Ozians, gather 'round! The second half of the magical film event is here, and Rae and Jenna have seen it! This week on Femsplaining, we are celebrating the end of an era with a discussion about Wicked (both part 1 of the film series and the Broadway show).
We're stepping out onto the Yellow Brick Road that paves the emotional way for the final chapter, as we discuss how the film brought the beloved musical to life. We'll be breaking down all the tears, the iconic final numbers, and the shocking reveals that lead to that famous conclusion (it's not spoilers if the Broadway show is 20+ years old).
And yes, we're returning to the man behind the curtain for one last, glorious defense! We're celebrating Jeff Goldblum as the definitive "Rizzard" of Oz, with unlimited charisma that rivals even Fiyero's.
Tune in as we discuss the ultimate journey of Glinda and Elphaba, the performances that defied gravity, and our final, emotional thoughts on the biggest movie event of the year!

00:00:00
Yeah, as it is just just two friends being being gal pals.
00:00:05
Yeah, just like I don't know come into the middle of our
00:00:08
conversation like we've said before, which I personally
00:00:10
every. Single time.
00:00:13
I mean, this is what it's like. If you were with us at like, I
00:00:16
don't know, lunch or something, this is what it would be like.
00:00:19
Would we be brunch people if we lived closer?
00:00:22
Absolutely. I love brunch.
00:00:24
I fuck with a brunch. A good brunch.
00:00:27
What do you think? Yes.
00:00:28
No. I don't think I've done brunch
00:00:30
enough to to say I'm a brunch person, but anytime that I can
00:00:34
eat pancakes I fuck with. Oh my God, me too.
00:00:37
They're my favorite. I love.
00:00:41
So like, diners are really big here.
00:00:44
I know like a lot of parts of the country don't really do
00:00:47
diners, but if we go to a diner for dinner, I almost exclusively
00:00:52
will always get pancakes for dinner at a diner.
00:00:54
Like that's like my thing. As you should.
00:00:57
Why? Why would you get anything else?
00:00:59
And diner pancakes are just different because you know
00:01:01
they're on that nice. You make them on the griddle.
00:01:04
Oh, I love pancakes. You know, pancakes, pancakes.
00:01:07
I also want pancakes. But Speaking of pancakes, I'm
00:01:09
just like, I know that like Wicked's been doing all of those
00:01:13
weird promotions with like random ass shit.
00:01:16
Did they do one with Denny's where there's like Wicked
00:01:19
pancakes? If they didn't, they should
00:01:22
have. I mean like their marketing team
00:01:24
seems to be unlimitedly funded, so I mean, I don't know why
00:01:27
they're not. Come get your brain and
00:01:29
pancakes. It's, it's that one.
00:01:31
I think that it's so interesting that we're going back to kind of
00:01:35
that mid 2000s, well like early mid 2000s level of like
00:01:41
marketing where it's just random shit.
00:01:44
I love it. I'm personally, I'm personally
00:01:46
here for it because I love like I love the random like, oh,
00:01:50
here's a body spray and it's wicked themed.
00:01:53
Cool, I'm down. There's just so much wicked
00:01:56
shit. I was in a Target the other day
00:01:58
and they had wicked swiffers. So there's a pink Glinda fucking
00:02:03
Swiffer. That you can just buy.
00:02:06
Stop it. Is it pink?
00:02:08
Yes, see, I would buy it all. This is why, like I feel like
00:02:13
this is marketed directly at me because I like really love pink
00:02:17
and like I really love Glenda. So like I would fall into every
00:02:20
single, every single marketing trap, which is why I don't go
00:02:24
shopping because I know I will want these things.
00:02:27
I mean, fair enough, fair enough.
00:02:30
Did you see the wicked Polly Pocket?
00:02:34
Why would you say that to me? Those are two of my favorite
00:02:36
things. That's why I said that, and I
00:02:38
thought that for sure you of all people would have seen that.
00:02:41
Also. By the way, guys, we're talking
00:02:42
about Wicked today. Yeah, yeah.
00:02:45
In case you haven't figured it out yet, this is not one of our
00:02:48
tangents. But no, I haven't seen that.
00:02:51
And I actually need to. Last year at last year at New
00:02:56
York Comic Con, they, it was the the Noble collection.
00:03:00
They had a big wicked, I mean, it was because it was a booth,
00:03:04
but it was like a whole open display and everything.
00:03:06
And it was pretty cool. Like it was interactive.
00:03:08
Like you can go and get your picture taken in front of the
00:03:10
bubble and you could choose if you wanted the witch hat and the
00:03:12
broom or the crown and the and the wand.
00:03:16
And of course I could be and my my friend were like, yeah, so
00:03:19
get a picture taken. And then we're like, oh, I kind
00:03:23
of really want to buy the crown. I think I want the one too.
00:03:25
And we both left with the crown and the one.
00:03:28
That consumerism just hits really hard.
00:03:32
It was just, I guess I just like it came over me and I was like,
00:03:36
fuck. Well, I also like really, really
00:03:39
love Wicked. Like I have like how old am I?
00:03:44
So I have like had had like a 20 year like relationship with
00:03:49
Wicked that goes like real deep. So I am like extra vulnerable to
00:03:53
the marketing and to the to the love.
00:03:55
So it's the whole thing. So as as my friend, I'm gonna
00:04:01
ask you to hold space for me while I say this.
00:04:06
I have not listened to Wicked in its entirety.
00:04:09
That's OK. You listen to like the like the
00:04:11
like the real jams, right. Like you've listened to like the
00:04:13
big ones. Yeah.
00:04:14
Yeah. So I'm like a mixture of I love
00:04:18
Broadway, like love, love, love Broadway.
00:04:22
I love obviously, I really like the musical, the first part of
00:04:24
the musical as well. But I actually so like, OK, this
00:04:27
is, this is like my origin, my wicked origin story is I
00:04:33
actually like it came out like I think I want to say like 2005 is
00:04:37
when it came out, but it was around like 2004 or five on
00:04:40
Broadway. And I went away to College in
00:04:43
the fall of 2006. And I went away, I went like,
00:04:46
I'm in New York. I went away to DC.
00:04:47
And I like realized immediately upon getting in the car to leave
00:04:52
that like I had fucked up and I didn't want to leave.
00:04:54
So I was like really, really, really depressed like
00:04:57
immediately. And it was the first time I ever
00:04:58
was like really depressed and, and upset.
00:05:01
Like when I got there to my dorm and everything.
00:05:04
And like, I would say maybe like a few a day or two after, like
00:05:06
my parents dropped me off, I went to like the bookstore just
00:05:09
looking just like looking for something to do because I just
00:05:11
like just didn't know what to do.
00:05:13
And it was terrible. And I, I picked up wicked
00:05:15
because I already had like, I really like the music from the
00:05:18
play and I picked up the book and I read the book.
00:05:21
Book is let me tell you first of all, disclaimer if you have not
00:05:24
read the book, it is not like the play like the the the book
00:05:27
is like the book is saucy. The book is like super dark.
00:05:31
It is definitely not the play. So like I read the book and then
00:05:37
I got like really, really into the music.
00:05:39
I got really into the piano music.
00:05:43
I play piano. So like I had the I had the, the
00:05:45
music and I would play the play the music.
00:05:47
So like wicked, really like that whole first semester where I was
00:05:50
like super depressed and then I like also broke my ankle like
00:05:53
the first day of class. So I was like laid up.
00:05:55
It was a whole, it was a whole thing.
00:05:56
It was really bad. Fall of 2006 was like probably
00:05:59
one of the worst times of my life.
00:06:00
I also had. Eyes going through.
00:06:02
It I also had an eye twitch for the whole semester because I was
00:06:05
so stressed out. It was like, Oh my gosh, it was
00:06:09
literally this is the whole thing.
00:06:11
It was a bad man Jesus Christ. Wicked was like everything.
00:06:15
I would listen to the music, I would read.
00:06:17
I had read the book, the music like really, really helped me
00:06:20
get through. And then and then, you know, I
00:06:23
came home after a semester, but then my roommate at the next
00:06:26
next college went up loving musicals and stuff too.
00:06:28
And we would, I would play, play music and we would sing the
00:06:32
songs together from Wicked on the piano.
00:06:34
And like, it was just, it's just, it's been with me like
00:06:37
this whole time. And I didn't see the play until
00:06:40
2019. So it was over 10 years until I
00:06:45
actually got to see the play on Broadway.
00:06:48
I saw the play. I was like a kid, a kid on
00:06:50
Christmas. I cried during Defying Gravity.
00:06:53
Like it was fantastic. And then as we left the theater,
00:06:56
I fell and I broke my ankle again.
00:06:58
So all this time later, it was a full circle fucking wicked
00:07:01
moment. I don't know if Wiccan has
00:07:04
cursed me or saved me. I don't know.
00:07:07
All I know is that I keep saying I need to go back and see it on
00:07:10
Broadway for my redemption arc. I agree.
00:07:13
Yeah, I. Agree.
00:07:15
Oh my. God, yeah, Also to the theater,
00:07:20
who the theater didn't like help at all.
00:07:22
I was outside, like on the floor with a broken foot.
00:07:24
Actually, it was my foot. And my ankle was messed up, too.
00:07:27
My mom went inside and was like, hey, like, she's outside.
00:07:30
And she fell and they were like, didn't do anything.
00:07:32
So they should give me free Wicked tickets for life.
00:07:34
Still, if you're listening to theater, I forgot what theater
00:07:37
it is. I'm a sue.
00:07:42
Yeah, it's been years. It was happened in 2019, but
00:07:45
listen. So anyway, Wicked has been with
00:07:48
me, been a really big part of my life since I was 18.
00:07:54
You know, I was. Yeah, yeah.
00:07:55
Almost 20 years. So when the movie was coming
00:07:57
out, I was excited. And then I was not excited
00:08:00
because they cast, I'm gonna, I'm gonna say it.
00:08:02
They cast Ariana Grande, and I was not a fan of hers.
00:08:06
That's fair. Who did?
00:08:08
You want then. I didn't know.
00:08:10
I just didn't really want her because I felt like it was she's
00:08:14
a pop star. She's this is like a grab at
00:08:17
marketing like Cynthia Arevo, at least like I got because she's
00:08:21
Broadway. She's like she was somebody not
00:08:24
necessarily known in Hollywood. But I felt like Ariana Grande
00:08:28
was a grab at, you know, like the pop stars and all the kids
00:08:33
who grew up on the shows that she was on and everything.
00:08:36
And I don't like her pop music. I'm going to say it.
00:08:39
I don't like her pop music. But then the minute I heard that
00:08:42
girl, I heard a sample of her singing as Glenda.
00:08:46
I was like, oh boy, we are. We are locked and loaded baby,
00:08:52
let's go. Yeah, I, I, I can see that.
00:08:55
And I, and I kind of agree because at first I was very
00:08:59
confused as to what it was. And again, I thought that it was
00:09:01
like, Oh yeah, this is fucking stunt casting.
00:09:03
It's Harry Styles all over again and all this other bullshit.
00:09:07
But then like I had like heard and seen that, like this was her
00:09:13
like basically her like magnum opus of what she wanted to do
00:09:18
and what she wanted to be and like how like precious Glinda is
00:09:23
to her and wicked. So I'm just like, you know what?
00:09:26
You can have it. Yeah, that's a part of it too,
00:09:29
for me is I kind of didn't know that either until I started,
00:09:32
like until production was starting and you're getting a
00:09:35
more and more. And I thought it was interesting
00:09:37
how John M Chu, you know, the director, he said he didn't want
00:09:41
her. Like he did not want Ariana
00:09:42
Grande in the movie because he was like, you have if you wanna
00:09:45
be in this movie, like you have to be the right Glenda.
00:09:47
I don't care if you're a pop star.
00:09:48
You know, she's wanted to that role since she was like 10 or
00:09:52
something like that. And I remember when I remember
00:09:54
she had said something like like when she was cash, she said
00:09:56
something along the lines of like, I promise that I'm she's
00:09:59
in good hands with me. I have to tell you, right?
00:10:01
She is hands down my favorite part of the movie.
00:10:03
I think that Glenda steals the show.
00:10:05
I think she outshines Cynthia Areevo.
00:10:08
She's honestly like I've seen a lot of the Glenda's, like you
00:10:11
know, the clips of the other Glenda's on Broadway and
00:10:13
everything. Like she's my favorite.
00:10:15
I love her as Glenda. She's so good.
00:10:18
She's just so funny, like I love her delivery in all of her
00:10:22
lines, in all of her scenes. I think that she captures the
00:10:25
character very well of this, like both that blend of naivety
00:10:30
but also the subtle manipulation.
00:10:33
She does. She just really, you could tell
00:10:35
that she was ready, like she knew that character set it out
00:10:38
before she even, you know, got this role.
00:10:41
And I love that for her. I think like, as a fan, as a fan
00:10:46
of something like that must be, you know, she's done such
00:10:48
amazing thing. She's won all these awards and
00:10:50
everything, but as that being you're like dream thing to do,
00:10:55
like it shines through and I just I love her and I like I
00:10:59
love her popular hurt her popular number.
00:11:03
I remember I think that was like the first clip I had seen
00:11:05
because I actually didn't get to see the movie in the theaters,
00:11:08
but I had seen like, you know, leaked clips on TikTok and
00:11:11
stuff. And I think the first thing I
00:11:12
saw was popular and it was the end where she does the three key
00:11:15
changes and that's not on both like that's not in the play.
00:11:20
And then like the normal, the normal song.
00:11:23
And I remember the first time I saw it, I was like, holy shit.
00:11:26
Like this girl just did 3K change.
00:11:29
And then remember reading and saying that she didn't want to
00:11:32
do it. Like she said to the director,
00:11:33
like, no, we need to stay pure to the soundtrack.
00:11:37
And I think Stephen Schwartz, like the composer was like, no,
00:11:40
do it. And now he was saying like he
00:11:42
wanted to edit to the stage play because it was so good.
00:11:44
It just fits. It's so good.
00:11:46
I just love her. I love, love.
00:11:49
I love Glenda, but I love her as Glenda.
00:11:51
She really just gets it. Yeah, the theater kids, they get
00:11:55
it. I'm just like, surprised that
00:11:57
she's not like, OK, guys, I did the thing, now I'm going to
00:12:00
disappear forever. Nothing is going to adopt this.
00:12:04
You know, after this press tour she might like, first of all, if
00:12:07
I were her after like 3 years of back-to-back press tours and
00:12:10
filming, I would probably disappear for like 10 years.
00:12:13
You wouldn't see me. I would need a 10 year
00:12:15
hibernation period. Especially what with what
00:12:18
happened and I think Singapore with that fucking crazy ass fan,
00:12:22
I'm just like, I'd just be like, you know what?
00:12:24
You guys are done. We're done.
00:12:25
We're done. Right, like I need.
00:12:27
I'll see you when I see you. Like, I'm done, but one of my
00:12:32
other favorite castings, and I will say I don't think I could
00:12:35
think of anyone better, is Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard.
00:12:38
Like I just cannot think of anybody else who could be the
00:12:41
Wizard. I think we have a lot of
00:12:43
feelings about Daddy Jeff around here.
00:12:45
Daddy Jeff, here's The thing is that like I recently saw like
00:12:49
someone do an edit of Earth Girls are easy and I'm just
00:12:53
like. Daddy Jeff.
00:12:54
Daddy Jeff. Oh my God.
00:12:58
I I adore him. I think he's like one of the
00:13:00
funniest people. Besides the fact that he's like
00:13:02
super talented. He is one of like the funniest
00:13:05
eccentric people. And when they announced that
00:13:08
casting, I was like, you can, I can literally cannot think of
00:13:11
one other person who would have like that right amount of like
00:13:15
cookiness, but like he can be serious.
00:13:17
Like he is the perfect choice to be the wizard.
00:13:21
That Jeff Goldblum fucking Riz. You know that man.
00:13:25
I don't get the. Wizard.
00:13:26
He's the wizard. And then he's like, you know,
00:13:27
he's out there tap dancing. He's such a ham.
00:13:29
I love that about him. I would fall into whatever
00:13:32
wizard shenanigans, propaganda. I'd be like, yeah, man, like,
00:13:35
let's go. Except the monkeys.
00:13:37
I don't like the flying monkeys. Yeah, I'm not about the animal
00:13:40
cruelty personally. Yeah, we don't we don't support
00:13:45
that here on fem splaining the animal racism, which is OK, OK,
00:13:49
like hold on a minute, I need to talk about racism and wicked
00:13:52
really quick, guys. Bitch, you're green.
00:13:55
It's not OK to be green, but it's real chill to be a talking
00:13:59
fucking midwife bear and like I'm a goat professor, but you're
00:14:04
green. Oh my God, a green here?
00:14:06
Like what? What is the logic here?
00:14:08
Bitch, you're green. Bitch.
00:14:10
Bitch, you're green. You're green.
00:14:13
No one, no one is fazed by the fact that that, like the fucking
00:14:16
goat is a teacher. But like, she's green and it's a
00:14:19
problem. I mean if if like the world has
00:14:23
a history of talking animals. OK.
00:14:27
Because it because isn't that like the whole thing?
00:14:29
Is that like, Yeah. They always talked, yeah.
00:14:31
Yeah, and now it's like concerning that they don't talk
00:14:34
anymore. Right, because they don't, they
00:14:36
don't. Their ability to talk is being
00:14:38
suppressed because that's like it's like racist, like classes
00:14:41
them, like animals should be shouldn't speak.
00:14:43
They should be seen and not heard.
00:14:44
So like it's a whole. I mean that gets into it in part
00:14:46
too. And I mean, I really don't care
00:14:49
if we spoil because this is about wicked and and the play
00:14:52
has been out for a really long time, guys.
00:14:53
So if you don't know what happens, I mean, this isn't on
00:14:57
me. Tough shit, this.
00:14:59
Isn't on me the play's been out for really.
00:15:00
Long time what, like less than a week or like probably, probably
00:15:04
about like a week by the time that I get this edited and we
00:15:07
fucking have it up this. Is like the meanest spoiler
00:15:09
warning ever. Like tough shit.
00:15:11
Yeah, literally. It can't be a spoiler if the
00:15:14
play's been out for like 30 years.
00:15:15
Like it's not a spoil. I mean, fuck, if we're gonna
00:15:18
like, spoil shit then congratulation guys, Darth Vader
00:15:22
is Luke's dad. Sorry, can't believe it.
00:15:24
No spoiler warning somehow populating returned.
00:15:31
That is the worst best writing ever.
00:15:34
The best worst writing. There we go.
00:15:35
Oh. My God it's always fucking
00:15:38
clones. But if Oscar Isaac were in
00:15:41
Wicked, then then that would mean Pedro Pascal could also be.
00:15:44
And they can kiss. I didn't even have to do it this
00:15:46
time. No, no, you didn't have to do it
00:15:49
this time. I think Oscar Isaac could have
00:15:51
been like a second to Jeff Goldblum as the wizard.
00:15:55
OK, OK. I see it.
00:15:56
And then Pedro's just there. He's just like, he's just his
00:16:00
hench men. And they kiss.
00:16:01
Yeah, That's it. Scene out of nowhere.
00:16:04
Yep. But the animal thing, the whole
00:16:08
animal thing, I mean, I know it gets, like I said, it gets into
00:16:10
it in part too, but it's like, obviously it's, it's the wizard
00:16:13
doesn't want them to speak because they're native to Oz and
00:16:16
he's not. And they don't know that.
00:16:18
Nobody, nobody knows that. But he's trying to like,
00:16:20
suppress the animals from speaking.
00:16:22
So there's no dissent. So it's very much like civil
00:16:24
rights, all that. It's a very, very much a
00:16:26
parallel to all that, all that stuff.
00:16:29
So yeah, the the speaking animals is just like inherent to
00:16:33
ounces. I mean, which we know from like
00:16:36
the Wizard of Oz since the lion talks like that was like big
00:16:40
thing spoiler guys, that little baby lion cub in Part 1 is those
00:16:44
cowardly lion. I don't know if you guys caught
00:16:47
that, but. I mean, with the decline of
00:16:50
media literacy, I wouldn't be surprised if people didn't get
00:16:54
the fucking nuance. Most obvious like the other two,
00:16:58
the tin Man and the scarecrow. OK, I can kind like I can see if
00:17:01
you're going into this movie blind and you don't know
00:17:03
anything about wicked. You you haven't like you never
00:17:04
see, never knew about the play or the music or anything.
00:17:07
I can see the other two like the foreshadowing of the other two
00:17:12
are is subtle. Unless you know lion cub that
00:17:15
that like what do you think he's going to warn up being?
00:17:18
He's the cowardly lion. Oh my God.
00:17:21
I have thoughts. I have thoughts.
00:17:24
I also have thoughts. But Speaking of the other two.
00:17:27
Speaking of the other two, why did he look good as Pharaoh
00:17:30
like? Why?
00:17:30
Why did he look good as Pharaoh like in that live live
00:17:33
performance? SpongeBob didn't need to do that
00:17:36
to me. Oh, him.
00:17:37
Yeah. I was like, who?
00:17:38
Squid Bob. Squid, Bob.
00:17:44
Squid Bob is a good I like. That he kind of yeah, usually
00:17:49
I'm like really disgusted by him and I'm gonna go on record and
00:17:51
say it. He's not my cup of tea, guys.
00:17:54
Listen, if he's yours, I have no problem with that.
00:17:56
Not my cup of tea, but I think it's the I think it's the Fiero
00:18:01
like factor. I think it's like like if you
00:18:04
put on that outfit and have like you automatically get that like
00:18:08
you get like a sex symbol status.
00:18:10
I feel like anybody. It's like an RPG item, you get
00:18:14
fucking plus 10 charisma anytime you put it on.
00:18:18
Please someone who plays DND put that in your campaign.
00:18:20
That would be really funny. Oh my God, can we start ADND
00:18:23
campaign and we can have that please?
00:18:25
Honestly, guest DM, where are you?
00:18:29
That's the thing, it's like we need it, we need Adm because we
00:18:32
play DND but nobody will DM you. Find the Fiero suit plus 10
00:18:36
Charisma. Make it my personal mission to
00:18:40
derail your whole campaign. Yeah, it's like I I roll.
00:18:44
I rolled an 18 to jump on table and dance with books.
00:18:49
Jonathan Bailey, the man that you are, Sexiest man alive, the
00:18:55
magazine said. The magazine nailed it.
00:18:59
I was like so excited when I saw that.
00:19:02
My man, my man, my man. It's of course not just the
00:19:06
Fiero sex factor, but he did have the whole slutty little
00:19:08
glasses this year. Like he really was just on
00:19:11
another level. He.
00:19:12
Was working. He was working.
00:19:15
He was he, he put, he put it all into this year.
00:19:19
He's like, I'm going to slut it up.
00:19:21
You know what I love when a man knows what he should be doing
00:19:23
and. Then did you see the whole
00:19:25
thing? Like after the glasses were
00:19:26
viral? Like he designed a whole line of
00:19:28
glasses for like charities. Whoever bought them the money
00:19:32
all went to charity. I'm like bro, you are on another
00:19:35
level. You know what, good for him.
00:19:39
I I think that that that is an effective use of celebrity
00:19:42
status and thirst status. He's so in tune with how
00:19:47
everyone knows he's like a sex symbol and also in tune with
00:19:52
memes that he knows about the slutty little glasses.
00:19:55
I mean, he's the same me, just me.
00:19:56
So he's probably like he, he, I mean, I, I would guess he knows
00:19:59
like this stuff. I know that, but he's more, he's
00:20:01
busier than I am clearly, But like he's not like like people
00:20:05
to like inform him. I love him.
00:20:08
I love, love, love him. And I didn't realize, like, I
00:20:12
don't know how I didn't put two and two together.
00:20:14
That he was from Bridgerton first.
00:20:16
Like, I didn't realize that he was Anthony Bridgerton because
00:20:20
he's got the stupid fucking mutton chops and like that dark
00:20:24
hair. Yeah, but like when it gets to
00:20:26
his season, he doesn't have them anymore.
00:20:28
They have to get yosified when like you need to pay attention
00:20:30
to them. So OK, I've only watched season
00:20:33
1 of Bridgerton. Been distracting this whole
00:20:35
time. I've only watched season 1 so
00:20:37
far. I have to catch up on
00:20:38
Bridgerton, but I know everybody said that like season 2, he has
00:20:43
a glow up because that's the season they get rid of the mug
00:20:46
chops. Yes, again, like like they have
00:20:49
to make them like not appealing so that you're not paying
00:20:52
attention to them except for Benedict for some reason.
00:20:55
Also, this is a little tangent in itself.
00:20:58
And it's like, wow, the Asian girls be fucking eaten because
00:21:01
we fucking won. This is this current season,
00:21:05
like the past season. No, I think it's going to be the
00:21:08
this next season that's going to be coming out soon.
00:21:12
His love interest is an Asian woman and was like thank.
00:21:15
You good for good for her. You get it truly.
00:21:19
Now I gotta I gotta do I gotta do a Bridgeton binge.
00:21:21
And that way we can we can talk about it.
00:21:22
But I've only watched season 1 so and he's such like a he's
00:21:26
such like a grump. He's just like a like a Dick.
00:21:29
But like I get it. Like I get why he's a Dick.
00:21:32
He just wants to he just wants to bang whores.
00:21:35
In the words of Frank Reynolds, banging whores.
00:21:39
But I just didn't put together like when I saw him as Fiero and
00:21:42
you know, he's got all, but his hair is now like light.
00:21:44
He's like, talk about Yosefide. He's.
00:21:47
What did men do to deserve him? Literally, can someone please
00:21:53
respond to us and let us know, like what men have ever done to
00:21:56
do to deserve Jonathan Bailey? Yeah, nothing I can think of.
00:22:00
And This is why I have a hard time believing in God because
00:22:02
what do you mean you made that for men?
00:22:06
Like women are already like super pretty and like most men
00:22:10
are like medium ugly. Right.
00:22:13
They're like Squid Bob. Most men.
00:22:15
And then there's Jonathan Bailey.
00:22:17
Oh my God, did you actually watch like the SpongeBob musical
00:22:20
though? I didn't, but I heard he was
00:22:23
good because he kind of is a human SpongeBob.
00:22:27
I bought it. Did you really?
00:22:29
Like I have it on like some platform somewhere.
00:22:32
Because. I wanted to watch it.
00:22:34
I'm have to steal that from you. I, I will give it to you.
00:22:36
It's it's, it's actually really good.
00:22:39
I'm sure like, I have never been disappointed by any sort of
00:22:42
play. I just love, I love musicals.
00:22:44
I love that kind of stuff. But I would think it would be
00:22:46
fun. It's SpongeBob, you know?
00:22:47
Yeah, it's the best day ever. Always but him.
00:22:52
OK, wait, let me go back to Jonathan Bailey for a minute
00:22:54
because I was saying we have we have the we have the the lion.
00:22:57
And now Jonathan Bailey has Fiero.
00:23:00
Spoiler alert, will become the Scarecrow.
00:23:05
So I don't know, have you have you listened to like the the
00:23:09
Broadway soundtrack? Like do you have you heard all
00:23:10
the songs like from Broadway or I heard it once I I did it like
00:23:14
a once around. I didn't like hyper fixate on it
00:23:16
like I have like other musicals. OK, so personally, this is my
00:23:22
opinion and I would love to hear other people in the wicked
00:23:24
fandom chime in on this. There there are songs that are
00:23:28
just unbelievable. I mean we can define gravity,
00:23:30
the wizard and I popular whatever no good deed is in
00:23:34
season 2 and that song season 2 Part 2 act 2 of the show, Part 2
00:23:40
of the movie. And that is when he becomes a
00:23:44
scarecrow because she's trying to save him from being beaten
00:23:50
and murdered, which as as happens in ounces and her spell
00:23:56
works, but turns him into a scarecrow because she doesn't
00:23:59
want like she's in the song. She's saying let his bones never
00:24:02
break, let it let his. I don't know.
00:24:05
She says bullshit like that right?
00:24:06
And and it works. But the way his bones don't
00:24:08
break is because he becomes a straw man like.
00:24:11
Right. But no good deed is the Best
00:24:14
Song of the whole play in my opinion and that I can't wait to
00:24:19
see. But also because I love Wicked
00:24:22
so much and I'm I've listened to like all the different different
00:24:26
girls sing it. Jessica Bosk, hands down best
00:24:29
version of Jessica Bast, Best alphabet and best no good deed
00:24:34
ever. So good luck Cynthia Ervo.
00:24:37
So I'm gonna say something that is probably like gonna be
00:24:41
controversial to say I didn't like her alphabet like I think
00:24:44
like they should have picked someone else to be be alphabet.
00:24:47
Like I liked her performance like as an actress but like
00:24:49
singing wise it was giving Disney Princess.
00:24:53
I agree. I don't think that's
00:24:54
controversial because I agree. But then again, we both share
00:24:57
many opinions, so we could both be controversial to Lulu
00:25:01
together. Yeah, I agree.
00:25:05
Her performance, yeah, was good. And I think that's maybe a
00:25:08
reason why I felt like also, Ariana Grande really stole the
00:25:11
show because she just, like, fit perfectly.
00:25:14
Yeah, everyone fit. Everybody like Jeff Goldblum,
00:25:17
Michelle Yao, my queen, my mother, Michelle Yao, Squid Bob,
00:25:22
everybody, Everybody fit. She's the only one where it's
00:25:26
like it's Elphaba. Like you got to nail it.
00:25:29
You got to nail it. It it's very big shoes to fill.
00:25:34
It is. And it's like not just obviously
00:25:36
Indiana Menzel, which like a lot of people think of because she
00:25:39
was the first, but like I said, Jessica Bosk is like, I think
00:25:43
within the Broadway like fandom, I think that majority of people
00:25:47
will say Jessica Bosk was the best Elphaba.
00:25:50
And right, I don't think anyone can sing like that woman.
00:25:54
So I think they could have done better with Elphaba.
00:25:58
Yeah, like I just, I didn't feel defying gravity like I had with
00:26:04
like other recordings. I agree.
00:26:07
I mean, I still cried because Defying Gravity and for Good
00:26:10
make me cry every single time and I'm like, I'm fine.
00:26:14
I've heard these song that gajillion times.
00:26:18
But I feel like Defying Gravity was also really good because of
00:26:21
the visuals. Like you know, the glass is
00:26:24
breaking, that was the window shattering.
00:26:26
All that was like really great. The whole scene, You know, they
00:26:29
do things that you can't that obviously can't be done on
00:26:31
stage. So it's so much like it's so
00:26:33
much happening. But I agree.
00:26:36
I agree the whole climax may have been could have been
00:26:40
possibly done better by someone else.
00:26:43
Yeah, yeah. Don't come at us.
00:26:45
Please, I'm glad we share this opinion, I didn't want to say
00:26:50
it. I also didn't want to say it,
00:26:52
but I feel like unfortunately it did have to be said and at this
00:26:56
point it's a podcast, so. I mean, like, I'm not going to
00:27:00
deny her talent. Like she's extremely talented.
00:27:02
She's won, you know, Tony's all that stuff.
00:27:05
Like she's extremely talented, but not everyone is meant just
00:27:08
because like you have the range of the talent.
00:27:11
I don't know, like I always feel like even when I see her perform
00:27:13
Defying Gravity on like, you know, they just did the live
00:27:16
special on NBC or at like the Oscars and everything, when I
00:27:19
watch her perform it like, yeah, she's been like, she's
00:27:22
phenomenal. Like she's got a phenomenal
00:27:23
voice, but I don't know, it's just something about it is just
00:27:27
not. It I think I also like kind of
00:27:31
was wanting more of a contrast between their voices to get that
00:27:37
like nicer harmony. That's yeah, that's a good
00:27:40
point. I also just don't like, don't
00:27:43
like how whenever you see like something live, like they they
00:27:47
sideline Ariana for that song and I'm like, she's a huge part
00:27:50
of that. Like she's needs to be there.
00:27:52
I don't know. I don't know who I would have
00:27:54
cast, but I mean, there's no denying Cynthia Ervos talent.
00:27:57
But sorry guys. Hashtag not my alphabet.
00:28:02
Can we get some wicked margaritas up in here?
00:28:05
Damn. Yo Chili's Chili's is like
00:28:09
fucking deserves like promotion of the year because the way
00:28:15
people are, I've never heard anyone talk about chili so much
00:28:18
in my whole life than I have in the past like month.
00:28:21
Apparently like some servers have been having people do the
00:28:26
the Rift. Stop it.
00:28:30
I was like, that's crazy work. It's crazy work, but also it's
00:28:33
hilarious because apparently like, I mean, I'm, I am on
00:28:37
Chili's wicked Margarita TikTok right now.
00:28:39
Like there's all over my TikTok and everybody's like, don't
00:28:43
drink more than two of them. They will fuck you up.
00:28:46
So like everyone keeps getting like Wilder and Wilder.
00:28:50
I'm like, I need 1 so bad. But I really just want the
00:28:53
little Glenda bond. Apparently you can just order a
00:28:56
Shirley Temple and do it that way.
00:28:59
That's what I would do anyway because I don't really drink and
00:29:02
I love Shirley Temples, they're one of my faves.
00:29:04
I try not to get litty titty in public.
00:29:06
I get tired. I also my tolerance to alcohol
00:29:10
peaked and went away in college. Like it was just like a short
00:29:14
time period. Yeah.
00:29:16
I just I just don't generally don't really drink alcohol
00:29:19
because I am paranoid too like with any medication with all my
00:29:23
my stomach full of anti anxiety medicine and I'm like I don't
00:29:26
need to make it worse but I fuck with the Shirley Temple real
00:29:29
hard. Get us all up in a Chili's next
00:29:32
time I do a fucking movie collab.
00:29:35
We be in that Chili's. We should.
00:29:37
I wish that we would live together because we could have
00:29:39
filmed from the chili. Coming to you live from the
00:29:43
chilies, it's. Like the only time we drink it.
00:29:45
You look really fucked up on the wicked drinks.
00:29:49
That would be on brand. It would.
00:29:51
I'm actually probably. I think I'm going to see the
00:29:54
movie. It comes out next Thursday.
00:29:57
I think Thursday or Friday, Thursday.
00:30:00
I think Thursday. So I think I'm going Saturday.
00:30:03
So many of the times are already sold out.
00:30:05
So like the only time that they have available, she's like
00:30:07
crazy. It's insane.
00:30:08
It's like 945 and 10 AM are like the only times I can get tickets
00:30:13
and I'm like, OK, well, if it's 10 AM, it will get out in time
00:30:16
for me to go to Chili's. And Chili's is in the parking
00:30:18
lot at the movie theater. She multitasking.
00:30:21
She is optimizing this outing. Honestly.
00:30:24
Queen behavior. Me.
00:30:27
Oh my, I was about to ask him. Just like does New York even
00:30:29
have Chili's? Yeah, there's there's a quite a
00:30:32
few, but like around me, I'm like in a weird spot where like
00:30:36
there's either a ton of fast food and then like no
00:30:40
restaurants. So like that's like I have to go
00:30:42
like twits like 2025 minutes to the movie theater and that's
00:30:45
where the Chili's is. So just what that Chili's is?
00:30:48
They have good quesadillas. Hi, welcome to Chili's.
00:30:51
Have you seen that? Have you never seen that video?
00:30:53
No. What is?
00:30:54
That. That was a vocal stem for a hot
00:30:59
minute. I'll have to find it and I'll
00:31:01
send it to you and then you'll be like, oh what the fuck is
00:31:04
wrong with you? No, I'll probably be like, yeah,
00:31:06
I love this. I think that Chili should
00:31:09
sponsor us honestly for all the free advertising we're giving
00:31:11
them right now. Like we have said, nothing bad
00:31:14
about Chili's, nor can I, nor can I say anything bad about.
00:31:17
Chili's, but the last time I ate at Chili's.
00:31:19
So the only reason I remember the last time I ate a Chili's is
00:31:23
because it was fucking insane. Like the exact time it was anime
00:31:29
NYC 2022 and I was driving home from the city with my brother.
00:31:33
I had taken him with me and it was the first time I ever did a
00:31:36
lot like a on camera interview. And it was with Adam MacArthur
00:31:40
and an yakko from Jujitsu Kaizen.
00:31:42
And on the way home we weren't like starving so we just found
00:31:45
the 1st place we could find and it was Chili's.
00:31:47
And my brother was like, oh, I'm going to the bathroom.
00:31:49
I was like, OK and he's gone for like 20 minutes and I'm like he
00:31:51
comes back and he's like, oh so there was like a guy in the
00:31:55
bathroom who like was on the floor like tweaking out like
00:31:58
having a panic attack. And he's like, and I'm sitting
00:32:01
there and the guy's feet are in my arm, like were in my stall.
00:32:06
And then there's another guy who was like was just in there and
00:32:08
he was an EMT and he was trying to get the guy to breathe.
00:32:11
And the guy was like, Oh, my wife give my wife like this was
00:32:15
like, I didn't want to come out of the stall.
00:32:17
I was so like, and like, literally we, I saw like the
00:32:21
EMTs come in and everything going to the bathroom.
00:32:23
I'm like, what the is going on? Where's Patrick?
00:32:25
And then he comes out, He's like, so, so that was the last
00:32:28
time I was at Chili's, and that's the only reason I
00:32:30
remember. Why is everything like video
00:32:34
game cutscene for you? I don't know.
00:32:41
I don't know there this week in my life like that was I remember
00:32:45
him telling me too and the way he like said it, the way he was
00:32:47
like describing it was so wild. I was sitting there.
00:32:50
I had like tears coming down my face like it was doesn't happen
00:32:53
to anyone else. It's it's like or anything, I
00:32:55
guess, I don't know. But anyway, you need to come to
00:32:58
New York so we can go see Wicked and have my redemption arc.
00:33:00
I agree. I agree.
00:33:01
I agree. I do so that was 2019 I saw it.
00:33:07
I hate that Broadway so expensive.
00:33:08
It's pretty rude. I mean, I wonder if it's going
00:33:11
to be a part of the schedule for like Broadway next year?
00:33:16
Well, that's how I originally went to see it.
00:33:18
Like we got Broadway week tickets, Yeah, so I don't mean.
00:33:21
But again, that was like years ago, so I don't know if it's how
00:33:24
much it's changed since then. But what do they usually do I.
00:33:26
Saw it for this most recent time that I was there.
00:33:30
But like with the like hype of the movie and everything, I like
00:33:34
didn't even put that on my list of like, Oh yeah, like I would
00:33:37
be down to see this one 'cause I'm just like, we're not even
00:33:38
gonna try. No, that's it's definitely one
00:33:42
that I would say, you know, you're not going to win a
00:33:43
lottery to because it's probably like one of the most requested
00:33:46
ones. And I will say like seeing it on
00:33:49
stage is a completely different experience.
00:33:51
And like, granted, I had waited over 10 years to see it on
00:33:55
stage. So I was like, I was on another,
00:33:57
I was in another level. Like I was just so excited and
00:34:01
so ready. But it's it's just it's just
00:34:04
phenomenal on stage and the practical effects, like even the
00:34:08
even just like the flying monkeys, which again, I fucking
00:34:11
hate the flying monkeys. I hate them in the Wizard of Oz
00:34:13
and I hate them in wicked. Really good though.
00:34:16
Add it to the list. I like how they were how like,
00:34:19
what's his face? Gregory McGuire, the author of
00:34:21
the book, was like, I'm going to write a prequel to The Wizard of
00:34:24
Oz, man. Fan fiction style College AU
00:34:30
Yeah. Yeah, enemies to lovers.
00:34:33
Like like like my biggest thing is that it's just like, yes,
00:34:37
there is a lot of sapphic themes, but it like the fact
00:34:39
that it wasn't just like full on lesbians is where I was just
00:34:42
like, yeah, you guys lost, lost me.
00:34:44
Yeah. And literally like everybody who
00:34:47
has played the roles, they're all like, yeah, I played it
00:34:50
super lesbian. Like, OK, then like just rewrite
00:34:52
it because Fiero's gay as shit. Like really?
00:34:55
Also my favorite thing are we're all like the commentary
00:34:58
surrounding dancing through life when it came out.
00:35:01
And I was like, Can you imagine being in a library?
00:35:03
And some like fucking Prince just comes in talk and has an
00:35:06
existential crisis about wanting to die like.
00:35:09
Bro we're trying to study for midterms.
00:35:11
Fuck off, we all want to die. You're not special.
00:35:14
Can you not dance on my textbook here dude?
00:35:17
So I almost had to pay for that. This is printed.
00:35:22
Bitch, I'm not a Prince. I can't afford my books.
00:35:25
I'm on scholarship. This was a bootleg PDFI pirated
00:35:29
this I. Guess he throws the papers bro.
00:35:35
I got a key Colts. Again and lazy spins all the
00:35:38
bookshelves. No I needed.
00:35:40
I was trying to find a book. Damn, you do a decimal system.
00:35:44
But he's hot, so I mean, I guess it's like win some, lose some, I
00:35:47
don't know. Yeah, it's Jonathan Bailey.
00:35:50
Yeah, he could do what he wants. And like, since you haven't you,
00:35:53
you haven't seen the stage play at all, right?
00:35:56
I saw a bootleg version. OK, so like, there's the one
00:35:59
line that like all the Broadway people were talking about where
00:36:03
during Dancing Through Life where Fiera was like, what's the
00:36:06
most swankified place in town? And I'm like, why did they cut
00:36:10
that line? That is the most, it's so
00:36:15
ridiculous #1 let's start there. But like Jonathan bailing you to
00:36:20
say that line, what's the most swankified place in town?
00:36:24
Somewhere out there I'm sure he said it at one point, I just
00:36:27
can't prove it. Jonathan Bailey, if you have
00:36:30
said that line, please call us now 1800.
00:36:36
Don't worry, eventually you're gonna interview him and then you
00:36:38
can ask him to say it. It's like my only question and
00:36:41
then I just like end the interview.
00:36:42
It's like. You just leave the press junket,
00:36:45
just walk into the into the sunset.
00:36:47
They're like, what outlet was she from?
00:36:50
We should make sure they don't come back here anyway, so we
00:36:54
about to see Jonathan Bailey kind of die like within the next
00:36:57
one. It's fine.
00:37:00
It's good Bob. It's good Bob.
00:37:01
Spoiler alert, he's a Tin Man, which he deserves.
00:37:04
He actually didn't. He didn't even deserve that
00:37:06
because like the whole thing is that like she's again trying
00:37:09
alphabet. Everything alphabet does works,
00:37:12
but not the way she intended and kind of backfires.
00:37:15
So like she's trying to save him because he's dying and like he's
00:37:19
trying to repair his heart and they only like the her spell
00:37:21
takes away his heart and he becomes a tin man and he then he
00:37:23
gets all pissed and then he's like forms a fucking mob to take
00:37:27
her on. I'm like dude, like would you
00:37:29
rather be dead? That like like choose your path.
00:37:32
But now he has a reason to live. He's such a pussy.
00:37:35
He doesn't have to pretend to be vapid and shallow.
00:37:39
He has someone who's who accepts him.
00:37:42
Fuck off. I also love how like when when
00:37:45
John M2 was like, Oh my God, you guys are gonna go crazy on the
00:37:48
red carpet when you see who voices the cowardly lion and
00:37:50
everybody was so afraid it was James Corden that he had to come
00:37:53
out the next day and say this is who was voicing it.
00:37:55
It's not James Corden like. He sneaks into every musical
00:37:59
like movie adaption ever and I'm just like who keeps letting him
00:38:02
in here? Who isn't watching the door
00:38:05
fuck? He has a skeleton key to every
00:38:08
single set. Honestly I'm just like fuck.
00:38:11
Right. Like and like he literally was
00:38:13
like the star of Into the Woods. Like somehow like like how?
00:38:19
I don't know. And that that cast was stacked.
00:38:22
And then James fucking Corden as the Baker or whatever.
00:38:24
Like what? Come on, let you in here.
00:38:27
Who let you put Jeremy Jordan? Like what?
00:38:30
Like, come on, let's like throw Jeremy Jordan in something and
00:38:33
just call it a day. Like that's my that's my my
00:38:37
vote. But James Corden, as we know, as
00:38:41
we know as of now, is not in Part 2.
00:38:44
Could you imagine if they were just lying?
00:38:47
I would actually be fucking hilarious.
00:38:48
I couldn't honestly, at that point, I couldn't even be mad at
00:38:51
that point. I would be like, that was a good
00:38:53
one. You got us.
00:38:55
We hoped so hard that we were willing to believe a blatant lie
00:38:58
that. Would be such a fucking power
00:39:01
move That would be like that's like why I love Jesus Kaizen the
00:39:06
the manga, the writer Tommy. I love him because he like
00:39:13
blatantly trolls his fans and I'm like, I aspire to be that
00:39:17
like that influential of a creator where I can just say
00:39:21
what the fuck I want and completely troll my fans.
00:39:23
Like that is so a power play and I love it.
00:39:27
It's amazing. Like when JJK ended and he was
00:39:29
like Eric because everybody was like convinced that like
00:39:31
obviously Gojo wasn't dead and his like final note to the fans
00:39:35
was like, did you really think I'd bring that blue eyed urchin
00:39:37
back? He literally said that he was I
00:39:41
put, I put, I put hints making you all think he might come
00:39:46
back, but I never would. What a hater.
00:39:49
That's so me. It's so funny because like bro,
00:39:53
you actively created this character and.
00:39:56
You listen, sometimes girlies be ruined and shit but.
00:39:59
That is so that's like peak hater.
00:40:01
And imagine being like one of the like #1 best selling, you
00:40:06
know, manga in the world or like it, whatever you're doing, and
00:40:08
being able to just come out and be like, fuck you.
00:40:11
So what are you most excited about for Part 2?
00:40:13
Wicked. Is it cliche of me to say the
00:40:15
costuming? No, because I was thinking that
00:40:18
as well, because the costume is absolutely unbelievable.
00:40:22
Like that's the main thing that I'm excited for seeing more
00:40:26
Daddy Jeff. He's got those crisp suits on.
00:40:28
I'm also really interested to like see how they like end up
00:40:32
executing Tin Man and the Scarecrow, like how that's going
00:40:35
to look, right, especially because how we've seen anything
00:40:38
for that yet. I don't think we have right.
00:40:40
No, and it's completely left up to interpretation because in the
00:40:43
stage play it happens off, off, off stage, you don't see
00:40:46
anything. So I'm curious if they're going
00:40:48
to actually show it, if they're going to like try to hold it
00:40:51
until the end, you know, so cuz like the reveal at the end of
00:40:54
the play is, Oh my God, it's Fiero's there at the very end
00:40:57
and he's a scarecrow. Like, I don't know if they could
00:40:59
do that. Like in the movie.
00:41:00
I think it would kind of, I don't know, I think it would
00:41:02
kind of be like leaving us with just that last glimpse of him as
00:41:05
a scarecrow. Nah.
00:41:06
I. Wonder.
00:41:07
If they're gonna show Dorothy, like I know they they show
00:41:10
Dorothy like they, you've seen her silhouette, you've seen her
00:41:12
from behind. But I'm curious if they're gonna
00:41:13
actually show like as an active player, like see her face the
00:41:17
actress or whoever was playing Dorothy.
00:41:19
Yeah, there been a lot of rumors about that too, but.
00:41:21
Is it really? Necessary.
00:41:23
It's not I gonna say it's again. If we're going by the stage
00:41:26
play, Dorothy also is in it, but you never see her.
00:41:28
It's like a silhouette or it's just like the bucket of water or
00:41:32
you know, it's you. It's not about her.
00:41:34
It's not her story, right, But I'm just curious to see how they
00:41:36
what they do with that, but also the costuming.
00:41:38
I agree. I love Glenda's clothes.
00:41:40
I can't wait to see more of her clothes because her dresses are
00:41:43
fantastic. My Princess.
00:41:45
One of my think, I think my favorite outfit of her is, is
00:41:48
the bathrobe in popular. I love love love that.
00:41:51
I think it's so cool. I love a I murdered my husband
00:41:55
robe. Yeah, completely mysteriously,
00:41:58
my husband mysteriously died and.
00:42:01
Oh no, as. Oh, no.
00:42:03
But yeah, I again like no good deed is my favorite part is my
00:42:08
favorite song. And of course I'm like really
00:42:10
looking forward tricks. It's so powerful and it's so
00:42:13
like it ramps up like it's it's fantastic.
00:42:16
But again, with the casting, I'm like, I'm sure she'll do good.
00:42:20
She's got great voice. But like you got shoes to fill
00:42:23
girly, you got these shoes that are really hard to fill.
00:42:26
Again, I just, every time I hear her sing, I'm just like, it just
00:42:28
sounds like a Disney Princess. Yeah, which is another.
00:42:32
Bad thing. But but you're not supposed to
00:42:36
sound like that in Part 2. When you've gone dark, you've
00:42:38
gone like it. Yeah.
00:42:40
I don't know. We'll see.
00:42:42
I just, I'm just partial because I'll never get over the clip of
00:42:45
of Jessica Vasquez singing that song.
00:42:47
So I'm partial. Forever ruined for any other
00:42:50
prospect. Literally like she literally did
00:42:53
that. She that and the wizard and I
00:42:55
like those two. She fucking and she still sings
00:42:57
it like if you go apparently, like if you go see her do like a
00:43:00
like a show or something like that, she'll sing, he'll sing
00:43:01
it. And I'm like, this bitch is
00:43:03
like, I'm not. She knows that.
00:43:04
She knows the bread and butter. I'm supposed to interview her at
00:43:08
some point and I'm like, is it appropriate to just be like,
00:43:10
hey, can you just like sing real quick K bye.
00:43:16
How? How are you going to be normal?
00:43:18
Like no, OK, that's not on the table, right?
00:43:22
That's not even on the table. OK, OK, she's no, it's not even
00:43:26
like talk about a full circle moment with all of wicked and
00:43:28
stuff. When I get to talk to her, it's
00:43:30
done. It's over.
00:43:32
That that's when you're going to retire and just like, fucking
00:43:35
evaporate. See you in 10 years.
00:43:39
Not you, right, Ray? The cat is eating something.
00:43:42
Oh, here she. Comes she eating another like
00:43:43
big ass grasshopper or big ass cricket was it?
00:43:46
She does eat crickets, but she was eating.
00:43:48
We have this, we have a Christmas tree out right now
00:43:50
because it was it was from my stepdad's mother's place.
00:43:54
So he took it out to see like what it looks like and there's
00:43:56
no top to it. So it's just sitting in the
00:43:59
middle of our living room like 1/2 put together tree and the
00:44:02
cats keep eating it and I'm like guys get the fuck.
00:44:05
Cats doing cat shit. I don't know.
00:44:06
And then Ted tried to climb it and he's literally like almost
00:44:08
20 lbs. I'm like, bro, you're going to
00:44:10
knock this whole tree over. He is chunky.
00:44:12
Every time I've seen him, I'm just like, what the hell he's
00:44:16
doing me. The guy.
00:44:18
It was hard. OK, OK.
00:44:20
Anyway, on that note, you guys should go see if we get and let
00:44:22
us know what you think, correct? Yeah.
00:44:24
Drink some margaritas. Toss.
00:44:25
Toss.
