[00:06:38] Oh, my clicker? I've got a clicker. Oh, and Langley is going to do me the distinct honor of keeping score for me. Wow. Oh, no, oh, shoot. I forgot I didn't ask you to do that. Can you keep time and keep score? Okay, thank you, Langley.

[00:06:53] All right, here we go. Round one. Here we go. Here we go. What's your team name? We're going to go with the solar dendrites. I learned stellar dendrites. I learned from Marcus that that's a 12 sided snowflake. Wow. I love that. I love that.

[00:07:39] All right, stellar dendrites, kick it off, Bran. Bundle, Bramblefest edition. Round one. Here we go. Here we go. Okay, this is an act it out card, so I need a volunteer from your team to act this out. Patrick.

[00:07:52] You're going to be putting 60 seconds on the clock after I tell Patrick what it is. That's a secret. On the count of three, one, two, three, go. He's decorating. Who's guessing? Is there a timer? Langley's got the timer. Decorating the tree. Decorating for Christmas.

[00:08:22] Decorating the tree for Christmas. Christmas decorations. Thank you so much, Sam and Mason. Christmas. He's getting in a sleigh. He's in a box. Christmas present. Jack in a box. Christmas present. Patrick in a box. A Christmas stripper, Graham. Hello there. Christmas present wrapping. Unwrapping your Christmas gifts.

[00:08:56] Ten seconds. Ten. Are we sure it's not stripper, Graham? Eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Didn't get it. Well done. That was a thing of beauty. Thank you. Okay. So if you were on this side, you can answer.

[00:09:22] Does anyone think they know what the answer is? I want that math game. Did someone say Christmas stripper, Graham? No. No, but I love that for you. That would make a lot of sense. Now, would you guys, here's the thing. I have a question that's for team two.

[00:09:37] You could also do a rebuttal of this if you want. That will take more time. Are we up against it? We're up against it. So the answer is, drum roll, please. Do I go to the next slide? Yes. It's not on there. Oh! Sorry.

[00:09:55] I can see you and I can see the eye. This show prep was fantastic. Really good stuff. The answer is Christmas in Alaska. Naturally. I was getting in the box. It hasn't come out yet. What was the box? What was the weird box? That was the end part.

[00:10:18] End. Oh! Least relevant part. I'm going to go with the end. Least relevant part. Patrick, I thought you did a great job. Team number two, Bran. Do I have to pick a person or no? You can click it over. Do I have to pick a person?

[00:10:39] No, you click it over and I'll be in charge. Team number two. I'm going to have, I think Whitney, you should take care of this. Whitney, you have one minute to name four of your favorite Deck the Hallmark bits and go. Was it great or were you eight?

[00:11:00] Kick rocks. Bran's lost his Christmas spirit. That's true. It's my panda. I'm not even yet. Yes. Do we accept that? Yes. Very good job. Whatever Patrick just did is my new favorite bit. Team two, team horse gets one point. Jacks, watch your mouth. It's a family show, okay?

[00:11:35] All right, team one, you have a chance to redeem yourself. I got 12 Boss Babies and a path to the ball pit. Okay, Hig Bones, I think you need to lead the way on this one. And also this side can participate.

[00:11:51] Sing the song that reminds you the most of your fellow double deckers. You guys can all confer. You have ten seconds to confer. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Nothing sacred. One, two, three. You got it. You redeemed yourself with a point.

[00:12:41] Very good, Langley. Okay, team number two, are you ready? Also this side, cheer for your team number two. Here we go. This is another act it out. Ryan, you got it. Come on, Ryan. Go to her. It's a track, snow up his butt. Snow up his butt.

[00:13:09] Snow up his butt. A chant as old as time. It's a Lifetime movie. 60 seconds on the clock. One, two, three, go. Christmas trip with Graham. Book, yeah. Book. Write a book. Why do you keep pointing to Brian? Book reviewer. Christmas in Alaska. I'll be home for Christmas movies.

[00:13:35] Hollywood broad. On sale now with the merch table. So we got Christmas in Alaska. They did Hollywood broad. I think that fixes it. I see. Wait, Marcus, isn't that one of your favorites? It's not even out yet. I made it, but it's not out there yet.

[00:14:16] It's on IMDb. There's a poster. It's a movie you're in? Yeah. This is tough. I would have used him as a prop if I knew that. Wait, wait. Can I get a do-over? You already filmed it. The question still stands, is it one of your favorites?

[00:14:38] Lifetime, this holiday season. Okay. I'll be watching. Team number one. I'm good, I'm good. I want to see what he's going to do. Oh! Clickers! Okay. Team number one. This is easy. I feel like it's just as hard.

[00:15:04] Name four Hallmark movies that Dan has liked or not hated. 60 seconds on the clock. And go! Snow Bride, Unexpected Christmas, Ghost of Christmas Always. Three Wise Men and a Baby. Dan, can you confirm? That is correct. It does make up for Christmas in Alaska a little bit.

[00:15:26] Not a single Rosner movie. Awesome job, you guys. They did that without me. Team number two. All right, team! Now listen. You guys, you guys, here's the thing. No more questions. This side, if they don't know it, this side can help. I never remember it. Team number two.

[00:15:48] Oh, I know it, baby. I also knew your character's name yesterday, but I kept my mouth shut. Oh, Geordie. Obviously it was Geordie. The wrong Geordie. What is the name of the Lifetime movie that Patrick was in? We don't know. Geordie at Christmas time. Geordie in Alaska.

[00:16:10] No, no, no, no, no, no. This side gets to help. Does anyone over here know what it is? Vanessa? Old Flames Never Die. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Coming in clutch. Promoted. Great work. Thank you. No more questions.

[00:16:32] I feel awful that Marcus' movie didn't get any love, but yours did. It didn't come out yet. It became readily apparent where I was yesterday. Happy to be here. All right, team number one. Oh, round two. Okay, round two.

[00:16:46] So Langley, at the end of round one, what's the score? Actually, I'm just going to bring it over to you. Is that okay? Solar Dendrites with two and Horse with three. I don't agree with that. It's three to two? Yeah, I like that.

[00:17:00] It's the winner of the first round. All right, here we kick it off with round two. Okay, team one. Yeah, we got this. Okay, what is the name of Ryan and Alyssa's dog? And we want to know the story of how they adopted her.

[00:17:20] Okay, so here we go. Jessica and go. Name is Luna. And she was walking on the street. And she was walking on the street. And she was walking on the street. And she saw a dog. And she thought, oh, my God, I'm going to have to adopt her.

[00:17:36] And she thought, oh, my God, I'm going to have to adopt her. And she was walking on the street last year at BramaFest. And they pulled over and they brought her in. And they adopted her. It was all an elaborate ruse. That's wrong. It was a ruse.

[00:17:50] We've had Luna for 15 years. Hold on, Ryan. I can be more specific. Last year, Ryan said, I've got a great bit. We're going to act like we found a dog. And I was like, I don't think that's going to land, bro. But I was wrong. He crushed it.

[00:18:06] Jessica, you absolutely nailed it. I don't want to embarrass you, Alyssa. Alyssa, I want you to stand up for a second. So this is Alyssa. I am so... I just think you're such an incredible... I'm about to propose, I guess. It's getting intense. At least someone is.

[00:18:26] Am I right? No! No! No! Shoot me in the foot. Oh, no! Shoot off that cannon. Oh, my gosh. Where is it going? Oh, yeah. Hey, last year... Last year, when we were... Patrick and Alyssa and I were coming back from hot yoga. We had a great session.

[00:19:04] And... That's a phrase I'll never say again. It happened once and it was fun. And on the way home, these two big-hearted people, we found Luna on the side of the road. And I have never seen a bond like that between... She's your soul dog.

[00:19:24] And I just couldn't be happier that you've given... Both of you guys. Mostly you. Have given her... Have given her an incredible home. So big applause for Luna. Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Luna! Jessica, I love that you were like all over the place. Okay, team two. Okay!

[00:19:48] This is great. Do your best impression of everyone's faces when Brian took his shirt off last year. I just actually did it. That was perfect. When we were all on a panel and Jax definitely mentioned it more than once. I'd like to steal. Wow.

[00:20:34] Do you want to do one? Do you want to do the face? That was my reaction. I think you definitely get a point for that. Emily, you made that like a three-act play and I was here for every beat of that.

[00:20:48] Thank you so much. I practiced all evening. Oh, team... Act it out. Okay, I need to look up what this one is. Hang on one second. It's our turn, right? What this is... Oh, okay. Alright. This one's going to be fun. Marcus, I want you.

[00:21:08] Hey, Marcus can do it unless it's like an inside joke. Holly just said we should have a professional actor do it. Alright, here we go! On the count of three. This is an audition tape too right now. One, two, three, action! He's ready. Three words. First word.

[00:21:34] Short. Red. Pinch. Third word. A pinch of Christmas. Pinch of love. We did it! Pinch of love? Who did that one? Christmas strippergram. Christmas strippergram! Amazing work, Holly and Jessica. I saw you both getting it. Marcus, you clearly have done charades before.

[00:22:06] That's why they pay me the medium bucks. And does anyone know whose movie that is? Oh, wait, I thought you were in it. Was I in that? Yes. A pinch of love. You were a chef. Oh my gosh! Was the original title Appetite for Love? With Marcus Rosner?

[00:22:34] Guys, here's the thing. Nicole's filling me in. Here's what happened. Sometimes with these movies they change the title after after. Even after they've aired it. So it used to be it's Dash of Love. But now in IMDB it's reading as Pinch of Love. Are we both in that?

[00:22:58] Oh, that's Brendan Penny. Where are we going? Is he on the line? Can I get a drink on that one, please? Thank goodness Nicole was here to clear this up. Nicole dropped it. Wait, is it on your IMDB? Where did I get it from?

[00:23:19] I think it's on your IMDB as Pinch of Love. Thank you so much, Whitney. It is editing IMDB though. What's that? Who's editing? Who is editing? Former Hallmark executives. Alright, team number two. Name four times that Bran made you laugh

[00:23:42] so hard that you thought you might pee your pants. There aren't four. My favorite one is when he told actually Maren to walk the streets of Portland to find a guy. In the middle of the night. You have to pedal. You have to pedal. Oh, when the microphone

[00:24:06] hit yourself in the face. So far all three of these have been pretty tough for me. I've got a good one. Your meltdown about When Calls the Heart this season, dragging their feet. I was in the car like trying not to crash. Puke face and obviously

[00:24:24] when you took your shirt off with Tyler. New Mad 101, yep, there you go. Thank you. Do we get extra credit? Ding, ding, ding, ding. I mean, not even for the point, can we just say some more? Thank you. Alright, team one. Name four of the

[00:24:44] weirdest characters in Hallmark Channel movies. Now let me say this, you could go super specific or you can do archetype, stereotypes, whatever you want to do. The mayor in Evergreen is one, absolutely. Ezra. The luggage lady in the movie we just saw. Erica Tovele dressed as the reindeer.

[00:25:04] Santa Summit. And in the... Was there a fourth? DJ Ginger Jeff. DJ Ginger Jeff. Oh yeah, it was so great. Well done. Ding, ding, ding, ding. Put it on the board. The hat factory in Evergreen was wild. Oh, the old guy, yes, the twins. Okay, I'm gonna need...

[00:25:30] Twins for that man. That guy has lived. Brian. Your movie, right? Brian's acting something out. A pinch of evergreen. I remember that pinch of evergreen. Guys, I just want to let you know the interaction. Before team two kicks it off, the interaction that

[00:25:56] Brian and I just had when I let him know what it was and you look at me all like bright eyed and bushy tailed saying okay, what does that mean? Good luck. Change of plans. Don't make me sing. Don't make me sing. Not that type of conference, guys.

[00:26:21] Not that type of conference. Wait, he both said if Brian won't, I will. Keep your shirt on. Keep it on. Thank you. Keep your shirt on. All right, here we go. Three, two, one, action. Three words. What? What? Where? What? Who won't win. Who won't win. Tell her.

[00:26:59] You said you didn't know. Wait a minute. Brian, you didn't know what that was? Those are words. She went who won't win. I can see how that would be confusing though because maybe it's like a... She was talking about who won't win the latest show

[00:27:19] on South Carolina Public Radio. You can like, rate, review, subscribe. It's the Christmas in Alaska of NPR show. That's true. All right, let's give it... Wait, Langley, I'm sorry. Where are we at now with the points? Six to six. Let's go. I'm doing it, sorry. You're the host.

[00:27:54] Team number one, I am the host. What is the most awkward Deck the Hallmark podcast episode and why? I will defer to Laura and Vanessa for this one. None of them. We're never... This shouldn't be hard to find one. All right, in ten, nine, eight,

[00:28:27] seven, six. You got it? All right, here we go and... Hit it ladies. Got it, got it. We love you, Bran. We do. We love you very much. However... When you took your shirt off and Tyler wouldn't and then he followed up with doing a noom ad.

[00:28:47] No, that's good. That's good. Pretty awkward for all of us. It was awkward? Every Paul Green episode is just sitting there. I can tell you... Have you never had Paul on? Any time Paul Green has called in, been featured. The most awkward pre-show was Tamara Mowry-Housley. Wait, really?

[00:29:09] I don't know that story. She telling me, I'm sure you've never heard of us, blah, blah, blah. She's like, oh, I've heard of you and I was like, oh, okay and then she just point blank looked at me and was like, you've made me cry.

[00:29:19] Before the interview starts. That was tough. Sister, sister. It was a tough spot to be in. But she was a pro. Recovered nicely. Yeah, yeah. That was Tia? Tamara. Tamara. You get it. Okay, name four of the wildest things that double-deckers have done. I feel like

[00:29:47] everyone can play in this one. Well, they'll hate it. I love that you automatically went to sexy. He's like sexiest double-decker moment. Yeah, sure. Nothing. They're pretty boring. They just need to do it now though, but thank you. Alright guys, here we go and go.

[00:30:22] Okay, we've got tattoos. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yes. Oh, hick bones anytime he takes his shirt off. Yes. Absolutely. Jordan's hair at Marathon. That was amazing! Can I just say that anything that happens at Bramble Fest? Matt and Cece. Cat food and dog treats.

[00:30:55] And I do it again with Sheila hooking me up with my Ken's Country French dressing. I can do anything. I can do anything. But she's not a double-decker technically. Act it out. Alright, okay, here we go. Who wants to do this one from your team?

[00:31:11] I'll take a volunteer. Oh, okay. Aaron. Aaron. Go ahead, Vanessa. Go do it. Go, go, go. Okay, yeah. I think we might. Yeah, yeah. This is one that is going to dip off. I can't say. It's for someone special here. It's for someone very special here.

[00:31:47] Actually, Dan, I want you to do this. Jax, we're going to have to talk about our professional relationship as I get down on one knee. The Game Master has spoken. I feel genuinely embarrassed now. You'll see why it needed to be you. That's hard. Alright, okay, okay.

[00:32:31] So, you know, this is a really hard one. It's a tough one. So I think what I'm going to do is give the clue about the person who it's for. This is for my dear friend Sheila. So hopefully that'll help. That's a huge

[00:32:45] clue. Here we go. Three, two, one. Action. Okay, I will say, I will say I will say No, this was on me forever thinking that Vanessa would be a hardy. That is my bad. That is on me. But no, no, no, there is no judgment there.

[00:33:24] Good job, Dan. What was that? You guys. No one better than to rep Team Nathan, but me though. I mean, I think Right? Right, Sheila? You called it! Love you. Early adopter. You called it from the beginning. Oh, oh my goodness. Okay, hold on.

[00:33:44] Sorry, just need to look at one more. Sorry, guys. I should have been off book for this. Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. Oh, I want you to do it. I don't want you. I want you to act this out. That was funny, Brian. Alright, 3, 2, 1, action! Yeah!

[00:34:20] You're lucky ladies over there. You're both so lucky. Now you two. No, I meant that one though. Alright, oh, this is a fun one. Wow! Spy mode. Marcus is in spy mode. You guys, here's the thing. I really, and I think as most of you

[00:35:05] are, we are kind, empathetic, genuine people, but every once in a while, it's fun to get a little petty and a little bit cocky. Let's put it down. Team 1, name 4 Hallmark stars, and honestly this doesn't even have to be petty. Maybe you're like they wouldn't have fun.

[00:35:25] It would be overwhelming for them. Maybe it's in their best interest not to be invited. Name 4 Hallmark stars you would never, right? That's it, Jessica. And go! Okay, so I shouldn't reveal that last year when this answer came, when this question came up, we said Marcus Rosner, right?

[00:35:43] The views expressed by the double deckers are not necessarily representative. We have nothing. I'd love to see Candace. If you have that availability in your schedule, Alright, team number 2! We already saw it. Show the audience. Now this is why it was part of the game. Not our turn.

[00:36:30] Remember we were talking about reading comprehension? I am fired up. I think we did it. That was it. That was good. I love that. Show the audience how to have an effect... Show the audience how to have an effective and steamy kiss in a Hallmark Christmas

[00:36:54] movie. Do you guys want to give it a go? Alright, so you can pitch it for team 2. Cece and Matt, do you want to show... Is this too much? Are you... Is this uncomfortable? I don't know if you guys heard that. Cece said this is not enough.

[00:37:10] Here we go. Can we get some sexy music on? Is anyone back there? Yeah! Stretching! Oh my gosh. Here we go. Wow! Woo! Best Bramblefest ever. You guys, that was like... I would say that was steamier than any Hallmark movie I've seen. Thank you so much for that.

[00:38:11] And the Decke Award for kissing big ones goes to Maddie, Ice and Cece. That was good. Oh yeah, well I... Our side. Oh, you're right. How about they just get the points? You can get the points. Don't split them all in one place.

[00:38:33] Final bundle. So this is our final bundle. Final bundle. Oh yeah, what's the score, Langley? I'm sorry, Langley. Solar dendrites, 9. Solar dendrites, 9. Horse, 8. Cece and Matt, 1. I love it. I love it. Alright, team. This is for everything, okay? Question for you. For the final bundle,

[00:39:15] we could combine teams and we could have one epic thing or you could each do a separate one. I'm not telling you what it is yet, though. Epic. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. In the spirit of the resurrection, that's probably what we... Each group, so just one group,

[00:39:33] has one minute to come up with a final scene from a Christmas movie, okay? So you guys have... Let's put one minute on the clock, Langley, you guys, and go. Talk amongst yourselves. Okay, I'm gonna go through getting suggestions for the title

[00:39:47] of this movie. Who thinks they have a good title for this movie? Does anyone have a title? Jess, do you have a title? I'll end this. Yeah, no. Wait, we have one here? The Podcast That Saved Christmas. Oh, I love that. The Podcast That Saved Christmas.

[00:40:07] Oh, there's more? Oh, okay. Yeah, That Christmas. I really like that because you know how it's... Christmas in Greenville, Yeah, That Christmas, The Podcast That Saved Christmas. We have another one? Yeah, yeah. Alright, imagine... Imagine if you will... Okay! A pinch of Christmas...

[00:40:34] Getting some direction from the crowd? Wait, Tracy, we have one back there. Christmas Strippergram. Yeah, let's do it. Guys, guys, we have some incredible suggestions. A Pinch of Christmas in Alaska, Christmas Strippergram, Yeah, That Christmas, keep shouting them out. Yeah, That Christmas.

[00:40:54] Christmas in Greenville. Yeah, That Christmas fits our scene. Alright, so here we go team. I'm going to direct you in. I'm going to yell action. So let's have quiet on set. Okay, here we go. Rolling, speeding... No, baby, you didn't get your action yet.

[00:41:10] I'm trying to set the scene! Background, background. We're calling each other baby now? Alright. Can we cue the snow? It's just a thing we do now. Sure is, babe. Here we go. Uh... Imagine all of us around a fireplace if you could.

[00:41:32] I love it. Yeah, That Christmas. Now whenever you're ready sweetheart. Alright, speed, sound, and action! Guys, I think this was the best Christmas ever. Amen, amen. Merry Christmas.

[00:43:08] the show. I mean, you're listening to me. Hi. But here they come. I promise they're coming. Yep. Here they are. Happy day.
