Welcome to the

0:08

Woodburn Theatre where

0:09

we now present Off Book.

0:30

Whoa! Whoa!

0:40

What's up Seattle? Yes

0:47

Blair! Yes Blair! Yes Blair on the lights!

0:49

Let's chant for Blair! Blair! Blair! Blair! Blair!

0:51

Blair! Blair! Blair! Blair! It's

0:54

always good that we introduce Blair first. So

0:57

that he feels safe. Let's get that handled.

1:00

If everyone's like, where's Blair?

1:03

He's back there. Blair? He's

1:05

back there. This is

1:07

Off Book the improvised musical podcast with Zach and Jess.

1:09

That one's Jessica McKenna. That one's Zach

1:12

Reno. Give it up for Scott

1:14

Passarella, king of pianists, pianist of

1:16

kings. Scott,

1:19

Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott. Okay, yeah. Alright.

1:22

Absolutely. Yes! Living it king! By

1:26

a round of

1:28

applause, who is maybe here and

1:30

has not

1:31

ingested this experience before?

1:34

This show?

1:36

I love a hand raise. Yes. Love

1:39

a sweet, respectful hand raise. Hello

1:41

me, I've been brought by a friend. I'm here. I don't

1:44

clap, but I'm here. I was walking by and

1:46

I thought, sure, it's a Monday. So

1:49

this, we're going to do an improvised musical.

1:51

Everything that we say and sing is made up. Everything that

1:53

Scott plays is also made up.

1:56

Everything that Blair lights. Blair, Blair.

1:59

Blair, Blair. Blah, blah, blah, blah, yeah! Always

2:04

remember that. Blaire has the power to put the spotlight

2:07

on you. You came to see

2:09

this show, but Blaire can turn it all

2:11

around. We're

2:13

so happy to be at the Crocodile. Everyone here has an amazing,

2:15

so far it's such a cool venue. Thank you for coming out on

2:17

a Monday night. I really appreciate it. I did myself

2:19

a little fun. But yes, as Zach was saying, we're going

2:21

to make up a musical for you, and if that

2:23

sounds terrifying,

2:24

sorry. Can't

2:27

help but forget it all. We

2:29

laugh in the face of danger. Some would say

2:32

we're the bravest occupation there.

2:35

Those people are wrong.

2:38

But to get started, can

2:40

we get a suggestion of any word

2:42

at all? Maybe from someone who... Oh, never

2:44

mind. No, yeah, don't worry. Yeah, yeah, yeah. K-pop.

2:48

K-pop. K-pop is great.

2:50

K-pop music videos are running

2:53

the table with us in every conceivable

2:55

way.

2:55

I've got to be honest, it's been a minute since I've

2:58

watched a music video of any

3:00

kind. Yeah.

3:02

Did

3:05

you consume them growing up with TRL,

3:08

ever a big

3:09

moment for you? No, I

3:11

famously was not a TV kid. I

3:13

was an outside wearing a cape on a swing

3:16

kid. Yeah, a couple

3:18

others.

3:20

You

3:23

know a lot more about K-pop than I

3:24

do. Which is not saying much. Although,

3:28

I do

3:30

like that in K-pop, similarly

3:32

with the sort of boy band effect that we had,

3:35

although the group size is way more variable,

3:37

right? Right. There's K-pop stars

3:40

and there's smaller K-pop groups, three

3:42

to five. Then there's K-pop groups that have 20, which

3:44

is great, because that's basically being like, what's

3:47

your favorite Pokemon? It's only your favorite.

3:50

No one else has heard of it. You're like, that

3:52

girl, she's just for you. That

3:55

guy, no one else knows who that one is.

3:57

I do sort of remember feeling like...

4:00

when I liked in think that Justin

4:02

couldn't be my favorite because there were too many

4:04

people coming

4:05

for him. Right, K-pop doesn't have that

4:06

problem. Yeah, I was like,

4:08

um, all right, JC.

4:12

There is a sort of thing, though, that like

4:14

if you're the least famous Backstreet

4:17

Boy, you're still one of the back, uh-oh,

4:19

yeah, name him. Howie.

4:22

Well, right,

4:27

it's probably

4:28

Howie. I don't

4:30

have a strong opinion. Can you name another Backstreet Boy?

4:33

No, no, I

4:35

can't. But I love that someone back there was like, Brian.

4:41

It just, I don't know. If I was

4:43

the least famous in a group of 20, that

4:49

would feel, I just feel like that's true, like for

4:51

me as a performer who can

4:53

do a show maximum with three people, otherwise

4:55

I'll feel like I'm not getting enough spotlight.

4:58

Like, 20 is too many.

5:01

20 is like, well, where's the me show? I

5:03

thought this was about me. I

5:06

know, I understand. Obviously I understand. I'm

5:09

here with you. I know. Hey,

5:24

girl, which one

5:26

of us does it for you? Got

5:31

so many choices, can you let

5:33

it come who you do? Oh.

5:38

You want a life, girl? I

5:42

should hear you have many. Just

5:45

go and rent

5:46

your seat. That's our way, Johnny. Let's

5:52

keep it simple. I'm

5:54

the one who only wears red.

5:58

You can call me the red man.

5:59

6:02

6:04

6:05

10:06

Who are those? Huh? Hello?

10:09

Nope.

10:09

Everyone? Hello? Hi

10:12

Reginald!

10:12

Hello! You're

10:15

good? I'm the one who's the mouse!

10:20

Okay. The mouse is here.

10:22

Good

10:24

one, Sargent. Yeah. It sucks that there's

10:26

a mouse on this board, right? It sucks that there's

10:29

a mouse? It sucks to me that

10:31

in the boy band, one of us is

10:33

a mouse. I don't like

10:35

it because we're all boys and everyone's like,

10:38

but can we talk to the mouse? Yeah,

10:40

I look... Reginald's great. Whenever

10:42

we go out with like our per diem, I'm stoked

10:44

if I'm like in the same mood for food as the mouse.

10:46

Don't get me wrong. Reginald does not

10:49

suck. It sucks that the Reginald

10:51

is in our group. Yeah. Reginald,

10:53

the incredible singing mouse, should not be

10:55

a member of a 20-member boy band. You're

10:57

right. Should be a solo act. You're right.

11:00

That's all I'm saying. I hear you. That's not

11:02

on you, my dude.

11:04

Well, no, we're all...

11:05

I just

11:07

feel we're constantly in a group setting. Yeah. That's

11:09

how I feel too.

11:10

Yeah. That's why I'm one of the two

11:12

that sing at the same time. Who are

11:14

the two that are missing? Um... Oh,

11:16

let's see. We have

11:18

Grashkull, Reg, Crushing, Mouse...

11:21

La La Pa, the other 16 of us...

11:23

Avocado.

11:24

The other kind of thing. Oh,

11:29

hey. Where's

11:35

TV? And

11:38

dunks! Pee-ball.

11:42

And dunks. The

11:45

two of us who come across, mildly

11:48

sporty. Yeah. So

11:50

we called them Pee-ball. And

11:53

dunks. To be fair. Not

11:56

sure if I love those or they're

11:59

not. There's something there

12:01

that really ain't gonna give me the vibe

12:03

like a jee-ball damn because

12:06

I thought about going to the moon and

12:08

seeing me calling people

12:11

but we don't

12:12

even think that it means they just keep

12:15

on and think and thinking

12:17

about it, jee-ball and

12:19

things are not traditional

12:22

we do

12:23

No! They're

12:25

not something like Michael and or

12:28

Jay And

12:30

I can't name a single single

12:33

thing that tries to become a jee-ball

12:37

and I'm

12:40

I'm Ooooooh

12:46

Oh, oh, oh Oh,

12:51

oh, oh Oh,

12:53

oh, oh, oh And

12:56

we were still like, who's missing

12:58

again? Are we my friends?

13:03

Now not to each other, oh my gosh, my

13:04

guy I know

13:06

your birthday, I know

13:08

your favorite thing I know your middle name

13:11

and the social things that you consider real

13:15

I know your family, my family I

13:20

know your social security number And

13:22

I think they need help me Are

13:25

we your little friends? We're

13:28

friends You wish

13:30

I could be As

13:34

friends or as a

13:36

member Who knew

13:38

your social security number

13:40

at all? And I

13:42

don't know anything

13:45

about You're on some

13:47

jee-ball Just a

13:49

missing, missing

13:52

bro I know

13:53

that for sure

13:56

And now who knows, are

13:59

they standing? in the rain,

14:02

calling out our names. Work

14:05

single weekend.

14:08

Singing

14:12

in the rain. Fade out

14:15

now and always be

14:19

the rain. Should

14:22

we go and find them? When

14:25

nowhere to begin. Are

14:27

we? Let's

14:31

watch close footage of the concert again.

14:34

Okay, here is me introducing

14:36

my name. I want you

14:39

to the bunch of people, they're

14:40

the ones. Who've seen

14:43

me with the things I'm doing. Maybe

14:45

I'll read the part we've been reading.

14:48

Singing in the rain. I

14:51

can't believe that's how

14:53

they used their solo time.

14:57

When we met again. How

15:00

we didn't know.

15:03

We had friends. And

15:06

so we went. Let's watch

15:09

close footage of the rain. Singing

15:12

in the rain. Can't

15:15

believe that's how they used their solo time.

15:18

We had friends again. And

15:20

we didn't know. And

15:22

we didn't read the scene. I just

15:25

learned to play. Well, whatever their names are, I hope

15:27

they're doing well today.

15:31

But if they try to top

15:33

us on the charts, I

15:36

will break them down. I

15:39

will not hesitate, especially with

15:41

Reginald around.

15:46

I will not hesitate to use the singing mouth

15:48

stick. No, no, listen, if they're

15:50

just going their own way, trying

15:53

something new is fine. But if they're being

15:56

a band in this genre here,

16:00

Tell him to take the deal long

16:02

for a year I'll

16:05

be a

16:07

bad man

16:10

I'll be

16:12

a bad man

16:16

They think of rivalry

16:19

They'll meet us with fame

16:34

And then I think we could do something

16:36

like this

16:48

Like a... What

16:52

do you think, Donk? Like a... Yeah,

16:54

like a... Yeah, I don't know, baseball

16:56

sounds pretty good It's T-ball I

17:00

thought everyone else called you T-ball, but I'll call you baseball because

17:02

I'm the one that actually knows you

17:03

My real name, yeah, you're right

17:07

Sorry, Donk. I'm sorry. Donk-a-sir

17:09

Thank

17:10

you. Donk-a-sir

17:13

and baseball, normal names Not

17:16

like Seaball and Duns, which are weird

17:19

I feel so good to be free of the band Me too The

17:22

type of Reginald I'll miss him

17:23

for life Oh, I love that little mouse guy

17:26

I really feel like he's the only thing holding that band

17:28

together Absolutely Publicity-wise

17:31

Yeah Because Red gets in front of the camera and is

17:33

just like, my name's Red And we're like, yeah My

17:35

thing is that I like Red things

17:39

Like a sentient Eiffel 65 album,

17:41

sorry, Donk

17:46

So we've only been part of a really big band,

17:48

and two is a lot fewer

17:50

It's a lot fewer I'm thinking like we're

17:52

doing a lot of like This is the choreography

17:54

we do on the back line And I'm realizing

17:56

the back line is going to be at maximum

17:58

one of us Because the

18:00

other person is going to have to be in front, you know what

18:02

I mean? Yeah.

18:04

Hey, also, is it making you

18:06

nervous that we don't have like a nefarious manager

18:08

type who put us together?

18:10

That does seem to be a sort of

18:12

unifying factor of the groups that are most successful.

18:14

You know? I'm sure we could get one.

18:17

Well, I don't know. I feel free, but I'm nervous

18:19

that like that means we're not going to have some sort of edge.

18:22

Hmm.

18:23

So maybe we should look for a nefarious,

18:26

or an edgy, but not necessarily nefarious

18:29

manager. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

18:32

I guess we could manage ourselves. Do you think?

18:34

I don't know. Or I could call my

18:37

mom.

18:40

Your mom... Wait,

18:42

wait, wait. Your mom is the one that

18:43

cuts cool designs into pizza crust,

18:46

right? Yeah, man.

18:48

Yeah, she's got a huge following for cutting cool

18:51

designs into pizza crust. Yeah.

18:53

So I think she understands... Everyone's feeling crazy. She

18:55

understands how to make her mark, you know? Yeah.

18:58

And look at everyone famous ever

19:01

behind them as a mom saying, you

19:03

are special enough to do

19:05

this. Right. Or there's

19:07

a mom who said, get out of here. Yeah.

19:10

And nothing in between.

19:11

Or, yeah, okay. No regular

19:13

type mom has ever led to a successful kid.

19:15

It's either an outcropping of a terrible mom

19:18

or a really good mom.

19:19

Right, right, right, right,

19:21

right. Yeah, sure.

19:23

So what's your mom like? I mean, my

19:25

mom has a lot of edge. In fact,

19:28

it can be hard to pull her away from a pizza

19:30

crust. But I think if we

19:32

can convince her that we are something

19:34

she should believe in, then she'd be like pretty

19:36

amazing mom-ager. Yeah, she's probably...

19:39

She'd probably be great. What's wrong?

19:41

Nothing. I don't know if my mom would be. Don't,

19:44

sir. I just realized, I

19:46

know your social security number, but I don't know much about

19:48

your mom. Yeah. We

19:54

only speak in letters from

19:57

once a year. I'm

20:00

a little bit of a weird Do

20:02

you realize that you're a little bit too weird?

20:05

She knows my soul, I'm so sorry She

20:08

can disappear Our

20:11

relationship is so fast So we're

20:13

just going to stay by for a little

20:16

bit Dothan, Dothan

20:22

I am breaking you from the

20:24

back of a train I've only

20:27

won See,

20:29

it's our new year Just

20:31

left us a challenge You

20:34

can tell we're not so proud It's

20:36

the way making it She's

20:39

always speaking with royalties

20:42

We're at great crisis

20:45

She has the lasers

20:47

that she's involved In assassinating us

20:51

She never says it It's all

20:54

in between the lines I

20:56

wish I was just a little bit of a train

20:59

She said, I'm a little bit of a train Dothan,

21:04

are you doing anything of note?

21:07

Do you thought

21:09

this would end too special for

21:11

me to go to? Dothan,

21:15

I am coming back to speak You

21:19

say you were for a moment would

21:21

be fine She's

21:25

a little bit holding I think

21:27

she means well She

21:30

doesn't put down where we're going

21:33

to meet

21:33

And

21:36

all I have are I want

21:39

her, I want her I

21:42

still don't want her, I can't hold her

21:46

I don't know You'll

22:00

just find me

22:03

somewhere

22:06

stealing this letter with the tiniest

22:08

little smooch. Through

22:16

his or was I called, secret?

22:21

And I took that letter that

22:24

she said that she was smooth.

22:27

And I put it on me, and

22:29

I put it on my body.

22:37

I put it on my body. And

22:45

she

22:48

laid the egg

22:52

on my

23:10

table. This

23:12

is baseball.

23:13

Oh, baseball very nice. Yes,

23:16

I saw your last performance and I thought

23:19

finally that's the

23:21

dunketer I half raised between

23:24

boarding schools and Swiss ski trips.

23:26

Mom,

23:30

it's been years. It's

23:32

been three years and

23:35

two

23:35

months. Yeah, in 15 days, no one's counting. So

23:37

yeah,

23:40

this is crazy. We were

23:42

just looking for an edgy mom

23:44

to be our momager if you

23:48

have time. There's

23:51

some blood in your hair, sorry. Don't

23:54

worry, it's only a raven. I

23:58

was wearing it as a hat since until the

24:00

bird disagreed. Sure.

24:03

You've always said you can't force

24:05

a hat until you have to. That's right. La

24:08

Raven and I had agreed on eight hours of

24:10

hat duty, but I was pushing it to nine.

24:13

There was an after after that I simply had to attend.

24:16

You understand. Don't you understand baseballs

24:19

and after after? Oh, yeah, sure.

24:20

Anyway,

24:23

but you're probably too busy, I assume, to be

24:25

a momager for dunk this air. Ask

24:28

for what you want and want for what you ask. Stand

24:32

up straight, look me in the eye. Both of them, there

24:34

you are. I know, and have

24:36

a knife hidden within Hans Reed. That's right. Now

24:39

if you can call a bird, you must.

24:45

Nope. You'll get there. Someday,

24:47

I promise you, mom, I will call a

24:50

bird. And it will happen successfully.

24:52

But today, I want you

24:54

to be the manager of our two person group.

24:57

Two person group, huh? A

25:00

one and two act, huh? Is that what you're

25:02

saying? A one than

25:04

the twos. Well, which is sort of the,

25:06

what's your deal? What

25:10

am I getting into? Is this

25:12

like an alien AJ situation?

25:15

Or is this like, hmm, another

25:18

Simon and Garfunkel situation? Is

25:21

this a, and if you don't have an answer,

25:24

then you're not ready.

25:25

OK, give me one second. Two,

25:27

three, four. OK, baseball.

25:30

She's walking away but counting her steps. Yeah,

25:32

I know. There's a certain number of steps. We don't

25:35

know what it is, but it is predetermined in her hard head

25:37

that once she reaches it, she's going forever.

25:40

Well, listen, we're just singing dance boys.

25:42

I've never written our own music before. We just get

25:44

them on flash

25:45

drives. Yeah, but isn't that something that's always

25:47

been holding us back, is that we're just singing dance

25:49

boys? Yeah, because

25:50

eventually I'm going to have a laptop that doesn't take a flash

25:52

drive. That's right. Eventually, flash

25:54

drives won't exist in them. And then what am I supposed to

25:56

do? I don't know. Well, we

25:58

have to make a big jump here. We

26:01

have to take off. Jump

26:04

ahead or the jump drive. What's

26:07

the next best thing? Don't

26:10

go for oil, take off what

26:12

is above the cage. This

26:15

is a mental trap offer. She

26:18

wants us to save

26:19

something bland. We

26:21

need to blow her mind with a plan

26:23

that's big. A

26:25

Google. You.

26:32

Are you sorry?

26:36

I don't know, I'm worried about your mom. Let's

26:38

try it out, yeah. Music

26:41

for dogs. You

26:45

see turning around, have we picked her

26:47

interest at all? Not

26:50

yet. Okay, add

26:52

another element. I think music

26:54

for dogs is great. Okay,

26:56

no, but I just feel a lot of music

26:59

for dogs. Another layer.

27:02

Okay, great. Music for dogs that

27:04

you can play, you can leave it. I

27:08

think I know what you mean, I

27:10

think I know what you mean. Who

27:13

are you talking? And be

27:15

calming music for dogs.

27:21

And be calming music for dogs.

27:25

Okay, she was walking before but

27:28

now she's fed up to kind of a

27:30

mizzling jog. She doesn't like

27:32

having calming music

27:34

for dogs. You know what? Don't

27:38

do that. I can't be

27:41

in calming music, maybe

27:41

in the just for dogs. And

27:44

be calming music for things

27:46

that they might appeal to your mom

27:49

and anyone. That kind of sound

27:51

is beautiful, the sleep.

27:55

I think I know

27:57

what you mean, I think it's beautiful. music

28:05

music music

28:12

music for like when

28:13

you have a panic attack music

28:20

music I'm

28:24

coloring in a map I'm

28:29

using a brush on my cheek I'm

28:32

using a brush on the neck

28:36

It's a long-tating thing for the brush and I'm not stirring

28:39

right with a brush I

28:44

see you looking

28:48

away but now she stops 48, 47

28:56

49, 45

29:00

49, 49

29:04

49, 49

29:08

49, 49

29:12

49, 49

29:16

49, 49

29:36

1, my son

29:40

you found the one thing

29:43

I would turn around for

29:48

1, my son music

29:56

music If

30:01

I can do the most of music Pretty

30:03

good idea, right? Yes! If

30:07

I can do the most of music I

30:10

think the two of us together

30:13

We can do it We

30:15

will make it We

30:18

will make it If I can

30:21

do the most of music You should

30:23

throw that bird of the

30:25

flesh And I'm going to throw it on

30:28

I might have killed it but I'm here I

30:31

might have killed it but I'm here I might

30:33

have killed it

30:46

This video has 3 million

30:49

views

30:49

Is it that pizza crust video? I love that

30:52

lady

30:52

No, although let's watch

30:54

that real quick

30:55

Hello!

31:06

That's

31:26

true unless you're using rice

31:28

sandpaper Just an extremely low

31:31

grit and does bend very carefully I

31:33

love them because they're about to grip Plus,

31:36

this is getting us off track

31:38

But I never miss one of her vids And

31:40

she always drops them on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays,

31:43

Mondays

31:43

She's a full-time video

31:46

content creator But no,

31:48

it's this one Do these two

31:51

look familiar to you?

31:52

Yeah, those are our former bandmates, T-Ball

31:54

and Dunks

31:55

Yeah, but now they're going for Dunk-a-ther

31:58

and Baseball Psh, okay

31:59

Probably put that on a poster above

32:02

your bed.

32:05

Funny that you mentioned it. I got

32:07

one! Reginald! I

32:09

support

32:09

their work! I

32:12

just, I wanted to bring this to the attention because

32:14

like, it's not what

32:16

we do. Right. It's not pop.

32:18

They're not standing in a line doing brilliant

32:20

choreographed dances. That we got from a flash drive.

32:23

Right. But it is... Do

32:25

you ever think about who gives us the flash

32:27

drive? No. It

32:29

just shows up in that envelope that says, do

32:32

it. And

32:34

then we do it and then our career goes well.

32:36

I know, but like... Sometimes it shows

32:38

up with a picture of a sibling as if implying like,

32:41

I know where your family is. Yeah. And

32:44

so far it's worked out great. We have tons of

32:46

hits. We get to tour the world and we give 18

32:49

good options for dating. That's right. Well...

32:56

I'm married with two children!

33:00

I'm off the market. By the way, I just

33:02

almost finished grad school now. Hey,

33:04

what is your thesis on?

33:06

Oh, it's about the

33:08

Roman Empire. What

33:12

about it? I'm always thinking about the Roman

33:14

Empire. But what about it? Just

33:17

about how big the walls were. Yeah, but

33:19

what about it? Yeah, how big the walls

33:21

were. No, but what's your thesis? Just how

33:23

big... Wow, it was so big. Like,

33:27

wow, so big. And all the roads

33:29

were so big and like so

33:32

long and so big. That's your

33:34

whole

33:34

thesis? It's nothing about like the

33:37

circus and bread. It's nothing about the

33:39

aqueduct system. Like what

33:40

about... There's a part in it about how the aqueduct system

33:43

was so big.

33:44

Man, I

33:46

always assumed this guy was smart because he's old,

33:48

but he might be the dumbest one of us

33:50

of all. Could

33:52

be.

33:54

Okay, so... Yeah,

33:57

I mean, I'm not really threatened by a video with three...

33:59

four million views. I mean, they're

34:02

just... Oh yeah, wow, that happened in the last minute we

34:04

were talking. They're just stirring rice.

34:06

I mean, I don't think they have a cool

34:08

flash drive at all. I think they're like coming

34:10

up with this damn sauce.

34:14

They didn't even get it from a flash drive and they don't know where the flash

34:16

drive is from. Hey. Hey. Don't

34:19

think about where the flash

34:20

drive comes from. Man, now

34:22

it's all I can think about.

34:23

Don't do it. We know what happens when Lee's done that

34:25

path. Remember our 21st member? She

34:29

thought about where the flash drive came from. She

34:31

thought about it every day. Wouldn't stop picking at that

34:33

string. Pick, pick, pick. Who sends

34:35

the flash drive? Why does he have a picture? Why

34:37

did he choose my cousin Marissa? I'm not even that close

34:39

with Marissa. Why?

34:46

Can't you stop thinking about it. Don't

34:49

pick at the string. Don't pick at the string.

34:51

Think out any other thing. Don't pick at

34:53

the string. If you want to be on top,

34:55

if you want to pick in, think of something

34:58

other than dead string. Sweaters. Good

35:01

sweaters are good. Think of sweaters

35:03

sweaters. Out in the woods you're feeling

35:05

warm in a sweater. What's that there?

35:08

Oh look, it's a sweater, it's a sweater. It's

35:10

a bear. The bear comes over with a big

35:12

flash drive. That's how I'm gonna

35:15

eat your cousin alive. Why is

35:17

the bear under my nose? It's

35:26

a bear. E

35:30

destabil. Exiting

35:34

a bear Holy million He entered a beautiful

35:37

fairIE. The loudly beautiful,

35:40

Who loves to love-

35:53

He gave me just a pony to And

35:55

now the pony to And so much water And

35:57

now the sweater is hopefully And

36:01

if this is it fine.

36:12

This extra hour is a

36:14

total of eleven. And

36:29

if this is it fine. This

36:40

is a total of eleven.

36:49

And if this is it fine. What

36:57

the hell why do you know? Her

36:59

name's Tina and she's Paul.

37:05

So pick up the string because any other thing

37:07

goes pick up the string. We've

37:13

got to start to be. Who's

37:15

the winner? My

37:23

dear, I've been dating a baby. I'm holding

37:25

drops in love every day. Sometimes

37:28

there's blood, sometimes there's not. Who

37:31

can say? And I

37:33

see this choreography in

37:35

such a bold blue boots. What

37:39

appears to be European

37:42

castle? Who

37:44

can say? Who

37:49

can say? Who

37:57

can say? Oh,

38:02

oh, Deanne,

38:03

it's like a DVD, a Jada, Jesse,

38:05

a Janelane, DVD, a Jada. You're

38:12

right. Oh, oh,

38:15

oh, oh, oh,

38:16

oh, oh, oh.

38:20

Alright, now I gather up new flash

38:23

drive. New flash drive, everyone.

38:26

I'm thinking like a ring for the flash

38:30

drive. Is it chilly on? No,

38:32

it's a new flash drive. Oh, okay. They ring the chilly

38:34

bell.

38:36

I'm sick. I'm

38:38

sick. I

38:40

can't get it out of my head.

38:42

Me neither. Now I have

38:45

to know. So late tonight,

38:49

I think the two of us should go and

38:51

wait for the next one and follow

38:54

the Raven back. That will

38:56

be easy because we are fast. That's

38:58

right.

38:59

The Raven is not as fast as

39:01

we are. Come on, do

39:04

that thing at the same time. I

39:08

can't get it out of my

39:12

head. And

39:24

pick up the string,

39:26

pick up the string, pick up the string,

39:28

pick up the string. The

39:34

chilly is on.

39:41

How are you feeling? This is going great.

39:43

Really, really good. I feel like

39:45

I'm making stuff I finally care about and

39:48

I'm reaching an audience and also I feel like

39:50

I'm watching a dear friend reconnect with

39:52

his mom.

39:54

Baseball, I mean, all the credit goes to

39:56

you. This is your idea. Yeah.

39:58

I want to make sure that I give you...

39:59

pushing me past music for dogs because

40:02

sometimes it's just as important to have a good

40:05

editor. Like I was like music

40:07

for dogs and maybe you would have just sprinted

40:09

towards that blindly but you were

40:11

like,

40:12

hey! Without music for dogs we

40:14

don't get to ambient calming music for dogs

40:16

and without that we don't get to ASMR. Yes there was.

40:19

I know but still thanks for being there.

40:21

Hey you're welcome. Return. Return.

40:26

It's just...

40:29

I miss the dancing. Oh!

40:30

We can put it back in.

40:33

I don't think we can. Sure! Not

40:35

with this kind of music. No I think we can. No

40:37

I don't think we can. I think we can. What

40:39

do you mean? Come

40:40

on man! It's easier than you think.

40:43

Wait a minute. Are you saying... Yeah!

40:46

Below the camera? Yeah! Oh!

40:49

You mean... We're just...

40:51

Why we stir rice with hands

40:54

when we can stir rice with feet?

40:58

And what is doing right with

41:00

feet but dancing?

41:03

We'll put the rice on the ground

41:07

and we'll kick it around. What

41:10

is doing right with

41:12

feet but dancing?

41:16

Who says the comb has to be

41:18

in your hands but a comb between

41:20

your toes? It's

41:22

all two size combs. We've

41:25

got a bunch of those. And

41:27

who says hacking peanuts

41:30

and seeing all the

41:32

tables?

41:33

What if the people did you have

41:36

a table? Anything

41:40

can be dancing. What? Anything

41:43

is a dance. Anything

41:46

can be dancing. And if you

41:48

give it a chance. Anything

41:52

can be dancing. Can we dance

41:54

with our hands? Of course! We

41:56

totally dance with my hands. Even now.

42:02

Maybe with the stirring rice,

42:05

we just give it a little tear.

42:08

Stirring and dancing, there's

42:11

similarities there. Well,

42:15

people like it, I don't know

42:17

what they're talking about. They

42:19

don't want to see more people in the prize than

42:21

what they're talking about. Maybe

42:26

with the stirring rice,

42:30

we just give it a little

42:32

tear. Maybe with the stirring rice, we just

42:35

give it a little tear. But I know anything

42:37

can be dancing, but I worry

42:40

about the views. I

42:42

don't want to ruin this thing I

42:44

made with you, just

42:46

because I miss the dancing, because

42:50

I miss the stage, because

42:53

I'll notice the physicality,

42:56

the embodying of the brain.

42:59

And I need a tear to sleep, and I need a

43:01

little bit of water to sleep. Oh

43:05

my God, I love it! I

43:07

love it! I love it! I

43:10

love it! Don't even think of me dancing, anything

43:15

to dance, anything

43:18

to dancing. Don't just throw in

43:20

your head, anything

43:23

to be dancing. No, just

43:25

worry about the best. Say

43:27

like what we like, say like what we like.

43:33

Don't mind

43:34

if we don't do the thing

43:36

we've been doing to pause. Don't

43:38

just throw in your head, anything to be dancing. No,

43:41

I have something to do with

43:43

it. Oh, I can't

43:45

do this anymore. Oh, I need

43:47

to stop.

43:55

It can be music for

43:57

adults.

43:59

with the sand. I'd

44:03

like something better. What's happening?

44:06

What's happening? What's

44:08

happening? What's

44:11

happening? What's happening? What's

44:14

happening? What's

44:17

happening? What's

44:19

happening? Wonder where I look for

44:21

more but if we take a chance we

44:24

can move to the next level which

44:26

is music

44:28

for Dog and

44:31

then we'll take a pan Ok

44:45

well now I'm in a rage. This

44:48

is the last time I've seen my music.

44:58

I know this is over

45:00

then. We

45:04

also have to run off to a rave in which

45:07

is gonna take all of our energy.

45:11

Reginald, we need you my girl. There

45:14

with your job. Reginald, we

45:16

need you to follow the rave in the Drop the Flash

45:18

Drive daily through our tour bus. My soul

45:21

must find a key faster

45:23

than will happen. How

45:26

about we need you? Woah.

45:30

Ok.

45:31

Now it's time to be your bad friend.

45:34

Ha ha ha, bad friend. Ha

45:37

ha ha, bad friend.

45:39

Ha ha ha, bad friend. Ha

45:41

ha ha ha. Ha

45:55

ha ha ha. Don't

46:05

think I don't see you, Mouse. I

46:08

know I'm here. Don't think

46:10

I don't see you, Mouse. I don't see

46:12

you, but I know you, but you. But,

46:15

Mouse, I have no need for

46:17

you, Mouse. I have no need

46:19

for you. Well, then, can you stop

46:22

playing, Tense? That's

46:24

what I'm asking.

46:25

It's been quite some

46:27

time.

46:31

We, two of the Old Gods, raven

46:33

and mouse. I've been waiting

46:36

for you, Reginald.

46:38

Reginald, I've been waiting

46:40

for you for some time. I have wonderful

46:43

news.

46:43

Yes, do tell. Should

46:46

we take our human form, or do you prefer this?

46:49

I mean, human form's as good as any other form, sure.

46:54

Our son is finally coming to his own.

46:56

Has

46:58

he now? Well, practically,

47:00

he's still part of a duo act, but it's

47:02

much better. I spent all those

47:04

years on that tour bus, just sort of planting the

47:06

seeds of, like, yeah, you could be better, you could be your

47:08

own thing. And finally, one day, he took the

47:10

bait. Although, I think it was sort of his own idea.

47:12

Which is the best in the end. Isn't

47:15

that what we want for, parents? They

47:19

are the lessons

47:19

that we grow out of, or something? Something

47:22

like that. Listen, we've been alive for so

47:24

long that it's just like, I feel

47:26

that our absence style of parenting is

47:28

probably best. I mean, I'm

47:32

there in secret all the time. You're

47:34

not in secret, but never there. And between the two

47:36

of us, perfect parenting. Yes,

47:40

I mean, he's been well cared for. He's an international

47:42

superstar. His rise to power was foretold,

47:45

and he should bring about the next times. But

47:48

I do think he might be ready to know the truth. He

47:53

or me? Did you

47:55

say you might be ready to know the truth? Oh, good, because

47:57

I was about to say what? I

48:00

know the truth. Okay. I

48:03

know the truth and it haunts

48:06

me. Yes. Very

48:08

deep, very deep cut from my

48:11

time of lore. What

48:13

role was that that you played?

48:15

Yes, Amneris

48:17

in Aida. Yes,

48:21

I originally did. Excellent turn on the stage.

48:24

That's not what we're talking about.

48:25

Sherry Renee Scott is one of

48:27

my many names I go by.

48:29

I originated

48:31

that part and

48:33

the part in the last five years. Okay. But

48:36

I have lived for a millennia and live as a raven. Old Gods,

48:38

yes. Yes. Now we're

48:40

on the same page.

48:45

Time for him to know

48:47

the things we've

48:49

kept far away For

48:51

him to fly and be

48:54

his own man

48:56

Is it the day

48:58

can he

48:59

shoulder the burden of horrible

49:01

truth

49:02

That his parents are ancient

49:05

Gods? If he goes

49:07

to a party or tries to make friends

49:10

Oh, I don't think there's any way he can

49:12

be If the

49:14

time comes

49:15

and I can sleep behind the veil

49:18

The letterman to his great

49:20

long tail And also

49:22

in the blue and blue lava

49:25

flail What will he

49:27

die? He says it's

49:30

time to call him, sit behind the

49:32

veil The time to let him

49:34

in to the great long tail And

49:37

also will he ever

49:39

tell what his animal

49:42

fire?

49:44

I think it's probably something

49:47

like me Old Gods,

49:50

that's how you lie

49:52

to me Well, if every father wants

49:54

to be like God, but you're right He

49:57

might be his mother's one DELAY

50:01

oh

50:21

Oh

50:30

Oh

51:00

Oh Oh

51:44

Okay,

51:50

you sure you want to do the dog live

51:53

yeah, what it doesn't know cute.

51:56

Oh my gosh You're right

51:58

dummy What about whatever

52:00

sinks it? No! What the? A raven?

52:02

No! A bird! That's what he's going to be

52:05

birds in the green! Rachel,

52:05

what are you doing here? Aren't you performing across

52:08

town with our old band? Who

52:10

the hell about that? HAAAAA!

52:16

HAAAAAA! HAAAA!

52:19

HAAAA! HAAAA! HAAAA!

52:22

HAAAA! HAAAA! HAAAA!

52:26

I know, I know, but we haven't

52:28

got time!

52:29

Yes!

52:32

Baseball, you can be here for this, Dunketer.

52:35

I should have told you this a long time

52:37

ago, but... You

52:38

are the seed of the old gods, Dunketer!

52:41

I...

52:43

A timeless raven, Sherry

52:45

Renee Scott, and your father...

52:47

Reginald! That

52:49

was my real name. I've been

52:52

there the whole time! And wait, wait,

52:54

wait, the

52:54

raven, that means... Yes, the flash

52:56

drive was from me. I was guiding

52:59

you this whole time.

53:00

We knew it! We knew we'd eventually find

53:02

the one who had the flash drive. The other

53:05

two who sing at the same time! That's right,

53:07

we're the ones that sing at the same time!

53:09

HAAAA!

53:12

HAAAA! HAAAA! HAAAA!

53:14

We can't have any more screaming.

53:17

Yes, that's the end of it.

53:19

Listen, Dunketer,

53:21

we...

53:22

wanted to let you in on, well,

53:25

the secret of your existence. You're a sort of nascent

53:27

god, and your life is about to get very, very weird

53:29

and strange. But we'll be here to guide you, and...

53:32

And that's a different

53:32

tale. And not from... Not from letters

53:35

and faraway smooches. Or the

53:36

small bunk with a poster of your band

53:38

up above me, so I could always see how you were doing,

53:41

even when I wasn't there.

53:41

We've been here this whole time, Dunk, because they're just in our old,

53:44

weird, godlike way.

53:45

Huh. And we're certain that was... That's

53:48

the best way, that's how we want to do parenting. We don't know, you know,

53:50

we're not sure. We're doing the

53:52

best we can. But...

53:53

but now... So finally let

53:55

you in on your

53:55

smooch, your secret. Once

53:58

it happens, you will...

53:59

your animal form.

54:02

I have an animal form?

54:02

Yes and we're thrilled to figure out what it

54:04

is. I hope I'm a giraffe.

54:06

We have some side bets but we're not sure.

54:08

Okay. Are you ready Reginald?

54:11

I'm ready. Are you ready Sherry Renee

54:13

Scott? I

54:21

knew

54:23

it!

54:26

Well

54:29

I didn't know

54:32

it but I must have known it's some part of me.

54:34

I didn't want music for dogs.

54:37

I wanted music for you.

55:18

Music for you! Music

55:21

for dogs!

55:24

And we're still best friends this isn't

55:26

too hard.

55:29

I was already in a band with a mouth.

55:33

This baby is wonderful.

55:38

I knew I always had to do.

55:41

You never helped me. Music

55:48

for dogs! Music

55:51

for dogs!

55:53

And we're not looking for music for

55:56

dogs. It was

55:58

music for you. We're

56:08

living for death, I just

56:10

need it for you,

56:13

no I

56:21

think we should just walk

56:24

back away But

56:26

let's do it in

56:28

a numerical

56:30

way One,

56:34

two,

56:35

three, four

56:39

We'll just keep

56:40

going till we

56:42

get past the door Three,

56:47

nine, ten We

56:50

don't want to be alone I

56:52

will not believe

56:58

So my son, time

57:01

to be free Don't

57:04

worry about the God thing,

57:06

it will come naturally And

57:10

I will be born a man,

57:12

I will be saved by God

57:16

I will be lonely, and

57:18

happy we're sharing with you I

57:22

don't know if I'm a good dad,

57:25

but I'm glad you're a dog

57:29

And you and your friends will

57:31

make beautiful clothes

57:37

Hello, Noodle,

57:39

thank you for coming out Yes,

57:42

you may

57:42

notice that this act looks a little

57:44

different than maybe what you saw before I

57:47

don't want to get too into it, but I have learned that I

57:49

am in fact He's a

57:51

Nathan God, but more importantly,

57:52

he's my best friend

57:55

And I know you followed us from the beginning, two

57:57

people, not finding their life at 20% point

57:59

I thank you, two people making ASMR

58:02

videos to two people who put a bunch of

58:04

rice on stage. Hello,

58:07

we're gonna just pick a little bit of

58:09

all the things we've done before.

58:11

There's a little dance, there's a little

58:14

with puritones, there's

58:15

a dog in there for sure.

58:18

Son of a wreck of his wings.

58:51

Oh, moving for

58:55

you, moving for you. Oh,

59:20

moving for you, moving for you. Oh,

59:27

moving for you. Oh,

59:33

moving for you. Oh,

59:41

moving for you. Oh, making so much

59:43

more. Thank

59:45

you so much. Thank

59:48

Seattle, the Crockin Isles. Give

59:52

it up for Scott Patherala.

59:59

Roo,

1:00:02

roo, roo, roo, roo.

1:00:06

Whoo,

1:00:07

all right, wow. Thank you so much. That

1:00:09

was a dang treat for us. I'm

1:00:12

glad you were here also. We had a

1:00:14

great time. Yeah, thanks for

1:00:15

stopping in on our sort of private, intimate thing we would have

1:00:17

done, whether you were here or not. All

1:00:22

right, so some of you may know

1:00:24

this next thing that's going to happen for our new friends.

1:00:27

Maybe this is a new experience for you, but in

1:00:29

a moment, we're going to all transport to,

1:00:32

in our minds, like a small regional

1:00:35

theater where you have just witnessed an entire

1:00:37

production of that show.

1:00:39

Music for Roo. Great.

1:00:40

Music for

1:00:42

Roo. And so this is something that happens

1:00:44

when plays or musicals are being created

1:00:48

and they're like, you know, having their out-of-town run where

1:00:50

they're still in the workshop phase, where they'll do a talk back with

1:00:52

the audience, just to learn like what was hitting, what wasn't, what

1:00:54

was making sense, what wasn't. And

1:00:57

so in a second, we're all going to magically transport there

1:00:59

in our imaginations. We're going to bring out the entire crew,

1:01:01

the cast, the costume designer, the producers,

1:01:04

the stage manager. Everyone involved. Everyone

1:01:06

involved, and you can ask

1:01:09

them any questions you like. So that's why Zach has put a microphone

1:01:11

down here. So we'll have

1:01:12

time for a few questions. You can just line

1:01:14

up right here. But please, let's give a

1:01:16

round of applause for the cast and crew

1:01:18

of Music for Roo. Wow. Amazing.

1:01:21

Great

1:01:24

performance,

1:01:25

everyone. Wow. Wow.

1:01:28

Thank

1:01:28

you. Wow. Thank you.

1:01:31

Hi.

1:01:31

Thank you so much. What's your name and who's your question

1:01:33

for? Hi. I'm Dylan.

1:01:35

My question is for anyone, really.

1:01:38

Great. I've, you know, heard

1:01:40

through the grapevine that there was like

1:01:42

a whole scene and maybe song cut

1:01:47

about the Duke's assassination.

1:01:50

Oh, yeah. And I would love

1:01:52

to hear more about that. Great question,

1:01:54

Dylan. Thank you so much. Thank you, Dylan.

1:01:57

Well, I'd like to start

1:01:58

as the costume designer. who did

1:02:00

build an incredible

1:02:01

costume for the Duke. Extremely

1:02:04

accurate historical

1:02:05

costume. I took a lot of time and

1:02:07

I was really, really proud of it. I was

1:02:10

late nights working on the costume for the Duke. And,

1:02:12

well, the Duke never took the stage in this iteration.

1:02:15

But if anyone has need for a Duke

1:02:17

costume, I have one.

1:02:20

I'm prepared to lend it. Um,

1:02:23

that was sort of my, that's how it relates to me.

1:02:25

Hand-thoned, yeah. Um, I,

1:02:28

uh, I am the scenic designer and

1:02:30

yes, I did build a replica

1:02:32

of the Duke's castle. Um,

1:02:35

and we sort of have it and I spent a lot of time

1:02:37

doing it. It is sort of back there and again, we also

1:02:40

didn't get to use it. And I guess that's

1:02:42

how the story relates to me.

1:02:44

Well, I guess I'll chime in as the

1:02:45

writer. I just felt like ultimately

1:02:47

the thing that was so powerful about Raven

1:02:50

is that, or aka

1:02:52

Sherry Renee Scott, is that, like,

1:02:55

we don't need to know if she assassinated

1:02:57

the Duke because, like, we all need to

1:02:59

walk away with a smooch from Raven.

1:03:01

Okay, but we built the castle. We built the

1:03:03

castle and we made the costume. We

1:03:05

built the castle and we made the costume. I

1:03:07

don't know what to tell you. And that's theater. That's

1:03:09

theater. Sometimes it doesn't happen that way. Thank

1:03:12

you so much. What's your name and who's your question

1:03:14

for? Hi there. My name is Jocelyn.

1:03:16

I have a question for the translator. Um,

1:03:20

when you were translating from the ancient Estonian,

1:03:24

from the Elder Gods, I know there's a lot of controversy.

1:03:26

Is it a mouse? Is it a rat? You know,

1:03:29

and Reginald is also a very bold choice because

1:03:31

of all the puns, of course, in the Reginald.

1:03:33

And I hope you can, you know, explain it. We have a big

1:03:35

translation theme on this. We

1:03:38

all want to go. Thank you Jocelyn for your question. Thank

1:03:40

you Jocelyn for your question. You

1:03:42

have brought first by... Yes,

1:03:45

so not many people know that this is an adapted

1:03:47

musical based on a small Estonian

1:03:50

folk tale. A

1:03:52

fourth on one, triple-strangied, stone-toured.

1:03:56

It is only four lines,

1:03:59

the reason...

1:03:59

and the rat made

1:04:02

a song. He sang a song for everyone,

1:04:05

especially dogs.

1:04:06

Now there is

1:04:08

some question in Tiftiya, because

1:04:10

it is unclear if the species that they are

1:04:12

referring to in this area is

1:04:14

rats or mouse, that we do not know.

1:04:17

But we thought there is a problem

1:04:19

with, how do you say,

1:04:21

relatability, and so we say, retinaled

1:04:23

now, because we have found that every single

1:04:26

person in their life knows one, and

1:04:28

exactly one person named Reginald.

1:04:32

Also we thought mouse is cuter. Mouse

1:04:34

is cuter. Also we thought, hey,

1:04:35

just in case there is a song where they have to

1:04:38

say, who rocks the house? The mouse

1:04:40

rocks the house. Yes.

1:04:41

We just wanted to

1:04:43

be prepared. Yes, yes. Well thank you. I didn't

1:04:45

write that song, but I appreciate you thinking

1:04:47

it through. Thank

1:04:49

you very much. Thank you for your question. Oh!

1:04:54

Hi, my name is Phoenix,

1:04:56

and my question is for, I guess, the outreach

1:04:59

coordinator. I'm wondering

1:05:01

how you are able to get

1:05:04

the viral YouTube sensation,

1:05:07

silly pizza crust mom in your place. Thank

1:05:11

you Phoenix.

1:05:12

Huh? Yeah,

1:05:16

go ahead Candace. I didn't need to be asked.

1:05:18

Honestly,

1:05:22

I think a lot of us who are grown

1:05:24

on YouTube, we're just really looking to be able

1:05:26

to make that next step in any way. It's

1:05:28

really hard, and people

1:05:30

said, you're a YouTuber. You shouldn't go

1:05:32

and do this live action play. You

1:05:35

don't have the skill background. And I said, I

1:05:37

didn't have the skill background for cutting pizza

1:05:39

crust until I did.

1:05:44

And Jennifer, to her credit, Jennifer

1:05:47

believed in me. Yes.

1:05:50

Jennifer believed in me. Candace

1:05:52

is my cousin. I think we're all looking for

1:05:54

someone to believe in their cousin. And

1:05:57

if you catch the cousin reference in

1:05:59

the show. You all know

1:06:01

how I feel. Yeah, we're super happy to have sort of

1:06:03

the spotlight that Candace brings with her following.

1:06:05

Thank you. I know there's a lot of pizza heads in the

1:06:08

house.

1:06:08

I think

1:06:11

that, uh, proc nation rise up.

1:06:15

That's why spin it around and throw

1:06:17

it down.

1:06:18

Hi, hello. What's your name

1:06:19

and what's your question?

1:06:26

Hi, my name is Sam. My question

1:06:28

is for the North American sales director. Normally

1:06:34

we get questions

1:06:36

for actors, directors,

1:06:40

translator outreach director, North American sales

1:06:42

director. Yeah, Sam hit us. Love it. Yeah.

1:06:44

How did you convince Neil Gaiman to adapt this

1:06:46

into American guys?

1:06:52

Can I? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't

1:06:54

have to be honest.

1:06:55

The man wants to work.

1:06:59

The man

1:07:03

wants to work. Thank you so much. Hi,

1:07:06

my name is Ryan. I have a question for the choreographer.

1:07:10

I was curious about your process about

1:07:12

ASMR dancing and why you

1:07:15

ended up with arboreal rice as

1:07:17

the rice that you use for the dancing.

1:07:19

This

1:07:19

is

1:07:21

a great question because this is actually my favorite

1:07:24

colab. Hi, my name is Tasker. I'm on props

1:07:28

and this is so thrilling

1:07:30

for me. Um, obviously

1:07:32

to work with Petra was just like incredible.

1:07:35

Such a dream come true. You're such an amazing choreographer.

1:07:39

And for me, like every time,

1:07:41

you know, like sometimes you're just fulfilling things, right?

1:07:43

Like for props, you're just like fulfilling and you

1:07:46

don't often get to like collaborate in

1:07:48

that same space. So I was like, I was

1:07:50

just honestly, every single

1:07:52

day that we had like five minutes, you could pull the side. Petra

1:07:55

and I would be like, let's try something different. And

1:07:57

one time we tried

1:07:58

uncooked orzell.

1:07:59

And that was like, it was like

1:08:02

full,

1:08:02

it was fully like a different

1:08:04

sonic experience. But it

1:08:06

was just like in the end, we were like, we

1:08:08

tried Jasmine, we tried Sushi Grade.

1:08:11

I tried cooking them just for a little bit, versus

1:08:13

like completely dry. And

1:08:15

all the rice I ate, don't worry. Um, and

1:08:19

it was just like,

1:08:20

honestly, thank you so much. Shout out,

1:08:22

shout out. Um, but that rice grain just ended

1:08:24

up being like, had like a slight popping texture

1:08:27

to it. And I know I don't want to speak for Petra

1:08:29

and her influences, but like, Fauci,

1:08:32

um, thank you. It was just

1:08:34

a little like, it was just a little bit more

1:08:36

like steam heat for you. Thank you. Thank

1:08:38

you for your question. Thank you.

1:08:42

Hi,

1:08:46

I'm D'Artagnan, and I have a question

1:08:48

for your animatronics expert. I

1:08:52

just wanted to know, because Reginald's costume

1:08:54

when he was in his mouse form was incredible.

1:08:57

And I just wanted to know, how did you take an

1:09:00

old checky cheese robot and

1:09:03

rewire him to be able to

1:09:05

do that dance and sing?

1:09:07

Thank you. So that

1:09:10

was just like, honestly, really lucky. I spent

1:09:12

most of our time and budget on the Duke costume,

1:09:14

but my, but my uncle

1:09:17

ran a Chuck E. Cheese and like, truly

1:09:20

four days ago, I was like,

1:09:22

Uncle Brad,

1:09:25

what's up with those big mice? Can I have

1:09:27

one?

1:09:30

And really, those suits are just really

1:09:31

well maintained, especially if you're like, at

1:09:34

like a mid-tier Chuck E. Cheese.

1:09:36

We're talking one that only does like four B-Day parties

1:09:39

a day, not like a big traffic 10

1:09:41

B-Day. So yeah, honestly,

1:09:44

just my Uncle Brad gave me a big

1:09:47

rat cost. Mouse, mouse,

1:09:48

mouse, mouse, mouse, mouse, mouse

1:09:50

costume. When family

1:09:53

asks for your prized rat robot, you

1:09:55

say yes. Oh my gosh, Uncle Brad, you're

1:09:57

on stage. Hello.

1:09:59

They said I could come through the back door. Yeah,

1:10:02

you're welcome. You're welcome to be here. Hi,

1:10:06

my name is Ravine, and I had a

1:10:08

question for the director. I was wondering what

1:10:10

the motivation was behind having the mouse

1:10:12

be an animatronic but using real life animals

1:10:14

for the raven and the dog?

1:10:18

The truth of the matter is, and I

1:10:21

think you may all know this instinctively,

1:10:24

dogs and ravens can be trained. Mice

1:10:30

are the devil's creature. We

1:10:35

started trying to use a real mouse. We

1:10:38

had a real phantom of the opera situation. We ran

1:10:40

into a visibility issue, too. It's like, honestly,

1:10:43

just too small. It's quite small, but also sandbags

1:10:46

were falling left and right. That mouse was trying

1:10:48

to shut that show down. We're

1:10:50

lucky this theater doesn't have a chandelier. We're

1:10:54

lucky. We're lucky. We're lucky. We're lucky.

1:10:56

You're lucky. Because it wouldn't have stopped

1:10:58

up here. That mouse would not have been

1:11:01

happy until every man, woman, child, and person

1:11:03

in the United States was killed by this

1:11:05

production. I'll

1:11:08

say it. I don't know where that mouse

1:11:11

is. I don't want to know. We're

1:11:13

all safer not knowing. Keep me up at night thinking

1:11:15

about where that mouse is.

1:11:18

Hi, my name's Tristan. And

1:11:21

with all the controversy swirling around online

1:11:23

about your appropriation of Estonian culture,

1:11:26

I'm really kind of curious

1:11:28

if you have any thoughts if the author or writer has any

1:11:30

thoughts about the rumored sequel, Hip Hop from You.

1:11:37

I'm trying to figure out how those two things are related. It's

1:11:40

the first thing that we just need to address. Yes,

1:11:42

there is controversy.

1:11:43

Yes, people are addressing

1:11:46

that we adapted an Estonian tale

1:11:48

that we don't really have any

1:11:50

cultural claim to. Yes, we don't,

1:11:52

I think. We

1:11:54

thought it was OK, because it was so true. We

1:11:57

were like, no one's going to care about this

1:11:59

one. It's so short. And they did. And

1:12:03

we're learning. We're learning and we're growing. We're

1:12:07

learning and we're growing and we're starting. And that's why you're here. And

1:12:09

that's why we're here. And that's why we're here. All here to learn

1:12:11

and to grow. And the second part,

1:12:14

I have forgotten. Oh,

1:12:16

the sequel. Oh, hip

1:12:18

hop from you. Let's see how the sales are.

1:12:22

I don't want to shut the door on that, but I think I don't

1:12:24

want to put a gift horse before. Also, I

1:12:26

shut it to think what the rat would do if it found

1:12:29

out.

1:12:31

I think, yeah, we have time for one last question.

1:12:34

I'm so sorry. Oh, and an amount for it. Hi,

1:12:36

I'm Ann.

1:12:38

Five boys disappeared

1:12:41

from the bus. 15 are

1:12:45

left for us. Are

1:12:47

the fans mad? Are

1:12:50

the fans glad?

1:12:54

Five. Oh, good math.

1:12:58

Five boys disappeared from the bus.

1:13:01

15 are left for us. Are the fans mad?

1:13:04

Are the fans glad? Well,

1:13:08

honestly, we'll have to take that to you.

1:13:11

Are 15 boys enough boys

1:13:14

for you to choose from? Or is

1:13:16

that not enough? Do you need more?

1:13:19

More boys. OK. More boys. Yeah, to be

1:13:21

fair, I think maybe Derek and Tyler walked

1:13:24

back to the bus. Five boys left

1:13:26

from

1:13:26

the bus. It

1:13:28

would be wild if they left their careers on that

1:13:30

journey. Yeah,

1:13:30

so 17 boys. But we can always add

1:13:33

more. I mean, yes, the canonical band will add more

1:13:35

boys. Yeah, probably.

1:13:36

Thank you all so much. You've given us so much to

1:13:38

think about. And well,

1:13:41

we did make a promise to the costume

1:13:43

designer.

1:13:45

And you're going to use the set

1:13:47

too? Yes.

1:13:51

So this is the number from the Duke's castle that

1:13:53

was cut.

1:13:57

Just put some pods out here. This

1:14:01

is right when we were introduced to Raven for

1:14:03

the first time and the Duke is sort of addressing his

1:14:06

people. People

1:14:08

of the Duke's time, eating time.

1:14:13

It's the romania of the

1:14:15

Lord. Brrrr-d-d-d-d-d-d.

1:14:23

I'd like to introduce to you a person

1:14:25

who is standing up here with me. You

1:14:30

may think, ooh, she is of a different

1:14:33

nationality. I am from

1:14:35

no country. I am from no

1:14:38

time. And

1:14:40

the new Duke, now maybe.

1:14:44

And she likes to make

1:14:47

love

1:14:47

so fair. When

1:14:50

I say the word, she means

1:14:53

it. When I say

1:14:56

the word, she means it. You

1:15:00

stubborn, you drunk,

1:15:02

you're a weird man. Duke

1:15:14

is still over and Duke here is done.

1:15:17

Duke says society is time to move on.

1:15:20

Duke has two dreams, he's building

1:15:23

a bond and I'm still Raven.

1:15:26

Well, what about Duke,

1:15:28

Mary? What about

1:15:30

Duke, Mary? What

1:15:39

was a Duke even doing besides

1:15:42

playing his rock and roll flute? He

1:15:45

played two games. He's

1:15:50

playing me a song. Enjoy the tours on

1:15:52

my subject. You

1:15:54

and I need to have a talk. You

1:15:57

can't just walk in here and see

1:15:59

if I do this.

1:15:59

I'm always so close to me, and why I always

1:16:02

hold a knife? Those

1:16:09

of those things make me notice,

1:16:12

so I can see it's a joke in your eyes.

1:16:15

I always hold a knife

1:16:17

within reach, and the lesson I hope

1:16:19

you always teach, about how

1:16:22

to look in your eye. I

1:16:24

always hold a knife

1:16:26

within reach, and

1:16:29

why I always hold a

1:16:32

knife? I always hold a knife within reach,

1:16:34

and why I always hold a knife? When you

1:16:37

say it, I stop and I drop and

1:16:39

when you stop,

1:16:41

I do drop and you

1:16:43

stop and you drop

1:16:44

and you drop. Now wait a second, I must

1:16:47

invent. And you stop,

1:16:50

wait, this is good. You

1:16:52

stop, stop, drop, drop, spin again.

1:16:55

Stop, stop, drop, drop, spin again.

1:16:58

Stop, stop, drop, drop, spin again.

1:17:01

You stop, stop, drop, spin again. What

1:17:03

are you doing? When she pulled

1:17:05

out the thumb drive, a thing

1:17:07

a jig had never seen. And

1:17:10

then she put it in a manila envelope,

1:17:13

and sent it away on the wind. I

1:17:17

wonder if she went, she

1:17:19

didn't exist. She

1:17:23

should feel safe in a

1:17:25

strange lady that's always

1:17:27

with me. She

1:17:31

didn't exist.

1:17:34

I see we were all

1:17:36

white, so I thought

1:17:40

she'd be. Bloop

1:17:47

everyone's a rat! Bloop!

1:17:56

All flare! Everyone protect

1:17:58

flare! The rat is loose! Blaire,

1:18:04

no! No!

1:18:07

No, Rat, we're sorry! You came to

1:18:10

do

1:18:10

this cursed musical!

1:18:14

We're sorry! We want to try something

1:18:16

out! Do you apologize,

1:18:19

not only to the audience, but to the people of Estonia? Yes,

1:18:21

we're sorry, people of Estonia! We

1:18:24

have at least one

1:18:25

cultural advocate

1:18:28

on our board. We're

1:18:30

sorry! We're sorry we switched Red Bull to

1:18:32

a mouse! And ultimately put him in a

1:18:35

giant rat costume!

1:18:35

I need you to... But you still called him a mouse! I

1:18:39

need you to say

1:18:41

just one thing...

1:18:46

I just need you to say one thing...

1:18:54

Rats are cuter than

1:18:56

mice!

1:19:00

Come on, rats! Sing for

1:19:02

me!

1:19:03

They rats are cuter

1:19:05

than mice! Rats, no! I

1:19:07

can't!

1:19:23

I can't!

1:19:41
