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
I was looking at that too! Like his content is so great let me check in on his subscribers and it has SHOT UP drastically, though not surprisingly. Can’t think of anyone more deserving.
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 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-!
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”
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…)
Was Russell talking about the toddler that got attacked by an alligator in Disney World? I tried to find one with a ride invovled, but this kept coming up.
Wait...gay, white guy that constantly sings and brakes his back and it's L5S1?!?! Constantine is my better looking and more talented twin!!! Yaaaaassss queen!
I agree with the big name actor thing like Ryan Reynolds I don’t want Mint Mobile so stop showing on my phones TH-cam 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.
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.
The nonsense that Constantine and Russell pull towards the end is appalling. So because the guest is a fan of Celine Dion, it is verboten to even suggest anything uncomplimentary about Celine Dion? Awful, especially on Russell's part.

The only reason to watch instead of listen is to see the evolution of Gianmarco's sitting position on this tiny couch
It's even funner in the summertime. That's when the outfits are riskier. 😭
Omg I'm having a mild heart attack listening to Russell's elevator story😅
The fact that he got back on it?!?! There’s no food in the world that would get me back into that elevator
I like that the calendar in the back is wrong for when this was posted and also wrong for when this was recorded 😂 Makes my adhd heart happy lol
Russel is such a good story teller! I feel bad but I that elevator story was hilarious.
Connie is fun. Hanging out with him was awesome. A fan night shoiud be a prize.
always here for the shop talk for performers of all kinds! its always entertaining!

Maia Shulman is the person who fell and sued Wicked. She’s currently an Admissions Director at a school
Constantine's Taylor Swift take at the end, loved it 😂
Same, he became my new favorite person for that TSwift critique. Swifties becoming as bad as the beyhive once was.
Beyoncé is WAY better.
I missed Russell. His storytelling always cracks me tf up !! 😂😂 6:42
Sidenote: Constantine’s hot 😳
9:15 - russell getting back on the elevator after all that is MADNESS (or extreme laziness)
Exactly. That cart is dead to me
If the theater kids at my college looked like him, I'd have tried out for more shit.
My favourite episode so far. I was crying at the butter pasta 🍝
Loved this! Gianmarco, you are an honorary Greek, my friend. Opa! ❤
Omg, 709k subscribers! You'll definitely reach 1mil very soon. Congrats in advance!!!
I was looking at that too! Like his content is so great let me check in on his subscribers and it has SHOT UP drastically, though not surprisingly. Can’t think of anyone more deserving.
How tf is Constantine *single* ??? He is GORGEOUS!
I'm usually not squeamish but the thought of a bowl of pasta and butter-parasite peeking/crawling out- oof.

Oh Constantine was so right with the taylor draggings, hes brave and beautiful

The schmegle part had me gagging so loud 😂😂
I worked at disney. If you get injured.in the park you get a lifetime pass and free hotels etc. At least in 2002.
This podcast is really about growth 🤙
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 dont know much about theater but I really enjoy y'alls theater heavy discourse episodes
Is everything ok Gianmarco that’s a small couch? 😂❤
The Gay Gangs of Spring Awakening... inevitable yet always surprising, terrifying, heartwarming
we're all thankfull for Chriss Maloney!!!! and he got it ALL y'all!!!
Constantine is a Broadway Queen? I’m sat.
56:51 opened up the podcast at this time right after i got back from spraining my ankle an hour ago 😎😎

This was so funny! I’m so glad I saw this 😂
I laughed throughout that whole elevator story 🤣
Was Russell talking about the toddler that got attacked by an alligator in Disney World? I tried to find one with a ride invovled, but this kept coming up.
also my elevator has been on the fritz lately too 😳 ive started taking the stairs im
so scared of getting stuck
I have no interest in joke structure, and I still watch the episodes about joke structure. I love the theatre heavy episodes.
Great ep!
Connie, I totally agree with you about Chris Meloni! WOOF!
Very entertaining episode, but the weird positioning of this round shelf in the background is really distracting
If Russell had his cell why not call 911 😭
Connie should be thankful for being born as he waa .
It was the producer of Spider-Man (Broadway show)Tony Adams who died of a stroke.
ok. i am in love.
Wait...gay, white guy that constantly sings and brakes his back and it's L5S1?!?! Constantine is my better looking and more talented twin!!! Yaaaaassss queen!
engagement comment ive barely even started the ep
Alright can we always have a segment with Russell singing Taylor Swift?
Omg, this Constantine guy is sexy. I love his teeth
Ah yes, the cooking the lamb outside! My ex bosses were doing it all the time!
Damn I was so excited for Russels new repeated understudy role announced last episode :_(.
Gianmarco calls Epidemiology "a trend" its hilarious"
Greek? More like Greek God. ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ the Gay Musical version when?
What did he say at 1:02:56? ...LMAO
Who is the new producer?
I think Russell was probably right about cutting all that scatological stuff...
I remember when the Chris Meloni ass-renaissance hit Tumblr.

Hey. I was born a troll we need love too.what about family love.
The nonsense that Constantine and Russell pull towards the end is appalling. So because the guest is a fan of Celine Dion, it is verboten to even suggest anything uncomplimentary about Celine Dion? Awful, especially on Russell's part.
