Chapter 1: What crazy situation did Will experience with his roof?
as always playdate is brought to you by triple the original high seltzer redefining the party landscape you looked really good today i like you you got like a lumberjack vibe going thank you i was thinking about um chopping down to cherry tree Also... Where the hell's Cherry Tree? Yeah, I've never seen one. I always pictured them as more of a bushel. Yeah, or a bush. This is kind of funny.
It's pouring rain on our heads right now, and we never get rainier. The roof above us for the... Actually, both audio and visual listeners is like... It looks like Pilgrim's built it. It does not look watertight whatsoever, and it's not. Every time... Because it rarely rains here, so when it does...
I think we had a leak in here the other week.
Did we learn about a new leak? The landlord stopped by to fix it last time and somehow came to the conclusion that I must be the person that is in charge of leaks. You kind of have that. Yeah, that would be... I have the face of a guy who...
is doesn't know how to fix them but it's definitely like the guy you go to about the leaks and he was just like i think i told the story but his hands were just covered in like a color that i've never seen before and he was like roofs fixed
it doesn't feel like it's it doesn't feel like it's fixed and then he was like soaked in blood roof's fixed he has like a pair of antlers in his hand i found the problem it's like the whole head of a deer do you want to taxidermy this or can i take it all right hacked it off i remember in um when i was in high school i built
there you go bragging again there i go i built we did like you know you did like the spirit competition spirit week or whatever like the last day of the week i think i've mentioned this event before but like you would build we'd like decorate a wall for your year or whatever yeah with like a theme and one year our theme was like sparta also i was class president i would rig elections which is awesome
Or I would, I would go in and I'd be like, like rig your own elections. I would basically like, we would vote as a class on like what the theme was going to be. Yeah. And so like people would submit them and then I, I would, but I would be the one who would go around to each homeroom and gather the results.
So I would go and I'd be like, all right, our two options are aliens or something. And Sparta, which would be really cool because then we can do this.

Chapter 2: What is Watermelon Gate and why is it significant?
This was senior year of high school. And I walked out and just the whole... I didn't tell any of my friends I was doing the play.
they had found out and like the whole front row was like my 18 boys just like had like gotten there early and secured the front run and so that like threw me off and I forgot it for a second because they're all just like like filming and I forgot it for like a millisecond and then I got into it but I can't really sing so it was like The distracting part wasn't that I forgot the first lyric.
It was that I wasn't good at singing. So it softened the blow. Also, no one was expecting a home run. The kid who was supposed to be the dad dropped out.
okay and our theater teacher no i wasn't an understudy our theater teacher was like i will give you an a if you be the dad oh that's a no brain and she was like you don't have to come to any of the rehearsals which like is why i didn't know the yeah because i was just like reading it and then i went to like one rehearsal you had a book did you have like i had the playbook your character just walked out with it
no no i knew the things but i hadn't i'd only practiced it with the people like once i was doing it with like myself in the mirror got it um and yeah that is a no-brainer as a senior i was like i don't want to do this yeah class i i remember going to my sister did a lot of high school theater um
And she went to, like, a huge high school.

Chapter 3: How did a high school tradition lead to controversy?
Like, these were some big shows we'd go to. It was awesome, actually. She was great. And we went one time to see her, and I forget what the musical was, but it was, like, I actually don't know if she was in this one, but it was at her high school.
It was, like, Piss Town or something. Like, this sounds like you're in town. Is that it? Can you Google that? But like, you're in town. You're pranking. No, I'm not doing a bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's crazy.
Wait, where?
It like was up. Just hit enter. On the keyboard.
Give me a break. What? I was getting confused.
Yeah, you're in town. I don't know what it was about.
I don't remember what it was about at all. But I remember being there. I was shocked. I thought this was going to be some sort of... And so I'm at Urinetown. Right.
And this mom comes in with her little kids. I forgot about that. I like remembering. Sometimes this podcast, as I dig through the well of stories, I provoke ones I didn't. Anyway, this mom comes in with her little kids and they sit next to us. And the mom's like, the banner drops down and they're like, welcome to Urinetown. And there's like piss decorations and shit.
And she's like, this guy's like, yeah. And she's with her two, like, little kids. Yeah. And she goes, oh, my God. She goes, my friend told me about this great high school musical. I thought it was high school musical.

Chapter 4: What funny theatre memories do the speakers share?
Uh, I don't want to step on your toes, but here's something I love about triple.
Chapter 5: What hilarious misunderstandings happened during a school play?
Chapter 6: Which cities do the speakers consider their favorites?
Like, I remember like being in Spanish class and they were like, came in and they got all the football players that were in our class and they like took them one by one and like interrogated them. So then that was like, they didn't have any, they weren't doing this with any malice. It was, no, it was like a bad, it was like a, it was like, like you could understand why it looked really bad.
Yeah.
But I also knew the kids were doing it and I knew that they didn't even, they hadn't even thought of that.
until it was raised like we were like 15 I don't know like I honestly didn't even really know that like trope but anyway they good word yeah but anyway they uh they so then the the pushback like they they were so over the top and like immediately find the coach interrogating these kids without parental permission which is like a legal issue that it flipped back the other way and then the superintendent of it was on the front page of CNN and then the superintendent of the school district got fired and the coach got reinstated
It's like an episode of One Tree Hill. It was insane. But it was literally the biggest talk. It was on CNN?
Yeah, it was on the homepage of CNN.
Were they like, fuck these kids? It was just reporting on the... No, no, they weren't. I mean, it wasn't like a... That would, if you don't know that that's a tradition, though, that looks... Looks horrible. But it's also like, that's such a stretch, because it's like, that doesn't even really... Like, that doesn't even really make sense.
You would have to do mental gymnastics to, like, get to the point of, like, that's bad. It was just crazy because they had, like, a whole, like, trial that was, like... They were, like... It was, like, in the news. Like, they had this whole investigation and, like, trial where people spoke. Anyway, it was a big... Big drama. I think the only... Magnet.
The only time our school got on CNN was every two years we would do a TEDx event. Okay. Like TED Talks. And some kid had like the brilliant idea... Because you have to... If you're a junior or senior, you have to sit through them all day. And they were just like, that's going to be a nightmare. And so they made weed brownies and they were giving them out.
