The whole segment, as transcribed

Yeah. What is that about? A lot of soundstage interior stuff. Do we... Why? And then they used a wide shot of Thousand Oaks. Probably because Thousand Oaks is 100 degrees. And they did some Montecito in Santa Barbara. And that's it. Yeah. Apex Mountain. Okay. It's no for Meryl Streep. I don't know what her Apex Mountain was. She probably just is on top of the mountain. Just with chilling. Yeah. I don't know if she even had an Apex Mountain. I'm kind of with you on Devil Wears Prada. Yeah. It's like the two versions of her, right? Like early Meryl Streep is like mid-80s and then second career. It's probably... That's like the Tom Brady 20-3 game Meryl Streep. I mean, you could argue she does Devil Wears Prada and then does Mamma Mia, which makes like almost a billion dollars. Leading to this and then to Iron Lady. She just... I was kind of saying this when you talked about Brady, but she didn't have a dead period. There's like no skips on her. Like every decade she has classics. She still makes... Like Don't Look Up, which is a flawed movie. Right. She's so funny in it, in a small role. I mean, she's just... RIP Big Little Lies. She was so good at it. She was so funny. And otherwise, I don't know what happened, but you know, I like literally actually don't remember how it ended. Blacked out the entire series. The only thing I remember from the season that you and I recapped is Meryl Streep screaming at the table. I miss that show. Are they going to... Did they make a third season or have they just talked about it? They're making it just as different shows that are on like Hulu. Right. Where it's like... Nancy String Myers. And then nobody's figured out how to crack it. It's like, what if Nancy Myers went super dark? Yes. It's kind of you again. I would watch all of it, but I still don't actually remember how it ended. I'll blink. Realtor for best rom-com job? It's not bad. Own your own real estate place? It's not bad. It's no architect. What about corporate real estate? Yeah, like real estate investor. How about that? Building office buildings? Yeah. I got a humdinger here. Ready? Marine biologist. Yeah, but then... Never seen one with a marine biologist. So Sandra Bullock... Because you're like animal lover. That's just what kids want to be when you're just thinking about what kids want to be when they grow up. Maybe. Yeah. But that's what these characters are. Two weeks notice starring Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, I think pretty underrated, even though Donald Trump is in it. They call her like boyfriend that she never sees, and it's not a real relationship, is a marine biologist, I think for like... In two weeks notice. Sea peace or something. And so he's never around. So that's the thing about marine biologists is they're unavailable. Female job in a rom-com sports writer. There's been a few over the years. Oh, yeah. It's happened a few times, which I feel like... Are any of them good? No. At sports writing? Oh, I was thinking of the movies. I don't think there's any good ones with female sports writers. Is Zoe Deutsch in Set It Up? Yes. She wants to be a sports writer? Yes. Right? Good call. Yeah, yeah. Remember that's the one with... One of the rare good rom-coms. Like the fake ringer? Yeah. I remember that one. Lucy Liu. That movie, it's one of the best rom-coms. It was fake Grantland, wasn't it? Was it fake ringer or fake Grantland? It was during ringer time, but you know, probably with turnaround, it's fake Grantland. They didn't have podcasts. What would be the best ESPN job for a rom-com? For the man or the woman? Like talking head. It could be either. Could it be PTI co-host? Let's see. Can't find love in Washington? Sideline reporter? Sideline reporter is the answer. Good job. Yeah. Yeah, because you set up so many good... That's the perfect one. For either sex. You set up so many funny moments with players. This is why Trainwreck, I think, made him a sports doctor for the setup, the set pieces that came out of that, and also to get LeBron James in the movie. I thought LeBron was good in it. LeBron was good in that movie. He's very funny. Yeah, I support LeBron's performance. One of the better athlete acting performances. Alec Baldwin, Apex Mountain. It might be. With this and 30 Rock at the same time. And SNL. And he's like, yeah. Yeah, this character. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Steve Martin, no. Steve Martin's Apex was the late 70s when he had The Jerk and the number one comedy album and was selling out arenas everywhere and was the best SNL host. Yeah. Yeah. His and Her Sinks? Apex Mountain? Oh, well, she gets rid of it. Has there been more conversation about His and Her Sinks in a movie ever? I'm literally thinking through the other Nancy Meyers movies. I thought she made a good case about... Yeah, and it makes me feel bad. It just makes you feel bad. Yeah, yeah. But then Steve Martin says, well, maybe you might want the His. I gotta tell you, though. We finally got His and Her Sinks. They're a must. They're just not waiting to brush your teeth is absolutely... It's the little things, you know, that change your life. Are you guilty of the same creep as I am where my stuff is just slowly migrated over and taken over the entire vanity? That's the thing. The double sink situation. We actually have separate... Like, there's a bake, like, separate basins. Okay, fancy. And the counter doesn't go. No, it's... But then I do use Zach's sometimes for, like, other stuff. Because mine is, like, full of everything. And so then I gotta go over and use His counter space. Nancy Meyers. I think it's the holiday. Well, the holiday... Didn't the holiday make, like, a shitload of money? Yeah. Did it? It's gotta be the holiday. I thought it did. I think that... I think that's... It's something's gotta give? Yeah, I think because I... Let's do Nancy Meyers' box office really quickly. Because if I recall... I thought the holiday crushed. Nancy... I might be wrong. They all make about $200 million. Well, I think that's true. But I think the holiday was a little bit lower in... Domestically. And then... Alright, so we'll go something's gotta give. Something's gotta give also gets... More nominations, right? And acting. I mean, something's gotta give is a better movie. I love this movie. I'm thrilled to rewatch it. But I actually rewatched something's gotta give this weekend as well. Oh, look at you. Yeah, I'm a completist. And that was actually kind of a mistake. Because when you watch them back to back... Yeah. Something's gotta give is slightly better. Yeah. I think I agree with that. I mean, it is. Performances. But I enjoy this movie more because it's funnier and there's more stuff to make fun of. Completely. I'm with you 100%. We don't get three zombie unemployed kids and something's gotta give. Divorce couple movies? Not the apex, but... Where the couple is still... It centers around the couple being divorced but still being together? Yeah. I mean, sorry to be Sean for a second, but then there is like a whole... Well, you go the 50s, 60s. Yeah, the comedy of remarriage. Like, His Girl Friday. They're divorced. You know? And then they wind up together. I thought the greatest thing you did there was to be sorry to be Sean there for a second. Which somehow felt insulting, which I loved. I was like, I know she's gonna say something pretentious.
