Speaker
Nobody cares, Robert. I know. I'm trying to say that I'm trying to say that i'm a mess all the time. right You are a mess all the time. However, I have found out that most people, at least my my friends that listen to this, they actually listen to it. They don't view it.
00:01:51
Speaker
They don't watch us. Oh, okay. That's good. Which, I i mean, i mean i both work great. I mean, you know, either watch us or not. But, yeah. Mm-hmm.

00:02:52
Speaker
Not gay. i like that quite a lot, Ron. Not bi, but I am an ally. and And that's how you know when someone's super straight, when they tell you how straight they really are. I'm so straight. Oh, my God. just want you know how much I love tips. Actually, based on our penetrating question, that might change everyone's opinion of how straight they think I am. Oh, I actually haven't read it. I haven't read it. Oh, it's a fun one. It's a fun one. Okay.
00:03:13
Speaker
um Yeah. Yeah. Well, mean, we got, you know, let let's get right into this. ah Let's do it. We're going to get to a lot of sports later on, but we're – you know this is For those of you who are listening, that is ah Ron's landscaper in the background. oh Can you hear it?
00:03:29
Speaker
Yeah. Someone's got to blow the leaves. I don't pay grandma. Just as my wife's grandma pays for it. Oh, it's something like i don't have to do. so i'm Right, right.
Trump at NBA Finals: Booed by New Yorkers?
00:03:40
Speaker
um But yeah, so for those of you that are under a rock, or not in this country, which is fair, the New York Knicks are in the NBA Finals playing the San Antonio Spurs.
00:03:52
Speaker
And the game what was it, Wednesday? Wednesday was amazing. i'll We'll get into the whole sports thing up about it later. But what I want to get into now is, you know, lot times you have...
00:04:08
Speaker
you know Mayor shows up, politicians show up, maybe the governor. But for the first time ever, the president showed up to the NBA finals. ahha And who's our president right now, Robert?
00:04:22
Speaker
Uh, some fucking guy. Donald Trump was out. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Donald Trump was there, and... the island guy. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I remember him, yeah. Donald Trump was there. He's got that Epstein tan going And I feel kind bad for the guy doing the national anthem, because when the cameras all panned to him, he was... Trump was doing his hand salute, and New Yorkers responded as New Yorkers do. They booed the shit of They booed the shit. Fox News. I think it was Fox News. They tried to minimize the booze or put in kind of fake cheers kind of thing. No. Watching it live. They booed the shit at him.
00:04:59
Speaker
But I felt bad for the guy doing the national anthem because he was killing it and there were boos going on. and It's like, no, it's not you, dude. It's it's the president. We don't like him in New York or pretty much anywhere. But.
00:05:13
Speaker
I get I did see that. And um what that said, I totally agree with you about the national anthem
National Anthem Pressure & American Culture
00:05:20
Speaker
singer. I felt so bad. He really did. Yeah, because I you know, you have to think in their mindset. This is a big moment. They're singing at a big game and it's also a lot of pressure. There's something of there's something weird about the the national anthem where I could totally see forgetting the lyrics with so much pressure. what' your wave I've seen people do.
00:05:39
Speaker
Yeah. And I don't blame them. I'm not like, what? They didn't practice enough. I'm like, dude, if you know anything about like, because I recently dealt with it with auditions, you could prepare and prepare and prepare. And then you go to the audition and it's gone. And you're like, I don't know any of my lines. I'm going to disagree with you.
00:05:57
Speaker
And here's why. Here's why. We're the only country in the world, to my knowledge, ahha that at every sporting event from, from you know, peewee peewee hockey all the way up until pro sports, we play the national anthem. Okay?
00:06:15
Speaker
this is something that This is something that they say Americans have no culture, and in a lot of ways they're right, but for this, it's kind of part of our culture. We play the national anthem at every fucking sporting event. Right. Okay? Okay.
00:06:27
Speaker
So if you go to sing the national anthem, I mean, we when we're drunk in the stands, we all know it. So when you're going to do it, yeah I get, I get, I understand the pressure for getting your lines and stuff like that. I have fucked up myself in life, but it's, you should know the national anthem.
00:06:40
Speaker
I'm sorry. I get it. I mean, i mean, I mean, you should, you shouldn't know it, but if you're going to sing it, you get it right. Yeah. Do you think ah it's because you actually have experience on stage that may be,
00:06:55
Speaker
No, because I have fucked up on stage before. I have job on stage, so I'm not. Yeah, but i so i I understand the pressure. I do. But at the same time, i don't know.
00:07:07
Speaker
Okay. Well, ah yeah, I totally get that. And the booing was amazing. I loved it. it was like, there was no mistaking it. New Yorkers responded accordingly, as as we would. Why didnt even go? Why would he even?
00:07:22
Speaker
I mean, he's allowed to go to a sporting event. That's true. well oh Didn't he have to read something? Was this at the game? Did he read something at the game? I forget. I don't know. Because I saw a video of him kind reading something and I thought it was at the game. And he said ah it's supposed to be i Donald Trump, blah, blah, blah. Oh, that was something different. That was something different. OK, but he said he said insert name here. He's like, i insert name here. i'm like, you fucking idiot. Like all you do is talk off of teleprompters. Yeah, I mean, not.
00:07:54
Speaker
You're also, you know, before you were a, you know, a president, you were a TV star. So right you should say know this. this is Yeah. I mean, so you you do have the argument of, you know, should he have been booed during that during you at all? I mean, you know, he's not there politically. He's just there.
00:08:13
Speaker
Right. So there's the argument. Like, should you have booed the president at all? I think of the circumstance. Yes. Yeah, because especially during the national anthem where he clearly doesn't give a fuck about anything like that. He doesn't he doesn't care. is also like recently gone. What was it?
00:08:29
Speaker
He was taught like that. He walked out of that interview. Did you see that? Yes. Oh my God. He did not last long. I, and I knew that. I'm sure he's not, it's not the first time he hasn't last long. Oh dude, this is a guy. He is like, he dodged the draft. He is a he dodges pivots. He will not face the music.
00:08:47
Speaker
He not. If you, if you come at him with facts. Yeah. Show me the proof. Oh, we've, we've done it as so many times. We've, you know, we've looked at you. Okay. You looked at it. Nothing. Every time they've gone into it, all litigation,
Trump's Presidency: Unconventional Behavior
00:09:00
Speaker
it's nothing's there. Nothing. Yeah.
00:09:02
Speaker
Yeah. It's crazy. Um, something else. He also fell asleep at the game too. Oh, that's right. Like night night. Yeah. That's right. You can't, you can't make fun of old, like, you know, these making fun of Biden sleeping. I don't make fun of them sleeping. I really don't. I don't. Cause you know why? Cause we're going to do the same thing.
00:09:22
Speaker
I mean, You know, your hours as the president are tough as it is. OK, and you're older, which which is something new that we've been doing, electing old, very old people to the presidency.
00:09:34
Speaker
Yeah. What do you think is going to happen? You know, yeah listen to the speaker the House. Mike Johnson talk isn't the most, you know, thrilling thing to do. So, yeah, he's going go to sleep.
00:09:45
Speaker
Yeah, blame I don't blame him. I get it. mean, it doesn't look good. Right. That we have a president who falls asleep. That doesn't look good. Even with Biden did not look fucking look good. Like right. Sleepy Joe, wake the fuck up. OK, it's kind of important.
00:09:57
Speaker
Yeah, I get it. um Also, there was a good question someone gave Jon Stewart or or I think or maybe the question led to a statement he made where because I think of how he's going to react when once his term is over.
00:10:14
Speaker
And Jon Stewart came up with an idea, which I totally get.
SpaceX, Stock Market & Personal Investments
00:10:20
Speaker
He's like, I don't think he's going to want to leave. No, probably not.
00:10:24
Speaker
Because, and I never even thought of this. He's like, there's no fucking way you're spending all this time and money building a brand new ballroom for two steak dinners and then see you later. You're not building this ballroom for the next guy.
00:10:38
Speaker
There's no way he's building this ballroom for the next guy. And if he is building it for the next guy, it's... Maybe one of the sons, his daughter. Yeah. His daughter. Yeah. Something like that.
00:10:50
Speaker
ah It's it's yeah. So that's kind of like an interesting take. i'm like, yeah, I'd even think of the ballroom. I mean, the the I'm hoping that when the time comes and this is for any future president.
00:11:03
Speaker
When it's your time to go, you go. That's a peaceful transition. Yeah. He was saying that, like. the new president would have to live in Mar-a-Lago Mar-a-Lago. And then he would still be in the white house or something like that. And it's just like, I don't know. I don't know what to expect. I just feel like he won't go quietly.
00:11:24
Speaker
Probably not. Probably not. He probably won't go quietly. Probably sit there. I'm like, I'm not leaving. But you know, once the new president takes the oath of office, secret services under them, the military, the commander in chief is to change hands.
00:11:35
Speaker
Now, technically you're kind of trespassing, you know, former president or not. You're, and we've never been at this predicament, so we don't know. Yeah. Yeah. But, um, on that hot note, uh, something that I know nothing about, uh, is really, I mean, I have stocks, but I don't know.
00:11:57
Speaker
i have stocks. Um, um, I, I, I invested in this fruit company, uh, little, little Forrest Gump reference. Um, but,
00:12:09
Speaker
SpaceX, which I didn't know about. And I'm going to check my apps right now. I didn't know they went public. They went public. I think it was yesterday or today. Uh-oh. How high are the stocks already?
00:12:20
Speaker
So they opened with the largest IPO initial public public offer, $135. To start. To start. That's the highest ever. And it jumped to $150. And last I saw, it was like $172, $173.
00:12:33
Speaker
Oh my goodness. Let me see what it is right now. It's 170. Should I buy one? No, i know you're not a financial advisor. but Should you buy one? I mean, I would say see what it does first.
00:12:45
Speaker
Yeah. I mean, didn't they just have a rocket, ah test a test rocket explode? Yeah, but I don't know, man. Like, it's like a brand. Just because it's hot doesn't mean you should do it.
00:12:58
Speaker
Right. Why you ask Warren Buffett or go read a Warren Buffett's mentor book. but I think it's Benjamin Graham or something like that. huh Read that book. I was also thinking like ah if there ever comes a day where is it open AI that owns ChatGPT. Yes, that sounds right.
00:13:14
Speaker
um If they ever go public. I don't think they're public. I don't know. I don't know. The stock market's always risky. Yeah. Yeah. Always. Airline stocks ridiculous.
00:13:24
Speaker
hmm. I also think you need to buy like a lot to really see ah a life changing difference. Like I would have to buy like 50 stocks of SpaceX or exercise the Intelligent Investor by Ben.
00:13:35
Speaker
Ben Graham. That's the book. Yeah. Well, yeah, yeah. you do you have to buy a lot You have to buy the right stock. and you have to hold it for a long time, and hopefully it matures over many years. So when you do take the money, you have a nice nest egg.
00:13:50
Speaker
Yeah. that that's That's the goal. i don't remember I have stock, yeah. I do. Do you have Dogecoin? No, I think my wife does. I still do, and I haven't touched it. I forgot about it, but I'm just like... I think I have $20 worth Bitcoin. Yeah.
00:14:06
Speaker
Oh, that's good. Well, which I which i did. Which did. It's like a fraction. Yeah. Yeah. It's so small. But I didn't even like I made purchases with like my cash app card and you got a percentage of Bitcoin back. So that's that's the only reason I've inherited Bitcoin. Otherwise, I've never actually purchased Bitcoin.
00:14:23
Speaker
I had a friend who bought a Bitcoin when it was two hundred dollars and he lost like his password. It was like on a drive and he can't find that drive anywhere. It's like lost.
00:14:36
Speaker
I'm like, dude, you're sitting on like, don't know how much it is, 80 grand right now or more? It sounds about right, yeah. that's it It's kind of crazy. I mean, if you're so if you're a day trader, if you're smart about it and you watch your stuff, then you could do it.
00:14:48
Speaker
You can absolutely do it. But the way the market is, it's crazy. yeah And especially the wars going on right now, that's also another thing. yeah If I invested a lot of my stuff, I would invest in, I don't know why I'm giving financial advice, but I would invest in fast food companies, soda companies, things like that. Things that people are going to turn to when shit hits the fan.
00:15:12
Speaker
Like PepsiCo and PepsiCo. They own PepsiCo. For those don't know, they own Taco Bell. They own Pizza Hut. They own Long John. I don't know if they own Long John Silver's. I don't know. But yeah, no, exactly.
00:15:26
Speaker
What is it Green Mountain, green Dr. Pepper Keurig or Green Mountain, whatever that he's called now. Yeah. They own Snapple. They own all the all the Keurig stuff. Dr. Pepper. I mean, yeah, that that something that people are going to turn to when shit's bad and something people are to when shit's good.
00:15:43
Speaker
yeah that's Yeah. That's good. So we got to invest in Charmin. That's what you're saying. Yo, cha cha cho oh yo, yo. I mean, you got, okay. Now you're not putting me on a fucking rant about the show. Okay.
00:15:56
Speaker
That is the worst fucking commercial of it. That family's disgusting. That bear family. Yeah. They're always shitting all the time. They're checking out each other's house. Oh, you got toilet paper. And you're like, leave your child alone. Yeah.
00:16:08
Speaker
Yeah. Fucking bear. My hiney's clean. My shamans can get the fuck out of here. You just you know what? You know where it had to have come from, right? It had to have come from that saying of like, does a bear shit? Of course. Of course. That's exactly. Which is so funny. If you think about it like this, I don't know. It's just silly. But now they live in a house and stuff.
00:16:28
Speaker
They're so open about it. It's cut. that's They used to be in the forest, right? Yeah, no, that now they got all that Charmin money and they're the fucking house. Yeah, they got that Charmin money. Yeah, yeah. I just, I think, I don't I'm just, I, the commercial annoys the shit out of me because no family in their right mind is this obsessed with it.
00:16:43
Speaker
Right, right. and They need a new marketing thing. I'm sorry. Yeah, I agree. i agree. Um, Yeah. So there's that. um What else was I going to say? i don't know.
00:16:55
Speaker
oh I was going to go into some um it to some nerdy news. Nerdy. I like nerdy stuff. Oh, maybe we should have a segment called Robert's Nerdy News. We probably should. We probably should because I have segments and you don't have anything.
00:17:09
Speaker
Yeah, I don't have any segments actually. yeah Nerdy News with Robert. Yeah, and that will offset, like, the sports because it's always sports. It'll offset the sports.
00:17:19
Speaker
It'll be like, man what what was that? Do you remember Doug's TV show? Yeah. And the twins. And the twins. And they had that theme music. Yeah. Yeah. but burn it ne there That's something like that. be boop be boop Yes. Yes. Something like, something like that. That would be great.
00:17:36
Speaker
Yeah. that That would be funny. I like that. Or I'd make it like maybe, maybe Marvel sounding. Slotch the slotch brothers. Slotch brothers. Is that what their names? Yeah. i don't remember. Oh,
00:17:47
Speaker
Oh, good times. ah you know You know what they're doing now? They fucking like, they have a shit ton of Bitcoin. they They started some Tesla company. That's what those guys are doing now. The dad makes donuts or some shit like that and they're all embarrassed because he makes donuts. Yeah. Yeah. yeah There's, yeah.
00:18:04
Speaker
You know. oh That was good. was like, yeah, you should do a nerdy thing. But on to nerdy stuff. What is this
Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake: Worth the Hype?
00:18:10
Speaker
nerdy stuff? um So big announcement. Most of our generation going love it, I think. Big announcement from Nintendo, everybody. we got a Zelda Ocarina of Time remake. air air air air wait Yeah, applause.
00:18:28
Speaker
Here we go, everybody. Everyone knows Ocarina of Time. Or did you play Ocarina of Time? Some of it. I didn't have Nintendo. off my friend I had Sega. My friends had Nintendo. So yes, but no.
00:18:40
Speaker
Do you mind if I play some Ocarina of Time right now? I do not as long as copyright things. don Here we go.
00:18:59
Speaker
That's the song of time, Ron, from the Ocarina of Time. So, um and all the ladies' pants drop. but The fact that you've learned to play that is impressive and yet annoying at the same time. Yeah, I can play ah other songs from it, but you know what? In the meantime, i'm I'm stoked for it. I love the game and I love the excitement around what's going on.
00:19:22
Speaker
Maybe one could argue that like it's not an original idea, but you know what? I'm kind of done. I'm kind of done with I like Breath of the Wild. I like Tears of the Kingdom, but I'm kind of done with that style of Link right now, that style of Zelda. It was really fun. I don't really want to see a third one. I'm ready for a new old school Link where you grab hearts to get your health back.
00:19:45
Speaker
Uh, and you know what, maybe, maybe this is the kickoff for the new Ocarina of time. And then a lot of people are wondering, um, now I know how you feel when you talk about sports. Cause I feel like I'm throwing this at you. Um, so, uh, I, a lot of people are saying, are they going to make a Majora's mask sequel after this? I don't know that that game is frustrating as fuck. I did.
00:20:05
Speaker
I do appreciate it, but I did beat it. And it's like, it's hard. Um, But feel free to send in any penetrating questions about nerdy stuff or or even your ideas on it, your your opinions on it. Are you excited for the new Ocarina of Time? Because I definitely am. It comes out 2026 on the Switch 2, which means now i have to buy a fucking Switch 2.
00:20:26
Speaker
But I'm thinking I could sell my old Switch. That will help with the payment of the Switch 2. So this coffee that I made is from Peru. Oh, okay. Okay. who I mean, you're excited about it. I think it's cool. I like, I'm familiar with it. It's cool. It's obviously, I'm not into the nerdy shit. Never been against the nerdy shit. I just, my nerdy shit.
00:20:51
Speaker
Oh,
00:20:57
Speaker
my nerdy shit has a sports and, uh, adult cartoons. That's kind of my nerd shit. I love adult cartoons. like um But yeah, I just wanted to give a shout out to Ocarina of Time Remake, everybody.

00:21:48
Speaker
All right. Well, you know, I mean, it was it was funny. It's just it's no we can't. And that's all we'll say. But here's the one I wrote. All right Maybe if they ah join our Patreon. I mean, we usually don't have to vet our jokes, but this time we actually have to.
00:22:04
Speaker

00:22:17
Speaker
Brad might appreciate it. But all right Imagine if the USA had their own version of the World Cup. Each state is its own team. So you have New York versus Wyoming or something like that. You know, ah you know who would be disqualified every year?
00:22:32
Speaker
Florida. Knowing Florida, they would eat bath salts before every game, and instead of playing the game, they just eat face. And ass.
00:22:43
Speaker
No, probably not. Probably not. ah that's Shout out to Florida. All right. we would we would be Florida would be the best team. Everyone would be terrified to play them.

All right, everyone. hate you. With that said, I actually had two jokes, but I'm only saying one. ah All right, guys. No, the other one is done. All right, guys, let's move on. Here we go. Next segment.
00:24:13
Speaker
Oh, this is Ron with sports. Robert's favorite part of the entire program. We have sports. The World Cup began yesterday. Mexico getting a victory in North and not North Korea. Jesus Christ. The Korea Republic coming out. The Korea Republic coming out and beating Czechia two to one. So World Cups. USA plays Paraguay today. Very excited about that. 9 p.m. Eastern. Also, we have the Stanley Cup finals. Carolina won a few nights ago. Carolina's up 3-2 against the Vegas Golden Knights. And the New York Knicks versus San Antonio Spurs in a thrilling, thrilling game four. Knicks make the largest comeback in NBA Finals history scoring. Happy Pride.
00:24:55
Speaker
I believe it was 29 points to come back and beat the Spurs. I think the final score was 107 to 106. Jalen Brunson missing the three, but OG Ananobi going and making the shot. Knicks in five. Let's go, Knicks.
00:25:11
Speaker
Let's go, Nick. And that's me with sports. All right. Let's go, Nick, k Nick, nickck Nick, to Nick. Also, Aaron Judge is injured and will be out for a few weeks. Very sore to the Yankee fans.
00:25:23
Speaker
Oh. Judge is a great player, um but yeah he's got some rib issues, and he's going to out for a while. My wife is not happy. i Yeah. So we'll see how that goes. All right. Well, in that case, thank you. That was Ron with sports, but um let's go into... You know, I have to work very hard to do my sports announcer voice for that, okay? I have to put on whole thing for you.
00:25:42
Speaker
I thought it was a whole... If I had a video, I thought it wouldd be a different person talking. um So, um but hey, you know, one could say we're just a couple of Lost Boys. You know what i mean?
00:25:54
Speaker
Oh, you're a cunt. Anyway, yes, yes, yes. Lost Boys. Yes, yes. and Did you see the movie? Did you see the original movie? The vampire? Yeah. No. Okay. I saw it long time ago. I think I saw it at Brad's house. i'm not I could be wrong about that. I don't know. I saw it long time ago.
00:26:09
Speaker
However, I went
'Lost Boys' Musical: Set Design & Emotional Impact
00:26:10
Speaker
to the musical last night. Oh, you went, oh, that's cool. I saw the musical last night on Broadway. um Two of the actors won Tony Awards for Best Actors. I also won Best Set Design and Best Lighting.
00:26:21
Speaker
on The sets were probably the best I've ever seen on a show. um Loved it. The music was great. i I teared up a couple times. what One song, it was about... um a mother singing to her son about how, like, she's she's kind of lost him.
00:26:37
Speaker
and shoot the mom's singing to the main character, Michael. And I'm like, I'm over here just, like, thinking of my own mom. And I'm like, oh, my God, my tears are gone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. um it was if I went in there with low expectations. I mean, knowing how it's doing well, but I went in there like just not worried it was going to be too poppy of a musical. Yeah. there wasn't. i think it's based off the band The Rescuers. I think that's their name. Okay. I could be wrong. I'm gonna double check that. But yeah, it was good. So it brings me to my question, Robert.
00:27:08
Speaker
Do you think movies should become musicals? That's a really good question. You're you're in the industry? ah The rescuers, yes. The music is by the rescuers.
00:27:21
Speaker
um I think if there is... a story to be told. Sure. I think sometimes it can be gimmicky, maybe something that, cause it's like, Oh, people love this movie. Thus like back to the future was a musical. Yes. And I actually didn't like it. I, I, it's my favorite movie.
00:27:42
Speaker
um I just found it kind of forgettable. It just, it just, it was a cool experience. Don't get me wrong. Like I didn't, it wasn't like bored or anything, but I'm like, I kind of just want to watch the movie. But then I saw Doubtfire, the musical on Broadway. How was that?
00:27:58
Speaker
I liked it. You liked it? I liked it because, you know, you go in, you you can't help yourself. You go in comparing him to Ron, Ron, to will to Ronald Williams. um That's that's you on stage with the rainbow things. Ronald Williams. But ah to Robin Williams. Already crossed my mind. Very good. Very good. Yeah. ah And ah but once you realize they're they're doing their own thing, then then you let go of the Robin Williams stuff. And it's just ah it's an impressive feat where this this lead actor has to switch between costumes very quickly. That was hard for me to do. And I still think it's hard for me to do in the live action Aladdin.
00:28:37
Speaker
Oh, yeah. I was. Will Smith did the first number friend like me. Is that this person? Yes, i think that's the number. That and um the Prince Ali song.
00:28:48
Speaker
All I could think of. how much that part was written for Robin Williams. Yeah. And it's like, I'm watching Will Smith. I'm like, you're doing Robin. Yeah. And, but it's kind of hard not to.
00:29:00
Speaker
Right. Um, so there are some, I, like I said, lost boys. I think the movie's great. I also think the musical was phenomenal. I've also seen the wedding singer on Broadway.
00:29:10
Speaker
I saw that twice. That was poppy. Um, I think when i was in theater school, legally blonde became a musical. Yeah, that's true. That was, I think my stomach just growled. um And all the girls were running, oh my God, oh my God, you guys.
00:29:24
Speaker
yeah That was one of the songs. Now, sometimes musicals are better than the original movie. Right. Can you give an example of one? I have one where comes right to my head. um Finding Neverland?
00:29:36
Speaker
No. Oh, okay. I saw Finding Neverland. That was really good. Little Shop of Horrors. Oh, I could see that. could definitely see that. That's like a musical even in a movie. but the Have you seen the the black and white movie, the original?
00:29:51
Speaker
No, actually haven't. It was not a musical. Kind of a dark comedy kind of thing. Oh, I didn't know this. Okay. So in that movie, there's a patient who lie who likes the pain of going to a dentist. They like they like all that stuff, so which is also seen in the movie um played by Bill Murray.
00:30:06
Speaker
okay In the original, a very young Jack Nicholson la it Oh. So you had to see Jack that young. It's like, holy shit. Yeah. So in that case, the movie, the musical was significantly better.
00:30:22
Speaker
it' It is my favorite musical to this day. um I've never performed in it, but I have worked like behind the scenes and stuff like that at Stage West Community Playhouse.
00:30:32
Speaker
Yeah. um Also, ah there was one like Wicked was not a remake of a movie, but it's like So it was the book and then they put it a musical.
00:30:44
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's right. um but But that's done really well. So the question is, like should should movies be made into a musical? And I think you said it. if I guess if it's done right.
00:30:56
Speaker
If it's done right. Right. um You know what movie I am shocked is not a musical yet. I am so shocked and I would be one of the first people in line to go is Nightmare Before Christmas.
00:31:09
Speaker
Why the hell is that? Because that already is a musical. Yeah, but like, why not bring that to Broadway? Like, that would be an insane. I'm sure it's been attempted. Maybe Danny Elfman says, fuck no.
00:31:22
Speaker
It could be. I'm thinking it has to be a rights thing. It just has to be. I mean, Disney owns it. I mean, you know, yeah but they obviously know how to make musicals. Mm hmm. I mean, Aladdin's been on forever. Beauty and the Beast was there forever. the Lion King. The Lion King, which is probably their best one. is the they I think The Lion King was their first Broadway musical.
00:31:43
Speaker
i could be wrong. I don't know. not yeah well I don't care as much. but I guess it's a lot harder to to ah bring a non-musical movie into Broadway. You know, like Doubtfire must have been a challenge. Yeah.
00:31:57
Speaker
um Doubtfire was probably a challenge. What's that? Oh, God, I can't think of it. La Cage of Falls. which is the what the Birdcage based off of. Harvey Fierstein wrote the book for that, so that became a musical.
00:32:10
Speaker
um yeah and Yeah. But you have but you have you have someone like Harvey Fierstein writing the book for it. you're It's going to be a success. Right, right. like um But yeah. you Yeah.
00:32:21
Speaker
I would love to see the sets of Nightmare Before Christmas, and I don't know if like the lead should just be really tall or should be on stilts. That's a If you could capture... And maybe Tim Burton has the rights. Maybe it's Tim, it's not Danny Elfman. Yeah. um But if you can capture tim Burton's mind and put it on stage. Right. That could be very successful.
00:32:42
Speaker
Yeah. be What do you think they should just cast a really tall actor or do you think ah it should be someone on like stilts for Jack?
00:32:52
Speaker
That'd be a lot. That'd be really hard. I would say probably a suit or something to make him look taller and thinner. Yeah. Yeah. And and I'm not saying like the tall, tall stilts like you see. No, but something to something like he's a foot taller than Sally.
00:33:06
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. Like, ah super, like, taller than everyone there. um i also think just, like, doing shit with, like, maybe a weird, like, mask with the the mayor. Like, mayor think there's so much i think fun stuff. I think they need to write a few more songs. Boogie Everything's glow in the dark. Like, With blacklight and stuff. Yeah. I think they need to write more songs if they ever bring it to Broadway. I don't think there's enough Uh, okay. Yeah. Cause I have gone to the Hollywood bowl where they show the movie in front of an orchestra and Danny Elfman's there and he sings. I've been there and I went to, um, I, I just missed it when Paul, it was the one after Paul Rubens died, but it, but I happened to catch Catherine O'Hara there and it was her last time doing that show.
00:33:51
Speaker
Um, you know, Danny el and also Oogie Boogie died as well. yeah I was just going say Danny Elfman's like the only one left from the real cast. Yeah. And I'm not talking, I'm not talking about Chris Sarandon who did the speaking voice of Jack Skellington, but like Catherine's gone. All Rubens is gone.
00:34:08
Speaker
i forget the guy whose name played Oogie Boogie, but he's, he's gone. Yeah. and they They were for the guy who did Oogie Boogie. I think he was all, he was in a bunch of other things too. Yeah. He was like, he, he stole the show too. He really did.
00:34:20
Speaker
He has one song. Yeah. He has one song and man, song woof. And I think they even ah sang it twice. Like they did it again at the end of the concert because I think everyone that song is so much fun. It's and he like just owned it.
00:34:35
Speaker
You a great job with that. But I got so lucky with Catherine O'Hara because it was a three night show and she was only doing it one out of the three nights. And I happened to get the one that she was at. So I got so lucky.
00:34:47
Speaker
You did. Also got to see her on the studio, which was cool. That is cool. Yeah. So I was standing right next to her and I'm just like, I don't know what to say. Probably nothing. Look at you, Robert, beating all the celebrities. I know That's just my life every day.
00:35:03
Speaker
Oh, you know who was on my flight? this so We get celebrities on our flight sometimes. Who was on my flight? The guy who played Montoyo in Princess Bride. Oh, yeah. Mandy Patinkin. Patinkin was on. He was on my flight. That's cool. Oh, nice. Nice.
00:35:22
Speaker
Apparently he was really Yeah, yeah. ah That's cool. um But, hey, I'm trying to think of – anything else, but, um, I know going to be a short episode today. People are going to short one, which is fine.
00:35:37
Speaker
It was a rough one, but Hey, we do have a, we do have something to do. And, uh, don't know. let's Let's say, let's just get right into it.
00:35:46
Speaker
Oh, Oh,
