[1:06] Heather Bedor: Just so abruptly ends. Look at this whole craziness, my goodness. All right, we're just gonna go with this weird studio space tonight. I'm gonna bring Marc in. Hi, buddy.

[1:16] Marc Benanti: Hey.

[1:17] Heather Bedor: It's like Evie Muxx did an update and didn't tell me anything about it. So we're just gonna have a fun, weird tech night tonight. Which is exciting, because why not? Bit by bit, putting it together. I'm gonna try. I'm sure I'm gonna try. I was just telling you, I'm just in the hospital.

[1:33] Marc Benanti: Yeah, my goodness.

[1:36] Heather Bedor: I have two sprained ankles.

[1:38] Marc Benanti: Two sprained ankles.

[1:40] Heather Bedor: I went to Hallow's Cream Saturday, and I don't get scared. Like, clearly, with our incredible guest tonight. I love the strange and macabre and spooky, but realistically...

[1:46] Marc Benanti: You yourself are strange and unusual.

[1:53] Heather Bedor: Yeah, yes, I am. I sure am. My goodness. All right. So, I want to make sure you can hear me, I can hear me. I hope that Brian can hear us. He's looking so handsome. All right. Hi, everybody. Welcome to the Broadway Fan Club Podcast. I am your clumsy host, Heather. And joining me is the beautiful Marc Benanti.

[2:19] Marc Benanti: No, wait. Switch those.

[2:22] Heather Bedor: Do you feel pretty? Reverse it. But yeah, so I was walking out of this haunted house, which was really cool looking, and it was outdoors. And I stepped with my flip-flop, and it was half pavement, half grass. But it was not stabilized fake grass, and I rolled my ankle. And then I rolled my other foot.

[2:40] Marc Benanti: Oh, my goodness.

[2:45] Heather Bedor: And I fell on my ass.

[2:47] Marc Benanti: Oh.

[2:48] Heather Bedor: And this character has a chainsaw and a giant pumpkin head that looks like a pig.

[2:53] Marc Benanti: Oh.

[2:54] Heather Bedor: Oh, yeah. It was something else. Wow. But I know. How was your weekend?

[3:01] Marc Benanti: My weekend was we had a block party.

[3:07] Heather Bedor: Something happened.

[3:08] Marc Benanti: We had our block party on Saturday, so that was a lot of fun.

[3:11] Heather Bedor: That's cool.

[3:13] Marc Benanti: Yeah, it's weird, you know, to be in New York City, but also feel like, I mean, I live in Brooklyn, but, you know, like a community feeling.

[3:19] Heather Bedor: The real New York City.

[3:20] Marc Benanti: Because I grew up in Southern California on a cul-de-sac.

[3:22] Heather Bedor: Right.

[3:23] Marc Benanti: So, you know, a block was sort of inherent, but, you know, I didn't really feel that here in the city until I moved here to Brooklyn.

[3:29] Heather Bedor: Sure.

[3:30] Marc Benanti: So that was fun, and then birthday parties. And then I saw a show called After All These Years at AMT off Broadway.

[3:39] Heather Bedor: It's a review of the work of Al Tapper, who has written several shows, none of them too well known, but, you know.

[3:48] Marc Benanti: Okay.

[3:49] Heather Bedor: Okay. So that was good. Got some schmackeries, so it's all good.

[3:52] Marc Benanti: Oh, so one of my best friends picked up schmackeries for me. I texted Johnny, because when Brian bought me back my favorite cookie, Earl of Chocolate, Johnny was supposed to remind me when it was coming out.

[4:05] Heather Bedor: And I texted Johnny, and I sent him a picture. I said, so much for telling me that my favorite cookie was stock.

[4:11] Marc Benanti: Right.

[4:12] Heather Bedor: That's so funny. I was there, and it was the Earl of.

[4:15] Marc Benanti: Earl of Chocolate.

[4:16] Heather Bedor: Earl of Chocolate. Earl of Chocolate. And I was like, somebody was saying that that was their favorite.

[4:21] Marc Benanti: Me.

[4:22] Heather Bedor: Who was that? It was you. It's so good. It's literally sitting in my microwave, because I don't want to put it in the fridge.

[4:28] Marc Benanti: Which reminds me, I bought myself two of mine.

[4:30] Heather Bedor: I have another one. I have a schmackeries waiting for me after this recording.

[4:33] Marc Benanti: I'm so excited for you. You know what was waiting for me after our last episode?

[4:38] Heather Bedor: Ooh, what?

[4:39] Marc Benanti: Do you remember I told you we have these incredible sponsors?

[4:42] Heather Bedor: Oh, my gosh.

[4:43] Marc Benanti: Did you get one of the frames?

[4:45] Heather Bedor: I got three. So I'm putting their information on the bottom of the screen, everybody.
