🎵 This is Free With Ads, the podcast that asks the question, why pay Redbox 250 a pop for a bunch of Nicolas Cage movies when you can go on YouTube for free and watch him yell at Cher about bread? I'm Jordan Morris. And I'm Emily Fleming. Today's movie is Moonstruck, the rom-com classic about a big Italian family who are all horny for the moon. Before we talk about this movie, which is, as of this recording, streaming free with ads, let's talk about something else we saw for free on the internet.

What you got? So this will be a little bit old by the time this comes out, but I think it's a debate that I feel like we should weigh in on. Definitely. This was a Variety article that came out a bit ago and created a real chat storm over there on Twitter.com. That's what I still call it. I'll probably still call it HBO Max, too. It's not going to change what I call these things. So over on Twitter, people were interested in this Variety article.

The 10 Hottest Dads in Animated Movies. This was a ranking of the 10 hottest cartoon dads. Everyone had an opinion. Oh, yeah. And I think kind of the understood winner was the dad from Inside Out. Who is voiced by Kyle MacLachlan. Kyle MacLachlan. So, yes.

Immediately, yes. Okay. You agree with this. How do you feel? Well, here's the thing. I do want to tell you, we did do a Good Mythical More with this very subject.

Oh my gosh. Okay, wonderful. Where did you land in that video? I don't know. I didn't write that one, but I know that Rhett and Link did like a Hot or Not style where they like compare people. So go check that out.

But I don't remember who it was. But I don't remember who the options were. But for me, Stu from Rugrats is maybe my daddy. Matt wants to say something. No, I agree. I like Stu from Rugrats a lot. He's so sad. He's so sad. He's so sad.

He might be a little bit of a- You're like a broken man. Well, a broken man who loves his kids. Yeah. And, I mean, he's a hopeful man, but he gets a little bummed. I think he's at the moment where it's like, I love Rugrats because of how, I don't know, authentic the parents are to experiences that I was having as a kid. All of them are stressed out, and having a kid is hard. Yeah.

So he's kind of struggling with it. It was such a funny show. But he's a nice man. It's so funny that that show for kids, and me and my sister loved Rugrats. I was obsessed. We were so crazy about Rugrats. Half of that show is about middle-aged anxiety.

It is! Yeah. It is. Yeah. It's amazing. The other half is just teaching the goyim about Jewish holidays. That's right. It's true. I think that's so cool.

But also, Phil and Lil's mom was like... Ah, yes. A feminist icon. She was so fun. She was great. Always in workout gear and always wearing a sweatshirt with the female symbol on it, right?

And a sweatband over her head. And I mean, she was so funny. I thought that she was a great character. But yeah, Stu. Stu all the way. Here's my... Angelica was an anti-Semite. I bet she was. Matt, we're having fun, okay? Matt, we're having fun.

Oh my god, I'm just now realizing the little blonde girl who was basically a tyrant. That's right. And a dictator. That's exactly. Oh my God. You're putting it together. You're blowing the lid off this thing. I'm blowing the lid off.

But what about Cynthia the doll? You know what? She seems like a victim. Yeah, what does Reptar stand for, Matt? The military industrial complex? Absolutely. Okay. Dark Horse, hot animated dad.

Go with me here. Okay. Ned Flanders. Yes. Ned Flanders. Clearly. He's a responsible man. I know you like a responsible man, Emily.

My pussy just dried up. Really? Have you ever seen him? Stupid sexy Flanders? I don't know if my pussy will ever open up again. Google Ned Flanders in the shower. Yeah. Google Ned Flanders.

Absolutely not. Come on. Shaking his butt when he was skiing? When he was skiing and he's in that one ski. I look up some horrendous shit for porn. Like tentacle stuff. That's where you draw the line though? Yeah.

No. I'm not doing that. Ned Flanders in the shower? I don't want to look at anything I don't want to look at. Okay. I understand. I respect that. You shouldn't have to. And you shouldn't have to, Emily. You Flanders in the shower? I don't want to look at anything I don't want to look at. Okay, I understand. I respect that. I just think you guys-

And you shouldn't have to, Emily. You shouldn't have to. There's the conversation- Just because I want you to Google Ned Flanders in the shower doesn't mean- Jordan, why don't you Google it and show me? Okay, I have. Oh, you will? You have?

Oh, yeah, I can- Yeah, you do it. I can do it. Yeah, yeah, Google it. Anyway, all I'm saying- Oh, you just don't want it in your search history. No, I do not. Just do a private browser.

I have a pretty sweet deal with my hentai situation right now. I think my search is getting where I need to go. Just go incognito mode, then you can look up anything. Don't. Okay, here, this is Flanders in the shower. Is that doing anything for you? No, he's in a fucking shower cap. Are you kidding?

Well, he's protecting his hair. Anyway. Then why does he have a gut when he has pants on and a sweater? Because it's funny that when he takes it off, he's rich. So he just sucks it tucking his shirt in? That's fucking lame. Wow, all right. I hate him.

I don't like him. Fellas, learn how to tuck in that shirt, I guess, is the lesson. I guess so. No, just be, ugh. I just think that- You just hate a godly man. No, I think that you guys are misunderstanding the female gaze to the point where you're ruining it.

Well, that's clear. You are ruining it. That's obvious without it being said. Listen, don't take away my Barry Keoghan or whatever, okay? I know he looks weird. Yeah. But he's so hot. But don't show me-

All right, well. He's not Stanley Tucci. I know you guys think you're close here. You're just not anywhere close. Anyway. I don't know what women think is hot. Stanley Tucci. Stanley Tucci, apparently.

Why? All right, well, let us know. Free with ads at MaximumFun.org. Is Ned Flanders hot? We want to hear from you. I swear to God. I can't believe King Triton was third. I know. Yeah, do we want to weigh from you. I swear to God. I can't believe King Triton was third. I know!

Yeah, do we want to weigh in on the... So with these rankings, obviously the inside-out dad voiced by Kyle MacLachlan was number one. Agent Cooper. But we got, yeah, King Triton's on there,

Mr. Incredible, Miles Morales' dad. Mr. Incredible's pretty hot. Yeah. But King Triton, to me... He's the ultimate zaddy. Yeah, he isn't... I mean, I feel like there'son to me. He's the ultimate zaddy. Yeah. He isn't. I mean, I feel like there's got to be a whole generation of women out there who want a King

Triton in their lives. Yes. What else explains the liver king? I don't want him in my life. And I bet they find the closest thing they can get to King Triton at the Ren Faire. 100%. You get a guy with a long white beard, a little crown. Or like a CrossFit gym maybe.

Oh yeah, maybe. The reason why King Triton is so hot is because he has the head of a gross guy and then the body of a perfect man. Of a perfect strong man. There's something, you know that if he's at the Ren Faire, that is just soaked in beer. There's an uncooked macaroni noodle in there. Why is it in there?

A little bit of turkey leg in the stash. Yep, it's nasty, but then you got that juicy, what is it called where it's like the cum gutters? Yeah, yeah, yeah, the D'Angelo's. Yeah, yeah, the D'Angelo's. He's got one of those and you're like, am I right? Yeah. Going right down to the fishtail.

I saw a roadie once who looked exactly like King Triton. And I was like, that guy has never not fucked. Yeah, every night. I just could tell. I was like, this guy's living the goddamn dream. He has not stopped fucking. He has not stopped fucking since he became King Triton. Ariel!

I had a crush on one of the roadies on tour. All right. But nothing came of it well hey if you're out there and you're moving speakers you might be the guy I got a crush on hey a lot of hunks in today's movie nah there is one

okay I can make a case for two but we'll get there when we get there. This is Moonstruck. I've seen this movie exactly once before this. Y'all had not seen it. I had seen it like once before, but it was like kind of in the background of something. Okay. Never seen it.

Thought it was a movie about witches. You're probably thinking of the other Cher movie, Witches of Eastwick. Yeah, clearly. And boy, was I surprised when no witchiness happened. There's no eye of newt in this, you said. Where's the eye of newt?

Yeah, the eye of newt when the moon hits your eye of newt like a big piece of pie of newt. Yes. So this movie opens... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I'm just saying, maybe it's not directly witchy, but there is talk of bad luck.

That's true. Some curses. Mm-hmm. And a lot of Catholicism stuff in there. There you go. So is it mystical? Yes. Catholicism, the witchiest religion.

It truly is. So yes, this movie opens with Dean Martin singing about the moon hitting your eye. Oh, that's Dean Martin? That's Dean Martin. Hitting your eye like a big pizza pie. I knew I was watching a very Italian movie. I was like, oh, I should have like, I should get a pizza. I should do Italian food

for this. I did the same thing. But I had in my fridge fajitas that were about to go bad. So I'm like, I'm going to eat these fajitas. And then I sang to myself, when the moon hits your ass like some hot fajitas, that's your dinner. That's your dinner. So you can sing about any cuisine to the tune of that song.

I did get pizza from DeSano's. Oh, yeah? How was it? So good. And then I got this chopped salad that has big pieces pieces of salami and then like cheese in it. Do you go to DeSano's? I used to when I lived in that neighborhood. I miss it.

So good. If you ever visit in L.A., DeSano's, a great place. Originated in Nashville, Tennessee. Really? Oh my gosh. Fun fact. So we're going around New York in the 80s. Everybody's walking here.

Cab, cab, cab. Honk, honk, honk. Steam coming out of a thing. We meet Cher, she's like a freelance bookkeeper, keeping everybody's books, and she is skeptical of love. She's keeping books for a florist guy, and she's like, eh, the flowers, they're just gonna die anyways.

And then he hands her one, and she gets a little smile to where you could tell there's still part of her that dreams of love. Great little character building moments up top. Well, this whole intro was a great character building moment because it was her interacting with various different types of people because she travels from business to business to be an accountant for all these people.

So the first one is like a whatever. It's an undertaker. It's an undertaker. And she's like, she takes care of every man she meets. Yeah, sure. I think there's a big theme in this movie of women babying men. There's like a big, big part of it. And she's always like taking care of everyone, but she's like getting butter off of this

guy's tie. Yeah. And then, you know, it's, but it's very sweet. So I liked that writing. So she is, and she is dating Danny Aiello, who I think is the tallest person in this movie.

Ooh! Tallest guy. And they are having dinner at an Italian restaurant. And, you know, you could tell that they like each other, but they're not in love. It's a kind of a convenient relationship.

Yeah. I liked that detail that he wasn't an asshole. Me too. He's just a guy. It's a it's a kind of a convenient relationship yeah um i liked that detail that he wasn't an asshole he's me too he's just a guy it's a great it is great because in a in a lesser rom-com yeah that guy would be such a fucking dick yeah and he would be like openly cheating on her um and you know you could see why she would leave him but in this it is just like hey you know sometimes you date nice people and you're not in love with them. It just like, it feels very real.

I wish that more movies did that because, I mean, I guess I was pretty influenced by like rom-coms and stuff. And I always thought he's nice to you or he's not. It was like black and white. But the worst is when you like someone and you still need to break up with them. Yeah, for sure. And I think there needs to be more representation of that because sometimes it can just be that instead of uh this person's a horrible person and he's still a funny character he's a real funny like man baby and real charming in his own way yeah total man baby um so i actually a little diversion

to talk about danny ilo just because I want to share this with the world. Obviously, this guy's been in a lot of great stuff. Do the Right Thing, Jacob's Ladder. The thing I know- The Godfather 2. By the way, Do the Right Thing and Jacob's Ladder are both free with ads right now. Oh, are they? Yeah. We should have ILO July.

Oh, I love it. You guys, I cannot remember anything about my life, but I knew both of those were free with ads right now. Yeah, that is wild. You have your priorities straight. No, I just obsess over our list over and over every day. I think this podcast might be destroying your brain, but it's for good. All right, cool, cool. So I know Danny Aiello from this SNL sketch from the 90s during those years where it was like David Koechner and Mark McKinney.

I think they're considered bad SNL years. I loved them as a kid. And he was in this sketch that totally ate shit live. No. But I loved. He's an insurance salesman. He goes over to David Koechner's house to try and sell him insurance. And he just keeps asking David Koechner for high C and turkey.

Can I have some high C and turkey? And it just escalates into a police shootout. Matt, can we play a little bit of this sketch that I have been thinking about since 1994 or whatever? I let the kid go!

Now where's my high C in Turkey? We have your high C in Turkey. Now please come out of the house. You have the high C in Turkey? Yes, we do. Now please come out. Okay! That's the sketch.

All I wanted was some high C in Turkey. Beautiful. Brought to you by the American High C in Turkey Council. High C in Turkey. They go together like Dr. Pepper and Trout. Dr. Pepper and Trout. What the fuck? The sketch is amazing.

That sketch is shit. The biggest laugh is there at the end. Like, if you can find this thing, watch it. It's one of those great, like, last sketch in the show, too right early to work SNL sketches. I love it. Here's what's confusing me about this sketch. Was Danny Aiello hosting SNL?

Yeah. Isn't that weird? That's so weird. Yeah. Was he starring in a movie that was coming out? Yeah. Isn't that weird? That's so weird. Yeah. Was he starring in a movie that was coming out? Yeah, great question. That is so strange. Anyway, so every time I see the guy

I want to say, where's my high C in Turkey? You know who I feel bad for? The actor Mike Starr. Okay. If you don't know who Mike Starr is, he looks almost identical to Danny Aiello. Oh, yeah.

You might have seen him in Dumb and Dumber. He was the guy who- He's Aiello-esque. Yeah, he's Aiello-esque. He was the guy who eats his own rat poison. Oh, yeah. He was the giant in Cabin Boy. Okay.

Okay. He's a character actor who works in the same way that I thought Danny Aiello was. He probably gets screamed, I just wanted some high C in Turkey. And he's like, that's not even me. So, okay. So they're at the restaurant. They are in a relationship, but clearly not in love. But he proposes.

They seem like they like each other. Yeah, they do like each other. And so he proposes. She has to make him get down on his knees. He, like. Oh, so funny. It's great. He doesn't have a ring, so he gives her his pinky ring.

Oh, but he likes it. Yeah. My favorite thing was, like, she just has to ask him to do every single thing to propose. And then she's like, I need a ring. And he goes, oh. Yeah. Like, he forgot about the ring part. And she goes, well, you just give me your pinky ring. And he goes, but I like this oh. Yeah. Like he forgot about the ring part and she goes, well, you just give me your picture.

He goes, but I like this ring. Yeah. He got sad that he had to give up the ring. And there's a great part too. So when he finally proposes, the whole restaurant is watching. She says yes, they kiss. The like Italian music starts to play.

The whole restaurant applauds and he's like, Bobo, the check. So he just yells for the check, and then everyone claps more. It's so funny. You'd think he would say something that's like the same energy as going, champagne all around!

Bobo, the check! Separate checks, please. Pretty much, that would be something he would do. Call me an Uber! Also, we talk about the love for Bobo in this restaurant. Oh yeah, Bobo is the like, he's like the wine drink guy. And he's like a classical waiter. He's very cute and funny.

The whole restaurant. I love that restaurant. Me too. So much. Yeah, I definitely want to go on a like moonstruck tour of New York City. Oh, yes, totally. So, okay. So he's going to Sicily to see his dying mother.

His like thing he wants Cher to do. And I think this falls in line with what you're saying, is that she just has to fucking do everything for every man in her life. Yep. I think she kind of likes it, though. Yeah. There's a little bit, I know that a relationship's not going to work when I start acting like that. Uh-huh. If I start, can i start cleaning your apartment or

like tucking in your shirt tuck it like no like i don't know um just like random shit like that sure like pulling the turkey leg out of your beard but like yeah taking care of the like doing their laundry and shit i know that it's over yeah like no um so what he wants her to do is call his brother who he's estranged from and get the brother to come to the he couldn't even do this he's having mommy fucking clean up his mess with this too it's crazy yeah so uh we go back to her house she like lives with her entire family she's got a big she's got a big Italian family including like her grandpa who walks a bunch of dogs he looks like the knight at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Wait.

You know the knight who's guarding the grail? Yes, he does. What if it is him? I don't know. If it's the same actor, that's great. I do love that guy. How did they get his under eye bag so pink? Yeah, he's a real old man looking old man.

He's got a bunch of dogs. Dogs are cute. We like the dogs. Oh, yeah, the dogs are cute. So looking old man. He's got a bunch of dogs. Dogs are cute. We like the dogs. Oh, yeah, the dogs are cute. So she tells her dad she's getting married. He's like, don't do it. You got married once and it didn't work out. And she's like, he got hit by a bus.

This is a great exchange. It's the easiest way for someone to die in a rom-com. It is. For sure. And then her mom is Olympia Dukakis, who is fucking great in this. I think she won an Academy Award for this. I think she was definitely nominated. Yeah, she's terrific in this.

But did Cher win the Oscar for this? No, I don't know. Or was it for The Mask or something? Maybe she won for Mermaids? Nah, Mermaids wasn't nominated. I like the idea that Cher won for The Mask. Yeah. No, Mask.

Somebody stop me from winning Oscars for movies i'm not in somebody she won for moonstruck oh there you go oh okay wow really yes for this yes okay wow is this gonna be you and me reverse this is my godfather too Oh, you're going down, buddy. I didn't hate it. He didn't. Olympia Dukakis is her mom. She's very pragmatic. She's like, she tells her she's getting married. The mom says, do you love him?

And she just says no. And her mom says she kind of, that's preferable. Good. So we kind of know where the mom's coming from. She likes these kind of convenient relationships and she's kind of into one. No, I think that was a dig at her husband. Oh, okay. She's like, if you fall in love with them, they know they can drive you crazy.

Oh, yeah. Like, she's referencing him that they are in love. Right. And that it's more convenient to not be in love. Because she's, they have a, her parents have kind of a relationship problem. Yeah. They got relationship problems. So, well, yeah. So we kind of learn about everybody a relationship problem. Yeah. They got relationship problems. So, well, yeah.

We kind of learn about everybody's relationship as we go. So we're to the point now where she calls the business that Nicolas Cage works at, the brother. And he just, like, hangs up on her. And she's like, oh, he's an animal. He's an animal. And you're like, it is so odd. Oh, fuck, yeah. Oh, it's on.

It's already on. If you're yelling about how somebody's an animal and you're like it is so odd oh it's on it's already about how somebody's an animal do you know that some people say that they had no chemistry that's insane it's insane okay so that it's okay it's it's time to talk about this okay so she goes she goes to the bakery where my heart candy out so she goes to the bakery where nicholas cage works He's in like the bowels of the bakery shuffling coal into an oven. Hey, I think it's time for Hunk Watch. It's Hunk Watch. Yes.

So. The best Hunk Watch ever. Help us out. Nicholas Cage, Hunk? I want to lick that spot where his tooth is missing. Wow. Tell me more. So there's young Nicolas Cage and there's current Nicolas Cage.

Do you feel like he's been hot throughout his entire career? I think he's always been hot, always will be hot, especially in the Long Legs trailer. He's looking, I've seen the top of his head. Can't wait. Wow. No, I'm kidding. But no, I think he's always been hot, but there's this special sloppy hot that he was

during Raising Arizona and this. Valley Girl. Valley Girl. Also, Wild at Heart is maybe the peak hot. I haven't seen Wild at Heart. Oof. Okay. So hot.

It's interesting. It's interesting. When I see him, and I love him, by the way. I have a- Yes. We stan Nick Cage here. Of course, we do. I have a painting of his that I got from his estate sale.

What? So he had to have an estate sale because of his tax problems. Right. He's not dead. They usually have one when you die. If you looked at the shit I've been doing with my finances, I don't have a dinosaur head to sell, but I'm in the same spot. Yeah.

So this was around the time he was buying dinosaur shit. So you could just go to his house and go through his stuff. I, there were several thrones, there were several suits of armor. Okay. I almost bought his copy of the Kama Sutra. But instead I went with this, just like framed print. It's called Sacred Geometric Shapes for Meditation. and it's in my living room, and I look at it

and I'm like, this belonged to Nicolas Cage once. That's so cool. God, man. How much was he selling his personal copy of the Kama Sutra for? $15. No. This is a garage sale. That's insanely low.

Yeah. Wow. No, these are some great bargains that Nicolas Cage has made. Really good bargains. Yeah. Anyway, so yeah, we love him him but i always wonder like because he you know it it's interesting like when we watched the godfather we talked about how pacino got got huge right like he started out a very like small methody actor right and then by the mid 9090s, he was just screaming and waving around like the mask.

He was like the mask without the mask. And I just kind of assumed, oh, maybe that's what happened with Cage is he just kind of nobody told him no. And so he got big. No, he was always like that. Yeah. Like he was even maybe crazier when he was in his 20s. Well, and I love interviews with him. Me too. There was a recent, didn't he do his first late night talk show interview like a couple of years ago during the, there was that movie with him and Pedro Pascal. Oh, yeah. Sure.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Yes. He did an interview. I can't remember if it was with. I saw him do Colbert for Renfield and he's great yes I think that was the interview I can't remember but he had not done interviews in a very long time and he was everything you wanted him to be and more he's an entertainer that's what I think I think there's some people that are just actors or some people that are just comedians

he's a full-fledged entity. I think he's a legend. But I want to fuck that little crack in his teeth. Wow. Oh, yeah. Don't neglect the crack. No, I won't neglect it. There was also some... I'm going to get back on track

with how I want him to anally ruin me. But I want to talk about... Matt, make a note here. We'll circle back to this. Thank you. I would let him do everything. But no, talk about teeth. What wig is he wearing when he does it?

I don't care. I don't care. Okay. All the wigs. Yeah. Wear all your wigs. He could dress up like Adaptation. Put that little curly bullshit on there.

I don't care. Hell yeah. But no. Speaking of teeth, though, I noticed this. I watched this movie four times in the past two days. I love this movie so much. Two times per day. I love it.

Yes. And I watched it on a projector screen at my friend's house because I'm cat sitting. No fun. And it took you forever to respond to that cat video, by the way. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm giving you shit. I'm giving you shit. Emily sent me a video of a neighborhood cat which i really love i always like hours i was seeing uh daryl hall of holland oats yeah anyway

so that's what kept you so i was being present for daryl hall anyway i'm sorry i've never been more insulted in my life emily i was seeingater played live. I can't look at every video you send me. I have to be present. Somebody gave me an extra ticket to see. If it was Nelly Furtado Maneater, I would have understood. So there's certain Maneaters. Anyway.

Matt, take some notes for me. Yeah, you got it. We'll do the anally ruined thing. We're going to go back to anal and we're going to watch all your cat videos. Okay, listen. Teeth. It's a beautiful cat. Teeth.

When I saw it on the projector screen at Caitlin's house, Cher has a tooth that has a gold filling around it. One tooth has like a, it's like a gold, I don't know, filling that wraps around the actual tooth. It's the coolest looking shit I've ever seen. Like, if you just look it up, look up like Cher gold tooth moonstruck and yeah there used to be that used to be a thing with billings yeah but it was like there's a muppet that has that oh dr teeth dr teeth has uh one of those like just does the gold just around it wraps around the gum line yeah and down the tooth

it is so pretty yeah it's like having a French tip manicure on your fucking tooth. On your mouth. Cher looks amazing in this movie. She's so beautiful. But anyway, so back to Nick. I kind of became aware of her when she was like a punchline

because I think I became aware of her when she was like swearing at Letterman. That was like a big controversy. Fabulous. I've watched those interviews. I love them. And now watching, I'm like, oh yeah, this is why she was a star. Like she's.

She's so good. She's amazing. But anyway, so Nick Tooth. Yes. I just want to talk about, he doesn't have a hand, but he does have a hand. Yeah. So part of the reason that he and Danny Aiello don't talk anymore is that Danny Aiello came into his bakery where he works, asked him for bread. And while Nicolas Cage was slicing the bread, he sliced off part of his hand and he blames Danny Aiello because he's the one who ordered the bread.

And I guess he says that his fiance left him because he chopped off the hand. Yes, it's fucking hilarious. And you could tell he believed, like Cage is selling it. He is not playing this like it's a comedy. He is playing this like it was like. And that's what makes it so good. It is. I really love the line too that he says when he looks at his wooden hand, he goes, this is fake wood.

I know. I was so confused by that. And he goes, this is fake wood. I know. I was so confused by that. I think he means to say a fake hand, but it's so much funnier that he's like, no, even the wood is fake. Is that what you think he meant? I have no idea. Either way, I like that interpretation.

There's some great behind the scenes stuff for this that I watched afterwards because I also love this movie and wanted to know more about it. And there's an interview with Cage from the set where he was like, oh, the director is so amazing. that I watched afterwards, because I also love this movie and wanted to know more about it. And there's an interview with Cage from the set where he was like, oh, the director's so amazing, he'll just let you change any line you want to. So some of the weird shit in this is probably just Cage riffing. You sounded just like him.

Oh, thanks. That was really good. Thanks, oh my God. Can I tell you guys, do you have a sting for a fingering story? I will right now. All right. Can I suggest stick them in?

Oh, that's it. All right. All right. Stick them in. I don't like that. All right. Fingering story. Thank you.

I just wanted to scan, you know, I just wanted to scan. I know, I know, stick them in does sound good, but like that could mean like a lot of different, I want people to know that it's fingers in there. This is your segment i'm just trying to help yeah i know i'm sorry i didn't mean to get so upset i didn't mean to lash out we didn't know you were upset until just right now okay so it appears as though his hand that got caught in the bread slicer it looks like he probably lost his fingers because you could see the whole palm of his hand sticking out. So it's his fingies. But I want to tell you a story about a boy I dated who didn't have any fingers except

for a thumb on one of his hands. Oh, my gosh. And I didn't realize it until three weeks into dating him. Interesting. What? How? He would walk on one side of me, like me Anytime we hung out and kind of hide it He would put it in his pocket or whatever

I just never noticed it And the crazy thing is He had fingered me before I figured it out Wow Wait, with the hand that had No, not with that hand With the hand that had the fingers With the hand that had the fingers

Okay, okay Because you would have definitely noticed The hand that rocks the cradle I'm going to finger you with one hand, and then I'm going to look for something in my backpack. All he could have done was hitch. Where's my protractor? No, the only thing he could have done was hitchhike in my pussy or something.

Or come on a ride. I mean. It was this. It was just a thumb and then the knuckles, and he just was born without fingers. I mean, that is also a perfect fisting hand. I know, but I wasn't into that at the time, nor am I now. Okay.

But maybe that's why you guys weren't a match. Maybe he found the fisting. No, that was the least of our problems. No, no. Okay, so Cher goes over. She hears this whole story about that getting the hand chopped off and she goes back to his apartment with him to like she because she wants to make it work he's obviously such a hothead oh but she's already in you know it so they go to the apartment you

know what's gonna happen she makes him a steak she makes a steak with spaghetti and they pour uh glasses of uh she'd give me some whiskey and I was like oh my god that's so hot once again yeah anytime i like go on a first date with somebody if they go you want to come in for a drink i'm like i guess we're fucking like that's all if i get some whiskey then it's like ah well um and then yes and then they fuck they start to kiss he like scoops her up and she swoons and he takes her to the bed. It's so much hotter than that. That entire dialogue about the wolf and... Right.

She says, you have a wolf in you. And I think the original title of this movie was The Wolf and the Widow. And they made them change it because it sounded like a horror movie. Yeah, it sounds like a werewolf movie. Yeah, as opposed to this one which sounded like a witch movie. We want them to think it's a horror movie, but a different kind of horror movie. Yeah, as opposed to this one, which sounded like a witch movie. But no. We want them to think it's a horror movie, but a different kind of horror movie. I just think their acting in that whole scene in his apartment is they're so fast and on

top of each other and so engaged into each other. And it means I can finally use this sting. Fucking in the mood. There it is. Also, what's it like? I want to know what it's like to be a woman that a man can pick up. I've never been that girl. It's going to hurt you.

Your back is going to get fucked if you pick me up. And she does like a full swoon. Oh my God. Like bends toward the ground. And she says, it's something like, she doesn't say fuck in it, but she's like, in my mind, it's fuck. She's like, fuck me so there will be nothing left. Just the skin on my bones. It's so hot.

But my favorite thing is when he scoops her up and takes her to the bed. And she goes, where are you taking me? And he goes, to the bed. It's a small apartment, too, so he just takes her across the room. Bitch, where do you think he was taking you Out the window Not a lot Not a lot of places in this apartment

I want to show you my closet space We're gonna fuck in the foyer I know a place that has good meatball heroes It's a couple of blocks away We can take the bus if you want I'll carry you onto the bus I want my landlord to meet you. He's in the unit

next door. Back time for baby. Scrub the baby. Dirty baby. Hotter or less hot than what was actually in the movie? Hard to say. Equal. So they get done having sex,

and they look up at the moon, it hits their eye. It's so good. And so you get a little montage of all of the characters looking up at the moon, and you kind of see what they're going through. Everybody's got their own little romance plot. And at this point I'm like, please somebody turn into a werewolf.

I just wanted it so bad. I was like, wouldn't it be great if just like the uncle turned into a werewolf. Oh my god. Like bad. I was like, wouldn't it be great if just the uncle turned into a werewolf? Like the guy who we've seen for one scene. So they're looking at the moon. They love it. They love it. They love the moon.

These Italians and their moon. Oh boy. Hey, have you ever heard of the sun? Maybe look into the sun sometime. Yeah, sun is even prettier than moon. Sun beats moon. What do you think? Free with ads at MaximumFun.org.

What's better, sun or moon? New free with ads poll, sun or moon, what's favorite? Is Nicolas Cage hot? Listen, if you don't put this out, I'm going to do it on my Twitter. And our tens of fans will be like, ooh. Ooh, finally a choice. I like Moon. Oh.

We love you, fans. That's not. Honestly, I pick Moon every time. Yeah. All right. Yeah, Moon better than Sun. Moon better than Sun. I was.

This is maybe my best thing someone's ever said to me in an Uber, just the driver. The driver is a ponytail wolf shirt guy. Oh, yeah. Gray ponytail wolf shirt guy. And he's like, full moon tonight. And I'm like, oh, yeah, it's really up there. And he's like, yep, I'm a big moon guy. It's the fucking best.

Well, we know where he would vote in the poll. That's right. He got his heart broken. That's right. So. He got his heart broken. He's like, I'm not a moon guy. So Nicholas, so she immediately regrets it. She regrets it the day after and is like, I can't do this. I'm marrying your brother.

And he's like, I'll leave you alone if you go to the opera with me. He loves opera. Always listening to opera. So she agrees. He had a sweet record player in his apartment. Yeah, I know. I was like, oh my God, how is his apartment like every dude's apartment from 2015? Yeah, it is.

Big vinyl collection. Yeah, and then like one small table and a chair. Yeah, bottle of whiskey. Yeah. So she agrees. She goes to get a makeover. Oh my God. They take the gray out of her hair.

And this is going to sound like a weird like I'm a positive dude thing. I did love the gray in her hair. I think she looks amazing. Yeah. But she did look great after she got the makeover.

Well I mean it was just like also the styling of it. The way that they had it when it was gray was like it was just kind of in a little old lady chignon.

She wasn't wearing it down. Yeah. Which is like a trick that everyone uses in the makeover thing. It's like you have glasses on, you wear your hair in a ponytail. You know, it's like just take the hair down. That's it. Just take the hair down. That's all you got to do.

But I want to talk about my favorite scene in the movie is after she goes to get her makeup and her hair done and she goes shopping. She goes on and her hair done and she goes shopping she goes to her parents house where she lives and nobody's home yeah so she decides to light the fire turn out the lights and hang out on the floor with her shoes like she has these like gorgeous shoes and she's like unboxing all of her shopping things and I'm like she just had a fabulous date with her shopping. Yeah.

She's learning to love herself. No I want that date. That's the only date I want. I want to go shopping with tons of money and then you want to lay shoes down on the floor. I want to like lay on the floor drink tons of wine and try things on and look at the mirror. That does sound fun. It does sound really nice. It was my favorite scene. I went to the on the floor, drink tons of wine, and try things on and look at the mirror. That does sound fun.

That does sound really nice. It was my favorite scene. I went to the J.Crew outlet the other day, so I know what you're talking about. Oh, yeah. Get those khakis out. Drink a glass of wine. Yeah. Come all over those.

Iron those pleats. Come on those pleats, Jordan. That's right. What's that, Slacks? You want me to stick it in the pleats? Stick it in. Yeah, stick it in the pleats. So she goes to the opera Scandal.

Her dad is there with his mistress. Dad's got a side piece. This side piece, amazing. Big Blanche energy. Am I wrong about that? Did you scroll down and see the photos? Yeah, I know.

You added a lot of photos of the mistress. I don't know the actor's name, she's great in this. Anita Gillette. Okay. She was also Liz Lemon's mom in 30 Rock. Oh yeah! She's so funny in that. She's so funny, but I think she is a fucking sexpot

in this movie. She is, she's hot. I love how, like she wears pink and only pink and pink lipstick and I just, I like her a lot. She applies blush to her cleavage. She sure does. And I love that, but also the jewels. The bracelet

that Cher's dad gives his, you know, side piece is like a gold bracelet full of stars and birds. And I'm like, that would mean so much to me if a man gave me a bracelet like that. I love that bracelet. It's so pretty. Is it that hard?

Is it that hard, you guys, to get a woman a big, stupid bracelet with stars and birds on it? No, no. Thank you. I just don't think I'm asking for very much. It had moons birds on it. No, no. Thank you. I just don't think I'm asking for very much. It had moons too on it though. I hate it now.

I'm kidding now. But I also heard... I thought you liked the moon. I don't know. Be consistent. I'm just asking for some consistency. Oh my god, this always happens. What? Wait. So, this always happens. This has happened before where you say you like the moon and then a guy says the bracelet had moons

and you don't like the bracelet anymore? Yeah. You already put moon in pole. Listen, you said you love me for who I was? Anyway, so. We're all learning a lot this episode. But her dress at the opera, I'm obsessed. Cher's dress.

Or the side pieces dress. Cher's dress sucks. Oh, really? That ugly plum colored tube dress. You could put her in anything and she'd look amazing. But the thing is, if you know Cher, you've seen her in some amazing dresses. That dress ain't it. Okay.

But the sluts dress i love the slutty dress titties out like at the opera two huge diamond giant like stars that resemble the like chandeliers at the opera house okay is so obsessed with and like a huge brooch i just love this bitch she's so hot she's, and she's hilarious in this. So we see that both she and her dad are stepping out on their respective partners like father, like daughter. Yep.

And then we go to Cher's mom, Olympia Dukakis. She is having dinner alone at the Italian restaurant, and she runs into Frazier's dad. Yay! I was prepared for this to be hunk watch. He's kind of hunky. What do you think about Frazier's dad? No.

Okay. Kind of into Eddie. Oh, you're an Eddie man, huh? You like the dog in Frazier. The dog in Frazier? You know who I like? It's a funny dog. The chair. Yeah, that's a good chair.

Oh, yeah. He's got a good chair. Pull off a little of that duct tape. What oh yeah there's a lot of little of that duct tape what's in there probably a nasty hole yeah comfy chair probably a chair a guardetto oh my is it my birthday um i he okay so so frazier's dad kind of has he's got two little scenes in this he is a like roguish college professor who's there like with one of his students. He's got a great jacket. I wrote down great jacket.

It's kind of like a tweed professory jacket. That's like my dream going out look is like knit tie, that kind of tweedy. I want to look like one of the Ghostbusters when they're not in their uniforms. Okay, I like that. So that's not quite dark academia. Have you heard about all these different aesthetics? I have heard of tweety. I want to look like one of the Ghostbusters when they're not in their uniforms. Okay, I like that. So that's not quite dark academia. Have you heard about all these different aesthetics?

I have heard of dark academia. I have not. I think you're 90s daddy academia. Thank you. Thank you. I'll take it.

Yes. So this movie is like from the 80s. He looks exactly the same here as he does in frazier he's like for sure he's been that age for his whole life well in say anything he looks a little bit younger i think but this one it's like he's same dad from frazier i i love i just love him i think he's so

good in this and obviously like the characters kind of got an amazing and he's this is his american accent he's british what yeah wow He's like the best British American accent. He's like the OG Hugh Laurie. Yeah. I don't know. Oh, wow. Did we say that Hugh Laurie's is good? Hugh Laurie is amazing.

He's got a good accent. Dr. House? No, he's one of these guys. He's the guy. He does the accent. I'm just a boy from Brooklyn. Yeah. I feel like our boy, Frazier's dad. Yeah, no, he does the accent. I'm just a boy from Brooklyn. Yeah.

I feel like our boy, Frazier's dad, he's created an accent where it's like everyone you know and no one you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's so brilliant. It's like Maria Bamford level work where you're like, I know that person, but I can't tell you who it is.

Right. I love him in this. So he gets like a drink thrown in his face by one of his students. He's there dating and he immediately starts coming on to Cher's mom. And she's like not having it, but she hangs out with him. She lets him walk her home and she says, you're just a little boy. You're just a little boy.

And he like wants to sleep with her. It's pretty like, I don't know. It's great. It's a great little scene. It's so great. Okay. So like everybody's having their little romantic thing. The moon's hitting their eye.

We're back. It's Free With Ads. We're talking about Moonstruck. So Cher and Nicolas Cage, they go back to his apartment after the opera. Can't help themselves. She tries to get rid of him. He can't do it.

He's like, we're here to ruin ourselves and love the wrong people and die. The fucking lines in this movie. It's so hot. The lines. So the,

this movie is so full of good lines. The writer's other biggest movie is Congo. Free with ads. Is it? Well, it was. Wow, that's incredible. No, that's the only other movie?

He's like a playwright. Yeah, that makes sense. Oh, that makes sense. I love the idea that the guy who wrote Skin and Bones when talking about people fucking also wrote Bad Gorilla. Bad Gorilla, go away. Y'all, Congo's no longer free with ads.

We missed our opportunity. There's always next year. So, yeah. So, they're in it. He goes over to, like, her parents' house to, like, admit that they've been sleeping together. Mom makes everybody oatmeal. Danny Aiello comes- Which, really?

Can I just say that the only time I saw her mom cooking, she sucked at it. You didn't want to eat that little egg with peppers? She didn't wait for it to be flipped. She broke the yolk, number one. Wow. Aren't you supposed to have that big egg in a basket? You can't break the yolk. Yeah, no, that ruins it.

And she didn't wait to flip it at all. It was a sloppy fucking mess. She is the worst Nona. Yes. Of all the Nonas, I was like, she really can't do it. I just remember Cher picking it up and sniffing it and then putting it down and not eating it. Oh, interesting. I think her mom's a bad cook.

I like the look of the egg, but we can all think what we want to about the egg. Okay. You sound offended. I am very offended that you didn't like the egg. Are we in a fight? Like all the eggs I like. Okay. New poll.

Is the egg good? Is egg good? Yes, no. Sun or moon? the egg good? Is egg good? Yes, no. Sun or moon? Sun or moon. Is egg good? If you didn't listen to the episode and just saw those polls,

you're like, oh, they're having a meltdown. Oh, no. Matt had a stroke. You would be right. Listeners, decide if we're having a meltdown or not.

We don't know. We don't know. What sort of episode do you think we're having? It's free. So everybody's having oatmeal. All the characters crowd in. Danny Aiello comes back from Sicily.

His mom made an amazing recovery and says she cooked a meal that could choke a pig. I missed that. Oh, my God. So everybody just kind of confronts each other. Danny Aiello says he doesn't want to marry Cher because his mom is alive. So it's like a very convenient like. Yeah, he only needed one mommy in his life. So when one mommy dies, one mommy.

Two mommies, too many mommies. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And then Nicolas Cage proposes and they drink champagne with sugar cubes in it. I know, but my favorite part, I know what the fuck with those sugar cubes. Her dad does it when she tells him that she's engaged at the beginning of the movie. Yeah, it's a

wedding thing, I guess. I guess so. But the grandpa who has all the dogs, I remember when the engagement is broken off with Tony? What's his name? It's Johnny and Ronnie? Anyway. It's Johnny and Ronnie.

That's right. Are you fucking kidding me? Okay. Well, yeah. A lot of this movie for me was, are you fucking kidding me? Yes, it's funny. No, it was funny. But we're going to get caught up on Johnny and Ronnie.

Okay. We're not going to get caught up on it all wrapping up nicely. It's not House of the Dragon with like Aegon and Maegon and everything. Yeah, that's true. There are a lot of- Anyway. A lot of gons in Westeros. I cannot follow that show.

Clearly, you are very upset. Okay. I mean, I'm just a little- What do you think about the egg, Matt? Moon! Moon better than sun! Moon better than sun. I like when Johnny was kind of feeling sad over in the corner.

Then old grandpa comes over and gives him a glass of champagne. He goes, come over here. You're family now. Yeah. He's like, you should celebrate your family. And then he feels included again. That's cute. That shit makes me cry so much.

And it's funny that he just goes over and sits in a chair at the corner after he doesn't go home. No, but it's like it was just really sweet watching him be included. I also like that the no-no cried. And he said, he cried and just goes, I'm confused. That was such a great line. That was for me. Well, hey, so it sounds like we might have some spicy takes about the rating of this movie. But let's talk about the best lines in the movie.

Emily, you want to go first? Okay, so this is during the scene where Johnny is going to propose to Cher's character in the restaurant. And she's like, you're not doing it right. This is the proper way to propose to a woman. On the floor? Yeah, on the floor. This is a good suit. I know that.

I helped you pick it out. It came with two pairs of pants. You know, Charlie, it's for luck. I mean, a man who proposes marriage to a woman, you should kneel down. She's got him on his knees. He's ruining his suit. Is that man praying?

Because he does not kneel on one knee. He just gets down on both knees. He has no fucking idea how to do it. My favorite thing is it's like this movie, all of the men are not romantic. Like it's just every man is clueless as to how to be romantic except for Nicolas Cage's character. Right, who's a psycho. For the most part. Who's a psycho. Yes, that's how that works.

Yeah. Usually. But no, all these men are... Like he goes... He like forgets every single aspect to asking a woman to marry them. Right. He doesn't kneel down.

He doesn't have a ring. He doesn't have anything. He's such a great character. And all the dudes are the same in the restaurant. He's like kneeling down and he goes, what's he doing? He's going to ruin his good suit. Yeah. Like everybody there says it.

And then. And another great little detail, she helped him. She had to help him pick out the suit. That's a very mommy move. I know, exactly. And the fact that it came with two pairs of pants. Two pairs of pants. Yeah. So funny.

And then we got Frasier's dad who goes, is that man praying or something? Right, no idea. It's just these men don't know about anything. So for my line, this movie has a classic Cage freakout, and I think it's one of his best. And that's saying something. If you do a no, not the bees. No, no, this is actually from the movie. I know.

I should have, a funnier thing would have been to cue up no, not the bees. But this is actually from this movie. It's his like big Cage moment. I just want to play it. I think it's one of his best. Okay, all right, all right. I ain't no freaking monument to justice.

I lost my hand. I think it's one of his best. All right, all right. I ain't no freaking monument to justice. I lost my hand. I lost my bride. Johnny has his hand. Johnny has his bride. You want me to take my heartbreak, put it away, and forget? Where's my high-seeing turkey? It's so good. Okay.

It's so good. Okay. We are going to definitively say how good this movie is right when we come back soon. We're back. It's Free With Ads. We are going to rank Moonstruck on a scale of 1 to 10 super loud commercials. Now, Matt, do you want to make your case here and then maybe emily will go and then i can like kind of because i'll break the tie i i think i know where everyone stands on this movie here's the thing i didn't know anything about this movie going into it i thought it was a witch movie um i i then i think i brought that up to you guys and you said it's not a witch movie um it's a romantic comedy i said okay fine i watched

it and i was like it's funny but there's something off about how every character goes big like every character is a big character um i'm not saying that you know share's performance was too italian because that sounds weird but i felt like I was watching caricatures. And then at some point I realized, oh, this is for sure like theater. This was a play is what I started thinking. And so that changed my tune on this. I think it's, I give it like a three personally. Okay, a personal three.

I was able to get through it. I thought some parts were funny, but you guys, Nicolas Cage is not that hot. I'm just a straight man in a straight man's world. We let you have the three, but I think that you've had enough. Another way of putting that is, how dare you? How dare you? Cage walked so Redmayne could run.

No kidding. And then Cage started running faster. Jesus. He got on a little motorcycle. Emily, what do you think? Tippy 10. It's a 10. It's on a little motorcycle. Emily, what do you think? Tippy ten! It's a ten! It's a tippy ten!

Yeah, you said this is like maybe rocketed up to your faves of all time. Yeah, I think it's rocketed up to like it's Empire Records and Moonstruck now battling it out for number two. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah, you loved it. I loved it. Yeah, I loved it. I loved it. Yeah, I will, I think I am closer to Emily

than I am to Matt. I also love this. I have actually a really fun memory of watching this movie for the first time. I watched it for the first time in my friend Anna's backyard like during the pandemic

when like those were the activities. Was like you could go to your friend's yard and you could hang out in chairs that were far away from each other so we like she has like a projector and we like watch moonstruck in her backyard it's really really wonderful memory it was a really nice nice moment for me did you guys you know hook up you can't do that when the chairs are far apart matt anna's lovely partner brian was there and we all had a nice time together

i thought it was going to be like It was not a Challengers. Yeah they got a No one did a Challengers. I still haven't seen that. Yeah he got one of those little hands put it on a measuring tape thing and then just shimmied it on over there. Just looked at her and texted

What's better moon or sun? Moon or sun. Which do you like? Is that our first merch? Moon or sun. What better, moon or sun? Moon or sun. Which do you like? Is that our first merch? Moon or sun. What's better, moon or sun? What do you people want that on? A tote bag? A t-shirt?

A mug? Moon or sun mug? Are you a moonhead or are you a total sun junkie? Let us know. Free with ads at MaximumFun.org. And I really want the sun to be Jordan's Free with ads at MaximumFun.org. And I really want the sun to be Jordan's face and the moon to be Matt. Yeah.

And then I'll be like this person going, what? Which one? Like right next to it. It'll be my little redhead cartoon that's in the logo. Or is this distracted boyfriend where he's turning away from the sun and looking at the moon? I know if we're tired of that meme. That meme is good. It's a great meme.

I really liked this movie. I think it's funny. I like this style of writing that has chunky, good, quotable lines. This is an 8 for me. I really, really liked it. Did you agree with the premise of or not the premise but kind of like where the movie kind of eventually falls on the idea of why

do men cheat and it being because they're afraid of death oh i agree with that i think that's why anyone cheats call me a simpleton but i do feel like uh men cheat because they think they won't get caught and because men are just simple horny human beings who just they but the thing is women are too it's just we're better at not getting caught y'all can't even remember like birthdays yeah that's true like how are you gonna be able to have like two people's numbers you're shocked like jockeying between i guess my feeling was that i'm afraid one's ronnie and one's Johnny. Exactly. Who's going to know which one is my side piece? Is it Ronnie or Johnny?

One's Amon Targaryen, one's Daemon Targaryen. There's Amon, Daemon, Aegon. But yeah, no, I'm afraid of death and I'm not cheating. Yeah, but I think that's a symptom or whatever of it doesn't mean that everyone who's afraid of death is gonna cheat it just means that that is a common you know kind of connection but i guess i do agree with that all right to a degree it's just like am i ever gonna feel alive again yeah yeah i think it's what i liked about this movie though is the idea of like love sustaining long periods of time like that you know they forgave like her parents really forgave each

other like yeah that was that was a touching moment she was like you know i think she went out and like experienced what it was like to kind of be attractive to someone else. I was like, I get it. I get why you would like that. Now stop fucking doing it. Sure. We're good. And then the other older couple, her brother, that couple, I loved that couple. There's a couple little like side plot love stories that we didn't get into.

They're real sweet. Yeah. One older couple, the guy sees that moon. He goes crazy for his wife and he's like, let's eat pasta and roll around. Great pickup line. They're so cute. Too Italian. Let's eat pasta and roll around.

Dial it back. I felt like some of it was like, I am not Italian. But if I was, I feel like I'd be like, are they doing racism? So the writer of this is John Patrick Shanley, which is the most Irish name. That's the most Irish name of all time. So right, is this Italian slander from an Irish guy who hates them?

Wouldn't be the first time. Wait, the writer of this is John Patrick Shanley? Yeah. Yeah. No. Writer of Congo. He also wrote Doubt. He also wrote Doubt. Oh, Doubt's great. Free with ads. Free with ads. Why do I know this? But no,

that's crazy that he wrote this. That makes total fucking sense. Except for all the anti-Italian racism. Yes, that makes, it's very theatrical. Yeah, I definitely Oh, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. He wrote some amazing plays. He wrote Deep Blue Sea? Danny and the Deep Blue Sea. It's a play. I thought it was the one about the shark.

That'd be great going to see the play. He's like, any time now, that shark's going to chop Samuel L. Jackson. Joe vs. Volcano. She also wrote Joe vs. Volcano. Oh, wow. Hey, that is Moonstruck. It's a movie. You can watch it if you like.

Let's do a little plug-in. Emily, you got anything? So the second leg of the Mythical Tour is happening in November in Dallas, Texas and Houston, Texas. The 15th of November and the 16th of November. And it looks like there are still some tickets left. So go for it. Get out there. See the Mythical Tour.

I stopped in for one of the shows. It was a blast. It was so fun. We went and drank Malort. Oh, yeah. It was in Chicago, so me, Emily, and Chef Josh, we all got the Chicago Handshake, which is a Malort and an old-style beer. And Malort sucks, but it was a lot of fun drinking it.

It was fun and I feel really bad because like right after the show in Chicago it was pouring rain and we had to like run to get there or whatever because it was just like complicated and I feel really bad a fan was trying to hold an umbrella over my head but we were focused on running away. Sorry about that.
