  Speaker 1: Yesterday, Carrie, you tease us a little bit with page
• 0:07
  Niebauer and some secrets to doing some Christmas bits that
• 0:12
  will make our radio show pop.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Well, this guy, Paige Nyebarry, he's like one of the
• 0:16
  top consultant radio consultants in the industry.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: I think he may be the best. Yeah, that's what
• 0:23
  they say, that's what he says.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: But he gave us a list of the I think
• 0:27
  it's thirty seven bits of Christmas.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: So the things are going to put us over the edge.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Guarantee if we do this, we'll be number one in
• 0:37
  no time.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Okay, it's Radio from Hell with another list because people
• 0:42
  love a good list X ninety six.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Let me get my notebook here, all right, I'm not
• 0:47
  going to do all thirty seven.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We're going to do a few here.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Morning show Christmas pageant, a Christmas for all the listeners
• 0:57
  who didn't get chosen to be in the school's production.
• 1:00
  Finally you can be in it. The audience will be
• 1:04
  way larger than than the crowded masses in the gym.
• 1:08
  Write up a quick play about the holidays at your station,
• 1:12
  throwing some standards and your set. You put on a play.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Who we get to be the baby Jesus. I wonder
• 1:20
  we have to the horse a crash.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Isn't that obvious? It would be Geena. It would be
• 1:27
  Gina because she would remain seated. I don't get to
• 1:31
  be merry.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: You'd have to be merry because you're Catholic.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: There's another hurry. Was I think she was?
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Santa Idol, which is a talent competition in studio between.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Mall Santa to get people get.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Mal Santa's and they come in and they would they
• 1:54
  would sing a song or something, or just.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Get people to come in and be say, let's see
• 2:01
  if you're qualified to be a Santa.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: See the possibilities are, and there really are. So I
• 2:07
  don't think that's true.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I think at some point you will have run out
• 2:10
  of bust.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Uh. Mary matrimony, Mary matrimony, Emmy r R y Oh.
• 2:20
  You know what no station has ever done, Mary Santa.
• 2:25
  What You could either find a mal Santa in a
• 2:28
  long relationship and you ambush his girlfriend at work, or
• 2:33
  you bring in mister and Missus Claus to renew their
• 2:35
  vows on the air surrounded by elves.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: This could get you arrested. I think.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Mary, see I think it would be better if you
• 2:44
  just had somebody who was licensed to marry people and
• 2:47
  have them dressed as Santa. Yeah, that's what I thought.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: It could get.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Married by that. That's what I would do married by.
• 2:53
  But I'm not Paige. No single mom seeks Santa.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: It's the what you.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: Fantas, what you think.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, what you do is you get moms to bring
• 3:09
  in those hard together, hard to put together toys, you know,
• 3:13
  single single moms. No, don't grown at this bill. This
• 3:17
  is a great idea, and single guys can help them
• 3:20
  put them together so that on Christmas morning they're already
• 3:22
  assembled for the kids.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I they it would do that on the radio, that
• 3:28
  would be really well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying I have been single mom at
• 3:33
  Christmas and having to put things together that I couldn't
• 3:36
  put together. Well, it'd be nice to have some help.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: But this does two things. It helps out single moms
• 3:41
  and allows single moms to come meet single guys who
• 3:43
  are cool with them having kids.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I don't this one.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: I don't mind this one.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Well, when you like, that's fine and real, but but
• 3:49
  how does it how does it come across on the radio.
• 3:54
  I don't know.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: A scroogeous boss contest. Have all the people call in
• 4:01
  with stories about how cheap their employers. That's a good expole. Actually,
• 4:05
  then throw a giant nightclub party for the staff of
• 4:08
  all these companies.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: I mean not that we're not going to do that,
• 4:10
  but maybe for an expole.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's a good way to get a
• 4:14
  lot of people in our audience fired.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Well, you don't see the name of the business.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Oh, they figure it out.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: Let's see holiday party at the station. They got a
• 4:25
  guy who played piano at Mall's during the shopping season
• 4:28
  and set him up in the lobby. Then they had
• 4:31
  punch and cookies and mistletoe and a tree, and people
• 4:34
  from downtown buildings could wander over throughout the day, meet
• 4:37
  the staff, mingle and register for prize.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: Now we had for a few years the radio from
• 4:43
  Hell Santa our official. We hired an actor to play
• 4:49
  Santa and come to our to our events we've done.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Here's one hospital visits an oldie but a goody. Unless
• 5:00
  you've never dressed as Santa and gone to children's hospital,
• 5:03
  you'll never know how large of a promotion this is.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So so you're you're going going for ratings on the
• 5:09
  misery of children.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: But I was fired because I refused to dress up
• 5:13
  as Santa. What what is that story and go visit
• 5:16
  the hospital?
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: How do I not know this story?
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: First radio gig, they said, we want you to dress
• 5:22
  up as Santa and go visit people at the hospital.
• 5:26
  And I said why me? I said, well, you just
• 5:29
  seem like a good candidate. I said, it's because I'm
• 5:31
  the fat one, right, No, no, why don't you dress
• 5:35
  up as Santa and go visit them?
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And you got fired.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: We don't like your attitude. He was looking for a
• 5:41
  reason to fire me.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: How have I never heard that story a.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: Long long time?
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: It was my first radio gig.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: He was picking on me because I was the fat
• 5:49
  person in the building. I was like, no, you do it,
• 5:53
  you do it. He was mad at me for being
• 5:56
  barefoot in the station anyway, So.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I think I think it was. I also had a
• 6:00
  lot to do with the fact that you always get
• 6:02
  the new person to do stuff because nobody else wants
• 6:06
  to do it. I've been there a year.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: And a half by the moment, so it's hardly the
• 6:10
  new person anyway. All right, Well, there's just a few
• 6:13
  we've hoped you'd enjoyed another list with Radio from Hell
• 6:17
  on X ninety six. There's more.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: I don't think we'll do any of those things.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: None of those things.
