The Morning Brew with Chris Bennett
Cyber Monday Brew: Hallmark Review, Disney Day Motivation & Redneck Trivia
We kick off this Cyber Monday episode with a Hallmark Christmas Movie Review from Andrea—today it’s We Met in December, a cozy missed-connection romance that delivers great chemistry and a four-cup cocoa score.
Since it’s Walt Disney Day, Motivational Monday is all about Disney wisdom. With Jineane Ford out, Show Low’s Dave Ramsey fills in and helps pick today’s quote:
“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
We break down how that one line can fuel your week—less overthinking, more taking the first step.
From there we jump into Cyber Monday Boo or Cool, running through trending deals and debating what’s worth grabbing this year.
We wrap the show with a check-in from Paul in Beaumont—fresh off a hunting weekend—and then a round of Are You Smarter Than a Redneck? featuring Disney trivia. Paul takes the win… and can now proudly announce he’s “going to Disney World!”
It’s a cozy, funny, Disney-powered Monday to get your week rolling.
If today’s episode made you smile, hit follow, share it with a friend, and drop your favorite Disney quote in a review!
From the Horn Auto Center Studios, Chris Bennett and the Morning Brew. And now it's time for Chris's wife to give us her Christmas Hallmark movie reviews. Alright, my love, what Hallmark Christmas movie from the 2025 collection are we reviewing this morning?
SPEAKER_01:We are reviewing We Met in December.
SPEAKER_00:We met in December. Hmm, here's what I think it's about. I think it's about uh two people uh that were feeling down in the dumps about uh it being December and Christmas, and they were lonely, so they went on Tinder and they found love, uh, but only for December. And when people said, Hey, when'd you meet? They say, in December. Am I right or am I wrong? You're wrong. Gosh dang it. All right, what's this one really about?
SPEAKER_01:So this is about two people that meet when their plane is diverted by a storm, and the airline puts them up at a hotel, and they just hit it off, and they stay up all night getting to know one another, and the next morning he oversleeps and he misses the flight and realizes that while they talked all night, they didn't actually exchange contact info. And so all they know is each other's first name and that they're both from Chicago. And the rest of the movie is them just missing each other as they try to use clues from their conversation to find each other. It was a really sweet movie.
SPEAKER_00:That sounds good. Um, how many uh cups of hot cocoa do you give this one out of a scale of one to five?
SPEAKER_01:I give it four cups of hot cocoa.
SPEAKER_00:Four cups of hot cocoa. And how was the uh the casting? Was the man handsome? Was he believable? Is the uh the lead? You're so worried about the casting of the man. Well, I don't know. I just remember in years past, sometimes that's uh lost you uh sometimes it ruins it for me, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but this one was great.
SPEAKER_00:Oh, this one's great.
SPEAKER_01:Great casting.
SPEAKER_00:All right. My wife says, hey, you know what? If you're looking for a good Hallmark Christmas movie, she recommends we met in December with four cups of hot cocoa. I love you, my love.
SPEAKER_01:Love you.
SPEAKER_00:All right, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
SPEAKER_01:All right, bye-bye.

SPEAKER_00:Oh, your uh your dogs left surprises around the house and not the good kind?
SPEAKER_02:Yeah, right in front of the microwave this morning.
SPEAKER_00:Gross. Do they ever leave you a surprise in your shoe? Oh no. Oh no, oh well, that's good. Because I would be totally boo, right? They would be totally left outside for life. That's right.
