[00:00:38] Scott, Merry Christmas Eve, buddy

[00:00:40] Merry Christmas Eve

[00:00:41] I think this is always my favorite day of the year

[00:00:44] Especially of the season

[00:00:46] Sometimes Christmas Day

[00:00:47] It's kind of like, oh, it's over

[00:00:49] But this is it

[00:00:50] I mean, the anticipation cannot be higher

[00:00:53] This is peak anticipation

[00:00:54] This is it

[00:00:55] This is it

[00:00:55] Very excited about today

[00:00:57] And very excited for today's mailbag

[00:00:59] Because it looks like we got some good stuff

[00:01:00] So let's open that sucker up

[00:01:02] Let's do it

[00:01:03] Letters

[00:01:04] We get letters

[00:01:05] We get stacks and stacks of letters

[00:01:10] I have an email from listener Fred

[00:01:12] Fred says

[00:01:12] I may have missed music email Monday

[00:01:14] But I was listening recently

[00:01:16] And you played a song by

[00:01:18] Loaf Straightjackets featuring Nick Lowe

[00:01:20] You both commented that you knew the band

[00:01:22] But I had never heard of Nick Lowe

[00:01:23] I was in the other camp

[00:01:24] Not being familiar with the band

[00:01:26] But Nick Lowe is a fairly well-known

[00:01:28] English singer-songwriter

[00:01:29] He put out an album of mostly original Christmas songs

[00:01:33] A few years back

[00:01:34] Called Quality Street

[00:01:35] Which is a really enjoyable listen

[00:01:37] And I recall you even played his track

[00:01:39] Christmas at the airport

[00:01:40] In an original song battle once

[00:01:42] I didn't realize it was the same person Fred

[00:01:45] Thank you

[00:01:45] Listener Fred over here

[00:01:46] Has the receipts of our show

[00:01:48] Ready to pull out

[00:01:50] No, that sounds like us

[00:01:51] Sounds like something we would do

[00:01:53] Where we say we don't know somebody

[00:01:54] We've like battled their songs five times

[00:01:56] That's right

[00:01:57] Yeah, he's sitting next to us

[00:01:58] Who's Jose James?

[00:01:59] I don't know

[00:02:00] Yeah, who's that guy?

[00:02:01] I don't know who that

[00:02:02] Thank you so much Fred

[00:02:03] I appreciate it

[00:02:04] I have an email from Jack Unverforth

[00:02:06] Jack says, as always

[00:02:07] I have to thank you for the work

[00:02:08] You put into the podcasts

[00:02:10] As much as I enjoy

[00:02:11] The Christmas Morning Podcast

[00:02:12] I also enjoy hearing you

[00:02:14] On your other podcast

[00:02:15] And your guest appearances

[00:02:17] On other shows

[00:02:18] Thanks Jack

[00:02:19] Anyway, I thought to write

[00:02:20] As I was putting up ornaments

[00:02:21] On the tree today

[00:02:22] As usual

[00:02:23] I put the tree up

[00:02:24] Before Thanksgiving

[00:02:24] But I waited until

[00:02:26] I had some time

[00:02:26] To play a Christmas playlist

[00:02:28] And get all the ornaments

[00:02:29] From 40 years of marriage

[00:02:31] And almost as many with kids

[00:02:33] On the tree

[00:02:33] It struck me

[00:02:35] As the most nostalgic

[00:02:36] And emotional part of the season

[00:02:37] As I put up the ornaments

[00:02:39] I watched all the phases

[00:02:40] Of our lives together

[00:02:41] Go up on that tree

[00:02:42] And I had the chance

[00:02:42] To reflect

[00:02:43] On all the Christmases

[00:02:44] And all the years

[00:02:45] That have gone by

[00:02:46] What a great afternoon

[00:02:47] I hope that as your kids grow

[00:02:49] You have the same chance

[00:02:50] To sit back and reflect

[00:02:51] It really has been

[00:02:53] A wonderful life

[00:02:55] So far

[00:02:55] I thought

[00:02:57] To send a not so great picture

[00:02:58] Of it

[00:02:59] You can't tell

[00:02:59] But it contains our kids

[00:03:01] Vacations

[00:03:01] Pets and passions

[00:03:02] Over the past 40 years

[00:03:04] Merry Christmas to you

[00:03:05] And all your fans

[00:03:06] Build great memories

[00:03:07] This year

[00:03:08] And he sent a picture

[00:03:09] Of the tree

[00:03:10] Bran I think it's beautiful

[00:03:11] He says it's not

[00:03:12] A great picture

[00:03:13] The green lights

[00:03:15] Are coming alive

[00:03:16] In this photo

[00:03:16] They sure are

[00:03:17] They sure are

[00:03:18] And I zoomed in nice

[00:03:19] And I get to see

[00:03:20] All the fun little ornaments

[00:03:21] Jack

[00:03:21] Your email was so sweet

[00:03:23] Yeah

[00:03:23] It got me a little misty eyed

[00:03:25] It was beautiful sentiment

[00:03:26] That you expressed there

[00:03:28] And I thought

[00:03:29] You were going to say

[00:03:30] Oh I was looking at all this

[00:03:31] And it you know

[00:03:32] Made me sad

[00:03:32] About time gone by

[00:03:33] But he took the opposite

[00:03:35] He said

[00:03:35] What a wonderful life

[00:03:36] It's been

[00:03:37] And Jack

[00:03:37] I want to embrace

[00:03:39] That spirit that you have

[00:03:40] So thank you for writing in

[00:03:41] Absolutely

[00:03:42] That was fantastic

[00:03:43] You got a joke for us today Scotty?

[00:03:44] I do

[00:03:45] This one was submitted to us

[00:03:46] By Lee Hodo

[00:03:47] Oh boy

[00:03:47] Here we go

[00:03:48] What did one Christmas tree

[00:03:49] Say to the other?

[00:03:52] I don't know

[00:03:53] Lighten up

[00:03:54] Waka waka

[00:03:56] There it is

[00:03:57] To be fair

[00:03:57] Lee sent a webpage

[00:03:59] That had a bunch of jokes

[00:04:00] I picked that one

[00:04:00] So by proxy

[00:04:01] He picked it

[00:04:02] If Lee didn't like it

[00:04:03] Then he's not responsible for it

[00:04:05] Yeah

[00:04:05] More than fair

[00:04:06] I liked that one

[00:04:07] That was funny

[00:04:07] Lighten up

[00:04:08] Silly tree

[00:04:10] Let's get to the countdown

[00:04:16] One day until Christmas

[00:04:20] What?

[00:04:21] This is the only day of the year

[00:04:23] Where you can say

[00:04:23] One day singular

[00:04:26] Until Christmas

[00:04:27] I just love this

[00:04:29] I'm so excited

[00:04:30] Losing my mind

[00:04:32] I'm losing my mind

[00:04:33] Scotty

[00:04:34] I'm so excited

[00:04:35] That's right

[00:04:35] So so good

[00:04:36] That's incredible

[00:04:37] That's incredible

[00:04:38] Scotty I think we've delayed

[00:04:39] Enough

[00:04:40] I think at this point

[00:04:41] People know what is about to happen

[00:04:43] And they're excited

[00:04:43] They're bringing their friends

[00:04:45] And their family

[00:04:46] Into the room

[00:04:47] Because

[00:04:48] Pulling over in the car

[00:04:50] It's time for

[00:04:51] Today's very special edition

[00:04:53] Of the news

[00:04:53] Today is December 24th

[00:05:03] Here is the news

[00:05:05] Scotty we've been lucky enough

[00:05:07] Over the past few years

[00:05:09] To be joined by

[00:05:10] One Santa Claus

[00:05:12] On Christmas Eve

[00:05:14] And today is no different

[00:05:16] We are expecting him to call in

[00:05:19] Any second now

[00:05:20] Scotty

[00:05:20] It's very exciting

[00:05:21] I'm very excited

[00:05:22] I love talking to the big man

[00:05:24] We see him occasionally

[00:05:25] At the North Pole

[00:05:26] But it's not like

[00:05:28] Oh

[00:05:29] Oh

[00:05:29] Oh

[00:05:29] Oh

[00:05:30] Oh

[00:05:31] Oh

[00:05:31] Oh

[00:05:32] Well hello Santa

[00:05:33] Oh

[00:05:35] Hello Scotty

[00:05:36] Hello Bran

[00:05:37] Hey Santa

[00:05:39] Good to see you

[00:05:40] How's your trip going so far

[00:05:42] It's going well

[00:05:43] Scotty

[00:05:44] We started off

[00:05:45] A little bit weird

[00:05:46] But it's going well now

[00:05:48] What was weird about it

[00:05:49] So

[00:05:50] I don't know how

[00:05:51] In the weeds

[00:05:51] You want to get Scotty

[00:05:53] I don't know how

[00:05:53] In the weeds

[00:05:54] You want to get

[00:05:54] Take me on a journey

[00:05:56] Santa

[00:05:56] I always want to know

[00:05:57] The

[00:05:57] I want to know

[00:05:58] The behind the scenes

[00:05:59] You know the movie Up

[00:06:01] Yeah sure

[00:06:01] With the

[00:06:02] With the guy

[00:06:02] In the balloons

[00:06:03] Yeah

[00:06:04] Apparently

[00:06:05] The other day

[00:06:06] Some of the elves

[00:06:07] Decided to play up

[00:06:08] With my sleigh

[00:06:09] To see if the reindeer

[00:06:10] Were obsolete

[00:06:11] They didn't tell me that

[00:06:13] There were a bunch

[00:06:13] Of stray balloons

[00:06:14] Just hanging

[00:06:15] From the sleigh

[00:06:16] As we began to lift off

[00:06:17] One of them got tangled up

[00:06:18] And one of them

[00:06:18] Stinged tried to take us down

[00:06:20] But we made it Scotty

[00:06:21] We're fine

[00:06:21] Well I'm glad

[00:06:22] Everything worked out there

[00:06:24] A little

[00:06:24] Sounds like it got

[00:06:25] A little dicey

[00:06:26] Well we had to fire

[00:06:27] A couple good elves today

[00:06:28] But aside from that

[00:06:29] It's been a good day

[00:06:30] Oh that's going to be

[00:06:31] Tough for their families

[00:06:32] That sounds awful

[00:06:33] I always have faith in you

[00:06:34] That you're going to

[00:06:35] Pull it out

[00:06:35] You've done this trip

[00:06:37] Thousands of times now

[00:06:38] Yes

[00:06:39] So it's not like

[00:06:40] You don't have the experience

[00:06:41] The balloon thing

[00:06:42] Might be a little bit new

[00:06:43] It's the first time

[00:06:44] For the balloon situation

[00:06:45] Yes

[00:06:46] Hopefully the last too

[00:06:47] I hope so

[00:06:48] I mean that's why

[00:06:49] I had to fire him

[00:06:50] We got to make an example

[00:06:51] Of some of these guys Scotty

[00:06:52] You know that

[00:06:52] So if you look over

[00:06:54] The sleigh right now

[00:06:55] Where are you in the world

[00:06:56] What are you over

[00:06:56] I gotta be honest Scotty

[00:06:58] I got no idea

[00:06:59] Where I am right now

[00:07:00] That's one of the things

[00:07:01] They don't tell you

[00:07:02] They don't warn you

[00:07:04] That all the water

[00:07:05] Looks the same

[00:07:06] Hmm

[00:07:06] So do you have like

[00:07:07] A Santa autopilot now

[00:07:09] You don't actually

[00:07:10] Have to navigate

[00:07:11] No I gotta navigate Scotty

[00:07:13] Here's the situation

[00:07:13] At hand

[00:07:14] I actually

[00:07:15] Get my navigation

[00:07:17] Via the telephone

[00:07:18] So when I'm on the phone

[00:07:19] With you

[00:07:19] I have to hang up

[00:07:20] On navigation

[00:07:21] This is always

[00:07:22] A risky time for me

[00:07:23] Oh well I appreciate

[00:07:24] You doing that for us

[00:07:26] I'm a little bit concerned

[00:07:27] But

[00:07:28] If Hawaii doesn't

[00:07:29] Get their gifts

[00:07:30] It's on you Scotty

[00:07:32] Santa Hawaii

[00:07:33] Should be one of

[00:07:34] Your very last stops

[00:07:35] That's what I'm saying

[00:07:36] Oh

[00:07:37] I see what you're saying

[00:07:38] That's right

[00:07:39] Because you're circling

[00:07:39] Over the Pacific

[00:07:40] Keep up Scotty

[00:07:40] Keep up

[00:07:41] I know it's been

[00:07:42] A long season

[00:07:42] It's been a very long season

[00:07:44] You know the trips

[00:07:45] You guys know about

[00:07:46] Kringle Radio

[00:07:47] I'm more of a

[00:07:48] Google Santa tracker

[00:07:49] Guy

[00:07:50] Oh I'm sorry

[00:07:52] What

[00:07:54] Google

[00:07:55] You do the Google

[00:07:56] Well

[00:07:57] I'm actually

[00:07:58] I'm with Santa

[00:07:59] On this one

[00:07:59] I think I've made my

[00:08:00] Can I ask Santa

[00:08:01] A question Scotty

[00:08:02] Yeah go for it

[00:08:02] Brandon

[00:08:02] Santa I've been

[00:08:03] Wondering

[00:08:04] We had a conversation

[00:08:06] Earlier this week

[00:08:07] About stockings

[00:08:08] And when is the

[00:08:10] Right time

[00:08:10] For the adults

[00:08:11] To fill other

[00:08:12] Adult stockings

[00:08:13] I didn't know

[00:08:14] If you would

[00:08:14] Have anything

[00:08:15] That you would

[00:08:15] Like to weigh in

[00:08:16] On this

[00:08:16] That's a really

[00:08:17] Good question

[00:08:17] Oh

[00:08:18] Brad

[00:08:19] You're a smart

[00:08:20] Cookie

[00:08:20] Aren't you

[00:08:21] Oh I love you

[00:08:22] Is he

[00:08:23] What

[00:08:23] No nothing

[00:08:24] Go ahead

[00:08:25] So I've seen

[00:08:26] It done a lot

[00:08:27] Of different ways

[00:08:27] The one thing

[00:08:28] That I will say

[00:08:29] Is as long

[00:08:31] As you are

[00:08:32] Being thoughtful

[00:08:33] With your stockings

[00:08:34] I don't think

[00:08:35] It matters too much

[00:08:36] Unless your

[00:08:37] Stocking is so big

[00:08:39] That it gets in the way

[00:08:40] Of me coming down

[00:08:41] The chimney

[00:08:41] And gets caught

[00:08:42] In my bag

[00:08:43] And stuff

[00:08:44] Cause then sometimes

[00:08:44] I can get pulled

[00:08:45] Off the mantle

[00:08:46] And I gotta put it

[00:08:47] Back in the thing

[00:08:48] And that adds to it

[00:08:49] That adds to it

[00:08:50] So whatever

[00:08:51] Santa at what age

[00:08:52] Do you stop

[00:08:53] Filling stockings

[00:08:54] So that other people

[00:08:55] Are responsible

[00:08:56] For those

[00:08:57] You know what I mean

[00:08:57] Is it like

[00:08:58] Age 15

[00:09:00] 14

[00:09:01] Or do you not

[00:09:02] Have a set number

[00:09:02] No it's not a set number

[00:09:04] You just gotta feel it out

[00:09:05] It's one of those things

[00:09:06] I just

[00:09:06] I know

[00:09:07] Is it

[00:09:08] Christmas spirit related

[00:09:09] It's Christmas spirit related

[00:09:11] It is

[00:09:11] You know

[00:09:12] Something that I

[00:09:13] Kinda know

[00:09:14] Like I

[00:09:14] I have a good

[00:09:15] Gauge

[00:09:16] On when parents

[00:09:17] Are kind of

[00:09:17] You know

[00:09:18] Parent

[00:09:18] I'm letting parents

[00:09:19] Parent

[00:09:20] Scotty

[00:09:20] If that makes sense

[00:09:21] And so

[00:09:22] As they begin to think

[00:09:23] That their child

[00:09:24] Is old enough

[00:09:25] For them

[00:09:26] To fill their stockings

[00:09:27] Then I kinda back off

[00:09:28] It's just kinda

[00:09:29] I know when you're sleeping

[00:09:30] I know when you're awake

[00:09:31] And I know when your parents

[00:09:32] Are gonna start putting

[00:09:32] Your stock in a go

[00:09:33] Okay well that's good to know

[00:09:34] Hey can I ask you

[00:09:35] One more question

[00:09:36] I know you're

[00:09:37] You're up against it here

[00:09:38] Have you ever considered

[00:09:39] Just using the door

[00:09:40] Rather than the chimney

[00:09:41] What's

[00:09:42] Or is it tradition

[00:09:43] At this point

[00:09:43] Instead of going down

[00:09:45] The chimney

[00:09:45] Uh huh

[00:09:46] I'm just going the door

[00:09:47] Uh

[00:09:48] Huh

[00:09:50] You know what

[00:09:50] You might wanna give it a shot

[00:09:52] Maybe next year

[00:09:53] I never thought of that

[00:09:53] Yeah

[00:09:53] You think people would be okay with that

[00:09:55] Well yeah

[00:09:56] We'll just

[00:09:57] All the parents

[00:09:57] Will just leave a key

[00:09:58] Under the mat for you

[00:10:00] Oh and the alarm code too though

[00:10:02] That

[00:10:02] You know what

[00:10:02] That's probably the problem

[00:10:04] You're gonna set the alarm off

[00:10:05] Yeah yeah

[00:10:05] That's it

[00:10:06] That's it

[00:10:06] Yeah yeah

[00:10:07] It's definitely not

[00:10:08] Because I've never thought of it

[00:10:09] Okay good

[00:10:09] Good

[00:10:10] Yeah it's definitely

[00:10:10] The alarm code situation

[00:10:12] Anything special

[00:10:13] I should leave

[00:10:14] For the reindeer

[00:10:14] On the back porch this year

[00:10:16] They're over carrots

[00:10:17] I will say that

[00:10:18] A lot of people

[00:10:18] Have kinda grabbed onto

[00:10:20] This carrot idea

[00:10:20] They're over the carrots

[00:10:22] They're really into beans

[00:10:23] Which is a bummer for me

[00:10:24] But they're really into beans

[00:10:25] Right now

[00:10:26] Quick administrative note

[00:10:27] On that idea for you

[00:10:28] Sure

[00:10:29] Last year

[00:10:30] Little bit of a mess

[00:10:31] Left in my yard

[00:10:32] So this year

[00:10:33] Uh huh

[00:10:33] I put out some of those

[00:10:34] Plastic bags

[00:10:35] For you

[00:10:36] So if you could just

[00:10:37] Curb your reindeer for me

[00:10:38] You want me to pick it up

[00:10:40] Yeah

[00:10:40] I'm leaving gifts Scotty

[00:10:42] You're leaving a lot more

[00:10:44] Than gifts

[00:10:44] Is the problem

[00:10:45] Okay

[00:10:46] Alright Scott

[00:10:47] Okay Scotty

[00:11:17] Merry Christmas Santa

[00:11:18] Love you buddy

[00:11:18] Bye Santa

[00:11:19] That was weird

[00:11:21] I don't think he was fully

[00:11:22] Well he's got a big day

[00:11:23] Like his mind was somewhere else

[00:11:25] Every second he was on the phone

[00:11:26] With us

[00:11:26] Yeah I guess

[00:11:27] He wasn't on the phone

[00:11:28] With ground control

[00:11:29] So

[00:11:29] Yeah that's true

[00:11:30] Like when I'm trying to find

[00:11:31] Somewhere in the car

[00:11:32] Like an address

[00:11:34] I always turn the radio down

[00:11:35] Because I need concentration

[00:11:37] So you know

[00:11:38] We're just a big distraction

[00:11:39] Right now

[00:11:40] It was nice of him

[00:11:40] To take the time

[00:11:41] As usual for us

[00:11:42] Yeah

[00:11:43] He's a little bit

[00:11:43] He's a little bit crazy

[00:11:44] But he's great

[00:11:45] As long as it gets done

[00:11:48] Love that guy

[00:11:48] The fact that we get to talk to him

[00:11:49] Every year is just a big hoop

[00:11:51] For sure

[00:11:51] Yeah

[00:15:09] I'll Be Home

[00:15:10] For Christmas

[00:15:10] Yesterday

[00:15:11] And then today

[00:15:11] The Christmas song

[00:15:12] Oh I thought you were

[00:15:13] Saying the song

[00:15:14] Was I'll Be Home

[00:15:14] For Christmas

[00:15:15] Yesterday

[00:15:15] And I was thinking

[00:15:16] That's kind of a cool

[00:15:18] Title for a song

[00:15:19] But that's not

[00:15:19] What you meant

[00:15:20] We'll work on that

[00:15:21] Yesterday's battle

[00:15:21] Was I'll Be Home

[00:15:22] For Christmas

[00:15:22] Today is the Christmas song

[00:15:24] Two songs that just

[00:15:25] Ooze Christmas

[00:15:27] And so I'm excited

[00:15:28] About today's battle

[00:15:29] Let's see what we got

[00:15:30] Scotty

[00:15:31] Up first

[00:15:31] Oh and we should

[00:15:32] Mention Bran

[00:15:33] These are not originals

[00:15:34] Today

[00:15:34] Oh that's right

[00:15:35] You really threw

[00:15:36] A curveball at me

[00:15:37] Because I was like

[00:15:38] Alright gotta find

[00:15:39] Wait a minute

[00:15:40] This is not an original

[00:15:41] By Bran

[00:15:42] I apologize

[00:15:43] I apologize

[00:15:43] No no no

[00:15:44] This is better

[00:15:45] This is like a treat

[00:15:46] For me

[00:15:47] That I didn't have

[00:15:47] To go looking

[00:15:48] For an original

[00:15:48] Christmas song today

[00:15:49] Could not be happier

[00:15:50] It felt wrong

[00:15:51] To battle an original

[00:15:53] Song on Christmas Eve

[00:15:54] It's a special time

[00:15:55] Yeah because you

[00:15:56] Never know what

[00:15:57] You're gonna

[00:15:57] It's a real crap

[00:15:58] Shoot on those originals

[00:15:59] And especially since

[00:16:00] We had the

[00:16:01] Saturday and Sunday

[00:16:02] Where we could kind of

[00:16:02] Play around a little bit

[00:16:04] Oh yeah we had

[00:16:04] The goofy time

[00:16:05] It felt right

[00:16:05] It felt right

[00:16:06] So this is the

[00:16:06] Christmas song today

[00:16:07] Not original

[00:16:08] Christmas music Tuesday

[00:16:09] So we'll get back to that

[00:16:12] In January

[00:16:13] Or not

[00:16:13] That's totally fine

[00:16:14] First we have

[00:16:17] The Christmas song

[00:16:18] By the Forest Rangers

[00:16:22] Chestnuts

[00:16:23] Roasting

[00:16:24] On an open fire

[00:16:29] Jack Frost

[00:16:31] Snipping

[00:16:32] At your nose

[00:16:34] Being sung

[00:16:41] By a choir

[00:16:45] Dressed up like

[00:16:47] Eskimo

[00:17:21] Bran obviously

[00:17:22] That was not Motown

[00:17:23] But it was giving me

[00:17:25] Motown vibes

[00:17:26] Oh so good

[00:17:28] I gotta be honest

[00:17:29] I felt like we've heard

[00:17:30] Every way that you could

[00:17:31] Make the Christmas song

[00:17:33] Your own

[00:17:33] And then the

[00:17:35] The Forest Rangers

[00:17:36] Come in and they do

[00:17:37] Their own thing

[00:17:37] Yeah it was like

[00:17:38] A little soul

[00:17:39] Little slight R&B

[00:17:41] Cool take on it

[00:17:42] Different

[00:17:42] Cool take on it

[00:17:42] Really cool take

[00:17:43] Up next we have

[00:17:44] The Christmas song

[00:17:45] By Luke

[00:17:46] What would you say

[00:17:49] Waltansky

[00:17:49] Yeah Luke Waltansky

[00:17:51] Featuring Marin Tack

[00:17:52] Chestnuts

[00:17:54] Roasting

[00:17:55] On an open fire

[00:17:57] Jack Frost

[00:18:03] Snipping at your nose

[00:18:08] You died

[00:18:11] The carols

[00:18:12] Being sung

[00:18:14] By a choir

[00:18:17] Folks

[00:18:19] Dressed up like

[00:18:21] Eskimos

[00:18:22] Everybody knows

[00:18:28] I'm mistletoe

[00:18:32] Ooh Bran

[00:19:01] Now not the same vibe

[00:19:03] As the Forest Rangers

[00:19:04] But another soulful version

[00:19:07] Two great versions

[00:19:08] That's for sure

[00:19:09] Really really great

[00:19:10] And this is the time

[00:19:12] That I want

[00:19:13] The classic take

[00:19:15] Yeah

[00:19:16] On it

[00:19:16] I want

[00:19:17] Full of emotion

[00:19:18] I don't need the punk

[00:19:19] Or ska

[00:19:20] Or anything like that

[00:19:21] And both of these songs

[00:19:23] Are totally doing it

[00:19:26] It is

[00:19:27] It is
