- 0:38Speaker 2: Broad attribute to him, that's right, Yeah, Jonathan Jonathan Groff
- 0:42Speaker 2: played him, but he's been he left a few months ago.
- 0:44Speaker 2: It's been running for about a year and a half.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Big hit.
- 0:46Speaker 1: I would love I would love to see that. I
- 0:49Speaker 1: would absolutely, I think I'd enjoy it. I don't know
- 0:51Speaker 1: why to see it. I mean because, I mean it's
- 0:54Speaker 1: part of it is the pretty short musical legacy Splash Splash,
- 0:59Speaker 1: back the Knife. There's a few songs in there. He
- 1:01Speaker 1: had a really good variety show in the early early
- 1:07Speaker 1: seventies and with Dean Martin and the production team. You're right,
- 1:10Speaker 1: Broadway tribute things are you aware of? I don't know
- 1:14Speaker 1: what's called. There's a tribute to Connie Francis that is
- 1:18Speaker 1: that is that has a that has a run Underway
- 1:21Speaker 1: and Broadway and.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Such.
- 1:25Speaker 1: No, no, there there is Hang on a second, there's
- 1:28Speaker 1: not a tribute to Connie Francis and a Broadway but
- 1:31Speaker 1: and there is a story. And you've dragged me down
- 1:33Speaker 1: a rap. It is an eminem extra style rabbit hole,
- 1:36Speaker 1: because there's a story. When you and I talk a
- 1:39Speaker 1: little bit about what audiences do at Broadway shows and
- 1:42Speaker 1: things like that, yelling out here, I've got a yelling
- 1:46Speaker 1: out story. So did we ever talk about the pit
- 1:50Speaker 1: the hospital show? Did you finally get a teaste for that?
- 1:52Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't like it?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Did you? Man?
- 1:55Speaker 2: I don't like it. I've tried it. I don't like
- 1:56Speaker 2: it. It's it's too formulaic for me. It's the same thing,
- 1:59Speaker 2: the stern administrator and the angst written doctor and all
- 2:04Speaker 2: he's doing knowing while he's trying to tap into the
- 2:06Speaker 2: er fame and make it a big deal.
- 2:08Speaker 1: So, okay, so here's the reason I bring it up. Okay,
- 2:11Speaker 1: you probably don't remember so much. There's a character named
- 2:14Speaker 1: doctor Trinity Santos. She's edgy, and she's played by a
- 2:17Speaker 1: wonderful actress named Issa Brionas who can sing, girl, kid,
- 2:22Speaker 1: just sing, she can sang. She's incredibly incredibly talented. So
- 2:27Speaker 1: she is appearing on Broadway right now?
- 2:30Speaker 2: Is it Rocky Horror?
- 2:32Speaker 1: No, it's the Connie Francis thing. It's called Just at
- 2:35Speaker 1: the Time. It is called Justine. That's the show. That's
- 2:37Speaker 1: not Connie Francis, that's Bobby Daryl. No, hang on a minute,
- 2:40Speaker 1: what whoa you know?
- 2:42Speaker 2: What? What is? Are? You? Are? You?
- 2:43Speaker 1: Did you have a girl strong?
- 2:44Speaker 2: Hey? Ronda? Is there burning toast in the smell in
- 2:47Speaker 2: the in the studio?
- 2:48Speaker 1: Where is she talking? She she plays Connie Francis. You're
- 2:53Speaker 1: a in the Bobby Sharon music in the in the
- 2:55Speaker 1: Broadway jukebox musical Just in Time, which is about Bobby Darrek.
- 3:00Speaker 1: How wild is this that you've brought me around today?
- 3:03Speaker 2: So how wild is it that you think it's the
- 3:05Speaker 2: Connie Francis music.
- 3:06Speaker 1: But because it just didn't seem like there was enough
- 3:09Speaker 1: of a body of work to have a complete Connie
- 3:11Speaker 1: Francis music.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So she's mad and people are yelling out and singing
- 3:13Speaker 2: a lot.
- 3:14Speaker 1: But here's the thing. If you had hung in there
- 3:17Speaker 1: for one of the finest medical dramas in TV history,
- 3:20Speaker 1: they have an Internet meltdown, So they've got to do
- 3:23Speaker 1: everything manually, while meanwhile, the regular rush of the er continues,
- 3:30Speaker 1: and so it's all about finishing the charts, finishing the charts,
- 3:33Speaker 1: finishing the charts, and people are every five. So she's
- 3:35Speaker 1: about to pass out from fatigue. I wonder about life
- 3:38Speaker 1: in the er anyway, how people even do that? And
- 3:41Speaker 1: it's like, hey, you know, hey Santos, did you finish
- 3:43Speaker 1: your charts? Did you finish I'm trying. I'm trying. I
- 3:45Speaker 1: got this, I got that. I need you to do this,
- 3:47Speaker 1: but I'm trying to finish my charts. So finishing the
- 3:49Speaker 1: charts is a big deal for her character in the
- 3:52Speaker 1: pit on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theater,
- 3:55Speaker 1: she's on stage in the Jukebox musical Just in Time,
- 3:58Speaker 1: portraying Connie Francis, and during moments of silence on stage,
- 4:03Speaker 1: the Broadway audience yells at her, Hey finished with those charts.
- 4:09Speaker 1: She's mortified, right well, and now she's lecturing them and
- 4:14Speaker 1: tell them not to I thought she said that. She
- 4:16Speaker 1: she at no point, and it's kind of funny. What
- 4:19Speaker 1: do you do? You can't break, you can't stop what
- 4:22Speaker 1: you're doing, you know, look at what you're.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Patty Lapon Teddy Lapone yells at audience members. Patty Lapone
- 4:29Speaker 2: yells at audience members if their phones are open or something.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Turn that phone off.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm shining up here. She's a nasty something to do that.
- 4:37Speaker 1: It's kind of but she's had a lot to say
- 4:39Speaker 1: in interviews off the stage about that. So simple rule
- 4:42Speaker 1: of life. Don't it's not your show, it brought your
- 4:45Speaker 1: I know you paid for the ticket, but don't yell
- 4:48Speaker 1: stuff at people of verge on Broadway. I assume that
- 4:51Speaker 1: Broadway mic, that Showbiz Mike would give me some some
- 4:54Speaker 1: backing on that.
- 4:54Speaker 2: Well, there's big there's there's big drama about it. The
- 4:58Speaker 2: big controversy now is they've done a val of the
- 5:00Speaker 2: Rocky Horror Picture Show on.
- 5:01Speaker 1: Broadway and you're supposed to react, but.
- 5:04Speaker 2: They don't want them to react. It's theater. It's it's
- 5:07Speaker 2: like the actors getting thrown and you know who's funny
- 5:10Speaker 2: is And I saw it about a month ago. Ra
- 5:12Speaker 2: J Dratch plays the narrator and she is wonderful. So
- 5:18Speaker 2: she plays along with the audience because the narrator role
- 5:21Speaker 2: in Rocky Horror, if you remember, remember the guy with
- 5:23Speaker 2: the pipe and he's like narrating.
- 5:25Speaker 1: I chaven times in College and the right in College
- 5:28Speaker 1: Park on route me too.
- 5:29Speaker 2: So so so the audience yells out because they're used
- 5:32Speaker 2: to the movie. And that's kind of the the way
- 5:34Speaker 2: Rocky Horror is done in movie theaters, but in live theater,
- 5:38Speaker 2: then the actors are all getting thrown because they're screaming
- 5:41Speaker 2: stuff out and the actors have to stop and then
- 5:43Speaker 2: they got to start over. So the theater so so
- 5:45Speaker 2: the so the theater. So the boy, you are chatty
- 5:48Speaker 2: to it? What I like to say about it? You're
- 5:50Speaker 2: in such a weird mood you are. I want to
- 5:52Speaker 2: go back to Connie for the Connie Francis Musical again.
- 5:54Speaker 2: So the problem is the theater is like the producers
- 5:59Speaker 2: are like, can you please respect the actors and not
- 6:03Speaker 2: call out? And then the theater the fans are like,
- 6:05Speaker 2: wait a minute, is Rocky horror? We won't have fun?
- 6:09Speaker 1: Point I do you think we went to this thing
- 6:11Speaker 1: because it was good? It was campy, It was terrible,
- 6:15Speaker 1: It was so bad.
- 6:16Speaker 2: It was good.
- 6:17Speaker 1: Frankenfurter and Brandon Janet Rode, Susan Sarandon all day back
- 6:21Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy five, and the whole thing was like
- 6:24Speaker 1: great Scott and you throw a roll of toilet paper,
- 6:27Speaker 1: armloads of stuff that you would throw at the screen. Now,
- 6:30Speaker 1: throwing at the screen is one thing. Throwing at live
- 6:33Speaker 1: actors yelling at a lot the whole thursdays quite another.
- 6:36Speaker 1: So I do understand the quandaries.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Give me, give me ten seconds on one more TV
- 6:41Speaker 2: reference because I just read a review this morning. Apparently
- 6:45Speaker 2: you know Beth Dutt in his back and rip for.
- 6:48Speaker 1: Here Dunton Ranch coming Friday. I cannot wait.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Well wait, I can't trust, I don't. I hate The
- 6:54Speaker 2: Daily Beast because it's such a joke about how much
- 6:57Speaker 2: they bag on Trump, but they do pop culture stuff.
- 7:00Speaker 2: The review says it's finally the first Tailor Sheridan spinoff
- 7:04Speaker 2: that is probably as good, if not better than the original.
- 7:07Speaker 2: They they raved about A Beast.
- 7:10Speaker 1: Said that I was braced for bad news coming. They
- 7:12Speaker 1: loved hates America, hates Trump, hates you and me, but
- 7:15Speaker 1: they love value. They loved Sheridan's world is very It's
- 7:20Speaker 1: not necessarily maga, but it's it's about maga.
- 7:26Speaker 2: Beth Beth Dutton is a Trump supporter. I guarantee you
- 7:29Speaker 2: she voted for Trump. She voted for Trump five times.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Beth dunn't he did? Everybody needs a Beth Dutton in
- 7:35Speaker 2: their lives.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Wait for Dutton ranch starting on front of me. I
- 7:38Speaker 1: mean some of the previews. It looks fantastic. Hey, I
- 7:41Speaker 1: can't wait to dive in. You mentioned data centers yesterday,
- 7:44Speaker 1: and what boy. It is a hot topic here in
- 7:46Speaker 1: South Carolina as well as well as the redistricting. Now
- 7:49Speaker 1: here's what's supposed to happen with the redistricting today at
- 7:52Speaker 1: five oh one pm, Governor McMaster has signaled he is
- 7:56Speaker 1: going to call for a special session, bring them back
- 7:58Speaker 1: into session. If they do that, they don't need to.
- 8:03Speaker 1: All they need is a simple majority. They don't need
- 8:05Speaker 1: two thirds. And if that's the case, we're going to
- 8:07Speaker 1: get an extra congressional seat. And bye by Jim Clyburn.
- 8:11Speaker 1: So that looks good here in South Carolina. Nancy Mace
- 8:14Speaker 1: is starting a conversation about the data centers controversy, and
- 8:19Speaker 1: you brought this up yesterday. These data centers are popping
- 8:23Speaker 1: up all over America and they need to to support
- 8:25Speaker 1: the AI infrastructure. And these huge facilities.
- 8:29Speaker 2: Require tons of electricity, require tons of water. They are
- 8:34Speaker 2: allegedly unsightly and kind of unseemly and it's the old
- 8:38Speaker 2: not in my backyard. Nobody wants a data center in
- 8:41Speaker 2: their backyard, but they got to go somewhere. If we're
- 8:46Speaker 2: if the country is going to support this whole AI phenomenon,
- 8:51Speaker 2: they need all these massive data centers. And Joe and
- 8:55Speaker 2: I were talking about this morning. He said, Oh, they've
- 8:56Speaker 2: been hearings. People are flipping out. They don't want them
- 8:59Speaker 2: in their commune. So, you know, and I don't know
- 9:02Speaker 2: where you take it? What do you do with it?
- 9:03Speaker 2: We're going to shut down the whole AI movement because
- 9:05Speaker 2: people don't want data centers in their community.
- 9:07Speaker 1: How does know but right into my wheelhouse. Guess where ultimately?
- 9:11Speaker 1: I mean it would take a few years to be
- 9:13Speaker 1: able to kind of do this, but you know where
- 9:15Speaker 1: some of these things may ultimately be where your neighbors space,
- 9:20Speaker 1: my friend space for orbital data center. No, not Mars,
- 9:27Speaker 1: two hundred million miles away. Orbit would be fine.
- 9:31Speaker 2: Mars, put them on Pluto, put them, put them, put
- 9:34Speaker 2: them on it.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Pluto would not be far enough for some of these people,
- 9:38Speaker 1: and some of the local councils. People are showing up
- 9:40Speaker 1: at local council meetings say we don't want it. We
- 9:42Speaker 1: don't want it. We don't want it, we don't want it.
- 9:44Speaker 1: Council votes and they approve it because they love they
- 9:48Speaker 1: love the Oh, it's.
- 9:50Speaker 2: Hard to get in the way of that. Also, I
- 9:53Speaker 2: want to share an article with you and maybe on
- 9:55Speaker 2: the podcast today we can kind of do a deeper
- 9:57Speaker 2: dive from New York Magazine why Ben Shapiro's media empire
- 10:02Speaker 2: is collapsing. And the article, well, it's it's something's happening.
- 10:07Speaker 2: It's declining. They've laid off about a third of their staff,
- 10:10Speaker 2: the Daily Wire. And here's the here's the narrative, and
- 10:14Speaker 2: I think it's worth talking about Mark. The narrative is
- 10:18Speaker 2: that Ben and the Daily Wire were riding high, riding
- 10:22Speaker 2: the Maga train. Trump was captivating young hearts and minds
- 10:26Speaker 2: of conservatives, young conservatives largely meant male conservatives, and that
- 10:32Speaker 2: that audience is turning against because of Israel and because
- 10:38Speaker 2: of the war in Iran. And you know, Shapiro is
- 10:41Speaker 2: unapologetically pro Israel. Of course, he's an Orthodox Jew and
- 10:45Speaker 2: and it's fracturing his base. And Mark, there's there's there's
- 10:51Speaker 2: there's some truth to that. You talk to young people now,
- 10:54Speaker 2: and they're saying, wait a minute, I'm all about MAGA
- 10:57Speaker 2: because I want to put America first, and I don't
- 10:59Speaker 2: know why we're in around, and you know, then you
- 11:01Speaker 2: got to lay out and I don't know why we're
- 11:03Speaker 2: so closely aligned with Israel. And then you got to
- 11:05Speaker 2: lay out why we're so closely aligned to Israel, why
- 11:08Speaker 2: it's so important. But you and I can sit around
- 11:10Speaker 2: and stubbornly say, well, come on, dummies, come along, come on,
- 11:12Speaker 2: you gotta you gotta get on board. But Mark, there's
- 11:15Speaker 2: a there's a problem here, and it's time we ought
- 11:18Speaker 2: to acknowledge it and talk about it. Don't you think
- 11:21Speaker 2: I do?
- 11:21Speaker 1: And there will be something so cleansing and healing about
- 11:26Speaker 1: victory in Iran. Please Lord, let it happen. Let us
- 11:29Speaker 1: see you're really good. If it was well in advance
- 11:31Speaker 1: of the midterms, where victory is complete, Iran looks like
- 11:34Speaker 1: they're going to behave better. The uranium thing is settled,
- 11:37Speaker 1: they're denuclearized, straight up, Hormus is open. Gas prices are
- 11:42Speaker 1: back down in the threes. If all those things happen,
- 11:45Speaker 1: all of these problems go away.
- 11:47Speaker 2: That's what that's going to be the key here's them
- 11:49Speaker 2: From the article, it says the anti Israel, antisemitic Groypers
- 11:55Speaker 2: as they're known, led by Nick Fuentes, are in ascendence.
- 11:58Speaker 2: Candice Owens, who won worked with Ben Shapiro at The
- 12:01Speaker 2: Daily Wire, now has a YouTube channel that's larger than his,
- 12:05Speaker 2: where she has indulged in anti Israel conspiracy theories, has
- 12:09Speaker 2: battled with Charlie Kirk's widow, and even broken with Trump
- 12:13Speaker 2: without suffering any financial consequences. Beyond Owen's and Fuentes, Tucker
- 12:17Speaker 2: Carlson and Megan Kelly have found massive audiences with their
- 12:21Speaker 2: own brand of conspiratorial commentary that Mary's Israel skepticism and
- 12:26Speaker 2: isolationist advocacy. Carlson and Kelly have both loudly opposed the
- 12:31Speaker 2: war in Iran. Trump Carlson seems to be moving on
- 12:35Speaker 2: from Trump completely and it's not hurting them. Mark, That's
- 12:38Speaker 2: the thing. That's the key. We'd like to think it would.
- 12:42Speaker 2: It's a beacon, and you know, and we can we
- 12:44Speaker 2: ignore that at our own peril. So it's worth talking about.
- 12:46Speaker 1: Sixty seconds in further jew hating news, did you catch
- 12:49Speaker 1: Ran Paul's son yikes?
- 12:51Speaker 2: And did you see his apology.
- 12:53Speaker 1: Uh well, yes. William Paul ran into Congressman Mike Lawler
- 12:58Speaker 1: at a bar. He was like three sheets to wins.
- 13:01Speaker 3: I'd say, if we lose the Midsterms, it's gonna be
- 13:04Speaker 3: because of you people. It's you people. And Mike Lahler said,
- 13:07Speaker 3: who are you talking about the Jews? It's because the Jews.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Micha Lahler said, I'm not Jewish.
- 13:13Speaker 1: Whoops? Sorry, And then later on Rand Paul's son, William,
- 13:17Speaker 1: who's twitter handled by the way, Oh what is it is?
- 13:20Speaker 1: You know what Rand Paul's son twitter handle is? Tasty
- 13:23Speaker 1: Brews seventeen seventy six. Might be a sign that there's
- 13:27Speaker 1: a problem waiting to happen. They want to start. I apologize,
- 13:29Speaker 1: I apologize, I said things that didn't mean I'm going
- 13:32Speaker 1: to get help from my drinking problem. Listen, drinking a lot,
- 13:36Speaker 1: you can get weepy, you can get into arguments about sports,
- 13:39Speaker 1: you can get arguments about politics. If your drinking leads
- 13:43Speaker 1: you to spew your jew hatred, drinking is not your problem.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Right exactly. But I also think there should be some
- 13:51Speaker 2: grace afforded this young man who apologized and acknowledged he's
- 13:55Speaker 2: got a drinking problem, and that took it took some guts,
- 13:57Speaker 2: and I hope he does.
- 13:59Speaker 1: He does.
- 14:00Speaker 2: He You don't know what's in somebody's heart market one
- 14:04Speaker 2: hundred percent.
- 14:05Speaker 1: And I'm not going to say and say that he's lying. However,
- 14:07Speaker 1: that I have a drinking problem is the perfect Teflon
- 14:10Speaker 1: to offer up. When what happened is you got drunk
- 14:13Speaker 1: off your butt and it wound up revealing a dark
- 14:16Speaker 1: side of you that would have otherwise remained.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Truth, the truth, The truth was revealed in your intoxication.
- 14:22Speaker 2: All right, Happy Thursday, my friend, new Newstern, eleventh Central.
