Speaker 1: On the Bell Cast. The questions asked if movies have women in um, are all their discussions just boyfriends and husbands? What do they have? Individualism, the patriarchy ze and best start changing it with the Betel Cast. Hi, and welcome to the Bechdel Cast. My name is Caitlin and we are recording an intro for an episode that we did live. We did a live episode for the Women in Comedy Festival in Boston, Massachusetts at Improv Boston. It was so much fun. This happened in late April. We had a great time. It was our first live episode, which brings us to why we're recording the intro in Los Angeles. Well, the audio quality turned out to be not super great, So which are bad? We didn't check stuff and we you know, we're learning. I would like to blame the patriarchy we're learning, I would. Yeah. I'm triggered. Yeah, as always I'm triggered, never not triggered, right acast great? Sure, Yeah, So recording this little intro, We're gonna do some stuff at the top, like reintroduce our guests and things like that. But yeah, we apologize for the audio quality being not super great. Fortunately, the best audio quality that came out of it, which shout out to Caitlin for sifting through all the audio of us yelling, but our guests audio came out pretty well, and so most of her sage points remain intact. Indeed, also shout out to our producer Aristotle for always giving us great audio quality. We didn't know how good we had it until he was gone, So true, that's how it always is. But thank you to the Women in Comedy Festival for letting us do it. Thank you to Improv Boston for having us, and thank you to our guest Emily Riskowski, who is a good friend of both of ours. She is a comic Boston. She's so funny. She's spent on two dub Queens. She does shows all around the city. She's originally out of DC. She's just she's a goddess. She's the best. We're so happy we had. She brought us the movie Dirty Dancing. And also we and I know we always say we're gonna put it in the description, but we have a great picture of the three of us for this one. She brought us Dirty Dancing, and she dressed as Patrick Swayze. She dressed in all black CAUs played as Johnny Castle. It was unbelievable, and she came out to the stage. We called her up in the stage. We had no idea this was happening. Came out to the stage carrying a watermelon, which is a reference a movie. Yeah, she was doing Baby and Johnny Castle at the same time. She's that good. She's that good. We have to do a little bit more of the I have to start with the recap. The live episode picks up when I'm like in the middle of the famous Okay cap. It's so funny, Like we sound like garbage in the recording, like pretty universally because we're always like and our guests were very cool, very composed. Mostly I think I'm like talked about Jerry Orbach in this episode. So you didn't miss anything, you can confirm. Yeah. So Dirty Dancing is a story about a character named Baby played by Jennifer Gray. She and her rich family go to a rich people camp. Jerry Orbach is her father. They go to this summer camp to learn about how to dance and how to wear wigs and other things. Yeah, wigs outside, that's offensive, wigs outside, wigs but like outside, Yeah, I love it. Sold she's like, oh, I wanna. I want to hang out with these cool people. They seem to be dancing. So there's a six sex Yes, the sexy poor. This is a new this is it doesn't exist in the real world, but it's prevalent in this camp. Fuckable poor. I'm glad you brought it up because it's it's an important thing that we do address. So she's like, who are these people who are dancing? All cool and they're hot and they're poor because they're like the work staff. They're the teachers who teach the dance class and the white stuff, all this stuff. She's like, I want to get in with this group. And the main one, the coolest one, is the king of the hot pores. His name is Johnny Castle Baby, and he has a friend named Penny. And Penny finds herself in a situation where she is pregnant and she does not want to be because she got pregnant by this character named Robbie who was a piece of ship, not sexy or poor. Hey hey, So Baby's like, I want to help. I'm gonna help with this. She's like, here, I'm gonna get some money for you. The thing is, though, there's a oh, the traveling abortion is he's like a carnival guy. He comes around, he tours nuns up, He's like Bruce Springsteen. He comes to your town every so often and it gives you an abortion. Is he good at abortions? No? But he is the amazing Traveling Abortionists. But there's also some very interesting context for that that we'll get into, which made me feel bad for, you know, saying what I just did, which is the traveling Abortionists in a fun way, and then an audience, remember, gave us some incredible context and now we can share it. But I also got to do the thing. Yes, So so the thing is Johnny and his like dancing partner Penny have this gig that they have to do on a Thursday. But oh no, that's the only day that the Traveling Abortionists comes to town. Crazy plot hole. So Penny goes off and gets her traveling abortion. Meanwhile, Baby, they're like, well, someone suggests as a joke, like what if you dance in her place? What if you learn these dances? Baby? And she's like a counsels like, no freaking way, I'm king poor, I don't know dance with baby rich. But then it ends up happening anyway because she's like, I'm going to prove myself. And then they start training. There's a bunch of training montages and then this is pretty much where yes, that's the longest training montage every all butts, so many butts, equal opportunity to male female. We're looking at a lot of butts. Love it, love it. Very horny movie too, but no depth, no horny. Depth is now unfortunately horny. Not a lot of depth, pretty surface horny. So that's where we kind of pick up on the live episodes, so we will transition into that. Please enjoy, Emily Riskowski, you kind of dodged a bullet with all the your Box Talk which is my new podcast, check it out or rock Talk. Yeah, enjoy, enjoy. Then what happens surprised? The traveling abortion is not too good? No, not too good. He he he messes it up. We're not told exactly how, and that's probably for the bass, but it's like real bad. So how they get to do the abortion is because baby went to her dad and asked for the money. He lied to Jerry O. She lied to Jerry or box one. Let's just take a moment. What do you ever seen one or get You don't why the Jerry or Back can get away in it? Well? Yeah, so so yeah, she lies to her dad about because he asked if it's illegal, and he is daddy. She gets his to She calls him daddy the whole movie, So there's that, but she al says Terry Orbank, so it's like he's everyone's Daddy's every America's daddy. He's your daddy. So Jerry or Back winds up paying for this abortion and then he goes and finds out what his money was for, and he freaks out and he, like everyone else, assumes that Johnny's the one who got Penny pregnant. I see why Jerry Orback was upset. No one communicates with him, no one gives it to him straight. And if you've seen him in line where he needs you to give it to him straight, he's like, I couldn't know when I'm wrong. Yeah, he band's baby from like hanging out with him. So what does she do. She starts having sex with Johnny Castle like immediately like that. The Carmine is also weird in this movie because it's like we're here at the beginning of the summer. They're training the waiters. The dance stuff just got here. But also Penny's already pregnant by Robbie, So like when did that happen? A whole summer passes. I would like to pay check a little bit to the scene with the watermelon where Baby meets Billy, who I love. Billy is Johnny Castle's cousin. We assume his names Billy Castle, but we don't know for sure. But Billy needs a sweetheart and doesn't find love. Uh, he doesn't deserve it because he's shorter than Johnny according to God to nineteen sixties lodgeing, since he's either he is unsuckable. Uh, but you know, he's also attended like the rest of hell. He's a working class babe. Like that. There's a whole camp. It's like like weird looking which people and very hot port people, which is which is great. That's how I would like the whole world to be. But so Billy says like, hey, I got these watermelons. It's more articulate. I want to bring him into the basement with me where everyone's fuck dancing, And then she sees Johnny Castle and Penny dancing together, very sexually. They're the best at fuck dancing and everyone knows it. And then there's this moment where Baby asks Billy Castle or aren't they together? And he's like, no, they were together when they were kids, but not anymore. Immediately cut to a shot of what looks like Patrick Swayzy, like going down on Penny while holding her six ft in the air, and Lan is and and Baby isn't like, are you sure? Sus like there might be something there? How old is Patrick Spazy in this movie? Oh? We telled all very mus he's sucking a teenager? Or is it cute? Maybe he's supposed to be like eighteen? Rights, probably he's actually thirty. He looks much older than her. Yeah, I couldn't get hold he was supposed to be, which again, because I want to be on Jerry or box side at every point in this movie. Again, I'm just like, you know what, if a man of indeterminable age who I had already known was a JIGGERO was pursuing my daughter, I too would be like, hey, maybe not, you know so what also we're so it all kind of culminates right there, fucking everything's great, And then while it's start getting stolen and they suspect that it is Johnny Castle. Baby comes rod, she's like, we were together. He gets fired again. Is it better to have stolen a wallet or had sex a teenager? You know? Again? We eat that angel to my mother like there's no winning friend. And then at the end, Johnny comes back and he's like, I have a speech to give and he gives it. It gives that speech, and then before that he grabs Baby and he says the famous line from the movie Nobody puts Baby in a corner, and then he yanks her out of the corner, which can exactly is it like literally, because she's like sitting in a corner. She's literally in a corner. And he's like that's not okay, And no one's like why we just They're like, you're right and right, there's a figurative corner. Is a literal corner? What does he mean? I never understood this quote. She seemed to be moved by it. I was openly crying. I love the scene where Baby basically says, Okay, I've been sucking the beefcake and Jerry roback and she's like, but you suck too, and then Jerry about cries and you're just like, oh, he's so raw. Uh that or the aftermath is that kind of bothered me because then, uh, first of all, Johnny has given like the big climactic speech at the end. Baby isn't even though she's the main character. You think she would have this like cathartic moment to be like, I'm tired of well when I'm putting me in the corner figuratively right as you will. She has a speech she could give, we just never hear it, or she's gonna say dad, not like to everybody in a big way, right, And there was I mean, and again, it's like, I never wanted to sound like we're cutting a movie slack when they're not doing the right thing and they're not doing right by their female characters. But this movie does take place in nineteen sixty three, which sort of shifts the context a little bit. The more I thought about certain scenes where in ninete, I mean to me, it was kind of impressive that parents were so on board with both of their daughters going to college and like really making careers for themselves, and and and and But then on on the other hand, that they are actually trying to Harry them off. But but I don't know, and I I mean, we weren't. We weren't around O carry I'm four years old, but I I don't know. Putting it in context of the time it was supposed to take place, even though it takes place in the sixties, it feels a very seven movie. Like all the hair, any outfits are that they're like besie and carry me not dead yet, So you're like, Okay, you know, I'm telling you President Kennedy is not dead yet, so you can be like, I mean, I can enjoy this now. It was a simple time. It's important actually, So I think the female characters in this movie are great, Like I think they're really I think Yanny is awesome. I think they like the main character is named after Francis Perkins, first woman in the Cabinet FDRs Labor secretary, Like that's our main character. But then again they call her baby like so the parts that you're like, I like that. A lot of times Hollywood films, we'll be like, oh, character is pregnant, Well, she's only got one option and that's to have the baby. And the way the abortion is approached in this movie is and it's not made out to be the issue that a movie in nineteen sixty three or eighty seven could have made it out to be as this big like is it ethical to do it? Like baby is immediately like, oh, we've gotta get you money to get this abortion. And then when Penny finds out, you know, like there's a moment of back and forth, But the only reason there's a back and forth or whether they she'll do it or not is because her whole year's salary runs on one dance gig has nothing to do with the ethics of abortion. And I was, I mean, I hadn't seen this movie in like ten years, and I will surprised that it will dealt with that maturely of like that didn't become a focal point of it. Well, even when her dad is criticizing what happened, it's not like there's no big abortion is wrong, but you just like you're hanging around with unsavory people, primarily the guys. Because he doesn't seem to be judgmental whatsoever towards Penny, and that he helps her. He comes to check on her the next day. He cares for her in a very kind way, but he thinks these guys, like he's like, these are unsavory people, and that's what she has the conversation when she says you let me down to that's sort of what she's talking about is you taught me to help people into care and you judged them without knowing them. So that's where and I like that too. Again, there wasn't this big like moral issue around the abortion. It was this is something. This is their reality that Robbie has completely removed himself from and that Penny now has to deal with. Baby is gonna come and help her and Baby sense his judgment on behalf of her add who helped very much in Safe Paint. But she's angry with him that he's looking down on people, and she's like, you taught me not to be that person. You can't be that person either. And Jerry knows when he's wrong. He does, he admits it. He said he's wrong, he says he's wrong, but he doesn't apologize to Baby then, and only does he Uh. The only time he like changes his mind about the whole thing is when was the name Robbie is like, oh, thanks for helping out with the Penny thing. Uh, I was the one who it's only at that point whenever Jerry's like, oh, well, if this rich boy is telling me that what really happened, that's and I believe it. Well, that's another tricky thing too, because it's like it is his teenage daughter who he seems to trust throughout the movie until he finds out that she has lied to him, And it's like, I don't know. I mean, if you're a parent and you find out your kid has lied to you about one big thing, it's hard to be like, well, but probably everything else is the truth because I don't I mean, teenagers are big, dry liars, so I don't know, Like I could see that both ways. Even when he said who's responsible for this girl? Like Penny's grown woman? But I think he in the context of when it was supposed to take place, he saw this woman who was left because he said, you got her in trouble, Like you left this woman to deal with this by herself, You sent her to this butcher. He's at the same time get that nineteen sixty three mentality of like, you take care of women and women can't really take care of themselves. But he also encourages his daughters to be more than that because Robbie tells him accidentally, he believes rob because Robbie tells Robbie didn't mean to tell him, because Robbie was like, I thought you knew, because he's like, hey, thanks for dealing with it, and he I think, in that moment, had that realization. Robbie thinks he and Dr Housman are the same. Robbie thinks they're in this like old boys club, like, hey, thanks for taking care of that. And Dr Housman is kind of yanked out of that, and it's like, this guy is the piece of ship, not the guy I thought, but everybody assumed. As far as I think that his character is doing pretty well given the era he is we're to believe he's living in, and it's like, it's definitely not perfect, and there is. I mean, I wouldn't say that he considers men and women to be completely equal. It's pretty clearly that that is not the case for him. But but as far as nineteen sixty three, dealing with a teenage daughter who's clearly intelligent and you know, fucking up as any teenager would, but I never stake as a teenager have been having sex with Patrick Swayze and seeking like there's so there's a conflict between Swayzey and Albak, which, first of all unhooked. The whole reason that that problem arises is because when Jerry Oba comes to see what's going on after Penny's traveling abortionist thing doesn't goal well. But when he he goes to try to patch that situation up, he asked, yeah, like, who's responsible for this girl, which is a vague question, and Patrick Sprayzy says me because he's her best friend and sort of views himself as the one who looks out for her, and had Patrick saysy at any point just said that was what I meant when I said that we could have saved an hour of conflict between the two of them. I think one of the themes of the movie is integrity and who hasn't who doesn't And he sees robbed like you very clearly the villain is the guy with no integrity who reads yeah, exactly right, the guy with no integrity. And then the working class people that everyone's looking down are the ones that have the integrity, like and part of the reason they didn't tell everybody that it's Robbie is because it's Penny's private information, and she didn't want anybody to know, so they didn't tell anybody, even though it would have been so much easier. That's why when Baby is encouraging he said to stay away from Robbie and not have sex with him, she doesn't say he knocked somebody up, because it's Penny's business. And if Penny doesn't want anybody to know, nobody has a right to tell anybody, even if it would make everything so much easier. And that's why, like there's this big sense of like right and wrong, they never wrap abortion into that and be like abortion is wrong. So I thought that was a great It's a movie that deals with right and wrong and morality that doesn't put that judgment on abortion, to which I thought was really interested. Were in such an easy choice to make. And another thing about the very sexy poor that we have in this movie is that they, unlike the you know, looking rich, with the exception of Jerry Roback, is that the very sexy poor all have a lot of respect for each other and and treat each other way more fairly than the upper echelon people do, where Patrick Swayzy and Penny, and even even though I'm like, what is I get? Like, there's a lot of positive male female friendships, but he is almost evening her pill see like seven different times in this movie, and it's like both friends. I was like, Okay, I like that they did that. I agree with that, but I like that they did that, that her character exists not as anyone's romantic interest, Like there's a female character who's not the main character who exists in these like she forms this bond with Baby where they're clearly women who have nothing in common at the beginning, and Baby when Baby comes up to her and says, I envy you. And Penny had just watched Robbie hitting on Lisa. She's pregnant, she got kicked out of her house at sixteen, and she like her life is a ship show. And this doctor's daughter, rich girl who's at a summer resort is saying, I envy you. Like that's where they start, and I think they come so far as to this place of like mutual respect for one another. And I also like that when Johnny gives his speech at the end, I don't think anybody mentions Baby's appearance in the movie like at all, Like Johnny never says, you look like He's like, this is why I love her. He doesn't, You're so beautiful. He like, she has integrity, and she's smart, and she's brave, and she helps people and she inspires me to be a better person because she's such a good person. Oh, I wanted to talk about the scene. One of those scenes that does pass the BECTO test is between Baby and Penny on the Thursday, which is the only day to traveling abortionists can come. Uh and and it's also when when Baby is about to do the one show that everyone's income depends on. They have this scene together that's that I thought was really nice to a certain point where Penny is helping Baby get ready and they're talking about dancing and Baby is nervous, and then Penny the scene andy Penny saying I'm scared to get an abortion, which apparently she should be this traveling abortion this is not very good. But before that she says a Penny like, I just want you to know I don't really ape around, And I thought that Robbie really loved me. And that doesn't seem like super necessary to bring into it, because like it doesn't super matter, which is kind of nit picky, But then again that might also just speak to the relationship between these characters where Penny probably feels like Richard people judge her and assume that she would be like the type to sleep around or however that's PERCEI what kind of goes back to like the slat shaminess that exists in this movie where it's like, I don't want you to think I'm split opposite for me, I go and then saying, hey, one I didn't say anymore. I don't like to be fair. That's same we like the sexy porter. Do you have a fear of being start shammed across the board? Because then there is that weird seen in Swazies Cabin, which is a book I would like to write. There's a scene in Slazy's cabin after he and uh he and Baby have had sex I hope with pretention who knows, but Baby is like, you know, teasing him, and it's like, how many women have you been with because and honestly, I'm like, I want to know. We don't know how old you are, and like maybe a ballpark figure will be helpful, But Slayzy starts talking about something we are you know, which is that he's low ki at Jiggio, but then totally disclaims that. But basically he has this weird speech where he's like, but you understand. You come here and suddenly there's all these women and they're just they're throwing themselves that you will. They're putting their key cards in your pockets and you show up and you think they love you. It's like, spazy, no, you don't. We don't think someone slips their key card in your back pocket a known married person, and it's like, slazy, come over because I love you like and and so you know it's implied. Yeah, so you know sees he's had sex with however many people we've done know how old he is. But he implies that every time he's had sex is because he thought he was in love and then he got stiffed. In his defense and defense is that's not in his defense because there's a moment when also in that conversation he's like, oh, they're shoving diamonds in your pocket and I was around from Titanic. You show you love someone like giving them a diamond. Right, that's true because caled In Hockley protagonist, he's also super poor, right, so all the kids that they're super poor, when he's like he's candy to stay a lot and he's like to stay alive, and then he goes there and women are just giving him all this. I think anybody in that situation, like he's super overwhelmed by like like, during the year, I'm flat broke, can barely survive, and then all summer it's sex and money all over the place. I think it's a weird. And I also think I think that the scene in the locker room with Penny and Baby, I liked that they did that the Penny because before that a lot of her interactions you don't know shit about me, and like she very quickly dismisses Baby, and then you see her vulnerability when she's like she's ashamed of herself because people have always treated her like that. And I think that's where you see who Baby really is, because Penny's expecting to be sleut shamed and that's why she says it, because she's expecting Baby to judge her, and at no point is she met with judgment by Baby at all. And I think it shows you this bond is developed between these women, and Baby isn't who she thought she was, and she baby was never gonna it wouldn't have occurred to baby to judge her. But Penny's so used to everybody treating her like that her whole life that she feels like she has to pre empt it by addressing it. And that's like the sort of speech that she gives the baby gives her dad towards the end, when she's like, there's some things about me that you may not like, and you don't know about me, but if you love me, you have to love all of me, basically saying I have sex now, daddy, and you have to be okay with it. Sorry, daddy. Daddy cries. Can we talk about how much emphasis is post on the lift and how I want to develop an app called the Lift similar to lift. Instead of picking someone up in a car, you just pick them up and lift them over your head, like say I want that person to come pick me up and then you get picked up. I will absolutely give you. Yes, I liked the Lift. I mean, there are so many montages in this but when they are like, well, I'm trying you to the lift, this is where I first started questioning, Wait a second, how old is he? When he takes those seventeen year olds into the water and it's like, okay, we're about to see some nips. How old is this man again? Lifting this high school SENI here that said very horny scene. Liked it because anyone else. So many final thoughts about the movie. In the portrayal of women, we establish it, Yes, the movie does pass the back to textile. Maybe has conversations with her mother, with her sister Lisa, and with Penny, all about things that aren't men, say with the old gulf ter uh. And then we wrote the movie on a scale of zero to five nipples based on its portrayal of women. Four okay, yeah, because I mean you can't give five because it was three, so you're never gonna in there. And he ordered are occasional Jerry moments where it's like, oh, maybe just believe baby instead of corroborating it with three different childs. But you know, eventually he does believe baby. Baby is an exception of person throughout, even when she is helping man. She is you know, she she makes every decision for herself, and I mean, she's the main reason this movie is awesome. And Penny to Penny is like an awesome character, which that they had done more slash literally anything with her mom. I feel like they're coming ja march March marches sidelined hard so and and the sister's kind of a dummy, but we get to see the you know, she comes around as well and yeah, I'll skew up on your roof for okay. Yeah, I don't know. It bugged me that, like the baby doesn't get her like big speech at the end, like they give that to Johnny, which maybe I don't know, he kind of has more at stake. You could argue, I don't know, like whole family's true, but I don't know. I just I wish that she had more of like a climactic moment. She does get the lift, but who cares about the fucking lift? Oh, by the way, all four of my nipples? Uh. Summer Jerry Irack young Hot summer Jerry Alback old still hot. Cool. What I love is she doesn't give Penny the money to impress Johnny, Like she doesn't do what to like get it, like to get this guy to like her. She does it because it's what's right, and she doesn't hesitate at all. I'm gonna give it four and a half because I love again. I think the female characters. I wish they had more time to do stuff together, but I think Penny and Baby are phenomenal characters, and I love that we got to sort of see that arc between them and that Baby is consistent throughout and like who she is, and she winds up teaching even the wisest man alive. Jerry Arback, I Daddy, Jerry Arback loans a thing or two about a thing or two. Daddy knows our news round. Thank you so much for being here. So that was our live episode. Thanks to everyone who came. It was so much fun. We like did kind of a poll at the beginning. They're like, who's listened to the podcast before? And a bunch of people clapp and they're like, who hasn't? And then several people clapp there like great, thank you for just blindly going into this. And then we're like, who has not seen Dirty Dancing before? And then several people clapped. Some people didn't know what the podcast was or the movie, and it's like, you know, your average podcast host would be like, thank you so much for taking your risk. Me what are you doing? Like? What is one? Go get lunch. You had to pay money to be here? Yeah, I do fist. I mean, I would like to me they were very nice. They were a great audience. I would like to assume that our podcast, they probably just read the description and like this sounds so great. I want to come to this no matter what. I don't care if I haven't seen the movie. I just to see these women talk. God, I want of these women talk. I don't know if you guys are listening, tell us why. Well, we had one audience member who when we announced what movie we were doing, she audibly gasped, and she ended up being this incredible source of information which we can address now. So so in the live episode, were you probably heard part of it? Um, A lot of to Do is made about the traveling Abortionists. Abortion is a key plot point in this movie and is treated very responsibly, particularly for when the movie came out in eighties, and and we pointed that out a number of times, where Penny is having an abortion, but the issue was never the abortion. It's the timing of the abortion because of the whole traveling abortionist thing. And then, uh, this same lovely woman who gasped when we said dirty dancing approached after the show and let us know, and then we researched it and found out more that that was actually done very intentionally by the creators of the movie, because in this I mean, this came out like Reagan era, which is a very back and forth time for reproductive rights, and so it was written very intentionally that way as making abortion normalized and not a big deal that needs to be harped on exactly. Yeah. Um. She mentioned that this movie was sort of written and made a response to a series of anti abortion protests that were happening in the eighties, because the movie takes place in nineteen sixty three, which is a few years before Roe v. Wade, before abortion was made legal and more accessible, and you didn't have to have these back alley abortions from these traveling abortion is who really just mostly butchered women. Yeah. She provided a lot of context information, So, um, I wish we had gotten her name, but shout out if you're listening, and I hope you're still listening, because you were so great. Thank you for thank you for I mean, and and to all of our listeners who reached out to us and provide us with additional context. Helps us helps you guys. It's great. We appreciated everything works out. It reminds me, though, of a part that I had to cut out of the live episode because the audio was just I was, I think, screaming, so it was very distorted. But there's a part in the movie where Newman God I forget the actor's real name, but Newman from Seinfeld he's and he is promoting this class that you can take at this camp called the Psychology of the Insult Comedian. It's like glossed over in the movie, but like I honed in on this details, like, oh my god, I want to take this class. I also want to see a spinoff movie, a spinoff of Dirty Dancing called something like Dirty Comedy or something better than that, but it would be starting Jeff Ross. I just wanted to see a movie about like a young woman who goes to a camp and she she's like, oh, what's this class psychology? But then there's a man who's like, I'm the teacher of this class, like a four year old road comic. This young woman who's like, don't let young women anywhere near broad comics. They're dirty, stay away from them. They're like, hey, won't open from me. I'll give you. I'm not gonna get a car with you. Oh there's a part that I had to cut out where I literally just screamed. I was like, why is the lift so important? The big lift Johnny Castle has to lift baby up? Why is this so much emphasis placed on it? And I scream, fuck the left, And I just want everyone to know how angry I am about you were mad about the lift and I wasn't mad about the lift. Emily wasn't mad. Emily didn't yell once. It's almost like she's got a control on herself that we don't, and honestly, good for her. Good for her. She's a smart lady. Yeah. Yeah, and she's a social worker too, that's probably why she didn't. Yeah, she's she's cool, calm and collected. She's got a degree in having her ship together. Hey do you know what I have a degree in? I don't care, but there's a master's screen in screenwriting from Boston University. Yeah. So, yeah, this was our episode about dirty dancing. We had so much fun.
