    Episode 217.5 - Minisode 217.5

    I love that we are all united in our never ending judgment of Sea World! Also I'm still mad on behalf of the caller whose in laws are sending them baby clothes without a bsby. Donate them to a local shelter for domestic abuse they can always take things like that I think
  2. I think it's ok to skip if finances are tight. Mine are too but I only go one trip a year and a friend is going so w are splitting things. There a always other tours and it's no fun to worry about money on a trip trust me. I know first hand.

    I literally physically rubbed my hands together like an old timey evil banker about to close down the community center. Like this:

    I cannot WAIT for you guys to get to A Dog's Life it's one of the few episodes I knew before I started watching/ listening . Its...next level. I would pay so much money, too much money, I would bankrupt myself, to have June watch it and give her opinion
  5. Same! To Catch A Thief was one of my all time favorite Hitchcock movies because I'm a sucker for a heist or caper
  6. It's next level bonkers . Besides the age difference I will never understand why people kept trying to sell Crosby as a romantic lead. Even in his prime he wasn't exactly the Hollywood swooner type. Especially after he got in a certain time period. Just let the man do buddy comedies!
  7. I guess he's only (* only*) 26 years older than Grace Kelly but oh boy has alcohol not done him any favors in the looks department because rewatching it I thought he was old enough t have played her dad instead. Granted he's up against one of the most flawless beauties of all time so that doesn't help him any either.... I can't wait to talk about this! I kind of want to do the Philadelphia Story one day now too because I love Hepburn and Grant in that . I might do a double feature on my own.

    I get chronic migraines and I just got the first I've had in a month (and it's been a pretty bad one. I've been mainlineing episodes of podcasts and between Nicole Byer and this I have a reason to not become cryogenicly frozen like Walt Disney. Also I think you guys have something to do with Murder She Wrote being on prime now!
  9. No he's the Cary Grant( Shocking I know) . Frank Sinatra is Jimmy Stewart.

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    I assume Lea Thomson survived said Fuck This! And fled to what she thought was the relative safety the landlocked Cleveland to take up her true passions: music and duck fucking.

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    the Soap Talk on the episode made me wonder did anyone else watch soap operas while they were younger and if so what was your "Soap" and who introduced you to it? I got into them when I was around 12 because my mom was working and that summer I was allowed to stay home alone but if I wanted to swim my neighbor would have to come over to supervise. She was a Young and The Restless and Bold and the Beautiful fan so I got into it pretty quickly. I also remember occasionally catching Melrose Place in syndication. I think I stopped watching by the time I was 15 or 16.

    Is no one else concerned about the fact the dog looks like it's getting more familiar with Kathryn than Brody ? I feel UNCOMFORTABLE with this card

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    Surely this Seaworld is awash in OSHA regulation issues right? In 2010 they fined Seaworld Of Florida LLC $75,000 for three safety violations " including one classified as willful, following the death of an animal trainer in February". "SeaWorld recognized the inherent risk of allowing trainers to interact with potentially dangerous animals," said Cindy Coe, OSHA's regional administrator in Atlanta, Ga. "Nonetheless, it required its employees to work within the pool walls, on ledges and on shelves where they were subject to dangerous behavior by the animals." The article I read goes on to talk about how the investigation turned up several instances throughout multiple facilities of many unexpected and possibly dangerous interactions with orcas. Honestly if you switch out Great White Shark with Orca you have this movie! https://www.osha.gov/news/newsreleases/national/08232010-0

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    I think he's a private alcoholic who is known to be an alcoholic and as such is trying to hide his drinking. He reminds me a lot of my mom's ex boyfriend . Both LOOK healthy and clean cut but are secretly pouring vodka in their Gatorade. He's a relapsed semi functional alcoholic whose rapidly losing the functional part of his title.
  15. Which seems to be ok because it's still evading me. I might have lost it in a move, I think I got it for my 16th birthday along with a bunch of Audrey Hepburn movies so it's been around for a while. I was really into old Hollywood at the time.
  16. Obviously this is a movie on Alcoholism! I don't know if there isn't a scene from the trailer ( Which shows half the movie for no reason) that doesn't involve people drinking.
  17. It's available for rent on Amazon, ITunes, GooglePlay, and Vudu for $2.99 . I think it's also available on YouTube for rent. Check your local library 's Hoopla as well they might have it. I know I owned a physical copy at one point but I haven't been able to find it yet. I will keep looking though and if I can find it and if someone can teach me to stream it I would be happy to do that!
  18. Grab the latest copy of Spy Magazine, and meet me in Newport, Rhode Island because we're watching : It's Grace Kelly's last film before she became the Princess of Monaco and I was OBSESSED with it as a teenager . It's a musical remake of The Philadelphia Story. I'm a big enough person to say that The Philadelphia Story is the better movie but this is still fun and utterly insane when it comes to the cast. It's TOTALLY plausible Bing Crosby and Grace Kelly were a thing you guys! Also Frank Sinatra is here?

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    Oh a good choice! I just was happy to get my grubby mitts on anything and everything Greco Roman and Egyptian myth related. I'm not sure that the same people who are into Lola Bunny would be Na'vi enthusiasts . They give off two very different energies. I do know that as a kid I appreciated Lola because she was the only girl Loony Toon besides Petunia Pig, Babs Bunny , and the poor cat that Pepe Le Pew harassed that I knew.

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    I also had a *special* wine goblet from my grandma's consignment shop that I drank juice and water from and I would pretend I was a Sophisticated Adult. I also had a very tiny porcelain tea set my other grandmother gave me and I remember just mainlineing shots of hot water while reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire because I was 9 and couldn't reach the cupboard where the teabags were held but by God was I going to be in The Mood of this book ! I wish I had an alter for a god. I'm honestly surprised I didn't because I was really into the book The Egyptian Game.

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    The weird thing is they actually did try to teach dolphins to speak English/ learn Dolphin. Funding was partly secured by NASA and it's one of the more infamous projects from the 60's. I mean it had people giving dolphins LSD, the much talked about dolphin handjobs from a pretty young woman who had turned her lab into her home and physically lives there, and sadly the story also had tragedy as the most well known dolphin Peter committed suicide after the lab shut down according to what I've read. It's understandable why it was a sensational story. The Guardian had a pretty good article on it and I know Drunk History covered it https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/jun/08/the-dolphin-who-loved-me

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    I never thought I would have a Childhood Story like Paul! I also tried to French kiss my mom when I was in kindergarten because my babysitter had been watching something and I thought I had been kissing my mom goodbye wrong . Unlike Paul *I* instantly realized my mom was not here for it so I turned it into a fish kiss by doing that thing where you suck in your cheeks like a little fishy mouth. Apparently fish kisses aren't that great either. That was an awkward drop off. I can't wait to talk about this brand new formerly repressed memory in therapy next week. Thanks Paul!

    Episode 217 - Jaws 3-D

    For those who remember my strong suspicion of dolphins from The Meg an update on humanity's hubris and my growing belief that the dolphins will be how our species meets its end: Earlier this year a Beluga Whale was found with a Russian GoPro strapped to it off the coast of Norway that *might* have been spy / escaped from a Russian naval base in the region. ( It was discovered when it kept going to boats asking for fish and trying to play fetch) Which is bonkers in and of itself. The Russian rebuttal though ! "Interviewed by Russian broadcaster Govorit Moskva, Col Viktor Baranets said "if we were using this animal for spying do you really think we'd attach a mobile phone number with the message 'please call this number'?" "We have military dolphins for combat roles, we don't cover that up," he said. "In Sevastopol (in Crimea) we have a centre for military dolphins, trained to solve various tasks, from analysing the seabed to protecting a stretch of water, killing foreign divers, attaching mines to the hulls of foreign ships." The dolphin facility in Crimea used to be under Ukrainian control, but was seized by the Russian navy in 2014, when Russian forces took over the peninsula. " https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48090616 So now I have to worry about KILLER MILITARY DOLPHINS WHO KNOW HOW TO ATTACH BOMBS Truly dolphins are the monsters of the deep we don't have to make them worse!

    There actually have been incidents where dolphins have tried to have sex with people. Also dolphins can have a really aggressive mating practice where they pretty much violently gang rape the unfortunate female dolphin in question.

    Musical Mondays Week 69 Girls! Girls! Girls!

    Have a great time and be safe wherever your travels take you! I hope everyone can enjoy my family tradition of getting/ eating the ice cream of your choice on the 4th. My grandparents lived out in the country and the tiny one light town ( I mean this literally. They have exactly 1 fourway light) closest to them always has a little parade and the biggest business in town is the Ice Cream/ Pizza Parlor ( which isn't hard to do when there's only a convenience store, dollar store, one room library, a church, a weird but awesome artsy boutique out of someone's converted barn and you) . Everyone who goes to the parade goes to the Parlor. It's Tradition. Also it's a parade of fucking tractors we need something to look forward to besides children hurtling into traffic for cheap candy.
