Ireland: is your go-to karaoke song, Do You Really Want to Hurt Me? ⁓ So is George's. ⁓ Roll music.
Katie: Hello and welcome to another episode of Butterscotch Rewatch. I am Katie the GenX Mom and with me is... ⁓
Ireland: and the Gen Z daughter.
Katie: And we are going to go over The Wedding Singer with Adam Sandler, Andrew Barrymore. Finally, this would be Ireland's favorite movie of all time. She can pretty much recite it from start to finish. ⁓ And we felt that it was time. I literally texted her, it's
Ireland: Yay! Finally. of all time. Yeah. It's like so bad because this is a movie that we can't watch with other people. We literally put it on when they all came out over for my birthday party and we were just reciting the entire movie like before the scenes would even play and I could just read the room that everybody was just like, can we just go? Like, this is so bad, like get away from us. But I finally got the text from my mom literally saying, it's time. And I knew exactly what it meant.
Katie: Mm-hmm. Yeah. It is time. Alright, so let's get into it. The Wedding Singer. This was made in 1998. It does star Adam Sandler as Robbie, Drew Barrymore as Julia, Christine Taylor as Holly, Alan Covert as Sammy, and Matthew Glaive as Glenn Gullia. it takes place in 1985 and it opens up with a wedding.
Ireland: Talking. Yeah, so we open up and it's one of the best opening scenes ever. It's the You Spin Me Round song. It's just amazing. ⁓ And we meet Robbie, who is the wedding singer and he is a very sought out after wedding singer. Like he's really good at what he does. He's amazing on the mic, not just singing wise, but just like very poetic and just Overall a good vibe which you want at the wedding. ⁓ And then we also see behind Ravi is our lovely George who is honestly... a man of many talents because they play the keyboard as well as eventually will pull out a trumpet or two. ⁓ They just know how to do it. ⁓ And everybody is just having a blast. Like everybody's on the dance floor, they're running around, like the kids are running around and all of these things. ⁓ And now it's time to have the little best man speech.
Katie: clarinet. and comes stumbling up on that stage as Steve Buscemi's character who is playing the groom's brother. So of course he's going to get to give a speech. ⁓ You know, I'm, I'm, I'm really against like speeches. I really don't think there needs to be speeches at weddings. I think they're kind of like, I don't think everybody. Yes.
Ireland: Yeah. I get doing a toast. Like I get doing a toast like you're like the father of the bride or something or like I think parents like that they're more mature and can give a toast. But if you're just absolutely rocked, right? Cause a lot of weddings I've been to the wedding party has been pre-gaming pretty much the whole day, right? ⁓
Katie: Mm.
Ireland: You probably don't want those people to be giving speeches in front of your entire family and those people also like no offense. I'm

just trying to eat my plate of food. I paid I gave you $200 to be here. I want my food and my drinks.
Katie: Yeah. I just want my food. I want my food, And it's, just, don't need to hear from the, you know, like the maid of honor, the best man, the father of the bride, the father of the groom, the mother of the bride, the mother of the groom. I don't freaking care, dude. You threw this party. We get it. You love your kid. Okay, yay. They fell in love cause they're getting married. We know. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Ireland: Your second cousin twice removed. Yeah. Yeah. Right, we've been new, girl. Thanks, Carol.
Katie: Thanks. We got this. We got this. We just want to eat. We want to hit that buffet before they're out of food. Cause that's happened. If I got to get my ass up at a wedding to go to a buffet, there better be freaking food waiting for me. But sidetrack off of that, ADHD. Steve Buscemi's character stumbles up onto the stage. He's got a glass in his hand.
Ireland: Yeah, yeah true. Give me that dessert bar. ⁓ yeah. No, literally. ADHD. Good
Katie: Now the colors, this is an 80s wedding. So the bride has her, the like headbands, the like V headband with the little like crystal there and her hair is like up here and then like the veil's coming out here. They have the big pink wicker chairs that they each sit in. Their colors seem to be pink, like a light pink and a teal. Cause Steve Buscemi's outfit is a ruffly pink shirt, like a light pink shirt.
Ireland: Mm-hmm. Yeah, definitely the vibe.
Katie: He has a teal bow tie, a teal cummerbund. He's got a gray suit on. And it's just like the colors are like hideous. Player eighties. Yes. Yes.
Ireland: Yeah. i don't know. it's like easter bunny threw up on him, that's what it seems like. it just- it's not. but i get it, that was the color combo of 85, i guess.
Katie: I believe so, yeah. ⁓ So his speech is all about how his brother is better than him, basically telling his dad, like, I'm a failure. My brother's better than me. I'll never be as good as him. Right, dad? Right, dad? You know, the dad's getting more more pissed off. Yeah. And the dad's getting like pissed. Yeah. And then he like let something slip like, ⁓ remember that time we were in like Mexico? We picked up those prostitutes and like, yeah. And then
Ireland: And everyone's like, eww, pulling at the collar. They're like, ⁓ god. Bye.
Katie: Robbie, you know, comes up in like kind of, okay, buddy, okay, you're good. You're good. And like Steve Bush, I mean, he is so great. I love him. He's one of my favorite actors. He's just like, he like grabs a guitar and he's like, yeah, no lessons. That's better than everybody. It just like, just you. Yes. No lessons. Best, best guitar player ever. Oh, and you know, that was Adler. Do you know he did that just because he's great. Um,
Ireland: Yes. And he's like playing this horrible riff on the guitar and it's so odd, it's even so bad. Guess you just goofy.
Katie: Yeah, so then Robbie comes on
and he, you the bride of course is looking at the groom like prostitutes? What the hell? Like, you know, and Robbie, you know, says like, you guys are in love. You fell in love for a reason. We don't look at the past. You know, you, you know, to have something that you guys have is real. Just really fix, like fixing the problem. Like that's his job. He's, that's why he's the best wedding singer. You know, and they like, you know, like basically like make up and you know, everything's good. uh,
Ireland: I'm sorry. Yeah.
Katie: he a break. He goes, I'm gonna take a break. George is gonna take over. ⁓ And he walks off the stage ⁓ and George, love me some George, ⁓ is the character George looks like ⁓ George, ⁓ is his name? my God. Boy George, that's ⁓ my gosh. ⁓
Ireland: Just boy George, right? Yeah. I was like, I don't know where you're
Katie: ⁓ I'm getting my Gen X card taken away. ⁓ boy. Yeah, my brain's not working today. Yeah, Gen Z will save me. Thank you. Boy George looks exactly like Boy George. He's got the hair, the makeup, the hat. ⁓ perfect. Yeah, the jacket. And George is gonna sing, You Really Want To Hurt Me? Because that's the song that George knows. Yeah. Zoe.
Ireland: It's okay, Gen Z will save you! yeah like karma chameleon era like perfect culture club yeah same song and when we say the song that george knows it is the only song that george knows
Katie: this song George knows. Yeah, he knows no other song or they know no other song. ⁓ And ⁓ so Robbie goes over to his friend Sammy, who's checking out the new waitress. ⁓ This is Julia, who is a Drew Barrymore. And he says he's going to give it to her and that if she's half as easy as her cousin Holly, who is Christine Taylor, that he can close this in like a week. And then as he says that,
Ireland: Yes. Mm-hmm.
Katie: She has a tray and she turns around and she hits a man in the head with the tray and he goes, Robbie goes, good luck with that buddy.
Ireland: Yeah, good luck with that, So we cut to Julia and she's heading into the kitchen and she's like, okay, I really need some more prime rib. Like the prime rib is flying off. Nobody wants the fish. And of course the chef who is like a very, what's the way I want to say this? Yeah, he just like is exactly what you think that he would look like in like, he just like.
Katie: Dirty looking scummy man?
Ireland: I don't even know, I'm trying to-
Katie: Like he'd be from the Billy Goat Tavern shtick, like the cheeseburger cheeseburger. Like he's like greasy. He's got like, he's got a Frankie said relaxed shirt. I think it just says relax. Yeah. And it's all dirty and he's all, yeah.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, he's just like kind of grimy and you can just tell that you know, whatever and He's just like, okay Listen, let's always with the it's always with the prime rib never with the fish like you need to be more like yours like your cousin Holly and blah blah blah and Holly of course comes in and she has you know, no no issue serving
any of her food or anything like that and Julia's like, why is he being so nice to you? Like, why does this man hate me so much? Why is he so nice to you? And she goes, well, I let him look at my boobs at the holiday party, the Christmas party last year. So, you know, you can work something out. Maybe he'll be nicer to you.
Katie: She said, not my finest 30 minutes, but it's been a pleasant working experience ever since. And then the cook looks at her, and we're like, hm? And she's like, no. And he's like, right. ⁓ So we find out that Julia has been engaged for quite some time. Holly's like, what's wrong? You look upset. And she's, well, know.
Ireland: Blessed working experience. Hmm? No. Not happening.
Katie: I don't know if Glenn's ever going to set a date because we've been engaged for so long. I don't know if it's ever going to happen. I'm doing all these weddings and all I see is these happy couples. Am I going to be one of them? So ⁓ she tells her cousin, Holly tells her to go outside and get some air. So she goes outside. She sits outside like in the back, which is next to the dumpster. And ⁓ at this time, Adam Sandler's character, Robbie, is ⁓ going in the back and he runs into a kid who was given alcohol by one of the groomsmen. He's obviously not old enough to drink and he feels a little sick, so Robbie brings him outside to the dumpster.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah, and the kid is literally puking so hard. ⁓ And this is like the perfect beat cute, right? Like Robbie's coming out and he sees Julia and then there's just a kid puking behind him right in the back. So it's just a perfect romantic opportunity. ⁓ And they just start like having some small talk talking about like their weddings and things like that because we do learn that Robbie is also going to get married as well. And
Katie: Mm. Thanks.
Ireland: Meanwhile, while this little meet-cute is happening and that a boot came out of that kid from You King Of, George is still inside, finishing the song, right? He finished Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? And then he's looking around as soon as the song is done. Robbie is nowhere in sight, so what does he do?
Katie: Literally. He just he just looks at the band and goes and then here don't don't don't do you really want to? Me this plays the same song. It's so basically Yeah, so poor George doesn't know any other song and all the like guests are like
Ireland: Yep. it over again. Like, are you kidding me right now?
Katie: What? Yeah, yeah, so that's all they get to hear. ⁓ And this is Robbie and Julia, obviously me because, know, the puking kid and he's like, ⁓ you know, what are you drinking? And she's like, I'm drinking a Coke. He's like, you sure there's not rum in there? She's like, no, because if there was, I'd be puking in that dumpster more than that kid. ⁓ And...
Ireland: I love you. He goes, think I saw, I don't think anybody can puke as much as that kid. I think I just saw a boot come out of him.
Katie: Yep. And she's like, ⁓ you're you're Robbie, the wedding singer. And he's like, Yeah, who are you? she's like, I'm Julia. I'll actually be catering your wedding next week. And he's like, ⁓ that's great. You know. ⁓ And then we cut to the next day.
Ireland: Yeah. And we, Robbie is teaching the lovely Rosie how to sing and she wants to sing a specific song because it is her husband's and her wedding anniversary. And you can tell it's a wedding anniversary for a very long time. She is just like the cutest, like elder lady. She's just adorable. And Robbie just lets her pay him in meatballs. Like she doesn't pay for these lessons. She pays for them in meatballs. And he just, ⁓
Katie: BOSS.
Ireland: know she's just like oh it's so kind of you for letting an old lady pay in meatballs and he's just like girl I should be charging you like like the meatballs are plenty right I like I could be charging you $100 and it still wouldn't be as like as worth or higher worth than your meatballs and then she just instead of putting them in Tupperware for him puts it right in his hands in the palm of his hands and Then he takes a bite out of one. He's like, wow, that's a great meatball. Amazing. That's great. And she's just like, wow, I'm so excited for your wedding tomorrow. You're going to be a great husband. And while she's doing this, she's embracing his hands and just smushing the meatballs in his hands. The texture, that would be like my nightmare.
Katie: Yeah. And it's like, blahhh. And it's just like, can see it like squeezing through his hands, like the sauce and everything. And he's like, oh, OK, all right. Yeah. So it's time for Robbie and Linda's wedding. we see like the this is like the quintessential wedding 80s. It's got the picture with the heart with the flowers in the beginning. Julia's mom is dropping her off. And in true 80s mom fashion, she says, do you see that girl?
Ireland: Yeah. You know what? Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Katie: you're prettier than that girl and she's getting married. And then she's like, what does pretty have to do with getting married? And the mom's like, everything. So she's that typical mom where you have to be the prettiest and the skinniest and you have to look the best and you have to, that's the only thing. ⁓ And she's like, you know what, you could fake a pregnancy and maybe he would marry you faster. Like that's how desperate, yeah, like.
Ireland: She's like, I'm getting out of the car, mom. I cannot do this.
Katie: Okay, Mom, like you don't need to brag because moms had to brag about their dang kids. I mean, it's still like that today, but you know, it's like Okay, Mom, dude has nothing like I'm engaged at least, you know, so ⁓ They're all they're all getting ready, you know, everybody's at the the altar Robbie's waiting and
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. Mm.
Katie: Nothing's happening and Robbie's like, know, somebody said, ⁓ maybe she's stuck in traffic or something, or maybe there was a makeup mishap or something like that. And then we see Robbie's sister come on
the stage and talk to Robbie. And what did she tell Robbie?
Ireland: Yeah, she tells Robbie that there was a note and she left the note and said that she's not getting married today and she's not getting married to him pretty much ever so and he just goes ⁓ so it was a bad note and ever since then obviously he went through a small depression of course because he thought he was gonna be marrying the love of his life and she didn't even care enough to say Talk to him in person and say I can't do it right now or I can't do this in general. She literally
Katie: Mm.
Ireland: left a freaking note. How embarrassed.
Katie: Yep. Yeah. So, you know, it's later on in the day, of course, you know, the cake's there, it's missing a bride. ⁓ And then the brother-in-law. ⁓ yeah, it's on there. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's a little Easter egg. And Robbie's like, can you please turn that crap off right now? So, and then, you know, his best friend Sammy's there.
Ireland: ⁓ don't worry, White Wedding by Billy Idol is also planning on the TV. I'm
Katie: the brother-in-law who looks like he's from the Sopranos, which I actually think he is from the Sopranos, or one of the you know, ⁓ you know, mobster movies. Yeah, he's definitely played a mobster for sure. He's got the hair, his hair. think you could bounce like quarters off that hair. He's got nice, ⁓
Ireland: I Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he would give Pauly D a run for his money, for sure.
Katie: ⁓ for sure. Yeah, I think he's he's the like, ⁓ gee, Polly D probably. Yeah. So Robbie's sitting outside the step of his sister's house because he lives in her basement. ⁓ And he's holding the little bride. And here comes good old Linda. And she's like with her hair, she's like, hey. And he's like, hey. And ⁓
Ireland: ⁓ gee, Guido. Linda.
Katie: She's like, so how are you? And he's like, like shit, basically. Like, like really, yeah. And she's basically tells him like, I know why I couldn't get married because I'm in love with, I'm in love with Robbie back then, not Robbie now. And she says, I woke up thinking I'm about to marry a wedding singer. I'm never gonna live it. I'm never gonna leave Ridgefield.
Ireland: Girl, I'm not good, bro. What are you talking about? Yeah.
Katie: And he says, Ridgefield is a perfect place to raise a family. And then she's like, yeah, living in your sister's basement with five kids while you're off every weekend doing weddings for $60 a pop. And then he's like, again, things that could have been brought to my attention yesterday. And then Robbie's nephew comes out and he's like, Linda. she's like, he's like, you're a bitch.
Ireland: The best cameo. I loved watching this on like TBS because you know they have to like what's it called like blend it out or whatever or censor it. Yeah and then it always censored to Linda you're a witch and I was like who girl she say witch?
Katie: Yeah, you're a witch, I think. ⁓ And then he just runs away and then Robbie's like, we think he might have turrets but we're not sure.
Ireland: Hahaha King. Yeah, so next morning we are in Julia's house and she is of course listening to 99 Loof Balloons or whatever. I love that song. It's such a good song. ⁓ But her fiance Glenn comes in and surprises her and he just goes in hands her an envelope and is just like, okay, I know that you want me to set a date. So here we go. And he hands her two tickets to Las Vegas. What a romantic wedding.
Katie: Yeah. Oh, if you can hear that, it's it's thunderstorming outside. Yeah. It's yeah, it's thunderstorming. So if this goes out or something, that could be why. you hear burp, burp, burp. If my husband comes running in the room going the tornado sirens are going off, then I'll have to leave. Actually, I'll probably be outside going where? Because us Midwesterners, that's what we do.
Ireland: Yeah, it's raining by me too, but I definitely heard that on your end. Yeah. Sorry guys. ⁓ Yeah, I guess. Yeah, literally. You midwesterner. She's a storm teaser.
Katie: Okay, I like to be out there. Yeah. So yeah, so he thinks it's super romantic that he has planned a trip to Las Vegas where they can elope. Super fun. And Julius, she's happy he set a date, but she's like, Las Vegas, I kind of wanted to have, you know, my friends and family there. And he's like, well, I don't want a big thing of people just come to drink the booze and eat your food. I'm like, that's exactly what it's for. Literally.
Ireland: Mm-hmm. That's what a wedding is, Then what are we even doing here? Try wedding? Ugh. Sorry.
Katie: If you don't have good booze and good food, don't throw a wedding. Or at least good booze. So then Glenn, being the thoughtful, wonderful fiance he is, he's like, okay, you can go ahead and have the wedding you want. It's more important to you anyways. Nice dude, nice.
Ireland: you Yeah, that makes sense. I'm glad that his heart's in the right place. So, Sammy, the king himself, drops by Robbie's place in his sister's basement and, Robbie's...
Katie: Mm, totally thinking of, yeah, they're gonna do this together.
Ireland: brother-in-law is the word I was looking for is talking to Sammy and he's just saying like bro he has not left the basement in five days like I would go check on him so that's what Sammy does and of course whereas Robbie is just chilling in his bed and you just hear
Katie: Yes.
Ireland: the cure playing around in the background, cause he's just sulking in the darkness. Yeah, two boys don't cry. ⁓ And Sammy tells him like, man, I really think you just got to get back out there. Like go back to work. There's a bunch of these single chicks at the wedding. Like, yeah, because the best possible place to be is another wedding when you just got stood up at your wedding.
Katie: Yeah, boys don't cry.
Ireland: Okay, Sammy, it's just so much boy math. You guys heard of girl math, that's boy math. ⁓ And at the wedding, obviously Robbie is not doing well.
Katie: Yeah. No, he's literally having a nervous breakdown and he's singing holiday
And of course, like the father, the bride is just giving him dirty looks and like, he's, yeah, and I don't blame them.
Ireland: Because he's paying for this thing and he's just like, he's like, I live in my sister's basement.
Katie: Mr. Spaceman! And again, 80s. So in the background is, now my Gen Xers, I know you've been to a wedding that has that cake that has the multi-layers with the little bridges to the other little smaller cakes. And sometimes it had a fountain in the middle. Okay. And this particular cake, the colors are red and like white. So I don't think they would want a red fountain in there.
Ireland: No. Yeah.
Katie: it would look like blood, but it is definitely that cake with the plastic bridges that go to something else and the wicker chairs and everything and yeah, definitely the big 80s hair and all that stuff. ⁓ So yeah, so he's... Everyone just kind of look at it I'm like... You know. Yeah. So after Robbie sings holiday or attempts to sing holiday... ⁓
Ireland: Nice. Yeah, like this is painful. Sure, that's what we can call its king.
Katie: So Robbie starts talking and says a couple things. The couple is off to a good start because at least the bride showed up. He's like, you gotta be stoked, because at least she showed up. And they're like, good start. ⁓ And the bride's father yells, I'm paying you to sing. I'm not paying you to talk. And what does Robbie answer with?
Ireland: Perfect. Good start. Well, I have a microphone and you don't so you will listen to every damn word I have to say and he's like screaming it into the microphone and Yeah, and dad is not happy and now Robbie's just standing up on his soapbox Like he is just gonna start ranting like he just goes well some of us will never find true love for example me Pretty sure that guy over there and he's just the he's just like ⁓
Katie: Yes. And the dad's like... He's a larger gentleman with a napkin who's definitely ready to He wants to eat. They're just, you know, yeah.
Ireland: A larger gentleman that's sitting right next to the cake. Yeah, girl me too. And then he goes, and that lady with the sideburns over there. And basically everybody at table nine, which is definitely like the misfit table. ⁓ And what song is he gonna start to sing that just gives off amazing wedding vibes?
Katie: That's the MISPA table, yes. He's gonna sing the romantic song, Love Stinks. He's gonna, yep. And ⁓ yeah, so he starts to sing that and the larger gentleman, sideburns lady, and as he says, the freaks at Table Nine, they all join in with this love stinks, you know? And cause he's like, she loves her, she loves another guy, but he loves her, he loves somebody else, and it just like all over and, yep.
Ireland: You just can't win.
Katie: love stinks and they're all singing love stinks and yes
Ireland: Lady of the Cyburns. Love stinks. She's like, question weird.
Katie: Yeah, they're like all excited. ⁓ so Robbie turns around as it's almost over and he gets greeted by a big old punch from the dad, the father of the bride. He's like, I'm going to kill you.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. And then after we- after he blacks out with that punch, we catch Robbie in the dumpster. But-
Katie: Yes.
Ireland: To our surprise, Julia is there to see Robbie and meet him in the dumpster there. ⁓ She's really just trying to talk to him and is just like, hey, you did promise, you know, that you would sing at our wedding and me and Glenn finally set a date, so you have to be there. Like, you have to be my wedding singer. And he just cannot do it. He says that he can't, he can't even be around weddings, like, ⁓ and all of those things. But she really wants him so badly to come to her engagement party. that's gonna be in about two weeks because they did finally set that date and she's like you need to bring Sammy as well and then I think she just thinks it'll be nice for him to get out of the house and you know do some things here ⁓ and we cut to Robbie babysitting his little nephews who are just honestly the two most hilarious human beings in this movie
Katie: And this little tiny part, even though it's not very significant, ⁓ he's watching his nephews because his sister and her husband are going out and the sister's ready. And she's like, come on, hun. And he says something. And this is something that was really huge in the 80s. This was like the biggest thing. mean, millions of people tuned in for this. He says, what does he say? He says, ⁓ she goes, hurry up. And he says, I think they shot JR. He might be dead or something. Now, if anybody knows, my Gen Xers do. ⁓ Your parents, too, watched it, was Dallas. And the biggest thing for a show to do was to end on a cliffhanger at the end of a season. This wasn't really, this was not done before. They wouldn't make you wait a whole season to find out what happened. It would be like the end of the week on a Friday. and then you do like tune in, know, just like soap operas do. But Who Shot JR was so huge. It was everywhere. They made shirts. It was on every magazine cover. It was on every entertainment thing. was a whole thing. Who Shot this character JR, who was like the biggest dick. And when it came back on eight months later, you had to wait eight months to find out who shot JR. That opening episode.
Ireland: Yeah. you
Katie: 78 to 80 million people tuned in for that now. This is the 80s. So just imagine that it's not like streaming. There's no stream There's like one tv per household. Yep that many people tuned in because back then there were like five shows If that and everybody watched those five shows and dallas was one of those huge ass shows. So yeah, so that was just like kind of I like Yeah, ⁓ Nana watched it. I remember her watching it
Ireland: to a lot of having to have TVs and watching at that time. ⁓ Yeah. Wow. I'm not even gonna lie to you, I've never even heard of that before.
Katie: ⁓ I don't know if she's a big huge fan of it, but I know she did like at least occasionally watch it. I think
my grandma watched it too. ⁓ But I just remember it being a really big thing. And yeah, it was kind of like a dynasty. came from like that dynasty came from that kind of or vice versa. But yeah, it was kind of like that kind of a soap opera. Mm hmm. Yeah. But it was unheard of at that time for shows to end a season on a cliffhanger.
Ireland: Yeah. Okay. ⁓ okay, okay, So like a drama, kind of. Okay, okay, okay. Got it. Mm.
Katie: Imagine that if we had no shows that would end a cliffhanger. I'm kind of like, I would kind of like that because sometimes they don't renew.
Ireland: Prodigal son, ugh. I will never forgive them for taking that show away from us. And that ending was so dumb. So stupid.
Katie: Yes. Yes. If you're gonna cancel something, should at least give them... Or give them a two-hour special that they could just wrap it up decently. If my sister's listening, Reunion. We're still very bitter about that. I know nobody's heard of that show. Reunion Kelly, you know what I'm talking about. ⁓ and right now she's probably like, yeah, that's so mad. It was... And you know what? I blame the White Sox. Here's why I blame the White Sox. Cause that was when they were in the World Series. And the show, cause they were like...
Ireland: Like at least let them finish it out Yeah. I don't know what that is. That's exactly what I was thinking of! Mm. 2005 or 2006 or whatever it was? Jesus.
Katie: show. Because the show was so, it was really good and they had to, they showed like the first three episodes and they didn't show the rest because nobody watched it because they watched the World Series, especially with the White Sox winning. Like they were almost as bad as the Cubs, you know? Yeah. So yeah, Cubs too. just, ay, ay. Being a Chicago fan could be hard.
Ireland: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's never gonna happen again, God. Yeah, any Chicago sports really, they're all sports. Yeah, all we have is the sky.
Katie: It can be hard sometimes. Sometimes it's hard. ⁓ Yeah, so that's that whole ranty thingy. So now we're at Julia's engagement party, which is at Glenn's house, which is a huge, beautiful mansion.
Ireland: Thanks. Huge and like it took me a couple of times watching this like and I mean I've seen this probably at least triple digits, but like Like I remember the first couple times I'm like, ⁓ wow, they rented this nice mansion and I did not even realize that it was Glenn's house. Like it is freaking phenomenal. ⁓ And she's basically, Julia's coming up to Glenn and saying that they have so much planning to do, like I need to do this, we need to do all these things with the flowers, arrangements, all this crap. And Glenn is just like, well, sugar pie, it's not really my thing. Like, sorry girl, like you're the woman, you gotta do what you gotta do, basically, in Glenn speak. ⁓
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: to go get trashed and she's gonna deal with everything in the wedding. ⁓ And Holly asks Glenn, since his bachelor party is gonna be that Friday before
the wedding, if it's okay that he's gonna be missing his showing of Miami Vice for that day. And let me just tell you that this man is literally dressed in the perfect attire for Miami Vice, like, in this very scene.
Katie: Yeah. I need spikes. Yeah, he's Don Johnson. He thinks he's Don Johnson. Yeah. Yeah.
Ireland: He does, he truly thinks that and there are so many things throughout this movie that will really just get the ick from this man. And he's just like, well, it's summer reruns. Like he's already thought about this. Like that was even a higher commitment than the wedding or the bachelor party.
Katie: Yeah. doesn't think anything about the actual wedding, but just the fact that his bachelor party will not interfere with his Miami Vice schedule. He's cool. So yeah, Miami Vice was another big one. so enter Sammy and Robbie. come into the, you know, they go to the engagement party and Robbie's just kind of like, I just want to be like in and out, know, and then.
Ireland: Yep. Yep. You planned around that. Don't worry. ⁓ Yeah, like I'm here to support Julia because she is a really nice person, but I do not want to be here right now.
Katie: So Sammy's dressed like Michael Jackson in Thriller. So he has the red jacket. He has the sparkly glove from Billie Jean on. And he's like, do I look OK? And Robbie's like, I don't know. I would maybe remove the sparkle glove. That's a little too much.
Ireland: Literally with a glove and everything. Say hi to your brother Tito for me.
Katie: So, they see Julia and of course, Robbie goes right to Julia who introduces them to Glenn and his frat bud. I forgot his frat buds name. I'm just calling him frat bud. I don't care. He's just frat bud. He's your typical dude bro, brainless person. And the frat bud goes.
Ireland: Who knows? Yeah, it's just some old white dude's name. Who knows? Who cares? Yeah, sigma apple pie for sure.
Katie: Robbie, the wedding singer. ⁓ I heard what happened at your wedding. That was so cold. You must have felt like shit. And then Robbie says, no, it felt really good. Thanks for bringing it up, man. You know, my parents died when I was 10. Would you like to talk about that? And the guy's like, why would we want to talk about that? He's like, I don't know.
Ireland: Why would I want to talk about that? I don't know. It's just like, he just has such good singers. I just love Robbie so much. And that guy is just so annoying and literally useless. and now Robbie's starting to tell Julia about what Sammy said about her, the very first wedding that they all worked together. And she's just like, ⁓ tell me more. And Sammy's like, no, please stop. Like, we're not doing this right now. And Robbie's like, ⁓ are you sure? Because he said that he was going to give it to you. He was going to give it to you good. And then Julia responds with, me what exactly?
Katie: Yes. Mm. Yes. Yeah, she's playing along. It's great.
Ireland: yes, they just have great energy together and sammy of course is embarrassed and just annoyed so he's walking away and this is when the iconic- iconic hello? the iconic line of say hello to your brother tito for me comes out
Katie: And then he just goes like this as he walks away. Yeah. ⁓ so funny. Yeah. So, you know, Robbie asked Julia, hey, how's the planning going? And she's like, well, Glenn's not helpful. He doesn't want to do any of it. ⁓ I did. I did find a florist, but, know, they're really expensive. I'm not sure. And he says he's like, ⁓ don't use that florist. Use this florist instead.
Ireland: You know, I used to flip it a month. It's so good. Love it.
Katie: way better flowers and way cheaper. And she's like, ⁓ thank you. Thank you. You know, I appreciate that. And she's like, it's too bad we won't be hanging out more since Robbie's not doing weddings anymore. And he tells her that there's lots of other things besides a wedding. And then we cut to a bar mitzvah. Yes. yes. And he's singing and kids are dancing and they're having a great time. Everybody's happy again because it's not a wedding. So he's not depressed. George is there looking like George.
Ireland: Abort Misfal! Yes!
Katie: ⁓ And then Robbie sees someone sitting at a table looking sad.
Ireland: Yeah, and he approaches this young kid at the table and is just like, hey, like, are you good? Like, why don't you ask somebody to dance? And the kid responds with, well, I already did, but the girl that I asked said that she doesn't dance with losers, da da da. Like, what the heck are we even doing here? So now Robbie's keeping this in the back of his mind. He's like, okay, how can I get everybody in a good mood, right? So he gets up on stage and tells Julia, because Julia, gorgeous, Drew Barrymore is stunning. ⁓
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: and he's like, okay, Julia, now I need you to dance with somebody, but you get to pick anybody that you wanna dance with, and you need to pick the most un-losery guy in the room to dance with. And she's like going around the line because they all line up, because they're like, come on, Julia, please dance with me. ⁓ come on, baby, dance with me. You're like 11 years old. Literally. Yeah.
Katie: This is slithery. Mm-mm. Yeah. He's got like a fedora on the one kid. He's got a fedora on. He's like...
Ireland: The little Yamakas, they're so cute. And then she eventually goes up to the kid that's sitting at the table that was rejected by another girl before, and she asks, can I have this dance?
Katie: Yes, it's very cute. And the kid is all like, ⁓ my gosh. And all the other boys are like, ⁓ what? What? And he's playing, they played Till There Was You. I think that's the name of the song, which is what Rosie is practicing to sing at her 50th anniversary. ⁓ And we get to see George's talent. OK? So this song has many instruments in it. So we see George playing the keyboard at first.
Ireland: Yeah, I think so. Yeah.
Katie: and then george breaks out the clarinet and it's like and then he breaks out the trumpet ⁓
Ireland: Yes.
Katie: and everybody's dancing and the kid grabs Julia's butt and she's like, yeah, and Robbie's like, just go with it. And then all the other kids, he's like dragging other kids to dance, like, you know, boys and girls to dance with each other. And then you got the older folks dance with each other, you know, and they're all grabbing each other's like butts. It's, you know, it's, yeah, it's a cute, cute scene. Yeah. And...
Ireland: Yeah, he's copping a feel. Yeah. Mmm, they're following everybody's lead. It's cute, it's funny.
Katie: And she's like, you know, thank you. was a pleasure. Thank you for the dance or whatever. And the kid was like all of a sudden cool now, because, you know, he got to dance with Julia, which was that was really nice that he did that for him. Yeah. And Julia asks Robbie after everything, she's like, that's really nice what you did. And she says, you helped me plan the wedding because the info you gave me on the florist, you were correct. It was so much cheaper and so much better. She's like,
Ireland: Mm-hmm. Yeah, very sweet.
Katie: that's what I need. don't, I'm newer to the area because she moved here for Glenn, of course, and she's like, I don't know anybody, you know everything. So he's like, you know, and she's like, please. And of course, he's like, okay, yeah, yeah, he's going to help her plan the
Ireland: stuff. Yeah, she's amazing and yeah, and he's so sweet. ⁓ So now we're going to join Robbie and Julia at the photographer so they can figure out a new photographer for Julia's wedding and this is the lovely Faye, my queen Faye. ⁓ And they're basically arguing with Faye and Robbie is, he means business, right? Like he knows pretty much everybody in the town. He's been around weddings his entire life. He knows that Faye has given a very, very low price to a couple that he knows.
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: He is not having it. She's like, I would never have done it for that low. Nothing like that. I don't know what you're talking about. And then she cracks. She's like, oh, fine. Okay, whatever. So she does give Julia the best price because Robbie knows his stuff. I love that for him.
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: Faye is just like, know what? You two just look truly happy. Like I know that you guys are gonna make it a long time. And then as she's saying this, she's also explaining other couples who have made it for a long time. Like our lovely Donald and Ivana and Woody and Mia and Bert and Lonnie. I'm like, girl, what are we doing?
Katie: Yep. They're not going to last forever. and Lani. If you haven't guessed, all these people are divorced and it did not last and it was kind of bad. ⁓ me and Woody were not married, but he ended up leaving her for one of the adopted children. Yeah, yeah, so yeah.
Ireland: Yeah, no. ⁓ Yeah, not the woodshed. His adopted daughter. Yeah, I can't do that anyways. And then Robbie kind of breaks it off and is like, girl, we are not getting married. And she's like, what? And he goes, well, we're actually brother and sister. And he goes, ⁓ like, Faye's like, ⁓ I know that I could sense the closeness. And they're just kind of bickering back and forth. And then they're even fighting about like, ⁓ I'm going to tell mom when we get home. And it's just a cute little, cute little experience there.
Katie: Yeah, yeah. ⁓ so now we're gonna cut. They're gonna choose a wedding singer. ⁓ Robbie will not be doing it. And they're sitting down and it's John Lovitz, his character. I think it's Jimmy. ⁓ He is singing, this is ladies, ladies night. So he's singing, this is ladies night. And he's doing like grinding and then he does like a
Ireland: because Robbie can't do it. Mm-hmm.
Katie: And grabs his crotch like a Michael Jackson crotch grab and he's like, ⁓ sexy lady. And then he's like, sophisticated mama. And Julia's like, no. He does such a good job. He's so good. And then he's done.
Ireland: Yeah, he's like pumping the air while he's doing that. yeah he's like yeah julia's like not even sure what's going on she's like where am i am i dreaming right now like what the hell is going on ⁓ here
Katie: Robbie's like, you know, thanks for doing this man. And Jimmy says, I should be thanking you for quitting. And he goes, or should I thank Linda? And what does Julia say?
Ireland: Yeah, well Julia goes, well, you've just inspired me to hire a DJ. So thank you. Like she is standing up for her man, Robbie. ⁓ And Jimmy, Jimmy has the most iconic exit. He has the most iconic exit. He literally goes, ⁓ well good luck finding a DJ that can move and shake like this. And he's just like shimmying back and forth. And Julia's just like, girl, what the hell did I just see? So.
Katie: You gotta do it, Arlen, you gotta do it. Oh my god. So good.
Ireland: Now, Julia and Robbie are just chatting and Robbie mentions that he wrote a song shortly after the wedding standup scenario. ⁓ But half of it was before the Linda breakup and then the second half was after the breakup. And we know that our mans loves the cure. especially when he's in his depression ⁓ after. So he's like, listen, I was listening to the Cure a lot. And ⁓ Julia's like, no, you need to sing it for me. And he's just like, I don't know. Like, okay, well, if you don't like it, just keep in mind again, I was listening to the Cure a lot. And of course this song's title, which he doesn't say right away is Somebody Kill Me.
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: ⁓ and it is actually a really great song. Like I actually, it was on my Spotify rap last year. I'm not even gonna front with you. Like it's really bad. I have a really bad unhealthy obsession with this movie. but it's just, it's a great song. And Julia, even though Robbie's literally the ending words to the song is like, I'm on my knees. Pretty, pretty, please kill me. I want to die. And it literally says, put a bullet in my head. And Julia's
Katie: Okay.
Ireland: like sitting there for a second and then when he wraps up he's like kneel over and like
crying and she's just like she's like I liked it I liked it ⁓ and of course they're going to get some little ice cream afterwards but before they get their little sweet treat who do we see
Katie: Yeah. So we see we John Lovitz's character Jimmy while Adam Sandler because the song starts out like I don't know the words you know the words it's like really like soft it's like I don't it's something like need you
Ireland: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you don't know how much I need you. Yeah.
Katie: I need you. Yeah, and then it's like like this sweet little doop doop doop doop doop and then he's like, but it all was bullshit Yes So it was like that so Jimmy's watching so he's like behind he's like he peeks out There's a curtain the red curtain. So he peeks out And he's like he goes He's losing his mind and I'm reaping all the benefits and then he goes back
Ireland: Okay, you keep hitting your head on it
Katie: behind the curtain like this.
Ireland: Now that might be the quote that we say from this movie the most. Like that definitely is the quote that me and my mom will just look at each other and then we'll just do the curtain thing. We won't even say anything. And I'm reaping all the benefits.
Katie: We will, we will just do this. Yes, we will do that all the time. And we did that during the movie. We just looked at each other and we went like this. They hate us when we watch this movie. ⁓ my God, everybody hates us. We don't care. We don't care. yeah. So. So this is when Julia takes him out for ice cream, which is really cute. She's like, do you feel better? You know, he's.
Ireland: Yeah, we just... He's just such an iPad. I know, we cannot watch it with other people. It's actually so bad. So, no shame. Yeah, she's eating like a banana split. It's so cute.
Katie: Hmm. And, you know, he says, Linda, nice to come here. And she says, do you mind if I ask, you know, what happened between you and Linda? And how did you know she wasn't the right one? And he tells her about the time that she wouldn't give him the window seat when they were going to the Grand Canyon. Linda had been to the Grand Canyon multiple times. He had never been. And she would not give him the window seat so that he could see, you know, a really great aerial view of the Grand Canyon. And he's like, I know it seems stupid, but that was one of the things. And Julia's like, it's not stupid. It's the little things that count. And he asks her, well, when did you know Glenn was the one? And she says, the right one was someone I could see growing old with. Glenn will be a good looking older man. And Robbie says, I'm probably gonna look like Buddy Hackett, which if you know who Buddy Hackett is.
Ireland: You
Katie: I mean, she says he's gonna look like Blake Carrington, which was from one of the like dynasty or something. And, you know, and he's like, I'm look like Buddy Hackett,
Ireland: Yeah.
Katie: we get this great montage Ireland, right ⁓ this wedding montage
Ireland: Yeah, we get this amazing montage of just all of these things that they're doing for the wedding. We first are shown cake tasting and they have like this cute little cake tasting train. You have Holly and Sammy like feeding each other. Well, Holly's feeding Julia and then I think Julia feeds like Sammy or something like that. And you know, there's a whole line and then Robbie's tasting the cake. And then when Robbie turns around, there's just some random lady that's trying to eat the cake off the fork. Like he's just like, ⁓ jumpscare. And you literally have no idea where this woman came from. She just got there.
Katie: Yeah. He's like... He's like... And when he puts the cake in her mouth, it's like she bites off his hand. He's like, ⁓ like that. So yeah.
Ireland: Literally, who is this thing? Yeah. Yeah. And she's like, has it all over her face. It's just like, it's amazing. Um, and they are at the wedding shop and they are trying on some weddings and you just, all you see is like Holly, little George, and then Julia's mom, um, on the wedding, like trying on wedding dresses and kind of that are there for, um,
Katie: music. Mm-hmm.
Ireland: Julia and Robbie and all them. So, ⁓ and then when George comes out, they just love George's dress. They're like, yes, they're applauding for George, like outstanding. What an icon, sweetie. ⁓ And then after our little montage here, Robbie is back at Rosie's.
Katie: George is wet. Yes. Yeah. And he's teaching her the lessons. It's really cute. He's sitting with her at the piano and Julia's with him and she's eating the meatballs. And when they finish, she like claps for them. She puts the fork down. She claps for them. And then we cut to Sammy because Sammy's a limo driver and Sammy's driving the limo like insanely crazy. He's going like through cones like he's like spinning and he's going through all these cones and then
Ireland: You Mm-hmm.
Katie: Julia tells Robbie, as Robbie's holding a stopwatch, she's like, of course I'm gonna hire him. He's your best friend and he's the only limo guy in town. Like, of course. She goes, yeah. He's like, yeah, but I just like to mess with him. So then they cut back to him, like, getting out of the car and grabbing this mannequin bride and groom and like shoving him in the, yes. And then he's through the cones and he stops. And he's like, well, how'd he do?
Ireland: Yeah. Hmm. He's like sprinting and shoving them in the core.
Katie: And then Robbie, Robbie's like, you hit two cones. They could have been people at her wedding. And then he's like, there were cones. They were just cones. Messy with them. I just thought that was really cute. And then it just cuts to Sammy driving Robbie home, back home in the limo. And he's like, oh, somebody left their jacket in the back. And this is when Robbie's like, oh, it's Julia's. Remember she said at, you know,
Ireland: Yes. They were just cones. Yeah, when she got too hot or whatever. Yeah.
Katie: Elm Street. She said it wasn't jacket weather anymore. And
he's like, uh-oh. And he's like, what? He's like, you like Julia? He's like, no, I don't. He's like, yes, you do. He so does.
Ireland: ⁓ he so does. So we get to the next day and Julie and Holly live together So we're just kind of sitting at their house and they are talking about how Julia's kiss is gonna be at her wedding when they now pronounce them bride and groom obviously and Holly thinks that it should be an open mouth kiss and Julia's like girl not in a church. I think that would be way too much that it should be with a closed mouth and Holly's just like girl I'm not saying that has to be like a total makeout session, but you know a little bit more something And as yeah and as this conversation is happening Robbie walks in with Julia's jacket because she left it in the car the day before and Holly asked Robbie for her opinion. then or Holly asked Robbie for his opinion on it because obviously he's been to a billion weddings and all that fun stuff and Holly's literally saying like girl like it shouldn't be you know all over but you need to do a little something that's just not a peck and Julia's like, okay.
Katie: There should be some tongue.
Ireland: I'm not doing a whole French kiss porno tongue, but I do want to do a little bit of tongue, like church tongue, like whatever church tongue is. And Holly's like, girl, I have no idea what church tongue is, but I need to see this in order to see if that's what we should do. ⁓ And Julia's like, well, I don't know, what do you want me to do? And Holly's like, just try it on Robbie. Like it's fine. and they do and they kiss and it's just like the soft little beautiful music playing in the background like ⁓ it's just so perfect and they definitely have instant chemistry.
Katie: Yep. And then Glenn walks in after they're done kissing and Robbie tells him he goes, I kissed her, but it didn't mean anything. I just brought her her jacket. And then he leaves and Glenn's like, kissed who? And goes, ⁓ me. And he goes, who hasn't? She's like, poor Holly. And ⁓ Glenn has brought Julia a present. It's a CD player.
Ireland: ⁓ Rolly.
Katie: So a CD player in 1985 really didn't exist. It was $700. So he's just making sure that she knows it was $700. He's gonna go upstairs to like grab some tools so he can put it together. And Julia's not understanding. She's like, oh, let me get some records. He's like, it's not a record player, Jules, it's a CD player that plays CDs. And she's like, what the office of CD? yeah, they ain't selling that stuff at, you know.
Ireland: Yeah. a CD player. Yeah, she's like, girl, I ain't got no CDs, look around.
Katie: Sam Goody. So like she doesn't know what it is. ⁓ And then of course, after when he goes upstairs, Holly and Julia are like, ⁓ my God, did you see that kiss? ⁓ my God, ⁓ my God, ⁓ my God. And Julia obviously seemed very excited about the kiss, like with Robbie. And then Holly goes, I think I'm going to ask him out.
Ireland: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, like he is so hot.
Katie:
Yes. And Julia kind of taken back a little bit,
Ireland: That's my man. But not really my man, but wants to be my man.
Katie: like, yeah, kind of like jealous. Yeah. And then and then Holly's like, well, I won't if you don't want me to. And she goes, no, I wouldn't. want you to, you know, because she's getting married, but she's totally in a row. And, you know, she's she's like, OK, yeah. And she's like, oh, we should do a double, you know, we should do a double date. And Glenn's like, who should do a double date? And she's like, or who you going to go out with? And she's like, ⁓ Robbie. And he's like, good, that guy needs to get laid. And she's like, just because a guy goes out with me doesn't mean he's going to get laid. And both Julia and Glenn give her the look of like, and she goes, and she's like, OK, he's probably going to get laid. Poor Holly.
Ireland: Bro, be so for real. ⁓ God. ⁓
Katie: So they do decide to go on a double date at Spanky's. It's a swanky club. Yes.
Ireland: Amen. What beautiful establishment. Yeah, so at the club Holly is like heavy hitting on Robbie. Her hands are all over him. She's dressed just like Madonna. Like homegirl is like she's playing at all the stops and Julia is watching this flirting from afar and she is just pounding rum. Like homegirl is taking shots of like doubles and all of this stuff. Like she is going crazy. ⁓ And Julia is like, ⁓ I got to go to the bathroom.
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: Eventually, so then Holly obviously is gonna take Julie to the bathroom and as soon as she gets up to the bathroom Glenn literally goes Yeah, she's probably gonna yak like girl. What are we doing? Can we like can you at least be like oh, I'm concerned for my fiancee No, like oh, she's gonna yak And this is when Robbie is kind of forced to have this small talk with Glenn like obviously he's not a fan of Glenn Glenn is
Katie: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Ireland: to be frank, an asshole, like he's not a good person. But Robbie is just kind of making small talk with him and Glen kind of tells him like, or I guess Robbie asks like, ⁓ so what's her last name gonna be? And he says, Guleah. And Robbie's like, are you serious? Like her name is gonna be Julia Guleah? That's hilarious. And he goes, like Glen's like, why is that hilarious? And he goes, I don't know. He's just like, because it rhymes, you effing idiot. Like, what are we talking about?
Katie: Yes, he's so dull. ⁓ God. Yeah. ⁓ So Robbie is noticing Glenn just staring at this waitress, her ass, because she's, you know, bent over and short skirt everything. And he's like, ⁓ that's like a real nice, you know, ass, I guess. I don't know what the exact words he says. Yeah, but I'm adult. And
Ireland: Mm-hmm, dope.
Katie: He's like, yeah. And so Robbie's gonna, he's, he's gonna test them. He's trying to get some things like, he's like, yeah. And, you know, but we can't get girls like that anymore. We're too old. And he says, speak for yourself. You know, I can still get girls, you know, like that. And he goes, yeah, but that's like, like, you know, years ago or whatever. And he goes, try 10 days ago, younger and hotter. And he's like,
Ireland: Mm-hmm.
Katie: What? You know, like, okay, but once you get married for sure, things are gonna end. And he's like, no. He's like, I work late nights in the city.
Ireland: It worked long hours.
Katie: long hours and nights in the city. And, you know, so of course Robbie is just like disgusted because Julia is such a, you know, he doesn't really say anything. He just is kind of like, And he uses the word, ⁓ grade a top choice meat, right? That's the, that's his saying. Yeah.
Ireland: Yeah. That's easy question. Yeah, that's Glenn saying is that that booty is grade A top choice meat. Those women are just objects to him. He's just disgusting.
Katie: Mm-hmm. Yes, that is how he describes women's... Yes. ⁓ And then Holly comes back ⁓ and says, Julia needs to go home. And he's like, told you she was going to yak. Yeah.
Ireland: Yeah, she's not feeling well. Yeah, Glenn is just...ugh, he's so icky. But of course Glenn's gonna pull around the car and our lovely Robbie is taking care of Julia. He is just walking her out ⁓ and Like it's a cute little thing where Julia is just like ⁓ I like I puked on my shoes like I puked on like I thought I had puked my hair like does my hair smell bad and he goes no it smells good actually like it's a cute little Yeah, it's a cute little moment and of course freaking Miami Vice himself Glenn pot like drives in at like 90 miles
Katie: My hair. Smells like strawberries.
Ireland: an hour with his DeLorean with his butterfly doors and the doors open and the music is blasting so loud and the DeLorean and
Katie: DeLorean. Mm-hmm. Yup. It is the Miami Vice theme music blasting at like 100. Yeah.
Ireland: Of course it Yeah, of course it is. And the very first thing that he says to her is like, hey, don't puke in the interior of the car. It's an expensive interior. Not, ⁓ are you feeling okay? Or how are you doing? It's, please don't puke in my car. So, fun. What a ⁓ gentleman.
Katie: He's so sweet. mean, he's definitely husband material. Robbie drops Holly off at her house, because he's a gentleman, and she kisses him. And she tells him, like, Julia's not here. She's going to spend the night at Glenn's house, obviously. And she has the house all to herself. So she's like, I'm going to make it really easy on you. If you come upstairs with me, you're going to get laid. And he's kind of like,
Ireland: Yes.
Katie: He's asking questions about Julia. Like, does she stay at Glenn's a lot? know, Tali's like, yeah, I guess so. And then it hits her that Robbie is in love with Julia. She's like, oh, my God, you're in love with Julia. And he's like, no, I'm not.
Ireland: Yeah.
Katie: Robbie tells her, like, I don't I don't know what she sees in him because he's such a douche. Like, what does she see in him? You know, and Holly tells her, well, you know why she's marrying Glenn.
And he's like, well, why? And she says, for money and security. And he's like, well, not everybody, you know, is that shallow and just wants that. And she goes, literally, everybody wants that Robbie. So he's, you know, kind of.
Ireland: Yeah, he knows he's in trouble then if that's what it is because he's just a wedding singer. So he doesn't think he can ever own up to that. ⁓ So the next morning Holly is making breakfast and Julia is severely hungover. ⁓ And according to Holly, she had a pretty much a bottle of rum. So, but Julia wants to really know what happened with Robbie because she is jealous. She might as well be the color.
Katie: bummed out. Yeah, ⁓ Mm-hmm.
Ireland: ⁓ green because she's ⁓ but ⁓ holly just explains to her well we just kissed and that's it but let me tell you something girl he does not seem too fond of your little fiance there ⁓ maybe he's a little jealous and you can just definitely tell that julia is just like ⁓ like he wants to know about me like he wants to know about my life like he cares about me ⁓ and holly's like but don't worry girl i told her i told him the reason that you're marrying glenn and she's just like well what did you tell him like i don't know if yeah like i don't know if that's the specific reason and holly's like ⁓ because you love him of course and then with glenn you know you'll have security and julia says that is not why i am marrying him marrying him
Katie: What is the reason? And Holly goes, then why are you? She doesn't have an answer. She just puts her head down because she's severely hungover. ⁓ So after hearing what Holly had said that every woman wants is money, security, ⁓ Robbie's gone into the city and he's trying to get a job at a bank with zero experience. Yeah.
Ireland: She don't know. She don't know. experience in anything.
Katie: Literally and this is Kevin Neelan. He's from Saturday Night Live. He's been in many of the Adam Sandler movies. Uh Yeah
Ireland: He's in every Happy Gilmore movie or whatever it's called.
Katie: Yeah, and you know, so he's like, he's like, do you have any experience? He's like, no, I don't, sir. But I like money. I have a little bit of it and I'd like to have more. And he's like, OK, I think we're done here. And he's like, please, please, sir, I need this job to like. Yeah, I need this job to impress a girl. And he's like, OK, he's like, can I just get some business cards? And he's like, we're done here. Like, like, get out. And he's like.
Ireland: you Can I just get a business card?
Katie: 10 singing lessons for one business card. He's like, okay, you need to leave now. And he's like, yes. He's like, okay. Poor thing. so Julia stops by Rosie's to see if Robbie is there. And she and Rosie says, well, he's not here because he wants to make money. He doesn't have time for lessons that pay in meatballs. it shows, you know, and so Julia's kind of like,
Ireland: He's like, leave! Security!
Katie: What? He said that? Like that's weird. Okay. Yeah. And she's holding something and she's like, okay, well, I'll see if I can find him at his house. So Julia's waiting on his, the steps of the sister's house, you know, and Robbie comes in and he pulls up and he, you know, they're talking and she's like, well, what were you doing? You know, why aren't you at Rosie's? And he's like, well, I got a better my situation. You know, I can't be doing lessons for meatballs.
Ireland: Yeah, that doesn't sound like him.
Katie: and I need to get money, there's money out there and I need to get my hands on it. And Julia's like, well, that's kind of selfish, you know? And he's like, well, there's a lot of money out there and I'm getting my hands on it. And I can't, you know, can't live like this, you know? And she's like, well, you're above material bullshit. And he says, I don't know. We are living in a material world and I am a material girl or boy. He tells Julia, you're into material shit, you're marrying Glenn because he has money. Because that is what Holly told him. So ⁓ Julia's pissed, which I would be too. And she throws the papers up in the air and she's like, asshole. And she leaves and he looks and it's handmade music sheets that says music and lyrics by Robbie Hart. And he goes, ⁓ my God.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Katie: I am an asshole. She made me a gift. ⁓ my god, I am an asshole. And then here comes his nephew. You're going to the mental institution. And he's like, beat it.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. You know, and earlier in the movie too, like the two nephews get together and they're like, we heard that you're going to like the mental institution. And then the other one goes, cuckoo's nest, cuckoo's nest. Nervous breakdown, nervous breakdown. Like, it's just so funny. Everybody's been saying that. Everybody, you only know your mom and your dad.
Katie: institution. He's like, who's saying that? And they're like, everybody. Yeah, right exactly. So now Robbie is completely just...
Ireland: Yeah, he's defeated. He really is just not having a good time at all. And Robbie goes to the town bar and he sees Sammy there and then this lovely old man that they befriend at the bar. ⁓ And Robbie, for once in the movie, is getting drunk. Like he is not a drinker, like, and Julia also was not really ever a drinker. Like she was always drinking Coke or something like that. And that's what Robbie would do as well. But now obviously he's really going through it and he is drinking like a freaking sailor. ⁓
Katie: he's defeated. Mm-hmm.
Ireland: And he tells Sammy like basically that he was right like I want to be just like you teach me your ways of just like being with women a different chick every single night like I just I can't do this love thing ⁓ and Sammy's like dude this is not you like you're in love with Julia and there's literally like nothing you can do about it but I'm not happy like I'm not happy being with a different chick every single night I'm not happy like nobody wants to see these cool guys, you know,
that are getting with chicks every night when they're freaking 50 and getting old and hitting on these chicks, you know? So it gets tiring after a long time, basically.
Katie: Yeah. Mm-hmm. Yeah, because he says, I idolized guys like The Fonz and Vinny Barberini or Barberino, which is John Travolta. And we all know who The Fonz is. I don't need to say that. And he says, their shows got canceled. You know why? Because nobody wants to see a 50-year-old man hitting on chicks. And he says, I'm not happy because all I want is for someone to hold me.
Ireland: Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Katie: and tell me that everything will be alright. Then here comes the older gentleman and he holds him and he goes, everything's gonna be alright.
Ireland: I'm their old man. So cute
Katie: And then Sammy tells him, look, if you found someone you can love, you can't let it get away. And Robbie's like, you're right. he goes, Sammy goes, don't tell anybody what I said. Don't ever tell anybody what I said. And he's like, okay. And ⁓ this is when Julia is at her house with her mom and Julia is like, mom, know, is Glenn the right guy? And... She's like, of course he is, honey. He's rich. You know, the typical mom. He's rich and he's handsome because that's all that matters. You know, and he's like, and he's got you. So he's got everything, you know. And she's like, well, like I've been hanging out with the wedding singer. And she's like, you're not leaving Glenn for the wedding singer. Like, no, that's not happening. OK, watch me. Don't tell me. Don't tell me how to feel. Yeah.
Ireland: I Christina Pickles. That's crazy. Watch me. I'm salary prime. Sign me up, bro.
Katie: Yes. So the mom leaves and Julia's in her dress and she's like in the mirror. She's talking. She's like talking. She's like, Hi, my name is Mrs. Glenn Gullia. And she's like, Hi, I'm Julia Gullia. And when she says that she starts crying. Like she's so upset. Yeah. She's like, she like laughs, cries. And then she says, Hi, my name is Mrs. Robbie Hart. And then she's like,
Ireland: My name is Tanya. I would too, girl. If my name was Julia Gullia, I would cry too.
Katie: Robbie and I are so excited that you could come to our wedding. And she's like, just like absolutely beaming. Yes. And so happy while she's calling herself Mrs. Robbie Hart, you know.
Ireland: and hammer with it and just.
Katie: is on the way on his way to Julia's house to tell her his feelings ⁓ and he he gets towards her house, he sees her in the mirror while she's saying, Mrs. Robbie Hart and she's happy and she's like, ⁓ we love you. Thank you for coming. ⁓ He sees so happy in her wedding dress that he thinks that she's ⁓ happy about Glenn when that's not the case but of course, he's he doesn't know that ⁓ and so ⁓ ops not to tell her how he feels because he doesn't want to do this like a day before her wedding or two days before the wedding or whatever. He doesn't want to do that to her and so he decides to drown his sorrows at the town bar and
Ireland: Yeah. bar but this time he's brought his own liquor from the liquor store into the bar which we know is a huge no-no.
Katie: Yeah, and you know, Sammy's like, Oh, give give Robbie another shot. And he's like, no, I already bought my own. And then the bartender is like, Robbie, can't have that in here. And he goes, no problem. I'll just go outside. So as Robbie goes outside, the three of them had outside and Robbie runs into Glenn, who is having his bachelor party pregame. And he's got he's got the fret row guy with him. He's got like two other fret rows and there's like
Ireland: enough.
Katie: 10 women with him. He's got a woman on each arm, you know, being a turd that he is. And ⁓ he's like, ⁓ look, it's the wedding singer, know, guns excited to see him for you know, and he's like, Hey, why don't you why don't you come inside for the pre bachelor party drinks, you know, and ⁓ he says, Robbie says you're ridiculous, ridiculous man, stop all this cheating shit moron. She's a good girl.
Ireland: Yeah.
Katie: And then Glenn's face changes really quick. He goes, hey, ass wipe, don't go snitching to Julie about this. I know you have a little crush on her. You got to face the facts that she wants to sleep with a real man, not some poor singing orphan. And then, yeah. And then Robbie goes to punch him, because Robbie is super drunk. He's like, I beat up some kid in fifth grade, and I beat the shit out of that kid. So let's see how this goes. And that went pretty well earlier. Let's see how this goes.
Ireland: Yeah, kick your eye while he's down.
Katie: and he goes to punch Glen and the older gentleman cuts it for me and like ehhhh and it's like the
Ireland: I used to be much stronger. He's so cute.
Katie: It's stronger. Yeah. And as he's like, as Robbie's looking at the older gentleman, what are you doing? Glenn sucker punches him. He's not even looking at Glenn because Glenn's a pussy and he totally had to sucker punch him because he's a little bitch. And Robbie goes down, of course, and he's like, he's like,
Ireland: No.
Katie: Glenn, what is he? goes, Glenn, so sorry. Glenn goes, why don't you write a song about this? You can call it, I Got Punched in the Nose for sticking my nose in other people's business. know, hilarious. And all the girls are like, ahahaha.
Ireland: What a night. Yeah, because they're getting paid $100 an hour. Ew. ⁓
Katie: because they're, yeah, yeah. And then Robbie stumbles home drunk to find Linda waiting on one of the lawn chairs. She tells Robbie she misses him and wants him back. And he says, I don't wanna be alone. And then she's like, you're not alone, Linda's back. And she goes like this. And then Robbie just falls and passes out at the lawn. And she's like.
Ireland: Yeah, he's so drunk. Linda's just like, ⁓ okay. Anyways, yeah, so the next morning, Julia is going to Robbie's place and she wants to talk to him. She wants to probably talk to him about her feelings and things like this. And Linda answers the
freaking door just in a Van Halen t-shirt. That's it. And she tells Julia that she, that, cause obviously, hello, hold on.
Katie: So what happens the following morning?
Ireland: So Julia's obviously looking for Robbie. And when, when, ⁓ what's her name? Linda opens, you're a bitch. When Linda opens the door, ⁓ she can't even be bothered to remember, to remember Julia's real name. Like Julia says her name and she's like, ⁓ like he's in Disposed Jennifer. Like she, he's in the shower. ⁓ And Julia's like, this bitch must be Linda.
Katie: Linda. ⁓
Ireland: And she goes, yeah, that's me, Robbie's fiance. And she has the ring back on her finger. Don't understand where that came from. And she just has to ask, who are you? And Julia introduces herself saying that I'm Julia Sullivan. Can you just tell them that I stopped by, you know, anything like that? And Linda literally slams a door on her and says, sure thing, Jennifer, and closes the door immediately. Like, ugh, what a sleaze.
Katie: Yeah. And Julia walks away sad because she's like, oh, he's back with Linda. So she doesn't want to mess that up, you know? Yeah. So Linda, Linda tries to wake up Robbie. Robbie's passed out this whole time by singing, wake me up before you go go. And she's in the Van Halen t-shirt and he's like, Linda, what are you doing here? And then she grabs her hair, her terrible hair. And she's like, you passed out. So he took care of
Ireland: Yeah.
Katie: And he's like, what, why did you take care of me? And she's like, I realized that it's wrong and I wanna take care of you for good. I can learn to live with the fact that you're just a wedding singer. And he's like, you can learn to live with it? That's not how this works. Maybe, yeah. And she's like, maybe we should talk about this when you're feeling better. And he's like, hey, psycho, I'm not gonna feel better about this, it's over. Now please get out of my Van Halen shirt before.
Ireland: Yeah.
Katie: Or you jinx the band and they break up.
Ireland: I can't.
Katie: And then she goes, ⁓ okay, so you're still pissed about that wedding thing? And then Robbie just slams the door and she's just pulling her shoes and her dress and she just like walks away mad.
Ireland: Yeah, I should do a vlog. so because of this dumb encounter with Linda, now Julia's rushing home and she has to wake Glen up because Glen just had his little bachelor extravaganza party with his like 16 girlfriends around his arm. And she is waking him up and is like, I want to go to Las Vegas right now. Just want to get married. Just you and me. Let's go. Let's blow this popsicle stand. And, ⁓ Glen is like, all right, great. I thought you never asked. Like I thought you wanted this big wedding, but hey,
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: What am I gonna say? I'm not gonna say nothing. Now I can just get to a lope and then...
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: I can continue cheating on you. ⁓ And we cut to Robbie at Rosie's anniversary party because Robbie's kind of back in it, right?
Like he obviously has apologized to Rosie and all those things. And he had been, he had been, you know, helping Rosie with her voice lessons so then she could serenade her little husband. And she starts to sing the Till There Was You song that we heard earlier in the movie. And ⁓ it shows kind of both Robbie thinking of Julia and then
Katie: You Yeah. So cute. Mm-hmm.
Ireland: kind of cutting back of Julia just kind of thinking of Robbie and Julia we see is getting on the plane with Glenn and all you hear is that, all right, well, ⁓ like, ⁓ like Glenn's like, do you want to do any gambling or anything before we go? And she's like, nope, I just want to get married. Let's just go. Yeah.
Katie: Yeah, she's like, I just want to get married. So while they're thinking of each other, Robbie's hearing her voice in his head and her saying, I just always envisioned the right one being someone I can grow old with. And then he looks at Sammy and Sammy looks at him and goes, I know, I'll go get the car. And then Robbie says goodbye to Rosie who says, go get her.
Ireland: She starts to sing the rapper's delight, the I said a hip hop, a hippie to the hippie to the hip hop. Yes, like it's amazing. ⁓ She's doing a really great job. I don't think her and Robbie practiced that, but I love that for her. ⁓ And this is when they're
Katie: And then what does Rosie proceed to do? By the sugar hill gang, yeah? She's great at it. No.
Ireland: Julia and Glen are boarding and she just wants to get straight to the point. She just wants to get there get married. That's it. She doesn't want any funny business. ⁓ then we cut back to Robbie and I think it's Robbie, Holly and Sammy all in the car together and they are on the way to the airport and Robbie has an idea for a song. So he's going to write it on little napkins and anybody asking for pens and things like that. So then he can start writing out his song idea that he has for his lovely Julie.
Katie: Yeah.
Ireland: See
Katie: Yeah, yeah, because Holly was like, ⁓ she saw Linda in her underwear. Are you guys back together? He's like, no, God, no. And she's like, ⁓ well, she's on her way to Vegas right now, literally flying right now to go there. And he's like, well, of course we've got to stop it. So they're all like mad rushing, you know, and, Julia and Glenn, bored. And ⁓ then it shows Robbie, Holly and Sammy at the ticket ⁓ agent whose hair looks like the Flack of Seagulls guy. Exactly. And he's like, I need a ticket to Las Vegas. And he says, I have one ticket left for today, but it's only in first class. Otherwise you'll have to wait till tomorrow. And he looks at like, he's like, tomorrow will be too late.
Ireland: She looks like a seagulls. No, but I can see you do.
Katie: And he goes to Sammy, can I borrow your credit card? And Sammy's like, are you going to pay me back? And he's like, no, but if you don't give me your credit card, I'm going to tell everybody what she said back at the bar. And he gets, yes. So he does. But then I, but then you notice that Holly goes to Sammy like, ⁓ my God, that's sweet of you. And she like touches his shoulder and they're like getting a little like, you know, so he, he, he might get Holly out by giving them the credit card. So, you know, they would make a cute couple.
Ireland: But he was just opening his heart to him. Aww. Poor Z. Like a little flirty. Hey, everyone. Yeah.
Katie: ⁓ So Robbie is on a plane to Las Vegas on first class.
Ireland: Yeah, and we cut to coach on a plane as well because Julia ⁓ is thinking about what Robbie said earlier in the film saying like, well, I knew that she wasn't the one when she wouldn't let me sit in the window seat, right? And guess who's not in the window seat? Julia. Julia is in the freaking aisle seat. And she asked Glenn if like she can have the window seat because she's never been to Vegas before and he has and she wants to see it. He goes, well, let me do you one better. Why don't I just let you lean over me when we cross the strip like it's just like girl you are so disgusting.
Katie: Yeah, because she has smaller arms and he always gets hit by the beverage cart. He go and then she's like, but I've never seen the bright lights of Vegas. And he's like, hmm. He doesn't like the, hmm, I'll tell you what you can do. You can lean over me. Like I'd be like, go fuck yourself. Seriously.
Ireland: Yup. Yeah. Literally. Meanwhile, our king Robbie is in first class and he literally has no idea what's going on. Granted, I also would not know what to do here anyways, but like he gets handed like a hot towel and he literally like stuffs in his shirt like he's about to eat like a crab boil or something. He just has like a napkin in his shirt and he's like looking around like the the stewardess is like pointing to another guy and he's like you know dabbing his face within. Robbie's like, okay thanks and he's like dabbing it and then like throws it back on the plate because he
Katie: Mm-hmm. Me neither. Yeah. Yeah.
Ireland: doesn't know what to do with it. And then he just notices from a couple seats ahead of him that there's somebody sleeping on the plane and that very somebody is the Billy Idol.
Katie: Yeah. Billy Idol. Yes. And since this is 85, this is the height of Billy Idol. So this is, you know, the one of the flight attendants come by with champagne and he's like, would you like some champagne, sir? And he's like, well, how much is it? And he's like, it's free. And he's like, what? He's like, yeah. And then he's like, is that Billy Idol? And he goes, I believe it is, sir. And he goes, oh my God, this first class thing is so great. He goes, but I shouldn't drink.
Ireland: Mm-hmm.
Katie: And he says, I fell in love with this girl and she's going to marry an idiot. So I'm on my way to Vegas to stop them.
Ireland: And then this sweet older lady in the seats in front of him turns around and goes like, that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Katie: Who's knitting? And she's like, where
are they getting married at? And he's like, well, see, that's the thing. I don't know where they're getting married, but I'm going to run around town to find them, you know? And meanwhile, it cuts to Glenn looking out the window. He's like, the window. I poor Julia is just like sitting there like this. And here comes the beverage cart and it hits her elbow. And I swear, I feel it every time her elbow gets hit. I feel that. I could just feel that feeling. And she's like,
Ireland: Yeah. ⁓ Yeah, really funny film.
Katie: And what does Glenn say? Are you okay, honey? No, he goes, ooh, next time the cart comes around, will you grab me a Heideken?
Ireland: Thanks... God. Yeah, so now back to Robbie. He has a group of people surrounding him now He's telling everybody in first class and they're hanging on as every single word about him stopping Julia's wedding And that is including the now awake Billy Idol. He is early invested ⁓ and He's telling the whole story about okay Well, you know Julia came over to his house to you know Say that he she had some feelings for because that's what he heard from Holly And of course linda opened the door
Katie: Mm-hmm.
Ireland: wearing nothing but his Van Halen t-shirt and you just see her billy idol hang on every single word go no way
Katie: You
Ireland: ⁓ And now Robbie's just saying like I don't know what to do like she's gonna get married He's gonna ruin her life like she deserves so much better and Billy Idol gets it He says Glenn doesn't deserve her all he cares about our possessions these fancy cars CD players even women are possessions to him And this is the iconic line that might be the second most used line that we say all time. Maybe the first I'm not sure but Robbie says see Billy Idol gets it. I don't know why she doesn't
Katie: And then in walks a flight attendant. She's very, very pretty. And she tells the first class, you know, cause they're all buddies. ⁓ She's like, you won't believe that some guy that thinks he's Don Johnson just asked me to be part of the mile high club. He said I was grade A top choice meets. And Robbie's like.
Ireland: Ooh, yeah, this stems something in Robbie because he remembers that night at Spanky's when he heard that before, and who did he hear that before from? Glenn. Yeah.
Katie: Where- Good old Glenn, fancy Glenn there. Robbie's like, can you show me the guy? And before he does that, the older lady that was named, she's like, what's the Maya High Club? And then Billy Idol just goes and just laughs. He's like, many times, many, many, millions and millions of miles. So the flight attendant opens the curtain and shows like, oh, he's there, right there. And he's like, oh my God. He's like,
Ireland: Yeah, Billy's having time. for sure.
Katie: He's like, he ⁓ opens the curtain and Glenn, he goes, ⁓ my God, the mile high guy is Glenn. And everyone's like, no way. And he's like, you guys gotta help me. And then Billy Eddy goes, Roy, yeah.
Ireland: Yeah, we just see Julia reading a
Rolling Stone magazine with the icon Billy Idol on the cover, so... clearly amazing. ⁓ And we just hear like the voiceover speaker at the cabins and it's Billy Idol who is doing these things. ⁓ And he says that one of our first class passengers would like to sing a song inspired by one of our coach passengers. And this gets Julia's attention. She's like, And then Robbie starts singing the most iconic song from this movie, Grow Old With You. And Julia just knows from the sound of his angelic voice that it is Robbie. ⁓ And Glenn of course is like snoring in the corner. He's just like such as ⁓ he's I hate him
Katie: Yeah. Yes. Then Robbie comes through the curtain and sings to Julia, because of course she knows it's him. They're both so in love. She's so in love. And Gloves like, what's this guy doing here? And he tries to get over Julia to get into the aisle to get to Robbie. And the one male flight attendant goes, I'm sorry, sir, I have to serve the beverages now. And he's like pushing them. then, yeah.
Ireland: Pushing it with the cart. ⁓
Katie: And then he goes like, he goes across the roll five, cause it goes two, five and two. He goes across the roll five people and then he hits another card and it's Billy Idol's like, chicken or fish, sir. And he goes, Glenn goes, you better get out of my way, Billy, or you're going to get hurt. And Billy goes, oh yeah. And then a big biker guy gets up in front of Billy Idol and he's like, don't you talk to Billy Idol that way. And Billy's in the back like, like overlays like his shoulder, like, yeah. ⁓
Ireland: Yeah. The biker then pushes the cart back and then the blonde flight attendant that he hit on pushes him right in the restroom and then locks him in the bathroom and everybody's just like having a time. They're like, yes, finally get the skis ball out of here. ⁓ And Robbie wraps up the song and it's just, ⁓ it's so amazing. And Julia just tells him that that was the most beautiful song she's ever heard. And Robbie does this cute little confession. says, I have a confession to make. That song was about you.
Katie: Yes. Yes.
Ireland: And Julia's just giggling and Robbie says, I'm in love with you. And Julia responds with, I'm so in love with you. And they're about to kiss each other, but our lovely lad, Billy Idol, kind of interrupts them. He's like, you know what? That song wasn't too bad. I'm gonna tell my record company guys about him and see if I can get you a deal. And Robbie's like, can I kiss her first, please?
Katie: ⁓ yeah, do what you gotta do. That's what he says. And then they kiss and then it cuts to the same kissing and they're at their wedding together. And the wedding singer that's singing true by Spando Ballet is none other than Steve Buscemi's character who has learned to play the guitar. Looks like he got some therapy. His mind is his anger. Yes, and he's singing wonderfully. And you know, he's like, this much is true. And then he's like, Robbie and Ju.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. Yes, I some lessons. Robbie and Dee! I love that movie. ⁓
Katie: The end. That is The Wedding Singer. So great. ⁓ my God. I think that is definitely the most quoted movie that we have in this house. We live off of song lyrics and movie quotes. Our whole vocabulary involves that. We could literally talk in song lyrics, hand movements, and movie lines. All right. So let's see what I got here. ⁓ Again, IMDB.
Ireland: first. Yeah, we do. Yeah, that's really so true.
Katie: I'm generic. just went to IMDb for this one. The film had an $18 million budget. Opening weekend, it did $18,865,080, which is good. Grossed worldwide, $123,309,462, so did very well. The butterfly jean jacket Julia wears is Drew Barrymore's.
Ireland: Nice. Of course. She's an eyeball.
Katie: The director liked it so much. He's like, that's perfect for you. Just keep that, you know, use that. That's a great costume thing. Carrie Fisher, Judd Apatow, and Adam Sandler worked uncredited on the script. So yeah. The other person that worked on the script was the guy that played the bartender. He wrote the script. So the one's like, you can't bring that in here. You got it. Yeah.
Ireland: Wow, those are some names, ⁓ wow, Yeah, I love- I love Adam Sandler because he does all of these cameos and like all of the things so well.
Katie: ⁓ Betty White was considered for the role of Rosie. It would have worked.
Ireland: I would love that, but the original Rosie plays an amazing Rosie.
Katie: She's so, the original Rosie is so tiny and delicate and just teeny tiny that I think she works great, especially when she does the rapper's delights. It's so surprising, like, ⁓ my gosh, yes. ⁓ So Sammy's limo, his front license plate reads I am kinky and it's I-M-K-I-N-K-E. I am kinky is his limo, professional limo license plate. ⁓
Ireland: Bye! Yes.
Katie: Christopher McDonald, which you'll know as Shooter McGavin, was originally considered to play Glenn, but Adam Sandler was like, no, he's too old for Drew Barrymore. Like, no, he's 20 years older. So that was just too old.
Ireland: Yeah, and at that time Glenn Gullia, because what was this, 98? So yeah, so ER probably would have just, ER was 96, but he didn't go on until like season two. So he was kind of in the height of that and he was really young and cute on ER, so.
Katie: Mm. So poor the guy that plays Glengulio, because here's who else they had in mind before him. Matthew Broderick. Too nice. ⁓ Ben Stiller. Busy with something. There's something about Mary. He was filming that.
Ireland: ⁓ no. Therese Bueller, okay. Of course. Well, isn't he married to, what's her name? Yeah, Christine Taylor.
Katie: Christine Taylor, yes, who's Holly. ⁓ David Spade, who wasn't ready because he had just filmed Black Sheep and there was like a whole bunch of crap going on. know, Chris Farley was, you know, in and out of rehab. He was already, there was too much going on. David Spade's like, I can't, I can't do it. I'm not prepared for this. ⁓ Jim, let's see, Jim Carrey
was also considered.
Ireland: Yeah. Yeah. I do love young Jim Carrey though. I would have been okay with that.
Katie: Charlie Sheen to, I don't know. think he...
Ireland: i could see him in that role though, out of all those people you just listed i would probably see him yeah
Katie: I could though, just... Cause he was in Wall Street. So he could play the like junk bonds guy, ⁓ John Cryer.
Ireland: Do I say that you're in junk waitressing? No, tuner.
Katie: Junk Wager scene. John Cryer was one of them. Yeah, too, too, not, not mean enough. I feel like he's too, like, nerdy. He's forever ducky. Yeah. ⁓ Jack Black would be just, yeah, he's too, like,
Ireland: Yeah, like he's just always ducky. Yeah. I love Jack Black though, but I can't keep up with that. He's too funny and nice too. Unfortunately, Jack Black is typecast as Jack Black, so sorry. He's typecast as Jack Black. Or in the holiday, he is really good in the holiday.
Katie: Yeah, he's too lovable. Like, I feel like you can't... Yeah. Yeah, unfortunately, he's him. Owen Wilson.
Ireland: What are we doing, people? We're just going through the whole list.
Katie: Yeah, I don't see that at all. But he did get wedding crashers, so it's not like he did bad. got into wedding crashers. ⁓ Dave Chappelle was also considered, lightly considered. Yeah. Yeah, so they did eventually. There were other people too. Yeah, but I think casting the actor that did play Glenn, he was...
Ireland: No, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, what did you cr- yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, that's such a weird poll. That's such a weird poll. Like, I know. That was a perfect casting then. That was the perfect casting.
Katie: not crazy known, like everybody knows who Charlie Sheen was, you know, in 1998, everybody knew who like a lot of these people were, where I didn't know who this Glenn Guglia guy was. And then you didn't even know until you started rewatching ER and you're like, oh my God, he's in ER. I'm like, yeah.
Ireland: Yeah, yeah for sure. Yeah, yeah, I literally was watching ER for the first time because I'm a pit person and then I love Noah Wiley so much that I was like, I'm gonna watch ER and then I'm like, now I hate myself because ER is so addicting and ⁓ but all these people are in ER which is super cool.
Katie: Yeah, so he I feel like he was the perfect guy to play somebody that was a dick where you didn't already have You know thinking like ⁓ John crier's ducky. He can't be mean Yeah
Ireland: yeah, like he wasn't always... yeah, like he was never typecast as anybody like, i can't be mad at ferris bueler you know what i'm saying? like, i can't hate ferris bueler, so
Katie: Right. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah, that's exactly what ⁓ Adam Sandler was like. No, he's too nice. ⁓ And of course, Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, this was their first of three movies together, which was also, they did 51st States and Blended. Yes.
Ireland: Yeah. And they have the best chemistry on I just I believe that they literally have the best chemistry for any romance Like those two are just I don't know. I love it
Katie: And I also read, don't know if this, this, this idea, just read, I read randomly off of Google, Google search ⁓ that nobody wanted to hire Drew Barrymore at the time because you know, she had that drug problem. She was kind of a wild child. You know, she did the whole David Letterman, here's my boobs thing, ⁓ that whole stuff. Adam Sandler's like, no, I want to take a chance on her. Like, I think she's a great person. And this kind of gave her back her sweet girl. You know, she's just raised by terrible freaking parents. You know, she was definitely, yeah.
Ireland: Yeah, anytime it's a situation where you have to be emancipated from parents, it's just... ⁓
Katie: When you're in studio 54 at the age of like seven, yeah. So that's, he gave her the, I think that was great. ⁓ And of course Glenn's car is yes, a DeLorean, which is the same model that was in Back to the Future ⁓ for the Julia role. Here's just, there was like 70 people mentioned. So I did like the top ones. Natalie Portman.
Ireland: Yeah. course. ⁓ The top five or so. Okay. I could.

Katie: And Pam Anderson, just because she's gorgeous, think, is the whole.
Ireland: Well, Doug, Queen, but she just, yeah, love her. Love her and Liam Neeson together.
Katie: So Julia's character was originally written with like not a lot of depth and the writer that wrote it said gave it to Carrie Fisher and was like give Julia depth and she's like, know, like all you got to do is make her smart and you know likeable and It's fine, you know, like that's all you got to do. And so her her character Carrie Fisher gave her that
