Episode Description from the Publisher

Hey Julie and Julias, slick back your hair and loosen up those fingers because we’re venerating the greatest hand actor of all time this week. Our Miss Thing is a mother to all of us, has given the most fearless performances committed to film, is a three-time Academy Award winner, and is the ultimate shining star of classics (in our opinion) like ‘She-Devil’, ‘The River Wild’, ‘Ricki and The Flash’, ‘The Prom’, ‘Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again!’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ — MERYL STREEP!! In this ep, Greg looks back on the time he saw Meryl in the wild on the wintery streets of New York while Tim remembers the moment he saved an under the sea marriage proposal. The boys also talk HBO’s incredible spring schedule, how Africa is a cakewalk in comparison to Universal City Walk, Helena Bonham Carter’s dismissal from the fourth season of The White Lotus, the most common middle name for a millennial woman, and kooky lady fatigue. Plus, they dive into sheep shearing TikTok videos, and ask life-changing questions like, “What is the best Meryl Streep line delivery?”, “Who do you think will win the Emmy: Jean Smart or Lisa Kudrow?”, and “Do you think Meryl is more scared of being mugged or of being spotted by a gay guy?” So HBCs and Roarke, go grab a rack of baby back ribs and listen to an episode that will make you feel like you’re spending a whimsical afternoon with your fabulous gay grandfather. Oh and of course, remember to swallow cause “you’re a guay.” BONK!!!CALL US AT 213-290-6388 WITH YOUR DIVA DOWNS and we just might give you advice on a future episode! Watch the full episode on our YouTube and follow below!Show Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/missthingthepod Show Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@missthingthepod Greg: https://www.instagram.com/gregtrimmer/Tim: https://www.instagram.com/tim_zientek/Miss Thing with Greg & Tim is created, executive produced, and hosted by Greg Trimmer and Tim Zientek.
