  Speaker 1: out Hallmark Plus on Instagram, they're always dropping promos and
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: they have one that's a full year for fifty percent off,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: which would get you obviously all the way through Camptown
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: to Christmas. So good idea, something to consider. We are

  Speaker 1: not getting paid by them, but no, just a suggestion.

• 1:22

• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and I was with my daughter and she goes, Hey,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: there's your guy from Hallmark who was in the window.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: Tyler Hines.

• 1:43
  Speaker 1: hot minute. Yeah, it's a gaf dude these days. Yeah, husband,

  Speaker 1: Notes segment either. Okay, are you ready for a sa
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: SYS for Episode two of Paris is always a good idea,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: I am. Chelsea begins her journey to reconnect to her
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: past and to find Colin, a sheep farmer in Ireland.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Annabel accompanies her, and Knightly grows curious. Lazy Shavert stars
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: as Chelsea. No production needed, obviously. When is her Disney movie? Oh,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: we don't have a date on the Disney Christmas movie yet, Dewey, Nope,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: probably mid September.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: We'll get all those dates.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Oh, I thought you were going to say it comes
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: out mid September. I was like, what what? What? Not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Like I haven't done this for the last six years.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Scott Michael Foster co stars as Jason Knightley, best known
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: for his roles on Greek, Chasing Life and Crazy Ex Girlfriend.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: We last saw him on Hallmark. In Return to Office,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Rebecca Hansen stars as sister Annabel. She has a long
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: list of acting credits and voice work, but this appears
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to be her first Hallmark project. Oh my god, welcome
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: to the network. I love her, Love love love like
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: big heart eye emojis, love her. Stephen Hagen returns to
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Hallmark as Colin. He starred in last year's Love of
• 3:13

• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Royal Christmas. Hey. Sean Connor appears as barkeep Decklan. He's
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: another first time around Hallmark, but has a growing list
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: of acting credits. Hey, Wendy, what was your first impression
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: of Colin revisited? Turns out the one who got away
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: got married. My first impression is I'm stealing Annabel's People
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: who know directions are wizards. As my new Real Housewives tagline,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: this is oh your Housewives life though, That's hilarious. That
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is hilarious. That's why I love Annabelle. They give her
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: some really great lines. Yes, yeah, love her, love her.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Remind the listeners how our episodes for this show are
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a little bit different than our movie reviews for this show,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: much like The Way Home. If you're a listener of
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: those episodes, We're going to run down the major plot
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: points in this episode, discuss our thoughts on them, some predictions.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Towards the end of the episode, we are going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: share some thoughts on the differences between the book and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the series. So far, several people in our Facebook group
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: and Instagram have been talking about their thoughts on what
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they think is going to be different, and we're going
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: to talk about that at the end. I'm very curious
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: for those of you that read the book before watching
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the series your thoughts on the changes. So let's start
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this episode where the episode starts. We're back in the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Bridal suite. Yes, now, I want to ask you a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: question that seems obvious to me, but I want to
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: make sure it's obvious to YouTube. They're intentionally not talking
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: about whose wedding miss is. Yeah, of course, Okay, she's
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: still leaving her voice memo to whomever.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Can't imagine who that could be.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I'm sure if there's people listening who are like, hey, dummies,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it's for that dot dot truly me, I'm like, I
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: have no idea.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Oh you have an idea. I mean, who are the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: two stars? I know?
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: But why would she be leaving nightly a voice memo?
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: In this episode we saw him like running listening to
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: her in his ears, So maybe this is like their
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: kink because her.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Mom did it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Like, yeah, I get that too now, but but still, like,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: who why would she be leaving her husband voice memos
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and not or her boyfriend or potential husband and not
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: her child. It's different, you see though, the mom did
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: leave voice memos for the dad too, so.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It's just a storytelling device.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I get it, But it was I thought it was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a little weird because there was she said, here's some
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: context clues when she was talking into the mic, and
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: honestly can't remember if it was at the top of
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the episode or at the end, because it revisited at
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: the end right in the.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Episode, did it?
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: I think so, but she says I don't think it did,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: but okay it didn't. God, I just watched it last night.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Take a fish oil, Wendy. She's like, now you know
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: about my parents' love story and then how I got
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: to you?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So then is she telling?
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Is she leaving voice memos for her current dude about
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: all her other dudes?
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: That's the one.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Interesting part of this to me, because she uses the line.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: He made me feel weak in the knees.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yes, And I wondered, is that something I would say
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: about a past relationship? Is that something you want to
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: hear about your lover's past relationship? Right? Telling the stories
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: of these past romantic relationships, I would tell them differently
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to my her partner and love of my life than
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: I would to you. Yes, exactly. Yes. So I think
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: that maybe is where I love this series so far.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not dogging on it, but that maybe is where
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: this storytelling device falls apart a little bit, because.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: You know, you're just not gonna tell the same details
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and less surprise me.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: And she's leaving these voice memos for her future child.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I would have to re listen to because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I was getting very much like romantic partner vibes. I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: don't know, but I would have to watch carefully to
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: see if there's there's some crossover. I'm telling you, if
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: the love of my life was like, oh yeah, that
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: person made me weak in the knees, I'd be like.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, right, absolutely, use me you please.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: If you guys have theories, email us hello at Girls
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Gone Hallmark dot com.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I'm dying to know.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: So the other, you know, Annabel comes into the room
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: and she's like, you're not dressed yet. Chelsea asks Annabel
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: to fend off the circus for a little bit longer,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: and Annabel's like, I love love. What's interesting is Annabelle
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like comments about her dress, which to me puts this
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: more in the Sherry's wedding column. Yeah, simply because I
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: feel like Annabel and Sherry's taste would have been so
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: far apart. But Annabel and Chelsea, I mean, Annabel's forty girl, like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: maybe any dress would have been out of her comfort zone. Yeah.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Perhaps, I just don't know. I guess we'll just have
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: to wait.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: Yes, Also, does the bridal seed look like it's in
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: kind of a castle to you?
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't look that closely. What made it look castleine
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to you? There's like brick walls and some of the windows.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know it was it was giving not just
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: the standard hotel suite.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: It could it be Boston. It certainly could be Boston.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Boston's Old.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know about Castle Old, but you know Old.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, you make a good point. Was it Vancouver?
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know where they filmed this?
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Well wait a minute, Oh, I don't know where.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: They filmed like I think the state side scenes and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: that's the words I'm looking for, because they did film
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: it on location, maybe like they were in Ireland, which
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: looks so beautiful, and I have to I have to
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: ask because I know you've been there a bunch of times.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: The weather looks so beautiful during this time. They Yeah,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: that was like gray and rainy all the time. Yeah Old.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: My parents were just there a couple of weeks ago,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: and apparently they, like parts of Ireland, recorded their hottest
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: temperatures on record.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: While they were there.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I think they got luggy and some of these outdoor
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: scenes with the sun because.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Especially because I feel like they.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Were filming this earlier this year, during like the end
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: of winter. Yeah, so maybe even maybe.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Even some was film late fall last year.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: I don't remember, but yes, they are lucky because it's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: typically gray and rainy, and like she was out on
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that cliff side in a tank top. I was like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: how are you not freezing? Right? I know, Well, there's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: a scene like when Colin's shearing sheep. He's very obviously sweaty,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: which not to say that you wouldn't get sweaty if
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: it was cold outside. But Chelsea, actually I notice seemed
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: like a little a little glowy in there as well. Oh,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: like she was warm. I mean it is seventy five
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: degrees in Dublin today, Okay, heiser in the high sixties
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and seventies for the next two weeks, so it's not
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: particularly cold there right now. I know we're jumping ahead,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: but I have a question about the shearing of the sheep.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yes, is that how it's done?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: You hold the animal like that and like shear the bell.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: East side of it. I mean I think so that
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: looks like backbreaking work.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's that's the vibe where to get
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: like he's a manly man, he's also quite cultured. I
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: just can't imagine all day like holding up this very
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: heavy animal.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: To shear.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: It just was mind blowing by it and stuff you
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: don't see in southern California. Guys, I have no idea. Yeah,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and apparently they stink.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Well, I guess when you go to like the Orange
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: County Fair. Yeah, the barn does not smell great, but
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that's your sheep experience. Yes, and I'm sure I'm talking
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: to a girl who's probably went to witness an actual
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: sheep sharing in Ireland.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Not in Ireland. Okay, there it is, guys.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: I knew it. Well, I've never seen one. I was
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: gonna say, I I've never seen sheep sharing. I mean,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I've been to Ireland in Scotland, and I think Scotland
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: has more sheep than people. I don't think I'm making
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: that up. There's sheep everywhere in Scotland. But I used
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to go to a summer camp on a working ranch and.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: There were goats. I'm trying to remember if there were sheep.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I kind of think there were sheep. But anyway, I.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Knew you would have some real life experience to share there.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: You know, I did Falconry and ire I knew it.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I almost said it. I almost said it, thank you
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: for thank you for bringing it upa se if I
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: can find the photos for the show notes. Okay, we
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: can rein it back in. Should we talk about our
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: first segment because we haven't even really gotten to it
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: other than briefly whiffing over it. Chelsea and Collins past
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: relationship was dig into Chelsea and Collins live. Watching this,
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I wonder like, was Collin ever really like the or
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: was he just the first maybe you know what I mean?
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Because my takeaway and it wasn't until the end of
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: the episode where I was like, oh, maybe she wasn't
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: necessarily in love with Colin, Like maybe she was in
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: love with a version of herself that existed when she
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: met him. You know, there was a lot of like
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: they were drawing a lot of parallels between like who
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: she was then and who she's become now. Right, and
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: that came via Annabelle and like wardrobe and that kind
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: of element of storytelling, right, I thought. But I love
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: that they kept referring to Colin as almost like he
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: was local, like a local celebrity, Like when Declan was like, yeah,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: I know, Colin rolls his eyes. Yeah, I mean, they
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you Colin as a thirst trap to get people to
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: this farm for sure, exactly because okay, first of all,
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I need to talk about the farm tour when they arrive. Yes, there's.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: First of all, there's that. There's the couple, the two men.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: When Colin arrives, they like look at each other and
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: they're like almost cheering a little bit when he shows up,
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: Like this is what we've been waiting for. I just
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: this show is definitely doing the most it can within
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: the Hallmark restraints, I think, and I appreciate that.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. They're like, look at this hot dude
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: cheer and sheep.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, does that land on Hallmark Channel?
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Or people will be like behind their keyboards on IMDb,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: there's nothing to be offended by for you and I,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: we're not offended by it.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Maybe.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: So what they tell us about Colin and Chelsea's relationship
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: right like they fell hard and fast, and Colin was like,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I'd marry you right now if you could. I'll prove
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: it to you when you come back. He handed me,
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: makes her this compass, and you know the question is like,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: is he the guy who just follows this hard? Had
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: she come back? Because we learned later what would had
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: she come back, you know, a year later, that would
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: have been devastating, I think for sure. And I think
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: the way that they're making because Chelsea and Colin are
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: obviously very different, and I think that the way that
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: they're making their relationship work is she's like, oh the
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: man could shear a sheet? But he read Cureguard and like,
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: don't worry, there was a brain underneath all of that
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: brawn too. But you can see her starting to question
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit about her life if this fits with
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: who she is. See this is where I think a
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: homework would typically turn Colin into some sort of villain. Yeah, yeah,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: And they don't know which works here because I think
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: as a viewer, you're still kind of like you're on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the ledge, like I don't know is he a good guy?
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Is he a bad guy?
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Like?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Is this going to work?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: How?
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: It's not about Colin. It's truly about Chelsea.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Right, So that's what I like that's different about it
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: in terms of being like Hallmark formula, because I think
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Hallmark formula in their movies it's typically about like if
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: the guy is a good guy or a bad guy,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: the girl is always good, right, so I like that
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: we have, like Chelsea, we're examining Chelsea's life of who
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: she is now? You know what I mean?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Like, does the current version of herself?
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: Is she looking? No? Actually, I think the bigger question
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: is she looking for an old version of herself with
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: these revisiting these old lovers, or is like you said, like,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: is she trying, like her to fit her current day
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: back into these lives?
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Does that make sense?
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right, Like, is she trying to
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: find some older version of herself? Or is she trying
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: to figure out it has been ten years, People grow
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and change and mature, and her life has changed. Do
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: any of these guys fit who she is now? Is
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: maybe the better question. It's a very rich question and
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: one that I really like that they're asking because I
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: feel like it's interesting to me as a viewer, as
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: a forty eight year old woman watching this show going
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: through a big transition in my own life, right and
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: me kind of searching it for who, Like it's always
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: going to come back to me guys, but asking like
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: who am I? Who am? I?
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Now know that my daughter is.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Leaving to college, right, so there has been these like
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: moments where I'm like trying to revisit like old, old
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: eras of my life and does today's current windy fit
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: back into those lives or can I just take this
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: current version of myself and move forward? Yeah? Oh sorry,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: I that's one hundred dollars. Thank you, see you in
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: two weeks. Why don't we take a quick break and
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: we'll come right back to talk about Chelsea and Colin reconnecting.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: So we're back, and Chelsea and Nannabelle have arrived, and Chelsea's.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: Worried, like, am I too late? It's been ten years?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Chelsea kind of feels like, looking back, maybe her life
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: has been a little bit on pause for the last
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: ten years in some regards. Obviously, in many ways she's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: made huge advances in her career. Well, and she makes
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: excuses for that too, right She's like, I'm all you know,
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: She's not like I'm all business, but she kind of.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Says basically, yeah, I'm never not working.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: You can't fault a person for that though, right, Like,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: sometimes we are just faced with choices, especially as women,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: like if you want a career or do you want
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: you know, can we have everything?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: I mean we can? I mean it?
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: Or not it comes down to nobody's going to be
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: faulting a man for going all in on his career
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: and focusing on doing the most right. As much as
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: I love Annabel, she's kind of giving her sister a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: hard time, right, you know, I think Annabel's walking an
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: interesting line because I loved that when they arrive at
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: the tour, Deirdre recognizes Chelsea, which Chelsea's shocked by, and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: you're just like, I remember all of my girls. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: then she sees Colin walking up and Chelsea panics. Annabel
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: really is like, Okay, let's get out of here. It's
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: too much. Like she really meets her where she needs
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: her to be, she kind of stops pushing. So I
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: think Annabel is trying to walk the line of pushing
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Chelsea forward and then recognizing the moment when okay, I
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: need to step back and listen to what she's really
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: saying to me. I cannot explain enough that I I'm
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: so glad that this is a pivot that they've made
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: from the book. You know, we're going to talk about it,
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: but if we just had Chelsea out here alone in
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: Ireland and nobody to spiral with, it would not make
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: it as interesting to watch.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: It wouldn't be as deep.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: Right, and we'll talk about it. But it also makes
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: the nightly story more interesting having Annabelle's little singers.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so too. A question for you.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: The tour guide recognizing Chelsea after ten years and like,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: this is probably the most like unbelievable part of m
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: episode to me. Like she sees her walk up and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: then instantly clocks her, Like really would that happen?
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: She'd made that much of an impact.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: Lacy Shiver has a recognizable face, but she had bangs
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: back then too.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: She had bangs.
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you that's they're like, Lacey, we got to
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: make you look ten years younger, so we're going to
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: put bangs on you. And by the way, I think
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: that those bank extensions look really good. They look sometimes
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: they look really horrible, like bing wig. You know.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I think they look great. They look really good.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's move on. I want to say you were
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: talking about my visits to Ireland. Carrie looks so familiar
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to me, this town that they're in, And I texted
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: my mom because I we went on a family trip
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: years ago, I I don't know, eight nine years ago
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and I was like, was Carrie the town we went
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: to you after we went on the boat and she
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't remember a boat. I was, yeah,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you know anyway, you know, maybe I'm just generalizing Irish towns,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: but is that where they filmed it at? You know,
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: that's a great question, Like are they actually in Carrie
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: when they're I think so because it's so it's so
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: unique looking, but I don't know, I don't know, so
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: stunning when they're like sitting out her and Annabelle are
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: sitting out at that little like cafe table in the
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: middle of like a lawn and it's surrounded by garden.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: I was like, that's my dream.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: Right, and then have barkeep Ducklan bringing you a full breakfast?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Hello, I just please? Can we go?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Is that the experience we would get if we you
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and I went to Ireland? Yeah?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Look at a dare manner and then we'll plan our trip. Wait,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: wasn't that.
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Haunted only only to me? Okay, it's not officially haunted. Okay,
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: it's haunted by uh motion sensor lights that turn on
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: on the ground.
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: Do you guys know my ghost story? Nobody believes me.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: It's so funny. There are haunted hotels in Ireland, but
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: apparently not once I want to go to.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: No no, no, no, no no. My parents stayed in one once. No,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: that's how my stepmom chooses hotels in cities. No, yes,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: I would never no no no no no no.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: If I'm ever staying in a hotel that is haunted
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and I don't know it, don't tell me. So let's
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: talk a little bit more about Annabelle. Okay, because praise
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: be to Annabelle. She finally gets her out of her uniform,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: and like, I I get it, but I'm like, Chelsea
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: really doesn't have like play clothes, Like she's still in
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: her like skirt and tank top and heels visiting a
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: far she didn't pack anything.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I know, I'm kind of she flew in that outfit.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: She flew Overseas in that outfit.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, that's a little bit unbelievable too. And but
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: on the other handling, she was going to Paris for work,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: so she probably just only packed work stuff.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm team Tennis shoe.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you don't pack a sink you're going on
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: a work trip, and you don't pack a single casual
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: outfit for maybe you don't like she has fully steve
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: jobs her wardrobe. She wears some version of the same
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: outfit every single day because she's comfortable.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: And I get it.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I get the idea that clothes are like your armor
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and it takes a decision off of your plate and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: you feel comfortable and you know it works, and it's
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: just one less thing to think about. Obviously, it's not
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: working for a farm. I know. I was kind of thinking, like,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: wouldn't she have stopped to pick up a tennis shoe
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: like before going out to the farm. She knows what
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: to expect, right, She's been there. But on the other
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: side side, I do love like a wardrobe scene, and
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I was hoping that this we were gonna get more
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: like a little try on situation. That's just because I'm
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: just a girl, guys. I mean, I like, I like
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: all this stuff. I like how Annabelle is like pushing her,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: not even like pushing her, because Chelsea just wants to
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: be comfortable, right, she just wants to feel like she
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: just feel like herself. Yes, so, I mean I even
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: what she was wearing is like so very much lacy
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: shab Yes, I mean it was still very put together
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: that flannel and black jeans and boots situation. She wasn't
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: in like a sweatshirt and sweat She wasn't in sweats. Yeah.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of that movie with her and Brennan Elliott,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: where like, remember we watched the second one and everybody's like, no, no, no,
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: you need the first one. Yes, yes, yes, yes, I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: can't remember the name of it, but you guys know
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking in love? In love?
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: Is that what it's called?
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Something like that, Yeah, Valerie Valentine in love, something like that.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I can't recall.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: You're right, because they have that little farm that they're
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: running there. This is when we get the I'm never
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: not working line. I think it tells us a ton
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: about who Chelsea is and how she sees herself. But again,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like you said, the visual cues are working hard here
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: because we get like, Okay, Chelsea's letting her guard down
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a little bit, as told to us by the flat that.
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: She's in the flannel and flats. I'm comfy.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah. A little bit later, as Annabel and Chelsea are
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: getting ready for Chelsea's day, this is a nice touch,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: like Annabel's doing Chelsea's makeup, which I like, because I too,
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: am just a girl. And then this was so funny though,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: right where She's like it stays so light out here,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: like you're doing a smoky eye on me or a
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: nighttime look or whatever. It just was really funny. The
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: writing is really, really, really great. The dialogue stuff is
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: really great. It's contemporary and it's youthful.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: The fact that Annabel's like, uh, coworker's blowing up your
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: phone in it, Yeah, I love that.
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: Work, dude.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: And Annabel gently pushes the Sherry conversation a little bit
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: with Chelsea. She says, like, dad won't get engaged without
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: your blessing, and basically, I think you should give it
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: to him. And Chelsea, I think I think Chelsea's being
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: a little bit unfair towards her father.
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: She's like, I just never thought he would move on,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: and like her dad's young.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it would be unfair to expect your
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: parent to live alone for the rest of their life, just.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: Like live with the memory of mom.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: And she makes a comment like, yeah, mom thought dad
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: was her soulmate too, and I just feel like her
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: mom passing on her dad finding another relationship doesn't negate
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: the relationship.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: He and her mother had, Yeah, not at all.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, Yeah, this Sherry stuff makes me sad, and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I like that Annabelle is trying to reason with Chelsea
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: about it without going too hard. And then I like
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: on the flip side that Chelsea's like, oh, you're spending
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: time with Sherry, you know, is kind of unsettling to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: her as well.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: So double betrayal.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the sister stuff is really good, and they're dealing
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: with some I don't want to call it trauma, but
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: they are dealing with heavier stuff absolutely. If they're not
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: even fully intentionally talking about it, it's just coming out
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in like these little bits and pieces, you know.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a part of who they are.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Well, we get to Chelsea and Collins dates.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: To me, this is like the such a nicely directed scene, hmmm,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: because we have Elsea's sitting there at the table right
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: with the beers, and we have Annabell like kind of
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: watching her in a decline, like watching from the bar basically.
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: But I just love the pacing of it and the
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: anticipation that is built, yeah, with him coming in, and
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: he does come in like he's like a mythical folklore right,
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: Like there is like an air about him, right.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: Sure, a little slow motion action it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: Before it even happened, I had a sinking feeling. I
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: was like, Oh God, somebody's gonna walk in behind him.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know if.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: It's the way that they shot it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: They like left space between behind him, and I was like,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: oh no, oh no.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: But and then sure enough, here comes his wife with.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: His kids in schee woks. She's stunningly beautiful. I think
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: I love so much about this scene. What I love
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: is right before this, Chelsea is talking about like I
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: don't I don't know how to make his life fit
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: with mine, Like I can remember our relationship, but I
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: can't figure out how to make like am I meant
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to live on a farm?
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Like how is this gonna work?
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: And that it's just such a nice set up because
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I love that annabel As soon as we meet the
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: wife Ifa, Annabelle's pissed and Chelsea's like, eh, like kind
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: of is almost I feel like it's almost a relief
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to Chelsea a little bit, maybe like it takes the
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: decision away from her.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: But the look on her.
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: Face it's heartbreak. I feel like it's heartbreak in this scene. Well,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: when when she says like, when did you meet? And
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: he says ten years, four months, and twenty three days. Totally.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: You know, it's a callback to earlier when he remembers
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: exactly how long ago it was that she left. And
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of course in the beginning we're to think like, oh,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: she left such an impact on him, and now it
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: totally reframes that moment in her mind too. No, he
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: remembers because that's the day he met the actual love
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: of his life. Yeah. But the other thing I love
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: is that she returns from the bar with a glass
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: of wine. She's like, well, forget it, like, I do
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: not need to play this Irish countryside. Well, that's what's
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: so funny, is like, you know, this is like when
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: young people try to fit into something. Right, I'm drinking
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: guinness because I'm trying to fit into this dude's lifestyle
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: where she doesn't really like it.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, so look at like.
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: The bigger picture here, if you step back, she does
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: not fit into this life absolutely, And I think over
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: the course of the conversation that she has with Colin
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: and his wife, she realizes how perfectly their lives do
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: fit together. And I think for her, I do think
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: there's a moment of heartbreak. I do think there are
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: moments where you can see like that ten years lying,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: oh that was a gut punch, so well done.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: But I also think that she just throughout this conversation, she's.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, it was never me. It was never supposed
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: to be me. It doesn't make sense that it's me.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: And that's why I like later when she's talking to
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: Annabelle in the car, which we'll talk about, she's not
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: breaking down. Yeah, as you're saying this heartbreak is the
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: wrong word. It's almost like a line between like being
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: disappointed and also, like you said, like relieved. Maybe maybe
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: not heartbreak.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: You know, there's always this question of like the one
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: that got away, right, You build them up in your
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: mind of like oh they were the greatest, and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: you revisit and you're like, what, No, that wasn't it.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: So maybe there is some sort of realization here.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Well, the way I saw it is when she's watching
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: all that happen and she's putting all these puzzle pieces
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: together in her head, I see her revisiting those moments
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: in her past and viewing them through a different lens,
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: even revisiting earlier that day, Colin saying that ten years
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: line and changing the lens she puts on that and
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: going back to all the things that Colin, you know,
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: all those moments they had, and just changing the view
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: ever so slightly. I want to talk Before Colin arrives.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: She has a memory of them in the bar and
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: he's singing to her, and she gets very emotional because
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: she's like, what are we doing? I'm leaving and moving on.
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: I have to finish off this job, like I'm not
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: from here, all of these things. I read that scene
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: when Colin kind of pushes her to acknowledge that she
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: loves him. To me, it's a little pushy em and
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: I can't decide if I'm framing that after what I've seen,
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: or if he's just really trying to get her to
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: be in the same place.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: He is interesting because he's like, no, why is it
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: so hard? It's so hard because you love me? But
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: she he pulls it out of her.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Interesting, But I just can't decide if that is
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: a romantic memory or a little manipulative. Yeah, and someone's
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: gonna come after me for saying just just see it
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: for the romance that it is. One question for you
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: do you feel like Colin owes Chelsea more of an
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: explanation here or an apology even No.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: No, isn't that interesting. She left, yeah years.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: It's foolish of her to think that he was just
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: like still single and pining after her after ten years,
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I hope she doesn't
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: go into the next dude thinking the same thing. Mmm,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: like he's just gonna be waiting for her. She's just
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: going to be surprised, disappointed, really heartbroken again. Absolutely, No,
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think you think he owes her an apology. No,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: I do not. Okay, I think she maybe is upset
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: with him at the beginning when his wife walks in,
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: but I think that changes very quickly, and I feel
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: exactly the same way you do. It's been ten years,
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the idea that she left ten years ago, hasn't been
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: in contact and he's just sitting around waiting for her
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: to come back and hasn't moved on. He hasn't done
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: anything wrong, right, So no, I don't. Let's talk about
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Chelsea and Nightly a little bit.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I love these scenes.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: They're so good, they're funny, they're playful, the little.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: Smile on his face and he's like, I'm gonna go
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: looking for her in her room.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean I feel like he's absolutely trolling her
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit, but he doesn't punch down like he's
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: not being no. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I that must have
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: been really difficult to write, either like the original author
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: or the adaptation, and hard to play as an actor
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: because it's a fine line. You know, you want to
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: make the viewers like root for you, right, because I
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: right now I'm rooting absolutely. So it's they're doing it
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: nicely in my yeah, because she and Knightley are in
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: very different places, Like you can absolutely see how Nightly
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: gets to be, like gets to the place of having feelings,
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: but Chelsea is still so much living in the past.
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: He's not even on her radar romantically. Right.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: I want to call some things I like about the
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: Chelsea and Nightly storyline.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: First, I love that we get their text on screen
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: thank you, because they text so much I need I
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: need it up on the screen, not just on their phone.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much.
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: Yep. His Instagram stalking detour to Annabel's page.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: Love that. And then I love that he says out
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: loud like she's gonna see it, thank you. This is
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: just like, this not gonna.
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: Land with everybody. Not everybody's gonna know what he's talking about.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: But that is a very real thought to have when
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you are looking at someone's Instagram page and then annabel
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: later is like, you know, work, guy's been looking at
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: my story. Please let's explain this, because I don't know
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: if everybody knows this. I know, definitely know my husband
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: is not aware of this. Oh sure Instagram. I don't
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: even know if he's aware of Instagram stories. Same if
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: you look at somebody's Instagram stories, the person you're looking
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: at can see who looked at their stories. Yes, so
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: if say we are girls gone Hallmark on Instagram, we
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: can see you guys looking at our stories. Now that's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: that's not a big deal on our end. But if
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: it's my personal account and I see somebody, somebody random
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: looking at my stories who I don't engage with or
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: maybe am not a follower, like, that's real, sussy, Yeah,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: it's happening here, absolutely, So yes, I love that they
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: acknowledged it. You know, last week I told you I
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: love that he calls her Martin. I love that he
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: calls Annabelle little Martin. So it's a great little note
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: like when he tells her she looks hot, but I
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: also like he's like, what's your plan if it works out?
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: And that kind of like sends her into a little
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: bit of a panic. Pre date towards the end of
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: the episode, though, we get like this late night booty
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: call text. Technically they're talking about work, but it's the
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: middle of the night, and then they FaceTime and they
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: have this like what about Bob movie banter? And I
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: love that The final button on Nightly is him on
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: a run listening to her presentation, just doing what she's
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: been asking him to do. Okay, I have so many
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: thoughts here. The first the first note is Annabel had
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: told Chelsea like, oh, I loved how your face lit
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: up when you saw Colin, right, And then you see
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Annabel like looking at Chelsea facetiming Nightly and also seen
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: like her face kind of lit up, right, and she's
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: all smiley about it. Annabel Annabel is yeah, exactly. And
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: then the next note I have about him listening. Yes,
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: he's doing what she asked him to do, but now
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering, like does he just want to feel like
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: close and connected to her? So like he's he's on
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: a run and he just wants to like listen to
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: her voice in his ears. Yeah, you know, it's kind
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: of and you gotta smile. Yeah. You could take it
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: at face value, like, oh, look he's doing when he
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: was asked and preparing for the pitch or whatever, or
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: you could look at it like.
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: He just wants to hear her voice more sure.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, I like it. I got a lot.
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: Also, I've never seen what about Bob?
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Have you?
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yes? And I don't like it? Is that Bill Murray? Yes?
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I've never seen it. And Bill Mary plays
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: Bob okay, who's quite annoying. Okay, so we're moving on.
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: Chelsea and Annabel have a debrief in the car.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Love it. This feels very real, Like.
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: Over dinner, She's like, there was no food in that bar,
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: and Chelsea says, she said, peace Collins exactly where he's
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: meant to be. I believe her that she feels that way.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: But Annabel's like, look, I saw something in you. Please
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: do not close yourself off to the idea of love completely.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: And Chelsea's like, yeah, let's go, let's go see Sebastian
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: and she has already reached out to him. And he
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: emails back and he's like, when can I see you?
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: And so they're off to Paris.
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: How far is that travel from like Ireland to Paris?
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: Well, Ireland's and island, so well, how did they get there? Before?
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: You gotta fly? You gotta fly?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Okay? I want to talk a little bit about book
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: to movie comparison and also Annabel and Ducklan here. Let's
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: do it look I personally feel when we're comparing the
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: book to the series, not the movie. When we're comparing
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: the two, I am I think this series is faithful
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: to the story that was being told in the book
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: without being faithful to every individual detail.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: And I really love the changes that we made.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Like you said, bringing Annabell in is so smart. It
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: makes the show so much richer. And in addition to that,
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: I love that Annabel is getting a little bit of
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: her own storyline here. We have a little bit of
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: her backstory. Soccer so important to her. She had this
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: career ending soccer injury. I like that we're still kind
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: of circling around that. She also is trying to figure
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: out her identity moving forward, although she's in grad school.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: She has this fun little sortation with declan the bartender.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if that's gonna go anywhere.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: But she's not simply serving as a sounding board for Chelsea.
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: She's getting a little bit of her own moment here, right.
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: I love it too.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: When we reviewed the book, a lot of people there's
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: a fun scene in the book with pole dancing in Ireland.
• 40:47
  Speaker 1: Obviously that did not happen, like Chelsea has taken the
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: place of all of those like little fun not Chelsea.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Annabel has taken the place of all of those moments
• 40:55
  Speaker 1: with her little zingers. There's also a running bit when
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: Chelsea and Nightly or facetiming from Ireland. Chelsea's wearing like
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: lamb pajamas or some sort of like animal pajama and
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: it becomes like a bit throughout that doesn't exist. But
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: very curious if people are bothered by the changes in
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: the script. The Colin storyline is very similar. There's some
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: slight adjustments. Like in the book, she and Colin are
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: like halfway through their dinner and the wife comes like
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: storming in, like you're turning with the kid's buddy, and
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: it's a very different vibe.
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let us know what you think.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm dying to know.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: In our Facebook group somebody was saying like they never
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: read the book prior to watching the movie because it's
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: always so different, And while I agree, I had just responded.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: I was like, you and I are kind of just
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: letting this live in its own little experience. I don't
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: think people are going to be disappointed. It's it's a
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: really good series so far. So far, what we've seen
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: absolutely well. That is a wrap on our discussion of
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: Paris is always a good idea. Episode two. We'd love
• 42:10
