00:00:00Good morning, Corning!
00:00:03I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your day.
00:00:06Let's take a look at the weather.
00:00:07We have a cold front from Lake Huron heading southeast over Buffalo,
00:00:10bringing Arctic temperatures and, more importantly,
00:00:13a chance for me to finally break out that parka I got on Black Friday.
00:00:17Until then, expect highs in the mid to low 40s.
00:00:20Well, thank you, Ted.
00:00:21So, any exciting plans for the holiday?
00:00:24I'm glad that you asked slash read that off the teleprompter, Ken.
00:00:27I'll be heading two hours north to my hometown of Lackawanna
00:00:30where my older sister is planning the Gingerbread Invitational.
00:00:34What's the Gingerbread Invitational, Ted?
00:00:36Thanks for asking, Ken.
00:00:38It is an event that gathers the best gingerbread bakers in the state
00:00:41to help raise money to build a new children's wing in the local hospital.
00:00:45So, all week I will be delivering heartfelt and shameless promos
00:00:48encouraging everyone in the area to come out and help support a great cause.
00:00:53Thank you, Ted.
00:00:55Now, let's get real for a minute.
00:00:58You have a legendary run of bad luck at Christmas over the years.
00:01:02Oh, I think legendary is overblown and we don't need to get into it, Ken.
00:01:06Well, didn't you almost burn your house down last year?
00:01:09Indeed I did, Ken. Grease fires are no joke.
00:01:11No, they are not.
00:01:12And the year before that, I believe you got attacked by a possum
00:01:16who was living in your Christmas tree.
00:01:18Yes, yes, indeed I was.
00:01:19But in all fairness, I was the one who chopped down his house, put it on the roof of my car, and drove it down the highway.
00:01:25So, who really got the worst end of that deal?
00:01:27And didn't you, the year before that, get a disease so rare that they actually named it after you?
00:01:35Yes, yes I did. Symptoms include undeniable charisma and effortless charm.
00:01:42All kidding aside, if you suspect you have Ted Cooper, I'd to seek immediate medical attention.
00:01:46Well, you know what, Ted? I'm not sure that I would share your enthusiasm for the holidays.
00:01:51Oh boy, you are such a grinch, Ken. What's not to love? Christmas is a time of coming together and celebrating,
00:01:57and it just brings out the best in everyone. And sure, I have had a few tricky, maybe problematic,
00:02:05potentially horrendous Christmases in a row, but that luck has to change eventually. So why not this year?
00:02:11Well, I wouldn't bet the farm on it, Ted.
00:02:14And speaking of farms, coming up, an unlikely friendship between a horse and a cat that you have to see to believe.
00:02:23And we're clear.
00:02:26Love the new hair, Ken. If I didn't know any better, I think it was your own.
00:02:29It is my own. Hey, Ted? Ted?
00:02:44Hey, thanks again for letting me promote the Invitational, Jerry.
00:02:55Whoa, I should be thanking you. Not a lot of people watching weather reports on TV when they get weather on their phone.
00:03:00Yeah, I like to think they care about hearing their weather from a trained professional.
00:03:03Oh, Teddy boy, they care about you.
00:03:05Yeah?
00:03:07Is that why you took a shot on me?
00:03:09You know what? It doesn't matter. The fact is, you did.
00:03:12When no one else would. And I appreciate you for it.
00:03:15Well, my intentions weren't as pure as they might seem.
00:03:17Oh?
00:03:18Viewers also like tuning in around Christmas to see what could go terribly wrong.
00:03:21Yeah, yeah.
00:03:22I still maintain that Santa Does the Weather would have been a great segment had that chimney been a little wider.
00:03:28Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
00:03:29Hey, did WDTP give you a call yet?
00:03:31Yeah. Actually, they called this morning.
00:03:33So, did you give them an answer?
00:03:34No.
00:03:35No?
00:03:36Oh, there's a lot to think about.
00:03:38I mean, they're the state's biggest network outside the city.
00:03:40I'm happy here. You guys are like family.
00:03:43Hey, whoa, what's going on here?
00:03:46Flip that back over.
00:03:48What is this?
00:03:50Everyone's taking bets on what's going to happen to you this Christmas.
00:03:53What?
00:03:58This is dark, guys.
00:03:59Come on. Impaled by a reindeer antler?
00:04:02What?
00:04:03Who took that bet?
00:04:05Janice?
00:04:06Ken gave me 500 to 1. I couldn't pass up those sweet, sweet odds.
00:04:10Also, guys, seriously, why is me kissing a beautiful woman less likely than getting impaled by a reindeer?
00:04:1751 people are rooting for me to choke on a chunk of fruitcake.
00:04:20Joke's on you clowns.
00:04:21I don't like fruitcake.
00:04:23Also, not funny to root for me going to jail.
00:04:25I would do horribly in jail.
00:04:26You know what?
00:04:27None of this matters anyways.
00:04:28Because this year?
00:04:30Ha-ha.
00:04:31This is the year that old Ted Cooper's Christmas bad luck finally turns around.
00:04:35Losing a lot of money, folks.
00:04:38You smell great.
00:04:39I know.
00:04:40You smell great.
00:04:41I know.
00:04:42You smell great.
00:04:43I know.
00:04:44Huh?
00:04:45I know.
00:04:48I know.
00:05:02That's how you get verses 1 in the middle of Madison.
00:05:13Are you ready?
00:05:14Are you ready?
00:05:15Hear you say it.
00:05:23Are you ready?
00:05:25Are you ready?
00:05:26Hear you say it.
00:05:28Baby, brother!
00:05:29Hey!
00:05:30Hi!
00:05:31Hi!
00:05:33I have been waiting for half an hour.
00:05:35Can we go?
00:05:36Absolutely.
00:05:37Where are we going?
00:05:37Going to sleep.
00:05:38Going home.
00:05:39Not in that order.
00:05:40What?
00:05:40Kate, no.
00:05:41That's boring.
00:05:42I just got in the town.
00:05:43Let's go have a drink.
00:05:43Ted.
00:05:44Kate.
00:05:46Kate.
00:05:47Fine.
00:05:48We can have one drink.
00:05:49A small one.
00:05:50Maybe a festive shot.
00:05:52Shots.
00:05:52I love where your head's at.
00:05:54Shot.
00:05:54So many shots.
00:05:55Singular.
00:06:04Where is my tag?
00:06:06There are fresh towels
00:06:07and a brand new toothbrush upstairs
00:06:09because I know you always forget
00:06:10everything.
00:06:12You know me so well.
00:06:13Your suitcase is on my table.
00:06:15Just give me a second.
00:06:17Something's not right.
00:06:21Yikes.
00:06:22I must have had the same kind of suitcase
00:06:24as that girl on the bus.
00:06:25Should I be worried about you
00:06:26covering the fundraiser
00:06:28with everything that happens to you
00:06:29every Christmas?
00:06:31What?
00:06:32No, this isn't a setback.
00:06:33This is an opportunity
00:06:34to try out some new looks.
00:06:38I mean, oof.
00:06:39Oh, come on.
00:06:42Sugar.
00:06:42What?
00:06:43These might actually fit.
00:06:44Wow.
00:06:45Good morning.
00:06:52Good morning.
00:06:53Hey.
00:06:55Wow.
00:06:55That is a very pink sweater.
00:06:57That girl had good taste, right?
00:06:59Mm-hmm.
00:07:00What do you do it up?
00:07:00I am making us breakfast.
00:07:02Since when do you make us breakfast?
00:07:04You made me breakfast
00:07:05my entire childhood.
00:07:06The literal least I can do
00:07:07is make you the occasional omelette.
00:07:09Aw.
00:07:11Uh, you're gonna go shopping today, right?
00:07:13Because your first promo is tonight
00:07:15and, um,
00:07:16I'm not sure that, uh,
00:07:17that's the vibe.
00:07:19I am not going anywhere
00:07:20until you try that omelette.
00:07:21Oh, okay.
00:07:26Mm.
00:07:27Uh-huh.
00:07:28Fluffy and delicious.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:30Secret ingredient is love.
00:07:33Hey, I couldn't help but notice
00:07:34the alarming lack
00:07:35of Christmas lights on the house.
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37I've been really busy.
00:07:38Really?
00:07:39That's strange.
00:07:40You haven't mentioned that
00:07:42in the last three minutes.
00:07:45You're wearing a pink crop sweater.
00:07:48Yeah.
00:07:51Stay.
00:07:58Good box.
00:07:59Nope.
00:08:00Stay.
00:08:02Stay.
00:08:03There you go.
00:08:07Hi, Ted.
00:08:08This is Max at WDTV.
00:08:11Check it in on our job offer.
00:08:12Give us a call and
00:08:13no rush.
00:08:15Merry Christmas.
00:08:15Unstoppable.
00:08:32Oh, no.
00:08:37How are you holding up?
00:08:39I'm fine.
00:08:39You're unconscious.
00:08:41It's called a catnap, Kate.
00:08:42I asked you what 2 plus 2 was
00:08:44and you said 22.
00:08:45And I've never been great at math.
00:08:46You have your master's
00:08:47in atmospheric sciences, Ted.
00:08:49Put the ice pack on.
00:08:54Ted?
00:08:57Ms. Mittens?
00:08:58What happened to you?
00:09:00A box of Christmas lights.
00:09:01You?
00:09:02Hot cookie sheet.
00:09:04Oof.
00:09:04Are you still teaching science?
00:09:06Hmm?
00:09:06Retired.
00:09:07Last year.
00:09:08Wow.
00:09:09Congratulations, Ms. Mittens.
00:09:10Oh, please.
00:09:11Call me Ruth.
00:09:12It's great to see you, Ruth.
00:09:13I'm back every Christmas.
00:09:14How have we never run into each other?
00:09:16Oh, I usually do the holidays in Florida,
00:09:18but not this year.
00:09:19Well, Florida's loss is my gain.
00:09:21I always knew you'd do well for yourself, Ted.
00:09:24And people send me your clips all the time.
00:09:26They do?
00:09:27Sure.
00:09:28Especially the one where you get stuck
00:09:29in the chimney at Christmas.
00:09:31Mm-hmm.
00:09:32Hilarious.
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:33Well, I am glad I could entertain you.
00:09:35It's good to see you, Ted.
00:09:36You too.
00:09:37Any chance you'd be interested
00:09:38in grabbing a coffee
00:09:39with your former favorite student
00:09:41sometime this week?
00:09:41Oh, why?
00:09:42Is she here?
00:09:45Still got it.
00:09:47Ms. Mittens?
00:09:48Amazing.
00:09:49Take care.
00:09:49Yeah.
00:09:50Ted, they're ready.
00:09:52Oh, great.
00:09:55Good luck.
00:09:55Here's your eyes back.
00:09:56Thanks.
00:10:01Okay, next time,
00:10:02let's just make sure
00:10:03that we check the expiration date
00:10:05on the eggnog.
00:10:07Merry Christmas.
00:10:13How many cups you had today?
00:10:15Mm, too many to count.
00:10:16Go home, Hope.
00:10:17You're understaffed.
00:10:18And you're pulling a 12-hour shift.
00:10:20I don't need a tired doctor.
00:10:22Oh, every doctor is tired.
00:10:23Come on.
00:10:24Look, I can pick up the slack.
00:10:26I once treated 90 patients here in a day.
00:10:28And you have never let us forget that.
00:10:31You know what I'm going to do
00:10:31when I get home?
00:10:32Hmm.
00:10:32A little bit of online Christmas shopping,
00:10:34glass of red wine,
00:10:36and the Chris Hemsworth movie.
00:10:38Hmm.
00:10:38Do you know what you're going to do
00:10:39when you get off work?
00:10:40Yeah, I'm going to pray
00:10:41that my best friend
00:10:42stops giving me lectures.
00:10:43No, you are definitely going to be
00:10:44trying to pick up more shifts here.
00:10:46Okay.
00:10:47Well, given the year that I've had,
00:10:50I want to stay busy.
00:10:51I get that.
00:10:51I get that.
00:10:52But you are no good to anybody
00:10:53if you burn out.
00:10:54So come over for a movie tonight.
00:10:56Which Chris Hemsworth movie is it?
00:10:58Doesn't matter.
00:11:00No.
00:11:00No, it does not.
00:11:01Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:03Guess who's here?
00:11:05Who?
00:11:06Ted Cooper.
00:11:07Coop?
00:11:09From high school?
00:11:10I think so.
00:11:11He had his insurance on file.
00:11:13Oh, I didn't know he lived around here.
00:11:14I don't think he does.
00:11:15I think he's back for Christmas.
00:11:16He's a weatherman over in Corning.
00:11:18Hmm.
00:11:19Well, good for him.
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:20He was always so sweet, you know,
00:11:22in like a nerdy kind of way.
00:11:24That might be because
00:11:25he had a crush on you.
00:11:27Okay, please.
00:11:28You may not have noticed,
00:11:31but he fell hard for you back in the day.
00:11:33And apparently something fell hard on his head.
00:11:35So have fun.
00:11:37Ah.
00:11:37You're welcome.
00:11:38Enjoy.
00:11:40Hey, Coop.
00:11:48Hope.
00:11:49Wow.
00:11:49Hi.
00:11:50I didn't know you were back in town.
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:52I moved back late last year.
00:11:55You look different.
00:11:56You look the same.
00:11:57Hmm.
00:11:58Well, what brings you in?
00:12:00Box of Christmas lights to the dome.
00:12:02Oh, anything broken?
00:12:04Probably not.
00:12:04I have a hard head.
00:12:05I meant the box of lights.
00:12:08Right.
00:12:10So I hear you're back in town
00:12:12for Christmas with your sister.
00:12:14You've been asking around about me, Hope?
00:12:17Sydney told me.
00:12:18Ah, Sydney.
00:12:19Yeah.
00:12:19You know she gave me stitches a few Christmases ago?
00:12:21She did.
00:12:22I had an unfortunate incident
00:12:23involving a porcelain nativity scene.
00:12:25Ooh.
00:12:26Let's just say now there are only
00:12:27two wise men in Bethlehem.
00:12:29Which one broke?
00:12:31Gold.
00:12:32Hmm.
00:12:32Poor baby Jesus.
00:12:34You know, stuck with frankincense and myrrh.
00:12:37I don't even know what myrrh is.
00:12:39No one does.
00:12:40I'm just gonna have a look here.
00:12:42Any headaches?
00:12:44Dizziness?
00:12:44Nope.
00:12:45No?
00:12:45Me?
00:12:46Look straight ahead.
00:12:48Hmm.
00:12:50I never knew you had blue eyes.
00:12:54Well, no lacerations.
00:12:58No concussion.
00:12:59I think you just had your bell rung.
00:13:00It feels appropriate to have my bell rung at Christmas.
00:13:05You know what else?
00:13:07You look good in pink.
00:13:09Hey, thanks.
00:13:10I got it from a college girl's suitcase.
00:13:12Hmm.
00:13:12Nope, that sounded bad.
00:13:13I brought a college girl's clothes home with me.
00:13:16That sounded worse.
00:13:18You know what?
00:13:18Let's just...
00:13:19Let's just chalk it up to the head injury.
00:13:22I had it on before the head injury.
00:13:24Oh, well, let's keep that between us.
00:13:26Little doctor, patient.
00:13:28Confidentiality.
00:13:30Probably a good idea.
00:13:31Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation while you're here, Coop.
00:13:34Thanks.
00:13:35But it's actually...
00:13:36It's not just a vacation.
00:13:37I'm here doing promos for the Gingerbread Invitational.
00:13:40It's the fundraiser for...
00:13:42Well, actually, this...
00:13:43I know.
00:13:44I work here.
00:13:46Right.
00:13:46Yeah, obviously.
00:13:47You know what that is.
00:13:48Oh.
00:13:55Do you give lollipops to all your patients?
00:13:57Mm, only the really brave ones.
00:14:00I was really brave, wasn't I?
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:05We'll see you around, Coop.
00:14:07Bye, Hope.
00:14:08Hope.
00:14:08I assume you heard all that?
00:14:14How dare you assume that I was eavesdropping on that unbelievably cute exchange?
00:14:21Come on.
00:14:27Kate.
00:14:28Kate.
00:14:29What'd the doctor say?
00:14:30Things are looking up, baby.
00:14:32Ask for Dr. Newberry.
00:14:33She's got lollipops.
00:14:34And why didn't you tell me Hope Newberry worked here?
00:14:47Because I didn't want to spend our phone calls listening to you gush about your high school crush.
00:14:51I didn't have a crush on her.
00:14:53She said you didn't have a concussion?
00:14:54She said it was fine.
00:14:55Maybe we need a second opinion.
00:14:57Mm.
00:14:58Ted!
00:15:00Is that Miss Mittens?
00:15:01Call her Ruth.
00:15:02No, I'm not gonna call her Ruth.
00:15:03She was our teacher.
00:15:04Hi, Miss Mittens.
00:15:06Hi.
00:15:06Okay, we gotta go.
00:15:07I gotta go to work.
00:15:08What if she needs my help?
00:15:09She doesn't need your help, Ted.
00:15:10Ted, I need your help.
00:15:13Fine.
00:15:14But please do not show up in this for the promo tonight.
00:15:17Okay, don't worry.
00:15:18I'll be there.
00:15:18I'm gonna look great.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:20Bye, Miss Mittens.
00:15:21Hey, Ruth.
00:15:22How's the hand?
00:15:23Well, I won't be juggling anytime soon.
00:15:26Well, that's a real shame.
00:15:27What can I do for you?
00:15:28I was supposed to get a tree and bring it home, but now with this...
00:15:31Say no more.
00:15:33I would be honored.
00:15:34You are a prince.
00:15:37Would you like me to drive?
00:15:39I'm hurt, Ted.
00:15:40I'm not blind.
00:15:42Duly noted.
00:15:42So you're looking for a bigger tree, you say?
00:15:50Well, I've collected a lot of ornaments in the past 72 years.
00:15:55How are you collecting ornaments two decades before you were born?
00:15:59That is disgustingly shameless flattery.
00:16:02And I so appreciate it.
00:16:04So, Hope Newberry, huh?
00:16:08Hope Newberry.
00:16:10Blast from the past.
00:16:11As I recall, you had quite the crush on her back in the day.
00:16:15Why does everyone keep saying that?
00:16:17We have eyes, ears.
00:16:19We barely even knew each other.
00:16:21Besides, she was way out of my league.
00:16:23Obviously.
00:16:25You didn't need to agree with me so quickly.
00:16:27We should ask her out while you're in town.
00:16:29Ms. Mittens, are you giving me dating advice?
00:16:32Oh, hello, big boy.
00:16:35Hmm.
00:16:35That's a good one.
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:38Do you think you could find someone who works here who could help us?
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:42Uh.
00:16:44What about him?
00:16:45Excuse me.
00:16:47Afternoon, ma'am.
00:16:48Uh, my mother is ma'am.
00:16:50You can call me Ruth.
00:16:51Actually, you can call me anytime you like.
00:16:54Easy, Mittens.
00:16:55Mm-hmm.
00:16:55Uh, my friend here would like this tree.
00:16:56Do you mind helping us cut it down?
00:16:58It'd be my pleasure.
00:17:00Maybe you could help us carry it, too.
00:17:04Any plans while you're in town?
00:17:07Uh, I'm doing promos for the gingerbread invitational,
00:17:09which you should come to.
00:17:11And my sister's having a Christmas costume party,
00:17:13which you should definitely come to.
00:17:15Ooh, costume party.
00:17:16Yeah, everyone's dressing up as their favorite Christmas characters.
00:17:18I'm in.
00:17:19Other than that, not much.
00:17:21Why?
00:17:22Well, I've got this walking group with a group of friends of mine.
00:17:25Oh, do you all wear matching tracksuits?
00:17:27Well, it wouldn't be a walking group without matching tracksuits.
00:17:30Do you want to join?
00:17:31Absolutely.
00:17:34Are we lost?
00:17:39What?
00:17:39I was following you.
00:17:41Oh.
00:17:42Where's that handsome lumberjack?
00:17:44Hello?
00:17:48Oh, you guys lost?
00:17:50Yeah, afraid so.
00:17:52Follow me.
00:17:52You know, there are easier ways of trying to hang out with me than injuring yourself.
00:18:03Are there?
00:18:04Well, now I feel silly.
00:18:06What'd you do?
00:18:07Christmas tree poked me in the eye.
00:18:09Every Christmas hope it's something.
00:18:11Or multiple somethings.
00:18:12A whole army of somethings.
00:18:14Mm-hmm.
00:18:15You must really hate Christmas.
00:18:16You kidding?
00:18:17I love Christmas.
00:18:19Oh.
00:18:20Maybe I was wrong about the concussion.
00:18:23Follow me.
00:18:29So how's it been being back home?
00:18:31Well, I never intended on coming back to Lackawanna, but I do love this hospital.
00:18:37And if we can raise enough money for the new children's wing, I'd love to be head of pediatrics one day.
00:18:43Oh.
00:18:44I'd be lucky to have you.
00:18:45Lightly scratched, but I'd like you to give it a rest, so let's wear an eye patch until tomorrow morning.
00:18:53That works.
00:18:54You can pick one up at the pharmacy.
00:18:55Oof.
00:18:56I gotta be on the air in less than an hour.
00:18:58Any chance you guys have one around here?
00:19:02Uh.
00:19:04So be sure to head on down to Lackawanna for the gingerbread invitational and help raise money for a great cause.
00:19:10Or shall I say, a great clause.
00:19:13We miss you here in Corning, Ted.
00:19:15You sure are a sight for sore eyes.
00:19:18Good one, Ken.
00:19:20I just noticed your little fashion accessory there.
00:19:24Very observant.
00:19:26Yes, I had my eye poked in a Christmas tree-related accident.
00:19:30Who here had eye poked in Christmas-related accident?
00:19:33Well, shiver me timbers, that's unfortunate, Ted.
00:19:39Sounds like your Christmas luck hasn't changed.
00:19:42Lazy pirate humor, Ken.
00:19:43And it's still plenty of time for this to be the best Christmas ever.
00:19:46In fact, it very well could be if everyone joins me at the gingerbread invitational.
00:19:50Hope to see you all there.
00:19:51Well, as much as you can, anyways.
00:19:54Right.
00:19:55So, when making your holiday plans, please don't turn a blind eye to the Lackawanna gingerbread invitational.
00:20:02And we're clear?
00:20:04All right.
00:20:06Thanks.
00:20:06So, I kind of feel like the eyepatch really helped elevate the holiday vibes.
00:20:12I love you.
00:20:13I love you.
00:20:14You're my brother.
00:20:14I love you.
00:20:15I love you.
00:20:16I love you.
00:20:17You can only get better.
00:20:26Morning.
00:20:26Morning.
00:20:27Oh, I never pegged you for a cap, a girl.
00:20:31Real funny.
00:20:31Have you seen the latest headlines, matey?
00:20:35That's good wordplay.
00:20:37What?
00:20:38I didn't have a choice, Kate.
00:20:39The doctor said I had to wear the eyepatch till this morning.
00:20:41Which doctor?
00:20:44Dr. Newberry.
00:20:45Oh.
00:20:47You saw Hope again, huh?
00:20:48That's very interesting.
00:20:49Can I borrow your car?
00:20:50Because I'd love to go get some clothes so I don't have to spend the entire holiday dressed for a sorority rush.
00:20:54Yes, you may.
00:20:58Thanks.
00:20:58Bye.
00:20:59Bye.
00:21:00Get a costume for my party.
00:21:10Ted.
00:21:11Ladies, this is Ted Cooper, a student of mine and a famous weatherman.
00:21:16What are you ladies up to?
00:21:18Is there a modeling convention in town?
00:21:20This is a walking group that I told you about.
00:21:23Care to join us?
00:21:24Oh, I would love to, but I got a rain check.
00:21:26I lost my suitcase, so I have to get some new clothes.
00:21:29All by yourself?
00:21:30Oh, not on our watch.
00:21:32Ladies, put your step counters to pause.
00:21:35We are going shopping.
00:21:37Oh.
00:21:38Okay.
00:21:41Oh, thanks.
00:21:43Ooh.
00:21:44It's nice.
00:21:45Ooh.
00:21:46I'm there.
00:21:47Fancy?
00:21:47Sure.
00:21:49Casual handsome.
00:21:50Ooh.
00:21:51Nice.
00:21:52It's okay.
00:21:53I like this casual dressed up.
00:21:56Oh, okay.
00:21:58Yes.
00:21:58And one more.
00:22:00Why not?
00:22:01Yes.
00:22:03Okay.
00:22:04So I hear that an actor's coming by the station that day, but I don't know who.
00:22:09A little while later, I get a little tap on the shoulder, and this voice says to me, almost
00:22:13whispers in my ear, excuse me, are you Ted Cooper?
00:22:18Who could it be?
00:22:20And who do I see standing before me?
00:22:22But the mountain of a man.
00:22:24That is Mark Harmon.
00:22:26Oh, my God.
00:22:28He smelled incredible.
00:22:31Hope.
00:22:31Hey.
00:22:32Hi.
00:22:33Hi, Hope.
00:22:33This is the Lackawanna walking crew.
00:22:35Crew, this is Hope Newberry, Dr. Extraordinaire.
00:22:38Oh, I don't know about that, but this is the one I was telling you about.
00:22:42Hi.
00:22:42Nice to meet you.
00:22:43Are you just getting off work?
00:22:45I am.
00:22:46Yeah, just used my last brain cell, was going to get a coffee, and then bury my face in a
00:22:51plate of carbs, hopefully.
00:22:53I did hear there's a burger deal down the road at the Fox and Hounds pub.
00:22:59Two for one, with all-you-can-eat fries.
00:23:02Oh, well, you had me on all-you-can-eat.
00:23:07You going to eat both those burgers yourself?
00:23:11Well, I could, but I shouldn't.
00:23:15I'm not saying you couldn't.
00:23:17I was just thinking that chivalry dictates that I should probably help you out with those.
00:23:21Right.
00:23:22Let's do it.
00:23:23Ladies, it's been a delight.
00:23:28I will see you soon.
00:23:31You got that?
00:23:31Yeah, I think I do.
00:23:32Can we pop by my car so I can drop all this off?
00:23:34Yeah, you might need that.
00:23:38Got all your stuff?
00:23:40Wow, Judgey McJudger stuff.
00:23:42No, judgment, no.
00:23:43No, but I was wondering if your fan club always dressed like retired breakdancers.
00:23:48That's great.
00:23:50I got a text on that.
00:23:51Oh, you have their numbers.
00:23:53They added me to the group chat.
00:23:57After you.
00:23:59Hey, Ted Goofers.
00:24:05What's up, everybody?
00:24:07Do you want to grab us a table and I'll get us some burgers?
00:24:10I can do that, yeah.
00:24:11Okay, great.
00:24:12What would you like to drink?
00:24:13Um, Christmas ale?
00:24:16Christmas ale.
00:24:17I like it.
00:24:19Hey, can I get two Christmas ales, please?
00:24:20What I can't believe is that every single person here knew your name.
00:24:43You're like, you're like that guy.
00:24:45You did the Norm from Cheers.
00:24:47That's who you are.
00:24:48Oh, my gosh.
00:24:49Wow.
00:24:50Well, I grew up here.
00:24:52Well, so did I.
00:24:53Yeah, but you moved away.
00:24:55So did you, and I live here now.
00:24:58You're right.
00:24:59Kind of sounds like a you issue.
00:25:01Does it?
00:25:02No, I'm kidding.
00:25:02I come here all the time whenever I'm back in town, so.
00:25:06Have you ever thought about moving back?
00:25:08Funnily enough, I just got a job offer in Buffalo.
00:25:12Hmm.
00:25:13Doing the weather?
00:25:13Mm-hmm.
00:25:14Well, that sounds like the universe aligning for you.
00:25:18Yeah.
00:25:19I don't know.
00:25:20Why, what, why not?
00:25:22My producer in Corning, this guy Jerry, he gave me an opportunity right out of grad school
00:25:27when literally no one else would.
00:25:29So I kind of feel like I owe my career to him, and Corning itself has been great to me,
00:25:35so.
00:25:35But is Corning home?
00:25:39No, it is not.
00:25:39I bet you if you asked every single person in this bar, they'd tell you to take the job
00:25:45in Buffalo.
00:25:46Buffalo.
00:25:47As would I.
00:25:48You would?
00:25:49You might find this hard to understand, given you know every single person on a first-name
00:25:54basis within a five-mile radius.
00:25:55Oh, thank you very much, but I haven't had a lot of time to do much socializing.
00:26:01So, be nice to see a friendly face.
00:26:03Wow, Ruth was right, these burgers do look amazing.
00:26:09Ooh.
00:26:10What?
00:26:11What's wrong?
00:26:12Oh, nothing.
00:26:13It's not a big deal.
00:26:14I had just asked for no mayo, and there's mayo.
00:26:16Hmm.
00:26:17Well, I'm sure they can fix it for you.
00:26:18No, no, no.
00:26:19It's fine.
00:26:20The server is the owner's kid.
00:26:21I don't want to get her in trouble.
00:26:22It's all good.
00:26:23Coop, you've been raving about these burgers.
00:26:25Everybody here loves you.
00:26:26I'm sure they'd love to fix it for you.
00:26:28It'd be no problem.
00:26:29Oh, it's fine.
00:26:30Really.
00:26:31I am having far too good a time to let a little mayo bring me down.
00:26:34Well, let's see it.
00:26:43Very mayo-forward.
00:26:52Uh, hey, whatever happened to Matt Croner?
00:26:54Oh.
00:26:55We're gonna bring up old high school exes, are we?
00:26:58Throwing you off your game is about the only chance I have.
00:27:01I don't think he can do that.
00:27:03Uh, we broke up in college.
00:27:06Oh, no.
00:27:07I was really rooting for you guys.
00:27:09Why'd you break up?
00:27:10Oh, I don't know.
00:27:12He would never open up.
00:27:14I don't know.
00:27:15I keep ending up in these relationships with guys that, you know, don't fight for it.
00:27:21I mean, I get it.
00:27:22I work long hours, and that's hard, but I still, I...
00:27:26You don't have to tell me.
00:27:27It's the reason I'm single, too.
00:27:29Women cannot handle the hustle and grind of dating a meteorologist.
00:27:35Mm-hmm.
00:27:36You know, you haven't changed a bit from high school.
00:27:40That bad, huh?
00:27:41Not at all.
00:27:42I just...
00:27:43I mean, you have the same, you know, carefree disposition as you did in class.
00:27:48Okay, yeah.
00:27:49Great recovery.
00:27:50I can go with that, yeah.
00:27:51Well, what about you?
00:27:52You look the same, albeit with fewer emo punk t-shirts.
00:27:56True.
00:27:57Uh, but I feel different.
00:27:59How so?
00:28:00Give me the Crash Course in Hope.
00:28:03Five things that are different about you now from when you were in high school.
00:28:06Oh, five things.
00:28:07Mm-hmm.
00:28:08Feel free to let it, like, throw you off your game, too.
00:28:09Right, yeah, okay.
00:28:10Five things that are different about Hope.
00:28:12Well, for one, I...
00:28:14I speak three different languages now.
00:28:16Wow.
00:28:17Okay.
00:28:18Oh, I make my own ramen.
00:28:19Mm-hmm.
00:28:20And I really enjoy audiobooks of romance novels.
00:28:24What kind of, uh, spice level we talking here?
00:28:26Well, normally I stick to a PG-13, but recently I have...
00:28:29I...
00:28:30I meant ramen.
00:28:33Okay, I am a sucker for an escape room, and...
00:28:39I played a lot of darts in med school.
00:28:41In med school.
00:28:42Did you see that?
00:28:43Yeah.
00:28:44I really feel like Hope from high school would have let me win one.
00:28:46I'm kind of missing her right now.
00:28:50Wow.
00:28:51Guess time flies when you're having fun.
00:28:53It does.
00:28:55Hey, I was thinking, since, you know, you're covering the fundraiser...
00:29:00Mm-hmm.
00:29:01Um, would you like to come by the hospital tomorrow,
00:29:04and I can walk you through what you're raising money for?
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:08Yeah, that'd be great.
00:29:09Okay.
00:29:10It's a...
00:29:11It's a...
00:29:12An appointment.
00:29:13It's an appointment.
00:29:14Yeah.
00:29:15Sounds good.
00:29:16Good night, Ted.
00:29:17Night, Hope.
00:29:18Good night, Ted.
00:29:19Night, Hope.
00:29:20Good night, Ted.
00:29:21Good night, Hope.
00:29:22Oh, no.
00:29:23No.
00:29:24Oh, come on.
00:29:33What do I do?
00:29:35What do I do?
00:29:36No!
00:29:38Oh, come on.
00:29:43What do I do? What do I do?
00:29:47Yes.
00:29:53There we go.
00:30:00Where are you?
00:30:02Oh, I found you. There you are.
00:30:06Hey, fellas.
00:30:09No, I don't want to press charges. He's my brother.
00:30:12Sorry, ma'am. We couldn't confirm he was family.
00:30:14A lot of Coopers out there?
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:18I wonder how the big houses changed him.
00:30:20We'll bring him right out.
00:30:22None other than national treasure himself, Mark Harmon.
00:30:27Can you believe that?
00:30:28Dude even smelled handsome. I don't know how that's possible.
00:30:31Ooh, nice PJs.
00:30:35Rave.
00:30:37That's not funny.
00:30:38Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:30:40Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:30:41Merry Christmas, Dad.
00:30:43It's hard enough being the favorite, but now I have the pleasure of telling Dad his baby boy got arrested.
00:30:48Has the family newsletter gone out yet?
00:30:49You're the worst and also the best.
00:30:52Thanks for bailing me out.
00:30:54All I'm saying is when it comes to inheritance, they take things like a criminal record into account.
00:30:59Well, by that standard, you should probably fire me from promoting the Invitational.
00:31:02You have a good point.
00:31:04I mean, I did give the promos to all of my events to the unluckiest guy in the world.
00:31:08What if I didn't pick up my phone?
00:31:10Yeah, but you did.
00:31:11And outside of some light incarceration, I had a great day.
00:31:14Hung out with Ruth and her walking crew.
00:31:15I got a bunch of clothes.
00:31:16I had dinner with Hope.
00:31:18You went out with Hope?
00:31:20Well, I didn't.
00:31:21No, no.
00:31:22I didn't go out with Hope.
00:31:23Like, I was with Hope and we were out.
00:31:27Cool your jets.
00:31:28Alright, it was a friendly hang.
00:31:29But I am seeing her tomorrow.
00:31:31She's gonna tell me all about the new children's wing.
00:31:33Figured it'd be good for the promos.
00:31:34Huh.
00:31:35You know who else could have told you about the children's wing?
00:31:37Hmm?

00:32:34It's our hospital's most valuable customer.
00:32:36What can I say?
00:32:37I love to support local business.

00:32:53Yeah.
00:32:54Wow.

00:33:39Mmm.
00:33:40Mmm.
00:33:41Mmm.
00:33:45Is that peanut butter?
00:33:48Yes.
00:33:49It's our secret ingredient.
00:33:50Is it?
00:33:51Mmm.
00:33:57Wow, that is, that is very, very good.
00:34:01Thanks for everything, Hope.
00:34:02I know I didn't get a chance earlier to say, but, uh, I'm really sorry to hear about the passing of your dad.
00:34:14If you ever need anything, please let Ron and I know, okay?
00:34:16I will.
00:34:17Merry Christmas.
00:34:18Merry Christmas.
00:34:20Hope, I'm so sorry.
00:34:22Mmm.
00:34:23I didn't know about your dad.
00:34:24Oh, well, I didn't talk about it.
00:34:26I don't talk about it.
00:34:28It's why I came back to Lackawanna.
00:34:31Yeah.
00:34:32I knew he wasn't doing so well.
00:34:34So he, um, died three months ago.
00:34:38He, you okay?
00:34:39No, uh, I'm so sorry about all that.
00:34:41Do you have an EpiPen?
00:34:42Are you allergic to peanut butter?
00:34:43Yes, massively.
00:34:44You can't eat the cookie.
00:34:47Mmm.
00:34:49Doesn't hurt.
00:34:50Your face is swelling.
00:34:52Why would you eat the cookie?
00:34:55Okay, first of all, Hope, who puts peanut butter in a gingerbread cookie?
00:35:00No one.
00:35:01That's who.
00:35:02Also, what am I gonna do, spit it out?
00:35:03Really?
00:35:04Did you see her?
00:35:05Big doe eyes?
00:35:06Arm and a little cast?
00:35:07Not a chance.
00:35:09Ted.
00:35:13I was gonna go home and finally decorate, but now we're gonna have to keep you under close observation.
00:35:21Oh, do you?
00:35:23No, we actually do.
00:35:24It's, it's protocol.
00:35:25Oh, it's protocol.
00:35:26Yep.
00:35:27Understood.
00:35:28Uh, well, I could help you.
00:35:31Hmm.
00:35:33Okay.
00:35:35Start with this guy at the top.
00:35:37Let's go decorate a tree.
00:35:47Let's go decorate a tree.
00:35:50What do I smell? Is that frosting and anxiety?
00:36:02The costume party is tonight and I have 7,000 things I need to do.
00:36:05How can I help?
00:36:06I'm so glad you asked.
00:36:07You can call Hope and invite her to the party.
00:36:08She wants you to ask her out.
00:36:09How do you know?
00:36:10Because she likes you.
00:36:11You think so?
00:36:12I am pretty likable.
00:36:13Call her.
00:36:14Ouch.
00:36:15Ouch.
00:36:45That was a long conversation.
00:36:55Hmm?
00:36:56Yeah.
00:36:57Whew.
00:36:58She is, uh, quite the chatterbox.
00:36:59She said she's, um, gonna see what time she gets off work and try to cum.
00:37:03What's wrong?
00:37:06Nothing's wrong.
00:37:07You're sweating.
00:37:09Warm.
00:37:10It's 30 degrees out.
00:37:12I'm an athlete, Kate.
00:37:13I run hot.
00:37:15Shady, shady, brother.

00:37:54Oh, no.
00:37:55Come on.
00:37:56Ugh.
00:37:57Hi, Hope.
00:37:58This is Kate Cooper.
00:38:00Snow wide wide never had so much fun on ride ride.
00:38:05Rockin' on Christmas Day.
00:38:06Little light, light never seen it done this way right.
00:38:10Hey.
00:38:11Wow.
00:38:12Awesome.
00:38:13Scrooge, come on.
00:38:14Hi.
00:38:15This is Kate Cooper.
00:38:16Hey.
00:38:17Christmas Day, you lie, lie, you never seen a dog this way, you're right.
00:38:23Hey.
00:38:27Hey, wow.
00:38:29Awesome Scrooge costume.
00:38:32Costume, you say?
00:38:34I worked on that the whole way here.
00:38:37I love that you arrived in character.
00:38:39But why are you here right now?
00:38:42Kate called me.
00:38:43She said there was a costume party.
00:38:45I had to come.
00:38:46Oh, did she?
00:38:48Yeah, okay.
00:38:49Well, that's great.
00:38:50No, it's just that the party doesn't start for another hour.
00:38:53Oh.
00:38:54Uh, I thought you said six.
00:38:56Huh?
00:38:57I did?
00:38:58Oh, I thought I said seven.
00:39:00I don't think so.
00:39:02Oh, I'm so sorry.
00:39:03I, uh, I meant seven.
00:39:05Oops.
00:39:07Oops.
00:39:07Carry on.
00:39:08Uh-huh.
00:39:09Yeah.
00:39:10Her.
00:39:10Come on in, m'lady.
00:39:12I regret the accent now.
00:39:18No, I respected the commitment.
00:39:22Will you give me a minute?
00:39:23I have to talk to Kate real quick.
00:39:26Go, go, go.
00:39:27Ow, ow, ow.
00:39:29What?
00:39:30What are you doing?
00:39:31You didn't invite her to the party.
00:39:32How do you know that?
00:39:33Because I saw the ring footage of you leaving her a thousand messages.
00:39:36That is an invasion of privacy.
00:39:37You picked the one place on the entire property that's right in front of the camera.
00:39:42And what I saw dead, it was bone chilling.
00:39:45It was like watching a car accident in slow motion.
00:39:47I froze up.
00:39:49I didn't know what to say.
00:39:50It's because you like her.
00:39:51Oh, of course I like her.
00:39:52Have you seen her, Kate?
00:39:53She's smart and funny and beautiful.
00:39:55And she's great with kids.
00:39:57Why are you trying so hard to set us up?
00:40:00Because I am your sister.
00:40:01And I love you and I want you to be happy.
00:40:03Fine.
00:40:03I love you too.
00:40:05Get out there.
00:40:07Hey.
00:40:11Hi.
00:40:12It's so nice that your sister still lives in your family home.
00:40:15Yeah.
00:40:16She bought it for my dad when he retired to Arizona.
00:40:18Hmm.
00:40:19Well, tell him hi.
00:40:21Not that he'll remember me.
00:40:24Who can forget you?
00:40:25Look what I found.
00:40:26Mind if I take a look?
00:40:27Go for it.
00:40:28Our yearbook.
00:40:29It's been a minute.
00:40:31Uh, uh, what?
00:40:33What?
00:40:34What is your quote?
00:40:36I'll spread my wings.
00:40:37I'll learn how to fly.
00:40:38I'll do what it takes to touch the sky.
00:40:41Kelly Clarkson.
00:40:42Hmm.
00:40:43Really regretting that one now.
00:40:44Hmm.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:45Let's see yours.
00:40:47Certainty of death.
00:40:48Small chance of success.
00:40:50What are we waiting for?
00:40:52Gimli.
00:40:53Who's Gimli?
00:40:54What?
00:40:55Are you kidding?
00:40:55From Lord of the Rings?
00:40:57Brave.
00:40:57Warrior.
00:40:58Dwarf.
00:40:58Loyal.
00:40:59Stubborn.
00:40:59What?
00:41:00Hmm.
00:41:00I could see that.
00:41:02Okay.
00:41:04Nice burn.
00:41:05All right.
00:41:06Hope Newbery.
00:41:07Most popular.
00:41:08Smartest.
00:41:09Most talented.
00:41:10Most likely to succeed.
00:41:13Were you on the yearbook staff?
00:41:14That feels excessive.
00:41:16Okay.
00:41:17Ted Cooper.
00:41:19Most likely to report the weather at a mid-sized TV station.
00:41:24That is bizarrely accurate.
00:41:26Wow.
00:41:27Wow.
00:41:27Aw, look at these cuties.
00:41:35Still how we are to this day.
00:41:36Us against the world.
00:41:37You two seem close.
00:41:39Yeah, we are.
00:41:41Kate kind of pulled double duty as big sister and parent.
00:41:44Oh.
00:41:45Our mom left when we were young, so she really stepped up and helped raise me.
00:41:50To this day, she still blames me for her premature frown lines.
00:41:53Okay.
00:41:57You were cute in high school.
00:42:05I was?
00:42:07I mean, I think we might have gotten along, given you drew a big red heart around my face.
00:42:16Is that, what, is that what that is?
00:42:18Yeah, that's what it is.
00:42:20Ooh.
00:42:23Why didn't you ask me out?
00:42:25Did you not see the superlatives page?
00:42:28I loved A.V. Club and science fair.
00:42:30It literally never occurred to me that a girl like you would be into a guy like me.
00:42:35Well, I, I would have.
00:42:46Really wishing we'd had this conversation when we were 18.
00:42:49Mm.
00:42:53Are you still?
00:42:57Still what?
00:42:59Into guys who love A.V. Club and science fair?
00:43:01Ted, can you get that?
00:43:10Oh, yeah.
00:43:11Let me grab my hat.
00:43:12Oh, Jacob Marley.
00:43:23Hi, everybody.
00:43:24Come on in.
00:43:25Drinks and snacks in the back.

00:44:07Thanks, yeah.
00:44:08Hi, everyone.
00:44:09What is it like being the big sister to New York's most likable man?
00:44:18Exhausting.

00:44:24Pretty much.
00:44:27He just always likes to see the good in the world, you know?
00:44:30Yeah.
00:44:31Well, it's admirable.

00:48:13That was the extent of my ASLs.
00:48:15Was that a yes?
00:48:18Yes.
00:48:19That was a yes.
00:48:22Okay, so far we have an intimate trip to the scrapbooking store and Salisbury Steak and
00:48:31Bingo Night.
00:48:32Do we have any other date suggestions?
00:48:33Don't limit yourself to Lackawanna.
00:48:35Maybe get out of town for the day.
00:48:38Get out.
00:48:40Ruth Mittens, you magnificent angel.

00:48:58Mm-hmm.
00:48:59Mm-hmm.
00:49:00Oh, I should change.
00:49:01No, I'm just kidding with you.
00:49:02You're actually perfectly dressed for what we're gonna do.
00:49:03Okay.
00:49:04You're gonna love it.
00:49:05Oh.
00:49:06Ready?
00:49:07Yep.
00:49:08Okay.
00:49:09You're comfortable around horses, right?
00:49:10You're joking, right?
00:49:11You're joking, right?
00:49:12Oh.
00:49:13Oh.
00:49:14Oh.

00:49:25You're joking, right?
00:49:27You're joking, right?
00:49:48Greetings fellow elves and welcome to Escape from Santa's Workshop.
00:49:52My name is Brendan and I, like you,
00:49:55I'm an elf.
00:50:00Sorry, I just got back to town.
00:50:03I was partying with my elf buddies all night.
00:50:05Didn't realize I was pulling a solo shift today.
00:50:08You're doing great Brendan.
00:50:09Thanks man.
00:50:11I've been working hard to get the toys built for Christmas,
00:50:14but Santa left without a toy.
00:50:17A toy for one of the nicest kids in the world.
00:50:20Your goal is to make it out of the workshop
00:50:22and use Christmas magic to get the toy into this child's living room before morning.
00:50:28You have an hour.
00:50:30You need help? Just say,
00:50:31Brendan, I need help.
00:50:32And I can give you a hint from the North Pole.
00:50:35Finally, Santa has a no phones in the workshop policy,
00:50:39so we ask that you leave him here.
00:50:43Santa's policy.
00:50:45The smart watch.
00:50:47And the smart watch.
00:50:49Yeah.
00:50:50Now Santa is a stickinger.
00:50:51Stickler.
00:50:52Ha!
00:50:53Exit out the back door, take a left.
00:50:55Alright.
00:50:56Thanks Brendan.
00:50:57You got it.
00:50:58Let's do this.
00:51:10Okay, Santa's workshop certainly got an upgrade.
00:51:16Yeah, definitely not warm, cozy holiday vibes.
00:51:18Can I sing it?
00:51:23Ho ho ho!
00:51:24Welcome married participants!
00:51:26You have 59 minutes to earn your freedom!
00:51:29You good?
00:51:31Good, yeah.
00:51:32Did you scream?
00:51:33Who was the machine?
00:51:34I think I heard you scream.
00:51:35No, I don't.
00:51:36Nope.
00:51:37Don't know.
00:51:38Wow.
00:51:39Okay, I got boxes.
00:51:40Okay.
00:51:41We got some switches.
00:51:47Oh, elves.
00:51:49Lots of elves.
00:51:54Hey!
00:51:55We got a black light over here.
00:51:57Okay.
00:51:58They have some kind of security ID on here.
00:52:01Okay.
00:52:02Makes sense.
00:52:03Santa has a lot of top secret tech.
00:52:05The elves need clearance.
00:52:06Yeah, makes total sense.
00:52:08Okay, there's arrows on the boxes.
00:52:11Okay.
00:52:12Let's think.
00:52:13Six elves.
00:52:14Six boxes.
00:52:15One toy sack.
00:52:17I don't know.
00:52:18Maybe the arrows are a misdirect.
00:52:20Oh, that's good.
00:52:22Wow.
00:52:23Hey, wait.
00:52:24Do yours have a barcode on the back?
00:52:25We do.
00:52:26Maybe they need to be scanned?
00:52:28Black light.
00:52:29Black light.
00:52:3056.
00:52:31Ooh.
00:52:3222.

00:52:3856.
00:52:3922.
00:52:4084.
00:52:41It's gotta be a combination, right?
00:52:42There's gotta be a lock.
00:52:43Lock.
00:52:44Okay, let's look for a lock.
00:52:45If I were a lock, where would I be?
00:52:50Lock.
00:52:51Lock.
00:52:52Nice.
00:52:53Okay.
00:52:5456.

00:52:59No, I don't wanna reach him.
00:53:00Yeah, fair enough.

01:07:35She's not picking up.
01:07:36Well, Hope's a doctor.
01:07:37She's probably busy.
01:07:38Speaking of busy, I have to go.
01:07:43Goodbye.
01:07:44Wait, am I ever thinking this whole thing?
01:07:46Because it did seem like we were really clicking.
01:07:47Ted, I'm sure whatever is going on, if anyone can work it out, it's you.
01:07:51But if you make me any later than I already am, I will hurt you in ways you can't imagine.
01:07:56Understood.

01:08:11Bye, Ted.
01:08:12Bye.
01:08:14Have a great day.
01:08:17She can't say it back.
01:08:22Ted!
01:08:23We were trying to call you.
01:08:25Oh, I lost my phone.
01:08:26What's up?
01:08:27Well, the girls and I pitched in and, well, here.
01:08:33For me?
01:08:34Mm-hmm.
01:08:34Aw, thank you.
01:08:38No way!
01:08:42Aw, this is awesome!
01:08:45Thank you!
01:08:46Aw, I gotta pop this on right now.
01:08:49I'm part of the crew!
01:08:50Is everything okay, Ted?
01:09:13Seem a little less enthusiastic than normal.
01:09:16Especially given that outfit.
01:09:18Keep going, girls.
01:09:19We'll catch up.
01:09:21I assure you, it's not the outfit.
01:09:24The outfit is incredible.
01:09:26It's hope.
01:09:27We were supposed to talk last night, but I lost my phone.
01:09:29So I went to her house and I left a note, but she never called.
01:09:33I'm just kind of spinning out, wondering if she's having second thoughts.
01:09:36Mm-mm.
01:09:37In life and in love, there will be so many situations where you get your wires crossed.
01:09:43Don't assume the worst.
01:09:44It's just like in the movies. Young couples are always breaking up because of some silly misunderstanding.
01:09:50Rock Hudson and Doris Day, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.
01:09:56Yeah, they didn't break up. He died.
01:09:58Because they misunderstood how big that door really was.
01:10:03Don't fall into the same trap as everyone else.
01:10:06As Cher would say, snap out of it!
01:10:08You will talk to her again soon.
01:10:12I know it.
01:10:14Thanks, Ruth.
01:10:14Thanks, Ruth.
01:10:31Hello?
01:10:32Uh, hey, is this Hope?
01:10:37Ted?
01:10:38No, Ed. I found this phone on my ride this morning.
01:10:41I'm just calling all the recent callers trying to figure out who it belongs to.
01:10:45So wait, you've had Ted's phone since last night?
01:10:49Ted Cooper? I remember him. Sweet dude!
01:10:53I gave him a ride yesterday.
01:10:55Tell you what, if you can give me his address...
01:10:57Oh, I've done it again.
01:11:00Oh, what? What did you do?
01:11:03That thing. The thing that I do.
01:11:06Oh, I gotta go find Ted.
01:11:08Thank you. Thank you.
01:11:10So what should I do with Ted's phone?
01:11:12Yeah, yeah, I'll call you back.
01:11:14Hello? Hello?
01:11:24Hey!
01:11:25There you are.
01:11:26Where have you been?
01:11:29What are you wearing?
01:11:30Never mind, that doesn't matter right now.
01:11:31Well, actually, that's a whole thing.
01:11:34That's a lot.
01:11:35Is everything all right?
01:11:36No.
01:11:37I mean, it wasn't.
01:11:41I called you last night, and this girl, she picked up the phone and she said she was with you,
01:11:47and I, you know, I didn't know how to take that.
01:11:49I just, I realized that, you know, it's not like we're exclusive or anything.
01:11:54I mean, we've just been on one date.
01:11:56I, I, I was just like, that's not cool.
01:11:59Yeah.
01:11:59That doesn't seem like something Ted would do, but then you didn't call me, so I...
01:12:05Did you get my note?
01:12:07No, I...
01:12:08Yeah, I left a note for you on your front door.
01:12:10Well, a driver called and said that he had your phone.
01:12:14Ed has my phone?
01:12:15Of course you know the driver.
01:12:18Listen, Ted, I was so mad at myself for sitting around waiting for you to call that I just,
01:12:24I, um, I gave up.
01:12:28And I do that sometimes.
01:12:30I do, and I shouldn't, and I'm sorry.
01:12:38What's so funny?
01:12:40Ruth, she called this.
01:12:41It's, it's a classic misunderstanding.
01:12:42When you thought I got the note, and then I didn't call you, were, were you worried?
01:12:49Yeah, yeah, I was worried that you were having second thoughts, but now I'm just, I'm glad that we cleared it up.
01:12:53Well, no, I'm glad that we cleared it up.
01:12:55I, I, I think I'm just trying to talk about, you know, what we were feeling.
01:12:59Okay, yeah, I, I get that.
01:13:03Do you get that?
01:13:07Are, are you upset that I'm not upset?
01:13:12Well, no, I, I, well, now maybe I think I'm upset that you never get upset.
01:13:20I, I get upset.
01:13:21Do you?
01:13:22Because I, I feel like you're happy all the time.
01:13:24No, but even if I was, I mean, is there anything wrong with that?
01:13:27No, it's just, I, I think it makes it hard for me to understand you sometimes.
01:13:31Okay, um, what, uh, what, what don't you understand?
01:13:38For one, why wouldn't you take the job in Buffalo?
01:13:41Well, that, see, that's complicated, right?
01:13:44Because Jerry gave me this great opportunity when no one else would.
01:13:46I know, I know.
01:13:47It's the job.
01:13:48It's the, the cookie.
01:13:49It's the mayo on the burger.
01:13:51It's, it's, it's everything.
01:13:52I don't, I don't know why you would give up what you want just to make everybody else happy.
01:13:57I don't like being an imposition.
01:13:58Advocating for yourself isn't an imposition.
01:14:00Ted, I like so much about you.
01:14:05I do, I really do.
01:14:06I just, I think, you know, when life gets hard and does all the time in my line of work,
01:14:12I, I'm, I'm just not sure that I can be with someone that keeps it so surface all the time.
01:14:20If you, uh, I, if you think I just bury my head in the sand, I don't think you really know me at all.
01:14:29Then help me know you.
01:14:31I think there's so much more to Ted than you let any of us see.
01:14:37Merry Christmas, Ted.
01:14:42Oh, wait.
01:14:43You seem uncharacteristically positive.
01:15:13Hey, man, we already hit our fundraising goal.
01:15:16We did it.
01:15:17What?
01:15:17You did it.
01:15:19Congratulations.
01:15:22Are you okay?
01:15:25Yeah.
01:15:28No.
01:15:31Hope and I had a fight.
01:15:33Wow.
01:15:34You got into a fight.
01:15:36I didn't know you had it in you.
01:15:38Well, hope fought.
01:15:40I kind of just stood there and took it.
01:15:43Oh.
01:15:45Walk with me.
01:15:50I'm going to say something nice to you, but don't get used to it because it is only going
01:15:54to happen once.
01:15:55Okay.
01:15:56You deserve everything good in life, but you hold yourself back.
01:16:02You need to go after what you want.
01:16:04It might be too late.
01:16:06That's something people say when they're scared.
01:16:08You're going to be okay.
01:16:11You're going to tell her how you feel, and you'll be back annoying me in no time.
01:16:15Us against the world?
01:16:16Us against the world.
01:16:17Hey, what you've done here is incredible.
01:16:23Have you taken a moment to appreciate that?
01:16:26Yeah.
01:16:27No, dude.
01:16:28I'm serious.
01:16:29Look around you.
01:16:30This took a Herculean effort, and you crushed it.
01:16:34Soak it in.
01:16:37It's moments like these that make you almost worth the frown lines.
01:16:40Almost.
01:16:41Almost.
01:16:47So, um, that's what you're wearing to the gingerbread invitational fair?
01:17:07Oh, I'm not going.
01:17:08Got it.
01:17:09Okay.
01:17:10You told me on the phone you don't want to run into Ted.
01:17:13That's right.
01:17:14Then why are you here?
01:17:16Because I think you're being ridiculous.
01:17:18Hope, let me get this straight.
01:17:19You're mad at him for not being mad at you, right?
01:17:22Yeah.
01:17:23He's happy.
01:17:24All the time.
01:17:26Oh, no.
01:17:27A handsome, gainfully employed man in a good mood.
01:17:29I think he's just trying to impress you.
01:17:31He's trying to impress everyone.
01:17:32So he cares about everyone.
01:17:34How terrible.
01:17:37Look, I have watched you go through some really hard times.
01:17:42And I wanted to help, but I don't know how.
01:17:44And then here comes Ted Cooper.
01:17:47And he has put a smile on your face ever since he came back into town.
01:17:52Hope, that's a beautiful thing.
01:17:55What are you scared of?
01:17:57I've just lost a lot.
01:18:03Starting to feel like everybody leaves.
01:18:06Hope, I only think it's you if you leave him on the other side of the city.
01:18:20Fight for him.
01:18:21I'm here in Lackawanna, where the Gingerbread Invitational is officially underway.
01:18:36The giant gingerbread man behind me will soon be measured to determine whether or not it
01:18:40has set a state record for the largest gingerbread man in New York history.
01:18:45Until then, I'll be here hanging out with members of my hometown discussing the art
01:18:49of baking, Lackawanna, and of course, Christmas.
01:18:52Go get him.
01:18:53Okay.
01:18:53You got him.
01:18:54I know, I know, I know.
01:18:55Let's talk to some folks, shall we?
01:18:57You too.
01:18:57Oh, come on.
01:18:58Dressed to the nines.
01:18:59What is it that you love about Christmas?
01:19:00Not going up there?
01:19:04No, I hate crowds.
01:19:05Yeah, me too.
01:19:06Last time I braved a crowd like this was the Heiress tour.
01:19:09You went to the Heiress tour?
01:19:11Oh, I wouldn't have missed it.
01:19:13Oh.
01:19:14Well, hi.
01:19:15I'm Sydney.
01:19:16Brandon.
01:19:17Hi.
01:19:18Hi.
01:19:20Let's see who I'm...
01:19:20Yes, you.
01:19:21What is it that you love about Christmas?
01:19:23Oh, I like Christmas because of the presents.
01:19:26And my grandma and grandma come to town.
01:19:28And because I like presents.
01:19:29I think you said presents twice.
01:19:32I like presents.
01:19:33I see you do.
01:19:34Well, I hope you get everything you hope for this year.
01:19:37Who else?
01:19:41Ma'am, how about you?
01:19:45Yes, you.
01:19:47Oh, no.
01:19:48Oh, come on.
01:19:49Don't be shy.
01:19:51Come on.
01:19:56Hi.
01:19:57Uh, what is it that...
01:19:59What are you hoping for this Christmas?
01:20:04Um...
01:20:05World peace.
01:20:08Seems like a good one.
01:20:11Sure.
01:20:12A, you know, goodwill to everyone.
01:20:17Yeah.
01:20:18Goes without saying.
01:20:18Yeah.
01:20:19And, um...
01:20:20Maybe a conversation that's not on air.
01:20:28Well, it, uh, sounds like the perfect time to throw it back to you in the studio, Ken.
01:20:34And we're clear.
01:20:37Hi.
01:20:37Hi.
01:20:38Oh, it's good to see you.
01:20:40Can I go first?
01:20:44I'm aware that I am chronically optimistic and that I brightside every situation.
01:20:50But I do get sad, and I do get angry, and I can do better at showing that.
01:20:58And you were right.
01:21:00I don't advocate for myself or fight for what I want nearly as much as I could or should.
01:21:06But I can do better.
01:21:07And I, I, I will do better.
01:21:12Starting with you.
01:21:16I took the job in Buffalo.
01:21:19You did?
01:21:21Yeah.
01:21:22It's a great opportunity.
01:21:24And, um, happens to be much closer to the girl I like.
01:21:28That's good news.
01:21:29Yeah?
01:21:30Yeah.
01:21:30What did your producers and Corning say?
01:21:35I don't know.
01:21:37I didn't ask.
01:21:47Coming back in three, two, one.
01:21:51We're live.
01:21:52Ted, Ted, we're live.
01:21:54Hey, it's Ted.
01:22:00Come on.
01:22:02Oh, my God.
01:22:04I can't believe it.
01:22:05That's hard.
01:22:11Lights in the windows.
01:22:13Ted gave me odds at 10,001.
01:22:16I'm rich.
01:22:17Oh.
01:22:21I'm going to have to sell my boat.
01:22:22And the family's got to win.
01:22:24Ted, Ted, we're live.
01:22:30Woo!
01:22:33Oh.
01:22:35Yeah.
01:22:35Ted, Ted, Ted.
01:22:37Ted, Ted, Ted.
01:22:39Best Christmas ever.
01:22:41If you haven't already done so, please consider donating to the Lackawanna Children's Hospital.
01:22:46I can't think of a more worthy cause this holiday season.
01:22:50From Lackawanna, I'm Ted Hooper.
01:22:53No, I'm not.
01:22:55Just got me flustered.
01:22:57From Lackawanna, I'm Ted Cooper.
01:22:59Merry Christmas.
01:23:01And we're clear.
01:23:03Oh, thank you.
01:23:04Honestly, thank goodness.
01:23:08That was a professional first for me.
01:23:13Well, I guess my Christmas bad luck is finally behind me.
01:23:19I don't know.
01:23:49I don't know.
