… get, people come by all the time, take pictures. I'm sure. It's like the, like the Michael Myers house and a bunch of them. Yeah. That's all I got for that. Apex Mountain. Steve Martin. Steve Martin. You can make the case. Maybe like at this point, I still think it's probably 1978 or 1979 range when he's got the jerk out. He's the biggest comic in the world. He's on SNL. That's the most famous. So I would say that you could make a case for second career Steve Martin right around here. Like mainstream Steve Martin. Mainstream Steve Martin. Starts here. Yes. Because I don't think he like hosts the Oscars or …

The whole segment, as transcribed

backyard stuff was filmed. Okay. So like all the basketball, the exteriors were filmed at the Pasadena house that I've driven by. The people paid 950 for the house in 1999. It's now worth way more than that. But they get, people come by all the time, take pictures. I'm sure. It's like the, like the Michael Myers house and a bunch of them. Yeah. That's all I got for that. Apex Mountain. Steve Martin. Steve Martin. You can make the case. Maybe like at this point, I still think it's probably 1978 or 1979 range when he's got the jerk out. He's the biggest comic in the world. He's on SNL. That's the most famous. So I would say that you could make a case for second career Steve Martin right around here. Like mainstream Steve Martin. Mainstream Steve Martin. Starts here. Yes. Because I don't think he like hosts the Oscars or does any of his sort of just kind of America's dad stuff without this movie. Yeah. Mainstream Steve Martin. This is Apex Mountain. Okay. Diane Keaton. No, but mainstream Diane Keaton. Still no, but that's probably in the mid nineties, right? That's 95 range. Well, I would say it's something's got to give, which is her like full Nancy Myers movie that she stars in. And I think that's like 2003. Yeah. I think that Diane Keaton's Apex Mountain is Annie Hall. So what's interesting is they both have their Apex Mountain, right? Like 13, 14 years before this movie. Kimberly Williams. Yes. Father daughter movies. Undeniably. Yes. Yes. Nancy Myers. No. San Marino. A hundred percent. Yes. Dads. Probably not, but I'd throw it out there. Wedding, wedding movies. I, it might be for me. Do you have so too? Even though we have nitpicks, I still think it's the wedding movie Apex. It's a whole movie built around a wedding. That's ultimately like a happy movie and not Rachel's getting married where it's just complete dysfunction and people fucking in the basement. Right. And it's like all of your other favorite wedding movies or movies that, you know, except for like the Godfather. I don't count the Godfather as a wedding movie, even though the wedding is important, but they all come after father's bride. This like really starts the nineties explosion of everything from four weddings and a funeral to wedding planner and wedding singer. And you name it. People are like, Oh yeah. Weddings. Great setting for a movie. Right. I'm with you. That's all I have for Apex Mom. Okay. I have one more break and then we're going to pick some myths. This episode is brought to you by Sleep Doctor.

There's no father, father, daughter dance. I mean, just the father, the father would be present at the wedding, especially a wedding this organized like he would be there taking photos like he would have to. They would need to make sure there's someone who's in charge of running the wedding
