Lucy wakes up to some bumping around the house. She thinks it's an intruder, so she grabs her handy-dandy hanger. It’s not an intruder, though, just her sister Sylvie. She’s putting Lucy's Hanukkah lights on the tree because she thinks it would be fun, but Lucy doesn't want that and doesn’t want her help! Sylvie clarifies she wasn’t hitting on Cole, and it’s clear that Cole is into her.
The next day, Sylvie is talking to Lucy’s daughter, Annie, sharing stories of her adventures. She asks Annie about this boy, Max, that she likes. Sylvie says that sometimes boys just need a little nudge.
A health inspector comes to Lucy's bakery and tells her that she has until the end of the year to widen the hallway. She’s going to have to call Cole! Bummer.
Sylvie finds a secret door. Inside is a joy box full of wild clothes. She tells Annie she should wear some of these wild clothes and a super cool menorah. Apparently, Joy was their mom. She finds a recipe for Joy Bars and runs down to tell Lucy she has to make them to sell at the bakery!
Lucy is reluctant, but Sylvie insists these bars will sell! And while we're at it, we need to make this place more festive!
When Lucy sees that Annie is wearing Joy’s clothes, she’s not happy. But after talking to Sylvie and seeing how happy Annie is to be learning more about her Nana, she lets it go.
Sylvie and Annie decorate the bakery and even bring in a 70s jukebox.
Lucy is feeling inspired and finally asks Cole out on a date, and Sylvie helps her get ready.
While out on the date, Lucy opens up about how she and Sylvie haven’t been that close since their mom died. It's going great, but she ends up putting on the lip plumper that Sylvie gives her, and she has an allergic reaction.
The next day, Lucy walks into her bakery to see that Sylvie used all the bakery’s inventory for Joy Bars, which are very different from anything else in the healthy bakery.
It’s the night of the big festival, and Annie decides to be more like Sylvie and kisses Max on the cheek in a selfie. Max is like, "WTF?" and Annie runs away.
Lucy goes to find her, and Sylvie hands out all the Joy Bars for free. Lucy ends up yelling at Sylvie.
Sylvie decides it’s best if she leaves, even though there’s a bad storm. The power goes out, and while she’s talking to Annie and lighting the menorah, she realizes she made a mistake and has to go find Sylvie—just as the doors blow open with the wind... aka Joy, the ghost.
[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Bran and I love Hallmark Christmas television. I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas television TV. I'm Alonzo and I'm brought to you by Over The Counter Cold Medications and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark, it's this podcast. We're friends host this podcast.
[00:00:28] We hope you like this jolly podcast. Hi everybody. Happy Monday. Monday, Monday, Monday. Maybe Festive Friday in the future. Could be Festive Friday in the future. We just... We thought of this alliteration and we were like, you know... Because we threw out the idea of doing the Mission Impossible movies with Ryan. During the summer. Oh, so Mission Monday.
[00:00:57] He's never seen most of them. Yeah, I've seen the last like three or four. This is unfair. I mean, and we're getting a new space and we're gonna have a theater room in the new space and I just want to watch Ghost Protocol on the new screen. That's all I know. Oh, well, yeah. Which is, let's just spoiler now, the best of the franchise, right? Yes, easily. You and I agree on that. For sure. Ghost Protocol is... Ghost Protocol. Is just like almost a... The president has declared Ghost Protocol. That's right. Perfect movie.
[00:01:26] Perfect action movie. It's fantastic. It's so, so good. I can't wait. I can't wait. I'm excited. I'm pretty excited about watching. It's the Ghost Protocol. That's right. It's the Ghost Protocol. Alonzo, you're here and we love that. And when you found out that it was the Woods family, you just jumped out of bed. You know, in 1997, Michael Jordan played what is famously known as his flu game. Flu game. Alonzo is calling his shot today. This is his flu game. This is his flu game.
[00:01:55] Wait until you hear his hot take. Oh my gosh. It's got to be Lindy Booth, right? It's got to be Lindy Booth. We found the original video. Yes. We found the original gotta go with Lindy Booth today. And it was quite a journey back in time for us. We are talking holidays. We're at the Woods family now. Are we ready to dive in? I'm sure. November 28th, 2024 is when it premiered on the Hallmark Plus. And it went a little something like this. Lucy wakes up to some bumping in her house.
[00:02:24] She thinks it's an intruder, so she grabs her handy dandy hanger. You know, because you're just going to hit somebody with it. It's not an intruder, though. It's just her sister, Sylvie. She's putting Lucy's Hanukkah lights on the Christmas tree because she thinks that would be fun. But Lucy doesn't want fun. She doesn't want her help. Sylvie clarifies that she gets on her about at the end of episode one when she walks up
[00:02:52] and she sees that Sylvie is talking to the boy that she likes, Cole. It's a whole thing. She's like, I'm not into Cole. I have a boyfriend. Do you remember? Yeah. I remember that for sure. It's a pretty big deal. She's very important to me, Brian. I know. You talk about it nonstop, but I want it to the people at home. Gotta go with Lindy Booth. The next day, Sylvie is talking to Lucy's daughter, Annie, sharing stories of her many, many adventures. She asked Annie about this boy that she likes named Max.
[00:03:18] Sylvie says that sometimes boys just need a little nudge to know that you are interested in them. It's okay to take charge a little bit. A health inspector comes to Lucy's bakery and tells her that she has until the end of the year to widen the hallway or else... Which is not an easy thing. No. So I guess she's going to have to call Cole. Bummer. Sylvie finds a secret door in... There's another door.
[00:03:48] There's another door in Lucy's closet. Inside of it is a joy box full of some wild clothes and other random things. She tells Annie that she should wear some of these wild and cool clothes. And in the bottom of it, they find this super cool menorah. Now, apparently Joy was their mom. They called her Joy. But she was so free spirit. She was a free spirit. Just like, anything goes type of thing. And so they made her this fun, homemade menorah. And it's very cool.
[00:04:17] And so she puts that out. She finds a recipe for Joy bars, which are apparently the most festive Christmas treat of all time, runs down to tell Lucy that she should make them or bake them, I guess you should say, at the bakery. Now, the problem is Lucy's reluctant about this because it's like a healthy bakery and these aren't healthy at all. But Sylvie insists that these bars will sell. And while we're at it, we need to make this place more festive.
[00:04:47] When Lucy sees that Annie is wearing Joy's clothes, she's not happy at first. Those clothes aren't supposed to be worn. But after talking to Sylvie and seeing how happy Annie is to be learning more about her Nana that she never got to meet, she lets it go. Sylvie and Annie decorate the bakery and even bring in a jukebox. Yeah. Rent that sucker out. Don't rock the jukebox when it's playing a country song. No. Don't you do it. Lucy is feeling inspired and finally asks Cole out for drinks.
[00:05:16] And Sylvie helps her get ready. While out on the date, Lucy opens up about how she and Sylvie haven't been very close since their mom died. Aside from the sad conversations, it's going great. They're having a great time together. Aside from the sad combos. She goes to the bathroom and decides that she's going to put on the lip plumper that Sylvie gave her. Oh. Oh. You know, she's like, the date's going well. What could go wrong? Less prompt than lips. But she has an allergic reaction.
[00:05:44] Has bee pollen in the lip balm and that's a boom. Forget about it. So the next day, Lucy walks into the bakery to see that Sylvie has used all of the bakery's inventory to bake Joy Bars, which she's very upset about this. How are we supposed to make anything else? And it's also very different than anything else that's in the bakery. It is the night of the big festival, a night that the bakery typically actually does really well because everybody's there for the festival.
[00:06:12] And Annie decides that she's going to be a little bit more like Sylvie and kisses Max on the cheek while they're taking a selfie. Max is like, yo, what gives? And Annie runs away and he's like, Annie, are you okay? Are you okay? Lucy goes to find her when she finds out that she's missing. And Sylvie hands out the Joy Bars for free because nobody wants them at the bakery. Lucy ends up yelling at Sylvie after finding all of this out.
[00:06:41] You told my daughter to kiss a boy on the cheek. Yes. Gave away all of the Joy Bars for free. This is the worst. So Sylvie decides that it would be best if she just left, even though there's a bad storm. Speaking of the bad storm, you know it by now, but the power goes out. And while she's talking to Annie and lighting Joy's menorah, she realized that she made a bit of a mistake, maybe went a little bit too hard when talking to Sylvie. And they decide that they have to go find her.
[00:07:11] And just then the doors blow up open with the wind, a.k.a. It's Joy Ghost. It's a Joy Ghost. And that, my friends, was Holidays in the Woods Family. Episode four. Yeah, four. We did it. We did do it. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we will get to the hot takes here on Deck the Hallmark.
[00:07:41] Hi, everybody. How are you? We're talking Holidays. The Woods Family today. The family that, when I saw the name, I immediately knew. Oh, we knew. We knew. We knew it right away. Didn't need any more context to remember. Let's dive in. Let's share our thoughts on where to start with the hot take. We're going to share exactly how we felt about this episode. We're not going to hold back, and I will start with you. Alonzo. Alonzo, what did you think of the Woods Family?
[00:08:06] Well, before we get rolling, for those of you who are watching on Philo, philo.tv slash GTH, there's already been some discussion in the chat regarding the fact that I'm wearing a red hat. It's not one of those red hats. This was actually a gift from a linoleum knife fan who got it at a thrift store in Vancouver, and it actually has stitched on it another Hallmark Christmas movie. Oh, there you go. I love it. I was thinking maybe it was like a wrap gift or something that somebody ditched, but, you know, so let's be very clear about that. Alonzo having a lot of interesting wardrobe choices lately.
[00:08:36] Last week was Run-DMC themed. This week, red hat. Red cap. I have a, look, I'm like Sylvie. I have a deep closet of choices here. Yeah, this is not a great episode. The stakes couldn't be lower. The characters are not particularly interesting. We are meant to understand that this bakery just sounds like the most miserable place on earth.
[00:09:03] Like, I don't ever want to hear the word spinach and brownie together again. Exactly. Ever. Exactly. And so, yeah, you wind up with sort of cookie cutter, grim food, the way that Hallmark likes to do it, because anything that isn't like salt and fat centric is like only aliens eat it. But then you've also got like a completely two dimensional free spirit, you know.
[00:09:28] So, yeah, this left me kind of, this is maybe my least favorite episode of the whole shebang, but we'll figure that out as we continue. The fact that you say maybe doesn't give me a lot of hope. Thank you, Elonzo. That is, that's dirty. I hate it. That's mean. That's dirty. That's been spirited. I thought of it in my mind, though, and I could not say it. Don't treat Alfonso like that. Oh, and he's not feeling well either. Oh, man.
[00:09:57] He's taking him while he's putting me while I'm down. It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Yeah, I agree. This is not my favorite episode, my least favorite so far, mainly because I found both Lucy and Sylvie to be annoying for different reasons. And really the only thing that I cared about was Annie and Max. They only have like one scene on screen together.
[00:10:20] But I find the actor who plays Annie to be really good and is giving a great performance. And then the heartbreak that she displays when Max isn't excited by the surprise kiss, it was a really compelling scene. And then everything else around the episode I didn't care about and was just kind of annoyed by both of the characters. So that's unfortunate.
[00:10:46] I'm, you know, interested in the ghost aspect. I worried we're not going to get any more ghosts. That was a really weird thing to include at the end of this if we're not going to get any more. But interested in the ghost. That's all I'll say. Interested in it. Aside from that, not much. Dan? I'm not interested in any of it. This is bad. But I will say this. This was kind of destined to be bad.
[00:11:14] If you had asked me two weeks removed from the premiere episode to talk about all the families, this is the family I would have forgotten about. I would not have remembered this family. I would have been like, oh yeah, Lindy Booth and her sister. I wouldn't have remembered. So every other episode, when it starts, I'm going to have some context as to why I care. So that's one. Two, Alonzo hit the nail on the head. Healthy bakery. Stop it. We don't need you. We don't want you.
[00:11:43] Not bakery for people with allergens. That's not it. This is healthy bakery. Okay? So like, my wife can't have dairy. There's places that sell dairy-free donuts. They're not healthy. They're just dairy-free. I don't want you healthy bakery. Stay out of my life. That's two. Number three, and this is a big one for me. I think this is the only story where we know exactly how it's going to end. Don't get me wrong.
[00:12:11] I know Ian Harding and Aaron Kahler are going to get up together, but we know exactly what's going to happen here. Right? The town's going to love the joy cakes, joy brownies, whatever they're called. Right? Yeah, the joy bars. They're going to love them. They're going to all storm in to buy them. Lindy Booth is going to realize she was wrong about that and apologize to her sister and then realize her sister's been going through a tough time. Sister stays in town. We all live happily ever after. And so there is nothing.
[00:12:39] There's no cliff to hang on. There's nothing here that makes me want to watch another episode. And so, yeah, just the performances are fine, but this is not nearly as good as what we've seen prior to it. And I hope what we'll see after it. Yeah, didn't care. Didn't care at all. Hard no for me. Hard no. Hard no. Let's get to all the feels. We're talking about what in this episode gave us feels. Alonzo?
[00:13:08] Well, I'll tell you, this episode does get a rare rave from Dave White. Oh, okay. In that he walked through, as I was watching, that opening scene where she's putting the little light-up dreidels on the Christmas tree. And this is a Christmas tree that is sort of like color-themed, but it looks like human hands have actually arranged the ornaments. Yeah. There's no big ribbon wound around it.
[00:13:33] And Dave White stopped and said, this is the first Hallmark tree I've ever seen that didn't look like absolute puke. Wow. Okay, well, there you go. There you go. So that was my feel. A full rave from Dave White. Yes. One of my feels. Call him Rave White. Rave White. One of my feels was that as well. But just like when she plugged in the Hanukkah decoration, the Hanukkah lights looked really cool. And really, really liked it. Alongside of the color lights, I thought that really popped.
[00:14:00] And I don't really understand what they were going for with the jukebox, but I do love a jukebox. And so shout out jukebox. Dan? Shout out jukebox. I agree with Bran. The best storyline is the Max and Annie. That was adorable. That was an adorable storyline. And it didn't get near enough play here. But usually the kid actors are like, somebody hide them somewhere. Like they're not good. And that was not the case here. I thought Annie did a really good job. So that's the closest I have to some feels.
[00:14:30] Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll get to the way what and the are you Holly or all your days? Whatever it is here on deck the hallmark. Deck the hallmark. Deck the hallmark. Hi. Welcome back, everybody. We are talking about holidays. Episode four, I believe, for the Woods family. Let's get to the way what is where we talk about what in this episode. Let's go away what.
[00:14:59] And I will start with you, Alonzo. Yeah, so many. For starters, wouldn't they have measured the hallway before the bakery opened in the first place? It's called a fire code, Alonzo. Yeah. It's called a fire code. It changed. It would have come up before. Like when you lease that place, it has to be up to fire code. Exactly. Yeah.
[00:15:21] Or if you buy it, the appraiser and the person to inspect it before the bank will give you a mortgage will do something called see if it's up to fire code. Walk through. Yes. I think the tape measure just seems to be coming out really late. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. Yeah. A guy asks if he can have half a spinach brownie because he might have celiac. Oh, my God. Let's unpack that. All right.
[00:15:48] First of all, if you think anything in this bakery has gluten in it, like no way. Like there's no way that that's happening. Secondly, you either have celiac or you don't. And the doctor should tell you. That's right. Like a lot of people have decided that they have celiac because they want to be annoying about asking for gluten-free items. But they don't. And you don't want to test it yourself by trying some new food. It'd be like it's, you know, it's the cream teas frosting all over again.
[00:16:18] You don't want to like have a bit of, you know, gluten to see whether or not you react badly to gluten. That's right. Can you give me half a peanut butter cookie? I might be allergic. But I'm just going to roll the die on this one. To your point, and I love how you said roll the die singular. Like you're going to roll one die on it, which is great. Well, that's all you need. If you do have celiac, which is like what? Like 1% of the people that say that they need gluten-free actually have celiac.
[00:16:43] If you do have celiac, you would know that a single like ounce of gluten is just as bad for you as a plate of gluten. Like that's how that works. You can't like the fact that you're going to take a half a half a brownie because I might have it. You may as well take the whole brownie, chief. Like you may as well just go ahead and eat the whole thing if that's where you are. Give you a penny. Yeah. Yeah. That's right. Anything else? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
[00:17:11] They decide the holidays as their busy period because, of course, they're a bakery. Even if their treats are all horrifying. Like that's when the people who want them want them. No. But let's take this time to do a full Reno on not just the hallway but like the kitchen and the front. And like they basically had to close for a couple days to do all the stuff that they did.
[00:17:33] What's wild is that they intimate that Lindy Booth is in the back of the store fixing the hallway because when she comes out, she had not seen any of it. So like I thought they did it in a morning. One of my wait what's was they did the full Reno in a morning. Oh, that's okay. That's also possible. But I mean like it just seems it's beyond a pardon our mess situation. Like there's no one space in the bakery that's functioning right now because we're upgrading everything. Yeah.
[00:17:57] So this is a thing that Hallmark always does and it's like why bother complaining? It's like the idea of the big business meeting happening on Christmas Day or whatever. But y'all, baked goods need to cool. Yeah. You do not bite right into them right when they come out of the oven. Not only are you going to burn your mouth but they're not ready yet. Like they have to cool down unless you're making a souffle or something. So I don't care how good the joy bars are. You are not gnawing into them the second they come out of the oven. And it's just not happening.
[00:18:27] No joy here. Alonzo Duraldi at the marathon last year made one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've ever had in my life. I dream about that chocolate chip cookie. I wasn't handed it right out of the oven. Like even that cooled a little bit. Yes. Come on. Because I know what I'm doing. That's right. That's right. I would have liked to have known more about Lindy Booth's dead and presumably Gentile husband. Because if there's a Christmas tree I'm guessing he's the one who brought that into the mix. Yes.
[00:18:57] Joy was clearly Jewish with her menorah. Some explanation of that would have been nice. And then also this is another thing that it's not just homework. Like everybody does this where like where you know time passes but we assume that all dead grandparents remember World War II. Joy, based on the math of this, probably died in the late 90s but they treat her like she was at Woodstock. That's great. You're right.
[00:19:25] You know everything's so groovy and 60s and flowing and the feather boas and the sort of fake poochy dress shirt or you know whatever it was. But it's like wait if she died and Lindy Booth was old enough to take care of her younger. No. She's a thousand years old. Exactly. So free spirit guys. Benjamin Buttons. Free spirit. My first one is just that she rented a jukebox. Listen.
[00:19:51] Which is just was such an interesting choice to do in the first place. But then you all you looked up. I did research on this. The jukebox rental? When they wheeled the jukebox in I was like alright brings the room together and then she goes I rented that jukebox. Why? Why? What like there are so many jukeboxes on eBay for of the style that she chose working jukeboxes anywhere from 800 to 2000 dollars.
[00:20:17] And I found a place that rents 70s jukeboxes in Greenville $500 a day. A single day. $500. You rented a juke? What was the plan? Is it a festive jukebox? Between the 500 a day jukebox and ruining her inventory and giving away everything for free. She's not nearly mad enough. No. No. Sylvie is putting her out of business. There's a lawsuit happening here.
[00:20:46] That's a really tough day. I mean go to judge. Go to judge. Judge. Mathis. Any of them. But also of the things you need to probably be all in on a jukebox is one of them in my opinion. I don't know if for your bakery renting a jukebox doesn't make what's the goal there is to sell the place and to make it look like it has a jukebox. If it's not that then I don't know why you're renting a jukebox. I loved that she Sylvie hands her the lip plump and she's like what?
[00:21:16] But then she still brought it with her. Yeah. And then she was like let's just see how the date's going. Date's going okay. Now is the time to make my lips plump. It was halfway through date. Date was going well. Halfway through date I'm going in and let's try something new. That's right. We might make out. I want to make sure I'm as numb as possible. That's right. Let's just suck her up a little bit. It was a very interesting midday is the first time I'm going to give this a whirl. A good time for her.
[00:21:45] Last but not least I have a question for all of our friends and listeners that celebrate Hanukkah. Has every movie and TV show that I've seen that does the Hanukkah lighting with the prayer, have they done the prayer incredibly fast or is this one incredibly slow? It's the latter. It is.
[00:22:04] This is the slowest Hanukkah lighting prayer that I have ever heard and it made me wonder maybe they're doing it right and every other thing I've ever seen is wrong. But I do have a feeling it's the fact that they were doing it very slow. Is it even the eighth night of Hanukkah or are they just lighting all the candles because it was a blackout? Yeah, I think it was a blackout. Very. It was when they when she started. I was like, oh, oh boy. We're getting. Rena Salzman in the chat says it was incredibly slow. There you go. There we go. That's all. That's all. There we go. Dano.
[00:22:34] Yeah. She Sylvie is trying to make money for the healthy bakery and she has somebody on the phone who's like two dozen cookies. Sorry. We can't do two dozen cookies. It's a $500 minimum. And that person says fine. That person who called for two dozen cookies, 50, 60 bucks said it's 500. Okay. I'll pay 10 times as much. No problem. And then she hangs up the phone and goes, I got another one.
[00:22:59] What is happening in this town where people that need two dozen cookies are calling and being sold on $500 as the house minimum for these cookies? They didn't even get a YouTube channel. The misery treats that this bakery makes. $500 worth of spinach brownies? Shoot me in the face. Just throw it down the drain. Yeah. Just, just, just, yeah. We'll do what you need to do there. That's $500 too much. Yeah. Just buy all the copies of Madam Web on Blu-ray. Like, I don't like what you just got.
[00:23:29] There's got to be a, there's got to be a better use of $500 than, well. Buy up every newspaper account to hide the wedding announcement. That's exactly right. Someone's planning the worst day of all time. They're planning the worst day of all time. And I can't say no. They're like, they're like, I got, it's like a business that needs to get rid of money the last week of the year. And they're like, I wonder if they'd charge me $500 for two dozen cookies. It's like, no. Cancer time. It's like when we bought the chairs and they kept going lower. This is the reverse of that.
[00:23:59] Amazing. May I suggest to you that in your full reno, gift wrapping the tables like presents is the worst idea of all time. Do you allow children in your establishments? That's, you, you have signed yourself up for gift wrapping tables constantly. The idea that. One spilled coffee. Yeah. One spilled anything, but my kids are unwrapping that table. My kids are unwrapping the table. They're going to peel a little and then they're going to rip and go, oops.
[00:24:29] And I'm going to be like, finish the job, bro. That's what's going to happen. That's what's going to happen. I'm sorry. Someone's full-time job is now rewrapping tables every time. Alonzo's right. When things come out of the oven in a bakery, they need to cool. But also when bread is made in an oven, it needs to be sold. There is so much bread just laying out in the open in the back room in the bay. Like this bread is days old bread.
[00:24:58] Like we have a bread in Greenville that is our bread. It is the Swamp Rabbit Cafe Steca bread. You can find it. Restaurants get it to make sandwiches with it. You can go to Swamp Rabbit and get it, market, sell it. But if you don't buy it the day that it's made, the next day it goes on super discounted. The next day it doesn't exist. This bread is just sitting there. It's like there's eight baguettes over here. Top shelf. It's absurd. I'll take the bread in the top shelf. It was just crazy to me that they're like, man, we got to get in here and make money. Well, maybe stop making all of this old bread.
[00:25:27] Like that would be the time. It's like spelt bread. It just sits on the shelf for weeks. That's when it gets good. That's the thing about bread. Do you give me a week-old bread on a Sammy? And then lastly, Lindy Booth gets real mad at Sylvie, rightfully so, but comes in and it's like you gave away all the joy bars. This is our biggest day of the year and you lost me money. Well, Lindy, if it was the biggest day of the year, where were you? Because you weren't working the bakery on the biggest day.
[00:25:57] She was finding Annie. Her daughter was missing. But it's the biggest day of the year. Her daughter was missing. I'm not saying she should have been there. I'm saying she can't get mad. Well, I think you can get mad if you didn't. Don't get mad about the other stuff. What I'm saying is, is that if you're not there on the biggest day of the year, you understand what happens. Like period. They're saying get mad at the daughter. No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get mad at your daughter. For sure. I'm just saying like of the things to get mad at your sister about, there were plenty.
[00:26:26] One of them is not give away a treat no one's buying. You weren't there. You would like, you left your sister who's been in town for a few days and charged the bakery. She was mad about the fact that she used all the inventory on the Joy Bars. She said it's our biggest day of the year and you basically didn't make any money. You lost us money. Yeah. Yes. I think it's a combination of the fact that she guaranteed her Joy Bars would sell and she did the opposite. Well, they're going to. We're going to find out in the last episode. They're going to. They're going to sell. They're going to sell. That's all I got.
[00:26:57] Holly or days? What's your holly? What's your days? Alonzo? I don't have a holly for this one. Yeah. My days is just that. I think Dan pretty much laid it out. We know exactly what's going to happen when we get to the last episode. I don't even remember what happens and I know that he's right. There's no off ramp to this story and it was never all that interesting in the first place.
[00:27:24] My holly is, boy, I hope Annie and Max end up together. I think we're all shipping them. Maybe we'll go to HoCo together. It'll be real cute. And my days is everything else. But my other days is that we won't get any more ghosts. I'm worried we're not going to get any more ghosts and I really hope we get more ghosts. Dan? Yeah. I'm going to be a glass half full optimist here as I always am on this program. I'm holly that we're done with this episode.
[00:27:53] I know what's coming with some of our other episodes. I know Dennis Haysbert. I mean, that storyline was Sir Darius Blaine and Dennis Haysbert. Like, I've been excited about that since the premiere. And Loretta Devont. Loretta Devont. Yeah. This is like, we've got some good stuff ahead of us. And I'm excited that we've got this. Clearly, we needed to get this one out of the way. I didn't even know it existed. So we need to get it out of the way. So I'm optimistic that we've got the worst of it out of the way. Well, there you go. We did it, everybody.
[00:28:23] Congratulations to us. I think we should do it again next Monday. I think that's a good idea. And I guess we're going to be back tomorrow. Another episode. Yeah. Come on. Come on back.
