11 weeks / 77 days until Christmas! (Original Christmas Song Battle)

[00:00:02] This is a Bramble Jam Podcast

[00:00:04] I'm from the North Pole

[00:00:14] It's time for Christmas Morning

[00:00:17] The daily show where every day is Christmas

[00:00:21] Here are your hosts, Bramble Jam

[00:00:33] Whoa, whoa, whoa, hello everybody

[00:00:35] I'm back

[00:00:37] I'm Bramble Jam

[00:00:38] I'm Bramble Jam and I'm here with my good friend Scott

[00:00:40] Scott, hi buddy, Merry Christmas

[00:00:43] Alright, let's run through the checklist here, Bramble Jam

[00:00:46] We've got Brandon today

[00:00:47] Yes, check

[00:00:48] We've got Scott on the correct microphone input

[00:00:51] Check

[00:00:52] And I think that's it, Bramble Jam

[00:00:54] We missed you, buddy

[00:00:55] I missed you, but boy howdy, last week's episode was fun

[00:00:58] I know you are an audiophile

[00:01:02] And you love when things sound good

[00:01:06] But I thought for a webcam, my big takeaway was for a webcam microphone, not bad

[00:01:11] It wasn't the worst thing that's ever happened

[00:01:13] Otherwise I would have probably re-recorded just my half

[00:01:17] And that would have been a whole lot of work

[00:01:19] And it's not that the listeners aren't worth it

[00:01:21] It's just I didn't have time to do it

[00:01:23] It was hard

[00:01:24] Yeah, I, for one of the parades that Ryan and I potted

[00:01:30] My mic was low in OBS and I didn't realize it until afterwards

[00:01:33] So I went in and every time I couldn't hear myself, I re-recorded it

[00:01:37] It's so tough

[00:01:38] And I was like, this is a lot

[00:01:39] But it was like, it was like a two and a half hour parade

[00:01:41] I'm like, I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna make Ryan re-watch it

[00:01:44] It's also a parade, like how important is it?

[00:01:47] It's stuff like that, you know, where you gotta go through

[00:01:50] What's this worth to me?

[00:01:52] And so, but I thought it sounded really good for a webcam

[00:01:55] So you gotta send me a link to that webcam

[00:01:57] Now this is not Christmassy

[00:01:59] But I wanna let you know that a lot of people wrote in

[00:02:01] And asked about you

[00:02:02] And let us know that they were thinking about you

[00:02:04] How is everything?

[00:02:06] Everything is slowly but surely

[00:02:08] Getting back to normal in the Greenville area

[00:02:11] Obviously Western North Carolina still

[00:02:13] It's gonna be a long, long time for the folks up there

[00:02:17] To get back to normal

[00:02:18] But my kids went back to school today, Wednesday

[00:02:22] So after a, almost two full weeks of being off

[00:02:25] They're finally back

[00:02:26] Wow, two full weeks

[00:02:27] That goes from, oh my little sweeties

[00:02:30] To pick them up by their belt

[00:02:32] And toss them onto the bus

[00:02:34] It's also like, as I'm pretty routine based

[00:02:39] I like to know what my day is gonna look like and stuff

[00:02:42] And so it was a good challenge to breathe through it

[00:02:48] And it's okay that you don't know

[00:02:50] What every day is gonna look like, it's okay

[00:02:52] Yeah, I like my stresses to be linear as well

[00:02:54] Hey, we got a lot of housekeeping to get to

[00:02:56] Can we open up that mailbag?

[00:02:57] Let's do it, please

[00:02:58] Letters, we get letters

[00:03:00] We get stacks and stacks of letters

[00:03:05] First email from Melanie Marie

[00:03:07] Melanie says, my job has been waist deep in Halloween since mid-August

[00:03:11] So I needed a palate cleanser

[00:03:13] And decided to head over to Give Kids the World Village

[00:03:17] In Kissimmee for some Christmas fun

[00:03:19] If you're not familiar, Give Kids the World Village is a non-profit resort

[00:03:24] That partners with Make-A-Wish and other similar organizations

[00:03:26] To provide week-long vacations to children that are critically ill

[00:03:30] Wow

[00:03:31] Families from all over the world get to stay in the village for an entire week

[00:03:34] And get to visit the Central Florida theme parks for free

[00:03:37] Wow

[00:03:38] The village itself is like an amusement park with pools, mini golf, and rides for the kids to enjoy

[00:03:43] Every day of the village is a different celebration

[00:03:45] And Thursdays is always winter wonderland

[00:03:48] Oh wow

[00:03:49] The families can gather and take pictures with Santa

[00:03:51] Play holiday-themed games, crafts, and the children even get gifts

[00:03:55] Nice gifts donated by Hasbro

[00:03:57] Wow

[00:03:58] Usually the party is held at the village square

[00:04:00] And there's outdoor activities like horse carriage rides

[00:04:03] But in Florida in the summer, of course, we had to move it indoors

[00:04:06] A great time was had regardless

[00:04:08] And she included some pictures here

[00:04:10] I'm going to put them on our Instagram brand

[00:04:11] They look so great

[00:04:13] This is amazing

[00:04:14] And I love

[00:04:15] I love this idea

[00:04:15] I grew up in Florida

[00:04:17] You know, like an hour or so away from Kissimmee

[00:04:20] And I've never heard of this place

[00:04:22] So this is actually really good to know about

[00:04:26] It sounds like an amazing organization doing amazing things

[00:04:29] So that's awesome

[00:04:31] Yeah, it looks wonderful

[00:04:32] And Melanie, keep an eye on that hurricane

[00:04:34] It's probably going to be a tropical storm by the time it gets to you

[00:04:36] But just be careful out there

[00:04:37] Worried about all of our morning people

[00:04:39] It's a mess out there

[00:04:40] It really is

[00:04:41] I've got an email from Sylvia

[00:04:43] Sylvia says, I emailed you in August

[00:04:45] When we were unloading our Christmas trim at Macy's

[00:04:48] In Costa Mesa, California

[00:04:50] And I wanted to send you some updated photos of our displays

[00:04:53] Sorry for the poorly shot video

[00:04:56] It was at the end of my shift

[00:04:57] Love your show

[00:04:58] Thank you for making every day like Christmas

[00:05:01] And Brian, this is something

[00:05:03] I don't remember if I was talking about it with you or Alonzo

[00:05:06] But I love department store Christmas

[00:05:08] It always has this incredible polish to it

[00:05:12] This tastefulness

[00:05:13] That not everything at Christmas has to be tasteful to me

[00:05:17] But I do like those sprinkles of it

[00:05:19] I love to see a carefully curated Christmas

[00:05:22] And this looks like it

[00:05:23] You and Alonzo have that love in common for sure

[00:05:26] He loves a department store

[00:05:28] I love a good department store

[00:05:30] So

[00:05:30] These are cool pictures

[00:05:31] Yeah, look at these displays here

[00:05:33] Look at those lineups of little stuffed doggies

[00:05:36] I want that

[00:05:37] Yeah, I feel like it's missing some stuff around it

[00:05:40] Because currently it looks a little like

[00:05:42] Well, I don't think it's there yet

[00:05:44] Calm down

[00:05:44] Yeah, it's not there

[00:05:45] I'm just

[00:05:45] No, I'm not

[00:05:46] I'm saying out of context

[00:05:49] It's like

[00:05:50] This is like a serial killer's house

[00:05:52] With just a bunch of stuffed animals lined up on the wall

[00:05:55] So

[00:05:55] What does that say about me?

[00:05:56] Do you have a wall like this?

[00:05:58] No, but it sure would be nice

[00:06:01] Yeah, but you would add some other stuff

[00:06:03] All I'm saying is that

[00:06:03] This looks like it's missing a little something

[00:06:06] It's beautiful

[00:06:06] So thank you, Sylvia

[00:06:07] I will put these photos

[00:06:09] And try to put the video on Instagram as well

[00:06:12] I've got an email from David Hatfield

[00:06:14] David says

[00:06:14] My friend who works at Lowe's

[00:06:16] Tells me they have

[00:06:17] Six foot animatronic nutcrackers in the back

[00:06:21] That they haven't put together and put out yet

[00:06:23] I don't know if you've heard of this yet

[00:06:24] But I'm letting you guys know

[00:06:25] To keep an eye out in case you haven't

[00:06:27] I have seen the over nine foot tall Bumble personally

[00:06:31] And he is beautiful

[00:06:33] Man, I gotta be honest, Scott

[00:06:34] It feels like

[00:06:35] I know we're early here

[00:06:36] But this feels like this year's

[00:06:38] Home Depot Christmas tree

[00:06:40] That went viral last year

[00:06:42] Remember that

[00:06:43] This

[00:06:43] I feel like I've heard

[00:06:45] And seen so much

[00:06:47] About this Bumble

[00:06:47] I have to get over to the Lowe's

[00:06:50] And check out this Bumble

[00:06:51] It looks wonderful

[00:06:52] My biggest concern

[00:06:53] Is I'm gonna wanna buy it

[00:06:56] And it is a

[00:06:57] It's 500 some odd dollars

[00:06:59] Yeah, that's gonna be tough

[00:06:59] That's gonna be tough

[00:07:00] But

[00:07:00] Yeah, just give your wallet

[00:07:01] To your wife

[00:07:02] And go over

[00:07:03] I did check it out

[00:07:04] I've checked it out several times

[00:07:05] My daughter Emma was with me

[00:07:07] She loves the thing too

[00:07:08] Now it looks huge next to me

[00:07:10] It looks extra huge

[00:07:12] Next to a 6th grader

[00:07:14] So it's great

[00:07:14] But it is meant for the outdoors

[00:07:16] It doesn't specifically say that

[00:07:18] But it's 9 feet tall

[00:07:19] Yeah, I just

[00:07:20] I still would like somebody

[00:07:21] To explain how this

[00:07:23] Isn't going to get ruined outdoors

[00:07:26] It's not like a plushie

[00:07:27] It looks like it could be

[00:07:29] Outdoor fur

[00:07:31] But it would still be kind of gross

[00:07:33] After it rained

[00:07:34] It's white

[00:07:35] Yeah

[00:07:35] It is fuzzy

[00:07:37] It just seems like a disaster

[00:07:39] Waiting to happen

[00:07:40] Totally agree

[00:07:41] And I did make it over to Home Depot

[00:07:43] I saw some very tall

[00:07:45] Animatronic nutcrackers

[00:07:46] I don't know if they're the same item

[00:07:48] But the arms moved on it

[00:07:50] That was very cool

[00:07:51] Oh my gosh

[00:07:51] They also

[00:07:52] Brian, I forgot to tell you about this

[00:07:53] They have a Buddy the Elf

[00:07:55] Ooh

[00:07:55] That's life-sized

[00:07:57] And it looks human

[00:07:59] And you can push the button

[00:08:00] And it talks

[00:08:01] And it has Buddy's voice

[00:08:02] It's a little uncanny valley

[00:08:04] With the facial features

[00:08:06] And the eyes and stuff

[00:08:07] But I thought it was pretty awesome

[00:08:08] That's great

[00:08:09] I love that

[00:08:10] And I meant to send you a picture

[00:08:12] But I forgot

[00:08:12] But I'm going to be making a vlog this year

[00:08:15] About my Christmas decorations

[00:08:17] I'm switching over to color lights outside

[00:08:20] And I'm going to do a whole thing

[00:08:22] And I got

[00:08:23] The hurricane came through the area

[00:08:26] And then that night

[00:08:27] You know, don't worry

[00:08:28] They're still delivering stuff

[00:08:29] I had a bunch of stuff

[00:08:32] On my porch

[00:08:33] And I was like

[00:08:34] You know what?

[00:08:35] It's a pretty good end of the day

[00:08:37] You know, that's kind of ironic

[00:08:38] That you don't have power

[00:08:39] All the stuff in your fridge is spoiled

[00:08:41] No school

[00:08:42] Here comes the UPS delivery person

[00:08:45] Here they come

[00:08:46] Here's nine boxes for you

[00:08:48] Don't worry

[00:08:48] I've got an email from Angela Moss

[00:08:50] Angela says

[00:08:50] There's a brand new Christmas celebration

[00:08:52] In Kansas City, Missouri

[00:08:53] That I haven't heard you talk about yet

[00:08:55] It's called

[00:08:56] The Hallmark Christmas Experience

[00:08:58] Kansas City is the headquarters

[00:09:00] Of the Hallmark Empire

[00:09:01] Where the cards began

[00:09:02] They are bringing all sorts of things to see

[00:09:04] And do each weekend

[00:09:05] Starting on November 29th

[00:09:07] I've attached a photo of a flyer

[00:09:09] They have in Crown Center

[00:09:10] Crown Center is the area

[00:09:12] That they own with hotels, food, shopping

[00:09:14] And their corporate building

[00:09:15] Thank you for all you do

[00:09:17] To keep the spirit alive

[00:09:18] All year long

[00:09:19] I've got a photo of this

[00:09:20] That I'll put up too

[00:09:21] Bryn, are you familiar with this thing?

[00:09:23] I am familiar with this thing

[00:09:24] It is interesting for sure

[00:09:27] They have different Hallmark actors

[00:09:28] Coming in for each weekend

[00:09:30] Oh cool

[00:09:31] And so like the market itself

[00:09:34] My understanding of the market itself

[00:09:36] Is free to go into

[00:09:37] And then once you want to do more of the

[00:09:39] You know like the meet the people stuff

[00:09:41] It's obviously cost money

[00:09:42] But it's cool to see Hallmark

[00:09:45] Getting in on the action here

[00:09:46] They also have their cruises

[00:09:48] That are going out in the next few weeks

[00:09:50] So they're getting into this whole

[00:09:53] Like convention scene

[00:09:54] Very cool

[00:09:55] Which is interesting

[00:09:56] And also like

[00:09:58] What does that mean for the future of Christmas Con?

[00:10:00] Is Hallmark going to be

[00:10:01] The big company that comes in

[00:10:03] And squashes the small town convention

[00:10:06] With their big city convention?

[00:10:09] I don't know

[00:10:09] We'll find out

[00:10:10] Very meta

[00:10:10] And the last email from Brianne Cummings

[00:10:12] Brianne says

[00:10:13] Hello Brianne, Scott, Shannon

[00:10:14] And all the morning people

[00:10:15] I needed some self-care

[00:10:17] So I ran to HomeGoods

[00:10:19] Snuck behind the Halloween displays

[00:10:21] Was a vast Christmas display

[00:10:22] I was giddy

[00:10:23] And I took a quick video

[00:10:24] For your viewing pleasure

[00:10:25] I'll put that up on Instagram

[00:10:27] Very fun

[00:10:28] Thank you, Brianne

[00:10:29] I love that

[00:10:30] Not only is she

[00:10:31] She's doing the hard work here

[00:10:33] She's not just looking

[00:10:34] She's looking behind things

[00:10:35] Yeah

[00:10:36] She's trying to make sure

[00:10:37] That the Christmas stuff

[00:10:38] Is ready to go

[00:10:39] And I appreciate that

[00:10:40] How are we doing

[00:10:41] In the review department?

[00:10:42] We got one

[00:10:43] Oh, thank goodness

[00:10:44] We got one

[00:10:45] So you take a week off

[00:10:47] I know

[00:10:47] Not by your choice

[00:10:48] And we get a review

[00:10:49] Well, and this review's

[00:10:51] Review

[00:10:53] This reviewer's review

[00:10:54] Is essentially like

[00:10:56] Please stop

[00:10:56] This

[00:10:57] Nonsense

[00:10:58] Ah, okay

[00:10:58] This is nickname

[00:10:59] Already taken

[00:11:00] They say

[00:11:01] That's all I can stand

[00:11:02] I can't stand no more

[00:11:04] I can't sit idly by

[00:11:06] And hear you guys announce

[00:11:07] That no new reviews

[00:11:08] Have been received

[00:11:09] This show is too much fun

[00:11:11] And too good

[00:11:12] A thing

[00:11:13] For us Christmas lovers

[00:11:15] For it not to be

[00:11:17] Getting more love

[00:11:18] In the review section

[00:11:19] Thank you all

[00:11:20] Involved in the show

[00:11:21] That keeps us

[00:11:22] Enjoying the season

[00:11:23] All year long

[00:11:24] Thank you so much

[00:11:25] Nickname

[00:11:26] Already taken

[00:11:27] Yeah

[00:11:27] Now remember

[00:11:28] This is not just

[00:11:29] A vanity project

[00:11:30] It's not just that

[00:11:30] Brandon and I

[00:11:31] Want to hear

[00:11:31] Our reviews

[00:11:33] We want other people

[00:11:34] To find the show

[00:11:35] That is our goal

[00:11:37] And we're not

[00:11:38] 100% clear

[00:11:39] On how Johnny iTunes

[00:11:40] And Tim Apple work

[00:11:41] Maybe Tim Cook

[00:11:42] Sits there

[00:11:43] And actually looks

[00:11:44] And says

[00:11:44] Oh, Christmas morning podcast

[00:11:46] Got another review

[00:11:47] Better boost him up

[00:11:47] In the rankings

[00:11:48] I don't know

[00:11:49] I don't work there

[00:11:50] But I do just want to say this

[00:11:51] We have evidence

[00:11:52] Scott

[00:11:53] That the reviews

[00:11:55] Do matter

[00:11:55] Because year after year

[00:11:57] We see more people

[00:11:58] Finding the show

[00:11:59] And sure

[00:12:01] Some of them

[00:12:01] Find it on Google

[00:12:02] Some of them

[00:12:03] Find it on some

[00:12:04] Sort of message board

[00:12:05] Spotify

[00:12:05] Whatever

[00:12:06] But some people

[00:12:07] Truly do just

[00:12:08] Search Christmas

[00:12:08] In the podcast app

[00:12:10] On your iPhone

[00:12:11] And the more reviews

[00:12:13] You get

[00:12:13] The easier it is

[00:12:14] For that to pop up

[00:12:15] To the top of the

[00:12:16] The old search there

[00:12:17] And that's how a lot

[00:12:18] Of people find us

[00:12:19] Scott

[00:12:19] Yeah

[00:12:20] Remember

[00:12:20] We've picked all

[00:12:21] The low hanging fruit

[00:12:22] All those people

[00:12:23] Have been found

[00:12:24] Now we're going to

[00:12:25] Really start reaching

[00:12:26] To find new people

[00:12:27] That's right

[00:12:27] And we're about to

[00:12:28] Head into our

[00:12:29] Busy season

[00:12:30] We're getting

[00:12:31] Closer and closer

[00:12:31] In November

[00:12:32] And we would love

[00:12:33] I know a lot of people

[00:12:34] Take the year off

[00:12:36] And then they come back

[00:12:37] During the holiday season

[00:12:37] Which we're excited about

[00:12:38] We would love for

[00:12:39] More and more people

[00:12:39] To be joining the party

[00:12:41] Become more and more

[00:12:42] To the growing base

[00:12:44] Of morning people

[00:12:45] Scotty

[00:12:45] That's right

[00:12:45] Hey do you want to hear a joke

[00:12:47] I need one

[00:12:48] Okay

[00:12:49] Who is Santa's

[00:12:50] Favorite cartoon character

[00:12:52] Who is Santa's

[00:12:53] Favorite cartoon character

[00:12:55] Um

[00:12:56] Bugs

[00:12:58] Close

[00:12:59] Okay

[00:13:00] Daffy

[00:13:01] Daffy's not a bug

[00:13:04] Famously

[00:13:04] Okay

[00:13:05] He's a duck

[00:13:05] I'm going to go with

[00:13:06] Bugs

[00:13:07] Snow bunny

[00:13:09] Um

[00:13:09] I would go with

[00:13:11] Chiminy cricket

[00:13:12] Waka waka

[00:13:14] I know

[00:13:16] Oh boy

[00:13:18] Oh boy

[00:13:20] Here's the countdown

[00:13:27] 77 days until Christmas

[00:13:32] 77

[00:13:33] Holy smokes

[00:13:34] You missed two weeks

[00:13:35] And you come back

[00:13:37] And you're like

[00:13:37] Oh wow

[00:13:38] We're here now

[00:13:39] Yeah and all of a sudden

[00:13:40] You're in single digits

[00:13:41] What had happened here

[00:13:42] 11 weeks until Christmas

[00:13:44] We're under 12

[00:13:45] That's bonkers

[00:13:47] I can't believe it

[00:13:48] Oh I know

[00:13:49] And we're obviously

[00:13:50] Way past October 1st

[00:13:51] In my

[00:13:52] When my notes get generated

[00:13:53] For me

[00:13:54] It says negative

[00:13:55] However many days

[00:13:56] So okay

[00:13:57] We're not doing that anymore

[00:13:57] Uh

[00:13:58] But how many days

[00:13:59] Until uh

[00:14:00] November 1st

[00:14:01] I guess would be

[00:14:01] The next

[00:14:02] The next big thing

[00:14:03] Well I don't know

[00:14:04] What's today

[00:14:04] The 9th

[00:14:05] I don't know

[00:14:05] It's probably about

[00:14:06] 21 days

[00:14:06] Somewhere in there

[00:14:07] Three weeks

[00:14:08] That people are wondering

[00:14:09] How many days

[00:14:10] Until we go daily

[00:14:11] Scotty

[00:14:12] It's happening

[00:14:13] People are wondering

[00:14:13] Where the Halloween episodes are

[00:14:15] We gotta talk about that

[00:14:16] Pretty soon

[00:14:17] Okay guys

[00:14:18] We've promised nothing

[00:14:19] Aside from that

[00:14:21] There might be

[00:14:21] Something happening

[00:14:22] Uh

[00:14:23] We'll put out

[00:14:24] Some sort of Halloween show

[00:14:26] At some point

[00:14:26] We got a whole month

[00:14:27] At this point

[00:14:28] It's looking like

[00:14:29] One big massive

[00:14:30] Long Halloween evening episode

[00:14:33] Is probably the most

[00:14:34] Realistic thing to happen

[00:14:35] People have sent in

[00:14:36] Wonderful stuff

[00:14:37] Maybe it'll just be

[00:14:38] One big party

[00:14:39] Halloween episode

[00:14:40] I have no idea

[00:14:41] We had a hurricane

[00:14:41] You

[00:14:42] Yes

[00:14:42] We

[00:14:42] First of all

[00:14:43] Everybody

[00:14:44] Give me a little bit

[00:14:45] Of grace here

[00:14:46] But two

[00:14:47] We just gotta

[00:14:47] You and I

[00:14:48] Just we need to get together

[00:14:49] We need to figure out

[00:14:49] How much stuff we have

[00:14:50] Realistically

[00:14:51] Like we don't want to do

[00:14:52] One every week

[00:14:52] If we only got like

[00:14:53] One email

[00:14:54] And one thing

[00:14:55] So we'll figure it out

[00:14:57] Something is going to happen

[00:14:58] We promise

[00:14:59] We'll put out at least

[00:14:59] One Halloween episode

[00:15:01] Okay

[00:15:01] At least one

[00:15:02] We've gone from

[00:15:03] Four to two

[00:15:05] To one

[00:15:06] Guys

[00:15:07] Hey it can't go under one

[00:15:08] It can't go under

[00:15:09] Well we could

[00:15:10] But we won't

[00:15:11] We're not gonna

[00:15:12] We will put out one

[00:15:12] Yes

[00:15:13] That's right

[00:15:14] I got some news

[00:15:15] If you want

[00:15:15] Oh

[00:15:15] And I know what this news is

[00:15:17] And I can't wait to hear it

[00:15:23] Today is October 9th

[00:15:26] 2024

[00:15:27] And here is the news

[00:15:29] Sounds like he's gearing up

[00:15:31] For the season

[00:15:32] My goodness

[00:15:32] He didn't like that competition

[00:15:34] Last week

[00:15:34] No he did not

[00:15:37] Scotty

[00:15:37] You sent this to me

[00:15:39] And I'm thrilled

[00:15:40] I'm thrilled about this

[00:15:41] Oh I'm thrilled too

[00:15:42] I think everybody nationwide

[00:15:44] Knows about Spirit Halloween

[00:15:46] They come in

[00:15:47] They come in

[00:15:47] To your abandoned buildings

[00:15:49] And they set up

[00:15:51] Shop

[00:15:51] That's right

[00:15:51] Your former circuit city

[00:15:53] Your former borders

[00:15:54] Books and music

[00:15:55] Your K-marts

[00:15:56] Your bylos

[00:15:58] All sorts of stuff

[00:16:00] And they come in

[00:16:01] For a month

[00:16:02] Two months

[00:16:02] As Spirit Halloween

[00:16:04] Well the good news is

[00:16:05] Everybody

[00:16:06] Is that

[00:16:07] Some

[00:16:08] A very limited number

[00:16:09] This year

[00:16:10] But some Spirit Halloweens

[00:16:12] Will become

[00:16:14] Spirit Christmas

[00:16:16] That's right

[00:16:17] Spirit Christmas

[00:16:18] Everything you know

[00:16:20] And I guess love

[00:16:21] About Spirit Halloween

[00:16:22] It's going to be

[00:16:23] Turned on its head

[00:16:24] And it's going to be

[00:16:25] All Christmas

[00:16:26] All the time

[00:16:28] Once Halloween ends

[00:16:30] For a limited run of stores

[00:16:33] Ten stores

[00:16:34] Ten stores

[00:16:35] Right

[00:16:35] A handful

[00:16:36] A few

[00:16:37] I'm sorry

[00:16:37] A few in New Jersey

[00:16:38] A few in New York

[00:16:40] Pennsylvania's in there

[00:16:41] One in Mass

[00:16:42] One in Connecticut

[00:16:42] And there you go

[00:16:43] But I think it's important to know

[00:16:45] This is a trial run

[00:16:47] If it goes well

[00:16:48] You can see

[00:16:50] Your weird

[00:16:51] Spirit Halloween

[00:16:53] Abandoned building

[00:16:54] Turn to a Spirit Christmas

[00:16:56] Maybe next year

[00:16:57] So if you're in an area

[00:16:59] That Spirit's Halloween is in

[00:17:01] And you see it

[00:17:02] Turn to Spirit Christmas

[00:17:03] Run

[00:17:04] Don't walk

[00:17:05] Because we're relying on you

[00:17:07] The folks in South Carolina

[00:17:09] The folks in Colorado

[00:17:10] Where we're not getting this privilege

[00:17:12] We're relying on you

[00:17:14] It is going to be

[00:17:15] You know

[00:17:16] Exactly what you expect

[00:17:17] A lot of Christmas stuff

[00:17:18] There's going to be Santa

[00:17:20] There's going to be

[00:17:21] All sorts of decorations

[00:17:22] All sorts of Christmas stuff

[00:17:24] To get you in the Spirit

[00:17:25] Spirit Halloween operates

[00:17:26] 1500 stores nationwide

[00:17:28] So this is a very

[00:17:29] Wow, I didn't realize

[00:17:30] It was that many

[00:17:31] It is a very

[00:17:33] Small amount

[00:17:34] But we'll see what happens

[00:17:37] But listen

[00:17:37] We all have to make this work

[00:17:39] I know

[00:17:39] That's the thing

[00:17:40] Everybody's got to be cool here

[00:17:41] And if you're a morning person

[00:17:42] In the area

[00:17:43] Where these 10 stores are

[00:17:45] Please go

[00:17:45] I want pictures

[00:17:46] I want videos

[00:17:47] I'm being greedy

[00:17:48] I want all the things

[00:17:50] I want to know about this

[00:17:51] I want to

[00:17:51] I want to see what it looks like

[00:17:52] I do too

[00:17:53] Apparently

[00:17:54] And I didn't know this Scotty

[00:17:55] But apparently

[00:17:56] According to the Spirit Halloween wiki

[00:17:59] They've done this before

[00:18:00] What?

[00:18:00] In the early 90s

[00:18:02] They did something called

[00:18:03] Spirit Christmas

[00:18:04] And in the mid 2000s

[00:18:06] They did something called

[00:18:07] Holiday Spirits

[00:18:08] So, you know

[00:18:08] I want to know some

[00:18:09] Very specific things

[00:18:10] Like does it start to transition

[00:18:12] Right around Halloween

[00:18:14] Or November 1st

[00:18:16] Do they take all of the

[00:18:17] Halloween stuff

[00:18:18] Throw it in the wood chipper

[00:18:19] And make festive Christmas

[00:18:20] Confetti out of it

[00:18:21] I don't know

[00:18:21] I can only make a guess

[00:18:23] But I want to see

[00:18:24] What this looks like

[00:18:25] The only thing that I do know

[00:18:27] Is that they're offering

[00:18:28] Free digital photos

[00:18:29] With Santa

[00:18:30] November 29th

[00:18:31] To December 24th

[00:18:32] So I don't know

[00:18:33] I don't know

[00:18:34] If November 29th

[00:18:35] Is the opening day

[00:18:36] I don't know

[00:18:36] If they need like

[00:18:37] You know

[00:18:38] Some time to get rid

[00:18:38] Of all the Halloween stuff

[00:18:39] I'm not sure

[00:18:40] But just know

[00:18:41] That it's happening

[00:18:42] Be out on the lookout

[00:18:42] If you're in

[00:18:43] The New Jersey

[00:18:44] New York area

[00:18:46] Upstate

[00:18:46] New York it appears

[00:18:48] Please

[00:18:48] Be on the lookout for us

[00:18:50] And those mall Santa photos

[00:18:51] Are pretty expensive

[00:18:52] They are

[00:18:53] Now, of course

[00:18:54] It's very expensive

[00:18:55] To run those things

[00:18:56] I'm not blaming them

[00:18:57] For that

[00:18:57] But for some people

[00:18:58] It's out of reach

[00:19:00] Financially for them

[00:19:01] So a place that offers

[00:19:02] Free photos

[00:19:03] I think maybe

[00:19:04] Bass Pro Shops does

[00:19:05] I was gonna say

[00:19:07] Last year we went

[00:19:07] To Bass Pro Shop

[00:19:08] Yeah, because it's like

[00:19:09] 60 bucks or more

[00:19:11] Yeah

[00:19:11] To do it

[00:19:12] And I love this

[00:19:13] I love this

[00:19:14] Bass Pro Shop

[00:19:14] So very much

[00:19:15] It's very cool

[00:19:16] Very excited about it

[00:19:17] And please

[00:19:18] If you are in that area

[00:19:19] We would love

[00:19:19] We would love to see

[00:19:20] Oh yeah

[00:19:21] Please

[00:19:21] Make a special trip

[00:19:23] Just for me

[00:19:24] You can call it

[00:19:25] My Christmas present

[00:19:25] But that's not

[00:19:26] Tax deductible

[00:19:27] And listen

[00:19:27] We got a lot

[00:19:28] We got a lot of episodes

[00:19:29] Coming out

[00:19:30] Starting November 1st

[00:19:31] And we need content

[00:19:32] So

[00:19:32] That's very true

[00:19:33] It's true

[00:19:34] It's gonna be you and me

[00:19:35] Twiddling our thumbs

[00:19:36] I think

[00:19:37] You know

[00:19:37] All things

[00:19:38] We've always made it work

[00:19:39] We do a pretty darn good job

[00:19:41] Of doing a daily Christmas show

[00:19:43] I'd like to think so

[00:19:44] Even when our microphone

[00:19:45] Is on the wrong input

[00:19:46] And you are

[00:19:47] Cleaning out your freezer

[00:19:48] Of spoiled food

[00:19:49] We still do a good job

[00:19:50] It was a tough day

[00:19:52] I would have eaten everything

[00:19:53] Just out of principle

[00:19:54] Oh my gosh

[00:19:54] Then you wouldn't be here today

[00:19:56] And then what good would that be

[00:19:57] Let's take a quick break

[00:19:58] Scotty

[00:19:59] We'll come back

[00:19:59] We'll get to the TV listings

[00:20:00] And the battle

[00:20:01] Here on

[00:20:02] Christmas morning

[00:20:07] Welcome back everybody

[00:20:09] It's

[00:20:09] It's Bran

[00:20:10] It's Scott

[00:20:11] It's Christmas morning

[00:20:12] TV Scotty is

[00:20:13] Walking in now

[00:20:14] He's got a bit of a strut

[00:20:16] It appears

[00:20:18] For some TV listings

[00:20:19] Which I would think

[00:20:20] That they would be

[00:20:21] You know

[00:20:22] I was gonna say

[00:20:22] I would think

[00:20:23] They'd be ramping up

[00:20:24] But it makes sense

[00:20:25] Maybe the further

[00:20:25] It'd be less

[00:20:26] Because of Halloween

[00:20:26] So

[00:20:27] But

[00:20:28] TV Scotty

[00:20:28] What are you

[00:20:29] What are you seeing

[00:20:29] In the TV listings

[00:20:30] Right now

[00:20:31] Well

[00:20:31] I can tell you

[00:20:32] That this episode

[00:20:33] Is going very long

[00:20:34] Because we had some

[00:20:35] Chatting to do

[00:20:36] We had some extra emails

[00:20:37] But the TV listings

[00:20:38] Are not gonna take

[00:20:39] Very much time

[00:20:40] I can't tell you

[00:20:41] Why that's happening

[00:20:41] It's gotta be Halloween

[00:20:42] But this is probably

[00:20:43] The short

[00:20:44] This is the shortest

[00:20:45] List I've ever seen

[00:20:46] So

[00:20:46] Here are your

[00:20:47] Quickly abbreviated

[00:21:39] Hallmark

[00:21:40] Coyote Creek Christmas

[00:21:41] And that's all I got

[00:21:42] So

[00:21:42] Wow

[00:21:43] Those are your

[00:21:44] Christmas TV specials

[00:21:45] For the next couple of days

[00:21:46] Courtesy of

[00:21:47] MostlyChristmas.com

[00:21:48] And Bran

[00:21:48] Yeah

[00:21:49] Somebody wrote in

[00:21:50] And said they did not

[00:21:51] Appreciate

[00:21:52] My touch by an angel

[00:21:54] That I did in your stead

[00:21:55] Last week

[00:21:56] What did they feel

[00:21:57] It was disrespectful

[00:21:57] No I think they just

[00:21:59] Thought it was crappy

[00:21:59] Okay well

[00:22:00] And sure

[00:22:01] It was

[00:22:02] That's saying that

[00:22:03] Mine's good

[00:22:03] I thought the whole bit

[00:22:04] Was that they're not good

[00:22:06] Well I think in comparison

[00:22:07] To yours

[00:22:08] Mine is extra bad

[00:22:10] Who was that

[00:22:11] Do you remember

[00:22:12] Nope nope

[00:22:12] Not gonna name names

[00:22:13] Around here

[00:22:14] When you walk

[00:22:17] Down

[00:22:19] Yeah

[00:22:20] See that's what we needed

[00:22:21] That's all we needed

[00:22:22] That's for you

[00:22:22] That's for you

[00:22:23] Thanks for the fan mail

[00:22:24] Or the hate mail

[00:22:25] Depending on how you see it

[00:22:26] No it was

[00:22:27] It was definitely fan mail

[00:22:28] It was just saying

[00:22:29] How much they missed you

[00:22:30] That's all

[00:22:30] That's very sweet

[00:22:30] Let's get to the

[00:22:31] Christmas music battle

[00:22:32] Shall we

[00:22:33] Last week's

[00:22:34] We did a little

[00:22:35] Ding dong

[00:22:36] Merrily on high

[00:22:38] Burp burp burp burp

[00:22:40] Burp burp

[00:22:40] Pretty close battle

[00:22:41] To be honest with you

[00:22:43] This was your choice

[00:22:44] Brand

[00:22:45] Yes

[00:22:45] I think you might not

[00:22:47] Know this was your choice

[00:22:48] I have heard this before

[00:22:50] I picked this

[00:22:51] And said

[00:22:52] Brand how's this one

[00:22:53] Cause we had to have one

[00:22:54] And you were in the midst

[00:22:55] Of much more important stuff

[00:22:57] So I picked this

[00:22:58] On your behalf

[00:22:58] It got 25% of the vote

[00:23:00] And I thought it was pretty good

[00:23:01] I wouldn't intentionally

[00:23:02] Pick a crappy one

[00:23:03] Just for you

[00:23:04] That would be terrible

[00:23:05] Yeah

[00:23:05] This is like

[00:23:07] Ding dong

[00:23:08] Merrily on high

[00:23:08] For someone on

[00:23:09] Like speed or something

[00:23:11] It's like

[00:23:11] That's how

[00:23:12] That's popping

[00:23:12] Yeah

[00:23:13] They've had a whole lot of coffee

[00:23:14] That's right

[00:23:15] Or something there

[00:23:15] That's right

[00:23:16] Second place

[00:23:17] It's ding dong

[00:23:18] Merrily on high

[00:23:18] By

[00:23:19] Funk Astra

[00:23:20] Funk Astra didn't win

[00:23:23] I'm shocked

[00:23:25] On this one

[00:23:26] And it turns out

[00:23:27] This is not the first time

[00:23:29] Funk Astra

[00:23:30] Or Funk Astra

[00:23:31] Has played before

[00:23:33] It was under the name

[00:23:34] Like Red's Funk Astra

[00:23:36] Or something

[00:23:36] But this was brought to us

[00:23:38] By listener Brad Adams

[00:23:39] What an awesome choice

[00:23:41] I love this so much

[00:23:43] My goodness

[00:23:44] My goodness

[00:23:46] Oh well the winner

[00:23:47] Is uh

[00:23:48] I'm disappointed

[00:23:50] In everybody

[00:23:50] Ding dong

[00:23:51] Merrily on high

[00:23:51] My festive instrumentals

[00:23:53] It's nice

[00:23:54] It's nice

[00:23:55] Guys

[00:23:56] Funk Astra

[00:23:57] I know

[00:23:57] But I'm happy for you

[00:23:58] Cause you won Scotty

[00:24:00] This eked out

[00:24:00] Two more votes

[00:24:01] Somehow

[00:24:02] I even voted for Funk Astra

[00:24:04] Because I thought it was so good

[00:24:05] Ha

[00:24:05] But this is pretty great

[00:24:07] And the album is called

[00:24:08] Punk Rock Instrumentals

[00:24:10] Which is now the soundtrack

[00:24:11] To my life

[00:24:12] It's my uh

[00:24:13] Walk up music

[00:24:13] For everything

[00:24:14] As it should be

[00:24:15] Pretty great

[00:24:16] That means

[00:24:17] That means Scotty

[00:24:18] Um

[00:24:18] It is not totally

[00:24:20] I'm

[00:24:20] I'm

[00:24:21] I'm up the creek

[00:24:22] Without a paddle

[00:24:22] At this point

[00:24:23] Um

[00:24:24] But it is now

[00:24:25] Listeners 14

[00:24:26] You Scott

[00:24:27] With 12

[00:24:27] So I think you would have to

[00:24:29] Win out

[00:24:30] Oh my god

[00:24:31] We only have two more weeks

[00:24:32] Right

[00:24:32] That's right

[00:24:33] We have three

[00:24:33] We have

[00:24:34] We have

[00:24:34] 16th

[00:24:35] 23rd

[00:24:35] And 30th

[00:24:36] So if you want to

[00:24:38] End in a

[00:24:39] Uh

[00:24:39] Would that be

[00:24:40] Yeah

[00:24:40] You would win

[00:24:41] If you win the next three

[00:24:42] You would win

[00:24:43] Technically

[00:24:44] I think that's

[00:24:44] Pretty unrealistic

[00:24:45] The best we can hope for

[00:24:47] Is a tie

[00:24:47] And tie would go to the listener

[00:24:49] Whatever

[00:24:49] This is so much fun

[00:24:51] What a great year

[00:24:52] It has been

[00:24:52] I can't believe we're at the end

[00:24:54] Of the

[00:24:54] The regular season

[00:24:55] I know

[00:24:56] It's hard to believe

[00:24:57] But it's been another

[00:24:58] Another fantastic battle

[00:25:00] Um

[00:25:00] Where I will come in last place

[00:25:02] For the second year

[00:25:04] Yeah not really last

[00:25:05] Just third

[00:25:06] Just third

[00:25:06] That's right

[00:25:07] Uh

[00:25:07] Let's get to this week's

[00:25:08] Uh

[00:25:09] First of all

[00:25:09] You got any trivia for us

[00:25:10] I know you've kind of

[00:25:11] Uh

[00:25:11] Normally I don't

[00:25:12] But I

[00:25:13] I racked my brain

[00:25:14] And I said

[00:25:15] I said

[00:25:15] Bran is coming back

[00:25:17] I gotta do something special

[00:25:18] Okay

[00:25:19] So I thought

[00:25:19] I wonder what the most

[00:25:20] Played Christmas song is

[00:25:22] And no surprise

[00:25:23] It's Mariah Carey's

[00:25:25] All I Want for Christmas

[00:25:25] Is You

[00:25:26] According to

[00:25:27] PennLive.com

[00:25:28] All I Want for Christmas

[00:25:29] Is You

[00:25:29] Has been streamed

[00:25:30] 1.5 billion times

[00:25:33] And it is one of

[00:25:34] The most streamed songs

[00:25:35] On Spotify

[00:25:36] But

[00:25:37] Other popular Christmas songs

[00:25:39] Include

[00:25:39] Last Christmas by Wham

[00:25:41] Fairy Tale of New York

[00:25:43] By the Pogues

[00:25:44] And Silent Night

[00:25:45] In the streaming world

[00:25:46] And here's one

[00:25:47] That I thought was

[00:25:48] Really wild

[00:25:49] Bran

[00:25:49] Silent Night

[00:25:50] We know is the most

[00:25:51] Covered Christmas song

[00:25:52] But it says

[00:25:53] According to this article

[00:25:54] There are 26,000

[00:25:56] Different covers on Spotify

[00:25:57] That doesn't sound right

[00:25:58] To me

[00:25:59] Yeah

[00:25:59] But

[00:26:00] That's a lot

[00:26:01] I mean I'm one of them

[00:26:02] I've covered that song

[00:26:03] Oh

[00:26:03] For what it's worth

[00:26:04] I'm one of the 26,000

[00:26:06] So there you go

[00:26:08] All right

[00:26:09] Let's get to it

[00:26:09] We got some original

[00:26:10] Christmas songs

[00:26:12] This week

[00:26:13] And I'm

[00:26:14] Listen

[00:26:14] I'm already thrilled

[00:26:15] I'm already pumped

[00:26:16] Because I'm gonna kick things off

[00:26:18] With a band that got robbed

[00:26:19] Last week

[00:26:20] We're gonna start with

[00:26:22] A Very Funky Christmas

[00:26:24] By Funkastra

[00:27:19] Bran you know

[00:27:20] I play a little bit of bass

[00:27:21] I am not a great

[00:27:23] Slap bass player

[00:27:24] But I absolutely love

[00:27:26] The sound of a slap bass

[00:27:27] That

[00:27:27] That was my slap bass impression

[00:27:31] You know what's most

[00:27:32] Impressive about that

[00:27:34] Scotty

[00:27:34] Is you don't hear a lot of

[00:27:35] Original instrumental

[00:27:37] Christmas songs

[00:27:38] No you don't

[00:27:39] It is kind of a bold thing

[00:27:40] Now that you're

[00:27:40] Thinking

[00:27:40] Now that you're mentioning it

[00:27:41] Bringing an instrument

[00:27:42] On original week

[00:27:44] Is bold

[00:27:44] Kudos to

[00:27:45] Kudos to them

[00:27:46] And kudos to

[00:27:47] Whoever brought it

[00:27:48] Up next we have

[00:27:49] My Baby Looks a Lot Like

[00:27:50] Santa Claus

[00:27:51] By Sheeps

[00:27:56] Baby looks a lot

[00:27:57] Like Santa Claus

[00:27:58] The big red boy

[00:27:59] Is the probable cause

[00:28:01] But swear to me

[00:28:02] Boo

[00:28:03] You didn't do

[00:28:04] Nothing you shouldn't do

[00:28:05] Cause every single

[00:28:07] How'd you get pregnant

[00:28:18] When I got no closure

[00:28:22] Why my babies look like

[00:28:24] Old Saint Nick

[00:28:25] I'm going spare

[00:28:26] I shouldn't care

[00:28:27] I'm a dad

[00:28:27] She got me feeling

[00:28:28] Like an au pair

[00:28:29] I swear

[00:28:30] If my baby says hope

[00:28:53] Well that filth is over

[00:28:54] What is going on there?

[00:28:57] Smuts

[00:28:57] Pure smuts

[00:28:59] But I will say

[00:29:00] If there's going to be

[00:29:01] Smut on Christmas morning

[00:29:02] It's got to be as catchy as that

[00:29:04] Cause that was pretty catchy

[00:29:05] Yeah that was pretty good

[00:29:06] I like that

[00:29:07] Minus the word

[00:29:09] That had to be bleeped out there

[00:29:10] My Santa Claus

[00:29:13] What a thing to do

[00:29:15] I love that

[00:29:16] Up next we have

[00:29:17] We could have this

[00:29:19] Featuring

[00:29:20] I'm sorry

[00:29:20] It's by Ben Folds

[00:29:22] Featuring Lindsay Craft

[00:29:23] The Ben Folds

[00:29:24] Apparently

[00:29:25] I never cared for snow

[00:29:35] But gosh

[00:29:36] I love the snow

[00:29:37] Now we're

[00:29:38] Oh I knew that you

[00:29:48] Existed

[00:29:50] Another holiday

[00:29:52] And we're still here

[00:29:53] Not quite together yet

[00:29:56] But we are growing nearer

[00:29:58] But for time

[00:29:59] And space

[00:30:00] And lives

[00:30:02] Arrange

[00:30:03] The joy

[00:30:04] And pain

[00:30:07] Thinking we

[00:30:09] I've been freezing cold

[00:30:17] A sleeping bag

[00:30:18] Outside your door

[00:30:20] A few Christmases

[00:30:25] It seemed so out of reach

[00:30:26] But now it's just

[00:30:28] Oh

[00:30:28] Yep that's Ben Folds

[00:30:33] Alright

[00:30:34] Yeah it's hard to

[00:30:35] Hard to not hear him

[00:30:36] But how about that

[00:30:37] He does

[00:30:37] I guess this is from his

[00:30:38] Upcoming Christmas album

[00:30:39] Slayer

[00:30:40] Which is

[00:30:40] Sounds like a metal album

[00:30:42] But as a Ben Folds fan

[00:30:45] I'm excited about

[00:30:46] His Christmas album

[00:30:47] I like Ben Folds

[00:30:48] You gotta be in the right mood

[00:30:48] For Ben Folds

[00:30:49] For sure

[00:30:50] For sure

[00:30:50] You gotta be a little melancholy

[00:30:52] A little down

[00:30:52] Yeah a little melancholy

[00:30:53] And a little like

[00:30:54] Because if you're not

[00:30:54] You're gonna be

[00:30:55] Yeah that's right

[00:30:56] You wanna already be sad

[00:30:59] That's right

[00:30:59] Before you dive into that

[00:31:00] But that was nice

[00:31:01] That was very sweet

[00:31:02] We could have this

[00:31:03] Yes

[00:31:04] And you can

[00:31:05] We could have votes

[00:31:06] Scotty

[00:31:07] We could

[00:31:07] We could have votes

[00:31:08] If you wanna vote

[00:31:08] You can vote right now

[00:31:09] Link is in the description

[00:31:11] You can vote between

[00:31:12] Those three original tracks

[00:31:14] And again

[00:31:15] This is a big one

[00:31:16] Try to think through

[00:31:17] Which one is Scotty's

[00:31:19] And vote for

[00:31:20] Any of the other ones

[00:31:21] So that Scotty doesn't come

[00:31:22] What?

[00:31:23] People have already done that

[00:31:24] We got listener submissions

[00:31:25] This week from

[00:31:26] Drew Basic

[00:31:27] Lenora Gilbert

[00:31:27] David Scarborough

[00:31:28] Jack Unverforth

[00:31:29] Brad Adams

[00:31:30] Tia Horn

[00:31:30] And Lance Garman

[00:31:31] If we were making

[00:31:33] A Christmas morning

[00:31:34] Baseball team

[00:31:34] Those would be my people

[00:31:35] There

[00:31:36] Every week

[00:31:37] You all are rock solid

[00:31:38] Sending things in

[00:31:40] And I appreciate it so much

[00:31:41] Thank you

[00:31:41] You know what I'm excited about

[00:31:42] For next week

[00:31:43] It's the instrumental week

[00:31:45] And so I wonder if we'll hear

[00:31:46] For the third straight week

[00:31:48] Funkestra

[00:31:48] I think

[00:31:49] You think they'll come back?

[00:31:50] I wanna hear Funkestra

[00:31:51] Just because

[00:31:53] Our hands are tied here

[00:31:54] Our hands are tied

[00:31:55] One way or another

[00:31:56] Between the listeners

[00:31:57] Bran or Scott

[00:31:58] Funkestra

[00:31:58] Will be represented

[00:32:00] I guarantee it

[00:32:01] There's nothing we can do

[00:32:02] It's a very funky Christmas

[00:32:03] I don't know what to tell you

[00:32:05] So send in your instrumentals

[00:32:08] Scour the band camps

[00:32:09] And find them

[00:32:10] We only got a few weeks left

[00:32:12] For the listeners

[00:32:13] To play with us

[00:32:15] In this regard

[00:32:16] Scotty

[00:32:16] Because once we go

[00:32:17] Daily in November

[00:32:18] It becomes a personal battle

[00:32:19] Between you and I

[00:32:20] Just based solely

[00:32:22] On how much

[00:32:22] We're having to do

[00:32:23] And push out

[00:32:24] It is very difficult

[00:32:26] To bring the listeners

[00:32:26] In on that

[00:32:27] We have five concurrent

[00:32:28] Polls running

[00:32:29] Or something

[00:32:29] It's just no

[00:32:30] I know

[00:32:30] It's the best

[00:32:31] But I like

[00:32:32] You and I

[00:32:33] In a personal battle

[00:32:34] It's a fun

[00:32:35] Holiday tradition

[00:32:37] That we have here

[00:32:38] On Christmas morning

[00:32:39] And how are we going to do that

[00:32:40] Are we going to pick

[00:32:40] 20 songs a month

[00:32:42] Or something

[00:32:43] Yeah I mean

[00:32:43] Well I think

[00:32:44] The last two

[00:32:46] Or I think

[00:32:47] Every year

[00:32:48] We've basically done

[00:32:48] The same basic

[00:32:50] Batch of songs

[00:32:50] We just

[00:32:51] I look up

[00:32:52] The most popular songs

[00:32:53] And we just do those

[00:32:55] So let's spruce it up

[00:32:56] Okay

[00:32:56] I think we can spruce it up

[00:32:58] A little bit too

[00:32:58] We could throw in

[00:32:59] A couple fun ones

[00:33:00] Like let's do a parody song

[00:33:01] On Friday

[00:33:02] Or let's do

[00:33:03] You know

[00:33:03] Something like that

[00:33:04] I like that of course

[00:33:05] Yeah and I think we

[00:33:06] I think we also did

[00:33:07] Like I think on Tuesdays

[00:33:09] Was an original

[00:33:10] And Wednesday was

[00:33:11] Instrumental as well

[00:33:12] Last year

[00:33:12] I'll have to go back

[00:33:13] And see what we did

[00:33:13] If you have any ideas

[00:33:15] For you know

[00:33:17] What you think

[00:33:18] Would be a good

[00:33:19] Battle

[00:33:20] Whether it just be

[00:33:21] A theme

[00:33:21] Or something like that

[00:33:22] That you would like

[00:33:22] To hear during the

[00:33:23] Holiday season

[00:33:24] Let us know

[00:33:25] Can't wait

[00:33:26] I'm actually really

[00:33:27] Excited for it

[00:33:28] It's a lot of work

[00:33:28] It's a lot of episodes

[00:33:29] To edit

[00:33:30] But it's so worth it

[00:33:31] It's like running

[00:33:32] A marathon

[00:33:32] By the time you're done

[00:33:33] You say that was exhausting

[00:33:34] But look what we accomplished

[00:33:36] Can't wait

[00:33:36] Look at us

[00:33:37] Look at us

[00:33:39] We are going to be back

[00:33:40] Next week with another one

[00:33:41] And then we'll be back

[00:33:42] With our Halloween episode

[00:33:43] At some point

[00:33:44] That's right

[00:33:45] Just chill

[00:33:47] Okay

[00:33:47] Just chill

[00:33:48] Might be in place

[00:33:50] Of the party episode

[00:33:50] I don't know

[00:33:51] But if that's the case

[00:33:53] We could get Shannon

[00:33:54] That's a pretty good idea

[00:33:54] That would be great

[00:33:55] It's maybe one of the best

[00:33:56] I think Shannon

[00:33:57] Would be a good Halloween person

[00:33:58] We'll find out

[00:33:59] We'll be back next time

[00:34:00] With another one

[00:34:00] Until then

[00:34:01] Merry Christmas

[00:34:13] You're about to hear

[00:34:16] To the North Pole

[00:34:18] Feel free to bail now

[00:34:19] But either way
