Amy (11:18):
So what did you think?

Garry (11:21):
I really enjoyed this movie.

Amy (11:23):
Yeah.

Garry (11:25):
I mean, think about it, you have three brothers grown
men living with their mama.

Amy (11:30):
Yes, yes.

Garry (11:33):
One in the house in the back.

Amy (11:35):
Yep.

Garry (11:36):
One in the basement, and I guess Luke lives upstairs in
his mom's house.

Amy (11:42):
We'll talk.
I have something to say aboutthat a little bit later, but I
just love the way it opened likethat.
Like you see them all they'reindependent at first and then
they go home and they're likenot that there's anything wrong
with that.
Sometimes I mean we've had kidsmove back in and move back out
a couple times.
You know it happens, but it wassuch a cute way to open the
movie.

Garry (12:03):
Yes, it really was Go ahead.
And I love how they intertwinedthis story with love, emotions,
sadness.

Amy (12:20):
It was funny, it was yeah, yeah, I agree, I really really
enjoyed it.

Garry (12:22):
I agree, and having three leading men.
Yes, I agree, I really reallyenjoyed it, I agree, and having
three leading men.

Amy (12:26):
Yes, big stars.

Garry (12:27):
And neither one's trying to outshine the other Just truly
shows you how close these guysare.
Yeah, yeah, at this cast.
That's a good point.

Amy (12:37):
I mean the chemistry is so good between the three of them
and their co-stars, and yeah, itjust really is so natural and
cool.

Garry (12:47):
Yes, and the supporting cast yeah, everybody Beautiful.
Yeah, I agree.
So what did you think?

Amy (12:53):
I agree with everything you said.
I think that you know.
I distinctly remember going tothe theater to see um three men
and a baby, which I know thisisn't like an offshoot of that,
but it is like it.
I mean you know you can't denythe similarities and I don't
know how intentional or not thatwas, but I mean it definitely

(13:16):
is there right so and I lovedthat right came out in the late
80s and tom selleck right tomselleck, um steve gutenberg and
Ted Danson yeah Right, those arethe three stars at the time.
So whenever I see something likethis, I'm sort of like ugh, am
I going to like it Now?
To be fair, we didn't watch itwhen it came out in 2022.

(13:38):
I think we watched it about ayear later, maybe the next
Christmas, yeah.

Garry (13:43):
I think it was last year.
No, it would have been 24.

Amy (13:46):
No, we watched it in 23.
I think yeah.
Yeah, we watched it in 23 andthen we've rewatched it a few
times since then.
Right, so, so.
But when it's coming out, I'malways I mean, it's okay for
people to kind of do this sortof thing, but I'm always you
know cause I'm such an eightiesgirl and anything that's redone
or remade and I'm like but thisisn't a remake.

(14:08):
I know this isn't a remake, butit was so good, it was so so
good.
The writing was really good,the banter was great oh, it was
between the brothers you know,and then you throw in the girls
that they kind of like.
I liked the whole theme of, youknow, family these are, these
are brothers who get along alittle bit on the surface, but

(14:29):
really there's some deep-seatedstuff and I mean, and I love, I
just love the way it was writtenbecause it's serious but it's
not too serious.
You don't get like down in theweeds with the emotions,
although there were parts thatwere touching and heartfelt and
everything.
So they played everythingreally well together, like I

(14:49):
said, between the, between thebanter, between the family,
between their mom, between theother girls and, of course, the
baby.
You know they're taking care ofthe baby, which is the crux of
the story.
So I just thought the way itall came together was really,
really good and I justthoroughly enjoyed it, yeah.

Garry (15:06):
I love it.
Yeah, I love it.
Yeah, I love it.
All right, well, you want totalk about favorite scenes?
Sure, you go first you want meto go first.

Amy (15:13):
Yep, so mine, a lot of mine , shockingly has to do with the
banter, because I have a verywitty, sarcastic sense of humor,
so I loved so many scenes inthis movie that had to do with
that.
Of course I love the emotionalstuff, but I also love so right
out of the gate when you knowtaylor.
Um, he gets fired or let goright and he's walking home and

(15:38):
he sees his neighbor, mark, whois not the brightest bulb in the
pack but and so he and taylor,mark and taylor of banter, and
you know Taylor's like did thetruck come?
With an unearnedself-confidence Because you know
Mark has this big right likebig truck.
And then Mark says no, it camewith a snowmobile.
And Taylor's like you've got abulb out and I'm not talking

(16:02):
about your lights.
You know, because then Markturned.
I just thought that that wasreally cute and funny and just
witty and I wonder how muchmaybe was ad lib.
So I just like that scene andwe talked a little bit earlier.
I liked the very beginningscene where you see where each
of the brothers are in theircareer.

(16:22):
Which again I'll talk about alittle bit more.
So that was one.

Garry (16:26):
What about you Speaking of bantering when they were at
the dinner table?

Amy (16:32):
Yes, that's my next one and , oh, my goodness, yes, so it's
Taylor and Stefan.
Taylor and Stefan.

Garry (16:37):
They're going back and forth talking about Dungeons and
Dragons and Pet Detective andMission Impossible.
I mean, come on.

Amy (16:46):
Well, it's like it's, I think.
Think, because doesn't taylorcall him a pet detective and
he's like I'm a pet therapistyeah sephan says that and then
he's like makes everything.
Somebody says something about,makes everything possible.
And then I don't know who it is.
It says your mission impossible.
And he's like what you know?
I just yes that the dinner withtheir mom it was.
That was funny I agree I agree,what else their mom?

(17:07):
That was funny, I agree, Iagree, what else you got?

Garry (17:08):
Because what was funny is their mom was talking about
decorating the tree and them twowere just going at it.

Amy (17:13):
Yeah, they weren't paying any attention to that.
I'm done.

Garry (17:17):
Another one of mine was when the brothers they had
Thomas and they dressed up inthose elf costumes and took
pictures with Santa at themarket.

Amy (17:26):
Yes, I had that too that was so cool well I love that,
that whole scene where they goright?
Is that when they do the iceskating or they take the baby,
or is that?

Garry (17:34):
later, that's when they have the baby on the ice yes
right and then they takepictures and they're taking
videos of the baby and it's justand just so cute, the slow-mo
and then with with taylor andthe candy cane in his mouth, I
mean.
Oh yeah, it's just reallyreally cute.

Amy (17:52):
Right, and you said they buy the elf costumes, yes, and
then that was just.
It was such a cool scene, yeah,when they're all around, and
yeah, it really worked.
I liked when the kid hustlesTaylor to borrow his wagon
because Taylor's oh my God, heneeds something to cart the baby
around right, yes, right.
He takes the baby to the storein the wagon and the woman's

(18:14):
like how old is he?
And he's like that, that old,he just says that.
No, he doesn't even say old.
I don't think he says that andhe kind of like points to him
yeah that's funny, just part ofthe wit and all of that.
I just, oh my gosh, I couldtalk about every scene like that
.
And then what about when Stefanand Taylor are trying to put
together the baby swing?

Garry (18:35):
Yes.

Amy (18:36):
Right and they're having a hard time and I think Stefan
says it's like they want us tothrow things because they're so
frustrated by the instructionsand we've all been there, right,
when you're trying, especiallybaby things like cribs and
playpens and the swings and youknow all of the toys that they

(18:57):
have and then Luke comes home,right, thomas, finally the baby
finally falls asleep and Lukecomes home and wakes him up and
they're like Luke.

Garry (19:04):
Right.

Amy (19:04):
Like be quiet, shh you know .
And then, what did they sayabout the cat gifs?
Oh, because they're like don'tyou answer a text message?
Isn't that what they said?

Garry (19:13):
Yeah.

Amy (19:13):
And he said something like they're just cat gifs, they're
boring cat gifs they're boringcat gifs.
And I love how Taylor's likehow dare you.
It's just so funny.
Tyler H so funny.
Tyler hines is so good in thatrole with that quick wit.
And then um, then he's likedon't let him get to you, to

(19:34):
stephan, he's saying that aboutluke, so I like that.

Garry (19:35):
Yeah, I thought that was funny too, because so taylor
ends up watching the baby, babythomas first, right, and you.
It's so funny because by theend of the day which which I
think is the end of the dayStefan comes home and he doesn't
see Taylor sitting in a chairand he opens the refrigerator

(19:56):
and when he closed it he turnsand there he is and Taylor looks
like he's been to hell and back.
He's like all disheveled andhe's just sitting there and he
was like, oh, it's been a longday or something and Stefan goes
.
It's only been two hours.

Amy (20:11):
Well, he's like.
You have no idea what I've beenthrough.
I was extorted by a 10-year-oldthat was so, so funny and then,
after Stefan says it's onlybeen two hours, he's like, but
it feels like a lifetime.

Garry (20:21):
Yes, he's so good at those.

Amy (20:33):
What's so relatable about that is, you know, even if
you've had to babysit your ownkids, sometimes it just feels
like forever.
Things go wrong or you'retrying to figure it out, and
especially in their circumstancewhere you know the baby's
dropped off at the fire stationand it's specifically to Luke,
like it's addressed to Luke, youknow the oldest brother,
brother, and he brings the babyhome but then he leaves.
Yeah, well, their mom is.
I guess we didn't explain.
Their mom is there, right, um,played by marker colin who was

(20:56):
in three men and a baby.
Yep, um, but she's there for alittle bit, but then she has to
leave, so she can't.
You know, they're kind ofcounting on her and that part is
is kind of funny too, how theyend up with the baby the three
of them and they're counting onher.
And that part is kind of funnytoo, how they end up with the
baby the three of them andthey're trying to take turns and
then, like you said, then afterTaylor, then it's Stefan's turn
for the baby and he's going tomake cookies because it's so
easy to hold the baby and makecookies right and.

Garry (21:22):
Taylor comes in.
You keep wanting to say Tyler,I don't know what that is, why
did they make him so close tohis real name?
And so he comes in and Stefanis, he's got flour all over his
face and cookies are burning.
And then the next one that Ihave is when Luke comes in and

(21:45):
he sees them too, right yeah.
He's like, oh man, you guysjust don't know how to do it
Right.
So he takes the baby andthey're like waiting for the
next day to see him.

Amy (21:55):
Right, cause they're like oh yeah, yeah, you're so good at
it, how easy is it.

Garry (21:59):
They come in and he's sitting there baking cookies and
he put the swing together andthey're all like really Well, we
warmed him up for you?

Amy (22:08):
Yeah, it's funny.
Yeah, because Luke is justdoing a phenomenal job.
Of course you know, the oldestsibling steps up and he doesn't
have any problem.
He doesn't have flour all overhimself like Stefan did.
He doesn't look all disheveledlike Taylor did.
So do you have any more?
I thought that was cool, LikeTaylor did.

Garry (22:26):
So do you have any more?

Amy (22:27):
I thought that was cool, Of course, when they dance you
know we haven't gotten into thewhole light display of it all,
but when they do, is it theSugar Plum?

Garry (22:37):
Fairy or whatever From Nutcracker, from.

Amy (22:39):
Nutcracker and they do their dance for the girls that
are there and Mark right.
Isn't Mark in the house at thattime.
Oh, no, maybe not no, he's notthere there, and mark right
isn't mark in the house at thattime.
Oh no, maybe no, no, he's notthere, sorry, sorry, no, not
mark.
So, um so I liked.

Garry (22:52):
Of course, I love that.

Amy (22:53):
Yeah, that was really cool because they're like it's
something they did when theywere younger.
So those are moments where youknow they they kind of bicker
and banter and then you see themkind of have moments that they
remember when they were younger,when they had a good time time,
and then they try to win thelight competition, the Christmas
light competition for their mom, because they realize it's hard

(23:17):
for three of them to take careof one, and she was one person
and took care of all three aftertheir dad left.
So they're getting a perspectivethat they did not have before
about how hard she must have hadit.
Oh yeah, that's no joke and howmuch of a pain in the keister
they probably were.

Garry (23:33):
Oh, they seemed like they were a pain in the keister.

Amy (23:36):
I mean, I could talk about so many scenes were just so good
and so well written and so andjust fun.

Garry (23:43):
Yeah.

Amy (23:43):
You know, just a fun movie with heart.
That's what I loved about this.

Garry (23:49):
So you have any more.

Amy (23:52):
No, I don't have to.

Garry (23:54):
No All right, you want to move on to?
I mean, like I said, I couldtalk about Cheers.

Amy (23:57):
Cheers and jeers.

Garry (23:59):
Okay, your biggest cheer or cheers One cheer, my biggest
cheer, or one of them, is howthe brothers came together to
watch Thomas After they each hadtheir turn with Thomas.
They all kind of came togetherand, you know, they kind of
figured out that you know, toraise a baby you need a village,

(24:20):
right, right.
And so they learned how to doit.
And I thought that wasconsidering their upcoming and
their dad had left, yeah yeah,and they were little Seeming
they kind of learned to lean oneach other and accept help and
they kind of yeah.
Yeah, so that was one of mycheers.

Amy (24:38):
You know what we didn't talk about.
I got to go back to thisbecause I just glanced at my
notes.
But we talked about how, howgreat luke was right, but then
luke is gone all day and hehasn't texted.
That hasn't?
Luke takes the baby right andhe goes right I don't know to
the fire state.
I forget where he takes him tothe fire station and um and

(25:01):
taylor and stephan are kind ofwaiting for him like he's not
checking in.
He's not texting them.
They don't know where the babyis.
You know they're at home.
I thought that that scene wasreally funny.
And then when he walks in,they're like where were you?
And he's like you know, I wasout, I'm going to make you know.
And then he starts to makedinner and he brought the wrong
baby home.

Garry (25:20):
Yes.

Amy (25:20):
When they look at the baby.

Garry (25:23):
Okay.
And what I had that as one ofmy jeers.

Amy (25:27):
Oh, you do.

Garry (25:28):
Yes, oh.

Amy (25:37):
Only because who in their right mind does not when you're
putting the baby in the car inwhen did he say he was?
I don't even know.

Garry (25:39):
I think he was at a toy store or something, I don't even
know where he was andunfortunately there were two
baby seats that had the sametype blanket and he just turned
around and picked one up and putit in the car.
But wouldn't you just raise theblanket?

Amy (25:54):
up just to make sure the baby is okay.
You would think you would, butyou know, never wake a sleeping
baby.
Like you don't want toaccidentally do that.
And yeah, I mean of course youwould check.
I mean I get that, but I'msaying but I mean, you hear
about people leaving their kidsin the car.
You know they forget, they arerunning into.

(26:15):
You know, I mean, I guess that'snot the same as taking a
completely different baby.
But yeah, yeah, no, I get it.
I just liked it because notthat he forgot the baby or got
the wrong baby, but just becausehe was kind of like what's the
big deal?
I'm great at this, and then hecomes home literally with the
wrong kid in the car seat and hetries to justify it.

(26:38):
And then they're like you losta baby.

Garry (26:40):
Yeah, you, you, you were worse than us.

Amy (26:42):
You were worse than us.
You lost a baby.
No, or worse than.

Garry (26:46):
I lost a baby.
No, I get it.

Amy (26:46):
So anyway, all right.

Garry (26:48):
Any more cheers I digress .

Amy (26:50):
No, not cheers.
We're on cheers right Cheers.

Garry (26:51):
I said I didn't say any yet.

Amy (26:53):
Oh, so I've kind of already talked about it the writing,
the delivery the banter, theheartfelt moments, the
revelation.
I just thought it all flowedreally well, with the exception
of maybe picking up the wrongbaby.
I don't know, I don't know howmany times I could say I just

(27:13):
thoroughly enjoyed it from startto finish, and even with the
wrong baby and all.
So that was a big cheer for me.
Another one, it, you know, and,and they did such a great job

(27:38):
and they, you know, turned it alittle bit, you know, made it a
little bit different.
So, of course, the baby youknow, in three men and a baby,
the baby's actually Ted Danson'sRight, but in this one it's not
Luke's, it was just left forhim at the fire station yeah,
yeah, so yeah, and you find thatout near the end that

Garry (28:01):
yeah sophie was the one who left baby thomas and it was
because, when she was in labor,luke was the, the fireman on
scene and he stayed there withher and got her through it, and
and she remembered it, helpedhim deliver the baby.
So that's why she dropped himoff the fire station with a note
with his name on it.
Yeah, because everybody'sthinking it's his baby.

Amy (28:23):
Right, he doesn't know who it's with or whatever.
So that was kind of a funnypart to it too, right.
And then you know, right,taylor loses his job but goes
home.
You know, stephan has thatsevere social anxiety.

(28:44):
We learn right away.
But you know so he's a petpsychologist, so he doesn't have
to talk to people.
You know, he can talk to pets,you know, and he lives.
Taylor loses his job.
We see that he lives at home inthe basement.
Stefan has social anxieties, apet psychologist.
He lives in the back house likeyou mentioned.
Luke is a firefighter but alsolives at home, but we find out

(29:07):
he's been remodeling a homeforever and trying to get it
complete so he can move out.
But he too is at home.
So you see, so you get aglimpse into each one, and the
same thing happens at the end ofthe movie right right.
So stefan admits to suzy she hada pet that she had gone to him
with.
But you know they kind ofdevelop a relationship.

(29:27):
So he admits to her that helikes her and he's like you make
me not want to hide away,because that's what he does when
he gets anxiety and she kisseshim.
And it reminded me of like youmake me not want to hide away
because that's what he does whenhe gets anxiety and she kisses
him.
And it reminded me of like youhad me at hello.

Garry (29:38):
Right.

Amy (29:38):
You know no.

Garry (29:40):
Show me the money, yeah.

Amy (29:43):
Taylor apologizes to his team where he worked.

Garry (29:46):
Yes.

Amy (29:47):
At his former employer's office.
You know he kind of has togrovel a little bit, but he's,
he comes around.
That's part of the whole themeof the movie.
Right, Figuring out whereyou're at in life.
He's learning that he can'tjust be the way he was, and
skate through, and so heapologizes.
He goes back to his job.
And who was in?

(30:13):
Signed, sealed, delivered as?

Garry (30:14):
Norman.

Amy (30:16):
Norman Shout out yes, yeah, it was kind of cool.

Garry (30:21):
It was cool that he actually welcomed him back.
Yeah, yeah, it was pretty cool.
I thought it was cool.
Yeah, that was cool.
That's a Norman move rightthere, that is a Norman move.

Amy (30:30):
Luke goes to the baby Thomas' mom's house has.
She has since come and pickedup the baby basically she said
she needed she just needed abreak a little bit of a break,
um, and then he's like.
You know, I know what it's liketo carry the world because he's
taking care of his two youngerbrothers after his dad left and

(30:53):
he had all that responsibility.
And then she invites him in tosee thomas.
So I just, and then you go to ayear later yes, right, and
they're all together.
Yes, you know, luke is withsophie right and stephens with
suzy and taylor is fiona is shethere also?
Yeah, so they're all and markthe neighbor is there.

(31:14):
Mark comes in last, mark comesin last.

Garry (31:16):
With the fire.

Amy (31:17):
So Luke's house is done, you know, and, like I said, even
Mark is there.
So I just I really that's a bigcheer for me.
You had the beginning of all ofthem and then the end of all of
them you see where they're atand then the middle.
You know, we kind of saw whatthey all went through right to
get to that point.
Yeah, so, and their mom ishappy that they're all they

(31:40):
finally come around to nothating each other, appreciating
each other and decorating theChristmas tree that she wanted
decorated and the house.

Garry (31:48):
And the house, and the house, the nativity scene.
Yeah, and the nativity, thenativity, and the house, the
nativity scene.

Amy (31:52):
Yeah, and the nativity, the nativity.

Garry (31:55):
And I just love when you go to turn the lights on the
Christmas tree, lights on on thehouse.
They come on everybody'scheering and then pew.

Amy (32:05):
And then they go out.
Yeah, that's right.
Oh, that's right, becauseFiona's doing the light show
from the inside.
That's right.
Yeah, then you have thatChristmas vacation moment.

Garry (32:14):
It's almost like a Christmas vacation, because she
goes, I'll fix it.
And then she runs to the garageand opens up the panel, the
breaker panel.

Amy (32:24):
Breaker panel, yeah, and she's trying to fix it, and
they're out front doing the livenativity scene, right, and then
they kind of just wing it.

Garry (32:31):
And that's when their mom comes in.

Amy (32:32):
Yeah, and that's when their mom comes in.

Garry (32:34):
Yeah, it was really good, it was really good.
Yeah, it was really really good.
So did you have any jeers?

Amy (32:38):
I did not have any jeers.

Garry (32:41):
I just had that one.
That was it Just the one.

Amy (32:43):
That's it.
That's all you had for a jeer.
That's good, that's pretty good.

Garry (32:47):
Yeah, it is yeah All right.

Amy (32:51):
What was your tinsel-topped moment?
You had to pick one.

Garry (32:55):
It was when the brothers were in the car and they were
talking about their feelings andtheir emotion when their dad
left.
Because Luke kind of went offand talked about I do everything
for everybody and never for meand they apologized.
You know.

(33:15):
Taylor talked about how heskates through, yeah, you know.
And Stefan talks about how he'safraid and he always went to
his room just to hide from it.

Amy (33:26):
He admitted he did hide yeah.

Garry (33:27):
And them getting it all out in the open and they all
understanding each other broughtthem closer together.
Yeah, that was a really goodscene.
Yeah, so what about you?

Amy (33:39):
If I had to pick one tinsel-top moment, that would
probably be it.
I mean the whole.
I just appreciated the movie asa whole.
You know, I mean, yeah, thatwas a great moment where they
finally come together.
And what do I always say?
It's about communication, aboutgetting it out so it doesn't
fester because, things canfester for years and that's what

(34:03):
you know.
My tittle-top moment is just theway the writing was that
handled all of it in a way thatyou know, we had that moment in
the car, but there were also thebanter moments there were also,
of course, it was full ofChristmas.
We had the baby of it all.
You know we had that moment inthe car, but there were also the
banter moments there were also,of course, it was full of
Christmas, we had the baby, ofit all you know, and I liked how
, I really liked how they.

(34:23):
You know the mom, you know,when she left the baby at the
fire station she knew the babywould be safe with Luke, because
she trusted him, because hehelped deliver the baby and all
that jazz.
And sometimes, not that youneed a break, but sometimes if
you don't have any help or youdon't have family around, right
and there's.
I mean, there's a reason,there's a phrase.
It takes a village.

(34:44):
And Barbara, their mom, so yeah,and I like that they had the
mom say look.

Garry (34:51):
She deserves a second chance.
Yeah, everybody needs a break.

Amy (34:53):
you know we understand like it happens and you know the
appreciation of the boys fortheir mom, because it does take
kids to grow up pay their ownbills, do their own thing, raise
their own kid.
You know to really have itingrained upon them how much
sacrifice parents do for theirkids.

Garry (35:13):
Yep A lot of the time you know.

Amy (35:15):
So my tinsel top moment is probably just the whole thing.
Sorry, oh awesome.

Garry (35:20):
So out of five ornaments, how many?

Amy (35:23):
I have to give it a five.
I mean the three guys at thetop of the bill, you know, I
mean they.
They're so great together.
You talked about it.
The chemistry between them andall the supporting cast really
was great.
I love the neighbor, you know,who's like his elevator doesn't
reach the top floor but he'sstill fun and funny in the

(35:43):
banter and so um, yeah, so Ijust you know andrew walker,
tyler hines and um paul camppaul campbell.
We're so, so good yeah so sogood.
Yeah, so, so good, and we knowwe've seen the next movie.
We're excited about the thirdone, but just the chemistry,
like you said, it just reallyshines through.

Garry (36:04):

Amy (36:05):
Their actual friendship and their banter.

Garry (36:09):
Well, I give it five ornaments too.

Amy (36:11):

You'd hang five ornaments onthe tree.
Yes, I would, all right.

Garry (36:14):

Oh, but let's give a shout outto Felicia Simone, who plays
Jones, one of Luke's co-workersat the fire station.
