MM hello and welcome to a special episode of Because Fuck You That's Why.
0:42
We are taking you center stage in front of the lights in the audience
0:48
to enjoy the theater. And along those lines, we have a very special
0:56
guest with us today is Kyla. Hi, Kyla Hi, Aaron. Fans
1:03
of our show may remember Kyla from episode one hundred, the Taskmaster episode Yeah
1:08
yeah, which definitely carved in. I made a fabrige aa. It was
1:14
fantastic. You did better than meat actually brought something about so much fun.
1:22
Yeah. So yeah. Stevie, one of our regular guest main captains,
1:29
is out for the day fortunately, so now is the time when we all
1:33
get to make fun of him. Yep, he's short, Yes, and
1:40
it's so bald. Yeah, he says, I probably shouldn't make fun of
1:44
him being bald. No, you have more hair than backfires att. Yeah,
1:48
way more hair than I do. But that's because it grows out the
1:49
sides. The best thing is to make fun of somebody for something that you're
1:53
also guilty of. Yeah. Like my favorite thing to do watching my six
1:57
hundred pound life going sad piece, whereas I am not a slim person.
2:05
So you uh, no pancakes. No, I do enjoy the pancakes.
2:15
We'll not turn those down or a banana upbread. As it turns out,
2:19
I'm a waffle man. Where did we get off filtered so fast? Something
2:25
about Steve? I don't know. We had invited Defined Monkey to join us
2:31
as well as they're no strangers to the theater or improv, but instead of
2:38
it yes or no, they gave me a maybe it is ten minutes passed
2:43
when they were supposed to show. They might still show. I have no
2:46
idea, so we're just gonna roll without them. If they do show,
2:51
we'll just incorporated into the recording and we'll make new teams at that point.
2:54
But for now, it is just one v one Kyla versus Augie. So
3:00
I might as well get to our introductions, and I might as well start
3:04
with our special guest, Kyla, how are you doing today? Doing so
3:07
good? It's a beautiful Saturday. I got my skeleton T shirt on and
3:10
I am ready to play very very cool. I know you're no stranger to
3:15
the play. We've done some plays together. That's where we met in the
3:17
mid nineties. Oh man, when Aaron had luscious curly hair, Steve didn't
3:27
know. I don't think Steve ever had lush this hair. I think at
3:30
best he had lushy hair, stringy hair. He's gonna love listening to this.
3:38
Yeah. So I always ask a question to introduce our our players,
3:44
and the question this week because it's a theater special, Kyla, what is
3:47
your favorite play that you've ever either been in or seen. Well, that's
3:51
got to be Cocy that I was in with Aaron and we were in a
3:54
mental institution. We talked about it a lot. By a monkey. Those
3:59
two uh Simmons were in with us as well, and one of them being
4:02
an actor, one being director, and we had a great fun time.
4:05
Yeah. You know, I like a lot of theater. I like to
4:10
make fun of a lot of stuff. So I just saw a great show
4:14
downtown U at Alleyway called Craig Tar, which was fantastic. That's probably my
4:19
favorite one that I've seen recently. Craig Tar. It was a monster musical
4:25
and it was so well done. It was so interesting and funny and relevant
4:30
and current. Yeah, it was cool. Neat nice two answers. Yeah,
4:35
Cosey is probably it's probably you know what, I'll skip straight to my
4:40
answer. I think it's going to be cozy as well. It was our
4:42
magnum opus. Yeah. I mean we were basically typecast because we were playing
4:46
mental institution patients. Um, so the two of us were right at home,
4:53
and it wasn't the part I wanted, but I definitely I wanted.
4:59
I think i' wanted the snyde dude, the role Mike got okay, okay,
5:05
uh, the combination you know, arrogant boyfriend who's probably cheating on the
5:12
main characters girlfriend with and it was I don't know why I wanted that role.
5:16
I just did for some reason. I think it was because it was
5:18
against type maybe or I just wanted to try something different. But I got
5:21
the quiet guy. I got the manic, pexie violent girl, which was
5:29
kind of cool, and then I absolutely loved it was fun because you just
5:34
had so much fun with it, and I was like, ah, jealous.
5:38
Well the best was Andy at one point said be as loud and shrill
5:41
as possible, and I said, that would hurt your ears. So I
5:45
did my best. I did because I could hear my parents and my backgrounds.
5:48
They are in my ears the whole time, Like, Kyle, you
5:51
gotta not be so loud. But it was the one time when I could
5:55
really just let it with go. Yeah, it was so funny. It
5:58
was fun. I definitely had a lot of fun playing Henry once I once
6:02
I fell in love with him. It took me a while, but I
6:04
did eventually be like, I'm gonna have so much fun with this. Since
6:08
I basically faded into the background for most everything, but I'm like, I
6:13
gotta have fun with this. I came up with bits and all sorts of
6:17
stuff and it was great. Yeah. So yeah, that's probably my favorite
6:21
as well. Call good call. And now I turned my attention to the
6:26
one person here who doesn't have a great amount of theater experience. Well,
6:30
man, I had one, but I'm thinking this costly one. No.
6:35
That my favorite is actually the first one I actually got to go see with
6:40
my mother and my niece was we get to see Beauty and the Beast played
6:45
live, and it was oh my god, it was so wonderfully done.
6:47
I've seen a Beauty and the Beast played live a couple of times since then,
6:51
it never as good as the first one. Yeah, I think it
6:56
was just that cast. Something about that cast they made it work. Yeah,
6:59
I think the production as a whole has a lot to do with it
7:01
as well, you know, because if the director and like the tech people
7:05
aren't vibing, then the actors aren't gonna get Yeah, and they definitely were.
7:09
Like it was one of my best memories from it too, is I
7:14
don't know how it was possible, but by niece during the crescendo of like
7:17
b our guests, she was sleeping through it. They had basically like essentially
7:24
not bottle rockets, but they had like pyrotechnics going off on stage. She
7:28
stopped the whole thing, And how would you miss that? Maybe she was
7:31
like circuit overload, Like she was like, she was younger than me.
7:36
Well she is younger than me, but still yeah, yeah, it tends
7:40
to stay younger than you were. Yeah right, she hasn't hadn't I trot
7:43
me yet? She tries that works? Um, okay, So I'd say
7:48
it's roughly about the time that we should get to the games. What does
7:51
everybody say? Sure? All right, So, because this is a theater
7:55
special, I have three theater themed games for you, and we are starting
8:01
with one of my favorites game one is going to be getting errand. I
8:07
am going to have a list of ten lists of three things, and one
8:11
of them is probably going to be fake. In each list of three,
8:16
you just have to give me the fake thing. If you're right, I'll
8:18
give you a point. But there are going to be at least one time
8:24
during the game during which all three answers are true. They're all real,
8:28
none of them are fake. If you think that is the case, you
8:31
tell me that you are being errand, and if you're right, I will
8:35
give you two points. Obviously, if you're wrong on either the fake or
8:39
being errand, you get nothing, and the player who has the most points
8:41
at the end of the round win the game and earn one episode point.
8:48
So let me pull up the lists and we will get started. Here.
8:54
There's ten of them, and you're each going to guess on each one,
8:56
but I'll just switch the order in which you guess each time, and let's
9:01
start with list number one. So the list of these things are. What
9:07
you have to tell me is which of the three plays I'm about to name
9:11
cannot be found in Concord Theatrical UH formerly known as Samuel French. Their catalog
9:22
of plays and if you successfully find the fake, you'll earn one point.
9:24
And again if you guess that you're being errand and you're right, you're in
9:28
two points instead. So the first list a bad day at Gopher's breath,
9:33
a gorgeous day on math, or a fate worse than death colon or a
9:39
drift on Life's see. I think the math fa okay, okay, I
9:52
think they're all real. You think you're being errand right out the well.
9:58
It seems like an errand thing to do. It does seem like an errand
10:01
thing to do, but not a Stevie thing to do. That is going
10:03
to be a point for Kyla, because the fake one was indeed. A
10:07
gorgeous day on meth just seemed too simple? Was it just seems so real?
10:16
Or so fa so weird? It had to be really well. Cobra's
10:18
breath could be like, you know, halitosis, that's okay? Are you
10:22
plenty of time to catch up? This time? You're gonna give me your
10:24
answer first. Here's list number two. Beautiful Beu La Belle or Virtue's Various
10:31
Vicissitudes. That's one play Blue Wizard slash Black Wizards, or third play blue
10:41
Beard Oh, which one of these is fake? Or are you being errand?
10:48
What do you think of? Oh my god, what do you think
10:50
these plays? I mean, aside from blue Beard, you can probably guess
10:54
what that play would be about. Yeah, but I have questions about the
10:56
other two. Yeah, like like blue Blue Wizard, Black Wi Blue Wizard,
11:03
Black Wizard, one fish to fish, Redfish, blue Fish. Um,
11:11
yeah, that's gonna be like a wizard's take. I like, I
11:16
don't know. I don't know, man, Oh, I know, it's
11:18
like Spider Man turn Off the Dark or some shit. Let's see here.
11:24
I think I think the first one is fake? You think Beautiful Beulah Belle
11:30
or Virtues Various Vicissitudes is fake? Yeah? I think that's just too much
11:33
of a mouthful for people to care. Fair enough, Kyla, what do
11:37
you think? I'm leaning towards being errand, But I'm also I think I'm
11:41
gonna go with my gut and choose the second option again, Blue Wizard,
11:46
Black Wizard. Yeah, that just seems like I mean, yeah, yeah,
11:52
it does sound fun, but unfortunately it's real. But so is the
11:56
first one and the third one. You were being errand, These are all
12:00
real. You just left two points. Oh well, oh well, there
12:05
will be more opportunities. Here is list number three, Kylie, you're gonna
12:09
go first this time. Brother Truckers, Curse you Jack Dalton or Devil Girls
12:16
from Georgia. Brother Truckers curse you Jack Dalton or Devil Girls from Georgia.
12:24
Which one of these is fake? Or are you being errand yet again?
12:28
You go Brother Truckers, Brother Truckers, Auggie. They all sound like country
12:31
songs. Yeah, um, what was the second one? Curse you Jack
12:41
Dalton. Oh that's gotta be real. Yeah, it's gonna be the first
12:46
one. Then you're also going with brother Truckers. Yeah, the fake one
12:50
this time around was Devil Girls from Georgia. But Brother Truckers is real,
12:58
as is curse you Jack Dalton. But you both thought that was real.
13:00
Yeah, all right, new points to anybody. Here is list number four.
13:05
Die Hitler, die doctor death, or don't dress for dinner. Yeah,
13:15
I'll gue you for first this time. Shit not one of the choices,
13:22
dan one, Yeah, yeah that's what she said. I knew somebody
13:30
was gonna go for it. I wish I had a button for that.
13:33
Anyways, man, they all sound real. I think we're being errand this
13:39
time? Do you think you're being errand? Yeah? Okay, very possible,
13:41
Kylo, what do you think I'll go with we're being errand? They
13:43
said, oh, thank you, they're all real. Die Hitler, Die
13:46
is fake. No, I made that up. Hey, I know what
13:50
my next play is gonna be. Yeah. I feel good that you both
13:54
thought that was real. So thank you for making who as I'm the one
13:58
who's torturing the both of you. So Kyle is still in the lead,
14:03
but only one point in the entire game at this point. Here's list number
14:07
five, Kylie Ego first caught in the villain's web or more sinned against than
14:13
sinning my fashion disaster or glamor rama ding dong? Egad, what a cad
14:20
or virtue triumphs over villainy? I'll go with the third one, you think,
14:26
egad, what a cad or virtue triumphs over villainess? Spake well a
14:31
subtitle place, Yeah, yeah, yeah, big time subtitles, Aggie.
14:35
What do you think? I think it's a second one? My fashion disaster
14:37
or glamor rama ding dong? Yeah, like this ain't grace motherfucker. Well,
14:46
I am pleased to inform you that agi you tied the game. It
14:50
was my fashion disaster or glamor Rama ding dong? I made that up?
14:54
How I mean? The other two were so insane I felt like I could
14:58
have gotten away with anything. Um but yeah, just I don't know where
15:05
that came from. Really proud of it. Okay, so it's all tied
15:09
up one point a piece, still half the game to go, So go
15:11
any which way? Here is list number six, Lady Audley's Secret, Lord
15:18
or Arthur Saville's Crime or Lady Remington's Power, and Aggie, you're gonna go
15:26
first this time? What do you think? What was the first one again?
15:31
Lady Audley's Secret a U D l E. Yes, that's what I
15:37
That's what I suspected it was spelled to. Wow, this actually seems like
15:41
they would be real as well. Yeah, I think I think they're all
15:46
real. They were being Aaron. You think you're being Aaron? Yeah?
15:48
Kyla, what do you think I want to go? What was the middle
15:54
one again? Lord Arthur Saville's Crime? See that sounds like something you'd make
15:58
up. Do you think that's fake? Yeah? Okay, it's just English
16:03
enough for something to be something you'd make up. Yeah, And I am
16:06
a big anglophile, but in this case, nobody gets a point. The
16:10
fake one was Lady Remington's power Man. That was believable, super reliable.
16:17
Thank you for the compliment. Than this one should be fun and Kylie,
16:22
you'll go first this time my big gay Italian graduation, my big gay Italian
16:29
wedding, or my big gay Italian funeral? Wow? Which one of these
16:36
is fake? Or are they all real? Being Italian American, we celebrate
16:41
a lot of happy things. But yeah, we don't like no, but
16:48
we do have a lot of fun at funerals making fun of everything that's true.
16:57
Let's go, Let's go to the funerals. Let's go to funerals.
17:00
Do you think my big gay Italian funeral is fake, Aggie, because I
17:04
know the other one has to be real. Yeah, at least two of
17:07
these are real. Yeah, at least two of them. Yeah, at
17:11
least two. So there is some kind of franchise going, right, it's
17:18
gonna be the funeral. You also go with the uh, the fake one
17:22
in this list is my big gay Italian graduation. Yeah, that was because
17:26
like, how do you make a play about your own death? I now
17:30
I have to see this I don't. Yeah, I wonder if it's not
17:33
that person's funeral, Like they didn't die, they just went through it.
17:37
Who knows. Yeah, Wedday everybody's heard about. Oh yeah, yeah,
17:41
it was probably the first one in the series. Oh yes. Anyway,
17:45
onto list number eight, Aggie, you will go first this time a classroom
17:49
in Quantico, Psycho beach party or ten nights in a bar room. Fuck,
18:00
he's gotta be the second one. Psycho beach Party. Yeah, okay,
18:03
yeah, I'm gonna go to the same. You also think psych Yeah?
18:07
I think the others two I think are too plausible. See uh,
18:10
like this is I didn't know it as a play. I knew of Psycho
18:14
Beach Party as a movie, but it is a play, the fake one.
18:18
Here was a classroom in Quantico. Why does itself familiar? Maybe it
18:22
was a Psycho Beach Party is an absolutely insane movie that the stars, among
18:29
other people, Nicholas Brendan from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's in that movie.
18:33
It's weird, it's super weird. But a friend of mine from college
18:37
absolutely loved it and insisted I watch it, and I did so. I
18:41
imagine the play is just as crazy in any event aren't better? Who knows?
18:45
There's no point for anyone. There are two lists left, and it's
18:48
tied up. Anybody could take it with list number nine. Kylie, you
18:52
will go first, the Confession of Lily Dare, the English Only Restaurant,
19:00
or the Great Sebastians. Are any of these fake? Or are you being
19:06
errand? Let's go with the Confession. Let's say the Confession of Lily Dare
19:11
is fake? All right, Ague, what do you think? I think
19:12
I'm getting errand here? You think you're getting errand? And you are getting
19:18
errand? They're all real. Aggie has put it out of contention. But
19:22
we will play the last list anyway, because these are too much fun.
19:26
Aggie, you'll go first, The Great Western Melodrama, The Scheme of the
19:32
Driftless Shifter, or the Scion of Downtown Hoboken. Which one of these is
19:38
fake? Or do you think you're being errand? Again? I think it's
19:41
Scion. Do you think it's the Scion of Downtown Hoboken? Kylo? What
19:45
do you think? I think it's the second one, The Scheme of the
19:48
Driftless Shifter. Yeah, it just seems too properating. Well, regardless of
19:53
how burparty, but it is actually real. The fake one is the scion
19:57
of WHOA last two hours. He comes out of nowhere, move over,
20:04
Anthony Chase. He's going to be reviewing the place. What is happening?
20:08
Am I like absorbing your knowledge? I'm an anti ringer. I came in
20:12
to make it when Steve's not here. I'm actually good. I think I
20:18
think he might just be more used to my bullshit than you are. In
20:22
any event. With four points to one, Aggie has taken the game and
20:26
gets one episode point. He's in the league. Wow, But there is
20:33
a lot more fun left to have. There are more games to play.
20:36
Kyla can easily pick it up. The next game is worth two episode points
20:38
and we'll be back to play it right after this. Hey. I'm Lauren
20:56
and I'm John and we host the Beard Doll Podcast, the podcast where we
20:59
talk about two of the greatest things in the world, beer and weird al
21:03
and a lot of other things. We're funny. Yeah, that's basically what
21:07
I told him to say. Good job, listen, yay, but no,
21:12
seriously, we try a pair of beer weird al song and talk about
21:18
both things and go where the conversation takes us. It's fun. I promise
21:22
you'll like it. Yeah, I mean if you like talking about random things
21:27
as well as you know, fine craft beers and some wonderful craft music.
21:44
Hey man, welcome back. It's time for game two. This game is
21:47
going to be pitched me baby, one more time. I'm gonna give our
21:49
players control of a pop culture property or a special circumstance or both, and
21:56
ask them to deliver a pitch based on that request. The best pitch wins
22:00
the game and earns two episode points for a theater episode. We've got all
22:06
sorts of amazing productions based on other media. Now there's a Pokemon musical.
22:11
To my amazement, there's not one, but two dangan Rompa stage plays.
22:15
There's even a Back to the Future musical on Broadway right now. And I'm
22:22
so jealous of all the money that these are making. So I want you
22:26
to pitch me any pop culture property that would transition well to a stage play
22:33
or musical that has not already been produced. The best pitch wins, Kyles.
22:38
Since you lost the last game, you have the choice. Would you
22:41
like to go first or second? I'll go first, okay, because I
22:44
got one in my head and this is one now and loadus. Yeah,
22:48
friends of mine in a ballet class. We started writing many years ago and
22:52
it was Roadhouse the musical. Oh my god, when Ghost came to town
22:56
as a musical, we were thinking of other celebrated Patrick sweezy things. Yeah.
23:02
Um, we really wanted to have a musical with the guy's throat being
23:06
ripped out, and because that was the starting point. Yeah, and like
23:11
lots of martial arts us with throats being ripped out. Yeah, martial arts
23:15
dance sequences like really awkward stripped tease girl that's just like no one likes her.
23:23
And then like the smart girl because she wears flats, you know,
23:29
like she looks like she's in a shampoo commercial. She's wholesome, but like,
23:36
um, and and also like the vibe of the house at the end
23:40
or okay, are you dying? Okay, So the vibe of the house
23:42
at the end where like the final battle comes. I don't know how familiar
23:47
guys are with Roadhouse, but I mean Roadhouse, Yeah, I know of
23:52
it. I know how it plays out. So there's this have not seen
23:55
the whole thing. There's a scene at the end where they're in this rich
23:56
guy's house and they're basically battling him, and that would have like kind of
24:00
like a like a mouse trap feel like with the like you know, lots
24:04
of secret doors and things in that and there's all these stuffed animals because the
24:08
guy's a hunter and maybe like using them as weapons and whatnot. So,
24:12
um, my actual pitch would be, Hey, remember the eighties, Remember
24:18
going to bars? Remember violence, Let's set it to some music. I
24:23
miss all three of those things. Yeah, remember beer getting poured on people
24:29
bars with peanut peanut shells on the floor. Let's make a music of a
24:33
roadhouse. I mean, it's a celebrated eighties property. It's probably already been
24:37
in the works. I don't know. If not, it should be.
24:40
I think that's a brilliant pitch. Yeah, roadhouse, the music's coming in
24:45
from the city to bust up. It's nobody's gonna put on a stop breaking
24:52
chairs. We're running out of chairs. No more chairs a glass stallone are
25:00
a million dollars. Yeah, sorry, oh my god, it's fantastic,
25:10
man, but it is cheating. Sorry, you got an uphill battle here,
25:14
but oh don't. If anyone can do it, it's not you,
25:18
I know, and don't worry, give me your best pitch. Anyway,
25:22
what do you got? You gotta have something good. Well, here's the
25:25
thing, Aaron about that uphill battle. The thing is, it's only an
25:29
uphill battle. If I'm going uphill, I'm going the other way because,
25:33
in difficult me fashion, I didn't understand the mission and therefore I did my
25:42
own thing. And I don't know if this counts, but I was going
25:47
to pitch a musical about Stevie. Okay, okay, it would be about
25:55
you know what, I will allow it. I mean, I don't know
25:57
that our show is popular enough to qualifies pop culture, but yet, but
26:03
CV is a like like an f G grade celebrity. I guess, to
26:10
the point where some very specific people recognize him on the street and we go
26:15
to New Jersey. He's a mythical creature. He's more asked for, like
26:18
satisfactory. He passed and asked grade celebrity, you only need a sixty five
26:29
to pass. Okay, So but yeah, but um yeah, I kind
26:34
of had some ideas. I have a few of the songs already thought out.
26:38
Okay, I'm going to be about his life, so like we'll start
26:41
off like early off in his life, like, you know, um,
26:45
my eyes are blue, my hair is blond. It used to be long,
26:48
but now it's gone genetic, you know, something like that. Or
26:52
later on in his life when he started getting you know, enlisted all stuff
26:57
like that, he's like, I've got Sam did my ass crab hanging out
27:02
here and old I req um, you know, and wow and then uh
27:11
and then finally like towards the end, like starts, you know, start
27:14
to see like where he is kind of thing like once was a technicky Nichols
27:17
and dimes. Our podcast are getting high all the time with a distinctive giggle
27:21
that cures all well with Stevie's Stevie, what a weird asshole? Okay,
27:26
I think you just wow. You know, it's maybe change up the beat
27:30
a little bit. I had something else on mine for the last one,
27:36
but I can't remember it for the life of me. I mean, basically,
27:38
based on how you started your pitch, I genuinely thought you didn't have
27:41
a chance. Uh, but failing upwards all the time. No, I
27:48
mean that's so good, but Roadhouse was better. Give it to Kyla.
27:52
Yeah. Yeah. As much as I love the idea of a Steevie musical.
27:57
I am around that asshole all the time. At least Roadhouse would be
28:04
something too right, a cleanser, if you will. But the idea was
28:10
clever, the songs were great. Just oh, that's a fantastic pitch,
28:15
Hoggie, Kyla had just come, you know, just give me a middle
28:19
of the road pitch, you would have won. But her pitch was fantastic.
28:22
So that's what. Nothing to be ashamed of. Whatsoever. Kyler wins,
28:27
the game gets two points, two episode points to one. Good news.
28:34
We're not gonna end in tie, so someone's gonna win when we play
28:38
game three. Game three is we're three episode points and it will decide the
28:44
winner when we come back right after this. I'm Richie aka Midnight Agent Raw.
28:56

29:11
Com, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere else that you can listen to
29:15
podcasts shades on. We're all welcome back. It's time for a game.
29:33
You know what, guys, I don't think Indian Karen are gonna make it.
29:37
That's okay. I just got a weird feeling their spirits are here.
29:41
It ain't over till it's over. Oh how great would it be? Oh
29:45
my gosh. As soon as we emerge from the for the comedian gods,
29:52
my mama make it literally right after I say, I don't think we're gonna
29:56
make it anyway, We're gonna play game three. This one, this for
30:00
all the marbles in Game three is going to be dumpster Fire. She's an
30:03
old favorite of ours. I'm going to give our players a topic and they'll
30:07
have to pick something about that topic that they would like to see removed from
30:11
society or ever. The one I agree with most, the one I most
30:15
want to throw into a dumpster fire, will win the point, and the
30:19
first team to get through. The first player to get three points wins the
30:22
game and earns three episode points and wins the episode. So we're going to
30:29
start with topic number one. And given that this is a theater based episode,
30:33
our first topic is going to be theaters, the actual buildings themselves.
30:37
What about theaters would you like to see thrown into a dumpster fire? And
30:41
August, since you lost the last game. I'll give you the choice.
30:44
Do you want to go first or second? I'll go first, okay,
30:45
and we'll alternate as we go about. All right, So, Augie,
30:48
what about theaters would you like to throw into a dumpster fire? You know
30:53
I do well, I once did quite enjoy the old style like a theater.
31:00
How they trying to keep it old and all that stuff, But oftentimes
31:03
I feel like they should probably update a lot of it, like maybe because
31:08
how often do you have like safety issues stuff like that, And like how
31:14
I honestly, not having a theater background, wouldn't know how much that would
31:17
factor. And to have like compromise for old looking stuff but still need to
31:22
like, you know, be safe on the stage kind of thing. So
31:29
let's update update to cosmetic modern updates. Yeah, you know, I just
31:34
want to make sure I understand. You want to throw modern updates into the
31:37
dumpster fire. So you want the old, old, non recit, Yes,
31:45
you want decaying theaters too. My brain is decrepit theaters, theaters that
31:49
have not been updated you think should be thrown in the dumpsters. Yes,
31:52
okay, now I get where you're coming from. Cool. Yeah, that's
31:56
what I was trying to say, can you beat that? Is there something
32:00
about theaters that you wish was removed from society forever? I just had something
32:05
and now it's gone. Give me one second here. Well, I was
32:13
going to say parking, because it seems like parking is always an issue,
32:15
but oh yeah, oh no everything theaters are always like located like downtown r
32:21
right, yeah, parking is impossible, right or it costs an ar mental
32:24
leg. But I remember what I was going to say, um, really
32:28
tired of people and whole theaters have been based on this that I've performed,
32:32
and even uh the whole like there's ghosts in the theater, haunted who everywhere's
32:38
haunted? Everywhere stuff has happened, Like yeah, like stop making that your
32:45
whole personality like it is what it is, like everywhere's haunted, you know,
32:51
and if there's ghosts there, you should just tell them, like hey,
32:52
dude, ghosts, I respect you. You know your dad, move
32:55
on, you know, you shouldn't be like stay here and on us like
33:00
like that. That's just yeah, Like I don't know. I tend to
33:06
think of ghosts as like um as being like tortured souls who like aren't are
33:10
trapped and who need to like move on to the next realm, wherever it
33:14
may be. And it just always makes me sad, where like when I
33:16
see like ghost hunters who are like never leave, like no no ghosts and
33:22
ghost hunting dumpsters. Okay, Um, so I rarely have like an instant
33:31
win answer. That's something that would instantly give you the game. Uh And
33:36
as far as I know, no one's ever actually hit on it, but
33:37
Aggie actually kind of got close. UMT. My instant win answer for theaters
33:44
would have been uncomfortable chairs. Oh yeah, oh yeah, but modern updates
33:49
to theaters actually would help with that. Oh yeah, definitely, like they
33:52
do it. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with Aggie on this one.
33:57
I think I would like theaters without modern updates. I support it to
34:00
be thrown into the dumpster fire. We'll give Abbie the first point, but
34:02
that's okay. There's plenty of game left. You can easily make it up,
34:07
especially with this next category, which I think all you might struggle with.
34:10
The topic for our next discussion is Shakespeare. So, Kyla, is
34:15
there something about Shakespeare that you would like to see thrown into a dumpster fire.
34:21
I really don't like when Shakespeare is a mishmash. It's performed as a
34:27
mishmash of traditional and modern. So like they update the language, but they
34:31
keep the old clothes, or they update the clothes but they use the old
34:35
language. It's like, just do it all modern or all not, Like
34:37
I don't like the combo, and you know, it is what it is.
34:44
Just do it the way it's written. I don't know, I'm a
34:46
fan. I was in a playrate reading Society. Actually, Aaron, you
34:51
did a couple plays with us there, and really, you know, the
34:54
words on the page speak for themselves, you know, just just let it
34:58
lie, let it play, and if if you don't like it, writes
35:00
something better or not even better, just different, you know. And yeah,
35:02
um, so I don't. I don't like um Frankenstein together modern and
35:07
non traditional or traditional and non traditional, that kind of a thing. Okay,
35:13
Aggie, is there something about Shakespeare that you think should be thrown into
35:16
a dumpster fire? Holy shit? Like that was a good answer, really
35:22
a good answer. Oh yeah, Shakespeare. Uh, he was the to
35:30
be or not to be guy? Right, Yeah, he wrote that the
35:34
whole thing. Yeah, I kind of wish I under no because that sounds
35:39
you know what. No, I'm going to be I'm going to be that
35:42
guy. I find him derivative. I mean you wait a minute, you
35:46
find Shakespeare derivative of who Christopher Marlowe? Yeah, the people he stole his
35:55
place from. Okay, well, a lot of his stuff was based on
35:59
his and legends of the time. There are only two that weren't, like,
36:02
based on stuff that was common parlance in society. So you know that's
36:07
true derivative, that is valid. I didn't have an instant win on this
36:13
one, so I was just looking forward to see what you had to say.
36:15
But of the two of you, I think it's quite clear that Kyla
36:17
had the better answer. Absolutely. Yeah. A few things annoy me more
36:22
than an inconsistent tone. Yeah. Um, Like I actually don't mind when
36:28
they leave the language alone, but they but they update the Like the clothes
36:32
like I think I saw, I think I saw performance might have been Shakespeare
36:37
in the Parking, might not of one of the plays. I'm not sure
36:38
which one it was. But they all wore like business suits, yeah,
36:44
ties, and you know, and I got that, and like the decor
36:47
was very like modern business office um um, but you know it still spoke
36:52
to the same kind of power struggle that was going on in the play.
36:57
So I didn't actually mind that they kept the language. But I have also
37:00
seen productions where they just kind of half asset and I can't stand that.
37:07
You can't stand it at also too much potential for garbage point. It easily
37:10
goes to Kayla and yeah, that's it's all tied up one point piece to
37:15
be or whatever. You will go first on this next topic, and this
37:21
time I would like to hear your thoughts on the audience at a theater show.
37:27
What about the audience would you like to see thrown into a dumpster?
37:31
Our audience, not our audience, No, no, no, But if
37:35
you're at a theater, the people around you, the audience at a play
37:39
or a music the disrespect of just throwing your shit on the floor, like
37:45
you know, they have trash bins a like ready for you at the end
37:49
of this play. You just have to put it in there. You don't
37:51
have to just not come and clean it up anyways and just drop everything everywhere,
37:55
playbooks like any and they were rappers, popcorn, yeah, any wine
38:04
or drinks that they might have been having while watching the play. Yeah,
38:07
I get why you might say that, um So, that's pretty good,
38:13
Kyla. Can you beat that? Um Well, it's really something that that
38:16
has always bothered me. Where you're at a musical or even a play and
38:21
somebody like wishes they were up on stage, so they're singing louder than the
38:24
people on the stage, or they're like like acting along with the like you
38:30
know, I've been to plays like that where I want to elbow the person
38:36
next to me and be like, I'm paying for them, not you.
38:38
So I don't like it when people are like trying to take the spotlight off
38:42
the stage. It's like, you're here to watch and be quiet and respectful.
38:46
I was actually um I when I was young. I was freshman in
38:51
high school. I got hackled on stage once during an actual play at our
38:54
little teeny tiny theater, and you know, everybody was like you took out
39:00
like a tramp. I'm like, I'm so gaff I could bear it.
39:01
I just heard that there was a raucus, you know, but um and
39:07
I was in the zone, and you know, it's like you're really gonna
39:09
hackle thirteen year old fourteen year old girl? But whatever it was during a
39:15
monologue, Oh my god. Uh wow. Yeah, um so, I
39:21
don't know if you could tell our our listeners definitely couldn't tell. But during
39:27
Kyla's explanation, my eyes popped open wide. Yeah I have. It's incredibly
39:34
fucked up. Um so. I I have never experienced that myself, Like
39:38
I've never been in a play when someone's done that, um, but I've
39:43
been in the audience when someone's done that sort of. It's just uncomfortable.
39:46
Um. I think the worst, the worst ever was someone had their phone,
39:52
uh and it rang, but they just let it ring, like they
39:59
just sat there or like it'll just get like like it's just constantly range.
40:05
The poor people on stage are trying to carry one. But very quickly,
40:10
like the whole audience started turning on this person, and eventually, like someone
40:17
got off and walked over to the person whose phone it was and was like
40:21
you do something about that, police, and they finally, you know,
40:23
took their phone out and shut it off. And the whole thing could have
40:28
been avoided if you'd listened to the fucking announce a start of the play and
40:31
then the person like allows times, oh I don't know how to use my
40:35
phone. I'm like then don't leave the house. Then you shouldn't be out
40:39
right. You should be in a home. You should be cared for by
40:43
handlers. But yeah, that one knows how to use a phone, that
40:50
one has to go to Kyla unwelcome audience interactions A thousand person Oh man,
40:57
Yeah, and littering is bad. It's terrible, But I will admit I've
41:00
done it myself, and I don't feel particularly good about I don't feel good
41:06
about it. I know it was dumb to do it when I did it,
41:07
but I just still did it and I'm guilty of it. So just
41:10
to protect myself, I have to go with Kyle, I think. But
41:14
it was also a better answer. So Kyle's got two topers, she just
41:16
needs one more, Aggy, you need to get both of these. But
41:21
Kyla is going to go first on topic number four, which is auditioning.
41:25
Um. Personally speaking, it's when there's a long wait to audition. I
41:30
have lost my nerves so many times. Really. Oh yeah, like I'm
41:35
I'm terrible about keeping my nerve. But more so than that, and this
41:38
is this is kind of cheating because it's kind of a double answer. When
41:42
you go to audition for something and it's meaningless because they already have it all,
41:46
like you know, pre cast in their hand yea. So it's like,
41:50
why put all these people through an audition when you know who you're gonna
41:53
you're gonna hire, or you know who you're gonna cast. And so many
41:57
theaters in our area use the same people for the same stiff and I understand
42:02
like ensembles, but you need to mix it up more. And people playing
42:07
against type and playing against character is one of my favorite things to see.
42:12
And you really, I mean there's no way to even your spouse, like
42:15
even your mom, even somebody there you could be tapping into something that you
42:20
don't know about them. Let them shine, let them, you know,
42:23
come in with an open mind and see what they can do with the material.
42:25
So um, being more open minded, not precasting things and not putting
42:30
people through the ringer of sitting there waiting for an audition and freaking out and
42:35
having asked sweat when you know that you're just gonna hire the same person who
42:39
did the same role you know, six months ago. Yeah, so as
42:43
sweat. Okay, Yeah that's fair, Um okay, Aggie, and you
42:49
need this one. Fuck. I was gonna make myself look like an ass
42:51
and look like even more of an ass. Man, I'm gonna be like,
42:57
you know what, this is the one thing I'll throw. I want
43:00
to dumpster fire. There's this little thing I guess that you have to have
43:04
called experience, and and like, come on, I'll give me a shot.
43:09
You don't know it's true though, it's true, like maybe there's something
43:14
in you that nobody has seen before that that you're going to grab onto and
43:16
go rap. So I genuinely because I've never auditioned for anything, so I
43:21
have nosoever. Yeah, I was afraid that my name. Yeah, I've
43:28
been to job interviews, but that's different than auditioning for a play kind of
43:32
kind of is first dates, job interviews, auditions all the same thing.
43:38
Yeah. So so your answer, the one that you're going with to try
43:44
to win the points is, is that you have no experience. Yes,
43:51
that is my final answer. All right, well I've got zero experience.
43:57
By virtue of his waving the white flag, I think, Kylie, you've
43:59
won the one. Yeah. I don't know if I have an answer for
44:06
this one. Really, the thing I was hoping nobody would say would be
44:10
cold reads, because I absolutely love cold reads. I do too, Yeah,
44:21
benefit and for anyone listening, he doesn't know what I'm talking about.
44:22
Um. There are a couple of different kinds of auditions you can get.
44:25
Um. I don't know if you'd call them hot or warm reads, but
44:29
it would be basically when you get the script beforehand and you could read it
44:32
and study it and come up with your own interpretation. Whatnot. Cold reading
44:37
is when you don't see the script until you're there in front of the director
44:39
and it's time to do just do it, and you have to just do
44:43
it pretty much off the top of your head, having just seen the character,
44:45
having just seen the words. Maybe you get a minute or so to
44:49
look it over, but aside from it, you're pretty much just improving on
44:52
the spot. Um. And I far prefer that. I feel like I'm
44:55
way better at cold read auditions than I am at Like I like an audition
45:00
where I have the script and I'm preparing ahead of time, I feel always
45:04
goes worse. Yeah, because I'm not going with my first instinct. I'm
45:07
overthinking it and I'm making it worse, know what i mean. Put the
45:12
ADHD in the driver's seat and what happens? Yeah, yeah, this dude,
45:17
Let let the Jesus take the wheel. I'm on my way, you
45:21
know, I'm just gonna go wherever my mind takes me, and off I
45:22
go, and I just I just enjoyed that way more so. Yeah,
45:27
cold reads would have been a bad answer, but nobody gave it. So,
45:30
but of the two of you, has clearly got the better choice here.
45:35
I sweat far worse. Yeah. It's not what you know, it's
45:37
who you know out there. Yeah, there's a lot of that. You
45:42
could have said that too, Yeah, I mean no experience. Yeah yeah,
45:45
no, um yeah, so that is three topics, which means Kyla
45:51
has won the game, has got three more points, and wins the episode
45:54
five to one. Five to one. I didn't know it was a crushing
46:00
It wasn't a clean sweep. At least you took the first game. I
46:02
mean true, yeah, true, you've never heard of you. Just recognize
46:07
my bullshit a little bit better. Yeah, I just know you. Since
46:12
we didn't get to do the anything's up for grabs. I want to take
46:15
a shot at is there something ague that you also want to throw in the
46:20
dumpster fire about theater? Yeah, that's a good question. As a consumer
46:24
m as someone who's been to see plays and musicals, something that it just
46:31
irritates you about it. Is it having to see my ass and everything because
46:37
Stevie inevitably drags you. Yeah, I mean, I can't remember if you
46:44
came to the last one I did. I don't think I did. I
46:46
don't think I did. It was a radio play of It's a Wonderful Life.
46:52
Oh yeah, I wanted to. You didn't go either? Well it
46:57
wasn't that good. I no, I did enjoy it. It was with
47:01
the fellow contributor of the show, Sarah played the my love interest in that
47:07
one. It was pretty good. Yeah, you know, actually I do
47:09
have one. You do have one? Yeah. I would honestly totally get
47:15
rid of the performing in the audience, like have the performers in the audience
47:21
audience interactions? Yeah, just because if you're like in the nosebleeds, you
47:27
ain't no one. You're not interacting with anything, and too you're not seeing
47:30
anything, you know, So like even if you're down there, if you're
47:34
not ill seats, what are you seeing besides a dozen heads between you and
47:38
the action or what's going on? Um? I was in a stage play
47:43
of Night of the Living Dead many years ago, and we walked through the
47:45
audience and I have a couple of friends who are so scared. And my
47:53
one of my best friends in general, she was there with her you know,
47:57
newly wed her and her husband, and she was like, a basic
48:00
so scary. I'm like, yeah, yeah, so, like it's not
48:06
Sweetheart's theater. Nobody's gonna hurt you. And I'm like, but it's me.
48:09
I just have paint tis. She's so scary. But yeah, I
48:16
mean some things it's hard, like especially um, like if you go see
48:20
the Lion King. Yeah, a lot of times they want they they you
48:22
know, dance up the aisles. But if you're in the nosebleeds, you're
48:27
You're like, I'm missing out. It's it really makes it others people's Yeah,
48:32
so I get that. And oftentimes the nosebleeds are only for those who
48:36
can afford only afford so much cheaper ticket and all that. So it really
48:39
makes those who are more wealthy to be able to experience theater and am more
48:45
you know, into it. Yeah, don't um the people up in the
48:51
balcony sometimes they'll get to see more of like the formation of like the performers.
48:57
They can they can you know, step back and have like a why
49:00
or perspective of it, so you could even look at it that way.
49:01
But like, I'm always going to choose the cheap tickets. So yeah,
49:07
I think I tend to prefer being a pie rather than down in front because
49:13
I always feel like the action is happening and I'm like craning my neck.
49:15
Sea we were like rowing gamphitheaters, like all about looking down on the performance.
49:22
Yea, A large percentage should do that more instead of just what we
49:25
have now in the one sided of you just three to sixty. Well,
49:30
Kyles, since you asked, is there something in general about theaters or about
49:35
theater in general that you would throw into a dumpster fire if you had the
49:37
opportunity to do the wild Card one? Um, just really shake it up,
49:42
like stop doing the same stuff all the time, get weird, get
49:46
experimental. I'm all about, you know, having my face blown off.
49:52
I as an actress or as an audiences not as an audience member. I
49:59
love and to see something where I'm like, I have no idea what this
50:01
is going to be like and I come out and I'm like, WHOA that
50:05
was I might die today. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen some crazy things
50:08
in my in my theater consumption career here, and I love that. I
50:13
love it when it's super weird. There's nothing wrong with you know. I'm
50:16
a Fantashakespeare. I'm a fan of traditional theater. But when you only do
50:22
the stale stuff and you do the same type of stuff all the time,
50:24
it's very boring. And I know that that's what makes money, but like,
50:29
you gotta mix it up sometimes, man. Yeah, true, very
50:34
true. Okay, Well that is going to be it for our show.
