Mmh hmm, well, well, well (oh yeah, baby)
It's time to get my freak on (you ain't the only one)

Hot, hot, hot, sweat, sweet
Wet, wet, wet, red heat
Hot, hot, hot, sweat, sweet (touch, taste, deep, dark)
Wet, wet, wet, red heat (kiss, beg, slap, fear, thick)
Please, don't stop, please, please, don't stop, stop
Stop, stop, stop, don't (red, red, red, red)
Please, please, please, please (red, red, please)

Hot, hot, hot, sweat, sweet (harder, faster, wetter) (bastard)
Wet, wet, wet, red heat (you whore, you cannibal) (more, you animal)
Sticky, licky, trickle, tickle (fluid, no fluid, no contact yes)
Steamy, creamy, stroking, soaking (no contact, fire, fire, burn, burn, yes)

No latex rubber, rubber
Fire, latex rubber, latex bummer
Lover bummer

Take me, take me, take me, well, well, well
Take me, take me, oh, oh
Today for you, tomorrow for me
Today me, Tomorrow you
Tomorrow
You, love you, love you, love
I love you, I love you, oh

Take me, take me
I love you
Wait, slipped
Shit, ow

Where's it go?
Safe, damn
I think I missed
Don't get pissed

It was bad for me
Was it bad for you?




It's over, it's over
It's over, it's over, it's over

I've watched this twice now. This was a great podcast. Jesse is wonderful. I hope to meet him someday. Will we see your set photos anytime soon?

The HangOut with Syd Wong

Thank you so much! About the photos they'll most likely be released when the film is released (next year).

Tam

So, Jesse basically felt like his roles in musicals was the “token black character.”

Makes perfect sense. You see a lot of that in mainstream media.

StarryKat

First time watcher, this was a wonderful podcast episode. I loved seeing Syd talk to Jesse about his career as well as his hopes and dreams. Of course, a dog adoption story makes it all the sweeter too! Thank you Syd for this deep dive into Jesse's career and discussing varied topics such as the differences between Broadway and West End audiences, Chris Walken's pronunciation and the mysterious harmonica water!

The HangOut with Syd Wong

Thanks so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed!

thedexterbros

Great interview! It's a real gem, we don't often see more long form interviews with Jesse

The HangOut with Syd Wong

Thanks so much! Jesse's a great guy. It was such a great time chatting with him.

Wes Hofmann

The HangOut with Syd Wong
