0:00.0	All right, everybody. Welcome to the musical-splaining podcast. I am your host and sixth-worldly
0:13.8	vegetarian. That's topical. And I'm just guest penis every single time. I haven't seen
0:19.8	a guest from there. Has it worked yet? I've been playing it as long. Has that ever been
0:23.8	the word? It's never been the word as far as I know. The day that I don't play, it'll
0:27.6	be the day that penis is the word of the day. I know. It's not going to be a penis thing
0:34.1	anymore. There's no chances of that happening. I know. The New York Times is going to take
0:37.5	all the fun out of a five-letter guessing game. Name. Anyway, today, I don't know if I was
0:46.6	going to say speaking of penises because that's a really weird transition. I have no idea
0:51.1	actually it could be. That remains to be seen. All I'm going to say is actually now that
0:58.5	I think about it. Okay, great. We're here to talk about into the woods today. This is something

1:23.6	Yes. I know a lot of people in general have been really wanting, not just on time, but into
1:27.9	the woods. I think just based off the reaction we've had to the Joseph episode, into the woods
1:33.0	kind of hits a lot of the same emotional touchstones that a lot of people have expressed online,
1:39.5	like that they've done a performance of it, that it's been one of their favorite shows since they
1:43.4	were a kid that like it has a very special place in their heart that has carried over to adulthood,
1:51.3	which it's actually very funny for me because I did not experience into the woods as a child really.
1:58.1	I think I talked about it on the Sweeney Todd episode, but like Sweeney Todd was my first real
2:01.8	introduction into like Steven Sondheim. I love the West Side story. That was mine, right? Yeah.
2:07.3	Right. That was when I was 17. I thought that cast album was blown away by it.
