Rethinking 90s Rom-Coms with Vanessa Bayer | Lovett or Leave It Podcast

[@KASH10043]

Glad that I hung around 'til the end; Jon's rant beginning at 36:16 should be played as a public service announcement on radio and TV everywhere. We'll never make things better if we give up, that's is what they want us to do - give in and accept. Never give up and give in to what's wrong. I don't know who said it but it's so true - Democracy isn't a spectator sport

[@tomk537]

Thank you for the time code - Often Jon does these insightful, heartfelt rants - “you are leader” - wow - empowering- let’s go - let’s fucking go and take our future back

[@cj-seejay-cj-seejay]

Can someone make a video of just that rant? I need to link it to a bunch of people on reddit.

[@byroneppler8066]

one fucking thousand percent

[@_mar_ta_]

Lovett is amazing at those heartfelt impromptu(?) speeches. He manages to be both empathetic to whatever people may be feeling, but also able to invoke hope and fighting spirit.

[@rorrzoo]

I love the one at minute 36:02

[@WilliamSmith-ko6cw]

That "Call To Action" by Jon Lovett at the end needs to go viral !!!!!!!

[@annestewart5741]

& humor! (Of course! 😄)

[@adamrassi3516]

The rant wheel noise has made my morning. Thank you :)

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

I couldn't stop laughing.

[@jamberstone1]

The screaming spinner was 100000% perfect for this wk, i am laughing so hard

[@carrie5980]

"It shouldn't exist. It's a cursed text." 😂

[@sweetsue4204]

Earlier today I almost responded to someone with “We’re fuc…” , but stopped myself in the middle of typing the word. It must have been a premonition of Jon’s inspired rant. Thank you. It doesn’t feel so much like we’re flying off a cliff now. 🤗🤗🤗 There’s no reason to give up. They want us to give up. They may even expect us to give up. Well…we’re stronger than that. Thanks again, guys. 👍🏻

[@Lucifronz]

I looked up the General Hospital KFC episode and in that scene, I shit you not, "the Colonel" says he was once cursed by a warlock and can see into the soul of a person, so he knows that the woman he's talking to is "above reproach". Someone in the comments said that was the writers giving a big middle finger to the heads of the company who made them write that shit and I believe it fully and without question.

[@blackromulan]

Vanessa Bayer is bottled sunshine; cheers!

[@gracebanyan1160]

You knew what we needed and you gave it to us. A little break with 90s nostalgia… bless you, Crooked Media.

[@itme999]

The Rant Wheel screaming bloody murder makes my sad heart happy. Thanks 😂

[@moimoi7431]

Elizabeth Warren said she gave herself 24hrs to be sad, and then she let her fury and her ire set in. Yes, Jon, let's be like Congresswoman Warren. Grrrrrrrrrrr!

[@gsgaming6976]

Good policy

[@skyisfalling8173]

Bizarro Arby's note: A guy I knew from Berkeley, CA as a child put food items in glad closed aquarium like containers to grow fungus. A banana would turn into a wildly colorful display, for example. BUT his most famous object was the Arby's roast beef sandwich that NEVER changed. Years and still the same.

[@tvdv3416]

What year(s) was this? I knew someone at Clark Kerr who did the same thing. One of the most disturbing parts about it was that there isn't an Arby's in Berkeley or Oakland.

[@skyisfalling8173]

Which wouldn't stop someone from collecting the sandwich from any location... This was in the 70s, even late 60s. Great point though, thanks!

[@skyisfalling8173]

P.S. this person's initials are T. D. Just in case...

[@uTubeAshby]

Urban legend? I heard it was a McDonald's big Mac

[@jacquelinereiterruth868]

FYI Shop Around The Corner was on the UWS and I know this because I grew up in the neighborhood (76th & Columbus) and they filmed You've Got Mail the summer before my senior year of high school. The Gray's Papaya where they had lunch in one scene was on 72nd and Amsterdam/Broadway and they glue gunned fall leaves onto the trees one weekend to film a scene that was supposed to be in autumn. Shop Around the Corner is or was (last time I was home) a l'Occitane. You're welcome.

[@jodiemim8584]

Matteo dying laughing next to Vanessa is the best.

[@aliceanneacts6164]

Please post a clip of just the final rant! I will share it soooooo much!

[@elan-6418]

Left clicking on the video will let you get a link from a given timestamp.

[@kellydannar2027]

This was one of my favorites in a long time-especially the end of the rant wheel. I really needed it this week. Thank you.

[@floppsymoppsy5969]

So I never thought listening to a quiz a comparing questionable movie characters would reveal so much about who I am as a person. Like the dark places in my soul.

[@XylessBrawl]

I'm amazed that the rant wheel's sound was a mistake, it's INCREDIBLY funny and how I would've done it.

[@annestewart5741]

? A mistake?

[@Stephen-Montefinese]

Never disappoints and makes Saturday mornings fun. Always meaningful political commentary along with some of the funniest fkn comedy. Chimney sweeper!? 😂😂 Plus, that terrifying, horrific spinner sound!! 🤣🤣 The show makes the shit dealt during the week a tiny bit less shitty. Jon, I hear you 100%.

[@anniebell6846]

These are a wonderful break from the reality of Earth

[@carriemuniak9353]

I concur. 🤪

[@mspitstoptoyou]

I have absolutely been guilty of some negativity over the last week. I understand the need for a rally call to fight back. But the reason I feel hopeless is because WE are humans of integrity who play by the rules. We are David fighting a Goliath who is basically a giant cheating, lying, walking piece of shit made of money. And I find that a little disheartening.

[@pisastero]

Vanessa and Jon just chatting, as a regular show please!

[@Thomas_H_Sears]

I'm totally out of it. I quit watching movies or listening to the radio in the mid-eighties. I'm the old guy tellin' you whippersnappers to get off my lawn. I'll get the hose. I will.

[@nicolerigano8965]

Omg, dude! I honestly thought you were saying "take my BONG and go home,” for literally minutes, rather than "take my ball..." Too funny! (And yes, I'm a little high.) Love it!

[@TahtahmesDiary]

YES! WE ARE THE MAJORITY! There’s a very loud minority keeping the majority from what they want, but across the political spectrum from Center to Left, there is consensus on certain issues and we are the most populous group. I hate that many have been convinced we are not.

[@RealBradMiller]

7:05 I was thinking Mrs. Doubtfire sat on the driver's lap, but that was Hocus Pocus. 😂

[@mattfaustini]

The issue I have with this argument is that it pretends like we can't do anything about the court. Congress sets the court budget, the format of the federal system, and the number of justices. All by a simple majority. votes.

[@Diamondelight92]

I want to hear all of Vanessa's extremely niche pop culture rants, it sounds like she has more!

[@alexissweet5890]

I had to listen to the rants twice because that noise had me laughing over them. I needed that laugh, thanks Lovett or Leave it!

[@pamgallagher9778]

Jon Lovett! Thank you for your incredible editorial!! WOWEDITORIAL!! NO WONDER RONAN LOVES YOU!! ME TOO! 💜

[@sarahherdan4438]

Thanks for the speech, Lovett. I needed to hear that; my 15 year old son needed to hear it as well.

[@diannaholiday9086]

I love this show but - unless I’m going deaf - it is recorded at too low a volume.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

This one was definitely too low. I had my volume on max and it was still soft. It's not usually that bad.

[@Mark_Brooks]

Yes.

[@Zephaerie1]

Absolutely.

[@swiperthefox6]

A 1h40m episode AND a 50 minute video AND it was such a great episode??? we are #blessed 🙏😂Thanks for your continual hard work Lovett or Leave It team and hope you have a restful break! ❤

[@rokoroo]

Arby's: Don't think of it as grease. Think of it as meat frosting!

[@catherinereynolds9644]

Laughing so hard with the wheel scream! Hysterical

[@catherinereynolds9644]

Thank you, Jon! ☮️💜

[@scottthomas7524]

Excellent Jon!

[@lanasartlife]

Just go along with KFC's corporate mythology of itself.

[@lanasartlife]

Lovitt's a great lead. I hope he runs for something.

[@elizabethcoates6925]

This is a great rant wheel.

[@memento81]

Funny how KZbin suggested this to me after one year and right when NY mayor Adams says they are fucked.

[@Lucifronz]

Bill Murray's character is in every way a scumbag, it's the whole point of his arc. I know all of these movies in some way or another are obvious scumbag behavior to *some* degree, though some far less than others, but Groundhog Day is about *the* scumbag getting his comeuppance by being trapped on the day of the year he hates the most in the one place in the world he hates the most for what seems like an eternity (the original script has the main character say he's been stuck for 10,000 years, which is probably not precise since he can't keep track of time the way he'd like, but I'd wager he'd been at it for upwards of a millennia at least). The only reason he ever gets free is because one day he just stops being a scumbag and enjoys life. He doesn't manipulate anyone, he does good for the sake of doing it even though it doesn't benefit him or anyone else because the day would just reset to his knowledge, and he doesn't brag or act out. He's just being himself, which by this point is someone extremely talented and helpful. It's a pretty messed up movie, but in all the best ways. Mostly, I think his punishment was pretty unfair, because being a sleazeball who hates his life isn't really something I think you should spend an eternity in a frozen hell for, but it sure made for an entertaining movie. I rewatched it just this past Christmas.

[@mynameispiaivy8549]

the screaming rant wheel is 💯 what we need right now, especially in this economy

[@jennyonthespectrum4581]

Lowrise jeans are way better (more comfortable) than Mom jeans. Why are mom jeans back? They push into your ribcage and make you feel you're trapped in your own pants. It's also a waste of material and looks good on no one. What's next, shoulder pads are back? Also, half the women in this country are losing the rights to their own bodies. No one should be forced to be pregnant and no one should be forced to wear mom jeans.

[@kellyguarano8864]

The low rise was a metaphor

[@Tammy_Talpas]

💙 Kelly

[@Zephaerie1]

The screamwheel was horrifyingly hilarious and should be two things: 1. An alarm sound and 2. The loop sound at the end of the world.

[@tracyveronika]

Arby's beef & cheddar sandwich with a side of jalapeño bites/bronco berry sauce. It's not glamorous but it's pretty good.

[@fritzfanny3239]

Honorable mention to the movie from the 80’s that perhaps is the king of the horrible lie movies: Soul Man…. Ugh!

[@C_M_R]

(8:50) Mrs Doubtfire was directed by Chris Columbus. If it were directed by Robert Zemeckis the movie would have been a horror movie

[@TahtahmesDiary]

I fell asleep to this and woke up SO confused to that godawful wail as the wheel spins 💀💀💀

[@lilblueshaman9609]

Instagram ads are the reason to get off Instagram. If you have been googling how to get sober every other fucking post reminds you of it. "Mocktails!" "Pills!" "Maybe your doctor doesn't know shit and you should come to our weird practice!" I would PAY to be on Instagram without ads. I just want to see my friends' pole dance videos, their kids and dogs doing stupid stuff,and cool photography and art.

[@pam.h4007]

Lovett dated himself. Hair on female legs - many of us stopped shaving our legs in the 60s-70s

[@debrarymer]

Every minute yummier than a rice-cake dessert.

[@corinnapetry65]

Bill Pullman did an amazing movie with Ben Stiller that no one ever saw. Zero Effect, 1998. Totally unexpected.

[@ComboBreakerHD]

That tepid applause at the Arby's rant is about what I expected

[@ViolentOrchid]

Excuse you, Arby's has Christmas glasses.

[@mixueer]

My cats were SO FREAKED OUT by the new wheel spinning sound. I get the joke, but 😬🙄😬

[@marthavillegas6250]

Thank you Jon!!

[@lpjunior999]

Jiminy Glick was on tv for like six months back when Ricky Martin gay jokes were relevant/not offensive but somehow everyone who ever wanted or made it into showbiz watched it.

[@donaldauguston9740]

The sound is turned down too low. DA

[@JustStopPlayingGames]

Thank you!! Coming from an appropriately mastered video with normal audio, this is absurdly quiet. I am wearing max volume in ear buds and I can barely hear it.

[@nicolerigano8965]

I should have said Lovett.

[@SensibleMinded]

The worst 90’s movie (with the worst morals) is ‘blank check’ seriously that movie is bananas.

[@Torispets]

That wheel scream upset both my cats and my partner.

[@tomasmundo3367]

Something to the effect of, this was fucking awesome!

[@rustyb2692]

Jon Lovett is My HERO👏👏👏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

[@Christinalovesturtle]

As a lesbian, I must speak out. HOW DARE YOU discourage Rhianna from wearing low rise jeans?! We're going through enough with the politics & no bars!!! How dare you speak against this potentially small ray of hope?! Think. about. us lesbians. Or just me, I guess. 😢😂

[@TheSuzberry]

I’m late to the campaign but I’m on board.

[@jennyonthespectrum4581]

Sponsored by Popeye Chicken 😉 35: 00 Mateo is doing a New Zealand accent, instead of an Australian accent 😂. He sounds like Rhys Darby

[@americanexistentialist4756]

What was the reference for the joke @35:00 when he's reading from the phone? While he's speaking it sounds exactly like Bobby Kennedy speaking to Indianapolis about the death of Martin Luther King Jr. Like really bizarrely close and so I don't know what he was actually going for.

[@VieenRennes]

Can you please make Lovett's righteous diatribe its own video so we can send it along

[@1renegadegeek]

Jon for President.

[@johannahmacbain8587]

High rise jeans only look ok on very tall women. Low rise boot cut for the short people.

[@Everah.Snow.]

Lovett is cute in all the ways. 🥰

[@timfriday9106]

omfg...was Billy Eichner in the audience? lol

[@jeni688]

I recently watched "You've Got Mail" on a plane and it really bothered me. The kiss toward the end is awesome but that is the only good thing about the movie. That kiss is not going to sustain the relationship.

[@ntaylo6299]

Thank you Lovett .....yes we are not weak. Together we can do it. Kansas join crooked, now.

[@michaelessig6376]

Please have Vanessa back. Vanessa and Jon is a talk show I would watch everyday

[@robindopp5245]

I love ya Lovett!! 😘

[@tonisodano5472]

nooooo NOOOOOOOOOOOO WE LOVED LOW RISE JEANS

[@woody5551]

Arby's gave away these wine glasses back in the last century (I won't say what year) that had blue stems and a faux gold rim which I collected like crazy because I was just out of college and poor and they made me feel fancy. Anyway, that last of them just broke so they're all gone. That said I haven't eaten at Arby in years and years.

[@woody5551]

....and we've all wanted to lit into B.M. now and then

[@asabry4126]

I've been saying this for years about Mrs Doubtfire. Matt Dillahunty blocked me over it 😆

[@shadebug]

Mrs Doubtfire straight up attempts to murder the new bf and they fix it by giving him the heimlich but that doesn’t fix an allergy so he still would’ve died without an epipen

[@SouthCountyGal]

I love Robin Williams and I love the Mrs. Doubtfire character, but I always thought that his character when not being Doubtfire was a textbook narcissist with a shaky grasp of ethics.

[@poet18318]

Arbys has this bleu cheese buffalo chicken sandwich with slaw… bloody delicious!

Shallow Hal wasn't in the 90s. It was 2001.

[@gsgaming6976]

I never saw that movie. Was it really that bad? I actually thought the original premise was fairly progressive. I.e., a dude who was entirely swayed by magazine and model culture seeing strength of character and a good personality as being beautiful. But I guess it depends on the execution. I can see it being really cringe if the people who made the movie didn't really understand how to present the idea in an inoffensive way.

Are they high?!
