The claim

… content to not know. Only one is sort of my response to that. Let's just say he got a 70 year prison sentence. This is how it ended. So you can Google that. Apex Mountain. Michael Douglas. I'm going to say no because he had Fatal Attraction on Wall Street in the same year. I think he has to be the 87. 87 is ridiculous. Turner. Probably not. This is the tail end. Yeah. I think it's got to be mid 80s. Yeah. It's probably romantic in the sun. The 1960 British Morgan Roadster plus four. Oh interesting. You tell us. You tell us. There's only four. In the world? Yeah. Oh. Okay. The car that they had I think there …

guy who got inspired by this movie and it gets super dark. Okay. If people want to Google that they can Google it. I'll tell you later. I'm content to not know. Only one is sort of my response to that. Let's just say he got a 70 year prison sentence. This is how it ended. So you can Google that. Apex Mountain. Michael Douglas. I'm going to say no because he had Fatal Attraction on Wall Street in the same year. I think he has to be the 87. 87 is ridiculous. Turner. Probably not. This is the tail end. Yeah. I think it's got to be mid 80s. Yeah. It's probably romantic in the sun. The 1960 British Morgan Roadster plus four. Oh interesting. You tell us. You tell us. There's only four. In the world? Yeah. Oh. Okay. The car that they had I think there was only four of the exact car which they made it seem like it was a more common car but that specific car was. And didn't they actually wreck that car? I think they did. That's really irresponsible. I might be wrong on that. I might have the wrong info but I think that's how rare that version of that car was. Is that a car that you would like to drive? No. Those cars are awful. I don't know. Just like to know what you think about cars. So 1960 but it was designed to look like a 1929 car but now in 2024. Can you imagine driving that in LA? He just sticks with that. He gets the first one. Well I think the point is he's a douche. Yeah. He quickly becomes a huge douche bag. Which she should have known when she saw his hair when they were in fake Nantucket. Right. Look at this fucking guy's hair. Just put a hat on him. Put like a baseball cap turned backwards on him. If you want to see him wear a baseball cap I'll refer you once again to his work as Hank Pym. Oh boy. Danny DeVito Danny DeVito had this and like Twins right around the same time. So I think we are like around the DeVito apex. Interesting. Twins was a massive massive movie that everyone saw. Pate? Hmm. At least for movies. Revenge Pate. Revenge Pate? Okay. But not the apex for like I am either pretending to or really did put somebody important to you in a thing that you then ate. That'll be that's free pie. It's gotta be. Divorce movies. No. No. It's Kramer vs. Chris. It's gotta be Kramer vs. Kramer. Right. I think that you guys should both rewatch Marriage Story but that's just No that is like absolutely one of my favorites. That's in my top four for sure. Unreal. Mine too. Yeah. The joke what do you call 500 Lawyers at the Bottom of the Ocean a good start? It's either this or Philadelphia or other movies. Houses that can ruin a marriage?
