- 0:00Hey if any of you are looking for any last minute gift ideas
- 0:05for me. I have one.
- 0:08I'd like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here tonight.
- 0:12I want him brought from his happy holiday slumber over there
- 0:15on Melody Lane with all the other rich people.
- 0:17And I want him brought right here with a big ribbon on his
- 0:20head. I want to look him straight in
- 0:23the eye. I don't want to tell him what a
- 0:24cheap, lying, no good rotten fork flushing, lowlife, snake
- 0:28licking, dirt eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood
- 0:32sucking, dog kissing, brainless, hopeless, heartless, fat ass bug
- 0:37eyed, stiff legged, spotty lip worm headed sack of monkey shit
- 0:41he is. Hallelujah.
- 0:44Holy. Where's the Tylenol?
- 0:52Classic. Oh man, it never gets old.
- 0:56Never gets old. Never.
- 0:57It never gets old, boys. It never ever, ever gets old.
- 1:01One of the best movies ever. And that's going.
- 1:03It kind of leads us in to welcome to another live edition
- 1:07of the Tigs Bits podcast. Today, we're simply going to
- 1:11have a discussion about Christmas movies and songs and
- 1:14we're going to do something kind of fun with them.
- 1:17We're creating an NCAA tournament style bracket and
- 1:21matching them up. Today is the selection show.
- 1:24So we're going to pick the 16 teams that we feel are the best
- 1:29songs and are the best movies, and then we're going to put them
- 1:32into a bracket. Look, we're going to have that
- 1:35final field coming out of the the 16 songs in movies next
- 1:40week. When we do, our Christmas show
- 1:42will reveal the winners on our Christmas episode.
- 1:45So this is going to be fun. It's going to be lively
- 1:47discussion. If it's anything like the
- 1:50conversations my wife and I had last night over this, it's going
- 1:55to be pretty good. There's going to be songs that
- 1:57are not going to make this top 16 that we all come up with that
- 2:00people are just going to think we're insane about.
- 2:03So, boys, welcome. This is going to be fun.
- 2:07How are you all doing? Absolutely, yeah.
- 2:10Glad to do it, man. Even watching that little
- 2:12snippet to start the show, just got the juices flowing on all
- 2:15the good scenes in that movie. You know you can't.
- 2:19I mean, there's just one after another.
- 2:20Charisse and I this past weekend watched Home Alone one and Two
- 2:25back-to-back while we were in Vegas for the night before we
- 2:28flew out, 'cause we had early flight.
- 2:29We just said we went out early that day, did a lot of walking
- 2:32with Fremont, came back and said, how about we just eat
- 2:34dinner in the room, order some room service and watch Christmas
- 2:37movies? I was like, I'm all about it.
- 2:39We watched We Caught Home Alone about two minutes in, right when
- 2:43they left him, right when they realized they left him and we're
- 2:45like, let's go. And then about halfway through I
- 2:47said wouldn't it be something if Two was coming on afterwards?
- 2:50And sure enough the next commercial coming up next Home
- 2:52alone, Two. I'm like, yes, we're not going
- 2:54anywhere. And they were, they were both so
- 2:57good. And that's just and you know
- 3:00we're gonna get into this list. But guys this is gonna be great
- 3:03because there's so many good movies so many good songs that
- 3:05revolve around Christmas and the debate.
- 3:08There's this it's an it's there's no clear cut winner it's
- 3:11gonna. There are no winner.
- 3:12There is no clear cut winner. This is extremely, extremely
- 3:16subjective. You know, and I'll tell you what
- 3:19I I found for me as I was going through trying to create my top
- 3:2116 in each like, so the movies were tough, right?
- 3:24There's some like I could do that, but it was easier.
- 3:26Dude, the songs, that's that's really tough.
- 3:28There's a lot of deserving songs to.
- 3:31Narrow it down, yeah. Oh yeah, I I have a list.
- 3:34And then I went, Oh my Lord, I left this out.
- 3:37This out. This had like an extra 10 or.
- 3:40Sixteens out, yeah. But that's what makes this a
- 3:43selection show. It's tough to narrow it down to
- 3:4516. Man, just imagine how that
- 3:49selection committee felt trying to get 4, just four teams for
- 3:53college football. I think this is.
- 3:56Equally as important, and I think everybody watching will
- 3:59agree that. We've we're ahead of the curve.
- 4:01We've already expanded to 16, though we're not waiting, we're
- 4:04going straight, we're. Going right, we're going right
- 4:06in. We're I said that?
- 4:08I said that last night on the Boots and Whiskey Podcast.
- 4:10He asked me, you know, about the Alabama, Florida State, the
- 4:13selection thing. I'm like, Buddy, they've never
- 4:15gotten it right. This is as close to.
- 4:17I mean, they're trying. Maybe after we get 16 teams in,
- 4:20they'll get it right. But even then, somebody's not
- 4:22going to think it's right. So at least we don't have the
- 4:25newspapers voting on it anymore, is all I can say.
- 4:28Yeah. I don't agree.
- 4:29Using the BCS polling, you know all of the the what was that,
- 4:33the, the duly matrix or whatever wrong, whatever it was.
- 4:37Called, but you know, that's a sport and a competition with
- 4:39numbers. These are we're we're talking
- 4:41about art, we're talking about film and and movies and
- 4:44television and music. So this is so subjective.
- 4:48There are no numbers, you know, I mean, you can't go by the
- 4:50different eras in different times.
- 4:52So you can't go by, you know, box office or number of weeks on
- 4:56the charts or anything like that.
- 4:59But hey, Speaking of if you know we're, I guess we'll bounce back
- 5:02and forth between movies and music or however you want to do.
- 5:05Well, I mean, I think we should probably, if we're going to
- 5:07music is going to take us a while, I think we could start,
- 5:10we could probably just start with movies.
- 5:13OK, let's do that. Down.
- 5:15I mean I, I, I of course we love to.
- 5:20Before we do that, we want to say hello to Paul.
- 5:22Paul is in the is in the chat chilling with us.
- 5:26Hey buddy brother, what's going on?
- 5:28And Jason Hilton, he's back in as well.
- 5:32I'm glad to, glad to see you guys.
- 5:34Welcome, welcome back. Y'all.
- 5:37Make sure to to share it, like it and do all of that stuff.
- 5:41Let's try to build a little crowd 'cause this could be.
- 5:43We could start to get into some some interesting things some
- 5:48some lively debate. No telling what'll happen.
- 5:50This could be. It's kind of funny.
- 5:53Just the other day we whenever we went live, we talked about,
- 5:58talked about this show Wake Up Mensi, which I don't know if
- 6:02anybody watching or anybody is familiar with it but it's a
- 6:05Barstool Sports production and and so they they're all in
- 6:11Chicago at this point. Well, the guy I meant see, he
- 6:15said a racial slur earlier in the year rapping lyrics to a
- 6:19song like, I think he was pretty much set up 'cause it's kind of
- 6:23like an Anchorman, you know, just you put it on the
- 6:25teleprompter, he's going to read it.
- 6:27It doesn't matter what it, what it is.
- 6:29So he was just reading it live and no dump button like no, no
- 6:35delay. There's a delay in all of this
- 6:37whenever you, whenever you stream, but he needs a bigger
- 6:40delay. Well, yesterday Barstool's been
- 6:42doing this Barstool Survivor deal and they've been just, they
- 6:47had a little issue with it being on YouTube.
- 6:50So they they made it pay-per-view and you could watch
- 6:53it through their website, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 6:55They had like 100,000 people though that bought it.
- 6:57So I mean, they've made well over $1,000,000 just on that.
- 7:01So it's and it's good from people that I've heard talking
- 7:04about it and whatnot. If you like reality kind of
- 7:06stuff, that's just dumb people in an office.
- 7:10But anyhow, Mitzi, yesterday on his wake up wake up, it's time
- 7:15to have a little shake up on his little morning show.
- 7:18He's he's coming back, boom. He he he just accidentally
- 7:23dropped the three finalists on that show yesterday, 'cause it's
- 7:28live and he doesn't have a dump button.
- 7:30But anyhow, it just kind of all of that reminded me going into
- 7:34movies. Whenever I used to work at this
- 7:38place called Hogan Hardwoods, we always wanted to set up cameras
- 7:41all around the warehouse because we had these characters, man.
- 7:45I mean, it would have been as good as it, oh, it would have
- 7:49been gold. And that's basically what
- 7:51Barstool has done. They've just got, they have
- 7:53cameras everywhere. They're constantly creating
- 7:56content, doing stuff like we're doing, jumping in on live
- 7:59streams, all of that. Well, Minsi ain't really made
- 8:06for live and and there's a whole video you can see it.
- 8:10Y'all can check it out. The the of Dave Portnoy losing
- 8:14it on Mensi earlier today. It was just just absolutely
- 8:20hilarious, man. Also, you know.
- 8:22But but yeah let me let me grab my little my little notebook.
- 8:27I do have my seeds that I already made.
- 8:32I'm not going to show you. I don't want you to.
- 8:34I don't want to cheat. But we'll go over, I think as a
- 8:38good way. And Merry Christmas to you too.
- 8:40Paul. Thanks for thanks for watching
- 8:43Merry Christmas to you as well. And the the the way that I came
- 8:49up with the list or at least it was very helpful.
- 8:52Using artificial intelligence. Using AI.
- 8:54Hey, AI. What?
- 8:56Give me the top 50 Christmas movies of all time.
- 9:00Give me the top 50 songs of all time.
- 9:03Well, I did multiple. I did a couple of different
- 9:07ones. I went into ChatGPT, it got lazy
- 9:10on me. It gave me 5.
- 9:12Yeah, it gave me 5. And then it said here's the
- 9:14reference link, you can click that to see the rest.
- 9:17OK, look, I heard that I I read an article the other day.
- 9:24I think it was yesterday, that chat.
- 9:27There's people are saying that chat.
- 9:29GPT has gotten lazy because this time of year people start to do
- 9:34a little bit less, they're a little more flexible with their
- 9:36schedules, they're taking breaks, whatever, you know, it's
- 9:39the holiday season, end of the year, blah, blah, blah, the way
- 9:42just the way it is. Well, ChatGPT understands that.
- 9:46And they're modeling themselves after human behavior.
- 9:50They're straight up getting lazy.
- 9:52And that was an instance was just was just yesterday trying
- 9:57to make this list of stuff, you know?
- 9:59So it was, yeah. Terminator's coming.
- 10:03It's coming. But the list was the same that I
- 10:05used on three different sites so they're all using the same
- 10:08reference. So we'll we'll start with movies
- 10:11and this is in no particular order but this is a is we're
- 10:15going to I'm going to give you a is top 16 and I and there's
- 10:20definitely going to be some disagreement #1 Home Alone #2.
- 10:26Elf #3 It's a Wonderful Life #4. The Polar Express #5A Christmas
- 10:34Carol Number six Love Actually #7 The Santa Claus #8.
- 10:41Miracle on 34th St. #9A. Christmas Story #10.
- 10:47National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation #11 The Grinch The 2000
- 10:52version #12. White Christmas #13 The
- 10:57Nightmare The Nightmare Before Christmas #14 Die Hard #15
- 11:04Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Coming in as the 16 Seed.
- 11:10Frosty the Snowman. Any any left out there?
- 11:17I mean any that does should not be on that top 16.
- 11:23I I'll go first on that to me. Die hard, take it off.
- 11:26I just. I don't.
- 11:28I'll start there. I can agree it's a Christmas
- 11:31movie, but there are too many deeper Christmas movies to bump
- 11:35have it on the list to take a spot of Die Hard's a good action
- 11:38movie. It's on another list.
- 11:40It doesn't need to take a spot of an of a full blown Christmas
- 11:44movie in my opinion, but I'm not denying it's a Christmas movie
- 11:48either. I'll it's a it's a it is a
- 11:50Christmas movie. But definitely it doesn't need
- 11:53to take a top 20 spot for a full blown Christmas movie with Santa
- 11:57Claus and all that. I got it at 11 seed.
- 12:00Wow. I I have it at an 8 seed.
- 12:05Wow. We all, everybody, everybody has
- 12:08different angles, you know. Yeah, yeah.
- 12:11Now Paul, Paul, Paul out there, we want this to be interactive.
- 12:15Y'all y'all interact with us. Paul agrees with you about about
- 12:20Die Hard. So we'll we'll see that's going
- 12:22to be, that's all ready. Die Hard is going to be an
- 12:25interesting match up. So I think we Jr. does not agree
- 12:29it should be in Chad and I both do.
- 12:32So it's definitely going to come in as a seed, probably a lower
- 12:35seed. You know, this is what this is
- 12:37about. Today is the selection show Die
- 12:41Hard is right out of the bat. Die Hard is on the fence of You
- 12:45may not make it. We'll see.
- 12:46Like I said, I I would give it like a yeah, a 20 something seed
- 12:49if it was in my if I put it 'cause I'm like I said, I like
- 12:52it. It's a great movie.
- 12:53Ain't nothing wrong with Die Hard at all, but I'm not bumping
- 12:57it. For is 0 and then Brantley's an
- 13:008 on that. I'm just going to keep up with
- 13:01my notes. When we do touch the you want to
- 13:04start at like 16, I can just kind of go down.
- 13:06Let's just see if we agree and where we rank right now, I mean.
- 13:10And I'll tell you this, there's a couple of these in this top
- 13:12list that I don't think I've ever even seen.
- 13:14I don't love, actually. What's that?
- 13:16I've never. Even heard of it.
- 13:17Never seen it. I've heard of it, but.
- 13:20I have no idea what it's about. OK, so we can all agree.
- 13:24Let's take that off the list and go ahead and put #16 frosty the
- 13:27Snowman in that spot. Or 17th the holiday.
- 13:30I don't know that one either though.
- 13:33Yeah, I don't know what the holiday is either.
- 13:36Yeah, I don't. Know Jason Hilton says.
- 13:39No offense. I haven't watched Die Hard since
- 13:41high school, so I mean, it's a polarizing movie this time of
- 13:46year for sure. Well, you know who sent
- 13:48something over to the group and said why?
- 13:50It's a why? It's a Christmas movie.
- 13:53And it got me thinking about it too.
- 13:54It's not a Christmas movie because it's, you know, actually
- 13:56about Christmas. It's about the fact of you
- 13:58having to go to these Christmas parties that you absolutely
- 14:01don't want to be at and then just absolutely a nightmare,
- 14:05right. You know, So and that, hey,
- 14:06that's sometimes that's part of Christmas though.
- 14:08That's what drove it into the top 16 for me.
- 14:11Like, yeah, you know. What I could give it that I I
- 14:13put it right there with Gremlins, you know, Gremlins is
- 14:16a Gremlins is a Gremlins is a horror movie but also a
- 14:19Christmas movie. So I'm not going to put it on my
- 14:20list either because it's it, it's on another list.
- 14:24It kind of rides the line, you know?
- 14:27And you know, I love Gremlins because Hoyt Axton is the guy is
- 14:33the actor playing the dad who brings the gremlin home.
- 14:36Hoyt Axton is a world renowned songwriter and country music
- 14:40artist. Back in the day, his mom wrote
- 14:42like Elvis songs and stuff like. Yeah, I didn't know.
- 14:46That may Axton. Yeah, Hoyt.
- 14:47Axton's from Oklahoma, he wrote. Never been to Spain.
- 14:51You know. Huge song I.
- 14:52Love that song, man. It's one of my favorite songs
- 14:54ever. And Elvis's cover.
- 14:56Yes, he's the one who. He's the one who originally
- 14:58wrote that. But he is the he's most known by
- 15:00people nowadays as the guy who the dad who brought the gremlin
- 15:03home, who had the little trinket store with the little gimmicks.
- 15:05All right, see folks, that's what I'm talking about.
- 15:08This is the. I think this is the environment
- 15:10for the handler. You know, we get these little
- 15:12stories like this as those little Nuggets.
- 15:15That's that's awesome. And I'll tell you a few Hoyt
- 15:17Axton songs you may or may not remember.
- 15:19Most people wouldn't now, but if you go back, you've probably
- 15:21heard them or heard your parents or somebody list to it.
- 15:23One is Della and the dealer. It was Della and the dealer and
- 15:25a dog named Jake in a cat named Kalamazoo.
- 15:28You know. Old old school song from like
- 15:29the 70s. Bony fingers, Bony finger.
- 15:33You know some kind of hokey songs, but big songs in the 70s.
- 15:37Look up Hoyt Axton. Do yourself a favor And his
- 15:39stuff that his original stuff, like his versions have never
- 15:43been to Spain and his original He wrote a song called Cocaine
- 15:47that end up being on a Little Feet album later and a Jackson
- 15:49Browne record later. But anyway, Hoyt Axton.
- 15:53His mom's May Axton, who wrote some of Elvis's first hits.
- 15:57Well, that's funny that you bring Gremlins up, because I I I
- 16:01have Gremlins coming in as a #15 seed.
- 16:04Yeah, I could. I could put, I would like, I
- 16:05said I would put, I would put Gremlins ahead of Die Hard on my
- 16:08list. OK.
- 16:09I think that it's fair. Yeah, see, as the damn gremlin
- 16:11wore a Santa Claus had. It was awesome.
- 16:13Jr. Do you have Gremlin on your list
- 16:15at all? I don't have a list, I'm just
- 16:17I'm I'm going to make my list. He's going with that, yeah.
- 16:20I'm I thought about taking this top 50 and just making me a
- 16:23little asterisk by any by the 16 I would like or even put number
- 16:26ranking of one through 16 beside them.
- 16:29Yep, Yep. Was what I was thinking.
- 16:31And I'll go ahead and say this, while we're on the top 16
- 16:34currently, what's the other one? The Nightmare Before Christmas.
- 16:41I'm not sure if I think I know what you're talking about, the
- 16:44stick figure, the scary little guy.
- 16:45But I but I've never, I don't think I've ever watched it all
- 16:48the way through it, didn't it? Didn't make my list.
- 16:51One of those Burton films it It's Dark.
- 16:54And I mean, I've watched it. Is it on any list of yours?
- 16:57It would not make it on my let's.
- 16:58Go ahead and we go ahead and scratch that.
- 17:00That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take.
- 17:02I see what you're doing. I see what you're doing.
- 17:04Yeah, I'd definitely take that one off, so.
- 17:07Love, Love. Actually, 'cause I don't know
- 17:09what it is. So would you put Gremlins in top
- 17:1516? I guess I'll put would you
- 17:18chance? I I don't have them in my top
- 17:2016, No. Neither one of you do all right.
- 17:24You do, Brent. I do I have it as a 15-C OK.
- 17:28OK, it's possible. I mean, I've I've got 2 movies
- 17:30that are probably not traditional Christmas movies.
- 17:33I still think are Christmas movies so.
- 17:35This is fun, yeah. I mean it's it's a little silly,
- 17:39but who cares? I'm going to cut and paste my
- 17:41list and read it off in a minute, OK?
- 17:43OK. All right.
- 17:44Sounds good. So then let's so we we at the
- 17:49what do you have as your 16 seat I guess that's what do you have
- 17:52Blasey? I've got Santa Claus at 16, and
- 17:56it may be even higher than that, but it's one of those I kind of
- 17:58forgot about. But I've got it at sixteen.
- 18:00Kind. Of which one is that?
- 18:02Which? Which Santa Claus?
- 18:03The Santa Claus. Yeah, with what's his name from
- 18:07oh, Dadgummit. You know what I'm talking about
- 18:09Santa Claus. Movie Tim Allen.
- 18:11Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
- 18:13Those are good. Those are good.
- 18:15Those are good. I could.
- 18:16I could see them on a list. I do not have that on my list.
- 18:21It's not. It's no, it's no Prancer.
- 18:23But. 00 No Prancer. Well, Speaking of Prancer, my
- 18:30#16 seed was the year without Santa Claus.
- 18:34That animated one. It's like the oddball in the in
- 18:38the three or four that were made during that time.
- 18:40But but if you go back and you look when they were made, I I
- 18:43didn't, but I I have in the past really amazing like that.
- 18:47They made those as good as they did with the stop go or whatever
- 18:52it is animation that they that they used.
- 18:56It's really well done. And it had to have taken them
- 19:00for freaking ever to make those things with the claymation.
- 19:06Yeah, all the detect. I mean, good Lord.
- 19:08Yeah, that, that those, all of those are could be on my list.
- 19:12All of the traditional Frosty Rudolph, any of all of those are
- 19:16on my list. Yeah, and I mean, you could
- 19:18break this down into genres too of like, you know, newer movies,
- 19:23old movies and all that stuff. But I think it's just we're
- 19:26going like we do with a lot of everything.
- 19:28We're just throwing out a broad net on this.
- 19:31So do either of y'all? Would y'all put the year without
- 19:34Santa in to this pool? I don't think so.
- 19:40It's not on my list, I think, so I'm just going with my list.
- 19:43I could go against it and change my mind, that's.
- 19:44Fine. I mean it it's going to tighten
- 19:46up. This is kind of the we're we're
- 19:48trying to get the lower seeds. That's right here.
- 19:51The rest are going to be kind of subjective.
- 19:54Well, they all are subjective, but, you know, all right, #15
- 19:59seed. I've alluded that I have
- 20:00gremlins in that spot. Who do you have, Blasey?
- 20:03I've got Charlie Brown's Christmas.
- 20:06Great movie. I also definitely have Charlie
- 20:08Brown on my list. Yep.
- 20:10Charlie Brown all the way. Yep.
- 20:12OK. So where do you have that as the
- 20:1515? I have Charlie Brown as a seven
- 20:18seed. Yeah, I can see that.
- 20:21And you would definitely put that in handler.
- 20:26Put it in the top 10. It'd probably be a 10/12 seed I
- 20:29would think. We'll put it a 12 for the
- 20:32handler. We'll be off a little bit, but
- 20:35that gives me a good little average of whenever.
- 20:37We start and you got it calculating.
- 20:39I added it. I had gremlins coming in.
- 20:41I mean at Charlie Brown, Christmas at a seven seed.
- 20:45OK. All right.
- 20:47All right, fourteen seed. I've got White Christmas, which
- 20:55could be, depending on who you're talking to, highly
- 20:58controversial. It's a lot of people would put
- 21:01that at #1. I did not have it on my list.
- 21:07All right, good 'cause it shouldn't be there.
- 21:11It's it sucks. It's boring.
- 21:13I was going to say I I don't think that's one I watch
- 21:16regularly. I don't think I have to have it
- 21:18on the list either. It's not one I'm I'm.
- 21:20White Christmas just got. Now a a generation ahead of us,
- 21:26like our parents or aunts and uncles, probably, probably,
- 21:29probably all about watching that, probably tear up about it.
- 21:33But I'm the same. I I'm sure I've seen it, but I'm
- 21:35trying to think. I can't even picture scenes out
- 21:37of it in my head. So no offense to anybody
- 21:40involved, but I. I I don't think anybody.
- 21:43I can't assume. It snows on Christmas Day,
- 21:46finally. I bet that's the big grand
- 21:48finale, right? It finally gets snow.
- 21:50I can't remember. I only watched it one time and
- 21:52it's it was very boring, OK to me.
- 21:54I didn't enjoy. It.
- 21:54I mean, it's no, let's just go and put it out there.
- 21:56For me, It's A Wonderful Life. Is, is, is is is.
- 21:59That's that version of that movie that totes the weight in
- 22:02that cat classification to me. Yeah, that's a it's a compact.
- 22:06To that I do like yes, for sure, for sure.
- 22:10I I think we all agree on that. We on 14.
- 22:13We're on 14. Yep, I've got White Christmas.
- 22:16Who you got? And this is probably
- 22:18controversial too. This is these are the two that I
- 22:20have along with Die Hard Trading Places, Eddie Murphy.
- 22:24Oh, OK. All right.
- 22:26I mean, I love the movie. It.
- 22:29I've never really thought about it as a Christmas movie.
- 22:32Yeah, it's right there at Christmas time, man.
- 22:34Yep, it is. I can't give it a spot on.
- 22:38AI can't give it a spot either, so where would you've got it at?
- 22:42I put it it That one's way ahead of Die Hard's way ahead of that
- 22:46one to me. I get it.
- 22:48Great movie. Eddie Murphy, my favorite.
- 22:50Him and Jackie Gleason. And there he's on the short list
- 22:53of my favorite of all time. Any genre, any kind of
- 22:56entertainment for sure. Jason Hilton says White
- 23:00Christmas maybe one or two. Oh.
- 23:02Wow. So see, I know it.
- 23:03I knew that that would be hey. Yeah.
- 23:08You know, oh, and my sister. This is my sister.
- 23:13Hey Mandy, my sister is watching.
- 23:15She forgot about Trading Places. Me too.
- 23:18Me too. And I have some lists and I'll
- 23:20go over those here in a little bit.
- 23:21Some folks have chimed in online in the chat.
- 23:25More so are going to be in our top tier for my glance.
- 23:29All right, so. Because Eddie Burton did have
- 23:31the Santa Claus hat on. He he did have the hat on.
- 23:34He did. He sure did #13 seed.
- 23:39Who you got, Blasey? Scrooged.
- 23:43Unbelievable, Sir. I also have scrooged at #13.
- 23:47Oh, I do. Man, look at this.
- 23:50That's unbelievable. Yeah.
- 23:51I can live with that. I can live with that all.
- 23:53Right. Well, I think that Scrooge just
- 23:55found its way into the into the list, into the bracket.
- 23:59Congratulations to Scrooge. Really.
- 24:01The first, the first movie to officially make the tournament
- 24:06it is in, Scrooged is in. And it makes me happy because, I
- 24:11mean, I love that movie. I I watch it.
- 24:14It's one, it's in my rotation of movies that I'm going to watch.
- 24:17I hadn't watched it yet this year.
- 24:18That's next week for me. I'm weird like that.
- 24:21Like next week is the week I hammer home Christmas movies.
- 24:25I've been hammering home Christmas music for a couple of
- 24:28weeks, so can't wait to get to that.
- 24:31All right, so we agree, Scrooge is at 13, the 12 seed.
- 24:36I have The Polar Express. I I have The Polar Express at
- 24:4012. No way.
- 24:43See, it starts to lock up a little bit more as we as we get
- 24:46deeper in. So yeah, I've got the 12, you've
- 24:50got the 12. Would you put that in your top
- 24:5316 handler? You know, I've, I've not seen it
- 24:58many times, but I know it's a great movie and everybody loves
- 25:01it. I don't hate on it, but I don't
- 25:03know. I'm not as familiar with it as
- 25:04everybody else, so not me, but I don't I I could see it in a
- 25:08spot. It could take a spot, you know?
- 25:10I know it's. I get it.
- 25:11I get it. The second team officially into
- 25:14the bracket challenge is The Polar Express.
- 25:17We're going to put it at 14 for you, Handler.
- 25:20You're just it's squeaking in. All right #11 seed.
- 25:26This is going to be, this is mine.
- 25:28A little controversial here. Probably going to be a little
- 25:32low for some people. I have Elf coming in as the
- 25:36eleven seed. I have ELF on my list as well.
- 25:40It's a little higher up, so yeah, yeah, I've got it at 7:00.
- 25:45All right. Oh, I.
- 25:47Can, Yeah, I can see that. Elf at 7 for Blasey.
- 25:53Definitely a top ten. You know, I'm a little high on
- 25:56it, so yeah, I mean Elf definitely.
- 25:58I think every movie moving forward's gonna be coming into
- 26:01the into the deal. We're getting into the good
- 26:03ones. We got on the Edge.
- 26:06And I mean really, I can't think of any of these other Edge
- 26:09movies that it's going to be a hell of a lot more
- 26:12controversial. When we get to the songs, I
- 26:14'cause there's some good ones going to get left.
- 26:16Out. Yes, they are.
- 26:17Hey, let can we go ahead and take one off of my list that I
- 26:20know y'all have grown to bump? Probably because I doubt it.
- 26:23Ernest saves Christmas on either of Y'all's list.
- 26:26No, it is not I. Forgot about that.
- 26:28Yeah, I mean, I've seen it and it was great and hilarious.
- 26:31But it definitely it's not. But it's not.
- 26:33On my list, OK, no wornest, he said.
- 26:36I want to go ahead and bump this.
- 26:38Yeah, I go ahead and feel I I go ahead and feel that y'all aren't
- 26:41going to let that roll. No, we're not.
- 26:43No, that ain't going to make it. I'm sorry.
- 26:46My sister says it'll make you that she that it'll make you
- 26:49believe in Santa. Which one?
- 26:52I don't know which one she was talking about.
- 26:55We've been talking about so. Many.
- 26:56I do believe it's Christmas. I believe it's Santa.
- 26:59I. Do too Santa's real.
- 27:00There ain't no doubt in my mind. Ain't no.
- 27:02Doubt about it, Santa's real ain't.
- 27:03No doubt about it. Ain't nobody got no money for
- 27:06all that stuff. How's it just show up exactly
- 27:09right? Who you got at 10?
- 27:14Oh, Lacey, Yeah, yeah. So I've got Bad Santa at 10.
- 27:17Bad Santa. OK, I like it.
- 27:21I don't. I do not have bad Santa in my
- 27:23list. So you have that at 10.
- 27:26I don't either, so it'd have to be like put it at 16 so.
- 27:29You don't put it anywhere. I mean, like, hey, you don't,
- 27:31you know? No, I don't.
- 27:33I don't. I say we put it there for now
- 27:34because I know it's a, it's a, it's a it's a good and it's a
- 27:37different lane for Christmas and it's it's popular and it's
- 27:41relevant. I I would say put it at 16 for
- 27:43now if we have to bump it for. Something A0A0 and A10 together,
- 27:48just like in school, you know what I mean?
- 27:49Like, that's not a real high score.
- 27:51So no, no, probably it's on the outside, but I looks like at
- 27:54this. Point.
- 27:55But I don't have my list, so I'm kind of messing up the algorithm
- 27:58a little bit 'cause I don't have a definitive list on.
- 28:00That's OK. We're not, and it's not.
- 28:02None of this is set in stone. I'm going to do trying tallying
- 28:05and and stuff, but trying to really just get people trying to
- 28:09figure the lower seeds out really more than anything.
- 28:12Absolutely. And and we want to get people's
- 28:13feedback. So people that watch a show now
- 28:15or later, please get on like social media and tell us what
- 28:18who you think, what your top 16 is or some teams that you agree
- 28:22or some movies or songs that you agree or disagree with.
- 28:25Bring it on, dude. And we'll come up with that top
- 28:2716 for sure and. I like.
- 28:28I like. Everything in account.
- 28:30I like Scott's take here. He says A12 die hard versus A5
- 28:34home alone would be a great match up.
- 28:36Oh. Man with that 12 seed.
- 28:38Get that? Home alone basically is die hard
- 28:40for kids. He's right.
- 28:41He is right. Thanks for watching Scott.
- 28:43Appreciate you, man. It's just going to be some good
- 28:48matchups. I look forward to doing this
- 28:50when we actually get to debate the the movies.
- 28:53Moving on 9. Seed, nine seed.
- 28:56For the ten seed, I had the Grinch though for the record, so
- 29:00I mean so Brantley's got, I've got him at 10, which.
- 29:04Is and I've got him at six. That's where a little
- 29:06controversy came last night with my wife.
- 29:10She's like 10. That's like 3 for me.
- 29:14Yes, six for me. There's six on my list.
- 29:16Very subjective. 6. OK, What do you think, Jr.
- 29:19Man, see, I'm weird though. Y'all this is, I'm going to be
- 29:22the weird guy, The Jim. Carrey version of the Grinch.
- 29:25I know, see, I see. I'm go.
- 29:27I'm going the old school Grinch that sold Christmas over the Jim
- 29:30Carrey all day. OK.
- 29:32The old school one where he's the little dog up the mountain.
- 29:36The whole thing with the presence, the real old school
- 29:38Grinch with the little girl and all that.
- 29:40The animated one I I'm picking. I'm taking that over the Jim
- 29:43Carrey one. But the Jim Carrey one was
- 29:44great. Jim Carrey's great in general.
- 29:46He's great at weird movies well. I think that this is a good
- 29:49opportunity. You guys can be the decision
- 29:51maker in the that's in the chat decide who wins out of the
- 29:55Grinch versus the versus the old Grinch.
- 29:57New Grinch old will tally up the boats and and that's going to be
- 30:02this is the first play in game, the Grinch, which Grinch moves
- 30:07on into the bracket, it's obviously in the bracket.
- 30:09So I I like where would you put either one.
- 30:13I think the seating is going to be, if you whichever, whichever
- 30:16team, whichever movie you like, you probably are going to think
- 30:20of it in the same seating. With the Grinch.
- 30:23Top 10 for you. Yeah, it's top ten, probably.
- 30:27I would think the Grinch, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas is
- 30:29the top ten. Yeah, I watch that every year.
- 30:31Got to. If it's on, I'll stop what I'm
- 30:33doing and take my shoes off and. Yeah, look, Paul, he likes the
- 30:38old school 10. You do Paul.
- 30:41Jason brother Jason Hilton likes the Jim Carrey 1.
- 30:45So you know, I mean it. It's a that's a good little
- 30:48divisive 1I. Totally get it?
- 30:50Yeah. All right, so number #9, where
- 30:52Where we at? Where we at #9 blasey?
- 30:57I got a Christmas story. Paul Quick, quick one with Paul.
- 31:03Paul takes it back. He likes the new Grinch.
- 31:05Sorry, Jr., He's on team team new Grinch.
- 31:09No, I get it. I get it.
- 31:10I I get it. And I like that one too.
- 31:13That's a tough one. I just.
- 31:14I'll just go with OG Grinch. I'm with you, Mandy.
- 31:16My my sister's with OGOG. Yeah, I mean, this split.
- 31:20I love it. It just takes me back like I
- 31:22used to, like cross my legs like I'm seven again or something.
- 31:25You know what I mean? It's.
- 31:26Just like all these do. That's what Jason had said that
- 31:29earlier. It's a lot of nostalgia with
- 31:31this. It takes you back to when you
- 31:33were a kid. So I think that's what makes it
- 31:35a little more subjective than other things.
- 31:37I'm sure kids who are 12/13/14 now, like my son Riley.
- 31:43I'm sure that there are movies, Christmas movies that he when he
- 31:46watches he thinks of this as a Christmas movie or whatever.
- 31:50You know, I just now noticed you're drinking eggnog blasi.
- 31:53It's awesome. Absolutely I am.
- 31:54Why wouldn't you be? All right.
- 31:57So who'd you say you have it, #9?
- 31:59What'd you What'd you say? A Christmas Story.
- 32:01Yeah, you know, as I'm saying this and we're talking about it,
- 32:03I don't know that I even put them in the top 16 now.
- 32:05I think, yeah, I think I'm booting them out.
- 32:07It's not a. Christmas story.
- 32:09Yeah, man. I don't know, man.
- 32:10It's like, do I really like it? Is it a top 16?
- 32:13Yes, it is. But I do.
- 32:14I really like it. Not.
- 32:14Not really. It's not as good as those other
- 32:17two movies. You know what I mean?
- 32:18That that we're going to get to. But yeah, I'm.
- 32:21I'll keep the story out. I'll keep it.
- 32:23I'll keep it there. It's just not as I look at it
- 32:25more. It's not as great as I thought.
- 32:27You know what I mean? In my mind, it's like that
- 32:28doesn't move me in any way that much.
- 32:30It's OK. It's a great classical movie,
- 32:32but it doesn't really move me, you know?
- 32:34Like, what's it do for me? I don't know, I'm just.
- 32:36I'm just reconsidering but it's probably a top 10,000%.
- 32:39OK, I'll get it. I'm.
- 32:40Saying in my world least top five.
- 32:42Christmas Story's the least top five in my.
- 32:43World, I get it. I get it.
- 32:44I have Christmas Story coming in as the number two seed.
- 32:47I'm. I'm probably more like that
- 32:49mine's. It's probably more top three for
- 32:51me. Yeah.
- 32:51Yeah. I've.
- 32:52Got nine. I'll keep it at 9:00.
- 32:54Yeah, definitely, Definitely a top ten movie for sure.
- 32:58All right, Well, I like it. I had at for me, my #9 was home
- 33:03alone. A lot of people including AI is
- 33:07#1, wasn't it Wasn't that AI is number one.
- 33:09Yeah. Home alone.
- 33:10Was that your? Ten seed or nine seed?
- 33:12That's my nine seed, yeah. OK, what about you, Jr.
- 33:15What do you? Think about that.
- 33:16I could live with that. It might bump up a spot too,
- 33:18just 'cause I just saw it. But Home Alone's great Christmas
- 33:22movie, I mean, 'cause it's. It is good.
- 33:24The the whole and it's just and it's just a big movie too.
- 33:28It was that was a big movie with big actors you know with the
- 33:30John Candy and the this one and that one.
- 33:32It's just a good, you know, and. Great movie, dude.
- 33:36Yeah, I got it. I got it at 5.
- 33:38I got it at five. OK.
- 33:40Yeah. Yeah.
- 33:40So what's the end? Yeah, definitely in 50% number
- 33:468, who you got Blasi, I had die hard, die hard has been tabled.
- 33:5334th St. Yeah, but die hard got.
- 33:55I had him at 11 and you and you had him at 8 and Jr. did not
- 33:59have him in at all. But yeah, I got Miracle on 34th
- 34:01St. at 8:00. OK.
- 34:03All right. Number.
- 34:06I could live with. I could live with that.
- 34:08I I have Miracle on 34th St. coming in at #6.
- 34:12Not my favorite movie, but I just don't know how you can make
- 34:15a list without I'm putting that one in I.
- 34:17I agree. I agree.
- 34:18If, yeah, if you want, if. To me, it's not as good a movie
- 34:22as another one in that category. But if you sit and watch it, you
- 34:27cannot not be moved. It's a great movie.
- 34:30Very true. Very true, I agree.
- 34:33Hilton puts Hilton puts Home Alone in the top five for him,
- 34:37which, I mean, I look totally, totally.
- 34:40I could bet I could bet anybody. And I don't know how old Jason.
- 34:43I could bet anybody one step younger than us.
- 34:47Everybody's going to pull home alone.
- 34:48I. Mean.
- 34:49It's. It's in the top 10, for sure.
- 34:51There's no doubt. Paul's like, what's better than
- 34:55then Home Alone? Hang on, hang on.
- 34:58They're they're about to they're about to come in hot and furious
- 35:01here. At this point I only have four
- 35:02better, but Paul loves a few. What about home?
- 35:05So are we. Just Go ahead and now Home alone
- 35:07one and two. The home alone two, Yeah.
- 35:09Just Home Alone Two I don't think deserves to be in the top
- 35:1316. We're just narrowing it down.
- 35:15There's too many. There's already four or five
- 35:17good movies that may not make it.
- 35:20Home Alone two ain't better than them, though I generally am
- 35:24going to watch them like you did back-to-back.
- 35:27You know, if they're both coming on back-to-back, I'm just
- 35:30chilling watching TBS. Next Saturday or whatever, I'm
- 35:34gonna watch them both. They're both great.
- 35:36They're both really good movies. What number are we on?
- 35:404 #4. Are we at 4:00?
- 35:44I think we're, I think we're at we've lost track this is what my
- 35:51my deals upside down I think we were at.
- 35:53Only have. 480 we were at, we're at, we're at 7, we're at 7.
- 35:58OK. Yeah.
- 35:58But there's four we haven't talked about.
- 36:00OK. Yeah, yeah, That's.
- 36:01My Yeah, sorry. Yeah, I I have at #7.
- 36:03We've already talked about at A Charlie Brown Christmas.
- 36:07Yep, and I've already put that in there.
- 36:08Where did you Where did you have Charlie Brown at?
- 36:10I. Had him at 15. 15 Oh yeah, that.
- 36:14I've got it 15-7. Yeah.
- 36:16So we did Charlie Brown 6 Miracle on 34th St.
- 36:21You're going to put that in the top 10.
- 36:24Yeah, we got 8-8 and six. We're at 5.
- 36:26We're at the we're at the five spot then.
- 36:30OK. We're at the five spot, so I
- 36:33have Rudolph. Rudolph the Red Nosed reindeer
- 36:35comes in #5 for me. OK, I've got them at 3:00.
- 36:41OK. Yeah, pretty consensus there.
- 36:45Where do you have Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer JRI?
- 36:48I could let it live right there in that spot, that space 5 to
- 36:523:00 somewhere in there all day I can let.
- 36:54It live. We're going to put it at 4.
- 36:55All right. So then, coming in at #4, I have
- 37:02Frosty the Snowman. I got frosty at two.
- 37:07That sounds good. I like it all.
- 37:11Right. But then I have at 3.
- 37:18It's a Wonderful Life we've. Got it at 4:00.
- 37:26I mean, you've got to put that Jr. in the here.
- 37:28We go, let's do Jr. There I got a feeling.
- 37:30I mean, Jr. may not put this in the top five.
- 37:32No, I. Think you've got it in the top
- 37:34five? Top three, All day, all day.
- 37:36Top three. You know it's too tough, man.
- 37:40But if Christmas Story, Christmas story's in my top
- 37:42three. So if Christmas Story's getting
- 37:44bumped down lower, then it gets bumped.
- 37:48It gets a free spot to one and two in between it and that and
- 37:52Christmas Vacation. Yeah.
- 37:54That's my. That's my 1:00 and 2:00 is.
- 37:56We're going to put, we're going to put that at #2 then and there
- 38:01we go. That really that just that
- 38:03leaves us. We've discussed Gremlins and a
- 38:06Christmas Story that I had on my list.
- 38:07That just leaves us with number one.
- 38:09Number one for me is Christmas vacation.
- 38:13Bam. I mean, it ain't even close.
- 38:15We led the show off with it. I don't think there's any
- 38:17surprise here that that is what's going to make it as the
- 38:24as the number, but. You know, I'll tell you what, I
- 38:26debated on this and I and I had a hard battle with myself
- 38:29because me growing up like as a kid, like Rudolph and Frosty,
- 38:32you know, you can put their in either order.
- 38:34I I, I agree. Greatest ever.
- 38:36And then. But now look back that.
- 38:38Now let's look at the totality of it and what what do I enjoy
- 38:41more now. Like it still moves me that that
- 38:43moves me in this and but do Christmas vacation it.
- 38:46You know it ended up edging them out at the last minute.
- 38:49I made that decision to put that at the one spot.
- 38:51Just if you look at it over time and how it stood the test of
- 38:54time with all generations, it's it's great dude.
- 38:57It's tough to beat. I.
- 38:59Think it's a consensus one or two seed.
- 39:01I I think it's a one seed. I I it's got to be a one seed.
- 39:05I agree with you, Blasey. Those others are right there
- 39:07with it from childhood. And I still, I mean, oh, it
- 39:10makes all the feels if I get to catch Frosty or Rudolph.
- 39:14But I can remember like a handful of years ago, my brother
- 39:18and I on like Christmas Eve, driving 30 miles across Jackson,
- 39:21Ms. to the other side of town, trying to find the one Best Buy
- 39:24who had a copy of that. Because that my grandparents
- 39:27don't have cable or Internet and we didn't have a copy and we
- 39:31were bound and determined we were going to watch the
- 39:33Christmas vacation the night before Christmas.
- 39:35So we drove like literally like Chris, Christmas Eve across town
- 39:38in a snowstorm, the whole thing, just to get a DVD of this movie.
- 39:40So that's how that's how important that movie is to me.
- 39:43But but I'll say this, I I watched it in July and then make
- 39:50sure I don't. That way I'll be ready for it
- 39:52again in late in mid November. There's not a single day, not a
- 39:56single day that goes by that I do not use some line.
- 40:01From that movie, not a single day.
- 40:05If I had a nickel for every time I've said shooters full, I mean
- 40:09just in any any life application I can retire, you know, 100%.
- 40:14But I'm like, can you rest? Real tomato ketchup.
- 40:19That's my family, Clark, you know?
- 40:21And I always say that the same thing though, Lacey, because I
- 40:25teeter back and forth that It's a Wonderful Life because.
- 40:28But I've already know we got a VCR.
- 40:29We got a VCHS copy of that we're never going to not have because
- 40:33it's that important to me too. I have to watch that in
- 40:37Christmas time or it's not Christmas to me, you know?
- 40:41Look, I I put a scene in earlier let's I'm going to play this
- 40:45this is, this is one of the lines that I probably overuse
- 40:49saying to people and they probably have no idea what the
- 40:52hell I'm talking about. But it's still fun.
- 40:54What is it? It's it's up to one year
- 40:58membership in the Jelly of the Month club.
- 41:00Oh God. Clark That's the gift that keeps
- 41:03on giving the whole year. That it is, Edward.
- 41:10That it is indeed. I mean, it's just nothing
- 41:15better, dude. It's just nothing better.
- 41:19And then he goes on his crazy rant that we we had at the top
- 41:22of the show. But yeah, I think that's movies.
- 41:24I think we've got a good little. Yeah, we've got a good little a
- 41:28little balance. I think the 16 songs are going
- 41:31to be easier to put or the 16 movies are going to be a heck of
- 41:35a lot easier than these songs that we're about to dive into
- 41:40so. Yeah.
- 41:42And and there's some that, you know, I'm sure some people have
- 41:45on their list that didn't make it because of generational or
- 41:48just, you know, different types of movies.
- 41:50But looking through, I was looking through the end of the
- 41:52list just for me, like the original Scrooge back in the
- 41:55day. I remember watching that like it
- 41:56was on reruns back when we were kids, you know, it was kind of
- 41:59kind of dark, you know, But that was, that was a good one.
- 42:06What was the other one I saw and I thought about the Muppet
- 42:09Christmas Carol. That's another one you remember.
- 42:11We were kids. That was a big deal, too.
- 42:12That was going to happen every year.
- 42:13And it. I don't think they show it as
- 42:15much. But back to your point, Blasey,
- 42:17if I happen to miss Frosty or Rudolph, I hope to catch it
- 42:21again. But it doesn't do now, at my age
- 42:25to where I like I am with vacation or It's a Wonderful
- 42:29Life to where I've got to make sure you know what I mean.
- 42:31I get it. I get it.
- 42:33So yeah, I love the I love the rounding out of that list.
- 42:35So you want to start from the bottom and and teleport?
- 42:38Yeah, I think that they yeah, that was a good one.
- 42:40I just, I've just changed mine on the fly.
- 42:42I have so many songs. I have so many.
- 42:45I have 12 songs that I just went after the fact, like, I love
- 42:49these songs. Why the heck didn't I put these
- 42:52in the top 16? So I may be having to make a few
- 42:55adjustments here on the fly, but I have and I just scratched out
- 43:00Santa Baby coming in as the number 16 seed.
- 43:04I scratched it out, replaced it with, so this is Christmas with,
- 43:10you know, John Lennon and all of that war.
- 43:14So this is Christmas. I heard it yesterday.
- 43:17I'm picking Riley up and coming home and I said, well, I can't,
- 43:20I can't leave that. I love that song, you know, if
- 43:23I, it makes me think of Christmas because it's the only
- 43:26time I hear it around this time of year.
- 43:27And and to start off with, I'm more of a traditional Christmas
- 43:33song kind of person. So if there are any renditions
- 43:38of some of these songs by different artists, then of
- 43:40course let us know. But I have, that's where I have.
- 43:45So this is Christmas what what would you say?
- 43:47What do you have, Blasi? I don't.
- 43:49I don't have that. Oh, you didn't make a you you
- 43:51didn't make a list or you don't have that on your list.
- 43:54I don't. Have that on my list.
- 43:54What do you? What do you have as a 16 seed?
- 43:57Yes, this is where I kind of jump around between, you know,
- 44:02so a little town of Bethlehem that that King Cole, I've got
- 44:06that sitting there. OK, I don't have that on there
- 44:09and that is a good one as it should be My favorite Christmas
- 44:13song. I just want to get that out of
- 44:14the way Right now is not even on the list and it won't be
- 44:18anything talked about because there I have, I don't know of an
- 44:20artist that is, I guess made it a hit, but Silent Night, that's
- 44:25my favorite Christmas song, period.
- 44:28I don't I don't have it on the list of the list of 50.
- 44:32No, I just wanted. To get that out of there, yeah,
- 44:35let's hit silent. Knights.
- 44:38That's my number one seed. Like that's the greatest.
- 44:40There you go. I mean, that's my number one
- 44:42seed too. So.
- 44:44But I don't have a We just jump the top.
- 44:47We did. We didn't mean to.
- 44:49But hey, I think there'll be a lot of controversy and once we
- 44:52get to the top five. But Silent Night just didn't
- 44:56even make it on my list, because the list that AI spit out are I
- 45:01think they're more popular songs that have been sung by artist.
- 45:06If anybody's ever taken Silent Night to the top of the charts,
- 45:10I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong.
- 45:12I couldn't find it. It does it have to be a chart
- 45:14Topper I? Mean, I thought it was just,
- 45:16well, that's just that's just the AI that's he's saying.
- 45:18That's just what AI spit. Out.
- 45:19Yeah. No, it does not have to be a
- 45:21chart Topper at all. I just find it interesting that
- 45:23that song didn't make the top 50.
- 45:26That's crazy. Yeah, that's that's top.
- 45:28That's top couple right there for sure.
- 45:30I would say that's the number one.
- 45:31I could give it a number one seed not not hesitate.
- 45:33Yeah because of the grand scheme.
- 45:36It's I would I would say like you know again I don't know if
- 45:40my favorite will make it Christmas and Dixie's not on
- 45:42here but if you're from where I'm but if you're from.
- 45:45But if you're from where I'm from, you, it's not Christmas
- 45:47till you hear the boys from Fort Payne saying Christmas in Dixie.
- 45:51Oh, that's a. Fact that's man.
- 45:53See, that's already. I'm adding more to the list of
- 45:56like. Good.
- 45:56Lord, it makes the hair stand up on my arm.
- 45:59Oh yeah, I think it just came in at the number 15 seed for me.
- 46:03It just, it just bumped somebody.
- 46:05Yeah, that's. It's snowing in the Pines.
- 46:07Are you kidding me? Yeah.
- 46:11Graceland's lit up in lights. Yeah, that's good stuff, man.
- 46:15Son. Yeah, No.
- 46:17This is on that list. This is the hardest freaking
- 46:20part. This is going to be the hardest
- 46:23thing is narrowing these songs down and we're still not going
- 46:26to get it right. Everybody, we're fully aware of
- 46:27that. So you know, we're going to
- 46:29still leave somebody out. So we're going to say let's go
- 46:33back to, so this is Christmas, Would you put that in your top
- 46:3616? You said no Blasey.
- 46:38You said no right handler. Correct.
- 46:41This is Christmas. The The Beatles.
- 46:44The the John Lennon song? Yeah.
- 46:46John Lennon, Yeah. I think I like that song, but I
- 46:49don't know if it's going to be a top 16 for me.
- 46:51OK, probably not. All right, so 15.
- 46:54I'm putting Christmas in Dixie in at #15 for myself.
- 46:59That just happened. Where would you put that in your
- 47:04top ten? Jr.
- 47:05Which one? Christmas in Dixie.
- 47:08Oh yeah, it's top three for me all day all.
- 47:10Right. What?
- 47:11You what? What about you, Casey?
- 47:15Would you? Put it in a high.
- 47:16Seed or a low seed. I'm pissing just scratch my
- 47:19eight seed right now. I'm just completely, I'm.
- 47:21I'm injecting it from the list and so I'm going to put it in
- 47:24there at at the number eight. Yeah, OK.
- 47:26I'll have to make room for it if if I'm going to vote, I can't
- 47:29have 17 teams, you know. There's a chance that it this
- 47:32thing gets gets knocked. I do want to mention another
- 47:35song before we dive in and Y'all may have this.
- 47:38I do not have it in my top 16, but but Jason Hilton brings up
- 47:44what he wants to know Jr. What do you think of Pretty
- 47:47Paper Willy Willy's version or Randy Travis's version?
- 47:53Does that song even make it into your?
- 47:55Does that song make it in? Because I don't have it in mine
- 47:58and I I think it on. My list either, but that's a
- 48:00good one. In mine, it probably would.
- 48:02And I tell you if out of those two, probably the Willie
- 48:07version. But I tell you my favorite
- 48:08version Jason is the Jamie Johnson version off of his The
- 48:12Christmas Song Five song EP from 2014.
- 48:17Jamie's version is my favorite and there's five songs on there
- 48:21and I could put all five off of Jamie's album on my top 16
- 48:24without a flinch. One of them's Baby, it's cold.
- 48:28One of them's it's baby, it's cold outside.
- 48:30Then he does the The Hawaiian Christmas song with the Secret
- 48:34Sisters, which is phenomenal. Then he's got a original song he
- 48:37wrote called A South Alabama Christmas, which is obviously on
- 48:40my personal one pretty paper. And then the Christmas song.
- 48:46Yeah, you gotta y'all gonna want to listen to that.
- 48:49Oh yeah, I'm gonna be jamming that this afternoon going.
- 48:53Going to go get. Myself.
- 48:54But but Willie. If I had to pick between Willie
- 48:56and Randy. Yeah, yeah, if I had them.
- 49:00Definitely Willie on that. But I didn't.
- 49:02Jamie Johnson, I'm going to. Yeah, I'm going to give that a
- 49:05good, fair shake. I was.
- 49:07So would you put pretty paper in your top 16?
- 49:09I still do not. I love it, love the song, but it
- 49:13still doesn't make my top 16. Yeah, it's tough.
- 49:17I don't. I don't have it in mind.
- 49:18We can dump it, yeah. It's a that's a that's a
- 49:20country. That's a country lane.
- 49:22You know, I might get it for stuff.
- 49:23Lane's country a little bit. Not all the way but.
- 49:26All right. Where are we at here, Blasey?
- 49:28Are we at the 14 seed? Kind of, yeah.
- 49:31I think we're sliding around. We're sliding around with the
- 49:33songs that are kind of like the Maybe they don't all make it in,
- 49:38but everybody, this is subjective.
- 49:41I have coming in at the number 14 seed.
- 49:43I'll be home for Christmas. I could, yeah.
- 49:47That. It doesn't matter who sings it
- 49:49either. That's.
- 49:49Just it doesn't matter. No, no, I the version.
- 49:55Yeah, I don't have it on my list, man.
- 49:57And that's a great one, Michael. Bublé is the one that made the
- 50:00list the AI list, but no. I'm taking the I'm taking the
- 50:07Bing Crosby version, or whoever did it back then, or whoever it
- 50:11was back in the day. Yeah, I think it was being.
- 50:14So you definitely put that in your top top 16, huh?
- 50:18I would, yeah. Yeah, a lot of mine are going to
- 50:21also reflect on. I'm always out for my entire
- 50:23adult life. I've been gone during the
- 50:25holidays or traveling, so a lot of mine are about longing to be
- 50:28home and missing and that kind of stuff too.
- 50:30Yeah, that makes sense. Totally makes sense.
- 50:33Blasey, you've got them in your top.
- 50:34You've got that in your top 16. I'll be it's.
- 50:36Not my top 16, but I it's, it's great.
- 50:39I mean, yeah. I don't.
- 50:39I'm don't, yeah. I mean, I'm not hating on it.
- 50:42It's on the edge. It's on the edge.
- 50:45All right, let's see, Hilton says this.
- 50:48Don't shoot me. I'm not a Swifty, but Taylor
- 50:51Swift Last Christmas. I don't have Last Christmas in
- 50:56my top sixteen. However, AI has It is the number
- 51:01two song on their list by Wham Last Christmas.
- 51:05My wife would agree with that. I would, I would almost say, put
- 51:08the Wham version in the top 16 and I wouldn't hate it at this
- 51:11point in my life. It could.
- 51:13I mean, look, I can. I can make an argument for it
- 51:17teeter tottering on the edge there for sure, but it's my.
- 51:20My wife would and and I mean everybody our age just about, I
- 51:25know that's just, that's on the radio a lot and everybody jams
- 51:29it, you know, and I I don't hate it and I don't.
- 51:31Even love it. I don't hate it either.
- 51:32Vein of music really, but it's a good job on that song, I
- 51:37thought. But I don't have to have it in
- 51:38there either. It's I'm not a fighting for that
- 51:39one, but. I think it's it's on the edge,
- 51:44but. The Wham version, not Taylor
- 51:45Swift. Yeah, no, it's the Wham version.
- 51:47I haven't heard the Taylor Swift version, so I'm not gonna hate
- 51:50on you. I will.
- 51:51Yeah, sure, it's fine. Yeah, I mean, she doesn't want
- 51:53anything bad. Right.
- 51:54The one I know is the Wham version and it it I sing along
- 51:57to it and like it's not even my style of music normally.
- 52:01I have. Where do we have Silver Bells?
- 52:06I'm just going down my list since I kind of had seated these
- 52:08things out. I don't have silver bells.
- 52:10I don't have it on here. No silver bells, OK.
- 52:12That's a good one. OK.
- 52:13Yeah. I mean, let me ask this before
- 52:16we go. So I'm not waiting in
- 52:18anticipation. You got any Aaron Neville on
- 52:20your list? I I have more.
- 52:22See, there's more song. I do not.
- 52:24But these are songs. I mean it it it could be a
- 52:27version of a song potentially, that he's sang.
- 52:32Gotcha. Or any like not Louisiana.
- 52:34Christmas Day is not on there. No, not really.
- 52:38I mean, not not in the top 16. I think there's some regional
- 52:42specific for everybody. If I'm doing a regional
- 52:45Christmas list, then hell yeah, maybe #1.
- 52:48That's maybe where my Christmas in Dixie might get lost.
- 52:51But any country fans gonna also be in the liking that because
- 52:54like me going to Louisiana all these years and and even in
- 52:58Mississippi and South Alabama that they're gonna play that
- 53:01Aaron Neville version of that ever so often, you know?
- 53:04Aaron Neville's amazing. He's, he's, he's top three,
- 53:08well, top five at least Christmas singers to me, period.
- 53:11I. Can go with that.
- 53:12I can go with that. So Silver Bell's handler, not
- 53:16top 16 for you. No version of it.
- 53:20Yeah, I could. I could see it.
- 53:21It's in a group there with a like 8 or 10 traditional songs.
- 53:25That man, it's like a it's like a list of best pro wrestlers or
- 53:28sing or or art musicians. You leave one of them off some,
- 53:31but they're all kind. Not, I hate to say they're the
- 53:34same, but they're just traditional in the same.
- 53:36Vein. And I've got a 14 seed as a
- 53:38traditional, but it's not that it's so I'll come all you
- 53:41faithful, you know what I mean? OK yeah they're they're I got
- 53:44five or six. I had to I had to put on that
- 53:46list like, you know what I mean? Like I can't.
- 53:47I'm not any of those. Yeah, I can't knock any of
- 53:51those. Like Paul Rogers says, he loves
- 53:54Christmas in Dixie and he's not Southern.
- 53:56So I mean, that's just a beautiful freaking song.
- 53:59Period. By a great band with great,
- 54:02great, great words, great vocals.
- 54:04This is so subjective smooth. It it is.
- 54:07I don't have. I don't have that.
- 54:08Who did you have at 14? What song was that?
- 54:12I would say yeah. Oh, come all, you faithful.
- 54:14And I like I I I like Carrie Underwood's version of that.
- 54:17You know, there's so many that sang it well, but like she she
- 54:20she killed it. She kills everything, dude.
- 54:23She's amazing. I didn't have that on my list,
- 54:26but I could see it being on a list.
- 54:28Yeah, I get it. Let's see.
- 54:32What do you have at 13 on your list?
- 54:34Blasi. Santa Baby.
- 54:38Santa baby got bumped from mine. But I mean, I love it.
- 54:42I can't. You know, I can't argue against
- 54:44it. What's that?
- 54:46What's her name? That the original 1 kit.
- 54:49Eartha Kit. There we go.
- 54:51Yeah. Eartha Kit.
- 54:51Yeah, that's the one. It's New Orleans Gal, I think
- 54:56was Eartha kit for New Orleans. I believe so.
- 54:58Yeah, I know. So let's see.
- 55:01So yeah, what would you put Santa Baby in your top 16 Jr.
- 55:06Yes. OK.
- 55:07Yes. Yeah, it's probably going to
- 55:10sneak in there as it as I had it seated correctly.
- 55:15I love those hokey I love traditional Hymnal Almost
- 55:19Christmas songs and I love the hokiest Ho Ho Ho Christmas songs
- 55:24well. Speaking of, this is this could
- 55:25be one that I think would be in a lot of people's top 16.
- 55:29It didn't make mine. It may be in yours, but maybe
- 55:32it's cold outside. Speaking of those kind of
- 55:37traditional I had, you know, it went through a little run here
- 55:40recently where people started to oh.
- 55:43They're. Saying claim it was about
- 55:44domestic abuse and all. Yeah.
- 55:45Trying to cancel. I don't think that's good.
- 55:48Lord, I was too eager, Too eager, eager Beaver.
- 55:50You need to back down, son, She said.
- 55:52No. Yeah.
- 55:53I don't know, man. Yeah, they.
- 55:55They end up they didn't tell the rest of the story.
- 55:57They were married for 63 years and had a big family and started
- 56:00a business in small town America.
- 56:01They didn't tell the rest of the story.
- 56:02It all worked. Out.
- 56:03Well, that would be too. That would be too convenient,
- 56:05Jr. Sound bites?
- 56:07No, I would say. Maybe it's cold outside all day.
- 56:12Definitely put that in your top 16, both of you.
- 56:14You have it on your list blasey. I do.
- 56:17OK, where do you have it? I have it sitting at number.
- 56:24See, I moved it around. Hold on.
- 56:26I've got it at it. I had it at 14 and I moved it
- 56:30over to 12. Yeah, OK I I I I had to do some
- 56:36shuffling. I'm we're going to have to do
- 56:39more shuffling but I I think it I think that it's probably one
- 56:43that I have on the fringes that's going to make it in that
- 56:47I have I'm just going by my stupid list here that is just
- 56:51complete chicken scratch. Look at this.
- 56:53This is embarrassing. This is like I look like like
- 56:57this is the way Eon Musk's mind works I think but but but then
- 57:02he's able to put the other side together and make it all come
- 57:04out and be right. But anyhow.
- 57:06All right. So where were we at Blasey on
- 57:09this? Where we're at 12, we did 13,
- 57:13we're down to 12 now, 12, yeah. I have.
- 57:17I have let it snow coming in at #12.
- 57:22That's a good one. I had it originally.
- 57:26I scratched let it Snow for Christmas in Dixie.
- 57:28I had it at eight seed. I just.
- 57:30I took it off the list completely to make.
- 57:31Sure. It just got eliminated.
- 57:33All right. Well.
- 57:34But no, it's it's it's a great one.
- 57:36It's a great one, man. We're going to put it at an 18
- 57:38seed for you just so for averages, Handler let it snow
- 57:45enter. I I mean I'm I'm kind of like
- 57:48Blasey. I could see it's right there.
- 57:52It's in that group. Again, it's in the group of 10,
- 57:55but it's on the lower end I think.
- 57:58So I could I could see it as a fringe one.
- 58:00If we need to bump and move and feel if there's somebody else's
- 58:03is just a outright, they're not going to happen.
- 58:06I think it's going to make it. I think we're getting to some
- 58:08make it, so let me go over. I wrote some play in songs
- 58:13'cause I I think once it tightens up here in this top ten
- 58:17we're going to be, it's going to be fairly, there may be
- 58:20something outside of there. I think what I'm going to call
- 58:23the play in games here. Let's see who has a shot at
- 58:27getting in. Jingle Bell Rock boom.
- 58:31Got him at 11. Blasey's at 11.
- 58:35I don't have him. Don't have that in the list, but
- 58:39it is up for discussion handler. It's got to be somewhere in the
- 58:43It's got to be at least in the discussion.
- 58:46Would you put it in 10? I mean 16 are on the top ten
- 58:50move. Around.
- 58:50It's like the positive side of Christmas, right?
- 58:53You know, like some stuff it's like so dragging and so.
- 58:56Well, it that's another that just.
- 58:57Gets me moving. Well, that reminds me of another
- 58:59one that may be on your fringe list.
- 59:01Run. Run Rudolph.
- 59:03Run, run, Rudolph. It is very it is on the fringe.
- 59:07And say I would take If I had to pick between those, I'd go with
- 59:11Chuck Berry. Run, run Rudolph.
- 59:12But they're both similar. I like them both.
- 59:14I couldn't. I could see them both in a in
- 59:16the tournament all day as a seed somewhere each team.
- 59:19But do you have run run Rudolph as a seed Blasey?
- 59:23I don't. I've got them probably.
- 59:24I mean, they they're on my list, they're on a piece of paper, but
- 59:27they're not in my top 16. Yeah, I think I keep.
- 59:30Saying I have 16 teams and I've actually got 20.
- 59:32Four. So if Gene, I can run Run
- 59:34Rudolph were to play each other, who would you take?
- 59:37Blasey and I got to go with. I got to go with Jingle Bell
- 59:42Rock. I got him at 11.
- 59:44Jr. You're running with run Run
- 59:46Rudolph. Yeah, but I but I don't.
- 59:48But I like them both. That's that's that's awesome.
- 59:51I mean there's there's a loser and a winner in this deal, but
- 59:54neither are wrong. I'm going with Jingle Bell Rock
- 59:57also, so you know I would almost either one or go make it.
- 1:00:02If I had a playlist, I would pick Jingle Bell Rock because
- 1:00:04the other one is more in the vein and tempo of some of those
- 1:00:07other songs from that era. But Run Run.
- 1:00:10Rudolph stands Alone as a Chuck Berry rockabilly.
- 1:00:13Tune that there's not a whole lot of those.
- 1:00:15Very true. It Jingle Bell Rock would be #1
- 1:00:19for my son. And I think of a funny time when
- 1:00:23he was in daycare and did a little skit.
- 1:00:26That's what they sang. And it was Daddy.
- 1:00:30That's my that's my daddy. He's like 3.
- 1:00:34And then they sang that it was awesome.
- 1:00:37Little Saint Nick by The Beach Boys.
- 1:00:41I don't have Saint Nick. I know what you're talking
- 1:00:43about. Yeah.
- 1:00:44Great team, but not. Great team.
- 1:00:46I think we can agree it doesn't make the top 16, but.
- 1:00:49Great. If you're if you're a West Coast
- 1:00:51person, though, or from the surfer world probably, or that
- 1:00:55world or rock'n'roll world, You're a big Beach Boys fan,
- 1:00:58which they are a bunch. As many as The Beatles, almost.
- 1:01:01I bet there's a lot of people that would argue that's got to
- 1:01:03be in there, you know? Yeah, same thing.
- 1:01:05It's a surfing Christmas song. There's not another entry from
- 1:01:08that world, that's. True.
- 1:01:11We've discussed last Christmas. We've discussed, Chris, our
- 1:01:17pretty paper Mr. Grinch. You're a mean one, Mr. Lovitch.
- 1:01:24Yeah, I don't. I don't have it on my list.
- 1:01:25But Yep, I don't. That's a good one.
- 1:01:27Where would you put that on your list Jr.
- 1:01:30I mean, I'm like Blasey. My top 16's 3535 songs I know.
- 1:01:34But we got to narrow it down. That's the problem here.
- 1:01:38It it's again lumped in those that group with with some of
- 1:01:41those other traditional ones, Grinch, I'd say it might be like
- 1:01:46a 16 seed in my world. All right.
- 1:01:49Maybe. Did we talk Holly Jolly
- 1:01:53Christmas? Did we?
- 1:01:54Have we mentioned Holly Jolly Christmas?
- 1:01:56Have not. Yeah, Holly.
- 1:01:58Jolly Christmas. Does that make any of your
- 1:02:00lists? It didn't make.
- 1:02:01My it's good, but it didn't make my list OK all.
- 1:02:06Right. Perfect.
- 1:02:09I that's all of the play insurance I had.
- 1:02:12So going kind of going back into our our top, where were we at?
- 1:02:16Were we at #10 top ten? Yeah, yeah.
- 1:02:19All right. So I mean, we're at the top ten
- 1:02:21here. I think that they it's just
- 1:02:22going to be shuffling of numbers.
- 1:02:24I have coming in at #10 Mariah Carey's All I Want for
- 1:02:28Christmas, which is a is #1 and apparently is the number one
- 1:02:34like most listen to Christmas song of all time.
- 1:02:37I have to, but it annoys me a bit, but I do have to give it A
- 1:02:41to do. But do I?
- 1:02:43I know. And I love me, Me.
- 1:02:44She's one of my favourites of all time.
- 1:02:48But you know, and actually this year, Brenda Lee's song past her
- 1:02:52for the first time in all those years became a #1 again this
- 1:02:54year, really, after all those years.
- 1:02:58She was 13 when she recorded that song in Nashville, rocking
- 1:03:01around the Christmas tree, and it this year passed Mariah as
- 1:03:05the number one song in the country this month for that.
- 1:03:10And Mariah sent Brenda Lee a nice gift and all that bunch of
- 1:03:15flowers and a nice gift and stuff telling her
- 1:03:17congratulations on being the queen, you know this and that.
- 1:03:20So she took the spot back this year.
- 1:03:22But it's between those two as far as most numbers and most
- 1:03:25times on chart reach and world and all that stuff.
- 1:03:30But I I would say Mariah's version.
- 1:03:32Yeah, I would say A10 seed sounds about right to me.
- 1:03:35All right, I like it. Got a John?
- 1:03:37John Favors chimes in, says. I Only Want You for Christmas by
- 1:03:42Alan Jackson. Don't add him, that's a good
- 1:03:45one. I mean that's AI could do a
- 1:03:47whole 16 country list. Oh for sure.
- 1:03:50That would be as debatable. You know that may be Christmas,
- 1:03:53Christmas, Tigsmus 2020. Four and and even like I mean so
- 1:03:59like and even state by state or or region by region because
- 1:04:03Louisiana I could do a whole one on Louisiana because all
- 1:04:05professor long hair Allen Toussaint, the Nevels everybody
- 1:04:09over the years did Christmas stuff because New Orleans is was
- 1:04:12so vibey with Christmas and the same thing you know you could do
- 1:04:17each reason and hell we talk about Jamie Johnson Sammy
- 1:04:20Kershaw's got a great Christmas record I mean you a lot of
- 1:04:23country guys did and gals do Christmas stuff you know.
- 1:04:27Paul says Step into Christmas, Elton John.
- 1:04:30I don't think I've ever heard that song.
- 1:04:32So. Good one.
- 1:04:34But I'm I'm not a I'm absolutely not afraid to check it out.
- 1:04:38So I wrote that down. Hey, what was another song,
- 1:04:42Paul? You had mentioned another song.
- 1:04:44John John Schneider's song. I can't remember the name of it
- 1:04:48right now. What was the name of that one?
- 1:04:50I want to make sure to mention it to everybody, at least so it
- 1:04:53so folks can can listen to it. What were you going to say, Jr.
- 1:04:58On the other end of the spectrum, I don't know if this
- 1:05:00was a Fringe one or it may be way up on somebody's list.
- 1:05:04Run DMC Christmas in Hollis. Oh yeah, I use that as the promo
- 1:05:09today and we were going live. That was the the music that
- 1:05:13played on Instagram and on Facebook.
- 1:05:16On the on the little little deal.
- 1:05:17Yeah, it doesn't make my list. It doesn't make my top 16 list.
- 1:05:20But do I love it? Hell yes, I love it.
- 1:05:23Do I love that rap song that the rap version of with?
- 1:05:27I can't remember the dude who sang it but had exhibit in it.
- 1:05:30I sent it to y'all yesterday. So that's.
- 1:05:32As dope as it. Loves it.
- 1:05:34Love it. Doesn't make my top 16, but but
- 1:05:37man is it slick, you know? Yeah.
- 1:05:40Well, I love the non traditional stuff too.
- 1:05:42Well, and on the other end of the spectrum again, someone I
- 1:05:45ran into a month or so ago, Ray Stevens, Grandma got run over by
- 1:05:49a reindeer. Oh yeah.
- 1:05:50You know those? Yeah, I think.
- 1:05:52Amanda asked me that today. She said.
- 1:05:53What about Grandma? Got run over by a reindeer?
- 1:05:55Had it, had it on my list. I was like, my gosh, that's such
- 1:05:57a good one though. I know I don't even have it on
- 1:05:59the list either, but yeah man, I mean that's a that's a more than
- 1:06:02a worthy song. Damn classic it is.
- 1:06:07It's great. Let's see, I have coming in at
- 1:06:12#9 and I think I want to take this off of of my list, but we
- 1:06:16haven't hit it yet. Feliz Navidad comes in at #4
- 1:06:21with AII. Think it's on my list because
- 1:06:25you're you're guaranteed to hear it.
- 1:06:27And I think about Christmas when I do, because it's the only time
- 1:06:30is Blake. I had it in a 15 seed and it it
- 1:06:32got removed for a way in a Manger, but but yes, that's a
- 1:06:36good one, you know. I got.
- 1:06:38A lot of scratches on my list, like I it kept being scratched.
- 1:06:42It could be it's just getting crazy over.
- 1:06:44Here it could be a top ten to me even.
- 1:06:46It's great. It's good.
- 1:06:47It's great. So it's probably seated about
- 1:06:49right at the number nine seed for me.
- 1:06:50Sure. Kind of.
- 1:06:52Kind of in there eight. I have Sinatra's version of
- 1:06:58Jingle Bells. How do you leave Jingle Bells
- 1:07:02out? Jingle Bells got to be on there.
- 1:07:04Oh. I got Jingle Bells for sure.
- 1:07:06I got Jingle Bells at #2. I think it's great.
- 1:07:09Yeah, I think it's great and. It's Sinatra.
- 1:07:10That's the one I got, yeah. Yeah, I mean, you've got to have
- 1:07:13that one. So that's a high seed, probably
- 1:07:158, maybe a little low for that one.
- 1:07:18I don't know. We're getting into major good
- 1:07:21song territory. I would, I'd agree at top five
- 1:07:24Jingle Bells. My sister says.
- 1:07:27What about Tinder, Tennessee. Christmas.
- 1:07:32I don't know that one. I don't either.
- 1:07:33But I'm going to. Tender, tender, tender Tennessee
- 1:07:37Christmas 'cause they all just cause Bam would just whoop that
- 1:07:39butt and they'd all tender up there, you know what I mean?
- 1:07:42That's the That's the first thing that came to my That's the
- 1:07:44first thing that came to my redneck Alabama mine.
- 1:07:46It would. Oh my God it.
- 1:07:47Would be poor poor things up there all.
- 1:07:51Right #7 I have Elvis's Blue Christmas.
- 1:07:56I got Blue Christmas. He's down the list of the
- 1:07:59couple, but Yep. Where do you have him on your
- 1:08:01list? I had.
- 1:08:03We'd passed over and I think I had it 11 or 12.
- 1:08:07Yeah, that's right. We did give it, didn't we?
- 1:08:09You know, right. You're going to put that in your
- 1:08:12top ten, huh, Jr. Oh yeah.
- 1:08:17Let's see. I have and I never covered it.
- 1:08:20I don't know if we did. We cover rocking around the
- 1:08:22Christmas tree at all. Have we hit that yet?
- 1:08:27No. No.
- 1:08:29And I don't think yeah. I I I had it at 11 seed.
- 1:08:33I think we skipped over that. Where would y'all?
- 1:08:36I mean rocking, rocking around the Christmas tree is it has to
- 1:08:39be in the top 16, that song for sure.
- 1:08:43It's not on my list. It's not on your list, OK?
- 1:08:45All right. What about you top top five for
- 1:08:48me? Top five, all right, it's on the
- 1:08:52list then. All right, I have at skipping
- 1:08:55back to number 6:00-ish. Somewhere in there I have.
- 1:08:59It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
- 1:09:04Is that on Y'all's list? I believe it is.
- 1:09:11Hilton says Jingle Bells gets in the Power 5.
- 1:09:14Power 5. And Paul Rogers says John
- 1:09:23Schneider does a good version of White Christmas.
- 1:09:27The movie is Christmas Comes to Willow Creek.
- 1:09:30That's what? Oh yeah.
- 1:09:31Yeah. Yeah.
- 1:09:34Yeah, I'm go check that out. John's got a several good movies
- 1:09:37like that that were not big, you know, mainstream productions
- 1:09:41that he put out independently and stuff that are really good.
- 1:09:44His, his, his whole studio and all of that's about 30 minutes
- 1:09:49from where I'm sitting right now out in Livingston Parish.
- 1:09:53Yeah, I'm going to. I'm going to reach out to him.
- 1:09:55We're going to try to y'all pay, be listening out for that.
- 1:09:57I'm going to try to reach out to John and see if we can get him.
- 1:09:59Come on the show. Here Live Scoop.
- 1:10:01There folks. Live Scoop.
- 1:10:03Hell yeah. Love to talk with him that.
- 1:10:05'D be a blast, dude. Yes, it would be.
- 1:10:08All right, did. You say have yourself a merry
- 1:10:09little Christmas. What?
- 1:10:10What'd you just say? It's beginning to look like.
- 1:10:13It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
- 1:10:15I do not have yourself a merry little Christmas.
- 1:10:19Yeah, with Frank, I've got him in there, but definitely.
- 1:10:22Where do you have him? Have who?
- 1:10:29Have yourself a Merry Christmas. I've got, I've got it at the
- 1:10:32nine seat. 9. Yeah.
- 1:10:36Would you put that in your top 16 Jr.
- 1:10:39Oh yeah. Top 10.
- 1:10:44And right there, teetering on it.
- 1:10:45Yeah, all. Right.
- 1:10:46I'm going to put it at 10. That one probably just made it,
- 1:10:51and probably just made it. And that's and it should.
- 1:10:53It should. All right.
- 1:10:55What about it? It's beginning to look a lot
- 1:10:57like Christmas. Is that in it for either?
- 1:10:58Any either of y'all. It's in that group again.
- 1:11:04I mean, I don't know I if I could put fifteen of those songs
- 1:11:06that are all in that same group, but I.
- 1:11:08I'm just out of room. I'm out of room.
- 1:11:10But it's great. I just you know.
- 1:11:12Great song, but it may be a limit.
- 1:11:14It may have. Just see that that there could
- 1:11:15be a couple surprises in our selection show here.
- 1:11:18Yeah, man, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas may
- 1:11:21have just been eliminated. I think it was.
- 1:11:23I just scratched it out. It's gone.
- 1:11:25Bye. All right, #5 this this is my
- 1:11:30#5, and this song may not even be on y'all's radar at all.
- 1:11:35Wonderful Christmas Time by Paul McCartney.
- 1:11:37I obviously like The Beatles. I love The Beatles, but I don't.
- 1:11:41I don't have it on the list, but that's a good one.
- 1:11:45I just always, I just love that 70s sound that it has.
- 1:11:49It's like it. Takes great, a great song.
- 1:11:52That is absolutely great. It is.
- 1:11:53Would you? Put it in your top 16 Jr.
- 1:11:56It no, I don't think so. I think it's a top 30, but I
- 1:11:59don't think it's a top 16. I think it just, but I I don't
- 1:12:01know it, but it moves up. That's something that moved
- 1:12:03Frosty used to be my number one, but I I would say, but you know,
- 1:12:06I think The Beatles songs weren't when I was a kid, but
- 1:12:10now they're moving. They get spots every couple
- 1:12:12years. They move up a few spots.
- 1:12:14Like the Wham song. I used to not would have liked
- 1:12:16the Wham song, but it's moved up as I've become an adult.
- 1:12:18You know, right. Right Now, Speaking of Frosty
- 1:12:20the Snowman, I had that coming in at my number four seed.
- 1:12:24I got frosty at 5:00. OK, I can.
- 1:12:26I can live with that all day. So good it's it's.
- 1:12:28Properly, it just mirrors with the movie, you know what I mean?
- 1:12:32Perfect. It's perfect.
- 1:12:33Yeah. It does and I have.
- 1:12:35Jimmy Duranty and Jimmy Duranty's voice.
- 1:12:38It's just perfect. It is.
- 1:12:41It is. I have at #3 the Christmas Nat
- 1:12:46King Cole. It may not make everybody's
- 1:12:51list, but it just that that one. I don't have it man on my list,
- 1:12:56you. Don't have it.
- 1:12:57I don't, man. Like it's crazy, like.
- 1:12:59I love this because it's making room for some of these other
- 1:13:02songs. Like I we've really and truly
- 1:13:04have have narrowed this down. This is awesome.
- 1:13:07I if I can ever go back and read, The good thing is this is
- 1:13:10on video. Yeah, that's true.
- 1:13:12I can replay this video and watch it.
- 1:13:15Not because I'm no longer going to be able to read what the hell
- 1:13:18I've written. Because I would have the
- 1:13:19Christmas song. Yeah, the Christmas song would
- 1:13:21be in my top 16. OK you would, and I'm going to
- 1:13:25have it at three. It may make it.
- 1:13:26It may squeak in as a as a as a a later.
- 1:13:29Not as high of a seed as I have them.
- 1:13:32All right, I have my #2 is Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
- 1:13:38I got Rudolph, Jean all trees. We got Rudolph sitting at #4
- 1:13:41all. Right.
- 1:13:43I could handle that. Yep.
- 1:13:45All right. We're we're running out of how
- 1:13:47did we just miss one because we just no, no, let's let's keep
- 1:13:50going let's let's see. Well, I only have one song left
- 1:13:52and then we're going to cover what songs we may not have
- 1:13:55covered that could potentially take one of these 1234 spots
- 1:13:59that I've taken out already on my sheet.
- 1:14:02I My number one's Bing Crosby's White Christmas.
- 1:14:05I got white Christmas is #3. OK.
- 1:14:09Yeah, I thought we'd left it out somehow, but we didn't, Yeah.
- 1:14:12Where would you put it, Jr. Top three, yeah.
- 1:14:19White Christmas probably going to come in as the number one
- 1:14:21seed. Just kind of quick quick.
- 1:14:23What about Silent Night? I mean, where's?
- 1:14:25Silent night. Yeah.
- 1:14:26Silent night. I forget.
- 1:14:27I've got. I forgot.
- 1:14:28Yeah, we we we started with #1. It worked our way back.
- 1:14:33Yeah, we agreed. Sorry.
- 1:14:34It was like an hour ago. Yeah, I know.
- 1:14:37It's this is tough, dude. This is so tough.
- 1:14:39It is tough. It is tough I.
- 1:14:41Agree. Way more difficult than movies.
- 1:14:43You know what I mean? Like, you think about 16
- 1:14:45Christmas movies you want to watch.
- 1:14:47You're not watching much past, you know, five or six of them,
- 1:14:51maybe maybe 8. You know what I mean?
- 1:14:53You're going to listen to all these songs.
- 1:14:55You know a bunch of 3040, 50 of them, you know.
- 1:14:59I I think tender. I think tender.
- 1:15:00Tennessee Christmas is probably on one of the Alabama Christmas
- 1:15:04albums. It is.
- 1:15:05I'm sorry I missed that, but that is a great Christmas record
- 1:15:08that I go to reference on that all the time.
- 1:15:10That whole album again could be the list in my opinion.
- 1:15:14Yeah, for sure. For sure.
- 1:15:16Are there any songs that we didn't cover?
- 1:15:20I'm sure. That would make that would be
- 1:15:24good enough to make your top 16, 'cause I mean, we just talked, I
- 1:15:27mean, I think of, we probably talked about 40 songs.
- 1:15:30The Bruce Springsteen song Get all.
- 1:15:32Kind of songs, man. The Bruce Springsteen song,
- 1:15:36Merry Christmas, baby. Oh, hell yeah.
- 1:15:39Yeah, that's that's got my my wife and I.
- 1:15:41That might be our new number one.
- 1:15:42We might, it might have passed some of the traditionals for us.
- 1:15:45We love that song this. Time and Ray.
- 1:15:46Ray Charles, the song that's in Christmas Vacation when he's in
- 1:15:50the attic and Christmas Time of year.
- 1:15:53Yeah, it just gives you a joke. Yeah.
- 1:15:56Those how. Does that not make the list?
- 1:15:59I just just thought about it. That's definitely on my list,
- 1:16:02but is it in the top 16? And and Springsteen.
- 1:16:05Santa Claus is coming to town. Yeah.
- 1:16:09You know saying, you know, but I I yeah, right now in my life I
- 1:16:16like it. It's more than some of these
- 1:16:17others. But overall impact, I guess
- 1:16:19maybe not? Yeah.
- 1:16:21Let it snow, Let it snow. We got that on the list.
- 1:16:23Yep. Most wonderful time of the year.
- 1:16:29Oh yeah, I got that on my list at #7.
- 1:16:31We skipped over that though. But yeah, I love that song.
- 1:16:35That's such a good song. Yeah, you just hear.
- 1:16:41It once and then it never leaves your.
- 1:16:42Head Lacey, you You didn't watch the Andy Williams Christmas
- 1:16:45special when you were a little kid, did you?
- 1:16:47Never. Did did you remember it?
- 1:16:50Yeah. Oh, I figured you, 'cause you're
- 1:16:52a few, you're just one or two years older.
- 1:16:53Me. But I, I, I, I remember it
- 1:16:56sitting there with my grandparents and it being on and
- 1:16:57it being like a winter Wonderland inside your
- 1:17:00television, you know? And it was it.
- 1:17:04It was just. Amazing the TV back then.
- 1:17:06Too, Yeah, on the floor and it. But their sets and all that was
- 1:17:09just so Christmassy and they all came out and sang all those
- 1:17:12songs. Yeah, Andy Williams had some
- 1:17:14great Christmas records. And stuff.
- 1:17:16Yes, absolutely. Did I remember?
- 1:17:17That. Very, very well.
- 1:17:22Just adding up here. Yeah, I mean we're, I think
- 1:17:26we've kind of got it narrowed down.
- 1:17:27I'll of course send you guys. The Little Drummer boy did we
- 1:17:31mention? That I got the Little Drummer
- 1:17:33Boy on my list at #10. Yep.
- 1:17:36And Pentatonix does a good job with that too.
- 1:17:38From a newer age deal. Yep.
- 1:17:41The Grinch, the mean one Mr. Grinch we talked about that
- 1:17:44would. You put Little Drummer Boy where
- 1:17:46you've got him in your top ten, Blasey.
- 1:17:49You've got him in him. I had it.
- 1:17:52I've got hey. You got that Little Drummer boy
- 1:17:54in there, Blaci. Here he comes.
- 1:17:57Yeah, I've got. I actually had it at 10, but
- 1:17:59dude, if we, you know, we're going through those.
- 1:18:00I was like I said, I can only put 16 in, can't put 30 teams in
- 1:18:04my 16 list. So yeah, we're going to have
- 1:18:07more of a debate on this, but this is that.
- 1:18:09We may need a play in tournament for the last for 15 and 16 and
- 1:18:12take like 8 or 10 and then try to ram them in there.
- 1:18:15I don't know, dude. It's tough.
- 1:18:16I tell you one, another one that strikes the internal tuning fork
- 1:18:20is Mary, did you know when someone whips into that?
- 1:18:25You know, like, I know in in the Medea Christmas movie, which I
- 1:18:28love. Medea Family Christmas, Tyler
- 1:18:31Perry. It's a great Christmas movie.
- 1:18:33But the little boy in there, he sings that by himself in the
- 1:18:36little Christmas play. And it it just, boy, it gets me
- 1:18:38every time like, man, that brave.
- 1:18:39But what a beautiful little song.
- 1:18:42You know, That's another one. So many, man.
- 1:18:45So many. And you know, when we had this
- 1:18:47initial thought, it was bracket bracket, champion song versus
- 1:18:54champion movie. I don't think that's possible.
- 1:18:56It was a dumb idea, but so we'll just have a, we'll just have a
- 1:19:00winner. Did we have a a music winner and
- 1:19:03a song winner? Did we have walk, Did we have
- 1:19:05walking in a winter Wonderland or in the play in at least?
- 1:19:08I don't think we. I don't think it was discussed
- 1:19:10about. It I don't.
- 1:19:11Think we discussed that 'cause there's so you know, with
- 1:19:14Christmas that word in there and there's only so many words
- 1:19:17around it. Like all these songs are like
- 1:19:19the same 5 words rearranged a lot of them.
- 1:19:22You know what I mean? Yeah.
- 1:19:24I mean, did we hit Deck the Halls?
- 1:19:27No. See, It's almost like oh.
- 1:19:31Yeah, that's smooth jazz. Deck the halls for you all.
- 1:19:39Oh yeah, forgot I. Incorporated some stuff up in
- 1:19:42here from this. This, this goes.
- 1:19:44This reminds me of, like, riding around Montgomery AL as a kid.
- 1:19:47During Christmas time, I'll listen to the local jazz channel
- 1:19:49with my mom. I love it, man.
- 1:19:51That that is smooth. That is smooth.
- 1:19:54But jazz smooth. Smooth We almost should do
- 1:19:59traditional song like almost hymnal traditional songs versus
- 1:20:05popular songs. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:20:08Because there's ten, there's 10 songs that are have a lean
- 1:20:12spiritually that I wouldn't want to leave out of the list.
- 1:20:16But they're going to take the whole.
- 1:20:17They're going to take the whole list.
- 1:20:19Yeah, I know. Like a way in a Manger as kind
- 1:20:22of discussed that. I mean, oh, holy night, yes.
- 1:20:25Oh, holy night. These are all staples.
- 1:20:27I think those kind of go without saying, you know, so OK, I guess
- 1:20:32maybe more so these are songs that you would hear on the
- 1:20:36radio, you know, like or where while you're shopping in some
- 1:20:41store or go into the movies, the elevator music.
- 1:20:44Right. Elevator music.
- 1:20:45Yeah. Yeah, I get it.
- 1:20:48Well, yeah, I like it, man. I I think.
- 1:20:51Jackson 5. Santa Claus is coming to town.
- 1:20:53How do we leave that? Yeah, right, Riley.
- 1:20:57Riley said that. Riley told me yesterday.
- 1:20:59He said that has to make the list.
- 1:21:00Dad know it. Yeah.
- 1:21:03I mean, that's on the that's on the edge.
- 1:21:05But I don't know if it does it make your list Jr.
- 1:21:09I mean, I I don't know. I mean.
- 1:21:11It doesn't make mine. No, I guess not for some of
- 1:21:15these other. It's not on my list, but like,
- 1:21:17yeah, it's so it's so good. But a great song, I mean, just
- 1:21:19'cause it's a great song, it doesn't mean it's an amazing
- 1:21:21song. The it's these are all like you
- 1:21:23said, Jr. very, very subject to change.
- 1:21:28Oh, I can't believe I forgot this one Christmas, Baby,
- 1:21:32please. Come on, darling.
- 1:21:34Love. Yeah.
- 1:21:35Hello. Unbelievable.
- 1:21:38We can keep going. We can keep going.
- 1:21:39We can many of them, man. There are.
- 1:21:42There are and. Now we know Florida State is not
- 1:21:44playing in a major bowl this year.
- 1:21:47Look, it's what we've learned. So this has been the exercise,
- 1:21:51this has been our exercise to understand what a selection
- 1:21:54committee goes through even. Georgia got left out.
- 1:21:58You know what I mean? Like, everybody keeps talking
- 1:22:00about Florida State, but Georgia, probably the best team
- 1:22:03in the country. If you put them up against
- 1:22:04anybody from Vegas standpoint, I guarantee they're favored over
- 1:22:07every team in the country and they got left out.
- 1:22:10It happens. It happens sometimes, man, you
- 1:22:12know, there's only room for so many.
- 1:22:14And the other one's just, sorry guys, you know, better luck next
- 1:22:17year. That's exactly right.
- 1:22:22That's exactly right. Well look, we're going to start
- 1:22:24to wrap it up here folks. If you guys that are out there
- 1:22:27and chat if y'all have any have any questions or anything hit us
- 1:22:30up real quick before we roll out and and but look I can't believe
- 1:22:38just how much interaction once again today going live at noon
- 1:22:42not the not the prime time by any means was the only time that
- 1:22:47the three of us could get together today and we wanted to
- 1:22:49do this to start to jump into next week's Christmas show.
- 1:22:55We don't want to drag this out for an hour and a half talking
- 1:22:59about all of this. We want to you know here it is.
- 1:23:03We'll name our champion. We'll do that fairly quickly at
- 1:23:07the top of the the Christmas show next week and then dive
- 1:23:10into some other things that we decide we want to talk about and
- 1:23:13we may not even go any further than that.
- 1:23:15But but you know, I I I can't believe the support that we've
- 1:23:22had from all of y'all that are out there listening and that
- 1:23:26have messaged me and and and our show and shared it and all that
- 1:23:30to if you're wherever you're watching this right now, make
- 1:23:33sure that you share it like it even after it ends.
- 1:23:36This will replay again for any of this stuff that's shared,
- 1:23:40'cause I know not everybody can watch this at noon on a
- 1:23:44Thursday, you know, coming in live.
- 1:23:47But oh, look, my sister says one last one.
- 1:23:52She did step into Christmas. Yeah, that's she.
- 1:23:54She said that. And she also says that Tiggs and
- 1:23:58I are music connoisseurs now. Guilty.
- 1:24:02Guilty as charged. There.
- 1:24:05And then and then, Paul says. It's been awesome, my friend.

- 1:24:10Thank all of y'all thank all of y'all it's it's been fun.
- 1:24:14I'm look, I really like doing these.
- 1:24:17I think y'all do too. It's been it.
- 1:24:20It's it's definitely eye opening to see that, yeah, this is the
- 1:24:24way we should be doing this show interactive.
- 1:24:27We won't do them all like this, of course, 'cause sometimes
- 1:24:30we'll have guests, So hopefully sometimes we'll have guests and
- 1:24:33we'll just run it live and it, you know, and and and do that
- 1:24:37because it that's fun too. And then there'll be other times
- 1:24:39where we're more doing more of a studio kind of like show but but
- 1:24:44either way either way man this is a this is a lot of fun and
- 1:24:48and we couldn't do it without y'all we're trying to grow keep
- 1:24:51trying to help us grow and and and y'all are doing everything
- 1:24:54that you can that that makes it look good helps the numbers and
- 1:24:58the the algorithm as they say. So boys, that's all I've got for
- 1:25:03this one. Yeah, man.
