beach um mostly in nature but um i just got this, you know? I'm just so happy it wasn't COVID because I'm still in the phase where I'm so, I'm still, instantly think I have COVID and I took a test and I don't have it, but I just have a,

I have a little bit of a sore throat and I have this. Could it be from the water? No, it's just loogies, man. It's just a natural human cold. Is the beach really considered nature though absolutely when is the why is the beach not nature you're not a big i thought it would have to be forest to be nature you're not a big beach fan yourself i i know that about the beach you don't

like sand he doesn't you don't like sand i don't like sand that's fair is it because it's coarse and it gets everywhere you like to fish well that Is it because it's coarse and it gets everywhere? You like to fish. Well, that's one thing. It is coarse and it gets everywhere. You don't like to lie out. I don't. It's not that. It's not just the sand. It's the water also.

I like beaches where I can see in the water. I don't like beaches. And I grew up on the East Coast and the water's cold and you can't see into that motherfucker. Right. and the water's cold and you can't see into that motherfucker right and um that jaws movie when i was a kid did a number on me yeah my babysitter my dad gave the babysitter money and said take him to the movies yeah and she took me to see jaws and wow that is really and there are still shark attacks they still make movies that are real about shark attacks. And, you know, like people getting there, you know, getting bit and stuff like that.

So is that your reason for not liking the beach is that you're worried you're going to get eaten by a shark? Not eaten, but bit. Yeah, sure. Eaten, bit, same thing. I don't think you're going to get fully consumed. That scares me. eaten but bit yeah sure eaten bit same thing i don't think you're gonna get fully consumed that scares me also like the water is real weird and nasty now today's and i you know i heard about this thing that swims in the water and travels up the urethra that's you got to be in a certain

body of water on a certain point on the planet i don't think that's happening at this point isn't all the water isn't all the water starting to shift? And you know, that shit freaks me out now. I don't really know what you're talking about. You don't know about the parasite that goes through your urethra and kills you. No,

I haven't heard about things a little too much. Tick tock. Oh, it's on a tick tock thing. I don't know. I don't have a tick tock. I know about this shit because I know about this shit. No,

you probably know about it from Instagram reels then. No, I don't know about it from Instagram reels. I know about this shit because I know about this shit. No, you probably know about it from Instagram reels then. No, I don't know about it from Instagram reels. I've known about this shit for a real, real long time. Don't all of a sudden test my knowledge on this motherfucker. On the other side of things, I would like to say that I've been really, I've been loving the ocean this summer. I've always had a different fear of the ocean. Don't get a urethra attack.

Well, I'm going to put a, you know what I'm going to do is I'm going to put like a little, I'm going to put a band-aid over my tip. Do you think that'll prevent him from going in? You got to make it so it keeps it. There's so many urethras around. He's going to be like, that one's blocked. I'm going to try this one next door. Yeah, I'm going to go for that one instead. That's what you should do is just tape your shit closed.

I'm going to do that. That's the new horror movie. I need closed i'm gonna do that i need some horror movie i need i need i need tape that will withstand the ocean maybe some duct tape but that but that's the the crazy part that always got to me was how come it just goes through the urethra how come it doesn't go through like the ears there's so many other well it likes the urethra everyone everyone has listen if you ever watch uh these shows people are house hunting, everyone has a different vibe that they like. And this creature likes the vibe

of the urethra. That's good. Right? To each their own. I might like modern farmhouse. That thing likes urethra. Oh, my gosh. Anyway, my thing wasn't sharks. It was waves.

I had an incident when I was a kid, and I almost drowned. At least in my mind. I don't know if I really would have drowned. So my whole life, I've had a fear of waves. And this summer, I've really taken it on in smaller waves. I'm out in Malibu. I found a beach where the waves aren't huge. I'm trying things like taking some surf lessons.

That's so cool. Yeah, it's really been truly, it's going to sound stupid to a lot of people, but I have been tackling a fear in waves because ever since childhood, I got rocked once and then I came up and I got rocked again. And it was riptide. And I just remember thinking, like, I remember looking at the lifeguard. And he was like 100 yards away. I mean, the fact that there even was one was amazing.

But I had that thought that I'm sure other people listening have had were like, holy shit, is this it? Like, I got to fight. And I fought and I got out. But it scarred me, definitely. And I've been trying this many years later to tiptoe back. What did you do to get out? Did you swim on your back?

How did you? I think I just struggled and fought it. And there was a break in the set of waves because they just kept, every time I'd come back up, they were rocking down back on me. And I think I got that set of waves finished and I was able to catch my breath. Oh, wow. That's real, man. I mean, mean you know good for you for getting back out there that's awesome

yeah and it's and also surfing i've i've always you know when i think of surfing my brother served my whole life and lots of people that love it and swear by i always think of these big waves that we see on tv um not not the extreme not the extreme hundred foot waves like in the show, but like, you know, big waves that we see pros surfing. Like in Point Break, you think Point Break. Or just anything you've seen photographed. You know, a 6 foot, 10 foot tall wave, whatever.

It never occurred to me that, oh, there's, just like skiing, there's also a bunny slope. Like, you can go on a tiny wave with a pro. Yeah. And so that's what I've been doing out in Malibu is like, you know, you're on like a two, three foot wave and,

and the teachers, cause you know, launching you into it, you know, pushing you cause part of the hard part is catching it. And then he goes like, he goes, okay,

he goes like up and then that's for your cue to, to jump up. And then when you catch it and you get the, the balance and you ride it in, even if it's small, it's fun as hell. So I'm really stoked because it's definitely been a fear of mine for most of my life. And this summer, I've been taking it on.

Good for you, Zach. That's really awesome. Good for you. What's your soundtrack right now? What do you mean? I've been listening to Malibu. I've been listening to a lot of, you know i like this uh new um um boy genius this phoebe bridgers band genius rips yeah i like that their merch is great too is their merch good

it's very good we got merch y'all should go online and look at our merch we really phoned in our merch after after the initial excitement of having a podcast. We were told like, oh, podcast listeners love merch. So we got really into it. And then we fell off, Donald. We totally fell off. Like, when's the last time we put out a onesie? We should put out a, like out there right now, for real.

Like, that's a real good question. The onesie was a hit. And there are very few people that have that onesie out there they were people that wore the onesie to the live show that's right there were people that wore the onesie on on on australian television yeah shout out mitch and drew barrymore wore the onesie yes there was someone who wore a onesie on national tv and her name drew barrymore she's one of the select few out there if you have a onesie on national TV. And her name? Drew Barrymore.

She's one of the select few out there. If you have a onesie right now, you're one of the select few. We have other merch at the store. I'm going to say this right now. What? We're not restocking anytime soon. Go get you some merch. That merch is dusty. We got to reset that shit. That merch ain't dusty.

They keep that shit clean they got i'm not saying it's literally dusty i'm saying it's old like we need to come up with some new shit but you're not gonna do it and i'm not gonna do it so it's not gonna get done you know i'm sorry i dare somebody well we need to hire like uh in our next incarnation of the podcast in chapter two got it which is starting soon we need to hire like someone who's like really into like graphic design and can make cool merch because donald and i don't want to give it the thought our dream is that someone comes to us who's like a graphic designer is like and loves the show and is like look at this cool shirt i made and we're like that's awesome

you know we need to hire that person. Can I make one pitch? Of course, Don. It's your show. It's 50% your show. You can make 50% of a pitch. Go. Can somebody draw a shirt where we are Star Wars themed,

but we don't have to look like the Star Wars characters and not the Scrubs characters, but you know how they do it on pictures where it's like there's the big head, the little head, the guys off in the corner, the spaceship flying, you know, the freaking dude on the horse. You want us to have like a Star Wars style poster. Star Wars motif. Yeah. Okay. A Star Wars motif.

But I don't want us to be dressed like, I don't want to be fucking Han Solo or Lando Calrissian or some Jedi or some shit. You want the look of the classic Star Wars poster, but the four of us. Right. And maybe Bill in the background trying to break in. Bill's the largest figure in the back. And faded into the back, just his head. Bill could be in the back like the Emperor.

Everybody kind of falls into it that's been on the show. You know what I mean? We could have Sam on it. Everybody. This is the kind of thing, Jo joelle that if we had a a staff graphic designer they would be like they'd have a draft of it by the afternoon they'd be like i'd just say no more i will be on the hunt for a solid graphic designer because that shirt yeah and also someone who loves the show because it would be fun to be like it would be fun to just come up with funny ideas and have the person pitch things based loves the show because it would be fun to be like it would be fun to just come up with funny ideas and have the person pitch things based on the show you know what i mean yeah you

know what i'm saying i did not me no i'm saying my house got uh flooded with poop oh i'm so sorry is that what those pictures on instagram were yeah's the pipe. That's the pipe that caused all my troubles. Oh, Zach. Any of you who follow me on Instagram, I took pictures of the very pipe that ruined my precious living space. Oh, that sounds horrendous. How long is that? Is that a two-day project? It's two-day.

Joelle, this is a debacle. Oh, no. My neighbor's poop came over to visit. Oh, no. Let me tell you what happened. Let me tell you what happened. You know when your neighbor knocks on your door and is like, hey, do you ever want to get a drink and hang out?

That's what my neighbor's poop did. It didn't knock. Anyway, so to make a very long story short, I had to rip out all my floors of the lower floor of my house. Christ. Because there's poo in it. Oh, boy. Oh, man.

I'm so sorry. You have to deal with that. Did it stink? It never, to be, I know it sounds unrealistic, but it never smelled like poop. It smelled like a musty basement. But it was definitively poop water oh did you like there weren't there weren't like logs rolling around but there was poop water yeah i knew i mean it was the sewer line silver silver linings i guess what's the silver lining that there's not logs and it didn't smell completely

like shit. There was toilet paper. Oh my god. You know what's gross? I had these really nice wood floors, right? And you know how when you get nice wood floors, it's not just flat, like fake.

It's like all the nooks and crannies of the real oak. Well, in all those nooks and cranny was was was tp jesus no no this is one of those things that like tries your soul i'm gonna lose it i don't wish this on anyone it's horrible all i can say is that make sure your house has something if you're a homeowner oh god i'm getting chills let me give the audience some free advice because I'm going to give you all some advice I never knew that you needed to have. But if you're a homeowner,

make sure that your sewer line has what's called a check valve on it. The check valve allows for poop to leave the home, but not to come back in. You know when the bouncers throw a drunk guy out of a bar? Yes. That's what a bar? Yes. That's what a check valve is. They are the check valve. It lets the drunk guy and the poop out, but when he

tries to come back in, all hammered. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. You can't come back in. It goes, nah, nah, nah, don't try me. I remember you, I remember you, motherfucker. Yeah, walk away. Walk away, poop. Walk away. It sends reinforcementments every day. My house did not have a poop bouncer.

Now, listen, everyone. We have quite a show today. We continue our amazing new strike show, which is having very fascinating, interesting people on that we think are really cool and shooting the shit with them and asking them questions. All right, everybody.

All right, everybody. All right, everybody. That's what I'm talking about. Oh, you got it back. No. Oh, it's back. Wu-Tang forever. Wu-Tang forever.

It's back, baby. I was sitting here when you were having technical troubles playing with everything. Eat these balls, Zach. Eat these balls, Zach. Eat these balls, Zach. Whether it be taking a poop, whether it be a finger, whether it be a tongue, whether it— You know, everybody likes a little ass play. They do.

Preston clearly doesn't listen to the show because he's cracking up. All right. Donald, count us in. We have a very special guest today. I said, give me some stories about a show we made about a bunch of docs and nurses in a Canada who love to hate. I said, here's a story that we all should know. So gather round to hear our, gather round to hear our Gather round to hear our

I know that, sorry Donald, but you're just not this kind. He's a lovely man. He's incredibly talented. He is currently playing Javert in the tour of Les Miserables, Mr. Preston Boyd.

Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for Preston Boyd! How are you? Welcome. What an intro. Thank you. Happy to be here. We have to share a mic and I can tell that you've had

a drink or two today already. Well, you know i i have a show off tonight so you know yeah congratulations one thing we know is that when you have a day off from doing an eight show schedule you might throw a throw one throw one back at noon absolutely is it noon i don't even know what time it is it's afternoon dude it's It's way past noon. It's five o'clock somewhere. What did you drink, bro? Welcome to the program, Preston. I want to know what he had.

What kind of sports did he have? Oh, he wants to know what you had to drink. I had a mimosa. No. And then I had a cold plunge. I'm still freezing right now. A mimosa? You got all bougie with it.

Well, you know. I like that. Preston, I have turned Preston onto the cold plunge life here at my house and he's loving it I don't have a sauna yet but I have just the plunge and we both have been really truly feeling amazing doing it it's amazing but I have to confess

I broke a rule today I want to just tell the audience this I need to give them a little backstory about the rules don't pee in the cold plunge. He peed in the cold plunge. Don't pee in the cold plunge, bro. He peed in the cold plunge. Is that what you did, bro? I have to quickly tell the audience because they'll love this. I've been staying out at the beach, and John C. McGinley lives out there,

and he is forever, for years. Now this cold plunge sauna thing is a trend, and a lot of people are doing it. John C. has been doing it for decades and swearing by it. And so now that I'm into it, I've been going to his house. Scrubs fan would love this. It's literally Johnny C, like Dr. Cox, yelling at me, JD, to fucking do it right and go slower and not get out. What the fuck are you doing? And it would be amazing content for the audience because it's like real life Dr. Cox and JD.

And Johnny is so funny and he has all these rules. Bill Lawrence and I have been teasing him because he's kind of kidding, but he's not kidding. And he has all these rules about using this cold plunge and they're extensive. And one of them is that if you come to use this cold plunge, you must first greet him. You can't just go, you can't just use the, you can't just put in the gate. You can't just go to the gate code and like just go in the cold plunge, you must first greet him. You can't just go, you can't just use the, you can't just put in the gate, you can't just go to the gate code and like just go in the cold plunge. You got to come say hi, right?

Now I've been, he's got like 30 rules that are hilarious, but I've been teasing him about that. And then Preston did it. He fucking came over my house and just plunged. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. There are fucking rules. And I have my, and I told Johnny, Johnny was dying laughing., whoa, whoa. There are fucking rules. And I told Johnny, Johnny was dying laughing. I go, Johnny, now I understand it.

This motherfucker came over and just plunged. He didn't come say hi. I'm Norwegian. I've jumped into frozen lakes. We cut it with a chainsaw. So I felt like I felt welcome in my element. No, no, you can say hi. I don't care if you're Norwegian.

So the rule I broke today. Go ahead. I didn't bring my own towel. Oh yeah, that's another Johnny C rule. That's a big important rule. A very big Johnny C rule is I am not a fluff and fold. Bring your own towel. Now, it doesn't matter if you forget your towel.

He's not like, I got you this time. You don't have a towel. No, fuck you. Gotta make the lesson stick. That's some bullshit. You stand there in the breeze and you freeze your ass off. Eat these balls, Zach. How about that?

Eat these balls, Zach. My friends in my neighborhood are starting to enjoy my plunge. So I had to text Johnny and be like, I get it, bro. I'm not a laundromat. Bring own towel I was gonna gift so what did you do how are you dry son son oh this is amazing it's great yes the Sun is great only problem that should have burned you don't that's right I know you are a bit red Preston I'm going to keep it 100 with you. This is me enjoying California. We have to go out and play golf, by the way.

Dude, I haven't played in like over a year, man. I've been trying to set up a mandate between you two because you both have a love of two things that pair very nicely together. Marijuana and golf? Yes. And I don't know why I can't get you guys to go on a mandate.

I just haven't played golf in a... Listen, he can play, right? Yeah, he's really good. What's your handicap? He plays with Troy Mullins. She's a freaking long drive champion, dude. What's your handicap?

I'm not going to know what this means. I'm a six right now. He's a six. Is that good? It's okay. I've been better. He's pretty decent.

I've been scratched. But he's a six on he's a six on like real golf courses yeah i'm a six on like encino balboa griffith i'm a six i'm you know what i mean i once shot a 78 78 at freaking calabasas and it was the best day of my life i still have the scorecard in my fucking back pocket you know what i mean there was a point where i was playing so much that if i didn't shoot in the 70s i was pissed off yeah unless i went to unless i went to like some extremely hard course when i hit when i shot a 79 at run you sorry at rustic canyon that's was like, yo, I am playing way too much fucking golf right now.

And you're obsessed at that point. Yeah, but he lost it. He's not interested anymore. He's got other interests. It's not that I'm not interested. You were so interested. Now I want to play and not have expectations. You know what I mean?

That's the best way to play. It's way better. I can't convince you to go on a man date with Preston. No, I totally want to go. While he's in California, I would love to do that, that man let me tell you something else daniel and you know this because you set it up another rule at johnny's house is when you're done plunging and sawing you must come and find him in the golf shed to say goodbye okay and give your and give your respects now this gentleman is playing three hours a day minimum on his simulator that Dan will help set up in that golf shed.

Sounds about right. And he told me that it is definitely improving his actual real-life game. Yes. Love that. Love to hear that. I'm going to keep it 100 with you. If you're hitting the ball three hours a day every every day, and you're not getting better? There's something wrong with you, not golf.

That is 100. I just didn't know if it translated to the actual course, and he said absolutely. Hell yeah, man. You hit, listen, your swing is your swing. And once you can tell what your swing is doing, you're able to play anywhere. Like a lot of people get hung up on, I want my shit to go left or I want my shit to go right. If you can navigate a course with what your ball does when you swing, you're ahead of the game, man. You're competing.

It's the biggest freaking mindfuck. And nobody can understand it unless they play. You know what I mean? And now the cliche cliche i have a kid you have kids i i don't i'm not able to play like i used to why can't you bring the kid in a in a in a she'll get hit by a fucking golf ball really i will i'll never be able to live with myself why can't you know what someone should maybe i'll build a little bubble someone should invent a stroller that has like a cage on it so There you go. You know what I'm saying?

Someone should invent a golf stroller. And if the ball, it's got like, you know the cage that's on the thing that picks up the balls at the driving range? It should have a cage on it. Oh my God, that'd be the best day ever for every dad. For every dad, that'd be the best day ever. This is my, this is our big idea. Wait, is your real reason for not bringing your baby that you're worried she's going to get hit? No, not necessarily. Yeah, there is.

Poopy type. There's all kinds of factors. That's a distraction. You can't be distracted. You have to be 100% dialed in to shoot your baby. What about a soundboard? I mean, how many times do you hear four when you play a round of golf? I hear it at least once or twice.

Once or twice. Now, four is when you yell if your ball's just gone crazy. Yeah. I'd be yelling four all the time. Does it hurt if you get hit in the head with a golf ball? Yes, I've got no energy to try and hit it. I've got my gloves up the hill. Have you gotten hit with a golf ball yet?

Yeah, in my ass. Yeah, me too. I got hit in the rib cage. It was off a skip, though. It hit the ground and then jumped up. It was like forest. This shit curved right into me. Left, too.

This motherfucker hit that shit off the tee and it curved right, like hooked right into me. Did you get mad at him? Did you run up on him? Nah, man, because this was my first time shooting in the 70s, dude, in front of my brother. You were focused. So check this out. Me and my brother were playing around and for the first time ever in front of him, I'm

about to shoot like a 75 or a 74, which is fucking big time, right? and we're sitting in the golf cart and it's the last shot to the green i'm pretty close i'm like you know maybe 120 yards out so it's a i'm a gap wedge out right and i'm like i'm about to fucking destroy this that. That was my nickname in high school. I'm about to fucking destroy this shit, right? And I hear, four! As I'm getting out the cart. So I jump back

into the cart. My brother looks up and goes, oh shit! And grabs me like in an embrace to block me, to help me. And that shit fucking Millennium Falcons through a tree, through trees and everything, and catches me right in the rib cage. Bang!

I'm like, oh! I scream like, you know, I scream. It's real loud, right? And I'm like, oh, shit. I lift up my shirt, and it's like a paintball well. You know, you have to get shot with a paintball, and that shit's fucking purple and fucking all that shit. And I look at the guy on the tee. He's like, oh, my God, are you fucking all right?

And I'm like, I'm good. I'm good. I'm about to shoot this 75. And I step up and I fucking crack the ball onto the green and I shoot a 74

And it is so good. They're in L.A. now. But you're headed where? Vegas? Vegas next. Then we're back in the area in Costa Mesa. So if you miss us here, you can take a longer drive. I thought we could ask you a little about it. Where are you at in Vegas?

The, I don't know. Okay. But not at a casino. They go to a real theater. Like a big theater on Fulton Street. Oh, you're in downtown Vegas. Old school Vegas. Yeah.

Is it Reynolds Hall? Reynolds Hall at the Smith Center? Yes. The Smith Center. That's it. Thank you. There you go. Go see it.

I went to see it. My mom went to see it. I went to see it. My mom went to see it. Bill went to see it. We just had the most amazing time. You're so incredible. I thought we could talk a little bit because we like to have people on that do things and explain things that

most of our audience obviously isn't in entertainment. I thought we could talk about what it's like to be on a tour of a show. Tell us a little about, just start with, for those who don't know, I'll state the obvious. It's a Broadway show that goes on the road and goes to cities all around the country or the world. But Preston is currently on the North American tour. So tell us about, like, what it's like. Tell us about the tour itself.

Yeah, you know, there are obviously different markets in different cities that we play. So we have, you know, I mean, the show's booked for three years right now. And we obviously play different cities, larger markets all over the country. And oftentimes we sit down for a long time. Sometimes we sit down for a week. Luckily, we're in L.A. for six weeks. And what determines that? sit down for a long time sometimes we sit down for a week luckily we're in la for six weeks and what determines that the the the size of the city how much the tickets typically sell for a show

yeah exactly yeah they they i mean all of the the way they they run the market it's it's incredible the way they can predict all of this and having all these hit shows come through and they can say les mis will sell 78 here if we do a week. If we do two weeks, it'll sell 62%. So we, you know, it's great because we get to see all kinds of different cities and different, you know, markets and blue-collar people, white-collar people come into the show. And still, it's such a poignant story that I think, you know, right now it's... What if I don't have a collar?

Am I allowed? All are welcome, Zach. All are welcome. Now wait. Now talk about... Just get down to the nuts and bolts. How many... This is a big show.

It's a big cast. It's a big orchestra. How does this thing move? How long does it take to set up in a theater? Talk us through the logistics of the actual tour. So there are about 92 company members and that's orchestra crew cast And management and then we packed the show up into 13 semi trucks So it takes about a day and a half for the show to come down on a Sunday night

They pack the show up overnight drive it to the next city and our crew is up all night long and They get us ready for a sound check check on a Tuesday in a new city. That's incredible. Yeah, it's amazing. Wait, so go slower. So you do a Sunday matinee. Yeah, and an evening oftentimes. And an evening Sunday.

And the crew does a night shift where they take it all apart and pack it into trucks. How long does that take? About 14 to 16 hours, depending on the space because every theater is different. Some are small, some are big. We have room to, you know, negotiate things differently.

Then they travel, assuming Monday night. And then they spend all day Tuesday setting it up and you're ready to do a sound check Tuesday. At 5.30. And then you do a Tuesday night show. That is unfuckin' great. That's crazy, dude. It's amazing.

Hold on now. It's literally theater magic. All theaters are different and stuff like that. Not one theater is the same. How does that work out? I mean, I know that it's still you're on a stage, you're never in the round, but

you know what I mean yeah every space so our our proscenium is the exact same every theater we go to but it's the backstage that has to be so incredibly choreographed to so people literally don't get hurt and and we're able to make the show run as seamless as seamlessly as it does because it's i mean the design is incredible and the way things just seamlessly move on and off stage is incredible. So like the Kennedy Center we played in D.C. is a huge, huge space backstage. So it's, for our crew, it's a dream because they don't have to finagle and negotiate all that stuff. But like we played the Fifth Avenue in Seattle, which is like a Broadway house. Most Broadway theaters

are incredibly small and tight backstage and, you know, things are flown above you. So you're making an entrance on stage and you have a, like a one ton set piece hanging over your head. Oh my God. Or like a lift. I remember doing Bullets Over Broadway and they had this lift, uh, not like, not like, like a mini forklift that that they with a bucket they would use to change the lights but a genie they call yeah and they so what would happen is there's no room in the wings backstage so they would put chain hooks to these things and then what they call flying which is moving it up to the sky and you if you're backstage you're just doing your thing you look up and just above your head is something that would crush you and kill you in a millisecond and i went backstage to say to les mis after

to see preston and all of these beautiful set pieces that are huge and heavy and have been in the show are just dangling above your head in the wings because there's nowhere to put them so they the crew moves them off and then and then pulls them up above your head. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. I mean, it's all. That'd be so distracting. Yeah, it is. Well, yeah, that's the thing about doing what we do.

You know, there's so many factors. You know, it's the orchestra. The sound is different every night. If there are less bodies in the building, you know, there's less reverb. So, you know, it's just every factor plays in. Now, explain the orchestra piece because you told me that for the most part, the orchestra travels with you. But certain cities have unique union rules where their union players have to play the show. So all of a sudden, LA, for example, they have a whole new orchestra

because the LA Union Orchestra said, we're playing the show, not others. So you're talking about rule 24, which, um, the musicians union, which, uh, you know, encompasses all of Broadway and all of the touring musicians. Um, there are certain cities that have a higher market of, um, musicians. Like there are so many players in LA. So there's a rule that protects a place where there's a higher concentration of musicians. And they then become our local orchestra. So wait, what's crazy to me is that you told me that you are playing with your regular

touring orchestra. Then someone is rehearsing the la orchestra because they have the special union rule and then you just show up and that show it's like bang new orchestra you don't even know their names yeah yeah it's amazing and and like the old orchestra ever be like i'll see you in portland they're yeah they do literally we'll be in portland in a you know a couple months um but yeah it's it's uh you know, they're pissed. What do they do? What do those guys do?

They're on hikes and they're, you know. Wait, they're in town, but they can't work? No, some of them came to town just because they're like, you're in LA, I'll hang out in LA. I've got nothing to do. A lot of them, you know, people give up their homes too when they go on tour. So a lot of people that are on the road are, you know,

they're like, this is what I've got. I don't know where I'm going next. You know, with just the way things are now too, especially with the or, you know, they're like, this is what I've got. I don't know where I'm going next. You know, with just the way things are now too, especially with the strike, you know, there's some people in the cast that do more film and TV usually that are, you know, based in Chicago or here that are like, I think I might move to, you know, New York. Everyone's agent is like getting bombarded with people wanting to do theater right now, which is.

I would like to play Gavroche. All right. When we come back, would like to play Gavroche. All right. When we come back, we're going to take a quick break. We're going to ask Preston about doing the actual show. He does eight shows a week and sings a very, very hard part. So we want to know all about his process, as the thespians say. We'll be right back after these fine words. Hi, I'm Martha Stewart, and we're back with a new season of my podcast.

Oh, that would have been so much fun. We could have played fucking that shit. I went to camp, right? And archery was my shit. Did you do the apple thing with me?

I'm not going to do the apple thing. No, I don't. Did you do the apple thing? Do you have a composite bow? Or do you have like one of them bullshit bows? What kind of bow do you have? We have a very basic bow, but Preston doesn't care. He does some fucking Robin Hood shit.

He was getting so bored with hitting bullseyes that he was like, let me try it if I jump off of here and shoot it. Yeah, man. He was getting so bored with hitting bullseyes that he was like, let me try it if I jump off of here and shoot it. Yeah, man. He was running down the stairs. Yeah, gah, gah! Love it. Yeah, he was like

up on the deck, standing on the deck like firing at it. We got Lego loss in the chat. He's like, hey, do me a favor. Do me a favor. I want to hit a moving target.

Run with that thing. Run with that thing. He's an outdoorsman. He's an outdoorsman. He's good at fishing. He can tap dance. One of the first times I've ever met him. Well, not the first time, but one of the first times we ever really hung out.

He was planning a camping trip while he was in Los Angeles. Loves the camp. Loves a good camping. I'm very campy. Do you cook one of cast iron grills? My favorite. You know what? As I've gotten older, I really enjoy car camping

because you can literally bring a kitchen in your trunk and you can, and I love the like open fire cooking things fun. You know what one of the best thing is? Taking a squash and a corkscrew and just screwing a bunch of holes in a squash, putting it in the ashes and you crack that shit open, open it up. Oh, it's smoky.

It's good. I'm going to come for you all. I'm never going to do that. But listen, I'm going to come for you all. I'm never going to do that. But listen, I look forward to going. Preston is the perfect person to go camping with because he knows all the shit.

When you're like, how does this tent go together? He's like, is that the R249er? Give me a second. Yeah, he's that guy. I love that. That's what I need. That's what we all need. But you know when the problem is when you start cooking shit them bears be smelling it come on well you live out of so much fear dude everything we mentioned you're like no i saw all these movies as a kid that was the mistake and i'm trying not to do with my kid

and i made i saw all these movies listen you do listen do you know why they make movies daniel to desensitize you so now now when the aliens come this is some conspiracy shit donald believes that bears and sharks banded together to make films that desensitize human beings so they would go out and become good food. When you see a motherfucker getting eaten by a bear, don't... You desensitize and you'll take out... You know what you do? You take out your phone now

and you shoot that shit. I just want the record to reflect that every time I bring something up, you're like, no, sharks. Nope, bears. Bears. You have a fear of sharp teeth. Yeah, I do. I have a fear of sharp teeth yeah I do I have a fear of getting eaten by another animal

alright listen tell us about doing 8 shows a week who doesn't though right I have a fear of 8 shows a week tell us about doing 8 shows a week for those of you who don't know the show it's a very hard part he plays Javert who's the cop who's chasing

Jean Valjean what is that like as a singer who's singing cop who's chasing Jean Valjean. What is that like? Do you have to, as a singer who's singing such a big part, do you have to do anything special for your voice? Yeah. Excuse me. Yes. I've trained so long and to still be taking voice lessons right now is so important with a role like this to maintain it. And simply it's rest and water. And I have a baby now, so the rest is a bit more unpredictable. So I have to kind of take it when I can get it and like stack up rest for two, three days ahead. What about vocal warmups? Do you do, you know, you see all these famous singers,

they have a whole routine. Do you do that or are you lazy about that? No, no. I was cocky in the beginning with it. Like I i was like this is a role i can sing in my sleep and i could for the first three four months and then it became much more difficult and and uh i think not having the rest that i was getting initially made a big difference so you know different like lip trilling and straw work um vocal function which is literally like um vocal cord resistance so it's strength training for your vocal cords this is boring no it's not no it's not at all but uh but the reason we had you on was to tell us something we don't know we don't want to hear

about golf and weed donald covers that we want to know about vocal cord strengthening yeah so yeah it's like you know you have to think about us being um athletes vocally because i also the character i play is um you know i have to really dig deep and get super dramatic with it so i'm also yelling and screaming a bit and i lose my mind every evening and and spoiler alert i uh take my life oh geez you know guys i'm sorry these are some these are some lame is spoilers spoilers hey i have a question if you haven't seen lame is by now we're allowed to spoil it yes one thing i always thought was funny about the show is like javert is the main cop everywhere like no matter where they go yeah like the story takes place the story takes place in so

many places why is javert the only head cop in the whole fucking show? I don't think we need to ask these questions. No. I think... Wherever they go, it's like, who's in charge? It's Javert. The show is perfect. Don't question it.

No. I feel like, you know, he's four places at a time. Oh, look at the dog. Sorry, that's my dog. Are you trying to get out of answering this? You didn't write it. It's okay. I just want to know about the anger.

Have you heard of Victor Hugo? What do you tap? Victor Hugo wrote it, so it's not a pressing problem. You don't have to tell us what you're tapping into or anything like that. But how are you building that up? And is it exhausting? I mean, I imagine eight shows a week and having to be angry and sing seems very exhausting to me. Yeah. I mean, um, it's, uh, yeah, it's, I, I do try to mentally

go there every night and, and, uh, I usually always have someone there that I want to, you know, do my absolute best for and, uh, to go to that dark place. And I, you know, I try to, I'm not going all Daniel Day-Lewis with it, but like know it's it's uh and then also you know I'm I'm clocking the orchestra I'm stepping up onto a bridge I'm a size 12 and this bridge is like you know a size 11 and a half so I'm trying to like stand up on this thing where I have this rig coming in to connect to me to do this effect for my death and everything so it's there's a lot of mental capacity that comes into play there. But it's enjoyable because I do love to go there

and I love to get, I love to, you know, really like scare people because I kind of scare myself too. And you have to tap into real shit for that, obviously. But, you know. And both of his big songs just bring the house down. I mean, the audience goes fucking crazy for you. And I'm so proud of you when I see it.

Yes, Daniel. I have a question for Preston, if that's okay. You were talking about vocal exercises, and I know you said this is boring. But at the same time, it's something that I think is very relevant to not just us on the phone call, but a lot of people that listen to the show. This is not a phone call. This is a Zoom. Sorry. Us on the Zoom call.

My apologies, Donald. But for everybody who is on Zoom calls frequently, you know, we are communicating more than ever in a way where, you know, we need to talk more clearly and more crisply. And so with that, I'm straining my voice more. My fiance is straining her voice more. Do you have any advice for just very simple vocal warm ups that could be good for anybody who is working from home, doing voice calls and stuff like that? And just, you know, to better take care of your vocal cords yeah that's a great question um i feel like i feel like a lot of times we just are lazy with the way we speak um man not you i didn't say you most of us you're like come on what are you talking about on my floor with my pillow hold on

bro just because i bro your posture is perfect i wish the audience could see how donald's protesting he's lying on a bed vocal health posture no i feel like um you know simply humming like first thing in the morning because uh oftentimes you wake up and you you know you kind you know, chat out your plans with your partner or whatever, and, and, uh, you're, you're not vocally warmed up. So you're already kind of setting yourself up for the day. Um, you know, it's a, yeah, in a, in a poor way. So I think, um, humming, even just putting on some music in the morning and singing lightly to it, um, just to kind of like wake your voice up because when you do speak to people specifically, it's a, you're, you're,

it's a performative way to speak to someone, you know, you're trying to communicate and when you're communicating, you may be putting in a lot of little extra work than you would normally just be speaking. I would also do a little, I would do a little, what do you call them? Things that are the things where you speak fast. When I was a little tongue twisters, I would do those. Like if I had a big audition, I would always do tongue twisters.

What's wrong with baby bunny bumpers? The lips, the tip of the teeth, and the tongue. The lips, the tip of the teeth, and the tongue. The lips, the tip of the teeth, and the tongue. Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. That's the hardest one. Yo, listen.

You know what? Toy boat, toy boat, toy boat. What you just said sounds like so much fun. If you do have time, even if you're not musical. And that's such a great fucking way to wake up with your family let's hum this morning at breakfast yeah and you hum song when i was a kid we used to sing a lot as a family like my mom my dad and my brothers we all would sing together not for anyone but just for each other right so like my dad would be like, you know, you saw Vacation where they're in the car and they're singing in the Wally world.

The Grizzles, yeah. Yeah. We would spontaneously do that, you know, wherever we were. You know what I mean? That was the type of family we were. Yeah. Another good warm-up song is this one. What you trying to get into a day or soon?

What you trying to do? I'm going to disagree with you on that one. What you trying to get into a day or soon? What you trying to do? I'm going to disagree with you on that one. Over and over again. I disagree with you on that one because you're straining right there. What you trying to get? Preston, can you give me notes on this? I'm going to sing it live in front of a professional Broadway singer. Give me some notes

on me singing this. Ready? I mean, maybe mash me up in them ellipses, and talk to Gary. What you're trying to get into a day or soon or what you're trying to do.

Do you have any thoughts on that? Yeah, I think you want to open up more on the top, more like, what you, you know.

Yeah, wait, let me bring down the mic, but do that for real. All right. What you, so let's try what you. What,

Get in and dance your shoe. What you trying to do? Oh, geez. Perfect. Spot on. I butchered it, but I think I know. Oh, my God. Excellent.

You got to do it one more time. That was amazing. Weed, not even once. All right, guys. The words are. You can't say it's me. I finally have the other stoner in my life. I love it.

Okay. Thank you. I love to blow it out in the beginning. Do you want to give us a little Javert sample just because the audience, I don't know if I can sing on this. Can I, you can just give a little bit of something like you got about 20 seconds of singing that you, no, no, we got leeway. I can sing the Jean Valjean part if you want I am warning you Javert I'm a stronger man by far

there is power in me yet my race is not yet won he's worked on that a lot and it's very good I know the whole show by heart I think he could take the car down to the Pantages I got one how does it go

I got one how does it it go? I got one. How does it go? There's a place for us. No, that's the wrong show. Oh, shit. My bad. You're thinking I Dream to Dream. I dream to dream and days gone by. Oh, I got one for you. You take the watch.

They may attack before it's light. Everybody keep the faith. What is it? For certain as the eagle flies, we are not alone. The people too must rise. Marius. Drink with me.

Yes. Today he's gone by. You can do the whole show right here. To the life that used to be. Let the wine of friendship never run dry. Let the wine of friendship never run dry. Here's to them and here's to you. Oh, fuck.

There we go. Fuck. If I die before I wake. See, we're going to do the whole show fuck. There we go. If I die before I wake up. See, we're going to do the whole shit. That's what happens when you start singing Les Mis. Whenever Preston comes over, I just start singing lines from Les Mis. Preston had a friend come over and... All that means

nothing at all. Will you weep? Cosette should marry us all. Is it Cosette? That means nothing at all. Would you weep? Cosette should marry us fall. Is it Cosette? Yeah, would you weep? That means nothing at all. Would you weep? Cosette should marry us fall. Preston had a friend come over and

he told me who he played in the show and I sang one of his lines. I was like, I know one of your lines. And he told him to add a little grit to it. Oh, that was funny, actually. He's the guy who plays the drunk guy. The gronteur is the character? He plays the guy who's always drunk at the meetings of the students. And I said, oh, listen, I'm coming to the show tonight.

And on your one line that you sing, Marius, you're no longer a child. Da-da-da-da-da-da-da. I'm going to say, what's going on? You talk of bad. He's making fun of Marius for not being focused. And he goes, you talk of battles to be won. And here it comes like Don Juan.

It's better than an opera. And he goes, ooh, you're putting a little gravel on it. I go, do me a favor. A tonight show. A tonight show. I want you to put that same gravel on it. And he's laughing and everything. I'm like, no, no, just try it.

You might like it. You might want to commit to it. So I forget about it. I certainly don't think he's laughing and everything i'm like no no just i just like just try it you might like it you might want to commit to it so i forget about it i certainly don't think he's going to do it we go to the show that night this dude threw some stoozy on you put some stoozy on it times 10 times 10 kyle adams folks kyle shout out to kyle adams for i don't know if he's stuck with that preston has he has he's sticking to it oh He's sticking to it. Oh, he's sticking to it. Oh, look at that. There you go, everybody. He was like, you know, Zach Braff did direct that Garden State movie. I will take the note.

Well, listen. Listen, he liked it. It worked. Co-director of Les Mis now. Well, I just like that if you go see the show, the touring company of Les Mis. He does have a Grammy. He does have a Grammy. If you go see the show, the touring company of Les Mis coming to a senior year, and you hear that line, that little extra gravel is because of me.

I love it. All right. Well, wrap up with, what should we wrap up with, Preston? Is there anything you want to talk about? It doesn't have to be about the show. It can be about your life. It can be about being a new father. Being a new father is incredible.

Touring with a new baby and a wife has been quite a challenge, but amazing. You brought the wife and kid with you. They're out. Wow. They're here in law. I love this. Are they going to do the whole? They're not doing the whole tour, obviously.

No, no. They're just coming out. We're here for six weeks, so they decided to come out for this. And just being in LA feels like being home a bit. So it's been nice to hit cities where we have friends and family in. And he gets to come over to my house and cold plunge, and he follows the rules. He comes over and says hi to me before plunging.

I did one today. From now on, bring your own towel, not a fluff and fold. Thanks, John C. Lastly, I wanted to bring this up to Daniel because I don't smoke weed or drink, but I still make late night stupid purchases. I'm very proud of you, buddy. Daniel, I brought this, but I don't, I bought this, but I don't even know really what it is.

And I just thought I was going to be able to play like old school Game Boy games on it. But I can't seem, but it didn't come with any adapter and I can't seem to, what do I do? And what can I do with this thing? You literally put old Game Boy cartridges in there. Whoa. They fit in there. Whoa.

So it is meant to fit Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, DS. You have to actually own the cartridges. But what it does is it allows it to be a kind of like pan console controller for many different kinds of handhelds. Yeah, so Daniel, how many different systems will this little thing play? I'm pretty sure it is like-

Pocket works with cartridge adapters for other handheld systems too, like Game Gear, Neo Geo, Pocket Color, Atari Lynx, and more. So it is, yeah. Yeah, so it works for a lot. Let me ask you a question. Sure.

If I buy a Game Boy cartridge. Yes. Can I just stick it in here or do I need an adapter? You can just stick it. Nope, you just stick it right in. Oh, I got to go on eBay right now, y'all. You go to GameStop too. Yeah.

Okay, but I was going to go on eBay. I was going on eBay. I bet you get Tetris for a little bit of money.
