0:02

you from the holiday stress by giving you

0:04

our favorite Christmas cartoons

0:07

, live specials , movies

0:09

and more Scott , give

0:11

us a holiday beat .

0:43

Well , hello , hello . Welcome to the Powers

0:45

Point podcast , season 4 , episode

0:48

34 . I

0:50

was off last year , last week I

0:52

meant oh way off

0:54

. I'm

0:57

really looking forward to this . We're getting a lot of good feedback

0:59

for our Christmas episodes . People are saying

1:01

that we're stirring up the pot of memories and

1:04

it's getting people talking .

1:07

That's what they need this time of year .

1:10

And we know Christmas can be a

1:13

great time

1:15

of the year , but we also

1:17

you and I also know it can be one of the

1:19

hardest . For some people it

1:22

could be some of the most

1:24

depressing . So

1:26

sit back and hopefully we

1:29

can put a little cheer in your guys'

1:31

spirit and make you laugh

1:33

and again give you guys something to talk

1:35

about . I'm really looking forward to this episode

1:38

about movies and cartoons

1:40

Because , as you know , I'm

1:42

a cartoon fanatic . I'd

1:44

rather watch cartoons than movies or

1:46

plays , and

1:49

I never get tired of them , man , and sometimes

1:51

I see stuff that maybe I got

1:53

up for the bathroom at that exact moment

1:55

. So , and then now I'm catching it and

1:58

I'm like whoa , when did they add that ?

2:00

Especially with the holiday time , there's so

2:02

many cartoons , movies

2:04

, tv shows , specials , everything

2:07

that it just takes you

2:09

back to that time where it was all

2:11

new and magical in the old days , and

2:13

you want to go back to that time , you know .

2:16

Man do I , because they don't even

2:18

make cartoons like that , no more .

2:21

No , you know , hannah Barbera was great

2:23

and sometimes that the old

2:25

like a holiday Christmas specials some

2:28

of those were , and even the movies were terrible

2:31

, but you still watched it and sometimes

2:33

it falls into that category where it's so

2:35

terrible what's funny and enjoyable .

2:38

And you know what else . You may not have

2:40

liked that movie , but if it's

2:42

on TV and in

2:44

the background and

2:46

you see it , it could trigger a memory

2:48

, you know , like , oh man , my grandma

2:51

used to watch all this , and

2:53

or man , my grandpa used to get mad

2:55

that my grandma was watching it , you know

2:57

.

2:57

They'd force you to watch it .

2:59

Right , and then they're like I'm

3:01

never watching that movie again . And then you find yourself

3:03

, as you get older , like

3:06

turning back to that because , yeah

3:08

, those were when times were good .

3:10

You're like you know what . I'm going to make this better . I'm

3:13

going to go get a little bit of alcohol , a little bit of holiday

3:15

cheer , and I'm going to watch this .

3:17

That's the way I'm going to watch it and it's like

3:19

it's a wonderful life .

3:22

Yeah .

3:23

The color version or the black and white . I prefer

3:25

the black and white because that's how it was made .

3:27

Same here .

3:29

Before I start rattling off all these movies and everything

3:31

, let's just , let's just jump right into that stocking

3:33

and start pulling out movies

3:36

and memories . Oh , there's the

3:38

title of the show Movies and memories

3:40

.

3:41

Oh , they're holiday movies and memories . So

3:43

what do you want to start first , cartoons

3:47

.

3:47

Like I told you , it's your show

3:49

this time , man , so this ain't my show

3:51

.

3:52

If this is my show , this studio sucks God

3:54

. I just want to say that right now , look

3:56

it's a mess .

3:57

You got a name tag . You got a name tag

3:59

, oh that's all I got .

4:00

I'm going to look like I'm in a prison or something . This is a

4:02

mess . Hey , wait a minute

4:04

. This

4:07

is my house . No wonder it's a mess . It

4:09

looked familiar . I thought Scott stole all

4:11

my stuff .

4:13

Oh , I could have .

4:14

All right , let's see . Let's start with cartoons

4:17

, christmas cartoons and Christmas specials

4:19

. The first one I'm going to have to

4:21

say is a

4:24

Charlie Brown Christmas , 1965

4:26

.

4:27

OK , this was actually the

4:29

first , I

4:31

think the first appearance of the peanuts

4:33

in a cartoon . It's either that

4:36

or the Great Pumpkin , one of those two

4:38

. It's their first . It's

4:40

their first appearance and CBS

4:42

ate that up , man .

4:44

Yeah , because the

4:46

Charlie Brown Christmas

4:48

. They finished it

4:51

so late , like a week before

4:53

it was going to air and stuff , and the people

4:55

at CBS or whatever didn't like

4:57

it and they said , well , it's too late to change

4:59

, we have to put it on . So they reluctantly put

5:01

it on and it became a number two in

5:04

the rankings , although like behind Bonanza

5:06

or something .

5:07

Always got to be the cartwrights

5:09

.

5:10

I don't know why people were like so focused on that back

5:12

then . I mean , we don't have to have the exact

5:15

order and stuff , we'll just randomly throw

5:17

it . The one thing I don't like about

5:19

Charlie Brown specials and peanuts

5:21

in that , when you look back , is how much

5:23

of a jerk Lucy was .

5:26

But , dude , in the cartoon in the Christmas

5:28

cartoon I do believe that

5:30

she had good old Chuck sign a contract

5:33

and it made it legal that she wouldn't

5:35

pull the football . But then

5:37

, after she still pulled the football

5:39

, she said that she

5:42

wasn't of age to sign a legal document

5:45

.

5:45

So it wasn't notarized or something .

5:47

Right . So yeah , I agree with that .

5:50

Yeah , I mean it's . It's a . It's a great one

5:52

, and the music in it is some of the best cartoon

5:55

or movie music ever .

5:57

You know , I actually have seen

5:59

this recently and

6:02

in some places they actually take

6:04

Linus's speech

6:07

out of the show . But that makes the

6:09

show man it is . You

6:11

have a little feel good moment .

6:14

Yeah , some people like get funny with religion

6:16

and stuff . But you know what , let's

6:18

just all get along and just accept what

6:20

was . You know , it's not that pressing

6:23

, you don't have to freak out at everything

6:25

you know . Right , right , so

6:28

trying to get some damn holiday cheer .

6:32

Try . It involves alcohol .

6:34

What's your next one ?

6:36

So my first one , let's throw

6:38

this out there . It's just

6:40

happened to be real life down the street

6:42

about 10 minutes . Christmas

6:45

story Jean Shepherd .

6:47

Oh , yeah , but .

6:49

I like it because a lot of people think that

6:51

the movie is actually

6:53

filmed at the real house , but it's totally

6:56

not and it doesn't even look like the

6:58

house that's in the movie , which was filmed

7:01

in Cleveland , and also

7:03

like the school scenes . They were

7:05

filmed in St Catherine's , ontario

7:07

, canada .

7:08

Yeah .

7:09

And in the Chinese restaurant . That

7:11

was filmed in Canada . So like almost

7:13

the whole movie was filmed in Canada . But

7:16

in real life , if you drive down

7:18

40 or a Kennedy , you

7:21

got the Jean Shepherd Memorial Center

7:23

. You can still like

7:25

Kately

7:27

took me to see the actual house

7:29

. Because I asked him like hey man , have

7:31

you ever been to the Cleveland Street House ? And he's

7:33

like yeah , and then like

7:35

I was standing out there and I took a picture and the

7:37

guy's like we're taking a picture of my house for

7:39

like okay , calm down , like

7:42

people live there and they don't even realize that

7:44

that's history . Gonna

7:47

have a shotgun on your . On

7:49

the right , your BB gun .

7:52

It's plus that welcome center in Hammond

7:54

.

7:55

Yeah .

7:56

Every year they do the Christmas story with

7:58

you , get take picture taken

8:00

with Santa and they have that like

8:02

Hill . Yeah , the

8:05

they build a hill inside there , yeah

8:07

, with a slide , and it looks just like

8:09

the movie kind of . And you every

8:12

year with Jimmy takes a picture with Santa and then

8:14

he gets to go slide down . I always want to tap

8:16

him on the head with my shoe .

8:19

Oh , you know it's cool about this year the

8:22

cast is getting back together at the welcome

8:24

center on the 15th , so

8:26

Wow , yeah , like Peter Brillensley

8:29

is going to be there , scott

8:31

Farkas is going to be there . The

8:35

Flix bar which is in actually the

8:37

sequel , the real sequel yeah , I mean , there

8:40

was another one when he was like

8:42

15 , but Flix bars only like two or three buildings

8:44

down from where Sean works and

8:47

I always thought that was cool . You

8:49

know they changed the name , just like last year , and

8:53

I'm like why ? Yeah , people don't know the

8:55

history of Flix bar

8:57

, so , but that's , that's

9:02

my number one man , okay .

9:04

And then up next when I got is 1966

9:08

, how the Grinch stole Christmas . All right .

9:11

Man , why don't you stop me , man ? Because I forgot we're talking about cartoons

9:14

. And then I throw in a movie . I said you know what ? Let him

9:16

go . Let him go . Yeah , I

9:20

don't want to say well then , you're going to get to like

9:22

a cartoon movie .

9:23

You're going to go . It's a cartoon , but it was released as a movie . And

9:25

but how ? The Grinch

9:27

is on the show .

9:28

But how , the Grinch is a really good movie , I

9:30

agree , man .

9:33

It's almost like perfect , and

9:35

they redid it a couple of years ago with

9:37

Benedict Cumberbatch as the Grinch .

9:40

I thought that was Jim Carrey .

9:42

No , that was that late 90s

9:45

one . No , this one was a cartoon . Oh

9:47

yeah , yeah , and it's called Grinch or

9:49

something .

9:50

And it's actually decent .

9:51

Oh , it's real good . I like it . But how

9:54

the Grinch stole Christmas , that's pretty much . It

9:57

fills your heart every time you watch it . Does

10:00

it hear Boris , boris Karloff do

10:02

? The narration is just the greatest .

10:04

Does it make your heart grow 10 sizes ?

10:07

Oh it does , and I need it

10:09

where I work . So

10:12

what's your next one ?

10:14

All right , Yogi bears first Christmas

10:16

.

10:17

Wow , I didn't , I didn't have that one .

10:19

Yeah , like Yogi , he's

10:21

trying to hibernate with Boo Boo , but

10:24

the rest of the gang , like Huckleberry

10:26

House Naggo to Auggie

10:28

Doggy , they all go to the

10:31

lodge to celebrate Christmas , and

10:33

it just happens to be above Yogi's cave . So

10:37

you have the thumping of the drums and it

10:40

turns out Yogi starts getting promoted

10:42

in the hotel because he

10:45

just happens to be falling asleep

10:47

and doing something right and saving

10:49

the hotel owner's

10:51

kid . And there's an evil villain

10:53

named Sidely .

10:55

I don't remember . I might have seen it . I can't remember

10:57

.

10:59

I almost could bet you did .

11:00

Okay , the next one is 1964

11:04

. So I guess it was before Charlie Brown , rudolph

11:07

the Red Nose Reindeer .

11:09

Rankin' Bass .

11:10

Yes .

11:12

See , I got the whole Rankin' Bass

11:15

series because you can't

11:17

just . There's so many of them .

11:20

Yeah , you could categorize that , because that's

11:22

a lot of them on my list here . One

11:25

thing I've noticed later in life about

11:27

that , rudolph , is that how

11:29

Donner and Santa are jerks .

11:32

Yeah , how they whoa , I mean his

11:34

own family . You're like I'll put

11:36

the coal on .

11:38

Here hide hide what you are . It's like

11:40

that doesn't age very well .

11:42

No man that's not in this society this

11:44

year .

11:45

And then Santa goes oh , dang it

11:47

, donner . He was good until we

11:49

found out about his nose . He flew the best

11:52

. Well , that didn't change how he flies , right

11:54

, right . And then at the end , oh , we

11:56

need help . We need help . Santa's like who could

11:58

help me ? Oh , rudolph . Well , if

12:00

I was Rudolph I would have said F you .

12:04

Man , I agree , I am more .

12:06

You didn't care about me . Then you drove me to some

12:08

island and stuff . Forget it , Santa .

12:10

Of misfit toys .

12:11

I almost died and then you didn't care .

12:14

I had to ride a whale's back with

12:16

like a big time clock on

12:18

it .

12:19

No , that was the other one .

12:21

Oh see , they all tie in together , man

12:23

.

12:23

No , Rudolph also has

12:25

what Yukon

12:27

Cornelius does to the bumble .

12:30

Oh yeah , yeah , he rips his teeth out .

12:31

That's fricking nuts . That's nuts if you're thinking about

12:34

it . Oh , we're going to fix him , and just what

12:36

a psycho .

12:38

Or how about how he's always sniffing things ? He's like cold

12:41

.

12:41

Yeah , he's like picking up snow and sniffing it . I'm

12:43

like you , better watch . Make sure they eat yellow , you idiot .

12:45

Right right , bumble's hanging out . You know , like

12:48

man that's got to be a little puddle there .

12:50

Bumble's poop .

12:53

But yeah , man , I agree , you can't

12:55

go wrong with any of those .

12:57

No .

12:58

Speaking of rank and bass , the little

13:00

drummer boy .

13:02

Yeah .

13:03

The original , not the . They had two

13:05

versions One where the donkey died

13:07

.

13:08

Oh yeah .

13:09

And then one where the donkey's fine

13:11

, you know , but man , that's rough

13:13

dude .

13:14

Dude , that little drummer boy , is one of the

13:16

saddest things you'll ever see .

13:18

Man , they had to get the bells , they had to

13:21

like , like he had to do a lot

13:23

, you know , and they got like Greer Garcin

13:25

narrating and stuff .

13:26

She has that holy voice

13:29

kind of and she's like he hated

13:31

everyone , all people . He

13:33

did not like them . It's

13:36

because in the beginning oh , they edit

13:38

it now they won't pull it on TV because the bad

13:40

people in the movie In the beginning they

13:42

call them the Desert Bandits or something .

13:44

Oh , yeah , yeah , the thieves and all that yeah

13:46

.

13:47

They like throw a knife and stab his father

13:49

and then like kill his mother and burn the

13:51

whole place , and then they kidnap him and still I'm

13:54

like what the hell is this ?

13:55

Yeah , some stuff is like really crazy

13:58

. Back in the day , man , you know , I'm like whoa

14:00

mom and then he's .

14:01

Even when he sees Jesus , he's like I hate everybody

14:04

, I didn't bring a gift , ugh .

14:07

But then the song that gets

14:09

me the most . I'm

14:12

just saying it's because songs , songs

14:14

will be next week , but little

14:17

drummer , boy man , and it's the

14:19

.

14:19

By the Harry Simone choir .

14:21

Yeah , that's

14:23

the one that gets me man .

14:25

Yeah , I get to . If I'm by myself

14:27

or around Christmas at

14:29

home , I'll start crying at that song that gets

14:31

me tear jerking .

14:33

You know , I have like a really deep

14:35

reason why that song like

14:37

tears at me .

14:39

Save it for next week .

14:40

I am , I am .

14:41

So everybody can cry together .

14:43

Get your Kleenex ready . I'm pretelling

14:46

you now , all right , so for my

14:48

next one I got

14:50

. It's a Hannah

14:52

Barber classic . It's

14:54

called Twas the Night Before

14:56

Christmas . And it's

14:58

where they build this big

15:01

clock tower To sing

15:03

for Santa , so Santa can hear it and

15:05

rejoice that everybody's like

15:07

Santa . Santa , da

15:09

, da , da da . But then you got the smartass

15:12

mouse named Oliver , who , like

15:14

, who like , digs in and destroys

15:16

the tower .

15:17

Oh yeah , I remember that .

15:18

And then Santa's like well , screw you all , I'm

15:20

ignoring your whole city .

15:22

Right here , buddy .

15:23

And they showed the kids in the hospital and

15:25

the orphanages and they weren't

15:27

getting nothing , you know

15:29

.

15:30

It was awesome because of a mouse .

15:32

Right , right . So then he rebuilt it

15:34

and it was great . So then

15:36

the little Santa came floating around and

15:39

I guess oh , now I'm calm , right

15:42

Right .

15:43

Is that where the mouse sings even and

15:45

miracle needs a hand ?

15:47

Yes , yes , do

15:49

, do , do , do do .

15:51

Oh my God , that's . That's crazy if you start

15:53

watching that when you're older . Ok

15:56

, the next one I got is Frosty

16:00

the Snowman , 1969

16:02

.

16:03

OK , so the original . Yeah

16:05

, when that

16:07

?

16:07

that's a really good one man there's a lot

16:09

of them , that magician , like as

16:11

the bad guy or something , and he wants that hat , he

16:13

wants his hat back .

16:15

Yeah and he chases . They put Frosty hops

16:17

on a train and he starts melting

16:20

. And then they got a yeah it's

16:22

. And then he does melt , so like

16:24

yeah .

16:26

I don't like how that magician like kidnaps that

16:28

little girl and stuff in the greenhouse , right

16:30

In the rabbit goes and helps . Yeah

16:32

, that doesn't add , that doesn't age well

16:34

either . Scary

16:36

. What the heck man Back

16:38

in the and I got a . I got a Frosty scenario

16:40

for you .

16:41

OK .

16:42

OK , he has a magic hat , right

16:45

, correct , and he comes to life

16:47

. So if I built two snowmen

16:49

right next to each other and I put

16:51

the hat on one and it's Frosty , if

16:53

I take the hat off and put it on the other one , is it

16:55

still that Frosty or is it a new Frosty

16:58

?

16:59

I don't know . All I know is you'll hear

17:01

happy birthday

17:03

, yeah .

17:04

And if I build a snow dog and I put the

17:06

hat on the snow on the dog , is it going to be Frosty's

17:09

again or is it like another , a

17:11

new character or something ?

17:12

And Frosty actually has a hookup because they

17:14

put like a bonnet on her head and

17:16

she , she , she like marries

17:19

in with them .

17:20

I never seen any of these magic hats .

17:22

They got little icicles running around .

17:26

So what you got for the next

17:28

one .

17:29

All right , so this is one of my

17:31

favorites to the bear who slept through

17:33

Christmas .

17:35

OK .

17:36

Again , I do believe it is Hannah Barbera

17:38

. The

17:40

bear wants to get adopted

17:43

because he's in the toy store . And

17:46

then he gets locked in the toy store and

17:49

so the girl screams

17:52

, crying to her dad and her bear is there

17:54

and she wants to bear . And the

17:56

bear , like , ends up falling

17:58

asleep under the tree , makes it

18:00

back to the apartment , falls asleep . Santa

18:02

wakes it up . Dude , it's really a touching . It's

18:06

got some fun points in it , but

18:08

then it's got some like heart

18:11

tuggers on it too . Man , all this stuff

18:13

has heart tuggers on it .

18:15

It's either they're traumatizing you or it's like the most

18:17

sentimental thing ever .

18:18

Right , I agree , I agree . So I absolutely love

18:21

that one .

18:23

Next , I got a year

18:25

without a Santa Claus .

18:27

Another rank and best yeah .

18:29

With the heat miser and the snow miser .

18:32

I missed the freeze . Yeah , yeah

18:34

.

18:35

Two brothers at fight .

18:37

Yeah , they have to go get their

18:40

mother mother nature .

18:44

I forget man , but Like

18:46

Santa's sick or he doesn't want to do Christmas

18:49

, he's sick . And then

18:51

a Mrs Claus , send those two

18:53

elves , jingle and jangle , to go help .

18:56

I'm Donner , I think yeah , and

18:58

he's too weak and it's too hot and

19:03

yeah

19:05

, that's a . That's a good one too . Man , again

19:08

, rank and best . They

19:10

did some incredible stuff and

19:13

mostly they have a rank and best , and mostly

19:15

they have a rank and best hand , but

19:19

they did good . You know what man ? They

19:22

popped up on eBay a couple of the actual

19:24

figures . Really , yeah

19:27

, it was Santa , but he was broken , but

19:29

the guy didn't carry , he was a puppeteer , so he was going

19:31

to put them back together . And then

19:33

he bought a Rudolph who was missing the leg . Dude

19:37

, they paid like six grand for both of them , man

19:40

.

19:41

I got that much money .

19:42

But if I had it and I loved it that much , that

19:44

would be amazing that you

19:46

got the TV , the like , the

19:49

real , not , no , not yeah .

19:52

What you got for one .

19:53

Next one All right , this

19:55

is my all time

19:57

favorite cartoon for Christmas

19:59

. Oh , it's from 1980 . It's

20:03

a our gang Christmas

20:05

special oh .

20:06

I remember that one .

20:08

Yeah , all they want is a blue comet

20:10

train and

20:12

the mother wants a coat . Or they

20:14

they want to get their mom a coat , marry

20:17

a coat , and the mom wants to get the

20:19

kids a blue comet , because the kids

20:21

overheard that she was getting a blue

20:23

comet but she was talking about the

20:25

vacuum cleaner . You

20:28

know . So , like the boys , porcupine , spanky

20:30

, you are telling the whole club

20:32

that they were getting a blue comet and

20:35

then in the end it gets stolen . And

20:38

so Santa Claus is like are you kids

20:40

? I know , you're old man , you

20:43

know , and so he , he

20:45

, he made the . The bullies bring

20:47

it in to their . They're trying

20:49

to just raise money for your mom , you

20:52

know . So I just watched

20:54

this again last night . I probably watched this one

20:56

like eight times , a like a

20:58

season , and it's on the

21:00

. You can't find it anywhere

21:03

.

21:04

Yeah .

21:04

But if you look up like a app

21:06

for daily motion , it's

21:09

there the whole cart .

21:10

The whole cartoon is there like all

21:12

cartoon , unless you have it on VHS

21:14

or a DVD from years ago

21:16

.

21:17

I got it . I got it on video , man . It came

21:19

from Canada Very expensive .

21:22

Because they don't . They don't play those little rascals

21:24

our gang stuff anymore . A lot of them .

21:26

The thing that made that one special is Darla

21:29

. That was her last like

21:32

voice over the original Stymie

21:35

. It was his last role

21:38

and it was Spanky's

21:40

last cartoon to be with them

21:42

. Ok , yeah

21:46

, that one means a lot to me , man , and

21:48

I just like the whole , the whole story

21:50

, and they actually had a happy ending . You already

21:53

died . Nobody got kidnapped , just

21:56

the blue comic got stolen .

21:58

Next one I got is Santa Claus is coming

22:01

to town .

22:02

Right as far as I guess .

22:04

Yeah , Fred Astaire is the narrator . Burger

22:07

Meisters in it .

22:09

Oh , what's his name ? Air Meister

22:11

, burger Meister , or something .

22:13

Yeah , a Burger Meister . Oh

22:17

, then it has Santa's future

22:19

wife like Jessica . Yeah that

22:22

redhead lady .

22:23

She was looking at things I agree

22:25

.

22:25

Oh my God , I was like as

22:27

a kid . I was like whoa , this chick is like

22:29

hot .

22:30

Right , right , you know in the

22:32

winter warlock the crazy

22:34

thing about that is his

22:36

robot army . You

22:38

know they . They were a little

22:40

bit crazy , scary

22:43

.

22:43

And then the one thing I don't like about that Santa Claus

22:45

is coming to town . You want to talk about

22:47

not aging ? Well , there's stuff in

22:50

that cartoon they have a sit on , sit

22:52

on Santa's lap song . You

22:56

remember that they were like if

22:58

you want , if you want a gift

23:00

today , a kiss on Santa's lap

23:02

is what you have to pay .

23:03

Wow .

23:04

I'm going to get it Go . I mean , that's , that's creepy . If

23:06

you think about it , you know you want to , you want to gift kid

23:08

. You got to kiss Santa and sit on his lap . It's like

23:10

what ? Uh-oh

23:13

, stranger danger .

23:16

The one thing I like in in that is the

23:19

penguin , not

23:21

, not , not Batman's , it isn't

23:24

a popper or something like that .

23:26

Yeah , popper .

23:27

Yeah , yeah , I like , I like the little

23:30

animals in there . Man , it's like the house .

23:32

It's how Santa started to like go

23:34

through his traditions and stuff sneaking

23:37

into the houses to give gifts .

23:39

Again sneaking into the houses

23:41

because he sees you when you're sleeping

23:44

over there . He sees you when

23:46

you're sleeping .

23:48

Some of the stuff is creepy . What's

23:50

your next one ?

23:52

Of Casper's Christmas . Ah

23:55

, and what that is is

23:57

a Hanna Barbera again . Man , it was a

23:59

Yogi Bear in the gang .

24:02

They're all about . Hanna Barbera .

24:03

They stop at this house but

24:06

the house is haunted and

24:08

Casper wants to experience Christmas

24:11

. But Casper's three

24:13

uncles don't want to experience Christmas

24:15

and they don't like all the holiday decorations

24:18

, and so they they

24:20

try to battle with the ogie through

24:23

the first First

24:25

15 minutes . It's only like 22

24:27

minutes long . So , yeah , yeah

24:29

, it's good man , it's the old Casper cartoon

24:32

, not the CGI Casper , it's

24:34

good stuff .

24:36

Was the voice different or no ?

24:38

when they changed the voice of Casper , no

24:40

, no , it is like

24:42

all the rich that was weird when they started changing

24:45

it . Yeah , yeah . How about

24:47

you , man ? What's next ?

24:49

I got Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas

24:51

.

24:51

Oh man , that's a good one too .

24:54

I can Jim Henson's company .

24:56

Yeah , it tells a tale and I think that came out

24:58

in 83 .

25:00

Yeah .

25:00

You know it tells a tale and

25:03

they want to get my coat like the gift of

25:05

the Magi tail . Right

25:07

, right , and they want to get their mama coat

25:09

. So it's like a , a

25:12

rock band Tournament

25:15

, a battle of the bands , and

25:17

and the evil guy , the boss

25:19

, is a snake , and and and

25:21

yeah , he wants to like the River

25:23

Bottom Nightmare Band . Have

25:26

you ever seen the bloopers for for Emmett

25:28

Otter ? No dude

25:30

, you got go on YouTube and it's actually I got

25:32

to watch that it's actually some

25:34

funny scenes , that

25:37

Jim Henson and that they're

25:39

like tired and they just

25:42

started being like Crazy with

25:44

some of these little puppets and

25:46

doing the voices and it

25:48

was pretty .

25:48

They were like improvising .

25:50

Yes , but it totally

25:52

Didn't have anything to do with what

25:54

you saw . Like it's mad

25:57

because somebody One of the puppets

25:59

that was just standing there on the side the

26:01

puppets just falls over . So Emmett's

26:04

mad because he has to do like a retake

26:06

. It's some funny

26:08

stuff , man , and I love that you

26:11

get to see Kermit make a cameo

26:13

appearance in it . But yeah , it's

26:15

really good , I enjoy it . Fred Flintstones

26:17

Christmas man that's a good one . Where

26:20

everybody gets the flu . Fred Flintstone

26:22

plays like Ebony's or Scrooge and

26:24

Wilma's really mad at him because

26:26

he keeps dipping out and all

26:28

he wants to do is get the presents , but then

26:31

the department store closes . That

26:33

that one's a really good one . Fred does

26:35

really good . It's just basically him and Wilma

26:37

taking over the cast because again

26:39

, everybody's sick .

26:41

But do they call it a Christmas special on the Flintstones

26:43

? I think it's a friend's Flintstones Christmas

26:45

Carol but that confuses kids , because

26:47

how can , how can there be Christmas

26:49

if it's like the Stone Age , it's before

26:52

Jesus ? What are you

26:54

celebrating ? Bread .

26:56

Oh , they got a tree and I got lights and

26:58

it was before they should have called it .

27:00

They should have called it the Flintstones pagan

27:02

special .

27:05

Why not , man ? I'll start calling it that now how

27:07

about you .

27:08

The next one I got is a nester

27:11

, the long-eared donkey . You remember that one .

27:13

Is that another rank ?

27:14

and bass . Yeah , donkey

27:16

that's where that long-eared donkey like carries

27:18

Mary .

27:19

His ears kept Mary Saved

27:22

like a sandstorm .

27:23

Yeah , the mother like protects him

27:25

and then the mother dies in the beginning and

27:28

then pretty much nester gets with Mary

27:30

in that and yeah , the ears protect Mary

27:32

and stuff . It's a little bit sad in the beginning you

27:35

think ? Okay , here's one closer to your , uh

27:37

. The last one . I got it for your , uh . What's

27:39

it called Mr Magoo's Christmas special ?

27:41

27:45

like he's walking all over

27:47

the place can't see anything yeah

27:49

definitely wring old coins

27:51

that jingle . Yeah

27:55

, man , that , that's things about razzleberry

27:57

or something . That's all like good

27:59

stuff , man . It's been , it's , don't

28:02

28:04

and all the big lights and he's

28:06

on a theater . Yeah

performing as ebony's or man

28:11

. What year did that come out ?

28:12

Yeah , no , I

No , no , we can cover . Uh , yeah

30:07

, check it out . I mean , a lot of people in other

30:09

countries haven't even heard about that . But

30:11

then , until like recently , you

30:14

know , within the last couple years , it's growing

30:16

big in canada and people

30:18

seem to be enjoying it . Because , uh , on the

30:20

survey that we did , uh

30:22

, it's popping up on a lot

30:24

of the , the responses . So

30:28

I'm happy to see , after 83 , 1983

30:31

. I also , I got a little trivia

30:33

question for you . So

30:35

the guy who played old man , okay , uh , mcdermond , uh , I

30:38

forget where it is . Uh , gavin

30:40

, uh , Darren

30:43

mcgavin . Yeah , yeah , that's it . Did

30:46

you know that he wasn't the first choice for the movie ? I

30:48

heard something like that . Who were the ?

30:50

others .

30:52

Oh , it's basically the only one person . It was jack Nicholson , so

30:55

imagine him as the old man . I

30:58

couldn't . You know , and ralfie wasn't supposed

31:01

to be peter brillensley , they

31:04

will . Weaton tried out from star track

31:06

. And

31:08

, uh , one more , one more famous

31:10

kid , and I forget it was like brad pitt as a kid , you

31:14

know , but they went with peter Because

31:16

he looked more like them . So but

31:18

that's my , my little trivia , it's weird picket

31:20

of anybody else . I'm

31:23

not gonna just start jumping all over and uh

31:26

, like I always do . So what do you got man ? What

31:28

do you got man ?

31:29

Okay , my number one would have to

31:31

be it's a wonderful life black and

31:33

white , or color or don't matter . Black

31:35

and white man . You have to be black and white

31:37

.

31:38

Mary , mary Like

31:41

Mary . That story

31:43

is so good because oh

31:45

it's great .

31:46

Well it's .

31:47

It's literally a dark movie , like if you think

31:49

about the whole thing as a whole he

31:51

loses his job , gets accused

31:54

of stealing money yeah , he

31:56

was gonna commit suicide , but

31:58

he turned everything around , you

32:00

know . So , like this movie really

32:03

hits home not for me personally

32:06

, but I could see where that

32:08

movie hits a lot of people

32:10

because , like I said at the beginning

32:12

, man , Chris is what everybody goes through a lot

32:14

exactly people like christmas

32:16

for the wrong reasons . It's not about

32:19

if you're christian , if it's not

32:21

all about jesus . It's not about gifts

32:23

, it's about being with family

32:25

or just loved ones . Sitting

32:27

back and watching a movie with them is like

32:30

perfect .

32:30

Yeah , it's almost like a Thanksgiving runoff

32:32

kind of feeling . We're like just look around and

32:35

be thankful for what you have and that you You're

32:37

with family and stuff .

32:39

Thousand percent agree , man wasn't ?

32:41

uh , what's his name in that movie ? Alphalpha

32:43

the kid who played Al yeah , Alphalpha

32:45

.

32:45

Yeah , schwartz is his last name

32:47

, and that was right before he got murdered .

32:49

Yeah , no kidding , he was in the dance , uh

32:51

, the dance party , where the pool , the the floor

32:53

moved and he opened up . The floor opened up

32:55

.

32:55

Yeah , he opened it up he thought it'd be funny . But

32:58

yeah , I think a year after that he got

33:00

killed man , he got robbed and killed . Good

33:02

times .

33:02

You want to know if . What's crazy is that my , my

33:04

33:18

33:25

it , but then I watched it and I'm like wow

33:27

33:28

Yeah , I mean , the ending is just one of

33:30

the greatest endings in cinema history people

33:32

have .

33:33

I don't want to spoil it , but Even

33:36

though it was made in , like what 40s ? Because

33:38

Jim's 43 .

33:39

I think or .

33:40

Yeah , I mean , stuart was a

33:43

young guy in that movie , so uh

33:45

, I just hear him , yeah , he just served .

33:47

He served in uh .

33:48

Air force in a war .

33:50

And then he came back and his first

33:52

, his scene where he kissed , uh , donna reed

33:54

when she was on the phone . That

33:56

was the first time he kissed a woman like on

33:58

screen since the war and that and I

34:00

guess they had to edit it down because

34:02

he was just getting so passionate with the kiss and stuff

34:05

. It was all

34:07

built up and stuff from saving the country you

34:09

go , jimmy Stewart .

34:12

All right , man , how about this one ? This is a

34:14

, this is a classic . Let's

34:16

go with , uh , national ampoules . Christmas

34:18

vacation with chevy chase . I

34:21

do believe this was 87

34:23

. It's the no 87

34:26

, 88 . Google it , man , and as you

34:28

google it I'll tell about it . But this

34:30

is a the third in the series

34:32

of the movies . The first was vacation

34:35

and the european vacation , then christmas

34:37

vacation really , really

34:39

memorable stuff in this movie . I'm

34:42

not a chevy chase fan at all , but

34:44

I love these movies 1989

34:46

. Okay , so I was . I was a year off

34:48

, two years , okay , but

34:50

you know the , the old lady in

34:53

the movie . It's his aunt

34:55

and and they asked her to say grace

34:57

, yes , like grace . Do you know who that

34:59

lady is ? Man ?

35:00

Yes , I do .

35:01

She actually , for those that don't that

35:03

she was the original voice for olive

35:05

oil on poppy and betty boo

35:08

, so I think that was really cool

35:10

, and then she died like a

35:12

year after being . That was her

35:14

last on screen role . I forget what her

35:16

name is her name is uh may questel

35:19

questel right , right , and

35:21

you know From randy quade

35:23

, chevy chase , uh

35:25

, and they changed the kids again in that

35:27

movie it was . It was a really

35:30

Really good movie and I

35:32

, I love it . It had such funny moments

35:35

on it and yeah , I got something for you .

35:37

Okay do you know that the character , the

35:39

, the mad scientist who builds a

35:54

sally and the other uh character and

35:56

she puts the voice actor .

35:58

All right , that's pretty cool . I didn't

36:00

know that , as my wife says , she

36:02

don't want me to know any of this stuff because it's

36:04

useless Knowledge that I keep trying to throw

36:07

on them . And it's just like no , no , no , don't

36:09

, don't tell me any of that stuff . But , yes

36:11

36:12

Christmas vacation is great because you

36:14

always , uh , when cousin eddie comes up

36:16

like invites himself over and stuff , everybody

36:19

who listening can . Real I can understand

36:21

clark , because you always had that family

36:23

member that just comes over to a Christmas

36:25

party or something and you have to deal with that person

36:28

.

36:28

Spitter's full clark . You

36:55

on the ice and he puts tiny tim up

36:57

on his shoulder . I don't know if that's the 1938

37:00

Uh version .

37:02

Yeah , there were several . There was like a 1984

37:04

with george c scott .

37:05

There was patrick stewart . There was , uh

37:07

, henry winkler . Yeah , there's

37:09

like I think that movie has to be one of

37:11

the most remade movies ever

37:13

. Fred flinstone yeah , oh

37:16

my god .

37:18

Which where do you got for another one ?

37:19

All right . So how about this one ? This

37:21

is popped up and uh , home

37:23

alone . Okay , mccally caulkin

37:26

. He keeps , uh , somehow ending

37:28

up on , like other airplanes , going

37:30

totally opposite direction in the states

37:33

, and and ended up in new york

37:35

where he faces joe peshy . Yeah

37:37

, and uh , uh , what's his

37:39

name ? Uh , um

37:42

, I keep wanting to say stewart

37:44

is narrate .

37:46

He narrated the wonder years , or something .

37:48

Yeah , see , I come here with half

37:50

the knowledge . Uh

37:53

, but well , that's us . Half

37:57

the podcast , half the knowledge

37:59

.

38:04

And my Wi-Fi is acting up right now .

38:09

Daniel Stern . That's

38:11

it , and you

38:13

know like they remake . I

38:15

think there's eight homologons now

38:17

and Eight

38:21

. Yeah , yeah .

38:23

How can there be eight ?

38:25

It's not with Macaulay Calkin . One of them has

38:27

his little brother on it and

38:30

then , yeah , they just keep making

38:32

it and it's like burning it

38:34

out . So but

38:36

check out the original . That's the only one that

38:38

I truly like . I don't like to , don't

38:41

like three , four , five , six , seven

38:43

, but

38:45

what do you got man .

38:49

I'm up at Christmas Carol , going off the

38:51

whole Christmas Carol thing .

38:54

You know what ?

38:57

1983 Michael Okay .

38:59

I love this , this

39:01

it's . It's really good . It's not

39:03

long . Yeah , you

39:07

can't go wrong with Jim Henson .

39:08

So we're

39:12

the mice in there like Dickensian looking

39:14

mice .

39:15

Right , right , yeah , you

39:17

can't .

39:19

It's all . It's all time period like .

39:21

Yeah , you can't . You can't go

39:23

wrong with that . What

39:27

else this

39:29

one's controversial man , I'm

39:32

sure by me just saying that you'll know

39:34

what I'm saying Die

39:36

hard .

39:37

I know what you're going to say . I knew it .

39:39

Yeah , die hard . People say

39:41

that's a great . One

39:44

of the surveys said that there's more Christmas

39:46

than die hard , than white castle or

39:49

white Christmas , not white castle . That's

39:55

not true . I

39:57

just you know I

39:59

can't see myself snuggling up with

40:01

the family watching the hippie

40:03

kiai Santa Claus . I

40:05

can't do it , man . I

40:07

can't say it's a Christmas movie , but people

40:10

do .

40:10

Yeah , because it understood

40:13

that it takes place right

40:15

at Christmas but

40:17

or Christmas Eve Christmas but

40:19

a lot of movies do that to where I

40:21

categorize other movies for being on Thanksgiving

40:24

or another holiday

40:26

Halloween , but

40:30

it just doesn't matter . There's other arguments

40:32

you can make , worse than when , if die

40:34

hard is really a Christmas movie .

40:36

Right , and don't the second one take

40:38

place around Christmas time , to really

40:41

stop hanging out .

40:42

Yeah , the airport

40:44

with a blizzard or something .

40:45

What do you get ?

40:46

I got all right . My

40:48

last in the trilogy of a Christmas Carol

40:51

is the movie Scrooge with

40:53

Bill Murray .

40:54

Good , good movie man . I haven't seen it in

40:56

a long time , but that is a

40:58

that is a good one .

41:00

That's a funny one .

41:01

You know , with Bill , with Bill Murray

41:03

, you can't go wrong .

41:05

No , he had so many hits from

41:07

the 80s and 90s just back to back to back

41:09

to back to back . It was a crazy .

41:11

And so why not throw him in as a Scrooge

41:14

? Yeah or

41:16

Scrooge , what do you got ? How

41:18

about Alicia Silverstone

41:20

and

41:23

Vince Vaughn in Four Christmases

41:25

?

41:25

You know what I got that ? I got that

41:27

as a gift , a DVD gift on

41:30

Christmas , and I never watched it . It

41:32

just like got thrown with the other thousands

41:34

of DVDs I have .

41:35

It's funny , it touches like

41:38

. It's kind of like you're married

41:40

and I am , and at the time , like

41:42

each , each set of parents , to each

41:44

other , but right , right . Each

41:46

set of parent was divorced , so like

41:49

they'd have to go to his mom's house

41:51

for Christmas and his dad's house

41:53

at somewhere else , and then her house

41:55

, her moms and her dad's , you

41:57

know like it's . It's really good

42:00

man , it's a really good romcom . Actually

42:02

, I'm not a big Vince Vaughn fan , but

42:04

this movie is really good . So

42:07

guys check it out .

42:08

I heard . It's very funny , and now everybody's

42:10

screaming that we've got this far down the list . As

42:13

, as we said , we're not going to say

42:15

that we have them in order , but elf

42:17

.

42:18

That just popped into my head . So we're on the same sheet

42:20

of music here , and and Ralphie is in

42:22

that movie too .

42:23

For the Will Ferrell .

42:24

Yeah , and Ralphie , and and

42:26

, uh , bob Newhart .

42:29

And uh was that as near as Chris Anna .

42:31

Yeah , Well , that was a really good

42:33

it's a really good cast and that was 2003

42:38

. I think that was .

42:40

Oh , uh , what's his name ? Oh

42:42

, who plays his , uh , his

42:45

real dad , buddy the elf's real dad

42:47

? Oh , dang it , I'm . Oh , I can't believe

42:49

I'm forgetting his name Again .

42:51

Oh , Michael . No , it's not Michael Cain .

42:53

No , I could think of his son's name , but not his

42:55

. Gosh dang it . This is embarrassing

42:58

42:59

It's embarrassing . Dang it Again

43:01

43:03

Cahn .

43:04

43:07

.

43:07

I mean you had Zoe DeCionnell in there . She's

43:10

gorgeous .

43:11

Where her voice in that I didn't think

43:13

she could sing that good I was . When I first saw it I

43:15

was like holy crap , she sings real good .

43:18

And I think this is one of a famous

43:20

person , Peter Dinklage . I think it's one

43:22

of his first movies , you know , because

43:25

we weren't allowed to see . That's

43:27

one of the funniest scenes ever Getting mad and

43:29

walking across the table .

43:33

Oh , that's so funny .

43:34

Well , man , so many peoples in this

43:36

Lange , peter Dinklage , ed

43:41

Asner , zoe , bob , newhart , cahn

43:44

43:50

No , not Jim Carrey .

43:51

But they said , jim Carrey is in it somewhere

43:54

.

43:54

Something's wrong with your Google .

46:28

Bernie Max . Yes , that is John Ritter's

46:30

last movie .

46:31

I thought he would be dead before that .

46:33

That's what makes it so sad to see in that movie . No

46:35

, he died right after that movie . That's what's so

46:38

tragic .

46:38

That's crazy man .

46:40

All right , we can move on to do you want

46:42

live Christmas specials and TV specials

46:47

, tv specials . Go ahead , man .

46:49

All right , I only got two of them . The

46:51

one that is the best , one , which I

46:54

think has to be watched every year , is the

46:56

Twilight Zone , season

46:58

two , episode 11 , it's called Night of the Meek

47:00

. Oh , I've never heard of this . Oh

47:03

, it's with . Art Carney plays the drunk Santa Claus

47:05

, I think .

47:06

I might have seen that , and the store owner's

47:08

voice .

47:10

He does the voice for Piglet on all the Winnie

47:13

the Pooh cartoons . The old voice .

47:15

Oh , the old G of the Pooh .

47:18

But Night of the Meek , it's such

47:20

a it's like it's a wonderful life and

47:23

all those others where it is so it'll

47:25

bring you to tears at the end . It's like real

47:27

good where this drunk Santa just is

47:30

just at the bottom of his life and

47:32

then all of a sudden , christmas magic .

47:35

Season two . You said Episode 11 . I

47:38

like Art Carney , so , yeah , it

47:40

is such a good one . You

47:42

know what we forgot on movies ? What Miracle

47:45

on 34th Street with Natalie

47:47

Wood . I mean

47:49

that's a huge one . Oh yeah , I can you know

47:51

, some people get mad because

47:53

Santa bought her a house , like

47:55

like , go to , here's the magazine picture

47:58

. And then she's like , oh , mom

48:00

48:02

48:04

48:06

48:38

with a Christmas story All the snow

49:35

. You know , I'm in the desert .

49:37

I was saving your life .

49:39

I was making Sandman because

49:41

there was no snow , but

49:44

I'll check it out . You said season nine

49:46

, episode 10 . Yes , all right

49:48

.

49:49

Jerry Stiller . George's dad is

49:51

the one who is fed up with

49:53

the holidays and he invents a Festivus

49:56

poll to go against Christmas

49:58

.

49:58

I'm not a big Jerry Stiller fan

50:01

. Like in Kings and

50:03

Queens . He's in there and I'm like I'm

50:06

not watching him because he's in it . So I watched

50:08

the later episodes .

50:10

Aw man , you

50:12

got another TV Christmas episode

50:14

.

50:15

This one is more on

50:17

YouTube , but it was on TV

50:19

in Canada . It's called Tree Venge

50:21

.

50:22

Okay .

50:22

It's where . And this one has

50:24

Jonathan Tornes . So the whole concept

50:27

is the trees get tired of

50:29

getting their kids chopped down

50:31

and family being chopped down

50:34

, and so the trees come to life

50:36

and then they go to the town and they start

50:38

killing everybody and chopping them down . It's

50:41

the craziest thing you've ever seen

50:43

, man . What J-Rock Jonathan

50:45

Tornes is J-Rock . That's funny , yeah , and

50:48

there's some violent deaths in this Dude . You

50:50

gotta see it , man . Tree

50:52

Venge , wow . And that ends

50:54

my TV show .

50:57

That's pretty much my TVs too , Do you want to ?

50:58

count Bob , the last category I have . That's what I was getting to Okay

51:00

.

51:03

The last one was live Christmas

51:06

specials , slash celebrity Christmas specials and

51:09

for the young kids that don't know this , back

51:11

in the 60s and 70s and some 80s , celebrities

51:15

would have these variety shows

51:17

or Christmas specials and

51:20

they would have all kinds of different guests from

51:22

Hollywood or music you can bring that

51:24

back and our .

51:25

You could bring it back to the 40s . Yeah , they should

51:27

, because

51:29

that's when the USAF took

51:32

place . And yeah , bob hopes

51:34

like the big one that started all that .

51:36

Yeah , and pretty much our grandparents

51:38

and parents . Well , they had to sit and

51:40

watch our parents , but our grandparents love

51:42

watching those variety shows and Bob

51:45

hopes always has almost

51:47

a lot of times he would go on tour with

51:51

the army and then he would come and then he would do

51:53

the Christmas specials for TVs and that too

51:55

.

51:55

And I think he did that for from

51:58

World War II all

52:00

the way up through the Korean War , up

52:02

through Vietnam , yeah , and

52:05

I think the last one he did was for Desert

52:07

Storm in the 90s . Yeah

52:09

, so , man , the dude did it for like 50

52:11

years .

52:12

His Christmas special in 1993

52:14

, it was called Bag Full of Christmas

52:16

Miracles . That is one of the saddest

52:19

and uncomfortable ones

52:21

to watch , because Bob

52:23

hopefully he looks like he's like

52:25

he died 10 years earlier . He's

52:29

like out of it and stuff . His

52:31

wife and them dressed him like Jack Frost and

52:34

he's like I'm

52:36

Jack Frost and it's like real bad

52:38

.

52:39

And he uses the same jokes from like the

52:41

40s . You know he's telling me , he's telling jokes His

52:43

wife's doing the singing , but she's there .

52:45

It looks like they just propped him up and it's just . It's

52:48

one of those that it's so bad . You got to watch it

52:50

and just laugh at it .

52:52

You know , when I got put overseas

52:54

to Somalia again

52:56

, they said the celebrity

52:59

show was coming and I'm like Bob Hope

53:01

man , I could finally meet Bob Hope . You know , and

53:05

you know what ? I didn't get Bob Hope that

53:07

year or the year after . Guess who

53:09

I got ? Who Mickey

53:11

Frickin' Gilly , the country

53:13

singer ? Who , Mickey Gilly ? I

53:15

don't know who that is , and my job

53:18

was actually to help set up the stage

53:20

for him .

53:21

And yeah , he was anybody else with him .

53:23

No , just him , but he . He

53:25

is famous country singer

53:27

man and his restaurants and

53:30

a lot of his bar is

53:32

in a lot of like like

53:34

, like Clint Eastwood movies . It's

53:36

called Gillies . And guess what man ? The

53:38

next year I was in Haiti and guess who

53:40

came ? Mickey Frickin' Gilly

53:43

, I can't .

53:45

Oh , my God .

53:46

And guess what I had to do ? Oh , I had to

53:48

set up stage because he remembered me

53:50

. So he's like , hey , can you help

53:52

me this year ? And I'm like , oh

53:54

man , I'm with Mickey .

53:56

That's hilarious .

53:57

But yeah , he's like a famous man he's up

53:59

to with , like Kenny Rogers and everything else

54:02

. I think he's still living .

54:04

But we should try to get him on the podcast .

54:07

Dude . I don't even think he knows how to

54:09

get on the Internet .

54:10

Remember me and you'll be like remember me and

54:12

he'll be like who are you ? No ?

54:15

He died in 2022 .

54:17

Oh , ok , rest in peace , mickey .

54:18

Sorry , Mickey , I mean that'd be a

54:21

bad mouth in the air

54:23

, you have a holiday .

54:24

Tv celebrity special .

54:25

Man , it's always been like Bob oh , I

54:28

do Perry Como , ah

54:30

, and you'll hear it next week

54:32

. But I used to sit with my grandmother

54:34

. His music touched me . You

54:37

know , not like sit on my lap

54:39

, give me a kiss , for a present kind of touch , but

54:42

his music

54:44

man , I hear in

54:46

that grandmother . She was

54:48

my all time favorite grandmother

54:50

and I haven't had her . You know , she hasn't

54:52

been around since 87 . Yeah

54:54

, so when I hear this , like

54:57

she used to literally make me

54:59

sit there . Or she'd have my dad

55:01

drop her off at the house while he went

55:03

to work , or we'd watch Perry Como

55:06

every year and it was almost the

55:08

same set Did she used to watch Andy Williams

55:10

Christmas specials too . Yes , you

55:12

know , and I think that's one of the highest rated

55:15

songs from him . But

55:17

again , we'll talk that next week Songs

55:19

. You know , back then man

55:21

artists invited

55:24

other artists on . You know , like

55:26

you never knew who was going to show up .

55:27

Yeah .

55:28

And nowadays you don't get that

55:30

Hell , you don't get a variety show

55:32

.

55:32

Because they had like in

55:35

77 , they had the Bing Crosby Mary

55:37

Old Christmas special .

55:38

Bing Crosby died that year .

55:40

And then he , well , I don't know .

55:41

Yeah .

55:42

And then they had David Bowie on there .

55:44

And they sang , the little drummer boy

55:46

. Peace on Earth .

55:47

Yeah , and everybody was like freaked out because

55:49

it's like Bing Crosby the legend . And

55:51

then there's this new David Bowie , ziggy

55:55

Stardust guy .

55:56

David didn't like Bing Crosby

55:58

, so that was a big one

56:00

. Yeah , bing Crosby never got to see that

56:02

man . He died before that

56:04

aired .

56:05

Wow , and then there would be like a Johnny

56:07

Cash Christmas special .

56:09

Does anything with Johnny's good

56:11

yeah . And

56:14

he wouldn't just have like country people

56:16

on , he brought in like everybody

56:18

.

56:19

He had , like Chris Christofferson on

56:21

one in 77 or something , and

56:23

then he had a On the same one

56:25

that he sang with . Steve Martin

56:27

was on there too , a young comedian .

56:29

Steve Martin , he's everywhere

56:32

.

56:33

Another one would be like a Judy Garland

56:35

Christmas show in 63 .

56:37

I can see that being a very high class

56:39

TV show .

56:41

Yeah , her daughter , liza , was on there

56:43

and a bunch of I don't know if the Osmonds

56:45

around there or not young Osmonds .

56:47

Thanks for warning me about Liza .

56:49

Oh , what's wrong with Liza ?

56:51

No , what's not wrong with her . Oh my gosh

56:53

, you're crazy . He

56:55

backed off her mother .

56:56

Well , wouldn't you ? If your mother was Judy Garland

56:59

, I think I would you

57:01

know , like

57:03

never mind man

57:05

. Okay , the

57:07

last one I got . You have to admit

57:09

everybody's been screaming at it . They haven't by

57:12

now . The Star Wars Christmas special .

57:14

Which you could see on Disney .

57:16

Yeah , it is crazy that

57:18

George Lucas let whoever the director

57:20

just go ahead and make the make a Star Wars Christmas

57:22

special and he didn't like edit it or see

57:25

what they did .

57:26

How about the main

57:28

villain B Arthur ?

57:31

She wasn't a villain .

57:32

Yes , she was a villain .

57:34

She was the barmaid in that thing .

57:36

How is he here as the bad guy ?

57:38

No , they were there , it was at a

57:40

bar and every and she was like it was closing time

57:42

and she's singing to them and she's like she's

57:45

saying to them . Yeah , she's saying , she's

57:47

the bad guy show . No

57:49

, she's like what's your trunk doing on my

57:51

counter ? Get your trunk off the top .

57:54

See , this is being bossy

57:56

man . These guys are trying to you know . And

57:58

then he had the whole Chewbacca family .

58:03

Well , yeah , the Chewbacca family . Yeah , the special

58:05

starts off with no , no words . It's

58:07

just Chewbacca and his fan , or Chewbacca's family

58:10

, like uh doing

58:13

that stuff , man . One's name is Skiffy

58:15

or Spiffy , I don't know what the , or Lucky

58:18

or something . I don't know what the one's name was , I can't remember

58:20

.

58:20

Quite the Harry Warriors there .

58:22

And then Art Carney's in that one too , I think I remember

58:24

that he's friends with . Chewbacca's family or something

58:26

. He was helping them get

58:28

a communication or something .

58:30

Chewbacca .

58:32

No . And then well , oh

58:34

, who did the cooking segment and stuff . Man

58:36

, I forget he was uh from the Carol

58:39

Burnett show , not Tim Khan . What was his

58:41

name ? Dang it Harvey Corman . Harvey

58:43

Corman's in that too .

58:45

A lot of people , man , and you know what

58:47

I think ? He's the biggest . That's George

58:50

Lucas' biggest shame Is

58:52

that movie , is that TV show ?

58:54

Yeah , when that came out he was so embarrassed

58:56

he thought that ruined his whole series and

58:58

he hit it for years

59:00

and people like still recorded off

59:02

the TV and they put it on YouTube and

59:04

everybody secretly loves that

59:06

because it's so cheesy and bad . And then

59:08

finally Disney when they bought , they accepted

59:11

it and stuff .

59:12

I actually remember seeing that live

59:14

on TV . Yeah , I remember .

59:16

Yeah .

59:17

What year did that come out ? 79?

59:19

.

59:20

Yeah 79 , or eight , yeah 79

59:22

. I thought it was right before Empire .

59:24

Empire yeah .

59:25

Yeah , because it introduced Boba Fett

59:27

. There was like a cartoon or something in the middle

59:29

of the special and it was like a paint or

59:32

a weird color as it was . Boba Fett was

59:34

introduced . I remember the kids were like who is

59:36

that character and stuff , but it's pretty much it's

59:38

a great special and it's not even that long

59:40

. I don't think no an hour and a half or

59:42

something .

59:43

God , an hour and a half , that is

59:45

long , oh , come on . Okay

59:47

, it's an hour . I can't watch that anymore

59:49

. Our podcast is running longer than

59:51

that show .

59:52

Oh my gosh .

59:53

Yeah , I don't have any more

59:55

I got one more . Okay , we got

59:57

.

59:58

I got . If everybody wants

1:00:00

to listen to some funny stuff funny like

1:00:03

podcasts . Besides ours Gilbert

1:00:05

Godfrey's amazing colossal podcast . Sadly

1:00:08

Gilbert Godfrey passed a year ago , yeah

1:00:10

, but his podcast is hilarious

1:00:12

like stories of he has old

1:00:14

celebrities on there and he's like us . He talks

1:00:16

about old Hollywood and that , well , every Christmas

1:00:19

season he would have Mario Cantone

1:00:21

the comedian and that would be the Christmas

1:00:23

special with Mario Cantone . And if

1:00:25

you just look it up , right around the December

1:00:27

episodes , all the Mario ones , they

1:00:29

have Christmas ones and Mario does

1:00:32

celebrity impersonations and Gilbert

1:00:34

does it . Mario does like Older Betty

1:00:36

Davis and they sing Christmas carols . He's Older

1:00:38

Betty Davis and Gilbert does like Vincent

1:00:40

Price or Peter Lorre and there's

1:00:43

a lot of vulgarity in it , but I mean we're

1:00:45

all used to that .

1:00:46

I mean , that's nothing that the playground on here

1:00:48

.

1:00:48

Yeah , it's a hilarious all those episodes

1:00:51

. That gets me in the Christmas spirit Just listening

1:00:53

to that . Wow , man

1:00:55

, I would have killed to see that I hope everybody

1:00:57

enjoyed this .

1:00:58

I think they will , you know , because you

1:01:00

know people our age , our memory

1:01:02

tends to start slipping , you know

1:01:04

. So they hear this stuff and they're like

1:01:06

that's the name of that show , even though

1:01:08

they only gave us half the info , the half the

1:01:11

cast that was on it . But you

1:01:13

know what ? I really think this is going to be

1:01:15

a good .

1:01:15

Go back and watch the old stuff , like

1:01:17

that , what we said , what movies shows

1:01:20

. Just watch that stuff and it'll help

1:01:22

you remember the good times and it'll help

1:01:24

you through these bad times we're going through .

1:01:26

And Jim brought up because I don't ever talk
