[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm Bran and I love the Chicken Sisters.
[00:00:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, I'm Jax and I like the Chicken Sisters.
[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Hi, I'm Dan and I despise the Chicken Sisters.
[00:00:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.
[00:00:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Wow, wow, wow. Hello everybody.
[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Happy Friday.
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Happy Friday.
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Fry-yay.
[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Fry-yay if you will.
[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Chicken Sister Friday.
[00:00:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Chicken Fried Day Sisters.
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not bad.
[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_01]: That's good.
[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_01]: In fact it's good.
[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's downright good.
[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It's great to be here.
[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Your intro was spicy.
[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It sounded like you were going to say, and here's the news.
[00:00:59] [SPEAKER_01]: You're like, I'm Bran.
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Here's the news.
[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Go to this camera for me.
[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello and welcome to another episode of the Chicken Sisters.
[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Bram, for this, it was really good by the way.
[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_02]: For the thing we're doing for South Carolina Public Radio,
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_02]: we get to say occasionally, but first the news from NPR.
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: We do get to say that, which is a fun thing to say.
[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel qualified.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You don't say it with that much gusto.
[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't feel qualified to kick it to the news.
[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_01]: No, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: But first, the news from NPR.
[00:01:31] [SPEAKER_01]: But first, the news.
[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The news from NPR.
[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_04]: You could do audio box.
[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's some jazz music.
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_02]: He can't because the reading part would be very difficult.
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_04]: You could memorize it though.
[00:01:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I feel like he'd probably be really good at that.
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Danny Carlomingo.
[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_04]: It's wrong!
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying it's wrong.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, cut.
[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not Carlomingo.
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's go from the top.
[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: It's actually Juan, not Ju-Juan.
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: He did that.
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_01]: He did that, Jax.
[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_04]: In earnest?
[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, in earnest.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: You want to take back your audio book statement?
[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_04]: You have so many other talents.
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: There it is.
[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: There it is.
[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_02]: There she is.
[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_02]: The cat.
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The cat in the hat.
[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Red.
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_01]: What if children's books were read with that type of-
[00:02:23] [SPEAKER_01]: With Morgan Freeman?
[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It's great to be here today on a Friday talking-
[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01]: No one knows who Sam I am.
[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That's not bad.
[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Talking chicken sisters.
[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Can you do dragons love tacos in Morgan Freeman, please?
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: How do I know dragons love tacos?
[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Do they like it when it's spicy?
[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Do they like it when the tacos are spicy, Morgan?
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Get rid of all the spicy salsa.
[00:02:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Dig a hole.
[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Pant loads of tacos.
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Pant loads of tacos.
[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, Morgan, can you say pant loads of tacos?
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Pant loads.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: That's not a good Morgan Freeman.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It is for me now.
[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like a C minus Morgan Freeman.
[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_01]: It's okay.
[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm enjoying it.
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Jacks, also Merry Christmas is in order.
[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_01]: The new schedule is out.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations to us.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations to Erin Shea for picking the day correctly.
[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I know.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: It was huge.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_01]: This was huge.
[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Did any movies stick out to you, Jacks, that you're especially excited about?
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I know we'll be previewing the movies soon, but is there anyone that stuck out to you?
[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Anything that was really like, whew.
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I am super excited about the lesbian one.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think we all are.
[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I think it's going to be really, really great.
[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_00]: Man, shooting your shot there.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Boy, howdy.
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Those two women are attractive and I can't wait to see them kiss.
[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I just hope it doesn't get dropped before the holiday season.
[00:03:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That'd be unfortunate.
[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_04]: Not with talents like that.
[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_04]: No, you can't.
[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_01]: No, you wouldn't.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_04]: You would never.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_04]: You would never.
[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_01]: We would never.
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_04]: What about you, Bran?
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I already talked about it a little bit yesterday.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, I'm always excited about Palaha.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Palaha, Lacey Chabert.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm excited about that.
[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Three Wives and the Baby Sequel.
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And the Baby-er.
[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Stuff like that.
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The stables are exciting.
[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But there's some ones that I think will be a pleasant surprise.
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Can't believe they're doing another Carousel movie.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you believe that?
[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I think you maybe looked at the wrong schedule.
[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, maybe I did.
[00:04:28] [SPEAKER_01]: My bad.
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But we will be previewing all of the movies in the coming weeks.
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I believe Jack's going to be joining us for that, which should be a lot of fun.
[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it might be our first ever all-play preview show.
[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Color me still not interested.
[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, I guess take the day off whenever those drop.
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: No kidding.
[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be a full day situation.
[00:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: And also lots to look forward to on Hallmark.
[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Plus, apparently this holiday season, don't know how we're going to get to it all.
[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But first we've got to get through the Chicken Sisters.
[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And I mean that in a good way because we're watching it right now and it's been a lot of fun.
[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's going to take us right up to the holiday season.
[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: If math, we'll see how it all shakes out.
[00:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: We're ready to dive into episode three of the Chicken Sisters, which is called...
[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Baby, You Were Born to Run.
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, Jacks, what's it called?
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Infidelity.
[00:05:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow, no.
[00:05:22] [SPEAKER_02]: You think they give away the whole episode in the title?
[00:05:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Cheaters in the kitchen after dark with flour.
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Leah Thompson catches them.
[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the name of the episode, there's nothing we can do.
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Caught to the future.
[00:05:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Back to the future before I get...
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Episode's called Desperado.
[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Desperado.
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: There you go.
[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Man.
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_01]: What's that about?
[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_01]: What's that mean?
[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Desperate?
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, oh, is that what it is?
[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_01]: I would assume so.
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: All right, it is desperate.
[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It went a little something like this.
[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_01]: The episode begins showing the differences between Amanda and May.
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda holds on to things that remind her of happy memories,
[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_01]: while May gets rid of all the stuff so that she can plan for the future.
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_01]: We then see May...
[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_01]: A desperado's a desperate person.
[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[00:06:16] [SPEAKER_01]: We see that May has been lying about her family to her fiance for a long time
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and has no plans on how she's possibly going to introduce them
[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_01]: whenever that time comes.
[00:06:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Cut to present day, and Gus is shocked to see that the sign has been vandalized
[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_01]: at the end of last episode.
[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: She knows exactly who it was, May,
[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and she tells May, fix it.
[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Fix it!
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Nancy goes to tell Frank Jr. that she sees so much of his dad in him
[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and hands him a plaque of the Gentleman's Guide to Business
[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: that hung on his dad's wall.
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: That encourages him to dress for success
[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: and actually act like he cares about his wife, Amanda.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure it's going to last for a long time.
[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So long, yeah.
[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda doesn't wait long to get back at her sister
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: by sabotaging the sweet tea.
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, you mean that sweet tea?
[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Sweet tea.
[00:07:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And Sergio knows exactly who it was and is very upset at her.
[00:07:18] [SPEAKER_01]: May tells Gus that at least the sweet tea situation is good for TV.
[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Gus tells May that she's in the red.
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Good for TV doesn't matter if I still don't have money,
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_01]: and this sweet tea debacle could be the final straw.
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Final straw.
[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda is very impressed by the new and improved Frank Jr.,
[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_01]: hasn't seen him this excited, and why?
[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_01]: May goes to get back at Amanda
[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_01]: by buying up all of the chicken from the supplier
[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_01]: so that the restaurant will run out of chicken,
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and then they can sell it to them at an upcharge.
[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_01]: It's dirty? It's dirty.
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a little bit dirtier than the sweet tea situation,
[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but I don't know. What do I know?
[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_01]: This turns into a whole argument between the four of them.
[00:08:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda mad that Gus only seems to love May,
[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: tells Gus that the only reason May is here
[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: is because she got fired from her TV show
[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and just wants to be on TV again.
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Shots are being fired all over the place.
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_01]: She goes and is ranting to Frank Jr.,
[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and he's like, you know what? Let's do something about it.
[00:08:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Come back here after I'm going to close up tonight.
[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_01]: I haven't closed up ever.
[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll close up the restaurant, and then you come back here,
[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and we will go, and we will make something happen.
[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Sabrina is in her room looking at the dailies.
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: The power goes off, and a very, very hunky repairman comes in.
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Not only fixes the electrical issues,
[00:08:43] [SPEAKER_01]: but also fixes her computer, and then he leaves.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know how important he is, but I thought I'd include it.
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But he's been in stuff.
[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_01]: He's a good-looking fella, so it's worth mentioning.
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: May tries to talk to Gus, but she's not having it.
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_01]: She always thought that when May came back,
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_01]: they'd be close and maybe even friends,
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_01]: but it's clear that's not going to happen.
[00:09:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda shows up to get Frank Jr.
[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Frank Jr., the gloss of a job well done, has worn off,
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and he's now just sad.
[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't like doing hard work.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_01]: The chicken things are dirty.
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Grease traps.
[00:09:19] [SPEAKER_01]: The grease traps are greasy.
[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_01]: He's been a real dinker,
[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_01]: and she was excited to go and do something with her husband,
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_01]: and now she's just extra mad.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_01]: She's like, I'm out of here.
[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to do something myself, and she puts her hood up.
[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_01]: May shows up at Gus's house.
[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_01]: We see that Gus is still a hoarder,
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and May tells her that the reason why she never came back
[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: is because she continually chose all of her hoarded junk
[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_01]: over her and Amanda
[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_01]: and reminds her that all of that is just junk.
[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_01]: We're your children.
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty intense.
[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Amanda breaks into the restaurant
[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and is just going nuts,
[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_01]: cutting the flour, throwing stuff all over the place.
[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_01]: She's about to unplug the fridge.
[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Sergio walks in, and he's like, what are you doing?
[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, I'm done playing nice.
[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm done being safe.
[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_01]: And he's like, oh, yeah.
[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And then they make out hard, lifts her up,
[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_01]: puts her on the counter.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_01]: They're kissing hard, and then you hear a...
[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And they look over,
[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and Leah Thompson's staring through the window
[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_01]: in disappointment.
[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And that, my friends, was...
[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_01]: The Chicken Sisters, season one, episode three.
[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Desperado.
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_01]: How about a...
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: That's Despacito.
[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Got it.
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Desperado.
[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a quick break.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll come back.
[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll break this juicy episode of television down here on...
[00:10:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Deck the Hallmark.
[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back, everybody.
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It's Friday.
[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It is great to be talking about another episode
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_01]: of The Chicken Sisters with my friends,
[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's time to break this episode down
[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: into three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13.
[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Four segments.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Three, four segments.
[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Three or four.
[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I almost forgot about chicken or fried.
[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: That's on me.
[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah.
[00:11:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's start with that.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Mammies or frannies.
[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, let's start with...
[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to put it that way.
[00:11:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Where you say if something this week is chicken...
[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It is scared or it is fraught.
[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It's ready to go.
[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_02]: To a crisp.
[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Golden brown.
[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: But we're going to start with a hot take.
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get there.
[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to start with a hot take.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: We're going to share exactly how we felt about this episode of television.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Jax, a lot going on in this episode.
[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think about it?
[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, boy, howdy.
[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_04]: It's my favorite so far.
[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm loving Skylar Fiske, now that I know how to say your name.
[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, Dan.
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_04]: She also reposted our review and was so sweet.
[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, really?
[00:11:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[00:11:49] [SPEAKER_04]: She's like, oh, I lost the link.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Can I have it back?
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And I gave it to her, and I was like, we really liked your work,
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_04]: and I was like bracking my brain to make sure to remember that we did say good things about her.
[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I raved.
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_02]: She's the best thing on the show.
[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying that now.
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I said it already.
[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's great.
[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I said that.
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_04]: I said, Dan, who's usually the toughest cookie, especially loved your performance.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_04]: There you go.
[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_04]: So I think this is a gosh darn delight.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm loving it.
[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm loving that the teenagers are a little bit nicer in this episode,
[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_04]: even though, you know, one of them was bribed to do it.
[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_04]: I was excited that Frank Jr. was a little bit nice to begin with,
[00:12:25] [SPEAKER_04]: and then he just went way down, and now I can't stand him more than I ever hated him.
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I just cannot.
[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_04]: This man needs to be gone.
[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_04]: In the book, Sheila told me in the book he's already dead.
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_02]: He's dead to her here in the show.
[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: When you say already dead, or do you know something we don't about the television program?
[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, he and his dad died, unfortunately, in the same accident in the book.
[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a mining accident by Gowan, and they moved.
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_04]: We're really combining it with our favorite Hallmark show.
[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought that this episode had so much.
[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Wendy Malick is just on fire, an incredible scene with her daughter Mae that I'll talk about more later.
[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_04]: This ending, I mean, I'm interested to hear what you guys think,
[00:13:14] [SPEAKER_04]: because we knew that this is where it was going with Sergio,
[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_04]: but one, I didn't think it would happen so fast,
[00:13:20] [SPEAKER_04]: and two, I thought maybe they would kiss in episode five, and by episode ten,
[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_04]: her infidelity would be caught out.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the anti-Wind Calls the Heart.
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: 100%.
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I was going to say, we're not at Hope Valley anymore, folks.
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: What we've seen in three episodes is more than you would see in three seasons of Wind Calls the Heart.
[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Drama, sex, all of it.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I am just surprised, especially that Leah Thompson caught them.
[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_04]: We called them.
[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_04]: We called them, Dan.
[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Wait, did you guys? What did you say?
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We were watching it, and then she's in there, and Sergio comes in,
[00:14:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and I was like, they're about to make out.
[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_02]: As soon as I said that, Brain goes, and Leah Thompson's going to catch her.
[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Because, you know, right before that scene, right before.
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_02]: She says beforehand, she goes and talks to Frank Jr.
[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: Frank Jr.'s like, she's going to go do something right now.
[00:14:12] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, oh, she's going to go over to try to stop her, and she's going to catch her.
[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: They made it make sense, which I appreciated.
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_01]: She wasn't just randomly there.
[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Now, Brann, although I will say, in your very well-written synopsis,
[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_04]: you said that Leah Thompson looked disappointed.
[00:14:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Did she, or was she a little titillated by it?
[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I didn't pick up any titillation, but again, I don't have the eye for that.
[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: If you say she was titillated, I'll take your word for it.
[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever gets Brann out of this conversation fast.
[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, to me, I spy disappointment, but one person's disappointment may seem like someone else's titillation.
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_01]: This episode of Rules, it's great.
[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm all in on this show.
[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Dan, it has been a long time since, I think maybe since season one of The Way Home
[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_01]: that an episode of television on the Hallmark Channel has gotten me out of my seat.
[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: You were in full cocaine mode.
[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I said it.
[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I said, that's good TV.
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_01]: That's good TV.
[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: This episode of TV, if you're trying to cut back on cocaine or trying to avoid it all together,
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_01]: this is a great episode of television for you.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you say? It's chicken or fried?
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I say it's chicken.
[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's fried.
[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_01]: This episode of Rules, it's so good.
[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I honestly can't believe that they pulled this in episode three.
[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_01]: The chicken's now steak and the steaks are high.
[00:15:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Am I saying that? Am I getting that right? Mixed metaphors?
[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so excited to see where this show is going to go.
[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_01]: And if there's one thing that this is showing me, it's that Hallmark Plus ain't playing by the Hallmark Channel rules.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_01]: They can do what they want over there, and I love it.
[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: All in on Chicken Sisters.
[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Dan?
[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I actually had written down the chicken's now steak and the steaks are high, so you stole that from me.
[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't believe I had that written down. I'm sorry.
[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the best of the three episodes.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not particularly fond of the hoarding stuff because I think everything else is so ripe for a soapy fun.
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Who am I pulling for?
[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_01]: What's your problem with the hoarding stuff?
[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the hoarding stuff speaks to a mental illness aspect that they're not going to take seriously nor give the proper due to.
[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think they have.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't think they have, nor will they.
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think people that are children of this, that are suffering from it,
[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_02]: the first true thing that was said was the thing that Mae says in the episode.
[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say, you don't think that that was an honest look at the content?
[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I just don't think they're going to give the mental illness side of it what it deserves,
[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_02]: nor are they going to give the trauma side of it what it deserves.
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_02]: That's my only complaint.
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_02]: This is the best episode of the three.
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really soapy.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't know what's going to happen next because it seems like Hallmark has pulled the brakes off of the normal content restrictions that they have on these television programs.
[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that lends itself to really fun television.
[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_02]: By and large, a really strong Skylar Fisk.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I believe her 100% as Southern in her hometown, but at odds with her mother.
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I think by and large, the performances make a lot of sense and really work.
[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_02]: I also just think, I don't know.
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the hoarding thing also for Gus's character, I just wish Wendy Malick would have something else to do.
[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_02]: She's better as a bad guy without a mental illness, I guess is the short version.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And so that would be my one restraint on it.
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was weird that they just kind of flip-flop with Frank Jr. for no reason whatsoever.
[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I think that there's a lot here that we can keep.
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Can they keep hitting us with twists?
[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if they have the ability to sustain this because it does.
[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_02]: It's got a very soap opera feel to it.
[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't have the weight of The Way Home, but the acting is good and the story is fun.
[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's pulpy and you're like, what's going to happen next?
[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And so yeah, I'm down.
[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm here for some chicken sisters.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_01]: He's here for some chicken sisters.
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_01]: But listen, the chicken is now steaks and steaks are high.
[00:18:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Chickens are steaks.
[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Don't you forget it.
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time for all the feels.
[00:18:30] [SPEAKER_01]: We're talking about what in this episode gave us feels of any sorts.
[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Jax.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_04]: So Wendy Malick absolutely destroyed me in the best way possible in this episode when she tells Mae
[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_04]: how grateful she is that she's back.
[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when we had the scene where Mae goes to her house and we see this reckoning that they're having,
[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_04]: I just think Wendy Malick is incredible.
[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And even the look on her face when Amanda tells her that Mae is only back because she got fired.
[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_04]: There is so much hurt.
[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh my gosh.
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_04]: You can feel it.
[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_04]: It's guttural.
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_01]: She does so many little things with her reactions.
[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_01]: When Mae goes off on her about the hoarding and you can see she's a little bit choked up,
[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_01]: but she still in a very southern way says, are you quite done?
[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: If you've been in the South long enough, you've seen that.
[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You've seen somebody instead of facing that type of conversation just as like, let me get out of here.
[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you done?
[00:19:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I want to get out of here.
[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: But you can see it affecting her, but she's trying not to show it.
[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_01]: She's trying not to let Mae in.
[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And just like her house, she is filled.
[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: She's put up.
[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying to do some sort of beautiful thing here.
[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I see what you're trying to do.
[00:19:47] [SPEAKER_01]: She's hoarded her mind.
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: There's something there.
[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll work on it.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll workshop it.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: It's there.
[00:19:52] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll workshop it.
[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I think, Bran, there is something there.
[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And I think if they were using you to consult on how to handle this hoarding as a mental
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_04]: illness venom on the show, we'd be better off for it.
[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You think so?
[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I do.
[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I also have to say that the writing on this show, I have so many feels.
[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_04]: There are so many good lines, but just two that particularly stood out.
[00:20:15] [SPEAKER_04]: And this is an acting moment too.
[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_04]: But when Skylar has the line, I don't think about you at all.
[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And then she says it over and over.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_04]: And she's like, that's a good one.
[00:20:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't think about you at all.
[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_04]: So darn cute.
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when Leah Thompson sees Frank Jr. in a mess of beers and says, unwinding is
[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_04]: a bubble bath in a candle.
[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Five beers is a spring break.
[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, that's right, girl.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great line.
[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: A great line.
[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_04]: It's a good line.
[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I thought hell would have to freeze over before I saw somebody on Hallmark lift
[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: another person up onto a counter filled with flour.
[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Especially when one of them is married to someone else.
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Not like let alone just a regular standard kiss.
[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I didn't think I'd ever see that type of kiss on this network.
[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And sure enough, not only is it a crazy kiss that I didn't see coming, it is a kiss between
[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_01]: a married woman and the rival cook.
[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, listen, it's ripe.
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's ripe.
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Again, I don't want to keep banging a dead horse, but the steaks, they're hot.
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They're high.
[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_02]: You are not going to keep banging a dead horse.
[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Please, can we please edit it just a little bit so it doesn't sound like brands of creme.
[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So I, Oh, okay.
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to keep beating a dead horse.
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that better?
[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a little bit better.
[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead, Dan.
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_01]: You're the pervert.
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I got Brian full tears in the other room over here.
[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey, can you give me grace for once in your GD life?
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_01]: You knew what I meant.
[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Just give me a little gray.
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian Keir, stop banging that horse.
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Just get, just extend me a little bit of grace.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, colloquialisms are tough for me.
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Why do you keep going to that?
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Well then why don't you try to bang that dead horse?
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to try to, you know, let people, I'm a, I'm a, I talked for a living, believe it
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_01]: or not.
[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I got to try to explain myself the way I know how.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes that's by banging the dead horse.
[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_00]: All right, give me the horse.
[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, absolutely.
[00:22:28] Yeah.
[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You have anything to say about this?
[00:22:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.
[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Go on.
[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_02]: My, my feels of this show, if I could try to get us on the rails, which is really tough
[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_02]: here.
[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_02]: My feels is this week is Rekia Bernard.
[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I think she like the fact that first of all, they've updated IMDB since we last spoke, which
[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_02]: is great to her.
[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, but whoever is editing it did a great job because now we see the cast in
[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_02]: not in order of appearance, but in order of like probably the call sheet, which is great.
[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Also Rekia Bernard.
[00:23:02] [SPEAKER_04]: You can also add yourself on IMDB.
[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Wow.
[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Should we add ourselves and see what happens?
[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I think so.
[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_04]: It has to be approved by the production.
[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, gotcha.
[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's listed in order of the star meter.
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the star meter.
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Your star meter.
[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's not listed on order of the call sheet.
[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_04]: It's listed on order of your star meter ranking on IMDB.
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: But can somebody go in and change that?
[00:23:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Change the order?
[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_04]: No, so like your star meter is whatever it is, but usually your star meter is lower,
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_04]: which is better.
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: But like there's some movies that have some pretty big cameos like in the theaters.
[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: And when you go to look their stuff up on IMDB, they're not listed for that.
[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Those cameos wouldn't be listed first, even though their star meter would be higher.
[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_02]: There's a way for somebody to go in and change it.
[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_04]: Usually when you go to the cast list, it's in order of their ranking.
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_04]: That's interesting though that it's not.
[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, like if you were to look up like Samuel L. Jackson when Iron Man came out,
[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_02]: he wouldn't be first on the Iron Man call list.
[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_02]: He wouldn't be on that.
[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_02]: No.
[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_02]: But he would be probably his star meter.
[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_02]: He and RDJ's star meter would be the highest.
[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But he would be way down the list because you didn't want it.
[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's save this for our IMDB pod.
[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's really good.
[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: So they fixed it.
[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Rekia Bernardi is now listed as a cast member.
[00:24:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And what she's doing is really like sneaky, and it's really good stuff.
[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Like she's bribing her kid to get information to produce a better television show.
[00:24:29] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like every producer in that Lifetime show.
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Was it Unreal that aired?
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so good.
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The first season of Unreal was great television.
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: After that, a little wonky.
[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_02]: But the first season was really, really good.
[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_02]: And Rekia Bernardi is hitting all of these beats and doing so with a lot of relish.
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And I really appreciate the fact that at some point, they're all going to turn on her.
[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So at some point in this show, the greatest, the enemy of my enemy is my friend or whatever.
[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_02]: That whole thing.
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: At some point, the sisters are going to work together.
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_02]: The two sisters and the mom are going to work together because they're going to realize
[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_02]: that Rekia Bernardi is trying to make them look worse for her profit and her gain.
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think that that's a really good, you don't really have a rooting interest right now.
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I think rooting interest could be across the board in this show of who you're pulling for.
[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I think everyone's flawed.
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone has issues.
[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you pulling for Frannies or Mimis?
[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you pulling for May?
[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you pulling for, you know, like you're pulling for, who are you pulling for?
[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_02]: But it's going to turn on Rekia Bernardi.
[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'm loving the fact that even when she's not on screen, you're wondering what is she up to?
[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What's she doing?
[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's the mark of a good villain and a good actor.
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_02]: So my feels is Rekia Bernardi this week.
[00:25:44] [SPEAKER_02]: And that kiss was pretty great.
[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Kiss was pretty great.
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a quick break.
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll come back and we'll get to the wait what and the chicken or fried.
[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Chicken or fried sweeping the nation.
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Here on Take the Hallmark.
[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome back everybody.
[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_02]: We've been doing this a long time.
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think anything's worse than I don't want to keep it.
[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't want to do what you said in the last segment.
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, I think if you take it to the tape, there's worse out there.
[00:26:15] All right.
[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: You're talking to me?
[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_01]: We have that montage queued up.
[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Go ahead and cue that clip.
[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Guys, sorry.
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry.
[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe I'm in the wrong business, but it's too late.
[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_01]: You're stuck with me.
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_01]: We are talking Chicken Sisters at three.
[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time for the wait what.
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, these are actually legit.
[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Wait, what's that?
[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_04]: I have questions for you guys because I don't understand some about
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Southern culture.
[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_04]: Do they keep putting in the icebox?
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_04]: That woman who got.
[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Is there something we do?
[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Pudding needs to stay cold.
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess if you have a surplus of them, you keep them in the icebox and
[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_01]: then put them in the fridge to thaw.
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: I lived the first 18 years of my life in towns smaller than 1500 people,
[00:27:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and I never once heard the term icebox.
[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Not once.
[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: And I don't claim to represent all of the South.
[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure it's something people still say.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We said the fridge.
[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: That term was tough, but putting in the fridge.
[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, absolutely.
[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_02]: But the icebox, the freezer is the icebox.
[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: The freezer that would be my understanding is an icebox.
[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I would have.
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_01]: You would have assumed that the icebox is the fridge.
[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Something to keep something cold, like a cooler.
[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, interesting.
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know anything about nothing, so I'm going to look it up now.
[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_01]: What else, Jax?
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, and okay.
[00:27:44] [SPEAKER_04]: When May goes to get the chicken.
[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a non.
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry.
[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sorry, Jax.
[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a non mechanical refrigerator, which was common in the early
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: 20th century before the electrical refrigerator.
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I put my putting in the fridge.
[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you put your putting in the fridge for sure.
[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I would happily put it in the fridge.
[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_04]: I just didn't know if iceboxes were a thing that you guys know.
[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: That was part of clearly it was 100 years ago.
[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: So, you know, there's that.
[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I love how how horned up she was for Sergio.
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when May goes to get the chickens to steal them, you know,
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_04]: right out of her sister's right out from under her nose.
[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And she says she's talking to that really, really sweet gentleman.
[00:28:31] [SPEAKER_04]: And he's like, I'm so glad you're back home.
[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_04]: She said it's always nice to meet a fan.
[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_04]: And then when they hug, she says something like, how's aunt something?
[00:28:41] [SPEAKER_04]: And I was like, is this man supposed to be her uncle?
[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Do you guys hear that?
[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I did not hear that.
[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't hear that.
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I guess I was just she was clearly uncomfortable.
[00:28:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I'll have to go back and see what she said because I didn't notice that.
[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought that it was just she was just uncomfortable by the hug.
[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, and maybe I like replayed it three times and I was trying to I
[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: couldn't actually hear the words, but I thought it was it said house and
[00:29:09] [SPEAKER_04]: something when she's actually hugging him.
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what I thought she was saying.
[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_04]: And I thought the joke was like, that's her uncle and she's treating him
[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_04]: like, you know, he's a fan.
[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04]: But either way, I was just confused by the interaction.
[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't think it was a creepy hug.
[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Really?
[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, maybe we misread that.
[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_04]: No.
[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I guess I guess I'm a little too, you know, loosey goosey with my
[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_04]: boundaries.
[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.
[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Interesting thing to say.
[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that it?
[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_04]: That's it.
[00:29:38] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.
[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a kick out of, you know, that we have this the plaque for the
[00:29:43] [SPEAKER_01]: gentleman's guide to business.
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And I don't know if this is this plaque is an order of importance or not.
[00:29:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But the number one, the first one is never extend a sweaty palm.
[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, is that the most important part of business?
[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't be.
[00:29:57] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it should be on the list.
[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, maybe I don't know.
[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Never extended.
[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So you're telling me it would be better in business if a business person
[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: extends a palm and you realize that yours is sweaty to just not ignore him
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_01]: to not I don't know what I can't.
[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't imagine that needing to make the list.
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_01]: But this is the first one on the I don't think it's number.
[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't have a number one next to it, but it is first on the list.
[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Never extend a sweaty palm.
[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you abide by that rule, Jax?
[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: When you're partaking in business?
[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_04]: Never extend a sweaty palm.
[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I like to be polite and I feel like my hand is very often sweaty.
[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So even though maybe that is rude or I'll extend the palm.
[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's most people.
[00:30:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I think most people are aware.
[00:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And then you kind of make a joke about it.
[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_01]: Like sorry about the sorry about the moistness or whatever you want to say.
[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you say that?
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you shake somebody's hand?
[00:30:46] [SPEAKER_04]: I love that that's your idea of a joke is sorry about the moistness.
[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what you said.
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_01]: What a knee slapper that is.
[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Or just be like, sorry, I just washed my hands.
[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: One of those numbers.
[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you in this situation often?
[00:31:00] [SPEAKER_01]: No, almost never.
[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just trying to put myself.
[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Sorry about the moistness.
[00:31:03] [SPEAKER_01]: My hands don't really sweat.
[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what it says about me.
[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe someone can let me know.
[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that's a sign that I'm dying or something.
[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I assume everything is a sign that I'm dying.
[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, well, uh, may is talking to, uh, as Kenneth, I believe, uh, her childhood friend.
[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_01]: And she talks about, uh, being embarrassed or whatever.
[00:31:26] [SPEAKER_01]: And she says, nothing is more embarrassing when the teacher said that I had a crush on teenage Simba.
[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, this is a weird one.
[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And it was such a specific line that how do you start talking about?
[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_01]: How do you not expect us to just narrow in on it?
[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And we, first of all, you and I weren't aware that teenage Simba was a thing.
[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We were under the impression went from, from child Simba.
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: We were like, it's Jonathan Taylor Thomas Simba.
[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it's Matthew Broderick Simba.
[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But it turns out there's another movie called Lion King 1 1⁄2.
[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Lion King 1 1⁄2.
[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And so apparently May had a crush on Simba from Lion King 1 1⁄2.
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Teenage Simba from Lion King 1 1⁄2.
[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_04]: As they say, lusting after a cartoon line goes against God.
[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_01]: It does go against God.
[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything else here above board.
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: God would have no problem with the adultery.
[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: But that lusting of after a Disney character.
[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I tend to side with God on this one.
[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But it was just such an interesting and a very busy banging the dead horse.
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm banging the dead horse.
[00:32:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I said the horse was dead.
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Last but not least.
[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I did get a kick out of Frank Jr.
[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Who's been a miserable sad sack the whole show so far.
[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_01]: He has one good day and then he has to close one night.
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And he goes five deep in the alcohol.
[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: He's five beers deep.
[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He can't.
[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like this is too much.
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_02]: After closing one time.
[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I worked one day.
[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And I got to be honest, I think he got through those five beers really quickly.
[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Really quickly.
[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Because he's still working when she comes back by.
[00:32:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, from the period of time of her looking at the grease trap to Leah Thompson walking in
[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_01]: was not enough time for Amanda to get to the other restaurant.
[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_02]: He cleaned the grease traps and then he knocked down five banquets.
[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a tough.
[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That is a day.
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_02]: He was shotgunning beers.
[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_02]: That's like my biggest weight.
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_02]: What is this guy?
[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not like he had five beers and he sat there for four hours.
[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, great.
[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_02]: This guy had five beers in probably 10 minutes.
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Like I don't know.
[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_01]: It is a Frank Jr. thing to do.
[00:33:30] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a classic Frank.
[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_01]: That's definitely a Frank.
[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for sure.
[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Dana.
[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Early in this movie, I believe who is about to hit the what?
[00:33:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Who hits the woman backing out?
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like, oh, that line was so bad.
[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Amanda.
[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Amanda gets out of her red car and goes out there to help this woman.
[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And we briefly see, unfortunately, Canadian license plate.
[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And you guys, you know, there's a lot.
[00:33:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not perfect, but there's a lot they do to make me think we're actually in the south
[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: down here on the eastern seaboard in the deep south.
[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: And I that did take me out of it, but it did not take me out as the rest of mine,
[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_02]: which are all about the beverage sweet tea.
[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: First of all, I don't know anybody that says sweet tea like they have committed to saying sweet tea.
[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Like that's how we say it down here.
[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_02]: It's crazy.
[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Did you know?
[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a little fun fact.
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: If you go to a restaurant and you just say you want a tea, do you know what you're going to get?
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to get ice in a glass with tea that probably has more sugar than you planned on in having in it.
[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_02]: If you just say tea, if you say tea in an American southern restaurant, that is what you're getting.
[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's the default.
[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not sweet tea is tea.
[00:34:46] [SPEAKER_02]: You don't if you don't want that, you need to say unsweet tea.
[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what you would say is kind of unsweet tea.
[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Those are how you would define those things.
[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Unfortunately, that hasn't gotten up to Canada where they're filming that because also in Mimi's restaurant,
[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_02]: in Mimi's restaurant, which is a classic cash only have not changed anything.
[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_02]: It's yours.
[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_02]: That's your place.
[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_02]: It's yeah, they, they need support.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm a Mimi's boy.
[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_02]: They something happened to the sweet tea and somebody drinks it and spits it out on camera.
[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_02]: We see that the dining room is full of people.
[00:35:22] [SPEAKER_02]: No one's complained about that sweet tea yet, which is crazy.
[00:35:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Everyone would be absolutely out of their minds about that.
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And then in the background, this one just hurt my southern soul.
[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_02]: They have three jugs.
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: One is lemonade, marked lemonade.
[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_02]: One is sweet tea, marked sweet tea.
[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_02]: And the other is marked cold iced tea, which it would just be marked unsweet.
[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It would just be marked unsweet.
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It wouldn't be marked cold iced tea because sweet tea also cold is also cold.
[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And so they were doing so well on the southern front.
[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_02]: They were doing so on the fried chicken front.
[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_02]: The accents were theirs.
[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: However, maybe they dropped the balls with tea.
[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_01]: That's all I'm saying.
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The tea as someone who's not from here, the tea is a learning curve.
[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_01]: The tea is a learning curve.
[00:36:06] [SPEAKER_01]: It is a different lane.
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd be impressed if they got it right.
[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: The fact that they tackled it good for them.
[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But if you're going to do that, your show has been so authentic so far, but they dropped the ball here.
[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_02]: It was one giant wait what over and over again.
[00:36:20] [SPEAKER_02]: They just said out loud, we don't know southern tea.
[00:36:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And that's fine.
[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't even drink it that much anymore.
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I like it, but I never suited it.
[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, soda is healthier than sweet tea in the south.
[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Sweet tea, I think.
[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, sweet tea.
[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Can I have a sweet tea?
[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What are we doing here?
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Sweet tea.
[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So that was crushing, but it's okay.
[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time for chicken or fried.
[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_01]: It's where we talk about what we are and why we are.
[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Jax.
[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_04]: What we are and why we are.
[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_02]: So are you chicken or fried?
[00:36:51] [SPEAKER_04]: Am I allowed to be both?
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, man.
[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a question for the ages.
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Can you be both?
[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Let me tell you why.
[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, go ahead.
[00:36:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I think I'm chicken because I am actively nervous about how Leah Thompson's going to take this.
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_04]: What it's going to do with her relationship with Amanda.
[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Is she going to tell Frank Jr.?
[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Is that going to be a mess?
[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_04]: What is going to happen is actually making me nervous.
[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_04]: But in a fun way.
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And I'm fried because I am loving all this.
[00:37:18] [SPEAKER_04]: Aside from the lack of authenticity with the license plates and the sweet tea.
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that...
[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_04]: These are nitpicking.
[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm very much nitpicking.
[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it's fair.
[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_04]: No, but honestly, I do hear you because it is their job to hire consultants who know about this stuff.
[00:37:34] [SPEAKER_04]: So fair play to you.
[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I agree.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Sweet tea.
[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_04]: With Rukia Bernard's daughter talking about having spent a summer at Stage Door.
[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like the authenticity of knowing what the best camp for rich, connected kids is.
[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, yes, they do know about some things.
[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_04]: They care.
[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's a fantastic cast of actors that I'm very excited to see what happens.
[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm all in.
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_01]: I am also going with Chicken for the same reason that you went with Chicken.
[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Good answer.
[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_01]: How Leah Thompson plays this is really going to set the stage for where we're going.
[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Not just this season, but it has the potential to affect the show moving forward.
[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully into another season.
[00:38:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Because there's a way that you can play this.
[00:38:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You can play this where she goes right to Frank Jr., tells him.
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And they tell Amanda that she can't come back.
[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's how she gets reunited.
[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_01]: But that seems short term to me.
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: This movie is moving at a breakneck pace.
[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_01]: That seems like a short-sighted play.
[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And she loves Amanda more than she loves her own son.
[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly right.
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_01]: I think there is a play here where as she's walking away, she realizes,
[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: okay, the Southern thing to do would be to cover it up.
[00:38:54] [SPEAKER_01]: And to make sure that nobody knows.
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: And to just play it cool.
[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_01]: That's exactly what the Southern thing would be to do.
[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: She is going to talk to Amanda.
[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And they're going to hatch some sort of plan.
[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And that plan is going to maybe spiral or something.
[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I think there's things that you can do that could really take this show to another level.
[00:39:12] [SPEAKER_01]: And it's going to be not taking the easy way out of just immediately getting Amanda back
[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: into the good graces of her family.
[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And being like, you can't come back here.
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That would be an easy play.
[00:39:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That's an easy play to reunite the family.
[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And we can't do that at this point.
[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think there's some cover up.
[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_01]: There's some Southern play that you could do here that would work really well.
[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_02]: The Southern thing to do would be to make sure it doesn't ruin anybody in your family's reputation.
[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_02]: That would be the Southern thing to do.
[00:39:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I do think that's going to play in.
[00:39:44] [SPEAKER_01]: She could not tell Frank Jr.
[00:39:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think they're moving fast.
[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Things that you would not expect to happen until the finale, they've already done.
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_02]: That's why I don't know if they'll do that.
[00:39:56] [SPEAKER_02]: It's because they are really, and my big concern with the show is that it'll move through.
[00:40:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I would say maybe Franny's this week if I have to be.
[00:40:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I still am worried about the soul of Franny's as a restaurant.
[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know where it comes from.
[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know who cares about the chicken as much as Mimi cares about her fried chicken.
[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, Franny, but Lee Thompson is in a tough spot.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Not Franny, I don't know her name, whatever her name is.
[00:40:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I do think there's a show on ABC, this is a weird shout out.
[00:40:26] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a television show on ABC about 15 years ago called Dirty Sexy Money.
[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't watch it because it was sexy.
[00:40:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's why you didn't watch it.
[00:40:34] [SPEAKER_02]: It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that you were 15 or 16 years old?
[00:40:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I was 15 or 16 and it had the word sexy in it and I wouldn't watch it.
[00:40:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Your parents wouldn't let you or you just decided?
[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I was a good boy.
[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't want word to get out in the youth group.
[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: That you were watching Dirty Sexy Money.
[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It had Donald Sutherland in it.
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It had Peter Krause from Six Feet Under.
[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_02]: And the show was really good early on, but it rifled through plots.
[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_02]: And then it became a show that couldn't keep up with its ambition of plot twist and stuff.
[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_01]: If we did that show, we could have a segment called Dirty Sexy or Money.
[00:41:11] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right, Dirty Sexy or Money.
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean the show writes itself.
[00:41:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Should we do a Dirty Sexy Money rewatch podcast?
[00:41:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it would be like 30 episodes.
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_02]: My point is that's my big concern right now.
[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that this show seems to be steamrolling through plots.
[00:41:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's just here for one season and done.
[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We're all three chicken this week and Jax is a smidge of fried.
[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: A smidge fried.
[00:41:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Stuff for Chicken of the Week is where we dive deep into the life of one of the chickens
[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_01]: that have been nominated, the plethora of chickens that we have had submitted to.
[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_01]: The emails are getting out of hand.
[00:41:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Dan, who do we have today?
[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_02]: We have Bernadette.
[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Bernadette.
[00:41:49] [SPEAKER_02]: And all this says is Jackson, Mississippi.
[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_02]: She's a bad mother clucker.
[00:41:54] [SPEAKER_02]: That's all it says.
[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't say anything else.
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Bernadette from Jackson, Mississippi.
[00:42:00] [SPEAKER_02]: She's a bad mother clucker.
[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't even get the weight or what kind of hen.
[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that Bernadette?
[00:42:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Nope.
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not Bernadette.
[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Who is this?
[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_01]: This is Bernadette's, I guess you would say farmer.
[00:42:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You guess I would say farmer.
[00:42:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I call, I say I'm dad.
[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: You're Bernadette's.
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: You think you're the father of all the chickens?
[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think I'm father.
[00:42:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm in a sense.
[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You're in a sense?
[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_02]: In a spiritual sense.
[00:42:28] [SPEAKER_02]: In a spiritual sense, you're the godfather of the chickens.
[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: She's a bad mother clucker.
[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_02]: She's a bad mother clucker.
[00:42:34] [SPEAKER_01]: What does that mean?
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, no one doesn't like burning.
[00:42:38] [SPEAKER_02]: What does that mean?
[00:42:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like in regards to eggs.
[00:42:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Eggs?
[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Continual.
[00:42:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Continual?
[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Continual eggs.
[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Continual eggs.
[00:42:54] [SPEAKER_01]: What does that mean?
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you think it means?
[00:42:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Is she laying eggs all day?
[00:43:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and night.
[00:43:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh wow.
[00:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a lot of eggs.
[00:43:06] [SPEAKER_04]: She must be tired.
[00:43:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, real tired.
[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Hey, Jack's big fan.
[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you looking after or taking care of these chickens?
[00:43:15] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm their dad.
[00:43:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you take care of your children?
[00:43:19] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have any human children.
[00:43:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Human children?
[00:43:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So I see the eggs.
[00:43:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sorry, my bad.
[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I see the chickens as my children.
[00:43:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay, got it.
[00:43:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for nominating.
[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Why did you choose Bernadette over the other ones?
[00:43:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
[00:43:34] [SPEAKER_01]: No one doesn't like her.
[00:43:36] [SPEAKER_01]: No, like a lot of chickens can lay eggs.
[00:43:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't love this.
[00:43:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But Bernie, Bernie again lays them all night and all day.
[00:43:46] [SPEAKER_04]: So would you say Bernie's entire sense of worth is that the fact that she can lay eggs?
[00:43:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's her entire sense of worth, no.
[00:43:54] [SPEAKER_04]: A good chunk of it.
[00:43:55] [SPEAKER_01]: A big part of it, yeah.
[00:43:57] [SPEAKER_01]: But she's funny.
[00:44:00] [SPEAKER_01]: She's funny.
[00:44:01] [SPEAKER_01]: She always makes the other chickens laugh.
[00:44:03] [SPEAKER_02]: She tells jokes.
[00:44:06] [SPEAKER_02]: What's a joke?
[00:44:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't hear.
[00:44:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't hear?
[00:44:10] [SPEAKER_01]: No.
[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't hear?
[00:44:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Can you hear me right now?
[00:44:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the chicken, the way that they talk.
[00:44:18] [SPEAKER_01]: All I know is the way that the other chickens respond.
[00:44:21] [SPEAKER_01]: What's a chicken laugh sound like?
[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, I've been wondering and I've been working.
[00:44:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you want one more?
[00:44:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I got it.
[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Sounds like a…
[00:44:36] [SPEAKER_01]: So if you ever go on a farm and you hear them going,
[00:44:42] [SPEAKER_01]: they're laughing.
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Some chicken told a joke.
[00:44:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It was probably Bernie.
[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_01]: She's a bad mother clucker.
[00:44:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[00:44:52] [SPEAKER_01]: What was your name again?
[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Dad.
[00:44:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you, Dad.
[00:45:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Chicken of the Week, a segment that lasted three weeks.
[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see if it lasts four.
[00:45:05] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be back next week with another one.
[00:45:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Jack, it's great to see you.
[00:45:08] [SPEAKER_01]: See you next Friday.
[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Until then, we're the first to wish you a Merry Christmas!
