Do you hear that? That sound, right? That means that summer is officially here. It means that grown adults just sprint into the street for a frozen dessert shaped like a cartoon. But this summer, Mint Mobile has a better treat. Every plan, including unlimited, is $15 a month. And unlike ice cream, it won't drip down your wrist or look nothing like the picture.

**Johnny** (1:54)
Welcome to That's Spooky, I'm Johnny.

**Tyler** (1:56)
And I'm Tyler.

**Johnny** (1:57)
And this is a weekly podcast dedicated to anybody who's ever tried to sing the Phantom of the Opera theme at karaoke.

**Tyler** (2:02)
Oh, hell yeah, y'all are brave.

**Johnny** (2:05)
Yeah, it's right up there, I think, with Total Eclipse of the Heart, in terms of technique, if you want to do it right. But if you want to get it wrong, you can do it wrong so fabulously. You can do it so wrong and strong.

**Tyler** (2:20)
So wrong and it feels so right.

**Johnny** (2:22)
I know.

**Tyler** (2:23)
Total Eclipse of the Heart is my go-to karaoke song.

**Johnny** (2:27)
It's kind of mine too.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:29)
Yeah.

**Johnny** (2:29)
Well, it has been.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:35)
Right.

**Johnny** (2:36)
Yeah.

**Tyler** (2:37)
That's fair.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:38)
You haven't really think about it.

**Johnny** (2:39)
I haven't really thought about who I am like that lately. I haven't had to think about karaoke Johnny in a long time.

**Tyler** (2:47)
That's fair.

**Johnny** (2:47)
Not since I really stopped drinking in my early 20s. Fun fact.

**Tyler** (2:52)
I mean, they have the private karaoke rooms now.

**Johnny** (2:56)
I would do that.

**Tyler** (2:56)
I want to because I think karaoke is really fun.

**Johnny** (2:59)
Do you want to do it for my birthday?

**Tyler** (3:00)
Sure.

**Johnny** (3:01)
Oh my God.

**SPEAKER_8** (3:02)
Let's do it.

**Tyler** (3:03)
Yeah. Because then you don't have to perform for strangers. You just be silly with your friends. Perform for each other. Yeah. Exactly.

**Johnny** (3:12)
That's so much fun.

**Tyler** (3:14)
Yeah. So you could do Total Eclipse of the Heart. Yeah. And I'll do Phantom of the Opera because I am ready.

**Johnny** (3:19)
Yeah.

**Tyler** (3:19)
I'm ready to do so.

**Johnny** (3:21)
Do you want me to be like your hype man, aka your phantom and going, sing for me.

**Tyler** (3:26)
Yes. Just while I'm hitting all the notes.

**Johnny** (3:29)
Can I do it like that one guy who goes, sing my angel of music.

**Tyler** (3:34)
Yeah.

**Johnny** (3:35)
Like S-A-N-C-H-E-L.

**Tyler** (3:37)
If you can sound slightly Eastern European while you do it, that would be great. Sing my angel of music. Yes. Yeah. Perfect.

**Johnny** (3:47)
I love that. Like an Eastern European, Wendy O. Williams.

**Tyler** (3:51)
Yeah. That's what I want out of my phantom.

**Johnny** (3:54)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_7** (3:55)
Okay.

**Johnny** (3:56)
Duly noted. It might be my birthday, but someone else is going to be getting a present. And that's the night that Tyler was never more in love with me. Imagine that. Imagine in our 15 years together, you've never been able to get it there until the night we sing Phantom of the Opera together.

**Tyler** (4:15)
Until I get to be Christine Dye.

**Johnny** (4:17)
Yeah, for real. Yeah. And I'm just like, you know what? I stuck around because I knew this day would come.
