Podcast by You've Got A Minute
Good news for all of our Patreon supporters- you'll now be able to get a bonus track from us each week. We'll do a different a cappella cover of a song from the album, and it'll definitely be great.
Disclaimer: We got the name of the grocery store wrong. We have become the worst versions of ourselves. Now, let's move on so we can talk about the Joe Fox Reality Distortion Field! That man is not human. He clearly has some sort of hypnotic super power, and I am not okay with this!
Kathleen Kelly does everything in her diminishing power to avoid Joe Fox at a grocery store, only to wind up on the wrong end of an angry New York mob! If only some charming benefactor for the masses would come to her rescue.
In this episode we get literally -one sentence- that isn't a lyric to a Louie Armstrong bop. The good news is that every other word of this minute is a Louie Armstrong bop. Write in and tell us about your first internet relationship!
How many days have passed since the party? It is unclear! You know what else is unclear? The game that Robert Ford referenced when his younger-self-robot was talking to the Man in Black in the desert in season 2. Also unclear: why did Dolores tell Teddy that it was going to all end with the two of them together? What were we talking about?
Listener, do YOU ever feel like you've become the worst version of yourself? Do you ever zing strangers, family members, friends, or lovers? Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? If not, find out in this minute!
What started with a white wine and stoli on the rocks ends with something relevant for our times: a book about the Luddite movement in 19th century England. The battle of Vince's dinner party is over, but the war is just beginning.
It's a battle of the couples when Joe and Kathleen are joined by the King and Queen of Narcissism – Frank and Patricia. There are egos to stroke, over the counter sleep meds to recommend, and judgmental eyes to blink ad nauseam. All in the next minute!
In an episode chock-full of dialogue, Chey and Eli take their first stab at RE-ENACTING You've Got Mail. Is it good? Is it bad? Did it just barely miss the cut off for the 2020 Emmys? Dear listeners, this award-winning performance is only 60 seconds away.
There is a social contract we all agree to when caviar is present at a party. But Joe Fox, entitled white man extraordinaire, has an addendum. Hostesses – hide your garnish, there's a big bad Fox in town.
Kathleen learns that this handsome man is none other than Joe Fox. This night couldn't get any worse if she had to drag Frank out without his shirt on again.
We're coming up, so you better get us a stoli on the rocks with a twist! Joe Fox finds himself trapped at a party with the charming Kathleen Kelly. Can he Scooby Doo sneak his way out of this one? Tune in to find out!
The mystery woman in the window is revealed! We won't give her identity away just yet, but we will tell you she's got some FIRE opinions about a certain “nut” in the observer…
Move? TO BROOKLYN?! In 1998, rent control is $450 a month and Brooklyn is the shit hole of New York. What a time to be alive. But in the darkness that is 2020, we've got 1 question for you, dear listeners: have you ever been trapped by someone wrapping your child-like hands in yarn?
Fox books opens, everything is 35% off, there is a literary Lady Liberty and … commemorative cups? As the Fox boys celebrate a successful launch, there's trouble in paradise at the Shop Around the Corner…. to the tune of $1200.
Oh ho ho, we've made it a quarter through the film and to the opening day of Fox Books! What snack will you bring to a new bookstore with lounge chairs, dear listener? A Baked Potato? With salt and pepper, perhaps? What casual and normal behavior for you to exhibit in this public place!
The! Price! Is! ... Wrong in the shop around the corner as Joe checks out a hefty stack of books for Matt and Annabelle while also checking out… Kathleen's mom? Enchanting, Joe, enchanting.
But don't tell anyone! In perhaps the film's most memorable monologue, Kathleen lays down the hammer on Fox Books. Are they helping children become whoever it is they're going to be? WELL JOE? ARE YOU?!
Sneezes, handkerchiefs, embroidery, oh my! As the shop around the corner saga continues, Meg Ryan delivers a performance that redefines Cheyenne's understanding of what it means to be an actor.
Folks, it doesn't really matter what happens in this minute of You've Got Mail, because in this episode of YGAM, Cheyenne and Eli imagine a modern remake starring America's OTHER favorite couple: J. Lo and Matthew McConaughey
As Kathleen Kelly dons her storybook lady hat, Cheyenne and Eli stroll down memory lane to talk about their favorite childhood books. More pressing? We finally discuss the REAL differences between Jesus and Santa. Spoiler alert: There are none.
What's the longest you've ever had a carnival fish live, dear listener?
Are you ready to go out...ON THE BOAT? Or how about we all go and get our eggs harvested? You know, normal family stuff.
Hello, New Jersey! If you felt like this movie didn't have enough scenes of people kissing their future step-mothers, have I got a minute for you!
What has a sexless hug, the best line of dialogue, and two typewriters? This scene!
What has a sexless hug, the best line of dialogue, and two typewriters? This scene!
Quelle Nightmare! The SAtC gang have discovered the Fox Books superstore! And we all discover a strange quirk of Cheyenne's. (But that happens pretty much every episode.)
As I write this description, Cheyenne is in the other room screaming through the hole she made in our wall. She's shouting into the void about how much of a urethra Joe Fox can be sometimes.
We realize here that Kathleen and Joe are both tweeting to an audience of one. Hey, that's better than my Twitter, dear listeners.
The Fox boys like 'em young. That's the big takeaway from minute 16, folks. We also ask the question: What's your sleepy show?
I love in movies when west coast Hollywood elites get to play serial killer capitalists. You know it must be so fun for these guys to get to say all the horrible soulless things that are usually only uttered in board rooms or the White House.
Let's talk about Jean Stapleton's digital love life. No? What if we just talk about the number of women Dabney Coleman's character has been with? Hey, where are you going?
r/ways_to_be_rejected_by_woman Today's top post: "The females won't stop talking about cybersex in front of me. Do I, (M24) say something???"
"If somebody doesn't tell me, I'm going to start screaming." -Michael Scott, but also Christina Plutkzer's Eyes when she knows you're hiding an illicit online romance.
Coming soon: A You've Got Mail Podcast- and the end of civilization as we know it!
There is no better couple in this whole film than Joe Fox and Kevin Jackson. Let's make a tumblr fandom where we ship them. Everybody submit your best Joe/Kevin fan art and hashtags. We'll put them on t-shirts. This is going to be great!
So now we know- in 1998 the fine for peeing off a roof in NYC was 50k. I hope that if any of you peed off of NYC roofs in 1998, you weren't caught. Also, who among us would say "A Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks romcom: that sounds like a good place for a Dave Chappelle cameo!"
You turn on your podcast app, you hit play, and your breath catches in your chest until you hear those four little words: "Dreams, by the Cranberries."
What was your first email address, dear listener? Was it a Lord of the Rings reference? And did you use it to learn Latin in your sleep? If you answered yes, I bet you have zero regrets.
You're gonna need a double for today's episode, folks. In minute five of You've Got Mail, Joe Fox's infinitely more interesting parter enters our orbit. We spend most of this episode mapping out the ways that Patricia Eden is amazing and terrifying. Parker Posey has given us all a gift.
We finally meet America's Dad- Tom Hanks! (In the role of Joe Fox) What could ruin such a pure moment? Well, Cheyenne has some ideas about that. Tune in to find out! Seriously: don't listen to this around children. Or your grandparents. Or Tom Hanks or Meg Ryan.
Is it too on the nose for our protagonist in a movie about internet romance to start out dating a technophobe? Maybe, but that doesn't mean we don't absolutely love Frank Navasky! Also, brush your teeth longer, Kathleen!
What is there to discuss other than the all important matter of our change.org petition to get LEGO sets made of the cast and sets from You've Got Mail? It has been more than two decades. I've spent hundreds of dollars on Harry Potter LEGO sets. Where is my Shop Around the Corner?!
This week we ask the very important questions "wait- why were we just in space?!" "Who is Jean Stapleton, again?" And of course, that age-old mystery: "What is up with Jean Stapleton's Google search results?" Tune in to hear us carefully examine each of these questions, and then really only answer one of them.
Just a married couple who have watched the 1998 romantic comedy You've Got Mail (starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks) too many times, so now we are going to talk about it minute by minute! In the first minute we get a nostalgic dial-up noise, some Harry Nilsson, and a vision of being hurtled through space towards Manhattan. Who could predict that this would turn into a movie about bookstores?
