56

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

57

:

I mean, he carried the movie.

58

:

And I'm just gonna be honest, like,

you know, the reason we're doing a

59

:

Borgnine break is because I think we

fall in love with Earnest Borgnine.

60

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: have

this podcast supports Ernest Borgnine.

61

62

:

other Ernest Borgne stuff with me now.

63

:

And you know what, I'd be totally

fine with that because this

64

:

man is as charming as hell.

65

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

66

:

Uh, my folks, I was telling 'em we

were doing a Borgnine break and uh,

67

:

they recommended the movie Marty,

which I think he won an Oscar for.

68

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Hmm.

69

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Uh, don't quote me on that.

70

:

I don't know if I'm wrong.

71

:

Someone happened the discord and nicely.

72

:

Tell me I'm wrong, please.

73

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: I

mean, you know, it's one of those

74

:

things where, you know, we do a little

bit of research for this, but really

75

:

we're here to give you homework.

76

:

So

77

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

78

And, and giggles.

79

nerd if you're listening to this.

81

:

We're all nerds here.

82

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

83

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: You did.

89

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

and I don't know, I was really,

90

:

you know, I didn't know what

to expect going into this.

91

:

I expected, I guess, hallmark movie

quality, and I think that's what we got.

92

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: we did.

93

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

94

:

But you know, I think it

was also very charming.

95

I would not hesitate to put this on my,

every once in a while, Christmas rotation.

96

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, this is

like, um, you know, a Vanderbilt Christmas

There you go.

98

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

it's charming and it's nice and

99

:

you know what's gonna happen.

100

:

But you're okay with knowing what's

gonna happen because you need it?

101

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Now were Hallmark movies.

102

:

Part of your childhood, Beth.

103

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Oh God,

I was more of a, my family was,

uh, Claymation and Muppet's

108

:

Christmas, Carol, uh, George C.

109

:

Scott, Christmas Carol,

that kind of stuff.

110

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: we uh,

we watched It's a Wonderful Life.

111

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

112

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: ours

was kind of a Christmas story and,

113

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yes.

114

:

115

116

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

117

:

That was ours.

118

:

And it was always a Christmas carol

narrated by Sir Patrick Stewart

119

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Oh,

120

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: while we

every time I hear, uh, him do that.

127

:

Yeah.

128

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

And the listener might wonder

129

:

why we chose a Christmas movie.

130

:

And I think the answer is we didn't.

131

:

It chose us.

132

:

We had a list of Ernest Borg nine

movies that were a silly choice,

133

:

not like his serious stuff, right?

134

:

Like as Hallmark movie type stuff.

135

:

And this was the one that intrigued

us the most off of that list.

136

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

137

:

This is the

138

163

:

Are we going?

164

:

We're going quickly through

this, this movie here.

165

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

166

:

Sorry, everybody.

167

:

That was just kind of

my opening paragraph.

168

:

I will stop now.

169

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I mean, I think that's fine.

170

:

We start off, um, the opening credits are

Ernest Borg Nine's character's office.

171

:

His name is Bert.

172

:

Like Beth said.

173

:

And I don't know Beth, you know, after

not having Ernest Borgnine in Air Wolf

174

:

for a couple of episodes now, now that

we're doing season four, I literally

175

:

wrote down awe, that voice, like

176

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I know.

177

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: was a

little piece of nostalgia for something

178

:

that like we've been hating on, you

know, but, and he looks a little bit

179

:

older here, a little bit more rotund.

180

:

Okay.

181

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

182

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: And

you can tell this is a well lived in

183

:

house and he goes on to talk about how

he wants to live in an actor's home.

184

:

But yeah.

185

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

186

:

Um, and he,

187

:

wears a sweater.

188

:

his sweater also looks very

189

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

190

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: as does

191

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

192

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

And there's like a lot of

193

:

pictures of him in like, movies.

194

:

And, um, you know, and he get

out on the screen and I swear

195

:

to you, I squealed with joy.

196

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: I

think I'm just happy that we have

197

:

discovered this man, because what a joy.

198

:

And you know, it's interesting in this

show or in this movie, they portray

199

:

him, I think they give a little bit

of an homage to the fact that he has

200

:

always been kind of a character actor.

201

:

They keep on saying that Bert, his

full name is Bert O'Reilly, so he's

202

:

not playing an Italian this time.

203

:

He is playing an Irishman.

204

:

And I think they're paying an

homage to the fact that like he was

205

:

never, he isn't really leading man.

206

:

He, like, he doesn't look like one,

he looks silly, you know, he has the

207

:

expressive face, you know, and kind

of that lost art of the character

208

:

actor, somebody who is like very,

very famous for being the side guy.

209

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

210

:

And um, they talk about how, I can't

remember how they say it exactly, but

211

:

it's something along the lines of like,

you have the gift, you have leading

212

:

man charisma and like a sideman face or

213

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

214

:

They, Ernest Borgne lets

them make fun of him.

215

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

but it's like, it's fondness.

216

:

It's kind of like how you know, rib the

guys for their various idiosyncrasies.

217

:

Um.

218

:

But yeah, and he like has,

he has like breakfast, lunch,

219

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

220

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: at

the same diner with like his three

221

:

friends, including his ex-manager

who he plays chess with all the time.

222

:

And he is got this pretty chill life, you

223

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

224

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um,

225

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

And then it gets all shaken up.

226

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

227

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Who he did not know existed?

228

:

I think

229

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

230

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

have, we have Becca, um, who is, um.

231

:

The little girl, and there's Marie, who

is her mom, and Marie is an estranged

232

:

daughter, um, who we very quickly

get the idea that she has been fed

233

:

lies, um, or maybe lies half truths.

234

:

Yeah.

235

:

About, about her father.

236

:

And did, has she never met him?

237

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: No,

he, um, as far as she knows, and

238

:

as far as we the audience know,

he left her mother Marie's mom,

239

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

240

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Becca's mom,

241

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

242

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Becca's

243

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

244

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

When Marie was two and a half.

245

:

and according to, Marie's mom it is

because he didn't want to be with Marie's

246

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

247

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: basically.

248

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

were both in show business.

249

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: and

they were both in show business

250

:

and she was like kind of a starlet.

251

:

Um, and yeah, so basically Becca gets

in there because Marie is dropping

252

:

her off at her friend's house

253

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

254

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: like a little

sleepy, because she's off selling cameras.

255

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

a camera salesman.

256

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I didn't

know you did door to door in:

257

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I mean, she said, I think I got

258

:

the idea that it was more of

like a conference or something.

259

:

It says that she's gonna be gone for three

days 'cause she's starting a new job.

260

:

She's going to be back on Thanksgiving and

Becca's dropped off with a friend and then

261

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Car crash

262

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

car crash happens.

263

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Because

Hollywood hates moms, so Maria's Fridged,

264

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: So she

is in the hospital and we find that there,

265

:

is no other living relative close enough

by, so guess where Becca gets dropped off?

266

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

good old paws house.

267

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

268

:

They've never met before

and she, uh, oh man.

269

:

What did we learn as her age?

270

:

Becca's age.

271

:

I know we learned it.

272

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

She's like 10 or 11

273

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: She's

like right before a tween, but like

274

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

275

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

you know, has that fire, you know,

276

:

where she can put in his place.

277

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

278

:

Like she's at that age where

she has a lot of individuality.

279

:

She's kind of figuring out who she

is and what her likes and dislikes

280

:

are, outside of her family unit,

281

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

But like not encumbered

282

:

with the teenager on we yet.

283

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: angst.

284

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Like

she's definitely angsty, but I think she's

285

:

angsty in this because she knows that

she's missing out when her mom is gone and

286

:

then like literally gets dumped with this

80-year-old dude that she's never met.

287

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

288

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

289

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

you know, she's never

290

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

291

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: heard what

her grandma said, and we don't really

292

:

know what the deal is with her dad.

293

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

294

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: and

it kind of sounds like her and

295

:

her mom have moved around a lot,

so I think there's been a lot of

296

:

uncertainty in her short little life.

297

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

298

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

she's probably got some angst,

299

:

but it's not the same as the,

300

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

301

:

And so,

302

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

turn to 11 basically.

303

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: So we

find out that there was a car accident.

304

:

She is unconscious.

305

:

She has a brain bruise, and,

uh, Bert basically asks, uh,

306

:

you know, what were you doing in

la, you know, to himself, right?

307

:

Because he has had no idea the whereabouts

of his daughter, since he left.

308

:

So, you know, he knows who she is.

309

:

She wouldn't be, he wouldn't

be able to like identify her,

310

:

but like he does take on Becca.

311

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

312

:

And I mean, the last he knows she

was in San Francisco, I think.

313

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

314

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um

315

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Because

there, his ex-wife had passed away

316

:

three years ago and he didn't know this.

317

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Mm-hmm.

318

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Um,

and they've been estranged for 12 years.

319

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Yeah, I think so.

320

:

Like, they haven't spoken in a very

321

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

322

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

um, at least 12 years.

323

:

'cause he had no idea Becca existed.

324

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

325

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, I.

326

:

But yeah.

327

:

And so, she goes to live

with him in shenanigans,

328

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

329

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: you

know, she insults his sweater and like

330

:

his house and he is all like, you're

gonna have a fried bologna sandwich.

331

:

She's like, I don't want it.

332

:

I want people,

333

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I made a joke here.

334

:

I said another movie where a young

actress doesn't eat, but, but LOL

335

:

though, she's just sad like that.

336

:

This is not air wolf.

337

:

She know she's mourning.

338

:

She doesn't know what's

gonna happen to her mom.

339

:

She's actually holding it

together pretty well for being

340

:

somewhere totally different.

341

:

Somewhere with a man she

doesn't know, you know?

342

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Who, she's pretty much as far as

343

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

344

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

only hearing bad things about,

345

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

346

:

Oh yeah.

347

:

She's been, she has been fed like

terrible stories about how this man just

348

:

absolutely ruined her grandmother's life.

349

:

Right.

350

:

And I do wanna back up so

they don't just drop her.

351

:

Right.

352

:

So there is a social worker involved Mrs.

353

:

Waters, so they actually do

make this pretty normal feeling.

354

:

Like basically, you know, he's like,

can't you take her somewhere else?

355

:

I don't really know her.

356

:

And Mrs.

357

:

Waters is just like, you're

all, she's got, you know,

358

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

359

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: so,

you know, he does the right thing.

360

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: he does.

361

:

Um, he doesn't really feel like he has a

362

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

363

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Um, and then I think this point

364

:

she plays him in chess, right?

365

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: So can I,

366

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: is the

367

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

can I just, uh, I wanna know if

368

:

you picked something up here, Beth.

369

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Okay.

370

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: to

play it over it again a couple of times.

371

:

So he like, you know, offers a

bologna sandwich, you know, does

372

:

the cute tender thing where she

falls asleep on top of the covers.

373

:

Right.

374

:

And he comes in and removes her

shoes and puts her under the covers.

375

:

Um, and then he goes and just

watches TV like he does every night.

376

:

And did you notice the name of who

was announced on the television?

377

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, it

was definitely an airwolf, callback.

378

:

It was stringfellow,

379

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

No, it was Hi Gin Barrett.

380

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: It was

381

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yes.

382

:

And I had to look it up.

383

:

Apparently he was a like, um, like a

British politician or something like that.

384

:

But when I heard the name

Gin, I'm like, oh God no.

385

:

Like, I'm sure they didn't do it on

purpose, but I just love that the

386

:

name Syngen has come up more than

it has probably in my entire life.

387

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

388

:

Which like, really?

389

:

Ugh.

390

:

But anyway, um, yeah.

391

:

And then I think that

night is the rainstorm.

392

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yes.

393

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Yeah, he gets up.

394

:

I guess he just has a Miss Clavell moment.

395

:

Uh, shout out to anyone else

who read Madeline too many

396

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Oh man.

397

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: What's up?

398

:

Uh, you know, where she wakes

up in the middle of the night

399

:

and something isn't right.

400

:

Um, God, those books were bangers anyway.

401

:

Yeah.

402

:

So he wakes up and, um, you

know, he goes in to check on the

403

:

baby and Becca is like in the

404

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

405

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

like totally freaked out.

406

:

Um, and they have kind

of a nice moment here.

407

:

Uh, and you know, of course she

would be, she's in a new place.

408

:

There's a lot of uncertainty.

409

:

Her mom is her only

410

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

411

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: at this

412

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

413

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: she

is in the hospital in a coma.

414

:

Like she's having a bad time.

415

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Before that, it looks like I have

416

:

some notes here about, um, they.

417

:

Are watching old movies

together about, um, like his

418

:

past, like ones that he was in.

419

:

And she goes, this is, we get a

little bit of her, um, sassiness.

420

:

She goes, wow, you got old.

421

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

422

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: I

literally put down this kid sucks,

423

:

LOL, but like, yeah, you know,

424

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: kind

425

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: she does.

426

:

And you know, basically she asked like,

what happened or like, uh, they talk about

427

:

how he wanted to be in musicals and stuff,

and she was like, well, why didn't you?

428

:

And he said, this face happened.

429

:

And like, yeah.

430

:

You know, Ernest Bork nine, he's

not classically handsome, but

431

:

he's very interesting face, right?

432

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, he's

got an interesting face and he's super

433

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

434

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

clearly he could pull the ladies

435

:

'cause he was married like a

436

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

437

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: so, you

438

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

439

:

And he asks her, what did

your mom or grandma tell.

440

:

About me

441

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Hmm.

442

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

You can't dance a lick, and

443

:

you have a voice like a frog.

444

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yikes man.

445

:

Yikes.

446

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

447

:

She's like not even holding back for

like, Hey, you're putting a roof over

448

:

my head and making sure I'm not getting

struck by lightning in this storm.

449

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Now she's being an

450

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

yeah, yeah, for sure.

451

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um,

and then he gets her ready for

452

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

453

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: and

she, uh, next morning and she's got,

454

:

uh, some whack ass pigtails, like,

455

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

458

and like had your hair and makeup

done and like you didn't watch ever.

459

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Like, I get it.

460

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

461

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

old man doesn't know how to do

462

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

463

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

blah, blah, blah.

464

:

You know, never got to raise

his daughter, whatever.

465

:

But like, man, you know when a pigtail is

level and the fact that she goes with it,

466

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

467

:

I mean, but

468

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

like, yep, this is fine.

469

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: you

know, it's the same guy who has worn

470

:

the same sweater forever, right.

471

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: That's true.

472

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: He sings

her a wel sha lullaby to calm her down.

473

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Oh shit.

474

:

I forgot about

475

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Right.

476

:

It was cute, but you know, it

was really funny 'cause it was

477

:

in an Italian American accent.

478

:

You know, he's got kind of that

gruff sound to his voice, right?

479

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

480

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

481

:

And she falls asleep on

him and it's really sweet.

482

:

Right?

483

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: It's very

484

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

485

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, it

was quite different from the, uh, you

486

:

found the Gaelic man on TikTok yet?

487

:

Who sings Gaelic

lullabies to his baby farm

488

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: No,

489

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

it's real nice.

490

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

have to check that out.

491

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

492

:

Highly recommend.

493

:

but yeah, so, um.

494

:

She at this point, you know,

he's taken her to school with

495

:

her Jake Aspirates and uh,

496

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

to sign her up for school.

497

:

So she's not necessarily starting

that day, but they're, you know,

498

:

he's doing the right thing.

499

:

He's signing her up for classes,

you know, that kind of stuff.

500

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

501

:

And um, she tells him at this point

that, um, grandma said that Bert left her

502

:

and Becca's mom when Maria was two and

a half, because he didn't want Becca's

503

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

504

:

Yep.

505

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh, and

Bert's obviously upset about this.

506

:

Um, but yeah, so they go sign her up and

lady at the front desk is all like, Ooh,

507

:

don't forget about the school musical.

508

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

And of course this is like Chek

509

:

Off's musical, because of course

it's going to be part of the plot,

510

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

And my bad, it was not her.

511

:

So the lady at the front desk, uh,

introduces her to another small child.

512

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: right?

513

:

To show her around the school.

514

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

yeah, and I cannot remember

515

:

the other small child's name.

516

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I, she didn't even make it

517

:

into my notes, but I remember.

518

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Okay.

519

:

Well, her buddy Becca's buddy,

um, first of all fixes her

520

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

521

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

so like, good on her.

522

:

Um, and also tells her

about the Christmas pageant

523

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

524

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: and, uh,

is all like, Ooh, you wanna audition?

525

:

And Becca's like, hell

yeah, I'm gonna audition.

526

:

Um, and so then she, you know, gets picked

up by her grandpa with her like actual

527

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

528

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: and gets

in and is like, Hey, my new friend.

529

:

Is real chill.

530

:

And she fixed my hair and she told

me about the Christmas pageant,

531

:

I don't know if I'm gonna do it.

532

:

And her grandpa's all like,

we can get you into shape.

533

:

Um,

534

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

And enter into Becca's life.

535

:

Roxy love her.

536

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Roxy's Yes.

537

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: And

like we knew going into this, Beth and

538

:

I had talked off Pod that the people

around her, ne Borg nine, like his old

539

:

actor friends were definitely like,

definitely had to be actors, not just,

540

:

you know, um, hallmark movie actors.

541

:

And, you know, everybody in this

seems to have a decent long list of

542

:

things that they had been a part of.

543

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

544

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Um,

this character Roxy was Mona, and

545

:

who's the boss among other things.

546

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yes.

547

:

She had another, she was in soap

548

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: So,

549

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: really funny.

550

:

Um, but yes.

551

:

And also, oh, I forgot.

552

:

Okay.

553

:

So, and then when she, you know,

was like, I'm gonna audition

554

:

for the Christmas pageant, her

grandpa's like, Hey, guess what?

555

:

Your mom's awake.

556

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Right.

557

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

And then they go, um, and do

558

:

the most awkward hospital visit

559

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

560

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh, and he's

basically like, huh, just wait out here,

561

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

562

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: And

she's all like, oh, are you sure you

563

:

don't, the doctor's like, you sure

you don't wanna see your daughter?

564

:

And he is like, nah.

565

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

566

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: And then

he just shoves his grandkid in there,

567

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

568

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: And waits.

569

:

and then, you know, we cut to him doing

laundry it's that trope where this like

570

:

Boomer, who has been doing his own damn

laundry for years, put a red shirt in

571

:

with white clothing and now, you know.

572

:

and so the next morning Becca informed

him that she's ruined his favorite

573

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

574

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: uh, which,

uh, tell me this movie was written by an

575

:

out of touch, middle aged dude who has

never met a child without telling me.

576

:

'cause I don't know about you, but, uh,

10 year olds don't typically say things

577

:

like, you ruined my favorite blouse.

578

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: And

even carrying that, it's like pink.

579

:

Like I'd be like, oh, sweet,

now I have a pink shirt.

580

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

I'd be like, wow.

581

:

Sick.

582

:

I kind of like this pastel pink

583

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

584

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: know.

585

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

586

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I'm

gonna rock it with my combat boots,

587

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: have, we

did have a scene that cut in there, um,

588

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: shit.

589

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: where

they were back at the actor's home and

590

:

they let it drop that he was quote,

too ugly, so they made him a bad guy.

591

:

So we get the idea that in

movies, he was like a mobster.

592

:

Yeah.

593

:

Which I thought was cute.

594

:

'cause you can tell like his

actual personality is nothing like

595

:

that, but maybe in a deep way.

596

:

You know, a fantasy world

has made him into a bad man,

597

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: maybe.

598

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: you know?

599

:

We'll get to that.

600

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

601

:

We'll see.

602

:

Um.

603

:

But yeah.

604

:

And uh, so he makes Rocky Sea

do some emotional labor and

605

:

take his grandchild shopping for

606

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

607

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh, 'cause he

doesn't wanna be seen buying girls clothes

608

:

and No, that is not me interjecting.

609

:

That is literally what he

610

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

611

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

What the hell?

612

:

Like, I just can't imagine having such

fragile masculinity, to be honest.

613

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

614

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

like had a dad who would happily

615

:

buy me pads, tampons, whatever I

616

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

617

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

whenever I needed.

618

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

619

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

I have a partner who does the

620

:

same, like, I do not understand.

621

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

622

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Um, but yeah, so

623

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Well, let's see.

624

:

Oh, we skipped over the funeral

for the ugly sweater too.

625

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Shit we

626

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

627

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: She beats.

628

:

So Becca beats Bert in a chess

629

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

630

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: And

if she wins, he has to bury his

631

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

632

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

So she makes him bury

633

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

634

:

And Taps is playing and, you

know, it's a whole thing.

635

:

It was really funny.

636

:

It was cute little thing.

637

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: cute.

638

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

And we also find out that Bert,

639

:

um, doesn't do Christmas trees.

640

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

yeah, Burt's not a

641

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

642

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Doesn't elaborate

643

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Nope.

644

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

just know he is not

645

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

646

:

Not a, not a, not a Christmas guy.

647

:

We hear maybe that they're thinking

about doing a Christmas party

648

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Mm-hmm.

649

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

they get a small tree for

650

:

Marie for her hospital room.

651

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yes.

652

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: We hear

that the mom says, okay, well when I get

653

:

better, we're going back to San Francisco.

654

:

And Becca gets big mad

and is super rude to mom.

655

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

But before that happens, um,

656

:

we find out Bert used to direct

657

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

658

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: uh,

right after Becca, uh, says that

659

:

she's decided to try out for

her school Christmas pageant.

660

:

Uh, but yeah, so we find out

about this while she's eating, I

661

:

don't know, brunch with everybody

662

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

663

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, and

then, uh, gets ready for her audition.

664

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Which Roxy has gotten her ready for?

665

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yes.

666

:

So Roxy plays and it's kind of

like, you know, Roxy's just tling

667

:

on the piano one day and it's

all like, oh, you try to sing.

668

:

And so then the baby starts singing

and she's all like, yo, you got some

669

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

670

:

And she does, she's a good singer.

671

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, she's a

672

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

673

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, and then,

uh, Bert basically creates choreography

674

:

for her, and Roxy coaches her,

675

:

sorry, Bert directs her and

his other friend, used to be a

676

:

choreographer and a former leading man.

677

:

And he's handsome.

678

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

679

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

he could still be a

680

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

681

:

You know, for his age,

man, he is not looking bad.

682

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

But anyway, um.

683

:

So, uh, yeah, I wrote his other buddies,

a choreographer and a former leading

684

:

man who everyone pretends has lost his

looks, even though he's still smoking hot.

685

:

then we find out about the Christmas tree

because, um, he and the grandma split

686

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

687

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: on Christmas

688

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

689

:

So that's why he doesn't do Christmas and

he is really like humble about it too.

690

:

He isn't like, he isn't grouchy grandpa.

691

:

He isn't like, I don't do Christmas.

692

:

'cause that's when she left me.

693

:

You know?

694

:

It's just like, well, you know, I don't

do it anymore because, you know, it's a,

695

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: left

696

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yeah.

697

:

Oh yeah.

698

:

Right, right.

699

:

He left her.

700

:

Yep.

701

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um,

yeah, it's like, you know, it's an old

702

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep,

703

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: It's

still there, but like it's pretty

704

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep.

705

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, and then

he staged grandpas really hard during her

706

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

707

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: which she

nails to the fucking wall, obviously,

708

:

but he's like in the front row, just like

being Amy Polar and mean girls, you know,

709

:

just like doing all the mouthing and,

and you know, all the dancing with her.

710

:

It's very cute.

711

:

and then for some reason, while they

are all at the diner, Bert gets a call

712

:

at that diner on the diner's landline,

713

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Remember?

714

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: telling

715

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yeah,

716

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

That she got the part.

717

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yeah.

718

:

You know?

719

:

Okay.

720

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Is that how it's small town?

721

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Yeah, I mean, you know if this,

722

:

well this was 2007, right?

723

:

So old people probably

wouldn't have had a cell phone.

724

:

But like we had cell phones.

725

:

He probably was just an old

enough dude that didn't have one.

726

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah.

727

:

I mean, I, I had, I was allowed to use

mine only for emergencies and snake.

728

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Yeah, snake man.

729

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

730

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

731

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, yeah, I

had like a fire engine, red Nokia brick

732

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Oh yeah.

733

:

I had the Nokia brick phone.

734

:

I remember my sister and I tried to

smash it because the cooler phones were

735

:

starting to come out at that point.

736

:

We could not destroy it 'cause we're like,

the only way dad's gonna let us have a

737

:

new phone is if like this one breaks.

738

:

Guys.

739

:

We like we're at the bowling alley.

740

:

'cause we used to bowl on

Saturdays and we were like

741

:

smashing this thing on the ground.

742

:

It did not break.

743

:

Now, like you look at a phone and

you like drop it on its screen

744

:

and if you don't have a protector

on it, it's like shattered.

745

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: It's done.

746

:

Although just in case, mine

in an honor box because like

747

:

I, for one, was the exact kid

that a Nokia brick phone was built

748

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

fair enough.

749

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I still am.

750

:

Like I lost mine in a field at some point

and happened to find it the next day.

751

:

Covered in Dew and it was fine.

752

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Wow.

753

:

Somewhere in the dump somewhere.

754

:

It's just longing for a charge.

755

:

'cause it would still work.

756

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

I think I still have it

757

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Oh wow.

758

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

You know, we kind of create like

759

:

a little phone museum in the

760

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

761

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

at my parents'

762

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Well there you go.

763

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: it's not, um,

764

:

but yeah, so.

765

:

Anyway, this is how this town functions.

766

:

If you're the lead in a musical and

your grandpa's the regular at the

767

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep,

768

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: the school

will call the diner and tell your grandpa

769

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep,

770

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh,

but yeah, so she got a solo number

771

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep.

772

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

in her pageant.

773

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Go girl.

774

:

We love to see it.

775

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: we

do, and then it immediately cuts

776

:

to, I think, another day, because

Becca has an outfit change.

777

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Can I

just say, and I made a note here, you

778

:

were somebody with editing experience.

779

:

Beth.

780

:

The cuts in this movie are wild, right?

781

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

fucking weird man.

782

:

They're fucking weird.

783

:

There are whole

784

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: I.

785

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: where the

way that it's cut makes it seem like

786

:

Earnest Borgne and Becca are not in

the same room while they're talking.

787

:

Like Jera mentioned that too.

788

:

It was like, are they, was he like

not available for this scenes, so like

789

:

they green screened him in later, or

790

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I don't know man.

791

:

And like even just the little vignettes

that they do, like, you know, it's

792

:

just like the way that this is

written is really interesting 'cause

793

:

there's like big jumps in continuity.

794

:

Yeah.

795

:

Okay.

796

:

I'm glad it's not just me.

797

:

It felt a little put me

off kilter a little bit,

798

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah.

799

:

It was very weird.

800

:

Like it is the kind of editing I would

expect from a thriller or a horror movie.

801

:

Like if you look at

802

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: huh?

803

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

or you look at

804

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Right.

805

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: There

are weird cuts and weird camera

806

:

angles and things like that.

807

:

And a lot of them are typically

pretty subtle, so that you

808

:

feel just a little bit at

809

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

810

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: called, um,

811

:

I can't remember.

812

:

But anyway.

813

:

Yeah.

814

:

Um, and like to use that in a

Hallmark movie is super fucking weird.

815

:

it was just, yeah, it was weird.

816

:

There were a lot of really strange two

shots, um, that felt odd, and then no wide

817

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Hmm.

818

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

kind of put it all

819

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

820

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I don't

know if they just like, had to do like

821

:

a rush job and only had a couple cameras

or what, but it just, it felt very weird.

822

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I'm glad for the confirmation.

823

:

Thank you.

824

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Yes, you not crazy.

825

:

This movie.

826

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Okay, cool.

827

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Um, so I

think it cuts to another day, because

828

:

of the outfit change, but who knows

because like, she's just a dramatic

829

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm

830

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

know I had a lot of outfit

831

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: mm,

832

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: as a

833

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: mm-hmm.

834

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

I was a dramatic

835

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Fair enough.

836

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Em a dramatic bitch, let's be

837

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Fair enough.

838

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

didn't grow out of it.

839

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: And I'm

a bitch who teaches drama, so there we go.

840

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: And here we

841

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

842

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh,

and then Bert gets a call him that

843

:

Marie is getting moved out of ICU.

844

:

Yay.

845

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

846

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

So then they go visit

847

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

848

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: in

matching outfits, kind of like

849

:

his sweater matches her outfit

850

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Hmm.

851

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

and it's kind of adorable.

852

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

I didn't catch that.

853

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

yeah, it's, eh.

854

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

might be symbolizing, you know,

855

:

they're more simpatico now.

856

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah, yeah.

857

:

It might be a conscious

choice by the costumers.

858

:

Uh, Marie asks Bert to come in after

he hangs back in the hallway like he

859

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

860

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

for their visits.

861

:

Uh, she thanks him for the

childcare and then sends

862

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

863

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Uh, she tells

Becca that Bert wasn't there when Marie

864

:

and Brenda, the ex-wife, needed him most.

865

:

Um, yeah, so as kind of a way of

convincing Becca that them moving

866

:

back to San Francisco is the correct

867

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

868

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

and that, uh, she shouldn't be

869

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

870

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: it, uh,

because in her mind, like Burt is

871

:

just going to let and herself down,

872

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Right.

873

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

uh, when need him the most

874

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: And the

mom, you know, Marie has no context that

875

:

Bert has been, you know, amazing grandpa

and has, you know, enfolded her into his

876

:

friendship circle and, you know, so Becca

is obviously angry about this, but mom

877

:

thinks that she's doing the right thing,

which, yeah, with what we have so far,

878

:

you know, she's doing the right thing.

879

:

You wouldn't want grandpa to

be, you know, Becca to be around

880

:

somebody unstable like that.

881

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Right.

882

:

And like, you know, especially it seems

like they haven't had a lot of stability

883

:

is kind of the, the feeling you get.

884

:

Um, so it, it, yeah, it is absolutely

good momming to uh, feel like your

885

:

kid shouldn't have to go through

more heartbreak and instability.

886

:

Um, and then we cut to

Bert and his ex-manager.

887

:

And the ex-manager asks Bert

when he's gonna tell Marie and

888

:

Becca what really went down.

889

:

Then Bur and Becca go and

we hear nothing about it.

890

:

'cause we're sitting

there, you know, like,

891

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

892

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

about to hear the

893

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep,

894

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Let's

895

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep,

896

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

We all know something's fishy

897

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep.

898

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

out with the fish.

899

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Nothing,

900

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Nope.

901

:

No fish.

902

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

which, you know.

903

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

Christmas trees.

904

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Oh, Christmas trees.

905

:

And, you know, it's cute.

906

:

I don't know if I'm going too far ahead,

but, you know, there's cute little things

907

:

that show us that Becca is starting to

really, you know, like Bert, she's like,

908

:

your face isn't ugly, it's just lived in,

909

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Which

like is such a little kid thing

910

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yeah.

911

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: it's really

912

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep,

913

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: you

914

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: yep.

915

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: I.

916

:

Um, I, I taught, I've

taught a bunch of kids

917

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

918

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: but, um,

I was for a period of time teaching,

919

:

little kids math and, uh, reading

and I was like 21 at the time.

920

:

one of 'em was like, so why

don't you have kids yet?

921

:

And the other one's like, yeah.

922

:

And I was like, 'cause I'm 21.

923

:

And they're like, that's not that old.

924

:

You can still have kids

925

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Little

kids have no construct of actual age.

926

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: no.

927

:

Then the rest of them were like, yeah.

928

:

I'm like, that sounds super

929

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Uhhuh because obviously their parents

930

:

are like, you know, 12, right?

931

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Right.

932

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

they just don't get it.

933

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

They don't, it's really,

934

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

935

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: they are

so unintentionally savage and it is

936

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yep.

937

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yeah,

so I wrote Cut to Burt and manager.

938

:

Manager asks Burt when he's gonna tell

Marie and Becca what really went down.

939

:

Then Bur and Becca go pick out a criss

940

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Mm-hmm.

941

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: The

pacing in this movie is wild.

942

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

943

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: It's

like they took a book or something

944

:

and then just abridged it in the

most hurried way they possibly could.

945

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Well,

and I think it's really interesting, Beth,

946

:

because you know, I'm looking at my notes

and I'm like, okay, where's Beth now?

947

:

It's because things went so fast in

each of the cuts to the different

948

:

scenes that we probably picked up on

different stuff while we were watching.

949

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yeah,

yeah, because like, 'cause Yeah.

950

:

And then I wrote Becca.

951

:

Yeah.

952

:

The pacing of the movie's Wild.

953

:

They bring the Christmas tree

home and then Becca calls.

954

:

Her friend, her bestie that

she was like spending the

955

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

It's Heather.

956

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Heather.

957

:

Is that the one from the

school or the one that she's

958

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Heather.

959

:

Okay.

960

:

Wait, Heather is the one

whose mom, Bert Pisses off.

961

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Yes,

962

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah,

so ashley is the one from school.

963

:

Heather is the one that she was staying

with at the beginning of the movie.

964

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: yes.

965

:

And we totally forgot the cut scene

where, uh, earlier in the movie

966

:

because seriously, you guys, this

movie is the weirdest, it's so weirdly

967

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Like, you

could put a strobe light on and like, it

968

:

feels like that, you know, where you're

dancing in the dark with a strobe light

969

:

and you see little pieces of yourself.

970

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Exactly.

971

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

it's really interesting.

972

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Like, yeah.

973

:

'Cause towards the beginning

of Becca's, stay with Bert.

974

:

Bert drives her to Heather's

house to pick up her stuff.

975

:

And um, she gets an iPod at this point.

976

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Okay.

977

:

So Heather has an iPod, right?

978

:

But later,

979

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: has,

980

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

because Becca gets one later,

981

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455: Becca

982

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: right?

983

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

but I'm talking about Heather's

984

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Heather got an iPod.

985

:

Yep.

986

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

because like, yeah.

987

:

'cause they roll up to Heather's house.

988

:

Um, so that Becca can

pick up the rest of her

989

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Right?

990

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

she's staying with Bert.

991

:

And then, uh, Heather's all

like, check out my iPod.

992

:

And Becca's like, yeah.

993

:

Oh my gosh.

994

:

The thinking holds like thousands of

995

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458: Yeah.

996

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

and we're all like,

997

:

grandma-glo_1_03-24-2025_195458:

Just you wait.

998

:

an-ipod_1_03-24-2025_195455:

you know, nothing.

999

:

Um, then, uh, yeah, and then Bert

has some exchange with Heather's mom,

:

00:42:53,202 --> 00:42:53,742

-:

:

00:42:53,772 --> 00:42:58,982

-:

like, he's a little spicy, like, mom

:

00:42:58,982 --> 00:43:01,322

kind of overreacts, like in a really

:

00:43:01,377 --> 00:43:01,797

-:

:

00:43:01,862 --> 00:43:02,762

-:

in my opinion.

:

00:43:03,242 --> 00:43:04,892

-:

don't even remember what it was about.

:

00:43:05,972 --> 00:43:06,662

-:

I don't either.

:

00:43:06,662 --> 00:43:11,312

Like, she was like, she said

something about how like, you know,

:

00:43:11,372 --> 00:43:15,122

it must be nice to have your kids

or your grandchild stay with you.

:

00:43:15,122 --> 00:43:17,282

And he was like, I wouldn't know.

:

00:43:17,332 --> 00:43:17,752

-:

:

00:43:17,827 --> 00:43:18,907

-:

And it's like a little cranky

:

00:43:18,997 --> 00:43:19,447

-:

:

00:43:20,767 --> 00:43:24,727

-:

bans Heather from even talking to Becca,

:

00:43:25,087 --> 00:43:26,857

-:

And then like Heather can't come to

:

00:43:26,857 --> 00:43:30,247

their Christmas party that they're

planning and it's a whole thing.

:

00:43:30,887 --> 00:43:32,597

-:

they bring the Christmas tree

:

00:43:32,927 --> 00:43:33,317

-:

:

00:43:33,467 --> 00:43:36,347

-:

bird is all like, let's have a big

:

00:43:36,347 --> 00:43:40,697

Christmas party and you can invite

your to, you know, Heather and Ashley.

:

00:43:41,147 --> 00:43:45,487

And so then Becca tries to call

Heather and we see Heather try to

:

00:43:45,487 --> 00:43:48,367

answer the phone and Heather's mom

is like, don't you dare pick that

:

00:43:48,642 --> 00:43:48,862

-:

:

00:43:50,497 --> 00:43:51,517

-:

:

00:43:51,562 --> 00:43:51,782

-:

:

00:43:52,207 --> 00:43:57,547

And somewhere in there, I don't know

if I'm going too fast, but he asked

:

00:43:57,547 --> 00:43:59,287

her what she wants for Christmas

:

00:44:00,277 --> 00:44:00,697

-:

:

00:44:00,787 --> 00:44:03,817

-:

she says, I want a chimney for Santa.

:

00:44:05,707 --> 00:44:07,237

And I'm like, girl, you're 10.

:

00:44:08,767 --> 00:44:09,307

-:

:

00:44:09,312 --> 00:44:11,322

Like I.

:

00:44:12,712 --> 00:44:17,662

-:

seemed really young for how old she is

:

00:44:17,662 --> 00:44:20,517

and how like world weary she already is.

:

00:44:21,502 --> 00:44:22,042

-:

:

00:44:22,192 --> 00:44:29,062

Like this is a kid who clearly has,

she hasn't been like parentified,

:

00:44:29,112 --> 00:44:30,732

which is when you kind of like have to

:

00:44:30,837 --> 00:44:31,257

-:

:

00:44:31,652 --> 00:44:31,952

-:

:

00:44:33,032 --> 00:44:41,852

but she clearly has had tough time

and has been forced to grow up very

:

00:44:42,177 --> 00:44:42,527

-:

:

00:44:42,962 --> 00:44:45,932

And the idea that she still

believes in Santa just kind of

:

00:44:46,052 --> 00:44:48,002

tucked me out of it for a second.

:

00:44:48,212 --> 00:44:48,722

-:

:

00:44:48,782 --> 00:44:50,582

That does not seem in character

:

00:44:50,612 --> 00:44:51,122

-:

:

00:44:51,932 --> 00:44:52,352

-:

:

00:44:52,397 --> 00:44:52,517

-:

:

00:44:52,592 --> 00:44:54,752

-:

just feel like, again, this

:

00:44:54,752 --> 00:44:57,812

writer has never met 10-year-old

:

00:44:57,877 --> 00:44:58,322

-:

:

00:44:58,952 --> 00:44:59,582

-:

:

00:44:59,792 --> 00:45:02,582

-:

by 10 you're, you're kind of done.

:

00:45:03,287 --> 00:45:06,827

I held onto Santa longer

than most people, but

:

00:45:07,262 --> 00:45:07,412

-:

:

00:45:07,457 --> 00:45:08,777

-:

yeah, I would say 10.

:

00:45:08,817 --> 00:45:12,717

You know, 10 would've been

the max I think for me.

:

00:45:12,717 --> 00:45:15,147

'cause I was definitely done

with Santa before middle school.

:

00:45:16,947 --> 00:45:21,507

-:

knew in my heart of hearts by

:

00:45:21,507 --> 00:45:23,637

10, but, uh, that Santa was,

:

00:45:23,672 --> 00:45:24,092

-:

:

00:45:24,897 --> 00:45:28,317

-:

should let go of Santa, but my dad,

:

00:45:29,487 --> 00:45:31,857

would write the Santa letters in cursive

:

00:45:32,187 --> 00:45:33,117

-:

:

00:45:33,627 --> 00:45:34,797

-:

time he ever used

:

00:45:35,067 --> 00:45:35,967

-:

:

00:45:36,027 --> 00:45:41,067

-:

think I kind of pretended for a little

:

00:45:41,067 --> 00:45:45,717

bit longer because I really loved getting

notes from Santa and my dad's cursive

:

00:45:45,777 --> 00:45:47,937

-:

Yeah, that's sweet.

:

00:45:49,407 --> 00:45:55,382

My dad also wrote back from Santa,

but, and I love that we share this so.

:

00:45:55,832 --> 00:45:56,122

-:

:

00:45:56,397 --> 00:46:00,507

-:

he, um, he was one of like the early

:

00:46:00,507 --> 00:46:05,067

adopters of like, we had a Mac in our

house, like, you know, back when it was

:

00:46:05,067 --> 00:46:07,467

a dot matrix printer and all that stuff,

:

00:46:07,497 --> 00:46:07,677

-:

:

00:46:07,887 --> 00:46:08,517

-:

:

00:46:08,517 --> 00:46:14,217

And, um, one year, I remember when the

Santa Clause came out with, uh, Tim Allen.

:

00:46:14,817 --> 00:46:16,197

-:

:

00:46:16,422 --> 00:46:16,872

-:

:

00:46:16,932 --> 00:46:23,892

And he wrote not from Santa, but made up

a whole story that it was crazy at the

:

00:46:23,892 --> 00:46:26,472

North Pole and Bernard had to write to us.

:

00:46:26,727 --> 00:46:27,297

-:

:

00:46:27,432 --> 00:46:28,152

-:

:

00:46:28,152 --> 00:46:30,282

It was like, I still remember.

:

00:46:30,282 --> 00:46:30,822

Yeah, I know.

:

00:46:30,822 --> 00:46:32,082

I still remember this.

:

00:46:32,082 --> 00:46:33,852

And it just so sweet.

:

00:46:34,917 --> 00:46:35,547

-:

:

00:46:35,712 --> 00:46:36,282

-:

:

00:46:36,452 --> 00:46:40,772

I aspire to keep that kind of

level of magic up for my son.

:

00:46:41,807 --> 00:46:43,307

-:

:

00:46:43,677 --> 00:46:43,897

-:

:

00:46:44,267 --> 00:46:47,567

-:

dad and mom work together and they,

:

00:46:47,627 --> 00:46:52,547

uh, create a scavenger hunt for my

sister and I for like our big gift.

:

00:46:52,577 --> 00:46:53,237

-:

:

00:46:53,387 --> 00:46:56,477

-:

I are both adults, like well into

:

00:46:56,477 --> 00:46:58,667

our twenties and thirties, and.

:

00:46:59,567 --> 00:47:00,557

-:

That's amazing.

:

00:47:01,847 --> 00:47:02,687

That's so sweet.

:

00:47:02,762 --> 00:47:03,842

-:

:

00:47:04,562 --> 00:47:06,542

it's really, it's cute

and I wanna do that for

:

00:47:06,647 --> 00:47:07,367

-:

:

00:47:09,197 --> 00:47:09,527

Anyway,

:

00:47:11,282 --> 00:47:13,472

-:

like to hug you through the screen.

:

00:47:13,757 --> 00:47:15,527

-:

magic of Christmas guys, and that's

:

00:47:15,527 --> 00:47:16,787

what this movie's about, right?

:

00:47:16,787 --> 00:47:19,727

Is the Magic of Christmas and

the, and the importance of family.

:

00:47:20,957 --> 00:47:24,497

-:

is when Bur and Becca bring Marie

:

00:47:24,557 --> 00:47:25,997

the little tree for her hospital

:

00:47:26,012 --> 00:47:26,312

-:

:

00:47:26,327 --> 00:47:27,497

-:

and Marie says they're moving

:

00:47:27,497 --> 00:47:29,267

to San Francisco again.

:

00:47:29,267 --> 00:47:31,577

Cannot stress enough how

weird the pacing in this

:

00:47:31,802 --> 00:47:32,162

-:

:

00:47:32,317 --> 00:47:35,162

'cause I just mentioned that

like 10 minutes ago, and

:

00:47:35,262 --> 00:47:35,502

-:

:

00:47:35,882 --> 00:47:36,902

-:

I don't know, man,

:

00:47:38,147 --> 00:47:38,962

-:

It just like it.

:

00:47:40,197 --> 00:47:40,857

What year is it?

:

00:47:40,917 --> 00:47:43,467

-:

are, we are skipping around in my notes.

:

00:47:43,467 --> 00:47:47,077

It's almost like you had a movie that

was edited differently than mine.

:

00:47:47,767 --> 00:47:49,477

-:

I know, like I'm sitting here

:

00:47:49,477 --> 00:47:51,847

thinking like, what the hell?

:

00:47:51,847 --> 00:47:54,997

Like, did we completely

like, I don't understand.

:

00:47:55,117 --> 00:47:55,657

-:

:

00:47:55,657 --> 00:48:01,757

Can we both agree that she asked for a

chimney and then we find out that Heather

:

00:48:01,757 --> 00:48:04,517

and Ashley and everybody are okay again?

:

00:48:06,437 --> 00:48:08,177

-:

:

00:48:08,327 --> 00:48:08,927

-:

:

00:48:10,847 --> 00:48:15,107

-:

before that, um, we find out that

:

00:48:15,107 --> 00:48:17,327

Heather's mom won't let Heather hang out

:

00:48:17,462 --> 00:48:17,882

-:

:

00:48:18,137 --> 00:48:20,657

-:

Bert was supposedly rude to Heather's mom

:

00:48:20,682 --> 00:48:21,102

-:

:

00:48:21,437 --> 00:48:23,837

-:

this out 'cause Becca finally speaks to

:

00:48:23,837 --> 00:48:27,257

Heather and she's super upset about it

:

00:48:28,007 --> 00:48:28,427

-:

:

00:48:29,782 --> 00:48:31,162

-:

And then I wrote, Heather's

:

00:48:31,162 --> 00:48:32,632

mom needs fucking therapy.

:

00:48:32,662 --> 00:48:32,932

So

:

00:48:33,087 --> 00:48:33,377

-:

:

00:48:33,442 --> 00:48:34,732

-:

she overreacted a little bit.

:

00:48:35,602 --> 00:48:37,342

Uh, yeah.

:

00:48:37,342 --> 00:48:40,402

And then, um, Burt goes

to talk to Heather's mom.

:

00:48:40,732 --> 00:48:42,772

And Heather's mom finally chills the fuck

:

00:48:42,832 --> 00:48:43,192

-:

:

00:48:44,302 --> 00:48:46,972

-:

let, I mean, that's some narcissism.

:

00:48:46,972 --> 00:48:47,632

Is it not?

:

00:48:47,662 --> 00:48:50,032

Like it's a little

controlling and narcissistic.

:

00:48:50,312 --> 00:48:51,602

-:

It was a little much,

:

00:48:52,622 --> 00:48:55,232

-:

Like, it wasn't like he

:

00:48:55,232 --> 00:48:56,492

threatened the life of Becca.

:

00:48:56,492 --> 00:48:59,012

He didn't like, he

wasn't threatening in any

:

00:48:59,077 --> 00:48:59,297

-:

:

00:48:59,822 --> 00:49:02,282

-:

He wasn't like scary.

:

00:49:02,552 --> 00:49:07,832

He was pressed about a thing he

didn't wanna talk about kind of set

:

00:49:07,832 --> 00:49:09,842

the boundary a little too firmly.

:

00:49:11,042 --> 00:49:16,682

Um, and then she like made her

kid cut off all contact with her

:

00:49:16,802 --> 00:49:17,492

-:

:

00:49:17,972 --> 00:49:19,802

-:

because she didn't get an apology.

:

00:49:20,162 --> 00:49:20,462

That's

:

00:49:20,642 --> 00:49:21,152

-:

:

00:49:21,332 --> 00:49:27,062

We demand the heather story, um, the

background on Heather and her crazy mom.

:

00:49:27,992 --> 00:49:28,202

-:

:

00:49:28,202 --> 00:49:29,137

How's Heather doing?

:

00:49:29,342 --> 00:49:30,212

-:

How you doing, Heather?

:

00:49:30,717 --> 00:49:31,457

-:

how are you doing?

:

00:49:32,432 --> 00:49:32,822

You good.

:

00:49:34,232 --> 00:49:39,572

Um, but yeah, and uh, so then,

uh, yeah, then Heather gets to

:

00:49:39,572 --> 00:49:41,402

come to the Christmas party.

:

00:49:41,972 --> 00:49:44,822

Uh, but we have no idea

what they talked about,

:

00:49:45,152 --> 00:49:45,422

-:

:

00:49:45,602 --> 00:49:48,152

-:

it would've probably made this movie more

:

00:49:48,267 --> 00:49:48,687

-:

:

00:49:48,932 --> 00:49:49,802

-:

:

00:49:51,362 --> 00:49:54,452

Uh, then they all sing at the

:

00:49:54,872 --> 00:49:55,172

-:

:

00:49:55,952 --> 00:49:57,542

-:

which is totally not weird at all.

:

00:49:58,232 --> 00:50:00,572

-:

I mean, for a musical theater

:

00:50:00,572 --> 00:50:02,252

friend group, probably not weird.

:

00:50:02,852 --> 00:50:03,692

-:

Oh, that's true.

:

00:50:03,692 --> 00:50:05,042

They are a musical theater friend

:

00:50:05,042 --> 00:50:05,342

-:

:

00:50:05,432 --> 00:50:06,182

-:

:

00:50:07,712 --> 00:50:08,792

Uh, but yeah.

:

00:50:08,792 --> 00:50:12,242

There, they're Becca, Heather and

Ashley go sleep over at Heather's for

:

00:50:12,272 --> 00:50:12,362

-:

:

00:50:14,402 --> 00:50:16,812

-:

Uh, and Burt goes and talks to

:

00:50:17,082 --> 00:50:17,562

-:

:

00:50:17,562 --> 00:50:18,222

Alone.

:

00:50:18,222 --> 00:50:20,142

This time, like for the first time.

:

00:50:20,892 --> 00:50:21,522

-:

:

00:50:21,552 --> 00:50:23,387

I think in either of their lives.

:

00:50:23,412 --> 00:50:23,952

-:

:

00:50:25,197 --> 00:50:28,197

-:

he asks Marie and Becca to move in

:

00:50:28,197 --> 00:50:29,577

with him once Marie is out of the

:

00:50:29,907 --> 00:50:30,747

-:

:

00:50:31,807 --> 00:50:34,087

-:

'cause Bert says he doesn't want

:

00:50:34,087 --> 00:50:35,797

Becca to miss out on what Marie

:

00:50:35,947 --> 00:50:36,817

-:

:

00:50:38,257 --> 00:50:43,237

-:

Bert gives Becca an iPod for Christmas.

:

00:50:43,477 --> 00:50:44,917

-:

I don't know if you notice this,

:

00:50:44,917 --> 00:50:47,977

she calls him grandpa for the

first time instead of Bert.

:

00:50:48,877 --> 00:50:51,697

-:

Oh, he bought her love.

:

00:50:51,727 --> 00:50:52,987

That's so awesome.

:

00:50:53,647 --> 00:50:55,117

-:

mean, but it also means that, you

:

00:50:55,117 --> 00:50:56,587

know, he's been listening, right?

:

00:50:56,587 --> 00:51:00,847

Like of course she asks for a chimney for

Santa, which, you know, he can't give her.

:

00:51:01,387 --> 00:51:06,547

Um, but he has paid enough attention

to her and like has updated his

:

00:51:06,607 --> 00:51:10,957

view of life enough where he

knows that an MP three player is

:

00:51:10,957 --> 00:51:12,367

going to be the cool thing to get.

:

00:51:14,047 --> 00:51:16,927

-:

you here to hear first folks if

:

00:51:16,927 --> 00:51:18,817

you can't get your kid a chimney.

:

00:51:19,702 --> 00:51:22,282

An iPod is just

:

00:51:22,462 --> 00:51:22,822

-:

:

00:51:23,062 --> 00:51:23,932

-:

That's how you win

:

00:51:24,022 --> 00:51:24,322

-:

:

00:51:25,462 --> 00:51:28,522

-:

:

00:51:28,522 --> 00:51:29,092

And then,

:

00:51:30,092 --> 00:51:34,322

-:

practicing for her role, but then

:

00:51:34,417 --> 00:51:36,227

tell me if I'm going too quick here.

:

00:51:36,452 --> 00:51:37,112

-:

:

00:51:37,207 --> 00:51:37,497

-:

:

00:51:37,592 --> 00:51:37,892

-:

:

00:51:38,127 --> 00:51:38,657

-:

:

00:51:38,762 --> 00:51:42,572

-:

Yes, because Becca, so the piano

:

00:51:42,572 --> 00:51:45,662

Becca is using for warmups for

the Christmas pageant is out of

:

00:51:46,017 --> 00:51:46,097

-:

:

00:51:46,317 --> 00:51:46,737

Mm-hmm.

:

00:51:46,862 --> 00:51:49,142

-:

which could not help it

:

00:51:49,317 --> 00:51:49,607

-:

:

00:51:50,072 --> 00:51:51,992

-:

like two of the strings are out,

:

00:51:52,337 --> 00:51:52,627

-:

:

00:51:52,682 --> 00:51:56,042

-:

like, because some strings, yeah.

:

00:51:56,102 --> 00:51:59,462

'cause the, key has like a

bunch of strings attached.

:

00:51:59,462 --> 00:52:02,732

Not like a bunch, but if

you, attach to each note

:

00:52:03,337 --> 00:52:03,757

-:

:

00:52:04,982 --> 00:52:06,572

-:

which is why it's considered a

:

00:52:06,907 --> 00:52:07,197

-:

:

00:52:07,772 --> 00:52:10,232

-:

Um, but, uh, yeah.

:

00:52:10,232 --> 00:52:10,802

And.

:

00:52:11,207 --> 00:52:14,877

So those strings can become out of

tune with each other, which is why

:

00:52:14,877 --> 00:52:17,097

sometimes when you like play a note

:

00:52:17,097 --> 00:52:18,297

-:

It sounds dissonant,

:

00:52:18,567 --> 00:52:19,407

-:

:

00:52:19,557 --> 00:52:20,097

-:

:

00:52:20,307 --> 00:52:20,757

Yeah.

:

00:52:21,177 --> 00:52:23,847

-:

'cause three aren't in tune with

:

00:52:23,847 --> 00:52:24,357

-:

:

00:52:25,557 --> 00:52:28,497

-:

:

00:52:29,182 --> 00:52:34,822

And then the lady from the school calls

and says the teacher can't make it to the

:

00:52:35,182 --> 00:52:35,662

-:

:

00:52:35,902 --> 00:52:37,342

-:

'cause she's out of town on a

:

00:52:37,342 --> 00:52:38,962

scheduled vacation, I guess.

:

00:52:39,112 --> 00:52:39,622

-:

:

00:52:39,622 --> 00:52:42,352

She has to go to Oregon on Family Matters.

:

00:52:42,772 --> 00:52:43,132

-:

:

00:52:43,342 --> 00:52:43,882

-:

what it said.

:

00:52:43,937 --> 00:52:47,867

-:

so can Bert do the musical basically?

:

00:52:47,927 --> 00:52:49,517

-:

And he ropes in Roxy.

:

00:52:49,517 --> 00:52:50,837

They're all gonna help.

:

00:52:50,897 --> 00:52:52,037

It's gonna be so fun.

:

00:52:52,737 --> 00:52:53,307

-:

It's a cute ass

:

00:52:53,697 --> 00:52:54,087

-:

:

00:52:55,047 --> 00:52:56,127

-:

I was really living for this

:

00:52:56,397 --> 00:52:56,727

-:

:

00:52:57,007 --> 00:52:58,477

It is very wholesome.

:

00:52:58,897 --> 00:52:59,737

I'll give them that.

:

00:52:59,797 --> 00:53:02,737

-:

is like this could have made.

:

00:53:05,437 --> 00:53:10,447

I would not have been upset if this

had become like a TV series where

:

00:53:10,447 --> 00:53:15,727

it's just Becca and her grandpa and

the wacky shenanigans of her and

:

00:53:15,877 --> 00:53:16,087

-:

:

00:53:16,147 --> 00:53:19,537

-:

group of like elderly people, you

:

00:53:19,717 --> 00:53:20,197

-:

:

00:53:20,317 --> 00:53:21,487

-:

just being musical theater

:

00:53:21,577 --> 00:53:21,967

-:

:

00:53:22,207 --> 00:53:23,287

-:

Like that would've been really

:

00:53:23,287 --> 00:53:25,397

-:

Like I would love to have hung

:

00:53:25,397 --> 00:53:26,777

out with this group on set.

:

00:53:26,777 --> 00:53:29,447

I feel like they would've

been really fun if they were

:

00:53:29,447 --> 00:53:30,977

anything like their characters.

:

00:53:31,847 --> 00:53:32,267

-:

:

00:53:32,267 --> 00:53:36,017

And you know, there's no way

Ernest Borg nine wasn't just like a

:

00:53:36,437 --> 00:53:37,457

-:

Oh, for sure.

:

00:53:39,407 --> 00:53:41,132

-:

:

00:53:41,507 --> 00:53:45,167

-:

then it becomes a very special episode

:

00:53:45,282 --> 00:53:46,872

-:

A very special episode

:

00:53:46,872 --> 00:53:48,852

because we cut to Becca on the

:

00:53:49,182 --> 00:53:50,922

-:

listening to Fake Britney Spears.

:

00:53:50,972 --> 00:53:52,187

-:

Yeah, no idea.

:

00:53:52,307 --> 00:53:52,697

-:

:

00:53:52,747 --> 00:53:55,892

-:

and I completely questioned my soul too.

:

00:53:55,942 --> 00:53:56,242

-:

:

00:53:56,272 --> 00:53:58,402

It was totally off-brand toxic.

:

00:53:58,502 --> 00:53:59,942

-:

I made you fair, confirm.

:

00:54:01,157 --> 00:54:01,457

-:

:

00:54:02,822 --> 00:54:05,822

-:

uh, Burt goes to talk, you know,

:

00:54:05,822 --> 00:54:08,522

goes up to pick her up and, uh, oops.

:

00:54:08,582 --> 00:54:09,842

He doesn't get there 'cause he has a

:

00:54:10,007 --> 00:54:10,337

-:

:

00:54:11,372 --> 00:54:15,782

-:

he ends up at the same hospital as

:

00:54:16,007 --> 00:54:16,277

-:

:

00:54:16,352 --> 00:54:18,062

-:

there's only one hospital in this

:

00:54:18,137 --> 00:54:18,407

-:

:

00:54:19,382 --> 00:54:21,992

-:

uh, who is informed by Bert's

:

00:54:21,992 --> 00:54:23,822

friends what had happened.

:

00:54:25,007 --> 00:54:26,417

-:

And Marie is up and about.

:

00:54:26,417 --> 00:54:29,747

Now she's able to like go

down and meet Burt's friends.

:

00:54:30,572 --> 00:54:31,112

-:

:

00:54:31,412 --> 00:54:32,942

Uh, she's just out here showing

:

00:54:33,167 --> 00:54:33,497

-:

:

00:54:33,602 --> 00:54:34,982

-:

with her, walking around,

:

00:54:36,557 --> 00:54:39,917

-:

learned that Burt is going to be okay.

:

00:54:39,917 --> 00:54:44,437

He ends up having an angioplasty

with a mesh stent put into his heart.

:

00:54:45,412 --> 00:54:45,892

-:

:

00:54:45,892 --> 00:54:49,342

And his doctor is also Maria's doctor,

:

00:54:50,482 --> 00:54:51,922

-:

Yeah, we get the idea that,

:

00:54:52,102 --> 00:54:52,522

-:

:

00:54:52,912 --> 00:54:55,072

-:

isn't really a, it's really interesting.

:

00:54:55,072 --> 00:54:59,152

They make it feel like a small town, but

like there's a bunch of old Hollywood

:

00:54:59,152 --> 00:55:02,152

actors, so it can't be that small.

:

00:55:03,562 --> 00:55:05,137

I don't know guys, they

:

00:55:05,152 --> 00:55:05,542

-:

:

00:55:06,142 --> 00:55:07,882

-:

could probably only afford one doctor.

:

00:55:07,942 --> 00:55:08,452

So,

:

00:55:09,442 --> 00:55:09,592

-:

:

00:55:10,282 --> 00:55:12,952

-:

know, maybe, you know, it's one of those

:

00:55:12,952 --> 00:55:18,112

situations where it's a family, so they

both get assigned to the same doctor.

:

00:55:18,162 --> 00:55:18,642

I don't know.

:

00:55:18,642 --> 00:55:23,502

Specializing in cardiology

and brain trauma seems like

:

00:55:23,502 --> 00:55:24,702

two different specialties.

:

00:55:25,217 --> 00:55:26,712

-:

That is two different

:

00:55:26,982 --> 00:55:27,372

-:

:

00:55:27,912 --> 00:55:29,292

-:

and also like.

:

00:55:32,292 --> 00:55:36,162

I have enough nurses in my family and

enough nurses as friends that I know

:

00:55:36,582 --> 00:55:39,162

that everybody in the hospital knows your

:

00:55:39,447 --> 00:55:40,107

-:

:

00:55:40,162 --> 00:55:43,462

-:

is absolutely no way in hell this

:

00:55:43,462 --> 00:55:45,472

doctor is not completely aware of the

:

00:55:45,512 --> 00:55:45,932

-:

:

00:55:46,192 --> 00:55:48,562

-:

between Bert and his daughter.

:

00:55:48,907 --> 00:55:48,997

-:

:

00:55:49,432 --> 00:55:51,472

-:

Like it's just, uh,

:

00:55:51,712 --> 00:55:51,932

-:

:

00:55:52,672 --> 00:55:53,092

-:

:

00:55:54,472 --> 00:55:56,812

Um, but yeah.

:

00:55:56,872 --> 00:55:57,532

And so

:

00:56:00,442 --> 00:56:05,062

then, uh, Burt, he has a heart attack.

:

00:56:05,062 --> 00:56:06,472

He ends up in the hospital.

:

00:56:08,122 --> 00:56:13,462

Um, Marty tells Marie the

truth about Brenda, Marie's

:

00:56:13,747 --> 00:56:13,957

-:

:

00:56:13,957 --> 00:56:17,077

So this is where we finally get the tea.

:

00:56:17,812 --> 00:56:18,562

-:

:

00:56:18,697 --> 00:56:20,287

-:

feel like we should really focus on

:

00:56:20,287 --> 00:56:23,162

this because the listeners probably

wanna know what's going on with Burke.

:

00:56:24,532 --> 00:56:25,012

-:

:

00:56:26,092 --> 00:56:28,192

So what actually

:

00:56:28,492 --> 00:56:29,002

-:

:

00:56:30,142 --> 00:56:33,592

-:

Is, Brenda left Bert

:

00:56:34,642 --> 00:56:35,362

-:

:

00:56:35,452 --> 00:56:37,522

-:

like a handsome leading man

:

00:56:37,612 --> 00:56:38,632

-:

:

00:56:39,022 --> 00:56:44,202

And we find out that the mother was

about 20 years younger than Bert,

:

00:56:44,682 --> 00:56:51,132

so he was slowing down and she was

ready to like, be in the limelight.

:

00:56:52,177 --> 00:56:52,467

-:

:

00:56:52,632 --> 00:56:54,192

She was ready to be in the limelight.

:

00:56:54,762 --> 00:56:58,722

Um, she felt like this

leading man guy was gonna give

:

00:56:59,082 --> 00:57:01,482

-:

have it written down that he's a director.

:

00:57:01,482 --> 00:57:06,792

His name was Russell, and said that

your mom liked, liked Russell and

:

00:57:06,792 --> 00:57:08,622

said that he could make her a star.

:

00:57:08,652 --> 00:57:13,152

But then Russ left and then she

tried to get back with Bird again.

:

00:57:14,262 --> 00:57:15,312

-:

And he wouldn't take

:

00:57:15,432 --> 00:57:15,792

-:

:

00:57:15,942 --> 00:57:19,182

-:

why would you take someone like that back?

:

00:57:20,112 --> 00:57:21,282

she got pissed at

:

00:57:21,462 --> 00:57:21,792

-:

:

00:57:22,332 --> 00:57:23,202

-:

:

00:57:23,502 --> 00:57:24,252

-:

:

00:57:25,032 --> 00:57:29,262

-:

spent Marie's whole life trashing him

:

00:57:29,312 --> 00:57:29,672

-:

:

00:57:30,392 --> 00:57:35,972

-:

find out that he for everything for Marie,

:

00:57:36,037 --> 00:57:37,207

-:

Including college,

:

00:57:37,977 --> 00:57:38,587

-:

:

00:57:38,942 --> 00:57:41,972

-:

where he sat in the balcony during her

:

00:57:41,972 --> 00:57:44,912

graduation and never got to meet her.

:

00:57:45,122 --> 00:57:47,027

And I have it underlined.

:

00:57:47,027 --> 00:57:51,407

After this whole thing goes down, I

put her mom was a monster, underlined.

:

00:57:52,037 --> 00:57:53,897

Like, really?

:

00:57:54,017 --> 00:57:57,707

-:

of narcissistic, abusive moms in this.

:

00:57:57,707 --> 00:57:58,097

Like, what the fuck?

:

00:57:58,547 --> 00:57:59,357

-:

Yeah, dude.

:

00:58:00,857 --> 00:58:03,127

So we feel, uh, I don't know.

:

00:58:03,127 --> 00:58:04,387

Burke gets vindicated.

:

00:58:05,387 --> 00:58:05,957

-:

:

00:58:05,957 --> 00:58:09,227

Sorry, I was just reading

my final thoughts.

:

00:58:09,707 --> 00:58:10,037

Um.

:

00:58:10,537 --> 00:58:14,507

So Bert gets vindicated, but doesn't

know he's been vindicated at this

:

00:58:14,567 --> 00:58:15,197

-:

:

00:58:15,227 --> 00:58:16,577

-:

friends Tell Marie

:

00:58:17,297 --> 00:58:18,977

-:

because he's, he's in the hospital.

:

00:58:19,187 --> 00:58:20,327

Like he's laid up.

:

00:58:21,407 --> 00:58:23,087

-:

he's getting an angioplasty.

:

00:58:24,257 --> 00:58:28,787

Um, but Marie gets discharged

and Bert makes it through

:

00:58:28,932 --> 00:58:29,352

-:

:

00:58:30,017 --> 00:58:30,947

-:

and is recovering in the

:

00:58:31,247 --> 00:58:31,517

-:

:

00:58:33,317 --> 00:58:33,857

-:

:

00:58:34,067 --> 00:58:34,307

Oh,

:

00:58:34,397 --> 00:58:36,137

-:

gonna say at this, at this point,

:

00:58:36,437 --> 00:58:40,127

we know that Roxy and Carl are now

doing the pageant because they're

:

00:58:40,127 --> 00:58:42,587

not letting Bert leave the hospital.

:

00:58:43,757 --> 00:58:44,867

-:

right, because they're good

:

00:58:45,197 --> 00:58:45,497

-:

:

00:58:46,577 --> 00:58:51,497

-:

Burt reconcile, while they're both in the

:

00:58:51,827 --> 00:58:52,097

-:

:

00:58:53,477 --> 00:58:56,357

-:

and Bert is calling everybody

:

00:58:56,507 --> 00:59:01,847

every five seconds micromanaging

the pageant from his, uh, hospital

:

00:59:02,027 --> 00:59:03,077

-:

is super cute.

:

00:59:03,842 --> 00:59:04,112

-:

:

00:59:04,367 --> 00:59:04,667

-:

:

00:59:05,042 --> 00:59:06,662

-:

his friends are like, shut the

:

00:59:06,677 --> 00:59:07,097

-:

:

00:59:07,532 --> 00:59:08,552

-:

:

00:59:08,627 --> 00:59:09,857

-:

not even on cell phones.

:

00:59:09,977 --> 00:59:11,927

They're like calling the stage phone.

:

00:59:11,932 --> 00:59:12,112

Right.

:

00:59:12,132 --> 00:59:15,197

And they're running around trying

to get this pageant ready and

:

00:59:15,227 --> 00:59:18,647

he's like pulling them away and

finally they're not answering him.

:

00:59:18,902 --> 00:59:19,172

-:

:

00:59:19,217 --> 00:59:19,667

-:

:

00:59:20,132 --> 00:59:20,342

-:

:

00:59:20,387 --> 00:59:21,377

-:

It's super cute.

:

00:59:22,382 --> 00:59:23,582

-:

and then Burt can't get ahold

:

00:59:23,582 --> 00:59:24,932

of anyone, so he checks out a

:

00:59:25,247 --> 00:59:25,637

-:

:

00:59:25,892 --> 00:59:30,632

-:

he, 'cause he can't miss the pageant.

:

00:59:31,262 --> 00:59:36,842

Um, which is fucking wild

again, like I understand.

:

00:59:37,052 --> 00:59:39,272

Well actually it's not that wild is it?

:

00:59:39,272 --> 00:59:42,332

Because originally I was thinking it

was wild, but I think I judged too

:

00:59:42,332 --> 00:59:46,682

harshly because spent your whole life

not being able to be there for your

:

00:59:47,057 --> 00:59:47,327

-:

:

00:59:48,092 --> 00:59:49,802

-:

you wanted to do is be there for your

:

00:59:49,802 --> 00:59:53,462

daughter, but only getting to see her

from the balcony of her graduation

:

00:59:53,462 --> 00:59:54,992

and not even getting to congratulate

:

00:59:55,097 --> 00:59:55,637

-:

:

00:59:56,087 --> 01:00:00,017

And at that point, I mean, if you're

in your eighties, man, I mean,

:

01:00:00,537 --> 01:00:02,187

he just survived a heart attack.

:

01:00:02,187 --> 01:00:04,047

He's living on borrowed time.

:

01:00:04,527 --> 01:00:07,917

You know, even though it says there's no

damage to his heart, he's gonna be fine.

:

01:00:07,917 --> 01:00:10,047

Which, you know, yay Christmas Miracle.

:

01:00:10,047 --> 01:00:11,392

But like, yeah,

:

01:00:11,427 --> 01:00:12,627

-:

but he's still 80,

:

01:00:12,747 --> 01:00:14,757

-:

are not gonna get, who knows if you're

:

01:00:14,757 --> 01:00:16,497

gonna see the next pageant, right?

:

01:00:17,187 --> 01:00:17,697

-:

:

01:00:18,237 --> 01:00:19,137

-:

So I get it.

:

01:00:20,247 --> 01:00:21,357

-:

:

01:00:21,897 --> 01:00:25,437

I don't know what past Beth was

thinking, writing that honestly.

:

01:00:26,277 --> 01:00:31,077

Um, but yeah, and so then he gets

there just in time for Becca's

:

01:00:31,077 --> 01:00:33,417

big solo, because of course,

:

01:00:33,597 --> 01:00:34,467

-:

:

01:00:35,157 --> 01:00:39,297

And she's having stage fright

and Carl tries to calm her down,

:

01:00:39,297 --> 01:00:43,077

but the only person who could

actually calm her down is Becca.

:

01:00:43,167 --> 01:00:44,932

Or is, uh, you know, Bert.

:

01:00:45,867 --> 01:00:46,017

-:

:

01:00:46,032 --> 01:00:47,592

-:

And you know, it's the dramatic

:

01:00:47,592 --> 01:00:52,392

scene where the curtain opens

and the performer isn't there.

:

01:00:52,392 --> 01:00:52,872

Right?

:

01:00:53,697 --> 01:00:54,297

-:

:

01:00:55,722 --> 01:01:00,372

Um, and yeah, this is a

very Christian school.

:

01:01:00,402 --> 01:01:07,362

Like is this a Catholic Like

they seem very into Christianity

:

01:01:07,392 --> 01:01:08,257

-:

:

01:01:08,262 --> 01:01:08,802

-:

:

01:01:08,922 --> 01:01:09,882

-:

even catch that.

:

01:01:09,912 --> 01:01:13,662

I mean, it might be Catholic because, you

know, if he's Irish, that makes sense.

:

01:01:14,562 --> 01:01:17,112

-:

there's a lot of Jesus in this pageant.

:

01:01:17,902 --> 01:01:25,072

And then after the show, Marie

asks to move in with Bert and the

:

01:01:25,072 --> 01:01:26,812

movie ends with everybody singing.

:

01:01:26,812 --> 01:01:29,032

We Wish You a Merry Christmas,

which of course it does.

:

01:01:29,052 --> 01:01:29,572

-:

:

01:01:29,992 --> 01:01:35,812

And I do wanna say that the advice

that Bert gives Becca is, I like this

:

01:01:35,812 --> 01:01:37,342

because I've never understood this.

:

01:01:37,342 --> 01:01:40,702

The whole, like, imagine

everybody's naked thing.

:

01:01:40,732 --> 01:01:45,052

I've never understood that that

would make me way more uncomfortable.

:

01:01:45,272 --> 01:01:48,542

He said, imagine everyone is

your friend in the audience.

:

01:01:48,542 --> 01:01:49,952

And I'm like, isn't that sweet?

:

01:01:50,762 --> 01:01:53,012

-:

That's so cute and much more

:

01:01:53,012 --> 01:01:54,962

appropriate to tell a 10-year-old,

:

01:01:55,352 --> 01:01:58,212

-:

And you know, Becca's singing, I put

:

01:01:58,212 --> 01:02:04,092

down, and she's also a gospel singer

because like, she pops off in her solo.

:

01:02:04,332 --> 01:02:07,302

It's not like the sweet stuff

she was doing with Roxy.

:

01:02:07,692 --> 01:02:08,112

Right.

:

01:02:08,412 --> 01:02:12,132

Like it was full on vibrato belting.

:

01:02:12,132 --> 01:02:12,642

Right.

:

01:02:12,932 --> 01:02:13,152

-:

:

01:02:13,437 --> 01:02:13,797

-:

:

01:02:13,827 --> 01:02:14,487

-:

:

01:02:14,847 --> 01:02:17,307

-:

that emotional high, and we hear that, you

:

01:02:17,307 --> 01:02:21,657

know, Marie wants to stay and live with

Bert, and then we're all singing, we Wish

:

01:02:21,657 --> 01:02:23,607

You Merry Christmas, and then we zoom out.

:

01:02:23,967 --> 01:02:26,187

It was a good fricking ending to a movie.

:

01:02:26,217 --> 01:02:27,087

It was cute.

:

01:02:27,117 --> 01:02:27,657

-:

:

01:02:27,987 --> 01:02:28,377

-:

:

01:02:29,067 --> 01:02:29,937

-:

I love We, my shoe.

:

01:02:29,937 --> 01:02:30,747

Merry Christmas.

:

01:02:30,837 --> 01:02:31,167

-:

:

01:02:31,527 --> 01:02:33,777

-:

as much as I love, have Yourself a

:

01:02:33,927 --> 01:02:34,527

-:

:

01:02:34,857 --> 01:02:36,867

-:

like, you know, it's a banger.

:

01:02:36,867 --> 01:02:37,707

It's a certified

:

01:02:37,917 --> 01:02:38,217

-:

:

01:02:38,697 --> 01:02:40,887

-:

Um, I did write.

:

01:02:41,502 --> 01:02:43,122

The writing felt like an eighth grader

:

01:02:43,347 --> 01:02:43,707

-:

:

01:02:43,842 --> 01:02:47,082

-:

English project they forgot to do

:

01:02:47,082 --> 01:02:48,942

until 3:00 AM the morning it was

:

01:02:48,987 --> 01:02:49,347

-:

:

01:02:51,372 --> 01:02:52,752

-:

because like there were ideas

:

01:02:52,827 --> 01:02:53,127

-:

:

01:02:54,282 --> 01:02:55,542

-:

but the ideas were not fleshed

:

01:02:55,557 --> 01:02:55,887

-:

:

01:02:56,847 --> 01:02:58,257

They had concepts of a plan.

:

01:02:59,352 --> 01:03:00,822

-:

they had concepts of a plan.

:

01:03:00,867 --> 01:03:01,197

-:

:

01:03:01,662 --> 01:03:02,382

-:

:

01:03:03,192 --> 01:03:06,222

-:

even that the script was a lot longer

:

01:03:06,222 --> 01:03:08,532

than this and they had to cut stuff.

:

01:03:08,532 --> 01:03:10,242

That's also quite possible.

:

01:03:10,992 --> 01:03:11,292

-:

:

01:03:11,292 --> 01:03:14,832

Like it was almost like, it felt

like it was supposed to be a TV show,

:

01:03:14,952 --> 01:03:15,042

-:

:

01:03:15,762 --> 01:03:16,422

-:

:

01:03:17,112 --> 01:03:19,062

-:

mean, at the end of this though, we

:

01:03:19,062 --> 01:03:22,512

can both agree that Ernest Borgne

was an absolute freaking delight.

:

01:03:23,802 --> 01:03:24,432

-:

:

01:03:24,552 --> 01:03:28,602

-:

Roxy, that actress, she was so fun.

:

01:03:28,702 --> 01:03:31,207

-:

we both now wanna watch EZA again,

:

01:03:33,112 --> 01:03:33,502

-:

:

01:03:33,502 --> 01:03:33,922

Great.

:

01:03:35,062 --> 01:03:35,332

-:

:

01:03:35,512 --> 01:03:35,842

-:

:

01:03:35,992 --> 01:03:37,012

-:

It's on the Yeah.

:

01:03:37,372 --> 01:03:37,642

-:

:

01:03:38,392 --> 01:03:40,162

-:

:

01:03:40,162 --> 01:03:42,202

-:

and if you want to watch Grandpa for

:

01:03:42,202 --> 01:03:45,832

Christmas, it is free on YouTube.

:

01:03:46,277 --> 01:03:46,497

Yep.

:

01:03:46,732 --> 01:03:49,672

-:

is yes in its entirety on YouTube.

:

01:03:50,587 --> 01:03:52,087

-:

we were trying to figure out where we

:

01:03:52,087 --> 01:03:55,507

were gonna watch this, and I just on

a whim looked it up on YouTube and it

:

01:03:55,507 --> 01:03:57,757

is absolutely free on YouTube, guys,

:

01:03:58,287 --> 01:03:58,577

-:

:

01:03:59,002 --> 01:04:02,752

And that's where I watched it too, so I

bet we watched the same movie and yet,

:

01:04:03,007 --> 01:04:03,517

-:

:

01:04:05,047 --> 01:04:10,392

-:

feel like, was this some sort of test?

:

01:04:10,612 --> 01:04:10,732

-:

:

01:04:10,747 --> 01:04:11,347

-:

:

01:04:11,452 --> 01:04:12,022

-:

:

01:04:12,397 --> 01:04:12,997

-:

for Christmas?

:

01:04:13,192 --> 01:04:16,612

-:

listener, it was, it was a cute movie.

:

01:04:16,642 --> 01:04:18,502

Don't think about it as hard as we did.

:

01:04:19,372 --> 01:04:23,032

But if you need something, you know,

in the background while you're baking

:

01:04:23,032 --> 01:04:26,512

Christmas cookies or hanging up

ornaments or something like that,

:

01:04:26,721 --> 01:04:31,492

I do like Beth's parents' idea

of listening to Patrick Stewart.

:

01:04:31,492 --> 01:04:32,662

Read a Christmas Carol.

:

01:04:32,662 --> 01:04:35,002

I think that sounds a lot

better than watching this movie.

:

01:04:35,362 --> 01:04:40,072

Um, but this is definitely a, I don't

know, make yourself some eggnog.

:

01:04:40,072 --> 01:04:43,312

Get a little bit, a little

bit tipsy and watch a cute.

:

01:04:43,357 --> 01:04:44,227

-:

put a lot of rum

:

01:04:44,257 --> 01:04:44,827

-:

:

01:04:44,857 --> 01:04:45,277

Right.

:

01:04:45,307 --> 01:04:45,997

-:

should be good.

:

01:04:46,057 --> 01:04:46,537

-:

:

01:04:46,537 --> 01:04:49,957

And it might make sense and

all the cuts might feel normal.

:

01:04:52,807 --> 01:04:53,377

-:

:

01:04:54,727 --> 01:05:00,547

Um, or like watch something like, I

don't know, some David Lynch movie or

:

01:05:00,547 --> 01:05:03,967

Twin Peaks, you know, and then watch

this and you'll feel a little more

:

01:05:04,072 --> 01:05:04,702

-:

There you go.

:

01:05:04,777 --> 01:05:05,437

-:

:

01:05:06,247 --> 01:05:14,437

Uh, also the Patrick Stewart,

uh, narrating a Christmas Carol,

:

01:05:15,067 --> 01:05:20,602

um, They always played it on

like the very good speakers.

:

01:05:20,782 --> 01:05:21,202

-:

:

01:05:21,252 --> 01:05:24,192

-:

like we always had really good speakers

:

01:05:24,192 --> 01:05:26,352

with like a subwoofer and everything.

:

01:05:26,682 --> 01:05:30,672

So like, you know, I highly recommend

that because then you get that basey

:

01:05:30,672 --> 01:05:32,772

boom from Patrick Stewart's voice.

:

01:05:32,772 --> 01:05:33,912

It's everything.

:

01:05:34,542 --> 01:05:35,562

-:

We just watch.

:

01:05:35,562 --> 01:05:38,892

This is totally, has only a

little bit to do with this.

:

01:05:39,072 --> 01:05:43,122

Uh, my, my students, we,

uh, I teach English, right?

:

01:05:43,482 --> 01:05:46,827

And we just, uh, read Macbeth

and we watched the Patrick

:

01:05:46,827 --> 01:05:48,372

Stewart version of Macbeth.

:

01:05:48,372 --> 01:05:50,892

That is vaguely World War ii.

:

01:05:51,192 --> 01:05:54,942

Um, I let my students choose which

version they wanted to watch.

:

01:05:55,272 --> 01:05:58,362

Um, and it was interesting.

:

01:05:58,372 --> 01:06:00,082

He's such a freaking good actor

:

01:06:01,282 --> 01:06:01,937

-:

:

01:06:02,047 --> 01:06:05,077

-:

the same level as Ernest Bork nine.

:

01:06:06,397 --> 01:06:07,867

-:

truly both very charming.

:

01:06:09,307 --> 01:06:11,677

I really like the idea that.

:

01:06:12,547 --> 01:06:18,427

witches at the beginning of the Scottish

play are the ghosts of Dunkin's children.

:

01:06:18,612 --> 01:06:18,832

-:

:

01:06:20,647 --> 01:06:21,367

-:

I've heard that.

:

01:06:21,367 --> 01:06:22,417

-:

that's interesting.

:

01:06:22,807 --> 01:06:23,467

-:

:

01:06:23,677 --> 01:06:24,547

-:

I like that a lot.

:

01:06:26,857 --> 01:06:27,457

All right.

:

01:06:27,607 --> 01:06:30,307

-:

uh, yeah, on that note, uh, have

:

01:06:30,307 --> 01:06:34,777

yourselves, uh, Mary Little April.

:

01:06:34,912 --> 01:06:35,182

-:

:

01:06:35,182 --> 01:06:40,822

And we don't have to play Mash

because we're gonna be right back

:

01:06:40,822 --> 01:06:42,592

with Airwolf after this, I assume.

:

01:06:43,477 --> 01:06:43,927

-:

:

01:06:44,137 --> 01:06:47,107

And, uh, oh, we'll see what

movie we'll watch next.

:

01:06:47,107 --> 01:06:47,437

-:

:

01:06:48,302 --> 01:06:49,022

-:

We could do easy

:

01:06:49,277 --> 01:06:50,272

-:

Oh, what a good one.

:

01:06:50,312 --> 01:06:52,412

-:

could, if we're gonna do a novel

:

01:06:52,682 --> 01:06:55,022

adaptation, uh, we could do that.

:

01:06:55,232 --> 01:06:59,132

We could do anyone but you, which is

an adaptation of much do, but nothing.

:

01:06:59,172 --> 01:07:00,527

-:

I love much Ado about nothing.

:

01:07:00,527 --> 01:07:04,047

Another Shakespeare that I am

teaching right now to my Play

:

01:07:04,047 --> 01:07:07,257

Productions class, and they are

going to be choosing scenes from it.

:

01:07:07,257 --> 01:07:08,697

And they fell in love with it.

:

01:07:09,177 --> 01:07:09,357

-:

:

01:07:09,567 --> 01:07:09,867

-:

:

01:07:09,867 --> 01:07:11,367

It's my favorite play of all time.

:

01:07:11,397 --> 01:07:13,257

Like, not even just my

favorite Shakespeare play.

:

01:07:13,257 --> 01:07:14,247

It is my favorite play.

:

01:07:15,057 --> 01:07:15,357

-:

:

01:07:15,657 --> 01:07:15,957

-:

:

01:07:16,737 --> 01:07:17,277

All right guys.

:

01:07:17,277 --> 01:07:19,107

This has been your Bork nine break.

:

01:07:20,277 --> 01:07:20,427

-:

:

01:07:22,232 --> 01:07:23,012

Uh, Borg nine.

:

01:07:23,042 --> 01:07:23,532

Bye-Bye

:

01:07:24,162 --> 01:07:24,382

-:

:

01:07:25,712 --> 01:07:25,932

-:
