[00:00:03] Hi, I'm Bram and I love the Chicken Sisters. Hi, I'm Jax and I like the Chicken Sisters. I'm Dan and I despise the Chicken Sisters and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast. And friends host his podcast. We hope you like this jolly podcast. Well, well, well. Hello everybody. Oh boy. This is weird because we're currently in the podcast. I'm Dan. And I'm Dan. And I'm Dan. And I love the Chicken Sisters.
[00:00:41] We're currently doing the marathon. It's wild that we are able to do two things at the same time. That's weird. In different places. And Jax, you're here right now, but you said, I gotta go to another room. Well, yeah. And I, you know, I think it's very cool that I have, it's very meta that I had the Zoom background of my Jax. Is that meta? Am I using meta correctly? I think you are. I don't know if it's meta or not, but we're going to call it meta. Right. Like there's a word for it that isn't meta, but it's like, yeah, I like to just feel like I'm at it.
[00:01:11] In my home, but really I'm in my bedroom. We're using the word meta though. And that's meta. And it's always, and it's only if you think about it, this is a uncharted territory for us because it typically you get to the Friday nights and they switch to the Christmas movies. And then we never talk about anything that's not Christmas until the end of the year. Not the case this year. We've got this episode of the Chicken Sisters and we got one more next week. We've got three groomsmen movies. So.
[00:01:40] Hallmark Plus is Hallmark Plus. Uncharted territory for us is what we're trying to say. And so if it's, if you're listening to this and you're also like watching the marathon at the same time, I don't know how you're doing it all, but come watch them. This is going to be here forever. Go pause this. Go watch the marathon.
[00:01:57] We're going to actually record another episode tonight. Right. After we watched the first premiere. So we're, there's a lot of things happening at the same time and I don't really know the math on it, but it's, we're doing it.
[00:02:07] I do want to thank producer Aaron for giving me the best room in the house.
[00:02:11] Shout out. Amazing. Yeah. And amazing how that worked out. Ironically, I think it's also the room that she's staying in.
[00:02:18] Ironically, because you are bunking with Aaron and so, but you're on different sleep shifts.
[00:02:25] Different. Oh, that's why we're on different sleep shifts. That's right. So, so yeah.
[00:02:28] We'll see what happens if there's a cuddle. Not inappropriate. I'm actually not making any sort of like sexual.
[00:02:33] Now that I said, it's not a sexual joke. It seems like a sexual joke.
[00:02:36] The more you're talking, the worse it gets.
[00:02:37] Yeah. Anyway, she's a beautiful woman and we're friends.
[00:02:41] Uh-oh. You're still talking. It's, it's so crazy how you are.
[00:02:45] Tell us about your croissant sweater. What's that about?
[00:02:48] Yeah.
[00:02:48] Oh, this is, um, I love, so you'll be seeing when I get, well, uh, when I come out of my bedroom later after this.
[00:02:55] Yes. I have a croissant, um, sweatshirt and then I have a, um, a coat with little, um, coffee cups on it.
[00:03:06] So rent the runway, baby. Not sponsored. I pay them.
[00:03:09] Rent the runway.
[00:03:10] So you're, you, this is a rental.
[00:03:12] It's a rental. It'll only be mine for a little bit of time.
[00:03:15] I'm confused.
[00:03:16] What's it cost to rent a croissant?
[00:03:19] You rent clothes and send them back?
[00:03:21] Yeah. It's a, it's a thing.
[00:03:22] How long do you get to keep the clothes?
[00:03:24] So it's actually a good system in that you rent, I get six pieces at a time and I get to switch it four times a month for a membership fee.
[00:03:34] Um, and you just switch it back and forth. So I don't buy winter coats. I rent winter coats.
[00:03:40] Yeah. Cause you'd be buying a new one every season to stay in fashion and that's a ton of money.
[00:03:44] And I never.
[00:03:46] You're renting the runway.
[00:03:46] I'm looking this up right now.
[00:03:48] Is rent, but I didn't know.
[00:03:49] Can I rent the runway or is this not.
[00:03:51] It's mostly, it's women.
[00:03:53] Okay.
[00:03:53] Well that seems, that's unfair.
[00:03:55] That seems backwards.
[00:03:56] I feel like, you know, justice for white men.
[00:03:58] It's not right.
[00:03:59] Thank you.
[00:04:00] Someone had to say it.
[00:04:01] But I didn't know, I didn't know croissant sweaters were on the runway.
[00:04:05] I didn't know that that was, that's news to me.
[00:04:07] Where is this runway?
[00:04:08] And this seems like a runway I'd be more comfortable watching.
[00:04:11] I gotta be honest, Jax.
[00:04:12] I know that you're supposed to answer the question.
[00:04:14] I looked up the price for this and this is less that you would spend to buy new wardrobes every season by a long shot.
[00:04:21] Yes.
[00:04:22] Yes.
[00:04:22] And I got grandfathered in because I was doing it for a while.
[00:04:25] So I pay a little lower than that.
[00:04:27] That's unbelievable.
[00:04:28] It's actually grandmothered in because there's no guy stuff on you.
[00:04:31] There's no guy stuff on you.
[00:04:31] And I want that.
[00:04:31] You're exactly right.
[00:04:32] I got grandmothered in.
[00:04:33] Rent the runway, but for dudes, I want that.
[00:04:36] It is great.
[00:04:38] And also, if you're getting nicer stuff, then you never have to pay to dry clean it because you just send it back.
[00:04:44] Send it back.
[00:04:44] And then you can rent it again if you want, but they dry clean it for you.
[00:04:46] Dry cleaning is so expensive.
[00:04:48] It's so expensive.
[00:04:49] Would it surprise you to find out I've never dry cleaned anything in my life?
[00:04:52] That does not surprise me for a second, Brand.
[00:04:55] No, it would surprise me if you had dry cleaned.
[00:04:57] Right.
[00:04:57] I mean, I have a suit that gets dry cleaned.
[00:05:00] I don't have clothes I wear every day that get dry cleaned.
[00:05:02] There's like people dry clean weekly, and it's like, that's crazy.
[00:05:07] It is.
[00:05:08] So I didn't know.
[00:05:10] I'd never done dry cleaning before I started dating Alex, and then I administer.
[00:05:17] I do the life admin in our home.
[00:05:20] So now I know what dry cleaning costs, and it's so upsetting to me.
[00:05:24] He has to do it for work, but I don't understand.
[00:05:26] It's a requirement of his working establishment to have dry cleaned.
[00:05:30] You got to look a certain way.
[00:05:30] You have to wear a suit every day.
[00:05:32] And I do know what he does for a living and the type of people that he works with.
[00:05:37] You can't go in there with a wrinkly suit like I would buy from this warehouse.
[00:05:44] You know what I mean?
[00:05:45] Hey, guys, let me tell you what to do with your money.
[00:05:49] It's me.
[00:05:50] Hello, it's me, Alex.
[00:05:51] I'm here, and I'm going to talk to you.
[00:05:53] Also, goofy movie.
[00:05:55] Goofy movie.
[00:05:55] Stand out.
[00:05:56] Serious money.
[00:05:57] Goofy movie.
[00:05:58] Serious money.
[00:05:59] Goofy movie.
[00:06:00] That's good.
[00:06:01] Serious money.
[00:06:02] Goofy movie.
[00:06:03] Goofy movie.
[00:06:04] Serious money.
[00:06:05] Pip, pip.
[00:06:06] Goofy movie.
[00:06:08] I was excited to see that Alex came with you this weekend.
[00:06:10] That was really nice.
[00:06:11] Yeah, it was such a surprise.
[00:06:13] We're hanging out with Alex.
[00:06:14] Love that guy.
[00:06:15] All on camera.
[00:06:16] Love that guy.
[00:06:16] As we do.
[00:06:16] Love that guy.
[00:06:17] That's right.
[00:06:17] Let's talk Chicken Sisters, season one, episode seven.
[00:06:23] It's just junk, y'all, is the name of the episode.
[00:06:27] And it originally premiered on October 17th, 2024.
[00:06:33] And it went a little something like this.
[00:06:37] Frank Jr. was always meant to fill his dad's shoes.
[00:06:42] Despite what I assumed about Frank Sr.
[00:06:45] Apparently, he was actually a pretty present father.
[00:06:49] But they do show him being just a real jerk of a businessman.
[00:06:53] Unfortunately, it didn't all get passed down to Frank Jr.
[00:06:57] And by all, I mean none of it got passed down to Frank Jr.
[00:07:00] He blew a big business meeting by not knowing how to use a clicker or pour water.
[00:07:06] It happens to the best of us, man.
[00:07:07] And after that meeting, he was so ashamed of his son that nothing was ever the same between them.
[00:07:14] So much so that his dad would go fishing.
[00:07:17] Frank Jr. would go, can I come?
[00:07:20] And his dad would say, no, not this time.
[00:07:24] Just before he passed, though, Frank Jr.
[00:07:26] Thought that he had done something and had gained his dad's respect again.
[00:07:31] But it was too late.
[00:07:33] He died.
[00:07:35] Frank Jr. has never been the same since.
[00:07:37] He's got a hole in his heart that only his dad can fill.
[00:07:41] That's right, man.
[00:07:42] And that's unfortunate.
[00:07:43] It's a dad-shaped hole in his heart.
[00:07:46] Cut to present day.
[00:07:48] Amanda wakes up in the back of Sergio's truck and is like, oh, no!
[00:07:52] I slept here in the back of the truck!
[00:07:54] So she runs home and is surprised to find out that Frank Jr. isn't there.
[00:08:00] Why is Frank Jr. not there?
[00:08:01] He fell asleep in the phone booth for a reason I don't know.
[00:08:07] But remember, last episode ended with him in the phone booth calling and reporting Gus's house to the health inspector.
[00:08:15] And apparently one thing led to another, and he fell asleep there.
[00:08:19] Just then, Shauna rolls up with news that she got while dancing last night.
[00:08:26] Someone called the health inspector on Gus.
[00:08:29] And so they run and tell Gus about what's happening.
[00:08:34] And she's like, oh, no, this is bad news.
[00:08:37] She convinces Gus to bring May in on this because this is what May does.
[00:08:41] May, you know, tidies things up.
[00:08:44] Maybe she can help.
[00:08:45] When they find May, May is talking to her fiancé.
[00:08:47] And I guess he's just going to get thrown into the fire here because they go to Gus's house.
[00:08:52] And Gus is like, we will move all this stuff to a storage unit.
[00:08:55] And May is like, we will not do that.
[00:08:57] I am good at this.
[00:08:58] Let me do what I'm good at.
[00:08:59] Let me get rid of all of your stuff.
[00:09:01] But it is clearly too much for just them.
[00:09:04] Suddenly, Nancy and the entire town, once word gets out about what's going on,
[00:09:09] they show up in Kanto style to help Gus clean up the house.
[00:09:16] The enemies.
[00:09:17] The miracle is not the trash that you've got.
[00:09:20] That's right.
[00:09:21] The miracle is you.
[00:09:22] We don't talk about hoarding.
[00:09:25] No, no.
[00:09:26] So they are going to help, which is news to Gus.
[00:09:30] Gus comes out there, guns a blaze, and is like, you've come to rub this in?
[00:09:34] And she's like, no, we've come to help.
[00:09:35] And so she's like, all right, well, I guess that's happening.
[00:09:38] Gus overhears Amanda and May talking about how Mama is never going to pick us over the stuff
[00:09:43] while May is having an absolute breakdown after a bunch of pillows fall on her face.
[00:09:49] Frank Jr. is nowhere to be found.
[00:09:51] And it becomes clear to Amanda that it was him that called this in.
[00:09:56] Oh, Frank Jr.
[00:09:58] Nancy realizes that Amanda is wearing the same clothes from yesterday.
[00:10:03] She confronts her on this and says, did you betray Frank Jr. last night?
[00:10:08] And Amanda is like, I'm not the one that betrayed Frank Jr.
[00:10:11] Frank Jr. betrayed us.
[00:10:14] And she's like, what are you talking about?
[00:10:16] She's like, notice he's the only one that's not here.
[00:10:18] And she's like, he wouldn't have done that.
[00:10:21] So Nancy can't believe it.
[00:10:23] So she goes to talk to him and he admits that he did do it and that dad would be proud of him.
[00:10:29] It's tough.
[00:10:30] Gus can't handle everybody being there and getting rid of her stuff.
[00:10:35] It's finally too much for her.
[00:10:36] So she tells everybody to get lost.
[00:10:39] Get out of here.
[00:10:41] This really hurts May.
[00:10:43] May is real sad about this.
[00:10:46] And so she has a heart-to-heart with her fiancé.
[00:10:48] And he's like, you know what?
[00:10:50] I'm not going anywhere.
[00:10:50] I'm here for you and all this good stuff.
[00:10:54] And Gus, she realizes that she can't do this.
[00:10:59] And so she takes matters into her own hands and she burns the house down.
[00:11:06] Gus started the fire.
[00:11:08] And she goes outside and she's like, don't call the fire department.
[00:11:12] We're going to let this sucker burn.
[00:11:15] And then she faints.
[00:11:19] The Chicken Sisters Season 1 Episode 7 is just junk, y'all.
[00:11:25] Nailed it.
[00:11:26] That's as good as we've ever been.
[00:11:27] I know.
[00:11:27] Let's take a quick break.
[00:11:28] We'll come back.
[00:11:29] Take the Hallmark.
[00:11:29] We missed it.
[00:11:31] Sorry.
[00:11:32] Take the Hallmark.
[00:11:33] We're back.
[00:11:40] We're talking Chicken Sisters Season 1 Episode 7, the penultimate episode.
[00:11:47] Penultimate.
[00:11:48] Penultimate.
[00:11:49] Penultimate.
[00:11:50] Penultimate.
[00:11:50] Yes.
[00:11:51] What's the difference between what you said and what I said?
[00:11:53] Penultimate.
[00:11:53] Penultimate.
[00:11:54] Penultimate.
[00:11:55] Penultimate.
[00:11:56] Yes.
[00:11:56] You said it right that time.
[00:11:57] It's just the emphasis on the wrong syllable.
[00:11:59] Yeah.
[00:12:00] Yeah.
[00:12:00] That's fine.
[00:12:01] You can do that.
[00:12:02] You said pun instead of pin.
[00:12:03] But it's pun.
[00:12:04] Pun.
[00:12:05] It's pin.
[00:12:06] With an E.
[00:12:06] Yeah.
[00:12:07] Pun.
[00:12:07] That's a U.
[00:12:08] Pun.
[00:12:08] No.
[00:12:09] Not the way that I spelled it.
[00:12:10] I knew it was with an E.
[00:12:11] You just said un.
[00:12:12] Pun ultimate.
[00:12:13] Pun ultimate?
[00:12:14] Pun ultimate.
[00:12:14] Pun ultimate would be wrong.
[00:12:15] That would be the wrong way to say that word.
[00:12:17] Oh, this guy with a suicide.
[00:12:19] Says who?
[00:12:20] Graham?
[00:12:21] Welcome back.
[00:12:21] That would be a great word for like a really cool set of puns.
[00:12:25] For the pun.
[00:12:26] For that pun show.
[00:12:28] The pun ultimate question would be the second to last question in a pun game show.
[00:12:31] Yes.
[00:12:31] That game show from that one movie that I didn't explain.
[00:12:34] Yeah.
[00:12:34] Let's break this episode down.
[00:12:36] We're going to share our thoughts on it.
[00:12:38] Can we do four segments?
[00:12:39] I think we might.
[00:12:39] Okay.
[00:12:39] I think we might today.
[00:12:41] Let's start with a hot take.
[00:12:42] We're going to share exactly how we felt about this episode.
[00:12:43] We're not going to hold back and I will start with you, Jax.
[00:12:46] Jax, what did you think of It's Just Junk, Y'all?
[00:12:49] So when this episode started, I thought, oh no, not a Frank Jr. episode.
[00:12:55] And then they did nothing with that flashback.
[00:12:58] And you know what?
[00:12:59] That was okay by me.
[00:13:00] I was just like, this is going to be an episode where we're supposed to feel empathy for Frank Jr.
[00:13:08] We get insight.
[00:13:09] I'm going to spend too much time with him.
[00:13:11] And you know what?
[00:13:12] They didn't do that.
[00:13:13] And thank goodness they didn't.
[00:13:15] I didn't really need the beginning.
[00:13:17] It's like, he still sucks.
[00:13:18] And I have no empathy for him.
[00:13:20] And I also didn't need to see his dad dead on the floor with the heart that I just, what's it called?
[00:13:28] The AFib?
[00:13:29] It's the thing that they have at every basketball gym in the country now.
[00:13:33] It's the penultimate.
[00:13:33] And I had to get training on it every year.
[00:13:35] And I can't believe I can't think of the name of it now.
[00:13:38] Same.
[00:13:38] I just, not just took, but like six months ago took a CPR class.
[00:13:42] And I don't, we used it.
[00:13:44] I fear it.
[00:13:46] I fear having to put those stickers on anyway.
[00:13:50] I'm glad we didn't have to deal with Frank Jr. too much.
[00:13:53] This episode, it was a good episode.
[00:13:55] I enjoyed it.
[00:13:56] I like getting to see May's fiance.
[00:14:01] I love what they did with that storyline.
[00:14:02] I think there's sexy sparks between Amanda and between Sergio?
[00:14:10] Sergio?
[00:14:11] Sergio.
[00:14:12] Okay.
[00:14:12] Yeah.
[00:14:12] I hesitate on his name there for a second.
[00:14:14] Dimples, as I like to call him and think of him.
[00:14:17] Sure.
[00:14:19] And the, okay.
[00:14:21] I loved getting to see the town come together, but, and I'm sure that, or I at least think
[00:14:27] that Dan will touch on this later, but if someone really is a hoarder having all these
[00:14:30] people come into their house, there's just so much there to unpack.
[00:14:34] So I'll leave most of that to you.
[00:14:35] But what I will say is I thought that ending shot was absolutely gorgeous and beautiful.
[00:14:41] It made me think of the song Independence Day.
[00:14:44] Martina McBride?
[00:14:45] Martina McBride.
[00:14:46] Yeah, come on.
[00:14:46] Yes, where it's like there was, you know, her abusive husband, she burned the house down
[00:14:50] with her and him in it.
[00:14:52] Gorgeous shot.
[00:14:53] I really didn't like that she fainted at the end.
[00:14:56] I thought it felt really kind of like cheap and overdramatic when that shot of the three
[00:15:01] of them looking at that house.
[00:15:02] But I mean, I had gosh darn chills.
[00:15:05] It took me to a place.
[00:15:06] So, so beautiful work in this episode, like the acting, firing and all.
[00:15:11] All cylinders from our four leading ladies, like really, really enjoying that.
[00:15:15] Um, so I understand the concern with the hoarding storyline.
[00:15:24] Um, I, I don't, it didn't really bother me this episode because I can see a character like Gus
[00:15:32] who clearly has chosen hoarding over her children and clearly has, um, a mental illness that she
[00:15:40] has not dealt with having a moment of, Oh, I'm going to lose the only other thing that
[00:15:44] I have, which is this restaurant and, um, being like, okay, if this is what it takes suppressing
[00:15:51] for a little bit and then it all bubbles up and she kicks everyone out and she's like,
[00:15:54] it's not worth it anymore.
[00:15:55] And then she has a nut, like there's lots of swings in what she does in this episode with
[00:16:02] her personality and how she's responding and reacting.
[00:16:05] And that felt real to me.
[00:16:08] It felt what I would anticipate Gus, the character doing and responding, uh, with, uh, is it true
[00:16:17] to how most people handle hoarding?
[00:16:18] I don't really know, uh, probably not, but everybody's different.
[00:16:22] And what I know about Gus, this felt authentic to who she is and what she would do in this
[00:16:28] situation.
[00:16:29] Uh, this, this isn't sarcasm.
[00:16:31] You've kind of just convinced me like that was, like that was, that was really compelling.
[00:16:35] Well, I'll go the other way with it after he's done and say that I felt like that they were
[00:16:39] trying to have it both ways there, but are you done?
[00:16:41] I don't want to know.
[00:16:41] I'm not done.
[00:16:42] Okay, good.
[00:16:42] Um, all that to say, I, I liked the episode overall.
[00:16:46] I think the one thing that's not quite there for me yet, and maybe it's just like, we,
[00:16:50] we know so much about all the other characters, but it's, uh, May's fiance, that heart to heart.
[00:16:57] I don't really know anything about him.
[00:16:59] Um, you know, we have, we, he just, this is really his first real episode, um, on the
[00:17:04] show.
[00:17:04] And so while the moment was nice, it's like, uh, I would almost have rather had a flashback
[00:17:10] to start this episode of him so that I can like know him more.
[00:17:13] And then that, that hits a little bit different at the end.
[00:17:16] Um, although like they clearly like, I thought the scene was really good.
[00:17:20] The two actors crushed it.
[00:17:21] Can we talk about how, uh, ripped May is?
[00:17:24] Oh my gosh.
[00:17:25] She's ripped, right?
[00:17:26] Like her, like her arms are so much.
[00:17:29] Her arms were crazy.
[00:17:30] I, I, I don't like, I, wow.
[00:17:33] Ripped.
[00:17:34] May, like.
[00:17:35] Go ahead, Jax.
[00:17:36] No, no.
[00:17:36] There's an episode.
[00:17:37] I think it's episode two or three where she does something with her arm and Alex is watching
[00:17:41] with me and he was like, holy crap.
[00:17:44] I know.
[00:17:44] She is so ripped.
[00:17:45] She is.
[00:17:46] She looks incredible.
[00:17:48] Uh, so.
[00:17:48] She must do, um, HIIT classes regularly.
[00:17:51] Yeah.
[00:17:52] You know what those are.
[00:17:52] HIIT classes.
[00:17:53] Yeah.
[00:17:54] It's H-I-I-T and it stands for what?
[00:17:56] Bram?
[00:17:57] Um, hot.
[00:17:58] Nope.
[00:17:59] Okay.
[00:18:01] Um, hearing.
[00:18:03] HI.
[00:18:04] HI.
[00:18:05] Intensive.
[00:18:06] Intensity.
[00:18:07] Intensity.
[00:18:08] Uh, training.
[00:18:09] Interval training.
[00:18:11] That's what it's, right?
[00:18:12] Am I right on that?
[00:18:13] Yeah.
[00:18:13] Okay, good.
[00:18:14] So anyway, um, I, I thought that the scene between, uh, May and Amanda when Amanda is comforting
[00:18:21] her, obvious those two, anytime they have a scene together is, uh, magical.
[00:18:25] And, um, so overall, uh, a solid episode and, uh, it didn't, it didn't bother me.
[00:18:31] Dana?
[00:18:32] I would say this episode represents the absolute best of what Chicken Sisters has to offer and
[00:18:38] the absolute worst of what Chicken Sisters has to offer.
[00:18:41] Let's start with worst because I got a lot of best.
[00:18:43] Uh, number one, Frank Jr. flashback.
[00:18:45] What are we doing?
[00:18:46] This episode isn't even about him.
[00:18:47] It was a weird time to have that scene.
[00:18:49] I don't mind showing how his relationship with his father damaged him.
[00:18:54] I'm in a firm belief.
[00:18:56] This is why he had a vasectomy.
[00:18:57] He did not want to have a son.
[00:18:59] That makes sense.
[00:18:59] That's good character development.
[00:19:01] I, that all makes sense.
[00:19:03] Why is that here?
[00:19:04] It doesn't make any sense at all.
[00:19:06] Frank Jr. has such a little part of this episode.
[00:19:09] This is about generations of women dealing with trauma in different ways.
[00:19:13] It's not about Frank Jr.
[00:19:14] This episode.
[00:19:15] I thought that was really bad.
[00:19:16] And then the Gus thing.
[00:19:18] I think my two big takeaways from how they handle this were one, the way that May and Amanda
[00:19:23] process trauma in this episode is amazing.
[00:19:27] Like how they would do it.
[00:19:28] They grew up in this.
[00:19:29] One of them ran.
[00:19:30] One of them stayed.
[00:19:32] They accept, they went through all the stages of grief, but really didn't because they never
[00:19:35] accepted it.
[00:19:36] They just kind of put it away somewhere in the recesses of their mind.
[00:19:39] What does that look like for May?
[00:19:40] She has to go back into this world where she's a TV host.
[00:19:43] She starts to freak out.
[00:19:44] What does it look like for Amanda?
[00:19:45] And she's looking for any sort of like encouragement around her to lift her up in a way that she's
[00:19:55] been kind of carrying this burden the whole time.
[00:19:56] I thought that the way that the two daughters process this was amazing.
[00:20:02] I also would tell you that if this was the series finale of the show, this is a show that
[00:20:08] I think we all hope runs longer than a season.
[00:20:10] I don't care who wins Kitchen Clash.
[00:20:12] I'm sure it'll be some sort of weird thing where they both win.
[00:20:15] It's dumb.
[00:20:16] I don't care who wins Kitchen Clash.
[00:20:18] What I care about is these people becoming better versions of themselves and breaking
[00:20:22] out of the oppressive formulations and mechanisms around them to be the best versions of themselves
[00:20:29] and to love others in the process.
[00:20:30] That's what I care about.
[00:20:32] Having said that, this would have been the best series finale of all time.
[00:20:37] If we had two years for this show, of all the versions of...
[00:20:42] Sorry, that was a bad sentence.
[00:20:43] Of all the versions of series finales, a series finale in season four where Gus has gone through
[00:20:48] therapy and has done this thing where she has blowouts, blowups, and completely loses her
[00:20:56] mind.
[00:20:57] And then it's like, I can do this.
[00:20:58] I can't do that.
[00:20:58] And she goes two steps forward and one step back.
[00:21:03] One step back.
[00:21:04] And she's like, my girls are more important.
[00:21:06] We see that shot.
[00:21:08] Roll the credits.
[00:21:09] That's it.
[00:21:10] That's all we want.
[00:21:11] Here in episode seven, this felt like a plot device.
[00:21:15] It was like, we can't go any further with this.
[00:21:18] We can't.
[00:21:19] A level three, level four hoarder is going to need a lot of therapy and a lot of time is
[00:21:24] not going to sit calmly on a chair and sip lemonade while you take all her stuff.
[00:21:30] But that didn't work.
[00:21:31] And then they tried to make up for it with like this quick swinging pendulum, which didn't
[00:21:35] hurt.
[00:21:35] I think it helped.
[00:21:36] But I feel like this wasn't earned.
[00:21:39] That wasn't earned.
[00:21:40] And the rest of this episode, aside from the Frank Jr. thing and the fact that they just
[00:21:44] got everything out of her.
[00:21:46] They dealt with Gus's house in one episode.
[00:21:50] That hurt.
[00:21:51] That hurt me as someone that's really loving this show.
[00:21:54] But May's my favorite character.
[00:21:55] I love Amanda.
[00:21:56] Amanda, I'm pulling for these ladies and there's a lot to really like here.
[00:22:00] It's time for all the feels.
[00:22:01] We're talking about what this episode gave us feels.
[00:22:03] Jax.
[00:22:05] Okay.
[00:22:05] Again, this is another thing I never expected from Hallmark.
[00:22:09] Matthew James Dowden, who I already think is so adorable, saying God's works are not done
[00:22:14] by God.
[00:22:15] They're done by people.
[00:22:16] Yeah.
[00:22:16] I'm quoting Ani DeFranco.
[00:22:18] Let's go.
[00:22:18] Ani flipping DeFranco in a Hallmark show.
[00:22:22] What are we even doing?
[00:22:23] Let's go.
[00:22:23] It was so great.
[00:22:24] Let's go.
[00:22:26] So I thought, so I had, those were giving me all the feels.
[00:22:32] Shauna, I just think she's adorable and hilarious.
[00:22:35] You know, when she comes in, she's like, Amanda's not coming in today for a very regular
[00:22:38] reason.
[00:22:39] It's the best scene of the episode.
[00:22:41] Isn't she so funny?
[00:22:42] Guys, right?
[00:22:42] You didn't even know her name and now you're enchanted with her.
[00:22:45] My first, my first, my first actual laugh out loud at this show was the scene where she's trying
[00:22:50] to not talk to Frank Jr.'s mom.
[00:22:53] Leah Thompson would not tell her it was the best.
[00:22:56] We should not talk about her forever today.
[00:22:58] Like just a perfect line reading.
[00:23:01] Definitely my feels.
[00:23:03] Laughed out loud.
[00:23:04] Laughed out.
[00:23:04] Legit funny.
[00:23:05] Great stuff.
[00:23:06] She is so good.
[00:23:07] I want to see so much more of her.
[00:23:09] And then I had, look, I know we've seen good food on the show.
[00:23:13] And maybe it's just because I was hungry when I watched this.
[00:23:16] The fried chicken here looked good.
[00:23:17] Oh my God.
[00:23:18] And the, and whatever he was doing to the mac and cheese.
[00:23:21] He was shredding some cheese on top.
[00:23:22] It was.
[00:23:24] And then the crust.
[00:23:25] And I viscerally, um, and then when my, who's such a kindred spirit of mine, when that woman
[00:23:31] who had a, you know, a little crush on Sergio, you know, she's, she's not a Mimi's girl.
[00:23:39] She's not a Mimi's girl.
[00:23:41] She's not a Mimi's girl.
[00:23:42] She's a Franny's girl.
[00:23:43] So she says, um, you know, I'm hungry, but I can make do with a stick of gum and a clementine
[00:23:47] in my purse.
[00:23:47] I always have a stick of gum and a clementine in my purse.
[00:23:50] And I was like, you go girl.
[00:23:51] You, are you sure you're not Southern Jacks?
[00:23:53] That is such a, some Southern, sometimes I think they overdo it with the Southern like
[00:23:59] lines in the show.
[00:24:00] Like they just wanted like establish that cred.
[00:24:02] That line is such a like legitimate line.
[00:24:06] Wait, so is that, is that actually a Southern thing to have like a clementine in your purse?
[00:24:10] Yeah.
[00:24:10] Like some sort of piece of fruit.
[00:24:13] Yeah.
[00:24:14] Absolutely, man.
[00:24:15] Like that is, that was like legit.
[00:24:16] You never know.
[00:24:17] You just, you never know.
[00:24:18] You gotta be prepared.
[00:24:19] You gotta be prepared.
[00:24:20] I love a clementine.
[00:24:21] Um, yes.
[00:24:22] That scene, uh, where she's, where she's trying to hide where Amanda is, is fantastic.
[00:24:28] And it made me laugh a lot.
[00:24:29] Um, the surprise feel for me, I didn't, when they first did the thing where they show May
[00:24:35] and how she's dealing with it and she looks right at the camera, like she's hosting the
[00:24:38] show.
[00:24:43] And then it ended up working for me when she was walked into the room upstairs and begins
[00:24:48] to have a breakdown and she just goes into it, but she's crying through it.
[00:24:53] Yeah.
[00:24:54] She's like freaking out through it, but she's looking at the camera and they do the thing,
[00:24:57] like that worked for me.
[00:24:59] It was something that I didn't think was going to work, but it ended up working.
[00:25:02] It reminded me, and this is a call I think you'll remember.
[00:25:05] It reminded me of Laura Linney and the Truman Show.
[00:25:08] When she's got a, have you seen the Truman Show, Jack?
[00:25:11] Yeah.
[00:25:11] When she's got to sell the product.
[00:25:13] Yeah.
[00:25:13] Everything is falling apart.
[00:25:15] It's a mess.
[00:25:16] Yeah.
[00:25:17] And she's got to look at, Truman is just desperate for some sort of real connection and she knows
[00:25:22] she can't give him real connection.
[00:25:23] She's got to sell a product and she's like, and Laura Linney is like national treasure good
[00:25:27] at acting.
[00:25:27] Oh my God.
[00:25:28] It's, that's the best version of it.
[00:25:30] But the, the version we got with May was pretty great too.
[00:25:31] I love that movie.
[00:25:32] Oh, it's an amazing movie.
[00:25:34] Yeah.
[00:25:34] I did.
[00:25:35] Uh, yeah.
[00:25:36] The, the Shauna scene was great.
[00:25:37] The May scene was also great.
[00:25:39] I actually thought the Jay and May stuff worked amazing.
[00:25:42] I thought it was really, that like, if you have an established relationship with someone
[00:25:46] and then you've been scared to death and she's like, this is the thing like I've been so scared
[00:25:51] of and this is not how I want it.
[00:25:53] And he basically is like, are you sure that just wasn't about you?
[00:25:55] Like he basically reassures her by going, I'm, I'm fine.
[00:26:00] Like my, your identity is not in my perception of your family.
[00:26:04] Your identity is in you.
[00:26:06] And this is about you and I'm here to support you.
[00:26:08] I'm not here to give you a thumbs up or thumbs down on your family.
[00:26:12] I'm just here to love you.
[00:26:13] I thought that scene was amazing.
[00:26:14] I thought it really, really worked well.
[00:26:16] Uh, what's his shirt?
[00:26:18] What is that?
[00:26:18] What is his shirt?
[00:26:19] A little quarter zip thing with a collar?
[00:26:22] It's a sweater.
[00:26:23] Would that, could I find that or rent the runway?
[00:26:25] Could I rent that on the runway?
[00:26:26] You guys would look really great in that fit.
[00:26:29] Thank you.
[00:26:30] Okay.
[00:26:31] All right.
[00:26:31] Thank you.
[00:26:32] I'll take it.
[00:26:32] I don't know if it's true, but I'll take it.
[00:26:33] We can wear it later tonight on the marathon.
[00:26:34] Deck the homework.com slash marathon.
[00:26:35] That's right.
[00:26:36] Deck the homework.
[00:26:36] Yes, of course.
[00:26:37] Uh, we're going to take a quick break.

[00:26:54] Welcome back everybody to Deck the Homework.
[00:26:56] Hopefully you're watching us on Philo.
[00:26:57] Yeah.
[00:26:58] Hi.
[00:26:59] Thanks for watching us and thanks for getting Philo.
[00:27:01] You mean philo.tv slash DTH?
[00:27:02] That is what I'm talking about.
[00:27:03] Oh my gosh.
[00:27:04] Unlimited DVR.
[00:27:04] Now's the time.
[00:27:05] Now's the time.
[00:27:06] Christmas movie season's here.
[00:27:08] October 18th somewhere.
[00:27:10] Right here.
[00:27:11] October 19th even.
[00:27:12] Yes.
[00:27:13] Yeah.
[00:27:13] Even.
[00:27:14] But yeah, thanks for watching us.
[00:27:16] It means a lot.
[00:27:17] Let's get to, uh, let's get to the wait what's is where we talk about what in this movie
[00:27:21] made us go wait what?
[00:27:21] I'll start with you, Jax.
[00:27:23] I don't really have any traditional wait what's.
[00:27:25] I guess my, my biggest like wait what thing is like, okay, so now, now Mama Nancy definitely
[00:27:34] definitely knows that Amanda is stepping out.
[00:27:38] Uh-huh.
[00:27:39] And, but also is feeling so betrayed by what Frank Jr. did because she was even defending
[00:27:44] him to Amanda and being like, no, there's no way he would do that.
[00:27:48] I mean, is she, is she just at this point going to be like the heck with Frank Jr. Amanda's
[00:27:54] like a daughter to me and go be with Sergio?
[00:27:56] I think she might.
[00:27:56] I gotta be honest.
[00:27:58] What I, my favorite line of this episode might be Margo Martindale talking about Nancy
[00:28:03] when she basically, I don't remember the line, but she basically says something to the effect
[00:28:08] of Nancy's always been that good, supportive Southern, like picture of a Southern woman
[00:28:14] who's like, I'm a helper and a partner and, and, and Margo Martindale says something to,
[00:28:21] she never bothered to, to think about the cause she was supporting.
[00:28:27] And so I would hope that this is about Nancy kind of breaking free of that and being who she
[00:28:33] wants to be, but I don't know.
[00:28:35] I don't know.
[00:28:35] So I, I complete like, that would be so beautiful.
[00:28:40] Even when she goes to Gus and she says, you know, if I had known or she's, you know, she's
[00:28:46] talking to Amanda and saying to Gus, well, Amanda first and saying, if I had known, I would
[00:28:52] have done something.
[00:28:53] And Amanda's saying, yeah, I know your character, but would she have done something?
[00:28:56] Um, also really funny when Gus says to her, when mama Nancy's like, Oh, I know you do the
[00:29:02] same for me.
[00:29:02] And Gus is like, like, you know, I wouldn't Nancy.
[00:29:05] I'm like, yeah, no, she, she wouldn't.
[00:29:07] But that's why this show is funny because we had the Hallmark feels without getting into
[00:29:12] the too much sentimentality.
[00:29:15] Yeah.
[00:29:16] Is that it?
[00:29:18] That's it.
[00:29:19] Um, you know, Sergio, you scoundrel.
[00:29:24] They wake up in the back of the truck with a blanket and a pillow, which means that Sergio
[00:29:34] keeps that handy.
[00:29:35] Sergio always be prepared.
[00:29:38] Sergio is over here last episode being like, I'm not that guy.
[00:29:42] You know, you think I go around kissing women.
[00:29:44] I don't know.
[00:29:44] I've never kissed a woman in my life.
[00:29:46] Oh, the truck.
[00:29:46] Yeah.
[00:29:47] Well, I mean, I've got a blanket and a pillow.
[00:29:48] Oh, okay.
[00:29:49] I'm nothing if not chivalrous.
[00:29:51] Okay.
[00:29:52] Sergio.
[00:29:52] A blanket and a pillow.
[00:29:54] No.
[00:29:54] Doesn't he go stargazing just by himself?
[00:29:57] Yeah.
[00:29:57] He needs that blanket and pillow for sure.
[00:29:59] I didn't see Mary a toolbox in that entire truck, which you is a requirement.
[00:30:05] If you want to drive a pickup truck.
[00:30:06] But he's got a.
[00:30:07] He's got a blanket and a pillow.
[00:30:09] Go on.
[00:30:09] All right.
[00:30:10] Just a quick follow up for both of you.
[00:30:12] Do you.
[00:30:13] What do you think they want us to think happened?
[00:30:15] Because they had all their clothes on.
[00:30:17] They.
[00:30:18] What happened was, is they had relations in the biblical sense.
[00:30:21] They got completely dressed and slept a full eight hours in a truck bed.
[00:30:25] Yeah.
[00:30:26] Are we talking full relations?
[00:30:28] Yes.
[00:30:28] Just like hand stuff.
[00:30:30] I think full relations.
[00:30:31] I think they, for some reason, it was a little cold and there was only one blanket.
[00:30:34] They got completely dressed again.
[00:30:36] I can't imagine them not having full relations and then deciding, and you're still on your
[00:30:42] weight what's, but we've done this before.
[00:30:45] We have?
[00:30:47] We've not done that before.
[00:30:48] We've done this weight what before.
[00:30:51] You are not at the age that Amanda is at and sleeping eight hours in a truck bed comfortably.
[00:30:58] She wakes up like, did you do meth?
[00:31:01] How did you sleep for eight hours?
[00:31:04] Are you under 22 years old?
[00:31:07] No.
[00:31:07] You are not sleeping eight.
[00:31:09] You did not oversleep in the truck bed.
[00:31:12] Jax, would you rather at this point in your life?
[00:31:15] No way.
[00:31:15] I know that you're closer.
[00:31:17] I mean, you're basically 30, but still, Jax.
[00:31:21] Not quite yet.
[00:31:23] I'm honestly closer to 20 than you are at 30, even if you think about it.
[00:31:26] But even you.
[00:31:27] I'm 41, and I saw it.
[00:31:29] She popped her head off the pillow like she could have slept all day.
[00:31:32] She was in a dark room.
[00:31:33] The sun's blaring.
[00:31:35] It's a truck bed.
[00:31:36] Did they have relations and then do some serious drugs?
[00:31:41] Like, there's no doubt.
[00:31:42] Who can say?
[00:31:43] Jax, would you rather sleep on a bamboo bed, survivor style, or a bed of a truck for a night?
[00:31:50] Bamboo bed, for sure.
[00:31:51] Really?
[00:31:51] You think so?
[00:31:52] You?
[00:31:52] 100%.
[00:31:53] Just the truck beds aren't flat.
[00:31:56] They're designed to drain water.
[00:31:58] The truck sleeping?
[00:32:00] Yeah.
[00:32:00] Sleeping in a truck bed?
[00:32:02] I don't think I would do well in any regard, no.
[00:32:04] There was an age when I could just sleep anywhere, like on floor, doesn't matter.
[00:32:09] And I think one day it just was the last time I could do it.
[00:32:12] I don't know when it was, but sometime in my 20s, for the last time I could just fall asleep anywhere.
[00:32:17] And I don't know when that was.
[00:32:19] I have no idea.
[00:32:20] I couldn't get to sleep.
[00:32:20] I can't sleep most places, much less anywhere.
[00:32:22] Now, I can't even imagine.
[00:32:24] Like, we're safely saying that Amanda is in her 30s, yes?
[00:32:29] Yeah.
[00:32:29] Yeah.
[00:32:30] Teenage daughter, she's in her 30s.
[00:32:32] There's just no words.
[00:32:33] No way.
[00:32:34] No way, no way.
[00:32:35] Back to you, Brandon.
[00:32:36] Sorry.
[00:32:36] Can't do it.
[00:32:39] So, May is like barking out orders, like, we're in section two, whatever.
[00:32:43] She sends, I think it's Jay or somebody to go upstairs, and she says, I need an assessment of what's going on upstairs.
[00:32:51] I mean, my guess is more of the same.
[00:32:54] I think it's likely very similar upstairs to what it is downstairs.
[00:33:01] But that's just a guess on my part who can say, really.
[00:33:05] Last but not least, we're in a hurry.
[00:33:08] We are in a hurry.
[00:33:10] We are up against it.
[00:33:10] We're trying to get all this stuff out of here before they send the health inspector, and people are in there just being like, what do you think this is?
[00:33:20] Talking to each other.
[00:33:21] Having full conversations.
[00:33:23] Shut your mouth hole and get to work.
[00:33:26] That's right.
[00:33:26] Stop looking at everything.
[00:33:27] It's not the time.
[00:33:28] What do you think this is from?
[00:33:29] Who cares?
[00:33:30] It doesn't matter where it's from.
[00:33:32] Get it out of the house.
[00:33:33] Yeah.
[00:33:34] Real bad.
[00:33:35] Dan?
[00:33:35] Real bad.
[00:33:36] Most of my big ones we've covered, they do this thing where Amanda, May, Jay, and Gus all go to Gus's house.
[00:33:46] It's the four of them.
[00:33:48] Amanda, May, Gus, Jay.
[00:33:50] Those four people.
[00:33:52] They're in the car.
[00:33:53] They get out of the car because Gus goes over and is like, we got an emergency.
[00:33:56] You remember this.
[00:33:57] Gus and Amanda are like, we need May.
[00:33:59] They go find May.
[00:33:59] Jay is there.
[00:34:00] They meet.
[00:34:01] Those are the four people.
[00:34:02] Correct, Jax?
[00:34:03] Am I correct on this?
[00:34:04] They get out of the car.
[00:34:05] They walk up to the house.
[00:34:06] There's four of them.
[00:34:07] They walk in the house.
[00:34:09] There's five of them.
[00:34:10] It's a full Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego situation.
[00:34:13] The Holy Spirit is there.
[00:34:16] Amanda's daughter appears in the fire where there were five sets of footprints.
[00:34:22] This is crazy to me.
[00:34:24] This is crazy to me.
[00:34:26] Four of them.
[00:34:27] The whole thing.
[00:34:28] And then they walk in and they sneak up Amanda's daughter.
[00:34:31] I can't remember her name.
[00:34:32] She walks in right after them like she's been with them the whole time.
[00:34:37] You're not going to fool me.
[00:34:38] You're not going to fool me, Hallmark.
[00:34:40] Plus, I'm on it.
[00:34:42] I can't believe it.
[00:34:43] I couldn't believe it.
[00:34:44] The analogy was spot on.
[00:34:45] She was walking down the street as teenagers do and was like, hey, that's my family.
[00:34:50] That's right.
[00:34:50] Yeah.
[00:34:51] I wonder what they're doing.
[00:34:52] Wait a daggum minute.
[00:34:53] I know all those folks.
[00:34:54] And then lastly, this is a wait, what more of.
[00:34:56] We know the world that we live in.
[00:34:59] You guys all know this.
[00:35:01] If you are working as a host of a long running reality television program where you are looking
[00:35:09] for new ways to keep things fresh on your program, you are 1,000% getting the footage of them cleaning out that house.
[00:35:20] 1,000%.
[00:35:21] There is not a single, and if you're listening right now and you're a reality TV show producer, I'd love for you to message me and tell me that I'm wrong.
[00:35:28] There's not a single broadcast reality television.
[00:35:32] So that is terrestrial TV on MTV, A&E, CBS.
[00:35:35] Yes, television producer in that moment with full rights and privileges to film that that is not filming it.
[00:35:43] Now, could they be talked about out of using it later?
[00:35:46] Doubtful, but I'll at least give them the benefit of the doubt that they have a soul and a heart.
[00:35:50] There is no world where they are not filming that.
[00:35:56] Am I wrong?
[00:35:56] They're filming it.
[00:35:57] No, I actually think you're exactly right.
[00:36:00] And I think if I sort of had the heart that I think I have, I would say something to them like, no, it's actually not going to be a disaster for your business.
[00:36:09] We're going to have them rooting for you.
[00:36:11] Like we need to tell this story.
[00:36:12] It's beautiful.
[00:36:13] And the reason I'm so strong on this is I would film it.
[00:36:16] Yeah.
[00:36:17] Exactly.
[00:36:17] It's my job, but I would 100% go, hey, what if your kid asked you not to?
[00:36:23] If you're the only reason that that happened is because she storms off.
[00:36:27] Yes.
[00:36:27] Yeah.
[00:36:28] If my kid, my kid wouldn't be on set with me.
[00:36:30] If my teenage kid asked me not to, I would say, son, this is my job.
[00:36:35] I'm sorry.
[00:36:36] I'll explain it to you later.
[00:36:37] That's what I would say to my teenage kid.
[00:36:39] Already what a rocky relationship with him.
[00:36:41] Yeah.
[00:36:41] Yeah.
[00:36:42] I would.
[00:36:42] Hopefully wouldn't have that relationship, but that's what I would say.
[00:36:44] But I would pitch it to the folks out there and say, you have to trust me that this is
[00:36:50] going to paint you in a positive light, not a negative light.
[00:36:52] I'm not here to harm you, but this is part of my job.
[00:36:54] I'm filming this.
[00:36:55] I couldn't believe she was like, shut it down.
[00:36:58] Couldn't believe it.
[00:36:59] That's all I got.
[00:37:00] It's time for chicken or fried.
[00:37:02] Chicken or fried.
[00:37:03] That's where we talk about what we're chicken about or frying about.
[00:37:06] Jax.
[00:37:08] I'm chicken for this final.
[00:37:12] Oh, shoot.
[00:37:12] Am I chicken?
[00:37:13] I am chicken.
[00:37:13] For this very final thing.
[00:37:15] I think we all are.
[00:37:16] Of Gus Fainting.
[00:37:16] Yeah.
[00:37:17] That's right.
[00:37:17] What is going on?
[00:37:18] What is this going to be?
[00:37:19] Yeah.
[00:37:20] Very chicken about that.
[00:37:20] You know, there's lots of things it could be.
[00:37:23] You know, best case, I think maybe best case scenario for the sake of not just throwing
[00:37:29] this storyline out, which I think is your concern, Dan, is that she burned it down and that's
[00:37:34] the end.
[00:37:35] She's hoarding.
[00:37:35] She's no longer going to hoard and she no longer has a mental illness.
[00:37:38] My concern is, is that the house is symbolic for a lot of things and it is the personification.
[00:37:47] Well, not the personification.
[00:37:48] It's the materialization of her mental illness and they've burned it down.
[00:37:52] I'm not worried about her getting over it.
[00:37:54] I think she'll still have a problem.
[00:37:56] My problem is, is that house is very symbolic for a lot of things in this show and when used
[00:38:00] correctly, it allows for good character growth instead of a shortcut to the next problem.
[00:38:05] That's my problem.
[00:38:06] Yeah.
[00:38:06] I think if it's like a, like a really intense, like panic attack that leads to a faint, like,
[00:38:13] oh, like, oh my gosh, I made a mistake.
[00:38:15] Like one of those things, uh, which I would buy.
[00:38:18] Yes.
[00:38:19] I could see that happening.
[00:38:20] Yeah.
[00:38:20] Like I, I'm doing this thing and then you turn around and you're like, oh no, what have
[00:38:24] I done?
[00:38:24] Yeah.
[00:38:25] That's all my stuff.
[00:38:26] Those are my, those are my things, my just in cases.
[00:38:29] Um, and that leads to a full, uh, full, uh, panic attack that leads to her fainting.
[00:38:35] I can see that happening.
[00:38:37] We'll see if it's just like a heart attack from eating too much fried chicken over the
[00:38:40] years, like get out of here.
[00:38:41] But if it's, if it's, if it's a part of the story, I think it, I think it could be something
[00:38:46] that moves it forward.
[00:38:46] We'll see what happens, but I am chicken about it as well.
[00:38:49] I'm chicken about it as well.
[00:38:50] No question.
[00:38:50] Do you feel like, you know, of a lot of panic attacks that lead to a faint?
[00:38:53] The way you said it was like, it was like a thing that always happens.
[00:38:56] It's a panic attack that leads to a faint.
[00:38:58] It's a classic panic attack faint combo.
[00:39:00] I know.
[00:39:00] Like I'm, yeah, I, I'm on the subreddit.
[00:39:03] Uh, the panic attack that leads to a faint subreddit.
[00:39:06] That's where everybody talks about it.
[00:39:07] Um, I don't know if that's a thing to be honest with you.
[00:39:09] It's not, but it sounded convincing.
[00:39:11] Yeah.
[00:39:11] Yeah.
[00:39:11] It's not in my, um, wheelhouse of, of expertise.
[00:39:15] Uh, Dan, anything else?
[00:39:16] Uh, no, that's it.
[00:39:17] Okay, great.
[00:39:18] Uh, stuff for chicken of the week is where we dive deep into the life of a chicken that
[00:39:21] has been submitted to us.
[00:39:22] Hello at deck the homer dot com.
[00:39:23] If you would like to submit a chicken, Dan, who do we have to do this?
[00:39:25] I'm not sure this is following the rules.
[00:39:26] This just says my chicken of the week is Colonel Stork.
[00:39:31] And I'm sorry.
[00:39:32] What is it?
[00:39:32] Colonel Stork.
[00:39:34] Who sent that in?
[00:39:35] Uh, that's from a hep, hep, hep, hep baby.
[00:39:40] Is it?
[00:39:41] Who is this?
[00:39:42] Yeah.
[00:39:43] Colonel Stork.
[00:39:44] Your Colonel Stork.
[00:39:46] Sir.
[00:39:48] I thought your chicken of the week was Colonel Stork.
[00:39:51] Nope.
[00:39:51] Do you understand chicken of the week?
[00:39:54] Yes.
[00:39:55] I'm Colonel, sir.
[00:39:57] Sir.
[00:39:58] Thank you.
[00:40:00] You are, are you a chicken?
[00:40:02] Yes.
[00:40:04] A female chicken.
[00:40:06] All rise.
[00:40:09] Uh, your, your name is Colonel Stork.
[00:40:13] Yeah.
[00:40:13] And you're a chicken.
[00:40:14] Normally we talk to.
[00:40:15] Two, three, four.
[00:40:17] Lay an egg.
[00:40:18] Two, three, four.
[00:40:19] A lot of times we talk to the farmer is, I think this is the first time we've talked to
[00:40:23] the chicken.
[00:40:24] Yeah, that's right.
[00:40:25] Sir.
[00:40:27] Sir.
[00:40:28] How does it feel to be, how does it feel to be chicken?
[00:40:31] I think.
[00:40:31] Are you sure you're not a stork?
[00:40:34] Like a military stork that delivers.
[00:40:36] No, sir.
[00:40:37] Babies.
[00:40:37] Uh, you're not.
[00:40:38] No.
[00:40:39] You're sure.
[00:40:40] As sure as I can be.
[00:40:42] Okay.
[00:40:43] Oh, two, three, four.
[00:40:45] Stork.
[00:40:45] Two, three, four.
[00:40:47] A and a three, four.
[00:40:47] Now there, you did, you did say stork two, three, four.
[00:40:50] No, sir.
[00:40:51] Sir, you did.
[00:40:52] You said, you did.
[00:40:55] No, sir.
[00:40:57] Sir.
[00:40:57] I'm pretty sure you did.
[00:41:00] If we could just go ahead and we can hang it up.
[00:41:02] We can hang it up.
[00:41:03] Quack, quack.
[00:41:04] We could just say quack, quack.
[00:41:06] Ducks are involved now?
[00:41:08] No, sir.
[00:41:08] We've got to do a better job screening the chicken of the week.
[00:41:11] That's what I've learned here.
[00:41:12] We lost them.
[00:41:12] Even, yeah, we lost everybody.
[00:41:14] Jax included.
[00:41:14] We lost everybody.
[00:41:15] No, Jax is still here.
[00:41:16] Jax is a, she just put her, she put her mic on mute.
[00:41:19] Yeah.
[00:41:19] I just, just because I wanted to make sure I didn't interfere.
[00:41:22] Yes.
[00:41:23] Colonel Sanders.
[00:41:24] Stork.
[00:41:24] That's right.
[00:41:25] Stork.
[00:41:25] Colonel Stork.
[00:41:26] Thank you very much.
[00:41:26] And that's sir to you.
[00:41:28] Sir.
[00:41:28] Sir.
[00:41:29] Colonel Sir.
[00:41:30] Thank you.
[00:41:30] Very good.
[00:41:31] Well, we did it, everybody.
[00:41:32] Congratulations.
[00:41:33] One more episode of the Chicken Sisters, and we'll be covering it next week, even though
[00:41:38] it's Christmas season.
[00:41:39] And that doesn't hurt your heart at all.
[00:41:41] Nothing is sacred.
[00:41:42] That's right.
[00:41:42] Nothing is sacred.
[00:41:43] If we can't have only Christmas in October, when can we have it?
[00:41:49] He gets it, folks.
[00:41:50] He died.
[00:41:51] Took him seven years, but he gets it.
