Speaker 1: Hello Sunshine, Hey fam Today on the bright Side, we're
Speaker 1: popping off on the biggest pop culture moments of the
Speaker 1: week and digging into a few age old relationship questions
Speaker 1: like whether your boos should be your best friend and
Speaker 1: what the experts have to say about sharing finances. Plus,
Speaker 1: in honor of their fiftieth anniversary, we're revisiting some of
Speaker 1: Saturday Night Live's most iconic oneliners.
Speaker 2: Sweat a Weather, one cow Bell. It's Friday, February fourteenth.
Speaker 1: I'm Simone Boyce, I'm Danielle Robe and this is the
Speaker 1: bright Side from Hello Sunshine, Hello, Hello, Hello, Happy Friday
Speaker 1: and Happy Valentine's Day to all of our busties. We're
Speaker 1: sending you cupcakes and chocolate and love today. Consider this
Speaker 1: your official reminder that you are truly adored.
Speaker 3: Yes, you deserve love in all its forms.
Speaker 2: Okay, Today we're popping off and talking about the biggest
Speaker 2: pop culture moments of the week, and because love is
Speaker 2: in the air, expect some hot takes. Joining us is
Speaker 2: everyone's favorite showrunner, Emmy Award winning producer and bright Side bestie,
Speaker 2: Tim Palazzola.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, Tim, Hi, Tim, Yay.
Speaker 4: Happy Valentine's Day.
Speaker 5: Everybody, Danielle, I want to I want to thank you
Speaker 5: for those delicious gummy bears that you brought in honor
Speaker 5: Valentine's Day into the office earlier this week.
Speaker 6: That thing says love like her rebos.
Speaker 4: Thank you for that. They are gone, so I will
Speaker 4: be requesting some new ones. Very surely.
Speaker 6: They went Valentine's Day space, They're gone forever.
Speaker 4: To they went very fast.
Speaker 5: I also want to thank both of you because last
Speaker 5: week's popping off you inspired me to do something that
Speaker 5: was a long time in the making, something that I
Speaker 5: should have done much much sooner.
Speaker 6: What are you about to say.
Speaker 4: I washed my sheets?
Speaker 5: Huh?
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. How long has it been the animal?
Speaker 5: I don't know too long based on the conversation had
Speaker 5: last week. It was too long. The sheets, the bedspread, everything.
Speaker 5: So everything was happy for you?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm more happy for Brian.
Speaker 4: Yeah, totally.
Speaker 6: How about your jeans and your pillows.
Speaker 4: Jeans, pillows, everything's been washed.
Speaker 5: And I also was I was stuck on is it
Speaker 5: okay for the dog to sleep in the bed? And
Speaker 5: I did a little research and it turns out the
Speaker 5: experts are mixed. A lot of people say it's really
Speaker 5: great cuddling with dogs releases oxytocin, which is a benefit,
Speaker 5: but they also say they can bring bacteria into your bed.
Speaker 5: So my dog stays in the bed, but I'll be
Speaker 5: continuing to wipe down his paws before he jumps.
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a major turning point. And
Speaker 1: on Valentine's Day, congrats.
Speaker 2: We're changing lives here on the bright side, Yes, we
Speaker 2: did it. It is time to pop off, and in
Speaker 2: honor of Valentine's Day, I would like to start by
Speaker 2: celebrating something we all love. For the first time ever,
Speaker 2: women in leading roles have reached full parody with men
Speaker 2: at the box office.
Speaker 3: This is so huge.
Speaker 2: According to the Center for the Study of Women in
Speaker 2: Film and Television, forty two percent of the year's top
Speaker 2: one hundred grossing films featured women protagonists, and for the
Speaker 2: first year ever, that is the exact same percentage as
Speaker 2: male protagonists. So for anyone wondering why we talk about
Speaker 2: these things so often, why we talk about gender parity
Speaker 2: and representation, this is exactly why. This is the progress
Speaker 2: that we have needed to see. And usc also just
Speaker 2: released some data on women in film. Their Annenberg Inclusion
Speaker 2: Initiative has been studying representation in films since two thousand
Speaker 2: and seven, and this year they actually measured an all
Speaker 2: time high in girls and women as protagonists in the
Speaker 2: biggest films of the year. They found that fifty four
Speaker 2: percent of the highest grossing films of the year had
Speaker 2: a female lead or co lead. And also both studies
Speaker 2: pointed to one of our bright side favorites, The Substance,
Speaker 2: as an especially impactful film for its inclusion of a
Speaker 2: female protagonist who is more mature.
Speaker 5: I wouldn say I am both so incredibly thrilled to
Speaker 5: hear this and incredibly shocked to hear this at the
Speaker 5: same time. Right, I cannot believe it is twenty twenty
Speaker 5: five and we are finally reaching a sense of equality
Speaker 5: for women. But I think beyond the science of it,
Speaker 5: I think anecdotally we're also seeing not just that women
Speaker 5: were a part of films in an equal way, but
Speaker 5: the performances that the women gave this year are extraordinary.
Speaker 4: They're the ones that we have been talking about all year.
Speaker 5: You mentioned The Substance, We cannot stop talking about Ariana
Speaker 5: Grande and Cynthia Reevo, Amy Adams and Knight Bitch, Nicole
Speaker 5: Kidman and Baby Girl.
Speaker 4: The list goes on and on.
Speaker 5: It's not just that women were acting in these films,
Speaker 5: it's also that the roles that they were playing were
Speaker 5: outstanding this year and lucrative.
Speaker 2: They were lucrative films, which is that is the key
Speaker 2: that's been the missing piece. We need people to show
Speaker 2: up for these in the same way that we need
Speaker 2: people to show up for women's sports, because that means
Speaker 2: that we can keep making these projects.
Speaker 6: Well.
Speaker 1: Every time there's a successful female led film or TV show,
Speaker 1: it proves to these studios that success for female led
Speaker 1: shows are undeniable. What's so interesting to me is that
Speaker 1: the majority of moviegoers are women, Like women make up
Speaker 1: the demo. And I took this great class in college.
Speaker 1: It was like a children and TV criticism class, and
Speaker 1: I learned that people identify most with people who look
Speaker 1: like themselves on screen. So, like I remember watching the
Speaker 1: OC growing up, and I loved Rachel Bilson's character, I
Speaker 1: wasn't really Misha Barton fan as much. And I realized,
Speaker 1: oh my god, that's because I look more like Rachel Bilson.
Speaker 1: It's just so it's such a natural instinct. And so
Speaker 1: I bring that up to say that this is really
Speaker 1: important because we consume TV movies so often throughout our
Speaker 1: childhood and what is reflected on screen really impacts how
Speaker 1: we see ourselves and move throughout the world.
Speaker 6: So I can't wait for this to continue to trend upwards.
Speaker 5: Absolutely more women in films and someone what you're saying
Speaker 5: about the power of the box office we think about
Speaker 5: show business, and business is a really.
Speaker 4: Important part of the term show business.
Speaker 5: So when we continue to see women led films dominate
Speaker 5: at the box office from a business decision, we're going
Speaker 5: to see more studios double down on that, and that's
Speaker 5: really where the power is going to be. So I
Speaker 5: encourage everyone, it's Valentine's Day weekend, go see a film that.
Speaker 4: Is led by a female protagonist.
Speaker 5: That's my PSA, that's my Valentine's PSA.
Speaker 1: Well, I have a Valentine'sday question for you, okay, and
Speaker 1: it's sort of this classic relationship debate should your romantic
Speaker 1: partner also be your best friend? Before I get into
Speaker 1: this New York Times article that I read, I just
Speaker 1: want a quick yes or no from each of you.
Speaker 2: I don't do quick yes or nos. My answer are
Speaker 2: okay all the rules. I just think this is like
Speaker 2: I think there's some nuance here. I think sometimes your
Speaker 2: partner should be your best friend sometimes, but you also
Speaker 2: don't want to be roommates, so it's got to be
Speaker 2: somewhere in between.
Speaker 4: That's really interesting. That's really interesting.
Speaker 5: I having been in a relationship for a very long time,
Speaker 5: I know that there are going to be ups and downs,
Speaker 5: and I think at the core of it, friendship is
Speaker 5: really important in that formula.
Speaker 1: So The New York Times tackled this idea, and no surprise, opinions,
Speaker 1: just like yours, we're all over the place. Some psychologists
Speaker 1: say it's a modern idea that can bring couples closer,
Speaker 1: and some say it sets them up for failure. So
Speaker 1: they got some reactions from readers. One woman interviewed said
Speaker 1: she and her husband's friendship is the key to their
Speaker 1: successful relationship, just kind of like what you said, Tim,
Speaker 1: And then another woman gushed about her husband, calling him
Speaker 1: a loving father, a man of integrity and.
Speaker 6: Character, and very much not her best friend.
Speaker 1: So more in line with what you said, Simone, she said,
Speaker 1: I don't have sex with my friends, I don't pay
Speaker 1: bills with my friends, and I guarantee if you did,
Speaker 1: it would change the whole dynamic of the relationship preach.
Speaker 6: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I'm more on Tim's side with this. Any
Speaker 1: like good relationship I've had was rooted in friendship.
Speaker 6: In friendship, but I'm also not married, so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no.
Speaker 5: Well, the thing that I think is interesting about this
Speaker 5: is we think about like best friend versus being someone's everything,
Speaker 5: you know.
Speaker 1: Exactly, Like it's a very modern ideal to want your
Speaker 1: partner to be your emotional support system, your therapist, to
Speaker 1: your co parent.
Speaker 6: You're one and only, and it's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 4: It's a lot of pressure.
Speaker 5: I will say that is the biggest thing that I
Speaker 5: discovered over time in my relationship because I was initially
Speaker 5: the type of person who thought that person needed to
Speaker 5: fill every bucket, to be all of things, and it's
Speaker 5: a really unrealistic expectation to put on someone.
Speaker 6: So this is very personal, But what did you decide
Speaker 6: to outsource?
Speaker 5: I'll be so candid and I love him very very much,
Speaker 5: but you know, Brian is not the emotional support. There
Speaker 5: are a lot of fundamental things that we get from
Speaker 5: the relationship and we've built a very beautiful life together.
Speaker 5: But I if I need emotional support or I need
Speaker 5: to talk about feelings. I outsource that to other people, yes,
Speaker 5: And it was a really challenging thing for a while
Speaker 5: because I was like, I need you to understand where
Speaker 5: I'm coming from, and he just doesn't have that capacity.
Speaker 5: And so I was getting really frustrated for a really
Speaker 5: long time, and I was just like, you know what,
Speaker 5: he's got his strengths. I have my strengths, and sometimes
Speaker 5: I'll just outsource it. He doesn't have to he doesn't
Speaker 5: have to be all of those things. I can get
Speaker 5: that from so many other people in my life. He
Speaker 5: doesn't have to be the one to provide that for
Speaker 5: me as well.
Speaker 1: So I dated somebody who was I think there's different
Speaker 1: types of smarts or intellectualism. And I met this person
Speaker 1: who knew how to build everything, like they could walk
Speaker 1: into a room and tell you how the lights were made.
Speaker 1: And that was like they're so smart, but they weren't
Speaker 1: intellectual in the sense that I was used to, which
Speaker 1: is like reading books or talking about politics or articles.
Speaker 1: And I remember going to my dad because I really
Speaker 1: liked him, and I went to my dad and I
Speaker 1: was like, how do you decide what you need versus
Speaker 1: what you want? Because sure my mom is a very
Speaker 1: smart person. She's a CPA, Like she's really smart, but
Speaker 1: she's not really having a conversation with my dad about politics.
Speaker 1: And my dad is so politically inclined, and he was like,
Speaker 1: what do you think I need to discuss politics with
Speaker 1: your mother?
Speaker 4: For?
Speaker 1: Like I could just go read myself or talk to
Speaker 1: a friend. You can't have everything in one person. But
Speaker 1: I struggle with determining what I need from a partner
Speaker 1: versus what I want.
Speaker 4: That is the ultimate, the ultimate question.
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's a perfect sort of mathematical.
Speaker 6: Equation to it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's something about thinking about a relationship as just alchemy.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 5: You're all putting like a little bit in and you
Speaker 5: sort of like make a recipe together, and sometimes it's like,
Speaker 5: you know what, I put a little bit more salt
Speaker 5: in there, and sometimes he puts a little bit more
Speaker 5: partially in there. But hopefully together we have all the
Speaker 5: ingredients to make the things. And that's just how it goes.
Speaker 5: There's no such thing as the perfect person, and I
Speaker 5: think once we all let go of thinking that there
Speaker 5: is a perfect person. There was something that one of
Speaker 5: our experts said this week about choice thinking about a
Speaker 5: relationship as a choice, and I think about that stuck
Speaker 5: with me from this week because I remember very early on,
Speaker 5: this was probably ten or eleven years ago. I went
Speaker 5: to visit Brian's family for the first time. We had
Speaker 5: been dating for about seven months. It was a fourth
Speaker 5: of July. It was this beauty. His hometown is in Massachusetts,
Speaker 5: right on the coast, and it's really lovely and I
Speaker 5: had the most amazing time. And at the end, he said,
Speaker 5: now that you love my family and my family loves you,
Speaker 5: you're stuck with me. Mmm, You're stuck with me? And
Speaker 5: I was like, no, I'm not stuck with you. I
Speaker 5: choose to.
Speaker 4: Be with you.
Speaker 3: Yow.
Speaker 4: And he, honestly at the time, was really really offended
Speaker 4: by that.
Speaker 5: But I said, no, that is the most beautiful thing
Speaker 5: I can possibly say, because I don't feel trapped. It
Speaker 5: is me saying that I want to be a part
Speaker 5: of your life and this life that we're creating together.
Speaker 4: And I think about that a lot.
Speaker 6: Did he understand where you were coming from?
Speaker 5: He understood after the fact because he initially thought I
Speaker 5: was rejecting. He thought he was saying something nice and
Speaker 5: I was disregarding him. But I think he Yeah, he
Speaker 5: ultimately understood, and I think that that is really That's
Speaker 5: really the thing you have to continue to do over
Speaker 5: and over is think about I want to make this choice,
Speaker 5: and over time you realize you're going to have to
Speaker 5: continue to make different choices over the lifespan of a
Speaker 5: relationship too.
Speaker 6: That's a good point, you know.
Speaker 1: Esther Perell, who I think is so brilliant in talking
Speaker 1: about relationships, says that most people are going to have
Speaker 1: two or three marriages over the course of their lifetime,
Speaker 1: and it's up to you if those relationships are with
Speaker 1: the same personably.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because our lifespan used to be like thirty five
Speaker 2: years old, so I think that makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 6: Yeah, people also used to get married for ghosts.
Speaker 3: Simon, you've been really quiet, h No, I've just been listening.
Speaker 3: I've just been listening.
Speaker 2: I think that friendship is an important component to a relationship,
Speaker 2: but I don't think that it can be all of it,
Speaker 2: because if you think about like your friendships, friendships evolve, right,
Speaker 2: and sometimes we break up with friends because our lifestyles
Speaker 2: don't align or our values don't align anymore. And that
Speaker 2: is going to happen in a long term relationship too.
Speaker 2: You're going to change and you're going to evolve, so
Speaker 2: there has to be some sort of glue other than
Speaker 2: just the friendship. I think what's really important, and what
Speaker 2: I'm finding even more important is I am approaching fifteen
Speaker 2: years of marriage, is what do we want out of life?
Speaker 3: How do we want our lives to look?
Speaker 2: And I think friendship is about like living life alongside
Speaker 2: each other, but a long term relationship is about building
Speaker 2: a life together. And I also think if friendship is
Speaker 2: the glue that's holding your marriage together, I think your
Speaker 2: world is going to get rocked when you have kids
Speaker 2: because the duties and responsibilities of co parenting will completely
Speaker 2: overwhelm your relationship. And it's so easy to slip into
Speaker 2: roommate status, which has happened to us, where you're just
Speaker 2: ships in the night. You're both so busy, you're both
Speaker 2: sleep deprived, and you're not finding that time for connection
Speaker 2: and intimacy. So I think it's going to be friendship
Speaker 2: plus intimacy plus shared values.
Speaker 5: Values. You said the word values. That's the thing that
Speaker 5: resonates with me the most because we all go through
Speaker 5: different things in life that are independent of their relationship
Speaker 5: we have. Sometimes we do really well at work, sometimes
Speaker 5: you don't. Sometimes we have family stuff. Sometimes we're feeling fit,
Speaker 5: sometimes we're not feeling fit. But it really is the
Speaker 5: values that keep you together.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're going to take a quick break from popping Off,
Speaker 1: but we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: We're back to popping off with Tim Pellazola. Okay, now
Speaker 2: that we've discussed how we feel about love and friendships,
Speaker 2: I'm curious how you both feel about love and money,
Speaker 2: specifically splitting your finances with your loved ones. Do either
Speaker 2: of you have an overriding philosophy.
Speaker 1: About this, So I think it really depends on your
Speaker 1: personal philosophy around relationships and money, because all of the
Speaker 1: studies and statistics show, particularly if you have kids, that
Speaker 1: financially it is a better decision to have shared accounts.
Speaker 1: But money is not just a financial decision. Money is
Speaker 1: an emotional decision. And so if you are craving a
Speaker 1: certain amount of independence or your relationship requires that the
Speaker 1: margin of difference is not so big that it makes
Speaker 1: a huge difference. If that could be your independence and
Speaker 1: that peace of mind could be worth more to you.
Speaker 5: I couldn't agree more with that. We do not combine
Speaker 5: our finances. And honestly, it's the thing that we argue
Speaker 5: about the most, and I think it has to do
Speaker 5: with our relationship with money in particular.
Speaker 4: I tend to be someone who likes to save.
Speaker 5: I'm very prudent with my money and the financial decisions
Speaker 5: that I've made. I know have worked very hard for things,
Speaker 5: and he is a little bit more let's spend it,
Speaker 5: Let's let's go out and have fun, or we go
Speaker 5: to the amount of Beyonce concert t shirts that we
Speaker 5: have in our home. I'm like, you need another Beyonce
Speaker 5: concert t shirt every time we go to a concert,
Speaker 5: and it bothers me so much, and it's not my money.
Speaker 5: I had to get to a place where it's not
Speaker 5: my money. You spend your money however you want, and
Speaker 5: I will spend my money how I want. And keeping
Speaker 5: it a little church and state has just helped us
Speaker 5: not fight as much about things.
Speaker 6: Do you do a monthly meeting about money?
Speaker 5: We don't do a monthly meeting. We we have discussions
Speaker 5: about money. And we obviously are you know, contributing to
Speaker 5: our general finances together. You know, we we pay you know,
Speaker 5: obviously we pay for the house and you know, we
Speaker 5: do all that. So we figured out what the right
Speaker 5: amount that we're each contributing makes sense. And and once
Speaker 5: we aligned on what that was going to be each month,
Speaker 5: then it became you do what you want, and I'll.
Speaker 4: Do it what I want. And then I don't. I don't.
Speaker 4: I don't have any opinions anymore.
Speaker 1: Like it's not what happens like for big for big things.
Speaker 1: This is where I think it gets confusing when you
Speaker 1: go when you take a big trip, if like, do
Speaker 1: you split it as a percentage? Does one person pay
Speaker 1: for all of it? And then if you say you're
Speaker 1: paying for the trip to Tim and Brian goes out
Speaker 1: and buys like some really expensive blazer and you're like,
Speaker 1: what in the world.
Speaker 6: He could have just contributed to this trip.
Speaker 3: Didn't that just happens?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it did happen. Something like that happens all the time.
Speaker 5: It gets dicey. So a lot of what we have
Speaker 5: come to with our philosophy is like with specific regards
Speaker 5: to a trip, like you mentioned, we will both have
Speaker 5: an idea of what things are going to cost, and
Speaker 5: we're going to agree on what is a fair amount
Speaker 5: for each of us to contribute to that, and once
Speaker 5: we agree on what that fair amount is, I just
Speaker 5: sort of let it go. So as long as as
Speaker 5: long as he is fulfilling what I think, what we
Speaker 5: have agreed upon, then what he's what he does with
Speaker 5: his money is his own business.
Speaker 1: Well this is interesting too, because depending on when you meet,
Speaker 1: I think it really affects this decision. Like, if you
Speaker 1: meet like Simone, you and your husband met so young,
Speaker 1: I don't want to assume what you do, but I'm
Speaker 1: guessing you guys probably built your life together, versus if
Speaker 1: I meet somebody now, like, I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: so it's so dependent on the situation.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I want to combine everything. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that's a good point. We shared our finances
Speaker 2: from the beginning, but I feel very strongly I actually
Speaker 2: don't think that you should have all your finances pulled together.
Speaker 2: I think you should always have some of your own money.
Speaker 2: And so what we're doing now, which I think is
Speaker 2: a great solution, is.
Speaker 6: We call that a push gi.
Speaker 1: They say that women are they say women are always
Speaker 1: supposed to have a little push gi, like a little yeah,
Speaker 1: like little thing on the side.
Speaker 2: Well, I think that's culturally that that applies to a
Speaker 2: lot of different communities too. I think a lot of
Speaker 2: people have that philosophy. So now we have a shared account,
Speaker 2: but all my money from my business comes into my
Speaker 2: own account, and then I add it into the show account.
Speaker 2: And I just think this is the best of both worlds.
Speaker 2: Like I'm able to make my own investments. I'm a
Speaker 2: bit riskier in that department, like Michael's not going to
Speaker 2: take as many risks as I am. But I felt
Speaker 2: I felt hamstrung by that for a long time because
Speaker 2: I felt like I had to make money moves that
Speaker 2: we both agreed with, and it left me feeling a
Speaker 2: bit powerless, you know. And so now I feel so
Speaker 2: empowered that we are growing and building our wealth as
Speaker 2: a family, which is so cool and so exciting, and
Speaker 2: then I also am growing my own wealth.
Speaker 3: It's the best of both worlds.
Speaker 5: I love hearing that I have a friend. She and
Speaker 5: her husband each contribute to a joint account. They each
Speaker 5: put the same amount in each month, and then that's
Speaker 5: the money that they use for, you know, their common
Speaker 5: life expenses. You know, if the water, heat of breaks
Speaker 5: they take from that. If they're going to take a
Speaker 5: vacation they take from that, but then they also have
Speaker 5: their own separate things, and I think that's probably a
Speaker 5: really smart thing to do, like to be transparent.
Speaker 2: We haven't always been able to have our own separate
Speaker 2: counts and then one joint account depending on where we're
Speaker 2: at in our careers. Like there have been times when
Speaker 2: I've been the bread winner and there have been times
Speaker 2: when Michael has been the bread winner. And I think
Speaker 2: that that is the beauty of marriage of the institution
Speaker 2: is having that safety net. It's time for another short break,
Speaker 2: but we'll be right back with Tim Pallasola, and we're
Speaker 2: back with Tim Pallasola.
Speaker 1: Well, a Valentine's Day gift to all of us is
Speaker 1: that Saturday Night Live is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this Sunday.
Speaker 1: So the list of a listers was just announced, and
Speaker 1: you know it's going to be a deep list. Tina Fey,
Speaker 1: Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler. So many people are
Speaker 1: joining to celebrate this epic night. We're used to shows
Speaker 1: that sometimes after two or three seasons. SNL is one
Speaker 1: of the longest running network broadcast shows of all time,
Speaker 1: nearly a thousand episodes since it began decades ago, and
Speaker 1: throughout this time they've been part of, if not leading,
Speaker 1: the cultural Zeite guys, we've been introduced to so many
Speaker 1: catchphrases and jokes that end up in our day to
Speaker 1: day conversations. So in honor of the anniversary, the New
Speaker 1: York Times published an article called fifty Things We Say
Speaker 1: Now thanks to SNL. So I want to pick a
Speaker 1: few of them, and I know you guys are both
Speaker 1: comedy fans. I want to see if you can figure
Speaker 1: out who performed them and what sketch I'm talking about.
Speaker 4: Oh my, well, I love this, Yeah, yeah, yeah, this
Speaker 4: is great.
Speaker 6: Okay.
Speaker 1: I also want to give you a fair warning that
Speaker 1: I do bad impressions.
Speaker 6: So I will not be impersonating these people.
Speaker 3: No, please, bad impressions welcome.
Speaker 4: Yes.
Speaker 1: The first one is we are too wild and crazy, guys.
Speaker 4: Oh my god, that's like vintage, right.
Speaker 6: Who do you think performed it?
Speaker 5: I'm pretty certain Steve Martin was involved, and there's someone
Speaker 5: else and I don't know. I don't know who the
Speaker 5: other person is, Simone.
Speaker 4: Do you know this one?
Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna get this wrong. This isn't Hans
Speaker 2: and Franz.
Speaker 4: Right, No, that was a pomp.
Speaker 1: You up.
Speaker 5: Okay, Okay, yeah, this was from the seventies. This is
Speaker 5: like Steve, This is like og this is Steve Martin.
Speaker 5: And they were always wearing these like leisure suits. They
Speaker 5: would come in with like polyester.
Speaker 3: Okay, I think Tim's right. I'm gonna go with Tim's answer.
Speaker 5: Danielle, do you know off the top of your head,
Speaker 5: I know we don't have just so everyone knows at home,
Speaker 5: we don't have the answers in front of us. Our
Speaker 5: producer Amy is going to reveal them for us, so
Speaker 5: it's not in front of us.
Speaker 4: Do you know who it is?
Speaker 6: I have no idea. Okay, now that I am.
Speaker 1: Seeing the answer, you were right, Tim, It was Steve
