Oh, great.

No, that's great.

I think that I exist exclusively in fake music, I would say.

Doing, I'm like a musical comedian, and most of my music is, I would say, pretending that I know how to be musical while wrapping itself around to accidentally having to learn a lot about music over the past, like,

decade or so I write music and I improvise music but really born out of a desire to pretend that I know how to create music and and then that pretending became true like you're living the dream yeah you know it's true it's a real fake it maybe maybe make it hey thank you so much thank you and your bona fides

Currently in rewrites in year six of an original musical.

My comedy partner, Zach Reno, and I, along with David Wayne, wrote a musical that was originally conceived as a feature, and then we decided to pivot it to stage, and we did...

more than a workshop, less than a show.

It was a show.

It was a show, yeah, here in Los Angeles in February at the Chaplin Studios.

And now we're doing some rewrites, re-breaking some songs to, yeah, I guess, send it to Broadway.

I'm saying it here, so now it'll happen.

I'm so sorry.

It was a hot ticket.

It was.

You should have come to me.

Spoiler, sometimes music is in movies.

Sometimes.

Sometimes people sing.

Yeah, and a lot of these, though, they're not musicals, which is like, so if you're like, I'm an opposite of a spoiler, but I just don't want to listen to this because I don't like musicals.
