And they were nice men. But my mom was like bothered by this, my mother. And so she went in and she was like, you know, you don't have any women on the staff picks.

It's like five guys recommending action movies. Love that. And the manager was like, oh, my gosh, you're right. To his credit, he was like, oh, my gosh, you're right. We need to do something about this. And my mom goes, well, I have an idea. How about we do a box and women can submit their picks to this box and you can have a chick's picks there? row. Oh my God. He's like, Oh, that's great. Yeah.

Maybe we'll get started on that. And then my mom is like, well, I already made a box for you. So here's your box and you can put it up on the counter. So then like the next week there was a little, you know, on one of the shelves, it said chicks picks with movies recommended by women.

No, I don't think, I don't think I've had an opportunity to do something like that. Oh my God, you should just get a job where you could do it. It is so fun. So quit this podcast and do something else and have my mom co-host the podcast with you instead. Okay, got it.

Fabulous. Yeah. Fabulous. I haven't seen it. I must check it out. Yeah, yeah. My recommendation, since we're talking about drinking, is a movie from 2020. It's a Danish film, so you will be reading subtitles, y'all. It's called Another Round. It's by the filmmaker Thomas Vinterberg. It stars the very hot Mads Mikkelsen. Mm-hmm.

And it is about these four high school teachers who kind of all sort of have depressing lives. They're friends, and they read about this medical guy who says that you actually operate better if you're a tiny bit drunk. Ooh. Like your optimal pH kind of level is if you are a little bit drunk. So they decide to test this out and like are just kind of drunk all the time. And at first it's like fun.
