On the pod, you'll hear Megan suggest that we need to modify our Dudes of Hallmark t-shirt to include Kristoffer Polaha who played Jake in A Dickens of a Holiday! Wendy disagrees and stands firm that Polaha doesn't check the wowie-zowie box. We'll need the listeners to weigh in! We did find this scene of Polaha in front of a green screen as one of Hollywood's biggest action stars pretty dang funny.
