“Everything’s so short, so you might as well enjoy yourself.”

Lance and Ray talk with the fantastic Daniel Everidge, a Drama Desk-nominated actor/singer who's been seen on Broadway in Grease and Off-Broadway in Falling.

Daniel's currently in Found, a new musical with the Atlantic Theater Company co-starring Nick Blaemire (past L + R guest!) and Danny Pudi (Community!) at the Linda Gross Theater (336 W. 20th St) through November.

They talk about Daniel being nominated in the same category as Tom Hanks for his role as a severely autistic young man in Falling, an encounter he had with Tracy Letts, tearing his ACL onstage during a performance of Grease, and why he respects teachers so much.

Also, Daniel's performance of "Moonin'" from Grease, The 15 Favorite Movie List Your Friend Made That Confused You, and Ray and Lance talk about not drinking 40's, not sweating the small stuff, and not respecting the old lyrics to "My Favorite Things."

“I would just wanna go to Canada just so that I can not be worried about my body anymore.”

Lance and Ray talk with the lovely Tara Koett (formerly Sampson), a high school drama teacher and improviser and the FIRST CANADIAN TO EVER APPEAR ON THIS PODCAST. She can be seen with the Rapid Fire Theatre (http://rapidfiretheatre.com/) in Edmonton, Alberta.

They talk about what led her to take an improv intensive in NYC in 2011 (where she met Ray), her personal struggles with FOMO, and Canada's low crime rate and universal healthcare system.

Also, Canadian band Union Duke's "Knew It All Along," Some of Ray's Favorite Canadians, and Ray and Lance talk about Robin Williams, deep philosophical questions, and going to Canada.

“People don’t understand we don’t all look like Sofia Vergara.”

Lance and Ray talk with charming actress/comedian/writer Suni Reyes. She performs stand-up and improv all over the city, and her one-woman show Hardware Dreams was performed at the PIT and Theater for a New City. She'll be appearing at the Boston Comedy Arts Festival in September. For more info, check out: http://sunireyes.weebly.com/.

They talk about the challenges of being in New York City when her family is in Puerto Rico, her father's famous invention, how Latinas in TV and movies are still--more often than not--relegated to playing the maid or the slut, and working with Lena Dunham and Gillian Jacobs while shooting an episode for the upcoming season of Girls.

Also, Owl City's "To the Sky" (from unironic Ray favorite The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole), 15 Seconds of Exclusive Pre-Podcast Conversation Audio, and Ray and Lance talk about Lance's upcoming Ewing Jesus year and their cultural identities as, respectively, a Puerto Rican and a Jew.

Happiest 32nd birthday to Ray No-Middle-Name Muñoz!
