Leah & Andrew Rudick

We're taking a trip down memory lane in this episode, as we reminisce about our personal journeys in the arts and the defining moments that ignited our passions. Do you remember the first person outside of your family who recognized your potential? For Leah, it was the incredible Jan Canada Fritch who believed in me during her voice lessons as a young girl, despite her lack of singing talent. Her encouragement played a monumental role in shaping her career and instilling confidence in her pursuit of the arts.

Our older brother Mike also played a part in our journeys, albeit in a more humorous and cruel way. We share stories of his antics during our childhood games of flashlight tag and how they helped us develop a thick skin. As we chat about our favorite songs and bands, we introduce the Mega Men, Andrew’s high school band. Their catchy song, Shun-Junt, kicks off the musical portion of the episode and is sure to have you humming along.

Speaker 2:

Sissy, i don't know brother, maybe it's Mommy and Daddy.

Speaker 1:

Should we answer it? Maybe it's.

Speaker 3:

Pete's way to flip sis. It could be a listener or it could be Stranger danger.

Speaker 1:

Who's a?

Speaker 2:

ho, who's a ho Where is? Oh yeah, and we're grown-ups now. Hi Hi, did you just burp?

Speaker 3:

Welcome No.

Speaker 2:

Oh, what Were you just choking? I did, but it, i was just choking on your own saliva. I assume nobody would notice it, nobody would have, nobody would have, but I just chose violence today. How are you?

Speaker 3:

Wow, i was fine, and now I'm a little on my toes.

Speaker 2:

A little on your toes. That's how you should be. Yeah, yeah on my titsies, how you doing today.

Speaker 3:

I'm good, i'm very good. Yeah, how are you?

Speaker 2:

I'm great. I'm just kind of getting moving over here. We're back in different cities. I'm in LA, you're in Cincinnati.

Speaker 3:

You seem less grumpy than you usually do at this time of day.

Speaker 2:

Well, you know I am not a morning person, And it's 11 o'clock So I'm sort of past that. I'm past that morning hump, as they say. I've had a little coffee in me. It's coursing through my veins. I do get cranky in the morning, though.

Speaker 3:

But you are.

Speaker 2:

I don't mean to paint you as a very nice person, no, you've painted me as a monster, And that's fair, because I really threw you under the bus at the beginning of this episode by being like Did you burp?

Speaker 3:

Yeah, it's okay. Let's just you know, let's try to be kind.

Speaker 2:

How about that? I love that. Let's choose. kindness, you're looking well.

Speaker 3:

So, thank you, I'm feeling good. Amy's had me grow out this beard which I told mom that I was going to grow out, and she went Ew.

Speaker 1:

Then last night I came home and she went.

Speaker 3:

She came home. I came home last night and she was going.

Speaker 2:

I was like What are you doing? She was miming, she was miming shaving.

Speaker 3:

That's amazing. She's just trolling in sign language now.

Speaker 2:

She gets on a run of something and nothing can stop her. How big are you to grow out the beard?

Speaker 3:

I think I'm going to stop about now which It looks good.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it feels good.

Speaker 3:

It feels good Now.

Speaker 2:

this might not be interesting to anyone, but I had this zit on my neck, it's a great way to start and you're right, it's not interesting to anyone.

Speaker 3:

Well, what I think might be interesting is it might be a mole.

Speaker 2:

It could be a mole, which I'm very unhappy about. You know what? Nothing has said that. That's very interesting. Did you make a dermatologist appointment?

Speaker 3:

I did not, but I'm hoping not, because it's right center and I'm an actor as you know, these were none of the chosen topics.

Speaker 2:

This was not on the topic list for today. I'd like it struck from the record, your mole talk.

Speaker 3:

It's mole talk struck. Let's talk for a moment.

Speaker 2:

You just said me Yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 3:

We talk a lot about moments of doubt. Comedy in this field is filled with self-doubt. It's ubiquitous Good word. I don't think enough time is spent focusing on moments of confidence, or in other words, moments that have created a note, made you realize maybe this is for you. Along with that, i'm trying to think about Genesis stories. What happened in your past that you could pinpoint? that put you on this trajectory.

Speaker 2:

Sure, i love that. That's a great topic. Andrew, you're welcome. I told you this, but I started taking voice lessons when I was in middle school. I think that there's still hope for me as a singer, but that's not what this is about. I'm a terrible singer. This is the one time I'll say it. I'm going to get real for just a minute. I'm a terrible singer and that's okay, but when I was in high school, you're welcome.

Speaker 2:

When I was in high school I really wanted to be a singer because I fell in love with musical theater, but I was just tone deaf, so mom and dad signed me up for voice lessons voice lesson classes with this woman.

Speaker 3:

Very sweet of them, because the writing was on the wall.

Speaker 2:

Well, I don't know. I think that there's always hope.

Speaker 3:

I'm just kidding, you were a young girl.

Speaker 2:

I was a young girl, they signed me up for classes with this woman, jan Canada Fritch What a name. She taught classes out of her basement condo in Cincinnati. I would go every week and she was someone who She was in her late 60s, early 70s and she had. She had toured the world doing Maria in West Side Story. It was her claim to fame and she had this big painting of herself in the basement over the fireplace And she was really refined and I don't know. She was lovely. I feel like.

Speaker 3:

Was this off-Broadway Broadway The Maria?

Speaker 2:

It was like an international tour, i think it was, i don't know.

Speaker 3:

I think it was.

Speaker 2:

Broadway adjacent And so I would go every week and we would do show tunes, we would do songs for musical theater and like I didn't really get any better as a singer. But I think that she saw, she like started having me like bring in monologues and like I think she must have known that like I wasn't going to be a singer, but then she started like working on these monologues with me, even though she was like a singing coach, and she was like the first person to really be like oh, you have the first person outside of, like mom and dad, to be like oh, there's something there, there's like a spark there, and she really like fanned that flame and like I would, you know, she would help me, i would, i started going on these auditions and she would help me. She helped me do the like Joan of Arc monologue And it was like that was really like one of my first sort of mentors. Yeah, yeah, i wonder what she's doing now.

Speaker 1:

I imagine that is meaningful.

Speaker 3:

I hope she's still around. Yeah, I just got.

Speaker 1:

I just got.

Speaker 2:

I just got dark She's around.

Speaker 3:

She's gotta be she.

Speaker 2:

Jan Canada, french, lives forever.

Speaker 3:

Well, I'd imagine that has to be a formidable experience, because the mom and dad, it's like you're expecting that validation. You're expecting it right So to have it come from an outside source of not somebody who's like it's. It's a objective person.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, right, it's not something in your family, but yeah took a liking to you Totally And it was like you know I, it really meant so much to me And it was, i think, the beginning of me feeling like confident as a performer. Yeah, and yet she's still. She still would like take home a musical theater song every week And I would practice it like ad nauseum in my bedroom. And our older brother, mike, would just like be so furious He would be like shut up mom.

Speaker 1:

Tell me how to stop singing.

Speaker 2:

He would get so mad At the time. it was terrible.

Speaker 3:

Was this? did you know it was terrible, like did you?

Speaker 1:

was it frustrating for you at the?

Speaker 3:

time. No, I thought it was No awareness.

Speaker 2:

I thought I was getting because I would also like I would sing the songs. I would sing the songs for mom and dad And they would be like you are getting so good. Yay, i would do little concerts.

Speaker 3:

That's just sweet of them, but also that's kind of can be like detrimental to like later in life because you What do you mean? Not for you because you well, for you, I think you figure because you became super successful, but, like a lot of people don't.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

And then they're like why does the world not think I'm wonderful like mommy does?

Speaker 2:

Do you remember me practicing my singing, Or did you just? did you just block that part of?

Speaker 1:

life out.

Speaker 2:

I think I was speaking of singing careers. You had one of your own, which you just sent me I was in a you just sent me the recording to when you were in the battle of the bands. Now, what would you describe the genre of your high school band?

Speaker 3:

Hmm, i would say it's heavy rock rap core Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

I don't know what the genre is. My bandmates were talented. I couldn't sing And, by the way, we're going to, we're going to throw these songs to that I sent you.

Speaker 2:

We have to throw the songs in because they're very funny And you know well, they're not.

Speaker 3:

I wasn't weird out Yankovich, i was there.

Speaker 2:

They're um, they're it's it. I'll tell you what it's. It was better than I thought it was going to be when I listened back.

Speaker 3:

It was good happening here. What It was good, here's what's happening here. Before you said it was good, you are jealous that your little brother has some sort of singing ability.

Speaker 2:

I'm not saying I'm not jealous, but I could scream. You could scream Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, so those are my two favorite songs. I sent you Shunjunt and Ghost Train.

Speaker 1:

Shunjunt, shunjunt.

Speaker 3:

They're very dark. The lyrics I still remember.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to repeat them. Did you write the lyrics? I wrote all the lyrics. You wrote all the lyrics. They were very.

Speaker 3:

Shunjunt sounds the blade coming through.

Speaker 2:

They were filled with angst. They felt like lyrics written by a little rich boy in a world, a little rich boy in Ohio who was full of rage I know It's so funny like listening to that now and I'm like what am I so angry about?

Speaker 3:

Like I had all the love, support in the world.

Speaker 2:

That's what you were angry about.

Speaker 3:

I didn't have something to.

Speaker 2:

You didn't have something to be angry about, what's like.

Speaker 3:

Sean Patton has it.

Speaker 2:

He's got a joke about that, or I can't you know I can't repeat jokes, but yeah, so just move along, It's funny.

Speaker 3:

It was funny. Check out his joke about that.

Speaker 2:

So you, so it's. It's funny because I think that when you started doing that, you were called the Mega Men.

Speaker 3:

The Mega Men.

Speaker 2:

The Mega Men, and I think I was gone when you started, because what grade were you in when?

Speaker 3:

you started like 10th grade Junior year Junior.

Speaker 2:

I was like sort of I was already in college, but I I heard, i heard the tales of it.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah, yeah It was. I mean, it was probably the most fun period of my life. I feel like and that again, genesis stories like I don't even think I realize it until just now, but like that, really that adrenaline rush, i think I experienced it before, i experienced it in comedy and didn't put it together until like I really lived for that rush, for like being in front of a crowd And yeah.

Speaker 3:

And mom, said that she saw us at Bogert's and I was clapping like this, but I wasn't That you were clapping over your head, but you have no recollection of that.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, yeah No recollection.

Speaker 1:

Did you do a?

Speaker 2:

lot of shows.

Speaker 3:

Um, but saw like a decent amount. I mean we yeah, yeah yeah, we did a decent amount.

Speaker 2:

How did the band fall apart?

Speaker 3:

Well, i actually kind of was. The was the reason it fell apart, because I went away to South Carolina to college and everybody else stayed in Cincinnati. Um, but I think that it wouldn't have. You know Cole, who is the drummer who is arguably the most talented in the band, he went on to become a biomedical engineer at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and now he's a professor, so he wasn't.

Speaker 2:

You know, some people just have talent in all sorts of things.

Speaker 3:

Man that guy's got so much talent. I'm so jealous. Yeah, yeah, i'm jealous of him too, But you know, along this same theme of Genesis stories, i would argue that for you, i think both of us, a lot of it came from both mom and our brother.

Speaker 2:

Right.

Speaker 3:

Mike helped us develop a thick skin. Very funny, very likes to like, you know, big brother. So when we were in, how old were you when we played flashlight tag? You were probably.

Speaker 2:

Probably 12?. Probably, yeah, probably 12. We used to play flashlight tag in the backyard.

Speaker 3:

We used to play flashlight tag In the good old days.

Speaker 2:

Before tablets and cell phones and TVs and regular phones, when we would gather around the radio every night. What I'm done, i don't know.

Speaker 1:

I thought that would be a fun little riff, and it didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 3:

You gotta take risks.

Speaker 2:

We used to play flashlight tag. We lived in a lovely cul-de-sac.

Speaker 3:

And for those Gen Zers flashlight tag it's at night, somebody has a flashlight. You're flashing on somebody.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, flashlight, not to be confused with flashlight children.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, flashlight tag is.

Speaker 2:

That's a different game. That's completely different.

Speaker 3:

You do that down by the river, and so Mike, the whole neighborhood, he'd go and you'd hide, mike, was it our brother, he has a flashlight, he goes and hides, you're hiding, and you're hiding, and you're hiding, and nobody's coming, and nobody's coming, and nobody's coming. And then you realize that Story of my life, huh. Jesus Christ.

Speaker 1:

Your parents love you.

Speaker 3:

You know that right, don't laugh like a demon. We've talked about this. So Mike has organized the whole neighborhood a ploy to come in early and let Leah stay out by herself in the dark until she realizes that the game is over and everybody's laughing at her inside.

Speaker 2:

Everyone's laughing at me inside.

Speaker 3:

He's left.

Speaker 2:

I stayed in that tree for probably an hour And I just thought that I was winning flashlight tag And then eventually I was like this is something's off here And I walked inside to our family room and everyone was just like pointing and laughing at me And I was, so I think I just started crying. Well, we're gonna have to cut that That doesn't make it funny.

Speaker 3:

Why I'm just kidding. That just makes it sad.

Speaker 2:

That's my truth and that's also part of my Genesis story. I was left in the tree during flashlight tag.

Speaker 3:

It was so funny because you the whole time you thought you were winning flashlight tag And we weren't even playing flashlight tag Yeah, yeah, it was a cruel, we were playing. Leah as a loser and you were losing.

Speaker 2:

It was a cruel joke, it really was.

Speaker 3:

But I think what's interesting about that is when you really break it down. What is flashlight tag? The game is essentially you shine a spotlight on somebody.

Speaker 2:

They're illuminated, just them around all darkness, and then the game's over.

Speaker 3:

Oh God, I mean it is just a metaphor for what.

Speaker 2:

What did you strive? for A spotlight To have the spotlight on me, to have the flashlight on me.

Speaker 3:

You're always yearning for that flashlight that Mike took away from you.

Speaker 2:

That is. you know what? That is my Genesis story, Wow.

Speaker 3:

That is.

Speaker 2:

That's beautiful. That is beautiful Now for me.

Speaker 3:

my ex-girlfriend in college, when we broke up, told me that I wasn't funny and I tried too hard to make my friends laugh And I was like, well, i'm gonna be a comic man.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, that'll. And she was nice?

Speaker 3:

I don't mean to be. We had a toxic relationship.

Speaker 2:

I don't mean to paint her in a bad light, but I think that really stuck with me. We'll put her name in the comments, just kidding.

Speaker 3:

That really stuck with me though. Because, I was like, not that I tried too hard to be funny, or just the idea that I'm trying to be funny. I always thought like, oh, i'm just being funny. Yeah, so who doesn't try to be funny in front of their friends.

Speaker 2:

Of course I had a boyfriend tell me that I wasn't funny, that women weren't funny, but that's just, that's gonna happen if you're a woman in comedy.

Speaker 3:

Were you in comedy at the time.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was high school. I don't yeah, Oh okay, yeah, yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3:

I mean, but that will. I think that will like you know, love it.

Speaker 2:

Well, at the time I well, i don't, i didn't. at the time I was like, yeah, i guess you're probably right Like I believed him.

Speaker 3:

Well, you weren't trying to be a comic at the time.

Speaker 2:

No, but I, you know, i was on the, i think I was on the path, like I was, i was doing like theater and stuff and I think I just you know, but that was also like the pervasive belief at that time. It was like, oh yeah, women just aren't funny, like it was just like a thing that you know, that was just said.

Speaker 3:

What do you mean at that time?

Speaker 2:

Well, i know it's got. I mean, it still is a very prevalent like belief, but I think it was at that time, you know, before there was like really internet, or you know, it was like living in Ohio, i didn't you know, you didn't know, you didn't like I didn't know anything When the number of yeah, the access for women comics to be headliners wasn't the same as it did now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, i'm sure, and I didn't know, i didn't know anything about you know like we would go. We would go to like like mom and dad would take me to, like the local comedy club, and like there weren't women performing. You know which is still? very much off in the case but, like I think, even more so than. Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Sure.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

It's like they were. It's like they were grooming us to be comics.

Speaker 2:

It's, it's sort of.

Speaker 3:

Is grooming the rotten word.

Speaker 2:

I don't think so. I think it can have many connotations, some of which are bad, but I yeah. I mean they took us to so many standup shows growing up.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, Like that's Colin Quinn. I went to the comedy cellar when I was 18. Colin Quinn heckled me next to mom and dad.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they took me to New York for my 16th birthday and that we just went to comedy shows.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, that's so interesting, it's like that, and yeah, i think those two things again, mike cause Mike used to. I mean he would. This is a guy that would fall asleep in the cra, or when I would fall asleep in my bed, he would be hiding in the two foot crack between the bed and the wall for like two hours until I reached a state of REM sleep.

Speaker 3:

Like he would wait, like a Navy SEAL, until he knew that it would really, and then he would jump up and just start screaming in my face and shaking me So like He would hide in my closet cause I played Barbies for like way too late.

Speaker 2:

I played Barbies until I was like edging on teen years.

Speaker 3:

And 25.

Speaker 2:

Until I was, i still played Barbies And I would play with my best friend, eva, who lived across the street in the cul-de-sac, and we would go in my room And we were embarrassed about it because we were like you know, we were like 12.

Speaker 2:

You should have been And it was like too old to be playing Barbies And he would like hide in the closet And we would like get it. You know, we would have like the storylines and we would like we would be deep into the into, like the soap opera of whatever like Barbie was up to that day And like he would wait, like a, like a, like a snow leopard, And then like, right as our like Barbie story was like peeking, he would jump out and just be like, yeah, losers.

Speaker 1:

I remember one time I was, I was so mad because you had a diary that had a little key.

Speaker 3:

Yes And I found the key because, you know, growing up I had severe Stockholm syndrome, Like I would do anything to try to impress Mike, even if it meant you know, throwing you under the bus, even though we were allies right.

Speaker 2:

But I would throw you under the bus in a minute. Same me too.

Speaker 3:

And I found yeah sure It was survival Still, still still do really, we still do. It's so funny And when we all hang out, like when Mike's there, the one of us who might always attack you in person.

Speaker 2:

We just want to impress Mike.

Speaker 3:

This is why we do comedy to impress Mike and to win Flashlight Tech. But I just lost my train of thought.

Speaker 2:

Oh, God, oh no.

Speaker 3:

What was I just talking about?

Speaker 2:

I don't know, i wasn't listening.

Speaker 3:

Oh no, Um, um shit.

Speaker 2:

Wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, it was, uh, it was, oh, my diary, my, my, my childhood diary.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

You found the key pervert.

Speaker 3:

I found the key And I gave it to Mike, as you know, an offering to please you know As his, as his little as his little minion. And then him and I think one of his friends, i think Fred, went in there and unlocked it.

Speaker 2:

They read my diary whole thing.

Speaker 3:

And then they commented they wrote something on the end. Haha, you're such a loser.

Speaker 2:

I'll tell you what they wrote, cause I remember they wrote. we read your diary. May the fleas of a, may, the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

Speaker 3:

Jesus, what is that That's like? so biblical? How did they even?

Speaker 2:

it really is, it's really, it's quite, it's quite literary.

Speaker 3:

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.

Speaker 2:

What a visual that is.

Speaker 3:

It's, it's, it's actually impressive, i was so upset.

Speaker 2:

May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits. Yeah, so you're telling me it's your fault that um, oh, that was, that was devastating.

Speaker 3:

You know I was so irritating about that. Oh see, now I feel bad again. See, i'm trying to tell these funny stories now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it's actually, it's actually my trauma, all of these stories.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, you know it's my trauma. Everybody mom, dad, everybody would retell that story Give Mike full credit.

Speaker 2:

Oh, oh, poor you Mike, founder, keith, oh, that's so sad for you. All of my secrets out for the world, all of my secrets on the table, humiliating.

Speaker 3:

What secrets did you have? I had a lot of secrets and I still do Barbie's, my boyfriend.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that was my secret, barbie's my boyfriend Stacy's, my daughter Ken's, my daddy.

Speaker 2:

I was sort of confused. Listen, you have a. You have a, you have a crowd work special coming up Not to pivot too hard. Yes, but that's very exciting. No, this will be a good. This will be a good time to rap, because we still got to play the songs Those will be five minutes at the end.

Speaker 3:

Oh, and which, by the way, if you join the Patreon, i will put the Mega Man's entire catalog. Oh, so you're going to be doing a lot of stuff. If you join the Patreon, i will put the Mega Man's entire catalog.

Speaker 2:

Oh, you've got to get on there, because these songs are not to be missed. Shun jump, shun jump.

If you want the full catalog, join the Patreon And you get video and you get Q&As. So, yes, i have a CrowdWork special coming up. It's going to be at the warehouse in Cincinnati. There's not a name, but there's an address. It's in my info If you follow my Instagram.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, so I'm shooting a special with this company, four by three productions.

Speaker 3:

It's going to be all CrowdWork, which I'm a little nervous about because how long of a set are you going to do?

Speaker 2:

an hour?

Speaker 3:

I think I'm going to do an hour 45 to an hour depending on how it goes with no jokes, Which I've never really done. I've done a lot of CrowdWork, but I'm not going to do a single joke that I've written, because if the writers in LA are on strike, so am I.

Speaker 2:

There it is.

Speaker 1:

And um hilarious every time, but yeah, i'm really excited.

Speaker 3:
