Hi, thanks for joining us today. It's Nora, and Nora, we're glad you're here. Sure, are I'm glad to be here. I feel like Mother Nature is playing a slight joke on us, because the thermometer says almost 70, but the scenery and the gloom says like 40. The sun is shy. It's like I'll give you some heat, but I don't want you to see my face. Well, we woke up to a beautiful sunshine morning and then, like, went all hudini on us. And then, ellen, I realized a day late.
Speaker 1:Savings time begins Sunday. Oh, no, oh, because you can't get in your. You got to stay in your clothes longer. Yeah, stay in your clothes longer. And it's two hours from Arizona.
Speaker 1:Oh, that is hard, which makes it hard to connect, I know, oh, but that's okay. It's actually meteorological. Spring started March 1st. Oh, do you know that? I don't know that. No, I always thought it was the equinox, but that's the. When the pagans acknowledge the. I got you again. Actually you did, speaking of for the meteorological. Meteorological. I didn't say that right at all, but there you go. It looks very sizable. It's funny, it's. I love spring, it's all right.
Speaker 1:Oh, my gosh, why be Easter place? Easter with my peeps. These are the cutest things I've ever seen. We didn't have to, did I register? And I didn't know it. And then so, oh wait, that was my first update. That was good for you. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because we gave you these. These were supposed to be all With you this Christmas. I saw nothing. You, peace Goodwill, shopped for me this Christmas. Wait a minute, are these all from Goodwill? Oh, I can tell this is.
Speaker 1:This is a little dirty. Well, I had it since December. It's a lovely. Look here if you want. Oh, it's not. No, it's not, it's not, it's not. Look here, it's not. It's a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful, beautiful, it's a beautiful, beautiful. It's a lovely egg dish for my deviled eggs or my diet Easter eggs. I don't want to put dirt on your floor. Wait, there's something else in there. I know, but I'm brushing the dirt off. Is that dirty? Yeah, is the most beautiful plate I've ever seen. I mean, if that doesn't scream happy spring? Look at the rabbits. Like Pasha, he is so happy, he's clean, he's got a hall eggs. He's got quite the hall eggs. So is that like me? And the little chicks are my four children? Uh-huh, and that's Al With the dragon. This is beautiful. It looks like it was, oh, hand wash. Only Now I know I won't put it in. This is beautiful, so, thank you.
Speaker 1:When we had our Christmas haul I went on a shopping spree for you and I started going this route and then I decided I don't want to give you this for Christmas, so I decided I'll just save it, oh the nap, and give it to you for Easter. That was sneaky, because I'm like did you buy this at Target? And then these match your platter or your mug? Yes, but I forgot. So there you go. Oh my gosh, that is the tallest snowman I've ever seen. That is, that's a nice deep plate, too Good, you could do like an alamode on here and your ice cream. You could enjoy that in December. It's kind of sleepy, so happy first day of spring. Thank you, oh, that was very kind, so random. I feel like I won a prize, which is nice, because we did not win any prizes on Saturday $14.00. I didn't go over.
Speaker 1:So Nora and I, back in October, purchased tickets to go to see Prices Right Live, and that's important. Prices Right Live, yes, drew, carrie was not there. You might start washing your hands. Well, it was a little dusty. Are you offended? I was just thinking more embarrassed. You know why? You know why it was probably so dusty, well, from your concentration, because they were in my garage. Yeah, okay, all right, that's all good, carrie, problem solved. Okay, easy peasy. I really love these little Easter with my peeps. Those are adorable. Thank you, and you know I'll use it. Well, don't feel I will. That's flatter.
Speaker 1:On the reaction to Prices Right Live, yes. So we watched Prices Right. We had crazy season Prices Right, live, yes, and we did have high hopes. I really did think. I don't know why, maybe I'm an optimist, but I thought one of us would have gotten called but we didn't. It was wildly disappointed. But we got there. We got our big name tags, we had shirts, two Noras in a showcase showdown and we sat there, sad there. You know, low seat. It was a low seat, it was a.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was interesting because if you're familiar with the game show, it's a very well known kind of it's a tried and true kind of system. They call the four people down to contestants row, the one wins. You know they get the price right. Can you tell here, listening to how? Pritzker's straight words Well, I'm trying to compare to what it was oh yay, I see what you're doing. And then you have like the three people who didn't guess correctly, then they stay and they just call one person and so you kind of get invested in the other people that are in contestants row. You're like, oh, the lady with the purple hair, the guy with the hat, like he was so close. And I see why they did it this way at Price's Right Live, because they wanted to involve more audience. But they called four new people each time and then for the wheel they called three totally different people and then from the wheel they picked the showcase showdown winners.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't care for the setup and what I wondered was why, if they have a system that works for the real Price's Right, why did they modify it? Probably just to get more people involved. But plenty of people go. Yeah, the right to the show, although I mean, the Chicago Theater probably fits couple thousand people. I don't know, maybe they shouldn't have had anybody up on the balcony, oh don'ts.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I was very impressed with the prizes though that they gave away. The prizes were legit. Those were a real deal legit prizes, cause I wasn't sure if they were going to be like. We just bought this a target and the wheel the wheel was real, the wheel was good. I thought the host was great yeah, todd, he was engaging, but there was a lot of like filler. There was a lot of like, a lot of montages, yeah, a lot of video montages. I wouldn't recommend it.
Speaker 1:You also had the smallest glass of Prosecco I've ever seen. It was a well, the glass was big, the pour was small. I wanted to drink responsibly, and you sure did, and I sure did. So it was. Would you go back? No, no, but it made me want to go to the one in California. That one is fun. That's what I would love to see. That, okay, well, maybe we can put that on our bucket list. No, add it to the list. You had something to share, I believe. Oh, besides Goodwill, guess, besides Goodwill. So I get. Thank you, I feel like I won.
Speaker 1:So TikTok has this trend. Oh, boy, I know, and it's they call it rotting in bed. Oh, I've heard of this you have. Yes, first of all, it's a terrible name for a trend, I know Cause I'm like that's not a trend, that's just lazy, lazy and it's like. So I looked into it. I was like what is this rotting in bed, rotting in bed trend? It's like, oh, you eat in bed and binge watch things and doom scroll. That's lazy. That's lazy. That's freshman year of college. Like I live in a dorm and I have nowhere else to eat, so I'm eating in my bed and watching TV in my bed and doing homework in my bed. Oh, I just pictured myself rotting in bed with four children, like like Willy Wonka, like where's mom? Oh, she's having lunch in her. That's what I feel like.
Speaker 1:Could you imagine if you were just like I'm just testing out a new TikTok trend? I'm gonna be in my room all day, all day. And like Ryan, if he was like, coming in and out of our room, like would he be like, oh, you're still in bed? I'd have really. Oh, next time you come in, can you be a bag of pretzels, like scraping crumbs off?
Speaker 1:But then I was looking more into it and there is a real term called hercal dirkling. Hercal dirkling, hercal dirkling. What? Like when you lay in bed after it's time to get up which isn't rotting in bed. Oh, I have this. Call it having a lion. Yes, that's what they would say in England and this is, I think, a German thing hercal dirkling. But hercal dirkling, I feel like that's what it sounds like. If you're like choking on liquid, like horrible, horrible, she's fine, just hercal dirkling. Wrong pipe, hercal dirkle over there. But I guess if you were laying down and drinking water, you might hercal dirkle, yes, but if you were rotting in bed, you'd probably be upright. Hercal dirkle is up there for you know it's blooming.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'm not really a hercal dirkler. I know when the alarm goes off, I like wait. But you did that the other day because I called you. Oh, was that yesterday? Yes, and you were like I'm doing something, but I didn't tell you about it. Do you require the fact? Yes, I can't. That's what I was doing. It was hercal dirkling because it was time to get up but I was still in bed.
Speaker 1:Is hercal dirkling just something you do by yourself? Or if you were like having a snuggle or like a or no, I, you know, I don't have the specifics on it, I was just thinking more like, if your alarm goes off and you're like. You know what I'm not gonna have to like getting up right now. That'll love to hercal dirkle. You do, even, like on school days, I set my alarm a little earlier so I can like sit in bed and hercal dirkle, hercal dirkle. What do you, hercal dirkle? Do you check email, do you? I will? Yeah, I'll check emails. I'll just kinda rotten back, rotten. Get my wake up a little bit before I, you know, begin the day. You know what a good time to hercal dirkle is. Anytime, I think you've done a wine tasting. Oh, is that your segue? Is that your segue? Where's that nail? Oh gosh, well, I was gonna segue into.
Speaker 1:This is a trend that I think I would have to say no to because of this article that I read in the New York Times about the ability to say no to things. The article is called the mind-boggling simplicity of learning to say no, and this writer has talked about how much she struggles with saying no and she does feel like a lot of women have this problem. To like social engagements and volunteering and things of that nature. To like everything, everything, everything. And I said no to a job lens and I just like agonized over it forever, she's like.
Speaker 1:But her whole point of the article. She said her you know her stepped edge that gave her the best advice. He said you know, people have the right to ask you the question and you have the right to say no. If she said when she worked, cause she said she was complaining to him. One day she's like you know, my manager always asks me to stay later, ask me to do overtime and ask me to do this. And his response was well, she has the right to ask you the question and you have the right to say no. That is such a lovely that is a great life lesson. We are to look at it.
Speaker 1:And she said she now keeps and she's a writer, so this makes sense like that she would do something, this, but she keeps a notebook of all the things she says no to, because then she goes back and writes down what they allowed her to do, like, because I said no to this, I was able to do some. I had room for something else in my life, whether it was, is it big things or small? I think it's big and small, like all the stuff you know that she has said no to because she brought up an interesting point. She goes, you know, for a lot of you know, in our culture, in this day and age, is it a humble brag and especially for women to just say yes to everything so that you're like, oh my gosh, I do it all, I'm so busy. Or are we trying to send a signal like how generous we are, that we say everything and you know, is it a humble brag? Or Do you say no to things?
Speaker 1:I have a really hard time saying no to stuff, but you don't do it for the like brag factor. No, I do it because I'm a sucker or because I'm a knife and I just can't say it. Like. My family is always like well, you'll never say no. So you know we'll do it. Not like to me. They don't abuse it, but they worry about me and other scenarios that I will like.
Speaker 1:They'll be like well, is that something you wanted to do? Or could you just say no? Well, that was like just now, when you helped me with something before we started recording. But I wanted to do. I offered. You didn't ask me to help you. I butted in and wanted to you swooped in. Okay, I swooped in, but I thought that was because she said the flip side is if you're able to say no, you're able to say yes more fully, so that when you do say yes to something that you are able to be like yes, I really want to do this because I'm in, I've been more mindful of saying no and I have felt a difference. That's awesome, it's great and I don't feel guilt. That's great, that is good, and sometimes like that with my kids too. They'll be like oh, can we go there or do this? And I'm like it's not that I don't want to do it, but we just can. Yeah, and that's-. I think it's important for kids to hear no, such as life right, yeah, oh, big time, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause I told my kids I was like I'm not buying you guys anymore sweatshirts and then we were somewhere where my son wanted a sweatshirt and had a full epic meltdown. I was like I told you no sweatshirts. I don't know why you thought I was in. Change my mind, whatever.
Speaker 1:Anyways, the other quick thing I wanted to share is that the so New York Times says this other great article. It's called Wire. It's a series called Wire Cutter and they said that there's a glass the best glass for drinking beer in which made me so excited. It's like a siding glass Because it looks so elegant. And I do get like kinda jealous when people get cocktails and they come in really fancy glasses and mine is either still in the bottle or just in a pint glass. Wait, is this for certain types of beer? All beers. They said it's good for all beers. It says the best beer glass hands down for beer, it's the Rastal T-S-O glass, t-e-k-u. It has an angular bowl and a flared tip where you sip and it feels elegant and I was gonna buy some.
Speaker 1:But then when I went to go buy them, they're not that expensive. But then they have a stemless option. Wait, what are they called? Riku Rastal, tiku R-A-S-T-A-L-T-E-K-U. And they were how much will they set you back? Not, this is a six pack for $38.92. Yeah, that's reasonable. 40 bucks, yeah. And then I was like, do I want the stemless or do I want the stem? Oh, I'd like to I kinda like the stem. It's like a nice change for beer drinkers. This is great. I was so excited.
Speaker 1:I love Wirecutter. They have such interesting what is I don't understand what Wirecutter is. It's like their kind of weekly newsletter about random stuff. Like they'll be like the best vacuums or the best, like gloves to wear for shoveling snow. But look at that, they tested and they always test it. They tested like a hundred different kinds of glasses and they said, hands down, this one is the best, the Rastiltiku, rastiltiku, like there's some other stuff, like the best wine glasses, the best, all the stuff. I would like to subscribe to them. I highly recommend it. Always very interesting things. But wait, you had one more thing. No, no, I didn't. No, I thought you had two, my bad. Well, I had hercaldirchling and happy spring. Ah, okay, hercaldirchling. So well, what we're talking about today are the Oscars. By the time this podcast is released, the winners will be known to the world.
Speaker 1:And we decided to go out on our own. We did a little independent project and we looked at all the movies, the 10 nominees for Best Pictures, and we matched up six of them with different beers, wines or spirits that we felt that would match the personality or the feel of the movie. So we did all the work for you. We did, and what I think the biggest thing we've learned in this project is that you and I are terrible somleis. Well, I don't know, would that make any sense For this? Well, we made bad choices. We made bad choices. We don't usually make bad choices, but we judged books by their cover. That is the lesson Don't judge a book. Wine beverage, by the way, and I will say, though, I don't think we're terrible, because we did this wine tasting or drink pairing with others that also agreed with us. So it's not like we were like this is so great and they're like whoa, this is for the birds. Yes, everybody across the board was like this is terrible and what I think is so.
Speaker 1:For Barbie, we paired a nice sparkling rosé. It was adorable. Should we say the name of it? We should Brilla Brilla, because we don't want our friends to go on the planet. The packaging was darling. It was the first one we picked out. We were so excited about this. We're like oh my gosh, pink bubbles for Barbie. It's perfect. My tasting notes are bad. And then I wrote woof, exclamation. Did our friends say that? I think Jessica said it. That must be why I wrote it down. Yes, our marketing whizbang described it as woof. I said that it had Because she also prefaced it with I've never had bubbles. I didn't like. We were like just get ready. I said it had a terrible zing at the end, but the bottle was beautiful. The bottle looked like Barbie. Yes, it did so.
Speaker 1:And do you think that is your favorite movie? You think no, no, I like it that much. You didn't like it. Okay, so then? So I guess we should say I have seen seven of the 10 best pictures. I did watch them. Three of them I haven't been able to see because they're not on streaming, but I am going to try. But I have seen one.
Speaker 1:What I would like to do is give you a very short synopsis of the movies. Sure, sure, okay, promise. You might have questions, though. I haven't watched the movies, but I was still trying to read Sense and Sensibility. Still, it was sort of. Are you still reading? Yes, it's very long. Oh, did you like it? Well, it's a thinker, it's a thinker. I haven't started yet because I've been watching all the movies. Should we tell about our next movie? Yes, what is our next movie? I don't know. Does it matter? Okay, maestro, okay, I didn't know if we were going to go in a certain order. Yeah, I guess we have the same order because we try them at the same time. Oh, yes, yes, yes, maestro is starring and directed by Bradley Cooper, and he plays Leonard Bernstein, famous and celebrated conductor and composer, musician, pianist, all the things.
Speaker 1:But he poor guy was a gay man growing like alive in a time where it was not really socially acceptable to be in a committed gay relationship. So he married this woman, his wife, and she knew he was gay but was like I'm signing up for that. Oh, I don't know, that seems very complicated, but there's many relationships like that in like the 50s and the 60s, where I think these women his wife was an actress and I think she fell in love with his artistic genius and probably thought why don't they just be friends? He dabbles, I'll be fine, they could just be friends, because I think she wanted to be near that genius and she wanted and she did love him. Good thing, they just fought for dinner. But then he goes and I'm sure it's not a surprise, he goes a little off the rails and he's like doing coke in his living room on like these wild, crazy parties.
Speaker 1:And so we chose a wine called Sinzin, because he did have a lot of zin, a lot of zest for life and there were a fair amount of sins. But there was a fair amount of sins as well. I will say the Sinzin was my favorite of all the things we tasted Me too. It was smooth and it was light. Not my favorite movie, but it was my favorite wine. Yeah, I highly suggest that one. It was a beautiful movie. If you like it, then shot the way it was shot was really beautiful. There were some really interesting angles and things. So if you're a film connoisseur and you want to watch it, go for it. They're not stopping you. And if you love cigarettes, watch this movie.
Speaker 1:The next movie you watched or well, you watched, and I paired was Holdover. Yes, this movie I really really liked, I loved this movie. This woman, divine Taylor Joy, who that's her name. She won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and I thought she deserved it. I was rooting for her. I thought she was fantastic. And then the lead guy in it, who's now? I can't remember his name, that's a hay because I don't know it.
Speaker 1:But it takes place at an all boys private school, like a sleep away. What is that? A boarding school In the 70s and the kids who were not picked up for Christmas break were called the Holdovers. And it's the story of this one kid who was one of the Holdovers and his relationship with this teacher it was. I was really surprised at how much I loved it and I liked it. But it is, except for Divine Taylor Joy. It's an all white men, all white school, that kind of thing.
Speaker 1:So we paired it with White Haven, yes, which is a Sauvignon Blanc. Yes, that I wasn't thrilled with. I'm sorry to be such a hater. No, it's, I just find it negative. I was like, oh, the price is right, life was bad. Oh, this wine was bad. Well, well, well. But I said it was very sharp and I said I felt like this wine was kind of rude, like the spoiled kids in this movie, and I said this wine tasted like Kim Crawford on steroids. Well, because that Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc is so grapefruit for work. Oh, and then it's like tart. Is that the right word? Yeah, it's like an unripe grapefruit. Oh, you know, like it was. Just I didn't like it. Okay.
Speaker 1:So, and then we did another Bubbles, we did Poor Things, which is the movie yes, which I haven't seen yet but I really do want to watch. It's about Emma Stone's character's name is Bella Baxter and in the beginning of the movie, according to the synopsis online, she dies, but she's pregnant when she dies. So they take the baby's brain and put it in her body and bring her back to life. That's insane. So the movie is about how, even though she looks like a full-room woman is like learning like a baby in like a grown human's body. Yeah, but she, that's not her then, because it's not her brain, right, so but it's. But it's that this new being kind of discovering what it is to be a human. So I'm very curious to see it.
Speaker 1:My brother saw it and he was like I can't wait for you to see this movie and discuss it. I think it would be. If we tried to discuss it, I don't think we would have a very sound discussion on it. I don't know. The best thing is to watch. We told our friends husband what it was about. He was like what? Huh? The look on his face was so great.
Speaker 1:But so, yeah, we did Bella Prosecco. We did Bella Prosecco and I believe it was fair at best. I wrote meh, it tasted like a champagne or a Prosecco or a sparkling wine we would drink in college. Oh, wow, you're fancy. I don't think I ever had Prosecco in college. You didn't ever drink cooks. No, sometimes we've got high life. Or corbelli. We'd have a champagne of beer. No corbelli there, oh man, nothing fancy ever. I said I couldn't drink it on its own, like if I had food and there was nothing else to drink. If I was in a desert with no, I'd gnaw on a cactus and drink that Prosecco. That was a bit of a shame. Fair at best. Yeah, we got another final note, abhin蒙er. I think most people know what that's about, so I don't really have to describe it.
Speaker 1:But I will say I went into it very low expectations. I was like ugh, I'm not going to like this movie. And I really did like it. I found it to be really interesting. I thought it was. I thought they did a good job kind of matching the quest for like these scientific discoveries, like how the scientists were really excited to make these advancements and learn how all these molecules and atoms work with the kind of gravity of creating such a horrible weapon.
Speaker 1:So it was long. I chunked it up. I watched it in like three different settings. Yeah, so I could jump to it. Did you have to watch the whole thing to understand it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh. Would you just want to watch the end, the first part, just like get a feel for the movie because, like you know, they create a bomb.
Speaker 1:Well, there's a well, because it's about him as well and like how after the bomb and like what happens and people kind of he was like a hero after the war but then people kind of turn on him because he had some like dabbling. So he and his self created a bomb. Well, he and a group of people he was the leader of the project, he was kind of the brains behind the operation, but there's a lot of other people involved. Did somebody ask him to make a bomb? Yes, the government. Okay, yeah, how did they find him? I think because the government just probably keeps tabs, because he was publishing journals about bombs, well, about like molecules and atoms and stuff. And then also a time during the war the Germans were like we're making a bomb using this technology and he had studied in Germany and with some of these German scientists and things like that. So there was a lot of.
Speaker 1:It was very interesting, like from a historical perspective, like how many kind of things were clashing, no pun intended. So we hired that with fireball, fireball, fireball. It did seem natural. It did seem natural. I do like fireball. I love that song. I love that song. Fireball, do you like fireball? I do not. No, so full disclosure. We paired it with them, but we did not drink. No, we know what it tastes like. We know what it tastes like, so we didn't have to do it. But we thought that was a very clever pairing. We did.
Speaker 1:Here's the question Do you do fireball or Brilla Pink Perseco? Oh, I put the Brilla Perseco in a Shambang. Really, you would still do that over fireball. I'd shoot it. Yeah, it has a less alcohol by volume, so I feel like I would be Look at you, so responsible. Well, yeah, I don't want to go home early. Or I would say I'm doing the fireball but then throw it by my shoulder. Okay, which is maybe what I did at our shardy party. Did the few fireball shots at our shardy party? They were in the piñata. Oh, I don't think I had one. Oh, no, I just dumped it in your grass, thank you. So if you're dead, there's a big circle there. That's for me, I'm sorry. No worries, okay. And then we pair.
Speaker 1:We, al and I, watch together Killers of the Flower Moon, and again, it took us four nights to watch it. Oh my gosh, because we choked it up. Was that the rom-com? No, no, a joke. A joke, no, it's about these poor, old-sage Native Americans who are just being, oh right, killed for the rights to their. So I guess, hold on, can I take that statement back? The movie is called Killers of the Flower Moon, I don't know. Oh, no, rom-com would be named. No, no, that was a bad choice. Past lives was the closest thing you may get to a rom-com. So this is the Martin Scorsese movie, with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, and the cast is crazy.
Speaker 1:But it's basically how these Native Americans were pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed, pushed from their land and they ended up in Osage, oklahoma, and then they discovered their land was oil-central. So the Native American families that were the tribal people I think there were 12, they said, who were living on the land at that time, got these headwrites, because then the oil companies were paying these 12 families and then, atso, those 12 families got the most. And then it was kind of like we got trickled down a second, yeah, and so then all the Osage Native Americans would get some money, but it was like those main 12 got the most. Basically, how this horrible man it's a true story was manipulating and killing off members of this family to try to get the most headwrites Wait a second. So it took you four nights to wash this, yeah, so every night you knew you were tuning into depression and it was the lead that's so heavy.
Speaker 1:The lead character had diabetes in the 1920s, which was one of the worst things you could have. This poor woman, and I was like are you okay? I just felt bad for Al I thought that for you too, watching this terrible movie, but it wasI mean, I said I would have rather watched a documentary about it, because I think the story is important to tell and I was glad that I know about this because I had never known that this happened before. But I felt like it focused too much on the bad people. I would have liked to have known what their life was like before this happened, not just this horrible moment, and I would like to see Is it after they caught all these people and they went to jail? Was it better? I don't know. Maybe that'll be a part two. I'll just see the documentary.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, we paired it with an anti-hero, which was because Leonardo DiCaprio's character was just horrible. He was married to this Native American woman. He's like I love her, but then he killed her sisters for their money. So that's not great. No, that's not a hero. No, not a hero.
Speaker 1:And that beer is delicious. I just said it's just a good beer. That's just a good beer. But I did learn something. It has a high alcohol content. It's 6.7%. Shut up, right, I knew you'd feel so good after you drank it. I'm so happy. I'm sorry I drank those. Oh, my goodness, my goodness, did I sneak a little thing? How Well, that happened to us at the Hikers store. I was like, what about this one? And you said Nora, what was it like? Eight, yeah, eight or nine. I was like, let's put that back. But can I just mention two more movies that I watched? Yeah, sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:So we did watch Past Lives, which the lead character's name was Nora. She was, her family immigrated from Korea to the United States and she chose A Korean Nora. She chose Nora as her English name. Oh, because she was having trouble picking one and her dad was like what about Nora, or Eleanor, nora for short, that's cute. And so it was cute.
Speaker 1:It was very interesting because it was kind of about her. She had met this little boy when she was like 10 or 11 in Korea and then her family moved to Canada and then she ended up in New York City. But then how they reconnected and like FaceTimed a little bit and then she was like I have to stop talking to you because it's making me just like go back to Korea and I have to move forward, I have to like live my life. And then she meets her husband, she gets married, she's in New York and then they kind of reconnect and he comes to visit her in New York. But I found it stressful because I'm like, is she gonna cheat on her husband? I was gonna ask you, did she cheat on her husband? No, I hope that's not a spoiler, but it was interesting because I was listening to something else recently where someone said like, do you like a place because of the place or do you like a place because of who you were when you were there or like when you lived there?
Speaker 1:So I wonder if and the whole thing is about past lives and they're like you know, maybe in a past life we were together, but in this life we needed each other but we don't end up together. Oh, I wouldn't like that. Maybe in a past life. You watched the whole movie just for them to be like, hey, maybe we were together back. No, but I mean, you think about, like all the people you know, if you've had ex-boyfriends or girlfriends or whatever they I feel like because of those relationships, it makes you a better person in the end for who you wind up with. Can we go back to what you said about? Do you like the place because of the place? Yes, or because I usually like a place because of the people I am with? Yes, or the memories that I made? Yeah, isn't that kind of an interesting thing? Yeah, that was in the movie. No, that was in a podcast I was listening to, but it reminded me of the movie.
Speaker 1:And then I watched Anatomy of a Fall, which I was like, ugh, I'm not going to like this movie and I was kind of just ready to have it on the background, but then I found it really compelling. I know I'm going to wrap it up, lay in the plane, I'm going to wrap it up, but it was like a French-German movie about this woman and her son, who was blind, and her husband are in the chalet in France, in the French Alps and her husband like 10 minutes into the movie they find him like dead in the snow in front of their chalet and the whole movie is like she's put on trial for the murder, the son is blind and like this whole thing. But I was like riveted to this movie and the person if I hope I could find someone else who watched this movie. I'm sorry, I let you down Because the actor I don't know who he is, some French actor plays the prosecutor was like I feel like I'm going to have nightmares. He was so mean, his acting was so great and I was like I'm so scared of this man, like if I would ever in France and convicted of a crime. I hope he's.
Speaker 1:Kudos to you for powering through all these movies and there is like half subtitles. It was kind of crazy but it was stressful. And then the movie ends and she I don't want to ruin it for people, but you as the audience don't know that. You don't find out the truth. That is the worst movie I've ever heard. Which part of me, because you know I'm an optimist, so you couldn't tell where I land in the camp. I was hoping she wasn't guilty, but I don't know.
Speaker 1:Is there a to be continued? No, that's it, it's done. But afterwards in there, like you know, we want you to feel like the jury and like you have to kind of decide. Like, what do you think Then watch 10 Angry Men? Isn't that a jury movie 12.? Oh, 10 is shorter. Oh, yeah, 10 people to work with. Oh, that, two of them might not be as angry. Yeah, 10 angry and two moderately Too fair at first, but so that I still am three movie short and I apologize for listeners. I hope I didn't fail you, but I will try to watch. Are you kidding? 70%?
Speaker 1:I would recommend Barbie Holdovers and I really would recommend Oppenheimer. I found it really interesting. Oh, so if you have 12 hours to spare, check it out. Oh, my Shall we dip into Heisenberg? Yeah, we should dip into Heisenberg. What do you guys?
Speaker 1:My high is, the girls closet is finished. I was super happy about that. That's a nice feeling. We came in and one in two hours, yeah, it was done. It was great In and out.
Speaker 1:How about you? Well, my lowest, oh yeah, my child had a fabulous weekend. My third grader, out and about, went to the Iowa women's basketball game, got to see Caitlin Clark play and last night he was all snuggled in his bed and I realized he had two packets of homework and 50 pages of a book that he's supposed to read on Tuesday. Maybe I did ask him many, many, many times if he had homework and he told me no. Well, maybe he thought it was just e-learning and not exactly homework.
Speaker 1:So now I just, you know like, would you have? You're like, well, now we have. That's what I'm looking at ahead of me tonight, is this? So it's my low, I'm sorry, my low is the laundry that's looking at me. I cannot keep up. I was like is it getting close? It's a laundry monster. It's spooky. What's a dream? It's like dripping with clothes. I wish people could see, see the laundry. It does a bit move very quickly because it's oh yeah, it's all the static Because there's so much fabric like holding it down, but all the sweatshirts, all the hoodies, yeah, I just had a lot of laundry to do. Yeah, so, so sorry, that's what happens, I guess.
Speaker 1:But my high was our Saturday night. Our Saturday night was fantastic. It was so fun because, like, price is Right was a bit of a bummer. But we really turned it around. We met up with some friends and then we were both hungry. So we went and got a little late night snack and it was fun. Yeah, both were fun, like it was fun to meet up with those girls because it was just kind of like our night continued, yes, and then it was. We were hungry, yeah, and the place we were at was closing so we took it apart ourselves to do our own late night. That's the problem, yeah, and it wasn't wild and crazy, but it was great. No, it didn't require any hercule derculing in the morning. No, it wasn't hercule derculing in the morning, right out of bed. So, thank you. And there you have it. Thanks for joining us today. Okay, bye, bye.
