[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Brandon and I love Lifetime Christmas movies. Hi, I'm Patrick Serrano and I'm a Lifetime Movie Expert. I'm Dan and I despise Lifetime Christmas movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark gets his podcast. Friends host his podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Did we catch you off guard there, Patrick?
[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I don't know. Did I lag?
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yo, I just looked like you were like, oh yeah, it's my turn there.
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know, I am always surprised by myself.
[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_04]: You know what I love about this time of year is I love LifetimeOnCork.com because you're doing the Lord's work over there. You're covering all the Hallmarks, all the Lifetime and then also all the Ups. Are you doing all the Up TVs?
[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a sprinkling. Like if I feel like I want to do one, I've done a couple Ups. I've done a couple BETs, pluses.
[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_03]: We can't even get our employment page and address right on our website.
[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, that's right.
[00:01:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Patrick's got reviews from all of those synopses.
[00:01:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Give us the quick rundown on a bluegrass Christmas.
[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_01]: A bluegrass Christmas to this girl.
[00:01:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Her grandpa is like a bluegrass player.
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: She has to put on, there's a horse stables and one of the horses, Hot Chocolate, gets sold.
[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_04]: The horse's name is Hot Chocolate?
[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but it's a boy. It's not a girl, as you would have thought.
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, then they put on a concert and she ends up singing a lot and her grandpa comes on and saves the town.
[00:01:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Can we do this instead?
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Festival of Trees, go!
[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_03]: He said there is a horse stables.
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Festival of Trees, there's obviously a festival that has trees and this lady has, it's a competition, like a tree decorating, not like a tree Christmas tree.
[00:02:17] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a really sassy gay guy in it who outsasses me by a thousand percent.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's the gayest assistant and I just thought he was the best.
[00:02:26] [SPEAKER_03]: You should be offended by Brand's reaction, correct?
[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[00:02:30] [SPEAKER_03]: You said there's a sassy gay guy that outsasses me by a thousand percent.
[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And Brand said, wow, like you're the sassiest gay guy he's ever seen by a country mile.
[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't say that.
[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how you said it, though.
[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm pretty sure I might be the sassiest gay person that Brand knows.
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, there are more sassy out there.
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_04]: As somebody who, yeah, I think that's for the fair.
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_04]: As somebody who grew up in a very sheltered, conservative Christian little bubble, I think Patrick is the sassiest gay person I know.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like Alonzo and me.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's like, you know, Alonzo's more surly and I'm more sassy.
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Surly.
[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Surly Alonzo Doral.
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And I love you both so much.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, man.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I love you both so much.
[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And then anything else?
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Despite what I say about you out there, I love you so much.
[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_04]: There is a horse table.
[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_04]: There is a horse table.
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Festival of Lights.
[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Anything else aside from the Festival of the Lights in that movie that's worth?
[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Festival of Lights with Antonio, right?
[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's Christmas under the lights.
[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I was just going back to Festival of Lights real quick before I moved on.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: You said there was a Christmas tree decorating, not a Christmas tree, but a Christmas tree at some point.
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you mean the great UpTV movie?
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That we were talking about.
[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I'm done recapping that one.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to read the rest on LifetimeAccord.com.
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_04]: That's good sell there.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_04]: How has the Lifetime crop been overall this year?
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Obviously, we're doing a few of them with you on the show, but we can't do them all.
[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_04]: How has it been so far?
[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Dreadful.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Awful.
[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Terrible.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Is the Chiefs one the best one?
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: So far.
[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not the Chiefs one.
[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They're not the Chiefs in that one.
[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I can see how you got it.
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: The Taylor Swift one is the best one.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: The Taylor Swift one, of course.
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: By a mile.
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_01]: They crushed it.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's freaking go.
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Even Tia Mowry was like, Jan, this is boring.
[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So much talking.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So much talking about things happening in these Lifetime movies.
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_04]: No action.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's been bad, is what we're trying to say.
[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Real bad.
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Hasn't been great.
[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm holding out for Carpenter Christmas, the horny one.
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a glimmer of hope I have.
[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Is that what they're saying on the commercials?
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm supposed to remind people.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the horny one.
[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Make sure you tune in to Carpenter Christmas, the horny one.
[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Because Carpenter Christmas, you know, Jesus was a carpenter.
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_03]: You could get the wrong idea in a hurry there.
[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: You could get the wrong idea.
[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's the horny one.
[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: True.
[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's what's nice.
[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a little bit of Jesus, a little bit of the devil.
[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a new game we're playing called Horny or Holy.
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: No?
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a new game we're playing.
[00:05:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It's really fun.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to take off.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll play it at Bramble Fest.
[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Horny or Holy.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll be great.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Interesting.
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk Make or Bake Christmas.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You would know.
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You'd hear it on air.
[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You'd hear the tension.
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_04]: You'd hear the tension.
[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Great.

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.
[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me see if that doesn't happen.
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So let's jump in.
[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's jump in.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Has that ever made it?
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_03]: This is hard.
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: In mere seconds.
[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Has this ever ruined a friendship group for you or like a dinner or anything?
[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_03]: We're like within seconds.
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: All the time.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: All the time.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't go anywhere.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't go anywhere.
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I just get enemies.
[00:09:30] [SPEAKER_01]: All of a sudden, the bar back is like pissed at me for something.
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And I have no idea what I did.
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's usually you.
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: You're becoming the foe.
[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: You're not assigning the foe.
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You're not assigning foe.
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Usually I'm not the foe.
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_01]: You're so nice.
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't imagine.
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have mean feelings.
[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But people think I have a mean streak.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't imagine.
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't believe that to be true.
[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I refuse to believe it.
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Man.
[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Learning so much today.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: We're learning a lot.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Not about this movie though.
[00:10:01] [SPEAKER_04]: But we maybe should start.
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, you're right.
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_04]: The movie.
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's talk about it.
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Dan, you didn't see this one.
[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I tell you the worst thing that Patrick has told us about the queer community?
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the fact that he said lesbians never break up in an episode of this.
[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, lesbians, they find each other and then they just stay together.
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And every time I hear about a lesbian couple breaking up, I'm always like, that's not what Patrick
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_03]: told me.
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry.
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't worry.
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_04]: They'll get back together.
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_04]: They'll get back together.
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_04]: They can break up, but it's never going to last.
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't stay mad at each other.
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Hands are tied.
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to tell you you're a liar, Patrick.
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Go ahead.
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Great.
[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, if anything, I'm a teller of tall tales.
[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Teller of tall tales.
[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair.
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So we start off.
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We have Miss Vivica A.
[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Fox.
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_01]: She starts doing like a Christmas commercial for her business.
[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_01]: She's playing Leslie Bake.
[00:10:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Leslie Bake bakes cookies and other marks.
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Her last name is Bake without the R?
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Believe it or not, not the most on the nose name that you're going to hear in this movie.
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Her name should be.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot of bakers.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Like last name.
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Her name is Leslie Bake.
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Leslie Bake.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Leslie Bake.
[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_03]: The name we made up here on Deck the Hallmark.
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_04]: But who knows if it's her real name?
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Because it's also her whole like brand.
[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Identity.
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_04]: You know?
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: She's a Martha Stewart-esque type of entrepreneur.
[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like Martha Stewart's name was Martha Home Decor.
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Martha Home Decor.
[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Martha Home Decor.
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And they cut the commercial.
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: They're like, cut, cut.
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Because she takes it by the cookie and she's smiling.
[00:11:41] [SPEAKER_01]: She does not like the cookies.
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: She just bit it.
[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, this is not one of my cookies.
[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you see like a shot of like all the assistants being like, oh, no, she's bad.
[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, yes.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be like mean boss.
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: What's crazy about this.
[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: A Christmas time.
[00:11:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Is she's like, why are my competitors cookies in the commercial?
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And I got to be honest, she's not a very nice boss, but she's right about this.
[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_04]: If you have a brand, that'd be like us.
[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't really have any competitors.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Not really?
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_04]: We took down the bubbly sesh and that's the one that matters.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, of course.
[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_04]: But once the bubbly sesh was when they were still around, it'd be like us.
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_04]: If we had a couple of episodes like one day just accidentally uploading an episode of bubbly sesh on our feed, we'd be like, that'd be actually really funny.
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: An old one.
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But write that down.
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll be funny.
[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Somebody write that down.
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_03]: April Fool's joke.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_04]: But if it's her commercial for her stuff, it's got to be her stuff, right?
[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, definitely.
[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Definitely.
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I like the idea of finding old bubbly sesh and pulling clips and acting like they did a new one together.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Take some work.
[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's good.
[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel like the bit really would pay off.
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Got to scour.
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sure Jax has all the transcripts somewhere.
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, for sure.
[00:13:06] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll be easy.
[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_04]: It'll be easy.
[00:13:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, she's mad and she's bad boss.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_04]: She's angry.
[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_04]: She's bad boss, of course.
[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what they're trying to establish.
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But she's right about us.
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So we're so excited because we have Miss Vivica Fox being a bad boss.
[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, where is my assistant, Emma?
[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Emma runs in and Emma is our protagonist.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_01]: For now.
[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_01]: For now.
[00:13:28] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what happens.
[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_01]: You say that for all the movies.
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_01]: There is a barn of horses.
[00:13:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Or a stables.
[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_03]: There is a horse stables.
[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I believe it's our foot.
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, we have to take this company down.
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And Emma's like, oh, you want to acquire the company or do a bakery?
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Run a bakery?
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, no, I don't want to run a bakery.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want all their cookies and recipes.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to send you in undercover to go check it out.
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Because it's like she was so offended that somebody made the mistake of putting
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_04]: not her cookies on the table that I guess this is like, I'm going to get them.
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I guess if we're going to air this and what if someone figures it out?
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, those aren't her cookies.
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, then she could be like, well, look at you now, fool.
[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_04]: They are because I bought them.
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I guess that was her whole, the motivation behind it.
[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, if she steals every cookie recipe, then she'll be the only cookie person in town.
[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I got to be honest.
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I know we're real early here.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Like early, early.
[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_03]: This sounds awful.
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, just wait.
[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:14:44] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the first scene.
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we got it.
[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We have so much more.
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We actually don't.
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: We actually really don't.
[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: My notes are so minimal on this.
[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_03]: We got maybe five minutes left.
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, wow.
[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_03]: She's a bad boss.
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Cookies aren't hers.
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: We got it.
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So Emma does some research.
[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: She watches a YouTube video of some guy named Butterfingers who makes cookies with butter,
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: which is revolutionary.
[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_01]: With real butter.
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Because she doesn't know how to actually bake.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_04]: She's an assistant.
[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_04]: She doesn't actually bake.
[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Her last name is Bake.
[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Not her.
[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Emily's.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Leslie.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_04]: No.
[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Leslie Bake.
[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_04]: She's not related.
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Emily doesn't bake.
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: It's her name.
[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, that's exactly right.
[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Emily D. Bake.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Never baked before.
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Yep.
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And so she, if she's going to go undercover at a bakery, a mom and pop, she's going to
[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_04]: have to do some baking.
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to have to prove herself.
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_04]: So she's going to learn through the Butterfinger guy.
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger.
[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was expecting that Butterfinger thing to come back.
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't.
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't.
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's Cory Nimick.
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a Canadian actor.
[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So he's notable.
[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Can I pause really quickly?
[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Because this is the tutorial.
[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm about to sleep.
[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And then we'll take a break and then we'll do something else.
[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Have you ever seen the Santa Con?
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_04]: The Santa Con is...
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_04]: No, the movie.
[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_04]: A Lifetime movie.
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's 2014 with Melissa Joan Hart and Steve Urkel.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Jaleel White?
[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Have you seen this movie?
[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably, yeah.
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably.
[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_04]: So I lead...
[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like you wouldn't forget it.
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I lead the way that the poster led me to believe, which is going to be these two.
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I led the way.
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I led with...
[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Melissa Joan Hart and Jaleel White.
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That was the way that I was led to believe this movie was going to be about.
[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_04]: They are in this movie so little.
[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Instead, it's the big brother from Seventh Heaven.
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And I have to be honest.
[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_04]: I turned this movie on late Saturday night with the intention of...
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to give this five minutes just so I can see Melissa Joan Hart and Steve Urkel together
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_04]: and I'm going to fall asleep.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Watch the whole movie.
[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.
[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_03]: You live such a cool life, man.
[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Daggummit if it didn't end up making me...
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I liked it more than I had any right to like this movie.
[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_04]: It is a wild time and I would recommend it.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I would recommend giving it a watch.
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a fun time.
[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_04]: That's all I'm trying to say.
[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_03]: You guys are locked in on this make and bake.
[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, let's take a quick break.
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_04]: We've gotten...
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Ever After.
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Ever After with Jaleel White and Melissa Joan Hart.
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, really?
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_04]: That's another one.
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_04]: So they've been in it before.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe this one they actually...
[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Do they actually...
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_04]: The Santa Con and Ever After.
[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that's it.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_04]: How about that?
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_04]: How about that?
[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's do this.
[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's take a quick break.
[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll come back and we'll actually talk about the movie.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Should we do that?
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Here on Deck the Home.
[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll try.
[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll try.
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We're trying, folks.
[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Butterfinger.
[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We have an update, Bran.
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Ever After is Jaleel White's podcast.
[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Which he's had for years.
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?
[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Including an episode in 2021 with Melissa Joan Hart.
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_03]: How about that?
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Am I going to listen to some Jaleel White podcasts?
[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_03]: You bet I am.
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I would like to watch...
[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I was so mad when I realized that it wasn't what I was promised with the poster of the movie.
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Sabrina and Urkel?
[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a crazy movie.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyway, let's...
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So she is going to get a job at The Competitor.
[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to go in.
[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_04]: She's going to be a seasonal employee of this bakery, which is led by the...
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_04]: What's the last name of this family?
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: They are called the...
[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar...
[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, gosh.
[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: What?
[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar...
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar...
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Bakers?
[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Bakers.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Bakers.
[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Bakers.
[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Sugar Bakers.
[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Are you serious?
[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I think so.
[00:18:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Leslie Bake and the Sugar Baker family?
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Someone.
[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Get out of here.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Hands are tied.
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So Emma pulls up to the cookie factory, and there's a guy dancing in his car, and she's
[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_01]: like, this guy is crazy, but he's really dancing.
[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_01]: And his name's Dave.
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: He's the son and heir of cookie whatever business.
[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what the business is called.
[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's basically Jack K. Harry's son in the movie, right?
[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So Jack K. Harry, she comes down and she's interviewing Emma.
[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, you know what?
[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a good feeling about you.
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You seem nice.
[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't really need to see you bake.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't need to, like, this resume, like, forget about it, references, like, I'll call
[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: him later.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: You just seem so nice.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to just hire you on the spot.
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what she does.
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm sure it's going to be fine.
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: She's going to...
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Seems like nothing could go wrong.
[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_04]: No big deal.
[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And the whole point here is to kind of get, like, recon on how this company's doing.
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Could we make them an offer?
[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Could we buy them out?
[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_04]: What would it look like for me to just get the sugar?
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, oh, the interview does consist of one question I forgot.
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Very important.
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you a liar?
[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Liar.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's a good one to ask.
[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: We didn't ask that to Aaron Shea in the interview process.
[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_03]: We never want to be like, are you a liar?
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_03]: We all know the truth.
[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_04]: We all know the truth now.
[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_04]: We've been here long enough.
[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Because a liar would 100% tell the truth there.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Be like, you know what?
[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm a liar.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Please give me this job.
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like if you meet a cop, you ask them they're a cop, they have to say they're a cop,
[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: right?
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: But they don't, right?
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that true?
[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not true.
[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_01]: They have.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not true, but it's a rumor that I heard.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And they say it in the movies.
[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, this bakery has been around for a while, the Sugar Baker Bakery.
[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And they have these employees that have been around forever.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And they're like a staple of this bakery, Sally Maggie Patty.
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Sally Maggie Patty.
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Sally Maggie Patty.
[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Those are three individuals.
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Three individuals.
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Great.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Great.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And they all are so important to this movie.
[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I can tell.
[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So important to this movie.
[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But you can't forget about Clark.
[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01]: The guy who works there.
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Clark.
[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Saggy Maggie Patty.
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: And Clark.
[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Sally Maggie Patty.
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Clark.
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Clark is a taller John Krasinski lookalike.
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: He does look a little bit like John Krasinski.
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah?
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.
[00:21:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Check it off.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_02]: We did it.
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: I would say, and Dave, Dave.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you something in your throat?
[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Dave.
[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Dave.
[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe if I say Dave over.
[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: I would say Dave.
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Some people clear their throats.
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I just try to talk through it.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I say the same thing over and over again.
[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Gary?
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Gary?
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Gary?
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Gary's Christmas?
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Dave is the son of the Sugar Baker.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's immediately suspicious of her.
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, what is your deal?
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_02]: But my problem with Dave is he's suspicious of her.
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04]: But, like, he thinks that she knows too much to be a temp.
[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_04]: But doesn't really know what to do with that.
[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And so he's just kind of like, what's your deal as a temp?
[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I was very, I don't know.
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_04]: He couldn't figure out what he wanted to be suspicious of.
[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_04]: But he's suspicious.
[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, of course.
[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, he should be suspicious because she is acting strange.
[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't know how to bake.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't know how to do anything.
[00:22:52] [SPEAKER_01]: She, like, burns the cookies.
[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_01]: She puts salt in a recipe for one of them.
[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll get to that.
[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It's actually a huge plot point.
[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a win for her when she does the salt.
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, my God.
[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: But, Dan, I want you to envision this because the movie, it gets a little boring.
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm going to spice it up a little bit.
[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And I want you to envision.
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Get out of town.
[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The movie gets a little boring?
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: The Bakes and the Sugarbakers and Maggie Sally Magpie?
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever her name is?
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_01]: And Clark.
[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And Clark, don't worry.
[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Clark, shout out.
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to spice it up.
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to spice it up a little bit with imagination.
[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So imagine this happens, okay?
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Emma, our protagonist.
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Or we think so, man.
[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_01]: In a vat of cookie dough, okay?
[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh.
[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Chocolate chip cookie dough.
[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And she drowns, like, quicksand in the cookie dough.
[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And she dies.
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: She dies.
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And she has to be replaced.
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She has to be replaced.
[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And Miss Vivica A. Fox comes.
[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And now she's pretending to be Emma, pretending to be an assistant.
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Got it?
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Does that happen?
[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_01]: No.
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: But I want you, for the rest of the movie, to picture Miss Vivica A. Fox as Emma, pretending
[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: to be, yeah.
[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Knowing that Emma died in a vat of cookie dough.
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Which, what a way to go.
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, I saw, I know we have time for this.
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I know we do.
[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_03]: At Cherrydale, at the movies, and I was at a 10 a.m. Moana, so I wasn't going to get
[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_03]: any of these.
[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_03]: They had, you know the cookie dough bites they sell?
[00:24:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they're trash.
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, unless you put them in the fridge.
[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_04]: But you have to do that ahead of time.
[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, or sometimes they have them.
[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Sometimes they have them.
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_03]: They currently have chocolate peppermint, or chocolate mint cookie dough balls, just for
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_03]: the holidays.
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's interesting.
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And they had them cold.
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And I've been thinking about them ever since.
[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And he said cookie dough.
[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's what I went to.
[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_03]: But I got to get back to the movies.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Here we are now.
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_03]: There's something we can do.
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: There's something we can do.
[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_03]: What's happening?
[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?
[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Chocolate mint?
[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Mint chocolate cookie dough balls?
[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_01]: They are chocolate peppermint brownie batter.
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.
[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I like brownie batter, but cookie dough is where it's at.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Cookie dough always.
[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Cookie dough is the best.
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Just by the spoonful.
[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.
[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Give it to me.
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Totally.
[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: So now that Miss Vivica A. Fox is playing Emma in my made up part of the movie, she starts
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_01]: to have moral quandaries about stealing all the recipes.
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, I don't know.
[00:25:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Everyone out in this bakery is so nice.
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: And there's a guy who stops by, and he talks to Meredith Thomas.
[00:25:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, hey, this land is really valuable, and you should sell the bakery.
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're like, we would never sell the bakery.
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, no, I don't want the bakery.
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want the land the bakery's on.
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know he sounds like a bad guy.
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_04]: He's actually a really good guy in this movie.
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, he ends up, like, you're like, oh, this guy's going to pull out the rug from underneath.
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_04]: He is a great guy.
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Great guy.
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: And he just has the hots for Maggie whatever, whoever.
[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Meredith Thomas.
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Meredith Thomas.
[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Just has the hots for Meredith Thomas.
[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_04]: So.
[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_04]: He does.
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Who wouldn't?
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: She doesn't age.
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_04]: One other thing this movie does.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I don't know.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, how little they tried with this movie is how hard they tried with karaoke.
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_04]: They wrote original Christmas songs to sing karaoke to.
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And they play all of it.
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_04]: In its entirety.
[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_04]: And they have them sing live.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And now I know why they don't typically do that.
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_04]: For movies.
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Because.
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_03]: What a time to try it here at Make It Break Christmas.
[00:26:41] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a tough slog.
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_04]: And it happened twice.
[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_04]: It happened twice.
[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: But the song wasn't bad.
[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: The song's not bad, but it's completely unnecessary and a waste of talents.
[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It is.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_04]: But it happens.
[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_04]: They do go to karaoke.
[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_04]: And this is when, you know, she already like is kind of like beginning to like the people that she's working with.
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course.
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_04]: She's starting to like Dave in a whole different way than the rest of the, you know, Maggie, Sally, Raphael.
[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And so they kind of start having a little bit of a thing going on.
[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And at some point, I don't know if we're here yet, but she does go over for dinner to the Sugar Baker family.
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Do we want to talk about that?
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_04]: She does.
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, because in my notes, I skip a lot of things like this dinner and like everything.
[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, guys, the Golden Globes just got announced.
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I think we should cover that instead.
[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We should.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_01]: She goes over to.
[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Is Cynthia Erivo supporting or lead?
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't know.
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't pulled it up, but I'm going to.
[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But we'll get back to it.
[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_01]: So talk about the dinner and I'll look up the Golden Globes.
[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_04]: So she goes over to the Sugar Baker family for dinner.
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's great.
[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: They're having a great time.
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, I don't sell it.
[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I've never done Christmas before.
[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, well, this is crazy.
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Introduces her to chestnuts.
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And that's a moment.
[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And then they find them.
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: They find themselves under the mistletoe.
[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And this scene is so funny to me because he's like, oh, mom's mom's at it again.
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, well, then we better not disappoint mom.
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_04]: And they go to kiss.
[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And Jack A walks in while this is happening, watches until right before they kiss.
[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_04]: So close to lips locking and goes, what's going on in here?
[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_04]: And I loved it.
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a great moment.
[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It was a great moment.
[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Jack A has one volume, too.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Jack A apparently put up mistletoe in her house just so that she could interrupt a kiss.
[00:29:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And I love that.
[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: That's great.
[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And we did find out Cynthia Erivo is lead.
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go.
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Ariana Grande is supporting.
[00:29:08] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly what I did.
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Which, I got to be honest, based upon the amount of screen time in that movie, you could have fooled me.
[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's my hot take.
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It is called Wicca.
[00:29:19] [SPEAKER_01]: They are evenly spread, yeah, in that movie.
[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_03]: How is one supporting in one lead?
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Because one's the wicked.
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Better chance of winning.
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, Cynthia Erivo is way better in it.
[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But the fact that one of them is supporting one of them's lead is crazy.
[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: One of them's wicked.
[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_04]: But not in Wicked.
[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_04]: But it's, okay.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Got it.
[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Wicked's got to be lead in Wicked.
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_04]: That'd be like me not being the lead in the podcast where it's Brandon and Friends.
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And Friends.
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Brandon and Friends.
[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Brandon and Friends.
[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I lead.
[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Brandon and Friends.
[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_03]: How dare you?
[00:29:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll take the lead.
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be Dan and Friends when we record it.
[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a Cisco and Ebert situation.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_04]: While this is happening, she keeps having to call to a Fox who's just kind of like, what's happening?
[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_04]: What's happening?
[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, if they don't want to sell, just take it, basically.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Cool.
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll take the recipes.
[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll make them ourselves.
[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_04]: We won't give them any credit.
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And we'll put them out of business.
[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, if this makes you feel uncomfortable, how about I give you a promotion?
[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's going to promote her to her executive fun time or whatever it is.
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Executive fun time.
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:30:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Got it.
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She has to deceive them to get the promotion.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But it's weird because Miss Vivica A. Fox is just talking to herself in a mirror the whole scene.
[00:30:35] Yep.
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_04]: She sure is.
[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_04]: That's pretty wild.
[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I think she talks to herself in the mirror this entire movie.
[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, she's playing Emma, playing Emma.
[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Playing Emma, playing Emma.
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course.
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But actually, Emma does find the recipes.
[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She finds a little book.
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_04]: It's in a book called Recipes.
[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_04]: It just says Recipes.
[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It just says Recipes.
[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_03]: How'd she crack that case?
[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_01]: She starts to have second guessing.
[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And she just comes out with it.
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: She just tells Dave.
[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, you know what?
[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been lying to you.
[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01]: And, yeah.
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been stealing recipes.
[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_04]: This is what I love this scene so much, though, because to prove that she's a good person,
[00:31:22] [SPEAKER_04]: she throws down a copy of the recipes that she printed out and said, see, I didn't give these to my boss.
[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Reminder, she took the picture with her phone.
[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Had full intention.
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I got copies.
[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I got them.
[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They're still there.
[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_03]: At this moment, I've yet to do anything.
[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_04]: But I put them into a document and printed them out to show you that I am not going to give them to my boss.
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_04]: A wonderful moment.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Wonderful.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Wonderful.
[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And she, he, of course, is upset.
[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, what?
[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_01]: We were going to be doing the business.
[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And she has to go to Miss Vivica Fox and tell her, like, okay, I'm not going to do this thing anymore.
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_01]: And Miss Vivica Fox is like, you are fired.
[00:32:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You're fired.
[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, well, no, I quit.
[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And I quit when I walked in the door.
[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And then, like, it, like, pings on a text or something.
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_04]: She gets an email.
[00:32:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Vivica Fox says she opens it up and it's just like her resignation email.
[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So I guess, I don't know, she put, like, a delay on the email to work right at that moment.
[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_04]: This is just going to hit perfect.
[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_04]: But it was great.
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Right before I walked through this door, I resigned.
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Three, two, one.
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Boom.
[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a lag.
[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, the Wi-Fi is slow.
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's wonderful.
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So it hit perfect.
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: And Miss Vivica Fox is kind of like, good on you.
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You got me there.
[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Which I thought was pretty funny.
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Emma goes to Jack and Harry.
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And Jack and Harry's like, I'm sad to hear that you.
[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, are a liar when I asked you about not being a liar.
[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And it sucks because you, I made these cookies and I named them after you.
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: They're the Emma cookies.
[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_01]: They're salted caramel cookies.
[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Because she made a mistake.
[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: She made salted.
[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_01]: She put salt instead of sugar in a cookie.
[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Turns out that worked out for her.
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.
[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_04]: So she put way too much salt in the cookies.
[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And so our guy, who I don't remember his name, Dave, added caramel to the cookies after the fact.
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And it worked out.
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Salted caramel cookies are good because you put salt in instead of sugar.
[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Not because you drizzle salt, rock salt on top of it.
[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.
[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.
[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Kosher salt on top.
[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_04]: These cookies were so good that they were going to put them in their store as Emma's cookies.
[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Emma's salted caramel cookies.
[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Even after it came out that she's a liar.
[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the type of character of the sugar baker family.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_04]: That's why I asked.
[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Credit when credit is due.
[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And of all the things in this movie that sound like they suck, the fact that they're passing off the fact that she replaced sugar with salt and the people love the cookie is the thing that's angry me the most.
[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot.
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_03]: They love it.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a lot to it.
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_03]: How?
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't?
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a lot of salt, man.
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_04]: We get the Jack K. invites her to the Christmas party that the company is throwing.
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, I don't know if I should come.
[00:34:32] [SPEAKER_04]: But she does anyway.
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And she makes up with Dave.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They do.
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And they kiss.
[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And then they sing karaoke again.
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Same song.
[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything Can Happen at Christmas.
[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything Can Happen at Christmas.
[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the title of the song.
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: And it goes like this.
[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything can happen at Christmas.
[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_03]: The fact that you guys were not, neither of you sounded like you were on a delay was wild.
[00:34:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_03]: We worked together on that one.
[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_03]: We're pretty good.
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Here's another part of it.
[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Ready?
[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_04]: You take the lead and I'll follow.
[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_04]: This is Christmas and it's happening.
[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_04]: So we're pretty good.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Pretty great.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_04]: We're writing an album that's going to come out next year.
[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_04]: We need a whole year.
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to be really good.
[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Fast forward some time.
[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if it's a year or whatever.
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And she is still working at the bakery, at the sugar baker.
[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_04]: She gets brought on to the sugar baker family because they need somebody like her with her business knowledge to really take them to the next step.
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And who's a customer who shows up?
[00:35:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's right.
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Miss Vivi Gay Fox.
[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And she puts on her sunglasses and she says, Merry Christmas, darlings.
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And then that's the end of the movie.
[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_04]: And she says, Looks like I walked into the wrong bakery or something like that.
[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I wish.
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_04]: That would have been great.
[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I wish.
[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_01]: What do we do now, Patrick?
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: What do we do now?
[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, of course it's time for Pour It Up.
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I put a cork in it.
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll start with Dan since you were using your imagination.
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't forget.
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying my best.
[00:36:08] [SPEAKER_04]: So she's in the cookie batter.
[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_04]: She's dead in the cookie batter.
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I will put up that movie.
[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I will put a cork in the one that we got, which sounds like it was made over the course of 36 hours for a $6 budget and could have easily been an email.
[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_03]: This movie sounds terrible.
[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Please tell me that you fooled me like you did with the Taylor Swift movie.
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's actually really good.
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_03]: But it sounds awful.
[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Put a cork right on it.
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I need to pull that clip of her saying, Let's freaking go.
[00:36:41] [SPEAKER_04]: It needs to be the new I'm Lonely.
[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm lonely.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Because I think I would like to play that every so often.
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's great.
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Brad, what are you thinking?
[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_04]: So this movie is real, real bad.
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And it is a movie that I am 100% sure that it was written by AI.
[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think that there is a reasonable explanation for anything else.
[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_04]: There is a conversation that happens in this movie that literally word for word takes place twice.
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And it is insane.
[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_04]: It is bad.
[00:37:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I did find myself towards the end of this movie being like, It's kind of a good time.
[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Of course.
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I kind of had a little bit of fun with this movie.
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Is it good?
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_04]: No, it's not.
[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It is the worst quality movie I've seen.
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_04]: On any network.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_04]: On any network.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the worst I've seen.
[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_04]: But I did enjoy myself, especially towards the end.
[00:37:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Once I got over it, got over what was happening, stopped being offended.
[00:37:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Some of the cuts make no sense.
[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_04]: This movie is just wild.
[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_04]: It may have been edited by AI.
[00:37:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[00:37:55] [SPEAKER_04]: But it does seem like a movie that was made like, Hey, I've heard about these movies before.
[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Let me try my hand at it.
[00:38:06] [SPEAKER_04]: And they never actually watched one.
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_04]: It was not good.
[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I had a great time.
[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_04]: But I will have to put a cork in it.
[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I think you're right.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Did I hate that License to Wed knockoff movie more than this?
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_03]: But higher quality.
[00:38:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_01]: So, but this was like way worse quality than that.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So it didn't make me angry.
[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_01]: It just was like not good in any shape or form.
[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, probably one of the worst I've seen this year.
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I was so sad.
[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, Oh, we're covering this movie.
[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no.
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_01]: What are we going to do?
[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: What are we going to talk about?
[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_01]: It could be summed up in like one sentence, like the whole movie.
[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So, yeah.
[00:38:50] [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I wish better things for Miss Vivica and Jack and Harry.
[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is the hand that they were dealt this year.
[00:38:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Wow.
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So it was as bad as it sounded.
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.
[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Sheesh.
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, we did it.
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_04]: We will be back next week with the holiday junkie.
[00:39:07] [SPEAKER_04]: A big one.
[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, over on.
[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Jennifer Love Hewitt.
[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Planet junkie.
[00:39:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably the biggest movie of the year.
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.
[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_04]: As far as like, you know, public.
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, I guess the Taylor Swift movie did get a good bit of publicity, but I don't think
[00:39:24] [SPEAKER_04]: they were like fully anticipating that.
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know.
[00:39:28] [SPEAKER_01]: No, this was what they planned to be the thing.
[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_04]: So we'll be covering that.
[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you will be joining us for one more episode after Christmas because we have the
[00:39:37] [SPEAKER_04]: movies to do so.
[00:39:38] [SPEAKER_04]: So that's going to be fun as well.
[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's not the end of the road for Patrick.
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_04]: We still, we got more, more to get to.
[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_04]: And of course, live at McCork.com.
[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_04]: You can go there anytime to see the reviews on stuff like Bluegrass.
[00:39:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Bluegrass Christmas on Up.
[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_04]: We're not getting to that anytime soon.
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_04]: No, we're not.
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Patrick did.
[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And so you can check that out.
[00:39:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Patrick, anything else for the people?
[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I got a Christmas card from Ryan.
[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, that's nice.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_04]: File it out to be such DTH.
[00:40:08] [SPEAKER_04]: You can see it.
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So that made me happy today.
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_01]: There are little things.
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll be back tomorrow with another one.
[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_04]: So then maybe the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
