[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Alright.

[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a double A.

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I turned you back on.

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel good.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a quick reboot.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's just a quick unplug and plug back in.

[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Sometimes you have to do that.

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Soft reset for Brian.

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Brian needs a soft reset.

[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_04]: You really locked up there, are you okay?

[00:00:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that was a real good one.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a real good one.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That was a real good one.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That was due.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That was overdue.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, it's been a while.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: For sure.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey Aaron, you still keeping tally of Christmas movie magic scores?

[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_00]: I was never keeping tally, but I still play it with every movie I watch.

[00:01:04] [SPEAKER_03]: How does it operate with the Hanukkah movie?

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you get a lot of points with the Hanukkah movie?

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Less points.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Fewer points.

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_03]: There you go.

[00:01:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Bigger challenge.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_00]: There are five blank cards in the deck.

[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_00]: You could always throw like a menorah or something on there.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_00]: That's true.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_00]: It did still have some holiday feels and tropes, but there wasn't a Christmas tree or ornaments.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_03]: The expansion pack maybe.

[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Family heirlooms.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, we had one of those.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_00]: Etc.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I still got a fair amount of cards played on par with the rest of the season,

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_00]: but it wasn't like a believe in Christmas where I made it like 70 cards.

[00:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_03]: You can still get the game if you want to.

[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_03]: TheHommer.com slash game.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_03]: We'd love for you to get it.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot of fun.

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And not just for made for TV movies, but for Christmas movies of all sorts.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Come on.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's great to play all your own.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm watching Jingle All the Way this weekend with my brother and I'm going to play this

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_03]: game with him.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Working on an expansion pack, I think.

[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I think we're going to try to work on one of those.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Expansion.

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Christmas movie magic expansion pack.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Wah wah wah.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: That's where you use it.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And I was like this.

[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, that is the whole point of that.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Brandon, we're getting close to Christmas Day.

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know that you get sad.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_04]: But how great is it going to be?

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: You have all these movies on your DVR file or DVR.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited about it.

[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_03]: You just crank it back up.

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: The amount that we already have is exciting and exhilarating.

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_03]: And whenever they air, you know, they like resaves it, you know?

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's when they do that thing.

[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I think on like Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, Hallmark plays with limited commercials.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I got them on the limit.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a good copy.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a great copy.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_04]: One button ad skip, obviously.

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_03]: You can still do the one button ad skip and then bada bing.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_03]: The one button ad skip.

[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what it said here.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not my fault.

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's in the copy.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited about that.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it is.

[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I get, you know, I got to dust them back out every once in a while.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, you got to dust them back out.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm glad we did it.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man, that was a big one.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Getting your eye.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: There's some dust in there.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: That was crazy.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Those are the October movies.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: The October movies have gotten some dust on them.

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And then it was the night.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: The date.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: It was the day before Christmas.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that the first one?

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Or is it holidays or crashers?

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Quality crash.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: What was the day was the first one holiday crashers was the second one years ago.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Twisted dates a bad title.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a bad title.

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:03:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause I don't really like, like, I feel like I need to watch those two movies again.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, I'm not get out, but I feel like you could though.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_04]: They're on the DVR.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_04]: They're on the DVR.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You're ready to go.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Dust them off.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Dust them off.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Again, it is.

[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, can I ask you guys a quick question?

[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_03]: The other day I was in the grocery store.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And I saw a couple of packs of cookies, right?

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_03]: So a couple packs, a couple packs of cookies, different, different shapes, different sizes,

[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, holiday cookies.

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_03]: So I purchased them and I went home and I opened up the first bag and I ate them all

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: really quickly.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Doctor approved.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And my tummy hurt.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I went back the next day, opened up the second bag.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Went ham there as well.

[00:04:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I was beginning to, and then I realized something.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The record.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: They had something carved into them and carved into one of the cookies was how was your weekend?

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Dan knows about something national something.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It was how was your weekend.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And I know we're deep into this week.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: What day of the week is it, right?

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a good question.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's Thursday.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's Thursday.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, big week.

[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Thursday.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's Thursday.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Thursday.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But again, I just got the cookies.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_03]: We were in New Jersey all week.

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And we talked about that ad nauseum.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I know that we did, but I bought the cookies.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So just following the rules.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Your stomach was hurt.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_04]: You had to tell us at the very least.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I had to at least tell you.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I had to at least tell you.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_04]: It was good actually.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_03]: How was your drive back?

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Brian, Aaron and I had a really fun road trip back from New Jersey to South Carolina

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_04]: and we did it.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_04]: We basically went to see some snow.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We went from New Jersey, went through a snow storm from New Jersey to the Asheville airport

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_04]: in roughly 10 hours.

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_04]: So crush that.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Obviously.

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_04]: It was pretty awesome.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_04]: And then.

[00:05:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And you guys only threatened to throw Brian out three, four times.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:05:11] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you know, there was a few.

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_04]: There was a little bit of Brian shade.

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Fair amount of time.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Go ahead, Aaron.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, Aaron.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_00]: I was gonna say, I think I volunteered to jump out of the car more than we threatened

[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_00]: to throw Brian out of it.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: It is easier.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Did he tell you about the fun prank we played?

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Where you drove for a second?

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You guys, you know, that's my go to.

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not allowed.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: So on the way up to the Asheville airport, we do it.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: We do it.

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_03]: We did this thing to Brian where we used to do it to Panda all the time.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_03]: We get back in the car and Dan will.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: He's still in the convenience store.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_04]: We move parking spots to where we can still see him, but he won't immediately see us coming

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_04]: out.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Great bit.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a fun bit.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_04]: If you know somebody really well, they're looking around like what the.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_03]: And you're saying you did that today.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_04]: You left the keys in the car.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_04]: So very rare.

[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_04]: So he's asking.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We went to.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_04]: We stopped and we went into a gas station.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_04]: The diet coke was out.

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_04]: The cold, the cold brew is out.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Everything was out.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I needed caffeine as my last caffeine stop.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_04]: So there was a sheets gas station right up the street.

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, those two guys are didn't need to get back out again.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I did.

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_04]: So when we get the sheets, I get in car running.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I leave the car running.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_04]: I leave the car running.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And that bit me because I walked out and they got me.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_04]: They got me good.

[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_04]: They got me good.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Were you nervous at all?

[00:06:25] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I walked out.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I went, what the?

[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And then I looked over and they're over there laughing.

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It was perfect.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It was very, very nicely done.

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You see, it's a good thing I asked.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_03]: For some reason, you didn't share that story on Tuesday's episode, which was weird.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: We could have, but we didn't.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_04]: We could have shared it on Tuesday.

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's why I do it.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: That's why I do it.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_04]: We ate a lot of gas station food.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_04]: And then we had the best Bojangles experience of my life.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_00]: I was going to say, you had some really good.

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You did.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Of his life.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I stopped at Bojangles for dinner and I said, I just want two Cajun filet biscuits.

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And she said, it's going to be about five to six minutes.

[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And I made it in my head.

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I made a determination.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We're making such good time.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't want to stop anywhere else.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Let's do it.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And she was like, after, after eight o'clock at night, I'm a make it to order person.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Cause I want your Bojangles experience to be great.

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what she said to me.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_04]: And oh my gosh, Bran.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_03]: You should have said, could you throw in some fries?

[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_04]: At that point I really should have.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause he's got to do it anyway.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_04]: I had been eating literally fries equivalent all day.

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Like just, just French fries or chips and Twizzlers.

[00:07:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I needed something, not that.

[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_04]: But the, the Cajun filet biscuit was a level that I could never even dream to attain again.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It was unbelievable.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Unbelievable.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_04]: So a lot of fun was had and we made it back safely.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's beautiful.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I love that.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk Hanukkah on the rocks.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Shall we?

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Originally on December 13th, 2024 on the homework channel.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Went a little something like this.

[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Tori is single much to her Bubby chagrin.

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Tori explains that she's just too busy right now.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: She's trying to make partner at the law firm.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of which she rushes out of Bubby's breakfast to make it to work.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: She's swamped and she ends up falling asleep at her desk again.

[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Am I right, Bri?

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_03]: But I, uh, but all this work may be for not because the company is going to experience

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_03]: some layoffs due to a merger and it doesn't take long for those, uh, layoffs to hit her.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_03]: She's getting the boot.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Cut to Rocky's bar.

[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_03]: We meet Sam who's always there and his grandson Jay who's never there.

[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay is on a mission.

[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_03]: He's come up to the city to convince Sam to move closer to the family.

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_03]: When, um, the regulars from the bar find this out, they're very mad.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Sam's an institution.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_03]: He's always here, but Sam is reluctant and says, I don't want to do this.

[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Even though I recently fell and be at it be in everybody's best interest, including mine,

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_03]: to be closer to family in case something like this happens again.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm always here.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't want to leave the bar.

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Tori talks to her parents.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Who wants to be a millionaire?

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Tori wants, uh, to, uh, talks to her parents, but can't quite bear the thought of telling

[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_03]: them that she was fired.

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_03]: So she doesn't do that.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_03]: She, uh, goes to visit her sister and apparently it's been a while since her nephew, uh, just

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: does not recognize his aunt at all.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how you know it's been maybe a little bit too long.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, the next day, both Tori and Jay end up at the store to pick up Hanukkah candles.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: There's only one pack left and they argue a bit about who's going to get it.

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Ultimately Jay walks out with them.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay walk.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay walking.

[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, as, uh, walking, uh, walking in winter wonderland.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Nailed it.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, Ash.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_03]: We need to unplug you.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Sorry.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I think about Christmas songs a lot.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, this is Christopher walking.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the worst.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the worst.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_04]: It's hard to do a bad walking.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's me.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's me.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Christopher walking.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It's all right.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_04]: We both have to try to do a worse Christopher walk in the day and try.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Walking in a winter wonderland.

[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_03]: It's pretty good.

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm walking in a winter wonderland.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Let me try one more time.

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm walking.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh boy.

[00:10:12] [SPEAKER_02]: In a winter wonderland.

[00:10:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm walking here.

[00:10:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, the next day.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I'm walking here as, uh, as she leaves.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Where's Chris Palaha when you need him?

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_03]: When you need him.

[00:10:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, as she leaves the store, Tori sees Jay walking, Jay walking into Rocky's.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: We're walking in a winter wonderland.

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_03]: It's for walking.

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm walking in.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, she follows the man and walks out with a bartending job.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Who hasn't?

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Sam is pumped because he takes a liking to her and calls her the granddaughter that he

[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_03]: never had.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Sam.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Once again, fricking loves Rocky's.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, it's a very special spot for him and his late wife.

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And he insists on celebrating the first night of Hanukkah inside Rocky's.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And it really takes off.

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay and Tori ended up spending more time together and started enjoying each other's

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_03]: company.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Rocky's begins to become the go-to spot for Hanukkah.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And the pair is thriving.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_03]: They love each other and they love Hanukkah.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Everything is going great except for when Tori's parents surprised her by showing up in

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: the city.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause you know, she has to tell them that she got fired in the shower.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, it's clear that the sparks are flying between Jay and Tori, but he's only there for

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: two weeks.

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_03]: So who really cares?

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay starts to realize that this place is special in the community that Sam has built.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_03]: It's wonderful.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Why wouldn't I stay?

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, he has good reasons by good reasons.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he just can't figure it out.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, ah, I don't know.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: My hands are tied.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It turns out Sam owns the bar and the entire building, but no one knows that.

[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so he wants to leave it all to Jay and wants Tori to help make that happen legally.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Then word gets out, um, and, uh, about Tori being fired.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Her parents find out her mom cries and, uh, that's tough.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: You hate to see that.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Then word gets out, uh, to everybody that Sam owns the building.

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, when someone comes in to make him an offer that he couldn't refuse, uh, Jay gets

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_03]: that's Christopher Walken.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Jay gets mad that Tori could have been a contender.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, Jay gets mad that Tori kept this from him.

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_03]: So Sam pulls him aside and has says, Hey man, you're being a knucklehead.

[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Get over it.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_03]: And he does.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Sam tells Tori that he wants, uh, to move here.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I'm sorry.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay tells Tori, Sam already lives there.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Jay tells Tori that he wants to move here and we get a triple.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_03]: A triple almost kiss moment.

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, they head downstairs to celebrate another night and share a big kiss before they light

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: the menorah.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And that my friends was Hanukkah on the rocks.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Hanukkah on the rocks.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll break this movie down here on deck.

[00:12:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The hallmark.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: You've lived in Greenville for a long time and you've had a lot of fun doing it.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_03]: How, what's your favorite part about living in Greenville?

[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I say, I love going downtown and see what's going on.

[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's always something you don't know.

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they shut down the road.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't drive down there.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You park far away.

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You walk cause you're in for an experience.

[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_03]: There's so much to do.

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Have you gone to the hotel and looked at all the Christmas trees yet?

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I have not.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a wonderful tradition that I share with my family.

[00:13:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, you tried to skate, you try to do all the things, and there is still plenty of time

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: to come to Greenville and experience all that Greenville has to offer.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Not just during the holidays, but it, but it's all year round.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's break it down.

[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_03]: The only way that we know how.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to start with a hot takers where we share exactly how we felt about this movie.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Any chance I can go first.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_03]: We do not hold back.

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, that's interesting.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Unbelievable.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Unbelievable.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It's unbelievable.

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to start with Brian.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Brian.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Brian.

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I can't go first.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_03]: No, not today.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But the last will shall be first.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_03]: You get it.

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, Hanukkah on the rocks.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian, what'd you think about it?

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this was just okay for me.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I know that the script had a lot of authenticity, which is really great.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Rena, our double decker friend here wrote a great post in our Facebook group, kind of pointing

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: out all the things that were she could relate to and that from that really struck a chord

[00:14:51] [SPEAKER_01]: with her and her experience.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have the Jewish experience.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: In my background, Rena, great information.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So it really spoke to how great the script was and how well thought out it was and the

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: details that are included.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Really great.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_01]: So I really appreciated that.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I think the big thing was like the chemistry with the leads.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it just didn't come across to me.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Mark Summers was a lot of fun on screen.

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Stacy Farber, great on screen.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody at the bar really seemed to be having a pretty good time.

[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, just, I don't know.

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Their chemistry just wasn't like the energy sort of dropped for me there.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And also his, his, the stakes for him were like non-existent.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_01]: No, he could be anywhere doing his job.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: He could come back to Chicago, Winnipeg, whatever we're calling it.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Just west of Chicago, Winnipeg.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a little.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Winner Chicago.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Suburb.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Suburb.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a suburb.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_04]: We've all done it now.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Suburb of Chicago.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Restart.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Winnipeg.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So he could do that job anywhere.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was not really concerned about.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Wonderland.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry.

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Walking here.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Wasn't concerned about him at all.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And so I wasn't, maybe the gold chain played a factor.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like it usually does.

[00:15:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Same gold chain already.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Can't trust him.

[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And also getting laid off just in my experience, I'm like, that's not something to be ashamed

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_01]: of and hide.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, why is it such a big deal to keep such a secret?

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_01]: But like you said, you don't want to make your parents cry.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So maybe that's a good reason to keep the secret.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It is.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Not a good reason.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I can't imagine living like as soon as it happened, as soon as the first time I have

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_04]: a conversation with anyone in my life, I'm going to tell them immediately.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm just going to be like, yeah, I got laid off.

[00:16:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not your fault.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not your fault.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.

[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Different culture, different experience.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Different parents.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Different parents.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Correct.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's true.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a big part.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, just ended up okay for me.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_03]: So this movie is a tough one because I really liked a lot about it.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved the bar.

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I loved Rocky's the way the outdoor shot of it kind of going down.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought it was wonderful.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_03]: And then inside the bar was great.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Some great looking drinks.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Mark Summers, Double Dare, big part of my childhood.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I absolutely loved him in this movie.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Cool.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: But we have talked about how a lot of these movies is dependent on whether or not I'm rooting

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_03]: for the couple.

[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And I just didn't really care about this couple.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I cared a lot about Sam.

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I cared about the bar.

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I cared about what was going on there.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I cared about, I enjoyed watching the Hanukkah celebrations grow in popularity.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_03]: People were beginning to come to the bar because of it.

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that was really cool.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_03]: But I just didn't care about this couple.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I wasn't rooting for them and didn't really care if Jay stayed or Wentz.

[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_03]: So that makes it a little bit tougher.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_03]: But overall, I did enjoy this movie and there's a lot to like about it.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Dano?

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, this movie is tough, man.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I will say this.

[00:17:46] [SPEAKER_04]: We, since eight gifts of Hanukkah, which I think is a quality movie.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I think since then, Hallmark has really tried to up the ante with the quality of the Hanukkah

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_04]: presentation that they give us.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Because then we had Hanukkah on Rye and then we had Round and Round.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a decided step back from those movies.

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I think Julie Sherman Wolf does her darndest here and clearly successfully, according to

[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_04]: some folks that we've heard, to make this work.

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_04]: The problem is that there's just not a lot of care put into the filmmaking of this.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_04]: First of all, they're in Winnipeg.

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_04]: The supporting actors clearly don't have a lot invested in this plot of this premise.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_04]: I love Stacey Farber.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought she did a great job.

[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Everyone else loves something to be desired.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And then we have a massive obstacle course in the manner of Mark Summers.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Someone who I watched Double Dare in the 80s, in the 90s.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I love Mark Summers.

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_04]: This is his first acting gig.

[00:18:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Listen, he's not Kelly Pickler bad, but they don't ask Kelly Pickler to carry the emotional

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_04]: weight of a movie.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_04]: That would be hysterical.

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_04]: They're asking Mark Summers because of the lack of chemistry between our leads to do a

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_04]: lot of the heavy lifting.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's just unfair.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_04]: It is not his forte.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not his strength.

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And it really is an albatross around this movie.

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_04]: And I hate that because I love Mark Summers and I love Julie Sherman Wolf, but the movie

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_04]: doesn't like Hanukkah and Rai.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Every scene felt incredibly well shot.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Well done supporting cast across the board is clicking.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_04]: This did not feel like that.

[00:19:18] [SPEAKER_04]: This feels like a chore of a movie.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And I really did not have a great time with it.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And the stunt casting for me didn't work.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_04]: And that was unfortunate.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It's time for all the feels.

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian?

[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: When Lottie brought out that tasting menu.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me right now?

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me right now?

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: That food.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I was watching this.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Everything Bagel Season Ranch?

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Get out of here.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Fried dill pickle spear.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I would never order a fried dill pickle spear, but I would with everything Bagel Ranch.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Manny Chavitz braised short rib.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, all this stuff.

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Get me right now.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Horse radish.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go.

[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Laka creme fraiche, honey glazed apple reduction.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Just came out of nowhere.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to pause that movie.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: At a bar?

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you kidding me?

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Next level.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_04]: It's almost a wait what?

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: You're right.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Do that all year.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Sheesh.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So that sounded great.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And now I'm on the hunt for a sampling menu like that.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I disagree with Dan on Mark Summers, and I think I've made that clear, but he was my

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: feels.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I adored him.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I felt so warm when he was on screen, and I didn't find it to be a stunt at all.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I found it to be a fantastic performance.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe it's my problem.

[00:20:29] [SPEAKER_03]: It's my physical challenge.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_03]: It is a physical challenge.

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_03]: But I also, speaking of physical challenges, I would like to participate in.

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: There is a dessert cocktail made, and I would like to see how quickly I could finish that.

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I could do it before the bell goes off.

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_03]: But if not, what can you do?

[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Still win.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_03]: I think the drink that Mark Summers makes there is wonderful, and I would like to participate

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_03]: in that.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Dano?

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that the drinks in this movie are both my feels and my wait what.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: The drinks, like the fact that they're on the fly coming up with a different Hanukkah

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_04]: base drink every night with a fun, catchy pun name, and they literally are just flying

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_04]: by the seat of their pants is a bit of a wait what.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_04]: But most of the drinks they made, I was like, yeah.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Would try.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Down to try this drink.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, you know, the jelly filled donut hole on the top of the.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, come on.

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That was an old fashioned with the jelly.

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So like that was fun and that was entertaining and I enjoyed and I will get to do the wait

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_04]: what because I have some issues with the bar.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_04]: I enjoy the idea of what they're trying to do here.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They didn't really do it though.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's that.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get you the way.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_03]: The what?

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_03]: The hallmark here on deck.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_03]: The hallmark.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Christopher Walken welcoming you back to deck the hallmark.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_04]: You're going to make an offer.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We can't refuse.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to do some stuff.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to kick off the wait.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: What are we talking about?

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: What made us go away?

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_02]: What?

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_04]: You're slowly turning into Cody Freeze and it's fantastic.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how he's doing.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_04]: That's interesting.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a lonely time of year.

[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey guys, how's it going?

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: Cody Frizz.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I heard my name.

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I came running.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_04]: It is unbelievable.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_04]: The camera's going to change at any second.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_04]: It's unbelievable how, how, how, it's like brand when doing his walk and sounds like

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_04]: you.

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_04]: It's unbelievable.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: That's crazy, man.

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Cody, what are you up to these days?

[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_04]: You having a happy holidays?

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: No.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's tough in the clink.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I gotta be honest with you.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_02]: It's tough in the clink.

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you have any like, or-

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You know the little Debbie Christmas tree cakes?

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, Brett.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, of course.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: The ones that we get, five years old at least.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Hard as a rock.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I still power through.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I love those things.

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, of course you do.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you have any, do you have any ultimate Frisbee tournaments coming up that you're organizing?

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Probably couldn't.

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_04]: That's because what you do from prison and that is, is there any of those that you can

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_04]: do?

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And at this point, how long do you have left on your sentence?

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Can we get that out of the way for us?

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't talk about that.

[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It keeps getting pushed back.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't, that's all I need.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: They're saying I'm quote unquote doing too much.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_04]: So, uh, what do you, do you have any good ones?

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I got, we got a big one coming out on Christmas day actually.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: What is it?

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Where is it?

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the Christmas day, ultimate Frisbee off, uh, candy canes in, snow cones out.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Mm hmm.

[00:23:24] Mm hmm.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Mm hmm.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_04]: And where is that located?

[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_04]: That's happening in North pole.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: North pole.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Obviously candy canes in.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_04]: What was that?

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Snowball.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_04]: Snow cones out is what I said.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So I'm going to stick with that.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Snow cones at Christmas time.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I think I meant something else, but what could he do?

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if we can go any further than that.

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Is there any other ones that we need to do?

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: New Year's Eve.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm doing one New Year's Eve.

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called balls deep.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a good New Year's Eve one, man.

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, we get it.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: We bought it.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I bought, you know how on eBay you can buy things in bowls?

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I bought in bulk all the old New Year's Eve balls that they dropped in Times Square.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_02]: They don't reuse that, huh?

[00:23:58] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're going to be surrounding the field.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a great.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_02]: And you throw frisbee.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_02]: If you break one, you buy it.

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_04]: That's a great ultimate frisbee bit.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you think you should reconsider the name?

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not understanding why.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_04]: So the name of this ultimate frisbee tournament is Balls Deep 2024?

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Because of the balls that drop.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Times Square.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You got it.

[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Good.

[00:24:20] Good.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're all their surrounding.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I was going to ask for a third, but Cody, I feel like I've heard enough.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Cody, thank you so much.

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_04]: God bless you.

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_04]: God bless you.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Merry Christmas to you, sir.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Absolutely.

[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_04]: It won't be.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm scared.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: All right.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Aside from the way, what?

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Man, it was great to hear from him.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian?

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of the drinks at the bar, they do a lot of sample drinks, trying out recipes.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_01]: What they don't do is use a straw for the tasting.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Which you do with everything you're tasting in a group.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_01]: You use a tasting straw.

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you think every bar is with you?

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Like I'm with you.

[00:24:52] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_04]: But do you think every bar is with you?

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I know every bar is not with me on this.

[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_04]: You've seen John Tapper.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen how it goes out there.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It gets pretty filthy.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_04]: And you drink in those bars sometimes, isn't it?

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: It would be nice to just put on the show, I guess.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: The show.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Just like try it one time.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Get the straw a little tip there.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Boom.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, you got to do the thing where it's like, it's good.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Take it.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: It's good.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what it does?

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Take it.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Hands.

[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Hands.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: In the merger announcement email that she got at the very beginning, the subject line

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: said something a little like, merger happening, expect layoffs.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, which you never say.

[00:25:28] It's the opposite.

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're looking for a riot and get everybody going crazy, yeah, you expect layoffs.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone knows you do a, we're having an all hands meeting later.

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_03]: 3PO, some of us will be there.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Some of us will be there.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_04]: If you think employees meetings.

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Usually there's two in all hands, some of us will be there.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Balls deep, all hands.

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Employees of companies get anxious when they think there's some scuttlebutt about the possibility

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: of layoffs.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_04]: If you throw layoffs in the email, you may as well just pour kerosene on the office

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_04]: and like the match.

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Dude, nothing's happened.

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone knows what you do is, you say, hey, this merger's happening.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_03]: We're not expecting or anticipating any layoffs.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_01]: We actually see a lot of synergies here.

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's going to be really good.

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_03]: And then next week you're like, there's out of our hands.

[00:26:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: We looked at it.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_01]: All hands.

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Blame it on the sea.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: All hands.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Some of us will be there.

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01]: So that was great.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: So someone working, she said, I'll work one more night.

[00:26:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And then she showed up with more decorations than she could carry.

[00:26:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, she's in.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: She's in.

[00:26:27] [SPEAKER_01]: She's not leaving.

[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: They see all those decorations coming.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_01]: She's not going anywhere.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And then just the speed dating of it all, there's nothing speedy about it.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: No.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: They say, we're going to ask you these questions and then the older folks are going to review

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: the younger folks things, the younger folks, they're going to do the vice versa.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody's manually reviewing all the answers and choosing partners.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_01]: This is going to take forever.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_04]: It is the slowest fast dating I've ever seen.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's going to take forever.

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's crazy.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's speed, Dan.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: They don't say which speed.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: That's true.

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_03]: They don't.

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was just assuming it was going to be a quick one, but yeah, a lot of assumptions

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: on your part.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And you know what happens?

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel bad now.

[00:27:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you should.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that it?

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That's it.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: The guy who comes in to make, to check in on the offer, like he made a salmon offer

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_03]: that he couldn't refuse.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_03]: He wants to buy the, buy the bar and the building.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_03]: He does check in on that offer and then immediately gets sidetracked by bean bag toss.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_03]: He, I've never, I listen, I love a bean bag toss.

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I love a corn hole.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_04]: We love it.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_04]: The other ones.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_03]: I, the et cetera.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I've never seen an adult person, uh, get that jazzed about the bean bag.

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He walks in.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, have you got a step?

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like the, the dog and up who sees squirrel.

[00:27:40] [SPEAKER_03]: It is.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_03]: It is quick.

[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_03]: It is fast.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It is furious.

[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Guy loves bean bag.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Also, he's a self-proclaimed workaholic, which means nothing ropes a workaholic away faster

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_04]: than a little bar bean bag.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_04]: This guy didn't know.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what they're known for.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_04]: He's been in the office nonstop for three straight days, had to deliver one final sales.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh my God.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Bean bags.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_04]: Like big deal.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_04]: We've been in my whole life.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Love that guy.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, also I do, I, I feel for the extras in this movie who show up to bar and they're

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_03]: going to do the Hanukkah celebration.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_03]: They're going to light the menorah.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_03]: They're going to say the prayer and the extras are faced with a decision.

[00:28:19] [SPEAKER_03]: The extras who have never celebrated Hanukkah before and never learned the prayer.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_03]: What do I do?

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Do I sit here and not do anything or do I act like I'm mouthing the prayer that I don't

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_03]: know?

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And shout out to the extras that went the extra mile and said, do I know this prayer?

[00:28:40] [SPEAKER_03]: No, I don't, but I am an extra and I am going to act like I do.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And the, uh, they give it, they give it their best go by mouthing, not the prayer, but

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_03]: something.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Just some words.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So shout out to those extras who really win for it.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, cause that's, uh, that's a tough, that's tough, tough situation.

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Tough, tough, tough spot to be in there.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Tough spot to be in.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Tough spot on the TV there.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_03]: On the TV in front of everybody, your friends and your family, you're going to sit down and

[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_03]: be like, you had to try, didn't you?

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:29:13] [SPEAKER_03]: You had to try, uh, Dana.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I do want to point out at the end of the day, this movie boils down to a story of a Chicago

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_04]: based, uh, doctor desperate to get back to Jacksonville, Florida.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and I'm not, listen, I'm not trying to make any money mad.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but they picked Jacksonville.

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I, I didn't pick Jacksonville.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You wouldn't.

[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_04]: They picked Jacksonville and I need to point that out right now.

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, may I, there's a beast, a love story in this movie portals.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: There's a B love story, uh, here.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Jacksonville is so notorious for being hell that they made a show about it called the

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_04]: good place.

[00:29:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, there's a B story.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I believe it's Anthony and Lottie and he tries to get her attention by sending food that she

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_04]: made back.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and may I suggest, and I'm not exactly, you know, I did, I'm not exactly like, I don't

[00:30:10] [SPEAKER_04]: know all the, I've been married 18 years.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I may, maybe, maybe the game has changed, but may I suggest to you the best way to get someone's

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_04]: attention to show your interest is to not have food that they prepared with their hands sent

[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_04]: back to them.

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe it's just me.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Seems like a bad idea.

[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, not the food to do it with.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Not to, yeah.

[00:30:32] [SPEAKER_04]: The chicken wings are going to get cold.

[00:30:34] [SPEAKER_04]: You gotta eat those quick.

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_04]: You gotta eat those wings quick, hot and crispy.

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That's exactly right.

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_04]: You mentioned speed dating was, uh, really slow.

[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It also wasn't lighthearted at all.

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_04]: These were some heavy hitters.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It's what's the thing you regret most or the most embarrassing.

[00:30:48] [SPEAKER_04]: Like this is not existential crisis dating.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_04]: It's speed dating.

[00:30:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know how comfortable I am there.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Just being like, well, let me tell you about the most embarrassing thing.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I just met you.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, we also get to, uh, a lot of looking at the most sparsely attended kids, uh, art

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_04]: fair of all time.

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Guys, when you have kids, they have art fairs and these art fairs have your kids handmade

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_04]: items.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Now they make you handmade items at all at home all the time.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_04]: They're a treasure.

[00:31:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Not enough of them.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_04]: So many treasures and they're there and they're on the fridge and they're everywhere and we

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_04]: love them, but they make special treasures at school that you go and you, you view, you

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_04]: tell your kid how proud you are of them cause you are.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_04]: And then you buy that treasure at full price.

[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That is what happens at these events.

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And every parent does it like it literally, it is a mad house at these events that no one

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_04]: at this art fair who made anything has parents that love them.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_04]: It is empty.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_04]: It is empty.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe Stacey Farber is there buying something.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_04]: She didn't even have a kid.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_04]: It is, it is an empty kids art fair with a bunch of parents that can't be bothered to

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_04]: pay over price, to spend too much money for the kids treasures.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe they're waiting for him to go on sale.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_04]: You wait, they're going to go on sale and then we'll show up.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I love it.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Promo code.

[00:31:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I love it.

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, I, I do also have to mention the quickest heart to heart of all time.

[00:32:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Mark Summers goes out to the bench that Stacey Farber is sitting on.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_04]: You go time this thing.

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think it's 20 seconds.

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_04]: He sits down and like, does the old person sit like me?

[00:32:13] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, you just got to follow your heart.

[00:32:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, we'll see you in there.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_04]: It is a very quick turnaround.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_04]: He said what he needed to say.

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's out of there.

[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_04]: He's got to go run lines.

[00:32:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Cold up.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, it's cold out there.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_04]: That's all I got brain.

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, it's time for what the hallmarks were.

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_03]: We wonder what could have been.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe have it come to clear any questions that we still have.

[00:32:31] [SPEAKER_03]: What are we still wondering about?

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what we're going to talk about now, right?

[00:32:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Sam spending an awful lot of time on that bar stool.

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Uh, wonder what he's sipping on there.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Cause is he just all day long?

[00:32:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I definitely know he's sucking on chili dog.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I got chili dog.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But you know, is he just, is that a, uh, an alcohol drink?

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We're worried about him, right?

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We're worried about him.

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: We're worried about him.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Sam, you can do what you want to do.

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_04]: You own the building.

[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_03]: You spend every, every, every holiday there with his wife.

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Every night.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a lot of time in the bar.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_01]: It's also a lot of money.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So much like, even if you're the owner, you're still paying for that.

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Many costs.

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:33:09] [SPEAKER_03]: But before he was the owner.

[00:33:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_03]: He 15 years ago, he went there every year with his wife.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you think his, or every day with his wife has had that so high, he could just

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_03]: trade straight up for it.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_04]: That's how that works.

[00:33:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm pretty sure you've doubled your losses there.

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I think he owes the double.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_04]: He owes double or nothing.

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_04]: That's Brian's understanding of double or nothing.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Double or nothing.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_04]: You double it.

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Put it on my tab.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I've got this tab of a hundred grand.

[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Would you take it in exchange for the building?

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's a good deal.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Curiously enough, my, what the hallmark is the purchase of the building.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, you know, I understand that the bar is attached to the building.

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, his attachment property.

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I just want to know how all that worked.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Cause it seems like he not only bought the building, but he also, he now owns Rocky's

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: too.

[00:33:51] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's a lot going on there.

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_03]: How did all that work?

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Did he buy, do you think he bought the business first and then he went ahead and bought the

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_03]: building or because it's not like, like Rocky's was an establishment to begin with.

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Rocky's was paying rent to the building.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_04]: Right.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_04]: In my head, it was 2009 and there were foreclosures everywhere and he didn't want this bar to go

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04]: under and he swooped in, got it for a fair price.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Would watch that movie.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I'd watch that one.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe a younger Mark Summers played by not Mark Summers.

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Played by Mark Summers.

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I double dare you to choose someone different.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_04]: Mine is about Rocky's itself.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_04]: If this bar during the Hanukkah week is so chill, like I don't know if you've ever been

[00:34:28] [SPEAKER_04]: into a bar in New York city.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Quiet down.

[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Hard to hear yourself think in most of those.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_04]: You're there for a good time, not a quiet time.

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, this bar is there for a quiet time where every one person speaks at a time and that's

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04]: it.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_04]: There's no loud noises.

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Is that just for the Hanukkah week or is that how it runs year round?

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Cause if it's how it runs year round, I may have found my new bar, maybe moving to New

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_04]: York city.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, what, what if there's one thing I've learned, if the, I'm sorry, New Chicago.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm sorry.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_03]: If there's one thing I've learned about a Hanukkah from homework movies is that if you're,

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_03]: if you're not Jewish, you know, literally nothing about Hanukkah.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_03]: No one in this bar is going like, what's going on over there?

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Nobody's doing it.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_03]: What language is like, what are you doing?

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_03]: None of that.

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_03]: There's no dishes breaking.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's just like very respectful.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Everybody's having a great time.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And kind and they're like, help move the furniture.

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Can you teach me the prayer?

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_03]: I'd love to, I'd love to go in on this with you.

[00:35:20] [SPEAKER_03]: No, they're just so respectful.

[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_03]: And I love that.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I want to live in this world.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: 100%.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_03]: I have to do that.

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it everybody.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations to us.

[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Only a few more movies left.

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And then we go down, we're down to three.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: We're down to three Hallmark movies after this point.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_03]: It's crazy.

[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So come hang out with us.

[00:35:42] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll be back tomorrow with another one until then.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the first to wish you a Merry Christmas.
