  Speaker 4: I think though somebody's told me no, so, and sometimes
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: I'll get colors and sometimes a very hard memory will
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: come in if like a word triggers me, like the
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: other day, somebody said green, and I remember painting my
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: face green.
• 4:00
  Speaker 6: N yeah, I.
• 4:01
  Speaker 8: Was wondering about that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 7: Is that like because this accident happened during that time?
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: You know, it's so draining to play this role. But
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: then on Broadway do you just, like in your sleep,
• 4:09
  Speaker 7: do you ever remember the show?
• 4:11
  Speaker 8: Does it come to you? What's going on?
• 4:12

  Speaker 4: I'll do sleep races.
• 4:18

  Speaker 12: Hello, Hello, Hello everyone.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: My name is Beverly Star and I played Alphaba on
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Broadway for exactly one night, twenty four hours. I was
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Idina Menzel's understudy, and I had one glorious night on
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: the stage. Well technically three quarters of the way through.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: She came back and she she said, you know what,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: never mind. She brought her fever down by sheer force
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: of will, and she pulled.
• 5:43
  Speaker 12: Me off the stage.
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: You're the one night Alphaba.
• 5:46
  Speaker 12: Yes, they called me one night Alphabe.
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: But you got to do define gravity.
• 5:50
  Speaker 12: I got to do define gravity.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: That you did half of it, right, you did half
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: of the defining all right?
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: The lift right right?
• 5:58
  Speaker 12: We didn't Yeah, we didn't. We didn't get to do
• 6:00
  Speaker 12: the lift.
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: Well uh yeah, But it's that your career often, isn't
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: it It did?
• 6:05
  Speaker 12: I got to be the understudy for millions of women.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Wow, millions.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: Unbelievable.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I've had like quite a if my math
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: is correct.
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: You know, I was an idea and idea was on
• 6:27
  Speaker 12: Oh gosh, what year is it.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I also don't look at me. I don't know.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: I just don't know. It's okay, but you listen.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Yes, many many, many, many, many many shows. I've been
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: the understudy for several concurrent shows running at the same time.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, if it's been twenty years, you probably would have
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: need to be an understudy every night for a thousand women.
• 6:54
  Speaker 8: Not affecting the math.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Even we're counting, I mean we're counting, you know, uh,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: ensemble roles. We're counting smaller roles were we're counting everything
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: because I was a swing for everything. Because I have
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: a photographic memory, I remember everything. You.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Jackman said, understudies of the lifeblood of Broadway, and he
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: said that, and.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: I'm so glad he said that, because it's exhausting, you know,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to be an understudy, and not just Broadway but also
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: on the West End at the same time.
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: So those flights, it's it's crazy what you do.
• 7:35
  Speaker 12: It's it's really so if.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Dame Judy Dench needs someone that night, I have to
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: hop on a plane immediately for her.
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: I'm very versatile.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I think she hopped on Cats. She was on Cats
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: for a couple of weekends. Yeah, yeah, and so I
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: I you know, it's funny. I only went on one
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: night for her. So I hopped on a plane. I'd
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: hop on a plane right away because that's an eight
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: hour flight. Got to Royal Theater and she said, you
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: know what, never mind, my scratchy throat went away.
• 8:16
  Speaker 12: So I got back on the plane because I was
• 8:18
  Speaker 12: I needed to be a Skylar sister that night, coming night,
• 8:22
  Speaker 12: So I was back on the plane.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 8:26
  Speaker 12: But I wouldn't have it any other way.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Also, I saw you had like a one line part
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: on Missus Mazel. That was amazing.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Yes, yes, And I was actually an understudy for that
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: actress for the Coast Star.
• 8:38
  Speaker 12: Yeah, for the Coast Star. They had an understudy for
• 8:40
  Speaker 12: the Coast Star because TV's doing that now.
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, well, you know it was.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It was still kind of COVID was still a thing,
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: and so they were being really careful on Mazel.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Wait.
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: I think I remember this because you walked out in
• 8:54
  Speaker 9: a pink dress, and then I remember another actress came
• 8:57
  Speaker 9: back in that same being dressed, so did somebody.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so technically I was a co star and she
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: was a guest star because she got five lines and
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I got one.
• 9:06
  Speaker 12: Because she said, you know what, never mind.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: I actually injected her with some steroids and her COVID.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: She tested pause or she tested negative within thirty minutes, and.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: So she was like, I'll just if you test positive,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: but I'm test negative within thirty minutes.
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: They say, legally it's gone, like human.
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: Medicine will get better science behind all of this, I
• 9:31
  Speaker 13: make famous women better almost to me, because they don't
• 9:35
  Speaker 13: want to see me shine.
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: For even a moment's thank you.
• 9:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah, So I we've now that it's so great to

  Speaker 5: So I don't know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: I was Alphaba on tour in So I was the

  Speaker 7: allowed to talk about, I did not reprise the role
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: in the twenty twenty one season when Broadway was.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Coming back and copy that I say like it was like,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: I felt like your posts around that time were so
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: brave because everybody was talking about how many people were
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: dying because of COVID and you could not stop talking
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: about how you had lost Alphaba.
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: It brought a tear to my eye.
• 11:13
  Speaker 7: It's the same thing, right, Like it's a death. Yeah,
• 11:17
  Speaker 7: like a grandfather dies and you can't play alphaba. That's
• 11:22
  Speaker 7: not comparable.
• 11:23
  Speaker 12: To tell you, that is what made the pandemic real
• 11:26
  Speaker 12: for me.
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Thank you because.

  Speaker 12: Kind of put it into terms that I could understand
• 11:32
  Speaker 12: why you hear these.
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Abstract, absolutely tragic figures. But it wasn't until you stepped
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: forward and said I've lost this thing, I've experienced this
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: loss that I really understood.
• 11:41
  Speaker 12: You know, we have to work together, workers, actors.

• 15:58
  Speaker 5: it was.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: It was something that my mom did or something like that,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Like I think it was like my mom tells this
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: great story about me as a child singing a song,
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: and I can't remember what she would say, and I
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: can't remember what song it was. I don't remember my
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: mom's face. But other than that, that's I think how
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: I got in. But you said we went to college together.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: You remember what I was like then?
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: My god, it's so sad what happened to you because
• 16:23
  Speaker 6: you were so smart?
• 16:24
  Speaker 8: What different now after the memory?
• 16:27
  Speaker 10: Well, you just don't remember like you. I remember you
• 16:29
  Speaker 10: like learned like twelve languages while we were there.
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: So that's what I remember. I remember learning the idea
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: of twelve languages. And that's hard for me because sometimes
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: I don't even know what language I'm speaking. The languages
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: will just come through me. So the other day I
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: was in a Thai restaurant and I just started speaking
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: perfect tide it was, and I was confused, My poor husband.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: You're like a Jason Bourne time.
• 16:51
  Speaker 4: Yes, And that is what happens sometimes on stage, I'll
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: just wake up and I'll be performing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: And I go, what the heck just happened?
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Incredible, that's good to know.
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: I was fun in college. You know you were a blast.

  Speaker 10: had ballet together and was she good?
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: She was good?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: That's awesome.

• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Role, you know.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: It's funny.
• 32:11
  Speaker 12: I'm not picky. Actually, I would love to be on stage.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: My goal. My goal is.
• 32:18
  Speaker 12: Five acts by fifty.
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: So I want to be in.
• 32:22
  Speaker 12: Five acts of a show by the time i'm fifty.
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: The same show or just different shows together.
• 32:28
  Speaker 12: Oh my, I really hope it's the same show.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Well, be careful with that, hope.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 32:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we'll hurt.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: Have five acts.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: Except for Shakespeare, they kind of jump to a seven
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: or three act structure.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
• 32:45
  Speaker 12: Maybe, well, maybe I'll shorten it. Maybe I'll shorten it
• 32:48
  Speaker 12: to three.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: But I would love I would love if plays would
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: just divide at five ways. I have five fingers on
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: my hands, I have five toes on my foot. It's
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: the golden number, five golden reads. It's just a better
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: number than three.
• 33:06
  Speaker 12: Rule of fives. That's how it should be. I'm sorry.
• 33:08
  Speaker 12: This is my only political opinion, a great one, and it's.
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: A tough one.
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: What's your dream wrong?
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Political?
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: Jenevi Jenevieves Jenney, what's your dream rong?
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: Wow? Motherhood interesting?
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: You know what, though we do get confused. She was
• 33:25
  Speaker 7: on the other tour that was going on at the
• 33:26
  Speaker 7: same time.
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: As me, dream roll, you know. For me, like it
• 33:29
  Speaker 8: comes down to, like, I would just love. I'd love
• 33:31
  Speaker 8: to originate a role started no one's done before. Or
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: I think this time around in Wicked could be really fun.
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: To go in for Glinda.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Do you know, well, I think that's really cool. And
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I've heard about this musical going on. I think you'd
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: be grateful. They're doing Hot Crossbuns the musical and they're
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: looking for a baker and you could totally originate that.
• 33:58
  Speaker 8: It's so interesting because I wouldn't pair that role.
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: I've seen it. I've seen the breakdown for it. I
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: wouldn't compare that to Glinda.
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: So very cool that you thought of me for that,
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: But it's originating role.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: I thought it was great for you. It's a Baker
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: that just.
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: Bakes Phoebe One do I give off Baker.
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: Thought?
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: Because I'm like, where's it coming from?
• 34:21
  Speaker 12: Strange when you have an opinion.
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: Because it's like, where did that come from?
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: You know?
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: No, I saw.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: It's like a fragment of my memory is reading either
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: a billboard or an email that says Baker wanted for
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: new musical Hot Crestpunds, and immediately your face came to
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: my head.
• 34:36
  Speaker 8: So I do really appreciate that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 7: I think it would be I mean, I've I've heard
• 34:42
  Speaker 7: decent things about the show.
• 34:44
  Speaker 8: I'm not much of a Baker in real life, but
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: you know what that's that's being an actor, right, Like
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: we don't need to play those cards, have you?
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: Guys?
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: Are any of you going out for COVID nineteen the musical?
• 34:55
  Speaker 8: Absolutely not. After after it threw me for my auffle
• 34:58
  Speaker 8: the time, I would never support that.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 35:00
  Speaker 12: I just think it's so rude that they require you
• 35:03
  Speaker 12: to have COVID.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: To be in the music.
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: Well, it's crazy. I wasn't gonna go out for it,
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: but I just got told by my reps. I being
• 35:11
  Speaker 9: I have a producer session for Fauci and I don't
• 35:15
  Speaker 9: know why that's That would be amazing, sure, but I
• 35:22
  Speaker 9: don't sound like you'm at all.
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: Is the Fauci song? It's like, what is it? Five
• 35:27
  Speaker 6: key changes?
• 35:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah?
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: Exactly. It's really it's like I've seen this before. I've
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: seen this before. I'll seen before. We'll see it again.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: We'll see it again. We'll see it again. We'll see
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: it again. We'll see it again. We'll see it again.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: And that's where I can close. Close. Okay, I'm on
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: it in my own voice. Nobody tell me how to
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: treat my body.
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Okay again, you got it, you guys. This has just
• 35:53
  Speaker 6: been so incredible. But I missed my son so much.
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: Oh you're going back to Broadway.
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: See that's every night I am on Broadway?
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: Or is he on me? Your child? You shouldn't be.
• 36:11
  Speaker 6: That, So every single night of my life I'll always be.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: On sleeping on your child in a way.
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: In a sense.
• 36:23
  Speaker 9: Okay, Well, maybe some advice should we give advice to
• 36:27
  Speaker 9: the to the young, not not for other advice.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: I don't care about that.
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: Maybe advice to a young girl who's maybe working in
• 36:35
  Speaker 9: a community theater, someone who wants to dreamer.
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: Future.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: What do we tell them.
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: I don't think you should tell them. I really think
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: you might want to just sleep.
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: Just what I what I will say is be careful
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: of your dreams because they just might come true and you.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: Might get what you wanted. But it might be a
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: monkey's paw situation. I won't elaborate any further.
• 37:07
  Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, monkey's paw Alphaba.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh god, its monkeys.
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: It could be well.
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: I heard that story about your brother, right he got
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: trapped in the mm hmm. He got trapped in that factory.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: He lost his arm in that factory. And then your
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: family got paid ten thousand dollars.
• 37:28
  Speaker 8: Interesting you remember this because.
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I like change. I like dollars, but it would cost
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: this country.
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: Is crazy when you get ten thousand dollars.
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: People.
• 37:42
  Speaker 10: It's what's so amazing to me is that all of
• 37:46
  Speaker 10: us here are so much better than we were before
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: we got the role of Alphaba.
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: But also look at all of us. We are all
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: hanging in there too.
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: Life continued physically, taking a lot of beatings take emotionally.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: I think all of us have learned what it's like
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: to just like be out there.
• 38:05
  Speaker 10: So if I was talking to a little girl, I
• 38:07
  Speaker 10: would say, I would say buck up, I would say
• 38:12
  Speaker 10: open your eyes. I'd say never stop, and I'd say
• 38:16
  Speaker 10: get ready, kid, because things about to get heavy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: I would say, I would tell yeah, I'm sorry that
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: that followed that, I would say, don't be afraid to
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: dream big, be yourself.
• 38:33
  Speaker 12: Just work hard.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: And when you're waiting in the wings to see if
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: someone drops dead, try to avoid the light a little bit.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Try and see where the light is hitting and make
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: sure you're in the shadow.
• 38:45
  Speaker 12: That's an easy way. If the audience can see you.
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: If you could see the audience, the audience can see.
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: So your advice to these young girls is avoid the limelight.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Well, not avoid it, but when you are asked to
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: be off to the side of the limelight, there are
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: certain you know, things that will make you look more professional.
• 39:06
  Speaker 12: Wow, you guys, I probably have to go soon.
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: I'm a swing for the entire cast of Mamma Mia
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: and they all just got sick.
• 39:15
  Speaker 6: How will you do that? Show by yourself that this
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: could be huge, This could be five acts contribute to
• 39:21
  Speaker 6: a Royal Caribbean cruise.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna I the helicopter is picking me up
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: from the studio and I'm going to be dropped on
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: the cruise and I'm just going to have to figure
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: it out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: So in less, we better hurry up with this advice.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: Less all fifty women recover from food poisoning immediately.
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: I'm going to be every role in Mamma Mia tonight.
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Ah.
• 39:43
  Speaker 8: I wish we could see it, Beverly.
• 39:45
  Speaker 5: Oh Man, Jennevie. What's your advice?
• 39:48
  Speaker 8: I would say, don't read the comments.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: A piece of advice.
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: Don't read That's so good.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Because you were getting a lot of negative comments about
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: your posts about COVID.
• 39:58
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so I turned them off. There's one way to
• 40:01
  Speaker 8: do it. Block whoever you want. Blockings, blockings not taboo.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Right, what I say, I.
• 40:07
  Speaker 7: Don't think it is don't watch the bootlegs because you're
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: not gonna like faces you make and the tiktoks and
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: just put it out bootlegs left right, and it's going
• 40:18
  Speaker 7: it's gonna trickle down, right, you know, it starts the
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: Broadway Regional Theater, Community Theater.
• 40:21
  Speaker 8: And I just don't want the kids to compare themselves.
• 40:24
  Speaker 9: To the owner, to thank you. I was doing Wicked.
• 40:28
  Speaker 9: I was I was playing off of a few weeks ago,
• 40:31
  Speaker 9: and I saw you come in with a big gate
• 40:32
  Speaker 9: and you kept whacking people's phones in the back.
• 40:38
  Speaker 8: Thank you care about theater etiquette.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: There's a giant cane whacking phones, flying onto the screen
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: under the stage.
• 40:46
  Speaker 12: Littered with phones.
• 40:48
  Speaker 13: It had to be.
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know why everyone wants to the thing is.
• 40:52
  Speaker 8: The Gershwin is my home right.
• 40:54
  Speaker 7: I've never performed in it, but being a part of Wicked,
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: it's like that's that's our home.
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: You live there, but I care about it like it
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: would be my home right.
• 41:04
  Speaker 7: And so when I see people record, when I see
• 41:07
  Speaker 7: these eleven year olds record, I ran back out to
• 41:11
  Speaker 7: the cab that was waiting for me that I have
• 41:12
  Speaker 7: on Sandby, because if I want to leave to go
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: to my organization, I gotta go. And I grabbed the
• 41:17
  Speaker 7: cane and I just started whacking. And they're fine. The
• 41:21
  Speaker 7: kids are fine. If anything, I gave a couple my
• 41:24
  Speaker 7: number to see if they were shy and if they
• 41:27
  Speaker 7: wanted to work on their abilities.
• 41:29
  Speaker 8: Because we all love theater. Everyone in the theater loved theater.
• 41:32
  Speaker 10: So stry Sand tweet at you and said, who's the
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: person with the cane that keeps assaulting my audience numbers?
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: And it's nice of you to give them your number,
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: but it's anymore.
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: I hope they have parents.
• 41:46
  Speaker 7: Sure, No, And it wasn't Barbara streisand it was Patty Lapone.
• 41:52
  Speaker 7: I've heard big tweeters and she didn't like that I
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: was whacking my cane around.
• 41:57
  Speaker 8: Which is so funny because she yells at people from
• 41:59
  Speaker 8: the stage and I thought if anyone was going to
• 42:01
  Speaker 8: get me, it was going to be Patty.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 42:04
  Speaker 7: So I hope one day I can have a sit
• 42:06
  Speaker 7: down with her similar to this one and just pick
• 42:08
  Speaker 7: a brain a little bit. But yeah, I haven't met
• 42:10
  Speaker 7: her in person yet, but she has tweeted at me
• 42:13
  Speaker 7: four times, very angrily, and.
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: I just feel, No it did that is I would
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: kill for That's so cool.
• 42:21
  Speaker 8: I did put it on my resume, just special notes.
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: That's really cool. What's your advice?
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Oh, I already gave it. Oh, Phoebe, what's your advice?
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess avoid hikes. Something happened on the hike
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: where I'm trying to think of the word I'm sorry.
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: I want to like eat, but like even if a
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: rock falls, you've kind of got to deny it.
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: Or like, oh my god, what's that thing falling from
• 42:47
  Speaker 12: the ceiler.
• 42:48
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, look out, it's using the force of
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: what is that gravity. I've gotta defy it.
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: Defy it.
• 42:55
  Speaker 4: Phoebe, Oh my gosh, it fell right next to me.
