Hey, I'm Frankie Rodriguez.
Hi, I'm Larry Sapperstein.
Hey, I'm Dara Rene.
What's up? I'm Matt Cornett.
So excited to talk to you guys about the holiday special High School Musical. Have you guys seen it yet?
Yes.
Yes.
We have.
How are you feeling? Is it getting you in the Christmas mode?
1,000%, yes. I think we're just so excited for it. We're just so excited for the world to see it.
Yeah.
Okay, we're gonna play two games with you. We're gonna do one who is most likely and then one truth or dare Zoom edition. Okay. Cool. Now we're gonna do truth or dare. So we'll go, I guess, one by one 'cause everyone looks different. But you have truths and then you have dares, so you can choose either one. But for the dares, if you do it, you might have to get an object in your house. Oh. If you have it. Okay. We'll start with Matt. Truth or Dare?
I'll go dare. Why not?
Go change your shirt in under one minute. Oh! And he did it, too. I'm glad I had that one. Yeah. Is there a timer going? I'll say when there's 30 seconds left. Here. Trust the process. Trust the process. Okay, that was definitely under one minute. So you're good. You're totally good. That was really fast.
I'm gonna change back into the sweater, though, 'cause I feel like it looks better.
Okay. Truth or dare, Frankie?
Truth.
Okay. Be honest, what are you wearing on the lower half of your body? Oh!
Okay. I have jeans on, but right now it's super cold, so I'm wearing this like fuzzy blanket around me. And then I have slippers on.
Perfect. Well, the blanket that was that was cute touch. We like that.
I look like an old lady.
Okay, who wants to go next?
I'll go. I think I'll do a dare.
Okay. Go find your most prized possession in your house and bring it to the Zoom camera. Okay. Oh! Oh! Go, Matt. Go get your prized possessions. He's like, all of these. Oh, that was fast. That was fast.
Okay. So, there's a little story about this. So, when we filmed Episode 105, Homecoming. Um, these were the center pieces on the table at Homecoming. And a lot of us um took one. And so I took this one and it's on my bookshelf and I look at it all the time.
That's so cute. It's great for this occasion as well.
Yes. Okay, I'm gonna go put it back.
We ready? Truth or Dare, you're the last one to go. Come on, Dara.
Dare, because it's Dara. So, dare me.
Okay, ready? Yes. You have two options, okay?
Okay.
You can either go grab your pet and show it, but if you don't have a pet, FaceTime one of your cast members who's not in the Zoom.
You know what? I think I do have a little a little doll. She said, I think I have a little doll. A doll around here somewhere. Yeah, but not here. Oh my goodness.
What's her name?
Her name is Snuggles. And she has on a shirt and the shirt says troublemaker, because she loves to act bougie and act like she doesn't know who I am sometimes. But we all know that I feed her and take care of her, so don't be acting like you don't love me, all right?
We just talk about the fact that you said, I think I have a little doll around here? Can you explain that?
I think I got a little some some. But yeah, she loves she's a rescue, too. So, she's really just like all-in-all just perfect. I love her so much.
That's so cute. Well, the other truth and dares were Um, last time you Googled yourself. Who's the last person you texted? What did it say? And who's the last person you DM'd?
The last person I DM'd was Frankie, like 30 seconds ago.
What about last time you guys Googled yourselves? You do that?
I try not to do that. I don't Google myself often, but I I Google uh other cast members often to see what their birthdays are.
I did. Today is Mark St. Cyr's birthday, and I saw him go posting and I was like, wait, is it actually? So I Googled him like literally five minutes before this call. Oh! Happy birthday.
I I there was a thing a couple weeks ago. I was making like a funny video that I shared with the cast, and it was just like I I went and grabbed like pictures from of everyone from the internet. So maybe that was the last time I Googled myself because I needed to like get a big red picture.
Last person you guys texted?
Last person I texted, oh, okay, the last person I texted is my mom. And I sent her a uh just now sent her this. And and and the last person I DM'd was Frankie, which was I was asking how he got this. How did you get that? Like you knew you knew I was gonna ask you to show us.
Today. Um, the last person I texted was Mark St. Cyr. And I said and it's in all caps. I said, so, you're just not gonna tell us it's your birthday so we can't go around the room and tell you how awesome we think you are. Okay, I see you. Anyway, happy birthday.
Um, the last person I texted was um Frankie. And we just sent back and forth memes of like the Real Housewives and of uh Marilyn Monroe. Uh, so,
The last person I texted was my friend Andrew Feldman, who played Evan Hansen on Broadway. And I said, um, by the way, this is what I'm wearing for the holiday special. And he said, yes.
All your phones. We weren't through your homes. Thank you for allowing us to do that. And Happy holidays.
