• 0:53
  Speaker 2: identify yourself, whatever. Just give us a call. That would
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: be super fun. We haven't had one inna it since
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: our friend Shannon from Australia. It is hard to live
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: up to the standard set by Shannon with her adorable
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: accents exactly, but you know we believe in you exactly.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Now I'm gonna start us off. I do. Josh wrote
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: in regarding Curious Caterer, and he says, thanks so much.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: For spreading the word about Curious Caterer on your blog.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I've shared it with my family and friends who are
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: huge fans. We've gone the next step and launched a
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: petition if you do any more content around Curious cater
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: do you mind mentioning? So here we are mentioning the
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: Curious Caterer petition on change dot org and they are
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: trying to urge Homework to produce more Curious Caterer movies.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: We will link both the blog posts that we wrote
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: with the latest Curious Cater updates direct from Nikki de
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Loosh herself, as well as this petition. They currently have
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: three hundred and sixty four signatures. Their goal is to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: get to five hundred signature to urge Hallmark to make
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: some more Curious Cater episode.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Question for you, do you think these online petitions help her?
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Has anybody seen them? I'm curious about your opinion.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know either. I honestly, in my opinion, I
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: think it's best to get into Hallmarks on their social media.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: You need to be like they are going to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: most responsive over there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Just flood their social media.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not suggesting flood them, but you know when Hallmark
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: on Instagram posts something about hey, sugar and Vice came
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: out this weekend in the common say hey, when can
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: we get an update on Curious cater and maybe they'll respond.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Good idea.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I think a social media team is going to be
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: more responsive than a petition. But that is my opinion,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that is my head. You guys know you know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: All right? Next time, Marianne wrote regarding one Chris for
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Polaha as Jimmy Stewart in Holiday movie, my dog just
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: came down stairs with a candy wrapper in his mouth.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I've got teenagers, so three guesses about where that came from.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: He was so proud, like his whole body language was
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: completely different.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: He's had a sour patch kids. Hold on, we'll make
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: this a visual episode.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I'll take a photo so you can see just exactly.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Back to Marianne's email, she says, Hi, Megan and Wendy,
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I love listening to you guys every week, whether I'm driving,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: on my commute, cooking, or on a run. So many
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: times I wish your podcast was a radio program with
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the ability for us to call in.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Mary from your lips to the.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Serious xm ears, especially when you don't know the answer
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to a question.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: The other day.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I was running while listening and was yelling out loud,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: small town Christmas, small town Christmas. When you can remember
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: which movie Christopher Palaha channeled Jimmy Stuart. Wish I could
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: have called in then. Luckily no one was on the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: street when I was yelling this. Thank you, Mary Anne.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: That's hilarious. Also, Mary Anne, we do have a phone
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: number you can call in. We may not be a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: live radio call in show, but what's our phone nine
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: four nine three two nine eight zero nine zero Call
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: us next time you're on your run. I would love it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I would love it. Hey, writer in her Francisco has resurfaced.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: I know he's just waiting for the way home to
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: drop and we'll hear from him more on the rag.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Francisco writes, Hey, Magan a windy again. I watched two
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: movies this month. Hey, the Olympics were on. No, that's
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: all good. It's not homework, Francisco. Yeah, it's all good
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: over here. I really enjoyed because of Cupid. I'm missing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Amy Greening at Christmas and think she totally has leading
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: lady energy. This one oddly, I'll this one started odd
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I'll admit how seemed like some over the top weirdo.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It of course made sense when he gave the ingredient,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and further when we discovered he was cupid. I did
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: like that magical realism element. Overall. I really enjoyed the
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: story and supporting cast and how each relationship played out
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: in the end. It was a real fun, romantic comedy.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stop there. I watched this movie in a
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: fever dream, and you think you didn't like it. I
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: think I didn't like it.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I liked it. I thought it was real cute.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So what are your thoughts?
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Then?
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: On his commentary here about how and the magical realism
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: and Elmy graining, et cetera, I agree with all of it.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: I love Amy Greening. I want to see more of her.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I would love to see her lead a limited series.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I think she would be great doing that. I liked
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: the how is Cupid Disappearing magical shop element of it all.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I thought it was cute.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Will we ever review it?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to rewatch it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: At this point, Same girl, Same Francisco goes on, Okay,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: he says, I have to say I agree with Megan
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: on the Stars between us, it fell flat. I was
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: rooting more for Travis and Clair than Kim and Malcolm.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: We see them meet for like five minutes seven years ago,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and they're meant to be together. Question Mark, Are you
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: kidding me? Question Mark. We never saw them mention the
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: other person in any important manner except her influence in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: his career. Also, the on camera of flirting. Okay, she
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: wants to be taken seriously and she does that. It
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: was ridiculous. I felt there was no real stakes. And yes,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I also thought of we met in December. Look, I
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: like that movie. I do think it had its problems.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: It was fine for me. I didn't hate it. I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: know a lot of the people on our Facebook group
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: are like, I can't believe Megan came from this movie.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I didn't hate it. I just don't think it was
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the greatest thing I've ever seen.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Did you come for it?
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: I don't think I did.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I think you just said I didn't like it. Yeah.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: I think you were disappointed by it because you were
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: most excited. Yeah. I think that's fair, and I do
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: agree that our two leads. I wanted to see them
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: together more. Yeah, because they were so good.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Steve emailed regarding our episode reviewing The secret Ingredient,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Steve says, so Rocky Mountain Christmas needs to be watched.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Palaja once stated in an interview that it's one of
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Hallmark's most watched premieres. Got to get into without Hallmark
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: History Now didn't translate here, but in his email there
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: was a little winky face emoji the secret Ingredient. I
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: really appreciate the podcast honesty. Don't always find that. I'm
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: not surprised when he called it a grocery store cupcake.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Nice passive, aggressive way of saying thumbs down or meh
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: without being critical. Grocery store cupcakes suck in my opinion,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I mean agree to disagree, Steve. Most people always shape
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: their narratives. If a person likes a movie, the plotholes
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: are glossed over. If someone dislikes a movie, the plotholes
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: are magnified. And this movie's no different. The nitpicking of
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: what you didn't like is crazy. Off the charts?
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Hmm. Were we being nitpicky and off the charts? I mean,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's the that's the implication.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I don't think we were any more nitpicky than we
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: ever are. Is this mailman, Steve, I think so.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: He's surely a fan of ours. It's okay, Like I'll
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: take criticism, and I think it's fair to.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Say Steve was disappointed by us.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: He's not alone. Somebody else told us that they were
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: their heart hurt that we uh, yeah, I know people
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: love this movie. I honestly didn't dislike this movie either.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: I think it was me who disliked it. Okay.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: One of you questioned why Penny's character would buy the diner.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: The quote was, what does this bozo know about fried Chicken?
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: That was me, Steve Wendy. He bought the diner because
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: he's still in love with Kelly and wants a do over.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Has nothing to do with his niche of culinary talents,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: he says. I don't always agree with your takes, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: it's always a fun listening, Steve, Are you in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: mood to take something personally?
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Kind of a little bit? The lexa pro is not
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: lexapro im cry Actually, okay, there's a couple of things
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: I just want to address here. I appreciate you adding
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that the winky face emoji did come after got to
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: get in tune with the Hallmark history, Steve. We try,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: we really try it. There is a big library of
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Hallmark movies, and while we've been doing this five years,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: we have not seen every.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Movie, and we've done over six hundred episodes. We're we're
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: gonna look.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I do think, and I think the winki face emoji
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: is appropriate because we I think are doing the work
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: we do throw back movies and wise I think.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: We're doing the work. We're trying here, folks.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I yeah, And then I just apologize for everybody who
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: loves the secret Ingredient. It just was not for me.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It was not for me.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: And we love.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Penny and ka Hill very much. I love both those actors.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: I just didn't like this movie, and I apologize. But
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I would also like to point out that I believe
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: it was Megan who.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Said, great, what bring it that?
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: You said that Brittain Penny's character was trying to break
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: out of the patrie chefniche And that's why I bought
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the diner. So that Steve's criticism is of you love
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that one, but everything.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Else, but you did, you did only what is this
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: bozoa about fried chicken line?
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Yes it was all right, Yes it was so great.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: The blame is shared equally.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: All right, Lisa email, that's about Jen Lilly.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Oh No, I don't know if I can take it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, look, she sent honestly quite a long, thoughtful
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: email about yeah, with her thoughts on Jen Lily. I
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: do want to read this. I'm not gonna read the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: whole thing, but I want to read one part. She says.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: A few years ago, I got to be an extra
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: and a Great American Family Christmas movie with her, and
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: at one point it was really late and I got
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: to sit next to her and I told her how
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: much I loved her Hallmark movies. She said she felt
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: like she didn't get the exposure on Great American Family
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that she got on a Hallmark channel. She said she
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: was very nice and said that she went to Great
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: American Family because she has a strong faith and she
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: wanted to help make a channel focused on faith more popular.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Then she said she was not in alignment with some
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: of the things that were being said and promoted on
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Great American Family. So that's helpful for me to hear.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Lisa sends a follow up email and she says, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: got caught up on your podcast today, so I was
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: looking for an old episode to listen and I heard
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: your review of Mingle all the way. Sorry, Lisa Man,
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: it was brutal. Lol. I am not ever watching it
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: again because I, like Megan, have fond memories and I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: don't want to.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: F that up.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: I also listened to the Guiding Emily episode and it
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: was great. It amazes me the things you guys see
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: that I don't. I tried to find your review of
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: my Christmas Guide, but I was driving. Maybe you didn't
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: review it. We have not. If you didn't, you should.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: I think the actor who played the blind man is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: blind irl, but I'm not sure. I really liked it.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: But I like Mingle too. Lol. She finishes by saying,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I also wanted to say that in order to be
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: able to tell you guys apart by voice, I had
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: to watch one of your interviews with Kimberly Sastad. But
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: now I don't have any trouble. That's a follow up
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: to our can you Tell Who's Who? Question?
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: That We Yeah, yeah, I think our voices sound totally different.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I do too.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I also wanted to add, we have so many videos
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: on our YouTube channel if you like, if you go
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to look at it, what is the This is how
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: often I post over there.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't is.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: It Girls gone Hallmark on YouTube or Megan and Wendy.
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: It was once upon a time long story short. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: if you just search girls on Hallmark YouTube, it might
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: need to be linked in our show notes and if
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: it's not, we should add it. But if you just
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: search girls on Hallmark YouTube, it will pull up our
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: YouTube channel. There are nine one hundred seventy eight videos there. However,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: many of those are podcast episodes audio files. Yeah, our
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: podcast is distributed over there. But if you click on videos,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: you could either scroll back through hundreds and hundreds of
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: podcast episodes, or you can click on playlists.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: You will see there a library.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Of videos, sixty second reviews, pop culture favorites, everyday makeup collection,
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: clean with Me videos?
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: This was like what year were reading two thousand fifteen.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: There's our binge Worthy playlist, Taste Test Week playlist, monthly goals, favorites, videos,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: mom dilemmas in the kitchen videos, Oreo tastes. There are
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: hundreds of videos of the two of us from our
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: earlier days on YouTube. So I almost wonder should we
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: do on Instagram like a YouTube video of the week
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and just post like a link likes.
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: No, all right, I'm just afraid mom, we could. I guess,
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: well you sure?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: When not?
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Well, there's some real gems over there, real funny stuff.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: I think so too. This is before we got into Hallmark. Obviously,
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: we were just doing other stuff.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: We showed the YouTube channel in the beginning of twenty twenty,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: deciding to pivot, and it wasn't until later that year
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: that we would launch our first podcast, Long Story Short
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: with Megan and Wendy, which gave birth to Girls CLLL Homewark. Yeah,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: it's there, tons of information.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: We'll link it and then you can say who who,
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: what voice is coming from.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Then you'll know which chick. Then you'll know, hopefully.
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: Paula writes in regarding Jen Lily, she says, you knew
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I would jump in on this. About a year ago
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: I posted about a Gin Lily jag I was on.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I got some positive feedback, especially when I was surprised
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: there was no Gin Lily page on Hallmark. Plus, this
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: was before I knew that her and I would never
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: go to brunch together. I think in a later post
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: you mentioned your disdain for her. I do like her movies, though,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: here are my faves and no particular order. I'm gonna
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: pause right there. Disdain is a strong one.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: I agree. I don't think that's accurate. Her movies haven't
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: hit for you.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: They basically that's basically. It's complicated. But if we just
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: get down to like the movies, they just haven't hit
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: for me. Here's Paula's list Winter, Love Story, Paris, Wine
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and Romance in parentheses, not chocolate. She is referring to
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: a little we had a You know, some of these
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: names are so similar. The list goes on, Yes, Comma,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I do A little daytime Drama, Harvest Love, A Dash
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: of Love, Eat Play Love, Love Unleashed, Mingle all the way.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: Have you watched any of those movies?
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: A little daytime Drama? We have watched Mingle all the way.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: We have watched I don't know if I've seen any
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: of the others. A little daytime Drama's pay Thee. I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: don't remember highlight it or not. It was a long
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: time ago we watch that, right, Yeah.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Paula goes on to write, I couldn't watch the USS Christmas.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: You know how critical I am of Hallmark's treatment of
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the Army and Marines. I am more critical of their
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: treatment of the Navy.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Thanks Paula. And next up, Marry emails with the question
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: post to us about love at Hope Ranch. Did you
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: know the actors who played Tom and Laurie are married
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in real life?
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: I did not good for them. That's exciting.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, so those actors are Scott Martin and Stephanie Burn
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: playing Tom and Laurie, and of course they are a
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: love interest in that movie. Didn't know it?
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: That makes me feel better?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: Actually brand new information.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Mackie writes in regarding generally, Hey, if you guys
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: don't know, Mackie Decil work for us and she's incredible,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: So shout out Mackie. That's right, she writes, Hi, Wendy,
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: this is in response to my call for genally movies.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: We've we seem to share the same mixed feelings about
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: generally returning to Hallmark. The highest that I've rated a
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: movie of hers is three out of five stars, and
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: the two titles that I rated three stars are Winter
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Love Story co starring Kevin McGary and A Dash of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Love co starring Brendan Penny. Although they're both very traditional,
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: I find them enjoyable enough. I mean, like I could
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: give a dash of love Brendan Penny is enough for
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: me to tune in, even Kevin McGary. Yeah, so you
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: guys are all over the board with these genuinely movies
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: though like I haven't, there's not.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: One that's like you haven't watched this one?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it makes sense perhaps to watch Paris
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: winean romance, since the co stars are the same, since
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: she and Dan jen Ot are and that together, and
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: that's what they'll be in together later this month. Our
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: final email is from Lisa regarding Murdoch Mysteries on Hallmark Plus.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I hear a lot of people complaining about the old
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: reruns and non Hallmark originated programs, and I get it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: How many times do we have to see Gold and
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Girls repeats when it's on other channels? But since I
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: have given up complaining and condemnation for lent much more
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: spiritually beneficial than giving up chocolate. I love this email.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I want to say how much I am enjoying the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: Murdoch Mysteries even though it's from two thousand and eight.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, but I could just stare
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: at Yanik Bison's amazing eyelashes forever. Maybe we could get
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: him to guest star in a Hallmark movie as we
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: mature ladies need to see some smolder and older men
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: once in a while. Co sign, we actually need a
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: few more films where the leads are in their fifties
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: and beyond. What say you? I know you have little
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: influence over the artistic choices of Hallmark, but I'm sure
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: someone in their user experience department reads your work, so
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: keep it coming.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: I love this email so much.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: From Lisa Heini Forever, I'm gonna leave her last namail.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I love this email so much. There's so many
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: things I want to comment on. First of all, giving
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: up complaining and condemnation for lent. That needs to be
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: my New Year's resolution for.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: The entire year, except I don't know what I would
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: do with myself.
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: I agree. Also, the murderch mysteries. Every time I turn
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: on Hallmark Plus, it feeds it to me and I'm like,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: do I need to watch this? Is this my throw
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: on show? That like, I don't need to pay that
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: close attention to you because I'm not reviewing it. Well,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: yesterday when I was watching Sugar and Vice, it just
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: fed right into a Murdoch buses. It did mine too,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: It, but it wanted me to mine too.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Also, I agree us mature ladies need to see a
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: smoldering older man once in a while.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: You know this is only some I related but the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: not at all Hallmark friendly show DTF Saint Louis on
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: HBO Max. All four leads are in their fifties, which
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I love. I just wanted to say, like, we don't
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: get a lot of that. No, And they look like
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: they're in their fifties.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's nothing wrong with.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: That, Like they have their original face.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: We've talked about this a lot. We like the second
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: chance romance movies. We like a cast a little mature.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: I like it all, Like, give me the young up
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: and comers, give me the hot smoldering men and women both.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: But I feel like anybody of a certain age, and
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I love her to death. Barbara Nevin, like she's checking
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: that box on there, Like I, where is she plus old? Yeah,

  Speaker 1: She's in Hanna's Winds and she's like, Barbara Nevan is
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: the best, but there's no one else her age.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I'm looking at you like with a big question mark
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: my face, and let's talk about the dudes, like, give
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: me a fifty year old dude, Give me a Gregory Harrison,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: where are you Like he's in his seventies, but.

  Speaker 1: a few Hallmark dudes in there. Well, do you think
• 21:02

• 21:06
  Speaker 2: to guess. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. But like,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: if you are like play in your fifties, you could
