| 0:00.0 | The local Thomasville movie theater plays old movies. |
| 0:05.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:07.0 | Like twice a week. |
| 0:09.0 | So I'm gonna see Dirty Dancing in the theater, which was delightful. |
| 0:14.0 | And this past weekend, Jordan and I went and saw my cousin Vinnie. |
| 0:18.0 | Oh, okay. |
| 0:19.0 | Which we love. |
| 0:20.0 | Yeah. Very good movie. It's a very good movie. And Jordan cracks me up because sometimes with movies like that, you feel like the South gets like a real. But to be fair, so does New York. Yes. Have you seen the movie? Have you seen my cousin Benny? Yeah. Okay. So I had not seen it until, I didn't see it until college. |
| 0:39.7 | Or until, I think, after college. |
| 0:41.6 | Maybe when Jordan was in law school. |
| 0:43.0 | Because he was originally in law school in Georgia. |
| 0:45.8 | Mm-hmm. |
| 0:46.4 | And Jordan is baffled and laughs frequently at how the South is competitive with each other. |
| 0:55.0 | Uh-huh. |
| 0:56.0 | So he was in a classroom or in a law school class of mostly Georgians, |
| 1:01.0 | like almost everybody at this particular school, |

| 1:03.0 | And he's from Alabama. |
| 1:04.0 | And they would like make fun of him and stuff like that. |
| 1:07.0 | And Jordan just thought it was hilarious because |
| 1:09.0 | George and Alabama aren't the same. No. But the things they were making fun of, you could easily also make fun of in Georgia. Of the states that are different, those two are not very. No. And like, I'm going to include Mississippi and that, like Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. South Carolina. Yeah, yeah. Like, I feel like there's a lot of similarities. So Jordan just always thought it was so funny how there was this like almost competitive. Well, anyway, but some kid in his class recommended my cousin Vinny. He was like, oh, you're from Alabama. You've got to see this movie. So I wondered, we watched it together when he was in law school. And then we watched together this weekend and Jordan cracks me up because once he gets laughing he like doesn't stop like he just and he we got out of the theater and he was like that's just the most accurate portrayal of Alabama I've ever seen and I couldn't decide what I thought about that because so between that Forrest Grest Gump and Sweet Home Alabama. Yeah, I think he would say my husband Vinny. And the reason, because I was like, Jordan, like, they took these kids to jail without any evidence or thought. And Jordan was like, well, yeah. But did you see the last scene when, like, all the Alabamians are on the courthouse steps waving at Vinny? |
| 2:19.8 | And, like, they're all friends. |
