It is the great Rachel Dratch, my friend for almost 30 years, and America's favorite. And we are going to talk about so much good stuff. We're going to talk about growing up in Massachusetts. We're going to talk about our love for the musical Annie. And we're going to go behind the music and do a deep dive into the world-famous clip that kicked this podcast off and that has kept us laughing ever since. So, get ready for a great interview. Before we start, we always like to talk to someone who knows our guest, is a fan of our guest, has a question that they want to give me. And I'm very excited to talk to Kevin Kahoon today. Kevin is a dear friend of Rachel. He is an incredible actor, musical, theater, pro, Tony nominated for The Great Musical Shucked. And you can catch him in a million other things. And Kevin is zooming in to get things started. Kevin, hi. This episode is presented to you by Paul Mollive. Some of the best memories you'll ever make are around the dinner table.

That's a good hang right there. That is for listeners. I've had a few margaritas with Kevin and Dratch over the years, pre-show, post-show, because both of you were on Broadway. Well, listen, anytime I can hang out with you. How are you? I'm so great. How are you? Where are we talking to you from? I am in Texas at my mom's place, rural Texas outside of Houston. It's a sunny day. We've had four days of torrential rain and I'm dealing with these wild hogs. I know this is crazy. They're wild feral hogs that show up in the middle of the night and they tear up your property. They travel in packs of 30 and I've set up alarms all around and I think they're working. But last night, we had a few come and the alarms went off in the middle of the night, which there's no thing worth verifying. I'm good with animals and I grew up with a lot of animals and I'm fine with animals. Not these animals. Not a fan. It's worth a Google if anyone wants to Google. That's his wild feral hogs. Well, I mean, the thing that I was so excited to talk to you about today is that you, like many of us, deeply love our guest, Rachel. Beyond. Tell me how you two first met. We met doing a musical called Minsky's in LA, written by Charles Strauss and Susan Birkenhead and Bob Martin. It was coming to Broadway, a star-studded cast and it closed in LA, which is the great showbiz tale. But what you take away from experiences like that are the people and you usually have one or two from each show and I fell in love with Rachel immediately. What's not to fall in love with and she had told me she had gone to a psychic that I think you had bought her this psychic reading for her birthday. That's right. I should talk to her about that because if she's open to it because her and I both went to the same psychic at the same time when we were both pregnant. Yes, that's right. We had before the show, I would go to her dressing room and we would have a day catch up. What'd you do today? Who'd you see? Where'd you lunch? And she had said I went to the psychic and the psychic told me that our show was going to close out of town and we were like, they're crazy. That'll never happen. We're moving into the St. James Theater. Well, the psychic was right. But anyway, that was probably 15, 16, 17 years ago and it has just been
