- Everyone's gonna be here soon.
Patty, you did it again.
Everyone's gonna love this book club.
(upbeat music)
I just love book club.
I love reading the book.
I love putting little sticky notes in the book
during the important parts, you know?
And I love like printing out questions
to help guide our discussion
about our theories in the plot.
- Hey, girls, let's do this book club!
Can't wait to analyze the heck outta this book!
(upbeat music)
I recently found out my Enneagram
and everything just makes
so much sense right now, #Enneagram54life.
Let's get into it.
I brought my own questions, those suck.
Do you think when the aliens came in,
it was like an allegory for the pressure
our kids are facing with youth sports?
- Aliens, like hot aliens or like the little green guys?
(upbeat music)
I've heard that book club just means wine club,
so that's why I'm here.
Also, Patty makes a killer charcuterie board,
so I just park myself next to that.
Patty, you've really outdone yourself with this board.
Charcooch!
- Thank you, I made sure it was all French cheese,
because the book takes place in France.
What scene really stuck out to you guys the most?
- You know when the zombies started eating the brains,
don't you think that's symbolic
of the struggles of the modern postal system?
- I'm just gonna take a sip every time
Olivia tries to be symbolic.
- Okay, mommy's gonna be right back!
You and Kevin just stay in the backseat
and like do your homework!
Oh, you don't have homework?
Well, I don't care, just stay in there
and play Fortnite or something!
I'll be back in like 40 minutes!
(upbeat music)
Okay, I'm here!
It looks like I'm the last one here, except for Nancy.
Look, I wanna see my friends,
but who has time to read a whole freaking book?
I just dropped off Xander at karate,
which is in the total opposite direction
of Megan's yoga toddler class.
And the twins are just in the car
beating the (beep) out of each other,
so that gives me like, I don't know,
40 minutes to have some fun.
Well, I think the main character was really interesting.
And Tobey Maguire, I mean,
the author did a great job creating that character.
Well, yeah, I just decided to watch the movie.
But I was packing lunches
and listening to Johnny play violin,
so I may have missed some of the plot.
- When the vampires made an oath
with their blood it really hit me,
because my love language is gift giving.
- Vampires?
Did I watch the right movie?
- What the heck does love languages
have to do with vampires?
Also, have you seen Nancy?
- Has anyone actually ever seen Nancy?
- [Nancy] I wanted to come tonight, but I just,
I had other plans.
(upbeat music)
- [Producer] What other plans?
- [Nancy] My cousin had a root canal and I had to drive.
- [Producer] On a Saturday?
- [Nancy] Okay, look, here's the thing,
I wanna be included so I asked Patty
to keep me on the email list.
But let's face it, I'm never gonna go to these things,
just too many people.
- [Producer] Hey, can you tilt your camera down a bit?
- [Nancy] Absolutely not.
- Okay, so let's talk about next month's book.
- So I've already read the book for next month
and the next month.
I mean, I hate to bring it up, but.
- Olivia loves to tell us about the books she's read.
- You guys are gonna love the book next month.
And then, the one after is just like perfect.
- Ooh, you wanna see Olivia's head explode?
You know, what I was thinking?
We switch up the book for next month,
something a little more romantic.
- Wait, no, I've already read the next three books.
Patty, she can't do this!
- (laughs) It's the best.
Just got a text from Nancy.
She's totally fine changing the book too.
Who wants to dive into some alien romance?
- Alien romance?
- Hey, as long as there's a movie version
with like that Idris Elba, I am in, woo!
- Let's keep the calendar as is.
I like to pair the food with the region of the book.
I don't even know what aliens would eat.
I legit don't know why I host these things.
I need to make new friends.
- [Penn] End scene, good job, hon.
- Thanks, this is where my comfort zone
at book clubs is on Zoom.
I think one of the best byproducts
of the pandemic was Zoom book clubs.
- [Penn] You are kind of Nancy Nevershow.
- I am. - And that may be the most
identifiable character for you.
- I love like the assignment of a book club,
but then like the problem comes
that you would actually have to go someplace
to talk about it.
So that's just like a hurdle
that I just can't get over right now.
So count me in for your Zoom book club, guys.
- [Penn] Last question, is that Axl Rose's wig
that you took the headband off of?
- So, yeah, I think so, I don't know.
We went into like our wig place.
I'm into it though. - No, it's good.
It's like that's a good girl's wig.
- Yeah, I think it's Axl Rose.
But our wig department is a bucket in our attic,
and so I just kind of put my hand in.
It's like bobbin' for apples,
bobbin' for wigs.
- Sunny, I'm freaking, it's me, it's fine!
She thinks I'm a new person.
Just go over there for a second.
You see me every day for 12 hours.
Thank you.
