Hey, listeners, it's Zach here.

And I just wanted to let you know that you're about to embark on a three-part live show series

just in time for Pride Month.

Yes, June, we still celebrate Pride, even if the White House will not even tell us it's happening. For today's conversation, you're about to hear our live show in Boston at the WBUR Festival,

and it's quite, quite a show.

In this episode, you'll hear our conversation around theater. Yes,

Broadway, theater, and the tea that has been spilling out of it the past few weeks. As you probably

have heard, Petty Lepone, the very well-known Broadway performer and actor across many platforms

and formats, has had a one-sided beef with the most Tony-nominated person ever, Audra McDonald.

And that beef tells us a lot about the arts, race, gender, and power and how it all plays out today in America. And after that

conversation, we go deep into a combo that no one seems to be having, which is no one's having sex,

question mark, question mark. And by no one's having sex, question mark, question mark.

And by no one, we mean everyone besides one group.

A group, I believe, listens to the show.

So congrats, ladies.

You know who you are, and we love what you're doing.

But before we get into all of that, I just want to make a quick note and remind you that this was recorded before Pad Patty Lepone's now infamous apology to

Audra McDonald right before the Tonys.

So you're hearing a conversation in which we live in a world that Patty Lepone does not

say sorry.

However, we now live in a world in which she has said sorry once in her life.

And speaking of numbers, we also misstate the amount of Tony she has.
