St. George's me the opportunity to fulfill that

0:04

dream. I always think about my opportunity to

0:06

be on that island, to learn from

0:08

so many different people, from so many different

0:10

walks of life, to approach medicine from

0:12

such a a different perspective, and ultimately shape

0:15

me to be somebody who is a culmination

0:17

of those experiences, and then

0:19

sent me off into the world

0:23

New York, york i

2:15

I had much rage in me hello everyone

2:17

and welcome to Everything with me Danny Pellegrino.

2:19

had so much rage in me when

2:22

i found out the news that vander

2:24

pump rules is going to be completely rebooted

2:26

for season i could not believe it That's

2:28

right Shishishe company are gonna be out

2:30

of a job next season because the

2:32

show is no longer they're gonna be

2:34

bringing us Vanderpump next season with a brand

2:36

new cast Although Lisa pump they did say is

2:38

sticking which kind of made me laugh. it

2:40

made me laugh is we were all

2:42

like oh the entire cast is being

2:44

rebooted like they are getting rid of

2:46

the entire cast and then every news

2:48

article you'd read that would be the

2:50

headline and then you'd go to the

2:52

article and be like actually lisa Vanderpump's back. And

2:55

like, yeah, she's the main cast member. She's gonna be

2:57

back but nobody really We don't pay

2:59

attention to Vanderpump Rules for Lisa Vanderpump. offense God bless. so

3:01

happy that she started the show in

3:03

the restaurants that led to this show so

3:05

we will be forever indebted to her

3:07

for the goat cheese ball impact that

3:09

she had on this franchise and our

3:11

nation as a whole But

3:13

so shocked actually because although last

3:15

season was a bit of a flop

3:17

I think creatively ratings wise it did

3:19

really really well i mean i

3:21

think it was the highest rated show on

3:24

the the network. was the season coming out

3:26

of Skandoval. season before that with Skandoval, highest

3:28

ratings I think Bravo probably seen in a really

3:30

time and it was a cultural phenomenon

3:32

being mentioned at the White and on

3:34

every news station you turn on CNN,

3:36

was a scroll about scandal so

3:38

i never thought that they would completely

3:40

reboot after having those high highs

3:42

i just thought they'd milk that cow for all

3:44

it's worth for a little bit

3:47

longer uh before they introduce a completely new

3:49

cast. they are introducing a completely new cast. Now was

3:51

worried at first i was worried

3:53

first and foremost for my dear Allie of

3:55

course you know i love you

3:57

know i love Allie. a girl's girl she's a a

3:59

girl's girl And James's Ally, I

4:01

was first and foremost concerned with her. Now

4:03

do think that she should go on

4:05

to the reboot. Of course they've

4:07

announced that there's not there's be no cast members

4:09

coming back. However, I would imagine that they're

4:12

going to be doing some guest spots and

4:14

trying to bring in some of the old

4:16

cast in in for spots from time to time.

4:18

And I actually think James and Allie would

4:20

fit perfectly on a reboot. My vote would

4:22

be to get Allie a job at Sir, put

4:24

her in a Sir dress. She could fit in

4:26

with the younger crowd. Allie's real young. She's

4:28

in her 20s I think, right?

4:30

She's in her mid to late 20s. So

4:32

she's the age looking for to watch messy on

4:35

TV. So we get her a Sir dress, We

4:37

already know her, It helps us keep

4:39

James around. I think it makes sense

4:41

for James to be DJing and Sir stuff. So I

4:43

would imagine James is going to be

4:45

appearing on the reboot anyway. So anyway,

4:47

let's get Ally a Sir dress. I think I'm

4:49

the only one that feels that way. I'm

4:51

only only fan out there, maybe, but

4:54

I I care. Sport girl. girl's girl.

4:56

Now, Now let's go through everybody else because I

4:58

just want to go through the cast I

5:00

feel very strongly about it. I'm again,

5:02

I I just want to tell everyone was worried at first

5:04

when I heard the news is this being rebooted. I

5:06

thought they're all to be out of a job. And then

5:09

when I'm going through in my head, I'm like, oh,

5:11

sheena and Brock will also be fine because they're going to

5:13

move right on over to the valley. They've already announced that

5:15

they're going to be appearing on the valley. I think

5:17

Sheena and Brock are probably going to be on there

5:19

a lot. It makes sense for them to be on there.

5:21

I think Sheena is a great reality TV star. So

5:23

I don't want to go off my TV. okay?

5:26

And people out there, I know some of

5:28

you are rolling eyes. You're like, like, Sheena me. I'm

5:30

tired of Sheena. Well, guess what? She might

5:32

frustrate you, but she makes good reality television. That

5:35

girl is meant to be in front of

5:37

a red light, saying stuff about her regular

5:39

life because I need her as a reality

5:41

TV star. So she's going to move

5:43

on over to the valley, not worried about her and

5:45

Brock. else? Ariana, did you guys see

5:47

Thanksgiving Day Parade, the highlight of my year

5:49

in terms of entertainment? I mean, there's

5:51

nothing better. I don't care. There's nothing

5:53

better than the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And

5:56

no more was that true than this year in the

5:58

year of our Lord 2024. Because

6:00

we not only had

6:02

Adina Menzel alongside mascots from

6:04

the Bronx Zoo. We

6:07

also had Ariana a a float. That's right.

6:09

She was on the Peacock float. The Peacock

6:12

float, she was leading the Peacock

6:14

float. There was no other NBCU talent.

6:16

So talent. Peacock, of course, is the streaming service. We

6:18

love the cock, for NBC Universal, which

6:21

owns and operates Bravo, as

6:23

well as some other entities like

6:25

NBC. So

6:27

fact that Peacock,

6:29

the Peacock float in the

6:31

Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, was

6:34

led by Ariana. She was lip -syncing a

6:36

song. it was a little unclear. I

6:38

mean, to be honest with you, it was a 90s

6:40

song, what did she sing? the chorus something? I

6:42

didn't understand why exactly was lip -syncing that specific

6:44

song, but yes, I loved it. And when

6:46

you really go into your brain and ask

6:48

yourself, well, why was she lip -syncing that song

6:50

by Chorus from the 90s? You

6:52

ultimately lead yourself to the answer, which is

6:54

why not lip -sync a song by the

6:56

Chorus from the 90s, right? If you're on

6:58

a float, that's what anybody should be doing. So

7:01

that your question there. But

7:04

the fact that she's on that float

7:06

she's leading it and so she's got

7:08

a job security for a while

7:10

She's thriving. She's come on. you never and

7:12

she looked stunning, but Peacock,

7:14

NBCU, they're gonna keeping her employed for a while and guess

7:16

what it means the people are her because they Must

7:18

be doing all the focus groups and testing her Q

7:20

score rating they to put her on that fucking

7:22

float if the people didn't her so all the

7:24

haters out there I just want you to know

7:27

that So So Ariana's

7:29

gonna be thriving good. She's

7:31

got the sandwich shop with Katie. That sandwich shop

7:33

still lines out the wazoo, right? That shop,

7:35

I wouldn't want to be surprised

7:37

if they decide to do

7:39

some sort of spin -off show or

7:41

I don't know something with the sandwich

7:44

shop. I know, I had my Hallmark Christmas maybe premiere, thank

7:46

you all, by the way, it was so nice

7:48

to hear from so many people that have been

7:50

watching, was called Deck Walls, and I think was,

7:52

I'm so proud of it, I'm so proud of

7:54

it, and a lot of you were streaming on

7:56

Peacock, we were in the top 10 of

7:58

all movies on Peacock over the weekend the holiday

8:00

Thanksgiving weekend. I I I mean, I was blown away

8:02

by the response. I I couldn't even believe it. And

8:05

I hope they'll let me make more. But

8:07

you know, with the sandwich shop, I think we should

8:09

do a Hallmark. And this is just me spitballing. never

8:11

run this past anybody. But I feel like

8:13

there could be a cute romantic movie

8:15

there about something about her. You know,

8:17

and Katie's an actress. She was in, he's

8:19

just not that into you or what was that movie? Was

8:22

that the one? I don't know. Was

8:24

that the one she was in? But I'm

8:26

thinking we to do do about her romance for

8:28

Hallmark Channel. I don't know. A nice, I I

8:31

got to call someone about that. We got to figure that

8:33

out. Katie, get on the line. Get on the

8:35

line because I think that would be really

8:37

adorable. But anyway, that sandwich what shops doing good. It's not

8:39

word book 80. Who else we got? Shula

8:41

Schwartz. Okay, I am a little worried about Shula

8:43

Schwartz. Here's the thing. Him

8:45

and Tom, they just also announced that

8:47

they're closing that, that that business. The

8:51

Schwartz and Sandy's which served the lobster dogs,

8:53

and they were next to the PetSmart. They're

8:55

closing down inexplicably, a bar that

8:57

was located next to a pet

8:59

store for some reason is not succeeding in

9:01

Los Angeles, the city of Lights. And

9:04

so so they are that they're closing

9:06

down. Now we don't, we don't want any of people. don't

9:08

want people to be out of work. Hopefully

9:10

they'll put something else in that strip mall bar.

9:14

maybe Starbucks

9:17

Pizza. I don't know. Maybe they'll put something else

9:19

in that place and we need to employ

9:21

some people. And by the way, just while we're talking

9:23

about employment, I do have a complaint.

9:25

I do have a a complaint And I know

9:27

everyone talks about AI and stuff, but I feel

9:29

like more and more places I go into now,

9:31

these cookies, I I hate to on

9:33

crumble cookies, but you go into a crumble cookies.

9:35

didn't know this because I'm just not super

9:38

familiar with the world of crumble cookies. But

9:40

I go into the crumble cookies and you can't even order

9:42

with the person at the counter. You You of to go to the

9:45

computer order And you're putting

9:47

in the order and I, feel like all of these places

9:49

now don't even get to talk to a human. You

9:51

just to put in your order thing. And it

9:53

really affects me up, You you know, my Libra ways I

9:55

go to the counter and I always ask

9:57

what they want. know, it's hard. You can't ask. ask.

10:00

up, that you're to a computer, you can't ask the

10:02

computer. Hey, what do you like here? What's good

10:04

here? What's fresh today? What's fresh today? And so

10:06

I don't, I like all these spaces, That's how I I

10:08

felt when I went in the crumble. like trying to

10:10

talk to the people and you know they don't want to

10:12

talk to me They're busy making the cookies like

10:14

the elves the treehouse for Kepler. They're busy And

10:17

so they're not able to sit there and

10:19

answer me But I'm like, well, do

10:21

I order? But feel like even at the airport now you

10:23

go to the airport you know what I

10:25

Anyway, that's not the point. Where do we get off

10:27

track here? Oh, Schwartz and Sandys is down. So

10:29

hopefully we get people in there And so we

10:31

don't want a business to close Unfortunately,

10:34

I think there was no turning

10:36

back after scandal. But Here's what

10:38

I'm worried about because I do

10:40

think Tom Sandoval Zunzil. I think he'll

10:42

continue to just do reality television

10:44

because look at all these shows

10:46

that need the villains He's going be

10:48

doing traders this upcoming season I

10:50

feel like next season they'll give

10:52

him money to put on that House

10:54

of villains show on E. Like just

10:56

go around kind of doing like

10:58

the Omarosa tour. how she did like surreal

11:01

life then she did a celebrity apprentice then

11:03

she did this reality show and that

11:05

reality show And they pop up

11:07

the villains always pop up in all

11:09

the reality shows So I think Sandys

11:11

of all will actually be popping up in those

11:14

now. Here's where I see Schwartz's future. think

11:16

that he'll pivot on over to the summer house. And

11:20

it seems like they're gonna be introducing him

11:22

into the new summer house season. I think filmed

11:24

for a week or two and we've seen

11:26

him when he was on the winter or whatever So

11:28

I could them moving him

11:30

on over to summer especially Doesn't

11:33

he have a new young girlfriend? I I

11:35

feel like he's got a new girlfriend, doesn't

11:37

he? So I picture what if the girlfriend

11:39

the girlfriend could be or maybe even the girlfriend's

11:41

getting a job at the At the sir

11:44

this dress Maybe she's gonna be be the goat

11:46

cheese on the reboot and that gets us Tom shorts

11:48

over I don't know But I I kind

11:50

of feel like Schwartz is gonna be moving

11:52

on over to summer house for the for the

11:54

rest of time And

11:56

so I think that's all of the cast did

11:58

we go through? so everyone's going to be. pretty much

12:00

okay you know not oh Lala. I don't

12:02

really know where Lala goes because I don't

12:04

know to me this is

12:06

so weird. I know she's good friends with Sheena

12:08

and the kids go to school together And doesn't

12:10

they all go don't they all go to school

12:12

together? I just don't see her on the valley

12:14

Like she doesn't feel like the valley to me

12:17

and she doesn't feel like real house size to

12:19

me So I'm like I don't and to me

12:21

Lala doesn't seem also like the type that's gonna

12:23

be going on the reality TV show tour Where

12:25

she's gonna be doing all the shows and guesting

12:27

on big brother and Serial Live, Or you know

12:29

doing all those shows so I'm like where does

12:31

Lala go with this? I don't know. I don't

12:33

know. I have to wait and see We'll have

12:35

go to BravoTV to come for more information

12:37

and watch what happens live. Oh, speaking of

12:39

babies, Kristen Doty. we want to congratulate

12:41

her. She is going to be having a

12:44

baby. Happy

12:47

for Dodie. Happy for Dodie. Good for

12:49

her. Good for her. But the Interpump

12:52

Rules, I'm a little scared, to be

12:54

honest with you, about the reboot because

12:56

I feel the Real Houses in New

12:58

York reboot. Uh, is

13:00

they did and I'm not sure that it

13:02

was that successful. And quite frankly, I just

13:04

mentioned the summer people and I've been hearing

13:06

this a lot lately. People are suggesting that

13:08

maybe the way to, uh, forth with Rony

13:10

is to put someone like Lindsay Hubbard, who's

13:12

just had a baby, right? Did she just

13:14

have the baby or not or pregnant or

13:16

whatever. She would make sense to pivot on

13:18

over to the real houses in New York.

13:20

Uh, I think Ira Madison, I don't know

13:22

if you guys follow his newsletter. He's got

13:24

a great sub -stack newsletter, uh, but he had

13:26

said in it, he's like, Lindsay Hubbard and

13:28

Paige. would be great to move on over

13:30

to the new Rony, they have a history.

13:32

Bravo Watchers would watch them. It's still fresh

13:34

and new. And also, we need to get

13:36

them out of the summer House, because they

13:38

doesn't really make sense for them to be

13:40

there anymore. And so I think that's a

13:42

very interesting path forward. Maybe put them on

13:44

there. That's familiarity. And I think Lindsay and

13:46

Paige have such a history together now at

13:48

this point that they would make it interesting

13:50

and then cast around them. I don't know.

13:52

I cast think that's an interesting thing. That's,

13:54

When when I read that about Ira set

13:56

on his sub -stack. was like, yep, that's it.

13:58

That's the path forward. Okay,

14:01

the other thing I want to talk about, know, is

14:03

holiday week, I wasn't going to be talking about

14:05

much, I was just going to come on here and present

14:07

a rerun and and then on my merry way, go

14:09

see some movies something. Oh, I just saw Wicked. Did

14:11

you guys see Wicked? Whoo! You

14:14

guys, You guys. you

14:16

guys You guys, Wicked,

14:18

it it was everything to me. And

14:20

had high expectations, although I was starting

14:22

to get tired of all the You know,

14:24

know, I'd that. felt like the advertising was not the ones

14:26

that was sick of seeing. Everything was like and

14:28

pink. anywhere go. And that target commercial, I

14:30

can't hear that one more time. we

14:32

doing the battle cry the Target aisle, and maybe now I

14:34

want to go go to Target more. It's like.

14:37

like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. oh, oh, like,

14:39

feel like every time that I do,

14:42

every time that I try to do that,

14:44

you know how Cynthia and Adina, they have that

14:46

the Wicked battle cry, it's It's like, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

14:48

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Every time that I do

14:50

it at home, Matt says I'm just

14:52

doing like the Tarzan yell, I'm like, my head, they sound

14:54

the same and I know I'm tone deaf,

14:56

So, but in my head, the

14:58

gravity, defying gravity when she

15:01

sings like, oh, oh, oh, oh, Like. Am

15:04

like, am I doing it, Am I

15:06

doing the Tarzan one? Which one am

15:08

I doing? Oh, oh,

15:10

oh, oh, that's Defying Gravity, right? I

15:12

don't, in my head, that, the Tarzan

15:14

yell, and Defying gravity's song aren't...

15:16

like they're the same sound

15:18

in my head and I keep

15:20

hearing their different, you

15:23

guys keep telling me that they're different, or people guys

15:25

keep telling me that they're different, but in

15:27

my different the same, which one in real life keep

15:29

telling me that they're different I have my

15:31

head they sound the same so there's two little quick

15:33

thing about I sing, the walls that I

15:35

have to say of, the joke is meant to be so

15:37

there's two little a terrible singer, I sing but I didn't

15:39

realize sort of the joke is meant to

15:41

be that I'm a terrible singer but

15:43

I didn't realize that when you I had to do

15:45

two singing in a script you have to

15:47

do it you do like the whole

15:50

song so I had to do to do whole

15:52

songs I had to sing two whole songs,

15:54

wasn't like I just did the quick little cutaway part,

15:56

was like the two whole songs, okay, that

15:58

I had to sing for all of these extras, And

16:00

I'm singing in this karaoke moment, like The

16:02

character's doing karaoke. And singing and they

16:04

also couldn't play the backing track,

16:06

like like the part of it. And

16:09

so I was singing both songs

16:11

acapella to 70 like 70 extras, okay? in

16:13

this in this roller rink bowling, or roller

16:15

that we were filming in. And so

16:17

I'm singing acapella and all these

16:19

extras, they don't know what the

16:21

the they're doing. Like all they

16:23

know is that they signed up

16:26

to be in an Hallmark Christmas movie. But

16:28

I'm assuming that they're there thinking that whoever's singing a Hallmark

16:30

Christmas movie is gonna sound good, but I am tone

16:32

deaf. that's supposed to be the joke,

16:34

but the extras didn't know that. And I

16:36

didn't know that I'd have to be

16:38

singing two full songs acapella times through I two

16:40

to do it like times or something

16:42

like that. It was truly my biggest

16:44

nightmare. It turned out really funny, which

16:46

is all that matters. But like having to

16:48

sing acapella, it was like hours I was just

16:50

singing acapella to all these people. Just

16:53

just terrible. So my heart out

16:55

to all those extras. But anyway, didn't

16:57

know movie magic, apparently. You can't have the backing.

16:59

They had to add the backing

17:01

track later. so just me. Maybe

17:03

they were pranking me. Maybe they were me. it was

17:05

like, oh, they they me they couldn't have the

17:07

backing track cuz they just wanted to see how

17:10

bad I could sing. But the truth is, I

17:12

was trying my best. Anyway,

17:14

speaking of singing and trying

17:16

your best, did we talk about

17:18

the Vanderpump Rules? Yeah, we got through

17:20

that. We got through that. And

17:22

then the other thing that I

17:24

want to talk about that was

17:27

just so incredibly moved, blown

17:29

away, overwhelmed by was the real of

17:31

Salt Lake City week. There was

17:33

a scene with Mary and

17:35

Robert Jr. Now, we've all been

17:37

speculating on this podcast, even from the beginning

17:39

of this season, we've all been speculating like, what's

17:41

going on with Robert Jr.? Because we're getting

17:43

these little glimpses. He's always seeming to

17:45

be in his bedroom in that bed, sometimes

17:47

with the wife. And there's a weird

17:49

energy around it all. And Mary has alluded

17:51

to different things. And so this week on

17:53

the show, she sits down with Robert Jr. And

17:56

they have a discussion about his substance

17:58

abuse issues, And he talks. about where it sort of

18:00

started with Xanax he was taking Xanax

18:02

with other drugs and he names a

18:04

bunch of other drugs and you could

18:07

see the hurt in his eyes and Mary's

18:09

eyes And mechanics of it

18:11

I know some people were critical of

18:13

saying something that maybe shouldn't have

18:15

been on TV and I felt totally

18:17

differently I felt like this is these

18:19

are the types of moments in

18:22

these shows that I think make everything

18:24

else worth it. when everybody knocks on

18:26

the the the drama of these

18:28

shows and the exploitation of friendships stuff like

18:30

that I point to scenes like this

18:32

that so raw so real and actually feel

18:34

like documentary footage and I actually

18:37

think the mechanics of it were that

18:40

I don't know this to be true and so I hate

18:42

to put this out there but my take

18:44

on it was that Mary probably had

18:46

tried so many different things and you

18:48

see the little moments earlier in the

18:50

season where she's leaving the house to

18:52

go film something or or she does

18:54

a scene with him and it feels

18:57

very uncomfortable and I of

18:59

read it like maybe did recognize

19:01

course by course by this point that there

19:03

had been a problem probably for much sooner

19:05

than this and she, any

19:07

parent in a situation like this doesn't know

19:09

what to do How do you do this And I

19:12

thought maybe he maybe even Robert Jr. that it

19:14

was a problem and said you know what maybe

19:16

I need to put myself accountable,

19:18

myself accountable And

19:20

I think Mary probably thought on some

19:22

level too, put this out there into the

19:24

world and on TV it's going to

19:26

force them to at least recognize the

19:28

issue and maybe take some accountability. so I

19:31

know I thought and was so moving and

19:33

I think so many parents and or

19:35

kids and so many people who been going through

19:37

substance abuse stuff especially now with the opioid

19:40

crisis it's like I think this is a

19:42

very common situation that's happening all across

19:44

the world and so I thought it was

19:46

so incredibly brave and wonderful that they

19:48

brought it to television in I thought was a

19:50

very respectful moving way and

19:52

did not feel exploitive. felt real

19:55

it felt, anything I

19:57

was kind of I I love to

19:59

see like version of it. There were

20:01

moments where it felt like they just

20:03

had to cut around things. I would imagine

20:05

they filmed for a long time, but you could

20:07

tell there were different cuts along the way

20:09

and I thought, oh gosh, there's so much. It

20:11

felt so raw and sad and and

20:13

you could just see the hurt in her eyes

20:15

and the love in both of them. And And I

20:18

hope seems like, I think I had

20:20

read, maybe Mary did an interview

20:22

with Bryce Sander from Entertainment Tonight or

20:25

I think that's where I saw it. But

20:27

seems like he's doing better now And real

20:29

time. And that's wonderful And so I don't know, I'm

20:31

just happy And I hope people something out

20:33

of that and maybe I other people

20:35

to have a dialogue with somebody that

20:37

they know that might be going through

20:40

it because do gotta talk about it

20:42

with the person if they're going through it And

20:44

I know that could be difficult, but but you know,

20:46

shows, maybe that person who's

20:48

going through that a Housewives fan they saw it

20:50

and it it somebody else open up

20:52

the dialogue with that person. I I thought

20:54

it was so, I thought it was incredible TV, Incredible

20:56

TV in a sea of incredible moments

20:58

on the Real of Salt Lake City this

21:00

season which is blowing my mind and

21:02

expectations out of the water. I think

21:05

this season has had so many layers

21:07

and we've got these great new people

21:09

on the show And I I creatively the

21:11

Real House of Salt Lake City is

21:13

one of the greatest shows on television. Truly,

21:15

I'm not, I know, sometimes we do jokingly,

21:17

right? like we laugh about it, but

21:19

honestly this season I feel like it's

21:21

incredible TV and it was incredible TV

21:23

last season and season before and even in

21:25

the mess your moments, think the Real House of

21:27

Salt Lake City is delivering

21:30

these like all time television

21:32

moments and I kind of

21:34

feel like feel like world needs to start

21:36

recognizing that it's actually like a pretty incredibly

21:38

put together television show from a narrative

21:40

standpoint and of course a lot of

21:42

these things are are things that are happening

21:44

in the real lives the camera's catching it, but I

21:46

think when you look at like the

21:48

editing of a scene with Robert and Mary,

21:51

Robert Jr. and Mary and the

21:53

way that they handled it and way they

21:55

handle some of the other editing choices

21:57

and stuff, I give them a hard time the

21:59

production. editors stuff, but I don't

22:01

know, I've been blown away by a lot of these creative

22:04

choices on The Real House of Lake City

22:06

over the years and it's just it's incredible TV.

22:08

And I, a A of people haven't

22:10

even gotten on board with Salt Lake City or

22:12

or they just hear the headlines, but it's

22:14

like a good show. It's

22:17

a good ass show. We

22:19

love him. love him. And uh, The Real

22:21

House of Beverly Hills has been good too. I know we're

22:23

dealing with the fallout of Kyle and

22:26

Dorit, which I'm sort of on Dorit's side.

22:28

I I like they're both, I I Kyle was

22:30

nitpicking, I would have been so pissed I

22:32

was a friend of Kyle and Kyle was

22:34

going on on Amazon Live or whatever

22:36

the fuck she was. and saying, oh, trying

22:38

to to downplay our friendship. Anyone

22:40

that downplays a relationship with you,

22:42

it it would make you feel bad, right? Like

22:45

if somebody, if I had I thought was a friend.

22:47

And then not only are they

22:49

downplaying it, but publicly, a huge platform

22:52

downplaying, I'd like, what the fuck Splits Richards?

22:54

Like Why are you throwing me under the bus with

22:56

that ugly hat? Like what's going on? Does

22:59

it feel like she's always wearing a hat in

23:01

the Amazon Lives? Not that I should judge, but it

23:03

does feel like Splits Richards always wearing one of them

23:05

hats. And I do feel like on the

23:07

show she was wearing the same... I know

23:09

goes to the Kimo Sabi for the hats, so she's got

23:11

a whole closet full of them, but I

23:13

swear she was wearing the same hat in

23:15

one of them in one scene this season

23:17

that she was wearing in that scene with

23:19

the goodbye Kyle she had the friendship breakup with Lisa Vanderpump

23:21

she looked like Darkwing Duck, you you know, with purple

23:23

hat. I feel like it was the

23:25

same hat, wasn't it? I don't know. I

23:27

do think they're setting up a Lisa Vanderpump

23:30

return though, I did hear interview with Kyle Richards

23:32

she ran into Lisa and it was amicable, And

23:34

now you got this feud between Doreeet and

23:36

I just feel like next season it be so nice

23:38

to see maybe Doreeet plop down with

23:40

lunch, with LVP. I'm not saying

23:42

we need LVP back full -time on this show, but

23:44

she works, I think she'd better here maybe

23:46

than on the VPR reboot, you know, so

23:48

maybe, and just as a friend of, like, I

23:50

I don't need her full time, but maybe just

23:52

get her in there, because of the scenes with her and

23:54

Doreeet... think that would be great, her and Dorit, Got

23:56

history there. But Doreeet and Kyle,

23:59

I'm a little concerned. I

24:01

don't know what's gonna happen with the two

24:03

of them. Although Dorit seems to be activated

24:05

this season and it seems Kyle's activated too. Splits

24:07

activated although. She doesn't want us talking

24:09

about the Morgan, Morgan, cowgirl. cowgirl Because apparently,

24:11

now it was too much for Morgan she

24:13

to get off the show and was like like,

24:15

it wasn't too much for when you guys were

24:17

doing the music video on our face You

24:20

know, you're Shoving that

24:22

music video in our fucking face last season, but

24:24

now of a sudden we can't talk about her It's

24:26

like well, what the fuck? We had a,

24:29

we went of four from her last season

24:31

Didn't perform in a few things It's like

24:33

got a look at her getting a

24:35

tattoo and everything is like so we

24:37

had to go through all that and

24:39

get to know her and Now

24:41

I love Morgan And I to know her

24:43

I'm listening to the music during during the off

24:45

season I was playing around Spotify. got

24:47

to know her and now you just snatch away from

24:50

me that makes me upset and that makes me upset And

24:52

so when I see it splits in the professional scene, oh,

24:54

we're not talking about that, or not talking

24:56

about her. I'm like to hell you

24:58

aren't like I was introduced to her I

25:00

to know her. She's on my Spotify top

26:09

any official notes because it was a holiday week it

26:11

Thanksgiving I visit my family, I know, my I got

26:13

to watch Deck walls with family. It was so special

26:15

to me because there

26:18

so many little personal touches in

26:20

there The character Rose de named after my

26:22

late grandmother Rose, if you've read

26:24

my books or even heard me talk about my grandma

26:26

on the podcast She was special to me and

26:28

she used to love Hallmark back in the day

26:31

Even before they started doing the official

26:33

countdown to Christmas and and all of

26:36

that my used to love the Hallmark Channel,

26:38

I remember going to her house and have

26:41

it on and my mom mom and

26:43

I watched the Hallmark Christmas movies, it was very

26:45

special and and her a name appears the chocolate

26:47

name and so getting to watch With

26:50

my family back home in and see

26:52

their faces when they saw those personal touches

26:54

was really special and so I just thank everyone

26:56

for supporting it and it was a dream

26:58

come true and I I hope that somebody

27:00

me make more movies I have other scripts

27:02

and things that I would love to make

27:04

and so It really means the world

27:06

to everyone who who shared it with a friend

27:08

or posted social media or whatever thank you, Thank you.

27:10

Thank you and again to watch it, it'll

27:13

little or be throughout the holiday season on the

27:15

Hallmark Channel And then I think maybe you

27:17

could buy or download it somewhere But it

27:19

was just streaming for a few days on

27:21

Peacock so the time this episode airs,

27:23

it might not even be on Peacock anymore but be

27:26

be somewhere, I I know, Google it. I'm not sure.

27:28

I'm not TV Guide, I don't know. know, I like

27:30

I'm not TV Guide, I don't know Which the

27:32

way, they need to bring back that scroller, we

27:34

wouldn't have this problem. Remember that scroller TV Guide? millennials

27:36

know, you have to put on the TV Guide channel

27:38

and you have to wait until it Sometimes you

27:40

have to wait until it went all the

27:42

way around the horn So, you know, you'd be

27:44

looking to see what was going to be

27:46

playing on channel four But as soon as you

27:48

turn on TV Guide, it says channel six and you gotta

27:50

until it goes all the way around the horn

27:53

until you back to to four again because otherwise

27:55

miss it and it was like that

27:57

school closures too, I mean, I hate to

27:59

take a- and a nostalgia spiral, but I'm going

28:01

to right now. Back

28:03

my day, like like an old

28:05

lady, I can't believe, I feel like every episode

28:07

of this podcast is just like in

28:09

my day. anyway, in my day, when there were

28:11

to be a snow day, you'd have to wait

28:13

for that to go around the horn too. You'd

28:15

have to put on the news network. And

28:17

then at the bottom of the screen, it

28:20

would say like, orange schools closed. There

28:22

was a city called the Orange

28:24

back home, or Beechwood closed or Kent school

28:26

closed, and you'd have to wait for

28:28

it to get to Solon. And sometimes Solon,

28:30

that we had good snow piles in Solon, those fuckers,

28:32

So a lot of times we

28:34

didn't get school or school closures when

28:36

the others did, which is not okay. But

28:38

But anyway, that's how you found out

28:41

about school closures. and nowadays, the kids

28:43

find out their school closed by a text

28:45

or something like what was it about? we

28:47

had to wake up in anticipation. You

28:49

turn on that TV and you'd just you'd hope you'd

28:51

pray, you'd say it silent prayer to yourself and say,

28:54

dear Mariah Carey, please. Dear,

28:58

Dear our and savior Mariah Carey, please let us have

29:00

off school today. All I want for Christmas

29:02

is that. And then sometimes she

29:04

would bless us with school closing. But

29:06

anyway, they do things differently now. Now

29:09

computers, just the old and

29:11

grandpa. How many times

29:13

have I complained about technology this episode? It's, I

29:15

don't know, too many. I love you all so

29:17

36:56

kind of early to put up Christmas decoration.

36:58

usually wait until a day before

37:00

Thanksgiving or around then. But But it's

37:02

election year. Things are are hectic. We need to

37:04

relax. We need to cheer. keep We it up. people are up. Yes.

37:06

Everything's up. Everything's I support that. Just visually, it's

37:09

so nice when you walk in and you

37:11

see all the lights. all the lights. such an upper. Thank

37:13

you. Yeah. walk know in what I realized this

37:15

year is that And ornament, year is that the I always

37:17

love the ornament ornament up, putting the ornaments on

37:19

the tree. on That was always my favorite part

37:21

of the the holidays. And

37:23

I don't love that part anymore. I

37:25

love the ornaments, and I love once it's

37:27

done. But I sort of hate putting on

37:29

the ornaments. Do you play our or anything? Yeah.

37:31

Yeah, I put music on. I put a little

37:33

crazy. Okay. Yesterday I had the Hallmark Christmas

37:35

Channel on. So on Yesterday I had the Hallmark playing on.

37:38

So I was putting as ornaments on. But

37:40

it just feels like more and more. like more

37:42

and more. I think because when I was

37:44

in my early 20s I had I had a

37:46

small tree and it was so small and

37:48

easy. so it was my cute little ornaments

37:50

that I got from friends or whatever. And

37:52

now it just feels like a job. It's

37:54

like a a nine foot tree. doing it yesterday. was so

37:56

it yesterday. I was like, gosh, I need

37:58

to I need to like have more cheer in

38:00

this. Yeah. our elves. Yeah, Or elves. Yeah. to

38:03

change my mood or have more people around. And

38:05

maybe you have kids, it's of course probably

38:07

better. But it stands without any, just me up the ornaments,

38:09

I like, I've had enough. enough of that. Yeah,

38:11

I was feral cat. so I always the

38:13

bottom two to three feet

38:15

of my tree are just Dante's

38:17

ornaments. Like literally go to to Marshalls

38:19

and buy those that are nonbreakable, that

38:21

he can just mess with. Right.

38:23

Yeah, owners now. You know,

38:25

some of the, I was

38:27

at Rite Aid. And the Rite Aid ornaments are like

38:29

$1 dollar, sometimes. Some of them are nice. I

38:32

got some nice reindeer ornaments. Jenna,

38:35

we're recording a serendipity recap

38:37

today, which I'm excited about because

38:40

we've gotten this request for a while for

38:42

serendipity and it's a movie that I've seen

38:44

a bunch of seen a bunch of

38:46

times, but I've never looked at it it with a

38:48

a critical lens. to be honest with you, I I

38:50

feel like most of the time like I it on and

38:52

then I sort of zone out or do other

38:54

things. So I know that first half of the

38:56

movie really well. And I feel this way about,

38:59

uh, what's that, um, my aunt

39:01

to live in Barris at La La Land. Oh,

39:03

yeah. My aunt used to live in Barris. I like I've seen,

39:05

I I know that I just quoted the

39:07

end of La La Land, but I've seen

39:09

the first 20 minutes of La La Land

39:11

like a thousand times. It's like I that. first

39:14

part, up until that first party song

39:16

when Emma Stone goes to the party and another,

39:19

you you know, she goes to that is that...

39:22

Yeah. I'm gonna I'll call them Ken and there. Ken's

39:24

there. Yeah. but I've seen that first part

39:26

and then I just sort of zone out or or

39:28

I it off or it's like that's enough for me

39:30

I've seen it. I feel that we would serendipity I love that

39:32

opening scene on the ice skating ring, which I I was actually

39:34

inspired by. the Hallmark movie has a scene that was

39:36

inspired by that um ice skating

39:38

ring scene. And that's the one

39:40

in Central Park, right? Or Or that a

39:42

build for the movie? Cause it's not the Rockefeller No,

39:44

wasn't Rockefeller Center. I was wondering that must be either. think it

39:46

might have been a have been build. Yeah, it might

39:49

have been a build. Yeah. Yeah. I

39:51

would imagine it's hard - I'm not to say

39:53

to say it's a build. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. It's a

39:55

a Absolutely It's a a build. Yeah,

39:57

Yeah. we'll We'll look up other things. I'm

40:00

42:16

busy and she's gorgeous busy. beautiful and

42:18

she and she still to this day

42:20

But she does look very different now.

42:22

We were looking her up now. There's a

42:24

different look going on. Yes, we shall

42:26

say. But yeah, Kate Beckinsale she

42:28

was sort of big thing And she

42:30

is Wait, you pointed this out.

42:33

So you said she dated Matt Rife or

42:35

was dating or something. It is currently, I think. think Yeah.

42:37

I'm David and she didn't date and

42:39

I knew about that one Yeah.

42:41

so she must have must thing for

42:43

Thing for 20 something comics. Oh, and I'm talking about that. I

42:45

think we were texting. think I

42:47

were texting I was like no one should

42:49

be allowed to date a male comic. More to ram.

42:51

was your word. Yeah, we need to

42:53

stop that need out there if you're listening

42:55

you're listening to this and you're thinking getting with a

42:57

male comic just the other way. Yeah, run

42:59

the other way on the other way

43:01

It's not It's not a good idea,

43:03

but it's shocking because yeah, she she's 52

43:05

52 years old And she's dating these

43:07

young guy comic male 20 something male comics

43:09

and it's girl. What are you doing? doing?

43:11

Yeah, that's the worst person to date. Yeah,

43:13

And you're gorgeous Kate Beckinsale. Yes. Yes. You have a pick of

43:16

the letter. yourself girl. Yeah, she has kid

43:18

with Michael Sheen. Does she? Yeah. Oh

43:20

my God. Yeah. a grown

43:22

child Well, So love

43:24

this movie too because it's lights up Bloomingdale's

43:26

Christmas shopping. Oh my gosh, okay wait I

43:28

wait, I want to see. Yeah. This is hard

43:30

is hard sometimes we are watching movies

43:33

at the same time because I

43:35

always want text you something I thought and

43:37

then sometimes I do and sometimes I'm like

43:39

no, it But the Bloomingdale's thing

43:41

because we had just recorded the on

43:43

34th Street recap Recap and had to

43:46

make up a department store. Macy's didn't

43:48

want to lend name

43:50

to the movie so in this movie

43:52

when I was seeing Bloomingdale's, I was thinking

43:54

oh, I wonder if this was part

43:56

of the impact of the Miracont 34th Street remake,

43:58

was 1994 If

44:00

the department store of Bloomingdale's realized oh, we should

44:02

lend our name to a a movie like that.

44:05

they they did in Splash also.

44:07

She shopped at Bloomingdale's for her

44:09

full makeover. what happened with MiracleCon34's too?

44:11

Street? Why couldn't they get

44:13

Bloomingdale's? That's a good question. Okay,

44:15

I'm not going look it up up. We're not. I will

44:17

look it up for next year when we do Serendipity again.

44:19

I'm just kidding. But you're

44:22

right though, it's interesting because it's nice

44:24

having that recognition. Like, oh yeah, Bloomingdale's at

44:26

Christmas. This is festive, you know.

44:28

So had that name recognition right off the jump.

44:30

Mm -hmm Exactly. And what I thought was different

44:32

about this movie and you know since we

44:35

both write, the meet was on page one. Like

44:37

instantly our leads are meeting and I

44:39

was like, okay, and they're

44:41

not really together in the movie

44:43

at all yeah like Like have that

44:45

meet cute. They have the one meet cute and

44:47

then they're sort of distant from each other. It's

44:50

very, Sleep is in is in Seattle. You've

44:52

got mail. Yeah, Sleep is in you've got

44:54

mail, which... Okay, here's the thing. the the

44:58

kind of complaint I have, the criticism. So

45:00

with Serendipity, it is very similar to

45:02

like you've got mail is my all time

45:04

movie or, or so that was, with

45:06

you've got mail specifically, I think. They

45:09

go the course of the movie communicating still,

45:11

just knowing that they're communicating. With symbols.

45:13

you get to see their

45:15

chemistry and stuff. And I

45:17

feel like in Serendipity, was my problem

45:19

with the movie is it's, first

45:21

of all, the real estate is so short. So

45:23

it's an hour and a half movie. Like It's 130, a

45:26

a pretty strict one 30, which is

45:28

a short time for a movie, especially

45:30

nowadays Everything's like two hours plus, But you've got

45:32

mail is two hours plus. And so

45:34

you have more real estate in there

45:37

to get to know them separately as

45:39

well as you have them communicating via

45:41

email. And then also the two characters, they

45:43

do communicate towards the second half of the

45:46

movie. and you've got mail. Just not knowing that

45:48

they're also communicating online. Yes. And so I feel

45:50

like you get to see chemistry and with Kate

45:52

back in Seattle and John. Cusack.

45:54

Cusack. I feel like you missed that.

45:57

Yeah, because they're each looking. You're

45:59

right because. most of the movie

46:01

is her looking for the $5 bill bill

46:03

with his number or he's looking for

46:05

her name in love the time of cholera. And

46:07

it's, which I was like, again, I'd never

46:09

read that book. So there

46:11

some symbolism there? Probably. don't know. We should

46:13

read that. that. Yeah. But no, it is, it's like

46:15

what I wish they could show a little

46:17

because it's like, wait, why do they love

46:20

each other? It's been 10 years or why

46:22

are they so obsessed with this? Yeah. And And

46:24

I think, I like I needed watching it from

46:26

a critical lens. I like I needed a little

46:28

more of them together or see like, why are

46:30

they fighting so hard for this? Especially

46:32

also knowing they have other significant others. Yeah.

46:35

Yeah. Yeah. they're shopping for their significant

46:37

others. And that's when they meet and

46:39

they each want a black cashmere glove.

46:42

And then they instantly go on a

46:44

date to serendipity, which I've been

46:46

there. you been to serendipity? I've been

46:48

to been to the Vegas location. Oh yeah. Maybe I've

46:50

been to the New York one, but

46:52

I don't think I've eaten there. It's so cute.

46:54

one, Alice Wonderland. But the ice cream sundaes are

46:56

on Bill and Ted's, when Napoleon has that big

46:58

ice cream Oh Oh, in yeah, yeah. It's like

47:00

that, like 30 scoops of ice cream

47:02

at serendipity, hot chocolate. Just Just diabetes and roll. Exactly.

47:04

Okay. And so, but big thing is that

47:06

she doesn't tell him her name. And

47:08

I was like, like, a a little... It

47:10

was annoying me. Yeah, me too. I was

47:12

like, just tell him your name. I

47:14

don't know. know. name. Yeah, you're engaged, Yeah, you're

47:16

engaged, John Corbett. Lars. Oh my God, John Corbett. We'll unpack

47:18

later. But... I take notes

47:20

on my phone and I just

47:22

had a text to myself that just

47:24

said, John Corbett Insane. Exactly, exactly.

47:26

It's like Kenny G vibes. But

47:29

they go on this date, and you're like, they're

47:31

chit chatting, being kind of coy, And

47:34

then that's it. Oh, so,

47:36

but she leaves... So

47:38

part ways on the sidewalk, right? They

47:40

lose each other. But then she leaves the

47:42

gift bag at the table. And then

47:44

he thinks to go back and what? Like

47:47

find her scarf? He's looking

47:49

for his scarf. He He bag like accidentally left there.

47:51

so she went back and they bump each other

47:53

again. Yeah, serendipity. I'm like, for they should be

47:55

together. They both are forgetful. They both left

47:57

shit at the table. Wait, on. Hold other It crazy.

48:00

Serendipity was a thing though before this move, the shop

48:02

the ice cream parlor whatever Oh. that it?

48:04

That was a thing before the movie,

48:06

right? Probably, Yeah, Wasn't it in Sex and the, I I

48:09

feel like it was in Sex and the was yeah,

48:11

there's a lot of sex lot the

48:13

city correlations to Bridget

48:15

Monahan, the- John Corbett. Yeah. Yeah.

48:17

Yeah. Yeah. yeah, I

48:20

I I understand, the whole thing is

48:22

about these chances and Circumstance

48:24

48:26

and so it's like you kind of suspend disbelief

48:28

a little bit every bit every have to like

48:30

go back to the restaurant or the scarf the

48:32

bad comes up again later in the movie

48:34

And it's like I get I that I I

48:37

just needed something a little thicker. Yeah, because they're like

48:39

looking for a sign Because I remember she

serendipity as a fortunate accident, you know, And she's like,

48:43

50:12

a nickname for him for the podcast? Oh, Hot

50:14

Cowboy. Okay. Okay, Okay. okay. Okay, so the hot

50:16

cowboy. So, So he had this whole

50:18

surprise to like make this whole scallop

50:20

dinner and just surprised me. And

50:22

so, we're in the back of this like commercial

50:24

kitchen at this place in Wisconsin and

50:27

making scallops. And I just, you know, we're like

50:29

drinking champagne, whatever. I I in my finger open

50:31

and there's blood everywhere. And I was like, this

50:33

is so embarrassing. It's actually a pretty bad

50:35

injury. And so, we have to find a a

50:37

med kit and like it up and then like

50:39

still make this like beautiful dinner and everything.

50:41

And so, when she fell, she I think she cuts

50:43

her elbow, you know, But I just

50:46

didn't know if you've ever had a. No, no,

50:48

I'm trying to think. I don't think. That's good.

50:50

So, he took care of you. he was a kid.

50:52

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And And I up.

50:54

You know, the listeners are fascinated by

50:56

your love life. I like we We always doing updates and

50:58

it was like... Ever evolving. But But

51:00

yeah, I don't think I have any

51:02

injuries. Oh, yeah. Oh,

51:05

no, that's a good thing. a good thing.

51:07

And oh, also the $5 bill thing, this

51:09

is interesting too, because

51:11

doesn't he run across, Oh,

51:13

he writes his number on it and then

51:16

goes and buys certs. at the lowest. She buys

51:18

certs. buys certs. She buys whole thing is thing is if

51:20

it gets gets back us, then, which

51:22

it does ultimately come back. Yeah. Wait,

51:24

you think that... where do you stand in the cheating

51:26

of it all? Because I do have something

51:28

I want to talk about because were in other

51:30

relationships. And this is something that often comes up

51:33

as a critique of you've got Mail. Like

51:35

they were communicating, but they were

51:37

in relationships. And to that I

51:39

always say, well, they were were bad

51:41

relationships and obviously meant to be. And

51:43

And of course, you're drawn another person.

51:45

And is And other thing I think

51:48

moralistically, audiences have, and I'm probably

51:50

guilty of this myself, but especially the

51:52

younger Gen audiences, there's sort of like

51:54

a moralistic high ground with movies

51:56

now where it's like, oh, that... Cheated

52:00

on each other or they did this

52:02

and it's like yeah, well people do

52:04

that like that's the you know so you've

52:06

got Mail I always get mad at

52:08

I saw this TikTok where a woman had

52:10

Broken down why it was so

52:12

bad. I don't know of know don't of this

52:14

movie and she shouldn't fell in love

52:16

with him and everything and it's like but

52:18

people make mistakes they in love with

52:20

the wrong people sometimes people change their

52:22

ways sometimes and you know, there's just it's

52:25

almost, that's a frustrating thing

52:27

to me is this moralistic ground of like

52:29

every movie character supposed to be perfect and

52:31

be even perfect way. version That's very interesting.

52:33

single yeah and I honestly it more

52:35

once you see the living

52:38

conditions like John and Bridget Moynihan were

52:40

living in the squalor do you

52:42

see their place it It was like so messy oh even

52:44

remember. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah And then John Corbett

52:46

like on a futon so I was like, like there

52:48

might be some sort of leveling up what

52:50

was that about though There was one

52:52

point in that house where said

52:54

something like I put all your stuff out, not that you

52:56

would know. And I was like, what's

52:58

happening with this apartment? yeah it was weird It

53:01

it was it's just me is right? odd What was

53:03

that? was there missing? maybe because in comparing

53:05

it to you've got mail which this

53:07

is also like let's do a parallel

53:09

episode, they adorable places. I I know I

53:11

know like Nora okay no a

53:13

friend wait going to the

53:16

cheating thing real quick, though, there was something

53:18

else I wanted to mention, which was that

53:20

there's a new Martha documentary on Netflix. oh okay.

53:22

I I it. You watch Sort of about her

53:24

life, and she talks about being married, and

53:26

she was in this relationship. I

53:28

don't I don't before was before her

53:30

relationship. I know there's a story that

53:32

she tells about basically like a one-night

53:35

situation where she was on a vacation

53:37

with her, I I think, then husband and

53:40

they were out traveling in Italy somewhere and the husband

53:42

wanted to stay in the hotel room so she

53:44

went out and she had this like night with

53:47

this guy guy and the

53:50

people can watch this cuz I'm sort of

53:52

paraphrasing and I'm maybe getting details wrong. but

53:54

the documentarian asked Martha in the confessional

53:56

interview, like was that cheating or how

53:58

do you feel about that And Martha's like, everybody

54:00

have a night like that. And I sort of,

54:02

I kind of stand on that side of like,

54:05

she, you you have a night out with

54:07

someone, whether there's sex or

54:09

not involved. And not cross line But I think

54:11

like is kind of something to be said.

54:13

If you're on, if you're in Italy or

54:16

you're on some gorgeous vacation and you

54:18

meet someone and you have a a nice

54:20

little date and. That's Mary-Esteene Mergent

54:22

in club. There go. first

54:24

or the second, I forget. Yeah, Yeah,

54:26

the one she's pounding the bread. The bread. Yeah, yeah,

54:28

yeah, put it pound in the bread, the The

54:30

ciabatta. kind of, But I the way Martha

54:33

said it though, it just was it it

54:35

encapsulated in a way that I never

54:37

heard it before of her just feeling like

54:39

no remorse or not feeling at all. Like

54:41

was cheating or bad or anything. She's like,

54:43

yeah, I think everybody should have a

54:45

life experience like that one night where wasn't,

54:47

it wasn't meant to be long term. It

54:49

wasn't meant to be cheating or leaving the

54:51

husband for or like that. It was just like,

54:53

oh, we had a, I had a really

54:55

romantic night somebody else. And And it was

54:58

one of those life experiences that everybody should It's

55:00

like a halt, like concept of a hall path. Yeah, like

55:02

I'm not going to feel bad Do you have

55:04

a hall path? No, but I, am

55:06

sure we've talked about this before. Like I don't know

55:09

if, I don't know, certain people I

55:11

wouldn't care if he were to

55:13

like up with someone like

55:15

Ryan Philippi or something. Oh, yeah,

55:17

totally. know, You know, like, be like, whatever.

55:19

But this is interesting. So

55:21

So Death of Walls, the Hallmark I

55:23

was asking that we were sitting around one

55:26

day in between takes or whatever. And

55:28

I was asking everybody else their hall passes, you

55:30

know, and Ashley Green was she's

55:32

in the movie and she's, was in the

55:34

Twilight and stuff. And she's dated like

55:36

the hottest guys ever. Like she and, I

55:38

think she dated Ryan Phillippe. I

55:40

don't know. She's dated She's dated like Chase Like

55:42

really pretty gorgeous men. And

55:45

so I'm bringing up hall passes. And I'm like,

55:47

you know, I want to care. like I, or I

55:49

was saying like, I would hook up with someone.

55:51

If, if it was Ryan Phillippe and wanted hook up,

55:53

I'd be, I'd be doing it. you know, like

55:55

I like question even question that. then I'm

55:57

to Ashley about this and I'm thinking

56:00

my head. like, oh, she, these are

56:02

all like for her, Or they already have that. them.

56:04

And I sort of just think

56:06

like, Paul passes as just a made

56:09

thing. Like Ryan Philby I never

56:11

are gonna come. But

56:13

it was so fascinating to to her about it

56:15

and be like, oh wait, these are all

56:17

people that you you probably

56:19

have or it could

56:21

be an easy possibility with you and your husband. Where

56:24

she married? She's married, yeah. Okay. But

56:28

anyway, yeah. Yeah, you guys have all have

56:30

houses yet? No. I haven't talked

56:32

about that. talked about that. Yeah. I

56:34

I wanted to to ask you about that

56:37

one scene in the Because remember like go into

56:39

a hotel which up this kind of

56:41

like tour night they're having. Like

56:43

are sexy, you you know? So they go to

56:45

the Waldorf Astoria they're each like, okay, hit a

56:47

floor number. And then I think like, if they

56:50

pick the same number, are they they get a

56:52

room? I have no idea. They don't specify. So

56:54

he goes to the, wait, no, she goes

56:56

to the top, the penthouse floor 23. And

56:59

then he gets in an elevator and

57:01

I think he hits 23 also. And And

57:03

then that child dressed like the devil,

57:05

which again, not Halloween. It's five days till Christmas.

57:07

So I don't understand why this kid

57:09

was dressed like Satan. He starts hitting all

57:11

the buttons, you know? And

57:13

then people are coming on and then as

57:15

it seems in the movie, when they get out. And a

57:17

little shit hits all the buttons. Oh, know, yeah. Yeah.

57:19

he should just get out at the next

57:21

floor and then go hit 23 in a

57:23

different elevator. It's elevator bank. But then as they're

57:26

going up, you can see like a group

57:28

of like six randoms. Like he's getting people invested

57:30

in this. Like how fast was his elevator

57:32

pitch? Being like, we go upstairs. I met a

57:34

woman at shopping, you know? I don't even feel

57:36

like they should have gotten to the elevators.

57:38

I feel like they should have exchanged numbers to

57:40

I know there wouldn't have been a a

57:42

movie, but they should have

57:44

probably just exchanged. Yeah. Or names. And names. And I

57:46

think I think that you don't even need a lot

57:48

of information now. I don't know if serendipity would

57:51

now because you don't need a lot of information

57:53

to find somebody online. And with the the algorithm, sometimes

57:55

you don't need to help it because the algorithm will

57:57

know that you're with this person. And all of a

57:59

sudden they'll show up on your For page and

58:01

you're like, how the did that happen? It's

58:04

the algorithm, we'll find it. So Serendipity 2 would all

58:06

be about the algorithm. Exactly, yeah.

58:08

You know, I had a problem Well, you may know.

58:11

You mentioned how it's like Hollywood was in a costume.

58:13

Yeah. And I wish

58:15

Serendipity probably one of the reasons we

58:17

haven't covered it is because it's like,

58:19

of. is a Christmas movie, but but

58:21

not. not. I feel like it should have

58:23

more into Christmas. It's a

58:25

wedding movie, because engaged, so when we meet

58:28

him after this. Jeremy Piven

58:31

is giving a rehearsal

58:33

dinner type speech because he's

58:35

marrying Bridget Right. you know?

58:37

And so you meet him. it's like, oh,

58:39

he's in like a healthy relationship with this

58:41

woman who's perfectly lovely. Or just beautiful. Yeah.

58:43

And so that's the only part that I

58:45

was like, okay, this is weird. Like engaged

58:49

this woman, Piven is all

58:51

about it, gives a great speech. then he

58:53

ends up getting divorced later. He's like, yeah, our

58:55

perfect seeming relationship is actually a sham. is

58:57

And I'm like, sham. that checks out, you know,

58:59

it's always those couples who post on Instagram

59:01

like to each other. Oh, God, toxic. No,

59:04

I know I think anyone. Oh,

59:06

I think relationships in general shouldn't

59:08

be posted social media. Yeah, yeah. like it

59:10

always ruins it. ruins it. Yeah. And

59:12

also it's always so transparent when

59:14

you can see someone like over their

59:16

relationships there and you're like, okay. I

59:18

I some in mind. I'm like I'm like, mind

59:20

lizard to you of who it is. Yeah, we know. But it

59:23

happens a lot And it's like you see it

59:25

and then they're always the ones who are

59:27

breaking up the quickest, and it's like, are you

59:29

doing? Why didn't just or then you see sometimes

59:31

it with celebrities? They'll like be a

59:33

news article how they erase somebody from their

59:35

feed or whatever And like, maybe you should put of

59:37

put so many photos of that. Yeah, that's

59:39

why I'm grateful why I'm grateful, Matt. hard to take

59:41

a picture with them. Yeah,

59:43

tell Lucy. Uh, yeah

59:46

I noticed there were a lot of

59:48

clocks in this movie and

59:50

I was like like holographic

59:52

clocks a sundial, grandfather clocks. It was

59:54

very much a heavy handed, like

59:56

is ticking Not

59:59

even just to Christmas. but the wedding. That's what

1:00:01

it seems like Like, hard left, did

1:00:03

you know that it was released like right after 9-11?

1:00:05

- Oh yeah, I did Not to

1:00:07

interrupt what you were saying, but

1:00:09

you were talking about timing Yeah. it's

1:00:11

making me think like came

1:00:13

out I guess it premiered two days after

1:00:15

9-11 and then debuted large. then debuted large So that

1:00:18

was that like a film festival or

1:00:20

whatever And then like three weeks later premiered

1:00:22

by large. And that time was such a

1:00:24

weird time in history, but they had to

1:00:26

like edit, I guess, stuff out. They had

1:00:28

to edit like certain shots and stuff out of the

1:00:31

movie. Interesting. Because the World Trade Center or

1:00:33

something was in the background of some of

1:00:35

the shots And so they had to edit

1:00:37

things. I just remember that time and

1:00:39

it's like, I think so

1:00:41

much of art and culture changed after

1:00:43

9 -11, and I was like to watch this

1:00:45

with that critical lens and being like, okay, well,

1:00:48

how was this a product of its time

1:00:50

pre 9-11? -11? And it does sort of have

1:00:52

that sweetness and innocence in a way that even

1:00:54

we were texting about like the plane scene. Yeah. So gets

1:00:56

she's with Molly Shannon and then they

1:00:58

swap wallets because Because this whole thing

1:01:00

about how Molly Shannon's buying like chintzy wallets

1:01:03

So Kate Beckinsale able to board an airplane

1:01:05

with Molly Shannon's ID. but I was like

1:01:08

no. She's like sitting on the airplane. like, like, oh, I

1:01:10

got the wrong the wrong thing.

1:01:12

Exactly. And then I looked it up and I was

1:01:14

like, oh, this aired October 5th, 2011. 2011. OK, so So

1:01:16

had no, they had no chance. Right. Like

1:01:19

that never happen now. No, I know, So

1:01:22

it's a different time And there's a there's a different

1:01:24

energy to the movie that I think if

1:01:26

it even come a year later. But I

1:01:28

also wonder if there was other stuff cut

1:01:30

because I mentioned running time, it was on hour 30,

1:01:32

which is so short to me. And

1:01:35

reading that they had to cut some skyline

1:01:37

or whatever, I was like, I wonder if

1:01:39

there was anything at that airport scene that

1:01:41

they would have cut, because remember then they were cutting

1:01:43

like all stuff. Yeah. Like movies, TV shows. I

1:01:45

remember there was a a Friends episode. I think

1:01:47

they like did an air or it

1:01:49

oh, it was the one where and Chandler

1:01:51

were going on their honeymoon. Mmm.

1:01:53

And they had to like re shoot half

1:01:55

of it. It some racism in there. But there was I

1:01:57

don't even think there was like anything. It

1:02:00

was just a product of that time where

1:02:02

everything was being edited out. So it was just

1:02:04

like an airport stuff was added and they to re Do

1:02:07

the stuff and figure out it's like I wonder

1:02:09

if anything was cut because that Plane

1:02:11

did to me come out of

1:02:13

nowhere and I was like, I wonder if there's

1:02:15

like more of a scene beforehand Yeah, maybe absolutely

1:02:18

Did you remember anything about the

1:02:20

soundtrack? Because you brought that up.

1:02:22

Matt brought up to me like I remember

1:02:24

the soundtrack being like a thing and being

1:02:26

everywhere and I don't remember that and and

1:02:28

to be honest with you watching it

1:02:30

through a critical lens I was annoyed

1:02:32

by the music. Yeah,

1:02:35

we didn't actively like

1:02:37

it January rain Annie Lennox.

1:02:39

okay you know what rain I love I

1:02:41

love kiss rain kiss the Oh, that is

1:02:43

such a good one Dippity

1:02:47

I don't remember the soundtrack

1:02:49

being the mayor he it Louis

1:02:52

Armstrong, okay, so there's

1:02:54

some like very rom-comy Yeah the

1:02:56

era a lot of it to me

1:02:58

People are gonna for me because I know people love

1:03:00

this movie and I really like it There's like

1:03:02

a lot of stuff. I really love it and I

1:03:04

will watch it every time it's on TV or

1:03:07

I'll it on But just to complain

1:03:09

a little bit more There's

1:03:11

just like an element that's just

1:03:13

it doesn't quite reach the a list -com

1:03:15

status for me Mm -hmm, like

1:03:17

it's just not it's not up

1:03:19

there with like how to

1:03:22

lose guy in 10 days or you've

1:03:24

got mail in Seattle or when Harry met Sally like it's it just or

1:03:26

got a gift it's just like a little

1:03:28

bit lower -run because an idea They they

1:03:30

are chasing an idea of the other

1:03:32

person and not necessarily the other person

1:03:34

But the concept of like Oh,

1:03:36

met does this mean anything is

1:03:39

significance? And I don't feel

1:03:41

like there's enough uniqueness in

1:03:43

it. I Don't know

1:03:45

there's a couple moments with Molly But there's like

1:03:47

a little physical comedy with Molly that

1:03:49

I really love and she was honest and

1:03:51

I'll this point, right? Yeah, this was like her

1:03:53

era of like supporting role the Grinch Shoot

1:03:56

a couple scenes in the Grinch.

1:03:58

Yeah, which that's always a dream

1:04:01

life is like to be, I I don't think

1:04:03

movies have it as much anymore where it's

1:04:05

like a comedian comes in and does two scenes

1:04:07

and just gets to be like some crazy

1:04:09

character in that place. Yeah. I feel feel

1:04:11

like that's missing. Yeah. And

1:04:13

also And also Kate tricked her into going on

1:04:15

this trip. know, she's like, oh, let's go. Let's

1:04:18

trip. just go away for, one you know,

1:04:20

one more weekend and then they get in

1:04:22

a cab and she's like, surprise, I'm gonna

1:04:24

find this stranger that I met 10

1:04:26

years ago. You know, know, Molly

1:04:28

Shannon's like, okay, you're not a good friend,

1:04:30

you know. I'm just

1:04:32

thinking of that. What other roles?

1:04:34

feel like she must must played that best friend

1:04:36

role a lot. Never kissed. I think she

1:04:38

was sort of best sort of best friendy. Oh yeah. she

1:04:41

in that? had that. Yeah, I love, love, fact, about

1:04:43

never been kissed. She played

1:04:45

Drew's friend or with Drew

1:04:47

Barrymore. What if if it

1:04:49

was Drew Carey? Never

1:04:51

been kissed. Another fun fact, yeah. Yeah.

1:04:53

Okay. I'm getting us on another

1:04:55

tangent tangent we just brought up Drew

1:04:58

Carey. Drew Carey a

1:05:00

movie in the 2000s

1:05:02

called Geppetto for ABC's Wonderful

1:05:05

of Disney. Jenna.

1:05:08

Okay. So, you know, I watched old episodes

1:05:10

with Rosie O'Donnell before bed. she uploads one

1:05:12

every day on her YouTube channel. That's

1:05:14

hilarious. Yeah, a whole episode. And

1:05:16

just recently she had Drew Carey

1:05:18

on promoting Gepetto. And

1:05:21

Gepetto, it's a musical about

1:05:23

Gepetto, you know, from Pinocchio.

1:05:25

Yeah. And Drew And Drew was

1:05:27

hired to sing and dance. He's the star

1:05:29

of Geppetto. Can sing and dance? No. Okay. Okay.

1:05:31

And so she had Drew Carey on and I

1:05:33

like I was watching a fever dream

1:05:35

and she was like, okay, show us a

1:05:37

clip. And they showed a clip and I'm

1:05:39

like, what the fuck is going on? So then

1:05:41

I ended up in a spiral. then like

1:05:43

next day or a couple of days later

1:05:45

she had Julie Louis Dreyfuson, who's also in Gepetto singing

1:05:47

and dancing. Wow. And

1:05:50

I just thought like, who did

1:05:52

this? Like, why? I haven't even heard

1:05:54

of Gepetto. You to look it up

1:05:56

up sometime and I want to look it

1:05:58

up because it. - is

1:06:00

crazy. And And yeah,

1:06:02

it's like who thought, oh, oh,

1:06:04

1:06:07

musical, Let's cast Drew

1:06:09

1:06:19

also on Brady, on a gas tire

1:06:21

in it. Oh, yeah. A lot of

1:06:23

crazy random people, but those two

1:06:25

were the leads. And leads. Julia Louis Dreyfus, we love

1:06:27

for it, no one better. Yeah. But

1:06:29

I don't think of her But I

1:06:31

think of her when I think of singing, couldn't they

1:06:33

have gotten burned up Peter's, Patty Laconne or something? Like Like

1:06:35

why Julia Dreyfus of all people that she's

1:06:37

a fairy. sang, I think she sang it.

1:06:43

Anna I never, Yeah, I don't, I never

1:06:45

actually saw Geppetto. Yeah. Maybe we have

1:06:47

to cover Geppetto. We have We have to

1:06:49

Gepetto. Where did that, where was

1:06:51

I going with that? Drew Carey, Drew Barrymore.

Wow, we went on Molly. we went on

1:06:57

1:07:00

1:07:02

though was cast in that movie and they

1:07:04

ended up writing new scenes for

1:07:06

her after she was cast or after

1:07:08

maybe even she filming because they were

1:07:10

like, oh, you're really funny. Let's add

a scene. Yeah, And she's the one

1:14:27

in this little thing. It's the actual watch upstairs,

1:14:29

but this is the case. Anyway, $29.99. .99. And

1:14:31

it it was pristine condition, Jenna, because I

1:14:33

was too scared to wear it

1:14:35

as a kid. And And break it or leave.

1:14:37

thought it was it was like this to me was

1:14:40

this was a female jewel. Yeah. was was diamonds.

1:14:42

Heirlooms. Yeah. And An heirloom. Yeah. she said

1:14:44

it, and I'm looking at it, like

1:14:46

$29 .99. I was was to

1:14:48

put it on. Yeah. Also,

1:14:51

I wonder when they actually

1:14:53

filmed this because the opening. I keep getting at

1:14:55

this off, so off today. You're getting a smack. That's OK.

1:14:57

No. I just want one my weirdest. I

1:14:59

was like, watch I had in 96. it? because

1:15:01

.96. This watch I had. The

1:15:03

packing peanut snow in the opening scene, I noticed that.

1:15:05

I was like, like, these are

1:15:07

just foam things. then in the. In all

1:15:09

the of the where there

1:15:11

was snow falling, it was very fake. Yeah,

1:15:14

it was all fake. And so like, like,

1:15:16

I when they shot this. Maybe in

1:15:18

the summer, but then. They didn't even

1:15:20

look like potato flakes. They look

1:15:22

like something else. Yeah, like foam Boom, there packing peanuts. What

1:15:24

was that? And then during the failed

1:15:26

ceremony, when it's all botched and then

1:15:28

she shows up late they're stacking up

1:15:30

the chairs and there's that whole confusion

1:15:32

about who did they get. not

1:15:34

got married. Yeah, continuity. If you watch her back,

1:15:36

look at her back. She's wearing a

1:15:38

blouse. The The sweat marks

1:15:40

are ever changing. OK, like have one cut and

1:15:42

it's a tiny one in between her

1:15:44

shoulder blades. And then it's full back.

1:15:46

And I was like, well,

1:15:48

many times did make her run up

1:15:51

into this venue? That was

1:15:53

probably the double or the the scent double. Like

1:15:55

sweaty back to keep running. Yes. Yeah. I was

1:15:57

like, oh, gosh, they couldn't even give her

1:15:59

like a jack. it or a scarf or change blouse? Like,

1:16:01

Like, who do you notice that? I'm the Hallmark movie. had

1:16:03

to keep they had to give me

1:16:05

pit pads it was all layered and

1:16:07

I'm a sweater anyway And I was

1:16:09

anxious and I can do the things. And so

1:16:11

I had to wear these like thick

1:16:13

sweat pads. And there was one

1:16:15

outfit that I sweat through the the

1:16:17

pit pads And they're like a thick

1:16:19

thing that go underneath your pits And I

1:16:21

still have like a mark underneath. But

1:16:23

it's like It gets hot under

1:16:25

the under the I'm a sweater. Yeah, That's

1:16:28

showbiz. That's showbiz, baby. Wait,

1:16:30

okay. let me look, I I have other notes

1:16:32

here. I also have

1:16:34

my Grinch notes for, recording our Grinch one soon. yeah,

1:16:37

Oh yeah, I got Grinch too. And so I have Grinch

1:16:39

Eugene Levy. What?

1:16:41

another icon? Speaking of Speaking of splash. Yeah. Wait,

1:16:43

did we talk everything about John Corbett insane?

1:16:45

I mean, really, just in general, a

1:16:47

a lot of choices, a lot of

1:16:49

choices. I mean, he's a a complicated

1:16:52

villain. You know what mean? Because I know

1:16:54

his schedule was a big issue for

1:16:56

her about when they would go on a

1:16:58

honeymoon. I was like, okay, but that's dating a

1:17:00

musician. That's dating a touring musician. You're going to

1:17:02

have to be strategic. Have you dated

1:17:04

a touring musician? Briefly. Briefly,

1:17:08

interesting. I'll tell you later. Eugene

1:17:12

Levy. Popping, was in similar role Molly Shannon where

1:17:14

it's like you get to pop up for a

1:17:16

couple of scenes. And Eugene Levy was like infamous for

1:17:18

that in the 2000s where it was popping in

1:17:20

one scene, get be funny and then leave.

1:17:22

Yeah. But yeah,

1:17:24

I don't know. I like Eugene Levy. I'm

1:17:26

happy for him. Yeah, And I like that he

1:17:29

was extorting him for information. Right.

1:17:31

But I don't know how how weird that, Oh, yeah. So

1:17:33

when he found the old receipt, it had an

1:17:35

account number. And so that's when

1:17:37

he goes back, John Cusack, and he's like, hey,

1:17:39

can you look up the account? And then

1:17:41

he has to go into some storage

1:17:44

facility. He's like, need a person who works

1:17:46

here to get in there. Yeah. And

1:17:48

don't you like this purple tie? Like very, Oh,

1:17:50

yeah. he He was like making John Corbett or Cusack a

1:17:52

bunch of shit from him. Yeah. A

1:17:55

purple $700 a suit, purple suit. suit.

1:17:57

And I know he was was blackmailing. John

1:18:00

Cusack, but it was like too

1:18:02

far. Yeah, too far. So So engaged.

1:18:05

Like felt like a too far. Right, right, right.

1:18:07

Like at that point, you need to to like let

1:18:09

Bridget the hook. See, I would have bought

1:18:11

it if we had seen more of the

1:18:13

sparks between, or if if there,

1:18:15

it was too far from that ice

1:18:17

skating scene. Removed. Too far removed that I'm like, well,

1:18:19

now it is feeling inappropriate. Yeah, because there's

1:18:21

the other old movie called Same Time

1:18:23

Next Year, you you know, where like couple, they

1:18:25

have an affair and they meet up

1:18:27

once a year. You know, but

1:18:29

you're right. is a, could you you blowing up your life

1:18:31

for someone you met while shopping 10 years

1:18:33

ago? Yeah, like, oh Matt, sorry. like I'm going

1:18:36

to the store, but really I'm

1:18:38

going with Eugene Levy break into

1:18:40

a storage facility where I

1:18:42

just spent $1,000 in ,000 on a suit so that I

1:18:44

could meet this woman that I saw very briefly.

1:18:46

Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Who was also engaged at the

1:18:48

time. You know, and I had read that it

1:18:50

was actually supposed to be a longer distance in

1:18:52

between when they met at the beginning versus they

1:18:55

fall back in love, but

1:18:57

then That's crazy. about I mean, couldn't

1:18:59

age-wise them look far enough

1:19:02

apart. Yeah. Or when no, no, I think

1:19:04

what I I read was that Kate

1:19:06

Beckinsale and Cusick didn't look like they could

1:19:08

play like college age. True. it

1:19:10

ended up being up years, but

1:19:12

it's like they're already a little older when

1:19:15

it starts, it makes sense. sense. How, I I mean,

1:19:17

that would be even weirder if it was

1:19:19

20 years. You know, I think they I think

1:19:21

they wanted like, they must have wanted like a When Harry Met

1:19:23

vibe. Yeah. But When Harry Met Sally works because

1:19:25

you believe them and they're in college as

1:19:27

well as - And they bump into each

1:19:29

other and then they're friends. Yeah. So yeah, they're friends

1:19:31

throughout these different life moments. But in all

1:19:34

these movies that we're mentioning that are of

1:19:36

comparable, I do think that I do think that even

1:19:38

you get to, I don't know that I

1:19:40

got to know John Cusick and Kate separately

1:19:42

either. Like when they were separate, I

1:19:44

don't feel like I know much of

1:19:46

anything about them. No. And I

1:19:48

feel like in Harry Met Sally, you get to

1:19:50

know Billy Crystal and Meg separately. And

1:19:52

their personalities. Yeah, you get to know who

1:19:54

they are So So if you're not seeing

1:19:56

them interact, which that one you are, but even

1:19:59

if you weren't. you still

1:20:01

imagine the chemistry Whereas serendipity, I just feel like

1:20:03

they're talking about how all this great

1:20:05

chemistry that they had for that one scene,

1:20:07

but I'm just not buying it. Yeah, such a good

1:20:09

scene, he didn't even know her name You

1:20:12

know, I I was like, okay, that's red flag.

1:20:14

Right. You know. You know?

1:20:16

find do you find Jean-Cusack hot? No. Me Me

1:20:18

either. Yeah! Yeah. No. I

1:20:20

wonder who does. I feel like like does.

1:20:22

Well, people a lot of people who love

1:20:24

to say anything. Oh,

1:20:26

okay, that was before my time. Like that was a formative, I

1:20:28

that was like a formative for a lot of people.

1:20:30

wasn't my time either. Yeah, I feel like I

1:20:32

never never really, I Liked it,

1:20:34

but I never really did much

1:20:37

for me. Yeah, and And maybe that's

1:20:39

why Yeah. I used Yeah, I see your story.

1:20:41

I lived in Chicago. I used to

1:20:43

to hear stories about him and

1:20:45

and Piven too. mm -hmm And

1:20:48

yeah, they were just like, around

1:20:50

Chicago, because the big Chicago people, Not not

1:20:52

anything like super or anything. Yeah.

1:20:55

But just But good stories,

1:20:57

but not anything wildly outrageous,

1:20:59

but. Jeremy has the strongest arc

1:21:02

in the whole movie because you meet

1:21:04

him, he's like up this relationship

1:21:06

of his best friend and she's the

1:21:08

best girl. And then then just

1:21:10

over halfway the movie, he's like, okay,

1:21:12

forget her. We're gonna, I'm your on this mission

1:21:14

to find this stranger, you know? And

1:21:16

then he writes him an obituary. Remember that

1:21:18

scene where he's like, writes, oh, because he

1:21:20

works for the New York Times. And

1:21:23

so writing obituary, He said this job. got to

1:21:25

be someone who works at works York Times. Oh, yeah,

1:21:27

New York Times. Oh, yeah, movie like In a movie like and so he

1:21:29

writes an for his friend

1:21:31

and I was like, okay, if I

1:21:33

was Bridget Moynihan, I'd be like, okay,

1:21:35

asshole, you spoke at my rehearsal

1:21:37

dinner and you're fully turned

1:21:39

his back, right? Yeah.

1:21:41

we're a Or a worse man. know,

1:21:43

know, Bridget Moynihan always

1:21:46

in these things. Mm -hmm. She's

1:21:48

never really. Oh, she's in Sex the

1:21:50

City also, isn't she the... Yeah, that's right. said.

1:21:52

Yeah, big. That's right. Oh, what

1:21:55

a small world! is this? She's also been

1:21:57

in Coyote Ugly. she's got a pretty pristine

1:21:59

resume But I feel bad

1:22:01

for her. She's always just like

1:22:03

of popping in being forgettable ex or whatever.

1:22:05

Yeah Yeah, the one that gets kind of

1:22:08

shaded but But so the movie

1:22:10

is Largely not and then it

1:22:13

ends Christmassy. So I do understand how

1:22:15

people considered this Christmas. movie Yeah, there

1:22:17

was Christmas shopping at the start But

1:22:19

I don't know that yeah That's

1:22:21

it. Yeah, I that I considered a

1:22:23

Christmas. you know, like I get

1:22:25

people People would watch in November

1:22:27

December Mm-hmm. Yeah definitely cuz there's the ice

1:22:30

rink cuz then the final scene,

1:22:32

you you know bookends the

1:22:34

front where doesn't he go?

1:22:36

He finds her a jacket. Yeah,

1:22:38

does know it's hers? I I don't think

1:22:40

so He Sniffs it like a Creepo

1:22:42

then goes into the middle of the Creepo ice

1:22:45

rink lays down and then she

1:22:47

comes back for it I think these people

1:22:49

have amnesia. They leave all their shit all over the

1:22:51

city and they should be locked up. Yeah

1:22:53

in general. Yeah Like

1:22:55

I know also like I mean if if you lose

1:22:57

that much of your own possessions your belongings

1:22:59

I don't know the movie really thrives

1:23:01

and survives off that ice ring. Yes to

1:23:03

me Like I think that if

1:23:05

it weren't for that scene, I don't

1:23:08

know that people would remember this

1:23:10

movie. Yeah, true. I don't know that it would

1:23:12

be as beloved. Mm-hmm. I think that

1:23:14

scene really Does it because I

1:23:16

don't know that there's a whole lot

1:23:18

else There's a couple

1:23:20

of them. There's that one physical sight

1:23:22

with Molly's Jan that made me gaffa Mm

1:23:25

-hmm, but I don't know that there's much

1:23:27

memorable stuff Mm -hmm, like is there a

1:23:29

scene you know what Harry tell you think

1:23:31

of Okay, the the diner thing.

1:23:33

Yeah, right or nears Eve New

1:23:36

Eve scene you that big I

1:23:38

don't even feel like the ending of serendipity

1:23:40

the big Getting each other

1:23:42

back isn't is big enough. -hmm.

1:23:45

ending Yeah, it is cuz they don't know each other Yeah, I

1:23:47

think that's what it is. So

1:23:49

just can't think of a scene There's not

1:23:51

a lot jumping out my head of like

1:23:53

oh was super memorable. Mm-hmm. Nothing like skating ring, I

1:23:55

love. Yeah, I think that's a beautiful scene.

1:23:57

Yeah, it is really pretty. Yeah Yeah Do

1:24:00

you have any other thoughts about Serendipse?

1:24:02

Yeah, I think I think that

1:24:04

be the early 2000s appeal appeal

1:24:06

is just this notion of of one that got

1:24:08

away. I think that's maybe why people like

1:24:10

it. You know, if you think

1:24:12

about, oh, the one that got away. which be

1:24:15

honest, I don't even know, I I don't even I

1:24:17

have one of those. There is something sweet in

1:24:19

the simplicity. So I know I'm

1:24:22

kind of dragging it, but there is

1:24:24

something nice about just the movie in general.

1:24:26

Like not a lot of conflict. It's like, just like

1:24:28

a a nice movie. it's It's like a like a homework-y

1:24:30

type movie. it's It's like, let's put it on

1:24:32

and enjoy it. and you can watch it. It's

1:24:34

food for a lot of people for

1:24:36

this one. And yeah, you

1:24:38

do like the music on the soundtrack,

1:24:40

it's like a nice music and pretty people

1:24:42

to look at. Nice, normal teeth.

1:24:45

Yeah, except normal teeth, normal

1:24:47

faces. Because there is that

1:24:49

thing about the book. I need to

1:24:51

look up what Love in the time of cholera

1:24:53

is even about. because like must be something.

1:24:55

But also if you're sitting up in another, every time

1:24:57

you're at a bookstore or a book stand New

1:24:59

York, which is every day. day, And they're

1:25:01

just looking in the front cover of

1:25:03

that book, you okay mentally? I know, But also it's

1:25:05

such a romantic, I love when these

1:25:07

movies romanticize books in general. But I

1:25:09

think the same plot device was used

1:25:11

in that movie. Definitely maybe. Have you ever

1:25:13

seen seen Ryan Reynolds? There's Isla Fisher. Isla Fisher.

1:25:15

Doesn't she go and look for books

1:25:18

at every bookstore? Her dad

1:25:20

wrote her a note. Oh

1:25:22

yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Yeah, deceased father

1:25:25

dedicated a book to her. A

1:25:27

little different. Yeah, that's more rules. I love definitely maybe. Absolutely.

1:25:29

Abigail Abigail To me, that's like

1:25:31

one of the most one

1:25:33

of the most underrated rom coms of like times.

1:25:36

Rachel Deis. of my

1:25:38

lifetime. Yeah. Like love, it's a comfort

1:25:40

food for me. I find it's so

1:25:43

soothing. And I don't love Ryan Reynolds. Like

1:25:45

never really had much of an opinion.

1:25:47

But I love definitely maybe. Yeah. But yeah, same

1:25:49

plot. Because you get to see them them together. Kind

1:25:51

of like what's that one with Natalie Portman? no

1:25:54

attached. Oh yeah. Kutcher. Yeah, you see them

1:25:56

like they know each other. You know

1:25:58

terrible was that Ashton Kutcher. is with a

1:26:00

spoon one, which was the same pop as

1:26:02

got mail. Yes, I mean, the hot just watched it.

1:26:04

And I was like, this is a

1:26:06

really good movie. And he was, no, it's horrible.

1:26:09

It was bad, right? was bad. bad. Yeah,

1:26:11

it was was was bad. Yeah, it Yeah. it was upsetting. Yeah, very

1:26:14

upsetting. Jenna, any other kind of thoughts?

1:26:16

That's it. Yeah. This

1:26:18

did me to buy a really nice pair

1:26:20

of cashmere gloves for Christmas. Oh, yeah, yeah.

1:26:22

Yeah. I want nice scarf. And I really

1:26:25

want to go to the actual serendipity get like

1:26:27

of those ice cream. Awesome. Yeah, you have to. It's

1:26:29

so good. I've been to there's the Vegas

1:26:31

one like right outside of Caesar's Palace. I have

1:26:33

gotten some like extravagant sweet there. I don't remember

1:26:35

if it was ice cream or what it Yeah. And

1:26:37

it was it was probably black tat. It was Vegas. Yeah, totally. But

1:26:40

they do have it there. But blacked serendipity, remember

1:26:42

it becoming like a big thing. And I

1:26:44

thought it was because of Sex and the City. But

1:26:46

maybe I'm making up. Maybe it's from this movie.

1:26:48

It could be Sex and the City. It wouldn't surprise

1:26:51

me. I would have thought, I

1:26:53

know we're going to wrap this up, but I would

1:26:55

have thought Cape Beckinsale would

1:26:57

had a different career path after Pearl

1:26:59

Harbor, serendipity. This was a hit. It did make

1:27:01

a ton of money, but it was hit,

1:27:03

especially coming out of post-9-11. -11. It was

1:27:06

one of the first few hits because office

1:27:09

was at a real mess at that

1:27:11

time. so it did well

1:27:13

and she was the lead. then she

1:27:15

was also the female lead in in

1:27:17

Harbor over Jennifer Garner, who just had

1:27:19

a little side role in that movie.

1:27:21

So I would have thought Cape Beckinsale have had

1:27:23

a bigger career. A bigger? A bigger date A

1:27:26

bigger career. in then she would have had to date male comedians in 2024. You

1:27:28

know, she picks up. for a

1:27:30

you. Yeah, you know, she pays for

1:27:32

everything. We up rooting for you rooting for

1:27:34

you. Yeah. a nice, she pays for everything. We are

1:27:36

somebody else because you should not be
