12
00:00:59.759 --> 00:01:03.079
King Quat. Is that is that where you fart, Lord
13
00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.959
King Quat? No? Oh is it? Sorry? Lord park Lord
14
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.319
Farquat of Shrek Lore.
15
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:17.359
Let's do lock? Oh my god, do lock? Do lock?
16
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.159
Not good lock or dude locker, which is where you
17
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:25.640
keep your hockey equipment. So King fart Lock of Google
18
00:01:25.680 --> 00:01:27.640
Heimer is who I'm with.
19
00:01:28.239 --> 00:01:30.640
Stick to the Little Mike Tyson.
20
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:34.159
Little Little Tea in one track mic, Yeah, just stick
21
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.319
to the little Tea. Well, we got to move on
22
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:39.120
from them. But what we need to talk about is
23
00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:45.359
opening the show. This it is, this seems like a
24
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.879
lot of chaos. Can we break down what we're talking about? Yeah, okay,
25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:54.959
so you are Lord Farquat, Yes, in the Shrek Junior production.
26
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:57.079
Of the Penguin Project.
27
00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.359
Of the Penguin Project. And for those who listen last year,
28
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.120
they probably remember what the Penguin Project is. But for
29
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:07.840
our amazing new listeners, not as though our other listeners
30
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.800
aren't amazing, but for our new listeners, what is the
31
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:11.639
Penguin Project.
32
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.919
Well, the Penguin Project is a special theater organization for
33
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:20.000
people who have disabilities, like there are some people with wheelchairs,
34
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.879
some people who have autism, some people who have ADHD,
35
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:25.840
And it's a great community and they have great shows
36
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:28.039
there and the current one we're doing is Truck.
37
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.479
And what I love about the Penguin Project is the
38
00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:38.039
amount of support, oh yes, and the amount of teamwork. Yes.
39
00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:42.120
I love that it proves that everyone has a star
40
00:02:42.240 --> 00:02:46.000
that's able to shine if they're put in the right place. Yeah.
41
00:02:46.039 --> 00:02:50.400
It is such an amazing environment. There's so many like
42
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:55.199
great things, and I love just hanging out with my
43
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:59.080
friends there and it is such a safe environment and
44
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.319
it really comes together very well and I really love it.
45
00:03:03.800 --> 00:03:07.080
And so speaking of show, we are doing Shrek Junior. Yes,
46
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:09.599
And is this the first time you've done Shrek Junior?
47
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:10.080
Yes?
48
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:15.639
Okay, in fact, indeed indubitably. What about because this isn't
49
00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.280
your first show ever, You've done shows before many, what
50
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:22.759
about this one is unique?
51
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:27.000
Well? I just think that this is my first one.
52
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.319
This is the first show I've ever done that was
53
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:34.520
actually a DreamWorks movie Okay, from a Universal movie, all right?
54
00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:38.319
And the other ones you've done have been jezz.
55
00:03:38.639 --> 00:03:42.719
Yeah, Like well the one, the Lego movie one. If
56
00:03:42.759 --> 00:03:44.639
we're counting that, that was Warner Brothers.
57
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.319
I think we should count that because you did do it.
58
00:03:48.319 --> 00:03:51.800
But it's now owned by Universal, gotcha.
59
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:56.840
So that's one of those tism sort of technicalities. Yeah, Okay,
60
00:03:56.840 --> 00:03:58.759
that's fair. I mean, but like that's that's kind of
61
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:01.199
like there's six companies that own like eighty five percent
62
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.400
of everything. Yeah, So even if it's a subsidiary or
63
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:11.039
subsidy subsidiary, even if it's own yeah, subspace substack, we
64
00:04:11.039 --> 00:04:14.319
were going off the rails. Even if it's in Susquehanna,
65
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.920
it's it's still owned by like Nesley. Yes, delicious, but
66
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:21.199
not as good as hershey, or as good as this
67
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.759
production so beyond it just being owned by a different
68
00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:31.199
rights holder, Do you have two people helping you out? Actually, yeah,
69
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:35.240
because we've had Louis, who we've sang its praises for
70
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:37.720
about a year or so now. But but someone else
71
00:04:37.759 --> 00:04:40.319
has entered the chat. Oh, yes, and who is this someone?
72
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:41.319
It is Kai?
73
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:42.360
And tell you about Kai?
74
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:47.199
Well, Kai is very gray, he's another mentor is he
75
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:48.000
from Ninjago?
76
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.680
That's a different kind different kin I think of I
77
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:52.560
think of Ninjago.
78
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.240
He doesn't know a fire, he doesn't knowsu.
79
00:04:55.519 --> 00:04:58.079
And then I think of my friend Jay, who looks
80
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.519
like a character from Ninja, who also is called Jay,
81
00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:04.639
who has a guitar, and j plays the guitar. But
82
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.079
Kai is not in Ninjago. Correct, Yeah, we know of yes,
83
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:12.040
so we can confirm that we're not sure. But if
84
00:05:12.079 --> 00:05:16.399
he is in Ninjago, he's hiding it. Well, there have
85
00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.720
been no Ninja attacks or battles at the theater, correct, no, okay?
86
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:23.839
And then I think the story checks out. So how
87
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:26.160
do how do Kai and Louis kind of like tag
88
00:05:26.199 --> 00:05:26.519
team this?
89
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:27.160
Well?
90
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:33.920
Kai is well, I think, if I remember correctly, Louis
91
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.920
does the lines, okay, and Kai does the putting me
92
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:38.399
in the.
93
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.920
Right area, like he got like double support. So you've
94
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:47.600
got the production support from Kai, like the stock, the stocking,
95
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:51.759
the blocking, and the staging come together. It's the stalking, uh,
96
00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.600
and then you've got Louie's helping you with remembering the
97
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.759
lines and things like that. Yes, that is legit. Now
98
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.399
is this Kai's first production in general or first time
99
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:03.480
working with you, first.
100
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:07.360
Time working with me? He's done like he did like
101
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:11.480
Penguin Project is not the only theater group there, okay,
102
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.600
because that that theater also has other shows produced by
103
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.879
like I think might be the same people directing it.
104
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.000
Yeah, but that's.
105
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:24.439
Where Louis did the UH, Alice in Wonderland.
106
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.560
Junior show, Ruth and this tweedle something.
107
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:32.600
Yes, and Kai does lighting. He did lighting, Yeah, he
108
00:06:32.639 --> 00:06:34.959
did lighting for that one.
109
00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:35.680
I think he did.
110
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:38.600
Lighting for Chicago, and he did lightning for Sweeney Todd.
111
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.319
Nice. I've never seen Chicago or Sweeney Todd.
112
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:45.480
But then search up a map of the USA, then
113
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:46.000
you'll see it.
114
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.680
Well, I was going to go even deeper. I was
115
00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:51.000
going to go. So there's a thing called DVD's that
116
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.360
were popular and I used to work at a Hollywood
117
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:57.639
video and the musical Chicago had come out with Queen
118
00:06:57.720 --> 00:07:03.839
Latifa not an actual queen though, so unlike Fiona, who
119
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.560
is an actual queen. Right somewhat, okay, somewhat.
120
00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.959
She was a princess then married someone who wasn't a prince.
121
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.759
Okay, I'm not sure how does that work? Like if
122
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:17.040
we go to Princey Jackson Princey Percy Jackson law is
123
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:18.639
like Fiona half blood then.
124
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:20.800
Not?
125
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:21.920
No?
126
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:32.680
Okay, wrong subject, we talk about fart lord. Okay, so
127
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:38.120
far quad, So you do great with comedic deliveries. I'm
128
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.639
assuming that's how you got this role.
129
00:07:40.639 --> 00:07:45.600
Yes, cause if if you know something about theater, me
130
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.720
in theater. I love producing comedy into the theater. You
131
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:53.120
do you think everyone just an extra laugh, something relatable
132
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:54.079
to laugh along?
133
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:57.240
You put jokes on Mike's Yes. Something you like to
134
00:07:57.240 --> 00:07:58.480
do is something you find nice?
135
00:07:59.000 --> 00:07:59.319
Yes?
136
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:02.639
I love it? You know also find nice? Is how
137
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.279
much work you've put in? Is this the most lines
138
00:08:06.319 --> 00:08:07.639
you've had in a production?
139
00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:08.160
No?
140
00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:10.720
Actually, what he was like ninety six?
141
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:14.160
Okay? This is like I love. I love the autistic answer.
142
00:08:14.199 --> 00:08:16.399
I know exactly how many lines I have.
143
00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.079
I think what he was like ninety six okay, maybe
144
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.360
fair maybe one hundred, I'm not sure.
145
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:26.839
But maybe eighty seven maybe okay, which would.
146
00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:30.839
Be great because yay, I love hockey.
147
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.720
Yeah, as a I guess that could be a random
148
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:37.120
Crosby reference. But let's pull it back, let's not. Let's
149
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:39.240
let's not let the ADHD get the best of us
150
00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.399
so far quat Yes, making people laugh, Yes, being a
151
00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:47.120
little shorter than most. Now are you standing up? Are
152
00:08:47.120 --> 00:08:47.840
you on your knees?
153
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.360
I'm actually oh, sorry for saying, actually I am standing up?
154
00:08:51.480 --> 00:08:52.080
Standing up?
155
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:52.559
Yes?
156
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:54.799
Okay? Is just everyone taller around you?
157
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:55.399
Yes?
158
00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:57.799
Are they standing on blocks like little yoga blocks? Just
159
00:08:57.840 --> 00:09:02.759
walking around like some makeshift still? Okay? But I didn't
160
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:04.440
know if Kay was an engineer too. I know he
161
00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:06.039
does lighting, I didn't know if he was an engineer.
162
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:09.559
He's a driver's license I thing.
163
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.679
Okay, that's an engineer and someone who has a driver's
164
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:19.840
license very similar. There is some overlap, there's some responsibility there. Yeah.
165
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:24.799
Yeah, I really love Penguin Project. Yeah, it is so
166
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.799
much fun to be in this show, getting to just
167
00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:32.360
relate with people who also have some disabilities, and it's
168
00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:34.559
just great to be in that type of community.
169
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:40.039
Now, what about theater Penguin Project is different than the
170
00:09:40.039 --> 00:09:42.240
community you have with athletics.
171
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:47.039
Wow, this is more of theater and more singing, and
172
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:52.159
there is usually a lot more like I don't know
173
00:09:52.159 --> 00:09:55.559
how to put it. It's still something great.
174
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.600
See, I would say from the outsider's perspective, I don't
175
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:03.320
want to say it seems like you might have more downtime,
176
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:05.840
but I almost feel like you might have more downtime
177
00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:11.440
to actually talk and connect between because like when when
178
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:15.840
you're doing theater and it's not your your act or
179
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:18.559
your scene, yeah, you could probably just talk with friends
180
00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:21.080
and hang out. Yeah, Whereas even if you're not on
181
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:22.919
the ice, you still kind of have to pay attention
182
00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.120
to what's going on because you could be called at
183
00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:28.399
any time. Yeah, Unlike in the middle of something that's
184
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.840
not your scene, right, Yeah, Like there's not I can't
185
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:35.279
imagine a moment where like Gingy is talking to Shrek
186
00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:37.399
and all of a sudden they're like, fark what get
187
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.000
out here? And you're like, it's not even my scene.
188
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.200
They're like, doesn't matter, go put your home and on
189
00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:43.000
go And you're like, why does Farquad have a helmet?
190
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:45.360
And why is you have skates? It it's all a
191
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:50.240
frozen swamp when the world's going on, and so I
192
00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:52.480
can't imagine that happening, can you?
193
00:10:56.000 --> 00:10:56.720
No?
194
00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:04.519
No, okay, I mean crazier things have happened, right, Yes,
195
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:07.279
If Buddy the elf can play ice hockey, why can't
196
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:12.279
Farquat Right.
197
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:14.759
Might be a little too short.
198
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:20.039
Of patients, short on patients, yes, short on ability, short
199
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:24.200
on foresight. Oh could you imagine if whenever they broke
200
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:27.159
Ginger's legs they use him as the puck. Oh no,
201
00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:30.919
this is deteriorating. Do not use Gingy as a puck.
202
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:34.440
We do not advocate for delicious desserts to be used
203
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:39.159
as talks. Do not torture desserts. That is a good point.
204
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:42.600
But back to this, like, what else do you think
205
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:47.039
is different between this experience and your your special Olympic
206
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:48.120
stuff and things like that.
207
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.840
Well, there's yeah, I do like agree. I do agree
208
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.279
with the a lot more downtime. Yeah, yeah, this is
209
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.360
really nice. Shout out to Noah, he's such a good friend.
210
00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:03.720
Shout out no yeah, he's so great. He actually plays
211
00:12:04.080 --> 00:12:07.879
my dad in this show because in one of the scenes.
212
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:12.120
Is an engineer years old. I don't know.
213
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.679
Okay, Well, anyway, who's your dad?
214
00:12:14.679 --> 00:12:17.480
I don't know, so in the show.
215
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:24.759
Yeah, it's amazing, he's my dad in that scene. It's
216
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:26.600
the wedding scene. You'll be able to see it.
217
00:12:26.720 --> 00:12:31.000
Yeah, we're in between shows, so my my show of
218
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:34.519
attendance will come up tomorrow. You've already had opening night,
219
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:39.919
You've already eaten chicken because of it. Yes, you've got friends.
220
00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:43.600
Are there any other ways? It's different other than the
221
00:12:43.639 --> 00:12:47.559
actual difference of athletics versus theater.
222
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:55.039
Well, like saying like, but at the beginning of the practices,
223
00:12:55.799 --> 00:13:00.759
we usually drive up early and then Noah's you, they're
224
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:03.720
playing Uno or something. Then we just get to hang
225
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:04.200
out a long.
226
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:04.799
Yeah.
227
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:06.879
You get to learn more about people and it's just
228
00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:07.600
really fun.
229
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.480
And I think that's a great example of what I
230
00:13:10.519 --> 00:13:13.080
mean by downtime, because when you're getting dressed in the
231
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:15.639
locker room, like, you've got to stay focused because you've
232
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:18.120
got to get on the ice. Yeah, whereas we do,
233
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:20.480
like we take you early because you've got some really
234
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.679
cool friends to hang out with. And I just don't
235
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:25.600
think you get that with the special needs athletics stuff.
236
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.639
But I also not trying to put shame on it, no, no,
237
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.879
but that's right, like looking at it through the lens
238
00:13:31.919 --> 00:13:36.039
of Christianity. Right, we're the body. If we were all hands,
239
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:39.559
then we'd have a hard time walking around. So the
240
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:41.360
hands do what the hands do, the feet does what
241
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:43.159
the feet does, the back does what the back does.
242
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:47.159
I feel like theater brings out a side of you
243
00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:51.720
that's very healthy. I think it articulates you well. I
244
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.799
think it helps you communicate. I think it edifies the
245
00:13:55.240 --> 00:14:01.039
comedian in you. Whereas with Special Olympics and Asha, you
246
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:04.720
get that rambunctious energy out you get to use that
247
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:08.879
adds the ad d zoomies. You get to have that
248
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.639
opportunity where you know, you're running around on the ice
249
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.679
for three minutes, it's like, well, why why wouldn't you?
250
00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:19.000
But if you're running around for three minutes in the
251
00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:21.080
middle of your scene, it's like, fart, lord, what are
252
00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:23.600
you doing? Like what are we what are we doing? For?
253
00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.559
What are we doing here? Star Fruit? I don't even know?
254
00:14:34.559 --> 00:14:38.080
So And you're right, like, this isn't for the sake
255
00:14:38.120 --> 00:14:40.120
of throwing shade. This is for the sake of saying
256
00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.639
like I think, in and of themselves, they fulfill really
257
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:49.879
different needs in the community. But They're really amazing because
258
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:55.360
it like most people, we're multi layered, Like you can
259
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:58.039
be as much of a community in right, you're you're
260
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:04.639
all what ogres are like onions, like ers are like ogres,
261
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:10.240
wait urgers are like onions onions, and onions are like zucchinis,
262
00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:12.080
and zucchinis are like what's for dinner.
263
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.759
The donkey just intervenes with like, hey, I don't like onions.
264
00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:21.039
I like parfes or moves parfes. I actually don't, sorry donkey.
265
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.879
But if Donkey's wife rafts, does Donkey go ooh that's
266
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:34.840
fire batoom fatah and so right? But like, if you
267
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:37.279
were comedic at hockey, people would think you're not taking
268
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:40.000
it seriously. Oh yeah, And if you were too serious
269
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:42.080
in a comedic role, people would think that you're not
270
00:15:42.120 --> 00:15:45.399
getting it right. So I I agree. I love that
271
00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:47.679
you have an interest in theater. I love that you
272
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:50.159
have an interest in sports. I love that you have
273
00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:52.480
an interest in academics. I love to have an interest
274
00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.080
in video games. I just love you, man. I think
275
00:15:55.080 --> 00:15:55.879
you're a great dude.
276
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.480
And I love everyone who listens to this podcast and
277
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.600
everyone in this world, because everyone has some talent and
278
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:05.840
even if they don't think they have talent, You guys
279
00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.360
all have talent. You guys are all awesome.
280
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:11.480
That's actually true. I think everyone has talent and those
281
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:14.879
who feel like they don't have talent just have not
282
00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:19.080
found the right place to utilize their talent. I mean,
283
00:16:19.080 --> 00:16:25.279
it probably took me thirty years to find the perfect
284
00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.320
job for me, and the job I have requires like
285
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:31.879
a smidge of talent. Is it's a very unique skill set.
286
00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.000
It nique skill it is, but it's it's appropriate for
287
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.879
what it is and right. And there's other people who
288
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:43.720
write like there's there's some teachers who have a lot
289
00:16:43.720 --> 00:16:46.480
of patience and that's amazing, and then there's other teachers
290
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:48.559
who don't have a lot of patients but are really
291
00:16:48.559 --> 00:16:51.600
good at holding people accountable. And there's room for everyone.
292
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:54.200
And I think that's what's great about the Penguin Project
293
00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:59.799
is it shows there's talent out there in everyone, and
294
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:01.799
the Penguin Project, I think does a great job of
295
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:04.599
bringing that out of everyone. Yeah, and really putting the
296
00:17:04.599 --> 00:17:09.720
spotlight upon intended on those who deserve an opportunity who
297
00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:10.480
might not get it.
298
00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:14.000
Elsewise, because everyone deserves a chance to fly and shine
299
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.359
good because it's a musical too.
300
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:22.279
Oh nice, that was a deep cut. Speaking of deep cuts,
301
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:28.440
a neuro FM deep cut is known as the fun
302
00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:31.000
fact of the day. What do you have for us?
303
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:36.880
All right? Did you know that the first Lego product
304
00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:38.799
ever created was a wooden duck?
305
00:17:39.039 --> 00:17:42.160
A wooden duck and like not a rubber one. So
306
00:17:42.359 --> 00:17:44.279
Lego does not make floatation devices.
307
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:48.759
Well, they have made floating Lego pieces. Another fun fact.
308
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:51.359
Okay, that's true. Like when I was your age, I
309
00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:55.880
had a Lego ship and it it it It did
310
00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:58.759
float until it took on water and then it sank.
311
00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.119
So so for the first five minutes it was definitely
312
00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.720
a ship, and then for the rest of its duration
313
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:10.440
it was an unintended submarine. Yeah, but so so wooden ducks.
314
00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:15.799
Yes, then the first Now this is the final phone fact,
315
00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.759
not fantastic final, but hey whatever.
316
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:29.759
Float your boat or your wooden duck. Probably made a cedar, good,
317
00:18:29.799 --> 00:18:32.200
a good poplar, maybe some press board. I don't know
318
00:18:32.920 --> 00:18:37.440
what is it? Is Lego from Scandinavia, No, it's from Denmark. Denmark.
319
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:38.400
Another fact?
320
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.920
What kind of wood do they have in Denmark? Like
321
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:44.279
the den trees? I don't know the trees of gargoyles.
322
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:46.519
I don't know, I don't know.
323
00:18:46.680 --> 00:18:49.200
But the final fun facts.
324
00:18:49.039 --> 00:18:50.240
Yeah, the triple f as you.
325
00:18:50.200 --> 00:18:55.559
Said, yes, it is the first female mini figure was
326
00:18:55.599 --> 00:18:56.079
a nurse.
327
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:59.440
Huh. I had no idea.
328
00:18:59.519 --> 00:19:01.960
Neither the yeah until now.
329
00:19:02.240 --> 00:19:08.079
Okay, so even you didn't know. Yeah, crazy, this is
330
00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.720
going off the rails. You know what? Why are you sorry?
331
00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.000
I don't know of an episode we've done that stayed
332
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:16.759
on the rails. This is kind of our thing, you're right.
333
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.640
Unlike theater, this is not scripted. No, and we don't
334
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:27.759
know what star Lord is gonna say, so we should
335
00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:32.000
and with a nice final word, what's the how do
336
00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:37.960
you want to end us here? Goodbye, goodbye, good night
337
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.480
