| 0:00.0 | I'm Grace Parjani. Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening. Wherever you may be. Wherever you may be. Grace, it's our last episode of 2021. |
| 0:21.0 | Despite this year, which has arguably been fucking worse than 2020, as if that's possible. Did you have any highlights from this year? Anything that was awesome? Anything you're looking forward to in 2022? |
| 0:34.0 | Well, this was the second wedding for me in as many years, a pandemic-bride twice. So that was fun. It sort of sounded like I said, pandemic-pride, which is not something I'm proud of. But I meant to say pandemic-bride. |
| 0:47.0 | So anyway, yes, I was a pandemic-bride two times over. That was delightful. Honeymoon and Greece was delightful. But you know, I spent a lot of time in my home and not seeing a lot of loved ones, which was not ideal. |
| 1:01.0 | But I'm very grateful for vaccines. Got my booster. So I'm very grateful for that. I am also posted. Yes. Thank God. I'm looking forward to... You know what I'm looking forward to, Lisa? |
| 1:12.0 | I'll tell you what. I'm looking forward to discovering something for myself in 2022 that isn't productive, that isn't like leading to something that isn't like a hobby that I could maybe turn into something that I sell or work or something that's going to like make my abs pop or whatever. |
| 1:30.0 | I just want to do something that's like actively a waste of time and feel good about it. |
| 1:35.0 | Okay, well, that is like, that's a goal. That's for sure a goal. Like a craft, like a craft of some kind. If you can craft, but I have to tell you something, we're all a little bit type A. |
| 1:44.0 | It's like I started making jam. I'm like, it's just for me. And so the thing I'm proud of is that this year I've made like 14, 1500 jars of jam by myself with my fingers and my popcorn, my stoves. |
| 1:58.0 | And for 2022, I am hoping 2021 to me felt like the year where you always thought there was another shoot a drop and there always was. It's like just when you think it's going to be fine. |
| 2:12.0 | Something else happens. So I'm hoping just I don't know for fun. I can't say I had a lot of fun this year. So I'm hoping for some fun in 2022, but you know what's going to be fun. |
| 2:22.0 | Tell me I can't wait today's episode. Let's get to it. |
| 2:31.0 | Today I'm joined by Grace Parajani, Naomi, Ekparagon and Megan Galey to answer the following questions. Are holiday movies getting more progressive? |
| 2:40.0 | Is Fran Drescher the ultimate Christmas mom? What holiday movie can be defended in 60 seconds or less? All this and more coming up. |
| 2:56.0 | Okay, guys, now for the show. I'm shaking in my stockings and Caroline wrote that. So I had to say it. |
| 3:03.0 | I am so excited for today's episode because not only are we talking about one of my favorite topics Christmas movies. |
| 3:11.0 | We have an all star lineup today joining me and Grace first. She's a stand up. She's the podcast queen. She hosts. I love a lifetime movie and Megan fun of sports. It's Megan Galey. |
| 3:24.0 | We made it part of the way. Wow Grace, I have a list of hobbies. I could give you that are leading nowhere. |
| 3:44.0 | I need them. I need them. I want them mostly all I do. Are you a sports fan? Because boy is that a good way to time sports is great. And now though I've got fantasy football. |
| 3:55.0 | I've got survivor leagues. And so it's turned into something with stakes. That means something. And I love it. Don't get me wrong. But I'm looking for that thing that's meaningless. |
| 4:04.0 | Oh my gosh, cool wife. Listen, you guys next. She's back folks. Do you know what my Christmas miracle is? My Christmas miracle is that Naomi Egg Paragon is here to talk Christmas. |
| 4:21.0 | She's a stand up. She also hosts.
