Liz (00:00):
Hello.
The story you're about to hearis true and the names have been
changed if they're lucky.
(00:24):
Welcome to tell that one storyan anecdotal podcasts to
brighten your day.
I'm your cohost, Liz.
Jeremy (00:30):
And I'm Jeremy.
Liz (00:31):
Hey Jeremy.
Jeremy (00:32):
Hey Liz.
Liz (00:33):
So I've had some time to think about after our last
episode, we talked aboutsomething very important and
close to my heart, which is theChristmas Prince, film, genre
that is finally getting therespect it deserves.
And it is now in full bloom onNetflix and Amazon Prime.
Jeremy (00:50):
You had me there cause I almost thought you're going to
say that whole being in theemergency room, peeing on
yourself.
So I'm glad that.
I'm glad that this isn't.
Liz (01:00):
Yeah, no, it's not that it's better also.
You don't have to reference thelast episode in case someone
isn't able to listen to it,because now they're like have
some assumptions about me justfrom those words.
Jeremy (01:13):
And what kind of situations you find yourself in?
Liz (01:15):
Anyway.
Jeremy (01:17):
More on this Princess Secret Princess Story movie
genre.
Liz (01:20):
Yeah, I did some research.
I went to just kind of see howmany Christmas prince movies are
out there.
And I updated the list that Ihave for 2020.
So this is maybe a list of like2017 to 2020.
Jeremy (01:34):
Can I guess like, can, I guess how many there are, I
honestly like a dozen, therecannot be more than a dozen.
Liz (01:44):
Well, there are 20 in fact.
Jeremy (01:48):
Twenty?
Liz (01:50):
Twenty, two zero.
So more than a dozen, more thana Baker's dozen a prince's
dozen.
Jeremy (01:57):
Almost a double dozen.
Liz (01:58):
Almost a double dozen?
If I looked harder, I'm sure Icould make it two dozen.
Jeremy (02:03):
There are twenty.
Are all of these part of likeHallmark or are these.
Liz (02:07):
Wait.
Jeremy wait, listen, listen didyou hear that?
That was another ChristmasPrince movie being made.
Jeremy (02:15):
You could Literally start on the 5th of December and
watch one every day,
Liz (02:21):
Every day.
And then on Christmas day youcan unwrap the story.
Okay.
So I have, I've put these in I'mgoing to read through the titles
because they're delightful and Ihave a couple of notes on some
of these, but they'realphabetical.
Jeremy (02:36):
How do you have that many titles?
Liz (02:37):
Well, you'll see.
Cause it, they're not veryinnovative.
Some of these titles Hallmark isdoing their good thing.
They're like a Christmas moviemachine that pumps out 12, 15
Christmas movies a year, and afew of them happen to have
princes in them.
So we start with the ChristmasCarousel, which has a secret
(02:57):
Prince in it, but uh, not in thetitle seems fine.
Then we go to a Christmas inRoyal fashion.
She is working her way up in thefashion industry.
You see that Royal fashion?
Get it?
Yeah.
A Christmas Prince, A ChristmasPrince: The Royal Baby, a
Christmas Prince (03:12):
The Royal Wedding.
Now that's the series we hadtalked about how there were
three movies that then made anappearance in the other movie.
And so that's part of theChristmas Prince EU extended
universe.
Jeremy (03:22):
Wait, I need to say something about this.
So there's this whole secretPrince universe, right?
What'd you call it the EU?
Liz (03:30):
The extended universe.
Jeremy (03:32):
It's like S secret Prince SPEU.
It makes me want to vomit.
Liz (03:40):
No, it's the greatest it's like, yes.
I like a warm hug of spewing.
Jeremy (03:45):
Sorry for all those secret Prince fans out there
Liz (03:48):
you are one and you don't know what you're secretly.
So
Jeremy (03:51):
I'm secretly a Secret Prince fan?
Is that what you're saying?
Liz (03:54):
You don't know yet, but you're already in too deep to
get out.
The call is coming from insidethe house, and it's the secret
Prince for Christmas! Okay.
So I should say extendeduniverse is more of like when
there are novels that extend theuniverse from the film to Star
Wars nerd out
Jeremy (04:11):
Oh! I'm not doubting.
Liz (04:12):
The Marvel universe.
It's the
Jeremy (04:15):
MCU, yeah
Liz (04:16):
MCU cinematic universe.
So it's like the ChristmasPrince universe, cinematic
universe we'll work on that.
Yeah.
So those three titles, ChristmasPrince are part of the Netflix
Christmas Prince CinematicUniverse.
Then we have a Prince forChristmas.
A Princess for Christmas,
Jeremy (04:36):
Are those part of the same universe or are those not,
they're not cousins, cousinsthat just want to be secret
royalty.
Liz (04:42):
No, not that I know of.
But maybe it sounds like youmight have an idea.
Jeremy (04:46):
I think you and I could build this.
This could be a whole franchisethat we can create.
Yes.
It's like a whole family ofsecrets.
Right.
And it takes place in Russia.
There's one in Spain.
Liz (04:58):
All the way to the top!
Jeremy (04:59):
Genovia.
Right.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Liz (05:01):
Well, that's that's the other thing is, I can break down
the themes and the tropes inthese films.
So one is like a bunch of madeup countries.
Jeremy (05:09):
Yes!
Liz (05:09):
Cause you don't want you, when you said Spain, I thought
you said space and I wassuddenly very interested in your
take on the Christmas Princefranchise, Prince for Christmas
and Princess for Christmas, ARoyal Christmas, a Royal New
Year's Eve.
Ah, see now is it Christmas, butit kind of is a Royal Winter, A
(05:32):
Winter Princess.
Now we're back to Christmas.
Christmas at the Palace,Christmas with a Prince.
Okay.
Jeremy (05:39):
Are these all secret princes or princesses?
Liz (05:42):
They're not secret.
So I have already confused youwith the word secret.
Jeremy (05:46):
I know, I thought this was all about hidden identities.
Liz (05:49):
No, no, no.
There's a few of those withinthis.
It's a sub genre within thegenre, the genre, we're talking
about it as A Christmas Princegenre
Jeremy (05:57):
And he could be known.
Yes, or she could be known too.
Liz (06:01):
Yeah, exactly.
Or a long lost relative isrelated to oh, it turns out
that, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Jeremy (06:09):
What greater gift is there than like finding somebody
who's dead rich and owns acountry?
I mean, doesn't everybody wantthat?
Liz (06:16):
Well that says a lot about you and your priorities.
Like I said, secretly obsessed?
Uh,
Jeremy (06:25):
Me?
No..
Liz (06:27):
Yeah.
Cause there's also a bunch ofprince or Secret Prince romance
films that aren't aroundChristmas.
So I didn't even count those.
These are only specificallyroyalty, Christmas.
20 films! Royalty at Christmas.
Okay.
So we have Christmas at thePalace, Christmas with a Prince.
Now this film super low budgetdelightful, but that brings me
(06:52):
to just his giant white belt andhis costume at the end of the
movie, because every ChristmasPrince film at the end, he asked
some sort of formal regalia thatit usually.
Jeremy (07:04):
Some ceremony.
Yes.
Liz (07:05):
Yeah, like he's got some metals and like some tassels and
a belt.
And this one, it looks likesomeone stole a belt from 1985
and it is bright white, and itis the most distracting thing to
me and I, other people haven'tnecessarily mentioned it.
So maybe it's just my own thing,but just enjoy that film for the
belt itself.
Jeremy (07:25):
It just occurred to me.
You have watched all thesemovies, haven't you?
Liz (07:28):
No, I have not.
I've watched mos...- some ofthem.
No I had
Jeremy (07:32):
How many out of the 20 have you watched?
Liz (07:34):
Okay.
I didn't do that math yet.
I will have to they all kind ofblur together, so I'm going to
have to look back at the covers.
I just have the name, but nowI'm determined to watch all of
them, just to have that meritbadge for the Girl Scouts sash
that I have.
Jeremy (07:49):
The Christmas Prince merit badge you can just show
everybody you've done it.
Liz (07:53):
She did it.
She's single at Christmas ladiesand gentlemen, she did it.
She watched all of themChristmas Prince movies.
Am I a princess yet?
Do I get my own crown if I watchthem all.
No you don't.
From what I can tell, Oh,speaking of Crown for Prince for
Crown for Christmas.
No, there's no"A" Crown forChristmas.
Jeremy (08:16):
Ooh,
Liz (08:17):
My crinsmus Prince my crinns...
I'm saying Christmas too much MyChristmas Prince.
Different from Christmas Princeor a Christmas Prince.
My Christmas Prince.
Jeremy (08:28):
This should just be a word jumble of Christmas, prince
royalty, crown, castle,princess, royal palace.
And then how many differentpermutations of those words can
we make?
There's our title!
Liz (08:40):
Once upon a Holiday, which is like now it's not just
Christmas.
It's holiday One Royal holiday,Royal Christmas Ball.
And then of course the PrincessSwitch and the Princess Switched
2 (08:51):
Switched Again.
Jeremy (08:54):
Wait, is that all 20?
Was that 20 of them?
Liz (08:56):
Yep.
Jeremy (08:56):
So how many of those exist with sequels versus
standalone?
Liz (09:01):
I think only Oh, I missed one.
The Christmas Prince, ChrisChristmas with a Prince has a
sequel it's like Becoming Royal.
I didn't know.
I don't know if that one'sactually at Christmas though.
So of these, I think three ofthem, the Christmas Prince
Trilogy.
(09:21):
And as part of that universe, wenow know the Princess Switch.
And then Crins Crinsmus,Christmas, Christmas with the
Prince, the guy with the belt,they have a sequel and I have
not watched it and I have notwatched.
Jeremy (09:37):
Because the belt is just too distracting.
You couldn't?
Liz (09:38):
Well, I want, I wanted to.
Here's the thing, Jeremy, everytime I try and buy it, they will
not let me, I go to Prime andthey're like not available in
your country.
And I'm like, I can see thepicture I'm clicking on it.
I'm trying to give you money.
Is it because I'm in the appthen I go to the website.
No, I mean, I don't put too muchwork into it, but I haven't yet
been able to find a way to watchthis film.
Jeremy (10:00):
The fact that you want to buy it is killing me and fact
that you tried to buy itmultiple times.
Liz (10:07):
They won't let me.
Jeremy (10:08):
Which one is this?
This is the Prince forChristmas, or what's the big
white belt one.
Liz (10:11):
Christmas with a Prince
Jeremy (10:13):
Christmas with a Prince.
Is that the Prince you want tobe with?
Liz (10:16):
Nope.
Not at all He, it looks likehe's probably like 50 trying to
play late twenties.
Jeremy (10:25):
Oh get out.
Liz (10:26):
He's super buff though.
Do I need to share my screen allof a sudden?
So he's super buff, just like Ijust plastered with my
wallpaper.
Yeah.
He's trying to play like latetwenties, thirties.
He dyed his hair.
He's super buff because I thinkhe like works out like that's
his other job, I guess.
But he has a delightful one ofthose, cause this is another,
(10:48):
I'm trying to work on myChristmas Prince drinking game.
And one of them is accentswitching.
So he, he at the beginning ofthe movie is trying to be like
European, British, but like inand out of that accent, like
five minutes and he's given upand then like, Oh right.
And he talks to his fathercharacter cause daddy issues is
(11:09):
also another
Jeremy (11:10):
thing in these movies.
Liz (11:11):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's like drink daddy issues.
And so like talks to dad who isan actor who's actually British.
Oh, right.
I'm supposed to be British.
Now I'm going to parrot, youraccent and have that accent now,
which I'm sure is great for thatactor.
Like, Oh, who am I talking tonow?
My American son or my Britishson?
Jeremy (11:29):
That's why he as his issues.
Liz (11:30):
So he goes in and out of his accent so much that I was
like, wait, what?
Wait.
So.
Oh my gosh.
Anyway, so I have to send you alink to that one.
That one's a, I believe onNetflix, Christmas with a Prince
there.
It's great.
She's a doctor.
Her brother went to school withthis Prince.
He broke his leg, so he has tostay somewhere.
(11:51):
So they decide to put him in thechildren's hospital ward that
she's in, because of course youdo that.
You put a prince the cancerward.
And they let him do this becausehe's donating money to the
hospital, which again is likebreaking so many rules.
I watched this with my my nursesister for her to be like, this
is not how medical works.
(12:13):
This is breaking so many.
This is illogical.
THat would not be allowed.
Jeremy (12:15):
Wait, is he, is he like a hard gruff guy too?
And then all of a sudden he'saround these kids and then he
softens up or no?
Like, is he a jerk?
Liz (12:21):
Maybe.
They try, he's kind of a jerk.
He's kind of full of himself andhis Instagram.
Jeremy (12:27):
hmmm.
Liz (12:29):
Jeremy.
Jeremy (12:29):
Why are you looking at me like that?
Liz (12:31):
This is an intervention,
Jeremy (12:32):
I am so.
ha ha ha.
Surprised.
This whole podcast was a ruise!
Liz (12:35):
This whole podcast was a ruise so I can talk to you about
your instagram.
Jeremy (12:38):
Two episodes in! Yes! Yeah.
Everybody pops up on the zoomcall, my mom, my brother.
Liz (12:46):
Everyone.
That was my experience when Igot laid off.
At some point, I'll have to tellyou that great story of where
I'm having a one-on-one and allof a sudden, a bunch of people
jumped in.
And then I realized all threepeople who crashed our call from
HR.
And I'm like, Oh yeah, no.
I was like, what the fu oh,that, you know, that makes
sense.
Jeremy (13:08):
We need to start this.
We need to start this podcast.
Liz (13:10):
Oh, Oh yeah.
You're right.
Exactly.
Now, speaking of seamlesstransition, Jeremy, did you have
a story that you wanted to tellme about a time where you may
have felt or not felt like aChristmas prince?
Jeremy (13:25):
No, no, I did not.
But what I do have is a storyabout me and my mom and this
takes place about 10 years ago.
And it starts with this franticphone call that I get from my
brother.
And he's like, Hey, wake up andmind you it's around seven
o'clock in the morning.
Liz (13:43):
Oh, wow.
Jeremy (13:44):
Right.
Liz (13:45):

Jeremy (13:47):
Yeah It's like a Wednesday.
You know, so, my family, reallyisn't Hey, let's just call and
chat.

Liz (13:55):
Right.
Yeah.
Like usually you have toschedule a call a week in
advance, send two follow-upemails and the text reminder.
Jeremy (14:00):
Right!
Liz (14:00):
And then, right!
Jeremy (14:01):
Especially with this brother,
Liz (14:02):
what's your brother's name?
Jeremy (14:04):
I can't say that on this podcast.
Liz (14:06):
How about the human torch?
Jeremy (14:08):
Torch, we'll just call him Torch,
Liz (14:10):
Ok.
Let's call it.
Let's call him the human torch.
You can call him torch if youwant.
So your brother, the humantorch, who sometimes is on fire.
Oh, calls you at 7:00 AM.
Okay.
Jeremy (14:21):
Calls me 7:00 AM.
And he's like, Hey mom got in acrazy wreck and I don't think
she's okay.
She called me, she left me avoicemail and she's delirious
and she ran into some Oasis andit's crashed into a waterfall.
Liz (14:35):
Wait.

She ran into an Oasis.
Yeah.
Okay.
When I hear Oasis, I thinkdesert, like, was your mom on
vacation?
She's just like in the Seattlearea,
Jeremy (14:48):
Ok, this is what's messed up.
He got the call from theauthorities who had my mom in
the hospital in Omak.
For people who don't know thearea here, that is five hours
away from anything It isNowheresville so my brother got
a call at 7:00 AM and then herealized he looked at his

voicemail and he actually had acall from her at 5:30 AM.
And this is where yeah.
And this is where he gets theOasis and the waterfall thing.

and ran into an Oasis.
Maybe she's the only one whocould see the world as it is.
She found the one Oasis in theWashington in the desert.
Jeremy (15:34):
Yeah.
So he plays back this voicemailfor me.
And she's been knocked out orwhatever.
Like it's real, it's real.
Liz (15:40):
We should start the story with saying she's okay.
She's alive, recovered
Jeremy (15:46):
My mom is the toughest woman you will ever meet.
And she probably should havedied there as well as a couple
other times.
And she had a full recovery andhad nothing wrong with her.
Yeah.
Liz (15:55):
You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen, Jeremy said, his
mom should've died.

as much cell phone coverage aswe have now.
So I'm staring at my cell phonethinking, Oh my gosh, I can't
even make a phone call.
I'm staring at my gas.
You know, I've got none.
And I was praying.
(20:05):
I was like, Oh my gosh, God,I've got to make it at the
bottom of this Hill to a gasstation.
Liz (20:09):
Oh, my god! so were you just in neutral just hoping not
to die?
Jeremy (20:13):
I coasted in neutral down that whole mountain and I
barely rolled into the first gasstation.
The moment I got to the top ofthat mountain.
I turned it in to neutral and Ijust coasted.
It was like the grace of God.
I made it to that gas station.
Liz (20:29):
The Oasis that was the gas station that saved you.
Jeremy (20:32):

So this, this must be what it was like on the Oregon trail.
I'm sure.
They're like, ah, I'm gonna runout of gas and I've got
dysentery.
Just coast, right in.
Woo.
Jeremy (20:56):
I always died of dysentery.
I Hated that.
I hate that game.
I always hated that game.
So I get back in.
I've got enough gas.
I'm going to make this.
We're going to get there beforesundown.
I'm going to find out what'sgoing on, but going through that
whole Eastern Washington area.
There's nothing out there,nothing.
And there was nothing green.
It's farmland and stuff, butthere was no farm going on.
(21:19):
I don't know what season it was,but it was all dead.
Liz (21:21):
So it was like the reverse of when Dorothy comes to the
wizard of a land of Oz andeverything turns in color, it
was like you walked through andit was all the color was that
yeah.
Jeremy (21:30):
Death Valley.
Absolute death Valley.
Liz (21:33):
Oh man.
Jeremy (21:34):
And what I never keyed in on, is this is the other
thing about my mom.
This is why she is tough asnails.
She called my brother and left avoicemail at 5:30 AM.
She got in a wreck and she lefther house, which is over here,
five hours away to get to thatjob in the morning.
She left Seattle betweenmidnight and 2:00 AM in the
(21:58):
morning for that drive.
That is my mom for a job.
Liz (22:04):
There's I have some notes.
Isn't there a commute like that?
Jeremy (22:10):
Yeah.
Liz (22:11):
Oh, wow.
Jeremy (22:12):
Because She was subbing, like she's a sub and she does
occupational therapy So, youknow, that's where I was like,
what the heck is she doing?
In Omak at 5:30 AM, five hoursaway from home.
She should be in bed.
Right.
Or watching stories or somethinglike she should not be getting
up.
Okay.
Liz (22:29):
That's True.
But I just, when you say it likethat, it reminds me of one of
those books where they're like,we have found an artifact of a
submarine from world war II thathas appeared in a field in
Wisconsin.
It's like, what is it that evengets there?
What's the historical.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jeremy (22:46):
How did my mom get in and Oasis at 5:30 AM in the
morning,
Liz (22:50):
Five hours away from anything.
Jeremy (22:52):
Five hours away from anything.
So I've gotten my total SherlockHolmes hat on the whole ride I'm
going to find out this mysteryand everybody at home knows i'm
doing this mystery.
Liz (23:00):
You should have remembered to put that on before you forgot
your gas.
Jeremy (23:05):
Then I would have remembered
Liz (23:06):
you would have been like, Oh, the clues say, perhaps I
should get gas.
So now that you've gotten gas,you're like, Oh my hat, put it
on.
Ha ha
Jeremy (23:15):
Do you want to know the end or not?
Liz (23:18):
I do.
I do.
Okay.
Kind of.
Yes.
Jeremy (23:21):
I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
I can't piece it togetherbecause there's nowhere in this
whole place where there's anygreen.
There is no green.
So if there's no green, therecould not be any water and
there's no rivers or anything.
I'm like, screw this.
I'm going to get my mom gonnamake sure she's okay.
I go to the hospital, I pick herup.
She's totally bruised up andeverything.
I mean the poor thing, but she'swicked strong.
(23:42):
Right.
And so she's just, I can dothis.
I'll be fine.
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walkto the car, you know?
Liz (23:46):
Did she seem like She was more aware than in the previous
voicemail.
Okay.
So she was now it's to the pointwhere she was annoyed and
probably embarrassed and beinglike, whatever, like if that's
what my parents would have beenlike.
Jeremy (23:56):
Yeah.
She was back in her normalmental state.
She might've been fatigued andtired, but that was more just
like physical.
So she was like, let's go, I'mhungry.
Let's get some clam chowder.
Liz (24:04):
I was like, what do you do after you leave in Oasis?
What are you hungry for?
Jeremy (24:08):
That's my mom.
She wants seafood.
Liz (24:10):
She wanted clam chowder?
Is that actually what she no Ithought you were just making it
up like, literally, she waslike, I survived a car accident
in an Oasis and i want clamchowder.
Jeremy (24:20):
And crab cakes.
And I'm like, mom, we're inEastern Washington.
There's no water around here.
We probably should not eat crabcakes around here.
This is Not the place to getfresh.
Alaskan.
Yes, we don't get Alaskan,salmon here that's just not
going to happen.
Liz (24:35):
Yeah, fresh Dungeness crab
Jeremy (24:36):
Or, or lobster.
I want lobster.
You know, she loves lobster.
Ok.
Liz (24:40):
I love lobster, I love lamp.
Sorry.
So continue after you.
So now you've got you have yournext mission is a clam chowder
mission.
Jeremy (24:51):
Get her fed.
And so we get in the car and wehead back and I realized like 45
minutes away from the hospital,I'm like, no way, I'm not
leaving this place until I findout what's going on this is
going to kill me for the rest ofmy life.
If i do not find this spot.
Liz (25:04):
Where is this Oasis?
This waterfall.
I mean, At the very least youneed to see the green swimming,
the waterfall to learn of theday that their grandmother
survived.
Jeremy (25:13):
Right?
The one place where I will comeback and show generations, this
is the place.
Where your grandmotherconquered,
Liz (25:21):
this is the entrance to Narnia.
Ahhhhh.
Jeremy (25:25):
Or maybe where she made a silly mistake and veered off
the road.
Liz (25:30):
Right?
Yeah.
But still like this hidden oasisnobody knew about, she found she
is the chosen one.
Jeremy (25:35):
She is the chosen one!
Liz (25:37):
Her, she
Jeremy (25:39):
does that make me something special since I am her
son?
Liz (25:41):
Yes.
Son of clam chowder woman.
You been called and summoned tothe Oasis, come on this
adventure with me Aslan.
Jeremy (25:54):
Stop
Liz (25:55):
So I'm really building this up.
My expectation.
Now, is that when you find thisOasis, there's like Aslan is
going to be there with Tumbnessand they're like, come join us,
Jeremy.
Jeremy (26:03):
Right.
It'll be like a never endingparty where nobody ages.
So I literally turned the cararound.
I'm not doing this.
I can't do this.
And this happened, there was noturn off spot.
I Jack knifed, did at five pointturn.
And my mom's like, what are youdoing?
I'm like, mom, I can not leavethis place until I find out
where this happened cause I waslike this, it was beyond here.
(26:24):
Right.
And she's like, yeah, it was waysooner.
So I get in the car.
I backtrack, I head back to thehotel on the highway and not
five miles away from herdestination, less than five
miles.
It might even be like one mile.
I remember thinking like, mom,you were there when this
happened, like you were whereyou were supposed to be.
Liz (26:42):
So she drove five and a half hours.
From the city to nowhere andthen decided to like, Oasis,
well maybe the oasis popped upright there.
Jeremy (26:50):
So the reason why you missed it is because if you
looked straight, the Oasis wasdown eye level.
It literally was 20 feet down.
It was a ditch.
Liz (26:58):
Oh my gosh.
It was that's why no one couldsee the oasis.
Jeremy (27:02):
That's why no one could see it.
So there was this S curve of theroad, right?
A small one.
And she, her back right wheelcaught the edge of the pavement.
And there was a three inch dip,cause this is like desert area.
And then she tried to compensateby steering the wheel left and
then the road jerked to theright, for the S And then back
over.
And she popped over the middleof the S and the curve and went.
(27:25):
Face down into that 20 footditch.
Liz (27:29):
I'm glad there was a ditch.
Jeremy (27:31):
There was all of this lush greenery and I kid you not
this ditch and this area, maybe30 feet wide and maybe 20 or
twenty-five feet deep.
I went over and I walked overbecause we found it.
She's like, this is, this iswhere it happened.
And I'm like, you can rememberthat.
You can't even remember my name,mom
Liz (27:50):
Remember this?
My first born child, the ditch.
My favorite son.
Jeremy (27:55):
Where's my chowder.
And so I literally get out ofthe car I'm like get out of the
car.
We're going to go see this.
We walk over there and I, Istared down into this huge ditch
and there is a car shaped holethat is, I'm not kidding you.
I cannot make this up.
There's a car shaped hole wherethe trees and the overgrowth had
slowed her down.
Cause this is a 50 mile an hourhighway.
Liz (28:15):
She was my aunt by the Oasis
Jeremy (28:18):
The tree branches and the foliage of the Oasis caught
her
Liz (28:22):
Mr.
Tumness Caught your mom.
Let's call your mom, call yourmom Nancy, Nancy.
They're like, come to us, Nancy.
We have you
Jeremy (28:31):
wait here.
You're going to be okay.
And I actually stepped into the,I went about maybe five feet
down the ditch, but it was superSteep and.
Lo and behold, there's awaterfall in the back of it
because
Liz (28:45):
literally green and waterfall.
Jeremy (28:48):
And there's a waterfall.
And there's a whole pile ofwater on the bottom because it's
a drain out ditch.
It's an actual irrigation drainout area.
That's under ground and it runsoff.
And so you wouldn't see it.
This is what's so crazy.
Like you wouldn't see it, butthat's where her car was.
And the tow truck had pulled herout.
And so you could kind of walkdown there and it was like a
river down there on the bottom.
(29:09):
So she had literally cascadedinto this river and hit right
below the drainage.
And it was pouring on her car.
That's what was happening.
Liz (29:18):
So she heard this waterfall on her car.
So she was like.
I'm in an oasis.
like there's green.
Yeah.
I just, I just, I just.
Jeremy (29:26):
The whole time i thought my mom was crazy and I was like,
I had to find out how crazy shereally is.
Or if this is real.
Liz (29:32):
And it was, she found herself in an oasis.
It's like, she was like, yeah,I'm coming Aslan.
And just like woooh! Crash.
Narnia!
Jeremy (29:41):
Take me now, take me now!
Liz (29:44):
Narnia!
Jeremy (29:46):
I'm ready.
Liz (29:46):
You're Mom's being crazy.
She doesn't know he's talkingabout like, Oh this is an actual
Oasis.
There's a waterfall.
There's greenery.
There's a river.
There's Mr.
Tummus.
It's the whole thing.
Wow.
I'm so glad you went back andyou like disregarded your mom's
health and when she and her needto eat and you went back and you
(30:07):
found this Oasis, So that I didnot expect it.
So then when you were able toreturn to tell your siblings of
this great journey,
Jeremy (30:16):
But, before I returned, we got clam chowder.
Mom gets clam chatter when shewants it and a root beer float.
And if they don't serve RootBeer floats, as long as they
serve root beer and ice cream.
Liz (30:31):
Shut up.
Jeremy (30:32):
You can make a root beer float.
Liz (30:32):
Did you make the float yourself?
Jeremy (30:35):
She'll do that.
where we all face palm, becausewe will try to talk her out of
this.
But nothing will get in the wayof Nancy and her root beer float
Liz (30:45):
and her root beer float.
It's not, it's no longer aboutthe root beer float.
It's about the principle of no,you have a root beer float.
Don't you lie to me.
Do you have the components?
Jeremy (30:53):
Do you have clams?
Do you have sauce?
You have clam chowder.
Liz (30:58):
I think, I think maybe clam chowder is different, but I
could see how that kind of wouldgo in the same.
So I just want this to be ajourney.
The story of this, being yourmom, searching for the perfect
cup of clam chowder, and shedrives five and a half hours in
a wrong direction, away from theocean.
And then finds this map.
(31:18):
That's like, there's an Oasishere that leads to the best cup
of clam chowder.
Jeremy (31:23):
To narnia where there's enough clam chowder for
everyone.
Liz (31:23):
Charge! Like one of those action clips of a car, where
it's flying through the air it'swheels.
It's wheels are flying off andthen it lands in the ditch
Jeremy (31:34):
Of clam chowder
Liz (31:35):
and then.
And then the prophecy foretoldtold that it would be the best
clam chowder and it was becauseshe didn't die.
She survived and the first clamchowder you have after almost
dying is the best clam chowder.
Wow.
So do you have like a tracker onyour mom now?
Jeremy (31:53):
Whole other story
Liz (31:54):
story for another time.
Oh my goodness.
I love it because if you had notgone there, You could have never
found that spot.
Cause you couldn't see over itover the road.
Jeremy (32:04):
No, no you were, if you blinked, you would have missed
it.
If you weren't staring right atit and stopped, I was even
looking for it and I couldn'tfind it.
That's how crazy it was.
Liz (32:13):
That's a, it's a great story to remind us when we think
our moms are talking nonsensethat sometimes there might be an
Oasis in the middle of thedesert with a waterfall.
Jeremy (32:21):
That they're crashed into
Liz (32:22):
That they're crashed into.
Wow.
All right.
Sorry, Nancy.
You were right.
Jeremy (32:28):
Okay.
That was a story for this week.
Do we do morals of the story?
So what's the moral this story?
Liz (32:32):
Oh, right.
The moral of the story is clamchowder.
Jeremy (32:36):
Some people will do anything for clam chowder so
don't get in their way.
Liz (32:39):
Yeah.
And also apparently Narnia has alot of clam chowder as we've
learned.
No.
Oh, I don't like clam chowderenough for that to make me feel.
Can we also have a secretChristmas Prince in Narnia as
well as clam chowder.
So I feel like I'd want to go tothere.
The clam chowder isn't doing itfor me So thank you for
(33:01):
listening to our podcast aboutawesome, embarrassing stories
about Jeremy's mom, Nancy.
and his brother And theiradventures in Narnia or towards
Narnia.
I appreciate you sharing thatstory with me.
I will never be able to look atNancy the same.
Now that I know that she knowsthe way to Narnia We hope you've
enjoyed listening as much as wehave enjoyed telling dumb
(33:23):
stories and, uh, remember to
Jeremy (33:26):
go make some stories,
Liz (33:27):
make some stories.
Jeremy (33:28):
And Thank you for listening.
Liz (33:30):
Thank you.
Bye bye.
Bye bye.
I'm so glad you went back andyou disregarded your mom's
health and when she and her needto eat and you went back and you
(33:50):
found this Oasis,
Jeremy (33:52):
I have never been more proud of any other moment in my
life in that one.
Liz (33:55):
That's amazing.
Cause I would be wondering whatwe would scholars you.
Yep.
I mean, you have two children,but it's fine.
Jeremy (34:03):
Don't let my kids hear that.I have never regretted that
moment my entire life.
Liz (34:08):
I am most proud of this and will always be no matter what
happens.
Sorry, kids,
Jeremy (34:14):
Love you,
Liz (34:18):
Meh.
He loves his children very much.
Hello.
The story you're about to hearis true and the names have been
changed if they're lucky.
(00:24):
Welcome to tell that one storyan anecdotal podcasts to
brighten your day.
I'm your cohost, Liz.
Jeremy (00:30):
And I'm Jeremy.
Liz (00:31):
Hey Jeremy.
Jeremy (00:32):
Hey Liz.
Liz (00:33):
So I've had some time to think about after our last
episode, we talked aboutsomething very important and
close to my heart, which is theChristmas Prince, film, genre
that is finally getting therespect it deserves.
And it is now in full bloom onNetflix and Amazon Prime.
Jeremy (00:50):
You had me there cause I almost thought you're going to
say that whole being in theemergency room, peeing on
yourself.
So I'm glad that.
I'm glad that this isn't.
Liz (01:00):
Yeah, no, it's not that it's better also.
You don't have to reference thelast episode in case someone
isn't able to listen to it,because now they're like have
some assumptions about me justfrom those words.
Jeremy (01:13):
And what kind of situations you find yourself in?
Liz (01:15):
Anyway.
Jeremy (01:17):
More on this Princess Secret Princess Story movie
genre.
Liz (01:20):
Yeah, I did some research.
I went to just kind of see howmany Christmas prince movies are
out there.
And I updated the list that Ihave for 2020.
So this is maybe a list of like2017 to 2020.
Jeremy (01:34):
Can I guess like, can, I guess how many there are, I
honestly like a dozen, therecannot be more than a dozen.
Liz (01:44):
Well, there are 20 in fact.
Jeremy (01:48):
Twenty?
Liz (01:50):
Twenty, two zero.
So more than a dozen, more thana Baker's dozen a prince's
dozen.
Jeremy (01:57):
Almost a double dozen.
Liz (01:58):
Almost a double dozen?
If I looked harder, I'm sure Icould make it two dozen.
Jeremy (02:03):
There are twenty.
Are all of these part of likeHallmark or are these.
Liz (02:07):
Wait.
Jeremy wait, listen, listen didyou hear that?
That was another ChristmasPrince movie being made.
Jeremy (02:15):
You could Literally start on the 5th of December and
watch one every day,
Liz (02:21):
Every day.
And then on Christmas day youcan unwrap the story.
Okay.
So I have, I've put these in I'mgoing to read through the titles
because they're delightful and Ihave a couple of notes on some
of these, but they'realphabetical.
Jeremy (02:36):
How do you have that many titles?
Liz (02:37):
Well, you'll see.
Cause it, they're not veryinnovative.
Some of these titles Hallmark isdoing their good thing.
They're like a Christmas moviemachine that pumps out 12, 15
Christmas movies a year, and afew of them happen to have
princes in them.
So we start with the ChristmasCarousel, which has a secret
(02:57):
Prince in it, but uh, not in thetitle seems fine.
Then we go to a Christmas inRoyal fashion.
She is working her way up in thefashion industry.
You see that Royal fashion?
Get it?
Yeah.
A Christmas Prince, A ChristmasPrince: The Royal Baby, a
Christmas Prince (03:12):
The Royal Wedding.
Now that's the series we hadtalked about how there were
three movies that then made anappearance in the other movie.
And so that's part of theChristmas Prince EU extended
universe.
Jeremy (03:22):
Wait, I need to say something about this.
So there's this whole secretPrince universe, right?
What'd you call it the EU?
Liz (03:30):
The extended universe.
Jeremy (03:32):
It's like S secret Prince SPEU.
It makes me want to vomit.
Liz (03:40):
No, it's the greatest it's like, yes.
I like a warm hug of spewing.
Jeremy (03:45):
Sorry for all those secret Prince fans out there
Liz (03:48):
you are one and you don't know what you're secretly.
So
Jeremy (03:51):
I'm secretly a Secret Prince fan?
Is that what you're saying?
Liz (03:54):
You don't know yet, but you're already in too deep to
get out.
The call is coming from insidethe house, and it's the secret
Prince for Christmas! Okay.
So I should say extendeduniverse is more of like when
there are novels that extend theuniverse from the film to Star
Wars nerd out
Jeremy (04:11):
Oh! I'm not doubting.
Liz (04:12):
The Marvel universe.
It's the
Jeremy (04:15):
MCU, yeah
Liz (04:16):
MCU cinematic universe.
So it's like the ChristmasPrince universe, cinematic
universe we'll work on that.
Yeah.
So those three titles, ChristmasPrince are part of the Netflix
Christmas Prince CinematicUniverse.
Then we have a Prince forChristmas.
A Princess for Christmas,
Jeremy (04:36):
Are those part of the same universe or are those not,
they're not cousins, cousinsthat just want to be secret
royalty.
Liz (04:42):
No, not that I know of.
But maybe it sounds like youmight have an idea.
Jeremy (04:46):
I think you and I could build this.
This could be a whole franchisethat we can create.
Yes.
It's like a whole family ofsecrets.
Right.
And it takes place in Russia.
There's one in Spain.
Liz (04:58):
All the way to the top!
Jeremy (04:59):
Genovia.
Right.
Isn't it?
Yeah.
Liz (05:01):
Well, that's that's the other thing is, I can break down
the themes and the tropes inthese films.
So one is like a bunch of madeup countries.
Jeremy (05:09):
Yes!
Liz (05:09):
Cause you don't want you, when you said Spain, I thought
you said space and I wassuddenly very interested in your
take on the Christmas Princefranchise, Prince for Christmas
and Princess for Christmas, ARoyal Christmas, a Royal New
Year's Eve.
Ah, see now is it Christmas, butit kind of is a Royal Winter, A
(05:32):
Winter Princess.
Now we're back to Christmas.
Christmas at the Palace,Christmas with a Prince.
Okay.
Jeremy (05:39):
Are these all secret princes or princesses?
Liz (05:42):
They're not secret.
So I have already confused youwith the word secret.
Jeremy (05:46):
I know, I thought this was all about hidden identities.
Liz (05:49):
No, no, no.
There's a few of those withinthis.
It's a sub genre within thegenre, the genre, we're talking
about it as A Christmas Princegenre
Jeremy (05:57):
And he could be known.
Yes, or she could be known too.
Liz (06:01):
Yeah, exactly.
Or a long lost relative isrelated to oh, it turns out
that, yeah.
Oh my gosh.
Okay.
Jeremy (06:09):
What greater gift is there than like finding somebody
who's dead rich and owns acountry?
I mean, doesn't everybody wantthat?
Liz (06:16):
Well that says a lot about you and your priorities.
Like I said, secretly obsessed?
Uh,
Jeremy (06:25):
Me?
No..
Liz (06:27):
Yeah.
Cause there's also a bunch ofprince or Secret Prince romance
films that aren't aroundChristmas.
So I didn't even count those.
These are only specificallyroyalty, Christmas.
20 films! Royalty at Christmas.
Okay.
So we have Christmas at thePalace, Christmas with a Prince.
Now this film super low budgetdelightful, but that brings me
(06:52):
to just his giant white belt andhis costume at the end of the
movie, because every ChristmasPrince film at the end, he asked
some sort of formal regalia thatit usually.
Jeremy (07:04):
Some ceremony.
Yes.
Liz (07:05):
Yeah, like he's got some metals and like some tassels and
a belt.
And this one, it looks likesomeone stole a belt from 1985
and it is bright white, and itis the most distracting thing to
me and I, other people haven'tnecessarily mentioned it.
So maybe it's just my own thing,but just enjoy that film for the
belt itself.
Jeremy (07:25):
It just occurred to me.
You have watched all thesemovies, haven't you?
Liz (07:28):
No, I have not.
I've watched mos...- some ofthem.
No I had
Jeremy (07:32):
How many out of the 20 have you watched?
Liz (07:34):
Okay.
I didn't do that math yet.
I will have to they all kind ofblur together, so I'm going to
have to look back at the covers.
I just have the name, but nowI'm determined to watch all of
them, just to have that meritbadge for the Girl Scouts sash
that I have.
Jeremy (07:49):
The Christmas Prince merit badge you can just show
everybody you've done it.
Liz (07:53):
She did it.
She's single at Christmas ladiesand gentlemen, she did it.
She watched all of themChristmas Prince movies.
Am I a princess yet?
Do I get my own crown if I watchthem all.
No you don't.
From what I can tell, Oh,speaking of Crown for Prince for
Crown for Christmas.
No, there's no"A" Crown forChristmas.
Jeremy (08:16):
Ooh,
Liz (08:17):
My crinsmus Prince my crinns...
I'm saying Christmas too much MyChristmas Prince.
Different from Christmas Princeor a Christmas Prince.
My Christmas Prince.
Jeremy (08:28):
This should just be a word jumble of Christmas, prince
royalty, crown, castle,princess, royal palace.
And then how many differentpermutations of those words can
we make?
There's our title!
Liz (08:40):
Once upon a Holiday, which is like now it's not just
Christmas.
It's holiday One Royal holiday,Royal Christmas Ball.
And then of course the PrincessSwitch and the Princess Switched
2 (08:51):
Switched Again.
Jeremy (08:54):
Wait, is that all 20?
Was that 20 of them?
Liz (08:56):
Yep.
Jeremy (08:56):
So how many of those exist with sequels versus
standalone?
Liz (09:01):
I think only Oh, I missed one.
The Christmas Prince, ChrisChristmas with a Prince has a
sequel it's like Becoming Royal.
I didn't know.
I don't know if that one'sactually at Christmas though.
So of these, I think three ofthem, the Christmas Prince
Trilogy.
(09:21):
And as part of that universe, wenow know the Princess Switch.
And then Crins Crinsmus,Christmas, Christmas with the
Prince, the guy with the belt,they have a sequel and I have
not watched it and I have notwatched.
Jeremy (09:37):
Because the belt is just too distracting.
You couldn't?
Liz (09:38):
Well, I want, I wanted to.
Here's the thing, Jeremy, everytime I try and buy it, they will
not let me, I go to Prime andthey're like not available in
your country.
And I'm like, I can see thepicture I'm clicking on it.
I'm trying to give you money.
Is it because I'm in the appthen I go to the website.
No, I mean, I don't put too muchwork into it, but I haven't yet
been able to find a way to watchthis film.
Jeremy (10:00):
The fact that you want to buy it is killing me and fact
that you tried to buy itmultiple times.
Liz (10:07):
They won't let me.
Jeremy (10:08):
Which one is this?
This is the Prince forChristmas, or what's the big
white belt one.
Liz (10:11):
Christmas with a Prince
Jeremy (10:13):
Christmas with a Prince.
Is that the Prince you want tobe with?
Liz (10:16):
Nope.
Not at all He, it looks likehe's probably like 50 trying to
play late twenties.
Jeremy (10:25):
Oh get out.
Liz (10:26):
He's super buff though.
Do I need to share my screen allof a sudden?
So he's super buff, just like Ijust plastered with my
wallpaper.
Yeah.
He's trying to play like latetwenties, thirties.
He dyed his hair.
He's super buff because I thinkhe like works out like that's
his other job, I guess.
But he has a delightful one ofthose, cause this is another,
(10:48):
I'm trying to work on myChristmas Prince drinking game.
And one of them is accentswitching.
So he, he at the beginning ofthe movie is trying to be like
European, British, but like inand out of that accent, like
five minutes and he's given upand then like, Oh right.
And he talks to his fathercharacter cause daddy issues is
(11:09):
also another
Jeremy (11:10):
thing in these movies.
Liz (11:11):
Yeah.
Yeah.
So it's like drink daddy issues.
And so like talks to dad who isan actor who's actually British.
Oh, right.
I'm supposed to be British.
Now I'm going to parrot, youraccent and have that accent now,
which I'm sure is great for thatactor.
Like, Oh, who am I talking tonow?
My American son or my Britishson?
Jeremy (11:29):
That's why he as his issues.
Liz (11:30):
So he goes in and out of his accent so much that I was
like, wait, what?
Wait.
So.
Oh my gosh.
Anyway, so I have to send you alink to that one.
That one's a, I believe onNetflix, Christmas with a Prince
there.
It's great.
She's a doctor.
Her brother went to school withthis Prince.
He broke his leg, so he has tostay somewhere.
(11:51):
So they decide to put him in thechildren's hospital ward that
she's in, because of course youdo that.
You put a prince the cancerward.
And they let him do this becausehe's donating money to the
hospital, which again is likebreaking so many rules.
I watched this with my my nursesister for her to be like, this
is not how medical works.
(12:13):
This is breaking so many.
This is illogical.
THat would not be allowed.
Jeremy (12:15):
Wait, is he, is he like a hard gruff guy too?
And then all of a sudden he'saround these kids and then he
softens up or no?
Like, is he a jerk?
Liz (12:21):
Maybe.
They try, he's kind of a jerk.
He's kind of full of himself andhis Instagram.
Jeremy (12:27):
hmmm.
Liz (12:29):
Jeremy.
Jeremy (12:29):
Why are you looking at me like that?
Liz (12:31):
This is an intervention,
Jeremy (12:32):
I am so.
ha ha ha.
Surprised.
This whole podcast was a ruise!
Liz (12:35):
This whole podcast was a ruise so I can talk to you about
your instagram.
Jeremy (12:38):
Two episodes in! Yes! Yeah.
Everybody pops up on the zoomcall, my mom, my brother.
Liz (12:46):
Everyone.
That was my experience when Igot laid off.
At some point, I'll have to tellyou that great story of where
I'm having a one-on-one and allof a sudden, a bunch of people
jumped in.
And then I realized all threepeople who crashed our call from
HR.
And I'm like, Oh yeah, no.
I was like, what the fu oh,that, you know, that makes
sense.
Jeremy (13:08):
We need to start this.
We need to start this podcast.
Liz (13:10):
Oh, Oh yeah.
You're right.
Exactly.
Now, speaking of seamlesstransition, Jeremy, did you have
a story that you wanted to tellme about a time where you may
have felt or not felt like aChristmas prince?
Jeremy (13:25):
No, no, I did not.
But what I do have is a storyabout me and my mom and this
takes place about 10 years ago.
And it starts with this franticphone call that I get from my
brother.
And he's like, Hey, wake up andmind you it's around seven
o'clock in the morning.
Liz (13:43):
Oh, wow.
Jeremy (13:44):
Right.
Liz (13:45):
Like in the middle of the week, is it on the weekend?
Jeremy (13:47):
Yeah It's like a Wednesday.
You know, so, my family, reallyisn't Hey, let's just call and
chat.
call it 7:00 AM is a thing,
Liz (13:55):
Right.
Yeah.
Like usually you have toschedule a call a week in
advance, send two follow-upemails and the text reminder.
Jeremy (14:00):
Right!
Liz (14:00):
And then, right!
Jeremy (14:01):
Especially with this brother,
Liz (14:02):
what's your brother's name?
Jeremy (14:04):
I can't say that on this podcast.
Liz (14:06):
How about the human torch?
Jeremy (14:08):
Torch, we'll just call him Torch,
Liz (14:10):
Ok.
Let's call it.
Let's call him the human torch.
You can call him torch if youwant.
So your brother, the humantorch, who sometimes is on fire.
Oh, calls you at 7:00 AM.
Okay.
Jeremy (14:21):
Calls me 7:00 AM.
And he's like, Hey mom got in acrazy wreck and I don't think
she's okay.
She called me, she left me avoicemail and she's delirious
and she ran into some Oasis andit's crashed into a waterfall.
Liz (14:35):
Wait.
Yeah.
She ran into an Oasis.
Yeah.
Okay.
When I hear Oasis, I thinkdesert, like, was your mom on
vacation?
She's just like in the Seattlearea,
Jeremy (14:48):
Ok, this is what's messed up.
He got the call from theauthorities who had my mom in
the hospital in Omak.
For people who don't know thearea here, that is five hours
away from anything It isNowheresville so my brother got
a call at 7:00 AM and then herealized he looked at his
(15:08):
voicemail and he actually had acall from her at 5:30 AM.
And this is where yeah.
And this is where he gets theOasis and the waterfall thing.
Right?
So the authorities say,
Liz (15:18):
wait, sorry.
So he has a voicemail that saysI'm in an Oasis.
Jeremy (15:22):
My mom is delirious
Liz (15:24):
and ran into an Oasis.
Maybe she's the only one whocould see the world as it is.
She found the one Oasis in theWashington in the desert.
Jeremy (15:34):
Yeah.
So he plays back this voicemailfor me.
And she's been knocked out orwhatever.
Like it's real, it's real.
Liz (15:40):
We should start the story with saying she's okay.
She's alive, recovered
Jeremy (15:46):
My mom is the toughest woman you will ever meet.
And she probably should havedied there as well as a couple
other times.
And she had a full recovery andhad nothing wrong with her.
Yeah.
Liz (15:55):
You heard it here, ladies and gentlemen, Jeremy said, his
mom should've died.
Jeremy (16:00):
Don't say that! She probably would've said that too,
Liz (16:03):
okay.
Jeremy (16:03):
this story isn't about my mom being alive.
This story is about the mysteryof what the heck happened.
Liz (16:09):
Solving the mystery of the mom.
Jeremy (16:12):
Yeah,
Liz (16:13):
that's good.
Jeremy (16:14):
She's like I ran into this Oasis and I hit this
waterfall and I need help.
I don't know where I am, and mybrother's like, what the heck?
You know, when he's listening, Ican go.
So he's telling me, you need toget in the car and you need to
go get her.
Cause.
Liz (16:25):

Jeremy (16:36):
I know I'm all like cruising in a minivan,

I'm going to save the day,
Jeremy (16:40):

You know, we're going to just dothis.
So I get in it.
What I don't do is look at thegas at all.
Liz (16:47):
Oh no.
If only there was a gas Oasis,right?
Like you are now looking forgas.

I don't want to derail you, butI do have questions about the
voicemail.
Jeremy (16:59):

Jeremy (18:17):
Yeah.
And then her phone died.
Liz (18:19):

I'm really glad that I know thatyour mom's still alive or
otherwise the story would behorrifying.
Jeremy (18:24):

Liz (18:24):
Okay.
So then you have hopped in thecar, sorry.
I'm totally derailingeverything.
Jeremy (18:28):
I get in the minivan .It's not a car, It's a minivan.
Liz (18:31):
I'm sorry, your van.
That's not a full van, but it ismini and then you forgot about
the gas.
Jeremy (18:37):
Yeah, I'm climbing.
So on the way to Omak for peoplewho may not know where this.
Lives at the topography of ourarea, you have to go through a
mountain range to get there.
Right.
And So I'm climbing Snoqualmie,up to Snoqualmie pass to go over
the mountain, which is only, 90minutes or, an hour and 90
minutes into the drive andthat's when I realize I'm
running out of gas and it's notI'm right at E I'm, under E
Liz (19:01):
No, you're so bad at this because you know what takes the
most gas is.
Trying to go up a Hill in themountain range when you're a
minivan.
Jeremy (19:11):
Thank you.
Thank you for telling me thatnow.
But I was so adrenaline, rushed.
I was like, I'm gonna, I need tosolve this.
What the heck's going on?
is my mom okay?
How did she end up like in awaterfall and there's no
waterfalls over there and she's
Liz (19:23):
Right.
And there was a mystery to besolved.
Jeremy (19:25):
There was a mystery.
Liz (19:26):
Action needs to happen.
You got up, you ripped yourshirt, open,
Jeremy (19:29):
I did
Liz (19:29):
and like had a Superman shirt under it, and then went to
the minivan and forgot to gas,okay.
Jeremy (19:36):
So I get to the top of the mountain I'm freaking out,
but I'm like, Oh, there'stotally a gas station up there.
Liz (19:43):
Yes from the oil tanker that okay.
Jeremy (19:45):
There is No gas station up there.
So I'm crapping my pants becauseI think I'm going to get stuck
and I don't have any cell phonereception back then there wasn't
as much cell phone coverage aswe have now.
So I'm staring at my cell phonethinking, Oh my gosh, I can't
even make a phone call.
I'm staring at my gas.
You know, I've got none.
And I was praying.
(20:05):
I was like, Oh my gosh, God,I've got to make it at the
bottom of this Hill to a gasstation.
Liz (20:09):
Oh, my god! so were you just in neutral just hoping not
to die?
Jeremy (20:13):
I coasted in neutral down that whole mountain and I
barely rolled into the first gasstation.
The moment I got to the top ofthat mountain.
I turned it in to neutral and Ijust coasted.
It was like the grace of God.
I made it to that gas station.
Liz (20:29):
The Oasis that was the gas station that saved you.
Jeremy (20:32):
That was my oasis! take that!
Liz (20:36):
The waterfall was the gasoline.
Jeremy (20:38):
Just pouring into my van.
Liz (20:41):
Okay.
Jeremy (20:43):
So I get, I get full of gas.
Liz (20:45):
So this, this must be what it was like on the Oregon trail.
I'm sure.
They're like, ah, I'm gonna runout of gas and I've got
dysentery.
Just coast, right in.
Woo.
Jeremy (20:56):
I always died of dysentery.
I Hated that.
I hate that game.
I always hated that game.
So I get back in.
I've got enough gas.
I'm going to make this.
We're going to get there beforesundown.
I'm going to find out what'sgoing on, but going through that
whole Eastern Washington area.
There's nothing out there,nothing.
And there was nothing green.
It's farmland and stuff, butthere was no farm going on.
(21:19):
I don't know what season it was,but it was all dead.
Liz (21:21):
So it was like the reverse of when Dorothy comes to the
wizard of a land of Oz andeverything turns in color, it
was like you walked through andit was all the color was that
yeah.
Jeremy (21:30):
Death Valley.
Absolute death Valley.
Liz (21:33):
Oh man.
Jeremy (21:34):
And what I never keyed in on, is this is the other
thing about my mom.
This is why she is tough asnails.
She called my brother and left avoicemail at 5:30 AM.
She got in a wreck and she lefther house, which is over here,
five hours away to get to thatjob in the morning.
She left Seattle betweenmidnight and 2:00 AM in the
(21:58):
morning for that drive.
That is my mom for a job.
Liz (22:04):
There's I have some notes.
Isn't there a commute like that?
Jeremy (22:10):
Yeah.
Liz (22:11):
Oh, wow.
Jeremy (22:12):
Because She was subbing, like she's a sub and she does
occupational therapy So, youknow, that's where I was like,
what the heck is she doing?
In Omak at 5:30 AM, five hoursaway from home.
She should be in bed.
Right.
Or watching stories or somethinglike she should not be getting
up.
Okay.
Liz (22:29):
That's True.
But I just, when you say it likethat, it reminds me of one of
those books where they're like,we have found an artifact of a
submarine from world war II thathas appeared in a field in
Wisconsin.
It's like, what is it that evengets there?
What's the historical.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Jeremy (22:46):
How did my mom get in and Oasis at 5:30 AM in the
morning,
Liz (22:50):
Five hours away from anything.
Jeremy (22:52):
Five hours away from anything.
So I've gotten my total SherlockHolmes hat on the whole ride I'm
going to find out this mysteryand everybody at home knows i'm
doing this mystery.
Liz (23:00):
You should have remembered to put that on before you forgot
your gas.
Jeremy (23:05):
Then I would have remembered
Liz (23:06):
you would have been like, Oh, the clues say, perhaps I
should get gas.
So now that you've gotten gas,you're like, Oh my hat, put it
on.
Ha ha
Jeremy (23:15):
Do you want to know the end or not?
Liz (23:18):
I do.
I do.
Okay.
Kind of.
Yes.
Jeremy (23:21):
I'm trying to figure out what's going on.
I can't piece it togetherbecause there's nowhere in this
whole place where there's anygreen.
There is no green.
So if there's no green, therecould not be any water and
there's no rivers or anything.
I'm like, screw this.
I'm going to get my mom gonnamake sure she's okay.
I go to the hospital, I pick herup.
She's totally bruised up andeverything.
I mean the poor thing, but she'swicked strong.
(23:42):
Right.
And so she's just, I can dothis.
I'll be fine.
I'm gonna walk, I'm gonna walkto the car, you know?
Liz (23:46):
Did she seem like She was more aware than in the previous
voicemail.
Okay.
So she was now it's to the pointwhere she was annoyed and
probably embarrassed and beinglike, whatever, like if that's
what my parents would have beenlike.
Jeremy (23:56):
Yeah.
She was back in her normalmental state.
She might've been fatigued andtired, but that was more just
like physical.
So she was like, let's go, I'mhungry.
Let's get some clam chowder.
Liz (24:04):
I was like, what do you do after you leave in Oasis?
What are you hungry for?
Jeremy (24:08):
That's my mom.
She wants seafood.
Liz (24:10):
She wanted clam chowder?
Is that actually what she no Ithought you were just making it
up like, literally, she waslike, I survived a car accident
in an Oasis and i want clamchowder.
Jeremy (24:20):
And crab cakes.
And I'm like, mom, we're inEastern Washington.
There's no water around here.
We probably should not eat crabcakes around here.
This is Not the place to getfresh.
Alaskan.
Yes, we don't get Alaskan,salmon here that's just not
going to happen.
Liz (24:35):
Yeah, fresh Dungeness crab
Jeremy (24:36):
Or, or lobster.
I want lobster.
You know, she loves lobster.
Ok.
Liz (24:40):
I love lobster, I love lamp.
Sorry.
So continue after you.
So now you've got you have yournext mission is a clam chowder
mission.
Jeremy (24:51):
Get her fed.
And so we get in the car and wehead back and I realized like 45
minutes away from the hospital,I'm like, no way, I'm not
leaving this place until I findout what's going on this is
going to kill me for the rest ofmy life.
If i do not find this spot.
Liz (25:04):
Where is this Oasis?
This waterfall.
I mean, At the very least youneed to see the green swimming,
the waterfall to learn of theday that their grandmother
survived.
Jeremy (25:13):
Right?
The one place where I will comeback and show generations, this
is the place.
Where your grandmotherconquered,
Liz (25:21):
this is the entrance to Narnia.
Ahhhhh.
Jeremy (25:25):
Or maybe where she made a silly mistake and veered off
the road.
Liz (25:30):
Right?
Yeah.
But still like this hidden oasisnobody knew about, she found she
is the chosen one.
Jeremy (25:35):
She is the chosen one!
Liz (25:37):
Her, she
Jeremy (25:39):
does that make me something special since I am her
son?
Liz (25:41):
Yes.
Son of clam chowder woman.
You been called and summoned tothe Oasis, come on this
adventure with me Aslan.
Jeremy (25:54):
Stop
Liz (25:55):
So I'm really building this up.
My expectation.
Now, is that when you find thisOasis, there's like Aslan is
going to be there with Tumbnessand they're like, come join us,
Jeremy.
Jeremy (26:03):
Right.
It'll be like a never endingparty where nobody ages.
So I literally turned the cararound.
I'm not doing this.
I can't do this.
And this happened, there was noturn off spot.
I Jack knifed, did at five pointturn.
And my mom's like, what are youdoing?
I'm like, mom, I can not leavethis place until I find out
where this happened cause I waslike this, it was beyond here.
(26:24):
Right.
And she's like, yeah, it was waysooner.
So I get in the car.
I backtrack, I head back to thehotel on the highway and not
five miles away from herdestination, less than five
miles.
It might even be like one mile.
I remember thinking like, mom,you were there when this
happened, like you were whereyou were supposed to be.
Liz (26:42):
So she drove five and a half hours.
From the city to nowhere andthen decided to like, Oasis,
well maybe the oasis popped upright there.
Jeremy (26:50):
So the reason why you missed it is because if you
looked straight, the Oasis wasdown eye level.
It literally was 20 feet down.
It was a ditch.
Liz (26:58):
Oh my gosh.
It was that's why no one couldsee the oasis.
Jeremy (27:02):
That's why no one could see it.
So there was this S curve of theroad, right?
A small one.
And she, her back right wheelcaught the edge of the pavement.
And there was a three inch dip,cause this is like desert area.
And then she tried to compensateby steering the wheel left and
then the road jerked to theright, for the S And then back
over.
And she popped over the middleof the S and the curve and went.
(27:25):
Face down into that 20 footditch.
Liz (27:29):
I'm glad there was a ditch.
Jeremy (27:31):
There was all of this lush greenery and I kid you not
this ditch and this area, maybe30 feet wide and maybe 20 or
twenty-five feet deep.
I went over and I walked overbecause we found it.
She's like, this is, this iswhere it happened.
And I'm like, you can rememberthat.
You can't even remember my name,mom
Liz (27:50):
Remember this?
My first born child, the ditch.
My favorite son.
Jeremy (27:55):
Where's my chowder.
And so I literally get out ofthe car I'm like get out of the
car.
We're going to go see this.
We walk over there and I, Istared down into this huge ditch
and there is a car shaped holethat is, I'm not kidding you.
I cannot make this up.
There's a car shaped hole wherethe trees and the overgrowth had
slowed her down.
Cause this is a 50 mile an hourhighway.
Liz (28:15):
She was my aunt by the Oasis
Jeremy (28:18):
The tree branches and the foliage of the Oasis caught
her
Liz (28:22):
Mr.
Tumness Caught your mom.
Let's call your mom, call yourmom Nancy, Nancy.
They're like, come to us, Nancy.
We have you
Jeremy (28:31):
wait here.
You're going to be okay.
And I actually stepped into the,I went about maybe five feet
down the ditch, but it was superSteep and.
Lo and behold, there's awaterfall in the back of it
because
Liz (28:45):
literally green and waterfall.
Jeremy (28:48):
And there's a waterfall.
And there's a whole pile ofwater on the bottom because it's
a drain out ditch.
It's an actual irrigation drainout area.
That's under ground and it runsoff.
And so you wouldn't see it.
This is what's so crazy.
Like you wouldn't see it, butthat's where her car was.
And the tow truck had pulled herout.
And so you could kind of walkdown there and it was like a
river down there on the bottom.
(29:09):
So she had literally cascadedinto this river and hit right
below the drainage.
And it was pouring on her car.
That's what was happening.
Liz (29:18):
So she heard this waterfall on her car.
So she was like.
I'm in an oasis.
like there's green.
Yeah.
I just, I just, I just.
Jeremy (29:26):
The whole time i thought my mom was crazy and I was like,
I had to find out how crazy shereally is.
Or if this is real.
Liz (29:32):
And it was, she found herself in an oasis.
It's like, she was like, yeah,I'm coming Aslan.
And just like woooh! Crash.
Narnia!
Jeremy (29:41):
Take me now, take me now!
Liz (29:44):
Narnia!
Jeremy (29:46):
I'm ready.
Liz (29:46):
You're Mom's being crazy.
She doesn't know he's talkingabout like, Oh this is an actual
Oasis.
There's a waterfall.
There's greenery.
There's a river.
There's Mr.
Tummus.
It's the whole thing.
Wow.
I'm so glad you went back andyou like disregarded your mom's
health and when she and her needto eat and you went back and you
(30:07):
found this Oasis, So that I didnot expect it.
So then when you were able toreturn to tell your siblings of
this great journey,
Jeremy (30:16):
But, before I returned, we got clam chowder.
Mom gets clam chatter when shewants it and a root beer float.
And if they don't serve RootBeer floats, as long as they
serve root beer and ice cream.
Liz (30:31):
Shut up.
Jeremy (30:32):
You can make a root beer float.
Liz (30:32):
Did you make the float yourself?
Jeremy (30:35):
She'll do that.
where we all face palm, becausewe will try to talk her out of
this.
But nothing will get in the wayof Nancy and her root beer float
Liz (30:45):
and her root beer float.
It's not, it's no longer aboutthe root beer float.
It's about the principle of no,you have a root beer float.
Don't you lie to me.
Do you have the components?
Jeremy (30:53):
Do you have clams?
Do you have sauce?
You have clam chowder.
Liz (30:58):
I think, I think maybe clam chowder is different, but I
could see how that kind of wouldgo in the same.
So I just want this to be ajourney.
The story of this, being yourmom, searching for the perfect
cup of clam chowder, and shedrives five and a half hours in
a wrong direction, away from theocean.
And then finds this map.
(31:18):
That's like, there's an Oasishere that leads to the best cup
of clam chowder.
Jeremy (31:23):
To narnia where there's enough clam chowder for
everyone.
Liz (31:23):
Charge! Like one of those action clips of a car, where
it's flying through the air it'swheels.
It's wheels are flying off andthen it lands in the ditch
Jeremy (31:34):
Of clam chowder
Liz (31:35):
and then.
And then the prophecy foretoldtold that it would be the best
clam chowder and it was becauseshe didn't die.
She survived and the first clamchowder you have after almost
dying is the best clam chowder.
Wow.
So do you have like a tracker onyour mom now?
Jeremy (31:53):
Whole other story
Liz (31:54):
story for another time.
Oh my goodness.
I love it because if you had notgone there, You could have never
found that spot.
Cause you couldn't see over itover the road.
Jeremy (32:04):
No, no you were, if you blinked, you would have missed
it.
If you weren't staring right atit and stopped, I was even
looking for it and I couldn'tfind it.
That's how crazy it was.
Liz (32:13):
That's a, it's a great story to remind us when we think
our moms are talking nonsensethat sometimes there might be an
Oasis in the middle of thedesert with a waterfall.
Jeremy (32:21):
That they're crashed into
Liz (32:22):
That they're crashed into.
Wow.
All right.
Sorry, Nancy.
You were right.
Jeremy (32:28):
Okay.
That was a story for this week.
Do we do morals of the story?
So what's the moral this story?
Liz (32:32):
Oh, right.
The moral of the story is clamchowder.
Jeremy (32:36):
Some people will do anything for clam chowder so
don't get in their way.
Liz (32:39):
Yeah.
And also apparently Narnia has alot of clam chowder as we've
learned.
No.
Oh, I don't like clam chowderenough for that to make me feel.
Can we also have a secretChristmas Prince in Narnia as
well as clam chowder.
