• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like it's what it was. I was doing
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: my notes and I had to scroll back up to

  Speaker 1: see the name of the character, and I was like,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: that's not what I remember her name being at all.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: Me here, And I'm like, am I saying it wrong?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Or is it wrong in IMDb?
• 5:17

  Speaker 2: This week, Amy Winslow trades crime scenes for corn Fields.

• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna talk about in my wishes.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't know. I'm excited. Let's talk like, Oh,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: I know I have it too. Okay, let's talk likes.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Can I start?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: Sure?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Maddy freaking Finocchio is the star of this movie.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I agree with you.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: He's such a delight his accent, his attitude. I loved
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: everything about Tony Tony.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I agree. I imagine that there are some I didn't
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: look at the IMDb reviews, but I imagine there are
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: some who are like, Oh, this guy with his fake
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: accent and fun and is like over the top.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You know it has seven point four rating on it.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I really I loved Matty Finocchio in this world. I'm like,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: we've been saying for a long time, give this guy
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: lead role. I mean, he did have a really big
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: role in Providence Falls.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I guess we got there. But I thought
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: he was damn delightful. I hope we see him in
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Countdown to Christmas. If I did a message Eric Tavley
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: asking if we would see him in Countdown to Christmas,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: he ghosted us. He left me on read maybe he
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: just can't say. Maybe he's too busy. Maybe usually sometimes
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: he'll give us a nugget. That's too bad. Speaking of
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: supporting characters, uh huh. I also loved Sweet Hector, the chauffeur.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: What is that look on your face? That dude was creepy.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: That's why I texted you to ask if you had
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: watched the movie, because I was like, I need to
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: talk about this one character.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: You read him as creepy. I read him as paternal
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: and loving and warm and kind.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about it in my wishes.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Well, I am going to go on record as saying
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I really enjoyed sweet Hector. I thought he was exactly
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: like I said, paternal and loving and warm and kind
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: and supportive both to Annie and to Ben.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: I got the dick.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, didn't you think poor Bill Dow wasn't
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: that giving?
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Like Pretty Woman vibes to you? Like remember Pretty Woman
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: where I can't even remember the actors, and he's very famous,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and he like helps her, he helps Julia Robert, it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: along I can't. He's the one who like sets up
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the dinner where she can like practice how to eat
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and all that.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember who it is, but okay.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Anyway, it gave me that same sort of feeling.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, we'll talk to me about what you liked.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Is that all you like?
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, First, I want to say, overall, I thought this
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: movie was good me too, in a very typical Hallmark
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: kind of way. It was better than some we've watched
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: in this little collection of fall movies. I thought I
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: liked how it opened in the past, and it was
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: very much show us, not tell us. I loved that,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: like we got a big chunk of storytelling in the past.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: I thought it was great. And I just want to say,
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Annie as like an eighteen year old when she gets married.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: She's got the cutest little dress on.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, real cute.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: I was like, so cute, my seventeen year old would
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: wear it today. I liked all that stuff. I thought
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Jill Wagner and Colin Egglesfield were both very good in this.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: I'm going to talk about Jill Moore and my wishes,
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: but I thought they were very good in this. And
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: what I really liked is that Jill's character. I liked
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that they made her out of her environment, but they
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: didn't make her like a country Bumpkin. Yes she was smart, yes, capable, yeah,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: but not out of sorts. But just in a new
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: there's so many people. I mean, yeah, but you know
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: they go to brook and she's.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Like, I love Brooklyn when she has that pizza.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I've been to New York a couple times and I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was like, don't you go to John's. Isn't like John's
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: like the pizza place in the West End that's in
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: London and the West Side. I don't remember where it's at.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I don't remember where.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: As a pizza place that we don't do every time
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: we're in New York. I don't eat pizza New York's
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: would be very offended by the way I order pizza,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: no cheese, peaseless. So I just don't even bother. Yeah,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: so I don't know what the good pizza in New
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: York is.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I am a hold on a second. I'm so embarrassed
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: that I called it like the West End, where the
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: heck is John's. People are screaming at me right now,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: Pizza New York, John's of Bleeker Street. Okay, that's where
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: it's at. Gotta try John's of Bleaker Street. It was delicious, delicious.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Send us your New York recommendations. I'm going next month.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: I've been several times. I've been a lot of times.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: But if you have some like.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Review, where are you staying?
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: We have We're are staying in midtown. We were going
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: to stay somewhere like fun and exciting, but.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: We're not. Okay, We're staying in a Maria all right,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: just to make life these well points baby points points.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: That's right, one hundred percent booked on points. That's all
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I have because we already talked about Matty Finocchio. Do
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you have any other likes?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I like that we see some growth in the
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: character of Giovanna, at least growth in the way that
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: she's portrayed. We meet her as this like kind of
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: bride Zilla in the Home of Vader before we know
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: who she is, although I think we know who she
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: is and we know that she's not well matched to Ben,
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: but they also show her another side of her, which
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: is kind and warm, and I was a little bit
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: waiting for the other shoe to drop in that situation.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: If you've seen My best Friend's Wedding, when you know
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Cameron Diaz character brings Julia Roberts character like she makes
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: her a bridesmaid and she brings her in close and
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: she's like, you kept me close, and she's like, I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: was right to do so, because you were trying to
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: steal my husband. I was waiting for that moment where
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: that's what she was trying to do. We never get that,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: And I do wonder if you know, we don't really
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: get any closure in their relationship other than the newspaper article,
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: and so I don't know if there was a breakup
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: scene that was filmed and not used. But all we
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: know of her the way she treats Annie. She's actually
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: quite kind and lovely to Annie and invites her to
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: participate in the rehearsal and in the wedding, and she
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: takes her shopping and she helps her find a truly
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: lovely dress, and she doesn't set her up to be like,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: oh no, that's great, right, fact, it's like a Glinda
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Goodwitch situation in Wicked. I love that scene actually
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: with the wedding dressing too. So I like that we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: saw two sites of her. I think one of the
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: things I'll talk about in my wishes kind of helps
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: us to root for Giovanna a little bit. I think
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Joe Wagner's just so good. Like you said, she and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: Colin Egglesfield were well matched. It's hard for me that
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: Jill Wagner is such a good actress.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've talked about that at length and when discussing
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: in his history one on one. So let's talk about
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: our wishes, Okay. I hated that Annie just went with
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: her dad and that Ben didn't fight for her. Nobody
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: fights they were adults. I mean, I wouldn't want my
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: eighteen year old daughter to run off in a secret
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: wedding situation either, but I wouldn't demand her to come home.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It was just weird. Ben was not a bad guy,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: so I don't I couldn't really track why the dad
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: would be so upset other than their age.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I didn't love that either. They both just
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: kind of caved.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: They're like, all right, grab my suitcase, going with my
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: dad to run away and to get married.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: But not to fight for it.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I thought that was weird. I thought it was weird.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I have a feeling this is what you're going to
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: talk about. But I felt bad for both Joe and
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: Giovanna are both collateral damage here, yes, And I feel
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: like the writer tried to make them both unlikable so
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: the viewers didn't feel bad when they got cut loose.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: That's an interesting thought, Well that was you know, I
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: thought that about Giavano when we first at first, Yeah,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: you know, they make her seem unlikable, and she even
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Annie says like, oh, I feel bad for whoever her
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: fiance is, right, I was marrying her. But then we
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: see that she's not a bad person. It's just more
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that she and Ben are poorly matched. She wants to
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: change his apartment and do all of these things, and
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: it's just that they're not a good match. They're not
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: meant for each other. And I think the same is
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: probably true of Joe.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: Joe, I mean, the writing is on the wall when
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: he's like, let's set a date. We've been engaged for
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: two years, and she's like.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't really feel like they made Joe look
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: like a bad guy. I just feel like they made
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: it obvious from the beginning that Annie wasn't all in
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: on Joe. Yeah, I was so reluctant to set a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: date and plan a wedding and do anything with moving
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that relationship forward.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: She was like this, what do you call hey, Joe,
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: how's it going?
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: It wasn't like how you would talk to like your
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: romantic partner at all. Hey Joe, what's up? No?
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: And so I feel like they try and get around
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: the fact that they broke up their relationships by making
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: them not break up for each other. And Ben shows
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: up and he's like, what do you mean she's not
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: engaged anymore? But they did behave inappropriately, They do kiss,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: They are on basically dates. Yeah, out this movie, you know,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: her going up to his apartment and all that time
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: they spend together, they were both cheating on their partner.
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: That's the stuff you hate.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Even though obviously Annie and Ben are supposed to be together.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: Obviously they still have the same chemistry. Obviously they're in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: relationships that are mismatched. I hate it when it comes
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: together like that.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. There was a scene where I think they were
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: in the limo and she like snuggled up on his
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: shoulder and I was like, no, girl, you're doing You're
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: sending some really mixed signals here, not even mixed signals,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: like what are you doing right?
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: So there's a TikToker I follow, No, don't even follow
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: showed up on my for you page and she's like,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: my husband left. I'm going through a divorce and like
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I keep running into her stuff, right and she's like processing,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: like her life through divorce. Well, then the other day
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: TikTok showed me another woman who's the other woman?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Oh my goodness.
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: And the comments this is the worst part, the comments
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: ranged shrump he left her for you, which I was like, yike,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: let's not do that. Let's do that, little boy. Then
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: they were like a strong home is not built on
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: another woman's tears. And this woman her post was like
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: I know you all want to make me the villain
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and go. And I was like, maybe TikTok's not the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: police for you right now. Wow, Like so she was
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the any in this situation. But it's it's complicated because
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: obviously Annie and Ben were a better match. But you're right,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: there is collateral damage here. Yeah, and I think it
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: might be hard to live with that.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: If you're Annie or Ben.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially she's gonna have to see Oh actually, I
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: take that back, because they were on the roof of
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: a New York penthouse or a building at the end. Yeah,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I was thinking like she would have to see Joe
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: all the time because he worked for the farm.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: They're on a penthouse at the end.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't remember, like she's pregnant and they're like
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: in a field, but then it pulls back and it's
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: on top of like.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: A New York City building. I literally have no member
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of that scene. Yes, because here's what I didn't like.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: They got engaged right away, uh huh. And my notes
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: they they should not have gotten engaged. They I don't
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: know anything about each other. Oh, I understand you had
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: this relationship years ago, but you need to date now.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: That's what really irritated me is they just jumped. I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: was like, no, no, no, no, no no no. I don't
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: care that you're married already. You need to get engaged
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: and you need to date each other. You need to
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: meet each other. You spent three days together, right, So
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that very bothered me. I think you turned it off
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: before you saw that end scened. Maybe I did. I
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: don't remember her being pregnant at all. Yeah, finally, this
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: is not a Fall movie other than one throw away
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: mention of the season. I love Fall.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: I think that was it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Here are my two final no I have three wishes.
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: I want to talk about Jill for a second. She
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: gives us strong Amy Winslow energy all the time. Now,
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: we have only seen her in Pearl and Paradise and
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: Mystery one on one, so I feel like she's always
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Amy Winslow. Though, like in this movie, I was like,
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: she moves like Amy Winslow to me.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: She's kind of like take charge.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we need to see a different note in her.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: I like her as an actor, but it gave the
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: same sort of energy.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: When she comes in on that tractor. I was a
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: little afraid that she was gonna lean real hard into
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: country bumpkin. Yeah, like she's got that, like she's almost
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: like it has an accent a little bit. She doesn't
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: do it. It's that only moment where I was like, Oh,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: we're gonna get character joll Wagner. Yeah, but we didn't.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. The other thing we'll talk about Hector creep
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: me out. I know we it's on my notes here.
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: We talked about it. He's always like observing, always watching
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: in the riverview mirror. It fell creepy. It was like
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: a tight scene of h his eyes in the river mirror.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I was like, yuck, I hated all of that interesting.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: I hated all I know exactly what you're talking when
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: he's kind of like smiling when he looks you see what.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Creeps? Okay, the full creeps. And last I talked about
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: it in a movie we just reviewed. There is a
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: problem with time in this movie. How much time is
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: in one week? She gets there? It is a work day, yeah,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and then on Saturday Ben is supposed to get married.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: But they do all these things. They go to court,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: they go shopping, they go sightseeing. Giovanna goes to Chicago
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: and comes back. They have a rehearsal dinner like, yeah,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: or not dinner, but a rehearsal. I'm like, how many
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: days are in a week? Care?
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean that honestly is all my digitsy that too? Oh?
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Really? Yeah?
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Especially how does Anny make it home in time to
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: save the crops? The storm is actively happening.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: I thought about that as well. I was like, if
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a storm is active, is more of an issue getting
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: an airplane into des Moines or whatever, just like.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: Walk to the airport and walk on an airplane like
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: you gotta like, you know, you gotta get to the airport,
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: find a flight, get home. This is hours later. It
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: kind of seems like she probably is not getting there,
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: but for the rain has actually started. We're already in
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: blustery windblowing.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Everything, and Annie is one person.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, why couldn't you call it? You don't have some
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: extra farm help? You could have called into sandbag.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: The crops, right, exactly?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: That's my only digit.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: See that now, you know, I have a question because
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: they're like, we made quota. What does that mean? Exactly?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Doesn't mean they grew enough.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Or harvested enough to be able to sell it and
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: make it make sense.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, that makes sense. I mean not a farmer. I
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: have no idea me either. That's just what I'm assuming.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: All right, let's talk. Did you see that? I know
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: you already mentioned yours. I have one, and it's just
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: the scene where Annie and Ben reunite as adults in
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: the office.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: She knocks on Tony's door and Ben makes some sort
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: of like comment or whatever, and he turned around and
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: Ben goes Annie, question mark, and Annie goes Ben question
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: of Mark. Like, that's not how you react to somebody.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: You would be like, he would say, Annie, and she
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: would just say, oh my god, Yeah, it's not Wait
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: are you who I think you are.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, you're going to immediately realize you were and
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: get you were married?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: You were married?
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, excellent point. Uh huh. Do you ever envision
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that moment, like running into someone from your past being like.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, yeah, I don't I don't like that,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: oh from my past past. Oh no, I don't want
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: to do it.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: I don't either.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I would pretend that I don't know you.
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: Oh. I have turned and walked the other way, and.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: As have I. As have I. I was at a
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: concert like a long time ago with my current husband
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: and who was walking down the opposite of me is
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: somebody that I used to date, and I was like,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: we're just going to continue walk by like I don't
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: know you. Yeah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I've not had that in my adult years, but I've
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: definitely turned and walked away from people that did not
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: want to have a confrontation.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Hey what did you rate on? I gave it three
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and a half stars. I gave it three point seven
• 23:03
