became empty ness. She's in back at home. It's been
a break from university and it's been lovely having her back.
That said I was gonna get used to actually piece cut,
and I just suddenly settled back into being an emptiness.
And actually there are some positives here, the lack of
(00:52):
just never ending, an abundance of washing to do again,
and stuff that actually you've only just worn that like
two hours ago. There's no way it's soiled. You just
don't want to fold it and put it away. Just
been exhausted washing again. So in a way she goes back.
We're moving her back Sunday, so my wife and I
are obviously prepared for yet another heartbreak. However, yesterday I
(01:14):

Speaker 2 (01:43):
Okay. She goes to me, Oh, I don't think I

Apparently Brad Pitt falls in love with the mechanic and
apparently you just don't do that. Said listen, then don't

It's sixty odd of your old guys getting in there.
So I booked one loan ticket and then suddenly my
heartbreaks when my daughter comes in the house and I'm like,
I was just getting ready to go out. She goes,
where do you go and go? And little Simbar come
with me. She goes, oh great, I'll come with I'll
get another ticket. There's only when I booked it five
o'clock on a Wednesday, there's only six people watching. So
(02:29):
I go, easy to get you another There's an entire
cinema you don't even know to sit next week, pick
her and see. She goes, wait, wait, you're not going
to go and see that racing movie. I am, But
I said, look, it's not about racing, it's a human drama.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
She gets. She gets. She goes, it's two and half hours.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
No, she goes, I'm not not two and a half
hours and half hour that's a lot. So anyway, she goes,
why don't you just not go? Yeah, I'm going Sunday

I really want to watch the movie. And uh, I
was really looking forward to the snacks. And she goes,
you know, you should just not go and then we
can watch a movie. Might you do it next week.
(03:07):
You'll have a lot of time. You'll be desperate to feel.
She goes to a bedroom. I sat there thinking it
was like two me's. I was like, my stomach was
getting ready for snacks.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Going alone. There's no my wife.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You can't have that crisis. So I'm thinking, I eat
whatever I want and then throw it on the floor
as well, and then watch two and a half hours
of men racing in cars a human drama.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
But I'm thinking, oh god, I'm going to really miss it.
I can see this next week.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
So going to bedroom and I go, hey, listen, I'm
not going to go to the movie. She just goes good,
and I go, will you watch the original Happy Gilmour
with me tonight?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
She goes, yes, the new one's out this weekend.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
And I in one area, I know I've raised those girls'
rights to appreciate comedy. It makes me so happy when
I hear them watching by just the two of them,
old episodes of Seinfeld or Modern Family or Parks and
Rex all the Office, And they've been raised on Adam Sandler,
on Will Farrell. Right, So I said, like this is
this is Sam Man when he was really aren't a
break brig it's nineteen ninety six, the original Happy Gilmore.
(04:12):
And I said to do you know what, you reminded
me of something that actually, there's nothing wrong in life
about owning your own needs. You're quite right, you just
want to hang out with me. I felt, you're talk
about small thing, big joy. We got to take away.
Me and her just watched Happy Gilmore. Right, she never
seen him before. I haven't seen it in years, and
I love the sad Man. Nineteen ninety six is peak
Sandman when he was just starting to leave essen now
and do movies right. It is for an hour and
(04:33):
a half, relentlessly funny. There's not a wasted scene in
Happy Gilmore. You've got one of the greatest nineties movie
baddies of all time.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Shooter, Yes, reendlessly even the pistol.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
He buys the home in all of that, he because
he buys the foreclosed home of his NaNs. All that
he's brilliant. And I said, I gave love it's a
small speech. Beforehand, I said, Look, the thing about peak
Sandman movies is he's always best when he's a psycho
and he's yelling like this in the opening scene of
Happy Gilmore, Jerry.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Wait, wait, hold on a second. Yeah, you're not going
for good, are you, Honey. You're going nowhere happy and
you're taking me with you.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
All you ever talk about is being a pro hockey player.
But there's a problem.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
You're not any good.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I am good. You know what. You're a lousy kindergarten teacher.
I see no fingerpaints you bring home and they suck, Yeah, suck.
And it's just you forget. There's so many great bits said.
I've forgot about.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Chubs coach, cold Weathers, the great cold Weathers, the fake
behind it's way too big, but that's what makes it funny.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
It should have been.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
It's there's no way a fake hand would be that big.
And then the fingers keep coming off and it gets
run over, and he goes, don't worry about that. That
solid wooden't just crumble.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
And that line, why don't you just go get in
the ball.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
It's got more quotable jokes per minute than any other
Adam Sandler movie, and I think any of the Golden Movie.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah, so it's so good.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
As we're watching it and just falling back in love
with the nineties, I actually started to google this morning
Timberland boots.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I might buy a pair of timber And boots. Do
you remember when.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I just won those choice to have a pair in
the nineties. I'm going to bring back Timberland boots. Oh god,
you have a hypercolor T shirt? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
And then the end of it, I said, what do
you think? We were laughing our asses after it. It's
still relentlessly funny. Do you remember when they're those those
those comedy movies of the nineties, you know, and obviously
there was like Dumb and Dumber as well.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
They were like the big movies of the years. They
were the blockbusters.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
They were the blockbuster and they just went for jokes.
They didn't worry about making a serious pointer ring. They
just weren't for jokes. And they're just joyous. They're plainful
and joyous. And both of us are laughing relentlessly. And
I was so pleased because I was wondering, like, is
it that good? Now at the end of it, I went,
just be honest, Mark set Tennis shows that is an
eleven out of ten. Wow, oh my god, oh my god,
(07:12):
You've got to watch it.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
It is so good.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
And now I'm even more excited, happy Gilmour two drops
tomorrow on Netflix. And you know what's really sad is
they they'd written the script for it, Adam Sandler and
the original writer of it, and they had.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
A big role for Carl Weathers.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh but then he passed away two weeks before they
started filming. Oh yeah, I think they were going to
have like a big role of like a ghost kind
of advising her, but he passed away, so they've had
to redo it. Spits on the trailer. There's Son of Chubbs. Also,
has he got a fake arm? Of course he has.
(07:51):
He got that joke walk thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Bring it back.
