I am Ryan.
joining me, as always from the Upside Down, is a man who had a very hard time deciding between Duke for basketball or Kent State for English. It's Curtis. I picked Duke, but they did not admit me.
So helping Curtis with his essays and to hear the music is a woman who would love one more Treehouse duet. It's Dani. Hello. Hello. Thanks for having me again today.
Last time on Reverse Psychology. Danny? Danny? Put the knife down. Why do you have a knife? Oh, it's my cheese knife. I have a charcuterie board. You brought a cheese knife? You pronounce charcuterie with an H? A hard H? Yes, a charcuterie. Wait, how do you pronounce charcuterie? Charcuterie, you both said it wrong. Oh, charcuterie. I think you're right. So everyone says it. You said it like two episodes ago, and I just let it go, and I shouldn't have. And then Danny brought a knife, and then she started... It was a whole nightmare. I had to address it. Hello, and welcome to another special edition of Reverse Psychology. If you came here looking for some hard-hitting Frasier talk, too bad, because tonight we continue with our summer movie marathon. The hour for singing is nigh, because the place for musicals is high school. Questions remain for the seniors of East High. Who's going to Juilliard? What even is Juilliard? And for the love of all that is holy, will there be some real drama to close out this series? Find out as we wrap up HSM3 Senior Year. This is Reverse Psychology Presents High School Musical. I am Ryan Canzone, and joining me, as always from the Upside Down, is a man who had a very hard time deciding between Duke for basketball or Kent State for English. It's Curtis Sheck. I picked Duke, but they did not admit me. Really? Even with your essay? I didn't write it, to be fair. That's probably why you didn't get it. So helping Curtis with his essays and to hear the music is a woman who would love one more Treehouse duet. It's Danielle Stevens. Hello. Hello. Thanks for having me again today.
