Love Finds You (Hallmark Channel - 2026)

[00:00:03] This is a Bramble Jam Podcast. Hi, I'm Brian. I love Hallmark Fall Movies. I'm Brian. I like Hallmark Fall Movies. I'm Dan. I despise Hallmark Fall Movies. And this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast. Bran and friends host his podcast.

[00:00:30] We hope you like this jolly podcast. Let me ask you guys this. Oh, please do. What are your thoughts on Journeymen? Journeymen? Yeah. Like folks that were in the band Journey? No, like just people who've really made the journey. Like Union? Like in a union? Like they're working their way up? Like a Journeyman. They've been at it for a long time. Give me one example.

[00:01:01] Pau Gasol Pau Gasol? Paul Gasol. Paul Gasol. Paul Gasol. I mean, I'm fine with Paul Gasol, I guess. He's a Journeyman. Yeah. Yeah, sure, man. I guess we're all on board. Could you have done this before the show started? I just thought of it. And then I realized I was going to forget it. You don't want to forget that. You don't want to forget it. It's important stuff. Now it's recorded, so few. Now it's recorded, so now I'll never forget it. Never forget. It's a weird start to an episode. Sorry. Hi, everybody. Happy fall to you.

[00:01:29] Fall has officially begun because the Hallmark Channel says that it has. Scooters said that it has. Scooters did say that. If you missed it, over on Gilmore the Marrier, we tried a bunch of pumpkin-related, fall-related terrible apple, maple, cinnamon. From a coffee shop called Scooters. Scooters. Starbucks is coming out with their stuff today. Oh, it's today. Yeah. Heck yeah.

[00:01:54] I believe we will be trying doing another coffee-related thing. Oh, today. I see what you're saying. Today, today. I got you. Yeah, like today, like the one we're living right now. I got you. Yeah. We will be trying. Dan, I don't know if you know. I'm a professional. So I'm able to, in real time, know what day it is. I don't know if I believe you. That's a journeyman quality right there, man. I'm a journeyman. What a journeyman. I'm a journeyman. We will be doing another taste testing with Starbucks and Dunkin' and whatnot.

[00:02:23] So stay tuned for that over on Gilmore the Marrier. And if you've been looking for Gilmore the Marrier on the YouTube page, it's not there. It's on its own YouTube page. Go and subscribe. Go and subscribe right now. And then the same will be true here in just a little bit for Marvel Mondays. We'll also be doing it. We need you to subscribe. We need you to watch, too, because we got to get to a certain watch. That's right. Our point. Help us help you get better algorithms.

[00:02:50] And hopefully those episodes find the people that they're supposed to. That's right. That's the goal here. You're like first responders helping people. But you're wearing a Fast Friday shirt, and that is a little bit confusing as to what we're trying to actually. And I get back. Extricated, and you are blending it right back in. I am. Yeah. But it does say deck the hallmark on it. That's true. So that's fun. Vroom, vroom to you. Vroom, vroom to you. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom. Vroom, vroom. I do got to ask you. Yeah.

[00:03:17] You had a lot of sugary beverages last week doing our taste testing. I know that's not normally what you do. How were you the rest of the day into the evening? I handled that all right. Yeah. We just took some sips. Yeah. I didn't really go too, too hard. Yeah. I like sweets like you do, so I feel like my tolerance is up there from the sweets that I make sure to have. We were in a banking competition. We know our way around some sweets. Yeah. But you don't look like you like sweets. Like, I look like I wear the sweets.

[00:03:44] I think the difference is even though you like the sweets, you don't actually eat them regularly. I try to. Well, I do moderate. A lot of self-talk, put myself down. Wow. A lot of negative talk. So really healthy. Really healthy stuff all across the board. So I deprive myself of quite a bit. You went to the theaters over the weekend. Did you bring your Bunch of Crunch? I brought two Bunch of Crunch. Yeah. You love Bunch of Crunch. I mean, yeah. Theater canine doesn't count. And I will say. No, right. Theater canine doesn't count. I will say, I had never had Bunch of Crunch before you gave me some Bunch of Crunch. I can't believe it.

[00:04:14] When we went and saw Mimics together. We sure did. That's right. And I have fallen in love with Bunch of Crunch. They're great. I love Bunch of Crunch. I love hearing that. Yeah. I've not had it since, but I did like the experience. It's a Bunch of Crunch. Bunch of Crunch. It's just a Bunch of Crunch. It's a bunch of it. Dan, how are you doing? I'm doing great, man. How about you? I'm doing well. I'm in the fall spirit. I'm ready to dive. It was 90 degrees this weekend. Yes. I swam outside. This morning, though. This morning, still hot. It wasn't humid, though. But it was nicer. The humidity is down. The key here is nicer.

[00:04:42] Our weatherman went nuts, but it was a 10 degree drop, and it's like 89 degrees with a low of 67. It's like, what are we doing? I took one day last week. I don't remember what night it was, but there was a cloud over top of our house that was just lightning. Yeah. And it was just really cool. I took a video of it. I sent it to Chris Justice. Heck yeah. I want to read this text verbatim because I loved it so much. Chris Justice said, in response to this video, so electric.

[00:05:11] Great shot. Dude, he is always on. Yeah. He's always on. So electric. So electric. Shout out, Chris Justice. Yeah. Greenville's weatherman. He's Greenville's weatherman. Whether Greenville wants him or not, he's ours. He's the ours. He's ours. He's the ours. I snuck up on you. Speaking of ours, it's time to talk about our movie for the day. It's tea time, y'all. It's McNally time, y'all. It's Love Finds You. I don't like the title.

[00:05:41] I don't like it either. No. Same here. Okay. We're all on board there as well. Okay, good. Go ahead. This one was directed by a friend of the show, Ava Tavares. Okay. Extra tea. Extra tea. Why? Extra tea time. Yeah. Two teas. Ava Tavares. The other one we see because her name is Tea Garden. Yeah, tea. It's not because her name starts with the letter T. I mean, Tea Garden. Two teas. Tea time. Yeah. And it originally premiered on the Hallmark Channel on August 22nd, 2026 when all people

[00:06:11] begin to celebrate fall and it went a little something like this. Alex is a jewelry designer who has a habit of holding on to random items from her ex-boyfriends. She's having a bit of a relationship revelation though. She wants to get rid of these things and she... A double R. Relationship. Yes. Kind of billabody. She likes to leave notes and cupcakes for her delivery driver, Jack, who... Here's what you need to know about Jack. Great legs.

[00:06:41] Woo! And thighs. Jack doesn't have time for cupcakes though. Her best friend Megan comes over to help her deal with all of these ex-items by telling her to talk about them and then manifest her perfect man by burning all of her ex's stuff and saying what she wants in a man after each item. You guys know... You guys all did this. Oh, yeah. For sure. We've all done this. It's a burn, burn... Fire and fire.

[00:07:12] Manifesting burn. Manifest burn. After work, Jack heads to get dinner with his sister who is trying to help him find a girlfriend. It's time for you to find somebody and fall in love. But all he really wants is a promotion at work. And that starts by being the best, fastest, and most liked delivery driver in the company. And they do that via an app. It helps. So that's what you need to know.

[00:07:37] He goes to deliver this mysterious purple box to Alex's place and has a hard time scanning it. It's almost like it's magic or something. He's like, that's weird. She gets this purple box, opens it up, and it's full of items related to the things that she wished for last night. And like her perfect man. She's like, well, wait a second.

[00:08:02] Did I just manifest my perfect man and then accidentally get his package delivered to my apartment? Is his name the same as mom? Is his name also Alex? I'm fine with that. It's totally normal. Obviously, that's what happens. That's a natural leap to make in your mind. So she runs down to catch Jack and ask if she can ride with him to deliver the package to the right man. He says, no. She says, I don't think you heard me.

[00:08:31] This is my dream man. It goes against the rules. Naturally, he gives in because he's a little wimp. And she agrees to help him get his ratings up in the app because I guess it's like some of it's based on customer satisfaction. He's not really into that. So she's going to help him boost those scores. Of course, they go to one of the other Alex Browns in the area. She freaks out. She's real nervous to talk to this guy and give him the box.

[00:09:01] But, you know, she's got to do it. So Alex Brown, he's hot. He's clearly into our Alex Brown. But the more he talks, the more it's clear that this is not the Alex Brown for our Alex Brown. A lot of Alex Browns, folks. After some more deliveries with sticky notes that she puts on people's packages and accidentally touching his hands, they do get to the final Alex Brown. And she's very nervous. He helps calm her down by telling her that she's perfect.

[00:09:30] They get to that Alex Brown and he's a priest. I don't think that's the one. I don't think that's the one for her. So they keep handing out packages and they're starting to really enjoy being around each other. The sparks are beginning to fly. And after a full day, they end up getting more Alex Browns in the greater Columbia, Columbus area. Columbia, Columbus. And they have one more left, but it's late at night. So they decide that they're going to meet up tomorrow to go to his house.

[00:09:59] And she opens up to him about how she wants her own jewelry store one day. And he opens up about his life and all this good stuff. Whatever. You guys know what I'm talking about here. What's Brian talking about? I don't know. They finally get to the house of the final, final Alex Brown. And he decides he's going to shoot his shot. He tells her how he feels and all this stuff. Like, I think I'm falling for you. And he's like, but you still, you got to go ring the bell.

[00:10:28] So ring the bell. Ring the bell. She does not ring the bell, in fact. She just leaves the package by the door. She says, I know exactly what I want. And she goes to kiss Jack. They kiss big one, spinny cam. But her best friend is like, I need to know who is behind this door. Who's behind the door? And so she rings the bell. Dude's freaking ripped. And of course, they end up falling in love. Fast forward a little bit. And everybody is happy and kissing.

[00:10:58] And she opens up her own jewelry stock, manifested by Alex, in the back of a delivery truck. And that, my friends, was... Love Finds You! We did it. Let's take a break. We'll come back. We'll break this movie down some more. Here on, take the Hallmark. Everybody, welcome back.

[00:11:27] We're talking Love Finds You today. Our first Hallmark fall movie of 2026. Fall into love. That's right. Let's break this movie down. We're going to start with a hot take. We're going to share exactly how we felt about this movie. Do you not hold back? And I'll start with you, Brian. Brian, what did you think of Love Finds You? Did you fall in love with it? Thanks, Brian. Yeah, not... I didn't fall in love with it, though. I thought it was pretty good. I had a good time.

[00:11:56] I found that I was more fall-deprived than I knew. For August 22nd. Yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? It's coming on early this year. Costco's got Christmas stuff out. Has it? I mean, that's good to see. I'm happy to see it. King of Queens was a very important show to me. I forgot about this. Okay. It was... Okay. Okay. And he's a delivery driver. Doug? Yeah. Doug Heffernan.

[00:12:22] Part of me, because of watching King of Queens and loving that world so much, wished with all my heart that I could end up being a delivery driver. Absolutely. I wanted to be a delivery driver. 100%. A dream. A full-on dream of mine. And this movie... How old were you when you were watching King of Queens? This was like high school and into college, I guess, probably, right? I don't know. I just... By college, I feel like you could have known. I was still watching it on syndication in college. But you could have... In college, you should have known if you were going to be a delivery driver. Yeah. I could still... I could have made that call. Yeah. But you just weren't...

[00:12:52] But I also do have the DVDs, Stan. I mean, it premiered when you were 16 years old. So I guess that makes sense. So prime time. Prime time. And I did not go right to college after high school. I didn't... I was going to be a rock star. So I was still furrowed around. And you can tell that just by looking at it. Yeah. I mean, you were... You got a rock star. Thank you. If anybody was going to be a rock star or delivery driver, it was huge. What about the rock star delivery driver? Delivery... Oh, that's a good one. Oh, wow. He delivers the package and he rocks out. Hoppy would draw your package! Yeah.

[00:13:22] He's got a little symbol. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's what we need. But this movie had a lot of the good things about being a delivery driver, which was his uniform looked super comfortable. He was right about that. In the movie, he said, my fit's great. It did look cool. It looked very movable and breathable. Very nice. He got a cool truck. That truck was really cool. It looked like a fun time. An easy route. That is key.

[00:13:48] And I feel like having a successful career as a delivery driver, you have a posh route. Just, you can stop anywhere on your route and just eat a sandwich on the back of your truck. Did he have an easy route? Because his truck was filled, just chock full of boxes that weren't being delivered. Or did he just decide to take it easy? Either way. Like, if you have that mentality, then every route's easy. Every route's easy. I would need an easy route because I would stress about it. But, so, and you get to go, one of the best parts, and he says that you get to just go

[00:14:18] home and leave the work. Like, you're done. That's right. You can't deliver packages from home. You have to stop. That's high on your list. I know it is. That's a big thing. That's why you love delivering pizzas. Yeah, dude. It's my favorite job ever. That's why it pains me to think that we got a little too much delivery time in this movie. You think? What? We were delivering. Who are you? I know. And I thought, I know, I thought I would love it. But at a certain point, I started questioning, like, I started thinking about it too much.

[00:14:47] I'm thinking, so how did she get? Well, it's because it doesn't make sense. Well, yeah. I think if he's delivering constantly, you'd probably be on board. But the fact that the movie doesn't make any sense at all is probably your problem. So I started wondering, how did she get the package? It's all the same stuff. It's clearly her package. Why? Like, all of it just started not to me. They have the same name. I couldn't, in good conscience, be hunting down someone with the same name and think that they're my soulmate.

[00:15:16] So all the stuff, I just, it started, I had too much time to think about it. And if we had just, yeah, condensed the delivery time, do some other stuff, or just be constantly, like, working and introducing all these other characters who are on the delivery route, I feel like it would have worked better. The cast, I thought, was great. I had a good time. Use them a little bit more would have been great. So I had a good time overall. But I just, too much time to think about it.

[00:15:43] And then I started questioning it too much, which I was bummed about. But pretty good for me, overall. Well, you know, Brian, you are right. Like, there is a big hurdle to get over in this movie, which is how bad he is at his job. Like, when you, like, it just, just drive, just let's drive, let's deliver. We got to go fast. We got to get, like, people are relying on us. There was no sense of urgency from this delivery driver.

[00:16:12] As somebody who gets stuff delivered, it felt, it did hurt. It did hurt me. I do like this pairing. You guys know I love Tea Time. And it was good to see her. Like, it had been a while. Been a while. And she's fun. She brings a fun energy to this movie. Chris McNally is Chris McNally. It's just good to see him. But I like this movie. I didn't love the movie. It did give me fall feels. It felt like, especially the market, was really well decorated for fall.

[00:16:40] We get some fall leaves when they're delivering in certain neighborhoods. And all of that really kind of elevates an otherwise just okay movie. It makes me feel cozy. And that's all that I'm really looking for in a home of movies is it makes me feel cozy. I did get cozy while I was watching this movie. But there is also, like, there's the delivery aspect of it. There's the manifesting part of this movie that is just, guys, I'm sorry. The whole manifesting thing.

[00:17:10] If that is you, I love it for you. Like, I hear manifest. And it makes me shiver. It's like a shiver down my spine. The devil has entered the room. I don't like it. So that was hard for me as well. But all of that working against it, I still enjoyed myself. I still thought it was fun.

[00:17:34] And so I'm probably going to end up being middle of the pack for me, which is impressive given all of the strikes against this movie. I think I really liked it. Dano? Yeah. So this is tough because this movie is stupid and I hate it. But it's not because it's qualitatively. Like, this isn't a movie that I'm like, man, Care was not taken making this movie. Right? It doesn't have a boom mic in the shot, bad ADR, bad green screen. It doesn't have any of that. I just don't.

[00:18:03] It's just so far removed from being for me. It's crazy. Like, I don't even know how to describe to you how stupid I thought this movie was and how angry it made me on a regular basis. Brian, I got to live your dream every holiday season when I worked at UPS. And I would work at the hub while my wife was in grad school. I worked the hub from like 2.30 in the morning to like 7.30 in the morning. And then at 10 in the morning, I'd get on the truck and I would sit in the jump seat in the front of the truck and I would deliver packages from 10 in the morning till probably 7 or 8 at night.

[00:18:33] All of November and December. And I say that not because I ever want to do it again. I don't. It made a lot of extra money that I desperately needed at the time. But this movie doesn't know anything about delivering anything to anyone. And so the problem for me is that if you want me to suspend my disbelief, fine. Make a dream central. Make a purgatory. Make magic lemon drops.

[00:18:59] Make something that lets me know that you know that it's fake. It's a fake universe that we're supposed to have fun. This movie expects us to believe that this guy sits around eating sandwiches and going to the park with a truck full of boxes and he's getting positive ratings from everyone involved. No. Manifesting your soulmate as your same last name and going door to door.

[00:19:27] Like I just everything about this movie drove me bonkers. And it's just not how anything works at all. And it wasn't so incredibly removed that I could buy into this world that they're creating. It just expected me to play along and I did not want to play along. I just hated it so, so much. But it's not like the astronomy movie is just bad. Right? Like them showing up in the news. Like bad.

[00:19:56] Just bad movie. Right? The romance Hope Ranch movie is just bad. It's a bad. It's a poorly made movie. Real bad acting. This features quality acting and good movie making in service of a really colossally stupid movie. And I just hated it. And I'm sorry. But I just. And you can ask Bran who watched it with me. Like I just wanted to do literally anything else. And I'm sorry.

[00:20:24] You wanted to jump on the truck and deliver those packages. Hell yeah. That's what you wanted to do. I saw it like every. From the moment. Every time he gets out of the truck and he looks at his phone. I was just like deliver the packages. People were going up to him. That's how behind you. The rate he was going. He was going to finish delivering that truck full of packages in 2029. And UPS and FedEx drivers. They do this every day. And they crush it every day. And they're working hard.

[00:20:53] This guy should be fired. Sometimes DHL. So bad. Sometimes DHL. Let's get to all the feels. We're talking about what is going to get this feel. Let's start with you, Brad Guy. Yeah. The fall worked for me. I didn't realize I wanted fall so badly. Sure. And there wasn't, it wasn't a dump tron of fall, but there was enough fall here. Yeah. Brain was saying they were doing a great job. No, but there was, it was, we entered fall and it felt like fall. And I really, really liked it.

[00:21:21] And I cannot wait to get an apple cider donut. I am craving one. A warm one. Not sure. Trader Joe's has them. I know. I walked right by them. I didn't take it. I want a warm one from an orchard. You know, I'm ready. No, I get it, buddy. I get it. Um, well, then have it, her trying to find somebody with the same name as her did remind me of the fact that Taylor Lautner married someone named Taylor and now her name's Taylor Lautner. But she chose that. She did choose that.

[00:21:49] But every time I think about that, it makes me smile. I think it's a really fun thing that happened in life. And, uh, this, they're just getting ahead of it. I do like, what if she did a hyphen? It's Alex Morgan Morgan. Alex Morgan Morgan. I'm Alex Morgan Morgan. It's Morgan Morgan. My name is Morgan. My last, that's what, that's what you need to know. Um, I also did get a kick out of, uh, her best friend, uh, in this movie. I thought she was really good and was funny.

[00:22:14] And I, I liked that when they were looking through the, all the ex's stuff early in the movie and she pulls out this poker set, she's like, you thought poker face and Texas Hold'em were just song names, which I thought was a really funny line. So she was great. And I'd like to see her on more stuff. Dano? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Um, the kiss was good. Kiss with spinny cam. Kiss with very nicely filmed. Yeah. And it's Tavares is showing off out here with the, with the spinny cam.

[00:22:42] Um, uh, maybe that's her, her DP, but I would imagine that was her idea. She definitely approved it. I mean, yeah. I mean, so that was cool. And they, you know what I love also about, uh, Tavares flicks are she, and I, I want to go back and watch Christmas baby, but I know for a fact in the Texas two-step movie, a similar sequence of camera camera. It's like a, how, how she does montages where it's like a camera moving and showing you a

[00:23:10] scene and then transitioning into the next scene via like a back of somebody's shirt or something like that. She did one of those in this movie as well. And I think, I guess a really, I don't know, it's a homework movie and it's fun to see like fun stuff. There's definitely some visual panache here that is not present in other homework movies. I saw them live, by the way, visual panache. Oh, so good. And I'll say this, I felt underdressed. Oh, I bet. And I didn't know. Yeah, that seems like you. That's the risk, I didn't know. You know what I mean? Let's take a break. We'll come back.

[00:23:38] We'll get to the way, what, and the what's the hallmark here on Deck the Hallmark. Hi everybody. Welcome back. Oh, that's what are you? Okay, you just easing everybody in slow? No, I'm doing good. You all right? Bright guy, is it your Deck the Hallmark anniversary? Today? When did you move down here? Yeah, I did my first show in August 2022. Yeah, late August.

[00:24:05] It was, actually it was your birthday, I believe. August 7th? I think it was, because I brought cupcakes and it was you and Panda. But did you do that with Panda? Yeah, yeah. So that was you filling in for brand. Oh, but my first DT. Your first one as the regular chair. I felt like it was late August. I think it was right. I think the 27th is the day sticking out to me, but I don't know if that's correct. So we're right up on it. I mean, happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, dude. Thank you. Thank you very much. You got anything to announce? I'll be back. Yay! Yay! He's coming back. Brian Harrell will return.

[00:24:34] Presented by, in a deck the Hallmark, presented by Brian. We're still in talks. You're going to be a presented sponsor? I'm thinking about it. If it's on the table, we'll see. Let's get to the way what's. That's where we talk about what in this movie made us go away what. I'll start with you, Brian Guy. The employee rating system. Obviously, fatally flawed. Cruel. My first thought was, obviously, every old timer in that office is not participating. Like, every old guy. In the whole app system. Are you kidding me?

[00:25:03] Like, not every employee is doing this. And my second thought was, this is clearly not a union shop. Because a union would never. Like, you can't even get the words out of, we're going to do an employee rating reward system. You can't get those words out before you're slapped with some fraction. I was in the Teamsters because it represents all UPS. One of the oldest unions. One of the oldest unions, yeah. And the idea of them doing anything of this sort is hysterical.

[00:25:32] Where one employee gets money that others don't. And they're, like, recognized above. I couldn't believe. I couldn't believe it. I called my buddy who worked for the post office for a long time. And he explained to me in words, I can't repeat, things the union steward would say. If a manager suggested something like this. Oh, yeah. The shop steward? Yeah. I just. I just. Oh, man. No. So, they're clearly not. It's not a union job. And we're not even in the ignociation. FedEx isn't big into unions. It's probably, like, more similar to their thing. But rating a single individual?

[00:26:01] Well, my thing with that was you having your cell phone looking at it that often, you would be fired. Like, they're. Right. Guys, they're tracking you. Oh, yeah. UPS drivers get paid pretty well. They make six figures, all of them. Good game. You know. You have to work your way up through the hub to get that gig. You have to be in the union for years and years. But they're tracking you. Mm-hmm. Your scanner, they're tracking every move.

[00:26:25] If you are sitting in a park kicking a soccer ball with a child, there are three people in management at the UPS hub going, hey, is he dead? Right. Is Chris McNally dead? Did somebody steal his stuff? Like, you just. And it's not like his truck's empty. It's just jam-packed full of boxes. And then to add on that, they're checking for a review after every delivery? Heck no. Yeah. No way. It's just crazy. No.

[00:26:52] I'm glad they didn't harp on it too much because they sort of glossed over it and it was very high. But that was just crazy. There was a little green screen in a truck while they were driving. Yes. And it was not good. Not good. That's true. That's true. You're right. And they had a lot of great scenery throughout the rest of the movie. I liked when they stopped somewhere and just had a hangout sesh because it looked nice. It was driving me crazy. The last thing for me was just the name. Nobody even acknowledged that they would have the same name if it worked out the way she hoped.

[00:27:20] And then her best friend meets the guy. So now her best friend's boyfriend has her same name. And so it's just the conversations where you're going to have to do some explanation if you don't figure out a nickname straight away. It's just going to – stories are going to take forever to explain who was who. Yeah. If my best friend also had my significant other's last name, I'd be afraid that I would accidentally kiss you out of confusion. Oh, really? Like, oh, hey. That far? It would go that far for you. What? You never know. You don't know. That is a risk.

[00:27:50] It is a risk. Nate, you're all mixed. I'm all out of sorts with this name thing. It's crazy. Yeah. Yeah. She tried to memorize an entire D&D rule book for a guy? Come on, man. That's wild. Those things are serious stuff. My goodness. Someone who lives in her building comes down as they're doing the fire thing, and she pulls out the tiniest little speaker I've ever seen in my life, which also happens to push out great audio. Yeah.

[00:28:20] It's nuts. That thing is crazy. I don't know why, but Chris McNally being a country fan was wild to me. He just doesn't strike me as country. No. No. He's not going around listening to a new Luke Bryan song. None of us are. A golf, hunt, fish, golf, drink. I'm just guessing. Yeah. Hunt. This is the song. Hunt, fish, golf, drink. In that order? Yeah. Okay. Hunt.

[00:28:50] Hunt, fish, golf, drink. I don't. I don't. And then, again, I don't. If you are a manifesting person, I'm sorry. It's not for me. Earmuffs. Earmuffs. Him saying at the end of this movie, you really know how to manifest. One of the worst lines of all time. One of my least favorite lines of all time. One of my least favorite lines. And then my last one is this. She wanted a permanent jewelry store.

[00:29:18] And she got a delivery truck. Yeah. Dressed up like a jewelry store. Dressed up. But she's still going to have to set up every day. Get a permanent. There was an outside thing, like an outside element. It is basically the same thing that she has. She did not get a permanent. She did not get a permanent. Except now she has to find a place to store a huge truck. That's right. And nothing is. She did not do a great job manifesting. She did not manifest that. She did not. Step one. Well, you tried. Dano?

[00:29:46] The craziest part about this delivery company isn't that nothing gets delivered at all and they're wrong all the time or that their drivers are unsafe and looking at their phone all the time or that the jump seat for a passenger is back with the boxes. Like, are they trying to murder someone? In this particular truck. So in every UPS truck, next time you see one, the door will be open. Look, in the passenger seat, there is a jump seat, which is up against the wall, but it folds them flat and you can buckle.

[00:30:14] In this truck, there are just boxes jammed all in the front up on the windshield. Like, no, they often know. And then there's a jump seat in the back of the truck against the wall. If he hits one speed bump, she's dead. She's dead. She's dead. It's so crazy that they're trying to pass this off as a real delivery truck. It's crazy. The craziest part is there is a guy who's the boss named Ed, and he has an office,

[00:30:43] and his office is a corner L-shaped desk in the middle of the shipping hub. So, like, boxes everywhere, garage doors. He doesn't have a room. Like, guys, at UPS and FedEx, the biggest thing in the world is egress. Like, trying to create and manage spaces that are always movable, and like nothing's in the floor or in the way because time is money.

[00:31:09] This guy has his L-shaped desk just out in the middle of where the packages are being moved around. He's answering phones. That phone's connected to a line somewhere. I just, I couldn't get over that they just put this little time into making us believe this thing is real at all. The country music scene, talking about it, was an impossible scene to watch. No one believed a word they were saying. The words that we're saying were antiquated and not correct.

[00:31:37] And also, the fastest growing music genre is electronic music. It isn't country at all. Hasn't been for years and years. I don't know why that had to happen. No one's getting their mail. No one that goes with Express now is getting their mail. They're not getting anything that they asked to be delivered. It just isn't happening. She spends all day on a truck with him, and they deliver five packages. I just, it's just not happening.

[00:32:05] And then, I know what they were going for when he pulls out the sheets of paper, and he had two sheets of paper. We didn't get to everything. He had two sheets of paper. I don't know if there was like a backup sheet or more. But it just felt like wedding vows. It just felt like it didn't feel like, it didn't feel good at all. It was not a great declaration of love scene at all. That's all I got. But it's time for What the Hallmarkers for. We wonder what could have been. Maybe having to declare any questions we still have. What are we still wondering about?

[00:32:34] I'll start with you, Brian Guy. There was a shot early in this movie where they're commenting on his legs from up in the window. And there's a shot from down on the ground. And it's shot up. You see this building. It's either the place they live or it's a coffee shop of sorts. And it's called The Nut. The Nut. Where good things grow. And he stomps his leg right in front of that shot. And so you got his leg. You get his just glowing calf.

[00:33:02] How are we not supposed to call that The Nut shot? I don't know how they got away with this. I couldn't believe it. It was so funny and such a like just happened without. I mean, it clearly was on purpose. A hundred percent. A hundred percent. It was hilarious. And I just. How are we not supposed to refer to it as that? I mean, that's what it is. It is. That's what it is. That was The Nut shot. The Nut shot of The Nut and his legs there. That's right. And it's a shot. There it is. That was my big question. This is a good question. Yeah. I mean, I got questions about the.

[00:33:32] Her store now that is inside delivery truck. Is that a like permanent location that she's paying for? Like, can she stay there or does she travel around? How do people know where she's going to be? Is it like a food truck? You post where you're going to be on any given day. I got questions about this delivery truck permanent jewelry store that she is. Dana? Yeah. I just thought they really missed an opportunity at the end of this movie to have the person

[00:34:02] who was Alex Brown. Is that the name? Correct. Be just a cam. Like, I thought it was a perfect. Oh, yeah. Tyler Hines opens the door. You know, Brendan Penny opens the door. Palat. Like, I just thought it was such a cool opportunity. Yeah. Like, as happy as I am for the friend, I almost wish like when they're kissing, he opens the door and he's like, all right. Yeah. Or they drive away and he opens the door and he's like, oh, cool. And it's Tyler Hines. You film him on any porch, just getting his whatever. You make it look the same.

[00:34:32] I just thought it was too perfect and they missed an opportunity. Fair. That's fair. It's time for Double Decker of the Week is where we dive deep into a life of a double decker who has signed up for Bramble Jam Plus. And then, Brian, you actually do a deep dive on them. It's very impressive. And tell everybody about their lives and whatnot, which is really a lot of fun and always entertaining or concerning. Yes. Dan, who do we have today? We have Danielle Hayes Colon. Yes. Danielle Hayes Colon. That's right. I just go with Danielle.

[00:35:01] But Danielle is big in fashion. Good. And like engineering, too. Honestly, yes, as well. I know. I see a lot of similarities. Danielle is trying to combine these things and has designed the first pair of pants that don't need a belt or suspenders, that they will adjust to their fit based on a system that Danielle has designed. And so it's sort of like a lever system. What if you like your pants tighter or looser? Well, you can adjust the levering system.

[00:35:29] Also, don't like elastic bands kind of work? Yeah, elastic. Yeah. For kids, I mean, we would never wear elastic waistband. I mean, none of us would do that. Oh, for elastic waistband? No. We wouldn't. We're grown men. We're grown men that would not wear elastic waistbands. None of us fit. Not today. No. None of us would do it. No. No. But don't you wish we could adjust our pants appropriately? Yeah, because we're all wearing grown-up pants. Right. That don't just slide up. That have belt loops. Yeah.

[00:35:58] Like the normal grown-man pants. Yes. Yes. I just think Danielle is my – now that I'm thinking about it, Danielle might be behind the times. But this system is – Did you say something about a lever? Yeah. I love that. Like a lever that – it's sort of like a tightening device. And sometimes it's not – she's very early on it, so it's not perfected. Okay. So it's like – it's kind of like they get either too tight or too loose. And Danielle's been noticing like the people who wear them

[00:36:26] are like just kind of like agitated most of the time. So it's not going well. It's not going great. No. But she's going to keep pushing through. I mean, does she have a business name? What are the pants called? This is trademarked. Okay. These are her cranky pants. Okay. I see. Because you crank them. I see. There's a system that – Now, can I ask you, though, about the cranky pants? Like what is it cranking to make it tighter or loose? It's like cinching the waist? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:36:54] And, I mean, honestly, the whole – you could go like real tight all the way down to the ankle or you could loosen a month. So you could have like a skinny. You could have a slim. It's like really trying to be formative. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's not just about the waist because that's the last thing. No, it's the whole pants. Yeah, because that's the last thing. We agree. Like, again, we wouldn't – We would. Not us. Not all three of us today. That's for adolescence. Right. But you can crank the whole – The whole thing. Yeah. If you need to change the fit of any portion of the pant, crank them.

[00:37:24] Any portion of the pants. She should get like a sponsorship deal or something with Soulja Boy. Crank that by Soulja Boy or something like that. Soulja Boy cranking those cranky pants. It's probably been long enough that it's probably pretty affordable. Yeah. That type of license. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. You crank those cranky pants. Wow, that's good stuff. Yeah, that's good. Something like that. Just use that, Daniel. Oh, fantastic. Well done. Congratulations. We'll be back tomorrow.

[00:37:52] Fifth episode of Paris is Always a Good Idea. That's going to be a lot of fun. An interview on Thursday. Who could it be joining DTH? Don't know. Is it new person or a replicate? Okay. I don't know. Duplicate was right there. Duplicate. Dang it. All right. We'll be back tomorrow for that. And then, Mary, we first wish you a Mary. Merry Christmas. Happy fall.
