  Speaker 1: girls who are into Hallmark. Yes, I have so much
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to say about this movie. Oh interesting? Should we start
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: with a synopsis and then let's sump into news and notes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I love it. Let's go. Nate and Brooke are going
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: to the same four weddings, four weekends in a row.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: To avoid setups, they go together as wedding buddies, but
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: what starts as a friendship soon becomes deeper. Stars Kimberly
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Sstad and Paul Campbell.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: So this was filmed in June and July twenty twenty,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: as mentioned well, not to the pandemic. The COVID protocols
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: must have been bonkers at this time. They were deep
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: in the requiring two week hotel quarantines before filming and
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: all of that. I can only imagine how much they
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: would have had to do to make this movie regular testing,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: can you imagine? And there's like a deep cast.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: You've got all these weddings full of people. Okay, so
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: a couple thoughts. I'm trying to think back to June
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: and July of twenty twenty. My ass was still sitting
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: on the couch at home. I did not think that
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: work was being done anywhere at this point.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I think because they were filming in Canada. I think
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that may have been one of the few places where
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: filming had resumed.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: That really okay, Well, I did read that Canada's still
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: had at the time. Probably like you said, they have
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: probably had a quarantine, right, they had social distancing rules
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: in place, temperature checks, all that stuff. I read a
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: funny article now, side note, did you read this article
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: two about how they had mannequins.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: No is the weddings? Yes, listen.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Paul Campbell told Media Village, which is like an entertainment outlet,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: that they were the first production to film during phase
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: three of the opening, and he said that everybody wore masks,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: they sanitized, and some people had to stay like within
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: their own departments. There was no like crossing over departments, right.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Some interior weddings were moved outdoors and everyone had morning
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: temperature checks. He added that about fifty percent of the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: background performers are actually mannequins.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: No way. I need to go back and rewatch this
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and look at those wedding scenes when you see from
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: the back right, like the actual ceremony. Did you read
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: this before or after watching the movie. I read it
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: after I watched the movie. Oh no, I need to
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: watch it with that in mind. That's so funny. It's
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: so funny.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Do you think productions like, Okay, well we can't have
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a huge cast of extras, so let's just get some
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: mannequins from the local department store. I don't know, like
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: when they had fake spectators during bake Mel games. My god,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is that crazy to think that that was life at
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that time.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: There was nobody in the stand except these cardboard cutouts
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: kind of behind home plate, and you could pay to
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: have a cardboard cut out of yourself, mate.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: And they were pumping in like crowd noise into the stadiums. Yeah,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: so wide.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And the basketball teams had like virtual fans and so
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: those images would move.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Oh I do remember that it has like a laughing
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: or clapping I did.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: Wild. I sometimes think I need to sit down and
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: write down everything I remember, because some of it is
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: so wild to think about.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: When our grandchildren are like what happened in twenty twenty.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Look at that cardboard cutout behind the Dodgers. That's how
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: baseball happened in twenty twenty.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Wow, so weird. For those who haven't watched the movie,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: go back and watch it and look for the.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Mannekins with mannequins in mind. M Okay. This was written
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: by Julie Sherman Wolf, who has thirty three writing credits.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know who Julie Sherman Wolf is,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: yeah you do. She wrote a holiday spectacular Dickens of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: a holiday, you Me and the Christmas trees taking a
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: shot at love. Hona khan Rye always a more and
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: she has the distinction of being the one and only
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: interview we have done to date on Girls Gone Hallmark. Yeah,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and you know what, she was so good. We're like, eh,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: we've picked We're not gonna do this anymore. It's a
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: great episode. You should go back and give it a listen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: And she did us the great kindness of a having
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: listened to an episode we did about a movie she did,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and then answering some of our did you see that question?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Mm hmmm, Yeah, she was awesome. I want to also
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: note that, according to her IMDb, she has a upcoming
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: movie called field Day in the works. It's not exactly
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: clear if it's an Hallmark movie, but it is directed
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: by David Winning, who has directed a bunch of Hallmark movies,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: and it stars some familiar Hallwark faces. So I'm guessing
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: field Day. Maybe it's gonna come out summertime. Could be.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: This was directed by Kevin Fair, who has directed forty movies,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: including Morning Show, Mysteries, We Need a Little Christmas, Always
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a More, and Soccer Mom Madam. I always love it
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: when it's like Hallmark, Hallmark homwork and then there's.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Like a Lifetime in there. Yeah, they go a little dark.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: But Soccer Mom Madam, it has Jaana Kramer in it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I'm like, i'mnna have to look for it. Kind of
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: would be into watching it.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: This movie stars Kimberly Sastad. She's a busy little bee.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: She has starred in Game of Love, had a role
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: in Three Wise Men, and A Baby Lights Camera, Christmas,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: North to Home, Nine Kittens of Christmas. Is also in
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: the process of co writing a movie with her co
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: star Paul Campbell. How do you know that?
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: Because she did an interview exciting Paul Campbell plays Nate
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: or Edgar. We last saw him in the Cases of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Mystery Lane. I've poked around IMDb. There's no new upcoming
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: projects listed there, but that doesn't mean anything. I'm hoping
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: we see like a summer fall or holiday movie from
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: mister Paul Campbell or another Cases of Mystery Lane. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: would be happy with too. That was a great role
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: for him.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Brandy Alexander plays best friend Jinny.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Haven't seen Brandy in a homework movie, so it's twenty
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: twenty one's Right in front of Me, which was also
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: written by Julie Sherman Wolf. I kind of had a
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: feeling like she was a big player on Homework.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And then she kind of just disappeared. I haven't seen
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: her in anything. Peter Benson plays Doctor Colin. He has
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty acting credits, but in the past
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: couple of years has really been getting more on the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: directing game, with fourteen directing credits, most recently the Professional
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Bride made. He also directed the one Wedding Theale movie
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that Terry Ingram was not available for. He really gets
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as girls Gone. Hallmark correspondent Mike sent us an email,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: as he often does, and he's truly his memory. He's
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: like a vault for all of this Hallmark slash Hollywood information.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: M hm. He says that he calls Peter bentson part
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: of the Hallmark Ralph Bellamy Club. I'm just gonna read
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: what he writes here, he says, which is to say
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: that he's one of the guys that always seems to
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: lose his girlfriend to the hero whichever movies he's in.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Ralph Bellamy was in a lot of movies in the
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: thirties and forties, and he was the schlub that lost
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: his girl to the male leads so often that it
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: became a joke in Hollywood even then.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I have no idea who Ralph Bellamy is. None never
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: even heard that name. I thought he was talking about
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Bill Bellamy. That's what I was thinking of. Who Bill
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: Bellamy is.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: The name's familiar.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: He first gained national notoriety on Age Russell Simmons, a
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: deaf comedy jam Oh. He's credited for creating the phrase.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Booty call Okay. He was an MTVBJ for a long time.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: One more regular Hallmark player is Jeff Gustafson, who plays
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: best friend Danny has eighty nine acting credits, including Get
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Out Your Girls Gone, Hallmark Bingo cards, a role as
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the dwarf Stealthy on Once upon a Time. Oh that's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: a show I did not watch. He has a very
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: familiar face. Yes, I know he's been in a ton
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: of stuff.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Let's do first impressions. My first impression is you might
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: call me Campbell cested Stan.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Mine is No one told me Paul Campbell was gonna
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: make me cry? What cry?
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: When?
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Well, they have that moment at the final wedding when
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: they're not saying the things that need and then when
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: they finally get back together and he like puts his
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: hand over his heart.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Paul Campbell.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Oh no, I didn't cry. Tell me what
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: you liked about this movie. If I could have only one, okay,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: if I could have only one like it would be
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: the hairtuck at the football field.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: He heard this, Oh my god, when they were gonna
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: they were like faking it for their friends, but it
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: was real faking. Oh yeah, that was a good scene. Great,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: that was a really good scene. What is with the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: hairtuck lately? Look, it's so easy for dudes a hairtut guys,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: that's all you gotta do. Forget the flowers, get the
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: wining and dining one tiny just brushing the bangs out
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: of somebody's eyes is all you have to do. That's it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Is that truly the only thing you liked about this movie? No? No, no, oh,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: okay okay. For me, there are some movies that I
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: know I'm going to like going into it, and it's
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: either because the actors or the writers, and then luckily
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: this movie has both of those.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: That's at all. There's so many things to pull out
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: about this movie. Kimberly Sustad's dead pan humor kills it
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in this movie, like when she looks at Nate's attempt
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: to kt tape his own knee and goes nail it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I just, oh my god, it's amazing.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you. She reminds me so much a Bonnie Hunt.
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: I can't shake it every time I see her on screen.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I enjoyed the zingers that they gave each other, especially
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: when it came to his bum knee because he was
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: being so stubborn about it. I like that Brooke broke
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: things off with her boyfriend because it just wasn't working out,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: and that Colin was enough factor in the whole maybe
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: will they won't? They with meate And I think that
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: scene was really funny too when they were breaking up.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: They're sitting at the table and she's like, we need
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: to talk and he goes us too, and then she
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: like fully is She's like, we need to break up.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: But he didn't see it coming. Yeah, he was talking
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: about pizza. That was great. They got that out of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the way early. And I loved her patient Mary when
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Brook's like you need to stop, you know, I'm with
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: doctor Colin and Mary's like, I know, just love Mary.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: I think registering of the hardware store is actually a
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: great idea. I think lots of people do that now.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: Those home people have a registered Yes they do. Yeah,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: that's a great idea. We have used our little power
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: drill time and time again. Yeah, far more than I
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: ever used an ice cream maker.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, if there's anybody out there listening to us who
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: is registering for a wedding, definitely hit the hardware store.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, skip the ice cream maker.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, keep ever ice cream maker, Skip the breadmaker.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: You've bend to the grocery store before.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You're not going to make all those things.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: We promise you. If you don't currently make them. Being
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: married is not going to turn you into a homesteader.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: No, no, no no. I loved every dress that she
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: wore to the weddings.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, I loved her wedding wardrobe. And they varied her
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: style throughout the weddings and then we get the big payoff.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: I thought her Brad's made dress was beautiful. Actually I
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: did too. Oh. I didn't like the combo wedding colors,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: the pink and then the deep red of the roses.
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I noticed that too.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, what is that? That doesn't go together?
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a fan I have something about that. And
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: I did just see that.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Okay, there is lots of diversity in this movie. And yeah,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: it talks.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: About that in a long time now.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Remember we used to talk about like diversity check.
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, there was a ton in this movie. So I
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: was surprised by that, only because I wasn't expecting it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like that's a very recent move
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: on behalf of Hallmark. And I did take a look
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: at the wedding every weekend hashtag and there's a tweet
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: from Paul Campbell and let me tell you, Paul Campbell
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: walks the walk in terms of like being a representative
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: and being in favor of diversity. He tweeted Wedding Every
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Weekend was the most watched Summer night's premiere of twenty
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: twenty on the Hallmark Channel. Thank you to everyone who
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: came out in support Love Wins and Alonzo Dourralde, who
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: often appears on Deck the Hallmark but does a movie
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: reviewer in his own right and does its own thing
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: tweeted Wedding every Weekend proves it doesn't have to be
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: an either or Hallmark Channel can do the thing that
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: it does, and it can do so in a way
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: that reflects the world as it exists. Bravo. Can I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: talk about something that doesn't really have a place in
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: any of our categories, but I need to talk about it, Okay?
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: And that is I have decided I am going to
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: change the way I feel about negative reviews about Hallmark
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: movies from the woke police. Okay, go on, And that
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: is I am simply going to find them humorous, because
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: there is absolutely no way to take someone seriously who
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: looks at a movie, titles a review welcome to Wokeland,
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: and do anything other than laugh at it.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Wait, is there an IMDb review for this movie with
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that title. Indeed, there is no You're a joke of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: a human if that is your attitude. Now, there were
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of great reviews of this movie, a lot
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: of them, but there were a lot of one star
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: reviews that.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Were like, I had to turn this movie off. What
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: can I do but laugh at that opinion that you're
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: so threatened by the idea of two women kissing on television,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: even further threatened that you're going to open up your
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: computer and your little review and let everybody know how
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: threatened you are by two people who are in love
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: getting married. And the most offensive thing about that wedding,
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: by the way, was the fact that the two women's
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: wedding dresses were nearly identical.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: One was pants. I noticed, I looked.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: I did not notice that the nights were so similar.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, I get a little right to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: hear people welcome to wokeland.
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, can't take you seriously, I want to talk
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: about what we wished for.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, go ahead, well do do doo doo doo.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: Avoidable misunderstanding alert. It's really the only thing I didn't
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: like about this movie. Yeah, I don't know where the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: conflict could have come from. Sometimes I workshop that in
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: my mind, like we could have had a better conflict,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: but I didn't need that. I was like, yeah, Paul Campbell,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Kimberly's us, dad, I'm rooting for your two people. But
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: you just got in your own way, like she got
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in her own way in that moment.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, she like freaked out before she heard the full conversation.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Stick around, he kept talking.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but when I hear someone
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: having a conversation like that, like we've got unspoken feelings
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: for each other, I'm gonna stick around and hear everything
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: he has to say. Me too, I can hear the conversation.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I am standing there until it's over or I get caught.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: I agree. Okay, here's one thing I wish for. I
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: didn't love that Nate sold her car on her behalf.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: Now technically he didn't sell it, but he saw that
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: she was in this financial bind over the roof, right,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and he takes it upon himself to call the dude
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: that was interested in, like maybe buying the car, And
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like, no, sir, just relay that information to her
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that somebody was interested. You don't need to call the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: guy to arrange him to come see it, and then
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: be like, hey, yeah, solve your problem. I hear you.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I thought that could have very easily gone in a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: bad direction. But he immediately tells her like, if you
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: want to sell it, there is a buyer. I felt
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: like I didn't mind that he took that off that
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: her plate, you know, like I feel like the order
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: of operations was okay, fair enough, okay. I'm so confused
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: by Brook's loan situation because at one point she's writing
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: a check to the bank. Yes, why, I don't know.
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: And then I don't know. She says like, I'm using
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: my loan money for the roof, but as far as
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: I know, she hasn't actually got a loan. And she
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: talks about how she has a rainy day savings. Do
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: you have a savings or are you getting a loan?
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Why are you writing a check? I don't understand what's
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: happening here.
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just let that all like slide. At one point,
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: Nate and Brooker they are talking about how they know
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Ginny and Ginny's fiance which his name escapes me right now, Yeah,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And when Nate says he went to college with him.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: She says trade school and he corrects her. Yeah, was
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: like maybe he says Harvard or Okay, something somewhere prestigious, right, huh.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: And as someone whose family business is built on.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Trade school, I was like, there's nothing wrong with trade
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: school here, but I just felt like there was a
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: little bit of like, yeah, he had to have the
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: added value of having gone to a prestigious university while
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: also now working in the biz.
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and let me just step on my soapbox here.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Trade school is not bad. There's a lot of trades
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: out there that make lots of money.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we need them. Yes. Do you like living
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: in a home with plumbing and electricity and having a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: kar that run exactly?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to say I wrote this wish before
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: we got to the end, but I wrote get off
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: your classic parts high horse meete Oh yeah, yeah, yea
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: ya yah. I understand the commitment to the bit, but also,
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: as time goes on, eventually you're gonna run out of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: original parts, Like you need to think a little bit
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: with a business mine.
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So my dad rebuilds cars, and he has a
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: couple of old cars that look like old cars, but
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: they're fully built with new parts on the inside. Yeah,
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: where they start the odometer at zero again, because oh, yeah,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: everything's new.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: You know what I really wanted when I got married
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: and they got into her car, I wanted her to
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: open the glove compartment and have like a pile of
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: those blue hard candies spill out everywhere.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: That would have been cute.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it would have been. Let's get Julie on the
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: phone for the next one. Did you see that?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: I have a couple me too.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The roof repair guy, mm hmm. First of all, it
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: comes over when it's pouring rain. That's never gonna happen
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: because they need to see the roof. Does this guy
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: see the roof? No, he stands inside her house, looks
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: up at the drip, and he's like, yeah, that's gonna
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: be an extensive roof of pair.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: How the hell do you know?
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: You know you even see the roof? Oh I know
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: what's happening. And as a person who is no stranger
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to water damage in my home, they don't just leave, like,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: you gotta start drying that out or you're gonna have
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: a house full of mold.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: She's like, all right, thanks, I'll think about it.
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna put this pan here and hope for
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: the best.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that was funny when she came home and
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: like the roof had fully like I have a drywall clad.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: They did that and because obviously something's gonna happen if.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: You don't do anything, it doesn't just go away. Okay.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: So when Nate comes into physical therapy for the first
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: time in sees Brook since they were met each other
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: while they were registering for gifts m she jokes about
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the n espresso and then gives a nod to it,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and when they show it, it's a curerig. She says,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: n espresso.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: I think she says espresso. Oh, I think you're right,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: but what a crig is not an espresso machine?
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: You are correct, You are correct about that, because as
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: I'm saying these words, I was like, they wouldn't say
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: an espresso on here.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: No.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: And in fact, in the first scene when they're in
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: that store looking at the espresso machines, there is at
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: least one of them and is an actual an Espresso
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: that they've blocked out.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: The front of it. So yes, yeah, but it's funny.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I was like, uh, that's a cure rig. But yes, yes, Okay,
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: and then who goes in on a wedding gift together?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Hear me out, because you and I have both planned
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: a wedding, right, uh huh? And of course, like, you
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: don't expect gifts from people, but you pay X amount
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: of dollars per person who comes to your wedding, right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: don't you expect a gift that's comparable sort of in price?
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: No, I don't expect a gift. How did it?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: How? No?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I really don't. This is the truth.
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Uh. I think there's got to be some Emily Post
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: nonsense about this.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: Here's what I think. That everybody has the amount of
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: money that they're willing to spend on the weddings they attend, right,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: it's fifty dollars, it's one hundred dollars, it's whatever it is.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: If they went in on the gift, what I hope
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: is that they both ended up spending what they would
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: have spent individually, and they just bought one.
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Nicer gift for the couple. I think they got a
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: four piece glass set.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: Was like, that's not cool.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You don't do it as a money saving.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: They're not a couple, but they were not invited together. Hey,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about Genny's wedding for a second.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah. First, you mentioned that the color scheme was.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: All wrong, and I agree. They're wearing like beautiful, like
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: lavender color dresses, right, but then they have those like
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: terrible burgundy flowers behind them.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: You deep red. I didn't like it.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: It did not go together at all. When Brooke is
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: walking down the aisle at Jenny's wedding and Nate is
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: standing like you know, with.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: The other groovesmen, she just hit the dirtiest look, oh
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: does she?
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: It was fantastic. And then at the end of the wedding,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: everybody is saying goodbye. We're talking about Genny's wedding here
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: and there are full bottles of wine and unopened champagne
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: on the table.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, take it with you.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Well, I just think like they shot the scene before,
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: like well, first of all, since it was like COVID,
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: they probably weren't actually like drinking anything during these scenes.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Those mannequins they can't put their hands to their mouths.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Who knows. People were like real crazy about all kinds
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: of stuff at that time.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: There were kids who were not turning in papers at school.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Because oh, I know, my head could be to collect
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: physical papers from his students. That was a wild time. Anyway,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: That's all I have.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I would just like to point out the photoshop, which
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: correspondent Mike also pointed out. Yes, Nate shows the photo
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: of his dad and like you don't even have to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: be watching him that closely to be.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Like, well, they just put those two photos together. Yeah, yeah,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: I mean at least turn it black and white, you know.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Like not my whole good Yeah, good point, good point.
