Here's a real question for you. How did this get made? Hello people of Hello people of Los Angeles, it's me Jason LA Statham In the only place I like to perform now, here's your host of How Did This Get Made, Paul Sheer. Hey everybody, welcome to How Did This Get Made. Nervous that that bit was gone over, glad it did. Glad you guys listened to the podcast that came out a mere 12 hours ago. Um, so excited to be here doing our very first lifetime movie. There was some confusion. We thought Holiday in Handcuffs was a lifetime movie.

It was not. ABC Family, as we learned, very different. Now we will see if this fulfills June's wants and desires. We'll get into it in a couple minutes. But first, please welcome my co-host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas. What's up jerks? What's up, guys? What's up, guys?

What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up, guys? What's up jerks? How we doing everybody?

Guys, I mean, isn't it a little early to do a movie about true love? It's not Valentine's Day yet. Is this our Valentine's Day episode? It could be. It is now! Because I'll be honest I cried twice during this movie. Jason. Kaboom!

Tears rolling down my face in my kitchen screaming to myself what's wrong with me? What is wrong with me? To an empty house. Jason, I'm not gonna lie, I was going to save this fact till later. I too cried during this movie. Much to my wife's chagrin. I was like, into this movie. I have an update very into this movie. I have an update very into this movie.

I have a thought. I get a Lifetime movie, I get it. Lions are in this? I can't believe Meghan Markle's already in this movie. She should have. She comes across very cool, very hip. Oh, guys. I think they could have gotten Prince Charles.

Wow. Ha ha ha. There's a lot in this. I cannot wait to dig right in. Because there I made so many notes. Ha ha ha. Like I wrote numerous times, need to talk about Africa.

Ha ha ha. You are like Toto. So. Our guest tonight, Weezer. You are like Toto. So, uh... Our guest tonight, Weezer! Also to talk about this movie tonight, someone who I don't think cried during it, surprisingly. If you were to make a graph of who you thought would cry, she did not. Please welcome my other co-host, June Diane Raphael! CHEERING Welcome, welcome, June.

I can't believe how mad you are right now. I am, I feel anger off the bat, which isn't a great look. You did not cry. I didn't cry for a second. And I don't know if it's there's so much to cry about these days that I'm just tapped that I or I can't access my emotions anymore, I did not like this motion picture. June, would it surprise you to know

it is not a motion picture? A telefilm maybe. There are commercial breaks in this movie. This movie clocks in at a hot 83 minutes. Okay. There are multiple. No, here's the thing. I think I was in real life so deeply,

so deeply affected by the passing of Princess Di. That. Okay. I did not think you were gonna go there. I really, well I was. I am so excited that this is where we're starting from. I was deeply affected, and I still am. Okay. Okay.

And yet this movie felt like it was making a mockery. I don't disagree. A mockery of my feelings. I don't disagree. Thank you. Princess Di was complicated, but she was into stealing. And now... And now she's a lion.

A lion that basically gives Meghan Markle a thumbs up and is like, you got this, girl. Thanks, I can go away now. thumbs up and is like, you got this girl. Thanks, I can go away now. Even though my youngest son is, I think, king of Africa. Yes, the Lion King similarities start at moment one and don't let up until about moment 70. Well, to dissect this film,

I couldn't think of anyone better than, uh, she's a How Did This Get Made All Star. We love having her on the show. You know her, you love her. She is currently on the brand new Showtime show, Black Monday. She also co-hosts the Bitch Sesh podcast. Please welcome Casey Wilson. Hi.

Thank you for having me. So excited to have you. Paul, if I could just show you what's written on my notes right now. Oh, it is, I cried reminder on a plane. I cried five times. Five times. And then I write, I'm crying the lion. Five times. You're crying at the lion? Oh wow. Well that is a, that is a... I want to know... Did the lion happen? First of all... That's a good question, like is this an unauthorized... Yes!

No, it does not say that. I know it's unauthorized, but I did feel like there were certain details that must have been in articles or things that... Everything was in an article. Everything was in an article, like the avocado toast, like that was in an article. I think it was in a listicle. I think this movie is built on listicles. The source material is Meghan Markle's blog. It is credited to a Buzzfeed article, 36 things you didn't know about the Royals.

Most of it is that. I will say that there were moments especially when Meghan Markle was talking about what it was like to be a struggling actress and that felt like oh you just lifted this from Like a really shitty puff piece and like people magazine It was like this is a great monologue for you actress who's playing Meghan Markle and it was like it was just like What could she do with it? It was just like a an anecdote poorly told But did they twice did he has he twice? experienced a lion

Within within ten feet of him. I wrote if so he should talk about it all the time I wrote that my first note is exceptionally lucky's exceptionally lucky. And foolish. Shouldn't he be being guarded better? Now listen, I am somebody who has been approached by... A lion? No. But winged creatures who have represented... Did you say winged?

Okay. Not like gargoyles, June. You're talking about birds. ...who have represented loved ones who have passed. And I consider... Approached meaning what? Flown by? I don't want to get into it. No, I don't mean flown by. I mean, yes. I mean, have flown in front of my face, like, for a while.

Okay. At specific moments. Oh, you are this person. You are the... I thought you were referencing someone else. I am this person. So I do believe, in my life. I thought you were referencing someone else. I see. No, I am this person. So I do believe, like, when people pass, they can take, um... Yes!

Yes. They can take a picture. That's why I cried when the lion came. That was Diana. I know that. Well, you love her so much. You love her so much you don't want to see her. I do love her so much.

I did not like the way this movie portrayed her. And I did not like that the Queen came out smelling like a rose Oh, yes The Queen with nuts The crazy it almost seems like the Queen paid for the movie that she was so cool It was like propaganda. Yeah, like she was so cool it was like propaganda yeah like she like the Queen I feel like was like yeah like I wouldn't be surprised if somehow she'd written the movie and had chosen exactly who to play her or somehow there's scenes in which she does play herself which is so crazy because the

Queen when I say I was scarred by Princess Diana's death and still affected by it, a lot of that is because of the Queen's behavior. Okay, get into it, June. Break it down. It is. It's because of... It's because of her behavior. It is. It's because of her lack of empathy and because of her having marched Henry

and William behind that casket. Why was it bad to march William behind that casket. Why was it bad to march them behind the casket? Didn't Bobby Kennedy do that? They were children. Oh, not Bobby. JFK Junior did that? Yes, yes.

I thought it isn't just kind of what's done. I don't think he marched behind the casket. He saluted. He gave a little, yeah, but I don't remember him marching. You didn't cry when little Henry put a card on his, the flowers on, a top, a top her casket that said mummy. I didn't cry at that. I was like, I genuinely was like, did this happen?

I wrote down my first note is, is this true? Yes. We have to take license. What license though? We're so, it just happened. This movie also posits that the Queen watches Netflix. Yes! That's what's... There's so many crazy current things at play in this movie, because again, this just happened.

I literally thought I was like, oh well this happened in 2017. No, it was 2018! It was a mere couple of months ago. And yet they left out the thing we all fucking want to see, which is the wedding. Yeah. They spent all that money on the Africa trip. They went back to Africa too many times, ultimately. How did this get made?

How did this get made? Can we touch on Meghan Markle's wedding dress, or is that for a different? Well, no. I mean, look, if you want to we're here We're here. Do you think that we don't we just didn't this movie was made prior to knowing these things Is that what I think it was made right before the wedding, but that's disappointing. They should have waited I'm gonna say something. I thought she looked beautiful

Absolutely stunning. I thought she lost too much weight and the dress was ill-fitting. Oh, somebody just said, what? I thought the hair was too messy. Okay, now we can move on. Nobody's with us. Nobody's with us. I'm just seeing this for the first time. What? I'm just seeing these pictures. She does look pretty good. She looks good. I think in the halter dress though, this is something that brides do. They lose too much weight right before. It just all looks a little bit... Well, when I worked with Megan on the league, no big deal. You know, she was someone who could carry off anything, whether it was a joke or a dress. You know, so when I look at her here, I'm like, yeah.

What's going on? Just saying, like, my former co-star, no big deal. Now, I will say, Paul has mentioned that she worked on the league. And I was invited to her first wedding. I'm just going to say, I was a Queen Latifah clip playing in the background. Sorry, did not realize. I love the Queen so much. I want to get to this story, but there is definitely a Cigna ad happening in the background of this episode. All right.

I love Megan for reasons that are a bit different than everyone does, and I love those reasons as well. But as an actress in B-level sitcoms, I mean a 36-year-old actress, I'm like, yes! Like that could be me? And it wasn't, it wasn't ultimately, you know? It wasn't, it was not. By the way, it could still be. I mean, right, I mean look, you have to make two very big decisions quickly, but I think it can happen.

Well, keep in mind, she was divorced. Yes. That was the wedding I was invited to. Oh yes, sorry. That's where you were. Were you at that wedding? I did not go. Because I felt like the wedding invitation wasn't right for me.

You know what? I don't think you should have, and I'm not saying this, I don't think you should have been invited. Yeah. I agree. I think that's very strange actually. And I make that decision for people. If they invite me and I shouldn't,

I don't go not to be rude for them. Yeah, exactly. It's good to say, you shouldn't have invited me. Yeah, you made a grave error. But that's respectful, I think. I do think that's respectful. Well, now, did she get oil of Olay or whatever that I think I do think that's respectful well now Did she get Oil of Olay or whatever that hand soap company was because they said that she's the girl who stopped

Oh, yes, she got them to the advertising to change their that was a very quick Right Is what they it intimates. Is that true, audience? Is that true? Ivory soap. Ivory soap. Or oil of Olay.

That's not nothing. Yeah, that's a big deal. Very big. Now, was Megan playing this woman? This movie is totally true, then. Looks like it. She did the actress playing Megan. I thought she was phenomenal.

I thought both of them were great. Amazing. Because they were given absolute trash to say. They have lines in this movie that are straight up garbage. And they deliver them beautifully. Well, that's what I'm saying. To keep this nightmare afloat. She had to say, how about more like glass ceilings, not glass slippers. Yes. Well, you know what I thought her scenes most, her most powerful scenes were when she was on the set of

suits not liking the lines because it was meta. It was like, oh, you're on, you the actress are deep. It's all happening here I feel like yes your suits is this does anybody know what a slant is suits This movie like you take offense with the Queen. I take offense to the writing of suits an a b-side What is it in the USA A USA stalwart. Yeah. Characters welcome. Die it out. Die it out not so much. You don't have to take shots.

They're very welcome now. It's not like she was on Rizzoli and Isles. What did she say? She goes, I don't want to say, oh yeah. She goes, I'll see him in court. And they're like, we got to rewrite for you. Tell him I'm taking want to say, oh yeah, she goes, I'll see him in court. And they're like, we gotta rewrite for you. Tell him I'm taking him to court. And that's when she quit.

And that's when she quit. She fucking knows what's up. There are so many, I genuinely believed both of them were fantastic, and I thought they had chemistry. Which, again. I was titillated many times. What?

Titillated when? A lot. When they were making out in the tent in Africa. Oh, yeah. That, yeah. And she dropped the. When she took off her. Her robe.

Yes. Oh, yeah. When she did that move. And then she repeated the move from suits, where she was like, can you come in? Yeah. Which meant that she knew how to do it, but she wasn't going to do it for suits.

Yes! Yeah! Yeah! Which fucks over suits, a stalwart of USA. Characters welcome. Dialogue not simple. We're all clear that Henry is not the biological son of... Okay, just as long as everybody's on the same page about that.

Wait, is that for real? Paul, fire up that Google machine. Pronto. By the way, you just created a t-shirt. All right. Wait, is that... Is this a real... Is this a thing?

Pull up a photo. I can't remember his name, but he was. Oh, the driver or the? No, not the driver, he's another ginger. What? James Stewart. James Stewart. It's something like that. All right, so, who's Prince Harry's real dad?

James Hewitt, James Hewitt. James Hewitt. Is this real? Pull up images, pull up images. All right, we're looking, we're gonna look. Guys, this is crazy. I mean, that's crazy. That's crazy. Okay. That looks like Khloe Kardashian and Kris's trainer.

It's loading up here. He seems very blurry as well. I agree, Harry's blurry. So who is this guy? Who is... Yes, go ahead. From what I remember reading years ago, this is a man that Diana definitely did have an affair with. That's clear. The timeline is what's tricky because I don't think she... They don't think she had that affair before Harry was born but they look exactly alike well this is a photo that quashes the rumors that oh all right so that all right so why does that that's the rumors oh I guess maybe quash is it by confirming it? He's got red hair.

Oh, I think that what they're saying is that he looks like Prince Philip, so that makes sense. But it is common knowledge at the end. That's a roundabout way to get us there. I don't know, June, you're bringing it up. I'm just saying, if we're on the royal family. I mean, what do you think, what should we do? I mean, there you go.

That doesn't really want, right? I feel like after this movie, Princess Di's memory has been, you know, tarnished enough as it is. You didn't like the woman that played Di? I thought she did a great job. What I didn't like was the whole rant about Diana and doing publicity stunts with the mines and like all of that.

That also, what about the lion that played die? Did you like the lion that played die? Can I, I wonder, did somehow this movie production have access granted by the... Like, are they doing anything that they had to get permission so that they had to frame things in a way that were pro-Queen, anti-Diana kind of stuff? I mean, the Queen hated Diana. Yes.

Just so we're all clear on that. I think everybody's clear. I also thought this movie was kind of savage towards Kate Middleton. Wow, yes. Kate, she basically took her down. She has a line at some point that's like, we're not allowed to have opinions or something that is equally as insane.

Well Kate Middleton and was it William, Prince William, they are like next to the cookie next door neighbors in this sitcom of this movie. It's like just popping in, eating like, oh. It's like, it seems so pedestrian. Like they just happen to always be hanging out. Their kids never, like it just, it was, I was like, I'm like, let's cast them in something. I would like to see, I wanna see a sitcom

of this whole dynamic. I have to say, I feel like, let's cast them in something. I would like to see, I wanna see a sitcom of this whole dynamic. I have to say, I feel like there were some missed opportunities in the movie. And one of course I said was the wedding. But the other one is when her friend's like, I've got a blind date for you. I was waiting for some fun surrounding the fact did she not know it was gonna be the prince?

Next we know she's sitting there waiting for the prince. We never got to see the part where she learned her friend was setting her up with the prince. That's what's so weird about this movie. It feels like it's just tied to reality. So like I think she it's just that's why I ask was it authorized? Yeah, because it felt authorized. Based on a text that someone got from Meghan Markle comes Harry and Meghan in a royal romance. I love when they're in the apartment and Harry's gotta be in the apartment because he can't

go out because nobody can discover and she's like, guess what, we're gonna go to a Halloween party, I've got you covered. She closes his eyes and the guy from Suits comes in and all he's holding up is garment bags. Now she's like ta-da and all he's got is garment bags. But can I can I like why couldn't he see that the man was bringing in garment bags? I have a reveal is when we see it's a frog costume. I have a reveal for him is Garment bags. I have a whole whole other issue with it. Yes on the surface That's a problem. My issue was why was the makeup artist bringing anything over? It should have been the costume person

Or the makeup artist should have been like here. I'm gonna make you look like fucking cats from the Broadway The makeup artist should have been like, here, I'm going to make you look like fucking cats from the Broadway musical Cats. Isn't it the word? And we saw a costume person before, or her stylist. Is it the costume person who set them up? It's a stylist, I think. Oh, it's a stylist.

So it's not wardrobe on suit. No, really quickly, I read an article in Vanity Fair about Meghan that came out this month. Go ahead. And they slammed her so hard in this one line. I don't know, it really, it chilled me to my core. Wait, this came out, this is not what's referred to in the movie, this is a present Vanity Fair.

They did bring up Vanity Fair many times in their relationship to the magazine. Which is crazy, by the way. This is Laura Jones on the cover, and basically it said anonymous, like one of Meghan's friends says, and I quote, Meghan Markle's the kind of girl who's best friends with her stylist

Chilling that is chilling It really chilled it right why is that chilling? What is that? What does that mean? No friends Jason? That's a rough. That's a rough line It says so much It says so much. Her best friend is someone she's to pay. Yeah, it's someone you're paying to tell you that you look beautiful. At all times. Is that what a stylist does? Pretty much.

Siri order stylist. It does unfortunately, I do feel like it. Can I add just a little bit of information about that Halloween party? Because I immediately at this point got suspicious. I was like, I need to start Googling. There is no picture that got out from that evening. There is just the rumor, like the hearsay that he was at a Halloween party. So they created this incredibly aggressive American.

Also, you didn't even fucking fly. No, I would say, why does he know so much? aggressively aggressive American. He's like, you didn't even fucking fly. You didn't even, like, no. I would say, arguably, not many men that are gonna get that drunk care that much about Prince Harry faking flight school. I mean, listen, by the way, the crazy thing, though, is like, let's bring up the Nazi costume. The Nazi Halloween costume he wore just a few years ago. If we're gonna bring up anything at a Halloween party. Yeah, not that you didn't really fly and you you like

It was his arguments were so pointy. That's the thing that is so weird It really it lives in a world in which like one of the grips on suits is obsessed with the royal family who's a Canadian like like Vancouver like a grip who or a crew guy who's just like crazy about William and Harry's military service. But I like his line. You were in the co-pilot seat. What? I do think Canadians have a different experience of England and the Royal Family.

I think they have a different experience. Oh, so you believe that that scene is more truthful than the other. Part of the Commonwealth. I did appreciate that she kept on the Hillary Clinton mask while arguing. That was. That was one of the best moments.

I was like, was the actress not there that day? Why did she need to hide her identity? That was the other problem. Meghan Markle shouldn't be hiding too. And she's in costume as Hillary after Hillary has already lost the election? No, Hillary was five days away because in the bar it was allowed,

but she's like, he said something, future president. She's like, only five days away. So I thought we were gonna see the devastation. Nope. We didn't see that scene. Maybe that's what caused her to quit suits. There's so much. Well, I just wanna, the one thing I do feel like we could talk about a lot of the surface shit

and I don't wanna get into all that because the real issue of the movie was these two people connected on this deep thing it's like you know she had this biracial relationship it was so hard for her to grow up and he was a ginger and to see these two people I'm so glad they found They found each other. Wow! So hard for her, but even harder for him. He was a ginger. I love... The fact that anyone could have written that scene

with any bit of earnestness. You think it's hard growing up by racial America? I have red hair, and I'm a fucking prince. That's hard. Microphone drop, walk out. She basically has multiple instances where she is, you know, she tells a story about like her mom being called the N word and it's bleeped right even in the the bot version of it on iTunes it is wild to bleep racist terms from racists yep it like forgives them their racism in who weird way they should be represented as horrible people saying

horrible things and we should be able to judge them for it. It felt insane to me that it was like, oh no, we're not going to allow that. We're not going to, we're going to like bleep the word within the movie. I don't know. That really bothered me. I felt like that was bizarre. Am I wrong? I agree. No, I totally agree. And I thought it was maybe like a lifetime standard. But then after just having seen the R.U. Kelly docu-series, I don't think that that's true at all. Is R. Kelly up to something? Oh, Jason.

Oh, boy. Jason, yes. I've not heard of anything. What's going on? I have tickets to see him coming up. Should I not be going? I wouldn't go. I would I would definitely Man why why did oh will you Google R Kelly and see if something's going on?

there while this movie was committed to This movie was committed to truthful tellings of the goings on. Why didn't Meghan Markle wash her hair from Africa back to set? We're like, what happened to your hair? So she didn't even hit the shower on the way home? He was like, girl, where have you been? And it's like her hair looked like she'd just been a toss. It was probably 40 hours later. Yeah. I feel like they weren't traveling harshly.

I feel like there was many chances for them to hit a shower, even if she didn't get one back in Vancouver. What was the, you're, OK. You have that experience where you are on a date and you are just connecting so hard. And everything you've shared is making you feel that moment where you are about to kiss right and

then you know what stops you the Sun coming up why why would there are they're like ooh they're vampire unless you are a vampire exactly unless you're a vampire It doesn't matter the way that the Sun has come up you still fuck You just fuck while the Sun is up that story is we stayed up all night talking It was awesome the Sun came up and we fucked The the Sun came up so aggressively as if you were watching like a time-lapse photography. It's like wham! It was like sun does not rise that aggressively. I felt so bad for the bartender who had to stay there the whole night. Oh yeah. Slumped over listening to this like what's your favorite movie? One, two, three. Worst song. By the way, Say Loay is a fucking great song. Sounded great.

So do not, and also is that what he said? Did they play that game? Guys, what is real about this movie? Why did they say, they both said that they loved a poem that Morgan Freeman had read, but they never said who wrote the poem. What? To attribute the poem to the reader of it is a fucked up thing.

That's what makes me feel like this is real. I don't think either of these dum-dums knows who wrote the poem, but I think both of them heard Morgan Freeman read it somewhere, and it might just be some lines from Morgan Freeman in the Penguin movie. I heard an amazing thing on a Toyota commercial. It was, I have a dream. Remember when they took Martin Luther King's speech and put it in a truck commercial? But you only referenced the truck commercial version of it. That was, that's where I was like, what's fucking going on?

Guys, is Megan sassy? Too sassy? Not enough sassy. She's pushy more than she's sassy. She's a pushy little princess. I found in the first date, she was a little too sassy. I would pushy more than she's sassy. She's a pushy little princess. I found in the first date she was a little too sassy. I would have been like, I'm out. 40 minutes.

He was 40 minutes late. Now that did feel like a very real detail. And would have been better with Casey's buildup. You know, if you had seen her anticipation about going on the date and then feeling like she had been genuinely stood up. Or if we just as an audience knew that she knows she's about to meet Prince Harry. Like that's a crazy...

Either way. Either way. I'm there. Or let her walk out. Right. Right. Let's let more happen. Yeah. But he let her wait for 40 minutes. You only got 83 minutes. That's a more happen. Yeah. But he let her wait for 40 minutes.

That's a long time. In an empty room. That's a long time. In an empty room. I was like... That's like a psychological test. It was like a 50 Shades of Grey type of scene. And then he basically says, I'll be in there for about 45 seconds,

and then you know what to do. Yeah. Like, that was, his plan was 45 seconds, not you know what to do. Yeah, like that was his plan was 45 Seconds not like ten minutes like it was yeah, it was a quick pullout, but he got pretty wait. Oh what? Sorry read my note from the Africa sequence, sorry That's a quick pullout. I don't like that phrase ology wise at all I'd rather that not be said on the podcast fine fine Can we he bought that out here? He bought swan at her. That's a

He is treated in Botswana like a white god He is referred to as a godsend he is like referred to as your highness It is why old how he is shown in Botswana. Because his mother is controlling all the lions. Oh that's true. But I did love that moment, I love that moment in Africa when that little girl is introduced and they're basically like her both her parents are dead and then Megamarker's like you want to get out here

It didn't seem like she was gonna say anything so I figured let's go cuddle and Then later your mom will show up as a lion and she'll give me the thumbs up, which means I can do it. I don't understand why Meghan was so upset by the missive that he put out trying to protect her and I do think her mom, Doria, was right. I agree with that. I do too. Yeah. I thought that he, like, well, I mean, obviously Kate said it was the most romantic thing and then she was upset but maybe it was because they didn't talk about it. So, maybe Paul. Maybe. It was odd because I mean I'm assuming is all, I have to assume watching this movie

that every single thing is pulled from some source material that's been on the internet somewhere. Jordyn Martini. I guess all of it. So I guess she was just, I trace it back honestly to the 40 minutes she had to wait. And feeling like, I mean, when she entered into this relationship, I think so somewhere. She was still harboring that. Have I ever left you waiting for 40 minutes she had to wait. And feeling like, I mean, when she entered into this relationship, I think so, somewhere. She was still harboring that.

Have I ever left you waiting for 40 minutes? Never. Never. That's an absurd amount of time to make someone wait. But I did feel like. Did you kill somebody for making you wait 40 minutes? I did feel like it was a romantic gesture I did feel like it was a romantic gesture

and also his mother was killed in a tunnel by the paps. This is somebody who is legitimately, of course, very scared of the attention that's coming at this woman. Of course, and then when her mom was like, remember his mom, she was like, oh yes. Oh, stop it. Yeah. Yeah. Damn it!

God damn it! This was after she was very upset when she screamed at him, my tower ain't ivory, dude. Yeah. That was the point that I cried. Not, no, no, no, sorry, not that, not that point. The point where her mother shows her the video and says to her, imagine what it must have been like

To be this you know I mean like that is the moment that caught me You know that was when I was like this fucking movie just made me cry and I am like You can you kind of bring us through your five cries? Yeah, that was definitely one with Doria. I had two cries She was great. I tried it both lions The woman one with Doria. I had two cries. She was great. I cried at both lines The woman that played Doria Fantastic amazing. I cried at both except for when she said the line. Did you tell him the whole ex-husband thing? Okay, these actors are handling dialogue that I could not Actress that I personally felt hurt that I was not asked to either audition there is an actress that I personally felt hurt

that I was not asked to either audition or immediately play it, and that was the TSA ticket woman. Wait, you wanted to play Meghan Markle or the mom? Neither. Okay. The woman at the airport. Oh.

And then let her go out onto the road. Oh. At the private airport they had? This movie is about- I could have handled that comedy. And that push-pull. Yeah, she didn't do a good job of that. Thank you. You would have killed that comedy and that push pull. She didn't do a good job of that. Thank you. You would have killed that. Thank you Paul. I wrote I should be in this.

And you were and you were and you were tech avail too right? Absolutely. I said that I would dye my beard and play Harry. But just your beard not your hair. Not my hair. Do not dye my hair. I will not do it. But I'll dye my beard. You know what? Full ginger beard. How did she get out on that runway? That's impossible.

Impossible. That did not happen. That could not have happened. The whole movie exists in a world in which one of the princes of England has no personal security whatsoever. Only once. which one of the princes of England has no personal security whatsoever. Every time they fucked in Africa, 40 people could hear it. There is no doubt in my mind.

They are surrounded by people. Which is so crazy. Every once in a while, I'm still amazed that England is paying taxes to keep these people. These inbreds. Yes and in one half it's truly insane. This is a movie, this is what's so interesting, it's an aspirational love story for the mega rich. This movie is about mega wealthy people feeling like they deserve love too. That's crazy!

But, I mean, I guess at this point... They don't! They definitely don't. You have all the money! Let us have love! No love. Bezos divorced. Yeah!

Bezos! I know why. Bezos, I've been following the text messages. I am shocked and appalled at what I'm reading. What are some of them again? I wanna put my lips on. Kissing of the lips. So gross. So much lips talk.

Yeah, it's so much dirty talk, not really, but around like central lip kissing. It's disgusting. It's so gross. It makes me so uncomfortable. Everybody at a certain age older thinks that the focus is just kissing. I wanna put my lips.

Oh, on your lips. I'm gonna put my lips on your lips and then I'm gonna do lips this. I hated it. I hated it every second of it. So her friend released those texts. Oh, in the Bezos, that woman. Sorry, that's okay.

And I'd love to see that movie. I would too. Well this. I don't know who released them. Okay, thank you. But they are out. They are out. Oh boy.

But here's the thing, like I guess at this point England is just like, well, this money to keep this family in security and to just have them live is just like money we're spending on tourism? I mean, it's their Walt Disney World, right? I mean, to a certain extent, it's like they're Mickey Mouse, but there's no rides. Again, this is like an awful lot of money. I mean, although tax players' dollars are not keeping open Disneyland, so different. Is it, again, this, this is an awful lot of money. I mean, although tax payers' dollars are not keeping up with Disneyland, so, different.

I just, listen, I love, I love Meghan, and I love what she's done. What about Kate? To shake up the whole situation, I was never a Kate fan. Never a Kate fan. Really? Never a Kate fan. This is, this movie, tough, tough look for Kate in this movie. Tough look for Kate.

Tough look. Now why is everybody in this audience also not a Kate fan? Can someone break that down? She doesn't have the charisma. No. She's no Meghan. Wow. And I think, obviously, for many of us,

what happened was we didn't know. Like, we thought we were fine with Kate until Meghan came along. Wow. And then Kate just looks so vanilla and so sad. apparently Kate and Megan don't like you, child. I know that. I'm just filling you in. Can I ask you guys a question?

She just treated you like you were 40 minutes late. I know. Are you guys fighting right now? I don't mean I just, some people may not know that. But in this movie, they were quite close. And I think they start, my guess is that they started off that way. And then I think Megan is not wanting to play the game. We all know what that game is.

As much as Kate's been willing to. Yeah, Kate said herself in the movie, I am a baby machine. Yes. And someone said to Megan, your biological clock is at 1159. And you know who said that? Kate's friend.

Exactly. Kate's friends were all the mean girls. Right? And I liked that the mean girl, her slam was like, Harry and I watched Suits together. And we didn't like it. I was like. Wait, is this, wait, are you auditioning right now?

I'd, the movie's already been made, guys. Can I ask you a question? You are still tech-a-bill. Are you doing the accent now to prove you can? It's been made. This is sad. And then she was like, I'll see you later. I loved when both of their phones start going off and he goes, it's the palace.

It's my publicist. What? Come on. There are so many things. Wait, this is another thing. How about like when the Queen walks them to a portrait and reveals that they're all mixed. I was like, is this an M. Night Shyamalan twist? I know. Well, I wanted to talk about that. The queen is like, guess what? We're all biracial. Buddy, what?

What? All right. This is some straight nonsense. This woman's 40 years younger than the queen. I've always loved this portrait of our ancestor, Queen Charlotte. Because the painter, Ramsey, didn't try to hide her African heritage. What? Oh, yes.

You're of mixed race, Harry. So am I. Many of her portraits tried to hide the fact that this one is most authentic. Much like you. Thank you. So, we have your blessing? Of course you do. Welcome to the family, my dear.

I mean the Queen is basically like, we're black too. Yes! The Queen is like the thing that makes you, you, the thing that you are the central struggle for you, one of the central struggles for you in this whole thing, us too. Yeah, got it. We are the monarchy and we also are taking away, we are also black and like she might as well be like, now I'm gonna play some Biggie Smalls,

like I don't know what's happening. Like this was a wild scene. This is irresponsible. The only thing I can think honestly is like I haven't heard the Queen speak in a while like maybe she's not all there. Like she may, she is an older woman. Like if this is true and I think every word of this movie is true then she's losing it. She later says in signing the act in front of her I don't know cabinet or whatever those people are this is I'm doing this for whatever blah blah a

divorced African-American lady yeah it's how she refers to Meghan Markle and I'm like this is a meeting this is an actual meeting these people attended. So mustn't this be what she really said? Is that true? And then she was like, deal with it. Yes. She says, deal with it. Wait, you're not auditioning for that role too, are you?

She has to deal with it. And then basically goes. Something like that. Like, what's happening? Then she was like, girl. Is she watching Drag Race? I don't get it. Queen, played by RuPaul.

Now, moving on. That is wild. You would think that that would be the place where they would have to be truthful, because it's on record in some level. But does anyone know if that was a truthful scene? Did she snap? I really liked the scene at the end when it was like her time to finally come out to the people and they're in the limo and then they blended

it with the real footage. Gorgeous! That was what got me because it's like it is all real. It's all real. No it's not! Oh my god it was... Look at it watch it watch it I was like at first it starts weirdly with a montage from the movie. We just saw Yeah, that's what's crazy. They were like they're like, you know what people probably forgotten a bunch of this stuff From earlier in the movie. Let's do a quick montage and then cut to the real people. Ken, I ask you, is that weird or is it weird that only five minutes after the first scene happened, Harry tells her the scene that happened. He's like, when I was a kid, I was out there under a tree. And like, yeah, we know, we just saw it. What's weird is I assume that's because of commercials and feeling like people might just be joining I

Mean subtle recaps. I also felt that some of these scenes. Oh, there's so many this movie does that goes to the well So often cinematography gorgeous beautiful. I know I did by the way. I did forget this draft scene So when I saw when they know like that was some good stuff. Yeah forget this draft scene so when I saw it I was like that was some good stuff yeah they they go to the well a lot of like she's in her house Harry calls chat chat or in her trailer chat chat chat and then he's right there at the door that happened so many times I was like you can't do this that's my favorite when he's been washing the dogs. He's just like us. There would be-

He was doing like, well they used to do it on SNL, like we'd be like, oh, you know, it's like Norm MacDonald's doing Burt Reynolds, and then all of a sudden Burt Reynolds is like, I'm here too, and like, Burt Reynolds! You know, it's like he would always a sneaker-upper all the time. This felt like- Burt Reynolds!

This felt like fan fiction fiction like brought to life. Like I feel like they went to a fan fiction blog and that's what they then did. Also, by the way, so if he actually did that multiple times, do you know like the egomaniac he must be to think like, your time is my time, your time is my time and the best surprise that could ever happen Is the reveal of myself? Yes, not on the phone, but in person Now I'm an imposition and it guess what guess what romance is a burden All right, shut up motherfuckers because that guy was that home for five days and she had to work for 12 hours a day

He didn't complain once. He wasn't like, you're home late. He's like, I'm here. I'm just watching these dogs. While you're killing it on Suits characters. He never complained about her schedule ever. I really wanted to know what the vibe on Suits was. That's all I was thinking about.

I feel like we didn't get to see the other actresses ever even like her. They were all at the wedding. They were, yeah. When she told the makeup person or the hair person, she was like, I'm dating. She's like, don't tell anyone, Prince Harry. He was like, mm-hmm. He was like, he was like Michael Jackson's son? With his first guest.

Yeah. And I was like, what? Who I still feel is very young. I will tell you this. My only real run-in with insane paparazzi, again, the league, one of Meghan Markle's shows, was when we had Kristin Cavallari on the league, and the paparazzi came in such a way that it shook my trailer. Like they were rumbling by.

So to think about what it must have been like for her to go on set every day. Wow. Wow. Paul, Paul, I salute you. Paul, you're like... Paul, you have been there. Paul, you are a hero. She quit for the benefit of snooze.

Paul Sheer. Paul Sheer. Beautiful. American hero. On the front line. She's a goddamn hero. I mean, people must have been losing their minds. I would have, I mean, died.

It's crazy. But at that point right? What is the cast of Royal Pains thinking? Oh? That's what I'm wondering what I'm thinking is mark for your steam must be Furious, but they start every morning being like can't one of you assholes fuck someone interesting So that this show can get some traction? By the way, I would love to look at the data. Like, did Suits start to, I mean, I know people love Suits.

I've never seen an episode of Suits. A lot of my aunts love Suits. Aunts love Suits. That's a T-shirt. Aunts are welcome. I thought that Suits did the best marketing ever. I once picked up dry cleaning, and you know how they have the paper that hangs in the thing?

It was an ad for Suits. And I was like, that's the best advertising you could possibly do. You're wearing it, why don't you watch it? Holy shit. But did, I like to look at the data. Did Suits start to do significantly better? Well, no, because it was all revealed to be

a fever dream of Romney Malick from Mr. Robot. So this is all in his head. It was another USA show. Characters are welcome. How much the best USA show, arguably? I'm so sorry to interrupt, Jason. Please. The tagline characters...

I'll allow it. I never interrupt, so... I know you don't. I'll allow it. This is big. The tagline, characters welcome. I've turned it over so many times. Are we the characters or are they? Well, it's also... Exactly.

Like... Oh. Relax, relax. I have no idea if I am a character watching it. Or am I watching characters? No, it was built off of like an ad campaign. It was predicated on when USA licensed the TV show House. And they built their entire original programming on the back of reruns of House.

And they built shows that were also these kind of big characters. But all shows are big characters. There were big characters on House. But my problem is every show is a character. Right, we're all characters. Wait, we all are? Okay.

What show is this? Guys, I got some real news on Suits. Oh boy. Okay, so here we go. The show has been trending in the wrong direction prior to Markle's exit. In its fifth season it averaged two million viewers per episode, but the number fell to 1.5 million after she left and Katherine Heigl took over, but- Wait, what?

I did not know she was on it. You guys didn't know that? I did not know she was on it. That's a tough guy for her. You guys didn't know that? Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I would like to replace Meghan Markle. Wait. Uh-huh. What? Wait. What? She said it. Do not adjust your podcast and listening equipment.

What? Okay, wait a second. Tap Jason, tap Jason, June. He's stuck. Wait a second. Wait. Jason! What's happening?

How long have I been out? Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wow, I'm really turning over this Catherine Heigl news, but... That is, that is for me the biggest takeaway from this episode. I wish at the end of this movie they had played a promo for the new season of Suits starring Catherine Heigl. Now that... There was someone playing her. Yes. Yes. for the new season of Suits starring Katherine Heigl. Now that-

There was someone playing her. Yes. Yes. Like her car should have pulled up and you shouldn't have known and then it should have been her parking spot and it'd have been like, Kay Heigl. Like I think this movie is so-

By the way, Sandra Oh definitely did leave Suits. Suits? Suits? No. She's trying to get on Suits too? She went to Suits too? Everyone's on Suits. And she married the crown prince of Norway?

What? She went on suits and got a Golden Globe. Apparently that's the way. You gotta get in there and you get something good. It's the leprechaun of the TV world. You get a win. It's somehow the inverse of the anti-Franklin and bash principle. It's the anti-Franklin and Bash principle. Right? I've got so many more shows to reference. This was wild.

This moment was pretty wild. When it flipped right into the real people, I was like, aww! And then I think what happened is, because it's just news footage, you project the personality you just saw on them and then I think it became more emotional because, yeah. Look at that. Oh, it's just movie star shots of the actual people.

Yeah, I mean, more like bad news footage, but it is still like you're up there. And she looks lovely. I do love her. I love her. And by the way that music isn't added in that actually happened live there. Just photo montage now. This is just iPhoto. And it's the same photo. It's a like the computer went to a screen saver. They only got the rights to one event. One event is all they had.

So they actually put the same photo three times across. It's like if, like, my mom made, like, an Apple photo album, like, here, mom has the same photo three times. Like, I didn't know how to delete the thing. I don't understand our obsession with this, like, the love lives of the mega rich. Like it- You're back on this soapbox. I don't get, I don't get why this is a story that,

I don't know. I don't think it's about him, it's about her. It's about like, could you be a princess? I mean, right? That's the version of it. That's the lifetime movie version. I guess that's a bummer. I mean, I think this particular story

is very compelling because of who she is, because she's biracial, because she's American, because she's divorcee, because she's 36, 37. Like, it is unusual. It was not interesting in this film. And groundbreaking. Yes.

You know, another missed opportunity, where was Samantha Markle? That's a crazy kooky character. I'd love to have seen her someone could play that would have been fun Who was? You're like my pushy little princess sister. Any, can you do two more lines? Okay. I'm writing a book and the white side of our family's crazy.

Okay, so now take those lines and edit them into the movie and just have a still image of Casey Wilson there. You across from the, whoever that guy is, the arbiter with the MacBook. Oh yeah. You against him would have been great, seemed funny, charming, would have been great. Let's go there.

Is there any world, we will go to the audience. Please. Is there any world in which she could have continued her acting career? I've thought that so many times. I, I. No. Wow.

June, you heard my story about being on the set of the league when Christy Cavallari came to set I mean. But what if it wasn't on suits? What if we went up like Nicole Kidman flew after Tom Cruise or if we really lifted? You don't think she could have done? Hold on let's find out why. Grace Kelly stopped acting. But after her whole thing, like, Grace Kelly stopped acting. But after her whole thing was like, I will not lose me, I'm giving up acting. Yes. But I just feel like there had to be some show that she could shoot in London.

It's not about locations. Oh, wow. Do you think, do you think, I don't think she gave up acting to not live in Vancouver anymore. I would've. Although, I get it. Good enough reason for me. Fuck you, Vancouver.

I feel like she. That's right. She knew. She shit. Coov. June. Well this is what I. June, as you know, a good actress has to get lost in the park.

And Megan knew that she would no longer be, no longer be an actress, she would be Meghan Markle and everything would be scrutinized and you'd be like, oh, this is Meghan Markle in Mission Impossible 6. That's fine, but is there like... Not, not, you know, Elisa Von Stroh, whatever that character. But do you, if you marry into the royal family, I guess this is my question of like, are they just tourist items or is their role,

can she not play a character? They take on human rights issues. I understand the ambassadorship, but can they not play characters for fear of saying something like political or something that would reflect poorly done? It's just not done. It's just not done.

They had to cancel their vacation this year. Their getaway, I did this research after the film, because of the paparazzi. I mean we saw that one paparazzi, his face was on the bottom. They had a lot of paparazzi. Just like your very dear friend, Kristin Cavallari. We get it. Did I work with Kristin Cavallari? No, not technically, but I was there on the same day. I can't believe your trailer was shaking. I was there on the same day that she worked.

Did I ever see her face to face? No. But we were there on the same day. How, Jason, were you affected by this? Put a bit of Big Dog to knock my trailer? Maybe. I would, no. But we were there on the same day.

No, I did not. I don't think I was in that episode. Thank God. But I will say that Megan Moore was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day.

I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the same day. I was there on the Maybe. But we were there on the same day. No, I did not, I don't think I was in that episode. Thank God. But I will say that Meghan Markle did do. If Meghan Markle had been in a scene of the league with Rafi, she would not be the princess. Honestly, that's a thousand percent true.

I think that is somehow just true. No truer words have ever been spoken. Just because if my character's in the scene, stuff is happening that would preclude her from being in the palace. The scene that she's in on the league is in the scene called Vaginal Hubris. That's her big scene where it was just sort of like, that's the scene that she's in on the league is in the scene called vaginal hubris. That's her big scene where it was just sort of like, that's the scene that she's in. But this is before, right? This is not, this is not. This is way before.

Yeah, this is okay, okay. Yeah. This is way before. Okay, let's go to the audience. This is not after, no. Let's go to the audience here. All right, who has a question? Be prepared, you'll have to ask it in a British accent. Because I'm a Clippers fan. And you can't say no, you gotta do it. I'm a Clippers fan, I'm gonna go to this gentleman in a Clippers jersey. If you need to- Sir, can you, just try your best

worst British accent. Just whatever you think it sounds like, I'm down with. Okay. Here, alright, hold on, alright, here we go. First, alright, well thank you so much. Oh boy, Paul, I don't know. Alright, hold, all right. The minute somebody says this is for you, should be your cue to walk away. Sir. Not hold out your hand and take whatever they're trying to give you. I'm gonna put this here on the stage, keep it safe.

Put your fingerprints all over it, great. All right, sir, your name and your question. My name is Sway. My name is Sway. Great. That was great. That was great. Where's the point?

I have even more concerns. We just made, yeah. We made lion friends earlier. We met somebody that's coming to the next show. She said that she knew the producer for this movie and the trainer for the first lion. the yeah, I guess when he listening. Yes When he swats away the gun, yes the trainer misread the script and thought the lion was supposed to like Bat it away. So he trained a lion to bat it away the gun

So he trained the lion to swat the rifle. So when the gun goes up, the lion essentially attacks? Yes. She'll be here next show, purple hair. Well, I feel like that you've told the story there. So but no one would no one. That's what's crazy. Oh, that's crazy for a number of reasons. By the way, if you can train lions to swat guns away, it wouldn't be bad. It wouldn't be a bad idea. Poachers, beware. These lions know what's up. They're going to swat those rifles away.

All right, ma'am, your name, your question, and the best British accent you can muster. And no commenting on it. Just commit to it. Hello. My name is Britt. So I have a question about the racist pin that was worn by Michael of Kent or whatever, but the other thing is is that June you were asking about Jeff Bezos's bad texting. Are you aware of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker's bolds, phone calls about where he was like,

can I be a Tampax for you? Oh yes. That's true. Thank you for reminding me. It is going to be tough to top that observation. That's a particular thing to wanna be. That's like, that's like, that's a whole thing. I truly put that from my brain in a way.

I've stored that in such a dark corner. That is to say. That I had no access to. my brain in a way. I've stored that in such a dark corner. That is to say. I had no access to. That is, that is. There was no key to that door. That is dry British wit. You did. All right.

I guess maybe he, no, I'm not even gonna go into it. You're gonna justify Prince Charles? No. Maybe he what? I was gonna to say maybe... Go ahead. Go ahead. Maybe what?

Do you want me to say it? No, maybe it was sort of a non-menstruating temp. Yeah, it was just something that was inside of you. Yeah. I think that's what he... I don't think he meant like, I want to help you out while you're on your period. I don't think he was saying, I hope it's a heavy flow day. Oh, it was a day two.

I think he was just saying, I'm jealous of the thing inside your vagina. Right. I don't think he was like, I'll provide a super plus absorbency. I don't think he was saying, I have a plastic applicator. Let me lend you a hand. I didn't want to say it. I'm prepared to receive the sloughing off of your uterine lining and the blood that

carries this month's egg away. Give it to me, lap lap lap. Well the other crazy thing is that she was also, I don't think she was like in a menopausal state at that time, but she was not. I hope not. At that point why are you using tampons? I don't know. Okay. Just out of habit. She has toxic shock syndrome. I don't need it, but I like that monthly routine. I'm a queen, you can have it. If that is on record, why wasn't that in the movie? I also like that Prince, didn't Prince Charles say when he met Meghan Markle, get her a gin

and tonic? And then he was like, what do you want? She's a dirty martini. But like, I thought it was odd that he ordered her a drink on first meeting her, or I didn't know if that was a thing. I think that was supposed to be like, you're in Britain now. Oh.

I don't know, she's like, nope, dirty martini for me? I think that was the moment of like- Harry says I'll get you a dirty martini, because he's meant to show that he knows what her drink is. Yeah, she's going to be her own person in this situation. Exactly, that she gets to have her own drink. Great.

You name your question. Hello there, my name is Christina. Awesome. Well done, Christina. I forgot about the accents for a second. No, that's a real British person, can't you tell? I just assumed. So like my question was when the bodyguard came into the restaurant and then Megan asked him like, oh, what's the emergency?

And like the only thing he could think of is London Bridge is falling down. Like he had never thought through the next part of that. And don't forget that was a callback on the runway. But I think when you're looking for a personal bodyguard you're looking for someone who is slow in a moment like that. Not quick witted. And who falls asleep on his steering wheel while you're up all night. While you're up all night not fucking in a restaurant, like why didn't they leave, go to a different destination? He kept her waiting for 40 minutes. I'm not going to a second location.

We are gonna stay here for a second because I've informed you also have a story. All right, so you're double dipping, it's gotta be great. This better be great. All right. So I have cousins that live in London and my cousin's husband has actually met Prince Charles. So the backstory is that he was in NATO and like in Africa actually helping refugees,

like, you know, diving in for like guerrilla warfare. And then so he was actually presented with a medal from Prince Charles and all he said was a comment about the weather Whoa Charles is a psychopath Psycho he is he's not a well person Great story. You did a good double dip there. Okay, here we go. Yes, your your name your question My name is candy by the way, this is the second time I've had to do a British accent and the second time I've seen the show.

But you didn't work on your accent between those two. June Slam. June slam! How does that feel? It was pretty great. Did the person playing the queen just watch Cinderella and watch the Fairy Godmother was like, got it, let's do it. It wasn't a great portrayal. I felt like it was more jaunty, like I don't feel like that queen moves ever.

Again, because this was paid for by the queen. It must have been, although it was also very at times anti-monarchy. Yes. You know, like there were elements of it that were definitely anti-monarchy. Because there's no way to be pro-monarchy. I agree. There's no, I would love to hear from, if anyone in the audience has any intel on the Queen's husband. Anyone. Wait, what are we doing right now? No, I looked him up today. Are we actively turning into a true crime podcast? If anybody would like to make baseless accusations on a podcast, we would.

I asked, are Prince Philip and her, I looked up today on Google, brother and sister or married? Yeah, just what's going on? He's alive and well. All right, hold on, here we go. They're third cousins. He's 97 years old. Say that one more time. Sorry. He's 97 years old. Say that one more time.

Sorry, he's 97 years old. Is this a real accent? Where are you from? Is this a real accent? Yes, sorry. Oh boy. Okay. Do it in American. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta flip it. So like, two days ago ago he was driving around us. Well done. Two days ago he was driving his car around Sandringham, the estate, and crashed into

someone else's car that had a family with a nine month old baby in it. He rolled his car, like they were injured. He was fine. Two days later, he's in a new car back on the road. That's my intel about this. He's 97 driving around in a Range Rover. To be fair, to be fair. Hold on, that was great.

Can we ask her one more question? He is the, I will say, when I had him as a Lyft driver in London, I gave him five stars. He was very good. He just wants to talk to people. Anyone else have any more intel? Intel? Intel?

Intel. Intel. All right, there are some hands trying to sneak in some intel. All right. Back to the back. Did you have a follow-up question, June? Well, my follow-up question is, like, what is your relationship to the royal family, just in general?

Oh, yeah, if you're British and want want to talk we'd love to talk to you. How do you feel about Di? How do you feel about the boys? Just Kate, Megan? I don't know them personally. Of course, I would never expect that. So when they use the term family they don't mean that you're all related over there in one big... No they sort of don't massively affect everyday life. Sometimes when they get married we get a day off which wasn't the case with this wedding though. It was not the case? No we didn't get a bank holiday. I feel like we got a day off. I think it was on a Saturday maybe.

It was a weekend wedding, yeah. I'm very surprised that the cast system is so, exists, it's so strong there that people aren't really friends with different cast and yet here comes Megan, here comes Kate as a commoner, her parents own a party store. So like, when Kate says- It's not only a question, it's amusing and please.

When Kate says to Megan in the film, us commoners have to stick together. So Kate was technically a commoner, but not in the sense that she wasn't from a council estate or anything. Her parents were still millionaires. She was still very like... And yet they were still hawking shit. They still tried to make a dirty dollar off of... They were self-made though, right?

Self-made? Kate's family, yeah. I believe... I'm not 100% sure, but also I believe that Kate had gone to St. Andrews, the university that William went to, because she wanted... She was known as someone... There were a lot of girls that went there because they wanted to become a princess. It was like a...

And then there were the girls who went to suits, much like suits. Suit. Are there? That's how you do it. You go to certain universities or certain schools, or you get on suits. Two ways. Characters welcome, goodbye princesses. Now am I wrong?

Am I wrong in saying I thought that the gossip was that... Ooh, the gossip. Yeah. This is turning into a real gossip show. That Megan was still kind of married when she met Harry. No? No. Okay.

Done with that. That's not the Megan I know. All right. No? No. Okay. Done with that. That's not the Megan I know. Alright. The only, I thought the actors were so good, the only line I had trouble with was when somebody goes, is he sexy? And she goes, hells yeah! I was like, that is the line you have not sold me on. Everything else, flawless.

Flawless. Flawless. I'd like to see her in a lot more things. Yes. Okay. She's actually the actress, I will say, sorry to interrupt, the actress who played Meghan Markle in this made for TV movie is now engaged to the royal prince. They met on the set of suits. They met on suits. Separately. They met on the fake set of suits. They met on the fake set of suits on the making of this movie. The Finnish, the Crown Prince of Finland was doing a studio tour, saw the girl playing Meghan Markle, fell in love with her. All right, sir, your name, your question.

Hello, my name is Teddy. Um, um, uh, so, there was a point in the film where Prince Harry, Prince William was talking about Prince Harry Botswana-ing people. I wasn't really sure how many people he's Botswana-ed and what exactly that may mean. Yeah, I mean, I have a theory, but I'd like to hear your theories up there. What was the question exactly? He's basically saying.

The question was like, what does it mean when he Botswana's someone? Like to sweep a girl off to Botswana, to impress her, I think is the intonation of that. I thought to kind of have like a first date to kind of get laid, right? That's what I thought. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I mean, he doesn't have to take them to Botswana

to seal the deal. But it sounds like that's maybe what he's up to what I thought. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. I mean, he doesn't have to take them to Botswana to seal the deal. But it sounds like that's maybe what he's up to. That's his move. That's his move. That's very nice. I don't think it's very nice. Or it's colonial insanity. Yes.

It's wild. He's like, you know what? Guess what? I've got a great idea for a second date. What will turn you on to these people's misfortune? And he's like, I have a great idea for a second date. Don't worry. We'll have servants.

We'll stand atop a hill and hold a lion. What's going on? It is wild. I mean, Prince Harry was known as quite the party boy. That's why I couldn't believe he was stuck inside for those five days. I felt claustrophobic for him. I'm like, this man wants to party.

Yet he didn't complain. A true hero. What a man. Your name, your question. Holly, what did you think about The Choice when they were dancing at the wedding and they played crazy by Britain Down? I wrote that down too.

There was no way. Is that a British thing? Is that a good wedding song in England? There's no way they played crazy at a royal wedding. There was no way. Is that a British thing? Is that a good wedding song in England? There's no way they played crazy at a royal wedding. It was so strange. Also, there was about seven people at Pippa's wedding. And did you notice, because remember that whole thing? No, in this movie, there's like four extras.

And remember, obviously, Pippa's wedding, everyone was, oh, no, no, no, that was their wedding. We were looking at her ass. That was Kate's wedding. OK, but they didn't bring the camera lower on the woman playing Pippa. And I felt like, let's see. What?

Well, that's what we know of Pippa. What? Her ass. Wow. I'm sorry. It's like we're seeing, oh, they're so into details. Like Prince William has a bald spot. You know? Pippa has a nice ass.

Let's see it. Yep. Let's get in there. Yeah, let's see it. Let's get in there. I totally agree. Do you think that was part of the casting process and should it have been?

Yes. Yes. Yes. So is that, was that invite situation of Pippa's wedding the reason why Kate and Meghan don't get along? No ring, no bring? Oh, is that what's suggested? I think Kate turned on her

when everybody went crazy for Meghan, that was it. Wow, wow. I was also impressed with how quickly Meghan Markle went from hanging out in the bedroom to appearing at that wedding. What do you think the real time of that would have been? That turnaround time was pretty exceptional. Very quick.

In real life, I believe they were together for six months. Before the wedding? Before the wedding. Before the wedding. It was not, I mean, is this accurate? Before Pippa's wedding or their own wedding? Their own wedding. They were not together for that long.

And I think she's pregnant at her wedding, right, in real life? A thousand percent. That's fucking cool. Gotta be, guys. So you think they have unprotected sex? Botswana'd, man. She got Botswana'd at 11.59. Guys, when you go home tonight, just be like, I'm gonna Botswana you tonight. All right, here we go.

Let's see, we got this last one. Here we go, a lot of pressure on you. Your name, your question. Hello, my name is Nathan, and I have a quick question and a very quick comment. Let it fall away. The question is, did... Did Prince Harry write his own dialogue he seemed like he was

building his own Batman story at a certain point like Alfred was bringing him the bad news you're partying too hard and then the Lions kept showing up was he lion man I don't know you're not wrong it is structurally very similar to Batman. Like his mother is killed in crime tunnel and he is inspired by the lion. The lion comes to him and is like I will watch out for you. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into some sort of lion based vigilante. It's not it is not the worst idea. There has been that lion-based vigilante solving all those crimes in London lately. Yeah.

Roar! That would be tough to sell. I thought it was odd that their big thing with Diana was like, you can be naughty, but don't get caught. Yeah. And then they're like, yeah, you can dress up as Nazi stuff, but don't get caught. Ha ha ha!

Strange. Let's watch that scene for a second, because I wanted to see... This is Diane. She looks exactly like her. Your Highness, these are for the Queen's meeting with the privy count. Oh, such a shame. They look delicious.

Perhaps if you're feeling peckish, we could arrange for something to be brought up. A hot dog. A hot dog? I like that they made her like a hot dog which seems so American. I think that's for the kid isn't it? Isn't that for him later? No he's eating these snacks. Oh okay. So like here's the thing. And hot dogs come back again later. They do. Why won't they let her have food? Well she's nursing a... Do you think big hot dog underwrote this movie?

Hot dogs in bed with the monarchy did writing life. I mean, did Hebrew national finance this movie in partnership with the Queen? Presented by the Royal. You make us look good. We'll make you look good. Handshake, handshake, handshake. She is nursing a raging eating disorder during this period of her life. Right, right, of course.

They, so, from what I remember, I'm a little hazy on my princess diet. She was bulimic. I know she was bulimic, but I know that the- Wow, you got shut down again. 40 minutes late again. Sorry, again, I don't know how much everyone knows.'s the- Wow, you got shut down again. 40 minutes late again. Sorry, again. I don't know how much everyone knows.

Well, June, did you know the thing that Prince Charles, when he was like wooing her, he said, I want to be a hot dog in your mouth. I didn't know that. I did know that when she was- Cause I know I'll come right back up again. I do remember when she was pregnant, I think with William,

she threw herself down a flight of stairs. I know. Isn't that season one of The Staircase? She was deeply unhappy. That's too far! Fuck you guys. How dare you? This is an audience of owls. They were, all of this is to say, they were watching her every move.

And so yeah, I don't think they would give her treats. I think they were watching every single thing she ate. But wouldn't they want her to eat? No, but she was under so much pressure to be thin and the way she looked was scrutinized. They wanted her to be thin. They wanted her to be very thin. And she was playing off that notion, knowing her son could steal food.

So strange, okay. All right, well, obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there with another opinion, and it's now time for second opinions. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!

Woo! Woo! Second opinion, Pritch Charles is a tampon. Second opinion, second opinion. Give it up for Mariah. I like keeping it short. I did too. Mariah saw the need, came up with a song on the spot. Awesome job. I like keeping it short. I did too.

Mariah saw the need, came up with a song on the spot, awesome job. Well there are many second opinions about this film on Amazon. And I'll get into them right here. And they all are wonderful really. So I'm just going to read you some of the highlights. This one is from Queen Amazon. It is titled Re-Markable. What makes this a five-star movie is the remarkable, again they use it again, resemblances to the real-life royals and the un-royal cast of

characters, especially Megan and Prince Diana. Princess. I also enjoyed the cinematography and sets when portraying the scenes in Africa. Who knows, it might have been filmed in the San Diego Zoo, but I found it enjoyable. Five stars. (*audience laughs*)

Can you imagine looking at those scenes and being like, looks like the San Diego Zoo? This is the other one I really love. This is titled simply romantic. The writer is so Wisconsin customer. And it was, I watched this movie when it was on Lifetime. I purchased the streaming version so I could watch it anywhere I don't know if this movie is based on actual events but I don't care five stars this one from valiant Sun titled great Loves It. This is my wife's favorite

video. She watches it several times a week. Five stars. Several times a week. I wish you could reply to that person because I would reply your wife wants to leave you. By the way that was written December 31st 2018 so on New Year's Eve just a handful of days ago this guy's like I gotta get on here and talk to someone. Maybe there's a support group for this. She's just auditioned for Suits. Should I be concerned? This is Katherine Heigl's husband. This one's written by Elver Jones. Another kind of interesting watching thing here. Simply titled Harry and Meghan. And it says, I really like the movie.

I watch it every night. It relaxes me. Five stars. Every night. Wow. There you go people. Wow. I mean what if you watched this movie every night? Every night? When I watched it on an airplane and I had a very special person sitting behind me who saw me watch it and it was saw me furiously taking notes and that was Michelle Pfeiffer. What? Who just got on Instagram. Thank God. Just to rag on you for watching this movie. She's like this is what I... wait so she saw you. She was sitting behind me and I noticed her and then I see her get up like demurely with her scarves she was so beautiful and I literally feel her then turn and see her like it's shocking it's like watching someone just you know

watch porn on an airplane it's like keep that to yourself lady which is not cool apparently if they're gonna give you the Wi-Fi If they're gonna give you the Wi-Fi. Um... Jason, would you recommend this movie? You know... You know, I don't... I don't know that I would. It is not very good.

It is actually patently absurd. But there is something enjoyable about it in a weird way. I didn't, you know, no. I wish it was shorter. If it was a one-hour movie, I'd be like, yes. If there's a one-hour cutout there, you're recommending it. Yeah, if Topher Grace wants to do a re-edit of this, if he's looking for something else to cut down, this might be it. June? You know, hmm.

I think I would have been happier and much more satisfied with just a deep Google search. You know, cause it did, it did scratch some itch. Like if you spent 85 minutes Googling, you feel you could have gotten a better story. Yes. Would you want a movie, what about a movie in which the movie like searching or one of those movies, the movie is just a computer screen and all it is is somebody doing very

deep dive research about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Would that be enough of a movie for you to watch? Yes, yes, yes. Because I still, by the way, I'm not done with my Googling. I haven't even started. It's like I have barely scratched the surface. Oh, see, that's so interesting.

I will forget all of this tonight. No. But yet this will be the only movie that June will ever remember from this show. Yeah, so I will go, what I have to, what's on my list of things to do. Oh God, there's a list? I want to, first of all, I need to understand

what's going on with the Queen's husband and get some information. And he's retired, right? You just need to get your bearings there. Is he retired? Okay. I just need to right the ship a little bit for myself and understand him and their connection. I also need to understand who this stylist is that put them together.

Oh, that's interesting, because that person- I know all about her. Oh, you do? You do? Yes. Yes, she was her maid of honor. Can you share anything? I mean, I don't-

How does she know? She's her best friend. How does an LA stylist know? She's not LA stylist. She's British, so she's part of the family? Oh, I thought she was British. She's part of, like, Canadian, the Ellie Stilas. She's British, so she's part of the family? Oh, I thought she was British. She's part of like Canadian, the upper crust of Canada. I didn't know they had one.

That's not a real thing. You said the upper crust of Canada. I just want to make sure that's not a real thing. Unless you're referring to the ice crust of Manitoba. There is no upper crust of Canada. That's right, Canada slam. Go to her Instagram. I feel like maybe you can't speak plainly right now, but I will give you afterward for some information.

Canadians can. All right. Casey, you cried five times. Would you recommend this movie? No. Wow. The one thing I'll say in defense of myself is that you know when you're on an airplane you are an open pore. This is what I call Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 theory. I call it the chef theory. I heard though yesterday the reason why we cry on airplanes is because the oxygen in

the plane is more processed, so you're just prone to crying more. I felt like my eyes were just leaking. So I can't really connect it to the movie. Maybe it was Michelle behind me, I'm not sure, but I can't recommend it. I can't recommend it enough. I would say that while I enjoyed the watching of it and it went down easy and smooth like a classic diner fare, it's not something that...

It went down easy and smooth like a classic diner fare? What does that mean? I'm reading the Amazon reviews. Like a stack of pancakes? What is this? Like a bacon cheddar cheeseburger and home fries? Like a diner fare. Like a classic diner fare. Like a stack of pancakes? Like a bacon cheddar cheeseburger and home fries? Like a stack of pancakes Let me like bacon cheddar cheeseburger and home

Yes movie goes down look, let me put it plainly free this movie's like a hot dog sure it's great Everyone loves hot jobs up Camilla's China. No, but I feel the same way. It was a fine watch. It wasn't torturous to get through, but there's nothing in it that you must see, except for this scene, which I will now play, which is being biracial and being a ginger, just so you can just hear it.

People always ask me, what are you? When I say I'm an actor, I'm a blogger, I'm a decent cook, a firm believer in the effectiveness of a handwritten note. What they mean is, what are you, black or white? It's like they just can't wrap their heads around anything in between. And I couldn't either as a kid.

You know, especially after the divorce, I had to be two different people. How old were you? Six. Getting shuttled between two worlds. You know, my parents really tried to help. I remember one Christmas, my dad put together two sets of dolls. One black and one white to make a little blended family. That was a crime.

I mean, I'm proud of it now that I can't just be put into a box. But at the time it was really, really hard. Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm getting too serious for you. No, no, no, no. You want to talk serious? Try being a ginger in England. Ginger? Oh, redhead.

Ah! Okay, why are the Harry Potter films so unrealistic? Why? Because the ginger kid has two friends. What did the ginger make for dinner? What? Reservations for one. Aww. Okay, last one.

What do gingers look forward to later in life? I don't know, what? Grey hair, obviously. I'm sorry, I feel like I really shouldn't laugh at that. No, no, no, it's kind of funny. Except people used to say I couldn't really be my father's son because of this. This is from the Spencer's line, which by the way is older than the Windsor's. So technically my dad married up.

Wow, I didn't realize he addressed the rumor in the thing. I was too furiously writing it down. He says from the Spencer line his dad married up. He goes, this red hair has been giving me some issues. He says from the Spencer line his dad married up. He goes this red hair has been giving me some issues. He did some propaganda for the monarchy again. Don't believe it, June? I have trouble with it.

I have trouble with it. He just looks so much like, what's his face? You can see it. It's troubling. All right. Let's get into it. Jason, you wanna plug anything? I will say that the movie that I'm in, The Long Dumb Road, that Casey is also in

and is fantastic in, is available on all streaming platforms. So you can get it on your iTunes, your Amazon, your whatnots. And then- Are there no parts for some of your other friends in it? Oh. Yeah, what's up with that?- Were there no parts for some of your other friends in it? Oh. Yeah, what's up with that?

Actually, there is still a part in it for sure. Whoa! We have not finished actual filming. Is Tony Revelori locked in in that role? Tony is, he's in it, but we are considering a flash forward where- Ooh, I like this. It's Tony's a little older,

and you could be perfect for that. You looked at both of us. I'm open to it. Yeah, I'll say that and then, you know. This podcast. This podcast? Well, if people are listening to this. Yeah, this podcast.

How did this get made? If you want them to know, it's something you're a part of. You do this like, so, what's your favorite worst movie, Jason? Like, yeah. Ooh. One, two, three. Wow. So the fifth season of Grace and Frankie

is now streaming on Netflix. So please check that out. I am in a show with Paul Scheer called Black Monday that is on Showtime with Don Cheadle and Andrew Rannells, Regina Hall. And you're super funny. And so are you. And that's Sundays at 10 p.m. Didn't get as much applause as the other two things. No big deal. But that's because Paul, we're playing this in the future and it hasn't come out yet.

Yeah, so that's right. Okay, that's what it has to be. And I co-host the podcast Bitch Sesh with Danielle Schneider. And then in addition to telling you to continue watching Black Monday, which you've been enjoying for the last couple of weeks. You've been loving it. I want to also say that if you're a comic book fan, I am co-writing a new series for Marvel taking over the reins for the fantastically talented Donny Cates on Cosmic Ghost Rider. So if you're buying comic books, tell your comic book wholesaler, like, buy the book that I'm writing about comic.

I don't know how it works technically, but just go to your comic book shop and be like, yeah, order more of those and then buy a lot of them. And then I'll have to come and reimburse you. Like, you're like, why did I buy 10? You're reimbursing people for these? It's a weird, like, it's a pyramid system. This is flawed. I guess it's not like... But if you buy them, then it's cool.

You're not even buying them back, you're just reimbursing them. They get to keep the copies? Anyway, Cosmic Ghostwriter comes out this March, a six-episode series. Very excited to do that. Hope we don't mess it up. Thank you all for coming. A big thanks to Avril Halle, who cut all these amazing clips, recommended this movie. Nate Kyle did all this amazing research.

July up the booth, Cody in the back, everybody here at Argo. Casey Wilson, thank you everybody. Good night!
