Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:04

Very good. Hello and welcome to Mary Did You Know the podcast. For those of you who don't think that that's live, whatever the hell we just did proves that that sound is always live.

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Yeah, because today we are drinking old-fashions. Um so we don't have our usual glass with the bunch of ice in it. We have um short rocks glasses with one solid square ice cube. And they're really good, but you can't really like jingle again. We can't make the the iconic Mary Did you know intro sound of the ice being clean.

SPEAKER_01 0:58

It's live every live every time, which is why you heard whatever the hell that just was.

SPEAKER_00 1:01

Yeah, so I'm sorry for the rest of this episode. You will have to hear us cheersing our glass instead of the ice.

SPEAKER_01 1:08

You know what? It's fine. It's variation on a theme. Yeah. We're good. And just yeah, so you know it's always live. So for those of you who listened last week, you know that because I feel like we can't pretend. Although I don't remember everything we talked about, so that's actually good.

SPEAKER_00 1:22

Yeah. It'll be like a refreshing.

SPEAKER_01 1:23

We had we're we're gonna kick off by talking about the we're you're getting the lost conversation, but like 2.0 that we had last week um that the world didn't hear.

SPEAKER_00 1:33

Yeah. So we started our first basically our entire first section was like my microphone was garbled and it just like was static y and it was not usable. She was fighting for her life. Yeah. So um unfortunately we had to cut the entire section. So we're gonna revisit everything we talked about in this episode just to, you know, because shareholders are always our number one priority.

SPEAKER_01 1:56

And it was a good conversation, and we're gonna have another good conversation.

SPEAKER_00 1:59

Yes, if we can remember exactly what we said.

SPEAKER_01 2:01

Well, I could kick it off by saying, now you're really done. Because before when we had this, you technically weren't done yet. I wasn't done. We were doing we were doing a little preview. Yes. Now you are officially done with your with your show. So how are we feeling? How are we doing? How was the week?

SPEAKER_00 2:12

Oh, truly never been happier. Um and I love theater. I love theater. Love it. Love theater, love it. But I am just so relieved that my in my four-show run is finally over. Um that's crazy. Because I finally have time to relax. I can wake up and say on a weekend and say, what do I want to do today? Correct. And have the world as my oyster. Um, so it's been a great week um of rest, of sleeping, of putting me first.

SPEAKER_01 2:47

Of doing what you want. Yes. Which you you've you've been beholden to a schedule for so an example of the mindset change you get into. I uh uh Kristen and Kelly who own Second Gen, who we'll get into in a minute, we're trying to organize like a brunch thing. And they were like, Oh, how about this day? I go, Oh, that works for me. And then Kelly goes, You're in rehearsal. And I said, Because my mind is not there yet. So it's like your mind, like you were in a mindset where like any free time you had was like few and far between. Because you're dictated by a schedule. Correct. Now you are the schedule.

SPEAKER_00 3:16

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Look at look in the mirror every morning and say that. Right. Yeah. So it's it's just it's really lovely to have time off. Um, although I do have one more small project.

SPEAKER_01 3:29

Another, another gig.

SPEAKER_00 3:30

Yes. Um, which is the second generation theater bucket list fundraiser concert. Um, which when this airs, it will have already happened. Already already happened. Um, so I'm super excited for that. Um, because that it's it's very low stress. Oh, it's fun. And it's fun. It's like, yeah. So for those who don't know, second generation theater puts on this um annual fundraiser concert um called Bucket List, where they invite uh a bunch of actors in the in the community to come and sing a few songs, um, typically of roles that they would like to play. Yes. Um, which is why it's called like a it's called bucket list. Yeah. Um so I wanted to talk about that and also ask you and talk about my own list of top three, you know, like roles or projects we wish we could work on. Um but yeah, so do you want to start or should I start?

SPEAKER_01 4:30

Yeah, no, I can start because I think you start you started last time. The other thing I want I want to say about um about the the fundraiser, it used to be it's so much fun. I feel like now people know that you're going into a fun night. Like you know that you're gonna see something that's like a little a little crazy, a little whatever. But uh when we first did the first miscast, I think it was the first time it was miscast still. I was in it and we were rehearsing the songs, and you know, you're doing whatever, but because I don't think we I had happened, I forgot that it would be funny. So, and like you know, you're like also sometimes the songs you're singing again again, because it's bucketless, you weren't augmenting keys. So you're singing the keys. We were doing like I was doing a summer in Ohio and like a different key, and like you're just like your brain gets a little weird, and so yeah, we're practicing this stuff, and I remember before our solo songs, uh uh our friends uh Michelle and Bobby did um Suddenly Seymour, but like gender swipped. Love it. Um, and Mark and I came out to do the like urchin part, and it was in that moment where I walked out, everyone started laughing, and I said, Oh my god, this is funny. Which only because when you're stressed out about something, you just don't think about that. And it was such a walking out and just doing that, like suddenly, I was like, Oh my god, we're having a fun time, and then after that, you're like, oh whatever. Yeah, but like so that it's now you know that going in, but like I remember the first time being like, I'm so nervous. I was like, guys, this is actually just like fun. Like we're we're just having a good time. It's literally just you'll have fun, you'll have a great time. And there's a couple said, Well, now they won't be surprises any anymore. Actually, now I can say this because nobody will hear this. Britney asked me what her and Leah should sing. Do you know what this is? Yeah, she I go, okay, here's I go, I gave her a list. I go, here are some real songs, like legitimate songs you two could sing together. Here are some ones that are kind of funny. I was like, and then what if you just did the Phantom of the Opera? And she goes, What do you mean? I was like, well, like like like like like Leah obviously has to do the harder part. I go, but like Brittany, can you just not see yourself going, going like sing once again? Like it's it'll be fucking insane. So I'm very excited that they are doing it. Oh, that's good. Um you're welcome. Um, but I can kick off. Yes. So I um I I've actually even just I've decided to augment my answers from last time. I still have my two answers, and then I you last time were like, what about shows you want to direct? And that's was like, I was like, duh. So my number one uh dream role is the baker and into in into the woods. Yes, and so good. You know, it's just it's so good. He's like weirdly the lead of that show, which I feel like gets like a little lost, yeah, but he is he is um he's probably in the probably has the most stage time of anybody. Um it's just a beautiful part. And uh the other thing that like reminds me of it was like in college, I didn't get cast as the baker, and that sort of like began began my revenge tour because when you're not cast correct, you're like like you played one of the princes, didn't you? Yeah, like Rapunzel's Rapunzel's Prince. If you weren't Rapunzel's Prince, and that really meant something to you, which I doubt Rapunzel's Prince did, but like you would you're gonna be cast as Rapunzel's Prince, like maybe when you leave school, like immediate whereas like I knew not getting cast as the baker, I got like 30 years. No, that's probably a lot, like 20 years, until I'm someone's gonna let me do this. So that kind of pissed me off. And you know, I used to not talk about this because um of like respect for like where I went to school, but like you know what? Fuck them. Correct. It's kind of where my like it's it's kind of where like I'm like it's been it's also it's been so long. Yeah, I'm like, why am I also the person who We're spilling tea and also the person who did this to me doesn't work there anymore. Um tell the people it really just pissed me off because we had this like it was a lot of packets. It was like I had to sing no more and it takes two and no one is alone, and those no one is alone harmonies. If you don't know the baker's harmony, it's one of those things that sounds like the melody, but is not oh yep, hard. Very challenging. So, and like all these sides and whatever. And so this I prepared this whole packet, and also it doesn't help. You know, this happens when you're in college where everyone's like, it's gonna be you. It's gonna be you. And like it wasn't, and like all my friends, like Selene played the witch, and like all like all of my friends were in it, and like I ended up having to run projections as my crew assignment. Damn. Which was which means I had to sit up there in the fucking rafters and watch it every time. Also, the projections were ugly, and they were clip art, and I had to sit there and go, hit the space bar. Greens, greens, nothing but greens, parsley. Oh mama, this production was bad boots, not bad boots, I shouldn't say that. There were good performances in it from like some of from some people, but the overall like, and you know, I mean, like Dan Ertz played Jack. Um love. Uh I actually think that that might be the end of the list of the people you know. Now that I say that. But like, so there were there were good performances in it. Yeah, yeah. Um, it was just like, what if we did every concept? Like, again, okay, now I'm really good into it. I promise I'll be shorter on my other things. No, that's okay.

SPEAKER_00 9:06

After this, I want to talk about my war story for Into the Woods, because I think every BFA has an an Into the Woods war story.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

An idea that sounds interesting in theory is like every because we were using a synthesizer, a synthesizer synthesizer. Every, I've had too much to drink, everybody's music was gonna have a different feel. He wanted like the baker and the baker's wife to sound a little bit more classical Broadway. He wanted, you know, maybe the princess thing was more orchestral. I understand the concept. Okay, the witch was like a harpsichord. And you if Stay With Me is already an impossible song to count to hear it. I remember the first time that Selene heard the like she cried. She was like, I don't know when to sing. Oh no. And we eventually they changed it. But like this is the sort of rehearsal that they were were having. So anyway, I don't get the part. They cast someone who looks like a prince and they put him in a wig and a fat suit, and that was kind of offensive to me. Um and I wasn't even like I wasn't even like larger at that time. It still was like, what the fuck. Um and then I basically had like a post meeting with the director to be like, what did I do wrong? Like I'd like to just know Hawaii I wasn't right for this. And he basically was like, Well, nothing really. We just like, you know, it you know, it wasn't what I saw, which is fine. And I would be okay if the answer was that wasn't my vision. That that is uh it sucks, but that's sure fine. Yeah. No, he was like, Well, it wasn't my vision. Also, we knew you wouldn't like really get that mad and you wouldn't burn the department down. And I'm like, mmm. And then also I was the artistic director of the student show and president of the student association for the theater department. Anyway, um, I went in for this meeting to cast the student show, and I was up for one of the roles, and I was like, Well, we shouldn't cast me, like that's weird. And they already knew I hadn't been cast, and they didn't say anything. Ugh. Which is just like it just like puts a bad taste in my mouth. And again, in hindsight, your senior year of school, you actually like shouldn't be in shows and you should be doing other things. Correct. But that's not your mentality all the time. Yeah. Um, so that was the baker in Into the Woods. So I will do it again, but we'll pause and let you tell your into the woods story.

SPEAKER_00 11:14

Yeah, so I just want to interject quickly because um I too have an Into the Woods war story. Um, so we also did that my senior year of college as well. It was my last semester.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Ours were pretty close. I think there's probably like what two years between them?

SPEAKER_00 11:28

Three years maybe? I think three. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I'm old. Um, so it was my uh spring semester of senior year. And in the fall, I made the decision. I was like, I have enough performance requirements. I don't need to do this show. So back then, when we were auditioning for um like this season uh in a semester, we had to fill out like a form, and there's a box at the bottom that said, like, I check this box if you're auditioning for experience only. Basically means that you don't you're you don't want to be considered for any shows. Yeah. Um, which I don't know why they put that on there if they didn't want to like respect that, you know what I mean? Um, but so I checked that box and I got called into the the director's office and basically was like, he was like, um, why did you check this box? And I was like, well, it's my last semester of college, and I'm focused on having as much free time to go to New York City to audition for jobs because I'm like, come May, I'm going to be unemployed. Right. You know, so like my priority was to get a job lined up for after graduation. Um, and he basically was like, I picked this show for you, like you're supposed to be Jack. And I was like, okay, that's very sweet, but you've had the past three and a half years to give me a role or pick a show for me or do anything. Um, anyways, I basically was like, Thank you so much, but no, I'm still not doing it because I that would take up every single weekend of my entire semester. And like I said, I want to get a job. Um, so, anyways, um, long story long, I ultimately settle on accepting Rapunzel's Prince because he was like, Well, you can still do the show and you won't be called because it's such a small part. Theory is a good idea, but I doubt that's how it happened. It actually was because I I put my foot down. Okay, good, good. Like I was scheduled for more rehearsals, but I told him I was like, hey, I'm going to New York this weekend. So sorry, but if Can't be here. Can't be here, and if that's gonna get kick me out of the show, please. I'm begging you, you know. But it was one of those. Send me home. Yeah. Um so the the premise of our into the woods was like speaking of love story, like old Hollywood, like wasn't like JFK shit. Yes. So the princes were the Kennedy brothers. Oh Jesus Christ. Um I mean that means you were Robert. Anyway. I yeah, I don't I don't even know. Um, and Cinderella, oh my god, I'm gonna I blocked it out because it was so bad. I think Cinderella was Jackie. Um Jackie, Jackie O. Um, Little Red was Marilyn Monroe. I'm going to kill myself. Jack was Marlon Brando. Um like all of it, like none of it makes sense. And like Milky White was a tractor that he rode around in because it was supposed to be like his motorcycle. And like Milky White was not a cow. Milky White was a tractor. And I like it was such a bad concept.

SPEAKER_01 14:27

The we're so far gone from the plot of this conversation, but I need to chime in here to say that our production had masks. So um the adult characters, like Jack's mom, wore like a comedia mask. Oh wow. Also a fun of also a fun story. It was our friend Carissa that played Jack's mom. Celine, um, a stolen idea, played the witch with like those like arm things, um, fell into like a crevice of the set and was like looking up to our friend Carissa, who was like in our class, like like help me, and um this she didn't help her. And I guess afterwards they got half stage, and like I again I love Chris. If I saw her, we would laugh about this. I guess Celine was like, why didn't you help me? And she was like, Well, Jack's mom wouldn't help the witch. Oh, Nawar method, Nawar method, Diva. T, I respect that choice. Into the woods is is that's just cursed.

SPEAKER_00 15:14

That's it's just it's a such a good show, but any college that does it, like if you're not gonna do it the way it's meant to be done, and I'm all for having like a concept and doing cool things and trying different things, but like sometimes a concept is bad, and that's okay. Sometimes you just gotta do into the woods.

SPEAKER_01 15:31

Yeah, sometimes it's yeah, I will say to bring it those fairy tales to bring it back to the the origin of what we were discussing. A weird like moment where I look back and I go, why was I there? I was at opening night of SGT's into Into the Woods, their first production. Wait, that's it was a very last-minute thing. I was I um at the time I didn't really know like Kelly or Amy well, but I knew Laura, their sister, and I went with Laura and our friend Rihanna. Um they like got us in, it was sold out, and they like got us two extra seats and like was there for the champagne toast, which in hindsight makes sense for like where my life is now, but like makes no sense. The universe was like, you need this. You need to know these people. Um okay, so those are the war stories of Into the Woods. I'll be quicker now. Um Alban and Lakage, I would eat eat down, would be would be great. Lakage, even a rough production of Lakage, the show is good. It's like one of those shows. I feel the same thing about Little Shop. Even if the production is meh, the bones of the show are so good that you laugh, the music's great. And then two shows I really want to direct are Xanadu, which we have discussed. If anyone out there wants to do a production of Xanadu and pays their artists, um Sean and I are available to direct and play Sunny. Yes. Um not all of you do that. Um I have to go. I bet. I have to go. It was so it was so nice. Um and then uh Lil Little Women. I have I'll tell you my concept for Little Women after this. Yes. I have a really great, because I don't want y'all to take it. Um I have a really great concept for Little Women that only uses the original breakdown, which is 10. Oh, you've told me this before. It's so good. Yes. It's so good. So if anyone's available, uh, I have that idea too. Um and yeah, I think those are those are those are the ones that like immediately when anyone asks me, like jump out to me. But I also don't have any roles that I like are my age right now, which is a little weird.

SPEAKER_00 17:16

That's the tricky part about like dream roles is because certain roles uh it doesn't matter how old you are to play them, but a lot of them are like very there's a there's a time frame where you're like, oh, yeah. And like I I I have been very lucky to have gotten to perform a lot of my dream roles here in Buffalo. Um like Pippin and Emmett in Legally Blonde. Um, I I have been very lucky to do a lot of what I've wanted to do. Um, so I'm very grateful for that. Um, but there are definitely a couple that you know I'm I'm getting older. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. We're I'm not gonna play. I don't think I can play an 18-year-old anymore. Yeah, wow. And uh 710's a big room. It is, it is. Listen, if Steve Cops can do it, I can do it too. And you know what?

SPEAKER_01 18:06

Let that be, let that be the motto for you. Yeah. I was having a conversation with Kelly about how their last five years was uh was a memory play.

SPEAKER_00 18:13

Well, she said it, not me. And listen, I I I'll tell it to their faces. And you know what? When you belt the scroll like that, I don't care. Yes, yes, and I I love it. Um but it's it's interesting how ages apply to some and not others um when casting, but nevertheless, I will still audition for we persevere.

SPEAKER_01 18:36

So what do you think? I love work. So what are your other so what are the ones that you haven't gotten to?

SPEAKER_00 18:40

Okay, my number one is Fierro in Wicked. It always has been, and I think it always will be until like the rights become available for regional shows, which when the rights become available for regional shows, we'll be playing the wizard in Dylan. Truly, truly. Um so that's my number one. Um my number two is actually um Middle Noah in the notebook, which is one of the songs I'm singing at um the You're gonna Leave the Light On. Leave the Light On. Um, it's just such a beautiful show, and I love the movie, and I I like I like the beat. I luckily I'm entering, I'm at like the butt the early stages of this.

SPEAKER_01 19:14

You've got room to grow in this one.

SPEAKER_00 19:16

I have room to grow, so I still have and those rights are gonna be available in the next like three years.

SPEAKER_01 19:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 19:20

Like someone's gonna do that show soon. Yeah. And I I would love to play that role. Um the more I learn about my own life and you know, the more experience I have in my life, I can really bring it to the stage. Oh, yes, there we go. There we go. Um actor now. Yeah. I listen, I did one play. I know, five weeks. Listen, I can I can eat a roll down now.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

I know, we can see. Oh eating that roll down with some butter. Okay, sorry.

SPEAKER_00 19:51

Oh, this is a goofy one. Okay, it's the old-fashioned. Listen, it's a strong drink. What's that? Um, okay, my third is a role that I probably will never get to play, and that's okay. Um, but it's an angel in kinky boots. Um, I have wanted to be an angel literally since the show came out, and you know, it's just it's one of those shows that I've been cast in twice, two different productions. Who hasn't? And lit, yeah. And I've been in final callbacks for the Broadway show, for the tour, and I've just never gotten those jobs. Yeah. But when I finally was cast in a regional production in um like Coastal Carolina, Arts of Coastal Carolina, it was during COVID. Um, it was we were supposed to start rehearsal, I think, March of 2020. And I was getting ready, I had the contract signed and I was ready to fly down there. And got the call from my agent that it was canceled. Um, and then I was cast in the Buffalo production um that got postponed twice and twice, and then I was cast in Tick Tick Boom. Um, so I ultimately had to drop out of Kinky Boots to do Tick Tick Boom, and it was one of those hard decisions because I wanted to be an angel so so bad. But you know, not play Jonathan. I know it was it was a better option for me. Um, but yeah, so Kinky Boots is one of those shows that it's just the one literally the one that got away.

SPEAKER_01 21:13

There's room. I mean, like, I say this with love. I liked in the the musical fair one, like Mark was was older than the other girls, but still killed it and was not like he's he's not old. It wasn't like visibly like, oh, that's the old angel. But it was kind of giving like, oh, I'm the girl who's worked at the club for like a long time. And there's there's just room for it.

SPEAKER_00 21:33

And like that, that production was so good. It was so good. Like, I think just everything about it was was done with everyone in mind. You know what I mean? Like it really highlighted everyone's abilities, and it was so well choreographed, and just you know, like it sounded great and everything about it. So yes, uh if it's ever done again, maybe I could do it, but not in the capacity that I was always in for the back handspring angel. Well, she's not she's not playing that in the end, and I'm not doing that anymore. No.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

No, she's gonna be the she's she's gonna be you know what? Singer track. She's gonna be the in this corner angel. Even that have her getting a little crunchy. Yeah. Um well let's take a break and then we'll come back. Okay. How are we doing though?

SPEAKER_00 22:14

Um oh cheers.

SPEAKER_01 22:29

And we're back. Okay, so we're gonna talk about our week.

SPEAKER_00 22:34

Yes. Um, and I'm gonna turn it over to you because you had a very eventful I need to spin it to spin a tail.

SPEAKER_01 22:40

Am I still bruised? Kind of, yes, you are. Kind of. I'm a marked woman. So I had a doctor's appointment. Now I not to get like too deep into the tea, I had like I have two doctor's appointments in the next like week. One is for one thing and one is for the other thing. They're at the same place. I thought I was going to the other one, which would not have involved blood work. I feel like that's important to like kick it off with. The other one was more of a like primary check-in. This one was like a blood work thing. I forgot that. It was at 9:30. I did not drink any water beforehand. So and I and as soon as I got there, I was like, fuck. Because I was like, I my sometimes my arms are hard to find a vein in, but for the last like year I've known this, and I like take water, and there's fine. They they always, it's like one and done. And the the the people at the the the good workers at Evergreen are always very great at getting it out. Fine. I um forgot, and so they couldn't get, they like got found a vein and like blood wouldn't come out because I was dehydrated. And they go, Okay, so we're gonna have to get it out of your hand. And let the record show there's the gentleman who's helping me, and then there's an observer. It's like poor woman who was like watching. Not an observer. I don't think she was like a trainee. She seemed to be like, I think she was like administrative, maybe. Okay. I think she was like watching as part of like you know, evaluation. Okay, okay, which again was why I feel bad for this poor man. So they stick it in my hand, which I already hated. And he did say, he goes, I have a smaller knee to like. And he was like, Okay, okay, great, thank you. So it's in my hand, and I'm like, hmm, and I turn away. And she goes, Are you okay? I go, Yeah, I just can never look at it. And she goes, Okay. And then a couple seconds later, she goes, You don't look good. And I'm like, I feel a little dizzy. Next thing I know, I am down. I am being hoisted up by two people. I'm like waking up and I immediately think I've fallen asleep. So I go, I'm so sorry, I must have dozed off. And there are six people in this little room now, and they're like, No, Diva, you fainted. You fainted. And I'm like, huh? And they're like lifting me up. There's blood all over my hand, and they go, Yeah, you started like flailing. So we were trying to pull the needle out of you, and then we got it out, but then you kept moving and it almost stabbed you. And I was like, huh. Then this person looks at me and like I shouldn't say, like, I don't, there's like then it was hippa, but like this person used to work with my husband, so he's like, She's like, uh-oh, I think I think I might, I think your husband might be coming in later. And I look at her like, okay, like what am I supposed to do with that with that information? Um, but like she was just trying to help. I think she was trying to like ground me with something. Yeah, and I'm just like, huh? They like lift me up and they're like, Yeah, you literally just like passed out and fainted. That's wild. And I was like, What do you mean I fainted? I go, can I get some juice? So then they go and get me like some orange juice because like I was not doing well. They give me some orange juice, that kind of revives me. They give me um some water. I'm also there for like a shot, so I have to like get this shot still. So I gotta like roll over, like pull my ass out. So it's like, we're really just and then again, I don't think my husband will care about sharing this. Then later, which I guess I've been telling the story wrong, because the way I told have been have been telling the story would involve like a HIPAA break, which Matt's like, of course that didn't happen. So then um Matt goes in later to get his blood drawn. We happen to have an appointment on the same day, as that woman told me. And the like butterfly thing is in him, and there's like the plastic part that like the blood fills into. The plastic part pops off. So we just starts squirting blood across the room. And then this poor, it's the same guy. And this poor guy is like, oh my god, nothing has gone right today. And Matt goes, Yeah, my husband was in here earlier and fainted. And he's like, That was your husband. So the good people at Evergreen got a a the I don't even know. It was quite the day, yeah, and my hand is bruised boots, and that's um so dehydrate before your blood drawn. Yeah, this was the same day that we had plans to see a film. I don't know if that's the best way to transition, unless you have any other thoughts.

SPEAKER_00 26:36

No, I mean, I'm glad you're okay, but just too skinny. Listen, that's what I've said. Too skinny for the too little and petite.

SPEAKER_01 26:46

But this was the same day, which was great because everyone wanted the story, and I said you can wait for Mary. Did you know the pod? Yes, but you had organized a little field trip, so why don't we talk about that?

SPEAKER_00 26:56

Yeah, yeah. So I um last week I finished the book Project Hail Mary, and the book is so good. Matt's listening to it right now. Is he? Uh yeah, it's dare I say, in my like top three books I've ever read ever. Um that's why you had such strong feelings. Yes, yes, yes. Um, but yeah, the book was so so fucking good. Um, so the movie just came out, so we organized uh, you know, a bunch of our friends to go and see the movie. Um, so we went to the the Regal on Elmwood. Because it is as listeners, as shareholders know it is not showing in IMAX. Yes, it is not. So we couldn't see it in IMAX, but it was still a great experience. Um, yeah, so the movie was good. The movie was really good. So for anyone who is listening, you should go see it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

Um however, oh well, I also should say for anyone who doesn't know, without spoiling too much of it, the movie is about a um a uh scientist who now is like teaching because he's sort of like fallen from where he was. And uh there is an issue where there's some sort of I'm just gonna call bacteria, even though it's not really bacteria, that's sort of like eating at the sun. And so the world has determined that if we don't stop this thing, we're gonna, it's the earth's gonna get so cold, the crops will die, people will die, it's gonna become a global catastrophe. And so the world has united to attempt to fix this. And um, there's a person who identifies the Ryan Gosling character. She's played by Sandra Houler. What's her name in the what's that character's name?

SPEAKER_00 28:24

Oh girl.

SPEAKER_01 28:25

Strat Strat? It's like a four something.

SPEAKER_00 28:27

She finds those names where you like you read it and you just go, you go, okay, Hermione.

SPEAKER_01 28:32

Um so she uh finds Ryan Gosling, and then so you that's we're we're flashing back to that, but then we're also Ryan Gosling wakes up on uh the um the spaceship, and this is not a spoiler, it happens in the first minute. He's the slone survivor of whatever mission they're on, and so he's trying to figure out what his mission is while we're flashing back to memories of how he got there. It's basically the setup of the movie.

SPEAKER_00 28:55

Yes, and the book. Yes, yeah, yeah. The book is the setup the same way. Um I really did enjoy the movie. It's just one of those things that like going from the book to the movie, you lose so many details, you lose so much like explanation of things. And I'm really glad I did read the book because a lot of it was happening in the movie, but they didn't explain it. So it's like, I don't know if this is how you felt, but some things might have been like, wait, huh? How did what does that mean? Or like, how did how did we get there? They do a good job of explaining everything and trying to tell this the same story, but they did make a couple changes which I didn't really like. Um, but overall, I still had a really, really great time. There's a apparently a four-hour cut of this movie. I need to see.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

Um that I'm curious for like when they do the um we were talking the other week about physical physical media, so I will purchase it and see if the additional cuts are on there. But it is um it was directed by uh Chris Miller. No, Chris Chris Miller and Phil Lloyd. It's two men. They made the Lego movie. Um they also what gay? No, I think two two straight men partners. Um they made they made the Lego movie and they also made all the Spider-Verse movies, like into the Spider-Verse and those animated ones. Okay. Um they the last this is their first um their first live action movie in like 10 years because they got fired from the solo movie, which is baffling now watching this because their level of humor and their ability to film things in space feels so correct. And that solo movie is kind of a flop. So I'm like, what were they doing that you did that like Disney didn't like? Yeah, because they feel kind of right for that vibe, right? Um, but it's so good, it made a shit ton of money, which is good because it's like more on like the business side of things, like Amazon, Amazon, because I the there were a couple murmurs when the the screen was popping up in the beginning. Amazon bought MGM. So like MGM is now owned by Amazon.

SPEAKER_00 30:54

Yeah, because it literally started by saying like an Amazon company company production or something like that, and all of us were like, huh?

SPEAKER_01 31:00

And they've been trying to like, as there's all this drama going on, which I don't even know if you know any of this, but like the like Warner Brothers and Paramount were trying to buy, sorry, Paramount and Netflix were trying to buy Warner Brothers, and there's all this like I think kind of illegal consolidation happening. Amazon is trying to kind of be more of a producing studio. Like MGM has not done a lot, and Amazon has produced some movies in movie theaters, but the rumor is they want to do like 12 movies a year in movie theaters, and this is like their big bet. They spent 200 million dollars on this, yeah. Um, and it looks like it, it yeah, it looks great. I also I love that um so much of it is practical. Obviously, they're not in space, but they built all of the sets. There's not that much CGI. Wow, Rocky is a puppet, which is amazing.

SPEAKER_00 31:44

Yes, yes. Um, I love that they did that because you also it's first of all, it's hiring more people, it's employing like artists, um, and it looks great.

SPEAKER_01 31:55

And if you're right gospeling, to act across that is easier.

SPEAKER_00 31:59

Yes, yes, yes, yes. Um, but yeah, I'm I'm I loved it. I I love that aspect.

SPEAKER_01 32:04

I guess also the guy who shot this movie, um, Greg Frazier, uh f uh was the cinematographer for the first two dude movies, which is also why it looks so good. Oh, okay. He did not do the third one because he was doing this, but I guess I think because it was shot on digital, but I guess he does some process where he like he maybe I'm wrong about this. I think I'm pretty sure it was digital. They like print it out on film, then he like rescans it in and colors it, and that's why it looks so good. I think it's shot on digital, but they kind of make it look like film. Okay. Like the colors are more vibrant, like all of that, like it just feels more real. I guess the I guess he's done the same process for Dune. Um, and they just it just looks more everything, looks more tangible. Yeah, everything looks more real.

SPEAKER_00 32:45

Um what does it mean when it says like filmed for IMAX?

SPEAKER_01 32:49

So this is something that um is interesting that I've learned more recently, and also Ryan Kugler um does a great video uh about Sinners where he talked about all the different versions of it you could watch. He sort of broke down like the film aspect of it, like how you film things. Something about IMAX, which is crazy that I did not know. IMAX cameras are huge. They are like very, very large. And most people just use them for, you know, in this movie, for example, the whole thing was not shot with IMAX cameras. Okay. Certain sequences are like the larger space sequences are shot with IMAX cameras. And it just means that we actually weren't seeing the whole image in our theater, that it goes up higher. Oh, okay. There's more of it that we're not seeing. There's also 70 millimeter IMAX. There's there's there's different versions of IMAX. We actually have a fake IMAX. It's like it's not like it is IMAX, but it's not really the tr it's not even the true height of what the screens can be. There's only like five real ones in the country. Oh wow. Um, but it uh what the the camera is so loud. So when movies use it for the whole like that's why like they have apparently filmed the entirety of the Odyssey in IMAX. Oh wow. And most of Oppenheimer was shot in IMAX too. But the issue is you have to do ADR. Do you know what ADR is? Where you like go back in and re-re-record? Oh. So it's like usually ADR happens if like we're having a scene and we realize that I need to change my line. We use a shot that's the back of my head, and they just I re-record the line saying it to you. That's what ADR is. You can see it all the time in movies and stuff. Yeah. For IMAX, they have to go back in and re-record these scenes and sync up their mouth to it for almost every scene. If you're doing an intimate scene, because the the camera's like like during your scene. Oh shit. So that's why like all this shit with Sinners is crazy, but they did that with with IMAX. And that's why it's crazy that almost all of the Odyssey is shot entirely in IMAX. Yeah. There's also an issue with IMAX with length. And that's why Oppenheimer is three hours long, which is still too long. Because you physic if you shoot um IMAX film, it can't be longer than three hours because physically the thing isn't big enough to hold all the film. Oh, yeah. I know we'd think that I guess you do. I like film stuff. Yes. I also think like, not to get too nerdy. I I think we can tell when things are shot on film. I think you can tell when something, and we all love a shitty Netflix movie. But when they have that weird lighting, and it looks like there's a story of Greta Gerwig um before she made Little Women, going to, she was for some reason going to talk to Steven Spielberg. I'm sure who wouldn't, who wouldn't, who wouldn't like to? She was looking for advice or something, and he was like, You need to shoot down film. And she was like, Why? And he like brought her into a room and had her smell the film. Uh and she was like, Okay. She said, I get it now. But I think you can tell. Things look more vibrant, they look more real. And not everything's meant to be shot in film. Sure. You don't need to see a Spider-Man shot in film. Sure. That's a pointless thing. But you can just tell it just looks better.

SPEAKER_00 35:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

Um anyway, that's my rant about thing we should shoot things on film. But um, all this was to say that this movie, we didn't even get to see the best version of this movie.

SPEAKER_00 36:02

I know, and that's what kind of pisses me off because we missed on some of the scope of what it looked like. Should we go to Rochester and watch it in IMAX? We can. We can. I have time now.

SPEAKER_01 36:13

And I have some time. We can figure it out. Yeah. Um, but no, I I am very excited we we're discussing this. I actually don't think it's built yet. They're building this new IMAX in Rochester. I thought they already had one. Oh, maybe oh, yes, you're right. Sorry. They're building the 70 millimeter. They're building one that can play film movies. Oh. But they have a regular one too. Okay. So maybe we can go do that. Because I would see this movie again.

SPEAKER_00 36:33

I would see it.

SPEAKER_01 36:34

To me, this movie was two hours and 30 minutes, went by like this. There are movies that are 90 minutes that felt longer. Yeah. That felt that went by so quickly for me.

SPEAKER_00 36:43

I agree. I loved it. Yeah. Um, but yeah, any other thoughts on Project Hail Mary?

SPEAKER_01 36:49

I mean, I there's a karaoke scene which I lived for, which I know you did not. But what I also will say is I do love, we used to do this all the time. Sandra Huller, who plays the, you know, the woman. I love when we like, she was in a a foreign language film two years ago. She got nominated for best actress, like a foreign, you know, is from like, I think like Germany or something. She was amazing in it. But like nowadays, sometimes you just do that and then you go back to like Germany. I love that they were like, put this woman in a big budget movie. Yeah. More of that. Yeah. Finding people like that where you're like, she's very good. Yeah, and she was incredible. She speaks English. Yeah. And I feel like we talked a bit about this, whether or not we love all the changes to her character. She was a good person to play that character because I think she elevated what's on the page. It's a little flat, and they made her less flat in the movie, but I think she that Eastern European humor can go a long way. And I think she really kind of sold that in the movie.

SPEAKER_00 37:46

I agree. Yeah. In the book, she is definitely more she's less comical, she's less sweet, she doesn't really have like she doesn't sing a hairy style song. And she does not sing a hairy style song. So I saw that and I said, What the hell is happening? But the thing is, like, I do keep thinking about that scene.

SPEAKER_01 38:02

I don't know if it's good or bad, but I do keep thinking about it.

SPEAKER_00 38:05

And we talked about this afterwards, but I was just like a little annoyed by that, only because they did cut out a lot of other things. And I'm like, if you're gonna have this five minute scene. She sang the entire song. And she sang, yeah, she sang the entire song, and I'm like, if you're gonna have this five-minute scene of her singing a karaoke song, you just took away five minutes from an opportunity to explain something else that probably would have impacted the audience more, you know. Um, because the I understand why they made her more human and had like that relationship with um the main guy. Um, I understand why they wanted to build that Ryland Grace. Like, what is his um I understand why they wanted to build on that relationship because of what happens in the movie and you know the the twist and the the turns and the the revelation and all of that, but I still got the same effect reading the book without her having that humanity or that you know that relationship with him. She doesn't really need that for what the mission is. Correct, correct. And like it still was a shock reading it in the book.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

Also, I'll say Ryan Gosling, one of the best, one of the best we have. He oh yeah, that is number one, a that's a hot man. Yeah, that man is hot, and also like doesn't have an Oscar, and I feel like he's there's a couple I feel like it's coming for him soon. He might be nominated for this. He's very good in this.

SPEAKER_00 39:31

He is very good in it. Is it uh award-winning? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 39:34

No, but it depends. I do think this will be a movie similar to Sinners, which came out around this time last year. I do think this will be a movie that at the end of the year people are are like reminded of like I really liked that movie, yeah. Um it's gonna make a shit ton of money. He has three nominations and no wins, so he should have probably won for Barbie, honestly. Probably could have could have done that. And he um there was something else I was gonna say about him. Um he he also is like he can kind of do anything, like he does like very serious stuff, or he does this. I mean, not that he's the best singer in the world, but like he's in Lala Land and like he dances and like like but like he like he he he's done a musical, like he's done Barbie, and really Barbie's also musical. Like he's done like he can really do anything. Yeah, he's very good. He is he, yeah. So he's the right person. Movies like this are hard, it's like gravity with Sandra. Yeah, but like when you have a movie where it needs to really be on one person, that's a lot. But you were saying too, you noticed in the trait in the credits in the beginning, he's listed as an executive producer. So I think he's been attached to this from the beginning.

SPEAKER_00 40:35

I'm sure he has to be. And people want to go see it, so he's great.

SPEAKER_01 40:40

So anything else you got to say about Project Hal Mary?

SPEAKER_00 40:43

No. Um, if you haven't seen it, go see it. Um, and if you need a good book recommendation, read that fucking book. It's by Andy Windy Weir, who also wrote The Martian. It is so good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:53

Okay, well, we'll be right back.

SPEAKER_00 40:55

All right.

SPEAKER_01 41:10

And we're back with our sound never gets No, it's never. I need to keep I may have to have another one of these. Um we'll make more. Our titular segment. Titular segment. Mary Did You Know, or last week, but I didn't remember the name of it. And you're like, but just the name of the name of the podcast.

SPEAKER_00 41:26

I know you said, Mary, do you know? And I said, Wait. No. No worse. I said Mary, did you? And I said, do?

SPEAKER_01 41:32

You're like, Do you? There's a sign. And I said, look at that sign. Um, okay, so I'm gonna go first because mine's gonna be a little bit shorter. And you don't know anything about this, which is more fun. I realize sometimes I say these things that we already know about, but sometimes it's fun when you're like, you have no idea about this. Mary, did you know that we have defeated the evil on Grey's Anatomy? Okay, so I am still I am still a watcher. Walk with me here. Okay. Season 21. I'm seated. Because why would I stop now? It's like to give up now. Well, yeah, I've invested so much time. I don't even I barely watch it now. Like I play it, but I'm on my phone. Yeah, I'm doing work, it's my stories. It's on, I I lock in when I like the characters on screen. Yeah. But since season five, we have been tortured by the character of Owen Hunt, a ginger. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to say. That's okay. This man has been, he was married to Sandra O. He like he had PTSD, woke up in the middle, and I tried to tried to strangle her. This is in the show, right? Okay. Yes. He was married, so yeah, he was married to Christina to Christina Yang. Sorry. He was married to Amelia Shepard, who is Derek's sister. Um, he has been married to like he is like a terrible character. There is nothing redeemable about this man. I will say he was one of the few in the musical episode that could sing. But he, his name is Kevin McKidd. He has remained on this show because at a certain point he's now the third oldest cast member. Oh, wow. After Chandra Wilson and Jim Pickens have played Bailey and um the Weber. Like he's the third most senior. So he was on for that. Also, he directs like a hell out of the episode. So I think that's why they had still left him around. Yeah. But this character had like beyond run their path. Like, we were at the point now where they so they just announced that him and um Kim Raver, who plays Teddy Altman, are leaving the show. So, like, because they need to cut some costs, like if they're gonna keep the show going, and they probably make a lot of money. I'm bummed about her. She was a character that was a girlfriend of his in like season like eight or nine. She left and then she came back about like six seasons ago, and she's been like a primary cast member, and I love her character, she's super cool. But like their marriage, like, we ran the course, like they got divorced, and now you know, like Sophia Bush from like One Tree Hill. Oh, well, now she's on the show, uh, and they're scissoring. Um now she's now she's a lesbian. All right. And I'm like, haven't we run the plot? But I'm just so happy he's leaving because like I just cannot watch this man anymore. And I think that's part of why I got so exhausted by the show, is like Get off my fucking screen. And we have Owen Hunt has been defeated. I'm so pumped. I'm so pumped. I'm so pumped. He needs to go. And he is gone. And I will be tuned in for season 22. All right. Because he's gone. And that's my Grace Ananami rant.

SPEAKER_00 44:17

Unfortunately, I just never got into that show. I watched like an episode here or there so good as a kid.

SPEAKER_01 44:23

They say that every day two million people stream the Grace Ananami pilot on Netflix for the first time. That's wild. It's because, not maybe not two million, maybe it's like a million. It's because they say they are rarely out of the hospital, so it doesn't look as dated. Hair and makeup does, but like if you watch, I like recently um started like re-watching it from the beginning sometimes. Like I just like when I don't know what to what what to watch. Yeah. They kind like it's just scrubs. Okay. So like there is a weird thing where it's kind of timeless in a weird way, and I think that's why people jump in and 21 seasons. That's crazy. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 44:57

That's crazy.

SPEAKER_01 44:58

And also, like, I was watching this when I was like 13. I've been watching it since it aired.

SPEAKER_00 45:02

That's wild. Anyway, that's it. I feel like that's one of those shows that like once I'm finally retired and I have nothing but time, then I'll lock in and start.

SPEAKER_01 45:11

And it's one of those shows where it's so good. Like the first, you know, six seasons are like incredible. It gets a little bad, and then they make some changes, and then it's got another run of like five seasons, like seasons like 11 through 16, where I'm like, okay, we're back. Like, this is incredible television. Everything gets bad again. And so I think we might now be on the cusp of like getting better again. Even though Meredith isn't even on, she's like half on the show. Well, that's why I'm like, how can you call it Gray's Anatomy? But here's the T, and it does trick you. She's in about half the episode. So if there's 18 this season, she'll be in like eight of them, but she narrates all of them. And it does create in your mind that she's always there. Okay. Because every episode still starts with her narration. Yeah. And ends with her with her narration. I'll accept that. Also, I will say one of the more I just I saw a screenshot of this on Twitter today, one of the best reveals ever. So this is a season two thing, so I'm sorry. It's Meredith is sleeping with Derek, Patrick Dempsey, for you know, a lot of season one. And at the end of the first season, um, Addison, Kate Walsh, uh, you watch Emily in Paris? Yes. Uh, her boss from America? Yeah. Kate Walsh. She shows up and she's Derek. Like she, like, no one knows who she is. She shows up and she's like, Derek, hi. And Derek looks like very gag. This is the like the final moments of season one. And then uh Meredith's like, Oh, hi, I'm Meredith. Or like she like looks at her and she walks up and she shakes her hand. She goes, Hi, I'm Addison, and you must be the slut that's fucking my husband. Or she says sleeping with my husband, goes to black. Oh. End of season one. That's Cunty. Yeah. That's Cunty Shonda Rhymes. Shonda Rhimes eats down Grey's anatomy. Anyway, that's it.

SPEAKER_00 46:48

Let's pass it to you. Great. Um, okay. For something totally different. Yes. Mary, did you know Megan the Stallion just made her Broadway debut in Moulin Rouge? I live. Do you live? I do live. And we can we can get into why to why I live. I okay, here's the thing. I I do live. I do live. I kinda I half live. I half live. Um the show is closing, so I totally understand why they're like, you know what, we gotta let's sell these tickets. Let's bring in someone who will sell these tickets. My thing is I just like come on. My take on this, because yes, I have seen like what is happening to Bob.

SPEAKER_01 47:38

So there's three different things I've three different clips I've seen. The one I fucking so they're like level of live for the end of the show, which is just a mega mix where she just does body and wop. I live. It's a yeah, it's a few. And that's fun because that's always how the end of the show is been like when Bob was in it, they put purse first in. Like, that's it's a mega mix. Who cares? Of course. I did see a clip of her with the Duke, and she's talking and she's like, she's like, I'm just trying to make an arrangement, your grace. And I did live. She was like kind of acting. Okay. Where I don't live, unfortunately, is the clip of chandelier where like she's just not singing because she is not a singer. So she's doing like sort of the like one, two, three. She's like, and that's fine. And then they just have the other ensemble men like belting chandelier, and she's like dancing around. I know, and that's like that's the thing. I'm like, I it I feel like it's devaluing the art. But here's but here's where I go back to though. That's not a good show. And so I think, and we may dis disagree on this, and Moonan Rouge is one of my top four favorite movies ever. Yeah. And that is not a good show. Yeah. I have seen it twice, and there's a difference. I saw it with the original cast in New York, so excited, and hated it because it was such a disappointment. I saw it at Shays with my expectations of like this isn't good, had the most fun. Yes. And that's why I'm not mad about her in it because we're not It's not high of drama. And the show is fun. Yes. And when we saw it, I don't know if you saw it at Shays, but that when it's just high octane fun and zyniness, I think it's really great. And that's kind of what I think she's adding. So if Megan, who I love as an artist, but like is not like a singer. So if Megan was, you know, playing The Witch, I might have some questions about how those vocals are gonna work.

SPEAKER_00 49:22

Sure.

SPEAKER_01 49:22

But like it's Moulin Rouge, so I kind of don't care. It's kind of my stance. Yes. I agree with you, I agree with you in principle.

SPEAKER_00 49:29

Yes, and I totally understand where you're coming from because it is one of those shows where it's you know, it's it's not a serious show.

SPEAKER_01 49:34

Like Sateen walks out and sings firework with her full chest.

SPEAKER_00 49:38

Like, okay, can I tell you I saw Moulin Rouge when it was in Boston, right? Boston in their like out of town trial. This was pre-Broadway, and they were still like making changes daily to the show. Um, and I saw the preview, the whatever one of their shows, and she starts saying, Do you ever feel like like a plastic bag? The audience starts laughing, like laughing out loud, laughing out loud. And I said, That's not gonna make the cut. I said, once this goes to Broadway, because I was gonna see it on Broadway.

SPEAKER_01 50:13

Oh, with their full chest, they sing it.

SPEAKER_00 50:14

And it happened again when I saw it on Broadway, and I said, What? Yeah, no, they didn't they didn't take the hint that maybe this is not a good idea.

SPEAKER_01 50:23

I have so many problems with the show. It is, I understand why they want to end Act One with Elephant Love Medley, but then I hate that they basically mean that your song becomes what Elephant Love Medley in the movie is, yeah. Becomes their like duet thing. There are moments of that show that are brilliant. The entire Roxanne sequence, just like in the movie, is stunning. Yes. But my whole thing with the way that show ends is like you I know you can't recreate it. And it also the movie is kind of problematic because in the movie they just like invent Bollywood, which is racist. Um, but like it is basically what happens. But like, why is the song called like Hinty Sad Diamonds is what it's called on the track. But um it in the show, she just like dies in front of the ugliest flat you've ever seen. Yeah, and I remember why I was with Kristen in 2019 watching it on Broadway, and we both were kind of like, I should be sobbing. Yeah, like the moment, and now Nicole Kidman is my favorite actress, so this is not gonna surprise anyone, but the moment in the movie when it cuts to her and she's like, never knew I could f when she stands up and she's like, what's the part where she goes, and forgive everything? Oh my god, it's it's just incredible, and that's not what the show is. Right. And it's and I also understand the changes with the Duke because the Duke is very rapey in the movie, but like making the Duke hot is weird, and then why is he singing Only Girl in the World from Rihanna's album Loud?

SPEAKER_00 51:45

Yeah. There was also in the previews which they cut this part, or they changed it at least. There was this whole sequence where like the ensemble guys were like taking Sateen and like throwing her up and moving her in and out of this costume, and like it was much more, I guess, like choreography-based. Like they were moving her around the stage, like up in the air.

SPEAKER_01 52:10

That's also the issue with some of the songs in the show, is like, for instance, nobody wanted Queen wasn't really on a high in 2001 when the movie came out. So the show must go on, is a such a great sequence in the movie. But I'm sure Queen asked for a shit ton of money for it for the show because now Queen is back, you know, choring again, and so they didn't get it. But like that moment in the the movie is so good too, and you don't get that. The way Zidler is in the whole show, I don't really like it. I just don't I the show is gorgeous, it's beautifully staged, the script is just like bad boots. Yeah, um, yeah, but it is stunning, and like you saw it in Boston, so you saw similar to what it was in in New York, like the windmill and everything. Like aesthetically, it was it was gorgeous.

SPEAKER_00 52:51

Like, well, yeah, because as soon as I saw like the pictures of it was gorgeous that what they did to that theater, yeah, I literally got my best friend in New York and I said, We're going to make a trip. And we did, and we went and we saw it. And I just wish it was better. I know. I do I do enjoy it though, because not a bad romance like mix, bitch.

SPEAKER_01 53:14

Now that I know what it is, though, and again, I would go see it again now if it came here because I had a great time on tour, because my expectation was I'm not going to see what I thought was going to be a serious musical. Yes. I'm going to see a frothy, dips into serious romp. We're gonna have a good time. Um and again, oh that I think it's called like backstage something. Backstage romance. That is listen, I saw it on I saw it on Broadway, Max Max Clayton, the dancer. Mama those mama those thighs.

SPEAKER_00 53:47

They were clapping.

SPEAKER_01 53:48

I was in the audience. I was uh that was the that was that was the original goon. I was I was seated for that performance. Not that! Oh god, ooh! Oh the girls are gonna the girls are gonna take that one. Um oh god, look at the I can see the I can see the volume spikes. Just two gays cackling. Just two gays. That's not what I was gonna say. Um, and with that, I think that's it.

SPEAKER_00 54:15

Yeah. Um I think that's I think that's it. Mama, I'm drunk. I say we're going to the deuce. And we're going to the deuce, and I'm getting those damn chicken tenders. Well, we'll see you next time. Until next time.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

Bye, y'all. Y'all, am I going to take the equipment?
