Happy Christmas, Eica, Merry Christmas, Paul. That's right. The War
on Christmas is not happening here. No, no, we are fully entrenched.
We're on team Christmas over here. I'm five egg nogs deep and I
am a loyal Christmas soldier. Absolutely, you're on the front line. Yeah,
I'm two viewings of a Christmas story and five egg nogs deep and fourteen
pieces of pie. I will never forget when that woman in that store told
you Happy Holidays and you scalded her with your hot coching. Oh, I
did throw it right in her face, you phantom with the operator. I
was like, it's Christmas, you bitch. You know there's nothing I love
more than the scent of a pine in a living room. And don't give
me any of those car freshener pine cents. I want the real thing.
I need, real pine. I need murdered trees dragged into my house,
and the more dead trees in my house, gasping their last puffs of odor
into the air, the better. I'll never forget that time someone tried to
sell you a fake Christmas tree and you rammed it through them like a battering
ram. That's right. I skewered them with it, bob them with the
pine tree. I actually grew the strength of the Hulk in that moment and
killed them and killed them with that fake bal some wood that they tried to
they tried to peddle you. And that is why I am a loyal Christmas
soldier. Hey, I'm Paul America and this is that aged well Noell edition.
That's right. We're your little your little elves on your shelves. Seriously,
turn around. We're sitting right behind you right now, looking at you,
little miniatures of us in ceramic. You don't see the face Paul is
making. It is terrifying. It's like my Carol Channing face but worse.
Yeah, that's it. That's watching you while you sleep. Merry Christmas,
everyone, Merry Christmas. You may not have been expecting this episode, because
we did tell you that we were going to be gone for two weeks,
but we do have a little Christmas present for you, the listener. That's
right, we're here to stuff all your stockings stuff on. So good.
Did you do you have a favorite Christmas present that you know you're going to
get in the future, because obviously we're recording this before December twenty is a
full month before Christmas. Yeah, so what's in the air for you?
What do you see coming? I have to say, I think my favorite
gift is going to be from my cousin Costanza. You're closed. I have
wonderful gifts every year, and this year she is going to give me the
the albatross that hit Fabio in the face, that one on the on the
roller coaster. Oh, we found the albatross that that did that and she
had it all on Norman Bates and she's believing to me for Christmas. So
that is there's so many levels to that gift. I love that there's pop
culture, there's taxidermy. Yeah, and to source the albatross, yeah,
very difficult to find the albatross the one. Yeah. Yeah, I'm really
looking forward to. I think that my neighbor is going my neighbor adores me,
like we're very very close, and my neighbor Eduardo is going to give
me. I think I think it's a unicorn. I've seen it wrap and
it's hard to keep wrapped because it keeps moving obviously, and it's it's a
very telling shape, right yeah. But but to even for it for him
to get the unicorn, and then to wrap the unicorn and then to be
holding it, yeah, and waiting is really it's gonna put my husband to
shame. I'll tell you that. That's a big gift. It's a big
gift. You know how you can also tell it to unicorn in there it
keeps farting rainbows, and the rainbow seep through the wrapping unicorns fart rainbows that
smell like exactly exactly. That's how you know. That's the giveaway to look
for. And also magic and magic. You're right, yeah, absolutely right.
You know who else is rich is my uncle Rodolfo. He also gives
amazing gifts, so you know, okay, it's he loves to wrap them
up in like fun things, so you think you're going to get something and
then it's surprise at something else. So he's going to give me. You
know, those Danish cookies, those sugar Danish keys so delicious that we all
get. I'm not even joking. I fucking love those, like a tin
of those at Christmas. For some reason, like everyone in the United States.
I don't know if listeners in Denmark are aware. Every one of the
United States, for some reason gets a dish like a tin of Danish butter
cookies, and they're so good. I'm sure they're garbage to you, but
they're so good to be well delicious. What he does is he takes the
cookies out and he holds it up with the contents of the Queen Resture piece
of England's purse, you know that she used to carry out all He would
get that purse from me. Every year, he'd steal it right out from
Buckingham Palace. He'd empty the contents out. Every year I'd have to guess
what it was, what was in there before I opened it up, And
inevitably every year it's a fucking corky, just a whole corgy. It's a
corgie, a couple of words originals and a quasi use tissue. It used
tissue and a copy of the Magna Carta. Who would have guessed, guest.
You know, I'm really looking forward to I have this. I have
my aunt, my Aunt Gloria. I call her Glow, my aunt Glow
Okay, not related to Aunt Flow, Aunt Glow and Glow. Okay.
Yeah, I think she's getting me this because I saw it on I saw
I saw her Internet history and I saw her searching for it, so I
think she's she's she's sourced Emperor Hadrian's mummified penis. Wow. Yeah, and
so penis launched a thousand ships. Let me tell you that's right back.
And yeah, and the penis that enjoyed a thousand dicks, probably because Emperor
Hadrian famously homosexual, homosexual, homosexual, one of the world's greatest host sexuals.
Absolutely, So that's that's what we're getting. We hope the listeners got
as good as got as good as guests as we did. Yeah, we
hope so too. I really hope your family loves you as much as our
families love us. Yes, but we do have a little gift for our
listeners here today Erica. A little tradition that we do here right around the
holidays. We read all of the international reviews that we've gotten over the year.
Because it is prohibitively expensive for us to send these people tote bags,
so we don't read them over the normal course of the year. But we're
gonna read them all today. We're gonna bat them aun, we're gonna have
some fun. We're gonna say thank you. If any of these people have
a US address, that I can send their bag to. Please feel free
to reach out, let me know, and I will happily send that bag
to you. So do you want to read our first review? Erica?
Sure thing? This first review comes from the great northern state of Canada.
There's a couple of states I would like to exchange for Canada, just to
well, there's a lot of states I would exchange for. Most of the
states I would exchange for Canada. I've never been to Montreal, and I'm
not a huge traveler, but that is one place I would like to go.
Somebody here. It's great. Love Montreal. Here's the best part about
Montreal, and it's so cool. Full Nuod strip clubs, Full Nuon strip
Clubs is, yes, number one, the number one best thing about Montreal.
But number two is you will approach someone and they will start to speak
to you in French, and being a dumb American, I will say,
oh, I'm so sorry, I only speak English, and they will go,
oh, I'm so sorry and then continue to speak to you in English
and I'm like, no, no, no, you don't have to apologize
to me. But they will do it one hundred percent of the time because
they are Canadian and delightful. It is the land of polite French people,
the land polite French people. It's the food is fantastic. I love Montreal.
Hi, high praise. If any of you are from Montreal, congratulations
you live in one of the best cities in the world. All right,
I've only been there in the summer. I should mention that part. I've
never I've never been there in the winter, never braved as I think my
opinion might change slightly. So this first this first review is from high Fiving
is Hard. Do you remember that when we tried to high five? Yes?
I did, and we failed extensively. And it wasn't even like a
remote recording. We were in the same room. We were two feet away
from each other. More of these two please that Age Well is my go
to podcast when I'm in the mood for nostalgia, whichy repartee and laughs that
make me snort. Tune in for Erica's flawless Catherine Heppron impression flawless, Stay
for Paul's miss Piggy Noises of frustration. When a movie really didn't age well,
it's like rewatching your old school favorites. By the way, they spelled
favorites with a you. Thank you, Canada. That is the correct way,
all right, with your best friends offering hilarious critique and commentary. My
only request is more two parters or a Patreon that I can sign up for.
Hey, you got one, you got you got at least one of
your Yeah, I can't get enough of these wonderful too. PSA for this
review, do yourself a favor with a you and listen to that age dwell.
High fiving is hard. Thank you for making us feel good about our
physical our lack of basic hand eye coordination. Thank you for understanding that that
really was a hard moment for both of them. Ah, it was as
hard as when one of us tried to remember what the Pythagorean theorem was.
And yeah, I bet every single person who listened to that Wizard of Oz
episode could smell the smoke of our brains trying to crank out the Pythagorean theorem
at least and just failing at least two nerds through their computers against the wall.
Yeah, we lost listeners that day, my friends, we lost listeners.
So we have another We have another review from Canada. This is Amy's
movie Report ten out of ten movies We can't help but love. My sisters
got me hooked on this podcast, and I love my time spent with Erica
and Paul. The Cutting Edge episode was my first, so a likely always
hold a special place in my heart. Oh, Cutting Edge is a very
special place in mind. Yeah. We had a special guest for that one
and it was hilarious and awesome. Absolutely, they love and honor with a
you the movies of my youth, while bringing to the forefront the issues we
now see within them. This has written very well. This is grammatically accurate.
Ten out of ten. Pamchenko's ten out of ten lifts We've never successfully
done before, ten out of ten. Six fingered men, please tackle the
classic nineteen ninety two film Newsies so we can rank something ten out of ten.
Christian Bale Cowboy dance breaks. We really have to do New Newsy's a
big one. Yeah, do you know? Do you know I've never seen
Newsies? Never seen it. I didn't even I didn't even see the musical
when it was on stage. Here me never see the musical and Paul,
get hold under your butt? Are you ready? I've also never seen Newsiesoo,
oh my god, I see the seminal early Christian Bale film Swing Kids
about four thousand times though. Okay, so you've kind of seen news but
I've never seen Newsies. Yeah it's Newsy's but Nazi Germany. We definitely should
have done newsies during the sag after I and WGA strikes. I mean,
it's it's a it's a movie about about newsboys striking. If I'm not,
I believe that's what happens. Literally, no idea. Pretty sure I could.
This is hilarious, gonna be hilarious. I'm completely wrong, but I'm
pretty sure it's about newsboys striking against evil capitalists. Okay, cool. Shouldn't
they just be in school anyway? Well, look, let's not get crazy.
We don't need the lower classes being educated. We just need them working
for a quasi fair wage. Okay, let's let's go easy. Our next
Canadian review comes from m J K R C w R w dB. I
believe someone just put their accidentally put their Wi Fi password in. In honor
of our many Canadian listeners are brothers and sisters to the North, I'm going
to do this review in the voice of one of the greatest Canadians of all
time. Miscellanis Morissette. Oh, she's in the Canadian pantheon. He is
in the Canadian pantheon. Yes she is. Okay, here we go five
stars. I'm only writing a review because I don't think my five star rating
is sayving with that, and this show deserves the five reviews. Love the
show and the host. It's very funny and I highly recommend that was Okay,
you know what, I went into jone jet for a minute. There.
I'm sorry, I'm coming back. I'm coming back around to bring it
back. Come on back, bringing it back. Movie suggestions if you're taking
them, Richie, read The Mighty Dogs beautiful. I didn't know you had
such a flawless Alanis yet. Well, I can pull out an Alanis in
a in a pinch if I need. Do we know if it's a Lanis
or Alanis? I believe it's a Lanis, But that's just because I want
it to be sure like Jenny Americans, if I wanted to. If I
want it to be, then I believe it is true. What I like
about this review by m J k r c w R w dB. I'm
only writing a review because I don't think my five star writing is saving without
one, and this show deserves the five stars. Excellent. This is excellent.
I do not want to write this, however, haha, I am
this show is so good, very busy. Yeah, not only am I?
The actual alanis Morisseet. Yes right, this is a lotas more set.
Those are her actual moonlight as an air traffic controller, and I do
not have time for this. I have to land these planes, that's right.
Our final review from the Great White North is from John Abella eighty four
excellent. They write literally laughing out loud. Like many other reviewers, I
found this podcast in twenty twenty two through a date with Dateline. I needed
alternatives to my True Crime and The Bachelor recap podcasts, and I'm so glad
I found them. I'm grateful I work from home because the first few episodes
I listened to had me laughing like a maniac. From Ghost to Jawbreakers,
I literally couldn't breathe during funny Tongue Dane, Oh Dane. Most of us
can't breathe through Cunney tongue day. That's how. That's how excellent cuney Tongue
Dane is at being, whether you're the Daner or the Dany It's hard to
breathe for different reasons. I've been fully entertained as Erica and Paul review lots
of my childhood viewing catalog. I'm still hoping for Can Hardly Wait and City
of Angels just for the sole purpose of Paul's reaction to Nicholas Cage's performance love
It. Oh my god, I cannot endorse these choices anymore. First of
all, I genuinely love Can't Hardly Wait. I am positive it does not
age well, but I absolutely love that movie. Gotcha. And City of
Angels is one of the funniest all time movie deaths. Oh it makes me.
It's gonna make me laugh for twenty minutes. Everybody a scale of one
to meet Joe Black. How funny is It's not quite the by the way,
it's the same death as Meet Joe Black. It's someone not lucky and
getting hit by a car. That's your favorite, getting absolutely fucking pancakes a
sixteen wheeler. There's nothing funnier to you than someone getting hit by a car.
Always funny. I'm telling you, there's this Anne Hathaway movie where she
gets hit by a car and I can't every time. It's on TV.
I can't stop watching it, and I love Anne Hathaway, but it's so
fucking funny. This movie features Meg Ryan on a bike getting absolutely pancaked by
a sixteen wheeler because she's not looking where she's going. I wish, I
wish the listeners could see how happy Erica is that she tries to describe this.
She is actually read in the face from laughing so hard. And then
they cut to her after she's quote unquote died and Nicholas Cage comes down from
heaven to be like, oh no, this woman is dead and she has
like literally like one smudge on her cheek that's the full extent of her external
injuries after she got hit by let me check my notes, a sixteen wheeler.
I mean, we are due for another Nicholas Cage. You know,
I can handle like two a year. It's been a while. That is
a great Nicholas Cage. It's a really funny movie. Absolutely. We're now
heading away from the Western Hemisphere across the Pond to visit our brothers and sisters
over in Europe. Our first review, our first European review comes from Ireland.
Yes, I will not be doing the accent because I don't want to
get canceled. This review comes from Hilio excellent no notes on that name,
love it, no notes, favorite podcast. I've been a fan for a
long time and finally decided to leave a review in the hope of a tote
bag, which then they write, who doesn't love a good bargain? I
mean, really fair enough. I love the long episodes, interesting facts,
and the entertaining banter. I would love for you to do The Sweetest Thing,
Airplane and Nothing but Trouble. We have thought about doing all three of
those films, and we sure cover them. Don't worry, hallou, we
will. If you have a family member or someone you know who lives in
the States, we will happily send it to them and they can get it
to you. Yeah, all of any anyone who leaves these reviews. If
there's a way for me to get them to you without incurring like forty dollars
per bag, I will happily do it. I'm just trying to not make
it prohibitively expect. I also have this weird notion in my head that everyone
in Ireland has an American cousin. Everyone all of you have in America,
because I feel like every American has an Irish cousin. I think I do,
and I'm not even Irish, that's true. I definitely have an Irish
cousin, yeah, somewhere. I don't know them, but I definitely yeah.
I feel like every Irish person has at least one American cousin that they
can reach out to, all right, from from Ireland over over Asia,
all the way to Australia. Oh no, oh no, he's going to
do the accent, you guys? Is this from Dad? Three two one
two three, Hey, every hey, Hey, Aussie's out there. Put
your fingers on the cancel button. Don't push it yet, she get give
it a minute. Let's see, let's see how that is. I will
not inflict this on anyone anymore because I actually don't even know how to say
these words. Please, dare you just try a little, Just pretend you're
Nicole Kidman, do it? Okay, okay, we can be a magic
you come here, magic here. Even heartbreak feels good. Even heart break
feels good in a place like this. Hilariously fabulous. One of my favorite
podcasts. It's got everything nostalgia, witty hosts, and great chemistry. Fun
tangents and thoughtful analysis? Does an analysis feel like one of those words that
they would say differently in a different country, like aluminium alumina yah yah or
basil laboratory the Valentine. Sorry, back back to this flawless I thought I
was talking to Muriel for Muriel's wedding for a many Yeah, who I was
talking to interesting enough that I've listened to most episodes multiple times. Beauty Dead.
It's the perfect companion while I'm walking the dog or cleaning the Yes,
I got cocky at the end was that it's like it's like if Dave Judy
Dench fell and hit her head. Yeah, that's what I go for with
all of my accent work. I would like a lightly concussed to Judy Dench
please future Erica and Paul here with a hot off the presses update. Since
we recorded this episode and before we released this episode, we have received another
review from Australia. They love us down Under, they do down Under,
down Under down shrimp on the Bobby Oh, perfect Australian accent. Yeah,
so we've I've already. I didn't know I was doing this with Paul Hogan
today. Yeah, bowie knife with since I have read the first one.
I think you should read this next one. This next review from Australia Erica.
All right, I didn't know I was doing this with Russell Crow today.
Just hello, Hugh Jackman. I'm I'm not doing the accent. I
could feel the pressure. I'm not gonna do it. I'm simply refused.
I simply I'm saying no. Haha. This is from you WHO twenty two
and it reads thus. I hope you're both happy. Every time I watch
anything on TV, I have to make it known that well that has an
aged well no, people of color didn't pass the Bechdel test. My family
and my wife just tell me to shut up, and yet I refuse.
Good job. Aha. I am Australian and I demand my tote. Thank
you very much. Are you gonna send them a tote? I will if
they can provide me with someone to do it without a without a prohibitively expensive
shipment costs. Yeah. Do you have you WHO twenty two? Do you
have family in the United States so we can send it to who will then
see you during the holidays? Yeah? Any anything a friend that I can
ship it to. They continue. I really do love you both. Even
though you might be the death of my twenty year relationship. My parents said
the same thing to my brother and me. That's true. Yeah, yeah,
And indeed, the loving family that our kids are currently involved in.
I didn't know we were a weapon of master structing. I like that this
family has kids who are involved, so we don't have children. There's children
and they are involved. Yes, is the problem that you have brought into
my life. This is a fabulous review. Thank you you who twenty two
Yes, absolutely, all right, listeners, this is future future Paul.
Here a Paul even further in the future than the one we just heard from.
Because mere minutes before I was ready to upload this episode, would you
believe, another review came in from the land down Under from Australia. So
I'm here to read the final review that will be inserted into this episode,
I promise, because this is going up after this. So from Australia,
super Fly super Fly super Fleece wrote in and they wrote, the bit goes
on. The bit truly does go on, sometimes too long with us,
but yeah, I try to edit it to the right point, they write.
After Spotify told me I had listened to eight thousand minutes of the show
this year, and I had ignored Paul's pleas and demands for a five star
review, I decided I should actually write one. You know what, whatever
it takes, I'm not upset about that they go on. I'm not going
to lie. I haven't seen most of these movies and I don't care.
Paul and Erica describe them in such a way that watching the movie is unnecessary.
Truth. Truth. This delightful pair have mastered the yes and game,
making joke after joke until they land on the perfect one or are laughing too
much to continue. I have to say that I agree, and I'm sure
if Erica was here with me right now she would agree to Their unique rating
system just highlights it. The show is perfect. No notes. I'll be
waiting for my tote bag as I stare longingly at my international address. Truly,
if anyone has solutions, let me know. I would love to send
these off. So Superflies, thank you so much. You got it in
right under the wire for this year. All right now, we're going to
go back across the many oceans, back over to Great Britain. These next
few reviews are from Great Britain. Our first UK review comes from the best
name I know. I say this every time because I'm trying to be nice
to everyone and like, this literally is the best name I've ever read.
Bloody Wolves, Blue Inferno. I want to know everything. Is it a
band? Is it a pub? Is it a book series? I would
read a book series, the Bloody Wolves Blue Inferno book series. Is it
even safe word during sex? What is this? Bloody Wolves Blue Inferno?
Right? Joy? Full listening? I just discovered this podcast and have rattled
through so many I love the vibe of Paul and Erica's friendship so much,
nothing forced about it. You are our crew, I'd say, so,
this is our crew, but you all are so much nicer to us than
our actual friends. You have absolutely no idea how little positive reinforcement Paul and
I get from her friends and family. And when Paul laughs, it takes
me to a higher plane of pure joy. Oh that's so nice, so
nice. Well done to you both on keeping the show so light and refreshing
whilst still managing to outline why things haven't aged well. And please forgive my
being a dork in relation to an episode from nine on three years ago,
but I thought you might like to know that the Baby and Labyrinth went on
to be the designed supervisor for other Henson productions, including the Dark Crystal series
that Paul offered as a pellet cleanser. I love that so much. Holy
shit, Baby Wolves Blue Inferno, you just blew our fucking minds. Oh
my god, it's now you've changed it to Baby Wolves Blue Inferno, which
is now a tattoo I want. Yeah, apologies, it's Bloody Wolves Blue
Inferno. Okay, let me finish the review. Just kiss for the podcast
less So for a NEPO baby's career trajectory, that's a literal NEPO baby,
I give you a review five out of five stars. Bloody Wolves Blue Inferno.
Absolutely, these stars are blazing hot like an inferno, Like an inferno,
like a Bloody Blue Wolf inferno. All right. We also have a
review here from Davo one seven one one, and he writes my new favorite
podcast. There's that you again, favorite that you love? Yeah. Having
stumbled across this podcast a few days back, I've literally had nothing playing but
this absolute gem. I've binged as many episodes as I could over the weekend,
only work, bringing a halt to the proceedings on Monday, morning.
Ah. Paul and Erica have an amazing chemistry which really drives each episode along
adding plenty of laughs along the way. They also add some great color to
the movie or show they are discussing. The Meet Joe Black double episode literally
had me crying with laughter, just like Paul. Truly one of the best
podcasts around for the genre. That's the second Meet Joe Black time. Meet
Joe Black has come up in this Christmas episode. Yeah, that's because Meet
Joe Black is truly one of the epically terrible films of a generation. I
almost want to wait like three years and just do Meet Joe Black again,
just redo it. We should just do a whole year where we just do
scenes for Meet Joe Black. One. I've seen each episode. Oh,
don't worry, the episode will still be two hours long. Yeah, because
there's that much there, that much to discuss per scene. Our next review
from the UK comes from Keep It Upstairs. I love that. I don't
know why. I don't know what it is, but it's it's evocative.
It sounds like a very British isn't like keep It Upstairs? It's probably Yeah,
it's probably like brilliantly entertaining and insightful. I love this podcast. It's
my absolute favorite, and I recommend it constantly. It's entertaining and funny,
but also thought provoking. That's the whole thing. That's our whole thing.
Keep it upstairs, that's what we're trying to do. That's that's our whole
mo o here and I feel such pure joy each week. I discovered the
next episode will be on a film that I watched as an impressionable teenager,
which is most episodes. I feel like we got another gen xer over here.
Yeah, keeping it strong for me and the gen X category of listeners.
Yeah, unlike me, me the millennial and you the gen X Yeah
yeah, you you the spiritual if not factual millennial. Because someone you are
not actually a millennial. Someone someone sent us a like a Venn diagram of
gen Xers versus millennials kind of thing. The prevailing thing is like we are
actually in the middle, like we're in between. We're cuspy, we get
to choose. But but it was so clearly written by a gen xer,
because the gen X traits were like independent and you know, free thinking,
blah blah blah, Like the mallennial traits were like whiny, a horrible person
to be around. They like pink needs constant validation. Yeah, exactly,
and the gen xers were like and the only good generation. All right.
Our final review from Great Britain Erica comes from Paul D Underscore eighty four sounds
good like a DJ almost Yeah, yeah, it's probably your DJ cousin from
Ireland. That's right, probably, yeah. Paul D writes, so funny.
Been binging this podcast recently, so many great episodes. Erica is hilarious,
five star, no notes A. This is Paul Paul violence at all.
I love this review. Well, let me tell you something, Erica.
I compiled this for everybody, and we only have one review left,
and I'm looking forward to you reading it. Okay, here we go our
next review. Our last review comes from the great Land of Sweden, Sweden.
We like your fish. Some of us do Swedish fish. It's a
candy. Oh no, I don't like those either. We like your Abba,
Yes, we love your Abba. We love your dark crime novels,
yes we do. This review comes from I take Directions from Beaches. Okay,
okay, there is no better movie podcast. I listened to Erica's podcast
almost daily, which means I am now into multiple listens into every episode,
at least of the movies I have passionate opinions on. Erica takes you on
a journey every time, and she is the perfect tour guide, knowledgeable,
fast paced, no nonsense, with lots of laughter and lack of quote unquote
opinionated snobbery. Erica knows what she's doing, apparently trained at NYU, and
there's nothing she can't do. The editing she does so good. Edything she
does off the podcast is masterful, and so is her impersonation of Miss Piggy.
It makes me laugh every time. I've watched so many movies I thought
I would never come close to thanks to Erica. And even if the movie
isn't always worth the time, listening to Erica dissected afterwards certainly is and makes
it worthwhile. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. No notes,
Well, how do you feel? Scene frankly validated and scene Finally, for
all the hard work I put in, all by myself. Now, Erica,
I have to ask you, you do you know from whence this review
came? Why this happened? No, I just know they're obviously fucking with
you, because because for the many reasons that any listener would know, they're
obviously cooking with you. Yes, it's a good time. Why are they
fucking with you? What enemies have you made in Sweden? Their name is
I take Directions from Beaches? So I was like, what happened in the
Beaches episode? And I went to it and I turned on like the last
five minutes, and you announced the sweepstakes that anyone who wrote a five star
review that only mentioned you and never mentioned me. I believe your exact words
were, I'll, oh, I don't know, I'll have a conversation with
you. All record, I'll record your voicemail. Yeah, I'll do anything.
So I take for directions from Beaches? Is gonna have a Christmas present
from you? That's what Paul D Underscore eighty four was doing too. Oh
maybe, okay, okay, that is fucking amazing. Paul D Underscore eighty
four and I take directions from Beaches. First of all, thank you.
I feel seen, I feel heard. You understand that Paul is essentially garbage.
It's a real trash pan tratch panda. Paul is the is the the
anchor weighing me down, reach out toast. Please at that age, well
at Gmail and send us your like just reach us, let it, let
us know it's you on email. We will record something special just for you
on your voicemail, for your voicemail or whatever you want. I don't care
what you want, if you want, if you want the recording. I
I'm a lady of my words. You are, so please email us.

Yes, and everyone whose reviews we read today, please let us know if
there's some way that we can get you a tote bag. Actually, Paul,
I think we can mail to Canada. I don't okay, it's been
a minute since I've had to mail anything to Canada. But I feel like
they's just it's it's not like the it's not prohibitively expensive to mail things.
Oh, it's just a mail. I think it's you live in Canada and
we can just mail something to you. Feel free to reach out and say,
hey, dumb dumbs, just mail it to you. Hey, hey,
Americans who don't bother to learn about other countries. Now, if you
live in the Yukon Peninsula, it's gonna be hard. It's gonna be rough,

are closer than most of most other Americans in the US are to us.
