Episode 41 - Musical; Theater with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber

[JulyDiaz 2797]

Welcome to "Musical; Theater", a discussion of all things musical and theatrical! Join your host, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, and his protege, Comedy Bang! Bang! intern Gino Lambardo, as they tell the story of how Gino became the out-of-town director of "School Of Rock," dissect the genre of Billy Joel, and answer your burning Twitter questions about Broadway.

What in the beautiful fuck is this? I was about to go to bed but now I'm going to program some more and listen to this until I answer my own question.

 

EDIT: 9 minutes in, and I didn't realize how much I needed this until just now as it's happening to me. More edits to follow.

 

EDIT 2: This has all been hilarious so far and I still can't believe this is a thing, but I only came back to say that I'm pretty sure Gino is right about North, Central and South America.

 

EDIT 3: The idea of a narcissist who can't even imagine history without them there, and always eating the food of the time, is a hilarious and actually thoughtful concept because I swear I know some people who are probably actually that narcissistic.

 

EDIT 4, PROBABLY FINAL: It's crazy how good the chemistry is between these two; whoever decided to make this a podcast deserves a firm pat on the back.

What what what what yes yes yes yes

[Bernard_Shakey 3484]

So happy for this! Also jeez Gino is rail thin.

[Royboy 430]

I will sell a human soul for another episode of this down the road with Don DiMello.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

WHAT'S THIS NOW?!

[Where Dem Elephant Bones 363]

So happy for this! Also jeez Gino is rail thin.

 

I think the politically correct term is perilously thin.

[Quasar Sniffer 4174]

Earwolf is like a benevolent gift-giving spirit, dressed like Paul F. Tomkins and with a stylish mustache.

THEY DID IT

 

NOW WHEN WILL THEY GET LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA ON THE SHOW

[FaceLikeThunder 2114]

Sweet reeses JESES pieces this made my day

 

[FaceLikeThunder 2114]

Gino's answer to his favourite genre made me LOL

[Xandar1977 421]

And a wonderful morning to you too, Earwolf.com

[KatieSatterfield 120]

PFT talking about Bob Dylan's weird lay lady lady voice made my entire day.

[Xandar1977 421]

Ugh. I run a shipping store, and the conversation about the state abbreviations was making me lose my mind. I kept wanting to yell "NO! WRONG!"

[mattman92ish 823]

Lost my shit when they talked about Snarf and the Thunder Cats. A fantastic podcast!

[Xandar1977 421]

[AlbinLundholm 4020]

Central America isn't one of the 7th continents so Gino's right about Mexico, it's North America

[klemjohansen 748]

In National Lampoon, Christie Brinkley was dead the whole time. Watch it again. It's unmistakable.

[Kickpuncher 5012]

Every time I hear PFT doing ALW, it takes me a solid 15 minutes to settle into a groove where I'm not laughing at every single thing he says just because of the voice and his various overly formal turns of phrase. Am I crazy or did he actually call Gino "Ginosephat" at one point?

 

I hope this is an ongoing podcastule endeavor, but even if there's only one more episode, I really want it to be the platform for the Hamilton challenge that Paul has agreed to do with Benny Schwaz.

[darkesword 83]

Delightful. Please make this, at the very least, a monthly podcast.

[Joe Lerini 7329]

"Brick" was Ben Folds Five. Sorry, that's bugging me right now.

 

Great show, though. I really enjoyed Gino stumbling upon the concept of the comic book "Maus" entirely by accident.

[e_over_m 179]

Thanks to ALW* for reminding all listeners about the importance of foreplay!

 

*And to PFT, for no particular reason.

[JacobLyu 4]

So great. Please make more

[KatherineIsOdd 486]

I enjoyed this muchly. I love PFT's ALW. I found the part about how countries seem to be all one culture from the outside, but reveal many identities within as you know more about them, to be surprisingly insightful.

[Royboy 430]

"Brick" was Ben Folds Five. Sorry, that's bugging me right now.

 

And thanks to Lauren Lapkus' episode of "The Characters", I'll never think of that song the same way ever again.
