00:00All right, you just put out a cover of Taylor Swift's Back to December.

00:05It went very viral because you guys did it at Soundcheck.

00:08I'm not sure if you're taking requests for, like, what the next cover are you going to be.

00:10What's next? Come on. What do we got to do?

00:12What do we got?

00:12Wicked.

00:13Obviously.

00:14Oh, Define Gravity would go crazy.

00:16Right?

00:16Define Gravity.

00:19That's what I put on that, really.

00:20I know.

00:21What is the thing she does at the end?

00:22Did you watch the movie?

00:24I watched it.

00:25I'm so cheap.

00:26I rented it for, like, $19.99 when it came out.

00:28I watched it at least eight times in the 48-hour window.

00:31Did you really?

00:32I bought it because I was like, how many times am I going to rent it?

00:34I still have not seen it.

00:35Oh, my God.

00:35I know.

00:36I'm done with you.

00:38I got four kids.

00:38I was too busy watching Zootopia 2.

00:40Yeah.

00:41I just had to keep getting the reps in because I was like, I spent money on this.

00:45Like, I'm going to watch.

00:45It was amazing, though.

00:46I got chills in that moment.

00:47Bring him over and trap him in the house.

00:49I'll do it.

00:50Come over to kind of local.

00:50Then I'll Venmo him for half the rental fee for sure.

00:53100%.

00:53This is going to work out so well.

00:54I've never got to see it.

00:55I want to see the musical, too, like On Driveway.

00:58I never got to see it because I didn't like I never, you know, my first musical was in

01:02like 2014 probably.

01:04What was it?

01:05My very first one, I think, was actually Hamilton.

01:07And I went and watched it with my wife on our anniversary.

01:09It's a high bar.

01:10We went to watch Dear Evan Hansen like seven times a day.

01:13That's like the only two I've seen is Hamilton and Dear Evan Hansen.

01:16I think I saw one other.

01:17You've probably seen all the original cast being from New York, right?

01:20No, I never got to see the original cast of that, which is really, really sad.

01:25I've seen Wicked more times than like anything else, which is crazy, but no, the movie's so

01:29good.

01:29You have to watch it.

01:30The kids might even enjoy it.

01:32Would you think that I should see the play first?

01:35If you can't see the play first, just listen to the music.

01:38Okay, this isn't like a Harry Potter situation.

01:40Like the books are better.

01:41The movie is really sick.

01:42The movie is fantastic.

01:44You can watch that.

01:45We inducted our friend Ashley Gorley into the Songwriters Hall of Fame this year.

01:48And Stephen Schwartz was getting an award, and Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth did

01:52a Wicked song.

01:53So sick.

01:53Did you lose your mind?

01:54Oh, I was going crazy.

01:55Adele Dazeem.

01:56Adele Dazeem.

01:57John Travolta.

01:58Yeah.

01:58Nicolas Cage.

02:00Is that who it was?

02:01It was Nick Cage that did it?

02:02No, it's a Face Off joke.

02:04That one's way down the road.

02:06Have you ever seen Face Off?

02:07Because I feel like this needs to be explained.

02:08You haven't seen Face Off?

02:10The premise of the movie is John Travolta and Nicolas Cage.

02:14And in the movie, they do basically one guy's bad, one guy's good, and he does a face switch.

02:19Surgically removes his face.

02:20And so in order to protect his identity, he also switches his face.

02:23And so then it becomes like Nick Cage is playing his character.

02:27We created this concept called Acting Era.

02:29It's one of the craziest feats in acting history because Nicolas Cage is playing John

02:33Travolta acting as him, but he's actually acting as himself.

02:37So he has to act as if somebody got their face.

02:40But you know what I'm saying?

02:40This is so meta.

02:41It's wild.

02:42I hate it, Charlie, man.

02:43We're not on drugs, I swear.

02:44I'm going to watch Face Off, and you're going to watch Wicked, and then we'll reconvene.

02:47We're being told to wrap it up.

02:48Y'all got to clip the Face Off thing.

02:49You got to clip the Face Off because here's one time we were actually at this party.

02:52You know, you know.

02:53We went to this party, and Nicolas Cage was there.

02:55And I almost did it.

02:58I didn't do it.

02:59But I wanted to walk up and be like, John Travolta.

03:04No one would have thought it was funny except for Dan and I.

03:07He would have either been like, I think he would have loved it.

03:09That's my guy.

03:09He goes, here's my cell phone number.

03:11You know what I mean?

03:11I feel like he'd love it.

03:12Maybe.

03:13And then you would have helped him steal the Constitution of the United States.

03:16Awesome.

03:16This was the best chat we had all day.

03:17Yes, it was.

03:18This is fantastic.

03:18See me with Dan Chase.

03:20Nominated.

03:20Congratulations.

03:22Fun times.

03:22All right.
