1:29
Speaker 1: I'm stalling for time because I'm frantically trying to open
1:32
Speaker 1: the phone number. I should put it in my notes,
1:34
Speaker 1: and I don't. I know it's nine four nine. It
1:38
Speaker 1: is nine four nine three two nine eight zero nine zero,
1:43
Speaker 1: a pretty easy phone number to remember. I was able
1:45
Speaker 1: to pick, and so I picked because I thought it
1:49
Speaker 1: looked memorable. I have questions. Did you try to like
1:54
Speaker 1: come up with some sort of I did, but that
1:56
Speaker 1: it was two in the weeds, and I just thought,
1:58
Speaker 1: this is not worth like one eight hundred Gghan. I'm
2:03
Speaker 1: sure I think I was like out of town you work, because,
2:07
Speaker 1: like we have, we're launching a Can we talk about
2:12
Speaker 1: it here? Sure, we're launching a second podcast that has
2:16
Speaker 1: nothing to do with Hallmark. No, we'll be promoting it here.
2:19
Speaker 1: Keep your ears peeled. Some of you might be interested, yes,
2:21
Speaker 1: And you know, there's a lot of like back end
2:24
Speaker 1: work on that, like it needs a website and this
2:26
Speaker 1: and that. And Megan's always like I can't too many options?
2:29
Speaker 1: Is too many options? Love it and leave it. I
2:31
Speaker 1: just got to pick something and be done with it,
2:34
Speaker 1: because it it all comes down to like return on investment.
2:36
Speaker 1: How much is this extra time that I've spent thinking
2:40
Speaker 1: about this thing going to matter totally. So, like with
2:42
Speaker 1: the phone thing, I it's a Google Voice number, y'all,
2:46
Speaker 1: which is free, and so they don't give you the
2:48
Speaker 1: option to like search by like you know, enter a
2:52
Speaker 1: word that you're trying to make it and then it
2:55
Speaker 1: was too much for me to try and like reverse engineer. Sure,
2:59
Speaker 1: so you good numbers, y'all, but those numbers are easy
3:02
Speaker 1: to remember. My brain is just not it's out of
3:04
Speaker 1: working form. Like I don't remember phone numbers anymore. I
3:09
Speaker 1: don't even know my daughter's phone number. I know my sons,
3:11
Speaker 1: but I have not memorized my daughter's. It's bad, right,
3:14
Speaker 1: It's not because I love one of my children more,
3:16
Speaker 1: just one of them has had a phone longer. Not
3:19
Speaker 1: by much though. Two years, okay, so you got two years,
3:23
Speaker 1: three years? Actually three years? Yeah, it's I just never
3:27
Speaker 1: have to know the number. If we ever went to jail,
3:30
Speaker 1: who would you call? I don't know when? Well, luckily
3:33
Speaker 1: I know my husband's phone number, I know my mom's
3:36
Speaker 1: phone number, I know my son's phone number. My children
3:39
Speaker 1: would be of no help. What do they all do?
3:42
Speaker 1: I know? So? Do you know my phone number? No?
3:44
Speaker 1: I know your prefix. You're about seven digits off. But yeah,
3:50
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I don't know it. That's all right.
3:54
Speaker 1: I can envision that that can get you out of jail,
3:56
Speaker 1: so you might want to remember it. Hey, let's hear
3:59
Speaker 1: a synopsis of Hearts around the Table Sherry's second act.
4:03
Speaker 1: Cherry just moved back to d C after a breakup
4:06
Speaker 1: and hopes to start painting again. Inspiration hits when she
4:10
Speaker 1: meets Evan, a repair man who winds up actually being
4:13
Speaker 1: a gallery owner. Time out. I don't remember him being
4:17
Speaker 1: a gallery owner. I don't have any idea what this
4:20
Speaker 1: movie is about, other than she moved back to DC
4:25
Speaker 1: when she was divorced and she has some foster siblings. Yeah,
4:29
Speaker 1: but I don't remember Evan being a gallery owner either. Look,
4:32
Speaker 1: I owns that space that like artist space, Bob, that's
4:36
Speaker 1: not a gallery. Well, they set up that gallery. I know.
4:39
Speaker 1: I know who is writing these synopsis. Marco Depenia directed.
4:45
Speaker 1: Marco directed three of the four Hearts around the Table movies.
4:48
Speaker 1: Looking for even more Marcodophemia work, you could check out
4:52
Speaker 1: the last three The Jan Mystery Movies, which are available
4:54
Speaker 1: on Hallmark Plus. Neil Kimmel wrote the script for Sherry's
4:58
Speaker 1: second act. She will go on to write the next

Speaker 1: two Hearts Around the Table movies. Her previous scripts include
5:06
Speaker 1: several of the Jane Mystery movies, Jazz Ramsey, a K
5:10
Speaker 1: nine Mystery, as well as a handful of other Hallmark

Speaker 1: appeared in eight hundred two episodes. She has a vast
5:24
Speaker 1: resume of projects, including Chicago med as well as a
5:27
Speaker 1: twenty twelve appearance in the series Beauty and the Beast. However,
5:31
Speaker 1: her only other Hallmark project is Christmas with the Kiss
5:33
Speaker 1: from twenty twenty three. Brendon Morgan plays Evan btw There's
5:38
Speaker 1: no relation between these two. They're both Oh the lass

6:00
Speaker 1: acting credits, including Hallmark movies like Napa ever After and
6:03
Speaker 1: Holiday Heritage. Hey, let's take a quick break and we'll
6:06
Speaker 1: come right back with our first impressions of Hearts around
6:10
Speaker 1: the Table Sherry's second act. Hey, Wendy, what was your
6:21
Speaker 1: first impression of sherry second act? Well, all the good
6:23
Speaker 1: things I said about Hearts around the Table, Jenna's first
6:26
Speaker 1: love stops there. Yeah, I wanted to like this movie.
6:30
Speaker 1: I was so sad, such a bait and switch. My
6:35
Speaker 1: first impression is did everyone realize that that was Evan's
6:38
Speaker 1: grandmother's painting in the sitting room before I did? Yes?
6:42
Speaker 1: I didn't. Didn't when she when Sharry realizes it, I
6:49
Speaker 1: was like, Oh, I should have seen that one coming,
6:51
Speaker 1: but I didn't. It's because the movie was not that
6:53
Speaker 1: good that you were, and not that closely invested or
6:56
Speaker 1: watching the details. I didn't care. And I'm sorry to
7:00
Speaker 1: say that, because there are some good things about this
7:02
Speaker 1: series overall, which is kind of where my likes start. Okay, Like,
7:07
Speaker 1: I like how we reconnect with the siblings at the
7:09
Speaker 1: top of the movie, similar to the way we meet
7:11
Speaker 1: them all in Movie one. I like bringing them together
7:15
Speaker 1: in that way and tying the series together. I'm curious
7:18
Speaker 1: to see if that gets tired by movie four. Okay,
7:24
Speaker 1: but I was happy to see the siblings again. It
7:29
Speaker 1: was disjointed, though, don't you think the opening just their involvement?
7:36
Speaker 1: Oh my wishes are there's one million things. Okay, okay, okay, okay, fine,
7:41
Speaker 1: let's let's keep to the likes them. I only have
7:44
Speaker 1: two likes. Okay. First of all, Michelle and Brendan are
7:48
Speaker 1: a gorgeous couple, true gorgeous people, smoking hot. But these
7:54
Speaker 1: characters are super boring. Yeah, Like there there were several
7:59
Speaker 1: times where she looked at him where it felt like
8:03
Speaker 1: fire like and I was like, Okay, she's a good
8:05
Speaker 1: actress because she knows how to use like her eyes
8:07
Speaker 1: and her face all in the scene. Right, But just
8:09
Speaker 1: like there was nothing. They were so boring. Well, it
8:13
Speaker 1: was just so hard to root for them because I
8:14
Speaker 1: didn't understand what was happening. Your point about being being
8:19
Speaker 1: disjointed is very correct. Hey, I still love Sherry's wardrobe.
8:22
Speaker 1: I said I in movie one and in movie two
8:24
Speaker 1: it's a standout A plus. I love the way she dresses.
8:28
Speaker 1: There's some bright patterns. She just has this casual, cool
8:32
Speaker 1: artist look. About her. I love when she wears like
8:35
Speaker 1: a big oversized like button down or she just looks
8:38
Speaker 1: cool all the time. This was my second Like there
8:41
Speaker 1: was a green and white short set that she wore
8:43
Speaker 1: with white tennis shoes and it was so cute, super cute.
8:47
Speaker 1: I do have something in my digity that about her clothes.
8:53
Speaker 1: Nothing bad, just curious, that's all. And I also I
8:57
Speaker 1: like a post of war storyline. We don't get a
8:59
Speaker 1: ton of. This is like a new thing in the
9:01
Speaker 1: Hallmark universe. It's not done well, but I'm glad we're
9:05
Speaker 1: doing it. Is her ex like the coolest like ambassador
9:08
Speaker 1: or whatever. He is like that you've ever seen. Yeah,
9:11
Speaker 1: are there a lot of non old old white dude
9:15
Speaker 1: ambassadors out there in the world. Yeah, guy's like young
9:18
Speaker 1: in him. I feel like ambassador is a role for
9:20
Speaker 1: someone who is like kind of aged out of being
9:23
Speaker 1: like super effective in actual government, but they give him
9:27
Speaker 1: like this title. Yeah mm hmm. Yeah. He was like
9:32
Speaker 1: young and real cool. Yeah, super cool. And the one
9:37
Speaker 1: scene that they show with him where he's like on
9:39
Speaker 1: the phone with her, it kind of felt I was like, Oh,
9:44
Speaker 1: I've met a dude like this before, Like he was
9:46
Speaker 1: like almost playing with her a little bit. You know
9:53
Speaker 1: what I mean? Yo, you're divorced, don't now be flirty
9:59
Speaker 1: and cute? Yeah? And you're divorced for reasons that have
10:04
Speaker 1: to do with you. Yeah yeah, Do you have any
10:08
Speaker 1: other likes? I'm ready to talk. Wish it? Okay, me too,
10:11
Speaker 1: you can go first. Okay. This feels like a case
10:14
Speaker 1: of two people pleasers not being able to have a conversation,
10:17
Speaker 1: like what is their actual conflict? What are they fighting about?
10:20
Speaker 1: Does anybody know? Does anybody know what these people are
10:22
Speaker 1: mad at each other about? Because what were they mad about?
10:28
Speaker 1: I don't recall. When they finally get together, they have
10:31
Speaker 1: all this talk about like I need to take it slow.
10:34
Speaker 1: I can'tvertion into anything. I'm just out of a relationship,
10:37
Speaker 1: and he's like, we can take it slow, no problem,
10:38
Speaker 1: and then boom, she's introducing him to the family and
10:41
Speaker 1: she's like, this is my muse, my best friend. My
10:45
Speaker 1: two weeks you wanted to take it slow, and now
10:47
Speaker 1: you're all in what is it? Look? It's okay to
10:52
Speaker 1: be confused post divorce, Like say, it's like you're in
10:55
Speaker 1: a marriage where like you're not really seen or appreciated.
10:59
Speaker 1: And then you get to and you're like, I'm gonna
11:01
Speaker 1: take it slow. And then you have like a dude
11:03
Speaker 1: who's like hot and like into you and wants to
11:07
Speaker 1: see you. But you're like, oh, I still want to
11:10
Speaker 1: take it slow. Like it's it's confusing. So like that,
11:13
Speaker 1: that's interesting. It just wasn't developed enough. No, you don't
11:18
Speaker 1: think so. I don't think it was developed at all.
11:20
Speaker 1: I agree, But do you know why I think that
11:25
Speaker 1: is the case. Tell me we spend entirely. As much
11:28
Speaker 1: as I love the siblings, there's way too much of
11:31
Speaker 1: them in this movie. Why is there so much Josh
11:33
Speaker 1: and Kyle in this movie? This isn't Josh's movie. Why
11:35
Speaker 1: do we have this whole storyline I set up for
11:38
Speaker 1: movie three? Babe? It's too much. It's Sherry's movie. Give
11:42
Speaker 1: her a moment, I know. But they they were in
11:46
Speaker 1: it equally ish the first movie, and that was Jenna's movie.
11:50
Speaker 1: I don't think so well. I think it makes more
11:54
Speaker 1: sense if they were just focusing on the Sunday night dinners.
11:58
Speaker 1: Yea yeah, yeah, that would make sense where they would
12:01
Speaker 1: be around and not unlike the every day yes this
12:06
Speaker 1: phone call, use this Sunday night dinner as a way
12:09
Speaker 1: to reconnect, we learn what's going on with them. We
12:11
Speaker 1: get hints about like Kiki's food truck, and maybe Sherry
12:15
Speaker 1: herself visits Keiki's food truck, but we don't need Keky's
12:17
Speaker 1: food truck existing on its own. Maybe Sherry has some
12:20
Speaker 1: involvement with Josh and Kyle, but we don't need Josh
12:23
Speaker 1: and Kyle existing on their own outside of the Sunday
12:26
Speaker 1: Night dinner or Kyle's story like that should be in Josh,
12:30
Speaker 1: don't I agree, or he could be discussing it. But
12:33
Speaker 1: you know, like we had what's their other teenage Rory
12:37
Speaker 1: Rory kind of made sense because in the first movie,
12:40
Speaker 1: I'm making all these hand motions, Jenna was involved in
12:44
Speaker 1: Rory's ultimate resolution, and so to me, it made sense
12:48
Speaker 1: to have that involved. I just thought, with a movie
12:52
Speaker 1: where I don't understand what's going on, like I don't
12:56
Speaker 1: really understand, they're constantly mad at each other, like once
12:59
Speaker 1: pulling back, then the other one's pulling back, and then
13:03
Speaker 1: it just seems like we could have used that time
13:05
Speaker 1: for more character development. I agree, I absolutely agree with
13:08
Speaker 1: all of that. It was kind of all over the
13:11
Speaker 1: place and did not make sense. Yeah, For me, I
13:15
Speaker 1: thought the writing and the script was remarkably different from
13:20
Speaker 1: the first movie. Yes, different writers. I was really disappointed
13:26
Speaker 1: overall because I loved the tone and the pace and
13:29
Speaker 1: the messaging in that first movie. Like it shocks me
13:32
Speaker 1: in that first movie how much I liked it. Yeah,
13:34
Speaker 1: this one super fell flat in comparison. And I don't
13:39
Speaker 1: want to be like that writer was good and this
13:41
Speaker 1: writer is bad. I think maybe this movie series didn't
13:46
Speaker 1: need to be made into four movies. Maybe we could
13:49
Speaker 1: have just left it hearts around the table that first movie,
13:53
Speaker 1: you know, and it'd be done. Yeah. There was some
13:56
Speaker 1: dialogue in this movie that I just me chuckle and
14:02
Speaker 1: not in a good way. When Evan is talking about
14:05
Speaker 1: the artist's co op space, like she's there, he's I
14:09
Speaker 1: can't remember this is not their first scene, but the
14:12
Speaker 1: kind of the second scene. He's like doing some work
14:14
Speaker 1: in the space and he's like, yeah, it was my
14:17
Speaker 1: grandfather's or whatever, and he wanted this is what he said.
14:20
Speaker 1: He wanted to create a place where artists could be creative.
14:24
Speaker 1: I was just like groundbreaking, Like what is this? Don't say,
14:27
Speaker 1: what is this writing? Yeah, like this this feels so surface,
14:31
Speaker 1: there's nothing there there's nothing deeper between, Like there's no
14:36
Speaker 1: messaging like I thought the first movie had all this
14:38
Speaker 1: wonderful messaging. If you remember, I was like, man, they
14:41
Speaker 1: gave some great like parental advice in this movie. There
14:44
Speaker 1: was none of that in this Also, what is the
14:50
Speaker 1: freaking timing of this movie? I don't know. We're post Jenna, right,
14:56
Speaker 1: but I don't even remember if Sherry in the first
14:58
Speaker 1: movie was like I'm getting a divorce and I'm here
15:02
Speaker 1: like I don't I don't know. Yeah, and then she
15:07
Speaker 1: goes back to wherever, like whatever other country she was
15:10
Speaker 1: living in and gets all her stuff and then moves
15:12
Speaker 1: back and gets a divorce in that time, Like what
15:15
Speaker 1: is happening? Very confused about that. I thought Sherry seemed
15:22
Speaker 1: different in this movie compared to the first one, less fun,
15:26
Speaker 1: less fun. Well. I thought in the first one, like
15:28
Speaker 1: she was tough and opinionated, and remember, like we really
15:30
Speaker 1: liked her, like she was she was telling some hard
15:33
Speaker 1: truths in that first movie, like she was kind of
15:35
Speaker 1: like she wasn't hard on her sister, but she was
15:37
Speaker 1: very real, yeah, And in this one, I just feel
15:42
Speaker 1: like she was dry maybe mm hmmm. When do you
15:45
Speaker 1: have a note to tell me yeah about the timeline.
15:48
Speaker 1: Tell me so, we have an email. We actually read
15:50
Speaker 1: it in a listener mail bag episode, but we weren't
15:52
Speaker 1: watching these movies yet. Oh go ahead, and it's an
15:54
Speaker 1: email from Era, who says, I've got lots of thoughts
15:56
Speaker 1: on the second hearts around the table. This is just
15:58
Speaker 1: going to reinforce what you were saying. Am I going
16:00
Speaker 1: in saying that the timeframe makes no sense? This movie
16:03
Speaker 1: opens with the sibling surprising Sherry at the airport with
16:06
Speaker 1: welcome home signs, making it seem like she is just
16:08
Speaker 1: riving home after a long stretch of time. But she
16:10
Speaker 1: was in the entire first movie. I thought maybe the
16:13
Speaker 1: movies were jumping around the timeframe, but from the context
16:15
Speaker 1: clue such as Rory's advancement on the track team, seems
16:18
Speaker 1: to have been a couple weeks at most. That being said,
16:21
Speaker 1: I did still enjoy the film. Now, can we talk
16:23
Speaker 1: about that Ai generated cat portrait at the antique shop?
16:25
Speaker 1: I got thoughts on that, and she says, And when
16:28
Speaker 1: Sherry handed over that huge cat portrait to Kiki and
16:31
Speaker 1: she hung it in her tiny little food truck, I
16:32
Speaker 1: was cracking up. Surprised it even fits inside. I'm going
16:36
Speaker 1: to say this. My final thought is in regard to
16:38
Speaker 1: Sherry realizing that one of Evan's grandmother's paintings has been
16:40
Speaker 1: hanging in her foster mother's house for years. I love
16:43
Speaker 1: how she just takes it off the walls and hands
16:44
Speaker 1: it straight to Evan. No second thoughts. Hope mom wasn't
16:47
Speaker 1: too attached to it. So thank you Era Times two
16:52
Speaker 1: for that feedback. Yeah for sure. I Also, I think
16:55
Speaker 1: I saw in our Facebook group that Ara mind I
16:58
Speaker 1: said this was her favorite movie of the entire month. Really,
17:03
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. I have a couple more wishes. Yeah,
17:09
Speaker 1: two things. What I loved about the first movie was
17:12
Speaker 1: the like heart and soul surrounding their foster storyline. And
17:16
Speaker 1: I had even said in our review, like, if that
17:18
Speaker 1: movie just ended up being about Jenna's love story, it
17:21
Speaker 1: would have been completely Yeah, a bummer of a movie
17:25
Speaker 1: for me. Well that is this movie. It is just
17:28
Speaker 1: Sherry's love story and I can't get into it. Yeah,
17:31
Speaker 1: give me more, Mindy more, Angie. That's my last thing.
17:34
Speaker 1: Mindy Cone was not used enough in this movie. Like,
17:36
Speaker 1: I loved her energy in the last one, and she
17:38
Speaker 1: would just I like the moments where she connects with
17:41
Speaker 1: her in like the little den area and she was like,
17:43
Speaker 1: this is where he would come and those are nice
17:45

Speaker 1: hear It is the letting go cake, the homewark equivalent
17:57
Speaker 1: of the hear me Out cake. Do you know to
17:59
Speaker 1: hear me out cake? No? This is the sign of
18:03
Speaker 1: being chronically online. To hear me out cake. Have you
18:06

Speaker 1: the cake. Yeah, so hear me out. I don't know
18:14
Speaker 1: the original origin, but there were couples on TikTok who
18:17
Speaker 1: would have a cake and they would be like, hear
18:19
Speaker 1: me out, and then they would have like people that
18:22
Speaker 1: they were attracted to that might seem like unconventional mm hmmm.
18:26
Speaker 1: So you might be like the actor who plays mister Bean,
18:30

Speaker 1: on the cake. Hmmm. Or it would be like hear

Speaker 1: me out, just gonna wrap it sure, I get it.
18:40
Speaker 1: So to me, that's what the Letting Go Cake felt like.
18:43
Speaker 1: They're like, how can we incorporate this idea, this like
18:46
Speaker 1: trending idea into this movie. Maybe that's not what they're doing,
18:49
Speaker 1: but that's what gave to me interesting. Maybe we should
18:52
Speaker 1: have a hear me Out cake when we like are

Speaker 1: out with him, this is a great way. My next
19:50
Speaker 1: thing is Josh's student that he's helping run track Kyle.

20:27
Speaker 1: a reboot of it. Oh they are. Yeah, I'm sure
20:30

20:36
Speaker 1: like pretty much, yeah, pretty much. Anyway, thank you. I
20:41
Speaker 1: Clueless added to the list. We previously talked about Sherry's
20:44
Speaker 1: super cute outfits. Yeah, she's painting. She's wearing skinny jeans,
20:50
Speaker 1: high heels, no apron no, like, what are those called?
20:55
Speaker 1: Like a smock? Smock? Nothing? Yeah? You and I used
20:59
Speaker 1: to paint a lot. We would go and do like
21:01
Speaker 1: painting classes, paint and sip classes like a non problematic
21:06
Speaker 1: painting teacher in Orange County. Please, but you had to
21:09
Speaker 1: wear an apron because you would get paint all of
21:11
Speaker 1: yourself fully. My next like kind of WTF. She's trying
21:15
Speaker 1: to get like Evan to like tap into his childhood
21:19
Speaker 1: and they're literally finger painting with like tempera paints. I'm like,
21:25
Speaker 1: what is happening here? Yeah, dumb the cat pizza painting
21:31
Speaker 1: to be found in the antique shop. Yeah, terrible, terrible, terrible. Also,
21:37
Speaker 1: she doesn't want that in her food truck. It's in
21:39
Speaker 1: the way. It's so huge, it's it's almost comically huge,
21:43
Speaker 1: like in Gilmour Girls in the Year in a Life
21:46
Speaker 1: when they have the big portrait of Richard after his
21:51
Speaker 1: here in the Life one. Yes, yes, yes, yes, but
21:55
Speaker 1: don't they do a Rory one at some point and
21:57
Speaker 1: it's like it's season one and it's like over the
21:59
Speaker 1: man it is, Yeah, but Lorala had one of hers
22:02
Speaker 1: as well, and that storyline was like because Emily had
22:07
Speaker 1: Rory doing some crazy thing with like a swan and
22:10
Speaker 1: like holding her hand over her head and it was
22:12
Speaker 1: like this, I'm sure launching season one. Oh that's fun. Yeah,
22:18
Speaker 1: we just got the they accidentally fell asleep with Miss
22:21
Speaker 1: Patty's studio drama. No. I already talked about David being
22:27
Speaker 1: the coolest ambassador or whatever he is the art at
22:32
Speaker 1: the Paint and Sip Night. I thought Sherry's was a
22:36
Speaker 1: good representation of her date Evan, like it was a
22:41
Speaker 1: coolish painting. Yeah, his was awful, yes, and it should
22:45
Speaker 1: have been, like I get, I was like supposed to
22:47
Speaker 1: be funny, but also that's not what you do at
22:49
Speaker 1: a paint and Zip night and you all paint the
22:50
Speaker 1: same thing the class. Yeah. But then at one point
22:54
Speaker 1: they show her painting and her like portraits are all
22:57
Speaker 1: around her, which is she feels is her specialty, and
22:59
Speaker 1: they're so bad. They're like cartoony almost, you know. I look,
23:05
Speaker 1: there's a lot of art out there. They could have
23:07
Speaker 1: picked better art for these people, Like I feel like
23:09
Speaker 1: you and I could have made better art. I wonder
23:12
Speaker 1: where they source this stuff from. Do you think they
23:14
Speaker 1: just like hire somebody and they're like, hey, can you
23:18
Speaker 1: just paint a bunch of these portraits that are not
23:20
Speaker 1: very good? Maybe? I don't know. I would love a
23:24
Speaker 1: set decorator to weigh in. M M, just not the
23:27
Speaker 1: one from this movie, because I'm not trying to dog,
23:29
Speaker 1: but it was pretty bad. Yeah, all right, that's all
23:33
Speaker 1: I got. I'm scared to ask. What did you rate
23:38
Speaker 1: Sherry's second act? I gave it two stars? Same Okay,
