  Speaker 2: That's your reason for wanting to be old.

  Speaker 1: Like my stuffs here. Why would I want to be anywhere.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Else because other people have other stuff that's better. No,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: nothing's better than my stuff. It's my stuff.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Remember when you were a kid, though, and you would
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: go to somebody else's house and their stuff was always
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: better than your Yes, yes.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Yes, yes, of course, yeah. You would go to a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: friend's house and they had toys you didn't have, and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they were better, and it was just like magical.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: It was like, if I had those toys, my life
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: would be complete.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Uh huh uh huh.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: But we know that's not true.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you remember last year that we had the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Rudolph land here flashing lights in our front yard and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it drove me crazy. Yes, while we were doing the podcast,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: is it was like right outside my window. This year,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we have the floating candles from the Haunted Mansion in
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: our windows.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Well, they're flickering. I don't think they're floating. Well, I guess,
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: so you had Emmy put them up and rather than
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: put them on the window sill, she.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Put them up on the frame of the window that's
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: like at the halfway point of the window.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Right, so they do look like they're floating.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And I bought these on clearance at the end of
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the season last year, and I thought, what a great deal.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I got to have these, and we'll put candles in
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: each of our windows because that's what my mom did
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: when I was growing up.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, it seems to me this is just bugging me.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It seems to me that you lived your life like
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: a candle in the window.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I'm about ready, I think to uh to boot these
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: two because I see it out of the corner of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: my eye and I feel like it's like an SOS signal.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah it's it's look watch bo Yeah help sending out
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: an SOS as Sting said.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Okay, I have a question for you and for people listening. Okay,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so you know this story well, but back in the
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: late eighties and maybe nineteen eighty ten, it didn't get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: no bigger than New Kids on the Block.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And I loved me some Donnie specifically, but I loved
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: me some new Kids on the Block. And so the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: first time that they had a headlining tour coming to Atlanta,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I didn't really have to twist my parents arm. They
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: agreed to take me, and I was beside myself. That
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: would have been March of nineteen eighty ten. Okay, August
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of nineteen eighty ten. They were doing a new tour,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: a stadium tour, and they came back to Bobby Dodd
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Stadium on the Georgia Tech campus.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: So where were they the first time? Six legs no
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: omni oh, no omni okay.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And so I mean they're coming back. I'm going, and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Mom and Dad's like, no, you're not. We're not doing that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: You've just seen them. So Littlan's who was just devastated.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: What do you mean I'm not going to go get
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to see Donnie? So then they said, okay, fine, if
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you can save up the money to buy the ticket yourself,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: your ticket yourself, then then you can go. Okay, Well
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: little Lenz got busy and didn't take her long. She
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: had that thirty four ninety five saved up and was
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: ready to go, and then they took it back and
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: they were like, oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that promise that was just a joke. You're not going anyways,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Long story short, I did get to go see them
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: at Bobby Dodd Stadium on the Georgia Tech campus in August.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Now, how'd you pull that off? If they said no?
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, I went to pap on Danny. Little Lenz knew
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: how to work the system.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So who took you?
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Friends took me? Oh okay, And then they came in
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: ninety one and my parents were like, no way no.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: So I didn't have a chance on that one. So
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: we saw Megan Trainer for he's birthday last year, twenty
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: twenty four. Well now, Meghan Trainer's coming again this summer.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: So that's two years.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: And Emmy excited and thinks.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: She's going, and you say she's not.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I am, I'm not saying anything. I want to know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: how often do you get to.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: See your favorite artist? Yeah, in concert? Yeah, as an adulter,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: as a kid.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: As a kid, as an adult, you get to do
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: what you want.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Well, as a kid, I got to see my favorite
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: artists exactly zero time.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Well I know, okay, but you were the oldest of
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: five kids at home, six total. That's a lot of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: bounce to feed.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It is, but you know what I could have helped
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: feed Joe Elliot's smith by going to his concert.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Emmy is blast is lucky that she's an only child
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: like I was. So I mean, what's reasonable every two years?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Is that? Okay? I don't know, I.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Would think so okay, I mean for a while there,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: I was going to see uh, def Leppard and Journey
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: every two years.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, but were you an adult?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean I was. You know, I saw Ario
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: I think every year for three years in a row.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Oh wow, So there you go.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I mean did something change? Why did you need to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: see them every year? I mean, wasn't it that basically
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the same thing?
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It was close to the same thing. But the first
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: year I went with somebody, and then the second year
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I went with somebody else.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Oh girls, and were you going with girls?
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And then the third year I went with friends.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, gracious, so they I bet your song
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was an Areo Speedwagon.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: No. No, I never had an Ario Speedwagon song as
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: my song. So Emmy, when we went and saw Megan Trainers,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: and if I did, it would have been roll with
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the changes.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: On Megan trainer Last year she was at an outside
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: amphitheater and it rained, and it had rained all week
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: leading up to the show.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It was like woodstock and we.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Were not under the awning or whatever. We were not
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: under that. We were out in the rain. And so
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Emmy was very like, like, Mom, are you not having fun? Mom? Mom,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: are you okay? Because I just sat I just sat there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I took a beach towel and I just like owned
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the muddiness and I just sat in it. And she
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: was just she wanted me to be up and dancing,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, it's pouring rain. I'm soaked. I'm here,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'm fine. Leave me alone.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when you get above forty, sitting out in the
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: rain is not your idea of a good time.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: It wasn't. She still gives me grief about that. She's like,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: they look like you weren't having fun.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Well, now you have to go back and have some fun.
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: This time.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: She's gonna be inside.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Oh she is.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Gas South Arena, I.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Don't even oh the over Inguinette. Yeah. Yeah. I was
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: gonna say, is it back down at the Omni? Is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: it back down at Dominique Wilkins. Let me tell you,
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: if it was there, we would not be going.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Well, there is no Omni, but whatever, the State Farm
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Arena or whatever it is. Last time I went there
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: was what two thousand and four when I saw the Eagles.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's been a long time, you know.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: Wasn't it better?
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: No, wasn't it better back in the day when stadiums
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: were just had like real names like the Omni or
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the Arena or whatever, instead of all these sponsors now ridiculous,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Like I can't keep track of them anymore. Lincoln Financial
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Field and Cares State Farmery. Yeah, I don't give a crap.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I liked it when they had a personality. Right, Wrigley Field,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: that's still technically that was named after a company too,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: but the Wrigleys owned it, right, So Finnway Park, right,
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: those are about the only ones that are still left.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: You know. Miami had the Orange Bowl that was kind
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: of cool. Uh, the Omni as you mentioned, so just
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the Astrodome, Like how cool were these places? And now
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: it's State Farm Arena sponsored by Jake and his red shirt.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: You know, like nobody gives a crap, Like you've taken
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: away the personality and you've made us all a bunch
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of corporate shills.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, that explains it, and that explains it well,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: yeah for sure. So so what I think I've heard
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: you say is it's okay if I get her tickets?
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: Yes, do you want to go?
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: I do? Not?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Fair enough? Fair enough?
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: So did you get any feedback from last week's episode?
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: Last week we did the trivia? Was I here lest
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: you were here because you kicked my heine in trivia?
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Oh? How can I forget? Yes? I got some feedback, Yeah,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: what you get iron jawed Angel was so then I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: wiped the floor with.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: You she's like, she's like Emmy was when she was little,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: just girl power. I guess, yeah, yeah, I was a
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: little disappointed myself.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: But when I I guess, you're gonna blame it on
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: jet lag?
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: No, No, I mean I just goofed it up, you know.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I had fifty to fifty chances, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: I chose the wrong one almost every time. But when
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: I went back and listened to it, I did I
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: wasn't as terrible as I thought I was. I actually
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: got more right than what I remembered what getting right.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: But I was still I was still really bad.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: Still pretty bad I was. I'm not saying that I wasn't.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Why are you.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Picking on me now? It's not funny.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: It's a fun thing to do.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: So uh Deaf Dave and Brad from Pop Culture Yearbook
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: and Jason from Shirley You Can't be Serious podcasts they
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: say that it sounded like you were writing your own
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: episode last week on the death of Bob Saggatt, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: they are all in for it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Okay, you know what. So I did a little bit
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: of research after that episode, and I'm like, I wonder,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: surely I'm not the first podcaster to have this idea
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that this needs to be delved into a little bit.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: So I did just a little bit of research. And
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you know who's done an episode on it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Jesse Castopolos, Chris Jericho.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Really yes, you know everything comes back to rastling, it does.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: So Chris Jericho, he's got a podcast called Talk is Jericho.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: He's had it for like ten years, this podcast really forever.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: He's got like over a thousand episodes.
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Wow, that's a lot. We'll never make a thousand, Oh.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think. So he did an episode around the
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: controversy of Bob Saggett's death. So I listened to it,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and then I talk to you about what I heard,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: and then maybe a little bit of a theory that
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: I had come up with, And you were like, yeah,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I don't ever share that with anybody because I don't
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: want someone coming after us.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if someone got Bob Sack and I don't want
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: those people coming after me. So we talk about that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: I will leave it. I will leave it at that,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: But go ahead and find that episode, take a listen
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: to Chris Jericho and see what he has to say.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: And I'll just say I agree.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know what that means.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: But I agree with the with their theories that they've
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: come up with. You're just a conspiracy theorist. Absolutely. I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: was born from a conspiracy theorist.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, you were all right, you got anything else.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: I'm not in the Christmas mood this year.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've noticed you've you've you're scrooging it around.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: I'm very irritable. I can't get in the spirit. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: told you guys like this last week, like we're putting
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: a tree up, I will decorate our mantle in our
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: living room. And that's that. I don't want to hear
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about it. And don't give me grief. This is what
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: we're doing. I got you to pull out all the
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: decorations and now here there they are. They're just like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: heaped in the foyer and they're not getting done. I
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: have no motivation to do it. We have a Christmas
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: party at our house on the twentieths.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to get it decorated by that.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: You better get it done, That's all I'm saying.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So we've got less than two weeks, we've got twelve days. Well,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I better get it done.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you better get to it.
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: So I.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Organized and hosted a party yesterday as part of my
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: work for one hundred and twenty people. I have a
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: murder mystery party later this week on Thursday that I'm
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: hosting and organizing. And then I have this coming up
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: weekend Christmas party of about ninety people that I'm planning
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and hosting. And golly, so I think that might be
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: why when I get home, I'm just like, my brain
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: is dead. I'm done. I'm over it.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You're the host with the most Babe beetlejuice.
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: With me, So I don't know. And I'm having some
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: asthma issues. I hope I don't sound as congested as
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: I feel, but I think that might kind of add
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: to it. You know, if you can't breathe, how can
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: you get motivated to work?
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Well, I think this episode is going to motivate you,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: I hope, so to motivate you and put you in
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: the Christmas spirit.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I need something.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: This is the first of our three Christmas episodes that
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: we're going to have, So are you ready to get
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to it?
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I am ready?
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: This is a podcast that looks back on the decade
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of the nineteen eighties. We talk about things that were
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: important to us as children, and what we look back
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: on with fond memories as adults. Ultimately, this is a
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: nostalgia podcast, all right.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: So was it last year that we did a Christmas
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: playlist for songs that came out in the eighties? Right? Yes,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: or done by or they were redone by artists in
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: the eighties? Right, Like Santa Baby by Madonna. Right, That
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: wasn't a song that came out in the eighties, but
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: Madonna was from the eighties and she did it in
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: the eighties. So we covered that, And then we did
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: a couple of songs that came out on Christmas is
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: seventy nine, but that's like six days before nineteen eighties,
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: so we went ahead and counted those. So I was
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: trying to figure out, how are we gonna do another
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: Christmas playlist that isn't the same Now there are some
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: more eighties songs out there, But we did that last
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: year and maybe we'll do that again next year. But
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: here's what I was thinking, how do I get some
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: older songs that I like into our eighties program? And
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: do you know what I came up with?
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I think I do.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: But tell us you can get a good Christmas playlist
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: from Christmas songs that were in nineteen eighties movies. And
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: so that's what we're going to do today. We're going
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: to just make a playlist, no particular order really, but
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: just a fun little playlist of songs that were in
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Christmas movies and we get to talk a little bit
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: about the songs and maybe a little bit about those movies.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: So I'm super excited. And when you threw this idea
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: at me, one song is what got me on board,
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: and I was on board immediately, and of course I
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: made sure that we added it to the list of
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: ones we talk about. So I can't wait, right.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: So, if you follow me on Twitter or x or
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: whatever you want to call it, now, I am doing
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a countdown of my top twenty five favorite Christmas songs
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: by artist, and I'm counting down from twenty five to one.
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: I started on December first at twenty five and I
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: will finish on December twenty fifth with one. So we're
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: just kind of Christmas musicing all over the place this year.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: So I want to know what are some of your
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: favorite Christmas songs?

  Speaker 1: Oh bime, so that made carry Christmas to you?
• 17:22

• 17:25
  Speaker 1: I think as you know, that's one of my all
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: time favorite Christmas songs by Nat King Cole.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: That is correct.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: Love that one. Bet our listeners are like.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: What, No, I'm sure.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they know Last Christmas by Wham.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: That's a good one. We covered that last year.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: What is the one that I made you add to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: our personal playlist? Do you remember?
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not so sure. The Dance of the Sugar
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Plum Fairy Jim.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Do you seriously not remember you added it for me
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: to our the one we listened to in the car?
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: No, I seriously don't remember. I know recently I added
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Bob Seeger's Little Drummer Boy, but I don't remember what
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: it was that you had me add.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: So I love All I Want for Christmas? I think
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is what it's called Mariah Carrey. I know that's a
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: more modern one, but I love that one.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Do you like Uh, let's say, do you like anything
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: by Bing Crosby.
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I love Old Be?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: You love Old Being? Harry Huh love Perry Perry Como?
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: That was that was your grandmother's thing. I never a
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Perry Como fan, but I did add a bunch of
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: Perry Como stuff to our Christmas list because you love
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: him so much because of your grandmother. So all right, well,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: maybe some of those will make our list, but most
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: likely they won't. But uh, are you ready to like?
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: They probably won't but.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe they will, but they probably won't. Yeah, all right,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: well let's uh, let's get to the meat of our
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: episode here.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: I say, come on.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: Our first song? Do you want to introduce it?
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: I do?
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: Christmas Baby Please Come Home by Darling Love from the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Christmas movie Grimlins.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: So, if I'm not mistaken, this what opens the movie
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: with the opening credits for Grimlins.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: I love her voice.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: Yes, and this is a great song to open our list.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: A powerhouse, right man?
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: That that she's got, Well, I wouldn't give if I
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: could have that power, I would I would go around
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: singing everything I said.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would too. Yeah, she's phenomenal. So from the
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: movie Grimlins. I believe it's the opening credits as they
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: show the back to the future neighborhood with snow all
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: over it. So this song has reached as high as
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: number fifteen on the Billboard Hot one hundred and number
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: seven on the Billboard Holiday one hundred charts. So each year,
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: songs just kind of trade places on that holiday chart,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: which is kind of interesting.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: You know how much I love the all time charts.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's like your favorite charts.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: So it is number sixty six on the Billboard All
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Time Holiday Chart. I'm Billboard Holiday Chart, Billboard Holiday Chart
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: all Time.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: So what you're saying is it's too low. Is that
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: what you're saying?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Yep, yep. Darlene Love would perform this song on David
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Letterman's Late Night Show, be the last show that he
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: did before Christmas. She did that every year for twenty
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: years in a row, from ninety four to the year
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: twenty fourteen.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: That's pretty cool that he would bring her on there, right,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: He's probably trying to make up tour for whatever creepy things.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Phil Spector, did you know it?
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: So?
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Did you know? I've got a little fun fact for you,
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Okay that in December of twenty ten, Rolling Stone magazine
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: ranked this song first on its list of the greatest
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: rock and Roll Christmas Songs.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: There you go, Now, that's what I'm talking about.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It's a rock and roll Christmas song, That's what I'm
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: talking about. A way to go, Darling Love. So you
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: think about this song.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I love this song?
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: You love this song? Is it? Is it a staple
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: like it has to be played on every Christmas list?
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Absolutely?
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: And what did you think about it?
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Did it?
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: Did it put you in the Christmas spirit? When they
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: played it at the beginning of Grimlins and you see
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: the snow and the credits and they're playing, yes, song.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: But I think that it was the song with the
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: opening credits was very deceiving as far as what the
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: movie was ultimately going to be about.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: It's about Christmas.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, and a little bit more than that.
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: Oh boy, So are you saying that that Gremlins is
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: not a Christmas movie?
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna probably argue too much with you on that,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: but it doesn't feel very Christmas.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: E te Well, it doesn't have the spirit of Christmas,
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: but it does take place at Christmas. There is snow,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: there is Santa Claus, you know right.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Well, cuse I remember one time when I was growing up,
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: it snowed on April Fool's Day. Did that make it Christmas?
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: No, because it wasn't at Christmas like Christmas Eve when
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Grimlins destroyed the town. So here's what we're gonna do.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: I've got an idea and I'm hoping that we can
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: get to it this week because one of these episodes
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: I want to do for Christmas is I want to
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: have you, because you've never seen either one of them,
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: I want to have you watch Lethal Weapon and Die
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: Hard and then break them down and tell me why
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: they aren't Christmas movies.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I love that, Okay, But what if I watch them
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: and I think that they are, well.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Then that's even better, okay, because then that means I
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: get to add them to our rotation.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Awesome.
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: All right, So are you ready for our next song?
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: What is it?
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: Dingle bell jingle bell, jingle bell around it, jingle bells
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: wing and jingle bells ring, snowing and.
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: Blowing up through shoes A fuck the jingle.
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell jingle.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So for those of you that are listing that are
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: from another planet, that is jingle Bell Rock by Bobby Holmes.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: And this is also an opening scene song from the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: movie Lethal Weapon.
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, there you go.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: So this song was performed by Bobby Holmes in nineteen
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: fifty seven.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Nineteen fifty seven. It's a it's an old, it's an old,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: yeah wow, and.
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: The song peaked at number three on the US Billboard
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: Hot one hundred can you believe that it's crazy? And
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: number two on the Billboard Holiday one hundred. So I
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: want you to know something. This song is huge and
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: hungry the the country hungary, not what my belly does
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: at seven o'clock each night. It peaked in the year
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: End Hot one hundred. Okay, So I wonder what in
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: the year end Hot one hundred every year from twenty
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three. So apparently the Hungarians love this song.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I wonder if it's on Kaiser Jose's playlist.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: It's got to be though, related to something in their culture,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: because if the song was recorded in fifty seven and
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: it doesn't hit the Hot one hundred until twenty twenty.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: I wonder why, because they were under the Iron curtain,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: probably weren't allowed to listen to.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: Okay music, Okay, okay, all right.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: So I know you like controversy.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: So this song was composed by Joseph Carlton Beale and
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: James ross Booth, but both Bobby Holmes and session guitarist
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Hank Garland, who played on the song, disputed this. They
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: both claimed until their death that it was they not
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Beale and Booth, who wrote the song. They claimed that
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: the original song by Bill and Booth was called jingle
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: Bell Hop, and according to Helms and Garland, that song
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: had little to no resemblance to this one, and Helms
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: did not like it, and as a result, they both
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: proceeded to work on it, changing the music, the lyrics,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: the tempo, and also giving it a previously missing bridge.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: The new song, they claimed, was the one that is
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: known today. However, neither of them have received writing credit
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: or any writing royalties for this song.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Wow, that's pretty crazy.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: And Bobby Helmes in a nineteen ninety two interview said,
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: I really didn't want to cut it because it was
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: such a bad song. So me and one of the
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: musicians worked on it for about an hour, putting a
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: melody to it, and then we put a bridge to it.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: And then that musician, who was mister Garland, said, I
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: let it hop back to where it came from. It
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't any good. Bobby and I came up with the
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: jingle Bell Rock a ma here's every holiday season, he
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: said in a two thousand and one interview.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: I let a lot of boyfriends hop back to where
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: they came from back in the day.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Did you nope them on back? Did they note this
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: song on back?
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: Yes? They did.
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: So what are your thoughts on this song?
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: To me, there's not a more classic Christmas song. When
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: it starts and it's that little twangy liked like, I'm
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: just instantly a big smile on my face and I'm
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: ready for the holiday.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: So I remember the first time I ever heard this song.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: It was probably like five, six, seven years old, and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it was either the night before Christmas Eve or Christmas Eve,
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: and I was actually spending the night with my birth mother, Wow,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: and she was playing Christmas music on the radio and
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: jingle Bell Rock came on and I had never heard that,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: and I told her how much I liked that song, Yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: because it wasn't like Santa or Rudolph, which is what
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: all little kids like, right, And so I remember hearing this,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: but I believe it was probably the Hall and Oates version,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: So that's probably my favorite version because of that. But
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: I will say that ever since nineteen eighty seven, anytime
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: I hear this song, I think of lethal Weapon.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: I thought for a second that you were just sucking
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: up to a yacht rock playlist.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: No, No, No, I'm almost positive it would have been
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: The Hall of Oates because it didn't sound as twiny.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: I don't remember it being as twiny, so pretty sure
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: it's Hall of Notes.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know exactly if there's one specific movie or
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: memory that comes to mind when I hear this song.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: It just does kind of put me in the Christmas picture.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, then maybe you'll decorate a little bit later
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: on the maybe you will.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: This next one's is one of my favors.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, mine too.
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: Here we go, SignAll, sa, SignAll, saw real, SignAll, ring
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: my baby back.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: You were over there trying so hard not to laugh
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: at me, mouthing the yeap art every time.
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: That is Hay Santa Claus by the Moon Glows, and
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: that's from Christmas Vacation.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Yes, I love that. Yeah, hey too funny. Yeah, I
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: love how it opens with the saxophone.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: This song is older than the song we just wrapped
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: up Jingo Bel Rock. This one was written and recorded
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty three by the Moon Glows. Okay, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: don't really know the Moon Glows. Is this like the
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: only thing they ever did?
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: No, I'm sure that they did some other things, but
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: I don't really know the Moon Glows either. Yeah, so
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: did you find anything else?
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I couldn't really find a whole lot of info on
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the song.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: So okay, well let's talk about the movie. Then let's
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: talk about it in the movie. Uh, there's only a little,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: tiny snippet of in the movie. So the movie gets
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: a little about as much love as history gives the
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Moon Blows.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: Apparently, it's unfortunate because it's a really good thing.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: It's really good. It's a few guys with saxophones and
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: Santa hats lip syncing this song on a festive looking
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: street in downtown Chicago. There's traffic scattered snow in a
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: big red donation bucket nearby, and it leads right to
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: the scene in the department store where Clark has his
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: encounter with Mary, the sexy woman in a red dress.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: That that's the scene that I'm always like, Oh, yes,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: that's why I don't want.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: Lit.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: I like how he starts with like.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: Himself, with some monda. Oh gosh, but gosh.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: I love that song. Isn't that a great song? I'd
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: never heard that song before I saw Christmas Vicuation. I know,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: I know, And now it's on our playlist. Yes, yeah,
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: I hadn't either, So so I have this uh as
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: my ring tone for my morning alarm during the Christmas season.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Do you Is that what I slept through this morning?
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: No?
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: I think I've only got it for like specific occasions,
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: not not every morning. Okay, but yeah, I always hear
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I always wake up to that saxophone and it actually
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: does like you know me, I hate waking up to
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the alarm, but it actually puts a smile on my
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: face when I wake up to that saxophone. And I
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: haven't begun to hate the song yet because of it.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Well, I hope that you never do, because I never
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: want to not listen to it.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Right, That song is it's just fantastic. Anything else you
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: want to say about the movie, I don't think so.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: I think we may come back around to the movie
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: a little bit later. So all right, I'm wondering if
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: you've ever heard this song. I'm betting you probably haven't.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: It's Christmas time and Hollis Queens mom's cooking chicken in
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: college grease, racist stuff in macaroni and cheese. It's saying
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: to put gifts under Christmas trees, decorate the house with
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: flights at night, Snow's on the crown, snow.
• 32:20
  Speaker 8: White soap bright in the five place is the ule
• 32:23
  Speaker 8: locked beneath the missiletoe as you chase and knocked the
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: rounds Jervis year we puts Christmas.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: So that is Christmas and Hollis by run DMC, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: it is in the movie die Hard.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: So I don't know that song. I've heard you talk
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: about it, but this might be the first time I've
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: ever actually heard it. What is Hollis.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Hollis is a neighborhood in Queen's Oh, okay, okay. So
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: this song was released on November twenty fifth, nineteen eighty seven,
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: exactly one month before Christmas. It is on the album
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: A Very Special Christmas, which has various artists on there.
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: And you might recognize this because that's where I got
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Santa Baby by Madonna and The Little Drummer Boy by
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Bob Secret. I pulled that off those albums. And so
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: run dmc grew up in the neighborhood Hollis, Queens, Yes,
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: and so the track samples Clarence Carter's nineteen sixty eight
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: holiday song back Door Santa, as well as Frosty the Snowman,
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: jingle bells and joy to the world and it also
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: features an acme sirn. This peaked at number twenty two
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: on the Billboard Hot one hundred. And this again, since
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: you haven't seen the movie, this is in Diehard. When
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Bruce Willis gets into the limo and the driver Argyle
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: is playing this song and Bruce Willis asks, do you
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: have any Christmas music? And this is Christmas music, Argyle responds,
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: and then our guy would play a little bit of
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: an important part in the movie later on. But yeah,
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: this was Uh, that was my introduction to this song
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: was die Hard, and then I forgot about it for
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: a while and I wasn't sure if I liked it
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: or not. But the more I hear it, the more
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I like it.
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: Really, it just has grown it is.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: It is totally grown on me. And so now it's
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: going to be part of the playlist from now on.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, if it has to be, it has to be.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I guess. I wonder if it will start to grow
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: on you like it did on me, or if it
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: will start to grow on you like a bad fungus.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Yes, I worry about that.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, So are we ready for our next song? I
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: think so we're gonna go back to Grimlins.
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: And the night when to the little lab Do you
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: see what I see way up in the sky it alae,
• 35:01
  Speaker 9: do you see what I see?
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: Stop?
• 35:07
  Speaker 9: Stop dancing in the nightly?
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: The tale Last day guys with the Tale?
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: So that is do you hear what I hear? By
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Johnny mathis from Grimlins? Now do you remember when this
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: song was played in the movie.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: So, I'm gonna say what my nanny used to say
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: to me all the time? What so little Lens would
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: be like, oh, Nanny, don't you remember, and she would say, no,
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: I've slept a night since.
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: So this is when the Grimlins have kind of made
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: themselves known and they started to turn evil, and they
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: are going after Billy's moms and one of them like
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: sets the sets this playing on the record just like
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: blasting and scares the jar out of her. But then
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: she eventually, you know, gets one in the blender and
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: one in the microwave, which is pretty cool. So do
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: you like this song?
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: I love this song. I love Johnny mathis.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: His deep booming voice.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: And I don't think this is a traditional Christmas song
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: in like the way that jingle bells or rock around
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: the Christmas tree would be.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: But I like it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, So I like this song because I think I've
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: mentioned it here before, But I used to work at
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: a place called Frank's Nursery and Crafts, which was a
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: nursery and like a nursery and like a Michael's Combine Rafts. Yeah,
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: nursery and a crafts and so for because it was
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: a nursery, people would stop buying at Christmas trees that
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I'd have to, you know, bail up and tie to
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: their roof and whatever. But at Christmas time they would
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: play the same Christmas songs over and over and over
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: and over again, and this was always played. And I
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: loved this version of the song, but I had no
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: idea who sung it, and it took me decades to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: figure out who sung it and get that version down.
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: But I finally figured out that it was Johnny manthis
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: and then I finally downloaded it. And I think the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: reason why I like this version better than any other
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: version is because Johnny really goes forward at the end,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: and I want to play this.
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: For oh you are.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: Sweet night he would goodness, So wow.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Was Johnny really going for it there at the end
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: or what?
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: That's impressive? I wonder if Johnny Mathis and Darlene Love
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: ever did a.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: D wet but that version and him just wailing like
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: that at the end, I really really I just like
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: that part.
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: How could anyone ever top that?
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't think that they can. Like
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: Bing Crosbie, I think originally did this, and he did
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: a pretty good job of it, but Johnny pretty much
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: blows everyone out.
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Of the water.
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: It's amazing.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: Whitney did a pretty good version of it. Huh yeah, yeah,
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I'll take I'll take Johnny over everybody else.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: So thank Johnny Mathis for a thousand Please boiler alert
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: that maybe on later on in my list on my
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: top twenty five. I'm just show I bet all right,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: So anything else on that song, nop okay, next one.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: I bet you'll recognize this song as we just double
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: dip from Grimlins. We're also gonna double dip again from
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: another movie.
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: Mel is a thing to say on a bride on
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: Christmas Day. That's the island greeting that we sound you
• 39:25
  Speaker 5: from the land where palm tree sway here. We know
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: that Christmas will be green and bride the sun to
• 39:35
  Speaker 5: shine by day.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and tell the folks what that is.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: So that is me kimiki macha.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'll do that for you because speak a little Hawaiian.
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: Now let me try it. Melli khaliki maka. Yes, that
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: is correct by bing Crosby and that right there, the
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and that.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Is the andw sisters. How many Indrew sisters were there?
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: There were three? For why did I think there were four?
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: I was thinking there were four, and then I was wondering,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: how many of them do you think being dated?
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: He was. He was making dinner with all of them.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Being probably dated at least two of them.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Well one was probably a fuddy duddy, so she probably didn't.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: But let me see, do you think two sisters hated
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: each other because the second one went after being Yeah,
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: so let's talk about melly khaliki macha mee okay, no,
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: Melly melly khaliki macha, melly khaliki maka. It's the thing
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: to say on a bright Hawaiian Christmas.
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: Day if you say so.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: So what movie is that from?
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: That is from Christmas Vacation?
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: And do you remember when it's played?
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Why do you like doing? I do? I don't understand why.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know because I like to talk about when
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: it was played.
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: Why don't you next time just say, let me tell
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: you about when this was movie.
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, let me tell you about when this was played.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: In the movie good he is daydreaming about having his
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: pool in the backyard, right, and so that's that's when
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: they're playing Melly Khaliki Mauka, because of course, you know,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: it's a warm weather Christmas song, and his pool's only
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: going to be used in the warm weather. And you
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: know what, I've been to Chicago. I'm thinking that pool's
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: probably only open for about seventeen days. Oh really, yeah,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: it's very cold up there all the time. No, not
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: all the time, but basically from mid September until mid
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: May it is cold and you don't have much of
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: a fall, and springtime is miserable, and then all of
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: a sudden it's hotter than hades.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, if you say so. For some reason, I was thinking,
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: is Bing's version the most popular version of this song?
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: I think it is a reason.
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: I thought someone else did it. Didn't Elvis do it?
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: Maybe he may have, you know, Elvis like that uh
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: Hawaii stuff.
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, but no, Elvis like women in bikinis.
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: Well whatever, I mean, he's he was a red blooded male.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: But what are your thoughts on the song?
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: Well, I am not Hawaiian and I don't speak.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: Hawaii, so I don't speak Hawaii.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: Uh It's okay. It's not one of my faves.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: So you know, when I like to listen to this song, honestly,
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: other than when I'm watching Christmas Vacation, it's like Christmas
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: is over, it's the end of the day and it's nighttime,
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of like, oh, it's kind of a
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: bummer because we've only got a few hours left of Christmas.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: But then I'll listen to Melli Khaliki Maka and it
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: kind of puts me in a good mood because I
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: think of now, it's still daytime in Hawaii. Even though
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: it's picked dark here and it's late, it's still daytime
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: in Hawaii, and they must be having the time of
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: their lives, having a warm palm tree type Christmas. And
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: there is there is one year that I would like
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: to go to Hawaii for Christmas. Okay, I can make
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: that happen for you, sir.
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I'll see.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: And then I'm gonna play this song NonStop. I'm gonna
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: play this song and then a bunch of don ho
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: oh my goodness, and maybe I'll learn the ukulele. All right, Okay,
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: so this next song, same movie. You forced me to
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: put this in there.
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: This is my pick.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you did, but you forced me to put
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: this in there, and I probably wouldn't have most.
• 43:34
  Speaker 5: Use the time of you.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: For me with the wands.
• 43:43
  Speaker 5: We love.
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: Sharing so much joy and sheeer.
• 43:50
  Speaker 7: What a one fuf.
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: Watching The watch.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: Man. I love that song. I need to just keep
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: listening to it. Okay. This is that Spirit of Christmas
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: by Ray Charles. And again this is from the Christmas
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Vacation movie when Chevy Chase gets stuck up in the
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: attic and everybody else leaves to go to lunch and
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: they go to do a little bit of Christmas shopping
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: at the mall. He gets stuck up there and it's cold,
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: and he's got a bundle up with whatever he can find,
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: and then he's got to figure out a way to
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: entertain himself till the family gets home and he puts
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: on some old what is that a real de reel
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: home movies and it gets him in the fields.
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I want to know why you asked me last time.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: Why do you always ask me when this plays in
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the movie, But this one you knew exactly when it played.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Because I for some reason, when you watch Chevy Chase
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: watching those black and white home movies, it seems so real.
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: It's almost like he's not acting right.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: He kin gets teared up a little bit.
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: He has really gone to that place where he's remembering
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: something from a long time ago. And I do that
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: every year, at least once at Christmas, and it's no
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: one else can relate to it. I wouldn't even probably
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: share it because it wouldn't mean anything to you to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: share it with you. But I go there and I
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: remember something, and you have.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: Said, are you tearing up over there like Chevy Chase does?
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: I actually am. I don't know what is wrong with me,
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: but obviously something.
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: I believe you said that this is your favorite scene
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: in that movie.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, hands down, absolutely, hands down. It's a great movie.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Now I'm laughing because I told Emmy the other day
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: we were leaving church to come home and you were
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: staying you had something to do, and there was a
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: smell of gas outside, like sewer gas, and She's like,
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: what's that smell? And I was joking, and I said, oh,
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: it's like from Christmas Vacation movie. It's gonna the place
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: is gonna blow up.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: In a little while. She was like, we can't leave
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: Daddy here.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I was just totally joking with her, Merry.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Christmas full Oh oh man, that was that was classic. Yeah,
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden I start getting text
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: from her, I know, Dad, you need to leave. Mommy's
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: really worried about that smell. And I'm worried about you
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: and you need to leave.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: And then she's like, I'm not going to until Daddy
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: gets Oh boy.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's such a great scene and such a great
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: song and not a song.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: I feel like Christmas Vacation introduced me to a lot
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: of Christmas songs that I would have never known.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't really think that we ever would have
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: probably known of this song. No so. Ray Charles put
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: this song on his Christmas album The Spirit of Christmas
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that came out in nineteen eighty five. Most of the
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: songs on that album he was read recording classics Rudolph
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: the Red Nose Reindeer, Little Drummer Boys, and the Clauses
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Coming to Town. Baby, it's cold outside, but this was
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: actually a brand new song that he recorded, really, and
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: the man, it just fits in that scene. And again,
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just not sure that if it hadn't been for
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: that movie, if just the general population would even noad.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: You say, nineteen eighty five. Yep, So this is an
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: eighties Christmas song?
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: It is.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: I did not realize that. Yeah, I would have assumed
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: it was from the fifties or sixties.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Yet, Yeah, it sounds old. Yeah, all right, Well, am
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: this your first time I've ever cried on this show,
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: probably not first time in a long time. I'm not
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: a crier.
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: I should I mean, do you like lying to the audience?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: You're not a crier.
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: I'm not a crier. Crazy man.
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: All right, Uh, We're gonna move on to the next one.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: And this one is a little bit of a cheat,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: and I'll tell you why in a second of the jiety.
• 48:31
  Speaker 9: Bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle.
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: All the way.
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: Oh what fun it is to ride in a one
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: horse open slave.
• 48:44
  Speaker 6: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: Oh what fun it is to ride in a one
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: horse open slave.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: So that is jingle bells by the Chairman of the
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: board all Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra. So the reason why
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: I said this is a little bit of a cheat
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: is because I picked this song from a Christmas story,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: even though Frank isn't singing in Christmas story. It's the
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: mom and the kids are singing this in the car, right,
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: But I had to get something from a Christmas story.
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: And you know, as a kid, there wasn't too many
• 49:25
  Speaker 2: more things more fun than singing jingle bells as a kid, right, Like,
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: you just love that. But then as an adult you're like,
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: this song's really kind of stupid. But I hear Frank's version.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: I hear him singing it with that lovely voice and
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: with the with the bells kind of jingling and the
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: I love those j I N G. L Ee bells and.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: His little backup singers though, boy, they bring it.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Yes, and it's it's something different, Yes, And I discovered
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: it on a CD. I bought a Frank Sinatra Christmas
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: CD without really knowing what was on it, and wow,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: like this is on my playlist now. I like this
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: song and I'm not a big jingle bells fan. So
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: he kind of cheated a little bit to throw that
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: in there, But you know, the kids were singing jingle bells.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: No, I'll allow it.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: Do you remember when they were singing jingle bells in
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: the song in the movie?
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Is that right before they have the blowout?
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Yes, so, but I do want to know in this
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: song later in this song, not the part that we play,
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: he says, hars rs because he's from from farty far.
• 50:31
  Speaker 1: He's probably from Saint Louis. That always made me laugh.
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and bing Crosby says, carn I brought some
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: carn for pop.
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: Oh what is that about?
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: The crooners said, you know their ohs is ours like
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: we do in Saint Louis. Oh my goodness if you're
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: from the south side. So you know, we're kind of
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: running out here. We've got we've got eight songs so
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: far in our playlist. We're kind of running out of
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: good songs from the nineteen eighties movie. So I had
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: to move on to nineteen eighty ten, and I have
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: to include No, it's not cheating. We've agreed that nineteen
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: eighty ten is really part of the eighties.
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: So nineteen ninety is what we call nineteen eighty ten.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: Right, And so we're going to include a home alone,
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: because that's really still like an eighties movie. Yeah, and
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: it's it's one of the definitive Christmas movies of all time. Okay, okay,
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: And so I will play one of my favorites and
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: then I'll let you take the rest if you'd like.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: But this one is for me.
• 51:34
  Speaker 6: Run Run Rudolf, run off too far behind, Run run
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: Rudolf that I gotta.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: Make it to town.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: Satra making Harry cunning he can take the freeway down,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: Run run the rude o. I'm really knocking, Marry, go around?
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: What do you think about that one?
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: That's a fun one.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: That is run Rudolph, run by Saint Louis's own chuck Berry.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: And this is from Home Alone. Do you remember when
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: because we just watched this movie the other night.
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: This is when they're running through the airports try to
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: catch the plane that is correct, and little do they
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: know little Kevin's not with them.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Well, little does John Hughes know that you can't make
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: it through O'Hare in forty five minutes, much less make
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: it from their house now down to O'Hair than through
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: O'Hare in forty five minutes unless that plane was delayed.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: So you like controversy. Of course, there's some controversy surrounding
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: this song. Oh really, so Chuck Berry wrote this song
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: himself around nineteen fifty seven fifty six, But then Chuck
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: discovered that the name Rudolph was trademarked by Johnny Marx.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Really yes, and Marks sued and consequently was given songwriting credit,
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: although he had nothing to do with the song. Chuck
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: Berry also said because he was sued by Johnny Marx
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: and an M. Brody M period Brody. Chuck Berry also
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: said that M. Brody does not exist, but was a
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: pseudonym created as a scheme to make more money for
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: Marx and his publisher.
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, how can you trade mark Rudolph?
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know how you can trade mark Rudolph? What
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: if my son was named Rudolph? Could I not call
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: him that?
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe you couldn't say run Rudolph. Santa's got to make
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: it the town.
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: That's weird.
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: So this is actually nineteen fifty eight, right. It peaked
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: at number sixty nine on the Billboard Hot one hundred
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: chart in December of fifty eight, and then sixty years
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: later it was re released and re entered the Hot
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: one hundred chart at number forty five. Okay, so I
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: loved Chuck Berry's music. I love Chuck berry sound. I
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: love this song. It was great that he did a
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Christmas song that sounds exactly like all the other songs
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: that he sings. And I really wonder if his cousin
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: Marvin Berry brought the song to him.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: I knew you were going to work that in.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: Oh, I knew it all right. Anything else about mister Barry,
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: I think that's enough, all right. So here is our
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: next one, also from Home Alone.
• 54:36
  Speaker 5: Dreamer.
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Oh why Christmas? Just like the ones I used to know?
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Where those straights up?
• 54:51
  Speaker 5: This sh.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: This is White Christmas by the Drifters.
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: Now, I know you've heard of the Drifters.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: I have heard of the Drifters. Do you know how
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: old this song is?
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: Is it from like nineteen fifty two or something?
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Nineteen fifty six?
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I figured it was all The Drifters were like
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: a doo wop group in the fifties, so yeah, I
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: knew it had to be from the fifties or early sixties.
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: The album is Clyde mcfatter in the Drifters.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: Clyde McPhatter. Is he related to be oh, so go figure,
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: what do you think about that song?
• 55:35
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: I love that song.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: I mean deep deep deep righteep.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: That's crazy.
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: I love it.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: It makes me happy.
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: So this is my favorite version of White Christmas. I
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: like this better than Bing Crosby's version. I know Being
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: did the original. He doesn't even come compare all the
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: old timers love Being. But this for me, this, even
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: though it's thirty something years before I'm born, or twenty
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: something years before I'm born, and thirty something years before
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the eighties ended, to me, this is like our generation's
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: White Christmas. It is I love the fifties, I love
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: do Op and so here in a do Wops group
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: do White Christmas and make it so different than the
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: original is. It is amazing And I probably heard it before,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: but not sure. I know for sure that Home alone
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: brought it to my consciousness.
• 56:29
  Speaker 1: Yep, me too.
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: And so do you remember when this is playing?
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: I want to say, is Kevin kind of lip syncing
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: to it?
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: Yes? To the with the brush as the microphone. So
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: he's in the bathroom, Yeah, he just got out of
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: the shower.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and then he's done the whole He's taking care
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: of everything. He's talking about all the things.
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: He washed, right, and then he puts on the after shape.
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: Yes, does after shave burn.
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: After you've shaved? It does?
• 57:00
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: Okay, I mean it it'll sting, you know, for an adult,
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: but I could see for a little kid why that
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: would really really hurt. So yeah, I love this version.
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: That's my favorite version by far. And spoiler alert, it
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: may be coming up on my top twenty five countdown.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right?
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Sticking with the home Alone theme, we got one more
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: or two more so that is Oh Holy Night, composed
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: by John Williams, at least that verse of it, right,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: he didn't write the original. But that's also in Home Alone.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: And Kevin goes into the church and he meets the
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: old man who's not actually a murderer.
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: Why okay, but why does the old man stare at
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: Kevin so hard when he's in the drug store trying
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: to buy the toothbrush?
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I would have thought he was a murderer too,
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: if he just stared.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: At me like that.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: That's like, That's what I'm saying. No wonder he was
• 58:27
  Speaker 1: scared of that.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: But I can get behind a choir singing Christmas music,
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: and especially Oh Holy Night. I used to think that
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: net King Cole was maybe my favorite version, or maybe
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Bing Crosby was my favorite version. But I can certainly
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: get behind that choir that John Williams put together to
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: sing that with his with his music.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: They Knot of the Park.
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So thoughts on O Holy Night or that version
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: of all Holy Night?
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: So O Holy Night is just a classic, and it's
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: one of my all time favorites.
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Yes, same, I used to like to and I guess
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: I still do. But we don't stay out as late anymore.
• 59:03
  Speaker 2: But remember we used to go out on Christmas Eve
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: after having our family dinner, our family get together, and
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: we'd go out on Christmas Eve and drive around looking
• 59:11
  Speaker 2: at lights, and we wouldn't get home until almost midnight.
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: But that song would come on like be one, like
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: one of the last songs we would hear, and it
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: just h I don't know, for whatever reason, it just
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: it gets to me every time.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: I know it gets you done it.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: All right? One more?
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: One mittal saw what is it?
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: It is?
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: Also from Home Alone in nineteen eighty ten.
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: Christmas is Once you get it?
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: That is Carol of the Bells, also composed by John Williams.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: Yes, so this is when Kevin realizes that he's only
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: got an hour to go home and get ready, and
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: he's at the church and he takes off running to
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: go home and this is playing. What do you think
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: about Carol of the Bells?
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 1: Oh? I love this one too. I always wanted to
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: have the opportunity to sing this in a choir, and
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: I never did. But doesn't it even if you can't
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: sing right, don't you just picture yourself singing this with
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: the choir.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: I could be the person in the background just going
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: ding dong, probably while eating a ding dog.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: Listen Jim mcfatter.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: So this This is one of those songs that I
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: am just as happy listening to the instrumental only version
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: as I am the singing version. So I can listen
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: to Trans Siberian Orchestra play this, I can listen to
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: man I'm Steamroller play this. I can just listen to
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: any instrument play this. And the thing that I think
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: of most when I hear this song is when I
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: was a kid during the holidays, our local station KDSK,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: which is our NBC affiliate, after the news or as
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: the news was ending, they would always play this song
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: and I didn't know what it was. I did not
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 2: know what Carol of the Bells was as a kid,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: but I just heard this dun dounda dum dun dunna
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: dum dun dun over and over again, and I just
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: thought it was so cool. And I'm like, oh, I
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: wonder if like they made this up for this show
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: or what song this is or whatever. And I never
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: knew what it was, but I always thought it was
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: so cool. And then as I got older and I
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: learned what Carola Bells was, I'm like, oh, that's what
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: they always played.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: Well, that's cool, that's a cool story.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And last year was it last year that Emmy
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 2: learned how to play this on the piano? And then
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: so each Christmas now and I'm going to make her
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: play this because I enjoy it so much and she
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: does a pretty good job of playing this. So you've
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: got any more thoughts on Carol of the Bells.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think the ending on All Holy Night
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: and Carol of the Bells two classics. We couldn't have
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: picked better ones to end on.
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: What do you think? I love it.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: I think that wraps us up pretty good. I think
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: this will make a pretty good playlist. You start out
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: with a Christmas Baby, Please Come Home by Darlene Love,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: and you throw through some you know, some jingle bell
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: rock and some moonglows with Hey Santa Claus, got a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: little rap in there with Run DMC. We'd go back
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: to the eighties, and we go back to the fifties
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: with do you Hear What I Hear? And Melli Khaliki Maka,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: and of course the Spirit of Christmas, which sounds like
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: a fifties song but it's from the eighties. I've got
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: a little Ji n G l E Bells with Frank Sinatra,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: and then of course Chuck Berry with Run Rudolph Run White,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Christmas by the Drifters, and then Oh Holy Night and
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: Carol of the Bells close us off. I think that's
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: a pretty darn good Christmas playlist.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: It is, isn't it.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to put that one out on X
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: what do you think? Or not on X but out
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: on Spotify, yes, and maybe post to the show notes.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: We'll post a link to the show notes for these songs.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: What do you think?
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I love it?
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: All right, so we want to know what do you
• 1:03:18
