2 minTim does a bit imagining calling his EGOT-winning distant cousin 'Bobby' (composer of Frozen, Book of Mormon, Avenue Q) to ask for musical theater tips, escalating into an absurd fake phone call.
- 36:13Cousin Bobby's musical is called Johnny, and they're looking for tips from him on the music and lyrics.
- 36:38Tim and the crew ask Bobby if he could spend a few minutes helping their musician, emphasizing he's not in Bobby's league.
- 37:07Bobby erupts, revealing he works for the kernel and ranting about human trafficking money going into Finding Nemo the musical.
- 37:35Tim pivots to asking if Bobby can get the kernel involved as an investor in their musical instead.
- 38:01Tim notes their guy could make the songs ten times better with Bobby's guidance, but acknowledges they'd have to write fake songs first.
