Speaker 1: And I'm recording yay, I have a little post nasal
Speaker 1: drip audience, so I apologize. Oh no, I've had it
Speaker 1: for a few days. It sounds a little like this MHM.
Speaker 1: And I just wanted to be honest with the audience
Speaker 1: that they might hear a bit of that.
Speaker 2: What's going on with you, bro?
Speaker 1: I don't want Daniel to cut it out because I
Speaker 1: want them to know that it's happening.
Speaker 2: Was you out and about? Were you around the people's.
Speaker 1: I know I've been at the beach mostly in nature,
Speaker 1: but I just I just got this, you know. I'm
Speaker 1: just so happy it wasn't COVID because I'm still in
Speaker 1: the phase where I'm so I'm still instantly think I
Speaker 1: have COVID and I took a test. I don't have it.
Speaker 1: I just have a I have a little bit of
Speaker 1: a sore throat and I have this. Could it be
Speaker 1: from the water, No, it's just Loogie's man. It's just
Speaker 1: a natural human culture.
Speaker 2: The beach really considered nature.
Speaker 3: Though, absolutely, when is the Why is the beach not nature?
Speaker 1: You're not a I think it.
Speaker 2: Would have to be forest to be nature.
Speaker 1: You're not a big beach fan yourself.
Speaker 2: I know that the beach.
Speaker 1: You don't like sand. You don't like sand?
Speaker 2: Sand?
Speaker 3: Is it because it's coarse and it gets everywhere you
Speaker 3: like to fish?
Speaker 2: Well, that's one thing. It is course, and it gets everywhere.
Speaker 1: You don't like to lie out, I don't.
Speaker 2: It's not that. It's not just the sand, it's the water.
Speaker 4: Also, I hate I like beaches where I can see
Speaker 4: in the water. I don't like beaches where and I
Speaker 4: grew up on the East Coast and the water's cold
Speaker 4: and you can't see into that motherfucker. And that Jaws
Speaker 4: movie when I was a kid did a number on me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, my babysitter.
Speaker 4: My dad gave the babysitter money and said take them
Speaker 4: to the movies. Yeah, and she took me to see Jaws.
Speaker 4: And that is really And there are still shark attacks.
Speaker 4: They still make movies that are real about shark attacks,
Speaker 4: and you know, like people getting there, you know, getting
Speaker 4: bit and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: So is that your Is that your reason for for
Speaker 1: not liking the beach is that you're worried you're gonna
Speaker 1: get eaten by a shark. Not eating but bit, yeah, sure,
Speaker 1: eating bit, same thing. I don't think you're gonna get
Speaker 1: that scares me.
Speaker 4: Also, like the water is real weird and nasty now todays.
Speaker 4: And you know, I heard about this thing that swims
Speaker 4: into water and travels up the urethra. That's got to
Speaker 4: be in a certain body of water at a certain point
Speaker 4: on the planet.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's happening.
Speaker 4: Point isn't all the water. Isn't all the water starting
Speaker 4: to shift? And you know that shit freaks me out.
Speaker 1: Now, I don't really know what you're talking about.
Speaker 4: You don't know about the parasite that goes through your
Speaker 4: urethra and kills you.
Speaker 1: No, I haven't heard about it. It's a little too much
Speaker 1: TikTok oh. Oh, it's on a TikTok thing. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't have I know about this ship because I
Speaker 2: know about this ship.
Speaker 1: No, you probably know about it from Instagram reels.
Speaker 2: Then, no, I don't know about it from Instagram reels.
Speaker 4: I've known about this ship for a real, real long time,
Speaker 4: and all of a sudden test my knowledge.
Speaker 1: On the other side of things, I would like to
Speaker 1: say that I've been really I've been loving the ocean
Speaker 1: this summer. I've always had a different fear.
Speaker 2: Of the attack well.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put You know what I'm gonna do is
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put like a little I'm gonna put a
Speaker 1: band aid over my tip. Do you think that'll prevent
Speaker 1: him from going in?
Speaker 2: You gotta make it to it perfect.
Speaker 1: There's so many around. He's gonna be like that one's blocked.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna try this one next door. That's what you
Speaker 1: should do, is just tape your ship closed. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: I need some horror movies.
Speaker 1: I need, I need. I need tape that will withstand
Speaker 1: the ocean. Maybe some duct tape.
Speaker 2: But that.
Speaker 4: But that's the crazy port that always got to me
Speaker 4: was Hakama just goes through the urethra Hakim.
Speaker 2: It doesn't go through like the ears. There's so many.
Speaker 1: Other everyone everyone has. Listen, if you ever watch these
Speaker 1: shows where people are house hunting, everyone has a different
Speaker 1: vibe that they like. And this creature likes the vibe
Speaker 1: the bigger. That's good, right to each their own. I
Speaker 1: might like modern farmhouse. That thing likes ureath throw.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: Anyway, my thing wasn't sharks as it was waves. I
Speaker 1: had an incident when I was a kid, and I'm
Speaker 1: almost drowned, and I, at least in my mind, maybe
Speaker 1: I don't know if I really would have drowned. So
Speaker 1: my whole life, I've had a fear of waves, and
Speaker 1: this summer I've really taken it on in smaller waves.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm out in Malibu. I found a beach
Speaker 1: where the waves aren't huge. I'm trying things like taking
Speaker 1: some surf lessons. I've been. Yeah, it's really been. Truly.
Speaker 1: It's gonna sound stupid to a lot of people, but
Speaker 1: I have been tackling a fear in waves because ever
Speaker 1: since childhood I had I got rocked once and then
Speaker 1: I came up and I got rocked again, and there
Speaker 1: was ripped hide and I just remember thinking, like I
Speaker 1: remember looking at the lifeguard and he was like hundred
Speaker 1: yards away. I mean, the fact that there even was
Speaker 1: one was amazing, right, But I had that thought that
Speaker 1: I'm sure other people listening have had, were like, holy shit,
Speaker 1: is this it? Like I got a fight and I
Speaker 1: fought and I got out, but it scarred me definitely.
Speaker 1: And I've been trying that this this many years later,
Speaker 1: to tiptoe back.
Speaker 2: And get out. Did you swim on your back?
Speaker 1: How did I think I just struggled and foughted and
Speaker 1: and uh and there was a break in the set
Speaker 1: of waves because they just kept every time I'd come
Speaker 1: back up, they they were rocking down back on me.
Speaker 1: And I think I got I got that set of
Speaker 1: waves finished and I was able to catch my breath.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, that's real, man. I mean, you know, good
Speaker 3: for you for getting back out there.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. Yeah. And it's and also surfing, I've I've
Speaker 1: always you know, when I think of surfing, my brother
Speaker 1: surfed it my whole life, and lots of people that
Speaker 1: love it and swear by. I always think of these
Speaker 1: big waves that we see on TV. Not not the extreme,
Speaker 1: not the extreme one hundred for waves like in the show,
Speaker 1: but like you know, big waves that we see pros surfing.
Speaker 2: Like can point break you think Point Break.
Speaker 1: Or just anything you've seen photographed, you know, a six
Speaker 1: foot ten foot tall wave whatever. It never occurred to
Speaker 1: me that, Oh there's just like skiing, there's also a
Speaker 1: bunny slope, like you can go on a tiny wave
Speaker 1: with a pro And so that's what I've been doing
Speaker 1: out in out of Malibu is like you know, you're
Speaker 1: on like a two three foot wave and the teachers
Speaker 1: because you know, launching you into it, you know, pushing
Speaker 1: you because part of the hard part is catching it.
Speaker 1: And then he goes like, he goes okay, he goes
Speaker 1: like up, and then that's for your cue to jump up.
Speaker 1: And then when you catch it and you get the
Speaker 1: balance and you ride it in, even if it's small,
Speaker 1: it's fun as hell. So I'm really I'm really stoked
Speaker 1: because it's been a it's definitely been a fear of
Speaker 1: mine for most of my life, and this summer I've
Speaker 1: been taking it on. Good for you, Zach, that's really awesome.
Speaker 2: Good for you, which is soundtrack right now? What do
Speaker 2: you mean a Malibu?
Speaker 1: I've been listening to a lot of you know, I
Speaker 1: like this new Boy Genius Phoebe Bridger's band gens Rips. Yeah.

Speaker 1: merch good? It's very good.

Speaker 4: put out a onesie or you should like out there
Speaker 4: out there right now for real, Like that's a real
Speaker 4: good question. The onesie was a hit and there are
Speaker 4: very few people that have that onesie out there.

Speaker 2: They'd be like, say no more.
Speaker 5: I will for a solid graphic designer because that sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and also someone who loves the show, because it
Speaker 1: would be fun to be, like, it would be fun

Speaker 1: person pitch things based on the show. You know what
Speaker 1: I mean? You know what I'm saying. You know I mean,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. My house got flooded with poop?
Speaker 1: Is that instag Yeah, that's the pipe that claused all
Speaker 1: my troubles. Oh exactly, any of you who follow me
Speaker 1: on Instagram, I I I took pictures of the very
Speaker 1: pipe that ruined my my precious living space.
Speaker 5: That sounds horrendous. How long is that?
Speaker 1: Like it's two day too? Well, this is a debacle.
Speaker 1: Oh no, my neighbor's poop came over to visit. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what happened. Let me tell you happywhere.
Speaker 1: You know when you know when your neighbor knocks on
Speaker 1: your door, it's like, hey, do you ever want to
Speaker 1: get a drink and hang out?
Speaker 3: That's what That's what my neighbors poop did.
Speaker 1: It didn't knock anyway. So, to make a very long
Speaker 1: story short, I had to rip out all my floors
Speaker 1: of the lower the lower floor of my house. And
Speaker 1: because it's pooh in.
Speaker 2: It, Oh man, I'm so sorry.
Speaker 1: It never to be. I know it sounds unrealistic, but
Speaker 1: it never smelt like poop. It smelled like a musty basement.
Speaker 1: But it was definitively poop water. Like there weren't there
Speaker 1: weren't like logs rolling around, but there were. It was
Speaker 1: poop water. Yeah I knew. I mean it was the
Speaker 1: seward line silver silver linings. I guess what's the silver lane.
Speaker 3: And it didn't smell completely like ship.
Speaker 1: There was toilet paper.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it's gross because I had these I
Speaker 3: had these really nice I had these really nice wood floors, right,
Speaker 3: and you know how like when you get nice wood floors,
Speaker 3: there's all like it's not just flat like fake. It's
Speaker 3: like all the nooks and crannies of the real oak Well,
Speaker 3: in all those nooks and cranny was was was TP.
Speaker 4: Jesus, No, No, this is one of those things that
Speaker 4: like tries here, I'm gonna die.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna lose it. I don't wish this on anyone.
Speaker 1: It's horrible. All I can say is that make sure
Speaker 1: your house has something. If you're a homeowner, Oh god,
Speaker 1: I'm getting chills. Let me give the audience some free
Speaker 1: advice because I'm I'm I'm gonna give you all some advice.
Speaker 1: I never knew that you needed to have. But if
Speaker 1: you're a homeowner, make sure that your sewer line has
Speaker 1: what's called a check valve on it. The check valve
Speaker 1: allows for poop to leave the home, but not to
Speaker 1: come back in. You know when the bouncers throw a
Speaker 1: drunk eye out of a bar. Yes, that's what a
Speaker 1: check valve is. They are the check valve.
Speaker 3: It lets the drunk guy and the poop out. But
Speaker 3: when he tries to come back in. No, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 3: it goes, it goes. No no no, don't try me.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember you, I remember you, motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Yeah, walk away, walk away, poop away.

Speaker 1: all these rules about using this cold plunge, and they're
Speaker 1: they're extensive, and one of them is that if you

Speaker 1: cold plunge. You got to come say hi right now.

Speaker 5: This is me enjoying California. We have to go out
Speaker 5: and play golf.
Speaker 4: By the way, speaking I've been played in like over
Speaker 4: a year.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: I've been trying to set up a mandate between you
Speaker 1: two because you both have a love of two things
Speaker 1: that pair very nicely.
Speaker 2: Together, marijuana and golf.
Speaker 1: Yes, And I don't know why I can't get you
Speaker 1: guys to go on a mandate.
Speaker 2: I just haven't played golf. And listen, he can play, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's really good. What's your hand He plays with
Speaker 1: Troy Mullins.
Speaker 2: She's a freaking long drive champion.
Speaker 1: Dude, what's your handicap? I'm not going to know what
Speaker 1: this means.
Speaker 5: Six?
Speaker 1: Right, he's a six Is that good?
Speaker 5: It's okay.
Speaker 2: I've been bettery decent, I've been scratched, but he's a
Speaker 2: six on. He's a six on like real golf courses.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a six on like Encino, Balboa, Griffith.
Speaker 2: I'm a sixth. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4: I once shot a seventy eight, seventy eight at freaking Calabassas,
Speaker 4: and it was the best day of my life. I
Speaker 4: still haven't scorecard in my fucking back pocket, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean. There was a point where I was
Speaker 4: playing so much that if I didn't shoot in the seventies.
Speaker 4: I was pissed off unless I went to unless I
Speaker 4: went to like some extremely hard course. When I hit
Speaker 4: When I shot a seventy nine at Run you Sorry
Speaker 4: at Rustic Canyon, That's when I was like, yo, I
Speaker 4: am playing way too much fucking golf and you're.
Speaker 5: Obsessed at that point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but he lost it. He's not interested anymore. He's
Speaker 1: got other interests.
Speaker 2: I'm not interested now. I don't.
Speaker 4: I want to play and not have expectations, you know
Speaker 4: what I mean, that's the best way to play way better.
Speaker 1: I can't convince you to go on a mandate with Preston.
Speaker 2: No, I totally want to go while he's in California.
Speaker 2: We're going to do that. Man.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something else, Dane. And you know
Speaker 1: this because you set it up. Another rule a Johnny's
Speaker 1: house is when you're done plunging and sonning, you must
Speaker 1: come and find him in the golf shed to say
Speaker 1: goodbye and give you and give your respects. Now, this
Speaker 1: gentleman is playing three hours a day minimum on his
Speaker 1: simulator that Dan will help set up in that golf shed.
Speaker 1: Sounds about right, And he told me that it is
Speaker 1: definitely improving his actual, real life game.
Speaker 2: Yes, love that and love to keep the one hundred
Speaker 2: with you.
Speaker 4: If you're hitting the ball three hours a day, every
Speaker 4: day and you're not getting better, there's something wrong with you.
Speaker 7: Not that.
Speaker 1: I just didn't know if it translated to the actual course,
Speaker 1: and he said absolutely.
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, man, you hit Listen, your swing is your swing,
Speaker 4: and once you can tell what your swing is doing,
Speaker 4: you're able.
Speaker 2: To play anywhere.
Speaker 4: Like a lot of people get hung up on I
Speaker 4: want my shit to go left or I want my
Speaker 4: shit to go right.
Speaker 2: If you can navigate a.
Speaker 4: Course with what your ball does when you swing, you're
Speaker 4: ahead of the game.
Speaker 2: Man, You're you're competing.
Speaker 4: It's it's the biggest freaking mind fucked and nobody can
Speaker 4: understand it unless they play.
Speaker 5: You know what cliche? I have a kid, You have kids.
Speaker 5: I don't. I'm not able to play like I used to.
Speaker 1: Why can't you bring the kid in a in a in.
Speaker 5: A She'll get hit by a fucking golf ball.
Speaker 1: Really I will.
Speaker 5: I'll never be able to live with myself.
Speaker 1: Why can't you know what?
Speaker 5: Someone should build a little bull.
Speaker 1: Someone should invent a stroller that has like a cage
Speaker 1: on it so you know what I'm saying. Someone should
Speaker 1: invent a golf stroller. And if the ball it's got
Speaker 1: like you know, the cage that's on the thing that
Speaker 1: picks up the balls at the driving it should God
Speaker 1: the best.
Speaker 4: Day ever for every dad, every dad, that'd be the
Speaker 4: best day ever.
Speaker 3: This is my this is your real reason for not
Speaker 3: bringing your baby.
Speaker 1: That you're word you're gonna get hit.
Speaker 5: Oh, not necessarily spoopy dive.
Speaker 4: There's all kinds of that's a distraction. You can't be distracted.
Speaker 4: You have to be one hundred dialed in.
Speaker 5: I mean, how many times are we hearing for when
Speaker 5: you play around the golf?
Speaker 2: I hear it at least once once or twice.
Speaker 1: Now for when you yell if your if your ball
Speaker 1: is just going crazy. Yeah, I'd be yelling for all
Speaker 1: the time. Does it hurt if you get hit in
Speaker 1: the head of the.
Speaker 5: Up the hill?
Speaker 2: You got able to go all yet?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Me too. I got hitting the rib cage.
Speaker 5: It was off a skip. It hit the ground and
Speaker 5: then jumped up and it's like forest.
Speaker 2: This shitting curved right into me left too.
Speaker 4: Just motherfucker hit that ship off the tee and it
Speaker 4: curved right like hooked right into me.
Speaker 1: Man, did you run now, man?
Speaker 4: Because I was this was my first time shooting in
Speaker 4: the seventies, dude, in front.
Speaker 2: Of my brother.
Speaker 5: You were folks.
Speaker 2: My brother and my brother checked us out.
Speaker 4: Me and my brother were playing around and for the
Speaker 4: first time ever in front of him, I'm about to
Speaker 4: shoot like a seventy five or seventy four, which is
Speaker 4: fucking big, big time, right, And we're sitting in the
Speaker 4: golf cart and it's the last shot to the green.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty close.
Speaker 4: I'm like, you know, maybe one hundred and twenty yards out,
Speaker 4: so it's a I'm a gap wedge out right, and
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm about to fucking destroy it.
Speaker 1: That's my nickname, and you edge.
Speaker 2: I'm about to fucking destroy this shit, right, And.
Speaker 4: I hear as I'm getting out the cart, So I
Speaker 4: jumped back into the cart. My brother looks up and goes,
Speaker 4: oh shit and grabs me like in an embrace to
Speaker 4: block me, to help me, and that shit fucking millennium
Speaker 4: falcons through a tree, through trees and everything and catches
Speaker 4: me right in the rib cage bomb.
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, I scream like you know, I screamed.
Speaker 4: It's real loud, right, and I'm like, oh shit, I
Speaker 4: lift up my shirt and it's like a paintball. Well,
Speaker 4: you know, you have to get shot with a paintball,
Speaker 4: and that shit fucking you had purple and fucking all
Speaker 4: that shit.
Speaker 2: And I look at the guy on.
Speaker 4: The te He's like, oh my god, are you fucking
Speaker 4: all right?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I'm good, I'm good. I'm about to
Speaker 2: shoot this seventy five.
Speaker 4: Rusted them up, and I fucking cracked the ball onto
Speaker 4: the green and I shoot a seventy four because I
Speaker 4: got the birdie at the end.
Speaker 6: What I'm talking about, I'm talking about.
Speaker 2: Let's take a break.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back after these fine words. All right, Well, Preston,
Speaker 1: we wanted to have you on because you are starring
Speaker 1: as Javert and Layman's Rob and it is so good.
Speaker 1: They're in La now, but if you're head where Vegas.
Speaker 8: Vegas next, then we're back in the area in Costa Mesa.
Speaker 5: So if you miss us here, take a longer drive.
Speaker 1: I thought we could have.
Speaker 2: You a little about where are you at in Vegas?
Speaker 1: The I don't know, but not at the casino street.
Speaker 5: They go to a real like a big Theater on
Speaker 5: Fulton Street.
Speaker 2: Oh that's Oh you're in downtown Banks, Old School Vegas.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is it. Reynolds Hall, Reynolds Hall at the
Speaker 1: Smith Center.
Speaker 5: Yes, the Smith Center. That's it. Thank you.
Speaker 1: There you go see it. I went to see it,
Speaker 1: My mom went to see it. Bill went to see it.
Speaker 1: We just had the most amazing time. You're so incredible,
Speaker 1: And I thought we could talk a little bit because
Speaker 1: we like to have people on that do things and
Speaker 1: explain things that you know, most of our audience obviously
Speaker 1: isn't an entertained we could thought we could talk about
Speaker 1: what it's like to be on a tour of a show, like,
Speaker 1: tell us a little about just start with For those
Speaker 1: who don't know, I'll state the obvious. It's a Broadway
Speaker 1: show that goes on the road and goes to cities
Speaker 1: all around the country or the world. But Preston is
Speaker 1: currently on the North American tour. So tell us about
Speaker 1: like what it's like you you tell us about the
Speaker 1: tour itself.
Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, it's there are obviously different markets in
Speaker 8: different cities that we play, so we have you know,
Speaker 8: I mean, the show is booked for three years right
Speaker 8: now and We obviously play different cities, larger markets all
Speaker 8: over the country, and oftentimes we sit down for a
Speaker 8: long time.
Speaker 5: Sometimes we sit down for a week. Luckily we're in
Speaker 5: LA for six weeks.
Speaker 3: And what determines that the size of the city, how
Speaker 3: much the tickets typically sell for a show.
Speaker 8: Yeah, exactly, yeah, they I mean, all of the way
Speaker 8: they run the market. It's it's incredible the way they
Speaker 8: can predict all of us and having all these hit
Speaker 8: shoes has come through and they can say lems will
Speaker 8: sell seventy eight percent. Here, if we do a week,
Speaker 8: we do two weeks, it'll sell sixty two. So so
Speaker 8: we you know, it's it's it's great because we get
Speaker 8: to see all kinds of different cities and different you know, markets,
Speaker 8: and blue collar people, white collar people come into the show.
Speaker 8: And still it's such a poignant story that I think,
Speaker 8: you know right now, it's it's.
Speaker 1: What if I don't have a collar? Am I allowed.
Speaker 2: A welcome?
Speaker 5: Wait?
Speaker 1: Now talk about it. Just get down the nuts and bolts.
Speaker 1: How many there's a big show, it's a big cast,
Speaker 1: is a big orchestra? How does this thing move? How
Speaker 1: long does it take to set up in the theater?
Speaker 1: Talk us through the logistics of the actual tour.
Speaker 8: So there are about ninety two company members and that's orchestra, crew,
Speaker 8: cast and management. And then we packed the show up
Speaker 8: into thirteen semi trucks, so it takes about a day
Speaker 8: and a half for the show to come down. On
Speaker 8: a Sunday night, they packed the show up overnight, drive
Speaker 8: it to the next city, and our crew is up
Speaker 8: all night long and they get us ready for a
Speaker 8: sound check on a Tuesday in a new city and
Speaker 8: often incredible.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's amazing, I mean they they.
Speaker 1: So you could go slow. So you do a Sunday matinee, yeah,
Speaker 1: and an evening often and an evening Sunday, and the
Speaker 1: crew does a night shift where they take it all
Speaker 1: apart and pack it into the trucks. How long does
Speaker 1: that take?
Speaker 8: About fourteen to sixteen hours, depending on the space, because
Speaker 8: every theater is different, some are small, some are big.
Speaker 8: We have room to you know, negotiate things differently.
Speaker 1: Then they travel, assuming assuming Monday night, and then they
Speaker 1: spend all day Tuesday setting it up and you're ready
Speaker 1: to do a sound check Tuesday, and then you do
Speaker 1: a Tuesday show that is unfunny that's crazy.
Speaker 5: It's amazing.
Speaker 1: It's amazing.
Speaker 4: Hold on, the theaters are are different and stuff like that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: there's not one theater is the same. How does that
Speaker 4: work out? Yeah, I mean I know that, I know that.
Speaker 4: It's still well, you're on a stage. You're never in
Speaker 4: the round, right, but right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 5: Yeah, every space.
Speaker 8: So our our proscenium is the exact same every theater
Speaker 8: we go to, But it's the backstage that has to
Speaker 8: be so incredibly choreographed to so people literally don't get
Speaker 8: hurt and and we're able to make the show run
Speaker 8: as seems seamlessly as it does because it's i mean,
Speaker 8: the design is incredible and the way things just seamlessly
Speaker 8: move on and off stage is incredible. So, like the
Speaker 8: Kennedy Center we played in DC is a huge, huge
Speaker 8: space backstage, so it's it's for our crew, it's a
Speaker 8: dream because they don't have to finagle and negotiate all
Speaker 8: that stuff. But like we played the Fifth Avenue in Seattle,
Speaker 8: which is like a Broadway house. Most Broadway theaters are
Speaker 8: incredibly small and type backstage, and you know, things are
Speaker 8: flown above you, so you're making an entrance on stage
Speaker 8: and you have a like a one ton set piece hanging.
Speaker 5: Over your head.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, like a lift.
Speaker 1: I remember doing Bullets of Our Broadway and they had
Speaker 1: this lift, uh not like like like a mini forklift
Speaker 1: that they with a bucket they would use to change
Speaker 1: the lights. But yeah, and they So what happened is
Speaker 1: there's no room in the wings backstage, so they would
Speaker 1: put chain hooks to these things and then what they
Speaker 1: call fly, which is moving it up to the sky.
Speaker 1: And you, if you're backstage, you're just doing your thing,
Speaker 1: you look up and just above your head is something
Speaker 1: that would crush you and kill you in a millisecond.
Speaker 1: And I went backstages Unti lay Minuz after to see
Speaker 1: Preston and all of these beautiful set pieces that are
Speaker 1: huge and heavy and a bit in the show are
Speaker 1: just dangling above your head in the wings because there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to put them. So they the crew moves them
Speaker 1: off and then and then pulls them up to the
Speaker 1: above your head.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's crazy, it's all that'd be so distracting, Yeah,
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, that's the thing about doing what we do,
Speaker 8: you know, there's so many factors, you know, it's it's Uh,
Speaker 8: the orchestra.
Speaker 5: The sound is different every night.
Speaker 8: If there are less bodies in the building, you know,
Speaker 8: there is less reverbs.
Speaker 5: So you know, it's just every factor plays in.
Speaker 1: Now, explain the orchestra piece, because you told me that
Speaker 1: for the most part, the orchestra travels with you. But
Speaker 1: certain cities have unique union rules where their union players
Speaker 1: have to play the show. So all of a sudden, LA,
Speaker 1: for example, they have a whole new orchestra because the
Speaker 1: LA Union orchestra said, we're playing the show, not others.
Speaker 8: So you're talking about Rule twenty four, which the Musicians Union,
Speaker 8: which you know encompasses all of Broadway and all of
Speaker 8: the touring musicians. There are certain cities that have a
Speaker 8: higher market of musicians, like there are so many players
Speaker 8: in LA, so there's a rule that protects a place
Speaker 8: where there's you know, a higher concentration of musicians, and
Speaker 8: they they then become our local orchestra.
Speaker 1: So wait, what's crazy is what's crazy to me is
Speaker 1: that you well you you told me that you are
Speaker 1: playing with your regular touring orchestra. Then then someone is
Speaker 1: rehearsing the LA orchestra because they have the special union rule.
Speaker 1: And then you do show up and that show. It's
Speaker 1: like bang new orchestra. You don't even know their names.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, it's amazing and and like the old orchestra
Speaker 8: like you in Portland there, Yeah they do. Literally, we'll
Speaker 8: be in Portland in a you know a couple of months.
Speaker 8: But yeah, it's it's uh, you know, they they're they
Speaker 8: do what do those guys do? They're on hikes and
Speaker 8: they're you.
Speaker 1: Know, they're wait, they're in town, but they can't work.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 8: Some some of them came to town just because they're like,
Speaker 8: you're in l A, I'll hang out in LA.
Speaker 5: I've got nothing to do.
Speaker 8: A lot of them, you know, people give up their
Speaker 8: homes too when they go on tour. So a lot
Speaker 8: of people that are on the road or you know,
Speaker 8: they're like, this is what I've got. I don't know
Speaker 8: where I'm going next, you know, with just the way
Speaker 8: things are now.
Speaker 5: Too, especially with the strike.
Speaker 8: You know, there's some people in the cast that do
Speaker 8: more film and TV usually that are you know, based
Speaker 8: in Chicago or here, that are like, I think I
Speaker 8: might move to you know, New York. Everyone's agent is
Speaker 8: like getting bombarded with people wanting to do theater, right now,
Speaker 8: which is I.
Speaker 1: Would like to play? Give all right, when we come back,
Speaker 1: say a quick break, We're gonna ask Preston about doing
Speaker 1: the actual show. He does eight shows a week and
Speaker 1: sings a very very hard part, so we want to
Speaker 1: know all about his process. As the Thespians say, we'll
Speaker 1: be right back after these fine words.
Speaker 6: Whang who tang forever?
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to the show. Preston Boyd, you
Speaker 1: handsome devil. So many things.
Speaker 3: He's tall. This guy can do so many things. He's
Speaker 3: good at golf, grated archery.
Speaker 1: I put in a we had an archery Yeah, we
Speaker 1: had an archery target and at in my backyard and Preston, I.
Speaker 2: Wanted to play Robin Hood. I would.
Speaker 1: This dude was so good. He was like trying to
Speaker 1: make it harder for himself. He's like hiding behind ship.
Speaker 4: When I was a kid, I went to camp. That
Speaker 4: would have been so much fun. We could have played
Speaker 4: fucking that ship. I went to camp, right, and archery
Speaker 4: was my ship.
Speaker 5: Did you do the apple thing with me?
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do the thing.
Speaker 5: I don't do the apple thing.
Speaker 4: Do you have a composite boat or do you have
Speaker 4: like one of the bullshit bows kind of.
Speaker 1: Have a we have a very basic bow, but Preston
Speaker 1: doesn't care. He like he does some fucking robinhood ship.
Speaker 1: He was getting so bored with hitting bullseyes that he
Speaker 1: was like, let me try if I jump off here
Speaker 1: and shoot running love it. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: He was like up on the deck, standing on the deck,
Speaker 3: like firing at it, like lego chat.
Speaker 4: He's like, hey, do me a favor, A favor I
Speaker 4: want to hit a move and target run with that thing.
Speaker 1: He's an doorsman. He's an outdoorsman. He's good at fishing.
Speaker 1: He can tap.
Speaker 4: One of the first time but I've never met him,
Speaker 4: well not the first time, but one of the first
Speaker 4: time we ever really hung out.
Speaker 2: He was planning a camping trip.
Speaker 1: While he loves the camp, loves loves a good camp,
Speaker 1: Harry camp.
Speaker 5: He can cook one of cast iron doll That's my favorite.
Speaker 8: You know what, I as I've gotten older, I really
Speaker 8: enjoy car camping because you can literally bring a kitchen
Speaker 8: in your trunk and you can and I love the
Speaker 8: like open fire cooking things fun.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: One of the best thing is taking a squash and a.
Speaker 8: Cork screw and just screwing a bunch of holes in
Speaker 8: a squash, putting it in the ashes, and you crack
Speaker 8: that shit open, open it up.
Speaker 5: Oh it's smoky, it's good. I'm gonna come for you all.
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna do that, but listen, I look forward
Speaker 1: to going. Preston is the perfect person to go camping
Speaker 1: with because he knows all the ship. When you're like,
Speaker 1: how does this tent go together, He's like, is that
Speaker 1: the R two four nine? Er a second?
Speaker 5: That corner out?
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's that guy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that. That's what I need, you know,
Speaker 2: that's what we all.
Speaker 5: It's what we all need.
Speaker 2: But do you know when the.
Speaker 4: Problem is when you start cooking ship them bears be
Speaker 4: smelling it.
Speaker 1: Come on, well you out of so much fear, dude,
Speaker 1: everything we mentioned, you're like, no.
Speaker 2: I saw movies as a kid. That was the mistake
Speaker 2: and I'm trying not to do it with my kid.
Speaker 1: And I made the all these movies. Listen, you do movies.
Speaker 2: Listen.
Speaker 4: Do you know why they make movies, Dano to desensitize you.
Speaker 2: So now now when the aliens come.
Speaker 3: And ship like that, the movies that this is some
Speaker 3: conspiracy ship. Donald believes that bears and sharks banded together
Speaker 3: to make films to desensitized human beings.
Speaker 1: Say they become good.
Speaker 4: You see the motherfucker eaten by a bear. Don't use
Speaker 4: desensitize and you'll take out you know what you do?
Speaker 4: You take out your phone now and your video and
Speaker 4: you shoot that ship.
Speaker 2: I said, I just.
Speaker 3: Wanting to record to reflect that every time I bring
Speaker 3: something up, You're like, no sharks, no bears.
Speaker 5: You have a fear of sharp teeth.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I have a fear of getting eaten by another animal.
Speaker 1: All right, all right, listen, tell us about doing eight shows.
Speaker 4: He doesn't though, right like Super One eight shows a week.
Speaker 1: Tell us about doing eight shows a week. For those
Speaker 1: who don't know the show, it's a it's a very
Speaker 1: hard part. He plays Javert, who's the cop who's chasing
Speaker 1: Jean Valjean. What is that like? Do you have to
Speaker 1: as a singer who's singing such a big part, Do
Speaker 1: you have to do anything special for your voice?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Excuse me, yes, I've trained so long and to still
Speaker 8: be taking voice lessons right now. It is so important
Speaker 8: with a role like this to maintain it and simply
Speaker 8: it's rest and water and I have a baby now,
Speaker 8: so the rest is a bit more unpredictable, so I
Speaker 8: have to kind of take it when I can get
Speaker 8: it and and like stack up rest for two three
Speaker 8: days ahead.
Speaker 1: What about vocal warm ups? Do you do? You know
Speaker 1: you see all these famous singers, they have a whole routine.
Speaker 1: Do you do that or are you lazy about them?
Speaker 8: No? No, I I was cocky in the beginning with it,
Speaker 8: like I was like, this is a role I can
Speaker 8: sing in my sleep, and I could for the first
Speaker 8: three four months, and then it became much more difficult,
Speaker 8: and I think not having the rest that I was
Speaker 8: getting initially made a big difference. So you know, different
Speaker 8: like lip trilling and straw work, vocal function, which is
Speaker 8: literally like vocal cord resistance, so it's strength training for
Speaker 8: your vocal cords.
Speaker 5: This is boring, but.
Speaker 1: The reason we had you on was to tell us
Speaker 1: something we don't know. We don't want to hear about
Speaker 1: golf and weed Donald covers that, and we want to
Speaker 1: know about vocal cord strengthen.
Speaker 8: Yeah, so yeah, it's like, you know, you have to
Speaker 8: think about us being athletes vocally because I also the
Speaker 8: character I play is you know, I have to really
Speaker 8: dig deep and get super dramatic with it. So I'm
Speaker 8: also yelling and screaming a bit, and I lose my
Speaker 8: mind every evening and spoiler alert, I take my life.
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, Yeah, guys, I'm sorry. These are some lame is.
Speaker 2: Spoilers, spoilers, I have a question.
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen limb Is by now, we're allowed
Speaker 1: to spoil it. Yes, One thing I always thought was
Speaker 1: funny about the always like Javert is the main cop everywhere,
Speaker 1: like no matter where they go. Yeah, like the story
Speaker 1: takes place, The story takes place in so many places.
Speaker 1: Why is Javert the only head cop in the whole
Speaker 1: fucking show.
Speaker 5: I don't think we need to ask these questions. No,
Speaker 5: I think I think wherever.
Speaker 1: They go, it's like who's in charge?
Speaker 8: It's the show is perfect, don't question it.
Speaker 5: No, it's I feel like.
Speaker 8: You know, I he you know, he's he's four places
Speaker 8: at a time.
Speaker 5: Oh, look at the dog.
Speaker 1: Sorry, it's my dog. I'm trying to get out of
Speaker 1: answering this. You didn't write it, It's okay.
Speaker 2: I just want to know about the anger.
Speaker 1: What do you Hugo wrote it?
Speaker 2: So it's you don't have to tell us what you're
Speaker 2: tapping in.
Speaker 4: You don't have to tell us what you're tapping into
Speaker 4: or anything like that, but how do you know? What
Speaker 4: do you how are you building that up? And is
Speaker 4: it and is it exhausting? I mean, I imagine eight
Speaker 4: shows a week and having to be angry and sing
Speaker 4: seems very exhausting to me.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's uh, yeah, it's I.
Speaker 8: I do try to mentally go there every night, and
Speaker 8: and I usually always have someone there that I want to,
Speaker 8: you know, do my absolute best for and to go
Speaker 8: to that dark place, and I you know, I try to.
Speaker 5: I'm not going all Daniel day Lewis with.
Speaker 8: It, but like you know, it's it's And then also
Speaker 8: you know, I'm I'm clocking the orchestra. I'm stepping up
Speaker 8: onto a bridge. I'm a size twelve and this bridge
Speaker 8: is like, you know, a size eleven and a half.
Speaker 8: So I'm trying to like stand up on this thing
Speaker 8: where I have this rig coming in to connect to
Speaker 8: me to do this effect for my death and everything.
Speaker 8: So it's there's a lot of mental capacity that comes
Speaker 8: into play there. But it's enjoyable because I do love
Speaker 8: to go there and I love to get. I love to,
Speaker 8: you know, really like scare people because I kind of
Speaker 8: scare myself too, and you have to tap into real
Speaker 8: shit for that obviously.
Speaker 1: But you know, and this is both of his big songs.
Speaker 1: Just bring the house down. I mean, the audience goes
Speaker 1: fucking crazy for you, and I'm so proud of you
Speaker 1: when I when I see it. Yes, Daniel, I have.
Speaker 3: A question for President. That's okay. You were talking about
Speaker 3: vocal exercises, and I know you said this is ring,
Speaker 3: but at the same time, it's something that I think
Speaker 3: is very relevant to not just us on the phone call,
Speaker 3: but a lot of people that listen to the show.
Speaker 2: Not a phone call, this is this is a zoom.
Speaker 3: Sorry us on the zoom called my apologies, Donald, but
Speaker 3: for everybody who is on zoom calls frequently, you know,
Speaker 3: we are communicating more than ever in a way where
Speaker 3: you know, we need to talk more clearly and more crisply.
Speaker 3: And so with that, I'm straining my voice more. My
Speaker 3: fiance is straining her voice more. Do you have any
Speaker 3: advice for just very simple vocal warm ups that could
Speaker 3: be good for anybody who is working from home doing
Speaker 3: voice calls and stuff like that and just you know,
Speaker 3: to better take care of your vocal courts.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.
Speaker 8: I feel like I feel like a lot of times
Speaker 8: we just are lazy with the way we speak to you.
Speaker 5: I didn't say you most of us.
Speaker 2: You're like, come on, what are you talking? A pillow?
Speaker 1: Hold on, bro, your posture is perfect. Could see how
Speaker 1: Donald's protesting he's lying on a bed.
Speaker 5: Local health posture.
Speaker 8: No, I feel like, you know, simply humming, like first
Speaker 8: thing in the morning, because oftentimes you wake up and
Speaker 8: you you know, you kind of you know, chat out
Speaker 8: your plans with your partner or whatever, and and you're
Speaker 8: you're not vocally warmed up, so you're already kind of
Speaker 8: setting yourself.
Speaker 5: Up for the day. You know. It's a yeah, in
Speaker 5: a in a poor way.
Speaker 8: So I think humming, even just putting on some music
Speaker 8: in the morning and singing lightly to it, just to
Speaker 8: kind of like wake your voice up. Because when you
Speaker 8: do speak to people specifically, it's, uh, you're you're it's
Speaker 8: a performative way to to speak to someone. You know,
Speaker 8: you're you're trying to communicate, and when you're communicating, you
Speaker 8: maybe putting in a lot of little extra work than
Speaker 8: you normally just be speaking.
Speaker 1: I would also do little I would do little what
Speaker 1: do you call them? Things that are the things where
Speaker 1: you speak fast. When I was a little, tongue twisters,
Speaker 1: I would do those, Like if I have a big audition,
Speaker 1: I would always do tongue twisters.
Speaker 9: The lips, the tongue lips, the typic the tongue, the lips,
Speaker 9: the typically boat toy boat, toy boat, toy boat toy
Speaker 9: to yo, listen, you know what that's you just said.
Speaker 4: Sounds like so much fun if you do have time,
Speaker 4: even if you're not musical.
Speaker 2: M hm.

Speaker 2: And I'm very proud of you, Daniel.
Speaker 1: I brought this, but I don't. I bought this, but
Speaker 1: I don't even know really what it is. It's called
Speaker 1: I thought you could explain to me what it was. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: I thought it was one thing, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's that, Donald, I feel like you'd love this.
Speaker 1: It's called the Analog Pocket, yes, and it looks like
Speaker 1: a like a Matt Black.
Speaker 3: Game Boy, right, And I just thought I was going
Speaker 3: to be able to play like old school.
Speaker 1: Game Boy games on it, but I can't see. But
Speaker 1: it didn't come with any adapter, and I can't seem
Speaker 1: to what do I do and what can I do
Speaker 1: with this thing?
Speaker 3: You literally put old game Boy cartridges in They fit
Speaker 3: in there, so it is meant to fit game Boy,
Speaker 3: game Boy Advance. To game stats, you have to actually
Speaker 3: go to games cartridges. But what it does is it
Speaker 3: allows it to be a kind of like pan console
Speaker 3: controller for many different kinds of handhelds. Yeah, so, Daniel,
Speaker 3: how many different systems will this little thing play? I'm
Speaker 3: pretty sure it is, like because it has different adapters totally. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: so I think it's game Boy Advanced, regular game Boy.
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure it works with almost any kind of
Speaker 3: game Boy, game Boy Color, game Boy Advance.
Speaker 1: Let's see here.
Speaker 3: Pocket works with cartridge adapters for other handheld systems too,
Speaker 3: like game gear, Neo Geo, Pocket, Color, Atari links and more.
Speaker 1: So it is. Yeah. Yeah, so so do I need
Speaker 1: at Let me ask you a question. If I buy
Speaker 1: a game Boy cartridge, yes, can I just stick it
Speaker 1: in here? Do I need Nope? You just stick it
Speaker 1: right in. Oh, I gotta go on eBay right now, y'all.
Speaker 2: Go to gamestaff too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but I was gonna go. I was coming on.
Speaker 3: I bet you for a little bit of money. If
Speaker 3: you want to adventure it out into the valley. There's
Speaker 3: a place, I believe it's called game Dude, and they
Speaker 3: sell vintage cartridges and stuff like that, and they have
Speaker 3: they buy back.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So if you want this, do I need adapters
Speaker 1: or anything?
Speaker 3: Just stick in here? So so on its because all
Speaker 3: those cartridges are different. They're slightly different. Yes, but right
Speaker 3: it works with any let's see game Boy, game Boy Color,
Speaker 3: game Boy Advance works right off the bat.
Speaker 1: You do need to end.
Speaker 3: No, Supernintendo is we're talking handheld consoles.
Speaker 2: Sucks. That sucks.
Speaker 1: Well that's what it's trying to emulate. Well, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not doing an ad for it. I
Speaker 1: just bought it late night thinking I could it was
Speaker 1: cool and I needed Daniel to explain it to me.
Speaker 1: Ali pocket is an awesome device. It's really really cool.

Speaker 3: you haven't played any of the original three Pokemons, like
Speaker 3: you know, Red Blue and Gold or Red Blue and Yellow.

Speaker 4: Absolutely when when the Game Boy came out, the one
Speaker 4: that was the dopest was the freaking Super Mario Brothers.
