Speaker 2: Netflix holiday film Holiday, as well as the series Tiny

3:04
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, one of your favorites, one of my faiths.

3:12
Speaker 1: forty years and includes the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Shakespeare
3:17
Speaker 1: and Hathaway, and Belgravia.
3:19
Speaker 2: Let's take a quick break and come right back with
3:21
Speaker 2: our first impressions. Hey, Wendy, what is your first impression
3:33
Speaker 2: of an Alpine Holiday?
3:34
Speaker 1: I'm scared right now.
3:36
Speaker 2: We have not talked about this at all.
3:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and before we jumped on, Mike, You're like, I
3:40
Speaker 1: can't wait to hear your impression of this movie.
3:42
Speaker 2: Let's hear it.
3:44
Speaker 1: I expected cute sister quest, I got emotional accountability.
3:49
Speaker 2: My first impression is does Blaine Chiapetta have a sister?
3:52
Speaker 2: Because these two are written to perfection?
3:55
Speaker 1: Right?
3:56
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, I absolutely agree with that. Okay,
3:59
Speaker 2: let's talk about likes. Well, let me start with my
4:02
Speaker 2: first impression. Please, This sister relationship feels so real to me.
4:07
Speaker 2: I don't have a sister, so maybe I don't know
4:09
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about, but to me, it's clear. They
4:13
Speaker 2: paint the picture that they have a lifelong relationship, that
4:17
Speaker 2: they have a deep amount of love for each other
4:21
Speaker 2: even when they're fighting. I saw some negative reviews of
4:24
Speaker 2: this movie, and I am fired up because I think
4:27
Speaker 2: people are missing the point. It is at times frustrating
4:31
Speaker 2: to watch the women communicate with each other because they're
4:36
Speaker 2: behaving in frustrating ways. However that's intentional. They hate each
4:41
Speaker 2: other where it hurts, Yeah, because they need someone to
4:44
Speaker 2: say the hard things. Yeah, humans are flawed. They both
4:48
Speaker 2: have changes they need to make. They both need to stretch,
4:51
Speaker 2: and these things are painful to do. Exclamation point, exclamation point,
4:56
Speaker 2: exclamation point.
4:57
Speaker 1: I agree with you. I absolutely agree with you. I'm
5:00
Speaker 1: fired up to you. I've seen some negative things. I'll
5:02
Speaker 1: just say that I've seen some negative things. Why, Okay, whatever,
5:06
Speaker 1: I agree. The sister storyline was fantastic. Faith and Kelly's
5:12
Speaker 1: arc like it. I have a sister. We have a
5:15
Speaker 1: very big age gap. Yeah, we don't have this kind
5:17
Speaker 1: of relationship, like we don't have you grew up bickering
5:21
Speaker 1: with each other kind of relationship. It got me like
5:23
Speaker 1: right in the feelings.
5:24
Speaker 2: Like I it was very well written, and to be honest,
5:29
Speaker 2: I thought the writer was a female, so same, I'm
5:32
Speaker 2: shocked how well it was done, you know. I actually
5:36
Speaker 2: because I was watching and taking notes for so many movies.
5:39
Speaker 2: In my mind, I thought it was Tracy Andren who
5:42
Speaker 2: had written this movie, who wrote another movie I was
5:44
Speaker 2: watching the same day, and so I was like, oh, yeah,
5:47
Speaker 2: of course, like Tracy Andrene is so great, She's a
5:49
Speaker 2: master and my I originally like wrote my notes. I
5:52
Speaker 2: was like, does Tracy Andrene have a sister? And then
5:54
Speaker 2: I had to go back and rewrite. I was like, oh, interesting,
5:58
Speaker 2: very well.
6:00
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what else I liked. I love
6:02
Speaker 1: the quest that their grandma left behind. It's fun on
6:06
Speaker 1: the surface, but it was designed to push the sisters
6:12
Speaker 1: out of their like comfortable boxes. That's what I really
6:15
Speaker 1: related to. There was a part in this movie where
6:18
Speaker 1: it dawns on me like, oh, Faith runs away from
6:22
Speaker 1: things and Kelly is too scared to start things. And
6:25
Speaker 1: I found that very painfully relatable. Sure, I cried more
6:30
Speaker 1: than once watching this movie because I saw myself in
6:34
Speaker 1: these characters. You know when they have a conversation at
6:37
Speaker 1: one point and Faith says to Kelly, I love you
6:39
Speaker 1: so much, but literally everything is outside of your comfort
6:42
Speaker 1: zone and that felt like being punched in the gut.
6:45
Speaker 1: And Kelly says back to her, you live out of
6:47
Speaker 1: a suitcase and call it free spirited. You just keep
6:50
Speaker 1: moving around so you don't have to feel anything. And
6:53
Speaker 1: Ashley as Faith is like, hey, like, yeah, she hit
6:57
Speaker 1: her where it hurts. Yeah, that's such great writing right there.
7:02
Speaker 1: Like these two sisters are punching below the belt totally.
7:05
Speaker 1: And I to your point, the quest was fun and
7:09
Speaker 1: the quest had one purpose like let me take you
7:12
Speaker 1: on the quest to revisit these places that were important
7:14
Speaker 1: to your grandfather and I as a way to reconnect,
7:18
Speaker 1: but that it had a purpose not only for the
7:21
Speaker 1: sisters but for Frederick as well. Really nicely done to
7:25
Speaker 1: have those layers in the trip. I think so too.
7:27
Speaker 1: I think so too. What did you think about Ashley
7:30
Speaker 1: and Lacey cast as sisters.
7:32
Speaker 2: I thought they were believable. I loved them as sisters.
7:35
Speaker 2: I thought they had such great chemistry together.
7:37
Speaker 1: You know what's funny. Remember when we talked to Ashley Williams.
7:41
Speaker 1: It was earlier this year, right in January.
7:44
Speaker 2: It was January, yeah, because we or early February, we
7:47
Speaker 2: were talking about her dating show.
7:50
Speaker 1: And I don't remember if we asked her officially or not,
7:53
Speaker 1: but we were asking if she was going to do
7:55
Speaker 1: another movie with her sister, and she's like, oh, we're
7:57
Speaker 1: trying to work on something. And I thought, oh, wonder
8:00
Speaker 1: if this was supposed to be it? No, maybe, I mean,
8:04
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I thought Lacey did a great job
8:06
Speaker 1: as her sister too. So that was just a side
8:10
Speaker 1: note from our conversation that we had had with her.
8:13
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I had a personal epiphany while
8:15
Speaker 1: watching this movie. Yeah, and you know we both are
8:21
Speaker 1: like such Ashley Williams super fans, huge, huge, Like I've
8:25
Speaker 1: loved her. Jingle Bell Run we talked about last year
8:28
Speaker 1: was like my favorite movie, right, and we have talked
8:32
Speaker 1: about her this year quite a bit. We interviewed her
8:36
Speaker 1: earlier this year. She's so damn likable and I just like.
8:41
Speaker 2: Her more and more every single time I see her.
8:43
Speaker 1: Same. The epiphany that I had was She's just so
8:49
Speaker 1: naturally fun and light and she laughs at things and
8:54
Speaker 1: things are funny and I don't naturally have those things
8:59
Speaker 1: nop me either, And I think that's what I find
9:02
Speaker 1: so likable about her, And like, I'm ready to fight
9:06
Speaker 1: anybody who has.
9:06
Speaker 2: Somebody something negative to say about her. Yeah, yeah, I
9:10
Speaker 2: think she's such a bright light. And you're right when
9:14
Speaker 2: I see social media clips of her or videos of her,
9:17
Speaker 2: she's just always having a good time. Yeah, she's humans.
9:21
Speaker 2: I'm sure she has bad days. I'm sure she's not
9:23
Speaker 2: always at a ten, but I feel like she comes
9:26
Speaker 2: at the world from such a genuine, joy filled place,
9:29
Speaker 2: from a place of positivity. I just really like her,
9:33
Speaker 2: And yeah, I am an Ashley Williams defender till the end.
9:37
Speaker 1: I'm like, she's somebody I want to go out with
9:39
Speaker 1: because she's gonna like turn things up, you know what
9:43
Speaker 1: I mean, Whereas like I might at a level two
9:45
Speaker 1: all the time and I would like to be at eight,
9:50
Speaker 1: but I need a ten to get me there, you know.
9:54
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, my brain just was like, are we having
9:58
Speaker 2: a parasocial relationship with Ashley Willis? And maybe maybe, but
10:02
Speaker 2: not in a way you should be afraid of Ashley.
10:05
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, no no no.
10:07
Speaker 2: Just so she's so likable. She is so likable. I'm
10:11
Speaker 2: gonna start a fan club. I think this movie did
10:15
Speaker 2: a nice job of balancing the seriousness with the comedy,
10:18
Speaker 2: especially up top. It's real comedic up top, the way
10:21
Speaker 2: Ashley talks to her teeth to say, wow, he's even
10:24
Speaker 2: not her in person. I really wound it to rewatch
10:27
Speaker 2: her do that again. It's great, Kelly says, I prefer
10:30
Speaker 2: to stay at a steady level of anxiety when I travel.
10:34
Speaker 2: You and me both sisters. Yeah, relatable. Actually says by
10:37
Speaker 2: the way that Onesie is a walking jump scare. Loved
10:40
Speaker 2: that line. And also, are you having a Bridget Jones moment?
10:43
Speaker 2: Some great dialogue? Yeah?
10:45
Speaker 1: All good. There's one line later I'm gonna talk about it, and
10:47
Speaker 1: I digit see that that I really liked. But you
10:50
Speaker 1: know what, I you know what I liked about this.
10:52
Speaker 1: This wasn't trying to be like a traditional Christmas movie.
10:56
Speaker 1: It takes place at Christmas time, it's not drowning in
11:00
Speaker 1: like it's a Christmas story. You know. I was drawn
11:04
Speaker 1: to that. Yes, like I like when we have some
11:06
Speaker 1: of these movies sprinkled and through the season. That isn't
11:09
Speaker 1: like this is a Christmas movie, you know. I liked it.
11:13
Speaker 1: And the scenery stunning.
11:17
Speaker 2: The scenery was stunning. The French Alps. Look, my kid's
11:20
Speaker 2: studying abroad next year and one of his options with Switzerland,
11:24
Speaker 2: and he chose not to go there. The school has
11:29
Speaker 2: a view of the French, Italian and Swiss Alps, and
11:31
Speaker 2: I will never understand. I'm like, why why would you
11:34
Speaker 2: not go to school here? Now he's not a forty
11:36
Speaker 2: six year old woman, so that's probably why he chose
11:39
Speaker 2: not to go to school there. But I was watching this,
11:41
Speaker 2: I was like, man, we could have we could have
11:43
Speaker 2: been there. Yeah, we could still go there. But I
11:46
Speaker 2: have one more like, yeah, tell me it's the opening
11:48
Speaker 2: credits home video. Oh good, it's really well done. And
11:53
Speaker 2: the attention to detail as it changes through the years.
11:57
Speaker 2: First of all, the date is in the bottom right
11:58
Speaker 2: hand corner, which is great because it marks the time,
12:01
Speaker 2: but also the style of video changes through the year,
12:05
Speaker 2: so it's like from cham order yes, a little grainy
12:08
Speaker 2: right yes. And then like the way the letters are written,
12:11
Speaker 2: and then on the final screen it says like four
12:13
Speaker 2: k up at the tip top right.
12:14
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
12:15
Speaker 2: So just the way that it changes over time, just
12:17
Speaker 2: those tiny little details. I actually watched the beginning of
12:20
Speaker 2: this movie twice because I started it and then restarted it,
12:22
Speaker 2: and I didn't notice that the first time, and I
12:24
Speaker 2: did the second time. And I liked those attention to details.
12:27
Speaker 2: Miss Lucy Guests.
12:29
Speaker 1: Lucy Guest does and get talked about enough.
12:32
Speaker 2: I love her. When you look at what she's done,
12:34
Speaker 2: I'm like, she she's another one who I think would
12:37
Speaker 2: be a good time. Oh yeah, I think she's a
12:42
Speaker 2: good time.
12:42
Speaker 1: Well, maybe like they need to invite us out. Let's
12:48
Speaker 1: get together, guys.
12:50
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I think Ashley is southern California.
12:52
Speaker 1: Bas oh, I mean we're uh, you can reach us,
12:55
Speaker 1: sick girls, Gone Hallmark at gmail dot com.
12:58
Speaker 2: Let's talk wishes.
12:59
Speaker 1: I needed the mountain climbing stuff to be a little
13:01
Speaker 1: bit more believable, and here is why.
13:03
Speaker 2: Interesting. No, I look, I thought the snowstorm was well done.
13:07
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no, I believe all that stuff, Like
13:11
Speaker 1: I think they were out in real weather like that.
13:15
Speaker 1: But the scene where it was like the wind is blowing,
13:18
Speaker 1: they have nothing on their faces to protect their faces.
13:22
Speaker 1: All I could think about. Was that Finding Mister Christmas
13:24
Speaker 1: scene where like Davy had those big, huge like goggles on.
13:28
Speaker 1: I'm like, that's what they needed in this scene. Uh,
13:31
Speaker 1: there's no way you would be out in that frigid
13:34
Speaker 1: weather with no face protection on.
13:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it looks like real weather, right, It didn't
13:40
Speaker 2: look like Sophie snow blowing all over. But their faces
13:44
Speaker 2: weren't like bright red like they were being wind blown.
13:46
Speaker 1: There was one point where I did notice like Ashley
13:49
Speaker 1: had like a red nose.
13:50
Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, they are cold, yes, but that looks
13:54
Speaker 2: like there's no way they were out in like a
13:57
Speaker 2: storm like that though. That would have been dangerous, Like
13:59
Speaker 2: how do you guarante there's going to be a storm
14:00
Speaker 2: and there's a storm in your screen?
14:01
Speaker 1: I don't know.
14:02
Speaker 2: I had to have I don't know manufacturing. But it
14:05
Speaker 2: was well done because I wasn't like, Okay, here comes
14:09
Speaker 2: the abominable snowman snow right like that at all?
14:12
Speaker 1: No, And when I talk believable too, I'm like, wouldn't
14:16
Speaker 1: you have had to train for something like this?
14:20
Speaker 2: I looked it up because isn't that like the highest
14:23
Speaker 2: peak in Europe? They said it in the movie.
14:26
Speaker 1: Okay, you know that's not just something you just go
14:29
Speaker 1: do on a random day.
14:30
Speaker 2: Well, but they didn't. They took they took the cable
14:34
Speaker 2: car almost all the way to the top. They didn't
14:36
Speaker 2: like hike all the way up here. Yeah, but yet
14:39
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know how far they were hiking.
14:40
Speaker 2: I don't know the difficulty, but yeah, it seemed even
14:43
Speaker 2: that multitude I think would have been difficult.
14:48
Speaker 1: That's all. That's all I have really for my wishes,
14:50
Speaker 1: except I do have one more. I wish we could
14:53
Speaker 1: have spent a tiniest bit a little bit more time
14:56
Speaker 1: on faith relationship with Ben is that his name?
15:01
Speaker 2: Yeah?
15:01
Speaker 1: Ben? I wanted just a touch more like context, Yes, just.
15:06
Speaker 2: A touch, especially when you get the end where you
15:08
Speaker 2: fast forward to she's pregnant. Yeah, it's like, are we
15:12
Speaker 2: rooting for them? What do we don't only care about faith? Yeah?
15:16
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't didn't know. And you know what,
15:18
Speaker 1: we didn't even talk about Lacy and Frederick, did you
15:24
Speaker 1: that's not their names, Kelly and Frederick. Yeah.
15:27
Speaker 2: I thought that was sweet. I thought it was well done.
15:30
Speaker 2: I thought they start from a place of why don't
15:32
Speaker 2: you come visit me? It was nice. It served a
15:36
Speaker 2: purpose for her to be like stretching outside of her
15:38
Speaker 2: comfort out and doing things that are hard.
15:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, but this story is definitely about the sisters, right, Assistan?
15:43
Speaker 2: Yeah?
15:43
Speaker 1: I agree? Yeah, agree? What were your wishes?
15:45
Speaker 2: Really struggled to come up with anything? And the only
15:48
Speaker 2: thing I have is you mentioned it in your likes.
15:50
Speaker 2: But for me, I do maybe wish the holiday vibes
15:54
Speaker 2: were und up just a tiny git, just a t
15:57
Speaker 2: that's the difference between you and I. I really the
16:00
Speaker 2: thing is, this is like a if I have to
16:02
Speaker 2: wish something, this is what it's going to be. Because
16:05
Speaker 2: is this a Christmas movie? To me? The answer is no,
16:08
Speaker 2: it's a winter movie, which is fine, but we're calling
16:12
Speaker 2: it a holiday movie. Oh we're splitting hairs here. It
16:14
Speaker 2: just was like a light dusting of Christmas than a
16:17
Speaker 2: full snowstorm of it. And it didn't ruin anything for me,
16:20
Speaker 2: but I would have taken more.
16:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's kind of interesting. I was trying to think, like, oh,
16:26
Speaker 1: if I were these characters and we don't really have
16:29
Speaker 1: any family, right.
16:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, would you be willing to be gone for Christmas?
16:33
Speaker 1: Yeah? I would?
16:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, me too.
16:35
Speaker 1: I have no problem with that too.
16:37
Speaker 2: Let's talk. Did you see that. I have a lot.
16:39
Speaker 1: Oh good, Okay, I only have two. One is would
16:43
Speaker 1: you have gone onto that? Like nope, step into the
16:49
Speaker 1: there is okay. Here in Orange County, in Newport Beach,
16:53
Speaker 1: there is a by the library. There is some sort
16:57
Speaker 1: of stare situation where you can do you know where
17:00
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. It's off of MacArthur. It's by the
17:05
Speaker 1: Newport Beach Public Library. But there's like the stair situation
17:08
Speaker 1: with like an overhang like that that goes over a park.
17:13
Speaker 1: I took my daughter to it one time when she
17:15
Speaker 1: was little, and I did have like a slight panic
17:17
Speaker 1: attack where I had to like slowly sit down because
17:20
Speaker 1: I was afraid. There's no way I would have gone
17:25
Speaker 1: on this thing, even though in my mind this is
17:27
Speaker 1: where I would need Ashley Williams level ten to drag
17:30
Speaker 1: me out there.
17:32
Speaker 2: Yes, you know what was very interesting. I watched that
17:35
Speaker 2: scene twice. First of all, I do think Ashley, if
17:38
Speaker 2: you look at their faces, lazy does look apprehensive. Now
17:40
Speaker 2: maybe that's acting. Ashley just looks happy about it, like
17:43
Speaker 2: she doesn't look like she's hiding nerves. She's like this
17:45
Speaker 2: is amazing.
17:46
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
17:46
Speaker 2: And you know, it's like Ashley as Kelly. I think
17:49
Speaker 2: that was good casting Ashley Ashley as Faith. Yeah, I
17:53
Speaker 2: think that was good casting because I think her vibe fits.
17:56
Speaker 2: Kelly's like free spirited. Yeah, find the fun vibe. I
18:00
Speaker 2: also really love that drone pullback that they do. That's
18:03
Speaker 2: a nice shot.
18:04
Speaker 1: Yeah.
18:04
Speaker 2: When we were in New York a couple weeks ago,
18:06
Speaker 2: we went to a place called The Edge, which is
18:08
Speaker 2: just a tall building. I mean, there's a lot of
18:09
Speaker 2: stuff going on in the Edge, but you go to
18:11
Speaker 2: the top. It's a tall building. I think it's better
18:14
Speaker 2: than the Empire State Building MM in terms of the view,
18:18
Speaker 2: not as iconic. But they have a plexiglass floor in
18:24
Speaker 2: the middle of the platform and my daughter went on
18:27
Speaker 2: it and I did not, but she took a picture
18:29
Speaker 2: on it, and I was like, okay, get off.
18:31
Speaker 1: Now do you have to tell your brain like this
18:34
Speaker 1: is safe? They wouldn't. It wouldn't be here if it
18:37
Speaker 1: wasn't safe.
18:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, But then my brain's also like hearing the non
18:41
Speaker 2: existent sound of it cracking. Yeah, like, which I feel
18:45
Speaker 2: like has happened in like horror movies. Oh, I'm sure,
18:48
Speaker 2: what else did you see?
18:49
Speaker 1: There was one line and I don't know it exactly,
18:52
Speaker 1: but Kelly says to Faith, you want me to apologize
18:56
Speaker 1: for my anxiety? Do you remember this? Like Faith was
19:01
Speaker 1: like going in on her about like you're too anxious
19:03
Speaker 1: about this and that, and she's like, I'm not going
19:05
Speaker 1: to apologize for my anxiety or it was something along
19:08
Speaker 1: those lines, and which I just it made me stop
19:11
Speaker 1: in my tracks. I was like, that is such a
19:13
Speaker 1: good line. You know you and I spin out occasionally, right,
19:20
Speaker 1: and we shouldn't have to apologize for it.
19:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's great.
19:23
Speaker 1: Anyway, I thought it was great.
19:24
Speaker 2: In the beginning of the movie, the final scene from
19:28
Speaker 2: the home videos with their grandmother and Grandma's like, oh
19:31
Speaker 2: we forgot Grandpa.
19:33
Speaker 1: Is not the sweetest thing ever.
19:35
Speaker 2: It is the sweetest thing ever. Was there a split
19:38
Speaker 2: second where you thought she's gonna grab his ashes? No,
19:41
Speaker 2: that's what I thought.
19:42
Speaker 1: I didn't. No, I didn't even think about it.
19:44
Speaker 2: But I love that I grabbed his photo.
19:46
Speaker 1: Was sweet. I feel like I've seen that before, like
19:48
Speaker 1: family pictures and then.
19:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah family. Oh yeah, it was sweet. It
19:52
Speaker 2: was very sweet. But for a split second, I was like,
19:54
Speaker 2: can you grab his ashes? When they go to the
19:57
Speaker 2: fromage Shop, the Cheese Shop and tremony. Yes, the font
20:02
Speaker 2: says Fromage in comic sans no. While they're in their
20:08
Speaker 2: small cabin on their final hike, their respite from the storm,
20:12
Speaker 2: they ad r a line that Lacy as Kelly says.
20:17
Speaker 2: What you hear her say is Grandma would rather us
20:20
Speaker 2: be late than hurt. What you see her say is
20:24
Speaker 2: Grandma would rather us be late than dead. Oh really
20:27
Speaker 2: I saw. I was like, that was awkward, and I rewound.
20:30
Speaker 2: And while I can't say for sure, I'm very certain
20:35
Speaker 2: that what she says is dead and not hurt. And
20:37
Speaker 2: someone was like, we're gonna, We're gonna what that is? No,
20:41
Speaker 2: it would not have bothered me. Who's feathers were that
20:43
Speaker 2: of ruffles? I don't know. Finally, at the end of
20:48
Speaker 2: the movie, maybe I have forgotten, but the credits roll
20:52
Speaker 2: over the screen. They roll over the final scene. While
20:57
Speaker 2: there it's the grandmother voice over, and it's the flash forward.
21:02
Speaker 2: It's not a cut to black credits roll. The credits
21:04
Speaker 2: are rolling on the screen.
21:06
Speaker 1: I don't think I noticed.
21:07
Speaker 2: So I need to know, Lucy guest, did this movie
21:10
Speaker 2: run thirty seconds long and you needed that time? And
21:13
Speaker 2: you roll the credits on the screen instead of after
21:16
Speaker 2: that's im her and I ask, is this something that
21:18
Speaker 2: happens all the time? And I just know because I
21:20
Speaker 2: watch a lot of Hallmark and sometimes I'm trying to
21:22
Speaker 2: pull details from the credits and it's always running on
21:25
Speaker 2: a black screen. Yeah, and it's it they run fast, yeah,
21:28
Speaker 2: and so it's almost it's always like a game of
21:31
Speaker 2: pausing it in time to be able to see it.
21:33
Speaker 2: And so I noticed when they were on the screen.
21:35
Speaker 2: We live the same way the video as opposed to
21:39
Speaker 2: just a black screen. Cool, We're fun. What did you
21:45
Speaker 2: rate an Alpine Holiday?
21:46
