In this episode of Wicked Psychotherapists, we have some big laughs while diving into the even bigger heart of Mr. Deeds.
We explore why Deeds' kindness, generosity, and natural instinct to help others make him such a standout character — and why those traits still resonate today.
Through a playful psychological lens, we talk about how goodness challenges cynicism, what it means to stay true to yourself, and why the world could use a few more Deeds.
Come hang out with us for some fun, reflection, and a few unexpected insights!

You are listening to WickedPsychotherapists, a podcast
where two psychotherapists showyou that taking care of and
learning about mental healthdoesn't have to be wicked hat.
Erin (00:31):
Hey guys, it's Tanya.
Hi, it's Erin and welcome toWicked Psychotherapist.
Tanya (00:36):
Yeah, so today we are going to be jumping into the
Adam Sandler universe.
we're gonna be talking about,today and probably next time
some Adam Sandler, moviesbecause we love him.
Mm-hmm.
And he is, hilarious and.
We don't care what you say.
Um, so some people, yeah, wemight do future movies too, if
(00:56):
we figure Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Because he is, he's a, he'ssomeone, I think I grew up just
feeling like he was hilarious,and I know he's very polarizing.
Some people like him, somepeople don't.
But we hear it withpsychotherapists.
Love him.
he maybe has some immaturehumor.
Maybe he just makes noisessometimes, but that's funny to
(01:16):
us.
So, today we're gonna talk aboutthe movie Mr.
Deeds, from 2002, where, it'sapparently we just learned this
is a remake of a depression eramovie called Mr.
Deeds Goes to town.
I only knew that'cause I saw itwritten somewhere.
Mm-hmm.
I had no idea.
Erin (01:33):
I had no idea.
I never heard of that until youmentioned it today.
Tanya (01:36):
Yeah, it was not well received as a remake of that.
But we still think this movieholds up on its own.
We didn't watch the other movie.
'cause Adam Sandler is in acategory all his own.
Mm-hmm.
and this movie also contains oneof our other favorites When On
Rider.
Oh yeah.
That's the tie in.
there's a great combination herein this movie.
(01:57):
have they done ever other moviesbefore?
I dunno.
In Winona, I can't think of any,but I feel like,
Erin (02:04):
I don't know.
'cause I was thinking DrewBarrymore when you said that,
but, so I don't know if they'vedone, no.
Him and Jennifer Aniston havedone like three movies together.
Tanya (02:13):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
They had all the Netflix onesthat were like, apparently they,
they were.
Loved to be like hated, butpeople wanted to keep watching
them sort of thing.
Right.
Like that was the formula behindit, but Right.
This movie has a lot of comedicelements to it.
It is really, it's just a funmovie.
and really deals with some, somethemes in mental health that
(02:35):
are.
We're kind of a little bit moreon the, the outskirts, you know,
things that we usually talkabout, but definitely has some
elements there.
Mm-hmm.
so you know, the first thing isprobably just Mr.
Deeds or Deeds Longfellow.
Deeds Longfellow.
Did they ever say why his nameis Longfellow?
Erin (02:50):
Maybe it was just something to be a little fancier
or because his.
Mother knew who his uncle was,or I don't know, maybe it's some
family name.
Like, oh great, now they'regonna know my name.
Yeah.
Tanya (03:02):
he's like, yeah, it's kind of, yeah.
And he prefers to just be calleddeeds.
'cause he is kind of like aneveryday man.
He is not a fancy man in hisTown in New Hampshire.
And man Drake Falls, which ismade up, of course, He's very
much just kind of a small townguy who is very friendly.
He owns like a pizza shop.
He wants to get greeting cardspublished.
(03:24):
He's kind of got these really,overly rhymed poems that are fit
for Hallmark.
He keeps submitting them andhe's just a nice guy.
You just kind of see he'sreally, he, he cares about the
people around him.
he's not upset in the openingscene when, his friend comes in
with, the two guys that arelooking for him.
And the friend had called outand he's like, I really thought
(03:45):
you were sick, huh?
And he
Erin (03:46):
And he just keeps on it of like, you did such a good job.
You're such a good actor.
Like, just such positive praise.
Instead of like, most bosses orfriends would be like, oh my
God, you left me hanging.
What a jerk.
You know, but,
Tanya (03:58):
or like, you're fired or like, you can't do that again.
But he was just like, yeah, likethat's a great performance.
it really shows his characterthat he's, he's just got a, he's
got a good heart.
He's very much, he cares aboutpeople first before money and,
and, you know, connecting withother people.
Mm-hmm.
And he's got a good relationshipwith them.
Right.
yeah.
And, and so we, we kind of seethat we.
(04:19):
We start to, we also see thathe, unbeknownst to him, he is
related to some, you know, mediatycoon who's worth billions of
dollars, who passes away on amountain, frozen
Erin (04:33):
on Everest.
He gets on the top and he islike, I like how they depicted
it too.
It's just like he's justhugging.
Tanya (04:39):
frozen in tongue,
Erin (04:40):
So happy he made it, but just in a Popsicle now.
Tanya (04:43):
And he goes out doing what he wanted to do, and he's
got some characteristics ofdeeds, right?
you know, you can see howthey're related.
They really want to do thingsthat are, good for them.
They care about people.
they're determined to, do thingsthat make them happy, and bring
happiness.
yeah, these two kind of, Iguess, executives of, you know,
that are part of the board cometo get deeds and inform him,
(05:04):
Hey, you just inherited$40billion, you're the next closest
heir.
and deeds is like when they tellhim like, Hey, you're, you're
next in line for a 40 billionfortune.
He's like.
Oh yeah.
And then he goes on and likestarts talking about something
else.
Yeah.
And like, like that somebody hadjust said to him and he is like,
wait, did you just say that?
Like he process in his mind.
Yeah.
He's like,
Erin (05:24):
I have to deliver these pizzas.
Tanya (05:25):
he's very friendly.
He helps that older man crossthe street, literally carries
him on his back to get himthere.
he's a very affable guy.
so we kind of start to see thatthere's this buildup of, a
really great guy who has smalltown values and really cares
about people and he's about to.
Go to, the big city in New York.
I guess nobody's ever left thetown before.
(05:47):
He is like, I'm the first personever to leave, except for when
somebody went to Disney World orsomething.
Erin (05:52):
Then like it's a big parade everyone, you know, or
something like, everyone's justlike big, big, big event for him
leaving.
Tanya (05:59):
Yeah.
It's like nobody ever does that.
And then he's going in ahelicopter.
But then also
Erin (06:03):
you wonder if other people would've had quite the response
or deeds because he's so wellliked and just pretty,
Tanya (06:11):
you know, just such a big part of the community.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then he reaches New York andkind of is just, really friendly
to everyone.
He gives them hugs, he doesn'tlike shake hands, even though
they're like these corporatetypes or like people that are
kind of around the house thatare very much kind of not used
to being treated in such afriendly manner.
And he's just, you know, he justtreats everyone the same.
(06:33):
He is, they're all equals tohim.
And yeah, it starts to set upthis kind of realization that he
carries with him something thatthese people around him probably
don't and probably, maybe neverhave or maybe have been, kind of
corrupted by corporate greed,money, things like that.
so that's kind of a big themeis, you know, integrity being
unchanged even though His placechanges.
(06:55):
he's not really, he's notchanged by that.
He has really strict kind ofmorals and values, and that's
just who he is.
He doesn't try to change that orhide that.
He's not ashamed of it.
he defends it.
when he's out on a date withBabe, who is Winona Rider, you
know, and the, the guys invitehim over kind of to, to make fun
of him essentially, right.
He's like, oh, so you guysdidn't invite me over here to
(07:17):
like, be nice.
Like you guys are really unkind,you know?
And kind of is just like, I'msorry, I'm sorry Mrs.
Dawson, you know?
And yeah, he's like, well, we'regonna leave.
And he doesn't, you know, hedoesn't do anything really, to,
to get them back except when hethen, you know, punches them
out.
That's, yeah.
That's how kind of he does getrevenge on them.
Yeah.
He, he just shows that he's,he's a, he's a good character.
(07:40):
he can't really be changed bythat even though he knows he's
inheriting$40 billion.
Right.
Which is not just life changingmoney, it's generational life
changing money.
so he's not changed by thateven.
yeah.
What other themes do we have?
Kind of hook up with Mr.
Deeds?
Erin (07:55):
well there's, the empathy, like, you know, like his huge
bit, you know, like that he haslike, you know, and probably
dealing with how it seems likeeverybody at his uncles company,
they're more driven by greed orpower in trying to navigate that
and trying to.
Figure out who he is.
(08:15):
Like outside of a lot of selfidentity, trying to figure out
who he is outside of Main, main,what is, what is the name of the
town he's in, man?
Mandrake Falls.
Mandrake Falls so he's trying tofind out who he is outside of
Mandrake Falls and being in thebig city and trying to
acclimate, but also not losingwho he is.
(08:39):
You know, it's interesting too,like he never seems like he
really gets angry at the peoplelike that he's being exposed to.
He is just like, all right, Iunder, you know, kind of almost
understanding why they're
Tanya (08:50):
acting certain ways, but I don't know.
Yeah.
And I, I almost kind of wonder,and this is, I, I have not seen
the, the movie that this waskind of, I guess.
Based on or remake of, or like aloose remake of in the, like
twenties, 19.
Mm-hmm.
1920s.
So, God.
but the, I, I wonder if it wasduring the depression era, if it
was kind of more of a, athinking of like, Hey, being a
(09:12):
good person as opposed tocapitalism is better because
mm-hmm.
There was a lot of, mm-hmm.
Maybe I think thinking that hadto go around of, you know, we
don't have very much, but youcan be appreciative of what you
have.
Erin (09:24):
And also it's like a lot of the corporate ethics and some
like, indeed seems like he istrying to take responsibility.
So even how he tries to go intothe.
Boardroom and everything.
He is like, Hey, I just wannasee if there's anything I can do
or how can I help?
And they're like, that's not,you know, like, so they're, they
get kind of annoyed with him'cause it's not how they want it
(09:45):
to work.
They're in a, you know, theywanna make money, they're trying
to sell the company, sell thestocks and deeds is like, well I
wanna try to help this oneplayer.
You know, like realize that, hehas to behave.
Do these other things.
So he's trying to really see theethical part of running a
business because that's how,he's seen it as a business owner
(10:05):
of his pizza place.
So now he is trying to use thatsame mindset into his
Tanya (10:11):
uncle's billion dollar, you know, multiple companies.
Yeah.
Like not seeing that the, youknow, he, he really is a, a very
caring.
Manager or boss, you know,owner.
Right.
And, and really, you know, willgive out pizzas for free to, to
people and help people out.
but in this instance, this isall about yeah, how much money
can we squeeze out?
The little person.
(10:31):
And, I think that's, that'seventually what brings him back
to kind of fight for that money.
He walks away from it and says,just donate it to whatever you
think is, is worthy and.
You know, when he hears, oh,well actually, you know, what's
his name?
Eyebrows, Peter Gallagher's.
Character.
Character.
I can't think of his name.
Cedar or something?
Yeah.
Erin (10:50):
At the, it's Cedar.
Tanya (10:51):
Mr.
Cedar.
or see, I don't know.
I don't know.
Whatever eyebrow dude.
He was like, Chuck er.
Yeah.
He, when he decides to sell offthe cut, he's going to make a
vote to sell it off in pieces,and then like 50,000 people are
gonna lose their jobs.
And that's what really touches,Mr.
Deed's heart.
And he's like, oh no, that's,that's not right.
he's definitely very much like,you know, it's the heart versus
(11:13):
the head Kind of thing.
Erin (11:14):
Yeah.
'cause he sees'em as people.
He doesn't just see'em as.
Financial obligations or how,how much money are we gonna lose
or how much money are we gonnamake?
Not having these people, he'sseeing them, oh wait, each one
of them is a person and theyhave a family and they have
responsibilities.
That's probably how, going backto his one employee who was fake
and sick, he's probably like,ah, you're doing so good.
(11:36):
This is, you're so funny.
But he's probably not gonna firehim because he knows his friend.
That's probably all his.
Whatever he was doing at the,airport, you'd know sitting in
the chair.
Oh, yeah.
Tanya (11:48):
Yeah.
And it's his friend and he likecares about him, so he is like,
oh, all right.
Well, he just, he doesn't evenget mad about it.
He's just totally, he's finewith it.
But, yeah.
And I think that, you know,coming back to, to this, it's
just a completely differentworldview.
It's.
Really kind of the David andGoliath kind of mentality of
like, you know, this smallerperson, you know, smaller person
(12:10):
values taking on Kind of thismega Goliath of, you know,
what's, you know, kind of the,the usual in business.
And he kind of turns it on itshead and doesn't want really
anything to do with it if it'sgonna be, You know, these types
of politics.
And I think he realizes that,and that's why he is just like,
I don't want this.
Like, this isn't my thing, youknow?
and there's also another piecethat we haven't really touched
(12:31):
on, which is Winona's characterBabe, which I do not understand
why her name is Babe, but it is,yeah.
Erin (12:37):
what the nickname.
Barbara maybe, I don't know.
What would you call ba, likewhat would a nickname for Babe
be like if someone's real name,I don't know.
Or maybe their parent, herparents
Tanya (12:46):
Or her parents have no idea named her babe.
Erin (12:48):
I don't know.
Tanya (12:49):
Yeah, I was like, that's a strange, yeah.
Okay.
And plus that sounds very, I, Imay be totally off here, but
that sounds kind of likesouthern to me.
Mm-hmm.
But she didn't seem, I know shethink we're looking too much
into it.
Erin (13:02):
it's movie land.
Tanya (13:04):
But yeah, she, she initially just, you know, she's
a, a, a producer at, at a,newspaper and she's.
Basically just trying to get thestory on him.
She's wearing like a hiddencamera, but then in the process
she falls in love with him, seeshow much of a good person he is,
right?
See how much he, he cares aboutpeople.
And, but you know, with thepowers that be and people
(13:24):
working to, to kind of make himfeel sad and wanna walk away,
they disclose that and mm-hmm.
Basically he's hurt and he justkind of wants nothing to do with
this.
Right.
He's very heartbroken.
He's never really, apparently heis never really dated too much
and so.
This is just a, a big heartbreakfor him.
Yeah.
Because he's very innocent.
He doesn't really, you know, hetakes things at face value.
(13:45):
He sees the good in everyone.
Erin (13:46):
Well, it also makes you realize how trusting deeds is
when all of those.
The videos come when he is withJohn McEnroe and they're like
being, crazy.
and he is just like, how didpeople get this video?
The shots.
I mean like who else was there?
Babe was there.
Tanya (14:04):
That's what I was thinking too.
Erin (14:05):
Like he's just so trusting and he is just like, it just
even with when he was rescuingthe woman in HER seven cats and
he is just like, how did thiscome, you know, that's so weird.
Like those shots, it's just, youknow, never would think'cause
he's just so trusting and just,you know, like, no one would
hurt me or, you know.
This person has her bestinterest, you know, has, has my
(14:25):
best interest, or she's myfriend, or I'm dating her.
Tanya (14:27):
Yeah, he really, he really likes her.
and it's funny because you wouldthink that would be like, oh, it
could have been anyone nowadayswith who, everybody has a phone.
But it just wasn't like thatback in 2002.
It really would've had to havebeen, you know, somebody doing
that intentionally, but He justdoesn't think that way.
he's very naive and open andtrusting.
You know, she realizes she loveshim, but he figures out, oh,
(14:51):
you've been lying to me.
you're not a school nurse.
Erin (14:53):
with Dr.
Pepper, he brings
Tanya (14:54):
her back to like her, her hometown of Winfield V or
Erin (14:58):
Yeah, I think it's Winchester Field v Iowa.
Tanya (15:01):
Just that sounds so made up.
Although I'm sure there is acity like that out there, that
everyone looks at
Erin (15:05):
her like they're insane when they go into like the
little diner.
Tanya (15:07):
remember her as like the girl who had a hump.
And he's like, no, you had a bighump.
Erin (15:11):
yes, that was me.
Tanya (15:13):
Yeah.
Erin (15:14):
It's like, yeah.
'cause she had to stay
Tanya (15:15):
with the lie.
Yeah.
And then they go to the home andshe's like, yep, this is where
we would, you know, go to thedining room and have the food.
And, you know, just afraid he islike, ah, these three, like
young kids, let them.
it's a really, I mean, it reallydoes show, there's so many
(15:37):
instances where he could havenoticed, Hey, this person is not
telling me the truth, butbecause of who he is as a
person, he trusts people.
He really sees the good in them.
He does not see that.
And I think when he found thatout, it really, it really hurt
him.
And he really felt like, oh, Ican't even be in this place.
This is not a good place.
I need to go home.
Right.
And so he, he goes back and heonly wants to go and, and.
(16:02):
You know, go back to New Yorkwhen he hears that, yeah, those
people are gonna be fired and hecares about that.
but yeah, there's a lot of, youknow, kind of looking for some
of the mental health themes area little bit of a stretch, but
they're definitely there.
There's always some there.
Erin (16:16):
yeah.
With humans, you know, thereprobably is.
There's always some theme.
Yeah.
we just wanted to like.
Go to Mr.
D's'cause it has Winona Rider,but then we're thinking we wanna
kind of switch to Adam Sandlerfor a little bit too, because
that's kind of how our brainworks too.
Tanya (16:32):
Yeah.
It's a nice handoff, you know,like Winona to to Adam and yeah.
Erin (16:38):
I think it was cute, but I don't think it was.
As good as she's had with otherpeople.
Like, you know, if we go back toour Johnny Depp talks or stuff
Tanya (16:49):
oh, that was tremendous.
Erin (16:50):
I think they had fun together.
You could tell they probably,it's probably a fun, you know,
if fun way to work together.
And I think it was believable.
Tanya (17:00):
I think so too.
I think they did kind of havemore of a friend.
Like a fun friend vibe kind ofthing, but that definitely did
work for that because it seemedlike he was very inexperienced
and that's kind of, Who he wouldclick with.
But yeah, it worked.
Yeah, for sure.
and I think that this was, it'sjust a fun movie I think to
(17:22):
watch and to see.
You know I think for a lot ofpeople they might be kind of
wondering like, why would hejust give up$40 billion?
I was one of those.
Yeah.
Because I was like, wow.
I would probably take like abillion and be like, Hey, I'm
set for life.
And then maybe they could,Donate the rest
Erin (17:40):
Or give it to all the employees,
Tanya (17:40):
I don't think I'd want the whole response or to, to
stay in New York or the wholeresponsibility of managing that.
'cause that just, that seemslike that would definitely
change Charact.
Erin (17:48):
That you'd have to be in New York.
That's not, yeah.
Tanya (17:50):
But I mean, I don't know for him to say, you know, it
sounds like he really likes hislife and he really sees the
value of like, connecting withpeople.
Mm-hmm.
There is a reality.
No matter what you do, you doneed money.
I mean, you know, maybe not abillion.
Right?
But you need some stuff.
And like even just to helppeople, you need money.
So you need that.
Yeah.
And especially'cause
Erin (18:09):
it does seem like a lot of his heart is, how can I help
people for free?
So you, why not figure out a waythat he could have some of that,
maybe not a billion, maybesomething less, because maybe
that feels too much.
But figure out a way, like, letme make sure my business is paid
off, and how can I start anonprofit giving free pizzas
(18:31):
away or something, you know,whatever it is that he wants to
do with that or.
Tanya (18:36):
Yeah.
Or like a, you know, communitycenter for his town or for like
other places or something likethat.
Could have been, that would'vebeen right up his alley, I
think.
Mm-hmm.
Erin (18:44):
Yeah.
Definitely not leaving the town,you know, because it's Scary for
everybody.
I'll just donate it to
Tanya (18:48):
whoever you know, and I mean, so I have a logistical
question, and this is probablyso stupid.
I don't know why I overanalyzestuff that is not real and does
not matter.
Okay.
And is the early two thousandsof it all, but so he donated.
He, he said, just, you know,what, what do you recommend?
And they were like the UnitedNegro College Fund.
Right.
You know, like, which I do notbelieve that's what it's called
(19:08):
anymore.
but you know, that was what itwas called back then.
And I don't know, maybe it's,but he, so, so that money, you
see the guy open it and he islike, ah, he just like, he's
like, you know, that's likelife-changing money.
Yeah.
For, and you know, in terms oflike, for any, any program would
be crazy, you know.
So it's already donated.
So when they figure out that thebutler is actually his, like,
(19:30):
you know, secret love child orwhatever, what money is left?
None.
because it's already given away,right?
Erin (19:36):
Well, no, I would think that check would bounce, because
then it would all go back to theoriginal, you know, like to, You
know, the sneaky guy?
What is his name?
I'm very sneaky.
the guy who's the father?
Who's the son of the uncle.
Tanya (19:48):
Oh, Emilio.
Emilio.
The Butler.
Yes.
Yeah.
But why would it, I mean,'causeit was there and they thought at
the time it was, it was his.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
And so, I mean, it would be sentto this.
I know this is completelyridiculous.
I am like trying to find out anyverse.
Yeah, I dunno.
Erin (20:04):
Logistically, they'd probably have to take some of
the money back or tell thenonprofit, the corporation, you
know, like, Hey, I know we justdonated 40 million, but we're
gonna have to change that alittle.
Tanya (20:19):
I mean, I would think so too, but I think that once
that's a donate, like that'skind of hard to get.
I don't know.
Maybe they can't, but I'm surelegally,
Erin (20:24):
like in real life, you, if you commit to a donation, You
probably have to give it, but Idon't know.
Tanya (20:30):
matter if it's, you know, like, but then again, maybe the,
because it wasn't legally Theright source.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he,
Erin (20:36):
he, so deeds really didn't have any say on how the money
could be donated or couldn't be
Tanya (20:43):
Then they'd be like, oh, well your, that's actually null
and void.
You have to say that.
Yeah, this isn't really, isn'tkind of crappy.
You know, you get excited andthen you're not.
Yeah, yeah.
and then Emilio decides to givehim, he's like, what can I give
you?
And he's like, I just wanna beyour friend.
He's like, what about a billion?
He's like, all right, I'll takeit.
And I was like, okay.
Why would you not take that?
Erin (21:00):
Yeah.
Well maybe.
'cause it feels different.
'cause now this is his, um,cousin.
What is it?
What is he to him?
Tanya (21:06):
Uncle, so he was his great, uncle, I think.
Right?
Erin (21:10):
his great uncle has a son and then that would be his
uncle, right?
I don't know.
So he's the
Tanya (21:17):
great nephew.
Erin (21:18):
Yeah.
Tanya (21:18):
And then this, I have to like draw this out and then use
the sun.
Yeah.
I think it would be.
Erin (21:24):
So Tanya's
Tanya (21:25):
doing
Erin (21:26):
a family.
Family, a genogram.
Genogram.
Tanya (21:28):
don't, honestly.
You'll have to have to raise itup
Erin (21:30):
so we can see in case we do a clip of it.
Tanya (21:32):
So this is on a scribble piece of paper.
if anyone knows,
Erin (21:35):
Would Emilio be the uncle or the cousin or this, you know,
Tanya (21:38):
I can't, my brain is not, I can't think of it.
But maybe he accepted the
Erin (21:42):
billion from him because it's, yeah.
'cause it feels less slimy.
It's not from a big corporation,it's from someone really kind.
Tanya (21:49):
and someone who he knows is gonna keep his father's, like
someone who really cared abouthis, uncle, great uncle or
whatever.
Yeah.
Who's, you know, Emilio'sfather.
Like, he actually really admiredhim, you know, along with feet
and stuff.
Yeah.
So, he knows that this is ofgood coming from a good source.
So that.
Yeah.
That, that does kind of changeit, you know, and I think that
also speaks to Mr.
(22:10):
Deed's ethics.
and his morals of this doesn'tfeel so bad.
And he's like, all right, I'lltake a billion, you know, kind
of thing.
Which I gotta say, if I were inhis place, I don't, I don't
think it would've been thatethical.
I would not have been able tokeep all 40.
Billion.
I don't think that felt goodwith the way things were.
Yeah.
But I think I wanted to ensurethat this was a corporation that
maybe was functioning in adifferent way.
(22:32):
But I think you can get reallycaught up in that.
Yeah.
You don't wanna have to
Erin (22:35):
start, being in control of it.
Tanya (22:37):
Yeah.
And I think it maybe would'vejust been better to be
dismantled and make sureeverybody kind of gets They're,
you know, fair share kind ofthing.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And not just the, theshareholders who are like, I
need my money.
Yeah.
Erin (22:49):
All I care about is money.
Tanya (22:50):
Yeah.
But I definitely would've wanteda little bit of it, you know,
like a billion is like by farmore than enough, but, I would
say.
That's even like a quarter ofthat would be amazing.
Erin (23:02):
Especially I can't imagine that things are too expensive in
Manda Falls, New Hampshire.
Yeah.
Tanya (23:11):
Yeah.
Babe and Mr.
Deeds are together.
And then, yeah.
They just seem to be pretty,pretty happy with their life
together.
and I have to say, I think Iwould prefer to live in.
Mandrake falls.
Like, I think it would just benice to have the option to go
places.
Yeah.
You know, but I don't, I've,I've never been a big, like, oh,
I need to be in New York and Oh,I need to like, make money and
(23:33):
be around people who are likeimportant'cause they make money
kind of thing.
Right?
Erin (23:36):
I haven't either.
Sometimes I wish I was thatperson, but I like just being
slow and, one with nature andless stuff around.
Tanya (23:45):
Yeah.
No, I feel like it's a, I mean,because then you're just really
living for this.
Something that's likeimpermanent.
Mm-hmm.
I don't mean to sound allBuddhist, but like it is.
Yeah.
It's very impermanent, suremoney can improve your life to a
degree, but it's also, you know,past a certain point.
It's in being able to appreciateit.
That's just my own personalFeeling.
You feel the same way.
Yeah.
(24:09):
Yeah, this was a really funmovie, really fun introduction
to, the passing of the WinonaTorch To Adam Sandler.
Mm-hmm.
So we hope you feel the sameway.
Yeah.
Um, that, you know, you, youreally like this Adam Sandler
beginning.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And there's plenty,
Erin (24:23):
there's plenty of Adam Sandler movies to go.
So let us know if you feel ifthere's any, I did wanna read
the poem, the last poem, the,hallmark part.
Oh, okay.
So like
Tanya (24:34):
the chicken parm one.
Erin (24:36):
Well, the, was it the chicken parm one or was it the,
the one that, the hallmarkfinally became a Hallmark card.
It was the Oh, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is the one he made forBabe, and it's.
Hard to breathe.
Feels like floating so full oflove.
My heart's exploding.
Mouth is dry.
Hands are shaking.
My heart is yours for thetaking.
(24:56):
Acting weird, not myself.
Dancing around like the killKeebler elf.
Finally, time for this Porsche.
Love to know and how it feels tofall in love.
Tanya (25:08):
Love and love, I think that's awesome and amazing and
how they have different peoplereading it and being like, Aww.
And like all like, that's greatbecause it, it really is.
Erin (25:20):
nice sch slub and love slub and love'cause nothing
rhymes with love.
So you have to figure out.
Yeah.
Tanya (25:26):
And I just, I thought of something, his style of poetry
is very much like he.
He is like, you know, maybe my,my poetry is not for everyone,
but there are some people thatlike it and I think that's kind
of his philosophy on Yeah.
Who he is.
Of I'm not gonna change becauseyou think that this is the, the
way to be successful and the wayto be smart and, and you know,
kind of hoity-toity.
(25:46):
Instead, I'm gonna.
I'm just gonna be myself.
Erin (25:48):
and I love at the funeral, like when Al Sharpton is like
saying, he is like, yeah.
He's like, oh, well I have tofollow like grand rapper, you
know, whatever, you know.
But it's, I think it's it.
I think that was fun to havethat, that
Tanya (26:01):
It's a good movie.
I like it.
It was nice to revisit it andkind of see some of the things,
with.
Adam Sandler when he goes NewEngland.
I enjoy that when he does like aNew England accent because he is
originally from New York.
Erin (26:13):
Is he?
I thought he was from NewHampshire.
he's from New York now.
I don't
Tanya (26:15):
know now.
I don't know.
I may have mixed that totallyup.
I don't know actually.
Erin (26:22):
Yeah, I have to look it up now, so I'm pretty sure he's a
new Englander.
Tanya (26:26):
Oh, is he Okay.
I thought maybe he just spends alot of time in New York.
Erin (26:30):
from Manchester, New Hampshire.
Tanya (26:31):
Oh, okay.
So he is, he is.
Well, I appreciate, so he allaround, that's why we love him.
He was born
Erin (26:38):
in New York, but then I think he was raised in New
Hampshire.
Tanya (26:42):
Oh, okay.
So he is kind of got, he's gotsome, yeah.
That's, a little mix there, but
Erin (26:46):
it sounds like he's got a lot.
That's the quick look.
Did, yeah.
Yeah, I think, I don't think Iknew that.
'cause everything I've ever readabout him is that he's like a
new, like from New Hampshire.
So he must have grown up in NewHampshire
Tanya (26:57):
because he definitely has like that he does the accent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like he just kind of likethat kind of like.
Stereotypical, but we can saymaybe is true in some instances
kind of gruffness where he isjust like, eh, you know, kind of
shouts and, you know, just very,very kind of unique personality,
which we find endearing andcharming and we ourselves
(27:18):
understand we are, you know,have been surrounded by it.
Or are surrounded by it.
Yeah.
Erin (27:21):
Well it's a lot of loud people.
Tanya (27:24):
yes, for sure.
Yeah.
But, yeah, it's, it's very mucha, you know, pride thing New
England, you know, with the Patsand the, yeah, the, the
loudness, yeah.
And the Dunking Donuts to, toknow the stats
Erin (27:38):
he moved to, New Hampshire when he was six years old.
Oh, Okay.
So he is a New Englander.
Tanya (27:43):
Yeah, for sure.
Six And on is, he's a NewEnglander.
Yeah.
And he does, and he, he also inhis movie Huey Halloween or
whatever, I think that's, that'sout in Boston.
I know it was filmed in, aroundlike Salem.
Or around that area.
Massachusetts.
Right.
And he definitely has thataccent in that, and I just think
(28:07):
it's, it's just hilarious to us.
That's probably another draw ofwhy we, we love him.
Erin (28:11):
Yeah.
Well, almost all his films areNew England based, probably New
Hampshire based
Tanya (28:16):
Yeah.
He's probably less expensive tofilm there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sure he probably Knowspeople that he includes and
friends and Yeah.
You know, extras and he alwaysincludes his, like we were
saying, you know, his cast.
Yeah.
It's usually a lot of the samepeople.
Yeah.
Which I think he uses very well.
Erin (28:31):
Yeah.
He, he has like his same, likethere's usually like pretty much
everybody who is in grownupsseems to make a, you see them in
all of his filmed previous andafter too.
Tanya (28:40):
Yeah.
And some of his like formerSaturday Night Live cast
members, like around that time.
Definitely all.
Yeah, he's great.
He's, he's our, he's a treasureto us.
and again, if he's not your, ifhe's not your thing, then you
know, that's fine.
But we love him.
Mm-hmm.
Erin (28:55):
I think it took me a while to get, to really embrace him,
but then I was like, okay, Ireally like him.
He is really funny.
Tanya (29:01):
Yeah, he's, I mean, it's tough because I remember the
first movies I saw with him werelike, I saw him on Saturday
Night Live, and I was like, oh,he of funny.
But like, I didn't really get.
So just like, like, you know,kind of shouting at people
things.
Yeah.
But I was like, that's kind of,I kind of like that and I kind
of get it.
Yeah.
And, but then he did, you know,I think the first movie I saw
(29:22):
was, happy Gilmore.
Yeah.
And I was like, he is soobnoxious, but like, I couldn't
stop laughing.
Yeah.
I just loved it.
He's somebody that I thinkwhenever I see his face, he
always makes me wanna Yeah.
Watch that.
Erin (29:36):
Yeah.
In his basketball shorts andt-shirts,
Tanya (29:39):
Yeah.
He's a very casual person.
Whenever there's like, and Idon't, I don't know how, I don't
think these are staged actually.
'cause some people do stageones, but he's pretty down to
earth.
He does kind of just walk aroundand whatever clothes shows up to
award shows and just likeshorts.
Yeah.
So I like that too.
That is pretty cool.
and some of his kids arestarting to appear in some of
(30:00):
his movies or like their ownmovies like one of his daughters
was in a movie recently.
I am blanking on the name, butit was on Netflix and it was, I
think it was pretty wellreceived too.
And a couple of his daughtershad made appearances in some
movies.
Mm-hmm.
and his wife is an actress too.
She was she's in almost everyone of his movies, since they
got married.
Yeah.
Yeah.
(30:20):
I didn't know for the longesttime.
That was his wife.
And I was like, why is shealways in there?
And then I realized, I was like,oh, she never has huge
Erin (30:27):
parts, but she's in like, almost every one of his, I think
her name's Jackie.
Tanya (30:32):
So should we move on to, I'm trying to think of a, of a
fun question to ask.
Yeah.
okay.
So if, if you had the choicebetween.
Living a life in like a smallNew England town or just a small
town where you felt reallyconnected with people, with no
money.
(30:52):
Or if you went and lived and hadto run a corporation but got a
high amount of money, but wouldstill have the, the, the choice
to be able to return.
Right.
You know, and, and kind of,mm-hmm.
To, to these small towns and totravel.
What do you think you wouldchoose?
Erin (31:09):
I think I would probably choose to work in the city and
then go live in a slower,smaller town if that was an
option.
But if I had to live in the cityfull time.
But I guess if you're that rich,you get to live in like a really
nice place.
So yeah, maybe it wouldn't be sohorrible you could take your
(31:29):
helicopter back and forth.
Yeah, I would take myhelicopter.
I wouldn't have to worry abouttraffic.
I could leave the city if Iwant, so I would probably choose
the city, but as long as itdoesn't change who you are too
much.
But I don't know, it might be,it might be appealing.
For a little bit.
Tanya (31:46):
I think that's the thing.
I mean like how much would itchange you, you know, kind of
just having that going back andforth.
But I'm with you.
I think I would try this, thecity job and kind of see, you
know, is this, or just like,save up some money from that for
a couple years and then returnback.
Yeah.
You know, like I don't think Icould do that forever or even
like longer past, like a fewyears.
(32:07):
I think I'd go get some moneyand then come back and be like,
all, you know, and try to Yeah.
I was say, because I grew up inthis back in the town,
Erin (32:13):
I grew up in the small New England town and I'm not there,
so for a reason.
Yeah.
'cause things don't change andit's, you know, it's nice to
drive by and see it when you goback, but it's, you know, it, it
does kind of time does stopsometimes in those small towns.
Tanya (32:26):
Yeah.
And it is good to get.
Away.
I mean, you know, and to havethat experience, I think with
the way Mr.
Deeds had it, or deeds, I don'tknow, goes by whatever, that he
just had such a connection, sucha community.
And I don't think, I don'treally feel that way about, you
know, the town growing.
No, I don't feel it
Erin (32:43):
like, yeah, when I go back, I don't feel it.
But yeah, maybe if it was,somewhere else or something
else.
Tanya (32:49):
Yeah.
But I definitely wouldn't wannalike, spend the rest of my life
in the city and doing that.
No.
Because I think that wouldprobably change you.
But I would give it a chance tokind of say, Hey, maybe I can
make some money and invest backIn something smaller that's
closer to my values, you know?
And kind of so I wouldn't losemyself Kind of thing.
I know that sounds like a sillyquestion, but just given the
movie and the way it is Yeah.
You know, I guess if we couldsomething bet appeals and I
Erin (33:12):
guess if we could pick which city we lived in too, that
might make a different too.
Tanya (33:15):
Yeah, that's true.
Erin (33:17):
Because there's certain cities I don't think I'd wanna
live in,
Tanya (33:19):
Yeah.
I do not like big cities.
I, I don't either think big fanof it
Erin (33:23):
really increases my anxiety.
So, um, there's that.
Tanya (33:27):
Yeah, I think it's cool to experience it for a few
years, you know, that would bepretty, pretty nice, but I would
not, you know, that'd be nice tojust kind of make some money and
Get out But usually people endup getting caught in it and keep
going.
Mm-hmm.
And keep going.
But I don't know.
I think you and I would bepretty grounded.
Like being like, this is enoughkind of thing.
(33:47):
Yeah.
So, we hope you enjoyed thisdiscussion on Mr.
Deeds and Adam Sandler andWinona Rider.
As you can tell, we are hugefans.
We will never stop being it.
and we will probably bring upother people like we have with
Cher that you'll just get toknow all the different, yeah.
Erin (34:05):
So maybe now it's, Adam, we'll find out different things
about Adam Sandler.
Tanya (34:10):
We get hyper fixations on people.
Yeah.
And we will continue to do so.
And this is not limited to,well, anyone will continue to
bring up people and have, and belike, yeah, yeah.
And then just hyper fix on.
So, and then, and then you'll
Erin (34:21):
see them, then you'll see us do a show on them exactly a
few weeks later and you'll belike, oh, okay.
I remember them talking aboutthis.
Tanya (34:28):
Yeah.
So keep that pattern in mind.
Erin (34:32):
that's how a few of our things have come up.
Tanya (34:34):
Yeah.
and that's the best way it comesup organically.
We, we very much, that's howAaron and I work.
Erin (34:40):
even the whole show, I mean like our show, it's morphed
a little bit.
'cause originally we were gonnabe very straight talking about.
Therapy things and yeah, justall like, how does this work?
Let's explain therapy andtrends.
And then we're like, okay.
And then we just happened totalk about shows and we're like,
this is fun.
let's go.
what do we like?
We like eighties and ninetiesand we like other stuff and then
(35:02):
we like comedies.
So then it started to morph intothat naturally, and I think
we've kind of found our groovewith this even though my husband
calls us Cisco and Uber,
Tanya (35:11):
I don't mind that
Erin (35:12):
That's okay.
I mean, they made a lot ofmoney, so I'm fine with that.
Tanya (35:15):
I don't mind just, just talking about movies and shows
and just, you know, becausewe're always trying to, we're
not just evaluating if we likedit or not, although that comes
along, but we're always tryingto like, squeeze out mental
health themes that maybe youwouldn't have thought of.
So that's our perspective.
we just like to talk about it.
So it's fun and
Erin (35:31):
I think it works.
And I hope everyone enjoys it.
Tanya (35:34):
Yeah, I think so.
I hope so too.
And, yeah, let us know if youhave any suggestions or anything
you'd like to see us do in thefuture.
Any comments?
Any reviews, greatlyappreciated.
Erin (35:44):
sorry.
And we're not just stuck on theeighties and nineties and early
two thousands, so if there's newshows, you'll see, like we have
done new ones, so if there'sanything on any of the streaming
stuff or anything that you'relike, Hey, have you seen this
movie or this show, let us know.
Tanya (35:59):
Yeah.
love to hear and follow us onsocials.
We're on Instagram, Facebook,and now YouTube.
Yes.
So you can see our faces justfully
Erin (36:08):

when actually said they likedour video, so that's pretty
exciting.
Thank you person.
Tanya (36:18):
Thank you.
We appreciate that.
No, we love that because it's anew realm for us, But yeah, we
hope you like this and you giveit some thought or just have
some suggestions for the future.
Erin (36:28):
Yeah.
Well, thank you.
And don't forget, stay wickedand keep your mind well.
All right.
Have a great week and we'll seeyou next week.
Bye-bye.
Bye guys.
You are listening to WickedPsychotherapists, a podcast
where two psychotherapists showyou that taking care of and
learning about mental healthdoesn't have to be wicked hat.
Erin (00:31):
Hey guys, it's Tanya.
Hi, it's Erin and welcome toWicked Psychotherapist.
Tanya (00:36):
Yeah, so today we are going to be jumping into the
Adam Sandler universe.
we're gonna be talking about,today and probably next time
some Adam Sandler, moviesbecause we love him.
Mm-hmm.
And he is, hilarious and.
We don't care what you say.
Um, so some people, yeah, wemight do future movies too, if
(00:56):
we figure Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Because he is, he's a, he'ssomeone, I think I grew up just
feeling like he was hilarious,and I know he's very polarizing.
Some people like him, somepeople don't.
But we hear it withpsychotherapists.
Love him.
he maybe has some immaturehumor.
Maybe he just makes noisessometimes, but that's funny to
(01:16):
us.
So, today we're gonna talk aboutthe movie Mr.
Deeds, from 2002, where, it'sapparently we just learned this
is a remake of a depression eramovie called Mr.
Deeds Goes to town.
I only knew that'cause I saw itwritten somewhere.
Mm-hmm.
I had no idea.
Erin (01:33):
I had no idea.
I never heard of that until youmentioned it today.
Tanya (01:36):
Yeah, it was not well received as a remake of that.
But we still think this movieholds up on its own.
We didn't watch the other movie.
'cause Adam Sandler is in acategory all his own.
Mm-hmm.
and this movie also contains oneof our other favorites When On
Rider.
Oh yeah.
That's the tie in.
there's a great combination herein this movie.
(01:57):
have they done ever other moviesbefore?
I dunno.
In Winona, I can't think of any,but I feel like,
Erin (02:04):
I don't know.
'cause I was thinking DrewBarrymore when you said that,
but, so I don't know if they'vedone, no.
Him and Jennifer Aniston havedone like three movies together.
Tanya (02:13):
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
They had all the Netflix onesthat were like, apparently they,
they were.
Loved to be like hated, butpeople wanted to keep watching
them sort of thing.
Right.
Like that was the formula behindit, but Right.
This movie has a lot of comedicelements to it.
It is really, it's just a funmovie.
and really deals with some, somethemes in mental health that
(02:35):
are.
We're kind of a little bit moreon the, the outskirts, you know,
things that we usually talkabout, but definitely has some
elements there.
Mm-hmm.
so you know, the first thing isprobably just Mr.
Deeds or Deeds Longfellow.
Deeds Longfellow.
Did they ever say why his nameis Longfellow?
Erin (02:50):
Maybe it was just something to be a little fancier
or because his.
Mother knew who his uncle was,or I don't know, maybe it's some
family name.
Like, oh great, now they'regonna know my name.
Yeah.
Tanya (03:02):
he's like, yeah, it's kind of, yeah.
And he prefers to just be calleddeeds.
'cause he is kind of like aneveryday man.
He is not a fancy man in hisTown in New Hampshire.
And man Drake Falls, which ismade up, of course, He's very
much just kind of a small townguy who is very friendly.
He owns like a pizza shop.
He wants to get greeting cardspublished.
(03:24):
He's kind of got these really,overly rhymed poems that are fit
for Hallmark.
He keeps submitting them andhe's just a nice guy.
You just kind of see he'sreally, he, he cares about the
people around him.
he's not upset in the openingscene when, his friend comes in
with, the two guys that arelooking for him.
And the friend had called outand he's like, I really thought
(03:45):
you were sick, huh?
And he
Erin (03:46):
And he just keeps on it of like, you did such a good job.
You're such a good actor.
Like, just such positive praise.
Instead of like, most bosses orfriends would be like, oh my
God, you left me hanging.
What a jerk.
You know, but,
Tanya (03:58):
or like, you're fired or like, you can't do that again.
But he was just like, yeah, likethat's a great performance.
it really shows his characterthat he's, he's just got a, he's
got a good heart.
He's very much, he cares aboutpeople first before money and,
and, you know, connecting withother people.
Mm-hmm.
And he's got a good relationshipwith them.
Right.
yeah.
And, and so we, we kind of seethat we.
(04:19):
We start to, we also see thathe, unbeknownst to him, he is
related to some, you know, mediatycoon who's worth billions of
dollars, who passes away on amountain, frozen
Erin (04:33):
on Everest.
He gets on the top and he islike, I like how they depicted
it too.
It's just like he's justhugging.
Tanya (04:39):
frozen in tongue,
Erin (04:40):
So happy he made it, but just in a Popsicle now.
Tanya (04:43):
And he goes out doing what he wanted to do, and he's
got some characteristics ofdeeds, right?
you know, you can see howthey're related.
They really want to do thingsthat are, good for them.
They care about people.
they're determined to, do thingsthat make them happy, and bring
happiness.
yeah, these two kind of, Iguess, executives of, you know,
that are part of the board cometo get deeds and inform him,
(05:04):
Hey, you just inherited$40billion, you're the next closest
heir.
and deeds is like when they tellhim like, Hey, you're, you're
next in line for a 40 billionfortune.
He's like.
Oh yeah.
And then he goes on and likestarts talking about something
else.
Yeah.
And like, like that somebody hadjust said to him and he is like,
wait, did you just say that?
Like he process in his mind.
Yeah.
He's like,
Erin (05:24):
I have to deliver these pizzas.
Tanya (05:25):
he's very friendly.
He helps that older man crossthe street, literally carries
him on his back to get himthere.
he's a very affable guy.
so we kind of start to see thatthere's this buildup of, a
really great guy who has smalltown values and really cares
about people and he's about to.
Go to, the big city in New York.
I guess nobody's ever left thetown before.
(05:47):
He is like, I'm the first personever to leave, except for when
somebody went to Disney World orsomething.
Erin (05:52):
Then like it's a big parade everyone, you know, or
something like, everyone's justlike big, big, big event for him
leaving.
Tanya (05:59):
Yeah.
It's like nobody ever does that.
And then he's going in ahelicopter.
But then also
Erin (06:03):
you wonder if other people would've had quite the response
or deeds because he's so wellliked and just pretty,
Tanya (06:11):
you know, just such a big part of the community.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But then he reaches New York andkind of is just, really friendly
to everyone.
He gives them hugs, he doesn'tlike shake hands, even though
they're like these corporatetypes or like people that are
kind of around the house thatare very much kind of not used
to being treated in such afriendly manner.
And he's just, you know, he justtreats everyone the same.
(06:33):
He is, they're all equals tohim.
And yeah, it starts to set upthis kind of realization that he
carries with him something thatthese people around him probably
don't and probably, maybe neverhave or maybe have been, kind of
corrupted by corporate greed,money, things like that.
so that's kind of a big themeis, you know, integrity being
unchanged even though His placechanges.
(06:55):
he's not really, he's notchanged by that.
He has really strict kind ofmorals and values, and that's
just who he is.
He doesn't try to change that orhide that.
He's not ashamed of it.
he defends it.
when he's out on a date withBabe, who is Winona Rider, you
know, and the, the guys invitehim over kind of to, to make fun
of him essentially, right.
He's like, oh, so you guysdidn't invite me over here to
(07:17):
like, be nice.
Like you guys are really unkind,you know?
And kind of is just like, I'msorry, I'm sorry Mrs.
Dawson, you know?
And yeah, he's like, well, we'regonna leave.
And he doesn't, you know, hedoesn't do anything really, to,
to get them back except when hethen, you know, punches them
out.
That's, yeah.
That's how kind of he does getrevenge on them.
Yeah.
He, he just shows that he's,he's a, he's a good character.
(07:40):
he can't really be changed bythat even though he knows he's
inheriting$40 billion.
Right.
Which is not just life changingmoney, it's generational life
changing money.
so he's not changed by thateven.
yeah.
What other themes do we have?
Kind of hook up with Mr.
Deeds?
Erin (07:55):
well there's, the empathy, like, you know, like his huge
bit, you know, like that he haslike, you know, and probably
dealing with how it seems likeeverybody at his uncles company,
they're more driven by greed orpower in trying to navigate that
and trying to.
Figure out who he is.
(08:15):
Like outside of a lot of selfidentity, trying to figure out
who he is outside of Main, main,what is, what is the name of the
town he's in, man?
Mandrake Falls.
Mandrake Falls so he's trying tofind out who he is outside of
Mandrake Falls and being in thebig city and trying to
acclimate, but also not losingwho he is.
(08:39):
You know, it's interesting too,like he never seems like he
really gets angry at the peoplelike that he's being exposed to.
He is just like, all right, Iunder, you know, kind of almost
understanding why they're
Tanya (08:50):
acting certain ways, but I don't know.
Yeah.
And I, I almost kind of wonder,and this is, I, I have not seen
the, the movie that this waskind of, I guess.
Based on or remake of, or like aloose remake of in the, like
twenties, 19.
Mm-hmm.
1920s.
So, God.
but the, I, I wonder if it wasduring the depression era, if it
was kind of more of a, athinking of like, Hey, being a
(09:12):
good person as opposed tocapitalism is better because
mm-hmm.
There was a lot of, mm-hmm.
Maybe I think thinking that hadto go around of, you know, we
don't have very much, but youcan be appreciative of what you
have.
Erin (09:24):
And also it's like a lot of the corporate ethics and some
like, indeed seems like he istrying to take responsibility.
So even how he tries to go intothe.
Boardroom and everything.
He is like, Hey, I just wannasee if there's anything I can do
or how can I help?
And they're like, that's not,you know, like, so they're, they
get kind of annoyed with him'cause it's not how they want it
(09:45):
to work.
They're in a, you know, theywanna make money, they're trying
to sell the company, sell thestocks and deeds is like, well I
wanna try to help this oneplayer.
You know, like realize that, hehas to behave.
Do these other things.
So he's trying to really see theethical part of running a
business because that's how,he's seen it as a business owner
(10:05):
of his pizza place.
So now he is trying to use thatsame mindset into his
Tanya (10:11):
uncle's billion dollar, you know, multiple companies.
Yeah.
Like not seeing that the, youknow, he, he really is a, a very
caring.
Manager or boss, you know,owner.
Right.
And, and really, you know, willgive out pizzas for free to, to
people and help people out.
but in this instance, this isall about yeah, how much money
can we squeeze out?
The little person.
(10:31):
And, I think that's, that'seventually what brings him back
to kind of fight for that money.
He walks away from it and says,just donate it to whatever you
think is, is worthy and.
You know, when he hears, oh,well actually, you know, what's
his name?
Eyebrows, Peter Gallagher's.
Character.
Character.
I can't think of his name.
Cedar or something?
Yeah.
Erin (10:50):
At the, it's Cedar.
Tanya (10:51):
Mr.
Cedar.
or see, I don't know.
I don't know.
Whatever eyebrow dude.
He was like, Chuck er.
Yeah.
He, when he decides to sell offthe cut, he's going to make a
vote to sell it off in pieces,and then like 50,000 people are
gonna lose their jobs.
And that's what really touches,Mr.
Deed's heart.
And he's like, oh no, that's,that's not right.
he's definitely very much like,you know, it's the heart versus
(11:13):
the head Kind of thing.
Erin (11:14):
Yeah.
'cause he sees'em as people.
He doesn't just see'em as.
Financial obligations or how,how much money are we gonna lose
or how much money are we gonnamake?
Not having these people, he'sseeing them, oh wait, each one
of them is a person and theyhave a family and they have
responsibilities.
That's probably how, going backto his one employee who was fake
and sick, he's probably like,ah, you're doing so good.
(11:36):
This is, you're so funny.
But he's probably not gonna firehim because he knows his friend.
That's probably all his.
Whatever he was doing at the,airport, you'd know sitting in
the chair.
Oh, yeah.
Tanya (11:48):
Yeah.
And it's his friend and he likecares about him, so he is like,
oh, all right.
Well, he just, he doesn't evenget mad about it.
He's just totally, he's finewith it.
But, yeah.
And I think that, you know,coming back to, to this, it's
just a completely differentworldview.
It's.
Really kind of the David andGoliath kind of mentality of
like, you know, this smallerperson, you know, smaller person
(12:10):
values taking on Kind of thismega Goliath of, you know,
what's, you know, kind of the,the usual in business.
And he kind of turns it on itshead and doesn't want really
anything to do with it if it'sgonna be, You know, these types
of politics.
And I think he realizes that,and that's why he is just like,
I don't want this.
Like, this isn't my thing, youknow?
and there's also another piecethat we haven't really touched
(12:31):
on, which is Winona's characterBabe, which I do not understand
why her name is Babe, but it is,yeah.
Erin (12:37):
what the nickname.
Barbara maybe, I don't know.
What would you call ba, likewhat would a nickname for Babe
be like if someone's real name,I don't know.
Or maybe their parent, herparents
Tanya (12:46):
Or her parents have no idea named her babe.
Erin (12:48):
I don't know.
Tanya (12:49):
Yeah, I was like, that's a strange, yeah.
Okay.
And plus that sounds very, I, Imay be totally off here, but
that sounds kind of likesouthern to me.
Mm-hmm.
But she didn't seem, I know shethink we're looking too much
into it.
Erin (13:02):
it's movie land.
Tanya (13:04):
But yeah, she, she initially just, you know, she's
a, a, a producer at, at a,newspaper and she's.
Basically just trying to get thestory on him.
She's wearing like a hiddencamera, but then in the process
she falls in love with him, seeshow much of a good person he is,
right?
See how much he, he cares aboutpeople.
And, but you know, with thepowers that be and people
(13:24):
working to, to kind of make himfeel sad and wanna walk away,
they disclose that and mm-hmm.
Basically he's hurt and he justkind of wants nothing to do with
this.
Right.
He's very heartbroken.
He's never really, apparently heis never really dated too much
and so.
This is just a, a big heartbreakfor him.
Yeah.
Because he's very innocent.
He doesn't really, you know, hetakes things at face value.
(13:45):
He sees the good in everyone.
Erin (13:46):
Well, it also makes you realize how trusting deeds is
when all of those.
The videos come when he is withJohn McEnroe and they're like
being, crazy.
and he is just like, how didpeople get this video?
The shots.
I mean like who else was there?
Babe was there.
Tanya (14:04):
That's what I was thinking too.
Erin (14:05):
Like he's just so trusting and he is just like, it just
even with when he was rescuingthe woman in HER seven cats and
he is just like, how did thiscome, you know, that's so weird.
Like those shots, it's just, youknow, never would think'cause
he's just so trusting and just,you know, like, no one would
hurt me or, you know.
This person has her bestinterest, you know, has, has my
(14:25):
best interest, or she's myfriend, or I'm dating her.
Tanya (14:27):
Yeah, he really, he really likes her.
and it's funny because you wouldthink that would be like, oh, it
could have been anyone nowadayswith who, everybody has a phone.
But it just wasn't like thatback in 2002.
It really would've had to havebeen, you know, somebody doing
that intentionally, but He justdoesn't think that way.
he's very naive and open andtrusting.
You know, she realizes she loveshim, but he figures out, oh,
(14:51):
you've been lying to me.
you're not a school nurse.
Erin (14:53):
with Dr.
Pepper, he brings
Tanya (14:54):
her back to like her, her hometown of Winfield V or
Erin (14:58):
Yeah, I think it's Winchester Field v Iowa.
Tanya (15:01):
Just that sounds so made up.
Although I'm sure there is acity like that out there, that
everyone looks at
Erin (15:05):
her like they're insane when they go into like the
little diner.
Tanya (15:07):
remember her as like the girl who had a hump.
And he's like, no, you had a bighump.
Erin (15:11):
yes, that was me.
Tanya (15:13):
Yeah.
Erin (15:14):
It's like, yeah.
'cause she had to stay
Tanya (15:15):
with the lie.
Yeah.
And then they go to the home andshe's like, yep, this is where
we would, you know, go to thedining room and have the food.
And, you know, just afraid he islike, ah, these three, like
young kids, let them.
it's a really, I mean, it reallydoes show, there's so many
(15:37):
instances where he could havenoticed, Hey, this person is not
telling me the truth, butbecause of who he is as a
person, he trusts people.
He really sees the good in them.
He does not see that.
And I think when he found thatout, it really, it really hurt
him.
And he really felt like, oh, Ican't even be in this place.
This is not a good place.
I need to go home.
Right.
And so he, he goes back and heonly wants to go and, and.
(16:02):
You know, go back to New Yorkwhen he hears that, yeah, those
people are gonna be fired and hecares about that.
but yeah, there's a lot of, youknow, kind of looking for some
of the mental health themes area little bit of a stretch, but
they're definitely there.
There's always some there.
Erin (16:16):
yeah.
With humans, you know, thereprobably is.
There's always some theme.
Yeah.
we just wanted to like.
Go to Mr.
D's'cause it has Winona Rider,but then we're thinking we wanna
kind of switch to Adam Sandlerfor a little bit too, because
that's kind of how our brainworks too.
Tanya (16:32):
Yeah.
It's a nice handoff, you know,like Winona to to Adam and yeah.
Erin (16:38):
I think it was cute, but I don't think it was.
As good as she's had with otherpeople.
Like, you know, if we go back toour Johnny Depp talks or stuff
Tanya (16:49):
oh, that was tremendous.
Erin (16:50):
I think they had fun together.
You could tell they probably,it's probably a fun, you know,
if fun way to work together.
And I think it was believable.
Tanya (17:00):
I think so too.
I think they did kind of havemore of a friend.
Like a fun friend vibe kind ofthing, but that definitely did
work for that because it seemedlike he was very inexperienced
and that's kind of, Who he wouldclick with.
But yeah, it worked.
Yeah, for sure.
and I think that this was, it'sjust a fun movie I think to
(17:22):
watch and to see.
You know I think for a lot ofpeople they might be kind of
wondering like, why would hejust give up$40 billion?
I was one of those.
Yeah.
Because I was like, wow.
I would probably take like abillion and be like, Hey, I'm
set for life.
And then maybe they could,Donate the rest
Erin (17:40):
Or give it to all the employees,
Tanya (17:40):
I don't think I'd want the whole response or to, to
stay in New York or the wholeresponsibility of managing that.
'cause that just, that seemslike that would definitely
change Charact.
Erin (17:48):
That you'd have to be in New York.
That's not, yeah.
Tanya (17:50):
But I mean, I don't know for him to say, you know, it
sounds like he really likes hislife and he really sees the
value of like, connecting withpeople.
Mm-hmm.
There is a reality.
No matter what you do, you doneed money.
I mean, you know, maybe not abillion.
Right?
But you need some stuff.
And like even just to helppeople, you need money.
So you need that.
Yeah.
And especially'cause
Erin (18:09):
it does seem like a lot of his heart is, how can I help
people for free?
So you, why not figure out a waythat he could have some of that,
maybe not a billion, maybesomething less, because maybe
that feels too much.
But figure out a way, like, letme make sure my business is paid
off, and how can I start anonprofit giving free pizzas
(18:31):
away or something, you know,whatever it is that he wants to
do with that or.
Tanya (18:36):
Yeah.
Or like a, you know, communitycenter for his town or for like
other places or something likethat.
Could have been, that would'vebeen right up his alley, I
think.
Mm-hmm.
Erin (18:44):
Yeah.
Definitely not leaving the town,you know, because it's Scary for
everybody.
I'll just donate it to
Tanya (18:48):
whoever you know, and I mean, so I have a logistical
question, and this is probablyso stupid.
I don't know why I overanalyzestuff that is not real and does
not matter.
Okay.
And is the early two thousandsof it all, but so he donated.
He, he said, just, you know,what, what do you recommend?
And they were like the UnitedNegro College Fund.
Right.
You know, like, which I do notbelieve that's what it's called
(19:08):
anymore.
but you know, that was what itwas called back then.
And I don't know, maybe it's,but he, so, so that money, you
see the guy open it and he islike, ah, he just like, he's
like, you know, that's likelife-changing money.
Yeah.
For, and you know, in terms oflike, for any, any program would
be crazy, you know.
So it's already donated.
So when they figure out that thebutler is actually his, like,
(19:30):
you know, secret love child orwhatever, what money is left?
None.
because it's already given away,right?
Erin (19:36):
Well, no, I would think that check would bounce, because
then it would all go back to theoriginal, you know, like to, You
know, the sneaky guy?
What is his name?
I'm very sneaky.
the guy who's the father?
Who's the son of the uncle.
Tanya (19:48):
Oh, Emilio.
Emilio.
The Butler.
Yes.
Yeah.
But why would it, I mean,'causeit was there and they thought at
the time it was, it was his.
Mm-hmm.
Right.
And so, I mean, it would be sentto this.
I know this is completelyridiculous.
I am like trying to find out anyverse.
Yeah, I dunno.
Erin (20:04):
Logistically, they'd probably have to take some of
the money back or tell thenonprofit, the corporation, you
know, like, Hey, I know we justdonated 40 million, but we're
gonna have to change that alittle.
Tanya (20:19):
I mean, I would think so too, but I think that once
that's a donate, like that'skind of hard to get.
I don't know.
Maybe they can't, but I'm surelegally,
Erin (20:24):
like in real life, you, if you commit to a donation, You
probably have to give it, but Idon't know.
Tanya (20:30):
matter if it's, you know, like, but then again, maybe the,
because it wasn't legally Theright source.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he,
Erin (20:36):
he, so deeds really didn't have any say on how the money
could be donated or couldn't be
Tanya (20:43):
Then they'd be like, oh, well your, that's actually null
and void.
You have to say that.
Yeah, this isn't really, isn'tkind of crappy.
You know, you get excited andthen you're not.
Yeah, yeah.
and then Emilio decides to givehim, he's like, what can I give
you?
And he's like, I just wanna beyour friend.
He's like, what about a billion?
He's like, all right, I'll takeit.
And I was like, okay.
Why would you not take that?
Erin (21:00):
Yeah.
Well maybe.
'cause it feels different.
'cause now this is his, um,cousin.
What is it?
What is he to him?
Tanya (21:06):
Uncle, so he was his great, uncle, I think.
Right?
Erin (21:10):
his great uncle has a son and then that would be his
uncle, right?
I don't know.
So he's the
Tanya (21:17):
great nephew.
Erin (21:18):
Yeah.
Tanya (21:18):
And then this, I have to like draw this out and then use
the sun.
Yeah.
I think it would be.
Erin (21:24):
So Tanya's
Tanya (21:25):
doing
Erin (21:26):
a family.
Family, a genogram.
Genogram.
Tanya (21:28):
don't, honestly.
You'll have to have to raise itup
Erin (21:30):
so we can see in case we do a clip of it.
Tanya (21:32):
So this is on a scribble piece of paper.
if anyone knows,
Erin (21:35):
Would Emilio be the uncle or the cousin or this, you know,
Tanya (21:38):
I can't, my brain is not, I can't think of it.
But maybe he accepted the
Erin (21:42):
billion from him because it's, yeah.
'cause it feels less slimy.
It's not from a big corporation,it's from someone really kind.
Tanya (21:49):
and someone who he knows is gonna keep his father's, like
someone who really cared abouthis, uncle, great uncle or
whatever.
Yeah.
Who's, you know, Emilio'sfather.
Like, he actually really admiredhim, you know, along with feet
and stuff.
Yeah.
So, he knows that this is ofgood coming from a good source.
So that.
Yeah.
That, that does kind of changeit, you know, and I think that
also speaks to Mr.
(22:10):
Deed's ethics.
and his morals of this doesn'tfeel so bad.
And he's like, all right, I'lltake a billion, you know, kind
of thing.
Which I gotta say, if I were inhis place, I don't, I don't
think it would've been thatethical.
I would not have been able tokeep all 40.
Billion.
I don't think that felt goodwith the way things were.
Yeah.
But I think I wanted to ensurethat this was a corporation that
maybe was functioning in adifferent way.
(22:32):
But I think you can get reallycaught up in that.
Yeah.
You don't wanna have to
Erin (22:35):
start, being in control of it.
Tanya (22:37):
Yeah.
And I think it maybe would'vejust been better to be
dismantled and make sureeverybody kind of gets They're,
you know, fair share kind ofthing.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And not just the, theshareholders who are like, I
need my money.
Yeah.
Erin (22:49):
All I care about is money.
Tanya (22:50):
Yeah.
But I definitely would've wanteda little bit of it, you know,
like a billion is like by farmore than enough, but, I would
say.
That's even like a quarter ofthat would be amazing.
Erin (23:02):
Especially I can't imagine that things are too expensive in
Manda Falls, New Hampshire.
Yeah.
Tanya (23:11):
Yeah.
Babe and Mr.
Deeds are together.
And then, yeah.
They just seem to be pretty,pretty happy with their life
together.
and I have to say, I think Iwould prefer to live in.
Mandrake falls.
Like, I think it would just benice to have the option to go
places.
Yeah.
You know, but I don't, I've,I've never been a big, like, oh,
I need to be in New York and Oh,I need to like, make money and
(23:33):
be around people who are likeimportant'cause they make money
kind of thing.
Right?
Erin (23:36):
I haven't either.
Sometimes I wish I was thatperson, but I like just being
slow and, one with nature andless stuff around.
Tanya (23:45):
Yeah.
No, I feel like it's a, I mean,because then you're just really
living for this.
Something that's likeimpermanent.
Mm-hmm.
I don't mean to sound allBuddhist, but like it is.
Yeah.
It's very impermanent, suremoney can improve your life to a
degree, but it's also, you know,past a certain point.
It's in being able to appreciateit.
That's just my own personalFeeling.
You feel the same way.
Yeah.
(24:09):
Yeah, this was a really funmovie, really fun introduction
to, the passing of the WinonaTorch To Adam Sandler.
Mm-hmm.
So we hope you feel the sameway.
Yeah.
Um, that, you know, you, youreally like this Adam Sandler
beginning.
Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
And there's plenty,
Erin (24:23):
there's plenty of Adam Sandler movies to go.
So let us know if you feel ifthere's any, I did wanna read
the poem, the last poem, the,hallmark part.
Oh, okay.
So like
Tanya (24:34):
the chicken parm one.
Erin (24:36):
Well, the, was it the chicken parm one or was it the,
the one that, the hallmarkfinally became a Hallmark card.
It was the Oh, right, right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So this is the one he made forBabe, and it's.
Hard to breathe.
Feels like floating so full oflove.
My heart's exploding.
Mouth is dry.
Hands are shaking.
My heart is yours for thetaking.
(24:56):
Acting weird, not myself.
Dancing around like the killKeebler elf.
Finally, time for this Porsche.
Love to know and how it feels tofall in love.
Tanya (25:08):
Love and love, I think that's awesome and amazing and
how they have different peoplereading it and being like, Aww.
And like all like, that's greatbecause it, it really is.
Erin (25:20):
nice sch slub and love slub and love'cause nothing
rhymes with love.
So you have to figure out.
Yeah.
Tanya (25:26):
And I just, I thought of something, his style of poetry
is very much like he.
He is like, you know, maybe my,my poetry is not for everyone,
but there are some people thatlike it and I think that's kind
of his philosophy on Yeah.
Who he is.
Of I'm not gonna change becauseyou think that this is the, the
way to be successful and the wayto be smart and, and you know,
kind of hoity-toity.
(25:46):
Instead, I'm gonna.
I'm just gonna be myself.
Erin (25:48):
and I love at the funeral, like when Al Sharpton is like
saying, he is like, yeah.
He's like, oh, well I have tofollow like grand rapper, you
know, whatever, you know.
But it's, I think it's it.
I think that was fun to havethat, that
Tanya (26:01):
It's a good movie.
I like it.
It was nice to revisit it andkind of see some of the things,
with.
Adam Sandler when he goes NewEngland.
I enjoy that when he does like aNew England accent because he is
originally from New York.
Erin (26:13):
Is he?
I thought he was from NewHampshire.
he's from New York now.
I don't
Tanya (26:15):
know now.
I don't know.
I may have mixed that totallyup.
I don't know actually.
Erin (26:22):
Yeah, I have to look it up now, so I'm pretty sure he's a
new Englander.
Tanya (26:26):
Oh, is he Okay.
I thought maybe he just spends alot of time in New York.
Erin (26:30):
from Manchester, New Hampshire.
Tanya (26:31):
Oh, okay.
So he is, he is.
Well, I appreciate, so he allaround, that's why we love him.
He was born
Erin (26:38):
in New York, but then I think he was raised in New
Hampshire.
Tanya (26:42):
Oh, okay.
So he is kind of got, he's gotsome, yeah.
That's, a little mix there, but
Erin (26:46):
it sounds like he's got a lot.
That's the quick look.
Did, yeah.
Yeah, I think, I don't think Iknew that.
'cause everything I've ever readabout him is that he's like a
new, like from New Hampshire.
So he must have grown up in NewHampshire
Tanya (26:57):
because he definitely has like that he does the accent.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And like he just kind of likethat kind of like.
Stereotypical, but we can saymaybe is true in some instances
kind of gruffness where he isjust like, eh, you know, kind of
shouts and, you know, just very,very kind of unique personality,
which we find endearing andcharming and we ourselves
(27:18):
understand we are, you know,have been surrounded by it.
Or are surrounded by it.
Yeah.
Erin (27:21):
Well it's a lot of loud people.
Tanya (27:24):
yes, for sure.
Yeah.
But, yeah, it's, it's very mucha, you know, pride thing New
England, you know, with the Patsand the, yeah, the, the
loudness, yeah.
And the Dunking Donuts to, toknow the stats
Erin (27:38):
he moved to, New Hampshire when he was six years old.
Oh, Okay.
So he is a New Englander.
Tanya (27:43):
Yeah, for sure.
Six And on is, he's a NewEnglander.
Yeah.
And he does, and he, he also inhis movie Huey Halloween or
whatever, I think that's, that'sout in Boston.
I know it was filmed in, aroundlike Salem.
Or around that area.
Massachusetts.
Right.
And he definitely has thataccent in that, and I just think
(28:07):
it's, it's just hilarious to us.
That's probably another draw ofwhy we, we love him.
Erin (28:11):
Yeah.
Well, almost all his films areNew England based, probably New
Hampshire based
Tanya (28:16):
Yeah.
He's probably less expensive tofilm there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I'm sure he probably Knowspeople that he includes and
friends and Yeah.
You know, extras and he alwaysincludes his, like we were
saying, you know, his cast.
Yeah.
It's usually a lot of the samepeople.
Yeah.
Which I think he uses very well.
Erin (28:31):
Yeah.
He, he has like his same, likethere's usually like pretty much
everybody who is in grownupsseems to make a, you see them in
all of his filmed previous andafter too.
Tanya (28:40):
Yeah.
And some of his like formerSaturday Night Live cast
members, like around that time.
Definitely all.
Yeah, he's great.
He's, he's our, he's a treasureto us.
and again, if he's not your, ifhe's not your thing, then you
know, that's fine.
But we love him.
Mm-hmm.
Erin (28:55):
I think it took me a while to get, to really embrace him,
but then I was like, okay, Ireally like him.
He is really funny.
Tanya (29:01):
Yeah, he's, I mean, it's tough because I remember the
first movies I saw with him werelike, I saw him on Saturday
Night Live, and I was like, oh,he of funny.
But like, I didn't really get.
So just like, like, you know,kind of shouting at people
things.
Yeah.
But I was like, that's kind of,I kind of like that and I kind
of get it.
Yeah.
And, but then he did, you know,I think the first movie I saw
(29:22):
was, happy Gilmore.
Yeah.
And I was like, he is soobnoxious, but like, I couldn't
stop laughing.
Yeah.
I just loved it.
He's somebody that I thinkwhenever I see his face, he
always makes me wanna Yeah.
Watch that.
Erin (29:36):
Yeah.
In his basketball shorts andt-shirts,
Tanya (29:39):
Yeah.
He's a very casual person.
Whenever there's like, and Idon't, I don't know how, I don't
think these are staged actually.
'cause some people do stageones, but he's pretty down to
earth.
He does kind of just walk aroundand whatever clothes shows up to
award shows and just likeshorts.
Yeah.
So I like that too.
That is pretty cool.
and some of his kids arestarting to appear in some of
(30:00):
his movies or like their ownmovies like one of his daughters
was in a movie recently.
I am blanking on the name, butit was on Netflix and it was, I
think it was pretty wellreceived too.
And a couple of his daughtershad made appearances in some
movies.
Mm-hmm.
and his wife is an actress too.
She was she's in almost everyone of his movies, since they
got married.
Yeah.
Yeah.
(30:20):
I didn't know for the longesttime.
That was his wife.
And I was like, why is shealways in there?
And then I realized, I was like,oh, she never has huge
Erin (30:27):
parts, but she's in like, almost every one of his, I think
her name's Jackie.
Tanya (30:32):
So should we move on to, I'm trying to think of a, of a
fun question to ask.
Yeah.
okay.
So if, if you had the choicebetween.
Living a life in like a smallNew England town or just a small
town where you felt reallyconnected with people, with no
money.
(30:52):
Or if you went and lived and hadto run a corporation but got a
high amount of money, but wouldstill have the, the, the choice
to be able to return.
Right.
You know, and, and kind of,mm-hmm.
To, to these small towns and totravel.
What do you think you wouldchoose?
Erin (31:09):
I think I would probably choose to work in the city and
then go live in a slower,smaller town if that was an
option.
But if I had to live in the cityfull time.
But I guess if you're that rich,you get to live in like a really
nice place.
So yeah, maybe it wouldn't be sohorrible you could take your
(31:29):
helicopter back and forth.
Yeah, I would take myhelicopter.
I wouldn't have to worry abouttraffic.
I could leave the city if Iwant, so I would probably choose
the city, but as long as itdoesn't change who you are too
much.
But I don't know, it might be,it might be appealing.
For a little bit.
Tanya (31:46):
I think that's the thing.
I mean like how much would itchange you, you know, kind of
just having that going back andforth.
But I'm with you.
I think I would try this, thecity job and kind of see, you
know, is this, or just like,save up some money from that for
a couple years and then returnback.
Yeah.
You know, like I don't think Icould do that forever or even
like longer past, like a fewyears.
(32:07):
I think I'd go get some moneyand then come back and be like,
all, you know, and try to Yeah.
I was say, because I grew up inthis back in the town,
Erin (32:13):
I grew up in the small New England town and I'm not there,
so for a reason.
Yeah.
'cause things don't change andit's, you know, it's nice to
drive by and see it when you goback, but it's, you know, it, it
does kind of time does stopsometimes in those small towns.
Tanya (32:26):
Yeah.
And it is good to get.
Away.
I mean, you know, and to havethat experience, I think with
the way Mr.
Deeds had it, or deeds, I don'tknow, goes by whatever, that he
just had such a connection, sucha community.
And I don't think, I don'treally feel that way about, you
know, the town growing.
No, I don't feel it
Erin (32:43):
like, yeah, when I go back, I don't feel it.
But yeah, maybe if it was,somewhere else or something
else.
Tanya (32:49):
Yeah.
But I definitely wouldn't wannalike, spend the rest of my life
in the city and doing that.
No.
Because I think that wouldprobably change you.
But I would give it a chance tokind of say, Hey, maybe I can
make some money and invest backIn something smaller that's
closer to my values, you know?
And kind of so I wouldn't losemyself Kind of thing.
I know that sounds like a sillyquestion, but just given the
movie and the way it is Yeah.
You know, I guess if we couldsomething bet appeals and I
Erin (33:12):
guess if we could pick which city we lived in too, that
might make a different too.
Tanya (33:15):
Yeah, that's true.
Erin (33:17):
Because there's certain cities I don't think I'd wanna
live in,
Tanya (33:19):
Yeah.
I do not like big cities.
I, I don't either think big fanof it
Erin (33:23):
really increases my anxiety.
So, um, there's that.
Tanya (33:27):
Yeah, I think it's cool to experience it for a few
years, you know, that would bepretty, pretty nice, but I would
not, you know, that'd be nice tojust kind of make some money and
Get out But usually people endup getting caught in it and keep
going.
Mm-hmm.
And keep going.
But I don't know.
I think you and I would bepretty grounded.
Like being like, this is enoughkind of thing.
(33:47):
Yeah.
So, we hope you enjoyed thisdiscussion on Mr.
Deeds and Adam Sandler andWinona Rider.
As you can tell, we are hugefans.
We will never stop being it.
and we will probably bring upother people like we have with
Cher that you'll just get toknow all the different, yeah.
Erin (34:05):
So maybe now it's, Adam, we'll find out different things
about Adam Sandler.
Tanya (34:10):
We get hyper fixations on people.
Yeah.
And we will continue to do so.
And this is not limited to,well, anyone will continue to
bring up people and have, and belike, yeah, yeah.
And then just hyper fix on.
So, and then, and then you'll
Erin (34:21):
see them, then you'll see us do a show on them exactly a
few weeks later and you'll belike, oh, okay.
I remember them talking aboutthis.
Tanya (34:28):
Yeah.
So keep that pattern in mind.
Erin (34:32):
that's how a few of our things have come up.
Tanya (34:34):
Yeah.
and that's the best way it comesup organically.
We, we very much, that's howAaron and I work.
Erin (34:40):
even the whole show, I mean like our show, it's morphed
a little bit.
'cause originally we were gonnabe very straight talking about.
Therapy things and yeah, justall like, how does this work?
Let's explain therapy andtrends.
And then we're like, okay.
And then we just happened totalk about shows and we're like,
this is fun.
let's go.
what do we like?
We like eighties and ninetiesand we like other stuff and then
(35:02):
we like comedies.
So then it started to morph intothat naturally, and I think
we've kind of found our groovewith this even though my husband
calls us Cisco and Uber,
Tanya (35:11):
I don't mind that
Erin (35:12):
That's okay.
I mean, they made a lot ofmoney, so I'm fine with that.
Tanya (35:15):
I don't mind just, just talking about movies and shows
and just, you know, becausewe're always trying to, we're
not just evaluating if we likedit or not, although that comes
along, but we're always tryingto like, squeeze out mental
health themes that maybe youwouldn't have thought of.
So that's our perspective.
we just like to talk about it.
So it's fun and
Erin (35:31):
I think it works.
And I hope everyone enjoys it.
Tanya (35:34):
Yeah, I think so.
I hope so too.
And, yeah, let us know if youhave any suggestions or anything
you'd like to see us do in thefuture.
Any comments?
Any reviews, greatlyappreciated.
