Oh my goodness, Hello and welcome to Laura Kane after Dark. We are in the final few days. It's wedding week in my world. Charlie and Maya getting married on Sunday, so I have Oh my god, I have so much to tell you about. I'm Laura Kane. This is Laura Kane after Dark. This is Eric Grimmer, my favorite, and I love you and your ad is totally in the way. I have lots of things to show you and read you and you know it for you, but they're coming

on Thursday. This is like wedding related and I really need your advice on a few things and a few things I think you'll like wedding related. Yes, this is not one of the dresses, and is it. No, I'll explain. I'll explain this in a minute. Okay. I have stories about the wedding prep. I have dresses to show you. I'm just gonna show I'm not not wearing them, but I'm gonna show you which one I think I'm gonna wear. Okay. I have a fun thing to show you

regarding the wedding. What my son has asked me to do for the wedding, and I want to run by you. The toast that I'm going to give, I'm gonna read it. Charlie is so busy, and plus I don't think he partakes in this podcast anyway, so there's only no risk of him hearing this beforehand. But I want to get your take on it, okay, and is as good as mine my toast? Did chat GPT write it? Not at all? I wouldn't know. Okay, you mentioned that last week, and you know what, I would not do that. I'm

going to speak from the heart. But you're gonna like my twist, I think, But I need your advice. Okay, Okay, we have the Double D. Yes, we do. We have a movie premiere we do that you guys are review that you guys both saw. Yes, I have some information about the psychic world and about this week that my psychic told me, which I didn't get a reading it, but I have. It's it's kind of interesting. Maybe we'll talk to her on Thursday because it's weird and

we have something we forgot to play last week. I was just thinking about that today. We totally got so wrapped up in each other. We sure did like we always do. So before we get to our sponsors, and all of this wedding stuff that I have to share with you. Let's play our secret sound now if you guess this on our Facebook page, on Instagram, on YouTube in the comments Laura Cane after dark ad, however you get a hold of its? One hundred dollars is the prize? What is this

secret sound? Let's see I remember which buttons on? Okay, nope, no, it's good, it's okay. You know what taking this? No, that's the wedding music. Oh boy, fire, I think you took off the secret sound. Oh I thought you had on the computer mother mother above. Is there any way to get it right now? Or should we just wait till thursday? Okay, it's on your phone, isn't it? My phone's right here. I'm doing Instagram. That's what it sounds like.

Has anyone gotten close? Uhs? Someone got kind of in the area closer than I've gotten. Yes, we Okay, here's how I'm taking this week, not day by day, but hour by hour, just because there's a lot going on. So this secret sound thing fail, no big deal? Right, well, let it slide for today. Yeah, go check out older episodes to hear it. Yeah, exactly, that's so smart and then we'll play it on thirst. Just not last week because we forgot. I

know last week we completely completely forgot. But anyway, it's just a fun little thing. You can blame it on me being here like at seven oh two. No, I'm gonna blame it on myself because usually right down that's thinks so much better. I'm gonna take full responsibility before we get to our sponsors. Do you feel like, no, you're not going to do that. We're not. I was gonna say, we're gonna pick a tarot card.

I have one of these like easy tarot cards to do. Okay, this is how this week is going to be for each one of us. Okay, now let me take my cheap tarot cards where we only get to pick one. These are this is the easy pack where it's not real like uh, convoluted, it's really easy. Okay, So I'm gonna end I saw twice this week, Renee, she calls me your boyfriend. Oh,

everybody loves you. Jesus, she's so sweet. Okay, Hi, Renee, Now this is what you have to do with taro and whatever good intentions, let this deck speak the truth, nothing but good intentions and love coming from my heart onto these cards and here we go. Now, yeah, we have to ask you a question, though you each have to ask it a question. She asked, how the w wegging's going to go? Number one, don't tell me what to do because I might start crying. I

think you should do, but you're free not to do. Now. Of course I could ask you about the wedding. That's the biggest thing of my sass. Love you too. You know what all I'm going to say is be prepared for a lot of different emotions coming up. Uh oh, it's it hit me. I went down to Mexico today to get my nails done because it's like thirty dollars there to get acrylics, and they look really pretty, very classy. I got my teeth done in Mexico too, But I

don't even remember the point of the story. All right, let's just draw the taro car. This is how, this is how it's happening. I have so much on my mind before I leave for Portland. Okay, you guys each think of a question. I have a feeling we're going to have a wardrobe malfunction before the evening's over. Yeah, I'll explain this dress and I'll I have other things to share. All right, now, Eric, close your eyes, Okay, I want you to think very seriously about a

question. Okay, Okay, Now run your hands over this deck. I'm holding it. Whatever just kind of speaks to you, okay, and then hand it to me. Okay, Okay. I love how seriously you're taking this. Okay, First of all, what was your question? My question? Yeah? So I can so we can turn this over and see what it says. I didn't know I had to do a question. What were you thinking about? Just now? Just what cards spoke to me? All

right? All right, so you picked the the eight of pinnacles, find work life balance to protect your creativity, Education, detail, perseverance, overly careful apprenticeship, talent, high standards, skills, rebirth, settled decisions, practicality, contribution. Does that speak to you at all? Yes? Really? Yes? Okay, Brian, you're going to use my energy. No, No, I'm gonna fan the cards out a little more and I will give them an ocular path down. Okay, put your finger in the middle.

Go one. Yeah that one? Okay, here it is didn't speak to me, but I just looked at it. Did you have a question. Oh yeah, okay, what was what's your question? I would say it's a secret. Well, I want to see how the card answers it. Okay, what's the rest of twenty twenty four gonna look like? Okay, you picked the Orange Man, you picked the the Six of Pentacles.

Okay. Sharing your success builds more success in quotes, giving, receiving, fairness, justice, generosity, sharing, influence, nobility, harmony, alignment, healing, empathy. Not good at that one, I know. So maybe it's telling you, actually, I'm very good at empathy. I'm terrible at sympathy, though I wouldn't say you were great at empathy as far as i'm empathy is just knowing how other people's other people feel, and sympathy is actually caring. Oh okay, well anyway, I am sympathetic, but not

on the show. It's just telling you to be a little bit more like, share your talent, be more giving. All right, twenty twenty four is gonna suck. And obviously you know what my question is. Yes, I'll just say it out loud. How is this wedding week going to be for the bride and groom and for my family? I got bad energy from that one the Nina swords nine swords a wedding that's not too many swords.

Worrying, changes, nothing, decide your next step, Anxiety, anguish, hopelessness, worry, captivity, and it says, in order to conquer these strength, selflessness, deeper meaning optimism. I have all those things right now. That was infuriatingly relevant to m HM. Okay, so there's that. Now, let's do our fabulous sponsors before we move on to the wedding toast that I need your guys's advice on and the dresses I'm thinking about wearing again.

The wedding is Sunday in Portland. But let's talk about Skidada. Yes, yes, this is important. I'm part of it. It's September seventh. I'm the MC. It's my second year doing it. It's a five k walk for research for SCAD, which is a very little known heart They don't know how this happens, but it's a heart attack that happens in healthy women under the age of fifty. I want you talk about the walk and I'll talk about what SCAT all right, you do that? Okay, So

spontaneous coronary artery dissection. That's why it's SCAT is a little known, poorly understood cause of art attack. Most patients are young, healthy, active women, and they don't have typical risk factors of heart disease. It can also affect men, but women are mostly affected. It can reoccur, it could be fatal. Research is desperately needed, and this is what the walk is raising money for, is the research. Last year it was really a whole

lot of fun talk about the walk. So our timed five k run walk takes place on the east side of Crown Point Park in San Diego on Mission Bay. Enjoy the course along the bay on the Bay side walkway wards will be given to the overall winner male and female.

Go to the glamfam dot com. Okay, thank you guys for being sponsors of the podcast. We so appreciate it, we really do. This podcast is going to be wedding talk heavy because as a mother, three things are very big in your life. When your child is born, when your child gets married, and when your child has a child. These are three monumental moments in your lifetime. This is a monumental moment and I'm feeling it in all sorts of crazy ways. Like my baby boy, who is just

right here. He was just here, my baby boy, kind of your baby. You helped raise him. I know he's getting married, man, I know, and it's to a person. I couldn't have picked a better mate for him. Yeah, she's very sweet, the best, her family, incredible, lucky, lucky, lucky. I could say enough good things. But a lot of prep has gone on over the last couple of months

and weeks. So I want to show you the three dresses I've narrowed it down to, and I want you to be honest, I haven't I'm not going to try him on, but I just want to show him to you. Let's start there. Okay, this stress that I'm wearing right now, I bought on sale from a website. It came in the mail, and I'm like, Okay, I'm in my fifties. I have no business wearing this to a wedding, to a shower, period, anywhere outside. I look like I'm fourteen years old. Well, this is this is ridiculous.

That's why I wore tonights. It's so dumb. Well, this is my question. When you saw it? Yeah online, I'm assuming yes, was this here? Yes? But it wasn't. As I'm taking your computer away again. The theme of the wedding is garden party, and I thought it was a pretty color. But like, I have no business wearing this. So I thought you were going to like the opening of a peptobismo plank or

something. Believe me, I know it's awful. It's beyond I feel like singing on the good Ship Lollipop. It's a nice trip to the candy shop. I mean, it looks like Arbie Gone Rogue. I'm not I'm not wearing this one. Thank It's like a waitress of the Mexican restaurant. Okay, so this dress garden party. It's chill smallish Portland outside evening time covered. These are the basics, okay, okay, so then I picked this one from Amazon, and then because it's garden party floral, and then I

thought, wait, oh too casual? Yeah, too loud? It is nice, it is a little too casual. Also, it's mostly white. Now are you that's a no? Are you planning on returning these? These all have tags on them still? Yes? Okay, I could wear this to the shower. But is it that's a good shower dress? What are your thoughts on that he hates? I think he just hates the it period. Is it a single strap? Yes? Oh yeah, it's kind of weird. Okay, So this one is one of the ones that yeah,

I know, I know, I know. Having only one strap that style dress throws me. Can I just set fire to it? No, I need to return it. Okay. Here are the two that if I see that on a hangar in a year, you won't Okay, I'm either gonna wear this one or the next one. Now, this one also has one strap, but it's different. Okay. I liked that one. Okay, it's long, Yes, one strap, hmm, it looks better on sure, it's got a slit, but the slit is not too high. It's

comfortable, pretty green color, very not sexy, not overpowering. There's that. Okay, the colors a little thrown me off a little bit, but it is very garden party evening. Yes, let's see. The next one's fine, but here's the thing. I'm gonna need to see shoes, and I'm gonna need to see accessories. I know. No, I don't want any white thigh high go go boosts. Oh no, I know. Okay, I might not be that smart, but I'm not that dumb to wear boots too. Is my son's waiting, Okay, I just wanted to make

sure here's the number one choice so far. Thoughts, please and believe me. This looks pretty good on and it makes my body look good but not too sexy and yo oh no, oh no, but trust me, I like it. It looks it's flowers. I know it looks like Dowdy right now, but like on, it's just below the knee. I'm gonna need the powers and it's it looks like a large doily or a table runner in an old I think it looks good, it has potential. I'll try it on, but Okay, this dress, the number one dress so far,

is the cheapest one of the bunch. Tamu, thank you very much to do that. Yeah, it just reminds me of it like a lace doily at like an old lady's house. That's true, but I think it looks fine after the podcast when I tried it on. Then tell me what I think, because your your opinion matters most out of anybody else's because you're the stylist of the group. Yeah. Yeah, I'll have to see it. So there's that now. Charlie asked me the following question. He said,

Hey, Mom, would you do as a favor? Sure, I'll do anything, Charlie. Well, for Christmas, I gave him an old camcorder that I used to film all his baby stuff and Evan's baby stuff, and I refurbished it and I gave it to him. He goes, you know that cam quarter you gave me for Christmas? Yes, I think it'd be cool to take video of our vows and stuff on that camera. Will you be the videographer? I'm like, I will. I'll do anything for you,

Charlie. Then I start thinking about it. I'm going to be witnessing my son's wedding through a viewfinder, like right, I'm working my son's way. I'm not the mother of the groom. I am a I am working it. You're a working girl. But I'm going to do it because he asked me to. If it's important to him, exactly yes, and he as as expected. I talked to him today. He's the stress level is very, very high, and I said, it's very normal. All every

couple goes through this. You're the week before is a very stressful time, and don't worry about it. Okay. So then I start thinking about the toast. It's very important something to say about the couple. And anyway here, I want to read you what I'm going to say, and I want your thoughts because I want to make it kind of light and funny in some parts. Her family has a great sense of humor and they're fun and then

my family does too. So this is what I've written so far. I mean, I'll say some nice, sweet things, how much I love their love, blah blah, you know this and this and that. Then I'm gonna say the following, Hey, Maya, did you know this about Charlie. I'm gonna tell her I'm gonna tell the cock story. I'm telling the Shrek story at the end. I'm gonna wait and see how the audience. But I'll save that for the end. But I told that last week instead

of cartoons and Teletubbies and stuff like that. When Charlie was two and three, he would spend hours in front of the TV watching a super dry, super old, very boring documentary about Half Dome. It was the most boring, dry thing you've ever seen. The kid would sit there for hours and be glued to that. We couldn't understand it. We just didn't get it. He's a little kid, he's like two and three, Like, what's so interesting about that? Turns out my son loves to climb. He's a

nature boy. It started early when he was five or six. He picked up something from the floor of the grocery store one day. He took it home, drew a face on it, and made a little friend. I was horrified when he finally showed it to me that night. It was a wrapped, unused tampon, and he made his little friend, drew a face on it, and we made a little song called Tampy the damp On. I would not tell that story. Okay, there's that little fun factory.

When Charlie's very first word was not mama, It wasn't data, it wasn't poo poo, it wasn't anything like that. It was bird. What little kid can pronounce bird and nosebird? But that's an interesting little factoid. The first word he ever spelled was mom, but he spelled it oh m o oh mo. I will always remember the little writing, the scribbling. When he was eight, our neighbor when we lived in Kensington cut down a huge

tree that was growing next to our house. When Charlie got home from school that day, he dropped to his knees after he saw that the tree was gone, put his head in his hands and mourned and sobbed. He was eight. He loved that tree, and I knew from that point on, like this kid is connected to nature. Then this one. In second grade, his Catholic school teacher, sister Kathleen, had the kids memorize and perform a poem in front of class and parents. Most kids chose Doctor Seuss or

shel Silverstein or no, not Charlie. Charlie memorized and proudly recited this gem by Stephen crane again. Second grade. In the desert, I saw a creature, naked bestial, who squatting upon the ground, held his heart in his hands and ate of it. I said, is it good, friend? It is bitter, bitter, he answered, But I like it because it is bitter and because it is my heart. The parents it was silent. They awkwardly clapped. I looked at sister Kathleen. She was white as

a ghost, and she just about passed out. What the heck was? Where was I when this is going? Oh? And then finally this one. When I was pregnant with Evan, Charlie was four, we finished watching a beautiful movie about a whale when I fell asleep on the recliner with him on my lap. When I woke up, Charlie was still on my lap, wide awake, sitting upright, his eyes wide to my horror, the end credits to the movie The Ring We're scrolling across the stream. He watched

the entire thing alone while I was this, Oh my god. Thus began our scary movie club. He saw Jaws, Poultergeist, and The Exorcists before he was the age of six. Other good movies they are, but we and so and then I'll say some nicer things. But like, anyway, what are your thoughts on like the fun Charlie factoids out with the tampon. I don't think it's it's kind of cute. You just think it's gross because because it's a female thing. Yeah, you fine. I mean I don't

think it's like hilarious, but it's it's not bad. I think the other ones are better, but I think it's still good. I think the other ones are better. Okay, does the Shrek story stay or go? Did you didn't even tell the Shrek story I did on the podcast last week? What was he just called? You don't want to say? Cock? Cock and tampon is probably not two things that you don't want to know. I think it's a great time to embarrass him. I mean, that's what you

genuinely did. It's just so innocent and sweet. And he was so little and he loved Shrek but he couldn't say Shrek, so he'd ask for it in the grocery store by saying, Mama, I want to see cock. I think that's funny. That's what I said when I was a kid. But check hadn't even come out yet, and that's something different. Okay, So those are just some notes that have scribbled down. And then he caught I talked him today and he goes, Mom, I want you to do

a toast. I'm like, Charlie, done, already done, and he goes, but I want. I think it should be short. I'm like, all right, listen, kid, I've been in this business of talking for thirty years. I know when to cut it short and when the crowd is not into it, trust me, I will do that. But I have some things I want to say. And then I want Maya's mom to tell me some funny things about Maya so I can she can do the same things that I'm doing. Oh is that a funny idea? Yeah, that's

good. One more thing about the wedding, and then we'll get to double D. I bought this because I thought it would be cool for their little

guest book. Have you heard of this idea where guests take pictures on this little baby polaroid and then they stick them in the guest books and then they write, by then picture, so let's take a picture of us, you guys see if this I've been like trying to properly figure out the right lighting, because I went through like, already here we go, you and me, here's the little selfie thing ready one, two three, So you have to sit and wait for it to develop and everything. But guess he's going

to probably have to man the guest book me as well. But I'm okay with God. You're going to be an octopus? Is this thing? No? So I got that? No? What else do I need to talk about? That's it? Did I talk about? Oh yeah, I talked about that. Okay, So now let's cue the double D music because Eric has some double D that's his gig. We do it every Monday Tuesday show. Doesn't come, Oh my god? Really? Oh there, Hello, my baby, Oh my little man's here. Look at that just comes and

lays it right down. I had him in the room for a reason, Oh my baby. All right. So, lots of sad news in Hollywood this week. It's been nothing but tragedy. Shelley Devall passed away from the Shining and the movie Popeye. Oh was she seventy something? Next thing? Yeah, I think Shannon Doherty passed away from cancer. She'd been battling it for a while. She was fifty three years old. Really hold on quick pause. Actually looks like our cameras off. Oh, like all we're stuck

in a frozen position. And are you too, I know, Okay, we're an audio podcast. Now keep going, all right, no problem. Doctor Ruth the Sex Doctor died at ninety six. Wow, good long life. Yeah, And Richard Simmons passed away at seventy six years old. Now do we know the cause of death yet? They haven't released it. But I saw today that hell in his bathroom and declined to have any help.

So I'm not sure what that was about. But he's been reclusive for years now, so I don't I don't really know if it was, which is so strange because he was so full of life, so about people, so about entertainment, so like energetic, and then boom vanished just you know, kind of vanished without a trace. And there was all sorts of things about, like his housekeeper holding him hostage, all that, yes, all that crazy stuff. And so yes, she was seventy five, actually not seventy

six, and she passed away due to complications from diabetes. Do you remember the movie Nashville? No, Oh, she was in that, you know, she was. She had I watched a documentary on the Shin and she almost quit show business because of how she was treated by Stanley Kubrick. Yeah, she got a good performance. Guys. There is a documentary about Stanley Kubrick and it it's basically about how they believe he was hired by the government to fake the moonland Oh yeah, that's old news. But there's like all

these like clues in the shining. It was just it was pretty interesting, though, that's an old No, he didn't. I was like, we didn't have the technology to fake the moon landing when the moon landing happened. Yeah, anyway, Yeah, I think I talked about this a couple of weeks ago right after I saw her, because she said it during the show. But I saw Ellen DeGeneres in her last stand up routine and she is done with show business, wants her Net Flicks special airs this year. She's

done. Is that that similar to something that the thing that you saw at Bubble Theater? Yeah, it's the exact same it is, ok Yeah, I think they were even shooting part of it for that okay thing. I'm sure no one likes her anymore is the bigger problem. And if all that stuff about the toxic workplace and working at Ellen was is untrue. That's really

sad that that just killed her career. Yeah, it's probably not untrue as the problem, but on the she just seems so nice and giving and wonderful, and that show is so incredibly popular and sure, but that's the only the audience facing perspective. But you know, it was funny because I went to a taping of the show and when when the you know, when the commercials were being run, she would not speak to anybody. She just sat there and she didn't act with the audience. She didn't do anything. Was

there like dancing in between the commercials? Okay? Nothing? She her you know, the makeup artists would come up and touch up her makeup, and her producer would come over, but she wouldn't acknowledge the audience. She didn't do anything. Hm hm. So last bit of news is the new bon Jovi album may set a record for being terrible. It spent only one week on the Billboard two hundred and fell off. That's too bad because I was

really pulling for him. He had vocal cord surgery and they said he was never going to sing again, and then he put out this album, and then row Yeah, not good. He'll never be living on a prayer like that. His best song. That's a great song. Bon Jovi is great. Yeah, and then we have a couple of things to talk about. Oh yeah, the movie review. Oh my god, So Brian and I both saw Long Legs and Long Legs is a scary movie because it is deemed

the scariest movie of twenty twenty four. Okay, it got almost one hundred percent approval on Rotten Tomatoes. That's amazing. I think it has dropped down since audience reviews have come out. I think it's like an eighty nine or something. Yeah, it was. I'll say this, and then I would love to hear Brian Wayhan. I heard it was extremely terrifying. It was like a mix between Silence of the Lambs and Seven Great. Both were movies that I enjoyed a lot. Seven scared the Jesus out of me, and

I thought, okay, I went in with high hopes. I heard the reviews are really good, the performances were good. It was just it kind of fell apart in the third act and I just didn't get it. Were you scared at all? Not at all? Not a good I was mainly bored. Oh god, and the people were saying, oh my god, it's uber violent, like it's so gory, and I was like, no, it wasn't. Like I was like, I don't know what movie you

all saw, but I didn't think it was did you. There is a couple of scenes of violence and they are gory, but I it's not. It's not like a Gore movie. No, not at all. And it happens really quick and kind of from a distance, so it's not like it's these lingering close ups or anything like that. So, yeah, it was really strange. Did you enjoy it, Brian, Yeah, so I think it is really I think it's a really good movie. It is not scary

at least I did not. I was not scared it. I mean, I'm not really scared, but like I wasn't even like I think also the movie is too damn good for me to be scared by it, because even the scenes are supposed to be scary. I was just like, this is phenomenal, Like this is so well, you know, compared like Shot the Lightning is perfect. I was to an offer it to be like actually scary. There are some definitely some scenes that are more creepy and some shots that

are pretty well set up and creepy looking. It's not scary. Also, I think the biggest problem is the movie needs to be longer. It's only like an hour and thirty minutes and forty minutes. It really should be a full two hours. I think it would have been better. I don't think the third act is terrible, and that's where things where it starts to kind of explain the point, and it definitely doesn't live up to the mystery it sets up. But I still think it's I still think the ending is unfulfilling

too. I don't. Yeah, ending is kind of unsatisfied. It's very creepy and dark and the brooding. Yeah, it's you don't come out of it feeling good at all. Okay, I didn't think it was. I didn't think it was that bad. It is. It is definitely has a darker atmosphere, yeah, which I think it does really well with. But it is. It is a fantastic movie, and Nicholas Cage gives a stellar performance in Is. He was very very even though make her Mom Row,

she was good. She was very good, and she was great, and so was the woman that played the mother Alicia Wit and then Blair underwo who's the other cop? Was really good. We need to touch on now we're not a political show. That's not our niche. However, we need to talk about what happened to Trump and what we were talking about before the show started. So there was an assassination attempt two days ago yesterday. Now do

you have any current information about like is he he got hit? He's fine, So it clipped just the upper part of his year, okay, and then he's still going strong. Apparently there was like some picture that is like epic great picture. How's Joe Biden? Have they like lately? Yeah, they released a statement. I read about that on Saturday, and like today anything current like that? He's in general or just really in general? And no, not related to this. It related to me. His his health.

Oh, he's falling apart. His campaign has really falling apart. It's it's last two weeks, three weeks. So is it are they picking a new candidate? Nope? No, unlikely. Okay, So it's wow, it's I mean, this is still a hot race, this is not this is still a toss up. I would say Trump has a little bit of an edge now where it's been pretty neck and neck. The assassination temp was

insane and Trump barely made out alive. I mean he turned his head at the perfect second, otherwise it would have gone straight through the back of his brain. I I initially thought it was a joke. Yeah, Like I thought it was a joke because of the way it all went down. It was like a super slow turn and then you heard like this, pop pop pop, and then the Secret Service. It was so odd the way they reacted, and then he was like, oh, I need my shoe,

and then he popped up and was doing this. I was like, is this Is this just like a stunt? Is this like a bit? Because I thought there's no way this was real. And then when I heard that somebody passed away like a guy protecting his family, I was like, oh shit, you know this and the shooter a twenty one year old Republican. Well yeah, so there. I mean, there's plenty of conspiracy theories right

now. We don't know much. All we know is he what he recently registered Republican and then a couple of years ago he vote he donated to Democrat Superpass, So it's hard to say what he what his actual we don't know his motivation is the stuff that came out the following day, I was like, you gotta be and I knew it was coming. It was like, you know, I knew the you know, the supporters of Trump, we're going to say, Oh, it's you know, by ordered the hit and

stuff. And that's exactly what came out and all this crazy, you know stuff. And I was like, oh, Lord, have mercy. But do you think this is the best thing in I'm trying to say this in the right words, best thing for his campaign? Yes, yeah, oh absolutely, this is great for him. Oh yeah, it's a It's a total coup for him, unfortunately. And I hope, my hope is that it humbles him and that he you know, because I experience he was out spreading a message of hope, and I was like, that was not a

message of hope that he was speaking of. In my opinion, I think, yeah, I do think. I think that is not just a unique Trump problem. Now, I think both sides are equally guilty of that. Trump is actually so shockingly restrained this campaign, yes, compared to like the twenty sixteen, twenty twenty campaigns. So he's still Trump, and he's still you know, probably a terrible person again, but there's there. Him and Biden are basically the same side of a coin. Now are the you know,

same coins, separate sides. But it's I've never seen anything like that. Yeah, it's it is crazy time and people from other countries like that. We're nuts down here. Okay, Well we'll leave it at that. We don't want to go like deep. I don't want to go deep. So I want to talk about two other shows that I've won. Is a documentary which you would love, Brian, I'm a huge Next to these are two of my favorite actresses in the world, Jessica Lang and Fade doun Away.

I love Faye Dunaway. And there's a new documentary on HBO Max. It just premiered on Saturday Night. It's called Faye and it's you know, about her and her career and all of that. And it was really really good. Okay, And then because I couldn't resist, I watched because they're always so bad. I don't know how his name gets put on anything to direct Tyler Perry you don't like Medea or No. And it was called Divorce in the Black. It got a zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It was

probably I think I turned it off after about maybe fifteen minutes. It was I don't even know how money gets spent on a movie like that. Wow, because it's got Megan Good in it, who and she's normally a fairly competent actress. I just watched something called American Nightmare. It's a real story

about a woman who got kidnapped with her husband, got tied up. She got kidnap, but then they released her and she came home and they blamed everything on her and said it was a hoax, when in reality it wasn't. That. It's really good. I thought that was pretty definitively that she did hoax it though not at all. No, it was god to see that you got to start. I remember that case. I feel like it was very I'm really glad that she is speaking and telling the real story because

that she was vilified. Yeah she was unfairly. But anyway, here's how our little picture turned out. Isn't it cute? They're a little leg a little and that cute and be fun. Okay, coming up on Thursday. Coming up on Thursday, I would like to tell everybody you do not want to miss this. On Thursday when I was on the phone with you, Oh okay, what went down fast food incident?
