There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. That's when the cannibalism started. Who's that? Got a tight face today. You ever have that? That's what you gotta do.
We used to do in acting school, we used to do tiny face. Big face. Tiny face. Big bass. It stretches you out, right? Yeah, it gets you gaped.
Ready to perform. That's what I need.
From the neck up. From the bottom down, tight as hell. Yeah, you are. Right now, I'm holding my butthole together. Just for the sake of making sure my organs know to stay up. Stay up. Yep, because apparently if not, they'll just slide right out of you. If you forget. Yeah. Even for a fucking second.

But that was just because it was true.
He's the Quentin Tarantino of musical theater. Musical theater. Musical theater.
