51 Days Until Christmas! ("Jingle Bell Rock" Song Battle)

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

[00:00:11] It's the Christmas Morning Podcast, everyone join if you can

[00:00:17] Christmas Raiders fans, Scott and Bram, here for you and me

[00:00:25] Wow, welcome everybody to a brand new season of Christmas Morning

[00:00:32] Very excited, new season, new music, Scott

[00:00:36] Can you believe we're in season 5?

[00:00:38] Is that true?

[00:00:39] Yeah, it's not 5 calendar years, but when you carve it up, yeah, we're in season 5

[00:00:44] This is our 5th holiday season?

[00:00:46] I'm not exactly sure how it all works

[00:00:47] Fair enough, 2020, yeah, this is our 5th holiday season, I just did the quick math

[00:00:52] Oh, okay, wow

[00:00:54] That's crazy

[00:00:55] You know what, I remember the pandemic like it was yesterday, but it also blows my mind that it was 4 full years ago

[00:01:01] Yeah, that is crazy

[00:01:02] So, okay, great, if you tell me it's our 5th holiday season, fantastic, I'm so happy to be here

[00:01:09] And I'm happy to be back daily with you, where we started

[00:01:14] I know, this is where it all began, granted

[00:01:18] Oh, that's how it got confusing

[00:01:20] Our first season

[00:01:22] Yeah

[00:01:22] Was the holiday season of 2020

[00:01:25] And that was only like 2 months or 1 month

[00:01:27] And then when January came, we called that season 2

[00:01:31] That's why it doesn't exactly seem right

[00:01:33] Right, but it's still, that holiday season

[00:01:35] Yeah

[00:01:35] Of 21 was still season 2

[00:01:37] Like, it still is the 5th holiday season

[00:01:39] Yes

[00:01:40] Yes

[00:01:40] So, it's great to be here

[00:01:42] And, you know, heading into our 5th season

[00:01:46] We thought we should get a new song

[00:01:47] And it's very fun

[00:01:50] Yes, thank you to Little Red Ambulance

[00:01:53] Wrote and played and produced that for us

[00:01:55] Amazing

[00:01:56] Fantastic

[00:01:57] We're going to use that all season long

[00:01:59] It is as silly and wonderful as this show is

[00:02:02] And so, we are very appreciative of their work on that

[00:02:05] And you'll get to hear it every weekday leading up until Christmas

[00:02:10] Because that is what we will be doing, Scott

[00:02:13] You and I will be joining the folks every morning

[00:02:15] Every weekday morning, at least

[00:02:17] Yep

[00:02:17] All the way up until Christmas

[00:02:20] Counting down the days and helping you hopefully savor the entire holiday season

[00:02:26] If this is your first daily season with us

[00:02:29] Because we have new people join us all the time

[00:02:32] You'll find that the episodes are going to be

[00:02:34] I would say much shorter

[00:02:36] Sometimes they're not

[00:02:38] A skosh

[00:02:38] A skosh shorter

[00:02:39] A typical episode for us goes 25 to 30 minutes

[00:02:42] These might go 14 to 20

[00:02:44] We only read one email

[00:02:46] Because we never know what's going to come in

[00:02:50] So we have to space them out

[00:02:51] The battle is just me and Bran

[00:02:53] We don't have the previous day's results

[00:02:55] The TV listings are a little shorter

[00:02:58] And I don't think people need us 30 minutes a day

[00:03:01] For two months

[00:03:02] I don't even want to be with me for 30 minutes a day

[00:03:05] For two months

[00:03:05] So we try to keep it a little tighter

[00:03:07] Don't say that, Scott

[00:03:09] They're going to start requesting it

[00:03:10] Yeah, no kidding

[00:03:11] Don't put it out there

[00:03:12] You should do two episodes a day

[00:03:14] Oh my God

[00:03:15] I will say the people really enjoyed the Halloween party last week

[00:03:20] Which was surprising to me

[00:03:22] Because I didn't see it coming

[00:03:24] Did you know that Helga the witch was really Shannon?

[00:03:27] Get out of here

[00:03:27] I know

[00:03:28] What are you talking about?

[00:03:29] I have it on good authority

[00:03:31] That that's what

[00:03:31] So wait, is Shannon a witch?

[00:03:32] Because who I saw

[00:03:34] I know this is an audio platform

[00:03:35] But we see each other

[00:03:36] This is a video recording

[00:03:38] I saw a witch

[00:03:40] Yes, I saw a witch too

[00:03:42] Evidently it was Shannon in costume

[00:03:44] Get the holly jolly out of here

[00:03:47] That's nuts

[00:03:48] I know

[00:03:49] It's amazing, isn't it?

[00:03:50] That is crazy

[00:03:51] You know what else is amazing?

[00:03:52] What's that?

[00:03:52] Our mailbag

[00:03:53] Let's do it

[00:03:54] Letters

[00:04:01] I have a literal letter

[00:04:03] To kick things off with, Scotty

[00:04:05] I know we also have an email

[00:04:08] Let's do it

[00:04:08] But Jill and Xavier

[00:04:10] Sent over a package to you and I

[00:04:13] Which we're going to be diving into

[00:04:15] Throughout the month of November

[00:04:17] At the very least

[00:04:18] But she also included a card

[00:04:20] Which says to the both of you

[00:04:21] Just a little gift

[00:04:22] A little gift

[00:04:23] All right

[00:04:24] This is a big gift

[00:04:25] Yeah

[00:04:25] This is way more than a little gift

[00:04:27] Just a little gift of appreciation

[00:04:29] For you

[00:04:30] And the podcast

[00:04:31] I picked up a few things

[00:04:33] That I thought that you might like

[00:04:34] And then

[00:04:35] The actual card says

[00:04:37] Very, very much

[00:04:37] So we'll see

[00:04:39] We'll see

[00:04:40] I'm excited about this

[00:04:41] They're not from here

[00:04:43] Is that right, Scotty?

[00:04:44] Yeah, they're from the UK

[00:04:45] So

[00:04:46] At great time and expense to Jill

[00:04:49] And

[00:04:49] Let's do one thing

[00:04:51] Let's pronounce her son's name properly

[00:04:53] It's Xavier

[00:04:54] As if it starts with a Z

[00:04:55] Okay

[00:04:56] Xavier

[00:04:57] A great time and expense to them

[00:04:59] They sent this for us

[00:05:01] So generous

[00:05:01] And

[00:05:02] I love it

[00:05:03] And we've divvied it up

[00:05:04] Yes

[00:05:04] And sent each other

[00:05:06] You know

[00:05:07] Bits and bobs from it

[00:05:08] And we're going to

[00:05:08] We're going to try to spread it out

[00:05:10] I don't think we should try to eat

[00:05:12] This entire box at once

[00:05:13] No, I think that

[00:05:14] That would be

[00:05:15] That would be a mistake

[00:05:16] Now, Scotty

[00:05:18] You obviously

[00:05:19] Have to do the sugar-free stuff

[00:05:21] And so

[00:05:21] I was excited to find out

[00:05:23] That there was sugar-free stuff

[00:05:24] Inside the box

[00:05:25] Including today's item

[00:05:27] Which is

[00:05:28] The sugar-free

[00:05:32] Viennese shorties

[00:05:33] Is what it says on the box

[00:05:34] Okay

[00:05:34] Viennese shorties

[00:05:36] Which is what I've been calling you

[00:05:37] For a long time

[00:05:38] My little Viennese shorty

[00:05:40] But this is from

[00:05:41] Farmhouse Biscuits

[00:05:43] And they are sugar-free

[00:05:44] They're made with sweetener

[00:05:47] Is what it says

[00:05:47] And they're like little

[00:05:50] They're like little

[00:05:51] I guess shortbread cookies

[00:05:53] Scotty, I guess

[00:05:54] Is what you would describe them

[00:05:55] Now, typically in the U.S.

[00:05:56] When something says a shorty

[00:05:58] It's a little sausage stick

[00:06:00] Yes

[00:06:00] So I was confused at first

[00:06:02] I'm on board now

[00:06:04] They're shorties

[00:06:04] And so

[00:06:06] Shortbread

[00:06:07] Shortbread

[00:06:07] Shortbread

[00:06:08] It's shorty

[00:06:08] So those are really cool

[00:06:10] And I like the packaging here

[00:06:12] It's very nice

[00:06:13] It's very nice

[00:06:14] And then I got myself

[00:06:15] Something that I'm very excited about

[00:06:17] And I actually have

[00:06:18] Tried these before

[00:06:19] And it was an enjoyable process

[00:06:21] But it is

[00:06:22] The Barnaby chocolate milk straws

[00:06:25] Scotty

[00:06:26] Oh, see

[00:06:27] I've been saying for a long time

[00:06:29] That I need my straws

[00:06:30] To be more chocolate

[00:06:31] I know

[00:06:32] And this is what you do

[00:06:33] So you put milk in a cup, right?

[00:06:35] And then you use the straw

[00:06:37] To suck the milk up

[00:06:39] And it makes it into

[00:06:40] Chocolate milk

[00:06:41] Which is

[00:06:42] Wonderful

[00:06:43] And I gotta be honest

[00:06:44] There's a cow on here

[00:06:46] And it's just a very fun cow

[00:06:50] And it says new on top

[00:06:52] Which I mean, I hope so

[00:06:53] But it is packaged

[00:06:57] And important information here

[00:06:58] If you ever do get one of these

[00:06:59] Do not cut the straw

[00:07:01] Oh, okay

[00:07:02] Just don't do it

[00:07:03] You don't want to know what happens

[00:07:04] If you cut the straw

[00:07:05] Okay

[00:07:06] Why don't we crack these open

[00:07:07] And see what we got here

[00:07:10] Alright, you go first

[00:07:11] Okay

[00:07:11] While I try to get these shorties open

[00:07:13] Gotta be honest

[00:07:14] Pretty wonderful

[00:07:15] Pretty wonderful experience

[00:07:17] From the Barnaby chocolate milk straws

[00:07:19] Now, the shorties here

[00:07:21] Yeah

[00:07:21] Shortbread cookies tend to be

[00:07:24] A little more dry

[00:07:25] And a little less sweet

[00:07:27] And I like my stuff

[00:07:29] Very wet and sweet

[00:07:30] I guess

[00:07:30] I don't know

[00:07:32] But these are good

[00:07:33] And I've got it with a little coffee

[00:07:35] While we're recording this

[00:07:36] Yeah

[00:07:37] That's a pleasant experience

[00:07:38] So we're one for one already

[00:07:41] So thoughtful

[00:07:42] One for one

[00:07:43] And we'll be diving into this

[00:07:45] Throughout the month

[00:07:46] Which is gonna be really fun

[00:07:48] One

[00:07:48] Because we just couldn't possibly

[00:07:50] Try it all today

[00:07:51] But two

[00:07:52] Yeah

[00:07:52] It's kind of like a November advent calendar

[00:07:55] If you think about it

[00:07:56] It does spread the fun out

[00:07:57] It's kind of like how I make my kid

[00:07:58] Wait and open some gifts

[00:08:00] Later on Christmas Day

[00:08:01] There you go

[00:08:02] So that it's not just

[00:08:03] You know like 8am

[00:08:04] Everything's done

[00:08:05] And then they're like

[00:08:05] What else?

[00:08:06] What do we do now?

[00:08:07] Yeah

[00:08:07] That is what we sound like too

[00:08:09] You and I

[00:08:10] So thank you so much to Jill and Xavier

[00:08:13] So wonderful

[00:08:14] To get this box

[00:08:15] With all these goodies in it

[00:08:16] And we can't wait to

[00:08:17] To check out everything else

[00:08:18] That's not

[00:08:19] Yep

[00:08:19] And we have another one

[00:08:20] From Sweden as well

[00:08:21] That we're going to be doing

[00:08:23] In the coming

[00:08:24] We're so international

[00:08:25] I think we're gonna do that one

[00:08:26] Next week

[00:08:26] Because you're still waiting

[00:08:27] For the box

[00:08:27] That I sent you half of

[00:08:29] Yes

[00:08:29] Okay

[00:08:30] And I have one more email

[00:08:31] From Bill Radowski

[00:08:32] Bill says

[00:08:49] It will seal the deal

[00:08:51] Bill

[00:08:52] I would love to say hello to you

[00:08:54] I don't actually know

[00:08:55] Where we are sitting

[00:09:17] That's awesome

[00:09:18] Mill

[00:09:19] Thank you so much

[00:09:20] Try to get that right

[00:09:20] Before you meet him

[00:09:21] Okay

[00:09:21] Hey Mill

[00:09:22] How are you doing buddy

[00:09:23] It's great to see you

[00:09:24] I got a review actually Scotty

[00:09:27] Saints be praised

[00:09:29] How did this happen

[00:09:29] Let's hear it

[00:09:31] I don't know

[00:09:31] I don't know

[00:09:32] I have a feeling

[00:09:33] That this is going to

[00:09:34] Quickly be a part of the show

[00:09:36] That we don't mention anymore

[00:09:38] In the coming weeks

[00:09:39] But we do have a review

[00:09:41] From Matt James UK

[00:09:44] Over in Great Britain

[00:09:45] Does it call us crappy turds?

[00:09:47] They don't call us crappy turds

[00:09:49] Alright excellent

[00:09:49] Actually I haven't read

[00:09:50] The whole review yet

[00:09:51] So we'll see if they snuck it

[00:09:52] In there at the end

[00:09:53] If like me

[00:09:54] You have to endure

[00:09:56] The rest of the year

[00:09:57] To get to the festive season

[00:09:59] Then this is the podcast for you

[00:10:01] With their weekly episodes

[00:10:02] You can stretch that festive feeling

[00:10:04] All year long

[00:10:05] And the party episodes

[00:10:07] Make it feel

[00:10:07] Like we get Christmas

[00:10:09] Once again

[00:10:09] A month

[00:10:10] They even put in

[00:10:11] The hard yards

[00:10:12] In January

[00:10:14] Oh I like that expression

[00:10:15] Hard yards

[00:10:15] In January

[00:10:16] When other pods

[00:10:18] Are taking a break

[00:10:19] That's right

[00:10:20] We take one week off

[00:10:23] In January

[00:10:23] That's right

[00:10:24] With Christmas morning

[00:10:26] You can shamelessly

[00:10:27] Enjoy Christmas all year

[00:10:29] Safe

[00:10:29] Is the knowledge

[00:10:31] That there are other

[00:10:32] Christmas weirdos

[00:10:34] Just like us

[00:10:35] And that is from

[00:10:36] Matt James

[00:10:36] Thank you so much

[00:10:37] Matt James

[00:10:38] From the UK

[00:10:39] We are so international

[00:10:42] Scotty

[00:10:42] I like that

[00:10:43] And some people might think

[00:10:44] That Christmas weirdo

[00:10:46] Would be a disparaging remark

[00:10:48] Oh no

[00:10:48] I take that as the best compliment

[00:10:50] Right there

[00:10:50] That's right

[00:10:50] I am a Christmas weirdo

[00:10:52] He didn't call us

[00:10:53] Craps

[00:10:54] He did call us weirdos

[00:10:56] But we

[00:10:56] That's an endearing term

[00:10:58] For sure

[00:10:58] I like it

[00:10:59] That's right

[00:11:00] You got a joke for us today?

[00:11:02] Yeah they're pretty awful

[00:11:03] This week

[00:11:03] Oh good

[00:11:03] Are you ready?

[00:11:04] I can't wait

[00:11:04] What do snowmen eat for lunch?

[00:11:07] Ooh

[00:11:07] Um

[00:11:08] Uh

[00:11:09] Ice

[00:11:10] Ice cubes

[00:11:11] Close

[00:11:12] Ice burgers

[00:11:13] Waka waka

[00:11:15] Ice burgers

[00:11:17] Yeah

[00:11:17] So iceberg

[00:11:18] Is a thing

[00:11:20] Right

[00:11:20] And then a burger

[00:11:21] Is a thing

[00:11:22] So if you mix them together

[00:11:24] You get

[00:11:24] Ice burgers

[00:11:25] There's gotta be

[00:11:26] Something more missing there

[00:11:27] It can't be that bad

[00:11:28] Right?

[00:11:29] There's gotta be

[00:11:29] Some sort of pun

[00:11:30] There is somebody

[00:11:32] Out there

[00:11:32] Listening right now

[00:11:33] Who had to pull their car over

[00:11:35] They were laughing so hard

[00:11:38] Ice burgers

[00:11:39] They said it

[00:11:40] Uh

[00:11:41] Somebody

[00:11:41] Wrote that joke

[00:11:43] Knowing it was bad

[00:11:44] Put it on the internet

[00:11:45] To trick us

[00:11:46] Into reading it

[00:11:47] One episode

[00:11:48] And so

[00:11:48] Shout out to that person

[00:11:49] The good people

[00:11:50] At pioneer woman dot com

[00:11:51] I guess

[00:11:52] Oh the pioneer women

[00:11:53] They love us over there

[00:11:54] They love us

[00:11:54] Uh

[00:11:55] Let's do the countdown

[00:11:56] Days until Christmas

[00:12:05] 51 Scott

[00:12:08] That's

[00:12:08] Fantastic

[00:12:09] I thought

[00:12:10] Because of the kerfuffle

[00:12:11] Like a full disclosure

[00:12:12] It was my fault

[00:12:13] That we did not have

[00:12:14] A Friday episode

[00:12:15] Last week

[00:12:15] Just completely

[00:12:16] Ran out of time

[00:12:17] With the Wednesday episode

[00:12:18] Then the Halloween episode

[00:12:20] And trying to get

[00:12:21] Everything together

[00:12:21] So I appreciate

[00:12:22] Everybody's patience

[00:12:23] And I was worried

[00:12:24] For a minute

[00:12:25] That we were gonna

[00:12:25] Miss the 50

[00:12:26] Whew

[00:12:27] Thank goodness

[00:12:27] We did not miss the 50

[00:12:28] That would've

[00:12:29] That would've been

[00:12:30] Uh

[00:12:30] I wouldn't have let that happen

[00:12:32] I mean

[00:12:32] I would've figured out a way

[00:12:34] I just gotta say

[00:12:35] You can take all the blame

[00:12:36] That you want to

[00:12:36] But at the end of the day

[00:12:37] It was me that said

[00:12:39] That we were doing

[00:12:39] A Halloween episode

[00:12:40] So I apologize

[00:12:41] I apologize

[00:12:43] Uh

[00:12:43] We got a good number

[00:12:45] Of episodes for the year

[00:12:46] So I don't feel terrible

[00:12:47] About it

[00:12:48] That's true

[00:12:48] So next year

[00:12:49] We'll have to make sure

[00:12:50] We say

[00:12:50] Whatever the first Monday

[00:12:52] In November is

[00:12:53] Is when we go daily

[00:12:53] That's right

[00:12:54] That's right

[00:12:55] Um

[00:12:55] 51 is crazy though

[00:12:57] Yeah

[00:12:57] I'm really excited

[00:12:58] For tomorrow

[00:12:59] Not to get ahead

[00:12:59] Of ourselves

[00:13:00] I know

[00:13:01] You know

[00:13:01] Maybe Wednesday

[00:13:02] When we're at 49

[00:13:03] But in general

[00:13:04] What a low number

[00:13:05] What a low number

[00:13:06] It's actually pretty shocking

[00:13:07] So

[00:13:08] Uh

[00:13:09] Take today

[00:13:10] Breathe a little bit

[00:13:11] Enjoy the start of the season

[00:13:13] With us

[00:13:14] Cause uh

[00:13:14] It's gonna be a really fun season

[00:13:15] It is the start of the season

[00:13:16] We're past all of that

[00:13:18] Halloween nonsense

[00:13:19] The opening act

[00:13:20] Of Christmas

[00:13:21] We're

[00:13:21] We're in it now

[00:13:45] I can't get mad at the excitement

[00:13:46] Uh

[00:13:52] Yeah

[00:13:53] They're not so serious

[00:13:54] They're not so serious

[00:13:56] And they don't start Christmas

[00:13:57] Until like

[00:13:58] The second week of November

[00:15:47] In the app here

[00:15:48] That's

[00:15:48] Amazing

[00:15:49] And some of these

[00:15:50] Brand

[00:15:50] I'm just intrigued

[00:15:51] By the name

[00:15:52] Sleep Christmas

[00:15:54] What is that?

[00:15:55] It's meditative versions

[00:15:56] Of classic Christmas melodies

[00:15:57] Or the

[00:15:58] Mannheim Steamroller

[00:16:00] Christmas exclusive station

[00:16:02] Shout out to my buddy Chad

[00:16:04] Who cannot stand

[00:16:05] Mannheim Steamroller

[00:16:06] Uh

[00:16:06] Love that

[00:16:07] For me

[00:16:08] Uh

[00:16:09] Then we've got

[00:16:10] The Trans-Siberian Orchestra

[00:16:11] Radio

[00:16:12] That sounds good

[00:16:13] Cool Jazz Christmas

[00:16:14] Real Jazz Christmas

[00:16:15] Both of those

[00:16:16] Sound great to me

[00:16:17] Then there's the

[00:16:18] There's an instrumental channel

[00:16:19] Oh

[00:16:20] Which I think is

[00:16:21] You can only listen to that

[00:16:22] On Fridays

[00:16:22] I think it's new

[00:16:24] Yeah we'll do

[00:16:25] Um

[00:16:25] But uh

[00:16:26] I think that

[00:16:27] That might be new

[00:16:28] For this year

[00:16:28] The Holiday Instrumentals

[00:16:30] I've never seen that one before

[00:16:31] Um

[00:16:31] And it's

[00:16:32] And it's live now

[00:16:33] New Year's Nation

[00:16:34] You can kick rocks there

[00:16:35] But

[00:16:35] This one sounds neat

[00:16:36] Smokey's Holiday Soul Town

[00:16:38] Which sounds like

[00:16:39] A barbecue restaurant

[00:16:40] It does

[00:16:41] It does

[00:16:41] There's also another

[00:16:42] New channel I believe

[00:16:43] Which is

[00:16:44] Holidays with

[00:16:45] Jesse and Friends

[00:16:46] Who's Jesse

[00:16:46] You might ask

[00:16:47] None other than

[00:16:48] Jesse

[00:16:49] Ventura

[00:16:49] Crew Shank

[00:16:51] Uh

[00:16:51] Crew

[00:16:52] Crew

[00:16:54] Don't know who she is

[00:16:55] But she's got friends

[00:16:56] And festive songs

[00:16:58] And so

[00:16:58] Uh

[00:16:59] So many

[00:17:00] Uh

[00:17:00] Channels are live right now

[00:17:01] In the app

[00:17:02] And the best part of it all

[00:17:03] Is there are some live right now

[00:17:05] On the actual

[00:17:06] XM Radio itself

[00:17:07] That's always big doings for me

[00:17:09] I love

[00:17:10] Love

[00:17:10] Love

[00:17:12] I infrequently get in the car

[00:17:13] Because I work at home

[00:17:14] But getting in there

[00:17:15] And turning it on

[00:17:16] Makes it more real

[00:17:17] It doesn't feel as real in the app

[00:17:19] Because I can always just put on

[00:17:21] Spotify or Apple Music

[00:17:22] And find Christmas music

[00:17:23] But I like the uh

[00:17:25] The Hallmark one

[00:17:26] Because then you hear

[00:17:27] The Hallmark celebrities

[00:17:29] Actors

[00:17:30] And they do little

[00:17:31] Little

[00:17:31] Little talking bits

[00:17:32] And uh

[00:17:33] It's fantastic

[00:17:34] So this is some of the best news

[00:17:35] Of all year

[00:17:36] Now Scotty

[00:17:37] One bit of news

[00:17:38] Locally here

[00:17:39] Is that the channel

[00:17:41] That plays

[00:17:42] That usually

[00:17:43] Switches over to Christmas music

[00:17:44] The one that went belly up

[00:17:46] Right

[00:17:46] Or got sold

[00:17:47] And it

[00:17:47] It's now like

[00:17:48] The Farm Report

[00:17:49] It got sold

[00:17:49] Now it's a Spanish channel

[00:17:51] Which is nice

[00:17:52] But you know

[00:17:54] What channel is going to switch

[00:17:56] To all Christmas

[00:17:57] You will have to ask me later

[00:17:59] You were very worried about that

[00:18:00] I'm very worried

[00:18:01] And as of right now

[00:18:02] I don't have an answer for you

[00:18:04] And so

[00:18:04] I will try to keep you posted

[00:18:06] As I remember

[00:18:06] On what is happening locally

[00:18:08] In regards to

[00:18:10] Who's playing the Christmas music

[00:18:11] This year

[00:18:12] It's a thing that I've

[00:18:14] Lost sleep over

[00:18:15] Yeah

[00:18:15] Both of our listeners

[00:18:16] We'll be very excited

[00:18:17] To hear that

[00:18:18] I know

[00:18:18] I know

[00:18:19] I know

[00:18:20] Let's

[00:18:21] Let's take a quick break

[00:18:22] And we're going to come back

[00:18:23] We're going to get to

[00:18:23] Some TV specials

[00:18:26] Christmas music battle

[00:18:29] Another season

[00:18:30] Scotty

[00:21:08] keep it a little

[00:21:09] bit of a secret

[00:21:09] and so

[00:21:11] it's very exciting

[00:21:12] well also to give

[00:21:13] you enough time

[00:21:13] to vote

[00:21:14] that's right

[00:21:14] because you can

[00:21:15] vote from now

[00:21:16] until probably

[00:21:17] New Year's Eve

[00:21:18] maybe

[00:21:18] yes I believe

[00:21:19] I believe so

[00:21:20] yes and so

[00:21:20] you can vote

[00:21:21] whenever you want

[00:21:22] to because there

[00:21:23] are people that

[00:21:23] don't listen

[00:21:23] every day

[00:21:24] sometimes they

[00:21:24] binge it

[00:21:25] on a certain

[00:21:25] day where

[00:21:26] they have

[00:21:26] more time

[00:21:26] or whatever

[00:21:27] it is

[00:21:27] and so

[00:21:27] we want

[00:21:27] to make

[00:21:28] sure

[00:21:28] that everybody

[00:21:28] can vote

[00:21:29] that wants

[00:21:29] to vote

[00:21:30] which by the way

[00:21:31] get out

[00:21:31] and vote

[00:21:32] tomorrow

[00:21:32] exactly

[00:21:34] so Scotty

[00:21:35] we have a

[00:21:36] bunch of songs

[00:21:37] that we're going

[00:21:37] to be battling

[00:21:37] this year

[00:21:38] we put together

[00:21:39] a little list

[00:21:40] with the help

[00:21:40] of a little bit

[00:21:41] of AI

[00:21:41] to make sure

[00:21:42] that we didn't

[00:21:43] you put together

[00:21:44] a list

[00:21:44] but I signed

[00:21:45] off on it

[00:21:45] so sure

[00:21:46] you did sign

[00:21:46] off

[00:21:46] something we did

[00:21:49] last year

[00:21:49] which I think

[00:21:51] worked really well

[00:21:51] and we kind of

[00:21:52] also did it

[00:21:53] throughout the year

[00:21:54] but we are going

[00:21:54] to battle

[00:21:55] an original song

[00:21:56] every Tuesday

[00:21:57] and an instrumental

[00:21:57] song every Friday

[00:21:59] and so the other

[00:22:00] days of the week

[00:22:00] will be different

[00:22:02] classic Christmas

[00:22:02] songs that you

[00:22:03] know and love

[00:22:03] yep

[00:22:04] and believe it

[00:22:05] or not

[00:22:05] we've already

[00:22:06] picked most

[00:22:07] of the songs

[00:22:08] that we're going

[00:22:08] to do this year

[00:22:09] because I don't

[00:22:10] want to wake up

[00:22:11] in the morning

[00:22:11] and go

[00:22:12] oh no

[00:22:12] and because I

[00:22:14] have to go

[00:22:14] find a song

[00:22:15] every day

[00:22:15] that's right

[00:22:16] that's right

[00:22:17] up first

[00:22:18] is Jingle Bell

[00:22:20] Rock

[00:22:20] Jingle Bell

[00:22:22] Rock

[00:22:22] is a real

[00:22:24] classic

[00:22:25] you love

[00:22:26] this song

[00:22:26] Scotty

[00:22:26] if I remember

[00:22:27] correctly

[00:22:27] it's in your

[00:22:28] top 10

[00:22:29] Christmas songs

[00:22:30] of all time

[00:22:31] am I remembering

[00:22:31] that correctly

[00:22:32] and the

[00:22:32] diss list episode

[00:22:33] that you joined

[00:22:34] us for

[00:22:34] is that what

[00:22:35] I said

[00:22:35] oh yes

[00:22:36] yes I did

[00:22:37] I think it was

[00:22:38] yes because of

[00:22:39] the intro

[00:22:41] that guitar lick

[00:22:42] really does it

[00:22:42] for you

[00:22:43] yeah yeah

[00:22:43] did you like

[00:22:47] that

[00:22:48] that was pretty

[00:22:48] good

[00:22:49] I mean

[00:22:49] I can't believe

[00:22:50] you whipped out

[00:22:50] the guitar

[00:22:51] and played

[00:22:51] that right now

[00:22:52] that was

[00:22:52] incredible

[00:22:53] incredible

[00:22:53] so we got

[00:22:54] two versions

[00:22:55] for the folks

[00:22:56] today Scotty

[00:22:56] let's get

[00:22:57] started

[00:22:57] this first

[00:22:58] version is

[00:22:59] Jingle Bell

[00:23:00] Rock by

[00:23:00] the Porchistas

[00:23:02] I like that

[00:23:58] chugging guitar

[00:23:59] in there

[00:23:59] brand

[00:23:59] chuggy chuggy

[00:24:00] nothing's more

[00:24:01] rock than

[00:24:01] chugga chugga

[00:24:02] I mean

[00:24:03] you can't do

[00:24:04] rock without

[00:24:05] the chugga chugga

[00:24:05] and Jingle Bell

[00:24:06] Rock that's an

[00:24:07] upbeat festive

[00:24:07] song that

[00:24:08] that's a moving

[00:24:09] song it's not

[00:24:10] one that I'm

[00:24:11] going to sit

[00:24:11] on the couch

[00:24:12] with the snow

[00:24:13] falling gently

[00:24:13] in the

[00:24:14] in the window

[00:24:15] like the end

[00:24:16] of Christmas

[00:24:17] story no no

[00:24:17] no this is

[00:24:18] this is a

[00:24:18] montage song

[00:24:19] and most of

[00:24:20] the things I

[00:24:20] do at Christmas

[00:24:21] involve a

[00:24:22] montage so

[00:24:23] good pick

[00:24:24] it's always

[00:24:24] good to start

[00:24:25] off the season

[00:24:25] with a not

[00:24:25] beat song

[00:24:26] and so I

[00:24:27] think listen

[00:24:27] the porch

[00:24:28] the porchistas

[00:24:29] if I'm saying

[00:24:30] it correctly

[00:24:30] did deliver

[00:24:31] on that call

[00:24:32] let's see what

[00:24:33] else we got

[00:24:34] this second

[00:24:35] version is

[00:24:35] Jingle Bell

[00:24:36] Rock by

[00:24:37] Animans

[00:24:42] Jingle Bell

[00:24:45] Jingle Bell

[00:24:46] now the

[00:25:08] jingle hop

[00:25:09] has begun

[00:25:40] Gotti this is

[00:25:41] not the first

[00:25:42] time that

[00:25:43] Animans has

[00:25:43] been featured

[00:25:44] on the show

[00:25:45] they did

[00:25:45] get featured

[00:25:46] I believe

[00:25:46] it was last

[00:25:47] holiday season

[00:25:48] and it was

[00:25:48] equally as

[00:25:49] weird as

[00:25:50] what that

[00:25:51] was I'm

[00:25:52] going to go

[00:25:52] look real

[00:25:53] quick and

[00:25:53] see what the

[00:25:54] song was

[00:25:55] that they

[00:25:56] battled

[00:25:56] well perhaps

[00:25:57] somebody is

[00:25:57] saying you

[00:25:58] know what

[00:25:59] I'm starting

[00:26:00] to get in

[00:26:00] the spirit

[00:26:01] but I'm not

[00:26:01] quite ready

[00:26:02] for the music

[00:26:02] well maybe

[00:26:03] they want

[00:26:03] something a

[00:26:04] little weird

[00:26:04] to get going

[00:26:05] boy I

[00:26:06] brought Animans

[00:26:07] last Christmas

[00:26:08] Eve

[00:26:09] Santa Claus

[00:26:10] is coming

[00:26:10] to town

[00:26:11] if you can

[00:26:11] believe it

[00:26:12] Scotty I

[00:26:12] didn't win

[00:26:13] that one

[00:26:13] apparently

[00:26:14] people didn't

[00:26:14] want the

[00:26:15] weird Santa

[00:26:15] Claus is coming

[00:26:16] to town on

[00:26:16] Christmas Eve

[00:26:17] shocker

[00:26:18] I know

[00:26:18] but maybe

[00:26:19] they want

[00:26:19] the weird

[00:26:21] Jingle Bell

[00:26:21] Rock on

[00:26:22] November 4th

[00:26:24] exactly I

[00:26:25] don't want to

[00:26:25] wrap up the

[00:26:26] season with

[00:26:26] weird maybe I

[00:26:27] want to start

[00:26:27] it off with

[00:26:28] weird I

[00:26:28] think that's

[00:26:29] a good play

[00:26:30] not that we

[00:26:30] know that you

[00:26:31] brought that

[00:26:31] but whoever

[00:26:33] brought it

[00:26:34] maybe is

[00:26:34] willing to

[00:26:35] start off

[00:26:35] the holiday

[00:26:36] season a little

[00:26:36] bit weirder than

[00:26:37] when how they

[00:26:38] end it

[00:26:38] that's right

[00:26:39] we did it

[00:26:40] we did it

[00:26:41] we didn't exactly

[00:26:41] get the shorter

[00:26:42] episode that we

[00:26:43] promised today

[00:26:44] but that's okay

[00:26:45] we had a little

[00:26:46] housekeeping and get

[00:26:47] through at the

[00:26:47] beginning of this

[00:26:48] they are going to

[00:26:49] be a little

[00:26:49] shorter but hey

[00:26:51] just enjoy it

[00:26:52] the point of all

[00:26:53] of this is to

[00:26:54] stop and take a

[00:26:55] breath every day

[00:26:56] and you know

[00:26:57] appreciate that we

[00:26:58] are getting closer

[00:26:59] without the season

[00:27:00] just going by in a

[00:27:01] flash so I hope you

[00:27:02] got to do that

[00:27:02] today

[00:27:02] that's right and

[00:27:03] the good news is

[00:27:04] we're gonna be back

[00:27:04] tomorrow with another

[00:27:05] episode hopefully
