[3:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: You know, and if Santa Claus is a metaphor for God, or at least a, you know, kind of a placeholder for the faith conversation, then you know what maybe I do believe, okay, I like this and that's the voice of Jonathan Braylock or I like, you know, you know, I wasn't the biggest Santa, but I love Christmas.

[4:24] \[SPEAKER_00\]: If you're like, what is that?
[4:27] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I never heard of that.
[4:27] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Well, guess what?
[4:29] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's a movie on Disney Plus.
[4:32] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it stars, little real, how are you?
[4:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Wow, and it's still, I'm looking at the poster and it says little real, how are you?
[4:43] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Whoa, what do you mean?
[4:45] \[SPEAKER_00\]: No, I mean, he still goes by low well.
[4:47] \[SPEAKER_01\]: I mean, I think at this point, like, that's who you are, you know, and I guess so.
[4:53] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Chris ludicrous bridges, and it says, yeah, because like ludicrous never gonna, he's always gonna.
[4:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: But he still has his, he puts his name there, just wants people to know.
[5:01] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah.
[5:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Tiana Paris is also in this, Oscar Nunez from the office and the recent spin off the paper.
[5:09] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Oh yeah, he's in the library.
[5:11] \[SPEAKER_00\]: This was directed by Tim Story, who you all know, the Barbershop franchise, and ride along.
[5:16] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And ride along.
[5:18] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And look, even though this movie was a kind of a video on demand, it is Disney Plus.
[5:27] \[SPEAKER_00\]: So, you know, it's seen by many, many a kid.
[5:31] \[SPEAKER_00\]: I think.
[5:33] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Yeah, it has a 30% around tomatoes, but that's the critic score.
[5:36] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Audiences disagree.
[5:38] \[SPEAKER_00\]: They gave it a 63% which is 35, that's fresh.
[5:45] \[SPEAKER_00\]: And it's about a social worker who doesn't like Christmas.
[5:52] \[SPEAKER_00\]: He actually calls Christmas the chicken wing of holidays.
[5:57] \[SPEAKER_00\]: That's what it was first.
[5:58] \[SPEAKER_00\]: Don't people look like chicken wings?
[6:00] \[SPEAKER_00\]: First lines in the movie.
[6:02] \[SPEAKER_00\]: It's very confusing.
