00:00:00Good morning, Corning. I hope you're all having a wonderful start to your day. Let's take a look at the weather.
00:00:07We have a cold front from Lake Huron heading southeast over Buffalo, bringing Arctic temperatures and, more importantly,
00:00:13a chance for me to finally break out that parka I got on Black Friday. Until then, expect highs in the mid to low 40s.
00:00:20Well, thank you, Ted. So, 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, where 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 to 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, encouraging 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. You 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. And the year before that, I believe you got attacked by a possum who was living in your Christmas tree.
00:01:17Yes, yes, indeed I was. But 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.
00:01:24So who really got the worst end of that deal? And 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.
00:01:41All 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, and it just brings out the best in everyone.
00:02:00And sure, I have had a few tricky, maybe problematic, potentially 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 are 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.
00:03:10The fact is, you did.
00:03:12When no one else would.
00:03:13And 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.
00:03:22Yeah.
00:03:23I still maintain that Santa Does the Weather would have been a great segment had that chimney been a little wider.
00:03:28Mm-hmm.
00:03:29Hey, did WDTP give you a call yet?
00:03:31Yeah.
00:03:32Actually, they called this morning.
00:03:33So, did you give them an answer?
00:03:34No.
00:03:35No?
00:03:36Oh.
00:03:37Still 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.
00:03:41You guys are like family.
00:03:43Hey, hey.
00:03:44Whoa, 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.
00:03:54What?
00:03:55Hmm.
00:03:58This is dark, guys.
00:04:00Come on.
00:04:01Impaled by a reindeer antler?
00:04:03What?
00:04:04Who took that bet?
00:04:06Janice?
00:04:07Ken gave me 500 to one.
00:04:09I couldn't pass up those sweet, sweet odds.
00:04:11Also, 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.
00:04:21Joke's on you clowns.
00:04:22I don't like fruitcake.
00:04:23Also, not funny to root for me going to jail.
00:04:25I would do horribly in jail.
00:04:27You know what?
00:04:28None of this matters anyways.
00:04:29Because this year?
00:04:30Haha.
00:04:31This is the year that old Ted Cooper's Christmas bad luck finally turns around.
00:04:36Losing a lot of money, folks.
00:04:38You smell great.
00:04:39I know.
00:04:40You smell great.
00:04:42I know.
00:04:43I know.
00:04:44I know.
00:05:14Baby, brother!
00:05:16Hey!
00:05:17Hi!
00:05:18I have been waiting for half an hour.
00:05:21Can we go?
00:05:22Absolutely.
00:05:23Where are we going?
00:05:24Going to sleep.
00:05:25Going home.
00:05:26Not in that order.
00:05:27What?
00:05:28Kate?
00:05:29No.
00:05:30That's boring.
00:05:31I just got in the town.
00:05:32Let's go have a drink.
00:05:33Kate?
00:05:34I have been waiting for half an hour.
00:05:35Can we go?
00:05:36Absolutely.
00:05:37Where are we going?
00:05:38Going to sleep.
00:05:39Going home.
00:05:40Not in that order.
00:05:41What?
00:05:42Kate?
00:05:43No.
00:05:44That's boring.
00:05:45I just got in the town.
00:05:46Let's go have a drink.
00:05:47Ted.
00:05:48Kate.
00:05:49Fine.
00:05:50We can have one drink.
00:05:51A small one.
00:05:52Maybe a festive shot.
00:05:53Shots.
00:05:54I love where your head's at.
00:05:55Shot.
00:05:56So many shots.
00:05:57Singular.
00:06:03Where is my tag?
00:06:06There are fresh towels and a brand new toothbrush upstairs because I know you always forget
00:06:11everything.
00:06:12You know me so well.
00:06:13Your suitcase is on my table.
00:06:16Just give me a second.
00:06:17Something's not right.
00:06:22Yikes.
00:06:23I must have had the same kind of suitcase as that girl on the bus.
00:06:26Should I be worried about you covering the fundraiser with everything that happens to
00:06:29you every Christmas?
00:06:31What?
00:06:32No.
00:06:33This isn't a setback.
00:06:34This is an opportunity to try out some new looks.
00:06:38I mean, oof.
00:06:40Oh, come on.
00:06:42Sugar.
00:06:43What?
00:06:44These might actually fit.
00:06:45Wow.
00:06:52Good morning.
00:06:53Hey.
00:06:55Wow.
00:06:56That 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?
00:07:01I am making us breakfast.
00:07:02Since when do you make us breakfast?
00:07:04You made me breakfast my entire childhood.
00:07:06The literal least I can do is make you the occasional omelette.
00:07:09Aw.
00:07:10Uh, you're gonna go shopping today, right?
00:07:13Because your first promo is tonight and, um, I'm not sure that, uh, that's the vibe?
00:07:18I am not going anywhere until you try that omelette.
00:07:21Oh, okay.
00:07:27Mm.
00:07:28Uh-huh.
00:07:29Fluffy and delicious.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:31Secret ingredient is love.
00:07:32Mm.
00:07:33Hey, I couldn't help but notice the alarming lack of 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 in the last three minutes.
00:07:46You're wearing a pink crop sweater.
00:07:48Yeah.
00:07:57Stay.
00:07:58Good box.
00:07:59Nope.
00:08:00Stay.
00:08:01Stay.
00:08:02Stay.
00:08:04There you go.
00:08:08Hi, Ted.
00:08:09This is Max at WDTV.
00:08:11Check it in on our job offer.
00:08:13Give us a call and no rush.
00:08:15Merry Christmas.
00:08:30Unstoppable.
00:08:32Oh, no.
00:08:38How are you holding up?
00:08:39I'm fine.
00:08:40You're unconscious.
00:08:41It's called a cat nap, Kate.
00:08:42I asked you what 2 plus 2 was and you said 22.
00:08:45And I've never been great at math.
00:08:47You have your masters in atmospheric sciences, Ted.
00:08:49Put the ice pack on.
00:08:55Ted?
00:08:58Ms. Mittens?
00:08:59What happened to you?
00:09:00A box of Christmas lights.
00:09:01Oh.
00:09:02You?
00:09:03Hot cookie chic.
00:09:04Oof.
00:09:05Are you still teaching science?
00:09:06Hmm?
00:09:07Retired.
00:09:08Last year.
00:09:09Wow.
00:09:10Congratulations, Ms. Mittens.
00:09:11Oh, please.
00:09:12Call me Ruth.
00:09:13It's great to see you, Ruth.
00:09:14I'm back every Christmas.
00:09:15How have we never run into each other?
00:09:16Oh, I usually do the holidays in Florida, but not this year.
00:09:19Well, Florida's loss is my gain.
00:09:22I 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 in the chimney at Christmas.
00:09:31Mm-hmm.
00:09:32Hilarious.
00:09:33Yeah.
00:09:34Well, 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 in grabbing a coffee with your former favorite student sometime
00:09:41this week?
00:09:42Oh, why?
00:09:43Is she here?
00:09:46Still got it.
00:09:47Ms. Mittens?
00:09:48Okay.
00:09:49Amazing.
00:09:51Take care.
00:09:52Yeah.
00:09:53Ted, they're ready.
00:09:54Oh, great.
00:09:55Good luck.
00:09:56Here's your eyes back.
00:09:57Thanks.
00:10:02Okay, next time, let's just make sure that we check the expiration date on the eggnog.
00:10:07Merry Christmas.
00:10:14How many cups you had today?
00:10:15Mm.
00:10:16Too many to count.
00:10:17Go home, Hope.
00:10:18You're understaffed.
00:10:19And you're pulling a 12-hour shift.
00:10:21I don't need a tired doctor.
00:10:22Oh, every doctor is tired.
00:10:24Come on.
00:10:25Look, 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 gonna do when I get home?
00:10:32Hmm.
00:10:33A little bit of online Christmas shopping, glass of red wine, and the Chris Hemsworth movie.
00:10:38Hmm.
00:10:39Do you know what you're gonna do when you get off work?
00:10:40Yeah, I'm gonna pray that my best friend stops giving me lectures.
00:10:43Mm, no, you are definitely gonna be trying to pick up more shifts here.
00:10:46Okay.
00:10:47Well, given the year that I've had, I wanna stay busy.
00:10:51I get that, I get that, but you are no good to anybody if 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.
00:10:59No.
00:11:00No.
00:11:01No.
00:11:02It does not.
00:11:03Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:04Guess who's here?
00:11:05Who?
00:11:06Ted Cooper.
00:11:07Coop?
00:11:08From high school?
00:11:10I think so.
00:11:11We 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.
00:11:17He's a weatherman over in Corning.
00:11:19Hmm.
00:11:20Well, good for him.
00:11:21Yeah.
00:11:22He was always so sweet, you know, in like a nerdy kind of way.
00:11:25That might be because he had a crush on you.
00:11:27Okay.
00:11:28Please.
00:11:29You may not have noticed, but he fell hard for you back in the day.
00:11:33And apparently something fell hard on his head.
00:11:36So, have fun.
00:11:37Ah.
00:11:38You're welcome.
00:11:39Enjoy.
00:11:46Hey, Coop.
00:11:48Coop.
00:11:49Wow.
00:11:50Hi.
00:11:51I didn't know you were back in town.
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:53I 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?
00:12:00A box of Christmas lights to the dome.
00:12:02Oh.
00:12:03Anything broken?
00:12:04Probably not.
00:12:05I have a hard head.
00:12:06I meant the box of lights.
00:12:09Right.
00:12:10So, I hear you're back in town for Christmas with your sister.
00:12:14Have you been asking around about me, Hope?
00:12:17Sydney told me.
00:12:18Ah.
00:12:19Sydney, yeah.
00:12:20You know she gave me stitches a few Christmases ago?
00:12:21She did.
00:12:22I had an unfortunate incident involving a porcelain nativity scene.
00:12:25Ooh.
00:12:26Let's just say now there are only two wise men in Bethlehem.
00:12:29Which one broke?
00:12:31Gold.
00:12:32Hmm.
00:12:33Poor 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.
00:12:40Just gonna have a look here.
00:12:42Any headaches?
00:12:43Dizziness?
00:12:44Nope.
00:12:45No?
00:12:46No?
00:12:47Me?
00:12:48Look straight ahead?
00:12:49Hmm.
00:12:50I never knew you had blue eyes.
00:12:55Well, no lacerations.
00:12:58No concussion.
00:12:59I think you just had your bell rung.
00:13:01Feels appropriate to have my bell rung at Christmas.
00:13:04You 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.
00:13:13Nope, that sounded bad.
00:13:14I brought a college girl's clothes home with me.
00:13:17That sounded worse.
00:13:18You know what?
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, little doctor, patient.
00:13:29Confidentiality.
00:13:30Probably a good idea.
00:13:31Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation while you're here, Coop.
00:13:35Thanks, but it's actually, it's not just a vacation.
00:13:37I'm here doing promos for the Gingerbread Invitational.
00:13:40It's the fundraiser for, well, actually, this...
00:13:43I know.
00:13:44I work here.
00:13:46Right.
00:13:47Yeah, obviously, you know what that is.
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:53Do you give lollipops to all your patients?
00:13:57Mmm, 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.
00:14:12I assume you heard all that?
00:14:14How dare you assume that I was eavesdropping on that unbelievably cute exchange!
00:14:20Come 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.
00:14:57Hmm.
00:14:58Ted!
00:14:59Is 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!
00:15:05Hi.
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.
00:15:12Fine.
00:15:13But please do not show up in this for the promo tonight.
00:15:16Okay, don't worry.
00:15:17I'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 any time 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...
00:15:32Say 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.
00:15:41Duly noted.
00:15:46So 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?
00:15:58That is disgustingly shameless flattery.
00:16:02And I so appreciate it.
00:16:05So, 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.
00:16:18Ears.
00:16:19We barely even know each other.
00:16:21Besides, she was way out of my league.
00:16:23Obviously.
00:16:24You didn't need to agree with me so quickly.
00:16:26We should ask her out while you're in town.
00:16:29Ms. Mittens, are you giving me dating advice?
00:16:31Oh, hello, big boy.
00:16:34Hmm.
00:16:35That's a good one.
00:16:36Yeah.
00:16:37Do you think you could find someone who works here who could help us?
00:16:41Yeah.
00:16:42Uh...
00:16:44What about him?
00:16:46Excuse 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 any time you like.
00:16:54Easy, ma'am.
00:16:55Mm-hmm.
00:16:56Uh, my friend here would like this tree.
00:16:57You 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?
00:17:07Well, I'm doing promos for the Gingerbread Invitational, which you should come to.
00:17:11Mm-hmm.
00:17:12And my sister's having a Christmas costume party, which you should definitely come to.
00:17:15Ooh, costume party.
00:17:16Yeah, everyone's dressing up as our favorite Christmas characters.
00:17:19I'm in.
00:17:20Other than that, not much. Why?
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.
00:17:30Oh.
00:17:31Do you want to join?
00:17:32Absolutely.
00:17:33Are we lost?
00:17:38What?
00:17:39I was following you.
00:17:41Oh.
00:17:42Where's that handsome lumberjack?
00:17:45Hello?
00:17:47Oh, you guys lost?
00:17:50Yeah, afraid so.
00:17:52Follow me.
00:17:53You 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.
00:18:16Are you kidding?
00:18:17I love Christmas.
00:18:18Oh.
00:18:19Maybe I was wrong about the concussion.
00:18:23Follow me.
00:18:30So how's it been being back home?
00:18:32Well, 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.
00:18:43Wow.
00:18:44I'd be lucky to have you.
00:18:47Lightly scratched, but I'd like you to give it a rest.
00:18:50So 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?
00:19:00Uh.
00:19:01So 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.
00:19:23Very observant.
00:19:24Yes, I had my eye poked in a Christmas tree-related accident.
00:19:29Who 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.
00:19:41Lazy 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.
00:20:05Thanks.
00:20:07So, I kind of feel like the eye patch really helped elevate the holiday vibes.
00:20:12I love you, I love you, you're my brother, I love you, I love you, I love you.
00:20:17Love you.
00:20:18You can only get better.
00:20:21Good morning.
00:20:22Good morning.
00:20:23I never pegged you for a kappa girl.
00:20:24Real funny.
00:20:25Have you seen the latest headlines, matey?
00:20:26That's good wordplay.
00:20:27What?
00:20:28I didn't have a choice, Kate.
00:20:29The doctor said I had to wear the eye patch until this morning.
00:20:30Which doctor?
00:20:31Dr. Newberry.
00:20:32Oh, you saw Hope again, huh?
00:20:33That's very interesting.
00:20:34Can I borrow your car?
00:20:35Because I'd love to go get some clothes so I don't have to spend the entire holiday
00:20:39dressed for a sorority rush.
00:20:40Yes, you may.
00:20:41Thanks!
00:20:42Bye!
00:20:43Bye!
00:20:44Bye!
00:20:45Get a costume for my party!
00:20:46Ted!
00:20:47Ted!
00:20:48Ladies, this is Ted Cooper, a student of mine and a famous weatherman.
00:20:49What are you ladies up to?
00:20:50What are you ladies up to?
00:20:51Is there a model?
00:20:52Is there a model?
00:20:53That's very interesting.
00:20:54Can I borrow your car?
00:20:55Because I'd love to go get some clothes so I don't have to spend the entire holiday
00:20:56dressed for a sorority rush.
00:20:57Yes, you may.
00:20:58Thanks!
00:20:59Bye!
00:21:00Bye!
00:21:01Get a costume for my party!
00:21:02Ted!
00:21:03Ted!
00:21:04Ladies, this is Ted Cooper, a student of mine and a famous weatherman.
00:21:17What 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.
00:21:27I lost my suitcase so I have to get some new clothes.
00:21:29All by yourself?
00:21:30Not 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!
00:21:42Thanks!
00:21:43Ooh!
00:21:44It's nice.
00:21:45Ooh!
00:21:46And this.
00:21:47Cassie.
00:21:48Sure.
00:21:49Casual hands on.
00:21:50Ooh!
00:21:51Nice.
00:21:52Okay.
00:21:53I like this.
00:21:54Casual dressed up.
00:21:56Ooh!
00:21:57Okay.
00:21:58Hands.
00:21:59And one more.
00:22:00Why not?
00:22:01Yes!
00:22:02Okay.
00:22:03So 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
00:22:14whispers in my ear, excuse me, are you Ted Cooper?
00:22:18Who could it be?
00:22:19Who could it be?
00:22:20And who do I see standing before me but the mountain of a man?
00:22:24That is Mark Harman.
00:22:26Oh, my God!
00:22:27He smelled incredible.
00:22:29Oh!
00:22:30Hope!
00:22:31Hey!
00:22:32Hi.
00:22:33Hi, Hope.
00:22:34This is, uh, the Lackawanna walking crew.
00:22:36Crew, this is Hope Newberry, Dr. Extraordinaire.
00:22:39Oh, I don't know about that, but this is the one I was telling you about.
00:22:42Hi.
00:22:43Nice to meet you.
00:22:44Are you just, uh, getting off work?
00:22:46I am.
00:22:47Yeah, just used my last brain cell, was gonna get a coffee, and then bury my face in a plate
00:22:52of carbs, hopefully.
00:22:54I did hear there's a burger deal down the road at the Fox and Hounds pub.
00:22:59Two for one.
00:23:00With all-you-can-eat fries.
00:23:02Oh.
00:23:03Well, you had me at all-you-can-eat.
00:23:08You gonna eat both those burgers yourself?
00:23:11Uh, well, I could, but I shouldn't.
00:23:16I'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.
00:23:25Ladies, it's been a delight.
00:23:28I will see you soon.
00:23:31You got that?
00:23:32Yeah, I think I do.
00:23:33Can 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.
00:23:44But I was wondering if your fan club always dressed like retired break dancers.
00:23:49That'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.
00:23:58After you.
00:24:03Hey, Ted Cooper!
00:24:05What's up, everybody?
00:24:06Do you want to grab us a table and get us some burgers?
00:24:10I can do that, yeah.
00:24:12Okay, great.
00:24:13What would you like to drink?
00:24:14Um, Christmas ale.
00:24:16Christmas ale?
00:24:17Christmas ale.
00:24:18I like it.
00:24:19Hey, can I get two Christmas ale spots?
00:24:22I'm singing Christmas songs.
00:24:25And I've been waiting patiently all year.
00:24:34And now that it's here.
00:24:38What I can't believe is that every single person here knew your name.
00:24:43You're like, you're like that guy.
00:24:46The Norm from Cheers.
00:24:47That's who you are.
00:24:48The Norm?
00:24:49Oh my gosh, wow.
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.
00:24:56And I live here now.
00:24:58You're right.
00:24:59Kinda sounds like a you issue.
00:25:01Does it?
00:25:02No, I'm kidding.
00:25:03I come here all the time whenever I'm back in town.
00:25:05So.
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?
00:25:14Mm-hmm.
00:25:15Well, that sounds like the universe aligning for you.
00:25:19Yeah.
00:25:20I don't know.
00:25:21Why?
00:25:22What?
00:25:23Why not?
00:25:24My producer in Corning, this guy Jerry, he gave me an opportunity right out of grad school
00:25:27when literally no one else would.
00:25:29Hmm.
00:25:30So I kinda feel like I owe my career to him.
00:25:33And Corning itself has been great to me, so.
00:25:36But is Corning home?
00:25:38No, it is not.
00:25:40I bet you if you asked every single person in this bar, they'd tell you to take the job
00:25:46in Buffalo.
00:25:47As would I.
00:25:48You would?
00:25:49Yeah.
00:25:50You might find this hard to understand given you know every single person on a first-name
00:25:54basis within a five-mile radius.
00:25:56Oh, thank you very much.
00:25:57I bet I haven't had a lot of time to-
00:26:00...do much socializing, so.
00:26:02Be nice to see a friendly face.
00:26:07Wow.
00:26:08Ruth was right.
00:26:09These burgers do look amazing.
00:26:10Ooh.
00:26:11What?
00:26:12What's wrong?
00:26:13Oh, nothing.
00:26:14It's not a big deal.
00:26:15I had just asked for no mayo and there's mayo.
00:26:17Hmm.
00:26:18Well, I'm sure they can fix it for you.
00:26:19No, no, no.
00:26:20It's-it's fine.
00:26:21The, um, the server is the owner's kid.
00:26:22I don't wanna get her in trouble.
00:26:23It's all good.
00:26:24Coop, you've been raving about these burgers.
00:26:26Everybody here loves you.
00:26:27I'm sure they'd love to fix it for you.
00:26:29It'd be no problem.
00:26:30Oh, it's fine.
00:26:31Really.
00:26:32I am having far too good a time to let a little mayo bring me down.
00:26:35Well, let's see it.
00:26:36Very mayo forward.
00:26:43Uh, hey, whatever happened to Matt Croner?
00:26:54Oh.
00:26:55We're gonna bring up old high school exes, are we?
00:26:59Boy!
00:27:00Throwing you off your game is about the only chance I have.
00:27:02I don't think you can do that.
00:27:04Uh, we broke up in college.
00:27:07Oh, no.
00:27:08I was really rooting for you guys.
00:27:10Why'd you break up?
00:27:11Oh, I don't know.
00:27:13He would never open up.
00:27:16I don't know.
00:27:17I keep ending up in these relationships with guys that, you know, don't fight for it.
00:27:22I mean, I get it.
00:27:23I work long hours and that's hard, but I still, I-
00:27:27You don't have to tell me.
00:27:28It'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, I mean, you have the same, you know, carefree disposition as you did in class.
00:27:48Okay.
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:50Great recovery.
00:27:51I can go with that.
00:27:52Yeah.
00:27:53Well, what about you?
00:27:54You look the same.
00:27:55Albeit with fewer emo punk t-shirts.
00:27:57True.
00:27:58Uh, but I feel different.
00:28:00How so?
00:28:01Give me the Crash Course in Hope.
00:28:04Five things that are different about you now from when you were in high school.
00:28:07Oh, five things.
00:28:08Mm-hmm.
00:28:09Feel free to let it like throw you off your game too.
00:28:10Right.
00:28:11Yeah.
00:28:12Okay.
00:28:13Five things that are different about Hope.
00:28:14Well, for one, I, I speak three different languages now.
00:28:17Wow.
00:28:18Okay.
00:28:19Oh, I make my own ramen.
00:28:20Mm-hmm.
00:28:21And I really enjoy audio books of romance novels.
00:28:24What kind of, uh, spice level we talking here?
00:28:27Well, normally I stick to a PG-13, but recently I have-
00:28:30I, I meant ramen.
00:28:32Okay.
00:28:33Okay.
00:28:34I am a sucker for an escape room, and I played a lot of darts in med school.
00:28:43Did you see that?
00:28:44Yeah.
00:28:45Really feel like Hope from high school would have let me win one.
00:28:47I'm kind of missing her right now.
00:28:51Wow.
00:28:52Guess time flies when you're having fun.
00:28:54It does.
00:28:56Hey, I was thinking, since, you know, you're covering the fundraiser, um,
00:29:02would you like to come by the hospital tomorrow and I can walk you through what you're raising money for?
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:09Yeah, that would be great.
00:29:10Okay.
00:29:11It's a, uh, it's a, uh, an appointment.

01:09:54leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet yeah they didn't break up he died because they
01:09:59misunderstood how big that door really was don't fall into the same trap as everyone else
