- 2:21Speaker 3: was very traumatic for you. Andy.
- 2:24Speaker 4: You know it's the season of giving. But there's a
- 2:26Speaker 4: lot of creeps out there trying to go fund steal money.
- 2:29Speaker 4: So watch out for the cuffs.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Yeah, I watch you meant to say, watch out cup
- 2:35Speaker 1: for the those bad people.
- 2:39Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:39Speaker 1: But anyways, no, we're here. In the past, Andy has
- 2:42Speaker 1: come on to talk about mostly like eighties movies, right,
- 2:49Speaker 1: mostly eighties movies mostly, Yeah, forgot about but that's like
- 2:57Speaker 1: based on eighties movies. So yeah, it is, but either
- 3:01Speaker 1: really dumb action movies or recently we dabbled into sort
- 3:07Speaker 1: of rom com like Dirty Dancing. We talked about Dirty Dancing.
- 3:10Speaker 1: It's not really a brom comm it's more drama. Yeah,
- 3:14Speaker 1: but we the three of us were discussing. I don't
- 3:17Speaker 1: know how we got here from It was like swazy.
- 3:20Speaker 1: We were talking about maybe doing Ghost and then I
- 3:23Speaker 1: don't know how we got to Pretty Woman.
- 3:25Speaker 3: But have all of us not seen it?
- 3:29Speaker 2: I had?
- 3:31Speaker 4: I had seen it, had twice.
- 3:34Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I don't we agree on Woman.
- 3:40Speaker 5: We brought it up on Wayne's World. It was brought
- 3:43Speaker 5: up and I was like, I hadn't seen it.
- 3:45Speaker 2: Neither had you?
- 3:48Speaker 4: Okay AND's pick? This was Ryan's pick.
- 3:52Speaker 1: Oh, you're right, you're right because we were discussing what
- 3:55Speaker 1: we should do. I wanted to do Stone Calls during
- 3:57Speaker 1: Brian Bosworth and right is just a Pretty Woman, which
- 4:01Speaker 1: is a slightly better known film.
- 4:06Speaker 4: The choices, Yeah, those are two really good choices.
- 4:10Speaker 1: And we always say here in the basement that if
- 4:15Speaker 1: you triple your budget for a film, then you're considered
- 4:18Speaker 1: a success or. It's like a win by the studio.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So pretty Woman, we've had We've talked about some staggering
- 4:25Speaker 1: movies recently. Pretty Woman had a budget of fourteen million
- 4:29Speaker 1: dollars and then Andy, do you know how much?
- 4:32Speaker 3: It made.
- 4:35Speaker 4: Three hundred, four hundred.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And sixty three million dollars, So it made what is that?
- 4:42Speaker 1: What's the mat there for your an accountant? For sixty
- 4:45Speaker 1: three divided by fourteen It made thirty three times its budget,
- 4:49Speaker 1: so we said three times its budgets. As a success,
- 4:52Speaker 1: this made thirty three times its budget.
- 4:56Speaker 5: I was reading today it was the highest grossing lie
- 5:00Speaker 5: action movie made by Disney ever at that time.
- 5:03Speaker 1: Wow, isn't the highest grossing romantic comedy.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Still, it's gotta be. It has to be.
- 5:12Speaker 1: It is the number one romantic comedy by the highest
- 5:14Speaker 1: estimated domestic tickets sold, slightly ahead of My big fact
- 5:18Speaker 1: Greek wedding.
- 5:18Speaker 3: That's kind of funny that it's too.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a huge percentage difference too. Yeah.
- 5:24Speaker 1: At the time of its release, it was the fifth
- 5:26Speaker 1: highest grossing film ever.
- 5:30Speaker 3: But it was released in nineteen ninety.
- 5:32Speaker 2: R rated romantic comedy.
- 5:34Speaker 1: I think this is a really weak are like this
- 5:37Speaker 1: could have easy.
- 5:39Speaker 2: I was very surprised it was rated R I like
- 5:40Speaker 2: double checked it. I was very surprised by that.
- 5:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 5:42Speaker 4: Yeah, Julia just speaks to international audiences. She's global.
- 5:48Speaker 1: Well, this is directed by this is directed by Rob
- 5:52Speaker 1: Ryan or another curse of the podcast.
- 5:53Speaker 3: Nope, it wasn't. It wasn't directed too soon.
- 5:59Speaker 1: Come on, after what Trump tweeted, I can say whatever
- 6:01Speaker 1: I want about Rob Bryner.
- 6:02Speaker 3: I'm not getting canceled.
- 6:04Speaker 4: It's twenty twenty six, Yeah it is.
- 6:06Speaker 3: That was last year.

- 6:38Speaker 3: The trilogy? Yeah? Oh, he is dead.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Okay, I didn't know if he was dead or not.
- 6:42Speaker 1: He died in twenty sixteen. Oh wow, okay, he's eighty one.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Oh his sister.
- 6:49Speaker 1: I knew that he was related to Penny Marshall. Somehow,
- 6:52Speaker 1: it is.
- 6:53Speaker 3: It's his sister.
- 6:54Speaker 2: They all they play husband and wife in Hocus Pocus.
- 6:57Speaker 1: But okay, strange. He's just acted in a bunch of
- 7:01Speaker 1: stuff too.
- 7:02Speaker 2: Yeah, very much so.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Yeah, he's in this movie for hot second.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he has a cameo, right, he's.
- 7:11Speaker 4: The homeless guy that doesn't give directions at the beginning.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Oh, this is Stallan's house, which we have a comment
- 7:17Speaker 1: about that later. And it was starring Richie Gia and
- 7:24Speaker 1: then relatively unknown Julia Roberts. She was twenty one years old.
- 7:28Speaker 1: She'd only been a Mystic Pizza like, she was kind
- 7:31Speaker 1: of unknown. She just because of Mistic Pizza in this
- 7:34Speaker 1: movie launched her into the absolute stratosphere explosion. It also
- 7:39Speaker 1: stars Ralph Bellamy in his last role before he died,
- 7:44Speaker 1: Hector Alizondo, who's still around like he's been in a
- 7:47Speaker 1: million things.
- 7:48Speaker 2: You'll recognize that, Gary Marshall regular yep. Oh yeah, okay,
- 7:54Speaker 2: very much so.
- 7:56Speaker 1: He was in How High Andy.
- 7:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the coach.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Jason Alexander, and Laura san Giacomo, who I remember very
- 8:05Speaker 1: well from Just Shoot Me. She was one of the
- 8:07Speaker 1: she was like pretty much the female lead of the
- 8:10Speaker 1: show and Just Shoot Me, which I was a big
- 8:11Speaker 1: fan of. Yeah, and I I don't know why I've
- 8:18Speaker 1: never seen this movie. I mean, everybody has holes in
- 8:20Speaker 1: their game. They're like, I still haven't seen Apocalypse now everybody. Yeah,
- 8:26Speaker 1: they're really famous movies, like Ryan, what's another hole in
- 8:29Speaker 1: your game movie?
- 8:30Speaker 3: Other than Pretty Woman?
- 8:32Speaker 2: Oh my god?
- 8:33Speaker 5: We named like three of them during Wayne's World. Oh
- 8:38Speaker 5: Gone with the Wind and it's an older one, never seen.
- 8:41Speaker 3: That, never seen them in the Wind?
- 8:44Speaker 2: Yeah big. I'm not saying like modern ones, like big ones.
- 8:49Speaker 2: It's always weird.
- 8:52Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I can't think of it, but we I
- 8:53Speaker 5: know we mentioned a few on Wayne's World.
- 8:56Speaker 1: But and I just I don't know. I'm not a
- 8:58Speaker 1: big Julia Roberts fan, never have ben, I just had no,
- 9:03Speaker 1: not like a huge Richard Gear fan.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I don't.
- 9:05Speaker 1: I don't hate either of them, but I'm not like, oh,
- 9:07Speaker 1: Richard Gear, you know what I mean? There are movies
- 9:11Speaker 1: that I like, The Jackal Riacher.
- 9:12Speaker 3: Gear is the main character in that. Is that the
- 9:15Speaker 3: one where he's Irish Ryan?
- 9:17Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yep, but he was like an established star
- 9:22Speaker 1: at this point, so yeah, we can talk about Richard
- 9:28Speaker 1: Gear and the movie poster he does not have gray hair.
- 9:31Speaker 1: I don't know who they thought they were tricking with
- 9:33Speaker 1: that one.
- 9:35Speaker 2: But as I thought in the movie was very off
- 9:37Speaker 2: and on too.
- 9:38Speaker 5: I felt like it was way grayer in some parts
- 9:40Speaker 5: than it was in the other parts of the movie.
- 9:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:42Speaker 1: Yeah, So a pretty woman came out, So that was
- 9:44Speaker 1: nineteen ninety he was.
- 9:49Speaker 3: Oh wow, he was forty one and she was twenty one.
- 9:52Speaker 2: Jesus, really there was that pick of a gap.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Yeah, because I thought he was more of like a sexy,
- 9:58Speaker 1: prematurely gray man like Joean, but he is significantly older
- 10:02Speaker 1: than her.
- 10:02Speaker 3: I didn't really really realize that.
- 10:04Speaker 2: Wow.
- 10:05Speaker 3: Yeah, they do.
- 10:06Speaker 1: One of the things that I kept reading about when
- 10:08Speaker 1: I was reading about like how this movie performed is
- 10:10Speaker 1: everyone credited that they had fantastic chemistry, and I think
- 10:14Speaker 1: that they did.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Would you agree with that?
- 10:18Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 10:20Speaker 4: I think it was slow. I don't know, there's that
- 10:24Speaker 4: initial like when she goes to his room, it's awkward,
- 10:26Speaker 4: but that's maybe that's just part of the movie, right,
- 10:29Speaker 4: they just met, but after that they were rolling good banter.
- 10:34Speaker 1: Yeah, good band trap top, they just start a pod.
- 10:38Speaker 1: And also, she's just incredibly likable in this Yes, I
- 10:43Speaker 1: think that's what sells the movie, is just her likability.
- 10:47Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, she's very magnetic in.
- 10:48Speaker 4: This Yeah, she's like the cutest eater of all time
- 10:53Speaker 4: on film, That's what I like. She's always eating with
- 10:55Speaker 4: her mouth open, and I was like, it's just dorable.
- 10:58Speaker 1: You know, there's some truly there's some truly atrocious noise
- 11:04Speaker 1: going on upstairs.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Oh shit, you gonna go up?
- 11:08Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 11:09Speaker 1: A hold moment second, No, okay, So I think that
- 11:13Speaker 1: we'll we'll get into it. But this movie, the concept
- 11:17Speaker 1: of this movie is utterly ridiculous. Really some confusing, baffling
- 11:23Speaker 1: choices all around. I think that this is like the
- 11:27Speaker 1: you couldn't tell this story this way now, and like
- 11:32Speaker 1: they kind of did remake this movie in a way.
- 11:35Speaker 1: It was called a Nora, and I think A Noor
- 11:37Speaker 1: was much more realistic then This movie portrays what this
- 11:41Speaker 1: situation would be like the.
- 11:44Speaker 5: Had that thirty four years of cultural experience to dwell
- 11:47Speaker 5: on with a nourra.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, yeah.
- 11:50Speaker 2: I think it is.
- 11:51Speaker 5: Did you read about the like how this movie was
- 11:53Speaker 5: written and about the writer at all?
- 11:55Speaker 1: I did read that. I mean it's like based on
- 11:57Speaker 1: pig Malion, which pig Mellion for those that don't know,
- 12:00Speaker 1: it's like trading places with Eddie Murphy and Jannackroyd. It's
- 12:04Speaker 1: like rich guys are like, oh, I can make this
- 12:08Speaker 1: street urchin scum. I can have them fit into high society.
- 12:14Speaker 1: So there's like a pig million aspect to it. And
- 12:16Speaker 1: then also I read that originally in the script it
- 12:18Speaker 1: was darker and she was addicted to drugs and that
- 12:21Speaker 1: was part of their deal. Was Richard Gear said, you
- 12:23Speaker 1: can't do drugs, but anyways, go ahead, Ryan, No.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Just the exact thing.
- 12:28Speaker 5: Like it was a way darker script, a much darker ending.
- 12:30Speaker 5: Apparently the guy wrote it wrote it like in like
- 12:35Speaker 5: a screenwriting class. Mmm, and like it got bought by
- 12:39Speaker 5: Disney and then changed by this but like it was
- 12:42Speaker 5: such a huge hit it got it like an entire career.
- 12:44Speaker 5: But like it was such a different script entirely, and
- 12:48Speaker 5: that I think the name also was different too, as
- 12:50Speaker 5: we talked about it.
- 12:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, no, actually it was I'm sorry, it was
- 12:54Speaker 1: dirty prostitute, that's right. Yeah, No, it was three thousand
- 13:00Speaker 1: for two reasons. Number one, that's the amount of money
- 13:03Speaker 1: they agree upon for the situation, and number two. Later
- 13:06Speaker 1: the Bernie mac film about the baseball player was called
- 13:08Speaker 1: Mister three thousand so that, Yeah, to.
- 13:16Speaker 2: Go to a baseball game. Who is that? You don't
- 13:18Speaker 2: know him?
- 13:19Speaker 3: Oh, it's mister three thousand. She goes you guys, that's
- 13:22Speaker 3: what we agree.
- 13:23Speaker 2: Guys, see you guys in thirteen years?
- 13:28Speaker 3: Was it really two thousand and three?
- 13:31Speaker 5: Itur But Bernie Mac looks at the camera.
- 13:34Speaker 1: I saw to you in thirteen years and then they
- 13:37Speaker 1: actually make it.
- 13:41Speaker 3: Oh, that'd be great. I would love that.
- 13:45Speaker 1: But this movie starts and I think the first line
- 13:48Speaker 1: in the movie, I can't remember if it's Jason Alexander
- 13:50Speaker 1: or Richard Gear. It's no matter what they say, It's
- 13:54Speaker 1: all about money, is the opening line of the movie.
- 13:59Speaker 3: Rich Gear plays Edward Edward Ryan. What would you do? How
- 14:04Speaker 3: would you describe Edward and what he does?
- 14:07Speaker 2: He is a financial dealer, broker.
- 14:12Speaker 3: Guy, mergers and acquisitions.
- 14:16Speaker 2: Mergers and acquisitions.
- 14:17Speaker 5: He reminded me of Peter Banning from Hook a little
- 14:20Speaker 5: bit with what he does for a job.
- 14:24Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 14:25Speaker 2: It's very uh, just very like somewhat yuppyish guy. Oh.
- 14:31Speaker 1: I think he's a very uppish guy.
- 14:34Speaker 4: He's emotionally unavailable, guys.
- 14:37Speaker 2: His biggest crime.
- 14:38Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the that's the nature of his job.
- 14:42Speaker 1: You have to be emotionally unavailable. You have to be
- 14:44Speaker 1: called Patrick Bateman and American Psycho was in mergers and
- 14:48Speaker 1: acquisitions or is he called it murders and executions, But
- 14:51Speaker 1: he basically Richard gear When there's a very large company
- 14:54Speaker 1: worth a lot of money that hits a really big
- 14:59Speaker 1: roadblock block problem that devalues them, he will buy them
- 15:04Speaker 1: for a lot of money opportunistically and then sort of
- 15:08Speaker 1: like pick the company apart and sell each of the
- 15:11Speaker 1: parts of the company to the highest bider and making
- 15:13Speaker 1: it makes a lot of money, and then moves on
- 15:16Speaker 1: to the next company. So doesn't really do anything. He
- 15:18Speaker 1: just like buys these flailing big companies, destroys them, reaps
- 15:22Speaker 1: the profit, and then moves on to the next one.
- 15:26Speaker 1: And his right hand man at work is his attorney
- 15:30Speaker 1: named Philip. He's sort of the Andy of the film.
- 15:33Speaker 1: He's played by Jason Alexander. Jason Alexander or George from
- 15:37Speaker 1: Seinfeld This pre date Seinfeld correct.
- 15:41Speaker 2: Not by much, right, it's only a year or two?
- 15:43Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and Andy, how would you describe Philip.
- 15:50Speaker 4: Money power, hungry? I think At one point Richard Geart
- 15:54Speaker 4: tells him that he just likes the kill sounds like,
- 15:59Speaker 4: sounds like right a little bit at work. I think
- 16:01Speaker 4: someone Ryan got that on a performance review.
- 16:05Speaker 1: Just you need to just stop focusing on the kill
- 16:08Speaker 1: that said, God, somebody wrote that in your performance review.
- 16:12Speaker 5: If your company, like leadership saw that within a review
- 16:14Speaker 5: for someone wrote to somebody, they should be concerned.
- 16:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 16:17Speaker 1: And this opening scene, it's like some fancy yuppie party
- 16:22Speaker 1: or something that Richard gear is hosting.
- 16:24Speaker 3: Edward and.
- 16:26Speaker 1: I like, this is the first scene where I was like,
- 16:29Speaker 1: this is so problematic the whole concept of this. So
- 16:31Speaker 1: there's a call for him and he gets on the
- 16:33Speaker 1: phone is Jessica and basically it's Jessica's current girlfriend, and
- 16:41Speaker 1: he's like, where are you? This is a very important
- 16:43Speaker 1: week for me at work. My secretary should have made
- 16:46Speaker 1: arrangements with you, like you need to be here. And
- 16:49Speaker 1: then she says, I'm not at your beck and call
- 16:54Speaker 1: I talked to your secretary more than you, Like, I
- 16:57Speaker 1: can't just be there when you want and not be
- 17:00Speaker 1: there when you don't, And talk to your secretary and like, yeah,
- 17:03Speaker 1: like you snap your fingers, I appear I'm out. That's
- 17:06Speaker 1: not a relationship, and she hangs up on him, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: I just know in this moment, He's like, but if
- 17:11Speaker 1: I got a prostitute, then she would have to do
- 17:16Speaker 1: whatever I say. Like the gears are starting to turn
- 17:20Speaker 1: in his head, and I'm like, oh, I don't. I
- 17:22Speaker 1: don't like that at all.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Yeah, you're saying this is his pickup of Julia Row premeditated.
- 17:29Speaker 1: Oh, let's we'll get into that. He's he's just driving around, like, well,
- 17:34Speaker 1: we'll talk about that. And he says to like this
- 17:39Speaker 1: woman at the party that is a long time ex girlfriend.
- 17:42Speaker 1: He says, did you talk to my secretary more than me?
- 17:45Speaker 1: And she said, your secretary ended up being my bridesmaid
- 17:48Speaker 1: when I got married, and he's like, ah damn.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Also before this too, he's like, oh, I'm sorry I
- 17:55Speaker 5: couldn't make your wedding whatever, and she's like, well, I
- 17:57Speaker 5: couldn't wait for you for too long. And I was like,
- 17:59Speaker 5: is your husband here. That's a pretty odd thing to say.
- 18:02Speaker 5: You just got married and like you were waiting for
- 18:04Speaker 5: this other guy to do it.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean that's what happens. Edward is a
- 18:08Speaker 1: very eligible bachelor. He's worth like gotta be worth like
- 18:11Speaker 1: a billion dollars, and he's handsome. This yeah, but I
- 18:18Speaker 1: agree with you, Ryan, It's kind of an awkward thing
- 18:20Speaker 1: to say. This soundtrack was huge. I remember my mom
- 18:25Speaker 1: had this soundtrack on cassette and a sick song right
- 18:30Speaker 1: off the bat is King of Wishful Thinking by Go West.
- 18:34Speaker 1: Love this song, love this music video, fantastic.
- 18:39Speaker 4: Yeah, eighties hit Yeah, and.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Then sort of like wedged in I thought they were
- 18:44Speaker 1: trying too hard. Is Right after this, it was wild One.
- 18:49Speaker 1: You know, Oh, Baby, I'm a wild one like in
- 18:51Speaker 1: the very next scene. Who sings that song? I can't remember,
- 18:54Speaker 1: but the Pretty Woman's soundtrack was huge at the time.
- 18:59Speaker 3: I'm gonna look this up. I'm a real wild one,
- 19:02Speaker 3: wild one. Oh. This was also made into a musical.
- 19:07Speaker 1: Uh.
- 19:10Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 19:11Speaker 2: I can't find it.
- 19:14Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 19:15Speaker 1: I don't think so because it's it's clearly.
- 19:18Speaker 4: Not a wild thing.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Christopher.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, there you go. Gotta keep it lose, gotta
- 19:31Speaker 1: keep it swinging, baby. So the first shot I wrote
- 19:35Speaker 1: I wrote this movie. I wrote a note that the
- 19:38Speaker 1: first shot of Julia Roberts character in this movie, she's
- 19:40Speaker 1: completely nude.
- 19:41Speaker 3: But that's not true. That was a joke to myself.
- 19:44Speaker 1: The first shot of her is.
- 19:49Speaker 3: What is she doing?
- 19:50Speaker 1: Is she's just like getting ready to go out? I
- 19:53Speaker 1: think so, right, Yes, she's in bed. She's living with
- 20:00Speaker 1: Kit female and they're getting dressed ready to.
- 20:07Speaker 3: Work. Quote unquote.
- 20:09Speaker 1: There's a comment about like Kit is doing drugs and
- 20:12Speaker 1: is spending money on drugs. Yeah, and she's like, nah,
- 20:16Speaker 1: I mean, I know we're prostitutes, but like we can't
- 20:18Speaker 1: be spending our money on drugs.
- 20:21Speaker 4: It spends the rent money on drugs. This is the problem. Yeah,
- 20:26Speaker 4: it's very light. The sex worker stuff is so light,
- 20:29Speaker 4: and as you said, in this movie, it's.
- 20:32Speaker 3: Yeah, this sexual stuff.
- 20:33Speaker 1: The only scene where it's not is like Kit and
- 20:36Speaker 1: Julia Roberts are going out to work and Kit Julia
- 20:39Speaker 1: Roberts's name Vivian. They're going out to work and they
- 20:42Speaker 1: see in an alley another prostitute has been like brutally
- 20:46Speaker 1: murdered and the detective investigating the murder is Hank Kazaria.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I thought that, like Hank Kazaria would be in the
- 20:52Speaker 1: movie again or this would be like another plot, and
- 20:55Speaker 1: it's just never mentioned again. And it's the only part
- 20:58Speaker 1: that's like, you know, being a maybe isn't great. Yeah,
- 21:03Speaker 1: I when she is they're talking about like how this
- 21:07Speaker 1: prostitute is murdered in an alley. I was watching this
- 21:09Speaker 1: with Ryan and I said, oh, that's so sad that
- 21:12Speaker 1: she was murdered, and Ryan just turned to me like
- 21:15Speaker 1: deadpan and said, whores aren't human and then went back
- 21:19Speaker 1: to watching the movie.
- 21:20Speaker 2: WHOA, you didn't watch this together? Watch today? I watched
- 21:24Speaker 2: this today after work for the time ever.
- 21:26Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, yeah, they they talked to Carlos. So basically,
- 21:31Speaker 1: Kit and Vivian are prostitutes. They live together, they're paying
- 21:35Speaker 1: rent money with their prostitution, and but they don't have
- 21:39Speaker 1: a pimp. They have a couple of rules.
- 21:41Speaker 3: Did you do Andy?
- 21:42Speaker 4: Do you remember the rules that they have no kissing
- 21:45Speaker 4: on the mouth.
- 21:46Speaker 3: That's an important one.
- 21:47Speaker 4: Yeah, that's too personal. That's all I got.
- 21:52Speaker 3: There's no pimps.
- 21:54Speaker 1: They determine how much it is, when it is, where
- 21:57Speaker 1: it is, what they do, who it's with.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It's all about like, that's.
- 22:01Speaker 1: Why they don't need a man running their life. That's
- 22:03Speaker 1: why they don't have a pimp.
- 22:05Speaker 4: But there is I have a question. Yeah, So I
- 22:08Speaker 4: feel like they make it seem like Julia Roberts is
- 22:11Speaker 4: just like she's new to the sex worker game, like
- 22:14Speaker 4: she's just dipped her toe in. How how long do
- 22:17Speaker 4: you think she's been involved with this? Because it's they
- 22:20Speaker 4: really act like she just got there like a week ago,
- 22:22Speaker 4: but she she says and does things where she seems
- 22:24Speaker 4: a little more nuanced in the process. So I was
- 22:27Speaker 4: a little like, she's been there for six months now.
- 22:32Speaker 1: I want to say, gone to my head, what's the
- 22:37Speaker 1: longest I think she could have been there?
- 22:38Speaker 3: I'm going to say like three years.
- 22:41Speaker 1: What's the shortest she could have been there? I'm going
- 22:44Speaker 1: to say like a year. She knew a lot about
- 22:50Speaker 1: the game.
- 22:51Speaker 4: Okay, I had her at like three to six months, Ryan,
- 22:55Speaker 4: what do you say?
- 22:56Speaker 2: No sorts thing?
- 22:57Speaker 5: When she's explaining like her backstory to Edward later in
- 23:02Speaker 5: the movie, she's it didn't seem super long the way
- 23:05Speaker 5: she talked about it, because again they kind of keep
- 23:09Speaker 5: talking about how she's new to the game and stuff
- 23:11Speaker 5: like that. But yeah, I don't know, I would think
- 23:16Speaker 5: a year most in my head that just I don't know,
- 23:18Speaker 5: just to make.
- 23:19Speaker 3: I think that.
- 23:19Speaker 1: When she talks about the backstory, and she was like
- 23:21Speaker 1: when I first turned my first trick, I cried. She
- 23:24Speaker 1: was like, to me, she was talking about that like
- 23:26Speaker 1: it was the distant past.
- 23:29Speaker 3: But so she's explaining, like she has they don't have
- 23:33Speaker 3: any money. Kit spend her money on drugs.
- 23:36Speaker 1: So she's arguing with Kit and there's this really good
- 23:38Speaker 1: friend that they have new Carlos.
- 23:39Speaker 3: Carlos is a.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Good dude, and Kit explains, well, I not only did
- 23:44Speaker 1: I spend all of her own money, but I still
- 23:46Speaker 1: owe Carlos two hundred dollars. So Vivian says, are you serious,
- 23:50Speaker 1: and Carlos goes.
- 23:52Speaker 3: Don't worry.
- 23:52Speaker 1: Vivian, like, if you want to work off Kid's debt
- 23:56Speaker 1: with me, I'll allow that. And I was like, oh,
- 23:59Speaker 1: that's really nice Carlos. So basically, if you have sex
- 24:01Speaker 1: with Carlos, he will call off Kid's debt.
- 24:04Speaker 3: That's a really good friend.
- 24:05Speaker 4: And roommate, team player, team player.
- 24:09Speaker 1: Carlos is a team player. Have you ever been in
- 24:11Speaker 1: that situation with Sean Ryan.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Where I have had to pay off his debt?
- 24:17Speaker 1: No, like where you have to maybe sleep with somebody,
- 24:20Speaker 1: possibly like Carlos, in order to pay back his debt.
- 24:25Speaker 2: I'd rather move on to the next part of the movie.
- 24:27Speaker 2: That's okay, fair enough, fair enough.
- 24:31Speaker 1: Uh So, Richard Gear steals Jason Alexander's car because this
- 24:37Speaker 1: is his lawyer, and he's sort of busting his balls, like, Hey,
- 24:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna take your car. They talk about the car
- 24:41Speaker 1: a lot I don't know anything about cars. I don't care.
- 24:44Speaker 1: But what kind of car is its Lotus?
- 24:47Speaker 3: I don't know anything about a Lotus.
- 24:50Speaker 2: Do you either?
- 24:51Speaker 4: It's like a British I think it's a British luxury
- 24:56Speaker 4: sports car.
- 24:57Speaker 3: Yeah, so he's Richard Gear.
- 25:00Speaker 1: Edward is quote unquote just driving around, just borrowing a
- 25:03Speaker 1: car and driving around. He's definitely not looking for a prostitute.
- 25:07Speaker 1: He rolls over and asks a bum who is dumpster
- 25:10Speaker 1: diving how to get to Beverly Hills, and the bum,
- 25:15Speaker 1: who's Gary Marshall's voice, says, Oh, it's right here, this
- 25:19Speaker 1: is Stallone's house.
- 25:20Speaker 3: There's a joke.
- 25:21Speaker 1: And I thought that was very interesting because there's two
- 25:24Speaker 1: rumors about Richard Gear, one of which is not really
- 25:27Speaker 1: a rumor, it's fact.
- 25:28Speaker 3: But Ryan, do you know what I'm referring to.
- 25:31Speaker 2: About Richard Gear?
- 25:32Speaker 3: No?
- 25:33Speaker 1: Okay, Well, the specifically stillone related rumor is there's a
- 25:37Speaker 1: well known rumor that Richard Gear the whole like Lemmy
- 25:42Speaker 1: Winks South Park Hamsters putting hamsters inside your body?
- 25:47Speaker 2: That Oh oh yes, okay, okay.
- 25:51Speaker 1: That was a rumor about Richard Gear. I don't know why,
- 25:53Speaker 1: but I've heard that started by Sylvester Stallone because Sylvester
- 25:57Speaker 1: Stalone didn't like him or something like that.
- 26:00Speaker 2: What what are you? What?
- 26:02Speaker 5: What avenues are you guys stepping on? What is stillone
- 26:05Speaker 5: worried about? Was Richard Gear gonna be in First Blood?
- 26:08Speaker 5: It's just like, I.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Don't know for whatever reason where I always heard that
- 26:13Speaker 1: he that's still on started that rumor. But that is
- 26:15Speaker 1: a real thing. You can google it. When his girlfriend
- 26:20Speaker 1: later became his wife, was on like Late Night with
- 26:21Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien and she started talking about that rumor like
- 26:25Speaker 1: years ago.
- 26:26Speaker 3: But what are you gonna say, Andy, No.
- 26:28Speaker 4: That's why I came across too. When the Richard Gear thing,
- 26:30Speaker 4: it's like a major headline in his life.
- 26:33Speaker 2: That's some.
- 26:35Speaker 4: Strained sex act with Gerbils or something. It's it's like
- 26:38Speaker 4: a case study of how you can like spread a
- 26:40Speaker 4: rumor that's completely BS insane.
- 26:43Speaker 1: Yeah, and the other one that's not a rumor, it's
- 26:45Speaker 1: true because Richard Gear, Richard Gear is doing fine. He's
- 26:50Speaker 1: a successful actor, he's a millionaire. He is very handsome.
- 26:54Speaker 1: He married Cindy Crawford in her prime, in her peak
- 26:58Speaker 1: prime for like three or four years married. But Richard
- 27:01Speaker 1: Gear has a very small penis and he's been nude
- 27:06Speaker 1: in movies, so people know that this is a fact.
- 27:10Speaker 1: And after they got divorced, Cindy Crawford was on Howard
- 27:13Speaker 1: Stern and you know how like old Howard Stern.
- 27:15Speaker 3: Used to be.
- 27:15Speaker 1: He was like, so, like Cindy, so Richard Gear really
- 27:18Speaker 1: small dick, and she was like.
- 27:22Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, and he's like, oh yeah.
- 27:23Speaker 1: I mean I've heard people.
- 27:25Speaker 3: Say that he's like that.
- 27:26Speaker 1: You have to have noticed that, Like was he good
- 27:29Speaker 1: at making love to you?
- 27:30Speaker 2: Like?
- 27:30Speaker 1: Was that awkward for you because you're the most beautiful
- 27:32Speaker 1: woman in the world and you're married to a guy
- 27:34Speaker 1: which is like a really small dick. You can watch
- 27:37Speaker 1: that interview with Cindy Crawford on YouTube.
- 27:38Speaker 3: So kind of sucks for Richard.
- 27:40Speaker 1: Gear, but overall he's doing fine in life.
- 27:43Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, AnyWho, Yeah, the Richard Gear, I mean,
- 27:53Speaker 6: I didn't fuire him, I didn't fire him.
- 27:55Speaker 5: This is the one he this is when he chooses
- 27:57Speaker 5: to stand up. At this moment he calls.
- 27:58Speaker 1: In, He's like eighty right now.
- 28:02Speaker 2: This is Tim.
- 28:05Speaker 1: I really like this move at.
- 28:06Speaker 2: Thanks for calling off the jackal, by the way, and
- 28:08Speaker 2: he hangs up.
- 28:09Speaker 1: If he calls in the Irish accent from the jackal,
- 28:11Speaker 1: I'll thumbs up.
- 28:13Speaker 3: I like this move. By the way.
- 28:14Speaker 1: Kit a Julia Roberts had a bar and Kit because
- 28:17Speaker 1: she's poor and like, I didn't eat dinner that night,
- 28:20Speaker 1: is just eating the fruit from the bar, like the oranges,
- 28:23Speaker 1: the lions and the Marchino cherries. And the bartender says,
- 28:26Speaker 1: this isn't a buffet, kid, never thought of that, never
- 28:28Speaker 1: seen that before.
- 28:30Speaker 5: I love Pops the bartender when she when she first
- 28:32Speaker 5: goes in there and she's like.
- 28:33Speaker 2: Where's Kit upstairs in the forum? Guy's a thousand. He's
- 28:37Speaker 2: working into the bar, hugely busy bar.
- 28:40Speaker 1: Yeah, they discussed that they don't take less than one
- 28:43Speaker 1: hundred dollars. That's their third deal. I don't believe that
- 28:46Speaker 1: Kit follows through on.
- 28:48Speaker 3: That, but.
- 28:51Speaker 2: A few offers later that are definitely under one hundred dollars. Yeah,
- 28:53Speaker 2: and some of her.
- 28:54Speaker 4: Lines, yeah, I put in if you do if you
- 28:56Speaker 4: get one hundred dollars an hour and today's wages, it
- 28:59Speaker 4: would be five hundred thousand dollars a year.
- 29:01Speaker 1: Well, but she's not working forty hours a week.
- 29:04Speaker 4: She's not working forty a week. I mean, you don't
- 29:05Speaker 4: know that.
- 29:06Speaker 1: So one hundred what's in today's money? Because this is
- 29:12Speaker 1: this is what I didn't understand inflation calculator when I
- 29:17Speaker 1: look this up and.
- 29:18Speaker 4: I asked a question, maybe it doesn't have to be now,
- 29:20Speaker 4: but I heard that or I read that al Pacino
- 29:24Speaker 4: did a screen test for this movie. I was hoping Ryan,
- 29:28Speaker 4: because I really let enjoy Ryan's impression of al Pacino.
- 29:31Speaker 4: Could he say a line in this movie is Helpino
- 29:34Speaker 4: does just sometimes?
- 29:36Speaker 2: Who are you audition for that? Ch just want to
- 29:40Speaker 2: know which one to go with? I would love him.
- 29:43Speaker 4: Vivian, I was pretty excited about.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I said, Vivian, Uh, he's Jason. Alexander would love that
- 29:50Speaker 1: as well. So that's two hundred and fifty dollars an
- 29:55Speaker 1: hour in today's money. I just checked, And this is
- 29:58Speaker 1: what I didn't understand. Because Vivian is very good looking.
- 30:01Speaker 1: And if you watch mad Men, or if you've seen
- 30:03Speaker 1: Catch Me, if you can, you'll understand what I'm talking
- 30:05Speaker 1: about there's like or they talk about it in a
- 30:08Speaker 1: Wolf of Wall Street.
- 30:09Speaker 3: There are different levels of prostitutes.
- 30:11Speaker 1: There's like Hollywood boulevard street corner drug addict prostitutes, and
- 30:16Speaker 1: then there's like you go to I remember the Oak
- 30:19Speaker 1: Room in Boston, which is a fancy bar inside of
- 30:22Speaker 1: a fancy hotel. There's a rumor that high class prostitutes
- 30:26Speaker 1: would go there and hang out alone at the bar,
- 30:28Speaker 1: and those are like, you know, oh, if you want
- 30:31Speaker 1: to go up to your hotel room, it's a thousand
- 30:33Speaker 1: dollars type deal.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Just like Julia Roberts.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Vivian is priced as like Jennifer Gardner and catch me
- 30:42Speaker 1: if you can. And that makes sense, like I would
- 30:46Speaker 1: buy that, But then she just acts like a drug
- 30:50Speaker 1: addicted street corner prostitute that charges twenty dollars a trick that,
- 30:54Speaker 1: So that just didn't make any.
- 30:55Speaker 3: Sense to me.
- 30:56Speaker 4: She's new. I think this speaks to her being new,
- 30:59Speaker 4: new straight.
- 31:00Speaker 3: Away, and Kit's not new.
- 31:02Speaker 4: K it's not new, no, But I don't know. That's
- 31:04Speaker 4: the way I took it. She was just new. She's
- 31:06Speaker 4: just kind of following Kit took great whatever.
- 31:10Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
- 31:12Speaker 5: I think they're also probably just going after like the
- 31:15Speaker 5: publicly conceived notion of prostitutes.
- 31:17Speaker 4: Yeah, me too, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 31:20Speaker 1: She's dressed very much like a prostitute, like obnoxiously so.
- 31:24Speaker 1: And he so Richard Gear again just driving around, not
- 31:30Speaker 1: looking for a prostitute. He pulls over to a street
- 31:33Speaker 1: corner on Hollywood Boulevard and asks two young women who
- 31:37Speaker 1: are clearly dressed his prostitutes, for directions, and she says,
- 31:44Speaker 1: how about I get in the car and give you directions?
- 31:46Speaker 3: And he's like.
- 31:47Speaker 1: Sure, yeah, But again, he's not looking for He's just
- 31:52Speaker 1: a good dude. He's lost, he's driving his friend's car, caring.
- 31:57Speaker 4: The only thing I could have even like thought was
- 32:00Speaker 4: that he's just like there's no consequences in his mind.
- 32:03Speaker 4: He's just like always been rich and there's like no
- 32:06Speaker 4: thought of a consequence. I mean, it's a very stupid
- 32:09Speaker 4: thing to do when he does it as the only
- 32:12Speaker 4: only thing I could give him in that instance, because
- 32:14Speaker 4: that's just like you're just kind of like, oh, and
- 32:15Speaker 4: you're gonna let her drive the car too? Yeah, cool,
- 32:17Speaker 4: Like it's there's no excuse for this.
- 32:20Speaker 1: He's terrible at driving the car. He doesn't know how
- 32:22Speaker 1: to drive stick, and she said, how are you so
- 32:24Speaker 1: bad at this? And he says, because my first car
- 32:26Speaker 1: was a Limo? And I think that the the Pygmalion
- 32:29Speaker 1: aspect about this movie is very insulting, how obnoxiously like, Oh,
- 32:33Speaker 1: I'm like rich and perfect. Let me teach this poor
- 32:38Speaker 1: trash woman how to be a lady, Like I kind
- 32:41Speaker 1: of hate that, And just why would you tell somebody
- 32:44Speaker 1: who's a street corner prostitute, well, my first car is
- 32:46Speaker 1: a Limo, so I don't know how to drive cars?
- 32:48Speaker 3: Well, like kind of obnoxious?
- 32:51Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's also sure so out of touch
- 32:53Speaker 2: he is.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Yes, and he says how much? She's again, I'm not
- 32:57Speaker 1: looking for a prostitute, no interest in that at all.
- 32:59Speaker 1: But how much do you charge? And she says one
- 33:02Speaker 1: hundred dollars an hour? He says, you're one hundred dollars
- 33:04Speaker 1: an hour and you have a safety pin holding up
- 33:06Speaker 1: your boot that's stiff, And then she places her hand
- 33:10Speaker 1: on his crotch and says, well, no, it's not, but
- 33:13Speaker 1: it's got potential, which apparently it doesn't based on what
- 33:18Speaker 1: I just said about Richard care.
- 33:22Speaker 4: Damn you reloading those shots, cuff.
- 33:24Speaker 1: I didn't start this I have nothing against.
- 33:26Speaker 5: Richard huge article Tomorrow podcast calls out Richard Gear.
- 33:34Speaker 1: Eighty year old Richard Gear sues Massachusetts.
- 33:37Speaker 2: And to Milton to confront in person.
- 33:41Speaker 3: How old is he right now?
- 33:43Speaker 1: So I said he's forty one in nineteen ninety, so
- 33:45Speaker 1: he's seventy six.
- 33:47Speaker 3: Damn yeah.
- 33:50Speaker 1: And so they get to is he's staying in a
- 33:53Speaker 1: very luxurious hotel. They get to the hotel and he's like, yeah,
- 33:58Speaker 1: why don't you come out of the car with me?
- 34:01Speaker 1: And it's like everybody knows who he is at this hotel,
- 34:05Speaker 1: and she's very obviously a hooker. So he's either delusional
- 34:11Speaker 1: or like self destructive. I mean Edward. One of my
- 34:14Speaker 1: big takes of this movie is Edward is quietly nuts
- 34:21Speaker 1: a very self destructive man.
- 34:26Speaker 4: That's a side.
- 34:28Speaker 1: And so he valley parks the car and then he's like,
- 34:32Speaker 1: all right, thanks to the directions. I paid you for
- 34:34Speaker 1: the directions. And she says, I'm gonna take a cab home,
- 34:36Speaker 1: and he says all right later, and I'm like, he's
- 34:39Speaker 1: not even gonna get her a cab. Mikey Palmisi, by
- 34:43Speaker 1: the way, is the doorman.
- 34:44Speaker 3: Did you notice that.
- 34:46Speaker 2: His reaction here is the best. I love him. They
- 34:48Speaker 2: cut to his face and he's just watching.
- 34:51Speaker 3: He's like, oh, this is great.
- 34:53Speaker 1: Yes, and she says, oh, I'm absolutely I'm actually gonna
- 34:57Speaker 1: take the bus. And he's like okay, cool. And then
- 35:03Speaker 1: what ends up changing his mind?
- 35:04Speaker 3: I don't even remember.
- 35:08Speaker 2: She does.
- 35:10Speaker 5: She put the hat on, and then she's sitting on
- 35:13Speaker 5: she's sitting on top of the bust, the bust bench,
- 35:17Speaker 5: and he just kind of looks back at her, and
- 35:19Speaker 5: it's like, okay, let's see what happens.
- 35:21Speaker 3: A big thing in.
- 35:22Speaker 1: This movie is her sitting inappropriately, not like in a
- 35:25Speaker 1: sexually explicit way, but sitting on a place where she
- 35:28Speaker 1: shouldn't technically be sitting. Like she doesn't sit on the bench,
- 35:32Speaker 1: she sits on the bench back with her feet on
- 35:34Speaker 1: the bench. And then this comes up over and over again,
- 35:37Speaker 1: like sitting on tables at restaurants, sitting on his desk,
- 35:40Speaker 1: sitting on and they're oh, there are perfectly good chairs
- 35:43Speaker 1: right here.
- 35:44Speaker 3: She just doesn't.
- 35:44Speaker 1: She doesn't know how to sit because she's such just
- 35:47Speaker 1: a ball of trash. She's a pile of trash. She
- 35:50Speaker 1: doesn't know how to sit in a fucking chair.
- 35:53Speaker 5: I took it as more as she's trying to get
- 35:54Speaker 5: his attention, so it's like stand out in a smaller way.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 35:58Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he just like decides to take her upstairs.
- 36:02Speaker 4: It's like all him it out. She's she was willing
- 36:04Speaker 4: to do it from the jump, and I do like
- 36:07Speaker 4: in this part when she says like he's like, what's
- 36:09Speaker 4: your day, she says, what's your name? He says Edward,
- 36:10Speaker 4: and she's like, Oh, that's my favorite name in the
- 36:12Speaker 4: whole world.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Before that's what that means. But yeah, so he's like,
- 36:20Speaker 1: I was not looking for a prostitute. I just happened
- 36:23Speaker 1: to drive through a city part of town and ask
- 36:25Speaker 1: a woman that I blatantly knew was a prostitute for directions,
- 36:27Speaker 1: told her to get in my car and come back
- 36:30Speaker 1: to my hotel. I really was gonna drop her off
- 36:34Speaker 1: and just let her go with the at the front
- 36:35Speaker 1: of the hotel, but I mean, you're here, so you
- 36:39Speaker 1: might as well come up and where.
- 36:42Speaker 4: It's just as he's so rich, there's no consequences in
- 36:44Speaker 4: his mind. That's the way I took it. But to
- 36:47Speaker 4: your point, the way he could be insane, he could
- 36:49Speaker 4: be self destructive.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Sure, I think he just didn't care. Yeah. He.
- 36:53Speaker 1: So there's an elderly, a wealthy elderly couple getting on
- 36:56Speaker 1: the elevator and when they see the way Julia Roberts
- 36:59Speaker 1: is dressed because she's as like a skanky, the woman
- 37:03Speaker 1: doesn't want to get on, but her elderly husband like
- 37:05Speaker 1: gladly wants to get on with her, which thought that
- 37:07Speaker 1: was great.
- 37:08Speaker 5: I love when she first even enters the hotel and
- 37:11Speaker 5: everyone's like staring at her and she looks back and.
- 37:13Speaker 2: She just says, holy shit.
- 37:16Speaker 5: The way she said that was so funny because it
- 37:18Speaker 5: was like so impressed, my help a little way it
- 37:19Speaker 5: was yeah yeah.
- 37:20Speaker 1: And the elevator operator says, like penhouse, and so he's
- 37:24Speaker 1: staying in the penhouse. He's just so odd about this,
- 37:29Speaker 1: like she.
- 37:30Speaker 3: Just wants to get down to business. She's like, I
- 37:32Speaker 3: get what this is. I appreciate you.
- 37:34Speaker 1: And he's like no, no, no, like I don't want
- 37:37Speaker 1: to have sex right now.
- 37:38Speaker 3: Let's just let's just chill.
- 37:40Speaker 1: And I'm just like what I'm watching this thinking what
- 37:44Speaker 1: is going on?
- 37:45Speaker 3: What? Uh? And she's like all right.
- 37:50Speaker 4: I like when she says like listen, like I appreciate
- 37:53Speaker 4: all the romantic like the champagne and the striberries. She's like,
- 37:57Speaker 4: but I'm a sure thing, all right? Like that is
- 37:59Speaker 4: a great one with this songa dance here.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Yeah, why is he being an impressor about getting strawberries
- 38:04Speaker 1: and champagne? And I literally wrote this down as a note, Andy,
- 38:08Speaker 1: you've had sex with prostitutes before? Is this how it normally.
- 38:11Speaker 4: Goes all the time? Like tent House?
- 38:16Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 38:17Speaker 1: And also because this is a movie about a rich
- 38:19Speaker 1: man buying a hooker, they have to make like the
- 38:22Speaker 1: two characters have to be very honorable for them to
- 38:25Speaker 1: be palatable to Middle America and like people who are
- 38:28Speaker 1: going to go see this movie. And that's why they
- 38:30Speaker 1: took away the drug aspect of the script. But he
- 38:34Speaker 1: mentions he is not in a relationship. He is divorced,
- 38:37Speaker 1: he is an ex wife and Long Island. He does
- 38:39Speaker 1: not have children, which is another important thing. And he
- 38:42Speaker 1: has an ex girlfriend, Jessica, who he just broke up with,
- 38:45Speaker 1: so it's not like he's being a complete sleeze.
- 38:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 38:51Speaker 1: And he says, eat some strawberries. It brings out the
- 38:53Speaker 1: flavor of the champagne. I didn't fact check that, is
- 38:56Speaker 1: that true.
- 38:57Speaker 2: I've never heard that before.
- 38:58Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, that's true.
- 39:01Speaker 1: Strawberries bring out champagna.
- 39:06Speaker 3: We'll see.
- 39:06Speaker 1: Let's see what AI says. Google assist says, Oh, strawberries
- 39:14Speaker 1: can enhance the experience of drinking champagne by adding sweetness
- 39:17Speaker 1: and fruity flavor, but they do not always pair well
- 39:20Speaker 1: due to the fruit sweetness potentially clashing with the acidity
- 39:23Speaker 1: of the champagne. You need to dryer champagne a pair
- 39:28Speaker 1: of strawberries. I'm gonna go out on a limon say
- 39:30Speaker 1: he knows that, and he's getting a driver champagne.
- 39:33Speaker 4: When he's like, he's like surprised that she doesn't know
- 39:35Speaker 4: to eat the strawberries too, Like come on, dude, Like,
- 39:39Speaker 4: well just pick this girl up off the street. I
- 39:42Speaker 4: don't know, Like, oh, yeah, she doesn't know that it's
- 39:44Speaker 4: the flavor enhancer.
- 39:45Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 39:46Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 39:46Speaker 1: This is like Nick Mullen is the stand up routine
- 39:49Speaker 1: about the blind Side and about how like offensive and
- 39:51Speaker 1: racist the blind side is. And it's like, uh, like
- 39:54Speaker 1: Sandra Bullock like gives puts him in this big room
- 39:56Speaker 1: with this big bed and she's like do you have
- 39:59Speaker 1: a bed where you before? And he's like no, I didn't.
- 40:02Speaker 1: Oh it's like, why would you why would you point
- 40:04Speaker 1: that out?
- 40:05Speaker 2: Uh?
- 40:07Speaker 1: He is, Uh, She's like, I need to use the bathroom.
- 40:11Speaker 1: And he thinks that she's like shooting up or doing
- 40:13Speaker 1: a line of cocaine. He comes in the bathroom, is like,
- 40:17Speaker 1: what are you doing? And I thought that she was
- 40:19Speaker 1: stealing something, she's hiding something behind her back.
- 40:22Speaker 3: But Ryan, what was she hiding?
- 40:24Speaker 2: Boss?
- 40:25Speaker 1: She was flossing the strawberry seeds out of her teeth.
- 40:29Speaker 5: Yeah, you shouldn't like look, why you shouldn't neglect your
- 40:33Speaker 5: dumb This is what she said.
- 40:34Speaker 1: And this is this is another moment where I really
- 40:36Speaker 1: hated Edward. You're so outraged that this street corner prostitute
- 40:41Speaker 1: you just picked up and paid for it for sex.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Would dare do a little blow in your bathroom? Of
- 40:47Speaker 1: course she would be doing blow in his bathroom? Like
- 40:50Speaker 1: why would that not be the case? And he's he
- 40:52Speaker 1: is just oh my good, It's like he uh what,
- 40:55Speaker 1: Like it's like a woman in the eighteen hundreds that
- 40:59Speaker 1: faints hearing a swear word.
- 41:01Speaker 3: It's like, hello, what what.
- 41:03Speaker 1: Do you think is going on here? And like he
- 41:05Speaker 1: doesn't do blow or sea blow all that he's a
- 41:08Speaker 1: millionaire that goes to these eighties parties with like lawyers
- 41:11Speaker 1: and yeah, okay, anyways.
- 41:14Speaker 4: At the work, he's about the work.
- 41:16Speaker 1: What is his plan?
- 41:17Speaker 3: What is his plan?
- 41:18Speaker 1: Here goes?
- 41:21Speaker 3: Well, go ahead, Ryan, what is his plan?
- 41:23Speaker 2: See where it goes?
- 41:24Speaker 3: See where it goes?
- 41:25Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know, he says. He's like
- 41:28Speaker 4: a meticulous planner. So this is a little out of character.
- 41:32Speaker 4: He just wants to do work while she is at
- 41:35Speaker 4: in his hotel room watching TV. That's his that's his dream.
- 41:41Speaker 5: Horrible breakup with Jessica. I just set him off. He
- 41:44Speaker 5: took his bosses car, went out, I need someone now,
- 41:47Speaker 5: and then realize I'm in too deep and now I
- 41:49Speaker 5: gotta I'm not gonna find my way out of this
- 41:51Speaker 5: as civilly as possible.
- 41:52Speaker 1: So my my biggest like zag from this film is
- 41:57Speaker 1: not in his behavior at the end of the film,
- 41:59Speaker 1: but in general. Jason Alexander's character Philip is right to
- 42:02Speaker 1: be deeply, deeply concerned about Edward's mental health. He steals
- 42:08Speaker 1: his car at a party, leaves it's his party, picks
- 42:11Speaker 1: up a prostitute, and then the fact that he takes
- 42:14Speaker 1: her back and doesn't have sex with her is like
- 42:16Speaker 1: more concerning I would love. I wonder it's like an
- 42:20Speaker 1: aggressive sex scene that was just like makes him look
- 42:24Speaker 1: like a pig here.
- 42:26Speaker 3: I think that would be hilarious.
- 42:28Speaker 5: I'm wondering too, with you pointing out all of these,
- 42:31Speaker 5: like concerning character decisions on Edward's part, with this movie
- 42:35Speaker 5: originally being being written to make a darker, gritty or
- 42:39Speaker 5: R rated movie that probably was not made to be
- 42:40Speaker 5: a romantic comedy made by Disney, I'm wondering, like what
- 42:44Speaker 5: went through the kind of like filter and wood chipper
- 42:47Speaker 5: of this movie to be like what's acceptable adult content
- 42:50Speaker 5: in their mind versus this, Because even the most bizarre
- 42:53Speaker 5: thing about this, like you said, is this movie is
- 42:55Speaker 5: rated R, but it's an incredibly soft rated are.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I think it's like, you know what, we were talking
- 42:59Speaker 1: about a movie recently that we didn't think she'd be
- 43:01Speaker 1: rated R, but it was rated R because of vibes.
- 43:03Speaker 3: Do you remember what that was?
- 43:06Speaker 2: Oh? Yes, I apparently don't.
- 43:09Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just like a really dark movie, but
- 43:11Speaker 1: it was no reason. It's like when a movie should
- 43:13Speaker 1: be rated PG, but it's it's like nineteen ninety four
- 43:16Speaker 1: and it's about gay people. It's automatically rated R because
- 43:19Speaker 1: of gay. Yeah, it's like this is about a prostitute,
- 43:22Speaker 1: so this is just gonna be rated R. I mean
- 43:24Speaker 1: they say like fuck it it maybe once or twice,
- 43:26Speaker 1: but they could have easily taken that out. So eventually
- 43:30Speaker 1: she seduces him. She gets into her Andy's favorite word, panties,
- 43:35Speaker 1: and she says to him, no, sorry, he's She says
- 43:42Speaker 1: to him, what do you want? And then he says, well,
- 43:45Speaker 1: what do you do? And she says, I do everything,
- 43:48Speaker 1: but I don't kiss on the mouth. And then he responds, okay, cool,
- 43:52Speaker 1: I want anal No, he says, neither do I is
- 43:56Speaker 1: what His response is too.
- 43:58Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the strange thing to say to.
- 44:02Speaker 1: Yeah, that's uh, that's and then she Andy, what does
- 44:06Speaker 1: she do at this point?
- 44:10Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:11Speaker 4: Isn't she just watching I Love Lucy on the floor.
- 44:15Speaker 3: She performs she performs flay showing. No, that's the answer, thanks,
- 44:21Speaker 3: She performs fla showing.
- 44:23Speaker 1: Then he later sees that her blonde hair this entire time,
- 44:27Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it was a wig. And she's just
- 44:31Speaker 1: looking there with her beautiful, curly, red, flowing hair and
- 44:34Speaker 1: he's like, oh wow, she's even prettier now. He thinks, like,
- 44:38Speaker 1: you're just I'm reading his mind here, But.
- 44:41Speaker 5: God, you're such a pretty woman.
- 44:54Speaker 1: So uh again, what is he doing? Like why does
- 44:57Speaker 1: he need to impress her in this way and like
- 45:00Speaker 1: make her feel bad for being poor? She wakes up
- 45:03Speaker 1: the next day, and what does you order for breakfast? Dandy?
- 45:07Speaker 4: Oh?
- 45:09Speaker 1: He orders everything. Oh that's what he said, he said.
- 45:14Speaker 3: I ordered.
- 45:14Speaker 1: I didn't know what you wanted for breakfast, so I
- 45:16Speaker 1: ordered the entire menu.
- 45:18Speaker 3: Amen, Like man, cool?
- 45:20Speaker 1: Yeah, Ryan would be in at this point.
- 45:23Speaker 2: I would admire me today.
- 45:25Speaker 1: And then she's she's eating pancakes with her hands like
- 45:28Speaker 1: a fucking savage. She doesn't know how to eat a pancake.
- 45:32Speaker 1: I mean, somebody who's the most white trash person on
- 45:34Speaker 1: earth knows how to eat a pancake.
- 45:36Speaker 2: She she killed it.
- 45:37Speaker 4: I would say. One of the more white trash things
- 45:39Speaker 4: she does is when she gets I mean we'll get there,
- 45:43Speaker 4: when she talks about she goes to the department stores
- 45:45Speaker 4: and she gets rejected initially. Yeah, she's like, no one
- 45:48Speaker 4: will take my money. And she's holding up money and
- 45:51Speaker 4: she's like, crumpled it into balls.
- 45:53Speaker 2: What are you doing?
- 45:54Speaker 1: Like that's a red So she would be a broken
- 45:58Speaker 1: phone person and to have crumpled up bills is a
- 46:03Speaker 1: broken phone person move. So she they're talking, she says,
- 46:10Speaker 1: I dropped out of school in eleventh grade. When did
- 46:14Speaker 1: you complete school?
- 46:15Speaker 3: How many years do you do?
- 46:16Speaker 1: Which I think is a normal question because he could
- 46:17Speaker 1: be like, I have a PhD, I have a master's,
- 46:20Speaker 1: I went to grad school at Stanford.
- 46:22Speaker 3: He says, oh, I did all the years. This is
- 46:25Speaker 3: a response, and I'm.
- 46:26Speaker 1: Like, again, that's an insulting answer, Like okay, I gotta
- 46:29Speaker 1: dumb it down. So this trash loser idiot understands me.
- 46:34Speaker 4: But she does say like, oh, your parents must be
- 46:37Speaker 4: so proud, like kind of mocking him back.
- 46:39Speaker 1: So shock her to no one based on his behavior,
- 46:43Speaker 1: Edward has issues with his parents. Jason Alexander calls, and
- 46:47Speaker 1: this was the most like kind of eye roll set
- 46:49Speaker 1: up move. He's like, all right, it was great spending
- 46:52Speaker 1: the night with you. Goodbye, I'll never see you again.
- 46:54Speaker 1: And then he gets a phone call from Jason Alexander
- 46:55Speaker 1: and Jason Alexander's like, we have a dinner tonight and
- 46:58Speaker 1: you have to bring a woman as a day and
- 47:01Speaker 1: he's like, oh do I uh?
- 47:04Speaker 3: And what is she doing during this moment.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Do you remember Beth.
- 47:08Speaker 2: She's taking a bathe headphones.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, taking a bubble bath, of course, and he
- 47:13Speaker 1: remembers the bubble bath. She's listening to headphones, she's belting
- 47:16Speaker 1: out song lyrics.
- 47:19Speaker 3: And uh.
- 47:21Speaker 1: He says, I need to I need to pay you
- 47:25Speaker 1: to be at my beck and call, which is exactly
- 47:28Speaker 1: what Jessica said she did not want to do. So
- 47:30Speaker 1: this man is thinking, if I just pay someone to
- 47:33Speaker 1: be my girlfriend, problem solved, problem solved.
- 47:37Speaker 5: What he didn't expect, though, was to fall in love.
- 47:44Speaker 5: That's the that's the trailer.
- 47:47Speaker 4: Oh I realized Tough has such a problem with Richard
- 47:50Speaker 4: Gear and with Edward. He doesn't like either of these guys.
- 47:53Speaker 1: No, that's not true.
- 47:53Speaker 3: I don't like Edward.
- 47:57Speaker 5: You even throwing daggers at me and you and every
- 47:59Speaker 5: character in this movie so far.
- 48:01Speaker 2: And we're we're about twenty five minutes into this.
- 48:04Speaker 1: Yeah, well this is again Ryan's terrible concept of time.
- 48:07Speaker 3: In these we are almost an hour.
- 48:10Speaker 1: Oh really?
- 48:11Speaker 2: Yeah? Good?
- 48:11Speaker 3: You know?
- 48:13Speaker 1: So she says, why would you ever great question? Great
- 48:18Speaker 1: question here? Why would you ever need this? You're a rich,
- 48:21Speaker 1: good looking guy. You could get a million women for free,
- 48:24Speaker 1: and he explains, I don't need the hassle of a
- 48:27Speaker 1: real woman like that that has opinions and will like
- 48:32Speaker 1: argue with me and say no, or like you know,
- 48:35Speaker 1: want me to go hang out with their family, Like
- 48:36Speaker 1: I don't have time for that.
- 48:38Speaker 3: That's what we are prostitutes for it.
- 48:40Speaker 4: I feel like he says, like, I don't want to
- 48:41Speaker 4: get emotionally involved, which is you know, obviously what happens here.
- 48:45Speaker 3: So it's you know, he didn't expect a full poetic He.
- 48:48Speaker 4: Didn't expect a fall in love like Ryan said, I know.
- 48:51Speaker 1: So they negotiate. It's basically like it's a one week
- 48:54Speaker 1: and they negotiate how much she costs for the week,
- 48:57Speaker 1: and they finally agree on three thousand dollars, which is
- 48:59Speaker 1: why the working title for this movie was three thousand.
- 49:02Speaker 1: So I did inflation calculator that is seventy six hundred dollars, okay.
- 49:07Speaker 3: So what would that be for?
- 49:10Speaker 1: That would be like three over three hundred and fifty
- 49:12Speaker 1: grand And she made that every week, but obviously obviously
- 49:14Speaker 1: doesn't make that every week. And she says, I'm going
- 49:19Speaker 1: to treat you so nice, you're never gonna let me
- 49:21Speaker 1: go interesting foreshadowing there.
- 49:26Speaker 2: I liked you.
- 49:26Speaker 5: When they're when he's leaving going out the door and
- 49:29Speaker 5: she's like, you know, I would have done it for
- 49:30Speaker 5: fifteen hundred and he's like, I would have paid four thousand.
- 49:33Speaker 2: That was a good moment.
- 49:35Speaker 3: Oh, I didn't like that. They didn't have it. They
- 49:37Speaker 3: had a great chemistry.
- 49:38Speaker 1: And yeah, and he says again, like you're basically a
- 49:42Speaker 1: flaming pile of trash.
- 49:44Speaker 3: So when you when you.
- 49:45Speaker 1: Go out to dinner with me tonight, you need to
- 49:47Speaker 1: wear something elegant, conservative and not too sexy.
- 49:51Speaker 4: She said, how did you take it like that? How
- 49:52Speaker 4: did you take it that? He was sack?
- 49:55Speaker 1: How would you not take it like that? How would
- 49:57Speaker 1: you not take it like that?
- 50:00Speaker 4: I think it was that, like laced with insult.
- 50:02Speaker 1: Yes, And she says, you mean I need to wear
- 50:04Speaker 1: something boring and he's like, yes, and I'm pretty boring.
- 50:10Speaker 2: Yeah, I will say this having not seen this movie before.
- 50:14Speaker 5: After after he leaves, she calls Kit, and just from
- 50:19Speaker 5: what they've shown Kit before, I was like.
- 50:21Speaker 2: Oh no, don't tell Kit about this.
- 50:23Speaker 5: I just felt like, because she's making so much money
- 50:25Speaker 5: on my Kit is gonna come fuck this up somehow.
- 50:28Speaker 1: Well, and Kit Kit is the smartest line in the
- 50:30Speaker 1: whole movie. So she's like, Hey, that random guy in
- 50:33Speaker 1: the Lotus that picked me up, he took me to
- 50:36Speaker 1: the penthouse of his hotel room. He's like a billionaire
- 50:39Speaker 1: and he's gonna pay me seventy six hundred dollars to
- 50:41Speaker 1: spend the week with him. Kid's response is what is
- 50:44Speaker 1: wrong with him? Because something has to be something has.
- 50:49Speaker 3: To be wrong.
- 50:50Speaker 2: We'll find out.
- 50:52Speaker 1: We'll find out.
- 50:53Speaker 4: And I'm not for everyone cuff, you know.
- 50:56Speaker 1: And she says if I go, I need to go
- 50:59Speaker 1: shopping for a dress. I'm in Beverly Hills.
- 51:01Speaker 3: Where do I go?
- 51:01Speaker 1: And Kit says, Rodeo Drive? And then so they start blasting.
- 51:07Speaker 3: I'm rolling down Rodeo with a shotgun.
- 51:09Speaker 1: People ain't never seen a brownskinned man since their grandparents
- 51:12Speaker 1: bought one. No, they're not playing that song. But uh Andy,
- 51:18Speaker 1: can you explain what happens when she tries to go
- 51:20Speaker 1: buy a dress on Rodeo Drive dressed like and I
- 51:25Speaker 1: would say a Halloween costume prostitute is how she is dressed?
- 51:30Speaker 1: How does it go?
- 51:32Speaker 5: Walking across that street though, on Rodeo Drive getting all
- 51:35Speaker 5: the turned heads.
- 51:37Speaker 4: Yeah, I was gonna say they do. This movie does
- 51:39Speaker 4: a good job of like all the looks because when
- 51:42Speaker 4: she's when she's when she's you know, in prostitute mode,
- 51:45Speaker 4: she gets all these good, you know, these like gasps.
- 51:48Speaker 4: But then when she's in you know, pretty woman mode,
- 51:51Speaker 4: she also gets all these looks and gas So they
- 51:53Speaker 4: do a good job of splitting the two. So she
- 52:02Speaker 4: goes in the store and these women are very rude
- 52:05Speaker 4: to her. She asks like how much is this or
- 52:07Speaker 4: like do you have this in size whatever? And they're like, oh,
- 52:10Speaker 4: it doesn't fit you and you can't afford it, and
- 52:12Speaker 4: get out of here. We don't want you. So they
- 52:15Speaker 4: were very rude, very rude to this charming young woman.
- 52:21Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean.
- 52:24Speaker 1: That was a mistake in retrospect for them to do that,
- 52:26Speaker 1: but I can understand them. Here's my philosophy. Somebody comes
- 52:29Speaker 1: in dress like that, I'd be surprised they're shopping in
- 52:32Speaker 1: my store. But if they're like you know, maybe I
- 52:36Speaker 1: would even watch them to see if they're shoplifting. If
- 52:38Speaker 1: they come up to me as a customer service rep,
- 52:40Speaker 1: it's like, hey, I need help picking out of dress,
- 52:42Speaker 1: Like I have this thing, you know, I have a
- 52:45Speaker 1: lot of money to spend.
- 52:46Speaker 3: What do you got for me?
- 52:47Speaker 1: You hear them out, you don't kick them out because
- 52:51Speaker 1: you're making these conclusions. I mean, if you're working on commission,
- 52:54Speaker 1: because that's the thing. If you're working on commission, you
- 52:56Speaker 1: don't turn down to sale.
- 52:58Speaker 3: That's just stupid.
- 53:00Speaker 1: So these movie fired.
- 53:01Speaker 3: If they work for me, I would hire Vivian.
- 53:07Speaker 1: Actually, I'm not kidding. That'd be a terrible idea for
- 53:10Speaker 1: a Vivian to work for me.
- 53:12Speaker 5: Because how by the end of this podcast, Tim will
- 53:14Speaker 5: turn into Edward's.
- 53:16Speaker 4: See how it happened there, He's already there.
- 53:18Speaker 2: That's about I'm making right now, turn.
- 53:20Speaker 4: Into Jason Alexander.
- 53:25Speaker 1: Oh no, I gotta I have a funny story about
- 53:28Speaker 1: that later. But well, we'll get there.
- 53:32Speaker 3: So she then is very distraught. She comes back to
- 53:37Speaker 3: the hotel.
- 53:38Speaker 1: And she runs into Barney, m VP of the movie,
- 53:42Speaker 1: Barney Great dude, And Barney is like, hello, miss, you
- 53:50Speaker 1: know obviously you are Edward's family member, and she's like, yep,
- 54:00Speaker 1: you're his, and then she's just sort of like, oh,
- 54:04Speaker 1: I'm his niece, okay, and he says I normally niece
- 54:09Speaker 1: is like you, we would not want them in the hotel.
- 54:12Speaker 3: But Edward is a very special guest.
- 54:15Speaker 1: So do you have any other uncles here? Which I
- 54:19Speaker 1: thought was a great way to put that. Yeah, And
- 54:22Speaker 1: she's like annoyed and says no, And then Barney's like, well,
- 54:25Speaker 1: we will let you visit finish visiting Edward, how you do.
- 54:29Speaker 1: But after that, please do not come back to this
- 54:32Speaker 1: hotel because we don't allow that here. And also like
- 54:36Speaker 1: you need to start dressing appropriately to be in this hotel.
- 54:41Speaker 1: And so he's kind of a dick at first, but
- 54:44Speaker 1: I think everything he's saying is fair. I mean, if
- 54:46Speaker 1: you're a hotel manager of a Smikey hotel, you don't
- 54:49Speaker 1: want someone who's obviously a prostitute trying to work guests
- 54:53Speaker 1: in the lobby.
- 54:55Speaker 4: He's so good at being discreet, I wrote, he's the
- 54:58Speaker 4: discreet king. Thing he's saying to her, he's able to
- 55:01Speaker 4: kind of like neutralize it and and make it conversational.
- 55:06Speaker 4: But like DISCREETE.
- 55:07Speaker 1: Barney is the ultimate like rich person manager. If if he,
- 55:13Speaker 1: you know, worked in a hotel like this and dealt
- 55:15Speaker 1: with rich people doing god knows what, he's the ultimate
- 55:20Speaker 1: person that would sort of be discreete, be responsible and
- 55:23Speaker 1: not tolerate complete nonsense, but would be good at like
- 55:26Speaker 1: looking the other way when it's appropriate.
- 55:29Speaker 4: Like you're like your admin's cuff.
- 55:32Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes.
- 55:34Speaker 1: In the movie they say secretary, but we're not allowed
- 55:36Speaker 1: to say secretary anymore. They're not called admins or executive admins,
- 55:41Speaker 1: but their secret secretaries and admins.
- 55:43Speaker 3: Are the same.
- 55:45Speaker 1: So, but it's like a do you find that to
- 55:48Speaker 1: be the case that it's not inappropriate word to use anymore?
- 55:51Speaker 2: I don't hear it anymore.
- 55:52Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, like boards sports sabbath secretary if don't
- 55:56Speaker 4: they like secretary of the board, secretary government is.
- 56:00Speaker 1: The secretary of is different because like secretary of the
- 56:04Speaker 1: treasury is not. Nobody thinks that that's an admin, but
- 56:10Speaker 1: an admin is Like if you're a bit a business
- 56:13Speaker 1: man or woman and you have you have an assistance
- 56:19Speaker 1: who cares about this.
- 56:22Speaker 3: They're called an ad man.
- 56:28Speaker 4: Man basement.
- 56:32Speaker 1: I'm just saying a rose of any other word would
- 56:35Speaker 1: smell as sweet of any other name. Sorry, I butchered
- 56:38Speaker 1: that any other name would smell What if they were
- 56:42Speaker 1: called stinch blossoms? That's the line from the Simpsons. So
- 56:45Speaker 1: she explains to Barney, I was trying to dress nice,
- 56:50Speaker 1: but these like I was trying to class myself up
- 56:52Speaker 1: to be in this hotel, but these these bitches wouldn't
- 56:55Speaker 1: let me do that.
- 56:56Speaker 3: And what does Barney do.
- 56:57Speaker 2: Ryan He calls up his friend Bridge at the store.
- 57:01Speaker 5: Bridget and says, I'm sending a friend over there right now,
- 57:06Speaker 5: and her uncle is a very special person at our
- 57:08Speaker 5: hotel and we need her to look great.
- 57:13Speaker 2: So she sends her to the store.
- 57:14Speaker 1: Bridget is extremely nice, and Vivian confesses Edward is not
- 57:19Speaker 1: really my uncle, and Bridge says, they never are, dear.
- 57:23Speaker 5: We also just like sheresize six, how do you know
- 57:25Speaker 5: this is my job?
- 57:28Speaker 3: Yeah, so she goes.
- 57:29Speaker 1: Barney is like speaking to a Japanese businessman in Japanese,
- 57:33Speaker 1: and she just walks right in the middle of the conversation.
- 57:35Speaker 1: It's like, Barney, thank you so much. Bridget was great. Yeah,
- 57:41Speaker 1: and Barney is a good guy and he Richard Gear
- 57:47Speaker 1: calls Vivian and is like, Okay, our dinner is at
- 57:51Speaker 1: seven thirty. You need to be in the lobby at
- 57:53Speaker 1: seven thirty, and she kind of she's kind of joking.
- 57:56Speaker 1: She's like, this is a date. Aren't you going to
- 57:57Speaker 1: come up to the room and like walk me down,
- 57:59Speaker 1: and he's say, this is not a day, this is
- 58:01Speaker 1: business because you're a prostitute. He reminds her multiple times
- 58:05Speaker 1: in this movie, like did we forget this? And she
- 58:09Speaker 1: was like, oh no, no, you're right, you're right. But
- 58:13Speaker 1: she doesn't know. She's really nervous about the dinner. So
- 58:16Speaker 1: what does what does she do?
- 58:17Speaker 3: Andy? Being nervous about the dinner?
- 58:20Speaker 4: What does she do?
- 58:21Speaker 1: All she needs she needs to learn how to behave
- 58:25Speaker 1: at the dinner. So what does she go?
- 58:28Speaker 4: She gets like she asks Barney for etiquette, you know,
- 58:31Speaker 4: table etiquette lessons, just you know how to go throughout
- 58:35Speaker 4: the meal, which utensil to use, and you know, Barney's
- 58:38Speaker 4: the very godmother, great, great, always helpful.
- 58:44Speaker 1: Yeah, Barney's clearly like she doesn't belong here, but she's
- 58:48Speaker 1: a very nice person. So I like her and I'm
- 58:50Speaker 1: going to help her, Whereas a lot of other people
- 58:54Speaker 1: in this rich person world don't care. They're like she's
- 58:59Speaker 1: she's below me and that's it. But Barney's like, she's
- 59:04Speaker 1: not below me. I know she's a fish out of
- 59:06Speaker 1: water and she needs help. But she's a nice person,
- 59:09Speaker 1: so gonna help her.
- 59:11Speaker 5: We're both in the service industry in some way, we're
- 59:13Speaker 5: both taking advantage of we're.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Both being taken advantage of by these rich fucks that
- 59:18Speaker 1: treat us like garbage. So Barney recognizes that, and I
- 59:21Speaker 1: appreciate that. So she gets all dulled up. She looks fantastic.
- 59:28Speaker 1: There's several like she's all that walking down the stairs
- 59:31Speaker 1: scene scenes in this movie where she.
- 59:35Speaker 2: Just why not why many as you want?
- 59:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 59:39Speaker 1: So he Richard gear walks into the bar to pick
- 59:41Speaker 1: her up, and he doesn't recognize her at first.
- 59:43Speaker 3: She's like, He's like, where is she?
- 59:45Speaker 2: Is?
- 59:45Speaker 3: She late?
- 59:46Speaker 1: And she turns around and he goes, oh my god,
- 59:48Speaker 1: from behind, I did not think it was you. I
- 59:51Speaker 1: thought it was somebody else. He looked wonderful. And they
- 59:56Speaker 1: go to a dinner that and Ryan, why don't you
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: explain like the nature of this dinner and how it goes.
- 1:00:04Speaker 5: So he's meeting mister Morse and it's one of the
- 1:00:07Speaker 5: businesses he's looking to buy and separate. And it's meeting
- 1:00:12Speaker 5: mister Morse and his son who is going to be
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: apparently inheriting this business or it's like co owner of
- 1:00:16Speaker 5: the business. And it's very formal as discussed, and they're
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: trying to talk business and he's trying to be much
- 1:00:25Speaker 5: more like straightforward, and she is just trying to figure out,
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: like how to eat the food. The food's flying everywhere,
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: and she's really charming mister Morse Ralph Ellamy, And it's
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: kind of just funny how she almost just from her
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: behavior helps Richard Gear with this deal and even though
- 1:00:43Speaker 5: it has nothing conversationally.
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: To do with what he's doing.
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: Also amazing props that waiter who catches that snail unreal
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: grab happens all.
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: The time, So that guy, I read this trivia fact.
- 1:00:55Speaker 1: So she the scenes, she's trying to open a snail
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: and I've eaten snail snails delicious, but they're like full
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: in the shell. They look disgusting, and slips out of
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: her hand into the air and a waiter catches it
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: and says, happens all the time.
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: So I read that.
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: Gary Marshall was throwing the snails to the waiter and
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: they did like tons of takes until he liked the
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: way the guy caught it, and then he put that
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: guy in like three other movies.
- 1:01:20Speaker 2: Good no, why not? That's great?
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Yeah, good Lune. I liked when they're like first sitting
- 1:01:29Speaker 4: down to dinner, like she's trying to be like very
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: proper and like it's like she wants to go to
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: the bathroom and she's like, oh um, and she kind
- 1:01:38Speaker 4: of liked panics. She's like, I'm going to the ladies
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: room and she's like, do you want to order for you?
- 1:01:41Speaker 4: And she's like, yes, please do so, Like she really like, yeah,
- 1:01:45Speaker 4: she really turns it on, you know.
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: I like that because yeah, he says when she's walking away,
- 1:01:49Speaker 1: he says, the woman to order for you, and at
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: first she turns and goes yeah, and then she says,
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: I mean please do so yes, And I like how
- 1:01:57Speaker 1: the two guys, the two guys hated Richard that he's
- 1:02:00Speaker 1: trying to do business with because Richard Gear is trying
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: to cut their throats. So they hated Richard Gear, but
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: they really like Vivian, And even how much they hated
- 1:02:08Speaker 1: Richard Gear, they didn't let that like ruin their perspective
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: of Vivian. And I like how the old guy because
- 1:02:14Speaker 1: the old guy kind of seems like a self made
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: man that maybe like started off poor and became rich
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: later in life.
- 1:02:20Speaker 3: Richard Gear did not.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: So she's like, wait a minute, we're not having a
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: salad course. I don't know which fork to use then,
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: and then he leans over, and the old guy leans
- 1:02:31Speaker 1: over and says to her, I never knew what fork
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: to use either. So after that he's sort of discussing,
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: like what is his job and what does he really do?
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: And he says, I don't build anything. You and I
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: have a lot of in common. We both screw people
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: for money. And I wrote a note Honestly, what she
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: does is way.
- 1:02:55Speaker 3: More decent than what he does.
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, impact of how many people he might be.
- 1:03:02Speaker 7: Yet he buys, he buys a huge floundering company, rips
- 1:03:10Speaker 7: it to pieces, sells it, takes all the profits, probably
- 1:03:14Speaker 7: lays off thousands of people.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: It's like his what his job is is objectively evil.
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: I don't view being a protested as objectively evil because
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: she she's talking about. First of all, nobody chooses this.
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: This is not your childhood dream. He has all the
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: money in the world, he could do many different things.
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: And at least she's like, in a in a gross way,
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: she's at least trying to make people happy.
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: He's not making anyone happy ever, except for himself.
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: Yeah, except for himself and the Jason now yonder.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: Yep, so.
- 1:03:51Speaker 1: I wrote a note why is he paying for the
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: whole week? They barely spend time together.
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: But I think that it's got the dell.
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this will now be me, This will
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: now be yeah, try me. That's what he does say that.
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: I think this is a good part to bring it
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: to part two because we are over an hour. So
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: this is when she discovers that he can play piano
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: and he actually is playing piano in real life or
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: Tregear apparently knew how to play.
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: Piano real Yeah.
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: Yeah, like Dana Crave, you're playing drums and waves world.
- 1:04:24Speaker 1: It all comes full circle. So we will leave you, Yes,
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: we will leave you here and finish Pretty Woman in
- 1:04:34Speaker 1: part two. The flip nice but seriously, like, don't do
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: that again. Only I say that I could.
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: I'm like, I know this is gonna come. We're gonna
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: snap on Andy about this.
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: Ryan knows better.
