This week on Two Ginger Gems, the Artemis splashdown had Kate in tears (don't worry, happy ones!) as millions around the world united to watch one of the most breathtaking moments in space history. Then it's a big week in TV and film.  They dive into Scarpetta, Jury Duty: Company Retreat, and Kate delivers a passionate verdict on the Peaky Blinders movie (spoiler: it's not pretty).

Kate gets emotional over the stunning theatre production English at the Geffen Playhouse, they give a shout out to Mark Ballas opening in Chicago, and head to Yamashiro for sushi with one of the best views in LA. Plus, a waiter with a very unexpected claim to fame, Kate's new car Delilah gets a full universe of friends, and Coachella's opening night has a surprising Hollywood cameo.

SPEAKER_02 0:08

Please welcome two Ginger Gems with Kate and James. Let's get into it, guys.

SPEAKER_00 0:15

I tell you what, it's been a bloody fast week.

SPEAKER_01 0:17

It has been a fast week.

SPEAKER_00 0:18

It has been so fast.

SPEAKER_01 0:20

Hello, darling.

SPEAKER_00 0:20

Hello, babe. Do you know last week? Do you know what really got me this week? And there's a few things I'm going to talk about actually throughout the whole thing with the same with the same theme. And we'll start with the moon with the Artemis splashing down. Did you watch it?

SPEAKER_01 0:35

Very much so, yes. What's it like?

SPEAKER_00 0:37

Babe, I was so emotional. I was sitting there going, I don't know where it was coming from. I wasn't feeling it was so weird. But when you know part of it was the they were counting down, that always gives me a little PDF.

SPEAKER_01 0:50

Funny how like there was just watching it, you get I I mean, I don't know about you, but I'm like, parachute, another parachute, yeah, yeah. Door open. Yeah. Like all the you know, just the whole thing and the kind of excitement of like thinking, you know, oh my god, they've they've done all that whole thing, they've done the big, big, big, big kind of trip, and now they're back, and then just little dinghies kind of going around the boat, and the it was just like you know, the suddenly it's so unbelievable what they did. Yeah, and now it's back to the reality that they're bobbing around in the ocean, and there's like little rubber dinghies going pulling up next door to it to try and get them out to take them back to helicopters. It was just like such a bizarre moment, but it was like considering the way that everything is right now, it was like so nice that there was like this pride and this like you know, everyone's united in in just hoping it all goes well. Yeah, the whole thing about the sonic boom. I opened my doors because there was you you're gonna obviously in LA we're not that far from San Diego, and it was like, oh, you're gonna hear the sonic boom between like five and five fifteen or whatever it was. I didn't know. And then there was like some reporter on the news saying, like, well, I'm in San Diego and I didn't hear it, so I thought, Well, can close the door.

SPEAKER_00 1:50

Oh, we didn't hear it, did we? Yeah, we didn't get Sonic Book one, didn't we? We did, yeah. That was scary. Oh, was that a SpaceX? SpaceX went up. It felt like something fell on our roof. We thought like a I don't know, it felt like something huge had fallen on the roof, and then we were and we were like, What the hell? And we were outside and everybody was like, What happened? And then some people had their like their bedroom door like flew open, they thought someone kicked the door in. It was crazy. What was that? A while back. Yeah, last year. It was very cool. But you know what it is, what I was gonna say, it's the connection, isn't it? It's connection that touches everyone because we're all connecting, all uh so many people, millions of people watching the same thing and feeling the the same thing, you know, feeling the the the fear and then feeling the pride and then feeling the happiness and it for them and just all of that, and you know, and they you kept I just kept thinking about their if it's me and I'm feeling this much emotion watching this. Can you imagine if that was someone you knew on it, your family, your husband, your kid, your you and your mother or father, or whatever. It was just like crazy. You'd be like, I can't even imagine how overwhelming that must have been for anybody because I was over the all over the place. Yeah, I couldn't believe it, could I, babe? I kept saying it's huge success, though, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01 3:03

Everything like went as good as it was supposed to be.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

It was like it was perfection. Like I said, even to the time, they had everything. I mean, you kept saying, Well, it's math, Kate, it's math, or maths, as we say in English, but it was like, wow.

SPEAKER_01 3:14

The other day, when it goes around the far side of the moon, there's like 40 minutes when it's around the back, where it's too far around one way and it loses the signal from one side and it hasn't got far enough around to gain the signal from the other. And they were talking to the the astronauts about you know what it was like, and they said it was actually really calming for them because they are constantly hearing voices, and suddenly this was the time that they could sit and take it in between the four of them looking out and what they see without having to answer questions and kind of do stuff. They said there's nothing they could do, is just sit and wait. So they had 40 minutes of like calm. There is always that fear of well, what could go wrong? Because I mean things have gone wrong in the past, of course, you know. So, um, but yeah, it was an incredibly cool, uniting moment of like pride and everything, and just like cool, just cool anyway.

SPEAKER_00 3:58

Yeah, should we talk about some TV?

SPEAKER_01 4:00

We should. Um have you seen any TV this week?

SPEAKER_00 4:04

God, do you know what? This week we dived into about six different shows, didn't we, babe? We really did. We finished Scarpetta. What the hell? Oh, I'll I can't say anything, can I? Because most a lot of people haven't watched it yet. But what a I don't know about their ending. That's all I'm gonna say about that. Well, they got a season two, so there has to be a season two, really, doesn't there? Because we were kind of left out in the cold a bit about that, but yeah, that was up and down for me. I would give it maybe out of five stars, I would give it maybe a three and a half. Okay. What do you reckon? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 4:38

I'm right around there. I enjoyed it. I mean, it kept me going, it wasn't great. The rating was a little shit.

SPEAKER_00 4:42

Yes. Um, and then we started. Do you remember Jewelry Duty?

SPEAKER_01 4:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:46

This one is called Company Retreat. And it's basically this uh this temp went for a job, he's just a temp. And they said they got the job and it's coming on a week on a one of the company retreats. So everybody is actors apart from him. And it's the same kind of thing, isn't it?

SPEAKER_01 5:04

It's a bit Truman showish.

SPEAKER_00 5:05

And it's good because you watch it like if I was that person, you know, I would say more here, I would say less here. He's dealing really well with that. So you feel like you're in his shoes because you don't know obviously what's going to happen. They go for people who are extremely kind and extremely thoughtful. Oh, so I'm um you would never get in at the end. I could potentially be next, never.

SPEAKER_01 5:24

I'm I'll be on next season.

SPEAKER_00 5:25

You you won't be on any of the you could go in there and probably be one of the actors. You could be like them, like the mean boy actor or something.

SPEAKER_02 5:32

Mean boy actor.

SPEAKER_00 5:34

But um, yeah, so we'll see. Yeah, it's good. It's good. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:37

Well, let's talk about some movies then. I saw the bride on, I was flicking through like Netflix or Amazon or something the other day, and the bride came up and I was like, Do I? And I thought, oh, I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I can do that.

SPEAKER_00 5:46

We'll start it at least and then see how far.

SPEAKER_01 5:48

I'll do my usual ten minutes.

SPEAKER_00 5:49

Yeah, do ten minutes and then you get the feel of it. We saw Peaky Blinders, the Immortal, the Immortal Man.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

The Immortal Man. Oh good. It was fucking terrible.

SPEAKER_00 5:58

I'm so I'm so I'm so upset. I'm so upset because I loved, absolutely adored Peaky Blinders. Did you watch the series?

SPEAKER_01 6:08

I I tried during lockdown and I gave up.

SPEAKER_00 6:10

I l I mean I adored Peaky Blinders.

SPEAKER_01 6:14

It's just these movies never you know, you get the so bad, babe. I mean Abfab did a movie and it was okay, but it wasn't as good as a series. It was Downton did the movies, never as good as a series. They never are whenever they do the movie, it's like, oh we've got to go to the street.

SPEAKER_00 6:27

Sex and the City. Terrible two movies.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

They I it just never take I mean you get used to something for what it is, and then when you take it out of that format and try and make it bigger, it just is now no longer the format that you'd know. So it just everything doesn't seem right about it.

SPEAKER_00 6:42

Yeah, but uh I think the main problem with Peaky Blinders is we didn't really know anybody on it in it, apart from Thomas Shelby, did we? Everybody had gone, you know. They had uh they really didn't have anybody else. Barry, what's he called, Bailey?

SPEAKER_01 6:57

Kyogan.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Keogan is in there, came in as his son. He didn't play his son.

SPEAKER_01 7:02

So was it like a different generation or a different thing?

SPEAKER_00 7:04

Well, it was a little bit further on. We were like in the World War II era era, but um it was just it was the worst thing I've ever seen. I couldn't even remember. Yeah, the writing was too much. The writing was absolutely awful. There was no story, it didn't really go anywhere. It was and it was just shouldn't have done it.

SPEAKER_01 7:20

No, it felt very small.

SPEAKER_00 7:22

Oh, it felt it didn't feel even feel like a movie. It felt like they had three sets or something, and it was just like, oh god. Anyway, but you know what will hit that with classic TV. Because if you really want to see a fantastic series, go watch if you haven't seen Peaky Blinders or re-watch it, go ahead.

SPEAKER_02 7:38

Yeah, yeah, go watch, go watch the seasons. But yeah, just amazing.

SPEAKER_00 7:41

Amazing television and forget about the movie, and in fact, don't bother going because it'll just ruin if you like Peaky Blinders or loved it, you won't, yeah, you won't be liking that project.

SPEAKER_02 7:50

Alright, well, speaking of classic classic movies, I think James has.

SPEAKER_01 7:53

Did you uh did you ever like Laurel and Hardy?

SPEAKER_00 7:57

Um, not not really, babe. You know why? I don't I don't really like slapsticky stuff. Slapstick stuff. So I never was into Lauren Hardy and what was the other ones? Well, there's Chaplin.

SPEAKER_01 8:08

Abbott and Costello Castellas, I say Costello.

SPEAKER_00 8:12

Yeah, Costello, okay. Costello. Um I just Howard Lloyd.

SPEAKER_01 8:16

Yeah. No, all of that.

SPEAKER_00 8:18

Even Charlie Chaplin, although I do love some of Charlie Chaplin's just because I just I I don't know about something about Charlie Chaplin, it's super cool.

SPEAKER_01 8:25

The reason I'm bringing up Lauren Hardy is this year is uh it's a hundred years since they met and not since they met, but it's a hundred years since they kind of formed their partnership. And I think they made a movie in 20 in 1926 and didn't come out until 27, so that next year is the actual year, 100 years since the first movie. But the partnership was formed in 1926, so it's a hundred years. So there's kind of like events going on tomorrow, the 100 years since their partnership. But um when I first came to LA, because I'm a bit of a dull, um, I would look to see if any of the places that uh Laurel and Hardy was filmed still existed, and there is some places that are still there, and it's cool. I mean, I and I've driven to take a look at them. I even took Tom Berger onto one of them uh because he's a big fan of like all the old um black and white kind of silent.

SPEAKER_00 9:09

Yeah, he loves he loves Charlie Chaplin. Remember, he did the Charlie Chaplin dance.

SPEAKER_01 9:14

The dance he didn't dance with the stars, was it Chris Chaplin?

SPEAKER_00 9:16

Charlie Chaplin.

SPEAKER_01 9:16

Um but there is a uh there was like the one of the famous movies from uh from the 30s that uh they did, which one Nosca was the music box where they carried a um where the whole thing was them pushing a carrying a piano up a bit up a long staircase and it's a massive long staircase and they carry the piano up and there is a whole thing that goes on. Uh well the staircase is still there and it's in Silver Lake, and it's like it's now called the Laurel and it's called the Music Box Steps, and it's like this mecca that's where all the Laurel and Hardy fans come to go and look at the staircase. There is a movie called Perfect Day where they are come out of a house and they're getting in the cart and they try and leave, and then everything goes wrong that the car gets punctured, and then something else happens, something else happens. But it all takes place in front of this house, and uh and the house is still there, it's on Vera Avenue in Culver City, and it is exactly the same as it was a hundred years ago. In England, you know, everything's thousands of years old or hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years old, but like in the US, it's not that much, it is that old. So to go back and see these things from you know the uh the 20s and to see it still being there is a cool thing to go and see. But yeah, so Laurel and Hardy, and then there was a weird um weird work with Dick Van Dyck on that special that we did, uh the 98th birthday special. There's also 100 right now. He um apparently when he first moved to LA, he wanted to get started in comedy and didn't really know who to call. So he looked in the phone book and he looked up Stan Laurel, who was still alive and was literally in the phone book, and he it was under Laurel, and he called him and they became friends, and he got a lot of advice in his early career as to from Stan Laurel as to how to kind of get into television.

SPEAKER_00 10:47

You can see it there as well. Yeah, like if somebody should have played Stan Laurel, it should have been Dick Van Dyke because he's got the same kind of face on the face and the yeah, and they and very uh very physical the physicality of the phone.

SPEAKER_01 10:59

And then and back to Tom Bergeron, Tom kind of followed Dick as a you know mentor, and so there's kind of like there's been this thing that you know Laurel Stan Laurel was Dick's mentor, Dick Van Dyke is kind of Tom's mentor, and then the bizarrely, Tom also, when he was younger, he reached out, same type of thing like what Dick did. He reached out to one of the three stooges, I don't know, which Mo or something, and he and he got him on the phone, and so he became friends with him. So there's like that kind of weird thing that this stuff's a hundred years ago, but there is like still people around today that has a link back to people of that era.

SPEAKER_00 11:32

My um my my stepdad, um, he what he saw Lauren Hardy in Brighton. They came and did a tour of England.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

That's what the movie Stan and Ollie was.

SPEAKER_00 11:40

Yeah, yeah, and we've yeah, with Steve Cooper to it.

SPEAKER_01 11:43

To me, being a you know interested in set design and production design, to be able to go to the places, I get more excitement seeing that the the the house from Perfect Day than his hat, you know. Like if there was there's to be able to go to the place and think this is where it took place is is really cool to me, but there is still people who you uh around who had a connection to them.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Connection again, babe. Yeah, connection. That's today's that's today's theme, connection. Right. It really is.

SPEAKER_02 12:08

Speaking of connection theatre, we saw something that deals with connection.

SPEAKER_00 12:14

Oh my god. When I saw a show called English, right, which I tried to see last year in New York. I was starting at Juilliard for one semester there, and the teacher was saying you have to go and see English, which is which is uh was at the roundabout theatre because it closes this week. And I went there every day to try and get a ticket, and they were sold out, so I missed it. But thank God it's it it's come to LA. It's based in um Iran and it's based in a uh you know, like um English schools, what they call it. English as a second language.

SPEAKER_01 12:49

Yeah, T E F L Teaching English as a foreign language.

SPEAKER_00 12:51

Yeah, teaching English as a foreign language, um, and they're learning English basically in this class, and there's four students and the teacher, and it is so beautifully done. The way they show the difference between their language and then showing them learning the English is very funny. You know, it's just very well is very unique, very cool, and um the people and the and why they're there, because obviously that all comes out why they're in this room, and I won't give anything away, but honestly, it gives me chills thinking about it. It's just we're all we're all the same. We're just no matter where you're from or what you're doing, everybody is fundamentally the same, you know. They need to feel b like they belong somewhere, they need to feel connection, they need to feel that they're having some kind of growth all the time, and they need to get be uncomfortable so they can grow. But it just showed it in such a beautiful, beautiful way that I think and it's really needed now because we need to see what we're all the bloody same no matter where you're from or what you're doing or or whatever. Fundamentally, we're all the same bloody thing, and we need to, you know, we need to stop treating people that as well. Stop yeah, because we're all the bloody same. Anyway, don't get too deep or anything. But yes, English at the Wallace, and it's on from it's on through the 26th of April. Yeah, yeah, go see it. It's really beautiful, beautiful piece of theatre, and it did win the Pulitzer Prize for the uh the uh what was the lady who wrote it, babe?

SPEAKER_02 14:22

Um uh Sanaz Tusi.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

Yeah, she won the Pulitzer Prize for it, and it also was up for Tony's and everything. And it's the same cast, okay, which I have to say is very important. Yeah, it was very good. I've seen so many things that come from Broadway to here and it's no diss of anybody, but when it's different cast, sometimes it can be a bit of a failure. But this is exactly the same cast, it's absolutely brilliant, and you're gonna get a lot cheaper than if you'd gone seen it in New York, that's for sure. But yeah, beautiful, beautiful piece of theatre.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

Shifting is a little bit. Uh we talked about Chicago a couple of weeks back, and um with Whitney Levitt in it doing it incredibly well, and uh old Mark Ballas opened up this week started this week, right?

SPEAKER_00 15:01

Yeah, yeah, opened up this week to rave reviews. Excellent, and also um, yeah, they when he walked on stage, there was a video of it, and he got on stage and the crowd just went mad. And he kind of was like, You can see he was like, I'm supposed to speak now, but Duwinda and they just kept going and going, and then just thought, shit, I've just got to say that and start, you know, or he's gonna be standing there forever. Right. So he they he sort of said the first line, walked down the stairs onto the stage, and then they started again applauding him. And then he started singing, and oh my god, he's got a good voice. He's got a great voice. I was like, what? I mean, I knew that he was in Jersey Boys and he played Frankie Valley, of course. So I knew he could sing, but he really has got a great voice. I mean, it's perfect for that. Good for him. Yeah, so yeah, very pleased for Mark Ballis, and that runs for the month, I think. May the 3rd it finishes. I think she finishes then as well, unless of course she gets extended.

SPEAKER_02 15:53

Any interesting eats this week?

SPEAKER_00 15:56

Well, yeah, I mean, we went to actually went to Yamashiro this week.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

Did you really?

SPEAKER_00 15:59

I haven't been to Yamashiro. How long is it? Is a year, maybe more than a year. The last time I haven't been there for since my birthday.

SPEAKER_01 16:05

We went up there with my birthday.

SPEAKER_00 16:06

Actually, that probably was your birthday.

SPEAKER_01 16:08

Ross boss was there, do you remember?

SPEAKER_00 16:09

Yeah. Yeah, Ross. Ross was there.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

So Yamashiro, those who don't know it, like Yamashiro is a Japanese place up on the hill above Hollywood. It sits directly above the uh Magic Castle. Uh the Magic Castle and the uh the Doldy that uh not for much longer has the Oscars. Um and then uh and it's like a it was built as a replica of uh I think it was like a massive uh like a Japanese home that they brought the pieces over and built it. And it was built like in the you know 30s and 40s, and it's beautiful, but now it's a restaurant.

SPEAKER_00 16:37

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 16:38

And it's it's a bit like the um the food is good, but it's a bit like the Getty Center that the view is better than the actual reason you go.

SPEAKER_00 16:46

Yeah, you basically you go whenever you get people who have never been to LA, Yamashiro's the place to go. That's on the list, just because they go there and they're just the view and it's real wow factor.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

If you go at dusk and you can still see over the you can see the Hollywood sign, you can see downtown, all that sort of stuff, and then as it gets darker and all the lights and all the lights come up, it's just uh incredible views. But they the the nice thing about Yamashiro is that during lockdown they opened up it used to be a big driveway around the front of it that used to be where they used to valet cars, but during lockdown they moved everything out there and built this temporary area of seating out the front of it so that people could still eat there. And it was so good that they've kept it, but now they've made it a permanent thing. But like those seats out the front are better than the seats because it used to be you used to go inside and get the window. If you sat by the window, you were great. If you sat anywhere else, you couldn't see a shit. So now everybody has these well, not everybody, but like there's now they've like doubled their amount of seating. Yeah, and it's a really nice area, it's really nice. The food's great. It's I mean, it's mainly kind of like a sushi type of thing, but it's the food's great, but it's the the place and the view is worth going, even if you don't like sushi, you can just have a I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 17:50

You can have a drink, or they have that the top, the high top tables there, the like barish tables around the edge, which are the best ones. If you're just in two, they're the best ones to get for sure. Because then you're a little bit higher and you really have gone.

SPEAKER_02 18:02

You really get a good view completely on a big one. Remember, we went there for the 4th of July one time.

SPEAKER_00 18:06

Oh, yeah, that was amazing. Skyline is full of fireworks, all going across because everything was slightly different, it seemed to be earlier here, and it literally went all the way across in time and wise it was.

SPEAKER_01 18:14

Because so you can see, you can literally sit look to the left and see the Hollywood sign, you can go all the way out and see to the ocean. But incredible place. Yeah, lovely atmosphere.

SPEAKER_00 18:23

And just to give a shout out to our waiter, we had this fantastic waiter called called TJ. And um he he was uh obviously when uh he met us and I was like speaking, he was like, Oh, you're English. And he said to me, Do you know the do you know the blue blue Peter badge?

SPEAKER_02 18:41

Took him five seconds.

SPEAKER_00 18:42

It took him five seconds and then too. I said, The blue Peter badge, yes. I said, he said, yeah, I've got a he said, I've got a blue Peter badge and a platinum blue Peter badge. No, I've never even heard of a platinum blue Peter badge.

SPEAKER_01 18:53

Right, for those who don't know, Blue Peter, kids' TV show started in the 50s, it's still going to this day. Yes, it's been on forever, obviously. And if you and the the logo, the blue Peter is named after a ship, yeah, and the logo for the show is a blue cartoony version of a ship. And if you do something good, oh you go on if you get on the show. If you go on the show, or if you could do like you know, you whatever, you get a blue Peter badge. Everybody wants a blue Peter bag. Everybody wants a blue Peter badge. It's a little white plastic shield with a blue with a blue ship on it. Yeah. And there was, I think the Queen had one. I think they gave the Queen one but they gave her like a gold one or something. But there's like there's different levels. I know there's different levels that you can get the gold one and the silver one, but it's like you have to do something super, you know, you have to kind of I don't know, raise a load of money for charity to get a gold one or whatever.

SPEAKER_00 19:35

I didn't even know there was silver and gold. Yeah, I just knew it was like I was still living in the plastic. It's like ranking.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

I don't know the real gold, it'd be a spray paper.

SPEAKER_00 19:43

Well, you know what I mean.

SPEAKER_01 19:44

I would just like to there's different rankings that you can get. It's but it's like a blue Peter badge. And he has a blue Peter badge. How did he get a blue bag?

SPEAKER_00 19:50

Platinum blue Peter badge.

SPEAKER_01 19:51

How did he get them?

SPEAKER_00 19:52

Because he was a dancer with Britney Spears, and they went on the show twice. The first time they went on, they gave the all the dancers the blue Peter badge, and then the second time he went on, because he'd already got the plastic one, they gave him the platinum one. Platinum one, can you believe he was so what how lovely was he?

Yeah, but the fact that she's she's come straight in right on her, you know, right in the moment of on the on the exact time she should have appeared, she's appeared. And can I just tell I don't know if I spoke about her key. Did I tell you about her key? I know I posted it.

She's a Beetle, that's what she's about. But she um um also has other friends, like she has a she has one called Zelda.

SPEAKER_01 24:07

She's is this like Thomas the Tank Engine?

SPEAKER_00 24:10

SPEAKER_01 24:16

Who's Zelda?

SPEAKER_00 24:17

Zelda's one of her best friends, she's crazy, named after um Scott Fitzgerald's wife, Zelda. Um, she's a little crazy enough it, you know. I don't mind. It's a car. It's a car. And then her other one is Tulula. And she's Tulula is just like she's more fun and like sort of, you know, more of a more of a light fun. While Zelda's got that a bit of a darkness about her in a good way.

SPEAKER_01 24:40

Like I if I was going to be like, You're telling me she's got friends, all the cars friends, and yet you're saying that Zelda's the one that's crazy.

SPEAKER_00 24:49

They're all crazy, but there's a levelness in there. Right. But yeah, so yeah. So I've already got a little light for her. She's friends with you. What's your car called? Do you have a name for your car? You don't you don't have a name for your car? No.

SPEAKER_01 25:01

Oh, that's wrong.

unknown 25:02

How can you not?

SPEAKER_01 25:03

But next week I'll have a name for my car.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

I cannot believe you haven't got a name for your car. No, she'll be friends with your car.

SPEAKER_01 25:09

She will know if my friend wants my car wants to be friends.

SPEAKER_00 25:11

I can't say what your car will be actually on air, but yeah, you're I just had a really good thought. Okay, right. Yes, so what else then? Do you know what? I will just quickly talk about Coachella. Coachella started, and uh Sabrina Carpenter opened it up there our first night. I think she was she's there for two nights. She was there for the first night, and um, she had Susan Sarandon there live in a car, like a she basically she came out in this classic car, but it was uh they did a little movie beforehand, a little black and white movie. So it was like you know, there was a slapstick. Oh, there was no slapstick, thank god. And it was her in the car, Springer Carpenter, and Sam Elliott, right? You know, Sam Elliot, the actor. Oh my god, I used to be mad for him. Jeez. There used to be this gif, gif, is it gif of him? GIF, the gif, gif, yeah. And he used to pull his hair back at the front just like that. You can't see, but I'm pulling like my hair back at the front. Yeah, just like that. I'll I'll I'll gonna say no more, but I'll link it below, ladies. Yeah, and gentlemen. Anyway, yeah, so Susan Sarandon is in the car and she does a seven-minute monologue in there playing basically Sabrina Carpenter when she's older, future Sabrina Carpenter. It was kind of cool, and Will Farrell, was it electrician? He played or something.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

He came out and said, I heard someone lost power or something like that.

SPEAKER_00 26:33

Yes, yes, he came out played like who's gonna fix something, and then um Samuel L. Jackson played um like her spiritual guide, so it's just a voice uh voice thing, I think. Yeah, so I thought that was pretty amazing. Yeah, she had it all looking like Sabrina uh Hollywood, like Hollywood Hills. She had Sabrina Wood.

SPEAKER_01 26:51

One time on Dance with the Stars again, we went on a look on a walk, on a lunch break, and we went up the Grove Drive and we went past those trailers. And there's all trailers parked because something was I don't know where they were shooting, but yeah, it must have been nearby like they were shooting something. She was past and Susan Sarandon was in one. There was a trailer.

SPEAKER_00 27:05

Shout out to her dog, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 27:06

And we walked past and it was just like, oh, you know, Hollywood.

SPEAKER_00 27:10

She's sitting there eating her lunch or whatever and shouting at a dog who was trying to get leave the trailer. Just on a random lunch break. Because I love her. Susan Sarandon. I mean, I love her.

SPEAKER_01 27:18

SPEAKER_01 27:25

Who's made the gem cut this week? I'm gonna put Laurel and Hardy in because for a hundred years they've been fantastic and I think they're hilarious. And I particularly like their slapstick. That's what's made them. That's what's that's good, you know. That's what's kept them going for a hundred years. That's that's why they're globally known around the slapstick.

SPEAKER_00 27:39

Yeah, but I'd like to see I'd like to see slapstick. Do you know definitely made slaps? But I hate to say this, and I don't mean this in any other way than just what we talked about in in the very first episode of this. I'd like to know how many people know who Lauren Hardy is if you've been out on the street and asked.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

I know you say you don't like slapstick, but if I fell over, you'd laugh your ass off.

SPEAKER_00 27:56

Oh god, no, there's nothing funnier than you falling over. Nothing funnier than you falling over, but yeah, I think um who else paid for the gem cut? I wouldn't even put the gems.
