Podcast Summary: "Matinee Monday: Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance LIVE! (w/ Casey Wilson)"

Episode Overview

In the December 9, 2024 episode of "How Did This Get Made?" titled "Matinee Monday: Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance LIVE! (w/ Casey Wilson)," hosts Paul Scheer, June Diane Raphael, and Jason Mantzoukas delve into the intricacies and absurdities of the Lifetime-produced television movie "Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance." Joined by special guest Casey Wilson, the trio offers a humorous yet critical analysis of the film, highlighting its portrayal of the beloved royal couple amidst questionable plot choices and character developments.

Introduction to the Movie

The episode opens with Paul Scheer introducing the movie and expressing his initial excitement paired with skepticism about the portrayal of Harry and Meghan within a Lifetime production framework. [03:01] Paul Scheer states, “Glad you guys listened to the podcast that came out a mere 12 hours ago. So excited to be here doing our very first Lifetime movie.”

Emotional Reactions and Expectations

Jason Mantzoukas kicks off the discussion by sharing his unexpected emotional response, admitting to crying twice during the film. [04:32] He exclaims, “I cried twice during this movie. Tears rolling down my face in my kitchen, screaming to myself, what's wrong with me?”

Paul Scheer concurs, revealing that he also shed tears, much to his wife's amusement. [04:55] Paul shares, “I too cried during this movie, much to my wife's chagrin.”

However, June Diane Raphael presents a contrasting viewpoint, expressing her frustration and lack of emotional connection with the film. [06:32] She remarks, “I did not like this motion picture.”

Critical Analysis of Characters and Plot

The hosts dissect various elements of the movie, often highlighting inconsistencies and over-the-top character portrayals. One significant point of contention is the depiction of Meghan Markle's character, who is portrayed as a modern, hip individual navigating royal life. [05:20] June questions the casting choices, suggesting, “She should have [starred]. She comes across very cool, very hip.”

The inclusion of a lion symbolizing Princess Diana's spirit introduces a surreal element that many hosts find jarring and out of place. Casey Wilson points out her emotional connection to these fantastical elements, stating, “I cried five times,” referencing the symbolic lions. [09:13]

Portrayal of Royal Relationships

A substantial portion of the discussion centers around the romantic dynamics between Harry and Meghan, emphasizing unrealistic romantic gestures and plot devices. For instance, the subplot where Prince Harry waits 40 minutes for Meghan before their rendezvous sparks criticism for its implausibility and lack of depth. [22:00] Jason Mantzoukas humorously questions the logic, “Have you ever left you waiting for 40 minutes?”

June Diane Raphael delves into the strained relationship depicted between Meghan and other royal figures, particularly criticizing the Queen's lack of empathy and the ensuing emotional turmoil. [12:44] She asserts, “It's because of her lack of empathy and because of her having marched Henry and William behind that casket.”

Guest Contributions and Insights

Casey Wilson enriches the conversation with her insights, highlighting moments that resonated emotionally and those that fell flat. She emphasizes the problematic portrayal of historical figures and the over-reliance on cliched plot points. [09:28] Casey notes, “I cried at both lions,” underscoring the film's attempt to blend reality with fantasy.

Humorous Interjections and Thematic Explorations

Throughout the episode, the hosts interweave humor with their critiques, often riffing on unrealistic movie tropes and the blending of reality with scripted drama. They mock the Lifetime movie's attempts to humanize the royal couple while simultaneously indulging in melodramatic storytelling. [28:26] Jason Mantzoukas quips, “But how hard is your time? Now I'm an. I'm an imposition.”

Audience Engagement and Q&A

Towards the end, the hosts engage with the audience through a mock Q&A segment, further satirizing the film's content and its implausible scenarios. They playfully adopt British accents and respond to fictitious questions, maintaining the episode's comedic tone while reinforcing their critical stance on the movie's execution.

Conclusion and Final Thoughts

In wrapping up, the hosts collectively agree that while the movie offers entertainment value through its over-the-top scenarios and emotional moments, it ultimately falls short in providing a believable and respectful portrayal of Harry and Meghan's real-life narrative. [95:50] Jason Mantzoukas concludes, “I don't know that I would. It is not very good. It is actually patently absurd. But there is something enjoyable about it in a weird way.”

They recommend viewers approach the film with a sense of humor and a critical eye, acknowledging its place within the realm of Lifetime's often campy and sensationalized productions.

[Paul Scheer]

Hello, people of Earth and hello, people of Los Angeles. It's me, Jason La Statham in the only place I like to perform. Now here's your host of how did this Get Made, Paul Scheer. Hey, everybody. Welcome to how did this Get Made? Nervous if that bit was gone over. Glad it did. Glad you guys listened to the podcast that came out a mere 12 hours ago. So excited to be here doing our very first Lifetime movie. There was some confusion. We thought Holiday in Handcuffs was a Lifetime movie. It was not. ABC Family as we learned, very different. Now we will see if this fulfills June's wants and desires. We'll get into it in a couple minutes. But first, please welcome my co host, Mr. Jason Manzoukas.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What's up, jerks? How we doing, everybody? Nice. I mean, isn't it a little early to do a movie about true love? It's not Valentine's Day yet. Is this our Valentine's Day episode?

[Paul Scheer]

It could be.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It is now. Because I'll be honest. I cried twice during this movie. Jason Kaboom. Tears rolling down my face in my kitchen, screaming to myself, what's wrong with me? What is wrong with me? To un empty house, Jason.

[Paul Scheer]

I'm not going to lie. I was going to save this fact till later. I too cried during this movie, much to my wife's chagrin.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I was like, into this movie, I have an update. Very into this movie, I. I get a Lifetime movie.

[Paul Scheer]

I get it. Lions are in this.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I believe Meghan Markle starred in this movie.

[Paul Scheer]

She should have. She comes across very cool, very hip.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, guys.

[Paul Scheer]

I think they could have gotten Prince Charles.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow. There's a lot in this. I cannot wait to dig right in because there I made so many notes. I wrote numerous times. Need to talk about Africa.

[Paul Scheer]

You are like Toto.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So our guest tonight, Weezer.

[Paul Scheer]

Also, to talk about this movie tonight, someone who I don't think cried during it. Surprisingly, if you were to make a graph of who you thought would cry, she did not. Please look at my other co host, June Diane Rayfield. Welcome, welcome.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I can't believe how mad you are right now.

[June Diane Raphael]

I am a. I feel anger off the bat, which isn't a great look.

[Paul Scheer]

You did not cry.

[June Diane Raphael]

I didn't cry for a second and I don't know if it's. There's so much to cry about these days that I am just tapped or I can't access my emotions anymore. I did not like this motion picture.

[Paul Scheer]

June, Would it surprise you to know it is not a motion picture? A telephilm, maybe.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

There are commercial breaks in this movie.

[Paul Scheer]

This movie clocks in in a hot 83 minutes.

[June Diane Raphael]

Okay.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

There are multi.

[June Diane Raphael]

No, here's the thing. I think I was in, in real life so deeply, so deeply affected by the passing of Princess Di that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Okay, I did not think you were.

[Paul Scheer]

Going to go there.

[June Diane Raphael]

I read.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Well, I was. I am so excited that this is where we're starting from.

[June Diane Raphael]

I was deeply affected and I still am.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Okay.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[June Diane Raphael]

And yet this movie felt like it was making a mockery.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't disagree. I don't disagree.

[Paul Scheer]

Princess Dia was complicated, but she was into stealing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And now. And now she's a lion. A lion that basically gives me Markle a thumbs up and is like, you got this, girl. Thanks. I can go away now, even though my youngest son is, I think, king of Africa.

[Paul Scheer]

Yes, the Lion King. Similarities start at moment one and don't let up until about moment 70. Well, to dissect this film, I couldn't think of anyone better than. She's a Holly dismayed all star. We love having her on the show. You know her, you love her. She is currently on the brand new Showtime show, Black Monday. She also co hosts the Bitch Sesh podcast. Please welcome Casey Wilson.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Hi.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank you for having me.

[Paul Scheer]

So excited to have you, pal.

[Casey Wilson]

If I could just show you what's written on my notes right now.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, it is. I cried reminder on a plane.

[Casey Wilson]

I cried five times.

[Paul Scheer]

Five times.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Five times.

[Casey Wilson]

And then I write, I'm crying the lion.

[Paul Scheer]

Five times.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The lion. Oh, wow.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, that is it. That is.

[June Diane Raphael]

Okay, I want to know, did the lion happen? First of all, that's a good question. Like, is this an unauthorized. Yes.

[Paul Scheer]

No, it does not say that.

[June Diane Raphael]

But I did feel like there were certain details that must have been in articles or things that everything was in an article. Everything was in an article. Like the avocado toast. Like that was in an article.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I think it was in a listicle. I think this movie is built on listicles. There are moments.

[Casey Wilson]

Source material is Meghan Markle's blog.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It is credited to a Buzzfeed article, 36 things you didn't know about the royals. Most of it is that I will.

[Paul Scheer]

Say that there were moments, especially when Meghan Markle was talking about what it was like to Be a struggling actress. And that felt like, oh, you just lifted this from, like, a really shitty puff piece in, like, People magazine. It was like, this is a great monologue for you actress who's playing Meghan Markle. And it was like. It was just like, what could she do with it? It was just like a. An anecdote. Poorly.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But did they twice. Did he. Has he twice experienced a lion within. Within 10ft of him? I wrote, if so, he should talk about it all the time.

[Paul Scheer]

I wrote down my first note.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's exceptionally lucky and foolish. Shouldn't he be being guarded better now?

[June Diane Raphael]

Listen to somebody who has been a Approached by a lion. No, but winged creatures who have represented winged.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay, not like Gargoyles Jr. You're talking.

[June Diane Raphael]

About birds who have represented loved ones who have passed. And I can sickly approached.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Meaning what? Flown by.

[June Diane Raphael]

I don't want to get into it. No, I don't mean flown by. I mean. Yes. I mean have flown in front of my face, like, for a while.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Okay.

[Casey Wilson]

For at specific.

[June Diane Raphael]

Oh, you are this person.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I thought you were referencing something.

[June Diane Raphael]

I am this person. So I do believe, like, when people pass, they can take. Yes, yes. They can take pride.

[Casey Wilson]

When the lion came, that was Diana.

[June Diane Raphael]

Well, I know that.

[Casey Wilson]

Well, you love her so much. You love her so much you don't want to see her.

[June Diane Raphael]

I do love her so much. I did not like the way this movie portrayed her. And I did not like that the Queen came out smelling like a rose.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yes.

[Casey Wilson]

Didn't like that.

[June Diane Raphael]

I resented that.

[Casey Wilson]

Agree.

[June Diane Raphael]

No, thank you.

[Paul Scheer]

The Queen was not after us.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The Queen was nuts. The Queen was a crazy scene.

[Paul Scheer]

It almost seems like the Queen paid for the movie. That she was so cool. It was like.

[Casey Wilson]

It was propaganda.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah, like she. Like the Queen, I feel like, was like. Yeah. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if somehow she'd written the movie and had chosen exactly who to play her. Or somehow there's scenes in which she.

[June Diane Raphael]

Does play herself, which is so crazy because the Queen, when I say I was scarred by Princess Diana's death and still affected by it, a lot of that is because of the Queen's behavior.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay, get into it, June. Break it down.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's because of her behavior. It is. It's because of her lack of empathy and because of her having marched Henry and William behind that casket.

[Casey Wilson]

Why was it bad to march them behind the casket?

[Paul Scheer]

Didn't Bobby Kennedy do that? I mean, not Bobby. JFK. JFK Jr.

[Casey Wilson]

I thought it isn't just.

[June Diane Raphael]

I don't know what he marched behind the casket. He saluted a little. Yeah, but I don't remember him marching.

[Casey Wilson]

Cry when little Henry put a card on his the flowers on top her casket that said Mummy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I didn't cry at that. I was like. I genuinely was like, did this happen?

[Paul Scheer]

I wrote down my first note is. Is this.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes.

[Casey Wilson]

We have to take license.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What? License.

[Paul Scheer]

It just happened. This movie also posits that the queen watches Netflix.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes, that's what's. There's so many crazy current things at play in this movie because again, this just happened.

[Paul Scheer]

I literally thought, I was like, oh, well, this happened in 2017. No, it was 2018. It was a mere a couple of months ago.

[Casey Wilson]

And yet they left out the thing we all fucking want to see, which is the wedding.

[Paul Scheer]

They spent all that money on the Africa trip. They went back to Africa too many times. Ultimately, today we're going to be breaking down all the things that we think are BS in movies.

[June Diane Raphael]

Can we touch on Meghan Markle's wedding dress? Or is that for a different.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, no. I mean, look, if you want to.

[Casey Wilson]

We're here. We're here.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you think that we don't. We just didn't. This movie was made prior to knowing these things. Is that what we saw?

[Casey Wilson]

I think it was made right before the wedding, but that's disappointing. They should have waited.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm going to say something. I thought she looked beautiful. Absolutely stunning. I thought she lost too much weight and the dress was ill fitting.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, somebody just said what?

[Casey Wilson]

I thought the hair was too messy.

[June Diane Raphael]

Okay, now we can move on.

[Casey Wilson]

Nobody's with us. Nobody's with us.

[June Diane Raphael]

I just, I don't.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I didn't. I'm just seeing this for the first time. I'm just seeing these pictures.

[June Diane Raphael]

Beautiful. She looks good. I think in the halter dress though. This is something that brides do. They lose too much weight. Right before, it just all looks a little.

[Paul Scheer]

When I worked with Megan on the league, no big deal, you know, she was someone who could carry off anything, whether it was a joke or a dress, you know, so when I look at her here, I'm like, yeah, what's going on? Just saying, like my former co star, no big deal.

[June Diane Raphael]

Now I will say Paul has mentioned that she worked on the league, a number.

[Paul Scheer]

I was invited to her first wedding.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I'm just gonna say there's a Queen Latifah clip playing in the background.

[Paul Scheer]

Sorry, did not realize.

[Casey Wilson]

I love the queen.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I wanna get to this story, but like there is definitely a cigna ad happening in the background of this episode.

[Paul Scheer]

All right.

[Casey Wilson]

I love Megan for reasons that are a bit different than everyone does. And I love those reasons as well. But as an actress in like B level sitcoms, I mean, a 36 year old actress, I'm like, yes, like that could be me. And it wasn't. It wasn't ultimately, you know, but it wasn't.

[June Diane Raphael]

It was not, by the way.

[Paul Scheer]

It could still be. I mean, right? I mean, look, you have to make two very big decisions quickly. But I think it can happen.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Well, keep in mind, she was divorced.

[Paul Scheer]

Yes. You know, that was the wedding I was invited to.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yes. Sorry. That's where you were. Were you at that wedding?

[Paul Scheer]

I did not go because I felt. I felt like the wedding invitation wasn't like right for me.

[June Diane Raphael]

You know what? I don't think you should have. And I'm not saying this, I don't think you should have been invited.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah, I agree.

[June Diane Raphael]

I think that's very strange.

[Casey Wilson]

And I make that decision for people if they invite me and I shouldn't, I don't go. Not to be rude for them. It's good to say you shouldn't have invited me.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah. You made a grave error.

[Casey Wilson]

But that's respectful. I think. I do think that's respectful.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, now, did she get Oil of Olay or whatever that hand soap company was? Because they said that she's the girl who stopped.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yes. She got them to the advertising to change their.

[Casey Wilson]

That was a very quick mention.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Gendered. The right for their ads is what they. It intimates. Is that true, audience, Is that true?

[Paul Scheer]

Ivory Soap.

[Casey Wilson]

Ivory Soap or Oil of Oil.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah. That's a big deal. It's very big. This movie is totally true then.

[June Diane Raphael]

Looks like it. She did the actress playing.

[Casey Wilson]

I thought she was phenomenal.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I thought both of them were great.

[Casey Wilson]

Amazing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Because they were given absolute trash to say. They have lines in this movie that are straight up garbage. And they deliver them beautifully.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, that's what I'm saying.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

To keep this nightmare afloat, she had.

[Casey Wilson]

To say, how about more like glass ceilings, not glass slippers?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, you know what? I thought her scenes most. Her most powerful scenes were when she was on the set of Suits. Not liking the lines. Cause it was meta. It was like, oh, you're on. You, the actress are. It's all happening here.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I feel like, yes.

[Paul Scheer]

Your Suits. Is this.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Does anybody know?

[Paul Scheer]

And what a slam to Suits this movie. You take offense with the queen. I take offense to the writing of Suits. An abc. What is it?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wasn't it usa A? USA Stalwart characters welcome dialog.

[Paul Scheer]

Not so much shots.

[Casey Wilson]

They're very well shot.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's not like she was on Rolia Isles.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, what did she say? What did she say? She goes, I don't want. I don't want to say. Oh, yeah. She goes, I'll see him in court. And like, we got a rewrite for you. Tell him I'm taking him to court. And that's when she quit.

[Casey Wilson]

That's when she quit.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah. She fucking knows what's up.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

There are so many. I do. I genuinely believed both of them were fantastic. And I thought they had chemistry. Again.

[Casey Wilson]

I was titillated many times.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What? Titillated? When?

[Casey Wilson]

A lot. When they were making out in the tent in Africa.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yeah. And she took off.

[Casey Wilson]

When she took off her.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Her robe.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, yeah. When she did move.

[Casey Wilson]

And then she repeated the move from Suits where she was like, can you come in?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

Which meant that she knew how to do it, but she wasn't gonna do it for Suits. Yes. Which fucks over Suits. A stalwart of USA Characters welcome dialogue. Not welcome.

[June Diane Raphael]

We're all clear that Henry is not the biological son of. Okay, just as long as everybody's on the same page about that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, is that for real?

[June Diane Raphael]

Paul Fire up that Google machine pronto.

[Paul Scheer]

By the way, you just created a T shirt. All right, wait, is that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is that. Is this. Is this a real. Is this a thing?

[June Diane Raphael]

Pull up a photo. I can't remember his name, but he was.

[Casey Wilson]

Oh, the driver or the.

[June Diane Raphael]

No, not the driver. He's a. Another ginger.

[Paul Scheer]

What?

[Casey Wilson]

James.

[Paul Scheer]

James Stewart.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's something like that.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, so. But who's Prince Harry's real dad?

[June Diane Raphael]

James Hewitt. James Hewitt.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is this.

[June Diane Raphael]

Pull up images. Pull up images.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, we're looking. We're gonna look.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

All right, guys, this is crazy.

[June Diane Raphael]

I mean, that's crazy.

[Casey Wilson]

That's crazy. That looks like Khloe Kardashian and Kristen.

[Paul Scheer]

It's loading up here.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He seems very blurry as well. I agree. Harry's blurry.

[Paul Scheer]

So who is this guy? Who is.

[June Diane Raphael]

Who is it?

[Paul Scheer]

Yes, go ahead.

[June Diane Raphael]

What I remember reading years ago, this is a man that Diana definitely did have an affair with. Like, that's clear. The timeline is what's tricky, because I don't think she. Or she. They don't think she had that affair before Harry was born. But they look exactly alike.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, he said this is a photo that quashes the rumors that. Oh, all right. So that. All right, so why does that quash the rumors? Oh, I guess maybe quashes it by confirming it. He's got red hair. I mean, that's.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I mean, I. It could.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh. I think what they're saying is that he looks like Prince Philip. So that makes sense. But it is common knowledge.

[Casey Wilson]

It's a roundabout way to get us there.

[Paul Scheer]

I don't know, June. You're bringing it up so that.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah, so I'm just saying, if we're on the Royal Family, I mean, what do you think?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Which. What should we do?

[Paul Scheer]

I mean, there you go.

[June Diane Raphael]

I feel like after this movie, Princess Dies, memory has been, you know, tarnished enough.

[Casey Wilson]

As the woman that played Die, I.

[June Diane Raphael]

Thought she did a great job. What I didn't like was the whole rant about Diana and doing publicity stunts at the mines and like that.

[Paul Scheer]

Also, what about the lion that played Die? Did you like the lion that played Die?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Can I. I wonder, did somehow this movie production have access be granted by the. Like, are they doing anything that is that they had to get permission so that they had to, like, frame things in a way that were pro Queen, anti Diana kind of stuff?

[June Diane Raphael]

I mean, the queen hated Diana. Like, just so we're all clear on.

[Casey Wilson]

That, I think everybody's clear.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I also thought this movie was kind of savage towards Kate Middleton.

[Casey Wilson]

Wow.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes. Kate.

[Casey Wilson]

This movie took her down.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She has a line at some point that's like we're not allowed to have opinions or something that is equally as insane.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, Kate Middleton. And was it William? Prince William. They are the cookie next door neighbors in this sitcom of this movie. It's like just popping in, eating like. Oh. It's like. It seems so pedestrian. Like they just happen to always be hanging out, their kids, never around. Like it just, it was. I was like, I'm like, let's cast them in something. I would like to see. I want to see a sitcom of this whole dynamic.

[Casey Wilson]

I have to say, I feel like there were some missed opportunities, you know, in the movie. And one, of course I said was the wedding, but the other one is when her friend's like, I've got a blind date for you. I was waiting for some fun surrounding the fact. Did she not know it was going to be the prince? Next we know, she's sitting there waiting for the prince. We never got to see the part where she learned her friend was setting her up with the prince.

[June Diane Raphael]

That's what's so weird about this movie. It feels like it's just tied to reality. So like, I think she. It's just. That's why I ask, was it authorized?

[Casey Wilson]

Yeah, because it felt authorized.

[Paul Scheer]

It felt based on a text that someone got from Meghan Markle. Comes Harry and Meghan, a royal royal.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I love when they're in the apartment and Harry's gotta be in the apartment because he can't go out because. Because nobody can discover. And she's like, guess what? We're going to go to a Halloween party. I've got you covered. She closes his eyes and the guy from suits comes in and all he's holding up is garment bags.

[Paul Scheer]

No.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So she's like, tada. And all he's got is garment bags.

[Paul Scheer]

But can I, can I?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Like, why couldn't he see that the man was bringing in garment bags? I have a reveal is when we see. It's a frog costume. The reveal for him is garment bags.

[Paul Scheer]

I have a whole, whole other issue with it. Yes. On the surface that's a problem. My issue was why was the makeup artist bringing anything over?

[Casey Wilson]

That was my issue.

[Paul Scheer]

It should have been the costume person.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Exactly.

[Paul Scheer]

Or the makeup artist should have been like, here, I'm gonna make you look like fucking cats from the Broadway Cats.

[Casey Wilson]

Isn't it the war costume person?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is it the costume person who set them up?

[Casey Wilson]

It's a stylist.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, it's a Stylist. So it's not the. It's not wardrobe on suit.

[Casey Wilson]

Now, really quickly, I read an article in Vanity Fair about Megan that came out this month, and they. They slammed her so hard in this one line. I don't know.

[June Diane Raphael]

It really slammed Megan.

[Casey Wilson]

It chilled me to my core.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, this came out. This is not what's referred to in the movie. This is a present. Vanity Fair.

[Casey Wilson]

They did bring up Vanity Fair many times in their relationship to the magazine.

[June Diane Raphael]

Crazy.

[Casey Wilson]

By the way, this is Laura Jones on the COVID And basically it said anonymous. Like, one of Meghan's friends says, and I quote, meghan Markle's the kind of girl who's best friends with her stylist.

[June Diane Raphael]

Ooh, that's chilling.

[Casey Wilson]

That is chilling. It really chilled it radically.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Why is that chilling? What does that. What does that mean?

[Paul Scheer]

Got no friends, Jason. That's a rough. That's a rough line.

[Casey Wilson]

It says so much.

[June Diane Raphael]

Her best friend is someone she has to pay. Yeah. Is someone you're paying to tell you that you look beautiful at all times and is like.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is that what a stylist does?

[June Diane Raphael]

Pretty much.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Siri, order stylist.

[June Diane Raphael]

It does. Unfortunately, I do feel like it.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, can I. Can I add just a little bit of information about that Halloween party? Because I immediately at this point got suspicious. I was like, I need to start Googling. There is no picture that got out from that evening. There is just the rumor, like the hearsay that he was at a Halloween party. So they created this incredibly aggressive American, like, you didn't even fucking fly. You.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No.

[Paul Scheer]

I would say not many men that are gonna get that drunk care that much about Harry.

[June Diane Raphael]

I mean, listen, let's bring up the Nazi costume. The Nazi Halloween costume he wore just a few years ago.

[Paul Scheer]

Yes.

[June Diane Raphael]

If we're going to bring up anything at a Halloween.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

Not that you didn't really fly and you. You like. His arguments were so pointy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's the thing that is so weird. It really. It lives in a world in which, like, one of the grips on suits is obsessed with the Royal Family, who's a Canadian. Like, Like Vancouver. Like a grip who. Or a crew guy who's just like, crazy about William and Harry's military. You were in the co pilot seat. What?

[June Diane Raphael]

I do think Canadians have a different experience of. Oh, sure, England and the Royal Family. I just. I think they have.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So you believe that that scene is more commonwealth.

[Paul Scheer]

I did appreciate that she kept on the Hillary Clinton mass while arguing. That was one of the best moments.

[Casey Wilson]

Was the actress, like, not There that day.

[Paul Scheer]

Why did she need to hide her identity? That was the other problem. Like, Meghan Markle shouldn't be hiding too.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And she's in costume as Hillary after Hillary has already lost the election.

[Casey Wilson]

No, Hillary was five days away because in the bar, it was loud. But she's like, he said something. Future president. She's like, only five days away. So I thought we were gonna see the devastation. Nope, we didn't see that scene.

[Paul Scheer]

Maybe that's what caused her to quit suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, there's so much.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, I just wanna. You know, the one thing I do feel like we could talk about a lot of the surface shit. And I don't wanna get into all that because the real issue of the movie was these two people connected on this deep thing. It's like, you know, she had this biracial relationship. It was so hard for her to grow up. And he was a ginger. And to see these two people, I'm so glad they found each.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[Paul Scheer]

So hard for her. But even harder for him. He was a ginger. The fact that anyone could have written that scene with any bit of earnestness. You think it's hard growing up biracial America? I have red hair and I'm a fucking prince. That's hard. Microphone drop. Walk out.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She basically has multiple instances where she is. You know, she tells a story about, like, her mom being called the N word.

[Paul Scheer]

And it's bleeped even in the bot version of it on itunes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It is wild to bleep racist terms from racists.

[Casey Wilson]

Yep.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It, like, forgives them their racism in a weird way. They should be represented as horrible people saying horrible things and we should be able to judge them for it. It felt insane to me that it was like, oh, no, we're not gonna allow that. We're not gonna. We're gonna, like, bleep the word within the movie. I don't know. That really bothered me. I felt like that was bizarre. Am I wrong?

[June Diane Raphael]

No, I totally agree. And I thought it was maybe like, a lifetime, I'm assuming standard, but then it weirdly allows them to get Art Kelly docu series. Oh, I. I don't think that that's true.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is R. Kelly up to something?

[June Diane Raphael]

Oh, Jason.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, boy.

[Casey Wilson]

Jason.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I've not heard of anything. What's going on? I have tickets to see him coming up. Should I not be going?

[June Diane Raphael]

I wouldn't go. I would definitely get a rep. Oh, man.

[Paul Scheer]

Why?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Why did he. Paul, will you Google R. Kelly and see if something's going on?

[June Diane Raphael]

Don't do that.

[Paul Scheer]

There. While this movie was committed to truthful tellings of the goings on. Why didn't Princess. Well, why didn't Meghan Markle wash her hair from Africa back to set? Yeah, like, we're like, what happened to your hair? It's like, so she didn't shower, like, didn't even hit the shower on the way home.

[Casey Wilson]

He was like, girl, where have you been? And it's like her hair looks like she'd just been a tasso. It was probably 40 hours later.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah, I feel like they weren't traveling like harshly. Like, I feel like there was many chances for them to hit a shower, even if she didn't get one back in Vancouver.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What was the. You're okay. You know, you have that experience where you are on a date and you are just connecting so hard and everything you've shared is making you feel that moment where you are about to kiss. Right? And then you know what stops you? The sun coming up. Why. Why would. They're like, ooh, they're vampires. Unless you are a vampire. Exactly. Unless you are a vampire. It doesn't matter that the sun has come up. You still fuck. You just fuck while the sun is up. That story is. We stayed up all night talking. It was awesome. The sun came up and we fucked.

[Paul Scheer]

The sun came up so aggressively as if you were watching like a time lapse photographer. It was like wham. It was like, sun does not rise that aggressively. I felt so bad for the bartender who had to stay there the whole night. Oh yeah, slumped over listening to this. Like, what's Your favorite movie?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

1, 2, 3, wait song. By the way, Sail Away is a fucking great song.

[June Diane Raphael]

Sounded great.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So do not. And also, is that what he said? Did they play that game? Guys, what is real about this movie? Why did they say. They both said that they loved a poem that Morgan Freeman. Morgan Freeman read, but they never said who wrote the poem.

[Paul Scheer]

What to attribute the poem to the reader of it is a fucked up thing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's what makes me feel like this is real.

[Casey Wilson]

It was.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't think either of these dum dums knows who wrote the poem, but I think both of them heard Morgan Freeman read it somewhere. And it might just be some lines about from Morgan Freeman in the paint.

[Paul Scheer]

I heard an. I heard an amazing thing on a Toyota commercial. It was I have a dream. Like, remember when they took Martin Luther King speech and put in like a truck commercial, but you only referenced the truck commercial version of it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That was. That's where I was like, what's going on.

[Paul Scheer]

Guys, is Megan sassy? Too sassy? Not enough sassy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She's pushy. More than she sassy.

[Casey Wilson]

She's pushy. Little princess. I found in the first date she was a little too sassy.

[June Diane Raphael]

I would have been like, I'm out 40 minutes. He was 40 minutes late. Now that did feel like a very.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Real detail and would have been better with Casey's buildup. You know, if you had seen her anticipation about going on the date and then feeling like she had been genuinely stood up.

[June Diane Raphael]

Or if we just as an audience knew that she knows she's about to meet Prince Harry. Like that's a crazy.

[Casey Wilson]

Either way.

[June Diane Raphael]

Either way, I'm there or let her walk out. Right?

[Casey Wilson]

Let's let more happen.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah, but he let you only got 83 minutes.

[June Diane Raphael]

40 minutes. That's a long.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

In an empty room. In an empty room.

[June Diane Raphael]

I was like a psychological test.

[Casey Wilson]

It was like a 50 shades of gray.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

And then he basically says, I'll be in there for about 45 seconds. And then you know what to do. Yeah, like that was his plan was 45 seconds, not like 10 minutes. Like it was. Yeah, it was a quick pull out.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But he got pretty. Wait, a what?

[Paul Scheer]

Sorry. Read my note from the Africa sequence. Sorry.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's a quick pull out.

[June Diane Raphael]

I did not like that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't like that phraseology wise at all. I'd rather that not be said on the podcast.

[Paul Scheer]

Fine. Fine.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Can we he Botswana her?

[Paul Scheer]

He Botswanad her. That's a.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He is treated in Botswana like a white God.

[Casey Wilson]

That was so uncomfortable.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He is referred to as a godsend. He is, like, referred to as your highness. It is wild how he is shown.

[Paul Scheer]

In Botswana because his mother is controlling all the lions.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, that's true.

[Paul Scheer]

But I did love that moment. I love that moment in Africa when that little girl is introduced and they're basically like, both her parents are dead. And then Meghan Markle's like, you wanna get out of here?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

We gotta get back to the hotel.

[Casey Wilson]

You have to go see the lion.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It didn't seem like she was gonna say anything, so I figured, let's go cuddle. And then later, your mom will show up as a lion, and she'll give me the thumbs up, which means I can do it.

[Casey Wilson]

I didn't understand why Meghan was so upset by the missive that he put out trying to protect her. And I do think her mom, Doria, was right.

[Paul Scheer]

I agree with that.

[June Diane Raphael]

I do, too.

[Casey Wilson]

Yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

I thought that. I thought that he, like. Well, I mean, obviously Kate said it was the most romantic thing, and then she was upset, but maybe it was because they didn't talk about it.

[June Diane Raphael]

So maybe Paul.

[Casey Wilson]

Maybe.

[June Diane Raphael]

But it was odd because, I mean, I'm assuming this is all I have to assume, watching this movie, that every single thing is pulled from some source material that's been on the Internet somewhere. Jordi, Martini, I guess all of it. So I guess she was just. Just. I trace it back, Honestly, to the 40 minutes she had to wait and feeling like. I mean, when she entered into, she.

[Casey Wilson]

Was still harboring that.

[Paul Scheer]

Have I ever left you waiting for 40 minutes?

[June Diane Raphael]

Never. Never. That's an absurd amount of time to make someone wait. But I did feel like.

[Paul Scheer]

Did you kill somebody for making you wait 40 minutes?

[June Diane Raphael]

I did feel like it was a.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It.

[June Diane Raphael]

It was a romantic gesture. And also, his mother was killed in a tunnel by the paps. Like, this is somebody who is legitimately, of course, very scared of the attention that's coming at this point.

[Casey Wilson]

And then when her mom was like. Remember his mom? She was like, oh, yes. Damn it. God damn it. This was after she was very upset when she screamed at him, my tower ain't ivory, dude.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That was the point that I cried. No, no, no, sorry. Not that. Not that point. The point where her mother shows her the Video and says to her, imagine what it must have been like to be this. You know what I mean? Like, that is the moment that got me, you know, that was when I was like, this fucking movie just made me cry. And I am like, kasey, can you.

[Paul Scheer]

Can you kind of bring us through your five cries?

[Casey Wilson]

Yeah. That was definitely one with Doria. I had two cries.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She was great.

[Casey Wilson]

I cried at both lions. The woman that played Doria.

[June Diane Raphael]

Fantastic.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So good.

[Casey Wilson]

Fantastic.

[Paul Scheer]

Amazing.

[Casey Wilson]

I cried at both lions.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Except for when she said the line. Did you tell him the whole ex husband thing? I was like, okay, these actors are.

[June Diane Raphael]

Handling dialogue that I could not.

[Casey Wilson]

Now there is an actress that I. I personally felt hurt that I was not asked to either audition or immediately play it. And that was the TS saying, wait.

[Paul Scheer]

You wanted to play Meghan Markle or the mob?

[Casey Wilson]

Neither.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[Casey Wilson]

The woman at the airport let her.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Go out at the private airport. They had. This movie is about.

[Casey Wilson]

You handled that comedy and that pushed her.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah. She didn't do a good job of that.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank you.

[Paul Scheer]

You would have killed that.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank you, Paul. I wrote I should have been.

[Paul Scheer]

And you were. And you were tech avail, too, right?

[Casey Wilson]

Absolutely.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I said that I would dye my beard and play Harry, but just your.

[Paul Scheer]

Beard, not your hair.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

My hair. Do not dye my hair. I will not do it, but I'll dye my beard. You know what? Full ginger beard.

[Casey Wilson]

How did she get out on that Runway?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's impossible. That is.

[Paul Scheer]

That did not happen. That could not happen.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The whole movie. Movie exists in a world in which one of the princes of England has no personal security whatsoever. Every time they fucked in Africa, 40 people could hear it. There is no doubt in my mind. There is like, they are surrounded by.

[June Diane Raphael]

People, which is so crazy. Like, I. Every once in a while, I'm still amazed that England is paying taxes to.

[Casey Wilson]

Keep these people, these inbreds.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yes. And it won't have.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This is a.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's truly insane.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This is a movie. This is what's so interesting. It's an aspirational love story for the mega rich. This movie is about mega wealthy people feeling like they deserve love, too. That's crazy.

[June Diane Raphael]

But, I mean, I guess they don't. They definitely don't.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

You have all the money. Let us have love.

[Paul Scheer]

No love. Bezos divorced.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah. Let us have.

[June Diane Raphael]

By the way, Bezos. I've been following the text messages. I am shocked and appalled at what I'm reading.

[Casey Wilson]

What are some of them again?

[Paul Scheer]

I want to put my lips.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So much lip. Lips talk.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah. It's so much Dirty talk. Not really, but around, like, central lip kissing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's disgusting.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's so gross. It makes me so uncomfortable.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Everybody at a certain age, older, thinks that the focus is just kissing.

[Paul Scheer]

I wanna. I wanna put my lips.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, on your lips. I'm gonna put my lips on your lips. And then I'm gonna do lips.

[June Diane Raphael]

I hated it. I hated every second of it.

[Casey Wilson]

So her friend released those texts.

[June Diane Raphael]

Oh, in the bezos.

[Casey Wilson]

Yes.

[June Diane Raphael]

That woman.

[Casey Wilson]

Sorry.

[June Diane Raphael]

That's okay.

[Casey Wilson]

And I'd love to see that movie.

[June Diane Raphael]

I would too.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Well, this.

[June Diane Raphael]

I don't know who released them.

[Casey Wilson]

Okay. Thank you.

[June Diane Raphael]

But they are out. They are out.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, boy.

[June Diane Raphael]

But here's the thing. Like, I guess at this point, England is just like. Well, this money to keep this family and security and to just have them live is just like money we're spending on tourism.

[Paul Scheer]

I mean, it's their Walt Disney World. Right. I mean, to a certain extent, it's like they're Mickey Mouse, but there's no rides.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is again, this.

[Paul Scheer]

I mean, although taxpayers dollars are not keeping up in Disneyland. So different.

[June Diane Raphael]

I just. Listen, I love. I love Megan and I love what she's done. What about Kate to shake up the whole situation. I was never a Kate fan.

[Casey Wilson]

Never a Kate fan.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This movie tough look for K. Kate in this movie.

[Paul Scheer]

Now, why is everybody in this audience also not a Kate fan? Can someone break?

[Casey Wilson]

She doesn't have the charisma.

[June Diane Raphael]

She's no Megan.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[June Diane Raphael]

And I think for many of us, what happened was we didn't know. Like, we thought we were fine with Kate until Megan came along.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[June Diane Raphael]

And then Kate just looks so vanilla and so sad.

[Casey Wilson]

And apparently Kate and Megan don't like each other.

[June Diane Raphael]

I know that.

[Casey Wilson]

Filling you in.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Can I ask you guys a question?

[Paul Scheer]

Like, you were 40 minutes late.

[Casey Wilson]

No.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Are you guys fighting right now?

[Casey Wilson]

I mean, I just. Some people may not know that.

[Paul Scheer]

But.

[Casey Wilson]

In this movie, they were quite close.

[June Diane Raphael]

And I think they start. My guess is that they started off that way.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yep.

[June Diane Raphael]

And then I think Megan is not wanting to play the game. We all know what that game is as much as Kate's been willing to.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah.

[Casey Wilson]

Kate said herself in the movie. I'm a baby machine.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes.

[Casey Wilson]

And someone said to Megan, your biological clock is at 11:59.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And you know who said that? Kate's friend.

[Casey Wilson]

Exactly.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Kate's friends were all the mean girls. Right.

[Casey Wilson]

And I like that. The mean girl. Her slam was like Harry and I watched suits together, and we. We didn't like it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, is this. Wait, are you auditioning right now? Can I ask you a question?

[Paul Scheer]

You are still tech.

[June Diane Raphael]

Amazing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Are you doing the accent now to prove you can?

[Casey Wilson]

It's been made.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This is sad.

[Casey Wilson]

And then she was like, I'll see you later.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I loved when both of their phones start going off and he goes, it's the palace.

[Paul Scheer]

It's my publicist.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What? Come on. There are so many things. Wait, this is another thing. How about, like, when the Queen walks them to a portrait and reveals that they're all fixed? I was like, is this an M. Night Shyamalan twitch?

[Paul Scheer]

I know. Well, I wanted to talk about that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The queen is like, guess what? We're all biracial, buddy. What?

[Casey Wilson]

What?

[Paul Scheer]

All right, I don't. This. This.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This is some straight nonsense.

[Casey Wilson]

This woman's 40 years younger than the Queen. I've always loved this portrait of our.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Ancestor, Queen Charlotte, because the painter Ramsay.

[Casey Wilson]

Didn'T try to hide her African heritage.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What?

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, yes.

[Casey Wilson]

You're of mixed race, Harry. So am I. Many of her portraits tried to hide.

[June Diane Raphael]

That fact, but this one is most.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Authentic.

[Casey Wilson]

Much like you.

[Paul Scheer]

Thank you.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So we have your blessing? Of course you do. Welcome. Family, my dear. I mean, the queen is never. The queen is basically like, we're black, too.

[Paul Scheer]

Yes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Queen is like, the thing that you. That makes you you. The thing that you are struggling. You are the central struggle for you. One of the central struggles for you in this whole thing. Us two.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah. Got it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

We are the monarchy, and we also are taking away. We are also black. And, like, she might as well be like, now I'm gonna play some Biggie Smalls. Like, I don't know what's happening. Like, this was a wild scene. This is irresponsible.

[June Diane Raphael]

The only thing I can think, honestly, is, like, I haven't heard the queen speak in a while. I'm like, maybe she's not all there. Like, wait, she may. She is an older woman. Like, she. If this is true, and I think every word of this movie is true, then she's losing it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She later says in signing the act in front of her, I don't know, Cabinet or whatever those people are. I'm doing this for whatever. Blah, blah. A divorced African American lady.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is how she refers to Meghan Markle. And I'm like, this is a meeting. This is an actual meeting. These people attended, so mustn't this be what she really said?

[Casey Wilson]

And then she was like, deal with it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes. She says, deal with it.

[June Diane Raphael]

You're not auditioning for that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Deal with it. And then basically goes like, what's happening? Then she was like, girl, is she watching Drag Race? I don't get it.

[Paul Scheer]

Queen played by RuPaul. Now, moving on. But, like, you would think that that would be the place where they would have to be truthful because it's on record in some level. But does anyone know if that was truthful scene? Did she snap?

[Casey Wilson]

I really liked the scene at the end when it was like, her time to finally come out to the people and they're in the limo.

[Paul Scheer]

That was what I did.

[Casey Wilson]

Then they blended it with the real footage. Gorgeous.

[Paul Scheer]

That was when I. That what got me. Because it's like. It is all real. It's all real.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No, it's not. Oh, my God. It was.

[Paul Scheer]

Look at it. Watch it. Watch us.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I was like, first, it starts weirdly with a montage from the movie we just saw. Yeah, that's what's crazy. They were like. They're like, you know what? People have probably forgotten a bunch of this stuff from earlier in the movie. Let's do a quick montage and then cut to the real people.

[Paul Scheer]

Can I ask you, is that weird or is it weird that only five minutes after the first scene happened, Harry tells her the scene that happened. He's like, when I was a kid, I was out there under a tree and like, yeah, we know. We just saw it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What's weird is, I assume that's because of commercials and feeling like people might just be joining. I mean, subtle recaps.

[Paul Scheer]

I also felt that some of these scenes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, there's so many this movie does that goes to the well so often.

[Casey Wilson]

Cinematography, gorgeous, beautiful.

[Paul Scheer]

So I did, by the way, I did forget this draft scene. So when I saw that was some good stuff.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah, they go to the well, a lot of, like, she's in her house, Harry calls, chat, chat, or in her trailer, chat, chat, chat. And then he's right there at the door.

[Casey Wilson]

That happened many times.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That happened so many times. And I was like, like, you can't do this that many times.

[Casey Wilson]

That's my favorite.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

When he's been washing the dogs, he's just like, us. There would be.

[Paul Scheer]

He was doing like. Well, they used to do it on snl, like, where it'd be like, oh, he. You know, it's like, Norm MacDonald's doing Burt Reynolds. And then all of a sudden, Burt Reynolds is like, I'm here too. Like, Burt Reynolds. You know, it's like, he would always a sneaker upper all the time.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This felt. Burt Reynolds. This felt like fan fiction, like, brought to life. Like, I feel like they went to a Fan fiction blog. And that's what they then did also.

[June Diane Raphael]

Because, by the way. So if he actually did that multiple times, do you know the egomaniac he.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Must be to think like, your time is my time.

[June Diane Raphael]

Your time is my time. And the best surprise that could ever happen is the reveal of myself as not on the phone, but in person.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But how hard is your time? Now I'm an. I'm an imposition. And guess what? Guess what? Romance is a burden.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, Shut up, motherfuckers. Because that guy was at home for five days and she had to work for 12 hours a day. He didn't complain once. He wasn't like, you're home late. He's like, I'm here.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I'm just washing these dogs. Yeah, while you're. While you're killing it on suits.

[Paul Scheer]

He never complained about her schedule, ever.

[June Diane Raphael]

I really wanted to know what the vibe on suits was during all I was thinking about.

[Casey Wilson]

I feel like we didn't get to see the other actresses ever, even like her.

[Paul Scheer]

They were all at the wedding.

[Casey Wilson]

When she told the makeup person or the hair person, she was like, I'm dating. She's like, don't tell anyone. Prince Harry. He was like, mm.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He was like, all right. He was like, Michael Jackson's son was his first guest. And I was like, what? What?

[Paul Scheer]

Who? I still feel is very young. I will tell you this. My only, like, real run in with insane paparazzi again. The League one of Megan Markle show was when we had Kristen Cavallari on the League. And the paparazzi came in such a way that it shook my trailer like they were rumbling by. So to think about what it must have been like for her to go on set every day.

[Casey Wilson]

Wow.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[Casey Wilson]

Paul. Paul, I salute you, Paul.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

You're like, paul, you have been there. Paul, you are a hero.

[Paul Scheer]

Secret Paul Shealing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Paul Scheer. Paul Scheer, beautiful American hero on the front line.

[Paul Scheer]

She's a goddamn hero.

[June Diane Raphael]

I mean, people must have been losing.

[Casey Wilson]

Losing their minds. I would have. I mean, died crazy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But at that point, right? What is the cast of Royal Pains thinking?

[June Diane Raphael]

Oh, that's a great question.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's what I'm wondering. What I'm thinking is, Mark Feuerstein must be furious. But then start every morning being like, kids, one of you assholes fuck someone interesting so that this show can get subtraction.

[June Diane Raphael]

By the way, I would love to look at the data. Like, did suits start to. I mean, I know people love suits. I've never seen an episode a Lot.

[Casey Wilson]

Of my aunts, people, ants love suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's a T shirt.

[Casey Wilson]

Answer. Welcome.

[Paul Scheer]

I thought that Suits did the best marketing ever. I once picked up dry cleaning, and you know how they have, like, the paper that hangs in the thing? It was an ad for suits, and I was like, that's the best advertising you could possibly do. You're wearing it. Why don't you watch it?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Holy shit.

[June Diane Raphael]

But did I like to look at the data? Did suits start to do significantly better?

[Paul Scheer]

Well, no, because it was all revealed to be a fever dream of Rami Malik from Mr. Robot. So this is all in his head. It was another USA show character. Garwalk. Welcome.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

How much the best USA show are. Really?

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm so sorry to interrupt. Jason, please. Okay, the tagline character.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I'll allow it. I never interrupt, so I know you don't. I'll allow it.

[Paul Scheer]

This is big.

[June Diane Raphael]

The tagline characters, welcome. I've turned it on.

[Casey Wilson]

Are we the characters or are they?

[June Diane Raphael]

Well, it's also exactly like.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, relax, relax, relax.

[June Diane Raphael]

I have no idea if I am a character watching it or am I watching characters?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No, it was built off of, like, an ad campaign. It was predicated on when USA licensed the TV show House, and they built their entire original programming on the back of reruns of House, and they built shows that were also these kind of big characters.

[Casey Wilson]

Oh, there were big characters on House.

[June Diane Raphael]

But my problem is every show is a character, right?

[Casey Wilson]

We're all characters.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, we all are? Okay, what show is this?

[Paul Scheer]

Guys, I got some real news on Suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, boy.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay, so here we go. The show has been trending in the wrong direction. Prior to Markle's exit in its fifth season, it averaged 2 million viewers per episode. But the number fell to 1.5 million after she left and Katherine Heigl took over. But wait, what?

[June Diane Raphael]

Did not know that she was honest. That.

[Casey Wilson]

Wait, you guys didn't know that?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait.

[Paul Scheer]

Yes. Katherine Heigl.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, what?

[June Diane Raphael]

Hold on.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, what?

[June Diane Raphael]

By the way, she initiated this.

[Casey Wilson]

She called the creator and said, I would like to replace Megan Markle.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, what? Wait, what?

[Paul Scheer]

She said, do not adjust your podcasting listening equipment.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What?

[June Diane Raphael]

Okay, June, wait a second.

[Paul Scheer]

Tap Jason. Tap Jason. June. He sucks.

[June Diane Raphael]

Wait a second.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, Jason, what's happening? How long have I been out?

[June Diane Raphael]

Hold on, hold on.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm really turning over this Katherine Heigl news. But that is.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That is, for me, the biggest takeaway from this episode. I wish at the end of this movie they had played a promo for the new season of Suits starring Katherine.

[Casey Wilson]

Heigl now that someone playing her.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes, yes.

[Casey Wilson]

Like her car should have pulled up and you shouldn't have known. And then it should have been her parking spot and been like K. Heigli.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Like, I think this, by the way, Sandra O.

[Paul Scheer]

Definitely did leave suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Suits.

[Paul Scheer]

She left suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Suits.

[Casey Wilson]

She's trying to get up.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She went to suits.

[Casey Wilson]

Everyone's on suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And she married the crown prince of Norway. What?

[Paul Scheer]

She went on suits and got a Golden Globe. Apparently that's the way you gotta get in there and you get something good. It's the leprechaun. It's the leprechaun of the TV world. You get away.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's somehow the inverse of. It's the anti Franklin and Bash principle. Right. I've got so many more shows to reference. This was wild. This moment was pretty wild.

[Paul Scheer]

This is where it comes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

When it flipped right into the real people. I was like, aw.

[Paul Scheer]

And then I think what happened is. Cause it's just news footage. You project the personalities you just saw on them. And then I think it became more emotional because. Yeah, look at that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, it's just movie star shots of the actual people.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah. I mean, more like bad news footage. But it is still like you're. You're up there and she looks. And by the way, that music isn't added in. That actually happened live there.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Just photo montage. Now. This is just iphoto and it's the same photo. It's a sk. Like the computer went to a screen.

[Paul Scheer]

Saver to one event. One event is all they had. Did they actually put the same photo three times across? It's like if, like my mom made like an Apple photo album. Like, here, mom. That's the same photo three times. Like, I didn't know how to complete the thing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't under. Understand our obsession with this, like the love lives of the mega rich.

[Paul Scheer]

Like back on this soapbox.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't get. I don't get why this is a. This is a. A story that. I don't know.

[Paul Scheer]

I don't think it's about him.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's about her.

[Paul Scheer]

It's about like, could you be a princess? I mean, right? That's the version of it. That's the Lifetime movie.

[June Diane Raphael]

I guess this particular story is. Is very compelling because of who she is, because she's biracial, because she's American, because she's divorcee, because she's 36, 37. Like, it is unusual.

[Casey Wilson]

It was not interesting in this film.

[June Diane Raphael]

And groundbreaking. Yes, yes.

[Casey Wilson]

You know, another missed opportunity. Where was Samantha Markle. That's a crazy, kooky character.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'd love to have seen her.

[Casey Wilson]

Someone could play. That would have been fun.

[Paul Scheer]

Who was.

[June Diane Raphael]

You have an impression? Anything you've promoted?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Is this an audition? I'm Sparkle.

[June Diane Raphael]

I guess you got it. You got the part.

[Paul Scheer]

What other.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you have any.

[Paul Scheer]

What else would TV say?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you have any other lines?

[Casey Wilson]

You're like my pushy little princess sister.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Any. Can you do two more lines?

[Casey Wilson]

Okay, I'm writing a book in my.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The White side of Our Family's crazy. Okay, so now take those lines and edit them into the movie and just have a still image of Casey Wilson there.

[Paul Scheer]

You across from the. Whoever that guy is. The arbiter with the MacBook.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

You against him would have been great scene. Funny, charming. It would have been great. Let's go to.

[June Diane Raphael]

Is there any world. We will go to the audience, please. Is there any world in which she could have continued her acting career?

[Casey Wilson]

I've thought that so many times.

[June Diane Raphael]

No.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[Paul Scheer]

June, you heard my story about being on the set of the League when Christy Cavallari came to set.

[Casey Wilson]

I mean, but what if it wasn't on suits? What if we went up like, Nicole Kidman flew after Tom Cruise or if we really lifted. You don't think she could have done.

[Paul Scheer]

Hold on, let's find out why.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Like, here's the thing.

[Paul Scheer]

Hold on, hold on.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Grace Kelly stopped acting, but after her.

[Casey Wilson]

Whole thing was like, I will not lose me. I'm giving up acting.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes.

[June Diane Raphael]

But I just feel like there had to be some show that she could shoot in London.

[Casey Wilson]

It's not about locations.

[June Diane Raphael]

Oh, wow.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you think. Do you think. I don't think she gave up acting to not live in Vancouver anymore. Although. I get it. Fuck you, Vancouver.

[Paul Scheer]

I feel like she.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's right. Shit. Coo.

[Paul Scheer]

June. June, as you know, a good actress has to get lost in the part. And Meghan knew that she would no longer be. No longer be an actress. She would be Meghan Markle and everything would be scrutinized. And you'd be like, oh, this is Meghan Markle in Mission Impossible series. Is there like, not, you know, Elisa von Stroh, whatever, that character.

[June Diane Raphael]

But do you. If you marry into the royal family. I guess this is my question of, like, are they just tourist items? Or is their role. Can she not.

[Casey Wilson]

They take on human rights issues.

[June Diane Raphael]

I understand the ambassadorship, but can they not play characters for fear of saying something like political or something that would reflect poorly done.

[Casey Wilson]

It's.

[Paul Scheer]

They had to Cancel their vacation this year. Their, like, getaway. I did this research after the film because of the paparazzi. I mean, we saw that one. Paparazzi. His face is on the bottom of.

[June Diane Raphael]

A lot of paparazzi.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Just like your very dear friend Kristin Cavallari. We get it.

[June Diane Raphael]

Did I work Christian Cavallari?

[Paul Scheer]

No, not technically, but I was there on the same day.

[Casey Wilson]

Can't believe your trailer is.

[Paul Scheer]

I was there on the same day that she worked. Did I ever see her face? No, but we were there on the same day. Could it have been a big dog that knocked my trailer?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Maybe.

[Paul Scheer]

But we were there on the same day.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No, I did not. I don't think I was in that episode.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank God.

[Paul Scheer]

But I will say that Meghan Markle did do.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

If Meghan Markle had been in a scene of the League with Rafi, she would not be the princess.

[June Diane Raphael]

Honestly, that's.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I think that is somehow just true and. I don't know.

[Casey Wilson]

No truer words have ever been said.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Just because if my character's in the scene, stuff is happening that would preclude her from being in the palace.

[Paul Scheer]

The scene that she's in on the League is in the scene called Vaginal Hubris. That's her big scene where it was just sort of like. That's the scene that she's in.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But this is before, right? This is not. This is not. Yeah, this is. Okay. Okay.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah.

[June Diane Raphael]

This is way before.

[Casey Wilson]

Okay, let's go after.

[Paul Scheer]

Let's go to the audience here. All right. Who has a question?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Be prepared.

[Paul Scheer]

You'll have to ask it in a British accent because I'm a Clippers.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And you can say, no, you gotta do it.

[Paul Scheer]

I'm a Clippers fan. I'm gonna go to this gentleman in a Clippers jersey if you need to. Sir, can you just try your best, worst British accent? Just whatever you think it sounds like I'm down with. Okay, here. All right, hold on. All right, here we go first.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, thank you so much. I don't know.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, hold on.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The minute somebody says this is for you, should be your cue to walk away. Sir, hold out your hand and take whatever they're trying to give you.

[Paul Scheer]

I'm gonna put this here on the stage.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Keep it safe. Put your fingerprints all over it. Great.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, sir, you're name and your question.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

My name is Sway. My name is Sway.

[Paul Scheer]

Great. Oh, that was great. That was beautiful.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Even more concern. Yeah. We made line friends earlier. We met somebody that's coming to the next show. She said that she knew the producer for this movie and the trainer for the first lion that the. Yeah, that gets. When he.

[June Diane Raphael]

Listening.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

When he.

[Paul Scheer]

When he swats away the gun. Yeah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

The trainer misread the script and thought the lion was supposed to, like, bat it away. So he trained a lion to bat it away. The gun. So he trained the lion to swat the right gun.

[Paul Scheer]

So when the gun goes up, the lion essentially attacks.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes. She'll be here the next show.

[Paul Scheer]

Purple hair. Well, I feel like that you've told the story, so. But no one would. No one.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's what's crazy. Oh, that's crazy for a number of reasons. By the way, reading the script, when.

[Paul Scheer]

You'Re working with lyrics, if you train.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Lions to swat guns away, it wouldn't be bad. Wouldn't be a bad idea. Poachers, beware. These lions know what's up. They're gonna swat those rifles away.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, ma'am, your name. Your question in the best British accent you can muster. And no commenting on it. Just commit to it.

[Casey Wilson]

Hello, my name is Britt. So I have a question about the racist pin that was worn by Michael of Kent or whatever. But the other thing is that June, you were asking about Jeff Bezos. Bad texting. Are you aware of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker's bold phone calls about where he was like, can I be a Tampax for you?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yes, that's true.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank you for reminding me.

[Paul Scheer]

It is going to be tough to top that observation.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's a particular thing to want to be. That's like. Like, that's like. That's a whole thing.

[Casey Wilson]

I truly put that from my brain in my.

[June Diane Raphael]

I stored that in. In such a dark corner. That is to say I had no access to.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That is. That is.

[Casey Wilson]

There was no key to that door.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That is. Oh, no, no dry British wit.

[Casey Wilson]

You did.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, all right.

[June Diane Raphael]

I guess maybe he. I'm not even going to go into it.

[Paul Scheer]

You're going to justify Prince Charles?

[Casey Wilson]

No, maybe he. What?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He.

[June Diane Raphael]

I was gonna say maybe.

[Casey Wilson]

Go ahead. Go ahead.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Maybe he.

[Paul Scheer]

What?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you want me to say it?

[June Diane Raphael]

No, Maybe it was sort of a non menstruating champ.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah. It was just something that was inside of. He wants inside of you.

[Casey Wilson]

I think that's what he. I don't think he meant like, I want to help you out while you're on your period.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't think he was saying, I hope it's a heavy, slow day. I think he was just saying, I'm jealous of the thing inside your vagina.

[Casey Wilson]

I don't think he was like, I'll provide a super plus absorbency.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't think. I don't think he was saying, I have a plastic applicator.

[Casey Wilson]

Let me lend you a hand.

[June Diane Raphael]

I didn't want to say it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I'm prepared to receive the schluffing off of your uterine lining and the blood that carries this month's egg away. Give it to me. Lap, lap, lap.

[June Diane Raphael]

Crazy thing is that she was also. I don't think she was, like, in a menopausal state at that time, but she was.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I hope not, because at that point. Why are you using tampons?

[June Diane Raphael]

I don't know.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Just out of habit.

[Casey Wilson]

She has toxic shock syndrome.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I don't need it. But I like that monthly routine.

[Casey Wilson]

I'm a per. I'm a creature.

[Paul Scheer]

If that is on record, why wasn't that in the movie?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Ugh.

[Paul Scheer]

I also like the prince. Didn't Prince Charles say, when he met Meghan Markle, get her a gin and tonic? And then he was like, what do you want? She's a dirty martini. But like, I thought it was odd that he ordered her a drink on first meeting her. I didn't know if that was a thing.

[June Diane Raphael]

That was supposed to be like, you're. You're in Britain now.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh.

[Paul Scheer]

She's like, nope, dirty martini for me.

[June Diane Raphael]

I think Harry.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Harry says, I'll get you a dirty martini. Because he's meant to show that he knows what her drink is.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And that she. Exactly. She gets to have her own drink.

[Paul Scheer]

Great. Your name, Your question.

[Casey Wilson]

Hello there. My name is Christina.

[Paul Scheer]

Awesome.

[June Diane Raphael]

I forgot about the accents for a second.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No, that's a real. That's a real British person. Can't you tell?

[June Diane Raphael]

I just assumed.

[Casey Wilson]

So, like, my question was when the bodyguard came into the restaurant and then Megan asked him, like, oh, what's the emergency? And like, the only thing you could think of is London Bridge is falling down.

[Paul Scheer]

Like, he had never thought through the next part of that.

[Casey Wilson]

And don't forget that was a callback on the Runway.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh.

[Paul Scheer]

But I think when you're looking for a personal bodyguard, you're looking for someone who is slow in a moment like that, not quick witted, and who falls.

[Casey Wilson]

Asleep on his steering wheel. While you're up all night. He was like, while you're up all.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Night not fucking in a restaurant? Like, why didn't they leave the go to a different destination?

[June Diane Raphael]

He kept her waiting for 40 minutes. I'm not going to a second location.

[Paul Scheer]

We are going to stay here for A second. Because I've informed that you also have a story. All right, so you're double dipping. It's got to be great. Here we go.

[Casey Wilson]

All right, so I have cousins that live in London, and my cousin's husband has actually, actually met Prince Charles. So the backstory is that he was in NATO and, like, in Africa, actually helping refugees, like, you know, diving in from, like, guerrilla warfare. And then so he was actually presented with a medal from Prince Charles and all he said was a comment about the weather.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Whoa.

[June Diane Raphael]

Prince Charles is a psychopath. That man is a fucking psychopath.

[Casey Wilson]

Yeah, he is.

[June Diane Raphael]

He's not a well person. He's not.

[Paul Scheer]

Great story. You did a good double dip there. Okay, here we go. Yes. Your. Your name, your question.

[June Diane Raphael]

My name's Candy, by the way. This is the second time I've had to do a British accent and the second time I've seen the show. But you didn't work on your accent between.

[Paul Scheer]

June Slam.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

All right, here we go.

[June Diane Raphael]

It was pretty great. Did the person playing the Queen, like, just watch, like, Cinderella and watch the fairy godmother was like, like, got it. Let's do it. It wasn't a great portrayal.

[Paul Scheer]

I felt like it was more jaunty. Like, I don't feel like that queen moves ever.

[June Diane Raphael]

Because this was paid for by the Queen.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It must have been. Although it was also very, at times anti monarchy. You know, like, there were elements of it that were definitely anti monarchy because.

[June Diane Raphael]

There'S no way to be pro monarchy at this point.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I agree.

[June Diane Raphael]

There's no. So I would love to hear from. If anyone in the audience has any intel on the Queen's husband.

[Paul Scheer]

Anyone?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, what are we doing right now?

[Casey Wilson]

No, I looked at.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Are we actively turning into a true crime podcast? If anybody would like to make baseless accusations on a podcast.

[Casey Wilson]

I asked Philip and her. I looked up today on Google. Brother and sister or married.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah, just. What's going on? I. He's alive and well.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, hold on. Here we go.

[Casey Wilson]

They're third cousins.

[June Diane Raphael]

He's 97 years old. Say that one more time.

[Casey Wilson]

Sorry.

[June Diane Raphael]

He's 97 years old. Is this a real accent?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Where are you from? Is this a real accent?

[June Diane Raphael]

Yes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, boy.

[June Diane Raphael]

Okay.

[Casey Wilson]

Do it in American.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah, you gotta flip it.

[June Diane Raphael]

So, like, two days ago, he was driving around.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Well done.

[June Diane Raphael]

Two days ago, he was driving his car around Sandringham, the estate and crashed into someone else's car that had a family with a nine month old baby in it. He rolled his car like they were injured. He was fine.

[Casey Wilson]

Two Days later, he's in a new.

[June Diane Raphael]

Car back on the road.

[Casey Wilson]

That's my intimate 97 driving around in a Range Rover.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

To be fair.

[Casey Wilson]

To be fair.

[Paul Scheer]

Hold on. That was great.

[June Diane Raphael]

Can we ask her one more question?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He is the.

[Paul Scheer]

Oh, we got.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I will say, when I had him as a Lyft driver in London, I gave him five stars. He was very good. He just wants to talk to people.

[Paul Scheer]

Anyone else have any more intel? Intel, intel, intel, intel. All right, there are some hands trying to sneak in some intel. All right, back to.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Did you have a follow up question?

[June Diane Raphael]

Well, my follow up question is like, what is your relationship to the Royal Family? Just in general.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yeah. If you're British and want to talk, we'd love to talk to you.

[June Diane Raphael]

How do you feel about Di. How do you feel about the boys? Just Kate, Megan. I don't know them personally, of course. I would never expect that.

[Casey Wilson]

I would never expect that.

[June Diane Raphael]

So when they use the term family, they don't mean that you're all related over there in one big. No, they sort of don't massively affect everyday life. Sometimes when they get married, we get a day off. Which wasn't the case with this wedding, though. It was not the case.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No.

[June Diane Raphael]

We didn't get a bank holiday.

[Casey Wilson]

I feel like we got a day off.

[June Diane Raphael]

I think it was on a Saturday.

[Paul Scheer]

Maybe it was a weekend wedding. Yeah.

[Casey Wilson]

I'm very surprised that the cast system exists. It's so strong, fair that people aren't really friends with different casts. And yet here comes Meg and here Kate as a commoner. Her parents own a party store. So, like when Kate says it's amusing.

[June Diane Raphael]

And please, when Kate says to Meghan in the film, like, us commoners have to stick together. So Kate was technically a commoner, but not in the sense that she wasn't like from a council estate or anything. Her parents were still millionaires. Like, she was still very like. And yet they were still hawking shit they still tried to make a dirty dollar off of.

[Casey Wilson]

They were self made, though, right? Self made.

[June Diane Raphael]

Kate's family. Yeah.

[Casey Wilson]

I believe.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm not 100% sure, but also I believe that Kate had gone to Saint Andrews, the university that William went to, because she wanted. She was known as someone. There were a lot of girls that went there because they wanted to become a princess. And then there were the girls who went to suits. Much like suits are there.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's how you do it. You go to certain universities or certain schools or you get on suits two ways. Characters welcome. Goodbye, princesses.

[Paul Scheer]

Now Am I wrong? Am I wrong in saying I thought that the gossip was. Ooh, gossip. Yeah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Turning into a real gossip show that.

[Paul Scheer]

Meghan was still kind of married when she met Harry? No.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay, Done with that.

[June Diane Raphael]

That's not the Meghan I know.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

All right? The only. I thought the actors were so good. The only line I had trouble with was when somebody goes, is he sexy? And she goes, hells yeah. I was like, that is the line you have. Have not sold me on everything else. Flawless.

[June Diane Raphael]

Flawless.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Flawless. She was. They both.

[Casey Wilson]

I'd like to see her in a lot. A lot more things.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yes.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

She actually. The actress. I will say. Sorry to interrupt you all. The actress who played Meghan Markle in this move made for TV movie is now engaged to the royal prince.

[June Diane Raphael]

They met on the set of suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

They met on suit.

[June Diane Raphael]

Separately.

[Paul Scheer]

They met on the set of the set of suits.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

They met on the fake set of suits. On the making of this movie, the crown prince of Finland was doing a studio tour, saw the girl playing Meghan Markle, fell in love with her.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, sir, your name. Your question. Hello, my name is Teddy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So there was a point in the film where Prince. Prince William was talking about Prince Harry Potts wanting people. I wasn't really sure how many people he's bought Swannered and what exactly that may mean.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah, I mean, I have a theory, but I'd like to hear your theories up there.

[June Diane Raphael]

What was the question exactly?

[Paul Scheer]

The question is like, what does it mean when he.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Botswana someone like to sweep a girl off to Botswana to impress her. I think is the. The interview.

[Paul Scheer]

I thought they kind of have like a first date to kind of get laid, right?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah, that's what it sounds like.

[June Diane Raphael]

I mean, he doesn't have to take them to Botswana to seal the deal.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

But it sounds like that's maybe what he's up to.

[Casey Wilson]

That's his name.

[June Diane Raphael]

That's very nice.

[Casey Wilson]

I don't think it's very nice.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Or it's colonial insanity. Yes, it's wild. He's like, you know what? Guess what? Guess. I've got a great idea for a second date. He's like, I have a great idea for a second date. Don't worry, we'll have served. Servants will stand atop a hill and hold a lion. What's going on? It is wild.

[June Diane Raphael]

Prince Harry was known as quite the party.

[Casey Wilson]

That's why I couldn't believe he was stuck inside for those five days. I felt claustrophobic for him. I'm like, this man wants to party. Yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

Yet he didn't complain. A true hero.

[Casey Wilson]

What a man. Your name, Your question, Holly, what did.

[June Diane Raphael]

You think about the choice when they.

[Casey Wilson]

Were dancing at the wedding and they played crazy? Have it written down.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I wrote that down, too. There was no way. Is that a British thing?

[Casey Wilson]

Is that a good wedding song in.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

England, a royal wedding.

[Casey Wilson]

It was so strange. Also, there was about seven people at Pippa's wedding. And did you notice?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Because.

[Casey Wilson]

Extras and remember, you know, obviously Pippa's wedding, everyone was. Oh, no, no, no. That was their wedding. We were looking at her ass.

[June Diane Raphael]

That was at Kate's wedding.

[Casey Wilson]

Okay. But they didn't bring the camera lower on the woman playing Pippa. And I felt like, let's see. Well, that's. That's what we know of Pippa.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What?

[Paul Scheer]

Harass.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[Casey Wilson]

I'm sorry. I was. It's like we're seeing all.

[June Diane Raphael]

They're so into details.

[Casey Wilson]

Like, Prince William has a bald spot. Pippa has a nice ass. Let's see it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yep. Let's get in there.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah, let's see.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Let's get in there.

[June Diane Raphael]

I totally agree.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you think that was part of the casting process and should it have been?

[Casey Wilson]

Yes. And.

[June Diane Raphael]

So was that invite situation at Pippa's wedding the reason why Kate and Meghan don't get along?

[Casey Wilson]

No ring, no bring.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, is that what's suggested?

[Casey Wilson]

I think Kate turned on her when everybody went crazy for me, and that was it.

[June Diane Raphael]

Wow.

[Paul Scheer]

I was also impressed with how quickly Meghan Markle went from hanging out in the bedroom to appearing at that wedding. Like, what do you think the real time of that wedding turnaround time was?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Pretty exciting.

[Casey Wilson]

Very quick.

[June Diane Raphael]

In real life, I believe they were together for six months.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Before the wedding.

[June Diane Raphael]

Before the wedding. Before the wedding. It was not. I mean, is this before Papas going to our local British own wedding? They were not together for that long.

[Casey Wilson]

And I think she's pregnant at her wedding. Right.

[June Diane Raphael]

In real life, thousand percent.

[Casey Wilson]

Gotta be, guys.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

So you think they have unprotected sex?

[Paul Scheer]

Botswana'd, man.

[Casey Wilson]

She got Botswanad at 11:59.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Guys, when you go home tonight, just be like, I'm gonna Botswana you tonight.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, here we go. Let's see. We got this last one. Here we go. A lot of pressure on you. Your name, your question.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Hello, my name is Nathan.

[Paul Scheer]

I have a quick question and a very quick comment.

[June Diane Raphael]

Let it fall away.

[Paul Scheer]

The question is, did. Did Prince Harry write his own dialogue?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

He seemed like he was building his own Batman story at a certain point.

[Paul Scheer]

Like Alfred was bringing him the bad news. You're partying too hard. And then the lines kept showing up.

[Casey Wilson]

Was he Lion Man?

[Paul Scheer]

I don't know.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

You're not wrong. It is structurally very similar to Batman. Like his mother is killed in crime Tunnel and he is inspired by the Lion. The lion comes to him and is like, I will watch out for you. I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into some sort of lion based vigilante. It's not. It is not.

[Paul Scheer]

There has been that lion vigilante solving all those crimes in London lately.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Rawr. That would be tough to say that.

[Casey Wilson]

Their big thing with Diana was like, you can be naughty but don't get caught.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah.

[Casey Wilson]

And then they're like, yeah, you can dress up as Nazi stuff, but don't get caught. Strange.

[Paul Scheer]

Let's watch that scene for a second because I want to just see.

[Casey Wilson]

This is Diana exactly like.

[June Diane Raphael]

Quite a likeness.

[Paul Scheer]

Highness.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

These are for the Queen's meeting with the privy council. Oh, such a shame. They look delicious.

[Paul Scheer]

But perhaps if you're feeling peckish, we.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Could arrange for something to be brought up.

[Paul Scheer]

A hot dog.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

A hot dog.

[Paul Scheer]

I like that. They made her like a hot dog. Which seems so American.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I think that's for the kid, isn't it? Isn't that for him later?

[Paul Scheer]

No, he's eating these snacks.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, okay.

[June Diane Raphael]

So here's the thing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And hot dogs come back again late. Later.

[June Diane Raphael]

They do.

[Casey Wilson]

But why won't they let her have food?

[June Diane Raphael]

Well, she is nursing.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Do you think the hot. Did you think Big hot dog underwrote this movie?

[Paul Scheer]

Hot dogs in bed with the monarchy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Did writing lifetime movies did Hebrew national finance this movie in partnership with the Queen presented by the royal.

[Paul Scheer]

You make us, we'll make you look good. Handshake, handshake, handshake.

[June Diane Raphael]

She is nursing a raging eating disorder during this period of her life. Right, right. Of course. They so.

[Casey Wilson]

So they want to remember.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm a little hazy on my princess die.

[Casey Wilson]

She was bulimic.

[June Diane Raphael]

I know she was bulimic, but I. I know that.

[Paul Scheer]

Wow, you got shut down again. 40 minutes late. Again.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Again.

[Casey Wilson]

I know how much everyone knows.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, June, did you know the thing that Prince Charles, when he was like wooing her, he said, I want to be a hot dog in your mouth.

[June Diane Raphael]

I didn't know that. I did know that when she was.

[Casey Wilson]

Because I know I'll come right back up again.

[June Diane Raphael]

I do remember when she was pregnant, I think with William, she threw herself down a flight of stairs.

[Casey Wilson]

I know.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Isn't that season one of the Staircase case?

[June Diane Raphael]

She was deeply unhappy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's too far. You guys. How dare you.

[Paul Scheer]

This is an audience of owls.

[June Diane Raphael]

They were all of this is to say they were watching her every move.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[June Diane Raphael]

And so, yeah, I don't think they would give her treats. I think they were watching every single thing she did.

[Casey Wilson]

But wouldn't they want her to eat?

[June Diane Raphael]

No, but she was under so much pressure to be thin and the way she looked was scrutinized.

[Casey Wilson]

They wanted her to be thin.

[June Diane Raphael]

They wanted her to be very thin.

[Casey Wilson]

And she was playing off that notion knowing her son could steal food. So strange. Okay, all right.

[Paul Scheer]

Well, obviously we had an opinion about this movie, but there are people out there with another opinion. It's now time for second opinions.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Second opinion. Prince Charles is a tampon. Second opinion. Second opinion.

[Paul Scheer]

Give it up for Mariah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Mariah. I like keeping it short.

[June Diane Raphael]

I did too.

[Paul Scheer]

Mariah saw the need, came up a song on the spot. Awesome job. Well, there are many second opinions about this film on Amazon and I'll get into them right here. And they all are wonderful, really. So I'm just going to read you some of the highlights. This one is from Queen Amazon. It is titled Remarkable. What makes this a five star movie is the Remarkable again. They use it again. Resemblances to the real life royals and the unroyal cast of characters, especially Meghan and Prince Diana Princess. I also enjoyed the cinematography and sets when portraying the scenes in Africa. Who knows, it might have been filmed in the San Diego Zoo, but I found it enjoyable. 5 stars.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Can you imagine looking at those scenes and being like, looks like the San Diego Zoo.

[Paul Scheer]

This is the other one that I really love. This is titled simply Romantic. The writer is so Wisconsin customer. And it was. I watched this movie when it was on Lifetime. I purchased the streaming version so I could watch it anywhere. I don't know if this movie is based on actual events, but I don't care. Five stars.

[Casey Wilson]

I don't care.

[Paul Scheer]

This one from Valiant Son titled Great Story. Wife loves it. This is my wife's favorite video. She watches it several times a week. Five stars. Several times.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I wish you could reply to that person because I would reply, your wife wants to leave you.

[Paul Scheer]

By the way, that was written December 31, 2018. So on New Year's Eve, just a handful of days ago, this guy's like, I gotta get on here and talk to someone.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Maybe there's a support group for this. She's just auditioned for Suits. Should I be concerned?

[Casey Wilson]

This is Katherine Heigl's husband.

[Paul Scheer]

This, this one's written by Elvir Jones, another Kind of interesting watching thing here. Simply titled Harry and Meghan. And it says, I really like the movie. I watch it every night. It relaxes me. Five stars every night.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wow.

[Paul Scheer]

There you go, people.

[Casey Wilson]

Wow.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I mean, what if you watched this movie every night?

[Casey Wilson]

Every night when I watched it on an airplane and I had a very special person sitting behind me who saw me watch it. And it was. Saw me furiously taking notes. And that was Michelle Pfeiffer.

[Paul Scheer]

What? Who just got on Instagram.

[Casey Wilson]

Thank God.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Just to rag on you for watching this movie.

[Paul Scheer]

She's like, this is what I.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait.

[Paul Scheer]

So she saw.

[Casey Wilson]

She's sitting behind me and I noticed her. And then I see her get up, like demurely with her scarf. She was so beautiful. And I literally feel her then turn and see her. Like, it's shocking.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's like watching someone just, you know, watch porn on an airplane. It's like, keep that to yourself, lady.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Which is not cool, apparently.

[Casey Wilson]

Oh, God.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

If they're gonna give you the wifi.

[Paul Scheer]

Jason, would you recommend this movie?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

You know, you know, I don't. I don't know that I would. It is not very good. It is actually patently absurd. But there is something enjoyable about it in a weird way. I didn't. You know, I wish it was shorter. If it was a one hour movie, I'd be like, yes.

[Paul Scheer]

If there's a one hour cut out there, you're recommending it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

If Topher Grace wants to do a re edit of this, if he's looking for something else to cut down, this might be it.

[Paul Scheer]

June.

[June Diane Raphael]

You know, I think I would have been happier and much more satisfied with just a deep Google search, you know? Cause it did.

[Paul Scheer]

Like, if you spent 85 minutes Googling, you feel like you could have gotten a better story.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yes.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Would you want a. What about a movie in which the movie, like Searching or one of those movies. The movie is just a computer screen and all it is is somebody doing very deep dive research about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Would that be enough of a movie.

[Casey Wilson]

For you to watch?

[June Diane Raphael]

Because I still, by the way, I'm not done with my Googling.

[Casey Wilson]

I haven't even started.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's like I have barely scratched the surface.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, see, that's so interesting. I will forget all of this tonight.

[June Diane Raphael]

No.

[Paul Scheer]

But yet this will be the only movie that June will ever remember from this show.

[June Diane Raphael]

Yeah. So I will go.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

What?

[June Diane Raphael]

I have to. What's on my list of things to do?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, God, there's a list.

[June Diane Raphael]

I want to. First of all, I need to understand what's going on with the Queen's husband and get some.

[Paul Scheer]

And he's retired. Right?

[Casey Wilson]

You just need to get your buried.

[Paul Scheer]

Is he retired? Okay.

[June Diane Raphael]

I just need to right the ship a little bit for myself and understand him and their connection. I also need to understand who this stylist is that put them together.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, that's interesting.

[Casey Wilson]

Because that person, I know all about her.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, you do, do?

[Casey Wilson]

Yes, yes. She was her maid of honor.

[June Diane Raphael]

Can you share anything?

[Casey Wilson]

I mean, I'm your best friend.

[June Diane Raphael]

How does la stylist know?

[Casey Wilson]

She's not la stylist? No, she's British.

[June Diane Raphael]

She's part of the family.

[Casey Wilson]

She's part of, like, Canadian. The upper crust of Canada.

[June Diane Raphael]

I didn't know they had.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

That's not a real thing. That's not. You said the upper crust of Canada. I just want to make sure that's not a real thing. Unless you're referring to the ice crust of Manitoba, there is no upper crust of Canada. That's right. Canada Slam.

[Casey Wilson]

Go to her Instagram.

[June Diane Raphael]

I feel like maybe you can't speak plainly right now, but I would. Canadians can for some information.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, Casey, you cried. Oh, you cried five times. Would you recommend this movie?

[Casey Wilson]

No. The one thing I'll say in defense of myself is that, you know, when you're on an airplane, you are an open poor.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

This is what I call Sisterhood of the traveling pants 2 theory.

[Paul Scheer]

I call it the chef theory. I heard, though, yesterday, the reason why we cry on airplanes is because the oxygen in the plane is more processed. So you're just prone to crying more.

[Casey Wilson]

I felt like my eyes were just leaking, and so I can't really connect it to the movie. Maybe it was Michelle, you know, behind me. I'm not sure, but I can't recommend it.

[Paul Scheer]

Okay.

[Casey Wilson]

I can't recommend it enough.

[Paul Scheer]

I would say that while I enjoyed the watching of it and it went down easy and smooth like a classic diner fare, it's not something that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It went down easy and smooth like a classic diner fair.

[June Diane Raphael]

First of all, what does that mean, diner fair?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Like, gives you any Amazon reviews? Like a stack of pancakes. What is this?

[Paul Scheer]

Let me.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Like a bacon cheddar cheeseburger and home fries.

[Casey Wilson]

Onions, onions.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Smooth. This movie goes down.

[Paul Scheer]

Look, let me put it plainly for you. This movie's like a hot dog. Sure, it's great.

[Casey Wilson]

Everyone loves hot dog shoved up Camilla's china.

[Paul Scheer]

No, but I feel the same way. It was a fine watch. It wasn't torturous to get through, but there's Nothing in it that you must see, except for this scene, which I will now play, which is being biracial and being a ginger, just so you can just hear it.

[June Diane Raphael]

People always ask me, what are you?

[Paul Scheer]

When I say, I'm an actor.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm a blogger. I'm a decent cook, a firm believer in the effectiveness of a handwritten note. What they mean is, what are you, black or white? It's like they just can't wrap their heads around anything in between.

[Casey Wilson]

And I couldn't either as a kid.

[June Diane Raphael]

You know, especially after the divorce, I.

[Paul Scheer]

Had to be two different people.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

How old were you? 6.

[June Diane Raphael]

Getting shuttled between two worlds.

[Paul Scheer]

My parents really tried to help.

[Casey Wilson]

I remember one Christmas, my dad put together two sets of dolls, one black and one white, to make a little blended family. That was a crime. I mean, I'm proud of it now.

[Paul Scheer]

That I can't just be put into a box.

[June Diane Raphael]

And at the time, it was.

[Casey Wilson]

It was really, really hard.

[June Diane Raphael]

Anyway, I'm sorry if I'm getting too serious for you.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

No, no, no, no. You want to talk serious? Try being a ginger in England.

[Paul Scheer]

Ginger?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

A redhead.

[Casey Wilson]

Ah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah. Okay. Why are the Harry Potter films so unrealistic?

[Paul Scheer]

Why?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Because a ginger kid has two friends. What did the ginger make for dinner? Reservations for one. Okay, last one. What do gingers look forward to later in life?

[Paul Scheer]

I don't know. What?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Gray hair, obviously.

[June Diane Raphael]

I'm sorry.

[Casey Wilson]

I feel like I really, really shouldn't laugh at that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's kind of funny, except people used to say I couldn't really be my father's son because of this. This is from the Spencer's line, which, by the way, is older than the Windsors. So technically, my dad married up.

[Paul Scheer]

Wow. I didn't. I didn't realize he addressed the rumor in the thing. I was too furiously writing it down.

[June Diane Raphael]

What did he say? I'm sorry?

[Paul Scheer]

He says from the Spencer line, his dad married up. He goes, this red hair has been giving me some issues. He did some propaganda for the monarchy again. Don't believe it, June.

[June Diane Raphael]

I have trouble with it. I have trouble with it. He just looks so much like. What's his face? James Hewitt. It's troubling.

[Paul Scheer]

All right, let's get into it. Jason, wanna unplug anything?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

I will say that the movie that I'm in, the Long Dumb Road that Casey is also in and is fantastic in, is available on. On all streaming platforms. So you can get it on your itunes, your Amazon, your whatnots, and then.

[June Diane Raphael]

There are no parts for some of your other friends. In it.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Oh, yeah.

[Paul Scheer]

What's up? What's up?

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Actually, there is still a part in it.

[Paul Scheer]

Whoa.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

We have not finished actual film.

[Paul Scheer]

Tony Revelry Locked in.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

And that Tony is. He's in it. But we are considering a flash forward.

[Paul Scheer]

Where I like this.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

It's. Tony's a little older and you could be perfect for that.

[Paul Scheer]

You looked at both of us. All right.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Yeah, I'll say that. And then, and then, you know, this podcast, this podcast, how did this get made?

[Casey Wilson]

I just want them to know it's, you know, it's something you're part of.

[Paul Scheer]

You do you do this? Like, keep on listening. What's your favorite worst movie? J. And like, yeah.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Ooh. One, two, three.

[June Diane Raphael]

So the fifth season of Grace and Frankie is now streaming on Netflix, so please check that out.

[Casey Wilson]

I am in a show with Paul Scheer called Black Monday that is on Showtime with Don Cheadle and Andrew Rannells and Regina Hall.

[Paul Scheer]

And you're super funny in it.

[Casey Wilson]

And so are you.

[Paul Scheer]

And that's. That's Sundays at 10:00pm didn't get as much applause as the other two things. No big deal.

[Casey Wilson]

But that's because Paul were playing this in the future and it hasn't come out yet.

[Paul Scheer]

Yeah, so that's right. Okay. That's what it has to be.

[Casey Wilson]

And I co host the podcast Bitch Sesh with Danielle Schneider.

[Paul Scheer]

And then in addition to telling you to continue watching Black Monday, which you've been enjoying for the last couple weeks.

[Casey Wilson]

You'Ve been loving it.

[Paul Scheer]

I want to also say that if you're a comic book fan, I am co writing a new series for Marvel, taking over the reins for the fantastically talented Donny Cates on Cosmic Ghost Rider. So if you're buying comic books, tell your comic book wholesaler, like, buy a book that I'm writing about comic. I don't know how it works technically, but just go to your comic book shop and be like, yeah, order more of those and then buy a lot of them. And then I'll have to come and reimburse you. Like, you're like, why did I buy.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Wait, you're reimbursing people for these?

[Paul Scheer]

It's a weird. I guess I got it.

[Casey Wilson]

Like, but if you buy them, you're.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Not even buying them back. You're just reimbursing them. They get to keep the copies anyway.

[Paul Scheer]

Cosmic Ghost Rider comes out this March, a six episode series. Very excited to do that. Hope we don't mess it up. Thank you all for coming. A big thanks to Avril Halle, who cut all these amazing clips, recommended this movie. Nate Kiley, who did all this amazing research. July up the booth. Cody in the back. Everybody here at Argo, Casey Wilson. Thank you, everybody. Good night.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Good night. This is the sound of second chances.

[Casey Wilson]

It's more than a bowl of pet food. It's nutrition that changes lives.

[June Diane Raphael]

It's the sound of healthy, happy pets.

[Casey Wilson]

Not just in your home, but in.

[Paul Scheer]

Shelters across the country.

[June Diane Raphael]

Because feeding your pet hills helps feed shelter pets. Science did that.

[Jason Mantzoukas]

Hills Pet Nutrition.

Texas Pete. Oh, my gosh. I love Texas Pete. It is the hot sauce that allows you to sauce like you mean it. All right. Texas Pete sauce is packed with bold and balanced flavor. I've loved Texas Pete for years. When I got a box of their stuff at my house, I was so psyched because what I love about their hot sauce is their tanginess. Okay? You can use it on anything, and you're going to try every flavor. I mean, you got the original, which is great. That's fermented peppers. It's a special blend. Then you got the hotter hot sauce, which is three times hotter than the original. And believe me, it is not for the faint of heart. Then you got Sabor by Texas Pete, which adds an authentic Mexican flavor. And I got to tell you, that might be my favorite. Next to their dust dry seasoning, which matches the flavor of the original hot sauce in a flavorful dry rub. It is so, so great. Texas Pete sauce like you mean it.
