• 0:45
  Speaker 1: This is a good one. What is a medical procedure?
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: You are confident after nine seasons of being on Gray's
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Anatomy that you could undertake absolutely nothing. I could maybe
• 0:57

• 1:00
  Speaker 1: could do. Stitches? Could you do stitches? Maybe I could
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: maybe do a little suture. It wouldn't look pretty going
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to in debate someone, but you know they might need
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: an esophagus transplant, so let's don't do that. Let's see
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: guest star Life or series regular life. Oh regular, yeah,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: series regular feeling.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Although guests our life is so fun because I've played
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: so many kooky weirdos in my in my guests are

  Speaker 2: trapesing around, Yeah.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: And you're bopping in and you're bopping out and popping out. Yeah.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: But there's nothing like having a regular job, a job job,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: weekend and look out. I get it. We didn't really
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: talk about this, but you have said before that you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: are proactively hopeful. Yeah. I think that's really wonderful for
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: anybody out there who wants to be proactively hopeful. What
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: are some tips for them to have those sunshiny moments.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's really making a job of gratuity. I
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: don't know how else to do it. I think that's
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: kind of the only way. I think you don't see
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: magic unless you're looking for it, and you're only looking
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for it when you've put the work in and the
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: practice of deciding that there is goodness and deciding that
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: there is something worth being grateful for.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Right, That's that's the proactive part about it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's it's it. You have to choose
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: it and you have to practice it. It's not something
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: that just happens to you.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Do you think it can be too hopeful? Does it
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: ever blend into like going into toxic positivity? I don't.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know how I think.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I think ignoring the reality of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: world that would become problematic. But I also think that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: there is always something good, and I don't I think
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: you have to hold I don't know. My my hope
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: is is grounded in the reality that there is pain,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: but there's always gold even through the pain, and you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: just have to hunt for it, you know. So that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is what the hope that I talk about is not
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: some like flighty something. It's it's a it's a it's
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: a messy journey toward it that acknowledges the pain that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: in life.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And maintaining the hope. Yeah. Yeah, that's good. That's good.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so good. It's so good. Oh my gosh. Okay,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: so tell us just quickly about this new show. It's
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: not new. It's a second season, yes, but a just
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: finished airing, right.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, but now Mistletoe Murders is now. It just finished
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: airing on a homework channel. But you can see it
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: on Hallmark Plus okay, where all episodes are street. You
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: can also purchase it, I think on Amazon. There's romance,
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: there's action, there's intrigue, really fun character find that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: How do you do that with like finding the small
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: town charm of a Christmas movie and blending in the mystery.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Well to you know, it's funny because they're two very
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: beloved genres, are Christmas movies, like Christmas rom coms and mystery,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and they both follow a very specific and similar pattern
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: where you start from a place of messiness and rupture
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: and something needs to be figured out. You take a
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: whole journey and then there's resolution at the end and
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the mystery, the bad guy gets taken in and you know,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and in the rock all is well at the end.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So people love this genre because you know that you
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: turn it on and at the end of the journey.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Everything is going to be okay.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But you get to go through this cathartic emotional experience
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: while you're trapsing your way through the story. So I
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: think the two genres really lend themselves pretty well to
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: one another. And can Are the creator who also created
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: the Audible series that this is based on. It's just
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a genius at kind of mashing these two worlds together
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: and making it feel really cozy but also murdery at
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the same time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Murders. I love that. Oh my god, I go. I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: gonna definitely watch it. I want to binge from the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: beginning to the end.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It's really fun. It's a fun it's a fun bit Binger.

  Speaker 1: It's crossed for season three. Cross Okay, Okay, So since
