  Speaker 6: we like to stay humble.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, incredible. I'm starstruck.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I feel looking at a fucking embryo. He's so young
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: looking at a fucking embryo. A leather jacket on a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: leather jacket more hardware than a freaking home depot.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Thanks guys, Thanks, that means a lot.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Yes, all right, Well hello everyone. I'm Sarah McDonald and
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: I am an actress. I've been on stage and screen
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: for many, many, many years. At this point, it's it's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: funny to look back. It's been it's been a long time.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I've lived through many presidential administrations and so uh oh gosh,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: which one came first? I believe it was. Yes, it
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: was the Tony that came first. I did. I was
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the originator of the role of Starfish.
• 4:05
  Speaker 5: In The Little Undersea.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Wench on Broadway, and that was a big breakout role
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: for really auto representation. There wasn't a lot of back then.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: There wasn't a lot of songs for altos to sing,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: then their college auditions and whatnot. So I believe I'm
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: a pioneer in that way. And then there was the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Oscar adaptation of that movie, and then following that I
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: got the Grammy for it was the audio book retrospective
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: of playing the Starfish in Hendshon. Grammy, yes, for Best
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Audiobook Recording. And you know, the Emmy was the hardest
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: to get. I will say the Emmy was the hardest
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to get.
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: If you don't come from TV, it can be pretty tricky.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Right, well, do you come from TV.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Where you come from, You'll come straight from your mother's wounds.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: That's funny.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You don't have to prove it, Like I said, you won,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: You've already won.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: Well we're okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Don't try to sell the product after the already body.
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: I'm not saying this is just my personality. Don't try.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Hard to believe look uh, and so I had to
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: get the Emmy somehow, so I had to pull a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: lot of strings. Luckily I was able to book a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: pilot called uh Tuesdays at the Apartment with Friends, And
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: we really really drove hard at that campaign to UH
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: get me a to get me an Emmy for that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: But eventually I did. Yes, So we would only went
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for one episode, but we strong armed the Emmy committee
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: in such an aggressive way. But I had to. I
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: knew I would. I had to.
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: Get that fourth piece of hardware at that time, you know.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: So luckily we did, but I think I deserved it.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I think I had some funny lines in. There was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a wonderful scene where I came in wrapped in bubba rap,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: going oh no, and then I toppled to the ground.
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: That was the.
• 6:06

  Speaker 2: Totally and you can ask me. That is the least
• 9:08

  Speaker 4: guys are freaks. You walk in there and they're what
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: kind of middle aged men thinks of a popcorn falling
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: in love with it?
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: It has to be a deranged individual who thinks that
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: an inanimate object can talk to a different one.
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, well, let me tell you the whole office is
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: built that way. Once I was in a meeting and
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: we had to ask the pen what they thought, and
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: I said, that's a pen and they said, inanimate objects.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Can talk and that's how they hear it.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: So so they just they they want to give every
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: piece of anything anatomy and autonomy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: No, it didn't.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Of course. We waited in the silence, and I had
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: a cigarette and.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: I don't smoke. Okay, I just I was so drevened
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: to it. I was so appalled by the fact that
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: we would stop a pitch meeting.
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: You are you the kind of person who keeps one
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: in your pocket?
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Keep one no matter what.
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: My wife once got in a fight with her cousin
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: and I said, I have to pull out my cigarette.
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: Oh no, what was the fight about?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know, about some kind of turkey?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Stressful so about.
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: They were making for Thanksgiving? Don't these pixar guys, I'm
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: talking about animal Okay, I can.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: See the zeede. Your wife and her cousin screaming about
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: some sort of turkey you thinking, I.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: Said, this reminds me too much of the house a
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: mouse where stupid shit talks. So it's hard over there
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: and listen. I'm just a musician. I'm not I'm not
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: one of these freaks with a laptop. Okay, I don't
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: type weird stuff. And they use countries like it's like
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: a backdrop. They go, what if we did popcorn meats
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: chair but we did it in Italy? And I go, guys,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: that doesn't change the music.
• 17:32
  Speaker 6: It did, It didn't.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: No, I'm really against my music being geographical. I think
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: music should be colorful, jolly, and it should bounce.
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: That's insane because I feel like the history and culture
• 17:46
  Speaker 6: of music is directly based to geography.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Very smart, twenty four year old the Dustin.
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: Thank you very much when its music. How do you
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: feel like, guys, stop? Thank you?
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Your pipes are incredible.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: No, I didn't compliment you will ask you a question.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: So much?
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: Are you rais singing?
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: I was Rais singing. I was raised on the stage.
• 18:05
  Speaker 6: I was raised in the booth. I'm kind of uh.
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: You guys probably know this, but I don't know if
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: you guys know this. I was used to be a
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Broadway child actor. I was Matilda and then I was
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: the kid who eats cake in Matilda, And yes, that's
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: exactly who I was.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Lovety to my kids.
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: Oh my gosh. You know. So after that though, when
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: we switched to Broadway, I just jumped into the booth
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: and got going. Basically, I got famous on a dead
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: app called Vine for my pipes, and one thing led
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: to another and we ran away with girl you got
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: them booty in those jeans. It's a great first hit.
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: Second hit was I was like, baby, what You're cool?
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: So those both went huge for me. What was the question?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: The question was do you feel a music is geographical?
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much? Thank you. I'm asking a question.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: From what I get for being curious about a fucking
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: gen z.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: This is they thank you, and then they'll ask if
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: they hurt you?
• 19:12
  Speaker 6: Yeah, okay, did I hurt you? Sorry you God.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Answer the question is a question, thank you.
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: So I think it's geographical when you listen to the
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: I mean it's kind of undeniably geographical. You think of
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: a reggaeton that's from a certain area of the world,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: a geography of the world. You think of uh uh uh.
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: You think of different French music that's from France, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 6: they made that music because of the.
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: Part of the world is the dustin from where that
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: album you were speaking of.
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: The dustin comes from the great plains of Plano, Texas. Yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: that's where I'm from.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: Very wealthy neighborhood, Plano, Texas, very wealthy city.
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: Thank you so much. I don't thank you. Yeah, I
• 19:58
  Speaker 6: definitely came from wealth, and I'm not a shamed of it.
• 20:00
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people will try to reject
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: you from that, but that's fine for me, you know so.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: And I think my influence, my music was definitely influenced
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: from the plains of Plano. You can kind of hear
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: it in my.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: Song Incredible, Sarah, I'm dying to hear about just your
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: performance at the Tony's when I saw you sing that
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: song live.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Oh you forgot the words?
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: It was iconic.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, well, I'm told that it's made a big splash online,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: that it's a big it's been a big comeback for
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: that performance, because you know, in the in the nineties,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: you would you would just sing something and you sung
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: it on TV or you went on you know who
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: was it who was a talk show at the time,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Carson Maybe that was earlier.
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: It's been so okay, Well, thank you so much.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Talk show it was a who Salt and Pepper in
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: the nineties.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: Sean, Well, I've done so many of them I can't
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: keep track.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: By Sally Jesse Raphael.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, probably all right, probably somewhere in there.
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Listen.
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: Okay.
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: So my point is, you go on a talk show.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: You do an interview, or you perform on a national
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: stage of some kind, and then that's it. It lives
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: on the TV. Nobody ever sees it again. It just
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: exists there and then it's gone. So you can do
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: whatever you want. You can take a call in the
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: middle of your interview, you can go to the bathroom,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you can get up, play a game, come back, you
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: can swear all you want, and nobody ever hears about
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: it again. But now, because of the Internet, if you
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: do something on television, people remember it, yeah, and people
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: put it somewhere else, and then all of a sudden,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: kids are lip syncing to me forgetting the words to
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Starfish of My Heaven and saying things like their lip
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: syncing is one part where I went, where's a cue card?
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: I need a cute card?
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, who's a cute card?
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: Lady?
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Give me the cute card and It's like people do
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: it to uh, like analogous situations in their life where
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: they're confused by something. I'm told it's a big hit.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: Will you address the rumors that you had seven bottles
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: of champagne before that performance?
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Absolutely I did.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Well it was a different time and they had alcohol
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: available more freely. It was a there wouldn't there wasn't
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: such a stigma around being drunk as hell. You could
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: kind of you could do that more often. Now people
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: are very sensitive days. Yeah, they say, you.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: Can't eat, it's nine am, you're here at your call time.
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: You can't.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: You can't be a drunk as shit performing a scene.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: And I just I don't know if that's the way
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: we should be going is this society?
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: And I mean back when I first started, it was
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: like I'm wasted. So what it was like, I'm wasted
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: your brown hair, you know what I mean? Like, well,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: these are all facts, doesn't matter.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: It was a signal that you were so comfortable in
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: your position and your character and your role that you
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: could do it on any substance.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: No, for sure, you can't go to the bank drunk
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: as fuck anymore.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: No, No, they don't like it.
• 23:09

  Speaker 1: You know, I actually drag queens are It's funny that
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: you bring that up. They are quite enamored with me.
• 25:38
  Speaker 6: And you've got a following.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: There was one time I was not not let's say kidnapped,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: but let's say brought into the back room and there
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: were seven of these wonderful, beautiful drag queens and they
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: were all out there with notepads and they would say,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: just talk, and they would write down every single thing
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: I said. And I think I'm in some kind of
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: show now where they where they all imitate.
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Me in some way. And I think it's interesting.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: I think it's a compliment.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Well, I would say, and I know this because my son. Yeah,
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: I think you're kind of what people say in their industry.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: You are like a gay man's old woman, you know
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: what I mean. Why where you've become this legend status,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: the Jennifer cool As, You're the Lord Dern, You're the
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: Roseman in Cluoney, You're the old types. You've you've become
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: the type of woman that gay men obsess over.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: And it's fascinating because I don't understand. I don't understand
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: what it is they I think they seem to latch
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: on to the way I talk to staff members and
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: the way that I take glasses from restaurants.
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'll tell you this.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: The second, the second you understand why they like you,
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: they're not gonna like you anymore.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: You cannot know.
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: That's so.
• 26:59
  Speaker 6: Once you can, you figure it out.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: You know, this makes sense.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I've had a drop off in interest ever since they
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: convinced me to make that TikTok where I was holding
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: a glass of champagne and walking out of the chateau
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: my mom. I have not been getting calls drag queens
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have not been talking about me as much.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: So the least check out completely not own it.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: You Ei the gorilla in the cage. You can't look
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: at the glass. That's the thing. The second look of
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: the glass. We don't like you. You gotta be fucking careful.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, now this is this is good to know, But.
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: They are they're playing you. In Vegas, I walked down
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: the street the other day and there was a Sarah
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: McDonald and personata in Vegas. She asked me to take
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: a photo. Is gonna be fifty five dollars.
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, my goodness, five dollars.
• 27:47
  Speaker 6: And she asked you to take a photo?
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she asked, Yeah, she said, you want to think
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: a photo would be I got it. Yeah, she didn't
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: asked me to take a photo of her.
• 27:54
  Speaker 6: Sorry, I was a little confused.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: Okay, the Dustin.
• 27:58
  Speaker 4: I want to talk about you singing all the time,
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: because here I am, I'm a musician. I rarely will
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: be playing music and conversation, Yeah, conversation. And I'm curious, like,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: is that a learned thing? Is that a new thing?
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Or have you done that all the time where you
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: sing what you wanted.
• 28:18
  Speaker 6: To say and thank you so much. It's definitely a
• 28:21
  Speaker 6: thing that I picked up when I was a couple
• 28:23
  Speaker 6: of years ago. We were just in the booth so
• 28:25
  Speaker 6: many times, just recording, recording, recording that I thought, you know,
• 28:28
  Speaker 6: to ide eight new ideas. That's incredible. I have to
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: keep on singing, and yeah, I don't write any of
• 28:34
  Speaker 6: my songs, but I'm hoping to one day. And I
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: think just by singing a couple of tunes and trying
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: things out, you can find good lyrics. Like already from
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: this conversation, I feel like I've picked up a lot
• 28:45
  Speaker 6: of great lyrics that might go into a future song
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: of mine. One is that I love is You're you're
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: a gay man's old woman. I think that'd be really
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: And you think.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: That that's okay for you to sing?
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's his work.
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: Well, yeah, we're gen Z. We have no rules. Yeah,
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: it's like kind of like this weird things where millennials
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: are not allowed to say things, but gen Z, if
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: we do it on TikTok, it's usually fine. People don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: really get mad at that's good change.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I'm interested to know people's philosophy on this. There could
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: be an argument made for we've basically one, We've gotten
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: all the awards. What's to stop us from just kicking
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: back on opportunities and and enjoying a mimosa on the
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: beach somewhere. Why do we keep doing this? That's why
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: do we want to work? What drives you?
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: Well? For me, I think it's my age. You know,
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: I'm not done exploring the art. I'm not done exploring
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: the universe. Yes I have an Emmy, Yes, thank you.
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: Yes I haven't, but that wasn't a compliment.
• 29:52

  Speaker 6: like a twelve am at Denny's. Okay, listen to me.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: We had the exciting moments, your little fucking prick. We
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: did them. We have them.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: I have whiskey in my pasta exactly.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: We get to rest on our laurels here. Okay. Just

• 36:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: Well, I you know, I haven't been as consistently working
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: ever since I achieved EGOTT. I found it was much
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: more fun to walk around restaurants and just start talking.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: I've found it a person as you know, it's not
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: as demanding.
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: There's no one saying you have to be here at
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: a certain time.
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: And so for the past thirty or so years, I've
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: just sort of done sort of bit niche cameos in
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: different shows where they trot somebody out, kind of like
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of Mamma Mia two where Share comes
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: in for no reason iconic.
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: That's kind of been my bread and butter for a
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: long time.
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: Any time I go, oh, well, the cash well is
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: running out a little bit, the investments are going a
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: little wonky. Then I hop on a TV show for
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: three to five lines.
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I saw you on You were on Pretty Little
• 36:53

• 37:10
  Speaker 6: to come out of dressed up for the.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: Internet.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: From what I understand, Tim Burton took over one episode
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: of Pretty Little Liars because the director was sick and
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: they were all friends and so it got a little funky.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: You should see when My when My when my son
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: has his drag friends over at the at the house.
• 37:31

• 37:37
  Speaker 6: You're a viral queen.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: I cannot. I am swatting gay men away like flies.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: I can keep swatting because if you stop swatting, they'll
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: go away on their.
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: Second you join, You're done? Can I ask you?

• 38:18
  Speaker 1: So they're having me come in as her identical twin.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: I am probably thirty years her senior. But they're they're

  Speaker 1: I do come in and I say, who left all
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: the sex on the floor? And no, no spoilers, no spoilers.

  Speaker 6: It's not a turn of phrase.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: Well that's how I said the line, and then they
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: had to write it in so that what I said
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: makes sense.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: I hope you got a scene with Jay.

• 39:23
  Speaker 2: and I know where to buy the Timberland boots.
• 39:24
  Speaker 6: And that's a great job. Probably a great job for
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: assistant wardrobe editors to come in because a lot of
• 39:29
  Speaker 6: what they're doing is taking away, you know, other pieces
• 39:32

• 39:45
  Speaker 2: movies that are a little more uh uh, bare bones,
• 39:50

  Speaker 2: try to help wherever I can, you know. And it's
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: been fun. You know, we're in Boston's a little difficult.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: Sometimes people get a little ornery, people get a little fiery,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: but you figure it out. You're talk here. It's a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: different conversation than if I was in Hollywood, you know,
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: And so it's nice though, it's nice.
• 40:10
  Speaker 6: I mean, I love the what's the indie film you're
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: working on?
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Well, it was the one back where I'm from. That's

  Speaker 2: And don't get it wrong, there's another one called the
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: Name of the Father and the Son and the Freedom Trail.
• 40:39
  Speaker 6: I can't wait to figure out what that one's.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: That one's really crazy. It's on the grave of Sam Adams.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: I fucking sit on my ass. And there's another one
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: that I fucking love. And I'm really excited about this one.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: This one actually the great Patricia colc And is flying
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: into play uh a housewife in an amazing movie. It's
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: called I'll See You on the Charles Riva your fucking
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: piece of Ship.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm not gonna be able to stop working, not
• 41:11
  Speaker 4: by choice. I like to take breaks. But my wife
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: just bought Burbank.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: The city.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: This city, she bought the city. So I'm gonna be
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: working till the day.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: What does your wife do because you would kind of
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: imply that she was an idiot earlier.
• 41:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the woman doesn't get how to buy land. And
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know what realtur she worked with. Honestly, way
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: that most people don't know. This woman doesn't know that
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: drag queens aren't singing. Okay, this woman bought Burbank and
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: she thinks we can just go from restaurant to restaurant
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: because she loves these restaurants. And I went, no, honey,
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: that means we are in debt and I will never
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: have to never get to stop writing, writing and composing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: But you know what, it comes easy to me, and
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: I'm excited to it. I'm working on a new Pixar film.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: It's called Stickermania, and it's the life and a Death
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: of stickers.
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Oh, the death, the life and death of stickers.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: I always talk about this. I'm glad there's shedding light
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: because the Internet killed stickers. It's fucking awful. It's awful
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: to see. I hate it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: It's very upsetting, but it's incredible the way Pixar will
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: write for multiple generations. They're writing to the parents who
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: are bringing the kids about the stickers they grew up on,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: and then they're writing to the kids about the fact
• 42:32
  Speaker 4: that these stickers are gone and now it's being replaced
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: by the big bad Wolf, the Gift.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: I guess there's a one generation they're not writing for.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: This is probably the only word.
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: I'm so angry right now. I'm furious the idea that
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: a sticker would have a pulse or a heartbeat. Oh,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: grinds my gears.
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: It's fun. I guess where's that one based.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: They're doing that in Germany?
• 42:59
  Speaker 6: Oh fun, that feels very appropriate.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: So you're writing like German music for it or something.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: No, I don't believe music as a nationality. Maybe that's problematic.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: I just think it should all be staccato, bouncy and
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: high pitch.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: What are you doing?
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: Justin Oh?
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: Thank you, thanks, say and get it over.
• 43:20
  Speaker 6: Dying? So just say you're dying. The big big news
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: is I am dying? Yea of what? Dying? Of this
• 43:32
  Speaker 6: fucking conversation? Y'all are boring?
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, Okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: I'm going to be at Tenants of the Trees later tonight,
• 43:41

• 43:48
  Speaker 6: life is a dream. Life is a movie and I
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: plan to live on it. So if you're looking for something,
• 43:52
  Speaker 6: I'm starting to little residency at Tenants. The first week
• 43:57

• 44:01

• 44:04
  Speaker 6: you do your song a lot. It gets booties on
• 44:07
  Speaker 6: the floor and sometimes I'll throw in a remix of
• 44:10
  Speaker 6: mine and people love it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: You put us together yeah, keep us separate, please don't
• 44:15
