be cheating with.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, you're using a new website.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yes, guys, this is massive a rare occasion, but I
do have to do it because I couldn't remember how
to make random word generator do that.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh my gosh, that's insane. That's like huge, trust.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I do I do. I listened to some of the
Big hundredth episode and which is.

Aired rightly at this point. Yeah, it's already aired, like
it's already aired since we've oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yea yeah yeah, because it was like, yes, sonyway, I
was listening to that and the whole phrase thing. We
have to do that more.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah, I have to do the phrase.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I like the phrase one one was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That was my favorite bit.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
People really people really like the hundredth episode, really like.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Us just bits. It was two hours of that part.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It was just two hours I.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Think with plana Z like there's like always something for
someone because the episode. If you're like I need opportunity,
I need a weird niche deep dive, I need monologue Rex.
That was truly for the banter.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh yeah, but when I hear us, just be like, also,
have you heard that thick cough or if you hear
any other sniffles, just j Bossico hit it. Honestly, again,
I only know two buttons. I know we've had this
for a long time. I can't even because the sun
(04:12):
is so bright in your room, I can't really see
the colors. I just know bottom right is succoon, yes,
and then above that is Liz, and then top left
is what's up?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Everybody? That's right, We're back. It's the Holiday Plato episode.
We're gonna go to a website, smash that button three
times and letter.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, every other button on there. I do not understand
or know what it does.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's like my take contact.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's leaving it. I'm leaving it up to the imagination.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The board is a mystery. We are not here to
solve it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Do you want me to generate some words? Are you
excited for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah? I am excited. You know what, I'm least excited.
I'm saddest about the thing. You know what. The thing
I'm saddest about is tell me justin. I didn't get
to see Elf the musical.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, well they didn't make it easy for you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, I want to be inaccessible. I want to make
a public statement.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
This track hit it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And here's yeah tell us, Yeah, yeah, tell us. I
just want to say that the Marquee Theater frustrates me
so much. I'm putting them on blast. I tried so hard.
I posted about Elf the Musical like six times for
free on my Instagram. I kept on doing it. I
don't even want comps. I wanted to be able to
(05:36):
rush it. I couldn't rush it. No. I walked in
to that theater to get tickets the other day and
I know from hearing around that they haven't like sold
out a show, like they have tickets. Yeah. I was like, Hey,
do you guys have any rush tickets? And the lady
was like, the cheapest I can get you in is
one forty five.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Nope, can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And I was like, what about the back of the orchestra.
I'll even take like partial view. I just really want
to be in the environ.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I let someone sit on me.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I was like, I was like, I'll share a seat.
Do you have a shared seat program. I'll do bottom
bunk and do you have a bottom yeah? Do you
have a BBP bottom bunk program? Yeah? Back in the med.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They create that because you know, have the two levels,
but the gaps, I just stack them.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's the only way they can, the only way they
can they can. They can say as you say, the
only way that our interns stay warm and are allowed
to see the shows they work on. It's by the
b m BBP are.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Actually they're really hard, they're really uncomfortable, but our interns
they cushion.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That seat the sea so then we don't have to
pay for renovation.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The little hand.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Exactly, we do have a couple of that. They hold
your drinks. Yeah, they ask if you're doing okay.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
They didn't even have that, dude, sounds like but.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I walked into the marketing and I was like, can
I please see Elf the Musical? And she was like
one hundred and forty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And to play in my head, she's holding a gun.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
She's totally your gun at me. She's told its striped
Like I was so mad. And here's the thing. Do
I think Elf the Musical is the greatest musical world? No?
I think that it's the holidays and I want to
see Gray Henson be buddy the Elf. I want to
she Sean asked, and be Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You like a musical and I love Elf the Musical.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I think it's so fun. So I was like, oh,
like this is going to be such a blast. There's
like a day where like I think, like Liz is working,
I knew for a fact you would never want to
see it.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I mean, here's the thing, I would see it. I
just I wouldn't pay money, no exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If i'd comps, but like that's the thing is like
I didn't, so I was like so much.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
To see right now that it's exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So it's kind of like, okay, I'm just gonna go
and get myself a tickere do a little solo day
and go see Elf the musical. And I walked in
and she's like one hundred and forty five dollars and
the plate. She pulls out a gun. She she swept,
she pistol whips me and I go out out ow ow.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I realized the gun she has is Peppermany is
pepper and candy. She was joking.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
No, this isn't by the way, this it's just fancy, dude.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So she says this and wait, yeah, I get it out,
stick it out. So she says this, and I to
play the game. I go, oh, one hundred and forty
five dollars. Oh perfect, let me see what you have
available and she turns her computer around the entire balcony
is available for the show that night at seven. I'm
there at like nine am. The show at seven o'clock.
(08:20):
There's like, I'm not kidding, dude. The availability in the balcony,
there's maybe I think eight seats taken. Wow, eight seats,
that's it taken. And I said, in the cheapest ticket
in there is one forty five. No line at the like, like,
there's nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
No line at your rush.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, there is no rush. There's no line at the
box office at all. So I was like, is there
any like student discount or anything. She goes, if you're
a vet, I can get you a ninety five dollars ticket.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I mean that's I gotta go to go to war.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah. Like so the I was just so, Sally, why
they're doing that? The federal government.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It owns the Marquithie there. Yeah, and there trying to
get where people to enjoyed the art.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Commercials and the guys walking around your high school and
make an eye contact. Weren't enough.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Wait, how funny would it be if the next commercial
is and you get to see off the musical.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The musical will hit you with the gun when you
buy the ticket only you get to keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You get to keep it. You get to keep that ticket.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, Bill, that's been my least favorite holiday thing in
the world is that I've tried. I'm not kidding, no joke.
I've tried to see Off the Musical five times since
it opened. I just don't have I don't want to
spend over one hundred dollars and I can't get to
take it for less than one hundred bucks. I'm sorry,
I'm begging. I'm begging.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Holiday moment. I got to show one of my best
friends the holiday the Nancy Myers maybe had like a
really really good musical plato about I think yeah we did.
Or maybe it was just like a one off prompt.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah I think so.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But my friend hadn't seen it, and so I got
I got to rewatch it with someone who didn't know
what was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
She's the last person on earth that that experience so satisfying.
She's like, wait, why did Jack Black do more of
this fuddy? Anyway, it reminded me of that episode, which
is I think last year. I think we were in
our apartment together.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, we have been experiencing New York a little bit
like holiday have you seen any have been any holiday
we went to?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, Mary talked about that. We saw Omary and it
was amazing. It was very funny.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It was so funny. We were lucked out. We're able
to get tickets we could actually afford.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, thank you before Cole left, because that's been announced
to that their extend. Did you see that they're sending
to June.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh, I didn't see that the extending limited engagement with the.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Gilpin No Gilpin, I think Gilpin or Glopin or something.
But yeah, Betty, and she's playing what's called Mary and
Mary Todd Lincoln, which I'm excited to see that that
role is going to be like played by I think
really like anyone who cold is like this person can
do it. Because also she's so funny, she's great and glow.
She's great in what's that movie Hunt? The Hunt?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, I saw your brain. Yeah, I saw what you meant.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh, you also know I love the kind of movies that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, that's she's like a.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
She's so funny.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't know, she has like a like a really
good face, like she's like very very stunning and gorgeous,
but she can look really scary and really yeah, like
it's a very fascinating person. Oh yeah, that show was
so funny. I belly laughed so hard. It was the
type of show. And I will say that that theater
has a really wretched bathroom situation.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Which is what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Is awful, very inaccessible. It's really difficult. I like knew
I needed to pee before this performance that I literally
didn't piss my pants, laughing. Yeah, very relieved that I did.
You did so satisfying. I tried to, like know it's
a little about the show as possible, but couldn't help
get some content about it like funneled to me.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I was happy I tried. I tried so hard
to read it before. Because I can also announce this
dramas has brought my licensing. We own it, which is awesome.
There go pre order it right now on our website
unless by this point. I don't think by this point
it'll be up. I think it's not gonna be out
till like January, February March, because Cole's still like playing
(11:57):
with three writes. I have a feeling when Cole leaves,
he's going to like take the script and be like
this is the final kind of cut of it, and
give like a locked version to Betty and then like
that'll be the version we have, Yeah, because I do
think there's a lot of playing up there still. I
think it's like a really locked script. But I think
like Cole is so funny and it's really a star
(12:19):
vehicle for Cole. I'm sure he's been discovering stuff throughout
the Broadway run that he has been like playing and
tinkering with a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I really want to now that
I have seen it, I want to like go back
into like all of the interviews and deep content or
kind of content deep dives that they did with it,
because like it's the first show I've seen in such
a long time where it really felt like whatever their
process was, there was so much room for play and
they kept the play.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh yeah, that's absolutely tiny.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Bits that were thrown in where I was like, that
feels like just an amazing ordained actor choice. That's what
I was like, that's actually so good.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Keep it. And with so many shows announcing closing like
so soon, which is so sad, it's been.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
A crazy way of event and I think there's going
to be more to come, so I'm definitely trying to
get through my list.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
The fact that this show announced that they're staying open
till June is awesome, so make sure if you come to.
And also I think that I don't know, they're going
to keep stunt casting Mary, which I think is great.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think that like when this goes to licensing, because
I've been like, you know what, what's the equivalent of
doing something like that? Like in other regions. I think
it should be like whoever you're like most notorious hilarious,
like local drag queen.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Is Yeah, should be like but then also like just
straight up a like female actor like who is very
funny is also is about to take over Cole. So
I think like they're really opening up the role to
I don't know anybody, nobody, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I also think I remember when we saw Parker Posey
as Oh in The Seagull. I'm blinking on her name,
Dina Arena Arcadeena her in that role gave Mary Todd Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh yeah, Parker would be a great.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh yeah, it's such a beauty. It's such a beautiful
role because like you're thinking about like how Cold did it?
And then it could just be embodied by so many
people it seems impossible.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But I want, I want to see. I hope that
like the final like two months of the run, they
have like a crazy massive celebrity that's so different from
the last come in for like a week. Like I
want to see like Aubrey Plaza to see.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Lady Gaga do it, and then Aubrey Plaza the next night,
and then.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, I want to see like Alaska Thunder jingle Bell.
I want to see like I want to see like
one of the Boulet brothers do it, just really dark
and like Deadpan in Drag. I want to go. I
want to see like Martin Short do it. I want
to see like the weirdest possible choices that you could
imagine and then just like go for it because I
think that's very fun. I think that's the point of
(14:54):
the show. I think it's just in the grand scheme
of things. It's just a very very funny political farce
that I think is like so smart while being so stupid.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's so good honestly, Like it's one of those two
where you know it's such a good like I don't
know what word I want to use, like holistic production,
where like the things that I like look back on
and like I can literally feel smile break out of
my face, like they were like cool's delivery. Yeah, like
what they did with that. Like there's just certain lines
I think about and they like make me laugh, and
(15:28):
it's really really hard to do that with writing. Like, yeah,
I'll remember going to a plant, I'll remember finding it funny,
or I'll remember maybe a line that was really good
or like a scene, but like I'm remembering specific moments
and choices and line inflections. Like that's just such a
different level.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's one of the only times. It's one of the
only times that I was really happy that the writer
starred in it. I feel like that's hard for me
to enjoy. Yeah, I don't love that ever, but I like,
I really really was thrilled that Cole did it and
we got to see Cole do it. I'm really interested
(16:03):
to see another person do it because as someone who's
on the licensing side of this place specifically, I'm excited
to see how it looks with other people. I think
that's going to be like the big and here's the
thing business boy justin cap On. I want to say this.
I think it's gonna be great. It's a Foedora when
it's a business boy, and I think it's gonna be great.
Think it's gonna be super licensable. I think it's going
(16:25):
to do super well with other people besides Coley. I
just think that the world needs to see that because
right now it is Cole Show, and I'm so happy
that he's stepping away, but he's not ending because I
think a lot of people, a lot of actors and
a lot of comedians and stuff, if they wrote a show,
they started in it and it's a huge hit for them,
I feel like when they leave, the show closes. So
I think it's really cool. That's like something that you
(16:46):
don't see a lot of in our industry. Like Cole's leaving,
it's extending six months, and they're bringing in a massive
star to take over for him, and they're probably gonna
keep stunt casting that part. And I think that's really
cool that Cole is like just allowing that period and
was like letting that happen, and that's something you don't Yeah,
oh a thousand, yeah, but but yeah, I'm really excited
(17:10):
about I was really really excited. We all got to
see that. We did a little roomy date. Yeah, boom
bam bao. Do you want to do a holiday play?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Though? Yeah, I think we should do it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I feel like we had to talk about Oh Mary,
I almost forgot that we had to do that. Hit them,
just hit a random one.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I think it was our first year that I joked
and I was like, oh, and he does this, and
he does that, and then you did it, I know.
And I listened to it in the car, like driving
up the driveway to my parents' house, and it was
so magical.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm going to put some up put some Well you
did it again, Like right when we started, before we
started talking, you were like, oh, do I hear some sling?
Whenever we do a themed episode, Erica loves to toss
some stuff for.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Any editing justin something difficult, all right, you ready? So
the first thing that auto generated was the word candles.
Do you want to keep that or fresh?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Let's do something. Let's do something fresh?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Ready?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That was auto If you like hit that and then
and it came up, I would say no, But since
there's auto generated, let's hit and find something new.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I mean it can't one?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
One?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Here we go?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, Dasher, great, wait how many are we doing?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I assumed three? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Okay? Three?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Wait if we got Dash, because we always do three.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We always do three? Cool or I think we do three.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We usually do three. Honestly, one hundredth episodes.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I think the hundred the last episode we did, we
just when we did one every time. That's why it
feels different, Dasher, which has I hope we get three
of the Reindeer days. But okay, so Dasher, we.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Weren't on Mike when we did the s. We had
a whole we had a night we're like doing fake
musical improv together and we had a whole Reindeer one.
Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, we'll talk about it later. Very inappropriate, but it
was very funny, all right, So, Dasher, Advent, like an
advent calendar, has multiple meanings.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Right, I don't know the only thing I know when
it comes to Advent is an advent calendar. I'm a
really bad past Catholic. I don't know what adv Honestly,
this should have been your that's my and that's my job,
but I'm screwing the event.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Is Yeah, so it's an advent calendar. But the word
why it's called an advent calendar because the definition is
the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event, which
is very funny.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Jesus Okay, yeah, dasher, something arrived.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Really, I'm hardy, like Christmas door dash like it's the
advent of the Christmas door dasher.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
Third word miracle.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Okay, okay, Jesus fast.
Speaker 2 (19:46):

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Now you have to find Now you have to find
the Comorfia tree.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
In the version of this that is a stage play,
I do want to do like the two man rule
of I'm the front centaur version of the reindeer, and
someone else is hunkered down behind me as like the ass.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I thought we agreed that you were Dasher and I
was playing all the other roles.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You are, but I should get like a booty partner.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Do you want any clopping? Am I also the booty partner?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
No? No, no, you're everyone else?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Can one of the interns be the booty partner? Yeah? Yeah,
because I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Every night their back and broken and every new one
that's so funny burning through them. Oh my god, they're
all in like there's people walking around like neck brace.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's such a good it's such a good deal. An
apprentice at the Korak Theater that they.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Can't say the only time they ever get stage time. Only,
like you can't be seen because they're covered in brown
fur and they're behind me, break everyone's hands.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
They get banned by the end. Yeah. Anyway, so you
go to the Comorfia Forest.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay, so, and I think also like it's set in
New York, like stage rules. So I go to Central
I go to Central Park.
Speaker 1 (28:33):

Speaker 2 (40:18):
I know I didn't think that's where this is going, but.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I mean I think right as they're singing, they land
in Brooklyn and wait and Dasher sees the manger in
the distance. And what is Dasher gonna finish this storyline
with the clause right now? Or is going to be
say give me a second.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I need to think H's going to give her the slip.
I think he's going to be like, oh oh, like
looking for an excuse, and I think he's gonna be like, babe,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
What babe?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I mean, she just told me maybe thirteen times.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Because she's a lovely you know.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
But she's kind of acting crazy on a matter energy,
kind of got a curvet, you know, soa say we
gotta say it again and we go away. So I'm like,
big baby, baby, big up Baba baby baby baby baby baby,
baby baby baby baby baby baby, bad news. This is
taking a little longer than I thought. I hope I
(41:18):
still get tipped. Uh. All the presents for all the
little boys and girls are in the back of this sleigh.
I gotta go dash this task. Would you mind maybe
just driving this thing back? Keys are in it. Yeah,
hit up the Rockefeather Christmas tree on your way home,
drop all those presents under that tree. People can kind
of just go to that tree. You don't need to
(41:39):
do like an individual thing. This year can be kind
of like trunk or treating. You just kind of centralized Christmas.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
This year, pump and chunkin.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah. And and then after that, like just head on home.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Just head on home and on home to mister Sannah.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Maybe stop on the Macy's. I heard they have a
good light, you know, birk door and pick up a
new red and maybe just give us one more shot
just in case, just to be sure.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Megan Fox it's a single. Yeah, I understand, and then
we'll talk about it when I get home. I think.
Right before Megan Fox gets into her final big monologue,
you see the two other wise king Kings starting to
head towards the manger. You remember Casper saying, yeah, you
gotta beat them there.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, And I think there is one moment, one moment
here for one more emotional balance.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
I think that when missus Claus starts flying away and
I see those wise men pair it up together, they're
best friends, yeah, or wise kings, I don't you know,
or something however you call it.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Whenever I think.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
That I have a moment to feel really alone, I
think that I start a really harrowing rendition of Silent Night,
and I think about, like did I let her get away?
And I think about like my friendships. You know, I
don't really have wise We all kind of collectively shot
on Rudolph together. But like my boys, they're more of
my coworkers.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Your boys are not like yours, a coworker, a friend,
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Is missus Clause my lover?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
And we look into Dasher's loneliness.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, and Kestrel and it's sweeping.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
And I think at the end of that beautiful song
mm hmm, you look over, the wakings are almost there,
and I.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Do that little musical theater thing where you're like you
look out and you like you like do the head
thing like that's gonna be okay. And then I and
I do like that little what do you call that?
Like the little and before you run everyone who's it empty?
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Yeah, a little bra little like little catch bras.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And there's like always the hands, sweet skip jump And
then I'm like running. This is when the revolve comes
into play. Oh nice, Yeah, I'm kind of doing a
reverse Hades town.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
You kind of wait, you know what I would love
to see. I would love to see like you start
to run and you realize that the song took too
long and you're behind and you're gonna need some type
of like stoppage of them to beat them to the place.
And then in the night sky you see the sleigh.
It's badly just fly across, and you see missus Claus
(44:10):
for a moment. She winks and she drops a couple presents.
She drops two big lumps of coal, huge jumps of coal,
lands directly in front of the wise men. They're like boulders.
They're like, oh shoot, whoa, we got whoa. And that
throw off of them allows you to take the lead.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Maybe she was all right, Yeah, she was all right.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Maybe I should have been kinder advocated for her.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
That's a later problem.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Running you get you get past them, and you get
to the and you get to the manger. And how
does this musical end?
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Oh god, what's like the best? What is there a
song about like the baby? Is there a song about like.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Away in the way?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
But like at the end of this, like, oh it's hard,
you're playing all the parts.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
No, it's okay, I can play.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
All the interns are swinging, and so like the trees back.
Suddenly it's like there's you know, rounds, like everyone singing
the song that Santa and missus Claws are back, all
the reindeer are back. We're singing away in a manger.
And then when we have like our second standing ovation
like the Encore Encore, we come out and we sing
rocking around the Christmas tree. N Yeah, and I deliver
(45:23):
them r you delivered them and I mark delivered on
my phone.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
And then and and Casper gives you no tip.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
No carrots, no apples.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
He didn't give you any carrots, any apples, and Melky
or the other king looks at you and goes, oh,
Casper got you to do this. He's not sick, he's
just hung over.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Your face. You guys need to know. His face looks
so pissed and disappointed when.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
He said that, goes, yeah, we hate Casper. And he
goes here for your rebels, and malk yours the one
who brought the gold, and he gives half the gold
to Jesus and he takes the other half the other
gold bar, and he hands it to you and he goes,
I hope this tip is worth your journey tonight. Yeah,
(46:15):
And you.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Take that tip, and I take that gold.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
You take that gold. You buy all the raw carrots
and apples.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
All the carrots and apples that I want, and it
make us a competing South Pole toy factory.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
All right, Cold has borrow. Yeah, I completely like Mattel.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah yeah, I steal all the little elves and stuff
like that. And I do keep in touch with missus class.
You just keep in touch with her on opposite poles.
That's like the longest distance you can move to you.
I don't know if it's not serious. Maybe we just
the idea, Maybe we're just in love with the idea.
That's the sequel.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
We're doing sequels, yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
For late that's for next years.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Next year's a sequel on the box off we will
have Rushis on a box office. Grayhadson will star.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
The problem with this playto is it was much richer
than I thought it would be. That was very interesting
crafting it out like that. In those beats. I'm going
to take a shower tonight and I'm going to think
of five songs we should have put in.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
This is maybe the most intricate plato we've done in
a while. Well, so we just did the We just
did like a like the like one hundredth episode where
every plato was like last time a minute, not have
to it went so fast. Yeah, but yeah, this was
a forty minute play. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, we
did a musical.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Hey, happy holidays.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Hey guys, Happy holidays. Forget your tip or give your dash?
If there's a moral of this line, give you give
your door dasher.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Or holiday get your tip or fly trying?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
That's great. What's the name of the musical?
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Wait a minute, If I could fly?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I think at the end, maybe you realize you could
have flown time. Oh oh, I'm a flying reindeer.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Maybe maybe the like maybe the physics mechanics of it
is that like one reindeer can't fly alone, like you
gotta get kind of reindeered up.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah, I like my voice for Vixen. Hey, I'm viction,
I'm the hot one.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
I wear a love of jacket.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
I'm the hot one. I wear a leather jacket, the
hot one.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
That's good, and it just looks like this I'm not
using Wait, we got to.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Name the musical. What's a musical name? This is your
whole thing. You're good at naming stuff. I know this
is every This is your big thing.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
I mean, like, like dashing through the snow dashing is
really good, but already a little wordy dashing through the snow.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
What if it's just door dashing?
Speaker 2 (48:38):
A little left, that's a little we need to hide.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Find a middle ground door dashing, dashing through the snow?
What if it's just dashing dashing? Yeah, dashing.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
That's kind of nice cover like the marketing meteor. Like
our dasher has to be really hot, Like think of
like a Ryan Reynolds type.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Yeah, who would who would play? That's pretty good? Ran
Rounds just in a musical too, a Christmas musical with
Will Ferrell on TV. Okay, so he can sing, So yeah,
let's do Reynolds playing.
Speaker 2 (49:06):
You're playing all these people.
Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh you're right, yeah, except it's.
Speaker 2 (49:09):
A three person ensemble missus form of Ryan.
Speaker 1 (49:13):
Wait what are we doing? It's you, me and Megan Fox.
Yeah yeah, why are we trying to? Yeah? But you
look so hot and fast on, I'm so hot and
I'm so We are the first Broadway show in history
to have a holographic playbill. So when you move it,
it's like you know those photos when you like you
look at it and then it's confused, like is he
(49:35):
in this show? He's not, he's not, he's just on
the cover. We get sued, We get sued. Thank you

playto that we're going to be releasing because we recording
next Plato.
Speaker 2 (50:00):
Out of town.
Speaker 1 (50:01):
Yeah, while I'm out of or while we are out

January tenth is an extra plato, and January seventeenth is

holiday shows are up. And I, as someone who is

Now they're going to be chimney sweeping all of Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Actually we give them, that's so funny. When they misbehaved,
we give them jumps out. Have nothing to do with
the core act theater. We we just give them an
unendable job to do. We knew we were going to
give you guys a holiday off, but because you ate
that one the one hundred of you ate that one cookie.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
Will be very uh what's the word I want?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
We're gonna be deviating from our usual uh you know,
corporate sponsor, randomore generator dot net, and I'm gonna actually
be cheating with.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Well, you're using a new website.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Yes, guys, this is massive a rare occasion, but I
do have to do it because I couldn't remember how
to make random word generator do that.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh my gosh, that's insane. That's like huge, trust.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
I do I do. I listened to some of the
Big hundredth episode and which is.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Aired rightly at this point. Yeah, it's already aired, like
it's already aired since we've oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yea yeah yeah, because it was like, yes, sonyway, I
was listening to that and the whole phrase thing. We
have to do that more.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh yeah, I have to do the phrase.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
I like the phrase one one was fun.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That was my favorite bit.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
People really people really like the hundredth episode, really like.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Us just bits. It was two hours of that part.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
It was just two hours I.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Think with plana Z like there's like always something for
someone because the episode. If you're like I need opportunity,
I need a weird niche deep dive, I need monologue Rex.
That was truly for the banter.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh yeah, but when I hear us, just be like, also,
have you heard that thick cough or if you hear
any other sniffles, just j Bossico hit it. Honestly, again,
I only know two buttons. I know we've had this
for a long time. I can't even because the sun
(04:12):
is so bright in your room, I can't really see
the colors. I just know bottom right is succoon, yes,
and then above that is Liz, and then top left
is what's up?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Everybody? That's right, We're back. It's the Holiday Plato episode.
We're gonna go to a website, smash that button three
times and letter.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Yeah, every other button on there. I do not understand
or know what it does.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
That's perfect.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's like my take contact.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
It's leaving it. I'm leaving it up to the imagination.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
The board is a mystery. We are not here to
solve it.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Do you want me to generate some words? Are you
excited for the holidays?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah? I am excited. You know what, I'm least excited.
I'm saddest about the thing. You know what. The thing
I'm saddest about is tell me justin. I didn't get
to see Elf the musical.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah, well they didn't make it easy for you.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
No, I want to be inaccessible. I want to make
a public statement.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
This track hit it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
And here's yeah tell us, Yeah, yeah, tell us. I
just want to say that the Marquee Theater frustrates me
so much. I'm putting them on blast. I tried so hard.
I posted about Elf the Musical like six times for
free on my Instagram. I kept on doing it. I
don't even want comps. I wanted to be able to
(05:36):
rush it. I couldn't rush it. No. I walked in
to that theater to get tickets the other day and
I know from hearing around that they haven't like sold
out a show, like they have tickets. Yeah. I was like, Hey,
do you guys have any rush tickets? And the lady
was like, the cheapest I can get you in is
one forty five.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Nope, can't do it.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
And I was like, what about the back of the orchestra.
I'll even take like partial view. I just really want
to be in the environ.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I let someone sit on me.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I was like, I was like, I'll share a seat.
Do you have a shared seat program. I'll do bottom
bunk and do you have a bottom yeah? Do you
have a BBP bottom bunk program? Yeah? Back in the med.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
They create that because you know, have the two levels,
but the gaps, I just stack them.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
It's the only way they can, the only way they
can they can. They can say as you say, the
only way that our interns stay warm and are allowed
to see the shows they work on. It's by the
b m BBP are.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Actually they're really hard, they're really uncomfortable, but our interns
they cushion.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
That seat the sea so then we don't have to
pay for renovation.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The little hand.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Exactly, we do have a couple of that. They hold
your drinks. Yeah, they ask if you're doing okay.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
They didn't even have that, dude, sounds like but.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I walked into the marketing and I was like, can
I please see Elf the Musical? And she was like
one hundred and forty five dollars.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
And to play in my head, she's holding a gun.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
She's totally your gun at me. She's told its striped
Like I was so mad. And here's the thing. Do
I think Elf the Musical is the greatest musical world? No?
I think that it's the holidays and I want to
see Gray Henson be buddy the Elf. I want to
she Sean asked, and be Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
You like a musical and I love Elf the Musical.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I think it's so fun. So I was like, oh,
like this is going to be such a blast. There's
like a day where like I think, like Liz is working,
I knew for a fact you would never want to
see it.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
I mean, here's the thing, I would see it. I
just I wouldn't pay money, no exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
If i'd comps, but like that's the thing is like
I didn't, so I was like so much.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
To see right now that it's exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
So it's kind of like, okay, I'm just gonna go
and get myself a tickere do a little solo day
and go see Elf the musical. And I walked in
and she's like one hundred and forty five dollars and
the plate. She pulls out a gun. She she swept,
she pistol whips me and I go out out ow ow.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Nice.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Yeah, I realized the gun she has is Peppermany is
pepper and candy. She was joking.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
No, this isn't by the way, this it's just fancy, dude.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
So she says this and wait, yeah, I get it out,
stick it out. So she says this, and I to
play the game. I go, oh, one hundred and forty
five dollars. Oh perfect, let me see what you have
available and she turns her computer around the entire balcony
is available for the show that night at seven. I'm
there at like nine am. The show at seven o'clock.
(08:20):
There's like, I'm not kidding, dude. The availability in the balcony,
there's maybe I think eight seats taken. Wow, eight seats,
that's it taken. And I said, in the cheapest ticket
in there is one forty five. No line at the like, like,
there's nothing.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
No line at your rush.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
Well, there is no rush. There's no line at the
box office at all. So I was like, is there
any like student discount or anything. She goes, if you're
a vet, I can get you a ninety five dollars ticket.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
I guess.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
I mean that's I gotta go to go to war.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah. Like so the I was just so, Sally, why
they're doing that? The federal government.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It owns the Marquithie there. Yeah, and there trying to
get where people to enjoyed the art.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Commercials and the guys walking around your high school and
make an eye contact. Weren't enough.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Wait, how funny would it be if the next commercial
is and you get to see off the musical.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The musical will hit you with the gun when you
buy the ticket only you get to keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
You get to keep it. You get to keep that ticket.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
And keep it.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Yeah, Bill, that's been my least favorite holiday thing in
the world is that I've tried. I'm not kidding, no joke.
I've tried to see Off the Musical five times since
it opened. I just don't have I don't want to
spend over one hundred dollars and I can't get to
take it for less than one hundred bucks. I'm sorry,
I'm begging. I'm begging.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Holiday moment. I got to show one of my best
friends the holiday the Nancy Myers maybe had like a
really really good musical plato about I think yeah we did.
Or maybe it was just like a one off prompt.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Yeah I think so.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But my friend hadn't seen it, and so I got
I got to rewatch it with someone who didn't know
what was going to happen.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
She's the last person on earth that that experience so satisfying.
She's like, wait, why did Jack Black do more of
this fuddy? Anyway, it reminded me of that episode, which
is I think last year. I think we were in
our apartment together.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
Yeah, we have been experiencing New York a little bit
like holiday have you seen any have been any holiday
we went to?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Oh, Mary talked about that. We saw Omary and it
was amazing. It was very funny.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
It was so funny. We were lucked out. We're able
to get tickets we could actually afford.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Yeah, thank you before Cole left, because that's been announced
to that their extend. Did you see that they're sending
to June.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Oh, I didn't see that the extending limited engagement with the.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
Gilpin No Gilpin, I think Gilpin or Glopin or something.
But yeah, Betty, and she's playing what's called Mary and
Mary Todd Lincoln, which I'm excited to see that that
role is going to be like played by I think
really like anyone who cold is like this person can
do it. Because also she's so funny, she's great and glow.
She's great in what's that movie Hunt? The Hunt?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Yeah, I saw your brain. Yeah, I saw what you meant.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Oh, you also know I love the kind of movies that.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Yeah, that's she's like a.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
She's so funny.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I don't know, she has like a like a really
good face, like she's like very very stunning and gorgeous,
but she can look really scary and really yeah, like
it's a very fascinating person. Oh yeah, that show was
so funny. I belly laughed so hard. It was the
type of show. And I will say that that theater
has a really wretched bathroom situation.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Which is what it is.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Is awful, very inaccessible. It's really difficult. I like knew
I needed to pee before this performance that I literally
didn't piss my pants, laughing. Yeah, very relieved that I did.
You did so satisfying. I tried to, like know it's
a little about the show as possible, but couldn't help
get some content about it like funneled to me.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
But I was happy I tried. I tried so hard
to read it before. Because I can also announce this
dramas has brought my licensing. We own it, which is awesome.
There go pre order it right now on our website
unless by this point. I don't think by this point
it'll be up. I think it's not gonna be out
till like January, February March, because Cole's still like playing
(11:57):
with three writes. I have a feeling when Cole leaves,
he's going to like take the script and be like
this is the final kind of cut of it, and
give like a locked version to Betty and then like
that'll be the version we have, Yeah, because I do
think there's a lot of playing up there still. I
think it's like a really locked script. But I think
like Cole is so funny and it's really a star
(12:19):
vehicle for Cole. I'm sure he's been discovering stuff throughout
the Broadway run that he has been like playing and
tinkering with a little bit.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I really want to now that
I have seen it, I want to like go back
into like all of the interviews and deep content or
kind of content deep dives that they did with it,
because like it's the first show I've seen in such
a long time where it really felt like whatever their
process was, there was so much room for play and
they kept the play.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Oh yeah, that's absolutely tiny.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Bits that were thrown in where I was like, that
feels like just an amazing ordained actor choice. That's what
I was like, that's actually so good.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Keep it. And with so many shows announcing closing like
so soon, which is so sad, it's been.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
A crazy way of event and I think there's going
to be more to come, so I'm definitely trying to
get through my list.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
The fact that this show announced that they're staying open
till June is awesome, so make sure if you come to.
And also I think that I don't know, they're going
to keep stunt casting Mary, which I think is great.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I think that like when this goes to licensing, because
I've been like, you know what, what's the equivalent of
doing something like that? Like in other regions. I think
it should be like whoever you're like most notorious hilarious,
like local drag queen.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Is Yeah, should be like but then also like just
straight up a like female actor like who is very
funny is also is about to take over Cole. So
I think like they're really opening up the role to
I don't know anybody, nobody, I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
I also think I remember when we saw Parker Posey
as Oh in The Seagull. I'm blinking on her name,
Dina Arena Arcadeena her in that role gave Mary Todd Lincoln.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Oh yeah, Parker would be a great.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Oh yeah, it's such a beauty. It's such a beautiful
role because like you're thinking about like how Cold did it?
And then it could just be embodied by so many
people it seems impossible.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But I want, I want to see. I hope that
like the final like two months of the run, they
have like a crazy massive celebrity that's so different from
the last come in for like a week. Like I
want to see like Aubrey Plaza to see.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Lady Gaga do it, and then Aubrey Plaza the next night,
and then.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah, yeah, I want to see like Alaska Thunder jingle Bell.
I want to see like I want to see like
one of the Boulet brothers do it, just really dark
and like Deadpan in Drag. I want to go. I
want to see like Martin Short do it. I want
to see like the weirdest possible choices that you could
imagine and then just like go for it because I
think that's very fun. I think that's the point of
(14:54):
the show. I think it's just in the grand scheme
of things. It's just a very very funny political farce
that I think is like so smart while being so stupid.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It's so good honestly, Like it's one of those two
where you know it's such a good like I don't
know what word I want to use, like holistic production,
where like the things that I like look back on
and like I can literally feel smile break out of
my face, like they were like cool's delivery. Yeah, like
what they did with that. Like there's just certain lines
I think about and they like make me laugh, and
(15:28):
it's really really hard to do that with writing. Like, yeah,
I'll remember going to a plant, I'll remember finding it funny,
or I'll remember maybe a line that was really good
or like a scene, but like I'm remembering specific moments
and choices and line inflections. Like that's just such a
different level.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
It's one of the only times. It's one of the
only times that I was really happy that the writer
starred in it. I feel like that's hard for me
to enjoy. Yeah, I don't love that ever, but I like,
I really really was thrilled that Cole did it and
we got to see Cole do it. I'm really interested
(16:03):
to see another person do it because as someone who's
on the licensing side of this place specifically, I'm excited
to see how it looks with other people. I think
that's going to be like the big and here's the
thing business boy justin cap On. I want to say this.
I think it's gonna be great. It's a Foedora when
it's a business boy, and I think it's gonna be great.
Think it's gonna be super licensable. I think it's going
(16:25):
to do super well with other people besides Coley. I
just think that the world needs to see that because
right now it is Cole Show, and I'm so happy
that he's stepping away, but he's not ending because I
think a lot of people, a lot of actors and
a lot of comedians and stuff, if they wrote a show,
they started in it and it's a huge hit for them,
I feel like when they leave, the show closes. So
I think it's really cool. That's like something that you
(16:46):
don't see a lot of in our industry. Like Cole's leaving,
it's extending six months, and they're bringing in a massive
star to take over for him, and they're probably gonna
keep stunt casting that part. And I think that's really
cool that Cole is like just allowing that period and
was like letting that happen, and that's something you don't Yeah,
oh a thousand, yeah, but but yeah, I'm really excited
(17:10):
about I was really really excited. We all got to
see that. We did a little roomy date. Yeah, boom
bam bao. Do you want to do a holiday play?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Though? Yeah, I think we should do it.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I feel like we had to talk about Oh Mary,
I almost forgot that we had to do that. Hit them,
just hit a random one.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I think it was our first year that I joked
and I was like, oh, and he does this, and
he does that, and then you did it, I know.
And I listened to it in the car, like driving
up the driveway to my parents' house, and it was
so magical.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I'm going to put some up put some Well you
did it again, Like right when we started, before we
started talking, you were like, oh, do I hear some sling?
Whenever we do a themed episode, Erica loves to toss
some stuff for.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
Any editing justin something difficult, all right, you ready? So
the first thing that auto generated was the word candles.
Do you want to keep that or fresh?
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Let's do something. Let's do something fresh?
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Ready?
Speaker 1 (18:05):
That was auto If you like hit that and then
and it came up, I would say no, But since
there's auto generated, let's hit and find something new.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Yeah, I mean it can't one?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
One?
Speaker 2 (18:16):
Here we go?
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Yeah, Dasher, great, wait how many are we doing?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
I assumed three? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Okay? Three?
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Wait if we got Dash, because we always do three.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
We always do three? Cool or I think we do three.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
We usually do three. Honestly, one hundredth episodes.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
I think the hundred the last episode we did, we
just when we did one every time. That's why it
feels different, Dasher, which has I hope we get three
of the Reindeer days. But okay, so Dasher, we.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Weren't on Mike when we did the s. We had
a whole we had a night we're like doing fake
musical improv together and we had a whole Reindeer one.
Do you remember that?
Speaker 1 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Okay, we'll talk about it later. Very inappropriate, but it
was very funny, all right, So, Dasher, Advent, like an
advent calendar, has multiple meanings.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Right, I don't know the only thing I know when
it comes to Advent is an advent calendar. I'm a
really bad past Catholic. I don't know what adv Honestly,
this should have been your that's my and that's my job,
but I'm screwing the event.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
Is Yeah, so it's an advent calendar. But the word
why it's called an advent calendar because the definition is
the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event, which
is very funny.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
Jesus Okay, yeah, dasher, something arrived.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
Really, I'm hardy, like Christmas door dash like it's the
advent of the Christmas door dasher.

Got to deliver all of his deliveries by.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Wait okay, okay, wait Jesus. Okay. Well here's the thing.
What if how can we how parody or maybe not
even parody, but adapt the classic story of Jesus, the
miracle of Jesus being born into a door dasher?

I have my objective. I know what I need to do.
I'm trying to sneak out of the barn warehouse where
I work for amateur creaking freak missus Claus, that's you.
Missus Claus sees me. She doesn't want me to sure
a side hustle Dash where you're going a little duet
of baby outside, because I really no, we can't.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
We can't pick real songs if we're gonna sing on
the show.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Okay, so Broadway right now is just real songs that
we put in a show.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I know that, but you and I are doing I'm
about to agree to kind of do a little musical improv. Okay, yeah,
but we can't do baby it's cool outside.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
What if we just say the words?
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Nope, we can't because you already said on air that
this is baby it's cool outside.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
So guys, you imagine that we just did that. But
justine cause and I'm Dasher, and I'm like, it's like,
it's it's.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
Being okay with you going could have a little.

my husband. She looks down sad, hoping you kiss her.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
I look just over shoulder. I go, is that is
that that dumb ass rut off with this big dumb
red nose?
Speaker 1 (27:12):
She looks.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I take my moment and I run.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
She she goes, where's that dumb ass nose? I want
to head him. I have bought that nose. I don't.
I don't see that notes where dashuld go?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
And I'm already gone.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Snow comes down.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
The forest and I think we should do well.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
Now you have to find Now you have to find
the Comorfia tree.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
In the version of this that is a stage play,
I do want to do like the two man rule
of I'm the front centaur version of the reindeer, and
someone else is hunkered down behind me as like the ass.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
I thought we agreed that you were Dasher and I
was playing all the other roles.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
You are, but I should get like a booty partner.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
Do you want any clopping? Am I also the booty partner?
Speaker 2 (27:53):
No? No, no, you're everyone else?
Speaker 1 (27:55):
Can one of the interns be the booty partner? Yeah? Yeah,
because I haven't seen.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
Every night their back and broken and every new one
that's so funny burning through them. Oh my god, they're
all in like there's people walking around like neck brace.
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's such a good it's such a good deal. An
apprentice at the Korak Theater that they.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Can't say the only time they ever get stage time. Only,
like you can't be seen because they're covered in brown
fur and they're behind me, break everyone's hands.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
They get banned by the end. Yeah. Anyway, so you
go to the Comorfia Forest.
Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay, so, and I think also like it's set in
New York, like stage rules. So I go to Central
I go to Central Park.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Set in New York. It's so funny.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
It's like a modern retail.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Wait wait, wait wait wait, he's I leave the North Pole.
He's in the North Pole and Casper in Bethlehem and Israel.
And then you leave the North Pole two seconds later
you're intent.
Speaker 2 (28:47):
It's like Inwood to Lower Manhattan.
Speaker 1 (28:49):
It's like in Wood that's so funny.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
But you're over to Central Park.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
You're in Central Park and I'm the tree. I'm the
Comorfia Tree. Yeah, and this is my big song. Okay,
I'm the Comorfia.
Speaker 2 (29:00):
It has to be a Christmas standard. So what is

Okay, so I take the axe. It's difficult because I
have hose instead of hands, and you don't have apposable thumbs.
You're like, and I'm wearing and to convey that, and
it's a hazard because, as you know Erica me personally
the actor, I don't like axes.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
I like the idea that Vixen shoots Rudolph.
Speaker 2 (34:54):
Oh my god, I don't care.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
It's just an intern who cares.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
You're right exactly.
Speaker 1 (35:00):
We're fine anyway. So they leave guns on stage is awesome.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
They leave. I feel like we need one last kind.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Of Well, you've got to get to Jesus.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Okay, So I check out the hotel.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Casper calls you again.

Sorry, a couple of places where our people are close
for the holiday, but I got some all.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Right, good? Are you? Okay? So just get there as
soon as you can, because I think the other two
wise Kings are gonna get there really soon and they
are like jerks about it, So like you gotta get
there at the same time or before them, or they're
going to be like weird, because they're gonna be weird
that I'm sick already. But if I if you get
there first, then like I don't have to worry about stuff.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Okay, yeah, sorry, but I just went through something really traumatic.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
What are you talking about? Are you talking about? In
Central Park?
Speaker 2 (35:55):
I find out what Mr is.

Mary and the Joseph.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Okay, wait, where's the hangout the phone at? Oh no?
Speaker 1 (36:21):
And then you remember I remember from the Bible Stories
re instruction that the why the three ys Kings followed
the North Star to Jesus. Do you remember that?
Speaker 2 (36:32):
I looked to the stars in Manhattan, tough cell, and.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
You see one big star and it's right above.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
I've got to go to Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (36:42):
You gotta get the Brooklyn Ferry. That's so funny to me.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
What do you want me to take the same? What
do you wan to do? You want to make the

You want to take the g.

do the impossible.
Speaker 1 (37:17):
What do you have to do?
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I pull out my phone, ding ding ding ding ding.
I gotta call Santa Claus. I need to borrow the sleigh.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Oh, Dasher, Dasher, where have you been?
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Man?
Speaker 2 (37:33):
So bad news?
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Shut up, missus Claus. I'm talking to Dasher.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Gosh, she deserves better.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
What'd you just say?
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Nothing? That was vixen? Hey?
Speaker 1 (37:44):
What use Sanny? Sanny Claus. I'm coming back home in
a second.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
She Hey, man, I need to borrow the car.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
You need to borrow the car?
Speaker 2 (37:56):
An awkward thing for an employee to ask their employer,
But to be honest, you're not paying me enough.
Speaker 1 (38:03):
Whoa that feels like a big accusation for old Santa Clause.
Everyone loves Santa Claus. Everyone loves Santa Claus.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
The sounds of people getting hit it's interns, the foliot
live in turns getting hit. A.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
Oh, everyone loves Sanny Sandy Claus.
Speaker 2 (38:22):
Sanna, I just need to borrow the sleigh. I gotta
get to Brooklyn Transit's all screwy.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
All right, Well, you know the rules.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, remind me if you.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Want to borrow the sleigh. You have to.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Sing away, and then I sing another song?
Speaker 1 (38:38):
What song is this one?
Speaker 2 (38:42):
What's what's like when they're dashing through the snow.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
Horse and that's the open sleigh. Yes, and so by
the end and in the and and Sandy goes all right, Dasher,
you can have the sleigh, and Missus Clause will go
get it for you.
Speaker 2 (39:02):
There's a sound of him eating cookies and slurping milk.
Speaker 1 (39:04):
Yeah, and missus claud in the back, and you hear
missus Claus very faintly in the background say something along
the lines of yeah, I'll get it ready for you.
Dash share such a violent know we've come to Yeah,
well you know that's life. I get the sleigh, that's
the world.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
Lay my way all day to Brooklyn.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
And you wait. And while you're going to Brooklyn, Yeah,
you hear a little like.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
What is that?
Speaker 1 (39:29):
And out from underneath the floorboards of the sleigh, missus claws,
Oh no, I couldn't be with Sandy anymore. I had
to get out of there.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
Oh no. And I'm like, hey, like I think maybe
there's been a misunderstanding, like I can't do this.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
I love you.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
She says, you can be my Sanna. She goes into
her solo Santa Baby.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
It's very sexualized, very hot, but we cast a bombshell.
Speaker 1 (40:00):
Garlett Johansson play sand.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Megan Fox Fox Miss she's done a lot of crazy
husband movies.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's so funny.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Megan Fox sings Santa Baby.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
Yeah, I do you think Dasher reciprocates and falls in love?
Speaker 2 (40:18):
I know I didn't think that's where this is going, but.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
I mean I think right as they're singing, they land
in Brooklyn and wait and Dasher sees the manger in
the distance. And what is Dasher gonna finish this storyline
with the clause right now? Or is going to be
say give me a second.
Speaker 2 (40:37):
I need to think H's going to give her the slip.
I think he's going to be like, oh oh, like
looking for an excuse, and I think he's gonna be like, babe,
I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
What babe?
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I mean, she just told me maybe thirteen times.
Speaker 1 (40:54):
Because she's a lovely you know.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
But she's kind of acting crazy on a matter energy,
kind of got a curvet, you know, soa say we
gotta say it again and we go away. So I'm like,
big baby, baby, big up Baba baby baby baby baby baby,
baby baby baby baby baby baby, bad news. This is
taking a little longer than I thought. I hope I
(41:18):
still get tipped. Uh. All the presents for all the
little boys and girls are in the back of this sleigh.
I gotta go dash this task. Would you mind maybe
just driving this thing back? Keys are in it. Yeah,
hit up the Rockefeather Christmas tree on your way home,
drop all those presents under that tree. People can kind
of just go to that tree. You don't need to
(41:39):
do like an individual thing. This year can be kind
of like trunk or treating. You just kind of centralized Christmas.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
This year, pump and chunkin.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah. And and then after that, like just head on home.
Speaker 1 (41:50):
Just head on home and on home to mister Sannah.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
Maybe stop on the Macy's. I heard they have a
good light, you know, birk door and pick up a
new red and maybe just give us one more shot
just in case, just to be sure.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
Megan Fox it's a single. Yeah, I understand, and then
we'll talk about it when I get home. I think.
Right before Megan Fox gets into her final big monologue,
you see the two other wise king Kings starting to
head towards the manger. You remember Casper saying, yeah, you
gotta beat them there.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Yeah, And I think there is one moment, one moment
here for one more emotional balance.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:34):
I think that when missus Claus starts flying away and
I see those wise men pair it up together, they're
best friends, yeah, or wise kings, I don't you know,
or something however you call it.
Speaker 1 (42:43):
Whenever I think.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
That I have a moment to feel really alone, I
think that I start a really harrowing rendition of Silent Night,
and I think about, like did I let her get away?
And I think about like my friendships. You know, I
don't really have wise We all kind of collectively shot
on Rudolph together. But like my boys, they're more of
my coworkers.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
Your boys are not like yours, a coworker, a friend,
Yeah exactly.
Speaker 2 (43:09):
Is missus Clause my lover?
Speaker 1 (43:11):
And we look into Dasher's loneliness.
Speaker 2 (43:13):
Yeah, and Kestrel and it's sweeping.
Speaker 1 (43:16):
And I think at the end of that beautiful song
mm hmm, you look over, the wakings are almost there,
and I.
Speaker 2 (43:22):
Do that little musical theater thing where you're like you
look out and you like you like do the head
thing like that's gonna be okay. And then I and
I do like that little what do you call that?
Like the little and before you run everyone who's it empty?
Speaker 1 (43:37):
Yeah, a little bra little like little catch bras.
Speaker 2 (43:40):
And there's like always the hands, sweet skip jump And
then I'm like running. This is when the revolve comes
into play. Oh nice, Yeah, I'm kind of doing a
reverse Hades town.
Speaker 1 (43:49):
You kind of wait, you know what I would love
to see. I would love to see like you start
to run and you realize that the song took too
long and you're behind and you're gonna need some type
of like stoppage of them to beat them to the place.
And then in the night sky you see the sleigh.
It's badly just fly across, and you see missus Claus
(44:10):
for a moment. She winks and she drops a couple presents.
She drops two big lumps of coal, huge jumps of coal,
lands directly in front of the wise men. They're like boulders.
They're like, oh shoot, whoa, we got whoa. And that
throw off of them allows you to take the lead.
Speaker 2 (44:27):
Maybe she was all right, Yeah, she was all right.
Speaker 1 (44:32):
Maybe I should have been kinder advocated for her.
Speaker 2 (44:35):
That's a later problem.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Running you get you get past them, and you get
to the and you get to the manger. And how
does this musical end?
Speaker 2 (44:46):
Oh god, what's like the best? What is there a
song about like the baby? Is there a song about like.
Speaker 1 (44:52):
Away in the way?
Speaker 2 (44:58):
But like at the end of this, like, oh it's hard,
you're playing all the parts.
Speaker 1 (45:01):
No, it's okay, I can play.
Speaker 2 (45:01):
All the interns are swinging, and so like the trees back.
Suddenly it's like there's you know, rounds, like everyone singing
the song that Santa and missus Claws are back, all
the reindeer are back. We're singing away in a manger.
And then when we have like our second standing ovation
like the Encore Encore, we come out and we sing
rocking around the Christmas tree. N Yeah, and I deliver
(45:23):
them r you delivered them and I mark delivered on
my phone.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
And then and and Casper gives you no tip.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
No carrots, no apples.
Speaker 1 (45:35):
He didn't give you any carrots, any apples, and Melky
or the other king looks at you and goes, oh,
Casper got you to do this. He's not sick, he's
just hung over.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Your face. You guys need to know. His face looks
so pissed and disappointed when.
Speaker 1 (45:53):
He said that, goes, yeah, we hate Casper. And he
goes here for your rebels, and malk yours the one
who brought the gold, and he gives half the gold
to Jesus and he takes the other half the other
gold bar, and he hands it to you and he goes,
I hope this tip is worth your journey tonight. Yeah,
(46:15):
And you.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Take that tip, and I take that gold.
Speaker 1 (46:17):
You take that gold. You buy all the raw carrots
and apples.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
All the carrots and apples that I want, and it
make us a competing South Pole toy factory.
Speaker 1 (46:28):
All right, Cold has borrow. Yeah, I completely like Mattel.
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Yeah yeah, I steal all the little elves and stuff
like that. And I do keep in touch with missus class.
You just keep in touch with her on opposite poles.
That's like the longest distance you can move to you.
I don't know if it's not serious. Maybe we just
the idea, Maybe we're just in love with the idea.
That's the sequel.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
We're doing sequels, yeah.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
For late that's for next years.
Speaker 1 (46:55):
Next year's a sequel on the box off we will
have Rushis on a box office. Grayhadson will star.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
The problem with this playto is it was much richer
than I thought it would be. That was very interesting
crafting it out like that. In those beats. I'm going
to take a shower tonight and I'm going to think
of five songs we should have put in.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
This is maybe the most intricate plato we've done in
a while. Well, so we just did the We just
did like a like the like one hundredth episode where
every plato was like last time a minute, not have
to it went so fast. Yeah, but yeah, this was
a forty minute play. Yeah, I love that. Yeah, we
did a musical.
Speaker 2 (47:32):
Hey, happy holidays.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Hey guys, Happy holidays. Forget your tip or give your dash?
If there's a moral of this line, give you give
your door dasher.
Speaker 2 (47:41):
Or holiday get your tip or fly trying?
Speaker 1 (47:45):
That's great. What's the name of the musical?
Speaker 2 (47:47):
Wait a minute, If I could fly?
Speaker 1 (47:49):
I think at the end, maybe you realize you could
have flown time. Oh oh, I'm a flying reindeer.
Speaker 2 (47:57):
Maybe maybe the like maybe the physics mechanics of it
is that like one reindeer can't fly alone, like you
gotta get kind of reindeered up.
Speaker 1 (48:04):
Yeah, I like my voice for Vixen. Hey, I'm viction,
I'm the hot one.
Speaker 2 (48:09):
I wear a love of jacket.
Speaker 1 (48:10):
I'm the hot one. I wear a leather jacket, the
hot one.
Speaker 2 (48:12):
That's good, and it just looks like this I'm not
using Wait, we got to.
Speaker 1 (48:15):
Name the musical. What's a musical name? This is your
whole thing. You're good at naming stuff. I know this
is every This is your big thing.
Speaker 2 (48:24):
I mean, like, like dashing through the snow dashing is
really good, but already a little wordy dashing through the snow.
Speaker 1 (48:35):
What if it's just door dashing?
Speaker 2 (48:38):
A little left, that's a little we need to hide.
Speaker 1 (48:40):
Find a middle ground door dashing, dashing through the snow?
What if it's just dashing dashing? Yeah, dashing.
Speaker 2 (48:47):
That's kind of nice cover like the marketing meteor. Like
our dasher has to be really hot, Like think of
like a Ryan Reynolds type.
Speaker 1 (48:52):
Yeah, who would who would play? That's pretty good? Ran
Rounds just in a musical too, a Christmas musical with
Will Ferrell on TV. Okay, so he can sing, So yeah,

(50:22):
we'll be back with States the week after that.
Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (50:24):
So I think it's the third where January third we're off,
January tenth is an extra plato, and January seventeenth is
when we come back with Florida.
Speaker 2 (50:31):
It's a good plato too, if I remember correctly.
Speaker 1 (50:33):
It's a silly one.
Speaker 2 (50:34):
I don't know when it was recorded, but it wasn't
released it we're gonna give.

Stay healthy, Oh my gosh. Yeah, don't stay healthy, don't
get sick. But yeah, have a good holiday, whether that's
spending time with the family, whether that's recovery and recouping time,
whether that's going to see a bunch of movies or
a bunch of shows that you want to see. Here's
the thing, this is also the time where theater is
a little bit off. There's also when a lot of
(51:24):
holiday shows are up. And I, as someone who is
personally I can't talk too much about it, but is
currently working on a Christmas Carol adaptation for a theater company,
it's very beneficial to go see and watch the hundreds
of Christmas Carol auditions that are all over the world.
So exactly, so go watch some Christmas shows. Go like,
(51:44):
spend some time checking out theater. The special like holiday time. God,
I want to see Cult to Love so bad. It's
like a really cool new play on Broadway right now.
That's all about like a messed up family during the holidays.
And yeah, enjoy theater, go read theater. Hopefully have some
free time. You can read some fun plays and uh yeah,
(52:04):
anything else we want to plug.
Speaker 2 (52:06):
No, I think I think I actually hear something.
Speaker 1 (52:09):
What do you hear jingle bells all the way. Thanks
for listening, Thanks for listening. Oh well, wait, before I go,
I want to say the thing I say. We haven't
recorded in a couple weeks.
Speaker 2 (52:20):
I can't believe the jingle bells are still playing.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
Oh my god, they're still playing. Before I go, I
want to say the thing I say at the end
of every podcast. I want to look my friend in
her beautiful blue eyes and say, Erica Kun, happy holidays,
and I love you so much.
Speaker 2 (52:32):
Justin Borak, Happy Holidays. I love you. Jingle Jingle all
the way.
