  Speaker 1: This is the Ben and Ashley I almost famous podcast
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with iHeartRadio.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Hey guys, so apparently our producers just or you guys
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: just love it when I talk about Jonas brothers. I'm
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: just so casual with the name. Jonas was like a
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Jonas Jonas everybody knows. Okay, Well, last night, Jared and
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: I got to do something fun, so I've been requested
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: to talk about it. We went to the premiere of
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: their new movie, A very Jonas Christmas Movie, and it
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: far exceeded expectations. Jared, wasn't it just the most pleasant
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: night of all time? I had so much fun last night.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Everything about last night was actually perfect. So we walk
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: into the theater and the first person, the first two
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: people we see in the theater are people we know.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: So it's already like starting off to like a fun vibe,
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: being like, oh my gosh, you're here. It was funny
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: because so many people we didn't know who the heck
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: was going to be there, up for Susie, but everybody
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: who we ran into that we knew. They were like,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, of course you're here. We all we
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: were all expecting you to be here. So I'm just
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: glad that I'm like expected at Jonas events and I'm
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: just like so honored Jared that like I get like
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to be invited to those things and like to be
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: able to just be part of that community, and that
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: fandom is just it never gets old and it's so
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: much fun every single time. And last night was one
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: of my favorite Jonas memories truly because I start to finish,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: it was just a blast, great energy, grade vibes, great
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: movie guys. It comes out on November fourteenth on Disney
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Plus and Hulu. We are not like you'd think that
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: they'd be paying us to be for me to be
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: talking about this movie so much, but I just loved it.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it was the movie for me.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: It was the movie for me. Was surprisingly, very funny.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Ifully find that he said surprising because.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna be as honest and objective as possible. So
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: because you're not objective. No, but that's quite all right
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: because this movie was clearly made for Jonas Brothers fans.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, it was unapologetically for Jonas fans. But that's
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: I'm glad they did that because it would have been
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: far worse if they try to do a Hallmark Christmas
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: movie starring the Jonas brothers as themselves, but not really
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: dive into their relationship or be what's the word I'm
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: looking for, uh, a bigger version of themselves. Like they
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: lean into the characteristics that people know them as, Like
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Joe is the playboy, Kevin's the boring one, and Nick
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: is like the anal one.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But he's not supposed to be the boring one.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: He's supposed to be like the one that people like,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: the normal one that everybody nicks.
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: The relatable one, relatable one, but they put in the movie,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: they put they they lean into the idea that he
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: is quote unquote the boring one because they try to.
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: But what my point is singing the spotlight's not on,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: they literally say in the movie. And this is not
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: a spoiler that the brothers say, Oh he's a you're
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: a cardboard cutout.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because like he doesn't because he doesn't sing right, No,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: because and the whole thing is that like he wants
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to sing.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: So my point being, I love celebrities who are not
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: afraid to lean into what people think about them and
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: make fun of him. And they did that. You know,
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: they didn't shy it. They were just very self aware
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and there was a lot of funny moments in there.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: As someone for myself who is aware of the Jonahs'
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: brothers of course, and I know them pretty well, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: you know, with their personalities quoth they're super talented and
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: they make really good music, but in terms of who
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: they are as people and their relationship with as being brothers,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: like I know a little bit about it, and so
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: seeing them kind of interact in a way that heightens that.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: And they didn't shy away from it, and they made
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: fun of themselves and they made fun of their relationship
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: and it was it was really great to see because
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: I think anybody who sees celebrities make fun of themselves,
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: it just makes them more endearing. And after watching the movie,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I find the Jonas brothers even more endearing than I
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: did before.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: There was this one moment that he turns to me
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and goes, should we have a third boy?
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Because they there's this I mean, they're again not a spoiler,
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: but of course there's flashback scenes of them young, you know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: with their parents at Christmas, and you know, it's it's
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: it's great to see because it's cool seeing where they
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: are now, but seeing where they came from and their upbringing.
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: So but the movie itself very funny, surprise again, surprising them,
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: saying that because I did not think I was going
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: to be laughing, and I laughed pretty consistently throughout the
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: entire movie. Now, listen, it's a Disney plus movie, So like,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: don't this is not Schindler's List, you know what I mean?
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: This is not this is not Shakespeare, but it's not
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: meant to be, which is another thing that I really
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: appreciate appreciate about the movie. It's an hour in twenty minutes.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: It flies by.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: He loves an hour and twenty minute movie. It's so
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: refreshing because they're all so long these days.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, if this movie is two and a
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: half hours a bit, what is going on? But they
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: the movie knows exactly what it is, and I appreciate that,
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: and I love the movie because of it.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: You know how, a lot of movies, especially comedies, I
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: feel I think that a perfect example is Elf. It's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a Christmas movie as well. It's like strong, strong, strong,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: strong strong. The humor is just like on point, like
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: for like forty five to an hour, and then the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: last half an hour it's just like, oh, I get
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: serious you know, I was waiting for the moment where
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we got serious here and we never did, and so
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: it just was straight through fun. You never have that offbeat,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and I guess at the end it gets a little
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: bit more emotional.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Of course there's a resolution, there's you know, character arcs,
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: but the movie never overstays.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: It's welcome he will, but yeah, it's just like it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: It.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I never felt like, all right, let's wrap this thing up.
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: It was just always like it was a pleasant ride.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: I enjoyed it as someone who's obviously AH a surface
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: level Jonas Brothers fan, and so I think that's a
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: compliment to the movie because it's not. It's not made
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: for me, it's made for Ashley. But I enjoyed it too, exactly.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: And we had a friend there who's like a movie
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: He does movie reviews and he does movie interviews. He
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: does it with really big celebrities, and I was like,
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: what are you even doing here? And he was like,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I mean I was invited and it was fun. He's like,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: this is not what I typically would talk about, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: I had a good time in there. I also loved Yeah,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: so to go back to something that I do want
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: to talk about, with Jared, you said it was for me,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: but would you, and you would say that even if
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: you're not a Jonas fan, should you watch it? I mean,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: did you find that there was too many inside jokes,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: too much that you needed to know?
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: I mean you have to be a Jonas Brothers fan
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: to watch the show, or at least like you know
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: decently know them like I do, or even if you
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: don't know them as well as I do. I think
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: you'll still find a lot of enjoyment in this movie.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: But if you've never heard of the Jonas Brothers, you're
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: not gonna like this.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Also not listening to this podcast.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: No.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: My point being is that the movie is called a
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: very Jonas Christmas and what I appreciate it is the
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: title is not misleading at all, like this is very
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: much a Jonas Brothers Christmas movie, but to the film's credit,
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: like that's exactly what it is. There's no misleading here,
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: there is no false marketing like this is a Jonas
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Brothers Christmas movie.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: A few more things. Jared is the expert reviewer, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I just really want to emphasize it is so self deprecating.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: It is tongue in cheek, It is very self aware
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: they see. One of my favorite things about it was
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that it maybe it seemed like we the fans have
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: inside jokes with them because all of their stereotypes they
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: bring to the surface and they lean in on them,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: Like there's this one joke that really stuck with me
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: because I think about it all the time. And my
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: friends and I my like my Jonas friends and I
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: have a group chat and like we one time talked
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: about this. Joe did an ad for botox, not actual botox,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: like one of the other brands of a bachelin and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: toxin And this was like a year ago, and we
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: were talking about how he didn't add for botox, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: they make fun of him for doing that. In the movie,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: They're like, you say yes to every ad, And I'm like,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: this is the kind of humor that is straight up
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: my alley. It's very millennial based humor. It's also like
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of parent humor in it. Basically, like
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: anyone who's in their age group, you know, mid thirties,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: you are going to I think anybody in their mid
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: thirties could enjoy this as well, even if you're not
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a Jonahs fan.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, again, you have to be aware of the Jonahs brothers,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: But yeah, I think that what's great about it as
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: well as they lean into the stereotypes of people think
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: about them, they make fun of themselves.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: They make fun of the stereotypes.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: And I again, I I just I give the Jonas
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: brothers credit for doing that, because it's very easy, especially
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: for a list celebrities like themselves, to not want to,
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: you know, showcase more of the stereotypes of what people
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: think about them exactly.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: They leaned into.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: They leaned into it so funny. That's what made it
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: so good. They just they they had fun. They had
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: a lot of fun. And what was cool as well
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: seeing their dynamic together because clearly they have great chemistry.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: They're brothers in real life.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: Their acting was like pretty good because I think it
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: wasn't all it was really like not active.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: That's what I mean. They have they have great chemistry.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Like my favorite parts of the movie are the three
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: of them together. Yeah, you know, they all have separate
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: storylines and again those all kind of fit into the
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: overall story. But my favorite moments of the movie, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: I think the most enjoyment and the funniest parts of
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: the movie are the three of them to get just
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: kind of making fun of each other, and it's fun
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: to see.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Two more points that I want to make about the
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: movie itself. I'm so sorry we're boring you guys to tears.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: But I went into it thinking it was gonna be
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: very like cheesy original like Disney Channel movie like Camp Rock.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Like I thought it was just gonna be like camp
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Rock again. And of course camp Rock was really fun
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: when I was a teenager, but I don't at thirty
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: seven want to see Camp Rock. I mean, like, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: will watch it with Dawson and it'll be fun and nostalgic,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: but like, I want this. I was so surprised that
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: this was just a fun movie from my age and
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: they're just so smart about that. And then my second
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: point was that they they're producers on it, and I
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: feel like you can really tell. It's almost as if
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: they like took the writers and they were like, hey, guys,
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: why don't you like follow us around to shadow us
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: for a month, to like see what our general chemistry
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: is as brothers, and like right around what you see.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the movie is better than it should be. And
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: again that's a credit to everybody involved. You know, because
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: when you see a very Jonas Christmas, you're like, this
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: is gonna be dumb, and it wasn't. It was not
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: dumb at all. I didn't think it was dumb, of course,
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: you know, it's you know there.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: I was like, is this gonna be a movie that
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: I watched once? I'm like, okay, I'm done. No, I'm like,
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: I'm excited to watch it all holiday seasons.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Again, if you're a Jonas Brothers fan, you will absolutely
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: adore this movie. There is new Christmas music in it
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: by the Jonas Brothers.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: They're better in the movie even than you if when
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: you hear the tracks. They're good songs, catchy.
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: They're catchy songs, they're Christmas songs. And also again, they
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: do a great job of leaning into the absurdity of
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: them just starting to sing original Christmas music in this movie,
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Like they break the fourth wall a couple of times
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: and let the audience in on the joke while they're singing,
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: and it's great. They just never take themselves too seriously,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and I think, again, credit to them, because not everybody
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: does that.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Thanks baby. Like I didn't like their roast they did
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the roast on Netflix, remember years ago, it's like COVID.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: I didn't see it. You and I.
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: You did see it. You were like watching in the background,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: and we were like, oh my gosh, I think I
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: don't even finish it. I we just Jared and I
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: just don't like roast in general. I didn't lot like
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Bears I did. We did not even watch Tom Brady's I.
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: Saw clips of it. But yeah, it just goes like
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: it's just some some are funny, some or not. Again,
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: I think a roast overstays. It's welcome a lot of times.
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: If a roast was like forty five minutes and they
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: had like not even maybe but like, you know, people
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: very important to that person's life making fun of them,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: that's very funny stuff.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: I'm in.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: But it's just like, how long do these roasts have
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: to be? And with this movie, you know, it's like
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: an hour twenty minutes of a decent story and a
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: lot of funny parts in good chemistry between the brothers
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: that you're invested in, and then it's over and you're like,
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: you know what, that was fun?
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, Well, we have a couple of questions
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: from our producer and we will wrap this up. I'm
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: so sorry. I didn't realize I was going to drag
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: out this Jonas episode so long, but huh, it is
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: a Jonas episode. So she's saying, did we get to
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: talk to them at the after party? We talked to
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Kevin and Danielle and they were just so sweet as always. Yeah,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: they're so wonderful. Yeah, it was really And then my second,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: the second question here is how would you rank this
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: in your top Christmas movies? It's something I did tell
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Govin I go on the carpet we were asked. It
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: was kind of a weird question to be asked because
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: I don't think the reporter realized that I hadn't seen
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the movie yet. No, it was like, what would you
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: pick this or like your favorite Christmas movie?
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: They said every other Christmas movie, So you'd have to
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: either take away every other Christmas movie and keep a
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: very Jonas Christmas or get rid of a very Jonus
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: Christmas and then you get to keep every other Christmas movie.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: And I was like, well, I'm going if my favorite
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Christmas movie is is Home Alone? And I haven't seen this,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: so like I'm obviously going to keep Home Alone. And
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: of course I'm still going to keep Home alone in
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the Holiday.
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: They're better movies.
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: Oh, they're just like absolutely timeless classics. But I will
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: tell you of the past twenty years because The Holiday
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: came out almost twenty years ago, nineteen years ago. This
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: is my favorite and a very since then. I just
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: loved it so much.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot to love in the movie.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: Thank you, I say thank you. I am proud. I
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: am proud of my Jonas boys.
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: And yeah, I think I think a lot of people
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: are going to enjoy this movie.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's going to get critically acclaimed.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I think people will say their surprised though in reviews.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: But I yeah, I would say that.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I'm sure a lot of people reviewing this movie, you know,
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: movie critics, I think a majority of them will say,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: you know what it was, you know, it was fun.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of them are obviously gonna it's yeah.
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I mean, what are they Are they really going to
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: take this seriously reviewing a Jonas movie?
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: They might, I mean, if you take it seriously, yeah,
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: of course.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: And even if even if they're taking it seriously, they
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: should be like, oh, it's cool.
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: Much better than anticipated, and it gives some insight into
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: the brothers relationship too, things that you may not have
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: known prior, Like we know because Ashley makes me aware
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: of it, but like things with Kevin and how you
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: know his storyline goes throughout the movie, if like things
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: that he wants to present to his brothers, or like
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: things with Nick about like how Joe and Kevin's relationship
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: is different than you know Nick and Joan Kevin's relationship.
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: So like, there is some things in the movie that
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: are really cool to see, like things that I was
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: aware of. Again, that's why I was like, Wow, I'm
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: I'm happy they leaned into it, because not everybody would
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: do that. But if you're not aware of these things
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: and you know, it's pretty interesting to be like I
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: didn't that the brothers had this type of relationship.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: What about the cameos, because there were a lot of them.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: There's a cameo. We won't spoil it, but there's a cameo.
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I mean a big actor, a big actor in the
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: very first scene in the movie and we.
• 16:12

  Speaker 4: not as well known actor.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: But some of you guys will know.

• 17:38
  Speaker 4: was really good and the drinks were great. Each one
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: was great themed. It was like a I think each

  Speaker 4: Jonah's brother had his own drink.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Probably I saw them drinking mostly the espresso martinis at
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: the pictures of.

  Speaker 3: So it was cool.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: You know, everything was themed and it was Christmas and

  Speaker 2: The guest list. I mean like it was just so fun.
• 18:04

  Speaker 3: Well, I think again there is a.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Community, which you always say.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I always say if everybody was a Jonas Brothers fan,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: there would be peace on earth because you know, if
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: you go to a Jonas Brother's concert, or you go
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: to an event like this, there is just so much
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: happiness and enthusiasm, which I love. Of course, I love
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: being a part of it.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, babe, and I just love having you there
• 18:26

  Speaker 2: still married with kids.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Of course, I would never take your dreams away from you.
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: Thank you. And finally, Jared is die Hard at Christmas movie.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I'm in the minority on this one.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: I know.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think it's I mean, no.
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: That's like I think Catch Me If you Can is
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: like the exact same thing, because Catch Me if you
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Can has an ongoing theme of Christmas. But like you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: wouldn't consider it a Christmas movie.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I define a Christmas movie by I only want to
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: watch it during the holiday season.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: I could watch die Hard in July. Yeah, and enjoy
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: it just as much as I would in December.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, because I think I would prefer Catch Me if
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: you Can in the winter.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: But sure, but you would never Would you watch Home
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: Alone in May?
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: No, I wouldn't allow myself to do that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Would you watch Catch Me if you Can in May?
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I could do that.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: That's the difference for me for my definition of a
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: Christmas movie.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I also think that Gremlins is a Christmas movie too,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: hence why I had Dawson watch it today.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: It really watch it any other time. It is very
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Christmas based. The entire setting definitely very Christmas. Is it Halloween?
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like the nightm before Christmas. It can
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: go from Halloween to Christmas.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, and there's it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: That's it.
• 19:40
