Hallmark My Word #2 - Hallmark News with Jacks

[00:00:02] Hello, I'm Jacks and welcome to Hallmark My Words. This week on the show we'll be talking about how I know a divorced haircut when I see one. I told you guys. Why are you talking, why are you telling me? You didn't believe it. You didn't believe it. Brian watched episode one of Hallmark My Words and he was so jealous that he wasn't there. I said you're not going to do another one with hell.

[00:00:31] Oh man, Dan though, still out. Was Dan a little bit like I can't touch this with a 10 foot pole? Brian, I'm honored that you're here. Dan is conveniently planning like days out of the office around. I'm like, hey, I'm doing Hallmark My Words on this day and he's like, uh oh. Let me check my calendar. Wait, so he's not in the office today? He's not in the office today. Oh my gosh, I just thought he was doing, not doing it.

[00:01:00] Wait, have I, he won't even be in the office? We'll see what happens with episode three. We'll see. Yeah. We'll see in a couple of weeks. Oh my word. He does seem skeptical when you bring it up to him and he dodges it pretty hard. That's understandable. That's understandable. I get it. For those that somehow missed the first episode of this, this is a bi-weekly or tri-weekly or whenever we want to and have enough to talk about.

[00:01:26] Jax brings us a handful of news that are, that's out of the Hallmark and or made for TV movie space. Uh, it could be adjacent. It wasn't now we did this not too long ago. Was it hard to find more stories? No, not at all. The funny thing is this time I brought a Jack size handful and I have small hands. I think last time I brought a Brian or brand, I don't know how big your hands are, but I think honestly, I think we have pretty similar size. Do you think we do? Yeah.

[00:01:56] We're going to measure a Bramble fast. Yeah. I know I'm, I know my hands are smaller, but, um, we'll be taking bets on that because I like to make everything into a competition. Okay. I am still foggy though on what you mean about this. Oh, last week, let Brandon, we talked, we had the best time, but we talked for probably an hour and a half. So this time I brought a smaller, more condensed information. But we did, we taught, I was thinking Jack Wagner hands, not Jack's, but a lot of it. Those are giant. Sorry. You know what they say?

[00:02:26] I, you, we talked a lot about the, the specific, like, it wasn't like you brought a ton of stories. It was just, we really, we really got into it, especially towards the end. We, we just, we really did. We went through all that. We were basically selling the, um, Hallmark Christmas experience for them. Like they should have been paying us for that. People loved it. Speaking of which new sponsor this week, Hallmark Christmas experience. Just kidding. Uh, send that money, send that check. Uh, okay. Let's dive into it, Jack's.

[00:02:55] What do we have first? What's the first, uh, segment called again? So we're kicking it off with the hot goss. Hot goss. Wow. I love it. Um, the tea is hot and we are happy to serve it. So, okay, let's dive into women in STEM. Kimberly Williams Paisley earns honorary doctorates with her, with her husband, Brad Paisley, which I'm less interested in.

[00:03:20] Um, this woman is such a delight and Belmont university gave her an honorary doctorate. And I always want to support my girl, Kimberly Williams Paisley. I think not only has she been in my life, in my world since, you know, the nineties with father of the bride, I love her and Ashley together. I think she's an incredible woman.

[00:03:44] And I also think that, um, she uses her, her position of power and influence among a very conservative crowd, very responsibly and does a lot of charity work with, I think it's her, um, her organization called the store where people can come in Nashville and shop at their food insecure. So I just love this woman and you know, Dr. Kimberly Williams Paisley, if you're nasty,

[00:04:14] I'm very excited for her. What are we, what do we think about honorary doctorates? Do we like, what, what, what purpose do they hold? Cause it's not like, it's a good, like if some, if I, you know, I know that, uh, Mayor Knox white did not give me a statue, but if I, if I emailed Mayor Knox white and I said, Mayor Knox white, well, could you contact one of the colleges and give me an honorary degree? Uh, do you think that they could do that? And he said, absolutely. No problem.

[00:04:44] Bran love you. Love to show, love everything you stand for. And then he gave me one, like, what can I apply for jobs with an honorary? I think it just elevates your stature and says like this, this guy's out there earning things. You think so? I think so. Totally. I guess it's, it's supposed to be for outstanding accomplishments in a certain field. Okay. So which field of medicine did she accomplish outstanding? Like the, I think maybe we're just doing good stuff.

[00:05:14] So a doc, an honorary doctor, do you, cause is it just generic or like, we're going to give you one to the school of computing and you're like, and I'm like, is it just, is it a category? It can't be a category. It might just be outstanding person, doctor. Like you're a doctor. Wait, wait, go back up. It says, okay, look how cute they are. Hold on. I keep getting at a political. Yeah. But anyway, go ahead. Zach Brown band love and fear tour, baby. Yeah. That's not a campaign ad. You're going to that.

[00:05:44] Yeah. I think I agreed to that. You did agree to that, but, but Dan's been waiting on your answer. That's right. She describes a ceremony as truly, where is it at? Belmont. Belmont. Yeah. Probably down South here. Yeah. That's in Nashville. Yeah. Yeah. That's in Nashville. And it's interesting. I guess that, you know, it's look when you have people like Brad Paisley and Kimberly

[00:06:12] Williams Paisley, like I would want to award them anything I can to make them more invested totally in my university. And also they are gifts to the community of Nashville. So why not award them with this distinct honor? And look at them. Look at them. Just look at them. It looks right. It looks right. It does look right. I mean, yeah, absolutely. I think you're right. You're honest. I think you do as a university. It probably is good, not press, but it's good to get people in your universe and in your, you know, involved.

[00:06:43] Yeah. Maybe should we start awarding? Oh, that's interesting. Do we have Bramble Fest or the marathon? We give out, we invite some. One hundred percent. I could see that. I could see that maybe being a thing that really pulls people into the door. I don't know what the door is, but. Wait, Bram, can they see my full, my full ass email here? No, no, no. I go off. I go, I go to and fro. I only show the screen when I want to.

[00:07:12] I know that honestly, I don't even care with more of a curiosity. No, they can't see your email, but now they're all going to be curious. Now they're going to want to know. In our, no, no, there's nothing in there. I think there was some Botox, like people trying to get me to do more Botox. I've had enough people. No. Okay. Jax, you know, when you send an email, I can't see your inbox, right? I thought that was my inbox that you had up.

[00:07:38] No, this is the email that you, you thought that I logged into your email for this? No, no, no, no, Bran. I feel so silly because guess how many unread emails I also have. Yeah, a lot. Like that much. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You should get an honorary doctorate on email. Surely. That's what you need. Wait, I feel, I feel so silly now. No, no, no. I see how you got there. Yes. I don't, I don't. No, I don't. That was dumb. No, I don't mess with like a spam emails or promotional emails.

[00:08:07] I just kind of let them sit there. Same thing. So they just compile. No, I just, I think I saw that what would be for normal people, a jump scare of the amount of emails that were unread. And I was like, oh, he's in my inbox. Yeah. I wasn't going to question how you got there. No, it's interesting. It's like on my phone, I am very, uh, zeroed out. I don't want any notifications for any reason, but like the inbox, it doesn't bother me. It's just like, what? Like I, I get the email. I know what's an important one and what's not. So yeah, we know what's why we know what's why. Um, okay.

[00:08:35] Number two in the hot. Moving on to, um, like I said, I'm very inspired by Kimberly Williams Painsley moving on to a woman that I'm, I, I, I, I'm going to live by the, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. And just report this like the journalist that I am. Sure. Um, Candace Kimmer Bray is expecting two grandkids. Wow. At the same time, her son is having a baby. Her daughter's having a baby. Oh my gosh.

[00:09:06] I did. I saw, um, was Natasha. Uh, Natasha. Yes. With her husband, who's a cutie patootie and like, it was a child actor. I don't know why I can't make this. There we go. I'm so happy for them. I think that, you know, it's going to be cute. These little, I think Natasha called it with her brother, like cutie cousins or incoming loading. I believe that Candace Cameron Bray said candy Graham is ready to be activated.

[00:09:36] So I'm sure that as a family, they're going to get a lot of mileage out of this. I think it will be interesting to see if they decide to show their kids on social media. I'm thinking that they will. Okay. And, um, I think that they will be bringing them right into the fold of being a family. Do you judge that? You judge people that post their babies on Instagram? I don't judge it.

[00:10:00] I think that it is interesting, the world that we are living in that, um, when they get to a certain age, um, you're making choices that will really affect the rest of their lives. And there will be a very public imprint for them. So like, I don't show any of the kids in my life on my Instagram, unless it's for an acting thing. And it's something that they want me to share.

[00:10:26] And it's, it's like that rather than, I mean, I would be posting pictures of my nieces constantly. If this was like, you know, Facebook circa 2004, I am obsessed with them. But I, yeah, I think it's, I think it's, um, especially when you have a platform like this and so many people are going to see it, it'll be interesting. But yeah, Candy Graham is fully ignited. They are having a pretty good little, pretty good one. Candy Graham is great. Candy Graham is great.

[00:10:55] You know, what's interesting is her son's name is Lev, which is a unique name. Yeah. Lev's wife's name is Elliot's, which is an intro, which is a unique name for a female. I love the name Elliot. It's great name. Yeah. I wonder if she calls herself Ellie. Probably not. Maybe. Hmm. Cause we know we've not married to a man.

[00:11:23] Well, that's what I was getting at. I was like, I wonder if that was a holdup at all for the family. We don't want people thinking something. Um, I will say Candy Graham is great name. That's a really good name. Candy Graham is great. And these, I'm sure these, like, they seem like they are a very loving family, like to each other and have a strong family unit with each other. So I think that these babies will be born in lots of love. There you go.

[00:11:52] Now we have got to talk about Tyler Hines's house call. What is this guy doing? He has fever and mania as if he needed to ramp it up even more. Like what is happening? He's just, so he just, what's the story here? Look at him. Look at his face. You guys look at his face. How about him listening to hot country though? Did you see that? Yeah. Of course. He's like doubling down on that. Oh, and he's got beautiful flowers.

[00:12:22] Yes. And it's cute. Wait, what is his dog's name? I always forget. Please don't come for me, Heine. Oh, what was the dog's name? I do know the dog's name. We know it. We both know it. We both know it. Of course. We both know it. Yeah. I don't, I, what is, why did this happen? So this is great. Tyler Hines is like now sort of, you know, I guess going to be making Heine's house calls. Jen Silliman, who's a really incredible woman is making a documentary about the fandom. Yes. I have seen this.

[00:12:51] So I'm excited for her. I think she's an incredible. Rusty is the name of the dog. Rusty. Rusty James. Rusty James. He likes the country. It's rusty. You know, it's, it's rusty. I think the only thing that is unfortunate about this, I'm very happy for this woman and for all Heine's, but now even more scammers are coming out of the woodwork. So yes. So there was a followup article to this. Also, this woman looks so happy and she's so cute. I want to give her a hug.

[00:13:18] Like I genuinely see the joy and like surprise on this woman's face and it's giving me life right now. Like, I love this. What's not giving me life are the scammers that are like coming out of the woodwork. So please be safe people. Unless you, you know, see Rusty and Tyler and one of his weird little bucket hats, you know, know that if someone's approaching you in your DMS for money or like, Hey, I want to do, I want to do more of these, like get, send me money so I can do it.

[00:13:48] Yeah. Or money or nudes. Please don't send your nudes. Don't do it. I didn't know that. Stop sending your nudes to Jack's. No nudes. I know. That's what I said. I didn't, uh, Send the nudes. I didn't know that nudes were a part of this. I thought it was just. I'm assuming people are sending nudes. Is that wrong to think? I wouldn't be surprised by anything. I wouldn't be surprised. Honestly.

[00:14:15] So I do, uh, notice that this, he gives a shout out to lucid motors, the, the EV, the, which is, is what brand is what you're saying. This is an ad. Yes, it is. No, no, no, no, no. It's not an ad. I, but I wonder if they get, they gifted him a car in exchange for a handful of posts where the, where the vehicle was featured in it.

[00:14:43] Cause it's not like he's like, get the EV and then I'll come to your house or something. It's, it's, it's an organic. It's featured. No, but those are still, those are still ads, right? Like, even if it's organic, it's still. Well, I don't know. I've seen other posts with him with this car. So I do think that the car has, is playing a role in this, but also, you know, he wouldn't do it if it wasn't from the heart. So there is that part of it too. So no, totally. I mean, we know that Tyler absolutely loves this.

[00:15:13] Like we've seen him at the events. He's able to, you know, just really connect with everyone in such a genuine, meaningful way. Like it's really fantastic what he's done for, um, for the fandom, but he did pull off the stunt in a lucid gravity. That's right. Entertainment, entertainment now is putting it, putting two and two together here. Yeah. Yeah. That's my, they're great. Office done in the lucid gravity. That's a good looking car.

[00:15:43] It really is. It's a good looking car for a good looking dog. Listen, I can't, uh, Rusty James would accept nothing less. Yes, that's right. He, uh, took his, uh, mom for a joy ride and the, uh, lucid, the lucid air, uh, and another video. And you know what? I can't blame him one bit. I can't blame him. Absolutely not. If, uh, if, uh, if lucid, if lucid contacted us and was like, Hey, we'll give you a free car. All you gotta do is post a couple of videos and organically have it in it.

[00:16:10] I'd have to ask you to stop doing videos. Yeah. I was like, okay, can you stop it? Are we ever going to see Tyler? Yeah. Brand's like going around just doing like a pilgrimage. Dr. House calls. I'm a doctor now. Are we ever going to see Tyler's girlfriend? Um, I mean, who even knows if she's real? Mm-hmm. Okay. Do we know? We don't know if she's real. We have some insight here. I didn't know about this. She's real. We don't know. What does she do?

[00:16:41] We know she's real. We know she's been at events. No, we know that she's a vet. We know she's been at events. We know she's been at events. Oh, I thought you said we know that she's a vest. Was she wearing a vest? Was she wearing a vest and is she a vet? I can't speak to either of those things, but hopefully we'll get to the bottom of this case soon. But what we have gotten to the bottom of is, unfortunately, as we all know, the way home has been canceled, but I love the way they are giving a shout out to Netflix.

[00:17:10] Like take us on. And you know what, babies? You would be excellent for Netflix. Netflix, please pick up The Way Home. I think it is a fantastic show. We need to keep telling these stories. What do you guys feel about the cancellation of The Way Home? Well, I, you know, I think it's time for this iteration of the show on Hallmark Channel. The show was, Jack, I don't know if you know this, originally created for Netflix.

[00:17:39] Yeah. Didn't Lisa Hamilton Daly bring it to Hallmark? She did. She said, I'm bringing this new show and I'm getting rid of all the old people. And now she's gone. And now she's gone. And the old person, Michelle Vickrey back. So, you know, do the math. But, and the show has gotten worse as it's gone on.

[00:18:00] Um, but I, I, there's a lot of, I would suspect that if it went somewhere else that it might get new life. I'll say it that way. How about that? I agree with you. You know, it's like when you, uh, when a, when a professional sports team fires their head coach and hires a new one and then suddenly they're like better like the Knicks, the Knicks last year, uh, were a good team. They made it to the second, second round of the playoffs, I think.

[00:18:30] And then they fired their head coach to bring in a new one. And now they're in the final. So this happened with the, the night golden Knights, the Vegas Knights. There you go. Their coach. Now they're in the Stanley cup final. Same thing. So, you know, it's in four baby. It's happening tonight at MSG. Well, you, this is going to come out probably after we already have one. But I love that you're confident. Well, yeah, we, we won, we won two games at their house. There you go. Look at you following along with the Knicks. Yes. I'm a New Yorker and I'm a basketball girl. I know you are.

[00:18:59] Um, uh, I'll ask you what they asked. Uh, our president, uh, favorite Knicks player. Brunson. There you go. That's what he said. Second favorite. Ah, the other one. Ben Stiller. Ben Stiller. Timothy Shelby. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm not a, I'm not even a huge Knicks fan, but I love my city. It's hard to not, I'm sure, get swept up into the Knicks fever. Yeah. Knicks fever.

[00:19:29] Um, going back to the story at hand here, they were at the ATX festival. Yes. And they had a panel and they said that we want to go to Netflix. Maybe Netflix call us. Yeah. And honestly, there is something that I love about this. I love cause I'm the same way. Like as actors, as artists, like we ain't too proud to beg. We want to work. We want it to happen. Netflix call them infuse some much needed new energy into this show.

[00:19:57] You have an incredible team of people working on it. And now it just needs Netflix touch. There we go. Uh, Kyler said the industry is not an easy one to navigate. And so we had to just kind of go with the flow in a sense and everybody put their heart into it. You know, a land tree never gives up hope. So we always, always wonder, and maybe, you know, shout out Netflix. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. That's what I'm saying.

[00:20:23] I'm sure, uh, a hallmark who was, uh, like, this is their show that they have propped up at ATX fest. I'm sure. I'm sure they were thrilled about that. Yeah. I'm sure. But I love that. I'm like, you know what? Whatever. Yeah. You gotta listen. You gotta listen. You gotta get out there. You gotta get out there. You gotta get out there. I think it's time to, to close out hot goss. Yes. And move. But no, I think we're going to take a break before we move on to our next segment.

[00:20:53] Oh, look who is ready today. Producer Jets. The producer. Uh, we'll be right back. Dr. Producer. She's a doctorate. She's a doctorate. We're back everybody. Uh, that was some serious hot goss. Yeah. Very excited about this next segment, which is also gossip. But different. Different. Right, Jax? Yeah. No, this is. Yeah, you're right.

[00:21:23] All of us gossip, honestly, but I'm a journalist. So it's through different lenses. Mm-hmm. This next segment we're going to dive into is called Roses and Thorns. Roses and Thorns! Brandon, that's your voice, right? That is my voice. I did it just, you can see me, right? Actually, no, I can't see you that well. You see, he's in your email, right? Can you not see me? He's in my email. All I can, I can, but I couldn't see your, yeah, I couldn't see your mouth moving. Your tiny hands. That's okay. My tiny hands. Yes.

[00:21:53] I get it. I get it. So you're tiny, not Jack Wagner-like hands. Right. So I just want to say, for the record, I told y'all that Benjamin Ayres had a divorce haircut. Y'all doubted me. Yes. And in our defense, Jax, you brought this to our attention during a preview show. Right. So we were all kind of taken aback. Is this the proper time for this? Don't know. Hang on. No, I'm going to call. I'm at, no, no, no. There's a flag on the play. Oh no.

[00:22:23] Time out. Flag on the play. Flag on the play. Flag on the play. Flag on the play. No, I can see if you were like, is this the proper time for this? Fine. I get that. You could have said that. You doubted me. We talked about it. You weren't above talking about it, but y'all doubted me and I was right. I actually think my exact quote was, we're not that type of show. And now look at us. Now look at us. Now look at us. Ryan Popola doubted you real hard. Yeah. Yeah. I know.

[00:22:52] I knew I was right. I knew I was right. So you spilled the beans. Yeah, you did. That's Ayers was potentially in splits fill. And now it is more or less been confirmed. Is that my understanding Jax? Well, yes, because he did. There was a hard launch on Instagram. Benjamin Ayers. And also, I want to thank everyone who brought this to my attention. I had four sources that brought this to my attention and I appreciate all of you.

[00:23:22] I don't know if you want to be shouted out. So I'm not shouting you out. But thank you for bringing this my sources famously don't get shouted out. They do. That's why I'm not doing good for you. No, listen, you're a journalist. You're a journalist. True journalist. I'm a woman of my word. Absolutely. Hallmark my words. So Benjamin Ayers and Caitlin Crosby hard launched their relationship. She's a Los Angeles based entrepreneur. She's beautiful. He's fun. He's such a fun, funny guy. I wish them well.

[00:23:52] I heard through one of my sources that they've actually been together for about a year. Oh, this hard launch was not done prematurely. This is something that you know, they had an established relationship. And I think after a year or so going public like feels right to me. I am happy for them. I'm happy to see that his hair is back in a healthy place. Um, and he seems he seems really happy and they look all cuddly together.

[00:24:21] And I think that this is just good news overall. There you go. Yeah. Look at y'all. Did y'all see? Did y'all see his funny thing about, um, about when he went up to someone who we thought was Adam Scott at the airport. I did not. I saw, I saw, uh, the post, but I was in bed and my wife was sleeping next to me. I didn't want to, and I couldn't figure out what he was saying without my earbuds. And it was a whole thing.

[00:24:49] I was, I didn't want to play the audio and be like, Hey, sorry, baby. I woke you up. Benjamin air. He bumped into Adam Scott. I'm sure you will understand. What's the story there. And this is a bonus story though. This is a bonus story. Basically he was at the airport. What's this swing? I think this is promo. I know that looks really cute. Actually. A little pink Panther in the back. That's like a, that's a, I think it looks like it's an art. It's not that kind of show. I know. I know. I want to be, I want to be tasteful here, but I just feel like that swing is up to no. Oh, brand.

[00:25:19] What? I'm just saying. Are you kink shaming? No, I'm not. Oh my gosh. There's Paul Freeman and Aaron Cahill. Oh yeah. Why is he like that? It doesn't, that looks, I think that's an insert. They send him a photo and then he put, that's funny actually. What's a, yeah. They're having a good old time. Look at them. Oh, they're really, she's really cute. Um, that's so funny. I know. So he went up to who we thought was Adam Scott, the airport, and he said, Hey man.

[00:25:49] And then apparently Adam Scott, uh, said, Oh my gosh, you're the guy from Hope Valley 1874. And then Benjamin Ayers realized that it was not Adam Scott. And the guy said, Oh, you think I'm Adam Scott? I get that all the time. And then Benjamin Ayers was like, Oh, I get all the time that I'm the guy from Hope Valley 1874. I think this was all done as like a funny little publicity thing for Hope Valley 1874. But if that was Adam Scott and it was, I mean, I just think the whole thing's funny. Yeah.

[00:26:19] You are in a new era of your life. You have a fabulous haircut, a fabulous girlfriend, new Ayers of your life. I don't know. I'm trying to think. A new heirs. I like that. Speaking of Taylor Swift's wedding is any day now. Um, is that, did I see that it's going to be at Madison Square? They're, they're trying to, they're trying to fool people. No, it's definitely not going to be an MSP, but they want you to think of it. Oh, okay. Let me ask, can I ask you a really quick, was, was the story with the Adam Scott?

[00:26:46] Was it, was Adam Scott saying he knew about 1874, the giveaway that it wasn't Adam Scott? Like, Oh, there's no way the real Adam Scott knows. No, no, no. It was not only the giveaway that it wasn't Adam Scott. It was also the giveaway that it wasn't even a guy that looked like Adam Scott. Oh man. Like that he made the whole thing up. He made the whole thing up. I think. Oh, you think it's all, you think it's all a lie. There's, we can't even remember the title and we cover it. There you go. I know.

[00:27:15] 1874, the Lord is knocking at your door. I remember that. Knocking at your door. Um, we are moving on to another woman who split from her husband. Oh my gosh. But is in love again. Janelle Parrish and Sasha Barber share sweet new details about their romance. They met on Dancing with the Stars. So she has left a couple of Easter eggs, soft launching them prior to the hard launches that they've done. They met on Dancing with the Stars. They're both gorgeous.

[00:27:43] They seem like they are deeply, deeply in love. What's the point of buttons at, at this point, Jax, what is the point of, but he's, he's got all of two. Everything is right. Yeah. I think you're going to have to direct that question to Paul green. Okay. I will. I will ask. He'll know. I just, I don't know. Is it in case the breeze picks up? Yeah. And then is you, you've got easy, easy to back up. Anyway, I'm sorry. Continue.

[00:28:14] No, no, no. Just that. I think that these two, I'm really excited for them. She's an exceptional actress. I don't really know Sasha Farber. I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but you know what? They're, they're there at the race MS gala raising money for a good cause. And you know what? I love love. So whether this lasts the test of time or it doesn't, it's a hot little romance and I'm happy for our girl. There you go.

[00:28:42] Uh, I, now this is, uh, you have to imagine that this they've been maybe together for a while. Cause she announced not too long ago, like within the past month that she and her, uh, ex were officially divorced. I believe relatively quickly announced, uh, this. So yeah, probably one of those, one of those things where couldn't make it official until another thing was official.

[00:29:09] And now that that thing's official, I can officially say this thing. Exactly. But we're smart. We can put it all together. Yep. We can put it all together. You got it all figured out. 100%. Um, shall we take one more break? I would love to take a break before we go on to our final segment, Brian. I can't wait for it. And Brian, I can't. Brian, are you happy that you're here? Yeah, this is great. This is a fun time.

[00:29:46] Hi, Brian. Brian, how are you doing? I think that you are a really upstanding guy and maybe don't engage in hot goss as much as I do as a gossip hound. And Brian loves to just chit chat about people behind their backs. That's right. Yeah, you're right. Brian, what do you, what do you think? I stay out of, I stay out of a lot of the gossip. And so when I learn things and I hear things like this is news, a lot of this is news to me. And so I'm just like, it's intriguing, you know, and sometimes I'll see, you know, the stuff that happens online, but I don't dig into it. I don't know much.

[00:30:15] And so I get the headline, but hearing, you know, diving deep into it is, is fascinating. And I can't believe you don't watch Dancing with the Stars. Surprises me. I know my mother loves it. Do you watch it? I've gotten into it the last few seasons, I would say, and had a pretty good time. Right. Right guy likes to watch it too. And we text each other throughout the season. Wait, that is the best bromance ever that you guys text during Dancing with the Stars. You guys are cute. We try not to spoil it for each other.

[00:30:43] Like I'll check in with them to see where he's at on how caught up he is. And so, but yeah, you know, we have a fun time. I love that so much. And Brian, you don't watch it? No. I tried. He's gonna leave it back. No, I've tried in the past with like people that I like and it's just not. Yeah. It's not for me. I get it. I get it. That's fair. It did make me want to learn how to dance because a it's impressive.

[00:31:11] B at the, uh, the Bramble Fest when we had the dance party, I was like, man, I wish I could get on the dance floor and move around. So those two things, two things combined, I was like, you know, no one's, we don't have to get out there with good moves. But just personally, I wish I, I had some moves. And so it, those two things together almost inspired me, but, uh, I haven't, I haven't made any progress. I understand. Um, all right. Final segment, Jax. What do we have? Final segment.

[00:31:38] Welcome to busy blessed and booked. Busy blessed and booked with Jax. Wait a minute. You did just do that with your mouth. I did it with my mouth. Yes. You're incredible. Well, well, it's an effect Jackson with the board. He's an artist. I'm not doing that for, he can't make that. You're still doing it. And I respect that. I couldn't do that with a board. Sure. You could. Very nice. Very nice.

[00:32:08] Um, you know, I just want to say this, we're about to get into a busy blessed and booked, and I don't want to take complete credit for this busy blessed and booked, but I also don't want to take no, not. It's, I feel like we're a little bit responsible for it, Brian, but go ahead. Wait, I would wait. Great. I will. Okay. So I will kick it off. And then I want to hear how you guys are responsible for it because I firmly believe that you are. Thank you. So Laura sent me a tip and I think she can be identified because you just did. This is like public knowledge. Um, sorry, Laura. Hi, Laura.

[00:32:38] Um, can we do the escape room with you? Okay. I wish you were a real journalist and you just accidentally keep giving out all your sources. Keep giving out your sources. I'd love that. That's a funny. I don't think that they're fine with that. They should be okay with that. This isn't that. But I'll see you at the escape room. So you know their name, you know their name and where they'll be. Oh, I actually did reveal too much information about the escape room. I'm sorry.

[00:33:08] I'm sorry about that. I'm sorry. I don't even know if we're in the same one. Anyway, I digress. Go ahead. So Laura told you what? Sleepy Kitty Paws. Yes. Sleepy Kitty Paws is saying it's official garage sale mystery. She took an ax is on the production schedule to start filming in British Columbia in a little over a week. What? Look, they don't know for a fact it's Hallmark, but yeah, I, it is. It's going to be for Hallmark. Lori's back baby. Um, she's, you know, living her best life since her split from her husband, Mossimo.

[00:33:38] Um, don't, I don't trust him as far as I can. Is he still in jail or no? I don't think so. I don't think he was ever in jail. Cause then she fall on the sword. Oh no. That's what, that's what William Macy, William Macy completely avoided scandal because Felicity Huffman was like, I got this boo. Oh man. Um, the worst. So wait, I need to know. Oh, okay. So, so she's saying it is for Hallmark. Okay, great.

[00:34:03] So I'm questioning you guys, how did, how are you responsible for this big breaking news? So a couple, what was it? Maybe a month ago now we were talking about a murder. She baked movie, uh, Hannah Swenson mystery. And I was like, how many of those are there? Dan did the deep dive. And he said, there's this many. Somehow we got on the garage sale mysteries. Uh, and there were, I think 19 of them. I believe so. Cause we thought Hannah Swenson was trying to beat the record. Yeah. Beat the record.

[00:34:32] And I, we had never, we've never talked about a, uh, garage sale mystery on the show. And I said, well, we should do, we should do like a marathon and we watch them all and we live stream. And it'll be a fun thing. Right after we talk about this, this news breaks, you're saying that's a coincidence, a new, a renewed interest in the garage sale mystery. And suddenly, suddenly it's happening. I don't, I don't think so. It's you guys. It's you guys on it. No, 100%. It's you guys. 100%. I'm excited about this.

[00:35:01] What do you guys think about this? I'm happy. I'm, I am more interested and intrigued by the slow rollout of Lori. Like it's been like, you know, it was talked about. They do the little added stinger on the end of the season finale, which I feel like we can say this now, Jax, you watched the, is this right? You watched the screener of the finale.

[00:35:28] And for reasons I don't remember, Dan and I watched the TV version of it. And the, the little Lori Loughlin stinger at the end of the, wasn't on the screener of the finale, but it was on the broadcast version of the finale as if it was like, do you remember this? I thought it was yes, but I thought it was the opposite. I thought I, but maybe it was, I don't know. I, no, no, no, not the opposite. I saw her and you guys did it. No, I know. Okay. No, no, no, no. No, I remember. I remember.

[00:35:57] I remember what happened. I was watching the screener and I got close to the end of the episode and I had to stop it. And then when I went to pick it back up, I realized that it's, it was airing right then. I was like, it'll just be easier for me to just put on the channel and watch the last two minutes of the show rather than re getting the screener out and fast forwarding to the end. And then I saw it and I said, Hey, Dan, who Dan only watched the screener. I was like pretty crazy little stinger there about Lori Lockett.

[00:36:26] He's like, what are you talking about? I'm like, Oh, well, good thing I did. Or it's Jax would have been thinking she's going crazy about, she would have been like, you guys didn't even mention it. I'm like, what are you talking about? Which would have been funny, but yeah, I, they did that little thing, which makes me feel like it was like an last minute added on thing or something. Like it's been already announced that she's coming back, but like the little stinger was an interesting little, like first time you see her back on the channel.

[00:36:54] And then like nothing, like she's not, they're not really doing much. Like I would think that they would want her to be in some sort of movie or something just to get renewed interest and excitement. But I don't know. So maybe this is it, but I would, sorry, I'm getting joked up thinking about it. This is really, I would think that the garage sale mystery, she took an ax that's on the production schedule wouldn't air until next year. Right.

[00:37:21] And when calls the heart, I believe would be a January release. So that went realistically, unless she's in a Christmas movie, this holiday season that we don't know about yet, I would assume, which is possible. I would assume that, uh, she are the first we'll see if her would be on a when calls the heart in January. That'd be my guess. But do you guys, how do you guys feel about her return? I think it's great. We, I mean, I feel like we were pretty vocal about like what, like

[00:37:49] the whatever, like, I'm just making, I'm just making sure. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think you can hold something against a person forever after they literally do their time, do some time. Especially like it was such a like, yeah, yeah. Not harmless, but it was a thing that was able to be dealt with and it was dealt with and like, let her do her thing, you know? Better cook. I guess. And I think too, this probably does line up for if they're going to have a new movie next year, garage sale movie next year, they'll probably do the marathon preview before.

[00:38:18] They'll probably do it and then we do it. Yeah. And then we just watch it for a day. We watch it for a day. So it's all lining up really as well. Yeah. So we'll see, we'll see what happens, but a very, very intriguing. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It's a good one. Next. I'm, I'm happy to bring it to your attention, but you're the one who started the news cycle. So, okay, you guys. So Andrew Walker is on set for his latest Christmas. He just wrapped. There he is.

[00:38:46] Look at that cable knit sweater. My God. He is such a handsome, sweet person. This is apparently this movie is called Christmas in blue dog Valley. Oh, it's a blue dog. You know, this book, I saw the book cover posted in a Facebook group, a writer's group. And somebody said they're turning this into a Hallmark movie. And I didn't know it was him in it, but now it's all coming together. So this was based on a book. I always like when the movies, uh, film and there's whatever this little places that they

[00:39:14] film some of their movies. That's like a, that looks, it's a set, but it's like, looks like a small town. They do some movies here. Sometimes I always like it. Cause it looks, it looks really good. Looks real nice. It's adorable. And wait, so, okay. There's a lot of chatter in the comments about who they think his co-star is. Um, there's like, there's like Kimberly Susted coming up, Aaron Cahill. Um, that's what, Oh, okay. Here we go.

[00:39:41] Robin. It's Aaron Cahill. Just flat out saying it. Working with Andrew Walker this year, Christmas blue dog. Yeah. So I think Bray Robin is telling us something. What do you know? Who's Bray Robin? I don't know. I can't, I cannot confirm or deny. It's that's good journalistic integrity right there, Jackson. No, no. Here's, here's the interesting thing though. I like a week before he went to film this, he was doing either like a Facebook live or answering

[00:40:10] questions in his, um, Instagram or it's like an Instagram live or something. It was, it was a interview and he said that someone he loved to work with that he's never worked with before is Aaron Cahill. Like to me, that could go one of two ways. He was either just about to be on set with her. So he was like hyping it up or would he actually have said that if he was about to be on set with her or would he be too worried that that was too obvious? What do y'all think?

[00:40:38] That's a great question. That's a great, I would, I would assume that, uh, top of mind, right? Like he knows he's about to be on set with Aaron Cahill. So that's the first thing that comes, not that that wouldn't also be his answer because who wouldn't want to work with Aaron Cahill? Exactly. You know, if you know that you're about to work with her for the first time, it seems a bit like a layup, right? To just be like, Oh yeah. Right. Like throw it up so you can spike it. But also homework enthusiast 247 says,

[00:41:08] you can even see his co-star at the end, behind the holder he's holding. So right here, right? Are you talking about this video right here? Okay. Hold on. Let me get it back on the screen. Um, co-star at the end, behind the folder he's holding. Let's see if we can see it. Oh, did you see that? Wait, wait, go back, go back, go back, go back. I don't know how to go back. That was so quick. Can I pause this on the phone? You can pause. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. You ready to get the trigger? Yeah, I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. I'm ready. Here we go. I am so ready for this.

[00:41:38] Now, you know, Aaron, so you would know if this is, this is her. That was her. Stop. Okay. Can we, let's zoom. Oh guys, that could be anybody. Yeah. That's dark hair though. I think, right? It is dark hair. Does Aaron Cahill like plaid like that? I mean, is this a, well, I think she, you know, has to in this line of work. I wish you had a source on this one, Jax. I mean, this is where they would come in handy. I know, but you know, I, you know, I just don't know.

[00:42:07] There's, I just don't know. I can't say what that, but it seems like other people in the comments do. Okay. Let's go. Go Habs. Is that Canadians? Okay. Which that's old news. They did not win and move on. Oh man. Look at that though. That's, that's some teasing energy. Sure. It is. Wow. I love it. Those are the blue pages. We're going to set folks. We're going to set baby. And I'm covering her face. I'm covering her face. Wow. So guys leave your leave.

[00:42:37] They probably will have announced it by the time this podcast comes out. Hey, Andrew and or Aaron, why don't you just confirm it in the comments here? Be bold. Do something crazy. Huh? I'm going to, I'm going to see Aaron in four days. Okay. Should I just ask? You should just ask. Yeah. Should I, should I, should I, what was that sound that came out of my mouth? Did you hear that? Yeah, that was, I didn't know that that was human while I was getting ready to talk to that was crazy.

[00:43:06] I did just eat lunch, so it might be throwing me off too. Um, I, uh, I, I, I just, we need some Intel here somehow. That's going to be a good combo though. I'd say if it's them, if it's, if it's them, it's going to be a great, what do you know about the book? Is it any good? I don't know anything about the book except that is a book and they're making a movie based on the book and Andrew's in it. Honestly, Brian, that's plenty of info. Yeah. What else do you need to know? I guess who is the, uh, who published this? That's a good question right there.

[00:43:36] I hope it's an indie. I'd love to see that. Yeah. It's probably not though, right? No, I doubt it. This is an Annie. I can, I can put this on the screen. Annie England Noblin. Annie. Annie England Noblin. Annie England Noblin. How many reviews there? 131? That's all it takes these days to get a movie? Half of that? To get a movie made? Um, this was, uh. What's it say? Do a little synopsis for us. I'm not, okay, hold on, hold on. Oh, it gets locked. Look at all these reviews. Woo wee. We got to, you guys start sending your book for the reviews.

[00:44:07] Yeah, I got to put them in there. This is an Avon, uh, book, which I believe is a, uh, somebody, a, a, a, a penguin. A random house? I don't think they exist anymore. I think it's an imprint. It sounds like an imprint. It doesn't matter. Uh, anyway, go ahead, Jacks. Last story. Well, speaking of incredible duos. HarperCollins. Sorry.

[00:44:34] It's a HarperCollins imprint. Thank you, Bran. Everybody, not that anyone cares. No, we do. Brandon, thank you for your journalistic integrity. Thank you. I actually got that from a source. Thank you, John. Sorry about that. Thank you, John. Thanks, John. Thank you, John. Sorry for saying that. Keep them coming. Keep them coming. John who? Uh, Baxter. Yeah. So that's B8. CK not X.

[00:45:02] So it's, it's easier to write completely, completely different. Um, so Hallmark channels unveiling their Christmas in July, 2026 scheduled for original movie premieres. Okay. So we got Christmas under construction. Jessica Lounds back at Hallmark. Daniel listening also back at Hallmark. Now, you know what's interesting about this when we're talking about original movies? Uh, not an original Hallmark movie. This aired on- Not an original Hallmark. This aired on Hulu. In fact, we've already reviewed this movie. Oh, is that right?

[00:45:31] Uh, on Deck the Hallmark with Alonzo. Alonzo, okay. Um, cause it was a festive Friday movie and so- We're gonna do it again? Uh, no, I'll just replay that one. I think- Wait, wait a minute. Wait, seriously? They've already aired this on Hulu? Yes. So it's not brand, it's brand new to the network. Oh, okay. I know. It's on the 4th of July. What are we gonna do? I know. They did change the name though, I feel like. Um, it was originally something else.

[00:46:00] I don't remember what it was. So they did the work is what you're saying. They changed the title of the movie. Yes. We did the work. Um, okay. And then after that, this is not a preview show folks. So don't- Not a preview show. I'm super excited. You know I'm obsessed with Caporel. Don't dare- Don't you dare call her Beryl again. Don't you dare. Caporel. She's incredible. This one, um, looks- Look at Hazar here. Look, what's this smolder he's doing there? Is he at a face? That is a word for it. Smolder maxing.

[00:46:29] Look at her dimples though. I don't need to look at him. I only want to look at her. Yeah. Oh, I like this little hat here with the two little- I know everything about her. She's so cute. Um, so that one's airing on July 11th. Yeah. Uh, then we have coming up our boy Marcus Roser. And Vanessa is so cute and funny. I love her. How do you see her last name? Lengie? I believe so. And we'll be, uh, we'll be watching this movie at Bramble first. Yeah. July 18th. We sure will in our PJs.

[00:46:56] And then finally coming up, we have, um, love under the mistletoe. Jen Lilly back at it with Nick Bateman. That's right. And I believe that this is also a not a new one. It looks like it. It looks like it. Cause I think we, Jim, we would have seen Jen posting about filming it. Right. This is not her first one back on the network though. Operation mistletoe is was what it was originally called. Really? Yeah. That's familiar. That is. So they're just, you know what?

[00:47:25] Honestly, they're doing whatever they need to do. There's always a lot going on over there. They're busy. They're overworked and overscheduled and they're cranking out a lot of movies, but Hallmark Channel. We love you. We support you. Let's please bring in some more diversity and queer representation. Um, body representation. Like let's get some more people on the network. Keep going. I think just really just got it.

[00:47:52] But I'm happy to bring you guys this news. I love chatting. Now, now Brian, will you be back? I hope so. I hope I get the invite. I usually find out 12 hours before recording. So we'll see. Brian, you are always. Always. Maybe I'll come literally without exception. Wow. No, no exceptions at all. Incredible. Wow. You did incredible. I'm going to try to push the limit on that. You did do incredible. Uh, Jack, this was wonderful. We had so much fun. Not that kind of show.

I would love that. So some of you have a signal, is there a signal, uh, link that you can send to people for anonymous, something encrypted, obviously. Some of you have my phone number. You can text me and if you don't have my phone, do you want to just feel free to text me? Um, definitely DM me. I'm starting to organize your tips.

And if you want, if you want to remain anonymous, let Jack's know she will probably, probably not pay attention to that, but she might. And we appreciate it. Yeah. This is the serious news though. I hope you don't get a bunch of fake tips to lead you down. Oh yeah. That would be fun though. And then we can investigate them together.

[00:49:18] Oh, that would be fun. A live investigation. Yeah. With some serious, like serious, uh, like true crime music behind it. Yeah. Who? I'm down. Cookies. I don't know what that story is.
