  Speaker 2: of content right now. Think about The Way Home that

  Speaker 2: was in the eighteen hundreds, right, I couldn't tell you.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You're right, Yeah, what year was it? Do you remember
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: eighteen seventy four? Or is this No, this is eighteen
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: seventy four? Like I have to look at the title
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: every single time because it's the eighteen seventy four on here.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, where are we at? And then, of course

• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Hallmark podcast feed the Count of Monte Cristo and The Foresights,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: which are PB masterpiece shows. The KNA Madney Cristo doesn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: take place in the eighteen hunds, but the Foresights do it?
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: Does it? I don't even know when it's set. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: haven't even started. Yes, anyway, lots of period pieces. I
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: want to know, are you watching it? Are you watching
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Home Valley? Like I'm curious because you know, Hallmark Plus
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: has been a struggle for Hallmark to get off the ground,
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and was this the series that's bringing over all the
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: wind calls to hurt people. Excuse me, That's what I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: was thinking, because we've had exclusive releases on Hallmark Plus before,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: but for the most part they've been new like Chicken Sisters,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: and you're trying to like build a new audience and
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: get people over there. Well, they don't have any attachment
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to that show.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And then they tried like we're gonna put the Way
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Home over there, and people went into an uproar because
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: they were like, you can't take it away from us,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: which I understand, And so I think this was a
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: good idea. Take that audience, but give them something new
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: and try and drive them over there. I wonder if
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it's working. I'm dying to now let us know. Let's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: hear a synopsis for this episode.

  Speaker 1: Hey, Wendy, what's your first impression of episode two of

  Speaker 1: Hope Valley eighteen seventy four.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I see the plan here. We're gonna watch Tom and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: rear back. I disagree their way into love over the

  Speaker 2: course of this series, aren't we? Maybe my first impression is.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna need someone to nit me one of those
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: sweater vests, the hattie weears.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Don't they look like like you would put your six
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: shooter in it? Oh? Like a holster. Yeah, it's like
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: a Holster sweater. First of all, I couldn't stop looking
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: at them. They are one piece, I know, and they
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: button in the bag. I don't even think they don't
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: button in the back. They're solid in the back. I
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: don't think I saw latons. Maybe well she has multiple
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: maybe one had buttons. But I was watching, I was
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: looking at it. I'm like, I think that's like a
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: like an infinity piece, Like there's no starting to do it.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: I'm into it. And I was like, it's pretty ingenious.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Like they're not gonna put her in a patagony a
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: vest out here and it's cold. It's called you know,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: who's got to wear a dress. I wonder if the
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: costumer like made those or if they found, you know,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: like commissioned somebody to make them. Very interesting. I knew it.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I noticed too. I notice too, especially hear me out.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: If it's cold today in twenty twenty six and you
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: want to be layered, you can wear that under a jacket.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: But then still it's not bulky in the arms. I know. Right,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: let's bring it back. Maybe. What did you like about
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: this episode? Okay, even though I'm complaining about it, I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: do like the Rebecca versus Tom a little bit. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: we have Tom was a little rough around the way,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: but we also have Rebecca who's super guarded and like
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: I think ultimately they're gonna want the same thing. But
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: I do like the Tom not being He's kind of like,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: get off my lawn sort of behavior. He's not happy
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: about the changes that are coming to the area, and
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: she's like, Yo, I'm trying to make a living out here,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and this is how I'm gonna do it with all
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: these prospectors who are coming here, even though I don't
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: really love the like I want to make a warm
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and cozy place. Girl, you're trying to make a dollar.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: That's what's happening. Sure, So if I'm ay in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: last episode, one of your wishes was I'm going to
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: need a little warmth from these people because it's a
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: lot of like running up against a brick wall. Yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of like what are we doing?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: What have we done? I think we get that here now.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: The tension between Tom and Rebecca was almost starting to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: wear on me because I was like, I don't want
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a whole season of this, Like, yeah, I won't take
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: your money, I won't give you one more. But then,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: first of all, when he eats the pie and he's
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: like obviously doesn't say anything, but then he goes in
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it takes a second giant bite, I'm like, he likes
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: her pie, he's accepting her. I saw hewa about the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: way he's holding his fork.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, it was give me a little Michael Rappaport. I
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: think it's intentional. Okay, I think I noticed it too.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I think it's intentional because to me it speaks like
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you've seen Benjamin Ayers on a zoom call man, draink's
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: out of a blender bottle, love you, Ben.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: My point is I think he's more refined than this. Yes,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: because this was not a refined place.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: He's a rancher. Yeah, there's no school within two hours.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Sure, I noticed it too, but I thought that like grudging,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: like all right, this woman has something to offer, like
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: silly as it may be.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: In the form of a pie.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: But then he shows up for her at the end
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: and it's like, let me lend you a hand. There's
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that hint of acceptance and softening. We get that softening
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: in a couple of other ways. Also, at the end
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: of the episode, people start being on team Rebecca. Lars
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: shows up with the lumber that was stolen, yes, and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: he's like, I'll be back with more. There's a lot
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: of hardship and hope Valley, but we all needed this
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: little bit of light and warmth.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: If you will.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: And finally, in the first episode, I said the relationship
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: that I enjoyed the most was Hattie and Rebecca.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: That remains the.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Relationship I'm enjoying the most, and it grows in this episode.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Hattie gives Rebecca space to open up about how she's
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: really feeling. She has to put on a real brave
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: face and kind of be hard and tough with Tom
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and the prospectors, but Hattie lets her tell it like
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: it is, and there's actual warmth when she shows up
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: and they have tea and she's gotten the stove to work.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: I think we needed those elements.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Of warmth in this episode where she get those teacups
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: in that kettle. She brought them with her in the
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: covered wagon. Yeah, because even her daughter was like, oh,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: we're going to use our fine china. She brought it
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: with her. That's right, right, that is right. But that
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: just seems like bringing covered wagon. What else is in there?
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: You need to clothes? Nah, It just seems like a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: lot of stuff to their whole life is in that line.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: I guess. I guess I'm not ragging on Rebecca as
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: the visionary. I actually really I like a woman who's
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: doing the damn thing and her and Hattie are Yeah,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: I really like that a lot. You know, the boarding
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: house isn't just like a roof for them, like it
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: is a plan for their future what she was running
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: away from, and like creating something new for her and
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: her daughter. I really like that. And then moving on
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: to Hattie and Rebecca, I really enjoyed that tea conversation too,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: because they're talking about dreamers versus, you know, being practical.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: That's my takeaway from it. And you know, Hattie's perspective
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: was like, oh I had a husband who was a dreamer,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and then she has to be the flow, right, like
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: she's you know whatever. I thought. Rebecca's perspective was touching,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: where she's like, that's what we want from our children
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: is to dream. We want them to go out and
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: chase those things. And like, I don't think Hattie had
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: gotten that perspective yet. And so when she's looking at
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: her own daughter Olivia, and they have that great scene
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: at the moment at the end, sorry, she's like, if
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: something presents itself, go after it. And I just love
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: arc loved it, loved it, loved it. Speaking of Actually
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: we're not speaking of it, but I'm into this love
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: triangle that is blossoming here between Olivia Clayton and I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: just might not say the Mounte Constable Vaughan. Yeah, I
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I'm into it.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Heart breaks for poor little Clayton because the fact that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he is from here and works here and this is
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: likely his future works against him in Olivia's eyes. Totally
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: fair for no reason other than she does not want
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: to be from here.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: When she's like.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: You're from Toronto, yeah, like stars in her eyes. And
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the Constable doesn't need to do anything else but be
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: exotic as far as Olivia's Yeah.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: The best part of the episode was the end when
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Constable Vaughan is writing his notes or letter back to whomever,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: and he's like, everything is fine here, like even all
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: the like you know, the little I'm not gonna say
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: riff raff, but like the skirmishes they're having here, Like
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: this is all like normal everyday stuff, but it is
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Rebecca Clerk who has pequed my interest. And I was like, oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: now we're onto something. Yeah.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: When he's like what would cause her to move so
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: far away? In that same vein, I like that we're
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: building some tension between Rebecca and the law. This is
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: the second episode in a row that Tom has hinted
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: that he knows that she must be on the run,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and he says, don't worry about the Mounty. If he
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: were here for you, you would know it already. Yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: And neither of them says anything else. She doesn't say
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: what do you know? Or she just leaves it yeah,
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't push. But he said something similar in
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: the first episode, and it's very interesting that he sees
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: that in her but isn't working against her in that way.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: You know, last week you asked me if there was
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: a character that I was really into, and while I
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: don't think there's a one single character that I'm into.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: After last week's introduction, what I thought would happen did happen,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: and is said, we get a lot of new storyline openings,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: like you said the love triangle. We also have this
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: very focused battle that Tom is having with Archie over
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: who owns the land? Yeah, and then we have the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: women who are perhaps going to get a chance to
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: learn to read, among other things. I think it's really
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: interesting that the constable goes to Tom and Tom's like
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: I own the land?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: I can tell him to get off, and he's like.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: Under the law, you don't, like you need to apply
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: for a patent showing that you own this land. Yeah,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: And Tom's like, yeah, I'm not gonna do that. And
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: I want to be like, yo, unless you have something
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: to hide, you want.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: All these guys to follow the rules. You need to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: follow the rules. What this story there, do you? Yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: like you're not above the law. Yeah, don't be so difficult. Yeah, totally, totally.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: What do you think about the storyline of the mccabes
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: not knowing how to read? And then Tom goes to
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Rebecca and is like, hey, yeah, this would be awesome
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: if you could teach them how to read and write.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, I liked it. I have some thoughts on
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: we'll talk about it, but I liked it. I thought
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: it was really interesting how husband McCabe, whose name I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: can't think of at the moment, Nash maybe Sam, I
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: think Samy's Sun. Oh, you're right, I don't remember, really
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: pushes back against Peggy when she like, our kids could
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have more than we had, and I don't know what's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: going on there, which just a quick flash of an
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: argument that we see and I don't know if he's
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: embarrassed or if what's the alternative because there isn't a
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: school for two hours, so.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: How what are they going to do?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but I honestly do like Tom stepping
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: in and saying like there's an easy solution here.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I liked it too, but like I saw
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: that coming. Yeah, well, it took me maybe a little
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: bit longer to get there because I was like, Oh,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the daughter can't read because there's no school, but why
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: didn't the mom teacher read? Oh? Because the mom doesn't
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: know how to read either, Like you know, it took
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: me a minute.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was surprised at the mom, the mom not
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: knowing that when she says like, oh, we'll leave the
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: book with you, and she's like, oh no again, I
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: was like, oh, mom, I can't read.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: An though I did notice and like the background, they
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: had like some letters on the wall. I was like,
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: who's reading. I don't think it'd be in a jerk
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: about it. It's just like one of those things I noticed. Yeah,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: it's all Maybe they were bills, but I don't know
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: if bills cut. I don't know, Okay, bills, they're electric
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: bill in the mail for them to light their wood stove.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I have to tell you that when she was idiots
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: when no, when she would no, no, no, no, Because when
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: she was like we got a the daughter's like, how
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: are gonna get that stove to work? And she's like, oh,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: elbow grease. And I was like, but is there a
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: gas line? Like good, no, there is not. Don't try
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to make me feel better. No. I genuinely thought that.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: And I was like, they're gonna put wood in there
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: because I would not survive in eighteen seventy four, okay
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: me either barely survive in twenty twenty six. No. No.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: When they were sleeping in last week and when they
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: were sleeping in that tent and the water starts dripping,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm out. I'm so out, get me
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: out of here. I would have never been the woman
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, we're going to sleep in our tent
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: and not. When they go to the prospector's camp and
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: that woman is raising her baby in the tent, I'm.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: Like I can't. This is not I was not man
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: to live an uncomfortable line. And it was cold too,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I know. She's like, when can we move in? I
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, God, just let her move in and
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: sleep in the corner, please. She needs to get her
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: baby out of this camp. Oka, I have a question
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: for you. So, like when Rebecca goes to the Prospector's camp, right,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: and she's like those are my shutters and that's the
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: wood from my like whatever. It was kind of like
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: the moment in high school when like you have the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: big monologue and then like the kids start like slow clapping,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Like that's what I thought was going to happen there.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I was a little bit surprised at everybody's like GTFO, yes,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: I can just showed me middle fingers. I was kind
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: of surprised that, like I thought, she gave it a
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: very impassioned speech, like she's like this, I'm trying to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: make something for you guys here. Yeah, these men were
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: not going to bow down to this little lady. There's
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: no way say impassion. That's not an Actually that's the
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: word is a job. Okay, wanna talk wishes? I do
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: I need more clarity on Rebecca's past. Look, I know
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I keep saying like, yeah, don't hand me over the
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: head with it begin with something. Yeah, I don't want
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to wait all season. I don't want to wait all
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: season here, we we know she has a husband or
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: had a husband named Jim, and that their life was
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: not terrible. No, and he still loves her, right, like
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: their relationship didn't end badly other than that he died,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: because he's like, I'm proud of you. You're doing it
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: in her dream sequence, right, she wasn't scared of him
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: when she's find right in the first episode, because remember
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I talked about I thought it was a bruise on
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: her face, but it was probably just dirt. I thought
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: she was like scared of the husband, was running from him,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: But that does not seem to be. That's not tracking here,
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: So that's okay, but it's leading into a bigger mystery,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: like does he have like a very wealthy family that
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: wants control of her child? Don't know, Like what's the story?
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Would give me something? What is she running from? Why
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: she scared of the police because the police wouldn't make
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: her go back to a place that she left unless
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: like she did something. I mean, I don't mean, I
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: don't know, I don't would they I don't know. I mean,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: did women in eighteen seventy four have like free will
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: to do whatever they're a agency. Yeah.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, like we're seeing strong women here,
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: but I don't know how much agency these women was there.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. My next wish is he gets there
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit like you said at the end, but
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: Tom needs to smooth out his resistance a little bit.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Like I just I get the perspective that he wants
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: to protect his land, right, like he doesn't want these
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: people coming in and trying to like find gold on
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: his land or ruin his land or steal from him
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: or whatever. She's just so rigid. Sometimes he is rigid
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: for sure. It's okay, Like I don't hate it. I
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: just I need him to be a little more likable
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: for me to fall in love with Tom Moore. That's all.
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: I feel like.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Rebecca is being pulled in perhaps too many different directions
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: at this point. She has medical knowledge and will likely
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: be called upon again in the future. I'm actually surprised
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: she hasn't yet she delivered that baby. She's teaching Jenny
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: and Peggy to read. Which is that's going to turn
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: into more of a school situation or is this going
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: A one off?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, maybe she'll teach Jenny and Peggy to read
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and then Peggy will be able to carry that on,
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: because this woman cannot run a school and then also
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: renovate and run a boarding house.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: That's a full time job.
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Because she I assume plans on offering meals and she's
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: going to need to be in charge over there as
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: well as being a single mother and raising a child
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: on the frontier. Life is not easy, so she's there's
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: a lot that she's being asked to do.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Am I I'm kind of into watching Rebecca like DIY
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: this boarding house me too. I don't know why, but
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: I can't wait to see like the big reveal that
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: it's like, I like before and after, so the fireplace
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: in the corner and the comfy chairs and where she
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: gonna get all that stuff? Though I don't know people
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: vince I guess, but she's like, ah, I got to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: fix the roof. I was like, are you gonna be
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: up there on that roof with the hammer and the
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: nails doing on? Don't know? She was outside split logs
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: of trying into lumber forfore true. I don't know. Maybe
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: maybe the prospectors are going to help. Oh that would
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: be interesting. Do you have any more wishes? That's it?
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: I just have one sticking point. It is the dialogue. Again.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I'm noticing it in this episode too, Like Rebecca's dialogue
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: is just different from everybody else's. I'm gonna have to
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: pay closer attention to that in future episodes. Maybe it's
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: an me thing perhaps, or maybe it's intentional to make
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: her stand out as a city girl that too, who
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: has more education than the majority of these people. Yeah,
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: let's talk to you to see that. I have two things,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: let's hear it. The first thing is and I noticed
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: it in the costume, mean in this episode, I need
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: to know what is happening in the skirt situation with
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: like the volume and the structure, like it cinches in
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: at the waist and then it goes real voluminous and
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: they're wearing something underneath there. I don't know, it's like
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: a bump thing that they wear underneath. But I noticed,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: like Rebecca's thing is like over her butt. Yes, but
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: what was the purpose of that? Oh? I think it's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: just fashion of the eighteen seventy fours. I mean, I'm like,
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: what's under there? A metal like dress form. The bump
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: or structural fullness under a skirt is called a bustle.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: A padded undergarment or wire frame used to create this
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: and support the drapery at the back of the skirt
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: just below the waist, popular in the nineteenth century, designed
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: to prevent heavy fabrics from dragging and to make the
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: waist appear smaller. Man women can't catch a freaking break,
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: creating a dramatic s curved silhouette as I'm splitting logs
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: in the back and my metal dress. Let her wear pants.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: My gosh, look at me in my pants. Look at
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: me and my pants. Great.
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: My mom used to tell me that, you know, they
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: weren't allowed to wear pants to school, and when it
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: would rain, she and her friends would all call each
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: other and be like, are you gonna wear jeans?
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna wear jeans? Because it was raining and
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: that was the only reason they Oh wow, yeah. She's like,
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: they can't give all of us attention. My other did
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: you see? That was a funny one. I loved when
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: they're in the trading post and Olivia is talking with
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Clayton and Constable Vaughn and Hattie's just in the back
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: watching Dustine. I was like so much mom energy there.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: I loved it, Like why I like, what's happening here?
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: Like she knows what's happening. I loved it. It's like
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: just a little little something that made me laugh. I
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: have just wanted to see that. And that is.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: As I was watching the show, my husband walked through
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the room and saw Benjamin Airs on screen. He goes,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: looks like Carl By, which he means Radkey from Summerhouse.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: Does not look like Carl Radkey. No, it was the scruff.
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: But I'm telling you, if there is a movie version
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: of Summerhouse, maybe Airs could play Radkey. That's the Can
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: you see Airs as like the reform drug addict mid
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: two thousand? Boy? Yeah, guys, I'm in the mix. Yeah yeah.
