[0:01] Elliott Mattox: Oh, God. This is HUNGOVER, a new mini-series where we follow some of our favorite theater artists on their way back to the stage. We're going to be checking in with these artists before rehearsal, during rehearsal seeing the process, and then afterwards during performances. So you'll get a unique perspective on their journeys to getting back to normal. So grab your hair of the dog, because this is HUNGOVER. Cheers!

[0:38] Elliott Mattox: Welcome to this week's episode of HUNGOVER, the Equity One mini-series where we follow some of your favorite theater artists on their way back to the stage. I'm Elliott.

[0:46] Caleb Dicke: And I'm Caleb. Welcome!

[0:48] Caleb Dicke: Elliott, it feels like we're back home.

[0:50] Elliott Mattox: It is. We're back in the studio.

[0:52] Caleb Dicke: We're sitting in front of my singular microphone. Sorry, everyone.

[0:56] Elliott Mattox: And we are drinking an open jar.

[0:59] Caleb Dicke: You and I are drinking an open jar.

[1:01] Elliott Mattox: Yes.

[1:02] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, so it feels right.

[1:03] Elliott Mattox: Yeah.

[1:04] Caleb Dicke: I feel like there are signs in some Ripley Greer's that say, like, don't drink alcohol in here.

[1:09] Elliott Mattox: That's our bad.

[1:10] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, it's our fault, because we left bottles of champagne with Kate Mumpkin in the tiny studio.

[1:15] Elliott Mattox: Sorry. Sorry, everyone.

[1:16] Caleb Dicke: Yes.

[1:17] Elliott Mattox: We are here with our fave, Tim Hughes.

[1:21] Timothy Hughes: Hi!

[1:22] Caleb Dicke: Hi!

[1:23] Timothy Hughes: Open containers and open jars.

[1:24] Caleb Dicke: Yes!

[1:26] Timothy Hughes: Hashtag.

[1:29] Timothy Hughes: You have to keep a little, like, sippy cup lid, so hopefully that stops a little bit from falling out.

[1:32] Caleb Dicke: For sure.

[1:35] Caleb Dicke: How are you doing, Tim? You are in the midst of a sprint.

[1:38] Timothy Hughes: For sure. I mean, it feels very appropriate that this is the Hangover episode, because my body does feel hungover. I'm super excited. Like, we're definitely ready to reopen, to, like, share with an audience again. And that feels so incredible. But it's been quick, and it's been crazy.

[2:02] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[2:03] Timothy Hughes: Yeah, but we will reopen in front of an audience, invite addresses tomorrow.

[2:07] Caleb Dicke: Oh, wow.

[2:08] Timothy Hughes: Yeah.

[2:09] Caleb Dicke: How long were you in rehearsals? It's a short process.

[2:12] Timothy Hughes: We were here at Open Jar Studios for about two weeks, I think, and then we've been in the theater for one week. We've been in costumes for two days, two run-throughs. 16 hours.

[2:27] Timothy Hughes: Yeah, we literally had, the workers have two, like, kind of very quick, quick changes, and we never rehearsed them. We just, like, did a run, and fingers crossed that, like, our body was going to remember. And sure enough, I kind of did. I was like, what am I doing?

[2:44] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[2:46] Timothy Hughes: As I, like, take off my clothes. Totally. But it worked. Everybody was ready. Everybody got through it. And we just, like, a lot of it, they're just trusting we'll kick back in, and miraculously it has.

[2:59] Timothy Hughes: I feel like we're going to reach a point where, in the beginning, I felt like my long-term memory was battling my short-term memory. That's what it felt like. Things that, like, I remembered, and then there were big gaps that, like, filled in with, like, new thought.

[3:11] Caleb Dicke: Sure.

[3:12] Timothy Hughes: And now, for anybody who's done, like, a long run before, you get to that place where you start questioning, like, is this? If you, like, don't think about it, just let it go.

[3:20] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, yeah.

[3:21] Timothy Hughes: Let it go. And now, like, the letting go has, like, a two-tiered system of doubt.

[3:26] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[3:27] Timothy Hughes: Like, oh, my God. Is this something? Is this new? So, we'll see. But so far, so good in having things come, like, flooding back to me.

[3:36] Caleb Dicke: How's it like being back in, like, the dressing rooms and, like, in the theater?

[3:40] Timothy Hughes: Oh, my God. So exciting. When we first had our, like, meet and greet at the Walter Kerr, Jordan Roth of Jujansen was like, this building turned 100 during the pandemic.

[3:53] Caleb Dicke: Hey.

[3:54] Timothy Hughes: Which is amazing. And we went through the beautiful list of the productions that had been there and the history of that space, and there's just nothing like that.

[4:04] Caleb Dicke: Right.

[4:05] Timothy Hughes: You know, I feel like when I've taken vacation in Europe, I'm like, the history here is so much older than me. So much. And you can see it in the architecture and you can see it all around you in the culture and the aesthetic of a lot of those countries that I think the newness of our country, we kind of miss some of that in the architecture and in New York City. But for some reason in those theaters, it feels like that history is older than the rest of the surroundings.

[4:32] Caleb Dicke: Yes, for sure.

[4:33] Timothy Hughes: Which is beautiful. I love it. I wonder if the theater ghosts are like, damn, everyone's back, or if they're, like, kind of excited.

[4:39] Caleb Dicke: Oh, I'm sure they're having cocktails.

[4:41] Timothy Hughes: They're like, we got a show coming up.

[4:43] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, yeah. I'm sure they're going to be scaring and causing mischief and raising holy hell through mold and dust.

[4:52] Timothy Hughes: Some things never change.

[4:55] Caleb Dicke: So, you're back quick and dirty into rehearsals. Like, how were you feeling in that? Like, you said you're kind of feeling like maybe your body is a little like, what's going on? Talk about, like, getting back into, like, the intense process that is rehearsing for a Broadway show.

[5:15] Timothy Hughes: The crazy thing was, when we were here at Open Jar, because so many shows are reopening at the same time, and our show is smaller in cast, we were pushed into, like, a small studio.

[5:28] Timothy Hughes: A corner lot. A corner, yeah. So, I kept joking it was, like, the Treehouse Studio. I was like, oh. And so, we really couldn't do, like, full energy, full out.

[5:38] Caleb Dicke: Sure.

[5:40] Timothy Hughes: Up until about a week ago, when we got into the space. And with Hadestown, we have a lot of turntables and moving automation.

[5:48] Caleb Dicke: Right.

[5:49] Timothy Hughes: And it really jolts your body.

[5:53] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[5:54] Timothy Hughes: Like, you have to get used to it. I had tried to pride myself in the fact that I was going to be in, like, good physical shape to get back to the show. But it's, like, the micro-muscles that were gripping in order to stay on that turntable that are just screaming at me right now.

[6:11] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[6:12] Timothy Hughes: Because we've only had a week. You know, we've only had a week in that space. And I was like, I remembered this happening before. And having, like, a week on automation and my body kind of gripping and needing to relax. But then I had two or three more weeks before we were opening the show.

[6:30] Caleb Dicke: Exactly.

[6:31] Timothy Hughes: Now we have, like, two or three more hours in front of an audience.

[6:34] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[6:35] Timothy Hughes: So, it's, like, the healing process of the adjustment process has also been expedited.

[6:44] Caleb Dicke: Sure.

[6:45] Timothy Hughes: And we'll just have to continue to adjust in front of an audience. I had sent, I found this, like, hip opening release of tension in your lower back yoga.

[6:58] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[6:59] Timothy Hughes: Force it. Pull your knee back. Yeah, for sure. And I sent it to, like, every one of my castmates. Like, do this. And I was like, if you're feeling the way that I'm feeling on this day off, I just cried through this stretch. So, here's a gift for media.

[7:12] Timothy Hughes: So, it's been interesting. Unprecedented for sure. In getting back into that shape. But the other side of that is, like, the spirit behind the show. All that work of, like, depth and meaning that comes over time in doing a show over and over. That clicked back in. Like, we felt it.

[7:33] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[7:36] Timothy Hughes: Like, right away in running the show in the theater. Especially when the band came in.

[7:43] Caleb Dicke: Oh, I'm sure.

[7:44] Timothy Hughes: Yeah. Because they're on stage with you.

[7:46] Caleb Dicke: Oh, my God. When Brian on the trombone started playing that opening sequence, like, I burst into tears. And my body just kind of knew. Like, went to a different place and it kicked back in.

[7:59] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[8:00] Timothy Hughes: But there's been a thousand little moments like that.

[8:04] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[8:05] Timothy Hughes: I mean, it makes so much sense. Anyone who's, like, ever done a show knows that, like, the first day with the orchestra is, like, the best day.

[8:13] Caleb Dicke: It's exciting.

[8:14] Timothy Hughes: It's just exciting to, like, hear actually what you're going to be doing because the energy is so different. And I'm sure that that was just, like, times a hundred.

[8:23] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[8:24] Timothy Hughes: You get that even before regular shows sometimes when you, like, hear the orchestra. You're like, okay, let's go. The endorphins pumping.

[8:28] Caleb Dicke: Oh, yeah.

[8:29] Timothy Hughes: So after months, you're like, let's fucking go.

[8:31] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[8:32] Timothy Hughes: Yeah, that's really exciting. And because of the scheduling, there was no, like, zits probe.

[8:35] Caleb Dicke: Right.

[8:36] Timothy Hughes: We were just doing a run for the first time with the orchestra on stage.

[8:39] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[8:40] Timothy Hughes: So it was like, oh, back into the routine. I mean, one of my favorite moments is All I've Ever Known where we finish, like, living it up on top. And we watch Orpheus University do this beautiful duet. And I sit next to the violin player and the cellist.

[8:55] Timothy Hughes: Celloist? Celloist. Hmm. Celloist. Celloist. It's cellist. Celloist. Cloutist. I don't know. Anyway, I get to sit right next to them, like, and listen to their, like, beautiful strings. And I just had forgotten.

[9:14] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[9:16] Timothy Hughes: How much I enjoyed that moment until it happened again. Those little things that you, like, think about that you're like, oh, in your first run, you're like, oh, this is cool. And then, like, you zone out. And maybe that's where you're, like, going through groceries or just focusing on the scene or thinking about, like, you know, a time to breathe.

[9:33] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[9:34] Timothy Hughes: And you're like, oh. I miss most the kind of backstage rituals. Like, I think about that all the time.

[9:38] Caleb Dicke: Oh, yeah.

[9:39] Timothy Hughes: The high fives when you're backstage. Yeah, whoever I high five. Who I say hello to. Which way I walk through. You know, like, those little interactions are, like, are so special. And you don't even, I, that's what I think about the most. I remember those more than I think I remember anything that I did in the show.

[9:56] Caleb Dicke: Oh, yeah.

[9:57] Timothy Hughes: We have those, too. We don't get as much time off stage.

[10:00] Caleb Dicke: Yeah.

[10:01] Timothy Hughes: But we do have the, like, the meet and greet before we go on stage. We, like, I get to be with Eva and then three or four members of the band. And the cue light went off the other day. And we were like, what did we say here? And I was like, oh, my God, I think I say hold on to your butts. And then Eva was like, oh, and I say fuck him in the hearts. And I was like.

[10:26] Caleb Dicke: Why did we say that? And then we ran on stage. But sure enough, it came back immediately. Oh my god, if we were doing episode titles for HUNGOVER it would be Hold On To Your Butts and Suck Them In The Heart. Mine is the Jurassic Park reference. Hold On To Your Butts.

[10:44] Elliott Mattox: I don't know. I don't. I've seen Jurassic Park maybe once.

[10:46] Caleb Dicke: Oh, well, time to watch it again. Well, I'm ready for the Jurassic Park musical.

[10:50] Elliott Mattox: Oh my god. You get those full body...

[10:54] Caleb Dicke: They actually have an off-Broadway...

[10:56] Elliott Mattox: Yeah, I think it was called Triassic Park.

[10:58] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, but I heard it was great.

[11:00] Elliott Mattox: Yeah, I heard it was really good, actually. I'm sure if we're bringing Jaws, the musical, bring a legit...

[11:04] Caleb Dicke: Who said that? Oh, right. It's like a Mickey and the Jaws movie happening.

[11:10] Elliott Mattox: No. It's two notes. Well, they better get the rights.

[11:12] Caleb Dicke: It's epic. They better get the rights or else they're gonna be changing it to... Just slightly changing it.

[11:20] Elliott Mattox: Going down. Has there been anything... A lot of people don't realize maybe when you're doing a Broadway show is how much... Even though we're just working three hours, four hours a night, how much it actually takes a toll on your life outside of it. Rehearsals are kind of more like a nine to five. Has adjusting to the schedule been difficult at all for you?

[11:51] Timothy Hughes: For sure. I forgot that I don't have time to go to the grocery store. One of the greatest luxuries of the time off was making dinner. I mean, yesterday was my day off and I made a meal and I was like, oh my god, I've been doing this a lot. And when you're in tech rehearsal and you go till 10, 10:30 at night, you don't make yourself a nice meal in the evening anymore. So I realized that I missed that. But for sure, the scheduling adjustment is I have to go work out or warm up my body ahead of time, get to the theater and then you're there till 10. It's very long days. And then the train or cab ride home is exhausting. And we haven't even been the intense adrenaline hasn't even kicked in. You're like, I need to burn some energy off. I'm looking forward to the adrenaline rush of this week because I am going to need it. And then I'm sure that I'll start feeling and settling into that new schedule in the next two or three weeks.

[13:14] Caleb Dicke: Right. Yeah. And then it feels like you have so much time during the day until the rehearsals kick in. TV appearances start happening. It's like opening the show again. You have to do all those performances. The first year of any new Broadway show, especially a show that does well, is just packed full of events and appearances.

[13:43] Timothy Hughes: Yeah. For Hadestown, we opened the show. Then we had the full campaign to promote the show. Then the full campaign of the Tonys. And then post-Tonys you have to stay relevant. We were just getting to the year two mark where it feels like things are settling. You don't have to do all those shows. You ride the momentum of everything you've created. And now we have to turn it all up again. So we'll see. I don't know. I don't know what it's going to be like. We definitely have some new TV appearances coming up. But I'm hoping that once we reopen this, there will be more of that balance. I think that I need to maintain that balance more. I think we all do in the aftermath of what I learned in this quarantine and the pandemic. The balance of life and career needs to be more evenly weighted. Our industry doesn't allow for that as much. So I'm going to have to prioritize that. Finding that balance. Hopefully things will adjust in order to accommodate that.

[15:00] Caleb Dicke: I think that's something a lot of people don't necessarily think about. Is the fact that you can't make dinner. You work six days a week and then your one day a week is spent going to the grocery store and cooking your food for the whole week. Or you're getting delivery, you're getting takeout every single day. It's not like it's an adjustment for sure after all this time of being home. I've cooked every single meal just making it. It's very foreign. The therapy of all of that. I'm going to miss my Dutch oven. I'm just going to miss it.

[15:36] Timothy Hughes: What color is it?

[15:38] Caleb Dicke: It's like an ocean blue. You know they come in such pretty colors. It matches the cabinets.

[15:44] Timothy Hughes: And your first wall is in your first apartment. On the seaside or something.

[15:50] Caleb Dicke: Oh my god. Poolside. Well tell us. What's been your favorite Dutch oven recipe that you've been doing?

[16:00] Timothy Hughes: One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten was my sister got me this thing called Butcher Box for Christmas. So just send you meat. You want some meat? My neighbors have never been more jealous. They're like your meat's here. And I'm like thank god. I get amazing filet mignons and steaks and I've been doing the searing technique. Take the meat out, put all the potatoes and veggies in and throw it in the oven. Do you believe in butter? You have to sear in the butter. Paula Deen. It's all about the butter. So that basic filet mignon has been my go-to. We've actually been meatless the last few weeks.

[17:51] Caleb Dicke: How's that been?

[17:53] Timothy Hughes: You know it's been good. No it's good. I still have my turkey wrap for lunch. But Michael's been really interested in trying it and he feels better. Do you feel energized? Do you feel like a new gal?

[18:09] Timothy Hughes: I feel absolutely the same. He feels super energized and feels the difference. I feel the exact same. So I'm down. I've been vegetarian before. What is the play where it's in Augusta, Osage County where one of the sisters was talking about the fear of the animal before they die. That rings true to me. That's kind of poetic and meaningful to me. I kind of buy into that. But it's still delicious. I still eat my turkey. It's not that affected by eating food. When we go out to dinner. When it's prepared by someone else it doesn't matter. When you just point it on the menu and it shows up. But honestly it gives a little bit of variety. Michael's very fitness focused. We make the food for the week and then we have this for lunch and then the pork for dinner.

The change of having multiple options because it's veggies and we can't just have the same thing every night. That to me has been a nice switch it up. I'm not saying we're sponsored by HelloFresh. But HelloFresh is a great meal substitute. You just order your meals 3-4 and they show up.

[18:30] Caleb Dicke: Cole and I love HelloFresh. It's really changed our relationship in the kitchen actually. I'm a sous chef but now I'm a better sous chef because I chop, he does it, sometimes I cook. HelloFresh. Not this ad. Use code Equity1.

[18:50] Timothy Hughes: Just think of a food podcast. Are you ready for some quick Q's?

[18:59] Caleb Dicke: I love an alliteration.

[19:01] Timothy Hughes: Me too. Favorite rehearsal snack?

[19:05] Caleb Dicke: Cashews.

[19:07] Timothy Hughes: Actually, crystallized ginger. I became a habit when I did Carnival at Good Speed. Two Ring Circus, Ben Franklin and Josh Dean, my friends. They were doing some crazy spinning so he always had ginger next to his station at intermission because it helped with his dizziness.

[19:29] Caleb Dicke: Quick shout out, there's a new gay bar on 43rd and 10th. This is called The Spot. I ordered a whiskey ginger the other day and they garnished it with a ginger chew. That's my kind of cocktail. Thank you.

[19:49] Timothy Hughes: The summer is nearing its end.

[19:51] Caleb Dicke: Don't say that.

[19:53] Timothy Hughes: Global warming and climate change is keeping the heat here. Seasonally, fall is almost here. What's a summer activity that you haven't gotten to do yet?

[20:07] Timothy Hughes: I can never get enough beach time. Never enough. I did make it upstate. Ever heard of it? I did make it upstate, which was great. I did just get out near Woodstock and had a grill and checked off all the things I wanted to be doing for the summer. Woodstock is fun, the area. We went to the museum and it was like, this is a legit fun museum. It's a very fun area. I love going upstate. I'm trying to think. I would say I haven't been to the beach here in New York. I feel like I would like to do that.

[22:53] Caleb Dicke: Side note, but I'm curious. We love history. Yeah. Caleb's a history minor. Let's check it out. We'll Google it after.

[23:02] Elliott Mattox: Caleb used to help me write my history papers. Wink. Help you.

[23:09] Caleb Dicke: Well, okay. If we're being transparent, okay. I plagiarized, and Caleb would get pissed because I would just like clean them up a little bit.

[23:24] Elliott Mattox: So I would get like an A, and he would get like an A+.

[23:29] Caleb Dicke: Onward! Pumpkin spice season is upon us. Besides the usual latte, donut, where do you add pumpkin spice into your life, and where, like, try something new?

[23:43] Elliott Mattox: Besides like the coffees and breakfast treats, you know I loved pumpkin cinnamon spice cider at like a social gathering.

[23:55] Caleb Dicke: I love a hot toffee. Do you add a little whiskey to it, or do you just love it like...

[23:59] Elliott Mattox: Of course! Bourbon, whiskey, like, I love throwing like a fall social party. Fall y'all.

[24:08] Caleb Dicke: And especially because it creates like the smell in my apartment, and then it's cozy, and...

[24:15] Elliott Mattox: And a hot drink, too, just works so much faster.

[24:22] Caleb Dicke: Oh, yeah. So much faster. The science.

[24:30] Elliott Mattox: It's science, you know. Listen, get the hot drink and the hot shower, and you'll be done before you even think about it.

[24:37] Caleb Dicke: Okay, so we talked about like wear and tear on your body, so how are you taking care of your aches and pains?

[24:42] Tim Hughes: I'm desperately texting my acupuncturist.

[24:44] Caleb Dicke: Can you show up at the theater?

[24:50] Tim Hughes: Well, because her schedule has changed now because of the pandemic, so now I have to adjust to that.

[24:58] Tim Hughes: And I was routinely doing that once a week, but I got a massage on my day off, which was great.

[25:05] Tim Hughes: And I have had to adjust to not working out the same way. That's like a new learned adjustment.

[25:08] Elliott Mattox: You have to go easy a little bit, yeah.

[25:19] Tim Hughes: Yeah, like anything on my legs is too much. Even if I'm like, oh, I feel fine, I realize after this past week, I'm like, I just need to rest.

[25:30] Tim Hughes: It's an interesting thing that people don't think about. When you work out during a show, you're kind of working out to undo whatever is going on that you're doing eight times a week.

[25:42] Caleb Dicke: Yeah, exactly.

[25:44] Tim Hughes: Even though you're doing a crazy, demanding show, and you're sweating, and it's really involved, you still have to keep your body able to do other things.

[25:56] Tim Hughes: Otherwise, the muscle memory can be really dangerous.

[25:58] Caleb Dicke: You're like, I'm lifting this chair with my right arm all the time. I need to strengthen my left arm.

[26:02] Tim Hughes: Yeah, I'm lifting chairs and tables and women galore.

[26:05] Caleb Dicke: You're lifting the stage. You're like, you want a little bit to the left?

[26:08] Tim Hughes: You know what the stage move is in the show? It's me.

[26:11] Caleb Dicke: You're actually like turning the table.

[26:13] Tim Hughes: Spoiler alert.

[26:15] Tim Hughes: I'm pulling back the curtain here.

[26:16] Elliott Mattox: Okay, last question. What's something you've learned about yourself through this rehearsal process that's new?

[26:38] Tim Hughes: I think what I've learned about myself through the return of rehearsing and seeing my cast again has been how social I am as a person, how complete I feel to be performing again.

[26:54] Tim Hughes: I think I recognized it during the time of, oh yeah, something is missing in my life right now, and I had to adjust my whole life around that.

[27:01] Tim Hughes: But I think what I'm realizing now is being back and being creative in a room with like-minded people.

[27:13] Tim Hughes: I don't even need to get onto that stage in front of a live audience to feel complete again.

[27:17] Tim Hughes: That sense of creativity and play is so much a part of what I need and who I am as a person.

[27:28] Tim Hughes: And I feel like it's safe to kind of finally acknowledge that again.

[27:35] Tim Hughes: Acknowledging that in the past year and a half was scary because it wasn't there, and it would be an acknowledgement of feeling incomplete.

[27:42] Tim Hughes: And now in the aftermath, I can kind of admit, oh God, that was how I would describe how I felt.

[27:56] Tim Hughes: And it wasn't devastating. I'm still a very solid person and stable in my life, but it's just that additional sense of fulfillment now that I have being back in the room that I'm learning it's a big part of myself.

[28:04] Elliott Mattox: I'm the same way. I feel like so much of why I do this is that part.

[28:11] Elliott Mattox: The part where you're making something, even if it's something that's been made before, redoing it, putting it back up.

[28:16] Elliott Mattox: Having that community, that sense of we are here together working toward this common goal.

[28:23] Elliott Mattox: I've realized too in the past few years that that is one of the most important things to me.

[28:31] Elliott Mattox: It's why I could never be behind a desk. It's like why I could never do anything else.

[28:37] Caleb Dicke: Because most other occupations don't allow for that.

[28:39] Tim Hughes: The community makes it easier.

[28:44] Caleb Dicke: Yeah. I always feel so lucky to be doing this as my career.

[28:48] Tim Hughes: Yeah. Well, we are so excited to see you back up on the stage.

[28:52] Elliott Mattox: By the time our listeners are hearing this, you will be opening.

[28:56] Tim Hughes: Oh my gosh. I'm basically getting ready for opening right now.

[29:02] Elliott Mattox: I know. Now, are you having a party?

[29:04] Tim Hughes: Oh, so are subject.

[29:08] Tim Hughes: The answer is we're still waiting on an invitation.

[29:11] Caleb Dicke: Oh.

[29:12] Tim Hughes: Yeah. No, I don't think there's an organized party.

[29:17] Caleb Dicke: Elliott and I just took a sip of the eggnog.

[29:19] Elliott Mattox: I know.

[29:20] Tim Hughes: We're like, well, yeah.

[29:23] Tim Hughes: Organized party, I don't know. I guess someone better have an open bar.

[29:27] Tim Hughes: Festival party that I usually throw at my apartment might be coming in Thursday night.

[29:31] Caleb Dicke: Well, we'll be living it up on your living room.
