Mistletoe Murders: Poison in a Pear Tree (Hallmark+ - 2024) ft. Alonso Duralde

[00:00:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Hi, I'm Bran and I love Hallmark Christmas television shows.

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas stories.

[00:00:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, that's better. Dang it.

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm Alonso and Steve Lund, and this is Deck The Hallmark Podcast.

[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast.

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And friends host his podcast.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: We hope you like this jolly podcast.

[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_01]: The Hallmark Christmas

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_03]: Yep, yep, yep. Hi everybody.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm just trying to keep the Christ in Christmas trees.

[00:00:41] [SPEAKER_03]: That's all I'm doing.

[00:00:42] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:00:45] [SPEAKER_02]: No mystery here, pal.

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_03]: The tomb is empty.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_03]: The tomb is empty.

[00:00:51] [SPEAKER_03]: You know that one.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_03]: You know our Redeemer lives.

[00:00:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I know.

[00:00:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Nicole C. Mullen, oh my god.

[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Dan and I, for 10 years now,

[00:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: have been working on a bluegrass version of Nicole C. Mullen's My Redeemer Lives.

[00:01:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's gonna come out one of these days.

[00:01:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna come out and it's gonna slap.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: It's gonna slap.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_02]: People are gonna be like, oh my gosh, this is amazing.

[00:01:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Not gonna know what to do.

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_02]: We're waiting.

[00:01:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the key is to get Nicole in on it.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, yeah.

[00:01:14] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy.

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: If you just keep long enough, you keep telling people about it.

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_03]: I think then that'll help.

[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_03]: It's gonna happen.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_03]: For sure.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Alonzo, it's great to be back with you on a Monday.

[00:01:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Another year is here.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Another Monday, a weekly check-in with Alonzo.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Alonzo, how are you?

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm good.

[00:01:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Happy New Year, everybody.

[00:01:33] [SPEAKER_04]: It's great to be back.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Happy New Year to you.

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, we're doing a little bit something different.

[00:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: A little bit something different.

[00:01:39] [SPEAKER_02]: A little bit something different to start out the year.

[00:01:41] [SPEAKER_02]: There were some things, some big to-dos.

[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_04]: A little bit something different.

[00:01:46] [SPEAKER_04]: A little more action, baby.

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Sure.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

[00:01:49] [SPEAKER_02]: All this aggravation, the mistletoe murders.

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: And so we said, well, we gotta get to these things.

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: We gotta get to the mistletoe murders.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: We gotta get to the holidays.

[00:01:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I think the problem was, Brian, is I was watching Unwrapping Christmas, Sylvia's

[00:02:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Dilemma or whatever they're called.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_03]: And I kept, we were watching some crappy Unwrapping and Cherry Lane movies.

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And all the while I'm hearing, like in the office and out of the office, like Aaron Shay

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_03]: would come in and be like, mistletoe murders is the best thing.

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Or how, like we would hear on the, so like.

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The amount of people that I saw say that mistletoe murders is the best day homework's

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_02]: ever done is approaching double digit fingers.

[00:02:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Double digit or double digit anything?

[00:02:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Really?

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Just fingers.

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_03]: But also holidays.

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: Like both of these, we watched Unwrapping and Cherry Lane and we chose unwisely.

[00:02:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Which, well, it is the best thing that they did at that time in that moment in which they

[00:02:52] [SPEAKER_02]: shot those movies.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Great.

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: On that particular set.

[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Almost double digit fingers.

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all about perspective.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, Aaron.

[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to offer this to help you feel a little bit better.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_00]: Isn't it better that you got Unwrapping and Cherry Lane out of the way and you can look

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_00]: forward to mistletoe murders?

[00:03:09] [SPEAKER_00]: Like, can you imagine watching this or murders?

[00:03:11] [SPEAKER_00]: And now here in January, we're watching unwrapping.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I guess there's something to say.

[00:03:16] [SPEAKER_03]: But that's the same for them outside of the homework season.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_03]: But also, it's just piling on.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_03]: When you're watching, you know, I get it.

[00:03:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Sylvia's dilemma is important.

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_03]: But when you're already watching 40 of these bad boys and then you're getting chucked worse

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_03]: movies, it just feels like piling on.

[00:03:31] [SPEAKER_03]: But you're right here.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You guys know this about me.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_02]: January is a tough time.

[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: There's no, you know, we get to the, we'll talk Irish tomorrow, but it's not a Christmas

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_02]: movie and I have watched some real stinkers on Mondays with Alonzo that I've been like,

[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_02]: well, it's a unicorn for Christmas.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a unicorn for Christmas.

[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So maybe if we had watched Delilah's good times, we would have.

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_03]: That was Sylvia's dilemma.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Should she be a part of Delilah's good time?

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't know.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't know.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That's part of the dilemma.

[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Maybe I would have viewed it through a different lens.

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: For a million dollars, can you tell me the four women from unwrapping Christmas?

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, man.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Tina.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah?

[00:04:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Tina.

[00:04:19] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a Mia.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Mia.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_03]: You can, I didn't know.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Olivia.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Olivia.

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_04]: And Marjorie.

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03]: Clementine.

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_03]: Marjorie and Clementine did not make the cut.

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Is that, is it Leia?

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Is it Leia?

[00:04:34] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's Leia's perfect gift.

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: No, no.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Dang it.

[00:04:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Should have been an unwrapping.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_01]: All right.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, let's get to this.

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_04]: And let's not even get into the whole finding Mr. Christmas thing, which you're welcome

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_04]: again.

[00:04:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, Lily.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Lily.

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Lily.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_03]: In a weird way, Sylvia's dilemma is a combination of all their names.

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_03]: So I just want to be clear.

[00:04:53] [SPEAKER_02]: If you think about it.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, that's right.

[00:04:55] [SPEAKER_02]: If you think about it.

[00:04:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Stacy's mom.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_04]: That's the unwrapping Christmas.

[00:05:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Unwrapping Christmas.

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Unwrapping.

[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, let's get to mistletoe murder, shall we?

[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Now here's what we're going to do.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_02]: These are, it's a six part mini series, but they go two episodes at a time with the general

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_02]: mystery.

[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And so we are going to do the same thing.

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_02]: We are going to be handling both parts one and two of poison in a pear tree.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Is it, is it poison in a pear tree part one and part two?

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_03]: That's exactly right.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, and so those, uh, uh, which means this Christmas, they will pop up on hallmark mystery

[00:05:33] [SPEAKER_04]: just under the title mistletoe murderers, colon poison in a pear tree.

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_03]: It's somebody's in a hallmark boardroom somewhere going, hear me out.

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Mystery, but two parter, two episodes.

[00:05:45] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll talk, we'll talk about it.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll talk about whether it works.

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I guess it's a wheel.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a mini wheel.

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a mini wheel.

[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a training wheel.

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's right.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And everyone knows you need three wheels to make a tricycle.

[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: So this is a tricycle.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the mistletoe murders tricycle.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Double digit wheels.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a hot wheel.

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:06:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, poison in a pear tree parts one and two originally aired on a hallmark channel on October 31st and November 7th,

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: 2024 and a little little something apart.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_02]: And a little something like this.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, the episode kicks off with Emily Lane, wake it up from a nightmare.

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_02]: She runs a year round Christmas shop under the mistletoe in the small town of Fletcher's Grove.

[00:06:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the type of name that they would create for a true crime podcast.

[00:06:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, she brings her cat to see her friend, the local vet June and learns that her ex-husband Marcus proposed to June.

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Again, they're getting the double nuptials.

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Double nups.

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Double nups.

[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, is that different than, uh, even Christmas evis?

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_02]: What did, uh, double evis.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Double evis.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Double evis.

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Sorry.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so, uh, it's the part deuce, if you will, of the marriage June and Marcus go on a romantic carriage ride, but Marcus is acting a little bit strange and says that he's just working on a surprise.

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Later, we see him meeting with a man named Gordon who runs the establishment, telling him that, uh, he's done what he can for him and to just be patient.

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Gordon does not seem pleased with being patient.

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The next day, uh, the police show up to under the mistletoe.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a detective.

[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, he informs Emily that a man named Marcus is dead and that a cookie wrapper.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Steve Lund.

[00:07:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Steve Lund.

[00:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And that a cookie wrapper from the store was found at the crime scene.

[00:07:48] [SPEAKER_02]: He insists on taking all of those treats from the shop purely for police business, I'm sure.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, because you got to see him maybe poison all of them.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Candy business.

[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, June shows up and fills Emily in on all the hubbub here.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Marcus was found dead.

[00:08:04] [SPEAKER_02]: She suspects his ex-girlfriend, Lizzie Klein, who he was seeing until shortly before they got back together and, uh, might have been on the wagon ride that night.

[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: All right, Lizzie.

[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Wagon wheel.

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Emily immediately gets to work because she likes to metal, uh, and, uh, tracking down Lizzie at her job asking hard hitting questions like wagons.

[00:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You like them?

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, speaking of wagons, Emily visits the owner of the wagon ride establishment, Gordon.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Something seems to be bothering him and Emily suspects that it is a hangover.

[00:08:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Later, Emily heads into the woods, into the woods to see the things and do the stuff and scarves, um, and finds these things, scarves, these ribbons on the trees.

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Almost, uh, almost like they're, they're meant to be something.

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Apparently people would go and they'd find the trees and they'd put a ribbon around it.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_02]: But this one's weird.

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, cause it's, you know, it's a, it's a big boy.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Big boy.

[00:09:11] [SPEAKER_02]: That's a full, full timber.

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_04]: A yellow ribbon around the old old tree.

[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my God, you guys.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_02]: We're having, we're having fun, aren't we?

[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: What's new pussycat?

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:09:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, sneaky as ever, Emily goes into the, uh, the place that the, uh, you know, like a lodge, if you will, and finds a list of everybody who was on the wagon that night.

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: There's one person that she can't track down.

[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a man named Joey.

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_02]: While Emily and June are at dinner, uh, are at the diner.

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not at dinner.

[00:09:43] [SPEAKER_02]: They're just at the diner.

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know what they're eating.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a one in versus two in situation.

[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Exactly right.

[00:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: It gets away from you.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_02]: It does.

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, June gets, uh, arrested.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Emily confronts Detective Sam, who refuses.

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure is an arsteed.

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Who, uh, you be kind.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Who, uh, refuses to confirm or deny whether they found the poison that killed Marcus in June's house, but he has a terrible, uh, poker face and, uh, definitely they did find it.

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Emily discovers that Marcus denied Gordon a bank loan, leaving Gordon's business in some serious jeopardy.

[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_02]: When Emily breaks into Marcus's home, she finds a USB drive and a bookmark tucked into a photo album or whatever, like some book.

[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_02]: And it is a, uh, what do they, what do they call those with the, uh, sonogram.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, sing that song again for us, Alonzo.

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_03]: I know, I know, tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree.

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I know that song.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you, Daniel.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You guys go party in the woods somewhere.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Just sing it.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, into the woods.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, in the woods.

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: When she confronts Gordon, um, about some stuff, she spots some suspicious men leaving his house.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Gordon reveals that Marcus asked, uh, for some, uh, more time to work on some stuff before Emily can leave.

[00:11:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Gordon collapses.

[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_02]: While waiting for the police.

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily has a flashback to a high stakes moment from her past where building explode behind her in slow motion.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_02]: The budgets on this program.

[00:11:18] [SPEAKER_02]: It is clear that she moved to Fletcher Grove to lay low.

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Detective Sam arrives, uh, suspicious when he finds out that Emily called in the Gordon collapse.

[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_02]: As we're calling it the Gordon collapse.

[00:11:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, she insists that she's just, uh, trying to help a friend.

[00:11:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Sam reluctantly asks her to keep him in the loop because well, it's Hallmark and amateur sleuths and cops have to work together.

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_02]: It's practically the law.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily teams up with a local informant named Ray, who just kind of knows all the town gossip.

[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And he reveals that Gordon recently had his gambling debt paid off though.

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_02]: It's unclear by whom.

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Emily has, Emily has, uh, is growing suspicious of Marcus's co-worker at the bank, Rowan.

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_02]: When she confronts him, he has an explanation for just about everything.

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But under pressure, she convinces him to share Marcus's recent bank statements, which reveal $40,000 have been withdrawn from his account just before death.

[00:12:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Which is very similar to the amount of money that our boy Gordon owed for his gambling debts.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily forms a theory.

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Marcus paid off Gordon's debt as a down payment for the farm.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But Gordon had second thoughts, uh, because his daughter believed that the farm belonged to her.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily pitches this idea to Gordon's daughter, Anna.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, it doesn't go over well.

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, doesn't, I don't know why it would.

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: But, uh, one night, uh, Emily confronts Lizzie.

[00:12:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Lizzie Klein from earlier.

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Who admits that she didn't mean for Marcus to get hurt.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: She just comes out and says it.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Lizzie reveals that she's pregnant with Marcus's baby.

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: She wanted to tell her boyfriend, but couldn't.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_02]: When she told Marcus, someone must have overheard because they did it in public as you do with these type of things.

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Lizzie then received a text message demanding $40,000.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Marcus got the money and met her in the woods.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: There was a place, a ribbon around, a yellow ribbon around the woods.

[00:13:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Tied around the old oak tree.

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and, uh, met her there and then they, uh, shared a cookie.

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily realizes that the cookie couldn't have been poisoned because they both ate the cookie.

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And goes to the police to secure June's release.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily.

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And they're releasing all those cookies.

[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's exactly right.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Give them back to me, please.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_02]: They're not poisoned.

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Um, Emily figures out.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_02]: She did all that for the, for the cookie.

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Emily figures out that Gordon wasn't the blackmailer.

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_02]: He doesn't even know how to text.

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But Anna does.

[00:14:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Anna confesses to the blackmail, but denies being involved in any sort of murder.

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Emily discovers that, uh, that Rowan, the weird, the guy who also worked at the farm.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, he's up and he's up in the barn.

[00:14:18] [SPEAKER_02]: He's up in the top floor.

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Someone's up in the top floor of the barn.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and he, I guess he was living there and in his bag, she finds the poison that killed Marcus.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Rowan, uh, knocks Emily out.

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And when she wakes up, both she and Anna are tied up.

[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Rowan admits that he wanted to kill Gordon to stop the sale of the farm.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause you know, he liked it there.

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, and you know, this is my top of the barn.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm on top of the barn.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_02]: He's sick up here.

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: He poised, he poisoned Marcus's flask, which Marcus drank from before confronting the blackmailer.

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Needed a little extra liquid courage, if you will.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Rowan plans to poison Emily and Anna and thinking that that would frame Anna for everything.

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Cause Anna has a reason to kill everybody.

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Emily's like, Hey, uh, I've been recording all this on my phone.

[00:15:12] [SPEAKER_02]: You gotta go find it.

[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: She wasn't though.

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Liar.

[00:15:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, while he searches for the phone though, Emily and Anna spook a horse, uh, to knock him out.

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Like right when the horse, right when he's by the horse, they're like, Hey, boo.

[00:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, they escape, they call the police and Rowan is arrested.

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Detective Sam tells Emily that they'll discuss everything soon,

[00:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: but he is relieved that she is safe.

[00:15:36] [SPEAKER_02]: In the end, Gordon survives.

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yay.

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Emily tells, uh, Trent is the coworker that he used to work with.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Trent about the baby and that's good.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And Sam and his daughter sing Christmas karaoke.

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Everything seems fine until the final scene when Emily opens a black box from her old life

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and smirks hinting of secrets left to come.

[00:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: And that my friends was mistletoe murders, poison in a pear tree.

[00:16:06] [SPEAKER_03]: We did it.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's do this.

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Quite a synopsis.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: A lot to get to.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: A lot to get to.

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: A lot to get to.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's do this.

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll come back.

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll break this, uh, these episodes down.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So you see this mystery movie down here on deck.

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_02]: The hallmark.

[00:16:24] Everybody.

[00:16:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back to deck.

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_02]: The hallmark.

[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Monday.

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_02]: It's brand Stan.

[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Alonzo.

[00:16:38] [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking about the 2024 release, uh,

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_02]: on the hallmark plus, which is now available, uh, on your fly, uh, fall fly low.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_02]: On your file.

[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, fly low.

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_02]: On your file platform.

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You can add it directly to your filo.

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_02]: So you don't have to do it.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_02]: It's so great.

[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_03]: We were watching over the break and we were watching these to get ready for this and go

[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_03]: to file and just having it all right.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_03]: There has been fantastic.

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: So you got it.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I have to deal with the hallmark plus app.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_03]: Also a bonus.

[00:17:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Also a bonus.

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Also a bonus.

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, let's talk about mistletoe murders, poison in a pear tree parts one and two.

[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start our hot takes.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Think of your introduction to the mistletoe murders.

[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, uh, you know, I already watched all of these before I knew we were going to recap

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_04]: them.

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04]: So I do, I have the benefit.

[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Oh no.

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_04]: A little, have you seen a little more of this and y'all?

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, but no, I, as somebody who is not drawn to the mysteries, generally speaking, I do watch,

[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_04]: I've, I, I like me some Hannah Swenson just cause why not?

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_04]: It's the Christmas murder bakery.

[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_04]: I like that.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_04]: We're now, we have a dedicated Christmas murder series.

[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_04]: I think that's a good thing.

[00:17:50] [SPEAKER_04]: And you know, it's, I would say this is about like an average hallmark Christmas movie that

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_04]: is also a murder mystery.

[00:17:58] [SPEAKER_04]: And I, I don't, I don't see enough of the hallmark mysteries to judge it on that account,

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_04]: but you know, I do, did I fall for some red herrings?

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yes.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, am I intrigued about the secrets of this lady's past and what she's about and where she

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_04]: comes from and why she's such a good Snoop?

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Sure.

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so you know, I'm, I'm engaged enough to want to keep watching and find out where

[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_04]: this is all going to go.

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I, uh, I agree.

[00:18:25] [SPEAKER_02]: I was aware of the little podcast series that this came from, uh, from a couple of years

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: ago.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And I never gave it a listen cause I just say, you know, between everything else.

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm happy that it got made into a show, um, that we're covering here on this year program.

[00:18:43] [SPEAKER_02]: And, uh, early, early thoughts are I did quite enjoy it.

[00:18:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it's always tough, Dan.

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Typically we don't get to hear the buzz.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:18:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Around.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We usually watch it before the buzz.

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I try to ignore the buzz the best that I can.

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I, I don't know.

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if I, uh, like I, I like the, the, the Christmas stuff, like the scenery,

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_02]: but kind of want more Christmas, um, to this.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_02]: If I, if I might say, I kind of want a little bit more.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: It's called Missaltoe Murders.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I know.

[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I kind of want a little bit more, um, uh, of, of that.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll just say this, the, uh, uh, uh, Sarah drew, Sarah drew.

[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Sarah drew.

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Wonderful.

[00:19:25] [SPEAKER_02]: And you, you get me right away with some narration.

[00:19:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I love it.

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought it was a really fun way to kind of, uh, tip the cap to the fact that this came

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_02]: from a podcast, uh, series, um, because that's exactly, I imagine how this would be told in

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_02]: podcast form.

[00:19:45] [SPEAKER_02]: And so I thought that that was a nice little, Hey, here's one, one way that we can do that.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I thought she was wonderful.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and I thought the detective Sam fellow was also wonderful.

[00:19:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but overall I, I'm, I'm, I think the verdict is still out for me.

[00:19:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm, I'm intrigued to see what else is to come.

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but I'm not blown away.

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not blown away yet, but I, I, uh, early Sarah drew is the highlight here.

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_02]: She's, she's a star Dan.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_03]: I would say I'm mad, but cautiously optimistic.

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, the mystery, if, if this is one movie, I don't care what it's labeled as on IMDB.

[00:20:24] [SPEAKER_03]: And I also don't care how it was released and how they created a cliffhanger.

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_03]: This is an 84 minute mystery movie that usually airs on Hallmark mystery.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what this is.

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_03]: I don't like, we can dispense with the rest of this.

[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_03]: This is a mystery.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_03]: And as mysteries go, B minus C plus, I mean, fine, like a fine mystery.

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you killed Steve Lund?

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_03]: Good for you.

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_03]: The mystery still has some of the problems that a lot of Hallmark mysteries have, which

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_03]: is you have 84 minutes.

[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_03]: So they use a lot of talking to get you from place to place and from suspect to suspect.

[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_03]: And all of that was fine.

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_03]: It wasn't amazing to me.

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_03]: It was just okay, but I'm cautiously optimistic brand for some of the reasons that you said,

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_03]: which is I love Sarah drew.

[00:21:09] [SPEAKER_03]: I think Sarah drew in this makes a lot of sense.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I think I'm excited to see where her character goes.

[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_03]: The Peter Mooney character.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It's like somebody got Carlo marks and they exercised all the silly goofy demons right

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: out of him.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_03]: And they, they now have a serious character left and it's Peter Mooney.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I think he could be fine for, for what his role is, but they do some, some little things

[00:21:31] [SPEAKER_03]: really well here.

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_03]: The consistent narration, which you pointed out the backstory of this lead being mysterious.

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, in a lot of these movies, we have meddlers, like one character is a cop, one

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_03]: character is a meddler and the meddler typically doesn't have any reason to be a meddler aside

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_03]: from, I like to metal.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm a baker that metals like they don't have a good reason, but it's very clear that Sarah drew probably

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_03]: is more qualified to do what she's doing than the police officer is.

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_03]: So I really liked that.

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, you know, there's a guy who has a flask that isn't a bad guy.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_03]: That's a big deal.

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_03]: We don't see that every day on Hallmark.

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: So there's some things here that I think we don't normally see.

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_04]: And there's a pregnancy out of wedlock.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I think that that, you know, you've got to kill the woman.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_03]: There's a reason this was on Hallmark plus they killed Steve Lunds.

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_03]: They killed Steve Lund guys.

[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, so I wasn't, I'm with you.

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm with both of you at this point, I guess I was very mad on this movie as a, as a singular

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_03]: entity.

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_03]: If this was one, if that was all we got, I would say, give me more cases of mystery lane.

[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Give me more, uh, haunted mysteries in G minor.

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Give me more true justice.

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Give me more.

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_03]: There'd be three or four of these mystery movies that I would rather have more of than

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_03]: this one.

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_03]: However, knowing that there's more, I'm excited about this character and I'm excited about the

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_03]: fact that if this is the worst set, which I've heard from, I seen in the chat already, it's

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_03]: way, this is the worst by a mile.

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_03]: So if this is the worst of them, then count me in.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: There you go.

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, let's get to all the fields where we're talking about what in this, uh, movie episodes,

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: whatever, uh, gave us fields.

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Alonzo?

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yeah.

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's a piggy piggyback on what Dan was just saying.

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, I am used to, I mean, I've seen a few other ones that aren't Hannah Swenson, but

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_04]: yeah, I'm generally used to like cop is cop and lady is nosy.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_04]: You know?

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_04]: And so to have the lady is super spy.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:23:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't know, you know, and I'll tell you this now at the end of the six episodes slash

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_04]: three movies, we still don't know.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_04]: So I, I admire the slow burn here.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Wow.

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_03]: We're not going to know her backstory after six episodes.

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Uh, uh, oh my gosh.

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

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_03]: What are you doing?

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_04]: I love the dangle.

[00:23:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I love the, you know, the, the, the, they're, they're teasing it out.

[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, so that's pretty cool.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, yeah.

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_04]: Steve Lund is the victim.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_04]: I think is a great idea.

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_04]: There should be.

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Why are we not?

[00:24:03] [SPEAKER_04]: If, if, if the thing now is like, oh, let's have these fun cameos where we put the

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_04]: Hall stars in each other's movies, kill more Hall stars.

[00:24:11] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Make more Hall stars.

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_04]: I think, I think people will love that.

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And so, um, I think that needs to be happening.

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: And yeah, I want to see, I love the idea of, you know, we've had, I own a, I do garage

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_04]: sales.

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I own an antique store.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_04]: I am a librarian.

[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_04]: I own a Christmas store.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Sure.

[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_04]: Why not?

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Uh, and, and I think brand new will see there is more Christmas that pops up in

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_04]: the next few episodes, but, uh, all of these, the three movies slash.

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Six episodes we get so far are all in the lead up to Christmas, which is a, a lot of

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_04]: homicide for a small town.

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_04]: And B, uh, I would really, I, I want them to commit to the bit so hard that there's like

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_04]: a July one.

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_04]: And it's like, she's at her store, but everybody's wearing like shorts and flip flops.

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_04]: And be like, yeah, I'm not.

[00:25:02] [SPEAKER_04]: No, thank you.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_03]: But will they ever get to the point where we don't have to have a murder every two episodes?

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_03]: Like where it's truly a serialized television program where it's like big timer.

[00:25:13] [SPEAKER_03]: They murdered freaking Tyler Hines.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's like twist turns, red herrings, six episodes, big killer reveal.

[00:25:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Will they ever get there?

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, okay.

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Like a twin peaks.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Like a true detective.

[00:25:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Like, are we ever, are we anywhere near that?

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_04]: I suspect that the economics of this, that they, these movies have to exist as movies for

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_04]: various reasons.

[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_04]: And so they're all going to have to have one committed and solved murder per.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I think so too.

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_03]: And that's, I think that's going to hold this back for me a little bit, but I I'm,

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm here for it if they can somehow push, push through it.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, my feels was I, you know, knowing that this was a, uh, a two parter, um, I was intrigued

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_02]: like, how are they going to do this?

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_02]: How are they going to do this thing where they end 42 minutes into a movie and say,

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_02]: come back next week for another one.

[00:26:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought that the, the reveal of her walking away from explosion, showing a bit

[00:26:16] [SPEAKER_02]: of her past, um, and doing a similar thing to end a part two where she's looking in the

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: box and you can kind of see like, there's still something there.

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I, I thought as, as far as like, as, as I didn't know what they could do to make it

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: work.

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And I thought as far as ways to go about it, that worked for me and I could see myself.

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't watch our unsolved mystery for the long haul.

[00:26:42] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So I didn't, I didn't go in, I didn't watch this week, week to week, but I could see myself

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_02]: getting to the end of part one and being like, all right, I can't, I'm, I'm, I'm in for

[00:26:52] [SPEAKER_02]: another episode.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_03]: And the thing is, is that they did that cliffhanger and it has nothing to do with the murder at

[00:26:57] [SPEAKER_03]: all.

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: Right.

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That was my thing was like, they did, they were like, how do we make this two TV episodes

[00:27:03] [SPEAKER_03]: and not one movie?

[00:27:04] [SPEAKER_03]: I got it.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_03]: We'll say eight months ago, someone with the mortar combat logo tried to blow her up via

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_03]: green screen.

[00:27:13] [SPEAKER_03]: That's what we'll do.

[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Stay tuned.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Stay, we'll keep you posted in eight days in November 7th.

[00:27:20] [SPEAKER_03]: If you can find out more about, no, you will not.

[00:27:22] [SPEAKER_03]: It's about Steve Lundsberg.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that, that scene to me was the worst scene.

[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_03]: It's see, I would, my feels was that scene was the worst scene in this first, in these

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_03]: first two.

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_03]: I hated it.

[00:27:33] [SPEAKER_03]: I bet it had nothing to do with anything about this case.

[00:27:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It was there.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: So they had a character building, Dan.

[00:27:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Have you read a book?

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I love the character building.

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_03]: That was not character building.

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I've been on the cheap.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I think you might've liked it better.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_04]: Correct.

[00:27:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Correct.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Correct.

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_03]: It was a really poorly done sequence.

[00:27:50] [SPEAKER_03]: I think that was probably my issue too.

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_03]: And I'll take that as my feels.

[00:27:53] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Sure.

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll take your answer off the air.

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Dawson McAllister live.

[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's do that.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You can turn your radio down.

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_03]: That'd be great.

[00:28:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You can turn that radio down.

[00:28:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Turn your radio down.

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Turn your radio down.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:28:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's take a quick break.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll come back.

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll get to the way one, the what the hallmark here on deck, the hallmark.

[00:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Deck the hallmark.

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_02]: I was drinking something and you didn't even, you didn't look over here.

[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Take the ear off.

[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Hi.

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Welcome back everybody.

[00:28:24] [SPEAKER_02]: It's, it's Bran.

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Dan.

[00:28:26] [SPEAKER_02]: It's Alonzo.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: We're talking mistletoe murders one and two, the pear trees situation.

[00:28:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's get to the way.

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What is where we talk about?

[00:28:35] [SPEAKER_02]: What in this, these episodes, this movie, I'm going to just go, wait, what Alonzo?

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Well, this is a small town and it's established that the diner is sort of like where all the

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_04]: action is.

[00:28:46] [SPEAKER_04]: This is where the book club meets and only orders water.

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_04]: This is where Christmas karaoke happens.

[00:28:52] [SPEAKER_04]: This is where people go for their coffee in the morning.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe don't pick that place as the, Hey, guess what?

[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm pregnant conversation.

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_04]: What?

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Location.

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe don't.

[00:29:04] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe if you don't want the rest of the town in your business, don't pick the one town.

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_04]: It's like, it'd be like if this were in a small town in Texas and you went and had this

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_04]: conversation at the dairy queen, like everyone would be there.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_04]: You mean the DQ?

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_04]: Is out like, yes, exactly.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_04]: The, the, the brazier heard it.

[00:29:23] [SPEAKER_04]: Everybody knows it's all over.

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_04]: So like that was a big, uh, I thought kind of a goof them up there for those folks.

[00:29:30] [SPEAKER_04]: Um, you know, generally speaking, I think there's, you know, I think there's, you

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_04]: know, I, I, I got a little lost following the money in this one as far as like, you know,

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_04]: he, he takes the money out of his account, which, you know, she manages to get that guy

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_04]: to show him through like the flimsiest blackmail imaginable and then hands it off to barn guy

[00:29:53] [SPEAKER_04]: who pays off his gambling debts, but it's actually just a down payment for the other thing and

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_04]: the bag and the ribbon and the, and, and that was, I don't know, maybe that's just me.

[00:30:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Maybe you have to go back and create a murder board and, and track it more carefully.

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_04]: But that all seemed a little like whimsy wobbly, but, um, you know, yeah, for the most part,

[00:30:13] [SPEAKER_04]: I think you have to buy into things like she's a former super spy who now owns a year round

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_04]: Christmas shop.

[00:30:18] [SPEAKER_04]: And once you've accepted that really, I think most of the rest of it kind of falls in place.

[00:30:22] [SPEAKER_03]: I, I had no problem accepting that.

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_03]: I was actually fascinated by her keeping her identity a secret.

[00:30:28] [SPEAKER_03]: I thought that was like, that's my big hook for this series is she's more qualified than the cop.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:30:36] [SPEAKER_03]: That's my, that's my big takeaway that I would say is has a leg up on every other murder mystery

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_03]: that we've seen this year, especially is this woman has some more layers to her that make

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_03]: her qualified to solve murder.

[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_03]: And just so happens, there's going to be a bunch in this small town, apparently.

[00:30:54] [SPEAKER_04]: And that, but like her laptop.

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_04]: So, you know, she's, yeah.

[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So like, she knows what she's doing.

[00:30:59] [SPEAKER_03]: And so that to me and like parsing that out to people, because if you don't tell anyone,

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_03]: anything, then when they find out, they're not going to trust.

[00:31:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Like that is a very fun aspect of this show to me.

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_03]: So I'm, I'm hoping I'm a little worried that I don't get any, like, I'm hoping that I get

[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_03]: some information.

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_04]: You'll get a little, some drips and drives, but it's still, it's not completely spelled out.

[00:31:21] [SPEAKER_04]: And, and the thing is, I think part of the, the, the, the untold joke of this show is the idea of not that she's in witness protection, but if you were in witness protection, then you would say like, you know what?

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I want to go to a small town or open a Christmas all year store.

[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_04]: No one's going to notice me.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, that's right.

[00:31:39] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll blend in.

[00:31:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I'll blend in the background here.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_03]: Fletcher Knowles.

[00:31:43] [SPEAKER_04]: Like a chameleon.

[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:31:45] Like a chameleon.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_03]: Nobody.

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, Gordon says that the wagons are booked up through Christmas.

[00:31:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Now that's fine.

[00:31:54] [SPEAKER_02]: If the wagon was remotely Christmassy, we have lots of wonderful things in the Greenville surrounding area.

[00:32:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You can go and, you know, pet some animals and stuff at the Holly wild.

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to kind of get a little sad, if you want to support that, if you want to go out to eat, you can do the thing where you drive around your car and look at all the lights and stuff.

[00:32:20] [SPEAKER_02]: There's nary a light to be found on this wagon ride.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Now, if you want to do a Christmas wagon ride and have it go through like this Christmas light wonderland, I understand booking ahead of time to get your hands on that.

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_02]: But this is Hayride hot chocolate in the real cold.

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Hayride hot chocolate.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know why that is booked through solid through Christmas.

[00:32:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Gordon, just put up a light, bud.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Put up a light.

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_02]: That's all I'm asking for.

[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that too much?

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Is that too much?

[00:32:51] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.

[00:32:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Um, she claims that she doesn't like to lie.

[00:32:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: All right.

[00:33:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You big liar.

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I would, I would, uh, you know, she has to lie obviously because she's doing this thing and she's trying to solve the crime and whatnot.

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_02]: She's like, I don't like to lie.

[00:33:13] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a don't make me sick.

[00:33:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't make me lie.

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_02]: There is a maybe three scenes, this entire, uh, movie that she does not lie.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: She loves lying.

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

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, at one point I believe on that wagon ride, Gordon goes and don't forget Christmas trees are available for preorder.

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_03]: When are they available for order?

[00:33:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's Christmas time with preorder.

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: What do we do?

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Like when does this take place?

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Do we know?

[00:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, this is during the Christmas season.

[00:33:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Is it post post?

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_04]: We don't get an advent calendar here.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_04]: So I don't know like if it's Thanksgiving, I don't know if it's December 4th.

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if it's December 12th, like December 7th.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_04]: That's when you want to go get that tree.

[00:34:00] [SPEAKER_03]: November Christmas tree lots are open.

[00:34:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Like if this movie took place in October, that'd be like, oh, great.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_03]: All right.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_03]: I get it.

[00:34:07] [SPEAKER_04]: It's soon enough before Christmas that there are two more murders.

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_04]: That's right.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_04]: That much.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_04]: I know.

[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_03]: Christmas tree is available for preorder.

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Can we get on the order list?

[00:34:16] [SPEAKER_03]: I would like the, I would like one now.

[00:34:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Can I get, can I move from preorder to order?

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_04]: This murder is also available for preorder.

[00:34:22] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, she is in this house.

[00:34:24] [SPEAKER_03]: She broke into this house to get some info and the cops are there after she gets there.

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_03]: And so she's hiding and then she has to like hide behind the bed.

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And then Peter Mooney comes in the room and then she slides under the bed.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_03]: And then he goes around to the other side and then she slides out the door.

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_03]: She does all this without making a single sound.

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_03]: And it's awesome.

[00:34:42] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm no complaints.

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_03]: It's awesome.

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Not a pin drop.

[00:34:45] [SPEAKER_03]: She makes zero decibels of noise.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_03]: None.

[00:34:48] [SPEAKER_03]: And then she slams the door.

[00:34:50] [SPEAKER_03]: Like my eight year old.

[00:34:52] [SPEAKER_03]: When I tell him, he can't play video games.

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_03]: She leaves that house like, and that's final.

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_03]: She, I don't like you did all of the easy stuff, the hard stuff so well.

[00:35:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And then all you had to do was not close the door all the way.

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_03]: And she slams the heck out of that door.

[00:35:08] [SPEAKER_03]: Like just no full stop.

[00:35:12] [SPEAKER_03]: I mean, that was the one day of ninja super spy class.

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_03]: She didn't.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_03]: She skipped that day.

[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_03]: How to close doors softly.

[00:35:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Boy, did she catch a break with guy whose office features three baseballs in glass cases.

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_03]: Promotly.

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_03]: You know, most people have like a, like a name up there and they keep like their souvenirs or whatever, maybe on a back wall.

[00:35:32] [SPEAKER_03]: This guy's like, I'm going to hear me.

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to clear my desk.

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_03]: It's going to be empty, but they're going to be three glass baseballs right in the front up there.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_03]: So people can ask me about my base, but don't make me baseball.

[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_03]: Whatever you do, don't make me.

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't make me baseball.

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_03]: Um, and then this guy who kills him.

[00:35:52] [SPEAKER_02]: He used a famous baseball players name as his alias.

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_03]: I was going to let that slide.

[00:35:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That and the fact that the cop lets her just go and tear it like see a person in holding like that's just.

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_03]: But like, I know that it's a fake name, but it's like, hey, on the roll tonight at the Christmas tree thing, Babe Ruth was here.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_03]: Can you believe that?

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_03]: That was wild.

[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Anybody know a guy named Mookie?

[00:36:14] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_03]: So many.

[00:36:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Mookie Betts, Mookie Wilson, pride of South Carolina.

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Also in the, forget it.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_03]: He's just bad at alias.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He's bad at alias.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_03]: He's bad at alias.

[00:36:24] [SPEAKER_03]: He's bad at alias.

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: It'd be like me playing alias as like Paolo Boncaro.

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_02]: You'd be like, oh, that's probably Bran.

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_03]: That's Bran.

[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's probably Bran.

[00:36:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Is there a McNasty here?

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_03]: McNasty.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_03]: He signed in as McNasty.

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_03]: And lastly, the guy that ends up killing everybody, Rowan with the attic and the barn.

[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that his name, Rowan?

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_03]: Rowan.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_03]: That's right.

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_03]: And finally when he does his big speech, which all of these movies have these big speeches

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_03]: where he's like, yeah, I killed him.

[00:36:50] [SPEAKER_03]: He says, yeah, I killed him, but he shouldn't have taken the flask and she shouldn't have

[00:36:56] [SPEAKER_03]: made the poison so readily available.

[00:37:00] [SPEAKER_03]: You still killed them.

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Like you can't be like, yes, I killed him, but she it's listen.

[00:37:06] [SPEAKER_03]: I blame society.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_03]: That poison was just like begging to be taken.

[00:37:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you see what she was wearing?

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_03]: Did you see what she was wearing?

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Like what Rowan, buddy, you're a murderer.

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_03]: You're a murderer.

[00:37:20] [SPEAKER_03]: You put out a jar of phenobarbital.

[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_03]: What do you think is going to happen?

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_03]: You can't just have that stuff laying around.

[00:37:26] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't flash these babies in the hall.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_03]: There could be girls on the street.

[00:37:30] [SPEAKER_03]: That's all I got.

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_02]: It's time for what the hallmark is where we wonder what could have been maybe

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_02]: because of clarity and the questions that we still have that we might get answered.

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Alonzo, this is tough for you.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I mean my I think my larger sense is obviously the sorry.

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm not used to having a ring light on and it's drying my eyeballs out.

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_04]: The $64,000 question here is, you know, who is this woman really?

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_04]: And where does she come from?

[00:37:53] [SPEAKER_04]: But yeah, I think in a more immediate sense, it is the larger question of when are we?

[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_04]: Because yeah, I don't know exactly at what point in the wintry pre-Christmas juncture

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_04]: were even taking place at this point.

[00:38:08] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's play what's in the box, Dan.

[00:38:11] [SPEAKER_02]: What's in the box?

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_02]: What's in the box?

[00:38:13] [SPEAKER_02]: He's already seen the next couple.

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But Dan, what do you think is in the box?

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go with nunchucks.

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_03]: Nunchucks?

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Nunchucks?

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Nunchucks.

[00:38:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Is that what your kid calls nunchucks?

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:38:21] [SPEAKER_03]: Okay.

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_02]: And me.

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I always thought they were nunchucks because you hit them and then someone goes, no.

[00:38:28] [SPEAKER_03]: It's none.

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Nunes aren't allowed to use those.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_02]: No, it's different.

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

[00:38:32] [SPEAKER_03]: Only nuns named Chuck.

[00:38:35] [SPEAKER_03]: Nunchucks on the other hand.

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it is someone that knows who she is.

[00:38:41] [SPEAKER_03]: So it's some sort of evidence that someone knows who she is.

[00:38:46] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_03]: No.

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_02]: I said what's in the box and you said it's someone who knows who she is.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I think.

[00:38:52] [SPEAKER_02]: That's what you said.

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I get how you got there.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Someone's head.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Remember what we're watching.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Someone's head's in the box.

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_03]: Someone's head's in the box.

[00:38:58] [SPEAKER_03]: That's my answer.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: Gwyneth Pelfrich.

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_03]: It's the end of seven.

[00:39:01] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the end of seven.

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, there we go.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_03]: Now we're doing it.

[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_03]: You got anything?

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_03]: No, that's it.
