[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Brandon. I love Hallmark Spring Movies. I'm Brian. I like Hallmark Spring Movies.
[00:00:10] Hi, I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Spring Movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.
[00:00:31] Hello everybody. It is great to be here today.
[00:00:40] We did it. We did it. Tuesday morning. We decided to do this one live.
[00:00:46] We survived. We survived the eclipse.
[00:00:49] Again, no rapture which is just starting to believe maybe not what it's so cracked up to be.
[00:00:56] All these signs and wonders just keep happening.
[00:00:59] So we're not going to get to do this again until 2044.
[00:01:02] Another one of the science column everybody.
[00:01:04] You know what's crazy though? There's one in 2044 that three states will see and then the next year of a full drive by.
[00:01:12] I just feel like I was a drive buck.
[00:01:15] Yeah, it's when it goes through the entire continental.
[00:01:19] Oh wow.
[00:01:20] US.
[00:01:21] So also train. Not a drive by.
[00:01:24] I thought you might. I was told in 2017 that that was the last one in my life.
[00:01:32] It's not up on us. It's not up on the school district.
[00:01:35] We have all of them.
[00:01:37] By the way, Grego County.
[00:01:39] I was already pretty peeved about this whole thing where we're 80 getting 82% totality.
[00:01:46] But let's just cancel school willy-nilly.
[00:01:49] Yeah, at the time I didn't realize what time the eclipse would be happening or whatnot.
[00:01:58] I would have been home with my kid by the time the eclipse even.
[00:02:02] Well, I wouldn't reach a peak of close Sunday night.
[00:02:06] I looked it up and I was like, what's going on?
[00:02:08] It's two straight hours and the most it gets is 86% cut like it was still bright a bright sunshiney day in Greenville.
[00:02:17] You could have been completely fine out there.
[00:02:20] Yeah.
[00:02:21] And after it happened, I was I was peeved too before then I was like, you know what?
[00:02:24] I had a great day.
[00:02:25] Great day.
[00:02:26] Had a great day.
[00:02:27] Watched a movie.
[00:02:28] You know when when I just did stuff.
[00:02:31] We went hunting.
[00:02:32] We went hunting.
[00:02:33] Yes.
[00:02:34] We played some video games.
[00:02:35] We beat Super Mario Wonder on switch.
[00:02:37] My kid.
[00:02:38] Congratulations.
[00:02:39] Yeah.
[00:02:40] My kid my seven and a half year old boy Jay, he looked at me as he went to sleep and he looked at me.
[00:02:46] He said, this is the best video game day of my life.
[00:02:49] That's what he said.
[00:02:51] Hey, did you get the things?
[00:02:53] Yeah.
[00:02:54] This is the best video game day of my life.
[00:02:56] That's a great.
[00:02:57] We play like two hours of video games a week maybe so it's a big day.
[00:03:01] The best video game day of his life.
[00:03:03] So thank you Greenville County.
[00:03:04] Now I also encountered an earthquake over the weekend.
[00:03:08] You sure?
[00:03:09] I was in New York City.
[00:03:10] Real survivor.
[00:03:11] I was in New York City and the earthquake happened and even New Yorkers were taken aback by this
[00:03:17] and that's how you know this is a truly special event.
[00:03:21] And so, you know, I've had a busy couple days between the earthquake and the yeah.
[00:03:25] You did mountains.
[00:03:26] I felt the mountains.
[00:03:27] You know what to do?
[00:03:28] I run outside your underwear.
[00:03:30] This is supposed to this isn't this is this.
[00:03:32] So I was in a sixth floor of an apartment in New York City while this is happening
[00:03:38] and where.
[00:03:41] My first thought my first thought was something terrible.
[00:03:44] Yes, second thought because of especially where sound was coming from.
[00:03:49] I saw it thought somebody might be knocking boots above.
[00:03:52] My third was Lord's coming back fourth earthquake.
[00:03:57] That's how that three was Lords coming back.
[00:04:01] Yeah.
[00:04:02] But you said wait a second the eclipse is coming.
[00:04:04] That has to be that.
[00:04:05] I know.
[00:04:06] This can be a rapture has before the no way to lead to the wrap.
[00:04:10] That's exactly right.
[00:04:11] That's why it was so it was so late.
[00:04:13] And I mean the fact that I was still again, I don't know how it's all going to happen
[00:04:18] but I think I get taken pretty quick.
[00:04:21] You know like I don't think you think there's a priority list for the fake rapture.
[00:04:26] No, no, no, no, no, I'm talking like like a weakness.
[00:04:30] I'm talking like how it's like actually going to transpire.
[00:04:34] I think there will be some tremblings of the mountains and then but then I'm like,
[00:04:38] I don't know.
[00:04:39] But I felt like you would know there'd be some sort of horn of sorts.
[00:04:42] I don't know.
[00:04:43] I think the reason why it wasn't my first is there was no horn.
[00:04:47] We should take that brand one day.
[00:04:49] I thought for sure.
[00:04:50] If he's willing to believe there's a horn coming.
[00:04:54] I thought for sure that'd be a horn.
[00:04:56] There's higher prank TV after that.
[00:04:58] Yeah, we think we have your brain.
[00:05:01] Any time I hear a horn out in public, I assume I assume this is it.
[00:05:06] You're taking your shoes off.
[00:05:07] You're going to stop sounding horns in public.
[00:05:08] Everybody thinks they left behind.
[00:05:10] Yeah, I know.
[00:05:11] I know.
[00:05:12] I went to Poppiz and Beer on Sunday and there was a shout out the funniest
[00:05:17] trumpet player I've ever heard.
[00:05:19] He really had a hard time with one of the songs and it was amazing.
[00:05:23] So shout out to Poppiz and Beer.
[00:05:24] Were you in hell?
[00:05:26] It was loud.
[00:05:27] It's loud in there.
[00:05:29] Hey, let's talk about a blind date book.
[00:05:32] A blind date book.
[00:05:34] Did you sing it over the weekend at all?
[00:05:37] I listened to it the whole way here.
[00:05:39] That's all I could think of.
[00:05:40] What is it?
[00:05:41] The blind date book.
[00:05:42] The song, I think it's Craig Morgan, Redneck Yacht Club.
[00:05:45] I don't know.
[00:05:46] The lines are perfect.
[00:05:47] April 6th, 2024 is where you could have watched on Filo, of course.
[00:05:52] On Filo.
[00:05:53] And it went a little something like this.
[00:05:56] Meg is running what was, I don't know, her mom's book club.
[00:06:02] Now she co-owns it with her aunt.
[00:06:05] She's made some big changes since her mom's passed away.
[00:06:08] Apple Pay, blind date with a book club.
[00:06:12] That's what they say.
[00:06:13] She's nervous though that she's not going, that her aunt who's
[00:06:17] coming into town is not going to like all the changes that she
[00:06:19] made and is going to throw a little bit of a hissy fit.
[00:06:22] We then meet a best-selling author, Graham Sterling, who is wanting
[00:06:27] to do something new in his career.
[00:06:30] Even though he's supposed to be writing the eighth book in his
[00:06:33] very popular YA book series, he says, I want to do something
[00:06:38] new, historical romance is what I want to do.
[00:06:42] And so he actually has this book written.
[00:06:44] His agent's like, I don't want any part of this.
[00:06:46] Meg's being interviewed on the radio and is surprised that
[00:06:49] the interviewer only wants to talk about the blind date book club.
[00:06:52] It is huge, the blind date book club.
[00:06:54] Everybody's talking about it from around the world.
[00:06:56] And they're coming to this book club where you blind date and
[00:07:00] book and stuff.
[00:07:01] Graham is listening to the interview on the radio in the car
[00:07:07] and is taking a back when Meg is talking about this
[00:07:11] book club.
[00:07:12] He's like, this is exactly what I need.
[00:07:14] Coincidentally, they end up meeting when somebody asks Meg
[00:07:18] to take a picture of them.
[00:07:20] Graham just happens to be there and is like, oh my God, you, me,
[00:07:23] what?
[00:07:24] They get a picture taken with each other.
[00:07:26] He goes to the bookstore.
[00:07:28] They bump into each other again and she asks if he asked her
[00:07:32] if she would consider reading this book.
[00:07:36] And she's like, well, if I find the time, I guess maybe
[00:07:39] I can.
[00:07:40] And would you also mind maybe putting it into the blind date
[00:07:45] book club?
[00:07:47] And she's like, that's not, I don't think that's what I do.
[00:07:50] That's when he's like, OK, here's the deal.
[00:07:52] I'm actually, I'm Graham.
[00:07:55] I want to, I'm self-publishing this book.
[00:07:57] Please give it a shot.
[00:08:00] Why?
[00:08:01] Because she decides I'm going to give this a shot because
[00:08:05] her aunt wants out and she has to decide is this
[00:08:08] what I really want to do?
[00:08:09] I don't know.
[00:08:11] She immediately begins to consider going back to become
[00:08:14] a real estate agent.
[00:08:17] And it could be good for her.
[00:08:20] She and Graham hang out some more giving him feedback
[00:08:24] on his book.
[00:08:26] To thank her, he takes her out to dinner.
[00:08:28] They have a great time.
[00:08:30] He walks her home and they kiss.
[00:08:35] It's time for the book club where they're all going
[00:08:37] to talk about Graham's secret book.
[00:08:39] Now, him and Meg know that he is Graham.
[00:08:45] But the book is under a pseudonym.
[00:08:48] A pseudonym.
[00:08:50] And so everyone else doesn't know that this is written
[00:08:55] by a famous author.
[00:08:57] And they won't know.
[00:08:59] They don't like the book.
[00:09:02] They talk about that this book is trash, et cetera.
[00:09:06] And that's unfortunate.
[00:09:09] And then it comes out, hey guys, you may recognize me.
[00:09:14] I am Graham and I actually wrote the book.
[00:09:17] And now they're like, what is going on here?
[00:09:20] Can I have your address?
[00:09:22] Why did Meg pick this book?
[00:09:24] Is there some shenanigans?
[00:09:27] Your autograph.
[00:09:29] Your famous, can I have your address?
[00:09:31] Can I have your address?
[00:09:33] Your famous people, you mean?
[00:09:35] And they're like questioning her integrity of the book club.
[00:09:40] Why did she actually pick this book?
[00:09:42] In the heat of the moment, Meg says, you know what?
[00:09:45] I'm selling the book shop.
[00:09:48] Graham realizes that his book is trash.
[00:09:51] But has learned some lessons along the way
[00:09:55] and he applies those lessons to the eighth installment
[00:09:58] of the series which his agent absolutely loved.
[00:10:01] He's like, you know what?
[00:10:03] Polish that bad boy up.
[00:10:05] We'll see what we can do with it.
[00:10:07] Don't give up on your dreams.
[00:10:09] And after seeing how much the book club and the bookstore
[00:10:12] is meant to people, Meg decides that she wants to keep it.
[00:10:15] So Graham surprises her at the bookstore
[00:10:17] and is like, hey I told my sister about you.
[00:10:20] She's a big fan and I guess if she's a big fan
[00:10:23] we should give this a shot.
[00:10:25] And they're like, yay, let's do that.
[00:10:27] They kiss and now my friend was.
[00:10:30] I don't know enough about that melody to sing.
[00:10:36] I think you'd love it.
[00:10:38] Your big country music.
[00:10:40] It's a blind date.
[00:10:41] It's a blind date book club.
[00:10:43] It's a blind date book club.
[00:10:45] Let's get to having a blind date reading the book.
[00:10:48] It's a blind date book club.
[00:10:50] Drink it.
[00:10:51] We're gonna take a quick break.
[00:10:53] He goes away from it so quickly.
[00:10:56] I would say a quick break.
[00:10:58] Break this movie down with our four segments here on.
[00:11:01] Deck the Hallmark.
[00:11:03] Okay, that's not great.
[00:11:06] We all were a second late.
[00:11:08] Y'all I don't know about you.
[00:11:11] Hair thinning sucks.
[00:11:13] I'll say it.
[00:11:14] You'll say it.
[00:11:15] I'll put it out there.
[00:11:16] It's not a problem for you.
[00:11:17] It's not a problem for me.
[00:11:18] I look at you and I'm like, that sucks for you.
[00:11:20] Yeah, it does.
[00:11:21] Do you know how often that I'm just like,
[00:11:23] I'm gonna shave my head.
[00:11:24] I'm gonna shave my head.
[00:11:25] I just rather not deal with it.
[00:11:27] Well, I was gonna shave my head.
[00:11:28] You were?
[00:11:29] And then Nutrifull said, why don't you try this first?
[00:11:32] And I want to try a product that was bad for me.
[00:11:34] No.
[00:11:35] I didn't want to do that.
[00:11:36] No, you did not.
[00:11:37] But what they sent me is something that dermatologists recommend.
[00:11:39] It's the number one dermatologist recommend.
[00:11:41] Because it's a bunch of natural ingredients.
[00:11:43] It's not a bunch of chemicals.
[00:11:44] It's biotin.
[00:11:45] It's zinc.
[00:11:46] It's a bunch of vitamins.
[00:11:47] Oh, I love vitamins.
[00:11:49] You take it.
[00:11:50] It has been proven in men and women to make your hair thicker.
[00:11:54] That's right.
[00:11:55] And what you're taking is good for you.
[00:11:57] It's a supplement you can take every day.
[00:11:59] So it's win-win.
[00:12:00] So I've been trying it.
[00:12:01] My barber says he notices new hair growth patterns.
[00:12:03] And here's all you.
[00:12:04] Wait, do you guys actually know I've used Nutrifull but I paid for it?

[00:13:17] I couldn't start until you started.
[00:13:18] Yes.
[00:13:19] Somehow I was also late.
[00:13:21] It's a mystery.
[00:13:22] We're talking about Blind Date Book Club, the Saturday Night Hallmark Channel release,
[00:13:29] Aaron Cracow of course, the big movie premiere before the big close the heart premiere.
[00:13:34] Good synergy there I will say but is it enough to save this movie?
[00:13:39] Let's find out.
[00:13:40] It's time for the hot take.
[00:13:41] It is where we share exactly how he felt about this movie and I will start with
[00:13:44] you, Brian.
[00:13:45] What did you think of the Blind Date Book Club?
[00:13:48] Nice use of synergy first of all.
[00:13:50] Yeah, really nicely done.
[00:13:51] I'm synergetic.
[00:13:52] Obviously.
[00:13:53] No you lost it.
[00:13:54] You put the sin in synergy.
[00:13:56] Thank you.
[00:13:57] You were really proud of that.
[00:14:02] It was only okay.
[00:14:03] I was cutting the grass the other day and I remembered the test and testament.
[00:14:06] I was like I'm going to call that back sometime.
[00:14:08] Test and testimony.
[00:14:09] Whatever.
[00:14:10] Sure.
[00:14:11] So that worked out great.
[00:14:14] I feel like we were pretty hard on this one in the preview.
[00:14:17] Yeah.
[00:14:18] Because we didn't understand.
[00:14:19] There's a better movie there.
[00:14:20] Yeah.
[00:14:21] We didn't understand it all.
[00:14:22] Aaron, could you turn off the reactions that just happened again?
[00:14:24] They keep going on.
[00:14:25] No, you're fine.
[00:14:26] You're fine.
[00:14:27] And I was like we had a better, we liked this more when we thought it was a different
[00:14:31] type of movie and so I forget where it landed for me but I ended up really liking
[00:14:36] this movie and I felt like the problems we had were like this sounds like it should
[00:14:41] be a dating thing.
[00:14:42] Like they kind of joked about it in the like the NPR layer kept bringing it
[00:14:46] right.
[00:14:47] So it wasn't just us.
[00:14:48] But I will say I kept thinking they know there should, they know that this would be a better
[00:14:53] movie if it was like right.
[00:14:55] They even know it.
[00:14:56] Exactly.
[00:14:57] So they joked about it instead of making it.
[00:14:58] Right.
[00:14:59] It's a weird move.
[00:15:00] Yeah.
[00:15:01] But they did know it.
[00:15:02] You're right.
[00:15:03] So that, that I was surprised.
[00:15:04] I was pleasantly surprised.
[00:15:05] The reading community, I feel like it did like it was great owed to readers and
[00:15:09] to writers.
[00:15:10] It was a great ode to readers.
[00:15:11] Yeah.
[00:15:12] Like they did a good job representing how much it they owe.
[00:15:15] I love that you are speaking for and I want to get this reading and writing community and
[00:15:20] the writing community.
[00:15:21] Literally most of the developed earth.
[00:15:24] Yeah.
[00:15:25] Yeah.
[00:15:26] I feel like I got enough.
[00:15:27] They did well by six billion of them.
[00:15:32] They were doing what's right for the six billion.
[00:15:34] I'm working on being included in this.
[00:15:36] You're almost there.
[00:15:37] You're almost there.
[00:15:38] I'm working on it.
[00:15:39] You're almost there.
[00:15:40] Well, I think, hey, I think you're included.
[00:15:41] I'm going to speak for 75% of the plane of earth.
[00:15:43] Yeah.
[00:15:44] So I feel like they did a good job.
[00:15:45] Like it made me want to be around the, in the reading community more than I already am.
[00:15:51] So good job.
[00:15:53] Like I said, they, they,
[00:15:54] You gotta get reading community shirts.
[00:15:56] I think at some point.
[00:15:58] You know what I was glad about?
[00:15:59] They didn't stretch out the lie.
[00:16:01] His name.
[00:16:02] Yeah.
[00:16:03] They didn't.
[00:16:04] That was nice.
[00:16:05] That was a nice,
[00:16:06] It showed a lot of integrity there.
[00:16:07] So yeah.
[00:16:08] And she had some, I feel like she had some stakes here.
[00:16:09] Her credibility was really at stake.
[00:16:10] Rivire.
[00:16:11] Yeah.
[00:16:12] I think Rivire Rib-Eye is where she was out there.
[00:16:14] So yeah, I ended up liking it more than I expected.
[00:16:16] I was pleasantly surprised at a real good time.
[00:16:18] Me and the reading community.
[00:16:19] Yeah.
[00:16:20] I liked it a lot.
[00:16:21] Um, yeah.
[00:16:22] You're big for all oxygen.
[00:16:23] Listen, I guess I'm now a part of the reading community because I also enjoyed this movie.
[00:16:29] Um, I, I've said it before.
[00:16:31] I don't think that there's anybody on the network that plays the, this guy's,
[00:16:37] I like this guy face more than Krakow.
[00:16:40] She just really does that.
[00:16:41] Yeah.
[00:16:42] Oh my gosh, this guy.
[00:16:43] And, um, it's hard not to be like, this is, she's charming.
[00:16:47] She's charming in this movie.
[00:16:49] She's charming and all the things that she does.
[00:16:51] Um, I don't know if I necessarily bought the two of them even by the end of this
[00:16:56] movie as, as people that are in, you know, strong like with each other.
[00:17:01] But, uh, I was surprised by this movie.
[00:17:05] I did quite enjoy it.
[00:17:06] It was, um, it was a slow pace movie, but it didn't feel boring.
[00:17:12] It just felt like this is nice.
[00:17:14] It was nice.
[00:17:15] Um, much like whatever city it is that they are Nantucket, a nice little town.
[00:17:22] It's nice.
[00:17:23] It's not boring.
[00:17:24] It's very nice.
[00:17:25] Nice.
[00:17:26] And that's how I felt about this movie.
[00:17:28] Uh, I quite enjoyed it.
[00:17:29] Dan.
[00:17:30] Yeah.
[00:17:31] I was kind of into this movie through the first date.
[00:17:34] I think when they kiss at the end of that first date, I was like, are they making a
[00:17:39] really like quality like movie here?
[00:17:42] And then I realized there was still like 32 minutes left in this thing.
[00:17:46] And then at that point it kind of shifts gears into a very formulaic what you
[00:17:53] expect from hallmark and somehow it slows down too.
[00:17:57] And so the first 60% or so I was on board with, I like Buckley and
[00:18:02] and Craig co.
[00:18:03] Normally I think Robert Buckley is funny first and not usually like best chemistry
[00:18:08] necessarily with, with, with the other leads.
[00:18:11] But in this movie, I actually thought their chemistry was fine.
[00:18:13] If not really good, uh, that kiss at the end of the first date felt like two grown
[00:18:17] adults who had just gone on a first date.
[00:18:19] That made a lot of sense.
[00:18:20] I thought it was a good kiss.
[00:18:21] I thought it was a great kiss.
[00:18:22] And then at, and then at the end of this after that just about wait after
[00:18:27] that happens, I felt like the last 32 minutes of this movie was really,
[00:18:32] really stupid.
[00:18:33] Just like you got to find what made you write these seven YA novels somewhere
[00:18:38] in you again and I'm selling the bookstore.
[00:18:41] No, I'm not a dumb misunderstanding.
[00:18:43] The way the bookstore finds out is he really famous?
[00:18:46] Is he not?
[00:18:47] So the last 32 minutes, I kind of hated the first 45 50.
[00:18:51] I was really on board with all that to say this crop of movies this
[00:18:56] year hasn't been great.
[00:18:57] And so this, if I'm ranking them, this has to be up there near the top right
[00:19:02] now because I think the first 45 or 50 minutes were, were that strong.
[00:19:06] And then I liked a lot of what they did.
[00:19:08] They didn't like let the name thing go in too long with her.
[00:19:11] I thought that was really good.
[00:19:12] And then I thought the last 30 minutes of this fell completely apart.
[00:19:16] And I, that was unfortunate.
[00:19:17] And I like that his book, the book sucked.
[00:19:19] And it like, it wasn't like, Hey, just, it wasn't just Aaron.
[00:19:22] It wasn't just for Cal.
[00:19:23] Well then let's do it.
[00:19:24] It's time for all the fields.
[00:19:25] Dan kick us off.
[00:19:26] Please.
[00:19:27] The fact that they just let this guy who's a professional and is
[00:19:31] successful, just have written a bad book is great.
[00:19:36] Like I can't overstate the fact that that just doesn't happen in
[00:19:39] these movies.
[00:19:40] You don't have somebody who is like, he's confident, bordering
[00:19:43] on arrogant.
[00:19:44] He's good.
[00:19:45] He knows he's good.
[00:19:46] He's well spoken.
[00:19:47] He's successful at his job and dude just wrote a bad book.
[00:19:50] Like you keep thinking that the, the savior is coming.
[00:19:54] No pun intended.
[00:19:55] Nope.
[00:19:56] But there's no horn.
[00:19:57] There's no horn.
[00:19:58] You think it's going to happen?
[00:20:00] No book sucks.
[00:20:01] It's bad.
[00:20:02] Even when the people find out who he is, one of the readers
[00:20:07] is like, you're a great writer, not this, but that's right.
[00:20:11] Your other books.
[00:20:12] Yeah.
[00:20:13] And so I appreciated that he just had to figure out a way
[00:20:15] to be honest with himself and go, you know what, this
[00:20:17] isn't very good.
[00:20:18] And that's, that is, that is a level of character and
[00:20:22] integrity that a homework typically does not show.
[00:20:24] So I really appreciated that.
[00:20:26] Brian.
[00:20:27] Yeah.
[00:20:28] Mine is sort of tangential to that.
[00:20:29] And it's, I can't say that here.
[00:20:30] Yeah.
[00:20:31] Tangential sounds like it.
[00:20:32] It was gentle though.
[00:20:33] It was like, it was gentle.
[00:20:35] It's kind of gentle.
[00:20:37] It was somebody.
[00:20:39] There's some go ahead.
[00:20:40] Yeah.
[00:20:41] We'll get back to that.
[00:20:42] It was just getting feedback from somebody on something
[00:20:45] you created was my feels him.
[00:20:47] Like being able to sit with somebody and have them like,
[00:20:49] okay, this is exactly what I thought.
[00:20:51] And he's literally taking notes on her just tearing his work
[00:20:54] apart.
[00:20:55] And then he gets to sit there anonymously.
[00:20:57] Can I say that?
[00:20:58] Yes.
[00:20:59] And here people talk about his stuff without knowing it's
[00:21:01] him.
[00:21:02] So gloves are off.
[00:21:03] Yeah.
[00:21:04] That whole, I love, yes.
[00:21:05] It's like a 10 in your funeral.
[00:21:06] It's really like a great bit.
[00:21:07] I love that.
[00:21:08] I was so jealous of that.
[00:21:09] Hey, Aaron, what are your thoughts on when Brian
[00:21:12] comes in and gives you feedback on graphics that
[00:21:15] you're working on?
[00:21:16] We have to do this here.
[00:21:18] You think you're going to throw up right now?
[00:21:23] I'm making a mess of the time.
[00:21:26] Sure are.
[00:21:27] Yeah.
[00:21:28] So Brian has this knack where I am just about ready to hit
[00:21:31] download on a graphic that I've been working on pretty much
[00:21:34] all day.
[00:21:35] And Brian would be like, so what do you do?
[00:21:38] Change in this and I'm like, so placeholder you got
[00:21:41] up there or are we going to add some real stuff for
[00:21:44] every time he just comes in, looks at it for five seconds.
[00:21:47] I see where you're going, but you're not done yet.
[00:21:49] Right?
[00:21:50] But at least he's a get at least he's not just a taker.
[00:21:53] He's a giver to he, you know, he's not one of those people
[00:21:56] that's like, hey, love me the way I want to be loved.
[00:21:59] And I'm just gonna do anything.
[00:22:00] That's true.
[00:22:01] He practices what he won't preach.
[00:22:03] True.
[00:22:04] Yes.
[00:22:05] He dishes it right out for better or worse.
[00:22:06] Mostly worse.
[00:22:07] Yeah.
[00:22:08] I love the shots of when she walks inside after the kiss.
[00:22:12] She goes and leans up against the wall and you can see him
[00:22:15] still outside and it's a really cool way to show both of them
[00:22:19] and how they're responding in that moment.
[00:22:21] And I thought that was really, really well done.
[00:22:23] It's like a real life both hands.
[00:22:24] Oh yes.
[00:22:25] Not it's like a split screen, but one of the better shots
[00:22:30] we've seen all year.
[00:22:31] Yeah.
[00:22:32] Really, really good.
[00:22:33] That was that was decent.
[00:22:34] Okay.
[00:22:35] Yeah.
[00:22:36] Thanks.
[00:22:37] Still up there next time.
[00:22:38] Like not.
[00:22:39] Wow.
[00:22:41] Wow.
[00:22:42] Came all the way back down.
[00:22:43] Let's say a quick break.
[00:22:45] We'll come back.
[00:22:46] We'll get to the way what the what the hallmark here on deck.
[00:22:48] The home.
[00:22:49] Brian.
[00:22:52] Let's try to jump way early on that.
[00:22:54] I was right with him.
[00:22:58] What's up everybody?
[00:22:59] Everybody is having a good time.
[00:23:02] Nope.
[00:23:05] I know I'm having a good time.
[00:23:07] I'm watching this movie on Milo.
[00:23:10] I'm loving my life.
[00:23:12] You can watch this episode on Milo.
[00:23:14] Follow that TV slash DTH.
[00:23:17] Let's get to the way what it is where we share our moments
[00:23:21] in this movie that made us go, wait, what?
[00:23:23] Right.
[00:23:24] Yeah.
[00:23:25] Just real quick.
[00:23:26] I'm just going to breeze by someone would definitely
[00:23:28] recognize his face.
[00:23:29] Yes.
[00:23:30] Somebody in a book like somebody at some point,
[00:23:32] you can either have him famous enough to recognize or
[00:23:36] not.
[00:23:37] Yeah.
[00:23:38] You can't do both.
[00:23:39] They're just playing roulette with this.
[00:23:42] Don't worry about it.
[00:23:44] His face is on every book.
[00:23:45] My thing is he's clearly not famous enough to be mulled in
[00:23:48] the street because he's walking wherever he goes.
[00:23:50] No one ever bothers him.
[00:23:52] So I had a problem with him being recognized at all.
[00:23:55] That's where I stood on it.
[00:23:56] But also you just can't have it both ways.
[00:23:59] Yeah.
[00:24:00] The reserving spots in a bar can't be a thing like in
[00:24:05] society at the actual bar itself.
[00:24:07] At the bar.
[00:24:08] Like yes, because via sign you can't do that.
[00:24:13] Like I...
[00:24:14] Yes.
[00:24:15] Go ahead.
[00:24:16] I just assumed it was because he was a famous author
[00:24:19] like he called it.
[00:24:20] It shouldn't matter because here's why.
[00:24:22] It's Nantucket.
[00:24:23] It's a small town.
[00:24:24] Here's what they want.
[00:24:25] The way I understood that was he's a big deal and got
[00:24:28] a reservation which doesn't make sense because no one
[00:24:31] recognizes him.
[00:24:32] But he decided to do that at the bar which is super
[00:24:36] public in front of everybody.
[00:24:38] Yeah.
[00:24:39] With a reserved sign.
[00:24:40] Yeah.
[00:24:41] Did he go in there and just write that there?
[00:24:43] Exactly where it was.
[00:24:44] It was unbelievable.
[00:24:45] Like I didn't talk to anybody at the Nantucket
[00:24:48] restaurant.
[00:24:49] Just read in.
[00:24:50] I think he went there earlier in the evening.
[00:24:52] Put those down and said...
[00:24:54] Open for the best.
[00:24:56] Like hopefully no one moves them.
[00:24:57] The problem with that is I'm anxious enough walking
[00:25:00] into any restaurant space where you got to figure out
[00:25:03] what you're doing.
[00:25:04] At least a bar I always know.
[00:25:07] You know why that's funny?
[00:25:08] It's because it's so true.
[00:25:09] I'm looking at it and I'm like I don't know what to do.
[00:25:11] At least in a bar, you always know.
[00:25:13] Bars are free for all.
[00:25:15] Another good prank TV would be is we all decide to go
[00:25:18] and do something weird at restaurant to see if he
[00:25:21] doesn't.
[00:25:22] We all go on the floor and do something like we
[00:25:25] start singing our Christmas tree or just do something
[00:25:27] you have to hit the head real quick.
[00:25:29] Or we just move this entire office and don't tell him.
[00:25:32] I don't know what to do man.
[00:25:34] We fire him.
[00:25:36] He calls ahead and asks for a blueprint of the
[00:25:40] establishment before going to.
[00:25:42] I know this might be...
[00:25:44] I've driven to places and there's not been a clear
[00:25:46] spot to park and I've just driven home.
[00:25:48] Like I've done this move where I'm like I'm
[00:25:50] not dealing with this.
[00:25:51] So you walk, like if you walk into a bar and
[00:25:53] the bar should be sacred.
[00:25:54] Like it should always be...
[00:25:56] First come, first served.
[00:25:57] Yes.
[00:25:58] And then bring them like what am I going to do?
[00:26:00] If I see that they're reserving bar seats it is a
[00:26:03] place that I'm probably not.
[00:26:05] Yeah you don't want to be there.
[00:26:07] And lobster ice cream get out of here.
[00:26:09] That's disgusting.
[00:26:10] I wrote down lobster ice cream.
[00:26:12] I don't want any part of it.
[00:26:14] Lobster ice cream is disgusting.
[00:26:16] What I'm trying to in my mouth think about how
[00:26:19] it would be and I don't want it to be.
[00:26:21] No, no it's got to be grosser than...
[00:26:23] What do we have the hot dog candy canes?
[00:26:25] The hot dog and then we had some sort of
[00:26:27] like a little bit of a juggling.
[00:26:28] It has to be worse than that.
[00:26:29] So gross.
[00:26:30] So that's enough for me.
[00:26:33] So he has a good relationship with his sister and
[00:26:36] you know he talks on the phone with her on a
[00:26:38] regular basis.
[00:26:39] Does get the thumbs up approval that he needs
[00:26:43] to date her at the end.
[00:26:45] But she does a thing where he's on the
[00:26:48] phone with her and she's like no one's here
[00:26:51] right now and he's like well why don't I go
[00:26:54] and you can have the night to yourself and
[00:26:56] she's like no but whisper.
[00:26:58] And then I have a whisper conversation and
[00:27:00] I just didn't like it.
[00:27:02] I just by and large didn't enjoy that
[00:27:05] and I just want to put it on the record.
[00:27:07] I didn't know it was a thing that I didn't like.
[00:27:09] I don't like apparently hearing two people
[00:27:11] whisper on TV.
[00:27:12] I don't want any part of that.
[00:27:13] And so I just wanted to put it out there in
[00:27:14] the universe.
[00:27:15] This radio host is fascinating because
[00:27:18] this radio host is somebody who goes
[00:27:22] to a bookstore and interviews somebody
[00:27:24] live on the radio.
[00:27:26] She's great.
[00:27:27] She's also a radio person that does
[00:27:30] apparently long form hard hitting
[00:27:34] journalism.
[00:27:35] She's like going back and I'm getting a follow
[00:27:37] up but this isn't live anymore.
[00:27:39] I'm now researching.
[00:27:41] I've gone from doing the live interviews to
[00:27:44] now being the person who's doing long
[00:27:47] long form investigative research on
[00:27:52] book stores and then talk it.
[00:27:54] And she's just a fascinating person to be
[00:27:57] that person exist.
[00:28:01] No one else in the book club read the
[00:28:04] book aside from the one couple that was
[00:28:07] giving the feedback.
[00:28:08] No one after the first roast or the thing.
[00:28:10] It may have something to do with
[00:28:11] everybody else being extras but I'm
[00:28:13] not convinced that any of them read the
[00:28:15] book and it's probably for the best
[00:28:17] because it was garbage.
[00:28:19] But Dan you mentioned that you thought it
[00:28:22] was a good kiss.
[00:28:23] I thought the idea was good.
[00:28:28] Didn't think it was a good kiss at all.
[00:28:30] In fact, I have seen spicier kisses in
[00:28:34] the 1910s where they were in Cranko
[00:28:38] then right here in this movie.
[00:28:40] Not spicy, not good, didn't like it.
[00:28:43] I thought that kiss was better than the
[00:28:45] kiss at the end.
[00:28:46] Yeah I didn't think either of them were good.
[00:28:48] I thought the kiss at the end was a little suspect.
[00:28:50] Listen, I think that's why I had a hard time
[00:28:53] with the chemistry.
[00:28:54] I like it when they're talking and then
[00:28:55] they start kissing.
[00:28:56] I'm like you two don't like each other.
[00:28:58] That was my vibe.
[00:29:00] I'm just saying what I'm saying.
[00:29:02] I don't like hard kisses and I don't
[00:29:04] like bad kisses.
[00:29:05] I didn't get that vibe at all man but good for
[00:29:07] you.
[00:29:08] Fine, fine.
[00:29:09] I'm just vibing.
[00:29:11] Dan you go.
[00:29:12] You're not speaking for him.
[00:29:14] You're speaking for the reading community.
[00:29:16] Right.
[00:29:17] Okay just make it true.
[00:29:18] Absolutely.
[00:29:19] I don't think they know what national
[00:29:22] public radio is in this movie.
[00:29:24] They say national public radio several times
[00:29:26] because I can only assume they can't say
[00:29:28] NPR that's the best I can figure.
[00:29:31] NPR does not go live on a random Tuesday.
[00:29:34] They don't.
[00:29:35] The structure of this entire movie is built
[00:29:38] on Robert Buckley's character
[00:29:40] listening to NPR and catching a live
[00:29:43] radio broadcast.
[00:29:45] No.
[00:29:46] No.
[00:29:47] The reason I know that is is
[00:29:49] Brandon and I have a little bit of
[00:29:51] experience with our local NPR station
[00:29:54] and the amount of time they take to
[00:29:57] make sure everything sounds exactly how
[00:30:00] they want it to sound is impressive.
[00:30:03] That's a little hostility there.
[00:30:04] No, no, no.
[00:30:05] It's great.
[00:30:06] They're not going to send.
[00:30:07] It's okay but can we just get one more.
[00:30:09] One more take.
[00:30:10] It's tangent.
[00:30:11] It's tangent.
[00:30:12] Yeah.
[00:30:13] We're here for everybody.
[00:30:14] They're not just the tangent.
[00:30:16] No, of course.
[00:30:17] But the thing is that they're not going to
[00:30:19] send any hosts in there just to
[00:30:21] free will interview somebody live.
[00:30:23] They're not going to do that.
[00:30:25] So the fact that Buckley hears it is crazy.
[00:30:27] My next way what is a really positive
[00:30:29] weight what Nantucket
[00:30:31] is 85% white.
[00:30:34] That is the actual demographic.
[00:30:36] We have found in Nantucket
[00:30:38] the most diverse bookstore
[00:30:41] in Nantucket's ever seen.
[00:30:44] It is unbelievable considering how 8.5
[00:30:46] out of every 10 people you see
[00:30:48] in Nantucket are white.
[00:30:49] This bookstore is like
[00:30:51] where everyone that isn't white
[00:30:53] hangs out in one bookstore.
[00:30:55] Very, very impressive.
[00:30:56] It's almost like it was actually
[00:30:58] Canada.
[00:30:59] The room where they meet,
[00:31:01] where Buckley meets his boss
[00:31:03] when they first walk in,
[00:31:05] you see a big picture in the background
[00:31:07] of his book series, Parachutes and whatever.
[00:31:10] Yeah, whatever it is. Parachutes and hangovers.
[00:31:12] Shoot some, yeah, shoot some models.
[00:31:14] And I thought it was like on a TV screen
[00:31:16] they were doing just to like pump him up.
[00:31:18] And then as they're talking in that board room
[00:31:20] you see that it's not their actual posters
[00:31:22] and they've, they cover
[00:31:24] every wall in there.
[00:31:27] Why?
[00:31:28] It's a big deal.
[00:31:29] I understood but what else are they using that
[00:31:31] is it just the Buckley room?
[00:31:33] Like it's just the room where we put
[00:31:35] all of the posters from this
[00:31:37] seven book series.
[00:31:38] You know what would be funny if that changed
[00:31:40] when he wasn't like, if they did that for him?
[00:31:42] Well, that was my thing is I thought it, but no,
[00:31:44] it's a, but then later we see the room again.
[00:31:46] Same thing.
[00:31:47] And it has turned into his boss,
[00:31:49] his agent's office.
[00:31:50] His agent now has a desk in there
[00:31:52] but it's the same room.
[00:31:54] So you know, be better there I guess.
[00:31:57] At one point her friend
[00:31:59] who does recognize Graham Sterling
[00:32:01] is writing and Graham
[00:32:03] comes in and goes, are you writing?
[00:32:05] And she goes, can you call it that if you don't get paid?
[00:32:08] Yes.
[00:32:11] That is more offensive to the writing community
[00:32:14] than Brian speaking for the reading community.
[00:32:16] Wow.
[00:32:17] Most writers aren't paid.
[00:32:18] I'm here to speak on behalf of them and they're okay with that.
[00:32:21] You would have more cred to speak on behalf
[00:32:23] of the writing community I think than the reading community.
[00:32:25] Maybe.
[00:32:26] Yeah.
[00:32:27] I'll do that too then.
[00:32:28] Yes it is.
[00:32:29] I cannot believe that we got to me
[00:32:31] and no one mentioned that somehow Graham Sterling
[00:32:33] door dashed an open air basket of muffins.
[00:32:36] He door dash delivered in the morning
[00:32:39] a open air, those muffins could have been anywhere.
[00:32:43] I'm not a germaphobe but if I open my door to someone
[00:32:47] that's rung the doorbell and left and I don't see them
[00:32:50] and there's a basket of muffins
[00:32:52] with no top on them and no label of where they came from
[00:32:55] not eating those muffins.
[00:32:58] Especially if there's a note in calligraphy
[00:33:01] on top of those muffins.
[00:33:03] What kind of muffins?
[00:33:05] You're good?
[00:33:07] Chocolate chip.
[00:33:08] Oh yeah.
[00:33:09] You're in.
[00:33:10] It's a basket of open air muffins.
[00:33:12] You don't know where they came from.
[00:33:14] You guys are in.
[00:33:15] What if they're still warm?
[00:33:17] Three out of four here.
[00:33:19] I'm trying the muffins.
[00:33:20] Okay, good for you guys.
[00:33:21] Last but not least.
[00:33:22] Throwing out the calligraphy.
[00:33:24] If it's coffee cake.
[00:33:26] Forget about that.
[00:33:28] You could just inject those with diseases.
[00:33:31] Yeah, I would eat them.
[00:33:33] At least I'd die happy.
[00:33:35] Last but not least and this is one that I just was like
[00:33:38] I'm trying to forgive and I can't.
[00:33:40] So his new book is a historical romance.
[00:33:43] So it takes place in the past and it's a romance.
[00:33:45] And people keep talking about how they didn't feel the romance.
[00:33:48] And he finally says,
[00:33:50] I'm going to give this book another shot.
[00:33:52] I have to live it first.
[00:33:54] You cannot live in the past.
[00:33:56] You can't do it.
[00:33:57] You cannot live a historically based romance.
[00:34:01] You can't do that.
[00:34:03] I think he meant specifically the romance part of it.
[00:34:06] I'm sure that's what he meant,
[00:34:07] but that's not what he said and that's not why the movie was bad.
[00:34:10] I thought that too though.
[00:34:11] It was real stupid.
[00:34:12] Like real stupid.
[00:34:13] The problem was what you don't know is
[00:34:15] is he's close to figuring out time travel.
[00:34:18] He's close.
[00:34:19] Of course.
[00:34:20] He's exciting.
[00:34:21] I just got to work through it.
[00:34:22] Got to write through it.
[00:34:23] That's right.
[00:34:24] It's time for what the homework is where we wonder
[00:34:25] if we can maybe have it.
[00:34:26] Give us any questions that we still have.
[00:34:27] Brian.
[00:34:28] Yeah.
[00:34:29] I just one thing that all the sort of kept taking me out
[00:34:31] was why was she so worried about going on her own?
[00:34:34] Like this seemed like this shop was pretty established by now.
[00:34:38] Yeah.
[00:34:39] Like the place is always packed.
[00:34:40] Yes.
[00:34:41] For a bookstore.
[00:34:42] You kidding me?
[00:34:43] All these great events.
[00:34:44] Like what's why what is the big deal that the aunt wants out?
[00:34:47] Like you, you've been in business dozens of years.
[00:34:50] I don't know.
[00:34:51] Her mom started it.
[00:34:52] Like she easily get a loan to do this on her own.
[00:34:54] I can't imagine she would even need to.
[00:34:56] So I just was like, what's the big deal?
[00:34:59] Like this place runs itself at this point.
[00:35:01] You know,
[00:35:02] It's a Monday book club.
[00:35:03] That's what it is.
[00:35:04] I want to take you guys back to the initial meet cute on the
[00:35:10] wall or whatever.
[00:35:12] What was he doing there?
[00:35:14] Because there's a family.
[00:35:16] Weird meet.
[00:35:17] There's it was a weird meet.
[00:35:18] There's a family out.
[00:35:20] There's a family.
[00:35:21] There's Aaron Cracow and this family says, can you take a picture
[00:35:25] and and and he's just kind of like this.
[00:35:28] Standing there.
[00:35:30] I don't know what he's doing.
[00:35:32] No.
[00:35:33] And then he's I don't I don't know.
[00:35:35] I don't know what he's doing.
[00:35:38] Especially because the only reason he is in this town is
[00:35:43] because he heard an interview on the radio.
[00:35:46] When in the club.
[00:35:48] Go straight to the book.
[00:35:49] Go to the bookstore.
[00:35:50] Yes.
[00:35:51] He's over there to stand and all look up.
[00:35:53] Look at that.
[00:35:54] Would you look at that?
[00:35:55] Would you look at that?
[00:35:56] Would you look at this?
[00:35:57] Would you look at that?
[00:35:58] It was a I don't even really know what the what the hallmark
[00:36:02] is other than.
[00:36:03] That was weird right?
[00:36:04] Right.
[00:36:05] What you looking at there?
[00:36:07] What you looking at there?
[00:36:08] No, my what the hallmark is what you looking at?
[00:36:10] What you looking at?
[00:36:11] Yeah, looking at them.
[00:36:12] Um, yeah.
[00:36:13] Why can't we pay the child actors in this movie?
[00:36:16] There is several scenes with Graham Sterling's nieces and
[00:36:21] they never talk.
[00:36:22] And then they're sitting at the table for breakfast the
[00:36:24] morning that she gets the Door Dash open air basket of
[00:36:26] muffins.
[00:36:27] Delicious looking muffins.
[00:36:28] And she's like, all right, we've got we've got a we've got
[00:36:32] this and this for breakfast.
[00:36:33] And we've pan over the kids silent.
[00:36:35] And you know how kids when they sit at bar stools very
[00:36:38] well behaved notoriously silent notoriously.
[00:36:41] No one makes a sound.
[00:36:42] No one does better with bar stools.
[00:36:45] Kids are amazing especially you get them to swivel.
[00:36:48] Kids couldn't be more still and quiet.
[00:36:50] It is like, man, it's better than video games really get a
[00:36:53] couple of them next to each other too.
[00:36:55] Oh my gosh.
[00:36:56] They don't instigate at all.
[00:36:57] So then I'm like these originally as a way what these
[00:36:59] are the quietest kids ever as soon as she walks outside
[00:37:02] to retrieve set open air basket of muffins.
[00:37:04] Then we hear audio of kids screaming guys.
[00:37:10] Why are we doing that?
[00:37:12] The kids had to be on set.
[00:37:14] Like what was it?
[00:37:15] Were we that close on budget that these kids had to be there
[00:37:18] and they couldn't get a line or two like to say they were
[00:37:21] in a movie.
[00:37:22] It just seemed weird.
[00:37:23] Kids are extra.
[00:37:24] Kids are extra.
[00:37:25] They're extra.
[00:37:26] They're extra.
[00:37:27] We did everybody congratulations.
[00:37:29] The good news is not the last movie of the week because
[00:37:31] we got a Hannah Swinson Apple movie to talk about.
[00:37:35] Which coincidentally this movie also talked about
[00:37:38] apples big week for apples big week for apples.
[00:37:40] Is it a five?
[00:37:41] Is it are we in fall harvest already?
[00:37:43] No.
[00:37:44] Are we double-decker the week?
[00:37:45] I guess we could.
[00:37:46] Are we ready for it?
[00:37:47] Let's find out.
[00:37:48] It's time for the double-decker of the week.
[00:37:50] Is where we do the deep dive into the life of one of
[00:37:54] our double-deckers and signed up at brandwildgenplus.com
[00:37:57] at the double-decker tier or higher.
[00:37:59] Dan, who do we have today?
[00:38:01] We have Colleen Sullivan.
[00:38:03] Wow.
[00:38:04] Colleen Sullivan.
[00:38:05] Great.
[00:38:06] Wow.
[00:38:07] That's exciting.
[00:38:08] Brian you have been handed the keys to the Google Plus
[00:38:11] to try and do this deep dive.
[00:38:13] Last week couldn't have gone worse.
[00:38:14] You walked in.
[00:38:15] Try to like bring it back.
[00:38:16] You walked in today though with a bit of a smirk on
[00:38:19] your face.
[00:38:20] I have a feeling in this.
[00:38:22] Something to do with the double-decker of the week.
[00:38:26] Tell me about it.
[00:38:27] Yeah.
[00:38:28] Well, Colleen Sullivan.
[00:38:30] She has an idea for something.
[00:38:34] Amazing.
[00:38:35] She's got an idea everybody.
[00:38:37] She's got an idea and it's a really good idea.
[00:38:39] It's something that like the way she explained it to me,
[00:38:42] I was part of the focus group.
[00:38:43] You were in the focus group.
[00:38:44] Super exciting.
[00:38:45] Didn't even mention it to us.
[00:38:46] That's unbelievable.
[00:38:47] I would try to hold this back.
[00:38:48] Yeah.
[00:38:49] Huh?
[00:38:50] Focus group.
[00:38:51] No, focus group.
[00:38:52] I just didn't know that.
[00:38:53] I paid to be in focus group.
[00:38:54] Oh, you paid for that?
[00:38:55] Oh yeah.
[00:38:56] Yeah.
[00:38:57] Oh yeah.
[00:38:58] Oh yeah.
[00:38:59] I also actually got so much money.
[00:39:00] He just didn't even know the streams of revenue
[00:39:02] this guy has.
[00:39:03] I got some shares in this business actually.
[00:39:04] So let's be nice.
[00:39:05] You know if you got some little stuff hanging around,
[00:39:07] like get, you know, you don't want to give me that example.
[00:39:10] Hand to write these.
[00:39:11] You got to be quick and get some little stuff.
[00:39:13] What do you mean little stuff?
[00:39:14] I have found little stuff is the easiest stuff to put away.
[00:39:16] Just break it in a drawer.
[00:39:18] But you want to take it with you.
[00:39:19] Have it handy.
[00:39:20] You just put it in a bag.
[00:39:21] You didn't say take it with you.
[00:39:22] Yeah, you put it away into something.
[00:39:23] You don't want to hold it in your hands.
[00:39:24] You would like some coins or some goldfish.
[00:39:26] But you don't want it to get lost in the shuffle.
[00:39:28] You get a bag.
[00:39:29] So Colleen came up with this product.
[00:39:30] Get a bag.
[00:39:31] It's a take on a bag.
[00:39:33] Is it like a tiny, tiny, tiny little thing.
[00:39:36] Right?
[00:39:37] The name is important.
[00:39:38] You'll get it when you say it.
[00:39:40] You put stuff in and you take it with you.
[00:39:42] I'll get it when I say it.
[00:39:44] When Brian said it, I'll get it until I say it.
[00:39:46] No, that's fine.
[00:39:47] I'll say it.
[00:39:48] You'll get it.
[00:39:49] You're going to get it.
[00:39:50] The one thing she's a little concerned about.
[00:39:52] Little concerned that has it been long enough?
[00:39:54] Has it been long enough?
[00:39:56] Let's find out.
[00:39:57] The name of her product, smallpox.
[00:40:00] Ooh.
[00:40:01] Ooh.
[00:40:03] Just like small little pockets.
[00:40:05] I can see you're struggling with getting it.
[00:40:07] Go ahead and say it.
[00:40:08] Smallpox.
[00:40:09] I got it.
[00:40:10] I got it.
[00:40:11] It took a second.
[00:40:12] So little.
[00:40:13] What is it?
[00:40:14] So Colleen decided.
[00:40:15] Yeah.
[00:40:16] In order to store.
[00:40:17] A long time ago she had this idea.
[00:40:20] She's going to name it after a disease?
[00:40:23] No.
[00:40:24] This was probably before the disease came out that she thought of this idea.
[00:40:27] You know what?
[00:40:28] She had another idea.
[00:40:29] Yeah.
[00:40:30] It was where two people could share the cost of a rental at Blockbuster.
[00:40:33] It was called COVID.
[00:40:34] That doesn't sound as cool.
[00:40:36] I can't wait until she comes out with those quarter.
[00:40:39] Too soon?
[00:40:40] Should we wait until you're 3,000 for that one?
[00:40:42] The timing is important.
[00:40:43] I can't wait until she comes up with the quarter-sized salt teens called quarantine.
[00:40:47] It's going to be amazing.
[00:40:49] Colleen, write that down.
[00:40:50] It's going to be unbelievable.
[00:40:51] So like I said, the focus group is working but I feel like it's...
[00:40:54] She came up with a beer called Beans.
[00:40:56] ...is it working?
[00:40:57] It's throwing in.
[00:40:58] So they're small pocket?
[00:40:59] Small pockets.
[00:41:00] Yeah.
[00:41:01] And the problem...
[00:41:02] That detach from your purse?
[00:41:03] Any of them are not available.
[00:41:04] Yeah, you could Velcro.
[00:41:05] You could sew them.
[00:41:06] You do whatever.
[00:41:07] Put them all over their pockets.
[00:41:08] So it doesn't come pre-done for you?
[00:41:09] No.
[00:41:10] You put them on wherever you want them.
[00:41:11] Colleen, it sounds like the worst idea I've ever heard.
[00:41:13] What's the focus group saying so far?
[00:41:15] They like it.
[00:41:16] It's a little split down the middle.
[00:41:17] Where were you on it?
[00:41:18] The heavy hitters.
[00:41:19] What can you say that?
[00:41:20] Since I...
[00:41:21] Like I mentioned, I have a little stake in this.
[00:41:23] I'm all in on this small pocket.
[00:41:25] Unfortunately...
[00:41:26] Ryan is all in on small pockets.
[00:41:28] Taking the pain out of it and so are all of us.
[00:41:30] The rapture is coming every time anything shakes.
[00:41:33] And Brian is all in on small pockets.
[00:41:35] You heard it here before.
[00:41:36] As you should be too.
