Hey What's up?
Angeline Compau:
I feel like I haven't seen you in forever.
Rebecca Smith:
I know because I was gone you were gone then I was gone
Angeline Compau:
yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
How and your Florida was good although we kind of got the gist of your Florida
Angeline Compau:
Yep.
Rebecca Smith:
The Knight parade
Angeline Compau:
yes we did.
Rebecca Smith:
My Florida was good.
Angeline Compau:
You guys
Rebecca Smith:
at the bungalows
Angeline Compau:
went on your romantic getaway.
Rebecca Smith:
yes.
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah, our 15 year anniversary two years later.
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
It was nice. It was really I really liked the place
Angeline Compau:
dude. Rebecca FaceTimed me last weekend, it was so freaking cool. I feel like really like celebrities or
Rebecca Smith:
I can't even talk about it. something. I feel like, like the resort of frickin luxury. I can't even talk.
Angeline Compau:
I feel like royalty would vacation there.
Rebecca Smith:
It was nice. And no, like, all of the bungalows are pretty much the same. It's just the area like if you have like a garden, or if you have a beach. So if you have Beach, your little front porch faces, the ocean, basically. And ours didn't. So we had like the back garden instead of like the beach, whatever. But
Angeline Compau:
they had these private bungalows, and it looked like dirty dancing.
Rebecca Smith:
It was so cool.
Angeline Compau:
That was so cool. You know, like, if you've seen the movie, how they're all lined up, and that's everybody's got their own little cabins. I was like, Oh my gosh, maybe she's gonna meet the dance instructor. And they fall in love and Josh can go fuck himself. And just, it's gonna be great.
Rebecca Smith:
Nice. See, but they didn't have that they didn't have like the activities thing. Well, they have like, you could do yoga. Or you could go out on like kayaks. They didn't have any really night life. They had a guy that would come in and play music and that was pretty much it.
Angeline Compau:
They wanted you in bed
Rebecca Smith:
and shit shut down at like 11 which is fine for me. Because we went to bed earlier at night anyway, because you're up so early. And then you're just in the sun and drinking all day.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so by the time you're and then you eat all day, cuz everything's all inclusive.
Angeline Compau:
No, I got I gotta have stuff going on at night. And then I want to sleep all day.
Rebecca Smith:
And that's what we were talking about because we were talking about okay, if we were to come here like with a group of people, who would we bring? And I said, I think Angeline would like it. But I did think that she might not because there's no like night action. There's no nightlife. There's no like dancing or anything.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
the one that we went to in Cancun had like a had more nightlife, even though it was couples only but it was still had more of like a nightlife action. Like they would have a DJ at night and people go and drink and
Angeline Compau:
not that I don't like sleeping, because that's my favorite thing to do. But I would like something going on at night. So I can go party. And then I want to sleep all day at the beach.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
that's where I want to get my sleep in.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah. And I don't have to drink during the day. Because I'll be sleeping.
Rebecca Smith:
But it's all inclusive.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, I'll get my money's worth at night.
Rebecca Smith:
Well, not at this place.
Angeline Compau:
I still would like it
Rebecca Smith:
yeah, this this place is more of a relaxed vacation, not like a go out party vacation.
Angeline Compau:
I feel like they'd also kick me out for not allowing other guests to relax, because I would be too obnoxious.
Rebecca Smith:
There were there were a few people like that there.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, good. I'll fit in with them.
Rebecca Smith:
A little bit of obnoxious. Yeah, Josh. I just sat there leering at them. Just kidding.
Angeline Compau:
You were those guys?
Rebecca Smith:
No. We never said anything or anything. It was funny. But yeah, it was. We had a lot of fun. It was good. It was a nice getaway. Now Josh is looking for houses in the keys.
Angeline Compau:
Oh my gosh,
Rebecca Smith:
I know. You're gonna have to move down there so we can do the podcast.
Angeline Compau:
What?
Rebecca Smith:
Just saying
Angeline Compau:
I can I can FaceTime you. I don't know if I can move as much as I'd like to move to Florida.
Rebecca Smith:
There's technology now Angeline we'll figure it out. We did get a comment. And this is what I was just talking about before because we keep recording so many in advance.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
that we get I get comments from people and then I don't get to talk about them until like two weeks later. So you were talking, I don't even know what I don't even know what this is in reference to. I think there was something in one of the podcasts where you said I would sit on his face.
Angeline Compau:
Um,
Rebecca Smith:
who was that? Who were we talking about?
Angeline Compau:
Will Arnet. I said I
Rebecca Smith:

Angeline Compau:
I want to sit on his face and let his deep voice vibrate all over my lady bits is what I said.
Rebecca Smith:

Rebecca Smith:
Besides that,
Angeline Compau:
I've seen his sex tape.
Rebecca Smith:
You have?
Angeline Compau:
fuck yeah, I have. When I heard he had one. I was like, just the first thing I did was Google that shit
Rebecca Smith:
I thought about after after reading and listening and all this other stuff. I thought about looking it up. But then it just felt too personal. I couldn't do it.
Angeline Compau:
Why?
Rebecca Smith:
I don't know,
Angeline Compau:
it was. I mean, it was grainy. 1980s
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah, because it was like VHS.
Angeline Compau:
Yes. Like it wasn't, wasn't anything like great quality. So like you couldn't make out? Like, I mean, you could see stuff.
Rebecca Smith:
No, HD.
Angeline Compau:
No, no, no, no, no. I mean, you could he has the hottest body.
Rebecca Smith:
Yes. so cute.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
So I, I just remembered I was I was telling Josh today I said, I don't know, I can't remember. Like when I first like thought about Rob Lowe or I mean, I know St. Elmo's fire is probably like, what I know him most for, but I don't remember like, oh, it's Rob Lowe. You know, yeah. Rob Lowe. Like it was always like Rob Lowe, you know, wasn't like I had like this epiphany of Oh, my God, he so you know, I never he was just always there.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And then I realized, like reading this, like, how many of his movies I hadn't seen that I knew about, but I just Oh, yeah. No, I haven't. I haven't seen that. Like, it's totally weird.
Angeline Compau:
Really?
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. Yeah. How many of you seen it seen?
Angeline Compau:
Oh, like the first thing I ever saw with him in it was Tommy Boy.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, okay.
Angeline Compau:
And I like I didn't think anything of him because he was mean in that movie. So I was like, Oh, I don't like him.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
I saw the outsiders.
Rebecca Smith:
See, I'd never seen the outsiders. I now went into a deep Rob Lowe rabbit hole and watched a shit ton of movies that he was in. But yes,
Angeline Compau:
I've never seen St. Elmo's Fire.
Rebecca Smith:
I know.
Angeline Compau:
I've never seen that. But I know he's in it.
Rebecca Smith:
And that is like primo Rob Lowe, which is what he talks about in the book. But
Angeline Compau:
yeah, what else I seen
Rebecca Smith:
you have to see St. Elmo's Fire
Angeline Compau:
Austin Powers.
Rebecca Smith:
Yes.
Angeline Compau:
And but that's later. I guess
Rebecca Smith:
that's after Tommy Boy I think.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah. That's way later. My most favorite thing that he's ever done was Parks and Rec. Because that show's
Rebecca Smith:
Did you watch the West Wing?
Angeline Compau:
legendary. No, because, you know what? Once upon a time that was on Netflix like 2010 11 or whatever.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah.
Angeline Compau:
And my ex watched the whole entire series. And I was like, this is the most boring shit I've ever seen in my freaking life. I would rather blow my brains out the watch it
Rebecca Smith:
It was a good show. It was Josh's favorite show.
Angeline Compau:
That says a lot
Rebecca Smith:
Case in point.
Angeline Compau:
Case in point. Thank you
Rebecca Smith:
no, it was a
Angeline Compau:
worst show of all time.
Rebecca Smith:
good show. I remember it being on I remember. Yeah. Okay, so let's just start with god, he's so cute. I can't even talk about it
Angeline Compau:
you have to cover that book up because it's doing things to me.
Rebecca Smith:
So he's actually he grew up in Ohio, like in Dayton, Ohio.
Angeline Compau:
No kidding.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah, he moved when he was a baby to Dayton, Ohio, lived there. And till he moved to California, which I think he was like getting ready to start seventh grade when he moved to California. But grew up in Dayton started acting at age eight in a little acting troupe there called peanut butter and jelly. Um, his mom and dad divorced, you know he has a brother Chad Lowe who also acts very cute as well.
Angeline Compau:
I didn't know he had a brother.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah, he has two
Angeline Compau:
any of them my age.
Rebecca Smith:
No. He has sons though.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, Googling that right now. Let me get my phone out.
Rebecca Smith:
Johnowen and and I want to say Matthew?
Angeline Compau:
Oh my god. Yeah, close enough to my age. Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
There you go.
Angeline Compau:
Matthew Edward Lowe, Come to mama
Rebecca Smith:
you're so weird.
Angeline Compau:
I know
Rebecca Smith:
so like reading this book. It's like a weird Forrest Gump kind of life here.
Angeline Compau:
Ah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so like he met Liza Minnelli when he was little he met like all of these people. He dated Cary Grant's daughter. I mean, there was just like so many like run ins.
Angeline Compau:
He talked about that on a podcast.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
I remember that because he did a really good Cary Grant impression.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. So yeah, it just like all of these random Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
yeah. run ins read like Forrest Gump. Totally like Forrest Gump. Oh man, now I gotta read that
Rebecca Smith:
he moved to Malibu at like age 12. And he's like, he says, it's not like the the Malibu of now it's like 1976 Malibu where it was like, surfers, hippies, you know, just not like anything that it is now.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And he never really like found a group that he fit in with. But he remembers like being he went to the market one day, and there was a group of kids that were making a movie. And he's like, Oh, my God, you know, you guys are actors, too. It was Chris Penn was making a movie on the street with his best friend Charlie and his brother Emilio and his brother, Sean. So these are the kids that he hung out with Chris Penn and Sean Penn.
Angeline Compau:
Okay. I was like, did she mean Sean Penn? Because I have no idea who that is.
Rebecca Smith:
Chris Penn is Sean Penn's brother
Angeline Compau:
who was Chris Penn?
Rebecca Smith:
He's an actor too. He was in Footloose.
Angeline Compau:
He was? I don't know who that is.
Rebecca Smith:
I think so. Yeah. Chris Penn, Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez. Those were the group of kids that were making this movie that he started hanging out with
Angeline Compau:
also, Emilio.
Rebecca Smith:
I know. And so they so they're making this movie. And he's like, Wow, you guys are actors, too. And Chris Penn is like, yeah, he goes, Well, I mean, we're not. We're just like fooling around here. But you know, Charlie's dad's an actor. And he's off in the Philippines right now making some movie, which was Apocalypse Now.
Angeline Compau:
I was just about to say that I was like, you're in the Philippines. I know what that is.
Rebecca Smith:
Exactly. And so then, like, the whole thing was like, how it messed him up making that movie.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
and stuff. And
Angeline Compau:
yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
So then, um, like, all these weird chance encounters. He goes to a baseball game. He's like, he goes, it was weird, like, Lord of the Flies back then. Like, you know, kids would just go off which that's true. When I was growing up. It was like that, too.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
kids would just go off and he's like, we would take a bus down to LA to go watch a Dodgers game. And you know, our parents were nowhere to be found
Angeline Compau:
the good old days.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, the good old days, right. So they're, they're at this Dodgers game. And they got into like, I think, a scuffle or something like that. And a guy was helping them out. And it turns out that this guy was like the head puppeteer for the Muppets, and invited them to this to watch a taping of the Muppets, which was huge
Angeline Compau:
Jim Hensen?
Rebecca Smith:
No, it wasn't Jim Henson.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
it was a huge deal back then. So they went to the studio to watch this taping of the Muppets, but Jim Henson was doing Kermit the Frog when they were filming the rainbow song rainbow connection for the Muppet Movie. So they got to watch it. Like see totally Forrest Gump. Right?
Angeline Compau:
All because you got in a fight,
Rebecca Smith:
yeah. And somebody helped you. And then his mom remarried. And his stepdad, brother in law and sister were into like animation back then. And it wasn't like real and it was like a precursor to like CGI that they were doing. And they were working on a movie. And they invited them down to the set. And they were working on Star Wars. And so he got to see like early cuts of Star Wars. They were doing like the special effects stuff. And so he got to watch them film, like the models that they were going through and like through the Death Star and stuff like that. And he goes and then we'll later on we cut in the spaceship and he goes, well what does the spaceship look like and they're like, Oh, it's over there. And he looks over and it's the Millennium Falcon. It's like models and all of these things that they were shooting.
Angeline Compau:
How does one person have so much luck?
Rebecca Smith:
Exactly, right?
Angeline Compau:
It isn't even fair
Rebecca Smith:
It's like totally crazy. Totally crazy. So he wasn't really acting very much in Malibu. He was mostly just hanging out with them. He would go back to Ohio for Summer for to spend with his dad. But peanut butter and jelly didn't want him in their troop anymore either. So kind of like alright,
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
So then that show didn't last. Then he got the well this sucks. So he comes back he starts doing like commercials. He did some commercial at a commercial with Regis Philbin. And he's Yeah, so he does like an he gets a pilot for a TV show. And I think they filmed for like, one season, like overnight like, it went crazy. Like they the studio audience frees up the studio audience for the very next audition for outsiders.
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
And he said it was it was different than any other audition that he had been on. Because of the fact that he taping that we did, after the show aired, was filled with made all of everybody auditioned together in the same room. Yeah. So he teenage girls. So they announce him, they introduce the cast and
Angeline Compau:
that's not scary, or anything at all
Rebecca Smith:
I know, Francis Ford Coppla, Because he so he's like, yeah, it was me. Emelio, every kid, you know, in there was like trying out for parts in this they announce him, and these girls start screaming. And they
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
he really wanted to be Sodapop, which is what he ended up getting. But he's like, I wanted that because it had he had that big emotional scene at the end. He cries and this and had to like try and quiet down the audience. And he goes after that. And he goes, I just thought it was the meatiest role and that that's what he read. Like that part of it was what he that. There was nobody under a certain age allow under the age read.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
in the audition. And so like Francis ford Coppla would put people together and he'd be like, Okay, you read this part, you read this part? No matter like, if that's the of 18 allowed in the studio audience because he blew up. part that you're trying out for not he just wanted to see how they all interacted. And so he's like, Tom Cruise was super super intense.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, no kidding.
Rebecca Smith:
Even at a young age,
Angeline Compau:
I believe it.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. So yeah, so they all audition together, they all end up getting their separate parts and stuff like that. He Francis Ford Coppola had them like, live together. Like they had to he wanted the brothers to stay in the house that they were going to be filming in. And he wanted to see like their camaraderie and stuff like that. And, and some of the stuff that they did in the house they ended up using in the final picture, like them cooking in the kitchen and stuff like that.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, that's cool.
Rebecca Smith:
They ended up using, but he said it was just a
Angeline Compau:
Well, he's way older than those guys. really cool experience. Like, yeah, so he, he tells like, he
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. He was married. did his whole thing with the outsiders. And one thing that he
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
When they made that move, right. And so yeah, said about that was he was filming his big scene at the end. He's like, This is it. I'm emotionally preparing for this. And it's me and Patrick Swayze and C Thomas Howell which he said, Patrick Swayze was not in that audition process. He didn't have to do all of that, that everybody else did. so anyway, so he's saying, it's, it's time for my big scene. It's, you know, raining and we're doing it. We're filming and he goes, we did like five different takes. And I like gave it all I had. And it was so good. And it was so awesome. And by the end of it, you know, Patrick just looked at me and he's like, you know, you did really good. That was awesome. This and that. So then Franis Ford Coppla was like, Okay, are you ready to do it again, for the close up? Rob Lowe was like, mortified. He's like, I'm sorry, what? He goes, there he goes, there were tons of cameras set up. I had no idea that they needed to get other shots, like adjust my face or anything else. He was I had already given everything that I had to give. And now I have to do it over and I just didn't have any goes. So I tried, like a couple of takes, and it was horrible. And so then I think I can't remember who was maybe C Thomas Howell, somebody pulled him aside and talked to him. And then got him right back on track. And, you know, we, we can do this. We're brothers we can, you know, like, encouraged him and they got him all of his feels again. And so then he was able to do it.
Angeline Compau:
I would have been pissed though.
Rebecca Smith:
With the close up.
Angeline Compau:
I would have been like, come on
Rebecca Smith:
he goes and he goes That's just like the part of me being totally new at this. This is his first movie. He had no idea how any of it worked. And like the the the socesl and the Greasers.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
Francis Ford Coppola had them like stay on different floors. He really wanted to keep like the segregation of it in making the movie and so he said that the the they were doing like a photo shoot, and they had like they would they would film the shoot the soces. And then the greasers got up to do their photoshoot. They're all just sitting there. And he said they had a really hard time with keeping some of the local kids because where they shot, you know, it wasn't a very, like wealthy community. It was, you know, poverty stricken or whatever. They had a hard time keeping some of the local kids away from like the craft services tables and stuff like that, that were just out there. And so when the PA was there, and the Soces were off to the side the greasers were getting their pictures taken their group shot and the production assistants like GET AWAY GET OUT OF HERE you ragamuffins this is for the talent. And Ralph Machio goes, Yeah, cuz Leif Garrett was one of the soces that was just kind of like a dick to them. He's like, Yeah, Leif, did you here, leave it for the talent, and they all just start cracking up and that's the picture that they used for the poster of the outsiders. That's their group shot after Ralph Machiomade that joke.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
yeah,
Angeline Compau:
I have to look that up now.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, I have it here in this book, here I can show you.
Angeline Compau:
Every single dude in that movie. I just, oh, they that was the casting was on point.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. Well, also what he realized from the outsiders was they were doing they were getting ready to release it. It kept getting pushed back. And this and that, it was supposed to be released at Christmas. And then they decided to move it back, which wasn't really a good sign about it.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
So then all they were all these people were invited to do invited to the premiere of it or something like that. And he wasn't, and so or to do a promotion for it, and he wasn't and he couldn't figure out why. So then he went to a screening of it and realize that all of his big scenes were cut. So in the original outsiders, he was barely in it. So I watched they ended up releasing maybe like 20 years later, a director's cut, which is the that goes more in line with the book.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so that's the one that I watched him.
Angeline Compau:
I can't remember which version I've ever watched now. I think I also bought it on DVD. i It's like super nostalgic for me.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
cuz I read that book. And then I watched it in middle school. Oh, my God. Frickin teen heartthrobs.
Rebecca Smith:
I know, Right,
Angeline Compau:
but yeah, I know. I don't remember because I do feel like he wasn't in a lot of that movie.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
Soda Pop is a huge character.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. And that's why that's why he said he really wanted that role.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And, yeah, so then, after that, he goes on to make Class, which I had never seen.
Angeline Compau:
Never heard of it.
Rebecca Smith:
Andrew McCarthy, Rob Lowe. John Cusack, Alan Ruck, all these like kids. Virginia Madsen, is in it? All these kids were in it. And it's it's kind of like a play on like the graduate?
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
yeah.
Angeline Compau:
Okay,
Rebecca Smith:
that's pretty good. It was all right.
Angeline Compau:
All right.
Rebecca Smith:
I watched it the other day. And then after that, there was a weird one. I think the next one was a hotel in New Hampshire. Which was like a super creepy like it was him Jodie Foster. A weird like family weird incest. movie
Angeline Compau:
oh,
Rebecca Smith:
it was bizarre.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
it was bizarre.
Angeline Compau:
Okay. No, thank you.
Rebecca Smith:
It was weird. And then after that was Oxford blues. Did you see Oxford blues?
Angeline Compau:
No.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, that was good, too.
Angeline Compau:
Never heard of it.
Rebecca Smith:
He's a kid that falls in love, Well, idolizes a Princess, that is going to Oxford University. And so he like cheats his way into Oxford University and just to find her and
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
Try and dater her and stuff. So it was good. A little meh. But he's the it talks in the book about art imitating life because he wanted to meet Princess Stephanie in Monaco.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
and he got the opportunity to when he was in London doing a shoot for Oxford Blues, I think, and got to meet her. And he's like, it was like the most surreal thing that ever happened. But let me just read this to you please.
Angeline Compau:
Okay, I'm listening
Rebecca Smith:
it's ridiculous.
Angeline Compau:
I'm listening.
Rebecca Smith:
Let me see where I want to start. Alright, I'm just gonna start from here. So this guy, Delaurentis. He wants to have a meeting with him. He ends up with an offer because this guy Delaurentis is going to make the movie. Dune.
Angeline Compau:
Shut up. Oh, my God, why is everything come back to Dune?
Rebecca Smith:
what he says this is the exact kind of film that takes an actor to the next level, huge leading man part giant budget international appeal, and a built in fan base for a book that people have been trying to shoot for years. But there are two problems. One there is no finishd script and two do you know, is demanding a commitment for three sequels. It's hard to imagine now as you look at films today, but there was a time when No self respecting actor would dream of making a sequel. True.
Angeline Compau:
Really?
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah, it was gauche. It was so shamelessly commercial that it simply wasn't done. And don't give me the godfather two example that was an anomaly. Eventually the stigma would be scrubbed away by corporate pressure bottom line minded studio, presidents producers needing to keep the lights on, and stars tired of turning down cash while waiting for artistic parts that never came. But as I discussed the offer for dune and its three sequels on the phone with my agents, it's a real issue. I table this discussion and turn to the problem of the non existent shooting script. While not uncommon, it's never a great sign. My agents told me that I can approve it before I show up for work. I don't have official approval, but they'll work with me. Again, not a great sign. But I'm inclined to roll the dice the upside on a movie like this is just too big. I just want to circle back to the sequel commitment issue clause says one of my agents, you will be committing to potentially doing the three dune movies at their option. I've only read the first two books I say anyone read the third? I have says one of the agents. What do I do in it? I ask. You become the sandworm
Angeline Compau:
ah, spoiler alert.
Rebecca Smith:
I'm sorry. You become Sandworm a big one about 300 feet long.
Angeline Compau:
What the hell?
Rebecca Smith:
I am a worm in the second sequel, I ask, not all of you just your head. It's a long worm like body. I do think it calls for 300 feet, but it's only your head that would be seen on top of the body, a worm head for lack of a better description. There's a long silence. Not a huge commitment when you really think about it adds another agent, helpfully, guys, I'm gonna have to get back to you. I say hanging up, as I will do for years. Whenever it's crunch time, I need to make a tough call. I take a long walk to think I agonized over the decision. But I just can't get the image of my face on a giant tapeworm out of my head. I know the Italians are world masters of style, but I doubt even they could pull this off and I pass. Dune ends up being an embarrassing debacle for all
Angeline Compau:
yes, it does.
Rebecca Smith:
It Does. Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
good call.
Rebecca Smith:
Good call there Rob.
Angeline Compau:
Dune is embarrassing.
Rebecca Smith:
So he does Class with Andrew McCarthy, Oxford Blues. Then he does Youngblood
Angeline Compau:
Nope
Rebecca Smith:
With Patrick Swayze,
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
which is a hockey movie, which I couldn't I didn't get to see that one because I couldn't find it anywhere to stream. And that is when he's like He goes. I was I was so excited to play it. But one thing I absolutely have no idea how to skate. So he had to go through this intensive training program to learn how to skate, play hockey, he went on like a health regimen and all of a sudden he goes, That movie is what taught me how to be healthy, and to be regimented and stuff like that. And he said, so that's what I try to hold to today.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, oh, you're doing a fine job, Rob.
Rebecca Smith:
So then St. Elmo's Fire.
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
My favorite. So good. He plays the part of Billy Hicks. And he's like I read. I read this part of Billy Hicks. And I knew that I wanted it. But the director thought, I don't know if you're right for that. He wanted him to play Jud Nelson's character, which is a little bit more buttoned up.
Angeline Compau:
Okay.
Rebecca Smith:
And so he's like, No, I can do it. I can do it. So he showed up to the audition drunk.
Angeline Compau:
Nice
Rebecca Smith:
with a six pack.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
just to show him that he could be like this bad boy guy. And he goes, the problem with that was I kind of identified too much with Billy Hicks. And I just kind of took over that persona. And I was that guy for like, the next 10 years.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so he said things just went in like a downward spiral. He addressed the whole Rat Pack thing, which was, the story goes, you know, this reporter wanted to do a piece on Emilio Estevez And it was supposed to be you know, Emilio Estevez thought it was the piece was getting a little bit too serious, because at this point, he was getting into directing and producing and stuff like that. So he thought that piece was getting a little bit too serious. So he thought, Okay, I'll take the guy for a night out on town. And so they take him out and he invites some of his friends. He said, we went to the hardrock Cafe which is where we always went and ended up running into more people more people came a lot of the people from St. Elmo's Fire because we just shot that movie came. And you know, the guy drank with us we ate we partied some guy brought girls you know the guy was having a good time this and that. And then put them in a cab send him home all as well. And Emilio is like, I think I really well, I think now he just doesn't see me as like this boring stiff of a person. The guy drops the whole piece of the doing on Emilio and then writes this whole Brat Pack article. And he says, you know, people got really upset and ended friendships. It you know, people blamed Emilio for it. And it was just not a good time like people. They didn't see it as a good thing. I don't know, I was listening to the podcast today with him and Andrew McCarthy talking about it. And they're they're saying how it's it's so different, like the way that they perceived it having been a part of it as a way the public perceives it, because I perceive it as like, Oh, that's cool. You know, it's cool gang of friends or whatever it has whatever funny name, but who cares? I don't know if that affected like their jobs or getting jobs or roles or anything like that. He said the way that they were portrayed as being these party people, not everybody was like that. It was a night out everybody's there to blow off steem. And so then it made it difficult for them, and some people really took it to heart.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
yeah. So it wasn't just like a name for them. I guess it it took on a whole other life of its own.
Angeline Compau:
I did not know that.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
I thought that was just the name of all these people who did a bunch of movies in the 80s.
Rebecca Smith:
No, they all got lumped into this group based on this one night out whether they were in it or not. So then he does St. Elmo's fire does all that. Then he just goes on like a downward spiral. He made a bunch of other movies that I might have Do not remember those movies. I watched a couple of them today.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
they're okay. Because I don't remember any like, I feel like I went from St. Elmo's fire to like Wayne's World.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
Then I was like, Okay, we're, we're with the the middle because I remember him either doing Wayne's World or one of them and it was like, oh, Rob Lowe's back and in the action, you know, stuff like that. And so he's he says that he had, he ended up doing Saturday Night Live, and realized that he could be funny. He doesn't always have to do like these heavy dramatic roles.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
He really enjoyed being funny.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so that's how he met Lorne Michaels. That's how he met. You know, Dana Carvey and
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
Mike Myers and stuff like that and became friends with them.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so he said he got the part in Austin Powers because him and Mike Myers were on the golf course golfing. And he's like, he goes, Oh, I'm working on this impression. Let me show you. He did his impression of Robert Wagner.
Angeline Compau:
Stop
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. And Mike Myers, like, Oh, my God, this is so funny. And so he liked was called up Lorne and was like, you gotta listen. This is so funny. And he's like, do it do it. So he did it for Lorne Michaels. he was like, oh my god, it's so crazy. And he goes, and it was years later that he's like, I have this movie for you. And it's the part where you get to play Robert Wagner like a young Robert Wagner. And he's like, How weird is that? That like years later after, like this impression that I did, like get stuck with him for that long that he wrote this part? And I know it's so funny. So yeah, and then the same with Tommy Boy like he goes, just having the opportunities to do those things. Well, before all that comes. I think the reason why he the parts dried up for a while was because of the sex tape.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
yeah. So he
Angeline Compau:
his little wild party boy days,
Rebecca Smith:
he made a movie called bad influence. Did you see that?
Angeline Compau:
No. Never heard of it
Rebecca Smith:
it has James Spader. Well, you didn't hear about it. Really? Because it his whole sex tape thing kind of overshadowed it.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so ironically, it's about a guy that videotaped somebody else having sex. Crazy, like how weirdly, like that's connected. But anyway, so he, he the way he tells it in the book, and he just goes over briefly was, I was out, I was at this club, and I wanted to get let in and the bouncer was like, I need to see your ID and he's like, Really, dude, you don't know like, who I am or whatever. He's like, I didn't say it. But I just looked. I'm like, Really, dude. He's like, sorry, it's the rules. I got to see it. So he pulls out his ID to show the guy meets these girls in the club. So didn't even think about
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
age issue or anything else, takes them home to the hotel. They have their fun. He leaves the next day or whatever, and goes about his life. Well, they have a tape of him. One of the girls was 16. The other one was 25.
Angeline Compau:
But see, but if she got in
Rebecca Smith:
she had a fake ID, yeah, but yeah, that's what he was saying. Because I wasn't even thinking about asking how old they are. Because I met them in the club.
Angeline Compau:
That had asked for their ID
Rebecca Smith:
right.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, oh my God, I feel so bad.
Rebecca Smith:
So the thing was, like, it was never a thing about releasing the tape. It was more like or like, you know, releasing it for profit, like Pam and Tommy are in it.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
like that it was more about like
Angeline Compau:
tarnished his name,
Rebecca Smith:
statutory rape type of issue, which by the way, where the I think he said that they were in Oklahoma where they were, but the legal age is 14 in whatever, at that time, was 14.
Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
18 for videotape. Like, if you want to like yeah, so he that's where they were going to get him. So her parents sued him, he settled out of court with them. But unfortunately, all the publicity for that overshadowed the bad influence movie because it was all coming out at the same time. That sucks. I know. But he still had to go out and promote the movie. So he tried to make light of it. Like he they talked they spoofing on SNL. I mean, all of this stuff, so he just kind of was a very good sport about it.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
But yeah,
Angeline Compau:
damn,
Rebecca Smith:
I know. So that he's like, that's when my kind of the calls offers dry up and this and that. And so then did all of the Wayne's World. Austin powers. Those movies, Tommy Boy. And then he gets the script for west wing. And wanted to do it so bad because it was so good. And he actually had to audition for it. He's like, I was at the point in my life. I didn't think I was not to audition for things. You know, you can look at my history.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
of things my body of work and but he's like, I'll audition for it, I don't care, I want it that bad. And then they lowballed his offer for the West Wing. And he's like, I don't care because I want to do it that bad.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
I mean, who knows how long it's gonna last or whatever. So all of the stars and the West Wing took really low offers, like the first year, and then everybody renegotiated up but they wouldn't renegotiate it for him. I know,
Angeline Compau:
Dicks
Rebecca Smith:
I know. Right. I think he was on that show for four years and then finally just had enough and left.
Angeline Compau:
See, this is exactly why I didn't watch West Wing. Fuck y'all.
Rebecca Smith:
I know. I know. I know. So Then, then he did ended up doing more television like parks and rec, and now he's on that 911 Lone Star or whatever. But yeah, so he met his wife, like on a blind date, and then they were friends. And then bad influence. She was the makeup artists on that. And that's like, so she had just met him. All that or they just started like dating again and the all that sex tape stuff came out.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, no.
Rebecca Smith:
And so then that kind of put the kibosh on that. So after he was done promoting bad influence, they went on a trip, the studio paid for him to go on a trip and he took her with him. And he's like, it was nice. We were just in Fiji away from everybody. We fell in love. They, he told her on that trip that he loved her and then they came back and then he cheated on her, like right out the get cheated on her. And so she's like, listen, she goes, I I really like you. But maybe this isn't a good time for us.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
I think timing is everything. And I think that maybe we should just stay friends right now until you can figure everything out. It's not a good time.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And so then he went into rehab. And then after a rehab, he's been sober ever since. They got back together. They've been together ever since.
Angeline Compau:
made two hot sons.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah.
Angeline Compau:
That I'm going to
Rebecca Smith:
marry.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah. I'm gonna write love letters to them.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
I love him so much,
Rebecca Smith:
Rob Lowe.
Angeline Compau:
He can do no wrong in my eyes.
Rebecca Smith:
That's why I couldn't watch the sex tape. I feel like I know him now.
Angeline Compau:
I watched it so long ago. I forgot even how I heard about it. And I was like, no, ah, and I watched it. Like I will never get the like, image of his butt clenching as he's thrusting.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, my God,
Angeline Compau:
I would never get it out of my head.
Rebecca Smith:
Well, I mean, he you can see in movies, like when he's having sex movies and stuff like, well,
Angeline Compau:
I saw it.
Rebecca Smith:
the butt clinching.
Angeline Compau:
I can never get it out of my head.
Rebecca Smith:
So bad,
Angeline Compau:
yes. I know. I know. That's a good one. I wanted to read that one.
Rebecca Smith:
I had it for another two weeks if you want to read it.
Angeline Compau:
Maybe I want to read that one. Just because I saw it online. And I was like, You know what, though? That's That's for you. That was a good one for you. I know. I know it.
Rebecca Smith:
I think class was on Tubi
Angeline Compau:
okay.
Rebecca Smith:
And that New Hampshire? Fucked up one was on Tubi.
Angeline Compau:
I don't know if I want to watch that.
Rebecca Smith:
It was weird.
Angeline Compau:
St. Elmo's fire. That's my homework.
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. Cuz it's so good.
Angeline Compau:
I was gonna say also, we could just make it another part of our movie series. Watch it together. Like we did. We've been I've had several people tell me that they like that format. And they like us doing that.
Rebecca Smith:
Okay.
Angeline Compau:
So I was like, Okay, good to know. Good to know. Are they gonna give us movie suggestion? Well, that one we'll just do. Oh, yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
we're doing St. Elmo's fire for sure. For our next movie one.
Angeline Compau:

Rebecca Smith:

Josh Smith:
I have a lot of different topics. Been saving up.
Angeline Compau:
We gotta talk about a lot of things with you.
Josh Smith:
I don't get to cover my topic, that's okay. What things do we have to talk about,
Angeline Compau:

Josh Smith:
Oh. That was a it was a 75 Probably these days. $75 knife. That sucked.
Angeline Compau:
Okay, who's telling this story?
Josh Smith:

Angeline Compau:
Oh,
Josh Smith:
I had a pocket knife in my breast pocket.
Rebecca Smith:
Going through airport security
Josh Smith:
a three inch pocket knife. Not a small one and I got it confiscated. It was a nice case knife, it was good.
Angeline Compau:
How? At 48 years old. Did you do that?
Josh Smith:
You know, I'm ashamed of it. Because
Angeline Compau:
you should be.
Josh Smith:
I should have remembered it was in my breast pocket because that's where it always is. So I was really bummed. It's really it's really a sad story.
Angeline Compau:
It's not.
Josh Smith:
I was gonna rat myself out though to the public here. that guy got a free knife. He's really cool. He's like, Yeah, it's a nice knife. I'm like yeah, give it to your son.
Angeline Compau:
How do you know if he even had a son?
Josh Smith:
I just took a shot. I was hoping not to get some sort of ticket or anal cavity search at that point.
Angeline Compau:
I hope you did. You deserve it for

I didn't. I didn't get one
Angeline Compau:
for that.
Josh Smith:
It was it was it was nice.
Angeline Compau:
I got texted while y'all were still at the airport. Guess what Josh did and I'm like, I'm not even surprised.
Josh Smith:
It was not good.
Angeline Compau:
You know if I would have done that you would have ripped me a new asshole.
Rebecca Smith:
Me too.
Josh Smith:
I deserve I just the difference is I'm not fighting
Rebecca Smith:
I do believe you gave me a hard time about that back time that I had the bullets in my purse. I didn't know I had him nice.
Josh Smith:

Rebecca Smith:
Well,
Angeline Compau:

Angeline Compau:
Oh, whatever
Josh Smith:
It was a good trip.
Angeline Compau:

Josh Smith:
We did get the lizard rape scene in which was
Angeline Compau:
That was the best video. I got that at work. cool. And I was like, what's happening? What is happening?
Josh Smith:
It was a good trip. With a lot of sleep. We probably were in bed every nigth by
Rebecca Smith:
Can I tell the story.
Josh Smith:
No.
Angeline Compau:
Yes
Josh Smith:
Oh my too much to drink night?
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Josh Smith:
Oh I had. I didn't even realize how much I had to drink until we had the bike ride home.
Rebecca Smith:
Okay, I get to tell it.
Josh Smith:
You're going to tell it on the podcast. This is good.
Rebecca Smith:
So it's our second to last night there. We went to the nice restaurant for dinner, and
Josh Smith:
Bogey and Becall's.
Rebecca Smith:
Yes, I order a cocktail. Josh gets a glass of wine,
Josh Smith:
cuz I was having duck.
Rebecca Smith:
But the thing is, when you order wine, they never let your wine glass empty. So he's drinking and anytime his wine gets maybe like a half an inch in the bottom. They keep pouring. So he
Josh Smith:
Oh yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
had a shit ton. Because I'm trying. I'm sitting there with my drink. And it was an old fashion. And it was really good.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
And I said you should have some of this. I don't know why you love whiskey. I don't know why you want he's like he just sitting there staring at me. And I'm like, What the fuck is wrong with you dude?
Josh Smith:
I was not beligerant in the restaurant.
Angeline Compau:
Yes.
Rebecca Smith:
rode the bikes to dinner. riding the bikes home, So the thing with this place is every bungalow gets to bicycles. So we rode our bikes. I had to hiked up my skirt and my heels and I rode the bike to dinner because I didn't want to walk in heels. Josh almost crashes into me and I'm like, What are you doing?
Josh Smith:
wobbly
Rebecca Smith:
We get Inside and we get ready for bed. And we had our two that we had two queens. So he slept in the far bed and I slept in the other one because,
Angeline Compau:
okay. What? Why are you all separate beds.
Josh Smith:
I like to snore and I like to move around.
Rebecca Smith:
Yes, a lot.
Josh Smith:
I rip sheets off at night
Rebecca Smith:
and I like to sleep diagonally.
Josh Smith:
Their side by side.
Angeline Compau:
Okay, we're gonna cut we're gonna circle back to that. Go ahead.
Rebecca Smith:
So then, so we throw on the TV. We're ready for bed. Whenever Josh immediately starts snoring on his back like that's like drunk snoring so loud
Angeline Compau:
sawing logs.
Rebecca Smith:
I had to wake him up like three times and anytime I went over to wake him up. I'm like Josh stop it, he opens his eyes and just looks at me like wide eyed, doesn't say anything? But it's like, he's like, he doesn't know who I am like, he's just like, staring at me and I'm like, roll over middle of the night, whatever. And he starts snoring and I'm like, Oh my God. And I said, Josh, you need to roll over. All of a sudden Josh starts yelling at me.
Josh Smith:
Don't remember this at all.
Rebecca Smith:
Shut up Whore!
Josh Smith:
I've never called my wife a bitch or a whore
Rebecca Smith:
But he just kept saying it, Whore!
Josh Smith:
I've never ever done that
Rebecca Smith:
It was the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life
Angeline Compau:
wine drunk is a different drunk for you.
Josh Smith:
I guess so
Angeline Compau:
You don't even know
Rebecca Smith:
So then, I'm sleeping and then all of a sudden I hear him get out. I'm thinking okay, going to the bathroom or something, he goes to the patio door, opens the door and goes outside. I'm like
Josh Smith:
thinking I went outside the house it down.
Rebecca Smith:
You did cuz I got up and I go out there. And again, that same wide eyed look I'm like, What are you doing? You're like, frozen, staring at me. And I'm like, get inside. And you're like, so then you walk inside and then he like runs like dives into his bed like he's five years old? Crazy.
Josh Smith:
Yeah.
Angeline Compau:
You peed outside
Rebecca Smith:
he peed outside
Angeline Compau:
you're lucky you had a private little patio
Rebecca Smith:
I'm lucky he didn't go out front.
Angeline Compau:
That's what I was saying. What if? What if your you came home a sex offender?
Josh Smith:
There are no children there. So I would have
Angeline Compau:
No, been okay on that.
Rebecca Smith:
no, you can still flash somebody and be a sex
Josh Smith:
Oh, that could have happened. offender
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, you could have came home on the list.
Rebecca Smith:
I'm glad you didn't hose anything else down though.
Josh Smith:
Oh, so that was that was my that was the one bad night wasn't that bad

I usually drink a lot of wine. But I think I drink a lot a lot of wine.
Rebecca Smith:
But you had at least a bottle that night at dinner,
Josh Smith:
which isn't that much for me
Rebecca Smith:
in addition to all the cocktails.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, my goodness.
Josh Smith:
Was good time.
Angeline Compau:
I wish you would have recorded that too.
Rebecca Smith:
I know. Right?
Angeline Compau:
Shout up whore!
Josh Smith:
exactly. That's how I speak to her.
Angeline Compau:
So Funny.
Rebecca Smith:
Okay, so do you have a topic now?
Josh Smith:
I have a couple
Rebecca Smith:
we're recording two tonight. So just keep that in mind.
Josh Smith:
Alright, so I'm gonna talk about some things in the airport that I saw that were disturbing. Look, I don't care if you want to be fucking swee Family Robinson and carry 18 Fucking bags
Rebecca Smith:
Ski family Robinson, not swee
Josh Smith:
yes, ski Family Robinson and carry 18 Fucking bags, a luggage plus your skis and your ski poles. I get that, you know, everybody's got to, you know, pack your shit. But when you get to the airport, and everybody else is waiting in line behind you. You should ever shit high and tight. No more like checking your pockets. No more. Oh, which one? Did you put the ski poles in? Honey? You should fucking know that.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
because we're all waiting. So we had to wait behind ski Family Robinson. And then lady who doesn't know how to fucking work the register. So the one lady just not the register but the computer. I'm like, What the fuck is wrong with these people? You check 1000 people in a day and you just suddenly forgot how to do it on ski Family Robinson.
Angeline Compau:
Oh my god. I love that you have a name.
Josh Smith:
They annoyed the living shit, and then it gets better. So then I'm sitting there fuming. And then I watch a lady bend over to tie her 10 year old son shoe.
Rebecca Smith:
No it was a guy
Josh Smith:
guy and I'm like, you fucking idiot. Tell your boy to tie his own fucking shoe. What are you doing? What are you teaching this kid? What your kid can't bend over? It's like the kid was laying down with stuff.
Rebecca Smith:
That to be fair, you don't know. Maybe the kid has special needs.
Angeline Compau:
I was just going to say that.
Josh Smith:
No, I was watching Before I let my anger boil
Angeline Compau:
Not everybody looks like it.
Josh Smith:
He was capable of tying a shoe. He was fully fucking capable. I was disappointed. Disappointed. I
Rebecca Smith:
Here's what you need to know about Josh. He is the most impatient person in the world. And he want's to make sure that everybody knows about it
Angeline Compau:
if your kid can't tie his shoes, and even if he has some special needs. Get them slip ons.
Josh Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
there we go.
Josh Smith:
You need to need to be self sufficient. It starts with fucking shoe tying.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
probably before that. But
Angeline Compau:
Or get Velcro. That's embarrassing. embarrass you enough to learn to tie your shoes.
Josh Smith:
Good point.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
strong point.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Josh Smith:
Then when we're at the airport. I get it that you want to not check bags because you know it takes longer at the airport. I get it for the one or two day trip. But if you're going to basically carry on enough luggage for six weeks onto the plane so that nobody else can. You just just seems like people don't really care that really it's only one for you and one for somebody else. And when you bring everything on someone's gonna get piped.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
and I just I don't appreciate that.
Rebecca Smith:
Usually they make you check it at the gate now.
Josh Smith:
Yeah,
Angeline Compau:
yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
they tag that shit real quick.
Josh Smith:
We don't we always check because I don't want to deal with it. But on top of that, we sit in the first class so we'd have ample luggage, you know, to put up there. Yeah, I've had problems before. Don't I check my bag and then my briefcase I would put up above, because I'm six two and when I'm sitting in coach. I don't want to try to jam my fat feet up under, you know, it's not gonna work. And I've had the stewardess is on business trips there certainly but no, I can't. I paid to check my luggage so that I would have leg room. I can't put it down. I just just don't think it's fair. And she's she's been she's been cool. She's like, Yeah, so that's it. Everybody gets a little spot. I took up less than everybody else. I shouldn't have to. Shouldn't have to be cramped.
Angeline Compau:
Wow,
Josh Smith:
because Tommy fucking Tupac or back there is trying to jam it in. I resist.
Rebecca Smith:
Here's what I'm saying about Josh though he is the most impatient and like I said, he'll make sure everybody around him knows
Josh Smith:
I'm patient with idiots. Like I get it. Somebody's got smoked in the face by a baseball like while they were trying to check in and went down hard. I wouldn't be like, Get up, you fucking pussy. I'd be like, You know what? It's that guy's fault. Somebody just hit him with a baseball in the airport. It didn't see that comming. But if you get to the front counter, and you're still like your run around, like, there's a line behind you.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
you're out. You're already in my bad book.
Rebecca Smith:
My issue was with the people that were working there.
Josh Smith:
The lady was an idiot,
Rebecca Smith:
Josh, You don't know what's happening with the computer system. You don't know what's happening. You have no idea what was happening.
Angeline Compau:
I know. Okay, here's my thing.
Josh Smith:
I'm waiting. Let me hear your thing.
Angeline Compau:
I see both sides. Because I'm also an impatient person. And I feel like when you're at the airport, you know what's going on?
Rebecca Smith:
do you really think that she wanted to be in that position. Do you really think that that lady was saying, I'm gonna fuck all these people right in the ass and I'm going to go as slow as possible. And I'm going to have issues with my system. I'm going to do this. You really think that that's what she was trying to do?
Angeline Compau:
My issues not with her. It's with the people who aren't prepared who have shit in their pockets that are trying to
Rebecca Smith:
yes, the family I get
Angeline Compau:
That shi I don't like.
Josh Smith:
So we all do agree that ski Family Robinson is a group of fucking turds.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
I don't know. I don't know what the issue was. This is the thing. I don't know what the issue was. Their kids were teenagers it's not like they were little
Josh Smith:
This isn't like some poor mother trying to moving harvest, you know, carry two babies.
Rebecca Smith:
We're in sky priority. And so of course Josh is like, well, this doesn't feel very sky priority.
Angeline Compau:
Oh my god.
Rebecca Smith:
I'm like, Good Lord, dude,
Josh Smith:
It did not feel Sky priority at all.
Rebecca Smith:
Do you know how much of a douche you sound like right now
Angeline Compau:
I find all this funny now, but if I was with you, I would have totally walked away. But like, I don't know this guy.
Rebecca Smith:
Right? which is how I feel it. So I sit there and like, where the fuck do you have to be right now? Why are you in such a hurry? Where do you have to be?
Josh Smith:
Like, like to get to the next stage as soon as possible so I can wait.
Angeline Compau:
You gotta rush to go sit? Where?
Josh Smith:
I do. I do.
Rebecca Smith:
He complains about everything. And then we get to the fucking security like, oh, yeah, I have a knife in my pocket.Who's the fucking idiot now.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Josh Smith:
Again, I think my wife's very angry right now.
Angeline Compau:
Well. The whole thing with the kids shit though. Like if you and you got all your kids shit. And then you're like, Okay, Johnny, Where's your passport and all this
Rebecca Smith:
Why do you need to take your own skis? Why can't you just rent your own fucking skis there.
Josh Smith:
I didn't see a family. And I just told myself they were moving. So they had this this family. And they had two little ones. I'm thinking like two to three. Maybe ones two ones. Four.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Josh Smith:
And they're going on to the plane. So they got two car seats. A carry on apiece. So there's four carry ons and two car seats. And the dad like I could see I don't want to like you know, check the car seat just in case like it doesn't show up. And you're kind of fucked
Rebecca Smith:
no, hey should check him at the gate. So they put them right under the
Josh Smith:
and the dad walking down the aisle is laying down like a mule. Like he's like a farm animal. Watching this dad and thinking, That guy's fuckin miserable. Right now.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
just slobbered down like
Angeline Compau:
yeah,
Josh Smith:
then the poor lady behind it was like trying to control the kids. And I thought this doesn't feel like much of a vacation for them.
Angeline Compau:
That's what I'm saying
Josh Smith:
My heart actually went out to them.
Angeline Compau:
Like, I I don't have kids. So obviously, like, my opinions are a little different. But for people who have kids, I don't care if you want to travel with them. Make sure they shut the fuck up on the plane and have your shit together when you're going through security and all that shit. Nobody wants to wait on your kids. That's all I'm saying.
Josh Smith:
This is why we go to child free resorts. Children for that exact reason.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Josh Smith:
but you don't see any bad behavior. Of course they had there's no little kids in first class though.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,
Rebecca Smith:
now there weren't
Josh Smith:
like well, you know if I got a crying baby next to me I don't get mad because what's gonna be done?
Angeline Compau:
Well, crying baby is one thing because you can't control
Rebecca Smith:
but letting your kid run around a plane as another thing.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, it's when they get older and it's shut them up
Rebecca Smith:
their kicking seats and that bullshit
Angeline Compau:
sit them the fuck down. Nobody wants to deal with your kid.
Josh Smith:
Luckily, we did not have that. I did have one more. Plenty more topics but I want to talk about the snake bite on the dick scene.
Rebecca Smith:
Oh, I was watching Jackass.
Josh Smith:
I have
Rebecca Smith:
Oh.
Josh Smith:
I couldn't watch it. I felt like throwing up
Rebecca Smith:
Did you see that one?
Angeline Compau:
No. Is this the new jackass?
Josh Smith:
I don't know if there were teeth in that snake's mouth
Rebecca Smith:
No I think this is jackass two.
Josh Smith:
I never saw it.
Angeline Compau:
I saw it probably the years ago.
Rebecca Smith:
I rewatched them all. Okay, so basically the bit was yeah, it was called puppet show. So I think I can't remember who it was that was in there. Uh, Chris Pontius. I think it was
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Rebecca Smith:
He had a little mouse thing a mouse costume on his dick.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah
Rebecca Smith:
and he had a snake in the aquarium and they had like a glory hole into the aquarium. And they had a string tied to the end of the dick. And so he put his dick in the hole. And then they were maneuvering the string to make it look like the mouse.
Josh Smith:
The snake bit it several times.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Josh Smith:
Almost made me I can't even
Rebecca Smith:
Josh was gonna pass out. He's like, I'm physically ill. I have to get outta here.
Josh Smith:
I just can't believe he did it.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, why would you do that.
Josh Smith:
I'm assuming it was a fangless snake. Because
Angeline Compau:
Is there enough money in the world that someone could pay you to do that.
Josh Smith:
If it didn't have teeth? Oh, sure. You know, a couple million dollars.
Rebecca Smith:
He didn't seem too bothered by it afterwards?
Josh Smith:
No, it couldn't have had like teeth and like puncture holes.
Rebecca Smith:
I think there was blood
Josh Smith:
Awww, I didn't see that part.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, sick,
Josh Smith:
I just
Rebecca Smith:
I need to re watch it and see.
Angeline Compau:
I don't like snakes. I
Rebecca Smith:
don't like snakes either.
Angeline Compau:
they terrify me if they came anywhere near any of my body parts. I'd be like, What the fuck?
Josh Smith:
I do have one more for this. Just one question. So I found out that today, there is only one way to date and it's computer dating. So I remember,
Rebecca Smith:
that's not the only way
Josh Smith:
this is what somebody was telling me. When I was younger. Like that's when you and I were like, that was when like it first started. And you're like, man, only fucking losers do that. Right?
Rebecca Smith:
Yeah. Loser and murderers.
Josh Smith:
Yeah. And now so there's a younger person, the office I was asking. And they're like, Yeah, let's do it now. Like, what do you mean? Like no, that's, you know, everybody does it, no, they're like, Josh 95% of the population? Does, you know dates, or some sort of let the computer match you up, whether it's swipe left, swipe right, or DM or whatever,
Angeline Compau:
or match.com
Josh Smith:
I was like, Are you serious? And yeah, so I have a question. Is that true?
Angeline Compau:
Yeah.
Josh Smith:
Is it really 95% of
Angeline Compau:
I mean, you could still go out and try and meet people. But if you go up to somebody, like they're gonna think you're a weirdo. I feel like if you just start trying to chat it up with people at a bar,
Rebecca Smith:
why?
Angeline Compau:
I don't know.
Josh Smith:
So that's all that's done now.
Angeline Compau:
My generation is so like, ohh, people don't talk to me?
Josh Smith:
So it's that whole
Rebecca Smith:
That's weird.
Josh Smith:
So you're saying it's got to be computer?
Angeline Compau:
I don't know if it has to be I wouldn't care. Some people are cool. I if someone came up to me at a bar and started chatting it up with me? I'd be like, Okay, that's fine. I don't mind talking to people.
Josh Smith:
Please talk to me.
Rebecca Smith:
Nobody talks to me.
Josh Smith:
So is that so you need to poll some of your friends I need to know if that's true
Angeline Compau:
I know. I feel like a lot of my friends that are single have been online dating or are online dating have at least tried online dating. Like everyone's done it?
Rebecca Smith:
I think that's a generational thing too. Like, I think people that are our age that are single are still doing that. But they are also still going to bars and meeting people as well.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, I go to bars and so I went up the other night to the magic stick but like I was with a group of people
Rebecca Smith:
but that was like a dance thing.
Angeline Compau:
Oh, yeah. But there's still like a bar and stuff. But there's
Rebecca Smith:
did you talk to anybody that was not outside your group?
Angeline Compau:
See? And that's the thing. Nobody's I'm not gonna go up to somebody because
Josh Smith:
did you dance?
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, sure did.
Josh Smith:
What style of dance did you do? Was it your R&B, your ska?
Angeline Compau:
No it wasn't ska.
Josh Smith:
your slam dance
Angeline Compau:
see it was it's like techno music. And I like to shake my booty. Also, like a lot of times. You're just kind of like feeling it. You're just kind of like, moving
Josh Smith:
are you bouncing?
Angeline Compau:
Sure.
Josh Smith:
Oh,
Rebecca Smith:
that reminds me of that.
Josh Smith:
I meant bouncing in the sense of did you take ecstasy?
Angeline Compau:
Oh, no, no
Josh Smith:
and whirl around.
Angeline Compau:
No, I did not do that. I wish
Rebecca Smith:
It reminds me of that episode of Sunny in Philadelphia with that guy in the diaper dancing
Angeline Compau:
that's kind of what it's like. It's what it's like, but not with the drugs.
Josh Smith:
Did you wear a full Body green leotard?
Angeline Compau:
No, I wish I was green man.
Josh Smith:
Wait a minure, you went out on a work night dancing,
Angeline Compau:
yeah.
Josh Smith:
What is this? I know
Rebecca Smith:
it's a Friday night.
Angeline Compau:
But they forced me to work. So I was like, Hey, I'm not missing out.
Josh Smith:
No, no, I'm gonna go party out. ram the shit out of stuff with my fork truck tomorrow.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah,

Angeline Compau:
Oh, nice. I love mayonaise
Josh Smith:

Rebecca Smith:
Oh my God, about saving chairs at the resort. I have a lot to say on saving anything. A lot to talk about it. Not happy. And the fact that I am now a hero because I fixed a washing
Josh Smith:
because these are big topics hero saving chairs machine hero. could take me two hours.
Angeline Compau:
Okay, well, I'm gonna be on that bandwagon too. For sure. So the dating thing is that it
Josh Smith:
Yeah. You better pick the right side.
Angeline Compau:
you just didn't know about the online dating thing,
Josh Smith:
I wanted to talk about it, you know, there's a lot of people out there that don't know.
Angeline Compau:
Yeah, that's a thing.
Josh Smith:
I don't know about these things.
Rebecca Smith:
I think everybody knows except for Josh
Angeline Compau:
Well you guys don't date. Well, yeah, you don't have to date so you know,
Rebecca Smith:

Josh Smith:

Rebecca Smith:
Oh burn

Rebecca Smith:
Like how young, like early 20's
Josh Smith:
Yeah, mid 20s.
Angeline Compau:
That's okay.
Josh Smith:
I thought you were 32, 25? Anything lower than 25? You're kinda

I look like i'm 25
Rebecca Smith:

Angeline Compau:
I look like I'm 25
Rebecca Smith:

Rebecca Smith:

Josh Smith:
No, there's a whole pedophile thing you have to worry about. So
Angeline Compau:
25 year old?
Josh Smith:
I don't know. But I don't want you saying I thought he was 25 and it turns out he was 16 I don't need I don't need that kind of stuff. So let's just keep you on the 25 and up crowd.
Rebecca Smith:
We did talk about how Rob Lowe dodged a bullet. Not doing dune.
Angeline Compau:
Yes. Yeah. Turn that shit down.
Josh Smith:
