[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_01]: One more time. Hi, I'm Brandon. I love Hallmark January movies. You went downhill fast. I like Hallmark January movies. I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark January movies and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Hi, everybody. It's great to be here today. Is it? Yeah. I gotta tell you, it's tough because this happens every year.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I just say really quickly, our Way Home episode is coming out obviously later this week, I believe on Wednesday or Thursday.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah. But... Thursday. Thursday. Of course.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_03]: But... I'm talking about When Calls the Heart. I know, I know.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_03]: But our friends over at Girls Gone Homework already has their episode out.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, really? I listened to it and really enjoyed their listening to their thoughts on the premiere of the season, so go check it out.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you listen to it like after you watched the...

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_03]: ...the episode?

[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Not before.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how you get it.

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I'm not crazy.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not crazy.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Some people do it.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_03]: So go check out our friends over at Girls Gone Homework. They're covering the show as well.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And so it's always fun to hear our thoughts versus other people's thoughts and stuff.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sometimes.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I like listening to some different stuff.

[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes we don't represent...

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And they've already done the...

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So they say.

[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_03]: What is it? Under...

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Missile...

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_03]: What is it?

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Check that out.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_03]: They're crushing it.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_03]: They're crushing it.

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Braywood Jam Podcasts.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I would expect nothing else.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing else.

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It's great to be here on a Tuesday talking about the first...

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Back in session.

[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_03]: ...new Hallmark movie of the year.

[00:02:14] [SPEAKER_03]: And I gotta say, this is exciting for those of you that are watching us on Philo.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'm gonna keep pushing this because I just think it's great.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: You can add Hallmark Plus to your Philo account.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_03]: And starting this year, 2025, they are putting these movies the day after they release.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_03]: It used to be they would put them on Peacock without the ads.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Now they're putting them on Hallmark Plus without the ads.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_03]: So you can watch all of that right on...

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_03]: One app.

[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Philo.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: One app.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Used to be three apps.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I know.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Used to be Philo, Peacock, Hallmark Plus.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_05]: You probably can't do one app.

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_05]: One app.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_05]: What?

[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_05]: On your DVR, one button ad skip.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Hallmark Plus, no ads at all.

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's amazing.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's phenomenal.

[00:02:56] [SPEAKER_05]: You've been at the B's game?

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a lot of fun.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Scored four goals.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So go check that out.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And if you're like, I don't know how to do that.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I did do a video over break about how to add Hallmark Plus to your Philo account.

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: So check out our socials.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_03]: It was okay.

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I watched it.

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Add Deck the Hallmark.

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you like it?

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I love it.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you watch it?

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I did.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: God, no.

[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Did you watch anything?

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Did you watch anything?

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I do.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_05]: No, there's some reels that you put out I thought were really good.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_05]: That was a real.

[00:03:23] [SPEAKER_05]: The tapas thing?

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I forgot about that completely.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I did too.

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_05]: And I watched the beat and I was like, that was really funny.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Occasionally we-

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_05]: That was funny.

[00:03:30] [SPEAKER_05]: We'd be funny every now and then.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_05]: A tapas.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_05]: A tapas.

[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_05]: A tapas.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Singular.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_05]: One tapas.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That does get us to love the Irish.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Tapas of the morning to you.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Love of the Irish.

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_05]: See what we did there?

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_03]: That does get us to love of the Irish.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Finally.

[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Which I think we all-

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_03]: You didn't tapas.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_03]: You didn't tapas.

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_03]: You did not tapas.

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I did not.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't tapas.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_03]: What did, uh, Aaron, could you maybe by the hot takes pull up what we rated during

[00:03:59] [SPEAKER_03]: the ranking episode?

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: These movies, yes.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Previous of you.

[00:04:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I don't remember what I thought-

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: What I thought I was going to think of Love of the Irish.

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't remember what I thought I was going to think of.

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_03]: How could you?

[00:04:07] [SPEAKER_03]: That's where we are.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: How could you?

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Those are preview episodes, everybody.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Those preview episodes are important.

[00:04:10] [SPEAKER_03]: They're preview episodes.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about it.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Love of the Irish originally-

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_03]: What did we say?

[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Three tapas.

[00:04:15] [SPEAKER_05]: You gave it three-

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Both of us, Sid Bran.

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Three orders.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Three plates of tapas.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Three plates of tapas.

[00:04:22] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of space on the table.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Three tapas.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's talk about it.

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Love of the Irish originally premiered on the Homework Channel on January 4th.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: January 4th.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_05]: You want to go back to that preview?

[00:04:32] [SPEAKER_05]: You want to look back at that preview?

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Do a look-

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Should we jump into the look-

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a look-back.

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_05]: January-

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_05]: We're going to look-

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_03]: We're going to look back during the hot take.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: How about that?

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Perfect.

[00:04:41] [SPEAKER_03]: January 4th, 2025, and the next day, Hallmark Plus, which you can get on Filo, on the

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Hallmark Channel, and it went a little something like this.

[00:04:48] [SPEAKER_04]: It's winter in the big city in Fiona.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, it's a winter movie.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_04]: It's winter.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, one day that snows for a scene?

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a really easy transition for Christmas, isn't it?

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm doing fine.

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And Fiona is working another catering shift.

[00:05:08] [SPEAKER_03]: She needs to leave early for her ballet audition, but her boss warns her that if she leaves,

[00:05:14] [SPEAKER_03]: she'll be fired.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Desperate for advice, she calls her mom, who tells her not to quit the catering gig.

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Ignoring mom's advice, Fiona quits anyway, only to discover that she didn't get the ballet

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: gig.

[00:05:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, Fiona's mom is working on an old clock.

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess that's her business.

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_03]: When she notices some words on the back of a clock that translate to, it's not too late.

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Now, first it says, too late.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:05:47] [SPEAKER_03]: And this is why you always feel back the whole thing before you translate it.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's important.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Can you imagine seeing something that just says, too late?

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, no.

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Makes sense to me.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_05]: I feel like we've been here before.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I did this last year.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Is she a slap in three days?

[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_03]: She pulls out an envelope, but she tries to hide it when Fiona arrives at the house.

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Curious, Fiona takes a look at that card and learns that her mom's birth mother reached

[00:06:14] [SPEAKER_03]: out to her and wants to meet her for the first time.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Fiona's pumped about this and insists, we're going to Ireland.

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Her mom is more hesitant because, you know, it's been a long time since she got this card,

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_03]: but eventually they make the trip.

[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Once in Ireland, they head to a pub immediately because Ireland, where Fiona bumps into a

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_03]: charming guy.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_03]: She impresses everybody with their dart skills and then pirouettes out of there.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Find a lucky penny, will you?

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_03]: And decides that good fortune must be on the way.

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I got a lucky penny.

[00:06:48] [SPEAKER_03]: This is going to be great.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_03]: While exploring the town, she notices a storefront for sale.

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And for reasons I'm unsure of, that catches her eye.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Have you ever been on vacation and seen a for sale sign gone?

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You know what?

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Now's the time.

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, it happens in Hallmark movies all the time.

[00:07:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It does all the time.

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Shortly after that, a young girl compliments her dart skills and her dance skills.

[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Truly boosts her confidence.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what she needed.

[00:07:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Determined to learn more about her mom's letter, Fiona asked a local for help.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_03]: She directs them to somebody who might have the answers because the post office is closed.

[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_03]: It is none other than Liam, the guy from the pub.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Though Liam doesn't offer much help.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: He does take her to a wishing tree and cryptically says, good luck kid.

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: You got this.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Make a wish.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Take a chance.

[00:07:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Make a change.

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Break away.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And she does break away from her mom for 75% of the book.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes, for a while.

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Eventually, Fiona does track down her birth mother, but her mom can't force, can't like get herself to introduce herself yet.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_03]: So she just kind of gets to know her.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Later, they attend a community service dance.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a dance at a community center.

[00:08:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And Fiona realizes that the young girl who admired her earlier is Liam's daughter.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Whoa.

[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Fiona's mom starts spending time with her birth mom, but she doesn't reveal her identity.

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: She just kind of gets to know her.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Meanwhile, Fiona and Liam grow closer as she shows, as he shows her the beauty of Ireland.

[00:08:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Fiona shares her dream of opening a dance studio, but then she receives a call that she might have to have another chance at that ballet gig from back home.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Liam's like, you got to do it.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_03]: You got to go.

[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_03]: You got to go.

[00:08:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Absolutely.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_03]: At the last moment, Fiona changes her mind and decides that she's going to buy the storefront that she saw earlier in the movie.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, it's already been sold.

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Fiona's mom finally confesses the truth to her birth mother.

[00:08:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And together, they help Fiona figure out who the buyer is, and they try to negotiate another sale.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_03]: The guy's like, no, I'm not selling it.

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: And so she's like, will you rent it to me?

[00:09:04] [SPEAKER_03]: And he says, I will do that.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And so, yay for her.

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_03]: But she didn't buy it.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So, you know.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Move for her.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Move for her.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Move for her.

[00:09:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Locked in.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_03]: In the end, Liam is thrilled to learn that Fiona is staying.

[00:09:21] [SPEAKER_03]: The dance studio becomes a huge success, and the movie ends with a kiss between Fiona and Liam.

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: And now my friends was...

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Love of the Irish!

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_05]: We did it!

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Round of applause!

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_03]: In the books!

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you guys remember this one?

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, bring it around.

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_01]: Round of applause!

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Bring it around.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's do this.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a break.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll break this one down with four seconds.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I think we're going to stick with the same four segments.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_03]: For this whole year?

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_05]: New Year's Same Us is what you're saying.

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_05]: That's what I'm saying.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Got a chance to mix it up.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Not this year.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe Razzle Dazzle.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Maybe Razzle Dazzle.

[00:09:55] [SPEAKER_05]: We haven't talked about it.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_05]: We haven't talked about it at all.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_05]: We should maybe talk about it a little.

[00:09:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, everybody.

[00:10:10] [SPEAKER_03]: We're talking Love of the Irish today on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_03]: The first non-Christmas movie since watching...

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_03]: What was it?

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_03]: 40?

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: 41?

[00:10:20] [SPEAKER_03]: The terrestrial channels played?

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Terrestrial.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:10:23] [SPEAKER_05]: With the plus.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_05]: And summer, it was 50.

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_05]: So without that, 47.

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_05]: 47 Christmas movies.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_05]: We had to watch a few groomsmen in there.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I had to watch a few of them.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get to Love of the Irish, shall we?

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Ranking?

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Are we going to do the draft recap?

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_03]: We do need to announce the winner of the $500 grand prize of the draft at some point.

[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_03]: I've got to tally some votes.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, sure.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_05]: But also, did you put all your stuff in?

[00:11:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I did last week.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, of course you did.

[00:11:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Of course I did.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_05]: Come on, huh?

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_05]: It's money involved.

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Also, we're like, what, 12 days away from the deckies?

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Wow.

[00:11:28] [SPEAKER_01]: 12 days away from the deckies.

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: That's crazy.

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: What did you think of Love of the Irish?

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, first of all, super relatable.

[00:11:34] [SPEAKER_01]: Who hasn't drunkenly booked an international trip for the next morning?

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: We all have been there.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Right out of the gate.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I see myself in this.

[00:11:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a tough ask though for any movie to come out of Christmas.

[00:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: And so what are you supposed to do?

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, you can't...

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Why try?

[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, what's the point?

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Right?

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: So I get what we got.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I get what we got.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It wasn't like that fun.

[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_01]: We all got what we got.

[00:12:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Three of five.

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: How are...

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: How are you...

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I did say three tapas.

[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Which, you know, I can't defend that now.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really...

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: This was okay for me.

[00:12:12] [SPEAKER_01]: It was just okay on the lower side of okay.

[00:12:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, in Brian vernacular means this movie should die a slow death.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't...

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Go back to Ireland.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:12:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Liam's daughter, I thought was...

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_01]: When she like hit her groove where she was being kind of like giving him a tood, like

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: an attitude.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: A tood.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I love that.

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That was really fun.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_01]: When she's like...

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: He's like, she's gone.

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you want me to do?

[00:12:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And she's like, oh, like ask her to stay like you did the other one type of thing.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And she was kind of giving him...

[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, that was great.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I like the mom story where she's trying to find her biological mother.

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, thank you for that.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Other than that, I was kind of bored otherwise.

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_01]: And so just, eh, just okay out of the gate.

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_05]: That's a generous, generous take from Brian Harold.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm talking like he's the Santa Claus of takes.

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_05]: That is like a...

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_05]: One gift left and I used it today.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Your movie's not a complete another dumpster fire.

[00:13:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, ho, ho, ho.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it's a secret at this point that we started this podcast out of a love

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_03]: of my love for Hallmark Christmas movies and Christmas in general.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_03]: And truth be told, before this podcast, I never really watched non-Hallmark Christmas

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_03]: movies.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_05]: It took us a long time.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_05]: We watched the Winter Castle one, but we held off as long as we could on watching...

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_03]: We did a little bit of fall of that boat leading up to Christmas.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That's true, that's true.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: We did.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But yeah, that's like as close to Christmas as you can get.

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And so this is...

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah, we watched that Peña Vega on a boat.

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's true.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Summer Villa at a good time.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Should have quit then.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_03]: So, I always struggle post Christmas because I'm sad and I'm turning to alcohol and I'm

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_03]: like not in the mood.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Begging for help.

[00:14:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm not in the mood for this because it's like, let's just keep doing Christmas.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_03]: You guys do the thing and it's fun and I like it and you start in mid-October.

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Why not go until like mid-January?

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Why stop there?

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Why not go until Christmas in July?

[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_05]: You want them to keep showing new Christmas movies in January?

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I would like...

[00:14:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm a proponent of this.

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes!

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_04]: I would take a new...

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_05]: It's gotta end sometime, buddy.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_05]: So you can start the next one.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it does.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_04]: It doesn't because when you do...

[00:14:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Buddy, it does.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_04]: When you do, you get this, Dan.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_04]: You get Love of the Irish and I'm not in the mood.

[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not in the mood for this.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not in the mood for this.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not in the mood for you to meet your mom.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm in the mood for some freaking Holly and Jollies.

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_04]: That's what I'm in the mood for.

[00:14:57] [SPEAKER_03]: And so I'm frustrated.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sad.

[00:14:59] [SPEAKER_03]: You don't sound a little...

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sad.

[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm sad because all I want is some Christmas.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:15:04] [SPEAKER_03]: All I want is some Christmas.

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Sounds like it, yeah.

[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And all I get is some Irish...

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_03]: Jigs.

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like, there were some nice parts to this movie.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_03]: There were some good performances.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I did like some of it.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But all I kept thinking while I was watching this

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_03]: was I wish it was Christmas.

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not anymore.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_03]: When's it even gonna be Christmas again?

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_03]: When's it gonna be Christmas again?

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_03]: Pull up the book, Dan.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I got you.

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_03]: When's it gonna be Christmas again?

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_03]: That's the book.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_03]: If you're wondering.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_03]: If you're wondering.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_05]: It's good all year long, guys.

[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_03]: It's good all year, especially in January.

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, it's a great book for January.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_03]: When you have to watch an Irish movie.

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_05]: I have been hearing about Christmas a lot at my household.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, rightfully so.

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Between that and what am I gonna be for Halloween,

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_05]: which probably should be the sequel in all honesty

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_05]: because I gotta stop that conversation.

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_05]: They're like, well, we're gonna do this for Halloween.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_05]: It's January, kid.

[00:15:50] [SPEAKER_05]: Just take a...

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a good book title.

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_03]: All I have to say, the movie's fine.

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not Christmas, so I'm sad.

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Dan?

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_05]: First of all, I need to be very clear.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_05]: We don't condone Brian's language.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I would never on this show or anywhere else

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_05]: say anything near that.

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_05]: So, you wouldn't even have a...

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_05]: You just go to your war room there, and that's fine.

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_05]: You do you, but that's not what Brian and I do.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Right.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay?

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Second of all...

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Not on my worst day.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, there's a lot...

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a lot of lenses for which you can view this movie.

[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, if like...

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_05]: From like a real movie lens, like you can't see it, obviously.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_05]: You can't see it from there.

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not...

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a rubble.

[00:16:27] [SPEAKER_05]: You just can't see it.

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_05]: From a Hallmark movie lens, it sucks.

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a very, very bad Hallmark movie.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_05]: But I prefer to view this through the early January lens,

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_05]: which after Michael Rady's and Amy T. Garden's New Year's movie,

[00:16:47] [SPEAKER_05]: which I do believe came out around January 1,

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_05]: which that movie in retrospect slaps.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, I at the time probably said it wasn't any good.

[00:16:57] [SPEAKER_05]: That doesn't sound like you.

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_05]: In retrospect...

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_05]: No.

[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not a thing I know.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_05]: For a January 1 to 10 movie, it's Casablanca.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, it's fantastic.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay?

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Since that movie, the first movie of January for Hallmark is utter garbage.

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, guys, go back and listen to some of the first January movies that we've done.

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_05]: It's brutal.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_05]: And so, by that measurement...

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_05]: At least they're winter?

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_05]: But by that measurement, this movie has two good performances in it.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a terrible...

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Guys, it's a terrible movie.

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Just leaving the next morning, like you said, Brian.

[00:17:36] [SPEAKER_05]: The fact that she goes...

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_05]: And a lot of these are wait what's.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't want to give them away.

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_05]: But the attention they give to this biological mom plot subplot

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_05]: that you mentioned in your synopsis is not nearly enough.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Uh-huh.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_05]: This movie's a mess.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_05]: It is color-corrected Ireland.

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_05]: It's a really, really tough watch.

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_05]: It is not the worst opening January movie I've seen from Hallmark.

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_05]: It's not bottom three.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_05]: There have...

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, I have very...

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, almost PTSD from some of these movies.

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_05]: We...

[00:18:05] [SPEAKER_05]: There was a Gin Lily one that we did with Jax

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_05]: that's one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_05]: So, I'm trying to keep in perspective that this week the movie is going to be terrible.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I said zero.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I knew it was going to be terrible.

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_05]: It met the standard.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_05]: It met the standard of zero.

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_05]: It did it.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm doing my best here.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_01]: It met your expectations more than anybody on this panel.

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's get to all the feels we were talking about.

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: What in the city of the city of the fields?

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Brian?

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the mom having her moment with her mom.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Nice.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Really well acted.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Very nice.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Very nice.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm glad they had that moment.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Like, I felt like they had space there to do that.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And that was great.

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: But there was a song in this movie called Irish Eyes by Rose.

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Dang it!

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_01]: That's fine!

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Come on!

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We all like the song!

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Rose Betts!

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: We all like the song!

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_01]: I've listened to it after.

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I've listened to it a lot.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_05]: She has really great music.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I gotta be honest.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_05]: I said Feels Irish Eyes by Rose Betts.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_05]: I literally...

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Very rarely...

[00:19:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, if I Shazam a song, that's either real...

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_05]: It means the movie's real good or real bad.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Real bad.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_05]: And I haven't Shazammed anything ever.

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I just Googled it obviously.

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose Betts is out there being like, why do so many people Shazammed me?

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Three guys from Green Girl, I Shazammed me!

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Great song.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_05]: The song's great.

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_05]: That's the feels.

[00:19:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I think we can all agree there.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Right?

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_05]: 100%.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_01]: 100%.

[00:19:20] [SPEAKER_01]: She's a great Instagram follow too because she's really funny.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_01]: You follow her on Instagram?

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_04]: I checked out her Instagram.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Did you get that far?

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I wrote that down and stopped.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_04]: Dan and I did the normal thing where we Shazammed it went, that's nice.

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, I went a few steps ahead.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_04]: And that was...

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I went a few steps down the road, okay.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Went a few fingers deep on the whiskey, if you will.

[00:19:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, sometimes you do.

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose Betts.

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Bet you won't.

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose freaking Betts.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's take a break.

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll come back.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That's how you say an F word.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll get to the wait, what, the homework.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Kieran!

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_03]: The homework!

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Freaking homework!

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Please follow her on Instagram.

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I checked out her Instagram.

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_05]: I love that all of us hated this movie and Rose Betts made the cut for all of us.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Rose Betts!

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Shout out Rose Betts.

[00:20:03] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought I was going to be alone there.

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought I was going to be like, you know, I'm going to bring some positivity to this.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Rose Betts, great song.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Great song.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Nope.

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_05]: It was really nice.

[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_05]: They played the whole track too.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, so we got a lot of that song.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get to the wait, what, so we're talking about what in the minutes go, wait, what?

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll start with you.

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Right.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Sure.

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like a part of me throughout this movie was like, I don't think the people of Ireland

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: would really agree with the portrayal of them in this movie.

[00:20:26] [SPEAKER_01]: It just felt like every Irish person, their job is to like encourage the American traveler.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Like everything they said felt like you have to have like an Irish saying or like get introspective.

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And like, I don't think they're all doing that all the time.

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_05]: It felt like everyone who was Irish in this movie was directed to speak a little bit more,

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_05]: a little bit more American than you normally would, but say basically only the things the

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_05]: leprechaun on the Lucky Charms box would say.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:20:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, and that's the worst combination of Ireland.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It came across.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a nightmare.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it was real obvious.

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_01]: The other thing too, they walk, when they walk into that pub, her mom goes pool table

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: two o'clock and that thing couldn't have been more 12 noon.

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: We've been here.

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Then they don't know the clock.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_01]: They don't know the clock in Hallmark.

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_05]: It was so straight in front of her.

[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_05]: They just say two o'clock.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm pretty sure big boss, man, Jeffrey's two o'clock was the same thing.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Same thing.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: They don't follow the clock.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:21:22] [SPEAKER_01]: If we had one time zone, then different story story.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And that a door that only locks from the outside is tough for a room that you're in

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_01]: and out of.

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I think it's tough when you've got a tourist who shows up and you don't tell them.

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's when it's tough.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:21:39] [SPEAKER_05]: It'd be one thing if you know it.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: When I worked at...

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_05]: What's the benefit of it?

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's talk to Benny's.

[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's back up.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Before we get to benefits, I worked at a small private school that had a door that once

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_05]: it locked, there was no...

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Like you could not get it unlocked.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_05]: No, turning back.

[00:21:57] [SPEAKER_05]: And they couldn't find the key for it.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_05]: You were in there.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_05]: But that makes sense.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_05]: And everybody knew it.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Everybody knew it.

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_05]: It was in the gym.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Everybody knew it.

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_05]: And there was literally in the 10 years I was there, it was never a problem.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_05]: It happens.

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Places do that and they're like, we're just not going to get this fixed.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Could we call a locksmith and get this thing taken care of for a couple hundred bucks?

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_05]: How does it happen to begin with though?

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Like losing the key makes a lot of sense.

[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_05]: But do you like when you're installing door?

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Well, nowadays you can't install new doors like that.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_05]: But in the old days you could install doors that lock from the inside.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_05]: You could install doors that would cut people's fingers off back then.

[00:22:34] [SPEAKER_05]: The only thing is this is, whatever happens to them.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: I do a kid that happens to them.

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_05]: The fact that the door exists in this movie, my problem is that you have a tourist and she

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_05]: is holding the door open and at no point do you go, hey, real quick.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_05]: BT Dubs, if you close that door.

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Another funny Irish thing.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_05]: We stuck.

[00:22:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Fun fact about that door.

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_05]: We stuck.

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_05]: You can't do that.

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_05]: You want to keep going or is that?

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_01]: No, that was good.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_03]: I think we nailed that pretty good.

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, she walks into her mom's place and she has takeouts from, and she says this everywhere

[00:23:08] [SPEAKER_03]: and you can't get takeout from everywhere and expect any of it to still be good by the

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_03]: time you get to where you're going.

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the last place.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe the last place.

[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_03]: But the first place doesn't stay that chance.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_03]: No way.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_03]: No way.

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel bad for that first place.

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I feel bad for it.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, she is walking around Ireland and she comes across a flower stand.

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, stand and the flowers.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: The sales person's tells her name is Daisy and she doesn't react.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Can you imagine?

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_03]: We all reacted.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Everyone's reacting.

[00:23:45] [SPEAKER_03]: When you find out that a flower sales person is named Daisy, you're going to be like, that's

[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_03]: crazy.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that your real name?

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Is it Rose?

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Rose Fetz?

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_03]: She didn't even respond, which is an insane thing.

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, shout out to the person who is running locks for luck and doesn't give any information

[00:24:06] [SPEAKER_03]: as to what that is or what it means.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_03]: All they do say is locks for luck.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I assume it's something like locks for love.

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know.

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Right?

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_05]: You would, you might assume it.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_05]: We don't know.

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_05]: She's not going to tell you anything.

[00:24:17] [SPEAKER_05]: She's not going to tell you.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_03]: She's just going to look at you and she's going to say locks for luck.

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's it.

[00:24:22] [SPEAKER_03]: That's all she's going to tell you.

[00:24:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, they do this thing when they go out to the, uh, the trees and you put a ribbon

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_03]: on the tree and it knocks the tree over.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_05]: That's right.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_03]: He's like, you should make a wish.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_03]: And she's like, I don't have a ribbon.

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, well, lucky you.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I have one in my pocket.

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And she says, you have one of those in your pocket.

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And he laughs and doesn't respond.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Does this man always have ribbon in pockets for the women that he's bringing out to the

[00:24:53] [SPEAKER_04]: wishing tree?

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_03]: Him, him laughing is the worst possible reaction.

[00:24:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That's not right.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_03]: It's not great.

[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_03]: The worst possible reaction.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You can't do that.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Hey, you always have one of those in your pockets.

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

[00:25:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, oh.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_04]: Don't you know it.

[00:25:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh, oh.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, oh.

[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Last but not least.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Imagine going all the way to Ireland on a whim.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Mm-hmm.

[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_03]: And while you're there, one of the first things within the first couple of days, one of the

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_03]: first things you choose to do is attending a dance at a community center.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Guys, I don't know how long I'd have to be in Ireland for me to go at a community center

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_03]: dance.

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But it's way longer than she was there.

[00:25:36] [SPEAKER_03]: I just, there's no world.

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I couldn't believe it, but good for her.

[00:25:39] [SPEAKER_03]: She's a better person than me.

[00:25:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: She's a better person than me.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Dan?

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Brian, you touched on it a little bit with the fact that you booked a trip to go overseas

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_05]: for 10 days the night before.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_05]: You also did that while you were unemployed, which is-

[00:25:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Went without saying there, yeah.

[00:25:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, she did, her mom didn't pay for that.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_05]: She, who has that kind of month?

[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Like, you just dipped into savings there?

[00:26:00] [SPEAKER_05]: She's got her mom's credit card up there.

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_05]: What happened?

[00:26:02] [SPEAKER_05]: What's an emergency fund for?

[00:26:04] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 days on.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 days in Ireland for two people?

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_05]: What?

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_05]: 10 grand?

[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_01]: She got a flash sale email maybe?

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_05]: For the next day, those flights-

[00:26:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Those points expire.

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But also, to that same point though, when she found out that she got the, or might be

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: up for the gig again at the end of the movie, did she go ahead, did she buy a flight back?

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_03]: They flew her back.

[00:26:30] [SPEAKER_03]: They flew her back.

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_01]: For the audition.

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so they maybe paid for that.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_01]: They flew her back.

[00:26:34] [SPEAKER_05]: And then, yes.

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, she-

[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_01]: She still paid around trips.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Still.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_05]: There's no way around the fact that she booked a 10-day Irish vacation the night before while

[00:26:46] [SPEAKER_05]: unemployed.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Sometimes you do those things.

[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_05]: And all that takeout?

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, come on.

[00:26:50] [SPEAKER_05]: She's made of money?

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Takeout from everywhere.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Everywhere.

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, the reason you're supposed to have a few months of salary in your bank account

[00:26:56] [SPEAKER_05]: is not to book a 10-day-

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Are you kidding me?

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's call Dave.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's call Dave Ray.

[00:27:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's hear his thoughts on it.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So I found my mom looking at a card that I didn't know about.

[00:27:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And I didn't- I lost job.

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: But-

[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's what you do.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's what you do.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She didn't have mom.

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_05]: You have any debt?

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Her story's closed.

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Murder your mom.

[00:27:18] [SPEAKER_05]: You murder your mom.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_05]: You sell the house.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_05]: You pay off your debt.

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Get the life insurance money.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_03]: At least-

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_03]: But first, you gotta murder your mom.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That's first.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to murder your mom.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You gotta murder your mom.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Her mom has money coming in, right?

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: That's right.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_03]: If you don't have murdered mom envelope, what are you doing?

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_05]: Before you can give generously, you need to pay off your debt and murder mom.

[00:27:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Flip that.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_05]: So people in Ireland as a whole are so impressed that she can spin once before throwing a dart.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_05]: I've never seen a group of people just bewildered.

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_05]: They're not impressed that she threw a bullseye.

[00:27:51] [SPEAKER_05]: They make it very clear.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_05]: They're like, how'd you do that?

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_05]: She's like, what?

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Throw the bullseye?

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_05]: They're like, no.

[00:27:55] [SPEAKER_05]: How'd you do that spin thing?

[00:27:58] [SPEAKER_05]: What is this ballet you speak of?

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_05]: They talk to her.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_05]: She doesn't do a full routine.

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_05]: She just spins once.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_04]: To show you how unimpressed I was by it.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't know it was ballet.

[00:28:07] [SPEAKER_04]: I didn't catch it.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_04]: I thought she was impressed by the bullseye.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_04]: No.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no, no, no.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_04]: The whole girl's impressed by the dance.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_04]: And it wasn't a dance.

[00:28:15] [SPEAKER_04]: Spinning.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_04]: Just a spin.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Anyone here could have done what she did.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_05]: Not bullseye, necessarily.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Never.

[00:28:20] [SPEAKER_05]: But the spin wasn't a ballet move at all.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_05]: There's nothing ballet about it.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_05]: You could possibly do it.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_05]: I just, it was crazy.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_05]: I know.

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I have a little bit of Irish heritage, but, and so I'm going to use that little bit of

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Irish heritage that I have.

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Five days into the year.

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_05]: To be completely offended that this movie decided to include a potato peeling contest.

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Why?

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Why?

[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_05]: Why?

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Why?

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_05]: A bad one at that.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_05]: Why?

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_05]: You can do, it doesn't, guys, just because you're in Ireland doesn't mean you've got this

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_05]: weird.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_05]: Rub it in their faces.

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Like box, like this list of things that you think, well, they need to be in this room

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_05]: for something.

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_05]: What if it's a potato peeling contest?

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Shut up, racist Gary.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_05]: Actually, it's not a bad idea.

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, wait.

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Did you say potato?

[00:29:06] [SPEAKER_04]: We could peel potatoes.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Racist Gary still kick rocks, but it's not a bad idea.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: You're the broken clocks right.

[00:29:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Bruce Aaron asking me if it's more offensive than luck of the Irish.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I'm not asking.

[00:29:15] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm really.

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm agreeing with you.

[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_05]: As a more Irish person than me, more offensive than luck of the Irish, and I would agree

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_05]: with that statement.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_05]: What in the world are you doing?

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_05]: You could do anything.

[00:29:27] [SPEAKER_05]: It could be a house building.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_05]: It could be cake baking.

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_05]: What if they peel potatoes?

[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's see who does it the best.

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_05]: That's super Irish.

[00:29:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Luck on the balones.

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_04]: What are you doing?

[00:29:37] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll do potato peeling.

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_04]: We'll do four-leaf clover.

[00:29:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Anyone else got anything?

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_04]: Anything else?

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Get a pot of gold.

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Beer!

[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Good gosh, man.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Include beer!

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:29:48] [SPEAKER_05]: I do want to point out, this isn't as funny a white what, but if your mom has been holding

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_05]: a letter from her biological mom and has been on the cards about whether or not to respond

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_05]: and you take her to Ireland and you take her to Ireland and then do all of the detective work without telling her to find her mom that she may or may not want to speak to, you're terrible.

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_05]: You're a terrible human being.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_05]: You're a terrible human being.

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_05]: Unlike Bran in January where he just needs to get over it and we need to move on and rip

[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_05]: it off like a band-aid.

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_05]: When it comes to something like this, you need to let people move at their own speed, not force

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_05]: them into meeting their biological mom until they want to do it.

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Are you kidding me right now?

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_05]: And then lastly, and I do have to point this out, this Irish hunk that owns a bar can come

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_05]: up with, he can brew beer and come up with perfect literary puns as names for that beer on the fly like it's his job.

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_05]: And when he's asked, why don't you serve any of these beers?

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_05]: His response is, I don't think anyone would be interested in that.

[00:31:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think there's a market for people that love beer and books that want fun, catchy names.

[00:31:15] [SPEAKER_05]: It's something that I do and I can come up with like that across the spectrum of different eras of literature and types of literature.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_05]: I just, I've got like a memory that just pop, pop, pop, pop, but would people like?

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think so.

[00:31:29] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's just for me.

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Keep that to yourself.

[00:31:31] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't think that's for anybody else.

[00:31:33] [SPEAKER_05]: Keep that in your locked shed.

[00:31:35] [SPEAKER_05]: I think that's for me.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Back to my potatoes.

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Like what in the world is happening in this movie?

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_05]: That's all I got.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's get to what the hallmarks were.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_03]: We wonder what could have been.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Maybe have it gets a clear.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Any questions that we still have?

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_03]: What are we still wondering about this movie, Brian?

[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Dan, you mentioned we didn't get a lot of the mother, the biological mother story.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's what I want to know.

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I'd like more of her story.

[00:31:57] [SPEAKER_01]: That would have been great.

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_01]: That would have been really interesting to hear about.

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm kind of left with that.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_01]: There is no like what happened, right?

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_03]: Nothing at all.

[00:32:06] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_03]: That's crazy.

[00:32:09] [SPEAKER_03]: So at the end of this movie, there's the dance studio, the empty space that is for sale.

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It sells to this guy.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_03]: And she goes down and she's like, I want to buy this from you.

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And he's like, it's been in my family for a long time, except for the time that it wasn't.

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: What happened?

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_03]: What happened with this space that the family decided it's not worth it anymore?

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_03]: They sell it.

[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And then somebody else for an unknown amount of time, he maybe says it, but an unknown amount of time.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_03]: And then they sell it again back to the family.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_03]: What happened?

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_03]: What happened to the family that they needed to sell it?

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_03]: And what happened to this space that the person who bought it to begin with was like, all right, it's not a good investment.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It might not be a good investment.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_03]: There might be something wrong with this place.

[00:33:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_05]: Damn.

[00:33:07] [SPEAKER_05]: Early in this movie, our leading lady says the line, I'm basically a meme for failure.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_05]: And I would like to know in what year was that line written?

[00:33:17] [SPEAKER_05]: That's all I've got.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it, everybody.

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations to us.

[00:33:20] [SPEAKER_03]: We've got a big week ahead of us.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Of course, we've got The Way Home coming up.

[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_03]: We've got the premiere of When Calls the Heart.

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_03]: We've got another Maywag.

[00:33:28] [SPEAKER_03]: But none more important than Double Decker of the Week is where we dive deep into the life.

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_04]: That's where we dive deep into the life of a Double Decker.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Double Decker of the Week.

[00:33:42] [SPEAKER_03]: That's where we dive deep into the life of a Double Decker.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's sign up for Bramajam Plus at the Double Decker tier or higher.

[00:33:49] [SPEAKER_03]: I guess you have a lot of goodies, but none more important.

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_03]: That Brian dives deep into your personal life and then airs that dirty laundry on the air.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_05]: Dan, who do we have today?

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_05]: We have Christine Poore.

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Christine Poore.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_05]: I've been nervous about this one.

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Christine noticed a lot of things have been getting technological advancements.

[00:34:09] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if you noticed things that didn't used to have technology in them.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So Christine saw a little gap in the market and realized something that's been kind of left out here.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Rain boots.

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I was just saying about this the other day.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_01]: I figured.

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I thought you might have been.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_01]: That's a lot of cartoons.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Cartoons got saved.

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Those are the two things.

[00:34:27] [SPEAKER_01]: When are rain boots going to finally get the ooh-ooh?

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So Christine came up with a little tech.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I feel like everybody's going to be seeing it.

[00:34:34] [SPEAKER_01]: I hope it doesn't get knocked off too quick.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_05]: What do you mean knocked off?

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Somebody's going to kill it?

[00:34:37] [SPEAKER_01]: People start picking it up and doing their own version.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:34:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But I feel like she's going to corner the market pretty quick.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a rain boot that helps you, reminds you about it when it starts raining

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: so you don't forget to put them on.

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_01]: It starts raining.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so it knows that it's going to rain today.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_03]: You should put on it.

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a smart rain boot.

[00:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Put me on.

[00:34:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Sort of like that.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It's super smart.

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So you're walking out the door and you open the door and it's raining and the boot

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_01]: goes, oh my galoshes.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: To remind you.

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_05]: That's a whiskey laugh.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_05]: You don't get to kill.

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_01]: To get your galoshes on because it's raining outside.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my galoshes.

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my galoshes.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_05]: Does it say that to you when you open the door?

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_05]: It does.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_05]: So in my head, this is like monitoring the weather and it just sends an alert to your phone.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_05]: This speaks?

[00:35:24] [SPEAKER_05]: There's a speaker?

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_05]: It kind of watches you.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_04]: It's not just speaking either.

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_04]: No, it knows.

[00:35:28] [SPEAKER_04]: It listens to you opening the door and says, oh my galoshes.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_04]: So it's a device, correct me if I'm wrong, that's always listening whether you want it

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_04]: to or not.

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_01]: And watching from what I discovered is watching you.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: And so it knows kind of like when you're going for the door and sometimes it'll kind

[00:35:48] [SPEAKER_01]: of get to know your patterns.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_01]: So you might get a quick, oh my galoshes real quick before you even get to the door.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: This is a horror movie.

[00:35:54] [SPEAKER_01]: How accurate is it?

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Like a door creaks open.

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_01]: How accurate is it?

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: It gets better.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Okay.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: It gets smarter.

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_01]: So it works faster, stronger.

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: There's a little AI model built in there.

[00:36:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course.

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, there's one thing I've learned over the past year.

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_03]: It's that if there's a little AI, they'll talk about it like it's a big AI.

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_01]: That's how we're going to talk about it.

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So these rain boots are all AI.

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_01]: All 100% AI.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: They barely protect you from the rain.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_01]: It's basically the one downside.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, how are they as rain boots?

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_01]: That's the biggest complaint is not great in the rain.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_01]: But they do go, oh my galoshes.

[00:36:26] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean, I would assume it'd be like if you don't have some waterproof tech on the AI computer portion of the boot, that would be a problem.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, Dan, I think that is a problem.

[00:36:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my galosh.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my galoshes.

[00:36:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that the name of the company?

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I love it.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:36:40] [SPEAKER_03]: How much does a pair of boots, a smart boots, cost?

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Because I've got to be honest with you, I've never bought rain boots to begin with.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, really?

[00:36:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but I have no idea.

[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_01]: These are a very fair $249.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_01]: $249 is very specific.

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_01]: There's only one style.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_01]: $249.

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's very fair, it sounds like, for one time use.

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Except they don't really.

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I ask you this really quickly?

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_03]: One thing I'm worried about is tech around water.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And this device is specifically for it.

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_03]: For water.

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_03]: And you said it doesn't work.

[00:37:10] [SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_03]: It's for.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_01]: The purpose is pre-water, really, is where it shines.

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so it doesn't actually.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my galoshes is more like just a warning.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: You might want to get a real rain boot.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm getting at.

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, fair.

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Fair, fair, fair.

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_03]: $249 might be a ripoff.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what I'm finding out.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: We're testing the market.

[00:37:28] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay, she's just figuring it out.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_03]: We're there, everybody.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Thanks, Christine.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Congratulations to us.
