Pretty good.
$5 and 99 cents.
Simon (01:58):
Amazing deal.
Suzanne (01:59):
it's amazing
deal.
Simon (02:03):
Okay.
Well, like for this episode,we're gonna talk about, uh, some
of our favorite movies, um, themovies, or at least not just
favorite movies, but ourfavorite movies with romance and
love you.
Aren't exactly a big movieperson or at least not like
myself and my
Suzanne (02:19):
Family.
Well, I am a big, I like towatch movies, but I am not the
person that can remember who allthe actors are and quote movies
got it, or anything like that.
But I do obviously enjoy mymovies.
Simon (02:33):
Okay.
So which ones do you
Suzanne (02:35):
Have?
Well, since I'm not the bestone, I'm going with my favorite
movie, which is money pit.
Ah, and that is probably the onemovie that I actually can quote
it's two weeks.
It's two weeks.
That is the one with Tom Hanksand Shelly long, uh, who are
Walter and Anna.
And my favorite part.
(02:56):
I mean, it's kind of a, youknow, they break up, so, but
then they get back together inthe end.
But my favorite piece is whenthat, um, the bathtub falls
through, uh, anyway, butit is true love in the end and
they all, they get back togetherand
Simon (03:15):
Yeah, I do like, uh, the money, but it's a great example
of love.
Suzanne (03:19):
Yeah.
Simon (03:20):
Well, any anyone, that's,
Suzanne (03:21):
It's a great example of anybody who's tried to redo a
house and stayed togetherafterwards.
Simon (03:27):
Yeah.
The, the remodeling process is astressful experience for sure.
Well, let's see for me, um, oneof my I'm actually gonna list no
, I'm gonna start with trueromance.
Um, so true romance was writtenby Quinton Tarantino, um, stars,
Christian Slater, and Patriciaake as Clarence and Alabama.
(03:49):
Um, I like this one a lot.
This, this resonated with mebecause, uh, his character is a
comic bookstore owner and, uh,at the time comics weren't as
cool as they are now.
So it was very rare to seesomebody owning a comic
bookstore show, uh, shown in apositive light.
So mm-hmm so thatwas, that was great.
But if, if you enjoy, uh, a lotof violence and romance, true
Suzanne (04:14):
Romance, those two go together
Simon (04:15):
Yeah.
True romance is, is a fantasticfilm for, uh, uh, for love and
action.
Okay.
So what else do you
Suzanne (04:23):
Have?
I probably have two more and I'm, I think I'm just super
predictable on these prettywoman.
Mm-hmm with, uh,Richard gear and Julia Roberts
who are Edward and Vivian, whois, uh, street Walker, I guess
we could say.
Um, and, uh, he ends up, uh,hiring her for a week, so he
doesn't have to deal with any ofthe other ladies that are around
(04:47):
, um, and ends up falling inlove.
And you know, me, I love myhappy endings.
Mm-hmm
Simon (04:52):
Uh, pretty woman definitely has a happy
Suzanne (04:54):
Ending.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, even, you know, the boomboxon us.
Simon (04:59):
Not saying anything.
Oh, he,
Suzanne (05:02):
You,
Simon (05:04):
But no, I get your point.
He, he, I, I believe he, uh,arrives in his limousine with
flowers at the bottom of thestairs
Suzanne (05:12):
Outside.
So you've already mixed up allmy romantic movies.
I have no idea whichones, which they all just love
and love.
Simon (05:20):
Yeah.
You know, so, uh, so another oneof mine is, uh, the wedding
singer.
Um, the,
Suzanne (05:28):
Okay.
Simon (05:28):
Uh, I'm not, I'm not a huge Adam Sandler fan, but the
wedding singer withdrewBarrymore was I, I think one of
the, one of the funniest moviesI I've seen in a long time, the
romance between the twocharacters, Robbie and Julia I
thought was pretty, prettygenuine.
It was clearly a well writtenscript and loads of great pop
culture references throughoutthe third movie.
(05:51):
So, um, yeah, the wedding singerprobably be mine.
Suzanne (05:56):
I gotta end because you know how I love my Christmas
movies.
So this is gonna be predictableto everyone, but love actually,
uh, with Hugh grant.
And what's her name?
Simon (06:07):
Mar Martin McCleon,
Suzanne (06:09):
Um, who he is the prime minister of England and his, a
Natalie.
Um, they, you know, it's allChristmas, very romantic, um,
such a great story and, youknow, funny, funny, and
Simon (06:22):
Yeah, exactly.
Uh, there's, there's a lot ofgreat scenes with the, the car
ride to the, to the theater, uh,for the kid show.
Yeah.
With the kid dressed as anoctopus, for the, for the
nativity
Suzanne (06:37):
And all nativities have octopus, a gum,
Simon (06:40):
For sure.
Yeah.
That, that was great.
I've got a couple, um, which aretime travel related, which is,
Suzanne (06:46):
Um, also super romantic.
Yeah,
Simon (06:48):
Exactly.
Suzanne (06:48):
You can tell the difference of our that
styles I'm I think traditionalromance and then Simon is no, I,
I, I guess another kind ofromance
Simon (07:00):
no.
So, so hear me out, hear me out.
So there's a movie called abouttime with Rachel McAdams and Dom
Gleason.
Uh, and the, the story is he hasthe ability or his family or the
men in his family have theability to move through time,
but only in relation to his ownlife itself.
(07:21):
So he can't influence timeoutside of his life, but he can
influence anything thatinteracts with his life.
So he goes through the processof trying to win over Rachel
McAdams, since there's a longseries of him trying to impress
her throughout the movie, Ithought it was pretty good.
Suzanne (07:38):
Hmm.
So he gets to try over and overand over again.
Simon (07:40):
Yeah, exactly.
So he keeps messing up becausehe up going back and trying and
trying until he gets it exactlyright.
Hmm.
Lots of small gestures, so
Suzanne (07:49):
Mm.
Which we say exactly.
Lots of small gestures orsomething every day.
Simon (07:54):
Yeah, indeed.
So, so there's that, and thenthere's also back to the future
Suzanne (08:00):
well, of course
there
Simon (08:03):
ISRA Banes and George McFly.
So the whole movie was, uh, wasultimately about their first
kiss.
Um, Marty McFly had to make surethat they kissed, um, and spent
the rest of their livestogether.
That one's, uh, a good one forme because it's George trying to
get his girl.
Suzanne (08:23):
Yeah.
And, uh, I mean, those, aren'tyour traditional chick flicks.
And so that's, that's good thatyou have your own romance
movies.
Simon (08:32):
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean
Suzanne (08:33):
Something for everyone on that
Simon (08:34):
One.
There are, there are others thatI like as well.
I mean, I'm, I like pray toprejudice, big fan of
Shakespeare in love.
Um, you shape of water, althoughit must have been shape of water
was more about the director andthe Doug Jones, but, um,
I'm a big, uh, Deltoro fan, but,uh, yeah.
Uh, I, I, I enjoy my romancemovies, but, uh, uh, I, I have
(08:59):
to be in the right frame of mindto watch a romance movie.
Suzanne (09:02):
So those are some of our favorite romantic movies
that,
Simon (09:06):
Yeah.
If you've got some interestingromantic movies that you'd like
to tell us about, you can, uh,send us an email to a romantic
things app@gmail.com.
Um, we'd love to know whatmovies you think.
Uh, we should include in ourlist.
Why don't we get'em with, uh,the romantic things for this
episode, the first one wasmaking dinner together.
(09:26):
Um, we did this over theweekend.
Uh, we had noodles and chicken.
Suzanne (09:31):
Uh, the act of making dinner was great, but the meal
was awful.
Simon (09:36):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Suzanne (09:37):
and we followed
the recipe and it just was not,
it was a flop.
Simon (09:42):
Yeah.
It was not good.
Um, yeah.
I was hoping cuz the meal wentso you're right.
The, the actual making of themeal went so well,
Suzanne (09:50):
Sous chefing and
Simon (09:51):
Yeah.
Yeah.
We, we were, we were in sync.
Um, you were chopping everythingI needed and had it ready for me
to go in the pan.
Um, yeah, everything was insync, but when it came to the
actual taste itself, it was
Suzanne (10:05):
Not,
Simon (10:05):
It was a bit bland and good.
Suzanne (10:07):
Yeah.
Not good, but we did make dinnertogether,
Simon (10:09):
But we did, we did make dinner together while it was fun
to do the activity together.
I think I prefer cooking alone.
Suzanne (10:17):
I knew you were
gonna say that cause what you
get your rhythm of cooking andthen other person just kind of
gets in the way and you're like,wait, I don't wanna do that
right now.
No, wait.
No.
Simon (10:28):
Well for me it's for, so what are you doing and what am I
doing?
are you doing this bit?
Am I doing this bit?
So it just adds a lot ofquestions rather than just
getting on with it kind ofthing.
So
Suzanne (10:39):
You also like to prep everything before you start a
meal.
Yeah.
And because you were doing ittogether, there was no, you, you
didn't get your things prepped.
Simon (10:49):
Yeah.
I like how you like'em yeah.
I, I, I start cooking a meallike an hour before cooking the
meal kind of thing, getting pansout and knives out.
Suzanne (10:57):
you do
have your way of cooking.
Simon (11:00):
Yeah,
Suzanne (11:01):
I do.
Which is fine with me.
Yeah.
Simon (11:03):
Yeah.
Suzanne (11:03):
Love your cooking.
Keep
Simon (11:05):
It up.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
So the, uh, so one of the otherromantic gestures, which is a
nice free zero effort gesturewas opening the door for you.
Unfortunately we didn't go outso much, so I didn't get into
great many opportunities to openthe door for you, but
Suzanne (11:22):
We went to dinner.
Simon (11:23):
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, these are thesmall gestures which would need,
need to be repeated.
Yeah.
When you get the opportunity todo them anyway, kind of thing.
So I'm sure I'll have plenty ofopportunities to do
Suzanne (11:33):
That.
We did go to dinner and you didopen the door for me.
Simon (11:35):
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
So wonder I, I had to set myselfa reminder for cuz in, in the
morning my brain doesn'tfunction.
Um, exactly the way I'd like itto um, not until I've had
, I've had people.
Suzanne (11:51):
Yeah.
Most people brains don'tfunction in
Simon (11:54):
The morning.
Um, but the romantic gesture is,or the romantic thing is say, I
love you when you wake up in themorning,
Suzanne (12:00):
Which is, this is, you know, this is, I definitely
realized that you were doingthis because I get up before
you.
Yeah.
So you literally had to comeinto my office and say, I love
you every morning.
So it definitely, I did real.
I was like, what is going on?
But I realized that this wassomething that you were trying
to do.
Yeah.
Um, the easy free mm-hmm somewhat
(12:21):
effortless.
Simon (12:23):
Yeah.
I mean, how did it feel getting,and I love you in the morning
because typically the, I loveyous come the second half of the
day.
Not the beginning of the day,so, well,
Suzanne (12:33):
It's a nice way to start your morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Simon (12:37):
The fourth thing that we did this for this episode is
have dinner and drinks withfriends that are dating or
married.
Um, we had, uh, a great day with, uh, friends, Sarah and Dan.
Uh, yeah.
We had a day at the pool.
We had Bob
Suzanne (12:54):
Yummy.
Simon (12:55):
We had some drinks.
Yep.
Um, it was, uh, it was
Suzanne (12:58):
Bonfire.
Yeah.
So it was all good.
Simon (12:59):
Yeah.
Fire pit.
Yeah.
We had, we had a, a nice, nicelong day.
It was uh, yeah.
Started to and ended aroundmidnight.
Yeah.
So like those days
Suzanne (13:09):
We had a good time.
Simon (13:10):
Yeah, absolutely.
And then the last one.
Yeah.
So
Suzanne (13:16):
ask your, you
can tell how much he loved it.
Simon (13:21):
Ask your partner.
If there's anything you can do,if, sorry, let me start again,
ask your partner.
If there's anything that you dothat annoys them, then do your
best to work on correcting thatproblem.
So apparently I need to work onmy patients.
uh, and I, I will admitthat I can, I do have a little
(13:43):
bit of a short fuse.
I don't like waiting for things.
Suzanne (13:47):
Um, if things don't go perfectly, he, uh, yeah.
Uh, has issues.
Yeah.
So being a little more Zen,having some patience sometimes
okay.
Is not necessarily annoying, butjust something you should do.
Simon (14:03):
Okay.
I'll work on.
I'll work on doing that.
I've I I've been trying over thepast few days, uh, but there's
not big, great opportunities toshow my, my, my newfound Zen,
this
Suzanne (14:15):
Your newfound zens.
Well, just keep working on it.
Cuz that would be awesome.
Simon (14:21):
don't worry.
Uh, I've got this covered.
Suzanne (14:23):
Okay, good.
Simon (14:24):
Yeah.
Uh, I will be more relaxed anduh, I will let things go late
and uh,
Suzanne (14:32):
Be more patient
Simon (14:33):
Be more patient that's.
Right.
Exactly.
Okay.
So what do you think of this?
Week's romantic things.
What, what, what were the, whatwas the hit?
What was the miss?
Suzanne (14:41):
Um, the say I love you in the morning.
That was the hit.
Very nice.
That's the hit.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I guess the flop, justbecause the meal was so gross
and was that meal, we're bothlike, Ugh.
You're like, what do you thinkof this?
And I'm like, it's gross.
Simon (14:56):
made with love.
yeah.
Absolutely
Suzanne (14:59):
Made with love, but it's disgusting.
Simon (15:02):
So yeah, I think people should give some of the romantic
things we've uh, tried this week, uh, a try themselves.
Um, let us know how they go.
Suzanne (15:09):
Yep.
And if you have a chance or wantto download the app from the
apple store, um, and get startedon your romantic things and
don't forget to be romantic.

Um, you shape of water, althoughit must have been shape of water
was more about the director andthe Doug Jones, but
I'm a big, uh, Deltoro fan, but,uh, yeah.
Uh, I, I, I enjoy my romancemovies, but, uh, uh, I, I have
(08:59):
to be in the right frame of mindto watch a romance movie.
Suzanne (09:02):
So those are some of our favorite romantic movies
that,
Simon (09:06):
Yeah.
If you've got some interestingromantic movies that you'd like
to tell us about, you can, uh,send us an email to a romantic
things app@gmail.com.
Um, we'd love to know whatmovies you think.
Uh, we should include in ourlist.
Why don't we get'em with, uh,the romantic things for this
episode, the first one wasmaking dinner together.
(09:26):
Um, we did this over theweekend.
Uh, we had noodles and chicken.
Suzanne (09:31):
Uh, the act of making dinner was great, but the meal
was awful.
Simon (09:36):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Suzanne (09:37):
it was a flop.
Simon (09:42):
Yeah.
It was not good.
Um, yeah.
I was hoping cuz the meal wentso you're right.
The, the actual making of themeal went so well,
Suzanne (09:50):
Sous chefing and
Simon (09:51):
Yeah.
Yeah.
We, we were, we were in sync.
Um, you were chopping everythingI needed and had it ready for me
to go in the pan.
Um, yeah, everything was insync, but when it came to the
actual taste itself, it was
Suzanne (10:05):
Not,
Simon (10:05):
It was a bit bland and good.
Suzanne (10:07):
Yeah.
Not good, but we did make dinnertogether,
Simon (10:09):
But we did, we did make dinner together while it was fun
to do the activity together.
I think I prefer cooking alone.
Suzanne (10:17):
get your rhythm of cooking andthen other person just kind of
gets in the way and you're like,wait, I don't wanna do that
right now.
No, wait.
No.
Simon (10:28):
Well for me it's for, so what are you doing and what am I
doing?
Am I doing this bit?
So it just adds a lot ofquestions rather than just
getting on with it kind ofthing.
So
Suzanne (10:39):
You also like to prep everything before you start a
meal.
Yeah.
And because you were doing ittogether, there was no, you, you
didn't get your things prepped.
Simon (10:49):
Yeah.
I like how you like'em yeah.
I, I, I start cooking a meallike an hour before cooking the
meal kind of thing, getting pansout and knives out.
Suzanne (10:57):
Simon (11:00):
Yeah,
Suzanne (11:01):
I do.
Which is fine with me.
Yeah.
Simon (11:03):
Yeah.
Suzanne (11:03):
Love your cooking.
Keep
Simon (11:05):
It up.
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
So the, uh, so one of the otherromantic gestures, which is a
nice free zero effort gesturewas opening the door for you.
Unfortunately we didn't go outso much, so I didn't get into
great many opportunities to openthe door for you, but
Suzanne (11:22):
We went to dinner.
Simon (11:23):
Yeah.
Um, but yeah, these are thesmall gestures which would need,
need to be repeated.
Yeah.
When you get the opportunity todo them anyway, kind of thing.
So I'm sure I'll have plenty ofopportunities to do
Suzanne (11:33):
That.
We did go to dinner and you didopen the door for me.
Simon (11:35):
Yeah, exactly.
Okay.
So wonder I, I had to set myselfa reminder for cuz in, in the
morning my brain doesn'tfunction.
Um, exactly the way I'd like itto
, I've had people.
Suzanne (11:51):
Yeah.
Most people brains don'tfunction in
Simon (11:54):
The morning.
Um, but the romantic gesture is,or the romantic thing is say, I
love you when you wake up in themorning,
Suzanne (12:00):
Which is, this is, you know, this is, I definitely
realized that you were doingthis because I get up before
you.
Yeah.
So you literally had to comeinto my office and say, I love
you
So it definitely, I did real.
I was like, what is going on?
But I realized that this wassomething that you were trying
to do.
Yeah.
Um, the easy free mm-hmm
(12:21):
effortless.
Simon (12:23):
Yeah.
I mean, how did it feel getting,and I love you in the morning
because typically the, I loveyous come the second half of the
day.
Not the beginning of the day,so, well,
Suzanne (12:33):
It's a nice way to start your morning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Simon (12:37):
The fourth thing that we did this for this episode is
have dinner and drinks withfriends that are dating or
married.
Um, we had, uh, a great day with, uh, friends, Sarah and Dan.
Uh, yeah.
We had a day at the pool.
We had Bob
Suzanne (12:54):
Yummy.
Simon (12:55):
We had some drinks.
Yep.
Um, it was, uh, it was
Suzanne (12:58):
Bonfire.
Yeah.
So it was all good.
Simon (12:59):
Yeah.
Fire pit.
Yeah.
We had, we had a, a nice, nicelong day.
It was uh, yeah.
Started to and ended aroundmidnight.
Yeah.
So like those days
Suzanne (13:09):
We had a good time.
Simon (13:10):
Yeah, absolutely.
And then the last one.
Yeah.
So
Suzanne (13:16):
Simon (13:21):
Ask your partner.
If there's anything you can do,if, sorry, let me start again,
ask your partner.
If there's anything that you dothat annoys them, then do your
best to work on correcting thatproblem.
So apparently I need to work onmy patients.
(13:43):
bit of a short fuse.
I don't like waiting for things.
Suzanne (13:47):
Um, if things don't go perfectly, he, uh, yeah.
Uh, has issues.
Yeah.
So being a little more Zen,having some patience sometimes
okay.
Is not necessarily annoying, butjust something you should do.
Simon (14:03):
Okay.
I'll work on.
I'll work on doing that.
I've I I've been trying over thepast few days, uh, but there's
not big, great opportunities toshow my, my, my newfound Zen,
this
Suzanne (14:15):
Your newfound zens.
Well, just keep working on it.
Cuz that would be awesome.
Simon (14:21):
Uh, I've got this covered.
Suzanne (14:23):
Okay, good.
Simon (14:24):
Yeah.
Uh, I will be more relaxed anduh, I will let things go late
and
Suzanne (14:32):
Be more patient
Simon (14:33):
Be more patient that's.
Right.
Exactly.
Okay.
So what do you think of this?
Week's romantic things.
What, what, what were the, whatwas the hit?
What was the miss?
Suzanne (14:41):
Um, the say I love you in the morning.
That was the hit.
Very nice.
That's the hit.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I guess the flop, justbecause the meal was so gross
and was that meal, we're bothlike, Ugh.
You're like, what do you thinkof this?
And I'm like, it's gross.
Simon (14:56):
Absolutely
Suzanne (14:59):
Made with love, but it's disgusting.
Simon (15:02):
So yeah, I think people should give some of the romantic
things we've uh, tried this week, uh, a try themselves.
Um, let us know how they go.
Suzanne (15:09):
Yep.
And if you have a chance or wantto download the app from the
