  Speaker 1: when we were brand Baby podcasters. Do not go looking
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: for that episode. I'm going to screw ub it on

  Speaker 1: was always you from twenty twenty one. I got to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: tell you that when we mentioned on Instagram that we
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: were doing this, the reviews were either that is my
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: favorite movie that was ever on Hallmark or I hate
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: that movie and want to bring it to the ground.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: So this should be interesting. This should be interesting. Can
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: I get us to show Hans who's who loves this movie?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: All right? We're hate Who's mad about it? Oh yeah?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: All right? All right. Before we jump into our review,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: quick reminder for everyone here and everybody listening. You can

• 1:44

• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Hallmark Facebook. Right, it's called Girls Go One Hallmark. You
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: can find us on Facebook groups. So we're gonna kick
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: it off with a synopsis if it was always you right.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth's engagement plans are thrown into disarray when her fiance's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: free spirited brother, David, returns home with her engagement party
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: looming and a million things to do. David's unexpected influence
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: prompts Elizabeth to question her life's decisions. Sound machine. Yes,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: we practice with clicker and now it's not click clicker
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: is not working brand What did I oh? All right,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: look it's time for our News and Note segment. We're
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: gonna do things a little bit different. We're going to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: uh rapid fire through these here we go. I want
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to say two things about this News and Notes segment,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: and that is there are people who absolutely love this
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: segment of our podcast, so it's never going away. But
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: there's another reason it's never going away, and it's because
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: we're pity. Yes, we are look a long time ago,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and we were really new to this. Someone messages and
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: was like, y'all got to do your homework and we
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: were like okay. And now the news note segment lives
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: on and we will never ever let it go because yes,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: we can take constructive criticism, but we also never ever
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: forget that somebody said that. So just leaning. So we
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: bought up in fourteen news and notes about this movie.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: This movie was directed by Michael Robinson. He's directed A
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Million Things, Unexpected Valentine and an Unexpected Christmas, which is
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: like a weird pairing because they don't seem to be
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: related otherwise, A novel Noel Holiday, Pressure's a ton of things.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not gonna send a word the rest
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: of the show. Obviously, you guys recognize these two. This
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: is Aaron crack Out. Oh my gosh, did I do it?
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: Is it right? I ever got her name right? Craigow
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Craig I butchered it in our original one. I think
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I was like Caracow Craw. I'm like, I'm sorry, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: saw Aaron. Our apologies. Also, and that guy Tyler Hines,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you guys know him, right. Some other notable appearances Giles
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Panton as George, who has had a whopping twenty eight
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: projects since this movie came out four years ago, so
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: you know we're gonna be rough on him, but don't
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: feel too bad for poor Giles Panta. We also have
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Nelson Wong as Eugene, Caitlin Striker as Abby, Elissa Rodari
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: as Louise, and Francis Flanagan as Diana. Something I had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: completely forgotten is this is based on a book Today
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Is Not Your Day by Marion Thurm. So if you
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: either want to love or be really not at a story,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: maybe you want to check that out. The teleplay is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: by Kathy Cloves. Look, this is really surprising to me.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: When I went back to look at this, I was like,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: surely this is going to be a writer that we've
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: heard a million times over the past several years of
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: doing this podcast. I mean no disrespect to her, but
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: she only has five total writing credits. The Christmas Promise
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: and Love at First Glance are her other two Hollwark projects,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: So that was kind of a surprise to me. I
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: was like, it's gonna be one of the names. It
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: was not one of the names. Since this is a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: re record. He pulled some quotes from our very first
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: episode reviewing, and we just want you to give a
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: quick guess about who might have said it. So up
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: first this one, I'm gonna s word all over. I mean,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: is it me or is it the not so former hallmarketer?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: At this point do we have a guess? I mean,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: it's kind of it's obviously it was me. Yeah, gimme yeah,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And she did, all right. I wanted to feel some
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: conflict about her falling for someone else. So do we think, Yeah,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I really hate the I'm leaving my husband because I'm
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: actually more in love with other person trope. Even though
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna defend it here, but I was a little
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: bit like, I mean, it's Tyler and Aaron. It's kind
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: of hard to not defend it a little bit, all right,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: final quote, My goodness, Tyler Hines like that. Dude's just
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: down right attractive. Who said it? Said it? Y'all, it's
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a trick question. Do you know who said that? It
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: was actually Panda? I think you're right, he speaks for
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: all of us. All right, it is time for first impressions. Whnny,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: what's your first impression? Second time around? Of it was
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: always you. Well, it turns out all it takes is
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Tyler Hines to unrival your entire life plan. I did
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: skip one of our quotes. That's okay, because the only
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: reason I go back to it is because my first
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: impression reference is that we said this in the episode
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we were y'all. It's so embarrassing if you really sto
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: that episode, the way we fall all over ourselves over
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Tyler Hines. I said, are we Heine's you guys? This
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: was early on, this was the origin story. Is I
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: kind of dogged on Tyler Hines a lot when I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: started this, and I've come to love him, like, I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: really like him a lot, and so, but it was
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: this movie that I was like, oh my god, I
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: think I'm turning into a Heinie. Yeah. In this episode,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Wendy famously we're, you know, running down the Tyler faxxson.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: She goes, is he married? And my response is, I
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: don't know, but we are all right back to first impressions,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: mine is to answer our own question. I guess we
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: are Heine's because I'm willing to forgive us straight up
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: emotional up there. All right, let's talk about what we
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: liked about this movie Wendy Well on second rewatch my notes.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I'm a little bit embarrassed. It is
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I wrote down Tyler Hines Golden Delicious Apple. I want
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to take a bite out of Wait the first time, No,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: this is time. Oh that looks good. I mean, you know,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I'm sil regarding There's some funny story. And Meg and
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: I were on the Hallmark Cruise last year and Tyler
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was there and I really wanted to meet him in person.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: But I got elbowed in the head by a lady
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: who was maybe thirty years older than I was, and
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I was like, I'm out, I can't do it. I'm
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: not gonna fight over this man. They were throwing elbows.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: They were throwing elbows, and Meghan did get in, so
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm a quitter. I'm not a quitter. Look,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: I was in Christmas Jammy's on the Hallmark Cruise and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I was getting that photo. It's blurry because people were pushing,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: but I got the photo Golden Delicious Apple. Well. Look,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: my first like is along the same lines. And in
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: our first review, as mentioned, we did kind of fall
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: all over ourselves at our adoration of Tyler Hans and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it again. He is at peak charming
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: in this movie, like this is the peak. It's it's wild.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: It's zero percent surprising watching this that he had Lizzie
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: willing to dump George on the side of the road.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, guy me. Yeah. I think he walks this
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: line between snarky because he can kind of be like
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: a you know, he pokes the bear a little bit,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: which I'm into, but he's swoony like a pro. Yeah. Yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: this is this is why they brought us onto the network,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: because they needed more women to fall all over these dudes.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: This is his sorely lacking on deck the Hallmark except
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: when pandas around. Apparently, look, Aaron and Tyler are a
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: match made in Hallmark Heaven. In my opinion, we do
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: have them reuniting in a movie this year. Do we
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: know that Christmas Above the Clouds a Peter Benson directed
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: movie I'm Super Excited shot largely or entirely or partly
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: in an airplane, And oddly with the timing of this episode,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: they're also like teasing like, oh, we're open to the
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: idea of and it was always you follow up, I'm
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: not into it, No, I don't. I don't like seq
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: we don't need it. No, I don't like sequel, she says.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: In a year, we're heading into so many sequels. It's
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be a rough here. Yeah. Hey, for me, the
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: heart of the story is thanks Mom. The heart of
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: story here is Elizabeth realizing that she is not living
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the life she wants to live. And I like movies
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: that are like that where they we get some rom calm.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: But there's this big epiphany and I was into it
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: this second time around. Yeah, she realizes who she is. Yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: you didn't like that. I didn't. You didn't like it
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: at the expense of George. I didn't not like it.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: I just didn't focus on it. Usually I do, But man,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I was just like, these still were so cute to
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: go just we're so charmed, weren't you? I really want Okay?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: What else did you like? The fake Bachelor scene while
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: they reading popcorn? I mean, okay, I got some rapid
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: fire small likes. First up, the look that David asked
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Tyler gives Lizzie in the ice cream shop when she's
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: making her completely wild ice cream order. It's this, like,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: are you kidding me? It's my favorite it's like it's
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: even my husband laughed up at the party. When they
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: realize that someone has spilled the beans about the surprise party,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Louise immediately assumes it's I'm wrong. David takes credit for it,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and Louise goes, David, how you and his response is,
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I'm a terrible person. What do you want from me?
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Tyler has this ability to throw away a line. It's
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: one of the things he does best. I it laughed
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: out loud. Have a question for you, Yeah, do you
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: think do you think Tyler is just being Tyler? I
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: don't you know him? Don't you brand? Okay? Do you
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: know him? Oh? Hi hi hi quote golden Delicious apple? Okay?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Is is that like how he is in just real life?
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Just he's just just Tyler? So he's he's being himself
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: when he's acting interests, so no one stands a chance, basically,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: is what you're saying. He does the same thing with
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: the line not the time Joe when the DJ tries
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: to solicit a deposit from Lizzie after their peaked emotional
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: moment slow dancing in the garage. Final small funny moment
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: when Lizzie scans Tyler. They're registering she's the best, and
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: then she scans Tyler like it's so good. It's also
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: so bad because she's registering for a wedding to another man,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: but it's so good. I loved it. I lolled actually
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: when I was watching it. I thought that was real
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: good what I was doing. I like the grandma she
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, she doesn't mince words here at all. She
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: thinks George is an income mooove, if I recall. But
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: then she gives that really great story about the zing
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: and we're going to talk more about it, but you
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: know that special spark between people, and she tells about
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: how she was dating a guy that everybody thought was
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: perfect for her, the right cleaner, but they didn't have
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: that zing. So yeah, I think they do a really
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: nice job setting up all of the reasons why Elizabeth
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: and George should not get married. Now, don't worry. I
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: do agree she should have broken it off with them
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: way earlier than this. But they do give you a
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: lot of compelling reasons why these two should not end
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: up together. I have one final, like real smart move
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: on their part to make Lizzie go away for a
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: year find yourself. Then she comes back, they have their
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: zing moment, and the most boring dentist in the world
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: and his hygienist, who he was obviously in love with
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: from the very first moment of this movie, are already together,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: so you feel really great about them having that moment together.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: But let's talk about our wishes. So if you're not
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: familiar with the show, the wishes categories are nice way
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: of saying of the stuff we didn't like about this movie.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna like a little bit. Yeah, i'mn'a let you
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: run with it because I know you have a whole bunch. Okay, well,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: oh I got a lot. Are you ready? I'm ready?
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: And I'm actually gonna hold off on the main main
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: complaint here because I think we need to talk about
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the timeline. It's two months before their wedding and they're
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: just having an engagement party. What is happening. They haven't registered,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: they haven't planned a honeymoon, they're flying home for an
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: engagement party. It makes no sense. It makes no s sense.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: You are obviously not planning to get married to each other. Also,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth is the worst secret keeper ever. She has a
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: typed out itinerary of the weekend in the biggest letters
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: ever written. Mom's surprise. Don't look at this so dumb
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: hands it to the mother? What are you? No? Worst? Yeah?
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: I agree? You know, for me, Elizabeth, she's a hard
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: sell because she's so rigid. I had a hard time Rudy,
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: you are Elizabeth one hundred percent? Would you order? You
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: don't even eat ice cream? So would you order ice
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: cream like that? I mean I've ordered, I've had some
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: odd orders. No, I wouldn't order ice cream like that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: because my biggest fear in life is inconveniencing somebody. Sure,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: so I'd be like, I will eat the food that
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: will poison me if I have to. You're funny. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: hard to root for her when she's so type hay. Yeah,
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: like when she blows up in him when he's I
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: mean him blasting music in the middle of the night
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: is not super cool, but she fully loses it. She
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: means business. Yeah, loved it. Relatable. All right, let's talk
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: about the elephant in the room. I need to tell
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: you that we have a listener of our show, listener Paula,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: who has so many times begged us to revisit this movie,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: and she's like, you're gonna see it through different eyes.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Our memory of it was like she leaves her fiance,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: that's not that great. She's like, please rewatch it. George
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is not that great. Okay. I think this is a
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: real case of two things can be true. Okay, George
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: is not that great. He's boring, but she is engaged
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: to him. Okay, so he is a total wet blanket
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: as am I. We're gonna get into it. But he
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: also doesn't deserve Elizabeth getting so deep with David, like
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: having the it's an emotional affair, like they are dating
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: each other. They're on the couch eating p watching The Bachelor,
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: show me the man that Well, look, my husband got
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: in deep with Love Island with me this season, so
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: I guess there's but that's dating behavior. Okay. But like
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: every one of my points against their affair has a counterpoint,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Like George should know she's not really in love with
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: him because the way she says he is blaming this
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: on George. Listen to me, we're gonna fight. No, I'm
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: not blaming it on George.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, does George want to realize the way
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: she says his name, it's like she's talking to adult Okay, George,
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: whatever you want, George.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: It's like she's talking to like the annoying next door
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: neighbor who's like, you left your trash cans out an
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: extra hour and they're like, okay, George. That's how she
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: talks to him. Okay, but it's not his fault. I
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: didn't say it's his well, okay, wait didn't. She has
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: definitely got eyes for David, but there is obviously something
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: going on with him, and the hygienis to George, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: the hygienis yes. But when Lizzie recognizes that this is
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: not the relationship she wants to be and she needs
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: to end, it goes on way to Whiche's fault. I'm
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: trying to have a conversation here, all right, No, it's
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: not George's fault. I agree with you. There's also a
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: scene though they're at the house together and they both
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: they walk into the room from separate angles, and she
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: sees George and she flinches. It's real quick, but it's
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: like very telling about like how much she hates this man.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, that the brother is hotter than
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: the dude she's engaged to. Well, objectively, he is also
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: one more bad thing. George calls her she's out with David,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and she declines his call and David tells her to
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: do it. Like David is not you know, David? Is
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it oor? Okay? Question, I hear he's trash. Question. Are
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you assigning equal blame here? Or is Elizabeth Moore at
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: blame because she is the one who is engaged between
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: David and and Lizzie? Yeah? Uh, they're both equal? Yeah? Okay, wait,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: I'm hearing who thinks it's equal? Loudly? Who thinks Lizzie's
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: more to blame? It's like a smaller but louder crowd
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: that thinks Lizzie's more to blame? If if if David,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: that's that's it. He's the brother, right, if he was
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: not the brother, if he's a random dude, I feel
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: like it's like ten percent blame or zero, right, Like
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: what does he have? But it's his brother? Okay, I'm not.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't actually it's all bad. I don't
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: actually care who's they? What he knows? Oh, don't put
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: that in the text? Brand, Brand, do you have any
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: more wishes? Just like want to just talk about Louise
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: and Eugene? Is that his name the mailman. You know.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So this is a classic Hallmark b storyline here, which
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, I don't care about these people, but
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: obviously we have to give me more Tyler. Yeah, that's
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: exactly what I was saying. Can we have more Tyler?
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: But of course we need it because we need to
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: get Lizzie back to their home at the end for
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: their wedding. Yeah. Yeah, it just was boring, I thought, Yeah,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just filler. It's fine, right, that's all
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: all right, it's time for digit see that now. In
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: this portion of our episode, we talk like true like bloopers,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: but it's also just like stuff we want to talk about.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about that dog. The dog.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: Where did the dog go? Is my number one? Did
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: you see that? Now? You can see here there's a shot.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: You got a picture. You don't got a picture illegally
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: taking a photo of my television because you cannot screenshot.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: When David and Lizzie go run wedding errands, she's like,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you stay in the car, and he does not listen.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: So he gets out of the car with Tilly and
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: he walks, he walks the dog. He's like, we're gonna
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: We're gonna go meet up with him. We never see
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: the dog again. In the next scene, he's inside the bakery,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: they go register, they drive home. We even have a
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: shot of them driving in the car without the dog.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Did he drop her off at the pound? Tyler would
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: never he his trash? Where did Tilly go? Did they
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: lose their their dog handler? They're required on set? Did
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: did Tilly max out her hours? Max stops time her out?
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. But where'd she go? I don't know
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: if it's a she, where'd they go? Okay? I have
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: one when they're in the oyster pie place and she's
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: finally served her piece of pie. It's on a real plate,
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: but it's served with a wooden spork, And I know
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: this isn't like things that you would typically pick up,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: but I was like, that's so random. But this was
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: during COVID protocol, and I was like, is that why?
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Because she eats the pie in the scene? Right, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: they just have disposable flatware and allowed to use regular
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: flatware during that time, Russians haven't brought out real menu,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: so I don't know, you haven't you served me pie
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: with a wooden spork? I'm leaving, oh oh, that we
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: also sensory thing, all right. I am ninety nine point
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: nine percent certain that this set that is Lizzie's apartment
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and the set that is the home store are the
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: same place. It was hard to catch an image. I
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: believe it in my heart to be true. And when
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: you look at the she's only in hen apartment in
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the very beginning in the movie, it's the greenery in
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: her apartment is like huge floral arrangements everywhere you turn.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: It's a little shocking for like just a single woman.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, the floral budget would have been huge. And
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: then they've got those iron windows. Hard to tell here,
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: I'm a chandelier in her apartment like that, or that's
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: the homes her apartment shots are real tight. It's like
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: real tight on her, real tight on her friend. So
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: it's hard to make it out. But and it's like
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: shot at different angles. You know, got it? But I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: believe that to be true. Got it? Who has a
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: rabbit foot anymore? I definitely did, as you don't have
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: a rabbit foot like growing up? I mean I'm old,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: so I know I had one too, But like gross,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: it is kind of gross when you think about it.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: It's super gross anyway, just random yes, nails at blas
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: kind an orange one. Look, I feel like we need
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: to add the popcorn eating scenes to the Tyler Hines
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Toothpick candy Cane Hall of Fame, Like, does every Tyler
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Hines movie need to feature like an iconic I am
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: talking with food in my mouth moment in a way
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: that is somehow not off putting. I feel like that
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: might be the origin story of the toothpick candy cane.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: It was like, did somebody just make me go m
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: I think it was a shared experience. All right, Look,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: we're gonna jump to our next fipe, which is brand new,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: specific just to this movie. It's called so Relatable. Hold On,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: hold on, Sorry, no, my ball, as mentioned, George is
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: a wet blanket. But you know what, so am I
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: because we're gonna lighten things up with a list of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: moments where I felt seen in this movie and George
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: as man, Wait a minute, you relate to George? Are
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: you No, you're Lizzy? You told me you were Lizzy earlier. Okay,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: go ahead. It's like she doesn't pay attention. I don't
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: go ahead. I am both of them. Look It's not
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: just that George is a bud buzzkill. George is not
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: completely in the wrong because a six week honeymoon is outrageous.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: You're jealous. Who can who has six meets? I haven't
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: moon budget. Dentists, thank you, thank you, but they can
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: take six weeks off without getting paid. It seemed like
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: their practice was like me and getting all right, Maybe
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: I am jealous. I don't have six week honeymoon budget.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: So I also don't want to go on vacation for
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: six weeks. You don't want to be with your husband
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: for six weeks? I don't do I. So it's okay.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be I like my house. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: like my own house and my own bed and my
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: own shower. That's all I like home. Elizabeth at one
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: point says I love a schedule meeting. Tell me about it.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: She also says I don't like rule breakers me too.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: I mean rough take for her. You took pictures this girl.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: What is this called? I don't tell anybody. It's not plagiarism.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: What is this called copyright? Nobody's gonna see it with
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: the people in this room. Okay, uh, that's right. As mentioned,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Elizabeth pops out her mouthguard or her retainer in the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: middle of the night when she wakes up. I mean,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: as a girl who lives and die but dies by
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: her mouth guard. Relatable like can you do anything until
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: you get that? Although we didn't get the uh saliva string?
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if you guys missed that earlier, Yeah, thank
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: you for that visual. I mean, I don't think it's
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: possible to do it without it. The oyster restaurant that
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: George can't stand because it's so annoying. It is annoying.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: That bell ringing constantly. That's annoying. It's fun. Look, first
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: of all, that restaurant has entirely too many rules to
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: be fun. Do not tell me what I can and
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: says the girl who likes rules. What is happening here? Yes?
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I contain multitudes. Look, if you serve, don't make me
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: like complete a quest in order to order pie. Finally,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: I love George's line when she suggests, perhaps ziplining. Do
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: you know how many people die? Oh own ziplines? Neither,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but it's probably a lot. I love it. He's like, mat,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: maybe it's not fatal, but I don't care. People probably
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: die a lot. Love it. Love it Megan, all right,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about her next segment. Yes I do. We're
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: gonna play games called zing or nosing, so we need
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: your help. Brand. All right, Look, we're gonna show you
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: some classic Hallmark couplings and we want to hear from you.

• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Britney so fun. All right, are you ready to rate
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: this movie? I am for the second time. I gave
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: it the first time. It wouldn't even matter because we
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: changed our rating system halfway, so it's it's completely irrelevant.
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: All right. I gave it three and a half stars.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: I think there's better and I think that movie is
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: called Blind Day book Club. What? Wow? You think Blind
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: Day book Club is better than it was? Always you? Yes,
• 29:13
