  • Broadway’s Constantine Rousouli joins us to share the downsides of singing "Dancing Through Life" with a thick Jersey accent for Rihanna for the chance to go backstage at Wicked, picking Hairspray over college, the flying monkey ensemble member who fell from a rope and was never heard from again, how to get a parasite out of you using only spaghetti, and why str*ight girls must be stopped. Russell also shares the story about how he got stuck in an elevator for forty minutes where only a baby could hear his screams.

    More about Gianmarco:
    Gianmarco Soresi is a stand-up comedian, actor, and a little too much for some people. He’s told jokes on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Comedy Central, Netflix’s Bonding, Don’t Tell, The Real Housewives of New York for some reason, and he was a JFL New Face in 2022. He’s acted in Billy Crystal’s Here Today, Hustlers, The Last OG, and in his theater days shared the stage with some people who’ve gone on to become huge real estate agents. You can see him post the kind of crowdwork clips that are arguably destroying the artform of stand-up comedy everywhere @gianmarcosoresi and he obviously has a podcast called The Downside with Gianmarco Soresi.🎤

    The only reason to watch instead of listen is to see the evolution of Gianmarco's sitting position on this tiny couch

    abput the wicked accident:
    in the revival (non-replica) in Brazil, a bunch of mishaps were occurring with the sets and timing and people almost got really hurt from huge things coming down on them. The cast got together to ask for a safety review meeting and those who were in the frontline of it, got fired without explanation

    9:15 - russell getting back on the elevator after all that is MADNESS (or extreme laziness)

    Re: Disney getting litigious, my mom told me about something that happened to me when I was 3 years old. (I have no memory of this, lol)
    We were at the Magic Kingdom, and I was playing at one of those things where they shoot water out of the ground. I was running around, not looking where I was going, and I bumped into another kid.
    I fall back and bump my head, and for a sec my folks are worried I’ve hurt myself. (I was fine, just shaken up.) Apparently, three dudes in suits turn up out of nowhere and start asking if we’re gonna sue. Like, the SECOND I hit the ground. My mom rolled her eyes and shooed them away.
    So they must get taken to court more often than we think, because from what I was told, these lawyers were *sweating*. (Again, I was fine, just a little bump.)

    I’m the type of guy who’ll be dripping with sweat visiting someone thinking about what if they open the door too soon, what greeting do I go with, should I even be here… then get stuck in the elevator and be like “thank god”

    I volunteered in a small hospital in the country when I was 15 and there was a custodian that had issues and he used to follow me around and really creeped me out and I got stuck in the elevator with him one day and I was only in there for like 5 minutes but I was in an all out panic. This totally brought that all back-!

    The Giardia story was funny to anyone who has never actually had Giardia. Nah, it’s still funny but the Giardia shits are really not - I’m surprised he was able to hit the tray without spraying it everywhere! 😬 Think “assplosions.”
    TMI but wait, there’s more!
    Giardia is in lots of our rivers and streams because it gets spread via deer and other mammal shits. So basically Constantine may have actually gotten it from remote-eating a deer ass. 😅 (Or pick the ass of your choice…)

    I agree with the big name actor thing like Ryan Reynolds I don’t want Mint Mobile so stop showing on my phones CZcams ads like a Steve Jobs impersonator or the Rock trying to get you to invest using the Acorns app he’s invested in making money from like geez people lol. I also agree on the Taylor Swift opinion I don’t even think she’s a good song writer but I also don’t like her voice so I don’t listen to much of her music. Beyoncé is way better than Taylor Swift if your comparing the two.

    • @frostfang1
      @frostfang1 Před 4 měsíci

      Swifts like chocolate, neat and appealing to everyone but Swifties act like she's a musical genius that invented pop. Chocolates great but it came from a bean, like its not that complex or inspired. That's why I get tired of hearing about her, not because I dislike her music and I don't think shes some evil villianess.
