Yeah, I actually don't know Yeah, I mean we sold out last year So we're trying to prep for that But I would, just in case I'd probably get yourself a copy right now Absolutely And then Brian, what are people saying about O Christmas Con? Oh, our new book? Yeah, are people saying stuff about it? People are saying something Many are saying People are saying stuff People like what they're reading Yeah They think it's fun They like the characters They think it's super festive

[00:04:13] It's basically a necessity You think so? Yeah, and I'm also hearing If you find yourself on Harrison Avenue in Panama City, Florida Oh! Why don't you pop on in a bookish boutique? It's Harrison Avenue Got it See if you can't find yourself a copy Because they have it in store Can you imagine you're driving and you hear that on this podcast? And you're on the street And you're on Harrison Avenue Pop in And in the book there's a code word bit And maybe there's a code word they could walk in and say

[00:04:43] And they'll just know inside bookish boutique Oh, that's interesting You think... What should we get? Should we give them a code word? Yeah, yeah, and then when they walk in And then they'll know, obviously They'll say, I heard this on Deck the Hallmark And behind the counter at Bookish Boutique They'll say, oh, of course They'll do the wink, the handshake The whole thing The book comes out Wow, man How about this review on Goodreads Let's hear it From Rebecca Oh, Goodreads Fantastic second novel by Brian and the DTH crew

[00:05:13] Sweet and well-paced romance With extra fun Easter eggs if you listen to DTH All true Brian said, oh, that's a good one Like he'd read that review no less than a dozen times No, I've... Just how it started I've read one that wasn't good And so I knew that wasn't gonna go that way There's a good one? There's one that's not good out there? There's one that's very critical And it bothers me every day Oh, wow It's fine Everybody... I mean, you put yourself out there What are you gonna do? You know?

[00:05:42] Yeah, that's part of the deal, man We all make mistakes The audibles are all five stars The only person that said they had anything Was like, Dan does a great job But I wanted to hear Tracy in all her glory Oh, man Who doesn't? That was a lose-lose for us Either I do it and you get people like that Or Bran does it and you get people who turn the book off And when you and I say Bran What do you mean? If Bran has a connection When Bran calls her Calls Trace That's right Yeah, yeah Cause I actually am the only one that has her number Yeah, no, of course

[00:06:08] I was hoping she wouldn't find out Could you believe that we wrote a book And you were featured so heavily And we didn't let you do the reading? What was it? What was that about? It might not be her Did you read the book, Trace? Oh, I read I read I listened I tried to What did you think? Did you think it was good? Were you offended? It's beautiful Yeah Anything else?

[00:06:38] All right, Trace I do say God bless at the end though Which is really cool Yeah, you got in there You are featured Yeah, yeah So is Rig for that matter Spoiler Rig does? Rig gets a little something A little more actually than Trace gets Is it this one, Bri? Is this the one that's bothering you? Yeah Who cares? I care Who cares? Brian, we got some details wrong about specific letters It's a full, full stop, who cares? Full stop, who cares?

[00:07:08] Like, oh my God It's called a Christmas con You don't know how much I wish When stuff like that gets to me That I could have that naturally in my bones Just give me a call, man Who cares? I'll add some more choice words to me But I'm moving, Pat I know I'm just gonna, you know, just keep moving Just keep moving Just keep moving That's what I heard about another movie coming up later this week Absolutely All right, let's talk merry memories, shall we? Mary, I had a That was a really fun Let's This last seven, eight minutes Has been a really good memory for me I'm gonna scrapbook this Great Put a Kringle in it You know how to do a scrapbook though? I don't know

[00:07:37] There are very distinct rules I have no idea how to do it Merry memories, November 6th, 2026 When it premiered on the Hallmark Channel It went a little something like this Michaela Hey Brian, how's it? He's leaning in Michaela is waiting in line for coffee Taking a gander at her to-do list And a hot fella I gotta be honest When I started this I was concerned, Dan

[00:08:07] That I was in the Snow Buddy But You synopsis Because the movie starts when you're in line Yeah And I was like, wait a second No Is that? It's Groundhog Day Okay, great Michaela's waiting in line for coffee Taking a gander at her to-do list And a hot fella named Brian Is behind her Yeah, Brian And they meet Because a kid throws a snowball at him And snow goes everywhere And snow goes everywhere Her to-do list Gets some whipped cream on it It's a disaster!

[00:08:34] She goes to pick up her nephew from school And finds out that Brian is his teacher Traveling substitute But teacher nonetheless Her nephew Danny Has a pretty serious Christmas scrapbooking project due And he's freaking out She offers to help him with the project But all Michaela knows is order This is how things She thought Guys She thought That for scrapbooks

[00:09:04] She's gonna do things in squares What? In squares? In squares? That was so stupid Crazy Um So She then asks Brian If Brian would be willing to help her Help Danny with scrapbook Because all she knows is order Scrapbooks aren't for order Will you help me? And obviously This leads to them doing All the Christmas activities Together Getting the Christmas tree Together Going Christmas roller skating Together

[00:09:33] Etc, etc The sparks Are flying But here's the thing As mentioned He is a traveling Substitute Teacher Which implies He's going to travel He's not here He didn't live here He's here for a good time He's here That's exactly right Through hanging out with Brian Michaela learns that organization Isn't everything And so she hands off

[00:10:02] Some of the office Christmas party planning To a couple of coworkers And guess what? They freaking screw it up Ugh She learned a lesson Of course they did She tried to implement that lesson Backfired in her face big time And this is why you don't go with the flow This is why you don't hand This is why you don't delegate Uh After they take Danny to see Santa They're officially They've officially checked everything off So I guess they're gonna stop hanging out now Wrong! She figured out

[00:10:31] Where to hold the Christmas party And he just He's there He's at the Christmas party And it's great And he tells her That the party was amazing And then she's like Hey I hope I hope that you stay For Danny I hope that you stay here Because Danny would be really sad if you left Not her Danny Naturally Danny invites Brian to Christmas dinner Sometimes you gotta Her

[00:11:01] Mikayla's brother encourages Mikayla to go tell Brian That she wants him to stay Don't use a child as an excuse Just tell him how you feel Maybe that'll do something So she goes to see him at the school But overhears him talking on the phone About his next Traveling substitute teacher gig in Idaho Or something like that He's leaving He's leaving He's leaving What's even the point? So she scampers out Of the room

[00:11:29] Before he can get a good look at her But I think he knows Right? It's time for scrapbook presentation It was a presentation? My goodness Unbelievers This project keeps getting worse Danny's troop mom comes home She was By the way his mom was gone Because she's in the military And then Happy Happy Veterans Day tomorrow Everybody Thank you for your service Salute And then Mikaela tells Brian That he's What she wants for Christmas And they kiss

[00:11:58] And he's gonna stay Everybody And Not just stay forever But also come to her house for Christmas And they're gonna spend Christmas together And that my friends was Merry memories We Did it You know what I'm looking forward to? What's gonna be a good Merry memory for me? Dive into that Kringle during this commercial break That's right Take the Hallmark Who now? Yeah Who who?

[00:12:28] Hey Gabriel Welcome back Got some Kringle I've got some friends And I've got a Hallmark Christmas movie to talk about Merry memories Our first of three Christmas movies From this past weekend on the Hallmark channel Let's share our thoughts on this movie We're gonna start with a hot take So we're gonna share exactly how you felt about the movie Do not hold back And I will start with you Brian Guy What'd you think about Merry memory? Is it a Merry memory? Ooh That was pretty good We got ourselves a good old fashioned bad movie here Yeah we do Thank you Finally

[00:12:56] Just a straight up bad movie Just down the middle Whole one Just a fastball Just a fastball down the middle Right down the middle Stinker alerts Just an absolute meatball Unbelievable Completely unhinged from reality And it was a blast It was very fun They don't make them like this anymore And they really They used to make dozens of these Yeah This is an anomaly Lindora's charming So charming So charming

[00:13:26] And she was so like Fond to have on the screen And to watch this whole movie And she carried it She did a great job It was It was so festive and fun And so bad And so many weight watts It's incredible It's unbelievable I really did like that co-worker dynamic I wish there were more of that I thought that was fun They were kind of funny And we could have done more there But other than that Just straight up Bad movie Had a blast watching this Bad movie heat I don't know No pretense

[00:13:56] No Yeah I liked it Get out of here Get out of here I really like this movie This is a low stakes I was given a hard time last week For not validating your feelings And so I need to tell you This is a good time for you to Your feelings are not valid Oh Megan I appreciate that I like it This is low stakes High reward for brand Stakes Floor Stakes are the floor Below They're the basement This

[00:14:26] Second grader Has to do Has to do scrapbook And that Are the stakes Of this movie That are Worst Worst case scenario He doesn't Bad scrapbook Still past second grade Still be fine Probably still good at math And he's learning his reading And that's really all that matters When you're that age And I had an absolute ball With this movie I thought that

[00:14:55] Lindor was fantastic I like these two leads together Kid of the year Over here with Danny What's not to enjoy So much About this movie And we do all the Christmas things Christmas tree farm We go rollerblading baby Ice skating So yesterday We're doing rollerblading now I really enjoyed this movie I had a lot of fun It's not my favorite of the year But it's also not my least favorite of the year I really enjoyed it Dano? You know there comes a point in every great bad movie

[00:15:24] Usually ten to twelve minutes in Where you realize This isn't the stuff that happens before the plot This is the plot And that's where I found myself Twelve minutes into this movie When I realized We weren't establishing characters They just dove in On the heavy hitting topic of Danny needs to scrapbook And for the life of me I can't believe they rung a whole movie out of this thing And a Troop Homecoming This movie is bad movie bingo

[00:15:52] Like soap snow everywhere Troop Homecoming where nobody knew Nobody knew she was showing up You got it dude A second grader doing a meaningless Non-literacy based Non-math based project That has way too much weight And if it matters at all Absolutely Not a cold Snowy feel in sight Not a Christmas feel in sight It looked 90 plus degrees outside

[00:16:23] This is why we do it right here This is why we get paid the big bucks This is an all time conquer And it's last on my list for the year You betcha And that is all All that being said I adore Lindora And somebody needs to give her another shot Absolutely Alright let's get to A little something that I'm gonna propose We call all the feels You're gonna propose we call it that? Yep Do we need to take seconds on the vote? Yep Proposition? I vote we call it that Sure I'll go along You don't want to

[00:16:53] Two verses what do you wanna call it? It's rolling in the kringle Rolling in the feels Rolling in the Rolling in the Rolling in the feels See that's not bad Let's get to the feels That we're gonna roll And let's roll on over to Brian Brian anything in this movie We gave you feels? I was reminded at one point I forget what even kicked it off here But I was reminded of the glitter bomb cards I used to get from an uncle in the mail Every holiday season And I would It was a card And he would just pour

[00:17:22] As much glitter as he could in there That you know a stamp would take care of Oh man And I would see that coming In the mail And I would immediately Put the envelope into a plastic bag And I would open it You still would open it? Yeah in the bag And I would zip tie the bag And then I would leave it propped up In the bag Open that way Because the glitter is a disaster It reminded me that I gotta send one of those to my cousin Ryan this year Yeah Ryan you got one coming bud I hope he doesn't Coming your way right guy So be on the lookout for that Right guy

[00:17:51] Brian and Ryan Harold Or is it a different last name? No a different last name Okay Right guy and bright guy That's right What a crew Four letters U-S-A-A Oh my god Shout outs It wasn't a product placement It was a full commercial Full commercial Yeah yeah yeah And I loved it This was a You could've cut the video And played it as a commercial With the thing at the end And everybody would've been like What they do for our communities And our troops That have Insurance Insurance Among other things Yeah Yeah

[00:18:20] That's the commercial though I was trying to do a real thing Great that was really good Also six words Four letters Six words Chocolate Marshmallow Christmas tree With sprinkles Is that hyphenated? Chocolate Marshmallow Christmas tree With sprinkles Is six? Yeah you got it right I got it right Yeah you did I'm learning Chocolate Marshmallow Christmas tree With sprinkles Chocolate Marshmallow Christmas tree With sprinkles Chocolate Marshmallow Christmas tree With sprinkles Is it better than a kringle? No

[00:18:50] No But I would still I saw them eating it And they told me about it Via those words Via those six words The aforementioned Six words That's all you need It tells you everything you know Yes of course And I appreciate that Dan? No No no for me Okay Alright let's take a break We'll come back We'll get to the way what the what the hallmark Check the hallmark We're back Not yet We just left

[00:19:20] No Oh we switched How did we mess those up? We switched them Did she? We just left And that's what you guys get for that putting in the book She did it on purpose You're in the book I messed up your little jangle And you are in the book I messed up your little jangles Jingles? I messed up your little jangles Jangles? She can't be trusted This is why Haha Yeah Flipped we're back What did he say? What did that guy say? We just left Yeah we just I'm a little dream monster What? I'm a little dream monster You're a little tree Short end stop

[00:19:50] Gremlin? Lightmare? I'm a little teapot I'm a little tree monster I don't think that works Dream monster Wait what's we talking about What are those things going on? I'll start with you You're a little tree monster? No dream monster Okay Dream monster Oh boy Haunting you God I may have to quit Good luck I'll follow you I'm in your dreams Brian what you got? Yep I also like to remove my yogurt from its container

[00:20:19] Put it into a plastic separate container And write yogurt on it And put it in the fridge Yeah yeah for sure man That's how we all go about eating yogurt That's how you deal with yogurt containers That's how you deal with yogurt Do you really? No No god no what are you talking about? Dude You think I did? Brian's never had yogurt a day in his life No I have no interest in touching that He calls that sour ice cream Foreign substance The wrong stuff Whatever that is I mean I will say of the three of us

[00:20:46] You seem like the most likely to transport your yogurt into a different container Why would you do? If it's taking too much room I guess I would consider it But no Yogurt's pretty The container is pretty good that it comes in Yeah That's not one that Good for stacking Yeah It's good for stacking Some egregious drink handling moments in this movie Oh my god The I'll say too And you can I know there's a whipped cream situation No it's fine Yeah I will take that one for sure That's more than just drink She handed her brother a mug of hot tea

[00:21:15] She held the handle And he just reached out both hands And just grabbed that thing That's right Yeah he did Just scolding hot That's right That's right Did you say scolding hot? Scolding hot Scolding? Yeah the tea's not scolding you What's scolding then? Oh it's like scolding Okay a different word Yeah I don't think the tea's like You better not drink me I'm too hot We can cut that right Well you know what if maybe the tea was scolding We wouldn't run into the issue with it burning Are you even a licensed therapist? 100% Okay this is the biggest mistake I'm telling you about this And another one was Give me that cringle

[00:21:44] I'm gonna rip off the cringle The teacher was just flailing his hot cocoa cup around Yeah he was He was just It was like they were like Alright do a funny take And they're like we gotta use that So we ran out of tape It was so bad The She starts her notes on the left side of her The page of her notebook She looks up how to scrapbook And she opens up her notebook And she goes to the left side And I think she was right handed I guess it would make sense If you're a lefty

[00:22:14] Sure left side I think she's writing over the spiral Yeah I don't understand that I didn't catch that one but you're right Oh boy this one is I have two left here This is probably my favorite of all time She said the other ice rink in town Is reserved for hockey This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard A rink shutting down their public skate for hockey No This weekend My son's practice at 8am was canceled Because they mixed it up Like it's so unimportant to a hockey rink To an ice rink They want people skating out there Yeah

[00:22:44] 24 hours a day And they're making money The hockey is such an inconvenience And it's so funny that she said They were prioritizing hockey This is the best too When Brian Taylor Substitute teacher His phone rings at 7 or 8 at night I thought it might be the principal calling to say Hey why are you hanging out with this student and his aunt Why are you stealing supplies Yes a lot of times Why are you hanging out in the classroom on a Saturday But no It was his long term contract out of state phone call That's right yeah

[00:23:13] You get it Yeah on December 20 whatever 3rd Yeah yeah Right before Christmas break 8 at night Yeah and he's got a report January 3rd This is worse than it's Christmas Eve When she gets the Christmas Eve We have another interim vice principal job for you to take That was hysterical This is worse Dude a long term contract out of state Forget regulation certification You're good No Come on in This is the crux of this whole movie Yeah

[00:23:41] This organization does exist We were so baffled We don't know the logistics They do exist The problem is is that Any state with a teachers union Is not hiring an out of state substitute teacher Yeah But the idea that this guy is going to travel around And do substitute teaching jobs In all these different states And make $52,000 a year is hysterical The subpay in Greenville County Which is a higher county in South Carolina It's like $130 a day

[00:24:11] Like But also you're not going to make money either way And most states are not hiring out of state Yeah And it's not that he's that wanted I mean like I don't know It was crazy Yeah it was a wild thing that that was Yeah that that was the job And that Oh man And not a word about 8 o'clock at night Yeah Getting his call It's ridiculous Yeah I'll stop there Yeah How bad's that kid at throwing a snowball at the beginning of this movie So bad The kid is from me to Dan And he whiffs it And he just whiffs it Just whiffs it And he gets another chance

[00:24:41] Crazy No That's wild At one point she goes single glove Which is just I just wanted to point out She goes single glove She goes single glove Yeah One glove on Like an MJ Yeah Crazy I know people do that out and about But she goes single glove So shout out Shut up Um when they go to the roller rink She goes against the flow And I just think You can't do that You can't do it We're all in agreement That this

[00:25:10] This world Is gonna keep spinning this way As long as bozos Like you Don't go that way That's right Because that will mess up the flow of everything And you know we're nine seasons in And still blown away at the Christmas tree In the middle of the rink Still Still gets us And there's the electricity And then there's crazy lights Speakers lights Yeah They get the plug in the middle Shake it Shake it all up Um I don't know It didn't

[00:25:39] I just I didn't like at the party When Santa had the woman blow on his snowball Before he threw it I didn't like it It made me feel weird I think there's just some things That Santa shouldn't do

[00:26:21] And one of them Are they ready to spray the foam in their mouth Yeah We gotta talk about the whipped cream Oh my god Frank has whipped cream And he lets these people come in there It's crazy Go crazy with the whipped cream Someone Someone takes a little bit of the whipped cream Right? That motion Frank goes Taking shots of whipped cream is what gets me through the day Is Frank Frank Is Frank Is Frank Going In your head right now?

[00:26:50] Is Frank baby burning whipped cream into his mouth And using that same container on other people's bevies? I'm afraid so Frank Brother You can't do that also Get out dude I need little whipped cream shots to get me through the day? Frank My god I hope he has a container just for that Because if he's using I know he's not putting it in his mouth But I don't want the whipped cream nozzle anywhere near your mouth Frank It's disgusting I don't want it

[00:27:19] I also say I shouldn't be blowing on people's snowballs That's what I'm saying Dan? Yeah this movie takes place at a school where It must be in hell somewhere Where they have students At a full day of school on December 23rd Absolutely fundamentally crazy Those kids would be off the walls And this movie also vastly overestimates How often parents are actually in the school building Where their kids go to school Because in this movie it's every day They do pick up in the classroom

[00:27:49] Guys it's 2026 I don't know if you've heard about some security measures We've been taking as a country for the last 25 years or so But people don't just walk in and pick up their kids from the classroom If I want to pick up my child early I have to go through two locked doors Present an ID And then wait in a holding room for my kid to come up And then they open the glass from the other side What is going on? I picked up the coffee from the coffee shop

[00:28:17] Of the cart in between the business park and the school Before I strolled into the classroom Completely just nobody brought Like all the parents are just there Yeah They're just walking in and out Gosh, is this 1980? That's crazy guys They get coffee numerous times One time he gets his hot cocoa And there's a giant amount of whipped cream on top Which is awesome But then in the next scene There's no whipped cream on it And then in the next scene It's back full again

[00:28:47] No, no You can't You gotta look at it You gotta find it It's an edit You gotta find it And you gotta cut it out That's your job You can't have that happen Keep the mirage alive You know what I mean? Um I Like Sorry He asks She asks him He's a traveling substitute She asks him You don't ever wonder about the kids you taught

[00:29:16] Like after you leave Like and go to another location You never wonder about it And he said I've never thought about it until now What guy? Guys focus on your job Are you a psychopath? Once I leave him Let's flush him from my memory That's not the weirdest thing he says though He looks dead in Lindor's face and says If I lived here I'd be rocking If I lived here I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend Oh talking about the rollers getting great

[00:29:44] He says it just like that though If I lived here I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend Good God man Get a life I can't blame him though You see that place? Some sorts We joke but if we lived there we would be rocking and rolling every weekend That's a fact If I lived here I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend That's what I'd be doing And you said this but it does bear repeating Guys teachers give second graders assignments because they're required to

[00:30:12] The only thing that second grade teacher cares about is Did my kid enjoy learning as they became more literate and more competent at math? That is I look I'm a history teacher history is very important we should teach history every year The only that second grade teacher is 100% judged by did you make a fun learning enriching environment where kids got better at literacy and math

[00:30:36] This scrapbook there are some kids in his class that didn't turn it in and you know what they did next year went to third grade They went to third grade I don't know if you know the state of education if you think everybody just rolls in with their hot cocoa straight into the classroom to pick up their kids But how it works nowadays is you gotta wait and you don't go in the classroom and you that scrapbooking project is like for the parents that are around to help their kids do it

[00:31:05] It just isn't that big a deal Sheesh Is that it? That's it That's okay You're really you're worked up and I understand That's right It's earned Let's get to what the hallmarks were we wonder what could have been maybe have given the clarity question What are we still wondering about? Brian Yep Is Brian Taylor a hit man? Yeah Is he just actually a hit man? Could be Could be Pretty convenient The cover Pretty convenient cover Pretty He gets a sketchy phone call

[00:31:34] You know he's Interesting He doesn't have really good answers He says things like I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend But we do see his If I lived here which he does live there I want to be very clear He could He's passed it a million times He could do it He does live there Small talk If I lived here I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend He doesn't want to get attached because he knows he's leaving so If I lived here He's got another contract I'd be rocking and rolling every weekend You better be there next weekend sir because you're staying Big talker That's true The weekend between Christmas and New Year Buy some roller skates

[00:32:03] You better be roll bouncing all over there He's going to show up and find out they're closed Throw a fit I'm leaving an hour for all That was the only reason I stayed Yeah You thought I stayed for you I want to talk about the Christmas tree farm system here in this movie So this is what happens You get onto a like a Hay Riot type of thing Right? Yep We will take you out to the trees Okay? And we will give you a tag Yep Okay? Whatever Like find your tree Tag it

[00:32:32] And then we'll bring you back And then the tree And then the tree I got Do they have somebody I just haven't seen the system Following them around Yeah do they have Like why not The tag to me is dangerous Like what if they missed the tag? Like what if they don't see it? I told you I We used to go to Farm for It Close Where we would do the most of that Like they would drive us out there The difference is there were people out there Yeah you say hey this is the one I want And then they would tag it And immediately get to work on If you tag it

[00:33:01] Who knows how long you're waiting for I know that's my thing Yeah Is there someone walking the aisles How long has this one been tagged for? Right? Yeah It just seemed like there It was missing a key component Of letting a worker know Hey I'm getting this one We'll meet you back at the front Yeah Right? Yeah No they're missing a step there Alright yeah I'm glad I'm not going crazy Dan? So in this movie at the end Our traveling substitute decides to stay

[00:33:30] And in most movies that makes sense I hope you stay Most movies that make sense Because there's work to do In this particular case His role as substitute teacher Like he can't just stay and teach that class That class belongs to a different teacher What does it mean? He's not going to be Danny's teacher What does it mean when he says he's staying What does that mean?
