[00:00:23] Here for you and me

[00:00:26] I gotta be honest, you know, we're one weekend

[00:00:28] Hi, welcome to Christmas Morning

[00:00:29] We're one weekend to our new theme song, Scotty

[00:00:31] And when do you do a show for four straight years

[00:00:36] Using the same song

[00:00:38] When you do a new song

[00:00:39] It throws you for a loop every time you hear it for a while

[00:00:42] This song has been stuck in my head

[00:00:44] It's like the Scotty and Bramble

[00:00:48] It works

[00:00:49] It does

[00:00:50] It works

[00:00:50] It's so great

[00:00:51] I couldn't have asked for anything better

[00:00:53] We didn't give any direction

[00:00:54] And we got really lucky

[00:00:56] That's right

[00:00:56] Welcome to our Friday edition of Christmas Morning

[00:00:59] The final episode of the first week of daily episodes

[00:01:03] Now until Christmas

[00:01:06] You can join us every Monday through Friday here on Christmas Morning

[00:01:09] To help get you ready for the holiday season

[00:01:12] And Scotty, I'm ready already because of how many amazing messages we've gotten

[00:01:17] But I'll always take another message

[00:01:19] Absolutely

[00:01:20] And this one's pretty fun too

[00:01:22] So let's open up that mailbag

[00:01:24] Let's do it

[00:01:24] Letters

[00:01:25] We get letters

[00:01:26] We get stacks and stacks of letters

[00:01:31] This email is from Sarah Todd

[00:01:33] Sarah says

[00:01:33] Good morning guys

[00:01:34] After listening to the September Christmas Party episode

[00:01:37] I wanted to share with you a few things I thought you might enjoy

[00:01:40] For listeners in New York and Vermont

[00:01:42] We have a beloved convenience store chain that sells eggnog all year round

[00:01:48] And it is truly phenomenal eggnog

[00:01:51] Stewart's Shops is a local ice cream spot

[00:01:53] But I am known to pick up an eggnog throughout the year when I'm feeling in the spirit

[00:01:57] First of all, that sounds fantastic

[00:02:00] Who doesn't want eggnog in June?

[00:02:03] I mean, I don't

[00:02:04] But I know that eggnog lovers would

[00:02:07] So it works, yeah

[00:02:08] You don't like the texture of eggnog

[00:02:09] That's your thing?

[00:02:10] It's a texture thing for me, yeah

[00:02:11] Yeah, it's like drinking batter

[00:02:12] Have you ever had it as ice cream though?

[00:02:15] That's fantastic

[00:02:16] I can imagine that would work

[00:02:17] Yeah

[00:02:17] It's not the flavor

[00:02:18] Yeah, if you like the flavor

[00:02:20] Oh man, that's good

[00:02:21] Okay, Sarah goes on to say

[00:02:23] When you guys were discussing advent calendars

[00:02:25] There is one that really would not ship well

[00:02:27] But I thought you might enjoy it

[00:02:29] Aldi makes a cheese advent calendar

[00:02:31] That is really something to look forward to

[00:02:33] Last year, I got one for both November and December

[00:02:36] Because who doesn't want a piece of cheese every day for two months?

[00:02:39] My kids and I look forward to listening every week

[00:02:42] It really brightens up the midweek lull

[00:02:44] Well, first, good news, Sarah

[00:02:46] No midweek lull right now

[00:02:47] It's an every single day thing

[00:02:49] But you know that by this point

[00:02:51] Yeah

[00:02:51] Cheese advent calendar brand

[00:02:53] I like this idea

[00:02:55] I like it a lot

[00:02:57] I like the idea

[00:02:59] You know, should we be eating cheese

[00:03:01] Every day

[00:03:02] Well, I do

[00:03:02] Some would argue

[00:03:03] Our bodies weren't meant for it

[00:03:05] And I would argue

[00:03:07] What were our bodies meant for, really?

[00:03:09] If not for putting it through

[00:03:10] A lot of torment

[00:03:12] Hunting and dying at 30

[00:03:14] So

[00:03:14] That's right

[00:03:15] Whatever

[00:03:17] On this cheese thing, though

[00:03:18] Yeah

[00:03:19] What I'm not sure

[00:03:20] Is

[00:03:21] Are these shelf-stable cheeses?

[00:03:23] Because sometimes you see those

[00:03:24] Has to be, right?

[00:03:25] Sometimes you see them

[00:03:26] At, you know, like

[00:03:27] If it's not in the refrigerated section

[00:03:28] It's obviously shelf-stable

[00:03:29] I don't like shelf-stable cheese

[00:03:31] I think it's just god-awful

[00:03:33] That's fair

[00:03:34] I

[00:03:34] I'm

[00:03:35] I think I'm

[00:03:36] I'm trying to rack my brain

[00:03:38] For any shelf-stable cheese

[00:03:39] You know, I think the one

[00:03:40] They come in gift baskets and stuff

[00:03:42] This time of year

[00:03:43] Uh-uh

[00:03:44] Because it's all

[00:03:45] It always seems to taste like

[00:03:46] The cheese and crackers

[00:03:49] That you get with the little red

[00:03:50] It's not even a spoon

[00:03:51] It's like a rectangle

[00:03:52] Yeah

[00:03:53] It always tastes like that weird

[00:03:54] Plastic pasteurized cheese

[00:03:56] That's in there

[00:03:57] And I just don't like it

[00:03:58] But what I could do

[00:03:59] Is I could cut 30 pieces of cheese

[00:04:01] And just individually put them

[00:04:03] In something in my fridge

[00:04:04] And just number them

[00:04:05] And say, yep

[00:04:06] This is

[00:04:06] My fridge

[00:04:07] Number them

[00:04:08] Becomes my cheese advent calendar

[00:04:09] I like the idea of

[00:04:10] Your fridge being an advent calendar

[00:04:12] Uh, what about like

[00:04:14] A nacho cheese

[00:04:15] That was made with Velveeta

[00:04:16] Okay, now that I like

[00:04:18] Okay

[00:04:18] Because it's warm

[00:04:19] No one's just chomping into Velveeta

[00:04:22] Looking at it

[00:04:23] It's like

[00:04:23] This is problematic

[00:04:24] No

[00:04:25] My daughter Emma

[00:04:26] Hates Velveeta

[00:04:27] And she hates the texture

[00:04:28] And I tried to explain to her

[00:04:30] I like cooking with this

[00:04:31] Yes

[00:04:31] And it makes a really good addition

[00:04:33] To macaroni and cheese

[00:04:35] It's not the star of the show

[00:04:37] No

[00:04:37] It's a melting cheese

[00:04:38] And the process

[00:04:40] That's right

[00:04:40] Kind of like

[00:04:41] Helps it all congeal

[00:04:42] That's right

[00:04:42] Better

[00:04:43] And yeah

[00:04:43] I love ballpark nachos

[00:04:44] That is something

[00:04:45] I'm just a sucker for

[00:04:47] And even when the cheese

[00:04:48] Cools down

[00:04:48] I'm still

[00:04:50] Going around with my finger

[00:04:51] In the plastic at the end

[00:04:53] And getting all the jalapenos

[00:04:54] And all the cheese

[00:04:54] We

[00:04:55] Is it

[00:04:55] I guess

[00:04:56] Is it lunchtime already?

[00:04:58] We might be hungry

[00:04:59] We might be

[00:05:00] I got a few more items

[00:05:01] From the box, Scotty

[00:05:03] That I'm gonna try

[00:05:04] Okay

[00:05:04] Because they are sweet

[00:05:05] And I know

[00:05:06] You know

[00:05:07] Sugar is not your jam

[00:05:08] But there were some

[00:05:09] Sugar-free stuff

[00:05:10] That you did get

[00:05:11] Which was so kind

[00:05:12] Now one thing I'm excited about

[00:05:13] I'm not gonna make it right now

[00:05:15] But I love

[00:05:16] The packaging of this

[00:05:17] It's for snowman soup

[00:05:19] Which is just

[00:05:20] Oh we saw

[00:05:21] We saw that photo

[00:05:22] From Jill and Xavier

[00:05:23] It's great

[00:05:24] I think that's how

[00:05:25] This whole thing started

[00:05:26] And we even

[00:05:27] Talked about it

[00:05:27] And said

[00:05:28] What is snowman soup

[00:05:29] And we said

[00:05:30] Hot chocolate

[00:05:30] Right?

[00:05:31] It's just hot chocolate

[00:05:32] But the packaging on it

[00:05:33] Is absolutely adorable

[00:05:34] I cannot wait

[00:05:35] I think I'm gonna

[00:05:35] Take this one home

[00:05:36] And do this one with my kids

[00:05:37] Cause I think they'll get a

[00:05:38] Get a hoot out of it

[00:05:40] That's an awesome idea

[00:05:40] I'm gonna try something

[00:05:41] Called fruit salad

[00:05:43] Which just looks like

[00:05:45] It's a bad name

[00:05:46] Looks like a starburst

[00:05:47] So I'm gonna

[00:05:48] Oh okay

[00:05:49] Yeah

[00:05:49] Ooh

[00:05:50] That's great

[00:05:51] Now is it better

[00:05:52] Than a starburst

[00:05:53] Because the one you held up

[00:05:54] Was yellow

[00:05:55] And yellow starburst

[00:05:56] Are lemon

[00:05:57] And those are my least favorite

[00:05:58] These are so soft

[00:06:00] You know

[00:06:00] Sometimes you get a starburst

[00:06:02] And it's like you're chewing on it

[00:06:03] For the next year

[00:06:04] Yeah like the ones that live

[00:06:05] At the bottom of my wife's purse

[00:06:07] And then you

[00:06:07] You know

[00:06:08] Like my sugar gets low

[00:06:09] And I'm like

[00:06:09] Honey I need something

[00:06:10] And she hands me

[00:06:10] This ancient piece of starburst

[00:06:12] And it's horrible

[00:06:13] You look like you are

[00:06:15] In ecstasy right now

[00:06:16] That's amazing

[00:06:16] I love that

[00:06:17] Oh nice

[00:06:17] I also wanted to try this

[00:06:19] It's called Dib Dab

[00:06:20] And it's

[00:06:21] It's Sherbert Dip

[00:06:23] With a tasty

[00:06:24] Strawberry flavor

[00:06:26] Jolly

[00:06:27] Now when you say dip

[00:06:28] I'm imagining something

[00:06:29] That looks like

[00:06:32] Those straws

[00:06:33] That are full of

[00:06:33] Like raw sugar

[00:06:34] Yeah

[00:06:35] The best thing

[00:06:35] I can compare this to

[00:06:36] And the reason why

[00:06:37] I wanted to open it up

[00:06:38] Is because it's

[00:06:39] Pixie sticks

[00:06:39] Kind of like pixie stick

[00:06:41] Kind of like fun dip

[00:06:42] You know fun dip

[00:06:43] With that thing

[00:06:43] I'm not familiar with fun dip

[00:06:45] But when you say it

[00:06:46] I feel like I might have

[00:06:47] An inkling like

[00:06:48] It's like a

[00:06:48] It's like a candy stick

[00:06:49] And you put it in powder

[00:06:50] And then you put the powder

[00:06:51] On the candy stick

[00:06:53] Okay so if you like

[00:06:54] Licked a lollipop

[00:06:55] And stuck it in

[00:06:55] Well that's when

[00:06:56] It's in your hand

[00:06:56] Okay there we go

[00:06:57] So this is a lollipop

[00:06:59] And I'm showing it to you

[00:07:00] This looks white right

[00:07:02] Yeah

[00:07:03] Underneath is a red lollipop

[00:07:05] So this is all white powder

[00:07:07] Now did you powder it

[00:07:08] No it came in the same package

[00:07:10] Okay

[00:07:10] So there's a bunch of powder

[00:07:11] In this package

[00:07:12] Okay now are you supposed

[00:07:13] To lick the thing

[00:07:14] And stick it back in there

[00:07:15] I think

[00:07:16] This is not a sharing candy

[00:07:17] If COVID taught us anything

[00:07:19] It's so lemony

[00:07:21] But there you go

[00:07:21] There's the like

[00:07:22] Gotcha

[00:07:23] Okay now do the dip for us

[00:07:25] Okay so you do this

[00:07:25] So you're re-upping

[00:07:26] The lemony

[00:07:27] Yeah

[00:07:27] You re-upped the powder

[00:07:29] It's truly wonderful

[00:07:31] It looks so fun

[00:07:32] 10 year old Scotty

[00:07:33] Is looking at that

[00:07:34] Saying oh that's all me

[00:07:36] It's really wonderful

[00:07:37] Really

[00:07:37] A really big fan

[00:07:38] Of those two things

[00:07:39] Now

[00:07:39] I am going to bring home

[00:07:41] The Cadbury puds

[00:07:43] Which is

[00:07:44] Like Cadbury

[00:07:47] Chocolate

[00:07:47] With a truffle center

[00:07:49] Hazelnut pieces

[00:07:50] And rice crisps

[00:07:51] And my wife will be

[00:07:52] Very excited about these

[00:07:53] So I'm going to bring

[00:07:54] Those home

[00:07:55] And one thing

[00:07:56] I'm not going to be

[00:07:57] Bringing home

[00:07:57] Is this Christmas pudding

[00:07:59] It is

[00:08:00] Six months

[00:08:02] Matured

[00:08:03] I am familiar

[00:08:04] With Christmas pudding

[00:08:05] Jack from the

[00:08:06] Total Christmas podcast

[00:08:07] Sent me one

[00:08:08] In the past

[00:08:09] And I tried it

[00:08:10] It's not my thing

[00:08:11] I am terrified

[00:08:13] Of even the sound

[00:08:14] Of this

[00:08:15] And so

[00:08:15] I brought

[00:08:16] Brian

[00:08:17] Brack

[00:08:18] Brack up

[00:08:19] I brought

[00:08:19] Brian back up

[00:08:20] To the

[00:08:21] North Pole

[00:08:22] Now you just

[00:08:23] Opened up this

[00:08:24] I agreed to

[00:08:25] Oh it's

[00:08:26] It's

[00:08:27] Okay

[00:08:29] Explain the smell

[00:08:30] Brian

[00:08:31] What you got going on here

[00:08:32] Very

[00:08:33] Very much

[00:08:33] Fig like

[00:08:34] Like the center

[00:08:36] Of those

[00:08:37] Bakery treats

[00:08:38] We had the other day

[00:08:39] Yeah

[00:08:40] The

[00:08:41] Eccles cakes

[00:08:42] A little bit like that

[00:08:43] Yeah

[00:08:43] I think of

[00:08:45] Putting differently

[00:08:45] I think we all do

[00:08:47] Yes

[00:08:47] Let's see

[00:08:48] Alright

[00:08:49] He's going to go in

[00:08:50] With his tiny spoon

[00:08:50] I'm going to eat two hands

[00:08:51] And you are

[00:08:52] Having a tough time

[00:08:53] Make

[00:08:54] Oh it's all coming out

[00:08:56] Okay so it is

[00:08:57] It's kept its form

[00:08:58] Scotty as you can see

[00:09:00] Which is

[00:09:00] All six months

[00:09:01] Good

[00:09:01] Oh dude

[00:09:02] That's

[00:09:03] The smell of that thing

[00:09:04] Is crazy

[00:09:05] Holy cow

[00:09:06] Alright

[00:09:07] So just take a big

[00:09:08] Chomper out of that

[00:09:09] Alright

[00:09:10] What do you think

[00:09:11] First

[00:09:12] First reaction

[00:09:13] Yeah

[00:09:13] It needs

[00:09:15] A cake around it

[00:09:16] It needs something

[00:09:18] So is it

[00:09:19] Is that really what it is

[00:09:20] It's like the inside

[00:09:21] Yeah

[00:09:21] It's like the

[00:09:22] Just straight fig

[00:09:22] Basically

[00:09:23] Yeah

[00:09:23] Yeah

[00:09:23] It's fig

[00:09:24] And raisin

[00:09:25] Probably

[00:09:25] And some goo

[00:09:26] So is it hard to believe

[00:09:28] That it's six months mature

[00:09:29] No

[00:09:31] No

[00:09:31] Not at all

[00:09:32] There you go

[00:09:34] So listen

[00:09:34] Take this with me

[00:09:35] Not everything

[00:09:36] Was a smash hit

[00:09:38] Most things were

[00:09:39] Of the treats

[00:09:40] I'm going to open that one

[00:09:41] Later though

[00:09:42] Because what I just saw

[00:09:44] Was slightly different

[00:09:45] That one says it's from

[00:09:46] Sainsbury's

[00:09:47] Yes

[00:09:47] The one I had

[00:09:48] It tasted like

[00:09:49] Almost like

[00:09:51] Unsweetened chocolate

[00:09:52] And it was really

[00:09:53] Soft and gross

[00:09:55] And I spit it out

[00:09:56] But that one looked better

[00:09:57] And if he says it tastes like fig

[00:09:58] I'll give it a go

[00:09:59] All right

[00:10:00] You let us

[00:10:01] You let us know

[00:10:01] It

[00:10:02] Yes

[00:10:02] I can still smell it

[00:10:03] I didn't love the smell

[00:10:05] I'll just say that

[00:10:06] Thank you Brian

[00:10:07] Thanks for coming out to the North Pole

[00:10:08] Very few foods that age for six months

[00:10:11] Smell awesome

[00:10:12] Right?

[00:10:12] That's true

[00:10:14] All right

[00:10:14] Sorry

[00:10:14] That went on a little bit longer

[00:10:15] Than we were planning

[00:10:16] You got a joke for us?

[00:10:17] Mm-hmm

[00:10:17] What do Christmas trees wear to the pool?

[00:10:20] Oh

[00:10:21] A

[00:10:22] Pool skirt

[00:10:23] No

[00:10:24] Trunks

[00:10:25] Waka waka

[00:10:26] I think that's the best of the week

[00:10:29] I saved the best one for Friday

[00:10:31] Yeah

[00:10:31] I think that's the best of the week

[00:10:33] I really like that one

[00:10:33] Let's get to the countdown

[00:10:40] 47

[00:10:40] Day

[00:10:41] The Joker is back

[00:10:45] 47

[00:10:47] 47

[00:10:47] 47's a fun number

[00:10:48] I don't know why I like that

[00:10:49] It's just

[00:10:50] I don't know

[00:10:50] Just liking it

[00:10:51] It's nice

[00:10:52] It's nice

[00:10:52] I like it a lot

[00:10:53] There's nothing special about the number 47

[00:10:55] To me

[00:10:56] You know

[00:10:56] It's not divisible by anything

[00:10:57] It's not round

[00:10:58] It's not even

[00:10:59] It's probably

[00:11:00] Is it a prime number?

[00:11:01] It's probably a prime number

[00:11:03] So

[00:11:03] Okay

[00:11:05] 47

[00:11:05] But

[00:11:06] The point is

[00:11:07] We're getting closer to Christmas

[00:11:07] I love number talk with Scotty

[00:11:09] Where he gets his thoughts on numbers

[00:11:11] Number talk with Scotty

[00:11:15] And he said

[00:11:16] You just

[00:11:16] Every episode

[00:11:17] Starts with a number

[00:11:18] And you just kind of

[00:11:19] Here's why I don't like this number

[00:11:21] Here give me a number

[00:11:22] I'll try it out

[00:11:24] 32

[00:11:25] 32

[00:11:25] 32 is a great number

[00:11:26] It's

[00:11:27] Double 16

[00:11:29] Alright

[00:11:29] We'll see you next week

[00:11:32] Thanks for joining us

[00:11:33] On numbers talk

[00:11:34] I don't think that's going to be

[00:11:35] The next Bramble Jam podcast

[00:11:36] But who knows

[00:11:36] We'll see

[00:11:37] We'll see what 2025 holds

[00:11:38] Hey I bet you there's some people

[00:11:40] That would tune in

[00:11:41] They'd love it

[00:11:42] Let's get to the news

[00:11:44] Okay

[00:11:45] Is it number news?

[00:11:46] Kind of

[00:11:47] Okay

[00:11:48] So that is November 8th

[00:11:55] 2024

[00:11:55] And here's the news

[00:11:58] I say it's number themed

[00:12:00] Because

[00:12:00] It's the last

[00:12:02] Of something

[00:12:03] Which isn't a number

[00:12:04] But adjacent

[00:12:05] Well

[00:12:06] The last is a position

[00:12:07] The last is a position

[00:12:08] We are heading to

[00:12:11] The great state of Minnesota

[00:12:13] Minnesota

[00:12:14] Minnesota

[00:12:14] To the Bryant Lake Bowl

[00:12:17] Which is apparently

[00:12:18] A theater of sorts

[00:12:20] Yeah it sounds like

[00:12:21] An outdoor theater

[00:12:22] Where for the past

[00:12:23] 12 years

[00:12:25] They have put on

[00:12:27] A very die hard Christmas

[00:12:29] Which is

[00:12:30] Oh it's apparently

[00:12:31] A bowling alley

[00:12:33] And theater

[00:12:33] Oh

[00:12:34] Okay

[00:12:35] I was thinking of

[00:12:36] The Hollywood Bowl

[00:12:37] You know

[00:12:37] Yes

[00:12:38] I would as well

[00:12:39] But no

[00:12:40] This is actually

[00:12:40] A bowling alley

[00:12:41] With a theater

[00:12:42] Mixed into it

[00:12:43] And every year

[00:12:44] For the past 12 years

[00:12:45] They have put on

[00:12:46] A very die hard Christmas

[00:12:47] Which takes the movie

[00:12:48] Die hard

[00:12:48] And you know

[00:12:50] Puts it on

[00:12:51] On the stage

[00:12:52] And it's apparently

[00:12:52] Been a staple

[00:12:53] Of the community

[00:12:54] But

[00:12:55] Wait this is not

[00:12:56] Live action right

[00:12:57] It's live action

[00:12:58] Oh

[00:12:58] They act it out

[00:12:59] It's a play

[00:13:01] Is there singing?

[00:13:02] I don't know

[00:13:02] Maybe

[00:13:03] You wanna go?

[00:13:04] This is the last time to go

[00:13:05] Is what I'm trying to say

[00:13:06] Road trip

[00:13:07] They are gonna be

[00:13:08] Putting this on

[00:13:09] For one last time

[00:13:11] This holiday season

[00:13:13] Tickets are on sale

[00:13:14] Already

[00:13:15] And

[00:13:17] You know

[00:13:18] They haven't really

[00:13:19] Given a reason

[00:13:19] For why it is

[00:13:21] The last one

[00:13:22] Aside from the fact

[00:13:23] That

[00:13:24] It just felt

[00:13:25] Like the right time

[00:13:26] It's better to leave

[00:13:27] The party early

[00:13:28] Than realize

[00:13:29] That you're

[00:13:37] Start at 10pm

[00:13:38] They had a very

[00:13:39] Different 30s

[00:13:40] Than I'm having

[00:13:41] But whatever

[00:13:42] And now I'm getting

[00:13:43] Emails telling me

[00:13:44] That it's time

[00:13:45] To schedule my

[00:13:45] Colonoscopy

[00:13:46] So it's time to

[00:13:47] It's time to

[00:13:48] Hang it up

[00:13:49] So it's very fun

[00:13:51] A very die hard

[00:13:52] Christmas

[00:13:52] One last hurrah

[00:13:54] At

[00:13:55] The Bryant Lake

[00:13:57] Bowl

[00:13:58] In Minnesota

[00:13:59] So if you are

[00:14:00] In that area

[00:14:01] And you

[00:14:02] Are

[00:14:02] Going to this

[00:14:03] Bowling alley

[00:14:04] Slash theater

[00:14:05] Beginning on November

[00:14:05] 30th

[00:14:06] To see a very

[00:14:07] Die hard Christmas

[00:14:07] For one last time

[00:14:09] Let us know

[00:14:10] Let us know

[00:14:10] Your thoughts on it

[00:14:11] We would love to

[00:14:12] Get a review

[00:14:13] Of the show

[00:14:14] Because it sounds

[00:14:14] Like they

[00:14:15] They really do it

[00:14:16] They really do it up

[00:14:17] It's a lot of fun

[00:14:18] It's

[00:14:19] You know

[00:14:19] I think it's

[00:14:20] Kind of like a

[00:14:20] Kind of like a

[00:14:21] Spoof

[00:14:21] Kind of like

[00:14:22] An homage

[00:14:23] The pictures of it

[00:14:25] Look very fun

[00:14:26] So it's something

[00:14:27] That I think

[00:14:27] I would enjoy

[00:14:28] I hope

[00:14:29] I really hope

[00:14:29] It's a musical

[00:14:30] Oh I hope so

[00:17:56] courtesy of

[00:17:56] MostlyChristmas.com

[00:17:58] Thank you TV Scotty

[00:17:59] That was wonderful

[00:18:00] No one reads like you

[00:18:02] It was

[00:18:03] It moved me to tears

[00:18:04] today

[00:18:04] It was beautiful

[00:18:05] Let's get to the

[00:18:06] Christmas music battle

[00:18:07] It is Friday

[00:18:08] which means

[00:18:10] Instrumental

[00:18:11] It's your favorite Scotty

[00:18:12] I love instrumental

[00:18:14] We get it every single week

[00:18:16] for November and December

[00:18:17] We do

[00:18:18] which is very fun

[00:18:19] We typically only get it

[00:18:20] once a month

[00:18:20] throughout the rest of the year

[00:18:21] but every Friday

[00:18:22] during our daily weeks

[00:18:24] every single Friday

[00:18:25] instrumental week

[00:18:26] it's very

[00:18:26] or instrumental day

[00:18:27] I guess you should say

[00:18:28] Up first

[00:18:29] we have

[00:18:29] Oh Come Olly Joyful

[00:18:31] by Ricky Lee

[00:18:32] Oh my

[00:19:37] Ricky Lee

[00:19:38] so far

[00:19:38] is undefeated

[00:19:39] Is that true?

[00:19:40] In Christmas music battles

[00:19:41] I believe it's true

[00:19:42] Yeah

[00:19:43] because I think

[00:19:43] we've featured

[00:19:44] two of her songs

[00:19:45] and I believe

[00:19:46] they both won

[00:19:47] You're correct

[00:19:47] I just fact checked

[00:19:48] you in real time

[00:19:49] Yeah

[00:19:50] How about that website?

[00:19:52] Christmasmorningpodcast.com

[00:19:53] slash songs

[00:19:53] if you want a list

[00:19:54] of all of the songs

[00:19:55] Also in the

[00:19:56] show notes

[00:19:57] every single week

[00:19:58] is a link

[00:19:58] to a Spotify playlist

[00:19:59] that I believe

[00:20:00] Lee Hodo

[00:20:01] keeps updated

[00:20:02] with all of the songs

[00:20:03] that get featured

[00:20:04] on the show

[00:20:04] and so

[00:20:05] if you would like

[00:20:05] to listen to the songs

[00:20:06] or just kind of

[00:20:08] hear some really weird

[00:20:09] versions of songs

[00:20:10] that we've battled

[00:20:11] over the years

[00:20:11] you can do that

[00:20:12] link is in the description

[00:20:13] every single week

[00:20:14] for that playlist

[00:20:15] I was just looking

[00:20:16] the other day

[00:20:16] Brian

[00:20:16] I think we're up

[00:20:17] to something like

[00:20:19] 570 songs

[00:20:19] It's crazy

[00:20:21] That's crazy

[00:20:21] Lots of Jose James

[00:20:23] I believe

[00:20:23] I think the entire

[00:20:24] Jose James EP

[00:20:25] is on there

[00:20:26] That's 520 of them

[00:20:28] There's worse things

[00:20:30] Up next is

[00:20:30] Rudolph

[00:20:31] the 5-4 reindeer

[00:20:34] by a bunch of people

[00:20:36] Tony Guerrero

[00:20:37] Jeremy Siskin

[00:20:38] Miles Jensen

[00:20:39] Lyman Medeiros

[00:20:40] and Charles Ruggiero

[00:21:38] Okay

[00:21:39] that was something

[00:21:40] obviously

[00:21:41] 5-4 times

[00:21:42] so it's giving me

[00:21:43] the Dave Brubeck

[00:21:45] take 5 feels

[00:21:47] It's nice

[00:21:47] It's very nice

[00:21:48] There's not a lot of songs

[00:21:49] that you just want to count to

[00:21:50] but when you put the

[00:21:51] time-surgers

[00:21:52] in the song

[00:21:52] I don't know

[00:21:53] what you want for me

[00:21:53] When there's a Christmas song

[00:21:54] that has waltz in the title

[00:21:56] I'm always counting

[00:21:56] 1-2-3

[00:21:57] 1-2-3

[00:21:58] That was fun

[00:21:58] That was very fun

[00:21:59] I think a good battle today

[00:22:00] I think a great battle today

[00:22:02] Honestly

[00:22:03] a great week of battles

[00:22:04] I'm excited to see

[00:22:05] who wins

[00:22:06] and the fun thing is
