- Good evening, theater nerds.
Welcome to "Play It By Ear," the musical improv show.
I'm your host, Mano Agapion.
Why don't you join me in welcoming our amazing cast?
(calm upbeat music)
We've got
Jess McKenna. (audience claps and cheers)
(gasps) Oh, hey there.
Zach Reino.
Oh, cool, dude.
(laughs) And the lovely Ross Bryant.
Oh. (Jess laughs)
Oh, hey, one of Charlie's Angels.
- I'm the Halo.
- Ginger.
- We have Halo, Ginger Spice. - [Ross] Ginger.
- And Lucy Liu? - Yeah!
- Yeah. - Lucy Liu.
- Great, I'm excited to tee hee hee and laugh.
- You're the only one who's allowed to,
they're all supposed to stay quiet,
so you don't. - They all have to be quiet.
Hey, you three can tee hee hee,
don't be stingy with the tee hees.
- If this is the first time you're watching this show,
y'all have no idea what I'm about to throw your way.
- No. - No.
- [Mano] Nothing. - No.
- Well, tonight's musical explores the themes of camaraderie
and what it means to be free.
You see, for these zoo animals,
(all laugh)
- Oh, okay. - Yes, life outside
the enclosure is but a distant memory.
Join them as they learn to find their place in the world.
This is Animal Style. (air whooshes)

- Whoa! (upbeat dramatic music)
(audience claps and cheers) (Mano clapping)
- Amazing.
- My feathers go
pink because I eat shrimp. - Pink, shrimps.
- I'm a monotreme, I think. (Mano laughing)
- What's that? - What is that?
- That's what a platypus and an echidna are.
- Mono.
- Treme. - You know that?
Platypi have toxic claws, don't they?
- Oh my gosh, now we have a Chekhov's claw.
- Chekhov's claw,
that claw always goes off in the third act.
- Mm-hmm. - Before you start this scene,
I would like all of you (laughs)
to have names that come (gentle chimes)
from your childhood crushes.
(Ross laughs)
We're gonna learn something today.
- Ah, quick.
Hey, will you come help me, J.R. Delatorre?
(Mano laughs)
The shovel's coming and,
ah, well, as much as I hate being fed by shovel,
I hate to miss it.
Will you bring it up to my mouth?
I'm so damn tall.
- Yeah, of course.
I'll waddle over there, Kellin.
- No fun, no fun last name?
- I mean, how Googleable do you want this to be?
(Mano laughs)
- Is no one gonna ask Salma Hayek
how she got into the pen with other mammals?
My wings were supposed to be clipped, but they're not
'cause I took them out.
- Salma Hayek, how'd you do that?
- Okay, well, you know how they usually pin it like here,
so you can't do this?
- Yeah. - I got James to do it.
- Do you ever talk to the other birds?
You know, the birds that don't live in the zoo?
The little like sparrows that eat the popcorn
and french fries, 'cause they live outside.
- Yeah. - Yeah,
the little pigeons that perch up on the walls
and on the bars with tales of the outside world.
(calm music) - Are you talking 'bout us?
- You talking 'bout the birds that live up
in the outside world? - You talking about
the outside birds?
- Well, well, well. - Well, well.
If it ain't three little big time pets.
- Oh, we're so sad, every day someone brings me food,
but I don't like the method to which it's conveyed to me.
- Oh, poor you. - Poor me, poor me.
I fight for every scrap. (calm upbeat music)
- Ooh, I like this song coming on.
I would really like this song to involve no rhyming,
but instead fake outs for every rhyme
that might rhyme. (players laugh)
Sounds easy, right? - Great. Yeah.
(calm upbeat music) - Good luck.

(Jess laughs) I've never felt

- That was really fun, we learned a lot.
- Mm-hmm. - But I will say,
Zach, what a cop out.
Everyone else, like, kinda was vulnerable
with who their crush was and you went with a celebrity.
- I could give you the name of a crush,
but also, (laughs) I've told you this before,
there's a scene in "Wild Wild West,"
- Yes. - That Salma Hayek is in
- Sure. - Where her butt is visible
for like an eighth of a second.
That was like a sexual awakening for me.
- Yeah. (laughs)
- But sure, Kimber Young, what's up?
How you doing? - Yeah. (laughs)
- You're married as, I understand it, in Santa Barbara.
That's wonderful, I hope you're doing very well.
- Wow, slant, the non rhymes.
- That is hard.
- Yeah. (Mano laughs)
- You have to do the rhyme.
- [Players] And then not do the rhyme.
- Well, keep going, I wanna see where you take us next.
Wherever you take us, I do have one little favor.
- Okay. - Okay, sure.
- Wherever scene we go to next,
can you make sure someone has a weird catchphrase?
- 'Cause you need to put something on a shirt?
- Yes! Yes. - Okay.
Whatever we're about to say,
coming soon to the Dropout store.
(Mano laughs)
- (groans) Man, those three pigeons
and, well, I guess two pigeons and one mourning dove,
ugh, I don't know, they really, really make me
wanna see what else is out there.
But also- - I also wonder,
maybe we shouldn't see what else is out there
'cause it's better here.
- They burn us so bad for complaining, but they're living,
man, they're living life.
- Boy, oh, boy.
Whoops, wops, widdly wops.
(Mano laughs) (audience laughs)
- As we always say.
- [Players] Whoops, wops, widdly wops.
(upbeat music)
- [Ross] It's catching on. - It's sort of a phrase
that you can use in all kinds of ways.
- Yeah, and some might say,
that's not a phrase, that's just gibberish. It's a phrase!
- It's a phrase. (laughs) - Oh, yeah.
And it's taking over the whole zoo.

That's merch! - Coming soon
to the Dropout store. - Yeah.
- Whoops, wops, widdly wops. - You better take that
to the bank. - It will look great
on a fanny pack. - Okay?
- Okay, here's my fear - What?
- so far, okay? - Yes.
- All media's out there for us to use
and draw inspiration from,
I do feel like we are the plot of "Madagascar"
meets the pigeons from "Animaniacs,"
and now we just did a bar version
of "Hakuna Matata." (laughs) - Okay, the next scene
you take us to, - Yes.
- I would really like it to be set in a scene
that has absolutely no business being in this musical.
- Great.
Roger. - Marilyn.
- I thought, (Mano laughs)
I thought you were gonna get Scotty the popcorn.
- Well, I guess I was busy.
- What were you possibly busy with
that mattered more than our son?
- I'm sorry, this theater is currently under construction.
(Mano laughs)
Keep doing exactly what you are doing.
- We came to seek solace in the movie theater
that normally shows a 10 minute video
about how to take care of the biomes around you.
But it's closed right now 'cause it's under construction.
- Right, we just wanted to learn about the biomes
to cool off, but apparently you just wanna stoke the fires.
I was looking to be a taiga and you wanna be a desert.
- I'm just trying to find the right place
for our son, Roger.
(Mano laughs) (Zach grunts)
How under construction is it?
- Extremely. (Mano laughs)
- Do they have other workmen other than yourself?
- No, budget cuts.
- See, Roger, this is why I said
we should be monthly members.
- The monthly member pass gets us, sure,
one visit per month.
- It also gets Scotty a postcard on his birthday.
- Sorry, I forgot the postcard, Marilyn!
There are patents that need attorneying.
I'm a patent lawyer. (calm music)
- I know what you are, but you know what you aren't to me?
- Why don't you tell me, Marilyn,
you've never hesitated to twist your knife
when you had the chance.
- And I like this dramatic song,
which is why I would like to add something stupid to it.
I would like at some point this song to involve
a thumb war between these two. (gentle chimes)

Where's my boy? (players laughing)

Uh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, okay. - Oh-oh-oh.
- What have we got here?
We got a, looks like a giraffe.
- Mm-hmm.
- And over here, this looks like a,
well, this is a little freak is what this is.
(Mano laughs) - Aw.
(Ross groans) - And I love it.
And I've never felt so seen.
- Does that mean that this kid
feels like a little freak sometimes as well?
- Well, while I'm here, I should see what I can break.
- Oh, yeah, let's send this little spirit of destruction
towards the locks and the gates and the bars.
- He could free us all. (gentle music)
- I love this talk of breaking,
which is why this next prompt will be,
I would like everyone's voice to break as much as possible.
- Oh, to be 13 years old and breaking into a zoo.
Just really trying to figure out.

- Hi, you've been here - Hi.
- the whole time, right? - I went looking
for his parents. - Oh, and?
- I found a couple having a very loud fight,
which I assume is the- - Did you do that thing
where you disguise yourself
as a construction worker? - As a worker, I sure did.
But here's what I learned, being a human is great.
You can pick up heavy things and move them around.
Walk on both of your legs.
- Oh, well, then maybe this isn't our only chance
to get out, but we gotta do something quick,
that kid's passing out. (calm music)
- Well, if he's not doing good, I clawed him accidentally.
- (groans) I can taste colors.
- Oh, no, he shouldn't be able to taste colors.
- That's what happens when you get clawed
by platypus poison, you trip balls.
(Mano laughs)
(Jess and Zach grunting)
(Zach imitates retching)
(Zach sighing)
- Quick, while he's still a little bit high from the poison,
he can understand animals.
- That's right.
You can understand our speech now, boy.
- I see and taste colors and I comprehend animals.
- Yes, but only for a short time.
You have to get out of here
and no more banging your head into locks.
- Oh, it didn't work with the hand.
So I tried the hand again. - Right.
- And then that didn't work.
- Right. - Thanks, animals.
Hey, is there anything I can do for you
once I get outta here?
- Oh, yes. - Uh-huh.
- We need you to merchandise our phrase.
(Mano laughs)
- Yes.
This is the only home that three best friends,
a flamingo, a giraffe, and a platypus can actually share
since we live in different biomes.
- And we can't be- - Sometimes we live
close together, but we never live
by our dear friend Platypus.
And we can't be apart. - Ever.
- But we still want what we've created here
to spread to the world.
And so if you could do it through, I don't know,
t-shirts, pins. (Mano laughs)
- Cups, water bottles.
You know- - Yeah, backpacks, tote bags,
bucket hats. - Birthday postcards.
- A series of posters. - I mean, in order to do that,
you'd need someone who is really skillful
in intellectual property law,
like a patent attorney. - Patent lawyer.
- My dad's a patent lawyer.
- Perfect. - Perfect.
- And there he is.
My dad!
- There's our boy!
- Our boy! - My dad!
- I thought I'd lost ya.
(Jess and Ross grunting)
Oh, Scotty. - I got poisoned,
but it's my fault. - Oh.
- You got a
wound in your forehead. - But they took
the poison out.
- Who did, sweetheart? Who took the poison out of you?
- The giraffe.
And also the platypus.
And the flamingo didn't help but it was there.
It was there, too. - Wow.
- Don't you see, Mom and Dad?
- Of course, we do, Scotty.
- You're standing so much closer to each other
than you usually do.
- We have some- - Yes, we've decided
to lay down our thumbs.
- That's right. (Zach gasps)
Our bodies are following where our thumbs have led.
- Dad, on the way to the hospital
to make sure everything's okay, I have a couple ideas
that I think you're gonna be very interested in.
- I'm all ears. - Yes!
- Boy, I love it when adults just sort of fade out.
(Mano laughs)
- It wasn't their story.
- No, it wasn't, 'cause you know what?
I am, I do feel like we have different instincts
and I love to stop and think about what they are.
Sometimes they're about licking kids.
(laughs) Sorry. (all laugh)
- No, no, they are. - No, yeah,
sometimes it's about licking kids
because the kids need to lick
the poison out of the kids. - Poison out.
- I wanna use that, I wanna use that.
In fact, for this last number,
let's incorporate the phrase finger-lickin' good.
