In honor of the Merely Players (MP) Noob Show: Monkeyin’ Around on Sunday, March 27, we decided to interview some of the stars of the show! Read a Q&A with our newest members below:

Tanner Lee ?25 Tanner Lee ’25

Meet Tanner Lee ’25, a history major with a minor in secondary education.

MP: How is e-sports going?
Tanner: It’s actually going pretty well; I am glad you asked. I’m glad that’s only as far as the question went. I’m 3-1 in the season, so that’s pretty good. We are second in our conference.

MP: Who are you crushing on?
Tanner: I’m crushing on Lauren Klump.

MP: How fast can you run?
Tanner: Faster than you in a zombie apocalypse.

MP: What are you hiding in your socks?
Tanner: Well, I was thinking my feet, but now that you ask, I’m not so sure.

MP: Do you have it?
Tanner: Yeah. I got it.

MP: What is the funniest pastry and why?
Tanner: Well, let’s all be real. Not many of us are going to know the names of pastries other than the danish and the croissant, so I’m going to go with the croissant because of how Tom Holland says it.

MP: Do you ever feel like a plastic bag?
Tanner: You know, yeah.

MP: What is your favorite song?
Tanner: “I Wish” by Stevie Wonder.

Jack Kelley ?25 Jack Kelley ’25

Meet Jack Kelley ’25, a music education major!

MP: Why would you do that?
Jack: Because.

MP: Who are you crushing on?
Jack: I am crushing on Mr. Monkey. He just looks so cute taped to the wall. What can I say?

MP: How fast can you run?
Jack: Probably, at least like, five.

MP: Why are there so many noobs?
Jack: When cells multiply in the process of mitosis, they just keep on separating. That’s what happened with MP. I took Intro to Bio for my J-Term, and that’s why.

MP: Do you have it?
Jack: Absolutely. Every day.

MP: What is the funniest pastry and why?
Jack: Probably those Little Debbie Donuts. I think they are funny because they are powdery and small.

MP: Which noob would win in a chess boxing battle royale?
Jack: I gotta go with Carly; she’s got it.

MP: What is your favorite song?
Jack: “Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind.

Lane Breimhorst ?23 Lane Breimhorst ’23

Meet Lane Breimhorst ’23, a music theatre major with a costume design minor. 

MP: Who are you crushing on?
Lane: Who am I not crushing on?

MP: Which noob would win a chess boxing battle royale?
Lane: Probably Carly.

MP: How fast can you run?
Lane: I can’t; my bones are broken.

MP: What is your favorite song?
Lane: It depends on the day. Right now I am listening to “Life’s A Happy Song” from “The Muppet Movie” on repeat. It’s unfortunately not a lie.

MP: Did you ever feel like a plastic bag?
Lane: Always. Drifting through the wind. Wanting to start again.

MP: What is the funniest pastry and why?
Lane: Danish. Because of the word Danish.

MP: Do you have it?
Lane: Always.

MP: Why are there so many noobs?
Lane: We’re so funny. Couldn’t say no.
