We all know, especially after seeing this movie, that William Shatner should've walked away with the crown. The real one, not the one rigged with a bomb.

Oh, alright. Well, I'm not going to get on your case about it, but you all get on your case about it if you pull that bullshit. Anyway, my wife Megan McConville is back here tonight to talk about the first movie that has been submitted by Megan Abel. And we are talking about miscongeniality. Yes, we are.

No, that I like my husband is the only one that has a problem with it. I like it because my that was the beer my grandma would drink. Miller High Life, the champagne of beers.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

Champagne of beers, my ass. More like the raw sewage of beers, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_07 1:52

No, not the best. No, no. Natty light. Like natty ice. Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_02 1:58

I remember Keystone Light. That was the beer. Right there with it.

They were basically same made from the same place.

SPEAKER_00 2:04

High school beer.

SPEAKER_09 2:05

Our friend John had a pair of natty ice shorts, swim trunks in the Bahamas. It was something else, let me tell you. I mean, that's a good throwback. That's a good throwback. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:16

And I would never drink Miller products in that Wisconsin canoe water. That's not happening.

SPEAKER_07 2:21

I mean, I can do a lot of beers. The natty's uh the Keystones, nope, can't do um Bushlight. Yeah, bushlight. I can't does your husband drink bushlight? He seems like he would. Uh he doesn't drink a lot of beer. He is a uh whiskey kind of guy. Okay. Another score for your husband. Yeah. But like I mean, I liked him before.

SPEAKER_02 2:42

I like him even more now.

SPEAKER_07 2:44

He will because you know, his aunt drank them, and you know, that's what he grew up drinking, you know, and partying. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 2:51

Yeah. Well, who didn't drink that cheap beer when they were young? Exactly.

SPEAKER_07 2:54

So he had to. So he'll he'll drink it out of like nostalgic reasons.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

But I'm drinking some Johnny Lawrence beer right here. I mean, I'm found in my last two.

SPEAKER_07 3:03

What is it? A Johnny Lawrence?

SPEAKER_02 3:05

Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai or Karate Kid. Core's Banquet. Okay. Core's banquet.

SPEAKER_07 3:10

He likes the leaded stuff. I do like the light.

SPEAKER_02 3:13

If it wasn't already obvious.

SPEAKER_07 3:15

No, I like white too. I can't do anything too dark, too heavy. I mean, I stick to my McUltra lime cactus. Does it taste like cactus? No, it tastes like lime. Like a Bud Light Lime. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 3:27

I did have a few Guinnesses last night though, so Yeah, you did.

SPEAKER_07 3:31

You had four.

SPEAKER_02 3:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 3:32

I would have had more too, but four was all I had, so I had one of my Bahama beers and the lady I went to the duty free shop on the way home because that's I thought their beer was great. And I bought like nine beers, I think. And um the lady that was doing the You are so disgusting.

SPEAKER_02 3:52

Thank you. Oh, it's only gonna get worse from here.

SPEAKER_09 3:56

You need to stop that mess. Why? Anyways, the lady that was doing what? The mic. She was like the person on the mic for and you know, asking the questions at Trivia Night, whoever that person is called. The host. The host. There we go. That's the word I was looking for. The MC. She like came over and she was like, Oh my god, where did you get that Calic? And I was like, at the duty free shop in the Bahamas. And then she was like, Oh, I thought you might have found it around here, and because she had gone there on a cruise, but yeah. I had that, and then I had a hit off of my friend's weed pen, and I was done for the night after that.

SPEAKER_02 4:29

All right, what do you do not talk about such things on this show? It's legal in Illinois, though. Yeah, this is a family show.

SPEAKER_09 4:34

All right, so yeah, it's a family show, and you say the F bomb all the time.

SPEAKER_02 4:38

Yeah, and I get all sorts of disgusting too.

SPEAKER_07 4:41

I would prefer to smoke weed, deal with my weeds where I would drink. I can I could probably take like five gummies and go to the gym and be so productive. I would probably get so much stuff done. In fact, no, I know I would get stuff done because I used to do it.

SPEAKER_09 5:01

That's very productive. I like that's good. I like you sober, I like you drunk, and I like you on weed. You're just like a fun person all together.

SPEAKER_07 5:10

Good to know. I hope it's consistent. Like I'm pretty consistent.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

You are you should get drunk every day. Is that something we can do?

SPEAKER_07 5:19

No, I love though the judgment. Like, some people are like, oh my god, you you smoke weed, and I'm like, I know I don't get drunk like an adult. Like, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_09 5:31

I love that answer. I am totally gonna steal that next time someone judges me for smoking or eating weed. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:39

You're an adult, you're a parent. You shouldn't be doing that. It's like, well, I can go back to doing a few bumps off the coffee room, uh, off the coffee table if you like. I mean, I just figured this was uh a little bit better.

SPEAKER_09 5:49

Yeah. So yeah, for sure.

SPEAKER_07 5:52

Anyway, we could talk about other drugs when we do other movies. I that's really a conversation. It's really a conversation.

SPEAKER_02 6:00

That's really a conversation that I would not be very good in. I wasn't exactly a big drug guy back in the day. Wasn't exactly straight edge, but I the whole like being fried all the fucking time.

SPEAKER_07 6:12

Oh no, no, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 6:13

All lit up on blow all the fucking time.

SPEAKER_07 6:15

I I had a friend that was like, she did cocaine all the time whenever we went out, and I couldn't deal. And she would get these cocaine lips, and it was what are cocaine lips? I had she had this pucker of like she was on the verge of saying something, but with puckered lips, but nothing ever came out. It was like that's just always what her face looked like. She was just on the verge of saying something, and then you know, she would hop in and stuff. But I remember I went to a concert with them and everybody was on blow, and I was the only one on weed, and they're like, I'm like, yo guys, did you see?

SPEAKER_01 6:53

You're all slowed down and they're all they're all rampant.

SPEAKER_07 6:57

Like, whoa, check it out.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

Dude, take it easy, all right? You're in the red line, and I don't need you going that fast. Just chill.

SPEAKER_07 7:06

How appropriate though that we're talking drugs on an FBI episode.

SPEAKER_02 7:13

This is hardly an accurate FBI depiction here. What is this with the phone stuff? What's going on?

SPEAKER_09 7:19

I just noticed that when Lindsay and I painted the room that we missed a spot because we took the smoke detector down.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

No one's gonna see that. That smoke detector was going off and you didn't know how to turn it off, so it's in your car right now.

SPEAKER_09 7:30

I took it because it was scaring the dog. Yeah, he doesn't like that. And he doesn't like it, and I couldn't figure out how to open the smoke detector to take the battery out. So I like smashed it with my hand and put it in my car just to be safe and took it to work with me.

SPEAKER_07 7:44

Uh, my house is missing three. We have three detached um smoking alarms. One was outside for a long period of time, and I was like, I can still hear it. You have to go get it. I don't know where you threw it.

SPEAKER_02 7:59

Not far enough, apparently.

SPEAKER_07 8:01

Like telling my husband, you have to all I hear outside. Like I'm going nuts. And it just echoes into the distance of the fields.

SPEAKER_02 8:09

And I just like the tell the telltale heart. Yes, you could put it underneath the floorboards, and you'd still hear it.

SPEAKER_07 8:15

Oh my god. Yeah, yeah. I'm I'm gonna, yep, great reference to it. I'm gonna-that's my Edgar Allan Poe moment in life. Perfect.

SPEAKER_05 8:23

I love it.

SPEAKER_02 8:24

Well, we were able to stick to the topic of miscongeniality there for a while. Then it all got all sorts of messed up with Miller products and cocaine and smoke detectors. With all that being said, let's get to the trailer.

SPEAKER_08 8:45

Sir, besides please, it's emergency official business, ma'am. Hey hey, hey, good luck. FBI, you might want to stay out of this, all right, sir? All right, I would like eight double tall lattes, one with no phone.

SPEAKER_04 8:59

Special agent Gracie Hart is as tough as nails, and she's got a lot of rage, and she's completely unpolished. Are you a lesbian?

SPEAKER_08 9:13

That I wish.

SPEAKER_04 9:17

But when the FBI needs an undercover agent, the bombers picked another target. We have ourselves a national emergency.

SPEAKER_08 9:24

It's the Miss United States pageant.

SPEAKER_03 9:26

The only man for the job is a woman. You can do a few butt-shaping exercises, tighten this up. You can pull this off.

SPEAKER_08 9:33

You know what? Fold this off.

SPEAKER_04 9:37

Let's go, girls. These people want to put one of their uh agents in the pageant. Do you have an agent in mind? Sorry. She doesn't look the part. There's no way on earth that I can make this woman ready in two days. She's dirty Harriet. She doesn't act the part.

SPEAKER_08 9:56

Come on, I have to live my gym some uh girl talking. It's my beer, and she's gonna throw it up anyway.

SPEAKER_04 10:03

She doesn't want the part.

SPEAKER_08 10:05

I'm not gonna wait around and like some fair head pimple.

SPEAKER_03 10:07

Discovery, your perfect day.

SPEAKER_06 10:10

I'd have to say April 25th.

SPEAKER_04 10:13

But she's about to prove anything is possible.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

This December celebration.

SPEAKER_04 10:34

Get ready for the new face of the Big Bialogy. Of course, he had a gun. This is Texas. Everybody has a gun. My florist has a gun.

SPEAKER_03 10:46

What is the one thing our society needs?

SPEAKER_08 10:50

World peace. World peace. World peace. Harsher punishment for parole violators, Dan. And world peace.

SPEAKER_02 11:05

You know, I have it in my notes that, you know, later on the crowd gets quiet. This movie is set in Texas. The pageant is happening in Texas. And everyone is saying world peace, which, yes, that would be a wonderful thing. We all want it. All right. We all want it. We all gotta strive to try and get it. I understand that. But she is talking about harsher punishments for parole violators in Texas. And that doesn't go over in Texas.

SPEAKER_07 11:32

It's not that she's talking about that in Texas. It's that she's a pretty woman in a pageant, and they're like, hmm?

SPEAKER_02 11:39

Yeah, but it's pretty women aren't allowed to have an opinion.

SPEAKER_07 11:42

Do you have a brain? Like the second she got a makeover, I mean, let's be honest, she became the perfect woman.

unknown 11:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 11:49

Yeah, she did.

SPEAKER_02 11:51

But my point is, and I'm gonna try to do this part in my best Hank Hill voice. It's Texas, and she's talking about harsher punishments for parole violators. I mean, what are we talking about here? Honestly.

SPEAKER_07 12:07

No, I think it was just the shock value of a pretty woman. I know talking. I know, right? And knowing what she's talking about. The good old. You might be very intimidated with both of us in the room right now. Yes, 100%.

SPEAKER_02 12:24

No, no. I I like to think that I carry myself through life with just a proper amount of toxic masculinity. It's been working out pretty well so far. And I don't mess with success.

SPEAKER_07 12:40

Two Megan's two Aries. 86 squared 40.

SPEAKER_09 12:45

Same year. Born in the same year.

SPEAKER_01 12:48

So?

SPEAKER_09 12:49

That just means we're double trouble. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_07 12:51

Yeah. Closing in.

SPEAKER_05 12:54

Or you would say, we're closing in. Closing in.

SPEAKER_02 12:59

We're closing in, guys. But you always make me sound like Eeyore.

SPEAKER_09 13:04

Because you do sound like.

SPEAKER_02 13:05

I do not sound like Eeyore. I do not sound like Eeyore, damn it. Oh, what in the hell are you talking about? This movie was released December 22nd in 2000, Megan.

SPEAKER_09 13:18

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 13:20

How many years of Hank Hill have you heard?

SPEAKER_09 13:23

I've heard too many Hank Hills. I've heard Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump. Who else do you do?

SPEAKER_02 13:30

Who else do I do?

SPEAKER_09 13:33

Well, who else do you do well?

SPEAKER_02 13:34

Uh I think you just named them all.

SPEAKER_09 13:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

I've gone through drive-throughs doing my my Bernie Sanders impression.

SPEAKER_09 13:40

He has culvers here in town. And they just kind of like get quiet, like, huh?

SPEAKER_02 13:45

Yeah. It's kind of funny. It is actually kind of funny.

SPEAKER_07 13:47

Order a cheeseburger, Bernie Sanders. He does.

SPEAKER_02 13:51

Okay, look, look, look, look. Okay. We are living in dangerous times. Okay. It's getting to the point where the middle and the lower class cannot go through a covers drive-thru and order two scoops on a cone and only get paid for one. Okay, that has got to change. Alright? When you be doing things like in Belgium and Norway and Finland, they are guaranteeing two scoops of vanilla custard per person as a human right.

SPEAKER_07 14:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 14:21

The United States has got to catch up.

SPEAKER_07 14:23

All you have to do is like go up like a little bit higher, and then you're like Larry David.

SPEAKER_02 14:29

It's like it gets better the more, the more I move my hands above my head, it gets better. Okay. These are dangerous times. It's like I told our mutual friend Leslie, she came up with a spray tan. I said, the United States is the only country that does not guarantee spray tans to spray tans are not only for the top one-tenth of the top 1%, Megan. Okay. Let us go to church.

SPEAKER_07 14:52

Oh my god. All right. This episode's gonna be long.

SPEAKER_02 14:57

No, no, we're only about 15 minutes in. We're doing fine. Released December 22nd, 2000, written by Mark Lawrence, Katie Ford, and Karen Lucas, and directed by Donald Petrie. It stars Sandra Bullock, Benjamin Brett, Candace Bergen, William Shatner, Ernie Hudson, and Michael Cain.

SPEAKER_09 15:17

Michael Kane was the butler from Batman, right? For Dark Eyes.

SPEAKER_02 15:20

Yes, he was. I thought so. Alfred Pennyworth.

SPEAKER_07 15:23

Yeah, I loved him as this character so much. Did you get mold by a target? Victor Melling.

SPEAKER_01 15:30

Yeah, he was cool.

SPEAKER_07 15:31

I really, I mean, he is he always plays kind of a likable, you know, we get deep for a moment, give you perspective on life, uh, character, but I loved him as this flamboyant gay man. The pageant coach. I loved him.

SPEAKER_09 15:48

It was great. He was great.

SPEAKER_07 15:49

And the banter between him and Gracie.

SPEAKER_09 15:52

Yeah. It was very father and daughter-like.

SPEAKER_07 15:56

Um, no.

SPEAKER_06 15:56

I thought I don't know your relationship with your dad.

SPEAKER_07 16:02

Maybe you have that banter. Maybe it's healthy. I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 16:05

I don't have a relationship with my dad.

SPEAKER_07 16:08

Okay. Sorry. But no, I just thought it was like a moron. They were just like catty, catty little girls. I mean the moments, but we'll get there. We'll get there.

SPEAKER_02 16:22

Yes. Uh, let's see here. Miss Congeniality. The film begins on a schoolyard playground in early 80s New Jersey with a young Gracie Hart as she stops a bully from picking on a smaller kid in class. Am I right? Was that the kid from uh was that one of the twins from Big Daddy?

SPEAKER_09 16:39

I don't know. I don't think so. I think that was Big Daddy came out in like mid 2000s 99. Oh, maybe it was.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Yep. So it might have been.

SPEAKER_07 16:49

I'll have to back on that real quick. I don't think that looked like the kid, but I don't think they had the same face.

SPEAKER_01 16:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 16:58

He was a cute kid. He was on Friends. That uh the Big Daddy twins were friends.

SPEAKER_02 17:03

Dylan and Cole or some shit. Uh Sprouse or Spruce.

SPEAKER_07 17:09

They played Ben on Friends. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 17:11

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 17:12

They were cute when they were little, and then they got older and they had a Disney show for a long time there.

SPEAKER_02 17:19

Yeah, I never saw it.

SPEAKER_09 17:20

I don't know if it's still on. Yeah, his name is Cole Sprouse.

SPEAKER_02 17:23

Was he in this movie?

SPEAKER_09 17:24

Um, I'm looking still. I just got to his filmography.

SPEAKER_02 17:28

Alright. So yeah, you go ahead and look and look that up, please. Uh let's see here. She stops a bully from picking out a smaller kid in class. Her efforts are for naught, though, as she tells the boy in her own awkward way that she likes him. This results in him insulting her, and Gracie is forced to dish out a mini beat down to him as well.

SPEAKER_07 17:47

I have to say, real quick, young Gracie Hart.

SPEAKER_02 17:50

Jump in, jump in whenever you like.

SPEAKER_07 17:51

I love that she beats the crap out of him when she gets rejected. I mean, as a woman, we are subjected to ridicule after rejecting a guy, so I am all for her kicking his ass. You go.

SPEAKER_09 18:02

I agree. That was one thing that I made a note about. I was like, I immediately thought.

SPEAKER_07 18:06

I just saved you too. Like, fuck you.

SPEAKER_09 18:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 18:08

I just saved you. Yeah, yeah. Fuck your brother. I'm grateful.

SPEAKER_09 18:13

When she helps that kid, I was like, this is gonna backfire on her. And it did. And I was like, you shouldn't have helped. No. Can't do anything nice for anybody as a woman.

SPEAKER_07 18:24

Gracie Hart can't help but do good. She really, really can't. Yeah. That's true. Her heart. Interesting point that you made there.

SPEAKER_02 18:32

Interesting point that you made because we fast forward to adult and FBI special agent Gracie Hart, played by Sandra Bullock, as she is running surveillance on a sting operation to bust a Russian mobster. The sting nearly results in a total and complete failure due to Hart not following orders. So we'll go ahead and uh follow up on how she can't help but do good there, Megan.

SPEAKER_07 18:56

Yeah, she can't help but do good. I love this scene that we come into when she's undercover. Because she's undercover as herself. If you notice, like she looks like her civilian self. She is her civilian self.

SPEAKER_09 19:12

She is. And honestly, she was trying to do good. That guy, she didn't want that guy to die in that way.

SPEAKER_07 19:18

No, exactly. She was, you know, the purple Russian trying to save the purple, the purple Russian from choking on a peanut.

SPEAKER_02 19:26

Almost got her throat slit in the process, too.

SPEAKER_07 19:29

But got her friend shot in the Oh, he was just a fellow agent.

SPEAKER_02 19:34

I don't think she I don't think she's a few.

SPEAKER_07 19:35

Well, fellow agent, co-worker.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

She didn't have a lot of friends.

SPEAKER_07 19:38

No, she doesn't.

SPEAKER_02 19:39

Yeah. I don't think she really has any friends. But at the same time, um, mission is almost a total complete failure, but at the same time, we see that Gracie Hart is a more than capable and highly talented field agent when it comes to instinct and self-defense. At the next morning's briefing, the Bureau shows yet another threatening letter from a terrorist bomber known as the Citizen. Holy shit. What a lame name.

SPEAKER_05 20:08

The Citizen.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

FBI director uh McDonald, that's literally his character's name, it's just McDonald. I didn't even have a first name. Played by Ernie Hudson, has chosen special agent Eric Matthews, played by Benjamin Brad, to organize a squad to capture the citizen. Please. Megan. Megan. I know you I know you want to say something yourself.

SPEAKER_07 20:32

First, before, um, I love I love all of the character choices, like the um actor choices for these roles. I love them. Uh, who is it? Uh Ernie Hudson. Um, he always plays such a good captain, lieutenant, director. I mean, he's so good at those parts. Um course.

SPEAKER_02 20:54

He was Winston.

SPEAKER_07 20:55

But I was gonna go back to the beginning of like when uh I I loved when um Gracie, like after she kind of fails at her part of you know, kind of getting in trouble and getting reprimanded for saving the Russian and getting everybody in danger, that she like goes back to her apartment and she's frustrated and kicks the bed and you know, does all these things. I also learned that it was an improv moment. Oh, really? Yeah, that she, you know, went in there and as she was just like kicking frustrated and then the microwave she was there.

SPEAKER_01 21:33

How to use a microwave the wooden spatula to keep that shit closed.

SPEAKER_09 21:38

Except her boxing in that scene, it just felt cringy to me. Like it just seemed weird.

SPEAKER_02 21:44

No, she kept on dropping her left.

SPEAKER_09 21:46

Yeah, I was like wondering how you felt about that one.

SPEAKER_02 21:48

Oh, uh, I will say this uh her boxing was better than Father Karis and The Exorcist. I remember watching that movie and watching Father Karis hit the bag. I'm like, dude, your balance is awful, your punches are awful. All over the damn place. You've got no balance and you know nothing about defense. Like, sorry, Padre, you throw one wild hook like that and it gets blocked, you're leaving that chin wide open. Your ass is kissing cans. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 22:14

When you watch a movie and it's something that you have knowledge in that they're failing at, like, you know, like the military movies, it's the ops for the guys. I know my husband will be like, oh my God, he would never, he would just get shot if he held his gun that way. Going around the corner. Oh yeah. You know, and all those things. So it definitely is funny. Like, no, I watch the boxing on this.

SPEAKER_02 22:36

Well, are you uh are you a Sopranos fan at all?

SPEAKER_07 22:39

Uh ish. I ish. Yeah, I had gotten into it and I never finished it. It's on my bucket list to like go from beginning to end.

SPEAKER_02 22:47

Well, how far did how far did you get? Sorry to cut you off, but how far?

SPEAKER_07 22:50

Uh God, I don't even I don't even really know. Oh, okay. Yeah, I was just gonna say because a lot of people died. I couldn't tell you what their names were.

SPEAKER_02 23:00

I just I have a theory um on one episode in the fifth season, and not I know exactly when it was, so I'm not really sure why I had to ask myself that question. But I have a theory of what happens is is a certain person finds out that his fiance has been talking to the feds for about a year and a half, and he decides to go to Tony with it, and she ends up getting taken for a getting put out to pasture, taken for a ride on the interstate, then on the highway, then out in the middle of the damn woods, and there she goes, she's gone, out of commission. And I think in real life that she would have gotten taken out, sure, but then the other guy, the guy that was actually a made guy, a soldier, he would have been gone too. But that didn't happen that way in the show, so sorry for the spoiler or potential spoiler.

SPEAKER_09 23:58

Good job. Ruined Megan's time now. Oh, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 24:01

That's what that's what I do. I I ruin I ruin times, I ruin events.

SPEAKER_07 24:04

Uh I'm not gonna remember.

SPEAKER_02 24:06

I make serious I make serious moments awkward with immature humor or inappropriate humor, or both.

SPEAKER_07 24:13

I mean, yeah, same.

SPEAKER_02 24:15

It's a defense mechanism.

SPEAKER_07 24:16

I mean, I laugh in people's faces at inappropriate times.

SPEAKER_02 24:21

It's really a self-loathing thing. Actually, that's bullshit. I don't I don't self-loathe at all. Actually, a pretty big fan of myself.

SPEAKER_09 24:27

So I laugh at people when they get hurt. Like one time, um, no, this is a really bad story. I haven't told this because I'm kind of embarrassed about it, but why not do it on a podcast?

SPEAKER_05 24:36

Yeah, why not?

SPEAKER_09 24:37

So my mom had rented out a house that she had bought in town here to my friend. We'll call her, we'll call her Misty, okay? And it's not Missy. I'll tell you the actual people's names, okay, after the episode. Oh, oh, here's a lot of people. You'll know if you know how to do it. You know who here we're using aliases? Well, for the people that I'm talking about, yeah. Okay. So, but you know who these guys are because my mom, it was on Stewart Street. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know, I know that. So, you know, so the kids that were renting it, one of the kids' grandma wanted to come see the house that her grandson was living in, and she stepped up into the kitchen. There was like kind of a big step from the uh garage into the kitchen door. And she tripped and fell, and she was just kind of like laying there, like a little seal. Just, I mean, and I and I just and I just started laughing because I was standing in the garage because it was still my mom's house, but also my friend's brother's house now. He was renting, and I like had to run away because I was laughing so hard at it because I felt so bad.

SPEAKER_07 25:49

But anyway, hey, we've all done things. I can't believe I mean my husband probably has on a list of things like something I've done that's highly inappropriate.

SPEAKER_09 26:06

No, she didn't make a noise like that, but she looked like a little movement. It was she was just like just how she was poised, just how she wasn't paralyzed or anything. I think she broke her hip though. She was like 80, and it was like, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 26:23

Well, I it what this really wasn't a moment of laughing at somebody getting hurt, although this person that I'm talking about, I would have paid money to see this asshole get hurt because he was really just yeah, he was just a stupid fucker. But anyway, I used to work with this fucking clown, and what happened was I was on the freezer dock, right? And in the blast freezer, it was it had been raining a lot, and the roof leaked while the water was dripping into the freezer, landing on the side of these storage racks, and just forming these huge ass um icicles. Not a good thing, looked like freaking Hoth in there, right? Right, so this guy, they these guys are they taped off the doorway and they're up there in the man lift and knocking this shit down, knocking all the ice down, scooping it up, putting these big vats, and the guy was driving out there, dumping this shit out um out the dock door, because it was summertime, so it would just melt. I gotta admit, even though I did not get along with this guy, he had a pretty good thing going on there right there for a while.

SPEAKER_05 27:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:27

Just driving out there, drive up to the door, dump it, go back, get some more. Well, one time, I guess a little bit of moisture fell on the forks of the forklift, and the whole thing just slid and just boom, boom, boom, just fell right out the uh right out the door. I waited probably about a good two seconds before I looked up and I said, You fucking jerk. The entire dock were rolling.

SPEAKER_00 27:53

Everyone was laughing at this guy.

SPEAKER_02 27:55

He said they're looking at me, he's like, What the hell are you laughing at? I said it's pretty fucking obvious what I'm laughing at, you asshole, and we're all laughing at you. Not that we ever needed an excuse to laugh at this guy, but that was good enough for us.

SPEAKER_07 28:08

Yeah. You know what else I laughed at? What? I laughed at the part that um Gracie was in the bar and she orders a pint and it's Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice cream, and she's talking about how she's gonna get chipped faced.

SPEAKER_09 28:24

Oh my god. Yeah, I forgot about that.

SPEAKER_07 28:26

Did you guys not get to that? Yeah, I never caught that.

SPEAKER_02 28:30

Never caught that.

SPEAKER_07 28:32

I'm telling you, I love this movie for like the little hidden like I gotta admit, so I'm I've never been wild about this movie, but I do have to admit, watching it, getting ready for this show, I did find myself laughing at some certain parts. Oh, I I was chuckling the whole time.

SPEAKER_02 28:50

Yeah. All right. So now that we've realized that my wife really likes it when people get hurt, it's the source of amusement for her. Let's um forget all about that and let's just keep moving on. So Gracie puts together that the citizen intends to bomb the Miss United States pageant because of course they do. And the Bureau decides to send the incredibly unfeminine heart in undercover as Miss New Jersey, much to much to the surprise of pageant co-head Stan Fields, played by William Shatner. Love it. Yes, and the dislike of Kathy Morningside, played by Candace Bergen. I had to do the William Shatner little Canadian kind of He's dead, isn't he? No.

SPEAKER_09 29:37

Oh no. Who's that career wise?

SPEAKER_07 29:39

Kathy Morningside played by Candace Bergen.

SPEAKER_02 29:43

Megan, what are you talking about?

SPEAKER_09 29:46

Who is the Star Trek guy that died?

SPEAKER_02 29:49

Um probably Leonard Nimoy.

SPEAKER_09 29:52

That's who I'm thinking of, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:53

That's that's been a while ago now. Yeah, he's he's been gone for a while.

SPEAKER_07 29:56

Oh my god, I loved him.

SPEAKER_02 29:57

He was good, he was one of the best.

SPEAKER_07 29:59

I was a truckie more than a Star Wars. The cameo on um Get Out That one TV show. Sorry, not sorry.

SPEAKER_02 30:07

Which one?

SPEAKER_09 30:08

The Bing Bang Theory, didn't he? Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.

SPEAKER_02 30:11

Probably George Sakai, too.

SPEAKER_09 30:13

George Sakai, that's isn't he dead? That's who I'm thinking of. Okay. Then it was Leonard Nimoy. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:19

Um, I want to say, I think, oh man, I feel so bad for not remembering her real name, but I think Lieutenant Lieutenant Uhura passed away a few years back.

SPEAKER_09 30:30

Oh, I didn't even know there was a woman in that show. Yep. Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 30:32

Yep.

SPEAKER_09 30:32

She uh what I know.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

Yeah, she was a woman of color on that show, and this was like back in the 60s. So she broke some barriers herself.

SPEAKER_07 30:42

Like the linguist, like she would hear and translate the you know, alien talk, and she was kind of linguist and she was a badass, so sexy, but she also like her character um she was and Spock were kind of a thing. Um yeah, I can break it down. We can do Star Trek anytime. We can do any Star Trek movie you want to do. Sure, sure we can Wrath of Khan, let's go.

SPEAKER_02 31:10

Oh my I think my brother would actually probably want to come out for that one. He loves Wrath of Khan.

SPEAKER_07 31:17

I mean, so good, so good.

SPEAKER_02 31:19

Little Ricardo Monthleban. Anyway, so if we can get off the whole Star Trek thing for a while. So to pull this off, Kathy Coles and legendary pageant makeover artist Victor Melling, played by Michael Cain. And he is tasked with transforming heart from the beer chugging, ass-kicking fed to a lovely and graceful pageant contestant, which over the span of two days he pulls off brilliantly.

SPEAKER_07 31:45

Wait, wait, before you go on, we did not even touch base on the fact that, like, uh she oh god, where was I? Um, what was I gonna say?

SPEAKER_09 31:56

Damn it. I hate when that happens.

SPEAKER_07 31:59

I do too.

SPEAKER_09 31:59

It's the worst feeling.

SPEAKER_02 32:01

Second time I've been interrupted.

SPEAKER_07 32:02

I was playing jump rope with what you had to say, and I was like, uh, you know, like double dutch of like, when am I gonna go in? When am I gonna go in?

SPEAKER_02 32:08

I completely got it. I saw you put your hand up, I just chose not to acknowledge it.

SPEAKER_06 32:14

Oh, you're so mean.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

Uh this is all just this. I'm not mean. This is nothing more than just camaraderie.

SPEAKER_07 32:21

We have to go back to Victor meeting Gracie and that whole funny aspect of it because that was amazing.

SPEAKER_02 32:34

Before she before we're introduced to Gracie Lou Freebush.

SPEAKER_07 32:38

Yes. Which I mean, her and uh Gracie. Uh Agent Matthews, when they were duking it out, like I was like, God, I want to kick someone's ass too. Like she held her own. She did. But no, when Victor and her meet at their at the dinner.

SPEAKER_02 33:01

I can't even remember what drink he orders, but he looks at her. Another keg for you.

SPEAKER_07 33:04

Well, yeah, and she's so loud to get through her chewing.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

Yeah, I'm sorry, but it was like she'd talk him with her mouth full and everything.

SPEAKER_07 33:14

And he's just so disgusted. Michael Cain, like, what is such a great option. I just love his face so much. The disgust on it. And then when they're walking and he's like, You have to glide, glide, glide, and she's like, I'm freaking gliding. He's like, not stomp your feet. And then the cab almost sits on, and she's like, Hey, watch it! I'm gliding here. Oh, I love that. I love that line.

SPEAKER_09 33:40

That was a good line.

SPEAKER_07 33:41

Like, there's just so many good little parts in this movie that was so much. Okay, yes, we're at the pageant. She's gonna meet these girls.

SPEAKER_02 33:50

Yes. While Hart is undercover, she begins to befriend several of the other contestants, but also begins to suspect Stan Fields and Kathy Morningside when she learns they're both being forced out to bring in newer and younger talent to host the pageant. When someone is falsely named and arrested as the citizen, McDonald and the rest of the agencies had to pack up and split. Very good law enforcement work there, McDonald. Hart thinks that McDonald is wrong and requests to stay behind and remain in the pageant. McDonald grants this request, but only after firing Hart. He does fire her, right? I mean, that's pretty much what it means when it's, you know, turn in your badge and gun.

SPEAKER_07 34:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:34

It pretty much means your shit canned.

SPEAKER_07 34:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 34:36

It'll be a Renicop somewhere.

SPEAKER_07 34:37

Yeah, but a lot of great things happened in this time frame that you were talking about. A lot of great things. Like she gets there, she gets to the Barbie tent. It's Operation Thong. Um, she she has to pray for her bagel and shmiya. You know, we get down on a knee to like play the part, and then we're gonna meet these girls and try to befriend them and also be on top of her game. Like it's a lot. It is a lot she does.

SPEAKER_02 35:10

I'm sure it has to be astronomically challenging to go undercover at a beauty pageant.

SPEAKER_07 35:18

Oh, yeah. Also, like another favorite part of Victor and her spanter that I love so much is when they're talking about the talent. And what it what did she say? I have I have the comment right here. Oh, oh, um, I haven't done it since high school, and it's like riding a bike, and he's like, You will not have sex on this stage.

SPEAKER_01 35:39

I didn't know that was an option.

SPEAKER_09 35:41

I do love that one too. That was a good one.

SPEAKER_07 35:46

Oh, yeah, and the question portions, you know, of course that's where we get our quote. April 25th. It's you know, not too hot, not too cold, just a light jacket.

SPEAKER_02 35:56

You know, the funny thing is, sorry, sorry to interrupt, but the funny thing is, we almost recorded this on April 25th. I know.

SPEAKER_07 36:04

I yeah, we we should have. We're at April 26th, but April 25th, yesterday was so beautiful. It wasn't too hot, it wasn't too cold, it was the perfect all you needed was a light jacket, all you needed was a light jacket. Yeah, so I love that.

SPEAKER_02 36:20

Yesterday was a gorgeous day. It really was. Way too nice to be inside doing this. That's a temperature.

SPEAKER_09 36:25

I did work from home a little bit yesterday on the back patio while I was seasoning the Blackstone, so it was nice.

SPEAKER_07 36:30

Yeah, it was beautiful. And then, you know, we get that's when we get her answer of the parole violations. We need harsher punishments for parole violations and world peace. And world peace. And world peace world peace.

SPEAKER_02 36:45

The pageant happens as planned, but Eric Matthews and Victor Melling return to help heart after learning that Kathy's creepy ass son Frank has all sorts of a sketchy past. DUI, assault, weapon charge, the whole schmear. I'm gonna go ahead and make a little side note here that Kathy is actually the citizen and has been working alongside her son the entire time. This tidbit of information is known to us, but obviously not known to anyone else. Kathy and Frank swap out the crown with an exact duplic uh duplicate that is somehow fitted with a bomb. How the hell are you gonna fit a bomb on that thing, but whatever, it's a movie. With the plan for the bomb to be detonated at the crowning ceremony. Brutal. That's what I literally have written in all caps. That is freaking brutal.

SPEAKER_07 37:35

Not a lie. It was brutal.

SPEAKER_02 37:37

It was lovable but incredibly sheltered. Miss Rhode Island is crowned, is crowned Miss United States and not Miss Satan's panties, with Hart being the runner-up. Hart tries to tell Rhode Island to not take the crown, but is unheard due to the odd due to the audience's applause. Matthews is fighting with Frank, for some reason having trouble with Frank's schlebias to prevent him from setting off the bomb, and Kathy ends up with a remote detonator. Hart chucks the ground towards the stage's backdrop just as Kathy detonates the bomb. Kathy and Frank are arrested, and Matthews and Hart fall for one another and kiss as a final culmination of obvious sexual tension throughout the entire film. And that is the end of the movie. I know.

SPEAKER_07 38:25

First off, Frank was so creepy. He was so cringy. Does this movie get made today?

SPEAKER_02 38:33

Seriously, does this movie get made today?

SPEAKER_07 38:35

You know, not a lot of them do. No. Not a lot of them do. He gave me like that's because no one has a sense of humor anymore. Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 38:42

That's true. Sad. Sad sadsies.

SPEAKER_07 38:45

They're the new emo.

SPEAKER_09 38:48

I do have to say about Frank though, like he gave me the creeps. He like always had his shirt on tucked. Like he was always walking around, you know, playing with his, you know, toy parts. Yeah, jerking off. Being weird with Miss Texas. Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 39:03

And Miss Washington. Nice apples. Rule originally come over that yourself.

SPEAKER_07 39:07

Yeah, he he gave the ick factor. I I did love the ending of this. I mean, uh, from the childlike cry and face from Cheryl Lee as her moment is being ruined. The punch to Texas, which I felt was symbolic. You know, Jersey whacking Texas, a good one. Stan Fields, oh shit, as Gracie leaps onto stage, and then him singing throughout the set. The Miss America anthem in all of the man. Yeah. And like the set is burning.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

You got the Statue of Liberty all messed up back then. I felt that was a little disrespectful.

SPEAKER_07 39:52

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_09 39:53

But you know. But it was early 2000s, and you know.

SPEAKER_07 39:57

Yeah, before before 9-11. Yeah. Like we we understood the gratitude in this movie, like the multitude of this movie, the magnitude. That's the word I'm looking for. The magnitude of this moment of like, oh my God, the whole set is being set on fire.

SPEAKER_02 40:14

And William Shatner is just doing his thing. He's just going along with everything.

SPEAKER_07 40:17

Yeah. Also, like the sexual tension. Uh, the you want to date me, you want to kiss me, that you love me.

SPEAKER_02 40:28

I'm gonna tell you something right now, especially once again. Sorry to cut you off, but once again, um, especially Agent Matthews, he needs to chill with the occasional smacking on the ass there. As he does it a few times throughout the entire I mean, it's like, dude, you lose your job that way.

SPEAKER_07 40:43

You want to talk if this movie is gonna be made. There are so many moments that it's inappropriate in this movie. I mean, from them doing the um dress up Sally software on all of the agents, and it was primarily women first, and then they started to do like what we got to see two men.

SPEAKER_09 41:04

Yeah, that was one of my dislikes. I just felt that was a little wrong and same, not funny to me.

SPEAKER_07 41:10

Same.

SPEAKER_09 41:11

Yeah, and the smacking of the ass, too. Like I did not like that. I was like, there is no way people would put up with that.

SPEAKER_02 41:18

You could lose your job though.

SPEAKER_09 41:19

Now, yeah, no, but she'll we know someone that lost their job for smacking ass.

SPEAKER_02 41:23

She honestly You could lose your job the week of your wedding for doing that.

SPEAKER_09 41:27

She honestly we'll have we have a story, we'll tell you later.

SPEAKER_02 41:31

Not here, not here, not while the mics are on. But yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, Megan.

SPEAKER_07 41:35

But she honestly saw herself as like one of the guys, so it was kind of hard to be like super mad at the behavior because she really put herself as an equal amongst these men. Like she saw no difference.

SPEAKER_02 41:51

Oh, I've I've worked with plenty of women at previous jobs where it's like they're one of the boys, and it's that's not an insult. And I've I've had to tell them that I'm like, don't take that the wrong way. That's not an insult. When I say you're one of the boys, that means like, hey, not that this would happen, but hey, we're gonna go, it's Friday, we're gonna go split a couple of pitches of beer. Come with us.

SPEAKER_07 42:14

I also it also means like I'm not attracted to you.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

And there's I mean, there there have been plenty of men that I've worked with, they weren't one of the boys. It's like, yeah, no, sorry.

SPEAKER_07 42:26

They were a victor. No, Victor.

SPEAKER_02 42:29

We just didn't like them.

SPEAKER_07 42:31

They could have been a victor, but one of the oh, oh yeah, a Frank.

SPEAKER_02 42:35

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 42:36

Yeah, Frank's not one of the Ted Bondy, no.

SPEAKER_02 42:38

Yeah, he he would not be invited. But oh, can I come? No, no, well, you can come, it's a free country, but you're not sitting with us. Yeah, we're going to this bar and then we go to a different one.

SPEAKER_07 42:49

But uh I've done that to somebody before. Ouch. But I was talking about the sexual tension before. Yep. Uh yeah, the the amount of times that I said this line though on dates that I thought made me cute and so cultured, so pop cultured. And I was like, I'm gonna make you think of Sandra Bullock when you're on a date with me, and like hopefully you put us in the same bubble. Look how quirky I am, and just like so cool and chill. We could basically be Miss Congeniality.

SPEAKER_02 43:26

I have no response to that whatsoever. Sorry. I got nothing.

SPEAKER_07 43:30

I tried desperately to be her. Like after she got hot, I was like, you know, I'm gonna if I could be a Sandra Bullock, if only, you know.

SPEAKER_02 43:41

I gotta admit that is one of my likes is after the makeover is complete, she did look fantastic. Cannot deny that. She looked amazing.

SPEAKER_07 43:48

Yeah, she did look good. I think I read somewhere that she for real tripped at the premiere of this movie.

SPEAKER_02 43:56

I read that too.

SPEAKER_07 43:57

Yeah, I think so, like coming out of the limo.

SPEAKER_02 43:59

Yeah. Like it wasn't to be funny.

SPEAKER_09 44:02

Like she maybe she is a klutz, which makes me like her even more than I already do.

SPEAKER_02 44:07

Like she really genuinely ate shit.

SPEAKER_07 44:10

Well, Sandra Bullock was really like America's sweetheart of that time. Yeah, she was in a lot of movies around that time. She was just America's sweetheart. So she was adorable and hot.

SPEAKER_02 44:20

What was that one she did? Was it the net? She did um a few years prior, she did speed.

SPEAKER_09 44:28

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 44:29

That was uh Keanu reviews.

SPEAKER_07 44:31

Always handling high uh hot girl handling high-tense situations.

SPEAKER_02 44:35

Unfortunately, unfortunately did so.

SPEAKER_07 44:37

Don't we all want to be that?

SPEAKER_02 44:40

And even more unfortunate, I've heard rumors of a practical magic, too.

SPEAKER_07 44:45

It is happening. So exciting. Yeah, I saw the preview.

SPEAKER_02 44:49

Oh yeah, oh yeah, not rumors excited. Oh yeah, there is a thing here off there.

SPEAKER_07 44:54

So sexy in that movie.

SPEAKER_02 44:55

Someone's gotta be excited for that.

SPEAKER_07 44:56

Just saying.

SPEAKER_09 44:57

I want to watch it, but every time I watch it, the dog is with me and he barks at the cat. Like I can get 10 minutes into the movie and then go to my house and watch it. I would love that. I would love to watch that.

SPEAKER_06 45:08

I totally come over to my house and watch it.

SPEAKER_02 45:09

Cool.

SPEAKER_06 45:10

SPEAKER_09 45:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 45:12

Excellent. Probably even worse than the cat.

SPEAKER_09 45:15

I should come over when there's a storm and we can watch it when it's storming outside at night.

SPEAKER_02 45:20

I don't know what's worse. The fact that they're coming out with a sequel to that or uh coming out with the Double Wars Prada 2.

SPEAKER_09 45:27

I'm excited for that.

SPEAKER_02 45:29

I'm not.

SPEAKER_07 45:31

SPEAKER_09 45:33

Okay, Practical Magic 2 is coming out on uh September 11th, 2026.

SPEAKER_09 45:51

Um okay, just like this was just something that I noticed was I loved when morningside is it's morningside or slide? I think it's morningside. Morningside, okay.

SPEAKER_00 46:03

Freebush. I just like saying that name Freebush.

SPEAKER_09 46:07

When she stands up to talk to the agents about the scholarship program, and she stands perfectly in front of one of the um pageant tees or whatever, and the crown is perfectly on her head. I didn't notice that. It is so funny. Um, I don't know. It just I just thought that was kind of fun. That's a good like. Yeah. All right. Um, do you want me to keep going or are we going?

SPEAKER_02 46:33

No, we go around the room. Megan, my co-host, your turn.

SPEAKER_07 46:36

I, of course, I mentioned it before. I love the one-liners in this movie from Gracie and Victor and Agent Matthews. Yeah. Oh, we'll get to the snort on my immediately.

SPEAKER_02 46:47

Oh, we're saving that for the finale, the snort.

SPEAKER_07 46:49

No, no, no, not the finale. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 46:53

But uh lead up to it.

SPEAKER_07 46:54

It's just a list, you know?

SPEAKER_02 46:56

All right. All right. Uh, yeah. My first like is the I'm glad in here. Little nod to Midnight Cowboy. So can't beat that. All right, Megan, back to you.

SPEAKER_09 47:06

Um, I know we kind of talked about this already, but Victor, I thought he was just my favorite character of all time. Um, not of all time. Of course. Favorite character in this movie. Of all time of this movie that I watched. Yeah, exactly. You got what I was saying. Thank you. It's the Megan Aries, same year of birth twinning going on. Um, I just like that he takes his job so seriously. He's like, I'm gonna make this hideous woman into a beauty queen, whatever it takes. And he kind of had his like the job was a tough job for him. Oh but you know, he also Michael Crane also really loved this movie from what I was like in the research I was doing about it because he had been doing more serious stuff, so this lighthearted comedy, he had more fun with it and improvised a lot of his sassiness. So that just made me like him even more.

SPEAKER_07 48:01

I I love the demise of his career with the girl who froze. Yeah. He was like blacklisted for so long. Out of the pageant world.

SPEAKER_02 48:16

The widow that you're a deaf mute.

SPEAKER_07 48:18

She's so promising, and then the questions that killed him.

SPEAKER_09 48:21

Yeah, and then morningside is like, all right, these FBI agents want to come in. Let's just bring this weird dude that got black blacklisted back into the full of it all.

SPEAKER_07 48:35

That's what Kathy was thinking. Bring out the big guns. Hideous thing.

SPEAKER_02 48:39

He's unblacklisted now. He's back in the good graces.

SPEAKER_07 48:42

He's back in the game.

SPEAKER_02 48:44

All right, Megan Abel.

SPEAKER_07 48:47

You're up. Well, one of my little uh funny parts um that I really, really liked was when she was being flirty and she was finally kind of opening that door, but it still seemed like on an equal playing field. Like I said, she saw herself as one of the guys, but when they were flirting, her and Agent Matthews, and they're doing, you know, oh, you want to kiss me, and he leans in and then he just takes a big bite of that candy bar.

SPEAKER_02 49:15

I believe it was a Milky Way.

SPEAKER_07 49:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:17

A fine candy bar.

SPEAKER_07 49:19

That was one of my likes, too. Yeah. I was like, I need that move. That would be funny to play on my husband. I know. I was like, I need to do this a lot in my life.

SPEAKER_02 49:27

You can go ahead and play that move all you want. Make sure that there's a big sandwich on the table somewhere. Remember when she's uh when she's got the makeover going on? Oh yeah. And they're all digging into that big ass sandwich. Yeah. And once again, he he get he himself gets a little gets a little weird, gets a little creepy when he says, You ever seen one this big?

SPEAKER_09 49:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 49:48

And he holds up the sandwich. But it's okay because apparently he's attractive, so he can get away with that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_09 49:55

Oh, yeah. Yep. Attractive men can do whatever they want.

SPEAKER_02 49:57

Apparently, yeah. Back then and now. Alright, my next one is um, we talked about this, but I gotta hear the scene where Hart meets Victor Melling for the first time. Has his funny moments, and I'm also a big Michael Cain fan, so another cake for you.

SPEAKER_09 50:14

Another like he screams it up.

SPEAKER_01 50:18

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_09 50:20

What did he order in that scene? How good was it like an omelet? I I don't know. Oh I don't know either. But I know she had the steak and spaghetti or something.

SPEAKER_02 50:29

Yeah, steak and pasta going on. Yeah, yeah, lurping.

SPEAKER_09 50:33

Um, so my last like is when she goes out with all of the pageant girls and they're all doing shots out of test tubes. It just made me feel nostalgic a little bit because when I was in college, I was a sucker for test tube shots. If they'd walk around with them, I'd be like, another, and I'd crash.

SPEAKER_06 50:56

Another keg for me.

SPEAKER_07 51:00

So I don't know. It was just fun. I liked that.

SPEAKER_02 51:03

All right. Megan Abel, you're up.

SPEAKER_07 51:06

Um, one of my I did love her snorting. I had also read like a little fun fact that she actually like accidentally snorted in product like around production people and they thought it was super cute and they told her to use it. I also am a fellow snorter. You thought it's cute. Yeah, it used to be, I used to be hot and heavy in the snorting. Um, especially when I would drink a lot more in my younger age, it came out a lot. And then there was like, you know, was it funny based on the amount of snorts or the depth of the snort? Like if it was a charcoal.

SPEAKER_02 51:44

Like you can't decide which one you're gonna do.

SPEAKER_07 51:46

So you just kind of like like it just hit me right there in my throat, and I'm like, you know, like it comes out full force.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Yeah, that that's gotta be a sight to see. We're we're gonna have to we're gonna have to make that happen.

SPEAKER_07 52:00

Do we have any old videos on Facebook? We can look at it. God, I hope not. Yeah. It's bad enough that those come out, you know. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 52:09

All right. For me, maybe it was the course banquet causing the laughter, but there were little things throughout this movie that made me laugh, kind of on the same page as you there, Megan. Like a lot of her lame jokes where it's like, oh, not unless it's uh Miss Lama's pageant.

SPEAKER_07 52:23

I know.

SPEAKER_02 52:25

So stuff like that. But yeah, her Sandra Bullock's lame jokes with the snort, her dancing like a complete goof off the side of the stage when Rhode Island is doing the flaming uh baton twirling there.

SPEAKER_07 52:38

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it's not as lame as baton twirling, but oh, I'm so sorry.

SPEAKER_02 52:45

Well, it's like you did bring me this non-fed shitty hot chocolate. So, I mean, now we're even.

SPEAKER_09 52:50

So I can't imagine how disgusting that was.

SPEAKER_02 52:54

Yeah. All right, Megan, you're up.

SPEAKER_07 52:56

I'm done. I don't have any more here. Oh, okay, fine. Yeah, I'm going into my dislike list. Yeah. All right.

SPEAKER_02 53:01

Um, all right, and then I just got a couple more here, and um so there we go. I'll just I'll make it quick. Um, next one the scene on the plane where she's mocking the previous winner's tears and speeches and all that stuff. I found it kind of funny. I like that. Um and her reveal at her in the makeover is complete. I already talked about that, but yeah, she looks incredible. All right. Megan, what do you what do you not like about this movie?

SPEAKER_09 53:27

Um, well, we kind of talked about some of them already, but like this the man's the slapping of the asses and kind of the sexual assault stuff.

SPEAKER_02 53:37

But um, I'm not okay with the sexual assault stuff, but the occasional ass smack, I'm you know, I'm I'm more lean.

SPEAKER_09 53:43

Not in a professional setting. Fine. Or when I'm when I have a sharp knife in my hand and I'm in the kitchen. He likes to sneak up on me. And he used to he doesn't do this anymore, but he would liked.

SPEAKER_06 53:56

Is it because you got stabbed?

SPEAKER_02 53:59

No, it's it's just it's not a good time to do it. No, she's right. She's got a very sharp kitchen knife in her hand.

SPEAKER_09 54:04

So yeah. Um, but my last dislike, my only dislike from me from now on, but is um the eating her steak at the restaurant. It grossed me out. I like just the way that she was cutting it, she was like stabbing, cutting, and then like chewing with her mouth open and like arms like as wide as mix are when he's eating, and like it just was it was too much.

SPEAKER_02 54:29

What can I say? I'm a large man, I have a large appetite, okay? And when it was time for me to eat, I'm very passionate about my food. That is all I have to say on that. Megan Abel, you got something.

SPEAKER_07 54:38

Well, I just learned that I'm not going to eat wings in front of you.

SPEAKER_02 54:42

Why two extra wings?

SPEAKER_07 54:45

I mean, like, I'm uh put the whole ball into my mouth.

SPEAKER_09 54:49

Oh no, I eat wings like that too. I just this the way that she was eating and chewing and sleeping out loud, but yeah, like no, like if I got a good pair of if I got a flat, I'm gonna like stab it on my plate a little bit and then put the whole thing in my mouth and pull all of that meat right off.

SPEAKER_07 55:06

Yeah, I I have no shame in my meat game.

SPEAKER_09 55:09

Do you do you like um well? I guess the big thing is with her was it didn't look like she was enjoying the food. Like she was just inhaling it, like a man would eat.

SPEAKER_07 55:22

Yeah, but I mean it looked like she was enjoying the food.

SPEAKER_09 55:25

I mean, it was probably good. Uh are you a wing or a are you a drum or a flat? Uh I could do either. I could do either. But if you had to pick, if you can only eat one for the rest of your life, a drum. Oh, okay. Yeah. See, we vibe them because like if we were stranded on an island and we have unlimited chicken wings, I don't like the drums. Okay. I like the flats. You take the flats all day long.

SPEAKER_02 55:48

You know, I do have to say, you said something about her hacking into that steak. That looked like a pretty nice restaurant, and she did kind of have to cut into that thing like it was a Waffle House steak. So I I hear you there. I agree with you on that one.

SPEAKER_07 56:01

I had a a moment when a girlfriend took me out to a really, really nice restaurant, but I was running late at the work. No, but I would not be mad at it. I am one of those people. I love Arby's. I love Arby's. But uh, we go, uh, I had to basically get dressed in the car uh because we had, you know, a reservation. The we go through valet, they're opening the doors. I'm like literally putting on the rest of my dress, like, okay, great. You know, so this is already like the kind of person I am showing up to a nice restaurant. And then we go inside and we get this lovely meal, and we start with this quail. And I don't know if you guys have eaten quail. No, it's twice this morning, Megan. Yeah, it's a delicious bird, but it's tiny, right? And so, you know, here we are at this nice restaurant, and I do a little look around, you know, seeing if anybody's watching me, because this is a very elegant place, and I'm like, oh no, no, no, no. I've been in every I want every part of meat of this bird that I can get on this tiny little bird.

SPEAKER_02 57:10

You went medieval times on that shit, didn't you?

SPEAKER_07 57:12

I did, I did. Oh yeah, wait till you see a turkey leg. Um, but they yeah, right? And so, you know, I didn't think anybody, you know, had seen me. Next thing you know, the waiter, the Matre D, because that's what he was there. Oh the Matre D comes up. Did you get everything, ma'am? Rude though.

SPEAKER_02 57:36

Yeah, I'll say I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 57:38

I think so. I think I did. No, can I have another? Yeah, not shamed at all. Fuck you.

SPEAKER_02 57:42

You believe my freaking Irish ass got dragged to a no boo? You imagine me at a freaking nobu a no?

SPEAKER_06 57:50

I've heard of these no boos.

SPEAKER_09 57:51

What remind me it's a Japanese restaurant, but it's like they want you to spend like $350 a person and they want to do this chef-curated meal for you. So we walk in, you know, being in Vegas, drinking, you know, and partying, and um Mick and I were like, we don't know what some of this is. Like, not that we wouldn't try it, but I don't want to spend $350 on something that I don't know what it is, I don't know if I'd like it, and then try it and not like it, and then be out that kind of money. So we just kind of ordered the things that we knew that we would like, and they kind of shunned us for it there. So, but yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 58:28

And then we hit an In and Out.

SPEAKER_09 58:30

Yeah, then like a couple hours later, we went to In N Out Burger A little bit more my speed.

SPEAKER_07 58:35

My husband uh and I got married in Lake Tahoe, and after we got married, which we got married in that that morning, so in the evening we took our little wedding party out, which was just my sister, uh, the best man, and the guy who married us, and then us two. And we went to this restaurant, and we were those people that were like, just feed us. This was a nice restaurant, and I was like, Yeah, whatever the chef is making, we're gonna eat. And all of us agreed, like, that was the best meal we have ever had in our lives.

SPEAKER_09 59:07

What kind of restaurant was it?

SPEAKER_07 59:09

Um, I it I don't even know.

SPEAKER_09 59:11

It's just like an American steakhouse type of place.

SPEAKER_07 59:14

No, it I mean, this was like the tiny portions come out on your, you know, and it's a seven we had a seven course meal that was just kind of decided for us, and then Michelin rated? Uh probably up there, but I don't think it was. But I would love, I would love to go to a Michelin star restaurant.

SPEAKER_02 59:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_09 59:33

If I'm in Chicago, we should go sometimes.

SPEAKER_07 59:35

I mean, yeah. I have to take Clint. I have to take I can't go to one without Clint.

SPEAKER_02 59:39

I could I could take it or leave it. You you guys go do your Michelin star rated restaurants. I'll go grab some El Famous Burrito or something. I'm good with that.

SPEAKER_07 59:50

I hold I hold on to memories. I hold on to memories with food. So like I can tell you the best meals that I've had and who made them and who I was with and where I was, and there's like a top 10 for sure. Uh so I will spend money on food. And that's a good one.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:07

But we do we will too. It was just this experience at Nobu. We were just like, and then my friend was pregnant, so they didn't do the $300 meal either. And she she couldn't eat raw fish.

SPEAKER_07 1:00:17

Yeah, yeah. I mean, yeah, if you're not into it, if you're not feeling it, you know.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:21

I had a shower for it, I had to wear a collared shirt for it. It took me out of my element, made me a little uncomfortable. But there was food, so I persevered, I adapted, I moved on.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:31

But what we did have there was very good.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:34

That was good.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:35

Wasn't the chef curated me because we were a little scared.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:38

Yeah, and River Oaks Heroes, that was a free plug, by the way. On the offhand chance that you guys hear this, that's a free plug. So these days you can't beat a deal like that. So like you guys go to your Michelin Star restaurant, I'll go get a beef sandwich.

SPEAKER_09 1:00:51

I'm the same way as you though. I food is very important to me. And like I remember meals like you do, but it's more in like traveling. So like for the Bahamas, I hated everything I ate except for the breakfast buffet and the conch salad that was made for us by this guy in a boat. It was like ceviche type salad. Conch salad. And yeah, is that how you say it? Conch? Yeah, conch. I've been saying conch.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:22

It spelled that way. Conch.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:23

But conch, yeah. It was so good.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:26

Maybe it's a regional dialect though.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:28

I had a hot dog down there at in the middle of the night and I threw up.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:31

So it's good fun.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:33

But we should go to that sushi um restaurant in Chicago that brings it like that has a little tray or the rotating sushi restaurant.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:42

Anytime you want to try any kind of food, any kind of plate, I am your person.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:47

We need to figure out a time either like in May or June to do that.

SPEAKER_07 1:01:51

So, and I I love to get dressed up for things too.

SPEAKER_09 1:01:54

Yeah. All right. Sorry, we're off subject now.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:56

Yeah, let's say let's get to all that later. Um, I only have a couple of dislikes. I can't remember who we left off. Megan, is it you?

SPEAKER_07 1:02:04

I had a dislike of one, I never noticed uh her wig at the beginning, but I mean, like I understood because she gets fabulous, and who needs a wig on them when they're that fabulous? Yeah. Uh, but I didn't know.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:17

I I understand that entirely.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:19

Yeah, I did not like the chokers on Kathy. The the choice of her wearing these chokers. Yeah. I didn't like it. That I didn't I didn't like it, Mick.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:30

Well, okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:32

The boy from Chicago who's like, what the fuck is a choker?

SPEAKER_02 1:02:36

I was saying. I I think I know what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:40

It's a necklace.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:42

Yeah, she just wore a lot of them and I wasn't here for it.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:45

They never bothered me.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:47

I I didn't think they would. A lot of the I would have been surprised if they had.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:50

In my early 20s, a lot of the girls that thought they were goth would wear them. They didn't, they I d you know, I didn't mind it.

SPEAKER_07 1:02:58

Well, yeah, but I just didn't like them on her.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:01

Maybe that was a different kind of choker.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:03

All right.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:03

And you were a different age.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:05

That's true.

SPEAKER_07 1:03:05

And you were like, whoa, that's an actual grown-up now. So this looks like you can't take it off house, so yeah, that's awfully painful.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:15

So all right. Um, well, I already talked about one. I only have two. I mean, we already talked about the harsher punishments for parole uh violators doesn't go over in Texas. We all know how I feel about that. And the only the only other one I have is the FBI is literally involved in the pageant. Okay, the literal bomber knows that the FBI is like right there, right up her ass, and still does not decide to back off. The FBI's involved. We're not talking about some local buttfuckville sheriff. We're talking about the freaking FBI. Maybe just, you know, maybe just get over being fired and maybe not go through with this plan. I don't know. Just I'm not a I'm not a smart man, but be the way I would go. And that's it. That's all I got for dislikes. Megan, you got anything?

SPEAKER_07 1:04:07

Uh no. I didn't like the um the bomb. You didn't like the bomb? I felt like it would have done a lot more damage than it did.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:20

Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:21

And I hate when they downplay a bomb. I don't know why I don't like it in movies.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:27

Yeah, that is kind of dumb.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:28

They don't like when they downplay a bomb.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:30

Well, you see, like you see the one part where they're making the bomb. This is obviously before we know who the bomber is.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:37

Yeah, but you saw like the the the tiara on the dummy and the explosiveness and the damage that it did. And like, granted, but like this was off in the air above people's heads. Yeah. You know?

SPEAKER_02 1:04:49

Yeah, you're right.

SPEAKER_07 1:04:51

She's not. I don't know any baseball references. I was just gonna say, like, she's not a Kofax. But I don't know if that's right or not.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:01

You're close. You're close. Sandy uh was a pitcher. Okay, there we go.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:06

Yeah, yeah. All right, yeah, okay. But no great reference, Megan.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:10

But she's no, she's no Sandy Kovax.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:13

Yeah, she's no Sandy Kofax.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:15

Not even close.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:15

With the pitch. So I felt like the bomb would have done a lot more damage, but you know. She would have to keep their head with that pro, though. She could probably play disc golf pretty well.

SPEAKER_05 1:05:25

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:25

Ooh, I never thought about that. Yeah, you're right. True, true. All right. Are we all done with dislikes then?

SPEAKER_09 1:05:31

Yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:05:31

Oh, I well, I had one more. The fact that like the only woman really in this entire movie was anybody involved in the pageant. And then Sandra Vollock.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:44

What's the problem? That's the problem. He didn't like it either. He didn't like it either.

SPEAKER_09 1:05:55

Bell is coming to Kofax.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:57

Can you let him know, maybe? So that's it.

SPEAKER_06 1:06:02

That's all I had. She's got him.

unknown 1:06:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:08

What's the problem? Well, that's all I mean. The problem is, yeah, I know the problem. So that's okay. I don't need to explain it.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:15

It's not registering with me.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:16

It's okay. You're pretty though.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:19

Duh.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:21

Oh shit.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:21

Tell me something I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:23

Please don't make his go bigger than it already is. That's all he's got going for him.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:31

It's not, it's not polite to be so accurate. I made you my co-host. I can easily unmake you as my co-host.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:40

Yeah, we haven't taken our picture yet. Oh yeah. Yeah, that's true. You know what? Okay, then you need to get paperwork if you're constantly holding this over my head, mix. I won't.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:49

I won't. I actually really, really enjoyed this chemistry. All kidding aside. And I was kidding before, obviously, but yes.

SPEAKER_07 1:06:57

That's all right. I I can look at jokes about stupid man.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:01

You can give him a hard time because he's just gonna give it right back.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:04

I will.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:05

He will.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:06

That's kind of my thing. It's gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:09

Same.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:10

It's kind of held me back as to why I'm not nearly as successful as I'd like to be, but it's it's pending.

SPEAKER_07 1:07:17

So yeah. Well, I too, like Gracie, was around a lot of like guys growing up and then being in a Navy town, knowing a lot of Navy guys, and you just have to hold your own. Because if you don't, ooh, you get crushed.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:33

You get crushed. All right. Well, now that the dislike ship is sailed, on the cutting room floor is no longer on the cutting room floor. We had a lot of changes. We had a lot of fun with that, but let's face it, it doesn't make any sense. Of course, I've said again that me having a podcast also doesn't make any sense. So on the cutting room floor is now bullshitting on the back lot.

SPEAKER_09 1:07:59

Did you get that approved by your co-host?

SPEAKER_02 1:08:02

What do you say? Thumbs up, thumbs down, their movie, their partner?

SPEAKER_09 1:08:06

No, bullshitting on the backlot side.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:08

Trivia, fun facts, all this stuff.

SPEAKER_09 1:08:10

I don't really have a lot.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:12

Are you okay with me calling it that?

SPEAKER_07 1:08:14

Oh, yeah.

unknown 1:08:17

Cool.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:18

I missed that whole thing. Sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:21

All right. Pay attention, that's one.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:23

Next segment is. Well, no, I was. I was just sometimes you I get lost in your Chicagoan.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:31

That's all right.

SPEAKER_07 1:08:32

He puts it on thick a little bit sometimes. I think he no, I mean, like, I just get lost in it.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:36

I think um it my uh Chicago accent is not nearly as thick as it was when I first moved here. I can't tell you how many people told me, like, you talk funny. And I'm like, I was thinking the same thing about you. Now, when I get pissed off, which doesn't happen often, or if I get heated about something, or if I get worked up about something, that's when it starts to thicken up. Like it, yeah, it it starts to come back in a big way, and it's a south side accent, too.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:07

So my my husband was making uh beef sandwiches the other night, and he's like teaching. I come in.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:13

Did you bring one?

SPEAKER_07 1:09:14

No, god, I I would I would have them in my purse all the time. They were so good. They were so good. But I walk into the house after I get home from work, and my husband's making them, and and Reggins is just like on his scooter inside the house, and he like stops in front of me as he's wheeling. He's like, We got the beef, we got the coach, we got the sandwiches, we got the teams. Oh my god, how cute! I'm like, look what your dad taught you today. That's good.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:45

Keep teaching him about that.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:46

Yeah, that is cute.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:48

Screw schoolwork, man. Teaching him about the 85 bears.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:51

Yeah, and my son ate his entire beef sandwich.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:54

At a boy.

SPEAKER_07 1:09:55

He's got the beef, he's got the coat, he's got the teams.

SPEAKER_09 1:09:59

Does he hard eat or does he not like to eat? Is he picky or um uh sometimes.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:05

I mean, like he's four. So yeah, he's four.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:08

I remember when Bella was four and she would not, she took forever to eat. She would we would be done, dishes would be done, she'd still be at the dining room table. Yeah, it's all four-year-olds then.

SPEAKER_07 1:10:18

It's all four-year-olds.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:20

All right. So, my first one that I got here, Miss Rhode Island's answer to the question of what is the perfect date was apparently actually used in a real life beauty pageant.

SPEAKER_06 1:10:33

Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, I did read that.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:36

All right, Megan, you got anything?

SPEAKER_06 1:10:38

Um sorry.

SPEAKER_09 1:10:41

Oh, yeah. So I think they what I thought was pretty cool was that real pageant consultants were brought in. Um so production hired the pageant coaches to train the cast on walking, posing, and answering questions. Um and then some of the contestants actually actually were played by real pageant participants.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:02

Nice. Megan Abel, you're up.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:04

You know, I already kind of said my facts, but I wanted to touch on your April 25th. Uh, I met my husband April 22nd, and so our third date was April, our second date was April 25th, and he sent me that meme in the morning.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:18

Oh, that is actually really sweet.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:21

I'm marrying this man. Oh, yeah. Well, I already decided that on the first date. He'll he'll be in debate with me about it, but I will never admit it.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:32

Oh, that that's you talking to Sid.

SPEAKER_07 1:11:34

Yeah, Tony's face. Deny, deny, deny.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:37

But what if he listens to this?

SPEAKER_07 1:11:38

I mean, you can't he never will. All right. Not a podcast guy, not uh his wife podcast. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:47

Doesn't know what he's missing. All right. My next one is when Hart returns home after the restaurant scene. All that was in the script was the opening restaurant scene where she almost shits the bed on uh undercover op. Gracie, the script just says Gracie starts boxing in that awesome canvas heavy bag that she's got. Everything with kicking the bed, the microwave, and tripping over the comforter was all improv.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:10

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:11

All right, Megan, you're up.

SPEAKER_09 1:12:13

Um, I was curious to see what the cast says about this movie nowadays. And um, Sandra Bullock was like the only one I could really find that had any sort of post-movie interviews about it. And she said that she um felt that this is one of the most fun films she has ever made. Um, and she's joked that the physical comedy aged her body a little bit, but she still has uh real affection for the character, and she has also acknowledged how often people still quote the movie to her, specifically April 25th.

SPEAKER_07 1:12:49

Did you say the physical comedy aged her body?

SPEAKER_09 1:12:53

Yeah, that's what her quote was.

SPEAKER_06 1:12:55

Girl, you did speed. Maybe it was like all the tripping and like Was it like the laughing? Did that age your body? Maybe all the snorting. How much Botox did you have to get at all? I know, I don't know. That's just her quote. I'm just repeating what she said.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:12

I was gonna say I had no idea that Miss Congeniality was so severe on Ms. Bullock. So that's all I got.

SPEAKER_09 1:13:21

That's it.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:22

Maybe a little less severe than her marriage to Jesse James. Yeah. Maybe maybe I don't know, possibly. Um, all right. Not the first film that Benjamin Bratt and Sandra Bullock filmed together. They played cops in the 1990 1993 film Demolition Man.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:39

So I don't think I've seen that one.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:41

Uh it's it's alright. Not missing much. You know, stolen. And Wesley Snipes, and yeah.

SPEAKER_07 1:13:49

I feel like I have, but I don't remember.

SPEAKER_02 1:13:51

It's yeah, it's alright. Not great, but not terrible. Uh Megan? Nothing. All right. Last one. Matt Dillon was originally cast as Eric Matthews. Dylan and Bullock years later would appear in the 2004 film Crash.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:06

Which is a great movie. Yeah. I love that movie. Me too. I love that movie.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:10

A lot of people think that it did not deserve the Oscar that it got.

SPEAKER_07 1:14:16

I oh, whatever. I thought it was so good. And I liked it. Yeah, portraying so many different perspectives of the like everybody intertwined. It was such a good movie. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:27

Normally I would have some questions, but I really couldn't come up with any questions clever enough. So should we just move ahead with the Manhattan scale?

SPEAKER_05 1:14:36

Sure.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:36

All right. Manhattan scale. A scale of one to five. This is this is to determine how much we enjoy this movie. So, how many Manhattans does it get from me? How many drinks of choice from the guests or my co-host? So, Megan, what's your drink of choice? And how many does this movie get?

SPEAKER_09 1:14:56

Well, I drank Fruit Punch, Minute Made Fruit Punch today. So I'm gonna give it a half of a point.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:01

Just a half?

SPEAKER_09 1:15:02

I didn't really like this movie. Okay. I liked parts of the movie, but as a whole, it's not something that I feel like I would like go out and watch.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:09

No, that's all right.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:10

No offense, Megan. I know you like it.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:12

Megan Abel, how many Miller High Lives does this movie get?

SPEAKER_07 1:15:15

Is that her drink of choice, though? Oh no, Marg's. I'm a Marg girl. Okay. Um, when I'm not drinking my Bud Light Limes, which is like the margarita of beer. Anyway, I would give like a 2.5, maybe a three.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:32

All right.

SPEAKER_07 1:15:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:33

Well, I'm not getting shit hammered off of Manhattan's tonight. This gets a 1.5 Manhattan's from me. Oh, this is an improvement, though. At first, because if if a movie is a real gigantic piece of shit, it gets a shot of fireball. And we've yet to encounter that, but it's coming. Okay.

SPEAKER_09 1:15:52

Eventually.

SPEAKER_02 1:15:53

Yeah, well, it's gonna happen eventually. More likely when we do a dude where's my car episode, that's like a bucket of fireball right there. But this movie almost was like, you know what? I finished my Manhattan. Not that this would ever happen, but I didn't finish the cherry at the bottom. Here, you can have it. But it got an improvement to 1.5, 1.5 Manhattans.

SPEAKER_07 1:16:18

So yeah, I mean I can see it on your scale. Yeah, I get it.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:21

All right. Well, before we wrap this up for uh for the evening, does anybody else have anything that they want to add?

SPEAKER_09 1:16:30

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:31

What about you, Megan?

SPEAKER_09 1:16:32

I'm just glad that I got to see Megan. Same. Same. It's always good to see Megan.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:37

Because that's not what you were saying earlier.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:39

What? Stop.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:40

Don't tell her what I say about her behind her back. She's very two-faced. It's really weird.

SPEAKER_09 1:16:45

We're just fucking you. We're serious.

SPEAKER_02 1:16:47

I would, I would kicking their asses. I'd say I would say it here, but I'd probably have to clean it up a little, and even then it's kind of tricky. So no, no, I'm just joking. All right. Well, you glorious Mickheads, we've come to my least favorite part of this podcast. The part where we say that's a wrap, folks, and shut down production for a while. As always, we, we, me and Megan Abel, we thank you so much for listening. But before we wrap this up, I just want to say something real quick. And no bullshit. I'm being 150% serious here. In the past, I would say that if you wanted to give us any notes on episodes, submit anything to us to do an episode on, or just contact the podcast, you could either email us or message us on Facebook. Well, fuck that. You ain't got to worry about that shit anymore. Recently, I was any I was able to enable the fan mail option where you can either text us or leave us a voicemail. You have the option to do this for this episode and all previous um all previous episodes. All you gotta do is click on the link in the episode description that sends that says send us fan mail. Says that for right now, trying to figure out something a little wittier to come up with all that. And that's it. So easy that even a schmuck like me can figure it out. I think I speak for everyone here where I say that we'd love to hear from you. I'm gonna let the Megans have the mic for a little bit, a little sip, we'll get myself a little sip of water.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:19

Fan mail. I'm shocked that you were able to enable that. You are not technologically savvy at all.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:25

No, I'm not. Um at all. I watched a YouTube video on it, it's really easy.

SPEAKER_09 1:18:29

Yeah, he doesn't even like to drive my car because there's too much technology in it.

SPEAKER_07 1:18:33

I mean, I'm not a tech person either, but that's also because I've just like had a career where I use my hands and I'm never just never on my phone. And you're damn good at your career too. Thank you. Thank you.

SPEAKER_02 1:18:46

I'm blue collar to the bone, so I know all about working with my hands and all that shit. Manual labor, probably gonna do that till the day I die. But this, this I can do. All right. Well, until next time, if you ever see an assortment of water glasses of different sizes, don't drink out of them. You may just screw the pooch on someone's talent portion for a Miss United States pageant. And lastly, yes, let's have harsher punishments for parole violators. And of course, world peace, Bobby. Good night, everybody.
