  Speaker 2: First off, this is crazy, but congratulations because you're officially

  Speaker 2: a grandmother.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We were just talking about that.

  Speaker 4: Yes, I am.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: The youngest, hottest grandmother, might I add. Thank you.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: How does that feel?
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: Mario, I can't even explain it to you because you're
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: a family man.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You know how much your kids mean to you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: And I love my kids so much, have great relationships
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: with them.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: But being a grandmother.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Is like this whole other level of love and love. Like,
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I can't even explain it. My body is just like,
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I just, these little human beings are unbelievable.
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: And to see your kids become parents, it is literally
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: the best. And every grandparent that I talk to says that.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: And now that I'm experiencing it, I'm like, oh my gosh,
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: I couldn't even imagine how awesome it is to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: a grandparent.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: I get it because- I see it with my own parents.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: I see my dad and I'm like, who is this guy?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: This guy is not my, the dad that raised me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: He's like, you don't have to be mean.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: You can feed him whatever you want. You can let
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: him stay as long as you want. And you give
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: them back. And it's not really your responsibility. They're very irresponsible. Totally.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We are.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: And I'm going to be, you do not have to
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: lay down the law. You just get to be the fun,
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: nice person. Grandparent that you wish you could have been
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: as a parent, but every good parent has to set
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: down the boundaries.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You do. You do have to send the right.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little bit of a late start,
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: so I might have a minute before I get there,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: but I am looking forward to it.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What do they call you?
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean. They're my name is will be Candy Graham.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Candy Graham.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: That's Candy Graham.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I don't think.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: They're going to be able to say it, but whatever
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: they want to call me, they can call me.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Fair enough.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Fair enough.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Well, that's awesome.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: Awesome.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: And you're competing on the new season of Special Forces
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: right now. World's toughest test on Fox.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: What made you want to sign up?
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Because I love a good challenge. I really do.
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: It's like, I got, I've become more and more fit
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: in my life as I've gotten older, it's become more
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: of a priority.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: And then they do crazy stuff.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, it's literally a special forces, like Navy SEALs,
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Marine recon, this course that you do. And so I
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: just wanted to test my limits and see what I
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: was made of. You would be amazing on that show.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: I imagine they've probably asked you in the past, but Dude,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: I'll be recommending you unless you tell me a hard no.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: No, I appreciate it. That's very, very nice of you. Yeah,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: I think schedules have conflicted and stuff. What has been
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: the toughest challenge for you so far?
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: So far, I hit my biggest fear factor on the
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: second day, which is heights.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And we were up, I think.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: 3000 feet in the air and then hanging off of
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: a bridge had to climb down, um, like a 50
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: foot ladder being 300 feet from, um, like a canopy
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: of jungle floor.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: So it was, it was very scary and challenging.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: It made that it made backdiving out of the helicopter,
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: like nothing like that. Wasn't even scary compared to how
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: scary the bridge was.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: So overall, uh, fun experience.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Yes. I don't know that it was fun while I
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: was there.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: But I'm super glad that I did it. And it,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I learned a lot about myself. That was, that was
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: the coolest thing.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: That's kind of why you show up.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: You, you, you are so challenged physically, but very mentally
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: and emotionally. And so I like that kind of stuff.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: You know, I like to see what my guts are
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: made of.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Where was the location? We were in Malaysia.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: Malaysia. Wow. Yeah.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: In the jungle, like legit jungle.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: Legit jungle.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Sounds like there's some interesting critters running around there, I bet.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. We had some cobras. We had a lot
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: of scorpions.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: And then the amount of mosquitoes and bugs were crazy.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: So I think you're going to start to see that
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: maybe this coming episode. It airs every Thursday night on Fox,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: and then it's on Hulu the next day. And you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: can stream them anytime on Hulu. But you'll start to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: see bug bites come out in all of us because
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: it was crazy.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: It was rough.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Oof, that sounds, well, God bless you. I'm glad you
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: got through that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And this weekend, you've got a new Christmas movie dropping
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on Great American Family before even Halloween hits.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: A second chance Christmas. You're really getting a jumpstart right here.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What's this one about?
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: I know I've never kicked off the Christmas season before.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: It feels so early, but I'm excited about it. I've
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: got two Christmas movies coming out this year.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And this first one, it's a really sweet story.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: It is about a divorced couple that they were married
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: for 20 years. They got divorced and they have college
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: age kids and they come back together out of the
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: request for their kids to spend a family Christmas together.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: And there's an ice storm in the cabin that they're
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: all supposed to meet at. And so these two exes
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: get stuck in the cabin before the kids get there.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: All roads are closed. And they rediscover not just one another,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: but they realize that they, since their divorce, they've become
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: two very different people because they did a lot of
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: work on themselves. They each found their faith independently of
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: one another.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: And so it's really sweet.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: It's a story about reconciliation, but also discovering that change
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: is possible when you put the work in.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: And So I like this one.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I think it's a sweet story and just feels very fitting,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: I guess, for my age. As we're getting older, like
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: you want to come up with new stories that don't
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: feel like the ones that are so in the box
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: over the years, especially when you've made like 20 or
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: 30 Christmas movies over the years.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Right, right, right. Yeah, no, that's a fun premise. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: like that one. Yeah, that's cute.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: I'm excited about yours coming out.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you. Have you seen it?
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: I have seen it. I think it's fantastic. And the
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: fact that you and Tony, I mean, it's great.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: It's so great.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you so much. We had a lot of
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: fun looking forward to that one's coming. I think that's November.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So we'll be checking that out. But you mentioned a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: second one. That one is called Sweet Christmas Anniversary. What's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: that premise?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so that is the third installment of the Christmas
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: movies that Cameron Matheson and I have been doing together
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: for the last two years. So we had the first
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: one where we connected, we met. The second movie, we
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: got married in it.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: And now this.
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: Third movie is our first anniversary. And we actually shot
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: it in Budapest. And so we are spending our first
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: anniversary over, you know, in Budapest to celebrate his movie
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: premiere because he's a director in it and a writer.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And it's another kind of... like fun out of the
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: box story. Um, and, but it's just, we're reunited together.
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: The, the story continues with Cameron and me and we
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: love working together so much.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: It's a really good fit.
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: So we just thought of like, what's a fun place
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: we could go share Christmas and the Christmas markets in
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Europe are unbelievable. So we basically picked Budapest because it
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: was so beautiful and shot at Christmas and be there.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Oh, fun, fun.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of a series right there. And
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: early this next year, you have the, speaking of series,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: fourth film in your Ainsley McGregor mystery saga coming out
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: as well, right?
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: Ongoing mystery series on Great American Family and Great American
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Pure Flix.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: And I love the mysteries. They're actually my favorite movies
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: to make.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: And where do you shoot those at? I'm just curious, Candice.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: We shoot them in British Columbia, like Vancouver, Victoria.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: Got it.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Got it. That's staying busy right there.
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: And in a year, it's going to be the 40th
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: anniversary of the premiere of Full House.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Can you believe that?
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Wait, what? For real? Yes.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: 40th anniversary.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: What do you remember about that initial first season?
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I remember a lot. I do.
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: But you know how when you're a kid, I don't
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: even know if they're actually my own memories or just
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: having seen the show.
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It brings back memories or it's
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: like looking at pictures.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: You're like, do I really remember it or is it
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: just because it's an image in my mind?
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard when you're a kid. You're exactly right. Yeah.
