Yeah, I think so too, and you're looking forward to
the next stage.
I feel like so it's like youget to party a little bit at
this stage with that DJ and thatrave.

That's not sold anywhere.
They make it specifically forthat race.

Speaker 2 (03:46):

to push it back a little bitbecause we got a lot of stuff
going on well.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
On top of that, your birthday's in february too yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
So if I wanted to go, I kind of already had to have

little bit, it's okay I know I'mgoing to disney again this year
.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Um, I'm going to see post malone again yes, I'm
excited for that.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, yeah, why wouldn't you be um?

Speaker 1 (04:31):
stand-up comedians.
I want to see a lot morestand-up this year.
Like ralph albosa is one of myfavorites.
Um burke kreischer would bepretty cool, but I think he's
like on a break right now I wantto get into more local stuff, I
think like I feel like there'sa lot of big things that I did
like in the past years.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
I want to give more of my attention to like the
upcoming artists and theupcoming comedians.
I think that would be reallycool for me to do this year, so
I think I will look into that alittle bit more and I know last
time we came on here we talkedabout your side business with
aending and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, you plan on doing big events this year with
that, because I know we talkedabout you expanding your ideas.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, I want to do.
You know what the problem is.
I want to make a lot of moneyand work very, very little.
That's just what I want to do.
So I've been looking into otherdifferent things to rent things
out be a part of stuff.
So I've been looking into otherdifferent things to rent things
out be a part of stuff.
Well, I planned, my friend'sbaby shower last year and that
went over so well.

Speaker 1 (05:32):
I remember that you were using a company property to
make the invitations and stuff.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
What's theirs is mine .
What's mine is theirs.
They own me at this pointanyway.
So what's a couple coloredcopies?
It's fine, there was this girlI knew who.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Um, she started a side business like that too.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
She rented those inflatable jump houses yeah,
that's a that's a money makerand they're like she's not that
expensive, like by the time yourent those out you've already if
you rent those out four timesin that year you've already paid
for it, so that's she's okay,she has like 30.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
She has like those inflatable obstacle courses, not
two and everything.
Those water slides.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
My friend went in on the rest of with some of her
friends and they bought ainflatable water volleyball and
it's just huge.
It's huge, though, and theylike never rent it out because
it's massive.
But I mean it's still a coolconcept, and it was like I think
it was seven of them or eightof them or something, so they
all didn't really pay that muchmoney for it, and they all like

(06:28):
share the proceeds when theylike rent it out.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Fuck yeah, that's awesome.
Let's get back into the episode.
We're going over two movies,but before we get into that,
we're going to bring back asegment I haven't done in a
while, called Hollywood Updates,where we're going to uh.
So let's start off the first one.
David litch is in talks todirect oceans 14, the movie.

(06:51):
This movie is in very earlydevelopment.
Screenwriters and cast hasn'tbeen officially announced yet,
but george clooney is already onhis producer.
If you don't know who daviddavid litch is, he's known for
like movies like bullet train,fall guy, deadpool 2, atomic
blonde and violent night.
So this guy is very in depthwith like violent movies or like
action movies, let's just sayso.

(07:11):
I think it's pretty cool, likeit's.
Oceans 11 is like more of aheist kind of movie.
Yeah, I think you pull it off.
Are you a big fan of the oceanmovie?

Speaker 2 (07:17):
honestly, action movies this is gonna sound.
I'm gonna sound like such ababy.
Action movies kind of freak meout.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
Because if I watch them in theater I feel like I'm
in the movie and I start gettingcrazy anxiety.
I know it sounds insane.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Do you watch like 3D or something?

Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, It'll be regular Ray, totally regular Ray, and
I'll be sitting there and I'llbe like oh my gosh, I am in this
plane that's getting hijackedright now.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
I felt like that at a Top Gun Maverick.
That was a sick one to see inIMAX.

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I feel like that in everything.
That's why I stick to likehappy, fun movies.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
But are you a fan of the Ocean's Eleven?
I've never seen it.
No, Surprise.
That's okay.
They're pretty cool.
They're like Brad Pitt, georgeClooney I love George Clooney.
They made an all-female castOcean's 17th thing like that a
couple years ago.
The 2025 Oscars nominationshave been announced.

(08:12):
The 97th award will air onSunday, march 2nd.
It's going to be hosted by talkshow and podcast host, conan
O'Brien.
I fucking love Conan O'Brien.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
I feel like Conan O''brien is very like 90s 90s
yeah, wasn't he like big in the90s?
That's when he first likestarted like his talk show host,
but no, he's huge.
I feel like if I could punchanyone in the face, it'd be
conan.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
I hate that you just said that no, it'd be Conan
O'Brien.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
I hate that you just said that no, it'd be that Ben
Stiller, ben Stiller, a hundredpercent.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
Oh my God, he's one of my favorite humans.
He's just a worm guy.

Speaker 2 (08:49):
He's just a worm guy.
You know what does that evenmean?
Exactly Worm guy.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
Oh my gosh.
Conan O'Brien's great.
I love his stand-up comedy.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
He's very ginger.
Yeah, he's like the mostred-headed person you would ever
meet in your life.
Have you seen the movie?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
sugar and spice?

Speaker 2 (09:12):
I don't think so it's about these cheerleaders that
rob a bank, and one of the girlsis obsessed with conan o'brien
oh, I'm that girl and that'syou're that girl, hey girl yeah
uh, but like one of that bitchone one of the um scenes in the
movie is she's like trying tosummon conan o'brien's love, and

(09:34):
she's like conan o'brien, conano'brien and conan o'brien yeah,
and she's trying to likemanifest like him falling in
love with her, and so when yousay conan o'brian, that's all I
think about he's funny and Ithink he's hosted uh big award
shows like this before and Ithink he's gonna do a great job.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
There was a very sad story about it that came out.
Like this past december, likehis, his early december, his
mother passed away okay, mother,father, but then, like a few
days later, his other parentpassed away.
So back to back, days later,within a few days of each other,
back to back, and the top ofthose, around the holiday time
too, and all that.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
That actually kind of sucks.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Sorry, conan yeah, yeah, now how you feel I love
you, just kidding uh, this mightyou like horror movies.
Gremlin's three is in the worksafter 35 years.
Filmmaker chris columbus hasquoted that he's one of the work
.
He's been working on the scriptsince 2020, and then he's still
like to use puppets instead ofcgi to be more like the
originals oh, I love that idea.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
I love being like the idea of keeping it like classic
rather than just like alteringit to be like everything else I
did uh first grandma's on thispodcast.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
You know it was greg.
With our friend greg he pickedthat movie, and, um, that was
one of the biggest sellingpoints for me that they use real
practical effects.
Yeah and uh.
Do you think it's gonna work intoday's world though?

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I think for the nostalgia.
Yes, I think there's peoplethat are still gonna want that.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
But do you think it's gonna look?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
good also, you've seen beetlejuice too, or the new
beetlejuice I have how do youfeel that felt like I loved that
, though I did I did like it.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
It was good I think they're very good job about like
, um, keeping the same style asthe original.
Yeah and I'm kind of hopingit's gonna be this one.
I didn't even see the secondone.
I didn't know there was asecond one.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
Honestly, I knew there was a second one, but I
think I watched that like inpassing.
Like most of the things that Iwatch, it's usually when I'm
doing something else.
And so I was probably foldinglaundry or cleaning my house and
I was probably in thebackground or something.
Because I only remember bitsand pieces of it, I think.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Do you think you would go to the theaters to see
the Gremlins 3?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
I definitely will 100%.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
Ryan Gosling is in the talks to star in Sean Levy's
new Star Wars film.
If you don't know who sean levyis, he's known for directing
movies like deadpool andwolverine, the night at the
museum franchise free guycheaper by the dozen, big fat,
liar and real steel.
This guy is one of my favoritedirectors, not not so much for
like the deadpool wolverine,obviously, but like he's like
the adam project, I felt thatwas one of my favorite movies of

(11:58):
that year.
That came out, uh, cheaper bythe dozen, like that was so
nostalgic.
That's it not at the museum.
I didn't even know it was him Idid like.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Well, you know I don't like night at the museum,
for obvious reasons.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Ben, whatever his name is oh, I was like why?
Because you're like, you thinkthat shit's real I'm terrified
of museums.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
No, uh, cheaper by the dozen.
I loved that as a kid.
I watched that like back toback, that and holes.
Don't talk to my family aboutit.
They'll literally go on foreverabout it, about how I was
obsessed with both those movies.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
It's embarrassing cheaper by the dozen and holes.
Yeah, you know they're.

Speaker 2 (12:28):
I think I mentioned the holes actually the last time
we talked, which makes it evenmore embarrassing you know?

Speaker 1 (12:33):
uh, they're redoing holes as a tv disney plus series
oh my gosh yeah, I don't knowwho's like in talks a star in it
.
That's gonna be my whole lifebut I mean it's gonna get like
it was, like um shia labeouf wasso iconic in that movie yeah,
very true yeah, uh, but ryanglasson being a star wars film,
you're not a star wars person,are you?
During the pandemic I tried, Itried, I did try to.

Speaker 2 (12:57):
I don't know if I watched them in the order I was
supposed to, because somebody'slike no, you have to watch them
like this, and the other personwas like no, you need to watch
them like this.
So that way it's stillsurprising for you and I just
got overwhelmed.
So then I was like you knowwhat?
I'm not gonna watch them at allI, I'm, I'm kind of with you
it's too overwhelming.

Speaker 1 (13:13):
It's like if I tried getting the marvel movies right
now yeah it's work, it's reallyand especially there's so like I
don't have I have commitmentissues when it comes to series
and stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
But with relationships.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
But I feel like Star Wars is so popular, like they're
well known, that I already knowthe plots and everything, so I
don't really get interested inthere.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And I'm always that girl that's like if this is cool
, it's instantly not cool to me,Like that's just how I am, so
if everybody likes it, I'malready just like you.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Like you like star which is probably why you like
baby mama so much I loved babymama.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
Please.
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
I can't wait to talk about it I wanted to get your
opinion about this.
Like, um, it ends with uslawsuits blake lively.
Uh, have you been keeping upwith that?

Speaker 2 (13:56):
no her and her co-star I've heard a lot of
stuff about it, though so shesold her.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
She I can't talk.
She's suing her co-star forsexual harassment on set and
stuff like that I thought ithonestly making like not crazy
allegations but like justallegations of itself, which is
enough for america to turn onthis guy.
But this guy is coming backwith receipts saying like no,
you were the fucking bitch.
And he's countersuing her forthe defamation because because

(14:23):
of her allegations he gotfucking bitch.
And he's countersuing her fordefamation because of her
allegations he got fired fromhis agency.
His company is taking a hugehit and you know he's kind of
unhirable right now.
But he's coming back withreceipts and making her look bad
.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Because I've seen now not that TikTok is the most
reliable source, but I've seenlike videos of her kind of like
directing him in some of theirmore intimate scenes yeah and
like forcing, like, oh, like youknow, you should do this, you
should do that, you should dothis like kind of forcing that
kind of intimacy onto her whilethey're filming and there's,

(14:57):
like you know, video of it right, and that's what's confusing to
me.
It's like how can?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
he's also like flip-floppy to me, dragging ryan
reynolds name down there too.
He's suing him as well because,like, supposedly, he had a huge
hand in writing some of thesescenes too, and all that and
he's well one.
He's messy.
It's a huge lawsuit.
I mean, I trust me as a moviefan, like I'm loving the tea
going on right now oh yeah, um,and but it's just a question

(15:25):
like people are like you're justtaking the guy's side because
he's, you know, you're a guy, orlike guys, can't be victims
either.
You know, there's a whole bigthing going on with that.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Just like that johnny depp case exactly with the
amber, the amber herd orwhatever.
Is that her name?
I don't even know, soirrelevant but anyway that if
that's her name, um like, andit's the same concept.
It's just like people areshitty and they're not always
girls or they're not always men.
It's crazy to me.
I followed that for a while,that whole Amber Heard thing.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
I don't even know when that court case is going to
start, but I'm looking forwardto that court case and I'm
looking forward to the Diddycase.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
Oh P Diddy.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
How, like these conspiracy theories that we
heard the other day, like, or Itold you about the other day,
like where these la fires weresupposed to be started by diddy?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
yeah, he's just in the, he's just in the field,
he's just like lighting stuff on, not him, but like he's in jail
, he's been sitting in jail ohyeah, I forgot about that yeah,
but I mean that's pretty wild tothink about.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Uh, next update chris brown sues warner brothers for
500 million dollars over thechris brown a history of
violence docu-series.
Have you seen that docu-series?
No, but I love chris I lovechris brown too, I hate to say
rightfully so he's suing thembecause I mean, it is his past

(16:44):
and and it sucks what happensand it is important to address
it.
But it seemed kind of random.
It seemed like you were justpicking a topic that you know is
going to get views.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
Are you going to watch that series at all?

Speaker 2 (17:00):
I would definitely watch it.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
It's out right now 100%.
I would watch it that, andBecause you're a big documentary
person I love documentariesyou've seen the jerry springer
one, yet no, but that's on mylist.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
It's on my um watch later okay, chris, okay, I, uh
he.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
We have a co-worker who's obsessed with her and
she's called us today, like tomake sure we watch the new chris
brown music video oh, shedidn't call me.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
Maybe that's why I had that missed call from her.
Maybe.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
That's probably why Maybe, but I like Chris Brown's
music.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
I love Chris Brown.
I think he's just very talented.
He's just very talented overall.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
But it makes you wonder where a career would be
at if that incident didn'thappen.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Yeah.
I think it would be way more inthe movies and it's hard,
because I do very much stand upfor abuse, but I also think that
there's other things that areinvolved.
There's alcohol, there's drugsand obviously in Hollywood, of
course, those things are presentand I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
In my opinion.

Speaker 2 (18:02):
I feel like if Rihanna can kind of move past it
and not really mention it andkind of be over it, then I feel
like, yeah, didn't they collabon songs after that too?
I just feel like if, if theperson that took the abuse could
be over it, then why are westill talking about?

Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, I remember, I remember those images first got
released I know they're burnedin my brain and I hate it.
He fucked her up.

Speaker 2 (18:18):
I literally hate it.
What the fuck, chris, come on,yeah, but I wish I wish his uh
career.
You know he could have a bigcareer I wonder if his music
would be any different.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
Turn this around, honestly, he should well, he's
gonna get 500 million dollarsexactly would you.
You know his concerts are wellone.
They're expensive.
But he has that meetup thing.
You pay a thousand dollars totake pictures oh yeah, with like
people's girlfriends yeah, andvarious.
He's open to most poses too,like if you want grinding on him

(18:50):
, they'll do it hell yeah andthe guy the boyfriend's always
just standing on the side likepissed, pissed as hell yeah,
yeah, chris brown and my girljust macking over here would you
pay a thousand dollars to meetchris brown like that?
I'd pay two shush I don't knowif I would, maybe three no, I'm
just kidding not three maybethree is excessive.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Two, two and a half game 2800 yeah yeah 29 all right
, fine.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I'd like to see funny poses, like when they do prom
poses.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Oh my god oh yeah, like those old, like hollywood
shots.
Do you know how these shots?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
is I don't know if they had that out here I kind of
thought they would have thatfor chris brown, though, like
it's like a 30 second photoshoot whatever, uh the last
update I got for you.
National popcorn day was justlast week, which means cinemark
was doing like bring your ownpopcorn bucket, we'll fill it up
a trash can I people done that.
I've seen all kinds of thingsthat they're like a um home

(19:42):
depot, like fiveon bucketkitchen, where people bring
ginormous cookingware Trafficcones.
I've seen Someone cut abasketball in half when it was
using that.
Someone used their Xbox boxlike the box it came in.
It's a fun way to get people inthe seats, I think.

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Yeah, and you know what?
It reminds me of that 7-Eleventhing with the Slurpee.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Very similar.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Did you do that?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
No, but I one 7-Eleven is far.
Where's their 7-Eleven Griffith?

Speaker 1 (20:12):
I guess Griffith is the closest one I know of.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, I'm definitely not going to Griffith, for I
don't even care if it was thebiggest slushie.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Jeez Slurpee, I'm not doing that that's all I got for
Hollywood updates, so now let'sgo into the first movie, babes,
like I said, this movie cameout in 2024.
I wanted to see this intheaters but it was very
selected theaters and the onlytime to go see it is if you go
to Chicago.
I think Michigan City is knownfor showing smaller movies like
this, but I also heard MichiganCity's movie theater sucks.

Speaker 2 (20:45):
I've heard that too, arec person or you like the
portage.
Imagine, um, I've been to theportage like once.
Um, I really like so amc is outhere.
There's a lot of cinemark.
That's in illinois where myfamily's at.
So whenever we go to the movietheaters it's always cinemark,
cinemark is good too, and I dolike cinemark a lot.
I don't mind AMC, I just feellike AMC is like great value, I

(21:06):
think.

Speaker 1 (21:07):
Dollar.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
General.
You know, that's what I feellike, Dollar General, so but
it's not bad.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
Cinemark is more like Target.

Speaker 2 (21:13):
Cinemark is elite and AMC is like its jealous younger
brother or something.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
This movie is Babe, before I get into it.
This movie's about lifelongfriends, eden and dawn, one
single when one and wanting ababy and the other one already a
mother, navigate challenges totheir bond when eden pursues
pregnancy alone after aone-night stand.
This movie was directed bypamela pamela alden and written
by ilana Glazer.

(21:44):
Sorry, written by Ilana Glazerand Josh.
I don't even want to try topronounce this oh god, yeah, so
give it to me.

Speaker 2 (21:51):
That's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Josh, we'll go with that.
Robin Witts Robinowitz.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
Robinowitz, this is your first time watching this
movie.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I've seen this, like maybe once before.
I told you to watch this.
What's your is your first timewatching this movie?
Well, I've seen this, likemaybe once before.
I told you to watch this.
What's your first impression?
So you like this movie honestly, I loved it.
I thought it was after watchingyour movie I was like, yeah,
she's gonna love this yeah, no,I definitely did.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
I liked it a lot.
It kind of reminded me,honestly, it reminded me of baby
mama and, like meets,bridesmaids and well, producers
made bridesmaids, I was gonna.
I was thinking that I was likethis is very similar and it had
a very like as life goes on kindof theme like it was it?
Yes, there was a plot andeverything, but it was just like

(22:37):
oh, then this happens and thishappens, it was.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
It was very enjoyable so movies like this and baby
mama and several other movies wecan list online, I refer to
these as algorithm algorithmmovies.
Okay, they follow a simplealgorithm.
You know it's like havingpredictable plot lines, having
popular songs pocket, pocketlines in the movie that makes
like, oh, this is kind ofrelatable and semi-relatable

(23:00):
relationships between you andyour friends.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
That you know a hundred percent that's.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
These are comfort movies.
You know these are movies.
This is a perfect movie if youwant to come home after a long
day of work.
You got to do the dishes andmake that.
Pop it on in the background.
Yeah, it's easy plot to follow.
You already know what's goingto happen at the end.
It's.
It's a fun watch.
I'm not shitting on it it's.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
It's good.
I loved it.
I really did.
I wasn't, I'll be honest withyou.
I was not expecting to like itas much as I did.
I watched it, I think, threetimes in the span of two weeks
just because, oh, I want to makesure I know this really well so
I can talk about it.
It was just like the first time.
Yeah, I was doing my nails whenI watched it the first time so
it was like here and there, butthe second time I was like
really into it.

(23:36):
I was like this is actuallyreally good.
And then I watched it a thirdtime also, just to kind of make
sure I got everything, and itwas very enjoyable.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
It's very well, I mean it's starting and it's
relatable, like you said,especially for myself like we're
gonna talk about that for real.
But ilana, glazer and michelleit's another bad name ilan
michelle beauty, but too I don'tknow that new, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (24:01):
I looked her up earlier because she reminded me
of that other girl frombridesmaids um melissa mccarthy
no maya rob maya rudolph.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Yeah, yeah, I could see that.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now you say that and I don't know if it's just
because they have similar skintone with freckles, but no
definitely similar humor.
Yes, yeah, and deliverance inlike their performance, but
these two, like, have beenfriends for over 20 years.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
They said so, which explains their chemistry
together in this movie.
They're so funny and I you knowI could see some of the
characters in youtube, so Iguess you gotta relate to the
bull.
Uh, people might know ilana oryeah, ilana glazer, from broad
city, rough night, the nightmore the night before, and party
city michelle has been knownfor always be my, maybe marry me
, and survival of the thickest.
I don't know what that's about,but it sounds like a hilarious

(24:43):
title yeah, big booty bitches,that's what it sounds like big
booty bitches big booty bitchesthis movie was great.
We're gonna go around some of myfavorite plot lines in the
movie, but overall it was great.
It was easy to follow.
Um, I usually say this at theend, like I'm already giving
this like a 9 out of 10 I wouldgive it a 9 out of 10.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Yeah, I probably would, I mean there's.
There's some stuff that I woulddefinitely change, but like
overall, like it's not meant tobe serious, it's supposed to
make you laugh yeah, there was afew things like the whole like
kid with the 666 stuff, I like Ithought it was hilarious, but
also I was just like oh, what isthis?

Speaker 1 (25:26):
but?

Speaker 2 (25:27):
it was funny, but let's go down.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
I'm gonna list some of my favorite things about this
movie.
We'll just talk about it.
Uh, the movie opens up with auh have thanksgiving tradition.
They go to the movies everythanksgiving together, which I
love that I've started thattradition with our friend
fernando.
We go to christmas and moviesum your boyfriend.
Yeah, just kidding um, but Ilove that, but it opens up so

(25:49):
funny.
This is like the michelle's.
I don't want to call her by herreal name, dawn this is dawn's
second.
She's pregnant with her secondkid there and she gives birth
like not in public, but she goesin a labor in public in a very
hilarious way, almost in denial,like where she was like this
seat's fucking wet and she'slike let's move seats.

(26:10):
She moves seats three times,like all these seats are fucking
wet.

Speaker 2 (26:13):
This theater is gross .

Speaker 1 (26:15):
It's like, oh shit, my water broke.
And then she's like, instead ofgoing to the hospital, they go
out to eat.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
I mean sometimes.
I mean sometimes because that'strue.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
They don't let you eat, and so then you're starving
and you're like in pain, you'resitting there last hour.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Sometimes, yeah, and all you want is a cheeseburger,
and they won't even let you havethat you can have ice chips.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
That's about it, you can speak well to this, because
you, because you have to have achild, child I do, and so I got
an old baby, a little baby, alittle baby.
She's cool.
I've met her before you know.
You talk about her all the timeat work.

Speaker 2 (26:45):
She's in a tech talk too yeah, I'm like obsessed with
her right now also too.
She's cool.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
She's at a great age so I mean, did you have like
flashbacks there?

Speaker 2 (26:52):
and this is watching this movie 100 and like it's
weird, so like I had my daughterwhen I was super, super young
and so like I didn't know well,I didn't know what the fuck I
was doing, but that's anybodythat has a baby.
Nobody knows what the fuckthey're doing.
It was weird because when itwas like for me, my first, it
was a lot of stress, a lot ofanxiety.

(27:13):
Everybody's told me that thatgoes away, usually with your
second Watching it being like,oh yeah, with my first one it
was like this we have time, theygo to get lunch and she's
ordering more pudding orwhatever, and like you just
think you have so much timebecause you just don't know
what's going to happen.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:31):
Yeah.
So it was definitely likerelatable and I was, and but
also it was much more realisticthan some of the other movies
that I've watched, like the factthat she was like crawling on
the floor.
I some of the other movies thatI've watched, like the fact
that she was like crawling onthe floor.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I was like, yep, I've been there like you know just a
lot of it.
So, yeah, I mean it's.
I mean I kind of related moreto eden's part in this one
because, like I have bestfriends who have kids and I was
there and you not that you feelleft out.
You want to be involved as muchas possible and then just don't
without overbearing.
So I mean, yeah, of course Irelate to that character as well
too.
Um, he didn't her first thing.
She's a good friend.
She's like now that you're notpregnant anymore, you can do all

(28:09):
those things like let's go eatsushi.

Speaker 2 (28:11):
She ends up buying like over 200 bucks worth of
sushi I was like oh my gosh, howmuch sushi did you actually buy
?
Like three full bags worth andmaybe I just get cheap sushi.
I don't know, my sushi is.
Sushi is like I don't know 12bucks a roll, and it makes me
wonder how many rolls you got.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
So she ends up, like you know, not being able to stay
because she's not reallylegally family, so she ends up
taking the train ride home.
This is probably the most Idon't know.
I don't want to say unrealistic, but, like most fantasy part of
the whole movie, yes, where youmeet this significant other,
that she met a guy on the trainand you?

Speaker 2 (28:45):
could you just so happen to connect so well with
him from one stranger on thetrain, yeah, from the get-go.

Speaker 1 (28:50):
I mean they had great connection, they had great
humor together.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
It was that for her.
Yeah, it must be nice, right,you know?

Speaker 1 (28:57):
but it was, that was nice to see.
You know, that's the fantasypart of it.
Like, oh man, like I wish I'mgonna start taking the train now
, you know yeah, and they end upnot a bad idea and this.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
This does help that this guy was a handsome guy you
thought he was handsome youdon't like it because he was
black no, first off, I very muchenjoy dark men.
Okay, but um no, I I didn'tthink he was ugly.
I don't even know what eden was.
Is she mixed too I?

(29:28):
Know, michelle was black no,she was not mixed, because
remember in the movie she's liketell me about a black, tell me
about being a black mom.
And she said well, you're not ablack mom you're a mom to a
half black baby.
Yeah, that's right do you haveany advice for being a black mom
?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
and she's like you're not just a little jabs like
that made this movie so muchfunnier too yes, yeah, but
they're real, like, just veryreal, like how you would
normally joke with your friendexactly, and one of my hot takes
about movies um, I'm not a bigfan of sex scenes in movies
because sometimes you'rewatching them.

(30:04):
No, I'm just kidding but likesometimes you watch them, like
why am I watching a grind onthis person for like a good?

Speaker 2 (30:10):
seven, eight minutes.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
I just feel like it's kind of cringy, like I'm just
kind of like yeah, because youmight be watching with your kid
or your parents or somethinglike that.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
You know yeah.
Or sometimes, like yourboyfriend or your girlfriend is
just like hey should we do whatthey're doing?
So, it just gets kind of yeah,it's just.

Speaker 1 (30:27):
But I love the way they did in this movie.
They didn't really showanything inappropriate, but like
it's like a montage of themgiggling with each other, you
know, feel like you know, justexploring each other.
It was done tastefully.
I like this a lot and it was sosimple.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
It was a little hard.
So I don't understand hookupculture at all, like I don't.
I don't get it.
So it was interesting likewatching it, because I don't do
hookup culture, so like I couldnever imagine bringing someone
back to my apartment and beinglike do you want to have sex?
Because I kind of want to havesex, like that just is so weird
to me, yes, and it was like aconversation.

(31:02):
She's like well, I'm on myperiod and he's just I would.
He's a stranger.
I would never be telling astranger that, and then being
like hey, do you want to see menaked?
Because I want to see you nakedhey stranger.
I definitely want to see younaked.

Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's just weird before that to me.
They on the train.
They're like I never got camein before and she's like I never
came to no one either.

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, how do you have that?
Conversation like they shouldhave been like drunk or
something, just to make it justnot.
So how are you having thisconversation, sober?

Speaker 1 (31:27):
so her thing was like , not because they were open
about getting tested a lot, butum, her thing was like she
didn't want to get pregnant.
But like, oh, it's cool, I'm onmy period, I can't get pregnant
but also stds was that too.
But I was like, okay, thatdoesn't mean he still can't wear
a condom.
Then I mean like I mean, Iunderstand that I have a latex

(31:48):
allergy, so I'm never I'm neverdoing that, unless like
sheepskin or something weird,but I'm never doing that and I
hate to say it's almost like aone-night stand because it did
show very well connection to andthat's what kind of bum.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
I wish they would have showed her a little bit
more bummed out about it,because I'm proud of.
The reason why I don't doone-night stands or hookup
culture is because I literallyfall in love with somebody like
instantly.
So I wish that that kind of hadlike that kind of effect on her
a little bit more like you hadthis great connection before you

(32:20):
even had sex with them.
And then you had sex with themand then you're like, oh wow,
this was great, and you let thisstranger come in you and you're
gonna tell me that you're notlike you know.
So I wish they would have hadit a little bit more.
I wish they would have made hera little bit more crazy, to
where she's like.
Oh my gosh, I'm like she wassad, don't get me wrong.

(32:40):
But, I wanted the heartbreak,you know, and I think it would
have been cool to show a littlebit of like after she had the
baby and like the struggle withthat a little bit.
That kind of would have been alittle cool.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
But yeah, just a little bit of time jump there,
but then you deal with what mostpeople are afraid of getting
ghosted.
Yeah, we'll talk about whyshould.
Literally, you're the ghosteryeah, I'll literally stop I'll
make plans.
Oh, it sucks.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
I mean that's plans what we're doing when you're
picking me up and then, hey,you're still good in three
minutes.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
No, You're still good in three minutes.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Hey, can I pick you up?
Hey, am I still picking you upin an hour Silence.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Oh, my goodness, I hate that.
That was the most relatablepart for me.
I think it was like gettingghosted and like it's so
relatable because, like you'reconstantly checking your phone.

Speaker 2 (33:39):
You're thinking about them a lot anytime it goes off,
I guess.
I mean not when I got ghosted,but like when me and the person
I would be seeing or talking toif we would stop talking and I
knew that it like was on goodterms, yeah, so like in my
opinion that is, it's justdifferent, like when it happens
on the other side.
So like there'd be times whereI'd be talking to like a guy and
I'd get really excited about itand then if we mutually stopped

(34:01):
talking, then I would bechecking my phone like you know,
like so if, if I ever heardlike a ding or anything like
that, I'd be like well, maybethat's him, because usually most
of the time I've been thereyeah, but I mean as far as like
ghosting wise like I, I'm a big.
If you don't want to talk to me, trust me, there's other people
that will, so I'm good uh, thatmust be nice.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Everybody's got that.
This guy ghosted her for a goodreason yeah, he did, he died.
He died like the next daychoking on an almond the first
giving, yeah, I did get like I100, thought like they were
lying for this guy.

Speaker 2 (34:39):
He's not dead I thought so too, and I really
thought it was going to be likean ongoing thing where he would
pop up later on yeah, but he'slike oh no, I just didn't want
to come into work.
So I told him I, like you know,I just didn't show up and they
thought I died, or somethinglike that, and they kind of like
brush past that fact a littlebit.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Like I would like to see her getting confirmation
like she didn't meet his familya little bit, or a little family
that he had.
I would like to see that like.
So I can believe it as anaudience member too.
You know, um, you know, butthis is where her best friend
really stepped out to the placelike I gotta be there with these
pregnancy.
I thought this movie was gonnabe more about her decision to

(35:14):
keep the baby or not.
Yeah, that's literally onescene.

Speaker 2 (35:19):
She just kind of jumped in.
She was like well, I am, it's atough call.
I'm a mommy, I'm gonna be amama, I'm like oh, mamacita, oh,
no, that's too much, that's toomuch.
So I just thought that part wasreally funny yeah, yeah it's.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
But her friend was kind of disappointed when she
heard she was gonna keep thebaby.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
It was like bitch, you're not ready to raise a kid
by yourself yeah, and I thinkthat just came from a point of
knowing, like just uh well, justknowing her friend too, because
her friends and she kind ofyeah, she kind of seemed like a
oddball kind of you know, andnobody wants to raise it.
Nobody wants to sign up toraise a kid by themselves, trust
me.

Speaker 1 (35:56):
So they do little things.
They go to the doctor'sappointments like that.
The doctor had a for no reasonat all.
He had the funniest scenes withhis hair.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I loved the doctor.
I loved the doctor.
He's like, yeah, just ignorethe hair.
I don't know what it's doing.

Speaker 1 (36:09):
No, one's even talking about your hair.
It's a cool moment where thenext time you see him bald and
he has a weird shaped head andhe has a Kangol hat at one point
.

Speaker 2 (36:15):
Yes, or you know what ?
I loved the fact when she waslike, I decided to theme my
delivery.
It's going to be prom.
I was like yes, girl, Love thatfor you.

Speaker 1 (36:28):
If you could pick a theme for your year of pregnancy
, what would it be?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Probably like tie-dye .

Speaker 1 (36:33):
Tie-dye.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah, it'd be all tie-dye, Tie-dye.
Yeah, it'd be all tie-dye theme.
We'd all have like flowercrowns and we'd all just like
sit on the floor and tie-dye allday.

Speaker 1 (36:41):
Would you ever do a home birth?
Hell, no, it seems scary, rightOne.

Speaker 2 (36:45):
I'm deathly afraid of death while giving birth.
That's a huge fear of mine.
That's probably why I don'thave more kids, because I have
anxiety yeah, but actually notright now.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Was your first one, pretty smooth yeah.
You're not a person to say it.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
No, my first pregnancy like my pregnancy was
so easy.
I was never sick.
The only thing I didn't eatmeat for a long time because it
grossed me out, until, like mylast trimester and then like the
last month.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
These people who like are just being in style the
same way.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, these people who are just being installed the
same way.
Yeah, I mean I guess so, but itmade me sick the thought of
cutting into a chicken breast.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
I was like gross.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
Until I got to eight months, and then all I wanted
was McDonald's chicken nuggets.
That's all I ate my momliterally got me a $50 gift card
just so.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I could buy.
I don't even think that's realmeat either.
It's not.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
So then it was fine.
But no, it was pretty easy, itwas, and it wasn't as long Like
a lot of people go really far,like 36 hours 40 hours, 42 hours
.
Mine was 22 hours.
I only pushed for like an hourbut my epidural didn't work.
They were like, hey, you havelike a pinched nerve or
something when you sit.

(37:51):
So I was.
I paid thousands of dollars forthe epidural and then it didn't
even work and I still had topay for it.
And I was like, can I returnthis?
Like it didn't even work.
Yeah, that's pretty funny, thisbunk epidural.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
That's how CEOs get shot.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
Exactly.
But I like one of the things Ilike about this movie it bounces
back between the friends alittle bit too around her for
the pregnancy but also tells thefriend side too, like about how
she's a a new mom to two babies.
Now she struggles with the ideagoing back to work not the idea
, but like she struggles goingto work because one of the
biggest things like she doesn'thave a nanny anymore because her
nanny quit on them yeah,because of her demon child and

(38:26):
we'll talk about that like thereason that we bring a demon
child, like even like volunteers, to babysit them once I know, I
love that she was like you know, like just between us
because I don't know like, well,yeah, you don't have this
experience yet, but like, theoldest child gets jealous of the
second child and so he'sperforming backs like I'm the
baby.
So he's wearing diapers andpretending to be a baby the

(38:46):
whole time.
Yeah, so he's like you knowwhat, trying to help her friend
to make him grow up a little bit.
Like you know, if you're a bigboy, you watch this r-rated
movie with me four years old andnot only any r-rated movie.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
It was the exorcist right the omen, the omen and um
she what he watches it.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
And then they got a new babysitter.
She walks in the bedroom.
He's like six, six, six,everywhere upset on crosses.
He's speaking in tongues.
This kid's fucking four yearsold.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Like how impressionable is he so funny?

Speaker 1 (39:17):
and then now you don't gotta deal with that.
And then I like her.
What's her name?
Um dawn, when she goes back towork, she's a dentist.
They gave her a cake that, inthe shape of that, looks like
her face.
Oh my god, that looks horrible.
But I like that.
Like they touched on this topictoo, because, like it's not
well, her husband was so likenice too.
Like I'm going back to worktomorrow you're gonna go back to
work, go out with your friend,enjoy yourself.

(39:38):
You know, that was very sweet.
And that was the night they didactually see in ecstasy and, uh
, found out she was pregnant.
Um, I think it was mushrooms,mushrooms, yeah, yeah, you're
right, sorry, mushrooms.
There's also other funny scenes, like when she was pregnant,
she's full-on pregnant, eden'spregnant, and they do that photo
shoot in her backyard yeah,he's like why is she wearing a
mosquito net?
it's like it's the vision it'strying to look like beyonce her

(39:59):
pregnancy photos out there,beyonce, beyonce um how about
the scene where you know they'regetting frustrated.
They're just drawing things outof the front?

Speaker 2 (40:10):
I mean, that looks fun as fuck oh yeah, and I think
that you know there's likethose rage rooms yeah, yeah,
I've always wanted to go to themI would be there's one.
I think there's one in crownpoint I know there's one in
cedar lake yeah um, I thoughtthat would like.
That would just be like so coolto be able to let out your
anger like that.
I think a lot of this movie wasvery relatable and when she

(40:31):
broke that pot and she's likethat was my favorite pot.
And then she's like I like thatpot and i's like that was my
favorite pot.
And she's like I like that pot.
And I'm like, oh my God, I'd beso pissed if my friend came
over and broke one of the potsthat I liked.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
I'd be like what the hell Bring it B-Y-O-P.

Speaker 2 (40:42):
Bring your own pot, don't bring mine.

Speaker 1 (40:44):
Um, but this movie also touches on the hard facts.
That was kind of I mean, Ithought it was going to be a
sweet moment.
It's like he's going to do theright thing now Cause I think he
had another family at thispoint he's gonna do the right
thing and be there for herdaughter.
He opened it's like I can't dothis, like I'm not going to be
here for you, Like that waspretty fucking shitty.

(41:04):
I mean at least it.
He even praised her like youcame out fucking awesome versus
like you know.
And the last relatable thing Igot on here is like how she's a
eden is a yoga teacher out ofher apartment and you love yoga,

(41:27):
so that's relatable for you.

Speaker 2 (41:28):
Yeah, I'm a big yoga guy, so then, um, yes, like uh
invites.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
She asked her best friend, I can't do this alone.
What if I move in with you guys?

Speaker 2 (41:41):
That is me and my best friend Emily.
So.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
I mean, I can just understand where she's coming
from to move in.
And I can also understand whereher friend Dawn's coming from
as well.
To say no and get mad about it,and they ended up breaking up
about it.
Mm-hmm, yeah, to say no and getmad about it, and they ended up
breaking up about it.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
Mm-hmm, yeah, I think that is the most relatable, I
think, for me Only because I hadmy daughter super young and my
friends didn't start havingbabies until right now.
Well my baby is 16.
Or about to be 16 in March.
So it is very relatable, andespecially because I don't live
by my family.
So I have relied a lot on myclose friends, people that I

(42:20):
even became close friends withthrough work or through school,
and to kind of give my kid thatkind of family kind of feel.
Because, I'm not around myfamily all the time, I can't
take a trip down the road anddrop her off at my mom's house
where my mom will feed herdinner and watch movies with her
and play boggle or whatever.
You know, I don't have thattype of luxury.
So my friend, my best friend,Emily, she has been such a

(42:45):
provider for that for my kidLike I used to live with Emily
when I a couple of years ago,and she would get up in the
morning with my daughter andthey'd go get donuts and they'd
get coffee and they'd do gamenight every sundays and, but did
emily have her own kids?
not yet, but now she does nowshe's married with her first
baby and it's hard for mebecause she had always been

(43:07):
there for me and julie, and nowshe has her own husband and her
own baby, and so I'm just like,well, I'm just the third parent,
and she's just like, but you'renot.
And I'm like, but I am, you'reconfused.

Speaker 1 (43:20):
That's exactly what this movie is about, but like
but I understand.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
I also understand I'm not being completely naive in
that.

Speaker 1 (43:25):
Yeah.
I know the boundary, you knowbut it just lives in this movie
like we're.
You know, you do have to startthat separation with your
friends.
I talk about this all the timewith my therapist and you know
even like even in dating.

Speaker 2 (43:39):
You know, like when I was dating my ex-boyfriend,
it's like I spent all my timewith him and like it was like me
, him, my daughter, all the time, and so like even my friends
took a back seat.
And I just expect that samething for my best friend, emily,
with her having now a baby anda husband.
So it's just that line that youkind of have naturally kind of
fade out into it's just life,yeah but it's hard because then,

(44:03):
like my kid was young and youknow, grew this attachment
almost to these adults and nowthese adults are having their
own stuff and it's like, oh well, where's our family at?

Speaker 1 (44:12):
and it's like it's just me, sorry, it's literally
just me, but I mean, that's whatmakes these movies so relatable
and like it makes you feel likeokay, like I must be doing
something right too, if they'remaking movies like this.

Speaker 2 (44:23):
Yeah and I mean and it's still a school, like, don't
get me wrong, it's not like westopped friendship or anything
like that and still very muchhave this.
It was more like a big family.
Now it's just like more like acousin situation rather that's
awesome.
Yeah, it is very cool me andemily joke all the time about
her.
She's like I'll just buy acondo and then you can live on
one side and then we'll live onthe other side, I'll be sick and
then you always have ababysitter.

Speaker 1 (44:45):
My kids old enough and I like to be at home so you
guys can go, hang out and dowhatever you want yeah, this
movie is great, though it wasvery entertaining, very funny,
like if you're watching this fora great plot, like you're not
gonna get it.
It was very predictable, thoughI mean it has its flaws, yeah,
but, like I said, it's not meantfor anything serious.
It's meant for, like, somethingfor you to come watch home
after work after a long time,hang out nice glass of wine or

(45:06):
something like that, you know.
Or you look for friends night,you know, have your girlfriends
over, or you're, you know, orfernando over and you know
something like this.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
You're like it's it's girlfriends, or fernando?

Speaker 1 (45:16):
yeah yeah, it's a chill watch.
I had a great time watchingthis.
I I wish I watched in theaters,but I think I watched this
twice at home now since it cameout yeah, I do like it.

Speaker 2 (45:25):
I'll probably watch it again at some point in time
in my life.
Honestly, I want to give yousome recommendations after the
episode too.

Speaker 1 (45:31):
Um, but yeah, nine out of ten for me, still with
you few all, right now I want tomove on to the next movie,
which is going to be called.
Baby mama came out in 2007, Ibelieve.
Uh, your pick of this movie,and I remember when this movie
came out it was a huge dealbecause it's the bomb.
It's tina fey and amy poehler.
They're fresh off of snl doingthis movie.

(45:52):
Um, this is like the secondmovie they teamed up on.
The first one was mean girls.
Obviously they've done manymore things together.
Uh, sisters is another moviethat's been off of this.
It was a huge deal becausethere was so such an iconic
comedy duo together yes and theystill are.
They're so funny.
They hosted the oscars a coupleof times, I believe, or once or

(46:12):
something like that, andthey're just all so funny, like
melissa mccarthy kind of funny,my man rudolph kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yes, yes, I love, I love them together because they
just vibe so well, they justbounce off of each other so well
and this movie came out like Imeant a mistake.

Speaker 1 (46:28):
It's 2008.
2008 was a time to be alive.
Yeah, time to be alive.
Yeah, trying to be alive, likemusically movie-wise.

Speaker 2 (46:35):
Not so much fashion or makeup.
Well, you can skip that, buteverything else yes 2008.

Speaker 1 (46:42):
I think I was in middle school, maybe freshman
year.

Speaker 2 (46:45):
I'm older than you, so so you're like college.
So I'm like ancient, I was inthe club In the club.

Speaker 1 (46:57):
For those of you who don't know, this movie is about
a successful singlebusinesswoman who dreams of
having a baby, discovers she'sinfertile yeah, that's correct,
you're right infertile and hiresa working class of women to be
an unlikely surrogate.
This movie was directed andwritten by michael mccurlars,
starring tina fey and amypoehler and for those you don't
know, who live under a rock,tina fey is known for snl.

(47:18):
Well, they're both known forsnl.
Uh 30 rock sisters, mean girls,date night and mega mind.
Amy poehler is also known forparks and recreation inside out
and blades of glory.
Out of the two, who's yourfavorite?
Oh no, probably amy there's soyeah, I was a picture of amy
person.

Speaker 2 (47:36):
There's so different it's just because she's so
almost electric, yeah, and um.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
Tina faye plays more the straight woman.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
That she's funny because like it's more like dry
a little bit, but not dry likejohn mulaney.

Speaker 1 (47:51):
Yeah yeah, not as dry as john eleni yeah, uh, this is
my first time watching it.
Like I said, it was a big dealwhen it came out.
I loved it.
I I didn't hate this, I did.
It was very well because, likenothing in 2008 is the same as
watching for the first.
If I watch this in 2008, Ithink this is the funniest
fucking movie ever.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
I'm just living in 2008 and that's why I'm just
like I love it.
It's still very relevant.

Speaker 1 (48:15):
I mean like there's so many comedy movies just 2008,
.
And that's why I'm just like Ilove it.
It's still very relevant.
I mean, there's so many comedymovies just like this and that's
why I'm kind of over it.
It was entertaining.

Speaker 2 (48:22):
Well, now there is.
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Babes is way more funny than this one, I think.
But Baby Mama.
I have some of my favorite plotlines here that I will go over.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
I love this movie is like easily my top like three
favorite what's about a 37 yearold woman?

Speaker 1 (48:41):
it played by tina fey .
She is always one of the kid inmy mind, like just because I'm
with stages, I'm 28 right now.

Speaker 2 (48:48):
Like in my mind.
I was like bitch.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
You're killing it in your career.
Why would you want to likeshe's?
She's so successful she'splayed a hundred thousand
dollars for the surrogate.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I don't know how much it costs in real life, if
that's accurate or not, but Ithink between like 60 to like
100 probably, I would guess Iactually know a girl who did
that.
I actually know two girls who'sdone that I mean, that is a
business choice that's so hardon your body, though, like and
to go through all that and noteven be able to keep it that's.
That's the tough part but likesome people, they just some

(49:24):
people don't want kids you know,some people would rather have
the experience of being pregnantand then just have that and
then to be like here you go,here's your bonnet something
like that get cooked.
No, I think I would get way tooattached.
I also don't think I would beable to um have sex with
somebody else's baby inside ofme.
I feel like that would weird meout.
I'd be like I'm essentiallyputting your baby at risk on top

(49:46):
of that she had the surrogateangie.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
She had a boyfriend too.
Like I, I as something like aman, like I don't know if I
would feel comfortable with myspouse carrying another person's
child, like that too, you knowthat's weird it's great.

Speaker 2 (50:01):
I think it's beautiful.
I think it's wonderful.

Speaker 1 (50:02):
I think people who are able to do that hell yeah
it's great and you know it givesopportunities for people can't
have their own kids too, becauseshe, because then it is yours.

Speaker 2 (50:10):
You know, honestly, when I was with um, my
ex-boyfriend, I didn't want.
He wanted kids and I didn'twant to have them.
I was like I don't want to havethem, but if we implant my eggs
into somebody else I'd be downfor that.
Somebody else can carry my kids, I know.
And then I looked at that's howI know how much it is, because
I was like oh, I would adopt, Iwould hella adopt.

(50:30):
I, I want to foster so bad.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
You'd be good foster mom so bad.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
Because I think it'd be hard to give them back.
But I feel like a lot of kidsthat I have in my life.

Speaker 1 (50:43):
I'm in their lives because of their shitty parents,
I can see you working with youraunts.
Why is he not a teacher orsomething like that?
I used to be a preschoolteacher, yeah.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
But that was fun.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
And then he decided to go babysit grownups in a bar,
but that was fun.
And then he decided to gobabysit grownups in a bar.

Speaker 2 (50:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Unfortunately, you know, but this movie is so funny
with that.
It was like that, like thedoctor, like when she would find
out she's infertile.
Like I just don't like youruterus.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
He said like several times I mean this movie had a
lot of sci-fi Hallmark moviebackground music, you know like
to make it.
That's what kind of killed it.
For me was that music ah whatdo you mean?

Speaker 2 (51:18):
you didn't love the music.

Speaker 1 (51:20):
It was very, but it was in the time era I mean they
had like a lot of like pop 2008songs that came out in the time.
I mean that's what made it bigback then.
I feel like more like pop, morecooler.
I feel like but now that, likewe're in 2025, like it's more of
a throwback, like a like anostalgic thing, yeah um,
actually I didn't know daxshepherd in this movie.
I'm a huge dax shepherd fan.

(51:40):
I'm not a fan of his characterin this movie because I felt
like he didn't kind of adouchebag he's a douchebag, but
like the way he played him, Ifelt like was um, just not.
I could totally tell you toplay the character yeah versus
like I didn't buy it at all.
I mean, you ever seen, um notutopia with, uh, luke wilson and
they go in the future and thefuture is dumb as fuck.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Anyway, he plays like a dumbass in that, in that
movie I don't know why I justthought of hot tub time machine
I just watched that like not toolong ago too.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
But uh, I I dag shepherd.
I'm a huge fan of him.
He has a great podcast outthere right now too.
Um, he's jack now.
Have you seen him lately?

Speaker 2 (52:20):
no, he's, I love him, so I would like so funny I
would also like to see himjacked he's.

Speaker 1 (52:28):
He's hilarious, he's a great guy.
I like seeing him.
I like seeing him in seriousroles too.
He was in in a movie withRobert Downey Jr a few years ago
called, I think, the Judge,where he plays a lawyer.
He plays a lawyer fromValparaiso here.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
Oh yeah, that's interesting yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
It was pretty interesting.
I'll put you on that movielater, but Dad Shepard is great.
I think he's awesome.
When I think Dad Shepard, Ithink of let's Go to Prison.

Speaker 2 (52:55):
No.

Speaker 1 (52:55):
No, that's how I introduced him.
He plays this guy with WillArnett.
That's another episode.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
This movie is predictable as hell, though,
whatever.

Speaker 1 (53:06):
I knew after the first visit she didn't even take
the Tina Fey to the firstdoctor visit.
She's not pregnant, I alreadyknew it.
Well, yeah, I think it's meantfor you to know though and as
soon as she met that guy fromthe juice bar, I already knew
she's gonna get pregnant at theend well, no surprises there, I
guess, but the humor was therethe humor was there I mean so?

(53:28):
funny.
I'm a big fan of the her, thejamba juice guy, greg kilner,
greg keener.
He's a very famous actor buthe's also a bigger voice actor
too.
But his, his, his character issuch a douchebag, like it was a
predictable rom-com kind of guyyeah, no, I'll give you that

(53:49):
there was like a whole big liketown meeting, like they were
upset with her, like oh my gosh.
And he interrupts her hey hegoes like did you ever get that
apartment?
Like in a room full of people,I was like what the fuck are you
doing?
You know that was he.
He owns a juice bar in thismovie, but originally it was
supposed to be a tea kind ofplace, like a tea bar, but they
the whole crew thought the jambajuice was gonna be funnier,

(54:11):
which it was.
I can't imagine being agrown-ass adult owning a juice
bar.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
I would love that.

Speaker 1 (54:20):
And I would have plants everywhere.

Speaker 2 (54:22):
Plants and juice, plants and juice, and I'd make
my own juice, and then maybethere would be a Bloody Mary bar
, because that's all Bloody Maryis.
It's just juice.

Speaker 1 (54:30):
I guess and liquor.
How about the scenes?
There's another, like how thedoctor was a funny scene of
babes movie.
I think the funny one with thiswas like the teacher who had
like the little baby voice orwhatever.

Speaker 2 (54:43):
Yes, the is, it wasn't a list?

Speaker 1 (54:46):
it wasn't a list, she's just.

Speaker 2 (54:47):
It's like a speech impediment it wasn't she
couldn't say her r's or w's andlike to drug your baby?
Yeah, that would be me.
How many of you guys prefer toselfishly twug your baby?

Speaker 1 (55:05):
now that's.
I mean that's a hot topic, butyou know, getting she's like
guilting you, she was guiltingthem a hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (55:13):
But you know what people are weird like that
people like women have such likeweird standards for other women
and how they take care of theirbabies they try connecting that
with a problem like downsyndrome and stuff like that.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
Yeah, um now, which is impossible say you were one
of the surrogate and you metthis person and it ends up being
someone like angie, I mean.
Now, how would you?

Speaker 2 (55:35):
know, because first off, she's crazy, honestly, but
this is what makes it so funnyis because I would never have a
surrogate come to my house andthen be like, yeah, I can read
people's auras and she's, andshe's standing in the sunset.
She's like it's like a sunset,it's like a sunsetty color and
it's like she's standing infront of the sunset.

Speaker 1 (55:55):
You're only saying that because she's in front of
the sunset so just kind of like,invites herself to move into
her house too yeah, I thoughtthat was a little, a little
extra, but she was all for ityou know she was taking care of
her like it was her own, likebaby which is so sweet like she
bought her groceries andeverything like that too, oh,
yeah, red bull yeah, just youknow when she was lying.

Speaker 2 (56:14):
I thought that was a funny scene, like did you put
this gum under my coffee table?
No no, maybe you put it underthere.
There's like 50 pieces of gumunder there her face when she
looks underneath it.
She's like she goes to look andshe's like it's so funny.
Yeah, literally my favorite.
Literally, that's just.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
I don't know, maybe you stuck some under there um,
but there is a point in thismovie where they are starting to
become friends a little bitbecause they're so close
together and they do go to aclub and they do.
She ends well.
First I didn't even talk about,like the for opening scene
where tina fey's on a date witha guy and she meant she opens up
already about wanting kids yeah, like almost instantly the guy

(56:54):
dips.
He makes eye contact with her ashe's getting in the cab that's
why you just gotta trap him andI think he that was the same guy
at the club right, or somethinglike that.
Somebody cheated on her orsomething.
Oh no, wasn't she marriedbefore and she got cheated on?
Yeah, and they found her car,the guy's car and amy poehler
grabs the fucking trash can likethe hulk and smashes against

(57:17):
the back window see.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
This movie is so like low-key.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
You want toxic friends like that, though that's
.
That's a little bit spicy lifethat's.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
I'm torn between that all the time.
It's like, oh, do I want to behealthy or do I want to be toxic
?
Because I used to be real toxicyou get and then I kind of like
grew out of it.
Whatever you grew out of it, Igrew out of it Whatever you grew
out of it.
I grew out of it.

Speaker 1 (57:38):
In the past, like two months.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
And like I still very much have the thoughts I'll be
like man, I'll show up at thatplace right now.
And then I'm like no, that'scrazy, I sound crazy.
I need to chill.
I hate that.
I hate that voice.
Now that I have that talks meout of the things I definitely
want to do and I'm like fine, Ithink everyone has.

Speaker 1 (57:55):
Those are called impulsive, intrusive thoughts.
Um, hate it.
But there is a scene, obviously, where amy puller fesses up not
being pregnant.
They go to court over it.
The whole court scene wasridiculous.
She just watched true crime tvand like thought how the top
court works.
And they find out because sheis pregnant.

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Really yeah, because she's like I, you're not going
to see a baby in there.
And they're like there it is.

Speaker 1 (58:17):
And she's like, holy shit, there's a baby in there,
yeah, and it ends up being DaxShepard's doll.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
But there was a small chance, it could have been Tina
Fey's baby's doll.
And then I wrote this down onmy notes Like she finds out she
was Tina, you're not the mother,and she cries.
She runs out the courtroom.
I was like I wrote down likecan you run out of your court
session like that?

Speaker 2 (58:39):
wasn't the end of it, you know.
No, I think you have to bedismissed, right it's like no
one stopped her is this inreality no, yeah, and uh, when?

Speaker 1 (58:47):
well, first of all, going back to when amy
polifantos, she was pregnant,the doc goes oh no, no, not amy
polifantos, tina fey, at the endshe's you're, and he just walks
out the room.
I was like I think she wouldhave questions yeah, probably.
And the last note there that Ithought was funny Tina Fey's
boss.
I loved as an older woman shewas kind of judging her for like

(59:10):
why are?
You having a baby this late inlife, and she's also pregnant.

Speaker 2 (59:22):
At the end of the movie you find out she gave
birth to twins.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
Oh my god, after she was talented to fail like oh no,
that was, that was thesurrogacy agent.
Oh, the boss is, uh, that oneguy from cheaper by the dozen.
Okay, oh, steve martin, duhyeah, yeah, and he's like.

Speaker 2 (59:30):
You've just earned five minutes of uninterrupted
eye contact and they just stareat each other.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
I'm like she was an oddball, like he said.
I loved it.
I would love a boss like that.
No, he was like a guy could youimagine?
He was sitting down on thetable in the conference.
He's like join me up here.
I'm wearing a skirt.
It's like no one look, it'sokay so funny.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
Yeah, yeah, she's like.
Yeah, when the girl at theagency she's like oh yes, I'm
expecting, and she's like you'reso old and then she gets twins
at the end she's like yes, it'stwins, so nonchalant.

Speaker 1 (01:00:10):
This movie was cute and it was charming and I'm sure
if I watched it 2008 I wouldhave thought it's way cooler.
It's the best am I gonna watchthis anytime soon again?

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
probably not I like watch this going to bed for like
six years straight.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
I want to say I could totally see that.
It's a comfort movie like that.
It totally is.
Would you like to see somethinglike this remade?
Not like exactly the same movie, but like a same scenario?
Yeah, I would who would youpick to be the two women, the
straight woman and the me?

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
no, I'm just kidding, um, probably, um, probably.
That one girl, that one blondegirl from bridesmaids, the main
character I know you're talkingabout I don't know her name.
I don't know any names you knowin this movie, baby mama.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
A lot of the extras are.
You know, people are smaller,they're snl castmates too, yeah,
and I feel like that's verywithin the sequence of this is
like the higher, it's like theystick together.

Speaker 2 (01:01:10):
It's like when adam sandler does a movie yeah,
exactly, and it's like all ofhis friends, it's very.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
If they were to make this movie right now, you know
who would be doing it sydneysweeney and jenna ortega yeah,
but in my head jenna ortega isstill a baby 16, yeah in my head
she's just a little infantchild dude there's this movie
jenna ortega came out last year.
it did gotten zero love becauseit's a weird scenario.

(01:01:35):
Martin Freeman, his older actor, he's great and everything
right.
He plays a professor and theyend up dating.
It's weird and there's sexscenes and everything like that.
It didn't get no love becauseit's like that.
It makes you cringe.

Speaker 2 (01:01:50):
Ew how old was she.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
This was just last year it came out.

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
Oh, she was like 19.

Speaker 1 (01:01:56):
I don't know how old is she now.

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
She's in her 20s.
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
I told you in my head she's 16.
Yeah, she has a new moviecoming out with Paul Rudd pretty
soon.

Speaker 2 (01:02:04):
I just started re-watching you.

Speaker 1 (01:02:06):
It's a good show.
Oh, that's right, she is in.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
You.
I forgot about that's all I cansee.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Here is 15 year old Ellie the 15 because I just
started watching you like acouple, like over the weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
I just restarted watching it because the fourth
season's coming out, and so nowthat's all I can see right now.

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
When you with uh Elizabeth Olsen we talked about.

Speaker 2 (01:02:24):
I'm excited for that oh, I'm so excited for it, but
I'm a little I'm nervous becauseI'm re-watching it.
So that way when the fourthseason comes out I'm prepared.
But I really love the first andsecond season.
I didn't really crazy get intothe third one, so I'm hoping
maybe this time around I couldreally watch it and I'll get
into it.
And then I'll be like oh okay,because where else can you
really go with this series?

(01:02:45):
You know?

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
right, right.
Go back to being honest.
What would you give one out often?

Speaker 2 (01:02:52):
be honest yourself 10 easily, easily a 10 easily 10.
I would give it like a 7, 7.5no, I will.
Okay, realistically, I do thinkI probably would give babes a
10 and baby mama like a 9.5, butI think for me it's just the
attachment I have to the movieand that's why I want to say 10,

(01:03:13):
which is why I want to, as faras casting acting plot.
Yeah, those are my real numbers.
Okay, babes.
10 yeah you're sitting on aremote.

Speaker 1 (01:03:26):
You're sitting there, just hit the middle button.

Speaker 2 (01:03:32):
Um, these are great remote two Fernando zero yeah
these are great movies.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
I'm gonna suggest you're watching it like,
especially if it's a hard day atwork.
You just wanna come homerelaxed, put on a glass of wine,
something like that.
Put this movie on.
You have a great night.

Speaker 2 (01:03:50):
You end up chilling and honestly, even if, like if I
was I'm really into coloringright now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
I got a coloring book in the closet.

Speaker 2 (01:03:58):
I'm really into coloring right now.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
Like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
I've been watching coloring TikTok a lot with like
the acrylic markers.
I want acrylic markers, so bad.
That's on my birthday wish listright now.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
I'll link it in the bio, if anyone wants to.
Yeah, I'll link it in the bio.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
If you want to click right here.
But that's what I'm into and Iwould recommend this for anybody
who, like, wants to sit and,like, maybe do a craft, if you
like puzzles like I said, it'salgorithmic when I did my nails
like it was the perfect movie tojust sit and do that, because
again you can kind of zone inand out.
You're not going to really misstoo much when you do that

(01:04:29):
because there's so much littlesmall scenarios that don't
affect the plot if you miss outon them.
It's just extra funny if you getto see them For those listening
.

Speaker 1 (01:04:40):
I'm going to add a new segment to the show now.
For those listening who reallylike these movies that we talked
about or are interested intalking about these movies that
we talked about, I have a couplesuggestions that you might want
to go along with it.
You might have seen this too.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
But Juno?
Oh, I've seen seen juno, but Idon't remember juno juno was
more about the fact of liketeenager dealing with pregnancy?

with pregnancy and yourboyfriend's dead.
Yeah, uh, knocked up with sethrogan oh, I love knocked up

I always put on movies when Igo to sleep, but that they put
me to sleep.
So I think right now my comfortmovie.

Speaker 1 (01:06:05):
To go to sleep is to the office, it's the show I've
never seen the office that's ashame.
Um, so those are anyone who,like you, know movies similar to
these ones that you might like.
Now, I do have two suggestionsfor you, because you're a big
documentary series.
Um, these are both on netflix,right?

Speaker 2 (01:06:20):
now have I seen them no, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
We haven't talked about if you have the tinder
swindler oh, I did startwatching that that one was
pretty fucking good.
It's about for those you wantto watch it it's about, like
this man who scams these womento falling in love with them and
then he starts taking moneyfrom them and then you know it
never returns their cause and hedoes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:39):
Basically it's me, but in a male form, exactly
she's.
She's out for your money.
I'm a con artist and this oneis.

Speaker 1 (01:06:45):
I think this one's based in indiana too.
It's called our father, oh, thesperm donor doctor.
Who?
Who claims to be helping thiswoman by getting them pregnant
with their they think they'regetting pregnant with their
spouse and it's actually hissperm, and this guy has like
hundreds of kids I heard aboutthat and they're like it's sick,
he's has all these kids orwhatever, and he wants to keep

(01:07:06):
having more kids, right is this?

Speaker 2 (01:07:08):
I think that's the same one I'm thinking about I
didn't I didn't watch that oneit's.

Speaker 1 (01:07:12):
It's interesting.
I haven't watched it yet.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
It's interesting I watch a lot of murder ones yeah,
we'll give some suggestions tothe crowd um dang it, I wasn't
prepared for this no, no, no.
There's like um the laceypeterson one, that one's really
good.
Okay, there's one that is aboutum, this psycho girl, and she
actually kills her kids.
Her kids go missing and her momlauren, what's her name?

(01:07:39):
go ahead I don't, I don't know,but it's, it's so good and she
like.
So her two youngest ones gomissing and she ended up like
killing them or whatever, andher oldest one knows about it
and so like there's clips of herin jail and his, her oldest,
calling her and it's like howcould you do this and you know
whatever?
And she's like you know, Ididn't do this.
And he's like no, like you arelegitimately insane.

(01:08:02):
So that one's really good.

Or Bad Roommate.
Or my crazy roommate and mycrazy ex or something like that,
my super crazy ex or whateverit's called.

Speaker 1 (01:08:18):
I've seen the roommate one.

Speaker 2 (01:08:19):
That one was a good one, the crazy, ex one is insane
