*intro music*
hello everybody and welcome back i'm rachel
i'm hannah and this is the you talkin' to
me? podcast and today we will be reviewing
mistletoe and menorahs hannah do you got that
recap for us i sure do mistletoe menorahs
is a movie that brings you both hanukkah and
christmas the story focuses on christy who
is an executive at a toy company she gets
invited to a holiday party that she finds
out will be celebrating hanukkah chrissy doesn't
know anything about hanukkah but her friend's
kid has a teacher who is jewish and willing
to help teach her in exchange for christy
teaching him about christmas can they learn
about the other's holiday in eight days we
find out but the most important thing is that
they both are reminded how important it is
to stay true to your beliefs and to spend
time with the people you love okay so this
movie is not a hallmark movie but of like
the same vein of a hallmark movie with like
the classic structure and you know everything
you expect with the happy ending and all of
that except i think this goes like a little
bit of a step further in terms of like i don't
know you actually like learn stuff along the
way and it's not just like surface level type
of things you know whereas in hallmark movies
yes the chemistry might be there or you know
the circumstances are perfect but it's not
so cut and dry i would say i mean like it's
obvious that they're gonna end up together
duh but it's not so obvious in the way of
like how they get there i guess um since i
mean big twist both of them are in pretty
serious relationships at the beginning of
this movie ye um which will bring me to a
point in a minute but i think this one is
just like slightly better than just classic
hallmark movies and i mean i just say that
in general but like it's also one of my favorite
holiday movies i've ever seen now in the history
of ever so like i couldn't stop smiling watching
this film i do know that hannah maybe has
like a little bit of an opinion uh there's
a rumor i don't know i'm ready to hear it
hannah having an opinion what i never um okay
i don't like hallmark movies i am the exact
opposite of my mom i really really don't like
them at all i don't know what it is about
them but i just don't i think maybe it's just
too predictable and i don't like that i will
say that this movie was definitely better
than hallmark movie um i'm not sure exactly
why i liked it more than a hallmark movie
but i did but i don't like the beginning i
told rachel that to me it felt like there
was a different director for the first half
and for the second half because the first
half of the movie i like really did not like
i was about to stop watching it like i was
like i can't watch this it's so bad it's so
bad i don't know if it was the shots that
they were getting but it was definitely the
acting too like i felt like it was the most
acted out thing i've ever seen like it did
not feel natural at all it felt super forced
to me and the beginning kind of just seemed
super predictable i guess in the second half
is where the acting seemed to get better there
was less predictability even though like you
could predict certain things that were going
to happen and i just felt like it was more
beautiful towards the end too i don't know
like i really felt like the first half and
the second half didn't match up did you feel
that way at all no i was worried that when
you had told me that that the second half
was gonna just plummet because i was obsessed
with the beginning but i will say that the
acting suffered to an extent until the two
love interests like meet up with each other
that was where i thought it kind of got better
because i thought the two of them played off
each other so well their chemistry was unbeatable
i literally could not stop smiling if i just
saw them on the camera screen or on the on
the screen together i was obsessed with them
i also there's a little part of me that like
probably would have been obsessed anyway because
the main guy the guy who plays jonathan is
an old degrassi actor from like season one
of degrassi next generation we have for any
of you watching craig manning who iconic but
jake epstein plays him and when i i i literally
picked this movie right i saw the poster didn't
even realize it was him until i see on my
screen flash across jake epstein and i went
hold the phone craig manning is one of the
most iconic characters in this series and
he does not put anyone even remotely close
to who he plays in degrassi but just having
him on my screen was joyous and i kind of
liked that both him and christy like while
they're like good looking i would say that
they don't fall under the super average right
yeah i was gonna say like though that they
don't fall under the hallmark like hot people
i don't know stereotype because jake epstein
i wouldn't say is like the hot guy but i think
it's like he's not ugly at all but like his
personality and everything just like makes
him like way more attractive than any of the
other people that could have been in this
movie yes personality is a big thing i was
just telling my mom the other day that someone
can like literally be the hottest person you've
ever seen and then they start talking and
you're like wow you are ugly because personality
is a big thing obviously it's important to
find someone physically attractive if you
want to be with them but if they got a shittay
personality then no and i will say his personality
is good yeah and going off of like the shittay
personality which i love i'm obsessed with
that now can we talk about christie's current
boyfriend peter
i'm sorry i need to see where i wrote down
about him like my i wrote something why was
she in a relationship with him for so long
like she can't i guess you could have been
like blinded by it for that long but he he
really was masking his a-wholeness yeah i
i wrote down i guess straight cut i just boyfriend
is an ass i don't like him he and so the other
day i heard someone say something they just
got out of a toxic relationship and they were
saying that um sometimes when you're in a
toxic relationship that person makes it feel
makes you feel like it's your fault for everything
that's happening or like you're the person
causing the problems in the relationship and
i wonder if that's how she felt or i don't
know both of their relationships are a really
good example of people want to settle sometimes
like they're just like oh well i'm 30 i should
be getting married i'm with this person let
me just get married to them but it shows that
you shouldn't settle and you deserve to be
happy and to have all your boxes checked because
he's uh i don't like it he is trying to skip
holidays to go watch games with his guy friends
and he's like doesn't care about her at all
he comes over to her house when you assume
that he's like trying to be nice bring her
dinner and like bring her coffee because she's
gonna be up working and then he's like oh
yeah the cable stopped working so i can't
watch the game at my place so i'm just gonna
watch the game here don't ask like he had
just been like hey babe the cable's out at
my place can i please come watch the game
there's a chance she would have said yes i
know she's working late but also like bars
exist like go watch at a bar i don't know
yeah he comes across as like this nice guy
and i didn't like him at first because the
first time we meet him he's like working out
while she's like telling him like this great
news or whatever and i'm like okay but he
could just be a gym rat like whatever you
know but i was like okay vibes off doesn't
pass the vibe check and then he comes over
and he like brought her dinner he had a coffee
for her and i was like okay maybe he is actually
sweet and i just like judged him too soon
and then he turns on the freaking game and
was like oh yeah the cable's out of my foot
like you came over here under the guise of
we're going to hang out babe and i care about
you and i bet you're hungry after working
so hard and then gets her a coffee that she
doesn't even like and was like bro you are
just being a jerk you are just being selfish
you are self-centered brat yeah and like christy
had been set up with her work stuff in the
living room on the coffee table in front of
her couch and he like comes in and takes over
the couch and has the game going loud so she
has to move all her stuff and it's like working
at the dining room table all by herself while
this game is blaring in the background and
i know he's just really inconsiderate and
rude and and he lies to her which is not a
good sign obviously and at one point the dad
said something like i don't remember the boyfriend's
name because he's not important enough to
remember his name but the dad says something
like oh is he working out or is there sports
on and christy was like probably both and
he's like yeah probably both because the dad
knows how predictable this is and so i guess
i wonder if the parents too had said something
to her before and she's ignoring it or if
they were just trying to let her figure that
out all by herself yeah which i mean i think
is fair because i know my parents said that
they did that with my high school boyfriend
was like she'll figure it out you know in
the end you know like if i was like about
to be getting married i'm sure they would
have stepped in and been like maybe rethink
this just a minute but you know they let that
play out and just see what happens because
with some kids if you tell them all the things
that you hate about like the person that they
are with they're just gonna like double down
right or like get worse that would have been
me mom i know you're listening to that and
you see that like for sure if i brought someone
home in high school and my parents didn't
like them and they told me that oh i would
have made it a point to be with that person
as long as i could have married now actually
yeah i'm being like yeah getting married and
then jonathan's girlfriend is less so like
she's bad in a different way than peter is
so she's also kind of selfish but i mean i
can understand you're meeting the parents
for the first time you want your significant
other to like get christmas right because
it means a lot to your family i get that totally
but when he brings christy out to a restaurant
with him and heather to teach her about some
of the foods that they eat she has latkes
and these jelly donuts that are called i wrote
yeah yeah so just so you guys know if i pronounce
these things differently i work for someone
who is jewish so i do know about jewish stuff
but she does pronounce things differently
like she calls them lot-keys instead of lot-kuhs
and it's sufen-yacht instead of soften-yacht
or whatever so obviously there's different
pronunciations of things but yeah and so they're
at the restaurant and they're eating and right
before christy is gonna eat her latke um jonathan
is like oh no you have to try it with sour
cream like it's so amazing and heather's like
isn't this religion like so random and like
things like that and like had said that again
and then there was some maybe it was for the
latkes where she says it again that it's so
random and jonathan's like no it's just traditional
you know like kind of trying to defend himself
but like not taking a lot of offense outwardly
about it but she'll say things like that as
if christmas isn't freaking random you know
what i mean like just like the non-religious
versions of the traditions of like christmas
caroling and like you go and build gingerbread
houses like what does any like you know i
mean like how random does that sound if you
have no idea about anything christmas related
you put up a tree in your house like that's
weird like you know what i mean is that you
let a man come down a chimney into your house
right like there are weird things about every
tradition every holiday every religion so
it's just because you're not used to it and
it's different from what you believe in and
what you know and i don't know it was i was
glad when he told christy that she broke up
with him apparently they were moving too fast
or something and i think she knew that it
wasn't gonna be a forever thing but when christy
and heather met up at the coffee shop i think
it was and christy was like oh yeah everyone's
going to love jonathan when they meet him
like your dad is going to be obsessed like
going to love him and that put heather in
like a francie of like oh god i don't want
that because it's gonna be harder to break
up with him later you know so i think she
just wanted the perfect boyfriend to like
bring home to her parents for the holidays
or something i don't know she needed a holidate
but okay speaking of the food and that boyfriend
so christy makes lot-keys lot-kas whatever
you want to call them homemade and then she's
trying to have him eat them and he just like
disregards and he's like you like gross i'm
not going to eat that and then at a different
point at a restaurant he's talking about how
he's trying to eat keto which honestly that
well i guess maybe not exactly it wouldn't
fall under keto because there's still carbs
but then at a whole different part of the
movie he's making this giant smoothie i mean
the biggest smoothie you've ever seen which
is loaded up with fruits and vegetables which
is the exact opposite of keto because that
is all carbs honey all carbs i mean there's
some protein but keto is like just fat and
protein but so he uh isn't even following
his own rules i don't know but he is so annoying
like i am shocked like when i see people in
this type of relationship in movies i'm just
questioning like how did you get to this point
you know and like maybe it was meeting jonathan
that really showed her like oh wait i can
be with someone who's kind and sweet and nice
and you know not an a-hole weird weird or
like i wish sometimes these films i think
heather's a better example of it because she's
not obviously horrible right like she's particular
and she has some like snide comments that
people can and should take offense to if you
know someone's degrading your traditions and
stuff like that but it's not like she is like
anti-semitic you know like she's not coming
across as like this horrible person she's
just toxic in a different way which i like
the nuance of it better you know than peter
but we kind of need both because if both of
them were like just a little off we wouldn't
be like rooting for them to break up so drastically
i just wish sometimes these movies would go
more with the heather type of significant
other one thing that's interesting is that
christy goes to well i don't know what it's
called i can't remember but it's the store
that jonathan's grandma owns it's a hanukkah
store and when jonathan brings christy in
there like the grandma's saying oh is this
the girlfriend or whatever and obviously if
it's serious enough that you're going home
for the holidays with someone like you would
think you would have met the family by now
i don't know like i don't assume i guess the
dad was gonna be meeting him for the first
time that seems so terrible like i don't know
the first time meeting someone a katrina my
brother's current wife well hopefully only
wife um when they when they first wife and
his first wife hopefully last they're about
to have a baby when i guess she met like the
majority of the family it was on thanksgiving
but it wasn't like that was the first time
she met the parents so i don't know like there's
another dad like is he come from out of town
because that would make sense because i mean
jack didn't need my parents for a long time
only because they live in north dakota and
we're in georgia but they still didn't meet
like on christmas you know what i mean but
did you guys ever like call your parents and
like they talked to a couple of times but
not a lot maybe like twice you know yeah weird
i guess but they came over for right before
graduation and like finally met like in person
so no it wasn't the holiday though i've even
like met a lot of you know jack siblings and
stuff before that you know and before any
holidays so very weird that unless he lives
like states away there's no excuse you know
what i mean right but for jonathan's girlfriend
heather she clearly like lives where he is
and the grandma lives there too so i don't
understand why they haven't met yeah that
was weird i love tova though that's the tovas's
the grandma she's so sweet she's just like
crazy and like the i don't know she's the
grandma and she is just like obsessed with
jonathan and like knows what's best for him
doesn't take any crap you know what i mean
like she's amazing like the type of person
you want your family that doesn't like sugarcoat
anything like lets him make his own decisions
but like will kind of insert herself a little
bit and be like oh this is the girlfriend
i hope you know like saying that like multiple
times can we talk about christy johnson's
first meeting though okay so they meet for
the first time in a coffee shop and christy's
ordering her coffee drink that she likes which
is like a pumpkin spice latte cold brew hot
120 degrees no whipped cream i mean it's a
long it's a long order it's very very specific
is how i would say it it's like half pumped
for i don't remember it but he makes a point
to say something like oh well like some of
us have places to be like you're definitely
getting extra whipped cream on that and she's
like what do you mean and he's like you're
definitely getting extra whipped cream on
that implying that her order was too much
or too extra which i am a believer that if
you go somewhere and you're ordering something
you should get exactly what you want because
you are paying for what you are ordering and
you know that's just how it is so that was
rude of him to say that and then we find out
like 10 seconds later that he's the teacher
and so they're not getting along and i don't
know like that to me was like the worst acting
it was the classic bad first impression in
any movie um but i loved it because they were
like nope we're both leaving we're not gonna
be here i thought that was hilarious and then
um there's like the apology muffin or whatever
and she like wouldn't apologize back to him
which i mean i don't know she was rude i guess
like back but he kind of started it so if
that was funny i thought it was just funny
and cute and like fits the trope of the type
of movie that it's being so that's what i
love
the funny thing is before they made that be
a point that that was like a extra drink order
or like a big drink order the first time she
ordered it i wrote down coffee order hella
extra like that it's like wow also can we
please talk about so she does an advent calendar
she's eating candy in the morning she doesn't
even brush her teeth in the morning i hate
that so she might brush her teeth in the morning
after she eats the chocolate yeah but why
not before i don't get not brushing your teeth
before you eat something in the morning because
well i use a tongue scraper too it gets out
the bacteria you overnight your bacteria is
coming out of your body onto your tongue okay
that's fine you're if you drink something
you're just eating that bacteria right now
my immune system you're good so
here's why you're wrong hannah you brush your
teeth and then you put stuff in your mouth
which is like just dirtying your mouth again
it's not bacteria but it's like makes your
teeth feel gross and you're tasting the toothpaste
and everything actually i don't because i
drink a bunch of water before i i brush my
teeth i drink 32 ounces of water you're supposed
to let the you're not supposed to rinse and
you're not supposed to have water for a little
while after you brush your teeth because all
the stuff that the cleaning isn't the brushing
part did you know that people listening the
brushing part is just like getting stuff off
and out of the crevices and then the toothpaste
is supposed to like like don't have like toothpaste
sitting on your teeth obviously you can spit
and stuff like that like do that please don't
keep everything in your mouth that's disgusting
but the people who like rinse afterward like
that's actually bad for your teeth because
the fluoride and stuff is supposed to like
activate for a couple minutes like after you're
done which is true but not everyone uses fluoride
toothpaste because one there is fluoride in
your tap water so it depends on your teeth
and two also i brush my teeth before and after
breakfast i'm one of those gotta get all the
bacteria out from overnight out of your mouth
so you're not eating it because once i already
stayed at you and then after you have your
breakfast then you got to clean your teeth
and then you don't have water for a while
so your toothpaste works it's the best of
both worlds how many times a day do you brush
your teeth three okay that's not that bad
i was gonna say there are people who brush
your teeth like six times a day and that's
actually like way worse for your teeth than
like anything then like not brushing every
day you know what i mean like if you brush
your teeth every other day it's better than
brushing your teeth like six to ten times
a day because you're like degrading your teeth
like the stuff can be that's true that's what
it is like you're gonna have degrading teeth
either way but it's better than like self-inflicted
well and i would say that mine's technically
twice because my toothbrush has a timer that's
two minutes and before breakfast i brush them
for one minute and after breakfast they brush
it for one so that's technically once a timer
yeah i have a sonic hair so like after 30
seconds it goes and so you're supposed to
switch from the back side of your teeth to
the front side of your bottom teeth to the
back side of your front to the front of your
front or top and so you know it's 30 30 30
30 so before breakfast i do one minute after
breakfast i do one minute and then at night
i do the full two minutes so it's really the
four minutes i'm supposed to do every day
it's still questionable it's questionable
as questionable as eating food before you
brush your teeth i hate that i hate that yeah
but you're also like the scaredest of germs
now that's not germ it's like literally look
it up your body overnight the bacteria your
body wants to get rid of so that you're like
not gonna get sick or whatever is in your
tongue okay so i don't care if you don't brush
your teeth at least use a tongue scraper before
you eat get the bacteria off your tongue and
then go eat go i will say jana's blog got
me to buy a those tongue scrapers i will say
you i have been influenced hannah's an influencer
i can't help it you know so just try that
and then and then see because bad breath is
not your teeth it's your tongue and the bacteria
in your tongue so and bad breath sometimes
is not your fault it can be an infection and
if you have chronic bad breath please go get
that checked out by like a dentist or a doctor
depending on or it could be medication you're
taking as well yeah that dries out and that
is dental hygiene 101 from rachel and hannah
wow
oh my god don't forget to floss since we're
talking about it we're professionals
although her advent calendar is like extra
like that had to have cost a hundred dollars
or more like it is like a homemade letter
handmade wooden box like with drawers and
she's got these like cute little things that
she hangs up on them to like remind her of
what's going it's like her own planner even
like it's crazy i have like one of those little
paper ones that jack's family gave me that
you know you just opened the doors there's
not candy in it which i was like rude just
kidding but uh it's cute and i like it's hanging
up in my room right now so here's my advent
calendar oh my gosh hannah where'd you get
it um this place called non-existent oh my
gosh sounds super bougie it is i can't even
imagine how much that cost for people who
are just listening and not watching um hannah's
just waving at thin air there's nothing there
i think i had one as a kid growing up yeah
that sounds about right i feel like ours had
drawers but i could just be completely having
an aneurysm or something too and i'm just
remembering wrong but for some reason i feel
like i remember something with drawers with
this like lesson teaching that happened with
jonathan and christy there were times that
they noticed that they had very similar reasons
for their traditions you know like giving
gifts for specific reasons or helping out
in the community like one of it was the jonathan
was selling like fruitcake and other types
of desserts at this place called tinseltown
for his history class um i don't know if they
like go on a trip or something but they fundraised
for whatever reason and christy was actually
going to like suggest some sort of volunteering
thing as well giving back to the community
because that's a huge part of holidays and
another one was like spending time with your
loved ones but i don't remember like what
exactly it was that they were doing in the
film i was too busy just gushing about how
much i loved it that i wasn't paying attention
to a lot of the specifics so sorry but my
favorite thing was every night they would
light the menorah at sundown and it was really
sweet because she was also speaking in hebrew
while she was doing it and he would like gently
correct her on a pronunciation and it was
just like very sweet and gentle and kind and
just it you could tell the like bonding experience
there i don't know it was like a really deep
moment there that i thought was sweeter than
almost any of the other things that they did
just her you know getting more and more confident
as she lit the candles and was saying the
phrases and stuff that you have to it was
so cute
i really like how open they are to learning
about the others holiday and traditions and
not viewing it as something that's weird but
they like genuinely want to know what's happening
and that is one of those things lighting the
menorah and there's eight days of hanukkah
if you don't know and you light the eight
days candles with the helper candle known
as the shamash and that one's in the middle
and you start on the right side of the menorah
and then you light one every night and you
do it after sundown because the holidays for
all jewish holidays actually start at sundown
the night before the holiday so that is a
cool little fact to me i really liked this
movie that has hanukkah in it because i get
to work with a family who is jewish and they're
jewish and christian actually so they they
celebrate what they call christmukkah and
maybe christie and jonathan when they get
married and have children will have christina
with their kids but i just really liked seeing
it in a movie because i have to imagine the
person i work for growing up they're weren't
really movies about hanukkah i mean i don't
know this is the first movie i've seen about
hanukkah or heard about hanukkah so i can't
imagine that there's a whole lot but i do
know there's lots of christmas movies and
it seemed like jonathan had seen christmas
movies before so you know obviously even though
he's jewish he's seen christmas movies and
knew some about christmas but christy literally
had no clue about hanukkah and i feel like
sometimes in america if it's not christian
then it gets thrown behind or like it's not
as important if you're not white and christian
then what are you doing you know got kicked
out no it definitely had that is definitely
the vibe i feel and it's like hallmark could
make a ton of hanukkah movies and people would
watch them if they just followed the same
dumb structure of like falling in love at
a stupid time and like you're going back to
your old hometown like hanukkah and christmas
both have like hardcore traditions and people
think that they have to like include like
oh we we went to israel and like all this
stuff like you don't need to include that
stuff because not everyone who celebrates
hanukkah is like super traditional and hardcore
you know in their beliefs just like everyone
who celebrates christmas isn't like that either
you know of like we have to go to midnight
mass and we have to you know do all of these
things like that is not a thing that everyone
does so just like learn about it and like
i said just follow the structure of a hallmark
movie people will eat it up just like i did
with this movie and i loved learning about
the stuff along the way like when they talked
about why it's eight days it wasn't a romantic
moment it wasn't like a funny moment like
it was just serious like just him telling
christy about the reason behind it and it
was like a little history lesson it was wonderful
and i loved the moment in general it just
felt so honest and real and i needed it you
know like in that movie yeah i like the learning
aspect in it and how you said that it's not
like a special moment or whatever it just
like is literally for learning and as i already
said i like learning more or just seeing it
in the movie because it's fun to me too because
at the same time i've been able to teach the
little girl my nanny because we read hanukkah
books that she has and i'm like oh yeah like
this is that and to me for me to be able to
see it in a movie too big oh yeah like that
is how this happens or yes the maccabees come
and then they had the oil for the candle and
it was supposed to last one day but it lasted
eight and it was a miracle and even though
that wasn't my holiday growing up it's still
been really cool watching it and then i've
been living it with a child and currently
tonight will actually be the start of the
eighth day of hanukkah or eighth night of
hanukkah in real time not when you're listening
to this or watching it but today the day we're
recording so it was just cool that it lined
up at the same time too can we talk about
christmas traditions they're talking about
which i'd say most of them are true but for
fruitcake some people still do that okay i
will say um my roommate he's from india and
they call it like plum cake i think but it's
just the same thing or it's very very very
similar what is it but it's just looking it
up they made it seem like it was a very very
traditional thing um it isn't all of that
i have never once encountered a fruitcake
in my life they're like it's just like dried
fruit in a cake and it's kind of like bready
like it's not like a sugary cake you know
what do you mean that you'd have for your
birthday it's like like banana bread i feel
like but with fruit in it right it says fruitcake
is cake made with candied or dried fruit and
nuts and spices but it's in the united kingdom
i guess normally or certain versions may be
iced and decorated but this fruitcake that
i'm seeing a picture of it has like red and
green gels in it and let me see i don't know
like
you know like it doesn't look appetizing is
that the thing that everyone says is like
super heavy probably is that what those are
yeah i think it's because people make a joke
i think because i watch the great british
bake off or baking show or whatever it's called
but it's one of those mandela effect things
um and i think you need a heavier cake in
order to like hold the fruit and stuff like
that so that's why it's not like a light birthday
cake that you normally get because otherwise
all of the stuff would just sink to the bottom
so that's probably why it's dense and if people
make it improperly it's going to be nasty
that makes sense but if we're being honest
i didn't ever like cake so i just can't imagine
that a fruitcake that's more dense i would
enjoy so i don't know yeah i never was a cake
eater can we talk about the night they were
wrapping presents oh yeah because that is
the best part of every hallmark movie or you
know romantic holiday movie is the almost
kiss which oh my gosh i literally was like
on the edge of my seat like my heart was fluttering
it was like i was about to have my first kiss
like type of moment like it they just hit
it so perfectly i loved it so much because
i think here's why i think i love these people
so much they're both very positive and i have
recently realized that i hate shows where
there's like a lot of like negative nancy's
in it if you've seen ted lasso people you
will understand that show they have like grumpy
people but it's still just like a positive
show where like almost everyone is happy all
the freaking time or like supportive of one
another and it's just so good so that's why
i think i like christy and jonathan so much
because they're both like very positive and
supportive people which i know i need in my
life because you don't want to be surrounded
by people who are always debbie downers otherwise
you're gonna get that energy and it's gonna
be toxic and ruminate and it's gonna be awful
so i think that's one of the reasons i loved
it so much because while it did seem like
the perfect relationship and like no is that
ever gonna happen where it comes across exactly
jonathan and christy's relationship no they're
gonna have a fight they're gonna disagree
about something but i think i just needed
to see like oh yeah positive like relationships
happen on tv or happen on movies and stuff
like that because you don't always see that
and i know it's because it's more realistic
but sometimes you do need that like suspension
of disbelief no i agree and i don't but it
also felt like awkward because at this point
they were both dating someone so i was like
ah no no no and okay christy goes to his place
and he's just been dumped and she walks in
and like she doesn't even notice how he's
like wrapped inside of a blanket and then
she does come in and then she's like wait
is something wrong and he's like i've been
dumped or i don't remember what he said but
that part was funny another part that i thought
was funny was when he had parsley hanging
from the ceiling instead of mistletoe and
you think they're gonna kiss but then she's
like um just for future reference that's parsley
not mistletoe and then she walks away and
she's like let's go to a party that was comedy
gold
but also she invites him to her family christmas
eve eve dinner which by the way is required
no exceptions and friggin peter's like i can't
make it shut up peter you can make it get
off of this freaking high horses oh the holidays
i don't like them then get out then leave
peter the door is right there just go i hated
that like you know it's important to your
family or like your potential like future
family and it's like okay i understand if
they were like sacrificing a freaking goat
you know like you're like uh then that's important
to them maybe that's not for me and you know
i got a i got you know a work dinner to go
to you know that night i understand it's freaking
christmas eve eve you have dinner you've got
games there's like apparently a white elephant
type gift exchange like it's not that hard
just put up with it it's not like they're
making you go to church or whatever things
like you don't just like you don't agree with
he's just grumpy i'm sorry i keep getting
distracted because there's this little tiny
bird overnight we got about six inches of
snow and it's like really fluffy snow and
there's this little tiny bird that is like
taking a quote-unquote bath in the snow and
it comes and lands in it and starts fluffing
it around like you're so cute it's so fun
i wish that yes if your future family has
something that's important to them you know
try to appreciate and if you feel like you
can't do that then maybe that family and that
person's not for you maybe that's like a really
clear-cut sign that that's not for you or
if you feel like you have to change your partner
and um set up a freaking job interview for
them because you think that that's the job
for them maybe that's not the person for you
oh my gosh that was so annoying it's like
you know how excited she is for this pitch
at the toy company and he's like you need
to get that promotion so you can leave it's
like but doesn't your that made no sense i
don't know who these writers were what they
were thinking because if i got a promotion
and then like left to go to another company
like they know that i'm only gonna have that
promotion for one day like i haven't actually
done anything in that leadership position
yes i've proven myself to be able to have
that position or earn it but that doesn't
mean that i'm going to be good in that position
i don't understand and then it's like for
some like bank oh want to work at this bank
so we can be rich dear no yeah and then he
always is saying how like no one's sorry the
birds back no one's happy in their jobs and
like it's all about money basically and she's
like well can't we like live our life right
now or something he's like babe this is so
dumb like obviously we're not even gonna start
living our life till the future which that
is just this whole weird-ass concept some
people have like oh in the future i'll do
this in the future i'll do that guess what
your time is right now you're not guaranteed
the future so all the time you have is current
time and if you're unhappy in this moment
like change something now and do things now
don't be like when i retire i'll go travel
travel now yeah and it's like all these people
it seems to be like businessy people too that
have this mindset of like i look if it's for
like one or two years i can understand like
the grind but then like hopefully you get
to a place that you like but it shouldn't
be like oh yeah after 45 years of grinding
i'll be retired and rich it's like but will
you be happy by the time you're rich and retired
like you're gonna want to like freaking bang
your head against a wall every single day
is it worth it i don't think so that's why
you know don't stay at a job longer than you
feel is like necessary or you feel is like
good for you because it's just gonna harm
you more than help you yeah and you'll regret
it um anyway i feel like we've went off on
a lot of spiels in this movie we didn't even
touch on everything but honestly i think everyone
should go watch it it's a good movie um if
you're like me and you're watching it in the
beginning and you think the first half is
just not great just like listen to me wait
for the halfway point it gets better it's
on tubi tv which is a free app you don't even
have to create an account which i'll include
i'll include the link in the description of
the videos or the podcast so that you can
find it because it i don't know i don't understand
like how to get through tubi tv i just like
googled holiday movies and it came up and
i clicked on it and it was a free link and
i was like holla yeah if you have firestick
tv i have one of those and i just downloaded
the tubi app on that and then i looked up
mistletoe menorahs and there it was it's as
simple as that you will have to watch ads
so sorry but who cares it's worth it um otherwise
though i say if you want to find out a few
extra details about that movie you should
go watch it yourself because the ending's
especially good yes i will say they kiss anyway
it's so good me too i may be screamed just
don't worry about it i was like that's my
pretty standard reaction so i just love love
hannah when i see straights i don't know i
can't help it i'm like you're like cringed
oh god okay never mind they're just they can't
help the way they were born they can't help
