No, no, oh no, I love that.

Speaker 7 (01:06):
I'm talking.

Speaker 8 (01:07):
This is a long time ago. This is probably twenty
two years ago. Some girl dragged me to go see
La Bom and I'm like, what is this? It was
all in.

Speaker 9 (01:16):
French or something, wasn't it. I don't know. I fell asleep.

Speaker 8 (01:19):
I fell asleep and I got elbowed, and I'm like,
oh my god, it was terrible.

Speaker 10 (01:26):
I went to see The Phantom of the Opera with
my ex boyfriend and halfway through he was.

Speaker 7 (01:29):
Like, please, God, please you can stay. Can I leave?

Speaker 9 (01:33):
Really? Really?

Speaker 10 (01:33):
I was like, dude, let's just go because I don't
want to torture you.

Speaker 7 (01:37):
I know, I was so irritated.

Speaker 9 (01:39):
See for me, I would have been like, this is
a deal breaker.

Speaker 7 (01:42):
We're not together anymore.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
How'd that work out?

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Guys?

Speaker 11 (01:45):
I love Broadway, You, guys, I love any chance I get.
I'm like, oh my god, something to do on a Wednesday,
Thursday night whatever. And but I will say this, the
seat's way too small. I feel like those are from
like the last century, smaller people were smaller than so
the seats are freaking tight and they're close. You you

(02:07):
think that you're packed into a stadium. If you haven't
been to a Broadway show, you don't know what it's
like to sit next to somebody. You are on top
of them. But anyway, aside from that experience Broadway all day, you.

Speaker 9 (02:19):
Don't make it seem like. I mean, it's a wonderful experience.
He's like, you gotta be like a sardine can.

Speaker 10 (02:26):
That was one of my favorite things moving to New York.
I was like, oh my god, it's just right around
the corner. All these things, all the time, amazing.

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Things you heard about.

Speaker 6 (02:35):
I will say, though, we have all seen a show that.

Speaker 7 (02:40):
Oh boy, yes, I think we saw one together.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah, that show.

Speaker 7 (02:47):
I don't think we can name it there too, I
know the one.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
You're talking if you say the name three times, no, no, no,
let's move on.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
It doesn't matter.

Speaker 7 (02:58):
Move on, all right, all right, you. I don't think
we're all talking about the same thing.

Speaker 9 (03:01):
There's went down on one show. I walked down.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
During the halftime half time. That's a lot for you, Daniel.

Speaker 9 (03:09):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yes.

Speaker 12 (03:09):
So John Stamos was in nine and his wife at
the time was Rebecca Remain.

Speaker 9 (03:14):
She sat either back of us from in front of us,
I think in front of us.

Speaker 12 (03:17):
And we watched it and I'm sitting there with Sheldon
and and I'm thinking to myself, gosh, I hope he's
I mean, he's got to not be liking this, mic,
I mean, this is awful. And he turns to me
and he goes, oh, I said, please tell me. He goes,
it's awful. I go, thank gosh, and we got up
an intermission and never came back.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
So you were talking about John Stamos on stage first,
I was like, oh, he hates being up there.

Speaker 9 (03:39):
Well the whole thing. He was in it, but the
show was just so boring.

Speaker 12 (03:43):
This is to not like it because they put so
much effort into it and it was amazing, but it was.

Speaker 5 (03:48):
Just not good.

Speaker 11 (03:49):
You're in town.

Speaker 10 (03:50):
Andrew and his mom walked out one really have him
tell you? And it's one I think that all of
us like, yeah, you.

Speaker 7 (03:59):
Guys not remember you were intel Dear Evan Hanson.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
I loved it.

Speaker 7 (04:06):
And his mother walked out of it. It's so fun.

Speaker 8 (04:10):
I like fun shows. I mean, I know that wasn't
really fun, but I like shows that are like fun
and like energetic. I don't want I don't want like
full on musicals that are like opera crap.

Speaker 11 (04:20):
I fell asleep during Chicago. Yeah, I fell asleep.

Speaker 4 (04:25):
Ye.

Speaker 11 (04:25):
I don't know how I did.

Speaker 9 (04:26):
But my first date with Sheldon Chicago just.

Speaker 11 (04:32):
Turned that mic up, but not on It's.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
It's on the last one.

Speaker 8 (04:38):
Learn about radio andy.

Speaker 7 (04:39):
Okay, okay, are you getting him Scotty? If he talks
is picking him up?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
He hasn't talked yet.

Speaker 9 (04:45):
Hello.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Can you hear me now?

Speaker 9 (04:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Yeah, great? Okay.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Somebody asked him the.

Speaker 10 (04:49):
Question, okay, what is the musical that you walked out.

Speaker 7 (04:53):
On with your mother? And why?

Speaker 5 (04:55):
Uh? Dear Evan Hanson, and I think it is a
joke of a musical.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
It's closed.

Speaker 5 (05:01):
Thank the Lord, Hollylujah, praise Jesus, because that is the
most overrated piece of crap.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Music I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 9 (05:09):
That was great.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
I don't find it to be.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
The message in it is that if you're a sociopath
or a psychopath, guess what, it's all okay because you
did it for a good cause.

Speaker 8 (05:22):
It's just a show, bro.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
It's terrible the message, and it is awful.

Speaker 5 (05:26):
I thought it was going to be about something completely different.
The kid has a cast on it. I'm like, oh
my god, you feel so bad for this loser, and like,
what's going on? And then sorry spoilers, but when the
kid commits suicide and then Evan Hansen decides to start
a quote unquote foundation and run with the lie that
he was best friends.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
That is terrible. That's a psychopathy.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
If you actually do boil it down, it's like, Wow,
this kid is fucked up.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Extremely fucked up. And the music I just couldn't like.

Speaker 7 (05:58):
I love the music. The music was great.

Speaker 10 (06:00):
The next day and he was like, this was the
worst thing I've ever Me and Mom and Donna bounced intermission.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
I will never go back to something like that. What's
wrong with all of you?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Like that one? At intermission? My mom and I both
sat there and.

Speaker 5 (06:15):
We were like, okay, So like, if he doesn't die
in the second act, like this is a wash right, Like.

Speaker 10 (06:21):
He wasn't a Broadway musical, it would maybe be an
episode of Dateline.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
It's terrible with the girl nine eleven, yes.

Speaker 9 (06:34):
Like, did you the whole thing? Did you leave?

Speaker 5 (06:37):
We stayed? Actually we laughed through the whole second act.
People were like hysterically crying in front of us. We
thought something was wrong with us.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
I cried, but well, okay, cool.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
I just I just don't get it, Like, I just
don't get it. I don't think it has a good message.
The music is corny as hell. The guy he's like,
you just play baseball with me.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
It's like I did see it with Ben Platte, right, yep.
I saw him in it, and I thought he was excellent.
I thought he was spitting everywhere three rows and the.

Speaker 12 (07:13):
Guy from Stranger Things took over one of the roles
at one point.

Speaker 4 (07:16):
Right, yeah, you know, because I saw it and I
thought his performance was great and whatever. You know, you
think a little bit about the story, and then when
I got home, I start thinking about the story again
and putting it in terms of like real life as
opposed to being on stage.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You're like, wait, what the fuck did this kid just do? Exactly?

Speaker 5 (07:34):
It's it's crazy. There is not a good like I
I really thought that there was going to be a
message in there.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
But can you sing the songs from the show?

Speaker 2 (07:43):
What was it? Star is the Oh my god? But
did you did you cry at all?

Speaker 12 (07:51):
Because if Elvis was on this podcast, he would be because
I think he absolutely loved.

Speaker 9 (07:59):
That show when it first came out. Remember he was
he was, he loved it.

Speaker 5 (08:04):
I don't think there's a good message in there. The
message is not what they thought it was, Elvis, Elvis.

Speaker 7 (08:11):
Rent was about squatters.

Speaker 9 (08:12):
Oh my god, Rent is my all time favorite Broadway
show ever.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
And what do you feel about Rent? I saw Rent.
I actually liked that one. That was fun. That's nice.

Speaker 12 (08:22):
I think I saw ten fifteen times. Used to be
able to because I don't know if you still can
you still go down to the to the shows and
like wait, I know you go to that ticket booth,
but I know, Rent, you used to be able to
get like the front row or something. They released seats
at a certain time really cheap and you or you
could stand in the back and they were really cheap.

Speaker 9 (08:42):
Something like that.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
There are some shows too where you can help stuff
the playbills too, and they'll give you standing room only seats.

Speaker 7 (08:50):
I could, but don't go to Dearvin Hanson, I want
to answer.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I have one quick question, Scottie.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Your kids, yes, God forbid, something happened where one of
their friends did something. If all of a sudden you
found out that they were like, oh, yeah, my best
friend Charlie. We were best friends, like we were the
best of friends, and then you found out that your
child was lying the entire time about having this best friend.

Speaker 2 (09:13):
It was a fictional show, but people like that exist.
That's what I'm trying to say. Psychopath, that's a socio
path right there.

Speaker 9 (09:20):
Yeah, so what, here's a show you take every movie
you see to heart or everything.

Speaker 7 (09:27):
About Jurassic Park. The last one, he rails about how
there would never be a dinosaurs.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Why are their locusts? Why do I care about that?
I want to see a giant t rex eat somebody.
I don't care about a plague locust.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
It's dumb.

Speaker 7 (09:41):
We need and.

Speaker 10 (09:43):
According to Andrew Andrew Rages, I'm telling you you all
think he's so nice.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
This guy's crazy the crazy thing.

Speaker 6 (09:48):
Okay, Dear Evan Hanson, you take the concept there is
stranger shit happening in our everyday world. Like just imagine
if the Gypsy Rose Story becomes a musical.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
I'm being worked on, probably being worked on, like there's
some strange shit out there.

Speaker 7 (10:06):
Case of Natalia Grace. I don't know if you guys
are following along with that one.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
WHOA, what's that one?

Speaker 11 (10:10):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (10:11):
That's a good one. The second part's not as good,
but yeah.

Speaker 10 (10:13):
It's about a little girl who is she's adopted right
by a family and then they basically just move her
into an apartment all by herself. But at the time
that they did it, she was like eleven or twelve
is not your life. I'm not sure how, but yeah,
she was really little and they just leave her on
her own. But she also has a bunch of physical issues.

(10:37):
She couldn't even like reach countertops and get to the
door and do anything. They just kind of put her
in this apartment and they left her there. And their
whole argument was, well, she's twenty something years old.

Speaker 7 (10:46):
Yeah, she's an adult. She's fine, it's okay. Turns out
she really was like eleven years old. Yeah, and this
family just went and moved her.

Speaker 10 (10:52):
To an apartment, left her there, and a neighbor found
her because she somehow got out and went down and
was like, you got any food?

Speaker 7 (10:58):
Yeah, it's crazy.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
It's a crazy to a Broadway stage, the battles of
off off Broadway.

Speaker 11 (11:04):
I just don't want to see a show where I
find myself rooting for the villain because I don't feel
like ship about myself, you know, like when you when
you it, there's a lot of things like, for instance,
like like well.

Speaker 9 (11:17):
Or rooting for a bad cause.

Speaker 11 (11:19):
Like it doesn't sound like the message in Dear Evan
Hanson was very good to me.

Speaker 2 (11:23):
Apparently, It's like.

Speaker 11 (11:28):
I don't know, I'm just That's just me though.

Speaker 12 (11:31):
By the way, if you want all things Broadway, the
iHeart Radio Broadway app is where to go.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Well there's an ass for every seat or maybe not accord.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
So thank you Andrew for joining us today. No problem.

Speaker 9 (11:45):
Actually, isn't it. Isn't it on the I Heart Radio

search Broadway.

Speaker 9 (11:53):
IHeart Broadway, I Heart Radio App Search.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Can I say one more thing? The movie is even
worse than the musical because I torture.

Speaker 2 (12:02):
Myself and I love to hate watch things stupid. And
let me tell you.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Something, the fact that Ben Platt thought he was going
to win an oscar for that role. Chefs guessed that
he won Razzie and I loved it.

Speaker 7 (12:11):
How old was he? Because Dear Van Hanson is about
a high schooler.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
I know he was thirty two at the time.

Speaker 7 (12:15):
Yeah you say that.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
Much, but yeah, let's wrap it up.
