• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Let's jump right into Flipping for Christmas with a synopsis.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: All right, it's almost Christmas. When busy realtor Abigail agrees
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: to help her sister with the simple flip of a
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: recently inherited home. Unfortunately, co owner Bo has other plans
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: in mind.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: This does start Ashley Newbrow as Abigail. She has twenty
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: eight acting credits. I was surprised by that number. I
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: would have guessed it was higher. It includes this year's
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Love and Glacier National. She's also in a new installment.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: She's actually in four new installments of The Love Club
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: coming next year.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Look, that's blowing my mind reading this note, because this
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: year's The Love Club.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Movies didn't do that well, not great. Why most of
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: them were direct to Hallmark Movies Now. Why would they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: make four more? In fact, they were on Hallmark Movies Now,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: and then they pulled one after it had already been
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: on that app to air on the network.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they dumped them on like a Tuesday night here,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: and a super random schedule for them. I don't understand
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: why they're making four more unless they're better.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: We'll see, I guess one can only hope. Yeah.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Marcus Rosner plays Bo. He has fifty acting credits. He
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: will also appear with Ashley in another Love Club installment,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: So is he going to be in just one of
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: those movies.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You said, yeah, and he was in one of the originals. Again,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: they're calling it the first season and now we have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: season two.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Gotcha. He's also in another holiday movie this year. It's
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: called Coupled Up for Christmas, streaming on an app called Plex.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know if there's another network that originally aired
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that now it's streaming. But honestly, the poster looks kind of.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Cute you and your posters this year.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: How I mean, it's advertising, it's marketing is working.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Btw One of our awesome Facebook members photoshopped Megan into
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: the Mystic Christmas poster and we get a real good
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: laugh about it in our group. I'm gonna put it
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: on our Instagram because I think it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Is so dang funny.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I think it's real funny.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Natalie Lasinka plays Claire sister Claire. She has sixty six
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: acting credits, including a role in the Prime TV series
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The Lake. She has previously appeared in Hallmark movies Christmas
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: in Angel Falls and Under the Autumn Moon On as
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: plays assistant in Jessica. She has eight acting credits, including
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a Christmas thriller called The Christmas Spirit Man Has the
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Christmas Spirit Stuck in his head. By the way, what
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: channel is that on?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: All right? Ray Galletti plays Antonio. He has sixty four
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: acting credits, including Working Moms, and he last appeared on
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Hallmarks in Season for Love. I don't even remember that movie.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: No, it's been a minute, okay. This movie was written
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: by Brett Hurd. This is Brett Hallmark's debut. He has
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: written a series of short films as well as early
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: in his career he wrote on television shows Originals and
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Life Unjarred.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The director of this movie is Catherine Beryl and this
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: is her first movie directing credit. She has three credits
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: for short films. She's also appeared as an actress in
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: The Good Witch, Winona Irp and Working Moms.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Peter McNeil play's grandfather Edward. He has a whopping two
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: hundred and six acting credits. Hallmark fans will know him
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: from his recurring role on The Good Witch.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Finally, this was filmed in Ontario, Canada, during March and
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: April of twenty twenty three.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to hear your first impression of this movie.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: And before we give it, let me say I had
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: a very strong reaction to this movie. And then the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: community had a very strong reaction to our movie coming
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: later this week, and I was all fired up in
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the background, just wondering what you were going to think.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: So let's hear your first impression.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It's a hallmark of your and yours.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Who leaves a house to two unrelated people. Look, this is.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Not an unfamiliar storyline for homework, though, So I don't
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: understand why you're so upset. It's a dumb one. I'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: give you that.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I know that we've seen this. We saw it in
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: that Vineyard movie and then we saw it again with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the candy shop gets left to two people. Yes. See,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: to me, there's a difference between leaving a business to
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: two people and leaving a home to two unrelated people.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And here's why two unrelated people are not likely, unless
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you're in the Hallmark world, to live in this home together. Sure,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: now you've got a conflict of interests. The only logical
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: solution here is to sell this home. I agree, So
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: it should be the house is to be sold, with
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: the proceeds to be split between these two individuals. I've
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: got so many thoughts. Let's move on.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: If I may, I do think like the person who
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: passes and leaves said home in a will is doing
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: a real injustice to these two people, said it should be.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I want to leave this home to these two people,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: but it must be sold in the proceeds then split. Yes,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: it doesn't make any sense.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: It doesn't. It makes zerus put yourselves into thunderdome and
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: fight to the desk to see who gets to do
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: what they want to do with the home.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: And that is people wanted to live there, what.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I wanted to throw things that said I didn't hate
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: this movie. Let's talk about what we liked about it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I gotta say I didn't hate it either. Good.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: I actually thought it was very middle of the road, enjoyable,
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: and I think it has a lot to do with
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: the actors in it. Yes, not necessarily the story or
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: the characters.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: Yes, because Bose were real pieces.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Totally. But with all that said, I do think the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: plot was full of Hallmark cliches, like from top to bottom,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: and it left me feeling much like my first impression,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: that this was a movie we would have seen during
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: the previous era of Hallmark.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Yes, and mine smarter than ours tell us this was
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: a Hallmark acquisition and it's written by a new writer.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Who's writing that classic mad Libs Hallmark script?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yes, didn't we just talk about that?
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And I personally think I think Megan disagrees with me,
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: but I think that Hallmark was like, yeah, give me
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: any script you've got because we're stocking up because we
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: know impending strikes are happening.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I'd love to see a breakdown of the numbers in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: terms of how many acquisitions they have this year as
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: opposed to years past. We were just discussing this in
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: our Facebook group, and if you'd like to see that discussion,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: join us at Girls Got Hallmark. And the answer for
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: how to determine if something is an acquisition is make
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: an educated guess would say unclear, yes, but this does
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: appear to be an acquisition. And I think that movies
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: like tend to be a little bit more formulaic yeah
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: than some that are directly produced by Hallmark.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Right, And I especially think some of our favorite writers
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: who write for Hallmark specifically are moving beyond those formulas. Anyway,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: go on with what you liked.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Well, As you mentioned, the actors made this movie for me,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: specifically Ashley and Marcus. I think their energy is well
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: matched in this movie. Again, I didn't love Marcus's character.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I thought Bo was a jerk. I thought he was
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: rigid and unwilling to compromise and not seeing the reality
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of the situation. But I thought Marcus was quite pleasant
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to watch on screen. I thought they had some nice interactions.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I think they're a good on screen pairing. I really
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: love Ashley Nurow.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: I really like her too. I think she reminds me
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: of a cross between young Brookshields and young Denise Richards.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Oh a nd percent.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Her eyes are stunning. I really like her as an actor.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I liked her in that National Glacier movie we watched.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: Sure me too.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I would like to see her more. I don't necessarily
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: want to watch a love Club.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Movie, though we might have to if there's gonna be
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: four of them. Oh so. I also, in terms of actors,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: really enjoyed Peter McNeil, who plays grandfather Edward. There's a
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: lot of warmth in his character. I liked the teachable
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: moment he has with Abigail and kind of untangling the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: light and she's carried forward this lesson like you're not
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: done when you're tired, you're done when you're done. Yeah,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: And he's like, yeah, that was a mistake.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: So this is so interesting to me, this secondary storyline
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: between their dad and the loss of their mom, and
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: the dad kind of like living with regret basically of
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: like work was more important than family and the things
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: that he's missed out on, and now that the mom
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: is gone, like him really realizing like how much the mom,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: you know, the magic she created at the holiday time.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I thought was very good. I thought was a very
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: good storyline, and I kind of wish we got more
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, but I really liked that whole scene.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: It just made me as an adult with aging parents,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you know, I found it very relatable.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Yes. The last thing I liked is Regletti is Antonio.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: He is such a quiet villain in this movie. From
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the way he speaks, it's almost like a joke. I
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: liked his villain acting in this moment got it and
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the moment where they get out of the car and
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: he goes already walking or driving, Yeah, that holds the
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: block away and he hops back in the car. I
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: laughed out loud.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: That was funny. This is what I was a little
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: unsure about. She was a realtor.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Who also flips home unclear. Yes, yeah, it's muddy.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: It is right, because I was like, she just lands
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: this big job. She's going to do what for them? Exactly?
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: Sell those units?
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is she an interior designer who's going to make
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: them look nice? Or is she going to handle the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: actual sale?
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Correct?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: It was a little like what's happening here?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: And I did like that.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: At the end, she's like, look, are we're ending this
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like contract between us? How we get there? I didn't
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: really love, but let's let's talk about it.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: It's two separate skills, though you need to be one
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: or the other, both are for jobs.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, my wish list is so long. Okay, starting with
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Abby is not the one who needs to be responsible
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: for solving this problem for her sister. It is her
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: brother in law's great grandfather who has left them the home.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: Her sister on her as if she owes it to her,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: as if it's her responsibility, And is it simply because
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: she's childless that it becomes her responsibility?
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Now? I think it's because she's got dad living with them,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: so she's like, you need to help me out here. Okay,
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: fair enough, two sisters both equally responsible for the care
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: of their aging parent. Fine, the better alternative is Dad
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: lives with me. We don't actually have the space. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: understand that you can't help care for him.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Can you help me out financially?
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: Can you help me sell this home and find us
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: another home since you're a realtor.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: But it's not just sell this home. It's no, no,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: this house, no.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: At home, the home that they currently live in. That's
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: just small.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's a good point, but saying come here, take
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on this job, flip this house while you also have
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a full time job. Yeah, that you're doing on the side.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: And then BO has the audacity to be annoyed with
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: her every time she takes a phone call while she's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: doing this pro bono will work for her sister?
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: No?
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what else I've said it in my first impression.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: If BO cannot afford to buy them out, the only
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: logical solution is to sell. What the hell is wrong
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: with these people?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: He came in so hard that he was entitled to
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: this property, that they were going to make it a
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: bed and breakfast, and leaned hard into it.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: And I hate that the resolution is that it becomes
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: a bend. I know he wins, And part of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: reason I hate is, oh, in two to three months.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: She says, you could be turning a profit. They could
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: be what's the drawt of this small town just because
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you like living here? Who wants to come visit?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Well, her whole pitch on that property was that they
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: were going to build this community center and have fairs
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and all kinds of stuff that would bring tourists to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: their small town. But when just during Christmas time, like
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: all year long, how's that working out?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: It just feels very unfair to her sister, who says
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: to her, we're living paycheck to paycheck. Yeah, we need
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: the money from this sale. And I know they solve
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the problem of Bo's gonna donate his time and labor
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: to the addition. Fine, that's one problem. Who's running the
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: You're hoping who's gonna run the B and B? Nobody
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: says that. Nobody answers that question. Yeah, she's gonna quit
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: her job as a realtor and now run a BMB
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: full time. I guess so they're gonna hire staff with
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: money that they do not have to invest in it.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: The painting scene where they each bring their own paint
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: colors and then paint them in stripes on the wall.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: What the hell is wrong with these people?
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Listen? Okay, he really wanted red walls, right because it's
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: festive two months out of the freaking year.
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I wrote what about it in March.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, let me tell you a quick story. In our
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: old home, my husband and I had pre kids. We
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: had a small little condo. Red was very on trend.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: We oh, we had a red bathroom. We tried. We
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: tried to paint our bathroom read ourselves, working with red
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: paint color, very difficult. We did the walls, it looked awful.
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: I said, let's do the ceiling too.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: We had a little red cave. I would have to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: shut the door because every time I walked by it,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: I felt like the devil lives in there. It was
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: just awful. Then I had to hire a painter to
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: come fix it. I did not like how they ended
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: up painting those walls half and half with a chairry out.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Nope, I hated it dated, so dated and red. No,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: just she was right, you want a neutral color, neutral wall. Yes.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: Can I tell you I absolutely hated that scene when
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: they're trying to make it playful that they're getting paint
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: on each other. If some dude came at me with
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a paint roller, and I don't know if you noticed,
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: got her boob.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: He got her boob.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: That was the first thing. And I was like, are
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: you kidding?
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: My clothes are ruined?
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, what a jerk. He's such a jerk.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: They get paint all over this house that they're supposed
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to be renovating. That's not cute. Neither a smashing cake
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: in my face at our wedding. I think I've complained
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: enough to have anything else.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I sure do. This title of this movie has
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: nothing to do with it. They did not flip shit.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: And was this even a Christmas movie?
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Have we seen a Christmas movie?
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And again I'm going to talk about
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: this later in our next review, but I feel like
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Homemark just got these movies and they're like, let's set
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: it at Christmas time, and that's gonna give us our
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: forty movies this year.
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the movie was already made. It's made and
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: then sold.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're right.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: These producers are like, let's take this script, make it Christmas.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: We're selling a Christma writers are like, hmm, gotta be Christmas.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: Does the here's my script idea. Throw a Christmas tree
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: in the front yard, right, put a Christmas tree in
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: this house? Why? Why are you putting a Christmas tree
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: in a B and B that's not open or a
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: house that you're going to.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Show what Wally Hi, you fully decorated. He's like, I
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: worked all night. So you're telling me this dude worked
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: all night and painted the rest of the interior of
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: the house all by himself and then decorated it. Where
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: did you get those Christmas decorations? And why are you
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: decorating it? Nobody is staying there?
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Who's going to go water that tree?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: I don't understand. Okay, here's my last wish for and
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: it is a diversity check. Oh yeah, not a whole
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: lot of diversity in this movie except for the mayor, yes,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: which don't even get me started. A developer is not
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: paying the mayor for a piece of property. That doesn't work.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Either, and Antonio's assistant. But yes, oh yeah, it's all
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: side characters. Yes, yes, yes, that's it. Did you see that?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Hold on?
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in the very beginning, she's on the phone call
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: on a walking desk. Oh, thank you for reminding me
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the day is so low. Thank you.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you for reminding me. It made me wonder have
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: you used your walking?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I blame the dog. I don't want to talk about it.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: But the answer is I have to spend all of
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: my waking hours downstairs supervising a dog.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you don't get to walk on your but.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: I do walk two miles a day every day.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Thank so.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: Do I know you do?
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: Did you notice when they saw the empty property, there's
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: a sign that says ninety acres for sale. And she goes,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that's gotta be like seventy five acres and he goes,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: actually ninety, and I was. It just was funny because
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: there was a huge sign that said ninety acres.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: Speaking of huge signs, when they go chop down the tree,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: she goes, I'm going to go return the saw and
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: she walks by a sign, giant sign that says saws
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: pointing the opposite direction.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Picture. I took a picture. Thank you so much for
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: reminding me, because I had forgotten all about it. I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: had taken a picture when I was watching it.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: That was funny. My last note.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Here is one we talked about in our Girls Gone
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: Homework Facebook group, and that is would you eat a
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: hot dog with cranberry sauce on it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: No, and I love cranberry sauce. We made last night
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: a full Thanksgiving meal in my house. I made cranberry
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: sauce from scratch. It's not hard, y'all. Anybody can do it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: But no, I would not, And I put cranberry sauce
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: on all of my Thanksgiving foods.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it just sounds.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Gross on a hot disgusting.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Somebody in our group did comment that they had sausage
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: with cranberry sauce, and I was like, I could get
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: down with that, but just like a freaking hot dog
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: and a bun with cranberry sauce on the top sounds
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: so gross to me.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: No, not everything needs to be a Christmas food.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: No.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Speaking of that same scene, there is a like did
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: you see that moment they're walking with their hot dog
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and their hot chocolate again, terrible combination, like awful but
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: real hot chocolate in those cups. Okay, but she's holding
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: her cup and in one moment it's overflowing with harashmellow.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: She shut hands it to him. There's the marshmallows have
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: flattened out as the back it's full again.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know, I just appreciated that there were
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: liquid inside the cups.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, and my last to just see that is there
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: is a balsam hill ad during the commercials in a
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: movie that has fake tree slander.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: Also, people that have fake trees are not lacking Christmas spirit.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: I'm the Christmas seast bitch. You know.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: It's true, says the girl who has Christmas decorations up.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: It is November six. None of my decorations are up.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: We are prepped to put up our decorations outside fully decorated.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: That's because we pay someone to decorate.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: They don't put those deers out.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: We had to test the connections and we are missing
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: a cord.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It's all right, You're the biggest Christmas bitch there is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And we have a fake tree, and you know why
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: because I can have my tree up a lot longer
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: than I can have a real tree up.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: We also have a fake tree. And I was always
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: team like real Christmas tree because I love the smell
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: of it. But Christmas trees, real Christmas trees are expensive, yeah,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: and they die quickly, So we invested in a fake
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: tree buyer.
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Hazard buyers have a good candle.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: I did just buy me a nice smelling tree candle
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: so at Target. No, I bought it at the hairsel.
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Oh look it's a folly spa candle.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. I know what you're talking about.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: I can't think of what it's called.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Though, but oh, Target has a great dupe for.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: That Frasier for the Times candle. Yes they do. Yeah,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: listen to a future episode approved for that.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Al Right.
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: What did you rate Flipping for Christmas?
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I gave it two stars.
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Oh, I gave it three. Three is a real middle
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: of the road rating for me. I honestly thought it.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: Was gonna be so much worse for me the way
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: your reaction was to this movie.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: I find it totally unpleasant to watch after the first
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: twenty minutes, once we got past the oh, it's a beat, Oh,
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: let's flip like once, they were just not really dealing
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: with that so much. I thought it was an Okay,
