Happy Festive Friday!  ABOUT MUSIC CITY MISTLETOE In Nashville, a spirited songwriter and a widowed consultant clash over the fate of a music publishing office. As Christmas nears, rivalry turns to romance in this conflict-filled holiday tale where saving dreams means risking hearts. AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR MUSIC CITY MISTLETOE November 25, 2025 | Streaming CAST & CREW OF MUSIC CITY MISTLETOE Sarah Pribis as Chloe Barlow Brooks Ryan as Devin James BRAN'S MUSIC CITY MISTLETOE SYNOPSIS The movie kicks off with some country Christmas music playing on a Nashville radio station. The town is buzzing because James Robert Webb is getting ready to record a new album, and every songwriter in Nashville is chomping at the bit. Chloe Barlow is an up-and-coming songwriter, and she's pumped that James Robert Webb has picked her song to be his first single. This is her big break! Except... bad news. They've changed producers, and not only is her song no longer the first single, but it's not even going to be on the album anymore. She's devastated. To take her mind off things, she heads to a children's hospital to sing Christmas songs for some of the patients. There she meets a young girl named Amberlee, who immediately takes a liking to Chloe and her music. Her dad, Devin, on the other hand? He thinks songs are dumb. But when he sees how much Chloe's music means to Amberlee, he softens and tells her he hopes she'll come back and sing again sometime. Meanwhile, the music publishing company Chloe works for is struggling and turns to Devin's company for help. When Devin and his team look at the numbers, it seems like the obvious move is to shut the company down. But Devin takes a liking to Chloe and fights to find a way to turn things around instead. As they spend more time together, Chloe grows closer to Amberlee, helping her write a song, teaching her how to pray away stage fright, and encouraging her to perform at the Christmas talent show. Devin eventually invites Chloe to participate in a songwriting session with his team as a team-building exercise. To everyone's surprise, they love it. They're like, "Wait... this is awesome. Maybe this could actually be your thing." Then, at a Christmas party, the big singer himself drops a bombshell: "I recorded your song after all." Chloe is on cloud nine. And with all that excitement in the air, she and Devin finally share a kiss.   Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

0:00 - The New York Knickerbockers stole Game 1 of the NBA Finals from the Spurs in San Antonio last night. What a game! Brett noticed that both teams USE THEIR DEPTH. They're playing like 10+ players a game! It's almost like that's what we wanted the NUGGETS TO DO in their first round series! This is the new NBA. Depth wins ballgames. No more shortening the rotation in the playoffs. All hands on deck.16:05 - Chris MacFarland was officially introduced yesterday as President of Hockey Operations and General Manager of the Nashville Predators. He addressed the media in Music City and was very complimentary of Joe Sakic, the Avalanche organization, and his time in Denver as a whole. When did Nashville start chatting with CMac? Were they in touch during the playoffs? Does that matter?He also spoke very highly of Jared Bednar and the coaching staff overall. Does that sound like a guy who would've fired Bedsie?34:31 - Russell Wilson officially announced his retirement from the NFL. He's taking his talents to CBS. He posted a retirement video on social media yesteray and it's vintage Russ cornball tomfoolery. Russ gon Russ. Let's ride.

0:00 - Avs GM Chris MacFarland was hired by the Nashville Predators to be their President of Hockey Operations and General Manager. They made him an offer he can't refure, so he took his talents to the Music City. Joe Sakic will take over as GM "for the foreseeable future."If they hire a new GM, what will the relationship be between him and Sakic? Sakic definitely has his fingerprints on every deal and, oh by the way, he's a Hall of Famer with 2 Stanley Cups. Or, do you let Sakic just be the GM by himself again?15:11 - The more we think about the Avs vs Golden Knights series, the less sense it makes. We hate to keep using the F word but it feels like a fluke. Vegas stole Game 1 of the Finals on the road at Carolina last night. The Hurricanes scored a goal 30 SECONDS INTO THE GAME and still lost 5-4. Vegas just feels like THAT team. They're the team of destiny. This is their year. Everything is coming up aces, you might say.33:44 - The Broncos gave PSII a $5 million bonus yesterday. That kinda came out of nowhere. Here you go, PSII! Take a cool $5 mil. Brett's reading between the lines here...what was the real reason for the bonus? Were the Broncos attempting to appease PSII and prevent a potential camp holdout?

Rick Cheatham has lived through things most men couldn't survive. A sexual addiction that nearly destroyed his marriage. A knock on the door at 4AM telling him his son had been taken from him. And then five months into retirement, he passed out, broke his neck at C4 and C5, and woke up paralyzed from the chest down.And through all of it, he discovered that the most dangerous thing wasn't any of those events. It was the justified resentment he carried silently every single day.In this episode, Rick and Joe go deep on what forgiveness actually costs, why suffering is the path not the punishment, how religion weaponized fear to control people, and what happens when a Christian and a pagan sit down and realize they've been experiencing the exact same God through completely different languages.This is one of the most powerful conversations of this show.Previous episodes with Rick: 103, 104, 108 & 109

Chad just got back from Tennessee, and he's not over it yet. Good luck getting him over it. Nashville first, from Barrett Hobbs, the Scoreboard, the Nashville Palace, dinner at the Detroit Cowboy with Chef Marino throwing down on steaks and lobster, then straight to Kid Rock's Honky Tonk with a VIP section right above the band. That's how you do Music City. Then Lynchburg. The Jack Daniel's distillery. Barrel selection with 24 people, the biggest group selection Clint Bailey and Josh Phillips had ever done. Drilling straight into a nine-year-old barrel in a rickhouse, lunch at Miss Mary Bobo's, shopping at the hardware store, and a sunset dinner on the hill with cigars and rocking chairs made from actual barrel wood. Hank Jr., Waylon, Randy Travis, and Don Williams playing softly in the background straight from his friend's guitars. Chad also gets into the single-barrel program and why you should seriously look into getting one for your family, your company, and your legacy. The details on that are worth the listen alone. This one's a trip. Pour something good and come along for it.

Episode 368 features Nashville-based Americana songwriter Kevin Daniel. Hailing originally from North Carolina, Kevin brings a rich, soul-stirring blend of southern rock, gospel, blues, and heartfelt storytelling that he calls “Y'allternative Rock.” After years honing his craft in Brooklyn and building a reputation as a dynamic live performer, he's now calling Music City home and continuing to turn heads with his powerful voice, honest songwriting, and high-energy shows. Kevin's musical journey took a profound turn after the tragic loss of his parents in a plane crash in 2013. That grief and celebration of their adventurous lives fueled his debut EP FLY, and he's since released a string of acclaimed projects including Myself Through You, Things I Don't See, Been Here Before, and his latest full-length The Life & Adventures of Kevin Daniel (via Organic Records). He's shared stages with artists like Brittany Spencer and Mary Gauthier, toured extensively across the US, UK, and Mexico (often 100–150 dates a year), and earned praise for his ability to weave rock, soul, roots, and Appalachian influences into deeply personal songs. I featured his track “Bless Your Heart” on this episode. It's a great example of Kevin's signature mix of wit, warmth, and raw emotion that captures the spirit of Southern life with a modern edge. If you love authentic Americana with grit, soul, and plenty of heart, Kevin Daniel is a must-listen. Catch him live when he rolls through your town, and stream his music everywhere now.                Please follow, rate, or review the podcast wherever you are streaming if you'd like to help us out.  -- Part-Time Rockstar Productions is available in the DMV for music videos and live filming.     

We call ourselves Music City.But for a lot of kids growing up here, music lessons are simply out of reach. There's a place in Edgehill where lessons still cost fifty cents — just like they did more than 40 years ago. It's called the W.O. Smith Music School, and hundreds of students benefit from its founding each year. Our guest today is executive director Valerie Cordero. She's an ethnomusicologist whose own story veered away from music for much of her career. Now she's back to helping make music every day.This episode was produced by Josh Deepan. Guests Valerie Cordero, W.O. Smith Music School Executive Director
