Charlie's Health Adventures
00:00:00
Speaker
Well, hi, Katie. Hi, Emma. How you doing? Good. It's been a while. has been a while. For us, not for listeners.
00:00:11
Speaker
No, it's the magic of podcasting. It makes you feel like you can time travel. No, I was ah just in England. um Charlie is still there. And I am now on what I like to call my Charlie vacation. ah that Everyone needs a little Charlie vacation every now and again.
00:00:25
Speaker
oh boy. boy ah It's so nice. um My whole year is a Charlie vacation. I know!
00:00:34
Speaker
Your whole year is a Charlie vacation. That's very true. Oh, yeah. I'm going to have a Caitlincation in August, and I'm not going to do well with it.
00:00:45
Speaker
Unlike me, you get anxiety and fear that people are going to kill you. uh that's true yes i have very intense um uh feelings of uh of people breaking into the apartment anytime that caitlin's not here and murdering me in my sleep yes i do not have that fear i pee with the door open yeah i i can't do that um calin that's my charlie vacation caitlin exclusively pees with the door open like she never closes the door like she's against it yeah she's very confident i i don't do that when charlie's around i have a little decorum you do oh oh no no no no she doesn't do that no matter who's there i mean i guess if we have if we have people over she will but not like if like really close friends are over i don't think she closes the door
00:01:37
Speaker
Oh, well, good for her. Good for her. I don't think that's true. I mean, i mean, good for her. like That's a very confident peer. don't think that's true.
00:01:48
Speaker
I could never.
00:01:51
Speaker
No, i I used to, I used to lock the door, even if it was, even if I was alone, even if if if it was just Caitlin in the house, I would lock the door every time I went in the bathroom. And I have stopped doing that.
00:02:03
Speaker
Nice. Because what if you like fall? I mean, I'm not in my seventy s so I don't think that's really a- but fall at any age, Katie. You can fall in the shower at any age. It is not age specific.
00:02:20
Speaker
Speaking of old people, speaking of old people, England broke Charlie again. I was telling you like it does every time.
00:02:31
Speaker
Every time. Every single time. a few years ago, we went over for our friend Tanya and Roley's wedding. Charlie got COVID. He was the only one at this like 200 person wedding to get COVID.
00:02:44
Speaker
Last time he went right after we went to Lake Compounce. And so his back was all spasmy. ah And that was last year. And then this year he thought.
00:02:55
Speaker
We did a lot of walking. And so he thought that at first he tells me, oh, I think it's a nerve problem. Cause his entire right side felt like it was like burning, but like it wasn't sunburned. It wasn't anything. He's like, I think that I have a pinched nerve.
00:03:10
Speaker
And I was like, okay, okay. um I'm sorry. He's like, the only thing that can solve it is just time. So I just, I gotta live with this. um I'm pretty sure that's what it is, but I feel a little vindicated in what it is. And I was like, okay.
00:03:22
Speaker
The next day he goes, I think I've got heat rash. I was like, which is it? Is it a pinched nerve? Is it heat rash? What is it? And I was like, well, you should put lotion on your leg if you feel like you've got heat rash.
00:03:35
Speaker
yeah And the next day he's like, i think it's chafing because I didn't wear wick wi sweat wicking clothes when we were doing all that walking and at our wonderful friend Kyle and Laura's beautiful wedding.
00:03:46
Speaker
uh he was in a full suit i was just like i mean that sounds fair also again put lotion even his grandfather's girlfriend val was like would you like some uh you know that like pink lotion that you put on caladryl caladryl she was like we've got some do you want to put some on he goes no no no there's special cream for heat rash that I need to buy. and I was like, okay, but I feel like you should try everything first, but you know, whatever you do, you my dude.
00:04:16
Speaker
And, um and so then i leave and he, he calls his mom. And his mom's like, because obviously like a rash has like started to develop.
00:04:29
Speaker
And so I was just like, well you know, I don't know what heat rash looks like, but maybe that's what that is. And he calls his mom and his mom goes, yeah, it's very most likely heat rash. Could be shingles, but, um but most likely heat rash.
00:04:42
Speaker
And then she's like, keep an eye on it and blah, blah. blah And then he's not old enough for shingles. He's not old enough for shingles. That's an old person disease. Yeah. And,
00:04:55
Speaker
Then I leave England. Charlie's still there. ah He calls me. The first thing he says is, guess who's got shingles?
00:05:07
Speaker
Charlie does. He has fucking shingles. Oh, dear. I mean, that can be serious. I mean, I guess it's not that serious because he's not old. But because it's usually, you know.
00:05:18
Speaker
But I mean... But still, yeah all the people, it is very rare a young person in their 30s gets shingles.
00:05:29
Speaker
And of course, Charlie i had to get it And he he was like, so what happens is when if you get chicken pox, and I've had chicken pox like a gajillion times, which he has, which is bonkers to me.
00:05:39
Speaker
i I thought you could literally only get chicken pox once. No, he's had it six times. But... The man has also had COVID like five times. to say, hasn't he had COVID too many That's not good yeah for you.
00:05:52
Speaker
but No, his a immune system's terrible. That's not good. No, and he's still a boy about being sick, so I don't understand how it's not like period pains to him at this point.
00:06:06
Speaker
You know what women do? We just move on with our lives. We wallow for maybe 24 hours.
00:06:15
Speaker
some Some better than others, to be fair. um Yeah, some better than others. That's true. um but ah And so he he was just like, so the chicken pox virus lays dormant in your body ah and it never leaves.
00:06:29
Speaker
And then stress can bring it out into shingles. all viruses. True of all viruses. It's very true. And like stress can come out. And I was just like, Charlie, who does not exercise on a regular basis, no matter how much I tell him he needs to, because maybe once or twice a year we go on these holidays where we do a lot of walking and he basically breaks his little precious little body and he's just like, I can't move.
00:06:54
Speaker
Everything hurts. And like, well, maybe if you exercise on a regular basis, it wouldn't hurt as bad. And he goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. And then I'm like, well, maybe you should exercise more. and He goes, whatever. And then he doesn't. And then the cycle just repeats itself.
00:07:05
Speaker
And um and so we had gone on. We had done a lot of walking and I was like, you mean stress on your body? It goes, no, no, Mental stress. yeah yeah i was like i think it's stress on your body charles i'm pretty sure the stress you put on your body from not walking around and then going to a country that is strictly walking in public transit everywhere and we do 20 000 steps in a day which you've never done i'm pretty sure that's what gave you shingles he doesn't leave the house much otherwise right he does not no i mean now that he has his driver's license a little bit more
00:07:44
Speaker
Yeah, but he's not walking. He's not walking. He's not walking. I'll tell you that much. He's not walking. um um To the comic book store. Right. And the record shop.
00:07:56
Speaker
And the record shop. Oh, my days. ah Yeah. So Charlie's in England. And he went
Cultural and Social Observations
00:08:05
Speaker
to see to the cricket today, and um he's got shingles.
00:08:09
Speaker
I like how you've... i I mean, I guess this is what they do in England, but you've called it go to see the cricket twice now, which makes me and imagine, like, there's a big cricket. There's a big cricket! You're going to see the cricket.
00:08:20
Speaker
to go see the cricket! Which sounds terrifying to me. Or adorable, if it's a very nice cricket. Like, what noise do crickets make? They go...
00:08:31
Speaker
um No, they don't. They go... No! No, no. yeah I mean, it's hard for us to make crickets go like
00:08:41
Speaker
like it's definitely don't go. eat Have you heard cricket before? Yes. They make those high pitched sounds and they go.
00:08:55
Speaker
No, crickets go like, like it's a, you know, like, like a bee. Oh my god, no, no no they don't.
00:09:06
Speaker
It's like, you know, like the punchline. If somebody says a joke that doesn't land and you hear the cricket sound. Cricket, cricket, cricket, cricket. Crickets go like this.
00:09:20
Speaker
How is that not E to you? E, its
00:09:28
Speaker
Thomas is so interested in what we're here doing right now. Oh, wow. There's a big photo of a cricket on that video. I hate that. That's the cricket. Look at Thomas's little face. He's like, what are they talking about? Thanks, producer Thomas.
00:09:41
Speaker
Thanks, Producer Thomas. We'll take those notes into consideration. um But yeah, so we went to this beautiful wedding, which was absolutely, oh my God, Katie, you would have freaking loved this wedding. It was in ah on a farm in the countryside of East, Southeast England. So like over by Brighton. Well, there's one thing I wouldn't have liked about the wedding right there.
00:10:06
Speaker
It being in England. That's correct, yeah. and There were several times that I got drunk on this trip that I would go around um the very first night, which was the before wedding, day before drinks. And ah I constantly was like, I'm so sorry for my country!
00:10:23
Speaker
I'm so sorry. And everyone was like, is everything as bad as we think it is over there? And I would go, it's worse. It's pretty bad. Yeah. It's pretty bad. It's pretty bad. Yeah. um Yeah.
00:10:35
Speaker
I think for the the first time in a in a very long time, England has got ah a slight edge on yeah on um on America in terms of being a terrible country. But I would also get drunk and um say, why does your country hate trans people?
00:10:52
Speaker
It's a good question. like ah They also hate the disabled. So there's lots of. Yeah. Yeah. There's lots of things. ah ah No countries are good. we should We should also throw that out there. It's says a baseline of terribleness.
00:11:10
Speaker
Yep. don't know. I keep seeing TikToks of people living in France and that seems pretty nice. um France does seem pretty nice. i am I don't speak French though. If we were going to flee, i think I think France might be number one because it's it's cheaper than America.
00:11:26
Speaker
Yeah. And um I can speak a little bit of French and I'm sure it would be easier for me to learn that than, you know. Dutch or something. Yeah.
00:11:36
Speaker
And like everything I've seen is just sort of like we love people so we give them rights and. Well, I mean, there's a stand. There's a standard that happens when you murder your rulers at some point in history. um Yeah. Because, you know, there's always the possibility of that coming back.
00:11:53
Speaker
So, yeah.
00:11:57
Speaker
Have we thought about the guillotine?
00:12:02
Speaker
I think about it all the time. I think about it all the time.
Introduction to 'Go Get Your Girl' Podcast
00:12:08
Speaker
That is how I end up in the guillotine. Speaking of which, ah and by speaking of which, I mean weddings. Weddings! Famously featured.
00:12:22
Speaker
In today's film. Yeah. That's right, guys. You guessed it. This is Go Get Your Girl. This is the podcast where Emma and Katie ah have a gajillion
Discussion on 'Plus One' Film
00:12:34
Speaker
weddings to go to because it's wedding season and they're at that age where everyone and their mom is getting married. And one of them just got out of a really long-term relationship. The other one is just super, super picky about dating and real weird about it. The other one is a stupid asshole.
00:12:50
Speaker
A stupid asshole who's hot. um
00:12:57
Speaker
And they go to a bunch of weddings and slowly fall in love and then bada bing, bada boom. There you have it. Yeah. All right, so this was Go Get Your Girl. Thanks for listening.
00:13:08
Speaker
And that is the movie. Yep. If you like us, like and subscribe. ah Yeah, so this is Plus One from 2019, written and directed by Jeff Chan and Andrew Reimer, who have some shorts before this and nothing after this. And they have one episode of Pen15 that they wrote and directed.
00:13:31
Speaker
and Or just directed, maybe? and And, but that was after this. So I think they met like Maya Erskine. Oh, that was after this? Well, the same year. So my assumption was that this was filmed in 2018 and then released in 2019. So my guess is they met Maya Erskine through this and then she got them to do the episode of 15. Yeah.
00:13:46
Speaker
Nice. Would be my assumption. um And that's pretty much it. They don't really have, they're not, they have something that's, you know, in in production or whatever, but it's not real.
00:13:57
Speaker
It's not real until you have cameras. It's been six years. So, um... yeah Yeah. Who knows? Something else happened. But yeah, this is a rom-com starring Maya Erskine. Am I saying that right?
00:14:11
Speaker
Yeah. Erskine? Erskine? Erskine. And Jack Quaid. Yes. And every single funny comedian in Los Angeles, I should say. Yeah, Grant O'Brien showed up. Yeah, Grant O'Brien.
00:14:22
Speaker
yeah jump scare um and one of the britannic guys plays a bartender real life ah oh this is the first of emma's fun facts emma's fun facts real life husband and wife duo oh man i should pull up their names before i start talking about them um real life hu husband been and wife duo beck bennett and jesse hodges Oh, yeah, i recognize Beck Bennett. Yeah.
00:14:46
Speaker
Yeah, Jesse Hodges is his real life wife, who is also a comedy actress who was in a bunch of Britannic videos. And then now she's on. um Well, she was on um that movie about or that TV show that was on HBO.
00:15:01
Speaker
Barry. She was on Barry. Oh, yeah. With um Bill Hader. Yeah, she played the blonde chick's agent. um But she does, I don't know what else she's been in, but I know that they're real life husband and wife duo because they met doing a Britannic short. And why am I such a Britannic nerd?
00:15:17
Speaker
You clearly are something I had never heard of until an episode of this like a couple months ago. fucking love them so much um yeah so we start with some real wedding speeches uh and then we're introduced to ben and alice who this is a friends to lovers rom-com yes it is they were friends in college and and they happen to be at this wedding together uh she has recently broke but but she has recently broken up with her longtime boyfriend nate who sucks who is's cheated on her or maybe just i think yeah he cheated on her i don't know if it's because well it's she says it's like that girl in yeah yeah but it's like i thought that it was that other chick that she kept mentioning ah i don't know i don't know um not important
00:16:14
Speaker
It's implied that he cheated on her and he yeah he sucks. And yeah, we start off with the two of them. they're They're, it seems like, you know, they're not super close or anything, but they they probably were in college and they're at this wedding together. And so they're hanging out and she- Um, this, I guess we'll get into that later, but like this should have been a star making turn for Maya Erskine.
00:16:35
Speaker
It honestly should have. So fucking good in this movie. I mean, this movie, I'm not going lie. This movie has been on my list for ages because. Oh, so you've never seen this. I've never seen it. Um, and I love Maya and I love Jack.
00:16:49
Speaker
I love both those actors. So yeah. Big time. Yeah. Um, and this movie did not disappoint i fucking loved this movie from start to finish really good yeah lulled so hard uh i have to assume that very nice people wrote it because of all the fantastic nice comedians that were in it and because everybody that's in it is like actually like even in like little bit parts they're all friends like there's so many people from dropout on this like yeah you you have to be like oh well obviously somebody in charge of this was just sort of like you want to be in this movie
00:17:22
Speaker
yeah uh ben stiller was an executive producer i noticed i saw that yeah way to go ben stiller uh but yeah i also agree i think it should been like a star turning role my guess is that these guys are los angeles improv people that would be my oh yeah yeah yeah they've got to be um yeah so they um
00:17:47
Speaker
A lot of my notes are just lines that
Wedding Stories and Etiquette
00:17:49
Speaker
I wrote down. Yeah. ah Where he... is So Ginny from Ginny and Georgia, or perhaps Georgia from Ginny and Georgia, whichever one is the mom. Gotcha. ah Is Jess Ramsey, who is the girl that Jack Hoyne wants to to hook up with at the first wedding.
00:18:08
Speaker
And he... Who... um He is trying to, ah who also wasn't, wasn't Jess Ramsey the name of the canine mystery?
00:18:19
Speaker
think it was. It was something Ramsey. Oh, no, it's Jazz Ramsey. Jazz Ramsey. and I also thought that the name was like very familiar. I was like, Jazz Ramsey. Why is that so cute?
00:18:30
Speaker
Pretty close. If she had dog, then... Yeah, so Jess Ramsey, a canine mystery, he's dancing with her, and she's like she's concerned about Alice, who's very drunk, who just shouts, Hey, Ben, come touch this kid's arm. It's so soft. It's so soft.
00:18:49
Speaker
um So that's that's like the first note that I wrote down. So that's going to super helpful throughout all of this. I also watched this movie last night instead of this morning. So I've already forgotten most of it.
00:19:00
Speaker
I also watched it last night, but um
00:19:06
Speaker
I had it with like a glass of wine. And so... yeah and This is going to be loosey-goosey. The next note I have see is he can he comes back to the hotel to find her watching porn and he says, what you doing? She says, catching up on old episodes of Bones.
00:19:20
Speaker
Yes! I wrote that down too! It's like catching up on old episodes of Bones. um so yeah they um they have a bunch of weddings to go to she has four weddings and he has six um so there's 10 weddings total weddings which gives you a structure for a film and that is insane that's a lot of fucking weddings i think think maybe i had like three or maybe four weddings in one year um when i was like 28 29 but that is the most by far yeah uh
00:19:56
Speaker
ah Luckily, all of my friends have spread out their weddings over a large chunk of years. So it's been nice to like, I mean, I had two in June alone this year, but that those are the only weddings that I'm going to.
00:20:10
Speaker
haven't had in a while. What are your thoughts on ah going to weddings? Do you enjoy it? Do you not it? I love weddings. I mean, I host a rom-com podcast, so I think...
00:20:21
Speaker
ah
00:20:24
Speaker
think I love weddings because I love love. But like, I also haven't been to a wedding as a single person in a very long time. Not since college, really. Yeah, I've never been.
00:20:36
Speaker
ah no, I went as a single person once. The second time I went as a single person, but I was with my gay best friend. And so that doesn't really count because you have someone to hang out with. Sure. yeah Yeah, yeah, Well, I mean, I always had someone to hang out with, but like I like I had a couple of of friends get married One of my friends got married. I mean, he was older than us. So I think he had just graduated and then got married like the summer after he graduated from college. And I was like a yeah going into a junior year maybe as a in college.
00:21:07
Speaker
And I think that was the last wedding I went to like completely single, um like not even dating anybody. Yeah, I've never done the wedding hookup thing.
00:21:18
Speaker
I almost did at that wedding. It's funny. Okay, well, i'll tell but I guess I'll tell this. I was going to tell it later because I was going to ask like when they're in the pool later and then they almost kiss. I was going to say, have you ever had like one of those almost kiss moments?
00:21:32
Speaker
All the time. All the time? Literally with everyone I meet.
00:21:38
Speaker
No, you don't. I mean, how do you know, Katie?
Dreams and the Supernatural
00:21:44
Speaker
How do you know? You're just almost kissing everyone you meet. Just everyone. I just go up to everyone like,
00:21:50
Speaker
That's how you introduce me. Hi, my name is Emma. Just go chin to chin real quick.
00:22:00
Speaker
But yes, I have had that before and it's so sexy, but also so infuriating. Yeah, for real. um Yeah, so we were at this wedding. um I'm going to change this person's name.
00:22:11
Speaker
yeah um Let's call them Sam. Sam. It's nice and gender neutral too. Yeah, that was the name of my fake son this morning. Oh, nice. There you go. Yeah.
00:22:22
Speaker
No context on that. If you, if you listened to previous episodes and you understand that good for you. Go
00:22:33
Speaker
on. We were at this wedding and we were at, it was after the wedding was over. We were at this host, we were at the, at the hotel and there were a bunch of us in the hotel room. Everyone left for some reason or another. I don't remember why.
00:22:47
Speaker
the two of us were left alone in in the in the room and maybe they went to go get like alcohol or I don't remember yeah um but there was the I mean like the two of us started like playfully pillow fighting it was just yeah like yeah silly and they're yeah and like we were your there and then this person like kind of pinned me to the bed and like got that like really really close like
00:23:19
Speaker
something's about to start happening and then somebody came in like immediately yeah it was a very uh rom-com moment yeah right jesus christ that would be the moment where like you're like oh damn and then you walk out and then they run after you and they kiss you in the hall we didn't do that nothing ever came of it stupid yeah um so weddings weddings so they have 10 weddings to go to yeah weddings that's a lot and that is pretty much the whole movie is is the weddings there's a little bit um there's a so they they we almost immediately go to the next wedding that she convinces him to come to with her yeah because she's just broken up with her boyfriend and she's very vulnerable and
00:24:08
Speaker
So he agrees to do it. They, and she's like, I'll help you hook up with, you know, people at the wedding. I can be your wingman. And he's like, fine. And so they go to this first wedding and that's when they mentioned that they have all these weddings. And she's like, well, why don't we just do all of the weddings together? yeah Like, we'll just be each other's plus one for the whole summer.
00:24:29
Speaker
and he's like that sounds terrible i don't want to go to even more weddings than i was already going to go and she convinces him to do it so that's the that's the i mean like to be fair she has some good points which is um you don't have to sit at the singles table uh which is always awkward you um can split the cost of the hotel room um you'll always have someone to hang out with and um i mean the hotel room is the one that really got me because i was like man it's fucking expensive im going to all those weddings was like, yeah, if I have someone to split the cost of going to these weddings, absolutely. Yeah, but they have to sleep in the same bed all the time, too. Oh, my god Right? And she wants to snuggle, and he's like, no, we're not snuggling.
00:25:13
Speaker
um because Because if I get a boner, then you're going to look into it, and um and then things are going be weird. But if then if I don't get a boner, you're going to feel not pretty, and you're going to get mad at me You're going to read into the boner.
00:25:26
Speaker
Yes. That's true. That's, that's, that's, yeah, we do that. Yeah, exactly. do that. He. Cause everyone knows that your penis goes directly to your heart.
00:25:38
Speaker
That's true.
00:25:41
Speaker
and They build it that way on purpose. Yep. So that boners don't lie. Yeah.
00:25:50
Speaker
I hope that's the clip for Instagram. Yes. Boners don't lie. Just like Shakira said, these hips don't lie. Those boners don't lie.
00:26:01
Speaker
um And we kind of get into like what his deal is and why he sucks. Because like, as we talked about in a lot of these, like there's always a problem, right? In a rom-com. has to be some kind of issue.
00:26:13
Speaker
In bad rom-coms, it's some kind of misunderstanding that's taken too far and like people don't listen to each other. And in this one, it's that he's an asshole. ah Yeah. Yeah.
00:26:25
Speaker
He just is very specific and wants a perfect relationship, which is not possible. Right. And it's kind of like linked to his dad. So there's this subplot with his dad, who's Ed Begley Jr. Yeah.
00:26:39
Speaker
Sweet, sweet, sweet Ed Begley Jr. um Who um is very charming and is ah is his dad who has a younger girlfriend with young kids yes and he is getting married he tells him i'm getting um i just got engaged we're gonna get married at the end of october and i want you to be my best man and jack quaid because he's an asshole is like yeah no won't be your best man which is just like come on dude i mean for your dad but it is his dad's third marriage they say yeah but still like
00:27:14
Speaker
yeah i guess i it's just sort of like weird and like he's still really hung up on the fact that his dad his mom and his dad aren't together even though they haven't been together for what i can tell most of his life well yeah he says when he was a kid yeah i am yeah um but he's just he's so hung up because his parents got divorced and so then he promised himself that if he was ever to get in a relationship it would be the most perfect relationship yeah so you can't do that obviously you can't do that it's basically no relationships exactly Which I guess is realistic. um But he mostly just comes off as a stupid asshole and throughout the movie.
00:27:53
Speaker
For one reason or another. But he's charming because he's Jack Quaid. He is. Yeah, and he's hot. um yeah And yeah she is she is so funny and charming in this movie. She's incredible.
00:28:05
Speaker
Oh my God. and um She describes ah ah shaving. We got to run the raccoons out of the trash cans. Yes.
00:28:17
Speaker
Got to run the raccoons out of the trash can. Which I call it going dolphin mode. So ah nice. definiteing euphemism Yeah. ah She doesn't, she says something else for, for shaving her butthole too.
00:28:30
Speaker
but She just says, I have hair on my ass and vagina after he looks at her after she says, I got to run the raccoons out of the trash.
00:28:45
Speaker
Their friendship is really well drawn. The two of them have a lot of really good chemistry together. They have really good, they have really good friendship chemistry and really good romantic chemistry, which is not the same thing. It's not. And it's really refreshing to see and really nice to see.
00:28:59
Speaker
um Another thing that I thought that was really refreshing and nice to see was sort of the um spectrum of different kinds of weddings. I mean, we didn't get like a full spectrum of weddings, but at least like not every single wedding was in like a ballroom.
00:29:12
Speaker
And like at one point there was like folding chairs and beer pong. yeah yeah So I appreciated that we we took into context that not everybody has a fancy smancy hotel wedding.
00:29:26
Speaker
Yeah, but they do. um They are, ah might like many rom-com protagonists, just kind of um ah independently wealthy. Yep, we don't know what they do.
00:29:39
Speaker
Anonymously well off. um yeah He is a VP of a startup, he says, and he yeah doesn't like it and wants to quit. And she does something because she has the ability to fire the girl from HR who slept with her boyfriend.
00:29:52
Speaker
um But she doesn't do it. So no one knows what she does. We don't know the specifics of their jobs. We just know that they have jobs. But they have the weekend. They have 10. I mean, 10 weekends is basically the whole summer. Like that's there's there's only like 12 weeks in the summer. That's so exhausting.
00:30:09
Speaker
And like some of these are have to be very expensive. Like the one of them they go to. what they call Hawaii, but it's very clearly not Hawaii. It's Los Angeles. Yeah. That's the next of Emma's Fun Facts, Emma's Fun Facts.
00:30:22
Speaker
They shot Hawaii in Los Angeles, and the way that they proved that it was Hawaii. No doi.
00:30:29
Speaker
They switched the license plate on the cab that drops Alice off at the hotel to a Hawaii license plate. Yeah, it's ah it's a fairly low budget movie. I mean, it's almost all interiors. Like the weddings like would be the the biggest expense for sure. i mean, there's no there's no names in this movie. I mean, this is six i mean six years ago, um Jack Quaid was even less of a name than he is now. I mean, even now you would have to describe him as the guy from The Boys for someone who you're talking about.
00:31:00
Speaker
Or the guy whose mom is Meg Ryan and dad is den Dennis Quaid. Well, yeah, but I mean, that doesn't tell anybody who they they are. or the guy who is um very, ah the biggest fan of the Lonely Island and Seth Meyers podcast. And they talk about him all the time.
00:31:20
Speaker
um Oh, nice. There you go. Yeah, there you go. don't listen to Seth Meyers. I didn't know Seth Meyers had a podcast. Played Army. um I know that every celebrity has a podcast. They're contractually obligated to have a podcast where they interview their friends because it works our parents. It's where all our podcast is going. Why won't it work for everyone? Yeah, unsubscribe from Seth Meyers podcast. Yep. And wait, we don't have a- Give money.
00:31:45
Speaker
We don't have a Patreon. Not yet. Not yet, baby. Seth Meyers doesn't need your money. No, you know who does? these two fools who just love romantic comedies.
00:31:58
Speaker
It's true. Yes.
00:32:02
Speaker
I need a new car. ah Yeah.
00:32:07
Speaker
So, yes, they start going to weddings and then they, um at one of them, they have sex in a graveyard, which is wild. That is wild. And then the next...
00:32:20
Speaker
The next morning on the groundskeeper. Because your cooters out. He doesn't say He just goes cooters out. Cooters out. and she goes He means my vagina.
00:32:34
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:37
Speaker
um Have you ah ah First of all Having sex in ah in a graveyard is is One thing but sleeping there until Morning is another is crazy I mean they walked all over Los Angeles They were very far from their hotel They got lost and they ended up in a graveyard And they decided to fuck in the graveyard Which is yeah and then falls late spooky Yeah well I mean It might be fun could be fun In a graveyard?
00:33:06
Speaker
the gobyard. You believe in ghosts, Emma. I do believe in ghosts, but I don't believe that you can fuck a ghost into yourself.
00:33:17
Speaker
That's not my concern. What's your concern? A ghost can't kill you. How do you know? Because ghosts don't kill people.
00:33:28
Speaker
how People kill people. You don't know. If you believe in ghosts, you certainly can't know if they can hurt you or not. i mean... Poltergeists are another thing.
00:33:39
Speaker
oh my god. Demons are a completely other thing. all right Ghosts are just people that died and they're here and sometimes they're sad and sometimes they're mad. Alright, so this is a Sixth Sense version of ghosts that we're talking about here. Yeah, yeah.
00:33:55
Speaker
I mean, they can make your life a living hell, but they can't hurt you So you would say like a ghost is like in the movie Ghost. A poltergeist is like in the movie Poltergeist. Yeah. Yeah. And a demon is like the conjuring.
00:34:10
Speaker
In the movie that I was going to try to think of a movie called Demon, but surely there is one. Oh, I bet there is. ah Yeah. So they agree not to talk about the sex. They said, let's just chalk it up to whoopsie daisy. And he says, and he says, ah, cool sex, bring it in and hugs her.
00:34:27
Speaker
Oh, it's very cute. Also, can we talk about diner tilapia? um Absolutely, yes. They go to this diner. Was it like after the first wedding?
00:34:41
Speaker
Maybe. it no it's i think Yeah, it's after one of the early ones. yess before they are one Yeah, before they sleep together. And she goes, oh this is disgusting. And he goes, well, maybe you shouldn't have ordered the diner tilapia, which I felt so seen in that moment because every airport I go into, i always order some fish-based snack.
00:35:01
Speaker
Why? don't know don't know it's become a running joke with my cousin charlie and myself like i don't i just every time i'm in an airport i want i want crave the call of the sea yeah i i really want smoked salmon i really want um a fish filet okay interesting sushi airport sushi is not i mean like you're gonna be on a plane like you don't know what that's gonna do to you
00:35:38
Speaker
i just i like to live life to the fullest um but yeah he says you are orders just a toop in der though like just
00:35:51
Speaker
to live life to the fullest as far as pooping goes the rest of my life. As far as pooping You've got to know what you're made of, Katie. Can you hold in diarrhea for seven hours?
00:36:03
Speaker
Absolutely not.
00:36:09
Speaker
But I'm also a vegetarian and yeah um don't have to deal with ah you know fish, at least. That's true. Very, very true. But lettuce will fuck you up. I mean, but lettuce can go bad. Oh, lettuce can absolutely go bad. Yeah.
00:36:23
Speaker
Yeah. You can get salmonella from lettuce. Yeah. they go to Hawaii, which is the next stop. Sorry. Hawaii. Yeah.
00:36:33
Speaker
ah Something that looks ab looks like suburban Los Angeles and then a shot of of some beach. Yep. And yeah, cause I wrote, is this supposed to, cause they don't mention, they don't say it's Hawaii for a while. Cause my note is, is this supposed to be Hawaii? It doesn't look like Hawaii. Oh dang, it is.
00:36:51
Speaker
It's Hawaii. Um, yeah. Cause I haven't seen this movie since I think it came out pretty much. Um, cause it like, this was a straight to Hulu, uh, movie. And now it's, it's not even on Hulu anymore. I to watch it on Tubi with ads.
00:37:05
Speaker
That's what I had to do. And i was like, what the fuck is this nonsense? Yeah. Yeah. um so they um So they've hooked up and now they're being weird about it. um and When she gets out of the cab, she says to the cab driver, the last time I saw Ben, he was putting his little penisaurus inside of me in a graveyard.
00:37:27
Speaker
So great. So great. It makes him laughed out loud. Yeah. Yeah. I don't have that kind of confidence in relationships. Like I, wish that I did honestly. Like she's so full of confidence that I'm yes.
00:37:43
Speaker
I'm here for it. Aspirational character for me. Right. ah For a lot of people. I mean, a fucking Jack Quaid is part of it. i I'm not going to lie. Yeah. oh Oh, 1000% over here.
00:37:55
Speaker
um ah you ever had a sex dream about Jack Quaid? Yeah. I have not. i have well I think we've talked about this in this podcast. I have almost zero sex dreams. No, dream. I dream a lot. I have, like, just last night, I dreamt that I kept running into Pedro Pascal in downtown Chicago.
00:38:12
Speaker
But you didn't fuck him? No, it was not romantic in the least. It was just, like, very cordial. I had a sex dream about Jack Quaid. good for I envy you. Like, I would love to have sex dreams about celebrities.
00:38:27
Speaker
It was more of a... slowly falling in love and over time and then we grow old together oh wow then we bang you know the notebook style but was it like that episode of the magicians it was like your whole life in one day yes i really hope jackweed never listens to this podcast i hope he does a
00:38:53
Speaker
um Yeah, i write like it was Pedro Pascal and his son. i don't think he has a son. i don't think he has a son, yeah. But in my dream, he had a son who was like 17 something. um And i just kept running into him and like people were being weird around him and I was being normal so we were like having a conversation. it was very strange. That is so bizarre. I always have dreams that are like somewhere between banal and bizarre where it's like yeah there's not something not quite right. And then sometimes I have like really ah
00:39:23
Speaker
like absurd dreams or really terrifying dreams. But the last time I had a sex dream was like years ago and it was about Zac Efron. um So, you know, not someone who like I think about on a regular basis. Yeah. Not like a celebrity crush of mine or anything. It's just like, yeah.
00:39:42
Speaker
Huh. Huh. Who knows? Who knows? Yeah. I have a, I have a friend who has sex rooms all the time. Like, Yeah. Multiple times a month she has sex dreams. and like i Yeah. yeah I don't know if that like means that like we're the repressed ones.
00:40:03
Speaker
I don't know. And it's like, it's built up so much that it can only come out in your brain while you're unconscious. You know, I don't know. There's a lot we don't know about dreams.
00:40:15
Speaker
That's true. That's true. Yeah. um Oh, my friend Gia is having a sleep study tomorrow. very fun. i know. it's very shit they They gave her this box that she's going to do it at her house. And she's going hook all these like stuff up to her brain and like measure her brain waves while she's sleeping. That's so cool.
00:40:32
Speaker
I know. I think it's cool. I mean, she's having it done because she doesn't sleep and she needs to know Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But like, it sounds really cool to us that do sleep and want to know what happens up there.
00:40:43
Speaker
Yeah, exactly. What's going on? So, uh, yeah, so they're in Hawaii and, um, that everyone immediately calls them out on it and they're like, yeah, okay, fine. We fucked.
00:40:55
Speaker
Um, I, uh, I, I love her little jumpsuit she's wearing. super cute. And then I wrote, she's so charming. Maybe I should watch Mr. And Mrs. Smith. It's so good.
00:41:06
Speaker
You haven't watched it yet. i'm not going to watch it. It's so good. Like cause like, I was like, oh, an action, an action TV show. I don't want to watch an action TV show about spies.
00:41:20
Speaker
ah But then I watched it and like, honestly, famously hate spies. ah hate spies. I mean, she says as she's been binge watching slow horses while Charlie's been gone.
00:41:31
Speaker
Oh, isn't that, it's like a spy show that's boring. That's what their deal is, right? Yeah. but It's actually really good. It's really good. People tell me I need to watch Andor and Slow Horses, and I'm not going to watch any of those things. I've been told I need to watch Andor.
00:41:47
Speaker
I'm not going to watch Andor. I don't do Star Wars. and they're like, but it's not Star Wars. I was like, but yeah I don't care. I don't care. I'm not watching a Star War. Not again. and I'm not a Star Warring. they they've they They had me before and I watched one Star War too many. Yep.
00:42:03
Speaker
And then they lost me. Yeah. Goodness gracious. ah But yeah, so they're at the wedding with the gays. So off topic.
00:42:17
Speaker
um ah We should say that ah Real Estate does the music for this, which is this like classic 2000s, 2010s indie band whose guitarist got um accused of a bunch of sexual misbeads.
00:42:34
Speaker
Well, by the time this movie came out, he was already out of the band. And like that had already happened. and But a lot of the... ah most ah most of the songs are from when he was in the band and he's not the songwriter or the singer or anything he's the guitarist um he's still but it's still a little it's still a little uh uncomfy i would say when i saw music by real estate i was like oh um but i'm sure the other guys in that band are are you know perfectly fine as from they kicked him out immediately when it happened and we assumed that was the first they knew about it yeah you know exactly
00:43:09
Speaker
Who knows? the music's really good. I mean, It's Real, which is the the song that they play right here during the like romance montage in Hawaii, is like one of the all-time indie, 2000s indie songs.
00:43:24
Speaker
um it's ah It's a classic in that genre. Yeah, yeah, yeah. um and And yeah, so they they like, why don't we stay a couple of days in Hawaii afterward? And then they have um like a real relationship and we get this adorable so nice montage. yeah yeah And then they're holding hands.
00:43:43
Speaker
Yep. They're like, I kept waiting for the, because because it's a rom-com and because like Hollywood has fucked with my brain at so many times, I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop.
00:43:54
Speaker
For someone to be like, I'm so uncomfortable. And I mean, eventually it does, but not like in the way that I thought it was going to happen. No, no, no. It is much more realistic. It is. Yeah, which is nice.
00:44:05
Speaker
I mean, honestly, this is almost a ah rom-com drama. Yeah. This much more, i think it's it's it's got high highs in terms of comedy and also, like, it's um it gets very real yeah at the end as well.
00:44:19
Speaker
Oh, for sure. And it does it does a great job. I think it it really walks that line really well. Yeah. I cried at the end. Oh, yeah, I didn't. Yeah. Which always the thing. Yeah. It is. No, I cry all the time. i Well, Caitlin, i was this morning, um i had I was brushing my teeth and Caitlin was in the bed when she was watching a video and I finished brushing my teeth and I came in and I just leaned over her shoulder and watch it was the video of Charlie Chaplin from The Great Dictator, the big speech at the end.
00:44:46
Speaker
And I just started crying immediately. like Have you seen The Great Dictator? I haven't, seen but I know the clip that you're talking about. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. um It's a great movie. Oh. um so yeah i'll cry at anything but i didn't know yeah it is uh i didn't cry at this um and then it's her younger sister getting married which she has not been looking forward to yeah and he is at their house and having to interact with her family as they have just started dating which has got to be super awkward um how how did carly's family for the first time go for you super stressful
00:45:26
Speaker
I'm sure. um Well, because like we had decided that we were going to get married and I like hadn't met anyone. And so we.
Meeting Family and Relationship Dynamics
00:45:34
Speaker
Oh, so you were engaged by the time you met them.
00:45:36
Speaker
Yeah. And so we went up to Birmingham and they had just come back from Egypt the night before. la. I know. Egypt is England. for Is Charlie's family loaded?
00:45:50
Speaker
No, and how it's England's Florida. Okay. Fair enough. Yeah. It's like, you know how everyone goes to- I feel like that's a disservice to Egypt.
00:46:00
Speaker
It absolutely is. To the proud people of Egypt. but It absolutely is. um But i you can go to Egypt for relatively cheap and you can go ride a camel and be in a place where hot does not equal 86 degrees. Hot actually is hot.
00:46:18
Speaker
Yeah, but it's not human. yeah Yeah. has you Have you ever been to Egypt? I haven't. I've always wanted to go. i would love to go to Egypt. I would absolutely love to go to Egypt. I mean, the love started semi-skeying. I was just going to say, like, dress like um like Rachel Weisz in The Mummy.
00:46:37
Speaker
Yep. The love started 1999. Minus the eyebrows. Minus the eyebrows. Her eyebrows from movie two. are much better. Well, here's the thing. It's interesting because in 1999, it's hard to know because 1999 was very big for very tiny eyebrows, but so was 1930 or the movie set. So know. No, 1924? Yeah, the because six years later, the I don't know it's her...
00:47:02
Speaker
yeah it's this yeah it's the twenty s um yeah because six i dont know i don't know if it's if it's her Maybe just a coincidence that that's what her eyebrows looks like. And they also were, she was playing a character from the twenties because her eyebrows are very period in that movie. And you never see people do that in movies set in the twenties now because it's difference.
00:47:22
Speaker
Yeah. And it's hard to grow them back. no Who knows if they'll grow back right. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. and And by the time the movie returns came out, she was like a much bigger actress who maybe didn't want to do her eyebrows again. Yeah. Or maybe just, you I don't have to do that.
00:47:40
Speaker
I do have the original DVD here, which has multiple commentaries. And I've wanted to rewatch that. It's because the Blu-ray that I have does not have the commentaries. It doesn't. No, Blu-rays, like, most Blu-rays are shit. Like, if it's not Criterion Collection, they didn't they don't bother putting anything on there. like What?
00:47:57
Speaker
What's the point of buying, like, a DVD or a Blu-ray if it's not going to have special features? This is the DVD from, like, 2000, the Ultimate Edition. It's three discs. Fuck yeah.
00:48:11
Speaker
um It has commentary with director Stephen Summers and editor Bob Duske. Commentary with ah with actor Brendan Fraser and actress Rachel Weisz.
00:48:23
Speaker
Commentary with Oded Fair, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Arnold Boslow. It's got three different commentaries. And then it's got like several different documentaries. Hell yeah. It's got DVD-ROM features.
00:48:35
Speaker
and Oh my god. i don't even know that. i have I have the like triple DVD that has The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and then The Scorpion King, which I've never watched. Well, I've got the Blu-ray that's The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and The Mummy Curse of the Dragon Emperor. Oh, yeah, no, I also never watched that.
00:48:51
Speaker
and The Mummy only ends with The Mummy Returns. There's no other Mummy. um Yeah, for real. yeah I've only seen The Curse of the Dragon Emperor one time. I saw it in the theater in New York.
00:49:02
Speaker
uh i just moved to new york and that movie and had kind had come out and i god did i go see it by myself i might have seen it by myself i don't remember i hate to go to the movies by myself so i doubt it but i didn't have any friends so unless somebody when it was the mummy yeah i mean like i was so adamant that i i that because rachel vice wasn't it that i was is like absolutely not Yeah.
00:49:27
Speaker
My dad, I saw Iron Man with my dad because that was that summer too. And that was yeah because i I didn't have any money and I didn't have any friends. And I lived in New York. Well, like I just moved there. Like I yeah literally didn't know anybody. New York City, baby. I made some friends pretty quickly, but like I had this was like, I'd only been there for weeks at this point.
00:49:47
Speaker
um Yeah. You hadn't met anyone. Yeah. My dad... And I saw Iron Man together before he went back home. um And then like I saw Slumdog Millionaire and The Mummy, Curse of the Dragon Emperor. And I think those might have been the only movies I saw. Because like I also didn't have any money, you know? Yeah.
00:50:04
Speaker
Yeah. had an internship that gave me a Metro card and like $140 a buddy. Yay! o betty yeah yay um so that's got nothing to do with yep anyways so back to the movie yeah um he's starting to get freaked out at how serious things are getting very quickly um yeah his her her parents are adorable and very very sweet her mom is just like her it's funny yes oh my god it's so good and also they're just sort of like i guess i'm here and her dad is like
00:50:43
Speaker
A lot of dads. Yeah. Yeah. Like at one point, um ah either she or her mom is just like, go see if you can help my dad with the grilling. And so he goes out and he goes, can I help you with the grilling? And he looks at the grill and he him and he goes, I'm good here. Yeah.
00:51:00
Speaker
And then later he calls him the grill master something. Yes.
00:51:05
Speaker
um His mom also like call ah her mom calls him out in the speech and she's like, and everybody you say hello to Ben, her new boyfriend. It's like, Jesus, mom. i yeah That's a lot.
00:51:17
Speaker
And then she tries to have sex in her childhood bed. And he's like, can we not? And I get that. I'm not doing that. No. Can't. I mean, what if your parents walk in on you? Exactly. yeah They can hear you. They know. I mean,
00:51:33
Speaker
in my in my uh in my my my parents house the my old bedroom like the shared a wall of my parents bedroom so not in any means could that happen yeah uh that was not true of mine there was there was a lot of um that's what you want that's what you want yeah i there's a lot of square footage
00:51:55
Speaker
Technically, my room was the one next to my mom's room, but there was too much square footage in the way. Oh, my God. and need a sound effect where we talk about your privileged upbringing.
00:52:07
Speaker
like Like, crystal champagne flutes being toasted or something. don't know. David! David! And then you have to, like, get through square footage of leading up to my mom's bed.
00:52:22
Speaker
And then, like, there's, like, the whole, like, bedroom-sized closet that you'd have to through. Of course. Of course. And, like, the laundry chute. and I'm going to send you a picture of the house that I grew up in. um just want you to be able to compare and contrast those things in your mind.
00:52:40
Speaker
Um... alcohol
00:52:44
Speaker
I mean, was a really nice house. i I get that. You've implied that. um
00:52:54
Speaker
When I had sex with in high school, I had to have it in the basement. Oh. Which was finished. Yeah, okay, okay. We didn't have a basement because you can't have basement in Texas.
00:53:07
Speaker
Oh, that's right, yeah. Yeah. um yes so then we go to the gay wedding grant o'brien is there yeah he's got like he's got like two whole lines yeah like everyone that's the thing that's just so great is all these fantastic comedians have like a line and also grant o'brien yeah and also and also grant o'brien suck that grant o'brien he's there i like grant o'brien i'm just kidding um the then he becomes a weird asshole to her for no reason and like I get it he's picking a fight like he's doing this intentionally we've all picked fights in our lives sometimes you just want to have a fight and sometimes you need to have a fight um so he has that makes this big deal about her for getting the wedding gift ah at her house instead of putting in the car and he decides to be a huge asshole about it yeah yeah
00:54:04
Speaker
huge, huge asshole. Yeah. um And then yeah they break up at the end of the wedding, basically. He's like, is it not weird that we're all of a sudden this couple? And she's like, no, that's how relationships work.
00:54:17
Speaker
Yeah. You weird asshole. And she says, I love you, dumbass. And then he says, I just do love me. And he goes, I don't know. Yeah. And that's sort of the nail in the coffin.
00:54:28
Speaker
yeah He says he doesn't want to hurt her the way that that Nate did. And she says, you've already hurt me worse than he did. Yeah. because they just were so good together yeah um and then there's two more weddings he goes to alone and is uh a weird creep at um and then becca bennett has to show up again to straighten him out and give him the it's not a go get your girl speech it's more like a don't be an asshole speech yeah more like a stop being a dumb ass speech he says you know how you're a dumb guy
00:55:00
Speaker
I think these weddings are making you dumber. He says, why is everyone so in love and so sure? And he goes, they're not. Yeah. Says none of us know. Like you, it's just about like you, you, you, you make this like dedication to try together.
00:55:16
Speaker
And that's what it's about, which is like really real and sweet. yeah And so nice. Refreshingly sincere. Yeah. It's not saying that, like, there's only one person for you on this planet, and you're meant to be with that one perfect person forever.
00:55:33
Speaker
i mean, that may be true, but, like, nobody ever really knows until you try. Yeah. yeah I'm so sick. I hate fate as a um as ah as a plot point, as a trope yeah in things. I really have a ah big disagreement with the idea of um of that, so...
00:55:53
Speaker
Yeah, that's exactly basically what... Anytime I tell the story of how Charlie and i got together, I'll make it sound so magical and wonderful and rom-com-y. And Charlie goes, Emma... You make it sound as if us running into each other was like destined to be, but um we were just at a small drama school.
