She just gets all young and giddy, 0:03:08.464 --> 0:03:09.704 and honestly, it's all because. 0:03:09.504 --> 0:03:13.384 She's like the professional TV personality. She's been on talk 0:03:13.384 --> 0:03:16.464 shows in America for decades and you know, hosting really 0:03:16.504 --> 0:03:18.024 big shows like The View, and now she's got her 0:03:18.024 --> 0:03:20.504 own talk shows, so she's not normally like this is 0:03:20.544 --> 0:03:22.424 the interesting thing when I saw this clip, Like she's 0:03:22.464 --> 0:03:25.304 usually very bubbleting side it, but she lost her mind 0:03:25.304 --> 0:03:27.944 when Lenny Kravi came on Stane and then when he 0:03:27.984 --> 0:03:30.744 sat down and she leans forward and just puts her 0:03:30.744 --> 0:03:33.344 hands on his bare chest and she's like, sorry, I 0:03:33.424 --> 0:03:34.944 just have to And then then it's like she has 0:03:34.984 --> 0:03:37.664 this moment that's just him and her chest alone in 0:03:37.704 --> 0:03:41.584 a room, and as a painted all, yeah, it's insane. 0:03:41.824 --> 0:03:44.504 Seriously, it's like your photo shot. 0:03:44.264 --> 0:03:45.784 And look, I get it. Sometimes you can be a 0:03:45.784 --> 0:03:48.304 professional and then you meet your ultimate crush and no 0:03:48.344 --> 0:03:51.904 matter how seasoned you are and how you are to 0:03:51.904 --> 0:03:54.424 sort of keeping your cool around celebrities, you're gonna freak 0:03:54.424 --> 0:03:55.184 out and lose your mind. 0:03:55.224 --> 0:03:59.784 Do you revert to your teenage self? So elve, who 0:03:59.784 --> 0:04:02.184 would you lose your shit if you met he? 0:04:02.224 --> 0:04:03.464 Have had to think about it. I feel like you 0:04:03.464 --> 0:04:04.104 think you know. 0:04:04.344 --> 0:04:06.424 Oh, yes, I do, the guy from The Walking Dead, 0:04:06.464 --> 0:04:09.784 because every time you mentioned him, you revert into that 0:04:09.904 --> 0:04:10.784 teenage girl. 0:04:11.024 --> 0:04:13.584 I know, so Norman readers, he's my TV crush. I 0:04:13.624 --> 0:04:15.144 do turn down interviews with him a lot, so it 0:04:15.224 --> 0:04:16.464 was like, I can't be in the same room as him. 0:04:16.544 --> 0:04:18.344 But I do think if I met him, the illusion 0:04:18.344 --> 0:04:19.864 would be gone. Like I don't think he'd be as 0:04:19.864 --> 0:04:21.984 sexy in real life as his character is in The 0:04:22.024 --> 0:04:24.904 Walking Dead. I guess, like you know, bare arms, crossbow 0:04:25.024 --> 0:04:27.864 killing walkers. I think the only person I might truly 0:04:28.344 --> 0:04:30.664 lose my mind over. I mean, look, I'm not gonna 0:04:30.664 --> 0:04:32.264 say no like a Brad Peet or something like that. 0:04:32.384 --> 0:04:33.504 I'm sure if I was in a room with him, 0:04:33.504 --> 0:04:35.104 I would still lose my mind a little bit because 0:04:35.104 --> 0:04:37.864 I feel like he's got that old school movie star charisma. 0:04:37.944 --> 0:04:39.544 I think it would be Jensen Acles. 0:04:41.224 --> 0:04:42.304 Who is that? 0:04:42.464 --> 0:04:44.184 Oh that kills me. I've been in love with this 0:04:44.224 --> 0:04:46.504 man since I was fourteen. He was on all those 0:04:46.544 --> 0:04:49.944 like teen supernatural shows when I was a teenager, So 0:04:49.984 --> 0:04:51.944 he was on Dark Angel, he was on small Ville, 0:04:52.104 --> 0:04:55.584 and then he was the co star in Supernatural with 0:04:55.744 --> 0:04:58.024 Dared Peladecki that ran for over ten years. 0:04:58.104 --> 0:04:59.304 Do you know Jared yep? 0:04:59.544 --> 0:05:03.944 Oh yeah, you see it right? But I who But 0:05:03.944 --> 0:05:06.264 I mean, look at that but look at that face. 0:05:06.504 --> 0:05:08.544 Yeah it's really but it's not face. 0:05:08.864 --> 0:05:12.184 You can have a crazy good looking man and he's 0:05:12.184 --> 0:05:14.504 got no personality, no charisma. I know people don't think 0:05:14.504 --> 0:05:16.304 it's true, but when you I've talked to a lot 0:05:16.304 --> 0:05:18.624 of dumb hot men in my time, it goes away 0:05:18.904 --> 0:05:21.464 on the show. He's character Not only is he killing 0:05:21.504 --> 0:05:23.864 wances and demons and stuff, but he's got so much charisma, 0:05:24.384 --> 0:05:27.224 so much attitude. And then also he does all these 0:05:27.224 --> 0:05:29.544 live shows where he tours around with Jared, which is 0:05:29.544 --> 0:05:32.264 such nerdy okay, talking to fans, and he's just so 0:05:32.344 --> 0:05:34.784 hot and charismatic in real life. But I think if 0:05:34.784 --> 0:05:36.264 I was ever in a room with him, well, I 0:05:36.304 --> 0:05:38.584 wouldn't be I would remove myself from the situation. I 0:05:38.584 --> 0:05:41.944 would lose my mind. Where who who's your crush? Who 0:05:42.384 --> 0:05:42.904 your mind over? 0:05:43.024 --> 0:05:44.784 I've really thought about this because I made sure that 0:05:44.904 --> 0:05:46.184 they weren't it's important. 0:05:46.264 --> 0:05:49.584 Oh okay married, to be fair, that's not what's stopping 0:05:49.664 --> 0:05:50.624 us from being together. 0:05:50.824 --> 0:05:54.024 Now now I've really thought it through. So I was 0:05:54.064 --> 0:05:56.064 thinking about who is to you? And to be honest, 0:05:56.864 --> 0:05:58.824 I haven't met nearly as many celebrities you know, I've met. 0:05:58.824 --> 0:06:01.784 I've been a few, and at the end of the day, 0:06:01.784 --> 0:06:03.384 they're just people, my people. 0:06:03.984 --> 0:06:04.824 Michael B. Jordan. 0:06:05.224 --> 0:06:07.544 Oh, yes, but you've got a list of more than one. Yeah, 0:06:07.664 --> 0:06:09.624 but two okay, sure, yeah, Michael B. Jordan, I can 0:06:09.704 --> 0:06:12.304 see that you would lose your mind. You two would 0:06:12.384 --> 0:06:13.584 lean forward and put your. 0:06:13.424 --> 0:06:15.504 Hands on I would just not just stop, I just 0:06:15.544 --> 0:06:17.544 start flirting with him, like way too much. 0:06:17.584 --> 0:06:18.864 I just aggressively flat. 0:06:19.544 --> 0:06:21.584 And then the one person i'd probably is my shit 0:06:21.624 --> 0:06:23.584 with more than anyone. I read it in capital letters 0:06:23.584 --> 0:06:27.344 of my note. Very cute. Again, really don't you see 0:06:27.424 --> 0:06:29.184 personality as well? 0:06:29.384 --> 0:06:31.504 Like did you do you think does he have a personality? 0:06:31.504 --> 0:06:33.664 Have we seen that Vanity Fair video that he did 0:06:33.744 --> 0:06:35.624 that he did with his bare bottom and just that 0:06:35.744 --> 0:06:39.384 cheeky little smile and he's a huge Killing Murphy supporter, 0:06:39.424 --> 0:06:41.184 and he's irish, and okay. 0:06:40.904 --> 0:06:42.704 You're listening things to be good that are like good 0:06:42.704 --> 0:06:44.504 on paper or good to talk about. If you were 0:06:44.544 --> 0:06:47.704 really standing eye level because he's really sure, if you 0:06:47.704 --> 0:06:50.144 were staying eye level with that, I'd still be sure 0:06:50.224 --> 0:06:53.384 that with that weedy, kind of pale man, nothing against that. 0:06:53.664 --> 0:06:56.344 I told you we are different, Like no, I. 0:06:56.264 --> 0:06:58.144 Know, I know mine was a bit of a beefcake 0:06:58.144 --> 0:07:00.064 because I'm a basic bitch. But I'm just saying I 0:07:00.064 --> 0:07:01.904 think his personal I would really have to shine for 0:07:01.944 --> 0:07:04.144 you to lose your mind. Otherwise you would just be like, oh, 0:07:04.144 --> 0:07:05.744 it's just not the guy. 0:07:06.224 --> 0:07:08.464 I just guess no one makes me getting like a school. 0:07:08.184 --> 0:07:11.704 Girl so she's dead, and well, now it's my goal 0:07:11.744 --> 0:07:13.104 in life to get you in a room with Barry 0:07:13.184 --> 0:07:15.544 so I can see this experiment come to fruition. Say 0:07:16.664 --> 0:07:17.264 would happen? 0:07:17.624 --> 0:07:20.304 Just play it on the dance floor to strip down. 0:07:20.984 --> 0:07:23.024 I'd be like, yeah, I'm already sweating a little bit 0:07:23.784 --> 0:07:24.264 coming up. 0:07:24.224 --> 0:07:26.264 On the show today. As we said, get rid of 0:07:26.264 --> 0:07:29.464 your friends, because we have the TV shows about female 0:07:29.464 --> 0:07:34.784 friendships and also some pretty epic weekend watches. I missed 0:07:34.784 --> 0:07:37.384 a few episodes of the pod recently because I was, 0:07:37.464 --> 0:07:41.264 you know, often about at home at work things, and 0:07:41.304 --> 0:07:43.824 if I had been here, my weekend watch pick that 0:07:43.864 --> 0:07:46.744 I would have been screaming from the rooftops was Girls 0:07:46.784 --> 0:07:48.184 five Ever, Season three? 0:07:48.464 --> 0:07:50.944 How are we going to get her for the reunion summer? 0:07:51.184 --> 0:07:52.184 There's no reunion. 0:07:52.304 --> 0:07:55.384 Don't say that was that good. 0:07:55.624 --> 0:07:56.944 I've tried out for the House File. I was like 0:07:56.984 --> 0:07:57.624 eight times. 0:07:57.664 --> 0:08:01.424 It's on Netflix's this show that was executive produced by 0:08:01.424 --> 0:08:03.984 Tina Fey, and it's got the best cast at Sarah barrellis, 0:08:04.024 --> 0:08:07.984 Busy Phillips, Paula pelle renee Elise Goldsbury, and it was 0:08:08.024 --> 0:08:11.664 canceled by the like original studio in America who was 0:08:11.744 --> 0:08:13.384 running it, and then Netflix picked it up and they've 0:08:13.384 --> 0:08:15.104 given it this big life that they've done before with 0:08:15.184 --> 0:08:17.864 shows like Shit's Creek, so it came back for season three. 0:08:17.984 --> 0:08:20.264 It's about this girl group who in the nineties had 0:08:20.264 --> 0:08:22.704 this massive hit and then had break up, and that 0:08:22.704 --> 0:08:24.664 it picks up like twenty years later when they're all 0:08:24.704 --> 0:08:26.864 in their forties, where they bring the band Girls five 0:08:26.904 --> 0:08:30.544 Ever back together for another shot at fame. And it's 0:08:30.544 --> 0:08:32.144 got great music and all this stuff. But what I 0:08:32.224 --> 0:08:34.504 really loved about it as I turned on season three 0:08:34.504 --> 0:08:36.304 when I was in one of my various hotel rooms 0:08:36.304 --> 0:08:38.984 traveling for work recently, it was so tired, and I 0:08:39.064 --> 0:08:41.344 turned on Girls for I've Ever and it was like 0:08:41.544 --> 0:08:44.464 this warm hug because it's so rare that you see 0:08:44.504 --> 0:08:47.944 TV shows that are so centered on not just four 0:08:47.984 --> 0:08:51.104 female leads but their friendship, like the warmth of humor, 0:08:51.144 --> 0:08:54.944 the complexities of it. And it just made me so happy, 0:08:55.024 --> 0:08:56.624 and it's not something we see very often. 0:08:57.144 --> 0:08:59.104 It's not I fine, when we go to watch those 0:08:59.104 --> 0:09:01.584 comfort shows, which you are about female friendship, we end 0:09:01.664 --> 0:09:03.984 up going back to shows that are a few years 0:09:04.024 --> 0:09:07.344 old or even decades old, because they're just not getting 0:09:07.424 --> 0:09:10.024 made as much these days. It's despite so many women 0:09:10.064 --> 0:09:12.344 want to watch them, oh one hundred percent. 0:09:12.464 --> 0:09:14.744 Like we've always seen from like you know, data, that 0:09:15.144 --> 0:09:18.544 what stays in trend and what shows become cult classics 0:09:18.624 --> 0:09:21.784 is so often they are centered on female friendship. This 0:09:21.904 --> 0:09:24.424 is going back into like you know, thirty forty years 0:09:24.424 --> 0:09:27.064 ago in TV with shows like Laverne and Shirley. You 0:09:27.104 --> 0:09:28.864 won't live there, neither was I to be Fair that 0:09:29.024 --> 0:09:30.824 was sent on two best friends. But also look at 0:09:30.824 --> 0:09:33.944 Golden Girls and like, what a massive legacy that was 0:09:33.984 --> 0:09:37.304 seen that came out in nineteen eighty five and we're 0:09:37.344 --> 0:09:39.504 still talking about today and we still reference it, like 0:09:39.544 --> 0:09:42.824 that was kind of the original show centered on female friendship. 0:09:43.264 --> 0:09:46.104 And then there's been little bursts over the years, but 0:09:46.384 --> 0:09:50.544 they always kind of never really critically acclaimed. They're always 0:09:50.624 --> 0:09:52.744 seen there's a bit frothy and a bit silly. And 0:09:52.784 --> 0:09:55.264 there's a moment that sticks in my mind a couple 0:09:55.264 --> 0:09:57.744 of years ago when a few different shows came to 0:09:57.784 --> 0:10:00.144 an end and they were the Bold Type and Younger, 0:10:00.624 --> 0:10:01.624 both brilliant shows. 0:10:01.704 --> 0:10:02.944 I loved those teams. 0:10:03.144 --> 0:10:05.264 I love them. I still watch them over and over again. 0:10:05.384 --> 0:10:08.024 Both I'm Younger again, oh my god, watch it again. 0:10:08.184 --> 0:10:10.624 Obviously that was also about work and romance. I told 0:10:10.624 --> 0:10:13.624 her right now, yes, sorry, I said it had female 0:10:13.664 --> 0:10:16.104 friendship at the center. But you had these shows Younger 0:10:16.144 --> 0:10:17.704 and bold type. They came to an end around the 0:10:17.744 --> 0:10:19.904 same time. And as that happened, there were all of 0:10:19.944 --> 0:10:23.984 these cultural think pieces saying, thank god, like we're seeing 0:10:24.024 --> 0:10:26.864 the death of the girl Boss on TV. Thank god, 0:10:26.904 --> 0:10:28.984 these frothy shows are coming to an end, and there 0:10:29.024 --> 0:10:31.744 was like this celebration that this era of television was over. 0:10:32.144 --> 0:10:34.824 And that made me so angry because I want to 0:10:34.864 --> 0:10:37.744 watch shows about women being friends and I want to 0:10:37.784 --> 0:10:42.104 watch these shows where you see friendships treated with equal 0:10:42.304 --> 0:10:46.624 intensity and sensitivity as a romantic relationship. And yes, both 0:10:46.664 --> 0:10:49.064 these shows are a bit frothy and silly at times, 0:10:49.144 --> 0:10:50.944 but that's fine, Like you want to see that. I 0:10:50.944 --> 0:10:53.704 feel like, then shows about female friendship go out of fashion, 0:10:54.024 --> 0:10:55.944 and then we're just left with so many shows where 0:10:55.944 --> 0:10:58.504 we're seeing people being raped and murdered because they can 0:10:58.544 --> 0:11:01.344 be seen as prestige dramas, and so we get to 0:11:01.384 --> 0:11:04.784 watch those, or we're seeing this flood of reality TV 0:11:04.864 --> 0:11:07.344 where you see women screaming each other and fighting and 0:11:07.384 --> 0:11:10.104 having these really dramatic relationships. There's a place for that 0:11:10.184 --> 0:11:12.464 as well, But I just wish there was more of 0:11:12.504 --> 0:11:14.784 a place with female friendship on TV and it wasn't 0:11:14.824 --> 0:11:18.624 seen as frothy, and it wasn't being replaced with women 0:11:18.664 --> 0:11:20.344 being killed, Like I don't want to watch that. I 0:11:20.384 --> 0:11:22.144 want to see women going get coffee together and have 0:11:22.264 --> 0:11:26.464 these complex friendships and have those kind of dynamics on TV. 0:11:27.264 --> 0:11:29.064 The timing of it all as well, it was the 0:11:29.104 --> 0:11:32.344 death of the Girl Boss in general. Everyone was proudly 0:11:32.424 --> 0:11:34.104 saying that we're done with this, We're done. 0:11:33.944 --> 0:11:36.544 With the hustle around, which was such a shame. 0:11:36.624 --> 0:11:40.104 After years of rejecting what like Sophia Russo did with 0:11:40.264 --> 0:11:44.704 Nasty Gal, we were really trying to we were talking 0:11:44.704 --> 0:11:47.824 more about work life balance, So it wasn't just the 0:11:47.904 --> 0:11:49.704 shows that we were rejecting. It was kind of the 0:11:49.744 --> 0:11:52.824 whole idea of The Girl Boss in general. So I 0:11:52.904 --> 0:11:54.904 really do hope that these type of shows do come 0:11:54.944 --> 0:11:57.504 back because we are really missing that. And the thing is, 0:11:57.504 --> 0:11:59.984 if you speak to any of your female friends, most 0:11:59.984 --> 0:12:02.344 of them will say when they're having a bad week 0:12:02.504 --> 0:12:05.024 or they just want to snuggle up and watch something 0:12:05.064 --> 0:12:08.024 that makes them feel good. It'll always be a show 0:12:08.024 --> 0:12:09.224 about female friendships. 0:12:09.384 --> 0:12:11.224 Yeah, that's a very common fitting place for us to 0:12:11.224 --> 0:12:13.504 sit in. And also, as like I've written about so much, 0:12:13.544 --> 0:12:17.504 I know, like you're so aware that finding friends in 0:12:17.544 --> 0:12:21.264 adulthood is such a difficult thing, especially now. And I'm 0:12:21.264 --> 0:12:23.064 not saying I know. I was joking at the top 0:12:23.104 --> 0:12:25.544 about you don't need friends, you can have TV shows. 0:12:25.584 --> 0:12:28.424 It's not completely true, but I think, especially like in 0:12:28.504 --> 0:12:32.264 lonely moments or vulnerable moments, you crave TV shows that 0:12:32.384 --> 0:12:35.464 show you friendship because that's what we're craving in real life. 0:12:35.704 --> 0:12:38.824 Absolutely, and these characters become a part of your world. 0:12:39.264 --> 0:12:42.024 So I thought I would mention two of my favorite 0:12:42.064 --> 0:12:46.824 TV shows about female friendships. And one's not surprising at all. 0:12:46.944 --> 0:12:49.584 It is Sex and the City, and that is because 0:12:49.664 --> 0:12:52.464 it is the show that, really, for so many women 0:12:53.344 --> 0:12:56.184 is the pinnacle of just the female friendship that you want. 0:12:56.504 --> 0:12:58.344 Maybe we could be each other so much. 0:12:59.864 --> 0:13:02.944 And then we could let men be just these great, 0:13:03.144 --> 0:13:04.504 nice guys to have fun with. 0:13:04.744 --> 0:13:06.624 And the funny thing is we were talking about before 0:13:06.624 --> 0:13:08.864 we were recording that a lot of people actually haven't. 0:13:08.624 --> 0:13:10.944 Seen Yes, because I was nearly going to ridicule you 0:13:10.944 --> 0:13:12.984 for bringing that up because it seemed like a kind 0:13:12.984 --> 0:13:14.984 of a sort of basic bitch, but it's like a 0:13:15.024 --> 0:13:17.504 very obvious anta. I am a basic, but as am 0:13:17.544 --> 0:13:20.264 I very proudly. But then there are so many people, 0:13:20.464 --> 0:13:23.264 especially younger women in our office, who when I mentioned 0:13:23.264 --> 0:13:25.384 Sex and the City like never seen it and don't 0:13:25.384 --> 0:13:27.064 desire to see it because they're like, oh, no, that's 0:13:27.064 --> 0:13:29.344 an old show. It's not for me, and it has 0:13:29.424 --> 0:13:32.064 obviously it's aged badly in some parts. But the core 0:13:32.144 --> 0:13:34.704 of it of like female friendships and how those who 0:13:34.704 --> 0:13:37.904 will become your family, I think has really like holds 0:13:37.984 --> 0:13:40.104 up today in a way that so many other TV 0:13:40.144 --> 0:13:40.744 shows don't. 0:13:41.064 --> 0:13:43.984 So just if you haven't watched it, start it. If 0:13:43.984 --> 0:13:45.664 you have, it's all on again. 0:13:46.224 --> 0:13:49.304 All six seasons are on Bitch second recommendation. There are 0:13:49.304 --> 0:13:52.224 only two seasons sadly, but our audience and I think 0:13:52.264 --> 0:13:53.464 all of our office really got into it. 0:13:53.544 --> 0:13:57.144 Firefly Lane on Netflix. You can't go a whole day 0:13:57.344 --> 0:14:00.664 without talking to me. It's too much. I need you 0:14:01.144 --> 0:14:02.184 for my soulmate me. 0:14:02.304 --> 0:14:04.024 Bitch, You're the bitch. 0:14:04.144 --> 0:14:04.504 Bitch. 0:14:04.744 --> 0:14:05.664 It's a comfort show. 0:14:05.824 --> 0:14:08.824 It is about two female friends who meet as young 0:14:08.864 --> 0:14:10.944 girls on Firefly Lane. You just watch them over the 0:14:11.024 --> 0:14:13.424 next thirty years. It's Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalk and 0:14:13.504 --> 0:14:16.464 it just follows them over their trajectory of their lives. 0:14:16.544 --> 0:14:18.144 And yeah, it's a goodie. 0:14:18.184 --> 0:14:20.024 It's a shame it got cancer up for season two, 0:14:20.264 --> 0:14:22.264 but I still recommend watching both of them. 0:14:22.704 --> 0:14:25.944 Well, coming up next, more recommendations on friendship. Oz got 0:14:25.984 --> 0:14:28.264 real wholesome all of a sudden, and then we can 0:14:28.304 --> 0:14:32.304 watch Okay, I feel like this one gets brought up 0:14:32.344 --> 0:14:34.664 more as like an iconic comedy, but for me, it 0:14:34.784 --> 0:14:37.624 is the pinnacle of female friendship on TV. And it's 0:14:37.624 --> 0:14:40.184 a show called broad City. Yes, can watch it on 0:14:40.264 --> 0:14:43.824 stan It's this amazing, very intense comedy. And it's Alana 0:14:43.864 --> 0:14:47.464 Glazier and Abby Jacobson who were best friends and like 0:14:47.504 --> 0:14:50.704 co creators in real life, and they made this web 0:14:50.784 --> 0:14:53.904 series about these two best friends called Abby and Alana 0:14:54.024 --> 0:14:56.584 living New York and all these crazy adventures they go through. 0:14:56.824 --> 0:14:59.224 And it's not the typical best friends living in New York. 0:14:59.264 --> 0:15:01.024 It's very much like you see, kind of like the 0:15:01.104 --> 0:15:02.984 rougher side of it, and like not having any money, 0:15:02.984 --> 0:15:05.024 living in a basic apartment, all that sort of stuff, 0:15:05.304 --> 0:15:08.224 but it is so very funny. And Amy Poehler saw 0:15:08.264 --> 0:15:10.064 their web series and became aware of the show and 0:15:10.144 --> 0:15:12.504 kne as an executive producer and blew it up to 0:15:12.544 --> 0:15:16.664 this big, critically acclaimed comedy series that it turned into. 0:15:16.824 --> 0:15:18.864 And like they go on you know, Weird Dates as 0:15:18.864 --> 0:15:21.984 a very iconic episode about pegging, just like it's so good, 0:15:22.024 --> 0:15:25.024 it's so funny, and they go on these absurdist adventures, 0:15:25.024 --> 0:15:27.144 but the heart of it always is the fact that 0:15:27.184 --> 0:15:29.544 their friendship is the core. So that's on stand. You 0:15:29.544 --> 0:15:31.864 should watch that. And the second one I'm gonna go 0:15:31.944 --> 0:15:33.504 with is Dead to Me on Netflix. 0:15:33.704 --> 0:15:34.784 Oh I love Dead to Me. 0:15:34.864 --> 0:15:37.824 Oh my god, Christy and Applegate, Linda Cardlini. And also 0:15:37.864 --> 0:15:39.584 I love that a lot of these kind of stories 0:15:39.624 --> 0:15:42.064 are childhood best friends and like friends who have been 0:15:42.144 --> 0:15:44.624 like around each other in their early twenties, like Sex 0:15:44.624 --> 0:15:46.984 and the City is very much like that Broad City. 0:15:47.104 --> 0:15:49.104 You know, they're in their twenties and that's how they 0:15:49.224 --> 0:15:51.064 become friends. So I feel like a lot of shows 0:15:51.064 --> 0:15:54.624 centering younger friendship or friendship like Firefight Lane that started 0:15:54.624 --> 0:15:57.144 from childhood, whereas Dead to Me is two in their 0:15:57.184 --> 0:15:59.704 forties they come together over not a spoiler. I feel 0:15:59.704 --> 0:16:01.624 like everyone's sort of across the show now, but you know, 0:16:01.864 --> 0:16:03.984 one HiT's the other one's husband with their car, and 0:16:04.024 --> 0:16:05.744 it's all secret and then it comes out and they 0:16:05.784 --> 0:16:08.384 hide dead bodies together and stuff. But I just love 0:16:08.424 --> 0:16:11.504 that you can find this crazy new friendship in your 0:16:11.544 --> 0:16:14.944 forties and it's so complex between these women and obviously 0:16:14.944 --> 0:16:17.464 this massive secret comes out between them, but it doesn't 0:16:17.504 --> 0:16:19.624 change where their friendship is and they become each other's 0:16:19.664 --> 0:16:23.144 like complete Ride or Die. Christina Applegate and Linda CARDLINI 0:16:23.224 --> 0:16:26.424 are so good in it right together. They really are 0:16:26.464 --> 0:16:30.104 defining performances. So that's on Netflix. I feel like most 0:16:30.104 --> 0:16:31.744 people have watched it, but if you haven't watched it, 0:16:31.824 --> 0:16:33.184 or if you've seen a rewatch, like I think it 0:16:33.224 --> 0:16:35.624 really hords out for sure as a rewatch and like 0:16:35.744 --> 0:16:38.504 more TV shows about female friendship, it's all I want 0:16:38.544 --> 0:16:40.384 to watch and not women getting murdered. 0:16:45.064 --> 0:16:46.224 The weekend Watch. 0:16:47.304 --> 0:16:49.584 Okay, so on to weekend watch, and I have a 0:16:49.624 --> 0:16:51.784 movie that I'm really looking forward to watching. 0:16:51.904 --> 0:16:53.264 So people probably don't know this. 0:16:53.624 --> 0:16:56.224 I love a biopic, huge fan of biopic and they 0:16:56.264 --> 0:16:59.224 twist about you. Yeah, and the more you know, so 0:16:59.384 --> 0:17:02.144 There's a new Netflix biopic that comes out today. 0:17:02.344 --> 0:17:06.504 It's called Shirley. I have something I want to tell you. 0:17:06.864 --> 0:17:11.344 I am running for President of the United States, unpeaving 0:17:11.384 --> 0:17:12.984 the rule for a lot of other people looking like 0:17:13.024 --> 0:17:14.144 me to get elected. 0:17:13.784 --> 0:17:15.904 For broadcast first black representative. 0:17:16.784 --> 0:17:19.344 You sound just like every other politician?

I don't think I'm special. 0:17:29.184 --> 0:17:31.704 I just want to remind people what it's possible. 0:17:32.344 --> 0:17:33.264 You won't do all that. 0:17:33.624 --> 0:17:36.704
