This week on We Need to Talk, we talk about manifesting what you want. JFP Jr., we loved him, and Vanderby. May he rest in peace. All right. Good morning. Happy post-Valentine's Day. Cheers to you. Thank you, professional. Just to give us my coffee. Every day is Valentine's Day.
SPEAKER_01For you. No, for me too, I guess. Every day is Valentine's Day. We don't need a special day.
SPEAKER_00I fucking hate it. You know I hate it. And I watched this movie called F Valentine's Day, which I thought was really where was that show? Watch it on Disney. I think it's on Hulu also. Kind of stupid, but you know what? Fitting. And the craziest fucking shit. I texted this to you yesterday. I am driving, and my Spotify DJ said I almost drove off the side of the road. I know you don't like Valentine's Day, but these are some cool tunes. And then he plays up love songs. I thought I was going to die. Everybody's listening. Our phones are listening. We can't find Savannah Guthrie's mother, but my Spotify DJ knows I don't like Valentine's Day.
SPEAKER_01Who would have thought that we would be talking for two weeks that Savannah Guthrie's mom is still missing? No, the whole thing is crazy. Not to be mean, but when do you call off the search? They're not gonna call it off. Ever? They're never gonna call it off.
SPEAKER_00I saw something today, actually, it said it could take years before they find out.
SPEAKER_01Let's go with, unfortunately, that she's dead. The kidnappers didn't really want the money.
SPEAKER_00I believe that those people asking for the Bitcoin was bullshit. It wasn't bullshit, but they're not the kidnappers. It's like a third party that's out there, like in the dark.
SPEAKER_01But if you kidnap someone, the point is to hopefully give them back for something. I don't know if she was kidnapped. I think she was just abducted. Something could happen. Abducted and killed.
SPEAKER_00Anyway, we are we gotta stop talking about we gotta stop talking about it because it's too much. We are post-Super Bowl. Our scores were pretty close to what the actual score was, where genius is. Seattle won, but the big winner, my friend, was you. I know. Congratulations. I was crying. I know. I loved it. I was so happy. So for my listeners, we did a fundraiser for my dad. So I wasn't following the numbers and who was winning. I totally forgot. I'm not in that pool. So I was looking at my own pools to see if I won money. And then finally, when the game was over, Ed says, Christy won. And I was so happy.
SPEAKER_01I totally forgot that I bought boxes. It's so good. So when Ed called me to tell me that I won between post-holiday and my family here, you know, I'm very strict with my budget. So I was over budget. We've been laying low on a spending freeze. And I totally didn't remember I bought boxes. So when he called me, I thought he was joking at first, and then I started crying because I was like, we're so over budget. And this is so much better.
SPEAKER_00Sometimes the good people win. That's what I say. Sometimes the good people win.
SPEAKER_01And I've been and in my Instagram, talk about everybody's listening. I've been getting those things where it says, send this to yourself, and you'll get an abundance of wealth. Send this to yourself. And are you doing it? I showed it to Ed when I saw him. I had been doing it the whole weeks before because I was like, I am over budget. And it would say, You're gonna get good news. I'm like, I'll take that. I just feel like when that comes my way, I should send it to myself. And I was doing it, and then you know what happens? The algorithm says you need more of it. So I was sending those to myself for probably like a week and a half. I'm like, oh, what have I got to lose? I'm already over budget. And then this happened, so it's crazy. I've never won anything like that ever.
SPEAKER_00We had Seattle win, we had you win. Oh my god, I'm laughing.
SPEAKER_01I thought the Super Bowl was great. I liked the commercials. I mean, the game wasn't as good as I thought it was gonna be, and I felt bad for Drake and Michael. Like I really wanted a little bit of a cool moment for them, so I felt bad for them, but all the festivities were good. I liked the halftime show. So die. I didn't know any of the songs, I didn't know what he was saying. Whoever thought about how to make that all happen was amazing.
SPEAKER_00That there's nothing not to like. It was great. And I love the fact that now you could buy. I just saw it. I don't even know if it's a scam. I'm sure it's a scam. No, it could be a scam, but you could buy the tree outfit. Oh, you can? Oh my god, I was laughing so hard. The memes of the trees. The trees are next day. Oh, were you in the Super Bowl? Yeah, it was tree number 220. And then all these showing up to work meetings as a tree. Oh my god, so good. I was laughing. So, yeah, so all good. Everybody's gonna relax, calm down. All good. Just relax, people, just music. In the end, Super Bowl over. We are now ready for pitches and catches.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I saw them come in. The Yankee ones came in and they were asking the question about how many times they set their alarm. So I love I love that they do that now. Yeah, they're all walking in, there's a different question of the day. I think it's so cute. Yeah, I've been watching the Olympics, though.
SPEAKER_00The Olympics have been super interesting. It's just always the case. Like there's always a fucking cheater scam story. Now there's so much these French judges, and and who should have won the gold and not the silver. Oh my god, it's insanity.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but this Iliam Malinan guy, he was the cross god so bad. He felt so bad. He fell twice. Fell so gold.
SPEAKER_00And he thought it was a slam dunk. I'm getting the gold. No, now I'm just excited about the men's hockey team. We'll see. So, yeah, it's keeping me busy, you know, watching a little Olympics as I wait for another failure season in New York.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh, all my teams stink. My Auburn team stink, my New York team stink. Now Ilia Mellanin. Maybe I just shouldn't watch sports for a little while.
SPEAKER_00Well, you're on a little hiatus right now.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00All right, what else we got? There's like so many things happening.
SPEAKER_01Well, obviously, the big news for our week was this James Vanderbeek situation.
SPEAKER_00Oh my god, I'm so sad. To think of 90210 and Dawson's Creek and the people we lost in those shows, it's really unbearable.
SPEAKER_01One of the things about shows and songs or whatever, it brings you back to a time in your life. So I just wanted to tell this story. It's just so freaking funny. So years ago, so uh Dawson's Creek was on in '98, like 2002 or 2003. So I was working with an ad agency and I was the buyer, and I had this really close friend named Tracy. And at the time, I was the supervisor on Proctor and Gamble, and our client's name was Joe Ionelli, and he was great, and we loved when he came to town, and we would go out for dinner with him and we'd have a really fun time. But Tracy and I had to take Joe out the night of the Dawson's Creek finale. There was VCRs and stuff, but there was no TiVo, I don't think, at that point. And we said to each other, All right, well, we'll go out early and we'll be home in time for Dawson's Creek. You know, so we go to dinner, and he's a good guy, but you know, he wants to stay out. And I want to get back. I need to watch Dawson's Creek finale. And so I go to the bathroom and I put water all over my face. I know I wait. This is so not me to do, and I don't know what made me even come up with this, but I came out of the bathroom and I say to my client, I am so sorry, Joe, but I'm really not feeling well, and something's not agreeing with me, and I I gotta leave. And he's like, Oh no, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, no problem. And so I don't know where he went, but we paid and he left. And Tracy was all upset, like, oh my gosh, what's the matter? Are you alright? And I go, I just want to get home to watch the Dawson's Creek finale. Let's go. We gotta go. That's hilarious. And she had no idea. I didn't tell her I was doing that.
SPEAKER_00It's so funny, like life before watching things on demand, or even like TK. I was watching the JFK Jr. love story. You think about that. He goes into a phone booth. Luckily for him, there was no cell phones or anything like that. It's true. It's because then I'm thinking about exactly where I was when I found that he died, exactly what happened the next day. And you cut all these things come back to you. Do you know?
SPEAKER_01I don't know if you know this. Do you know that I was in his space two times?
SPEAKER_00I was in his space a couple of times too. His beauty was oh my god, unreal. I was obsessed with him. So he died on a Friday. Yeah, and on Saturday, we all I didn't believe he died. I know. We all met on my ex's boat and we just sat there on the dock. I was crying.
SPEAKER_01I was like, they're gonna find him. Everybody relax, they're gonna find him.
SPEAKER_00I go back to Vanderbeek because the outpouring of love for him is just unreal. His GoFundMe is over 2 million. All the posts I've seen people put up. I mean, he had a lot of kids. Six kids is a lot of kids.
SPEAKER_01I mean, he didn't have Dawson's Creek money, apparently. No, so how was he funding these kids? Was he directing?
SPEAKER_00I don't know, but he had enough money to buy this ranch to yeah, to purchase the ranch they were living in. But now people are setting up his kids' college educations are paid for, yeah, which is beautiful.
SPEAKER_01So the testament to him, apparently he was a really good guy.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, so we lost the good one. All right, on that same line. Okay, so losing a good one. Yeah, so on you finished with the tweet that they dropped.
SPEAKER_01Yes, it's on FX, you guys, and Hulu, and it's called Love Story. It's a Ryan Murphy interpretation of the JFK Jr. Carolyn Bissett relationship, the music, the clothes, the Calvin Klein connection, the Jackie O, the New York City.
SPEAKER_00Jackie O is played by Naomi Watson. She's great. She's spot on.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she's if you have ever seen Jackie O speak, she's got the way she speaks down really good. And the apartment, I've seen some pictures of that apartment. The apartment looks spot on as well. Well, Ryan is very good in the detail, and the Calvin Klein offices and the monotone and the whole thing. And honestly, I was like, attention to details really good. But there's a big problem though. Is it good? No, is it so good? It's not good. The problem we have is that there's no facts about any of this stuff, so this is all made up in you know, information.
SPEAKER_00That's not true. We don't know what they said to each other. I know, but it's based on what we do know. But there's two big problems. It's not good.
SPEAKER_01JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bissett were so stunningly beautiful. Beautiful.
SPEAKER_00Well, this girl is beautiful.
SPEAKER_01She's pretty. We've seen her before. She was the girl in the wilds. Remember? Yeah, she's very pretty. We've never seen him before, but he only got cast three weeks before shooting. Remembles him, but he's not smoking a lot. No, no, no, no. But he does definitely resembles him. The way that they're making him resemble him more is the hat and the look and everything. Yeah, the outfits. But apparently they were combing the world trying to find a JFK Jr. and couldn't. And they found this guy three weeks before they were filming, and that's the best they could do. He's okay. Well, this is my point, Tim.
SPEAKER_00It's not good. The acting isn't good. The Daryl Hannah is horrible. It's so painful. Thank God she's out now. There won't be another scene of hers, I don't think. But the Daryl Hannah situation was awful. Oh my god, it's painful.
SPEAKER_01And also, what we don't understand at all is, and of course, it's a different movie, but based on what they're portraying Daryl Hannah to be, why would he ever be with her in the first place? And they were together for like five years.
SPEAKER_00They were together a very long time, and it was just always up and down, up and down, up and down, and she was very insecure, and he the mother didn't like her, and it was a whole thing. And you know what? I actually forgot, but then I knew this, but I had forgotten because it's so long ago now, is that Carolyn never actually met Jackie. They don't show this in this series. Ryan doesn't make it a thing, at least not yet. But that was always one of the problems that they had kind of in their relationship in their marriage, that he waited so long because his mother was so critical. So he never introduced her. Right. And you saw in that last, the third one, he brings up the idea of somebody else. But he even says to Carolyn, my mother would have loved you. Do we think she would have? I don't think so. I think she would have loved anybody other than Daryl. Daryl Hannah. Yeah, maybe. I can't watch that all is fair nonsense. No. I am gonna watch this because I love them and I was always obsessed with him. I will always be obsessed with him, so I will watch it. But am I telling people to stream it? Is it good?
SPEAKER_01It's not a musty situation. It's just if you recall that time of your life when we still were all about JFK Jr. and and Carolyn Bassett. I saw him three times. I saw him two times.
SPEAKER_00I saw him at Bubby's, which is down the block from where he lived. I saw him at JFK, the airport. Oh, that's interesting. Yes, and I saw him walking the streets of East Hampton.
SPEAKER_01Okay, I was in an elevator with him. Right next to where Media Vest was was the building that George was in, the magazine. And we had temporary office space there when I took a job at another agency. I rode the elevator with him. And then I was trying to figure out, I was at a fundraiser. I cannot remember what it was for that he was at. See, I remember when he walked in and there was this he's here moment.
SPEAKER_00And he was shutting so beautiful. I'm sure I'm gonna get shit for this. I'm gonna say it now. You know, loyal listener, Joe, don't text me when you hear this. But I felt the same way when Princess Diana died. I was overwhelmed with grief and sadness.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00I know, but people will say, oh my God, I can't believe you're comparing JFK Jr. and his reckless behavior to Princess Diana. But I still felt that same way. And I blame a lot of the paparazzi. The fact that Ryan Murphy calls this a love story makes me laugh because it's been nothing, but this is like a tragic story, right? They have an up and down relationship themselves, and the way they die is awful. And her sister, and you know, everybody said at the time, left too late, shouldn't have done it. The guy didn't make it, but you got a boot on your foot. But that is available, they've dropped three. So check it out for yourself, especially if you like Ryan Murphy.
SPEAKER_01And if you remember the JFK Jr. situation, oh god because I was so obsessed with him. Who was it? All the pictures of him riding his bike around town. Do you think that's true? He never locked his bike up. Yeah, I believe it. Why wouldn't you lock your bike?
SPEAKER_00JFK Jr., I don't know. You get another one. Well, it seems like he was always getting a new bike. All right, speaking of obsessed, I am obsessed with Tell Me Lies and all of the scenarios that people are predicting. I just have this bad feeling that I'm gonna be so angry after this finale.
SPEAKER_01They're saying that the finale is gonna be insane.
SPEAKER_00These people are so fucked up. Pip is fucked up, Lucy's fucked up, what Evan did was outrageous.
SPEAKER_01Especially because, in general, I thought Evan was on the bad scale of all of them. He was on the low end of the bad scale. Oliver the professor says, You need to make Brie need you. And so his idea is okay, I'm gonna go pick up her mom, who's an alcoholic, get her bombed, and bring her to the love of my life's photo exhibit.
SPEAKER_00He gets what he deserves because now he gets to marry somebody who doesn't love him. Yeah. These people are all crazy and gross. And you know what I was thinking? Because every time I listen to somebody talk about it or rant about it on Instagram, I forget. They drop so many hints throughout these seasons. Pre-weddings clips. I forget all this stuff. I want to go back and look at those modern clips, or whatever that modern is, 2015. Like, because I don't know what's happening anymore. I feel like I feel like I'm gonna be mad. All the what is it called? The precursors. My brother Paul is watching it all for the first time, and I'm thinking to myself, I might have to be smart because it's gonna all be in his head. Yeah, because I'm trying to remember at the wedding, Wrigley was a wreck. I don't remember what happens there, right? And then there's that scene that these people on Instagram keep replaying where Pippa's girlfriend, Steven's ex, Diana, comes home. No, no, is it Pippa that comes home? And somebody says, Diana says, Were they there? And she says they were both there. Something, but we don't know who the they are, right? And you definitely think that Brie now leaks the video. Oh, I definitely think Brie does now. She knows. And Lucy's having a psychotic break.
SPEAKER_01I don't even know what's happening there. Well, I wasn't sure if that was real or fake or not. But obviously, Steven believed it enough to give her the tape. If we believe she even got the tape, right. We don't even know if that tape's the real tape. That's why I think I'm gonna be annoyed when this season is over. Right, because we have to think that something big is gonna happen at this wedding.
SPEAKER_00I think so. We'll see. They can't let this wedding go into the next season. I'm done with this wedding.
SPEAKER_01No, we gotta have the wedding day be this. I just don't understand how you can be that twisted. They're all twisted. What are the chances of a friend group getting together and all of them being so twisted?
SPEAKER_00There was some bakery somewhere. I forget where the bakery was now, but they were for Valentine's Day, they were making I hate Steven cookies. Smart. Yeah. All right, so let's see with the season. Season now finale. All right, let's talk about something. Talk about something happy. But when I say happy, I literally cried every episode now for the last three episodes of shrinking. Even I cried at this week's show. I bald crying when he says to the baby, enjoy the ride. It was waterworks for me. No, the waterworks for me were them on the bench. The bench, all the Paul scenes. Brian, he was hilarious in this episode. What about Jeff Daniels' Jimmy father? And isn't the how I met your mother who we wanted him to be smulders? Wasn't she the one that made the appearance in the last Lincoln Lawyer episode? Yes. Like, what is I was like, I wanted you to be with the guy from Shrinking.
SPEAKER_01I said to Rich, wait a minute. So now she's gonna be in the Lincoln Lawyer and Shrinking, or maybe now that means she's not gonna be Jimmy's girlfriend in Shrinking. I know she's gonna be on the Lincoln Lawyer. The timing of releasing that final Lincoln Lawyer episode when Shrinking's on is bad.
SPEAKER_00I got so mad, but it looks like she's definitely gonna be on the Lincoln Lawyer.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_00That was a good ending. I was happy with the Lincoln Lawyer ending.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I was fine with the Lincoln Lawyer ending, but for Shrinking, I just love that show so much. Oh my god, there's no word. Okay, just something that you should know. You know how I'm obsessed with Liz's clothes. I don't know why. There's an Instagram of Liz's Looks for Less. So I follow that. But this week, I don't know if you noticed it, Sean was wearing what I thought was a Carhartt leopard animal print jacket. And I wanted to get it for Rich. So I'm yeah, that did look like a Carhartt. Yeah. It was. Yeah. I'm Googling it, can't find it. And then I DM the Carhartt people. Shout out to Carhartt for getting back to people so fast. I mean, they responded to me on Facebook right away. And that is not a Carhartt item, it's called WIP Carhartt, totally different company. It still uses Carhartt, but it's different companies. So WIP is work in progress Car Hearts, I guess. And I reached out to them. Their customer service is not so great, but that is where you find that product. But it's just amazing what you can find out so quickly now. Have you bought any of the Liz's items for less? So far, no. The woman who's doing it, she's doing a good job of it, but it's just not the same. Are you ever gonna wear any of that? I love her flannel shirts. I don't even wear flannel shirts. I don't really wear button downs that often.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, no, I don't really wear button downs either. I don't like that.
SPEAKER_01I like a button down, but it's I only like a button down that you can wear without unbuttoning it. Do you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_00Yes, I do know what you mean.
SPEAKER_01Like if you just unbutton the top button and can put it over your head, yeah, that's fine. But if I have to unbutton the whole thing and then re-button the whole thing, I'm out.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, all right. Okay.
SPEAKER_01But you mean that's a normal thing, though?
SPEAKER_00No. Shrinking is the best.
unknownWe're back.
SPEAKER_00No, if you wear a shacket, sometimes I just put that over my head.
SPEAKER_01I put all things over my head. I don't really like to wear things that that you have to button.
SPEAKER_00Uh, you're a very weird person though.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I am when it comes to my when it comes to clothes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. When it comes to clothes. All right, so we're off of shrinking. We talked about the Lincoln Lawyer. Let's see. Love is Blind started. Speaking of fuck Valentine's Day.
SPEAKER_01This is my second season of not doing it.
SPEAKER_00I watched a little, I did not finish what's dropped. They're in Ohio. It's season 10. They're definitely older. Okay. The lachets look weird. I think there's too much plastic surgery. And the thing that I'm a little obsessed with, even though I didn't get up to that episode yet, all the couples go to Mexico, except for one couple that goes to Malibu, California.
SPEAKER_01And wait a minute. Right. All couples.
SPEAKER_00So the couples that get engaged go to Mexico.
SPEAKER_01How many got engaged?
SPEAKER_00Well, this is what this is what I think Love is Blind is saying. I wanted it to be juicier. Like these two can't leave the country. But I think that Love is Blind, which is Netflix, this is embarrassing if this is true. But the budget allows, let's say, six couples to go to Mexico. They're the seventh couple, so they're in Nalibu.
SPEAKER_01But that's weird because normally when they go to Mexico, after they have their alone time, all the couples come together.
SPEAKER_00So that everyone comes together but them. And apparently. The other thing I read from production was that they chose this couple because I guess they had less interaction with the other people than the other couples. I mean, it's weird.
SPEAKER_01But they still know each other from the main houses. Yes.
SPEAKER_00We say this every fucking season.
SPEAKER_01Watching it. That's why.
SPEAKER_00It gets weirder and weirder. And every year I have something to say about production. And now I didn't even get to that episode, and it's all over social media. It's fucking weird.
SPEAKER_01This is why. This is my second season not doing it, and I'm very comfortable with my decision.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I'm proud of you. I mean, I said I was not going to watch Beverly Hills.
SPEAKER_01I'm fucking watching it like an ass, but this, I mean, it's good this year.
SPEAKER_00Speaking of manifesting, you manifested your money from the Super Bowl. I literally, when she said this, there was this girl, Amanda, and nobody likes her.
SPEAKER_01So she decides she's gonna throw a manifesting party. What she does for a living, supposedly. She supposedly has this book called Queen of Money or Money Queen or something, or she's known as the Money Queen, and she has it on her welcome mat. Isn't that weird? She's ridiculous, and she talks like she's never seen the show before. If anybody says anything negative to her, she's like, I'm not doing this.
SPEAKER_00I don't even understand what she means, how she made any money. I don't get it. But she says so seriously that she manifested she had a Malibu Barbie, Malibu Barbie house and a convertible Malibu Barbie car, and she manifested it for herself. She got the Malibu Barbie house and the convertible. I was like, is this real life?
SPEAKER_01She's weird. She says she was in a cult. Supposedly next week we're gonna learn about the cult. I don't give a shit about the cult. I kind of care about the cult. But I'm much more interested in so Dory and PK are getting divorced. Mauricio and Kyle are still friends with PK. Dory is saying that PK doesn't want to see his kids, changes the plans, or there's no information, and all this communication is terrible. But Mauricio says, I saw all the texts, I saw all the emails, and I saw PK saying he wanted to see the kids.
SPEAKER_00She says he answers the text, which I don't really understand. How do you do that? I don't know. She's claiming that you're only seeing one side, and this is what PK does, and he shows his phone. But if he's saying he sees your responses, then I don't get it.
SPEAKER_01Right. Like if I give you my phone to show to look at a thread, you're gonna see what everybody said. So I don't understand that at all.
SPEAKER_00Besides Kathy Hilton, who's just the best person ever. The only one I'm actually enjoying is the other one. Who? The fashion designer.
SPEAKER_01Oh, Rachel Zoe.
SPEAKER_00Rachel Zoe is hilarious. She's really good.
SPEAKER_01She's actually pretty real.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, she's just like, let's just go to the Hamptons and not deal with this.
SPEAKER_01And let's Donna Karen, she's my friend. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_00She's gotta cut her hair though.
SPEAKER_01Like, why is it so long? I know. But you know what's so funny? Rachel Zoe has, I think, the most perfect of perfect resting bitch faces I've ever seen. Oh, yeah, totally. Yeah. I get something.
SPEAKER_00Really does.
SPEAKER_01And she actually looks like she makes a little older, and she also looks like she makes a lot of noise when she walks. Yeah, she's got a lot of jangling. So many jingles and jangles.
SPEAKER_00But I love it all. I think I love it all, but I'm mad at myself for watching it. No, no, but I really do want caviar for breakfast before I board the plane, though. But that is just amazing. It's 5 30 a.m. They go through a lot of caviar on that show. All right, so yeah, so that you know, man, listen, listeners. It works for Christy. Maybe it works for you. You want a Malibu Barbie dream house?
SPEAKER_01What do you guys want?
SPEAKER_00Manifest it, it'll happen. Manifest it. Oh my god. All right. So we watched the cute movie together. Well, not together, separate, but we both watched it called Eternity.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I really liked it.
SPEAKER_00With two people I love in it.
SPEAKER_01Well, it's Callum Turner, Miles Teller, Miles Teller, and Elizabeth Olsen.
SPEAKER_00Love it all.
SPEAKER_01And you guys, the premise is kind of cool. The premise is that when you live your life, and when you pass away, you go to this area where you choose your eternity, and you can choose Paris land, or you can choose mountain land or beach land or whatever. There's a bajillion options. Well, I used to love the premise behind Upload until it got weird. Until it got weird. Yeah. So what happens with Elizabeth Olsen is I'm not going to give it away. But what happens with Elizabeth Olsen is she lived, she had two husbands. One was a guy that she married young, they were married a short time. He left for Korea for the army and he died in the service. Then she meets Larry, who's Miles Teller, and she has a family and a 65-year marriage, and she has a full life with him. Right. So when she goes to the eternity area and has to choose an eternity, her first husband has been waiting 67 years for her to get there.
unknownRight.
SPEAKER_01So he hasn't chosen an eternity because he was waiting for her. But then what happens is don't give it up. But eventually she has to go to the show. Anyway, she has to make Elizabeth Olsen has to choose do I spend my eternity with Larry, who I had a 65-year life with, or do I spend my eternity what's his name? The other guy.
SPEAKER_00I forget.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_00He's just hot. I would have chosen him because he's hot.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So she has to choose between the other guy and and Larry. And she didn't have the life with the first guy. Her marriage with that guy was cut short. So she has to choose who to spend eternity with. And they both get a week to spend together. And she has to choose after that. And it's a really interesting idea. It's sweet. Yeah, I like it. And I really liked it. And I would say, yeah, it's a movie. It's quick. It's interesting. I like that idea a lot.
SPEAKER_00You know what choice people would make.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00It's very interesting.
SPEAKER_01If you had two choices.
SPEAKER_00If you had two choices. It was definitely good. And he's easy on the eyeballs.
SPEAKER_01Yeah.
SPEAKER_00I just love him. I actually like Miles Tell too. So they're both cute. Yeah, very cute. Well, um, I forget what I watched it on. What was that on? Netflix?
SPEAKER_01Uh no, that's on uh Eternity is on Apple.
SPEAKER_00Check it out. Definitely cute. I recommend it. I do not recommend F Valentine's Day, but Eternity was definitely cute.
SPEAKER_01Well, I watched Sinners and I watched Songsung Blue. Oh my gosh.
SPEAKER_00So Songsung Blue became free. Well, not free if you if you purchase the cock, you were able to now see it as of Friday. So I didn't want to pay the $17.99 because I knew it was coming on the cock. So I can't wait because I love Neil Diamond so much. Happy 85th birthday to you. And I can't wait to watch it.
SPEAKER_01So Hugh Jackman, it's a true story about these a Milwaukee couple named Claire and Michael, and they became Thunder and Lightning, and they did a Neil Diamond experience, sort of like what Yacht Rock is today, but they did it about all Neil Diamond songs, and it's their story, and they were a really big deal in Milwaukee, and I loved it. Yeah, I can't wait. And honestly, I know Kate Hudson's nominated for an Oscar. Hugh, Hugh Jackman was amazing as Neil Diamond. He's not, he's not nominated. He's not, I know. Yeah, he plays Michael, who who is Neil Diamond in the show, and um I thought they were both great, the music's great. All of the actors in it, you'll recognize Jim Belushi's in it. I can't wait. Fisher Stevens is in it, and it's just so So you could watch that on the cock.
SPEAKER_00And if you love Neil Diamond or even just them, I love Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Yeah. Now, Sinners, on the other hand. I'm not watching that. I don't think it's for you. No. It's the story of these twin brothers played by Michael B. Jordan around prohibition times in the South. And they come back from Chicago, they have all this money, and they want to start a juke joint. And that's the premise. I don't really want to say what happens, but it takes a turn that I didn't see coming. I didn't really know anything about it. But the funny thing that I keep thinking about is the guy who did the movie, his name is Ryan Coogan, I think. And I don't even understand how something like this story comes into someone's brain, let alone how you tell the production people how you want it to look and feel and be. Right. It's just from a production standpoint. How do they do that? Yeah, I'm not watching it. Yeah. I I don't think it is for you, to be honest. It's on Amazon for everybody who's yes, it is on Amazon. It's a movie. Rich and I watched it. We both really liked it, but I still think that one battle after another was better.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, because this is nominated, correct?
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm. Yeah. Best picture. Yeah. I think I've seen five of the best pictures so far.
SPEAKER_00Oh, that's good. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01I'm gonna try to get to all of them. We'll see.
SPEAKER_00Like we used to do.
SPEAKER_01Well, you know, right now there's a little bit of time, so I can watch them. No, things are gonna start. I don't know that I want to watch Frankenstein. That doesn't interest me. Frankenstein's. But like Rich would like that. Yeah, I'm not watching that either.
SPEAKER_00All right, let's talk about the last episode of The Traders. Okay. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_01Rob from Love Island is one of the best players I've ever seen play anything.
SPEAKER_00I mean, it's not normal.
SPEAKER_01How did he get so good at it?
SPEAKER_00I don't know. But you could tell because nobody suspects him. Nobody. Yet Eric is a trader for two seconds and they suspect him.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. That just goes to show you how good Rob is. Eric's being an idiot. Yeah. I thought he would be a good choice, but you know what? Maybe it was a good choice because Rob knew that then the players think it's Eric.
SPEAKER_00It's really good.
SPEAKER_01And we're getting to the end. It goes fast. Okay. Then did you read that now that Jill Zaren got fired from the other show, now Dorinda's gonna take Jill Zaren's place there.
SPEAKER_00It's fucking hilarious. Well, first of all, I prefer Dorinda. Me too. I was never a huge Jill Zaran. Jill Zaren's not funny. There's nothing about Jill Zaren. Derinda's hilarious. Dorinda's hilarious. So I think it's it what in the end, it's probably better for the show.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh, it's way better.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, that is great. I was cracking up when I read that. I'm like, of course. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01This Rob, I gotta say, he's gotta go down in history as one of the best reality show gameplay. He's gotta win now.
SPEAKER_00If he doesn't win, if he doesn't win, we got a problem. So I don't know. We'll see. I'm gearing up. Speaking of winning, I'm gearing up for season 50 of Survivor. Of Survivor. I'm coming up. Ed's gonna watch it. We're all gonna watch it.
SPEAKER_01Good. I'm so excited to have you guys watch it. Yeah, we're all in. We're all in. Okay.
SPEAKER_00All right. The only other thing that TV-wise was we had episode six of the pit. It's good.
SPEAKER_01If my first day at work was that young nurse's assistant, if that was my first day of work, I would never come back. And also, I couldn't keep track of everything that needs to be done. She's not writing any notes. And I just don't understand how that's somebody's first day of work.
SPEAKER_00Yeah, I know. Our listeners said that they thought maybe it was starting off slow. It wasn't like last year. Something was up.
SPEAKER_01You know, the thing is, it's a 15-hour shift. A lot happened. Not even joking. Wait, I wanted to ask you and follow up. Did you come up with a safe word?
SPEAKER_00No. So I guess I could be abducted at any time.
SPEAKER_01No, I have one.
SPEAKER_00This is total, total producer ed. I say in a text, I have our safe word. Okay. And he says, don't text it. I was like, I'm not. You know, he's very serious. When he asks if someone wants to borrow our HBO account or whatever, he's got to call you. Oh he does it for all these things. Wait, can I just tell you the funniest thing?
SPEAKER_01So we're not big Valentine'sers in this house either. No, I hate it. Hate it. Um, so yesterday we were going to the gym. We're getting in the car. We have cameras everywhere. So we get into the car and Rich goes, he looks, he's like, someone was in the car. What? And I go, What? And I'm flipping out. What do you mean someone was in the car? He's like, something's not right. I don't drive, so the seat's in the wrong place. He's feeling around. He's like, somebody was in a car. And I'm already like, check the cameras. Right. What's her save word? And he opens up the console and he's like, it was the chocolate fairy. But I swear to free.
SPEAKER_00And there was because I I get chocolate. That's not funny. I was great. Does he know how crazy you are?
SPEAKER_01I was like, I was rich. I was like, oh my god, I'm gonna get kidnapped.
SPEAKER_00So freaked out.
SPEAKER_01That's not funny.
SPEAKER_00Fucking Valentine's Day.
SPEAKER_01The other thing that we did. Valentine's Day Nassau. I would have killed him. Before we get to the game, I just want to say the other thing. So I have two dogs. They've been going to the same groomer for probably 15 years. And it was a lady named Suzanne. The reason we found her is because she doesn't put your dog in a crate when she's grooming them. They just run free in her house or whatever. So Suzanne moved to Tennessee and we need a new groomer. And I'm like, we're both very nervous about it. So we drove over to this place that Suzanne recommended. It's called Pooch Plus, whatever. So we get there and it's very cute. And you can see what's going on. And Rich says to them, and we're like, oh, how does it work? Da-da-da. And Rich says to them, I'd like to see the back. Like back of the place. Like to see what goes on. And they say, one minute. Oh shit. And I'm just like, la la, but I'm glad he asked. And then she said, right now we're grooming and it's very busy back there, and there's water all over. And just for insurance purposes, we can't let you back there. But there's pictures on our website. Of course there are. And if we were closed, we would allow you to see it. So he's like, all right, whatever. So we make an appointment. And then later on, Rich goes, you know what? I really feel like we should investigate a mobile groomer. Same thing now in your head. Yeah. You want to take my dog, or my dog's gonna be in the back, or what's going on? Like, nothing is so simple and like, oh, it's a dog grooming place, you know.
SPEAKER_00So I like the mobile groomer. My brother has a mobile groomer, comes to the house. That's what we're gonna try. Big Chuck gets Jackson in. It's great.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, we're gonna try that.
SPEAKER_00And it's just it's just, you know, obviously it's just a one-on-one.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I have two dogs, they take one, take the other, it'll be fine. Right, good. The other thing is Suzanne charged us 150 bucks for two dogs, they're charging 150 for one dog.
SPEAKER_00Well, everything goes up, my friend.
SPEAKER_01I got I got away with a lot with Suzanne. So I gotta be a good one.
SPEAKER_00We had this conversation last week about the copy. Everything's so expensive, everything's fucking expensive. That's why I don't go out on Valentine's Day. All right. All right, we are getting to the game, but I also would like to say that we are not doing a show next week. Chrissy is traveling, and so it is a great time right now, especially we have President State to catch up on our old episodes, to refer our show to other people. So everybody have a great week and let's do the game. This week, Ed came up with the name, and I'm not gonna say it because I'm trying to be nice, but it's really painful. So the game celebrates the life of James Vanderbeek, who we lost this week. And so now let's play. We need to talk. James Van Der Beek Creek speak. He's laughing downstairs. I could hear why is that a mouthful? I don't get it. Why did we have to make it so complicated? Because it's funny, it's not funny. I think it is funny.
SPEAKER_01Wait, I just want to say it back. So it's James Van Der Beek Creek Speak. Yes, okay. It could be speak creek. I got it.
SPEAKER_00All right, I got it before TV fame. James Vanderbeek shaped his acting career doing what low budget horror movies, off-Broadway theater acting, Broadway dancing, or television commercials.
SPEAKER_01Commercials.
SPEAKER_00Off-Broadway theater acting. Really? Speaking of, did you see all the footage of everybody going to Sean Hayes'? Yes! Oh my god, I loved it.
SPEAKER_01That was it was Sunday dinner. It was the whole Sunday dinner group into the show.
SPEAKER_00Gigi and Will, Jason. It was amazing. Okay, sorry. The Colts classic movie Varsity Blues showed James could carry a major studio film. Was varsity blues films before during or after Dawson's Creek was airing on the WB?
SPEAKER_01I feel like it was after.
SPEAKER_00It was during. Oh film was released in 1999. Oh. The show's early success helped boost the interest in the movie. Oh, I didn't even realize that. Okay. During the filming of Dawson's Creek, who was James's closest friend on the set? Was it Michelle Williams, Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson, or Kerr Smith? I have no idea. I'm gonna just say Michelle Williams. It was Joshua Jackson. They were widely cited as best friends during filming and even roommates, with Jackson once describing James as the one everybody loves to love.
SPEAKER_01Oh, that's sweet.
SPEAKER_00Yes. What character did James play in the 2012 sitcom Don't Trust the Bee in Apartment 23? Was it Eli Weber, Mark Reynolds, Michael Wilson, or James Vanderbilt? I think he was himself. He was himself. Good. Got that one. Okay, last question in question five. In 2019, James competed on Dancing with the Stars and reached the semifinal. He lasted longer than three of these four contestants. Which one lasted longer than James? Got it. So which one did I tell you lasted longer? Was it Ray Lewis from the Ravens? Lamar Odom from the Clippers? Hannah Brown, who was Bachelorette, or Sailor Brinkley Cook, which is Christy Brinkley's daughter.
SPEAKER_01I have no idea because I didn't watch that show. I'm just gonna say Sailor Brinkley Cook.
SPEAKER_00It was Hannah Brown, and she went on to actually win the season.
SPEAKER_01I didn't even know that.
SPEAKER_00All right. Well, you don't know what Hannah Brown is. You love James Vanderpeek, but you really didn't know very much about him.
SPEAKER_01I only really knew him from Dawson's Creek and Varsity Blues. Other than that, I really didn't know much about him, but I did love him. Well, I'm gonna raise my glass and say.
SPEAKER_00Enjoy the ride, everybody. In the words of Shrakey. Enjoy the ride. Love you. Have a good week.
