Rose Walsh is a home renovator who insists on being present anytime there's a showing of one of her properties. She’s interested in a cottage in Ireland and puts in an offer to a man named Sean—though her approach is unnecessarily spicy.
When she arrives in Ireland, Sean recognizes her on the street and tries to talk to her, but she’s immediately wary—like STRANGER DANGER. She later shows up at the cottage, only to be shocked when she discovers that Sean is the same guy from the city. She declares that she’s going to flip the house, but he argues that house flipping is the worst thing to ever happen to homes. She insists, "Just show me the house."
To her dismay, the house is an absolute disaster—she’s been house-fished. Sean tells her she should have read the fine print, and she’s left feeling discouraged.
Things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that Sean essentially runs the town—he’s everything from the fire marshal to the local real estate agent. Although Rose is dead set against selling the house, the townspeople are eager for her to do so. Sean offers to help make the situation right.
As Rose works on fixing up the house, Sean spends as much time with her as possible. They go out drinking, stay up all night, and somehow manage to form fully functioning sentences—so, things are going pretty well. They eventually agree that what the house really needs, more than a functioning roof or repairs, is a Christmas tree.
Rose finally gets the house ready for a showing, and a couple expresses interest. When they ask why she’s selling, she admits, "I don’t know. Maybe I want to stay after all."
In a wild twist, a woman—who turns out to be a famous pop star who’s recently shaved her head—arrives in the town, hiding from the public eye.
Rose struggles with whether or not she should sell the house, even after receiving an offer. Sean keeps urging her to make a decision, not only because the buyers are pushing for an answer, but because he’s also super into her. During a romantic picnic, they almost kiss, but Rose says she needs more time.
On the day of the cold plunge, Rose arrives and tells Sean she’s found a home—not with the cottage, but with him. He tells her that they don’t have to stay in Ireland; he’d go anywhere with her.
They head to the water for the cold plunge, share a kiss, and run into the sea together.

[00:00:01] Oh hi, I'm Brian and I love Hallmark Christmas movies.
[00:00:05] I'm Brian, I like Hallmark Christmas movies.
[00:00:07] I'm Dan and I despise Hallmark Christmas movies.
[00:00:10] I'm Tyler Shaw and I'm okay with Hallmark Christmas movies.
[00:00:16] And this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast.
[00:00:19] Deck The Hallmark, it's his podcast.
[00:00:22] My friend's host is podcast.
[00:00:27] He loves it.
[00:00:29] We hope you like this jolly podcast.
[00:00:37] Tyler, what'd you think?
[00:00:39] What'd you think?
[00:00:40] That jingle is worth a lot of money, you guys.
[00:00:43] That is some solid, solid stuff.
[00:00:45] I know we're talking to the Canadian Christmas friends.
[00:00:48] And this is a pretty big deal for all of us.
[00:00:52] I know that you put out Christmas music every year.
[00:00:55] You do a little something-something.
[00:00:56] If you want us to be on next year's song, you can make our deal, I bet.
[00:01:01] I bet you can make it.
[00:01:02] Let's talk afterwards.
[00:01:04] You know what?
[00:01:05] Let's just take that jingle you did and make it into a full song.
[00:01:08] And we got ourselves a nice little diddle there.
[00:01:11] Man, he's so kind.
[00:01:13] You know, you hear, you know, if you've not yet gone to Spotify or wherever you listen to
[00:01:17] music and looked up Tyler Shaw and listened to his Christmas music, do that now.
[00:01:21] Come back and listen to this because it's amazing.
[00:01:23] I mean, this new one, this new rendition of Silent Night, I was telling you about it.
[00:01:27] Yeah, it is.
[00:01:28] It is.
[00:01:29] You got to listen to this.
[00:01:29] You think you've heard Silent Night every way.
[00:01:31] You can hear Silent Night and you're done with it.
[00:01:33] Nope.
[00:01:33] Oh my goodness.
[00:01:34] Yeah.
[00:01:34] I mean, what this guy's doing.
[00:01:36] And then for him to have to hear us sing, kind of brutal, but it wasn't that bad.
[00:01:41] It wasn't that bad.
[00:01:42] Let's not bury the lead.
[00:01:44] Tyler Shaw's with us today on Deck the Hallmark.
[00:01:45] He's with us.
[00:01:46] Tyler, welcome to the show.
[00:01:48] Very happy to be here, guys.
[00:01:50] Thanks for having me.
[00:01:50] Now, you have a new vinyl out.
[00:01:53] It is a red vinyl, a Tyler Shaw Christmas.
[00:01:55] That means Brian's going to buy it.
[00:01:56] That's right.
[00:01:57] I love vinyl.
[00:01:58] I love colorful vinyl.
[00:02:01] Very excited about this.
[00:02:03] Tell the people about a Tyler Shaw Christmas and how kind of this collection of songs came
[00:02:08] together because my understanding is that it's kind of come together over the past few
[00:02:11] years.
[00:02:13] Yeah.
[00:02:13] Like I've been releasing one Christmas song for the past like seven years.
[00:02:19] And then it wasn't until probably two or three years ago when we decided to just like package
[00:02:25] it all together and make an album out of it and just call it a Tyler Shaw Christmas.
[00:02:31] And this year, yeah, it's a big year.
[00:02:33] It's like finally wrapped with a bow and made into a vinyl record.
[00:02:38] So I can't even remember 12, 13 tracks on the album.
[00:02:42] Nice little thing to put on and have a little nice cup of wine and cocoa and snuggle up to
[00:02:48] your partner and have a good night.
[00:02:51] Now, the press release here says Canada's Prince of Christmas.
[00:02:55] Yeah.
[00:02:56] Did you come up with that?
[00:02:57] How much do you love hearing that?
[00:02:58] How did that come?
[00:02:59] Do you make people call you that when you walk in a room?
[00:03:01] Cause you did make us call it.
[00:03:03] Oh, you bet.
[00:03:03] You bet.
[00:03:03] Yeah.
[00:03:05] Well, how'd that come to be?
[00:03:08] I honestly have no idea.
[00:03:09] It was organic and I'm not, I'm not, I'm not joking right now.
[00:03:13] I, I think one of my team members said, you know, or saw it on online or something like
[00:03:19] that happened.
[00:03:19] I have no idea how I got that title.
[00:03:22] And then a magazine picked it up.
[00:03:23] Um, can't remember which magazine it was.
[00:03:25] I think it was vibe maybe.
[00:03:27] Um, and they put it on the front cover of their magazine with the title Prince of Christmas.
[00:03:31] So I think that made it official.
[00:03:33] And I have yet to call Buble and say, you know, the crown is, is still yours.
[00:03:38] You're just still the King, but you know, there's a, there's a Prince in town and we'll
[00:03:42] have to, I mean, have to talk about it.
[00:03:44] True Canadian fashion for him to be like, just go ahead and concede to Buble.
[00:03:48] Whereas if the American, the American would be like, I mean, I, you know, I just take
[00:03:52] it.
[00:03:52] I'm the other, I'm the second King.
[00:03:55] I mean, I think we could, we could put you two in a, um, uh, a ring, a, uh, and just kind
[00:04:00] of have you guys duke it out with Christmas songs.
[00:04:02] Oh my God.
[00:04:03] How much is that ticket?
[00:04:05] I'm here for that.
[00:04:06] That's pretty funny.
[00:04:07] That's actually really fun.
[00:04:08] And I can see it only because I'm a huge fan of Buble.
[00:04:11] I have so much respect for him.
[00:04:12] So that's the only reason why I'm like, all right.
[00:04:14] All right.
[00:04:15] I don't know, man.
[00:04:15] And fight a lot of respect.
[00:04:17] That's right.
[00:04:18] We're going to battle out of respect.
[00:04:19] Like seriously, the Tyler Shaw Christmas music, don't sleep on it guys.
[00:04:23] Like it's as good as it gets.
[00:04:25] It's fantastic.
[00:04:25] Thank you.
[00:04:26] Uh, 13 songs on the album, uh, from what Christmas means to me all the way to old
[00:04:32] Lang Syne.
[00:04:33] Do you have a favorite on the album, a version, a Christmas song that you did a version of
[00:04:38] that you're like, I really liked the way that this turned out.
[00:04:41] I actually really liked the song I released this year.
[00:04:44] What Christmas means to me.
[00:04:45] Um, I tried, I threw this on my Instagram too.
[00:04:47] I tried actually, uh, one other version, which is like more like the silent night version
[00:04:52] that's on record, but I decided against it.
[00:04:54] And then I landed on what you're hearing now, which is on the album.
[00:04:58] And, uh, I've been rehearsing all week for, for tour as well.
[00:05:02] And when that song comes on, I'm just, I get so happy.
[00:05:04] It's just very energetic and very fun to sing and dance around.
[00:05:07] And, um, that would probably be one of my favorites on the energetic side, but it's
[00:05:13] hard for me to pick because, uh, another one of my favorites is maybe this Christmas.
[00:05:18] Yeah.
[00:05:19] Um, which is a cover.
[00:05:20] Yeah.
[00:05:21] Yeah.
[00:05:21] I had a lot of fun with that one too.
[00:05:23] Sits in a really good pocket in my voice and just fun to play and fun to listen to.
[00:05:27] That one's like your easy listening, uh, wind down song wind down.
[00:05:30] Yeah.
[00:05:31] I mean, we were talking about the pocket.
[00:05:32] We were like, that's right.
[00:05:33] Yeah.
[00:05:34] That's right.
[00:05:34] And we recorded the, yeah.
[00:05:36] We said, as soon as I heard it, I was like, man, this feels like always in the pocket,
[00:05:40] but this pocket, I feel like we're in the pocket.
[00:05:41] Um, you are going on tour.
[00:05:43] Um, it looks like all, all of Canada and I, we're down here in South Carolina.
[00:05:50] What do we got to do?
[00:05:51] What do we got to do to get you down to Greenville, South Carolina?
[00:05:53] What do we got to do to make that happen?
[00:05:55] Um, man, I should just hop on a flight right now and just be there for the holidays.
[00:05:59] Let's go.
[00:06:00] I mean, it's a great city to spend the holidays in.
[00:06:02] You're not, I mean, it's a great little city.
[00:06:04] It's like a hallmark town.
[00:06:06] I, I really think Greenville, South Carolina would love you.
[00:06:09] They would.
[00:06:10] And I would love, I would love it.
[00:06:12] Yeah.
[00:06:13] We'll make it.
[00:06:14] I've never been.
[00:06:15] Wow.
[00:06:16] Yeah.
[00:06:17] Stop selling.
[00:06:18] I feel like we can make, I mean, then after the statue downtown,
[00:06:21] we've been in contact with the mayor.
[00:06:23] Do you imagine Tower of Shaw at the Peace Center?
[00:06:25] Man.
[00:06:26] Of course.
[00:06:26] Try and stop me.
[00:06:27] That'd be real nice.
[00:06:29] That'd be real nice.
[00:06:29] Uh, I have one more, uh, record related question, which is the red vinyl.
[00:06:34] Um, did you, I know it, you're not excited about the red vinyl.
[00:06:37] I am excited about the red vinyl.
[00:06:39] With that cover.
[00:06:40] Um, did you, how many, how many variations did we look through before we landed on the red
[00:06:45] vinyl?
[00:06:45] It's a very nice red vinyl.
[00:06:46] It is.
[00:06:47] It was not, it was not complicated at all.
[00:06:50] It was like, it's Christmas.
[00:06:51] We should probably not make it plain black and make it a little bit more festive and go
[00:06:56] with red.
[00:06:57] So that, that's literally how the conversation went.
[00:06:59] That is the Canadian way of saying, this is more than he's ever talked about it right
[00:07:04] now.
[00:07:04] This is right now.
[00:07:06] I could be, we could do a little, maybe like a green, green swirl in it.
[00:07:11] Like let's talk variations here.
[00:07:12] Fair.
[00:07:13] I think it was just whatever's the cheapest.
[00:07:16] Honestly, I have no idea.
[00:07:17] We didn't, I didn't go past, I didn't go past red, you know?
[00:07:20] And actually someone did ask me, why didn't you do a different color?
[00:07:23] And I said, well, if I were to do purple or, or something like it would just be weird
[00:07:28] for Christmas.
[00:07:29] So, um, this is not the first time I've been talking about the, uh, the color of the
[00:07:33] vinyl.
[00:07:34] He's just here to make people feel better.
[00:07:37] It's okay.
[00:07:38] He's the Canadian Christmas.
[00:07:39] Uh, Tyler Shaw Christmas is out right now.
[00:07:42] Um, uh, go check it out.
[00:07:43] It's fantastic.
[00:07:45] Um, we've been listening to it in the office.
[00:07:46] It's been fair.
[00:07:47] It's so very nice for the last, uh, we've been listening to your Christmas stuff for the
[00:07:49] past two seasons.
[00:07:50] That's right.
[00:07:50] It's been a staple here in the office.
[00:07:52] We love it.
[00:07:53] Um, and we're thrilled that you're joining us today to talk about, uh, we said, let's
[00:07:57] get the Canadian in here.
[00:07:58] We'll talk about the Irish movie.
[00:07:59] It'll be a lot of fun.
[00:08:00] Everybody wins here.
[00:08:01] Uh, Tyler, um, what's you, what is your history with Hallmark Christmas movies?
[00:08:04] Do you, I know you don't get the Hallmark channel up there, but there are channels
[00:08:08] that play the movies.
[00:08:09] What's your history there?
[00:08:10] That's right.
[00:08:11] Um, I, it's very new, very new for me.
[00:08:14] I've actually auditioned for a bunch of Hallmark movies.
[00:08:17] Um, I have yes.
[00:08:19] Um, but I have yet to land something and the, uh, the feedback is always like, you're too
[00:08:26] serious.
[00:08:27] Like you're too, uh, like I'm, I'm like playing the role and I think I've got it now.
[00:08:32] If I get another audition for, for next year, they, I Hallmark's cheesy, super cheesy.
[00:08:39] Yeah.
[00:08:40] So I feel like, I feel like they're going to want something a little bit more that lane.
[00:08:44] Whereas I'm, I, I'm like doing character work and I feel like I don't need to for a
[00:08:49] movie.
[00:08:50] Yeah.
[00:08:51] Well, let's why wait, let's do it right now.
[00:08:53] Give us, give us your best love declaration on tape and then we'll send it off.
[00:08:57] We'll send it on to Hallmark and we'll see what we can do.
[00:09:00] So I, I know we didn't send you any lines, but yeah.
[00:09:03] Yes.
[00:09:04] What you think Hallmark would like with a little love declaration.
[00:09:07] And then we'll say, well, well, I mean it's out of our hands, but we will send it off
[00:09:10] for you.
[00:09:11] So you got it.
[00:09:12] Okay.
[00:09:12] Here we go.
[00:09:17] Oh, Hey, hi.
[00:09:20] Didn't, are you, are you from here?
[00:09:24] No.
[00:09:25] Where are you from?
[00:09:26] Oh my gosh.
[00:09:27] I grew up there.
[00:09:28] Yeah.
[00:09:30] No, I don't live here either.
[00:09:31] I actually live out of town, but.
[00:09:35] Can I get your number?
[00:09:37] Wow.
[00:09:38] All right.
[00:09:39] I like to talk to you later.
[00:09:42] Wow.
[00:09:42] I mean, that's pretty good.
[00:09:44] That's pretty good.
[00:09:45] Pretty impressive.
[00:09:46] Tyler Shaw, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:09:48] Unbelievable.
[00:09:49] Big slice of cheese there for you.
[00:09:50] We'll be in next year's Christmas movie.
[00:09:52] It's happening, everybody.
[00:09:53] How have you said no before?
[00:09:55] Let's, let's talk.
[00:09:57] Tis the season.
[00:09:58] So what happened?
[00:09:58] Sorry.
[00:09:59] What happened?
[00:09:59] Did you call it?
[00:10:01] Yeah.
[00:10:01] Yeah.
[00:10:02] They'll end up together.
[00:10:02] Okay.
[00:10:03] Cool.
[00:10:04] Actually, no, I'm going to wait to the wait.
[00:10:07] I have something in my notes that makes no sense at all.
[00:10:09] And I just want to ask you guys about it.
[00:10:10] I can't wait.
[00:10:10] I love when that happens.
[00:10:11] I love when that happens.
[00:10:13] Let's talk about Tis the Season to be Irish.
[00:10:17] It originally aired on Hallmark on November 10th, 2024.
[00:10:22] And in case you didn't see it, here's what happened.
[00:10:24] It went a little something like this.
[00:10:25] Rose Walsh is a home renovator who insists on being present anytime there's a showing of one of her properties.
[00:10:34] She makes a big entrance.
[00:10:35] I'm Rose Walsh.
[00:10:37] Bow to me.
[00:10:38] She's interested in a cottage in Ireland and puts an offer in to a man named Sean, though her approach is unnecessarily spicy, if you ask me.
[00:10:48] When she arrives in Ireland, Sean recognizes her on the streets and tries to talk to her, but she is immediately wary as a stranger danger.
[00:10:58] She later shows up to the cottage only to be shocked that she discovers that Sean is the same guy from the city.
[00:11:05] She declares that she's going to flip this house.
[00:11:08] And he says, over my dead body, you're going to be flipping this house.
[00:11:11] But also, maybe let's just look at the look of the house.
[00:11:14] And they go to see the house.
[00:11:17] And to her dismay, the house is an absolute disaster.
[00:11:21] She has been house fished, as she says.
[00:11:25] Sean tells her, you should have read the fine print I tried to tell you.
[00:11:29] And she's left feeling discouraged.
[00:11:31] Things take an unexpected turn when she discovers that Sean essentially runs the town.
[00:11:37] He is everything from fire marshal to local real estate agent.
[00:11:42] Although Rose is dead set against selling the house at first, the townspeople are eager for her to do it because they want the house back.
[00:11:52] This is our baby.
[00:11:53] We don't want it to flip and kind of change the way that the town has been.
[00:11:57] Sean offers to help make the situation right.
[00:11:59] As Rose works on fixing the house, Sean spends as much time with her as possible.
[00:12:05] They go out drinking.
[00:12:07] They stay up all night and somehow manage to form fully functioning sentences.
[00:12:11] Things are going well for them.
[00:12:13] They eventually agree that what the house really needs more than a functioning roof or real repairs is a Christmas tree.
[00:12:22] And to be honest with you, once they get the Christmas tree, the rest of the house is done.
[00:12:27] So they're able to get it to showings and a couple shows up and they express interest in this house.
[00:12:33] When they ask why she's selling, she admits, I don't know, maybe she wants to stay after all.
[00:12:41] In a wild twist, a woman who turns out to be a famous pop star who's recently cut her hair and is staying in this town.
[00:12:50] Just broke up with a football player?
[00:12:52] Just broke up with a football player.
[00:12:55] She confides in her and tells her who she is.
[00:12:57] And I thought that was actually going to be a much bigger part of the story.
[00:13:00] So that's why I included it.
[00:13:00] But who can say?
[00:13:01] Rose struggles with whether or not she should sell the house to this couple once she finds out that they're going to flip it.
[00:13:11] Sean keeps urging her to make a decision, not only because the buyers are pushing for an answer, but because he's also super into her.
[00:13:17] During a romantic picnic, they almost kiss, but Rose says she needs more time to figure out what she's going to do.
[00:13:23] On the day of the big cold plunge, you know the one, Rose arrives and tells Sean that she's found a home, not with the cottage, but with him.
[00:13:32] He tells her that they don't even have to stay in Ireland.
[00:13:35] Honestly, I can go anywhere with you.
[00:13:37] They head to the water for the cold plunge.
[00:13:40] They share a kiss and they run into the water together and die.
[00:13:44] I don't know about that last part.
[00:13:45] And that, my friends, was tis the season to be Irish.
[00:13:50] We did it.
[00:13:52] Let's do this.
[00:13:53] Let's take a quick break.
[00:13:54] We'll come back and we will break this movie down with Tyler Shaw.
[00:13:58] He's the Canadian Christmas.
[00:13:59] Unbelievable.
[00:14:00] Of all the great white north.
[00:14:01] It's crazy.
[00:14:02] I know.
[00:14:02] Here on.
[00:14:03] Take the homework.
[00:14:04] Mark, your chair.
[00:14:14] This thing is up and down.
[00:14:16] What do you mean it's up and down?
[00:14:17] I'm on like a broken escalator elevator, I guess.
[00:14:20] What's wrong with it?
[00:14:21] Broken escalator still stairs.
[00:14:23] You're fine there.
[00:14:24] Yeah, yeah.
[00:14:24] You do seem small to that.
[00:14:25] I'm down way low now.
[00:14:27] Very small.
[00:14:27] I can't even reach this microphone.
[00:14:29] We're back.
[00:14:29] Tyler Shaw is with us.
[00:14:30] Dan's such a prankster.
[00:14:31] It's time to break down tis the season to be Irish.
[00:14:34] It's going to happen all the time now.
[00:14:36] Oh no.
[00:14:37] Let's do this.
[00:14:37] Let's start with a hot take.
[00:14:39] Tyler, since you're newer to the network, I'm going to let Brian show you how it's done.
[00:14:43] I'm going to let Brian give the first hot take and kind of showcase how you do this.
[00:14:49] Yeah.
[00:14:50] This is how it's done.
[00:14:50] And then we'll throw it to you.
[00:14:51] Brian, what did you think about this movie?
[00:14:53] Oh, this was okay for me, Brent.
[00:14:55] Just okay, unfortunately.
[00:14:56] That means it's terrible.
[00:14:57] I feel like the movie was competently made, written, some nice scenery there, but just
[00:15:05] like I was kind of bored a little bit, but we've been bored as they say.
[00:15:08] We've been bored.
[00:15:09] We've been bored.
[00:15:10] We've been bored.
[00:15:10] Pine of Guinness and Slab of Boredom.
[00:15:12] The thing that was interesting to me was not the main storyline.
[00:15:16] It was the recently widowed woman coming to her late husband's small Irish town to spread
[00:15:23] his ashes and honor his life, meeting new people.
[00:15:26] Like that whole part of it, I thought was actually, should have been the main story.
[00:15:29] I thought that was great.
[00:15:30] Christmas time.
[00:15:31] She meets all these new friends, her family eventually, her kids eventually show up to
[00:15:36] join her to spread the ashes, which was a wait, what?
[00:15:39] That I can't wait to get to.
[00:15:41] But yeah, I don't know.
[00:15:42] The whole time I'm just like, let's get back to this lady and like what she's, she's
[00:15:45] like having a second part of her life here.
[00:15:48] That's just starting out.
[00:15:48] It's kind of sad for the holidays.
[00:15:50] So I guess maybe that's a reason we didn't get it as the main story, but I feel like
[00:15:54] we could have figured that out.
[00:15:55] So yeah, just not, not a favorite for me for the year.
[00:15:57] Unfortunately, uh, for the record, I do want to say, I think I'm leaning anti preservation
[00:16:02] after this one.
[00:16:03] Yeah.
[00:16:04] Wow.
[00:16:04] I think that's preserving.
[00:16:07] I think I'm more anti preservation pro after this one.
[00:16:12] Yeah.
[00:16:13] Yeah.
[00:16:13] All right.
[00:16:13] So Tyler, that's not how it's done.
[00:16:16] What did you think of tis the season to be Irish?
[00:16:20] Um, it was, I'm kind of agree with Brian.
[00:16:23] He was okay.
[00:16:24] Um, you know, you don't watch, you don't watch Hallmark movies to get, to get like really
[00:16:30] into the nitty gritty, right?
[00:16:32] You watch it for the romance and for the cheesiness, right?
[00:16:35] That's what you watch a Hallmark movie for.
[00:16:38] That's right.
[00:16:39] So I agree with you, Brian, that story could be a brilliant spinoff, but not in a Hallmark
[00:16:44] fashion.
[00:16:45] I think it could be a lot more interesting, a lot more dark, even who knows, but, um,
[00:16:50] no, starting right off the top, you know, with her entrance at the, at the showing that
[00:16:55] she did with her friend there.
[00:16:56] And then really things just sped up and she, you know, I'm going to Ireland.
[00:17:02] That was way too fast for me.
[00:17:04] Um, that was a really aggressive approach on going to a different country, buying real
[00:17:08] estate, going to flip that.
[00:17:09] Um, but maybe it happens.
[00:17:11] I don't know.
[00:17:12] Um, not with our kind of money.
[00:17:14] Uh, maybe.
[00:17:15] Maybe with her kind of money.
[00:17:16] But on our side,
[00:17:17] it's down, man.
[00:17:18] I don't know what you're talking about.
[00:17:19] You can't just, yeah, you can't just do that.
[00:17:22] Um, but yeah, the, uh, the whole interaction with Sean right off the top, like him seeing
[00:17:26] on the street, of course, like it's all predictable, this stuff.
[00:17:29] It's just, you could probably within the first five, 10 minutes, you can kind of already
[00:17:33] lay out the land of what's going to happen in the movie.
[00:17:36] Um, at least the ending of it.
[00:17:38] Um, but yeah, it was, uh, it was okay.
[00:17:41] You know, I, I appreciated some moments of romance and love and affection.
[00:17:46] Um, but it, uh, you know, I fell asleep halfway through.
[00:17:51] I had to rewind it and rewatch it a little bit more.
[00:17:54] That'll happen.
[00:17:55] Yeah.
[00:17:55] Welcome.
[00:17:56] Welcome to the show.
[00:17:57] It's a classic Canadian thumbs down situation.
[00:18:01] Yeah.
[00:18:01] That was, uh, that's what that was.
[00:18:03] Um, I agree with all that's been said.
[00:18:06] It was, um, a snoozer.
[00:18:09] Um, and I, uh, I hate to say it not, and listen, you can have a snoozer at Christmas time
[00:18:15] and save it with a lot of Christmas and the Christmas.
[00:18:18] And this was also underwhelming.
[00:18:19] So, um, overall a bit of a bad time.
[00:18:23] I will say this shout out to lamb chop.
[00:18:25] And a wonderful, a wonderful addition to this movie is a sheep named lamb chop.
[00:18:31] And I had a thought, I had a thought, what if, uh, what if lamb chop had a lamp shop and
[00:18:37] it was late, lamb chops, lamb chop.
[00:18:39] That's right.
[00:18:40] And I don't really know what to do with that aside from put it out into the universe.
[00:18:44] Let's keep just trying new things because I think that there could be something about
[00:18:48] a sheep named lamb chop who has a lamp shop.
[00:18:51] And again, just do with that what you will.
[00:18:54] Um, so that's how good this movie was.
[00:18:57] Cause I went on a whole, uh, side, side bar.
[00:19:01] Lamb chop's lamb chop.
[00:19:02] Imagining, I wonder what it would be like if lamb chop.
[00:19:04] You bought that domain, right?
[00:19:05] It is owned.
[00:19:06] Don't try to snag it.
[00:19:08] Don't try to snag it everybody.
[00:19:10] It's mine.
[00:19:12] Uh, Dan, what do you think about this season to be Irish?
[00:19:14] I'm starting to think that like Hallmark is out for Ireland.
[00:19:18] Like they're trying to make it look like the worst place on the, like, because Ireland
[00:19:23] Ireland movies are bad.
[00:19:24] It's unequivocally beautiful.
[00:19:26] And the movies we get in Ireland are typically just terrible.
[00:19:32] And this may be the worst of them.
[00:19:34] Uh, it is like our guests fell asleep.
[00:19:38] I don't know if you heard that.
[00:19:39] Like, like if I didn't have to do this for a job, this was brutal guys.
[00:19:45] I mean the design, the designer buying a house side unseen one, if you flip houses for a living,
[00:19:54] never would never leaving at a moment's notice.
[00:19:58] No way.
[00:19:59] Everything that happens after that, save for lamb chop and his terrible lamb shop is, is just nonsensical.
[00:20:08] It is brutal.
[00:20:10] We don't care.
[00:20:11] The scenes that like the sweeping camera shots of Ireland still are great, but I'm starting to wonder like this can't be good for Ireland's tourism.
[00:20:21] Like I like every time I see a movie set in Ireland, it's bad.
[00:20:26] It's bad movie.
[00:20:27] And this movie, you know, I, but Brian, if Brian's like this one really didn't work for me, that is devastating.
[00:20:35] Tyler, you ever been to Ireland?
[00:20:38] No, I haven't.
[00:20:39] Do you want to go now?
[00:20:41] Well, I've always wanted to go because of the whiskey, but I've never wanted to go because of the lamb chop.
[00:20:47] What I just watched.
[00:20:48] Yeah.
[00:20:50] My, my, I don't know if we're going to get into this, but you know, I, I have a few Irish friends.
[00:20:55] Are those accents to you guys?
[00:20:58] Are those real?
[00:21:00] I, I gotta be honest.
[00:21:01] I, I thought the leading guy's accent did not sound authentic.
[00:21:06] And then I looked him up and his name was like Ian, but spelled the Irish way, like Yohan.
[00:21:12] And I was like, he is from there.
[00:21:14] He is.
[00:21:14] But I read like, he's done a lot of stuff in America and North America.
[00:21:17] It's rubbed off.
[00:21:18] And so maybe he's like spent most of his life in Canada and the Irish is not what you would think.
[00:21:25] Uh, yes.
[00:21:25] The accents were a little whack-a-mole.
[00:21:27] They were a little all over the place for me.
[00:21:29] Yeah.
[00:21:29] I agree.
[00:21:31] Yeah.
[00:21:31] Um, let's get to the feels.
[00:21:32] Uh, what gave us Christmas feels or, uh, you know, future entrepreneurial venture feels,
[00:21:39] whatever it is.
[00:21:40] Uh, Brian, what gave you feels?
[00:21:42] Yeah.
[00:21:43] The, when she arrived at the hotel and she got an advent calendar as a welcome gift, I thought
[00:21:48] what a great gift as a, uh, for a hotel to give, because if you're there multiple days,
[00:21:53] it's a great way to find things going on in the city or town that you're in.
[00:21:57] And it's a cool, memorable thing for that hotel.
[00:21:59] So really, really great.
[00:22:01] Um, I thought that was a really good moment.
[00:22:03] And also a gift I would give people upon checking in a lamp, Tyler Shaw's vinyl.
[00:22:07] Tyler.
[00:22:07] Yeah.
[00:22:08] The red vinyl Christmas.
[00:22:09] Yeah, of course.
[00:22:10] Obviously it should be in the bedroom on a record player playing as they walk in.
[00:22:15] Yes.
[00:22:15] It would be perfect.
[00:22:16] Cause we'd have that playing, you know, obviously in the, in the lobby of the hotel.
[00:22:19] And so people are like, what is this music?
[00:22:20] It's like, well, I've got news for you.
[00:22:21] You checking in here.
[00:22:23] There's a vinyl.
[00:22:23] Come on.
[00:22:24] I mean, when, when?
[00:22:25] Yeah.
[00:22:25] Oh, and you can buy the, you guys.
[00:22:27] It's here.
[00:22:29] Yeah.
[00:22:29] And as, as good as we are as this, the lamp shop is gonna succeed.
[00:22:32] I mean, it is, it is, it is for sure.
[00:22:36] Uh, Tyler, anything in this movie give you feels aside from a sleepy, sleepy times?
[00:22:41] Sleepy times.
[00:22:42] There was a couple of things like the wishing tree part.
[00:22:45] It was kind of, you know, sentimental, which, which a lot, I'm sure a lot of people can relate
[00:22:49] to family members and all that.
[00:22:51] Um, but you know, I'm a, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart.
[00:22:54] So, uh, two things that, that caught my heart, I guess.
[00:22:58] Um, when Sean just went for a walk to say hi to Rose, he didn't drive and he didn't, he just was going for a walk and decided to pop in.
[00:23:07] And I thought that was pretty nice of him to do.
[00:23:09] Um, and then right at the end, obviously when Rose is saying that she found a home in, in Sean, that was like, Oh, that's pretty sweet.
[00:23:18] So those two things touched my heart a little bit.
[00:23:22] If I'm Sean though, I'm being like, so are you, so are you selling?
[00:23:25] So are you selling this thing?
[00:23:27] If I'm, I don't know.
[00:23:28] I didn't agree to that.
[00:23:29] Um, yeah.
[00:23:30] So obviously the sheep and I don't mean to keep harping on lamb shop, but the star star of the movie.
[00:23:36] And I think we all agree, uh, is this, is a sheep.
[00:23:39] It's a, it's a fantastic, uh, fantastic sheep.
[00:23:42] Um, and then also, uh, the cold plunge at the end, something I found out in this movie is there are fun fact is apparently there are cold plunge, uh, uh, specific jackets.
[00:23:56] Did you notice that one jacket that lady was wearing?
[00:23:58] It was like, it had a brand on it.
[00:24:00] And I looked up the brand and it's for getting your body ready for cold plunge.
[00:24:04] Wow.
[00:24:05] So she's super prepared for that.
[00:24:08] And, um, you know, you learn something new every day.
[00:24:10] Pro's pro pro pro pro pro pro pro pro pro when it comes to the cold plunge.
[00:24:14] If we had a hotel gift feels a sheep feels and, and, uh, and walk Jack like a cold plunge jacket.
[00:24:22] I think, you know, that I searched my heart and found nothing.
[00:24:25] Yeah, absolutely.
[00:24:27] Yeah.
[00:24:28] Dry rope, dry ropes to company.
[00:24:29] Thanks Aaron for looking that up.
[00:24:30] Dry rope, the world's most versatile change poncho.
[00:24:34] Look at all these people getting ready to go out there.
[00:24:37] What are we doing?
[00:24:38] They're not a sponsor.
[00:24:40] They're not a sponsor.
[00:24:40] I'm not trying to.
[00:24:41] So that's dry rope.com.
[00:24:43] I can't tell you.
[00:24:44] Go deck and check out.
[00:24:45] I can't tell you anything about this company.
[00:24:47] Tyler Shaw's music.
[00:24:48] Look at all these people taking their jackets off.
[00:24:51] That was a really intense video that they had on their website.
[00:24:53] Aaron put it up on the screen.
[00:24:54] It's just a picture of a bunch of torsos de-roping.
[00:24:57] Thanks Aaron.
[00:24:58] Not appropriate Aaron.
[00:24:59] It's 2-3 in the afternoon and get your crap together.
[00:25:01] That's right.
[00:25:02] That's definitely an after dark situation.
[00:25:05] That's nice.
[00:25:06] Oh boy.
[00:25:07] Let's chill.
[00:25:08] Let's chill.
[00:25:09] Let's chill.
[00:25:10] Let's chill.
[00:25:11] Oh my God.
[00:25:12] My goodness.
[00:25:12] We're on T on that before they do.
[00:25:14] Yeah.
[00:25:14] Let's all take a break.
[00:25:16] Let's all go during this break and buy a dry rope and Tyler Shaw's vinyl and then we'll
[00:25:21] come back and we'll get to the way we want.
[00:25:23] We'll recreate the commercial.
[00:25:24] That's right.
[00:25:25] All of us will be de-roping on the other side of the break.
[00:25:27] File it out to your essential DTH.
[00:25:28] We'll be back here on Tech the Hallmark.
[00:25:40] Oh hey all you sick perverts that came back with the de-robing.
[00:25:43] You tried to use promo code DEC on that website you freaks.
[00:25:46] It's not that kind of show today.
[00:25:48] We got the Canadian Christmas Prince song.
[00:25:50] You wouldn't have signed up for that.
[00:25:52] Hey Brandon, do you know what this movie was good for aside from nothing?
[00:25:56] It was the...
[00:25:59] Are we talking about this game?
[00:26:00] The Christmas of the Magic?
[00:26:01] Oh you're right.
[00:26:01] I will say Aaron, you were watching this movie and you were bored out of your mind,
[00:26:05] but you were playing Christmas movie magic and it kind of kept you engaged.
[00:26:11] Yeah, yeah.
[00:26:11] I'm sorry I had you muted.
[00:26:12] I couldn't even...
[00:26:13] Go ahead.
[00:26:14] Yeah, no we started watching this movie in the office this morning and I was about to
[00:26:19] leave.
[00:26:19] I was like, I love Ireland.
[00:26:21] You were offended.
[00:26:22] This movie is ruining Ireland for me.
[00:26:25] Leprechauns not offensive to my heritage.
[00:26:27] This movie is offensive to my heritage.
[00:26:28] That's a lot of the urge.
[00:26:30] But then we started seeing more and more of those cards from Christmas movie magic and
[00:26:33] I...
[00:26:34] Brian had already seen it and told me, hey, those tricky cards, Advent calendar and Nativity.
[00:26:41] We got to send you one of these, Tyler.
[00:26:42] It's our card game that we put out.
[00:26:44] So I started playing and I became locked in.
[00:26:45] Amazing.
[00:26:45] We put this card game out with Fink and Fink games.
[00:26:47] It's a fun game to play, a card game to play while you're watching these movies.
[00:26:50] And even if they're kind of a little bit of a snooze fest, you can play this game with
[00:26:54] your friends and family and it keeps you engaged.
[00:26:56] It's a really, really fun time.
[00:26:57] Christmas movie magic.
[00:26:58] That's a great...
[00:26:59] Love that.
[00:27:00] We should do a bundle.
[00:27:01] We should get the game and the vinyl.
[00:27:03] The vinyl.
[00:27:03] The vinyl, yeah.
[00:27:04] Have your folks at Sony...
[00:27:06] We'll come together.
[00:27:07] Yeah.
[00:27:07] It'll be really great.
[00:27:08] Don't forget the dry road.
[00:27:09] Oh, the dry road.
[00:27:10] Of course, we're not going to forget the dry road.
[00:27:13] Or the lamp.
[00:27:14] Tyler with callbacks.
[00:27:15] I love this guy.
[00:27:16] Tyler, can you be here every day?
[00:27:17] There he does.
[00:27:18] That's what I'm just going to hang out.
[00:27:20] Let's get to the wait what.
[00:27:21] Before we talk about what in this movie, we just go, wait what?
[00:27:23] So, Brian, anything stick out to you?
[00:27:24] Yeah.
[00:27:24] I don't mean to pile on.
[00:27:26] But Ireland just so green at Christmas time.
[00:27:31] So green and lush and just...
[00:27:33] Yeah.
[00:27:34] I was watching and I looked up pictures...
[00:27:35] Spring has sprung over the holidays.
[00:27:38] I was looking at pictures of Ireland at Christmas time while watching this movie.
[00:27:41] I'm like, this is not the place.
[00:27:43] No, no, no.
[00:27:43] I mean, it's the place, but it's not.
[00:27:45] It's not right.
[00:27:45] No.
[00:27:46] It wasn't right.
[00:27:48] She did all that renovation without water and heat, huh?
[00:27:51] Yeah.
[00:27:51] It's impressive.
[00:27:52] It's impressive.
[00:27:53] She's a trooper.
[00:27:54] Okay.
[00:27:55] You can't open a can of paint without needing water.
[00:27:58] Yeah.
[00:27:58] You make a mess.
[00:28:00] And paint won't dry.
[00:28:01] I don't know if you heard about this.
[00:28:02] If it's too cold, you need some temperature that's up there a little bit.
[00:28:07] It's just a weird thing to be like, I have no heat and electricity.
[00:28:10] I did all of this.
[00:28:11] No water.
[00:28:12] I did all of this.
[00:28:12] It's pristine.
[00:28:14] A bit much.
[00:28:15] They went real hard.
[00:28:16] And her friend says to her on the phone, sign the papers and move away or stay and marry him.
[00:28:23] That's it.
[00:28:24] Two options.
[00:28:24] Yeah.
[00:28:25] Just not true.
[00:28:26] Yeah.
[00:28:26] There's a few options in there.
[00:28:27] There's so many things in between us.
[00:28:30] So many.
[00:28:31] Yeah.
[00:28:31] So it was just.
[00:28:32] Like which dry robe will I purchase?
[00:28:33] That's right.
[00:28:34] Yeah.
[00:28:34] Of course.
[00:28:34] Right.
[00:28:35] At dry robe.com.
[00:28:36] Yeah.
[00:28:36] Will we go with the red vinyl or the purple vinyl?
[00:28:38] These are all choices.
[00:28:39] There's only red.
[00:28:40] Tyler Shaw said so.
[00:28:41] Yeah.
[00:28:41] But he had the choice.
[00:28:42] Yeah.
[00:28:43] There were choices.
[00:28:44] The last one.
[00:28:45] Some are saying safe choice.
[00:28:47] That's all I'm saying.
[00:28:47] Festive choice.
[00:28:48] Still a great choice.
[00:28:49] The last one was the fact that the widow, she brought her ashes to Ireland to spread and
[00:28:55] she was prepared to and hadn't had the ability to yet.
[00:28:59] She wasn't quite ready.
[00:29:00] And then her kids showed up.
[00:29:02] So what if she had done it already?
[00:29:05] And then the kids showed up like,
[00:29:06] Mom, what the heck?
[00:29:07] Yeah.
[00:29:07] We were all here for the ashes.
[00:29:08] What if she just tossed those bad boys on the first day?
[00:29:10] Yeah.
[00:29:10] Yeah.
[00:29:11] That'd have been tough.
[00:29:12] You know your mom.
[00:29:13] You know your mom's going to drag her feet on that situation.
[00:29:16] Something doesn't feel right.
[00:29:17] What is it?
[00:29:17] Oh, my kids.
[00:29:19] Yeah.
[00:29:19] That dives into the side story that gets a lot deeper.
[00:29:23] We got to find out more about her.
[00:29:24] Yeah.
[00:29:24] She didn't want the kids there.
[00:29:25] I get that vibe.
[00:29:26] Yeah.
[00:29:26] She did not want them there.
[00:29:27] This is my moment.
[00:29:28] That story belonged in this movie less than lamb chop.
[00:29:32] I like it.
[00:29:33] What about his lamb chop?
[00:29:34] What about him?
[00:29:35] Tyler, anything stick out to you in this movie as a wait what?
[00:29:38] What's going on here?
[00:29:40] Yeah.
[00:29:40] I had no idea mistletoe grew on trees.
[00:29:44] I don't know if you guys knew that or not.
[00:29:46] I didn't know that it grew on the side of it like that, like on the bark.
[00:29:49] The way that they got mistletoe was a new thing for me.
[00:29:54] I 100% was confused.
[00:29:57] Yeah.
[00:29:57] Super confused.
[00:29:58] I Googled it later.
[00:29:59] It just grows on random trees.
[00:30:03] It's not like a mistletoe tree.
[00:30:04] Like mistletoe just like attacks trees.
[00:30:07] It's a weird thing.
[00:30:08] It's a parasite.
[00:30:09] I would say it's hemiparasitic is what you were telling me earlier.
[00:30:12] I was saying it's hemiparasitic.
[00:30:13] And I would say kind of and also the act of the kiss under the mistletoe is also a
[00:30:19] bit of a hemiparasitic.
[00:30:20] A little parasitic.
[00:30:21] Like, hey, like it'll grow whether you want it to or not.
[00:30:23] This person is going to kiss you whether you want it to or not.
[00:30:25] Interesting.
[00:30:26] Maybe we shouldn't be mistletoing.
[00:30:27] Huh.
[00:30:28] Fascinating.
[00:30:28] It's a bit of a...
[00:30:29] That's a hot take right there.
[00:30:31] Look at that.
[00:30:33] The...
[00:30:33] I think you mentioned this earlier, but it was on my list of things, but the fact that
[00:30:37] they were out drinking and then they were up till the sunrise.
[00:30:41] Oh my gosh.
[00:30:42] And they were like...
[00:30:43] Like just normal.
[00:30:44] It's all good.
[00:30:45] Not tired.
[00:30:45] Not really haggard.
[00:30:46] Never again.
[00:30:47] Just like routine in the afternoon.
[00:30:49] Well, that's the thing about the Irish beer is it doesn't affect you at all.
[00:30:53] It's just like...
[00:30:54] They walk out of that bar like they've been drinking like whole milk.
[00:30:58] Like they walk out of that bar like they were just...
[00:31:01] Like it was a fine...
[00:31:02] It was just a fine evening of revelry.
[00:31:04] You know what I mean?
[00:31:04] Like you don't stay at a bar until the sun comes up.
[00:31:07] And walk out like...
[00:31:09] Pumped up.
[00:31:09] Ready to work.
[00:31:10] Yeah, everything was good.
[00:31:12] You know when you light something on fire.
[00:31:14] You light lamb chops, lamb chop on fire.
[00:31:18] That's what you do after that.
[00:31:20] Yes.
[00:31:21] Speaking of on fire, towards the end there, there was a candle in the window.
[00:31:25] Yes.
[00:31:26] Right.
[00:31:26] And the curtains were like literally right beside.
[00:31:29] Oh no.
[00:31:30] So like that's for sure gonna catch fire.
[00:31:34] 100%.
[00:31:34] That's the...
[00:31:35] Was she trying to burn the house down?
[00:31:36] Maybe.
[00:31:37] Maybe it was a...
[00:31:37] Probably.
[00:31:38] Yeah.
[00:31:38] Maybe it was a fake candle that they bought at Lamb Chop's Lamp Shop.
[00:31:42] You sell candles now too.
[00:31:43] He sells them all.
[00:31:44] Wow.
[00:31:45] That's a lamp and a candle.
[00:31:46] Lighting and everything.
[00:31:47] Yeah, any type of light.
[00:31:48] Any type of light.
[00:31:49] It's like a lamp emporium.
[00:31:50] It's like a lamp emporium.
[00:31:51] You would call it a lamp shop though.
[00:31:52] It doesn't work.
[00:31:53] Yeah.
[00:31:55] It's stupid.
[00:31:55] Sorry guys.
[00:31:56] Sorry.
[00:31:57] It was sorry.
[00:31:58] It was the window emporium.
[00:32:00] Anything else Tyler?
[00:32:01] With the desk.
[00:32:02] Right.
[00:32:03] The renovations for me just went by too fast.
[00:32:05] I think she was on day 16.
[00:32:07] So just over two weeks and she completely finished everything.
[00:32:11] So...
[00:32:11] And we only really see her do like the paint samples and put up a tree and then it's like
[00:32:17] it's ready.
[00:32:17] Let's show some folks.
[00:32:19] Yeah.
[00:32:19] That's it.
[00:32:20] That's it.
[00:32:20] Yeah.
[00:32:22] She must be.
[00:32:23] I'll hire her.
[00:32:24] Yeah.
[00:32:25] She's really good.
[00:32:25] She's really good.
[00:32:27] Um, I have a few.
[00:32:29] Uh, one they're making some food.
[00:32:31] I don't know who's in charge of the sound effects over at Hallmark this year, but it's
[00:32:34] getting out of hand guys.
[00:32:35] Yeah.
[00:32:36] Um, there is, they're making some food and they're stirring and I kid you not.
[00:32:40] The sound effect.
[00:32:41] I actually pulled it from the movie.
[00:32:43] Here's the sound effects live.
[00:32:44] Oh no.
[00:32:46] I hated it.
[00:32:49] Ow!
[00:32:49] Get out of here with that.
[00:32:51] One more time, Brent.
[00:32:53] Yeah, we got it.
[00:32:54] We got it.
[00:32:54] We got it.
[00:32:55] I didn't like it.
[00:32:56] I know.
[00:32:57] I know.
[00:32:57] I don't usually pull clips because I don't want to get pulled, but that was necessary.
[00:33:01] That's actually you taking your dry rope off.
[00:33:06] How'd you know?
[00:33:07] You know me well.
[00:33:08] You know me well.
[00:33:11] Killing it right off the...
[00:33:13] So we do see her putting the paint samples.
[00:33:18] She's like put three strips on the inside wall or whatever.
[00:33:20] She walks outside.
[00:33:22] He comes walking up.
[00:33:23] He's like, so you're working on paint, huh?
[00:33:25] Were you peeking through the window?
[00:33:27] Like she was doing that inside.
[00:33:29] I don't know how he knew.
[00:33:30] I don't know if he smelled the smell of paint.
[00:33:32] Is that the smell of cold paint in the air?
[00:33:34] Yeah.
[00:33:34] I don't know how he knew it, but it's unfortunate.
[00:33:38] And last but not least, I love this moment so much.
[00:33:40] They do the Christmas tree.
[00:33:42] They put the lights on and she's like, there's no electricity.
[00:33:45] What are we going to do?
[00:33:47] And he's like, whoop-a!
[00:33:50] Big old portable battery that he has had in his hand for who knows how long.
[00:33:55] Somehow she didn't see it.
[00:33:56] I thought we were going to get a brand name.
[00:33:58] I thought it was going to be a sponsorship deal, a dry robe if you will.
[00:34:01] Sure I will.
[00:34:01] But he had...
[00:34:02] Somehow he had it in his hand and she didn't know.
[00:34:06] Or it was just like a wonderful...
[00:34:08] How are you to light a Christmas tree with no electricity?
[00:34:12] So glad you asked, Rose.
[00:34:14] Whip-a!
[00:34:15] It was wonderful.
[00:34:16] I loved it.
[00:34:17] Dana?
[00:34:17] Yeah, this guy is Norman Bates.
[00:34:20] That's enough.
[00:34:21] This guy is Norman Bates.
[00:34:23] He belongs in a horror movie.
[00:34:25] He has lured a woman to town under the false pretense of lodging.
[00:34:32] He then has to stay at the hotel.
[00:34:34] He has a weird relationship with his mother.
[00:34:36] He brings battery generators to renovations.
[00:34:40] He does that weird counter-clockwise thing.
[00:34:43] Or clockwise thing.
[00:34:44] He's terrifying.
[00:34:46] Just in general, this lead is terrifying and should be looked into for criminal activity.
[00:34:53] Let's talk about the renovation briefly, shall we?
[00:34:56] I'm not someone that renovates homes, but I'm pretty sure she's going out of order.
[00:35:02] Like, if the roof is broken on your house, you don't repaint it.
[00:35:09] Like, you have to...
[00:35:10] On the inside.
[00:35:11] Yeah.
[00:35:11] Because the roof is broken.
[00:35:14] Yeah.
[00:35:14] You're going to have problems when the weather gets bad.
[00:35:17] And I don't know if you know about Ireland, but occasionally...
[00:35:19] Yeah, a little misty.
[00:35:20] You might get a little rain in Ireland.
[00:35:22] Especially next to the ocean.
[00:35:23] Like, the paint is like the last thing you would do.
[00:35:26] Like, she is in this crap hole and she's like, I'm going to put a fresh coat of paint on this bad boy.
[00:35:30] You got to like check for like all this damage she talks about in this movie.
[00:35:35] Like water damage, mold damage.
[00:35:37] You have to fix all of that before you can just slap a coat of paint on this thing.
[00:35:42] But it seems like she's like, well, let's dive right in with the aesthetics.
[00:35:46] Let's make it look good.
[00:35:47] It'll still be a crap hole, but then it'll look good.
[00:35:50] You...
[00:35:50] Listen, you can't go from I got house fish to perfectly renovated house in 14 days.
[00:35:57] By yourself.
[00:35:58] No.
[00:35:59] Then you didn't get house fish.
[00:36:00] You did great.
[00:36:00] Yeah.
[00:36:01] Great deal, honestly.
[00:36:02] Yeah.
[00:36:03] And also she...
[00:36:05] No.
[00:36:05] Sorry.
[00:36:05] Let's not.
[00:36:06] She's selling the house for what she paid for it.
[00:36:11] Yeah.
[00:36:12] Which means she's taking a bath on this thing.
[00:36:13] She's taking a bath.
[00:36:14] Like an absolute bath.
[00:36:16] She bought it for 20,000 euro.
[00:36:18] She's put Lord knows how many euro into it.
[00:36:21] I don't know what a euro is.
[00:36:22] She put like so much into it.
[00:36:24] And then she's going to sell it for 20,000 euro.
[00:36:26] And then she has the audacity to get angry that they're going to flip it.
[00:36:30] Of course you are, lady.
[00:36:32] You did all the work.
[00:36:33] Yeah.
[00:36:34] You did all the flipping aside from the flipping.
[00:36:36] Like you didn't make any money off of it.
[00:36:39] You're a professional house flipper.
[00:36:41] You'd think that you wouldn't sell it.
[00:36:43] Like you wouldn't lose money on it.
[00:36:45] But...
[00:36:45] Brian, did you say that 20,000 euros is $3?
[00:36:48] Is that what you just tried to push?
[00:36:49] Oh, then I'm buying a house.
[00:36:51] Something around that.
[00:36:52] Yeah.
[00:36:52] It's around there.
[00:36:53] Yeah.
[00:36:54] We did talk about leaving the bar fully sober minded.
[00:36:57] And they say the sun is about to come up.
[00:36:59] It's pitch black, dark outside, whatever.
[00:37:01] But then they walk to her home.
[00:37:03] And by that point, the sun is like blaring.
[00:37:06] It's not coming up over the...
[00:37:08] It's nine or 10 in the morning.
[00:37:10] Like what kind of walk are we talking about here?
[00:37:13] It's like a five hour walk to get over there.
[00:37:15] I'm, you know.
[00:37:16] And then, guys, we see a lot on the Hallmark channel.
[00:37:21] And they've fixed one of their big problems from the last decade, which is the empty mug.
[00:37:27] There's still a lot of empty mugs on Hallmark.
[00:37:29] But when you're using an empty mug, it's really important you hold it up here.
[00:37:33] Because if you're watching on Philo.
[00:37:35] Because now, unless you see me just flinging it all around, you don't know that it's empty.
[00:37:40] Right.
[00:37:40] If you have an empty mug and you hold it like this, everyone's going to know it's empty.
[00:37:45] And in this movie, our leading guy holds a mug at a 45 degree angle where you just get to see that there's nothing in it.
[00:37:55] Like, dude, it's you can't hold it down by your waist and show everybody that the mug is empty.
[00:38:00] Like, get it up here and like try to fool somebody.
[00:38:03] Like, do the best you can.
[00:38:04] That's a pretty cool Holdin' My Cream mug.
[00:38:06] Where'd you get that?
[00:38:06] Oh, yeah.
[00:38:07] You mean deckthehomework.com slash shop?
[00:38:09] Yeah.
[00:38:09] You can get this Holdin' My Cream mug right here.
[00:38:12] There you go.
[00:38:12] And it's 16 ounces.
[00:38:14] Some of those coffee mugs are too small.
[00:38:15] It's a real nice mug.
[00:38:16] It's a 16 ounce mug.
[00:38:17] It's great.
[00:38:17] People on Firewall honestly saw you doing this.
[00:38:20] I thought there was an 85% chance there was still water in your mug.
[00:38:23] You were doing such a good...
[00:38:24] I was expecting it to get splashed.
[00:38:26] No one's gonna throw it on you?
[00:38:26] Yeah, just like that.
[00:38:27] Because it feels like a thing you would knowingly do.
[00:38:30] You have a cup full of water and you're gonna splash it all over me.
[00:38:32] I won't.
[00:38:34] Yours is full of water.
[00:38:35] I know it is.
[00:38:36] I've been drenched by you in the past.
[00:38:38] So, it's just a few...
[00:38:39] I feel like it's a thing that...
[00:38:41] I wish I didn't put the idea in your head.
[00:38:42] Can I interest you in a dry rub?
[00:38:43] It's in the title.
[00:38:45] Yeah.
[00:38:46] Let's get to what the hallmark is where we...
[00:38:48] Somehow, Tyler Shaw's on the podcast and Dry Rope has gotten more mentions than a Tyler
[00:38:52] Shaw Christmas.
[00:38:53] I'm just saying.
[00:38:54] I think it's a package deal.
[00:38:56] I think it is a package deal.
[00:38:58] It's all good.
[00:38:59] I'm gonna go get one now.
[00:39:00] It's happening.
[00:39:01] Yeah.
[00:39:01] He's also calling his agent.
[00:39:03] What happened?
[00:39:04] How did I end up on this show?
[00:39:07] Did we sign some sort of deal with Trevor?
[00:39:09] Um, let's get to what the hallmark...
[00:39:11] That's where we ask any questions that we still have that we would like answers to regarding
[00:39:15] this movie.
[00:39:16] Uh, Brian, what are you still wondering about?
[00:39:17] We did have a, uh, a Yule log carry on situation in one of the movies earlier.
[00:39:23] The big pastry that they carried on.
[00:39:25] That's right.
[00:39:25] The giant, uh, pastry.
[00:39:27] Uh, and this one, she, she had her, the urn and it was a very big urn.
[00:39:31] And I'm wondering, was this a pick that urn up in Ireland situation or did she have a nice...
[00:39:37] Would she carry the ashes on if she did that?
[00:39:39] She had an urn carry on for that bad way?
[00:39:41] Yeah.
[00:39:41] That thing was gigantic.
[00:39:43] They don't just let you carry that on.
[00:39:44] You gotta urn it.
[00:39:45] You gotta urn it.
[00:39:46] Oh, nice.
[00:39:48] Nice.
[00:39:48] That was right.
[00:39:49] Wow!
[00:39:50] That was good.
[00:39:51] Slurp that right up.
[00:39:53] You take it off that dry rope, bro?
[00:39:54] I loved that.
[00:39:55] I loved it.
[00:39:56] Oh, man.
[00:39:57] Uh, Tyler, any questions that you're still wondering about?
[00:40:00] Um, I don't know.
[00:40:01] Throughout the entire movie, like, does Sean live with his mom?
[00:40:05] Or like, where does he...
[00:40:06] He's Norman Bates from Psycho.
[00:40:08] I'm telling you, it's not, it's weird.
[00:40:10] Yeah.
[00:40:10] That is weird.
[00:40:11] But I don't know.
[00:40:12] Yeah.
[00:40:13] If he's, if he's the whole, I can't remember what the town is called.
[00:40:16] If he's that guy who runs that town.
[00:40:19] Yeah.
[00:40:20] Dunclair.
[00:40:21] Um, like, shouldn't he have like a nice castle?
[00:40:26] A place to live.
[00:40:27] Why don't we ever see that?
[00:40:29] He's always walking around.
[00:40:30] Where you're not wearing people's skin?
[00:40:32] Yeah.
[00:40:32] Yeah.
[00:40:33] Yeah.
[00:40:34] Exactly.
[00:40:35] That and, and I want to know what happens to Lamp Chop.
[00:40:38] That's...
[00:40:38] Well, Lamp Chop is my, and I'm not going to bring up the Lamp Chop, Lamp Shop, Lamp
[00:40:43] Shop idea.
[00:40:44] I can't even bring it up.
[00:40:45] I get so.
[00:40:45] Brought the tears about it.
[00:40:47] But the guy, the guy who owns Lamp Chop, what's his deal?
[00:40:52] Like, why doesn't he, he doesn't even try.
[00:40:55] Like, he leaves the door wide open for Lamp Chop, and you're asking for somebody to take
[00:41:01] him or, you know, capitalize on his Lamp abilities.
[00:41:07] I just don't know why that guy didn't even try.
[00:41:10] It seemed reckless.
[00:41:11] It's like, it's like having a, having a dog and every day you let out the front yard
[00:41:16] to go to the restroom and just be like, we'll see what happens.
[00:41:19] Let's you, I'm sure you'll be fine.
[00:41:22] Yeah.
[00:41:23] And you come knock on the door when you're back home.
[00:41:25] It just, you gotta, you gotta keep eyes on that guy.
[00:41:27] You gotta, if you realize it's getting out, you gotta fix the door.
[00:41:30] Eyes on the chop.
[00:41:31] That's exactly right.
[00:41:32] Um, so what's up with that guy is really what I'm wondering.
[00:41:35] What's up with that guy?
[00:41:35] Uh, I, I'm convinced that he doesn't actually want Lamp Chop to come home.
[00:41:39] Yeah.
[00:41:40] I think he's just been like really pushing it out.
[00:41:43] Um, hoping that it would never come back.
[00:41:45] Dan?
[00:41:45] Yeah.
[00:41:46] I just want to know what the fine print said.
[00:41:49] Dude, that's a great one.
[00:41:50] Um, in this listing at the beginning of this movie, we have a listing for a cottage in
[00:41:56] Dunclair, Ireland, and he talks to her on the phone and he goes, I would make sure
[00:42:01] you read the fine print and she's like, I'm, I, I, blah, blah, blah.
[00:42:05] I'm coming.
[00:42:06] I'm buying it to offers on the way.
[00:42:07] And we get there and she finds out the pictures aren't accurate.
[00:42:12] Uh, the place is in complete disrepair and it's a historical landmark and all the changes
[00:42:19] have to be approved by one specific person before they can be made.
[00:42:24] There's no way all of that was in the, in the fine print.
[00:42:27] And his thing is you should have read the fine print.
[00:42:29] Was that all listed in the fine print?
[00:42:33] Did it say this house sucks?
[00:42:35] This house, a picture's not indicative of house condition, house historical landmark.
[00:42:40] You can't repair it without permit.
[00:42:41] Like this, it seems above and beyond a fine print situation to me.
[00:42:46] So I would love to see the fine print to see how much, you know, leeway was given to
[00:42:51] our leading man slash murderer to just be like, Hey, you should have read the fine print.
[00:42:56] That's my, I like that.
[00:42:57] Yeah.
[00:42:58] Uh, we did it right.
[00:42:59] Congratulations to us.

[00:43:12] invite me back.
