00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919
<v Speaker 1>Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. It must be nice to be Sebastian Maniscalco.

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:17.399
<v Speaker 1>He caught up with Billboard, who points out that in

4
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>the first six months of the year he grossed thirty

5
00:00:20.359 --> 00:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>five and a half million, sold three hundred and sixty

6
00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:25.679
<v Speaker 1>one thousand tickets over thirty shows. None of that includes

7
00:00:25.960 --> 00:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>five nights at Madison Square Garden. Last September, Sebastian was

8
00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>number twenty five among all genres of live performers, just

9
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.719
<v Speaker 1>below Dua Lipa. Sebastian told Billboard that's nice to hear.

10
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of competition out there, so I didn't

11
00:00:39.479 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>think I would have been the number one guy, but

12
00:00:40.799 --> 00:00:42.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna lie. It's nice to be on top.

13
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:45.359
<v Speaker 1>Why does he think his comedy appeals to such a

14
00:00:45.359 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>wide range of people. Sebastian said, well, the observation material

15
00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 1>I do hits a lot of different notes for people.

16
00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about one specific thing. Although I'm Italian American,

17
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of my comedy resonated with the

18
00:00:54.640 --> 00:00:57.840
<v Speaker 1>Italian American community. At first, that was never really my intention.

19
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>I've always done material like hey, I went to Chipotle

20
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>or ever notice when your doorbell rings. Those are very

21
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>broad topics that anybody can enjoy. Then I honed in

22
00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 1>on my Italian upbringing and my Italian father, which resonated

23
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not only with people with Italian immigrant backgrounds, but Spanish, Greek,

24
00:01:11.439 --> 00:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>wherever you come from. You know what, I feel like,

25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:15.159
<v Speaker 1>there's more when I look into the audience. I feel

26
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>like I haven't tapped into a mainstream vibe. I like

27
00:01:18.319 --> 00:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>to look into the audience and see more Chinese people,

28
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 1>more Black people, more any people, because I feel like

29
00:01:22.959 --> 00:01:25.239
<v Speaker 1>the comedy speaks to a lot of different people and

30
00:01:25.319 --> 00:01:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I haven't felt like I've tapped into it yet. I

31
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:30.439
<v Speaker 1>just feel like there's more out there for me. Here's

32
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>my thought. And again, the guy is super popular doesn't

33
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>need my help. I think the reason there would be

34
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 1>because of he does do a stylized delivery that I

35
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:42.040
<v Speaker 1>think if he backed it down a little, it may

36
00:01:42.079 --> 00:01:44.439
<v Speaker 1>open it up a little. But again, clearly does not

37
00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>need my help as I record a podcast into the basement.

38
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>But yes, the question that would be my one. Cent

39
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:54.239
<v Speaker 1>Leslie Jones was wearing a full length gold lumm a

40
00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.920
<v Speaker 1>ball gown, said it makes her look skinny. I'm six

41
00:01:57.959 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>feet tall. I can't cut my feet off. I can't

42
00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>being a scary mf or. This is who I am.

43
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.959
<v Speaker 1>Let me work with who I am. I'm the type

44
00:02:03.959 --> 00:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>of person who if I'm happy, everybody in the room's

45
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>going to be happy, and if I'm sad, it's going

46
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>to be very quiet and tense. I'm a temperature guider

47
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:12.319
<v Speaker 1>in the room. She discussed current events and said we're

48
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>repeating the worst part of history right now, but maybe

49
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:16.639
<v Speaker 1>it's for the lesson that we didn't learn the last time.

50
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.439
<v Speaker 1>She talked about a dark period of her comedy in

51
00:02:19.479 --> 00:02:21.919
<v Speaker 1>the aughts after her brother died. She said, I was evil,

52
00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:24.759
<v Speaker 1>not evil, just angry, performing and angry. My routine was raw.

53
00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:26.919
<v Speaker 1>Started getting where I thought, I don't give an f

54
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:28.759
<v Speaker 1>whethy you all laugh. I was destroying it. That's when

55
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I started wearing a mohawk. People thought I did it

56
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>for fashion. Nah, I just didn't want to comb my hair.

57
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>I was bare minimum getting out of bed. She was

58
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 1>taking drugs and says she doesn't mean weed, I mean drugs. Drugs.

59
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:42.759
<v Speaker 1>She got SNL in twenty thirteen, at age forty seven.

60
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>She was the oldest new Hire the show had ever made.

61
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>People don't understand that first year, maybe the first two seasons,

62
00:02:48.039 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 1>I was really in love with Colin Jost. I didn't

63
00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:52.199
<v Speaker 1>know how it was going to happen, whether we just

64
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>work late together and make out in his office and

65
00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>drink whiskey. I had all the visions. He was so

66
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>cute and funny, and he was just so white, such

67
00:02:57.719 --> 00:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>a white nerd for app boy that I was like,

68
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>I want him. Every time I'd see him in the corridor,

69
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd shout, I love you, Colin, you beautiful white stud.

70
00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Leslie will be touring the US from September nineteenth through November. Yeahoo,

71
00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Canada talks to you. Friend of the show, John Marco Saraisi.

72
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 1>He says social media has made his material accessible to

73
00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>those around the world, saying, I think there was a

74
00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:18.479
<v Speaker 1>time when I wouldn't be able to do what I

75
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:21.360
<v Speaker 1>do internationally until I was like a megastar, until it

76
00:03:21.400 --> 00:03:23.240
<v Speaker 1>was big theaters. But it's definitely at a scale where

77
00:03:23.240 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I can go to a comedy club in Europe and

78
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.439
<v Speaker 1>enough people know me from the Internet they're excited to

79
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>see me. But in another way, it allows me to

80
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>feed into my ADHD where if there's something I really

81
00:03:31.159 --> 00:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about right now, or something super topical,

82
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>it's going to go way tomorrow. I can make that

83
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.439
<v Speaker 1>joke and put it out there in my own capacity

84
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.000
<v Speaker 1>in a way that if I were recurring guests on

85
00:03:38.039 --> 00:03:40.199
<v Speaker 1>the Daily Show I could have. That's when I could

86
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 1>have made my jokes about Rock and Elon Musk. But

87
00:03:42.199 --> 00:03:45.199
<v Speaker 1>especially these days, the new cycle moves so quickly. So

88
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:47.319
<v Speaker 1>does comedy have to do in building a platform? Lets

89
00:03:47.360 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 1>me get all those thoughts out, and in a business sense,

90
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.759
<v Speaker 1>it gives me more product to sell Christ to Stefano

91
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>talked to Yahoo about making fun of his father, saying,

92
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I love poking fun at him because I know he

93
00:03:56.479 --> 00:03:58.400
<v Speaker 1>can take it. My whole life, he showed me what

94
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>love means through comedy. It always meant make fun of me,

95
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:03.319
<v Speaker 1>but that was basically him and his brother or uncle

96
00:04:03.560 --> 00:04:05.680
<v Speaker 1>saying I love you. That's why I make fun of

97
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>him so much, because I feel like it's really me

98
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>saying to my dad, hey, I love you. His fiancee

99
00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>is cool about the jokes. She says. I think she's like,

100
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:15.199
<v Speaker 1>go be as funnies you need to be. We got

101
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.959
<v Speaker 1>to pay off this mortgage. He praised Hulu and said

102
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Netflix is great. All these places are great, but Hulu

103
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:22.040
<v Speaker 1>they don't have that many comedy specials. So I had

104
00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity to really stand out and not get lost

105
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.319
<v Speaker 1>in the shuffle, and to be part of the inaugural

106
00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Hulu Comedy Specials class with Jim Gaffickin and Bill Burr

107
00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Greats. It was really cool. He discussed the tiktokization

108
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:34.959
<v Speaker 1>of comedy and said, initially I'd get recognized in the

109
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>street and someone would be like, oh, you're the comedian

110
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>from TikTok. I'd almost get offended by it. I'm not TikToker.

111
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I have comedy specials. And then all that went away,

112
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 1>where I was like, Hey, whatever medium people see me in,

113
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:45.399
<v Speaker 1>just be grateful and feel blessed that they're watching you

114
00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.319
<v Speaker 1>and they're even acknowledging you. It's not about getting recognized,

115
00:04:48.319 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>that's all ego. It's about my work and it was

116
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:51.800
<v Speaker 1>memorable enough for them to be like, oh I remember you.

117
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Especially with the mindless scrolling wheel do every day, we're

118
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>taking in thousands of videos and images every day. If

119
00:04:57.879 --> 00:04:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I could stick out to a person, I feel really

120
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:03.519
<v Speaker 1>blessed by that. Cinema Bland talk to Pete Davidson. He's

121
00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.439
<v Speaker 1>going to be separate from the Amazon movie with Eddie Murphy,

122
00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>a horror movie called The Home. Pete will play a

123
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:11.920
<v Speaker 1>broken man who takes a job at a retirement home,

124
00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>only to discover the sinister plot of the film. Pete says,

125
00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.639
<v Speaker 1>acting is just so embarrassing because I'm a stand up,

126
00:05:18.680 --> 00:05:20.199
<v Speaker 1>so you know, it's very ridiculous. So in order for

127
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 1>me to get there and be like, oh, I can

128
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:23.639
<v Speaker 1>only do that two or three times before we start laughing,

129
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean. SGA Magazine caught up with

130
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Monty Python or Michael Paymin. His wife Helen passed away

131
00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>two years ago, and Michael says, we spend so much

132
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:34.959
<v Speaker 1>time together in this place, just the two of us,

133
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 1>that she's always here. Her pictures are everywhere, the chairs

134
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>we used to sit in, the book she used to read,

135
00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:42.199
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing. They've become reassuring. I'm pleased to

136
00:05:42.199 --> 00:05:43.720
<v Speaker 1>be able to say this now, because at one time

137
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I thought those traces of her would be a source

138
00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:47.560
<v Speaker 1>of continuing grief. It's much better than that. I feel

139
00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.519
<v Speaker 1>we coexist as well. I can see why people say

140
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.319
<v Speaker 1>it takes two years or so before we response gradually changes.

141
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.319
<v Speaker 1>It becomes less about loss and more about the spirit

142
00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>of that person being around. So that's nice. I feel

143
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.279
<v Speaker 1>less grief now and more than I got to keep

144
00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:03.199
<v Speaker 1>doing things, looking after the children we made together. I'll

145
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:05.160
<v Speaker 1>talk to her as if she's still there. I'll show

146
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:07.600
<v Speaker 1>some spectacular bit of incompetence that I know she would

147
00:06:07.639 --> 00:06:10.040
<v Speaker 1>have found funny. Then I'll hear myself saying something in

148
00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:11.439
<v Speaker 1>the way she would have said it and laugh. Even

149
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>though I'm the only one there, Imagining her being there

150
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.040
<v Speaker 1>makes me laugh. You have to adapt. I didn't want

151
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.920
<v Speaker 1>to be dependent on the family to come around every day.

152
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.199
<v Speaker 1>I don't cook. Unfortunately, there were various areas where I

153
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.399
<v Speaker 1>thought I might be vulnerable, but it turns out quite

154
00:06:22.399 --> 00:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>good at being on my own. Michael has a new book,

155
00:06:25.120 --> 00:06:27.360
<v Speaker 1>or There and Back Diaries nineteen ninety nine to two

156
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>thousand and nine. It's out in paperback. His Python cast

157
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:33.279
<v Speaker 1>mate Eric Idol spoke to The Guardian. He used to

158
00:06:33.319 --> 00:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>get annoyed when people would try and take pictures this

159
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.160
<v Speaker 1>back in the day before Selfie's, he said, I used

160
00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:40.639
<v Speaker 1>to be really unpleasant. Then Robin Williams taught me that

161
00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>that sort of encounter is very important to people, So

162
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.439
<v Speaker 1>be nice, not brusque, because they'll never forget it. But

163
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:46.879
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to spend twenty minutes with them. So

164
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:49.199
<v Speaker 1>when they come up, I'll say I'm Eric, what's your name.

165
00:06:49.399 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Then they become a person and see you as a

166
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.600
<v Speaker 1>person too. There's a human connection, not some stupid story thing.

167
00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.399
<v Speaker 1>It becomes more normal and easier to leave. Now that's interesting.

168
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>When I met the captain of the Yankees, he walked

169
00:06:59.759 --> 00:07:01.959
<v Speaker 1>up to me and I was at his place of business.

170
00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:03.639
<v Speaker 1>I was in his office, so it's not like I

171
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 1>ran into him at the mall. I was there to

172
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:07.959
<v Speaker 1>see him. But he walked in, look me in the eye,

173
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.759
<v Speaker 1>stuck out his hand and go, hi, I am Derek.

174
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:12.360
<v Speaker 1>And I'm like thinking, like, yeah, I know, but you know, okay,

175
00:07:12.399 --> 00:07:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I got it. Eric Idol talked about how George Harrison

176
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>agreed to fund the Life of Brian film because George

177
00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:19.959
<v Speaker 1>wanted to see it. Eric said, he changed my life.

178
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:21.759
<v Speaker 1>We were very close. I was there at his deathbed.

179
00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't frightened of death. He thought he'd escape rebirth.

180
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'd give anything to be reborn. Only thing

181
00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:30.160
<v Speaker 1>we ever disagreed on he still laughed when I said it.

182
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.879
<v Speaker 1>At George's funeral, I said I'd like to thank Marlborough,

183
00:07:32.879 --> 00:07:34.759
<v Speaker 1>without whom he wouldn't be here this morning. Got a

184
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.879
<v Speaker 1>huge laugh. It's not really the right thing to say,

185
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:40.600
<v Speaker 1>but also, let's name the names of people responsible. With

186
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>season eight of Rick and Morty wrapping up, Dan Hormon,

187
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 1>the creator, spoke to The Holly Reporter and said he's

188
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 1>already written season ten episodes. He gets confused when everything's airing.

189
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I understand that I often record a head on this podcast.

190
00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:58.439
<v Speaker 1>Then I'll be like, wait, did I share that with

191
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 1>the audience ent or the future that happens? Arma says,

192
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm really bad at keeping track these days, because we're

193
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.199
<v Speaker 1>so on schedule that we're ahead of schedule. I was

194
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 1>told last night at ComicCon will be doing a table

195
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>read of the two Bets episode, which was season eight

196
00:08:11.639 --> 00:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>to sixth episode. My response was, maybe I should punch

197
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.839
<v Speaker 1>that script up, and my producer said it already aired

198
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:19.399
<v Speaker 1>on television. He's not used to being ahead of schedule.

199
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:21.319
<v Speaker 1>I sometimes wake up in a cold sweat, going how

200
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>do I destroy everything? How do I slow it down?

201
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>The answer is I can't wyant't you go work on

202
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.079
<v Speaker 1>the community movie? Buddy? Show runner Scott Marterer has already

203
00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>started doing voice work for season nine. The writing team

204
00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.679
<v Speaker 1>has started working on season ten. Harmon said, there's episodes

205
00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>of season ten that I'm already so excited about. That's

206
00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>the frustrating thing of being on schedule animation. Can we

207
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>fast forward times so people can get a look at

208
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.120
<v Speaker 1>the bad Boy? I don't know if it's sad for

209
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>the listeners to hear they're like, why are three minutes ahead?

210
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>That means you're not going to have an amazing Jeffrey

211
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>Epstein episode. All right, let's take a look at the

212
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.000
<v Speaker 1>fringe from voicemag dot e UK. They caught up with

213
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Kntor. He gave some naughty answers. I don't even

214
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>know if I can clean this up. The question was

215
00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>what are you most excited to share with an audience.

216
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 1>Tom Lost said, no spoilers, but maybe when he does

217
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>something with a cello that I can't clean up, or

218
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.639
<v Speaker 1>when I lap dance in the first row or make

219
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>out with an inflatable doll. I think you get the idea.

220
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:17.799
<v Speaker 1>What kind of show this is? To maas says, I

221
00:09:17.799 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>think what's so fab about fringe is that it's a

222
00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:23.440
<v Speaker 1>massive equalizer. No one knows me, but that's scary but thrilling.

223
00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:25.159
<v Speaker 1>I have to win people over every night before my

224
00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 1>best leave it all on stage. Make my mark. Who's

225
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:30.720
<v Speaker 1>asked about his fringe survival kit? What are the three

226
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>most essential non eyevious items in yours? His answer? Headphones, lubricant,

227
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>and hutzba. Who has shaped your artistic influence? The answer,

228
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Lady Gaga, She's my temple. It's the closest thing I

229
00:09:42.279 --> 00:09:44.879
<v Speaker 1>have to religion. Theater meets pop meets camp meets passion

230
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 1>meets therapy meets mayhem meets nostalgia meets Italy, he meets

231
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:55.559
<v Speaker 1>poetry meets culture. It's genius. She's genius. She's the blueprint. Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, showstopping, spectacular,

232
00:09:55.639 --> 00:09:58.919
<v Speaker 1>never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before.

233
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I'mafraid to reference, not reference. Putting a blender, grap on it,

234
00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.759
<v Speaker 1>vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it. Social
