[0:00] Jess: Being on stage feels like someone else, but also more yourself than you've ever felt. This feels like getting to live in your imagination. Seeing everyone again brought back so many memories. Being able to be in this show will be one of the greatest treasures of my life.

[0:24] Liz Eston: Recording.

[0:25] Jess: Okay. Now count down to clap.

[0:27] Liz Eston: Three, two, one.

[0:30] Jess: Magical. Hippity Hobbity. Hey yo, it's the Patreon with Cheese Podcast. And as you know, it's your host Jess, and I'm here as always with our hizzle.

[0:40] Liz Eston: It's Liz Eston. How are you doing?

[0:43] Jess: I'm good. I'm good. My home skillet biscuit.

[0:46] Liz Eston: Jess is trying to be hip, guys.

[0:48] Jess: I'm scared.

[0:50] Liz Eston: It's the 90s.

[0:52] Jess: It's always the 90s. And we're in Florida. The hippest place in the world.

[0:57] Liz Eston: It's not just it's not full of old people.

[0:58] Jess: What are you talking about? Alright, well, we're just gonna dive into this. This is episode five of Encore where we're in Florida. We're two and Annie Get Your Gun. This had the most crazies in a cast I have ever seen. I don't mean to talk shit about real people. I didn't. Uh but these people are borderline crazy. This feel like the real housewives of Florida. The real housewives of Annie Get Your Gun. But on the not on the good side, we got Adam Wachter back. He's been gone for a while. If he was not in this episode, this episode would 100% just be uncomfortable.

[1:35] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[1:35] Jess: Every time they cut to him be going like this is going terrible, but I'm not saying anything. I'm like, yeah. No, he's saying it. No, no, no. He's 100% saying it. He's like, let's just say that was good. Someone said, Yeah, let's just say it. Yeah, yeah, we can pretend. Yeah, that's a lie, but yeah, let's just say that went well. My goodness. Um, once again, I love Adam Wachter. He's the best.

[1:53] Liz Eston: He is.

[1:55] Jess: Um I would never want to be in a production with him. He he would be very, very honest. He scares me.

[2:00] Liz Eston: In a best way.

[2:03] Jess: Like he's very sweet, very kind, but also he he he ain't gonna hide how he feels about a situation. He knows what he wants. And he knows what it's gonna gotta sound like. Alright, so what's the drama this time, Liz? What what what's the sitch, as they would say in Kim Possible terms?

[2:20] Liz Eston: Well, we got another ex's drama, because every episode of Encore has X's drama. So Who has this much hung up on their high school exes? Like, seriously. You're like 35, my lady. I know she was cheated on and she wants to get closure, but Jesus Christ. Fuck closure. You're married. You're married, you deliver babies, we're living like she shows up in full like cat costume. She's wearing a fucking cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Like, I'm gonna steal the lead. And then Wayne over here is just like, I didn't know I had to fight for this.

[3:00] Jess: Yeah, I I thought I was just getting this. I rehearsed this, you know. I I learned the lines for this role. And I can't believe that the director let that happen. Like, alright, let's let's see what you do. I I can hear like the TV director like, do it, do it for the do it, do it for the drama, and then cut her wings. Cause I know from the starter he was never gonna let that happen.

[3:21] Liz Eston: Absolutely not.

[3:21] Jess: I just love who's just like you guys did great, but logically, this is stupid. So no. Logically, this is a waste of time. And uh I had seen this episode before and I knew what was coming. So this time around, I watched the people in the background, which would have been the me in this situation. You know, the one happily cast as a character actor, watching the drama play out and like wasting everyone's time. The minute she walked in late dressed like a cowboy, I was like, okay, this is just the real housewives of Annie Get Your Gun, and this is gonna be stupid. I don't know what I expected from Florida. Um this is the trashiest episode so far, so honestly.

[4:04] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[4:05] Jess: Um, and then the girl that does get to play Annie, like, she's like a crystal fiend that doesn't like aura. Like, she's like, I can't work today because it's the moon the Gemini moon is out. No, I think there's something about how the sign hanging is messing with her Gemini moon or some such witch. What the hell? People are fucking crazy in Florida. It's ridiculous. And there's also the guy who lost his job who like is constantly having job interviews and has a breakdown. He doesn't like being emasculated by his wife.

[4:43] Liz Eston: He doesn't.

[4:43] Jess: Well, he's a stay-at-home dad now, so but my dad's been a stay-at-home dad for most of his since I was born. But he had he's a job, so there's different breakdown gender norms.

[4:43] Liz Eston: Hell yeah.

[4:43] Jess: Stay at home dad, because after three kids at a certain point, you gotta stay home.

[5:01] Liz Eston: Yeah, I I mean I'd be a stay-at-home dad if I had any interest in having kids.

[5:05] Jess: Oh, yeah, yeah. Just make sure they don't don't kill each other.

[5:09] Liz Eston: Yeah, it's pretty easy to do. Make them lunch, keep them entertained. I'm sure it's difficult, but yeah, yeah, because they want attention. They want to go to the park and shit, but you have candy crush, it's not the worst thing. Sure, just give an iPad. Call it a day.

[5:20] Jess: Might as well.

[5:24] Liz Eston: Yeah. Um, alright, all right. Let's talk about who else there is. I don't think there's anyone else worth talking about. Uh, there's um you have there's the barbershop guy who Yeah, who cheated on the cheated on Cowboy Girl Lady.

[5:38] Jess: Yeah.

[5:39] Liz Eston: And he's like, I want to be an actor, but I open a barber shop. He he's got fresh hair, I will say that. His beard looks good. He has a great beard. But the first time you see him, he's wearing a fedora, so I was like, oh no.

[5:50] Jess: Well, the same with uh um gay man um comes in with a fedora and shorts on and immediately jumps into someone's arms. His husband couldn't even make his fiancee couldn't even make it to the show because I think he went across the country. He he didn't stay local because you know he had talent.

[6:05] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[6:06] Jess: He went to New York, I think. So it's like Yeah. I can just imagine the New York boyfriend being like, Florida. Florida, honey. Really? You want to go back to Florida? How much do you think I love you? Because it's definitely not enough to go to Florida. It's like hurry. I'll send flowers though. Like, hurry up and get back here. We need to not be in you need to not be in Florida. I feel like that's bad for your health and even worse for mine.

[6:34] Liz Eston: How are you doing? My fiance's in Florida, so I'm just really worried about him. Like I hope he comes back alive. I hope he comes back okay and not super old and retired and sad.

[6:44] Jess: Yeah.

[6:45] Liz Eston: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Um offense against Florida in case people are from Florida listening to this.

[6:51] Jess: Oh my god, if you're from Florida, what are you doing listening to this?

[6:55] Liz Eston: I'm kidding. You're welcome here. I'm sure you're not like the rest of the world. We're just making fun of your home state. It's fine. I make fun of my home state all the time.

[7:02] Jess: Yeah, same. So it's great. Yeah, we all make fun of our home states. Nobody likes where they're from.

[7:07] Liz Eston: Exactly. Except except if you're from like New York or something, and it's like, oh, I'm in the city of dreams. I was born here. I'm never gonna leave. I'm a New Yorker.

[7:15] Jess: Yeah, I I get it. Stop talking about it.

[7:19] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[7:20] Jess: So how did the performance go? I thought this was like a pretty smooth performance, all things considered.

[7:27] Liz Eston: Yeah, there's like one line slip-up, which was obvious, but they were covered. Uh I think I went well. I also had to read the plot summary of Annie Get Your Gun while watching this, so because they didn't know what was happening, and I was like, oh wow, I hate this. So please explain the plot of Annie Get Your Gun for the masses.

[7:46] Liz Eston: Okay, I'll do this in the vaguest way possible because I can barely remember it. Uh so it's Annie is Annie's Annie Oakley, and she's a sharpshooter, and she competes against this asshole named Frank, who's real sexist and thinks the woman he needs to marry is like smells nice and wears good clothes. And then Annie sings a song about how you can't get a husband when you have a gun, which is like what the fuck does that even mean? And if my opinion, that's the only way to get a husband.

[8:15] Jess: Yeah, exactly. How am I supposed to get someone to stay stick with me the rest of my life? If I don't have a gun, I'm not threatening them with gun violence. It's called a shotgun wedding for a reason.

[8:28] Liz Eston: Exactly. Uh and then they like go on tour and they sing there's no business like show business, which is played 80 times in this episode, and I hate this song now. I hate it. It's so annoying. Um, have you ever seen all that jazz?

[8:43] Jess: No.

[8:44] Liz Eston: Ooh, we might have to cover it on this show eventually. But it has the best use of that song ever, and I don't want to spoil it for you because it's also the last shot of the film. God bless. Uh yeah, but basically they do a touring show of gun violence or something, because that's what you did in the 1900s.

[9:03] Jess: Yeah.

[9:04] Liz Eston: That sounds fun. Uh there's a Native American there who's presumably played by a white person in every production of this show.

[9:11] Jess: You are right.

[9:12] Liz Eston: Which is oh my god. And I'm pretty sure at the end of Act Two, Annie gets adopted into a Native American tribe. Classy timeless musical. I'm glad that the Encore episode didn't focus on that.

[9:26] Jess: Yeah. There's like one shot during the finale where you see like the Native American character just standing there, but they never mention it. It's like, thank God. But yeah. It's not focused on.

[9:36] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[9:37] Jess: So there's a gunfight, there's will they or won't they stuff, like all the stuff from old musicals you love, presumably. I don't know. And then the show ends, and you we are neither better nor worse for it. And we feel nothing except was that kind of sexist? Was that kind of racist? Was that kind of a bunch of other ists that it could apply to it?

[9:59] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[10:00] Jess: Um if people put on a bad show decently, is it still a bad show?

[10:07] Liz Eston: Yes.

[10:08] Jess: Yes. Cause the if you're if your source material is questionable, you're gonna have what should they be doing on Encore though?

[10:15] Jess: Like what? Should they like pull up old productions of Jekyll and Hyde by Frank Wildhorn next?

[10:20] Liz Eston: I would love to see an encore episode of Frank Wildhorn's Jekyll and Hyde.

[10:24] Jess: I would too. A lot of schools put it on.

[10:27] Liz Eston: Especially for the scene where Jekyll and Hyde like duet each other, because in the Hazlot version, he flips like he's wearing half a wig or like half a ponytail, and he's flipping back and forth, and it's really stupid.

[10:38] Jess: It's great.

[10:39] Liz Eston: It is cheese.

[10:40] Jess: It is pure cheese. And then the I think the Constance I don't remember his last name.

[10:44] Liz Eston: Um he sings to himself in a mirror, and it's stupid.

[10:49] Jess: Yeah, I saw that production live.

[10:51] Liz Eston: Wow.

[10:52] Jess: Um it's bad. I would love to see like stupid musicals done on Encore and not just like the classics or the Disney ones.

[11:02] Liz Eston: Like pull out something like, oh, that would be a bad one. Um, but if they did thoroughly modern Millie, oh that's just old enough.

[11:12] Jess: Oh god where that could happen.

[11:14] Liz Eston: Hairspray's a big one too. I'm thinking of like all the I did could do the whiz.

[11:20] Jess: I love the whiz. I think that's a great music.

[11:22] Liz Eston: I did Peter Pan in high school, so everyone did Peter Pan.

[11:26] Jess: Like that was like the go-to high school one for like many years.

[11:29] Liz Eston: Oh yeah.

[11:30] Jess: Oh yeah. And we did not change Uga Wug.

[11:32] Liz Eston: It stayed racist.

[11:34] Jess: Oh, gross.

[11:35] Liz Eston: We kept it.

[11:36] Jess: Was it all white people?

[11:37] Liz Eston: Of course it was. We don't have any Native Americans in our school.

[11:42] Jess: Yikes!

[11:42] Liz Eston: Yikes indeed.

[11:43] Jess: Yeah, the Indians were all very white.

[11:45] Liz Eston: Um, my friend was one of them.

[11:47] Jess: Uh I think.

[11:48] Liz Eston: Ooh. How does she feel or they feel about that?

[11:50] Jess: Uh I think she was like, whatever about it, but I one conversation we're having with her when we did La Miz, we're having we're talking about in home room because they cast the chorus people the night before, and I wasn't there.

[12:01] Liz Eston: Right.

[12:01] Jess: So she was like, you know, I'm really sad I didn't get to be a prostitute.

[12:04] Liz Eston: And I turned her, it's like, you know, this conversation out of context is really weird.

[12:10] Jess: Why does she want why did she not want to lead?

[12:13] Liz Eston: No, she was well, she auditioned for Elite, obviously.

[12:15] Jess: She just didn't get it.

[12:18] Liz Eston: She she could have been the Fontaine.

[12:20] Jess: No, there's a senior that played Fonteen. We were freshmen at the time, so leads were kind of out of the question.

[12:26] Liz Eston: So I mean, what if you were like really really good?

[12:29] Jess: Yeah, no, that never happened in our school. Like juniors and seniors.

[12:32] Liz Eston: Maybe like a if we need a young person, a f we'll cast a freshman.

[12:36] Jess: Like we need a child. So like we did when we did Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, one of the children was a high schooler and the other was a child that switched out every other performance.

[12:46] Liz Eston: So she was very she was very short.

[12:50] Jess: So, like, it made sense.

[12:53] Liz Eston: Chichi Bang Bang is just not a good musical in general.

[12:56] Jess: It's not, it's really bad.

[12:58] Liz Eston: Like, could you even try to give me a general consensus of the plot of that musical and movie?

[13:03] Jess: Because the movie makes no damn sense.

[13:05] Liz Eston: No, also the movie implies everything was a dream.

[13:08] Jess: Yeah, and then the car starts flying at the end anyway.

[13:11] Liz Eston: So we need it's like the it's like the ending of Greece where the car starts flying, but it's like real life most of the most of the movie.

[13:20] Jess: Um Hell isn't real and the Hell is the Grease movie.

[13:24] Liz Eston: Yeah, I don't mind the Grease movie.

[13:27] Jess: Of course you don't. You like bad things.

[13:29] Liz Eston: You like most of the Friday the 13th movies, too.

[13:32] Jess: No, I I've only seen like three of them.

[13:35] Liz Eston: Yeah, that's most of them.

[13:36] Jess: No, there's like twelve.

[13:39] Liz Eston: I know.

[13:40] Jess: Which three did you see?

[13:41] Liz Eston: I've seen the first one.

[13:42] Jess: I saw that on my own.

[13:44] Liz Eston: Obviously.

[13:44] Jess: I saw I watched Jason X and Oh, yes, I watched Space Jason.

[13:51] Liz Eston: I watched Jason X, and I've seen the remake, but that's it.

[13:56] Jess: Um, I also only watched Jason X because my boyfriend and I were looking for stupid horror movies to watch when he came over to my house once, and Jason X was on Netflix, and he's like, That movie's hilarious.

[14:05] Liz Eston: I'm like, I love space, I love the idea of space, Jason. Let's go.

[14:08] Jess: So um, the remake has some of the weirdest sex scenes ever put onto film.

[14:14] Liz Eston: Let me just say that.

[14:15] Jess: And I've seen um Munich, which has the strangest sex scene ever put on film.

[14:20] Liz Eston: So that's saying a lot.

[14:22] Jess: Oh god.

[14:23] Liz Eston: Yeah, yeah.

[14:24] Jess: Like he he's like Who in the middle of sex starts talking about you've got perfect nipple placement, baby?

[14:30] Liz Eston: Like what the screenwriter was a horny man who didn't know a horny teens talked.

[14:38] Jess: It's it's garbage. And it has a really stacked cast fire.

[14:41] Liz Eston: It does like Jared Padelecki, um Kate Kay Panabaker.

[14:47] Jess: Yeah, uh, you know, from Sky High, the best superhero.

[14:47] Liz Eston: From Sky High, the best superhero movie of all time.

[14:52] Jess: Uh, and a bunch of others. Bruce Campbell as a gym teacher, 10 out of 10.

[14:56] Liz Eston: I didn't know Bruce Campbell was until I was like much older, and I watched a movie as an adult.

[14:59] Jess: I was like, oh my god, Bruce Campbell's been in this movie this whole time.

[15:04] Liz Eston: Somehow, when I finally discovered that Bruce Campbell was like a person to know, I just know like, oh, he was definitely that gym teacher.

[15:12] Jess: Like, I definitely made that connection.

[15:14] Liz Eston: Like, uh, yeah, yeah, that that's the only man that could have been that role now that I know this.

[15:18] Jess: Yeah.

[15:19] Liz Eston: I I was watching the Star Trek remake with my the reboot with my dad, and I was like, why do I find Captain Kirk really hot when I've never seen him in anything before?

[15:28] Jess: I'm pretty sure.

[15:30] Liz Eston: Proceeds to look it up, see he's the prince in Princess Diaries 2, a royal engagement, my favorite movie at the age of eight, and I'd seen 60 times.

[15:39] Jess: And it was he was my first movie crush.

[15:42] Liz Eston: So it's like, oh, I get it.

[15:46] Jess: At a similar vibe, but with Captain Kirk's dad in the Star Trek remake.

[15:50] Liz Eston: Oh, with oh, it was a Hemsworth.

[15:52] Jess: It was Chris Hemsworth, right?

[15:53] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[15:53] Jess: It was Chris Hemsworth before he was anyone.

[15:56] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[15:56] Jess: Um, and I like really like I like this guy.

[15:58] Liz Eston: And then I saw Thor the next year, and I was like, why do I really like this guy?

[16:02] Jess: Oh he's Kirk's dad.

[16:04] Liz Eston: You had one scene at the beginning of that shitty Star Trek movie.

[16:07] Jess: Yeah, I mean, but we can thank Chris Hemsworth being famous for Cavern in the Woods being released because it was shelled for so long.

[16:14] Liz Eston: That movie's so good, too.

[16:15] Jess: So good. Impeccable.

[16:17] Liz Eston: I love it.

[16:18] Jess: I wish that Josh Whedon wasn't involved, because fuck that guy.

[16:22] Liz Eston: But also.

[16:23] Jess: Just call it a Drew uh not a fuck.

[16:25] Liz Eston: I forgot that isn't it.

[16:27] Jess: Drew Goddard movie.

[16:28] Liz Eston: I call it a Drew Goddard movie.

[16:29] Jess: Yeah, and some it didn't have a screenwriter.

[16:32] Liz Eston: It's just like Bright.

[16:33] Jess: No one wrote the script of that movie.

[16:34] Liz Eston: Well, only one person wrote the script, and it was Drew Goddard.

[16:37] Jess: And there's another person listed that's fake.

[16:40] Liz Eston: Yeah, that's a fake name.

[16:41] Jess: It's a fake name.

[16:42] Liz Eston: It's like Alan Smithy.

[16:43] Jess: Yeah.

[16:44] Liz Eston: Or Anthony Perkins and Steven Sondheim.

[16:46] Jess: They didn't really write that script.

[16:48] Liz Eston: Recipe Sondheim.

[16:51] Jess: And Anthony Perkins.

[16:52] Liz Eston: Why the fuck don't we get to say recipe is Anthony Perkins?

[16:55] Jess: Because he Steve Sondheim died more recently.

[16:57] Liz Eston: So it's fresh on the brain.

[17:00] Jess: Also, I might have watched a movie where recently where he recorded a voicemail, so he's on my brain.

[17:07] Liz Eston: Alright, this is Steven Sondheim. Great job, kid.

[17:10] Jess: Great job, Jonathan Larson.

[17:12] Liz Eston: Like someone that doesn't do a good sound time at all.

[17:15] Jess: Like, hey kid, good job.

[17:17] Liz Eston: I'm Steven Sotheim.

[17:19] Jess: He introduces himself every time he's on screen.

[17:22] Liz Eston: I'm Stephen Sondheim. You did a good job.

[17:25] Jess: Imagine if that was the voice Bradley Whitford did.

[17:29] Liz Eston: So good.

[17:30] Jess: Hey, great lyric and tune.

[17:34] Liz Eston: Stephen Sonnheim was put the cigarette a smoker.

[17:38] Jess: I think he did smoke for a little bit because like in his West Side story photos, there's a lot of f pictures of him just holding a cigarette trying to look cool in front of the the musical theater daddies in the room.

[17:48] Liz Eston: Oh god.

[17:49] Jess: Oh yeah. I had to film I'd rec filmed a movie trailer in college for a pitching class and we had a a grand a mom like an old mom grandma type who smoked a lot, so I had to buy a pack of cigarettes because I was the only one who was 21.

[18:04] Liz Eston: And then we just stuck like eight in the wig, and like he had like two he had like two in his hand because it was a guy dressed as a grandma.

[18:11] Jess: Right. And just putting on a smoker's voice, but it's like, let's just put a ton of cigarettes in this wig just to really get the point across.

[18:20] Liz Eston: Have you ever tried like the fake cigarettes where they fill it with just random shit?

[18:23] Jess: No.

[18:23] Liz Eston: I don't know.

[18:24] Jess: But it's no nicotine.

[18:25] Liz Eston: Um I shot a film where they were there was a girl just huffin' on him, and then someone accidentally put a real cigarette there, and then she's just like wheezing and coughing, like, I can't do this.

[18:38] Jess: The struggles of movie making.

[18:41] Liz Eston: Yeah, it was the funniest thing, because she's like this tiny girl and she's like really doing a good job selling the cigarettes, and then like we just switched her out a new one, she had to pull out a new one and light that one.

[18:51] Jess: And then you just see the tears well in her eyes.

[18:56] Liz Eston: Oh god, oh god.

[18:58] Jess: Uh maybe warn an actor is what I'm saying.

[19:02] Liz Eston: Yeah, I mean we didn't I didn't in high school we didn't warn an actor that medicine was made of soy sauce.

[19:07] Jess: So uh they have an allergic reaction?

[19:10] Liz Eston: No, he just said it was salty and it tasted bad.

[19:13] Jess: I was like, dude, we need thick medicine that's brown.

[19:16] Liz Eston: We have all these soy sauce packets from the how much Chinese we eat.

[19:19] Jess: Just drink the medicine.

[19:21] Liz Eston: He didn't complain or anything.

[19:23] Jess: He's the nicest guy, but he was just like, couldn't you guys have made it like cola or something?

[19:28] Liz Eston: It's like, no.

[19:29] Jess: No, you're not allowed to do that.

[19:31] Liz Eston: You're not allowed to make requests for prop liquids.

[19:35] Jess: No, you get what you get and you like it.

[19:37] Liz Eston: Also, it wasn't my idea.

[19:38] Jess: I was generally shocked they used soy sauce.

[19:40] Liz Eston: I was busy doing something else at the time, presumably, but it was just like you gotta come up with like what you got.

[19:46] Jess: So I mean, what were you doing at the time?

[19:48] Liz Eston: Peter Pan was it.

[19:49] Jess: Oh.

[19:50] Liz Eston: I get there is that medicine scene.

[19:52] Jess: The medicine scene.

[19:53] Liz Eston: Yep.

[19:53] Jess: He's like the n he was the nicest guy in the cast, so it was like, I feel so bad we're making you drink soy sauce, but I also think that's our only option because uh we can't get soda very easily in a high school.

[20:04] Liz Eston: So, you know, unless you want to drink iced tea.

[20:07] Jess: No one wants to drink iced tea.

[20:09] Liz Eston: I'd rather drink soy sauce.

[20:10] Jess: I like iced tea.

[20:11] Liz Eston: I feel attacked.

[20:12] Jess: I'm kidding.

[20:16] Liz Eston: Um, so Encore, who do you think the MVP was in this episode?

[20:20] Jess: Ah, back to Encore. As always, we go off on a tangent about horror movies at some point in these Encore episodes. Um, I would go with the chick who played Annie, um, despite her weird crystal thing. I think she pulled it off. I think she did good, but I also think like the cheaty Mc, you know, whatever.

[20:38] Liz Eston: Cheetah McCee.

[20:39] Jess: He has a really good voice. No, oh wait, his name was Alfie. It was really stupid. But I remember like when they're doing the lineups and Adam Walker's like, let's see you guys sing the song from the 90s, and he was like, I'm like, he's the only one that's really nailing this.

[20:55] Liz Eston: Oh, for those of you who haven't seen Encore, they for their warm-up song, they try to tangentially connect it to something in the thing, and most of them are.

[21:02] Jess: You guys went to school in the 90s. Here's a song from the 90s. If they did that shit to me, like, hey, you graduated in 2014. Here was a song from 2014. Like, like what's song am I gonna sing? What came out in 2014?

[21:18] Liz Eston: I don't know what came out in 2014.

[21:20] Jess: What is the most popular song in 2014 masking series?

[21:25] Liz Eston: Yes.

[21:25] Jess: He's not asking. You guys can comment what you think. If you would. I'm gonna find out, because most popular song 2014.

[21:34] Liz Eston: Because you graduated that year, didn't you?

[21:35] Jess: 2015.

[21:36] Liz Eston: Okay.

[21:37] Jess: So no wrap. All about that bass. I can nail that. No treble.

[21:42] Liz Eston: Yeah, I'm about to say I'd probably do alright. I think it might have it might have for me. It might have been like thinking out loud or something.

[21:49] Jess: That was 2014.

[21:50] Liz Eston: Oh, it was also 2014. I think the f I think the one they would choose for us is Chandelier by Sia.

[21:55] Jess: Yes, because it's because the vocals. I wanna swing from the chandelier.

[22:02] Liz Eston: The one theater kit.

[22:03] Jess: The chandelier. This is just his audition to go get on Encore. Adam Walter.

[22:10] Liz Eston: Adam Walker, choose me to be you run things, don't you? I know for a fact you don't. But yeah, choose me. I mean, if um let's see when 2015, what would your song be?

[22:20] Jess: I don't know. Uh I don't know. I was born on a weird weird day because Pennsylvania cut-offs, so um, see you again by Wiz Khalifa.

[22:29] Liz Eston: I can't feel my face when I'm with you.

[22:32] Jess: One about so when about Dead Paul Walker or the one about cocaine.

[22:36] Liz Eston: Okay.

[22:37] Jess: When I see you is that the Paul Walker.

[22:39] Liz Eston: That's the Paul Walker song.

[22:41] Jess: Good for you by Selena Gomez.

[22:43] Liz Eston: Oh god, I hate that song.

[22:45] Jess: That's when she's not to be confused with Olivia Rodrigo's good for you, or Pasic and Paul's good for you.

[22:50] Liz Eston: Yeah, two of those are good. One of those is bad, and the bad one is Selena Gomez.

[22:55] Jess: Bitch better have my money by Rihanna.

[22:57] Liz Eston: Oh, Adam Walker would totally choose that one.

[23:00] Jess: Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding.

[23:02] Liz Eston: I actually kind of like it.

[23:03] Jess: I like Ellie Goulding's song. I hope she's not problematic.

[23:06] Liz Eston: I don't think she is.

[23:08] Jess: Alright, here's the two actual ones I'd probably choose.

[23:11] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[23:11] Jess: The first one is Sorry by Justin Bieber.

[23:13] Liz Eston: Oh, they totally picked that one.

[23:15] Jess: Or Hello by Adele.

[23:16] Liz Eston: Oh, definitely.

[23:17] Jess: Which I think was like a big meme. Definitely hello. Definitely hello. Just for those belting.

[23:23] Liz Eston: I can't sing, so I'm not going to sing.

[23:26] Jess: Hello from the slide.

[23:29] Liz Eston: That is Jess's Jeff.

[23:31] Jess: And then they bring like the soprano. She's like, hello from the song.

[23:38] Liz Eston: Because she wants to show her reign.

[23:39] Jess: Adam Walker rolls his eyes.

[23:42] Liz Eston: Yeah, like that's not what we're here for. This is a fucking musical theater show.

[23:46] Jess: But also, if my high school ever did this, I would not be invited. So you know what? Liz, I'm gonna make you perform and sing and dance so we can be on Encore in 10 years.

[23:59] Liz Eston: Good luck, dude.

[24:00] Jess: Good luck. What do you think would be your dream role if you could be in a musical show?

[24:06] Liz Eston: Oh no, someone in the background.

[24:09] Jess: No, come on, you have to be a lead.

[24:11] Liz Eston: I don't want to be a lead. I want you to be a lead.

[24:14] Jess: Well, I can't think of anything. Damn. I don't know. What do you think?

[24:20] Liz Eston: I don't know. I think you'd be a good Mary in Merrily We Roll Along.

[24:24] Jess: Is that a good or bad thing?

[24:26] Liz Eston: That's a good thing made and it's gonna take 20 years.

[24:32] Jess: So it's Richard Linklater. This is a new thing, making movies in 20 years instead of like less than one.

[24:39] Liz Eston: I will say if there's any film musical that deserves it, it's Merrily. Because at least it'll kind of feel like a magic trick at that point, unlike Boyhood.

[24:47] Jess: Yeah, but also Blake Jenner is in the movie.

[24:51] Liz Eston: Is he a rapist?

[24:53] Jess: He is he a le he most likely abused Melissa Benoist because she came for the Instagram video about the cell phone throwing incident where she hurt her eye, and based on timeline, she was married to Blake Jenner at the time.

[25:08] Liz Eston: Fucking gross.

[25:09] Jess: So um, it'll be another Ansel Elgort promoting West Side Story situation, except for there'll be a big It'll be 20 years. It'll accept it'll be like a 20-year gap, and Twitter will bring it up again.

[25:19] Liz Eston: So I think Twitter's gonna be around 20 years.

[25:21] Jess: I hope that's the saddest thought I've heard all day. I really hope it won't be around in 20 years. I hope it'll just eradicate itself and explode.

[25:28] Liz Eston: No, we'll just be so deep in irony that it'll literally just be called Bird App.

[25:32] Jess: I don't yeah, it'll just call the Bird App and I'll just be full of like screenshots of like random stuff.

[25:40] Liz Eston: But the only good thing about Merrily that makes it work better than Boyhood for this toys, is it's told in reverse.

[25:45] Jess: So we'd start seeing them the way we know them now, and then by the end we'd see them as the younger versions, so it'll kind you'll leave seeing the magic.

[25:53] Liz Eston: So we'll start with you start with old Beanie Feldstein, and then you go go to younger Beanie Feldstein.

[25:59] Jess: Got it. I think I think that Ben Platt's gonna age the worst out of the three.

[26:04] Liz Eston: I mean, we saw how they try to de-age him in post and Evan Hansen, so yeah.

[26:10] Jess: I think he's gonna look the worst. I think Beanie Feldstein, going by how her brother is aging, she's gonna look basically the same.

[26:16] Liz Eston: Yeah, basically.

[26:17] Jess: I don't know who.

[26:18] Liz Eston: Yeah, oh, the other one's Blake Jenner, and I don't care how he looks.

[26:21] Jess: So I don't give a shit.

[26:22] Liz Eston: He I in all fairness, that movie's not about him.

[26:26] Jess: No, no, he's a side character. Thank God.

[26:28] Liz Eston: No, he's the lead, but he's not what you come in for.

[26:32] Jess: Well, okay. Okay. So you you that there's a lot of musicals like that. So yeah, that makes sense to me.

[26:38] Liz Eston: Alright.

[26:39] Jess: So that's this time covering Encore on musicals with Patreon or Patreon.

[26:46] Liz Eston: You remember the title?

[26:47] Jess: We haven't done this in a while, guys. Sorry.

[26:50] Liz Eston: Yeah, I mean, it feels like it's just been week after week, but it's been a minute for us.

[26:54] Jess: It's been a hot minute. I've been working, I'm working on a thing you'll be seeing at the end of the month, hopefully.

[26:58] Liz Eston: So hopefully.

[27:00] Jess: Hopefully. Um, on the day you're listening to it, we might be having our first friends and family screening.

[27:05] Liz Eston: Oh god.

[27:07] Jess: The friends and family.

[27:09] Liz Eston: Oh, Uncle. You know, our friends sideways and Brent and our family, Emily Clark and Christy Estherly.

[27:15] Jess: I mean, my uncle knows you mean my Uncle Brent.

[27:17] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[27:19] Jess: Good ol' Uncle Brent and Uncle Sideways.

[27:21] Liz Eston: I love Uncle Sideways.

[27:26] Jess: Um, anyone else?

[27:27] Liz Eston: An Aunt Grace Aki.

[27:29] Jess: My aunt who's my aunt who I'm both inspired by and intimidated by simultaneously.

[27:36] Liz Eston: I love Grace.

[27:37] Jess: I love her very much. I have never been intimidated by her.

[27:40] Liz Eston: Um, I know a lot of people that have.

[27:43] Jess: Um, I don't know. She's just so funny.

[27:47] Liz Eston: I don't know.

[27:47] Jess: She's to me, she's just a very powerful woman. And I'm just like, oh my god.

[27:51] Liz Eston: Oh, very good.

[27:51] Jess: I want to be that powerful. Um, she's gonna tear down an entire man's career, and I'm here for it.

[27:57] Liz Eston: Hell yeah, no, I love Grace. I love Grace so much.

[27:59] Jess: She's amazing. I like all her tweets, basically, at this point.

[28:02] Liz Eston: It's a thing I do every day. I'm just like scroll out to Twitter. Every Grasaki tweet, go.

[28:08] Jess: The best Twitter.

[28:09] Liz Eston: The best.

[28:10] Jess: She's a great one. It's really weird. Cause I was on her um Christmas tree bullshit, but she was not on mine.

[28:17] Liz Eston: I don't know how those things work, but she definitely should be on mine.

[28:20] Jess: I think it's replies because I did mine and I only had one level because I don't reply a lot.

[28:25] Liz Eston: So that's fair.

[28:27] Jess: And you were on it, obviously, but I always reply.

[28:31] Liz Eston: Yeah, you uh all my tweets.

[28:33] Jess: Liz is my Twitter hype man.

[28:35] Liz Eston: I respect you.

[28:36] Jess: I'm your hype man in all things, not just Twitter.

[28:38] Liz Eston: This is also my Twitter hype man because he retweets my stuff, and then more of you see it.

[28:44] Jess: I mean, that's kind of a blanket thing. Anytime or Brie tweets, I will retweet both on my account and the musical cheese account just because we help our own.

[28:53] Liz Eston: Yes, help your own.

[28:54] Jess: Always do that. It's just a good life tip. Help your own.

[28:57] Liz Eston: And we'll wait, cheese rating. What's your cheese rating?

[29:00] Jess: Ah. This is good. Um I'm trying to I was trying to think of something trashy, because this is Florida. Not to say this production was trashy, but it was very Florida. So I'm gonna go with like very like cheap cheddar.

[29:14] Liz Eston: You get it like giant.

[29:17] Jess: Like it's trashy, but it gets the job done. Or Publix, isn't that a Florida thing?

[29:22] Liz Eston: Publix, yeah.

[29:23] Jess: A Publix cheddar. Pretty it was good though. They did a good job.

[29:27] Liz Eston: Yeah.

[29:27] Jess: And I just don't like Any Gate Your Gun. Bad musical. Adam Walker's back, so that bad.

[29:33] Liz Eston: But Adam Walker is back, and that's delightful.

[29:35] Jess: Adam Walker is not a discount cheddar. He's a goal, he's a high-end cheddar.

[29:41] Liz Eston: Yes.

[29:42] Jess: Um, I will be giving this some cheese from the Gemini Moon.

[29:50] Liz Eston: Yes, the Gemini Moon is off.

[29:52] Jess: I can't work like this.
