Hallmark My Word #1 - Hallmark News with Jacks

[00:00:01] Hello and welcome to Hallmark My Words with Jacks. This week in breaking Hallmark News, who's getting divorced, who got engaged, and what do fans think of Chris Palaha's birthday post for his wife Julianne. All that and more coming up next. Wow! Great job, Jacks. First time, first try.

[00:00:26] First try. Well, okay, let's be real. We did practice that off camera. We practiced it once. One time though. The Gossman Brand gave me some extensive notes and then that was just me taking it again. This is very exciting, Jacks. This is our first ever Hallmark News podcast about the stuff going on in the Hallmark and other made-for-TV movie universe.

[00:00:52] This is, this is a lot of people have been asking for this and now we're finally doing it. Have people been asking for this? No, I actually haven't. No, I haven't heard about this. No. No. No. But I do think that once people get to experience it once, that's all they're gonna need. They're gonna be hooked. I hope so. I hope so because we're here, we're gonna talk about things going on, you know, in production, all the exciting, you know, entertainment things and Hallmark that are coming up.

[00:01:20] But honestly, most importantly, we're gonna get to talk about Hot Goss. Yeah. Hot Goss. And is that our first segment? Oh, oh, I'm sorry. Should I have said that? No, you did a wonderful segue. Yeah. So we're gonna have three segments. Should I let people know what's happening? Yeah, let them know what's happening. Three segments. And first up, which honestly, you guys, you know what? I just love, I don't love to talk about people behind their backs, but you know what I do love?

[00:01:47] I do love a bit of Hot Goss. You know, the tea is hot and Brandon and I are gonna be serving it today and breaking it down for you guys. So, oh, it's still got hot. I didn't realize the music was still going. That's really good. I didn't know it was still going. No, that was perfect though. Um, that's good. That's good. Oh, God. That was better. Okay. So Brandon, do you like gossip? No.

[00:02:17] Sorry. No, it's okay. Buckle up, buddy. I think I can learn to love Goss. There's a reason Dan's not here. Wait, is he never doing this? I don't know. I'm sure. No, I think once he hears it, he's gonna be mad that he wasn't here for it. It could just be our thing. Before I jump in, Bran did say to me like, hey, it's just gonna be me. I hope that's okay. Bran, we're buddies. Yeah. Both like in real life and also like creative collaborators. So honestly, like I'm happy. Well, I know.

[00:02:46] I just don't want you to think that you're getting the old like C team, which is just me, you know, this is a big deal. This is, this is a hallmark. My words with Jack. I get, but this, this podcast sprang from your creative mind. So I'm happy to be with the CEO and founder. Thank you. I'm a CEO, but yes, I appreciate it. I'm so sorry. See, oh, oh, yes, you are the operational. I'm an operations boy. Okay. Let's get to the hot goss. The hot goss. Okay.

[00:03:16] So we are going to kick it off with Melissa Gilbert. Okay. So Melissa Gilbert shared her makeup free selfie. Now that doesn't sound like it's super dramatic, but let me tell you why. Okay. So her Instagram has been dark defunct. I think she deactivated it for about two months. Why do you know why brand? I, I am. I do know why, but you tell, do you tell the listeners why? Okay. So her husband, Timothy bus fields, who actually I was a big fan of when he was on West wing,

[00:03:44] he has been accused of sexual assault. He's been in the press. She was doing the standby your man thing, but now she's kind of just being quiet about it, but she's broken that silence by bravely. I say that in quotes. I think it's, I think it's wonderful when women don't wear makeup. I'm not wearing makeup. There's nothing wrong with wearing it. There's nothing wrong with not wearing it. I wasn't going to say anything. Jack. You can tell. Can't you know? Yeah. You look wonderful. Well, fresh faced. I'm also not wearing makeup in solidarity.

[00:04:14] I I'm shocked by that. Um, but she posted this makeup free selfie. Now this actually makes sense. The, the reboot of little house on the prairie is coming out. Like that's all happening. She's saying like, she's doing the prairie look, but there is a hashtag on her Instagram that says hashtag. We can do hard things. Yeah. And we know she's not talking about the makeup. She's talking about what's going on in her life.

[00:04:41] Now people here says hashtag love life. Even when it's hard. She also had, so she went a little hashtag. She went a little hashtag. Oh, she went hard in the, how many hashtags is too many hashtags. What honestly? So I probably do too much. Um, cause I feel, Oh, here it is. Yes. Yeah. So hashtag keep moving forward. Hashtag never give up. Hashtag love life. Even when it's hard. We can do hard things. Yeah. Maybe you included that one. I'm obsessed with that podcast. Okay.

[00:05:11] Most of Gilbert official. Let's see. Um, no, she did. She did. People just not including it. No, the actual, no, the actual hashtags are get in the picture. We can do hard things. Keep moving forward. Never give up. Those are the hashtags. The love life. Even when it's hard, not even a hashtag. I guess you forgot to hashtag it and smushed it together without the hashtag. Okay. That's okay.

[00:05:38] I think, uh, that's, that's like, so she's going to be on the, the new little house in the Prairie. Is that what you're saying? No, I don't think. Oh, well, it'd be nice if they offered her like a guest spot, but no, she is not actually She's a one calls the heart girly. That's exactly right. She's, um, my buddy, my buddy, Jack Wagner's love interest. That's exactly right. Um, so yeah, that's why this is relevant to Hallmark news is because she is the one calls the heart girly.

[00:06:08] We'll see what happens, but you know, Melissa, honestly, I do believe that women cannot know what their disgusting husbands are doing. So I think she might not have known what was happening. And I'm not saying that was happening because, um, allegedly, allegedly, but I always stand with children and I always stand with victims and you know, I will just be closing my eyes when I do my West wing rewatch when he comes on. Cause he's a big West winger. Oh yeah.

[00:06:37] He's really good on it. He's really good on it. I will say a good actor, but this is about him. It's not about him. It's about Melissa Gilbert or make a free selfie, but you know who it's also about up next on hot goss, Victor Webster. Oh, what did he do this time? Do an, uh, no, this is actually like fully in incredible what he did. Okay. This is amazing.

[00:07:02] So Victor Webster posted, um, he's in the new Hannah Swinson, um, mystery. Yes. He, he was talking about how excited he was sugar and vice. So that's like the old one, but whatever. Go keep going. Is that the old one? Keep going. Yeah. That is the old, but he looks great. Um, okay. So he, he posted on here and someone, a fan wrote, people are like amazing casting. Oh my goodness. I love this. And a fan wrote a fan.

[00:07:30] Um, I disagree. Get rid of Victor Webster to Victor Webster reply, which I freaking love this. He replied, speaking of hot goss, I asked production to replace me with Ryan Gosling, but apparently he was busy. And then he added sending big hugs. Now, brand. What do you think? With the response to that? I, what from the person from the, the, uh, yeah. From the person.

[00:08:00] If I, I think they probably just ran away and hid, right? It's like, they sure didn't that they double down. No, of course not. Oh my God. I got a reply from you. Love you on charmed is coop. Okay. But you know what I, you know what I appreciate about this is that they, this person does stand by the fact that they don't want them on the Hannah Swenson. They do like him on charmed as coop. Yeah. Actually, you know what?

[00:08:30] You're right. So it is a bit of a double down. It is a bit, it is a bit of a double down because I feel like they felt like they weren't being authentic. If they like, they can't just reverse it now and be like, I was trolling you. Right. But I do think it's kind of funny that they were like, Oh my, I got a response from you. And honestly, like sometimes like, let's be real. Sometimes people are just wanting attention. I act out when I'm wanting attention sometimes like, like whatever.

[00:08:58] Um, so I really admire the way that this hallmark man handled this situation. Um, but speaking of hallmark men and what they're doing on Instagram, let's move over to our boy, Christopher Palaha. So I love Chris. You love Chris. We love Chris. Chris has a gorgeous wife who I love. He loves her and he made a fantastic. Sweet for her. I'm sure.

[00:09:28] I'm sure posts like she probably loved it. Right. So here's what the post is. Um, he, what a way to set it up. Well, well, there's just lots of feelings about this post and I admire him for, um, making a post that was so thoroughly discussed, um, on Instagram threads. There've been Tik TOks made about it for a simple happy birthday post. Okay.

[00:09:55] We have Chris Palaha cuddled up here with his three sons to the caption says the photo sums up my last 20 years of my life, minus the person who took the photo. And I have heard to thank for this life, the love of my life, HBD baby for eternity. So of course you have your normal comments of saying how beautiful and gorgeous this is. Right.

[00:10:23] Um, but then you have the people that are just thoroughly confused why his wife is not in her own birthday post. Yeah. So for example, um, a user writes, I thought she went to glory. People thought this was a post about her passing away. That one took me out, uh, leave it to a man to make the work of woman. A woman does be the focus, not the person. Damn. You couldn't do a carousel with photos of her in there too.

[00:10:53] This post is wild. Does she get to be in the mother's day post? So it's her birthday and you centered yourself, huh? But where's your wife? It's her birthday. I'm so confused. Where is the lady? Is she among us in flesh and blood? How did her day become about him? Man. Also a kind person saying, Oh yeah. How to say you're a narcissist without saying you're a narcissist. Oh boy. That's tough.

[00:11:22] Yeah. My boy Chris. Also someone just simply said, you better check threads where this was blowing up. It was blowing up on thread. He got absolutely eviscerated. Oh no. Here's what made me sad. Look, I know Chris. I love Chris. I know how much he loves his wife. I know that this intention was incredibly pure. And even though I don't really know Julianne, I think she probably liked this post, but here's what I'm afraid happened.

[00:11:52] She loved the post. Thought it was really sweet. Went about her merry day for her birthday. But then when this blew up so negatively for Chris, I am afraid that it took over the day. I'm afraid it took over the day. I'm afraid that he did end up centering himself on her birthday because he was scared about how much it was blowing up. I have no leg to stand on when it comes to this, but that is just my sneaking suspicion. So yeah.

[00:12:22] Yeah. This is making me sad. Is it? Those comments are tough. They're tough. They're tough. And look, they don't know. They don't know the relationship, but I understand why if you don't know that you would say, huh? Huh? And some people being not even people coming in, in like a, um, trying to start a fight way. This one, you know, uh, you're getting, uh, bodied.

[00:12:51] I don't know what that means. So I apologize if that's bad. Uh, bodied on threads for this post way harder than you are in here. And frankly, you deserve it with the little hands emoji like that. Oh my gosh. This is hot. Gosh. This is a hot God. And I was getting red as I was reading it. I was just like, Oh no, does he know? Cause it looks like he's on set right now with Sarah Lancaster, which is not in my production section update because I couldn't, I couldn't, this can't be a Chris Bullaha podcast.

[00:13:21] And I knew I wanted to focus on this, but you gotta throw him a bone, you know, although he's throwing himself a bone in this picture. So it's like, now brand to ask you, like, obviously we love Chris. That goes without saying a post like this. I think I would probably, I would expect it for father's day. This feels father's day to me. You know, I don't know. I don't, I don't know. Uh, yeah, I don't, I don't know. I probably wouldn't have done it like this, but you know, maybe she didn't want a picture

[00:13:51] of herself on, on her birthday. We don't know. Right. Right. We don't know. Jax. Right. We just present the news. So say, well, no, but I can editorialize. I'm, I'm like sassy fun news girl. I'm not just presenting the new way. Is that, do I have to just present the news? We are hard hitting news journalists. We don't have opinions. You know, honestly, this isn't the 24 hour news cycle. Okay. You know what?

[00:14:20] Honestly presented without comment where we're in no spin zone, but look at that photo. And you tell me if you think happy birthday to my wife. Um, I get that she might not want her picture posted, but you could even say this is her favorite photo. You know what I'm saying? That's why I posted it. I will say also ending it with for eternity does make it seem like she died. She died.

[00:14:47] As someone said, she went to glory, which I'm going to be saying from now on. Like I thought she went to glory. Like someone was actually correcting someone and being like, no, no, no. Like she died, which, which, but she did not. I don't think she has. I, uh, no. Julian is alive and well, and I'm going to be, I'm going to be real hot as ever. Sure. Sure. So that was fun, but we, we will, we will move on now because we've talked our hot goth

[00:15:13] and now it's time for our next payment for a break. We're going to be right back. What's this called again? Hot goth. Oh, hallmark. My words. Yeah. With Jack. Okay. We're back. We're back. We're back. Hi, uh, everybody. Welcome back to hallmark. My words with Jack's the hard hitting news.

[00:15:43] No spin zone. No spin. No spin. No spin zone. No spin zone here. Uh, we did our hot goss. What do we have now? Okay. So up next, we have a segment all about love and loss entitled. Roses. Do you say it or do I say it? No, you can say it. Oh, roses and thorns. Roses and thorns.

[00:16:14] That was good brand. Um, okay. So in this section of the program, we talk about love in the hallmark universe. Who's getting married. Who's getting divorced. Who's celebrating anniversaries. And we're going to start different than hot goss. It's a way for me to continue the hot goss without feeling like I'm still gossiping. Yeah. Like you're, we're only doing gossip. This is not, this is not gossip. Hot honey rag is what I could have called this. Okay.

[00:16:45] Is that okay? Is that appropriate? I feel like it's like, I feel like it's a newspaper. Wait, hold on. I got to look up hot honey rag. Make sure that we don't have honey rag. Hot honey. Is that a thing? Is anyone on the chat? I'd rather, I don't know. I don't have it open. I'm dying. I don't know. There's too much going on over here. Hot honey rag. Um, oh yeah. It's a, it's a thing from Chicago. It's a hot, it's a dance. Okay. Well, I also think it's my new segment is hot honey rag. Um, okay. So how do we say her name?

[00:17:15] Tyler Lee. Tyler. Tyler. Okay. So you say Tyler. Yeah. You know what? I realized. I like that. That's like when we call it when Dan did the chored, uh, chored over whatever his name was. Uh, yes. Also brand. I feel like if anyone can understand, um, mispronunciation, it's my boy brand. And that's not meant as an insult. That's meant. Oh, you look like you're crying. Are you okay? Were you sad? No. Tyler.

[00:17:45] Tyler. Tyler Lee. Okay. So not only is the way home in its final season, which was a bummer for Kyler. She was talking about that, but not only is that coming to an end, her marriage to Nathan West is coming to an end. They have split up after 23 years. She talked about it on, um, the May 12th episode of books that changed my life podcast. That's an interesting place to drop the news. It is. Isn't it? Where would you drop the news?

[00:18:15] I mean, you'll never get divorced unless Caitlin decides to, but that's true. I'm not, I can't get better. But brand told me like, just told me, told me, trust me. We know, um, you're lovely though. You're lovely though. Caitlin's just truly accepting. Trust me. Um, but, but I don't think I would do it on the books that changed me podcast. I actually hear that. I hear that. I hear that. I also know I'm relatively private though.

[00:18:44] I don't think I would, I don't think I would do a big announcement. I don't think I would talk about it really. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I think, you know, sometimes people do that like Instagram post where they do it like the black background with like the white words, right? You know, but, and then you end it with for not for eternity. Not, not for eternity. Yes. And you know what? Their kids are grown. They're 22, they're 19, they're 17, which is almost grown. I wish her a long and happy life.

[00:19:10] And honestly, let's have a divorce party for her because it takes a lot of courage to leave a life that isn't working for you anymore. Sure. 23 years is a long time. Yeah. Yeah. They have a, and they had three beautiful, I'm assuming children. Um, yeah, they're all old, you know, 22, 19 and 17, according to the article. Yeah. So they're like, they're like leaving the nest and honestly, like girl, follow your bliss or, or like, it seems like they just grown apart.

[00:19:38] And at least that's what she's saying. They're an amicable terms. Um, she said it was at a point where, okay, what you want and what I want aren't really lining up anymore. And I'd rather us be on good terms and us not harbor the resentment and anger, all that stuff. It's not worth it. Yes. Cause they're going to have to co-parent for the rest of their lives. If their kids have kids, when their kids have birthdays, life events, my parents have learned to do it. My parents even shared a couch when my sister had her second baby, my couch, they shared my

[00:20:08] couch and they are divorced. That is how you co-parent. Do you all have, um, holidays together? Do you have like a, a joint thing or not? We not every time we usually go to my mom's and then my dad's, but we have when it makes sense. I always like when that happens. I mean, my, my parents kill it at co-parenting. They really do. Because my, my parents are still together, but I have to imagine that if they, I'm sorry. I, thank you.

[00:20:32] Uh, I have to imagine though, if you, they're actually going to be celebrating, uh, 50 years of marriage, the weekend of Bramble Fest. Wait, are you being serious? 50 years. That's a long time. Wait, I can't tell if you're being serious. Why would I? Why would I? Your parents seem too young to have been married for 50 years. They did get married young. Okay. Wow. Yeah. Wait a minute. So I would, 50 years is a long time.

[00:21:01] Oh, we're not doing karaoke. No, we're doing karaoke. What are you talking about? We are. Yeah. Oh, it's the silent disco that is getting replaced. It is. Yes. Uh, Brian, Brian, Brian, uh, diet to Homer.com slash fast. If you want to come, it's going to be a lot of fun. Please do. We'll be there. I, uh, but I like to think that if my parents were divorced, I'd still want, like, it's like it as a, as a, as a kid, you're like, I just, if the parents are in good standing with each other, you know, you don't want it to be awkward or weird or where they're like

[00:21:30] bickering the whole time. But if they're like in this situation where hopefully I'd rather us be on good terms and not harbor resentment and anger, then maybe they can spend Christmas together. I know I'm making this about Christmas where this article is not. Of course you are. And that's okay. This, uh, this, this, this article is not talking about Christmas. I'm, I'm bringing the Christmas into it and I'm just saying, I hope they can spend Christmas with their kids. But as you should, as you should.

[00:21:56] Um, and I understand about being private, which brings me to my next story. Uh oh. Again, not hot goss. This is. It's not hot goss. This is roses and thorns. This is roses and thorns. And look, Heather Hemans announced her engagement. And the thing why I'm saying it's, it's private is she's never posted this man. We don't know his name. We can't see his face in her engagement post. She has a relatively. It's a, it's a great post. Oh, it says until the end of the world. Oh no, wait, hold on. We can see him there. That's not the, wow. He's hot.

[00:22:27] Um, where's the post? I can find this. You go. Okay. So basically other Hemans, we didn't even really know she was dating anyone. Like it wasn't a public thing. She posted until the end of the world. They got engaged. I'm very interested to see what happens next, but the name is still kept private for her fiance. Look how beautiful that is. The people can now see it. Yes. So look how beautiful. Obviously. They got the, he must've watched when calls the heart. You have the candles. Yeah.

[00:22:57] Surrounding the proposal. He was like, you know what I want to do? I want to pay homage to your network. I mean, look how cute they are together. Look how gorgeous she is. Like, Oh my word. She is a darling. He looks nice too from here. He looks really cute in that other picture. He looks nice too from here. I mean, like no one, no one is Heather Hemans. Like what are we doing here? Here it is. How about that? Like they're really cute. Like, come on. It's a good looking couple. It's a good looking couple.

[00:23:26] It's a good looking couple. And we wish her well in her marriage since this is good news. We'll be moving on. Is anybody in the comments saying how she's getting bodied and on over on threads? Anyone saying that in the comments or is this all good? No, everyone's really happy for her. Again, I'm not familiar with that term, that phrase. And so if I'm using it. No, he is, but he is getting bodied on threads. He is getting bodied. Buried. I think that's what's all happening over there on threads. You know what I'm saying?

[00:23:56] Yeah. Our next piece and our final piece of news and roses and thorns are Tamera Mowry Housley shares wedding photos for her 15th anniversary. Oh, he is celebrating her 15th anniversary with her husband, Adam. And I think it's really, really sweet. I love Tamera. I also love Tia. We all know who my favorite one is, but we don't have to say it here because we're talking about the other one. That's right. But look how cute. Yeah. I wonder if I can do this. Will this pull it up here?

[00:24:26] Yeah, it will. I think there's the post. Oh, I can't do it. Well, we tried folks. We tried, but look, she is. I loved Tamera. I think she's a fantastic actress. The one time I met her, she was an incredibly sweet person. Uh huh. Did you meet her on the bubbly sesh? Rest in peace, obviously. No, rest in peace, obviously. It got, it got bodied and buried. Um, she, uh, I met her at Christmas con and she's so lovely. Yeah.

[00:24:56] Um, so we wish her and her husband, Adam. Oh, look at this nice post. How about you read this post for us? 15 years, 15 years of laughter, growth, adventures, family dinners, inside jokes, and showing up for each other through every season life has brought our way through the highs, the challenges and everything in between. One thing has always stayed the same. You've been my safe place. Oh, thank you for loving. Should I leave it there? No, you can keep going. Keep going. Thank you for loving me so fully leading our family with faith and being the most incredible partner. Right, right, right. We're good.

[00:25:25] Although I want to say, here's what, back to Chris Palaha. Here's what this would have been for her. If she would have posted this beautiful thing with photos of her in lingerie. And not featuring her husband. Because his, make no mistake, his thing was a thirst trap and I won't hear otherwise. He's like, look at what a good dad I am. I think so. Yeah. That would be the equivalent of her posting her in lingerie and being like, I just want

[00:25:54] to hear, this is my tribute to my husband. I initially sent these to my husband, but. Yeah. Yeah. In honor of 15 years. 15 years. He wanted me to share these with you. So, Tamara and Adam, we're so excited for you. We can't wait to see where life takes you. Oh, my love. Oh, that was nice. You know, two more roses than, and only one thorn. So that's nice. Yeah. We only have one thorn. I told you it's not about a hot goss, but you know what? There's more coming.

[00:26:22] And now we're getting to the real professional stuff. But first we're going to take a break. Really good job, Jack. Sounds good. Welcome back to Hallmark My Words with Jacks. Here's Jacks. That's where you start talking. Oh, I'm so sorry. Have you ever had anybody kick it to you and they go, and here's Jacks.

[00:26:52] I thought that I thought that I was just going to get to dance for a little bit. Sure. And like feel the music. But because I haven't been an anchor since my high school news program, which was at this point already. Oh, were you in TV productions? Sure. Were you? Oh my. Was I? Yes. Of course we were. TV productions was my drama department. So I never did the stage plays, but I did a TV productions and I did the morning news and I made a lot of fun videos.

[00:27:21] Oh, of course you did. This makes me so happy. Wait. So like, were you behind the camera and in front of the camera doing it all? You have to do everything. And at least in my TV productions, you cycle through. And so sometimes you're producing, sometimes you're behind the camera, sometimes you're directing the show, sometimes you're the anchor. And so I did a little of everything, but my real, my real passion was making funny videos with my friends. And then did you have any idea that you would essentially be doing that for your career someday? You know, it all makes sense. Really?

[00:27:51] Uh, I, I filled my, my senior year. I filled my schedule up with TV productions. I was just like, I'll just do it for every, every period. Wait, could you, could they let you do that? I don't think they were supposed to, but they did. You're like, okay. Listen, I'm from Florida. Anything goes. Anything goes. Uh, what's this next segment about? So this next segment guys, I know it seems like it's all been hot gossip, but you know what?

[00:28:17] We're going to get into the hard and hitting, hard hitting news. Um, see how excited I am to get away from the hot gossip. Um, in this segment entitled busy, blessed and books, busy, blessed and in this segment, we're going to talk about what's coming up on Hallmark productions or people that Hallmark

[00:28:43] productions and other productions, but we're going to kick it off with my dear friend who I love so much, Aaron Cahill revealing her wardrobe on mom's the bride. Now I don't want to, I have you watched any of mom's the bride yet? Yes. And I love it. You love it. I have not. I have not watched mom. It is. It is so good. I love Aaron's and Aaron is just so authentically herself. Yes. And for people that don't know, cause this is a Hallmark plus exclusive.

[00:29:12] So, you know, 10 people maybe are watching it. I'll give you my login. If you want it, people. Anybody truly, or I'll pay the $6. Oh my gosh. Wow. I love Aaron so much. I, uh, I have not watched it. This is a show where Aaron Cahill is the host and these daughters, I think are, are, are, are their sons. Uh, so far it's daughters.

[00:29:40] Daughters are helping their moms plan a wedding. Maybe you've seen shows where moms help their daughters plan their weddings, not here on moms, the bride, the daughters are helping the moms plan, plan the weddings and they're like themed weddings. There was a Christmas one. I know that to bring it back to Christmas. Always as we should. Yeah. Um, I love in that scene where the daughter is so excited. I haven't seen it. Oh, it's so cute.

[00:30:08] Aaron has to ask, um, the dad, like the, or not the dad. It's not her dad. Sorry. I'm so sorry to this young woman because I understand as a child, a divorce parent said that could be scarring the husband elect the husband to be the fiance of the mom. He agrees. The husband elect. I've not heard that phrase before. I had a friend use it recently and I just am obsessed with it. It's very formal. My husband elect. Husband. And she said, um, she said, she asked, Aaron asked the husband elect and he was like,

[00:30:37] I guess so. Um, but I know you jump at the chance to have a Christmas wedding. Oh, actually you and Caitlin should renew your vows. Well, we did have a Christmas wedding. It was December. It was December 15th. And there was, but was it also like Christmas themed as much as we could do without it being like weird, you know? Well, I was, I was curious if it got weird. No, there was like, uh, you know, like evergreen and, uh, some Christmas instrumental Christmas tunes as people walked in and stuff. Wait, that's great. Brand. I didn't know that. How did I not know that? That's beautiful.

[00:31:05] We didn't know each other back then, Jack's, but we did it. I think you would have, I think you would have gotten an invite. Yeah. Do you think so? How, how long? Right guy. Right guy. I better be invited to that. I think the save the dates here. Yeah. Uh, it'll be 12 years. So almost as long as Tamara and, um, yes. And almost as long as my parents. Yep. Almost, almost, almost, almost. Dare to dream. Um, dare to dream, dare to dream. You will, you'll get there. Um, so I don't want to say. And your wedding is.

[00:31:35] My husband elect of almost. Almost. We got engaged five years ago on June 18th. Yeah. But it could be any time. It could be any day. Any day I'm waiting. Do you think Aaron needs to in like 10? No, it'd probably be like 20 years on, um, mom's the bride season 21. Aaron is working with my, I guess, niece to plan. That's good though. That's good TV. That's yeah.

[00:32:01] So it would, it wouldn't be mom's the bride, but two's like best friends, the bride. And then we can help you. Yes. Angie's the bride, you know, whatever it is. Um, I don't want to say I influenced Aaron Cahill. Okay. But we've been friends for five years and she knows I rent my clothes. Did you meet on a, did you meet on bubbly sesh? We met on love fallen. Okay. Buried and bodied and buried. Um, we met on love fallen order. Body.

[00:32:30] And, um, I love Aaron so much. That's right. You were a crossing guard in that movie. I was a leaf peeper. I was a leaf paper. Sorry, not a crossing guard. That was so much more than a crossing. How dare I? It's okay. I'm glad that I made an impression on you. I remember your review of that movie. You didn't give me a shout out once. That's can't be true. I know. I remember. Was it before we, it was before.

[00:32:57] No, it wasn't before we met, but we knew each other, but like, we weren't friends, friends yet. It was before. It was before we recorded that episode in a hotel room. No, it was after that. No, it was not. No, that was fall of 18. Was it? We did the movie in 2019. Oh my gosh. I, you, you said, this is, this is, you said the bubbly sesh girls, but you didn't say my name and I remember being like, huh?

[00:33:28] Huh? At two? At two? At the time you were a pair. I'd be like when, when Dan and I do something, people say the deck, the Hallmark guys. And I know I'm included in that. Dan and brand is what I call you. That's fine too, but you're still grouping me in. Actually, you're right. I do say the deck, the Hallmark guys, or just the guys. Yeah. Okay. That's fair. That's fair. That's fair. I think we're pretty sure we said you guys were the best part of the movie.

[00:33:57] I, I get you by now. Thank you. Thank you for that. Anyway. Okay. Anyway, back to Aaron. So Aaron, every time I'm wearing an outfit that she likes, when she asks where I got it, I say, I rented it. Uh huh. Rent the runway. So I just inspired her. Okay. I think it was me. You're saying that she rented her wardrobe for mom's the bride. Okay. No, no. But here's the actual thing. I didn't inspire her. Aaron has been renting clothes from a really cool place called the showroom in Nashville.

[00:34:27] She's been doing it for a while. Now be honest. Is that a higher end than what you're working with? Oh yeah. Okay. Okay. So we, we, we walk into this place and then we probably walk out. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. And Aaron walks in and they're like, Oh my gosh, come on in. We're going to dress you. Like they're so excited to see her. Look at these ensembles. That's not an ensemble. Look at this. Yes. That. She's gorgeous. Look at these outfits.

[00:34:56] Look at these. She is serving looks. She is serving looks. Let's rank these looks and we can do it collectively. Cause I feel like I can get away with that. Um, hang on. I already know. Um, hang on one second. Okay. I got him. Okay. Do you want to go first or me first? Well, let's, let's try to come up with a collective ranking. Cause I feel like, I feel like it's less weird if we're doing it together. Totally. Um, I have, I have a clear favorite and a clear.

[00:35:26] Now for the people that are listening to this. Yeah. Thank you. Um, we have one outfits on the, on the left. That is a jungle inspired. Maybe like a jungle inspired jumpsuit. It's a white background and like Lee and the jumpsuit is cinched with a really nice belt on her tiny little waist. And I don't say that in a creepy way. Okay. Well, it didn't, it came across creepy. Uh, but you're friends. So it's not, I mean, you say you are, I've never seen you two in a room. Actually.

[00:35:56] I have seen each other in a room. So that's not true. We've all been in a room together. I know I said it afterwards. Um, I will say, I think this one's my favorite. Which one? The one that I just said. Oh, it's my least favorite. Oh my gosh. This is not going to go well. But I do love the, the cinched belts and I mean, I love it. I'd like, I actually love the outfit. Well, that brings us to number two, which is a dress.

[00:36:23] It is, uh, almost like metallic color. How would you describe it? I get a shiny metallic cover or like colored. And then she's got, I'm actually really bad at describing things to be honest with you. But again, with the cinched waist, but it's like a, it's like a, it flows out. You can tell even though we can only see the top of it and it just, um, hugs her in all the right places. Okay. Uh, this is my least favorite. It's my favorite.

[00:36:52] Oh my gosh. Are you kidding me? No. Okay. That's what's funny. That's what's hilarious. No, I'm not. I'm not at all. I'm not at all. Now I was a toss up between the other two, but I think I know which direction I'm moving in because of accessories. But I would love to know brand what you think. Do you want me to describe the third one? Yeah, go ahead. The third one is a really nice fitted blazer. Not too fitted.

[00:37:20] You can't, I can't see everything I'd like to see. Um, and what do you mean? That's just too, it's too much Jax. But I know it's not like in a creepy way. It's just like, you can't just say what you want to, and then say, it's not in a creepy way. That's touche. Keep going. Fair. So it's a flowered blazer, and it's really cute. I like this one. Uh, I would say this is, this is three, this is three for me. That's a, this is also three for me. Okay.

[00:37:48] Which means that we both have, we both have four, which is a, like a classy, dark green dress. You would maybe wear to a nice Christmas party. I know. That's why you're like, I mean, yeah, exactly. Yeah. But that's, we have the same, we have the same two and three. We just are on differing sides of favorites. And I, can I ask you before we move on? Cause I know we can't spend the whole time on Aaron Cahill. It's not stopping us. So go ahead. It's not stopping us.

[00:38:18] Um, I'm surprised that the last one isn't your favorite because it is so Christmassy. What do you like so much more about that first? Well, I think it's fun, you know, and I like a matching belt. I think a match, a belt that also goes like, it's also has designs on it. Like the, the jungle. I hear that. You know what? Yeah. No, no, I actually do. That's almost what made me move it up one. But I can't, I can't convince you to move it all up, all the way up to one. You can't do that.

[00:38:48] I mean, honestly, here's the thing about the, the, the dress number two. It's just, it, there's nothing. It doesn't like these other three to me are like, this is, this is, this is an inspired look. And number two, I feel like, and she's pulling them off. Number two, she's pulling it off, but I feel like anybody could. It's just, it's a, it's nice. You know? I don't know. I don't know how to explain it. No, no. You're actually explaining that really well. Right?

[00:39:17] No, because yes, I hear what you're saying. Show now. Is it, is this it? I think it should be. That's the goal now. That because honestly, brand what I, what I think you're saying or what I'm feeling around is that like the dress that she's wearing in my favorite and your least favorite is just objectively a gorgeous dress that would look incredible on a lot of people. It's not really a big swing. Like, of course, she's going to look good at that. Right, that's what I'm saying.

[00:39:42] But number one, like how many people can pull off a jungle inspired jumpsuit? You've literally changed my mind. You've literally changed my mind. Also the fact that you noted that the belt also has the pattern on it, which I think is at. Thank you. You genuinely changed my. Thank you. Thank you. Uh, it did take me a long time to, uh, even recognize that the belt, but once I did, I figured I'd point it out. Well, can I tell you, I decided that that was my least favorite before I noticed the belt.

[00:40:12] And then I noticed the belt as I was talking. And then when you pointed out that the pattern is also in the belt, I'm like, okay, game over. Oh, this is interesting. We have another dress. Uh, this is, or is that, or is that scroll up? Or is that the other, is that the blazer? No, that's not the blazer. No, you're right. Sorry. This is a dress. That's a, there's a lot going on here, but she can pull it off. Although everyone else looks like they're dressed a little plainer. Yeah. It does look like she's kind of trying to steal the shit.

[00:40:41] Does that, is that a textured dress? That is a textured dress. Get out of here. That is a textured dress. It's, but it's, it's perfect. It's perfect. She is perfect. Anything else down here? She is perfect. This is a nice dress too. It's a gorgeous dress. This is a nice dress too. All right. So what you're saying is the show is sucks, but the outfits are great. No, no, no. No, Aaron's really good in this. It's a great, it's actually a sweet show. Okay. It's actually a sweet show. So 10 out of 10 Aaron's looks.

[00:41:10] Um, now we're going to move on to our boy, Jonathan Bennett. Uh huh. General hospital has shared the first look at Jonathan playing Joe Fitzpatrick. Now I remember the news came out that he was going to be, uh, on the general hospital and people were, the Hallmark fans were concerned. They were saying, are you, does this mean no more Hallmark? And he said, of course not. Of course, I'm still going to have to make time for the Hallmark.

[00:41:38] And he's the, and he is, he's hosting all of the, the things he's doing the, uh, the live tour that they're, they're doing, uh, in June, I believe, or July, I believe is when that is. And then I'll, he's at the, I think we'll talk about the experience here a little bit. Uh, so he's, and then I hope we're getting finding Mr. Christmas season three, although I don't think it has been announced. No, I hope so too. And I will say, look, Jonathan Bennett, first of all, think he's a talented guy.

[00:42:08] I think he's a really nice guy. Hardest working man in show business. We thought that was Corey Sevier. Get out of here. It's actually Jonathan Bennett. My man is doing Broadway. My man is doing carnival cruises. My man is hosting and producing and creating reality series. He's, he's like leading the way in Hallmark, like get out of here. Like he is doing so much in addition to being what I assume is an incredible husband and dog dad. Yeah. I've actually talked to the dad, the dog.

[00:42:37] Um, what does the dog say? Underwhelmed underwhelmed for real. Oh, cause Oh no. So James, his husband is the favorite, right? I think so. And honestly, who can blame the dog? Like James is wonderful. James is wonderful. I mean, America, like amazing race. Are you kidding me? Country singer. Have you heard his music? Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. I'm sorry. I'm not trying to mean what he does as a country singer.

[00:43:02] It's just the fact that I am so obsessed with amazing race that I'm like, forget it. What are you, what are you, when are you going to go on the amazing race? What are you waiting on? What are you waiting on? What are you waiting on? Nothing. My sister and I were like in like the, the, the thing before you get flown to LA for like the thing. Oh my gosh. So you've gone through the process. Well, we've gone through the process. How many, how many calls were you on? Three, three calls. Well, no, not three calls.

[00:43:32] It was like initial tape, then asking for more stuff, then an interview. I think then one more thing to maybe like four things. Um, that's what we call them in the best. We call them four things. We call them four things. Four things. Things. Not stages. No, no, not stages. It's four rounds. No, it's things. Four things. But they, they ended up having like, yeah, I get it. Other pairs of sisters, you know, when now we have to wait till my nieces are a little older. Right. Cause it's adjourned.

[00:44:02] And unless you get out early and then, you know, but we wouldn't, we won't. That's the problem. The problem is you're going to do amazing race. I've never actually seen the show. Here's the thing. I see the, the tray, the previews after survivor ends and I'm like, this show looks dumb. It's not. All right. Maybe I'll give it a shot. Maybe I'll give it a shot. It's really, really not. Going back to Jonathan Bennett, just to try to get us back on track. Yes. Yes. Yes. I don't have much more to say about this.

[00:44:32] Well, I don't watch general hospital. Yeah. The epi for his first episode aired on the 18th on Monday. And that's exciting. He was tasked. I guess he's a cop. Yeah. With arresting one of poor Charles's own detective Joe Fitzpatrick. Does this look like a Joe Fitzpatrick to you? Honestly? Yes. Yeah, it does look like a Joe. Like it does. He, he, I mean, seriously, I'm wondering what he does for relaxation.

[00:45:00] Cause I, I mean, I think he's just so. Some people just want to work. I get it. Some people just want to work. I get it. I don't, I'm not one of those people, but some people just want to work. You feel like you work a lot though, right? Uh, I work a lot to make sure I don't have to work a lot. Amen. Amen. Amen. God is good. Oh, I'm sorry. I was pulling up. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not doing, I'm not doing other things. I'm pulling up. I swear I'm pulling up the next link, but now I'm getting an ad from mantra.

[00:45:29] Oh, that's okay. Now what do we have? What, what is next? Okay. So up next. And I think that this one is really fun. We are. Oh, Oh, maybe this link isn't the best link. Sorry. No, I'll just have this. I'll just have it in the background. This is, this is a Nikki DeLoach and her writing partner. Yes. Megan McNulty, who I think is just such a delight. Oh, sorry. I'm coming up with a video too. I love this guy too. Have you been on his show?

[00:45:58] I've not been on a show, but I have, I've been on a show with Eric, but not his show. Yes. I like that. Megan puts her email address and her zoom info at the tiny tutor.com. That's a cute. That's a cute one. I think she is. First of all, these women are incredible. Yes. I think they're such a great writing team. I think they're, I don't know Megan. Well, just know her and. She's a tiny tutor. And she is so small. That's what you need to know. She's a tiny tutor. She's a tiny tutor. She's a small girl.

[00:46:28] She's so small. And Nikki DeLoach, as we know, is like one of the most incredible women on the planet. Like so wonderful. They are such a great writing team. They are also like a really incredible pair of best friends. And look, you know, your girl likes mysteries. So the fact that we are getting on May 23rd, which is justice. I for not. It is. It is. Yes. And I true justice and I for not. Did you watch the first true justice movie? I sure did. Did you like it?

[00:46:58] I actually did not see it. Okay. It was. I was off that week for some reason. So I'm going into this one blind. I, even though I said that I would watch the first one, I have not. But you have time before the premiere tonight. I have time. I have a feeling Jack's that I'm not going to get around to it. Really? I have a call. Call it a sneaky feeling. Interesting. Interesting.

[00:47:28] I'll say this. Nikki DeLoach, national treasure, hallmark royalty can do no wrong. I have no doubts. This is going to be good. I do think it's funny. And look, I hallmark. I want you. I want it to be clear. Not that you care what I think, or you wouldn't have fired me. But I think that I bubbly says girls, how did he didn't buried embodied? I do want to be clear, though. I'm not complaining about this at all. But they're like, we're not doing mysteries. We are doing mysteries. Nevermind.

[00:47:57] We're not doing that. Look, please. They're not doing them on the mystery channel. That's my whole thing. I think they should. I'm trying. Maybe if I keep talking about it, they'll finally do it. Can you imagine a 24-7 all year Christmas channel with the oldies on it? People would love it. They'd lose their minds.

[00:48:26] I have absolutely zero doubts, Jax, that it would get better ratings than the mystery channel currently gets. Whatever they're playing on that channel. 100%. 100%. Yes. 100%. That's my feeling on this. Completely agree. Completely agree. What's great is that they used to be Hallmark movies and mysteries, and then they changed it to just Hallmark mysteries. And then they took the mysteries off the channel.

[00:48:58] All right. We got one more story? Yes. And the final story that we have is the Hallmark Channel Christmas experience. Oh, it's happening, folks. It's happening. For the very reasonable price of just thousands of dollars. Well, let's get this is November 27th every weekend until December 20th. And this is the downer, Kansas City. Not that Kansas City is not a wonderful city.

[00:49:25] It's just that it's too far for me to go without. Oh, I was going to say, what's the downer? Because it's lovely. Yeah, no, lovely city. Lovely city. I think the interesting thing is you really do. You want to know what I actively hate? What do you actively hate? Let me see if I can go back. What do you notice about this tree? It's. Describe it for the listeners. It is looks like a teardrop. So it's it's shaped like a teardrop. Right.

[00:49:54] And then what are they doing with the lights? They're strong, like strategically just like down in in like vertical is what you're looking at. I hate this. Why? I don't like the way that the lights are Jack's vertical lights. It's lazy. Take the lights and circle around the tree like we've been doing for generations, but it looks like it's holding the tree and it doesn't look like the trees healthy.

[00:50:24] It looks like the tree. That's actually true. Needs to stay in a net because it's way sick. It's like, you know what? Stay in bed. You're on bed rest. Brand. This can't keep happening where you actually start to genuinely convince me. Right. You've convinced me because I realized the reason why I like it is because I was thinking the tree was sick and they're holding it together. It's a true. It's not wrong. Vertical. You're not wrong. I've seen this in other big cities. It's lazy.

[00:50:54] It doesn't look good. I think it's just I think it's because you're lazy. Maybe it's a way for them to maybe they think that it looks taller, you know, because it's the stretching of the lights. It does look sick. It does look sick. That's what I'm saying. You can't see. We think we can you imagine. Can you imagine just going to the going over there to the rock Rockefeller Plaza and seeing

[00:51:23] the tree with vertical lights? Um, no, thank you. Can I say that? No, thank you. Absolutely. No, you've brand you've completely convinced me like you want to hear you. You want to look at the tickets? Yeah. Like so here's what we have here. Um, be merry, which early bird. I believe that early bird pricing is still going on. Um, is two fifty nine standard two nine.

[00:51:53] Now that's for one weekend. Yes. Yeah, but you get to watch the stars on stage. Yep. You get the stars on stage. You get a 20% off additional stars on state. You get three shows with the stars on stage, but then you get a 20% discount for additional panel shows. That means you don't get all of them. So there's more than three stages. There's more than three shows. There's more than three shows. I guess it's like panel. Well, let's look at the schedule.

[00:52:22] Let's go to the schedule here. Yeah. Oh my gosh. This I hate the way this is structured. This is overwhelming stars on stage. There's three. Why do they have it? Like it's someone's calendar. No, like, you know what I mean? Like that's like your work calendar. Okay. So there's three every day. So there's nine stars on snow. Okay. There's seven stars on stage. Mm hmm. Okay.

[00:52:49] So that means you only get to go to three of them. Unless for 20% off, you want to add some more. Yeah. Okay. So the, you get the stars on stage, you get the 20% off additional stars on stage. So you could, you could go to all of them, but I can't imagine it coming out cheaper than just going with the find magic, find magic package, which is $6.99 or standard $7.49. You get, you get the group photo, right?

[00:53:19] Yeah. And then you get some sort of create and learn workshop. I gotta be honest. I'm not paying extra for a workshop. See, I'm gonna be honest. You like a workshop. Vince me. I love a workshop. Convince me. Otherwise, there's just there. Okay.

[00:53:32] Maybe I'm wrong, but it's like, anytime I go somewhere, uh, like Christmas con, for example, and there's things to see on stage, there's stars to see there's shopping to do, or you can go sit down and make a wreath. It's like, I don't want to, I, I find sitting down and making a wreath at home. I'm not paying to go somewhere where there's things going on to sit down and make a wreath.

[00:54:02] I hear that. I love to learn. I know you do. You're an inquisitive girly. That's what we call you. You know what I also love to do in an event like that? What's that? Sit. I like to sit every once in a while. I know. Not the whole time. Not the whole time. You are famously a sitter. That is something. Oh, that's not the people. Now, designated seating for stars on stage shows. Yeah.

[00:54:31] So you get a nice spot. So I feel like this makes sense. These two packages. Yeah. Yeah. Totally. Like I probably wouldn't do it. Uh, even though like I like, like I obviously I love the Christmas movies. Uh, maybe, maybe if I haven't, hadn't done this show and I hadn't met the people, maybe I would be more inclined to do it. Um, I'm pretty lucky. Yeah.

[00:55:00] So, um, Oh, you get a Hallmark movie watch party. That's fun. That's with any, that's with any of these. Oh, wait. Huh? You see that right there? Oh, that's actually cool. I didn't realize they should sell that even a little bit more like access to the premium tree ring. It's like a key. What about that? I don't know. Sounds dirty. Sounds dirty. I know. I thought so too. I think it does sound dirty. Yeah. And that's not just us.

[00:55:29] Two people can't be wrong here. Two people get. Yeah, exactly. A nice skating rink by the tree, like at Rockefeller Plaza. No, they shouldn't call it a tree ring though. I don't know. I don't even know what that means. What do you, what is it? Is it like the, is it the thing that goes around the tree? Can you touch it and make a wish? Like, like it's a, maybe like, but like the ring, like you can go in there, like where the tree is. Maybe it's, you know, the horror movie, the ring. That's what it is. Yeah. It's just like that.

[00:55:59] The premium tree ring. Yeah. Find the magic lounge. I don't even know what does that mean? I can click it. Can you click on it? Yes. Oh, can I click on the, the, the premium tree ring? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Enjoy exclusive inner ring access. Again, I don't know what that means. Me either. And guess what? Everybody has it to all. That's the, that's the lowest package you can get. So everybody has inner ring access.

[00:56:30] Yes. So it's not. So no one's outer ring. Everyone's inner ring. No, because when you get that package, that's the, the, the least expensive package. Okay. And you know, every other package, you get everything that came with the first package. You know what I, you know what I, you know what I bet. You know what I bet. You want to know what I bet? I want to know what you bet. I bet that the, because the tree is outside, right? Anybody could walk by.

[00:56:59] Yes. And watch the Hallmark holiday light shows as they call it all. I like that. They capitalize each of these. This is a TM. It has to be. It is a TM. Hallmark holiday light shows TM. Yep. Um, so you can attend, you could be on the outer ring if you will, and still see the show. Yeah. Or you could get exclusive. Exclusive access.

[00:57:27] I really don't like the phrasing exclusive inner ring access. It's just something about it. That's not working for me. What's the magic lounge? It sounds like something that like they tell you when you're growing up at Christian camp that like you need to be married for your spouse to have exclusive inner ring access. Oh man. Ain't that the truth? Ain't that?

[00:57:55] Uh, step into the find magic lounge, a welcoming space to relax. Reach. This is it. So this is just a place to go. It's just the lounge at the Westin. It's the lounge at the Westin. That's literally what it is. Yeah. I love chargers though. I love. All right. But this is what's going on here. Let me see what I can do here. Can I go boom and then boom? Yeah, I can.

[00:58:22] Uh, the make memories package. Jack's is a whopping. What is this? The, so that's find magic standard pricing. Seven 49. The make memories is a whopping $1,000 more. One. One thousand. Seven hundred and ninety nine dollars. The most tax checks. That's 18 hundo.

[00:58:51] That's 18. That's that's that's just that's a lot. Uh, okay. It's a lot. Read this for me if you don't mind. The make memories package is our most immersive offering. I hope so. I freaking hope so. I better be a part of the ring. I don't want outer ring. I don't want inner ring. I want to be the ring. You are the ring. Sorry. I interrupt. You are. No, it's true. We are the ring.

[00:59:21] We paid a lot of money. I'm sorry. It's almost $2,000, but hey, it's created for fans who want to truly elevate a weekend filled with exclusive access and meaningful moments. Guests enjoy more opportunities to connect with Hallmark stars and experience every stars on stage show taking place that weekend. It includes everything in the be merry and find magic packages. Plus a whole lot more. I mean, what those things are. You get to sleep with one of them. Like what? What? What is this price jump? It is insane. Stars.

[00:59:52] All right. What is it? Stars on stage. All shows. So wait, does the. It's the breakfast. Does the breakfast. Does the find magic not include all of the shows? I don't think it does. Um, I think you still just get the three. You just get designated seating. Oh my gosh. Okay. So you get to go to all the shows. Now what I'm interested in, maybe we can find this out. What does it cost to add a show to one of the spots?

[01:00:21] Right. I know. So you get to go to all the shows, but again, this is just for one weekend. This is not all four weekends. This is one week. One weekend. Saturday showcase. Can you click on what the Saturday showcase about? Uh, includes a signature evening event. I wish it was more vague featuring below Hallmark stars, live music, a playful moment of improv.

[01:00:52] It's a moment. It is a playful moment. Okay, folks. It's not an improv show. No, it's a moment. What's great is if like someone complains like, Hey, where was the improv? Well, did you say hi to somebody? That was that was a playful moment of improv. Uh, this special night brings heartfelt performances, unexpected last and the spirit of Hallmark to life.

[01:01:21] Again, I don't know what it means. Saturday showcase walk the red carpet is weekend one. Oh yeah. The weekends are different. Weekend two is a gilded age affair. Um, you couldn't pay me $1,800 to go to something called a gilded age affair. I'll be honest with you. That's I love picturing you being thrown into that. Oh gosh, Christmas and hope Valley. Sure. And then, oh, I like this one. The jingle bell jam. I thought you would jingle bell.

[01:01:51] It might as well be bramble jam. They might have you there. Honestly, I'm going to sue them. Exactly. Um, and then what else do we have here? We have the group photo op with the Hallmark stars. I do. That's just a one. That's a group. So you know the other, the other package has that as well. Oh, it does. I'm magic. It says, Oh, you get a photo op.

[01:02:19] Well, then why are they including that as if it's a special? Exactly. But no, the only they get to go to this, the, the showcase though. So exactly. Only they get to go to the showcase. Okay. The exclusive meeting greet breakfast with the homework. That's probably kind of cool. That's nice. Yeah. Yeah. I get to see all these people without makeup on like Melissa. There's, there's, there's no way to bring it all the way back around. Are they, are they sitting at a table?

[01:02:47] Like at the front and there, the stars are all together or they disperse throughout the crowd or there's a good question. You know what? Also, Lisa brings up a wonderful point about the Saturday showcase. There is an S at the end of moments. So it's a playful play, playful moments of improv. So there does have to be more than one, but brother sisters, everyone, you're not going to know like the whole, the night.

[01:03:13] It's just one playful moment after another of improv. Here's the thing. That's how it's called. That's cold life. That's just called like, you can do that for free. That's just called, that's just called waking up in the morning. Unexpected last. They also promise that what you and I have all the time on where does it say that? Yeah, it does. It promises.

[01:03:40] I'm going to go there, not laugh and then sue them for so much money. I did not laugh. Well, not, he did not laugh. And there were no playful moments. Not a one. Yeah, it's just gonna, it's just gonna be one moment after another, after another, which is different than anything else you've ever experienced. A commemorative art print pre-signed.

[01:04:09] That actually sounds kind of cool. Pre-signed though. I love they're letting you know they're covering their bases legally that you're not going to get them to sign it. Like they're not going to be signing it with you. They're watching. This is such a cushy gig for the Hallmark actors. Like this has to be such an easier weekend than Christmas con. Christmas con, you're grinding. Yes. You're working for that money.

[01:04:37] But you're making, I would think more money. What I need to find out, I will, I will, I will ask around and find out. Like, like a regular person, not a Tyler Hines who has a line out the door the whole time. Like a normal, like a regular person. Like, uh, like our sweet friend Britt Bristow who did, who did Christmas con. She had a steady line, but she could breathe. Right.

[01:05:08] Like, is she getting paid? Would she get paid more for that or for this? Because we know she's not getting paid for Bramble Fest. So which, if, if we do a Christmas con or the Christmas experience. So I would think, and I, I am, I don't, I actually don't know. How about you ask your friend, uh, Erin Cahill? I feel, I feel bad asking her. I'll ask somebody, but I won't tell you. I won't tell you who, but I will.

[01:05:36] Well, what I do think is because Christmas con, just like other conventions gives them a guarantee and says, no matter what you're making, whatever this is this weekend. I'm wondering, I do think that the hallmark stars as they should be are getting paid for this weekend with hallmark. But I'm wondering if a little bit of it is like, this is part of you doing press for us. Hmm. I'm saying whereas, whereas Christmas con is like, it's something completely separate.

[01:06:02] So they're doing it not as part of press for hallmark at all. Whereas this is like the company that you work for is kind of expecting you to do this event. Right. So I would say that they make more money. But they would have, they would have to work that into their contract. Yeah, they would. Well, yes.

[01:06:24] Or they create an environment where it's like, you should feel honored that you're asked and you want to be booking work because look, um, as actors were coming out of a strike and a pandemic and let's work. Strike, strike, strike. Not again, please. We barely got anything in those negotiations. Um, seize the day. Oh, like newsies, like newsies strike. Oh, I was just thinking of seize the day. Yeah. Is that the song? Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I was just listening.

[01:06:54] Are we going to this? No. No. Can you click on before we wrap this up? I need to know. Dedicated on site guest services. Can you click on that? Because for me, that sounds like it's being safe. Enjoy a decade on site experiences to make memories package. So basically, if you want on site support or guidance, you got to get $2,000 package. Yeah. Yeah. Who do we got? Who do we got going to this? Let's see. Homework stars. Cause this is a tricky thing.

[01:07:23] You have to like pick. Let's look, let's look at this Jacks. And then let's, let's rank our weekends. Okay. Hold on. Wait a second. I, okay. Jumping. Stop it. He's not yelling at me. He's yelling at the thing. It's fine. Week one, which is November 27th, November 29th. So this is right after Thanksgiving, right? Yeah. I have Thanksgiving with your family, maybe all together. Cause mom and dad are getting along right now. Thank you so much.

[01:07:51] And then you fly down to Kansas city. You get to see Andrew Walker, BJ Britt, Brooke Dorsey. Oh, someone's best friend, Aaron Cahill, Hunter King, JB, Jonathan Bennett, as we mentioned, Lacey Chabert, Melissa Peterman. Oh, she's the best. Nikki DeLoach, Scott Michael Foster. Where'd they pull that headshot from? What the heck is Scott Michael Foster? He's done stuff, but I don't know why that headshot is there.

[01:08:22] Janelle Parish. He's currently shooting. Paris is always a good time. Yeah. With Lacey. Has he? Am I done? Am I done? He did a movie with Janelle Parish. He did a movie with Janelle Parish. Yeah. Who's now? Oh, that's right. That's right. Return to office. Yes. Return to office. Who else? Taylor Cole and then Tyler Hines. Okay. Weekend number two, December 4th, December 6th. We have a whole new group almost entirely.

[01:08:52] Allison Sweeney, Brendan Penny, Amelia Ulera, Heather Hemans, your girl. We talked about her. Yes. Holland Roden. Jonathan Bennett is back. Christopher Palaha. Maybe he'll bring his wife. Niall Mayer, Nikki DeLoach. Nikki was there the week one, right? Yes. Yeah. Rachel Boston, Tamara Mowry-Housley. Yes. Tyler Hines is back for a second week. And then Wes Brown. So anyway, do they have one more?

[01:09:21] They have one more person. I think they have one more weekend. Yeah. They're very smart here with their week three, because that is Christmas Con week and they make it Wind Calls the Heart week. Yep. Because, you know, it's like you can't tell Tyler Hines he can't do Christmas Con. No. And it's a different like demographic. Yeah. Different demo. So Benjamin Ayers, 1874. Lord's knocking on your door.

[01:09:46] Ben Rosenbaum, Bethany Joy Lenz, Chris McNally, Aaron Krakow, Jack Wagner, Jill Hennessy. Who's that? Oh, she's the one from, yeah, she's the one from. That's tough, Jill. Jill Hennessy gets a bio coming soon. She didn't see, but no, she's a star and she doesn't need it. Kevin Smith, Kevin McGarry, Lachlan Quornby, Lori. You'll reach that baby. All right. Lori Lachlan, Pascal Hutton, Roan Curtis.

[01:10:15] She's 1874. I love her so much. She has a bio. And then Viv Leacock. Which I love Viv so much. Okay. We have, this is December 18th, December 20th. We have Ashley Williams, Autumn Racer, Catherine Bell, Holly Robinson, Pete. Hey, Hallmark, maybe hire her for a movie again. Put her in a movie? What are you doing? She hasn't been in a movie in like three years.

[01:10:44] Put her in a movie. Like, what are we doing? What are we even doing? Freaking weird. James Denton, Jonathan Bennett. So, oh, Jonathan Bennett is not at Winkles to Heart weekend. So, no, he is. Yeah. Okay. So he won't be a Christmas guy. Oh, wait. That feels like a story. Also. Put that in the hot goss. Yeah. That's in hot goss. What's going on there? Put that in hot goss. What's happening there? Kimberly Sustad, Lindsey Fonseca, Paul Campbell, Bob Buck, my boy, Bob Buck, Vic Webster,

[01:11:14] Will Kemp. All right. Are you ready to rank your weekends? I am. How are you ranking it though? Because I'm ranking it. I actually, there's people I feel like, here's what I want to say. There's probably week weekend. One are people that I really love like Taylor Cole and Aaron Cahill. Um, that I'm like, Oh, but like, I feel like I would have another opportunity to see them. So I'm actually going to rank. Go ahead.

[01:11:42] Week four as my first one, because I want to hang out with Holly Robinson and Pete and she's not in my life. This is a real, like the week four might be the most fun. You get Bob Buck. You get Ashley Williams. The, you get Paul Campbell, the funny people together. Will Kemp's also funny. Like, I, I just feel for me, I, and Kimberly Sustad. Of course it's very funny. Yeah. For me, it's the fact that I am not, I don't really get the opportunity to hang out with

[01:12:12] Holly Robinson, Pete or Lindsay Fonseca. Everyone else I sort of in this group I may like interacted with, but like, I want to hang out with these people that like, I won't get to see. Yeah. I was, I was, I was clicking on Holly's bio to see if they had like a, she's currently filming. Uh, no, but they don't. So no, I do. I do think week four would probably be my pick. And then I would probably go week one.

[01:12:43] Cause it's like, uh, if you were to, this is no knock on Scott, Michael Foster. Don't hear what I'm not saying. But if you were to take him out and slide in, uh, like Palaha or Nile Mater, this would be like a hallmark class. Like a, these are like hallmark legends, right? Like, you know what I'm talking about? Oh, completely, completely. Because like the fact, I mean, it's Lacey. It's Lacey.

[01:13:11] You got your BJ Britt. Right. You got your like Hunter King. Like you've got a nice combination of like old and new. You get Tyler and Andrew together. Together. Yeah. You've got a nice, Melissa Peterman. Like, yes, it's an embarrassment of riches. So I agree. It's week one for me. Then week two. No, no, sorry. It's week four. Week four is number one. Week four, week one. Week two, week three. Yeah. Yeah. And I love Rachel Bachman so much. Although you know what? I'm intrigued by week three.

[01:13:42] Me too. Here's the thing. I actually love all these actors so much. And I want to meet the actors from, um, Hope Valley 1874. But honestly, like, I think it's going to be very when calls the heart seemed. And I'm absolutely. I love, which I love. I love, but like, that's not going to be my absolute. Yeah. Oh, you're not even kidding. It's literally everybody is in the when calls the heart universe, except for Jonathan Bennett. I guess he's hosting would be my guess.

[01:14:12] But brand, this really is something to unpack that he's not at Christmas. Got hostess with the most is. I don't know. I don't know. I, uh, yeah, this is an interesting one. I, I, and I, of the three week of the four weekends, I think that week three would probably be the best for people watching too. Cause it's a different group. Like this is, these are hardies. They're not Hallmark Christmas movie fans. They're hardies. Yeah.

[01:14:40] And you'd get to see Jill Hennessy and Rowan Curtis. I just can't wait to learn anything about Jill Hennessy. I can't wait to learn. She's just like bio coming soon. Does anyone else? No. Does anybody else not have a bio on this? Do you think her, do you think her team? Oh, we click on Lori's. Of course. Lori has one. Yep. Do you think her team just forgot to send one in? Trying to think of who else could not have one. Literally everybody else has one.

[01:15:10] That's crazy. Amelia. Amelia. You think she just put up, they would have pulled from wicked. Amelia wrote a whole novel. That's a whole novel. All right. Oler read up or Oler, Oler read upper. Wow. Wow. Trying to do something with read up, you know, like Amelia Oler read up on my bio. Oler read up on it like that. Yeah. Yeah. Something like that. Yeah. All right. All right. I, uh, I feel like we've done pretty good here. Yeah.

[01:15:39] We thought this might be like a 25 minute show, but look at us. We went an hour 15. No one's listening to this. No, but we are fun. I will say, for those of you, I should have said this at the beginning of the show. You should go watch this on YouTube because you get to see the stories and stuff. It might be more fun. I'll share, I'll share it in my stories on YouTube. And what you have stories. No, no. I'll share the YouTube link on my stories. If that's what you're trying to do now, you let me know.

[01:16:09] All right. Okay. Uh, we did it everybody. Congratulations to us. This is, uh, was the first ever installment of the hallmark. Hallmark my words with Jack's. Hopefully, hopefully it'll return. Hopefully. Let us know. There's hallmark. My words with Jack's breaking news bi-weekly and by, by, I mean, every other week. Right? Not twice a week. Although if it really takes off, could be every day.

[01:16:38] It could be every day that we log on and have to do this. Goodbye, everybody. Bye. You're about to hear some ads that help keep the lights on here in the old studio. Thanks for listening or don't listen. It's really up to you at this point. It's at the end of the show. I mean, you're listening to me. Hi. But here they come. I promise they're coming. Yep. Here they are. Happy day.
