- 20:50Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah, it's a good one.
- 20:51Speaker 1: It is a good one. I just heard something interesting. Well, So,
- 20:56Speaker 1: first of all, if you get a chance to see
- 20:59Speaker 1: the show Fossy Verdon, it is very good. It's about
- 21:04Speaker 1: Bob Fosse and Gwen Verdon has Sam Rockwell and Michelle
- 21:08Speaker 1: Williams in it, and it's just really well done and
- 21:11Speaker 1: it I think all of us know Foss's name, but
- 21:14Speaker 1: she was just as impressive as she is, but yeah,
- 21:18Speaker 1: like as a talent and just an amazing dancer and
- 21:22Speaker 1: had a huge influence on this and that. But anyway,
- 21:25Speaker 1: I guess her and another woman they did the sound
- 21:29Speaker 1: for singing in the rain, so Gene Kelly danced the
- 21:33Speaker 1: dance for singing in the rain, and then I guess
- 21:36Speaker 1: they really wanted to like hear the tap shoes and
- 21:39Speaker 1: hear the sound of splashing water and stuff like that,
- 21:43Speaker 1: and it wasn't really captured when he did his take,
- 21:46Speaker 1: so they also did the dance with tons of water
- 21:50Speaker 1: and to make it sound right.
- 21:52Speaker 2: Wow.
- 21:52Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't know it.
- 21:53Speaker 2: So it's a little of him, little of them.
- 21:55Speaker 1: Yeah. So I mean, like it's all him doing the dance,
- 21:57Speaker 1: but then it's but sound wise, it's them. Yeah.
- 22:00Speaker 2: Wow.
- 22:00Speaker 1: Yeah. So that was a fun, fun little thing I
- 22:03Speaker 1: just learned.
- 22:04Speaker 2: I'll admit that I picked like a hundred actors because
- 22:08Speaker 2: obviously they all played characters with the name Cosmo, but
- 22:12Speaker 2: they also I'm not sure about Leo Carroll. I think
- 22:17Speaker 2: this applies, but I think they all played characters with
- 22:20Speaker 2: the first name Frank as well. I went through each
- 22:24Speaker 2: one's filmography to check and forgive me if I got
- 22:28Speaker 2: it wrong. It was I mean Joe, yeah right. Ben
- 22:34Speaker 2: Kingsley has been in a ton of stuff. Donald O'Connor
- 22:38Speaker 2: was in a lot of stuff. Michael Richards was actually
- 22:41Speaker 2: the I think the one that's been in the least
- 22:43Speaker 2: amount things. Leo Carroll was in a ton of stuff.
- 22:46Speaker 2: But I tried to go through and see which one
- 22:48Speaker 2: did did this character play a Michael, did this character
- 22:51Speaker 2: play a John character play or did this actor play
- 22:55Speaker 2: a George. So Frank was the one that kept popping up,
- 22:59Speaker 2: and it was like, stop, I don't know, uh, screenwriters,
- 23:03Speaker 2: stop using Frank.
- 23:04Speaker 1: All right, let's be Frank, just be Frank.
- 23:08Speaker 2: You don't have to make it that obviously. Well, you
