Nameless Best Friends

Hallmark Movie - "Holiday Hotline" - feat. Jack Harbison!

Ep. 16

or: "You'll Believe a Man Can Fry"


Well, well, well! This was a movie with many names, sponsored, we think, by the Nickname Organization (to donate, please send any and all donations to Venmo at @paigeharbison)


This is a movie about a "British" "chef" who works at a holiday hotline for people who cook their turkeys with the plastic on and then call other adults to ask if it's okay to do that. She falls in love with someone, and they have in common the fact that they are both lying about their names. But he hates that about her.


In this one, we discuss the correct chicken way to pronounce "MACABRE," we learn about Gazoo, and Jack plays the guitar for .8 seconds at the very end with EXTREME reluctance. "You'll Believe a Man Can Fry" was Jack's alt title which he got in the first record of the episode (yes we had to record this one TWICE) and forgot about in this one, so please appreciate his Superman reference.


Speaking of Jack, his new album is out! Check it out on Spotify and Apple Music! Every listen helps!


Here's the book of Beth's that we reference, Secrets of A Shoe Addict. It's a sequel, but you can read out of order if you want. Otherwise, here is the first one! And hey let's go totally out of order, here's the third one, a novella, which became a Hallmark movie!


And thank you so much for listening and sharing and downloading and rating us. It makes more of a difference than we ever knew when we were just listeners of podcasts. Tell all your nameless friends! Share on socials! Tell the worlllllld!
