Ever found yourself reflecting on a weekend so packed with activities that you're left both exhausted and gratified? That's exactly where our latest episode takes you, as we unravel the tales of a whirlwind weekend filled with youth events, last-minute errands, and a community service project that truly tested our limits. We're sharing the ups and downs, the laughter, and the occasional mishaps (courtesy of a wayward UPS delivery that sparked an impromptu road trip). Plus, we get real about the energy it takes to serve others, and how we recharge with our favorite movie classics and hobbies.

Then, let's rewind time and indulge in the warm glow of nostalgia, as we reminisce about the golden age of movie rentals, from Blockbuster nights to today's streaming services. We can't help but gush over our love for 80s and 90s cinema gems, from the heart-pumping "Top Gun" to the iconic dance scenes of "Dirty Dancing." But it's not all about the past—we've got an eerie tale from church that might just send a shiver down your spine. 

Finally, we're chopping it up about the timeless flicks that have left an everlasting stamp on our culture. Imagine reliving the best dance moves, the intense dojo battles, and the unforgettable stories aboard epic ocean liners—all while we debate the costs and merits of streaming versus sequels.

Speaker 1:

Hey guys, welcome back. We might be on the struggle bus this week.

Speaker 2:

Why would you say that?

Speaker 1:

I'm tired.

Speaker 2:

Why are you tired?

Speaker 1:

Because you don't let me rest.

Speaker 2:

This weekend was a struggle. We were just busy, busy, busy, very busy weekend, like sun up to sun down, wouldn't you say?

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

At least for me, because I got it really early saturday worked, got tires for the truck well, we started friday what was friday? D now but that's right. We had a event at church. It's a youth event called d. Now it's for, like, discipleship training for youth, young adults. How many people do we have? How many young adults and teachers? Probably close to 40, maybe.

Speaker 1:

I think we had 30 kids.

Speaker 2:

Okay, and then you throw teachers, so it's probably say 40. And then we had a band.

Speaker 1:

Close to 50.

Speaker 2:

Okay, well, if you like some volunteers and all that, yeah for sure. What was the band's name?

Speaker 1:

I don't remember, I Well, if you like some volunteers and all that? Yeah, for sure. What was the band's name? I don't remember, I don't know, coulter, coulter. That was the singer, I think.

Speaker 2:

They were good yeah, the girl could really sing really good yeah. So we did that Friday. Well, friday it started.

Speaker 1:

Well, friday UPS just can't get nothing right. Actually, they do get stuff right, but when you're waiting on a package and they tell you it's going to be here, and then you get the message non-delivered because the business is closed. We close half day on Fridays and we're sitting here waiting on this package why are you waiting on the package?

Speaker 2:

Was it important?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was for um. It was for D-NOWS.

Speaker 2:

Oh, it was for the their t-shirts and their books. Oh, it was for the event. Okay. We have a pretty good UPS guy, so Well, let me ask you this real quick Was uh, was it ordered in a timely manner? Did y'all wait and order at the last minute in this?

Speaker 1:

one. Well, we had kids sign up last minute, so we had to order more.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so that pushed y'all's order to be a little bit well, cut it close. Yeah, that's what was going to happen.

Speaker 1:

Well, I, mean it was guaranteed to be there.

Speaker 2:

Okay.

Speaker 1:

They just UPS said the business was closed and they weren't going to deliver it. So we thought we had all that fixed and apparently we didn't. So I had to make a trip 40 minutes away one way to like a ups outlet to like depot ups place it's like a depot, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

is it like an office thing? Is it kind of like a store?

Speaker 1:

but it's not a store, it's not a store, it's just an office, because somebody was dropping stuff off when I got there, so it's just where you mail it.

Speaker 2:

So you had to go all that way for like 15 bucks. Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 1:

Yep.

Speaker 2:

Just because they decided to say, hey, y'all are closed, we're not delivering.

Speaker 1:

Yep, so that started my weekend.

Speaker 2:

Well, that was late in the evening, I mean, that was four. This started at 6, 630. And then, like at 5, is when you found out that you were going to have to go do that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah so.

Speaker 2:

So, yeah, anyway, we got started with the young adults I keep wanting to call them kids and fed them, did all that stuff, and then here I go with me having another headache and everything. So I didn't hang I. I didn't think you are a headache I think I am too, but it falls back. You know I did have a questionable piece of bacon this week on a biscuit.

Speaker 2:

You know, a few episodes back we talked about that brain eating amoeba slash tapeworm that that guy had in his brain because of the undercooked bacon you just got that in your head well, exactly, exactly so. But no, this thing, yeah, it was a lingering all day and it just wouldn't let up and it progressively got worse and uh, so I was no help to anybody jody turned down food.

Speaker 1:

I turned down, he's sick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I turned down food, so I didn't stay but maybe an hour and and then I went home and let them have it. But then Saturday it turned into the all-day event helping do the D-Now and then we painted Me and Amanda and Jania painted our children's department Well, continued painting it. They've been working on this for several weekends and we just put an extra coat on there and was trying to do some door facings and all that and it took a long time. We did a lot of painting. It ended up being about nine o'clock last night when it was all said and done, locking doors and heading to the house.

Speaker 1:

In between that we had to get food ready.

Speaker 2:

Food ready for the kids from when they came back, or young adults rather. So yeah, the kids they're back and forth from the church to their host homes and then back, and this, that and the other, so somebody's got to be at the church when they get back. So, yeah, and then got up early this morning.

Speaker 1:

So we're not 100% today no we're not, I am.

Speaker 2:

I'm fine. I'm perfect. If I don't have a headache, I'm perfect. Mr.

Speaker 1:

Perfect over there, well, okay.

Speaker 2:

So I'm chipper, I'm talkative, I'm trying to, I'm slowing down so I can let you speed up and get close to my range.

Speaker 1:

No, I'm all right, let's just talk something easy this week.

Speaker 2:

What do you want to talk?

Speaker 1:

about. Let's talk movies and what we used to watch and what we watch now and what we used to do. We already talked about that one time, though.

Speaker 2:

Going to.

Speaker 1:

Blockbuster and video store.

Speaker 2:

I don't think you can ever. Yeah, we talked about all that. You know about how times changed. You went from that to streaming to netflix and all that stuff. It's just funny how that happens, because you never see it coming. You go from the vgs to the dvd and then I don't when's the last time you bought a dv.

Speaker 1:

I don't have a clue. I don't either. I bought a CD a week ago for my kids in Sunday school, but DVD.

Speaker 2:

Because I don't think we even have a DVD player anymore.

Speaker 1:

I don't think so.

Speaker 2:

I think we already talked about that I think so yeah, so we don't have a need for any of that. So now you can stream everything. So it's the same thing as, like, if you would you rather watch a new release, like if you go on netflix or something like that and you see this newer stuff that's coming out, or would you if you come across some of the older stuff that you've seen before in the past 20 years ago?

Speaker 1:

I like the older stuff.

Speaker 2:

you'd rather go to that. Yeah, I know one I going to start this off One that I've seen this movie so many times. You know because you can't put baby in a corner, but Dirty Dancing Amanda was like it's unbelievable how much she liked that. I don't know if it was.

Speaker 1:

Every time it's on.

Speaker 2:

Was it Patrick Swayze? I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Just a movie we grew up with. Yeah, Now that you look back on it, I can't believe our parents really let us watch it. I mean it wasn't bad, but no, but just look at the title Dirty Dancing.

Speaker 2:

What do you think?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that was the movie.

Speaker 2:

As a teenager it was no different than any other movie for the most part, except for that, if you think about it, that didn't have nudity. I've watched Arnold. Schwarzenegger movies growing up and you see nudity or something crazy like that, right, but my goodness, if I ever are flipping through and you happen to not be looking at the TV and I see Dirty Dancing on the Guide or something like that boy, I am booking it, trying to get past that so you don't see it that one or Top Gun.

Speaker 2:

Top Gun. Now you know, I don't know now if I like the old Top Gun better than the new one.

Speaker 1:

I do the old one's better. The old one is yeah, I don't like sequels. I mean, some of them are okay, but there's not many.

Speaker 2:

I think this one pulled it off. Though you don't think so, I could watch it. I could go in there right now and watch it.

Speaker 1:

I could watch it, but I still like that first one better.

Speaker 2:

You know, I always say it's entertainment, it's all about entertainment. It doesn't have to be believable as long as I'm entertained, and I was entertained with the new Top Gun.

Speaker 1:

I still like the first one.

Speaker 2:

I don't understand how Tom Cruise looks, just like he did To me. He does. Of course he's aged some, but he has not aged the way I would think a 60-something-year-old would age.

Speaker 1:

That hurt. Tom Cruise is 60.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, something like that Really. Yeah, something like that. He's like early 60s, 61, I think, I think that's what it is Just say 60, whatever. That's hard to believe it is very hard to believe, but he is so active in these movies. You know he usually does all his stunts for the most part. You know he's done all these Mission Impossibles.

Speaker 1:

I was going to say, talking about him, you like those Mission Impossibles?

Speaker 2:

I don't think you've ever watched any of them. Have you the Mission Impossibles? I don't. Business is home. If I've watched it, of course you've had to have been along for the ride, right, yep.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, just along for the ride.

Speaker 2:

But if I see you know there's certain things that if you're flipping through and you see it on tv.

Speaker 1:

You just stop and you're gonna watch it.

Speaker 2:

Mine would be tombstone yeah, I always stop for tombstone. I don't know what it is about that movie. I like kurt russell. He's your huckleberry. Yeah, sure is, but like you know all of the references you know that you make in there, like well, johnny ringo, and then he said well, bye, which I make that reference all the time, all the time.

Speaker 2:

Oh, my goodness, Really, stop that. This is crazy. All right, we're going to shut this down real quick. I'm a little bit scared, oh, by the way, that happening right there. Let me tell you what happened at church today during service. I was in the foyer, got my back to the door. You know that you come in, I was facing. I was in the foyer facing the doors that go in the sanctuary. So I've got the front doors. They're about 10 foot behind me. There's four doors, my back to it, the furthest one to the left. I hear the door open up and I turn around and the door has opened up on its own and it opened up about two foot and then just stayed there and so I walked up there to it real quick to like shut it or whatever, and there was no wind. I felt no wind. I'm not saying it was the wind or wasn't the wind, but I felt no wind. I pulled the door closed and I was creeped out.

Speaker 2:

So explain that there's no explanation so I gotta go back on the cameras and see what it looked like. I do want to know. You might not, I do, I think, but I was. I I don't know, I don't know how they would do it, but it really does. I, I experienced it. I don't know how it happened. Maybe it was a wind gust and it was over with by the time I got right there to the door.

Speaker 2:

I don't know, but strange because it was windy today yeah, but I've never seen, if there's no wind gusts out there. I've never seen one of our front doors open up on its own, so back to the movies, oh, back back to the future. If you don't stop this, I'm done this is getting a little bit ridiculous now back to the future.

Speaker 1:

How many of them were there?

Speaker 2:

I don't know. You know when you?

Speaker 1:

started like those. Well, they weren't a remake, they were a.

Speaker 2:

Just a continuation Because if you like it said to be continued at the end of them. Yeah, I still think the first one was probably the best.

Speaker 1:

I liked the first one.

Speaker 2:

You know, if you get these sequels and all that you know, three or four movies in, you know it gets to a point where they're stretching.

Speaker 1:

They're trying to make a movie and it just doesn't. I don't like how they try to remake the old ones now.

Speaker 2:

I just think they don't have nothing to do. Yeah, well, on the back of the future, it wasn't the last one when they're in the wild west or something. I remember the train the train yeah, and I don't remember a whole lot about that one, because I just didn't, I didn't enjoy it as much so maybe that one was the stretch, but the first one was fine. The second one was good. One was the stretch, but the first one was fine.

Speaker 1:

The second one was good.

Speaker 2:

What was the second one?

Speaker 1:

That's what I was trying to think, like I have it pictured, but I can't. Hey, let me tell you something.

Speaker 2:

Hey, let me tell you the second movie. It was like the best movie I've ever seen. What was it about? You know, I don't remember. I don't remember Like I can get it. I get it, so do I need to wait on you while you're thinking?

Speaker 1:

about it. No, don't wait on that one. You might be here a while if you wait on that, sorry.

Speaker 2:

What about Ghostbusters? I remember Ghostbusters.

Speaker 1:

That's okay, the first one, I think.

Speaker 2:

Ghostbusters was that that had to be like the early 80s. Maybe it seems like I was really young. That was around that. Well, et, I was really young with ET.

Speaker 1:

but I, I like ET.

Speaker 2:

I fell in love with that movie At whatever age I was. I wanted everything and I had a ton of ET stuff.

Speaker 1:

I had the ET doll. Yeah, the little plush stuff, the little red heart doll, yeah a little plush little red heart, no red finger. Well, he had a red finger in there. Yeah, it was like leather, but I had. That's what I, yeah. And then I had the long neck, some of the stuff you bought had the long neck and some of it didn't.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I do remember the leather type material, but a little wind-up toys lunch boxes yeahes, yeah, I had a lunchbox for everything. I wish I had my lunchboxes. I need to get with my mom and see.

Speaker 1:

The metal lunchboxes.

Speaker 2:

I bet I've got a metal lunchbox somewhere in a cabinet in her house.

Speaker 1:

There's no telling.

Speaker 2:

I bet you I do Like a He-Man or something, something crazy. It'd be nice if I had the ET one.

Speaker 1:

Lunchboxes and thermos. You know, thermos used to come with lunchbox.

Speaker 2:

It's funny how all that stuff goes to soft pack. Now you know you can't buy a hard lunchbox. Well, you probably can't have that because of school. You know rules or something.

Speaker 1:

now and then, what do we have? What?

Speaker 2:

about Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I saw that the other day or saw it on. Was you into that, Do you remember?

Speaker 1:

that one, it was okay.

Speaker 2:

Matthew Broderick.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I really liked that when it came out.

Speaker 1:

I remember bits and pieces, Like I don't remember the whole thing. That's not the one. Is that where the one the guy dies and they? Drive him around.

Speaker 2:

You're talking about the guy that was sitting in a chair on the diving board and then he falls into the pool and they get him out. No, you're thinking. Are you thinking about the older guy that died weekend at Bernie's?

Speaker 1:

Yep, that's it. Okay, that's it. No, that's different. I was going's it. No, that's different. I was going to think no, that's not the same movie. Then what's Ferris Bueller's day off?

Speaker 2:

It's where he takes a day off from school. Yeah, he acts like he's sick with his parents and then all day long he's trying to keep from getting caught from, like his dad.

Speaker 1:

It's his friend's car.

Speaker 2:

His friend's car.

Speaker 2:

He talks him into taking it out and they go to a restaurant, they pay valet parking and it ends up the valet guys take that Ferrari out for a spin and puts like a bunch of miles on it while they're eating. And then when they find out they think that they can park it at home. Lift up the back end. They can park it at home. Lift up the back end, put it in reverse and make the speedometer or odometer go backwards to get the miles back up. Oh yeah, and it doesn't work. I really like that.

Speaker 1:

There's another one you really like Star Wars.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1:

I think we had a Star Wars marathon one weekend years ago. Didn't we Back when we used to get DVDs?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, a long time ago, A long time ago. Yeah, they would do that and they probably still do. They would start, you know, with the first.

Speaker 1:

I never understood them.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, they're not in.

Speaker 1:

They're not in order or something.

Speaker 2:

The way they were. Yeah, I've tried to explain this to you before.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't get it yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'm not going to start now. Yeah, Star Wars was really good.

Speaker 1:

I mean I like them If they're on TV, I always stop.

Speaker 2:

It's changed a little bit now because they have so many. Well, what is it? The Mandalorian, all that they had on the Disney.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

What is it? Disney Plus.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Mandalorian.

Speaker 2:

Mandalorian. And what is the Baby? Yoda Roku Roku.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's not Baby Yoda.

Speaker 2:

I know it's not, but I just used that as a title.

Speaker 1:

I know, I think it's isn't it.

Speaker 2:

What's? Guardians of the Galaxy? What's that? Is that not one of the characters on there, the tree looking thing? There goes coco jumping down off the couch that's groot, groot okay I was just making sure you're all right. That's fine, but mandalorian, I really like the mandalorian and you're talking grogu, grogu okay I believe you ain't gonna show me a picture.

Speaker 1:

No, you don't yeah I've Referred to as Baby.

Speaker 2:

Yoda Actually behind me. What's right here?

Speaker 1:

Baby Yoda.

Speaker 2:

Grogu. Grogu, however you say it, A little like stuffed animal thing and I've got two bobbleheads I'm looking at too on the shelf right there. How about that? All right, another one of my favorites, godfather.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, now, now even you like that, don't you?

Speaker 2:

I like the last one oh no, the last one is don't even count, it is terrible is there three?

Speaker 1:

yeah, so one and two is fine you know very long movies, but they're good.

Speaker 2:

Very long, very good and that should be another marathon. If you want to to do a marathon, you might as well. That's an all-day event.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I was thinking too. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Did you ever?

Speaker 1:

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Is that right, isn't that?

Speaker 2:

what it?

Speaker 1:

did? I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that what it did, maybe, so I don new one that came out, yeah, yeah, a few years ago.

Speaker 1:

Of course I hadn't seen that footloose kevin bacon.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't. I think that might have been a little bit before your time too.

Speaker 1:

I think you'd have been really young, pre pre-teen I know, but dirty dancing and all that was before. But we watched. Well, yeah, if you watch dirty dancing.

Speaker 2:

You should have watched footloose.

Speaker 1:

It's kind of along the same lines, kind of I don't think I've seen it all the way through I liked it.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I probably hadn't seen it in 20 years. Does it come on TV at any point? I don't know. Karate Kid.

Speaker 1:

I like some Karate Kid.

Speaker 2:

They had several, didn't they? They had one and two, and then, several years later, didn't they have a third one?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I don't remember that one. They had a girl one right.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, was that the second one?

Speaker 1:

I don't know, I don't think it was the second one, maybe the third, or did the girl come into the picture in the second one? We should just have a marathon of old movies. Can you watch all these old movies somewhere? Stream them.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I'm sure you can.

Speaker 1:

You gotta pay for them. Sometimes you have to pay for the old movies that are like 20 years old. You go on there. Now why do I want to pay for an old movie?

Speaker 2:

Everybody needs money. They're gonna charge you. They're gonna try and charge you for whatever.

Speaker 1:

Yeah but I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2:

Indiana Jones.

Speaker 1:

I've probably seen one or two of those.

Speaker 2:

You like those Raiders of the Lost Ark Temple of Doom? Maybe, Don't care for. Like the.

Speaker 1:

When.

Speaker 2:

Harrison Ford's in his 60s or 70s, when he's done these last couple.

Speaker 1:

Well, it's like Rambo, ain't it?

Speaker 2:

Well, this is what you're talking about the sequels and all. You're getting to the point where there's no sense and just keep the originals.

Speaker 1:

They were good. Let it go.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, don't force it Let it go, but you know Top Gun waited 20 or 30.

Speaker 1:

Dirty Dancing had some kind of spin-off or something, wasn't it like?

Speaker 2:

Dirty Dancing Brazil, or something like that, wasn't it called something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it had like a name behind it Havana, something like that, havana maybe or something.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so just got a notification that Nicholas is home. So the dogs are probably going to bark because they just heard it. Now they're staring at the door waiting to hear something. So if you hear a bark, we're not going to talk about it, You'll just hear it the Goonies. Do you know the Goonies?

Speaker 1:

I know them, but I don't know that I've watched them.

Speaker 2:

Maybe I think the Goonies was that more of a young boy type movie. Yeah, I think so Because it's like a treasure pirate ship thing. Yeah maybe who was Rocky Road? Do you remember that guy? Guy, oh what was his name funny I guess that's a guy thing, I guess so a boy thing coming to america was that in the 80s I guess it probably the late 80s.

Speaker 1:

I don't know that I ever watched it eddie murphy and uh arsenio hall there you go yeah, I think was before.

Speaker 2:

Was it before Arsenio got his?

Speaker 1:

talk show.

Speaker 2:

Maybe that's what got him a little bit further into maybe I don't know, I'm just pulling at stuff now. I don't know. Shawshank Redemption.

Speaker 1:

Never seen it. Never seen it. No, really no, never seen it.

Speaker 2:

It's one of those very long movies, something you know. I like long movies. I thought you'd seen it. I'm not necessarily thinking that you'd like it, but Mm-mm.

Speaker 1:

I've never seen it.

Speaker 2:

Forrest Gump.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I like it.

Speaker 2:

If it was on TV, I probably wouldn't watch it.

Speaker 1:

You don't like it.

Speaker 2:

I do like it, but I just don't think I want to relive watch it again To re-watch?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, I don't guess I'd re-watch it.

Speaker 2:

I got something else to choose from. Yeah, what else Pretty Woman? Was that the 80s or 90s? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

I watch it every time it's on If I scroll through.

Speaker 2:

Early 90s Might be 90. You think I think so Well, I think so Well. There's another movie similar to, like a Dirty Dancing type, I mean you got a woman, that's.

Speaker 1:

But I don't think I watched it when I was a kid. I don't think I watched that when I was a kid.

Speaker 2:

No, and now, I wouldn't have watched it when I was young because it's just nothing. Yeah, it didn't. I'm looking for, you know, fighting movies. You know action packed, what I'm trying to get, like a.

Speaker 1:

Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger. Titanic, that's good, that's long.

Speaker 2:

We went to the movies to see that.

Speaker 1:

Did we?

Speaker 2:

Yes, here we go. You don't remember that? We sure did.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we watched Jack float off the door, poor Jack.

Speaker 1:

She just let him go. There was enough room she could have held on. I think she could have.

Speaker 2:

There was enough room on that door that he could have flopped up on there too. Yeah, they're going to die.

Speaker 1:

You're freezing to death there is no way.

Speaker 2:

I hate it for them, then we done the Titanic in the mountains. Yeah, they had a kind of Titanic adventure thing, whatever.

Speaker 1:

But you go in.

Speaker 2:

You went in that cold room, you went into a room and the room was the temperature of what it would have been that night, and then they had a pool of water in front of you. Oh, but you're this person Hold on, but there's a pool of water in front of you and you can put your hand in the pool of water or whatever, and say that was the temperature. So you can kind of. Why are you crossing your eyes at me?

Speaker 1:

Because you need to stop.

Speaker 2:

I can't stop here. In a second I'm done, Go ahead.

Speaker 1:

But you got to go to the beginning. You get this card where you're, this person, one of the passengers on the ship. You find out at the end if you survived or not. Yeah, I think I survived it at the end. If you survived or not, yeah, I think I survived.

Speaker 2:

It was a little, I think I was third class, but I survived. You're third class, all right.

Speaker 1:

You're about to get in trouble, so you need to keep on.

Speaker 2:

But I like, I liked it.

Speaker 1:

What about? What about that movie? We may already talked about this one, the movie, I think, when I was a senior and we went to the movies to see it, but we fell asleep in the movie.

Speaker 2:

Deep impact.

Speaker 1:

That was the stupidest movie.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

The whole class went, or some not the whole class, but a lot of classmates went.

Speaker 2:

Basically, an asteroid was going to destroy everything on the planet. Not a good movie you had a select few that was going gonna be able to survive something like that yeah, I didn't make it to but the sixth sense oh, that was a good one I was.

Speaker 1:

I did not see I did see it coming, yeah yeah, but it's almost like how did you not realize?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

I think he was the Coleman side, wasn't he? Well, no, because they said they saw him at Curry Ace Hardware.

Speaker 2:

He's been saying there's always rumors.

Speaker 1:

That's how rumors get started.

Speaker 2:

But I never could get an actual, definite yes or no. I've looked it up and all that, but I mean, if you ask people around here, he definitely had a house owner. So what about you know, Mel Gibson? What'd he do earlier on?

Speaker 1:

Morgan Freeman. He's a good actor, yeah we'll get to him.

Speaker 2:

They did a remake of that one not too long ago.

Speaker 1:

Never saw it though Never saw it.

Speaker 2:

Never saw it.

Speaker 1:

Our taste has changed from when we first got married to now. You can't watch anything now.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we try. That was back when we weren't involved in church and stuff like that I'd say. But we try, I try and find stuff that's not R-rated, that doesn't have the language, don't want anything with nudity, anything like that. And then we, I'll tell you this and then we're going to go Just like watch something on netflix the other night. You know, when we have time, we're always like let's try and find a series to where we can watch an episode every once we're watching.

Speaker 1:

We like watching series more than movies. Now it seems like, yeah, you do, because of the time, wise I think I did one is it was a baby yeah.

Speaker 2:

I guess it's on Netflix it was supposed to be. I don't even know if this is a true story. It seems like they said based on a true story, but it's somewhere in England or something like that. And there's a lady that she starts stalking this guy. She likes him, meets him, he feels sorry for her. He just says like a kind gesture, says something nice to her or whatever like that.

Speaker 2:

And then she just all of a sudden thinks that he's in love with her and she ends up like getting his email address, getting his phone number, and is like texting him, you know 200 times a day, a couple hundred emails a day, all this kind of stuff. And you're just like why does this guy keep holding on and just not telling her to? You know, back off, she'd like stalk him at home, be outside his house and all this kind of stuff. Finally, it comes down to where he. You know he does it. He just like says stop, leave me alone, all this kind of threatens to call the cops and all this kind of stuff. And then it takes an odd twist Next thing. You know he's on a dating site for transgender women and I'm like wow.

Speaker 1:

Shut her down. I'm like how did this happen? I said shut her down.

Speaker 2:

I mean, I was like this kind of was, you know, interesting, whatever was going on, and then that's it. So whatever was going on, and then, uh, that's it. So I don't know, I don't know how you pick. How do you pick what to watch? You try and read the description, you base out, you know, you just kind of get an idea for it, word of mouth or whatever, and then a lot of times you can tell in the first five or ten minutes you know you're like I'm not into this turn it off.

Speaker 2:

But this one right here I was like it slowly got all right. It's like where is it gonna go? And then it just went bonkers. It did it like nothing like that said it in the description, but anyway so that's about all we got this week, folks all we got all we got all amanda's got all I got so you want to talk about a few movies, and that's it.
