Speaker 1 (00:00):
I Am all in Again.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh, let's just do Hi Am all in again with
Scott Patterson and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I Am All In Podcast, one
of the productions iHeart Radio Media iHeart Podcast Season two,
Episode seventeen with the one and only Candace Cameron Beret.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
We are going to be talking about dead uncles and vegetables.
Let me tell you something about Candace. She is actress
obviously you know, or as an actress entrepreneur CEO, and
she's best known for her roles DJ Tanner on the
(00:58):
sitcom's full Hole, Little Show you may have Heard Of,
eighty seven to ninety five and Fuller House. She's also
starred in Great American Family Channel productions and has two
Christmas movies coming out at the end of the year,
Another Sweet Christmas Coast starring Cameron Matheson and Timeless Tidings
of Joy co starring Natasha Beret her daughter by the way,
(01:21):
that is her daughter. Well that's quite lovely. Both films
are part of the fifth anniversary The Great American Christmas,
which returns to air and a stream beginning in October. Candice,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Thanks Scott.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Great having you were very excited, know you watched the pilot,
that you really aren't familiar with the show, because man,
you're insanely busy.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No, here's the thing, though, it's of course I know
the show right, like, it's hugely popular, and I remember
how popular it was back in the day. But it
started in two thousand, right, So I had had my
second baby in two thousand and then my third in
two thousand and two, so I was in the throes
(02:05):
of young, young motherhood. I had no time to watch television.
And that's probably the only reason why I wasn't captivated
and putting in for my TV every single week watching
the show.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I birthed a show, and I was on set
fourteen hours a day and had no time to watch television.
Just busy, Megan. Let's do a little synopsis. Luke struggles
with trying to juggle plans for his uncle's funeral and
his usual shifts at the diner, so Laurel and Rory
(02:39):
lend a hand at the restaurant. Meanwhile, new Farmers Market
opens across the street from Dosie's Market, sending Taylor into it.
Tizzy directed by Jamie Babbitt, written by Daniel Palladino. Let's
start with the DAR meeting. At the n Emily's hosting
her DAR meeting. At the end, She's does the tasting
(03:01):
of Suki's menu, and Suki tells Emily about her engagement
to Jackson. Candice, do you think you would get along
with Emily in real life?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It'd be a tough one. I've got to admit. I
feel very blessed that I have a great mother and
that I love and mother in law also that I
get along with, and then even my kids who are married,
you know, I have a great mother in law through them,
So I don't think i'd have a hard.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Time, right, How do you respond to people like Emily
who have these strong, domineering personalities.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I feel like you smile and you gnad a lot,
and you just let them say and whatever they want,
and then once you walk away, you're like, yeah, we're
not doing that. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Uh huh. So you don't see yourself or anyone else
in your family in Emily at all.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Gosh, I hope I don't see me in Emily at all.
That's in the first place, you got to self reflect,
right exactly. I don't I don't think I'm like her.
I know a few people like her, but not in
my immediate family. I'm great hard personalities to juggle.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Those, yeah, very much. So all right, let's go to
the funeral. Yeah, let's go to the funeral. Uncle Loui's funeral.
Luke asked Laurali for nine rooms at the end for
his family to stay for his uncle Louis funeral. He's
over his head, obviously planning the funeral. Laurali and Roy
offered to cover for Luke at the diner so he
can get some things done. Rory's frustrated that Jess isn't
(04:30):
offering to help out, which I found this particular storyline
with Rory man handling Jess particularly charming. Kennie, when your
life gets overwhelming, are you someone to ask for help
and try to handle it all yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I asked for help. I think I've become good at delegating.
But it happened as I got older, and then you
realize how great delegating is. Like, I don't have to
do everything, but but if you're a control freak or
a perfectionist, it's hard to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, what are you? I think? I think it's the same.
I think I used to be a control freak. Younger
got older. Delegate, Delegate, delegate, I think it's always you know,
that's the great lesson. One of the great lessons in
life is like, if you're going to attempt to be
a CEO or an entrepreneur or a leader, you know,
(05:24):
hire really confident people and just let them do their
thing exactly and don't look over his shoulder, don't do it,
and they will often come back with a result better
than you anticipated. I agree, you gotta let people do
their thing. Man. I think you and I have both
been in situations, maybe on set where there was a
(05:45):
showrunner who was a little overbearing, maybe and it was like,
this is going to be a long year, all right,
new farmers market. Taylor is furious. So this was this
was good stuff. This was really funny stuff. Taylor's furious
over the new farmer's market across the street from a
story feels stabbed at the back, but by all this
regulars shopping at this market. Have you ever witnessed a
(06:07):
local drama? Canis over a business competition?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I feel like I have on curve your enthusiasm. Not
I'm trying to think in real life, I don't know
that I have that was as dramatic. But I now
live in a smaller town. I used to live in La.
I've lived in La my whole life. But I'm now
in a smaller town, and now I see it like
everyone knows your business and you know everyone, and there's
(06:34):
such perks to it. But now, as I watched the episode,
I'm like, oh, I could totally see this happening now
in a small town, a little competitive, and you know,
everyone has their place within the town, and then when
that gets disrupted, it's jarring.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
All right, Do you prefer farmer's market at grocery store?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Both? I go to the farmer's market every weekend, but
you know I should. We shop every day, so I'm
always at the as you start every day every day
every day. We like fresh food, Like you open our
fridge and there's not much in it because I'm like,
what do I want to eat today?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Right? Right? Since you're entrepreneurial, what are some of your
favorite small businesses that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm a part of or just in general?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh yeah, talk about yours? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh? Oh, I mean, well, I don't know, it's all
I write books and I what else do I have?
I like any like a lot of women. I talk
about hair care and skincare, but a part of businesses
in that way. And but what what kind of small businesses?
(07:38):
I love? You know, I genuinely, being an entrepreneur, love
sty because that's where everyone gets to make what they're
passionate about, they sell it. It is a small business.
I love supporting small businesses in that way. So I
think that's cool and it's in my not bringing it
back to me. But in this mystery series that I
(07:59):
have called The Angels McGregor mysteries, like she's Ainsley is
this business owner and her store is like an Etsy shop. It's,
you know, a farmer's markets in a sense in that
it's all the local people and they do different kinds
of crafts. But she has a store that then tells
them all mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, all right, We're going to jump to Suki's wedding
planning here.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was so funny, so cute.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So she's with Emily having meetings. At the end of
plan Suki's wedding, Laura is annoyed with her mother's involvement
in the wedding plans, probably knowing that the price tag
is going to go way beyond, but Suki can deal
with and she warns Suki for entering Emily Land. You know,
it's like it's a scary place. Jackson expresses his concerns
(08:47):
to Lauralai about Suki's new extravagant and expensive wedding plans.
Laurala confront Suki and tells her this wedding isn't really her,
is it. Suki comes to her senses and calls to
cancel all those crazy plans. What was the wedding planning like?
For you canvas? Do you remember?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It was almost thirty years ago. I barely remember it.
But my son got married last year, and so let
me tell you, weddings are so stinking expensive. It's ridiculous.
I know everything's expensive these days, but compared to thirty
years ago, even it's like, you know, you want all
(09:30):
the a lot of few, you want all the things,
and even keeping it simple like Suki wanted. I'm like,
I don't. I don't know how you do that unless
it's like a backyard barbecue. But then it's the backyard barbecue.
It's not a wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Did your did your mother plan your wedding.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, I planned my wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You planned the wedding. Well, what was the most extravagant
thing that you had not the wedding.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I don't think I had. I think extravagant was that
we had a like a quartet at the ceremony that
was playing live and we walked down the aisle. I
think that was most extravagant.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And you mentioned your son lev recently got married. What
was your involvement in, like, in planning that wedding? Was
it stressful?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Very different being the mother of the groom versus the
mother of the bride. So no, there was not a
lot of stress. I was begging to be a part
of it more and more. I was like, please, let
me just lick the envelopes, let me lick the stamps.
I'll do anything. I just want to be a part
of it. But it was great, beautiful wedding.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Right. So, when it comes to planning a big event,
would you want Emily in your corner or would she
drive you crazy?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
She would drive me crazy. However, if I had all
the money in the world like Emily, I want her
on my team. I want her on my side.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You know what, Yeah, she'd get it done. Yeah, that's
what she'd be good at, right, exactly, All right, we're
going to town hall meeting. You ready, Let's go to town
hall meeting. Taylor demands a farmer's market to be shot
down because the permit for the business is not valid.
After the meeting, Luke chases down Taylor another World War
II re enactors and ask them if they will be
(11:15):
attending Louie's funeral. The men tell Luke they don't want
to go to the funeral because they all hated Louie. Luke,
it's angry with the men for not showing their respects.
Taylor calls him a defensive hothead, just like Louie. Do
you feel sorry for Luke? I did doing the right thing.
No one seems to care.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I know. I felt so bad for Luke in this
because how awful is it to know that you have
a family member and nobody's really told you that they
all secretly hate that person and don't even want to
show up at funeral. It was really sad, and I
felt for him, and yet very much understood his need
to want to honor his dad's wishes. So I thought
(11:57):
he made the right choice in honoring them.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I thought I was shocked to see Kirk standing with
those guys and saying, yeah he was at jerk, we're
not coming to your feet. It's a little weird.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It was a little harsh, it really was.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah. But I mean, if you want to Luke rant,
you got to do these things. I guess you know
a little bit of a rant anyway, Kennis, how do
you teach your kids to do the right thing even
when it's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh, that's the fear of there, that's the fear of God.
You know, it really is. It's kind of like, look,
you can you can make bad decisions, you can lie
to people, but at the end of the day, you
you're you might you might not see him right now
on earth, but you have someone to stand before and
you're going to give an account to that. So it's
(12:44):
you know, and it's not to guilt someone, but yeah,
I'm a woman of faith. It's reality and so that's
what I'm like, Yeah, just because someone else doesn't see
a God season, So just think about that when you're
making those choices.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
There you go Loui's casket. Luke calls Laurela I when
he can't close Louie's caskeap because all the things keep
he insisted getting buried with him. Luke says, I can't
deal with this anymore. It's not as if he deserves
my help or my respect. He was a jerk, and
he starts out, now, Luke's being a jerk. Really amazing
that they would make attempt to make this comedic. Do
(13:21):
you think they pulled it off?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They kind of did, right, Yeah, I mean I didn't.
I didn't. Yeah, it didn't bump me at all in
that way. However, I wanted Luke to grab all of
those baseball cards and go sell them at the post shot.
And I'm like, go put it into your restaurant or
put it into one. We're like, why you can give
him three quarters of the stuff. Just take the baseball
(13:45):
cards and go make some money off.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Ohlu Garrett a rookie card. I mean that's worth millions.
He was describing millions of dollars with the rookie cards.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That was my hope for Luke.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, but you gotta respect the wishes of the dead, right,
all right. So it takes some time to cool down,
and he finally finds a cast to get to fit
Louis and all the stuff, and he says he did
it for his dad. So that's very nice. All right.
So of course who does he call for help? Laura
l I right, She's always there, and vice versa. Who's
(14:16):
someone you would call to calm you down? Or are
you someone who would call them to calm down?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh? Both. I'm a really rational person, so I can
calm people down. However, yeah, I'm gonna call I mean,
my husband, he's he's gonna calm me down in two seconds.
And then I have a couple of really good girlfriends
that will listen. I can rant. They will give you,
they will calm me down. They won't feed into it.
(14:44):
You know, they're just like take a deep breath. And
you need those friends, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I had a friend from Sacramento once teach me how
to calm people down. And all you have to do
is speak to them like this, tell me what happened.
Just tell me what happened. Do it in this voice.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Word just whisper really.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, And it lowers their heart rates, it gets the focus,
it calms them down. Isn't that wild?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That is wild?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
What a technique.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's great advice. It's not bad I'm going to do
that the next time my daughter calls me and she's
crying because something happened.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know, right right to try it, I mean, you know,
and the wrong if the wrong people over here. It
can be a little creepy, but but it's like it's effective.
Every time I've done it, it's worked, all right. Of
course Louis wanted all stuff buried. This is a bit
of a morbid question, but I'm going to ask, what
(15:48):
do you want to be buried with?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I do not care. I'll be dead. I don't care. Honestly,
I don't even want to be buried, so I just
want to be cremated. I'm like, just really, Yeah, let
me sprinkle me wherever wherever, Like I'm not here anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Have you thought about it? It is?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't. I don't think about it. I don't think
about it at all. No, I'm gonna live forever. Luke
doesn't think Louie deserves this respect, but he does it
for his dad. Have you ever done something out of
love for someone even if the person didn't deserve it
all the time?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Are you if you don't do things because it's the
right thing to do, even when they don't deserve it.
I feel like that's what marriage is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Right, right, exactly every day? Every day, laurel I and Emily,
we're going to get into this now. So Emily comes
to Laurel I after she gets fired as Suki's wedding
planning planner. Lorela I tells Emily she wasn't planning Suki's wedding,
she was planning hers. The psychologist comes out, Emily teeses
(17:04):
Laurel I about marrying Luke. Lot going on here, right?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The subtext was heavy, It's just so laden.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Emily says, obvious, Laurrelai. You're with him constantly, You bring
his name up constantly. The moment he calls you run
to his side. All right. So Emily refers to Luke
and laurel as a match made in heaven. She ain't wrong,
But based on what you've seen with the Gilmore girl
so far in this episode, do you agree, Candice?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh yeah, I'm rooting for you guys. Okay, I'm rooting
for Luke and Laurelai at this point. I'm definitely rooting Okay,
good good.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So, as a mom of adult kids, you can relate
to Emily wanting to be involved in her child's big
life moments right totally.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have also learned that if you don't lead their lives,
they lead their lives. So you got to give some suggestions,
you can share your opinion, but then you got to
back off and let it make whatever choice they want
to and you support it because you want to stay
in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Right Right as they've grown up, did you come to
a realization that you know, they're wired that way, that's
what they you know, no matter what I did as
a mother and what we did as parents, this is
who they are. This is what they are. This is
(18:28):
so that that hit you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh my gosh. The in the womb o joke. They
were all different in the womb with like feisty fighter,
you know, and then it's like one of them was
so chill, so easy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And they're all like that from little kids. And you
do realize because I have three kids, three children in
their twenties, and we're all very close. But man, sometimes
I'm like, we're we're I'll say to one like, were
you not raised in the same home as us? Because
they're just wired differently. They have three distinct personalities no
(19:10):
matter what we do, but it's it's then fun to
figure it out, figure it out how you best connect
with them, support them, encourage them, all of that. But
it's different, right, right.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Right, all right, we're coming to the closing scene. Look
and Laurai are the only ones to attend Louise's services.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That was sad, sad. I felt that for Louis. I'm like,
you know, he was not the greatest guy, and it
showed for at the end of his life.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Did you get a lump when then actor showed up
a little bit?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Did you get a little choked a little baby choked up?
I was like, oh, that actually made me happy. I
was like, I didn't see that coming. I thought it
was just going to be that's very just the two
of two of you, you know, Loral.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And and so.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I was so happy when they came. But then you know,
it was a little silly and it made me giggle.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And Kirk steals the show with the horrible bugling some
of the best community. If that if they had a
category in the Enemy's like best comedic bugling.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He'd win.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It was really good and I love the line when
you were like he would have hated this and Laurel
I was like, yeah, but isn't that like like it
was a good thing you kind you kind of stuck
it to him at the end.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Right now during Luke points to Louis says to laurealoid
if that ain't me, isn't alone and never being married?
What what a moment huh reflection?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Like is this it? Are we going to get? Are we?
Are we getting someplace with these two right now at
this moment in life? Don't be alone. I'll be with
you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
They you know that they're building this bridge one time
they build they used to build.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Bridges with bricks, steel plate to the time.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah. So Lurla tells Luke that he is not Louie
and reminds me of all the things he's done for
loyalle Ry and his sister. So I guess it's their
version of of of sort of pre dating the World
War two re enactors make an appearance to perform a
final time for Louis. Back in the diner, there's a
(21:27):
wake for Louis, but nobody admits to organizing it. Rory
founds out that Jess played a part in organizing the wake.
And teases about finally being a part of the town.
(21:47):
All right, So, Kenna, since you're a new Gilmore Girls
watcher and now you're a super fan, because there you go,
what do you think each of the characters, who's your
favorite to observe?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Oh goodness, present company excluded because obviously obviously it's you.
But aside from you, I love Suki. She's so funny
and so cute. Right, and then you know, it is
really all about loura I and Rory. So I just
(22:21):
I love their dynamic. And I will say as an
actor being on a television show that had no mother,
like there was no mom on Full House. I was
the oldest of three, so it's very different relationships. So
I love watching that mother daughter relationship on television. And
they were best friends. So it was just I loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I love it. Well, let's get into a couple of
thought starters for you. Your career has been huge, It's
been full so many family focus shows. What you think
that's why audiences feel so connected to the same way
they do with Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I think we're in their living rooms every every
week and we feel like family to them. And also
it's it's and and these are the stories we hear
all the time from fans, is that a lot of
people wish they had the type of dynamic that that
we had on Full House, That it was this loving
(23:23):
just a loving family that made up that figured it out,
you know, that hugged at the end of every episode,
and very much the same way in Gilmore Girls. You're
just watching, You're watching these families grow together and fight together,
but you watch how they do it because you know
that there has to be a good outcome in some way,
shape or form, And people watching these shows are learning
(23:45):
how to do it when it's not modeled for them
at home.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right, Yes, excellent point, right, all right? So the Gilmore
is obviously centered around a strong mother daughter relationship and
it's a mom of a daughter. Why do you think
that dynamic is so special?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know how to
put that in words. I don't know. I think with mother, mother, daughter,
you're you you always want the best for your children,
but you're trying to navigate a better life for your child.
So as a mom to your daughter, you're thinking, like,
what are all the things that how I was screwed up?
(24:27):
Or that I got wrong. Let I'm going to parent
in a way that hopefully you don't experience the same
things that I did. And it does. It can It
can either be extremely bonding like Laura I and Rory,
or it can go totally wrong like Emily.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And Laura I right right, and Laura I became the
mother she never had. Yeah, exactly, And that's powerful if
you could, if you what should go More Girls? Characters
would you want to play? And why?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Oh goodness? Maybe just I mean she was much younger
than I am now, but I think I would love
to play Laura Live. Yeah, loved it. I auditioned for
Gilmore Girls, I think at the probably one of the
last seasons of the show, because I had just come
back to acting. I had taken ten years because I
(25:21):
was at home raising my kids. I took a ten
year break from work. But I remember going in for
that audition and I hadn't seen the show. I auditioned
and the casting director had said to me, you know,
they talk really fast on the show, and I said, okay,
So she said, can you do it faster? And I
(25:43):
said sure, But I didn't. She didn't send me out
of the room to prep for five or ten minutes.
I just had to go in there, and let me
tell you, I read that script as fast as I
possibly could and rattled it off so fast that I
don't think I thought about any word that I said,
and it was She just looked at me. She was like, oh, okay,
(26:04):
thank you, and I walked out of the room and
I'm like, I blew that audition. That that was one
of the worst auditions I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh Man. DJ Tanner and Rory Gilmore have been considered
counterparts because of their type A, organized and punctual personalities.
Do you agree.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think Rory is way smarter than DJ Tanner and
even more a type DJ was, But I think in
a in an just in an older sister kind of way.
But wasn't that extra level? And I think Rory was
extra level smart.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Okay, So if you two were friends, what do you
think you'd bond over?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Oh? Probably boys keep it simple. I don't know, maybe right,
you know, writing in the just all all the intellectual
kind of stuff, writing in their college paper or high
school newspaper, right.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right, all right? So both DJ Roy grew up in
the single parent home. What do you think they learned
from that experience.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well, I think it matured both of them quickly and
it yeah, it tells you how to had a nurture
and caretake, and I think they were both pretty good.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
At that, right, Right, So you're on the Great American
Family Channel. Now you've got the Ainsley McGregor Mysteries franchise.
Tell us a little bit about these two films.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh yeah, So there's there's two installments right now. We
have a third coming out as well. There's The Case
for the Winemaker, The Case for the Yarn Maker. Ainslee
McGregor is a oh my gosh, hold on, hold on,
I'm forgetting the word. She's a criminologist, a criminal, she's
a criminologist.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Criminologist, yees.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
So she teaches criminology at a local universe of Her
brother is the sheriff of this town, and then her
boyfriend is the fire chief. So and then she owns
this shop called Bless Your Arts and that is like
the sy shop where all the local artisans sell their stuff.
(28:18):
And there's always a mystery. It's not that someone dies
in every single movie, but you know, there's a mystery
to be solved. So they're very funny they're streaming now
on Great American Pure Flicks, or you can watch them
on Great American Family Channel, which is a cable channel,
and a case for the Yardmaker is going to premiere
(28:40):
there on October fourth. And then I have those the
two new Christmas movies. I think, I'm I'm I don't
know up to twenty movie Christmas movies at this point
in my career. So I have two new ones coming out.
One of them is the sequel to last year's Christmas
movie with Cameron Mathieson and it's called An Other Sweet Christmas.
(29:01):
It's a great it's a great story. It's in that
there's a movie within a movie and that's always a
little a little fun to play with. And then the
other movie, Timeless Tidings of Joy. I did get to
film with my daughter, which is very very special. It
felt very worry and Laura I, you know, and we
actually I was like, this is going to be either
(29:23):
the best experience of my life or it's going to
go really wrong. Because we lived together. We shot it
up in Canada, but we you know, got a little
airbnb and stayed together and it truly was one of
the best times of my life. Sharing that experience.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Where are you shooting in Canada?
Speaker 2 (29:39):
In Victoria?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
And what is that west coast?
Speaker 2 (29:43):
West coast? It's Vancouver Island right, Wow? Beautiful, Yeah, very pretty.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
I just flew over Vancouver. I'm going up into the interior.
Uh yeah, it's breathtaking, breathtaking. Well you you are the
queen of Christmas films, that is for sure. And we

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Oh, let's just do Hi Am all in again with
Scott Patterson and iHeartRadio Podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Hey everybody, Scott Patterson, I Am All In Podcast, one
of the productions iHeart Radio Media iHeart Podcast Season two,
Episode seventeen with the one and only Candace Cameron Beret.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
We are going to be talking about dead uncles and vegetables.
Let me tell you something about Candace. She is actress
obviously you know, or as an actress entrepreneur CEO, and
she's best known for her roles DJ Tanner on the
(00:58):
sitcom's full Hole, Little Show you may have Heard Of,
eighty seven to ninety five and Fuller House. She's also
starred in Great American Family Channel productions and has two
Christmas movies coming out at the end of the year,
Another Sweet Christmas Coast starring Cameron Matheson and Timeless Tidings
of Joy co starring Natasha Beret her daughter by the way,
(01:21):
that is her daughter. Well that's quite lovely. Both films
are part of the fifth anniversary The Great American Christmas,
which returns to air and a stream beginning in October. Candice,
Welcome to the show.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
Thanks Scott.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Great having you were very excited, know you watched the pilot,
that you really aren't familiar with the show, because man,
you're insanely busy.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No, here's the thing, though, it's of course I know
the show right, like, it's hugely popular, and I remember
how popular it was back in the day. But it
started in two thousand, right, So I had had my
second baby in two thousand and then my third in
two thousand and two, so I was in the throes
(02:05):
of young, young motherhood. I had no time to watch television.
And that's probably the only reason why I wasn't captivated
and putting in for my TV every single week watching
the show.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And I birthed a show, and I was on set
fourteen hours a day and had no time to watch television.
Just busy, Megan. Let's do a little synopsis. Luke struggles
with trying to juggle plans for his uncle's funeral and
his usual shifts at the diner, so Laurel and Rory
(02:39):
lend a hand at the restaurant. Meanwhile, new Farmers Market
opens across the street from Dosie's Market, sending Taylor into it.
Tizzy directed by Jamie Babbitt, written by Daniel Palladino. Let's
start with the DAR meeting. At the n Emily's hosting
her DAR meeting. At the end, She's does the tasting
(03:01):
of Suki's menu, and Suki tells Emily about her engagement
to Jackson. Candice, do you think you would get along
with Emily in real life?
Speaker 2 (03:10):
It'd be a tough one. I've got to admit. I
feel very blessed that I have a great mother and
that I love and mother in law also that I
get along with, and then even my kids who are married,
you know, I have a great mother in law through them,
So I don't think i'd have a hard.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Time, right, How do you respond to people like Emily
who have these strong, domineering personalities.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
I feel like you smile and you gnad a lot,
and you just let them say and whatever they want,
and then once you walk away, you're like, yeah, we're
not doing that. I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Uh huh. So you don't see yourself or anyone else
in your family in Emily at all.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Gosh, I hope I don't see me in Emily at all.
That's in the first place, you got to self reflect,
right exactly. I don't I don't think I'm like her.
I know a few people like her, but not in
my immediate family. I'm great hard personalities to juggle.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Those, yeah, very much. So all right, let's go to
the funeral. Yeah, let's go to the funeral. Uncle Loui's funeral.
Luke asked Laurali for nine rooms at the end for
his family to stay for his uncle Louis funeral. He's
over his head, obviously planning the funeral. Laurali and Roy
offered to cover for Luke at the diner so he
can get some things done. Rory's frustrated that Jess isn't
(04:30):
offering to help out, which I found this particular storyline
with Rory man handling Jess particularly charming. Kennie, when your
life gets overwhelming, are you someone to ask for help
and try to handle it all yourself?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
I asked for help. I think I've become good at delegating.
But it happened as I got older, and then you
realize how great delegating is. Like, I don't have to
do everything, but but if you're a control freak or
a perfectionist, it's hard to ask for help.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, what are you? I think? I think it's the same.
I think I used to be a control freak. Younger
got older. Delegate, Delegate, delegate, I think it's always you know,
that's the great lesson. One of the great lessons in
life is like, if you're going to attempt to be
a CEO or an entrepreneur or a leader, you know,
(05:24):
hire really confident people and just let them do their
thing exactly and don't look over his shoulder, don't do it,
and they will often come back with a result better
than you anticipated. I agree, you gotta let people do
their thing. Man. I think you and I have both
been in situations, maybe on set where there was a
(05:45):
showrunner who was a little overbearing, maybe and it was like,
this is going to be a long year, all right,
new farmers market. Taylor is furious. So this was this
was good stuff. This was really funny stuff. Taylor's furious
over the new farmer's market across the street from a
story feels stabbed at the back, but by all this
regulars shopping at this market. Have you ever witnessed a
(06:07):
local drama? Canis over a business competition?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
I feel like I have on curve your enthusiasm. Not
I'm trying to think in real life, I don't know
that I have that was as dramatic. But I now
live in a smaller town. I used to live in La.
I've lived in La my whole life. But I'm now
in a smaller town, and now I see it like
everyone knows your business and you know everyone, and there's
(06:34):
such perks to it. But now, as I watched the episode,
I'm like, oh, I could totally see this happening now
in a small town, a little competitive, and you know,
everyone has their place within the town, and then when
that gets disrupted, it's jarring.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
All right, Do you prefer farmer's market at grocery store?
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Both? I go to the farmer's market every weekend, but
you know I should. We shop every day, so I'm
always at the as you start every day every day
every day. We like fresh food, Like you open our
fridge and there's not much in it because I'm like,
what do I want to eat today?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Right? Right? Since you're entrepreneurial, what are some of your
favorite small businesses that.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I'm a part of or just in general?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh yeah, talk about yours? Yes?
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Oh? Oh, I mean, well, I don't know, it's all
I write books and I what else do I have?
I like any like a lot of women. I talk
about hair care and skincare, but a part of businesses
in that way. And but what what kind of small businesses?
(07:38):
I love? You know, I genuinely, being an entrepreneur, love
sty because that's where everyone gets to make what they're
passionate about, they sell it. It is a small business.
I love supporting small businesses in that way. So I
think that's cool and it's in my not bringing it
back to me. But in this mystery series that I
(07:59):
have called The Angels McGregor mysteries, like she's Ainsley is
this business owner and her store is like an Etsy shop. It's,
you know, a farmer's markets in a sense in that
it's all the local people and they do different kinds
of crafts. But she has a store that then tells
them all mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Okay, all right, We're going to jump to Suki's wedding
planning here.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
It was so funny, so cute.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
So she's with Emily having meetings. At the end of
plan Suki's wedding, Laura is annoyed with her mother's involvement
in the wedding plans, probably knowing that the price tag
is going to go way beyond, but Suki can deal
with and she warns Suki for entering Emily Land. You know,
it's like it's a scary place. Jackson expresses his concerns
(08:47):
to Lauralai about Suki's new extravagant and expensive wedding plans.
Laurala confront Suki and tells her this wedding isn't really her,
is it. Suki comes to her senses and calls to
cancel all those crazy plans. What was the wedding planning like?
For you canvas? Do you remember?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It was almost thirty years ago. I barely remember it.
But my son got married last year, and so let
me tell you, weddings are so stinking expensive. It's ridiculous.
I know everything's expensive these days, but compared to thirty
years ago, even it's like, you know, you want all
(09:30):
the a lot of few, you want all the things,
and even keeping it simple like Suki wanted. I'm like,
I don't. I don't know how you do that unless
it's like a backyard barbecue. But then it's the backyard barbecue.
It's not a wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Did your did your mother plan your wedding.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
No, I planned my wedding.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
You planned the wedding. Well, what was the most extravagant
thing that you had not the wedding.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
I don't think I had. I think extravagant was that
we had a like a quartet at the ceremony that
was playing live and we walked down the aisle. I
think that was most extravagant.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
And you mentioned your son lev recently got married. What
was your involvement in, like, in planning that wedding? Was
it stressful?
Speaker 2 (10:20):
Very different being the mother of the groom versus the
mother of the bride. So no, there was not a
lot of stress. I was begging to be a part
of it more and more. I was like, please, let
me just lick the envelopes, let me lick the stamps.
I'll do anything. I just want to be a part
of it. But it was great, beautiful wedding.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Right. So, when it comes to planning a big event,
would you want Emily in your corner or would she
drive you crazy?
Speaker 2 (10:45):
She would drive me crazy. However, if I had all
the money in the world like Emily, I want her
on my team. I want her on my side.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
You know what, Yeah, she'd get it done. Yeah, that's
what she'd be good at, right, exactly, All right, we're
going to town hall meeting. You ready, Let's go to town
hall meeting. Taylor demands a farmer's market to be shot
down because the permit for the business is not valid.
After the meeting, Luke chases down Taylor another World War
II re enactors and ask them if they will be
(11:15):
attending Louie's funeral. The men tell Luke they don't want
to go to the funeral because they all hated Louie. Luke,
it's angry with the men for not showing their respects.
Taylor calls him a defensive hothead, just like Louie. Do
you feel sorry for Luke? I did doing the right thing.
No one seems to care.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
I know. I felt so bad for Luke in this
because how awful is it to know that you have
a family member and nobody's really told you that they
all secretly hate that person and don't even want to
show up at funeral. It was really sad, and I
felt for him, and yet very much understood his need
to want to honor his dad's wishes. So I thought
(11:57):
he made the right choice in honoring them.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
I thought I was shocked to see Kirk standing with
those guys and saying, yeah he was at jerk, we're
not coming to your feet. It's a little weird.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
It was a little harsh, it really was.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah. But I mean, if you want to Luke rant,
you got to do these things. I guess you know
a little bit of a rant anyway, Kennis, how do
you teach your kids to do the right thing even
when it's hard.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Oh, that's the fear of there, that's the fear of God.
You know, it really is. It's kind of like, look,
you can you can make bad decisions, you can lie
to people, but at the end of the day, you
you're you might you might not see him right now
on earth, but you have someone to stand before and
you're going to give an account to that. So it's
(12:44):
you know, and it's not to guilt someone, but yeah,
I'm a woman of faith. It's reality and so that's
what I'm like, Yeah, just because someone else doesn't see
a God season, So just think about that when you're
making those choices.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
There you go Loui's casket. Luke calls Laurela I when
he can't close Louie's caskeap because all the things keep
he insisted getting buried with him. Luke says, I can't
deal with this anymore. It's not as if he deserves
my help or my respect. He was a jerk, and
he starts out, now, Luke's being a jerk. Really amazing
that they would make attempt to make this comedic. Do
(13:21):
you think they pulled it off?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
They kind of did, right, Yeah, I mean I didn't.
I didn't. Yeah, it didn't bump me at all in
that way. However, I wanted Luke to grab all of
those baseball cards and go sell them at the post shot.
And I'm like, go put it into your restaurant or
put it into one. We're like, why you can give
him three quarters of the stuff. Just take the baseball
(13:45):
cards and go make some money off.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Ohlu Garrett a rookie card. I mean that's worth millions.
He was describing millions of dollars with the rookie cards.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
That was my hope for Luke.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
Yeah, but you gotta respect the wishes of the dead, right,
all right. So it takes some time to cool down,
and he finally finds a cast to get to fit
Louis and all the stuff, and he says he did
it for his dad. So that's very nice. All right.
So of course who does he call for help? Laura
l I right, She's always there, and vice versa. Who's
(14:16):
someone you would call to calm you down? Or are
you someone who would call them to calm down?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Oh? Both. I'm a really rational person, so I can
calm people down. However, yeah, I'm gonna call I mean,
my husband, he's he's gonna calm me down in two seconds.
And then I have a couple of really good girlfriends
that will listen. I can rant. They will give you,
they will calm me down. They won't feed into it.
(14:44):
You know, they're just like take a deep breath. And
you need those friends, you know.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I had a friend from Sacramento once teach me how
to calm people down. And all you have to do
is speak to them like this, tell me what happened.
Just tell me what happened. Do it in this voice.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Word just whisper really.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, And it lowers their heart rates, it gets the focus,
it calms them down. Isn't that wild?
Speaker 2 (15:17):
That is wild?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
What a technique.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
That's great advice. It's not bad I'm going to do
that the next time my daughter calls me and she's
crying because something happened.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
You know, right right to try it, I mean, you know,
and the wrong if the wrong people over here. It
can be a little creepy, but but it's like it's effective.
Every time I've done it, it's worked, all right. Of
course Louis wanted all stuff buried. This is a bit
of a morbid question, but I'm going to ask, what
(15:48):
do you want to be buried with?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
I do not care. I'll be dead. I don't care. Honestly,
I don't even want to be buried, so I just
want to be cremated. I'm like, just really, Yeah, let
me sprinkle me wherever wherever, Like I'm not here anymore.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Have you thought about it? It is?
Speaker 1 (16:10):
I don't. I don't think about it. I don't think
about it at all. No, I'm gonna live forever. Luke
doesn't think Louie deserves this respect, but he does it
for his dad. Have you ever done something out of
love for someone even if the person didn't deserve it
all the time?
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Are you if you don't do things because it's the
right thing to do, even when they don't deserve it.
I feel like that's what marriage is.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Right, right, exactly every day? Every day, laurel I and Emily,
we're going to get into this now. So Emily comes
to Laurel I after she gets fired as Suki's wedding
planning planner. Lorela I tells Emily she wasn't planning Suki's wedding,
she was planning hers. The psychologist comes out, Emily teeses
(17:04):
Laurel I about marrying Luke. Lot going on here, right?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
The subtext was heavy, It's just so laden.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
Emily says, obvious, Laurrelai. You're with him constantly, You bring
his name up constantly. The moment he calls you run
to his side. All right. So Emily refers to Luke
and laurel as a match made in heaven. She ain't wrong,
But based on what you've seen with the Gilmore girl
so far in this episode, do you agree, Candice?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Oh yeah, I'm rooting for you guys. Okay, I'm rooting
for Luke and Laurelai at this point. I'm definitely rooting Okay,
good good.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
So, as a mom of adult kids, you can relate
to Emily wanting to be involved in her child's big
life moments right totally.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
I have also learned that if you don't lead their lives,
they lead their lives. So you got to give some suggestions,
you can share your opinion, but then you got to
back off and let it make whatever choice they want
to and you support it because you want to stay
in their life.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Right Right as they've grown up, did you come to
a realization that you know, they're wired that way, that's
what they you know, no matter what I did as
a mother and what we did as parents, this is
who they are. This is what they are. This is
(18:28):
so that that hit you.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Oh my gosh. The in the womb o joke. They
were all different in the womb with like feisty fighter,
you know, and then it's like one of them was
so chill, so easy.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
And.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
And they're all like that from little kids. And you
do realize because I have three kids, three children in
their twenties, and we're all very close. But man, sometimes
I'm like, we're we're I'll say to one like, were
you not raised in the same home as us? Because
they're just wired differently. They have three distinct personalities no
(19:10):
matter what we do, but it's it's then fun to
figure it out, figure it out how you best connect
with them, support them, encourage them, all of that. But
it's different, right, right.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
Right, all right, we're coming to the closing scene. Look
and Laurai are the only ones to attend Louise's services.
Speaker 2 (19:29):
That was sad, sad. I felt that for Louis. I'm like,
you know, he was not the greatest guy, and it
showed for at the end of his life.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
Did you get a lump when then actor showed up
a little bit?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Did you get a little choked a little baby choked up?
I was like, oh, that actually made me happy. I
was like, I didn't see that coming. I thought it
was just going to be that's very just the two
of two of you, you know, Loral.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
And and so.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
I was so happy when they came. But then you know,
it was a little silly and it made me giggle.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
And Kirk steals the show with the horrible bugling some
of the best community. If that if they had a
category in the Enemy's like best comedic bugling.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
He'd win.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
It was great.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It was really good and I love the line when
you were like he would have hated this and Laurel
I was like, yeah, but isn't that like like it
was a good thing you kind you kind of stuck
it to him at the end.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Right now during Luke points to Louis says to laurealoid
if that ain't me, isn't alone and never being married?
What what a moment huh reflection?
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Like is this it? Are we going to get? Are we?
Are we getting someplace with these two right now at
this moment in life? Don't be alone. I'll be with
you for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
They you know that they're building this bridge one time
they build they used to build.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
Bridges with bricks, steel plate to the time.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah. So Lurla tells Luke that he is not Louie
and reminds me of all the things he's done for
loyalle Ry and his sister. So I guess it's their
version of of of sort of pre dating the World
War two re enactors make an appearance to perform a
final time for Louis. Back in the diner, there's a
(21:27):
wake for Louis, but nobody admits to organizing it. Rory
founds out that Jess played a part in organizing the wake.
And teases about finally being a part of the town.
(21:47):
All right, So, Kenna, since you're a new Gilmore Girls
watcher and now you're a super fan, because there you go,
what do you think each of the characters, who's your
favorite to observe?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Oh goodness, present company excluded because obviously obviously it's you.
But aside from you, I love Suki. She's so funny
and so cute. Right, and then you know, it is
really all about loura I and Rory. So I just
(22:21):
I love their dynamic. And I will say as an
actor being on a television show that had no mother,
like there was no mom on Full House. I was
the oldest of three, so it's very different relationships. So
I love watching that mother daughter relationship on television. And
they were best friends. So it was just I loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
I love it. Well, let's get into a couple of
thought starters for you. Your career has been huge, It's
been full so many family focus shows. What you think
that's why audiences feel so connected to the same way
they do with Gilmore Girls.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Yeah, I think we're in their living rooms every every
week and we feel like family to them. And also
it's it's and and these are the stories we hear
all the time from fans, is that a lot of
people wish they had the type of dynamic that that
we had on Full House, That it was this loving
(23:23):
just a loving family that made up that figured it out,
you know, that hugged at the end of every episode,
and very much the same way in Gilmore Girls. You're
just watching, You're watching these families grow together and fight together,
but you watch how they do it because you know
that there has to be a good outcome in some way,
shape or form, And people watching these shows are learning
(23:45):
how to do it when it's not modeled for them
at home.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Right, Yes, excellent point, right, all right? So the Gilmore
is obviously centered around a strong mother daughter relationship and
it's a mom of a daughter. Why do you think
that dynamic is so special?
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I mean, I don't know, I don't know how to
put that in words. I don't know. I think with mother, mother, daughter,
you're you you always want the best for your children,
but you're trying to navigate a better life for your child.
So as a mom to your daughter, you're thinking, like,
what are all the things that how I was screwed up?
(24:27):
Or that I got wrong. Let I'm going to parent
in a way that hopefully you don't experience the same
things that I did. And it does. It can It
can either be extremely bonding like Laura I and Rory,
or it can go totally wrong like Emily.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
And Laura I right right, and Laura I became the
mother she never had. Yeah, exactly, And that's powerful if
you could, if you what should go More Girls? Characters
would you want to play? And why?
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Oh goodness? Maybe just I mean she was much younger
than I am now, but I think I would love
to play Laura Live. Yeah, loved it. I auditioned for
Gilmore Girls, I think at the probably one of the
last seasons of the show, because I had just come
back to acting. I had taken ten years because I
(25:21):
was at home raising my kids. I took a ten
year break from work. But I remember going in for
that audition and I hadn't seen the show. I auditioned
and the casting director had said to me, you know,
they talk really fast on the show, and I said, okay,
So she said, can you do it faster? And I
(25:43):
said sure, But I didn't. She didn't send me out
of the room to prep for five or ten minutes.
I just had to go in there, and let me
tell you, I read that script as fast as I
possibly could and rattled it off so fast that I
don't think I thought about any word that I said,
and it was She just looked at me. She was like, oh, okay,
(26:04):
thank you, and I walked out of the room and
I'm like, I blew that audition. That that was one
of the worst auditions I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Oh Man. DJ Tanner and Rory Gilmore have been considered
counterparts because of their type A, organized and punctual personalities.
Do you agree.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I think Rory is way smarter than DJ Tanner and
even more a type DJ was, But I think in
a in an just in an older sister kind of way.
But wasn't that extra level? And I think Rory was
extra level smart.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Okay, So if you two were friends, what do you
think you'd bond over?
Speaker 2 (26:44):
Oh? Probably boys keep it simple. I don't know, maybe right,
you know, writing in the just all all the intellectual
kind of stuff, writing in their college paper or high
school newspaper, right.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
Right, all right? So both DJ Roy grew up in
the single parent home. What do you think they learned
from that experience.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well, I think it matured both of them quickly and
it yeah, it tells you how to had a nurture
and caretake, and I think they were both pretty good.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
At that, right, Right, So you're on the Great American
Family Channel. Now you've got the Ainsley McGregor Mysteries franchise.
Tell us a little bit about these two films.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Oh yeah, So there's there's two installments right now. We
have a third coming out as well. There's The Case
for the Winemaker, The Case for the Yarn Maker. Ainslee
McGregor is a oh my gosh, hold on, hold on,
I'm forgetting the word. She's a criminologist, a criminal, she's
a criminologist.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Criminologist, yees.
Speaker 2 (27:57):
So she teaches criminology at a local universe of Her
brother is the sheriff of this town, and then her
boyfriend is the fire chief. So and then she owns
this shop called Bless Your Arts and that is like
the sy shop where all the local artisans sell their stuff.
(28:18):
And there's always a mystery. It's not that someone dies
in every single movie, but you know, there's a mystery
to be solved. So they're very funny they're streaming now
on Great American Pure Flicks, or you can watch them
on Great American Family Channel, which is a cable channel,
and a case for the Yardmaker is going to premiere
(28:40):
there on October fourth. And then I have those the
two new Christmas movies. I think, I'm I'm I don't
know up to twenty movie Christmas movies at this point
in my career. So I have two new ones coming out.
One of them is the sequel to last year's Christmas
movie with Cameron Mathieson and it's called An Other Sweet Christmas.
(29:01):
It's a great it's a great story. It's in that
there's a movie within a movie and that's always a
little a little fun to play with. And then the
other movie, Timeless Tidings of Joy. I did get to
film with my daughter, which is very very special. It
felt very worry and Laura I, you know, and we
actually I was like, this is going to be either
(29:23):
the best experience of my life or it's going to
go really wrong. Because we lived together. We shot it
up in Canada, but we you know, got a little
airbnb and stayed together and it truly was one of
the best times of my life. Sharing that experience.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Where are you shooting in Canada?
Speaker 2 (29:39):

Speaker 1 (29:40):
