1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Oh, welcome back, everybody, how jolly indeed, welcome to a

2
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: very Christmas e episode of Ridiculous Romance. Yeah, I'm Eli,

3
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: I'm Diana. We're so excited to have you back. Whether

4
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: you celebrate Christmas or not, whether you celebrate it traditionally, religiously, commercially,

5
00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: or whether you can't stand it and you just wanted

6
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: to go away already. Um. Either way, I hope you're

7
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: having a great weekend and that you're feeling full of

8
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: joy and cheer, or at least tolerating all the joy

9
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: and cheer as it washes over you brings you into

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: a new year. I do know several people who have

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: been watching horror movies for the last few nights, so

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: perhaps they're combating all the joy and cheer with a

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: little horror horrifying. Some people aren't into joy and cheer.

14
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly can get my fill, sure it

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: doesn't take much, but I but I like feeling good

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: more than not, so I try to try to take

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 1: the best that I can from it. Yeah, I mean,

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, I love Christmas because I like lights and nonsense.

19
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Pine scented candles. That's my favorite scent is pine. Love

20
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: it but I don't like it the rest of the year.

21
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: I wouldn't light a pine scented candle in June or

22
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: even February because it's just it's wrong. Which is funny

23
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: because you can go to a pine forest at any

24
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: time of year and it just smells good and you

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: don't think immediately of Christmas. But I think you're right.

26
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: If you were to suddenly have a pine scented candle

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: going in May or something, it would be like kind

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: of weird, what's going on in here? Be like lighting

29
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: a pumpkin candles in May. I would never allow such

30
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: a thing. Bringing flowers only, yeah, and I don't want

31
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: daisies in October. You know. Now, Diana and I collect ornaments.

32
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: That's one of our our things. Whenever we travel and stuff,

33
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,919
Speaker 1: we make sure we buy it. Chrisp Us ornaments somewhere,

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 1: something to hang on our tree. I mean, we have

35
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: write it, you know, if we try to remember where

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: where we were and we got it here, we got it.

37
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: So because of my memories ship I love who framed

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: Drowger Rabbit, and I could never find an ornament. So

39
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: I just bought some salt and pepper shakers of Roger

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,959
Speaker 1: and Jessica and put some string on it. Yeah, and

41
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: they're hanging on our tree right now. But it's a

42
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: very meaningful tree. You know, everything on it has a

43
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: story to it. And I like that your parents are

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: much more traditional tree with the tinsel and the garland

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: and the ribbon and the ornaments like you know that

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: you'd see like the Rockefeller kind of thing. Yeah, beautiful. Well,

47
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: they have a lot of I guess you could call

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: them meaningful. I guess they're old. I guess there's a

49
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: better word inherited ornaments some years gone by, so they're

50
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: not necessarily like. And I have a couple on our

51
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: tree too that I took with me, but you're not

52
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: necessarily like. I don't know whose this was. I just

53
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: think it was somebody's grandma's at some point, but you know,

54
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,079
Speaker 1: it feels important to keep. Well. I am excited it

55
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: for our version of Christmas. The world has given a

56
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: gift to me because we're going to see the Matrix

57
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: resurrections tonight and just real I mean, like, you know,

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm not going to talk about we haven't seen it

59
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: yet and I'm very anti spoilers, but it is like

60
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: the Matrix is my movie, you know, like when I

61
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: was ninety nine. I was fifteen when that movie came out,

62
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: and I saw it six times in theaters and it

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: was mind blowing and so cool, and not just like

64
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: the philosophical red pill, blue pill bullshit that a lot

65
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: of people get hung up on, but just the the

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: energy of that movie, the choreography of that movie, not

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: not just to fight choreography, but the way the story flows.

68
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: Here's the thing about The Matrix. Whether or not you've

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: seen it, you got it started, I won't go and

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: I won't go on. You know, a whole tangent here.

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: But the Matrix is a series of monologues that different

72
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: characters give to Neo and he until at the end

73
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: of the movie he gives his own monologue. And that

74
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: is the entire structure of that movie. And it's amazing.

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: Except for the effects, would probably be a good play.

76
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, honestly, pick one out, you get audition with it.

77
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: It's it's just everyone telling Neo a very long story.

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: At one point, Agent Smith gives Morpheus a monologue, but

79
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: other than that, it is just everyone gives a man

80
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: a monologue until he one day is eventually able to

81
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: give his own. That's the story of the Matrix. What

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: a beautiful character. And before we go to number four here,

83
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: my my expectations are tempered, you know, especially we just

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: saw Spider Man, which was such an incredible but I'm

85
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: just excited to see it. I'm just expecting a good

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: movie with some characters that I love. Talk about are

87
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: ridiculous romance. But Neo and Trinity are a great story.

88
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,479
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see another chapter of that. Despite

89
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: the fact that Neo has no character, you never you

90
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 1: never learned why she loves him so much. He never

91
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,280
Speaker 1: has a chance to show oh himself off. Besides, he's selfless.

92
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: He wants to be a hero, he wants to do

93
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: the right thing. Great, but we don't spend any time

94
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: with him as a person. And yet I guess it's

95
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: just Kiana and carry In having just really great chemistry.

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: I want them to be together, I want them to

97
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: be happy. So anyway, and yeah, just Kiana and carry Anne.

98
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: I'm just here to watch them do anything they'd like

99
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: to do. They're fantastic and they look great in the

100
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: late fifties. Um, I guess everybody looks great in their

101
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: late fifties now, you know, late fifties of the new

102
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 1: late twenties, I swear, and if millennials have anything to

103
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: say about it, it's going to stay that way, very image,

104
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: perpetually in our late twenties. I don't want to grow up.

105
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm a millennial. But those are not the celebrities we're

106
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: here to talk about today. No, no, today, we're doing

107
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: a quick, fun, little story about a beloved Hollywood couple

108
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 1: that has been together for almost forty years now and

109
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: the secret to their longevity. Well that's a pretty unconventional

110
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: answer for most of us and by most standards, but

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, this is the thing

112
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: that held them together through the good times and the

113
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: bad and brought them all the way from the shores

114
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: of Oregon in Overboard to the North Pole in the

115
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: Christmas Chronicles too, where they play Santa and Mrs Claus.

116
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: I think that's what sparked the idea for us to

117
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: do this episode, because hey, it's Christmas, let's do Santa

118
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: and Mrs Clause. Let's take a closer look at this, uh,

119
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: this very unconventional romance from these two superstars. Yeah, I'm excited.

120
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: Kyle French come listen, well, Elia and Diana got some

121
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 1: stories to tell. There's no match making a romantic tips.

122
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 1: It's just about pridiculous relationships, a love. It might be

123
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 1: any type of person at all, and abstract cons that

124
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 1: are a concrete wall. But if there's a story where

125
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: the second glance ridiculous A production of I Heart Radio.

126
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: So Kurt Russell, the King of Cool. He was born

127
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty one in Springfield, Massachusetts, and his father

128
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Bing Russell Ding. It's a great name his name, Kurt

129
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: Russell's dad could only be named Bing. That's such a

130
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: twenties type of I know he was obviously not born

131
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 1: in the twenties, but like, that's such a turn of

132
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: the century. Bing's oh being old boy. Get on over here, Hey, guys,

133
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Pottie started Bing's here. So Bing Russell was of course

134
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 1: also an actor. With a name like Bing Russell, you

135
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: gotta be a gonna do um. And Kurt Russell's mother, Louise,

136
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: was a dancer, so big, big arts performing family. Kurt

137
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: has three sisters, Jill, Jamie, and Jody. I can relate

138
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 1: to that boy with a bunch of sisters. I couldn't

139
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: find their birth order would just be funny if they

140
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: were like three jays and then they got to a son,

141
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: They're like, I guess we'll move on to the next letter.

142
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: They grew up together in the Los Angeles suburb of

143
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: Thousand Oaks, and in nineteen sixty three, when Kurt Russell

144
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: was twelve years old, he got his first acting gig

145
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: in an Elvis movie called Little What Happened in the

146
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: World's Fare Is that You? It Happened that the World's

147
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Fair is a film with a fourteen percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

148
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: I haven't seen it um. Dennis Schwartz, a reviewer, said

149
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: it was a movie quote for die hard Elvis fans

150
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: or lovers of flicks that are set at the World's Fair.

151
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: That's my favorite. Netflix categories films set at the World's Fair.

152
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: There's two and they're like, and you want to play

153
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 1: him over and over. So anyway, Kurt Russell's performance was uncredited. Again,

154
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: he was a twelve year old boy. He played this

155
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: kid who Elvis stops and says, hey, good, I'll give

156
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: you a quarter to kick me on the chin real hard.

157
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: He see, I looked it up there. That's hilarious, right, Like,

158
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: what's wrong? With this guy. It's a great part. I

159
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: would have killed for this part. Um so that the

160
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: story is apparently in this scene that Elvis wants to

161
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: meet a girl who's a nurse. So he tells the kid, like, hey,

162
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,439
Speaker 1: why don't you injure me a little so I'll have

163
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: an excuse to go talk to this nurse. It feels

164
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: like you could just fake a limp or something at

165
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: that point, but whatever, So the kid Kurt Russell does,

166
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: he takes the quarter, he kicks him in the shin

167
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 1: and uh, and then Elvis limps away and Kurt Russell

168
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: turns almost directly to the camera and goes, adults, they're

169
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: all nuts. It's a great delivery from a from a

170
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: soon to be superstar. On Graham Norton, Kurt Russell just

171
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: a few years ago, I was doing an interview about this.

172
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: He said, I kicked Elvis maybe a little too hard,

173
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: and he didn't really understand who Elvis was at the time. Yeah, right,

174
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 1: like I've heard the name. But then Elvis showed up

175
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: on set in a car or they were filming at

176
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: the actual World's Fair, and he said, three thousand women

177
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: just tackled the car and Kurt Russell was like, this

178
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: guy must be pretty famous. That's funny, and he was

179
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: soon cast in the titular role of an ABC Western

180
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: series called The Travels of Jamie mcfeeder's Jamie such a

181
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: nineteen sixties character name, and that series is about quote,

182
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 1: a boy, his ne'er do well father, and a ragtag

183
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: group of pioneers traveling westward from Paduca, Kentucky to the

184
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: California gold fields in eighteen forty nine. Paduca, Kentucky, Well,

185
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: Paduca to California is a long journey. That's how much

186
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: I know. And this show led to him signing a

187
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: ten year contract with Walt Disney Studios. Through the sixties

188
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: and early seventies, he was in movies like Follow Me Boys,

189
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 1: The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit, The Computer Wore

190
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Tennis Shoes, and The Barefoot Executive. So just a lot

191
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: of wacky titles for Disney. That's back in the day.

192
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 1: They love those crazy titles. So anyway, Kurt's and all

193
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: these crazy sounding movies for Disney, and he was also

194
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: guest starring in non Disney projects, just racking up credits

195
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: like a madman. And then in nine Disney was like

196
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: hot off the musical success of Mary Poppins and the

197
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: Sound of Music, And I mean obviously everybody s heart

198
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 1: of those, and they decided it's time to crank out

199
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: another classic hits. Well, you know after those two, like

200
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: you gotta come out swinging, Oh, Mary Poppins and Sound

201
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: of Music, something big. Whatever Disney comes out with next,

202
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: is gonna stand the test of time. Gotta be, gotta

203
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: be so. Kurt Russell was cast as the teenage son

204
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: Sydney Bauer in the movie We all Know and Love

205
00:11:54,760 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: the One and only genuine Original Family Band. No Fueler,

206
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: nobody anybody. Are fans out there cheering? You're not familiar

207
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 1: with that one. People just had to pull over to

208
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 1: get out of a car and jump up and down

209
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: a cheer. I mean, some die hard Disney Classics fans

210
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: really love the film. But at the time The New

211
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 1: York Times called it quote about is pepless and fizzled?

212
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: A musical has has ever come out of Walt Disney

213
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: studio pepliss and fizzled? Yikes? Please don't describe me that way. Um.

214
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: In my obituary, the l A Times said the film

215
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: quote is I'm afraid the worst Disney movie in a

216
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: long time. But none of that matters because the main

217
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: thing that matters about this movie is that an actress

218
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: five years older than Kurt Russell made her big screen

219
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: debut as Giggily Girl, and that actress was Goldie Geen

220
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,959
Speaker 1: on gold I Love Goldie han. They spoke briefly on set,

221
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: but Kurt was a star in the movie and just

222
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: a teenager. Goldie Hawn was in her early twenties and

223
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: she had more of a cameo role, so they didn't

224
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: really have a lot of time to connect um and

225
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 1: it would have been inappropriate anyway. So Kurt Russell continued

226
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: his acting career, but in ninety one he decided he

227
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: wanted to be a baseball player in addition to being

228
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: an actor, so he started out in the minor leagues

229
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: and then he played for the Portland Mavericks, which incidentally

230
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: was a team that his dad owned. But surely, yeah,

231
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,839
Speaker 1: just a coincidence, I'm sure had nothing to do with

232
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 1: the fact that this movie star got on the team.

233
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, listen, he probably did play well enough

234
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 1: to get on the team, But the thing is is

235
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: that someone else would have not had to try out

236
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: at all unless the dad owned it, so just saying

237
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: a little bit short based on nepotism. It happens um

238
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,599
Speaker 1: and he did play well. He did okay for a

239
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 1: couple of years. He was a second baseman, but he

240
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,920
Speaker 1: had a shoulder injury that kind of got him out

241
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: of the game. It pretty much ended his baseball career

242
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy three. So he refocused on acting and

243
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: he started in Disney sci fi comedy The Strongest Man

244
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: in the World in ninety five, and then in nineteen

245
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: seventy nine, at twenty years old, he returned to his

246
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: his Graceland roots to play Elvis in this TV movie

247
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: called Elvis, which was directed by John Carpenter. Oh cool,

248
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: I've never knew John Carpenter made an Elvis. Oh yeah.

249
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: It was a a mini series and Kurt Russell ended

250
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: up getting an Emmy nomination for his work in that,

251
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: And of course he started a working relationship with John Carpenter,

252
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: which led to him being in Escape from New York

253
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: and that sort of started his career as an action star. Yes,

254
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're like, can you play Elvis? And Kurt

255
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: Russell's like, oh me and Elvis go way back. Kicked

256
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: him in the ship once yea, and yeah, sure, we

257
00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 1: could go through his IMDb bay and just list off

258
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 1: all the cool things and when you'll add includes in

259
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: three Thousand Miles to Graceland he played an Elvis impersonator

260
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 1: very much, so a lot of Kurt Russell's career. Actually, yeah, yeah,

261
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: I mean, do we even need to mention Big Trouble

262
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 1: in Little China, one of the finest shooms ever, beautiful

263
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: backdraft starting Tombstone forgetting Stone's one of the best movies

264
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: ever made, credible, some of the best performances. Val Kilmer

265
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: in Tombstone is one of my top ten. I was

266
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: going to say, as good as everyone is in that movie,

267
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 1: that movie kind of belongs to Val Kilmer in my opinion.

268
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: He makes it so iconic. That performances incredible. I love

269
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: him so much. He's amazing. But Kurt Russell, of course incredible.

270
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: Wider so also like born to play Wider Like I was, like,

271
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 1: who else could ever play Wider? But yeah, we're not

272
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: here to read your Kurt Russell's I am dB aging

273
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: get all excited about there because we want to talk

274
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: to you about the man's love life. Yes, weird nosy

275
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: like that and back in when he was making Elvis.

276
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 1: Kurt married his co star Season Hubley, who is a

277
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 1: now retired actress. Together they had one son, Boston Russell,

278
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 1: and they divorced for unknown reasons because it's none of

279
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: your business, your busybody. Get Boston Russell is a dog breed, right,

280
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: like a Boston Terrier and a Jack Russell. Oh, it's

281
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 1: a cute. What breed. It's a Boston Russell. Yeah, has

282
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 1: some breathing trouble, but he bounces a lot. Oh, I

283
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: think people would like Boston Russell. Would take a Boston Russell.

284
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: And the next year in Kurt Russell starred in the

285
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: movie Swing Shift alongside Fred Ward Ed Harris and Goldie Hawn.

286
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: So what has Goldie been up to all this time?

287
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: She was born in ninety and Washington, d c. Her

288
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: mother was also a dancer and owned a jewelry shop,

289
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 1: and her father was a band musician, another arty, and

290
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 1: she took ballet and tap lessons starting when she was

291
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 1: three years old. In her early twenties, she moved to

292
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: California and worked as a musical theater actress before getting

293
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 1: cast in a sitcom called Good Morning World, when she

294
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 1: played a stereotypical dumb blonde kind. She was like the

295
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: girlfriend of the DJ or something. Yeah, that sounds like

296
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: a common part for her to get, certainly. But in

297
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty eight, she joined the cast of the hit

298
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: sketch comedy show Laughing, and her main stick on that

299
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: show was sort of a twist on the dumb blonde

300
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: thing because she's like giggle and laugh through bits, but

301
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: then turn it into like a perfectly delivered punchline so good,

302
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: and I totally see that she probably got that type

303
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 1: of role all the time and was just like so

304
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: over She's like, let me skewer this. That they recognized

305
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: how funny she really was kind of gave her a

306
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,240
Speaker 1: chance to play with that and it's great. And as

307
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: this hot, funny blonde, she was America's it girl in

308
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: the late nineteen sixties. So her like giggling character on

309
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: Laughing is what led to her appearance in The Family Band,

310
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: which is of course where she met Kurt Russell for

311
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: the first time. But she wasn't even credited in that film,

312
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: you know, just total cameo appearance. They just want people

313
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: in audience go, oh, that's the girl from Laughing. Um.

314
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: But the very next year, she was cast in Cactus Flower,

315
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 1: which is a movie adaptation of a stage play with

316
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: Walter math Out and Ingrid Bergman, big names, and for

317
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: her very first credited role on the big screen ever,

318
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: she won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Is that

319
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: I put in one gets your trophy? Yeah? Well, obviously

320
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: after this her film career blew up. Everybody wanted Goldie Hawns.

321
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: She started a few like successful comedies. Uh, There's a

322
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Girl in My Soup was one of them. Have not

323
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 1: seen that one? Butterflies Are Free another one, And then

324
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 1: she got to go into more prestige films like The

325
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Girl from Petrovka and Spielberg's first theatrical film, The sugar

326
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Land Express. But you're not America's it girl without all

327
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: the boys coming for you, right, So she was out there.

328
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: I mean, she was hot, she was famous, she was

329
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: getting out there. She also apparently has a voracious sexual appetite.

330
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: She said, yeah, um. And so in nineteen sixty nine

331
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: she got married to a guy named Gus Trakonis, who

332
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: was a dancer. He was actually one of the sharks

333
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: in West Side Story original. Also, she and Gus share

334
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: the same birthday November twenty one. That was interesting for

335
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: a couple to get together over that, but they ended

336
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: up separating four years later in nineteen seventy three. So

337
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn then dated stuntman Ted Grossman. She dated a

338
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: Swedish actor named Bruno Vincel and an Italian actor Frank

339
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: o'neiro who's more famous. You've probably seen him in dozens

340
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: of things. He was the bad guy in john Wick

341
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: Two guys, speaking of Keanu, the guy who like sits

342
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: down in the Assassin's hotel with him and they're talking

343
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: to each other. He's like, wait, as soon as you

344
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: leave here, I'm gonna kill you. Yeah, that's him. After

345
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: she went all over the world, she sure did. Yeah

346
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: Swedish Italian. But after officially divorcing Traconis in she married

347
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: musician Bill Hudson of the Hudson Brothers, and together they

348
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: had two children who you may have heard of, Oliver

349
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 1: and Kate Hudson Leggings fame. But she filed for divorce

350
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: from Bill in eight They were just married for about

351
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: five years. So it's the early eighties. Goldie Hawn and

352
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Kurt Russell are both in the thirties. Both divorced and

353
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: both parents, and they were cast opposite each other for

354
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: the first time in Swing Shift. What follows is a hot, steamy,

355
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: ridiculous romance that would lead to some of the best

356
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: comedic pairings, a family line of impressive careers, and a

357
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 1: fresh take on relationships that shows us that the standard

358
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: model isn't for everybody. It's all coming up right after this,

359
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: and welcome back to the show. Ho ho, I'm gonna

360
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: work it in as often as I now. Goldie said

361
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: that when they were reunited for Swing Shift, she remembered

362
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 1: meeting Kurt Russell on the set of The Family Band

363
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: in six and that she had liked him very much.

364
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: She thought he was adorable, but again, he was a teenager.

365
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: She was in her twenties. You know, it wasn't happening,

366
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: and they had both said they would never date another actor.

367
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: But Kurt was just too smooth and gents. He said.

368
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: He came to read lines with her for her audition

369
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: and it was the first time they had met since

370
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: eighteen years earlier, but he was severely hungover, he explained

371
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:18,440
Speaker 1: in an interview with Conan O'Brien quote, I just didn't

372
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: have in my mind what I was going to see

373
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: and she had a great body. So the first thing

374
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 1: that came out was, man, you've got a great figure.

375
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he said he didn't even realize he

376
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 1: was saying it. But you know, when you're so hungover

377
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: that your brain and your mouth are not communicating anymore.

378
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: He just went straight from his eyeballs to his mouth.

379
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 1: So he's like, oh, it could have gone so wrong.

380
00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: But she simply replied, why thank you, which does sound

381
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: like a Julie Hunt thing to say. And she told

382
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: People Magazine in quote, he was so good looking, but

383
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: he had no pretense about him. I could tell right

384
00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: away that he was a womanizer. And you know, look,

385
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 1: it's not it's not a good line. I will not

386
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: don't be like success. Well if it worked for Kurt Russell,

387
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: because here's the thing for everybody out there, a lot

388
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: of things are gonna work for Kurt Russell but aren't

389
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: going to work for the rest of us. And that's

390
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: just the truth of the world. I don't like it,

391
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 1: you don't like it, Kurt Russell likes it. Kurt Russell's

392
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 1: fine with it. But that's just that's just how it is.

393
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: Kurt said they were both trying to keep work work

394
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: and not mix business with pleasure. That's part of not

395
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 1: wanting to date actors. You know, Look, we're doing a

396
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 1: project together. I don't want to muck it up and

397
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: make things challenging. And so they're not trying to get together.

398
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: But there's a swing dancing scene in the movie. It

399
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 1: takes place during World War two, and so Kurt suggested

400
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 1: maybe they should go out at night and practice swing

401
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: dancing at a club somewhere, And he says, the only

402
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 1: club in town that was doing swing was the Playboy Club,

403
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 1: so it sounds legit. Well, they decided to go out

404
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: there and they ended up just talking for two hours.

405
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: He said, they never even ended up dancing because they

406
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: just headed off. So I know, it's so great. And

407
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: as he said on Live with Kelly and Ryan in

408
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: an interview about this, one thing led to another, and

409
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: Goldie invited him back to the house that she had

410
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: just bought. And the problem was she had just bought

411
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 1: the house to renovate it and it hadn't yet been

412
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: renovated and she didn't even have the key yet. So

413
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: they go back to this house. I imagine they're a

414
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: little tipsy from their night at the Playboy Club and

415
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:41,639
Speaker 1: they have to break in. So they break into the

416
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: house and she's showing him around this you know, empty house,

417
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: probably partly torn apart, and Kurt said of it, quote,

418
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: we were looking around at imaginary furniture, and we went

419
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:56,240
Speaker 1: to the imaginary bedroom and we were realistically having sex

420
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: when suddenly Kurt looked up and he was blinded by

421
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 1: a high beam flashlight. It was the cops. They were surrounded.

422
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,639
Speaker 1: They had come out to investigate this break in. I

423
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: guess someone had tipped him off, and uh, they almost

424
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 1: got arrested. Kurt Russell called it cop us interrupt us.

425
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: That's good. And so they explained them that they owned

426
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 1: the house, and Kurt said, quote, they told us to

427
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: go get a hotel room, so we did. He said

428
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: it was such a fun time, and after that night

429
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: the two of them were inseparable. I love this loyal neighbor.

430
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 1: That's like, no, not on my watch, Goldie Han will

431
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: never be ribbed while I'm here. I wonder if later

432
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: he's like, you can always count on me. Goal that

433
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 1: I called the cops right when I saw this minute

434
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: I saw that window smash. She's like, yeah, thank you,

435
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 1: you're ruined some really hot floor sex. I was about

436
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,920
Speaker 1: to have a Kurt Russell. But don't worry. We ended

437
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: up having really hot all over the furniture sex at

438
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: this hotel and now we have a great story. Yeah. Yeah,

439
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: it's true. They milked that one because it's in like

440
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: four interview. Oh my god, I would tell him. So. Yeah,

441
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 1: they started dating, but Goldie said that what really made

442
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,119
Speaker 1: her fall for him was when her kids came to

443
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: the set and Oliver and Kate came occasionally to work

444
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: with Goldie and Kurt, who, of course as a father himself,

445
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: was amazing with them. He made time to hang out

446
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: with them, he knew how to talk to them. They

447
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 1: just they liked him back just as much as he

448
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: liked them. Goldie said that was it for her partly

449
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: probably speculation stations, but most likely it's because Bill Hudson,

450
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 1: who is their their biological father, basically split and didn't

451
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: have anything to do with Oliver and Kate after he

452
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: and Goldie divorced. In Oliver Hudson posted a photo of Bill,

453
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: his biological father, on Instagram on Father's Day and captioned

454
00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: it quote happy abandonment Day. Ouch. While this year Kate

455
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: posted a picture of Kurt and wrote quote our great

456
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: loyal protector, our dependable, authentic captain, our wild, sometimes untamed

457
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 1: adventurer father. He's one hell of a dad. Lucky us.

458
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: And on his birthday, she posted that Kurt Russell was

459
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 1: a quote never missed a show or again kind of dad,

460
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: kids before anything, kind of dad. It is a speculation,

461
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: but it's probably pretty obvious that would be of powerful

462
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:33,400
Speaker 1: aphrodisiaction on a woman to have her kids love her

463
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: boyfriend so much and then for him to be so

464
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: great with them throughout their whole lives when they didn't

465
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 1: have that kind of person in their life already. Yeah,

466
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: I could totally see that being very sexy. Yeah, definitely

467
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: very sexy. Definitely, especially if you already look like Kurt Russell.

468
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: I know she's like, first of all, you're sexy. Now

469
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: you're being sexy, Like, this is crazy. Save some for

470
00:27:55,960 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: the rest of us. Kurt and six Goldie and Kurt

471
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: had a son together who was named Wyatt, and you

472
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: might know him better as the guy you see and say,

473
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: holy sh it, that kid looks like Kurt Russell. He

474
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 1: really does. Most recently as Discount Captain America in The

475
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: Falcon and The Winter Soldier. But actually did such a

476
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: good job on that show that I thought he did

477
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: really well. Yeah, yeah, he was very good. People are

478
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: out there wondering when are we going to see Kurt

479
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: Russell and Goldie Hawn together again, because they know they're

480
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: a thing. They're a hot Hollywood couple. They got together

481
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 1: on this movie. Let's let's see him together again. We

482
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: all want that. But Kurt Russell pointed out that they

483
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 1: already had careers going. They weren't codependent people, and we'll

484
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: see a lot of that moving forward in their relationship.

485
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: They were happier, not mixing business and pleasure, and they

486
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: didn't want to just do like publicity stunt casting where

487
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 1: everyone's just you know, the whole point of the movie

488
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: is that Kurt Russell and goldiehn are together in it

489
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 1: all right, like we just want the movie to be good, Yeah,

490
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: exact lee. But then they got a script for a

491
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:08,479
Speaker 1: movie called Overboard pulls their cars over again to get

492
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: out and stand up and chair her Overboard. The movie

493
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:14,959
Speaker 1: was written by Leslie Dixon, and the studio commissioned her

494
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: to write Overboard based on a real incident in which

495
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 1: a woman with amnesia washed ashore in Florida. Dixon said

496
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 1: to Vanity Fair, quote, I was daunted from the get

497
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: go by the idea of amnesia as a central plot device,

498
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,480
Speaker 1: but I was in no position to complain. Someone was

499
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: paying me to write a screenplay. Yes, I recognized that

500
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: feeling autely. Well, I don't because nobody's ever paid me

501
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: to write a screenplay. But I know how it would feel.

502
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: I'd be like, whatever you want, boss, I'll shut up

503
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: and do it. Here I go the Coca Cola overboard.

504
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: But Dixon said, Kurt Russell and Goldie Han made it

505
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: all work. Quote, they were newly in love and it

506
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 1: shows on screen. They're so cute together that the audience

507
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,320
Speaker 1: loves it. And she said that she'd never before seen

508
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: an actor say yes to a screenplay so quickly. Also

509
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: in a quick fling with history, gotcha, Leslie. Dixon went

510
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: on to write Mrs doubt Fire, Pay It Forward, and

511
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:21,120
Speaker 1: the remakes of Freaky Friday, Hairspray, and The Thomas Crown Affair.

512
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: But in what she calls her proudest accomplishment, she was

513
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 1: looking for the rights to a novel called The Dark Fields,

514
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: which were owned by Harvey Weinstein for Harvey Weinstein, but

515
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 1: she knew she didn't want to get involved with Miramax

516
00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: because of Harvey's reputation. And we all know Harvey only

517
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 1: recently getting any jail time, but his all the accusations

518
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,600
Speaker 1: against him, I mean, they've been coming out, They've been

519
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: leveled for decades. People. He's his behavior has been a

520
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 1: quote unquote open secret, which is the rightest dumbist turn

521
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 1: of phrase we have maybe ever come up with anyway

522
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 1: for a very long time. So clearly she's like, I'm

523
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: hearing all these whisper whispers and I don't like them,

524
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: even though there may be not substantiated you hear him enough,

525
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: who cares? And she said, quote I wasn't afraid of

526
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 1: being harassed because he really only went for girls in

527
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: their twenties and I was older than that. But I

528
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: didn't want a telephone thrown at my head or to

529
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:26,760
Speaker 1: be screamed at. WHOA, what a lovely menu of options

530
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: for you hanging out with Harvey Wine. I'm too old

531
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: to be sexually harrass but I might get a phone

532
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 1: thrown in my head. Yas So, without ever meeting Harvey

533
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: in person, she made a deal with him. She would

534
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 1: write the script for The Dark Fields for free, but

535
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: if he didn't respond in a certain period of time,

536
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 1: she would get the rights. And she said, quote, then

537
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm afraid I did a bad thing. I turned it

538
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: in during Canned Film Festival when I knew no one

539
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: would read it, and time ran out and the rights

540
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 1: were hers. She said, quote, I tricked Harvey out of

541
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: the rights without him ever meeting me, seeing me, or

542
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 1: knowing what I was doing. It get him and that

543
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:13,000
Speaker 1: movie ended up being called Limitless during Bradley Cooper, which

544
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: is a great movie by the way, I was really

545
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: surprised how much I like that, and I think it

546
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: did pretty well, so good for Leslie Dixon love it.

547
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: It's not easy to pull one over on Harvey Weinstein

548
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: Batman's evil Hawk, but she got him, she got it,

549
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: got him good. But Overboard gave audiences this Kurt Russell

550
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn pairing they wanted to see, and this movie was,

551
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: of course a hit. Dixon said. The film has endured

552
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: quote because Kurt and Goldie are the two cutest individuals

553
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,640
Speaker 1: who have walked the planet. The chemistry they had on

554
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: screen is very rare. I lay it all on them.

555
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: They are the movie so true. I mean, they are

556
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,280
Speaker 1: so cute, they're adorable, and that movies like as I

557
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: would say, Leslie Dixon has ever met us, but other

558
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: than us, then she's probably correct. You've heard it live

559
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: on air. It's officially out on the internet. Diana Brown says,

560
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm cuter than Goldie Haunt, and hey, I agree, but

561
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:16,479
Speaker 1: but but yeah, I mean, like, you know, that movie's

562
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: got its uncomfortable issues because he does, like you know, guess,

563
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: like this woman with amnesia and thinking he's her husband

564
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: and then she has to raise his kids and all

565
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: this stuff. Like Leslie Dixon specifically was like, I took

566
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 1: the love making scene and I put it away late

567
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: in the movie so that it was already so she

568
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: was she had decided to do at that point, but

569
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 1: not like I guess I should because he's my husband.

570
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: She's like trying to make it better. So, all right,

571
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 1: this is the hottest couple in Hollywood, right. They've got

572
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 1: this incredible chemistry on screen and off. They loved each

573
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 1: other's kids, Everyone loves them together. So everybody's got the

574
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: same question, when am I going to hear them ring

575
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 1: a ding dang wedding bows, Hollywood wedding right, everybody's waiting

576
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: for it, obviously. And in nine the two of them

577
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: presented together for the Oscar for Best Director. They came

578
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: out to like, you know, read the envelope the Oscar

579
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: goes to and they and they did a little scripted

580
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 1: bit beforehand. I think just to give give Hollywood and

581
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: give the press little taste of what they were so

582
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: hungry for. So we'll we'll re enact this exact conversation

583
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 1: from the from the awards that you can find it

584
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 1: on YouTube. It's hilarious, Honey. I was just thinking back

585
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 1: there that we fit perfectly into the theme of the

586
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: show because we're co stars, were compadres, we're companions, and

587
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: we're a couple. Yeah, there's only one thing that we're

588
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: not married. He's about a proposal. Hell, putting you on

589
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 1: the spot. I guess now is a good time as

590
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 1: any to answer that. I oh, look, they want us

591
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: to speed things up. Listen, we'll talk about it later tonight. Anyway,

592
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 1: the role of director and needs no explanation. We will

593
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 1: talk about that later tonight. So, you know, just a

594
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,400
Speaker 1: cute little bit. They did also watch it because it

595
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 1: looks like they just had sex before coming on stage. Literally,

596
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 1: look like they are so giddy together. More possible. I

597
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: think maybe they did always just have sex whenever you

598
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,800
Speaker 1: saw them anywhere you go in Hollywood, the bathrooms closed

599
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: and everyone's like hurt and Goldie in there again. I mean,

600
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for the bathroom for a fifteen minutes.

601
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: They imply it constantly in their interviews, and I did

602
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: read one um that Goldie and her husband Bill, her

603
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: ex husband, they apparently had sex constantly in airplane bathrooms

604
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: and airports, in the hotel, and like backstage constantly, she's thirsty.

605
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,800
Speaker 1: Goldie likes to get it on. Hey, that should be

606
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: you should be her new publicist. I don't think she'd

607
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: appreciate that that focus. So it was just a scripted bit.

608
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: But of course everybody is out there drooling over the

609
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 1: idea of these two tie in the knot. So what happened?

610
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: When was the official proposal? Is love real or not?

611
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 1: Come on show us. Well, we will have the answer

612
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: to that right after we jingle all the way to

613
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: this commercial break. Okay, little girl, what would you like

614
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: for Christmas? I'd like to come back to the show.

615
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: I guess well, then we will be right back to

616
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: the show. Here we are. Well, thanks Santa. Back to

617
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:41,720
Speaker 1: the show. So the world was waiting for Kurt Russell

618
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 1: to get down on one knee and give Goldie Han

619
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 1: a big old ring and for the two of them

620
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,440
Speaker 1: to commit in holy matrimony and prove to us all

621
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: that a love like there's is everlasting and that a big,

622
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:58,240
Speaker 1: fancy wedding ceremony is the way to show it. Well, sorry, world,

623
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:00,879
Speaker 1: But as Hoda cut Beast aid on The Today Show

624
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,840
Speaker 1: last year, Kurt and Goldier quote the gold standard for

625
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: living together and having a great relationship without getting married.

626
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 1: When asked, Kurt Russell said, quote, well, we really didn't

627
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 1: think about it that much, and Goldie said, well, I

628
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 1: thought about it. But she said that marriage hadn't worked

629
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: for either of them in the past. You know again

630
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: they're both divorced, and though she didn't think it would

631
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: necessarily not work again, they both just felt like it

632
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 1: was unnecessary. They found so much that brought them together,

633
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 1: but they had a lot about them that was different too,

634
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: and Goldie points out that not getting married made them

635
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 1: feel more free to have disagreements and differences, saying quote

636
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: there's no such thing as divorced when you're not married.

637
00:37:48,160 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: That's true, which is true, and Kurt agreed, although he

638
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,120
Speaker 1: said that for the sake of their kids, if the

639
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,560
Speaker 1: kids ever felt like that it was important for them,

640
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 1: they would have done it. Um, you know, he's if

641
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,360
Speaker 1: that was something that mattered, we would have done it.

642
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: But Goldie said the kids didn't want them to. They

643
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: were strictly interested in building memories together and forming a

644
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: strong familial bond and just bringing joy into each other's lives.

645
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 1: At this point, right now today, they've been together for

646
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,800
Speaker 1: almost forty years, and they attribute that longevity to not

647
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 1: being married. At a film panel in Goldie Hans said, quote,

648
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 1: if you like your independence, there's something psychological about not

649
00:38:26,080 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: being married, because it gives you the freedom to make

650
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,479
Speaker 1: decisions one way or the other. I chose to stay,

651
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 1: and Kurt chose to stay. And she told Women's Day

652
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: magazine in two thousand seven, quote, I think the secret

653
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,399
Speaker 1: is to know when to depend on somebody and when

654
00:38:40,480 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: not to. It's important that you hold up your side

655
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: of the house. I love that, Yeah, hold up your

656
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 1: side of the house. It's such a great way of

657
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: putting it because you you do. You need to have

658
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: someone that you can rely on, but that's what the

659
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,720
Speaker 1: other person needs to so you have to be that person.

660
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 1: And then you also on your own. You have to

661
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: take care of yourself and your own life, and if

662
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 1: you're falling apart, you know, not able to handle your

663
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,920
Speaker 1: ship as an independent person. You know, it's kind of

664
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,239
Speaker 1: like it's kind of like Tony Sarks as a spider Man.

665
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 1: If if you're nothing without the suit, then you don't

666
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: deserve the suit. Right. If you are as a solo,

667
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:24,000
Speaker 1: independent person not full and complete, you know, then how

668
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: are you as a partner? Yeah, I think it makes

669
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 1: you a more challenging partner. I mean, especially if even

670
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:30,800
Speaker 1: if you are a whole person and then you're just

671
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 1: the type to get real codependent and be like, oh, well,

672
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,239
Speaker 1: now that you're here, I don't have to do that

673
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 1: stuff anymore that I used to do just fine when

674
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: I was single. Um, because you know, people do that

675
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 1: ship all the time. They just kind of go, I'm

676
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 1: gonna be wrapped up in you. That's You're going to

677
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: be it for me and that's all I need. And

678
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: they're like, suddenly I have not just myself but a

679
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: whole other person. Whole life now is up to me.

680
00:39:56,920 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: The quality of your life is completely down to me.

681
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,680
Speaker 1: That's not for be fair, right, right, because then you

682
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: have to concentrate on their quality of life over your own,

683
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,800
Speaker 1: or else you're gonna hear about it. So so it

684
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: gets it. It's it's just as she says, not very fair.

685
00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: So Goldiehan and Kurt Russell had found this blend of

686
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: like reliability and independence and that's worked very well for them.

687
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: The marriage, like the legally binding ceremony of it all,

688
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 1: this was incidental and not like a requisite for a

689
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: lasting bond. And this seems to be the hardest thing

690
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: for people to kind of grasp at first with sort

691
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: of our traditional views of marriage and long term relationships,

692
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 1: Like there's kind of an inherent discrepancy between independence and

693
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:44,360
Speaker 1: a monogamous bond between two people. But Goldie said, quote,

694
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 1: I already feel devoted. Isn't that what marriage is supposed

695
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,279
Speaker 1: to do. We both have independent finances, we're both well off.

696
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 1: We raised our children brilliantly, and we didn't have to

697
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 1: get married to do that. I like waking up every

698
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: day and seeing that he's there and knowing that I

699
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 1: have a choice there is really no reason to marry.

700
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: And that's another thing I wanted to bring up to

701
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: about these two is they also had the means to

702
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,960
Speaker 1: live like this and not everyone does, which is another

703
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: way to just put a spotlight on the fact that

704
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 1: this is a unique relationship, and this style of relationship

705
00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,880
Speaker 1: works really well for people who can support themselves independently

706
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: and don't have to worry about each other's careers and

707
00:41:23,200 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 1: things like that. Um, that's great. That might not work

708
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:32,520
Speaker 1: for many many other people. Yeah, totally. And of course,

709
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: like none of anything she said ever stopped that tabloid

710
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: rumor mill Okay, nothing ever stops them. And in reports

711
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: came out that they were having knocked down jag out fights,

712
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: or that Kurt dumped Goldie on a phone call the

713
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 1: same week that Goldie had been shopping for engagement rings.

714
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 1: You know, it's all kinds of ship like that. The

715
00:41:54,960 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 1: Globe reported in that they were canceling their wedding. Oh no,

716
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: except there never was a wedding. There never was any ring,

717
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: There was never going to be a wedding. Okay, that

718
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 1: was all made up. That drove me extra crazy too,

719
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: because they tried to do this thing where oh well,

720
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: Goldie was wedding ring shopping, like this is all Kurt, Like,

721
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: Goldie's a woman, so she wants to get married, and

722
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 1: Kurt Kurt's stud and he wants to go out and

723
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 1: not be tied down. And that's such a cliche story

724
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: when in fact, when I'm researching this story, almost everything

725
00:42:28,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: I find about the explanation of their relationship comes from

726
00:42:31,160 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: Goldie Hawn, who's very emphatically against getting married. She almost

727
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: seems to be the dry I think Kurt Russell is

728
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,719
Speaker 1: totally into it as well, but she's the one articulating it. Yeah. Yeah,

729
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: Kurt and Goldie have long been one of Hollywood's sturdiest,

730
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 1: most passionate couples. Again, every time you see them they

731
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 1: look like they just had or they're about to go

732
00:42:50,280 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 1: again and time and again they attribute not getting married

733
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 1: to their strength. Goldie said quote, I'd long be divorced

734
00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: if we'd ever gotten married. If you need to feel

735
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: bound to someone, it's important to be married. So like,

736
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,960
Speaker 1: if you're the type of person who needs that paperwork

737
00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:09,879
Speaker 1: in place to know for sure that y'all they're good,

738
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: then yeah, you should get married. But she doesn't feel

739
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 1: the need for that piece of paper necessarily, or that

740
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: ceremony or whatever about it that does it for you psychologically.

741
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: She's like, I'm good. I don't need that. They feel

742
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 1: that they choose to be together every day and that

743
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 1: choice gives them strength and comfort, and it wasn't their

744
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: own personal family history that led to this. Goldie points

745
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: out that they both came from big, strong family units,

746
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 1: lots of siblings, loving parents, but that element of it,

747
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the family aspect, was the only part that was important

748
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,160
Speaker 1: to them, and they made sure that that stayed true

749
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 1: throughout their careers as Hollywood stars. She said, quote, we

750
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 1: talked about relationships and commonality early on, and we had

751
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: Nanny's no doubt about it. We've both been working, but

752
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: we are very present with our children. It's the same

753
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: way we grew up. Yeah, And again it's it's interesting because,

754
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 1: like you know, we present this in a very eye

755
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,839
Speaker 1: opening kind of way, right, a different way to look

756
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:09,839
Speaker 1: at marriages and things like that. I don't think she's

757
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 1: inherently right about everything she says here. I don't think

758
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 1: that people who choose to get married do it because

759
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: they need to feel locked in. They have to have

760
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: that formal paperwork. I mean some people get married for

761
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,440
Speaker 1: many different reasons. People don't get married for many different reasons. Um,

762
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,200
Speaker 1: which is sort of the whole point of the episode.

763
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: I think you're going to talk about And of course

764
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: it's not always easy. Uh, And when you're Kurt Russell

765
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: and Goldie Hawn, monogamy might be a little challenging. She

766
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: called it a tough order, monogamy being young and hot

767
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: and you know everybody wants to do you, and you know,

768
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: maybe you want to do some of them back. I

769
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: mean right, especially Goldie's like a hottie body, and it

770
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:58,480
Speaker 1: was Kurt. They clear got the drives to match. But

771
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 1: she told People Magazine that the key is how you

772
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 1: deal with that as a couple. She said, You've got

773
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: to accept it, and you've got to be honest. She said, quote,

774
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 1: it's like you really liked that guy, didn't you? Or

775
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: you were looking at her? But my answer would be,

776
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 1: of course, why not? She's beautiful? Would you want a

777
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 1: man who doesn't look, who doesn't feel inspired by the

778
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: beauty or the curves of a woman's body or the

779
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 1: way that she is. I mean, come on, we're human beings.

780
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 1: She described the relationship as needing elasticity in this way,

781
00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 1: and that if it gets stiff and dry like a

782
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 1: rubber band, it's going to break. I mean I kind

783
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: of agree with that. It seems silly to me to

784
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: be like, you don't have eyes in your head now

785
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: that you're married, and you can't see that someone's attractive

786
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: and be like, Wow, that person is attractive. I mean

787
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: it's different like chasing them across the parking lot to

788
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: get the phone number. That's a thing that is a

789
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: different behavior. But just to be like, oh, there was

790
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,200
Speaker 1: a hottie in the freaking grocery store checkoutline today is

791
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:55,919
Speaker 1: just like cool, hot, I'm glad you saw something worth

792
00:45:55,960 --> 00:46:00,440
Speaker 1: seeing today when you went out, right, Like to see

793
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: a hottie every now and then myself, Sure, sure, yeah,

794
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:08,239
Speaker 1: I need refreshing, you know. Yeah, check your partners, make

795
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: sure they're not leering, right, But be like, oh, you know,

796
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:16,240
Speaker 1: if I'll catch you know, your eyes across the table

797
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:17,880
Speaker 1: and turn around and be like, what what are you

798
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 1: seeing right now? Oh? I see? Yes? Server is like stunning, right?

799
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: Odd they are? You know, whoever it is, we can

800
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: agree on that that's something we enjoy together as a couple.

801
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 1: Very true. Uh So, yeah, we are definitely too gross

802
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: people creeping on you all out in public, but we

803
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: will not chase your cross lambarking no respect names the game.

804
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:51,120
Speaker 1: Kurt and Goldie performed together for only the fourth time

805
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: when Goldie was cast as Mrs Claws in the Christis Chronicles.

806
00:46:55,320 --> 00:47:01,120
Speaker 1: To Goldie said in an interview, I get a whole

807
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: different kind of Kurt when I work with him that

808
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: I don't get at home. He's so fun to work with,

809
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: not that he's not fun to be with, but I

810
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: see his generosity in a way you can only see

811
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: when he's working. That so true absolutely well, any work,

812
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:19,799
Speaker 1: sometimes you see it's that thing where you see someone

813
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,880
Speaker 1: being very good at what they do and whatever it is,

814
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: even if it's something boring, it can be really attractive

815
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 1: to shoot someone kind of in their element. And you're like,

816
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:30,399
Speaker 1: I have friends that I feel that way about, where

817
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: I'm like, together, we're just goofing off and being stupid.

818
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: But then like I see something professional you've together, and

819
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 1: I'm just so impressed by you, and I'm like so

820
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 1: excited to see you in that light. It's a totally

821
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,080
Speaker 1: different person and it's exciting, and you're like, that's my

822
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: friend or whatever. So I I just totally get that.

823
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 1: I mean, we have that working together. I see that

824
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 1: and you all the time. And yeah. She said she

825
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:55,919
Speaker 1: was doing a scene with Kurt in Christmas Chronicles Too,

826
00:47:56,440 --> 00:47:59,320
Speaker 1: where the camera was on him as Santa, and she

827
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: got so lost in the magic of him performing that

828
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 1: she completely forgot to deliver her line, which is awesome.

829
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 1: You must play a great Santa. We've only seen the

830
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 1: first one. We haven't seen this one yet, and it's

831
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: it's good. It's not my favorite Christmas movie, but it

832
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 1: was cute. Probably watched the second one just for them.

833
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:19,480
Speaker 1: Our Christmas movie this year was Klaus, and definitely watch

834
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: Klaus is gorgeous, hilarious. It's the Emperor's New Groove at Christmas. Basically,

835
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 1: it's a very similar movie, but it is. The animation

836
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 1: is incredible, the cast is fantastic, the story is beautiful.

837
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,480
Speaker 1: Watch it. It's so good. So Goldie Hawn said in

838
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:39,040
Speaker 1: an interview with James Gordon that she and Kurt Russell

839
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,839
Speaker 1: were recently in bed getting ready to get busy, when

840
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: they suddenly had this spark of an idea to watch

841
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,920
Speaker 1: Overboard together. They had never seen some couples are like,

842
00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,640
Speaker 1: let's put on a porn tape tonight, and they're like,

843
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,960
Speaker 1: let's look at ourselves as younger people. Well, they had

844
00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,439
Speaker 1: never seen it from beginning to end, and she said

845
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 1: it was so much fun. She said, quote, you know

846
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,640
Speaker 1: how sometimes you forget why you fell in love. I

847
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: remembered everything. It was really something to be able to

848
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 1: watch that. And they were just lying there in bed,

849
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 1: they had a glass of wine each and they were

850
00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: just complimenting each other. She said. Kurt kept turning her

851
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,960
Speaker 1: and being like, you did that so perfectly, that's so funny,

852
00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: You're amazing. And then she said, and that was a

853
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: huge turn on. And we're left to imagine what happened next.

854
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 1: Although don't imagine too hard. If you're driving right now again,

855
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 1: pull over, get to a safe place, get out of

856
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 1: the car, and go ahead and imagine. Take us some breaths.

857
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 1: But there's one thing a wedding gives you that is

858
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 1: tough to get anywhere else, and that is a solid

859
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: day where people come together to celebrate your relationship. It's true,

860
00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: it's true. That is one of the maiden reasons I

861
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:56,200
Speaker 1: think that we got married is just like, you know,

862
00:49:56,520 --> 00:50:00,239
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean that day is amazing, easing.

863
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: It's just like, because you're not going to walk around

864
00:50:02,600 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 1: telling everybody our relationship so great, where so special, that

865
00:50:05,360 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 1: compliment us, you know, but you're like, well, maybe for

866
00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,879
Speaker 1: one day, we will do that. It's really too bad

867
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 1: that we only save nice things to say about each

868
00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 1: other for special occasions, graduation or a wedding or something

869
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 1: like the funeral or a funeral when I'm not even

870
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: alive to hear all this nice ship. Hopefully nice sip

871
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: yourself happen between now and might be, I don't know,

872
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,880
Speaker 1: eighty years from now, you'll live forever, I hope. So

873
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 1: so yeah, don't we all want that for Goldie and Kurt.

874
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean, we all want to celebrate their fhip and

875
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: how wonderful it is. Unfortunately, they sort of got a

876
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: surrogate wedding ceremony in After thirty three years together at

877
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:56,359
Speaker 1: that point and nearly fifty years in show biz, they

878
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 1: received stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in a

879
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 1: special joint ceremony, and Kate Hudson was there as well

880
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,400
Speaker 1: as other stars and co workers like Quentin Tarantino and

881
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,800
Speaker 1: Goldie Hans super fan Reese Witherspoon, who said, quote every

882
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: career choice I've ever made, I would think, would Goldie

883
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: approve of this? And I have to stay legally blond.

884
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: Yes you would. Yeah, that would have been a Goldie

885
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: role if it have happened, you know, a couple of

886
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: decades earlier. Absolutely everyone was there to see the two

887
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: of them together. In the many forums, their partnership existed

888
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 1: from romantic to professional. Goldie joked, can we just get married?

889
00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:38,239
Speaker 1: We've never had a celebration like this before. When Kate

890
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 1: Hudson took the stage to speak, she said, quote, I

891
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,239
Speaker 1: was slotted to talk about my mother, but I have

892
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,480
Speaker 1: two parents and they're both here. I always thought i'd

893
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:48,320
Speaker 1: be talking about them at a wedding or something, but

894
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,520
Speaker 1: since the wedding doesn't seem to be in our near future,

895
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: this seems to be my only opportunity. And she continued

896
00:51:54,360 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 1: that the two of them always put their family first

897
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 1: and that despite their huge careers, they worked hard to

898
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,799
Speaker 1: meant a normalcy at home with their kids, and when

899
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: Kurt spoke, he said, quote, Goldie, to you, I owe

900
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:12,399
Speaker 1: my wonderful life. Simply put, Goldie, I cherish you all

901
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,439
Speaker 1: the stars in the sky or in the boulevard. Don't

902
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: hold a candle to that. There's no one else I'd

903
00:52:18,320 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 1: rather be next to than Goldie Hawn. I mean, what

904
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: more do you need more? It's beautiful. Also, just love

905
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:30,719
Speaker 1: that Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson had this great dad

906
00:52:30,760 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: in their life, because clearly, I mean with Oliver Hudson's

907
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: post about Happy Abandonment Day, clearly it's not something that

908
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:41,000
Speaker 1: they're like that you get over. I don't think it's

909
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: something you get over, right, But it's so nice to

910
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: know that there was somebody they are to be awesome

911
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,200
Speaker 1: to them and see their dad. I mean that's awesome. Yeah,

912
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: And I mean, you know, as somebody someone was Kurt,

913
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,280
Speaker 1: I was just gonna say, as somebody awesome goes Kurt Russell,

914
00:52:56,480 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: you could get less awesome than that. And I don't

915
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: agree with everything Kurt Russell's ever said or done, but

916
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 1: but he does seem like a guy who supports the

917
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: people he loves, uh, you know, cares more about his

918
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 1: family than work, you know, And for a guy whose

919
00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:19,160
Speaker 1: work is being Kurt Russell, that's a lot because love

920
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:23,120
Speaker 1: how often it seems to be such a joke in

921
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: the family like that, Goldie would be like, can we

922
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: just get married? All? Like she doesn't even want to,

923
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,239
Speaker 1: but you know she's willing to make a joker kid.

924
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: Hudson's like, I thought I didn't save it for a wedding,

925
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: but what wedding? Right am? I right? Like love they're

926
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 1: all they're all just always joking about it, right Yeah.

927
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,360
Speaker 1: And I will say, I mean it's so awesome that

928
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: it totally works for them, right right. Um, But I

929
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 1: will say, just speaking as a couple who were together

930
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,719
Speaker 1: for eight years, it was six years before we got

931
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:53,840
Speaker 1: engaged and then two more yeah, eight years before we

932
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 1: got married. Yeah, it took us a while to get

933
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: to that stage our relationship. And I know that we

934
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: talked about it several times and two we talked about

935
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:09,320
Speaker 1: it twice. Yeah yeah, I mean in earnest we you know,

936
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 1: as a serious conversation. Okay, Well, anyway, we talked about it,

937
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: and I think, yeah, it's for for a while, it

938
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 1: wasn't really a big problem one way or another, because

939
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: it did feel, like Goldie says, You're just like, what

940
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,040
Speaker 1: what do I need that for? If we're happy? We're happy.

941
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't know if I need any proof of that happy, right,

942
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: But there did come a point for me at least.

943
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I certainly got to

944
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 1: a point where I was like, I don't know why,

945
00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 1: but I really need something. Might just be society brainwashing

946
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 1: me and it's working, I don't know, but I I

947
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 1: really feel like I need another stage. And I don't

948
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: know why, but it just feels like like nothing to

949
00:54:47,080 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: me right now. It's just happening because we happened to

950
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:51,720
Speaker 1: be stuck together, but not because we want to be together.

951
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 1: I guess, is how it felt or something. I don't know.

952
00:54:55,160 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: I can't. I wish I could have better words for it,

953
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: but I proposed unprompted. Oh it did happen for me

954
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:05,720
Speaker 1: to you know, um, But you know, we just decided

955
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: that was what we wanted to do next. And I

956
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:09,360
Speaker 1: think that's all it really comes down to. There's not

957
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:11,279
Speaker 1: really a whole lot of analysis to go around it.

958
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 1: At a certain point, at least for me, I was like,

959
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 1: it's not something I feel like I need or want

960
00:55:17,480 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 1: right now. And then then later I did, you know,

961
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: and not in such a way of like, well I

962
00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:26,160
Speaker 1: want it now, but then later it might change back again,

963
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,560
Speaker 1: but rather and I think this is hugely important when

964
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 1: you're talking about marriage, an absolute certainty that yeah, I'm

965
00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: good with this now and I know that I will

966
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: not want to change that in the future. And that

967
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 1: is something you can only know to a certain degree,

968
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 1: of course, because things change, people change, blah blah blah,

969
00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: but that you can still have that certainty. And to me,

970
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,800
Speaker 1: I think being together for six years before we decided

971
00:55:56,840 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 1: we want to get married was important because if you

972
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 1: get married earlier before you're certain, then you know you're

973
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for potentially a divorce, which or feeling

974
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: locked together in something that you didn't want. And so

975
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,160
Speaker 1: that's why I think that people should take their time

976
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: with it. I really think. And you may know, you

977
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 1: may know a year and a half or sooner. There

978
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 1: are people who I mean, there's plenty of just like

979
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: success stories where a month went by and we're new

980
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: and we're still happy years later after many children. So

981
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: it's very true. No one can put a timeline on it,

982
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 1: and nothing and it might be it might be a

983
00:56:33,760 --> 00:56:36,840
Speaker 1: long time before you know. I mean, there's just no

984
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 1: right answer. Nothing about our relationships specifically changed. It was

985
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:46,640
Speaker 1: just well, I remember we were in Orlando and having

986
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:48,920
Speaker 1: one of the best trips we've ever had, of our

987
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: many wonderful trips. And I remember thinking on that trip,

988
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,439
Speaker 1: and I knew that you were interested in getting married.

989
00:56:55,560 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 1: You'd meant, like I said, You'd mentioned it a few times,

990
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: but were never pushy about it or know. I wasn't

991
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: like picking out a ring. No, you were just like,

992
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: that would be nice. Probably if that was the thing

993
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,960
Speaker 1: that happened. I'd be happy for what happened. I knew

994
00:57:06,960 --> 00:57:10,440
Speaker 1: you'd say yes, it was pretty certain. Um, But I

995
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 1: definitely thought on that trip, you know what, Yeah, yeah,

996
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 1: I'm not going to turn around on this and uh,

997
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: and started thinking about it and figuring out what to do.

998
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:22,920
Speaker 1: And then I got a ring from my mom, from

999
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,120
Speaker 1: my great great great grandmother. We don't know exactly when

1000
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: it's from, but a long time ago. Yeah, and uh,

1001
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 1: and then carried it around for a little while before

1002
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,400
Speaker 1: Christmas proposal, which brings us right back to I was

1003
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 1: going to say, Christmas is very special for us because

1004
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 1: you did propose on Christmas. It was it was a

1005
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: banner year at our house because I had I had

1006
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: bought him a PlayStation four, which is my big gift,

1007
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: and she's here thinking, oh, I guess. And so I

1008
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: had an envelope in the tree with tickets to Patton Oswalt.

1009
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: That was one of my gifts friend of the show,

1010
00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 1: Patton Oswalt. And then I had this PlayStation four game

1011
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: that was going to make you open and then you

1012
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:03,360
Speaker 1: were going to say, and you did it perfectly. You

1013
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 1: didn't know, but you did it perfectly. You were going

1014
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: to say, oh, babe, this is a PlayStation four game.

1015
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,760
Speaker 1: I have a PlayStation three. And I'm like, oh ship,

1016
00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:12,000
Speaker 1: oh my, I'm so stupid. I don't even look like

1017
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,320
Speaker 1: I just need you in the game. Whatever, we'll just

1018
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: go return. I was all miffed about it, and then

1019
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:20,680
Speaker 1: you opened up your play and it was a trick.

1020
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 1: I said, what the hell is wrong with you? I

1021
00:58:25,120 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: thought I was going to have to go make a return.

1022
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: Horrible something in the world. Yeah. So, so I had

1023
00:58:32,040 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: also hung your present in the tree and did a

1024
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 1: hotter cold thing. I was like, your present is in

1025
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,439
Speaker 1: the tree too, but you got to find it hot cold,

1026
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: hot cold. And then you finally found this sparkly ancient

1027
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:49,840
Speaker 1: ring on the branch, so cute, and yeah, and later

1028
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: I was real nervous. Yeah, because you said you hung

1029
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: a present the tree, and it's like, oh, I don't

1030
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: want you to. I didn't want her to find it

1031
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 1: and be like, what the fund is this ring? For

1032
00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 1: this come? I don't wonder if I would have put

1033
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,320
Speaker 1: it together. And I'm not sure because I wasn't expecting it,

1034
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:07,919
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure. Was this in the ORNAMENTO is this? Yeah?

1035
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: I guess it looks nice? Hook fell off? I don't know,

1036
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: but yeah. And then when I pulled it, I was

1037
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: like this and I turned around and he was on

1038
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,280
Speaker 1: one knee and it was so cute one knee? Did

1039
00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: are you mad about it? It's not my style? Well,

1040
00:59:26,480 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: I guess it is. It's certainly was. And then after

1041
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 1: we did get married, I think we both remarked that

1042
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:39,800
Speaker 1: we felt a really strong bond, like even after eight

1043
00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: years of being together, we did have a honeymoon phase

1044
00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: kind of where everything was just so sparkly and lovely

1045
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: and everything felt great, and you know, it was I know,

1046
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:51,880
Speaker 1: where's that energy? But you know what I mean? It

1047
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,680
Speaker 1: was just it was like, even though it's something that

1048
00:59:54,760 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 1: seems like stupid, silly, outdated tradition, and certainly is for

1049
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: many people, it can actually have an effect on you psychologically,

1050
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,800
Speaker 1: I guess because it did to me anyway. It's like,

1051
01:00:05,880 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I feel really special right now. Just we felt very special,

1052
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,840
Speaker 1: I guess. And I think all that together with Curtain

1053
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,439
Speaker 1: Goldie story sort of side by side, you can see

1054
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: that it is different for everyone, and people have different

1055
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 1: needs and people get different things out of their relationship.

1056
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,520
Speaker 1: I think that Goldie and Kurt have their own version

1057
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,720
Speaker 1: of like a honeymoon phase or whatever, and maybe it

1058
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: was their way of understanding of coming to a point

1059
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: in their relationship where they said, no, yeah, this is

1060
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 1: forever and we just know that. And we I do

1061
01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:39,800
Speaker 1: like that idea if we choose that every day, you know,

1062
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,200
Speaker 1: I wake up in the morning, and it's not about

1063
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: being free to choose not to do it, but it's

1064
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,800
Speaker 1: rather about finding excitement in saying, wow, damn, I chose

1065
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 1: again another day, and every day becomes this like decision

1066
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 1: that you're making. And I can see the strengthen that

1067
01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 1: I can see why that's, you know, a passionate thing

1068
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,640
Speaker 1: for them well, and it's such a thing to take

1069
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 1: with you even if you're not, even if you are

1070
01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: married to say, every day you wake up and you

1071
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: do choose that person because you choose not to divorce them.

1072
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you do, so it is nice to think

1073
01:01:11,200 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: of it that way. And every day I'm choosing you

1074
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: and I'm choosing our life together. And some days it's that.

1075
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's every day I'm choosing today, I chose to

1076
01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 1: be with you, and I love that. And then other

1077
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 1: days it's like, I chose, I chose this, I think

1078
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:30,640
Speaker 1: about this was my decision, and continues to be well,

1079
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: we all live with our choices, don't we. I'm going

1080
01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 1: to go home and only think about my choices. And

1081
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,280
Speaker 1: then she says something hilarious. You're like good choice, good choice,

1082
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:48,480
Speaker 1: because she does. She says hilarious things. Um, both Diana

1083
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: and Goldie Han hilarious partners. If I can get to

1084
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Goldie Hans standards, I'll be very happy. Well, I just

1085
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: hope that the warm of Goldie Han and Kurt Russell

1086
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: carries you through this winter, or if you're one of

1087
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: our listeners in the Southern Hemisphere, I hope the coolness

1088
01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: of Russell and Goldie Han keeps you chilled through the summer.

1089
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Either way, they got the temperature for you. That's right. Yes,

1090
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:24,040
Speaker 1: they're both hot and very cool. Yes, um so yeah,

1091
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: this is a fun, sweet story to talk about for

1092
01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 1: for the holiday season. Again, another perspective just kind of

1093
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: we call it ridiculous, but it's just a different a

1094
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 1: different way to live, a different way to love. Totally.

1095
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,000
Speaker 1: That's kind of a running theme in this show, I think,

1096
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 1: And if you're interested, we did want to do an

1097
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 1: episode on the actual Santa and Mrs Claus, but Mrs

1098
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 1: Claus was like added to the legend of Santa and

1099
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 1: like the fifties or something by like a child's children's

1100
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: book author or something like that, and it's not that

1101
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: exciting of a story, unfortunately. I guess they were just

1102
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:00,080
Speaker 1: kind of like, man, this old man just live in

1103
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: a house. A bunch of elves, give him a wife,

1104
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 1: so it don't seem like a pervert for children breaking

1105
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:10,360
Speaker 1: into houses. He's got several names, Santa Claus, uh st Nick,

1106
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: you know whatever, you want to call him, Father, Christmas.

1107
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: What's her name? How about Mrs She don't even have

1108
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:22,400
Speaker 1: a first name. She does in Santa Claus three, that's

1109
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Mitchell, who, bless her heart, is really given it

1110
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:30,800
Speaker 1: all in that movie, which is a weird movie and

1111
01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: it's a weird movie. Well, in the original story, he

1112
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: didn't act her name. She's just Mrs Claus and she

1113
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 1: bakes cookies and she's that's it. Well, and I looked

1114
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,040
Speaker 1: up St. Nicholas to see what's there. Although you know

1115
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:48,640
Speaker 1: saints classically unmarried people but famously unmarried. But St. Nicholas

1116
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 1: I heard was, you know this old man who The

1117
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 1: one story I found was that there was like a

1118
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: classic farmer were three daughters kind of situation, and they

1119
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: didn't have a dowry, so none of them could get married, so,

1120
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: you know, they were all going to starve, and St. Nicholas,

1121
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 1: this guy Nicholas came by the house and in the

1122
01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: dead of night he would just throw pouches of gold

1123
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: into the window because he was independently wealthy and he

1124
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: didn't he didn't so he just wanted to give them

1125
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,520
Speaker 1: and he just wanted to give them, so he yeah,

1126
01:04:17,600 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 1: he tossed gold through the window at night and they

1127
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: woke up and they were like, oh my god, we

1128
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: have money. The daughters were all married off, the family thrived. Um.

1129
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: But I couldn't find anything about those daughters beyond that legend.

1130
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: So it's like, well, it's not a full episode. But man,

1131
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 1: too bad Santa doesn't show a bag of gold. Now

1132
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 1: I could put that in my Christmas letter. Dear Santa.

1133
01:04:38,760 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: Parents are like, please don't promise a lot of gold. Okay,

1134
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 1: it was enough to get the remote control car. Look,

1135
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 1: a bag of gold might be cheaper than a PlayStation

1136
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 1: five right now? So that is so true. We need

1137
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,760
Speaker 1: to check the price of the exchange. What's gold worth

1138
01:04:53,840 --> 01:05:00,160
Speaker 1: these days? So point zero zero zero one? Have a

1139
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: bitcoin to me? Santa left you thirty eight thousand doge coin. Wow,

1140
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,760
Speaker 1: he really cheaped out this year. Santa must be baroake.

1141
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: Santa could not hold it to the moon. Oh well,

1142
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:22,240
