  Speaker 2: You all right, Kubby and Christine? I like to think so,
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: but I hate to say it. They might be bigger.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: He's staying and shaggier in the building. You guys are
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: like best buds. I mean the last time I saw you,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: you're together. I mean you're always together.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: When did this all get started? You two got together.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: It's like this lifetime, been together many lifetimes. Yeah. The
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: first time I met him and we came on stage
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: with this watch gigantic Watch. Did you spend your entire record? Yeah? Okay,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you learn? Now?
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: How are you guys working together at the current moment?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Explain to everybody what you guys are doing together.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Well, I have a show called The Last Ship. It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: a drama a musical and it's going to be at
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the Metropolitan Opera House from ninth of June until the fourteenth.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And I had an cling in my head that Shaggy
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: would be a fantastic the theater performance. His charisma, he declaims,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: like an actor. He has beautiful, rich baritone voice, amazing
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: stage presence, and a sense of mischief. That is off
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: the scale, and so he'd be perfect for this role.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: He plays the ferry man who's we're not quite sure
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: whether he's a ghost or whether he's real, but he's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in and out of all the scenes and he fixes
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: things for people. So it's a perfect role for him.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: We've done it, I think almost sixty times now and
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: my intuition has proved correct. As usual, he's brilliant.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And it's for a limited time, right, I mean, you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: guys are not going to be here long.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, nine to the fourteenth.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: It's nine performances.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: I saw it on Broadway a few years ago.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: How is it changed?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Well, it changes every night. You know. I'm always tinkering
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: with it. It's it's you know, it's it's it's a
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: very organic thing. That's not it's not a museum out
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: of fact. It changes every night. It's it's never finished.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: That's a beautiful thing about theater.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Right, how do you feel Shaggy.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Being an actor as opposed to going on stage and
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: singing and performing. What's so weird? I'm gonna give you
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: a crazy story right now. So he was the one
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: that really was pushing me in that direction, and so
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: when he wrote the part, and I went up to
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: his apartment. We kind of went through a couple of
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: couple of minutes like yeah, and he's kind of coaching
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: me through the whole thing, and we ended up doing it.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Right as that happened, I got an audition for a
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: part in a movie, so I just kind of did
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: the audition for doing it, and then I ended up
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: getting that part. And that part is a movie called
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: Honeymoon and Harry with Jake Chill and Hall and Kevin Costna,
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Sarah Pitcheon and Rita Aura and.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: All goes back to Shaggy Great.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: But the crazy part about that is when we got
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the part, they were like, oh, you got the part,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: but there's a little bit of a bad news. It's
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: being shot during the time we're doing the Last Ship
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: and I've already committed to the Last Ship. So I
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: was like, all right, well it wasn't meant to be.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Then my manager called me back. I said, you not
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: guess where they're shooting. I'm like where, Brisbane, Australia, the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: same place that we were doing the Last Ship, same city,
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: so at the same time. So at some point I would,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you know, do the movie and then do the Last
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: ship sting.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Shaggy touched on rox Anne earlier, and I wanted to
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: bring up a really cool story about this song that
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you brought up another interview. But I want our listeners
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: to hear it if you could tell the story about
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the piano at the beginning of Roxanne that was not
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: supposed to be there. Let me play you the beginning
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: of Roxanne by the Police. Yeah, okay, and then you laugh.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You know, so that piano was not supposed to be there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Well, it was a very small studio and the vocal
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: mic was set up right next to the piano. I
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: thought the lid was closed, and so just at the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: beginning of the song, I thought I'd take a little
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: rest put my butt on the piano lid. But in fact,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the piano lid was open, and just before I started
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the singing, I hear this very atonal chord and I
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: started to laugh. But we kept it in.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Your butt made a record.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's actually better than my hands playing it, to be
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: frank with you, but.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I used to wonder we never heard that piano really
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: again except the very beginning of the song. And now
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you know it was an accident. You decided to keep it, Yes,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: A very special day.
