Hello. Hey, what's going on? I'm Clarissa. I'm
Courtney. And this is 30 Dirty and Dying. Your
favorite or soon to be favorite millennial podcast
for millennials by millennials. We're not doing
okay and you probably aren't either. That's just
life. Especially right now. Yeah. Can you believe
it's only like a couple weeks into January and
it feels like the end of the world? Yeah. Well,
who knows? By the time you guys listen to this,
who knows if it will be? I don't know. Real,
real quick. Yep. Who knows? Who knows? And we're
just coping the best way we know how. I feel
like something I end up saying a lot when I talk
about the podcast or when we post things about
the podcast is like, we are literally just...
realizing that most of life is making shit up
as you go. And the points don't matter. They
really don't. It's fine. Like there's this pressure
to have shit figured out and everybody thinks
that 30 is that time where you're going to have
it all figured out. You never will. You don't.
And you never will. That's the thing. It's like
everybody's waiting for that age where we feel
like grownups. I don't think that happens. No.
I just think everybody gave us 30 as this arbitrary
number because it was like... They talk about
how your 20s are supposed to be the best years
of your life. Yeah, mine were not. But then I
realized like maybe these are the best years
of my life, but they're not. It's not what I
thought my 30s would be like. And maybe that's
fine. So we're just having a good ass time. And
that's what the show's about. And we're doing
it together. Hell yeah. Together. Just like,
I don't know, twins. Today we're reliving a millennial
favorite because one of the ways we get through
life is with nostalgia. And we relived a movie.
Didn't we, Courtney? We did. And I just relived
it this morning. Me too. So we are reliving the
parent trap today. And I have thoughts and opinions.
I do too. Mine's more negative, I think. I have
a mixture, I think. I have a pretty good mixture.
So I'm excited to talk about it. I remembered
more of it than I thought I would. Like sometimes
when we do these relivings, I'm like, I was like
rewatching it for the first time. It was not
like that. I remembered almost the entire movie.
Yeah, I remembered a lot. Yeah, and I know I've
rewatched it as an adult. It's been a minute.
I don't think I have. I know I have. Like maybe
as a teen, but definitely not as an adult. I
remember watching it on TV a lot. Like it would
run on ABC Family or like Disney Channel and
I would watch it, you know, almost any time it
was on. So I've seen it quite a few times in
my life. Um, so maybe that's why. But I also
think, you know, it's it is a favorite. Like,
it's one of my favorites. I really like it. So
I remembered more of it than I thought. And I'm
excited to relive it today. But first. Back in
time. All right. So we already went back to 1998
this season a couple episodes ago. So we decided
to go back in time to the birth year of one Lindsay
Lohan. 1986. Yep. Which is just a year before
my sister was born. Oh, wow. Well, starting off,
I actually looked up celebrity births of 1986.
And it was a pretty chock -full fucking year.
A lot of our fave people, millennials, fave people,
Our fellow millennials were born in 1986. Wow.
So, obviously, Lindsay Lohan. Yes. Queen herself.
Yep. Kat Dennings. Leighton Meester. Okay. Yep.
Who's Leighton Meester? She was in Gossip Girl.
I didn't watch it. She was... XOXO. Gossip Girl.
I think her name was Blair. Maybe. Yeah, because
Blake Lively is Blair, correct? No. No. Blake
Lively was in Gossip Girl. Yeah, but it's not
Blair. Oh. Blair was with Chuck. See... I say
that as if I knew. Yeah, what the fuck? I know
more about Gossip Girl than you. I watched The
Soup, and they talked about it a lot, and they
had a whole segment about Chuck and Blair. So,
that's how I know. Gotcha. I know I have to check
that. I'm sorry. Because somebody's married to
Adam Brody. Yeah. Maybe. It is her. Leighton
Meester. She's married to Adam Brody now. What
kind of name is Leighton? I don't know. Meester?
Leighton Meester. No offense, Leighton Meester.
If you're listening to this, I'm sorry. It's
just an interesting name. It doesn't say which
I'm sure it has an interesting backstory. It
doesn't say like her her background on her Wikipedia
page. So I don't know if it's like a. Maybe it's
a family name and I'm just dissing on it. Her
parents were serving time in a federal prison
for involvement in a smuggling drug ring. Jesus.
Wow. Leighton Meester fucks and has from day
one. So cool. So anyways, yeah, Leighton Meester.
Sorry. Megan Fox. Okay. With her weird thumbs.
Yeah. Go off. That's when they came out. Robert
Pattinson. Okay. Edward. Not in 1912. So I saw
this TikTok today. Okay. If Bella Swan never
went to Forks and the Cullens were still in high
school today, like they would. in crowd and,
like, saying the most ridiculous stuff. Well,
I'm sure they're doing that. They said, if I
remember correctly, that what they would do was
every few years they would pick up and leave
and start over as high schoolers somewhere else.
So if you think about it, if they're still -
So Bella's also a high schooler now? And I guess
- With a child? Well, I think - Well, the child
- Going to high school with your child? Rutabaga
is probably also a high school student. Forever.
So, yeah, it's like a family - Go into high school
with your kids. Anyways, other people that were
born in 1986. Yes. Um, Brittany Snow. Remember
in Pitch Perfect, the redhead who nodes? Yes.
She's been in other stuff, but like, that's what
I think of. That's the reference that I would
probably understand. Amanda Bynes. Amanda, Amanda,
Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda,
Amanda show. Lady Gaga. Gaga. Gaga. Why did I,
why did I imagine Lady Gaga? Me too. Than Lindsay
Lohan. I'm not saying, like, anything bad. No,
absolutely not. Everybody looks amazing. I'm
not saying that. I just mean. And Lindsay Lohan
looks real good right now. She's getting it together,
I think. Yes. I'm really proud of her. Me too.
Lily Gladstone. Penn Badgley. Oh. Hey, you. The
new one. The end. The last one is coming. I've
only watched two seasons. Well, it's about to
be over, so. I feel like it should have been
over. A season ago. Two seasons ago. Yep. I'm
so glad it's ending. Like, why couldn't they
have just stopped at, like, the first season?
Like, I feel like that was good enough. Well,
there are more books, so they did try to, which
I only read the first book. I haven't read the
others, so I don't know how close they all are.
Yeah, well, there's only one 13 Reasons Why,
and they decided to keep that going. Wow. 14
Reasons. No, but, like, I think some of the other
seasons were great. I just, I'm done now. I've
been done for a while, so I'm gonna watch it,
but. And then, ooh, Kyla Pratt, the girl who
did the voice for Penny Proud. Oh. Yeah. Heidi
Montag. Josh Peck. Hell yeah, that's a good one.
Oh, the Olsens. Seriously? Yeah, Mary -Kate.
Well, Mary -Kate's on here. Ashley isn't, but
I'm sure she's further down since they're twins.
Why were they together? I don't know. Well, you
know, they're different people. They are different
people, but they were born at the same time.
We're doing a whole thing about twins. Except
for Lindsay Lohan. I thought Lindsay Lohan was
a twin. For years. For a very long time. You
know, there is a conspiracy theory about that.
That she does have a twin? And that that twin
died. Yeah, but like after they finished filming
before it came out. One girl, the other one,
we're not going to talk about her because her
parents were very dead set on. Dead. Dead. What?
All right. So, the world statistics. Population,
4 .378 billion. Wow. It's like almost double
that now, ain't it? Something like that. Seven
bill something. Super Bowl. There we go. Chicago,
New England. The Bears. The Bears. Yeah. World
Series. The New York Mets. And the Boston Red
Sox. No one cares. Okay. Baseball doesn't matter.
Stanley Cup. Let's just do drugs and throw sticks.
That's the entire sport. They have great butts.
I do not fucking care. Stanley Cup. Montreal.
Calgary. So just Canada. NCAA football champion.
Who fucking cares? Penn State. Okay. Way to go.
Tell me basketball. That's the only sport I care
about. Oh, I skipped that specifically because
I don't like basketball. I do. I have to sit
here and listen to you talk about dudes with
sticks in their butts or whatever, and you won't
even tell me about the basketball? I mean, I'm
sure. Houston. Good deal. The Celtics were a
great team at that time. I didn't even know who
they were. Well, you should. You should spend
more time worrying about basketball than butt
sticks. They score too much. It's stupid. That's
the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Can we talk
about how baseball takes 46 hours to play? No,
I don't like baseball either. I just like to
look at their butts. I think it could be cut
in half. Also, I saw this thing. And also hot
dogs. Wieners and butts. You can get a hot dog
at a basketball game. Yeah, but it's too long.
It's too long. It's too back and forth. It's
too many points. Don't talk about, well, you
can eat a hot dog. You can eat five number of...
Hot dogs in a basketball game. I saw a video
the other day, which is what I was going to say
before you made me mad again, of this girl being
like, listen, guys, girls don't like hockey.
They like watching grown men beat the shit out
of each other. That's why your girl likes to
watch hockey with you. I like when they stretch.
Before they fight? Before the game starts. Before
the fight starts. I'd be fine if they didn't
fight at all. I don't think, I've never really
watched hockey. I think the aggression is unnecessary.
Can't we just play a sport and then just... Get
over it. I like fighting. Like, why is football
so aggressive? Like, why isn't it flag football
where you just take a flag out? I can be such
a little bitch sometimes, I swear to God. I love
you so much, but, like, I've ever heard. Why
would you risk your life? Because it's fun to
watch. It's not. I like to watch boxing. I like
to watch UFC. Nope. If you almost get your head
cut off, I'm here for it. I don't want it. I
like it. Justin watched a boxing match one time
together, and he was like, you become a different
person. person. He says that when I watch sports
in general, but especially like violent sports.
He's like, this is insane. You're like a whole
different person. I am. I enjoy it. I get really
into it. Well, that's good for you. Yeah, it's
fun. Would you like to hear about science? Sure.
I mean. All right. So K. Alex Mueller and J.
George Bednorz. Why did my ass just want to go
Mueller, Mueller. Discover superconduct. in a
ceramic material at negative 397 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wow. A higher temperature than ever before. Hey,
Ferris Bueller's Day Off came out in 1986. Oh
my god! I was spooling up my movies to go after.
That's crazy! Yeah. Also, Crocodile Dundee. Nice.
Labyrinth. I never watched it. The Fly. Never
watched it. Got Jeff Goldblum in it. Yeah, what
a man. I hear he just plays himself in everything.
Is that true? He pretty much does. And also for
the first time in a while the other day, I watched
Moses, the Prince of Egypt cartoon. And he's
in it. Oh, really? He plays Moses's brother,
Aaron. And it literally is just Jeff Goldblum.
As a cartoon? Yeah. He's like, oh my God. He's
just very great. Top Gun. Oh, shit. Yep. I like
Top Gun. I don't dislike it. It's fine. And I
like the new Top Gun. My mom really likes it.
Little Shop of Horrors. Never seen it. Little
Shop. Little Shop of Horrors. Bop, shit, bop.
I don't know the rest. Okay. Well, a tornado
outbreak happened in Rhode Island. Ooh, wow.
What the fuck? Yeah. I don't feel like they get
many tornades. Nope. And this article starts
off with, Rhode Island is not known as an extension
of Tornado Alley. Absolutely not. However, during
a 24 -hour period from August 7th... through
the 8th of 1986 three tornadoes struck fuck they
struck fuck an ad popped up i was trying to read
it three tornadoes struck fuck struck rhode island
this is the first time in rhode island's history
to have a multiple tornado day wow have they
i wonder if they've had any big incense because
i like don't recall ever hearing about rhode
island Having tornadoes in my life. So it began
with an F1 tornado, which really isn't that big
of a deal. The wind blew. No way. It touched
down in Cumberland, Rhode Island. Okay. It traveled
a half mile towards the southeast and damaged
trees and power lines. No injuries or fatalities.
Fatality. About an hour later, an F2 tornado.
Okay. Winds speeds up to 113 to 157 is like an
F2. At around 4 .15 p .m., which traveled four
miles from Cranston to Providence on a northeastern
path. The damage from this tornado included a
flip truck, a house removed from its foundation,
a manufacturing building losing its top floor,
the YMCA badly damaged, and 6 ,000 people losing
power. There were 20 injuries during the storm,
most from flying debris. But there were no fatalities.
Then the next morning, F1. The storm traveled
for six miles. Dozens of people were injured.
Caused $2 .5 million in damages, which is equivalent
to about $5 .4 million. Yeah, isn't that pretty
crazy? Yeah, that is. Rhode Island. Killing it.
Do you want to go out with some songs? Yeah,
song me up. All right. Run DMC and Aerosmith
did that collab of Walk This Way. Walk this way.
Talk this way. Hell yeah. Oh, it was 1985. But
Nikita was just an Elton John song that I really,
really like. Kiss by Prince came out in 1986.
It's a great song. I just want your extra time
and your kiss. You know, I never really listen
to Prince. Oh, you should. Prince is one of the
best guitarists ever. Purple Rain. Purple Rain.
I do know that song. I like, um, I think my favorite
Prince song is When Doves Cry. Uh, Papa Don't
Preach by Madonna. Okay. It's about, um, she
gets teen pregnancy. Wow. Yeah, she's like, Papa
don't preach. I know I'm in trouble deep. Something,
something. But I'm keeping my baby. Those are
the lyrics. Or at least a few of them. Manic
Monday by the Bangles. A manic Monday. Oh, Danger
Zone by Kenny Loggins. That makes sense because
of Top Gun. Duh. Highway to the Danger Zone.
I love that song. It's a great song. Everybody
Have Fun Tonight by Wang Chung. Everybody have
fun tonight. Everybody Wang Chung tonight. Thanks

Now, let's get back to the show. Well, so Parent
Trap, a remake. I've never seen the original.
I've never seen the original either. And I have
no fucking desire to, okay? What if it's really
good? I don't, it can't be better than Queen
Lindsay Lohan. Oh no, probably not. I love how
at the opening credits, it's introducing Lindsay
Lohan. I know. Because it was her first movie.
I was like so proud of her. Yeah, way to go.
What, honestly, I don't think if I would have
like. Like, when I was a kid watching it, or
even a little younger, not knowing that was her
first movie, I don't think I would have believed
it was her first movie. She did great. She was
so good. And not just because she played two
people. Well, she did an accent. Yeah. It wasn't
the best. But for a kid? Well, yeah, that's what
I mean. Like, but even just each character was,
like, a fully realized person. Yeah. And I believed
a realized idea. Yep. Um. But, yeah, she. Was
a really good actor. Like, at no point was I
like, this is just a kid reading shit off cue
cards. Yeah, no, she did a good job. Which sometimes
you get, you know, in those, which is fine. People
grow into it. But she really has been a good
actor from day one. Day one. Day one. I want
to say that I was sitting there watching and
wanting, like, I've never been to camp. I've
never been to a camp. I was not in that tax bracket,
ladies and gents. And I was like, man, I wish
I could have been to a camp. You see. I remember
thinking this as a kid, and I thought the same
thing watching it. I remember being like, that
looks fun, I never want to go. I mean, it just,
I don't like to be outside. Never did, never
will. And like, it looks fun, but it looks like
fake fun. I was not in the tack bracket for camp,
and I'm okay with that. And look what happened.
What about Camp Crystal Lake? That's the only
one because I wouldn't have to pay the bill at
the end. Yeah, you're right because you die.
Yeah. Yeah. Anyways, go on. I just, I feel the
same. Yeah, I just, I really, I was sad because
I never got to go to camp. So I was watching
this and I'm like, man. Camp. Yeah. Yeah, I will
say, you know, there are a few scenes and parts
of the movie throughout that have stuck with
me for life. Like, I can remember them, like,
even before re -watching it. And a lot of them
were the camp scenes. Like, the little... I don't
know what you want to call it. Like all the booby
traps they set when they like hate each other
with the whipped cream and the honey. I remember
that vividly and very viscerally. Like, and then
also with the ear piercing. See, I've always
remembered that. I've never, like, and there's
a scene in an episode of The Office later where
Kelly Kapoor is going to pierce Andy Bernard's
ear in the bathroom because they become best
friends. And all I could think about watching
it was the parent trap scene. And then she goes
to do it and he goes, ow, son of a bitch. And
she's like, that was just the ice. I love that.
But yeah, a lot of the camp scenes have stuck
in my head. For many, many years. The isolation
cabin. So I have multiple thoughts on just the
camp in general. So let's start with the camp.
First things first. I'm the realist. Why is someone
from another country going to an American camp?
Yeah. Do they not have camps in Europe? Probably
not. I don't know. But if they don't, why do
you think you should send your kid to one? You
know what I mean? Like, she's also European,
the mom. Right. Where did you get this fucking
idea? Yeah, no idea. Second, they see each other
and they don't think twin. They're just like,
man, we look so much alike. Are you shitting
my dick right now? And no one else? The entire
time before they even realized together that
they... Man, like, this is eerily similar. Okay,
but also... Eerily similar. They do say that
everyone has at least one doppelganger out there
on the other side of the world. But not an exact
copy. That's fucking dumb. They're not exact.
That's what it means. Yes, that they are. Oh,
well. That's what doppelganger means. Oh, well.
But also, that is, again, a bold claim to just
make with absolutely no evidence. Hey, I bet
we are twins separated at birth. Like, I don't
know if that's the first thing that would come
to my mind. It is crazy how much that this storyline
worked on us in the 90s and the early 2000s,
though. Think about it. Mary -Kate and Ashley
Olsen, I'm sure they had at least a few of their
five billion movies that they were separated
at birth. Tia and Tamara from Sister, Sister.
That was the whole thing. Yeah, but see, that
makes more sense because they were adopted. Yeah,
this custody. To be like, you know what? I don't
give a fuck about the other kid. Fucking see
you again. Yeah. And how did they decide which
one was going to go with which? Like, you know
what? I kind of like this one a little better.
I'll take that one. They're identical twins.
And I'm going to say this right now. You can't
tell them apart. Well, no, they couldn't tell
them apart either. Exactly. Also, it's ridiculous
that in the... The parents who made and birthed
them were the last people in the whole fucking
cast to realize something's amiss. But no, it's
just ridiculous. Like, this custody arrangement
is fucking bullshit. I have an easier time, like
you said, believing that sister -sister's plotline.
Yeah, 100%. Because I believe, but this one is
like, we're choosing. Look, I cut off my exes.
They're dead to me. But this is pretty extreme.
Yeah. There's something called co -parent. No,
not there. Not there. Fuck that. But no, they
couldn't have chosen them based on any real qualities
of the children when they were, they were just
flipping coins. Yeah. And another thing that
bothered me. Hit me. The peanut butter. It's
like a known fact that like Europe doesn't have
peanut butter. What? Yeah. I didn't know that.
Yeah. There's like countries that don't have
peanut butter. Is England one of those countries?
I'm pretty sure England is one of those countries.
Let's check. Double check. But I'm pretty sure.
And the fact that the English Lindsay Lohan is
the one that whipped out the peanut butter. But
maybe that's why she said Well, no, she didn't
whip it out. She said, I like to eat them at
home with peanut butter. Yeah, and she whipped
it out. No, she whipped it out. Hallie whipped
it out. Are you sure? Yes, because she got the
Oreos out. I just literally watched it 30 seconds
ago. She got the Oreos out and said, hey, do
you want an Oreo? She's like, yeah, I love Oreos
at home. I eat them with peanut butter. And then
Hallie was like, no fucking way. Because that's
an American thing to say. Maybe the reason that
Annie, the British one, was so embarrassed about.
peanut butter because it's not a weird thing
no it's because there's no peanut butter go together
but because there's no peanut butter over there
in england yeah so maybe that's why she was thinking
it's so weird how'd she get it i don't know her
mom like rich they're rich people this is what
happens when rich people have twins i guess yeah
they can just do whatever they want which is
why they just chose one and kept it do the brits
have peanut butter i spelled it wrong i wrote
peanut butter peanut butter has always been popular
in the uk oh fuck me It's been available since
the 1930s. Oh, well. Maybe other parts of Europe.
You might be right. Maybe. But the UK specifically,
which is where they're living, right? Yeah. So.
Oh, actually, let's take it all the way back
to the intro of the movie. Okay. Where they meet,
where they get married. On the cruise ship. Yeah.
The Queen Elizabeth II. It's in the 80s, right?
86. Is that, are you just saying that because
we went back in time? No, no, no, no. I'm saying,
like, isn't that, like, the date on the. The
picture is like 1986 or something. I don't know.
Let's find out. Wow. Did we have a better reason
to do Back in Time than what we came up with?
Isn't that wild? It just says Southampton. Is
that the new one? Is that because they did a
second picture? They did a second picture when
they got remarried? No, it's the old one. Okay.
I swore it said like 80 something. It might have
been the actual movie. Like, when they show things
in the actual movie. Oh, maybe. But this picture
doesn't have that. But I believe you, sure. But,
okay, so it's in the 80s. It took place, they
got married in the 80s. Probably. And then 11
years later, we're in the 90s. Okay. Why the
fuck did the person that came up to take their
picture had something from, like, the 40s as
the camera? I find that hard to believe. Yeah,
that's crazy. That's the first thing that pissed
me off. Sure. Second thing that pissed me off.
Well, I thought peanut butter, but, you know,
that's fine now. Anyways, keep going. I'm sure
this list is very long. I felt really bad for
that one boy who was like, Mom, answer. I shouldn't
be here. Oh. Well. I felt bad for him. Yeah.
I liked that girl that was so strong and she
was getting everybody's bags. I got a duffel
bag, yeah. Yeah, she's like. Can you get my duffel
bag? Yeah. I liked her. Yeah. And she looked
completely normal. Like, she didn't look like
a Hulk. No. I do like how they were all really
nice to each other. Yeah, it seemed fun. It seemed
like a fun experience. What a fun time. That's
why I wanted to go to camp. It's why I didn't.
I was like, that looks fun. I would not fit in
well. Being nice. Back then, so like, before
I was jaded and hated the world. Yeah, see, I
did from day one. I loved people. I was talkative.
And now I'm just, I was very extroverted back
in the day. You were. And now I'm just like,
I don't want to be near anyone ever. That's the
only reason we're probably friends, because you
were so extroverted, so you talked to me a lot.
And I was like, I do like you, but I'm not going
to talk. And then I finally did. Yeah. But yeah,
I liked the camp scenes. You know the younger
camp counselor? Did you recognize her? She's
Janice from Friends. Oh my god, Chen LeBeng.
Nice. Yeah. I always recognized her from something
and I didn't realize from what. And then I looked
it up while I was watching. Nice. Yep. Nice,
nice. Nice, nice. But yeah, so the camp. One
thing that did piss me off. The isolation cabin.
Yeah. This is how you deal with... Fuck you kids!
You put them in the woods alone? Yeah, you put
them in the woods alone. And leave them there
to die. This is Lord of the Flies shit. What
are you talking about? This is what you do. That
just made no sense. Like when she said pack your
bags, it would make sense if they were sending
them home. Yeah, that's what I first thought.
Yeah, and then they're like, no, we're gonna
all together march you out in the woods and shame
you, and then let you watch all the other kids
go leave. And have fun without you. And you have
to stay here, and I don't care if you fucking
die. That's basically what that whole thing seemed
like. But yeah, so camp, good stuff, bad stuff,
good mixture. I want to talk about their foolproof
plan to switch lives. I mean, it worked, didn't
it? On their parents, who were fucking idiots,
clearly, but on literally no one else. I mean,
it worked for their grandfather for a little
while. I don't think that I actually... You don't
think so? No, because when I was watching it,
I was... You think he realized right away? I
think so. Like, pretty quickly. Maybe not, like,
first, second, but kind of like how Chessie,
the nanny... Which is not Jesse. No, it's Chessie.
It's Chessie. Who is my favorite character in
the whole fucking thing, by the way. she realized
kind of immediately, like, something is off.
Because the dog. Well, and just in general. She
was just like, what? This isn't right. Not just
like, why are you talking so weird? Uh -uh. Like
the dad. Which he didn't catch on at all. No,
he said a few things in the car, like, wow, you're
saying different stuff, and why are you talking
like that? Yeah, you're saying dad a lot. Why
are you saying dad? Well, because I miss you
for eight weeks. Duh, dad. Yeah, and he was like,
oh, okay. But no, so, like, the parents didn't
even get it. But I think, because when I was
watching it, I was remembering who figured it
out first. And the grandfather is obviously the
one who figured it out first over... Over yonder.
Yeah, over yonder. And... Chessie. Chessie over
here. But I wanted to see if I... Like, I tried
to really watch the grandfather's mannerisms
to see when he got it. Because Chessie was so
obvious to me that she got it from, like, day
one. I think he really suspected very early.
I do not think he just came up with it at the
last second. I think he kind of always knew.
Gotcha. Which is crazy. That the mother did.
I can almost see the father because I have so
little faith in fathers in general. Yeah. But,
like, they came out of you. They came out of
you. She obviously didn't care who she picked.
I suppose that's correct. Yeah, she was okay
with just, because she was just so willing to
be like, yeah, take one. Okay. I don't know.
I just feel like, you know, if I, if my dad walked
away with a different kid in the store one day,
I don't think he would have noticed for six weeks.
If my mom did. Yeah, but he was probably drunk,
so. Well, exactly. Okay. The guy owns a vineyard.
Come on. You think he's not hitting the sauce?
But, like. If my mom, if I was like, I used to
be able to go in my mom's room and wake her up
like if I had a nightmare or something. And I
didn't even try to wake her up. I just stood
next to the bed like a fucking horror film. And
she would wake up every time like, what's wrong?
Like she knew I was there. That's how I am with
Cheeto. It's the same. But yeah, I just have
a really hard time believing that at least the
mom wouldn't be like, you're not the one that
I raised. Yeah, you're the other one. I gave
you away. Why are you here? Thanks for listening
to 30 Dirty and Dying, the show for millennials
by millennials. We get real about chronic illness,
burnout, nostalgia, and why we aren't exactly
thriving. If that sounds like you, join us every
Thursday for new episodes. Now, back to the show.
Let's talk about our favorite characters and
what we feel about each character. You go first.
My favorite characters are Chessie LeBeller.
Hell yeah. And I love that they got together.
I loved her outfits every single day. The denim?
Ugh! Oh, my God. She's amazing. Love her. That
scene, I tried to remember if I could do the
entire monologue where she's like, I'm not looking
at her in any special way. It's how I look at
her every day. So she came over from the hospital.
I love that part. I used to know the whole thing.
I could not remember. I got the first line out
in the last part. Can I hug her? It did make
me really want chili, though. I hate chili. Those
chocolate chip pancakes. Every time I see those
chocolate chip pancakes, I'm like, fuck, yeah.
I could go for a pancake. I think Chessie's my
favorite character. Yeah, 100%. And I do, I like
the dog. I was gonna say that's my least favorite
character. I love the dog. Sniffing out a trickster.
Yeah. And then I like Grandfather. I also, if
I'm picking between the parents, I really love
the mom. Yeah. Even though she's dumb dumb. For
the kid thing. Everything else I love her. Like
her having an absolute panic attack. Getting
drunk. Everything about it is great. I just love
the scene where she's just like passed out on
the bar. Yeah. Like she's just like laying down
on the bar and then she's just like, I think
I just drank tall. And then just burped. Yeah,
I love it. She's very relatable while also seeming
like a real proper British lady. Yeah. Like I
admire her and also feel like I could be her.
And that's pretty good. Yeah. You know, I heard
the saddest thing. What? Because, you know, the
actress, Natasha Richardson is her name. She's
passed away. When? Several years ago. Oh, shit.
She was married to Liam Neeson. Oh, shit. They
were married for a long time. No way. They were,
like, big love story energy. Like, I think that's
the reason he started doing all these movies.
And I think he said it in an interview, like,
any movie. Because he used to kind of be a little
more discerning in what he did. And he's, like,
he's not remarried. He's not anything. I think
he was so fucking sad and lonely that she died.
It was an accident. Like a skiing accident or
something. He's, like, just trying to keep busy.
That would be so sad. I know. But so they had
kids. And her son, I guess, said in an interview
once that anytime he really misses his mom, he
watches The Parent Trap. Because it's like the
most, it was really a lot like her as a mom.
I'm going to find the interview. I'm sorry. That's
so sad. I'm about to start my period. Don't put
me in this emotion. When he really does feel
sad, he goes back and watches her movies. And
he previously told people that his favorite movie.
was the 1998 film The Parent Trap because I see
so much of her as that person. I was lucky, too,
because she passed away. I can still watch her
and see how she worked. And it's a great thing
that we have. And I watch her movies, but there's
still a lot I need to watch. But he talked about
how much that that character was like watching
his mom just be his mom. And that's how he remembers
her. I have nothing to remember my mom except
for alcohol. I've got some beers downstairs.
Sad. Oh, my God. I can't believe she's dead.
Yeah, she was like a skiing accident. Man, you
gotta be careful with skiing. I mean, skiing
is not safe. No. Again, out of my tax bracket.
Anyways, pear trap. Pear trap! Let's get back
to it. Um, a couple other things that I really
remember, by the way, just saying. How they fucked
with her when they were camping. Loved it. Yeah.
The lizard. The lizard. The lizard is a - What?
She's such a little - Brat. So, like, I understand
that she wasn't a good person, and we get that
later, and she wanted to, like, send the kid
away. Honestly, the thing for me that was like,
yeah, you know what, fuck Meredith Blake, was
when she brought that bell out. Bitch! Yeah.
And the fact that he didn't say anything? Yeah,
what the fuck is wrong with you? If I was Chessie,
I'd be like, who the fuck do you think you are?
Honestly, Nick Parker is the villain. I'm saying
it right now. He's the villain that we didn't
know we had. The Nicky! Yeah. But she's not the
villain. Why are you letting this happen in your
fucking life to people that you care about? Right.
Just for some young ass. Yep. One thing, but
to be so manipulated and not give a shit about
the people in your life. Yeah, I hate it. But
yeah, he's the problem. But like at the beginning
when she's trying to be nice to the kid, obviously
it's fake. But I was like, this is not that bad.
Like these kids just deciding that they're going
to sabotage her is fucking ridiculous. But then
when she brought that bell out, I was like. You
know what? I forgot. You suck. Oh, even before
that, when she was in the golf cart. Yeah, but
like, I understand she just said, but she wasn't
doing anything yet. You know what I mean? It
was just words. Words are enough. They can be,
but she was also saying just as many words that
were nice and fine and okay. So I was like, I
don't know, maybe she's just saying shit. But
when she brought that bell out, I was done. And
in a box? Yeah. She purposely went and bought
like a special belt? Yeah. Fuck you. No, then
I was like, yeah, let's fuck her up. Yeah. I'm
okay with this now. Put her in the water. Yeah.
Get an iguana, put it in her mouth. And the fact
that she really thought - That was not an iguana.
It was way too small. It was just a lizard. It
was like a gecko. Well, an iguana is a lizard.
You're right. It was like maybe a gecko or something.
Yeah. Geico. Yep. She got good insurance, though,
so maybe it's all worth it. Maybe. Maybe. Um,
what was I saying? Oh, and how she just thought,
like, getting out of the water, literally kicking
the pot in the fireplace, that she really thought
that this guy was gonna choose her over his children.
Yeah, that's where I'm like, but no, like, but
I will say, honestly, I can understand a little
bit why she thought he might, considering his
past behavior, and how she was just letting,
how he was just letting her walk all over the
people in his life. Right. So... I'm not, he
was a fucking problem here. He had more responsibility
to not allow this to happen and not have someone
mistreat literally everyone in his life. So,
fuck you, Nick Parker, and your stupid wine.
I bet it gives me headaches. I don't like wine.
I don't love it that much anymore. I used to
pretend I was classy. Now I don't. I did think
it was interesting that the mom gave her a sip
of wine. Like, she's 11. One of the scenes, though,
speaking of their jobs, the wedding dress photo
shoot with the top hat, the way I thought that
that was... High fashion. Peak. I was like, if
I get married, I'm wearing a fucking top hat
when I was like 11 watching it. I'm never getting
married, but I challenge any one of you who will
get married, please top hat and send us pics.
It was great. I love that scene, that montage
with the photo shoot. That was... She was so
proud of her mom. Like, wow, I love my mom so
much, even though she got rid of me. It's complicated.
She just gave me away. No second thoughts. We
all know that our love for our parents can be
complicated. So anyways, are we happy that they
end up back together? Yeah, just, you know, for
the kids. Yeah, when it seems like they really
did never stop loving each other. Which is, I
kind of wish I understood why they broke up.
Well, I think if I remember, because I didn't
get to this part in my rewatch, but if I remember
their little heart -to -heart correctly, it was
that she wanted to leave and go back and have
her career, and he wanted to have his. And they
were young, and they were about to be very successful,
and they couldn't quite make the love they had
for each other and their own ambitions mesh.
Which is fine, I think. It happens. Yeah, it
happens. And she walked out. And they just luckily
had twins. Yeah. But she was like, she walked
out and she wanted him to come after her. And
he didn't come after her. Nope. Which, you know,
happens. I always sing the L is for the way you
look at me. See, I think of Little Rascals. Really?
I don't. No. I always think of that song. And
I sing it a lot thinking of the Of the montage.
But I also become suddenly just don't say the
right letters. No, I'll say the letter. I'll
be like, oh, and then I'll say another lyric
that's for another letter. And I just keep doing
that for like 45 minutes until I realize I've
done fucked up a lot. Just like that marriage.
Yep. But I bet you like that they ended up on
a boat. I love boats. We love boats. Boats and
hoes. Boats and hoes. Man, that ain't the movie.
That's the movie. Yeah. Yep. Got my swimming
trunks. I would have watched it. I would have
watched the spinoff with Chessie and... What's
his name? Wait, there's a spinoff? I would have,
I said. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Chessie and the
butler. Yeah, but what's his name? I forget his
name. I'm not really good with names. Fuck. No,
it wasn't fuck. No. I mean, I hope they fuck.
I bet it was great. Oh, yes. Leather? And the
denim? Denim, denim, denim. Martin. Martin. Martin.
I just love how she was like, uh, you're like
a brother and I want you to come just like to
keep company. Yeah. And I was like, I love that
so much. Yeah. He's like, well, if I was saying
my ex and I had your legs and I love that, I
love everything about it. Yep. So, you know,
I think overall, great rewatch, great movie,
really enjoyed it. If I have a kid. I didn't
hate it. No. If I have a kid, we're watching
it. You know? It's a great time. I think it holds
up. I think it does. We always say it holds up,
and I think it does, right? Yeah. I mean, there's
some plot holes. But any movie, any kid -ish
movie is going to have that. But I think overall
it holds up, and the vibes are there. Vibes are
there, and Lindsay Lohan, great actress from
the jump. Absolutely. No wonder she got the role.
And to play two characters. Yeah. Great. So shout
out, Lindsay. I'm glad you're doing so great.
If you're listening to this, I love you. You
can be on our podcast. Any fucking time you want.
Okay, I'm such a big fan. I recently watched
your Christmas movie on Netflix. I actually enjoyed
it. We watched it together. Yeah. Yeah, we did.
You know what I listened to for the first time
the other day? Her album that she came out with
holds up. She's so talented. Everything about
her is great. Honestly, this is a Lindsay Lohan
appreciation episode. Shout out, Lindsay. We
appreciate you. Yep. Lohan. Lindsay. Well, I
guess we're gonna jump on the QE2 and sail on
out of this bitch. Thanks for listening, guys.
Sail away, sail away, sail away. This will be
an everlasting love if you remember to rate and
comment and subscribe and all that good shit.
And tell us what you want us to relive next.
Another movie? A show? We got a whole season
coming at you, ladies, gents, and non -binary
friends, so we're ready to do it. Yep. I was
trying to think of something fun to say and I
got nothing. One of my favorite lines from the
movie that I recall after watching it was, the
whole enchilada. She says the whole enchilada.
The whole enchilada. The whole enchilada. Stop,
stop, stop. You're going to take someone's eye
out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. Do you
want to see? We're going to go. I'm really sorry
to anyone listening in England. Apologies. Oh,
yeah. I'm very American and I'm so upset. See
you next time. Bye. Come back in here. I'm sorry.
