Label Queen The Hallmark Episodes

[00:00:00] Speaker A: Foreign. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Label Queen the Hallmark episodes. I am your host, James Agiar. This podcast is all about roasting and toasting the best and the worst of Hallmark holiday Christmas movies. Couldn't do it without my very own adorkable sidekick, writer, comedian, producer Lauren Kinchelo. Lauren, welcome. You're still here. [00:00:37] Speaker B: I'm still here, James. I'm still here. It's a Christmas miracle. [00:00:42] Speaker A: I feel like you're a changed woman because of these. [00:00:44] Speaker B: I mean, I've gone on a journey, you know, I really have. [00:00:49] Speaker A: It's kind of like the best and the worst of humanity all rolled up in one. [00:00:54] Speaker B: One delightful Christmas confection. [00:00:56] Speaker A: And don't you think it ultimately reveals who you really are at the core? I mean, last episode we were rooting for like death and sickness and evil and lies and deceit. Yeah, these are not meant to do that. [00:01:13] Speaker B: No. But somehow you catch your true reflection in the holiday ball. [00:01:18] Speaker A: All right, let's get into it because this one, we are going back in time. Not literally or figuratively like some of these, but this is from 2013. This is really quintessential Hallmark holiday Christmas movies. It is called A Very Merry Mix Up. It's a popular 2013 Hallmark Romance television film starring Alicia Witt and Mark Weeby. I think that's how it's pronounced. Mark. It is a Christmas movie that centers on a case of mistaken identity leading to unexpected romance and self discovery. Here's the synopsis. The story follows Alice Chapman. She is an antiques owner who travels alone. We'll get to that. To meet her future in laws for the first time at Christmas as her fiance Will is arriving later. We're gonna really get into that. Her trip quickly becomes stressful when her luggage is lost and her phone is damaged. There's only one cell phone in this entire town. By chance, she meets a man at baggage claim who shares her fiance's last name, Matt Mitchum, and assumes he is her future brother in law. Quite a leap. Again, no photos, no nothing. She goes with him to his family's home and is warmly welcomed. Quickly bonding with the family and and their festive holiday traditions. These are a lot of traditions. The central mixup is revealed when her fiance arrives and Alice realizes she has been celebrating with the wrong family. Girl, get online. [00:03:01] Speaker B: Okay. [00:03:01] Speaker A: She then has to decide whether her bond with the warm and caring wrong family and their eligible son Matt is stronger than than her connection to her uptight fiance and his, they say, reserved relatives. I think there's so much more Than that. [00:03:19] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, God. Lot to unpack with those guys. With all of them. [00:03:23] Speaker A: All right, let's get into it. 2013, I took you back. I wanted to give you something classic. Does this set the tone for everything you've been watching since. [00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. And also, I mean, this had. This had things that I would have expected, you know, this. This had Elle of the Meet cute. There's a fan on her. They're really laying into these moments and that some of the later ones are. You know, they find a way to get around that. And it's not quite as. In your face. This is. This is Hallmark in your face. [00:03:57] Speaker A: Okay. All right. Good, good, good. Way to put it. Let's get into it. We open on the ubiquitous New York skyline. [00:04:05] Speaker B: You know, we gotta get out of this place. [00:04:07] Speaker A: Gotta get out. Evil, bad, horrible people. [00:04:11] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:12] Speaker A: Just a den of inept. [00:04:14] Speaker B: Buy, sell, merge. Just all over the place. Soulless. Soulless, yeah. Loveless. [00:04:21] Speaker A: Yes. But she has an antique store. And we open. [00:04:24] Speaker B: Hearkening back to a simpler time. [00:04:27] Speaker A: We open up at her antique store where. Girl, she got a lot of clocks in that store. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Like precious moment sculptures. Like, it's just crap antiques. It's all so bad. Yeah. She's got plenty of clocks. [00:04:39] Speaker A: And we focus on the late 18th century Beresford Castle Christmas clock. This thing was ugly. [00:04:49] Speaker B: So ugly. And huge. Huge, huge. I mean, the thing is this big. [00:04:55] Speaker A: Yep. She tells this boring story because there's paintings all over this clock about a clock maker and a peasant who fall in love. There's this whole long story. The clock she's got. [00:05:08] Speaker B: She's on her way down the aisle. The peasant in the story, or. Yeah, the bride. And she's got the clock with her. [00:05:14] Speaker A: Yes. [00:05:14] Speaker B: Like, where is she hiding this clock in her wedding dress? The clock made by a man that she's not walking down the aisle to meet. [00:05:19] Speaker A: Correct. [00:05:19] Speaker B: And then the clock stops. Time stops, and she's able to run off with her true love. [00:05:24] Speaker A: And not only does time in this time stop. [00:05:25] Speaker B: Big ass clock. [00:05:27] Speaker A: Everything stops. [00:05:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:05:28] Speaker A: And she runs out into the snow and finds her man and blah, blah, blah, blah. [00:05:32] Speaker B: Yeah. So, I mean, she's telling this inane story to her fiance, Will, who is just doing acquisitions and big deals and playing squash. Like, they really got some of the hallmarks of douchebaggery. Right? Like squash player. [00:05:48] Speaker A: In fact, let's refer to him as douche. Let's not even give him a name. He's just Douche. But I love him because he's ignoring her. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Oh, and scene one. You're like, he gonna sell this shop? There's no way this antique store stays. I mean, you just know. [00:06:03] Speaker A: You just know. Like, sign him. [00:06:04] Speaker B: You got a developer. Yeah. [00:06:06] Speaker A: What am I signing? I don't know. [00:06:08] Speaker B: Just sign it. [00:06:09] Speaker A: Okay. He's ignoring her. He's talking to developers. Square footage. Oh. He's asking her. He's saying, did you respond to that developer? [00:06:20] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:06:22] Speaker A: And she's like, no. [00:06:23] Speaker B: Like, the developers definitely have, like, twisty mustaches. It's so black and white. [00:06:28] Speaker A: Yes. He asks her what the square footage of the store is. I. I don't know. [00:06:33] Speaker B: Yeah. The writing is on that wall. It's so obvious what's happening. [00:06:38] Speaker A: Alice. [00:06:39] Speaker B: Oh, Alice, Come on, honey. Sweet, dear. [00:06:42] Speaker A: You know, I'm sorry. I'm gonna segue. I have been in so many weird companies that sort of, like, don't last. And all of a sudden, someone comes, like, you are at your desk having whatever in your office, and someone comes in with a tape measure and, like, starts measuring your office. Like, you're out. [00:07:00] Speaker B: You see that? Yeah. She's just like, la, la, la. The clock story. Yeah. [00:07:05] Speaker A: So it's revealed. He's a realtor, a hustler, a douche. He asks her again about the developer. [00:07:13] Speaker B: All he talks about. [00:07:14] Speaker A: Yeah. She reveals it's her father's store. [00:07:17] Speaker B: And, of course, the absent, dearly departed father. Yep. [00:07:22] Speaker A: They go to a chic New York restaurant with chic people. And you know what that means. Like, cold. And. Yeah. Alice just was not cut out for it. [00:07:34] Speaker B: But their attempt at molecular gastronomy, or whatever was happening in 2013, is a block of tofu with mysterious black stripes. I mean, it's. They really didn't hit that, but I know what they were attempting. [00:07:48] Speaker A: Yep. So it's revealed their names are Will Mitchum and Alice Chapman. She will be Alice from now on. He will be Douche. But the name Mitchum is important, and. [00:07:56] Speaker B: Will is sort of important because it's not Billy. Yeah, we'll get there. [00:07:59] Speaker A: He proposes to her by saying that her favorite jelly belly is toasted marshmallow. There's a ring. She says, yeah, it's the worst. [00:08:12] Speaker B: It's such a gross, terrible proposal in this restaurant that she clearly doesn't like. And, yeah, she's. She resembles her favorite flavor of marshmallow in that she's a little crunchy on the outside and toasty on the inside. I mean, it's just so awful. And you can tell she doesn't want to say, yep, yes at all. And You're. And yeah. In fact says. [00:08:30] Speaker A: Yeah, she. This girl has no backbone. [00:08:33] Speaker B: No. She's not crunchy on the outside at. [00:08:35] Speaker A: All, but she does get a backbone later. We're going to get back into it. Okay. The restaurant applause. She goes to put the ring on, and of course it does. Way too big. [00:08:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:08:45] Speaker A: That ring does not fit, girl. Another sign. So she's had about 17 signs already. Meanwhile, like, in the ring, it's like, you know. Did you talk to the developer? Like, he just will not let it go. All right, Wait, did I. How did I get from there? All right. The ring doesn't fit. Okay. [00:09:02] Speaker B: We meet. [00:09:05] Speaker A: Oh, this is it. He says he wants to take her home to meet the parents. [00:09:08] Speaker B: It's like you just said yes to a proposal. You've never met his parents. [00:09:12] Speaker A: Never met the parents. [00:09:13] Speaker B: How long have you been dating? I mean, you would meet someone's family before me. Right. [00:09:17] Speaker A: And they've never met her. Yeah. So they don't even know she exists. And she's like. She hears, I'm taking you home for Christmas to meet the parents. All of a sudden, she goes into, like, Christmas queen, type A, chomping at the bit. [00:09:35] Speaker B: Oh, we're gonna make cookies. Ooh, we're gonna decorate the. Oh, she can't wait for Christmas. [00:09:39] Speaker A: I'm gonna make cookies, and I'm gonna. Do you think we can pick the tree? At least we can decorate it. I mean, she's like, can we wrap presents? Can we. Like, this girl is a hent. [00:09:47] Speaker B: She's ready. Yeah, she is. Yeah. Wound tightly around that. [00:09:52] Speaker A: Okay. And then comes the first sign. My mother's macrobiotic. Okay. Now, maybe in 2013. I'm not even sure if 2013, that was a term, but. [00:10:04] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean, I. Yeah, but it's just so the. The villainization of a. Like, a fad diet or of. I mean, it's like, I feel like macrobiotic. It just suggests seaweed. And people who eat seaweed don't eat snickerdoodle cookies at Christmas or proper cookies or anything fun. [00:10:26] Speaker A: Yeah, like, macrobiotic bad. Boring. Weird. She doesn't even know what it is. No, that's how weird it is. Okay. [00:10:33] Speaker B: Bless her. [00:10:34] Speaker A: So we go to. He puts her in a taxi. [00:10:37] Speaker B: She's like, wait, what? I'm going to meet your family. Without me? [00:10:39] Speaker A: Yep. [00:10:39] Speaker B: He's like, I've got a big deal to close. [00:10:43] Speaker A: He never gives her the address. He just puts her in the thing. [00:10:47] Speaker B: Yeah, he puts it in her phone. He says, give me your phone. I thought he was Gonna somehow swipe the store out from under her when he took the phone. But he puts. He puts his family's address and is just, like, off you pop. Like, she hasn't. I mean, it's just absurd. [00:11:00] Speaker A: So next scene, we go to the airport. She has landed, but somehow, in a direct flight, they've lost her luggage. Okay, whatever. She loses her luggage. A random dude is there, and he sees her. I'm gonna let you explain what happens when he sees her. [00:11:16] Speaker B: It's. He sees her, and the Beyonce fans go on, and her hair in this airport is just flowing, and he. I mean, he's salivate. It is. They really make a meal out of this moment. And I was there for it. [00:11:30] Speaker A: And you're right. And she does approach in slow motion, and there's a little bit of a hair toss. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah. And it's so for him, it's very clear to us that this is love at first sight for this guy. Yes. [00:11:41] Speaker A: He's. [00:11:41] Speaker B: It's. [00:11:42] Speaker A: He's never seen anybody more beautiful. Meanwhile, he's also got a little bit of a drama because they. [00:11:49] Speaker B: Something. [00:11:50] Speaker A: Yes. [00:11:50] Speaker B: Which I'm like, it's a clock, right? [00:11:51] Speaker A: It's a. [00:11:52] Speaker B: It's got to be a clock. [00:11:53] Speaker A: It's not. [00:11:53] Speaker B: But. [00:11:54] Speaker A: So, yeah. So they. The airport or airline has lost one of his packages, and he. They're in claims together. He's, of course, going to the harried, you know, airline worker. But it's special. I made it. [00:12:08] Speaker B: Irreplaceable. One of mine. [00:12:10] Speaker A: I made it for my grandfather, like they are. And she. [00:12:13] Speaker B: She perks up. She's like, oh, this young man has handcrafted something for his grandfather. I mean, he's speaking her language. She loves a handcrafted moment. [00:12:21] Speaker A: Yeah. She's getting hot. [00:12:22] Speaker B: She is. She's getting a little hot. [00:12:24] Speaker A: She's getting a little hot. Okay. They're both filling out their claim forms, and she's drinking the ubiquitous empty cup of coffee. Okay. He finally breaks the ice. They start to talk, and then they. [00:12:40] Speaker B: Have the coffee collision. Like the Christmas angels above have orchestrated this. There's a coffee collision, which is. I mean, it's just. [00:12:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Hot coffee gets floored on her white blouse. Yes. [00:12:52] Speaker B: And her phone falls to the ground and, like, fritzes out. We see it give a little spark of dying electricity in the puddle of coffee that he has spilled. [00:13:01] Speaker A: Meanwhile, this has happened because he, of course, is trying to come up with all these great lines, and he can't get it. He walks away and does that thing that men do. Come on. Come on, man. That's the best you could do? You really like her. Go back. Like, say something to her. What about. And he turns around, and that's when they collide. Okay. She's a little pissed. [00:13:20] Speaker B: Yeah. She's not happy. The blouse. Because she doesn't have her luggage. She's going to meet these people for the first time. They're her future in laws, which she keeps saying. At first I was like, I know you're hot for him. Good thing that ring was too big. Cause maybe you're just gonna like. But then she makes it very clear that she's on her way to see her future in law. [00:13:35] Speaker A: Exactly. Exactly. [00:13:37] Speaker B: And she doesn't have the address. Now, can she call her fiance from his phone? Her fiance? William? [00:13:44] Speaker A: Yep. [00:13:45] Speaker B: What's his last name? Mitchum. Oh, yeah. Douche Mitchum. He says, wait a minute. Billy Mitchum. Billy Mitchum. That's your fiance? [00:13:52] Speaker A: My brother. [00:13:53] Speaker B: What are the. I'll give you a ride to my family's house. [00:13:56] Speaker A: Yeah. Because we're both going to Beresford. That's the name of it. Okay. The Douche, of course, reveals he has to stay because he's got a deal to close and it's not there yet. [00:14:09] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. Is this where you go to the bar with the deal and the. [00:14:12] Speaker A: Yep, yep, yep. Matt is asking her. His name is Matt, right? [00:14:18] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:14:20] Speaker A: Matt is asking her how they met. And she reveals they met on I love this mates dot com. And he scratches his head and says, I didn't think he would be interested in Internet matchmaking. [00:14:34] Speaker B: And this is kind of early. Like, this is pre Tinder. Yeah, yeah. [00:14:38] Speaker A: But 2013 Internet matchmaking. I just thought it was such a cute way to. And she reveals that they had a 75% compatibility. [00:14:48] Speaker B: Yeah, that's not 100. That's not 175% is going to cut. Yeah. [00:14:52] Speaker A: Oh, this is great. This is like every horny housewives dream. And he says, well, to me, that's not romantic. Romance is doing the dishes together or the laundry together. Yes. [00:15:10] Speaker B: These cat ladies are squirming in their seats. Oh, man. To do the dishes with me. And also, unhappily, married people are like, oh, my God. [00:15:18] Speaker A: Yes. Yes. Dishes. Yes. Like a man will do the dishes and laundry. [00:15:25] Speaker B: Listen, it's okay. [00:15:26] Speaker A: He's really pouring it on. Meanwhile, somehow, the ring comes out. He wants to see the ring. She drops the ring and bam, they hit a tree. They. They, like, head on, dead ass and crash into a tree. [00:15:43] Speaker B: Very. [00:15:43] Speaker A: The. [00:15:43] Speaker B: The. The cinematography of this Moment. It's very surreal. It's very strange, but, yeah. [00:15:51] Speaker A: Oh, they wake up in the hospital. [00:15:53] Speaker B: So they're both knocked, and the doctor's like, you just have a few scrapes. But they were both unconscious for hours. And they're in robes. Like, we have to assume they have no pants on. I was just kind of uncomfortable with all of that. [00:16:05] Speaker A: Next to each other. [00:16:07] Speaker B: Next to each other in these hospital beds. [00:16:09] Speaker A: Yep. He finally compliments her by saying she has clean fingernails. [00:16:14] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:14] Speaker A: Really bad. [00:16:16] Speaker B: Yeah. And then he tells her the story of his failed romance and a woman that he was with who sounds like she went off to movie to Paris. Paris. Also bad. This French poodle, prissy went to Paris. But before going to Paris, she. [00:16:30] Speaker A: No, it's him. He was engaged. [00:16:33] Speaker B: He was engaged to the. This Paris chick, but she wouldn't let him. She wouldn't walk a block in the rain for him. And he said, you know, that's when I realized that love walks in the rain. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Yes. Okay. You know. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Okay. That kind of got me. Yeah. [00:16:47] Speaker A: Round two. I'm doing the laundry, I'm doing the dishes, and I'm walking through the rain. That is love where I come from. We hear that a lot where I come from. What I believe in. Well, where I'm from, Love walks through the rain. All right, the parents come, and of course, there's confusion with Billy. The engagement. [00:17:08] Speaker B: Yeah. They didn't know Billy was engaged. And also, when they turn up, the way that these two are making googly eyes at each other, they assume that Matt is bringing her home for Christmas. And. No, no, this is Billy's fiance that we've never heard anything about. [00:17:19] Speaker A: Billy slash William slash the dude. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Right? No one in this family calls him William, but sounds like the big city's. [00:17:24] Speaker A: Changed him right now. She's already into these parents because she just knows that they're warm, and she's kind of confused, and she's like, oh, well, I can't wait to trim the tree and make Christmas cookies. [00:17:35] Speaker B: And she looked up a bunch of recipes that were macrobiotic. And this is our first clue. The mom says, what's that? [00:17:42] Speaker A: But Alice doesn't catch on. Of course. [00:17:45] Speaker B: No, no, no. Poor, dim, little Alice has not caught on. [00:17:50] Speaker A: Okay, we go to the house. Right away, somebody shoves a cup of eggnog in her face. And that's good. But they have been given strict instructions from the internist surgeon doctor, you know, the highest medical minds, that they cannot go to sleep for 24 hours less. [00:18:11] Speaker B: They are concussed or they need to be monitored and they have to pull an all nighter together. [00:18:15] Speaker A: Internal bleeding, I think, is even mentioned. [00:18:18] Speaker B: Yeah, there could be a brain bleed. It's pretty. Yeah. [00:18:22] Speaker A: Meanwhile, nary a bruise, a scratch. [00:18:24] Speaker B: No. [00:18:26] Speaker A: No talk of the crashed car. No. No talk of totaled. [00:18:29] Speaker B: Wherever that is. Yeah. [00:18:31] Speaker A: Okay. All right. So they can't fall asleep. They talk about Christmas trees. [00:18:36] Speaker B: Of course they drink tea. [00:18:38] Speaker A: Real tree versus fake Douche. [00:18:41] Speaker B: The Douche had brought a fake Christmas tree. That was his first mistake of many, but. [00:18:45] Speaker A: Yeah. And she's like, I don't know. It's just still too perfect, you know? Christmas should be imperfect. And we'll get to that later. Okay? The douche is still in New York drinking. Good for him. He's talking about raising the block where the antique store is to put up condos. Yeah, condo's bad. [00:19:06] Speaker B: The condo's bad. And this is not affordable housing. No. [00:19:10] Speaker A: And then my favorite character walks in. I'm calling him Condo Daddy. He is hot. Okay? Condo Daddy comes in and is like, listen, it's a done deal. She won't sell. There's nothing they can do to come up to raise this block because she is the only holdout, because this is the antique store. That was her father. [00:19:32] Speaker B: And once you've been in the game a little bit longer, young blood, then maybe. Maybe you'll see that not all deals go through. [00:19:38] Speaker A: Yeah, Condo Daddy is giving it to him. Like, just move on, kid. I got another deal to make. Anyway, Will says, what if. [00:19:47] Speaker B: What if I can guarantee the sale of this place? How would you possibly be able to do that? The woman won't sell. What if I told you she's my fiance? Whoa. [00:19:57] Speaker A: This is. This is some hot scene. [00:19:59] Speaker B: Spicy scene. [00:20:00] Speaker A: Yeah. This is high stakes shit. All right, so we cut to the house somehow. There's. They're like, first of all, you can't go to sleep. But here's a cozy blanket, right? [00:20:11] Speaker B: Here's a sauce and some herbal tea. [00:20:13] Speaker A: Some herbal tea, a fire. But don't go to sleep. Okay? [00:20:18] Speaker B: And this is where. They're just like little kids. They're like, I used to build a fort and go on missions. They're like infantilized. [00:20:25] Speaker A: Totally. [00:20:26] Speaker B: Cause it can't be. They're under blankets, but God forbid it's sexy. So they go into this, like, little kid mode. That is really. [00:20:33] Speaker A: It's. It's gross. [00:20:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:20:34] Speaker A: Eerie. And the mother's treating him like an 8 year old. And she's like, you know, it's all weird. [00:20:42] Speaker B: Then they go to make cookies in the kitchen. [00:20:44] Speaker A: Okay. Because they have to do it without waking anybody up. So they get flashlights and do it in the dark. This is an adorable montage. [00:20:53] Speaker B: Oh, my God. They are wrecking the place, though. Like, trashing the place. Like flinging eggs and throwing flour in each other's. [00:21:01] Speaker A: Yeah. There's a flower fight. She's literally throwing eggs at him. Then he juggles eggs and the mother interrupts. She turns the lights on and says, listen, it'd be a lot easier if you just turn the lights on. Can't fool mother. Mother knows everything. They sort of sheepishly, this was my house. [00:21:19] Speaker B: I would be livid. Yes. They have just destroyed the goddamn kitchen. But she's sort of fine. She finds it cute. [00:21:27] Speaker A: Yep. We realize. Or find out, because they go back to the sofa. The gift, or whatever he had made was a Victorian music box, which played. [00:21:42] Speaker B: The song that was playing when his grandfather walked into the dance and saw his grandmother for the first time. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Yep. [00:21:50] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, the level of thoughtfulness and romance that this. This is definitely affecting her in the coogee area. [00:21:59] Speaker A: Yep. And they met. They met at 8. 42. His life would not be the same. And he tells the story every year. There's a lot of grandfatherly, motherly, fatherly advice through this. [00:22:10] Speaker B: Yeah. They're so. They're so warm and down homesy, these people. She fits right in, of course. [00:22:17] Speaker A: And meanwhile, she's eating like a pig. She's eating these cookies like she has never had a cookie before. [00:22:23] Speaker B: And by the way, because Douche has been feeding her tofu. This is why she needs cookies. She needs some good old gluten and sugar. [00:22:30] Speaker A: Yes. And of course, she gets icing on her face and it's sort of like, what, what, what? Where is it? No, no, no. And he reaches out and just with his thumb, his clean thumb with clean fingernails, kind of just wipes away that icing from her face. And like, that is sexy. Okay. He reveals he's a furniture maker and he has built the very kitchen table that they are. You know, says, wow, this. [00:22:58] Speaker B: I mean, I could sell these. There would be a market for that. And perhaps a New York City store. [00:23:04] Speaker A: Yep. They go back into the living room, by the way, they still can't fall asleep. They start going through these vintage photo albums and they're looking, and then they do fall asleep. [00:23:15] Speaker B: Okay. But they see Grandma. And he says, my grandma was a fox. Which is a weird thing to say. And also then we see a picture of this buck tooth ass. Not a fox, objectively. Not a fox. I'm sorry. [00:23:28] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that grill. Okay. I was. I. I wrote that part down. [00:23:33] Speaker B: Mean. But. [00:23:34] Speaker A: But yeah, she. She. He does say, my grandmother was a fox, and that didn't land for me. [00:23:39] Speaker B: No, we don't. [00:23:40] Speaker A: We don't talk like that. No. Which is so weird. Like, how we all of a sudden get chased. Like, what. How would you dare you say that? [00:23:50] Speaker B: A bridge too far. [00:23:51] Speaker A: That is just too far. Okay. They fall asleep. The mother comes in, is like, oh, you kids. And. And then. Oh, she checks his, like, eyes to. [00:24:01] Speaker B: Make sure his pupils are dilated or whatever. [00:24:03] Speaker A: Yeah. And there's no internal bleeding. All right, so they've got a clean bill of health because they made it through the 24 hours of. Grandfather comes in with a tree. [00:24:12] Speaker B: Right? [00:24:12] Speaker A: With a tree. With his own father. And they're wearing Rudolph noses. They've just cut it down. Everyone is going crazy for the tree. [00:24:19] Speaker B: I was like, why is everyone wearing clown notices? I didn't put it together that it was Rudolph. I was like, this is weird. Rudolph, Right, Right, right. Red nose. [00:24:27] Speaker A: He puts one on Alice, of course. Alice just, you know, she lights up a room. Everyone loves her immediately. [00:24:32] Speaker B: And this is where the grandfather tells the story as they're hanging ornaments, that the love of his life, dearly departed grandmother, was supposed to be with another man, but he had some bad egg salad. [00:24:43] Speaker A: Yes. [00:24:44] Speaker B: And so only through a twist of fate was it that she was alone at the dance and he danced with her all night. If it hadn't been for that rancid egg salad exactly, none of this beautiful family would be here. [00:24:54] Speaker A: His line is. And I love this line, is, she came in with another fella. You gotta say fella. Yeah. Okay. And then he comes up with this ornament that he puts on the tree every year. Everybody has to hear this boring story every year. And it says on it, eternity is where true love exists. Everybody gets wet. Like that is what the best line ever. The macrobiotic cookies come into play again somehow. And the douche is still in New York. And finally he decides to listen to his message. [00:25:34] Speaker B: He hangs up. He starts to check a message from the hospital. This is doctor. And he's like, yeah, whatever. I don't care if I have chlamydia or whatever happened to anybody. Like, he just hangs right up. He doesn't even listen to that message. He is grade A douche. Yeah. [00:25:48] Speaker A: Like, this is the hospital. [00:25:49] Speaker B: You're feeling like, no, I need to. I need to acquire something. [00:25:53] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, you're so right. I love him. Okay. Um. She Reveals. She finally reveals. Listen, business is tough. This is just a little antique store. [00:26:06] Speaker B: And people. People don't yearn for the folksy trinkets of yesteryear the way that I wish they did. Or that I do. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Yes. [00:26:13] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:14] Speaker A: And, you know, her father ran it, and he was able to go to estate sales and flea markets, and she. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Would just mind the shop. But now it's with just one person. [00:26:24] Speaker A: She can't do it all. The mother didn't want it. [00:26:26] Speaker B: She's working for pocket change. [00:26:27] Speaker A: Yep. She breaks a dish. [00:26:30] Speaker B: She does. [00:26:30] Speaker A: Yes. [00:26:31] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:31] Speaker A: An antique dish. And everybody's like, wah, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. But it's fine, Alice. You can break it. [00:26:39] Speaker B: It wasn't the mother's favorite dish. They were just joshing. [00:26:41] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:26:42] Speaker B: Aw, that's friendly. [00:26:43] Speaker A: Meanwhile, if you break anything in my house, you are banned for life. Get out. [00:26:49] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:50] Speaker A: Okay. They decide to play a game. [00:26:54] Speaker B: Christmas messages. Say something weird and lame. [00:26:58] Speaker A: Say something nice. So. Yeah. [00:26:59] Speaker B: And nobody in this family knows anybody's handwriting, so they have to write down something nice about a person. And then that person reads these messages and guesses which of their beloved family members has said this nice thing about them. [00:27:10] Speaker A: Yes. Really? [00:27:12] Speaker B: You know, everybody's handwriting. [00:27:15] Speaker A: He. He says to her that she's kind. [00:27:18] Speaker B: Of amazing, which is also very lame. Like, it's such a grade school. You're kind of like, why the caveat? Like, why quality. Kind of amazing. But I guess he doesn't want to be so bold as to suggest that his brother's fiance is truly amazing. She's just kind of amazing. Kind of lame. [00:27:36] Speaker A: She said his. Says she make. She makes him laugh. [00:27:40] Speaker B: Makes me laugh. [00:27:41] Speaker A: Makes me laugh. Okay. The real Will comes home. Billy Mitchum. Billy. [00:27:47] Speaker B: Yeah. Not Will. Billy. And she's like, who is this man? She throws her arms around him from behind. Yeah. She's like. [00:27:53] Speaker A: She jumps on. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:54] Speaker A: Which is very unlike Alice. [00:27:56] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:57] Speaker A: And she would never do that to William in real life. [00:27:59] Speaker B: No. He would have none of that. [00:28:00] Speaker A: No. [00:28:00] Speaker B: He'd be like, get off. [00:28:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. So. [00:28:03] Speaker B: But maybe she thinks. I mean, she's fallen deeper in love with the idea of William now because his family is so amazing. So she's really happy to see him, but this is not her bow, okay? [00:28:12] Speaker A: This is where it gets ju. C. She says, what have I done? [00:28:18] Speaker B: I've made a terrible mistake. [00:28:20] Speaker A: I'm at the wrong house. Girl, you have been at the wrong house for days. [00:28:24] Speaker B: Days and days, okay? [00:28:26] Speaker A: And of course, they try to get her to stay. You will stay. You are one of Us. [00:28:30] Speaker B: One of us. Yeah. [00:28:33] Speaker A: Okay. We cut to her on the phone. She's calling. Finally she gets through to Will. The father, I think, or the grandfather says, hot chocolate makes everything better. Of course she's embarrassed. [00:28:49] Speaker B: She's so embarrassed. She's beside herself. How could she have done this? [00:28:52] Speaker A: Okay. [00:28:52] Speaker B: But also, she's definitely. We can feel that she's dealing with these conflicting feelings for Matt. [00:28:58] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah. So she's embarrassed. She's like, this is one for the books. I'm sorry. Meanwhile, this is all Matt's fault. He's the one that said, oh, well, that's my brother. [00:29:08] Speaker B: That's my brother. Come on down. Yeah. [00:29:10] Speaker A: He kidnaps her. Yeah, Basically. [00:29:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:13] Speaker A: This is trafficking. This is full on trafficking of Alice. Okay. Can you imagine? Not going. Oh, okay, this is good. This is good. Douche finally arrives. She reveals. [00:29:32] Speaker B: Take this dizzy broad off your hands, everybody. And then takes out his wallet. [00:29:37] Speaker A: Yes. [00:29:38] Speaker B: Yes. Once again, Alice is being trafficked. He's about to pay these people to return his fiance to them. It's very. [00:29:45] Speaker A: I love that. [00:29:46] Speaker B: It's very wrong. [00:29:47] Speaker A: I love that. Because, like, yes, I would take the money, first of all, because I had to put up with this bitch. [00:29:52] Speaker B: That's my kitchen. She broke my plate. [00:29:54] Speaker A: Thank you. [00:29:55] Speaker B: She's making googly eyes at my son. Yeah, give me that $300. [00:29:59] Speaker A: I will take the money. But she says something like, oh, I thought this was your house. And he says, can you imagine me growing up in a house? Like, love him. [00:30:09] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:30:10] Speaker A: What a bitch. [00:30:11] Speaker B: That place is so beneath him. And it's like a nice brownstone. [00:30:14] Speaker A: Yep, yep. The mother runs out, gives her cookies, of course. Like, don't eat them all in the way in the car. Like, it's all very da, da, da, da. Now we get to go to Douche Brothers house. [00:30:26] Speaker B: Oh, this place. [00:30:27] Speaker A: It is cold. It is modern, sterile. It is decorated with modern art. [00:30:33] Speaker B: The sculpture, like, right when you walk in, it's in your face. This thing is modern. This thing is conceptual. It's not a precious porcelain Victorian lady from the antique shop. [00:30:43] Speaker A: Well, it's from Home Goods. Anyway, we hear the mother on the balcony, and she just says, please don't touch that. Love her. [00:30:54] Speaker B: I love her. I love her. [00:30:55] Speaker A: Okay, so this is. [00:30:55] Speaker B: It's the iconic Mimi Kunitz again, seen stealing Untouchable. [00:31:01] Speaker A: Yes. A much younger one with darker hair, Maybe a wig, some massive jewelry. Yes, yes. Alice goes in for a hug, and she says, no, no, no, no, no, no. Can't touch me. [00:31:11] Speaker B: Her chakras are being cleaned. [00:31:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I Didn't like this twist of this character because to me, she just should have been a bitch. Not like a. Like a yoga, meditative. [00:31:24] Speaker B: I mean, there. This is like enlightenment bad. Eastern religion bad. Spirulina bad. Like, they're really. And they're like, a little late to that party, I feel like. Yeah. [00:31:34] Speaker A: So she's some sort of cult guru from, like, I don't know. She has her chakras need to be cleaned. [00:31:41] Speaker B: She says, would you like a drink? And Alice is very excited. She's like, yes, a drink. Great. Finally. [00:31:47] Speaker A: And it's green fucking juice. [00:31:50] Speaker B: And there's a carton of eggs sitting next to the blender. What is that about? Are there raw eggs in this fucking thing, too? [00:31:54] Speaker A: Well, we find out it's made of fermented bran, yeast, and something else. The mean father comes in. His name is Ray. And he kind of, like, is looking at Alice like a wolf. [00:32:06] Speaker B: Like a cartoon wolf. Oh, he's so leery and ugly and pervy on Alice. [00:32:11] Speaker A: Yes. I kept writing, lascivious. [00:32:13] Speaker B: Absolutely. [00:32:13] Speaker A: Like that. Lewd and lascivious behavior towards my son. [00:32:17] Speaker B: He's like, licking his chops. [00:32:19] Speaker A: Yeah, fiance. He winks at her. He gives her like. Yeah, exactly. It's very, very that. Okay. Like father, like son. [00:32:28] Speaker B: They're both on their phone, they're pacing in the same. [00:32:31] Speaker A: They're closing deals. [00:32:33] Speaker B: This is clearly why the poor neglected wife has turned to Eastern spiritual, because she is not getting any kind of help from this man. [00:32:40] Speaker A: Alice looks out the window and in the distance sees a beautiful tree and says, will you walk with me? And he's like, no, it's cold. And why would you walk? We don't do that in Beresford. All right. She goes to sleep. This is where it gets really weird. She sees a flashlight, a flashlight in the window. [00:33:04] Speaker B: And she's already excited. She's like, oh, yes. I mean, you're not thinking prowler. You don't know what city you're in. [00:33:09] Speaker A: Exactly. She just gets on her thigh high. [00:33:12] Speaker B: Boots, she throws open the casement. [00:33:16] Speaker A: She runs to him, and it's Matt out there. It's Matt. [00:33:19] Speaker B: And also, how the fuck did you find me? [00:33:22] Speaker A: I followed you. [00:33:24] Speaker B: But then that turns out to be a joke. He's like, just kidding. I went to every Mitchum's house, right? And he's like. And then the kind policeman, like, obviously he's a white man, so he's not getting arrested as he's knocking on doors in the middle of the damn night. Yeah. Let a light an E. But With a flashlight. [00:33:38] Speaker A: They go for a walk. We see these snow sculptures that are covered up, that are going to be revealed. [00:33:44] Speaker B: Blocks of ice that will be turned into sculptures. Yeah. And they go to a bench that he built. Once again. Oh, I could surely sell something like this in my shop. [00:33:54] Speaker A: She recognizes craftsmanship and skill and talent. He puts a quote from the Merchant of Venice on it. Yeah. [00:34:04] Speaker B: So he's down home, but also has read his classics. [00:34:07] Speaker A: Yes. [00:34:07] Speaker B: I mean, he's a catch. [00:34:08] Speaker A: He's a catch. So they're sitting on the bench, they're talking. She brings up the Beresford Christmas clock story. Do you know it? And of course. [00:34:16] Speaker B: Of course he does. [00:34:20] Speaker A: Okay. [00:34:21] Speaker B: And then there's a moment. Does he confess his love? It's all gotten too much, though. And she's like, I have to go. I'm engaged after all. But he doesn't go in for a kiss. [00:34:30] Speaker A: He doesn't. Because he says, why can't he? They have a life like the clock maker's life, where time stands still. And listen, she is engaged. Whether you like it or not, she is engaged. They go back to the house. The father comes and brings that ornament. Or the grandfather. [00:34:51] Speaker B: Yeah, but it. Does he bring it, right? Yeah. The grandfather comes to that. So everybody knows where this house is. [00:34:58] Speaker A: Okay. No, no. [00:34:58] Speaker B: This is after the Christmas messages. [00:35:00] Speaker A: The. [00:35:00] Speaker B: Matt. [00:35:01] Speaker A: Mitch. Is it? Mitchell. Matt. Matt Mitchum. Matt goes home. The grandfather brings the ornament in and is like, read this. Read this again. Like, girl, we have been through this story. We know. Anyway, we see him tinkering in his workshop with gears. Yes. [00:35:19] Speaker B: With perhaps the makings of. I don't know it. Clock. [00:35:22] Speaker A: Yes. Liz. We go back to Alice. She's staring at the deuce. She's feeling nothing. Next morning, Alice calls. They try to. She calls the Mitchums. They, of course, are like, can you come by? We really need you. [00:35:35] Speaker B: Like, so weird, this person who, you know, mistakenly ended up at their house. But. But she wants to speak to Matt. And they lie and say he's not there. Yeah, he's been very busy with his project. But he's like, no, I won't speak to her. I guess he's respecting her boundaries. Is that what. But I don't know. [00:35:50] Speaker A: So Matt, we go back to Matt. He's still tinkering. That is the perfect word because we don't know what he's doing. But he is tinkering with all of these, like, tweezers and gears and. Yes. Yes. This is some real hogs. Yeah. Horology going On. Alice is bored as fuck in this house. Yeah. Like, no one is talking. There's nothing. [00:36:09] Speaker B: All angles and black and white and stark. I mean, there's a couple of decorations, but none of them are red or green. It's just gold, which is for rich people. [00:36:16] Speaker A: Yes. The wife brings in more green juice. [00:36:20] Speaker B: Alice, she gets a hair up her butt. She's like, we're playing a damn game. [00:36:23] Speaker A: Yes. [00:36:24] Speaker B: This is when she gets very assertive and she tells this family. Family. Okay. You know, because the men are on their phones buying and selling and merging. And she says, we're gonna play a game. [00:36:33] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:33] Speaker B: This is the tradition she learned from. [00:36:36] Speaker A: She's like, we are playing a game. [00:36:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:36:40] Speaker A: Where do you keep your paper? Where's the thing? So she attempts at playing the. [00:36:45] Speaker B: The Christmas messages where you write something nice about everybody. [00:36:47] Speaker A: I love this part because their notes were great. Let's see. Let's see if I have. She takes control. She's pissed. There's more lascivious behavior. They're talking about loopholes, tax codes. Oh, this is. These are the sign. The messages. [00:37:03] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:03] Speaker A: The. The wife says to the husband, makes good money. Yeah. [00:37:08] Speaker B: That's. That's the kindest thing she can think to say to this man on Christmas is. Makes good money. [00:37:13] Speaker A: Yep. [00:37:14] Speaker B: And he says of Alice, easy on the eyes, continuing with this, like, drooly, gross. Yep, yep. Sexualization of her. [00:37:24] Speaker A: But he says to his wife, she's very low maintenance. Right. She's actually pretty high maintenance with the green juice and the chakras. [00:37:32] Speaker B: I think that he's like, I just ignore you, and then you go off on your retreats is basically what's being said there. Okay. [00:37:38] Speaker A: The sun pops up. The douche pops up and says, well, I was gonna wait, but I've closed a deal. [00:37:43] Speaker B: Her message says, is a millionaire. [00:37:45] Speaker A: Yes. [00:37:46] Speaker B: That's what Alice has met. And she's like, what are you talking about? I'm a millionaire. She's so dense. From the first scene. This shop is getting salty. [00:37:54] Speaker A: It's wild. [00:37:56] Speaker B: And he's asked her three times already since he's been there about. Has she looked at the email? Has she talked to the developers, how she thought about the blah, blah, blah. And she just. It's never occurred to her that he would sell this bitch out from under her. But he's gotten the offer. [00:38:07] Speaker A: Exactly. So the douche pops up. He's gonna wait for Christmas, but he's revealing that he has a deal for $3.5 million for the store. And she's like, but that's my family store. Meanwhile, get another store, bitch. [00:38:23] Speaker B: Yeah. With 3.5 million. And he's also like, we can lease a spot down the block. Like her. Her livelihood is not. No, I mean, with that 3.5 million, she can go to whatever estate sale she damn wants to. I mean, take that money. [00:38:34] Speaker A: Take the money. Who cares about a store? Like, stop. [00:38:38] Speaker B: Yeah, it's really bad. [00:38:39] Speaker A: Okay. She takes off. She's like, I'm out to think about this. I have to think about it. Of course, she ends up at the bench. The grandpa. Then comes later because she goes back to the house. He gives her a gift. He admits that he. She has met a wonderful man, but the timing is off. We get more fatherly advice from the elderly. Life is about timing. And timing is everything in life. And loss. In love and loss. Yeah, okay. And whatever. We hear that again. The douche gives her a gift. Admits he. He bungled the. The whole thing. Like, he does admit that. Yeah. [00:39:17] Speaker B: Shouldn't have sprung that on you. [00:39:18] Speaker A: He gives her a new lease. Like, that's the gift. It's in an envelope. [00:39:23] Speaker B: Yes. [00:39:23] Speaker A: And it's a lease for a real store. And he basically says, you know, you can do all this. You have all this money. Here's just another lease. [00:39:32] Speaker B: And he's correct. [00:39:33] Speaker A: He is so correct. Yeah. So I actually think his douchery makes the most sense out of anybody. But she keeps saying, but it was my father's store. He takes out the pen for her to sign. She runs to the bathroom and takes out the gift that the grandfather has given her. And she ugly cries. [00:39:52] Speaker B: Oh. And from so many angles. Do we see this? It's really confusion. [00:39:58] Speaker A: Yes. [00:39:58] Speaker B: It's everywhere. The mirror, the shots. [00:40:00] Speaker A: What do I do? You get a voiceover of the grandfather. Cause she's really spinning the voiceover. The grandfather. Life is about timing. And timing is everything in love and loss. [00:40:14] Speaker B: And I guess this loss is about having the. Having the chaste viewers see that it's okay to lose this fiance. [00:40:22] Speaker A: Yes. [00:40:22] Speaker B: I think that's the loss that we're talking about. Right. Because she's got to do. You know, she's almost cheated on him, which we're not gonna. Not on Christmas. So you've got it. But sometimes you have to lose something to. To accept your fate. [00:40:35] Speaker A: Yep. She's stunned. She makes up her mind. She breaks up with Juice Bro on Christmas Eve. [00:40:43] Speaker B: Has she opened the clock? [00:40:44] Speaker A: Yes. [00:40:44] Speaker B: Okay. [00:40:45] Speaker A: She. [00:40:46] Speaker B: The clock stops just like in the tail of the Clockmaker and the Peasant. [00:40:53] Speaker A: Yep. The Beresford Castle Christmas. [00:40:55] Speaker B: The Clock stops. She breaks up with the douche. And he takes it really well. Yeah, he takes it so well. He hasn't made this $3.5 million deal. He's just lost his fiance. But he's like, you know what? Fly, bird. [00:41:06] Speaker A: And this is my favorite scene, when she goes to run out of the house because they really shoot this, like a horror movie. Like, she sees the mother and what is she doing? She's like drinking her. Oh, she's doing yoga. [00:41:16] Speaker B: Yeah. But she's paused in this meditative. And so, like, all of these people could be holding a position or they could be frozen in time. Like the legend of the clock. [00:41:27] Speaker A: You're so right again. You're going deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper. The mother is doing yoga. The father is, like, making a deal. Or he's like, on in the paper. She runs through. She starts screaming for Matt. [00:41:42] Speaker B: Right. We don't know where he lives. It could be the other side of town. [00:41:45] Speaker A: She just is screaming for Matt. Those winter walk sculptures are revealed to be like. What were those mannequins? [00:41:54] Speaker B: Yeah, they're people, but I feel like they're the people that would be in the clock story. Like all the villagers frozen in time. [00:42:00] Speaker A: Yes. [00:42:01] Speaker B: I think that's what they were going for. [00:42:02] Speaker A: Anyway, Matt pops out from behind the Christmas tree, of course. And he says. Or maybe she says it. Someone once told me timing is everything. Oh. And she goes on this sort of like Julia Roberts, you know, like rom com. [00:42:20] Speaker B: I'm the girl who loves family. I'm the girl who loves Christmas. And I'm the girl who loves you. [00:42:26] Speaker A: Yes. You forgot antiques. [00:42:28] Speaker B: Antiques. I'm the girl that loves antiques and family. [00:42:31] Speaker A: Yeah, that's straight on. I'm just a girl standing in front of a bo. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm the girl who loves you. It's 11:58. The clock stops. You are my destiny. There's three kisses and all is well. [00:42:50] Speaker B: Yeah. 7:58, I believe, is somehow the time that they met at the airport. [00:42:54] Speaker A: Correct. [00:42:54] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:55] Speaker A: We don't know how we know that. [00:42:56] Speaker B: Yeah. But we do. [00:42:57] Speaker A: Okay. We. I like this. A little fast forward. We go to the shop. Yep. There's an epilogue. There's an estate sale. There's a blind bid. He takes out a Civil War era wedding ring. All the clocks chime. [00:43:15] Speaker B: It's 1158. [00:43:17] Speaker A: It's 1158. [00:43:18] Speaker B: And this is his proposal. [00:43:20] Speaker A: And that's his proposal. She laughs like Julia Roberts and tosses her not Julia Roberts hair. And all is well. Yeah, all's well that ends well. With this one. All right. What did they get right? What did they get wrong? [00:43:41] Speaker B: I do love the. The heavy handedness of it. We got a coffee collision. We have the wind in her hair. When we meet. We have the. You know, I'm glad they really laid into that. We've got the running through the snow. Why, however, in the whole Christmas sequence was everybody wearing blue? [00:43:59] Speaker A: There was a lot of Nobody got. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Dressed for the holidays. [00:44:01] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that. I think that you're right about that. [00:44:04] Speaker B: Do you notice that I was like, why is that? [00:44:05] Speaker A: Especially her. [00:44:07] Speaker B: Yes. Put that redhead in some green. [00:44:09] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. [00:44:09] Speaker B: It's the obvious move. [00:44:11] Speaker A: Yep, yep. Okay. For me, what they got right was this is just quintessentially Hallmark. So for me, that was right. What they got. Oh, and what I also loved is like, you know, tradition, home, family, good modern, no decorating, green seaweed, bad macrobiotic. I think they got that really, really right development. [00:44:37] Speaker B: But really that the polarized, like. [00:44:40] Speaker A: Yeah, all of that. I feel what they got wrong was the meet cute wasn't such a meet cute. It was like more of like an extended. [00:44:52] Speaker B: Yeah. When they're filling out claims like, why put that in there? We got the coffee collision. They should just have had that and been done with it. Yeah. [00:44:58] Speaker A: Ok. So for me, it was a bad meet cute. Who would you play in this? [00:45:06] Speaker B: I think in this one I just want to walk in Mimi Kunitz's shoes. Yeah. And it's fun. The big jewelry, the east. Yeah, I would ham that up. [00:45:18] Speaker A: I think I would play the douche in this. I'm taking a pretty leaning lead. Yeah, I'm taking a lead. [00:45:24] Speaker B: Not condo daddy. [00:45:26] Speaker A: O. I want to be condo daddy. [00:45:29] Speaker B: I thought you might. [00:45:30] Speaker A: Okay, you're right. I'm condo daddy. Because he's got a very impactful scene. Yeah. Yeah. I want to be condo daddy. [00:45:37] Speaker B: And he did smolder. [00:45:38] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, he was great. I'm looking that one up. Okay. And let's see. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Would you sleep with either of them? [00:45:48] Speaker A: All right. No. [00:45:50] Speaker B: Yeah. No. [00:45:51] Speaker A: No. First of all, she's annoying, but she's every Hallmark, you know, trope thrown together. So in that sense, she does her job. He, I thought was really creepy and not attractive and weird and like a 8 year old. Yeah. [00:46:10] Speaker B: He's trafficking her. He's creeping outside the windows. He's doing lots of things that are, you know, illegal. [00:46:16] Speaker A: Yeah. He also seemed like, is he 32 or 64? Like, he's. His age was very, very weird to me. [00:46:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:46:26] Speaker A: Although he's good with his hands and he can make benches and tables. [00:46:29] Speaker B: And clocks. [00:46:30] Speaker A: And clocks. Yeah. [00:46:31] Speaker B: The dexterity is a plus, I guess, but yeah, I didn't get. No, I wouldn't. I wouldn't bang him. [00:46:36] Speaker A: Would you fuck with either of them? [00:46:39] Speaker B: No. No. Especially watching them do this, like kitty play this role play of children. That is very, very off putting to me. So. No, it doesn't. Doesn't do it for me. No. [00:46:50] Speaker A: Sorry. Sorry. Well, that is your recap of a very merry mix up. Lauren, thank you so much for being here. [00:46:56] Speaker B: My pleasure.
