• 1:27
  Speaker 1: of our website, Girls Gonehallmark dot com. It is a

  Speaker 1: wealth of information. There's so much good stuff over there.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Wendy was looking up something and she goes, when.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Did you even write this post? Yeah? Stuff appears over

• 1:42
  Speaker 2: an active participant.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: I like toff you were traveling when I had written
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: that particular post. Why don't we jump in to our

• 1:55
  Speaker 1: That's from Back to the Future AW.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Episode five, with a synopsis.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: When the children get lost in the woods, Rebecca opens

  Speaker 1: up about her past to Tom as they search, Alexander
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: helps Hattie crack her new safe. Clayton teaches Olivia woodworking.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh I bet he does. Sorry, I bet okay? I
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: was well apparently Wait can I just stop there for
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: a second.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: I was in our Facebook group over the weekend and
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: somebody I don't remember what the discussion even was, but
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the person was like, yeah, I don't like Kirstine and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I don't like gratuitous things.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I was like, whoops, and those just came out of
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: my mouth. I remember seeing that person's comments.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I was like. Episode five of Hope Valley eighteen seventy
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: four was directed by Alyssa Late Rogers. She's also directed
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: one calls The Heart Family Law, which, by the way,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I haven't watched that many episodes of, but I love
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: it and it's a little bit more edgy than your
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: typical Homewark Fair but I haven't gotten to the Benjamin
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Ayers episodes yet, and Chesapeak Shores. This episode was written
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: by Melody Fox. Some of Melody's previous work includes Private
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Eyes and Date My Dad, If you Know, you know
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the Girl's Gone, homework, Date my Dad Relevance. Hey, Wendy,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: what was your first impression of the fifth episode of
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Hope Valley eighteen seventy four. It sometimes scares me when
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you and I are on the same page, because yesterday's
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: episode you use the term nothing burger, and that is
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: my first impression this episode was a bit of a
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: nothing burger, but I still ate it.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Here's my first impression this episode. Do you understand why
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: that was in my head? No, it's so so.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: There's no rain in good weather.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: It was cold.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I saw Olivia's breath in that barn, making our own heat.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We need this to be a video podcast. We need
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to set up our podcast studio immediately next.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Fall it's coming.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: You're gonna set it up over the summer that anyway.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: All right, let's talk what we liked about this episode.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Finally we're getting to learn about Rebecca's passed Yeah, sort of.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, we get a lot more than I thought
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we were gonna get in this episode. So I'm glad
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: that we were finally geted some movement on her backstory.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: It is about time. This was episode five, like way
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: to drag it out. I think they want to make
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: this series a tenor like a well, I know, it's
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I think it's nice that we know we had said
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: it's not going to be that big of a deal.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that it's not that big of a deal,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: but Rebecca's not a criminal.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of disappointed. By that.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: To be honest, I'm not surprised by it. You thought
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: she was going to be on the lamb.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I yes, Like Jacob, it's the guys, I can't We're
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: so embedded in this world. I think it would raise
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: the steaks. Hmmm.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But maybe the way she's looking at it, has she
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: kidnapped Sarah from this family, her own, her husband's family.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Like she's free to leave, right, yes, but because Tom
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: says to her, what right do they have?
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: And she says none, but money.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Can buy anything, basically yes, So she's afraid, you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: she wasn't good enough for their son and their eyes,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: and she's afraid of the power that their money wields.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, the balls of these people to be like, well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: your husband died, so now your daughter should come under
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: our care, and you're gonna now chase her.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Across an entire country. Come on, for real?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: How bad had Rebecca be? She's like, they never liked me, well,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: because you know how to do everything, and that's why
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: they don't like you. Like, what could you possibly be
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so unlikable? How could you be so unlikable? Well? But
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: I think also we're watching shows like the foresights where
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: we understand that it's not about who you are, it's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: about what you have and what your family has done.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I can understand that she would be from
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: a world where you know, her in laws didn't love her,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and I did feel for her a little bit. When
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: she's like, I keep failing at keeping her safe. Rebecca's
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: spinning now because Sarah gets lost in the woods, and
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: so she's like, I can't keep her safe.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: You know, this is pre cell phone, pre gps. How
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: are you going to a tract that kid? I get it.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: And the original helicopter Mom, there were there were wolves.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we're gonna talk about it. Yeah, okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: we are going to talk about it. Another thing I like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And this is in contrast to what I had mentioned
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: last week. Rebecca and Tom are soophening towards each other.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: There is a noticeable shift here in this episode. Sure,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Tom's a little bit lighter. He makes a joke like
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: that's when I'm.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, Benjamin arriag are so funny.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I know, I just like get weakened the knees for
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: him for some reason, get nineties girls. And I love
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: that Rebecca is finally opening up. She's like, not fully open,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: but she's trusting Tom. Isn't it interesting that Tom is
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the one she trusted because she had an opportunity to
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: open up to Hattie, right because Hattie even followed up
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and said, is everything okay? After that letter you received?
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: And we've seen Rebecca and Pattie form a friendship.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: But it ultimately it was Tom who she opened up to.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Right now, I have to say, wait, what happened?
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Because when Tom comes to Rebecca at the end and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he's like, I saw the telegram. I didn't go hunting
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: for her, but I saw the telegram, and I was like,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: am I missing something? Did they ever show Tom like
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: stumbling upon a letter and reading that letter?
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: No?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Okay, this is the quickest sure far away that Rebecca's
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: not gonna trust this man if he's like nosing around
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and knows the details. You know, there's two telegrams, right
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: what did I miss? There's one previously that said like
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you were right to leave, okay, and I think that's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the one he saw.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think he saw this letter. Okay. When did
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: that telegram?
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, actually know the only reason I know
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it is because it's in the previously on and I thought,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I've watched when was this I don't know?
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Interesting?
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: So that's what I believe he's talking about. And who knows,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you know, if a telegram, maybe he saw it at
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the trading post, because I assume that's where telegrams come
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: and they're not in envelopes, and it's possible he saw that. Okay,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's my understanding. Look, I like Tom comes to her
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and he basically vows and says like, if anybody tries
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to take Sarah away from me, like they have to
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: come through me first. Maybe that's why he trusts her,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: like she needs a big strong man to help protect.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Maybe that's why she trusts him. Yeah,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: well but maybe so. As I was watching this episode,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I remember you thinking like, oh, it's so slow right
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: like there, and I thought, would it people believable any
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: other way? If they were falling into bed with each other,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: would that romance be believable?
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: No? I don't think they should be falling into bed
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with each other, Like I wouldn't find that believable either.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that that have this conversation and this understanding
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and they're becoming more comfortable with each other. What I
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: didn't like about this episode is the circumstances that got
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: them the missing children out.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: In the woods.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about it all in my wishes,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: can't wait. I have a couple more likes. Okay, Sarah
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: I find just adorable. You know, I typically hate children.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I just think she's so cute.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Mela Morgan. She's a real chip off the old Rebecca block. Yeah,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you know, you know, she's like a caretaker, and I
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: thought she.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Was kind of more of the ones that was like
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: consoling the other two when you were like lost out
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: in the woods. Because she trekked across the frontier, she's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: done hard things. Well that's what I'm thinking, is like
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: it reinforces that she's been forced into this like more
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: mature role for a long time, which I don't love,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: but it just helps her story, I guess a little
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: bit like understanding of who she is, this kid who's
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: not fully a kid. Hattie's parent energy I found deeply
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: relatable when she's annoyed at Olivia for like things being misplaced,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: So it was almost giving, like this is a married
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: couple that have are really annoyed with each other's I
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: just loved it when she was like, you could try
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: to be a little bit more like me, like try
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: to pick up some of my and then at the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: end is very sweet when she's like, I want you
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to be your own person. Yeah, that's that's a very
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: relatable parenting a young adult reality of like wanting to
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: make sure they have the skills to succeed in life,
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: but wanting them to be.
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Their own person and seeing them come into that.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: I mean at my house, you know, I have an
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: almost nineteen year old who's two weeks away from.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Finishing his first year in college.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So yeah, and we've had that same like push and
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: pull of independence too, because I'm like, yeah, you want
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: to be independent, but your car's filthy, Or you want
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: to be independent, but you're sending me a parking ticket
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: to pay, right, you want to be independent on your
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: own terms, yes, ma'am. Anyway, I find Hatty and Olivia's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: storyline highly believable and enjoyable.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Quite frankly, me too. Anything else, you like, I have
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: one last thing.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: We can finally see a little bit of progress on
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: the boarding house. To me, it looks visually like brighter, cleaner,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: like something there is movement.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Happening mean here, and time has definitely passed in between episodes.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Thank good. Yeah.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So for me, we've touched on a lot of
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: my likes. But I do want to say that at
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the beginning of this episode, something about Rebecca seems tougher
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: and a little bit more settled, and I think when
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: we see the way the rest of the episode plays out,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: to me, it seems like she was starting to let
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: her guard down a little bit. She and Sarah are
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: having this nice moment riding their wagon which I got
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to talk about to Peggy and Jenny's and she drops
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: off Sarah and it's very like she's trusting in this situation.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: She's dropping off Sarah to spend the day with Jenny,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: She's going to do some things. It feels like she
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: has settled in and then for her to turn around,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: for Sarah to get lost, for them to need to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: go on this truck to the woods to find her,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to me, it feels like, oh, she let her guard down,
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: and she was proven right that she needed to be
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: have her guard up this whole time. Yeah, It's like
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: that Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy, where she
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: runs away right, and she's getting settled into her news space.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And she's in the towels.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, it's a great movie, terrifying movie. Oh my gosh, Yes, exactly.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: It's a classic storytelling with this woman is getting settled
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: and comfortable and then bam, you know, Yeah, I have
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: a couple more things.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: One. These are not just likes, these are just this
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: is just commentary. Every week. Somehow we find a way
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to relate this show back to Summerhouse. And for me, the.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Summerhouse moment is when Clayton is teaching Olivia to carve
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: wood and he uses the lion.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: See it just takes a gentle touch. Is giving Carl
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: teaching Bailey how to golf.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Oh, although Carl was teaching Bailey how to golf from
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: ten feet away and just like shouting instructions at her
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: instead of like giving her the whole I think he
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: behind the back situations like he's.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: Trying to respect her.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: No, I agree, I agree, Groper not trying to do
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the old Let me just show you.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, gross, get out of here. We had said, why
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: why aren't the kids prospecting? Why aren't they down there?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I do think we answer our own question here because
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Sam is like, oh, Dad says prospecting, it's just a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: way to get rich quick, and I was like, better
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: than getting rich slow. I'm like, if these kids blame Doyle,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I don't at all. I don't blame Doyle at all.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: And I also I am thinking, I know the kids
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: probably have chores and responsibilities, but they have playtime. And
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking, why can they not spend their playtime?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Like why are we fun? Why aren't they trying? Yeah,
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: playing in the river.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: You and I both have been to k Notspberry Farm
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and panned for gold because it's fun.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you get your little you get your little
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: flakes in a jar. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's just the
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: entrepreneur and me.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I'm like, send the kids down there, no harm, no
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: foul anyway. Yeah, just following up on that discussion. And
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: that's a wrap on my likes.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break and come right back with
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: our wishes. Alrighty, let's hear your wishes.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: The whole kids Lost in the Woods plot. This is
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: where I'm talking not nothing burger of an episode.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I have a lot of problems with it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: First of all, it needed to feel more dangerous. I
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: know there's these wolves out there. I know I quoted it,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: but hold.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: On, hold on, Okay.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: What would make it more would feel more dangerous, is
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: put the sketchy prospectors out in the woods. Mm. That's
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: really should be afraid of. That's what I that's the
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: that's the criminal element. I think they have already. The
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: guy who comes and tries to get into Hattie's say safe,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: has a criminal element to him. He's he's a prospector.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: He's out there trying to get rich too, right, So
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: make all the prospectors sort of sketch and that's where
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: the danger lies, not into some freaking lost smoke monster
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: out in the woods. Which did you see Like when
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: they they get rescued, there are rattling.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: I was like, is that a smoke monster from Lost?
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I was like this, I rewound it. I'm like, they
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: do show the wolf earlier? Yes, I think they show
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: the wolf. They get a wolf for this show. B roll.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I don't remember seeing a wolf. I thought
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: they showed us a wolf at one point. I'm pretty
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: sure they did wolves eat children. Well. Wolves are in
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: enormous and I think they are actually quite dangerous.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: Foxes small, wolves, big and dangerous. Yes, Are they dressed
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: up like Grandma's anyway?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I thought the shaking of the trees was a little
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: little silly too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure, not bringing
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: the grit. Here's my other problem with this.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: Are we on Tom's land? Isn't this Tom's land out here? Yeah?
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: They even say are we still on the moor ranch?
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: You would feel like he would be able to navigate
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: his land like the back of his hand.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: He doesn't get lost. But they don't know where the
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: children are. That's what I'm saying.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: He shouldn't know every nook and cranny. Look, I know
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: every nook and cranny in my backyard.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I hear you.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I agree, But my point is they are checking all
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: the nooks and crannies.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I just feels like he would know where they would be.
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: But how, I don't know. I don't know. Was this
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: like a big ploy, Like he's like, I don't know.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Lost for these kids with you and I get to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: spend time with you, Rebecca, get to know all your deep,
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: dark secrets.
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: And I'm telling you it was a nothing burger of
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: an episode.
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, the stakes are low, for sure, but
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not when your kid is missing and it's after dark
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: and you're like lost in the woods.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I have more wishes, but let me hear yours well.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Last episode, one of our big plot points was Sarah
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: felt very much dismissed by Rebecca and that all seems
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to be forgotten.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Sarah and Jenny your best friend.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: Sarah's happy to be dropped off there to make her
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: pillows and go on her adventures.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Hay pillows, we've moved on. Well, they don't have batting.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: There's no big mics down the street, big mics. I
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: had to google, like if Hay.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: Was an actual huh material. The answer was yes, yeah,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: we would.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Rather sleep on concrete. The borders. Sure are gonna love
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: the pillows. I was not meant for life on the
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: front here.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I'm just gonna walk into the river and let it
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: take me away. I just was meant to be born
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: with Wi Fi in my hand.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: I am tired of the love triangle. I'm tired of
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: the love triangle, Olivia.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: And it's the same thing every week, you know. Constable
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: is like, oh, your drawings have been accepted, and unfortunately
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: one of mine too, and she's like, I gotta go
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: tell Clayton.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: He goes, oh, Yeah, it's I'm just tired of it,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: but I did.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: We didn't talk about it, but I did love Clayton
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: and Olivia having them.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna stay and watch. I can't stand that.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: No, No, it's she's giving him the same puppy dog
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: eye she was doing to Alexander last week.
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: Tell me a story. I'm mistake? What am I right?
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: She was the one that said I'm gonna stay and
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: watch while you're.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: People hate us, right? Sorry? All right? And what other
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: other wishes.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: Hattie's safe storyline was sort of relatable as somebody who
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: can't remember the code that eighteend sends me.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: I need to plug it into something to get access.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: So I get that that.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: She couldn't remember the Yeah, she's having trouble adapting with
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: the time ryven a pause in the Frontier.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: It just was so dumb too, But.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: It did make me wonder like, is this foreshadow shadowing
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: at all? And when calls the heart, does the trading
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: post become a bank at some point? Because she does
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: make reference to like, oh, my husband would have said,
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, and they have a safe
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: like out in the middle. It's in my digits, that's what. Okay,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: are they gonna leave it there? I don't know. Rebecca
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: has no chill when the constable is around.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: If this woman is like feels like she's on the run,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: like she needs to dial it back when he's she's
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: so like, I'm scared of the law.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, be a criminal. I know she's not a criminal, but.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Like, well, any chill alt is on her side, so
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: you almost feel.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Like she she could let him in, like she.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Can be like, I'm getting these threatening letters from my
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: husband's this is my child. They have no right to him.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: They're coming for me picked me. Yes, but she probably doesn't.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: You know, money can maybe buy people, and she's worried
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: that he's been influenced by the wrong people.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Just be chill, don't be like uncool. Uncool that's the word.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: That's the line. God, Bravo has infiltrated my brain forever.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: Are you ready for Did you see that? Yeah, let's
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: talk about the wagon.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, tell me you noticed in the opening scene, Rebecca
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and Sarah are bumping along in their wagon and we.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Never see the horse. We see in the next scene as.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: They whoa whoa up up to the ranch.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: But as they're bumping along, we never see the horse.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: There's no horse.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: It's not the first time I hadn't noticed, but I
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: believe it. And I was like, oh, look at that
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: tight framing there, green screen. Maybe I don't know, but
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: also I just just imagine some poor pa living it
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: on this back. Or maybe they have some machine that
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: like kind of bumps the wagon up and along like
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: a like a vehicle. Maybe I gotta tell you, I look,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: he felt like motion sick watching that scene.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: It's real bumpy. Yeah, I'm like, what is happening. There's
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: no like rut in the road that you can drive through,
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: since you've driven this path a million times, it's that bumpy.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Hook that wagon up to an ATV that would be
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: too fast, but something hook it up to an electric
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: bike and have the pa ride electric bike so it
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: looks more realistic.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: It looked green screen to me. It may have. I
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: just noticed that that there's no horse, but it was
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: making me nauseous. It was quite bumpy. I'm so glad
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: you noticed it.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: I thought the voice in the letter that was sent
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to Rebecca, the voiceover it sounded like Laura Lenny to me,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Laura Lenny yeah, really, I'm.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Sure it's not. It just had a Laura Lenny quality.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I wonder who it was me too, some pa again,
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: did you hear the line?
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Rebecca says he's beautiful and Tom says and feisty.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: But the good ones are worth the time when they're
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: talking about a horse or himself, her her, he's talking
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: about her. Oh, I thought he was talking about himself.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: He's talking about well, maybe I thought he was talking
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: about her. She's feisty. It's feisty too, not feisty enough
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: in my opinion. But okay, wait a minute, we need
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: to talk about the safe.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: All I have to say is it's in the middle
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: of the floor and it makes no sense.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Someone's gonna stub their toe on that every single damn
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: day and it's gonna be me.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Why Why is it out in the middle of the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: freaking trading post store? Makes no sense.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: I did really enjoy Patti's little pouch, that her little
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: money pouch. M I'm having a garage sell in a
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. I thought, how cute would I be
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: with my little pouch?
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Should I get that wrap around Shawl situation too?
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I kind of feel like you have had a pouch
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like that for a garage sale situation. No, I like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: wearing an apron. Oh I'm an apron kind of girl.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: You just need like a like a server's pouch like
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: a waitress wears.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, took their I like that their pen and their
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: their notepad. Yeah, tuck your money in there.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: You need like a change belt like they have it
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: in the drive throughs. Cannot your change Yeah.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: Speaking of my garage cell, I was like, should I
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: accept venmo? Yeah? Yeah, I should, right, Huh, you should
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: put up a QR code, like I don't want to
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: deal with your dollars.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I mean you could take cash because people come with
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: cash to a gashirurse.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: But are you allowed to accept memo at your community
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: grauage stair? It's my own cell. It's we're part of
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: a community garage sale. But do you not have to go? No,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: it's in front of my house.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Oh. When our community does that, they sell you a
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: space and you have to go all that idea, it's
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: it's nice for the shopper, kind of annoying if you
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: have like big stuff to haul over there, or a
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff. We've only done it one time for
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that reason. Yes, you are not allowed to have it
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in front of your house, in your city, in our neighborhood.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Hoay baby, Oh.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Interesting, I have two more to just see that Hattie
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: has a second hole piercne uppere, which interesting a lot
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: of women do in twenty twenty six, I did google it.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I was like, how common were ear pure scenes during
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: this time? It said it was common, but you would
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: wear like a Victorian style, like drop down earring, not
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a stud and she only has one stud in one ear.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's new and she can't take it out. Maybe yeah.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: And then my last did you see that?
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Is when the kids are trying to start a fire,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: and was I the only one yelling at the screen
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: like they do on Survivor, like blow on the fuck?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: They just let it like go out? Yeah, they would
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: have lost the fire building challenge.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they needed to blow some oxygen. I don't I
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: don't know what it is. I don't know how to
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: make fire. But on Survivor, on and then it builds, right, kids, Sarah, sarahally.
