Alex.
I'm Allison.
He's Alex.

SPEAKER_03 (00:18):
And we're so excited because it has been a while
since we've had a guest on thispodcast.
Actually, maybe almost a year.
Because I think the last timewas Angela Palamo.
Angela Palano.

SPEAKER_01 (00:28):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (00:29):
And uh we were wearing our Six Flags
sweatshirts, but I digress.
We haven't had a guest in a longtime, and it brings me a
tremendous amount of joy to behere today, joined by my life
partner, Dylan.
Where did we land on your sayingyour last name?

SPEAKER_02 (00:46):
He said yeah, it's totally fine.

SPEAKER_03 (00:48):
What about your social security number?

SPEAKER_02 (00:49):
Um, we can rearrange the numbers, let them try and
piece something out of there.

SPEAKER_03 (00:53):
What about just the last four?

SPEAKER_02 (00:55):
No, stop.

SPEAKER_03 (00:56):
Okay.
But I do want to say thisbecause really quick.
Dylan, you don't know this, andthis is really funny, but
something Alice and I have incommon, and I guess it's just
because we're both from the sameplace.
The first five numbers of oursocial security number are
identical.

SPEAKER_02 (01:08):
Yeah.
Weird.
That is it is you guys were bornin the same place around the
same time, right?
Within a month.

SPEAKER_03 (01:15):
It must be for a month apart in the same kind of
area.

SPEAKER_01 (01:18):
Yeah, that's really cool.
Well, thank you for being heretoday.
Thank you for being here today.
What's up, Mr.

SPEAKER_03 (01:24):
Thank you for being here today, Princess Diaries?
Anyway, Dylan.
You guys know Dylan from mostrecently seeing him in things
that we've been talking aboutand posting from Gay and Trying.

SPEAKER_01 (01:36):
Gay and Trying.
Gay is trying things.
You're gonna have to hold thatmic right up to your mouth.
Oh, bright here?
Yep.

unknown (01:43):
Cool.

SPEAKER_02 (01:44):
Oh my god, what is it?
How are you doing today?

SPEAKER_03 (01:46):
Yeah, Dill.

SPEAKER_02 (01:47):
I'm good.
I'm good.
It is um, it's you know, it'sthat time of year, you know?
It's like the weather isweathering and it's dark at 2
p.m.
And yeah, we're all just tryingto make it through.
I don't know how we did itbefore vitamin D supplements,
you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 (02:02):
I mean, truly, especially these gray days.

SPEAKER_02 (02:04):
It's crazy.
How are we getting by?
I don't even know.
I can't even tell you.

SPEAKER_01 (02:08):
Do you get seasonal affective disorder?

SPEAKER_02 (02:11):
Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01 (02:12):
I don't think I do.

SPEAKER_02 (02:13):
Yeah, I don't know.
It's like there's it feels likethere's always so much going on
at this time of year becauseyeah, it's fun.
You know, and it's fun, but it'salso stressful, and there's like
a million things happening andthings are changing and people
are leaving.
And I don't know, it's like Ithink the reason the SADs happen
so much is because it's like abreak in your routine.

SPEAKER_03 (02:32):
Big time.

SPEAKER_01 (02:33):
Um, and the sun going down sooner does really I
do get tired, but I don't thinkI'm sad.
What gets me is this is standardtime.

SPEAKER_03 (02:42):
Correct.

SPEAKER_02 (02:42):
Like this is how it would be if we I mean, granted,
the daylight is still longerbecause of the the sun and
science, but like, you know,it's it's still like funny that
like this would be standard.
Like it would be worse if wedidn't have daylight savings.

SPEAKER_01 (02:58):
That's true.
That is I do love the weatherright now.
It has been 60 in the 60 degreerange for the past three days,
and I have really been happyabout that.

SPEAKER_02 (03:07):
I'm like willing to argue it's been a little lower
than the 60.

SPEAKER_01 (03:11):
Do you well this this leads me into one of my
next questions is where are youfrom?

SPEAKER_02 (03:18):
Um, that is such a funny question.
Wow, what a very complicatedquestion.
Oh, really?
It's it's usually, yeah, peoplelike do this one as an
icebreaker, but like I don'tknow.
I moved, I I don't know, I movedlike I think 27 times before I
turned 18.

SPEAKER_01 (03:33):
Ah, okay.

SPEAKER_02 (03:34):
So it it's it's one of those things where it's like,
I don't know where to answerthat from.
I I grew up a lot in Reno,Nevada.
I lived a lot there.
And then I would say I lived inHuntington Beach um for probably
the the most amount of timeafter Reno.
Um and now I'm I'm in LA.

SPEAKER_03 (03:48):
He also says he's Canadian.

SPEAKER_02 (03:50):
Um I did.
I live in Canada for the firstfour years of my life.
Were you born there?
Um I adjacently.
Okay.
All right, case.

SPEAKER_03 (03:58):
Also, our sons are meeting for the first time.
It's so Stanley is like, am Idominant?
It's usually the sissy.

SPEAKER_01 (04:06):
Okay, well, I only asked that because if you I
guess spending a lot of time inNevada and here means that you
spent less time in the actualwinter months and like cold that
you would not like the cold asmuch as I do.

SPEAKER_02 (04:23):
What's Indiana like?
Cold.
Cold.
Like how cold?
Snow.
Because it snows in Reno.

SPEAKER_03 (04:29):
But it's does it stick?

SPEAKER_02 (04:30):
Yes.
Oh, big ski town.

SPEAKER_01 (04:33):
We oh all right.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, we have snow from probablyNovember through March.

SPEAKER_02 (04:40):
Yeah.
Ours, we let way less snow.
We get snow probably like I wantto say sticks December through
like February.

SPEAKER_00 (04:48):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (04:49):
Yeah.
But do you like it?
I love the snow.
It's actually my favorite.
And um, I did, I lived in Canadafor four years in Alberta.
It snows there, like super umsuper great.
I I love the snow.
There's nothing like a blanketof white snow on top of a
mountain.

SPEAKER_03 (05:06):
No, nothing like a blanket of white.

SPEAKER_02 (05:07):
Well, to carry your signal depression.

SPEAKER_01 (05:10):
I asked my sister, uh, we talked this morning about
me going home next week, and Iasked if it she thought it was
gonna snow, and she said no, andI was sad about that.

SPEAKER_03 (05:18):
Well, Alison, it's a little early with you know
climate change and all.
We don't really get snow tillthe end of December.
Is it true?

SPEAKER_01 (05:23):
I thought maybe, you know.

SPEAKER_03 (05:24):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (05:35):
Nope.
Sorry if you're watching this.

SPEAKER_02 (05:40):
He told me, he told me that he did not want to do
anything for his birthday.

SPEAKER_03 (05:44):
It was so cool though.

SPEAKER_02 (05:45):
I know, it was really fun.
I for context, by the way, Iwanted to take him.
There was this this really coolthing in LA right now, and it
travels, but it's it's a s butit's it's called science and
sip, and you basically get drunkand you do science experiments.
Like I'm talking like I'mtalking like middle school, high
school science experiments.

SPEAKER_01 (06:04):

How long is it here?

SPEAKER_02 (06:20):

He said, You're the type ofperson that I would be honored
to hold hands with and walk downthe street in public with.

(06:49):
Like he's like, essentially,like, I I want to be seen with
you.
Like, I want to show you off.
And my response was, oh, you'rereally trying, aren't you?

SPEAKER_01 (06:58):
You weren't like, oh no.

SPEAKER_02 (07:00):
No, inside you were melting, but you're like, I

I was like, oh, that's like thenicest thing ever.
And then I was like, Oh my god.

SPEAKER_03 (07:10):
Well He's a lovely man.
He has filmed, he filmed asegment for us.

SPEAKER_02 (07:15):
Oh cute.
Six years later, look at us now.

SPEAKER_03 (07:17):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (07:18):
Love that.
We're gonna get into Gay andTrying, but not yet.
I want to know your guys' firstimpressions of each other.

SPEAKER_03 (07:25):
Well, we told this, I told my first impression on
the first episode Gay andTrying, but I'll tell it here.
So I was hired to cam op for aLucy Hale press thing for Dylan.
F.
Mary Kill.
Sorry, F.
Mary Kill, BuzzFeed Studios.
I don't know.
Dylan was in charge of thispress day.
And you were new at the company.

(07:46):
Yeah, brand new.
I was gonna say it was like thefirst time I ever saw.
It was literally like six weeksin.
So my just for you guys, so youknow, when you go to BuzzFeed as
a guest or like as a freelancerat that time, like I was, you
sign in, you get a badge that'slike a sticker.
And I having I went in with mybadge and I was wearing these
exact pants.

SPEAKER_01 (08:07):
Whoa.

SPEAKER_03 (08:07):
And when I'm like running cam, I I'm taking my
jacket on and off a lot becausesometimes it gets sweaty.
And so I put my name tag on mypants.
I walk in, I see Dylan.
I immediately assume Dylan ispart of Lucy Hill's team with
the way this man is walkingaround the stages like a
seasoned pro.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (08:27):
Well, it's not my first time on a shoot, you know.
Like I was in charge of shootingfor a reason.

SPEAKER_03 (08:32):
I've been doing this for 20 years, energy.
This is a compliment, Dylan.

SPEAKER_02 (08:35):
Oh, good.

SPEAKER_03 (08:36):
And it's whatever.
I get checked in with the DP,whatever, we're chilling.
Dylan walks, I see him coming atme from down the hall.
He is walking towards me in hislittle maroon-collared shirt and
walks directly up to me, looksdown at my crotch, and goes, I
think it's so funny when peopleput their name tags on their
pants because you're forced tolook down at their crotch.
Hi, I'm Dylan.

(08:57):
And that, as they say, the restof the phone.

SPEAKER_02 (09:01):
And like for context, it's funny.
I don't it's just it'sinteresting.

SPEAKER_01 (09:06):
Full transparency.
Thought it was off.

SPEAKER_02 (09:09):
Well, so my first impression of Alex was um he
would always walk in, he wouldtake the elevator up one floor
because he's lazy.

SPEAKER_03 (09:17):
First impression.

SPEAKER_02 (09:18):
Correct.

SPEAKER_03 (09:19):
Yeah, how did you didn't she's saying first
impression?
What do you mean?
That was the art we saw met eachother in that moment.
I never took the elevator.

SPEAKER_02 (09:26):
Yeah, you wouldn't have to be able to do what Alex
doesn't know.
Oh, he observed you from afar.
That I had met Alex.
I hadn't met you.
Like we hadn't talked, but I hadobserved you from afar for a
while and and and made some snapjudgments.
Um, so basically he said thatman is gay.
Exactly.
By the way, is it normal thatI'm so loud?

(09:48):
It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 (09:49):
It's fine.
He can hey Milo.

SPEAKER_02 (09:51):
Milo?
Milo.
We gotta shut that down, bro.
He can't.
Although you are talking loudernow.

SPEAKER_03 (09:57):
Yeah, and I should do that.
Since you're not looking at yourlevels.
And you seem more comfortablenow.
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (10:04):
So um I had noticed Alex from afar, and I was like,
oh, hot gay man, um, gonna behorrible.
Just like very mean person.

SPEAKER_03 (10:13):
Um like, wait, like he's too pretty, he's gonna be
awful.

SPEAKER_02 (10:16):
Literally, I was like, he is so pretty, he's
gonna be horrible.
For context, most pretty gay menare.
True.
Um, sorry, if you're a gay manthat's watching right now and
you don't think that you'reawful, odds are you probably
are.
Dang.
Um or you're not pretty, is thatwhat you're saying?

SPEAKER_01 (10:31):
You know what?
I think our listeners are theexceptions.

SPEAKER_02 (10:35):
I agreed.
Anyone that listens to thispodcast is for sure the
exception, but there are a lot.
I'm not gonna say that every gayman is that is attractive is
horrible, but there are severalof them that just there's a
stereotype, there's a certaindemographic stereotype.
There's a stereotype for reason.
Well, and we work in WestHollywood, right?
So there's like a there is astereotype, there is an

(10:55):
expectation with gay men thatare just so and like I'm talking
like pretty pretty.

SPEAKER_01 (11:01):
Yeah, models.

SPEAKER_02 (11:04):
Correct, or or boy band members, or boy band
members of multiple boy bands,no same band, different names,
or names, or men that have theirown podcasts.

SPEAKER_03 (11:14):
Yeah, I mean a co-host.

SPEAKER_02 (11:16):
What does that sound?

SPEAKER_03 (11:17):
It's an air conditioner, don't worry about
it.
It's keeping us cool.

SPEAKER_02 (11:20):
Yeah, just ignore it.
Great.
So um basically, uh, I so I waslike, oh, I'm never gonna talk
to that man ever.
Whoa.
Ever.
Because I was like, I'm gonna,I'm gonna get made fun of.
Like it's gonna be shitty.

SPEAKER_03 (11:31):
Also, I've never heard this story.

SPEAKER_02 (11:32):
Yeah, no, you haven't.
And um, and yeah, that was mythat was my first impression.
And then I um and then you werecam-hopping on my shoot, and I
saw you in the morning.
I was like, okay, I'll get Ihave to talk to him because he's
cam-hopping on my shoot.
And and the thing about me is Ihave my guard very, very high up
with men like that.
And so that was like my firstthing that I said because I was

(11:53):
like, I was like, it kind of ina way is like a little
assertive, it is, but still likeplayful enough.

SPEAKER_01 (12:00):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (12:00):
I would agree.
But then Alex was like genuinelythe fucking nicest person I've
ever met in my life, and I waslike, oh, I'm gonna put my guard
way down.

SPEAKER_01 (12:07):
Yeah, and like it was.

SPEAKER_02 (12:08):
He is disarming like that.

SPEAKER_01 (12:09):
Was he wearing a hat or a man bun?
No at the time.
I was gonna say, because thosealso make him more intimidating.

SPEAKER_02 (12:15):
No, no, no.

SPEAKER_03 (12:16):
Was this February?

SPEAKER_02 (12:17):
It was in uh it was on October 31st, 2024.

SPEAKER_03 (12:20):
Oh my god, that's right.
Yeah, so my hair was a longtime.

SPEAKER_02 (12:24):
It was on November 1st, 2024.
And I know that becauseeverybody else got to go out on
Halloween and I had to be up atthree in the middle.

SPEAKER_03 (12:30):
Oh, that's right, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (12:31):
So we're in the morning to meet her.

SPEAKER_03 (12:35):
And then we went out for Pokebowls.
We did.
Maybe like a month later.

SPEAKER_02 (12:41):
Maybe a month later, and he was 35 minutes late.

SPEAKER_03 (12:43):
Can I tell you why?
We s it first we picked thePokestop, is that what it was?
Uh one of the one that's in NohoWest.
Yeah.
Is it Pokestop?
I don't know.
Whatever it is.
We picked the location onsunset, and then he said,
actually, can we go to thislocation?
I said, sure.
Then when I left the office thatday, I clicked on our the maps
and it took me to the one onsunset.

SPEAKER_00 (13:02):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (13:02):
So I was there like 15 minutes early, and I was
sitting out and I was like.
Then it was time, and I waslike, he hasn't texted.
And then I looked at the textmessages and realized I went to
the wrong fucking one.
I think I called him.

SPEAKER_01 (13:15):
You did what I did when I went to the wrong high
tops.

SPEAKER_03 (13:17):
That was really except you went home.
I drove then to K-town to stillmeet up with him.
He was tossing a ball in thisbusy ass like the parking lot
wasn't busy, but the streetswere busy as fuck.
He's just throwing a ball withMilo in the parking lot.

SPEAKER_02 (13:32):
You just got a lot of trust in him.

SPEAKER_03 (13:35):
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (13:35):
I do trust my dog.
It was the parking lot forcontext was not busy, but the
streets that the parking lot wason were were very busy.

SPEAKER_03 (13:42):
Like the ball got away from him one point and was
rolling towards an oncoming bus.

SPEAKER_02 (13:45):
Right, and he was chasing after it.
And that was very stressful.

SPEAKER_03 (13:49):
It was, but he did listen.

SPEAKER_01 (13:50):
He said, He didn't.

SPEAKER_02 (13:51):
Because I have I do stern voice.

SPEAKER_01 (13:53):
Yeah, you have to.

SPEAKER_02 (13:54):
You do stern voice with your dog, your dog listens.
If your dog doesn't listen tostern voice, you're a bad
parent.
Yeah, you gotta train your dog.
Come on now.
Allie's a great dog mom.
She gets it.

SPEAKER_01 (14:05):
Yeah.
I although Macy wasn't the bestoff-leash.

SPEAKER_03 (14:09):
So yeah, you couldn't count on her.
No, you couldn't.
She wasn't the best on-leasheither.

SPEAKER_01 (14:14):
She would just eat hot dogs with the battery.

SPEAKER_03 (14:16):
This is just to say this girl, insatiable to
appetite.
Like her dog, cute as fuck,doesn't will put anything in
that.

SPEAKER_01 (14:24):
If you weren't looking, she would down a whole
hot dog bun.

SPEAKER_03 (14:26):
I babysat her one time before I learned this about
her.
We're walking through myneighborhood and she gets really
excited by a smell, and I justkind of like let her go into a
bush.
I hear a noise.
I pull her out, an entire hotdog bun.
She's trying to like guzzle downmy throat before I can pull it
out.

SPEAKER_02 (14:40):
Well, and if you know anything about hot dog
buns, that shit gets stalereally quick.
And it was kind of cringe.

SPEAKER_01 (14:46):
She knew you were gonna take it away, so she was
trying to get it down.
I don't know why.

SPEAKER_03 (14:51):
She was a little Pomeranian.

SPEAKER_01 (14:52):
Oh my god.
Let me show you a little bit.

SPEAKER_03 (14:54):
It's as big as her.
You know that she has passed.
Oh.
Because you're talking incurrent context.

SPEAKER_02 (14:59):
Um I liked it.
You know what's so funny is forcontext, I did just find out
about this right before westarted shooting the pod.
Right.
Um, and I just uh forget.

SPEAKER_03 (15:08):
Forgot that fact.

SPEAKER_02 (15:09):
Okay, well.
So oh my god, the littlenecklace.
That's a good thing.
These are the pearls.
Yes.

SPEAKER_03 (15:16):
I loved dressing Macy up.

SPEAKER_01 (15:17):
This is what okay, I'm not gonna say something
morbid.

SPEAKER_03 (15:20):
This was near the end.

SPEAKER_01 (15:21):
I was gonna say this is what we used as her obituary.

SPEAKER_03 (15:24):
Oh, it was, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (15:26):
All right.
I have to laugh because thenI'll try to.

SPEAKER_02 (15:29):
You had a funeral?

SPEAKER_03 (15:30):
No, we just had some, we talked about it.
No, we just memorialized her,yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (15:35):
Her announcement, if you will.
Okay, well, we gave our audiencea lot of gay and trying promo,
and hopefully everyone went outand watched.
But I thought maybe we could doa little convo about maybe some
BTS that maybe maybe somethingfunny that happened that you
didn't show, maybe some BTS thatit is just like a a little

(15:58):
tidbit.

SPEAKER_02 (15:58):
Okay, we're thinking of the exact same moment.
I'll tell you that right now.
Milo.

SPEAKER_01 (16:02):
Not the tripod.
P.S.
What was the fisherman's nameagain?

SPEAKER_03 (16:06):

I think he is I was people weremad that we weren't tagging him
in the clips.

SPEAKER_02 (16:14):
There was one man that got a big thing.

SPEAKER_01 (16:15):
Oh my god, like yeah, he was so funny.

SPEAKER_02 (16:17):
I had a great day.
This man's private on Instagram.
We were sitting there going, heprobably doesn't want all of the
attention.
But he was performing and he wasgiving us great.
And we kept shouting out thebusiness.
We were talking about thebusiness so much.
We love little guppies fishingadventures.

SPEAKER_01 (16:32):
Yes, we do, little guppies, picturing adventures.

SPEAKER_02 (16:35):
Little guppies for the win.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (16:37):
But yeah, what's this?
You guys had a moment.
What is the thing you'rethinking about?

SPEAKER_03 (16:41):
I don't know what you think.
I don't know what he's thinkingabout.

SPEAKER_02 (16:43):
Yes, you absolutely know what I'm thinking about.
For context, the whole thing islike I'm so bad at everyday
tasks.
Like, so bad at them.
It's it's criminal.
Yeah.
And Alex is really good at them.
And in the fishing episode, whenI was busy catching the fish,
um, Alex is Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (16:59):
This didn't air, which I was kind of surprised
about.

SPEAKER_02 (17:01):
I know, because we didn't.
We were focused on for context,we were focused on the actual
catching the fish as we shouldhave.
In the time, Alex um, you know,was he tried to alert very
beautiful fish Daddy Lorenzothat um if if he followed
Lorenzo's instructions and leftthe fishing pole on the boat,

(17:26):
that the fishing wire, which was80 feet in the water, was gonna
start to tangle around theengine.
Oh, okay.
And it did.
And so Alex broke the boat.

SPEAKER_03 (17:36):
Like we had to that was done.
Like we were lucky that we gotthat fish and that we got we got
the good that good footagebecause it was done.
We couldn't.

SPEAKER_01 (17:44):
So while you were catching it, the motor was
completely it like got fled.

SPEAKER_03 (17:48):
It was like so.
Lorenzo jumped into action whenthis happened and became like so
serious.
And I had my own pole, and thenhe handed me his pole and said,
Hold this, don't move.
And I see the boat moving andseeing that my line and his line
are going towards the motor.
Then I was like, hey, like ifyou watch, you hear me politely

(18:09):
a couple times try to like belike, hey, hey Lorenzo.
But uh I didn't catch this whenI thought basically, like, shut
the fuck up.
He literally was so concentratedon telling Dylan what to do.

SPEAKER_02 (18:20):
Yeah, and not in a dicky way, in a way of like
seriously.
He knew the assignment.

SPEAKER_03 (18:24):
Like because we can tell this, right?
How like we're gonna edit this,so I don't know why.
We were having terrible luck,and he was prepared to buy a
fish from his buddy on the lakeand make it stage it as though
we caught it.
Like that was what we were aboutto resort to, and then Dylan
actually caught a fish.
Yeah, and I got both lines, likeI see them going out of the

(18:44):
poles right when Dylan'scatching, like he's uh when
Lorenzo's netting the fish, andI was like, Well, this I'm not
gonna be like, okay, hold on,yeah, guys.
So truly, like once everythingcalmed down, Lorenzo was like,
Yeah, that's we're done.
That's about it.
I'm gonna have to spend sometime taking all this line out.

SPEAKER_02 (19:03):
Because he goes out on like three tours.
Three trips a day, yeah.
And we were his first tour, andso we were late, so we had
another tour you had to go onafter.
Yeah, it was a mess.
Um, he was so chill abouteverything.

SPEAKER_03 (19:17):
Yeah, really truly the greatest.

SPEAKER_01 (19:19):
Well, you had another boat, right?

SPEAKER_03 (19:20):
So did you So his boat had two motors, and there's
one that was able to get usback, and the one that I ruined
is the one that you use to catchfish.
It's got the sonar in it.
It it moves the boat withoutusing the main motor, so it's
quiet.
So it was like we couldn't, wecould just drive somewhere.

SPEAKER_01 (19:37):
Got it.
So you I I thought you meant youwere just like stranded,
stranded in there.

SPEAKER_03 (19:41):
Had we been stranded, Karina and Emma would
have rescued us in their tinylittle tin.

SPEAKER_01 (19:44):
Yeah, it would have been actually kind of funny if
that had happened and you had tolike be towed in.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (19:48):
Like we really failed.

SPEAKER_02 (19:50):
Would have made better content.

SPEAKER_03 (19:51):
Probably I had a great time.
We at the office offices there'slike TVs everywhere, and they're
always like looping BuzzFeedcontent, and they finally added
gay and trying to put thefishing episode in there.
So we're playing throughout theoffice every like 40 minutes to
see it come through.

SPEAKER_02 (20:07):
Uh-huh.
Which is like, by the way, like,because I I I don't work on the
video side.
I I do stuff with the videoside, but like I'll have clients
or people come into the officeand like be coming to like meet
me, or like I'll be joining ameeting and they have to like
walk past this fishing video.
Like, what?

(20:27):
Exactly.
Which is it's like I I don'tlove that.

SPEAKER_03 (20:32):
You're also sometimes popping up in the food
the uh cocoa butter videos.
We've done some things.

SPEAKER_01 (20:37):
Oh yeah, I've seen those.
Is it just the fishing one?
They didn't add like all thethings.

SPEAKER_03 (20:41):
They'll they'll probably cycle it in.
They like make these like cutsthat they change like every
couple weeks.

SPEAKER_02 (20:46):
Yeah.
I think the I think theHalloween episode was in there.
Oh, it was.

SPEAKER_03 (20:51):
You're absolutely right.
It totally was.

SPEAKER_01 (20:52):
I need you to know that the moment I got touched by
a cockroach in the way that youdid and putting it in your
pocket, I I actually would havepunched someone.

SPEAKER_02 (21:04):
You did you go through 17th door?

SPEAKER_01 (21:06):
No, I know.

SPEAKER_02 (21:06):
No, she's saying had she been about it.

SPEAKER_01 (21:08):
If I would, like that would have been a breaking
point for me.
I would have been fine with theholding my breath, the whatever
tarantulas?
No, the bugs, tarantulas,spiders, whatever.
That's where I would be likeliterally She was so dissociated
by then.

SPEAKER_03 (21:24):
I was done.
She was not even like I wouldn'thave been able to do it.

SPEAKER_01 (21:27):
Everything else, fine, whatever.

SPEAKER_02 (21:30):
Yeah, the cockroaches um were a journey.
I I don't know.
I um I at that point I had no Igenuinely like so many people
reached out, were like, Well,you obviously knew.
I had no idea what was going on.

SPEAKER_03 (21:43):
No, no, no, he didn't.
And we How'd you get it out?

SPEAKER_01 (21:45):
Did you take it out?

SPEAKER_03 (21:47):
I I feel like a head.

SPEAKER_02 (21:48):
I know where I think he probably pulled it out.
I have no idea where thecockroach is.

SPEAKER_03 (21:52):
But like that was it was a complicated run of
emotions in that room becauseyou were seeing actual, like, so
the the cockroaches that theywere like using, they had
painted their shells.
So they were like glowing.

SPEAKER_01 (22:02):
So they could see them.

SPEAKER_03 (22:03):
Yeah, but there were some that were like smushed.
So there's like no, it was alittle like, oh, there's they're
like, they're like actuallykilling them sometimes, and it's
like a cockroach, they don'tfeel like ones just running
across the floor at actually.
Correct, and that was happening.
They were running everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 (22:17):
No, for real.
Like, I would have been like,I'm done.

SPEAKER_03 (22:20):
Well, the best thing that came out of that was we
went viral on TikTok, Instagram,and then again on Instagram with
Lad Bible.

SPEAKER_02 (22:28):
Yeah, and so many people um thought I was a lady
for real.
And that's the worst part, isI'm like, oh yeah, like you
know, people were like, it wasso funny because a lot of some
of the comments were like, Oh,that fat fucking ugly bitch, and
then everyone else in thecomments were like, What the
fuck is wrong with you?
She's not even that ugly.
And then it was like commentsthat were like, That's not a

(22:51):
woman.
Like, it just got me every time.
I because I was reading throughthe comments for like, you know,
weeks it was weeks worth ofcomments that were coming in,
and I just kept it was likepeople arguing over like whether
or not I was ugly.
Yeah, but as a definitely awoman.

SPEAKER_01 (23:06):
I get that.

SPEAKER_02 (23:08):
How you did not get that you were so pretty.

SPEAKER_01 (23:11):
I do get hate comments quite a lot.

SPEAKER_02 (23:14):
I mean, I wish I was.

SPEAKER_01 (23:15):
I do thank you for that, but I do get so I was
gonna ask how you're doing withthe comments.

SPEAKER_02 (23:20):
I mean, look, like I honestly I think a lot of them
are so funny.
My favorite.
You were stressed for a coupledays.
There were a couple of days thatI was like, ah, this is a lot.
But my favorite was justsomebody um commented a picture
of a honey-baked ham.
Oh, you did say that.
And that I just the creativity.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
It's like it's art of its own.
Yeah and you kind of just haveto respect it.

SPEAKER_03 (23:42):
No, it's it's fucked, is what it is.

SPEAKER_02 (23:45):
Yeah, it's it does make me laugh because like if
you flipped it, you know what Imean?
Like, imagine if like you posteda TikTok and I just posted like
a picture of a green bean.
Like that would be crazy.
Yeah.
I just it's so funny that peopledo think that they have the
agency to kind of like you know,but if you flip it, I don't

(24:05):
know.
I you kind of have to entertainit because if you don't
entertain it, like what am Igonna do?
You know?

SPEAKER_01 (24:10):
I do think like it getting on Lad Bible and places
like that, it did reach adifferent side of the internet
than I'm usually a part of, eventhough I do still get hate
comments from on TikTok or onlike people that randomly end up
that seeing your video that are.
Yeah, but I do think likegetting on Lad Bible is like a

(24:31):
different demographic.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (24:35):
Well, so I do feel you and people are annoying.
Something by the way, Alison,that you don't know is I was
watching your videos when I waslike really coming into my own
as like a really person.
Wow.
And so it it is actually reallyum fun because now that we've
like, you know, become friendsand done that whole thing, it's

(24:55):
like you really were like theperson that for a lot of people,
I think it's like, hey, you canbe a bigger person, but also be
healthy.
Yeah.
And also like celebrate yourselfand not be, you know, ashamed to
put yourself out there.
And like that really is.
It's so inspiring when you're,you know, growing up and you
have people like that, whichlike we can talk about the
Ozempic craze all day.

(25:16):
Like it feels like there'speople now that like like Amy
Schumer and Lizzo that werethose icons that are getting all
of these allegations, even likewhen it's Lizzo's case, like she
has said, I'm not on Ozempic,I'm just like healthy.

SPEAKER_01 (25:28):
Yeah, you know, but it's you can't no one will
accept that anymore.

SPEAKER_02 (25:32):
No, it's just like, yeah, because they have to
undermine even when somebodyactually gets their eating
disorder under control, notsaying that any of these
celebrities have eatingdisorders.
I'm just saying, like in mycase, right?
Yeah, like you can get yourselfunder control or work really
hard to accomplish something,and somebody has to undermine it
in some sort of way.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (25:49):
Yeah.
No matter like, no matter whatyou do, someone's gonna say it.
Whether you're on Ozempic,whether you're not, whether you
love your body the way it is, orwhether you want to get to be in
a smaller body, like no matterwhat it is, like there's always
gonna be a comment that is bad.

SPEAKER_02 (26:09):
By the way, hot take.
Anybody that hates anybody forbeing on Ozempic wishes they
could be on Osempic.

SPEAKER_01 (26:14):
Oh, for sure.
Yeah.
Well, it is also that age-oldthing that's like people who
hate people in bigger bodies,it's like you want us, you're
like, you're telling me to go tothe gym, but then when I'm at
the gym, you're taking up toomuch space if it's yeah, or
you're like making fun of me forthe way I'm doing it or the way
I look or whatever.

(26:34):
And it's like, well, like whatdo you want from me then?
Like, what do you want?
Yeah.
So I don't know, it's a wholething.
But I do appreciate you sayingthose nice things.

SPEAKER_03 (26:44):
I didn't know that he's known you.
I'm sorry, I should have Ididn't know you had a we had a
fan coming.

That's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 (27:20):

SPEAKER_03 (27:25):

SPEAKER_01 (27:29):
Saying if I had seven million, there'd be signs.

SPEAKER_01 (27:42):
Um, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (27:43):
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (27:43):
Anyway.

SPEAKER_03 (27:44):
And she's grateful for all of you.
I am.
Thank you for watching thispodcast.

SPEAKER_02 (27:47):
Yeah, there would still be signs.
I see that Apple Watch.

unknown (27:49):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (27:51):
1% battery.
Okay, speaking of signs.

SPEAKER_03 (27:54):
Oh.

SPEAKER_01 (27:55):
No, that's not a good segue.

SPEAKER_03 (27:56):
I love her.
She's really trying with thesegue.

SPEAKER_01 (28:00):
I saw you were at Wicked last night.
You saw Wicked last night.
And I need to know, withoutspoilers, even though I know the
story and he knows the story,and probably a lot of people do.

SPEAKER_03 (28:08):
Okay, but what before we get into Wicked, I
wanted to ask him.
Have you seen Moulin Rougemusical?
Yeah.
Okay, so she just saw it.
I saw it on the We talked aboutit in the last episode, but I'm
curious to hear his opinion.

SPEAKER_01 (28:20):
Yeah, what are your thoughts?

SPEAKER_03 (28:21):
Because her opinion is very specific.
Not bad.
I think that Moulin Rouge is theworst musical I've ever seen in
my life.
She walked away from it.
She was nicer than that.

SPEAKER_02 (28:32):
I so I um my boyfriend took me to see Moulin
Rouge for my birthday, and thiswas like mid-2021, right?

SPEAKER_03 (28:40):
Are you not seen it do you with your tickets?

SPEAKER_02 (28:42):
No, I don't.
I didn't renew my my teacherspassed this year.
They didn't.
Um, I didn't like any of theshows.
Um, and like not enough to likeget a season ticket.
Like you can rush, you can getlottery tickets, you can buy
tickets one at a time.
Like, really, the only reasonyou get a season pass is if you
want the same seats.

SPEAKER_03 (28:57):
Three or more shows.
Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (28:59):
Or if you want the same seats.
Oh.
You still pay your normal ticketprice.
But it's just you're guaranteedthe spot.
So, and then also the pre-accessto the extra shows.
So, like And you can resell,right?
And you can resell your tickets,exactly.
So uh my boyfriend took me to gosee Moulin Rouge in July of 2021
for my birthday um at thePantages, and this was still

(29:20):
during COVID times, and so maskson, and he was going through a
very emotional time in his life.
And uh, so we go see MoulinRouge, and for context, if you
don't know about Moulin Rouge,it's a jukebox musical.
And I do like, I'm not gonna sayI don't like jukebox musicals.
Like Mama Mia Angeliette is sogood.

(29:41):
It's it's good, you guys.
It's good, but it's a it's ofthe better jukebox musicals, but
I do think that jukebox musicalsare a lower tier of Broadway
musical for me.
Mamma Mia is the only exception,but that is because I knew Mamma
Mia before I knew Abba.
Oh wow, okay.
So the songs to me felt Likenew, yeah.
And they were really wellintegrated in the story of the

(30:04):
of the musical.
Moulon Rouge, they're not wellintegrated into the story of the
musical.
Exactly what she was saying.
It really took me out of it.
I'm so grateful for you.
And so, and so at the end, likethey're singing this, like the
big, like sad, like momentballad is it's rolling in the
deep, right?
Yeah.
Or it's like set fire to therain.

(30:24):
It's some shit, or it'sfirework.

SPEAKER_01 (30:25):
Like it's it is an Adele song.
It's an Adele song.

SPEAKER_02 (30:28):
I think it's I think it's rolling in the deep.
And they're like the big, like,you know, the I Want song, uh,
which if you know musicals, likeyour typical I want songs are
gonna be like How Far I'll GoFrom Moana, or um Defying
Gravity.
Defying Gravity is Elphaba's IWant Song.
Her I Want Song is Firework byKaty Perry.

(30:48):
And I just so, anyways, it'slike this big, it's like the
moment where like the very end,it's the big emotional payoff.
And what's the song thathappens?
There's one million songs that Idon't know.
It's a bad song.
It's like the equivalent oflike, you know, when like I'm I
don't want to spoil no, I've no,you can.

SPEAKER_03 (31:08):
I've seen it.

SPEAKER_02 (31:09):
Like when he's done dying or she's dying or
something, and she's likeleaning over to him and she's
like singing a song.
What is that song?
Hmm.
We might have to Google it.

SPEAKER_00 (31:19):
Yeah, we can just Google it.

SPEAKER_01 (31:22):
Um, okay, so this says at the end of Mulan Rouge,
Christian sings your songReprise to Sateen, which
includes elements of your songCome What May, and Heroes.
We could be heroes, is that it?
It doesn't feel right.
What's the song before that?

SPEAKER_03 (31:39):
No, there's no one here, by the way.

SPEAKER_01 (31:42):
All the songs in Mulon Rouge for the musical.
Thank you, New York TheaterGuide.
Reject all.
I don't even know.
Let's go to the end.

SPEAKER_03 (31:55):
More, more, more.

SPEAKER_01 (31:56):
The finale come what may.
Through the moment of ultimatehappiness of short-lived,
Christian resolves to write downhis and Satine's love story to
the memory he will never die.
Your song Crazy Crazy.
Oh, yes, Crazy Roxanne, Crazyand Rolling in the Deep.
Okay.

SPEAKER_02 (32:16):
So at the very end, it's like a big emotional
moment, right?
And it's set to gnarly.
Or that's wrong.
It's set to crazy by GnarlesBarkley.
Yeah.
And and I look over, and likethe girl three rows ahead of us
is in tears.
No.
And and my boyfriend is like ina mask, like also crying.
And I'm like, oh my fucking god,he's crying.

(32:37):
I have to break up with him.
Like, what am I the only one inthis entire audience that thinks
that this is just absolutelyhorrendous?
And then I like, you know, he'sgoing through a really emotional
time in his life.
I look at him, I'm like, are youokay?
Like, we can leave.
Like, if we can, we can go.
Which makes him start to havethe reaction he was having

(32:59):
harder.
He was laughing his fucking assoff because it was so bad.
And the girl in front of us wassobbing like in full hysterics.
And she was like, he was like,What is going on?
Oh you're like, wow.
I had never felt more connectedto him than I have in that
moment.
It was so beautiful.
Shannon.

SPEAKER_01 (33:18):
What I said last week was that I thought that the
actors like in this production,phenomenal voices, like had the
best time listening to them,especially Satine.
And the dancing was really fun,and like loved the choreography,
love the dancing, all of that.
It was literally just the songchoices that it's so millennial,
and like I love a millennialsong, but it's kind of all the

(33:38):
worst millennial songs.

SPEAKER_02 (33:39):
Yeah, and that's the thing.
Like everybody did their job.
The director directed the hellout of it.
The production design's amazing,the set designs have amazing.
It's so much.

unknown (34:26):
Famously.

SPEAKER_03 (34:27):
But the male dancers she said this famously.

SPEAKER_01 (34:29):
Famously.
But the male dancers in thetouring production were great.

SPEAKER_03 (34:32):
Excellent.

SPEAKER_02 (34:33):
Yeah, it's it's rough.
It's a rough time.
Um, Moulin Rouge, I literally isthe show that my boyfriend and I
have said we will never seeagain.

SPEAKER_01 (34:41):
Okay, well, it wasn't it wasn't my favorite.

SPEAKER_03 (34:46):
It is my bestie Megan's favorite show.

My real question is obsessed.

SPEAKER_02 (35:07):

theater.

Like the set design's amazing.
The it's really it's quitebeautiful.
Maybe happy ending.
Maybe happy ending.

SPEAKER_01 (37:04):
Yeah, when I read when we talked about the Tonies
and I read that description, Ireally didn't get all of that
from the description, and thatdoes sound better than I feel as
the you know, few sentence plot.

SPEAKER_02 (37:16):
It's it's gonna be touring.
Oh they announced a tour.
Hell yeah.
You know what?
Hell yeah.
But it did have some controversyrecently.
Why?
Because Darren Chris left andthey were playing.
It's very, mind you, it camefrom South Korea.
Very like it's a show.
Asian Americans, Asian people ingeneral do not have a lot of
representation on Broadway.
Oh, yeah.
Leah Salonga is the only one.

(37:36):
Exactly.
I'm just kidding, she's not.
Uh, but Darren Chris likefamously like originated this,
you know, Asian role, beautifultime.
Um, and a lot of Asian actorswere like, this is the show that
I could actually like be a leadin Broadway.
And then he was replaced withAndrew Bartheldman.
Oh, and I don't know that, butis he white?

(37:56):
He's he's uh the guy from youknow the the movie with Jennifer
Lawrence where she um shewatches she basically like
starts dating this like18-year-old to lose like get him
to lose his virginity.
That's the 18-year-old, AndrewBarth Feldman.
Incredibly talented performer,so good, would be great for 98%

(38:18):
of the roles on Broadway, butlike everyone in the Asian
American community was like,This is our one role, and this
now sets a precedent thatanybody can play it, which you
know is the musical, by the way,takes place in South Korea.
Yeah, like they're South Koreanrobots, I get it, but also it's
like he didn't, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (38:38):
There's other roles for him, they didn't need to do
them.
Yeah, it did not.

SPEAKER_03 (38:41):
Okay, I'm sorry I diverted us to musical theater
hour.
Well, back to Wicked, moremusical theater.

SPEAKER_01 (38:48):
Yeah, Wicked.
You went last night.
What were your thoughts?
Give us some inside scoop.

SPEAKER_02 (38:52):
Um, I love Wicked.
For context, Wicked, um, when Iwas three years old, my mom took
me to a Barnes and Noble and shesaid you can pick anything you
want, and I um picked up.
Oh, yeah, the Wicked soundtrack.
And because that was back whenBarnes and Noble had more music.
They still do, but you couldlike go in and listen button and
listen on the little headphones.

(39:13):
Old.
And um, and I I bought theWicked soundtrack, I listened to
it every single day.
Um, and I feel like this was somany of our stories.
Of course, right?
Like listened to it every singleday, knew every song word for
word, loved it so much.
I sang one short day alone at myfourth grade talent show.

SPEAKER_01 (39:30):
I love that that's the one you showed.
Imagine you're like sentimentalman, is what I'm saying.

SPEAKER_02 (39:36):
Yeah, wonderful.
Yeah.
Uh, and and so I loved Wicked,and I saw it last year, and I
like the second the overtureplayed in the movie, I was like
in hysterics.
Like it was just that kind ofmovie.
Um, and you know, it's funny,like when I think of Wicked, I
really think of Act One.
And that became so clear to mewhen I sat down in the seat to
watch part two.

SPEAKER_03 (39:56):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (39:56):
And I think they did a great job.
Like, they really did.

SPEAKER_03 (39:59):
Do you like the two new songs?
Because I'm stoked.

SPEAKER_02 (40:01):
Have you heard them?

SPEAKER_03 (40:02):
I heard this the clips on the one wonderful
night, the wicked one wonderfulnight.
They played like two clips.
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (40:07):
Sure.
So here's what I'll say aboutthe new music.
The one thing that Wicked ActTwo did not need were two more
ballads.

SPEAKER_03 (40:16):
But you know why.
Why they wanted to get an Oscarnom.

SPEAKER_02 (40:19):
Yeah.
Sure, but I and I think thatthey will, but this is also the
year of K-pop demon hunters.

SPEAKER_03 (40:24):
No, you're right.
But I called this when the firstone came out.
I was like, they're gonna putoriginal music in the second one
and get an Oscar nom.

SPEAKER_02 (40:30):
Of course.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (40:31):
But like one of those songs could have been like
the one that Alpha Bus sings, Ithought it sounded like no, must
have just showed us the endbuildup in the clip.

SPEAKER_02 (40:40):
And that that song, by the way, like you can easily
retool it to be like a funnumber.
Yeah.
Um, and they didn't.
And it was very much so hearseplanted singing.

SPEAKER_03 (40:54):
Wow.

SPEAKER_02 (40:55):
Um, and like, can I can I spoil a little thing?

SPEAKER_03 (40:58):
It's not really like I have a spoiler question I want
to ask.

SPEAKER_02 (41:01):
So sure.
The the other thing is like, youknow how they like originate
everything from the Wizard ofOz, like the whole thing is an
origin.
So Elphaba's song is no placelike home.

SPEAKER_03 (41:10):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (41:11):
And and the context of the song, because the movie
will have been out for multipleweeks by the time this airs,
right?
Can I say that?

SPEAKER_00 (41:17):
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (41:18):
Um, is you know, she's singing, trying to
persuade all of the animals notto flee Oz.

SPEAKER_00 (41:23):
Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 (41:23):
And that's the context in which the song is.
Is she's like, You guys, there'sno place like home.
This is our home.
We all need to stay here.
Right.
But this is such an iconic thingof Dorothy tapping her feet
going, There's no place likehome.
So during that song, I keptthinking, How is it gonna get to
Dorothy?
Yeah.
How is this message gonna get toDorothy?

SPEAKER_03 (41:40):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (41:40):
I was like, maybe it'll come through the cowardly
lion, right?
Yeah, never does.
And I was like, What a missedopportunity! Yeah, like they
have this like really coolmoment where like the cowardly
lion could have overheard it,and then maybe maybe that's his
mantra that he says when he getsanxious.
Oh, and then like Dorothy,right?
And like maybe that's how thatcomes to be, and they just never

(42:03):
do anything with it.
I'm like, you got 80% of the waythere.

SPEAKER_01 (42:06):
They're in it, right?
Dorothy, the Dorothy, Scarecrow,Caroline Iron, they're all well,
you know the story.
No, they're in, but they're inthe movie.

SPEAKER_02 (42:15):
Very much so, very much so, like in the musical.
Okay.
Except, except you do see moreof the Tin Man.
Oh, because of who it is.
Because, yeah.
Like the origin, the originplays out in a really, really,
really cool way.

SPEAKER_03 (42:29):
For all of them.
Uh I guess Tin Man andScarecrow, like in a cool way.

SPEAKER_02 (42:33):
There were a couple of directing choice, like, for
example, like during No GoodDeed, you see the the Fiero
getting his shit rocked, right?
Yeah, don't say it.
But it's it, it the way thatit's shot feels very student
film.

SPEAKER_03 (42:51):
Really?

SPEAKER_02 (42:52):
In a weird, in a way that just took me out a little
bit.
And like, maybe I'm in theminority there.
Maybe you guys won't feel thatway.
But it was like they put afilter on it, and it's just like
feel it doesn't feel epic.
It feels like like it was verymuch so shot like this, and like
they just didn't have theydidn't have people they wanted
to pay, so they just like hadextras come in, and it was just
like it was shot a littlebizarre.

(43:13):
However, the rest of No GoodDeed was a masterpiece.
Okay.

SPEAKER_01 (43:17):
So you think part one was better, it seems.

SPEAKER_02 (43:20):
I think part one is wicked.

SPEAKER_01 (43:22):
Oh so I am in of the camp that I didn't think there
needed to be two movies.
I think that it took way toolong to get to the point in the
first movie.
I love it, I think it'sbeautiful and like I had a great
time watching it, but becauseI've seen the stage play so many
times, and it's like we get thewhole story in two hours versus

(43:43):
only act one in two hours.
More than that.
I don't, it's like almost three,right?

SPEAKER_00 (43:48):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (43:49):
I was just like, I would have rather had it be the
cadence, but I understand.
Is the second one just as long?

SPEAKER_02 (43:55):
It's like two hours and fifteen.
Okay.
Maybe I don't know.
It's a good question.
That's what it was.
It was no, it's like two and ahalf.

SPEAKER_03 (44:02):
I thought it was three, and that's why it was so
like what?

SPEAKER_02 (44:04):
It's like two and a half.
It it's the fur because Iremember them saying the the
first movie is the length of themusical, which is two and a half
hours.

SPEAKER_01 (44:11):
Okay, it just was like, I feel like we can we can
speed it up a little.

SPEAKER_02 (44:16):
They added some cool stuff.
Like they they did like a lot ofthe like the it's really funny.
Wicked part two is very much sotakedown fascism, the movie.
Um and I feel like they theyfleshed out the arcs more, like
Glinda's arc in part two is veryclear.

SPEAKER_03 (44:32):
Whereas I do that's nice, they do speed it so fast
in musical.

SPEAKER_01 (44:35):
Yeah, I get that.

SPEAKER_02 (44:36):
Because I think they're I think she's gonna win
the Oscar.
Like, I really do.
They're gonna push for Ari towin the Oscar this year.
And I could see it happening.

SPEAKER_03 (44:43):
I have a spoiler question I want to ask if you're
open to hearing.
Yeah, just who plays Dorothy.
Like, if it's known, I don'tknow yet.
And I'm so curious if it'ssomeone we know.

SPEAKER_02 (44:53):
They've actually said this in in the press run.
They don't show Dorothy's face.

SPEAKER_03 (44:56):
They never do, they never show Dorothy's face.
So they left it ambiguous onpurpose.

SPEAKER_01 (45:00):
In my mind, I thought I thought that she was
gonna be such a much bigger partthan what we thought.
So that's it.

SPEAKER_03 (45:05):
I thought it was gonna be Doug Cameron for sure.

SPEAKER_02 (45:07):
That's crazy.
Really?
I I thought it was gonna be um,I was really buying into the
theory that it was gonna be thegirl who played Abigail.
Matilda.
Yeah, and Matilda, same girl,Alicia Ware.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Um, I was really buying intothat theory.
And it could have been.
I like it's definitely she's inthe credits for sure.
But there's it's funny, duringMarch of the Witch Hunters.

SPEAKER_03 (45:23):
She's in the credits?

SPEAKER_02 (45:24):
I'm su I didn't stay for the credits.
Oh, because it's her bodyplaying her?
Somebody, like, there is a body.

SPEAKER_03 (45:30):
But just never show the face.

SPEAKER_02 (45:31):
Never show the face.
But there's even a moment inMarch of the Witch Hunters where
you see the four of themstanding there, but there's a
guy standing so that it's justcovering her face.
Like they do really make itclear that they're not gonna
show Dorothy's face.
I kind of wish I was lookingforward to that.
What kills me though is it'slike I think if anything, them
showing more of Dorothy andhumanizing Dorothy, like the

(45:55):
movie makes it explicitly clearthat Oh, they don't want you to
think about Dorothy, do they?
No, because here's the problem,and and here's what you get,
right?
The movie becomes explicitlyclear that Dorothy is a pawn.

SPEAKER_00 (46:06):
Got it.

SPEAKER_02 (46:06):
Right?
And so technically you're likemanipulating this, like what
12-year-old girl?
Yeah, 13-year-old girl.
And so if you give herpersonalization, it becomes sad
because she's manipulated andshe thinks she's a hero, and the
whole time she's just really apawn in the wizard's games.
Okay, okay.
So that makes sense.

(46:27):
Even up to the end when you knowthe the whole thing plays out
with we all know the ending ofThe Wizard of Oz.
When that happens in themusical, it's like she comes in,
she like barrels into the tower,she's like, I did it.
And that's not like you know,you're the audience member
watching through Glinda's POV,right?
Yep.
And um, and it's you know, it'scrazy.

SPEAKER_01 (46:50):
Were you at a screening where there were
celebs?

SPEAKER_02 (46:54):
No.

SPEAKER_01 (46:54):
Okay, I was gonna say, do you have any celeb
sightings that you no not forWicked?
Okay.
Well, I don't know when I'mgonna see it, probably after
Thanksgiving.

SPEAKER_03 (47:03):
Me too.

SPEAKER_01 (47:04):
Well, can we go together?

SPEAKER_03 (47:05):
Yeah, but I don't want to go to that same hot
theater we went to last year.

SPEAKER_01 (47:08):
No, we're not gonna go there.

SPEAKER_03 (47:09):
I was so hot.

SPEAKER_01 (47:09):
And Josh won't go, so we can I have thoughts about
that.

SPEAKER_03 (47:13):
I really thought in a year he'd change his mind.

SPEAKER_01 (47:14):
No, but he saw the musical and he thought the
musical was better, and he wasjust like, I'm good.

SPEAKER_02 (47:18):
What made me laugh is I I showed it to a friend of
mine named Teddy.
Teddy didn't know anything aboutthe musical, and it was really
funny because he was gettinglike frustrated watching it.
He was like, It can't, thiscan't be it.
And I was like, I was like,Teddy, you have to keep in mind,
right?
This is part one, part two.
So you have a typical three-actstructure, but in this case,

(47:38):
you're watching, like, we'rehalfway through wicked part one,
and I was like, we're not evenin the second act of the musical
yet.

SPEAKER_00 (47:47):
Right.

SPEAKER_02 (47:47):
Yeah, this is all still set up, and we're at like
one short day.

SPEAKER_00 (47:51):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (47:52):
And I'm like, this is now when you're pivoting into
act two of the three-actstructure.
But because it's a move, this islike what I think was the
biggest hindrance in in theslowness of the whole thing.
And I liked, I liked having, youknow, two parts.
I thought it eventized, I reallyenjoyed it.
But I do get your criticisms aswell in that it does drag some

(48:13):
things out.
Um, and I I do think that youfeel that when you're not as
familiar with the story.
Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (48:19):
I think that's like Josh had didn't know anything
going into it.
So he was a a little bit like,what, what?
Yeah, what's going on?
Yeah.
But yeah.
Okay.
Well, I'm excited to see it.
So we'll try to think of it.
We'll let you we'll text you ourplease.

SPEAKER_02 (48:35):
I I really I'm trying to think if there's
anything else that I want tolike throw in there.
I think there's just some like,I don't know, it's cool.
John M.
Chu knows how to throw awedding.
That's all I'm gonna say.

SPEAKER_03 (48:45):
Oh, yeah, he did a Crazy Rich Asians, right?

SPEAKER_01 (48:47):
Crazy Rich Asians wedding, and now that wedding
was wild.
Did he do that one movie?
Um with the like four hello,with the that the four girls and
they go to Korea.
Oh no, he didn't know.
No, you know what I'm talkingabout.

SPEAKER_03 (49:03):
Joyride, joyride ride.

SPEAKER_02 (49:05):
I love joy rides.

SPEAKER_03 (49:06):
I cannot wait to see what he does with a Britney
Spears biopic.

SPEAKER_02 (49:09):
Is he doing the Britney Spears biopic?
Yes.
Wow.

SPEAKER_03 (49:11):
It's gonna be amazing.

SPEAKER_02 (49:12):
As long as she has some sort of say, I'm so tired
of these women getting theirstories spoken for, especially
from American.

SPEAKER_03 (49:18):
Well, they're basing it off her book.
He's basing it off, it's like abook.

SPEAKER_02 (49:21):
Okay, then good.
Then I hope that she does haveher memoir.

SPEAKER_03 (49:26):
And who did we see that we talked about this?
Oh, Addison Ray is like theearly rumors.
There's no way.
I know it can't be.
There's no way I'd rather it beTate, but Tate for the Did she
act?
I can't imagine because she's sobad at it.

SPEAKER_02 (49:38):
You guys, they're gonna find somebody good.
They're gonna find like howJulia Garner is Madonna.

SPEAKER_01 (49:43):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (49:43):
Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 (49:47):
I don't care.

SPEAKER_03 (49:48):
Maybe it's a no one as they're good.
Find a no one that has to look.

SPEAKER_02 (49:51):
Michael.
Look at Michael's biopic.
Like that's his nephew, and he'sa no one in the entertainment
community, and look at howamazing he's doing.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 (49:59):
Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 (49:59):
Like, holy shit.

SPEAKER_01 (50:00):
Well, speaking of icons, who are your like
celebrity icons?
It could be your pop girls, youryour favorite actresses.
Who are your like?

SPEAKER_02 (50:12):
I do love Ariana Grande.
That's the perfect segue fromWicked.
I love Ariana Grande.
I think she's amazing.
By the way, she did an interviewtoday saying that like the
Eternal Sunshine tore is herlast her off.

SPEAKER_03 (50:22):
I heard that.
It was on the Amy Polar, AmyPolar show.

SPEAKER_01 (50:25):
Because she wants to act or she's just like.

SPEAKER_03 (50:26):
She said I'm never gonna sing never, but probably
for a long, long time.

SPEAKER_02 (50:29):
I mean, we all forget that she had a terrorist
attack at her concert.

SPEAKER_01 (50:34):
And she just got attacked again, so she's like,
I'm done.
I'm done.

SPEAKER_02 (50:37):
Yeah, that's rough.

SPEAKER_01 (50:38):
Yeah, if I were her, like she's just made a crap ton
of money on these movies.
She will have the tour.
I would just like check out.

SPEAKER_03 (50:45):
She also kind of go on the record and say that she
wants to do just more straightacting stuff.

SPEAKER_02 (50:49):
And she is.

SPEAKER_03 (50:49):
And she is Falker in Law, American Horror Story and
more.

SPEAKER_01 (50:55):
I don't yeah, I don't think it meant she's like
gonna go into hiding.
She's just like music will be onthe side.

SPEAKER_02 (50:59):
She's with music.
It was just touring.
She'll keep making music.
I I don't think she'll tour.
No.

SPEAKER_01 (51:04):
I don't think it's a bad thing though, because it
will create demand.

SPEAKER_02 (51:08):
Yeah, but this tour sold out in 10 seconds.
It's not like there's notdemand.
That's the problem.
I I wish she would have playedSoFi.
I was so mad about it.
Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 (51:17):
It's because there is a sports thing happening.

SPEAKER_03 (54:29):
Because then in that case, that person was probably
like, I'm going to this, but ifsomeone wants to give me two or
three thousand dollars, I can bebought, and mine would be lower
than that.

SPEAKER_01 (54:37):
Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 (54:38):
That's true.

SPEAKER_01 (54:38):
It kills me.

SPEAKER_03 (54:39):
Funny.
Okay, so she's a little beforeyour time.

SPEAKER_02 (54:41):
That's fair.

SPEAKER_01 (54:42):
Actresses.

SPEAKER_02 (54:43):
By the way, I will just let you guys know.
I want to see Ariana Grande sobadly in LA, like unbearably
badly, as by the way, doeseverybody.
But like I'm literally inconversations with the venue to
buy a suite.

SPEAKER_03 (54:57):
He is.

SPEAKER_02 (54:58):
For several, several thousands of dollars.

SPEAKER_03 (55:01):
But with the intention of getting everyone to
get a bunch of people.

SPEAKER_02 (55:03):
Yeah, like I'm like, let's 15 of us go into the suite
and pay$1,500 apiece, which isnot that much money in the grand
scheme of things.

SPEAKER_03 (55:10):
If you can$15 people,$1,500.

SPEAKER_01 (55:13):
It's so cheap.
When this is like a thing that Idon't scourge on.

SPEAKER_03 (55:17):
Okay, we're talking about it.

SPEAKER_02 (55:18):
$1,500, I can go to Europe.
Well, and that was so I hadtickets to go see Taylor Swift's
Eros Tour.
But my my seats were like sidestage.
Like they were very and I kindof obstructed.
So kind of obstructed.
So I listed them on Seeky for$2,000 a piece, and somebody
bought them.
So I because my thought process,right, is I was like, How much

(55:41):
did you get them for?
Uh 200?

SPEAKER_03 (55:45):
Wow.

SPEAKER_02 (55:46):
And like my thought process was like, you know what?
I love Taylor Swift.
Lover.
$4,000 bought me a summer inEurope.
I went to Europe for two months.
I went to seven countries andhad an experience.
Taylor Swift bought me anexperience that I will never be
able to get again.
It's a fun way to look at it.

SPEAKER_03 (56:05):
However, I did spend $2,000.
And especially you bought myturns.
Did I buy your tourists?
And now I'm immortalized in theAeros Tour movies.

SPEAKER_02 (56:13):
And you know what?

SPEAKER_03 (56:14):
I maybe the documentary.

SPEAKER_02 (56:15):
Amazing.

SPEAKER_03 (56:16):
There's six episodes coming out, and they filmed so
much of me and Megan.

SPEAKER_01 (56:19):
I hope it's you.

SPEAKER_02 (56:21):
That would be amazing.
Reaction on the pod.
But I will say, I saw the AerosTour movie twice in theaters.
I felt like I was there.
I felt like I I felt like I wasat one of those so-fi shows.

SPEAKER_01 (56:32):
I'm glad that you're made this experience work for
you.
To pay that much for a concertticket.
I tried to get the colour.
I don't think I could pay morethan I mean.
Again, I guess like maybeBritney Spears.

SPEAKER_02 (56:46):
Sure.
Would you pay$1,500 to seeMichael Jackson?
Like if Michael Jackson came tothe city.
If he came back to life.
Well, if he was just alive andhe was like, Like alive for his
era's tour, would you pay$1,500to see Michael Jackson?

SPEAKER_01 (56:58):
If it was the best seat in the house.
Oh, well, it's not gonna be.
It would be like$200.

SPEAKER_02 (57:06):
Maybe like$100 level, like if the stage is
here, like 100 level, like righthere.

SPEAKER_01 (57:12):
I don't think I it's tough.
What about the maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe.
But that's tough.

SPEAKER_03 (57:18):
I would never, I wouldn't even pay$10 for the
biggest.

SPEAKER_01 (57:20):
But like realistically, people that are
alive, I don't think even likeBTS or Britney Spears, I don't
think I'd pay more than$400.

SPEAKER_02 (57:27):
I completely agree.
Honestly.
That like I completely agree.
There are a couple of people.
Yeah.
There are a couple of people,but really it's like Ariana
Grande.
Like that is like my one.
Because she is saying she's notgonna tour again.
You don't say that when yourtour is fully still.

SPEAKER_03 (57:46):
Yeah, because even Hilary Duff was like, okay, I I
promise this isn't the thesearen't the only shows.

SPEAKER_01 (57:50):
Like she came out and said, She was just being
modest to make sure that shedidn't look dumb.

SPEAKER_03 (57:55):
Yeah, 2000 seat venues, Hillary Duff.
Of course you're selling themout.

SPEAKER_02 (57:58):
Yeah.
Um but also sometimes they dothings like that in order to
gauge interest in bigger.
And that's what she's saying.

SPEAKER_03 (58:04):
That's probably what she was doing.

SPEAKER_02 (58:05):
That's what Demi did.
The palladium show sold out soquick, and now look at her arena
tour.
Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_01 (58:10):
I also think like maybe it's just my the age I've
gotten to, but I also think Iwas like this probably five
years ago too.
That I it's such a to-do to goto a concert.
It's like I have to like getdressed and I want to look cute,
and then I have to drive an houraway, and the parking is
terrible, and the traffic isterrible, and I'm just like,

(58:31):
Yeah, I am exhausted, and thenI'm so tired by the time it's
over, and then it's another hourto even get out of the parking
lot, and then another hour drivehome.
I sound like a very old lady,but so go ahead, Alex.

SPEAKER_03 (58:46):
I was just gonna say, I would I agree with both
of with both of you mostly,except there is like boyfriend
and I have talked, and we wouldspend an obscene amount of money
to see Celine if she ever wasable to perform again.

SPEAKER_02 (59:00):
Yeah, that's right.
Go see Titanic.

SPEAKER_03 (59:02):
I do want to see that.

SPEAKER_02 (59:03):
Yeah, so I um I completely agree with you.
It is a total to-do.
What kills me in LA is theparking concert.
Yeah, of course.
I went to go see Avor Levine atthe Kia Forum.
Um, great show.
I had floor seats, they werelike not the best floor seats,
but good floor seats, right?
Paid like maybe$130,$140 aticket, which is fair, right?

(59:27):
For like a concert like that,you know, especially in this
economy.
I get to the venue, did notpre-pay for parking.
That's tough.
You have to do that.
Learned the hard way.
I get there and they're like,I'm gonna get canceled for
saying this.
I get there and they're like,parking is gonna be$40.
And I went, paid.

(59:48):
He goes, Oh no, no, no, it'ssold out.
I went, okay.
And so he goes, Yeah, you'rejust gonna have to exit.
And I was like, Okay.
And so I drive forward, and andI was like, where do I park?
And he goes, You're gonna haveto park at SoFi Stadium.
Parking's a hundred dollars.
At SoFi?
I went a hundred dollars.
Literally across the street.

SPEAKER_01 (01:00:08):
Hey.

unknown (01:00:09):
Stanley Park.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:10):
I was like, across the street, a hundred dollars.
You got me fucked all thefucking way out.
Did you just find a parkingspot?
Well, so I drove forward and theguy's like ushering people, and
um I just parked.

SPEAKER_01 (01:00:25):
I love that.
Actually, I just parked amazing.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:27):
I love that because the it's highway robbery, so it
is.
And and my sister-in-law waslike, Well, what about if
somebody doesn't park?
I was like, they paid forparking, they're gonna get a
parking spot.
Like they're not just not gonnapark then.

SPEAKER_03 (01:00:37):
What are they gonna do?
Like, they didn't put a stickeron any of the cars, right?

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:40):
So they were like, they didn't put a sticker on any
cars, exactly.
Yeah, and that was my logic.
I was like, I parked.
And my sister-in-law was like,our car's gonna get towed.
What are we gonna do?

SPEAKER_01 (01:00:49):
That is actually me.
I am a rule follower and I wouldhave been stressed about it.

SPEAKER_02 (01:00:52):
But I have I have like an alert if my car gets
broken into, like, I'll get anotification, I'll leave the
venue.
Yeah, exactly.
I'm like, it it is what it is.
I want honestly, if it getstowed, I don't know, it's a
gamble, I'm willing to do it.
Yeah, you were talking aboutthat when you're like, well
hundred dollars, four hundreddollars, the walk across the
street, don't fucking sayanything.

(01:01:14):
Um I just I'm like, you know,I'm into it.
