48 Days Until Christmas! ("Santa Claus is Coming to Town" Song Battle)

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

[00:00:12] It's the Christmas Morning Podcast

[00:00:14] Everyone join if you can

[00:00:18] Christmas greatest fans

[00:00:22] Scotty and Bram

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

[00:00:25] Well, welcome to another episode of Christmas Morning

[00:00:29] It's Thursday, everybody

[00:00:30] No, it's not a mistake

[00:00:31] We've gone daily

[00:00:34] Very excited to be here on a Thursday

[00:00:36] I'm Bram and I am here

[00:00:37] Per usual with my buddy Scotty

[00:00:39] Scotty, Merry Christmas, pal

[00:00:41] Merry Christmas, Bram

[00:00:42] We're only in our fourth day of daily episodes

[00:00:45] But I'm already loving it

[00:00:46] I'm in the groove

[00:00:47] And we're firing on all cylinders here, I would say

[00:00:50] We mentioned that it always takes a couple days

[00:00:52] To feel like we're hitting our stride

[00:00:54] And I feel like we've done it

[00:00:56] Last episode felt real good

[00:00:59] Let's see if we can continue that

[00:01:00] We've got to get right into the mailbag

[00:01:02] Because I've got a really long email here

[00:01:04] Okay, hit me

[00:01:04] Letters

[00:01:05] We get letters

[00:01:07] We get stacks and stacks of letters

[00:01:11] Alright, this email is from Fred

[00:01:13] And it's a little on the longer side

[00:01:14] So I'm going to try to read it faster, okay?

[00:01:16] Do it

[00:01:16] Alright, hey Brandon Scott

[00:01:17] I have not done my due diligence

[00:01:19] And gone to see the new Christmas horror movie

[00:01:21] Terrifier 3

[00:01:22] But if you are at all squeamish about gore

[00:01:25] You may not enjoy these movies

[00:01:27] Warning audiences against seeing a horror movie

[00:01:29] Because it's too intense

[00:01:31] Is nothing new

[00:01:31] William Castle was using that as a marketing tool

[00:01:34] Back in the 50s

[00:01:35] But Terrifier and Terrifier 2

[00:01:37] Did contain a crazy amount of very elaborate

[00:01:39] Blood and guts effects

[00:01:40] It's actually not scary

[00:01:42] It's over the top

[00:01:43] It veers into Monty Python territory

[00:01:45] Oh, that's kind of funny

[00:01:46] And can't be taken really seriously

[00:01:48] I almost saw it on Halloween night, Scotty

[00:01:50] I thought about going out and seeing it

[00:01:52] As like a transitional movie

[00:01:53] But then I read about some of the kills

[00:01:55] And there was one kill in particular

[00:01:57] That I just was like

[00:01:59] I have no interest in watching this

[00:02:01] So, but I know there's a

[00:02:03] There's, yeah

[00:02:04] There's people out there that love it

[00:02:05] But Fred says

[00:02:05] If it's not your thing

[00:02:06] You may want to steer clear

[00:02:07] On the more family-friendly

[00:02:09] Christmas Halloween front

[00:02:10] I went to see the Nightmare Before Christmas

[00:02:12] Light Trail

[00:02:12] At the New York Botanical Gardens

[00:02:14] And it was wonderful

[00:02:16] My two-year-old was thrilled

[00:02:18] To see Life Size Jack

[00:02:19] Sally

[00:02:20] Oogie Boogie

[00:02:21] And both the Halloween

[00:02:22] And Christmas atmosphere

[00:02:23] Were in full immersive effect

[00:02:25] Since then

[00:02:26] I've taken the family

[00:02:27] To a number of Halloween events

[00:02:28] In the nearby village

[00:02:29] Of Sleepy Hollow, New York

[00:02:30] It's possibly America's

[00:02:32] Number one Halloween tourist decoration

[00:02:34] Although that could be

[00:02:35] Salem, Massachusetts

[00:02:36] But for purposes of this show

[00:02:37] It's also worth pointing out

[00:02:39] That it has an important place

[00:02:40] In the history of Christmas

[00:02:41] In America

[00:02:42] Despite what certain movie titles

[00:02:44] May suggest

[00:02:45] The moniker of

[00:02:46] The Man Who Invented Christmas

[00:02:48] Could easily be attributed

[00:02:50] To Washington Irving

[00:02:51] His short story collection

[00:02:53] The Sketchbook of Jeffrey Cran

[00:02:55] Contained The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

[00:02:56] Which he says

[00:02:58] Is America's first

[00:02:59] Great horror story

[00:03:00] As well as

[00:03:01] Four stories about Christmas

[00:03:02] Irving was the first

[00:03:03] Great American writer

[00:03:04] And the first to be read

[00:03:05] Or taken seriously

[00:03:06] Outside of America

[00:03:07] He and Dickens

[00:03:09] Had sort of a friendly rivalry

[00:03:10] And Irving's stories

[00:03:11] Detailing old English

[00:03:12] Christmas customs

[00:03:13] Were a direct influence

[00:03:15] On A Christmas Carol

[00:03:16] And he was also the first

[00:03:17] To describe St. Nicholas

[00:03:18] Flying through the air

[00:03:19] In a wagon

[00:03:20] As a means of delivering presents

[00:03:21] The wild popularity

[00:03:23] Of Washington Irving's writing

[00:03:25] Reignited an interest

[00:03:26] In the holiday

[00:03:27] Which had actually been

[00:03:28] Banned by law

[00:03:28] In parts of the country

[00:03:29] Previously

[00:03:30] Due to being celebrated

[00:03:31] By excessive drinking

[00:03:33] And devolving into

[00:03:34] Fighting and destruction

[00:03:35] As opposed to

[00:03:36] The gift giving

[00:03:37] Feasting

[00:03:37] Singing

[00:03:38] And merriment

[00:03:39] That Irving described

[00:03:40] After Halloween

[00:03:42] Much of the scenery

[00:03:43] In and around

[00:03:43] The village of Sleepy Hollow

[00:03:44] In the town of Tarrytown

[00:03:45] Transforms from spooky

[00:03:47] To festive

[00:03:48] And Washington Irving's

[00:03:50] Sunnyside estate

[00:03:51] In Tarrytown

[00:03:52] And many of the other

[00:03:53] Historic locations

[00:03:54] Sust a number of

[00:03:55] Old-fashioned Christmas

[00:03:57] Decor and events

[00:03:58] Anyway, look forward

[00:03:59] To the Halloween evening show

[00:04:00] And the daily

[00:04:01] Christmas morning episodes

[00:04:02] And appreciate

[00:04:02] The acknowledgement

[00:04:03] Of those of us

[00:04:04] Who bridge the gap

[00:04:05] Between the two holidays

[00:04:06] Thank you, Fred

[00:04:07] Fantastic

[00:04:08] Hopefully you enjoyed

[00:04:09] The episode

[00:04:09] The Halloween evening episode

[00:04:11] I mean

[00:04:11] We've gotten some

[00:04:12] Good feedback from it

[00:04:13] I don't

[00:04:14] Yearly tradition

[00:04:15] Maybe, Scotty

[00:04:16] I don't know

[00:04:16] Sounds neat

[00:04:17] That was awesome

[00:04:18] That was awesome

[00:04:19] I don't have

[00:04:20] I don't have any reviews

[00:04:21] So

[00:04:22] Well, let's eat something then

[00:04:23] Oh, let's eat something

[00:04:24] Now, Scotty

[00:04:25] I have sent you

[00:04:27] The

[00:04:28] It looks like

[00:04:29] It was

[00:04:30] It mint humbugs

[00:04:31] Is that what you have?

[00:04:32] That's what it says

[00:04:33] Now this

[00:04:34] It looked like it said

[00:04:35] It says

[00:04:36] No artificial

[00:04:37] Artificial colors

[00:04:38] With a U, obviously

[00:04:39] Or flavors

[00:04:40] With a U, obviously

[00:04:42] It's mint humbug

[00:04:43] My guess, Scotty

[00:04:45] In looking at it

[00:04:46] For people at home

[00:04:46] That have never had

[00:04:48] A mint humbug

[00:04:49] I'm thinking

[00:04:50] It's some sort of

[00:04:51] Mint chocolates

[00:04:52] Because it's brown

[00:04:53] It's got some

[00:04:55] Stripes

[00:04:55] Yeah, that's what I thought

[00:04:57] But I'm starting to get

[00:04:58] The impression

[00:04:58] That's not the case here

[00:05:00] I think it's just brown

[00:05:01] Because there are no

[00:05:01] Artificial colors

[00:05:02] Does that sound right to you?

[00:05:03] Oh, I see

[00:05:05] Okay

[00:05:05] So is it just

[00:05:06] Is it just a mint then?

[00:05:08] Is it just mint?

[00:05:09] Let me unwrap it

[00:05:10] And try it here

[00:05:12] That tastes like

[00:05:13] A starlight mint

[00:05:14] It does

[00:05:15] Okay

[00:05:16] It is trippy though

[00:05:17] That it's brown

[00:05:18] It's throwing me for a loop

[00:05:19] Because, you know

[00:05:20] You're so used to

[00:05:21] The idea of

[00:05:23] Red and white

[00:05:24] Being peppermints

[00:05:25] Because of those

[00:05:26] Little mint candies

[00:05:27] And the candy candy

[00:05:28] And whatnot

[00:05:28] So

[00:05:29] The color is a little

[00:05:30] Off-putting

[00:05:30] But the flavor is great

[00:05:31] And now you get

[00:05:33] The benefit of hearing

[00:05:34] It click around

[00:05:34] My teeth like this

[00:05:37] Did you like that, Brian?

[00:05:38] I did

[00:05:39] Now, I am nervous

[00:05:41] About this next try

[00:05:44] They're called

[00:05:45] Eccles Cakes

[00:05:46] E-C-C-L-E-S

[00:05:47] Cakes

[00:05:48] The reason why

[00:05:49] I'm going to try it

[00:05:50] Is because

[00:05:51] Right below it

[00:05:52] In big bold text

[00:05:53] It says

[00:05:54] Containing pure butter

[00:05:56] I like all those words

[00:05:57] If I see those words

[00:05:59] On a package

[00:05:59] Now, I'm not trying these

[00:06:01] You didn't send these

[00:06:02] Because opening them up

[00:06:03] And divvying it

[00:06:04] Would probably have

[00:06:05] Made them stale

[00:06:06] You're going to have

[00:06:07] To let me know

[00:06:07] How these are

[00:06:08] I'm going to hand

[00:06:09] Half of this to Brian

[00:06:11] Okay

[00:06:11] Who's in the office

[00:06:12] He's at the North Pole

[00:06:14] With me today

[00:06:14] He came up here

[00:06:15] Because he's a baker

[00:06:16] Looking at this, Brian

[00:06:18] It does

[00:06:19] In the middle of it

[00:06:20] Scotty

[00:06:21] Can you see this

[00:06:21] On the camera?

[00:06:22] It kind of looks

[00:06:22] Like raisins

[00:06:23] It looks exactly

[00:06:25] Like a mince pie

[00:06:25] To me

[00:06:26] Is that what that is?

[00:06:27] They're delicious

[00:06:28] Okay

[00:06:29] I've never had a mince pie

[00:06:30] Mince pie has

[00:06:31] A little bit of a

[00:06:32] Like a fig newton

[00:06:33] Kind of flavor

[00:06:34] That's butter

[00:06:35] That's butter

[00:06:36] Yeah, it does taste

[00:06:37] Like a fig newton

[00:06:38] What did Brian think?

[00:06:39] It was good

[00:06:39] Brian, what did you think?

[00:06:42] That was good

[00:06:43] That was good

[00:06:44] There you go

[00:06:44] We got a seal of approval

[00:06:46] From Brian and Bran

[00:06:47] On that one

[00:06:48] Reminds me that

[00:06:49] Boy, I need to go over

[00:06:50] To World Market

[00:06:51] And get some mince pies

[00:06:52] There you go

[00:06:52] Now you know

[00:06:53] You should really try them

[00:06:54] This year, Bran

[00:06:55] Okay

[00:06:55] Because if you liked that

[00:06:56] It's basically the same thing

[00:06:58] It's like a gooey

[00:06:59] Raisiny, figgy

[00:07:00] Kind of thing

[00:07:01] Yeah, yeah

[00:07:02] It's good

[00:07:03] Eccles Cakes

[00:07:04] I guess is what

[00:07:04] They call them over there

[00:07:05] Eccles Cakes

[00:07:06] Alright, thank you

[00:07:07] Jill and Xavier

[00:07:08] Hey, do you

[00:07:09] Do you have a joke for us?

[00:07:10] Yeah, I'm still trying

[00:07:11] To eat this mint

[00:07:12] Uh-huh

[00:07:12] It's not going well

[00:07:13] Over here

[00:07:14] Yeah, it's great

[00:07:14] Okay, I got the

[00:07:15] I got the joke ready

[00:07:16] Where did the mistletoe

[00:07:17] Go to become famous?

[00:07:19] Oh, man

[00:07:20] I mean

[00:07:21] On top of

[00:07:22] On top of a door?

[00:07:24] I don't know

[00:07:24] I thought you were

[00:07:25] Going to get this one

[00:07:26] It's Hollywood

[00:07:27] Ah

[00:07:29] It's Hollywood

[00:07:30] That's not bad

[00:07:32] Part and parcel

[00:07:32] With the rest of them

[00:07:33] This week

[00:07:33] Not so great

[00:07:34] They all come from

[00:07:35] The Pioneer Woman

[00:07:36] Though

[00:07:36] Shout out to the Pioneer Woman

[00:07:38] You're out there crushing it

[00:07:38] It's as if I picked

[00:07:39] All five jokes at once

[00:07:41] No

[00:07:41] No

[00:07:42] No

[00:07:43] Impossible

[00:07:44] Uh, you want to count down?

[00:07:45] Yeah

[00:07:55] Yes

[00:07:56] 48

[00:07:57] Hey, hey, hey

[00:07:58] 48

[00:07:59] That's crazy

[00:08:00] Now that we're under 50

[00:08:02] I just don't know

[00:08:03] What to do with the number anymore

[00:08:04] Now

[00:08:04] It's like, huh

[00:08:08] Yeah, sometimes you start

[00:08:09] Descendants and you say

[00:08:10] Now that we're under 50

[00:08:11] Well, that's the thing

[00:08:12] Like, now that we're under 50

[00:08:13] I don't know what to do

[00:08:14] Nor do I know what to say, I guess

[00:08:16] What do we even do?

[00:08:17] Yeah, man

[00:08:18] It is crazy to think

[00:08:19] That we're

[00:08:19] We just started daily

[00:08:22] This week

[00:08:22] And we're already under 50

[00:08:24] It's shocking

[00:08:25] It is shocking

[00:08:25] How's that meant?

[00:08:26] I'm trying to power

[00:08:27] You don't have to finish it

[00:08:29] On the air

[00:08:29] You don't have to finish it

[00:08:30] Oh, I didn't think of that

[00:08:32] Oh, I still have the wrapper

[00:08:33] Okay, yeah

[00:08:34] Good

[00:08:34] Good thing

[00:08:34] Once you read the news

[00:08:35] While I find a way to spit out this mint

[00:08:37] It's good

[00:08:37] I got you

[00:08:38] But it's not

[00:08:39] Good for podcasting

[00:08:41] I got you

[00:08:41] Alright, here's the news

[00:08:48] Today is Thursday, November 7th

[00:08:52] Here's the news

[00:08:54] Scotty, do you know about

[00:08:55] Tony's chocolate?

[00:08:57] I am not familiar with

[00:08:58] Tony or his chocolate

[00:08:59] Tony makes a good pizza

[00:09:00] At Sam's Club

[00:09:01] I know that

[00:09:01] Well, there you go

[00:09:02] But Tony's chocolate

[00:09:03] Has kind of been

[00:09:05] On the rise

[00:09:07] At least here

[00:09:08] In America

[00:09:09] Because

[00:09:09] Of the fact that

[00:09:11] They are

[00:09:11] Ethically sourcing

[00:09:13] Where they get their chocolate from

[00:09:14] Now, I don't want to get

[00:09:15] Everybody to be sad

[00:09:17] But Hershey's

[00:09:18] Maybe not

[00:09:19] On the up and up

[00:09:21] When it comes to where

[00:09:22] They get their

[00:09:23] Chocolate beans

[00:09:24] And how they're paying the farmers

[00:09:25] Are you saying it's blood chocolate?

[00:09:26] It might be blood chocolate

[00:09:27] Guys

[00:09:28] Okay

[00:09:28] I don't want to

[00:09:29] Bum people out too much

[00:09:30] I know we're all eating

[00:09:31] Our kids Halloween candy still

[00:09:34] But Tony's

[00:09:35] Actually

[00:09:35] They

[00:09:36] They try really hard

[00:09:38] To make sure that they know

[00:09:38] Where the chocolate beans

[00:09:40] Are coming from

[00:09:41] And make sure that the people

[00:09:42] That are harvesting these beans

[00:09:43] Are in

[00:09:44] Quality working conditions

[00:09:46] And making sure that they're

[00:09:47] Earning a fair wage

[00:09:48] For the work that they're doing

[00:09:49] Which is wonderful

[00:09:50] Which is one of the reasons

[00:09:51] Why they have been

[00:09:51] On the rise here

[00:09:52] In America

[00:09:53] Now, apparently

[00:09:54] Tony's

[00:09:54] At least in the UK

[00:09:56] Is releasing a new

[00:09:57] Milk chocolate gingerbread bar

[00:10:01] Which sounds

[00:10:03] Wonderful

[00:10:04] I might add

[00:10:05] Wonderful

[00:10:07] This is

[00:10:08] As far as I can see

[00:10:09] Only available

[00:10:11] In the UK

[00:10:12] As of right now

[00:10:12] It is

[00:10:14] Tony's chocolate

[00:10:15] Gingerbread

[00:10:16] Christmas version

[00:10:18] Which is

[00:10:19] It just

[00:10:19] Even the wrapper

[00:10:21] Is wonderful

[00:10:22] They have the chocolate

[00:10:23] Cut into the

[00:10:25] The shape of a Christmas tree

[00:10:26] On the wrapper

[00:10:27] It's wonderful

[00:10:28] And so

[00:10:29] It's very cool

[00:10:30] Oh Scotty

[00:10:31] Scotty

[00:10:32] I gotta send you

[00:10:33] A picture of this

[00:10:34] The chocolate itself

[00:10:36] You know how

[00:10:37] Like a Hershey's bar

[00:10:39] Is cut into a bunch

[00:10:40] Of little squares

[00:10:40] And what not

[00:10:41] Yeah yeah

[00:10:41] So Tony's

[00:10:43] They have

[00:10:43] Like a bunch

[00:10:44] Of random shapes

[00:10:45] But the shapes

[00:10:47] In the middle of it

[00:10:48] Is a large Christmas tree

[00:10:50] So you snap the chocolate

[00:10:51] Around the Christmas tree

[00:10:52] Stop selling

[00:10:53] And the chocolate

[00:10:55] Christmas tree

[00:10:55] In the middle

[00:10:56] Has a hole in the middle

[00:10:57] So I guess you could

[00:10:58] Hang a ribbon around it

[00:10:59] And put it on a Christmas tree

[00:11:01] Maybe wear it around your neck

[00:11:02] For a long day's work

[00:11:04] If you need some chocolate

[00:11:06] As you

[00:11:06] Go about your business

[00:11:09] Very intrigued

[00:11:10] By the Tony's

[00:11:12] UK

[00:11:12] I've heard things like this

[00:11:14] Brand

[00:11:14] This was never a tradition

[00:11:15] We had in my family

[00:11:17] But

[00:11:18] It would be like

[00:11:19] When you hang candy canes

[00:11:20] On the tree

[00:11:20] You also hang chocolates

[00:11:22] On the tree

[00:11:22] And then on Christmas day

[00:11:23] You get to eat them

[00:11:24] I don't know how I feel

[00:11:26] About hanging chocolate

[00:11:27] Unwrapped

[00:11:28] On a tree

[00:11:28] Oh you're talking

[00:11:29] About unwrapped

[00:11:30] Yes

[00:11:30] I was thinking wrapped

[00:11:31] Yeah I don't think

[00:11:32] No

[00:11:33] I think with the amount

[00:11:34] Of dust

[00:11:35] Around

[00:11:36] I don't really want

[00:11:36] That all over my chocolate

[00:11:37] I'm sending you

[00:11:38] The link right now

[00:11:39] To the actual

[00:11:40] Tony's page

[00:11:40] Where you'll get a

[00:11:41] Okay

[00:11:42] This might change

[00:11:42] Your mind Scotty

[00:11:43] Look

[00:11:43] Seeing this

[00:11:44] Makes me want

[00:11:45] To do this

[00:11:45] It makes me want

[00:11:46] To hang this

[00:11:47] Tony's chocolate

[00:11:48] Christmas tree

[00:11:48] On my tree

[00:11:49] Alright

[00:11:50] I'm opening the link

[00:11:51] Right now

[00:11:51] It looks great

[00:11:52] Looks wonderful

[00:11:53] Oh this is really cool

[00:11:55] What a cool website

[00:11:56] I know

[00:11:56] And then scroll down

[00:11:57] To where it's just

[00:11:57] The chocolate bar itself

[00:11:59] Oh look at that

[00:12:00] That is so cool

[00:12:01] I know

[00:12:03] If someone

[00:12:04] Maybe this will

[00:12:05] Make their way over

[00:12:06] If not

[00:12:07] I know we have

[00:12:07] Some listeners over there

[00:12:08] If they wouldn't mind

[00:12:10] Securing a milk chocolate

[00:12:12] Gingerbread bar

[00:12:12] From Tony's

[00:12:13] And sending it over

[00:12:14] I'd love to get my hands on it

[00:12:15] Even if it's after

[00:12:16] The holiday season

[00:12:17] I'd just love to

[00:12:18] Wait until they're on sale

[00:12:19] Yeah that's right

[00:12:20] Send a bunch

[00:12:21] I actually love the shape

[00:12:23] It's very cool

[00:12:24] Isn't it

[00:12:24] This is really

[00:12:25] Really cool

[00:12:26] You know what

[00:12:27] We won't have this

[00:12:28] In chocolate form

[00:12:29] For the holidays

[00:12:30] But I could probably

[00:12:32] Make this out of wood

[00:12:33] And put it on my tree

[00:12:35] And then I wouldn't

[00:12:36] Have to worry about it

[00:12:36] Like going stale

[00:12:37] I just love this shape

[00:12:39] It's so festive

[00:12:40] And like a little

[00:12:41] Seussical

[00:12:42] A little wonky

[00:12:42] I love it

[00:12:43] I know

[00:12:44] I know

[00:12:44] It's very cool

[00:12:45] My only concern

[00:12:46] With doing that

[00:12:47] Scotty

[00:12:47] Would be

[00:12:48] You'd have somebody

[00:12:48] Over at your house

[00:12:49] And they'd think

[00:12:50] It's chocolate

[00:12:50] And then they'd bite into it

[00:12:51] Oh it would be a hot disaster

[00:12:53] That's a trip to the hospital

[00:12:54] But you know

[00:12:54] Okay

[00:12:55] It's the price you pay

[00:12:56] For Christmas decorations

[00:12:57] Sometimes

[00:12:58] You know

[00:12:59] That's what we always say

[00:13:00] That's right

[00:13:00] Let's take a quick break

[00:14:58] And we are battling

[00:15:00] Santa Claus

[00:15:01] Is Coming to Town

[00:15:03] Yesterday we had Frosty

[00:15:05] Which is

[00:15:05] You know

[00:15:06] Some I consider

[00:15:06] A kiddie song

[00:15:07] And now we got

[00:15:07] Santa Claus

[00:15:08] Coming to Town

[00:15:09] Another one of those songs

[00:15:10] That often like

[00:15:11] Kids love to listen to

[00:15:13] Yesterday we had

[00:15:14] Two rock and roll

[00:15:15] Versions of Frosty

[00:15:16] So I'm intrigued

[00:15:17] To see what we can find

[00:15:18] With

[00:15:19] Santa Claus

[00:15:20] Is Coming to Town

[00:15:20] Are you ready to dive in Scotty?

[00:15:22] Yeah let's do it

[00:15:22] Up first we have a version by

[00:15:25] Mad Robots

[00:15:27] You better watch out

[00:15:28] You better not cry

[00:15:30] You better not fall

[00:15:32] Than telling you why

[00:15:34] Santa Claus

[00:15:36] Is Coming to Town

[00:15:41] He's making a list

[00:15:43] And taking it twice

[00:15:45] He's gonna find out

[00:15:47] Who's naughty and nice

[00:15:49] Santa Claus

[00:15:50] Is Coming to Town

[00:15:53] You better watch out

[00:16:12] You better not cry

[00:16:14] You better not fall

[00:16:16] I'm telling you why

[00:16:18] Santa Claus

[00:16:20] Is Coming to Town

[00:16:24] That had a little bit of a

[00:16:26] Chugging acoustic guitar to it

[00:16:29] I liked that

[00:16:30] It did

[00:16:31] I was also

[00:16:32] Picking up on a little

[00:16:33] Accent there

[00:16:34] I went to the band camp

[00:16:35] I thought it might be

[00:16:36] A little bit British

[00:16:36] Spain apparently

[00:16:38] Is where Mad Robot is from

[00:16:40] So there you go

[00:16:41] Oh very cool

[00:16:42] Up next we have

[00:16:43] Santa Claus is Coming to Town

[00:16:44] By Oxford

[00:16:45] Out of the Blue

[00:16:46] Santa Claus

[00:16:48] You better watch out

[00:16:49] Santa Claus is coming

[00:16:53] You better watch out

[00:16:54] You better not cry

[00:16:56] You better not fall

[00:16:57] I'm telling you

[00:17:51] My gosh

[00:17:52] Come on

[00:17:53] Do we even need to put a voting link

[00:17:55] Out for this one

[00:17:56] Oh my goodness

[00:17:58] I mean don't say it

[00:17:59] You never know

[00:18:00] We've had some surprises

[00:18:02] In the past

[00:18:02] We've had surprises

[00:18:04] But that's not going to be

[00:18:06] A November surprise

[00:18:07] For us

[00:18:08] I gotta be honest with you Scotty

[00:18:10] There's not a lot of things

[00:18:11] That you can count on

[00:18:13] But one thing you can count on

[00:18:15] Is the acapella song

[00:18:16] Winning a Christmas music battle

[00:18:18] Almost always

[00:18:19] I mean I'd be interested

[00:18:20] To go back and see

[00:18:21] What the actual percentage

[00:18:23] There is

[00:18:23] But there is a chance

[00:18:24] It's 100% success rate

[00:18:25] When it comes to the acapellas

[00:18:27] That is

[00:18:27] Very good

[00:18:28] That was phenomenal

[00:18:28] Very good

[00:18:29] Oxford out of the blue

[00:18:30] I didn't know what to expect

[00:18:32] With a group name like that

[00:18:33] So I was surprised

[00:18:34] By the acapella

[00:18:35] Oxford out of the blue

[00:18:36] Yeah I had no idea

[00:18:37] Guess what everybody

[00:18:38] We're gonna be back tomorrow

[00:18:39] It is gonna be

[00:18:39] Instrumental Fridays

[00:18:42] For the rest of the year

[00:18:44] He just started cheering

[00:18:46] Thank god I brought him

[00:18:47] You came back to the North Pole

[00:18:47] I know

[00:18:47] Thank god I brought him

[00:18:48] Back here today

[00:18:51] Let's be done

[00:18:52] Let's be done

[00:18:54] And let's come back

[00:18:55] For some more Christmas

[00:19:13] That help pay for our trip
