1:23
Speaker 1: look like one the conversation they had apparently clarified it.

Speaker 1: of the Hallmark Christmas Cruise, and he has three additional
2:31
Speaker 1: projects coming up on IMDb. Are they Homemark projects? As
2:35
Speaker 1: far as I can tell, do not believe them to

3:26
Speaker 1: to Greek dude, having appeared in Love's Greek to me
3:29
Speaker 1: and the wedding veil journey. We're gonna take a quick
3:32
Speaker 1: break and we'll come right back. We're back in its
3:41
Speaker 1: time for first impressions, Wendy, what you got? The real
3:45
Speaker 1: love story here is between me and the Greek salad.
3:48
Speaker 1: Did you see that Greek salad had these huge pieces
3:52
Speaker 1: of feti cheese in it? Oh? My god, I wanted
3:55
Speaker 1: it so badly. I'm still dreaming about it. My first
3:58
Speaker 1: impression is Homewark take not. This is how you do inclusivity,
4:01
Speaker 1: not with secondary characters, but upfront, proudly, and with more
4:04
Speaker 1: than one kiss in the movie. Totally co sign on
4:08
Speaker 1: all of that. I have some thoughts. I cannot wait
4:11
Speaker 1: to hear them. Shall we talk likes? Yeah? Overall, I
4:15
Speaker 1: really enjoyed this movie. I thought I liked the first one.
4:18
Speaker 1: I liked this one more. Y give me too. But to say,
4:21
Speaker 1: I'm gonna insert complaint corner here in response to your
4:26
Speaker 1: first impression, Yes, wholeheartedly agree that this is how you
4:31
Speaker 1: do inclusivity. However, sticking with a sports analogy, why did
4:37
Speaker 1: you punt it to Hallmark? Plus, I'm just not I'm
4:40
Speaker 1: upset about it? Oh? Sure, I agree with you? Yeah,
4:43
Speaker 1: put it on the main channel. What's happening here? If
4:46
Speaker 1: Lacy Shubert is the face of Hallmark, I'm gonna say
4:49
Speaker 1: Jonathan Bennett is probably equally a face of Hallmark, like
4:53
Speaker 1: one of the big names for Hallmark. His face is
4:55
Speaker 1: all over the Hallmark Plus ads, all over them. Yeah,
4:57
Speaker 1: he's the host of the two Chris cruises, like the host. Yeah,
5:02
Speaker 1: I know. So put a love story freeaturing him and
5:06
Speaker 1: a same sex couple on the main channel. And hear you,
5:10
Speaker 1: there is no representation on the main channel this year.
5:14
Speaker 1: I know they're really relying on these three movies to
5:17
Speaker 1: drive Homark Plus subscriptions. It kind of pisses me off,
5:21
Speaker 1: to be honest. And you know, we are out of
5:24
Speaker 1: seven ish movies in on the main channels, and we
5:27
Speaker 1: are seeing some representation in supporting characters. And I know
5:31
Speaker 1: that's gonna be I know we're gonna hear like, but yeah, louder,
5:37
Speaker 1: make it louder. So I agree with you. I overall
5:41
Speaker 1: really liked this movie, and I agreed when you said
5:44
Speaker 1: you liked it more. I think I liked it differently.
5:46
Speaker 1: So for me, we still get the strong friendship trio.
5:50
Speaker 1: I think that's more the focus of First Look is
5:54
Speaker 1: the dudes, and I feel like Pete and Chelsea's love
5:57
Speaker 1: story they didn't get as much time to shine in
5:59
Speaker 1: that movie. It takes a little bit of a back
6:02
Speaker 1: seat to the bromance that we have happening. That's not
6:05
Speaker 1: the case here. I think we still build on the
6:08
Speaker 1: friendship of the dudes. It's still a strong through line,
6:11
Speaker 1: but it doesn't overshadow the love story. We still had
6:14
Speaker 1: a lot of fun moments between them. They made me
6:17
Speaker 1: laugh a lot, some continue running bits, but we get
6:20
Speaker 1: a chance for the Zach and Danny love story to
6:22
Speaker 1: really shine. We do, and I was really drawn in
6:26
Speaker 1: by the Danny and Zach journey seeing them take this
6:32
Speaker 1: like literal plunge into the ocean. Don't jump, don't jump
6:36
Speaker 1: like all that like running. I thought that was a
6:40
Speaker 1: very powerful moment and really one that says, like sees
6:45
Speaker 1: the moment like here we are, let's do this. I
6:49
Speaker 1: like the messaging there. I thought there were so many
6:52
Speaker 1: great things about that. The moment where they almost jump
6:56
Speaker 1: earlier in the movie, where Zach is still engaged to
6:59
Speaker 1: Nolan and Jonathan has his hand out and it looks
7:02
Speaker 1: like Zach's gonna grab his hand and he kind of
7:04
Speaker 1: just pats him on the arm and the moment ends.
7:06
Speaker 1: It's it's such an unfinished moment, Like I feel the
7:11
Speaker 1: let down in the way that it's staged and the
7:14
Speaker 1: fact that we come full circle on that later. Yeah,
7:18
Speaker 1: it's so great. It was great, also great. I love
7:22
Speaker 1: the vows between Danny and Zach. Honestly, in my opinion,
7:27
Speaker 1: it was Jonathan Bennett's like best work. He says like,
7:33
Speaker 1: I didn't write any vows because I've known what to
7:36
Speaker 1: say for whatever the timeframe is. I was like, that
7:40
Speaker 1: is so lovely. I just really loved it. And and
7:44
Speaker 1: you talked about kisses? Did you talk about kissing it? Did?
7:47
Speaker 1: There were some fire kisses and a lot of them
7:50
Speaker 1: in this movie. The way that I threw my hands
7:54
Speaker 1: in the air and waved them like I just didn't
7:56
Speaker 1: care when they kissed. I was so happy to see
8:02
Speaker 1: it on my screen, but then reminded, oh, it's on Hallmark.
8:05
Speaker 1: Plus so many great iconic rom com moments in this movie.
8:10
Speaker 1: They're confronting each other after they're almost kiss after Nolan
8:14
Speaker 1: shows up and interrupts it, and the next morning, Danny's like,
8:18
Speaker 1: we need to talk about this, and Zach's like, you
8:20
Speaker 1: can't walk away from love because of an almost and
8:23
Speaker 1: that's so great. The other line I love is when
8:27
Speaker 1: Jonathan is discussing how his relationship ended. Zach is asking him,
8:31
Speaker 1: like what happened, and he's like, you know all those
8:34
Speaker 1: like it wasn't one big thing. It's like all those
8:36
Speaker 1: little things. You're like, I can just put that on
8:37
Speaker 1: the shelf, and the shelf eventually got too heavy. I
8:40
Speaker 1: think it's such a great way to describe, like the
8:43
Speaker 1: death by a thousand paper cuts end of our relationship. Yeah, totally,
8:47
Speaker 1: And that's a shout out to the writer there, I
8:50
Speaker 1: think conveying what your viewers have likely dealt with in
8:55
Speaker 1: the past. It was such a like a I mean,
8:58
Speaker 1: it was simply words, but it created such a great
9:01
Speaker 1: visual like, oh yeah, I'm familiar with that feeling, right.
9:05
Speaker 1: Can we talk a little bit more about Jonathan Bennett. Yeah,
9:07
Speaker 1: he's so good And look, I know last week I'm
9:09
Speaker 1: like more than just Jonathan Bennett. Doesn't mean I don't
9:12
Speaker 1: want lots of Jonathan Bennett. Let me let me tell
9:14
Speaker 1: you all the great thing about Jonathan Bennet. First of all,
9:16
Speaker 1: his smile. He finally kisses. Zach is so good. His
9:20
Speaker 1: realization face that he gets when he realized was like, Oh,
9:24
Speaker 1: I'm look, I'm into this dude. Like that is amazing.
9:28
Speaker 1: He's still his fun self throughout this role, but his
9:31
Speaker 1: affection for Zach and the heartbreak that he feels when
9:34
Speaker 1: things fall apart, and as you mentioned, his vows are
9:38
Speaker 1: all so sincere. Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't like he gives
9:44
Speaker 1: equal weight to the fun and silly and the sincere
9:47
Speaker 1: and loving parts of his personality. I think there was
9:50
Speaker 1: less silly in this one compared to the first one,
9:52
Speaker 1: much I liked because I didn't really I don't like hijinks,
9:55
Speaker 1: so I appreciated the more tender moments, the more emotional
10:00
Speaker 1: moments from Jonathan Bennett in this movie. I don't think
10:04
Speaker 1: I've ever seen a movie with him where he really
10:06
Speaker 1: has to like get in touch with those kind of feelings,
10:10
Speaker 1: like he hasn't been given the playground to play in
10:13
Speaker 1: that sort of range. Yeah. I like the timing of
10:16
Speaker 1: this movie, and I like that we rewind. I love that.
10:20
Speaker 1: I loved that, and it makes a lot of sense
10:22
Speaker 1: because there was a lot of Zach and Danny conversation
10:25
Speaker 1: throughout the first movie. It made sense to do it
10:28
Speaker 1: this way. And there's one great shot where they're at
10:30
Speaker 1: Hannah's wedding and then we see the shot of Pete
10:32
Speaker 1: and Chelsea dancing through the doorway and it just centers
10:35
Speaker 1: us in times so well, and they do it without
10:38
Speaker 1: feeling repetitive. Yeah. I like how they did that. I'm
10:43
Speaker 1: curious to see how that plays in to the third movie.
10:48
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I suspect the third movie does not overlap
10:53
Speaker 1: in time. I think it's going to a little bit.
10:56
Speaker 1: You do, because the makeup artist that Jackson sends to
11:01
Speaker 1: Pete yes prior to their video call, is the woman
11:06
Speaker 1: that Tyler Hines's character is involved in. So I think
11:10
Speaker 1: there's going to be sued. I see there. But then
11:14
Speaker 1: they're all going to Italy to take Betty to meet
11:16
Speaker 1: her mom and all of that, which I have art
11:19
Speaker 1: I have complicated feelings about, like why does she get
11:23
Speaker 1: to decide that for Betty? I don't know. She clearly
11:28
Speaker 1: has a relationship with her dad and the mom just
11:30
Speaker 1: gets to say you have to move here. Yeah, I
11:32
Speaker 1: think we're assuming what's going to happen in the next movie.
11:35
Speaker 1: I don't know, We don't know, We don't but it
11:38
Speaker 1: bothers me preemptively because I'm like, this isn't a weekend ad.
11:43
Speaker 1: He's clearly very involved in his daughter's life, So why
11:48
Speaker 1: is she being allowed to make the unilateral decision to
11:51
Speaker 1: move their daughter to Italy? Because look, if we both
11:53
Speaker 1: lived here in Chicago, there's no judge who's going to
11:59
Speaker 1: allow that to happen When you've got two in Chicago.
12:02
Speaker 1: Aren't they in Chicago? Philly? Okay, that's right, the Phillies
12:06
Speaker 1: Jonathan's wardrobe of Phillies. We live the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Yeah,
12:11
Speaker 1: thank you, we're here in Philly. I'm just saying, there's
12:14
Speaker 1: no judge. It's gonna be like, yeah, man, take her
12:16
Speaker 1: away from a perfectly involved parent. If you want to move, fine,
12:20
Speaker 1: but then you get visitation. You don't get primary custody.
12:23
Speaker 1: Unless Tyler's like a girl needs her mom, she can go.
12:26
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know. We'll see, we'll talk
12:28
Speaker 1: about it next time. We'll see. Any more likes, Yeah,
12:32
Speaker 1: I have a few more. You mentioned the friendship, the
12:35
Speaker 1: bromance between the guys here. I think it's super refreshing
12:39
Speaker 1: to see like three dudes really kind of like open
12:44
Speaker 1: their heart and share things, be vulnerable, because in contrast,
12:49
Speaker 1: I think a lot of the entertainment that we consume
12:52
Speaker 1: is just like toxic masculinity. And of course I watched
12:56
Speaker 1: this movie after I watched the finale of The Chickens
12:59
Speaker 1: sys Here's whoa that was in full bloom there, and
13:04
Speaker 1: so it feels really nice and I just wish that
13:08
Speaker 1: I wish that we saw more of that. I think
13:11
Speaker 1: that for someone like my husband, Right, it's not like
13:14
Speaker 1: a road map, but it's to show that like, hey,
13:17
Speaker 1: this let's normalize. Yeah, this can be entertaining too, Like
13:21
Speaker 1: we don't need to make the men the villain all
13:23
Speaker 1: the time. And I'm just saying, like we need to
13:25
Speaker 1: oh poor men, That's not what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah,
13:28
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's great to see these dudes show up
13:30
Speaker 1: for each other. That's scene where they roll into grease
13:33
Speaker 1: and they're like, hope you got a good calling plan,
13:34
Speaker 1: And I was like, yeah, the plane tickets weren't cheap either.
13:36
Speaker 1: Like that's such a great moment that would not even
13:39
Speaker 1: be remarkable if it were girls. Right, Like that happens
13:42
Speaker 1: in the wedding Veil. Those girls show for each other
13:43
Speaker 1: all the time, right, But when it happens for dudes,
13:46
Speaker 1: you're like, yes, let's do this, let's show like it's
13:49
Speaker 1: cool for men to show up for other men. Yeah
13:54
Speaker 1: and and yeah, yes I agree. Hey, can we talk
13:59
Speaker 1: about Alexander Lincoln as Zach. It's a real snack. I
14:07
Speaker 1: I love his like dry charming humor and it plays
14:10
Speaker 1: off Jonathan Bennett's. I hope he continues on Hallmark. I
14:15
Speaker 1: doubt he will, just because like there's not usually a
14:18
Speaker 1: huge opportunity for like English actors unless we got Will
14:23
Speaker 1: Kemp with an American accent. True, Hey, if Alexander Lincoln
14:26
Speaker 1: can do an American accent, well, so he could have
14:29
Speaker 1: a British accent. Sometimes people just have accent. I agree.
14:32
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree with that. But like think of all
14:35
Speaker 1: the movies, Like, I know, we got a bunch of
14:37
Speaker 1: English actors in a movie this year because they did
14:39
Speaker 1: all that Jane Os and stuff earlier this year. So
14:42
Speaker 1: I just don't maybe like Tom Holland has a British
14:46
Speaker 1: accent do play Spider Man? Yeah, no, I get it,
14:49
Speaker 1: I get it. I would like to see more, you know,
14:52
Speaker 1: I think to your point about Alexander Lincoln, they had
14:55
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make him really one note here, and
14:57
Speaker 1: he's not much like Jonathan Bennett Wacy. They allow him
15:01
Speaker 1: to have a personality beyond just his job and his role.
15:05
Speaker 1: Correct me if I if I'm wrong here, But I
15:08
Speaker 1: believe your favorite movie is My best Friend's Wedding. I
15:11
Speaker 1: could quote the entire thing. Want to watch it with me?
15:13
Speaker 1: You don't, I promise that's funny to me. This movie
15:20
Speaker 1: was like my best friend's wedding. You know. You sent
15:22
Speaker 1: that text to me and I was like, like a hundred,
15:25
Speaker 1: but did you not see it? Well? I think the
15:28
Speaker 1: difference is in my best Friend's Wedding, there's no rooting
15:31
Speaker 1: for Julia Roberts's character. She's the absolute villain worse. Yeah,
15:36
Speaker 1: And so I think they took that trope and they
15:39
Speaker 1: made Danny's character like, look, I'm in love with you.
15:43
Speaker 1: I'm realizing that now. I would really love for you
15:46
Speaker 1: to choose me, but I'm not gonna have the pick me,
15:48
Speaker 1: choose me love moment. I'm not going to try and
15:52
Speaker 1: sabotage your relationship by putting your fiance in these horrifying situations.
15:57
Speaker 1: A little bit, though he didn't make him sing carry
15:59
Speaker 1: up the rock climbing. Yes, that's true, that's true. But
16:03
Speaker 1: then that's where the dudes come in and we get
16:07
Speaker 1: what we should have had as the George character finally
16:12
Speaker 1: comes in and like pulls Julia Jules's character a little
16:15
Speaker 1: bit in line. The dude step in a little bit earlier,
16:17
Speaker 1: and I think P. J. Britt's character is like, yo, bro,
16:21
Speaker 1: you can't this is cruel. Some men talk to each
16:27
Speaker 1: other in my head. He gives him like this is
16:30
Speaker 1: not really cool, Like what are you doing here? So
16:33
Speaker 1: they shut that down a little bit earlier. I like
16:35
Speaker 1: that they did that, and they're like, you either need
16:37
Speaker 1: to be here for him or not. Two more things grease, Hello,
16:42
Speaker 1: I want to go. Everything from food to the architecture
16:46
Speaker 1: is beautiful. I'm so glad that they like shot on location.
16:50
Speaker 1: There stunning. I want to go. Don't you want to go?
16:54
Speaker 1: I want to go. I was actually just thinking, I'm like,
16:56
Speaker 1: maybe if you like this, cruise will get you on
16:57
Speaker 1: a Greek gyles cruise. I'm into it. Okay, I'm into it.
17:01
Speaker 1: The last thing, I do love the through line of
17:04
Speaker 1: the Runaway Bride telling the story. Yeah, it does bring
17:08
Speaker 1: a lot of intrigue. Sure, so I have some notes
17:13
Speaker 1: and my digit see that we do specifically about that.
17:16
Speaker 1: Now we can move on to wishes. Gosh, all right,
17:19
Speaker 1: I have a question. Yeah, it's a throwaway line. Oh,
17:22
Speaker 1: that's why Pete moved Bulgaria part time? What the heck
17:24
Speaker 1: does that mean he didn't move to Bulgaria if he's
17:26
Speaker 1: there part time? What are you talking about? Is he
17:29
Speaker 1: working in Bulgaria? They just they throw it away and
17:31
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, Pete MULTIPLEGARYO part time? What I just wrote?
17:36
Speaker 1: Wtf does that mean? In my notes? How do you
17:38
Speaker 1: be a part time doctor? I know these are good
17:41
Speaker 1: questions and ones that are not relevant to the storyline.
17:44
Speaker 1: Not at all, Not at all. Oh, there are far
17:47
Speaker 1: too many baseball references in this in this movie. Megan
17:50
Speaker 1: even texts me She's like, what is Jonathan Bennet's job?
17:53
Speaker 1: And see like a batting coach? It seems like it
17:56
Speaker 1: with a number of how much time he spends in
17:57
Speaker 1: a batting cage. Yes, however, I was listening to our
18:00
Speaker 1: friends at deck the homework this morning. Yeah, and somebody
18:03
Speaker 1: clarified that he is a former pitcher. Well I knew
18:08
Speaker 1: he used to play. They make a comment like, why
18:10
Speaker 1: is the pitcher, the batting coach. Now wouldn't he need
18:13
Speaker 1: a pitching coach if he was a former best If
18:16
Speaker 1: he's a National league player, he probably had to bat too.
18:19
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he's the shohe Otani of the Fake Phillies.
18:22
Speaker 1: Perhaps if I can mention something here, it's your podcast.
18:28
Speaker 1: I know a former baseball major league baseball player. You do, Yeah,
18:33
Speaker 1: you know. I'm not questioning you. I'm like, I've never
18:35
Speaker 1: once heard this man make a baseball reference in my
18:38
Speaker 1: entire life. Interesting, and so to hear like Jonathan Bennett's
18:43
Speaker 1: character be like and the crowd goes wild, I'm like, Nope,
18:47
Speaker 1: that's never gonna happen. Yeah, I hear what you're saying,
18:50
Speaker 1: never gonna happen. It would be like us. I was
18:53
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out what the equivalent is for
18:55
Speaker 1: you and I I don't know, talking about podcasting. I don't.
18:59
Speaker 1: It's like my husband, I'm talking about counting. He doesn't
19:01
Speaker 1: do that. It just doesn't happen. It's true, it's not
19:05
Speaker 1: your whole personality. I hear you, I hear you. So
19:08
Speaker 1: for me, the baseball analogies in this movie were too much.
19:13
Speaker 1: I think they lean too art into it. Hey, I
19:15
Speaker 1: feel like I should take issue with Zach and Nolan's
19:18
Speaker 1: breakup and the fact that, like Jonathan Bennett is actively
19:22
Speaker 1: in love with Zach. But here's why I don't. One,
19:26
Speaker 1: Nolan's the worst and he never attempts to not be terrible,
19:29
Speaker 1: like I'll be there for our wedding, and then there's
19:33
Speaker 1: he does every single time his job. I understand, but
19:37
Speaker 1: at some point and you be like, yo, this is
19:39
Speaker 1: my wedding, this is our wedding. I just mean too,
19:42
Speaker 1: like your business. Yeah, at some point everyone is replaceable.
19:46
Speaker 1: I don't actually think Zach has done anything wrong. Like
19:50
Speaker 1: he's not dating Danny, he's not falling for Danny, Like
19:56
Speaker 1: he still seems to be pretty committed to making his
19:58
Speaker 1: relationship with Nolan work. Oh look, I'm allowed to be
20:00
Speaker 1: a hypocrite. But the proposal, is the proposal still on
20:05
Speaker 1: the table is perhaps the absolute worst way to start
20:08
Speaker 1: an engagement. Nolan called and said, is the proposal still
20:11
Speaker 1: on the table, like it's a business deal. Yeah nope,
20:15
Speaker 1: I'd be like, sorry, yeah, you don't want to be
20:18
Speaker 1: second choice? No, no, you don't. If you had to
20:21
Speaker 1: think about it, I'm sorry. Yeah, Now, let me ask
20:25
Speaker 1: you this because I know in previous movie reviews you
20:28
Speaker 1: really hate if like a man and a woman were
20:33
Speaker 1: growing closer together. Yeah, that's my whole point here. Yeah yeah, okay,
20:37
Speaker 1: all right, so you're not bothered by it though in
20:39
Speaker 1: this movie. No, for the reasons that I stated, and
20:42
Speaker 1: also because sometimes I get to be a hypocrite. But okay,
20:44
Speaker 1: but no one sucks. Okay, I don't disagree with you.
20:48
Speaker 1: Let's hear some wishes from you that I gave you
20:50
Speaker 1: too many baseballs. Too many baseballs. That's it? Got it?
20:53
Speaker 1: You ready for? Did you see that? I am? Okay.
20:56
Speaker 1: The opening scene where they have the dudes standing outside
20:59
Speaker 1: the bar talking to the bar owner, that's not the dude.
21:03
Speaker 1: That is not our guys. I was like, come on,
21:06
Speaker 1: the voiceover so bad, terrible, clearly not our actors. I
21:11
Speaker 1: was wondering here though, Yeah, are these like future dudes? Yeah?
21:16
Speaker 1: Like are these supposed to be like our guys in
21:19
Speaker 1: current time? I know, But it's their voices. That's the
21:23
Speaker 1: part that's confusing to me. Like it's definitely at least
21:27
Speaker 1: a couple of their voices I think. Hmm. I was
21:30
Speaker 1: just like so shocked. I was like, that is not
21:32
Speaker 1: the back of their it is not the back of
21:33
Speaker 1: their heads. Well yeah, Also, did you watch this movie
21:38
Speaker 1: with close captioning? Of course always on Homark Plus. At
21:42
Speaker 1: one point, the runaway bright is speaking and it captures her.
21:45
Speaker 1: It says like Elizabeth Colin and her lines, and I
21:47
Speaker 1: was like, Betty is sure for realism? Oh it is Betty.
21:52
Speaker 1: I feel pretty strongly that it is. But look, I've
21:55
Speaker 1: been wrong before about many things. That is so funny.
21:58
Speaker 1: So I did miss mess, said Ryan M. Murphy, who
22:01
Speaker 1: is a producer on this movie. And I was like,
22:04
Speaker 1: because he had posted a picture of like the Runaway Bride,
22:07
Speaker 1: and I was like, is this supposed to be Betty?
22:08
Speaker 1: And his response was the emoji guy with his hands
22:11
Speaker 1: in nas shrugging emoji. Yeah, yeah, if that's Betty, let's
22:16
Speaker 1: talk this through here. If this is Betty, she looks
22:19
Speaker 1: nothing like the young actress who plays Betty. Her eyes
22:23
Speaker 1: are so blue, They're like your eyes. They're like piercing
22:28
Speaker 1: light blue eyes. Right, I hadn't clocked her eyes. I
22:31
Speaker 1: don't think young Betty's eyes look like that. They have
22:34
Speaker 1: different hair. Their hair is completely different, and they just
22:37
Speaker 1: look totally different. Now, look, did I look totally different
22:40
Speaker 1: from my fourteen year old self, as I do now,
22:44
Speaker 1: he sort of. So. Look, I got married when I
22:48
Speaker 1: was twenty five, and I look like I'm about fourteen
22:50
Speaker 1: years old. Like people saw out my wedding photos who
22:52
Speaker 1: didn't know me when I got married, and they're like, oh,
22:53
Speaker 1: look it's your husband and his child bride. Like I
22:56
Speaker 1: looked until I turned thirty, I looked very young. Oh interesting,
23:00
Speaker 1: Now I look my age. I have one final did
23:03
Speaker 1: you see that? Okay, so little? But the weights in
23:06
Speaker 1: the jam are measured in kilograms? Did you notice? I
23:09
Speaker 1: did not notice, but it was clocked on D so I,
23:12
Speaker 1: oh was it? Yeah? I just assume it's a sign
23:15
Speaker 1: of the fact that they were filming this in Europe
23:18
Speaker 1: and so they were using a European gym. That's funny.
23:21
Speaker 1: That is funny. Though I'd be like, I don't know,
23:25
Speaker 1: I can you do that? Like all the time I
23:27
Speaker 1: spend in a gym, I have absolutely no idea. How
23:31
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying like you don't know the conversion. Yeah,
23:33
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I may. I guess you can
23:35
Speaker 1: tell by the weight, Like you're like, is it too heavy?
23:38
Speaker 1: Is it a five pounder? Or is it a fifty
23:41
Speaker 1: pounder and I can't tell. Also Google exists, Yeah, this
23:44
Speaker 1: is true. I one of my big did you see
23:47
Speaker 1: that is Danny's sister is not at his own wedding?
23:51
Speaker 1: Well she's no will she should be there? No? I know,
23:55
Speaker 1: but she is not there? Isn't she also not one
23:58
Speaker 1: of the bridesmaids in Chelsea's wedding? Yeah? Weird. Not more
24:02
Speaker 1: weird than not being at your brother's wedding. You know,
24:05
Speaker 1: they didn't have the budget to fly de Grease apparently apparently,
24:08
Speaker 1: so they're like, you get Bulgaria, that's it, not grease.
24:12
Speaker 1: Maybe that's why we have those weird three body doubles. No,
24:16
Speaker 1: because our guys would have been in grease. I don't know.
24:18
Speaker 1: Maybe they shot that something. Maybe they had that idea
24:21
Speaker 1: later and they weren't there. Yeah, I don't know. It
24:24
Speaker 1: was weird though, I only have one more. Did just
24:26
Speaker 1: see that? And yeah? It's back to the food. Okay,
24:29
Speaker 1: food is constantly running through my mind. They sat down.
24:31
Speaker 1: I think they're doing like a taste testing maybe uh huh.
24:36
Speaker 1: It was like all this Greek food. I just wanted
24:38
Speaker 1: to eat it. All the food did look good. Zach's Okay,
24:42
Speaker 1: this is always like a how do you how do
24:44
Speaker 1: you pronounce g y r yuo? Zero? Me too, same?
24:51
Speaker 1: Zach pronounced it gyro gyro, which it was. I thought
24:55
Speaker 1: it was funny. I thought like maybe like the Greek
24:57
Speaker 1: lady would have like, yeah, correct, I mean because he
25:01
Speaker 1: did correct somebody about bootoneers uh huh, but yeah, I
25:06
Speaker 1: was like, no, it's not gyro. I love a EARO. Okay,
25:10
Speaker 1: I'm hungry. You don't tell. What did you rate this movie?
25:12
