Super Familiar with The Wilsons
Marriage 2.0 with kids…and all the side quests!
Super Familiar with the Wilsons is a weekly comedy podcast about second marriage blended family life, and the beautiful chaos of parenting, aging, and figuring it all out (again). Hosted by Amanda and Josh, partners in life, love, and side quests, each episode dives into real-life stories, quirky observations, listener emails, and spontaneous tangents that somehow always circle back to relationships, resilience, and the absurdity of modern life.
Whether you’re navigating your own second act, raising kids who don’t want your help, or just wondering why birds seem to aim for your head, you’ll find humor, honesty, and heart here. Expect: offbeat storytelling, second-marriage dynamics, parenting fails, philosophical detours, and new friends you didn’t know you needed.
Familiar Wilsons Media produces content to bring people together. We are curious, hopeful, and try not to take ourselves too seriously...admittedly, with varying degrees of success.

Last week on Super Familiar with the Wilsons.
SPEAKER_02:But I would like to talk about my weight loss journey.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. It's not a journey.
SPEAKER_02:It's not a journey.
SPEAKER_00:It's not begun.
SPEAKER_02:If there's a map like of point A to point B, like I want to get from Gainesville where I am to New York City, what I've done is I've gone more towards Miami. You've gone south.
SPEAKER_00:I'm going to be so annoyed when you're editing this later because I'm going to be able to hear my laugh in the other room. But this is so damn funny. All right. So you gain weight is basically what you
SPEAKER_02:said. I am actually the heaviest after this weekend where we went away. I'm the heaviest I've ever been
SPEAKER_01:in my life. I'm so sorry.
SPEAKER_02:last week i had to i was doing something at work and i had to to run like somewhere like kind of a brisk jog and um
SPEAKER_01:like there was jiggling there was
SPEAKER_02:jiggling where there's never been jiggling before it is bad it was jiggling in what i now refer to as my bra area
SPEAKER_00:There you have it. You're all caught up.
UNKNOWN:Let's go.
SPEAKER_02:Welcome to Super Familiar with the Wilsons. I'm Josh.
SPEAKER_00:I'm Amanda.
SPEAKER_02:Amanda, would you mind taking some dictation for me?
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I live for it.
SPEAKER_02:Dear DoorDash... Please note that exclusive and Whopper don't belong in the same email title.
SPEAKER_00:I'm sorry, what? They have exclusive Whoppers at DoorDash? I
SPEAKER_02:got an email from DoorDash today that said, act now on this exclusive deal, Whopper Melt from Burger King.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, first of all, you're getting emails from DoorDash. By the way, I hope you're tipping your DoorDash drivers because gas, not so cheap right now. But you can only get the Whopper Melt from DoorDash?
SPEAKER_02:I don't assume that they're like holding these Whopper Melts in the back.
SPEAKER_00:That's really concerning if they are.
SPEAKER_02:But do you know what a Whopper Melt is? I
SPEAKER_00:assume it's like a patty melt. They just smush it together with melted cheese.
SPEAKER_02:I'm calling BS on all of the things. So we're doing this game now that we've entered in with Burger King where they tell us one thing and then there's a reality, right? So I'm going to read this to you. The delicious Whopper melt features two slices of toasted bread. Stop there. Two singed pieces of the bottom half of a bun. Right on top and bottom.
SPEAKER_00:Okay. What do they do at the tops?
SPEAKER_02:Doesn't matter. Don't care. That's an extra. An extra exclusive something? Extra exclusive. But that's what that is. I saw the picture. Ridiculous. Two Whopper Junior patties that are supposedly a quarter pound of flame grilled beef. Now, I will tell you there's an asterisk next to the quarter pound.
SPEAKER_00:It's the weight prior to cooking.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, right. It's appreciably less than a quarter pound of meat, right? Yeah. Melty American cheese.
SPEAKER_00:I do like some melty American cheese. I know you do. So in other words,
SPEAKER_02:flavorless gloop.
SPEAKER_00:No, I like the gloop.
SPEAKER_02:Caramelized onions, meaning burnt onions. and stacker sauce, meaning we don't know what the hell is in this, so we're gonna give it a weird generic name.
SPEAKER_00:Stacker sauce?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, I don't know.
SPEAKER_00:So a patty melt should be the things that you've said, a melted cheese, a pressed bun, caramelized onions, and caramelized onions are yummy if you do them correctly. I don't think that Burger King is necessarily doing them correctly. And then the sauce should be like a Thousand Island sauce.
SPEAKER_02:It also says try it with spicy jalapenos or crispy bacon. Let me tell you, never ever has there been... crispy bacon within miles of a Burger
SPEAKER_00:King. That's so true. Because I grew up, when we would go on road trips, we would stop at Burger King to get breakfast, because McDonald's breakfast was not a thing in my family. I know that you love it with your whole heart.
SPEAKER_02:Used to.
SPEAKER_00:But my dad was into Burger King breakfast, and I would get the croissan'wich. You know, they do the croissant. Yeah, I remember the croissan'wich. But I would get it without eggs, so I would just get cheese and bacon.
SPEAKER_02:But it wasn't crispy.
SPEAKER_00:But it was never crispy bacon. No, no, no. It was like rubbery, like one of the dog's chew toys. No, it was melty bacon. It was melty
SPEAKER_02:bacon. So there you go. If you can just have that typed up and on my desk by the
SPEAKER_00:Shall I email it to DoorDash and ask them to forward it to Burger King?
SPEAKER_02:Type it up and we're going to mail it through the U.S. Postal Service. Okay. And they'll get it in a couple weeks and there you go.
SPEAKER_01:Okay. Not like that.
SPEAKER_02:Correction. A few weeks ago in actually another podcast, I misidentified brawny as bounty paper towels because we were talking about how the guy on the packaging had a mustache it reminded me of magnum but you had said that they had taken the mustache off and i said oh yeah that's bounty no that's
SPEAKER_00:brawny i thought about that when i listened to it back did you get contacted by somebody no no with an immediate cease and desist
SPEAKER_02:no it just stuck with me okay Also, speaking of sticking with me, last week we had a segment where you cried.
SPEAKER_01:I did cry.
SPEAKER_02:And I played it for a little bit of a laugh. And because you know me, of course you know that I love you with my whole heart. Yes. And I'm very sensitive to how you feel and how you react to things. And so you took my joking for what it was, which is how we deal with stuff around here, is that we try to laugh because God knows if you don't laugh, then you're going to cry.
SPEAKER_00:And you're going to cry
SPEAKER_02:more. So you know that, but the people who listen don't necessarily have that perspective. And I actually... upon releasing it struggled a bit with the perception that people might have that I'm just a jerk. Actually, no, I take that back. I don't know that I really care that people think I'm a jerk, but I do want people to know that I love you and that-
SPEAKER_00:That I'm not married to a jerk. That
SPEAKER_02:you wouldn't put up with that sort of thing. So there you go.
SPEAKER_00:No, and that's the truth. And it didn't bother me because I knew that it was coming from a place of joking. And I mean, it's a thing that we've been joking about from go when it started, but it didn't bother me at all. But I do appreciate you being reflective about it.
SPEAKER_02:You're welcome.
SPEAKER_00:Thank you.
SPEAKER_02:All right, now for fact of the week. Oh, yeah. So one of these facts I don't think you know, and I think one of these facts you do know, but I want to talk about both of them. Where do butterflies keep their tongue?
SPEAKER_00:That's not something I've ever considered, but as someone who's taught the life cycle of butterflies several times, decades long in preschool and kindergarten and first grade, I've never really looked... It's like something weird like in their bottoms or something, isn't it?
SPEAKER_02:Many insects, including butterflies, have contact chemoreceptors in their legs.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, yes, okay, good.
SPEAKER_02:So butterflies taste with their legs. I didn't know that. Oh, you didn't know that? Now that you say that, I didn't know that. They can also taste with sensory organs in their mouth parts, of course. They have sensory organs on different parts of their body. Some butterflies can see with their... Okay,
SPEAKER_00:I didn't know their eyes were there.
SPEAKER_02:And here with their wings.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, well, they're picking up on vibrations, right? Not actually like auditory hearing. I don't
SPEAKER_02:know about the seeing out your butt, though.
SPEAKER_00:No, I was putting the tongue there, but the eyes is just as weird.
SPEAKER_02:You're putting the tongue where?
SPEAKER_00:No, get out of here. It's not what I meant, and you know it.
SPEAKER_02:Can you imagine, though, us having photoreceptors in our feet?
SPEAKER_00:No, I mean...
SPEAKER_02:Shoe sales would go out the roof. Can you imagine flavored shoes?
SPEAKER_00:Oh, gosh.
SPEAKER_02:Ooh, I think there's a market for that. I'm quite certain that flavored shoes is already a kink.
SPEAKER_00:Well, I mean, edible underwear is, so it's just one more piece of clothing.
SPEAKER_02:What if that's because some people have chemical receptors? Never mind. Here's the next one that I think that you knew, but I just learned it.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_02:Mixing alcohol... how it has deleterious effects is a myth.
SPEAKER_00:That's right. So that cute little rhyme that you learned... Doesn't really mean anything.
SPEAKER_02:What is the rhyme?
SPEAKER_00:The liquor before beer in the clear, beer before liquor, never sicker. I
SPEAKER_02:didn't actually remember what the rhymes were. And red meets black is friend of
SPEAKER_00:Jack.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, okay. Well, anyway.
SPEAKER_00:Unless you're like Jack Daniels in Black and Tan. So this was always a
SPEAKER_02:thing, though, that, you know, growing up when I was going out and drinking, I would be super paranoid about mixing because, oh, God, you know, I thought that I would explode.
SPEAKER_00:I didn't think that I would explode, but... But I thought that it would make the hangover really worse. Turns out, not the case.
SPEAKER_02:Well, here's the thing, though. So I did a little reading about it. Certain types of alcohol are more likely to lead to a hangover than others. So it's not that you've mixed them. It's like if you have beer and you have wine and you're not used to getting a hangover with, let's say, beer. It's the wine that's giving you that hangover. But then the second thing is the more you mix alcohol, the more likely you are to lose track of how much you've had.
SPEAKER_00:Correct. So it's really consumption. It's the amount and also the varying ABV levels. So if you're having a beer that's 4%, 5%, but then wine goes up to 12 to 14, but then you jump up to mixed drinks and that's like 20 to 40 or absinthe is like 170 or whatever it is. So then you're getting considerably more. So
SPEAKER_02:this is what the Mayo Clinic says, that you're more likely to have a hangover if you drink alcohol that contains a chemical that results from the fermenting process and provides flavor. And so that's in dark alcohols such as brandy, bourbon, dark beer, red wine, have more of these than clear or lighter alcohols like vodka, gin, and lighter beers. Now, I will tell you that the worst hangover I've had was
SPEAKER_00:from vodka. But it's probably... A whole lot of vodka though, right? Oh
SPEAKER_02:my God. I had like a big old 7-Eleven Slurpee cup that I filled up a couple times.
SPEAKER_00:And that was just straight vodka? Yes. Oh, friend, how are you still here? It
SPEAKER_02:was touch and go there for a few hours. No, it was bad. And that's a good 20 years ago. And I still remember.
SPEAKER_00:You won't drink vodka now.
SPEAKER_02:Vividly. No, I don't like vodka at all. And so that's why.
SPEAKER_00:So red wine has always been the thing. I didn't start drinking until my 30s. So it wasn't really something that I grew up with. I mean, I have it like if I was having dinner with somebody and they had wine, I'd have a glass. But wow, this makes me sound like I drink a lot now. And that's not what I mean. But my My very-
SPEAKER_02:She says that she sips her gin. My gin and tonic. Her podcast gin.
SPEAKER_00:This is my podcast gin now. Well, so this is my point to you is that I really can't do red wine anymore. And then I'm like, oh, I'll be fine. And then I try it. I get such bad headaches. And I was in the grocery store line the other day and I was buying you Corona. And I had this giant box of it because it was on clearance. Not sure why. What was why all of a sudden the giant box of Corona was on clearance. And this older woman, senior citizen lady, um, in front of me she was checking out with her friend and she said oh that's what we forgot we forgot the beer and the friend said oh no and just kind of laughed and I said well this is for my husband and then
SPEAKER_02:and they were like sure it's for your husband
SPEAKER_00:sweetie then I made a comment about you being from Miami and I'm not really sure why but then the other lady was like oh I'm from Miami and I'm going to talk about Miami for a little bit and then I said something about preferring wine but I have a hard time and then the other woman was like oh no I can't do wine anymore that's why I just get cognac I don't even know what cognac is But she loves it. Point is, I learn a lot about people at the grocery store when I'm standing in line. And the older you get, the harder red wine is. So I'm just having a little bit of this Irish gin. Cooper something? Cooper City or something that you bought me that I like? So, yeah. What were we talking about?
SPEAKER_02:First of all, it's copper. Copper. Second of all, speaking of Publix, I didn't tell you this. I was at Publix today getting too few things for too much money. It was ridiculous. They have a person in the parking lot whose job it is to go collect the carts from the different places. He was pushing maybe five or six of them. He was about, I don't know, six feet in front of me as I was walking. And a car pulled out, like backed up right as he was behind it.
SPEAKER_00:Oh no.
SPEAKER_02:This little dude- could have been in the shopping cart Olympics for the move that he pulled with these five carts that were all daisy-chained together, and he somehow whipped them out of the way. Very impressed. And then, for whatever reason, I kept seeing him in the store, and he just gave me a look and says, that lady, man. Did he really? But yeah, it was real.
SPEAKER_00:So you guys experienced a moment together, and now you're bonded forever? We
SPEAKER_02:did. His name is Jacob. He's coming to dinner.
SPEAKER_00:See, you meet people at the grocery store, too.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah. And now it's time for the waffle iron crucible. What is that?
SPEAKER_00:I make that noise because the waffle iron crucible makes such a mess when you experiment.
SPEAKER_02:So here's the thing. I have two things that I brought home to try in the waffle iron
SPEAKER_00:crucible. I was there when they were happening. So the
SPEAKER_02:first thing, the idea behind this crucible is that I'm testing these food products to see what I like about them. to see what quality maybe putting them in the waffle iron will bring out in them. Really, I mean, who am I kidding? It's just a chance for me to screw around with appliance. So two things. First thing I tried was southern potato salad.
SPEAKER_00:Is that what that was? I thought you had the tarragon chicken salad in it.
SPEAKER_02:No, southern potato salad. Now, I love potato salad, but sometimes there's a texture issue where it's just mushy. Kind of mushy. Yeah, yeah. So I figured I'll put it in the thing. It will crisp up. It will be delightful.
SPEAKER_00:Does it make a potato chip?
SPEAKER_02:And so I put it in there, and I really didn't know what to expect because you've got mayonnaise in there as well, and it has a lot of liquid. And so I assumed that when I opened it up, it would be just mush. But to my surprise and delight, I opened it up, and it was a waffle. shaped potato patty thing.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, like a
SPEAKER_02:latke kind of. Yeah, yeah, yeah, kind of. And I was very excited. And so I bit into it and the initial taste was good.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_02:It had the crispy, but it also has some of the soft inside. So it's just really good. It was more substantial than a latke and had more texture than latke because of the shape, the irregular shape. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But then the celery seed was a problem. It tasted kind of burnt. But the real issue was the hard-boiled egg bit.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, gross. Oh, gross. See, I do not like egg in my potato salad.
SPEAKER_02:Especially where the hard-boiled egg would happen to be in a place where the indentations were, where the heating element would directly contact it. And so it tasted kind of like a tire off a Matchbox car.
SPEAKER_00:Well, how many Matchbox car tires have you chewed on?
SPEAKER_02:Everyone's a kid. You know, everyone's chewed on Matchbox tires.
SPEAKER_00:I have not. Yeah, my mom used to make two batches of potato salad, one with egg and one without, because I can't do the egg in the potato salad. So
SPEAKER_02:the without would work. It was very good. So that's successful. But the idea is taking the food item as it is without adjusting it, putting it in there and bada bing, bada boom, didn't work for me. So I'd have to pass on that. Even though there are parts of it that was good, I'd have to pass on it.
SPEAKER_00:Does southern potato salad have onion in it?
SPEAKER_02:No, there was no
SPEAKER_00:onion. See, my mom put raw onion and pimento in hers.
SPEAKER_02:Then my second experiment, because I had the potato savory, I wanted dessert. What
SPEAKER_00:was that smell?
SPEAKER_02:So I went and I got a heaping bag full of York peppermint patties.
SPEAKER_00:Are they still here?
SPEAKER_02:They are.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I'm so excited. Aren't
SPEAKER_02:they great?
SPEAKER_00:I love York peppermint patties. They're
SPEAKER_02:my favorite. No, they were so good. They were a treat for me when I was a kid. So good. So I was like, this could possibly only make it better. So I put 12 of them under the heating element. 12? Yeah, because I wanted to make like a waffle. You got on my case the other day because I only put four Oreos in and you're like, well, why didn't you put it together and try to make a big Oreo? And so I wanted to make a big waffle size York peppermint patty.
SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_02:So I opened it up. Did you see what it looked like?
SPEAKER_00:No, I just saw all of the cleaning that happened afterwards. I was convinced that you had bought Thin Mints because that's the smell that I had. But that makes sense now.
SPEAKER_02:I'm going to show you the picture and then I'll post it on what it looked like.
SPEAKER_00:Oh my God, you're never allowed to use the waffle iron again. To
SPEAKER_02:paint the picture, it looks like if any of you have children and if you've had children, this has happened at least once, where you don't put the diaper on correctly or somehow the diaper moves and then the child has a number two and it just coats the inside of the entire onesie.
SPEAKER_00:And you throw the onesie away because there's no coming back from that. Did you throw my waffle iron away?
SPEAKER_02:So I opened this up I said, oh, no, she's going to give me one of those. I'm not mad. I'm just disappointed. But then I looked at it more. I'm like, oh, no, no, no. She's going to be genuinely upset. So I worked really hard. You did. You cleaned for a long time. And so I did. But I will tell you. that I gave myself a rather substantial burn. I don't know if you can see that blister there. Oh,
SPEAKER_00:I can.
SPEAKER_02:So here's the thing. And this leads to the result of these York peppermint patties. It does not work. Clearly. So I guess it's the peppermint part of it. It made it into more of a hot liquid thing. candy, like hot liquid sugar, which is where I got this burn. And then it dried immediately and was just like very chewy, like toffee that you wouldn't want. I was especially offended though when it burned me because I love York peppermint patties so much. And it was like the beloved family dog biting me when I didn't expect it.
SPEAKER_00:So now I have to ask you, is this like vodka for you? Are you over peppermint patties?
SPEAKER_02:Yes. It's just like the beloved family dog who bites me York Peppermint Patty, you are no longer welcome in this house. I'm sorry, we're gonna have to find an unsuspecting family that has zero experience with peppermint-based candies and give you away. And then throw away all the pictures with you and never talk about you again. I'm
SPEAKER_00:just gonna take him to work.
SPEAKER_02:So as a result of this tremendous mess and how long it took me to clean it up, we're probably gonna retire this bit.
SPEAKER_00:Thank you. Or we have the little waffle iron that I was making the cheese chuffles, the chuffles, the cheese waffles with. You can have the little waffle iron to experiment with.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no, this blister is telling me I don't want to do this anymore. But we're going to replace it with our new bit. Yes. Brit Bites.
UNKNOWN:Yes.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, I'm excited about... No. I'm excited about it today, but there's some weird-ass foods in the UK, so I'm only excited today.
SPEAKER_02:So until our friends in the UK start sending us food, please do. Although it's very expensive to send stuff across the sea. But our Publix has a very tiny British section. And so last week I tried, at the behest of my British friends, brown sauce.
SPEAKER_00:Yes, you did. Have we talked about that on the podcast?
SPEAKER_02:I
SPEAKER_00:don't think we did. We have not talked about the brown sauce.
SPEAKER_02:I see a brown sauce and I think Worcestershire sauce.
SPEAKER_00:Right, that's what I think.
SPEAKER_02:But it's more like a fruity thing.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, it's like applesauce with some vinegar. It was
SPEAKER_02:very interesting. I think I could convince myself to like it. but I'd have to work. It was very unusual taste. So that's the thing, but that's not what this bit is about here. I went and I've gotten something called wine gums. Tavener's Great British Sweets wine gums. Now they look on the package like they're gonna be gummies, but I'm excited because it says wine gums. So we're gonna-
SPEAKER_00:I know I'm excited about it. Pop the soap in. Although I've been drinking, I had a gin and tonic, so I can't mix.
SPEAKER_02:So they smell pretty fruity. Smell these, Amanda.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, yeah. Does it tell me that there's alcohol in it? What does the back
SPEAKER_02:say? Well, they're called wine gums.
SPEAKER_00:Right, but I mean, it's like... All right,
SPEAKER_02:what color do you want? We have green, yellow, red, pink.
SPEAKER_00:Well, the gummy, it says what it is on the top of it. Like one said port, and that says something else.
SPEAKER_02:Hawk?
SPEAKER_00:I don't want
SPEAKER_02:hawk. Okay. Gin. Oh,
SPEAKER_00:that's not wine, but give me the gin.
SPEAKER_02:All right, don't eat it yet. We're gonna do this together.
SPEAKER_00:Well, that's exciting, the gin gummy.
SPEAKER_02:This one is port.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, dude, port. I feel about port like you feel about vodka. I had a very bad experience with port. All
SPEAKER_02:right, so you ready? Yeah. One, two,
SPEAKER_00:three. That's just a lemon gummy. You're enjoying it. I like this one, but it's just a lemon gummy. It's not even lime.
SPEAKER_02:This is like blueberry or something.
SPEAKER_00:Come on, Britain. Limes in the gin and tonic, not lemon.
SPEAKER_02:All right, let's see what it says here. Wine gums are chewy, firm.
SPEAKER_00:They are firm.
SPEAKER_02:Sweets similar to gumdrops without the sugar coating. I'd like that. I don't like the sugar coating. Originating from the UK. There is no alcohol. That's upsetting. That is really disappointing.
SPEAKER_00:My friend Katie and I made vodka gummy bears one time. which is just made by soaking gummy bears in vodka for a long time. And then we took them to the movies with us, because I think we were watching like a Step Up movie or something ridiculous. And they get super slimy.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, I'll bet.
SPEAKER_00:I don't think we did it right.
SPEAKER_02:I feel like that's just something that college students do. Oh,
SPEAKER_00:this says Claret. What are the other options? Roja. Oh, that's a red wine. Let me taste it and see if it tastes like red wine. It smells kind of like red wine.
SPEAKER_02:This is compelling listening right now.
SPEAKER_00:It tastes kind of like red wine. Well, I enjoy these. I'll also take these to work.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, good. You can have them. I'm disappointed that there's no alcohol in them.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah. Britton, what's up with that? Why do you make wine gums that aren't really made of wine? Why do you put gin in with wine gums? But without any gin. I don't understand. Oh, I like this one. This Roja is my favorite.
SPEAKER_01:What time is it? Game time!
SPEAKER_02:Alright Amanda, it's game time.
SPEAKER_00:Yay?
SPEAKER_02:The cornerstone of our podcast has turned into game time.
SPEAKER_00:But are you going to make me guess clever word plays?
SPEAKER_02:No, not really. This is a different thing. It's something we like to do sometimes. It is based in Google Translate.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, we haven't done a Google Translate in a while.
SPEAKER_02:So this is going to be Google Translate the movie line.
SPEAKER_00:Are these famous movie lines? I will have known.
SPEAKER_02:These are, you probably know most of them. I'm going to give
SPEAKER_00:you. Probably know most of them. What even is that?
SPEAKER_02:They're pretty iconic. Well, let's get to
SPEAKER_00:them. I mean, no, I'm going to give you the ones that you don't know. You probably know most of them. This
SPEAKER_02:is how we're going to do this. First, I'm just going to give you the line. All right. If you don't get it, I'm going to give you as close to a line read as it appeared in the original movie as I can in character acting.
SPEAKER_00:Love it. Genius.
UNKNOWN:Genius.
SPEAKER_02:And then we'll go from there.
SPEAKER_00:All right, let's go.
SPEAKER_02:All right, so here's the first one. Are you ready?
SPEAKER_00:I am ready.
SPEAKER_02:The woman told me sweet to living goes forward. Then I'm not in mind. You know what?
SPEAKER_00:Life is like a box of chocolates. Is it really? Are you kidding? I was just screwing around.
SPEAKER_02:My mama told me life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. That's very good. I
SPEAKER_00:was really just screwing around.
SPEAKER_02:No, no, no, you're really good at this. Okay, I think that that might have been the hardest one. Okay, ready?
SPEAKER_00:Yes.

SPEAKER_00:You can't handle the truth.
SPEAKER_02:No.
SPEAKER_00:No, I'm just saying famous movie lines.
SPEAKER_02:No, no, try though. I want you
SPEAKER_00:to actually try. I want to request something with refusal.
SPEAKER_02:I want to request something with refusal.
SPEAKER_00:Ask, it's asking something. Is it Star Wars? Is it like... I'm

SPEAKER_00:This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. We'll always have Paris.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, the impression. Okay. I am everywhere in Geneva, and she in the globe. Ooh, that's good. That was a good Humphrey Bogart there.
SPEAKER_00:It is, though, Casablanca?
SPEAKER_02:Yep. But you gotta give me the quote.
SPEAKER_00:Well, okay, so the only... I love Casablanca. It's been a very long time since I've seen it. The only quotes I've got is, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Um... We'll always have Paris. And then of all the gin joints in all the world, she walked into mine.
SPEAKER_02:That's it.
SPEAKER_00:There you go. And did you know that Play It Again Sam is not actually in the movie? Yes, I did know that. It's Play It Sam.
SPEAKER_02:You played it for her. You
SPEAKER_00:can play it for me. Look at you. You're a little bit sexy right now. I like it. Yeah,
SPEAKER_02:you like that? I do. Let's get some of that wine gummies and go to work. That's right.

SPEAKER_00:Okay.
SPEAKER_02:Honest cow, I don't take criticism.
SPEAKER_00:Honest Cow?

SPEAKER_02:Honest Cow. I don't take any criticism.
SPEAKER_00:That sounds just like yourself, by the way.
SPEAKER_02:No, no,
SPEAKER_00:no. Except that you did this little hand thing.
SPEAKER_02:That was a perfect impression. It's an oldie movie.
SPEAKER_00:An oldie movie?
SPEAKER_02:Classic.
SPEAKER_00:And I've seen this oldie movie?
SPEAKER_02:I don't know, but I mean, it's enough in everyone's collective consciousness, and this is the most famous line. This might be the most famous line in all of movies.
SPEAKER_00:In all of movies.
SPEAKER_02:Yes. Honest, Cal, I don't take criticism.
SPEAKER_00:Is that, frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn? Really?
SPEAKER_02:Bam. Frankly, my dear, dear, cow.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, that's ridiculous.
SPEAKER_02:Dude, Google did this, not me. All right, here we go. Someone needed pickles trying to identify me. I raised his heart with beautiful beans and songs.
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, I got nothing.
SPEAKER_02:Try again.
SPEAKER_00:Pickles, cucumbers, trying to identify me. Mm-hmm. Looking for me? Searching for me? What's eating Gilbert Grape?
SPEAKER_02:What?
SPEAKER_00:I don't know. I'm just saying words now. I don't know. All right. I need a line reading, please.
SPEAKER_02:Someone needed pickles trying to identify me. I raised his heart with beautiful beans and songs.
SPEAKER_00:That's scary. and I never want you to do that ever again. It's the thing with the fava bean, the nice Chianta and fava beans, but I don't remember the beginning of it.
SPEAKER_02:A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianta. Yes. Handle lector. There you go. There you go. It's terrifying. It was a good impression though,
SPEAKER_00:right? It was scary and I no longer am finding you sexy like before. Here we go. I'm terrified. Here
SPEAKER_02:we go. You take the power away from it.
SPEAKER_00:These are all famous movies. You can't handle the truth. Okay, line read. The force be with you. May the force be with you.
SPEAKER_02:May the force be with you. Is it really? You're getting all of these. You're so good.
SPEAKER_00:Yes. I wanted to say, and also with you. Like every single time, I can't help it.
SPEAKER_02:Wow.
SPEAKER_00:I know. All right, here we go. You'll get this
SPEAKER_02:one. This one's easy. Go ahead and create my tomorrow.
SPEAKER_00:Just go ahead and go, Jerry.

SPEAKER_02:All right, last line reading. No, I mean last line and then the line reading. My eyes take the cash.
SPEAKER_00:Show me the money.
SPEAKER_02:My eyes take the
SPEAKER_00:cash. Show me the money! It's your best Cuba good in January right there. Oh,
SPEAKER_02:you did so well. I think you got all of these, didn't you? I
SPEAKER_00:think I did.
SPEAKER_02:Except for you got all of the movies. I don't think...
SPEAKER_00:Yeah, no, I think you got all of them. Well, I needed a little bit. I definitely needed your line readings. That is what put it over the edge for me. So thank you. So I think we've
SPEAKER_02:now become a movie podcast. I like it. Which is good. I think there's money in those.
SPEAKER_00:Do you think that 100 Things I Learned From Film would like to sponsor us?
SPEAKER_02:I'll get on asking.
SPEAKER_00:Okay, I've got some wine gums if they want to.
SPEAKER_01:No one likes to be told what to do.
SPEAKER_02:And now is the time in the program where we recommend things for you to do. Amanda, do you have a recommendation? I
SPEAKER_00:have a rec and a non rec. Which one do you want first?
SPEAKER_02:The wreck, I suppose.
SPEAKER_00:If you're local to our area, I am wrecking Halo Donuts. Go do it.
SPEAKER_02:Halo Potato
SPEAKER_00:Donuts. Halo Potato Donuts. So that's going to be my wreck. If you're not in our area, go find you a potato donut somewhere. It's this really great local company. Their food trucks are all over town. It's become my Friday go-to with the kids because I'm able to get them out of the house on time and we get the donuts when we go to school. And even though I was fasting this week, I bought my donut and saved it until I was done of my fast time, but I've discovered that I really like cake donuts better than yeast donuts. Do you have a preference? Do you like yeast donuts?
SPEAKER_02:I don't historically like cake donuts, but I like the way they do them. They're crunchy. Because they're crunchy and crispy on the outside. I've not had a cake donut like that anywhere else.
SPEAKER_00:My favorite is their key lime pie cake donut. So good. So if you're in the area, I'm wrecking Halo potato donuts. If you're not in the area, I'm wrecking go find a potato donut. Yeast cake, whichever, but the cake is my favorite. But the addition of the potato just makes it really moist. So good. So good. So that's my rec. My non-rec is daylight savings time.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, F that mess, man.
SPEAKER_00:I mean, I don't care if we now move forward and this is just the time or if we go back and that's the time, but stop changing my times. People with kids don't appreciate it. Yes, it's lovely that it's daylight longer because I'm looking forward to being able to walk in the evenings once the younger one is in bed. I had many conversations with him about why he had to go to sleep at the time that he had to go to sleep. Seven o'clock, it's daylight outside. So we had to have a conversation. Now he understands more about space and we talk about the sun and seasons and still he doesn't love it. He'll be awake at 3 a.m. I know that he will. So I am non-wrecking daylight savings time. Stop it. It's not fun. No one likes it. Other countries don't have it. We don't need it. Last night, the 15-year-old had gone out to a performing arts thing. Her friends had a dance concert. So she got home late. She got home about midnight. And she told me this morning that she was awake for a while and that she went in to get ready for bed and it was like 1.50. She was taking her makeup off, getting ready for bed, came back to the bedroom and it was 3 o'clock and was very confused for a few minutes about the time suck that had happened to her while she was getting ready for bed. So stop it. No one likes it.
SPEAKER_02:I agree with you, by the way. I have two recs. First is go out, and I don't know if I talked about this before, because this is not the week that this came into my life. This has been in my life for a few weeks. My wife bought me a fuzzy robe, and I love wearing my fuzzy robe. I love wearing my fuzzy robe around the house. I love coming home and immediately changing into my fuzzy robe. He's not joking. I like walking to the mailbox, and we have a community mailbox. This isn't at the end of my drive. Walking down half a block to the community mailbox in my fuzzy robe, looking all All the way like Fred Steptoe, Samford Belsons. I love it. I have it on right now, and I am, even as we speak, rubbing my fuzzy robe. Go get you a fuzzy robe. It's so nice.
SPEAKER_00:Or get you a partner who'll buy you a fuzzy robe.
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, no matter how you get the fuzzy robe. Second recommendation, I recommend the music of my close personal friend, Chris Barron.
SPEAKER_00:Yes.
SPEAKER_02:Okay, well, not my close personal friend at all. You might be familiar with Chris Barron through the Spin Doctors, which love their music.
SPEAKER_00:Big fans.
SPEAKER_02:Big fans. But his solo work that he just came out with an album, well, I guess it's a couple years old now, called Angels and One-Eyed Jugglers, and it is great. It's totally different than anything you would hear on a Spin Doctors album. It kind of has a retro feel on some of the songs. And his lyric writing is great. And it's just very enjoyable, nice vibe. And then the Canoes is a band that he was in with some people from Norway. And in fact, they entered the Eurovision Song Contest as the Canoes.
SPEAKER_00:That's
SPEAKER_02:cool. But they didn't win or anything. But again, a different vibe. There's a lot of cool harmonies in this one. And it has a real like, Harry Nilsson feel to me in some way. And that's a reference for like three people in the world. But anyway, so I recommend that as well. All right, friends, that's all there is. There is no more.
SPEAKER_00:I am going to find where Josh has hidden the peppermint patties.
SPEAKER_02:Oh, no, they're not hidden. They're in the pantry. Or you can have the rest of these not wine gummies. These
SPEAKER_00:alcohol-free wine gummies. No, the problem is the alcohol-free wine gummies. That's fine. No, I want the peppermint patties. All right, everybody. Be nice to each other.
SPEAKER_02:We'll talk to you next week. Bye. Bye. Hey folks, the music that you hear on this podcast is all Wilson originals. So if it's not done by me, then it's done by my son Andrew or my son Daniel. The five-year-old is not quite at the point where he's composing yet. But I just wanted to play something by Andrew here. Please do go check out his work. He's on iTunes and Spotify and all these other places under the initials AJCW. He's got some good stuff in the realm of electronic music. So here's something that he calls CREATA. Enjoy.
