Speaker
Okay, here we are. Christmas episode, episodes unscripted. That's a weird way to say that. All right, everyone. Welcome to episodes unscripted. This is our Christmas episode. That sounded much better.
00:00:26
Speaker
Are we excited for Christmas? Anybody? I mean, what what are your thoughts on Christmas? Is it like a cool? I don't know. You guys are both parents, so. Yeah, I think Christmas is one of those things you're excited once it's happening. Once you're there and there's nothing left to do but to do it. When does it happen? Christmas morning or Christmas Eve, though? Christmas Eve is a huge deal for our family. We really do the most on Christmas Eve.
00:00:56
Speaker
So once you're there, you're good. Like there's nothing else to do. If you didn't do it, it's not getting done. You might as well enjoy yourself. Have a cocktail, watch the kids have fun. Now we're cooking with gas. What about you, Chuck? You know, kids get to a certain age and then it's like, it's not what it used to be. So it's just more of a, Hey, this can be cool. We get up in the morning, have some coffee and just know you're doing nothing for a couple of days.
00:01:24
Speaker
I just made the most epic discovery yesterday and it's totally going to be breakfast for Christmas morning. And I just thought about it. I don't want to forget to say, do y'all know the sister Schubert's dinner rolls, the frozen dinner rolls? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. She does cinnamon rolls. They are delicious. No They are so good. I made them yesterday. I'm making them begin for Christmas morning. They were but phenomenal. Well, making them. I mean, you're,
00:01:55
Speaker
You put them in the oven. Okay, anyway. I still don't get crazy. Let's be clear here. I am going to stand up and take them out of the freezer and put them in the oven. Hey, that's more than most. Can you swing your arm back there and knock that cat off of that plant? Oh, Kevin. Oh my God. Okay. You said by accident or on accident? Yeah. Scott, before I know what Shawna thinks it is, what's yours? Do you do something on accident or by accident?
00:02:28
Speaker
Bye. I don't know. peace and ah like okay I do an accident. You would. thats a ah When you're three.
00:02:42
Speaker
What did I say? Did I say I discovered them by accident or on accident? i on accident On accident. Okay. Okay. Yeah. we'll We'll move on. That was my Christmas hot take. Okay. Moving on. This, this, we're going to play a little game here and this might be, this might become my favorite game. And I think you guys are both going to roll your eyes when you hear this, but it's going to be awesome. This game is called hall Hallmark or Hoax. Oh boy.
00:03:18
Speaker
So the way this goes is I have some real Hallmark movies in here all Christmas and some made up ones. And I'm going to read them and you have to say whether it's real or made up. Is it just a title or a synopsis? It's a title and the tagline. Okay. I'm not optimistic.
00:03:42
Speaker
Charlie, are you a Hallmark movie person? I was gonna say, if one of us is, we might just ruin the game, but I feel like I can spot him. But no, I don't. I steer very clear. That's what you think. I don't. Right. This year, by the way, is yeah ridiculous. They're not even Hallmarks, but they're Hallmark movies. yeah Some of the ones on Netflix are just beyond ridiculous.
00:04:13
Speaker
Well, I'll say I, well, what do you mean by beyond ridiculous? Like a how so? Oh, can I point one out real quick? All right. Well, yeah, the, the chiefs one. No, don't know that one. Oh, uh, Mary gentlemen or something. I don't even know what it is. Yeah. Two of them and they're male strippers.
00:04:36
Speaker
But they have to raise money to keep this place alive. And of course, the girl comes from out of town where she used to grow up and meets the guy, oh, you're a snow shipper. But see, that's done telling Hallmark. And there's one where, oh, the dude's a snowman and he comes to life, but he's like a perf, you know, you see him at a snow, he's just cut. Is it a romcom?
00:05:02
Speaker
I mean, basically, it's a dumb aren Christmas Hallmark movie. Well, but he well you're saying Hallmark, but then you said they weren't Hallmark, they're Netflix. What I mean, Hallmark didn't make them, but they've turned into that genre of just dumb, silly Christmas. I know, but but it was a Christmas Hallmark-y, dumb story. I shouldn't keep saying dumb. I mean, some people love them. No offense. yeah well I think you love them, actually. I feel like you're starting to defend them.
00:05:31
Speaker
so i had I'm a Hallmark guy. You could sit down and watch a bad show, couldn't you? i I could. I used to because i you know my grandma would. and so and She'd watch the same ones on repeat oh and just sit there. It was the cue thing ever because she'd just sit there smiling at the TV. She's seen it like three times. She knows what happens, but when the you know like the plot twist is in,
00:05:59
Speaker
And I'm like, you're cheesing so hard right now. and It's just, it's so good. I love a good story. Lindsay Lohan's got some bangers, by the way. I think she only has like one. Movies. Oh, no, she's got a new one this year.
00:06:13
Speaker
Candace Cameron Beret. Is it Beret? Always. Yes. No me gusta. No me gusta. The only reason I said that is because I knew you hate her. Oh, I don't like her at all. Oh, I don't like her at all. I always have fun with her as DJ. And then she grew up to be like the most insufferable person in real life. Oh, I think two of these are... I thought she was doing God's work. And then two of them are also Lacey Chabert, who's another... Yeah, that's your girl.
00:06:43
Speaker
Lacey Shapiro could definitely be my girl. That would be awesome. She's very gorgeous. Okay. Hallmarker hoax. I'll just say. Okay, go ahead. I'll say first. Just gonna say, the more we throw out celebrity names here, we're like creating a list of people that are never gonna come on the show. Just keep that in mind. That's true. Man, because our chances of Lindsay Lohan being right here were really high to this point. Well, I had a good chance, but it's ruined now. I borrowed it up. Oh, he wanted Candace Cameron on here.
00:07:12
Speaker
And you just ruined it because y'all can miss me on that day. Oh, she she I'll just say when I was again, I had chat GPT helped me come up with some of these and then organize it all. And when I asked it to randomize them. I then realized, oh, wait, you got to go back and put asterisk beside it because no, I don't know what you don't know. what you I tried to read through and I was like, I have no clue. So we'll see how you do here. Starting off.
00:07:42
Speaker
Christmas by candlelight. A writer escapes to a remote cabin to finish her novel, but falls for the rugged handyman who shows her the magic of Christmas. Is that a Hallmark movie or is it made up? It sounds like the synopsis for every Hallmark movie ever. It's definitely been a Hallmark movie at some point, but I mean, when it was too generic. So I must say, I must say hoax. You're going to say hoax. A little too on the nose. Yeah. hoax I think so, but I guess I'd have to compare it to the others. Well, you don't get to. there it's a It's a yes or no. All right. I'm going to go. I'll say yes. I'll say yes. So we cover the spread. Yes. It's a Hallmark movie. Okay. That one was a hoax. All right. du That's a point for Charlie. It sounded good though. Like I'm like, on okay.
00:08:35
Speaker
I'm all in on that. I want to see the rug. They're all going to sound just like that though. yeah that's They're all going to be the same. Number two, a Christmas detour. Two strangers get stranded during a snowstorm and fall in love while trying to make it home for the holidays. I've also seen it, so I'm going yes. You've seen that.
00:09:01
Speaker
That's how confident I am. Okay. Obviously I have not seen it, but I would say yes. because you said you've seen Okay. Well, I mean, I can be necessary, but that's two points for Charlie and one for Sean. That one is real. That felt like a freebie for me, but thank you. Number three, snowfall in sweet water. A workaholic gets stranded in a small town during a snow storm and falls for the single dad who runs the Christmas tree farm.
00:09:31
Speaker
Oh my gosh. That's true. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. 100%. Why do I know that's true? It's true. I feel like I've seen a clip of it or something. I've seen one that sounds a lot like that. Yeah, it's a hot dad who sells Christmas trees. Well, that's crazy.
00:09:47
Speaker
That one is not real. That is a hoax. Okay, we are going to make that one. We can write that one. I'm going back to look. I swear. So I actually read that one and I was like, I'm familiar with the Christmas tree farm thing and it's not the one you're...
00:10:03
Speaker
That one's definitely made up. I already have one scene that we're going to have in that one when we make that one. He's going to be out in his overalls, one strap down, chopping down trees when she walks up. It's going to be epic. Flannel, flannel. But with the sleeves rolled up, just sleeves rolled up. The three quarter sleeve flannel. Yes.
00:10:22
Speaker
Out there, yeah he's got the nice forearms. Oh, nice. And he's out there like, you know, she's he probably puts his arm on the other seat when he backs up and uses one. Yeah, yeah steering I can see her walking through the tree farm and like, you know, very like, you know, she's got that. Yeah, she's got brand new clothes on. Yeah.
00:10:41
Speaker
yeah I don't know. ah just all of the They're the same. Just pick one. She walks around the corner and he's grinning. Well, the one you need is the one with holiday magic. Something like that. and How come those dudes are always brunettes? They're never blondes. What's that about? That is a good point. I don't know. I mean, shout out to us brunettes, but blond dudes aren't getting it done in the Hallmark movies. But they're always the the bad guy.
00:11:11
Speaker
if they're there. Yeah, that's true. i and Okay. Wow. Well, I mean, the Hallmark movies are stereotypes. They just, one of them is just is all of them. Okay. A gingerbread romance. An architect teams, I'm sorry. An architect teams up with a baker to create a life-size gingerbread house for a contest and discovers love along the way.
00:11:38
Speaker
This is awesome. I mean, some of these sound good. Some of these sound like, okay, I might watch that. You need to so need to send these into Hallmark. Like, hey, listen, I got your whole next season lined up. I would want to see that because I want to see what that gingerbread house looks like. But I'll go fake. It sounds too. It it doesn't sound crazy enough. Are we got hoax from Chuck?
00:12:02
Speaker
Can you read it one more time? Yep. A gingerbread romance. An architect teams up with a baker to create a life-size gingerbread house for a contest and discovers love along the way. I'm going to go true. Are you going to say it's real? That sounds so stupid. Yeah, I'm going to go real. Okay, we're all tied up at two now. Oh, that is right. That is real. But that one sounds stupid.
00:12:27
Speaker
Okay, moving on. The Christmas carousel, a big city art restorer is sent to fix a small town carousel only to fall for the mayor's son who's determined to tear it down. I don't want to say seen it every time I say yes, so I'll just casually say that's real. It's probably real. It sounds kind of specific, but that could be to throw you off. I'll go real. It's fake. Damn it.
00:12:56
Speaker
I love this. Holiday date. A woman hires a fake boyfriend to impress her family, but he's secretly an actor researching a holiday movie role.
00:13:10
Speaker
That sounds so good. That's a great idea. You like Hallmark movies. I don't like them. You're realizing right now you might like them. I don't like them, but I'm thinking that sounds like a great plot for a Hallmark movie. Will appeal to the masses.
00:13:30
Speaker
ah If somebody hasn't thought of that yet, I'ma be mad, so I'ma say yes, real. Yeah, I'm gonna go yes. Okay, two yeses. Mm-hmm. It is real, it's a Hallmark movie. Next up, cookie dough and kisses.
00:13:49
Speaker
a ba A baker enters a Christmas cookie competition and teams up with a local contractor to build a giant cookie display while sparks fly. This is like the gingerbread one. Yeah, very similar.
00:14:03
Speaker
That sounds silly. But they they're all going to be silly. They all do. I think that's Hoax. I'm going no on that one. I don't like it. It is a Hoax. Crown for Christmas, a maid takes a job as a governess for a European prince and naturally romance blossoms. Mark it down, that's real. The sound of music.
00:14:29
Speaker
What? It made me think of the sound of music. Yeah. Did it? Yeah. Oh, because, oh. Captain Von Trapp. Yeah, it took me a second. Yeah. Okay. I mean, yeah, it sounds,
00:14:44
Speaker
They all sound real, so. I don't know. Sure, it's true. Okay. It's true. Christmas under wraps. A doctor moves to a small Alaskan town and falls for a local man who may or may not be Santa's son. Oh, I just did the classic stereotype.
00:15:05
Speaker
When you said doctor, I was like, he's a man and he moves back. You didn't have to say it though. We didn't know you did that. I know, but I have to tell myself for that one. Cause I'm like, whoa, this one's a little edgy. Cause it was going to be two men. Oh, I see now a doctor moves to small asking town phones for a local saying you heard it and you were like, Oh, the doctor's the man. Oh, obviously. Oh, and then you got two men. Yes.
00:15:32
Speaker
And then I quit thinking about it. Either way, it's progressive, but you you were caught off guard. Yeah. Wow. Let's, let's keep moving. I'm going to say hoax. Okay. I don't like that one. Can't be a woman doctor. That's gotta be made up. Well, now I yeah you gotta to say, I've been back into a corner.
00:15:56
Speaker
Somebody's gotta take this woman doctor's side. A doctor, she's just a doctor. She's a woman doctor. She's just a doctor. Oh no, this is bad. It's real. real Oh wow. Okay, we're gonna keep moving here. Peppermint promises, a chocolatier returns home for the holidays and reopens to family candy shop, only to discover the boy next door has turned it into a coffee house.
00:16:28
Speaker
What? Okay. Is that a problem? Like, literally, who cares? I'm going hoax, because, I mean, there's no, what's the conflict there? Hey, you can't have this place. And then, but of course they get together and they make it a... Right. Coffee and candy. Right, and then they're going to have coffee and candy together. God. I love that hoax. I love that story, but I'm going hoax.
00:16:50
Speaker
Yeah, I'm going to go hoax just because it's dumb. I don't understand. where Where are we invested here? Okay, it is a hoax. Well done. Shauna is still up by one point, I believe. I lost count. Yeah. Mistletoe Miracle. A single mom accidentally kisses a stranger under the mistletoe and spends the rest of Christmas Eve trying to find him. She's spiraling. Wow. That was i knee was a my magnificent kiss. That was the best gift. Where'd it go? She's so tired. She just needs one good thing.
00:17:28
Speaker
Please. Oh, that's terrible.
00:17:32
Speaker
just down us i I got to go true on that. Yeah, I'm going true too. I want that to be real. We got to watch that one. Somebody helped this woman out. Oh man. Unfortunately that one is a hoax. All right. That's the other one we're going to make too. man I would have been rooting for her.
00:17:54
Speaker
Christmas in Evergreen, a woman's magical snow globe may hold the key to finding true love during the holidays. I may or may not have seen this one. I'm going to go true. You said that for a few that weren't real. No, but that one for some reason. I'm more confident about this one. Okay. Anything with a snow globe is going to be true. Okay. That one is real. That is the hallmark movie. A Royal Christmas.
00:18:21
Speaker
A seamstress discovers her boyfriend is a prince and must win over his disapproving mother during the holidays. That one's saying it. True. Two truths. That is a homework movie. Oh, yeah, that's true. Were you just making that up? I was saying it. Yeah, seeing it. I already seen it. Mark it down. Then Anne Hathaway in it. She would never. Would she ever?
00:18:48
Speaker
She might not. She's too good for that. She's above it. I'm sorry. She's saying that because she doesn't like Candace. Candace, Candace, Candace, Candace, Candace, Candace. it beret? It's beret. Candace, Candace, Candace. She got beret. She's bush league. like I mean, she's not going to... Wow. Man, we have got to dig into that sometime in the future. I can't wait to hear the... o Yeah, man.
00:19:15
Speaker
She, but you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know. I don't really, I don't know her. You hate knowing Kirk too or what? Is it a brother sister thing? Oh, he's awful. Yeah, they're awful. Oh, wow. I don't know. Okay. Yeah. Mark that down. We're digging into that. Holy cow.
00:19:33
Speaker
All right, we're going to move on. I can't wait to talk about it. Moving on. The nine lives of Christmas. A firefighter and a... What?
00:19:45
Speaker
That's funny. Sorry. I'll get out of your way. Go ahead. Let me. I thought that was a good noise. A firefighter and a cat-loving woman fall in love after a straight cat brings them together during Christmas. This is true. It's got to be true. It's got to be true. When I heard Nine Lives, I'm like, oh, a cat movie. If somebody hasn't made that. Which, are there people watching these movies? Cat people watch Hallmark movies. There's got to be a correlation. That's true, Scott. It's a Hallmark movie. It is really is.
00:20:15
Speaker
What year do you? 2014. Okay. Got a little age on it. All right. That was back when the ideas were good. Sorry. Was it? What was the other one? and From 2014 on here, Christmas under wraps, the doctor. Oh, the woman that is the doctor. That was 2014 as well. Just say doctor. They had a great year. Christmas lights and second chances.
00:20:44
Speaker
A woman inherits her grandmother's Christmas light store and must team up with her ex-boyfriend to keep the business afloat. A Christmas light store? But you know what's crazy? right That's such a Hallmark thing. If there's gonna be a Christmas light store, it's a Hallmark movie. It's like, only in a Hallmark movie would there be a store. Yeah, that irritates me a little. Specifically into Christmas. I'm saying hoax, but you're right. If it ever existed, it would be in a Hallmark movie. so But I'm saying hoax. I'm saying hoax too. That's too dumb even for Hallmark. It's a hoax. Okay. But December, we only have four more.
00:21:22
Speaker
i I was curious. Who's winning? Am I winning yet? You're keeping score, right? These are real points. Shawn is up one. Okay. A December bride, after being dumped, a woman pretends to be engaged to her coworker to save face at a holiday wedding. Wow. That actually sounds like a good movie. That sounds good. Yeah. It's just a hallmark because of Christmas. Yeah, I'm going true. That is a hallmark movie. I want to see that.
00:21:51
Speaker
What year was that? 2016. Sounds like a Sandra Bullock movie. Ooh, Ryan Reynolds. Ah, she's above that. Scoot up. Moving on. A snowman. Sorry. She's Bushlee. You liked that a little, okay. oh She is Bushlee. She is remarkably average. She is aggressively mediocre. I forgot about that. Remarkably average. Okay. A snowman for Christmas.
00:22:22
Speaker
A ah big city lawyer returns home to help save her family's snowman festival and ends up falling for her high school rival turned snowplow driver. The guys in these towns always have like the worst paying jobs. I can't imagine the guy running the Christmas tree farm is bringing home the bread. He looks great, very attractive, looks put together.
00:22:47
Speaker
This guy has one of those rundown, you would think apartments and then you walk inside and it's like a magnificent log cabin. He's like, I'm so sorry. I know this place of Matt and it's gorgeous. A little cool in here. You might want to wrap up. Let me, let me put on the fireplace. But that sounds like a decent story though. Shauna. I'm going to need you to read it again. A snowman for Christmas, a big city lawyer returns home to help save her family's snowman festival and ends up falling for her high school rival turned snowplow driver. she He was her rival? He's going to come over. It's like a high school rival. What is she going to do to save the snowman festival? What's a snowman festival? What even is that? And now homie's got a snowplow. So it's like, he's going to come run it over.
00:23:38
Speaker
He's just sitting there behind like waiting for the judges. No, that one's a no. Johnny, come on. Just play. She got a whole entire law degree so that she could come back and save. God. I'm going to let Shauna go first because I need to maybe I need to make a move here. I need to strategize. so Yeah, this might this might be where it happens because I don't know. i It's so stupid, but it sounds
00:24:07
Speaker
how I'm gonna go untrue. i' I'm gonna go untrue. Shauna says hoax. How many more do we have left? There's still two more after this. Okay, I'll go hoax, because i don't that doesn't sound... If that ever got made, okay, good. Got it. Come home and see the snow festival. Okay. All right.
00:24:31
Speaker
Christmas at Graceland, a woman returns home to Memphis, reconnects with an old frame, flame reconnects with an old flame and saves Graceland's holiday concert. That sounds quite plausible. No, it's, it's good. I try i had just reset. Go ahead. It sounds plausible. It does. I'm going to continue to defer since she's leading.
00:25:00
Speaker
Um, it's tricky because it sounds very plausible, which is what also makes me feel like. They all have sounded plausible. some Some more than others, though. Some more than others. My intuition is telling me it's a hoax and yet I'm going to go with true. Oh, it's totally true. I've seen this one. Oh, yeah, it's true. ah Okay, one last.
00:25:29
Speaker
A holly jolly proposal. A wedding planner hires a grumpy handyman to help fix up her venue. um No innuendo there. Whoa. let me I wasn't even thinking that. Jeez Louise. A different channel. A wedding but planner scott ah wedding planner hires a grumpy handyman to help fix up her venue.
00:25:56
Speaker
Only to fall for him while planning the perfect Christmas proposal. Oh. Is this a Hallmark movie or a hoax? Last one. Shawna, you have the floor. You are up.
00:26:15
Speaker
She's thinking for the listeners. I'm thinking real hard about it too. I don't know why. A lot of pressure. Games on the line. Either I win or it's a tie. That's true. Not as much pressure.
00:26:32
Speaker
I think I'm going to go true because of the grumpy factor. Okay. You don't think the guy could be the grumpy one in it? No, he's he is grumpy, right? He's the grumpy handyman and she's the- Yeah, you said for the grumpy factor. That's what I'm saying. like People love that plot. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you said hoax. Okay. True because of the grumpy factor. Right, because everybody loves ah somebody cheered up the grumpy person. Got it. chuck Uh, I'm, I'm channeling my inner CCB. That's my nickname for Candace Cameron Beret. Um, I'm going to say hoax. Okay. Any thoughts behind that or just, uh, CCB just whispering in my ear, said it's a hoax. Okay. Wait, she said true, right? Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Hoax. It is a hoax. Oh, nice. Thank you, CC. Wow.
00:27:24
Speaker
i'll see Okay, what I have another game for us. Have you guys ever heard of the the cap game? I think that's what it's called. That's what I understand it as. No cap. Like no cap? All facts, no printer? um Oh, that's awesome. I've never heard that. Have you not? No. i All facts, no printer. That's a T joke. You can have that one for free.
00:27:52
Speaker
ah Go tell all your IT buddies. any IT buddies. So basically, you know I would start, yeah there's 30 seconds and I would start and I would say, the timer hasn't started yet, but I'd say I can name two Christmas movies.
00:28:12
Speaker
And then it moves to Chyna and she said, well I can name three Christmas movies. Oh, Lord. And then it goes to you and you say, I can name six. And it goes on until someone says, Cap, I don't think you can do that. And then they have to do it. Now we have to agree. If you call Cap, you know, like on Chyna, I got to agree with you. Yeah, no, she can't. Let's see it. Okay. So I'll start off. There's 30 seconds, by the way. It's how many you can name in 30 seconds. I'll start off. Are we going around Robin or just shouting out?
00:28:42
Speaker
No, we'll go around Robin. So we'll go to Shauna and then to you. We'll start off easy. I could name three Christmas movies.
00:28:50
Speaker
canny Okay. are you Do you have to do that or you just... Did you listen to the instructions that I just named? I know the instructions, Scott. I know. I was paying attention. You know what she's thinking about. Well, I understand. I just didn't know, like, then once you said I can name them, then you got to name three. And like, I can't say those. I have to think of additional. So you didn't listen to the instructions. OK. I did. Kind of. I'll say. You can name three. No, no, no, no. Let me explain it again. You don't know.
00:29:15
Speaker
This is like that meme guy. Same as when people explain board games and card games, you know those memes? Yeah, but you gotta try and listen. You're looking over here at the ceiling. Oh, what? You can name three? Okay, go ahead. That's not always great at explaining things, so I could see where you were worried you might have not even gotten the right instructions.
00:29:39
Speaker
This time I think I did. I just thought there was more to it. That's a little anti-climactic. I'll explain it. I'll say, I can name three Christmas movies. Now, either you believe that or you don't. If you believe it, you say, oh, well, I can name five. And then Cho goes, well, I can name seven. And then I say, no, that's Cab. He can't name seven. And then he asked- And then I say, my dad can beat up your dad. Yep. And then he, listen, and then he has to name seven in 30 seconds.
00:30:05
Speaker
Okay. What about the part where we have to agree? The other two people have to agree? Well, that's if I say, no, Chuck can't name seven. And then you would say, yeah, no, he can't. And then you have to do it. So what do we do then, though? But if she says, no, I think he could, and I could name eight. I don't think we need to agree. What if you can't name eight, but you don't want to agree with her? Okay, there's no agreeing. Whoever says you can't do it, you gotta do it. Okay, great. I can name three Christmas movies. Shauna?
00:30:34
Speaker
I can name five Christmas movies. How long does the person get? 30 seconds. I don't think she can name five. We're already five in 30 seconds. All right, but the clock's running. Is it running? She's thinking of it already. No, no, no. Five?
00:30:51
Speaker
That's it? Five Christmas movies? I can name seven Christmas movies. In 30 seconds? Yes. I don't think you can say them in 30... Okay. 30 seconds is longer than you think. Okay, but I don't... ah I can't name six, so I've got to go... He can't. He's already out. Okay, right here. Because sometimes it's hard to think of stuff. Okay, I can name seven, Shauna. I totally believe that about you. Okay, so how many can you name?
00:31:19
Speaker
I could try for eight. I don't think I could go much past that. I feel like you're really missing the point of the game. It's a little bit of a bluff because you're trying to get me to say a higher number so that then I... I can so for sure name eight Christmas movies in under 30 seconds. But if I say nine now, I already know I have to do it because you just said you couldn't do it. Okay, you can't name eight Christmas movies.
00:31:44
Speaker
You have a timer. I have a timer. You have 30 seconds and you have to name eight Christmas movies. Are you ready? I'm going to really try it. Okay. All right. Ready and go. White Christmas, It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, A Christmas Story, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, and... That's six. No, that's seven. That's seven. Okay, seven. You're 15 seconds. The Little Drummer Boy.
00:32:15
Speaker
Keep going. Keep going. How many more can you name? Oh, okay. Shit. I mean, sorry. Now I'm blinking. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Charlie Brown's Christmas. That's 30 seconds. That was 10. Easy. Well, Rudolph is a movie? Yeah, Rudolph. How long is it? It's like 30 minutes. That's the one where Hermey wants to become a dentist. I know, right. But it's like 30 minutes.
00:32:42
Speaker
So, are you saying Charlie Brown's Christmas isn't a movie either? That's fairly 30 minutes. No, I don't think it is. But here's the thing. Can I just say, you both- What qualifies as a movie? You both ruined the game because you didn't know what's going on. You didn't realize you were- We really did ruin that. You have to get me to do it. Also, you could probably do eight. I couldn't do nine. I'm not going to use this one now, but what was the first or second one you said?
00:33:07
Speaker
Not Miracle on 34th Street. It's a wonderful life. It's a wonderful life. Yeah. There's a hot take to be had there. Okay. I love that movie so much. I don't think that's a Christmas movie. Oh. Please. What are you saying? Yeah, Christmas doesn't come up. Christmas comes up. It's like the very end. Okay. There's a lot of snow. There is. Christmas comes up several times throughout the movie.
00:33:33
Speaker
oh I just watched this movie a couple weeks ago. Should we watch it? Okay, well let's move on from that. We can, we'll stay on the topic. We're still playing this game? Okay. It's a different version of this game because you guys ruined that. That was... Collectively. It has a lot of loopholes. I was mad you didn't start in 30 seconds as soon as she said. She had 10 seconds to think of movies. You said five. Couldn't do five. Oh, and then I thought home alone one, two, three. Right, you could do that. Why didn't you say more?
00:34:03
Speaker
I didn't think about it until then. Oh, man. Okay. Well, now um we're going to do a little bit of a, I don't have every Christmas movie. I just have some of the popular ones, but I'm going to ask. Make sure the Christmas movies. It's a speed round. They're summer debatable.
00:34:24
Speaker
It's A Wonderful Life is up there. Die Hard is up there. I can't believe you put It's A Wonderful Life. I'm flabbergasted. I've never heard anyone question that being a Christmas movie before. No, I didn't. I'm not questioning it. Oh, OK. Wow. Again, with the instructions. You're not keeping up today. It's CCB. It is home, her mom. It is. She's on her mind. Rent free. I'll be honest. You said it earlier. OK. I'm a mom. It's two days before Christmas. I'm tired. So what I'll do is I'll say,
00:34:53
Speaker
like Elf or Home Alone. You pick one and then whatever you pick, it would be that one and the next one. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So we'll start with you. Okay. No, we're starting with you. It's a speed round. You just got to pick. Like how good they are or like the best Christmas movie. Yes. Ooh. And you may disagree because I might not have yours on the list, but you can tell. Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure. Okay. Are you ready? Leasto. Elf or Home Alone.
00:35:24
Speaker
Oh, Home Alone. That's hard. Home Alone or The Grinch? Which one? Jim Jim Carrey. Ah, Home Alone. Home Alone or The Santa Claus? Oh, Home Alone. Home Alone or Nightmare Before Christmas? ah Potentially not a Christmas movie, Home Alone. Home Alone or Christmas Vacation?
00:35:51
Speaker
Oh, Christmas vacation. Nice. Christmas vacation or a Christmas story?
00:35:58
Speaker
Oh, Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation or Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer? Oh, if only it were a real movie. It's only 30 minutes. Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation or a Charlie Brown Christmas? Oh, if only it were a real movie. ah Such good stories there, but you got a Christmas vacation.
00:36:21
Speaker
Christmas vacation or Polar Express? Oh, we've watched that every Christmas Eve when we decorate our tree. Not Christmas Eve. We kind of got tired of it. It's such a feed round. Christmas vacation or Polar Express? Christmas vacation or Gremlins? Christmas vacation. I won't say it. you We're all thinking it. Yeah, I think we are. Christmas vacation or die hard? Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation or it's a wonderful life?
00:36:50
Speaker
Christmas vacation. Christmas vacation or a Christmas carol?
00:36:59
Speaker
ah o I'm gonna switch it up. A Christmas carol. That's classic. Wow. and That's it. That's the one. Okay, good. I feel good about that. Now, before you dive in, which ones aren't Christmas movies and all the that jazz? Shawn, it's your turn. Are you ready? Okay. L for Home Alone. ummela Home Alone. Home Alone or The Grinch?
00:37:20
Speaker
Home alone. Home alone or the Santa Claus? Home alone. Home alone or the Nightmare Before Christmas? The Nightmare Before Christmas. Nightmare Before Christmas or Christmas Vacation? This one hurts.
00:37:35
Speaker
um oh Sorry, I know it's a speed round. Nightmare Before Christmas.
00:37:44
Speaker
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It's a tradition at our house. I thought of my children. I just knew you were going to say that and I was waiting for his reaction. Nightmare before Christmas or a Christmas story? Nightmare before Christmas. Nightmare before Christmas or Rudolph the redness reindeer? Still Nightmare before Christmas. Nightmare before Christmas or Charlie Brown Christmas? Charlie Brown Christmas. Charlie Brown Christmas or Polar Express? Still Charlie Brown Christmas. Charlie Brown Christmas or Gremlins?
00:38:13
Speaker
I love Cremlins, but Charlie Brown Christmas. Come on now. Charlie Brown Christmas or Die Hard? It's still Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown or It's a Wonderful Life? It's a Wonderful Life. It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol? It's a Wonderful Life. Chuck, you have some disagreements. I did did a little bit of research during that, but I was paying attention. A Charlie Brown Christmas is actually only 25 minutes.
00:38:38
Speaker
It's short. It cannot be a movie. you It's a movie. What do you call it then? A short story? A short movie. A short, okay. I mean, short movies. A TV episode. They're shorts. Yeah, I mean. Yeah. But in its time, in its inception, there wasn't really. So you ended up with, it's a wonderful life, right? I mean, awesome movie. I love it. I love it. Sometimes I forget how it ends and I'm like, oh, I got to watch this again.
00:39:08
Speaker
But yeah, I was close to having a hot take that it's not a Christmas movie. You like a lot of nine Christmas movies. You didn't like the night, you didn't like the night wind for Christmas joy. We got we got our holidays mixed up. Well, Christmas is in the title. And it's both because they open the movie with the, this is Halloween song. Yeah. And then they attempt to have Christmas. What's this? What's this? What's these? what's these I love that movie. Can I just admit, I've never even seen it. Oh, I know. Okay. but You've got to. It's not a Christmas movie. I don't even need to watch it. Well, you do need to watch it. because
00:39:49
Speaker
No, I know that it's good. Oh, my gosh. It's got like some scary, legit ghosts. It's about the fact that they're scary. Yeah, the oogie boogie man and like the stuff under your bed. The reason it sounds like a Christmas movie. It's about the fact that he likes he's like, wait a minute, they're doing this cool thing. I want to do Christmas. And he's like, I'll be Santa Claus. I'm going to do it. And he kidnaps them. They got to kidnap the Santa Claus. And the three little kids in the bathtub do it. What?
00:40:19
Speaker
The three little kids? There's like these, these bad little kids and they go, sorry. Okay. Sorry. Inappropriate. clothes And they kidnap him and give it to him. You tell my three kids in a bathtub. I don't, that doesn't sound like any Christmas. I sit in the bathtub and then walk in. That part didn't necessarily have to. I'm not getting the feedback. Okay. Well, it was a terrible joke. It wasn't a joke. It's in the movie. It's an excellent, excellent movie. Wow. It's just not a Christmas movie. Okay, great. That's, those are some hot takes.
