Speaker 1: This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 1: Chris Harrison and Lauren z Ma Comedy from the home
Speaker 1: office in Austin, Texas. It has been a minute, everybody
Speaker 1: since Elsie and I have sat down together. Why what's why? Okay,
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like I see you every day,
Speaker 1: and well.
Speaker 2: Maybe we've been spending so much time together that we
Speaker 2: haven't potted to.
Speaker 1: We had a bunch of great guests from Doctor Drew too.
Speaker 1: We did a Father's Day with a couple of great
Speaker 1: actually a few great dads from The Bachelor on the
Speaker 1: Bachelor World and Ryan Sutter and Bob Guiney and JP Rosenbaum.
Speaker 1: It was great to catch up with those boys. So
Speaker 1: we've just been on a heater of great guests, so
Speaker 1: it's been a second to jump back into the headlines.
Speaker 2: Ryan and Trista so not splitting up.
Speaker 1: Nothing's wrong, everybody's alive, everybody's one hundred healthy, and they
Speaker 1: are one hundred percent together. Okay. It's funny that people
Speaker 1: like I don't know why people freaked out if you
Speaker 1: know Ryan and all, and if you're going to freak out,
Speaker 1: clearly you do know Ryan. He is a very poetic guy.
Speaker 1: He's a real renaissance man because he's the best athlete
Speaker 1: you're ever going to meet. He's a manly man. You
Speaker 1: could leave him on a mountain and he will, you know,
Speaker 1: kill a bear with his bare hands and live and
Speaker 1: he's fine, and then he's going to sit down and
Speaker 1: write poetry about it. That's right.
Speaker 2: He's like an old world kind of guy.
Speaker 1: He has a very old world guy, but he's he's
Speaker 1: you know, he's one of our founding fathers. He is
Speaker 1: the Bachelor. I'm the declaration of independence of the Bachelor.
Speaker 1: But he is that kind of guy. So he just
Speaker 1: sometimes he he I'll be honest, he notes his emotions.
Speaker 2: When I read those his Instagram, I thought something was wrong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just thought it's Ryan being right.
Speaker 2: Yes, don't. I've actually never met Ryan.
Speaker 1: I told him, I said, look, were you a little heavy?
Speaker 1: You're a little melodramatic with that one. Yeah, he was dripping,
Speaker 1: but it's that's right, all right.
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk about some other by the way.
Speaker 1: Good good that they're everybody's all well, and happy Father's
Speaker 1: Day to those guys. And it was good to have
Speaker 1: him on. Let's get into some headlines.
Speaker 2: So I want to start with talking about a different
Speaker 2: father who's dating someone who not only could be his daughter,
Speaker 2: but could be his granddaughter.
Speaker 1: Honestly, bro probably his great grandfather good great great granddaughter.
Speaker 2: I don't think we're quite there on the not that
Speaker 2: I know my math, but regardless, it's disturbing to me. Listen.
Speaker 2: I don't usually dip my tone to the sports world,
Speaker 2: but this headline caught my eye. The former coach correct
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong, Babe of the New England Patriots
Speaker 2: rushing it well, thank you, Bill Belichick. The man is
Speaker 2: seventy two years old, and it has come out that
Speaker 2: he is dating a twenty four year old. And not
Speaker 2: only that, but they seem to have started dating a
Speaker 2: bit ago when she was still in college, because they
Speaker 2: met on an airplane and what they got talking about
Speaker 2: was one of her school papers.
Speaker 1: So they were talking about her homework.
Speaker 2: Listen, you and I have talked about age gap relationships before,
Speaker 2: we are about sixteen years apart, but oh my god,
Speaker 2: seventy two and twenty four. I saw one tweet the
Speaker 2: guy goes, imagine if your dad and your daughter brings
Speaker 2: home her new boyfriend and it's she's a cheerleader. By
Speaker 2: the way, he goes your college cheerleader daughter brings home
Speaker 2: her new boyfriend and it's Bill Belichick. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 2: this is alarming to me. This would be like if
Speaker 2: our daughter Taylor was dating someone who's your grandfather's age.
Speaker 2: That's what this is. There's no excuses on this one.
Speaker 2: There isn't.
Speaker 1: So the age gap thing is interesting. You and I
Speaker 1: have talked about it, and when you were a grown
Speaker 1: man and a grown woman in your thirties, forties, whatever,
Speaker 1: and that is something entirely different to a young girl
Speaker 1: that is in college and they met on an airplane
Speaker 1: and literally started talking about her homework, formed a relationship
Speaker 1: and have kept in touch. And forty eight year age
Speaker 1: gap and he's in his seventies.
Speaker 2: He's retired, and she doesn't even have a job yet.
Speaker 1: And I thought, So, I was thinking about this on
Speaker 1: the way back and forth to the gym today and
Speaker 1: because I get fired up about it, because I think
Speaker 1: it's really effed up, I mean really effed up. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, Okay, what's my perspective is it? Because I
Speaker 1: do have perspective of being a dad and having kids
Speaker 1: that were teenagers now young adults, so I have that perspective,
Speaker 1: or is it like, are other people out there thinking, hey, man,
Speaker 1: good on you, that's great al Pacino and DeNiro and
Speaker 1: having babies in your nineties and and Bill Belichick having
Speaker 1: a twenty something year old girlfriend, good for you. Are
Speaker 1: there people like that? Is it just because we have
Speaker 1: the perspective of having kids and young adults this age Well.
Speaker 2: I think that how having kids older conversation is different
Speaker 2: than the age gap conversation because I think Robert DeNiro's
Speaker 2: girlfriend's like well into her forties. To me, it's funny.
Speaker 2: I was also thinking about this on the way to
Speaker 2: pilates and backs. You and I are both all fired
Speaker 2: up back from our workouts on this, But like, I
Speaker 2: think we immediately kind of go to this because there's
Speaker 2: a little bit of an age gap for us, and
Speaker 2: so we probably I think, and yes, we have kids
Speaker 2: who are now like potentially dating people in serious ways
Speaker 2: and we feel protective of them. But I think we've
Speaker 2: just thought about it a lot, because we thought about
Speaker 2: it as we entered into our relationship. And I actually,
Speaker 2: as I was comprehending, realized I have a couple sort
Speaker 2: of guidelines on this that I've come up with and
Speaker 2: maybe people will disagree, but here they are. Okay, if
Speaker 2: you're doing an age gap thing, one nobody can be
Speaker 2: in their early twenties. Your brain is literally not developed.
Speaker 2: As the wonderful doctor Amen, who did a great episode
Speaker 2: with us said, your brain isn't fully developed till you're
Speaker 2: twenty five twenty six years old. So you shouldn't be
Speaker 2: dating anyone older than you whose brain is good to
Speaker 2: go when your frontal lobe isn't even making decisions yet. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so nobody should be in their early twenties.
Speaker 1: Agreed in some of these relationships. By the way, let's
Speaker 1: dip down further. We know people that they're in their
Speaker 1: teens and they're you know, eighteen, nineteen years old, like
Speaker 1: it's the oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I was watching ninety Day Fiance the other day and
Speaker 2: a thirty year old is dating a nineteen year old
Speaker 2: and they were getting in a fight and he goes,
Speaker 2: you're acting like a teenager, and I'm like, dude, she
Speaker 2: is a teenager.
Speaker 1: Like what someone? No one should be in the early twenties.
Speaker 1: Little deep dive on some of these other celebrities. I'm
Speaker 1: not going to start naming names, but that it's very
Speaker 1: interesting when they officially start dating when they're eighteen or nineteen,
Speaker 1: but they met earlier. But oh, we didn't start dating.
Speaker 1: As if that's better, as if that makes it okay.
Speaker 2: Wasn't it? There was like some rumor that Anthony Keatis
Speaker 2: from the Red Hot Chili Peppers is like dating a
Speaker 2: nineteen year old. He's sixty one. You can't even have
Speaker 2: a glass of wine together. Like, what are they doing?
Speaker 1: What is the related bill? What are you relating me?
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What are you relating to?
Speaker 1: And by the way, well, where is this going to go?
Speaker 1: Where's this going for this young girl who's just starting
Speaker 1: her life, just got out of college, getting her first job.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a mentor, if you want
Speaker 1: to be a father figure, if you want to try
Speaker 1: and help her out, wonderful, But what in the f
Speaker 1: is going on with a relationship?
Speaker 2: I actually had I not to get too serious. It
Speaker 2: wasn't overly traumatizing. But when I first moved to La
Speaker 2: there was this man who probably was in his seventies
Speaker 2: at the time and one of my dad's friends. He
Speaker 2: was a friend of my dad's friend, and obviously my
Speaker 2: dad's dead. So this guy was like, listen, I know
Speaker 2: you're moving to LA. Like, get in touch with my
Speaker 2: friend out there and he'll kind of look out for you.
Speaker 2: And you know, just somebody to grab breakfast with and
Speaker 2: whatever if you need anything. I like grabbed breakfast with
Speaker 2: them a couple of times. And then he was dropping
Speaker 2: me off where I was living with my roommates, and
Speaker 2: he tried to kiss me in the car and he
Speaker 2: was in his seventies. It was shocking. And it's weird
Speaker 2: because you sort of as a woman, you I don't know,
Speaker 2: you you look at someone who's old enough to be
Speaker 2: your grandfather, and you don't think that that's anywhere in
Speaker 2: their mind. I think one, nobody can be in their
Speaker 2: early twenties or late teens, as you pointed out two.
Speaker 2: I don't think the age gap can be so big
Speaker 2: that the person could have been like, well into adulthood
Speaker 2: and been your parent. Do you know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2: A hundred percent, Like you can't be like, you can't
Speaker 2: be get into thirty something forty something years. It's just
Speaker 2: too big of a life place difference.
Speaker 1: What I wonder, too, is what is in this for
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick or someone like him if you and because
Speaker 1: I look at people even in their forties or fifties
Speaker 1: that start dating someone in their young twenties, what does
Speaker 1: that say about you? What are you deficient in that
Speaker 1: you are looking for a child, a young child, because
Speaker 1: in your young twenties you're still a child. When you're twenty,
Speaker 1: you can't even drink yet.
Speaker 2: I mean, it could be like midlife or late life crisis, right,
Speaker 2: it could be that someone. I think sometimes people who
Speaker 2: are incredibly successful in one arena might be narcissistic. Might
Speaker 2: be that they never developed emotionally in maturity wise, like
Speaker 2: in their personal side. They they really went hard on
Speaker 2: their professional side.
Speaker 1: Mommy, your daddy issues, attachment issues.
Speaker 2: Like you see a lot of that, you know. They
Speaker 2: call it peter Pan syndrome in LA where you have
Speaker 2: these men who might be financially successful but never grew
Speaker 2: up and never like worked on themselves on their human side,
Speaker 2: and so then like their maturity is a lot younger
Speaker 2: than it should be, and that's why they date younger.
Speaker 2: And I'm not justifying it.
Speaker 1: It's not a good thing, but this one just really
Speaker 1: stuck to both of us, and it's funny. It's stuck.
Speaker 1: We both have been thinking about this a lot, and
Speaker 1: just this because again I think because this weekend our
Speaker 1: kids were here, and just.
Speaker 2: You know what blew my mind? What I put myself
Speaker 2: in this girl's shoes. They met on an airplane. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: if I and I'm in my mid thirties, I'm over
Speaker 2: ten years older than her. But in my mid thirties,
Speaker 2: if I sat next to a guy in his early
Speaker 2: seventies on a plane and we just chatted, no part
Speaker 2: of me would think that was going to a flirtatious place.
Speaker 2: I'd be like, Oh, I spoke to this nice elderly
Speaker 2: man on the plane.
Speaker 1: I helped them off the plane. I got a miss
Speaker 1: prune juice.
Speaker 2: Like like you said, it's your dad's age. Like it's like,
Speaker 2: it's that's my husband's father's age. Like No, it's so
Speaker 2: bizarre that that it got to this place.
Speaker 1: And I wonder what her background is, what her parental
Speaker 1: situation is, Did she have strong, loving parents all of that.
Speaker 1: If you're sitting on a plane, even now me, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm in my fifties, if I'm sitting next to someone
Speaker 1: in their mid to late seventies, I noticed that that's
Speaker 1: a that's a start difference.
Speaker 2: They buy my rules, that would only be like twenty
Speaker 2: is years for you. That'd be a little pushing of it.
Speaker 1: You could date no, but I just mean that it's
Speaker 1: almost like it's just this why to divide if something
Speaker 1: in there someone in their seventies, it really is well,
Speaker 1: it just.
Speaker 2: Starts to get a little weird. I think when like
Speaker 2: you're getting to someone who could who is your parents' age. Like,
Speaker 2: and I'm not saying like some of those really relationships work,
Speaker 2: but like when it's someone who could have who would
Speaker 2: have been because you're you knows unless you had teen parents,
Speaker 2: but if your parents were into adulthood when they had you,
Speaker 2: and then you're stating someone who's your parents' age, there's
Speaker 2: I think it gets a little Okay, let's double check
Speaker 2: ourselves here. Let's move on to another sports headline that
Speaker 2: I didn't think I was going to care about.
Speaker 1: Oh what the us open you about this all day? Uh?
Speaker 2: I'm you're friendly with Bryson. I've met him once. He's
Speaker 2: such a sweetheart. How did you feel watching You were
Speaker 2: being very emotional watching.
Speaker 1: And and a huge shout out to his entire team,
Speaker 1: including his agent, Brett Falkoff, who is a very good
Speaker 1: friend of ours, very excited. I'm so proud of him.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited for the person, the man who he
Speaker 1: is really evolved into. And this kind of goes back
Speaker 1: to what we were just talking about with Bill Belichick
Speaker 1: and this young girl Bryson to Shambeau exploded onto the
Speaker 1: scene as young man, and everybody expected him to be
Speaker 1: something that he wasn't. To be polished, to be perfect,
Speaker 1: to fit this mold, to say the right things and
Speaker 1: do the right things. He had to grow up. He
Speaker 1: had to grow into the man he is now. And
Speaker 1: what he is now is very popular, maybe the most
Speaker 1: popular golfer in the world because of he has honed
Speaker 1: his image and really crafted this message of who he
Speaker 1: wants to be. And that's a I'm listening to these people,
Speaker 1: you know, these pundits talk on the sports radio this
Speaker 1: morning and they're ripping on Rory for choking and all.
Speaker 1: It's like, Man, Rory macelroy, my heart goes out to him.
Speaker 1: If you didn't watch the US Open, he missed a
Speaker 1: couple short puts. There was the one on eighteen. I
Speaker 1: forgive him. That was a diabolical little four footer. That
Speaker 1: was breaking like crazy, so sports talk people, but just
Speaker 1: let's forgive them that. But and the one earlier was
Speaker 1: like inside three feet he had made almost five hundred
Speaker 1: in a row inside that range.
Speaker 2: Okay, ladies, if you want, take what he just said,
Speaker 2: memorize it, and go say that to your husband who
Speaker 2: plays golf.
Speaker 1: It's funny when people like the average sports guy's like,
Speaker 1: oh god, I could have made that putt. Well, yeah
Speaker 1: you could. You could walk out today on a Monday
Speaker 1: or Tuesday, go out here, you little municipal, and hit
Speaker 1: a putt. You don't have a care in the world. Now,
Speaker 1: try to imagine, which you can't. This is why it's hard.
Speaker 1: Millions of dollars on the line, millions of people watching cameras, pressure, fans, exhaustion.
Speaker 1: As you've grinded through this, the pressure of that moment,
Speaker 1: it is remarkable. You can even take the putter back.
Speaker 1: I have had just glimpses of this as I've been
Speaker 1: able to play in some of these pro ams and
Speaker 1: on these big stages with some of these guys. It
Speaker 1: is incredible what pressure does to you. As they say,
Speaker 1: pressure burst pipes. And it's so true, and it's funny
Speaker 1: with people like, Oh, I could have done that, I
Speaker 1: could have made that free throw. No, you couldn't.
Speaker 2: That's a really good point. It's a really good point
Speaker 2: because I think like in our business, one thing we
Speaker 2: always say is that the greats make it look easy. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And it's kind of that same thing of you know,
Speaker 2: I mean, even you like doing those doing the live shows.
Speaker 2: You know, it's like you're making it look so easy
Speaker 2: and people don't know about the million other factors, Like
Speaker 2: you're on live TV in front of millions, You've got
Speaker 2: someone in your ear, you're trying to get certain emotional
Speaker 2: things out of people, You're talking about tough topics, Like
Speaker 2: there's so many added factors versus just you're having a conversation.
Speaker 2: And so I see what you're saying here.
Speaker 1: And the great ones rise to the occasion when the
Speaker 1: moment presents itself. But guess what, Michael Jordan didn't do that,
Speaker 1: he didn't and then he did, and then he was
Speaker 1: the greatest ever. Any great Tiger Woods you name him,
Speaker 1: Serena Williams. All the people we love in a door
Speaker 1: have had moments of failure where they just didn't rise
Speaker 1: to the occasion. But then they learn to conquer that moment.
Speaker 1: It's part of becoming great. Tom Brady go down the line,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. They will all tell you about failures
Speaker 1: that they sustained growing up and getting better. And Bryson
Speaker 1: had those moments. Everybody has those moments, and it sucks
Speaker 1: when the lights are the brightest when you fall short.
Speaker 1: But that's that's what makes sports so great, It's what
Speaker 1: makes theater great. It was when you are competing, and
Speaker 1: I would say what we do on live TV, sometimes
Speaker 1: it's competition. You are competing to be great in that moment.
Speaker 2: Sometimes I wish I could tell my younger self failure
Speaker 2: is just as important as success, and obviously try to succeed,
Speaker 2: but those failures that's where you learn how to succeed,
Speaker 2: and you know to shift that mindset. I told the
Speaker 2: kids this recently, like, look at the failures as important,
Speaker 2: be grateful that they happened, even though it feels like
Speaker 2: they suck in the moment. Because also so many failures
Speaker 2: I had along the way, like lead me to the
Speaker 2: success because it set me on this different path that
Speaker 2: ended up being important. But yeah, I mean, look I
Speaker 2: don't I don't always want the golf with you. But
Speaker 2: I like the big ones because I like when sports
Speaker 2: gets emotional, and I like those types of stories, the
Speaker 2: rising above or you know, the personal stories. And one
Speaker 2: thing that stuck out to me so much about Bryson,
Speaker 2: and even having met him, I didn't know this was
Speaker 2: that he lost his dad a few years ago. So
Speaker 2: I thought it was really beautiful because it was Father's Day,
Speaker 2: and I posted a little on Instagram about like, I
Speaker 2: just really try to make people feel seen a little bit,
Speaker 2: like it's so great to celebrate the great dads, but
Speaker 2: it's also like, let's celebrate, you know, the father figures
Speaker 2: in our lives who don't necessarily have that title of dad,
Speaker 2: or let's celebrate the ones who are gone, or you know,
Speaker 2: let's look out for people who maybe your dad sucks
Speaker 2: so you never had a dad. But so I loved
Speaker 2: that Bryson kind of took that moment when he wanted
Speaker 2: to speak a little bit about his dad who passed,
Speaker 2: because a moment like that always helps with normalizing the
Speaker 2: grief conversation.
Speaker 1: It was kind of sweet. Actually. The last two years,
Speaker 1: Wyndham Clark, who was also a friend, spoke a lot
Speaker 1: about getting over the death of his mom mentally and
Speaker 1: emotionally and working with a professional of how to deal
Speaker 1: with this loss and then how to change that energy
Speaker 1: and change that emotion and make it positive. And then
Speaker 1: he went on to win the US Open and spoke
Speaker 1: very eloquently. He was really I really respect him for
Speaker 1: speaking so openly about his therapy and everything that he
Speaker 1: has been using a professional. And same thing with Bryson.
Speaker 1: He's grown up and talking about his dad, and the
Speaker 1: symmetry too with if you don't know the Payne Stewart story,
Speaker 1: he won there twenty five years ago and then tragically
Speaker 1: died in a plane crash, and if you're young, you know,
Speaker 1: google paint Stewart. He was this kind of legendary figure,
Speaker 1: good looking, went to SMU, you know, dressed differently, and
Speaker 1: died when his plane lost pressure cruising over the United States.
Speaker 1: And we all sat there for hours knowing that they
Speaker 1: had passed away until his plane ran out of gas
Speaker 1: and crashed, and they honored him and Bryson went to
Speaker 1: his college. They went to Bryson went to SMU because
Speaker 1: of Payne Stewart and just the symmetry of the whole
Speaker 1: thing and then talking about his dad and dedicating the
Speaker 1: victory to his dad. It was beautifuly goosebumps. I was emotional.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sitting with me. It was Father's Day
Speaker 1: and you sat with me. Elsie not for long, but
Speaker 1: she came in and when it was important, she sat
Speaker 1: there and she enjoyed that moment with me.
Speaker 2: And I ask the question, why is that important to you?
Speaker 1: It was like, if you had not done that, I
Speaker 1: wouldn't have thought about it twice because you hadn't been
Speaker 1: with me for most of the day when we were watching.
Speaker 1: But I just thought it was cool that you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you're really into this. I'm going to sit here for
Speaker 1: five minutes and just be with me because you're like,
Speaker 1: I want to know what's going on. And you came
Speaker 1: in and you kind of dove in. I'm like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's cool, just another thing, one of the million reasons
Speaker 1: you show me that you care.
Speaker 2: Oh well, no, that's sweet. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I gotn't want you sitting down for every football game,
Speaker 1: but don't worry. Don't worry. That's not what I'm asking.
Speaker 1: But I just thought it was sweet because you did.
Speaker 2: I just didn't think it well, but like I wish
Speaker 2: you would have told me like it would matter to
Speaker 2: you that if I did that. I didn't know that
Speaker 2: you cared if I sat to watch golf from it.
Speaker 1: Do you ever have moments as a couple when you
Speaker 1: don't know until you know, Like you don't think about
Speaker 1: something meaningful until later you're like, oh that was that
Speaker 1: meant a lot to me, Like you you wrote something
Speaker 1: in my card. I'm not going to say what it was,
Speaker 1: but you wrote something in my father's day card that's
Speaker 1: like stuck with me us thinking about it as I
Speaker 1: went to sleep last night, and I'm like, it's something
Speaker 1: you probably didn't even think. Oh well, you just said
Speaker 1: about being the patriarch of a family. Oh yes, and
Speaker 1: you would never know this link. But I always thought
Speaker 1: of my grandfather as the patriarch of our family, and
Speaker 1: it's I use that word a lot when I refer
Speaker 1: to him, and so for someone, that's the first time
Speaker 1: in my life that someone has referred to me like that,
Speaker 1: And so it just meant a lot. And so you
Speaker 1: wouldn't know, and I didn't know it was coming. So
Speaker 1: it's one of those things you don't know what's meaningful
Speaker 1: until it is. So thank you.
Speaker 2: I love that, honey. I'm glad that you.
Speaker 1: Hit home runs yesterday. You crushed it.
Speaker 2: Oh good.
Speaker 1: Plus the beautiful pair of boots we'll talk about.
Speaker 2: Well, his Father's Day gift was a pair of Takvis.
Speaker 2: We loved to covid.
Speaker 1: They are sexy.
Speaker 2: We got to get away from sports for a minute.
Speaker 2: I'm burnt out now, so let's talk about our friend
Speaker 2: who has gone Instagram official. Jason Tartik has hard launched
Speaker 2: his relationship with TikToker Kat Stickler. There were rumors for
Speaker 2: a minute, and I'll just be honest, You and I
Speaker 2: have known about this for a minute behind the scenes,
Speaker 2: but we don't spill our friend's tea. Super happy yeah
Speaker 2: for Jason as long as he's happy, and I have
Speaker 2: not we haven't met Kat yet, but no.
Speaker 1: I can't wait. They've been dating for a while. As
Speaker 1: you said, you know, even when he was you know,
Speaker 1: down here on the podcast we were talking about it.
Speaker 1: It was just so early days that you have never
Speaker 1: never know how those things are going to go and
Speaker 1: how it's going to turn out. But they've put the
Speaker 1: work in and and then by the way, yesterday Father's Day,
Speaker 1: not only they go insta official, they went family official.
Speaker 1: She met his family. Oh, so big step. They posted
Speaker 1: a picture of her and the family together. So spending
Speaker 1: Father's Day together, that's a big one. So our love
Speaker 1: to Jay and Kat and he is. We were texting
Speaker 1: the other day and he's just happy. And it's great
Speaker 1: to see a smile on his face because when you
Speaker 1: go through a big public breakup like you know he has,
Speaker 1: it's an emotional rollercoaster. And so when you come when
Speaker 1: you see people come out on the other side and
Speaker 1: they're better, stronger, it's always a wonderful thing. So our
Speaker 1: love to them. That's great.
Speaker 2: Can we end on a fun movie recommendation?
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do that because there's too many bad ones
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Okay, we talked about you know what,
Speaker 2: I can't figure out why do these movies like I
Speaker 2: don't trust Rotten Tomatoes anymore. I used to go glance
Speaker 2: the Rotten Tomatoes, get a quick you know, how are
Speaker 2: the reviews just overall? That movie with Anne Hathaway, the
Speaker 2: idea of you Unwatch and I thought it was just me,
Speaker 2: But no, our kids tried to watch it. Josh and
Speaker 2: his girlfriend tried to watch it, Taylor tried to watch it.
Speaker 2: None of them liked it, so I'm like, nope, and
Speaker 2: Hathaway's acting good. The like not an slam on the actors,
Speaker 2: the script, the characters, the pace, unwatchable. And then we
Speaker 2: tried to watch.
Speaker 1: The movie hit Man, number one movie on Netflix. It
Speaker 1: was like great reviews, great reviews.
Speaker 2: We were fast forwarding through it.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent on Rotten Tomatoes, one hundred percent. What
Speaker 1: is not ninety one hundred.
Speaker 2: Are the studios paying for this? I don't understand.
Speaker 1: I got to look into who bought Rotten Tomatoes. I
Speaker 1: know somebody did. Clearly it's not on the it's not
Speaker 1: on the up and up, it's not on the level,
Speaker 1: because there's no way possible that anybody watched that movie
Speaker 1: and said, oh my god, this is one hundred percent
Speaker 1: the best movie I have watched in years, because or
Speaker 1: this is a great movie at all.
Speaker 2: Right, what I wonder is, like I do know on
Speaker 2: Rotten Tomatoes, obviously they take all these critic of use
Speaker 2: and then they like curate them into a percentage of approval.
Speaker 2: But it's like they're the ones reading, allegedly reading the
Speaker 2: reviews and being like, here's so this critic really gave
Speaker 2: it a positive. I don't know. Like I would say
Speaker 2: about the idea of you Anne Hathaway's acting great, the
Speaker 2: entire movie really horrible. So would they take that and
Speaker 2: be like it was great even though I don't know?
Speaker 1: But hit Man. Here's the best way to sum up Hitman.
Speaker 1: When we turned it off, you go, I have a headache,
Speaker 1: and I was mad. I was, I was. I had
Speaker 1: a visceral reaction. I was angry at this movie. I
Speaker 1: was angry at the people that made this movie and
Speaker 1: I don't know them, and You're like, I have a headache.
Speaker 1: We both had this reaction.
Speaker 2: I don't know. From the trailer. I thought it was
Speaker 2: about a guy who pretended to be different hit men
Speaker 2: to get women to date him, and then like one
Speaker 2: thought he was a real hitman. That is in no
Speaker 2: way what it's about. But we both went at the
Speaker 2: end what was it? Was it a comedy? Was it romantic?
Speaker 2: Was it action?
Speaker 1: And I still don't know.
Speaker 2: I still don't know.
Speaker 1: I have no idea what the movie was.
Speaker 2: We were fast forwarding through. It is over two hours long.
Speaker 2: I don't know why all movies are so long. Give
Speaker 2: me a tight ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: We literally did. I started fast forwarding through the movie
Speaker 1: just to get through it.
Speaker 2: And again this is not a slam on the actors.
Speaker 2: I love Glenn Powell. I can't wait to see that
Speaker 2: movie Twister Neighbor. Yeah, he lives here in Austin. I'm
Speaker 2: not sure of the lead actress's name, but her acting
Speaker 2: was great but so bad, so don't waste your time.
Speaker 2: It didn't know what it was as a movie. I
Speaker 2: never laughed. There could have. We could have lost forty minutes.
Speaker 2: Now here's let's end on a positive note. A movie
Speaker 2: that I cannot figure out why this isn't getting more buzz.
Speaker 2: I cannot figure out why it didn't have as good
Speaker 2: of a rating on Rotten Tomatoes. My mom, my sister,
Speaker 2: my brother, and I so across genders, across ages, went
Speaker 2: to see the movie Babes. We were dying laughing. I
Speaker 2: would describe it in a one sentence as Bridesmaids but
Speaker 2: about pregnancy. It is so funny. If you want to
Speaker 2: go with your friends, your girlfriends, your partner, and just
Speaker 2: see a movie where you are going to leave feeling good,
Speaker 2: feeling great about people, about relationships, about parenting, about family,
Speaker 2: laughing your butt off. I mean I laughed to like
Speaker 2: cry it at one point. It's just a great watch.
Speaker 2: It should be the number one movie in America right now.
Speaker 1: And that lets you know why like Rotten Tomatoes has
Speaker 1: to be off and it has to be bought, because
Speaker 1: that makes no sense why a movie like that wouldn't
Speaker 1: resonate now I haven't seen it, would like our daughter
Speaker 1: who's in her twenties, and you know, I know it's
Speaker 1: about having a child and all that you need is that.
Speaker 1: Is it one of those things where you've got to
Speaker 1: be in that space in life or do you think
Speaker 1: every it'll resonate with everybody?
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like I saw Bridesmaids before I
Speaker 2: was married, and I thought it was funny, so like
Speaker 2: I think you'll laugh about it like and it gives
Speaker 2: by the way, Mike, give some young people great insight
Speaker 2: on parents.
Speaker 1: I think you hit on something yesterday we were talking
Speaker 1: about I forget who we're talking to, but you said
Speaker 1: something very poignant. Great movies like that like Babes And
Speaker 1: again I haven't seen it, but if you love it,
Speaker 1: I know I will. They hit and then later in
Speaker 1: life they hit for a different reason. Like you can
Speaker 1: laugh at Bride'smaids, you can laugh at Babes you can
Speaker 1: laugh at like even a coming of age movie like
Speaker 1: Saint Emo's Fire, which was big when I was younger,
Speaker 1: but I didn't get it because I hadn't gone to
Speaker 1: college and I hadn't graduated. You know. Saint Elmo's Fire
Speaker 1: is about that awkward moment when you're you know, like
Speaker 1: this young lady that was dating Bill Belichick, when you're
Speaker 1: moving into your new life. It's that transition and so
Speaker 1: but you can still love it and then later you're like, oh, man,
Speaker 1: I see why it hits harder.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I had a friend tell me that they've reread
Speaker 2: books like that. They reread The Great gats That's what
Speaker 2: it was later in life. Everybody reads in high school.
Speaker 2: But they said, you know, I reread it later and
Speaker 2: I like viewed the whole story so differently, and I thought, oh,
Speaker 2: that's interesting. So I would say, go see Babes and
Speaker 2: then you maybe watch it again. But just wanted to
Speaker 2: end on a positive wreck because there is a good
Speaker 2: movie out there, as desolate as the film landscape is.
Speaker 1: And you know, we fought for fall Guy a while back,
Speaker 1: and I will say that has held on. I think
Speaker 1: the critics tried to hate on it. People like the
Speaker 1: Rotten Tomatoes, and it wasn't doing great, but it's held
Speaker 1: on into the theaters and it actually is getting closer
Speaker 1: and closer to that one hundred million dollar mark. I
Speaker 1: think it's at eighty five or close to ninety now.
Speaker 1: So that's another good one that we love that we
Speaker 1: didn't understand why it wasn't doing better. So let's end
Speaker 1: on a positive note. Go see Babes, Go see Fall Guy.
Speaker 1: There are movies out there, apparently they're just harder to find.

Speaker 1: hope you had a great weekend, and I hope you
