[00:02:09] Is so good at so many things Get ahead of it And sometimes They outthink The entire room With some of the dumbest Like their parks People sign up to volunteer To help clean up our parks And they turn up And there's nothing to do That's how clean the parks are In the city of Greenville So the city of Greenville Is three water parks Immaculate For some strange reason We decided last year To do the fireworks display At Unity Park On the 3rd To And I quote the mayor

[00:02:37] Give the first responders The night off On the 4th Which isn't true They're still gonna be Going around Cause Johnny Burned his eye off With a sparkler And there still is A fireworks show On the 4th At Floral Fields That's right Oh okay But it's different It's not the city Right So this year Because the 3rd Is a Friday And so that is the day That people take off of work The day the lore is made If you You know Cause the 4th Is a Saturday So if you're working A job that gets Holidays off You get the 3rd off This year

[00:03:07] We've We've doubled down And we've said What about the 2nd Of July For our big Fireworks extravaganza That's right That's 48 hours early Yeah What are we doing? You need to surprise The Brits Our city That's true You don't want them To see you coming Our city has 60,000 People in it Why are we acting Like this is some big Just shoot the fireworks off On the 4th of July But also It's the semi-quincentennial Yeah If any If any fireworks show Deserves the 4th

[00:03:36] This is semi-quincentennial We'll never see the Quincentennial No we won't None of us will We'll be dead Really? This is the only Quincentennial Oh man I don't want to live that long This is the only Quincentennial That we'll ever see The semi-version of it And It's the best We don't even get to I will say this Like we Why We? Why? Yep How? He has a plan He has a plan We why Here who How Sometimes why Who what when Who what when We're doing this

[00:04:06] And I completely Forgot what I was Going to say We're doing this We talked about Brian not wanting To live that long And I got off A side card Where I was like How long do you Want to live Right How long do you Want to live How long is too long Yeah I don't know Yeah Just semi-quincentennial Yeah I say semi You say semi I say semi-quincentennial You're shooting fireworks Off on the 2nd of July That's what we're doing here Is that just an us thing? Is everybody else Doing normal 4th of July For the fire Who drops on a Saturday

[00:04:35] Saturday is a perfect day To do a fireworks display It's a perfect day For a semi-quincentennial Firework show It makes perfect sense Let's bump it off To a weekday You would maybe say That fireworks By our city On the 2nd Is the preview show Of fireworks displays Hmm I like that Because I'm actually For it I get my fireworks On the 2nd And then I still What are you going To do there Brian Are you going to do Your dad does a big one On the 4th My dad does a big one Are you going to go Down to Unity Park On the 2nd of July We'll see How the day is going Yeah You don't know That's far away

Yes Zero Zero Zero Zero Zero Both of those folks look great though Yeah Heck yeah Let's do one more and take a break I love this for us This next one Oh boy Oh boy Oh we get one cream? Yes For four yeah Oh Little Christmas Market Best name of the movie? Yeah I like that

[00:09:32] Oh Little Christmas Market It's Saturday July 11th It's starring Cat Burrell And Stephen Huzzah Huzzah Huzzah Huzzah's been making some real turds lately Well If anybody can pull him out Of his funk It's Cat Barrel Cat Barrel An artist fight to save her town's Beloved Christmas Market From a developer But Did I I'm gonna start over

[00:10:02] An artist Is it a preview episode? Go for it We can cut this We'll chop it up It'll sound really serious When people hear it You're dead You're a long time I'm so dumb New Hampshire An artist's fight To save her town's Beloved Christmas Market From a developer This doesn't make any sense Who would want to get rid of A Christmas Market?

[00:10:31] Who would ever want It doesn't make sense Okay Boo Boo You got it? Boo Hear what I'm saying Okay Preview episodes are stupid So I think So I'm reading it As written An artist's fight That's one way to do it An artist's fight Artist A post A what? A post-trophy? A post-trophy

[00:10:59] An artist's fight To save her town's Beloved Christmas Market From a developer But a budding romance That doesn't make any sense I think what they're trying to say Is an artist An artist's fight An artist's Fights Right? An artist does fight An artist's fight To save her town From a Christmas market From a developer But a budding romance With the architect Tied to the deal May help Did he already make This movie

[00:11:28] With glass blowing? Yeah Maybe he wants To get out of the You know You smile Because you know I'm right You're not wrong Melt my heart This Christmas Christmas markets I'm right though about this Right? The S should be on An artist's fight To save her town's Beloved Christmas market From a developer But a budding romance With the architect Tied to the deal May help bring about Christmas That's what I'm saying An artist fights Whatever I would get To the butt In the sentence I was like That doesn't make any sense Right

[00:11:58] So he's the developer? He's the developer You would think And she's the glass blower Right No She needs a place To blow glass I don't know What her job is Her affiliation Her town Walter Gregson Was given a seal here Of some sort Arf? But a budding romance What are the odds He's in this movie? Oh that'd be so great At least 20% I hope so Dude it's the same movie Just no glass blowing Be honest But Cap Burrell Yeah that is new That is new And fresh How many Hizar Christmas market movies Are there?

[00:12:28] That's kind of crazy I think this might be a trilogy That's crazy That is crazy A conspiracy A bright guy Conspiracies afoot Oh also at the end It says may help Bring about a Christmas miracle Okay That changes things for me Is it a faith based movie? Is the miracle saving the market Or are we talking real miracles? They're a baby? Real miracles So saving the market Wouldn't be a miracle No that either happens Or it doesn't happen Wow Something else It's magic Give me a real miracle It's a hockey game

[00:12:56] Person gets cut in half And then put back together So it either happens Or it doesn't happen Magic trick Yes but It can only Magic You know exactly What I'm talking about Hey Don't be a dingle topper Okay Not on this one Wait a minute Not on this one Not this one Not this one Not Christmas in July Any other month Any other Where we reviewed Acquired and old movies We've already seen Not my semi For your listening pleasure This I like the glass blowing One more than you guys Because you don't know

[00:13:26] Anything So this Christmas I'm hoping Hopes are high This Christmas market Is beautiful And we want to be there Non-stop And we are all Anti-development That's my hope Absolutely So I'm I'm gonna give this Right down the middle But a little bit A little bit of an edge So three and a half Right down the middle But a little bit of an edge Like it's swaying A little bit Out of the middle 3.5 How are the Christmas cookies brand? Shout out Aaron For bringing up Christmas cookies Very kind

[00:13:55] I'm going five What? Maybe it's the What? Maybe it's the Christmas cookie talking Yeah Maybe it's the first movie We've got Oh little I like the title It's so stupid It's not the first one Title The first one is We've already seen This will be your first New Christmas movie of the year Yes? Your first new one of 2026 First haul Yeah I've watched Christmas movies all year But yes Of course Yeah This will be the first new one It's just gonna hit you Right in the jollies You're gonna give it Every benefit of the doubt It's so stupid 100% We're back Or maybe

[00:17:52] Brad Yeah This is going to be A fun time Number one because Watching it live Watching it live Is the best Having Marcus there Is the best And I like Just Vanessa Lange I like her a lot I liked her in the movie What was it Last year that we watched her She's like a fake cough It seemed like a I went too long No I went too long And I just had that cookie I should have slowed down I like Vanessa a lot It's going to be fun To watch Marcus

[00:18:51] And bad movies Including the one My boy Marcus is in Whom I love dearly No this is a fresh idea Fresh one Fresh power Fresh power It's acquired though I said Rehashes Old movies Or acquisitions They did not make This in house All of these movies Are one of those Three things right They're old movies Or they're acquisitions There's not a Hallmark Channel Original in the bunch No I don't think They do that anymore Yeah who does that That's stupid I'm going five I've already used My cream But if I had to

[00:19:20] I would use it Here as well So I just do want That on the record But yeah This is an easy five 100% Easiest one Probably I've ever seen Probably So yeah this puts me In a tough spot Because Marcus Rosner I consider a friend This movie sounds like It sucks I'm going to give Marcus one And I'm going to give It my cream for Bramble Fest It's a Bramble Fest Cream BF cream That's what I'm going with It's a Bramble Fest Cream And I will say this I feel pretty good About the fact
