Santa Tell Me (Hallmark Channel - 2024)

[00:00:00] Hi, I'm Bram and I love Hallmark Christmas movies. I'm Bram and I didn't hear... I'm not Bram. I'm not Bram at all. I'm not Bram. I said I'm Bram. Of the things to get wrong, your name is fascinating. It's a choice. I'm Bram. This is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast.

[00:00:28] It took you too long to catch that.

[00:00:30] Brendan and Friends host this podcast.

[00:00:35] We hope you like this jolly podcast.

[00:00:39] He was the backup, but now he's a canonic.

[00:00:43] He's still explaining.

[00:00:44] Yeah, well good, thank God for explaining.

[00:00:46] You wanna explain yourself?

[00:00:48] So, I clearly...

[00:00:50] Bram, I was on autopilot and I started thinking about...

[00:00:54] Your autopilot is to use my name?

[00:00:56] To be Bram.

[00:00:57] Where else are you doing this?

[00:00:58] No, my brain was normally on autopilot during the intro and then I started thinking about how I was mad I didn't hear Ariana Grande in this song.

[00:01:08] And I was like, this is something that Bram should be mad about, not me.

[00:01:12] And then at the last minute, my brain was like, put it in the intro.

[00:01:15] And so I decided to try to put it in the intro and it came out.

[00:01:19] I'm Bram.

[00:01:20] I'm not Bram, but that's what it sounded like.

[00:01:23] If this is your first episode, par for the course.

[00:01:26] I'm Bram.

[00:01:26] Wouldn't you like to be me though?

[00:01:28] I'm Dan for everyone confused.

[00:01:28] Would you like to be sticky like his candy cane?

[00:01:30] What do you think it's like to be in my head?

[00:01:34] I mean, about as confusing as that intro?

[00:01:36] Do you think you would enjoy it or not?

[00:01:38] Oh, man.

[00:01:39] I mean, do I have a knowledge of it or am I just you and don't know that I'm here?

[00:01:43] You wake up one day and we've sister swapped.

[00:01:46] No, that's not that.

[00:01:47] We've got family swapped.

[00:01:48] We sister acted.

[00:01:52] We've parent trapped.

[00:01:53] Parent trapped.

[00:01:54] There it is.

[00:01:54] We have parent trapped?

[00:01:55] No.

[00:01:56] Perfect Strangers.

[00:01:56] What's the one where Lindsay Lohan is?

[00:01:59] Change up.

[00:01:59] Freaky Friday.

[00:02:00] 13 Forever 13.

[00:02:00] Freaky Friday.

[00:02:01] Freaky Friday.

[00:02:02] Yeah.

[00:02:03] So I know that I'm supposed to be, my brain is in your body.

[00:02:07] I'm not having your thoughts.

[00:02:08] I'm just you.

[00:02:09] Dang it.

[00:02:10] Yeah, it's not my body.

[00:02:11] I'm just probably like, why am I craving sugar all the time?

[00:02:14] Yeah.

[00:02:15] Why do I need another?

[00:02:16] I need something sweet.

[00:02:18] Yeah.

[00:02:19] You wake up and somehow you are both simultaneously.

[00:02:23] Freaky Friday, but also in the brain.

[00:02:25] It's a brain freaky Friday.

[00:02:25] But you're also still aware of who you are.

[00:02:28] Yes, you have.

[00:02:29] Yes.

[00:02:30] Yeah.

[00:02:30] You remember.

[00:02:31] I probably am just like pushing yours off to the side.

[00:02:35] Do you want to tell people, Dan, about how you out-matched the room the other day on a

[00:02:40] phone call?

[00:02:42] And you were like, I don't even remember what you said.

[00:02:45] We were like, I guess that wasn't what they were wanting for it.

[00:02:47] I was like, that's not what most people are wanting.

[00:02:49] I, it's hard to explain that without getting into a little bit of the weeds, but the short

[00:02:53] version is, is Brandon and I are thinking about purchasing something and we're talking

[00:02:58] about offers on how much, and I'm talking with the person that's negotiating that for

[00:03:03] us.

[00:03:03] And I just decided like to explain, I did it in a text and she called me and she was like,

[00:03:08] Hey, the text was confusing.

[00:03:10] So I explained all the different permutations of the sliding scale of our offer.

[00:03:14] Like we could do this, but this, or we could do this, but this and any combination in between.

[00:03:19] And then he went into the combination.

[00:03:21] And I went into all the numbers with brand.

[00:03:22] We're at the movie theater with our kids out in the lobby out there about to see best

[00:03:27] Christmas pageant ever.

[00:03:28] And we're just going through it.

[00:03:29] And he was like, looking at me.

[00:03:30] I was like, yeah, she pretty much hung up.

[00:03:32] She was like, just like, uh, okay, got it.

[00:03:34] Like, I'm just going to.

[00:03:35] So it was tough.

[00:03:36] It was tough out there.

[00:03:37] It's just always good to know.

[00:03:38] It's not just me.

[00:03:39] Yeah.

[00:03:39] The eyes glaze over and whatnot.

[00:03:41] Um, uh, Hey everybody.

[00:03:43] Welcome.

[00:03:44] Uh, hopefully you're doing well today.

[00:03:46] Uh, another, another Tuesday here in the old, uh, studios here in Greenville, South Carolina.

[00:03:52] It's great to be here in Greenville.

[00:03:53] And I gotta be honest with you.

[00:03:54] The weekend fall for Greenville brand.

[00:03:57] I, uh, it's a fall for Greenville is a lot.

[00:04:00] And I will say, uh, there's so many people downtown this weekend that I, I'm not going

[00:04:06] to say I'm happy it's over, but I am a little bit happy.

[00:04:08] It's over.

[00:04:08] I'm happy that it happened.

[00:04:10] I enjoyed going.

[00:04:11] Did you get down there and go?

[00:04:13] Uh, I skirted.

[00:04:14] I, uh, I went and it was a blast, but I was coming from West Greenville and I parked in

[00:04:23] the Richardson street garage.

[00:04:26] And so getting back to my house on the other side of main street took a half hour.

[00:04:30] So on Friday, early evening, it took me a half hour to get from Richardson street garage

[00:04:36] to my house, which normally takes like five minutes.

[00:04:38] That's so time for you to like contemplate and think and relax.

[00:04:42] That's how I do it.

[00:04:43] Aaron, you worked down there this weekend.

[00:04:44] Is that right?

[00:04:45] Yes, I did.

[00:04:46] Would you, what'd you, what was your big take away?

[00:04:48] You were a man in the DTH tent?

[00:04:50] DTH tent.

[00:04:51] Yeah.

[00:04:51] What was your thought?

[00:04:52] Fall for Greenville?

[00:04:52] I was just down there live podcasting the whole weekend.

[00:04:55] Was that your first fall for Greenville or did you go last year?

[00:04:57] No, I went last year.

[00:04:58] Okay.

[00:04:58] Yeah.

[00:04:58] But this is your first time working it.

[00:05:00] Yeah.

[00:05:00] I thought I would be a good citizen of Greenville and donate some of my time.

[00:05:04] Oh, you didn't get paid?

[00:05:05] No, it's a volunteer situation.

[00:05:07] Oh my God.

[00:05:08] Oh, you weren't at, you weren't doing cook station stuff?

[00:05:10] No, I volunteered for the city of Greenville.

[00:05:12] Can I ask a question?

[00:05:13] When you said good citizen, I was like, I didn't know cook station had a thing down there,

[00:05:16] but she's getting paid at least.

[00:05:17] You were a city of Greenville booth attendant?

[00:05:21] Why?

[00:05:21] I worked the wine garden.

[00:05:23] That's why.

[00:05:24] And you didn't get tips or anything?

[00:05:25] I mean, I got 10 free tickets.

[00:05:28] Oh, so two drinks.

[00:05:30] Cool.

[00:05:30] To go hang out.

[00:05:31] But wow.

[00:05:32] Maybe some chicken wings.

[00:05:33] Why did you do that?

[00:05:34] I wanted to be a good citizen.

[00:05:36] Oh, wow.

[00:05:37] I thought like when they put up the call for volunteers, I thought.

[00:05:40] You hear that?

[00:05:41] I want to be a dedicated, like I like living here.

[00:05:44] I thought I did.

[00:05:44] I mean, before you.

[00:05:45] No, before you applaud.

[00:05:46] Like I regret it.

[00:05:48] I don't think I'll do it again.

[00:05:50] Sunday, it was low 50s and pouring rain the whole time.

[00:05:54] Lousy.

[00:05:54] It's tough.

[00:05:55] It's a tough one.

[00:05:55] So I was trying.

[00:05:56] I was selling.

[00:05:57] You have to buy the $1 wristband to drink downtown.

[00:06:01] So I was trying to put the wristband on people.

[00:06:03] And I was just, I was an icicle and I was shaking.

[00:06:06] And I was just like every person was like, I'm so sorry.

[00:06:09] I'm doing my best.

[00:06:10] But look at you.

[00:06:11] And Greenville is full of errands.

[00:06:13] Greenville is full of people that are just like,

[00:06:15] helpful and whatnot.

[00:06:17] It's amazing.

[00:06:18] Well, thanks for your service.

[00:06:20] Full of regret.

[00:06:21] I mean, I loved it on Saturday.

[00:06:22] I worked two days.

[00:06:24] I did one shift.

[00:06:25] Oh, you worked both days.

[00:06:25] Yeah.

[00:06:25] I just thought I'd be a good person.

[00:06:28] Huge heart.

[00:06:28] Man.

[00:06:29] So I had a lot of fun when the weather was nice on Saturday.

[00:06:31] I got to talk to a lot of people.

[00:06:33] I got to rep.

[00:06:34] There's a new canned cocktail called Picnic Brunch.

[00:06:37] They have mimosas, bellinis, and Bloody Marys.

[00:06:39] They're delicious.

[00:06:45] Did you wear any DTH merch down there?

[00:06:47] Or is this just purely just for the good of the game?

[00:06:49] I had to wear a volunteer shirt.

[00:06:52] You did tell people about the podcast, though.

[00:06:54] Oh, yeah.

[00:06:55] I did.

[00:06:55] I told a lot of people about the podcast.

[00:06:57] Yeah.

[00:06:57] They were like, a lot of men were like, oh, my wife loves Hallmark.

[00:07:01] I'll have to tell her.

[00:07:01] And I was like, yeah, go for it.

[00:07:02] It's a great time.

[00:07:03] That's right.

[00:07:04] But you can listen to men out there.

[00:07:06] Absolutely.

[00:07:06] You don't have to suppress it.

[00:07:09] No.

[00:07:09] We are.

[00:07:10] Just be who you are.

[00:07:10] That's exactly right.

[00:07:11] Just like Dan is over here.

[00:07:12] That's right.

[00:07:13] I'm praying today.

[00:07:14] That's exactly right.

[00:07:14] You're just being who you are.

[00:07:16] Speaking of not suppressing it anymore, guys, I know there's a lot of people out there that

[00:07:20] have been like, we keep hearing you talk about the Christmas movie magic.

[00:07:23] But is it really that much fun?

[00:07:25] Is it really worth buying?

[00:07:26] When you're undefeated, it is.

[00:07:28] It absolutely is.

[00:07:29] And it is absolutely worth getting.

[00:07:31] And you can get it right now.

[00:07:33] And I think you should have it.

[00:07:35] Yeah, for sure you should have it by the business of Thanksgiving week and all that stuff.

[00:07:39] It would be a great game to have maybe a copy or two of if you are having people join you

[00:07:45] for Thanksgiving.

[00:07:46] Oh, it would be perfect.

[00:07:46] And part of your Thanksgiving celebration is watching some of these movies.

[00:07:51] This would be perfect.

[00:07:52] Christmas movie magic.

[00:07:53] It's available right now.

[00:07:54] We would love for you to get it.

[00:07:55] Dykthehomeart.com slash game.

[00:07:58] Game.

[00:07:59] Game.

[00:07:59] Game.

[00:08:00] And while we're talking about Thanksgiving week, it's also the perfect time to get

[00:08:03] Philo.

[00:08:04] Philo.tv slash DTH.

[00:08:06] Yeah.

[00:08:07] Because there's so many movies coming out.

[00:08:09] We were literally just talking about how crazy it is.

[00:08:13] And then with the Hallmark Plus of it all, it's like, who has time for all of that?

[00:08:17] Well, no one does.

[00:08:18] And that's why Philo exists.

[00:08:20] You can throw all the movies on your DVR, unlimited DVR over on Philo, and watch them whenever

[00:08:26] you want to.

[00:08:27] You don't have to watch them live.

[00:08:29] You can just throw it on the old DVR and watch it, because it's not going to go away.

[00:08:33] The movie's going to stay there.

[00:08:34] It's going to stay in your DVR, so you don't have to worry about that and the space.

[00:08:37] None of that.

[00:08:39] How about that?

[00:08:39] Join us.

[00:08:40] And then you can watch our show, too.

[00:08:41] Yeah.

[00:08:41] I mean, come on.

[00:08:42] Exclusive.

[00:08:43] It's a win-win.

[00:08:44] To follow exclusive.

[00:08:46] All right.

[00:08:46] I think we've done what we should do to start the show.

[00:08:51] Call for Greenville and volunteering.

[00:08:54] Now it's time to talk about Santa Tell Me.

[00:08:58] Do you have anything that you want to say, Dan?

[00:09:00] Any thoughts on the title of this movie?

[00:09:02] I can't believe we didn't hear any Ariana Grande.

[00:09:05] And I think the fact that I'm the only one upset about this is crazy.

[00:09:10] I didn't think that we would just financially speak.

[00:09:13] Yeah.

[00:09:14] I don't never expect that.

[00:09:16] They stay away from titles like this unless they're going to play you the song.

[00:09:20] Like, Where Are You Christmas?

[00:09:22] The song was in there.

[00:09:24] Like, if you do that for a song from the last 20 years, you would expect that we hear it.

[00:09:31] Maybe it's a cover.

[00:09:31] Maybe it's not Ariana.

[00:09:33] Maybe it's a cover.

[00:09:35] But really expected to hear the song.

[00:09:37] We didn't have even a different version of it in there?

[00:09:40] No.

[00:09:40] I don't remember.

[00:09:41] Not anywhere near it.

[00:09:41] So what's the title matter?

[00:09:43] How does this title relate to this movie?

[00:09:44] The title sucks if you don't play the song.

[00:09:46] Didn't you make this connection, actually?

[00:09:48] It's a bad title.

[00:09:49] You're mad.

[00:09:50] You're mad.

[00:09:50] Now I think I'm upset.

[00:09:51] I'm furious.

[00:09:52] This is ridiculous.

[00:09:54] Why would they do that?

[00:09:56] Just be better.

[00:09:58] Santa Tell Me originally aired on the Hallmark Channel November 9th, 2024, and it wouldn't

[00:10:02] know something like this.

[00:10:03] Olivia is...

[00:10:04] On the third nick of Christmas.

[00:10:05] Oh, hey-oh.

[00:10:06] There's Brian.

[00:10:07] Hey, it's Brian, everybody.

[00:10:08] Middle chair.

[00:10:09] There he is.

[00:10:10] Filo.tv slash DTH.

[00:10:12] We regret Aaron volunteering.

[00:10:14] That's right.

[00:10:15] This is what happens.

[00:10:16] She goes to work for City of Greenville.

[00:10:18] No.

[00:10:19] No.

[00:10:19] What is that?

[00:10:20] I'm not going to let Aaron take the blame for this.

[00:10:23] I'm going to blame my child for this, who did fart around here the other day.

[00:10:29] Olivia, who's a little girl, writes...

[00:10:31] And probably messed up the camera.

[00:10:33] Olivia, a little girl...

[00:10:34] Fascinating to see what these other two are going to look like.

[00:10:36] ...writes a letter to Santa asking him to reveal who her one true love will be.

[00:10:43] They go...

[00:10:43] Oh, Santa.

[00:10:44] Yes.

[00:10:45] Santa, tell me who my love's going to be.

[00:10:47] Sure.

[00:10:47] They go to sleep and wake up the next morning to find that Santa brought her a dollhouse.

[00:10:53] Stupid Santa.

[00:10:54] She thinks, I'm sure Santa will give me a name soon.

[00:10:57] How long could it really take, you know?

[00:10:59] Fast forward 25 years, and Olivia is now a hotshot dealmaker who always rates her Uber drivers with stars out loud.

[00:11:09] And hands money to Santa, ringing a bell on the street.

[00:11:12] She works as a designer for sets at the Style Home Network.

[00:11:17] As she's preparing for an upcoming shoot, Olivia gets called to her boss's office.

[00:11:21] They're interested in having her on camera.

[00:11:24] She's pumped.

[00:11:25] This is what she's worked for her entire career.

[00:11:27] But her excitement is quickly extinguished when she finds out that Chris Davis is directing the special.

[00:11:36] Ugh, Chris Davis.

[00:11:37] Chris directs a show called Model Home, which Olivia thinks is tacky.

[00:11:41] She's unsure how to feel, so she hops into her Uber and vents to the driver, Rodney, about how she thinks Chris is the worst possible choice.

[00:11:52] Rodney encourages her to give Chris a chance.

[00:11:55] Olivia asks, well, how did you know is, give this Chris Davis a chance?

[00:12:01] And he's like, well, how did you know what his last name was?

[00:12:04] And then realizes, to her surprise, that Rodney isn't Rodney.

[00:12:08] Rodney is Chris Davis.

[00:12:09] Just driving.

[00:12:11] Chris Davis is Nick Davis.

[00:12:12] It's a whole thing.

[00:12:14] Chris explains that the network bought Olivia's childhood home for the remodel.

[00:12:20] And it's going to be the feature of the special.

[00:12:23] Olivia protests that the house needs too much work for a one-episode show.

[00:12:28] It should be a full season.

[00:12:29] But Chris doesn't budge, even when he almost falls through a wall.

[00:12:34] Olivia invites her sister Darcy over for some inspiration.

[00:12:37] And while they're there, they hear a strange ringing, a ringing of the bell in the walls.

[00:12:43] Olivia reaches inside of a vent and finds a letter addressed to her, to her shock.

[00:12:50] It's the letter that she wrote to Santa all those years ago.

[00:12:53] She opens it up, and inside of that is a mysterious rhyme that reveals itself and says that her one true love's name is Nick.

[00:13:04] There you go.

[00:13:04] Olivia scoffs at first and throws the letter in the trash.

[00:13:07] But the next morning, it appears in her possession.

[00:13:11] She throws it away again.

[00:13:14] Then Olivia has not one but three rom-com-worthy meet cubes.

[00:13:19] She has an encounter with Nick A in a coffee shop after a little coffee swap.

[00:13:24] Spills that coffee on Nick B.

[00:13:26] And then narrowly avoids getting hit by a truck thanks to Nick C, who rescues her.

[00:13:32] And the letter keeps showing up.

[00:13:35] Olivia gets all three Nick's numbers and decides when life gives you three Nicks, you go on three dates.

[00:13:42] But will she even have the time?

[00:13:46] She goes to a meeting with Chris at the house, and the meeting doesn't go exactly very well.

[00:13:53] Her date with Nick A is next.

[00:13:56] He's rented out an entire ice ring just for the two of them.

[00:14:00] They have a great time until she accidentally pops a bottle of champagne, and the cork goes right into his eye.

[00:14:06] Getting slizzered.

[00:14:07] I know.

[00:14:07] Their romantic evening ends up with a trip to the hospital, but they laugh it off.

[00:14:12] Back on set, Olivia and Chris' relationship is still tense, but there's some undeniable flirty energy at this point.

[00:14:20] Then Olivia and Darcy visit a custom woodworking shop for potential show inspiration,

[00:14:26] and it turns out that Nick B owns the shop and is interested in helping out for the show.

[00:14:31] The pair head to a Christmas festival where Olivia accidentally hits Nick B in the head,

[00:14:37] with a snowball during a competition with Chris, who also happens to be there.

[00:14:41] He jokes, guess I'm a knockout, or guess you're a knockout, or whatever.

[00:14:45] We'll knock out Joe.

[00:14:47] Thank you, everybody.

[00:14:48] It's hard to ignore the growing chemistry.

[00:14:52] Olivia's date with Nick C is a bit of a disaster as well.

[00:14:57] He's a firefighter who's posing for a calendar, and after a cookie incident, that triggers a nut allergy.

[00:15:03] A little too close to home for bride guy here.

[00:15:05] That's it.

[00:15:06] He ends up in the hospital.

[00:15:07] Womp, womp.

[00:15:08] Olivia's starting to freak out.

[00:15:10] What is she supposed to do?

[00:15:13] That's when a letter in her purse shows back up.

[00:15:17] Ring, ring, ring.

[00:15:18] And the letter is changed.

[00:15:20] This time it says that she must choose the right Nick by midnight on Christmas Eve.

[00:15:25] Darcy encourages her to date all three Nicks as much as possible before then.

[00:15:30] Cue the dating montage.

[00:15:32] While at her childhood home, Olivia finds Christmas decorations that she thought were lost forever,

[00:15:38] bringing back fond memories.

[00:15:39] Chris stops by and suggests using some of the old sketches that he finds of hers as inspiration for the remodel,

[00:15:46] which could ultimately end up saving them money.

[00:15:49] Olivia begins to warm to Chris, especially when he implements ideas from her sketches in the dining room.

[00:15:56] On a date with Nick C, still everybody's least favorite, I think I can speak for all of us,

[00:16:01] Olivia is inspired to put a giant bow on the house.

[00:16:05] Which, oddly, Chris agrees with this idea despite it being, I think we can all agree, a bad idea as a giant bow.

[00:16:13] You're telling us we all agree on a lot of things.

[00:16:15] Do you disagree that Nick C is the worst?

[00:16:18] I'm just saying, you're having a lot of leeway with this.

[00:16:21] Does Nick C, is Nick C the worst?

[00:16:24] I'm not going to rank them to shit.

[00:16:26] Oh, you're going to, you like the giant bow on the house?

[00:16:29] I'm, it's fine.

[00:16:31] Okay.

[00:16:32] I like the picture of it better.

[00:16:33] I like the picture of it as well.

[00:16:34] Yeah, the picture of it.

[00:16:35] Yes, yes.

[00:16:36] I think we can all agree on that.

[00:16:37] Yeah.

[00:16:37] I think we can all agree on that.

[00:16:38] Look at how it's coming together.

[00:16:39] Yeah.

[00:16:40] It's a quorum.

[00:16:40] Nick C is the worst Nick.

[00:16:43] Right?

[00:16:44] Dan?

[00:16:45] You're not going to vote.

[00:16:47] When are you going to vote?

[00:16:48] You think Nick C is the worst?

[00:16:49] Oh, man.

[00:16:52] By a hair, I would say.

[00:16:53] Oh, wow.

[00:16:54] Maybe.

[00:16:54] I have a theory on the Knicks.

[00:16:56] Okay.

[00:16:56] All right.

[00:16:57] All right.

[00:16:57] Fair enough.

[00:16:57] Fair enough.

[00:16:58] I don't.

[00:17:01] Olivia starts to soften towards Chris.

[00:17:03] He's actually pretty great, and they both want the same thing for the show.

[00:17:06] But just as things start to look promising, Nick B arrives with a handmade reindeer.

[00:17:12] They talk about where to go for their dates, but Olivia feels a little disconnected with him.

[00:17:17] Then she shows up at Chris's house to decorate the outside tree.

[00:17:22] I don't know.

[00:17:23] When he invites her in, she insists that she has plans.

[00:17:26] They try hugging twice, but it doesn't quite work.

[00:17:29] You know, hugging sometimes hard.

[00:17:31] So they settle for a fist bump.

[00:17:34] Olivia giggles and walks away.

[00:17:35] On her date with Nick A, they're under the mistletoe.

[00:17:38] He leans in for a kiss to take her mind off work, and the sparks fly.

[00:17:43] The next day at work, Olivia and Chris watch the final cut of the prerecorded segment.

[00:17:49] They're having a live portion of the program on Christmas Eve.

[00:17:53] To celebrate, Chris surprises her with a winter wonderland set up at the network's prop warehouse.

[00:17:58] There's even a snow machine.

[00:18:00] A snow machine.

[00:18:01] You kidding me right now?

[00:18:02] You kidding me right now?

[00:18:02] It is magical.

[00:18:03] They walk outside, and they give money to British Santa ringing a bell.

[00:18:08] Just as they almost kiss, Olivia gets a text snapping her back to reality.

[00:18:13] Oh, there goes gravity.

[00:18:14] As Christmas Eve approaches, Olivia is faced with a tough decision, choosing which Nick to pursue.

[00:18:20] The letter changes one last time, basically telling her it is time to pick.

[00:18:25] It's Christmas Eve, and Olivia is preparing for the live broadcast.

[00:18:33] Shockingly, all three Nick show up to surprise her.

[00:18:37] Just as she's about to go live, the three of them realize that they're all dating the same woman

[00:18:42] and end up in a ridiculous, inflatable candy cane fight in the background of the broadcast.

[00:18:48] Olivia, realizing what's happening, runs out to stop them, but they demand that she choose.

[00:18:55] She can't pick, and so all three leave, and Chris storms off angrily,

[00:19:00] because it all messed up the thing that he was so excited about.

[00:19:04] Plus, she was dating three other men.

[00:19:06] The special is a flop, or so she thinks.

[00:19:09] Surprisingly, social media loves her and the Knicks, and the special goes viral.

[00:19:14] Not those Knicks.

[00:19:15] No.

[00:19:16] Olivia gets offered her own show.

[00:19:19] Olivia realizes that Chris is her Christmas dream man,

[00:19:22] but she's going to have to stop him before his train leaves at midnight.

[00:19:26] Her sister locks her keys in the car, so they take the one-horse open sleigh

[00:19:31] that's just hanging out by the house.

[00:19:33] Chris is at the train station when Olivia arrives, just as the train is about to leave.

[00:19:38] He's talking to...

[00:19:39] Oh, there it is.

[00:19:40] He's talking to British Santa, and he's like,

[00:19:45] I feel like...

[00:19:45] But he's in street clothes, British Santa, so he's like,

[00:19:47] I feel like I know you from somewhere.

[00:19:49] Anyway, it's a whole thing.

[00:19:50] And then he taps him on the chest like this.

[00:19:52] You're like, what's going on there?

[00:19:53] Chris goes to board the train, but British Santa pit-pocketed him, took his ticket,

[00:19:58] and left a letter.

[00:19:59] And that letter tells him that getting on the train would be the biggest mistake of his life.

[00:20:03] Olivia arrives at the train station and is sad to see that the train has departed,

[00:20:07] but Chris hasn't.

[00:20:09] Chris isn't on that train.

[00:20:10] He's holding a letter that told him to stay.

[00:20:12] They apologize for how things ended and admit that they've both fallen for each other.

[00:20:18] Just as they're about to kiss, the intercom announces,

[00:20:21] Nick Davis is needed, Nick Davis.

[00:20:25] Olivia realizes, wait, your name is Nick?

[00:20:27] And Chris explains, yeah, but I've gone by my middle name since I was a kid,

[00:20:31] to make things less confusing.

[00:20:32] He's Nick D.

[00:20:33] He's Nick D.

[00:20:34] That's exactly right.

[00:20:35] The clock strikes midnight, snow begins to fall, and they kiss big ones.

[00:20:40] And just like that, Jack's alive!

[00:20:43] Olivia says that this was worth waiting for, and they kissed some more,

[00:20:48] and that my friends was, Santa tell me if you live in hell!

[00:20:54] We did it.

[00:20:55] Let's take a quick break.

[00:20:56] We'll come back and we'll break this movie down here on Deck the Hallmark.

[00:20:59] And you have a calendar where you watch a different Christmas movie almost every night during the holiday season.

[00:21:08] I do.

[00:21:09] It's true.

[00:21:09] I don't do that, but I can tell you that every Christmas, I watch Home Alone.

[00:21:13] Yeah.

[00:21:14] It's a classic.

[00:21:14] And you know what?

[00:21:15] This year, we're going to watch Home Alone on the big screen again with Macaulay Culkin himself.

[00:21:22] A nostalgic night with Macaulay Culkin following a special screening of Home Alone,

[00:21:27] and we're going to be there in person.

[00:21:29] That's right, Danos.

[00:21:29] The Home Alone tour, Macaulay Culkin is going to be appearing in person across the country this holiday season

[00:22:31] Nick sees the worst.

[00:22:32] Yeah, I think that the movie purposely makes each Nick a little bit more,

[00:22:40] like a little bit less full than the previous Nick.

[00:22:44] So like the first Nick is like pediatric neurobrain surgery,

[00:22:51] like doing these very fancy dates.

[00:22:53] The second Nick has a bit of a backstory.

[00:22:56] My parents ran this festival.

[00:22:58] And the third Nick is just hot fireman.

[00:23:00] And I think it's like multiplicity when they make three Michael Keatons,

[00:23:03] and the third Michael Keaton is perfectly just like not bright or like as with it as the other two.

[00:23:11] This Nick C is not, I'm not saying Nick C is dumb,

[00:23:13] but they don't make,

[00:23:15] Benjamin Ayers gets a full character.

[00:23:17] Chris Russell gets 60% of a character.

[00:23:19] Nick C is shirtless fireman.

[00:23:21] So like they do that.

[00:23:24] Which in some movies is a full character.

[00:23:26] That's right.

[00:23:26] But I think it's purposeful.

[00:23:29] I think they do that.

[00:23:30] Like I don't think you're supposed to, you know, think they're all equal.

[00:23:34] Sure.

[00:23:35] You know, maybe it was me.

[00:23:37] Let's share our thoughts on this movie.

[00:23:39] We're going to start with a hot take.

[00:23:40] We're going to share.

[00:23:41] Hey, here's what I think.

[00:23:43] Brian.

[00:23:44] What do you think?

[00:23:45] Share what I think.

[00:23:47] Well, I liked it.

[00:23:48] If I have to say what I think.

[00:23:51] I thought this was fun.

[00:23:52] Like from the jump, like from.

[00:23:53] Fun like from the jump.

[00:23:54] Like right from the jump.

[00:23:55] You know how we say from the jump.

[00:23:56] Yeah.

[00:23:56] But like from the jump is sort of like it.

[00:23:58] Sort of like it.

[00:23:59] I thought it was really fun from the jump.

[00:24:02] It felt wintry.

[00:24:03] It felt cold.

[00:24:03] Like it had a nice kind of wintry vibe to it.

[00:24:07] I really liked the advent calendar.

[00:24:10] It's a great advent calendar.

[00:24:11] They're switching through.

[00:24:12] So that's.

[00:24:13] It was backlit.

[00:24:14] But also in a movie that's super arbitrary about how many days it's been.

[00:24:19] Like for them to just show like one, three, seven, 14.

[00:24:22] Sure.

[00:24:22] The way they did it was wonderful.

[00:24:24] Yeah.

[00:24:24] Yeah.

[00:24:24] I really liked that.

[00:24:25] It made me realize how much, how much I like it.

[00:24:27] Cause I looked forward to, to the, every time I saw it, I was like,

[00:24:30] what day it's going to be.

[00:24:31] Yeah.

[00:24:31] Could be anything.

[00:24:32] We don't know.

[00:24:33] Really, really cool.

[00:24:36] I'm not, I haven't been following what calls, what calls the heart.

[00:24:38] So I don't, you know, this isn't a huge event for me having them back together.

[00:24:43] I obviously the chemistry is great.

[00:24:45] It was great to see them back together.

[00:24:47] I'm sure there's a big part of the viewership.

[00:24:49] That's really psyched about this kiss and this movie.

[00:24:51] I feel like it probably did not let them down.

[00:24:54] So that's a good thing.

[00:24:55] I would get, I would assume.

[00:24:57] The Christmas magic makes up for a lot of stuff.

[00:25:00] Yeah.

[00:25:00] Christmas magic's a huge set here.

[00:25:02] So it saves like a ton of things.

[00:25:04] And so it's hard to pick nitpick at little things, but the,

[00:25:07] the three Knicks fighting outside,

[00:25:10] like I don't think it should have worked for me as much as it did,

[00:25:12] but I really liked that.

[00:25:13] Those three guys together.

[00:25:14] Like it was just, they shouldn't have been on set.

[00:25:16] They shouldn't have been there, but it's just, they were,

[00:25:19] and it was great.

[00:25:20] I'm glad they were.

[00:25:20] Them fighting was awesome.

[00:25:21] It's just, I don't know.

[00:25:22] It all really, really worked.

[00:25:23] And I liked it.

[00:25:24] I liked it a good amount.

[00:25:27] Yeah.

[00:25:27] I love this movie.

[00:25:28] I thought this movie was so much fun.

[00:25:31] It, I think it, it delivered in just about every area that it could.

[00:25:36] It's when we found out that it was going to be Aaron Crako,

[00:25:39] Daniel Lissing,

[00:25:40] and then three other guys that she was going to be able to make eyes with.

[00:25:43] It was like, this could,

[00:25:44] there's really no way that this could be bad.

[00:25:47] And it wasn't, it was an absolute delight.

[00:25:50] I thought that the,

[00:25:51] the showcasing of the dates was just the right amount of time in this movie.

[00:25:56] Um, I thought that her and Daniel Lissing,

[00:26:01] once the, once, you know, the ice was,

[00:26:04] was thawed and they realized that they kind of liked each other.

[00:26:07] Those sparks were great.

[00:26:08] And, uh,

[00:26:09] that scene of them in the prop warehouse on that sleigh with the snow is as good

[00:26:14] as it gets.

[00:26:14] I loved it.

[00:26:15] Absolutely loved it.

[00:26:16] Uh,

[00:26:17] a dynamite kiss at the end of this movie.

[00:26:19] Um,

[00:26:20] almost like, uh,

[00:26:21] two lovebirds who haven't kissed in many years and then they get back

[00:26:25] together.

[00:26:25] Yeah.

[00:26:26] Um,

[00:26:27] you know,

[00:26:28] I think Dan,

[00:26:28] you and I would,

[00:26:29] uh,

[00:26:29] share this,

[00:26:30] uh,

[00:26:30] opinion that the only thing missing is some sort of nod to when calls the

[00:26:34] heart.

[00:26:34] I'll let you expand on that.

[00:26:35] Cause you had a great idea for it,

[00:26:37] but some sort of nod I think would have,

[00:26:40] uh,

[00:26:40] been really nice,

[00:26:41] but yeah,

[00:26:41] this movie,

[00:26:42] uh,

[00:26:42] is heartwarming.

[00:26:43] It's funny.

[00:26:44] And it checks all the boxes for me,

[00:26:46] uh,

[00:26:48] in the running for my favorite of the year.

[00:26:50] Oh,

[00:26:50] you're not making a call.

[00:26:51] Not making a call as of right now.

[00:26:52] Wow.

[00:26:53] As of right now,

[00:26:54] it's second for me.

[00:26:55] Interesting how that works.

[00:26:56] You're just going to let it,

[00:26:57] like I just said,

[00:26:58] as of right now,

[00:26:58] it's second for right now.

[00:26:59] Okay.

[00:27:00] Yeah.

[00:27:00] But in the war room,

[00:27:01] it could move to first.

[00:27:02] Anything could happen.

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

[00:27:03] What's first?

[00:27:04] Uh,

[00:27:05] five year Christmas,

[00:27:05] five year Christmas party.

[00:27:06] So I had a careful to yes,

[00:27:08] not.

[00:27:14] Hold out like Lucas,

[00:27:15] Nathan,

[00:27:16] and he would have been in there and been like neither.

[00:27:19] Or he'd have chosen one and be like,

[00:27:20] no,

[00:27:21] no,

[00:27:21] I'm sorry.

[00:27:21] It's this one.

[00:27:22] And then chose like something like that.

[00:27:24] I think would have been fun.

[00:27:24] Easy for them to do.

[00:27:25] Um,

[00:27:26] when we previewed the movie,

[00:27:27] I said,

[00:27:28] this movie had the highest floor of maybe any movie aside from three

[00:27:31] wiser men and holiday touchdown,

[00:27:35] just the premise and the actors on screen kind of makes this a six of 10 out

[00:27:39] of the gate.

[00:27:40] And I would say that they met that burden.

[00:27:44] Um,

[00:27:44] and they did so because of all the reasons we've already talked about.

[00:27:49] I don't,

[00:27:49] I don't have a lot of raves for this movie,

[00:27:51] but it's the best of the year so far,

[00:27:53] uh,

[00:27:54] for what that's worth.

[00:27:55] I think this year has been kind of a medium to down year so far.

[00:27:59] Uh,

[00:28:00] I thought that Aaron Craiko with Daniel Lissing,

[00:28:02] there's a reason we've missed that on when calls the heart.

[00:28:05] And for all of you team Nathan and team Lucas folks out there,

[00:28:09] her chemistry with him is better than both of them.

[00:28:12] Uh,

[00:28:12] and I don't think it's even particularly close.

[00:28:14] That kiss was hard.

[00:28:15] It was unbelievable.

[00:28:16] They are great together.

[00:28:18] Ayers is the best at this.

[00:28:21] He is the best.

[00:28:21] Benjamin Ayers.

[00:28:22] Benjamin Ayers is great as a leading dude,

[00:28:24] but when he gets to play a role where he can kind of wrinkle the page and

[00:28:29] do whatever he wants,

[00:28:30] no one is having more fun and giving up like a better performance than he is

[00:28:35] doing this thing.

[00:28:36] Chris Russell also has a blast.

[00:28:38] The guy that plays Nick C.

[00:28:40] I'm sure he was having fun too.

[00:28:41] What's his name?

[00:28:42] Kurt.

[00:28:43] Yeah,

[00:28:43] of course.

[00:28:43] I got it.

[00:28:44] Yeah.

[00:28:44] So yeah,

[00:28:45] like Christmas magic covers a,

[00:28:47] like a multitude of sins here.

[00:28:49] Aaron Craiko.

[00:28:50] I didn't even mention the Christmas magic of it all.

[00:28:52] Like it's Christmas magic.

[00:28:54] That's right.

[00:28:54] Like legit Christmas magic.

[00:28:56] It's,

[00:28:57] it's just one of those things where it,

[00:29:00] anytime you just are like,

[00:29:01] I don't know how this is all possible.

[00:29:02] Well,

[00:29:03] there's a note card that keeps having words that disappear and reappear.

[00:29:06] Um,

[00:29:08] and then Aaron Craiko,

[00:29:09] nobody in the business is better at like having this look on her face.

[00:29:11] Like she's very,

[00:29:12] very smitten.

[00:29:13] And she gets to have that kind of connection with four different dudes as

[00:29:18] she's trying to figure out which Nick to pick.

[00:29:20] And so,

[00:29:21] yeah,

[00:29:21] I mean,

[00:29:21] it is,

[00:29:23] it didn't like strike me like some of the great Hallmark movies do as being like an

[00:29:27] all time classic,

[00:29:27] but for this year,

[00:29:28] it's the best so far.

[00:29:29] I think the,

[00:29:30] the,

[00:29:30] the,

[00:29:31] the biggest knock on this movie is that it just doesn't take the show part of it

[00:29:37] even remotely.

[00:29:38] it doesn't.

[00:29:39] The renovating that had to be done on this house and the,

[00:29:43] you know,

[00:29:43] month of December shooting and editing that package.

[00:29:46] You would like to like,

[00:29:48] we don't care.

[00:29:49] That's the short version of that is we don't care.

[00:29:51] We don't care about the show.

[00:29:52] We don't care about the design and they know we don't care.

[00:29:56] All of us when they say you don't care for all of us,

[00:29:57] but they are 100% committed to not squandering the Craiko listing of it all.

[00:30:04] Yeah.

[00:30:05] And the,

[00:30:05] the,

[00:30:06] the fact that they have a unique premise on that side of it,

[00:30:08] but aside from the,

[00:30:11] the fact that it is unique and we get to see these two characters again,

[00:30:14] there's not a lot to pull for.

[00:30:16] And it's still somehow is the best one of the year so far in the holiday season

[00:30:19] for me.

[00:30:20] Maybe the one calls the heart.

[00:30:21] Not is just the notion that if given options,

[00:30:26] we would all choose Daniel.

[00:30:28] Listen,

[00:30:28] what's wild is,

[00:30:29] is that in the,

[00:30:30] in the universe of when calls the heart.

[00:30:32] Sure.

[00:30:32] If given options.

[00:30:34] Yeah.

[00:30:34] We would all choose Daniel listening every time.

[00:30:37] That's a great meta.

[00:30:38] And it's unbelievable because you would,

[00:30:40] I mean like the three other dudes are like in this movie.

[00:30:44] They're,

[00:30:44] they're,

[00:30:44] they're two of them are classic Hallmark.

[00:30:47] Yeah.

[00:30:48] Bros.

[00:30:48] I mean,

[00:30:48] they're,

[00:30:48] they're it.

[00:30:49] They're like who you would choose in these movies.

[00:30:51] And there's something about that Craiko listing combo.

[00:30:55] I don't know what it is.

[00:30:56] Wake me up.

[00:30:57] They get it.

[00:30:57] Bring me back to life.

[00:30:58] You know what I mean?

[00:30:58] Wake me up.

[00:30:59] It's time for all the feels is where we talk about what in this movie gave us

[00:31:02] feels,

[00:31:03] Brian.

[00:31:03] Yeah.

[00:31:04] The,

[00:31:04] the sweaters in this movie were better.

[00:31:07] Better than they needed to be.

[00:31:09] Like every scene had a,

[00:31:10] just a gorgeous knitted sweater or a cap or something that was like a

[00:31:14] knitted Christmas paraphernalia.

[00:31:16] It was really standout.

[00:31:18] Really nuts.

[00:31:19] They,

[00:31:19] they did it better than they had to.

[00:31:21] And I appreciate it.

[00:31:22] That her sister made.

[00:31:23] Yeah.

[00:31:23] Yeah.

[00:31:24] Yeah.

[00:31:25] She's so talented.

[00:31:26] So all the sweaters just on point,

[00:31:28] every scene,

[00:31:29] it was like,

[00:31:29] it was like lights in the background,

[00:31:32] except it was sweaters in the foreground.

[00:31:34] Great.

[00:31:35] It's just like lights in the background.

[00:31:37] Fair.

[00:31:37] Aside from not light sweaters.

[00:31:39] Yeah.

[00:31:39] Sweaters.

[00:31:40] You wear them.

[00:31:40] Yeah,

[00:31:41] exactly.

[00:31:41] In the front.

[00:31:42] Obviously.

[00:31:42] Same thing.

[00:31:43] So you got to speak for all of us.

[00:31:44] Yeah.

[00:31:45] Obviously that kiss at the end.

[00:31:47] Oh my gosh.

[00:31:48] Thank you right now.

[00:31:49] Fantastic.

[00:31:51] You know what worked for me was,

[00:31:53] and I didn't really see it coming,

[00:31:54] was the letter following her.

[00:31:57] Like it wasn't just the singular moment of Christmas magic.

[00:31:59] Super magic.

[00:32:00] Yes.

[00:32:00] It was this card that continues to show up with a glowing light and a

[00:32:05] ringing bell.

[00:32:07] And I really liked that.

[00:32:08] Cause I,

[00:32:09] I don't know if they,

[00:32:10] they didn't really need to do that.

[00:32:11] They didn't need to have this card that updates and kind of follows

[00:32:14] her around.

[00:32:15] Santa did it.

[00:32:16] Uh,

[00:32:16] say I'm sorry.

[00:32:17] So Santa didn't have to,

[00:32:18] Santa could have done the one and she would have probably realized,

[00:32:20] Oh man,

[00:32:21] maybe that there was something to that letter too bad.

[00:32:23] I threw it away,

[00:32:24] but they,

[00:32:24] uh,

[00:32:25] they kept it going and I actually really liked it.

[00:32:26] Yeah.

[00:32:26] And I will say this,

[00:32:27] we made this could skip ahead to the,

[00:32:29] what the hallmark segment,

[00:32:30] but like that brings in a lot of questions on Santa's powers.

[00:32:34] If he can just make a letter up here on,

[00:32:37] including on Chris's person to tell him exactly what to do in any given

[00:32:41] circumstance.

[00:32:42] Is Santa just like sitting around watching everybody buying his time,

[00:32:46] like waiting to interfere in some really intimate situations.

[00:32:50] Is that what he,

[00:32:51] is that what he,

[00:32:52] he's doing?

[00:32:53] I wish he would.

[00:32:54] Yes.

[00:32:54] Yeah.

[00:32:55] Good.

[00:32:55] Perfect.

[00:32:55] Glad we did it.

[00:32:56] Cool.

[00:32:57] Cool,

[00:32:57] cool,

[00:32:57] cool.

[00:32:57] Any feels,

[00:32:58] um,

[00:32:59] I mean the scene on the sled with the snow,

[00:33:02] pretty great kiss,

[00:33:04] pretty great.

[00:33:04] Uh,

[00:33:05] and then we didn't hear the song Santa tell me,

[00:33:07] and I don't know how many times I have to say this.

[00:33:09] You,

[00:33:10] you've kind of promised us the song Santa tell me and you didn't deliver.

[00:33:14] So there's that.

[00:33:16] First of all,

[00:33:16] how dare you?

[00:33:17] Yeah.

[00:33:17] Fair.

[00:33:18] Uh,

[00:33:18] let's take a quick break.

[00:33:19] We'll come back.

[00:33:19] We'll get to the way one,

[00:33:20] the what the hallmark here on deck,

[00:33:22] the hallmark.

[00:33:32] Welcome back everybody.

[00:33:33] It's deck,

[00:33:34] the hallmark.

[00:33:34] We're talking about Santa.

[00:33:35] Tell me the hallmark channel movie.

[00:33:38] Let's,

[00:33:38] uh,

[00:33:39] let's get to the way.

[00:33:39] What's where we talk about one,

[00:33:40] two minutes ago.

[00:33:41] Wait,

[00:33:41] what?

[00:33:42] Anything for you,

[00:33:43] Brian?

[00:33:43] A few things.

[00:33:44] Uh,

[00:33:44] they,

[00:33:45] the show bought the house,

[00:33:46] which I don't think that's how that works.

[00:33:48] I don't think shows just buy property and sit on it while they run.

[00:33:52] Save money.

[00:33:53] Yeah.

[00:33:53] Yeah.

[00:33:54] They bought,

[00:33:54] they bought the house.

[00:33:55] I don't,

[00:33:56] I don't know why they had to do that.

[00:33:57] Yeah.

[00:33:57] No kidding.

[00:33:58] At Christmas time,

[00:33:59] nonetheless,

[00:34:00] like,

[00:34:00] okay.

[00:34:00] Um,

[00:34:01] we have a lot of fun here.

[00:34:03] Deck the hallmark.

[00:34:04] We do.

[00:34:04] We have a ton of fun here on deck,

[00:34:06] the hallmark.

[00:34:06] She spilled a hot coffee on his nearly bare skin.

[00:34:11] That's right.

[00:34:11] Uh,

[00:34:13] and as somebody who has spilled hot chocolate on their nearly bare skin and

[00:34:17] suffered from,

[00:34:18] uh,

[00:34:18] the repercussions of a burn.

[00:34:20] Yeah.

[00:34:21] Third degree on your probably not third degree.

[00:34:23] I don't know what it was,

[00:34:24] but I had to keep going to the doctor and McDonald's lawsuit would beg to

[00:34:28] differ.

[00:34:28] That's right.

[00:34:29] That was right on the skin though.

[00:34:31] Yes,

[00:34:31] that was right on the skin.

[00:34:32] There was a shirt there first.

[00:34:33] There's no way it was third degree.

[00:34:34] For me though,

[00:34:35] as a,

[00:34:35] I was a kid.

[00:34:36] Oh yeah.

[00:34:37] I spilled hot chocolate all over my lap.

[00:34:38] Are you kidding me right now?

[00:34:40] Yeah.

[00:34:40] Ouch.

[00:34:40] He didn't even flinch.

[00:34:41] On my lap.

[00:34:42] Okay.

[00:34:42] I'll say,

[00:34:43] I'll say no more about it,

[00:34:44] but yeah,

[00:34:45] I don't want you to think we said too much.

[00:34:48] He didn't even flinch.

[00:34:48] You're right.

[00:34:49] Not even like an ouch.

[00:34:50] Ow.

[00:34:51] Ouchie wow.

[00:34:52] Yeah.

[00:34:52] Holy Kevin and ouchie wow.

[00:34:53] Not even an ouchie wow.

[00:34:55] Or I'm going to sue you like crazy.

[00:34:57] Could have gotten one ouchie wow.

[00:34:58] Wow.

[00:34:58] We could have at least gotten one.

[00:34:59] Yeah.

[00:35:00] Like that's a burn.

[00:35:00] Can you imagine she bumps into Chris,

[00:35:02] Chris Russell and he goes,

[00:35:04] ouchie wow.

[00:35:06] And then she gives him the sweater and we all think.

[00:35:09] Shirts coming off.

[00:35:10] Shirts coming off.

[00:35:11] Yeah.

[00:35:11] Why would you put the sweater on over a shirt that is just got piping hot coffee all over it?

[00:35:17] That's going to stain the sweater?

[00:35:19] A hundred percent.

[00:35:19] Yes.

[00:35:20] A hundred percent.

[00:35:21] And you're still wet.

[00:35:22] It doesn't do anything.

[00:35:22] And it's not like,

[00:35:23] I was like,

[00:35:23] okay,

[00:35:24] well,

[00:35:24] they're trying to keep this above board.

[00:35:25] And then the very next scene,

[00:35:27] old,

[00:35:27] old,

[00:35:28] uh,

[00:35:28] Nick number C.

[00:35:29] Nick number C.

[00:35:30] A,

[00:35:31] two,

[00:35:32] D,

[00:35:32] D,

[00:35:33] D,

[00:35:33] had his shirt off.

[00:35:35] And I was like,

[00:35:35] well,

[00:35:35] yeah,

[00:35:36] well,

[00:35:36] clearly we can.

[00:35:37] We can have the shirt off.

[00:35:39] Why didn't we?

[00:35:40] If we should.

[00:35:41] Why didn't we have the shirt off?

[00:35:43] But I,

[00:35:43] you just wouldn't like,

[00:35:44] if I have coffee all over me,

[00:35:46] I will,

[00:35:46] I don't want the thing that has coffee.

[00:35:48] Like you,

[00:35:48] you're going to switch it out.

[00:35:50] Definitely.

[00:35:50] You're not going to just put it on top.

[00:35:52] I feel like we speak for everybody when we say you're going to take the shirt off.

[00:35:55] He had like a,

[00:35:55] a cardigan on,

[00:35:57] right?

[00:35:57] He had a cardigan and then he could have just done one of these numbers or,

[00:36:01] you know,

[00:36:01] whatever,

[00:36:01] but he takes that off and we're,

[00:36:04] we're all getting geared up.

[00:36:05] We all know.

[00:36:06] We all know what's going to happen.

[00:36:08] If they had,

[00:36:09] imagine if they had,

[00:36:09] imagine if they had number one movie.

[00:36:12] Wow.

[00:36:12] It's one,

[00:36:13] it's one,

[00:36:14] it's one Chris Russell.

[00:36:15] You're an easy boy,

[00:36:16] man.

[00:36:16] I'm an easy boy,

[00:36:17] easy boy.

[00:36:18] That's right.

[00:36:18] that's how close it is though.

[00:36:20] And then listen,

[00:36:21] you got to make all the right choices.

[00:36:23] Yeah.

[00:36:23] That was a big mistake then.

[00:36:25] Big mistake.

[00:36:26] We have a lot of fun here,

[00:36:28] but you can't just have almond powder sitting out.

[00:36:31] And also you can't just grab it and not,

[00:36:33] not know.

[00:36:34] Like that's,

[00:36:35] that's not fun.

[00:36:35] Not only do the,

[00:36:37] like the,

[00:36:37] the way that she injures these three dudes becomes more like it becomes

[00:36:42] progressively less funny and more stupid.

[00:36:45] Like more like,

[00:36:46] you know,

[00:36:47] the,

[00:36:47] the champagne thing was funny.

[00:36:48] Like it was legitimately funny.

[00:36:50] By the time we get to all the powder,

[00:36:51] that was hilarious.

[00:36:52] Actually,

[00:36:52] it was,

[00:36:53] so incredibly like it was lazy.

[00:36:56] It was like less,

[00:36:57] like they put a lot of time into airs and none time into Santa city.

[00:37:02] You're right.

[00:37:02] Yeah.

[00:37:02] Right.

[00:37:03] So that's just,

[00:37:03] I mean,

[00:37:04] yeah,

[00:37:04] not fun,

[00:37:05] not fun,

[00:37:05] bad memories.

[00:37:06] Um,

[00:37:07] it's really hard to lock your keys in your car,

[00:37:09] right?

[00:37:09] Like this day and age,

[00:37:10] it's like impossible.

[00:37:11] If the car has been made in the last seven years,

[00:37:14] very difficult.

[00:37:14] That thing honks at you so long.

[00:37:16] Yeah.

[00:37:16] Like you can't do it.

[00:37:17] You know,

[00:37:17] my car won't lock if my keys are inside.

[00:37:19] It just beeps.

[00:37:21] Yes.

[00:37:21] I can't do it.

[00:37:22] So a car honk,

[00:37:23] a car honk,

[00:37:24] car honk.

[00:37:24] Yeah.

[00:37:24] Car honk.

[00:37:25] It is a car honk.

[00:37:26] It's a literal car honk.

[00:37:28] You got it.

[00:37:28] It's a good honk joke.

[00:37:29] And just,

[00:37:30] uh,

[00:37:30] the St.

[00:37:31] Nick knockout.

[00:37:32] Oh,

[00:37:32] the sound effect.

[00:37:32] There was a,

[00:37:33] at the St.

[00:37:33] Nick knockout.

[00:37:34] I thought of your,

[00:37:35] your thing.

[00:37:37] He,

[00:37:37] he knocks down a Santa,

[00:37:38] uh,

[00:37:39] St.

[00:37:39] Nick thing and it makes like a shattering noise.

[00:37:41] Like he shat,

[00:37:42] but it just kind of toppled down.

[00:37:43] So let's see that thing explode.

[00:37:45] Like it sounded like an explosion.

[00:37:46] Yeah.

[00:37:47] Well,

[00:37:47] I,

[00:37:47] I did a,

[00:37:48] I had a,

[00:37:48] a sound effect one as well when they,

[00:37:50] and this,

[00:37:50] I think it was for comedic effect,

[00:37:52] but when they throw down the inflatable,

[00:37:55] uh,

[00:37:55] candy canes,

[00:37:56] it makes like a rubber ducky sound like,

[00:37:58] yeah.

[00:37:59] Like what happened?

[00:38:00] Uh,

[00:38:01] that made me laugh.

[00:38:02] Um,

[00:38:02] you took many of mine.

[00:38:04] I'm so sorry.

[00:38:04] I will just say,

[00:38:06] and I don't really know what this is,

[00:38:08] like what to do with this,

[00:38:09] but it was so quick and I,

[00:38:11] and I don't know why they would do this so quickly.

[00:38:14] I almost wanted to,

[00:38:15] to,

[00:38:15] to land on it or go back to it.

[00:38:17] But when the bottle of the champagne spills,

[00:38:20] it's going around in circles.

[00:38:22] And for a split second,

[00:38:24] it,

[00:38:25] it makes a heart.

[00:38:26] Yeah.

[00:38:27] And it's such a little thing.

[00:38:29] That I just wish they would have like done anything,

[00:38:32] done anything with it.

[00:38:33] But,

[00:38:33] they,

[00:38:33] maybe,

[00:38:34] you know,

[00:38:34] maybe I'm reading into it.

[00:38:35] Maybe it didn't actually make a heart.

[00:38:36] Who can really say,

[00:38:37] to be honest.

[00:38:38] Um,

[00:38:39] and then last but not least,

[00:38:40] she's out to,

[00:38:42] breakfast,

[00:38:43] whatever,

[00:38:43] with her sister towards the end of the movie.

[00:38:46] And she's putting syrup on her plate.

[00:38:50] And her sister takes the syrup away from her.

[00:38:53] And let it be known,

[00:38:54] if you take syrup away from me,

[00:38:57] mid pour,

[00:38:58] I'll leave.

[00:38:59] Yeah.

[00:39:00] If you are a syrup police,

[00:39:01] nobody needs you.

[00:39:02] I don't want to be in your presence.

[00:39:04] Let me,

[00:39:05] listen,

[00:39:05] you can have your giant,

[00:39:06] massive bowl of fruit.

[00:39:09] Don't,

[00:39:09] don't take my syrup away.

[00:39:11] It's my syrup,

[00:39:13] my choice.

[00:39:13] I want to put it,

[00:39:14] I want to put it all over.

[00:39:17] And I don't want you to take it away from me.

[00:39:19] I already feel judged.

[00:39:20] When you get a bowl of fruit that big,

[00:39:22] I already feel judged.

[00:39:24] And so for you to go over and take the syrup away from me,

[00:39:27] I'm not having it.

[00:39:28] I'm walking out.

[00:39:29] I'd rather not eat at all than eating the presence of dessert.

[00:39:33] Please defund them.

[00:39:34] Dan.

[00:39:35] Yeah.

[00:39:36] It's good there.

[00:39:37] Yeah.

[00:39:38] Uh,

[00:39:39] at one point early in this movie where they're back in their,

[00:39:42] their childhood home,

[00:39:43] uh,

[00:39:45] the sister knocks on the side of a gas fireplace and it comes on.

[00:39:51] And you know what?

[00:39:52] Knocking the side of something to make it work is super cool.

[00:39:55] Most of the time.

[00:39:56] But if it has to deal with natural gas,

[00:39:59] flames,

[00:40:00] it's terrifying.

[00:40:01] It's not,

[00:40:02] it's not cool.

[00:40:03] It's not magic.

[00:40:05] It's like,

[00:40:05] Oh,

[00:40:05] I remember the gas must be stuck in the pipe somewhere.

[00:40:09] I'll knock it better.

[00:40:10] Loosen it before it explodes.

[00:40:12] That is,

[00:40:12] uh,

[00:40:13] that's just terrifying across the board.

[00:40:15] I can't tell you how much that's not the time or place to do that.

[00:40:19] You would immediately have to call someone.

[00:40:22] They would shut the gas off.

[00:40:23] They would,

[00:40:24] the house.

[00:40:24] No,

[00:40:25] you wouldn't do it.

[00:40:25] They also do.

[00:40:27] I would say like a C plus job of making this house look dilapidated and run down like random places.

[00:40:32] There's like wallpaper kind of like ripped and stuff.

[00:40:35] There's leaves in the living room.

[00:40:37] And it's,

[00:40:37] and it's like old houses.

[00:40:39] Yeah.

[00:40:39] Classic.

[00:40:40] Develop leaves.

[00:40:41] And then you go up to the attic and it is a pristine,

[00:40:45] like no problems.

[00:40:47] And B still filled with all of their childhood heirlooms and all of their childhood memories.

[00:40:54] Yeah.

[00:40:54] That house has been bought by someone else.

[00:40:57] It's been foreclosed on.

[00:40:59] They don't own it.

[00:41:00] They haven't owned it in forever.

[00:41:02] However,

[00:41:03] the attic is pristine with all of their childhood photos and memories.

[00:41:08] How?

[00:41:10] Why?

[00:41:11] What?

[00:41:12] No,

[00:41:13] that doesn't make,

[00:41:14] what did they,

[00:41:15] did they sell the house?

[00:41:16] Maybe you can't touch the attic.

[00:41:17] You can't touch the attic.

[00:41:18] You have to knock three times on the fireplace,

[00:41:21] but don't touch the attic.

[00:41:22] So help me.

[00:41:23] Uh,

[00:41:24] also,

[00:41:24] and this happens in these movies regularly,

[00:41:26] but Santa magic gets involved in the person who the Santa magic happens to immediately thinks it's not real.

[00:41:32] And I'm like,

[00:41:33] bro,

[00:41:34] you couldn't have had a clearer sign.

[00:41:35] Craiko watches words form in gold on a sheet of paper referencing a specific letter she wrote 25 years ago.

[00:41:43] And she throws it away and she's like,

[00:41:44] it's not real.

[00:41:45] It's not real.

[00:41:46] Somebody played an elaborate prank.

[00:41:47] One of those pranks where they hide the card in the AC vent,

[00:41:52] blow,

[00:41:52] blow some air through.

[00:41:54] So a bell rings.

[00:41:54] I get it.

[00:41:55] And then it lights up.

[00:41:56] Yeah.

[00:41:56] It's all.

[00:41:57] I bet even after everything that she's seen throughout this movie,

[00:42:00] if given the opportunity,

[00:42:00] she would deny Santa three times.

[00:42:02] She probably would deny at least.

[00:42:04] I don't know that guy.

[00:42:05] I don't know that British Santa.

[00:42:06] No,

[00:42:07] I don't know him.

[00:42:07] That's another one of mine.

[00:42:09] Santa's British in this movie.

[00:42:10] We don't know why.

[00:42:12] Just like,

[00:42:12] it just decided.

[00:42:13] Just picked up the accent while it was over there.

[00:42:15] It is what it is.

[00:42:16] Santa's,

[00:42:17] Santa's British.

[00:42:18] I don't know what to tell you.

[00:42:18] Uh,

[00:42:19] I've never seen someone,

[00:42:21] someone more taken aback that someone else has a master's degree than Aaron

[00:42:26] Craiko in this movie.

[00:42:27] Daniel Lissing says,

[00:42:30] I don't just direct this.

[00:42:31] I actually have a master's degree in interior design and Aaron Craiko.

[00:42:35] Like acts as though he's a Nobel peace prize winner,

[00:42:39] a poet laureate.

[00:42:40] Like,

[00:42:40] well,

[00:42:41] I think it's more about the what he has to matter because,

[00:42:43] because of how little she thinks of,

[00:42:45] but it still should come as a,

[00:42:47] a minor shock at best that a guy that directs TV shows that aren't always,

[00:42:55] don't know.

[00:42:56] Model home shows might have a background in it.

[00:42:59] Like it's a master's degree in interior design.

[00:43:02] It's not like he secretly like sent us,

[00:43:06] but we,

[00:43:06] we have master's degrees.

[00:43:08] I don't like it.

[00:43:09] What?

[00:43:09] That's right.

[00:43:10] You,

[00:43:10] I know.

[00:43:11] Right.

[00:43:11] That's right.

[00:43:12] We do.

[00:43:14] Those of you listening,

[00:43:16] we speak for everybody.

[00:43:17] Dan was speaking about all of us.

[00:43:18] That's right.

[00:43:19] He said,

[00:43:19] we,

[00:43:20] and that's,

[00:43:21] we all master's degrees.

[00:43:23] All of us.

[00:43:24] That's exactly right.

[00:43:25] All of us here.

[00:43:26] We all have degrees.

[00:43:28] That's right.

[00:43:30] Of any kind.

[00:43:31] Of any sort.

[00:43:31] Post high school degrees.

[00:43:33] For many kinds.

[00:43:35] Yeah.

[00:43:35] Of establishment.

[00:43:36] And then also,

[00:43:37] and you've said it in the hot take,

[00:43:39] but just to mention,

[00:43:40] it's this design show,

[00:43:42] special,

[00:43:43] whatever is just,

[00:43:44] could not be less important.

[00:43:46] She's never working on it.

[00:43:49] It is,

[00:43:50] it is,

[00:43:52] it doesn't matter.

[00:43:53] And I would prefer that over the Brian Harold take,

[00:43:57] which is,

[00:43:57] I need to see every single,

[00:43:59] all the contract thing that you ripped off the wall.

[00:44:02] How you got the quotes of different blood.

[00:44:03] Like I don't blueprint.

[00:44:05] This is preferred to me,

[00:44:06] but just to be clear,

[00:44:07] she's not doing this.

[00:44:09] She's hanging out with her sister.

[00:44:10] She's going on dates with a bunch of nicks.

[00:44:11] Like that's what she's doing.

[00:44:12] Yeah.

[00:44:13] Okay.

[00:44:15] It's time for what the hallmark it's where we wonder what could have been.

[00:44:19] Maybe have it,

[00:44:19] give some clarity.

[00:44:20] Yeah.

[00:44:20] Questions that we still have.

[00:44:21] What are you still wondering about?

[00:44:22] Yeah.

[00:44:22] Part of mine was what the heck happened with her parents.

[00:44:25] Like who are they running from and why do they leave all their stuff?

[00:44:27] Yeah.

[00:44:27] But the big one was,

[00:44:29] I thought for sure that her sister was going to end up with a nick or start

[00:44:33] going through the nicks.

[00:44:34] Like she was like dating the nicks.

[00:44:37] And why not?

[00:44:38] Like,

[00:44:38] why not have that,

[00:44:39] have,

[00:44:40] have her maybe have a connection with one of them and,

[00:44:43] and keep that going.

[00:44:44] I love that.

[00:44:44] That'd be kind of fun.

[00:44:46] Yeah.

[00:44:47] Um,

[00:44:47] yeah.

[00:44:47] I mean,

[00:44:48] we talked about the,

[00:44:49] the network buying the house,

[00:44:50] um,

[00:44:52] to do this show.

[00:44:53] Does this not become a,

[00:44:56] like the home base for her new show?

[00:44:58] Like what's the plan with the house?

[00:45:01] They may have mentioned,

[00:45:02] like,

[00:45:02] it's so weird that her and her sister are never,

[00:45:05] they're not sentimental about the house at all.

[00:45:07] No,

[00:45:07] but they do.

[00:45:08] They are just there.

[00:45:09] Like at the end,

[00:45:10] they're like,

[00:45:10] they're just having a conversation town.

[00:45:12] That's where they grew up.

[00:45:13] And they don't,

[00:45:14] there's no mention of them going,

[00:45:16] why don't we buy the house?

[00:45:17] Yeah.

[00:45:18] Isn't that weird?

[00:45:19] I don't,

[00:45:19] I mean,

[00:45:19] maybe she just assumes now she's,

[00:45:21] now she's going to get to do it.

[00:45:22] I don't know.

[00:45:23] Yeah.

[00:45:24] So the network doesn't just buy houses unless they have plans for it.

[00:45:29] Past just this show,

[00:45:30] right?

[00:45:30] Yeah.

[00:45:31] That's why they don't buy houses.

[00:45:32] That's why it's a huge weight.

[00:45:33] Exactly.

[00:45:33] They would have to,

[00:45:34] they'd have to have something planned.

[00:45:35] So maybe it's the home base,

[00:45:37] you know,

[00:45:37] it was the,

[00:45:37] and if,

[00:45:38] if the show did,

[00:45:39] if the special didn't end up,

[00:45:40] then they'd sell it again.

[00:45:41] Um,

[00:45:42] but if it works,

[00:45:43] maybe it's her home base for the show.

[00:45:45] I don't know.

[00:45:46] Like the home and family home,

[00:45:47] home and family home.

[00:45:48] That's exactly right.

[00:45:48] You get it.

[00:45:49] Um,

[00:45:49] my what the hallmark is purely about Daniel Lissing.

[00:45:52] Uh,

[00:45:52] welcome back to the network,

[00:45:54] Daniel Lissing,

[00:45:55] but also it's clear that he should be in these movies and we know the past with

[00:46:01] wind calls the heart and other things.

[00:46:03] Does this mean he's back?

[00:46:05] Does this mean we're going to get more Daniel Lissing?

[00:46:07] Maybe someone has that answer.

[00:46:09] Uh,

[00:46:10] it seemed like a no brainer to have a Lucas Nathan thing in this movie and they

[00:46:14] didn't do it.

[00:46:15] I would have loved to see that.

[00:46:16] I wonder if that was ever a part of it,

[00:46:17] but really just is this,

[00:46:20] did Daniel Lissing get to do this?

[00:46:21] Because Craiko was like,

[00:46:23] Hey,

[00:46:23] we need him to come do this.

[00:46:24] Or is he back in the good graces of Hallmark?

[00:46:27] I mean,

[00:46:27] Chris Russell's doing movies on other networks and stuff,

[00:46:29] and he's still there.

[00:46:30] What about Daniel Lissing?

[00:46:32] Is,

[00:46:32] is he turning it down?

[00:46:33] I'm just fascinated.

[00:46:34] Time will tell.

[00:46:35] You would think he'd be in more of these.

[00:46:36] Time will tell.

[00:46:37] Uh,

[00:46:38] just like time will tell us who this week's double decker of the week is.

[00:46:43] Nicely done.

[00:46:43] Thank you.

[00:46:44] It's time to find out who,

[00:46:45] uh,

[00:46:46] Brian has done the deep dive on.

[00:46:47] If you would like to become a double decker,

[00:46:48] you can go to brainwildjamplus.com.

[00:46:50] You can sign up for the double decker tier or higher,

[00:46:52] and Brian will tell your story,

[00:46:54] whether you want him to or not.

[00:46:56] Uh,

[00:46:56] Dan,

[00:46:56] who do we have today?

[00:46:57] We have Christina Thornton.

[00:46:59] Oh,

[00:47:00] Jack Thornton.

[00:47:00] Christina Thornton.

[00:47:01] Oh,

[00:47:01] look at that.

[00:47:02] That's nice.

[00:47:02] Yeah.

[00:47:03] Yeah.

[00:47:05] Thematic.

[00:47:05] Yes.

[00:47:06] Yes.

[00:47:07] Thornmatic.

[00:47:08] Thornmatic.

[00:47:09] That was pretty good.

[00:47:10] Uh,

[00:47:10] I did a little bit of research here on the Thornmeister.

[00:47:14] Uh,

[00:47:15] the,

[00:47:15] the,

[00:47:16] so this is a tough time of year for candy.

[00:47:17] Uh,

[00:47:18] for me,

[00:47:18] especially like eating too much.

[00:47:20] It's just everywhere.

[00:47:21] It's great for the candy industry.

[00:47:23] Yes.

[00:47:23] Just between the candy and the sweets.

[00:47:25] It's tough.

[00:47:25] It's just all over the place,

[00:47:26] especially if you're trying to be careful about it.

[00:47:28] And so Christina has come up with kind of a new program.

[00:47:30] It's not really,

[00:47:32] I wouldn't call it a weight loss program,

[00:47:33] but it's sort of something just to get you through these,

[00:47:35] these tough months where you can sign yourself up or somebody else can do it

[00:47:39] for you.

[00:47:40] Who's got your back looking out for you.

[00:47:42] Christina will coordinate that somebody coming in kind of like chipping away at

[00:47:46] the candy on your behalf in your house.

[00:47:48] And so like,

[00:47:49] you won't eat too much of it.

[00:47:50] You know,

[00:47:50] it'll kind of dwindle down faster than it normally would.

[00:47:53] Okay.

[00:47:53] Someone sneaks into your house and eats her candy.

[00:47:55] Yeah,

[00:47:55] basically.

[00:47:56] But you want to do so.

[00:47:57] Somebody,

[00:47:58] you or,

[00:47:59] you know,

[00:47:59] somebody gets it for,

[00:48:00] it's a great gift idea actually.

[00:48:02] Uh,

[00:48:02] but yeah,

[00:48:03] yeah,

[00:48:03] it'll just help you kind of chip away at it because you don't want to have.

[00:48:06] I keep saying chip away and I,

[00:48:09] no,

[00:48:09] not nothing.

[00:48:09] No,

[00:48:10] that's not leading.

[00:48:10] No,

[00:48:11] just help you work through it.

[00:48:12] And like,

[00:48:12] you know,

[00:48:13] something is going away faster than you thought it would.

[00:48:15] Like,

[00:48:16] you know,

[00:48:16] then it's good.

[00:48:17] You're not going to have as much of it,

[00:48:18] obviously.

[00:48:18] If I wanted to do this,

[00:48:19] how well,

[00:48:20] who would I contact?

[00:48:21] What's the name of the business?

[00:48:22] This is called seize candy.

[00:48:24] What?

[00:48:25] Christina Thornton started seize candy.

[00:48:27] Seize candy.

[00:48:28] Yeah.

[00:48:28] Like seize chocolate.

[00:48:30] No,

[00:48:31] no,

[00:48:31] no,

[00:48:31] no.

[00:48:31] Okay.

[00:48:31] You can't say that.

[00:48:32] Sorry.

[00:48:33] Yeah.

[00:48:34] Yeah.

[00:48:34] Seizing it.

[00:48:35] Seizure.

[00:48:37] Candy.

[00:48:38] Seizure candy.

[00:48:38] Oh,

[00:48:39] seize your candy.

[00:48:41] Yeah.

[00:48:41] Is it called seizure candy?

[00:48:43] Or is it called candy?

[00:48:44] But she will seize your candy.

[00:48:46] Ah,

[00:48:46] it's not called seizure candy.

[00:48:48] No,

[00:48:49] no,

[00:48:49] no,

[00:48:49] Why?

[00:48:51] but it's not.

[00:48:52] It does.

[00:48:53] She wasn't sure how that would play.

[00:48:55] So she called it.

[00:48:55] It has some connotation.

[00:48:57] It does sound very like aggressive.

[00:49:00] Like someone's coming in your house.

[00:49:02] Well,

[00:49:03] it's like a reclamation service.

[00:49:05] Do you leave it on your porch?

[00:49:07] No,

[00:49:07] no,

[00:49:07] no,

[00:49:09] it's a little like mission impossible.

[00:49:11] Oh,

[00:49:11] wow.

[00:49:12] Like she'll get elaborate if she has to,

[00:49:14] because some people,

[00:49:15] if you don't know about it,

[00:49:16] especially,

[00:49:17] you know,

[00:49:17] it's gotta be sneaky.

[00:49:18] She's gotta be real sneaky.

[00:49:19] Like,

[00:49:19] so,

[00:49:20] uh,

[00:49:20] a lot of it is in the darkness of night and just undercover.
