00:00:02Good 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,
00:00:11bringing 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
00:00:42to 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.
00:00:57You 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
00:01:16who 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,
00:01:22put 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?
00:01:27And didn't you, the year before that, get a disease so rare that they actually named it after you?
00:01:36Yes, yes I did. Symptoms include undeniable charisma and effortless charm.
00:01:41All kidding aside, if you suspect you have Ted Cooperitis, 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
00:01:56celebrating,
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. And speaking of farms, coming up, an unlikely friendship
00:02:18between a horse and a cat that you have to see to believe. And we're clear.
00:02:25Love 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?
00:02:53Hey, 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
00:02:59on 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. Yeah? Is that why you took a shot on me?
00:03:09You know what? It doesn't matter. The fact is, you did. When no one else would. And I appreciate you
00:03:15for it.
00:03:15Well, my intentions weren't as pure as they might seem. Viewers also like tuning in around Christmas to see what
00:03:20could go terribly wrong.
00:03:21Yeah, yeah. I still maintain that Santa Does the Weather would have been a great segment had that chimney been
00:03:27a little wider.
00:03:28Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Hey, 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.
00:03:36No? There's a lot to think about. I 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, hey. Whoa, what's going on here?
00:03:46Flip that back over.
00:03:48What is this?
00:03:51Everyone's taking bets on what's gonna happen to you this Christmas.
00:03:54What?
00:03:55Hmm.
00:03:58This is dark, guys. Come on. Impaled by a reindeer antler?
00:04:03What?
00:04:03Who took that bet?
00:04:06Janice?
00:04:07Ken gave me 500 to one. 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?
00:04:17Fifty-one people are rooting for me to choke on a chunk of fruitcake. Joke's on you clowns. I don't
00:04:22like fruitcake.
00:04:23Also, not funny to root for me going to jail. I would do horribly in jail.
00:04:27You know what? None of this matters anyways.
00:04:29Because this year, ha-ha, this is the year that old Ted Cooper's Christmas bad luck finally turns around.
00:04:36Losing a lot of money, folks.
00:04:41You smell great.
00:04:43I know.
00:05:04Oh.
00:05:05Oh, what?
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.
00:05:39Going home.
00:05:39Not in that order.
00:05:40What?
00:05:40Kate?
00:05:41No.
00:05:41That's boring.
00:05:42I just got into town.
00:05:43Let's go have a drink.
00:05:43Ted.
00:05:44Kate.
00:05:47We can have one drink, a small one, maybe 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 and a brand new toothbrush upstairs because I know you always forget
00:06:11everything.
00:06:11You 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 as that girl on the bus.
00:06:25Should I be worried about you covering the fundraiser with everything that happens to
00:06:29you every Christmas?
00:06:31What?
00:06:32No.
00:06:32This isn't a setback.
00:06:33This is an opportunity to try out some new looks.
00:06:37I mean, oof.
00:06:39Oh, come on.
00:06:41Sugar.
00:06:42What?
00:06:43These might actually fit.
00:06:45Wow.
00:06:52Good morning.
00:06:53Hey.
00:06:54Wow.
00:06:55That is a very pink sweater.
00:06:57That girl had good taste, right?
00:06:59Mm-hmm.
00:06:59Why do you do it up?
00:07:01I am making us breakfast.
00:07:03Since 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.
00:07:11Uh, 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?
00:07:19I am not going anywhere until you try that omelette.
00:07:22Oh, okay.
00:07:26Mm.
00:07:27Uh-huh.
00:07:28Fluffy and delicious.
00:07:30Yeah.
00:07:30The secret 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.
00:07:45You're wearing a pink crop sweater.
00:07:47Yeah.
00:07:56Stay.
00:07:58Good box.
00:07:59Nope.
00:08:00Stay.
00:08:01Stay.
00:08:03There you go.
00:08:07Hi, Ted.
00:08:09This is Max at WDTV.
00:08:10Checking in on our job offer.
00:08:12Give us a call and no rush.
00:08:14Merry Christmas.
00:08:30Unstoppable.
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 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?
00:08:57Ms. Mittens?
00:08:58What happened to you?
00:09:00A box of Christmas lights.
00:09:01You?
00:09:02Hot cookie chic.
00:09:04Oof.
00:09:04Are you still teaching science?
00:09:06Hmm?
00:09:07Retired.
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, but 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 in the chimney at Christmas.
00:09:31Hilarious.
00:09:31Mm-hmm.
00:09:32Hilarious.
00:09:33Yeah, well, 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?
00:09:41Oh, why, is she here?
00:09:46Still got it.
00:09:47Ms. Mittens?
00:09:48Okay, amazing.
00:09:49Take care.
00:09:50Ted, they're ready.
00:09:52Oh, great.
00:09:55Good luck.
00:09:55Here's your ice pack.
00:09:56Thanks.
00:10:01Okay, next time let's just make sure that we check the expiration date on 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 and 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 gonna do when I get home?
00:10:32Hmm.
00:10:32A 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.
00:10:46Well, given the year that I've had, I wanna stay busy.
00:10:51I get that.
00:10:52I get that.
00:10:52But 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.
00:11:00No.
00:11:00No, it does not.
00:11:01Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:11:03Guess who's here?
00:11:05Who?
00:11:05Ted Cooper.
00:11:07Coop?
00:11:09From 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.
00:11:16He's a weatherman over in Corning.
00:11:18Hmm.
00:11:19Well, good for him.
00:11:20Yeah.
00:11:21He was always so sweet, you know, in like a nerdy kind of way.
00:11:24Well, that might be because he had a crush on you.
00:11:27Okay, please.
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.
00:11:35So, have fun.
00:11:37Ah.
00:11:37You're welcome.
00:11:38Enjoy.
00:11:46Hey, 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.
00:11:54You 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.
00:12:03Anything broken?
00:12:04Probably not.
00:12:05I 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 for Christmas with your sister.
00:12:14Have you been asking around about me, Hope?
00:12:17Sydney told me.
00:12:18Ah.
00:12:18Sydney.
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 involving a porcelain nativity scene.
00:12:26Ooh.
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.
00:12:32Poor 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?
00:12:46Me?
00:12:46Look straight ahead.
00:12:48Hmm.
00:12:49I never knew you had blue eyes.
00:12:55Well.
00:12:56No lacerations.
00:12:57No concussion.
00:12:58I think you just had your bell rung.
00:13:01Feels 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.
00:13:12That 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.
00:13:28Patient.
00:13:29Confidentiality.
00:13:30Probably a good idea.
00:13:30Well, I hope you enjoy your vacation while you're here, Coop.
00:13:35Thanks.
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...
00:13:44work here.
00:13:45Right.
00:13:46Yeah, obviously.
00:13:47You know what that is.
00:13:52Oh.
00:13:55Do you give lollipops to all your patients?
00:13:57Only the really brave ones.
00:14:00I was really brave, wasn't I?
00:14:02Mm-hmm.
00:14:05Okay.
00:14:06We'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!
00:14:21Come 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.
00:14:44And 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.
00:14:51She 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!
00:15:00Is 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. I 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. I'll be there. I'm gonna look great.
00:15:19Okay.
00:15:20Bye, Miss Mittens!
00:15:21Hey, Ruth. How'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...
00:15:32Say no more. I would be honored.
00:15:34You are a prince.
00:15:37Would you like me to drive?
00:15:39I'm hurt, Ted. I'm not blind.
00:15:42Duly noted.
00:15:48So 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, and I so appreciate it.
00:16:05So, Hope Newberry, huh?
00:16:08Hope Newberry? Blast 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.
00:16:20We barely even knew 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.
00:16:27We 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. That'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.
00:16:43Uh...
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 any time you like.
00:16:54Easy, ma'am.
00:16:55Uh, my friend here would like this tree.
00:16:57Do 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 our favorite Christmas characters.
00:17:18I'm in.
00:17:19Other 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.
00:17:30Do you want to join?
00:17:31Absolutely.
00:17:37Are we lost?
00:17:38What?
00:17:39I was following you.
00:17:41Oh.
00:17:42Where's that handsome lumberjack?
00:17:45Hello?
00:17:48Oh.
00:17:48You guys lost?
00:17:50Yeah, afraid so.
00:17:52Follow me.
00:17:53Oh!
00:17:57You 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.
00:18:17You kidding?
00:18:17I love Christmas.
00:18:19Oh.
00:18:20Maybe I was wrong about the concussion.
00:18:23Follow me.
00:18:30So 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
00:18:43day.
00:18:43Oh.
00:18:44I'd be lucky to have you.
00:18:48Lightly 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?
00:19:02Uh.
00:19:04So be sure to head on down to Lackawanna for the Gingerbread Invitational and help raise money for a great
00:19:09cause.
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.
00:19:19I just noticed your little fashion accessory there.
00:19:24Very observant.
00:19:25Yes, I had my eye poked in a Christmas tree-related accident.
00:19:29Who here had eye poked in Christmas-related accident?
00:19:35Well, 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.
00:19:54So, when making your holiday plans, please don't turn a blind eye to the Lackawanna Gingerbread Invitational.
00:20:02And we're clear?
00:20:04Alright.
00:20:06Thanks.
00:20:08So, I kinda 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.
00:20:16I love you.
00:20:17You can only get better.
00:20:26Morning.
00:20:27Morning.
00:20:29Oh, I never pegged you for a cap, a girl.
00:20:31Real funny.
00:20:31Have you seen the latest headlines, matey?
00:20:36That'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 eye patch till this morning.
00:20:42Which doctor?
00:20:44Dr. Newberry.
00:20:45Oh.
00:20:46You saw Hope again, huh?
00:20:48That's very interesting.
00:20:50Can I borrow your car?
00:20:50Cause I'd love to go get some clothes so I don't have to spend the entire holiday dressed for Sorority
00:20:53Rush.
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.
00:21:17What 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.
00:21:26I 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!
00:21:42Thanks!
00:21:43Ooh!
00:21:44Thanks.
00:21:45Ooh!
00:21:46And this.
00:21:47Cassie.
00:21:47Sure.
00:21:49Casual, handsome.
00:21:50Ooh!
00:21:51Nice.
00:21:52Okay.
00:21:53I like this.
00:21:54Casual dressed up.
00:21:56Oh!
00:21:57Okay.
00:21:58Yes.
00:21:59And one more.
00:22:00Why not?
00:22:01Yes!
00:22:03Okay.
00:22:05So I hear that an actor's coming by the station that day, but I don't know what's going
00:22:08like, 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,
00:22:13almost whispers 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 but the mountain of a man?
00:22:24That is Mark Harmon.
00:22:27Oh, 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.
00:22:39Oh, 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
00:22:51a plate of carbs, hopefully.
00:22:54I did hear there's a burger deal down the road at the Fox & Hounds pub.
00:22:59Two for one, with all-you-can-eat fries.
00:23:02Oh.
00:23:03Well, you had me at all-you-can-eat.
00:23:07You gonna eat both those burgers yourself?
00:23:11Uh, well, I could, but I shouldn't.
00:23:15I'm not-I'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.
00:23:26Ladies, 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.
00:23:34Yeah, you might need that.
00:23:38Got all your stuff?
00:23:40Wow.
00:23:41Judgey McJudger stuff?
00:23:42No.
00:23:43Judgment.
00:23:43No.
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.
00:23:57After you.
00:24:03Hey, Ted Cooper!
00:24:05What's up, everybody?
00:24:06Do you want to grab us a table and I'll get us some burgers?
00:24:10I can do that.
00:24:11Yeah.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12Great.
00:24:12What would you like to drink?
00:24:15Um...
00:24:16Christmas ale.
00:24:16Christmas ale.
00:24:17I like it.
00:24:19Hey, can I get two Christmas ales, please?
00:24:21Can I get two Christmas ales?
00:24:21Can I get two Christmas ales?
00:24:26Can I get two Christmas ales?
00:24:48Unnormal. Oh, my gosh. Wow.
00:24:51Well, 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. I come here all the time whenever I'm back in town.
00:25:06Have you ever thought about moving back?
00:25:08Funnily enough, I just got a job offer in Buffalo.
00:25:12During the weather?
00:25:13Mm-hmm.
00:25:14Well, that sounds like the universe aligning for you.
00:25:18Yeah. I don't know.
00:25:21Why? What? Why not?
00:25:22My producer in Corning, this guy Jerry, he gave me an opportunity right out of grad school when literally no
00:25:28one 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...
00:25:36But 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 in
00:25:46Buffalo.
00:25:46As would I.
00:25:47You would?
00:25:48Yeah.
00:25:49You might find this hard to understand, given you know every single person on a first-name basis within a
00:25:54five-mile radius.
00:25:56Oh, thank you very much.
00:25:57But I haven't had a lot of time to...
00:26:00...do much socializing, so be nice to see a friendly face.
00:26:07Wow, Ruth was right. These burgers do look amazing.
00:26:10Ooh.
00:26:11What? What's wrong?
00:26:13Oh, nothing. It's not a big deal. I had just asked for no mayo, and there's mayo.
00:26:17Hmm. Well, I'm sure they can fix it for you.
00:26:19No, no, no. It's fine. The server is the owner's kid. I don't want to get her in trouble. It's
00:26:24all good.
00:26:24Coop, you've been raving about these burgers. Everybody here loves you. I'm sure they'd love to fix it for you.
00:26:29It'd be no problem.
00:26:29Oh, it's fine. Really. I am having far too good a time to let a little mayo bring me down.
00:26:34Well, let's see it.
00:26:44Very mayo forward.
00:26:52Hey, whatever happened to Matt Croner?
00:26:55Oh, we're going to bring up old high school exes, are we?
00:27:00Throwing you off your game is about the only chance I have.
00:27:02I don't think he can do that.
00:27:05Uh, we broke up in college.
00:27:07Oh, no. I was really rooting for you guys.
00:27:10Why'd you break up?
00:27:11Oh, I don't know. He would never open up.
00:27:16I don't know. I keep ending up in these relationships with guys that, you know, don't fight for it.
00:27:22I mean, I get it. I work long hours and that's hard, but I still, I...
00:27:27You don't have to tell me. It's the reason I'm single, too.
00:27:30Women cannot handle the hustle and grind of dating a meteorologist.
00:27:37You know, you haven't changed a bit from high school.
00:27:40That bad, huh?
00:27:41Not at all. I just, I mean, you have the same, you know, carefree disposition as you did in class.
00:27:49Okay. Yeah. Great recovery. I can go with that. Yeah.
00:27:51Well, what about you? You look the same, albeit with fewer emo punk t-shirts.
00:27:56True. Uh, 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.
00:28:08Feel free to let it, like, throw you off your game, too.
00:28:10Right, yeah. Okay. Five things that are different about Hope.
00:28:13Well, for one, I, I speak three different languages now.
00:28:17Wow. Okay.
00:28:18Oh, I make my own ramen, and I really enjoy audiobooks of romance novels.
00:28:25What kind of, uh, spice level are we talking here?
00:28:27Well, normally I stick to a PG-13, but recently I have...
00:28:30I, I meant ramen.
00:28:33Okay, I am a sucker for an escape room, and...
00:28:39I played a lot of darts in med school. Did you see that?
00:28:44Yeah. Really feel like Hope from high school would have let me win one.
00:28:47I'm kind of missing her right now.
00:28:50Wow.
00:28:52Guess time flies, and you're having fun.
00:28:54It does.
00:28:56Hey, I was thinking, since, you know, you're covering the fundraiser,
00:29:01um, would you like to come by the hospital tomorrow, and I can walk you through what you're raising money
00:29:07for?
00:29:08Yeah. Yeah, that would be great.
00:29:09Okay.
00:29:10It's a, uh, it's a, uh, an appointment.
00:29:15It's an appointment.
00:29:17Yeah.
00:29:18Sounds good.
00:29:20Good night, Ted.
00:29:21Good night, Hope.
00:29:23Good night, Hope.
00:29:26Good night, Hope.
00:29:46Good night, Hope.
00:29:49Okay.
00:29:51Yep.
00:29:53There we go.
00:29:58Ricky.
00:30:00Where are you?
00:30:03Oh, I found you.
00:30:04There you are.
00:30:07Hey, fellas.
00:30:09No, I don't want to press charges.
00:30:12He's my brother.
00:30:13Sorry, ma'am. We couldn't confirm he was family.
00:30:15A lot of Coopers out there?
00:30:16Okay.
00:30:18I wonder how the big house has changed him.
00:30:21We'll bring him right out.
00:30:23None other than national treasure himself, Mark Harmon.
00:30:27Can you believe that?
00:30:29Dude even smelled handsome.
00:30:30I don't know how that's possible.
00:30:32Ooh, nice PJs.
00:30:36Brave.
00:30:38That's not funny.
00:30:39Merry Christmas, everybody.
00:30:41Merry Christmas, Ted.
00:30:42Merry Christmas, Ted.
00:30:44It's hard enough being the favorite, but now I have the pleasure of telling dad his baby boy got arrested.
00:30:49Has the family newsletter gone out yet?
00:30:50You're the worst.
00:30:51And also the best.
00:30:52Thanks for bailing me out.
00:30:55All I'm saying is when it comes to inheritance, they take things like a criminal record into account.
00:31:00Well, by that standard, you should probably fire me from promoting the Invitational.
00:31:04You have a good point.
00:31:05I mean, I did give the promos to all of my events to the unluckiest guy in the world.
00:31:10What if I didn't pick up my phone?
00:31:11Yeah, but you did.
00:31:12And outside of some light incarceration, I had a great day.
00:31:14I hung out with Ruth and her walking crew.
00:31:16I got a bunch of clothes.
00:31:17I had dinner with Hope.
00:31:19You went out with Hope?
00:31:20Well, I didn't.
00:31:21No, no.
00:31:22I didn't go out with Hope.
00:31:24Like, I was with Hope and we were out.
00:31:28Cool your jets.
00:31:29All right, it was a friendly hang.
00:31:30But 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.
00:31:35Huh.
00:31:36You know who else could have told you about the children's wing?
00:31:38Hmm.
00:31:38Your sister, the fundraising coordinator.
00:31:41Yeah, but she's just so darn busy.
00:31:43Good night.
00:31:44Oh, by the way, the new studio called while you were in jail.
00:31:47They want to talk logistics about the new promo.
00:31:50What did you tell them?
00:31:54Uh, who had Ted goes to jail?
00:32:06So, Coop.
00:32:07Mm-hmm.
00:32:08He's not really your type.
00:32:10Oh, yeah?
00:32:11Yeah.
00:32:11What's my type?
00:32:13Nice car.
00:32:13Well-groom beard.
00:32:15Emotionally unavailable.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:18Complete opposite of my type.
00:32:20Which is?
00:32:21Ooh, tall.
00:32:22Muscular.
00:32:23Really into Taylor Swift.
00:32:24Uh-huh.
00:32:25Worships me.
00:32:26Mm.
00:32:27I have not met him yet, sure, but he's out there.
00:32:31Yeah.
00:32:32I believe it.
00:32:34Hey.
00:32:34Oh, look at that.
00:32:35It's our hospital's most valuable customer.
00:32:37What can I say?
00:32:37I love to support local business.
00:32:39Mm-hmm.
00:32:40All right.
00:32:40Well, I'm going to go do my job, so see you, Coop.
00:32:42Bye, Sid.
00:32:43Good to see you again.
00:32:44Ready for the tour?
00:32:46Oh, yeah.
00:32:47There's going to be 20 more rooms, all private.
00:32:49Um, two more operating rooms, and a garden on the roof.
00:32:54On the roof?
00:32:54Yeah.
00:32:55Wow.
00:32:56Oh.
00:32:57Hospitals can be a scary place for kids.
00:33:00Well, everyone, really.
00:33:02Let me try to make it as comfortable as possible.
00:33:06Hi.
00:33:07Really wanted to come and say thank you.
00:33:09Oh, you're welcome.
00:33:11ASL?
00:33:12My father was deaf.
00:33:14Oh.
00:33:14Amelia made gingerbread cookies.
00:33:23Mm, Amelia.
00:33:25Delicious.
00:33:30Just wondering if you'd like to try one.
00:33:32Absolutely.
00:33:33I would love to.
00:33:34Mm.
00:33:37Mm.
00:33:39Mm.
00:33:40Mm.
00:33:41Mm.
00:33:42Mm.
00:33:45Is that peanut butter?
00:33:48Yes.
00:33:49It's our secret ingredient.
00:33:51Is it?
00:33:52Mm.
00:33:53Mm.
00:33:58Wow.
00:33:58That is, that is very, very good.
00:34:04Mm.
00:34:09Thanks for everything, Hope.
00:34:10I know I didn't get a chance earlier to say, but, uh, I'm really sorry to hear about the
00:34:14passing of your dad.
00:34:15If you ever need anything, please let Ron and I know, okay?
00:34:17I will.
00:34:18Merry Christmas.
00:34:19Merry Christmas.
00:34:21Hope, I'm so sorry.
00:34:23I didn't know about your dad.
00:34:24Oh, well, I didn't talk about it.
00:34:27I don't talk about it.
00:34:29It's why I came back to Lackawanna.
00:34:32Yeah.
00:34:33I knew he wasn't doing so well.
00:34:35So he, um, he died three months ago.
00:34:39He, you okay?
00:34:40No, uh, I'm so sorry about all that.
00:34:41Do you have an EpiPen?
00:34:42Are you allergic to peanut butter?
00:34:44Yes, massively.
00:34:45Give me the cookie.
00:34:48Mm.
00:34:50Doesn't hurt.
00:34:51Your face is swelling.
00:34:54Why would you eat the cookie?
00:34:56Okay, first of all, Hope, who puts peanut butter in a gingerbread cookie?
00:35:01No one.
00:35:02That's who.
00:35:02Also, what am I going to do?
00:35:03Spit it out?
00:35:04Really?
00:35:04Did you see her?
00:35:05Big doe eyes?
00:35:06Arm and a little cast?
00:35:07Not a chance.
00:35:10Ted.
00:35:13I was going to go home and finally decorate, but now we're going to have to keep you under
00:35:19close observation.
00:35:21Oh, do you?
00:35:23No, we actually do.
00:35:25It's, it's protocol.
00:35:26Oh, it's protocol.
00:35:27Yep.
00:35:27Understood.
00:35:28Uh, well, I could help you.
00:35:31Hmm.
00:35:34Okay.
00:35:35Start with this guy at the top.
00:35:41Feeding, feeding, feeding.
00:35:47Let's go decorate a tree.
00:35:49Nothing I wouldn't do.
00:35:51Please make my wish come true.
00:35:53Got 99 presents, but I only want you.
00:35:5899 presents, but I only want you.
00:36:12What do I smell?
00:36:13Is that frosting and anxiety?
00:36:15The costume party is tonight, and I have 7,000 things I need to do.
00:36:19How can I help?
00:36:19I'm so glad you asked.
00:36:21You can call Hope and invite her to the party.
00:36:23She wants you to ask her out.
00:36:25How do you know?
00:36:26Because she likes you.
00:36:27You think so?
00:36:28Oh, I am pretty likable.
00:36:30Call her.
00:36:33Ouch.
00:36:54That was a long conversation.
00:36:56Hmm?
00:36:57Yeah.
00:36:58Ooh.
00:36:58She is, uh, quite the chatterbox.
00:37:00She said she's, um, gonna see what time she gets off work and try to cum.
00:37:04What's wrong?
00:37:06Nothing's wrong.
00:37:07You're sweating.
00:37:10Warm.
00:37:11It's 30 degrees out.
00:37:12I'm an athlete, Kate.
00:37:13I run hot.
00:37:19I'm an athlete, Kate, so I run hot.
00:37:22Shady, shady, brother.
00:37:24Not voicemail, not voicemail, not voicemail.
00:37:26Oh.
00:37:28Hey, what's up, Hope?
00:37:30It's Ted Cooper from high school.
00:37:33And earlier this week.
00:37:35And your dreams.
00:37:36Nope.
00:37:38Hey, what's up, Ted?
00:37:39It's Hope.
00:37:40Nope.
00:37:41Come on.
00:37:41Be a human.
00:37:42No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:37:43What's up, girl?
00:37:45It's your boy, TC.
00:37:46Ew.
00:37:47No, no.
00:37:48You got this.
00:37:49You got this.
00:37:49Easy breezy.
00:37:50Easy breezy.
00:37:54Hey, what's up?
00:37:57Oh, no.
00:37:58Come on.
00:38:00Ugh.
00:38:09Hi, Hope.
00:38:10This is Kate Cooper.
00:38:11Snow White.
00:38:13Never had so much fun on ride.
00:38:17Rockin' on Christmas Day.
00:38:19Lie, lie.
00:38:20You never seen it done this way, right?
00:38:23Hey.
00:38:27Hey, wow.
00:38:29Awesome Scrooge costume.
00:38:31Costume, you say?
00:38:34I worked on that the whole way here.
00:38:37I love that you arrived in character.
00:38:39Uh, what, 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.
00:38:48Okay.
00:38:49Well, that's, that's great.
00:38:50No, it's just that the, the party doesn't start for another hour.
00:38:52Oh, uh, I thought you said six.
00:38:56Huh?
00:38:57I did?
00:38:58Oh, I, I, 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.
00:39:16I regret the accent.
00:39:18No, I, 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, go, go, go.
00:39:28Ow, ow.
00:39:29What?
00:39:30What are you doing?
00:39:31You didn't invite her to party.
00:39:32How do you know that?
00:39:33Because I saw the ring footage of you leaving a thousand messages.
00:39:36That is an invasion of privacy.
00:39:38You picked the one place on the entire property.
00:39:40That's right in front of the camera.
00:39:42And when 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.
00:40:04I love you too.
00:40:05Get out there.
00:40:11Hey.
00:40:11Hey.
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.
00:40:20Well, tell him hi.
00:40:21Not that he'll remember me.
00:40:24Who couldn't 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.
00:40:36I'll do what it takes to touch the sky.
00:40:41Kelly Clarkson.
00:40:42I'm really 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?
00:40:54Are you kidding?
00:40:55From Lord of the Rings?
00:40:57Brave, warrior, dwarf, loyal, stubborn.
00:41:00What?
00:41:00Hmm.
00:41:00I could see that.
00:41:02Okay.
00:41:03Nice burn.
00:41:05All right.
00:41:06Hope Newbury.
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.
00:41:31Aww.
00:41:33Look at these cuties.
00:41:34Still how we are to this day.
00:41:36Us against the world.
00:41:37You two seem close.
00:41:39Yeah, we are.
00:41:40Kate kind of pulled double duty as big sister and parent.
00:41:44Oh.
00:41:44Our 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.
00:41:59You were cute in high school.
00:42:05I was?
00:42:08I mean, I think we might have gotten along,
00:42:12given you drew a big red heart around my face.
00:42:16Is that what that is?
00:42:19Yeah, 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?
00:42:27I loved AV club and science fair.
00:42:30It literally never occurred to me
00:42:32that a girl like you would be into a guy like me.
00:42:35Mm-hmm.
00:42:41Well, I...
00:42:41I would have...
00:42:46Really wishing we'd had this conversation when we were 18.
00:42:49Mm-hmm.
00:42:54Are you still?
00:42:57Still what?
00:42:59Into guys who love AV club and science fair?
00:43:07Ted, can you get that?
00:43:09Oh, yeah.
00:43:11Let me grab my hat.
00:43:20Oh, Jacob Marley.
00:43:23Hi, everybody.
00:43:24Come on in.
00:43:25Drinks and snacks in the back.
00:43:27Dance floor is in the barn.
00:43:28Howdy, ladies, Trithan.
00:43:32Hi.
00:43:32Okay.
00:43:33Did you all drive in the same car?
00:43:35I'm...
00:43:36Wow.
00:43:36Party bus.
00:43:37Here you go.
00:43:37Here you go.
00:43:38Here you go.
00:43:39Oh, my God.
00:43:41I'm feeling the best name.
00:43:55Now this is a party.
00:43:57See what I mean, girl?
00:44:01Rook!
00:44:03Hey, wow.
00:44:04You look great.
00:44:05You look pretty cool yourself.
00:44:07Thanks.
00:44:08Yeah.
00:44:09Ooh.
00:44:10Hee-hee.
00:44:11Rook!
00:44:12What is it like being the big sister to New York's most likable man?
00:44:17Exhausting.
00:44:22Is he always like this?
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.
00:44:32I think I could use a little more of that in my life.
00:44:38Okay.
00:44:40Hi.
00:44:41Check out Tiny Tim tearing up the dance floor.
00:44:43No, we were just singing.
00:44:47Who even is he doing?
00:44:48Where is he from?
00:44:50He's from my office.
00:44:54Losing his dick.
00:44:55Oh, my gosh.
00:44:56Oh, Tim.
00:44:57I don't think he needs that much.
00:45:00Nice and done.
00:45:05All right, you two, it's time for you to get out on the dance floor and show Tim how it's
00:45:10done.
00:45:10I can't, I cannot.
00:45:11You've got to show Tim how it's done.
00:45:13You show Tim how it's done.
00:45:22Mm-hmm.
00:45:24Watch, I go low with it, too.
00:45:26I go real low.
00:45:27And then I come back up.
00:45:28Yeah.
00:45:29Turn it to a slow song.
00:45:30Turn it to a slow song.
00:45:32Turn it to a slow song.
00:45:41Shall we?
00:45:48This your first time dancing with a snowman?
00:45:51It is, yes.
00:45:53How is it going so far?
00:45:57Is this your first time dancing with a Scrooge?
00:45:59Weirdly enough, no.
00:46:03Get so long, long, long, long walking the streets of heaven.
00:46:23I had a really nice time tonight.
00:46:27Yeah, me too.
00:46:29Hey.
00:46:31I was thinking, um,
00:46:34if...
00:46:36that, um...
00:46:40Never mind.
00:46:41I bet you probably
00:46:44gotta get going.
00:46:46Well, I don't...
00:46:47I don't have to go this...
00:46:49like, this very second.
00:46:51I mean, if there's...
00:46:53I was just...
00:46:54Oh, you go.
00:46:55No, sorry.
00:46:56It, uh...
00:46:57It's nothing.
00:46:58I can't wait.
00:47:00You sure?
00:47:03Yeah.
00:47:05Okay.
00:47:19Night, Dad.
00:47:20Night, Hope.
00:47:32Night, Hope.
00:47:33Night, Hope.

00:47:51Hi, hi, I meant to ask you something at the party, but I
00:47:58chickened out
00:48:13That was the extent of my ASLs
00:48:17But yes, yes, that was
00:48:22That was a yes
00:48:26Okay, so far we have a intimate trip to the scrapbooking store and Salisbury Steak and Bingo Night
00:48:31Do 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
00:48:42You just gave me an idea
00:48:52Hi
00:48:52Hi, wow, you clean up nicely
00:48:56Oh, I just went with Christmas theme, you look nice too
00:49:03Thanks, you ready?
00:49:05Yeah, what are we doing?
00:49:07I thought we'd have a little fancy dinner at Chez Henry
00:49:09Chez Henry?
00:49:11Mm-hmm
00:49:11Oh, I should change
00:49:13No, I'm just kidding with you
00:49:14You're actually perfectly dressed for what we're gonna do
00:49:17Okay
00:49:17You're gonna love it
00:49:18Oh, ready
00:49:20Yep, okay
00:49:23You're comfortable around horses, right?
00:49:26You're, you'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, am an elf
00:50:01Sorry, I just got back to town
00:50:03I was partying with my elf buddies all night
00:50:06Didn'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
00:50:15But 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
00:50:23And use Christmas magic to get the toy into this child's living room before morning
00:50:29You have an hour
00:50:30You need help?
00:50:31Just say, Brendan, I need help
00:50:33And I can give you a hint
00:50:35From the North Pole
00:50:36Finally, Santa has a
00:50:38No phones in the workshop policy
00:50:40So we ask that you leave him here
00:50:44Santa's policy
00:50:47The smartwatch
00:50:48And the smartwatch
00:50:50Yeah
00:50:50Now Santa is a stickinger
00:50:52Stickler
00:50:52Ha!
00:50:54Exit out the back door
00:50:55Take a left
00:50:56All right
00:50:56Thanks, Brendan
00:50:57You got it
00:50:58Let's do this
00:51:11Oh, okay
00:51:13Santa's workshop certainly got an upgrade
00:51:16Yeah
00:51:17Definitely not warm, cozy holiday vibes
00:51:19Can I see it?
00:51:23Ho, ho, ho
00:51:25Welcome, merry participants
00:51:27You have 59 minutes to earn your freedom
00:51:30You get it?
00:51:32Good, yeah
00:51:32Did you scream?
00:51:34Who was the machine?
00:51:35I think I heard you scream
00:51:35No, I don't
00:51:36Nope
00:51:36Don't know
00:51:38Wow
00:51:38Okay, I got boxes
00:51:40Okay
00:51:43We got some switches
00:51:48Oh, elves
00:51:49Lots of elves
00:51:54Hey
00:51:55We got a black light over here
00:51:58Okay
00:51:58They have some kind of security ID on here
00:52:02Okay, makes sense
00:52:03Santa has a lot of top secret tech
00:52:05The elves need clearance
00:52:06Yeah, makes total sense
00:52:09Okay, there's arrows on the boxes
00:52:11Okay, let's think
00:52:13Six elves
00:52:14Six boxes
00:52:15One toy sack
00:52:17Yeah, maybe the arrows are a misdirect
00:52:20Oh, that's good
00:52:22Wow
00:52:24Hey, wait
00:52:24Do yours have a barcode on the back?
00:52:26We do
00:52:27Maybe they need to be scanned?
00:52:29Black light
00:52:30Black light
00:52:3656
00:52:36Ooh
00:52:3822
00:52:4184
00:52:4256
00:52:4222
00:52:4384
00:52:43It's got to be a combination, right?
00:52:44It's got to be a lock
00:52:45Lock
00:52:45Okay, let's look for a lock
00:52:48If I were a lock
00:52:50Where would I be?
00:52:52Lock
00:52:53Lock
00:52:55Nice
00:52:56Okay
00:52:5756
00:52:5722
00:52:5984
00:53:04Okay
00:53:06You want to reach him?
00:53:07No, I don't want to reach him
00:53:08Yeah, fair enough
00:53:10Oh
00:53:11A teddy bear
00:53:13Not just any teddy bear
00:53:15A Christmas present
00:53:19Toy sack
00:53:34Ho, ho, ho
00:53:36You have escaped from Santa's workshop
00:53:39With a gift in record time
00:53:41Proceed to the Santa's sleigh lunch bag
00:53:44What's the round, babe?
00:53:45Record time
00:53:45What's up?
00:53:46You're incredible
00:53:50Oh
00:53:50Okay
00:53:51Keep your eyes peeled for clues
00:53:58Brendan
00:53:59Enough
00:54:02Oh my gosh
00:54:04Whoa
00:54:05So this is how he delivers billions of presents in one night
00:54:10Santa 5.0
00:54:12Enter launch code
00:54:14What was our code?
00:54:1556
00:54:1622
00:54:1684
00:54:17Yep
00:54:18Not it
00:54:19Alright, we are looking for a new launch code
00:54:21Okay
00:54:22We got this
00:54:24Hey
00:54:25The sleigh has a license plate
00:54:26It says baggage
00:54:28Huh
00:54:29Okay
00:54:29I need baggage
00:54:31Well
00:54:32There's a giant toy sack
00:54:33That's
00:54:33That's a bag, right?
00:54:34Good point
00:54:37Okay
00:54:38Anything?
00:54:39No
00:54:40There's nothing else in here
00:54:43Wait a sec
00:54:45Wait a sec
00:54:46Baggage
00:54:49Okay, hear me out
00:54:51What if they're not letters?
00:54:53What if they're musical notes?
00:54:56Ooh
00:54:56Mm-hmm
00:54:57You're good
00:54:58Yeah
00:54:59Ooh, one problem
00:55:01I can't read music
00:55:02Can you?
00:55:04No
00:55:04That's gonna be a bit of a stumbling block
00:55:07Let me hop down
00:55:08Do you think
00:55:09I mean, as much as it hurts my ego
00:55:10We ask for
00:55:12A little help
00:55:15Brendan, we need a clue
00:55:17Brendan, a little help, buddy
00:55:24It's, uh
00:55:25It's taking a sweet time
00:55:27Five
00:55:30Four
00:55:31Three
00:55:32Two
00:55:33One
00:55:35Santa sleigh launch aborted
00:55:38Christmas is canceled
00:55:40Have a holly jolly failure
00:55:43Wow
00:55:44That was a little dramatic
00:55:45Yeah
00:55:50Brendan
00:55:51Brendan
00:55:53Brendan
00:55:56Brendan
00:55:58Brendan
00:55:59Brendan
00:56:03You know, I could think of the worst places to be trapped
00:56:07Really?
00:56:08Yeah
00:56:08I could think of better
00:56:11Somewhere with
00:56:13Food
00:56:14Oh
00:56:17Food, you say?
00:56:21You think this is funny?
00:56:22Yeah
00:56:23We can't escape from an escape room
00:56:25It's a little bit funny
00:56:26We don't have any water
00:56:29Or cell phones
00:56:30Don't you have a promo first thing in the morning?
00:56:32Yeah
00:56:32I've got to work
00:56:33I think we're within our rights to be
00:56:35You know
00:56:36A little upset
00:56:37Yeah, but being upset
00:56:38Isn't gonna help us get out of the room
00:56:40So I'd rather count my blessings
00:56:41Or inside
00:56:42We have a very cozy place to sit down
00:56:45Thank you, Slay
00:56:45And my promo's not for 12 hours
00:56:47We have plenty of time
00:56:48Besides
00:56:49I'm sure Brendan's gonna let us out any minute
00:57:00Let's see
00:57:01What have we got?
00:57:03Yep
00:57:04And it's morning
00:57:10Well, at least the
00:57:13Slay is comfortable
00:57:14You were right about that
00:57:15Yeah
00:57:17Company's not bad either
00:57:20I wish I got to know you in high school
00:57:23Yeah
00:57:24At least we're getting to know each other now
00:57:26Yeah?
00:57:27Mm-hmm
00:57:28Then
00:57:29Lay it on me
00:57:30Give me
00:57:31A peek behind the curtain
00:57:32Who is Ted Cooper?
00:57:35Oh, wow
00:57:36Well, for starters
00:57:38I am a codependent people pleaser
00:57:41Go on
00:57:42My therapist would tell you
00:57:44It is due to my mom leaving
00:57:46When we were young
00:57:47My dad never quite recovering from that
00:57:50And then my sister picking up his slack
00:57:53And then me learning to make myself
00:57:54As small as possible
00:57:55So as to not create more work
00:57:56For the two of them
00:58:00Upside isn't fun at parties
00:58:03How about you?
00:58:04Lay it on me
00:58:05Listen, I don't know
00:58:06I don't want the highlight reel
00:58:07I want the baggage
00:58:08Baggage
00:58:08Okay, um
00:58:09This last year was a nightmare
00:58:13Moved back here
00:58:14I lost my dad
00:58:16And I go between
00:58:18Saving lives
00:58:19And being two cats away
00:58:21From becoming a spinster
00:58:23I'm also three inches
00:58:25Taller than I'm comfortable with
00:58:27Ah
00:58:27Just three inches?
00:58:29Yeah
00:58:32No, but seriously
00:58:34I
00:58:35I could never do what you do
00:58:38But it must
00:58:40Feel nice
00:58:42Knowing that
00:58:43Your job
00:58:44Literally makes the world
00:58:46A better place
00:58:49I think you're amazing, Hope
00:58:53Is this how you pictured
00:58:54The date ending?
00:58:56Weirdly enough
00:58:57This is exactly
00:59:00How I pictured the date ending
00:59:10Uh, hey guys
00:59:12Uh, so sorry about that
00:59:15Um, as an apology for the whole
00:59:17Accidental captivity thing
00:59:19How about a 50% discount
00:59:21Next time you come back
00:59:21It's nice, Brandon
00:59:24Good morning
00:59:27Wow
00:59:39Where have you been?
00:59:40Got stuck in an escape room all night
00:59:41I hope
00:59:42Yeah
00:59:43This is not a time for jokes
00:59:44For less than a minute
00:59:44Not a joke
00:59:45How's my hair?
00:59:46Yes, it's good
00:59:46It's perfect
00:59:46You look great, yeah
00:59:48Break a leg
00:59:48Yeah
01:00:00Ted
01:00:01Hello
01:00:01You with us, buddy?
01:00:03Indeed I am, Ken
01:00:04I am here live
01:00:05At the Lackawanna Community Center
01:00:07Where there has
01:00:08Never been
01:00:09A
01:00:10More
01:00:11Beautiful
01:00:12Morning
01:00:18Thank you, Ted
01:00:20And these local bakers
01:00:22Are trying to set a state record
01:00:23For the largest gingerbread man
01:00:25In New York history
01:00:26And why not a world record?
01:00:28Well, because the world record
01:00:30Is over 32 feet tall, Ken
01:00:31And we don't have the budget for that
01:00:32So come on down
01:00:33And help raise money
01:00:34For the local children's hospital
01:00:36I, for one, can't think of
01:00:37A more delicious way
01:00:38To raise money for a good cause
01:00:40Can you?
01:00:43Reporting live from Lackawanna
01:00:44I'm Ted Cooper
01:00:46And we're clear
01:00:47Thank you
01:00:47That was great
01:00:48I love you
01:00:49I am going to kill you
01:00:50Where were you?
01:00:51I mean, I am very happy
01:00:52But you did not come home last night
01:00:53And I want to hug you
01:00:55And I want to strangle you
01:00:56Okay
01:00:57I have conflicting feelings
01:00:58Yeah, see that
01:00:58Uh, listen
01:00:59I, I, uh
01:01:00I got stuck in an escape room
01:01:01Like I said, I can't talk now
01:01:02I love you
01:01:02And we'll talk later
01:01:06So
01:01:06What are you doing with the rest of your day?
01:01:09Um
01:01:09Well, I have a shift
01:01:11I've got to work till six
01:01:12Oof
01:01:13Ouch
01:01:14Well
01:01:14How about I call you
01:01:17After you get off
01:01:18And
01:01:18Maybe we can grab a drink
01:01:20Or
01:01:20Get stuck
01:01:21In another local establishment
01:01:25Uh
01:01:26We should be so lucky
01:01:31Good morning, Hope
01:01:35Good morning, Ted
01:01:46Hey
01:01:48Hey
01:01:48Hey, look who's home
01:01:51Keys, lover boy
01:01:52I got places to be
01:01:53And I am going to take a long winter's nap
01:01:56Wait, quick reminder
01:01:58You have one more promo this afternoon
01:02:00Before the big event tomorrow
01:02:01Yes, I will take a red share
01:02:02Wait, just don't get thrown in jail between now and then
01:02:06No promises
01:02:13That's Ted, isn't it?
01:02:15I mean
01:02:17Yeah
01:02:17Yeah
01:02:20Wait, you like him?
01:02:22I can't remember the last time I had this much fun
01:02:25How many guys would take you to an escape room on a first date?
01:02:30All right, Ted Cooper
01:02:31You smooth operator
01:02:34Wait, when are you seeing him again?
01:02:36Tonight
01:02:39Well, okay
01:02:40Well, guest dinner with me and the others is out of the question
01:02:42Have fun with your plans
01:02:44Okay
01:03:08You Ed?
01:03:09I wasn't expecting a limo
01:03:12Well, surprise, surprise
01:03:14Yeah
01:03:15I'm taking the vibe in here, man
01:03:16Why start vibes of what I'm about?
01:03:18Drink those tunes back up, Ed
01:03:19Right on, man
01:03:30So tomorrow, if you have plans
01:03:32Cancel them
01:03:33If you have work, call in sick
01:03:35And if you have a hot date
01:03:36Tell them
01:03:36It's not them, it's you
01:03:38Because you'll be in Lackawanna at the Gingerbread Invitational
01:03:41Back to you, Ken
01:03:42Uh, thanks
01:03:45Ted
01:03:47Anything new?
01:03:48Because I'm not seeing any casts on body parts
01:03:50Or missing teeth
01:03:51Or any apparent symptoms of illness
01:03:55I'm worried
01:03:56Is everything okay?
01:03:58It's like I told you, Ken
01:03:59It was only a matter of time
01:04:01Before my Christmas bad luck turned around
01:04:05That's not frosting
01:04:30Hello?
01:04:33Hello?
01:04:34Hi
01:04:37Sorry, I was looking for Ted
01:04:40Ted, he's with me
01:04:42We're going to a Christmas rave
01:04:46Uh, uh
01:04:49It doesn't matter
01:04:52You dropped your phone, Ted
01:04:54My name's not Ted
01:04:56It's Ted
01:04:57And whose phone is this?
01:05:02Wait, another woman answered?
01:05:04You're telling me Ted Cooper's a player?
01:05:06Well, I, I mean
01:05:08It doesn't seem like the kind of guy, but
01:05:13Is he?
01:05:14Do you want me to track him down?
01:05:16Liam Neeson style
01:05:17I have a very particular set of skills
01:05:20Oh, that won't be necessary
01:05:22Is it too late to join you for dinner?
01:05:24I don't want to wait around here
01:05:25Oh, of course
01:05:27Thank you
01:05:31Have you seen my phone?
01:05:32No
01:05:33Do you want me to call it?
01:05:35Yes, please
01:05:41Do you hear it?
01:05:43No
01:05:44It's ringing
01:05:52Voicemail
01:05:56Hello?
01:05:57Yes
01:05:59Okay, that's fine
01:06:00Why don't you take me through the problem first?
01:06:03All right
01:06:03Kate
01:06:03Yeah
01:06:04Kate
01:06:04What?
01:06:05Can I borrow the car real quick?
01:06:06Why?
01:06:07Because I told Hope that I'd call her
01:06:09I don't want her to think I'm a flick
01:06:09Okay
01:06:10Okay, so is that
01:06:11Hi
01:06:11Is that a word call?
01:06:12Yes, yes
01:06:14Love you
01:06:15I am so sorry about that
01:06:17Yes, my phone has just been on the fridge lately
01:06:24I am so sorry
01:07:14Mind if I borrow your phone?
01:07:16Are you really calling her this early?
01:07:18Yeah
01:07:22Come on, Hope
01:07:23Okay, so I have ordered the ultrasound
01:07:26The x-ray
01:07:29The blood work
01:07:35She's not picking up
01:07:36Well, Hope's a doctor
01:07:37She's probably busy
01:07:40Speaking of busy
01:07:41I have to go
01:07:43Goodbye
01:07:44Wait, wait, wait
01:07:44Am 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
01:07:49If anyone can work it out
01:07:50It's you
01:07:51But if you make me any later than I already am
01:07:53I will hurt you
01:07:54In ways you can't imagine
01:07:55Understood
01:07:56Okay
01:07:56See ya
01:07:57Wait, wait, wait
01:07:58How am I going to call Carth on my phone?
01:08:01Walk
01:08:02Oh
01:08:03Whoa
01:08:05Hug?
01:08:09No hug
01:08:09Yeah, no hug
01:08:10Okay
01:08:11Bye, Ted
01:08:12Bye
01:08:14Have a great day
01:08:17She can't say it back
01:08:22Ted
01:08:22We were trying to call you
01:08:25Oh, I lost my phone
01:08:26What's up?
01:08:28Well
01:08:28The girls and I pitched in
01:08:30And
01:08:30Well
01:08:32Here
01:08:32For me?
01:08:34Mm-hmm
01:08:34Aw
01:08:35Thank you
01:08:38No
01:08:40Way
01:08:42Aw
01:08:42This is awesome
01:08:44Thank you
01:08:46Aw
01:08:47I gotta pop this on right now
01:08:49I'm part of the crew
01:08:53Yeah, it's snow falling like this
01:08:55I'm turning to y'all
01:08:55Step out looking ready
01:08:57We're outside
01:08:59Yeah
01:09:01Yeah
01:09:02It's a holiday flex
01:09:04No stress, no stress
01:09:06No, no
01:09:07It's a holiday flex
01:09:09No stress, no stress
01:09:11Is everything okay to seem a little less enthusiastic than normal
01:09:16Especially given that outfit
01:09:18Keep going girls, we'll catch up
01:09:22I assure you it's not the outfit
01:09:24The outfit is incredible
01:09:26It's hope
01:09:26We were supposed to talk last night
01:09:28But I lost my phone
01:09:29So I went to her house and I left a note
01:09:31But she never called
01:09:32I'm just kind of spinning out
01:09:34Wondering if she's having second thoughts
01:09:36Mm-mm
01:09:36In life and in love
01:09:38There will be so many situations where you get your wires crossed
01:09:42Don't assume the worst
01:09:44It's just like in the movies
01:09:46Young couples are always breaking up because of some silly misunderstanding
01:09:50Rock Hudson and Doris Day
01:09:52Robert Redford and Jane Fonda
01:09:53Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet
01:09:56Yeah, they didn't break up
01:09:57He 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
01:10:07Snap out of it
01:10:10You will talk to her again soon
01:10:12I know it
01:10:13Thanks, Ruth
01:10:33Hello?
01:10:34Uh, hey, is, uh, is this Hope?
01:10:37Ted?
01:10:38No, Ed
01:10:39I found this phone on my ride this morning
01:10:41I'm just calling all the recent callers
01:10:43Trying to figure out who it belongs to
01:10:44So, wait, you've had Ted's phone since last night?
01:10:49Ted Cooper?
01:10:51I remember him
01:10:52Sweet 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
01:11:01What?
01:11:02What did you do?
01:11:03That thing
01:11:03The thing that I do
01:11:06Oh, I gotta go find Ted
01:11:08Thank you
01:11:09Thank you
01:11:10So, what should I do with Ted's phone?
01:11:12Yeah, yeah, I'll call you back
01:11:14Hello?
01:11:15Hello?
01:11:24Hey
01:11:25There you are
01:11:27Where have you been?
01:11:29What are you wearing?
01:11:30Never mind, that doesn't matter right now
01:11:31Well, actually
01:11:33That's a whole thing
01:11:35That's a lot
01:11:35Is everything alright?
01:11:36No
01:11:37I mean
01:11:38It wasn't
01:11:41I called you last night
01:11:42And this
01:11:43This girl
01:11:44She picked up the phone
01:11:45And she said she was with you
01:11:46And I
01:11:47You know
01:11:48I didn't know how to take that
01:11:50I just
01:11:50I realize that
01:11:52You know
01:11:52It's not like we're exclusive
01:11:53Or anything
01:11:54I mean
01:11:55We've just been on one day
01:11:56I
01:11:56I
01:11:57I was just like
01:11:57That's not cool
01:11:59Yeah
01:11:59That doesn't seem like something Ted would do
01:12:01But then
01:12:03You didn't call me
01:12:04So 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
01:12:12And said that he had your phone
01:12:14Ed has my phone?
01:12:16Of course you know the driver
01:12:18Listen, Ted
01:12:19I was so mad at myself
01:12:21For sitting around
01:12:22Waiting for you to call
01:12:23That I just
01:12:24I
01:12:26I gave up
01:12:28And I do that
01:12:29Sometimes
01:12:30I do
01:12:31And I shouldn't
01:12:32And
01:12:33I'm sorry
01:12:38What's so funny?
01:12:40Ruth
01:12:40She called this
01:12:41It's
01:12:41It's a classic misunderstanding
01:12:44When you thought I got the note
01:12:45And then I didn't call you
01:12:46Were
01:12:47Were you
01:12:48Worried?
01:12:49Yeah, yeah
01:12:49I was worried that you were having second thoughts
01:12:51But now I'm just
01:12:51I'm glad that we cleared it up
01:12:53Well, no
01:12:54I'm glad that we cleared it up
01:12:55I
01:12:55I
01:12:55I think I'm just trying to talk about
01:12:57You know, what we were feeling
01:12:59Okay, yeah
01:13:00I
01:13:00I get that
01:13:03Do you
01:13:05Get that?
01:13:07Are
01:13:08Are you upset that I'm not upset?
01:13:13Well
01:13:14No, I
01:13:16Well, now maybe I think I'm upset that you never get upset
01:13:19I
01:13:20I get upset
01:13:21Do you?
01:13:22Because I feel like you're happy all the time
01:13:24No, but
01:13:25Even if I was
01:13:26I mean, is there anything wrong with that?
01:13:27No, it's just
01:13:28I think it makes it hard for me to understand you sometimes
01:13:33Okay
01:13:33Um
01:13:35What, uh
01:13:36What don't you understand?
01:13:38For one
01:13:39Why wouldn't you take the job in Buffalo?
01:13:42Well, that
01:13:42See, that's complicated, right?
01:13:44Because Jerry gave you this great opportunity
01:13:46No, Ted, Ted, Ted
01:13:46I know, I know
01:13:47It's the job
01:13:48It's the
01:13:48The cookie
01:13:49It's the mayo
01:13:50On the burger
01:13:51It's, it's, it's everything
01:13:52I don't
01:13:52I don't know why you would give up what you want
01:13:55Just to make everybody else happy
01:13:56I don't like being an imposition
01:13:58Advocating for yourself isn't an imposition?
01:14:03Ted, I like so much about you
01:14:05I do
01:14:05I really do
01:14:06I just
01:14:07I think
01:14:07You know, when life gets hard
01:14:09And does
01:14:10All the time
01:14:11In my line of work
01:14:12I'm just not sure that I can
01:14:14Be with someone that keeps it so surface
01:14:16All the time
01:14:20If you, uh
01:14:22If you think I just
01:14:23Bury my head in the sand
01:14:26I don't think you really know me at all
01:14:29Then help me know you
01:14:30I think there's so much more to Ted
01:14:33Than you let any of us see
01:14:37Merry Christmas, Ted
01:14:42Oh, wait
01:15:10You 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
01:15:19Thank you
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
01:15:38Oh
01:15:39Hope fought
01:15:40You kind of just
01:15:41Stood there and took it
01:15:45Walk with me
01:15:50I'm gonna say something nice to you
01:15:52But don't get used to it
01:15:53Because it is only gonna happen once
01:15:55Okay
01:15:56You deserve everything good in life
01:15:59But you hold yourself back
01:16:01You 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
01:16:09You're gonna be okay
01:16:10You're gonna tell her how you feel
01:16:12And you'll be back annoying me in no time
01:16:15That's against the world
01:16:16That's against the world
01:16:18Hey
01:16:19What you've done here
01:16:21It's incredible
01:16:23Have you taken a moment to appreciate that?
01:16:25Yeah
01:16:26No, dude
01:16:27I'm serious
01:16:28Look around you
01:16:30This took a Herculean effort
01:16:32And you crushed it
01:16:34Soak it in
01:16:36It's moments like these that make you almost worth the frown lines
01:16:39Almost
01:16:41Almost
01:16:41Almost
01:17:03So
01:17:05That'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
01:17:11You 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
01:17:20For not being mad at you, right?
01:17:22Yeah
01:17:23He's happy
01:17:24All the time
01:17:26Oh no
01:17:26A 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
01:17:41And I wanted to help, but I don't know how
01:17:44And then here comes Ted Cooper
01:17:46And he has put a smile on your face ever since he came back into town
01:17:51Hope, that's a beautiful thing
01:17:55What are you scared of?
01:17:57I've just
01:18:01Lost a lot
01:18:03Starting to feel like everybody leaves
01:18:06And maybe
01:18:10Maybe it's me
01:18:13Hope
01:18:14I only think it's you if you leave him on the other side of the city
01:18:20Fight for him
01:18:30I'm here in Lackawanna
01:18:32Where the Gingerbread Invitational is officially underway
01:18:35The giant gingerbread man behind me
01:18:37Will soon be measured to determine whether or not
01:18:40It has set a state record
01:18:41For the largest gingerbread man in New York history
01:18:45Until then
01:18:46I'll be here hanging out with members of my hometown
01:18:48Discussing the art of baking
01:18:50Lackawanna
01:18:50And of course, Christmas
01:18:52Go get him
01:18:52Okay
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?
01:19:02Not 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
01:19:12Oh
01:19:14Well, hi
01:19:15I'm Sydney
01:19:16Brandon
01:19:17Hi
01:19:17Hi
01:19:20Let's see who I
01:19:20Yes, you
01:19:21What is it that you love about Christmas?
01:19:23Oh, I like Christmas because of the presents
01:19:25And my grandma and grandma come to town
01:19:27And because I like presents
01:19:30I 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
01:19:43How about you?
01:19:45Yes
01:19:45Yes, you
01:19:47Oh, no
01:19:48No, come on
01:19:48Don't be shy
01:19:51Come on
01:19:56Hi
01:19:56Hi
01:19:57What is it that you are hoping for this Christmas?
01:20:03Um
01:20:06World peace
01:20:07Seems like a good one
01:20:11Sure
01:20:11A, you know, goodwill to everyone
01:20:16Yeah
01:20:17Goes without saying
01:20:18Yeah
01:20:19And
01:20:22Maybe a conversation that's not on air
01:20:28Well, it 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
01:20:39Oh, it's good to see you
01:20:40Can I go first?
01:20:44I'm aware that I am chronically optimistic
01:20:47And that I bright side every situation
01:20:52But I do get sad
01:20:53And I do get angry
01:20:55And
01:20:56I can do better at showing that
01:20:58And you were right
01:20:59I don't advocate for myself or fight for what I want
01:21:03Nearly as much as I could or should
01:21:05But I can do better
01:21:07And I, I, I will
01:21:10Do better
01:21:12Starting with you
01:21:16I took the job in Buffalo
01:21:18You did?
01:21:21Yeah
01:21:21It's a great opportunity
01:21:23And
01:21:25Happens to be
01:21:26Much closer to the girl I like
01:21:27That'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
01:21:46Coming back in three, two, one
01:21:50We're live

01:22:45I can't think of a more worthy cause this holiday season
01:22:50From Lackawanna, I'm Ted Hooper
01:22:52No, I'm not
