Interview with playwright Megan Brown, plus news roundup and game

Welcome to the Sarcastic News Show. My name is Meg Ryan, and I am glad to be here. My name is Justin Cross. My name's not Meg Ryan or Ellen DeGeneres or Anne Heche or Clay Aiken or Ryan Seacrest on a manly day, okay? All right. My name's Justin Cross. I'm here with an all-star crew, including, as always, as every week he is on this show, Matt Sugar Mills joins us. Sugar, how are you doing? Oh, wait, I'm sorry. Matt Sugar Mills is not in house right now. He died. Kidding. Kidding. Kidding. Kidding. No, he's not dead. No, he's with his family. He may call in, though. We may get Matt Sugar Mills. I'm also here with Jake the Snake Craney, as usual. I want to just, I like the energy in the room tonight, even though there's three of us. I want to go out on a limb, as I'm known to do. I really, really think that this could be one of our top 13 shows. Top Baker's Dozen. That's true. That's true. Wait, Baker's 13? Yes. That's the E. Isn't Baker's Dozen 12? No. Oh, is that? That's the regular dozen. Oh! Oh! Wow. Okay. Yep. You're going to be hosting the show tonight, okay, Snake? I'm going to be over here. But after you're done with your Cheetos, that is. Yeah. That's good stuff. You're really eating Cheetos. This is a professional show. I'm finishing them up. I'll be done soon. People are getting the audio of you, like, digesting right now. They really are. We don't have Matt for, you know, sound effects, so maybe that's okay. Right. I'm just glad there's no smell through the internet. Yeah, I know. I think everybody is, actually. And across, that was, if you didn't hear, that was the voice of our newest member of the SN crew. Better than Ezzy Hussain. Nice to be here. Nice to be here, too. Can we hear? Is she? Yeah, I can't hear you. Yeah. Oh, your thing's not on. Turn your mic on. Wow. Wow. The man with the Cheetos is telling you. All right. Well, uh. There you go. Can you hear me now? We can hear you. Wow. Amateur move. Sorry, guys. Not at all. Not at all. That's how we do it. Time to recover. I'm just going to give you icy glares throughout the show, all right? On tonight's show, we are glad. We have a great guest for you. Author and playwright Megan Brown will be joining us. Megan Brown. She's got a new play coming out here in Los Angeles. Ezzy, what is, what's the new play called? The Fire Room. The Fire Room. Yeah, it's actually, it's getting a lot of positive reviews, and she's got a book coming out soon, so yeah, she's got a lot of projects and works very talentedly. And she's been featured in the Huffington Post, I think, as well. Yes. Yeah. So Megan Brown, author and playwright. We'll be joining us. We begin tonight, though, with America's symbolic gesture to Russia to reduce nuclear arms. Actually, in Berlin, President Obama announced, quote, after a comprehensive review, I have determined that we can ensure the safety of America and our allies and maintain a strong and strategic deterrent while reducing our deployed strategic nuclear weapons by one third. Breaking down President Obama's statement, UMass Amherst hyperbole. John Verrace said that what Obama was really saying was that at the end of the day, America would love to cut down on its unused and grossly unnecessary mass killing toys, but still wants to make sure that people understand that we definitively have the biggest dick in the room. That's cutting through the crap right there. That's hyperbole expert from UMass Amherst, John Verrace, right there. And this past week, also in, well, somewhat international news. Well, definitely international. I don't know who it is this past week. Iran elected moderate President Hassan Rouhani to replace outgoing President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Rouhani is considered moderate due to his openness to talks with the U.S., his support of the Green Revolution, which, if you don't know, opposed the clear fraudulence of the last Iranian election. And also, he's considered moderate because of his passionate belief that women are not third, but second-class citizens. That's right, women of Iran. Okay? That's right. That's right. Because I know you're listening right now, okay? I'm sure you're listening right now in Iran, especially if you're, because this is, this is actually big radio in Iran. But just be prepared, women of Iran. You will still not have a say. But at least it'll be better. That glass ceiling, in a way, is getting lowered. We'll send Hillary Clinton your way after she's done in 2024. And also this past week, big news. The men's warehouse affirmed that they did not like. The way that founder and chairman George Zimmer looks. They did not like the looks. Nope. And they guarantee that. Now, while no clear reasons were given for the firing, it's believed that Zimmer's presence through commercials was like a guy who dresses up as Santa Claus for no exact reason in the month of July. Pretty much creepy is the point. Now, Zimmer's future holds no bounds, folks. No bounds at all. In a statement, Zimmer told CNBC that his possible options include pandering on national billboards, and that he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. And that's why he's not going to be able to do that. leading pro-marijuana efforts, that's actually a true story, and playing the annoying rich Jewish guy who looks like a bearded Robert De Niro at parties. I'm sure that's all going to work out great, I guarantee it. And also happening earlier this week, Marissa Powell, a.k.a. Miss Utah, fumbled a question regarding the disparity in income between men and women in the workforce. While the national media was quick to jump on the embarrassment of her response, they may have neglected to report that the simple basis behind holding an antiquated contest targeted to a largely male audience where women literally parade around in bikinis may or may not have something to do with the fact that there is a disparity in income between men and women. Oh, and by the way, I don't know if you caught the snake, Miss Ohio was by far the hottest. She got robbed. And finally, tonight is Game 7. As you guys may know, I'm not going to tune into Game 7 of the NBA Finals. I'm tuning in. This is the sarcastic news show. I want to hear that girl that I can't hear and the dude eating Cheetos. Hey, turn my mic on. We're supposed to be the crack squad. We're the best of the best. We showed up. We're alive. The entire world, though, let's be honest, the entire world, especially my favorite country, Zimbabwe, they are going to be tuning into the NBA Finals to watch the drama unfold. And it is drama. Who is going to win the NBA title? That's on the line tonight. Game 7, that's on the line. We also have the status of LeBron James' headband, you know? Like, how much receding hairline are we going to see? That's really what we want to know. And finally, we want to know about tonight's game between the Heat and the Spurs. Hey, that coach for the Spurs, Greg Popovich, is he going to be on grumpy old men for? We don't know. He should be. Stay tuned to the game. But also listen in. Put the game on mute, basically, and listen to the sarcastic news show. By the way, I'm also told that Miami Heat fans will be finishing up happy hour early on the beach tonight, on South Beach, so that they can make it to the arena just right after halftime. So we will, by the way, we will be joined by sarcastic news contributor Michael Lorenzo Porter. He's in a remote location tonight via satellite. Kind of like how Anderson Cooper goes to, like, Mississippi or, you know, like Hurricane Katrina or overseas. Like, Porter goes to New York to, like, hook. Hook up with chicks and, like, buy drugs. Same thing. He's like Anderson Cooper in a way. But we've got that coming up for you guys. And also, before we get going, before we go to commercial break, Esi, Esi, Esi. You know me really well. Really trustworthy. I used to have a landlord named Esi. And it's only two letters away. Anyway, so, Esi, you have our sarcastic news gut reaction survey question of the night. Is that correct? What is that for our listeners? So, you touched on it during, you know, your opening. Everybody has by now heard about what happened with Marissa Powell, you know, the Miss Utah and the pageant. Yeah. But what I'm kind of, like, taken aback by is this isn't just, like, satire by, like, you know, TMZ or whatever. It's established news organizations that are virtually making fun of her. Yes. So, you know, it's People Magazine. It's, you know, Los Angeles Times. It's everybody that's, like, CNN. So, is the media's treatment of what, you know, happened to her of Miss Utah considered bullying? Yes. Is it the same thing that where you have, you know, famous people coming out to speak against? You talk about the fact that you shouldn't be negatively, you know, speaking about each other or taking each other down. Yeah. And there's this huge recent, like, popular thing amongst celebrities especially to speak against bullying. Yeah. So, what kind of message are you sending out to kids when sometimes you're saying it's not okay to bully and it's not okay to take advantage of somebody, but at the same time it's absolutely okay to bully? So, I just want to know. Is the media's reaction? Is the media's reaction to what happened with Miss Utah considered bullying? Is the media's reaction to what happened with Miss Utah considered bullying? Yeah. All right. That's the sarcastic news gut reaction snap survey question. We are small, but we are powerful tonight. We're missing some of our – we had a huge, huge group last week. But we got Jake the Snake Cranny coming up with – what's our game coming up, Snake? It is the Who Said It game of quotes. Can't wait for that. It's going to be a real thriller. That's great. And weigh in on the poll question. Again, is it bullying to beat up on Miss Utah for her fumbling of the question this past week on the whatever it was?

Was that A, Bill Maher, B, 2010 Miss Oregon Stephanie Steers, or C, Whoopi Goldberg? Whoopi Goldberg. Nezzy? I'm going to go with the pageant theme of the night, and I'm going to say the second. Okay. I got an idea. What? You want to do something like a little- No, no, no, no, no. Yeah, we got to make a wager. Do I get your boxers? Since you and I- Oh, no, no. There is a prize tonight. I don't know if I should break it out now. What's the prize? The prize is this eight-ounce Bud Light Lime Lime-erita. Oh, nice. Which has been in my backpack for quite some time. It's very lukewarm, but the winner has to drink this on the air. Yeah, the Lime-erita. Do you want to add something on top of that, or are you good with the lukewarm- I like the boxers idea. Okay, deal. Nezzy, that's a horrible deal for you. I also don't wear boxers, so. Okay. Well, let's do this. Let's do this. Loser has to buy the other one a drink. At seven grand, one of our real sponsors. One of our key sponsors. One of our key sponsors next door. Loser- I do like drinking, so. Okay, well, good. We got the Lime-erita, and we have- All right, we're just going to cab it home tonight. Excellent. Okay. All right. And before we move on, do you want me to give the answer to number one, or do you want me to just go through the whole thing first? How many questions do we have? Five. There's five questions. All right, let's go each question. Give me the answer. Okay, so the correct answer for that one- Wait, did you choose? Yes, she did. Yeah, dude. I don't really view communism as a- Bad thing. One of you got it correct. It was Whoopi Goldberg. Damn it. That's right. Why did you look in my direction, acting like I got it right? Get ready to wear my boxers. Cross up one-nothing. All right, feel free to play along at home, too. Quote number two. Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant. Sorry, I'm just playing around with it. Matt's not here tonight, so I'm playing around. All right. Was that A, Bill Maher? B, Julia? C, Julia Roberts? Or C, Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Bill Maher. I'm going to go with Bill Maher. Julia Louis-Dreyfus. All right. Correct answer, Julia Roberts. Come on. Oh, okay, good. Thank God. I was ready to- No, nobody got that one correct. Julia Roberts. I was about to say the word conspiracy between the two of you. Are you a size 30? Quote number three. We can't all be twerks. Twinks? Twinks, there you go. Twerks. There you go. Quote number three. If ketchup had one twentieth of the carcinogens in a cigarette, they'd rip it off the shelves tomorrow, so the government is full of shit when they tell you they care about you. What was that? I miss Matt. It's the ah scream. Matt Sugar Mills, we miss you. Come on. Was that A, Bill Maher? B, Johnny Depp? Or C, Jon Stewart? I'm going to say Bill Maher. I'm going to say it again. You can't be wrong twice. You can't say Bill Maher again. Crossman? I'm going to cock-bock you. I'm going to go Bill Maher. You can't. He can't say my answer. Yeah, he absolutely can't. Oh. All right. You both answered A, Bill Maher, and you are both correct. That is Bill Maher. That's all right. So that's what? Two-one? That is two-to-one cross with two questions to go. All right. All right. Quote number four. I get to go overseas places like Canada. Was that A? It's got to be a pretty girl. Was that A? It has to be somebody attractive. Was that A, Britney Spears? Ooh. B, Paris Hilton? Or C, George W. Bush? Paris Hilton. Britney Spears. Both blonde. They might be the same person. I'm going to go Britney Spears. That's a trick question. They're the same person. Correct answer. Britney Spears. Justin Cross, you're up three-to-one. Unbelievable. I really, I'm getting angry now. White people all look the same to me, so I don't know. By the way, this applause goes for another 23 seconds, guys. All right. So out of formality and for the people playing at home, we will finish the game with quote number five. Solutions are not the answer. Was that A, George W. Bush? B, Richard Nixon? Or C, Ronald Reagan? Solutions are not the answer. George W. Bush. Can you say the answer choices again, please? George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan. Nixon was a crook, but he wasn't stupid. George Bush. Both answers. Answered George W. Bush. Both incorrect. Really? Correct answer, Richard Nixon. Really? So he's a crook and stupid. Justin Cross. Justin Cross, I'm really, I'm pleased to present you with this Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. That means everything, Jake. That means everything. I get to drink it on air? You absolutely have to drink it on air, yes. Oh, well, I should have lost then. That's in the sponsor agreement. Wow, that was great. Well, that was... That was... What are we calling that game, Snake? Who said it? Who said it? That's Who Said It, Jake the Snake Craney, everybody. We will be right back on the Sarcastic News Show, guys. Call on 800-893-9562. Weigh in on our poll question. Nobody's weighed in on it yet. Are we beating up on Miss Utah? Is the media beating up? Not us, but is... We're not the media. But is the media beating up on Miss Utah? We're going to weigh in. We're going to talk about that on our Ring of Fire here. And we want you guys to call in. Weigh in on that poll question. You can also Twitter.com slash SarcasticNews1 and Facebook.com slash SarcasticNews1 as well. We're answering your tweets and your Facebooks. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. Okay. Okay. Or are they just appeasing the majority to save the party? I mean, the majority being obviously the population of the country overall. What do you guys think? I mean, do you think that they, or does it even matter at this point? That was my comment, basically, is that I think they might not be at all too sincere. They might be trying to just play to the constituents, play to the public. But at the same time, I'm totally fine with that because that's, you know, what I think everybody at this table would feel like is a common sense move that is good for everybody. So I think that whether the intentions behind it are truthful or not, it's going to be good either way. So it doesn't really faze me either way. What are your thoughts, Ezzie? I agree, and I wanted to add to that, that I think it's fair to say that anytime you have such a substantial change in overall majority's opinion, like, you know, post-segregation, post-women's, rights, anything that we've done that's, you know, digressing massively from a previous agreed-upon, you know, stance is going to start with people first not having sincere motivations. It always starts like that. So I think in this case, if the Republican Party isn't like, you know, like Snake said, if they're not motivated by sincerity, I'm okay with that. It's still signaling moving in the right direction overall. I'm just impressed you go, you know, like Snake said over there. Instead of Jake? No, no, yeah. Like Congressman Snake. Right, right. You have that floor. That's actually going to be something I want to quote over and over again. Like my peer constituent said, Snake. My esteemed colleague, Snake. Snake. After his Cheeto binge. If you ever run for a political office, I beg of you to go by Snake. Oh, absolutely. I want to see people with those things that you stick in your lawn that say. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll just become a symbol, like a coiled snake. Yeah. And I want to ask you guys lastly, Robin Thicke. Yes. Oh, yeah. I just realized, I didn't write this one. But Robin Thicke is the son, I guess, of Alan Thicke. Yeah. Growing pains. Growing pains. And he's an R&B artist. So he came out with a song called, what was it? I have to look it up. It's like The Line or something like that. Blurred Lines. Blurred Lines. Yeah, I've been calling it The Rapey Song. Right. Well, yeah. So that's what a lot of people are calling it. Like The Rapey Song. It's a little rapey. Right. And bloggers have been going crazy. It's a word. It's a word. It's a word. It's a little rapey. It is a little rapey. That's an apt description for it. But they're all married. Because it's like him and then... Yep, Pharrell and T.I. And they're all married. Yeah, you can still be rapey. No. You don't have to go through with the per se rape. But you can be rapey. What do you think? Is it just... But you guys, I mean, you guys both have done stand-up before. I know, Ezzy, you did stand-up for a while. Like, you know, that comes up a lot in comedy, right? Like it's something over the line. Where's the line? Right. Whether it's a gay joke, whether it's a rape joke, whatever the case is. Right. Where's the line on it? And does that really count as... I mean, she's like, does it count? But does it really... Should we be up in arms? I mean, is it a good thing that we kind of watch after ourselves when it comes to this stuff? Or is it just the creative freedom and expression of comedy and music? Ezzy, you go first on this one. I want to hear your thoughts. So that's the thing. Like, I actually really... Like, when I first heard about this song, I hadn't heard it. You know, and I watched a little bit snippets of the previews of it. And I can see both sides of it. And I have to say that I think it's actually hurtful. It's hurting the overall feminist agenda. Because I get that you're, you know, you're afraid of going... Digressing back to the days when guys said, no means yes. And they, you know, were sexually objectifying women. That's the uproar. Yeah. But it's a song. Yeah. Rap artists do this day in and day out. Movies add sex appeal to the most benign, boring movie. Right. So why do we decide... When we decide to do something like this, it makes people... It makes it part of the noise. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. Right. And if the song really is justifiably sexist, people are going to tune that out because they're just sick of us making such a big deal about everything that comes their way. Right. Right. I actually... I don't think this song's a huge deal. It is... It is walking a fine line because I think while it's... At all, it's meant to be ironic and shed some light on it because like you said, Justin, those three guys are all married and have no real history of being aggressive toward women at all. I think they wanted to make light of it a little bit. but at the same time and I say this as a true patriot there are a lot of stupid people out there that aren't going to get that so it's walking a fine line between being obvious and maybe not so obvious I lost my train of thought there you said you're a patriot he's a fan of the Patriots but what I was going to say is I think it's much things that are much worse are for example Kanye's new album because he's such an icon and he's one of the biggest names in music and 30 seconds into his new album he's talking about putting my dick in your mouth that's exact lyric it is that album is 40 minutes long and he says bitch and pussy 29 times hold on I'm just saying because this is Alan Thicke's son yes it is there's a lot of responsibility that comes from growing pains that's a legacy you're exactly right and it's funny because that's what kills me it happens all the time especially in R&B and rap why is this a weird thing I don't know that's our ring of fire guys we would be playing the Johnny Cash music but Matt Sugar Mills he's the only one who knows how to play soundbites Sugar we miss you we look forward to you being back next week but again we will be back in just a minute we are going to be coming back right here on the show we have a special guest a playwright here in town she's got a new show coming up Megan Brown will be joining us in just a minute here stay tuned with the Sarcastic News Show! Sarcastic News Show Keep running about And when you see the light Illuminate your eyes Monte Carlo You'll keep in your dreams Along with Horstly And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others And the others princes and kings And I know I can leave in the night Just a moment in time A moment in time Don't be scared of what you find in the night electric guitar solo And when you see the light The loom of nature And we're back on the Sarcastic News Show. My name is Justin Cross. I'm here with Jake the Synchrony and Ezi Hussein. Our next guest, she's the resident playwright for Fugitive Kind Theater here in L.A. She is also one of the headwriters, she is actually the head writer of Brevity TV and has a book of plays entitled This Is Happening Now coming out at the end of the summer through Montag Press. And she's also hard at work writing a horror play for cartel collaborative artists called Living Room Tour, which opens in September. Joining us tonight on the Sarcastic News Show is Megan Brown. Megan, how are you? I'm doing well. How are you guys? Thanks for having me. We are so delighted. And I have never met you before. I've heard amazing things about you. And I just want to open with this. I think this is a good icebreaker. I heard this past week you are going to be doing porn. Is that right? That is, yes. And that is definitely what I am. Definitely what I'm here to talk about is my upcoming porn career, which is where I'm announcing it. So surprise everybody. That's actually, we have a live studio audience that's very excited about that. There we go. If there was the anti-matter of Megan Brown, that's what that would be if that version existed in the universe. Telling you, this whole interview, Megan, just to let you know, this is us just setting ourselves up for jokes and sound bites, okay? She's terrified. So when you get a chance to just talk, plug the hell out of yourself. That's my recommendation. I will. I will definitely do that. Not the first time Justin Cross has said plug the hell out of yourself. Now, Megan, you are a very, very accomplished playwright. You are a very, very accomplished playwright. Here in Los Angeles, I know that you've been reviewed by the Huffington Post, among other publications. But this actually, was it last week? The Fire Room opened. Is that correct? Yeah. So we've got two more weekends coming up with The Fire Room. And it's part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival. So if anybody listening has been going to the Fringe shows, it's been really fun. There's 200 plays going on over a three-week period, all kind of within that theater row in Hollywood. And it's been really fun. The community is great. And our show is one of those 200 shows that we're trying to get some people in for the last two weekends. Hey, Megan, do you have two shows actually going on there? Or is it just the one? I do. I have two shows. I was a co-writer for one of the shows. There were nine of us, called The Miss Julie Dream Project. Nice. That's up at the three clubs. But then The Fire Room, I wrote the whole thing. And that's my theater company where I'm the resident playwright because a bunch of my friends from college, and they're all awesome. So, yeah, both plays are great. I will happily plug either of them. Well, tell us about The Fire Room real quick. Tell us, I mean, is it more of a serious play? Why should people, you know, like you said, there are lots of plays going on right now in the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Why should people come see The Fire Room? So just to kind of, totally it's sort of like a really dark comedy. Like there's some stuff that, like moments that are serious and moments that are funny. And it's, it's basically a love story with ghosts. I thought you were going to say a love story with chokeouts. Also that. So close. But yeah, so it's a bunch of dead people. So it's already starting off very uplifting, very funny. And yeah, sort of exploring, like it's a love story. It's basically like a contemporary woman and her basically boyfriend as a ghost is like an 1860s boiler room attendant. And then her, like hot ex-boyfriend from when she was alive. She was in a band. Wow. Dies. And then he comes. So then since he's dead now, he's like back in her afterlife. And it's sort of what happens when they're all, all together. About making good choices, like choosing between somebody who's like awful and toxic and terrible for you and somebody who's like good and awesome. But there's maybe not that same like bite and draw that people sometimes have. So toxic people. Megan, can I ask you, you mentioned it seemed a little bit like, you know, contrasting that you both were a comedic writer, like you're the head writer for Brevity, but at the same time you're doing this, that is a darker comedy. And do you have a preference when, you know, if you did have a choice in terms of what you would rather write and what is more intuitive to you, is it more comedy or is it more dramatic? And do you think that there is a distinction? I would say, I mean, oh, sorry. No, go ahead. I would just say, I mean, for me, like I think that, like the thing that comes out of me, like most naturally is more of a like really dark, kind of fucked up comedy. I kind of feel like the more, am I allowed to say that? Oh yeah. Did you hear, we counted 29 times that Kanye West said pussy. So you're in good company. Yeah. Megan, this is internet radio. It's you and all our moms. You're in the rat cage, Megan. But yeah, like I like, I kind of feel like, I am drawn to like, darker subjects. And I think that when you do that, you have to be like as dark and deep as you want to go. You need to balance that by getting funnier and funnier on the other end. Gotcha. So that it's not just like horrifically oppressive. Cause like you don't want to go somewhere and just be like bludgeoned with sadness for a while. You know, like that sounds horrible. I wouldn't want to do that either. So it's about kind of, you know, if you want to touch on something that's really kind of like dark and primal, like it better be dark. It better be really funny half the time because that's like the only way that, that, you know, message goes through. So what, what is your, what is your writing process? Like, like how, how long does it typically take you to start to finish, you know, create a play? Uh, my writing process is horrible. Like I will, like you can really, really, you should really go see her show. Um, like I am the, and I think like a lot of writers, I am like the worst procrastinator. I'm like the worst procrastinator of all time. Like I will come up with a million things to do. And then instead of right. And then at 11 PM, I'm like, all right, I got to get started and work till four in the morning. Um, it depends on the show. I mean, this show we originally did as a radio play at Elstead, um, through cartel, which is a really cool kind of, um, like art, artsy collective of awesome people. Um, and I had, I wrote it in about a month. Um, and this is a short play. Like it's only, it's only, it's only an hour fringe is only an hour, which is nice. Um, so this one I wrote actually pretty fast, but it was a completely horrible experience. I was up all night and I was like hysterical that it was like the worst thing I'd ever written. And like, what were we going to do? And it was terrible. And then it ended up really coming together. And it's probably my favorite project I've ever, ever written. That's awesome. Hands down. Um, can you make sure that, uh, let's, uh, reiterate, like if people want to go see it, they have two more weekends. Well, hold on real quick. I just, hold on. Hold on. This, this is way more important than as he's questioning. I just want to know, you're talking about being up all night and sort of creative genius. And, and everybody knows if you're a creative genius, you know, something fuels you, uh, mostly probably drugs. Um, what, what is your drug of choice? Megan? Is it, is it the Bud Light Lime Limerita? I am very, very drug free, very embarrassingly goody two shoes, drug free. And, uh, yeah, I mean, for me, it's just like, you get a good story. And then you get really kind of, you want to, you want to do it. Megan, can you just, we're on internet rate. Can you just say heroin? Okay. Just say heroin. Can you just say heroin?
