Snow 2: Brain Freeze (ABC Family - 2008) ft. Ryan Pappolla

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Brandon. I love ABC Family Christmas movies. Hi, I'm Ryan and I like ABC Family Christmas movies. I'm Dan and I gotta be honest, I don't know how I feel about ABC Family Christmas movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:16] Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast. Fa la la la la. Dan Frento's his podcast. Fa la la la la. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Fa la la la la. Yes, yes, yes. You know. Hello.

[00:00:36] You know, the last time we did this with our good friend Ryan Pappolla, promises were made. One of which I believe was he'd be in the studio for this episode and I gotta be honest, I'm not here to call Ryan Pappolla a liar.

[00:00:50] I'm not here to, I would never do that. Well also I think promises episode will come out last week so a lot of promises. Yeah, so I feel like we just, everyone's been let down. Everyone's been let down here is all I'm saying. Me included. Yeah.

[00:01:02] I mean who do we blame for this? What was it American Airlines? We blame American Airlines. American, United, Delta. They all were Microsoft mofos. We blame somebody. But it is what it is. And I'll just say this for all the Ryan stans out there,

[00:01:16] you're getting a double dose of Ryan this week because of it. So it kind of all, it's a, you know, it all comes out in the wash. I didn't know that the much anticipated Force Friday started this week until I was on vacation.

[00:01:27] And I think last week I was like, I got the thing. You were like, can you watch blah blah blah. You sent me a text about it. I was like, oh, that's this week. That's right now.

[00:01:33] Well, and I think the big takeaway there is we are 11 weeks away from Christmas, Christmas season starting. Oh, so there's that. Okay. You do the math out. Only 11. Only 11. I bet the folks over at Christmas morning are going nuts. Yeah, we are. We are going nuts.

[00:01:49] Thanks for asking. Thanks for asking. 11 weeks till Christmas. 11 weeks until countdown to Christmas starts. 11 weeks until countdown to Christmas. Which means less than that until the Christmas preview show starts. So I'm going nuts right now. May as well start tomorrow.

[00:02:03] Yeah, we'll see how many we can get out of it. Should we do a Star Wars preview show at some point? Oh my gosh. I would know. I draw the line there. I draw the line right there. Yeah, how many lightsabers? You got a cream one.

[00:02:18] Yeah, half a saber. You got a cream of saber. I don't think so. It's a family show. That's starting this Friday night. But it's not right now. We got a very important film. That's right. Yeah, that's actually something else. We're all excited about doing.

[00:02:30] It's called Snow to Brain Freeze. Yeah, let's do that one. And I think it's important for people to understand context. Context matters. We all collectively watched this movie two weeks ago with the understanding that we would review it

[00:02:50] before Bramble Fest and it would come out the week following Bramble Fest. That was the intention. Did any of that happen? No. Ryan, we tried like heck. Ryan, your flight was canceled. You got in a day later.

[00:03:03] That didn't make it possible for us to record ahead of time. Day was out of time last. It was a whole thing. And so here we are now. And so everyone out there, if we get some things wrong, which we're known to do on the best of days.

[00:03:18] That's right. Sure. Give us a little grace. It's been a minute and this movie wasn't super memorable. If you don't think this movie gets the ribbing it deserves. There are. I looked at my notes and I don't recognize over half of the things I wrote down.

[00:03:35] So you just need to know that we have a lot of fun here at Deck the Hallmark. We typically don't watch a movie and then two weeks later, try to review it. But we said we're doing it and dadgummit. That's right. We want to do it. Yes.

[00:03:44] We want to do it. Is this coming out in July or is this technically going to come out in August? It's coming out in July. Yes. Yes. Final day. Happy Wednesday. Final day of July. Final day of July. Just kind of sneaking in there. Christmas in July.

[00:03:57] People think it's over. It's not over at all. No, no, no, no. So festive over here. Let's see what happens. Snow 2, Colin Brain Freeze, originally aired on ABC Family on December 14, 2008. Four years after the initial Snow franchise began.

[00:04:14] Got the whole gang back together and it went a little something like this. Sandy is at the North Pole doing North Pole stuff. She's getting ready to tell Nick something big and she's nervous. But Nick is nowhere to be found. He's out sled dogging is what I put.

[00:04:33] Dog sledding is another way to say it. He's out there sled dogging. Why dogs instead of reindeer? The reindeer are too fast. That's their joke that they're making. So how do you get inspired to or how do you get the reindeer to be inspired to start to run?

[00:04:51] You say out of the job, that'll get them back into the business. And he decides to show them how to work out. He mirror travels to a gym so they can learn. So Sandy is sad now because Nick is MIA. Take her to the house.

[00:05:13] She gets she just wants to spend the holidays with Nick and Nick promised her that they'd spend some time together. So she she's mad when he finally comes back. They argue and they decide now is the time to do some fun. A mirror. Yeah, what?

[00:05:33] He's like, I gotta get out of here. Yeah, I'm mad where we're mad. So he he mirror travels. But upon exiting, he falls and he hits his head. Yeah, so he's now in a different world. Classic Santa's got amnesia. And he wakes up brain injuries.

[00:05:49] He is a brain freeze. He wakes up in a hospital. They call it the soft science is the brain. You guys don't know that when you dry guys drink like a slush or something too fast, you're actually as many concussions.

[00:06:01] So he wakes up at a hospital doesn't know who he is. Lucky for him, the news is there interviewing. That's why both football and the hospital help. That's exactly right. They're interviewing people in the hospital as the news does. Sandy watching the news as you two sees him.

[00:06:18] But you know who else does? Remember Buck? So he wants to find them to get revenge. He tells Nick, he shows up. He tells Nick that someone's coming for him. It's not good. And he tricks him into leaving the hospital before he's supposed to.

[00:06:35] So when Sandy shows up, she finds out that Nick is missing. Buck gives Nick a ticket to Bolivia. Yeah. And so he goes to the train station. But luckily for him, you know, brain freeze. He falls asleep. He misses the train altogether.

[00:06:54] And he meets Ryan, a kid who says he wants to help. But he's really just a pick pocket. Hey, man, I don't steal nothing. That's right. Sorry about being in your studio. I know that. Pick pocket at our heart. Yeah. Saying you were going to be here.

[00:07:10] It's messed up, man. And so because they use a pickpocket, they have to run away from the police at one point. And they to do that, they go into this building. This building is like an old club. And there's a guy inside this club. His name's Henry.

[00:07:24] And Henry's like, I've been waiting for you. This was a secret society of sorts. And we're glad that you're here. And Nick is like, I don't know what you're talking about, man.

[00:07:35] And an important thing that you need to know and is told to Sandy early on is that you can't tell him that he's Santa or else he might forget forever. Yes. And so you have to let him come to that realization himself. Yes.

[00:07:53] So while she's looking for Nick, Sandy suddenly finds Buddy the reindeer and who came through the mirror as well. And she is hoping that Buddy can help her find Nick. We did it. But Nick doesn't recognize her. Brain freeze still fully frozen.

[00:08:13] And so obviously, I can't tell you can't do any of that. So they are now going to be working with Henry to decorate this club for Christmas because everyone's going to be coming. Yeah. And so we got a secret Santa society. We got to know.

[00:08:35] We got to make sure that this is all decorated for Christmas. And Buck is now at the North Pole. He's traveled. He's got some of this magic snow, which allows you to transport through the mirror. You thought it was just a mirror.

[00:08:50] It's not that snow on the mirror. Snow on the mirror. Twice called snow. Snow on the mirror. Snow too. And he is starting to read. He puts it all together that this is the North Pole, which is why Ryan was so adamant last. I don't know.

[00:09:05] Eight weeks ago now that he didn't know the North Pole. Remember that? We're seeing this movie. Ryan still wrong there. We can talk about that later. I got to go pickpocket. Yeah. Yeah. So it's almost Christmas Eve. Sandy tries to help Nick remember, but does not remember.

[00:09:26] Then suddenly people start coming through the mirror and it's like Santa's of Santa old or something like that. Santa old. Santa's of Santa's old. It's his dad and his dad, and that helps him remember. Basically. Sure. Is that right, Ryan? I think I feel good about it anyway.

[00:09:47] Basically, the most important thing. Nick remembers they go back to the North Pole. They they're happy. And Sandy tells him the big news that she's pregnant. And that my friends was snow. Cold. He wasn't in the North Pole last time. Going too early. Calling too early. Been there.

[00:10:08] Let's take a quick break. We'll come back and we will break this movie down here on deck the homework. Welcome back, everybody. In the chat trying to follow along to that synopsis to figure out this movie. I'm sorry.

[00:10:28] I thought you were going to have to loop the song there for a second. It would have been amazing on this film. They spent a lot of time in the Santa society is what you really need to know. And none of it really mattered.

[00:10:37] Ultimately, let's get to snow to let's talk about. Let's break it down. We're gonna start with a hot take. We're gonna share exactly how he felt about this movie. I'll start with you, Ryan.

[00:10:45] Ryan, we originally when I sent you the schedule, originally, we weren't going to do snow to we were going to do a different ABC family movie. And you were like, I think since we're doing snow one, we should do snow. Oh, this is Ryan's fault. Ryan's fault.

[00:11:00] Ryan, your thoughts on snow to. You know, I often say there's no one identify with less than 18 year old Ryan Popola. This movie confirmed it. I some quick, really quick backstory because we have a lot to do today.

[00:11:14] I watch I watch this film several years in a row. I own on physical media and I like to bring it full circle to what Dan and I were talking about week one with holiday and handcuffs and the importance that had because it was

[00:11:27] still new and there wasn't 8000 Christmas films being made. I was so desperate at one point in my life to watch a Christmas film every day or multiple Christmas films every day leading up to Christmas that there was a several year stretch where I watched snow to yearly.

[00:11:43] And I remember I didn't suggest this to brand because I think this. Yeah, I didn't suggest this to brand because I think this film is a classic. If anything, I think I texted brand verbatim this a few weeks ago. Snow to was worse than I remember it.

[00:11:57] And I remember it is really bad. It's it's this movie sucks. Like everything that made the first film so charming is basically absent here. I want to be fair because I like everyone who's in this film performance wise.

[00:12:14] I think that they were just it's a losing battle from the start. This is tough. The Santa Claus too. If you're talking to anyone other than brand couldn't figure this out. I think Santa magic what makes the best Santa stories we've ever had.

[00:12:27] The Santa Claus with an E being the best example. I even think by the last 20 minutes of the Santa Claus that they kind of lose the plot a little bit that the strongest parts of that film are the beginning sustainable Santa stories

[00:12:39] and the secret Santa society is just so so to do. Nick comes off as a bit of a jerk even before the amnesia hits. You don't get Kavanaugh and Ashley Williams together very much in this film, which like

[00:12:54] for a sequel, that was what we liked the first time you're not giving us Hector back kid of the decade. Kid of the decade. At least potential kid of the century. We get Ryan and Ryan and I think you would agree with this.

[00:13:06] Yeah, that doesn't even scratch the surface of kid of the decade, much less even kid of the year. I haven't seen it's been a long time since 2008, but I bet there's some other kids out there.

[00:13:18] Oh, I think we could go to a kid of the ABC family 25 days of Christmas block for that season and possibly find some contenders. No offense to him. I hope he's doing great.

[00:13:26] This film didn't need Buck like this is they didn't need Buck like, you know, and then the film tells us Nick needs to come to his memories himself, except I'm pretty sure someone just told him that he was Santa and then he was like, oh, cool.

[00:13:41] We don't care. We don't care about him and his parents. I apologize. I used to apologize most on my time here at Deck the Hallmark for introducing Fast Fridays. That was a hit. This was a miss my bad. Um, I don't.

[00:13:53] Yeah, I don't really understand the purpose of this movie. Brain freeze brain. Come on. So we had snow, which was, you know, a good time. It was fun. It was 2004. I don't know what happens between 2004 and 2008 that finally made a second snow movie possible.

[00:14:16] But I have a hard time believing that this was the best we could do. Idea wise for a snow sequel, because we have these characters like I'm I'm intrigued. The thing I'm intrigued about is Ashley Williams fish out of water. She's just moved to the North Pole.

[00:14:36] What is that like for her? What's it like? We could have just had a sequel. That's just like basically a straight sequel. Like she's in she's in the North Pole. That's tough. Shenanigans transpires. I don't know why we had to have him hit his head.

[00:14:50] Get give him brain freeze. I definitely don't understand the necessity of Secret Santa Society. That whole plot point was a miss for me. And so I'm not I, in theory, am not upset about a snow sequel.

[00:15:06] I am upset that this given a four year window was the best that we could come up with for a movie that has really fun characters and could tell a really fun story. This was not that story. And I'm bummed by it all these years later.

[00:15:23] Now that I've seen it now, I'm bummed. I'm I'm I'm bummed that it happens. I'm bummed that it is a scar on the legacy that is snow. And there's nothing we can do about that now.

[00:15:35] Dano in 2008, I was living in St. Louis, Missouri, and I worked two union jobs UPS during the night clean windows during the day. The entire financial system collapsed. Everyone no one had any money. It all trickled down to us workers. I was lowest on the seniority poll.

[00:15:51] I got laid off of two jobs in 2008, and I didn't know how we were going to literally eat my wife and I. And then someone made this movie. So. And it inspired you? No. Okay. Just to show you that 2008 may have been the worst year on record.

[00:16:12] Someone put out this piece of garbage with their gainful employment. I can't even begin with this movie. Everything you've said is right and not nearly enough. Not enough Ashley Williams, not enough Tom Cavanagh. The premise of this movie is Santa has amnesia, but you can't tell him.

[00:16:34] You can't tell him if you tell him that he has amnesia, he will forever have amnesia. I don't know how it was made. I don't know how it happened. I certainly don't want to watch it again. This was awful. My unless I've tried my best to forget it.

[00:16:52] What I can remember of this movie was so incredibly terrible. It was real tough, real tough time out there makes snow the original look like a full on masterpiece. Aside from all the fields where we talk about what in snow to gave us those fields, Ryan.

[00:17:09] Yeah, I don't know, man. Uh, the club when they decorated it in the box. Yeah, I don't know, man. Ryan Popola bump on Twitch. The club when they decorated it looked okay. It didn't even look great. It looked okay. That was it, Brian. I'll kick it to you.

[00:17:29] Listen, I think Ryan, uh, you would agree with me that a society of people that believe in Santa, we would be invited. You and I, we would be invited and we would go and we would have a wonderful time. This club's sad. It's a sad club.

[00:17:49] So we have this idea that in theory I should be like, sign me up. I'll be there. I'll be for I'll show up early. And now it's like, I don't want to go anywhere near this place. It just seems like it's a, I don't know, multiple code violations.

[00:18:06] I don't understand it as much like a library as they could in theory. It's something that I should be very excited by. And so I'm going to go with the theory as my feels. Dan real quick, just real quick, just to get serious for one second. Thank you.

[00:18:23] The secret Santa society and the mythos of that and Nick's parents could have been the movie. Yes. Like, like that could, I'm not saying it would have been, but that could have been a really cool movie. Sprinkle it in. Like barely. It's it's on.

[00:18:38] Here's the thing is this movie, and I don't even know if it was in your synopsis features a weird dude that is the rule book. Do you know what I'm talking about? What was his name? Oh, I don't know.

[00:18:47] Barnaby Barnaby, the rule Barnaby Jones Barnaby, the rule book Scribner, like whatever his name is, be Jones. This movie has a secret Santa society where everyone feels his jingle all the way. I don't know. My feels is true to Barnaby Jones. Right.

[00:19:06] As sin bad, you should love that. Yeah, I should, but it's not good. We're rewatching it. You and I, we are rewatching it. There's nothing that you can do about it. I want to, I want to give it another shot.

[00:19:16] Makes me so mad that you don't like it. I finally watched Christmas with the Cranks last year. Awful movie. I'm not surprised you don't like that. Better than I remember Jingle all the way. I'm so I'm so I'm not surprised that you don't like Christmas with the Cranks.

[00:19:28] I'm shocked that you don't like Jingle all the way. Can't stand it. I'd be more than willing to give it another go. Maybe I'm wrong. You've seen it one time. Yeah, maybe I'm wrong. I'm not. Listen, you're right about so much. Here are my feels.

[00:19:40] Secret Santa Society is like a library and there's an actual living rule book. This is the Christmas movie for Brian Harold. That is my feels. That's funny. So you would love it. I think Brian walked out. He didn't even get to hear it. Oh man.

[00:19:56] Oh, oh, he's got headphones on. He's not paying attention. Let's take a quick break. We'll come back with the weight. What and what the homework here on. Take the hallmark. Welcome back, everybody. We're talking about snow to colon brain freeze. It's great to be back.

[00:20:19] Did you just wave at the people? Yeah, you did. I was watching on Frilo. Oh, sweet. That was sweet of you. Oh man. Let's talk about the way. What's where we talk about what in this room is go. Wait, what's Ryan? I kept it to three.

[00:20:33] You know, I'm a nice guy. This this kid, Ryan, not me sees Sandy kidnapped into different realms of existence. His immediate response to that was to figure that the mirror could make him some money. He's not kid of the year. He might be worse kid. Like what?

[00:20:49] Not not a nice person. Nick tells Ryan indoors to hold on to this snow. I'm here to tell Nick snow melts, dude. And then one more. I'm just going to read this verbatim.

[00:21:01] Henry's daughter has been in the same space as Ryan for all of three minutes and said approximately no words to him and then finds out that she's adopting him because her dad said so. No two ruled. Yeah, so it's all so good.

[00:21:15] I have a few one in the conflict at the beginning of this movie is because of reindeer training and she says you promised me no reindeer training before dinner. Why is that rule in place?

[00:21:30] I feel like the reindeer should be able to be trained before or after dinner. Whatever works best for them as the reindeer to say no reindeer training before dinner. That doesn't leave very much time. It's dark. It's the North Pole. It's gonna be so dark.

[00:21:43] You got to do some training during the day, too. Yeah, you're at night. The whole thing's at night. Why wouldn't you train? Hey, right. Can I ask you a question? Sure. Did Buck call her Bobcat last movie? Yeah, he did.

[00:21:55] Okay, this is not a this is not a Dom Brian Buster situation. They established the heck out of it. Does he call? Does he call her Bobcat as much in snow one? I think it's more in snow two. I mean, that's the other thing.

[00:22:09] Like, I mean, that's the biggest weight. One of these movies is Sandy even hanging out with this guy. Yeah, any circumstance. Anyone that calls you Bobcat just stay away. It's a weird nickname, especially if it calls you that that many times. Hey, Bobcat.

[00:22:22] At one point, I don't remember who it was said Boobus Tubus when talking about the TV. Yes, so that's fun. Last but not least, I think it's I don't know. I don't know who it is. Again, it's been a long time.

[00:22:36] But the the indication is that it is a belief that marriage is dead. And he I have that. Okay, okay. I'll hand it off here. Santa at one point says who said make a baton? I got it. Thank you. Olympics. You check it out. What is that?

[00:22:58] O L O L Y M. It's pears on peacock. You can find most of it. Yes. He says who says marriage is dead, huh? Was that ever was somebody like? Was there a group of people that are like marriage is dead? Like, is there?

[00:23:11] Is that a war on marriage? Yeah. Wild Facebook group. Yeah. What a Facebook marriage is dead. Yeah. Hey, there's a mom. There's half of what I have written down here. I don't remember anything about. So I'm not going to use like, for instance, someone says I don't sneak.

[00:23:25] I turn slowly. I don't know why that is. That is a thing. It's a funny line. Um, I just have written written down blackmailing a doctor. These all sound like panic at the disco. They do. They do. You're right. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:23:37] It's a, it's a, I'm actually unveiling the track list for the new, my chemical romance. I don't sneak. Ah, crystal Kringle. I don't sneak. I turn slowly. Yeah. Blackmailing a doctor. Uh, all these really good stuff. Um, I don't see. I just turn slowly. That's it. That's it.

[00:23:57] That's a single. We got a little round the doctor's door. Um, thanks, right there. What they're doing is, is there, they're using old music and putting new lyrics in and they think people are going to buy it. They thought maybe the lyrics didn't age well or something.

[00:24:12] I don't know. Um, panic version, panic at the Kris Kringle. Uh, here's the thing. Here's what I do remember about this movie. There is a news crew live interviewing patients with head injuries.

[00:24:33] There is a news crew that has made their way into the hospital and found patients that have active head injuries. There's no waivers. There's no permission. They're just, they're going, what do you think about blah, blah, blah to people who are trying to recover from head injuries.

[00:24:51] And that's a move even for snow to colon brain freeze. That's a move. I think that's a, that's a bit much even for, for them. The fact that she can't tell her husband he's Santa or he might forget it forever.

[00:25:02] Is the biggest logical leap we have to clear here and we never ever clear it. And then my last one, oh no, no, there's one other one. There's someone in this secret Santa society that they say left the society because they

[00:25:15] lost the faith, which to me, the only thing crazier than a secret society where people believe in Santa is someone being that committed and go, you know what? I just lost it. I don't have any, I lost the faith. I don't, I've seen, actually isn't real.

[00:25:30] I thought he was so much to join this secret library society, but I guess he's not. And I've made a huge error. Was that for those watching on filo Aaron? Was that cut to me because of the, you lost your Christmas spirit because of the lie,

[00:25:45] the slander that has been a pep talk from George Feeney. I hope it helps some, but I mean, you still did lose your Christmas spirit. I'm like, it was really kind of you to do that.

[00:25:55] I'm like borderline real PO that's the one thing time I ever get a message. This is the perfect gift is George Feeney talk to you, but also knows that you've lost your Christmas spirit. Can you not just, can you not for a second, not do a bit?

[00:26:14] George Feeney, 94 year old George Feeney. That's right. Thinks that you lost your Christmas spirit. George Feeney is going to one day, one day, hopefully a long time from now, but one day he's going to pass away. And the only thing he knows about me is a lie man.

[00:26:32] That one guy in June doesn't have his Christmas spirit. I hope he's okay, man. That's messed up, man. I don't go around saying lies about you. You look, buddy, you lost your Christmas. I had did not the first, the first step. Don't you dare jump on this?

[00:26:50] Is it not? Don't you dare, you know, better brand. You just have to acknowledge it's a problem. You're in denial. The only problem I have is you. You're in denial bargaining anger. We got to get to acceptance, buddy.

[00:27:03] This sounds like anger, but you've not gotten past denial yet. We got to get there, buddy. I'm here to help. Don't cry because you lost it. Smile. Cause George Feeney hopefully helps you find it. That's right. Right. Exactly. It's messed up, Brian.

[00:27:17] If you had your Christmas spirit, you wouldn't be getting a whole bit out of shape about it. That's not true. Yeah, it is. If someone's spreading lies about you. It's not a lie, buddy. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. You automated tree. All right. Dan hates the Yankees. Hire somebody.

[00:27:28] Automated. Dan poops to bed every night. Dan poops to bed every night. It's no longer even a fake tree. It's an automated tree. It's an automated tree. Bank, bank, bank. I will light up for those without light in their hearts. Merry Christmas, Brian. Whatever. Whatever.

[00:27:43] It's the Rocky four robot. Hire somebody to decorate his house. Whatever. I don't even care anymore. Whatever. Phoning it in. Phoning it in with his automated tree. Whatever helps you sleep in your poop filled bed at night, Dan. I poop to bed every night. Big bed poop.

[00:27:57] You see how I just admitted it? Yeah, but that's your... That's all you gotta do is admit it, bud. Then you can start. I'm not gonna admit it because I know it's gonna be used against me. No, we would never. You guys would.

[00:28:09] You guys would trick me into saying a lie. George Feeney thinks that you don't have any Christmas spirit. You lost it. And so the least you could do... Now I'm gonna have to spend money getting a cameo from George just to make sure that he knows that

[00:28:23] it was sent a lie. And tell me I won't empty my bank account out cameoing you on this. Brian, would you like to watch Snow 2 again? Where are we? Is it what the hallmark? I think it's what the hallmark. Yeah, sure. What the hallmark. What the hallmark.

[00:28:42] Brian, what are you still wondering about? Thanks, Bobcat. How'd we get here? Bran mentioned this earlier. How did we get here? That's a good question. How did we get here? I'm gonna sue you. If you don't stop, I'm going to serve you. And that's tough for me. Yeah.

[00:29:03] You got served, man. That is someone without... That's a move from someone without Christmas spirit. What? That I'm gonna fight? Lost wolf. That I'm gonna fight? Yeah. Yeah. You guys are slandering my good name. The Christmas spirit overcomes all.

[00:29:14] Typically pacifists are those who possess the Christmas spirit fighting, not really what I think of when I think of Christmas. Yeah. Sorry, go ahead, Ryan. How did we get here? Yeah. Yeah, like, I mean, they could have... They should have come up with something better.

[00:29:28] And I wish Bran still had Christmas. I hope all of you die soon. Man, your heart is dark. No, then I would be free. Your heart is dark. I'd be free from this treachery that is my life now. Your heart is so dark.

[00:29:41] You guys have taken something from me. It's bitter. You guys have taken something from me. We need a little Christmas right this very minute. Hasn't snowed a single flurry, but Brandon has lost all of it. Oh, God, it will workshop the lyrics. Mine is when's Snow 3 coming out?

[00:30:02] Since time doesn't matter in between these sequels, I think we're due now. When is Snow 3 coming out? And is his brain going to be freezier? Freezing, brain frozen. Brone frozen. Brain frozen. Brone frozen. Brone frozen. Hi, I'm Brone frozen. Dano?

[00:30:17] Mine with the Hallmark is more of a feels. I'm kind of sad Christmas in July is coming to an end. I was really getting into the Christmas spirit. And it's tough for me because I want that kind of festive energy all year long. It is such...

[00:30:28] But it's a tough... It's a hostile work environment for that. Such a bunch of malarkey from this guy who all month has been like, why are we doing this? Why are we doing this? It's a little Christmas. Right? It's very manic. That's right. Yeah. I forgot that.

[00:30:41] I forgot it was still July. I had changed the camera to include the Christmas tree and Brand went over, took it out of the shot. Should tell you all you need to know. Brand, what's your new favorite holiday? Flag day. It's flag day.

[00:30:54] Ryan, you didn't have to do this. You didn't have to jump in on this. We do a fun thing. We pod parades together. We have a kinship and you didn't have to join this. The thing about Ryan is, is he has to tell the truth.

[00:31:09] It's nothing we can do. Well, we were going to come back Friday. Everybody sends some money for Brand's Christmas spirit. We were going to start... What's the money going to do? It's going to maybe help us recover as a business. We're going to be back on Friday.

[00:31:22] We're starting Force Fridays, everybody. Very excited about that. With episode four, we're starting with episode four, a new hope student for that. No one else to say anything about snow too? We're good. We'll be back then until then, Merry Christmas. Except for Brand.

[00:31:56] Brand, stop trying to burn the Christmas tree. You're about to hear some ads that help keep the lights on here in the old studio. Thanks for listening or don't listen. It's really up to you at this point. It's at the end of the show.

[00:32:15] I mean, you're listening to me, hi. But here they come. I promise they're coming. Yep, here they are. Happy day.
