that I would follow. 435 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:58,000 I'm obsessed with shows and music and singers and Eagles. 436 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:10,000 So that's kind of the wild thing if you think about it, that we would go to you to, at the time, it was a big deal and it was a hassle to try to print out sheet music. 437 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,000 You couldn't not get access to sheet music easily. 438 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,000 And you had somehow all the ins and all the ways to get this sheet music to musicals that you just couldn't get. 439 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:28,000 So we would always be contacting you to do this for us and do it like within an hour because we procrastinate it and do it fast. 440 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000 And we have an audition right now and we need this music. 441 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:31,000 Yes. 442 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000 And also, can you fix our car because our tires fell off and the engine blew out and I need you to fix the car and wash

Andrew, who is just as into musical theater as he is sports. 450 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,000 Yeah, yes. 451 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,000 Terrific voice. 452 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:14,000 Andrew, he doesn't have your knowledge of musical theater, but he was an actor and a singer and the number one thing we like to do is go see musicals. 453 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000 That's his favorite thing to do. 454 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:24,000 And also watch the Eagles and sports and soccer and and I didn't realize it until I met him and I was like, oh, yeah, dad, dad likes that too. 455 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000 You don't need therapy. 456 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000 Dad's even laughing with his. 457 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 Yeah, yeah, don't hurt your voice. 458 00:24:34,000 -->

00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:45,000 So we are going to switch gears that we can all kind of tune into because I thought this I found this on the website. 463 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,000 I thought this I found this online and I thought it was kind of fun and kind of ridiculous. 464 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,000 There is etiquette. 465 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:58,000 If you are not a theater goer or any theater regional theater community theater Broadway doesn't matter. 466 00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000 And you are an audience member. 467 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:05,000 It's definitely shifted over the years how how to represent yourself as an audience member and go to the theater. 468 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:10,000 But there is a certain etiquette and apparently we all need to know this stuff. 469 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000 Okay. 470 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:19,000 To me it's common sense, but there are many, many, many articles out there letting people know how to go to a show. 471 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,000 Believe it or not. 472 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Isn't that funny? 473 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000 Yeah. 474 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,000 Thank you. 475

00:25:35,000 It said. 483 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:42,000 Can you imagine how many times somebody looked out to eat a meal for that to be a part of it? 484 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000 No. 485 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Well, Carly took me for my birthday. 486 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000 We all went down the kids to see Wicked. 487 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:55,000 There were people on either side that had for their kids like tray dinners. 488 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,000 I don't know where they bought them. 489 00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,000 What? 490 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:58,000 Yeah. 491 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:59,000 So maybe it's for that. 492 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000 I couldn't believe that. 493 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,000 That's so weird. 494 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,000 I know. 495 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000 Cover your mouth. 496 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,000 If you're going to cough or sneeze. 497 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000 What? 498 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000 It says cover your mouth. 499 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Unwrap the candy before the show starts. 500 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,000 That is annoying. 501 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000 That is the worst. 502 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:20,000 Also, don't be, and I'm quoting this, a mismanage. 503 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:24,000 So if you don't like something somebody else is doing while watching the show, don't shush 504 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000 them and hum them and huff and puff because it's just as bad apparently. 505 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:29,000 Yeah, it sure is. 506 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,000 Well, so Andrew was doing that the other day. 507 00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:37,000 He kept turning around when we were at the show because we were at a show that yes, I 508 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,000 think they want you to sing along, but they also like sing it differently. 509 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,000 So we want to listen because it's not the exact version of the temptations. 510 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000 So there was a group behind us that was singing every single song and Andrew kept turning 511 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000 around and I'm like, just stop. 512 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000 They're not going to stop. 513 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000 So you turning around isn't going to do anything. 514 00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,000 Yeah. 515 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,000 It's annoying me. 516 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,000 Well, the next two is no talking and then no singing. 517 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000 That's a hard one though. 518 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:07,000 Is it? 519 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:11,000 Because some people, you know, like Mamma Mia, they want you to sing. 520 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,000 Temptations a little bit, they want you to sing. 521 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000 Look at what's it called? 522 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,000 Jersey Boys. 523 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 I don't think they want you to sing. 524 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000 I think they want you to enjoy it. 525 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000 Maybe Sway Side to Side. 526 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,000 Nobody says your turn. 527 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000 Please join in. 528 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000 That's absurd. 529 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,000 I'm going to say something. 530 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,000 Let me tell you something. 531 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:31,000 Do you know when that started? 532 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:32,000 What? 533 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,000 Rocky Horror Shows. 534 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Oh, oh yeah. 535 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:40,000 Way back at the Rocky Horror Shows, I went in South Philadelphia to see the show and 536 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000 I didn't know what to expect. 537 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,000 A friend of mine took me, sang with the church, John. 538 00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:51,000 It's always fun to go to Rocky Horror with the church. 539 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000 Yeah, exactly. 540 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Well, I mean, very eclectic and open-minded. 541 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000 So we went and he had been before. 542 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000 So he said, get a load of this. 543 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000 We sat three rows behind the front row. 544 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000 I'm just going to watch the movie. 545 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:09,000 It's a movie, right? 546 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:13,000 And these people got up dressed as the characters. 547 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000 They said the line before the line. 548 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:18,000 There's only one person I know that says the line before the line. 549 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,000 That's your brother. 550 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Yes. 551 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,000 And that's also annoying. 552 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000 For Indiana Jones only. 553 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,000 And they got up, they acted it out. 554 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,000 I went, well, some people go because they're as entertaining as the movie. 555 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,000 But in a normal show, I paid to hear those people perform. 556 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000 Right. 557 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:37,000 Right, yeah. 558 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,000 Well, here's a side note on the Rocky Horror. 559 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000 So if you don't really know Rocky Horror, first of all, watch it. 560 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000 It's interesting. 561 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000 Second of all, what would happen is you would go to the theater, movie theater, movie theater, 562 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:54,000 to watch the show, and it was an interactive experience, which is what you're talking about. 563 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:55,000 Right. 564 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,000 And you would bring, mom said you would bring a piece of bread for a reason. 565 00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000 And you would get wet. 566 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000 People would spray stuff. 567 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000 With water guns. 568 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000 Yep. 569 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:06,000 And so it was like this whole thing and the yelling out and that everything would happen. 570 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:10,000 And it was, if you were going to Rocky Horror, though, you knew you were going to experience that to a degree. 571 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Exactly. 572 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000 Except if you're me. 573 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000 Yes. 574 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:14,000 Except if you're you. 575 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,000 Well, we went to. 576 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000 Oh my God. 577 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000 A Rocky Horror drag show. 578 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,000 And that was the theme. 579 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:23,000 It was Rocky Horror. 580 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,000 And so mom was with us and we went. 581 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:32,000 And she kind of, I guess, just went back in time and thought it was an interactive thing. 582 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000 So they're, they're reenacting the movie while it's playing behind them and they were dressed 583 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000 in the characters and it was awesome. 584 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,000 But she's at one part and then you do this during the show, during the movie and she's 585 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:48,000 going, asshole, asshole. 586 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:51,000 And no one else did it. 587 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,000 We left. 588 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000 We were like, we got to go. 589 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000 We got to go right now. 590 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,000 Yes. 591 00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:01,000 I remember that because it is everybody that she used to go at midnight in New York. 592 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Dad, how did your church friends like the song I'm a transvestite? 593 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000 How did they enjoy that song? 594 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000 It wasn't a problem. 595 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,000 Okay, great. 596 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000 I like your church. 597 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000 Very, very open minded. 598 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Okay. 599 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000 I'm just a sweet train. 600 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,000 Oh yeah, dad. 601 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:19,000 No sleeping. 602 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:24,000 Do not sleep at a show, especially if you're in the first couple of rows. 603 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000 Don't do it. 604 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000 Yeah, I don't do that. 605 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,000 Carmella. 606 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,000 Oh my, she can sleep anywhere. 607 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:30,000 Here's one. 608 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000 Don't give in to peer pressure. 609 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:37,000 You do not have to stand up for an ovation if you don't want to. 610 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000 Apparently there's, I always stand up. 611 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:42,000 I always stand up. 612 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000 But you do not have to if you don't want to. 613 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000 I don't know who wrote this article, but there you go. 614 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000 I always stand up. 615 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000 That's hard. 616 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:52,000 And mostly because I know how hard they just worked. 617 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000 Well, yeah, yeah. 618 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000 Yes. 619 00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000 Come clean. 620 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Don't come from the gym. 621 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Yeah, don't do that. 622 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:01,000 Don't be sweaty and smelly. 623 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:02,000 No, I am. 624 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:05,000 That's a thing except I would teach three hours of classes. 625 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,000 And then go see a show. 626 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000 See a show. 627 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000 So that was for me. 628 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 Stop whooping. 629 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000 I wooing. 630 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000 I wooed a couple of times during A2 Proud. 631 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,000 I did too. 632 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:16,000 I did too. 633 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,000 Woo-hoo. 634 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Yeah, just like that. 635 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,000 Yeah. 636 00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,000 I wanted them to know I appreciated their hard work. 637 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000 Yeah, apparently that's a no. 638 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:25,000 That's a no-no. 639 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,000 That's a woo for me. 640 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:28,000 A boo. 641 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000 That's a boo for you. 642 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000 That's a boo-woo. 643 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:35,000 And then the last one, no photos, which every theater attendee will tell you. 644 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:43,000 Yes, actually went to a comedy show last night where they said no photos, no pictures. 645 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:48,000 The comedian will do his thing and at the end of the show, he will stand and wave and you 646 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 can all stand up and take pictures of him. 647 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000 So at the end of the comedy show, he was like, thank you. 648 00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,000 And then he stood there and he waved and he waved to this side and he waved to this side. 649 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000 And that's when you were allowed to take a picture and then he left stage. 650 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,000 That's not a bad idea. 651 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 Like after Bowls for a theater show. 652 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,000 Yeah. 653 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000 And then you can get your phone out and take pictures because right now we're in a world 654 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000 where everybody wants to remember everything and we have horrible memories because of these 655 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,000 pictures and cameras. 656 00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:16,000 But taking a picture is just like, it's kind of second nature now. 657 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,000 So if they allow that after Bowls, that would be awesome. 658 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,000 You have a bad memory. 659 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:23,000 That's why you want to take a picture. 660 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,000 I want to post to show everybody where it was. 661 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Very different. 662 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:31,000 Oh my God, I don't even know how to respond to that. 663 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000 I don't even know what to do. 664 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:34,000 Dad laugh. 665 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000 Well, no, I laugh because it's just too true. 666 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,000 And it just reminds me of every school show. 667 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:46,000 I have so many students that, you know, they're the leads in these high school shows and over 668 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:52,000 the speaker system, you always hear the announcement, please, this is a copyrighted show. 669 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000 No pictures or videos during the show. 670 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:00,000 You know that every mother and father sitting there going, absolutely. 671 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000 That's my boy up there. 672 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000 That's my daughter. 673 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:09,000 Dad teaches from age four, what is your preschool kids? 674 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,000 Pre-school. 675 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Four to college. 676 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Now you teach older. 677 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000 Don't you teach older than college? 678 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,000 I have adults. 679 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000 I teach master students. 680 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,000 Yeah. 681 00:33:18,000 -->
