Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is a Bramble Jam podcast. Welcome to a Girl's
(00:23):
Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm Megan and I'm
a longtime Hallmark fan.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm Wendy.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm a former Hallmark hater.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Today we're discussing The Groomsman Last Dance, the third and
final movie in the Groomsman trilogy. You can catch our
reviews of the previous two movies that have dropped recently.
We would love for you to hang out with us
outside of the podcast. Follow us on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Hey, if you want to talk with other like minded,
cool people who like Hallmark movies, join our Girls Gone
Hallmark Facebook group. Hey, remember a few weeks ago we
made a joke about looking for somebody to be the
admin for our Facebook dig you. Well, thanks to Mackie
and Brenda, we have too, and I just want to
(01:06):
give them a shout out and say thank you for
all you're doing over there keeping everything in tiptop shape. Yeah,
and we even.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Got more volunteers than those two we had already kind
of like we were like, oh my gosh, we have two.
This is amazing. So thank you to every single person
who volunteered. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We do.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Let's jump right into a synopsis for The Groomsman Last Dance.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Jackson moves to Italy to be near his daughter, but
a chance meeting with a cafe owner, Gabriella, and some
Medalin friends may lead to a second chance at love.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Ron Oliver returns as director. He also wrote the script
for the third and final movie. He directed all three
movies in the trilogy. If you want to watch a
really good Roun Oliver movie, the time of my voice
suggests that I don't think this is a really good
round Oliver movie. I want to make that clear that
that's not what I'm doing here. Check out Love at
the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Tyler Hine is back in the
(02:01):
lead role as Jackson for this one. And while we're
halfway through the twenty twenty four Heinz season, that's what
I'm calling it, There's still more to come. Look forward
to Hines and three Wiserman and a Boy and Holiday Touchdown,
a Chiefs love story coming in. Jonathan Bennett makes a
return as Danny. If you haven't got the first two
(02:22):
episodes of Finding Mister Christmas on Hallmark Plus yet, they
are definitely worth the watch.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's a reality.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Competition that's giving us all the holiday vibes we need
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
B J Britt returns as Doctor p and for anyone
craving more of Bjay's holiday charm, you can check him
out in last year's holiday movie on own called A
Christmas Serenade. He's also known for roles in Unreal Being
Mary Jane and Agents of Shield.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Chloe Raphael plays Betty Jackson's daughter as previously mentioned, Chloe's
and a ton of voice work with the children's animated
series Thomas and Friends and Now We Know Lily Doddsworth
Evans plays Elizabeth. That's Betty all grown up. She has
seventeen acting credits with projects like Durracula, The Good Liar
and the Art of Racing.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
In the Rain.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Elena Rosconi plays Jackson's love interest, Gabriella. She's an Italian
actress with six previous acting credits, including the American TV
series The Catch from twenty sixteen. Her next project is
called Rise of the Raven.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oliver Shaw plays Young Milo. He has just two other
projects outside of the Groomsman trilogy, but can currently be
seen in the series Disclaimer on Apple TV.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Cosimofusco plays Lorenzo Cosimo has fifty nine acting credits, but
most notably he played Paolo from Friends. Thank You to
Girls Gone Hallmark Facebook group members for pointing out that
tidbit to us, We're gonna take a quick break and
come right back. It is time for first impressions. What
(04:05):
is your first impression of the Groomsman Last Dance.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm kind of into a silver Fox Tyler Hines.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh, yeah, a little flash forward moment.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I mean it was a full silver Fox, and I
think if it did go there, it was like almost
like a costume. I like the little the little little wisps,
little brush of silver they put at his temples.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he and Danny both got the aging treatment in
BJ's all, I still look good. My first impression is
I spent this entire movie being so distracted by Alana
Rasconi's perfect face. Oh she's beautiful, truly striking, totally striking beautiful.
(04:49):
I read in an IMDb review that people didn't like
her because she came off too hard in her in
her portrayal of Gabriella. I was like, whatever, whatever, whatever, man,
let's talk what we liked about the movie.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, I want to ask you, of the three, how
did you.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Enjoy this installment?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
This movie had a very different tone for me.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was like a calmer wiser, almost more serious.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In tone than the other movies.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There are still some like they infuse the comedy, but
I think it speaks to the fact that if you
look at the way Tyler Hines does comedy as opposed
to the way Jonathan Bennett does comedy, Tyler is more
like in small expressions, He's his comedy is in like
throwaway lines, where Jonathan Bennett does like a real good
(05:43):
physical comedy. He's so expressive and man spent months on Broadway.
So I liked this movie as the culmination to our
three stories. If I'm gonna have to pick a favorite,
it's gonna be Second Chances.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Really, hmm, that is so interesting. I think it was
the best of the three. Oh, but I do think
you're right the tone was a little different than the
other two, and I also think it stands out it
honestly could have been like a solo movie. I totally agree.
(06:23):
I think it has something to do with like the
forward progression.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It doesn't this movie.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, although it starts out with some overlapping scenes, again,
we have like progression in time, like almost a year's
worth at least, right, So that's why I'm like, oh,
I could see this as a standalone movie, but of
course we have the Betty of it all, like that
is the tie that brings them all the three together.
So I'm not suggesting it should have been a solo movie.
(06:51):
I just talking about it, that's all, No, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And not only did we get like the solid year
progression because obviously Betty has picked up, moved in, she's
settled there, but we also get a fifteen twenty year
flash forward because we are dealing with adult Betty at
this point. I do like that they brought so many
elements of this story full circle that we get the reveal,
(07:18):
which I will have some issues with, but the Betty
Elizabeth runaway bride reveal, we get the storyline behind all
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I really enjoyed this like exploration of father and daughter connection.
And you and I had talked like off Mike about well,
this is like kind of weird. Why is the why
is Betty going away with the mom to Italy? Like
why doesn't Jackson have any say in any of this?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And learning that the mom worked in like military. I
had asked you. I was like, does that change anything
for you? It wasn't just like she was like, I'm
picking up and moving to Italy with my daughter, and oh,
well for you, dad, does it change for you or no?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I mean I understand her motivation for needing to leave.
I'm not yeah, I'm not trying to paint the mom
with like a selfish brush here. Obviously I didn't have
the information. We talked about this in last episode, and
I was like, welcome, she just gets to decide. I
understand why the mom needs to leave. I think for
the sake of time, we can't get too into the
weeds in the movie right of the custody battle of
(08:26):
it All. And perhaps obviously Jackson has a great relationship
with Betty's mom, like they're friends. They seem to have
a lot of love and respect for each other, and
so maybe it's just that he was like, I'm not
going to be the one to take her away from
her mother, so I'll have to be the one who suffers.
But I still think if you were going to dig
(08:47):
into it, it'd be like, well, how come this super
involved dad just has to lie down and take the
fact that his daughter is moving away.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, now I can see that also though, and of
course I've made this whole narrative up in my head.
Jackson has the means to travel and see her whenever
he would like. And I can also see Jackson's character
also being like, you know, a girl needs her mom
or whatever. So of course we're not gonna like, we
(09:16):
don't know the ins and outs of it, but whatever.
I just it's an interesting way they did it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Towards the end of the movie, we learned that Jackson
blames himself for the demise of his marriage because he
was a workaholic, Like he was so focused on like
making the next dollar, and so perhaps, you know, we
know that he's still carrying that with him because he's like,
I am not going to be good at a relationship.
Perhaps he blames himself enough that he's like, I don't
(09:42):
get to make these decisions about Betty's life because I
already ruined it once in his house.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah. Yeah, interesting, But back to my original point, I like,
I like the story they're telling in between like fathers
and daughters, because if we see it between like Betty
and Jackson, but we also see it with Gabrielle and
her dad too. You know that it's important that daughters
have stable men in their life to kind of role
(10:10):
model what love is and sure steam and yeah, anyway,
I just thought it was a nice narrative, one we
don't typically see on Hallmark. And I don't think, like,
looking at this movie, like people are going to really
come away from from it with like, oh that whole
point of the movie.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Maybe it's because I have.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
My own teenage daughter that I'm like and have my
own like father daughter things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like what
have we been saying for weeks? And we like we
want to see ourselves in these So that's what I'm
taking away from it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I mean, I think it's definitely layered. I think they
did a nice job of not making the father daughter's
story secondary. Betty's storyline is strong throughout all three movies,
even when Jackson's storyline isn't the one who is featured.
They did a really nice job of making it clear
that she's in their lives that like it's Uncle Pete
(11:06):
and Uncle Danny, and these men have a lot of
affection for their friend's daughter and they take their role
in her life seriously, because it all comes together in
this movie, right, We would be less invested in her
future marriage if we didn't have all of this other backstory.
So I think they do a good job of building
all of these layers in the movie.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I think so too. I think so too. Here's
something else I really liked. I have really enjoyed seeing
Tyler Hines and this against It's not even truly against type.
It's just that he's like this single sexy, involved dad
rather than the single sexy Lithario. I don't know, not
(11:51):
that he plays that role, you know what I mean?
Though he's not the single sexy guy looking for romance.
It's like he it adds another layer to his character
being like dad, which I really find appealing.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, I think I like. I like the differences we
got in our three guys and the way that they're
approaching romance and their roadblocks were all so different, and
I don't think that's necessarily super easy to do. They
made them different without making them caricatures of relationships. I
(12:25):
think it made sense for obviously it made sense for
Tyler's movie to anchor this series. But I think they
did a really nice job of building the momentum and
building these movies on each other. It's I believe Jonathan
Bennett recently said how long they were on location. I
kind of feel like it was like three months maybe.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I feel like it was a long time because
remember it was all happening during summertime, and we were like,
what are they really?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like they were sending out all these like cryptic things
that we were doing there in Greece.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm just a mad a murder board style directorial setup.
Or you're trying to figure out all of the different
stories that you need to tell in the individual movies
and all of the ways you need to support them
and make them make sense and not leave pieces hanging.
And this was a huge project and I genuinely think
(13:19):
this was a big hit.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I wonder when they're gonna move this over to linear cable.
Yeah people can the other people can watch it, so
non Hallmark Plus subscribers can watch it. Yeah. My feeling
is that it's going to be a minute before they
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I mean, they really want to use this as a
huge draw to the Hallmark Plus and they are Hallmark
Plus has this you earn points like with Hallmark dot com,
like for buying stuff. I think you can all use
in store. I don't really know. I haven't actually been
set up my account that way. But if you watch
all three of these movies, you do get a five
(13:54):
dollars credit to a Hallmark store.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How does that work?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I have absolutely no idea. Well or just knows because
you link your Hallmark Plus account with your other account.
But what's very right, but you do your own points.
They are really trying to build out the experience on
the app.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
In a totally non sponsored plug here. I recently went
into my local Hallmark store and I gotta tell you,
their ornaments were popping. They were oh my gosh this year.
Me too.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We were in there yesterday because we went to the
mall and they had some did you see the Lacy bear?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I did? I did, Okay, go ahead, what'd you see?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We were just mostly looking at the ornaments, although they
did have like a Hallmark channel knockoff Stanley Tumblr and
it was like my to do list, watch Chrystals movies,
watch Chrystals movies, watch Christmas movies.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And I was like, that's real cute. We need that.
You're like, am I gonna need this for the crews.
And they have some really nice plush blankets. I say,
like my homemark watching blanket or whatever. Their stuff is nice.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It is nice.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And hey if also if you're a Gilmore Girls fan,
they have some really cute Gilmore Girls themed ornaments this
year too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I love their ornaments so much. And it's like, we're
real weird about the kind of ornaments that are allowed
to go on your tree.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And the ornaments on your tree.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No, we have a we have multiple trees, so those
go on our bedroom tree, all those like themed ornaments.
But they had some really cute Every year they just
come out. There's some funny Christmas vacation ornaments. They're really fun.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
My husband and I went to the Hallmark sort. It
feels like it was months ago, but ever since then,
like these boxes keep showing up on our front porch
address to him and they have like the purple Hallmark
like packaging on it. And I was like, hey, thanks
for keeping me in business, because you know, I feel
like I'm somewhat associated. Our podcast is somewhat associated. So funny,
(15:49):
what is he ordering?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I have no idea. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
He hasn't showed me there, so I don't know if
they're for me or I mean, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh that's very exciting, report book. I will in Anothery're like,
I just got to say the location was stunning. It
was absolutely gorgeous. I know they weren't in Italy while
filming this, but.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Where was beautiful? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, because they only filmed in Greece in Bulgaria, so
this must have been you know, Bulgaria stands in as
faux Friends and apparently fo Italy as well.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I have to tell you. There were a lot
of things. I liked how this movie was executed, and
we did talk a little bit about it already, but
the overlapping scenes at the beginning I really like. I
like how we revisit that and like we're like, okay,
now we're starting something else. I think that's cool. I
loved the whole throwback to the video game in this movie.
(16:44):
Will Milo explains like he was MLB and it wasn't Danny.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I thought that was very clever.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I was like, I need to go watch that scene
again where she's like, oh MLB Danny.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, I know, I'm trying to remember what Jonathan Bennet's
face was like that, yes, exactly, Yeah, my financials by
the way, before I was married MLB.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Anyway, Oh, that's interesting. That tracks the baseball ho just kidding.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Uh. And the use this is what I really liked.
The use of Elizabeth slash Betty to tell the entire
story and how those relationships and her life shaped her
own perspective on love. I thought was really smart. I
really enjoyed it, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I thought it was a really interesting take to take
these movies, take these stories which are cinematic, and not
every romance it's like that, right, Like if I look
at mine, there's no like big conflict and major resolution
before I got married. And I thought it was really
interesting for a company that makes movies about love and
(17:52):
about sweeping love stories to tell these three really beautiful
stories and then to put one of their main characters
in position to be like, wait, does that make my
personal love story less powerful? I just thought it was
really interesting and have her come to the realization like
our story is just as special.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Every story matters it totally. Every story does matter. And
while you were talking about that, I was thinking about
all the entertainment we have consumed over our lifetime, right
watching like soap operas or watching reality TV or watching
teen drama. Sometimes you've become so invested and you think,
(18:33):
like that mirrors what real life should look like, and
it doesn't always, But that doesn't make your own experience
less less than you know, so you're right, it's super
interesting that a company that gives us all these big
stories was like, no, it's okay, your story is as
equally as important. I have a few more likes, okay.
(18:56):
I enjoyed Gabriella as Tyler's love interests. I like that
she was a strong woman and like firm in her
beliefs on things. I'm not sure if I cared a
lot about like her storyline storyline getting like the parents'
restaurants to like, yeah, be bigger and better like but
I can see like they needed it to show some
sort of like parialism between like her relationship with her dad.
(19:20):
But I liked Gabriella a lot, and I also liked
her mom, who I thought had several funny moments. There
was an up and down look she did with Jackson,
like when she she meets Gabrielle's American friend for the
first time. That was really funny, and she had this
other this really funny line I thought was really great
(19:41):
about this is before I did I realized that the
mom and dad were divorced. But she's like, I don't
talk to your dad and he doesn't talk to me,
and everybody lives happily ever after. Yes, it's totally in
my notes too, we have an agreement, we don't talk.
I loved that. I laughed out loud. And let's talk
about the dance scene at festival. Oh my gosh, so steamy.
(20:04):
I thought so too. I wrote spicy and sensual and
it was just not just a dance, but it was
a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
There was nothing like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Inappropriate inappropriate about it, but I thought it was really nice.
And I don't know if you saw this yesterday, but
on our Instagram reels, I posted what that scene reminded
me of. And it's a movie called Swingers. It's from
the late nineties. Have you ever seen that movie? Yeah?
But I think you posted in stories, But yes, I
have seen Storyvie. Yes, that's where it was. It was
on Instagram somewhere. Swingers is one of my all time
(20:34):
favorite movies. And when I saw this scene in the
Groomsman yesterday. It instantly reminded me of that. Danny and
Pete are like on the side, like there's our boy,
you know, they were so excited for him. I loved it.
I just loved it so much. And at the end
they're like doubled it be. It was just was really funny.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It reminded me of our conversation with Jeff Beasley where
we talked about how like we love infusing comedy into
these moments that you know he sometimes directs like real
straightforward like a day Spring, or like Miracle and Bethlehem
that are you know, more serious in tone, but like
finds the humor. And I think it was such a
(21:17):
nice balance in this moment, like it made.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It more watchable.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
They weren't trying to make it this like deeply HBO
moment when you've got Danny and Pete on the side,
like I didn't know his hips could move like that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It was a great balance in that moment. I agree,
Did you like anything else? I'm tapped out?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Me too, I have but one wish, Oh tell me
I have too? Go ahead, Well look absolutely no shade
to Lily Dodsworth Evans, who is as cute as can be,
but I'm having a hard time buying her as adult Bettie.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Same it's my same wish.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
As soon as you said like, their eyes are different,
I was like, oh my gosh, their eyes are different.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Which they're both blue. I thought young Betties were brown
at first, but oh they are blue. They are blue,
but they're dark blue. Lily Dodsworth Evans has striking light
blue eyes. Completely different, her eye shape, everything completely different.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I just look. I know people change, their hair
can change. She could be straightening that curly hair.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And who knows which actress came first. And there's a
lot of factors that are going into the production here.
It's not just struggled with it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I understand. I did too.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I think it was a little bit of a miscast
in terms of consistency. But yeah, but both its actors
were great in their roles. I have one more, and
this is because I'm hashtag no fun. I don't need
to see the wedding dance again, the.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Whole, the whole.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You know there, everybody's doing it at one time, like
a nineties rom com. You know they're going to do
it on the cruise right. Well on my notes I
put but please everybody know I will participate if it's
offered on the cruise.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Trying it too.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I was watching on a wave. I'm laughing so hard
because I had a do it. I had a similar thought.
I have not one rhythmic bone in my entire body,
but I was like, maybe I could do this if
they teach it. It's like a line dance basically.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, and working to do it, and I'm gonna film it,
so you guys need to watch.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
We'll need to have one of those themed cocktails ahead
of time. Yeah, they should do it up to the
Wednesday bar crawl.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay exactly. Maybe I say bar crawl will just turn
into you like this, You know what I mean? Okay,
are you ready for dig You see that I am.
I also only have one, Oh I have I have
a couple. In Betty's wedding scene, they're flashing on, you know,
the different characters, and at one point they flash on
(23:58):
Zach played by Oxen Lincoln and seated next to him
as a young boy, and I thought to Danny and
Zach have a baby.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But then I don't, like, you know, the timeframe here.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
But then in the actual wedding.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
There is no child seated. I was like, maybe he
went chat with someone else. I don't know, but I
wondered if they were hinting at perhaps Danny and Zach
have a baby.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, that's interesting. I noticed that there was a child
sitting next to the actress who played Betty's mom too. Yeah,
me too. I was like, who's that baby? Not baby,
but she was a young child, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well why did you see that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
They're kind of all over the place.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But since we're talking about Betty's wedding, there was no
dance floor. They were just dancing on the hotel carpet
in that ballroom. Mmmm, I don't like that feels interesting.
Pross Well, I don't know. Like a million people I've
been there before. They're not licking it. I know. Hey,
(24:59):
wedding dan ant scene gets kind of crazy. You should
have saw mine. Like my father in law and his
fraternity brothers were on the floor doing like the worm
and stuff. Things get out of control, Okay, things get
out of control. H Milo's groomsman. Why why is it
Danny and Pete? Why are they sitting up at the
(25:20):
head table. Milo does has no friends.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I think that's the most neglected piece in all of
these movies is the wedding parties, other than obviously the
groomsmen there for each other. Like Chelsea her best friend
who she was in her wedding isn't in her wedding,
and then Benny's friends. She's just got these two. In
my mind, they're like Anastasia and Drozlla, like the Wicked Stepsisters.
(25:43):
Like they don't and I'm not saying they're unattractive, they
just look miserable the entire time.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And I was like, what's happening, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
two more wishes. I swear Actress Lily Dosworth Evans has an.
I can swear it. I agree with you, And I
tried to look everywhere. I've never seen any of her
other projects, so I don't know how she speaks. But
(26:09):
somebody please tell me. Is she like a British actor?
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I googled is Lily Dudsworth Evans British? I went to
her Instagram. She did have Instagram stories posted, but she
wasn't speaking in any of them. I tried to find
it too, and finally this this comes from our Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But I don't know if you noticed. I did see
somebody in heels walking on a cobblestone street and their
ankle turned just alone. No. In our Facebook group, somebody
was like, why do they always have women walking in
like heels or wedges or whatever on cobblestone streets? Team
tennis shoes. So yes, I totally saw that team tennis shoes.
(26:52):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Stresses me out. It makes my feet hurt. In solidarity, maam,
I'm a klutz, so me too. I'll break an ankle
in ten minutes and I have so yeah. Yes, in
tennis shoes, in.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tennis shoes, no less, yep, yep. All right, what did
you rate the Groomsman Last Dance?

This is a Bramble Jam podcast. Welcome to a Girl's
(00:23):
Gone Hallmark, a Hallmark review podcast. I'm Megan and I'm
a longtime Hallmark fan.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm Wendy.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm a former Hallmark hater.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
Today we're discussing The Groomsman Last Dance, the third and
final movie in the Groomsman trilogy. You can catch our
reviews of the previous two movies that have dropped recently.
We would love for you to hang out with us
outside of the podcast. Follow us on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Hey, if you want to talk with other like minded,
cool people who like Hallmark movies, join our Girls Gone
Hallmark Facebook group. Hey, remember a few weeks ago we
made a joke about looking for somebody to be the
admin for our Facebook dig you. Well, thanks to Mackie
and Brenda, we have too, and I just want to
(01:06):
give them a shout out and say thank you for
all you're doing over there keeping everything in tiptop shape. Yeah,
and we even.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Got more volunteers than those two we had already kind
of like we were like, oh my gosh, we have two.
This is amazing. So thank you to every single person
who volunteered. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
We do.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Let's jump right into a synopsis for The Groomsman Last Dance.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Jackson moves to Italy to be near his daughter, but
a chance meeting with a cafe owner, Gabriella, and some
Medalin friends may lead to a second chance at love.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Ron Oliver returns as director. He also wrote the script
for the third and final movie. He directed all three
movies in the trilogy. If you want to watch a
really good Roun Oliver movie, the time of my voice
suggests that I don't think this is a really good
round Oliver movie. I want to make that clear that
that's not what I'm doing here. Check out Love at
the Thanksgiving Day Parade. Tyler Hine is back in the
(02:01):
lead role as Jackson for this one. And while we're
halfway through the twenty twenty four Heinz season, that's what
I'm calling it, There's still more to come. Look forward
to Hines and three Wiserman and a Boy and Holiday Touchdown,
a Chiefs love story coming in. Jonathan Bennett makes a
return as Danny. If you haven't got the first two
(02:22):
episodes of Finding Mister Christmas on Hallmark Plus yet, they
are definitely worth the watch.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
It's a reality.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Competition that's giving us all the holiday vibes we need
right now.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
B J Britt returns as Doctor p and for anyone
craving more of Bjay's holiday charm, you can check him
out in last year's holiday movie on own called A
Christmas Serenade. He's also known for roles in Unreal Being
Mary Jane and Agents of Shield.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Chloe Raphael plays Betty Jackson's daughter as previously mentioned, Chloe's
and a ton of voice work with the children's animated
series Thomas and Friends and Now We Know Lily Doddsworth
Evans plays Elizabeth. That's Betty all grown up. She has
seventeen acting credits with projects like Durracula, The Good Liar
and the Art of Racing.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
In the Rain.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Elena Rosconi plays Jackson's love interest, Gabriella. She's an Italian
actress with six previous acting credits, including the American TV
series The Catch from twenty sixteen. Her next project is
called Rise of the Raven.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Oliver Shaw plays Young Milo. He has just two other
projects outside of the Groomsman trilogy, but can currently be
seen in the series Disclaimer on Apple TV.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Cosimofusco plays Lorenzo Cosimo has fifty nine acting credits, but
most notably he played Paolo from Friends. Thank You to
Girls Gone Hallmark Facebook group members for pointing out that
tidbit to us, We're gonna take a quick break and
come right back. It is time for first impressions. What
(04:05):
is your first impression of the Groomsman Last Dance.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm kind of into a silver Fox Tyler Hines.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh, yeah, a little flash forward moment.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I liked it.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
I mean it was a full silver Fox, and I
think if it did go there, it was like almost
like a costume. I like the little the little little wisps,
little brush of silver they put at his temples.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Yeah, he and Danny both got the aging treatment in
BJ's all, I still look good. My first impression is
I spent this entire movie being so distracted by Alana
Rasconi's perfect face. Oh she's beautiful, truly striking, totally striking beautiful.
(04:49):
I read in an IMDb review that people didn't like
her because she came off too hard in her in
her portrayal of Gabriella. I was like, whatever, whatever, whatever, man,
let's talk what we liked about the movie.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Well, I want to ask you, of the three, how
did you.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Enjoy this installment?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
This movie had a very different tone for me.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
It was like a calmer wiser, almost more serious.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
In tone than the other movies.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
There are still some like they infuse the comedy, but
I think it speaks to the fact that if you
look at the way Tyler Hines does comedy as opposed
to the way Jonathan Bennett does comedy, Tyler is more
like in small expressions, He's his comedy is in like
throwaway lines, where Jonathan Bennett does like a real good
(05:43):
physical comedy. He's so expressive and man spent months on Broadway.
So I liked this movie as the culmination to our
three stories. If I'm gonna have to pick a favorite,
it's gonna be Second Chances.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Really, hmm, that is so interesting. I think it was
the best of the three. Oh, but I do think
you're right the tone was a little different than the
other two, and I also think it stands out it
honestly could have been like a solo movie. I totally agree.
(06:23):
I think it has something to do with like the
forward progression.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It doesn't this movie.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I mean, although it starts out with some overlapping scenes, again,
we have like progression in time, like almost a year's
worth at least, right, So that's why I'm like, oh,
I could see this as a standalone movie, but of
course we have the Betty of it all, like that
is the tie that brings them all the three together.
So I'm not suggesting it should have been a solo movie.
(06:51):
I just talking about it, that's all, No, I hear you.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And not only did we get like the solid year
progression because obviously Betty has picked up, moved in, she's
settled there, but we also get a fifteen twenty year
flash forward because we are dealing with adult Betty at
this point. I do like that they brought so many
elements of this story full circle that we get the reveal,
(07:18):
which I will have some issues with, but the Betty
Elizabeth runaway bride reveal, we get the storyline behind all
of that.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
I really enjoyed this like exploration of father and daughter connection.
And you and I had talked like off Mike about well,
this is like kind of weird. Why is the why
is Betty going away with the mom to Italy? Like
why doesn't Jackson have any say in any of this?
Speaker 3 (07:46):
Right?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
And learning that the mom worked in like military. I
had asked you. I was like, does that change anything
for you? It wasn't just like she was like, I'm
picking up and moving to Italy with my daughter, and oh,
well for you, dad, does it change for you or no?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
I mean I understand her motivation for needing to leave.
I'm not yeah, I'm not trying to paint the mom
with like a selfish brush here. Obviously I didn't have
the information. We talked about this in last episode, and
I was like, welcome, she just gets to decide. I
understand why the mom needs to leave. I think for
the sake of time, we can't get too into the
weeds in the movie right of the custody battle of
(08:26):
it All. And perhaps obviously Jackson has a great relationship
with Betty's mom, like they're friends. They seem to have
a lot of love and respect for each other, and
so maybe it's just that he was like, I'm not
going to be the one to take her away from
her mother, so I'll have to be the one who suffers.
But I still think if you were going to dig
(08:47):
into it, it'd be like, well, how come this super
involved dad just has to lie down and take the
fact that his daughter is moving away.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Yeah, now I can see that also though, and of
course I've made this whole narrative up in my head.
Jackson has the means to travel and see her whenever
he would like. And I can also see Jackson's character
also being like, you know, a girl needs her mom
or whatever. So of course we're not gonna like, we
(09:16):
don't know the ins and outs of it, but whatever.
I just it's an interesting way they did it.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Towards the end of the movie, we learned that Jackson
blames himself for the demise of his marriage because he
was a workaholic, Like he was so focused on like
making the next dollar, and so perhaps, you know, we
know that he's still carrying that with him because he's like,
I am not going to be good at a relationship.
Perhaps he blames himself enough that he's like, I don't
(09:42):
get to make these decisions about Betty's life because I
already ruined it once in his house.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah. Yeah, interesting, But back to my original point, I like,
I like the story they're telling in between like fathers
and daughters, because if we see it between like Betty
and Jackson, but we also see it with Gabrielle and
her dad too. You know that it's important that daughters
have stable men in their life to kind of role
(10:10):
model what love is and sure steam and yeah, anyway,
I just thought it was a nice narrative, one we
don't typically see on Hallmark. And I don't think, like,
looking at this movie, like people are going to really
come away from from it with like, oh that whole
point of the movie.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Maybe it's because I have.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
My own teenage daughter that I'm like and have my
own like father daughter things. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like what
have we been saying for weeks? And we like we
want to see ourselves in these So that's what I'm
taking away from it.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
I mean, I think it's definitely layered. I think they
did a nice job of not making the father daughter's
story secondary. Betty's storyline is strong throughout all three movies,
even when Jackson's storyline isn't the one who is featured.
They did a really nice job of making it clear
that she's in their lives that like it's Uncle Pete
(11:06):
and Uncle Danny, and these men have a lot of
affection for their friend's daughter and they take their role
in her life seriously, because it all comes together in
this movie, right, We would be less invested in her
future marriage if we didn't have all of this other backstory.
So I think they do a good job of building
all of these layers in the movie.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, I think so too. I think so too. Here's
something else I really liked. I have really enjoyed seeing
Tyler Hines and this against It's not even truly against type.
It's just that he's like this single sexy, involved dad
rather than the single sexy Lithario. I don't know, not
(11:51):
that he plays that role, you know what I mean?
Though he's not the single sexy guy looking for romance.
It's like he it adds another layer to his character
being like dad, which I really find appealing.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, I think I like. I like the differences we
got in our three guys and the way that they're
approaching romance and their roadblocks were all so different, and
I don't think that's necessarily super easy to do. They
made them different without making them caricatures of relationships. I
(12:25):
think it made sense for obviously it made sense for
Tyler's movie to anchor this series. But I think they
did a really nice job of building the momentum and
building these movies on each other. It's I believe Jonathan
Bennett recently said how long they were on location. I
kind of feel like it was like three months maybe.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, I feel like it was a long time because
remember it was all happening during summertime, and we were like,
what are they really?
Speaker 3 (12:52):
Yeah, what's happening?
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like they were sending out all these like cryptic things
that we were doing there in Greece.
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I'm just a mad a murder board style directorial setup.
Or you're trying to figure out all of the different
stories that you need to tell in the individual movies
and all of the ways you need to support them
and make them make sense and not leave pieces hanging.
And this was a huge project and I genuinely think
(13:19):
this was a big hit.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
I wonder when they're gonna move this over to linear cable.
Yeah people can the other people can watch it, so
non Hallmark Plus subscribers can watch it. Yeah. My feeling
is that it's going to be a minute before they
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
I mean, they really want to use this as a
huge draw to the Hallmark Plus and they are Hallmark
Plus has this you earn points like with Hallmark dot com,
like for buying stuff. I think you can all use
in store. I don't really know. I haven't actually been
set up my account that way. But if you watch
all three of these movies, you do get a five
(13:54):
dollars credit to a Hallmark store.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
How does that work?
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Do you know?
Speaker 1 (13:59):
I have absolutely no idea. Well or just knows because
you link your Hallmark Plus account with your other account.
But what's very right, but you do your own points.
They are really trying to build out the experience on
the app.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
In a totally non sponsored plug here. I recently went
into my local Hallmark store and I gotta tell you,
their ornaments were popping. They were oh my gosh this year.
Me too.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
We were in there yesterday because we went to the
mall and they had some did you see the Lacy bear?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I did? I did, Okay, go ahead, what'd you see?
Speaker 1 (14:35):
We were just mostly looking at the ornaments, although they
did have like a Hallmark channel knockoff Stanley Tumblr and
it was like my to do list, watch Chrystals movies,
watch Chrystals movies, watch Christmas movies.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
And I was like, that's real cute. We need that.
You're like, am I gonna need this for the crews.
And they have some really nice plush blankets. I say,
like my homemark watching blanket or whatever. Their stuff is nice.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
It is nice.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
And hey if also if you're a Gilmore Girls fan,
they have some really cute Gilmore Girls themed ornaments this
year too.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
I love their ornaments so much. And it's like, we're
real weird about the kind of ornaments that are allowed
to go on your tree.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
And the ornaments on your tree.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
No, we have a we have multiple trees, so those
go on our bedroom tree, all those like themed ornaments.
But they had some really cute Every year they just
come out. There's some funny Christmas vacation ornaments. They're really fun.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
My husband and I went to the Hallmark sort. It
feels like it was months ago, but ever since then,
like these boxes keep showing up on our front porch
address to him and they have like the purple Hallmark
like packaging on it. And I was like, hey, thanks
for keeping me in business, because you know, I feel
like I'm somewhat associated. Our podcast is somewhat associated. So funny,
(15:49):
what is he ordering?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I have no idea. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
He hasn't showed me there, so I don't know if
they're for me or I mean, I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I have no idea.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Oh that's very exciting, report book. I will in Anothery're like,
I just got to say the location was stunning. It
was absolutely gorgeous. I know they weren't in Italy while
filming this, but.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Where was beautiful? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (16:14):
Yeah, because they only filmed in Greece in Bulgaria, so
this must have been you know, Bulgaria stands in as
faux Friends and apparently fo Italy as well.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Yeah, I have to tell you. There were a lot
of things. I liked how this movie was executed, and
we did talk a little bit about it already, but
the overlapping scenes at the beginning I really like. I
like how we revisit that and like we're like, okay,
now we're starting something else. I think that's cool. I
loved the whole throwback to the video game in this movie.
(16:44):
Will Milo explains like he was MLB and it wasn't Danny.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
I thought that was very clever.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
I was like, I need to go watch that scene
again where she's like, oh MLB Danny.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Yeah, I know, I'm trying to remember what Jonathan Bennet's
face was like that, yes, exactly, Yeah, my financials by
the way, before I was married MLB.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Anyway, Oh, that's interesting. That tracks the baseball ho just kidding.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Uh. And the use this is what I really liked.
The use of Elizabeth slash Betty to tell the entire
story and how those relationships and her life shaped her
own perspective on love. I thought was really smart. I
really enjoyed it, you know.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I thought it was a really interesting take to take
these movies, take these stories which are cinematic, and not
every romance it's like that, right, Like if I look
at mine, there's no like big conflict and major resolution
before I got married. And I thought it was really
interesting for a company that makes movies about love and
(17:52):
about sweeping love stories to tell these three really beautiful
stories and then to put one of their main characters
in position to be like, wait, does that make my
personal love story less powerful? I just thought it was
really interesting and have her come to the realization like
our story is just as special.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Every story matters it totally. Every story does matter. And
while you were talking about that, I was thinking about
all the entertainment we have consumed over our lifetime, right
watching like soap operas or watching reality TV or watching
teen drama. Sometimes you've become so invested and you think,
(18:33):
like that mirrors what real life should look like, and
it doesn't always, But that doesn't make your own experience
less less than you know, so you're right, it's super
interesting that a company that gives us all these big
stories was like, no, it's okay, your story is as
equally as important. I have a few more likes, okay.
(18:56):
I enjoyed Gabriella as Tyler's love interests. I like that
she was a strong woman and like firm in her
beliefs on things. I'm not sure if I cared a
lot about like her storyline storyline getting like the parents'
restaurants to like, yeah, be bigger and better like but
I can see like they needed it to show some
sort of like parialism between like her relationship with her dad.
(19:20):
But I liked Gabriella a lot, and I also liked
her mom, who I thought had several funny moments. There
was an up and down look she did with Jackson,
like when she she meets Gabrielle's American friend for the
first time. That was really funny, and she had this
other this really funny line I thought was really great
(19:41):
about this is before I did I realized that the
mom and dad were divorced. But she's like, I don't
talk to your dad and he doesn't talk to me,
and everybody lives happily ever after. Yes, it's totally in
my notes too, we have an agreement, we don't talk.
I loved that. I laughed out loud. And let's talk
about the dance scene at festival. Oh my gosh, so steamy.
(20:04):
I thought so too. I wrote spicy and sensual and
it was just not just a dance, but it was
a dance.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
There was nothing like.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Inappropriate inappropriate about it, but I thought it was really nice.
And I don't know if you saw this yesterday, but
on our Instagram reels, I posted what that scene reminded
me of. And it's a movie called Swingers. It's from
the late nineties. Have you ever seen that movie? Yeah?
But I think you posted in stories, But yes, I
have seen Storyvie. Yes, that's where it was. It was
on Instagram somewhere. Swingers is one of my all time
(20:34):
favorite movies. And when I saw this scene in the
Groomsman yesterday. It instantly reminded me of that. Danny and
Pete are like on the side, like there's our boy,
you know, they were so excited for him. I loved it.
I just loved it so much. And at the end
they're like doubled it be. It was just was really funny.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
It reminded me of our conversation with Jeff Beasley where
we talked about how like we love infusing comedy into
these moments that you know he sometimes directs like real
straightforward like a day Spring, or like Miracle and Bethlehem
that are you know, more serious in tone, but like
finds the humor. And I think it was such a
(21:17):
nice balance in this moment, like it made.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
It more watchable.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
They weren't trying to make it this like deeply HBO
moment when you've got Danny and Pete on the side,
like I didn't know his hips could move like that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
It was a great balance in that moment. I agree,
Did you like anything else? I'm tapped out?
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Me too, I have but one wish, Oh tell me
I have too? Go ahead, Well look absolutely no shade
to Lily Dodsworth Evans, who is as cute as can be,
but I'm having a hard time buying her as adult Bettie.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Same it's my same wish.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
As soon as you said like, their eyes are different,
I was like, oh my gosh, their eyes are different.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Which they're both blue. I thought young Betties were brown
at first, but oh they are blue. They are blue,
but they're dark blue. Lily Dodsworth Evans has striking light
blue eyes. Completely different, her eye shape, everything completely different.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Yeah, I just look. I know people change, their hair
can change. She could be straightening that curly hair.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
And who knows which actress came first. And there's a
lot of factors that are going into the production here.
It's not just struggled with it a little bit.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I understand. I did too.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I think it was a little bit of a miscast
in terms of consistency. But yeah, but both its actors
were great in their roles. I have one more, and
this is because I'm hashtag no fun. I don't need
to see the wedding dance again, the.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Whole, the whole.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
You know there, everybody's doing it at one time, like
a nineties rom com. You know they're going to do
it on the cruise right. Well on my notes I
put but please everybody know I will participate if it's
offered on the cruise.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Trying it too.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
I was watching on a wave. I'm laughing so hard
because I had a do it. I had a similar thought.
I have not one rhythmic bone in my entire body,
but I was like, maybe I could do this if
they teach it. It's like a line dance basically.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, and working to do it, and I'm gonna film it,
so you guys need to watch.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
We'll need to have one of those themed cocktails ahead
of time. Yeah, they should do it up to the
Wednesday bar crawl.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Okay exactly. Maybe I say bar crawl will just turn
into you like this, You know what I mean? Okay,
are you ready for dig You see that I am.
I also only have one, Oh I have I have
a couple. In Betty's wedding scene, they're flashing on, you know,
the different characters, and at one point they flash on
(23:58):
Zach played by Oxen Lincoln and seated next to him
as a young boy, and I thought to Danny and
Zach have a baby.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
But then I don't, like, you know, the timeframe here.
Speaker 2 (24:10):
But then in the actual wedding.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
There is no child seated. I was like, maybe he
went chat with someone else. I don't know, but I
wondered if they were hinting at perhaps Danny and Zach
have a baby.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
Yeah, that's interesting. I noticed that there was a child
sitting next to the actress who played Betty's mom too. Yeah,
me too. I was like, who's that baby? Not baby,
but she was a young child, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well why did you see that?
Speaker 3 (24:38):
They're kind of all over the place.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
But since we're talking about Betty's wedding, there was no
dance floor. They were just dancing on the hotel carpet
in that ballroom. Mmmm, I don't like that feels interesting.
Pross Well, I don't know. Like a million people I've
been there before. They're not licking it. I know. Hey,
(24:59):
wedding dan ant scene gets kind of crazy. You should
have saw mine. Like my father in law and his
fraternity brothers were on the floor doing like the worm
and stuff. Things get out of control, Okay, things get
out of control. H Milo's groomsman. Why why is it
Danny and Pete? Why are they sitting up at the
(25:20):
head table. Milo does has no friends.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
I think that's the most neglected piece in all of
these movies is the wedding parties, other than obviously the
groomsmen there for each other. Like Chelsea her best friend
who she was in her wedding isn't in her wedding,
and then Benny's friends. She's just got these two. In
my mind, they're like Anastasia and Drozlla, like the Wicked Stepsisters.
(25:43):
Like they don't and I'm not saying they're unattractive, they
just look miserable the entire time.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
And I was like, what's happening, Like yeah, yeah, yeah, okay,
two more wishes. I swear Actress Lily Dosworth Evans has an.
I can swear it. I agree with you, And I
tried to look everywhere. I've never seen any of her
other projects, so I don't know how she speaks. But
(26:09):
somebody please tell me. Is she like a British actor?
I know.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
I googled is Lily Dudsworth Evans British? I went to
her Instagram. She did have Instagram stories posted, but she
wasn't speaking in any of them. I tried to find
it too, and finally this this comes from our Facebook group.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
But I don't know if you noticed. I did see
somebody in heels walking on a cobblestone street and their
ankle turned just alone. No. In our Facebook group, somebody
was like, why do they always have women walking in
like heels or wedges or whatever on cobblestone streets? Team
tennis shoes. So yes, I totally saw that team tennis shoes.
(26:52):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
Stresses me out. It makes my feet hurt. In solidarity, maam,
I'm a klutz, so me too. I'll break an ankle
in ten minutes and I have so yeah. Yes, in
tennis shoes, in.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Tennis shoes, no less, yep, yep. All right, what did
