Hi, I'm Brandon. I love to be Christmas movies. I'm Dan and I despise to be Christmas movies. I'm Alonzo and to be real.

This is the whole my podcast.

Well, hello everybody. It's great to be back here on a Monday talking about another Christmas movie this week heading back over the to be.

We went to to be for the first time. Was that two years ago now?

I think the movie was two years ago. We did it last year. No, no, no, last year you were doing the 25 weeks.

Two years ago, it was two years ago, the the Groundhog Day one where the influencer was terrible.

Not terrible. Not terrible. To be to be said, say what you will say what you will. Alonzo happy to have you back. How are you?

Great. No, I'm good. I'm just I will never know what childbirth is like. I was going to say up front. I'm not trying to pretend that I would.

But the thing that they always tell you about how women forget how traumatic childbirth is or they'd never do it again also applies to writing books.

You forget. Yeah, this is your is this your fourth rodeo here doing this. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, are you never again? Do we have it on the record is never again?

That's what I'm thinking now, but obviously in six months, I'll be like, yeah, sure. What do you got? I'm stopping at four, but I come from a family with five kids and I don't know what to tell you.

Five books. My mom wrote five books. Five books. I get a free subset with it.

Oh boy, wouldn't that be the dream? Tell me about it. Tell you what?

When you have a week like you're having where you have a lot to do, do you get to mistletoe time machine and go, yes, or is it like do you keep putting mistletoe time machine off?

No, it actually becomes like a like it's a treat treat time is to shut my laptop and go sit on the couch and watch mistletoe time machine for 90 minutes.

Treat time. It's treat time. It's treat time. Let's talk about this treat mistletoe time machine originally dropped on to be on November 24th, 2022, and it went a little something like this.

The movie kicks off with a dad filming his kid back in 2008. Her band's squad 3D squad 3D squad 3D. They are amazing. This is a three piece band one person playing the keys with the drum machine, the other person playing the bass and a lead singer.

It's a classic bass, classic bass keys, three, three piece. It's amazing. And they're performing at this talent thing, and it's an absolute disaster. There's confetti cannons going off, there are buzzers, there's screaming in the crowd. They're vomiting. It is a awful, awful performance.

Fast forward 14 years, and it is clear that the girls are no longer friends. And I hate that as somebody who loves my friends. A friend is a friend forever. That's right.

But they're no longer friends. They haven't talked in years. So when Ashani goes home for the holidays, add her dad's request. She is shocked to find out one that her dad has some sort of sickness that she is confused by.

It doesn't look great. And also is shocked to find that her friends, Taja and my Ling, Me Ling, is it Tasia? Tasia, what did I say? Taja? Taja? Taja and Me Ling are there. Dad tricked them all. And they're going to come back together because...

The squad three is not together. What's the point of all of this? And so the girls take a walk at a Christmas market. Dad recommends this. He says, if you guys can't walk through the market and get back together, what's the magical market?
