Read It and Weep (2006)

[00:00:04] This is a Bramble Jam Podcast.

[00:00:44] Basically what happens on this show, if you're tuning in for the first time to hear us talk about Read It and Weep, these two clowns grew up watching DCOMs and I didn't. I got your miracle right here, sucker. I don't think we're clowns. Hey, nobody's left a rating review in the last 10 minutes, I mean, week. So I don't have any of those to read and weep. That's sad. Yeah. That's sad.

[00:01:14] We're talking Read It and Weep today, which is very exciting. Another movie that I missed at the time, but starring sisters. Sisters. Okay. Nope. Sisters. I've been told I'm not allowed to sing it. Please do. Sisters. Sisters. Come at me. Yeah. We just got a bill, an email bill. It's unbelievable. Come at me. We're on it.

[00:01:41] Um, uh, it's, uh, starring the, uh, the, uh, Panabaker sisters. Panabaker, which is one of which continued on in acting. The other is at Animal. Animal Kingdom. Planet. Animal Planet. Um, so I'm very excited to see what, uh, what the list you brought. Yeah. Aaron and, uh, Oh, is that a segment on this program? It's time for that. A movie about, we're playing it. Okay.

[00:02:06] A movie about, no, we all did a movie about a girl who has a book published, a movie that takes place. Uh, some of it within a pizza shop. Yeah. So let's, let's see what, uh, let's see what you got. Um, well, last night when I was obviously making so many chocolate chip cookies for the Wendy Wu episode, I also made a seaweed pizza.

[00:02:36] Um, just kidding. Um, so I was trying to figure out what to do for this one. Um, pizza seemed like the obvious choice, but I also knew that we were potentially recording this episode in the morning. Um, in which one of us would definitely not be eating that pizza. Hey, can I tell you something? My kids are having a birthday party at an arcade place and they include pizza. And I wanted a 9 30 a.m. birthday start because I wanted that thing to be done by noon. And I was like, we'll play video games and we'll eat pizza.

[00:03:05] And they were like, one of the rules we have here is, is we can't do the video games first. It has to be the pizza first. So you need to move your party to noon or pizzas at 9 30 a.m. And I said, fire up that pizza at 9 30 a.m. So for my kids birthday party, all their kids from their classes are showing up and at 9 30 a.m. They're going to have a pizza mid morning snack and then they're going to play the arcade games. Amazing. Right? So somebody's eating 9 30 pizza in the month of May. Just so I mean, um, but it's not you. Not me. No, I'm not.

[00:03:34] I will be eating pizza at 9. Yeah. You're going there. Yeah. Yeah. Although I hear main event pizza is a lot better than the pizza at like the big air. It's not bad. It's better than big air pizza. Yeah. I've been to a birthday party there already. All right. There you go. I get around. I go to a lot of parties. I go to a lot of kids birthday parties. Said Brian. With my kids. There it is. Anyway, go ahead. Everyone are ready. So I got this new cookbook or cocktail book.

[00:04:04] I was flipping through it. I just wanted to see if there's any recipes that like. A perusal. Yeah. I just wanted to see if there's something that stuck out to me that could maybe be themed for this movie. Um, so, uh, inside look on the process here is months ago when we started, or a year ago when we started this podcast, I went through every movie and I went through all my cookbooks and kind of wrote down thoughts. I had like a spreadsheet for all the movies, um, and kind of wrote down thoughts for each one.

[00:04:29] And then movies that I need to actually see the movie before I can remember something iconic from it. Then I kind of do the process one by one. I go through different cookbooks and try to find a recipe. You put a lot of thought into this. I put a lot of thought. I do try. Some movies are easier than others. You put a lot of thought and then you run out to Publix. And then I run out to Publix and I grab 13 cookies. Um. And 11 make it. Yeah. Yeah. Ate two first. Ate two first. You gotta try them. Yeah.

[00:04:57] And anyway, so this book had, this book, this cocktail book pairs cocktails with like famous pop songs. Okay. Um, and so there, this one goes with the song. I want to dance with somebody who loves me. Want to dance with somebody. Which I thought was nice for this movie because there is a dance. Yeah. It is about Jamie kind of figuring out who she is and you know. This could have worked for Wendy Wu as well. The people who really, but she doesn't actually go to the dance. She doesn't. You're right. But um, and it's about her. Yeah. Well, yeah.

[00:05:24] And so like, you know, she kind of is going with the popular boy who she thinks really sees her and loves her. And she finds out that spoiler. He doesn't. Um. Who does she want to be in the dance of life? If you think that's right. That's right. But then also. The cocktail that goes with this is a jalapeno gin cocktail. And I thought that was also like a nice nod to the dad's pizza place where they're just trying all these really weird, like, like, sir, it's pizza. It pretty much sells itself. That's right. Jalapeno gin. I'm listening.

[00:05:55] Um, but you know, they end up making it with like a seaweed pizza. So here, this was like, you wouldn't normally think about putting, um, jalapenos in a gin cocktail. Um, maraschino cherry in there. Yeah, it's a weird. There's some glitter in there too. Don't worry. Um, sparkly for a dance. Um, I did make the gin syrup, uh, the, um, the jalapeno syrup myself. So I did. Okay. I did. All right. So here we go. I didn't make something for this.

[00:06:24] You don't want to be in this. Yeah, I really like it. It's, it's just a touch sweet. Yeah. But the flavor profile is there. The kick Aaron. The flavor profile is 100% there. I would, I mean, if I was, this is definitely a cocktail I would have again. Um, I think I would tweak a little less. There's, you know, there's like grenadine in there. I would put less grenadine than what they say. Yeah. It's a lot of grenadine.

[00:06:54] And my comment is no surprise. I think it's a perfect distance. Yeah. Yes, of course. But I did double the amount of jalapenos in the syrup recipe. Let's go. Cause it was like, it was like, it was like depending on how much flavor you want. And I was like, I want all the flavor. Got to kick it up. Um, absolutely. So what I did to not kill us with the pepper flavor is I made, cause you have to simmer it for like 20 minutes. And I simmered it for about half that time with the, the correct amount of jalapenos.

[00:07:21] And then for the final 10, I threw more in to get an extra kick of flavor. I mean, it's delicious. It was actually really fun. So. I mean, it, the flavors there. I mean, it's just really good. I think it's the best cocktail you've made for us here. I think it's the best cocktail you've made for us. Really great. Yeah. I'll be, it could be just a 10, 25 AM talking, but it, you know, I'll be sipping on it. I'll be sipping on it all during this break and maybe during the first segment. We'll see. We'll see. We'll come right back. We'll talk, read it and weep.

[00:07:50] Maybe, uh, maybe we'll all get buzzed. Do you come to sentence? Do you come to sentence? Do you come to sentence? Do you come to break? The sweetness could also be that there's not, I don't think there's enough gin in there. Yeah. I knew that we were making this at 10 o'clock in the morning. Can I tell you this? If I was making this, I would, I would have a component that was bubbly. There's Sprite in there. So like, I would have more of that.

[00:08:16] Like if I, like I would almost replace the Sprite for just like Topo Chico and I, then I would be happy because then it's got more bite to it. Less sweet. I just took some of the sugar out and you could probably keep the grenadine in at that point. And you got really good. You've got maybe a perfect, a perfect cocktail. And I'm not a big fruit cocktail guy. I'll play around with it. Um, and then at our company picnic later this summer picnic. Yeah. I would drink this, uh, all weekend long. Hypothetically, if you were recording this on the last day of the week, I would consider, you know, maybe making this as a party.

[00:08:46] Yeah. Uh, let's talk read it and weep. Shall we read it and weep aired on the Disney channel on July 25th. The first, 2006. I was on summer vacation now. I hope so. They did let you out in Massachusetts in July. Eventually the birthplace of public education. Massachusetts is like, you're here in school all year. Yeah, pretty much. It's ridiculous. This is based on a book, how my private personal journal became a bestseller by Julie

[00:09:15] the Villers. And the movie is written possibly be the Villers, but you know, D E V I L L E R S. Wow. I wish her first name was Cruella. Yeah. Cruella de Villers. Julia de Villers. I don't know what to tell you. Julia de Villers. Uh, written, the movie's written by Patrick. Bonnie Badilla. Patrick J. Clifton and Beth Ragazio. Ragazio. Hey. And it is starring, uh, I'm sorry.

[00:09:42] It's directed by, uh, Paul Hone, who I believe we've seen a few times now. And, uh, starring Kay Panabaker, Danielle Panabaker, Alison Stagliotti, uh, and Jason Dolly. Jason Dolly. Jason Dolly. Jason Dolly. We will see. We will see many, uh, Jason Dolly movies, uh, in the future. Are we ready? Are we ready? I haven't seen those. So this is a, you're going to go on a Jason Dolly venture.

[00:10:10] I mean, yeah, there is just, as you said in the previous episode, how this is the period of time where you got more like, you know, you pick and choose which D comes you saw. Yep. I would choose the ones that, that starred female leads. Um, and then skip the other ones. So Jason Dolly. I honestly, I, I'm interested to see, but I think there may be a correlation for me as well, but on the, on the other side, on the other side. Yeah. Cause I was a boy. Have you seen Hashing P and Miniman? I have. Okay. I haven't.

[00:10:38] I think I started to watch Minutemen and said, this makes no sense. Minutemen rules. We'll see. You guys are so cool. Uh, read it and weep. It's like we're speaking a foreign language to you. Read it and weep, Dan. I just zoned out there for a bit. It was great. I was living my own life. It was fantastic. We meet Jamie Bartlett. Man, that was too good. I should have saved some of that energy. Jamie Bartlett is a, uh, is a freshman who loves writing. She was merely fresh.

[00:11:08] Sure. Uh, she has this crazy laptop tablet combo thing. Amazing. It is life changing. Yeah. It's the Microsoft surface pro 20 years early. Yeah. I mean, it is the reason I, my first laptop that I purchased with my own money was a Microsoft surface because it was as close as I thought I could get to her. To reading. Yeah. Yeah. Commercial that they put out where they're like sliding around and clicking it off and clicking it on. Yeah. The people who made this movie were like, wait a second. That's right. That's hard.

[00:11:38] We've already done the fact that it was like a laptop, but then she could swivel and then it had like a stylus and it was just so creative as you were writing it new when to make it bigger, smaller, different pictures. Color is just crazy. I wanted it. I, I mean, for several years, I very much used, um, my surface. It has like the, the one note notebook and I would use that for everything. Uh, notes galore. I loved it.

[00:12:04] Um, and now my work laptop is an iPad and the case I bought mimics what Jamie's, um, laptop does. And so I feel like 20 years later, I did it. You did it. Congratulations. Still waiting, still waiting on my smart house, but I will, I will accept. I guess this does give us hope that smart house, smart house can happen. That's exactly right. Um, so she's writing, she likes to write, uh, a journal, but she uses kind of this alter

[00:12:34] ego as she's writing, uh, named is, um, unlike Jamie, uh, is, is popular is, is able to climb, climb, climb rope, uh, is able to talk to boy is able to stand up to bully. And, uh, Jamie is not really able to do any of that. Um, and she has her own bowl. Well, Jamie is shy and retiring. Yes. She's retired. Retiring. She's, uh, she's hanging them up. That's exactly. High schools. She's had enough guys.

[00:13:04] That's what the, it says. On IMDB, the description says that Jamie is shy and retiring. And we learned that retiring is just another way of saying shy. Um, she's too shy, shy. Um, and if you get that reference, good for you. And, um, but then we, yeah, and then we just do a, um, but we've just making retiring jokes. Yeah. She's retiring. She's a retiree. Yeah.

[00:13:30] She's very excited to see what hobbies she picks up and try shuffleboard in her middle teenage. That's right. In her 14, 15 age, uh, woodworking, uh, for her, uh, there was an English assignment, uh, like this essay also is competition. I don't know, but she writes an essay and, uh, her printer dies though. And so her brother Lenny is like, you can't use my printer. Cause each kid, I guess has their own printer. Each kid has their own printer and the family does not like the parents, I guess, don't have one.

[00:14:00] With laptops like that, you, you kind of, you need your own printer. You set a standard. Um, and so her friend, um, Lindsay offers to print it, just email it to me, but they're in the middle of watching the programs. And so, uh, that's exactly right. So she accidentally, she gets distracted. Um, and instead of dragging the essay to the email, she drags her journal to the email.

[00:14:27] Lindsay prints it out full color front and back. Yeah. She doesn't question at all. She doesn't read it. Just like this is, this is going straight. She doesn't read it. She doesn't read it. Um, and, uh, an amazing email system where all she had to do was drag the file to email it to the send icon. Streets ahead. And that icon knew this is going to Lindsay. Send to Lindsay, uh, gave me unrealistic computer dreams.

[00:14:54] Like it's not that nowadays you, you put in a document and it's like, it's too big. What do you want to do? I don't freaking know what to do. We can't email five photos. Are you crazy? Cannot email five photos. But in 2006, she could email a book to Lindsay and that computer was like, do you want to send it as a drive link? And I'm like, yeah. And then I get an email an hour later saying, I don't have permission to open it. I don't have permission to open it. This is the best we got. I thought I did. This is the best we got. I thought I gave you permission.

[00:15:22] Um, when I email something on a Google link, I always change it. I give that person full editing control. Cause I'm like, I don't know. I don't want you to contact me again about this. This transaction is done. I don't know. Still. Sometimes it doesn't work. It's like, yeah, even with the editor link, I still had will at will.com emailing me saying I can't open this file. And I was like, gosh, darn it. Come on. I mean, I blame Google for that. Yeah. It's Google. Will at will.com would never, he would never, but it's just the Google.

[00:15:52] You could, you can text people more things than you can correct. And I don't understand it. Anyway, the system's Gmail is really trying to save us from something. I guess they're, they're really fighting against, uh, I don't know too much. You want to share six photos at one time. What is this? A cell phone? You're going to embarrass yourself. Uh, so, uh, after message, Lindsay, uh, turns in the assignment and it ends up winning

[00:16:21] the contest, which is surprising to Jamie because she was like, it's not that good. And it was just like, it's not a big deal. We did it. I guess I do question, like, was it a mandatory assignment? It did seem like it. I just feel like a mandatory, like making all of these students enter a national contest or, or whatever. I don't know how wide the contest was. I'm, I'm still foggy on it. I'm, I'm foggy on, maybe I should read the book, but I don't know.

[00:16:51] It just so many questions. And like Lindsay, I'm sorry. I know we're going to get to a part in this movie where you think Jamie's a bad friend. I think you're a bad friend at this moment. Oh snap. I mean, I've had to print things for friends before and I've like looked at the file and maybe not read the whole thing, but you shouldn't be a snooper. She did. But like you're a snooper, but like you would open that number. That file on your computer and the front page would be like, Jamie is this? Like it doesn't look like an assignment.

[00:17:20] I would say Jamie's friend did the, the absolute least. Yes. Yeah. Like thinking while doing the most though, that's the thing. Like she printed it full color. Bad friend. I don't know. And I also like definitely not. I also like the times I've had a printer for my friend. I then handed it to my friend. I'm so sorry. Um, Dan and I aren't friends and like handed the paper to them and been like, like, you know, here's the assignment. Like just give it a final look over before I hand it in for a grade. Like I'm not, I don't want that on my conscience.

[00:17:49] Like you hand that in yourself. I've never entrusted anyone to print out something and hand it in for me for a grade in my life. I've never hit. Like I've, I've, I've done the printing. Cause for a period of time at my college, they, they, for a while printing was free and then they started charging you for printing. Um, and so we were just kind of like one person would go, um, and we would just take trans printing for each other. Cause it just became such a hassle to go and log in. And, um, but in that case, like within we would meet up before class and I'd be like, all right, here's your paper.

[00:18:18] Like look it over, make sure it, that didn't happen here though. And no, she wins anyway. Yeah. Lindsay was just like, yeah, her writing assignment was a 30 page full color book. And, uh, it, and I printed that without charging her a dime. Yeah. It ends up getting published in a newspaper called the education times. And this is where I'm getting at where I'm like, I don't know how like big this contest is. I don't know what, I don't know what the education times is.

[00:18:46] I don't know if the education times is specific to this school or if it is a lot of like word of mouth. That's exactly right. That's what we know. Yeah. It's, I mean, it's a great for that school. If it's a school paper, because every student reads it religiously and good for them. Right. But also it makes national news at this point. So I am curious. Education times a big deal.

[00:19:10] Now she's very embarrassed by all of this at first because she knows that it's just basically her journal. And to her, it's so obvious that it's a journal. Yes. Um, but ultimately she has no choice, but to give into the hype and, uh, she uses even more of her journals and gets the book published. It becomes a bestseller is save the world overnight overnight. Um, she's overwhelmed by how much of a success this book is.

[00:19:37] She walks down the hallways of her school and every kid is reading a hardcover copy of this book cover bound. It's just that. It's that easy. The first run is always hardcover. Yeah. And, and publishing. We know, uh, brand we've had a little bit of 15 years ago, real easy to just turn that, that quickly. No problem. No problem. No problem. Yeah. The timeline does seem like that got printed in less than a week. There are no world where that laptop exists in Oh six. Maybe it is.

[00:20:08] That's true. That's the technology they have. It's a correlation for sure. Yeah. And it really helps cause she already did all the illustrations. So they don't, they don't, they don't need to illustrate the book. It's done. It's literally just ready to print. It's good to go. So she just had to drag that file over to send email to printers. Um, no one, no one stopped printers, uh, national bestseller. Um, so everybody is reading it. Uh, everybody is now flocking to the family pizza shop, which is great news for dad.

[00:20:36] Dad is more happy about that than he is about his daughter's success. Uh, what can you do? Um, dad is really trying to get his weird creations off the ground. He's trying to crack the pizza game. Um, sir, Ben cracked. I don't like, yeah. It's called pepperoni and cheese. I would say you could, you could tweak around with like different spice in, in the sauce. Maybe give me a different flavor profile there, but like toppings wise. Stop it. I tried a sauce on a pizza yesterday.

[00:21:05] That was, it felt new. It felt like a new, a new, uh, yeah. New take on it. Yeah. It was, it was slightly on the sweet side for my taste. Same for me, but I would eat that pizza again. No, it just made me miss the vodka sauce pizza at Olivia's. Okay. Now I, there's a place for that pizza. I almost would, this is a weird move, but I would sprinkle pepper on top of that pizza and I think it would be perfect. Just regular old ground black pepper. Well, I would say it needed like, um, like a grounding. Correct. Yes. I would agree with that.

[00:21:34] So this is good for everybody at home. Who's also tried hypothetically, not hypothetically, but. If somebody were to move in close by who had a bunch of spices and we had pizza, we could experiment with that in a few weeks. Yeah, that would work. I also have crushed jalapeno at the house. That would be good on there. Cause it's not like crushed red pepper. It's a different flavor. But that is further away. Correct. Unless that also. It could make it here. It can make it. It can make it anywhere. I can transport a spice. I think. See how far I have room in the car. I'm going to.

[00:22:04] So is someone moving to New York? This is weird. I'm confused. I feel like we're losing things a little bit here. Um, okay. So she goes and she begins. I'm moving closer to the studio. Cause right now my house is the furthest away from the studio and I hate the drive. So I'm moving and I was just, I own a lot of spices cause I own a lot of spices. Um, okay. But we're scared to use the spices at my house when you stayed there. I've used them. Didn't you tell me you were like the way the spices were? Cause we don't want to. The way they're organized is, is Sarah orders single origin spices. So she was like, I don't want to.

[00:22:33] I'm terrified of like, well, I'm, I'm terrified of like, I did use spices recently. And then I was like, I don't know how to put these back. Right. It doesn't matter. Um, and I don't need Sarah being like Sarah doesn't care. Sarah has Sarah's ADHD. She doesn't actually know where the spice. She just puts them back. Great. Great. I feel better about it. Yeah. I'm the one that gets mad when I'm like the ground, the, the, the, the garlic was right. Like I'm the one that's yeah. Yeah. But you're, you haven't gotten mad at me yet about the fact that I reheated my subway sub on your blackstone. Yeah. You seem fine by that. That's what blackstones are meant for. Okay.

[00:23:04] Brand came over. We had a whole night. It was a great day. So nothing like a pressed reheated subway sub. She does an interview on the news. It turns into a full press tour. She's living the dream. She returns to school and has this moment with her crush Marco. And she even sits at the popular table and her friends are like, you know, looks like you're having a good time over there, but her friends are trying to be supportive. It's obviously doing their best, a big change, but it all comes to a crashing halt. She's a little bit overwhelmed.

[00:23:33] She goes on this interview on TV and begins to talk to herself. She's talking to like is off camera conversations with is, and it's been fairly benign because she's just like in her bedroom talking to is. Um, but now she's straight up having a conversation with is on live TV. That's right. Which is just a lot for like a 13 year old girl to have to handle. Um, I would with very little prep and no one there to encourage her. Yeah.

[00:24:02] Like I feel like that should have been a prerecorded segment that they could have edited. Um, yeah, just live television. She's a minor stuff, live TV stuff, but also, I mean, and I will cover this in my overtime for sure. The entire world I think is just watching at this point. Um, her mom is watching her agent is watching her, have a full conversation with someone who's not there and that's fine. Yeah. No one, no one's like, Hey, maybe we should go to a hospital or get you checked out or anything.

[00:24:32] Very, very Hallmark movie ask in that regard. Yeah. You're fine. Mental break. No, no way. You've got this. That's right. And so, uh, in this interview, she lets it slip that the entire book is based off of the, the other kids that she goes to school with. So, you know, the, the bully is actually Sawyer. Okay. And then the bully is actually Sawyer and all of that is true.

[00:24:59] And, uh, you know, she's like, what do you mean Sawyer? I thought it was Myrna and they're like, she's like, I said, Myrna. And they're like, hi. Got you. No, you did it. You definitely said Sawyer. And then she has a full meltdown. Yeah. And again, no one does anything. No one cares. Um, that's life sometimes. Yep. Uh, and so she begins to, she goes to school the next day and is confronted by the entire school. Everyone is mad.

[00:25:28] And I would say probably eight people have the right to be mad. Um, I mean, I, I highly doubt everybody in the school had a character in the book after them. But Sawyer's mad. Uh, one of the dumb, Sawyer has a right to be mad. One of the dumb hunks is mad. Cause he's just like dumb, um, in the book. And he's not mad at first. He's like, yeah, she just wrote what she sees. And then Sawyer's like, well, who do you think the dumb troll is? And he's like, Oh, it's me.

[00:25:58] Um, and then also her friends are now also mad because she completely changed. And she, when she, when she got popular, she let it get to her head and she started blowing them off. Lindsay, who was a semi okay friend printing things for her, um, has that animal rights protest coming up. And she was supposed to be, I think that's what she blows off to go do the interview and wish her whole world falls apart. Yeah. She's supposed to be helping her friends decorate for the dance. The dance. There's all these things that she promised her friends that she just starts bailing on.

[00:26:28] And at first she's trying to, you know, she does try to do both. Yes. Just press tour and to be with her friends. And now she's just kind of blowing them off. She's just like, look at me. You know, Mark, I, you know, Marco talked to me, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. You know, Marco asked me to the dance and they're like, okay, but like, what about our plans? Like we had plans that you forgot about. And she's just like, whatever. I have to go be on the news. There's nothing you can do. And her friends are getting ready for the dance and they're doing this giant paper mache whale that they are planning to use as a protest. The theme under the sea. Yes.

[00:26:58] No, it's deep blue sea. Deep blue sea is different. And so. It's a new theme. It's a new theme. Deep blue sea. Deep blue sea. And so. Uh, everybody's mad at her. Everybody is getting rid of her on their instant messenger. And that's how you know it's serious stuff. Um, and you know, it's serious because everyone was sitting at home on their computer and they said, all right, here's the plan. As soon as Jamie logs on, I'm going first. And then you, and then you, and we all had a number in the order.

[00:27:28] So she logs on and one by one, her friends delete her and she watches it happen in real time. And it was very great. It's brutal. Like awful. Yeah. But good for those high school students. So for planning that coordinated, that movement, that was. I had to step out a second, but you guys did bring up the fact that maybe the deep blue sea theme was based upon the LL cool J shark movie, deep blue sea. No. Maybe they had a theme based upon that. Yeah. It's minted classic. Yeah. It's a shark. It's a shark. It's a shark. It's a shark.

[00:27:57] Deep blue sea. It's a shark theme. Uh, I just feel like they didn't have the rights to under the sea. The only, which is weird because it's a Disney channel movie, but the only friend that doesn't delete her on his messenger is Connor. Connor is one of our best friends also has had a crush on her or it is his brother. Dad has been telling him to get up the nerve to ask her out of the dance. That's exactly. Um, I think it's great when all of your friends delete you on, we're just going to call it. I am.

[00:28:26] And you email, you, you message the one friend who hasn't deleted you with the message. Don't you hate me too? Yeah. I mean, but that's where she is. You might be, you know, that's what I mean, you know, you might be going through it. Would you forget to hate me? Oh, did you forget it today? And so, uh, you know, he's basically like, I, you know, you've changed and like does all this, this stuff. Yeah. He says like, I don't hate you. I hate who you've become. That's right. Yeah.

[00:28:52] There is one person who does not hate her and it is Marco who, uh, is going to go to the dance with her. And she is very excited about this one. He's hunk. And two, he writes really deep and moving poet, moving poetry, even stands up for in the education times. That's right. Yeah. So she first, I mean, she likes him, but he has to read a poem in front of the class. Um, and she's just like, wow, that was a beautiful poem. She's very into it.

[00:29:20] And then in the latest edition of the education times, there are eight pages of letters to the editor of people just bashing her. And then there's one sign from a small sign for a friend just being like, Hey, we can't be mad at Jamie about this. Like she was right about a lot of this. She was right about a lot of it. Like some of us are bullies, you know, like she saw through us. Um, and we never saw her. And she assumes that that's Marco. Obviously it's Marco.

[00:29:50] Yeah. It's gotta be Marco. Marco's not mad at her because Marco Vega is based or the character of Marco Vincent is based on Marco Vega in real life. Duh. Um, and so while everyone else got a big name change, you know, Sawyer becomes Myrna. Like you're not putting that in together. Um, Hey, am I Marco? Yeah. Hey, is Marco, is Marco Vincent based on me? Marco Vega. That me Marco Vega. So he's not mad at her because he's like, yeah, I know.

[00:30:19] I mean, I know she wrote about me, but like, I'm the hero of the story. Come on. That's right. I am in fact. Awesome. So Jamie is beginning to, uh, it's getting closer to the dance. Mm-hmm. She has this whole like meltdown conversation with is in her room. She goes and she yells at her brother to turn off her. Yeah. She's having an argument against herself. Yes. And he's playing the guitar and she, it's too loud for her to argue with her. That's exactly right. And so she goes and it was like, you, you suck basically. Yeah.

[00:30:49] And then he throws away his guitar and that's really sad. Uh, it's time for the dance. Uh, everybody, uh, she, she and Marco show up. Marco keeps calling her is which she does not like. Nope. Yep. Um, and she finally is like, you have to stop calling me is. And then he, she brings up the poetry to which he says, Oh, I didn't write that crap. Connor wrote it. Connor wrote it. What? This is crazy. She's been Cyrano de Berge act.

[00:31:16] And so, uh, now that's the reference I get. Yeah. Brandon did it. You're just, I've heard it. I've heard it before. I think I get the general. She's been Roxanne. Roxanne. Different Roxanne from goofy movie. No, different. I'm Steve Martin. Uh, okay. Based on Cyrano. Yes. She's so Cyrano. You just got Cyrano. Or I guess like you've been 10 things. I hate about you. There you go. Now I'm picking it up. The younger sister, Bianca. Yeah. Okay.

[00:31:46] So the taming of the shrew did. Yeah. So the friends, the friends have hung up the, uh, the whale, the paper mache whale, and they have stuffed it with seaweed. They are going to pull Lindsay and Melody ultimate protest prank. That'll show them. Show them. Um, a teacher goes up on stage and is like, somebody worked really hard on all of this. We're going to bring them up here for a speech.

[00:32:12] Uh, and she brings up Jamie cause Jamie was initially supposed to be the head of the. Yeah. She's supposed to help her friends. Right. She blew them all off. But the teacher and Melody have done this whole thing themselves. I think the teacher kind of knew, but she doesn't care because Jamie is the bestselling author. Jamie's famous. And so Jamie goes on stage and begins to give this speech of sorts. And she sees her friends back there. They're about to pull. Everyone is booing her. Yeah. Yeah. Is is yelling at her. Like just step into the limelight.

[00:32:39] Everyone hates you now, but tell them you're writing a sequel. They'll love you. They did not love that. They did not love that. So then is, is like, Hey, rat out your friends. Everyone will be so happy that you saved them from the seaweed doom. And, uh, you'll be back in their good grace. That's right. And she decides that she is not going to do that. Um, she shouts out her friends. She shouts out her friends. She apologizes to everybody. Um, and all of that good stuff.

[00:33:10] And, uh, the whale still ends up coming down. Yeah. She stops her friends from doing it. She thinks that she's college. And she brings them up on stage. Then she goes and she pulls. She takes the blame for it. It comes down. And every time it swings out, it's magical. It's a magical scene flying at like a 180 degree angle. The whale is sitting perpendicular. I don't need to know the physics. I just know it's awesome. That's exactly right.

[00:33:39] Every time the whale swings on an upward trajectory, just perfect blast of seaweed. Um, it's like, there was probably a seaweed cannon, I think for physics inside the whale. Um, there's no other way. Cause otherwise as soon as the whale dropped down, it all would have fallen, but nope, it waits until it's like aimed at somebody. Right. It's a beautiful work of physics that we don't need to explain. We don't need to explain, but you know, uh,

[00:34:04] she is now made up with her friends and she, uh, Connor. Where's he at? Uh, Connor is, we're Cyrano. He, Connor's about to leave. Connor's done with all of this. He's going out. His, uh, brother, dad is picking him up in the truck. Uh, she comes out after him. His 27 year old brother. His big brother that still lives at home and does laundry at home and is supposedly maybe in high school is 35 with two mortgages. Like it's crazy. Yeah.

[00:34:33] And, uh, she tries older in that movie than I am now. Yeah. It's very likely. Um, Jamie goes out and tells, uh, Connor, Hey, don't go. I know that you write poems and that means a lot. And you've had my back. You've always seen the real me. Um, so they go back inside and her brother, it goes, and he sings on stage. He plays his guitar and they all dance. And it's great.

[00:35:00] The band already had three guitarists and he was like, you know what this needs? One more guitar. And sings a song that is a barely a rip off of just the girl I'm looking for. Yeah. I mean, almost the same exact. Shout out to the click five. Shout out to like five. Uh, after the dance, they all go to the parents pizza place, which is good. Cause they were just about to shut it all down and call it quid. So turns out secret ingredient. Well, yeah, that's right. So the brother runs back to help. He's got it so fast, takes his jacket off.

[00:35:30] And in doing so caused a bunch of ripped up seaweed to fall on the pizza. When the seaweed came out of the whale, it was like long untouched strips of seaweed, but somehow touching the brother's motion of playing the guitar. It became like, oh, he was chopping it. Yeah. And it just falls perfectly on top of the pizza, seaweed pizza. It goes out to the people. The people love it. Everybody's like, we need more seaweed pizza. And it apparently saved. That's right. And it saves, uh, the business.

[00:35:58] And, uh, I, does, uh, does Jamie and Connor do that kiss in this movie? I don't know. I don't think so. Somebody leave us a rating and review if they do kiss and we missed it. But, uh, that's it. That is, uh, that's the movie. Hey, read it and weep. Let's take a break. Let's come back. Let's break this movie down. Share our thoughts on it, read some letterbox reviews, rank it, all that good stuff on the other side here on decondescendence. Really good. All right. It's the best in a while.

[00:36:26] I did like a media voice there. Decom descendants. Uh, we're talking read it and weep this week. It is time for overtime. This is where we share our thoughts on how this movie aged over time. Give our opinions on it. I've got some letterbox reviews if you want it. Yeah, we do. Uh, Elise, uh, says easily the most haunting, unforgettable depiction of schizophrenia ever put the film.

[00:36:54] Uh, Charlie says two stars. Someone please get this girl on some antipsychotics. Uh, Maggie says three stars. You can tell this movie came out in 2006 because gossip is spread by the school newspaper. I love it. Uh, Julia says three stars. I love how the dad is, uh, vibing, making a crappy pizzas while his daughter has a narcissistic meltdown. Uh, Megan says one and a half stars. Every single outfit in this movie makes me want to die and simultaneously gives me the will to live.

[00:37:23] Uh, Adelaide says three stars. This is a kid's bop version of mean girls. And, uh, Rosie says five stars. I wanted her fancy computer so bad. Yeah. Yeah. Rosie. Yes. Best part of the movie. Let's share our thoughts on this movie. And, uh, I'll start with you, Aaron. Aaron, what'd you think about reading a week? Obviously it's stuck with you over the years, but yeah, I think of it now. I mean, well, the thing that stuck with me and I don't know what this says about the plot in that it probably says a whole lot about the plot.

[00:37:52] The thing I remember most about this movie is the laptop, um, which you could have seen the first minute of this movie and taken away just as much as I did having watched the whole thing 20 years ago. Um, bits and pieces of the plot came back to me as we were watching it. This isn't one that I, I mean, I've probably seen it a couple times, like around the year it came out, but not a lot in the 20 years since.

[00:38:16] Um, it was better than I thought there, there was better like friend themes and like figuring out who you are. And I, it was enjoyable. There was enough, not quite hijinks, but there was enough going on that I was interested throughout the whole movie. Um, I have a, like, probably not a concern when I was 15, but a lot of concern now for the fact that nobody seems to care that she's, she's not okay.

[00:38:45] Um, she's not handling the fame. Well, she's not handling the stress. Well, she very active, like at the dance, she grabs, there's a scene where she reaches out, grabs is the arm of air. Like nobody, like there's nobody there. Literally just, and you see, they show you the camera angle. Cause like when you're watching it, you know, we can see is you're like, oh, this isn't that weird, but they show you at the dance, the camera angle of the other kids where she's talking to air. She reaches out, grabs a hand. That's not there.

[00:39:15] Drags her off the dance floor and then just proceeds to yell at air and nobody does anything. And this is like after her meltdown on live TV, talking to the corner where no one is standing. Very clearly. Like if you're not going to get her into a doctor or get her into therapy, like a parental conversation. Um, and instead the mom is just thrilled because the publishers want a sequel.

[00:39:40] Um, so I mean, I, I guess we were, I think we get a lot of like bad Disney dads. Um, and in this one, I'm going to give him a pass because he is the only family member working, um, and just struggling to stay afloat. So he's busy there. The mom is on this book tour with her daughter, watching her have a breakdown bit by bit by bit. Um, and mom doesn't care.

[00:40:05] Mom is just like, I'm at parties with, uh, George Jackson and that's all I care about. And like, you're fine. Give us a sequel. Just, you know, print more of your journals. You've got so much material. Um, and so that, that's tough to see. I'm also going to shout out, like, I don't think she should be with Connor. Um, I, whoa, whoa, whoa. Sorry.

[00:40:31] You like you have gone from not having romantic feelings for him at all. And then finding out that he is a true friend. I find it hard to believe that like in that instant, all of a sudden now, like this is true love and we love him. I don't love. So he makes it. Sometimes you don't realize there were feelings that are all along. They're all along, Aaron. I don't have, I think I'm fine with what you're saying.

[00:40:58] Well, I will say Connor gave me the ick in the sense that he gave you the ick. Yeah. Wow. Okay. No, I didn't see that coming. I just assumed like, you know, no. So he makes a deal with his brother. Like, Hey, I want, I don't want dad to drive me to the dance. I want me and Jamie to have a cool ride. So will you drive us in your truck? And I will do all your laundry and do all these chores for you. If you will just drive us to and from the dance. And that's great.

[00:41:25] But he does this and he never asks Jamie to the dance. He doesn't do it. He just is making these plans with his brother. And then like his brother gives him the advice of like, dude, what are you waiting for? You have to go ask her like you, you're doing all this work. But like if she doesn't know she's going to the dance with you, like, what are we doing? So he shows up to school and he's like, he tries calling her, but she's on the phone with like press and all that stuff.

[00:41:53] Um, so at school, the next day he's like, finally, I'm going to ask her. And he sees her across the school lobby. She sees Marco Marco's like, Hey, I got a question for you. And so he tries to interrupt the question and ask her first. But she's like, Hey, Connor. Shush. Marco's talking to me, which fair. Like this is the guy you've had a crush on for, I would say the whole school year. If like if Connor, you've done a really bad job of, you know, I would assume that, you

[00:42:20] know, I would not assume you're trying to ask me to the dance if you were my friend. Like I'd be like, we're friends and you just want to talk to me about, I don't know, whatever happened yesterday afternoon. Um, but then he gets mad at Jamie because, Hey, I did all this work to get us a nice ride to the dance and you're not even going with me. She didn't know any of that. And that's when I was like, Connor buddy. No, like that is on you. I know that you like her and that sucks. And I get that.

[00:42:48] But those were your actions that you took on without her knowledge. Like if she had asked you, Hey, can you, can I ride with you and your brother to the dance different story? But like she had no clue. And then you're going to blame her for that. And then a couple hours later you get the girl and she's just like, yeah, whatever. I don't know. I didn't love it. Um, if there's any high school boys listening to this, don't do that. Um, yeah, I think that's like, yeah, just, you know, men in general, don't do that.

[00:43:19] Um, it did feel like a very high school boy thing to do. Like get mad about something that the other person doesn't know. It's a very high school thing. So I just didn't love that. And I mean, I guess me at 15, 16, I don't know if I would have, if a guy said that to me, I don't know if I really would have had the, like the wherewithal to be like, Hey, that's not my, like it would have not sat right with me, but I think the culture around boy, girl relations at the time would have been like, Oh, I'm so sorry.

[00:43:48] Like, but if anybody is to, uh, understand having conversations in your head, it would be Jamie, Jamie, Jamie should be a little bit more considerate of the fact that he, that's right. I was having conversations in his head. So that, that was like, like, I mean, also like Connor is not my type. And so I, I, I would be a Marco person. Um, which you said a number of times. Well, I would say I'm a Marco person until he starts to talk. And then I'm like, there's nothing here.

[00:44:17] We can't carry on a conversation. So in that sense, Connor does get a leg up. Um, but yeah, just be better. Don't, don't blame Jamie for your choices. Um, and I guess just be really grateful that she still ended up liking you. Um, so anyway, all that to say, it's a movie that I enjoyed. What a tangent. I know what a tangent. This is an awkward place to be for me as somebody who is going to start this by saying, you know what? I kind of see myself in Connor as somebody who spent most of high school getting friend zoned.

[00:44:47] Uh, I, I, I, I feel, I feel for the guy. I also feel for him too. And I, I think it's a reasonable like frustration on himself to be like, I did all of this to set up the perfect night. It's the thing mad at her, which you didn't do, brain. No, no, no, no. That's what Aaron's upset about. It's not the rest of it. But I think what was really happening there was he was mad at himself and taking it out on her. Yeah.

[00:45:13] The way the movie depicts it though is, is she should have been in his head. Like, and that, that's the one thing. Yeah. The rest of it, I went to a dance with my male friend. I went to, I went to junior prom with my male friend and his, not his brother, his dad drove us. Um, and it was great. Like we had a great time. Um, but he was an actual friend. We talked about, he, you know, we talked about, Hey, do you want to go to this dance with me? Hey, I was thinking like, we're just going to, you know, my dad's just going to drive

[00:45:42] us so we don't have to rent a limo. And I was like, amazing. I don't want to rent a limo either. Like, but we were actual friends who had actual conversations. We talked to each other every day. Connor and Jamie don't seem to talk. Let me try. Let me, let me throw it through this one. I don't know you guys. What if this whole movie is showcasing different, um, mental health issues with each character and, and, and Connor's so much like Connor's brother, Connor's brother is actually his dad.

[00:46:10] Cause it's the only way that possibly makes sense looking at him. But Connor has grown up and known that sometimes his dad has these off days where he thinks that he's his brother and the best way for Connor to deal with this. Now we're just diving into it. The most generous read of this movie of all time. Is when Connor shows up to ask his dad if he will give him a ride to prom, he realizes, oh, that he, dad's having one of his brother days. It's one of his brother days. Kind of a dad brother combo.

[00:46:39] Hey, brother, could you give me a ride? Because it'd be so embarrassing if dad- See, I thought you were going to say the brother is not even real. That would have been fun. Another take on it. Yeah. Another take on it for sure. He's in the parking lot holding the door to a truck. That's not there. Like Jamie. Um, I think that this movie is fun. I think the, the Panda Bakers do a great job, uh, which isn't a surprise. I also thought that the, uh, her two, uh, girl, best friends, I thought were really great with the scenes that they had.

[00:47:09] I thought that there was a, a real, uh, like I bought them all as friends. I do agree. We did talk about in the movie when, when Jamie first gets on like her star path, the friends are very supportive and loving. They're like, Hey, this is a big moment for her. We get it. Go sit with your- Tell us everything. You can sit with the popular girls at lunch. Cause we know at the end of the day, like we're hanging out, we're having sleepovers. Like this friendship is solid. So that was a nice portrayal of friendships. It was like, you don't immediately throw each other under the bus.

[00:47:38] Like, I don't, I don't disagree that the Connor part of it was, it didn't feel, it was just a fast turnaround. He was the friend that I was like, I don't like, I, I kind of forget that he's around. She also forgot that he was around the entire movie. Right. And then at the very end, she was like, Oh, he wrote a nice editorial about me. That's very, that's very kind. This is true love. Um, but yeah, it is tough now watching it and being like, someone please help this, this

[00:48:05] girl knowing how, uh, Disney worked their stars and kind of caused them to struggle with mental illness. Like in this movie is tough. It's tough knowing that Disney channel made this movie during that time. Right. As they are in the time when some of their stars were struggling, Demi Lovato, Miley Cyrus. I mean, Demi would have been years later cause camp rock hadn't come out yet, but as

[00:48:33] they're like, this is Lindsay was probably in it. Yeah. So it's like, I mean, I guess you could base it on a year after this is when Brittany had her meltdown. Yeah. It's a little bit naive, uh, for Disney to think that this is, they just missed it. I think, I think they missed it. And, uh, so that's tough knowing that while watching this is like, oh no, this is going to happen to a lot of, uh, girls who are in the Disney, uh, cycle.

[00:49:01] So that's a, that's a tough part of this movie, but overall just as a movie, a good time. Okay. Yeah. I, uh, I thought this was okay. Um, I think the movie is okay. The Panabakers are excellent. So that dynamic where they're actual sisters and they both get to play a different role. And it was the best version of this. I'm talking to my popular self trope thing that is in a lot of kids movies.

[00:49:32] That was really fun. I think the two Panabakers working together was fun. The rest of this didn't really vibe for me. It could have been the studio is a hundred thousand degrees when we watched it. Um, and I will say during, if hypothetically we recorded two episodes today. Um, now that we're in the second episode, it's getting hotter in here. Um, but I'm having some flashbacks to how uncomfortable it was while watching this. But I was for long stretches. I was just like, let's get to the point where she learned your lesson.

[00:49:59] Like I was, I wasn't as invested in this movie. I don't think as I, I, you know, as most, I don't know. I, I just, whatever the Panabakers are really good. The rest of this is fine. It's, it's fine. It's not, uh, you know, it's innocuous. It's not bad. Uh, and I think if you were 12 in 2006, it probably was really, really important and really good. The laptop and the Panabakers great. The rest of it is.

[00:50:27] And I will say that the friends are much better than most friends when their friend gets popular in DCOM. So that was nice to see, uh, the, the romantic relationship stuff. None of that worked. The education times is weird that how quick this becomes a bestseller. They do a lot of work to get this to 90 minutes. And I think you could kind of tell that all the pizza look really bad too. So there's that. The scene at the end where they're all raving with a seaweed pizza, the crust on that pizza looked dry as heck.

[00:50:55] You mean to tell me that a bunch of high schoolers should have to be pizza pizza and they liked it. No way. No way. No, how the only way this, this pizza place has been able to stay in business is that it is the only pizza shop in town and people go there begrudgingly because I want pizza. And this is our dad or just do pepperoni. Yeah. Just throw some pepperoni on the pizza. Not going to do it. No way. Yeah. Too easy. Tired. Um, all right, let's make our list. Let's share where this movie is going to land on our list.

[00:51:24] And where everybody know if a top tens have changed, uh, Aaron, we're reading a week. Where are you putting them? Uh, it's not going to be in my top 10. Um, it is going to be a little higher than Wendy Wu. Um, I was really thinking about like, while we were watching this movie and the only part that I really remembered was laptop. Um, I was trying to bits and pieces of the plot were coming back to me and I really thought that this movie had a different ending than what it was. Interesting.

[00:51:52] There was this, and I think it was like almost like, um, you guys remember when you watched Mean Girls? Yeah. Sure. Um, and how Katie like is comparing the high school dynamics to wild animals. And for most of the movie, it's a bit. And then at the end, like when they're all fighting cause the burn book has been published, she's like, Oh no, it's, this is real. They're all fighting. That is how I remember is in the movie was like, she was a figment of her imagination. And then for some reason in my mind, I thought they were turning the book into a movie and

[00:52:21] Daniel Panabaker was playing is. So there was this moment where like. It became real. It became, she became a real person who was. It was giving, giving her a hard time. Just crazy. And that never happened. Um, so this movie is super memorable. And I would just like to share that, that thought process where I thought the whole time that at some point. And it's going to be ahead of Wendy Wu after everything you've said in this episode. I know. Cause Wendy Wu had moment, like this movie moved and like the plot kept going and we,

[00:52:50] there are moments of when, I don't know. Listen. And. Ratings and chains. We can, it could, Wendy Wu could be number one next week. Who knows? Um, but right now I have read it and weep at 14, uh, ahead of go figure bikes. That's high. It is high. Um, we'll see. I've got a lot to think about here. I think my whole list could probably do a shake up. Um, sure. We're doing shake them ups. We'll do them. Yeah. You know, one week's just going to be a shake. When you hit 62 episodes or 63 episodes.

[00:53:21] Um, that's when you do the shake them ups. That's when you shake them ups. Well, the good news is, is we're almost done, right? We're almost done. Um, we're almost to the list. So anyway, yeah, I mean, watching it, like there are a lot of good moments here. And while I think that the parents are really up there with some of the worst parents we've seen just from how much they don't seem to care about their daughter, both their children. Really? Lenny is forgotten. And I don't know how old Lenny is. Lenny's going through a time. Lenny's doing it. You could convince me that Lenny is the younger brother.

[00:53:51] You could convince me that Lenny is Jamie's twin brother. You could also convince me Lenny is the older brother. I don't know. I don't know. Um, but sometimes he gets sad and he listens to, I don't know, like Michelle Brand. He does great of being like, Hey, I am a cute high school boy. And I also have feelings. So you know what? Shout out Lenny. Um, so while it's tough to watch his parents and not do anything, I think it is a nice like conversation piece. We're gonna be like, Oh, this is something that we probably thought was normal in 2006. And guess what? Not normal for her to be talking to herself.

[00:54:20] Um, anyway, so right now it's read and weep. I still want that laptop. Um, Disney, if you could get on that. Um, top 10 has not changed 10 Halloween town, nine, get a clue eight Eddie's million dollar cook off seven phantom of the Megaplex six smart house five Johnny tsunami four right on track three. Kelly to high school musical and one motocross. Uh, I have this the last time we see the pantabakers. It might be so long pantabakers.

[00:54:50] Um, this is going to get a pantabaker bump for a week and then I'll knock it down. So weirdly enough, I, and I didn't realize it until after I had done it, but I have a pantabakers next to pantabaker. Uh, I have read and weep right above. Life is rough. Um, so I've stuck in the suburbs at 20. I've read and weep at 19, uh, which is behind a windy. We from last week, which is still up there at 13. Uh, my top 10 has not changed.

[00:55:16] Phantom at 10 and full court miracle nine smart house, eight Eddie seven. And cadet Kelly at six, get a clue at five high school musical for motocross at three. Johnny tsunami at number two and the greatest movie of our time in any time for the rest of time. Brink. There you have it. I time. Anytime recipe. You guys, you guys both having this in your top 20 is throwing me a little bit for a loop. I, I have this. I have, maybe I am. I have this at 30 and it's better than half.

[00:55:44] So it's like in the top half of these movies, I think for the pantabakers and the idea of the movie, I have it at 30, but for the, what actually we get, how some characters are portrayed, how they don't really like either you buy into this bit or you don't. And I guess I just didn't. I have it at 30. Um, so that, uh, it is ahead of wait for it, wait for it. It is ahead of the ultimate Christmas present and it's behind up, up and away, which is a movie that's like 80 minutes long.

[00:56:13] That also, also features an entirely black cast as superheroes in the year 2000, which I think is revolutionary and on its own needs to be in the top 30 just because of that. So that's a reading of wheat falls for me. Top 10 has not changed. Halloween town, full court miracle, scream team, get a clue. Eddie's million dollar cook off. Phantom of the Megaplex. Mom's got a date with a vampire. Johnny tsunami cadet Kelly. Motocross. There you go. You have it.

[00:56:38] Uh, it's been lots of talk recently about, uh, cheetah girls, uh, girl and, uh, Aaron's continued affinity for it. Um, so next week we're heading back to New York. We're heading back to, we are not heading back to New York. I mean, we are for like five minutes. Okay. But then we're heading to Barcelona. It's a world tour. Barthol. Barthol. Barthol. We're heading to Barthol. So come on back next week. We'll talk cheetah girls. The deuce. I do like cheetah girls to more than Barthol. Barthol.

[00:57:07] Uh, where we will see if we can understand the dialogue more in two compared to one. I love it. It's going to be a lot of fun. I don't think so. There's more Spanish. Uh, see you next week, everybody. Bye. He comes all the time.
