• 0:01
  Welcome to the listen show. You continue to talk like you're
• 0:06
  talking right now. You'll be history on this
• 0:07
  program like Cooler show. Nobody eats beef and Roni on a
• 0:14
  boat, man. That's a problem, Yokozuna.
• 0:20
  Blew my mind what you did, Jack Tony.
• 0:38
  Let's go. I'm out of your skin.
• 0:39
  I'm ready for this. Episode now, yeah.
• 0:48
  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to your favorite nostalgic
• 0:50
  wrestling podcast. This is the Extra Cooler show.
• 0:53
  My name is Nick, otherwise known as Extra Cooler.
• 0:55
  My Survivor Series team is here with me, Matt, Mike, and Jim.
• 0:59
  As usually you can find us on Instagram at Extra Cooler and at
• 1:03
  the Extra Cooler show. Also join us over on our discord
• 1:06
  channel. You know where to find that.
• 1:08
  But before we go any further, happy birthday guys this as we
• 1:13
  record this episode. It is our five year anniversary
• 1:18
  of the extra Cooler show. Man this is insane when you
• 1:22
  think. We're going to kindergarten.
• 1:25
  Five years ago on episode #1 we covered the Macho Man versus The
• 1:30
  Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 7, and Whitehead nipples have
• 1:34
  never been the same. Yeah, I would say we've come a
• 1:38
  long way since Whitehead nipples, but we haven't.
• 1:40
  No, we still reference it 198 episodes later.
• 1:45
  We've also fit digits. We've we've also covered that
• 1:50
  match two more times. Yes, we we covered WrestleMania
• 1:54
  7 as a whole. So we talked about it again and
• 1:57
  then we had Ted wrestling for sale on when still one of our
• 2:00
  most popular episodes ever, which Ted cheers,
• 2:03
  congratulations. Pretty damn cool.
• 2:05
  And yeah, he brought the same match 'cause he was in the house
• 2:09
  for it. So it's always now like one of
• 2:11
  those matches that has this special lore in my wrestling
• 2:14
  fandom. So cheers, boys.
• 2:16
  Five years. Pretty freaking cool.
• 2:18
  December 16, 2020 Go back and listen again.
• 2:22
  I I mean, the quality is not as great.
• 2:24
  The you're too already zoom without real phones.
• 2:28
  It was. It was a.
• 2:29
  It was a weird time. Do warriors nipples, the white
• 2:32
  hat nipples, do they take up two spaces on our mountain Rushmore
• 2:35
  or just one? Let's answer that on Discord.
• 2:40
  Hit us on Discord answer that question.
• 2:42
  How does Nick like? Yeah.
• 2:47
  Just. The nips is a Crest of a
• 2:49
  mountain like. Areola.
• 2:51
  Is areola involved? Now that's that's a chalk line
• 2:54
  jacket right there. So as you're, as I've alluded
• 2:58
  to, this is our 198th episode and you're probably sitting
• 3:02
  there saying like, wow, 585 years, or hopefully you're
• 3:05
  saying five years and they're just going to glance over it
• 3:07
  with a Christmas episode. No, no, no, we're, we're, we
• 3:10
  have to deliver our annual Christmas episode.
• 3:13
  And then after the holidays, once we hit #200 we're going to
• 3:17
  line those bad boys up with a very special blockbuster
• 3:20
  episode, which we have no clue what we're covering.
• 3:22
  Spoiler alert. I I have a strong suggestion
• 3:25
  I've made. I'm really open this where we
• 3:27
  end up it it fit very fitting of anniversary shows of big, you
• 3:32
  know, episode 100, things like that.
• 3:34
  It's a little outside the box. It's not us covering a normal
• 3:38
  wrestling match. So I have an idea.
• 3:40
  I've I've proposed it. I don't know if anybody
• 3:42
  remembers, it's been, I don't. Remember it even that's I feel
• 3:45
  like though even this I think the Christmas special is one of
• 3:48
  the greatest things in all of you know popular culture and to
• 3:53
  do a Christmas special on our five year anniversary or five
• 3:55
  year birthday. I think that's.
• 3:58
  Almost as good as Gats. It is.
• 4:00
  It's, it's, it's a lot of fun and I think we're going to have
• 4:03
  a lot of fun this week on this episode.
• 4:06
  Yeah, thanks to Extra Cooler. The listeners should know how
• 4:08
  much work you put into this episode because you set it up
• 4:11
  for us and this is going to be the three of us before you
• 4:14
  logged on tonight. We were like, this is so much
• 4:16
  fun. He set it up so perfectly and
• 4:18
  we're fired up so. Thanks, guys.
• 4:20
  I'm here for it. But before we do, Matt, why
• 4:23
  don't you deliver us some housekeeping?
• 4:26
  Enough is enough, and it's time for.
• 4:29
  Housekeeping. So there's a lot of pressure on
• 4:35
  me right now because we came off of last episode where we had the
• 4:39
  Google AI fiasco that I didn't even know was actually AI.
• 4:43
  When I was reading the stats and was talking about Sable and how
• 4:47
  many defenses that she had in her title title reign.
• 4:51
  I actually went back and I googled the same exact line that
• 4:54
  I googled the night of 'cause remember I was doing my homework
• 4:58
  while walking to class. I asked Jim to bend over so I
• 5:01
  can write on his back. Yeah, so.
• 5:05
  And it wasn't there. The second time I, I googled the
• 5:07
  same exact thing. The 0 defenses wasn't there.
• 5:10
  But there's a lot of pressure here.
• 5:12
  Thankfully, I have friends that are really nice to me and reach
• 5:15
  out because the only thing that was housekeeping from last week
• 5:20
  was Scotty to Hottie. And why was he the match right
• 5:23
  before this JBL and John Cena match that was happening and the
• 5:27
  one in the only Ace field? Retro made sure to take care of
• 5:30
  me and he reached out because he told me this.
• 5:33
  This was similar to what they were doing in 2002 when Kurt
• 5:37
  Angle was feuding with Rey Mysterio.
• 5:39
  Ray, I'm sorry, Angle was out there just destroying
• 5:42
  cruiserweights to make it, you know, come along that he's going
• 5:45
  to do the same thing to Ray. They wanted to do essentially
• 5:48
  the same exact thing with JBL here in 2005 and him just
• 5:52
  annihilate people on their way to Cena and this just brutalize
• 5:56
  someone. And it just so happened to be
• 5:58
  that it was. And I quit match with Scotty too
• 6:00
  hottie and he just absolutely demoralizes and crushes him.
• 6:04
  But there was 0 connection to John Cena.
• 6:07
  So Ace, thank you, Sir. He is currently in the middle of
• 6:11
  doing a another season of shot of Nostalgia where he is
• 6:13
  covering the Smackdown 6. So in that in kind of vein of
• 6:17
  what we're talking about and what we were talking about with
• 6:19
  Cena, really cool for him. So go check that out with Ace.
• 6:24
  And thanks for saving my ass so I didn't have to make another AI
• 6:27
  mistake. Shout out to Ace too for having
• 6:30
  like the raddest like sports jackets in the world.
• 6:33
  Right? Like I'm always super jealous
• 6:36
  whenever I see him doing like the ring announcer gig and like
• 6:39
  it's pretty sick. They're always very flashy,
• 6:42
  colorful, sequenced. They're they're a sight sight to
• 6:46
  be seen. So find Ace out on Long Island,
• 6:49
  all over the Northeast New Jersey, sometimes into
• 6:52
  Massachusetts with rad pro. So some really good stuff from
• 6:55
  from that man. And he also has a baseball
• 6:56
  podcast. Now we're talking about Ace on
• 6:58
  the five year anniversary. Yeah, the Table Setters podcast
• 7:02
  is one of my first lessons of the week, so definitely go check
• 7:05
  that out too. But we're gonna we're gonna make
• 7:11
  it through some housekeeping and let's go right into Jingle Bells
• 7:15
  and let's have some fun. I love those Jingle.
• 7:20
  All right, so for this very festive episode, we we've
• 7:22
  covered a lot of holiday related wrestling episodes.
• 7:27
  So we decided to dive into our bag with the extra cooler shows
• 7:31
  12 days of Christmas. So I've got 12 days of Christmas
• 7:35
  for you guys and they're really obscure, which you know, is
• 7:40
  right, right in our wheelhouse. Some of the stuff we have known,
• 7:43
  some of this stuff we have touched on some of the stuff
• 7:46
  we've just talked about before hitting the record button and
• 7:49
  and that's why we decided to add to it.
• 7:51
  So on the 12th day of Christmas, extra cooler gave to me and this
• 7:56
  one comes from Matt. Actually this was the first
• 7:58
  thing thrown out there as a little clip.
• 8:01
  Matt wanted the rocks 12 days of Christmas from smack down on
• 8:05
  December 20th, 2001. This features first of all.
• 8:10
  Actually, this features The Rock feuding with none other than
• 8:15
  Test, so that just tells you where wrestling was at in 2001
• 8:20
  that Test is a main player. I mean listen, it's like they do
• 8:23
  this all the time. Like Test is the equivalent to
• 8:27
  LA Knight right now, so it all makes perfect sense.
• 8:31
  But the Rocks Singing 12. Days didn't really have a catch
• 8:34
  phrase. Yeah, but he sucks so they don't
• 8:38
  line. Up.
• 8:38
  Fair enough. So rock's out there.
• 8:41
  He's singing 12 things he can test, can look forward to
• 8:45
  tonight during their match. And this is highlighted, not you
• 8:49
  have audio of this, don't you? Do you want to just play it?
• 8:52
  I think you should. It's 48 seconds.
• 8:54
  It's 48 seconds, but it's classic, classic, just good old
• 8:57
  rock titles. So let's let's take a listen.
• 9:00
  On a night test base, a great one, this is what he'll see. 12
• 9:10
  shot shooter stinging, 11 eyebrows raising, 10 spines A
• 9:14
  busting, 9 noggins knocking, 8 kicks, a kicking, 7 punches
• 9:17
  punching, 6 suplex smashing. 5 seconds of the people chanting
• 9:23
  the rocks. Name 1. 5.
• 9:37
  Seconds 4 rock bottoms, 3 people's elbows on your $2.00
• 9:41
  teeth and a kicking all over New Orleans.
• 9:48
  You're like, you're listening to it.
• 9:50
  You're just you're waiting for him to throw something in there
• 9:53
  and the the three people's elbows on your $2.00 teeth.
• 9:57
  He's got a he had to be a Dick, You know, he's like classic
• 10:00
  rock. You.
• 10:02
  See him, you see why he's a movie star though.
• 10:05
  Like, oh, 100% using Charisma. And I'm going to give Matt his
• 10:09
  first bit of homework for 2026. And I tried to look this up
• 10:16
  really quick as you were playing the clip, but was this the first
• 10:18
  time that the rocks sung on television as like, I don't
• 10:24
  know, it might have been is. This where he gets the
• 10:26
  confidence for your welcome. Is that basically where it stems
• 10:29
  from this? I don't know, I I truly do not
• 10:32
  know he's. Watching that clip again right
• 10:35
  now, he's vibing right, Like he he he looks like he could be
• 10:40
  like a stage actor. Almost like I don't want to blow
• 10:42
  his, you know, too much smoke up his ass because he does annoy
• 10:45
  me. He has to be a Dick as someone
• 10:47
  with you know, I don't have buck teeth, but I have like prominent
• 10:49
  front teeth. So like, you know, like.
• 10:52
  You got your parents got your braces, they took care of you.
• 10:55
  Parents took got me braces but he always he's always kind of a
• 10:58
  Dick. Yeah, this is a test we're
• 11:01
  talking about, so I didn't. Feel that?
• 11:02
  No, you're right in the in the end, dunk on test all you want.
• 11:08
  Dumb on test all you want. So I I really appreciated that
• 11:12
  our first gift for this episode. So I think you guys see where
• 11:16
  we're going with this because on the 11th day of Christmas, Extra
• 11:20
  Cooler gave to me. We've talked about this in the
• 11:23
  past. We've had holiday episodes, but
• 11:26
  I want to revisit it one more time because it is an age-old
• 11:30
  question. And Mike, don't get too excited.
• 11:33
  We could almost have a little draft about this.
• 11:35
  Oh wait, we already did. We'll talk about it a little
• 11:38
  more. But give me 3 must watch
• 11:42
  Christmas movies every holiday season, whether it's something
• 11:45
  you have to watch, your family has to watch.
• 11:48
  What are the three movies that stand out to you?
• 11:52
  Why don't you each throw one out at a time?
• 11:55
  This is who wants to leave? This is, you know, everyone,
• 11:57
  everyone has like. Give me one.
• 11:58
  Give me one, Mike. Me.
• 12:01
  Yeah, you. All right, ET, let's watch.
• 12:05
  Get this. Guy off.
• 12:08
  The show ET takes place around Halloween first of all.
• 12:11
  I know that I'm I'm being a joke joke maker.
• 12:16
  All right, I'll give you a Jingle all the way.
• 12:18
  Yes, I'm so glad you said that. That's on your must watch.
• 12:22
  Have you shown that to your son? No.
• 12:26
  I don't think a kid would get that right now.
• 12:28
  No, he might like love the chaos though.
• 12:30
  Like it's like pure 90s, you know, Black Friday type chaos.
• 12:35
  Yeah, you know, it's got Arnold. I mean Arnold on Christmas.
• 12:39
  You can't go wrong enough. Said enough said.
• 12:41
  Phil Hartman. Yeah, it's in bed.
• 12:44
  And Anakin Skywalker. I mean, come on.
• 12:47
  Does the audience know that Sinbad is basically like, I
• 12:50
  don't know Jesus or God in the Morano family and your your
• 12:54
  wife's family as well? What happened to the not
• 12:57
  dropping last names? There happened to that to that
• 13:00
  rule. Don't worry, it's a Christmas
• 13:04
  episode no one's going to hold it against.
• 13:06
  You you continue to talk like you're talking right now and
• 13:10
  you'll be history on this program.
• 13:11
  I can guarantee you. Fantastic.
• 13:13
  All right, man, Matt, I'm going to have you follow up.
• 13:16
  What's what? They go to Christmas.
• 13:19
  We can't go any further without talking about Home Alone.
• 13:21
  Let's be honest, it's on every one of our lists.
• 13:24
  Both 1 and 2 are must haves. I'm getting squeezing both of
• 13:28
  them into my call here. Home Alone 1 and 2 has to
• 13:30
  happen. Agreed. 100%.
• 13:34
  I got like a newer one from the two years ago the holdovers.
• 13:38
  Have you guys seen that one yet? I feel like I hyped it up.
• 13:40
  It's really good. It's like the Paul Giamatti
• 13:42
  movie from 2 years ago. He's like it's honestly it's
• 13:47
  like my favorite movie since the Lord of the rings.
• 13:49
  I I like not even just like it's and it is it is a 100% a
• 13:54
  Christmas movie like more than like die hard, which I agree is
• 13:57
  a Christmas movie, but it is like a full-fledged Christmas
• 14:00
  movie. I can't recommend it enough.
• 14:02
  I think it's the best Paul Giamatti is amazing in it.
• 14:04
  It's like old school, just like a they're staying at the school.
• 14:08
  Alexander Payne's director, highly recommend.
• 14:10
  Like you guys, you got to watch it.
• 14:13
  I feel like it's a new classic and I watched it by myself the
• 14:15
  first time a couple years ago. Then this weekend I watched it
• 14:18
  with my son and my wife. I was like, you have to watch
• 14:21
  this movie. I bought it on Blu-ray.
• 14:23
  That's how like much I love this movie.
• 14:25
  Yes, I'm I swear you have to watch it if you don't like it.
• 14:28
  I don't like it. Now, yeah, I'm going to go find
• 14:31
  it. I'm going to.
• 14:32
  It's so real. I'm gonna follow your your lead
• 14:35
  here and I've suggested this movie to you guys before and I
• 14:39
  think it's a little bit about it's I'm partial to it because
• 14:44
  it reminds me of some nights that we've had before and I.
• 14:48
  Know where you're going. Love the movie The Night Before.
• 14:52
  Like a little bit more obscure. It's a Seth Rogen movie.
• 14:54
  It's stupid. It's just like vintage Seth
• 14:57
  Rogen. It's got all the crazy parts.
• 15:01
  Him and his buddies go out the night before Christmas searching
• 15:03
  for a big party and it's it's fantastic.
• 15:07
  I'm a soccer I. Like any Seth Rogen shit.
• 15:09
  Like honestly I always like Seth Rogen stuff.
• 15:11
  He cracks me up. Oh you, you can't go wrong.
• 15:14
  I don't love Joseph Gordon Levitt, but it's a great.
• 15:18
  He fits the role. He he fits it.
• 15:21
  I haven't watched that one in a while.
• 15:22
  I think I watched it like the first one one time.
• 15:24
  I gotta check that out again my. Wife loves throwing that on
• 15:27
  Thanksgiving night. That's like her thing.
• 15:29
  She's always like, we have to watch this one on.
• 15:31
  I'm like, OK, well, that's. I like that's still on.
• 15:33
  Awesome to watch list for before Christmas right now, yeah.
• 15:38
  If this is a draft, it's back around to you, Mikey.
• 15:40
  Yeah, what do you got? Unless it's a snake draft.
• 15:43
  Oh, sorry, Snake. We can go Snake.
• 15:44
  We can go Snake. Let's go.
• 15:47
  Let's. Go, let's go, snake.
• 15:48
  I'm always watching ELF. So that's.
• 15:51
  That's a must. I mean, if we're going to.
• 15:54
  Yep. I love the music.
• 15:57
  Yeah, Matt, what about you throw another one out there.
• 16:01
  Our household is the Santa Claus the 1st.
• 16:05
  Day. We we ran through 1-2 and three
• 16:08
  boys loved all three of them. They get a little, you know,
• 16:11
  just like like, yeah, three's a little corny, but you know, when
• 16:14
  you have younger kids, I feel like they you can get away with
• 16:17
  the cheesiness and enjoy it. A.
• 16:18
  Little bit and the second one is like the worst man.
• 16:24
  Oh. Man.
• 16:26
  All right, what do you got? Jim, Oh my God.
• 16:29
  I'm my dad is Santa. I can't tell anybody.
• 16:31
  Since I have a pick in front of Nick, I'm going to steal his
• 16:34
  pick. I knew it, Muppet Christmas
• 16:36
  Carol, because you would have taken that, right?
• 16:38
  But yeah. That was my next one.
• 16:40
  It's good. I'm sorry.
• 16:41
  So you're going to have to do something else.
• 16:43
  Is that your favorite Muppets movie?
• 16:45
  That is not. The music is so good.
• 16:48
  Michael Keane, Michael Caine should win like an Oscar for his
• 16:51
  role in that movie. So good.
• 16:53
  My wife is very like has like likes tradition and this is like
• 16:59
  be it turned into before we had kids this was our Christmas Eve
• 17:03
  movie. So now it like kills me all
• 17:06
  holiday season. I can't watch this movie until
• 17:08
  Christmas Eve. I need it in my veins right now.
• 17:12
  So it's. That's.
• 17:13
  A. That's a.
• 17:13
  Dilemma. It must be awesome when it's
• 17:15
  finally Christmas Eve. It is it is fan.
• 17:17
  Music's so good too. What's Marley and?
• 17:20
  Mom Oh, music's perfect. It came out right after Jim
• 17:23
  Henson and passed away, so it's got a little special part.
• 17:26
  Plus, you know, there's like, there's like 50 different movie
• 17:29
  versions of A Christmas Carol and this is one of them.
• 17:33
  And it's, it's, it's the best one, like considered by like,
• 17:36
  you know, maybe everybody like it's so good.
• 17:39
  Speaking before we go to to Matt.
• 17:42
  Speaking of. Wait, Nick's still a?
• 17:44
  Pick Nick's. Still a pick even though I stole
• 17:47
  a pick. Another take on the Christmas
• 17:50
  Carol, recently spirited, is also really.
• 17:54
  Good. That is a good.
• 17:55
  Movie Will Ferrell and Ryan. Reynolds a lot of catchy music.
• 17:58
  I haven't seen that one. Oh, it's great.
• 18:01
  So since you took Muppet Christmas Carol, I'll go with a
• 18:03
  deeper dive. And it is the Muppet Family
• 18:06
  Christmas. I had this on VHS as a kid.
• 18:09
  You can find it on YouTube in all its glory.
• 18:12
  It's a little grainy but it is good.
• 18:14
  It features. Muppets.
• 18:16
  Sesame Street characters and Fraggles and they all get stuck
• 18:19
  at Fozzie Bears moms house on Christmas.
• 18:23
  It's Go Watch. It 45 minutes.
• 18:26
  Is that the where the running gag is like they all slip on the
• 18:28
  ice when they come in? Yeah, so good.
• 18:31
  It's like a 45 minute thing too, you know?
• 18:33
  I love, I do love that you had a backup Muppet in your pocket
• 18:36
  though. I have to.
• 18:37
  I have to. Fantastic.
• 18:37
  It's like every year I come out with every year I, I throw you
• 18:42
  guys and any family members and anybody really that wants to
• 18:45
  listen to silly Spotify. Yeah, my Uncle Nick's Christmas
• 18:49
  playlist. It started when my uncle, but
• 18:52
  actually we're going to get to it.
• 18:53
  And I don't want to jump the lead, but I always make sure
• 18:55
  there's a Muppet song on there from Christmas.
• 18:57
  So all right, let's let's finish this conversation off one more
• 19:00
  Christmas movie from everybody Miguele.
• 19:04
  Oh, back to me already. Yo, yeah.
• 19:06
  Finish the order I just dropped spirited down.
• 19:11
  All right, Spirited. Excellent.
• 19:12
  Yeah, my boys. OK, so wait, I'm gonna, I'm
• 19:15
  gonna, there's a reprise at the end where they, they sing the
• 19:18
  song and it's like kind of like really cheesy.
• 19:22
  This the music's fantastic, though.
• 19:25
  And, and, and Will Ferrell during the song, he gives my, my
• 19:29
  boys somehow listen to this song and they love it.
• 19:32
  It's like probably their favorite Christmas song of all
• 19:34
  time, I would say. And Will Ferrell's like like an
• 19:37
  older version of himself and he's giving the finger to the
• 19:40
  screen. And my seven and five year old
• 19:42
  think it's the most hilarious thing in the world.
• 19:44
  Good. Afternoon and watch the movie.
• 19:46
  They're like, can I do it? Can I do it?
• 19:52
  We we haven't talked about the Grinch.
• 19:54
  There's I'm partial to the original, but there are now
• 19:57
  three really good versions in my eyes.
• 19:59
  The original the 2000 Jim Carrey.
• 20:02
  That one's crazy too. It's awesome.
• 20:05
  And then the 20181, the animated one, I love that one.
• 20:09
  Really, really good, and we'll talk about it a little bit
• 20:12
  later. Nick's not burying the lead
• 20:14
  either with music, but the music on that is phenomenal.
• 20:17
  But we'll talk about that. My son is a huge fan of the the
• 20:21
  20181. Is that the one when it is?
• 20:23
  Yeah, to the point where like he asked for the DVD for like, you
• 20:26
  know, for Christmas or something like all right, game on my last
• 20:30
  pick. I'm going to go from the bucket
• 20:32
  of like the off brand ones, like the die hard bucket.
• 20:34
  I'll call it Gremlins is in there too.
• 20:36
  If you don't gremlins more real Christmas movie Batman returns.
• 20:40
  How about that? It is there's a giant Christmas
• 20:43
  tree in the beginning. There's clowns jumping out of
• 20:46
  it. There's snow constantly, right.
• 20:48
  I feel like that's like people don't talk people talk about die
• 20:51
  hard all the time. That's like a classic.
• 20:52
  I don't know 20 year debate at this point, but like Batman
• 20:55
  Returns, come on. So love it.
• 20:57
  I'm closing us out with Rudolph because I didn't love that
• 21:01
  claymation. Claymation.
• 21:04
  Oh my gosh, it's wonderful. Notice the things that were not
• 21:07
  on our list. Christmas story was number 1 was
• 21:10
  not on there. I know that that's a big talking
• 21:13
  point. Especially now that's you know
• 21:15
  what we we had a workgrate. Deal.
• 21:17
  Me and Mikey Workgrate had a handshake deal before this that
• 21:20
  we would not mention it because we would it would come to blows
• 21:22
  so. I I didn't have that handshake
• 21:24
  deal and it's Christmas. Man, come on, we.
• 21:27
  Were talking about National Lampoon's either, that's not on
• 21:30
  here too. You know, I've, I've like having
• 21:35
  young children right now have taken over my Christmas
• 21:38
  watching. So it's like they don't, they
• 21:40
  can't wrap their heads around National Lampoon's yet.
• 21:43
  But I do throw it on every year, like in the background.
• 21:46
  And I I love that movie. Jim and his brother Brian were
• 21:49
  the ones that introduced that to me as kids.
• 21:52
  What hooked to me when I was a kid was the sled scene.
• 21:55
  Show them just that. Yes, and then you'll kind of
• 21:58
  that. Like I the first time I saw that
• 22:00
  I'd always have laughed harder in my life previously to that
• 22:03
  moment I lost my shit. Our household is in a really
• 22:07
  tough spot this holiday season. My 12 year old is completely,
• 22:11
  yeah, completely has no interest in sitting down and watching a
• 22:14
  holiday with her brother and her parents.
• 22:17
  And my 9 year old is, is, is is is attached to other screens,
• 22:22
  unfortunately. And we're like, try them away
• 22:25
  and just putting and then usually just ends up with my
• 22:28
  wife and I watching it by ourselves.
• 22:29
  Yeah. Nothing wrong with that.
• 22:32
  It's such. His life.
• 22:33
  We always hit the classics too. It's a wonderful life.
• 22:36
  I I don't know why I love, I absolutely love that movie.
• 22:40
  Maybe Number? 1.
• 22:41
  We've gotten sappy enough. So on the 10th day of Christmas,
• 22:45
  none of us listed this this movie.
• 22:47
  So on the 10th day of Christmas, I've got one that's going to
• 22:49
  enter your your top three Christmas movies.
• 22:52
  Maybe, maybe not. On the 10th day of Christmas,
• 22:56
  extra Cooler gave to me Santa's sleigh.
• 23:00
  So when we last. Before, not for the kiddos.
• 23:04
  Not for the kids, not for anybody really ready.
• 23:07
  So if we had a YouTube version of this show, I wanted to ask
• 23:11
  right now, raise your hand if you've seen this movie in its
• 23:14
  entirety. All right, so Matt is raising
• 23:16
  his hand right now. Matt, I don't want to give you
• 23:20
  PTSD. But for this holiday episode,
• 23:22
  we're taking a look at the dinner scene from Goldberg's
• 23:26
  holiday hit movie Santa's Sleigh.
• 23:29
  Wait, who? Goldberg or Bill?
• 23:30
  Bill Goldberg. Bill Goldberg So we were we were
• 23:34
  trying to actually figure out what we were going to cover for
• 23:37
  this episode. We threw around a few movies to
• 23:39
  cover in depth. And then Mike, it was I, I
• 23:44
  remember it so clearly because I had just come home from work and
• 23:48
  Mike sent us a clip on YouTube and he goes, watch this clip and
• 23:53
  tell me you don't laugh. Like tell me it's not the most
• 23:56
  ridiculous thing. Like, and and this sums up like
• 24:01
  our friendship because our whole life has been filled with Mike
• 24:05
  throwing things our way and saying like, watch this and tell
• 24:09
  us that it doesn't make you laugh.
• 24:10
  And it's just, it's the best. So anyway, Matt, sorry for the
• 24:14
  PTSD. Give us a little bit of a.
• 24:17
  Mikey had this back in the day, like he if we had it on tape, he
• 24:20
  would've been like rewind it like.
• 24:22
  Did you rewind? It rewind it.
• 24:24
  I recently my son my my second grade said to me, rewind it,
• 24:28
  rewind that so I can see it again.
• 24:30
  And I was like. Oh no.
• 24:33
  Talk about talk about PSD. There are two people, Mike and
• 24:36
  Jim's brother Brian, who used to notoriously rewind things in
• 24:40
  movies multiple times. But anyway, Matt, back to you.
• 24:45
  You watched this movie already? Couple years ago, I think it was
• 24:48
  2023, I think I got COVID right before Christmas and it was
• 24:55
  friggin ruined. So anyway, I think there's a.
• 24:58
  Messed up you tortured yourself by watching this.
• 25:00
  I was in my basement, like on an air mattress for days by myself
• 25:04
  so nobody else would get sick for Christmas.
• 25:06
  And I'm sitting there and I was like, you know what?
• 25:09
  Screw it. And I turned on Santa's sleigh.
• 25:12
  And I also watched Violent Night, which I actually enjoyed.
• 25:15
  I thought that one was pretty good, but this this scene is
• 25:20
  absolutely ridiculous and it's before the opening credits.
• 25:24
  This is how the movie. Really.
• 25:26
  Yeah. Yes.
• 25:27
  No. Title at the end it has the
• 25:29
  title right I. Caught that but I didn't know if
• 25:31
  that was just like some edit or something that a fan put in
• 25:34
  there. This company was hot
• 25:35
  legitimately the start of the movie.
• 25:38
  The the YouTube clip that we have there, we can post it in
• 25:40
  the discord if you have any interest in in going in and
• 25:43
  watching it. But there is this, let's call it
• 25:47
  affluent family, maybe spoiled family, but it's pretty
• 25:51
  star-studded here. You've got James Caan, who's the
• 25:53
  father. You have Fran Drescher, who is
• 25:55
  the mother. And then you know, the we're
• 25:58
  what we're missing kind of throws things off a little bit.
• 26:00
  But Chris Kattan is in there, Rebecca Gayhart's in there.
• 26:04
  And then? That's the Noxzema girl, right?
• 26:06
  Noxzema girl. You guys are much better with
• 26:08
  names than I am. But anyway, they're sitting
• 26:10
  there and they're arguing about, you know, how bad things are and
• 26:13
  they know there's, you know, people talking about.
• 26:16
  And this isn't necessarily in the scene that we'll have in the
• 26:18
  YouTube, but in the YouTube clip.
• 26:20
  But they're like, oh, I hope I get a Prada bag for Christmas or
• 26:23
  I hope I get this. I hope you get that.
• 26:25
  Dad is complaining about the dried Turkey and whatever.
• 26:28
  And then all of a sudden you hear Santa coming down or
• 26:31
  something coming down the chimney and the chimney bricks
• 26:35
  break away. And here's Bill Goldberg dressed
• 26:38
  as Santa, beard and all. And he comes in, He has the dog
• 26:43
  that's up. Wait.
• 26:44
  Can you play the sable sound effect for Goldberg pumps down
• 26:48
  the? The dog is barking at him and
• 26:55
  then he sets the tone immediately as he punches the
• 26:58
  dog, hits the ceiling fan and the dog goes crashing into the
• 27:02
  fireplace at this point. Wait, the bricks are like the
• 27:05
  bricks are like foam blocks spray painted grey, by the way.
• 27:10
  It's not. Bill Goldberg goes on to kill
• 27:13
  every single one of the family members that is sitting at the
• 27:16
  table, which I have blow by blow breakdown.
• 27:22
  He somersaults across the dinner table that everyone's sitting at
• 27:25
  wielding 2 knives, and he jabs them through James Khan's hands
• 27:29
  now securing him or locking him essentially to the table as he
• 27:33
  then continues to. Go around and wait.
• 27:35
  Meanwhile, James Khan is making like the same facial expressions
• 27:38
  he does in like Elf, right? Yes, and he's doing the same
• 27:41
  shtick. He's like.
• 27:42
  This is like right around the same time as ELF came out,
• 27:45
  right? This is maybe.
• 27:46
  That's how we got your job. They saw this.
• 27:52
  He has like a pencil thin like mustache as well.
• 27:55
  I didn't. Notice that.
• 27:57
  James Yeah. Oh.
• 27:58
  Yeah, that's the difference, so. One of the kids fits and falls
• 28:02
  back in her chair and the dog has this really bougie.
• 28:06
  It fits because Santa hold on. Santa takes two sides and stabs
• 28:10
  them through James Caan's hands. Right.
• 28:13
  Oh. Sorry, I'm sorry.
• 28:16
  Why does? Why does Santa?
• 28:17
  Size. Why does Santa look like a
• 28:20
  glowing son of groin from The Hobbit too?
• 28:22
  He's like his facial hair. Yes, it's got like elf.
• 28:27
  Not an elf. Sorry, dwarf.
• 28:29
  A dwarf. Yes, the face is exact.
• 28:32
  I knew it. Yeah, I knew it.
• 28:33
  He looked familiar. He's more shyer than North Pole
• 28:36
  for some strength. Maybe not the shyer, but you
• 28:38
  know what I mean. Sorry.
• 28:40
  So one of the kids feeds, falls back in her chair and impales
• 28:44
  her throat on the dog bed that is really like, it looks like a
• 28:48
  bed with four corner posts and it's it's bizarre and she's
• 28:51
  she's gone. Then Goldberg picks up a bottle
• 28:58
  of booze, takes a big old swig, takes out a lighter and blows
• 29:02
  the flames. Imagine Ricky the Dragon
• 29:05
  Steamboat. Like.
• 29:08
  Earning Fran Drescher's hair. At this point, her hair is
• 29:12
  engulfed into flames, because think about how much Hairspray
• 29:15
  is already in that. It just poof, goes right up.
• 29:17
  She's screaming all over the place.
• 29:19
  She's not good yet. Yeah, I mean.
• 29:21
  Only a way that Fran Drescher could, by the way.
• 29:26
  I I brought that you want to listen to it.
• 29:28
  Let's listen. Oh please.
• 29:30
  Santa. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa
• 29:34
  Claus. That all happens before the dog
• 29:40
  gets kicked. That's the very first thing as
• 29:42
  Goldberg comes in growling and Fran and the only way Fran can
• 29:47
  can bring a line. She brought the Fran.
• 29:50
  Santa. So now she's hair on fire,
• 29:55
  literally. And Chris Kattan steps up and
• 29:58
  he's essentially gets super kicked into the China cabinet,
• 30:01
  which I didn't think was enough to kill him, but apparently it
• 30:04
  was he. Does like the movie Stick where
• 30:06
  he's like doing all the moves and then like Goldberg just
• 30:09
  smashes them with one blow? So now Fran back to her.
• 30:14
  She is completely bald, just a couple of spare patches of hair
• 30:17
  it. Kind of looks like Cole Malone.
• 30:19
  Like Cole Malone. I was actually thinking, what's
• 30:22
  Jim Carrey's firefighter given Fire Marshall?
• 30:26
  Yeah, Fire Marshall Bill. She looks like Fire Marshall
• 30:29
  Bill here. And Goldberg comes up.
• 30:32
  Is it Gold claws, is it? Berg claws is it?
• 30:36
  I don't know. He is Jewish, That's a good
• 30:39
  call. I didn't think of that till
• 30:40
  right now. He then dunks friend Drescher's
• 30:43
  head into a punch bowl with what I imagine is eggnog.
• 30:47
  Is that the whole? Fan drown.
• 30:49
  She's gone. She did, yeah.
• 30:51
  She died. She drowned.
• 30:56
  So now let's keep going. I'll keep going.
• 30:58
  Bill then kicks out a leg of the table, but the table doesn't
• 31:01
  fall down and he busts this one chick open.
• 31:05
  Hard way, Rebecca. That's, yeah, Rebecca Gayheart,
• 31:08
  Urban legends, right? She takes the she takes the the
• 31:12
  leg of the of the table right across the forehead.
• 31:15
  She goes out in instantly like a light.
• 31:17
  And now the last one is crawling underneath the chair underneath
• 31:21
  the table as she's trying to hide and run away.
• 31:24
  Bill Goldberg takes the star off of the tree and uses it like a
• 31:28
  ninja star and throws it directly into the back of the
• 31:31
  last woman and then he goes and finishes off the job by taking
• 31:35
  out James Caan. Does anyone remember how James
• 31:38
  Caan went out? Yes, hit me with the next
• 31:40
  season. He's got the Turkey leg in his
• 31:43
  mouth, right, shoves the Turkey leg in the drumstick in his
• 31:47
  mouth and then slams his head on the table.
• 31:50
  And at that moment, and now I realize why this was the
• 31:53
  beginning before the opening credits, because, you know, you
• 31:56
  couldn't show that gruesomeness, but.
• 31:58
  That's a black. Now that I know that this is the
• 32:01
  opening, I'm kind of sold. That's what I was telling you.
• 32:06
  You thought this was the the middle of the movie.
• 32:09
  This happened and I'm trying to figure out the premise like but
• 32:12
  now I'm like where does this movie go from here?
• 32:16
  And. I hate Bill Goldberg.
• 32:17
  What would what would Bret Hart say if he was watching Bill?
• 32:21
  Goldberg, Bill Goldberg Bill Goldberg Actor Bill Goldberg.
• 32:26
  I'm the most handsome man on the earth.
• 32:28
  You've gotten small. Can we get a crossover between,
• 32:32
  well, you know what? I'll wait till we get there with
• 32:34
  the Hogan bit, the Hogan, Goldberg, you know, clash of
• 32:37
  those Santas. We can talk about that later
• 32:40
  though. I say go to the. 9th day of
• 32:42
  Christmas, because that's Goldberg related too.
• 32:44
  Yeah, so. I was before I was going to go
• 32:46
  there. I was going to say, tell me how
• 32:47
  old you are without tell without telling me.
• 32:51
  We referred to her as the Noxzema chick, one of the Rod
• 32:54
  Noxzema girls. So Noxzema girl.
• 32:55
  Yeah, you go figure out how old we are.
• 32:57
  Anyway, on the 9th day of Christmas, extra cooler gave to
• 33:00
  me a Bill Goldberg Christmas ornament.
• 33:04
  All right, so again, this actually is from last year.
• 33:08
  Matt just put it up on the screen.
• 33:10
  This is from last year when we were trying to figure out our
• 33:13
  Christmas episode, which I'll let you know what that is a
• 33:16
  little later. And we hopped on one of our go
• 33:21
  to websites, which is wrestle crap.
• 33:22
  And it's been a go to website for years now.
• 33:26
  So I can't claim credit for this, but this is a gift that
• 33:30
  I'd like to give you if I could replicate this for all.
• 33:32
  Three of you. This is a a.
• 33:36
  A Christmas ornament, OK, of Goldberg, right?
• 33:40
  And he is sitting on a chair and he's got his like classic
• 33:45
  Goldberg gloves on with the, you know, the padded gloves.
• 33:48
  He's got a Santa hat on. His legs are spread wide open
• 33:53
  and his feet are on the floor. He's wearing Santa boots.
• 33:56
  He's wearing nothing else. He's got a Santa hat, gloves and
• 33:59
  Santa boots. It's almost like someone forgot
• 34:02
  to paint this ornament. But.
• 34:05
  But sitting between his legs is a gigantic sack of toys, all
• 34:13
  right? And it's just dangling there
• 34:16
  between his legs. Dangling once.
• 34:18
  And there's gifts falling out of the sack and it is the sickest
• 34:23
  thing, you know that like, And when did it come out the the
• 34:26
  meme of the guy sitting on the bed with his dog?
• 34:29
  That's exactly what it's like. It's giving the.
• 34:31
  Same energy. Same energy.
• 34:34
  I don't know how many of these there were.
• 34:37
  I don't know if someone custom made it.
• 34:38
  Oh, he does have the iconic Bill Goldberg like.
• 34:41
  Shoulder. Yeah, it is truly the most
• 34:46
  bizarre thing. Again, we're going to post it in
• 34:48
  the Discord so that everybody can see this thing in all its
• 34:51
  glory. We start a GoFundMe so we can
• 34:54
  get a lot of money to like, mass produce them and send them to
• 34:56
  Bret Hart. Oh yeah, hey, I got another Bill
• 35:02
  Goldberg in the mail. Honey, what's that?
• 35:07
  Yeah, you got another Bill Goldberg ornament.
• 35:09
  Another bill, Bill Goldberg sack.
• 35:14
  Again. Why?
• 35:15
  Saskatchewan. Bill Goldberg is is famously
• 35:18
  Jewish. This is interesting that yeah,
• 35:21
  that's what they're choosing here.
• 35:22
  But hey, WCW. Hey, it is.
• 35:24
  It's so the funniest part is like he's got like the gloves
• 35:28
  on, like the fighting gloves, but no pants.
• 35:35
  Yeah. And he's like sitting there in
• 35:36
  this like perverse position, like in the chair, like he's,
• 35:41
  I'm not going to go there anyway.
• 35:42
  That's. A That's another chalk line,
• 35:44
  Jack. Holy shit, guys, I just went on
• 35:47
  eBay and I searched Bill Goldberg Christmas Party.
• 35:51
  There's actually more of them. So there's a Hollywood Hogan
• 35:54
  one. There's actually 2 Hollywood
• 35:56
  Hogan. Dressed Hogan just doing his
• 35:59
  mustache and bandana. He's bending over the other one
• 36:02
  or something like that. These are.
• 36:03
  Still mint on cards. These are still in the box.
• 36:07
  So it has the naked Goldberg it has and this four pack is $6465.
• 36:13
  Ornament. Not bad deal.
• 36:14
  No, not too bad. It looks like Hogan.
• 36:23
  Hollywood Hogan is in there twice, and Kevin Nash is the
• 36:27
  third one. So there's one Hollywood Hogan.
• 36:29
  He has a Santa sack over his shoulder.
• 36:31
  He's wearing a Santa vest and he's holding up a teddy bear.
• 36:36
  There's another Hollywood Hogan where he is holding 2 packages,
• 36:41
  but it almost looks like he's playing the accordion.
• 36:43
  It's a little strange, a little hard to see.
• 36:45
  And then the last one is Kevin Nash in a singlet who is 1 foot
• 36:49
  out of a chimney and the other foot in the chimney looks really
• 36:53
  bizarre. I will send you all the link
• 36:55
  right now and I will also post the link to Discord.
• 36:59
  How much does that cost? Like 40 bucks.
• 37:01
  It was $65 on eBay right now. Not a bad deal.
• 37:04
  Yeah, for four. Yeah, I think.
• 37:05
  We could put that for four. Exactly, Jeff.
• 37:07
  And and you get you should get one.
• 37:10
  Come on, we'll draft them. Draft the ornaments.
• 37:14
  Oh, Mike. Does naked Goldberg go to the
• 37:16
  winner or the loser? I feel like it has to go to the
• 37:18
  winner it. Has to go to Nick.
• 37:20
  Has to go to the Wiener Bill Goldberg on the eighth day of
• 37:24
  Christmas. Extra cooler gave to me.
• 37:26
  What's in everybody's cooler this week?
• 37:31
  I have mad I didn't bring anything festive.
• 37:34
  I know what Jimmy does. I first got a festive gland.
• 37:37
  I'm also wearing my Gremlin sweater.
• 37:38
  You can't really see it. Here, that's beautiful.
• 37:41
  It's a great one. There's Gizmo Grizzmo right
• 37:43
  there. Yeah.
• 37:45
  And so I have an eggnog and know what I mix with it.
• 37:48
  Screwball. The peanut butter whiskey.
• 37:50
  Pretty good. Got to say.
• 37:52
  That sounds pretty good. It's peanut butter eggnog.
• 37:55
  I'm into it. Yeah, although my mouth feels
• 37:59
  very, it's like too much dairy right now, you know what I mean?
• 38:02
  Oh yeah, Yeah, you can be going. One glass of that do you do?
• 38:06
  Flavored eggnog? You ever do the like vanilla
• 38:09
  flavored eggnog? I kind of like that one.
• 38:11
  We have our local place here, the pits for dairy and it's like
• 38:14
  they're the eggnog is. Whatever, it is so good.
• 38:17
  It's just like, it's the best. Yeah, that's.
• 38:20
  For dairy is phenomenal, absolutely phenomenal.
• 38:23
  I just found, I just found another.
• 38:26
  I know it's off topic, but I just found another, you know,
• 38:28
  open box of this Bill Goldberg ornament does have red trunks on
• 38:34
  because some people host this side view $15 + 515 shipping.
• 38:38
  You can get it by Friday, December 26th if you order now.
• 38:42
  Might believe that tree up a little longer.
• 38:44
  I bet you it's more valuable the ones where he has no pants.
• 38:49
  Obviously, right Bill Goldberg. Someone painted on his pants and
• 38:51
  like, the value just dropped, you know?
• 38:54
  Exponentially. So it's it's holiday season.
• 38:57
  I felt like I'd take a risk and here I am with a little bit of
• 38:59
  Scotch. So cheers.
• 39:01
  I've got some Belgium 12 years. So I figured that would may be
• 39:04
  good for me being a little under the weather, maybe it'd help the
• 39:07
  cough a little bit. So cheers boys.
• 39:10
  Hell yeah, I'm a bit. I'm a major proponent of whiskey
• 39:13
  when you're sick. Yeah, counterintuitive, but
• 39:16
  sometimes it burns it off. That's my.
• 39:18
  Like terrible signs? Depends.
• 39:20
  Yeah. I've really struggled through
• 39:22
  work this week, talking as much as I need to and coughing a
• 39:26
  whole lot. I've done a lot of apologizing
• 39:27
  and I've been OK. And I'm going to blame the
• 39:29
  whiskey. Yeah, burn it.
• 39:31
  Burn. Grandpa's little cough medicine.
• 39:33
  Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
• 39:34
  What do you got there? Maggle.
• 39:36
  Maggle. Word.
• 39:37
  Sugarless wine. Hold on, Mike.
• 39:41
  I've found something for you. I have a special gift.
• 39:43
  If you have type 2 diabetes like I have, you're confronted with
• 39:46
  choices. Thank.
• 39:48
  You. Thank you.
• 39:51
  That's exactly what I've been going for.
• 39:55
  Diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes
• 39:58
  like. Yeah, if you have type 2
• 40:04
  diabetes, like Maggle like. Drink.
• 40:09
  Just splice that in there. Splice a little JBL.
• 40:11
  If Tom were here, you could send him some of that as like, if we
• 40:15
  were doing a Secret Santa. I mean, that's like the easiest
• 40:17
  thing. Oh.
• 40:18
  Man, right he is. He is obsessed with the idea of
• 40:21
  this sugarless wine. He's even made an appearance on
• 40:24
  the Discord, which never happens because Boomer.
• 40:28
  He's Boomer. Yeah, there you go.
• 40:29
  We got him. Two diabetes.
• 40:32
  We got him. We we got them.
• 40:35
  Oh man. As as usual, I have some
• 40:39
  tequila. It's in a festive glass.
• 40:42
  I wasn't brave enough. Sugarless tequila.
• 40:44
  It is not sugarless tequila, but it's good.
• 40:49
  It's delicious. So thank you.
• 40:53
  Sorry, there's thank you multiple drops for us now.
• 40:56
  I, I it's a Christmas episode, it's got to be all the drops.
• 41:00
  Speaking of these wonderful drops, we started talking about
• 41:03
  it a little bit earlier on the 7th day of Christmas Extra
• 41:06
  cooler gave to me your favorite Christmas song and and version.
• 41:13
  Do you have 1? So I, I, you know what I'm going
• 41:16
  to post it in discord. I'm going to even post it on my
• 41:18
  Instagram every year. I'll, I'll take a step back.
• 41:21
  I probably said this on another episode.
• 41:23
  If so, screw you. We're 198 episodes in.
• 41:28
  And quite frankly, I forgot. My uncle used to He worked in
• 41:32
  advertising and every year it started off with a cassette and
• 41:37
  then it turned into ACD. And this man is an incredible
• 41:42
  writer and he would take every like important, every person or
• 41:48
  family that he would send this CD or cassette to.
• 41:52
  He would start off with like a Christmas story, like his
• 41:56
  version of The Night Before Christmas, for example.
• 41:59
  And he would run through like everybody.
• 42:01
  And you would, you would hit play on the CD or cassette and
• 42:04
  you would wait to hear, like me and my sisters especially would
• 42:08
  wait to hear how he dropped our names on this.
• 42:12
  And it was the coolest thing. And he had such a, he has such a
• 42:16
  smooth voice. He doesn't do it anymore.
• 42:19
  But anyway, this is my like ode to him.
• 42:22
  And I always joke that with my sister that I would start this
• 42:27
  when, you know, when I became an uncle.
• 42:29
  So sure enough, I I became an uncle back in my sister was
• 42:33
  expecting in 2013. So that's when I started them.
• 42:36
  So every year I've been putting out a Spotify playlist of about
• 42:39
  like 20 Christmas songs. Some are random, some are
• 42:42
  classic. So I'll post them in the
• 42:43
  discord. So anyway, go to Christmas.
• 42:47
  Favorite song and version? Who's got one?
• 42:51
  1st that's a beautiful story. Thank you, I love it.
• 42:54
  Thank you. It's like, you know, that's what
• 42:57
  you think of and I love that it's Christmas for you, right?
• 43:00
  Like you always think of Christmas when you're a kid,
• 43:03
  right? And you think of the what your
• 43:04
  role models? Your parents?
• 43:06
  Your uncles and things you look forward to.
• 43:07
  Yeah, exactly. And now and I love that you like
• 43:11
  I do. I feel like the same way about
• 43:12
  it. I want to be like that uncle
• 43:14
  that day, you know? So it's I love it.
• 43:16
  Beautiful story. So song.
• 43:18
  Song and a Virgin is what I'd prefer.
• 43:21
  I, I have a lot of like my favorite Christmas albums on
• 43:25
  vinyl, so I'm trying to think of like, what do I grab first?
• 43:28
  What up like if I could have just if I could keep one of
• 43:30
  those and I the Frank Sinatra like one of those albums.
• 43:35
  Hell yeah. And so like those that's like
• 43:37
  Christmas for me because it's kind of to your point, Nick,
• 43:39
  like it makes me think of when I was a kid, you know, my, my like
• 43:43
  my grandparents playing that kind of music and stuff like
• 43:45
  that. My parents of course, too.
• 43:46
  And it gets passed down like that.
• 43:48
  And it's that's so that's my favorite.
• 43:49
  So I love, I like the really sad ones, honestly.
• 43:51
  I like have yourself. Yeah, have yourself a merry
• 43:54
  little Christmas and I'll be home for Christmas.
• 43:56
  They're like, so like sad and wistful.
• 43:58
  It's just beautiful. Like almost like brings me to
• 44:01
  tears. Sadly, you know, I'll, I'm happy
• 44:02
  to admit that like the first night you decorate the tree,
• 44:05
  you're playing a songs like that and you just think about all the
• 44:08
  Christmas past. It's just like, that's the whole
• 44:11
  point, right? So those are my songs.
• 44:13
  What? Do you guys got?
• 44:17
  Can I do what Jim did and steal Nick's answer?
• 44:20
  Because it's true in my household too.
• 44:22
  The vinyl, that was always the first one out-of-the-box for us
• 44:26
  at holiday time, at decorating the tree.
• 44:29
  Every single time we decorated the tree that John Denver and
• 44:32
  The Muppets album came out. It was on vinyl.
• 44:35
  Put it on the record player and it was a Christmas together,
• 44:39
  which is John Denver and The Muppets.
• 44:42
  But the specific song is all about the but, and it comes on
• 44:48
  the, you know, the 9th day of Christmas.
• 44:51
  Ironically, we're up to seven. But anyway, the 12 days of this
• 44:54
  The Muppets version with John Denver.
• 44:55
  It is quintessential Christmas tree decorating music it.
• 45:00
  Happens, but we love it. Yes.
• 45:02
  No longer on vinyl, but we just fire up that Spotify and there
• 45:05
  you go. Hell yeah.
• 45:06
  Easily. I could see.
• 45:07
  I could. I could see that album cover in
• 45:08
  my head. He's like his face center right.
• 45:11
  Yes. Easily my favorite 12 days of
• 45:14
  Christmas version. Easily and my favorite.
• 45:18
  My favorite day is 9 because my favorite muppet is Beaker and I
• 45:23
  love it when he goes me. Me, me, me, me, me.
• 45:27
  It's hilarious, it's so good. What would you put as yours,
• 45:31
  Mike? Yeah, You know, I, I also grew
• 45:35
  up, my grandma loved Frank Sinatra.
• 45:36
  She was like obsessed with him. So I, I love all like the old
• 45:40
  like Sinatra songs and, and like, you know, Dean Martin and
• 45:46
  you know, all those like old Italian guys.
• 45:49
  But I do have to say I'm, I'm going to go different here and,
• 45:54
  and say my favorite Christmas song is Band-Aid.
• 46:00
  Do they know it's Christmas? Hell yeah.
• 46:02
  That is iconic. Yeah, iconic.
• 46:06
  I think that was my first favorite song period, that like
• 46:09
  Sue Studio by Phil Collins. It was like my earliest memories
• 46:13
  of dancing to music and like, I wouldn't like I would freak out
• 46:16
  for Band-Aid. Yo, how?
• 46:17
  Can hell? Not soon as you hear that
• 46:19
  opening bit. When we were on.
• 46:22
  You know, instantly. When we were going to bars like
• 46:25
  in our like early 20s and all through our 20s, I would go to
• 46:29
  the jukebox, play Band-Aid. Right around this time.
• 46:32
  Band-Aid would be like my first request.
• 46:34
  Yo shit man, we put that on in like July, I remember.
• 46:40
  I'm I, I love me some Darlene love, but my favorite song at
• 46:45
  Christmas time is Please Come Home for Christmas and the the
• 46:50
  version I prefer is the one by the Eagles.
• 46:53
  My dad is a huge Eagles fan and I don't know why I always I
• 46:59
  always think of him when I hear that song and but I love that
• 47:02
  version so that's that's my go to.
• 47:05
  I have to squeeze in an honorable mention and it is most
• 47:09
  of these like I have a list of like honorable mention ones.
• 47:12
  All of these come from Uncle Nick's Christmas playlist.
• 47:16
  There's one in particular that I had never heard before.
• 47:18
  It's a Spotify sessions like Christmas.
• 47:20
  They did Spotify singles or whatever it was Linus and Lucy.
• 47:25
  Yeah, that's the best on by Anderson POC.
• 47:27
  That's my. Favorite.
• 47:29
  Unfrigging believable and it's the the classic Charlie Brown
• 47:32
  Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo, but it's got this like the jazzy
• 47:36
  overtones where you would expect to hear from it, but it has this
• 47:39
  hip hop style beat underneath it that just drives through the
• 47:44
  song. It is phenomenal if.
• 47:46
  I could put that on every Uncle Nick's playlist.
• 47:49
  I would. Because that's you should.
• 47:51
  Yeah, we could do it. We could do like a full blown
• 47:54
  like 7 rounds NFL draft easily. Christmas songs.
• 47:59
  Yes, I, I, I. Absolutely on the Patreon.
• 48:02
  Love me some Christmas music. There's there's people that hate
• 48:05
  it and they're like, get it off my radio.
• 48:08
  Like get out of. Here, you know, when it hits,
• 48:10
  when it hits for you, it hits for you, right?
• 48:12
  Like it could be on November 15th, or it could be, you know,
• 48:15
  December 23rd, like whatever. When it hits, it hits.
• 48:19
  So none of us listed our next day of Christmas on this.
• 48:25
  So on the 6th day of Christmas, Extra Cooler gave to me some
• 48:29
  Psycho Sid Christmas songs. Oh yeah, you, you heard that
• 48:33
  correct? Not Sid Vicious, not Sid
• 48:36
  Justice. Psycho Sid.
• 48:37
  Back in 1996, Psycho Sid did not perform these songs but.
• 48:46
  That would be funny too. There was a choir.
• 48:49
  Are you ready for it? Like, yeah, please.
• 48:51
  Just. Sit.
• 48:51
  It's coming to town. Led by.
• 49:07
  Yeah. Now the the the question is led
• 49:22
  by Freddie Blassie, by the way, he's.
• 49:24
  Conducting right he's. Conducting it and it it's he's
• 49:29
  like tell me you're listening to so happy.
• 49:32
  Yeah, you're watching what I don't even know.
• 49:35
  Superstars in December of 1996 probably.
• 49:39
  And this is happening. This is This is why we love 1996
• 49:43
  wrestling. Go back and we should have like
• 49:46
  a whole. We'll put out a playlist of our
• 49:48
  96 episodes, so it's probably a good one to listen.
• 49:50
  To the fact that they came out with this and had these guys
• 49:53
  dress up as a choir and perform this with like their books and
• 49:58
  everything. All the drop when you're
• 50:00
  sleeping. It's a big idea.
• 50:02
  It takes a lot of people to do this.
• 50:04
  Yeah, the whole choir. Psycho Sid.
• 50:07
  Now that was only 30 something seconds, but they gave you
• 50:10
  another 30 something seconds. This is Powerbomb.
• 50:14
  Wait, do you have this one? Look what you did.
• 50:35
  I'll just move into quality. Don't I flip your lid?
• 50:45
  How could they have not worked in the lyric?
• 50:48
  Jose Latario getting chucked? Because that's what happens with
• 50:51
  it. They show it, yes, while while
• 50:54
  the choir is singing, it's like this old man getting chucked
• 50:57
  from the apron. We get hit with the camera rig,
• 51:00
  right? Is that what it is?
• 51:01
  That's all it is. It's it's not even like him
• 51:05
  beating up Sean, it's him just destroying Jose Hilaria.
• 51:08
  It's old man. Vince must have been feeling
• 51:12
  very festive back then because it's something to yeah.
• 51:18
  Yeah, yeah, song. Yeah.
• 51:22
  Make a song about psycho, Sid. Why Psycho?
• 51:25
  Sid and like is he hot deal they're trying to push?
• 51:29
  I got to say Psycho Sid kind of lured me back in around the time
• 51:32
  I thought he was pretty badass. He's like power bombing
• 51:34
  everybody. He's throwing Jose.
• 51:36
  He's throwing, Jose Lithario, he's chopping.
• 51:39
  Fist bumps to everybody. Oh, look what you did.
• 51:43
  Is that what it says? Look what you did.
• 51:44
  Go and flip your lid. How cool.
• 51:47
  How cool of would have 92 Sid have been if they had discovered
• 51:52
  the Psycho Sid name earlier? He would have been a serious
• 51:55
  hill. On the 5th day of Christmas,
• 51:59
  extra cooler gave to me. We've been doing this for five
• 52:04
  years, so you know we had to throw in some cheap plugs.
• 52:09
  So I've run down. I've got a list of our our past
• 52:14
  Christmas episodes, so let's start at the the most recent and
• 52:18
  run our way down once episode 173.
• 52:22
  Last Christmas we covered WWF Superstars from December 23rd,
• 52:26
  1995. Santa Claus.
• 52:29
  Hold on, hold on, hold on hold. On the South Pole.
• 52:32
  Yes. Music.
• 52:35
  Pretty cool. Bad ass.
• 52:40
  Right, good stuff. What's that on the playlist?
• 52:45
  Yeah, that's the previous year. Episode 130 Christmas Eve on
• 52:52
  Monday Night Raw 2001 the episode before we must have been
• 52:56
  feeling really festive because episode 129 we had a holiday
• 53:01
  movie draft. Oh, that was, I was, you know, I
• 53:05
  wasn't there for that one because I had a.
• 53:07
  Movie draft. We drafted some bogus characters
• 53:10
  for Jim. But I remember listening to it
• 53:12
  on this long ass drive that it had to go on and it was so it
• 53:17
  brought joy to my drive. I was like, but you guys drafted
• 53:20
  for me, which I was, you know? We drafted for Jimmy.
• 53:23
  We did a very poor job of it. I remember drafting an elf from
• 53:26
  Lord of the Rings for you. I no respect to that though I
• 53:30
  thought that was fantastic. I commended this in the next.
• 53:33
  Draft an elf. Draft a Santa Draft.
• 53:35
  Yeah, throw to the right. What else?
• 53:37
  Is it Crazy by the way too? Episode 84 Prime Time Wrestling
• 53:43
  This was my first personal favorite Prime Time Wrestling
• 53:47
  Christmas 1989. It's basically like cutting in
• 53:52
  and out of segments with Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the Brain.
• 53:55
  Heenan and Piper's calling out like Santa Claus throughout it
• 54:01
  and he's saying that Santa's not real at one point.
• 54:04
  Gorilla is not happy about this. It's some must watch stuff, but
• 54:10
  and then our first Christmas episode was episode #35 it was
• 54:13
  the War Zone Wonderland from 1997 raw December 1997.
• 54:20
  You know it's the iconic DX with the like this.
• 54:23
  Is a good one there, yeah. They're cheeks, you know, with,
• 54:27
  with the Garland. This is the first one we did.
• 54:30
  Yes, yeah, full year later 35. Is this the one that the Usos or
• 54:36
  one of the Usos was in the episode?
• 54:39
  Might have been. Where stone cold stone Santa.
• 54:42
  Yeah, yeah, because the 2001 one that we covered was Kurt Angle
• 54:48
  putting Santa in the ankle lock, right?
• 54:50
  Yeah. Yeah, so 97 was the one with the
• 54:53
  Usos and then 49ers jacket, which I.
• 54:55
  Know, in those episodes, we always talk about how we
• 54:58
  appreciate how WF or WB, whatever it was at the time,
• 55:02
  would go the extra mile and put like the Christmas lights on the
• 55:05
  logo and stuff like that, right? Like just the graphics of the
• 55:08
  show. It was chef's kiss.
• 55:12
  Before I move on I have to throw it up but umm bum bum just
• 55:15
  because we were on the 5th day. So on the 4th day of Christmas
• 55:18
  extra schooler gave to me. Do you think the worst?
• 55:22
  The worst gift of the of the entire 12 days right here.
• 55:26
  Yes, I, I 100% and I was very disappointed in this.
• 55:31
  And actually last year or the year before, we threw around, we
• 55:35
  were looking for something and we were like, oh, this is going
• 55:38
  to be so good. We got to cover this episode.
• 55:42
  It was originally seen on Tuesday Night Titans back in
• 55:45
  1985, but it's just trashed throughout the episode of
• 55:52
  Tuesday Night Titans. But otherwise it's Rye Piper's
• 55:55
  Christmas Carol and the description of the WWE.
• 55:58
  YouTube reads the Rowdy 1 Channel's Ebenezer Scrooge in
• 56:02
  this irreverent and totally awesome take on Charles Dickens
• 56:06
  holiday classic. Originally seen Tuesday Night
• 56:09
  Titans back in 1985. We brought it from Christmas
• 56:12
  Pass here to you as an early Christmas present.
• 56:15
  God bless us everyone. We've gone from talking about
• 56:19
  one of the best Christmas Carol adaptations to the bottom of the
• 56:23
  barrel. Rowdy Pipe is almost 7 minutes
• 56:26
  of absolute now. Now mind you, there's not many
• 56:31
  times and I don't think it'll ever happen again that we've
• 56:34
  said the words and the name Roddy Piper and pure dog shit.
• 56:40
  This is really bad, really bad, and I was hoping for more.
• 56:44
  It's like the age-old tried and true story of, you know, Charles
• 56:49
  Dickens classic The Christmas Carol and Piper is in a bed.
• 56:54
  It's squeaky as hell. He's dressed in his wrestling
• 56:57
  gear with like his night cap on. It's got the four posts on and
• 57:02
  everything He's. He's a good.
• 57:05
  Guy, his old partner, yes, he does not get out of bed early.
• 57:08
  A few times he claims this guy died of smoking.
• 57:12
  And you know, it's, it's all the classic story, but it's just not
• 57:18
  good. Yeah, I know because, you know,
• 57:19
  you need them to be like visiting places and stuff like
• 57:22
  that. Like there's a lot of potential
• 57:23
  and they, I mean, to be fair, it is 1985 or whatever you said,
• 57:26
  right? Like, so they're like, they
• 57:27
  probably thought this was awesome at the time, yes.
• 57:29
  But this has returned to the Jedi by this point though, so.
• 57:34
  You have to say though, that. I'm fair enough for.
• 57:37
  For this era, WWF was actually pretty good.
• 57:40
  They had, you know, the ghosts coming in.
• 57:43
  There was smoke pillowing into the.
• 57:45
  But you know what, like, you know what I think they learned,
• 57:48
  and I think it would have made it about 100 times better, is if
• 57:53
  every ghost was a wrestler. Yes, You know, like.
• 57:57
  There's no other wrestlers in this.
• 57:59
  There's not one other wrestler. It's just like random
• 58:02
  stagehands. It's it's not good.
• 58:05
  I'm like waiting for like, are we going to get Iron Cheek or
• 58:08
  Nikolai Volkoff and. Roddy Piper doing that?
• 58:11
  Yeah. Just trying to RIP on these
• 58:13
  ghosts. And it's just it's not good.
• 58:15
  And on top of it, the man must have blown a few lines
• 58:19
  beforehand because he's dripping in sweat.
• 58:21
  If you notice it, by the end, paper has like the classic sweat
• 58:26
  mustache. Like it's just like, can this be
• 58:29
  over? Like, please.
• 58:30
  I'm sorry that I put this so far down on our gifts.
• 58:34
  What do you always call it hemmed up?
• 58:35
  He always he's the most hemmed up looking guy at all.
• 58:39
  Times I think. And then and then he has an
• 58:41
  outburst at the end when he finally gets out of bed.
• 58:44
  And let's let's at least take a listen to what it sounded like
• 58:47
  you. Want him to know why you're
• 58:49
  dead? 'Cause you wore those chains
• 58:51
  when you were alive and you were bombing your eyes.
• 58:58
  I don't care. Get out of here.
• 59:01
  Try it. Like all I kept watching is
• 59:05
  think and thinking is give me Captain Luau Bano, give me give
• 59:09
  me one of these guys of the mid 80s on here and it's, you know,
• 59:13
  100 times better. There's a bunch of guys giving
• 59:16
  Christmas wishes later in this episode, right?
• 59:18
  Like can we handful of those guys?
• 59:20
  Keep in mind, that was the best clip of the bunch of the entire
• 59:25
  6 or 7 minutes long. Oh look what I just did in the
• 59:28
  entire time. That 14 seconds of just
• 59:31
  nothingness was the best clip that I can pull out.
• 59:34
  Piper finally getting out of bed for the first time.
• 59:37
  But it is though, like it's, you know, www.wf has been put on how
• 59:42
  many hours of television through the years?
• 59:44
  Millions. I don't know what's the number
• 59:46
  at this point. I'm like, you know, yeah, most
• 59:49
  of it is of this quali, you know, like.
• 59:51
  Hyper just being right there. Come on, Matt, how many?
• 59:56
  Hours. Do you remember watching this as
• 59:58
  a child? Post in the discord please.
• 1:00:00
  Thank you. You defended on the third day of
• 1:00:04
  Christmas. Extra cooler gave to me.
• 1:00:07
  Mankind versus Santa in a boiler room brawl.
• 1:00:10
  I wish I was better at rhyming because I'm more creative here,
• 1:00:13
  but. So this segment brought to you
• 1:00:16
  by Matt again, Matt, Matt threw this one out there with rocks.
• 1:00:21
  12 days of Christmas real early, like before Thanksgiving.
• 1:00:25
  And this one, I, I enjoyed this one.
• 1:00:28
  It's a, a backstage segment of Triple H asking Stephanie to
• 1:00:31
  open up a present and inside the present is going to be who
• 1:00:34
  mankind, mankind's opponent will be.
• 1:00:38
  It's a toy Santa. Now everybody knows mankind,
• 1:00:41
  Mick Foley loves Santa Claus, loves Christmas.
• 1:00:45
  We didn't really know it so much back then, but you know, they,
• 1:00:49
  they allude to it at times. So Mankind is interviewed by
• 1:00:54
  Michael Cole at first. Then he goes into the boiler
• 1:00:58
  room and he sees Santa. He pulls them aside.
• 1:01:00
  He tells them, like, you know, why don't you just leave?
• 1:01:06
  You know you you get out of. Here, I'll turn the other way
• 1:01:09
  and you just walk out of the boiler room and you know I'll do
• 1:01:11
  the job for you, Santa, is what he says.
• 1:01:14
  Yeah, I'll do the job for you. It's, it's it, it's good stuff.
• 1:01:19
  He's you go back to the North Christmas.
• 1:01:21
  Stuff too, right? Like.
• 1:01:22
  Yes. He's like so endearing and like
• 1:01:25
  it's he's like nails the Christmas spirit.
• 1:01:27
  Mick Foley to AT not. Not nails with AZ, nails with an
• 1:01:31
  S. He turns the corner, he goes to
• 1:01:33
  leave, and he's attacked by three Santas.
• 1:01:36
  Mankind fights all three of these guys off with trash cans.
• 1:01:40
  But then he turns the corner and there's two more Santas.
• 1:01:43
  Turns out these two Santas are none other than Billy Gunn and
• 1:01:46
  the Road Dog, two members of DX, obviously sent there by Triple H
• 1:01:50
  Mankind manages to fight both of those guys off.
• 1:01:53
  I did find it kind of it. It's like classic new age
• 1:01:57
  outlaws. Like at one point Rd. dog, you
• 1:01:59
  know, does his like rubs his belly and it it's just it's
• 1:02:04
  entertaining. Then out of nowhere, he's about
• 1:02:09
  to smash a window through Billy Gunn and Triple H dressed as
• 1:02:13
  Santa Claus. We don't know it's Triple H yet
• 1:02:15
  intercepts this swings the sack of toys at the window shatters
• 1:02:20
  on mankind's face. Triple H leaves and Teddy Long,
• 1:02:23
  who's the referee at this time, declares him the winner of the
• 1:02:27
  boiler room brawl. I I really enjoyed this.
• 1:02:30
  This is the kind of stuff that like you watch on a Christmas
• 1:02:34
  episode and you're like, you know what?
• 1:02:36
  That's, that's good stuff, man. This this whole.
• 1:02:39
  Episode of Raw was actually really entertaining and it was
• 1:02:43
  the the through story was, you know, this is the McMahon
• 1:02:46
  Helmsley era and them controlling the show
• 1:02:50
  essentially. And it was Christmas themed
• 1:02:51
  throughout Christmas gifts and things like that.
• 1:02:54
  And the gift to mankind was this boiler and brawl and turns out
• 1:02:58
  to be Santa. I thought it was really well
• 1:02:59
  done this episode. We certainly could have covered
• 1:03:03
  end to end and and had fun with it.
• 1:03:05
  I love when they do the through stories well, like this or like
• 1:03:08
  some of the bachelor party or whatever Bachelorette party
• 1:03:10
  things we've seen in the past. You know, those those are when
• 1:03:13
  they nail it. It's it's funny.
• 1:03:15
  And this is, this is perfect, perfect little Christmas
• 1:03:18
  episode, you know, interlude, you know.
• 1:03:20
  Yes, and apologies that there's no drops from this because at
• 1:03:24
  this end, the second day, not to bury the lead, but they're the
• 1:03:26
  YouTube quality was just so bad that I didn't even want to put
• 1:03:29
  it on our show so. Yeah, this is like.
• 1:03:32
  And as you guys know, we I can't watch Monday Night Raw anymore
• 1:03:35
  because it's yeah. Anyway, that's that's we could
• 1:03:38
  spend a whole nother episode on that.
• 1:03:40
  So anyway, if you're looking for anything for Christmas, ask WWE
• 1:03:45
  to please figure out how they're going to allow us to stream
• 1:03:48
  things so we can continue for a few more years on this podcast.
• 1:03:52
  Or if you have old tapes, make us tapes or yeah and send it to
• 1:03:56
  us. I like it, yeah. 999 a month
• 1:03:58
  we'll pay. On the second day.
• 1:04:00
  Of Christmas. Extra Cooler is going to give to
• 1:04:03
  you to Merry Christmas from the late 1983 roster of WWF, and I
• 1:04:10
  apologize because this is, you know, you know.
• 1:04:15
  The wording from that is like really threw me off when you
• 1:04:17
  sent it to me. Oh, what am I?
• 1:04:19
  Are they all dead on here? Like here they are.
• 1:04:23
  But I was like, oh, now I just read it like, oh, the like
• 1:04:26
  November or December, like late in 1983, I was like, Oh my God,
• 1:04:30
  they're all dead. The late 1983.
• 1:04:32
  Roster. They probably are.
• 1:04:34
  Though it's sorry this thing is like 5 minutes of just like you.
• 1:04:41
  You know the scene in Billy Madison that I think we've
• 1:04:43
  referenced here many times? Like I feel Dumber for watching
• 1:04:47
  this. It's like incoherent blabbering.
• 1:04:50
  Starts off with Vince, then Freddie Blassie.
• 1:04:53
  Quality gets poor. We go to Salvatore Bellamo, who
• 1:04:57
  I don't even know who the hell this guy is.
• 1:04:59
  He's blabbering something. Pretty sure.
• 1:05:02
  Yes, most of. The guys, most of the guys
• 1:05:04
  aren't speaking English, which is fine because they translate
• 1:05:07
  themselves later. But even the guys who are
• 1:05:09
  speaking English are unintelligible.
• 1:05:11
  Like he. Like what is he saying?
• 1:05:13
  The the the next man after Salvatore is a mass.
• 1:05:16
  Superstar. What's the graphic?
• 1:05:17
  The graphic is a giant wreath and it's like their faces are
• 1:05:21
  like through the middle of the wreath.
• 1:05:22
  Yes, they're like, really? Covered up right, You can barely
• 1:05:26
  see their eyebrows. It's like they're looking
• 1:05:28
  through a telescope through the wreath or something like.
• 1:05:30
  That you've seen all these guys and I'm like, when am I going to
• 1:05:32
  get someone I know? And then here comes Tito
• 1:05:34
  Santana. Hello.
• 1:05:35
  I'm Tito Santana. No shit.
• 1:05:37
  You're Tito Santana. Says it right underneath your
• 1:05:40
  face, Dick. Yeah, he says.
• 1:05:42
  Hello. I'm Tito Santana.
• 1:05:44
  If you pay me $2.00 in Cameo, I'll talk about farts.
• 1:05:50
  Bonsai. Mr. Fuji's next Again, you can
• 1:05:53
  barely see any of these guys. Bob Backlund.
• 1:05:56
  No, no, no, no. We cannot move on, yet you want
• 1:05:59
  to. Go back to Fuji.
• 1:06:00
  Mr. Fuji is absolutely unfucking hinged.
• 1:06:04
  I'm sorry. He does say he.
• 1:06:06
  Does say crazy? He really is he.
• 1:06:08
  Has some bizarre shit that I wish I could figure out 100%
• 1:06:12
  what it is. He's saying that he's saying
• 1:06:14
  Merry Christmas to everyone, to every American, especially
• 1:06:18
  Japanese Americans. And then he comes in and he says
• 1:06:21
  that he wants lots of American geisha girls.
• 1:06:24
  And then he some says something that is he wants lots of
• 1:06:29
  something. I don't know, I don't have it.
• 1:06:33
  It. It was so bad quality.
• 1:06:35
  I couldn't say it, but it sounds like he's saying lots of titties
• 1:06:38
  and I don't believe what it is. But holy shit, I was trying to
• 1:06:43
  rewind Misty Fuji figure out what he is saying about lots of
• 1:06:48
  American geisha girls. Oh my God, this was like this
• 1:06:53
  was on a whole nother level of unhinged and he kept he felt
• 1:06:56
  like he was going on for the longest time.
• 1:06:58
  Yeah, he did. He does.
• 1:07:00
  Just keeps rambling and rambling just like I'm doing right now.
• 1:07:03
  That's all. When he finds out what he like,
• 1:07:05
  found out what he said, he's damn it.
• 1:07:06
  Fuji, damn it. He said what I thought he said.
• 1:07:10
  There's no. They were all blabbering at this
• 1:07:13
  point because Bob Backlund sounds like a psychopath.
• 1:07:16
  What is the way he's delivering it?
• 1:07:18
  And the masked superstar. Who is that guy?
• 1:07:20
  I. Don't know.
• 1:07:21
  He says he's like, everyone knows what I'm talking about.
• 1:07:24
  Like no, no, nobody. Iron, Iron Sheik out there
• 1:07:29
  saying wishing Merry Christmas, but then telling us how he
• 1:07:33
  doesn't celebrate Christmas. Like what is going on?
• 1:07:37
  Vince, did you like just let these guys go off the cuff
• 1:07:40
  knowing that no one was going to ever watch?
• 1:07:42
  This Tony Atlas, though, he's, he's kind of, he keeps it real.
• 1:07:45
  He's like. You know.
• 1:07:46
  For every something, for every kid, a job for every man, you
• 1:07:49
  know. He's about Jesus Christ.
• 1:07:51
  Yeah, Jesus, Mouthful of marbles.
• 1:07:54
  And then you got Captain Lewis ball bands sticking out of his
• 1:07:57
  face. Telling us he's Santa and he
• 1:08:00
  wants some fine wine and women like what?
• 1:08:03
  What's? It and a caddy to add to his
• 1:08:06
  collection of 10. Yeah.
• 1:08:08
  Slaughter followed by, once again, Superfly.
• 1:08:11
  Hello, I'm Jimmy Superfly. Snuka again.
• 1:08:15
  We already know who you are, all right?
• 1:08:18
  And again. He has murdered a person at this
• 1:08:20
  point apparently. Right?
• 1:08:21
  Like. This is the best you could do,
• 1:08:24
  Vince. This is the best you could do.
• 1:08:26
  Sarge didn't say maggot on Christmas though, so that's nice
• 1:08:29
  at least. 1983 roster is something to behold.
• 1:08:33
  Man if this that's the best holy shit.
• 1:08:36
  Yeah, the Hogan has not arrived yet, I'm assuming.
• 1:08:39
  Like it's crazy. The.
• 1:08:41
  Backlines the champ, yeah. Backline.
• 1:08:43
  Yeah, I'm the WWF Champion and he's dry as shit.
• 1:08:47
  It's. Yeah, his the close up on him
• 1:08:51
  through the wreath too is like just his eyes and mouth it looks
• 1:08:54
  like. It's terrifying.
• 1:08:56
  Yeah, A. Snake So on the first day of
• 1:09:00
  Christmas, I'd like to give to you guys something that we
• 1:09:04
  thought about covering in depth. No way.
• 1:09:08
  Thank God was. Like I'm not sitting down for a
• 1:09:11
  movie. Not doing a movie.
• 1:09:13
  And it is none other than Santa with Muscles from 1996.
• 1:09:19
  Hulk Hogan plays an action hero named Blake Thorne.
• 1:09:23
  Worst thing? I don't even know where to start
• 1:09:26
  with this because the the. I don't even know how do you
• 1:09:31
  start with this. Toupee, I know where to start.
• 1:09:33
  I know where to start and set the set the bar pretty low.
• 1:09:37
  Nick at the very end of this trailer because we just watched
• 1:09:40
  the trailer. I I want the artist's opinion,
• 1:09:44
  so I'm coming to you. I want the artist's opinion of
• 1:09:46
  the logo for the movie. My best way to explain it, it
• 1:09:51
  just says Santa with muscles in the most MSMS word font,
• 1:09:58
  possibly paint, and there is a Santa word art.
• 1:10:02
  Yes, thank you. It's absolutely word art.
• 1:10:04
  And then there's this little like word art picture of Santa
• 1:10:08
  that's just kind of jacked up in there.
• 1:10:10
  How would you explain the quality of logo here?
• 1:10:15
  It is not good. There isn't like snow caps on
• 1:10:18
  each letter or something too. Yes, but I was trying to, I was
• 1:10:23
  trying to figure out because this clip, the clip then after
• 1:10:28
  if you read the description, it says that it was fan made.
• 1:10:30
  So I'm wondering there's no way that a fan could have made what
• 1:10:34
  we watched here. It's like what, 3 minute clip
• 1:10:37
  like of the movie? Trailer.
• 1:10:39
  Wait. Is it just fan clip?
• 1:10:42
  I don't. Know Oh my fan made the movie
• 1:10:43
  oh. As well I'm.
• 1:10:47
  Confused now so. This is so I went to go
• 1:10:49
  horrible. I wasn't scripted.
• 1:10:51
  Oh, no, it's awful. And it's actually, you could go
• 1:10:53
  watch the whole thing on actual YouTube, not just the trailer.
• 1:10:57
  The movie's about an hour and a half and I watch the opening
• 1:11:01
  scene and my guess is the premise of this movie is Hogan
• 1:11:06
  is an actor, Blake Thorne, right?
• 1:11:09
  And it's it starts off like no I.
• 1:11:12
  Think he's like a, he's a terrorist or something like
• 1:11:14
  that. He's like a bad, he's a bad guy.
• 1:11:16
  No, no, no, no, no. That's what they need you to
• 1:11:19
  believe. But he's an actor.
• 1:11:21
  So the whole opening scene starts off with like him
• 1:11:25
  fighting off these guys and then out of nowhere you see all these
• 1:11:28
  boom microphones show up. No, he's training for a movie.
• 1:11:32
  Yes. And it's like, it's it's
• 1:11:35
  bizarre. Then the trailer goes into then
• 1:11:37
  I had no patience and didn't want to watch the rest of the
• 1:11:39
  movie movie. So I just watched this trailer
• 1:11:41
  and it looks like he goes and ends up turning into a mall mall
• 1:11:48
  Santa Claus but gets hit over the head.
• 1:11:51
  It's like their version of Tim Allen's Santa Claus.
• 1:11:53
  Oh, and then he thinks he's. Santa Claus, he gets hit over
• 1:11:55
  the head, thinks he's mall cop. Mall cop, Sorry, mall Santa
• 1:11:58
  Claus, right? And but this is also, mind you,
• 1:12:03
  this is also the version of Hogan, like he's left WWF at
• 1:12:07
  this point. I believe it's early WCW, early
• 1:12:10
  WCW. He's got the short mustache.
• 1:12:12
  He's wearing a toupee. He's wearing a blonde toupee
• 1:12:16
  throughout the movie, so. In this trailer that we watched,
• 1:12:20
  they do their best to describe the premise of the movie, and so
• 1:12:25
  I felt like it was a necessary listen for us.
• 1:12:29
  And he's got three days to foil a band of evil scientists.
• 1:12:32
  Assembled the team. We're taking the orphanage,
• 1:12:35
  Plato. Santa hears about this.
• 1:12:37
  He'll kick your butt to New Year's.
• 1:12:41
  Santa, you say? Me.
• 1:12:43
  Hulk. Hogan is Santa with an attitude.
• 1:12:48
  Keep them off the cookies warm. Santa with some friends, Santa
• 1:12:54
  with a mission, how we supposed to get over this and most of all
• 1:12:57
  he Santa with muscle. They can't start Christmas
• 1:13:00
  without me, can they? So it bad.
• 1:13:06
  This movie looks really bad. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:13:11
  Nothing. Nothing about it makes me want
• 1:13:12
  to watch that piece of. Shit.
• 1:13:16
  But you know, there's some like not I don't even know where
• 1:13:21
  would you list them like G list celebrities on here.
• 1:13:24
  I'm sure, yeah. That one guy listen something.
• 1:13:27
  Yeah, you got it's. A paycheck, I'm sure you know,
• 1:13:30
  hang out with Hogan. They they probably filmed it in
• 1:13:33
  like 2 days. Like, yeah, just it doesn't
• 1:13:35
  matter. Just do it.
• 1:13:37
  The It's the epitome of. Hulk Hogan movie.
• 1:13:40
  The epitome of it being, yes, a Hulk Hogan movie.
• 1:13:43
  But the epitome of this, and why I wouldn't watch it, is the
• 1:13:46
  final eight seconds of the trailer.
• 1:13:48
  Let's just listen to this too. Santa with muscles there's.
• 1:13:52
  A new Santa in town and I know if you've been naughty or nice.
• 1:13:58
  I I. Love if you've been naughty or
• 1:14:00
  nice. He doesn't even like.
• 1:14:02
  It's A heartless millionaire believes he is Santa Claus after
• 1:14:06
  an accident renders him with amnesia.
• 1:14:09
  That's the the plot A. Millionaire.
• 1:14:13
  A million promo is better than that last trailer, right?
• 1:14:18
  What are we doing here, Hogan? Sounds like he's reading off a
• 1:14:20
  cue card. Exactly.
• 1:14:21
  Come on, Hogan. CRO Enthusiasm.
• 1:14:25
  What, do you have to be standing next to him or something?
• 1:14:27
  Has a 2.7 out of 10 rating. That seems generous.
• 1:14:32
  Thank you. Thank you all for not agreeing
• 1:14:34
  to actually wanting to watch this in its entirety, and thank
• 1:14:38
  you for watching what you did, because Jesus Christ, I would
• 1:14:42
  not have made it even that. Far I'm just thankful that you
• 1:14:45
  said don't watch like where you're not doing it it's.
• 1:14:47
  Not doing it. What's what's the movie where
• 1:14:49
  the girl crawls out the ring, the ring right when you crawls
• 1:14:52
  out? Like if you put that movie on
• 1:14:53
  something bad, it's going to happen to you like.
• 1:14:56
  The ghost of Hogan's crawling. Crawling out.
• 1:14:59
  This movie is like really is really, I saw some things
• 1:15:02
  online. First of all, it's it's really
• 1:15:05
  cruel that people are comparing it to What's the one that Rock
• 1:15:08
  just came out with a few years ago?
• 1:15:11
  Red one? People are saying like that's
• 1:15:13
  like a a reboot of this. Oh Jesus, this is like just like
• 1:15:18
  a money grab. Like whoever came out with this
• 1:15:20
  was like, we're going to get basically every wrestling fan
• 1:15:25
  that has a kid and watch this movie.
• 1:15:28
  They always have that look to him.
• 1:15:29
  Those movies too. It looks like like Sharknado,
• 1:15:31
  like those kind of movies like same with the Goldberg when we
• 1:15:34
  before it has like a cheap look to it because I guess.
• 1:15:37
  It is, yeah. It's it's really bad.
• 1:15:41
  Yeah, really, really bad. The poster looks like is is the
• 1:15:44
  poster for the movie, right? It I don't know if you guys can
• 1:15:48
  see this. It essentially looks like
• 1:15:50
  Suburban Commandos poster like with Hulk just holding like
• 1:15:55
  adults up in the air. Like much better movie.
• 1:15:58
  Yeah, Suburban Suburban Commando looks like the Godfather
• 1:16:01
  compared to right. That's true.
• 1:16:03
  That's a true statement. Say this thing looks like the
• 1:16:07
  Godfather could. Pass.
• 1:16:09
  I might go sit down and watch Santa Sleigh I I.
• 1:16:12
  Recommend watching the opening scene, it was free on tubby so
• 1:16:15
  you can just well. Now we need a this is what I was
• 1:16:18
  saying before, Alien versus Predator.
• 1:16:20
  So it's Santa slave or Santa with muscles like who wins?
• 1:16:24
  Santa Sleigh 1000 times like. Unfortunately.
• 1:16:28
  Hogan's toupee gets ripped off in a second a. 1000 times out of
• 1:16:31
  100 Santa sleigh takes. Choke choke him with his own
• 1:16:34
  toupee and he has that sleazy mustache too.
• 1:16:37
  Yeah, that's the thing man. Like early got one like like a
• 1:16:42
  what? Did he have like 8 month period
• 1:16:44
  of his life with that mustache? Like the guy came out of the
• 1:16:47
  womb with that thing on with the the Fu Manchu.
• 1:16:50
  Come on. Early WCW Hogan is absolutely
• 1:16:53
  disgusting. It's.
• 1:16:54
  Trash. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:16:55
  How like that had to have been. I would love to know, and I know
• 1:17:00
  this has nothing to do with the holidays, but I'd love to know
• 1:17:03
  how he ended up like trimming the Fu Manchu, right?
• 1:17:08
  So like to go back to it. It's to go back.
• 1:17:11
  To that, Sullivan shaves it off, shaves the mustache.
• 1:17:14
  He does. Yeah, and.
• 1:17:16
  And he never grows it back. Did he shave off the Foo or the
• 1:17:20
  Manchu? What do you think?
• 1:17:24
  Which ones these? Guys do weird stuff, man.
• 1:17:26
  My uncle that the uncle the that started the Christmas playlist,
• 1:17:30
  he wrote in advertising for years and he did commercials for
• 1:17:34
  Mercedes and during the height of Seinfeld they did a a
• 1:17:39
  Mercedes commercial with Kramer and he was growing a beard
• 1:17:43
  during the time or like stubble. He refused to shave for the
• 1:17:47
  commercial. They offered him $1,000,000 and
• 1:17:50
  he didn't want to shave. Like that's insane when you
• 1:17:53
  think about that. Kind of stuff $1,000,000.
• 1:17:55
  Right, Yeah, I I will gladly shave anything.
• 1:17:59
  Yeah, anyway. That's for $1,000,000.
• 1:18:06
  Anyway, back to Santa with muscles.
• 1:18:09
  Muscles. Is there anything else muscles
• 1:18:11
  to? Talk about No, I don't.
• 1:18:13
  I don't want to talk about this movie.
• 1:18:14
  Do you have a favorite? To be honest, we could do a
• 1:18:17
  whole episode about the toupee. Like if easy we could spend 60
• 1:18:20
  minutes on that. But that's like coal in your
• 1:18:23
  stocking, probably. No more.
• 1:18:26
  No more. Once in any hoes.
• 1:18:31
  Santa with muscles. There's a new Santa in town.
• 1:18:35
  I know if you've been naughty or nice.
• 1:18:39
  What we fucking do? I just wish you guys could see
• 1:18:42
  his facial expression like as you're listening.
• 1:18:44
  To this because it's like. Yeah, you mean what is that?
• 1:18:49
  How was that the last line of the trailer?
• 1:18:52
  That's the best they had, the whole.
• 1:18:55
  Movie makes just no sense. The premise like makes no sense.
• 1:18:59
  It's they're trying to wrote like tie in all these Christmas
• 1:19:02
  movies and I don't know it's it doesn't fit Hogan as a person in
• 1:19:07
  1996. Anyway, thank you guys for
