Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guaranteed human Yep, it's your radio home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
One of two point five dve Merry Christmas DV Morning Show.
We're pretty much signing off after today for the holiday break,
but Abby we will be back on January fifth and
talking about how the Steelers beat the Ravens and are
headed into the playoffs. As Aaron Rodgers the Football Rudolph
(00:21):
not Mason guides us into the the playoff schedule, wild
Card Week one whole.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
New lease on life.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's going to be cool. We're manifesting it. You can
wom infest it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Sure, Okay, I'm excited about the holidays. I'm sure you
guys are too. And you know, I think the thing
that's really special about Christmas is you also get to
think about memories of even like when you were a kid.
So what was the life changer Christmas present for you, Sean,
I'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Can you think of like it's the Nintendo.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I want to give a more heartfelt, meaningful Well, it's
not what it's about.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You get that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
You get that Nintendo and the next month of your
life is gone. As an eight year old plug it
in and but what game? Oh, Super Mario Brothers three.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I have the same answer. I'll say
N sixty four because at that stage of my life
I was so into games and it was gold and
I I.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Like that, you want to shoot some blocky Russians for
the holiday, That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Mine would be, because I am so much older than
you guys, would be an Atari twenty six hundred game,
not the twenty six hundred, which was it was great
to have that, like the people who had in television
or Clacovision. Yeah, It's just it was too weird. You
have like a remote control that you had to work.
It was like the choyetick was too hard to So
(01:45):
the twenty six hundred the gold standard. But when pac
Man came out and we got pac Man, I'm pretty
sure to this day I have some thumb arthritis that
can be attributed to when I was twelve. That's what
the old pac Man sounded like Atari. It was nothing
like the video game. It did not stop us from
(02:09):
playing that. We did not sleep as children for a
week when we got that game. I will never forget it.
I remember going to a soccer tournament that I had
to play at and I was like.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Oh, my wrist is kid like. I was actually like injured.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I needed in Aaron Rodgers cast from using the Atari
joystick too much, I broke the rubber off of it
and we only had the plastic left.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And old people like me will remember when that would happen.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And then you just have a piece of plastic sticken
out and you're like, no, no concern here.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
We're How addictive was pac Man when you had to
lose quarters and stand in a pizza shop to play it?
Now put that addictiveness in your home for free. Yes,
you're done. They were making crack in my living basically.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
How bad did the siblings fight over it?
Speaker 7 (02:55):
It was?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You just you know, it was because you could play
two player, and so you would like, who of her
one get?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know, winner stays on?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So it was one of those situations where you usually
only had to take one game off or two games off. Yeah,
Pitfall was another one. Pitfall was a pretty big one.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
But they're all video games.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
If I had to think of a toy, it would
be I got an X Wing Fighter when I was
really young, like seven or something like that, and I'll
never forget that because it was just like oh this
is the or No, I got the land Speeder, not
the xwing Fighter. My brother got the Xwing Fighter. Land
Speter is the little brown car that Luke Skywalker is
(03:33):
in that floats along the side.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Okay, yeah, did you keep it? Like pretty nice?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Or yeah? It's on eBay right now, dude, I wonder
how much that stuff costs.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I bet you could make a pretty penny if you
have some mint condition early Star Wars toys. If you're
a parent, when you do your Christmas shopping, buy two,
buy the one to give them and put another one
in the basement.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
And now you have a retirement for This is.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The stuff my dad's and it's why kept McDonald's peanuts
glasses for twenty five years, only to find out that
they're only worth four dollars apiece.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, and now I go to Pittsburgh Vintage Mixers and
you're like, oh man, these ashtrays are not yes, nearly
as much as they said.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Exactly what the McDonald's glasses that had something to do
with the lead paint.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Okay, all right, your present mine was it was this
thing called a star stage that I got when I
was four, and it was a combination of like a
kid's version of a PAH.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It had like a little.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Light like it had a sound system on the bottom
and the little lights that would come up, and then
it was a mic.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Stand and they had a microphone.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
On the top and so but like I would get
really really close to the microphone like a little kid.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Didn't have any presents at all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But my favorite thing about it is because then I've
told like the story many times before that my parents
were super you know, like young and very cool and
didn't know if him TV was going to screw up
my sister and I, and so they just had it
on all the time. And I broke the star stage
very quickly after I received it, on purpose because I
wanted to be Steven Tyler. And so I broke off
(05:13):
the thing so that I could carry the mic stand
around with me, and I tied scarves to it so
that I could run around more.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Because I had to be mobile. I couldn't be tied
to the pa nice I had to move around.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, I mean, what a spot on this.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, they knew right away.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But when we're talking about actual gift giving, whether it
was from Santa or whether it's you giving to other people,
you know what you give to somebody, you're picking out
the right gift. I know can be stressful for people,
but because you know it sometimes can strengthen your relationship
with somebody. It shows that you're thinking about them or
how you think about them. There's actually services. There's one
(05:56):
called mister Considerate, which is a gift concierge. So it's
like literally helping people figure out what to give people,
and you like go through the service and you tell
them as much as you can about somebody, and then
they'll like help you pick out presents for people.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And they're not just typing this into AI I guess not.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
But those without such services.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Mister considerate, it's the most boring Batman villain.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Those without such services usually fall into six different styles
of gift giving. So we're going to go through these
see if they's paying anything in you. One of the
styles is called the materialist. This is this type of
person who gives a gift that's all about status and
you might now like pick this out whenever.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Somebody's giving you something now, so this is.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The person that has to buy you either the coolest
or the hardest.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
To find trending item.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, this was nobody in my life growing up. I
can guarantee you that if you wanted a cabbage patch,
you were most likely going to get a calliflower, you
know what I mean? Like this, there was no brand
name stuff coming.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No, you're getting the oldie version of whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's right, TIMU, whatever's popular. Yeah, my dad was tu
before it existed.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The sentimentalist is the other one.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
This is like the people that give you a gift
that is so thoughtful you feel like you are going
to ball your eyes out. This is also difficult because
sometimes I feel like they're trying to get one over
on me, right, but that probably says a little bit
about me, Like are you messing with.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You right now?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You won't even accept that it's a nice thing. You're
like cynical about it. How are you trying to screw
me with this?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
This is nice when somebody's so like nostalgia driven or
just like that thoughtful that you hate them a little bit.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
This old broken watch reminds me of you in such
a deep way that I'm not even sure.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I'll sneak one of those in every three or four years, Like,
you can't keep that up. But if you throw in
the sentimental one every now and then they know that
it always could be kind. I'm the lottery. Basically, I'm
disappointing you with some crap from five below most of
the time, so that you hang on to.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Hope that I might get one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Right, you might scratch off a fifty bucks right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
my mom, it's really easy to trick her with the
sentimental one and like it, like if you screw up
and don't get something, it's very easy to go, I'm
going sentimental last second. But also she just doesn't know how,
you know, technology works. So you know those Apple books
that they used to be like you could take stuff
out of your iPhoto, yeah, and just drag it into
(08:45):
a book and they would print a book and send
it to you. And they probably still do it zero effort,
like none at all. I did that from my mom,
you would have thought I published this and like went
to Simon and Schuster and petitioned them on behalf of
my family.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And I think she thought it was like people could
just buy this, it's available.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I'm like, if you want to bart and nobody right
now they haven't, and that just you know, it just
she eventually figured out that wasn't the case, but just
the fact that it was like pictures, Oh, and they're
all here because.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She doesn't want to open up a computer, you know.
She's like, although I will say that was a few
years ago. Now, if I just made an iPad gallery
for she'd probably be happy with that.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Oh, you made a gift.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, the projector is another one. Oh my god, yes,
you can probably figure out what this one is. This
is somebody who buys something that they actually just want
for themselves or it gets do something to subtly encourage
the lifestyle change.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, my dad did this all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Can you think of an example of it?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You bought things that he wanted.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
He'd like, he'd buy a watch that he that was
great and he'd be like then he'd hold it up
and you have the same one on and I'm like
what or so where twins? He's like, no, this is
you obviously like this it's a great watch. Like, yeah,
but I don't wear watches you do? Okay, somebody doesn't
know the Christmas spirit over there. He always did that.
(10:15):
It would be like, you know, when he was into lighthouses,
you'd get a lighthouse hoodie.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Or something like I'm not gonna wear this.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It looks like a penis on my sweatrom I'm not
that's nice.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's I have great taste and now you do too. Exactly,
it's historic. What your problem is?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I like the one that encourages a lifestyle change too.
It's not just that like I wanted this for myself,
like Homer buying Marjorie bowling ball kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Major, major risk, gotta be careful, very My brother did
this for our friend who had a baby, and he
bought her a gym membership to an exclusive like nice
gym that was like, you know, all the rage in
town at the time. And he's like, hey, I got
(11:00):
you one. It's like a new Nautilus. Remember when Nautilus
had like actual clubs. Well this was a nice new
Nautilus and he's like, hey, nottist member. She was so
offended she didn't talk to him for a long time.
She was just like, oh, you just take him fat,
you know. And he's like, no, I.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Thought you said you wanted to get back into shape,
and I thought the new club and people no, And
the answer was no, big no.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I tries to make up with it by buying her
anger management classes.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
This is just doubling down or the other way, just
like Pizza of the Month club?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Which way?
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Do I know?
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Are you matter? Are you that?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I don't care what.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I remember receiving a gift as a book as a
gift once that was called how to be an Adult
in Relationships, and I was like, this is a really
specific book.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
That was it from your partner at the time, because
that seems like a clear mom Oh boy, this is.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Partly on you, mom, how to be a better daughter
by your mom, by you a book.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
About the author, I'm your mom. It's the picture of her.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The procrastinator next the list. I don't think I have
to explain this one. This happens. This is like every
Man on the you know, two days before Christmas. Basically
that's a Century three mall. Isn't there like a big
clip that we played every year of somebody freaking out
about going to Century three Mall right before Christmas and
trying to shop.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Also, my dad was big on that one too. I thought,
you thought, that's when you get the deals, the third
and the twenty fourth, Okay, that is that is when
they charge you the most, right. That is he goes
Now they're just trying to get rid of everything. Then Nope, nope,
you're getting crap is what you're getting. There's nothing left,
nothing left.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I feel like this is kind of going hand in
hand with the sentimentalist, but the listener. The listener's almost
certainly keeping a running notes app list of all the
closed books, jewelry and beauty products that you mentioned throughout
the year.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And it always makes me feel like the worst person. Yes, like, oh,
look at you being thoughtful all the time. I mentioned
that in June and you remembered I'm awful. Here's a
gift certificate to furies.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who doesn't want to certificate argument?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Okay, fine, I'm on record quite frequently here the last
couple of weeks talking about food. But that is for
the procrastinator. Gift cards, layup gift cards.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's also just kind of smarter, isn't.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It, Like, well, like my nephew, I don't know what
the hell he wants, you know, like they what they
want changes so much. He's twelve, you know, about to
be thirteen, like they, I don't know, it changes all
the time.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, he's so, here's a gift card. Yeah, you can
do whatever. You want. Then he buys something I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
He's like, thanks, I bought whatever, I bought some am
O for a game I'm playing on Twitch right now,
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I don't even understand what it is anymore. I'm an
old person.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
The local restaurant or local business gift card is a
layup because if you get any blowback, you can say, well,
I'm sorry for supporting the people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I guess I'm a big chart.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
You want to build your own high road out of
the gift.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The final one on the list is the convenience seeker.
I don't know if I totally get this one. The
convenience seeker opts for the easy solution, like a recycled
but new scarf originally from their mom that's been tucked
away in their closet since last Christmas or whatever. Lingerie
the Harriet employee of Victoria's Secret just throws in their bag.
That actually just sounds like, I'm not really thoughtful.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Jerk.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, kind of, So number six the jerk the I
think that's it.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's not convenience.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I don't think I like that person at all.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I think, all in all, your gift doesn't have to
be pricey, just to do the best you can do
with people. And I've said, I hope this year some
people just want to hang out. That might be all
I have time for this year is a good hang Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, Abby just wants to hang out, that's fine. That's
an easy one. I think that it's never been easier
to buy useless things that will only be fun for
about a week to have around off of Instagram, Like
stuff that you know is going to break but sounds
really cool for like a minute or so. Like those
(15:45):
huge magnifying things that you can get that you put
on your phone, and I've seen these attachments that go
on your phone you're not and it's like a microscope.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You're like, yeah, you check it out.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, Or those little bulbs that turn your room into
a celestial sky. And I don't think dumb stuff like
that that they are just pushing Chinese crap basically on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Really easy way to buy something for somebody that they'll be, oh,
oh okay, it's a little novelty thing. Yeah, that's kind
of neat.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And some dude who's eighteen is trying to sell it
to you on instant in a reel He's like, I'll
tell you what. One of the coolest guests I've seen
check this out, and then he works it. You're like,
that does look kind of cool, looks fun like it's
this a thing that floats across the room. It's like
a frisbee. Yeah, kind of hovers or something like that.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I do five minutes of happiness.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
That's why they have the sharp ri immage at the airport. Yes,
that's exactly. It's not just the neck pillows. It's you're
getting on that plane and oh my god, uncle Frank,
we got nothing for Go find a thing. It'll look
cool when he unwraps it.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Right.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
He used to get groped by a Kiosk worker at
the mall. And now even from the sceney of your
own home, you can see these things. So that's something
going feels good. What do you do now? You almost
got the technique down. Let me show you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Why is your left arm around my abdomen? Old on
nice and easy in a fluid motion like that. It'll
come right back to you. Oh yeah, good for.
Speaker 2 (17:11):

little Christmas music. I don't even care if it's the
kind that'll get us dinged. Those Hallmark movies, the tropes
(22:09):
in them are hilarious. We played for you the clip
from our Algorithm bit about how every one of those
is like.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
They make up these events that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Just are so ridiculous they steer into the skid almost
of the joke.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
At this point, I.
Speaker 13 (22:28):
Was wondering if you two were coming to the Green
pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights Christmas
Tree Decorating Contest Finalistcletary Hey, I just wanted to know
if you were coming to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle Jaco
Merry Christmas Snowflake when our pine Cone Fuzzy menton Decorating
Dance Dance Revolution has slinging mass splinging, crash singing, cookoff
fucking stuff for naughty saying a wet t shirt contest
(22:48):
Shorty fundraiser for orphans and send the tax evaders pre
diabetics of this ware, Eggnoxiff and swore rates tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, that's pretty much what they're like.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, but some of the tropes that you'll often find
in these movies, and by the way, I find them
very watchable.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Really, I'm not even kidding. I kind of like them.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You kind of like romantic comedies?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Though, what'd you say like that?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Because I don't think it's understood why she said it
like that.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I think I said what I said. How I said?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
What romantic comedy?
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Do?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I like?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You like rom No, you like romance movies more than
I thought you would like.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
What you talk about love actually a lot. You always
say you hate it, but you talk about it a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's objectively terrible. No, it's fun to hate watch. That
is a hate watch. Nobody likes love actually. Everyone hates
Love actually, and that's why you watch it.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
He thinks your protests a little too much.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Turn it down a little bit. What's your buddy? All right?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I didn't mean to insult you.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I'm not insulted. You're just wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So the big city hot shot who hates Christmas is
the usual Hallmark five. Right, that's the first thing you
can count on. And it's never in the dude. The
dude's never coming back. That dude is unsuccessful. It's yes,
the dude is always the schlub who couldn't get out
of town.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Anyways, I'm a carpenter, like Jesus was. I guess that's
sort of my charm.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I don't know, but I stayed hot, yeah, like Jesus
Chisel Eddabs.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
It was like Jesus.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Anyways, some of the actors in the Hallmark movies, you
can tell that their agent came up to them and
was like, well, it's either this Hallmark movie or pornography.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I got two scripts here. Want a leaf for him?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
And I mean, I'll be honest, some of this stuff
in here is pretty hardcore, and just you know, shoot
me a text.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I have other clients. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
The bad news is we did not get you on
Survivor Pogo Pogo. We were really hoping it was between
you and that thirty eight year old guy who's only
a foot and a half tall, and they went with him.
Because it's a long story anyways, actually it's very short.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Give me a call.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So there is that the big city hot shot, and
it's always the woman who's career minded and everything.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
And she comes back home, but she doesn't believe in Christmas.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
She's too busy.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
She's too busy for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But then she gets to her small town and this
is the second trope of the small town, where nothing
ever changes.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
The charm of the town.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh, it's delightful, the local traditions.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
Oh really, are you doing the chestnut roast tonight in
town square?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Coco?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Do you believe to me?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You believe they're in the coffeehouse as soon as we
get back from holiday break.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
By the way, chick ass band. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Another one the lop and Have is like, I can't
talk to Josh, I'm engaged to Trevor. Oh yeah, And
then their family works the entire movie to explain what a.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Douchebag Trevor is.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Right, you can't marry this capitalist, the guy with all
the money. Yeah, and the health insurance and the apartment
and the four oh one K.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
You should date your high school love. Yeah, that'll more.
And then there's that last minute miracle that always happens.
It saves everything, just one look, where all of a sudden,
the guy who was just the schlub the entire time,
walks in AND's like they're like, we.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Lost all our Christmas presents this year.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
We're not gonna have Christmas we were supposed to have
for the unfortunate that disadvantaged you, and now it's.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Just so tragic.
Speaker 14 (27:02):
And then he like he' say, hey, I noticed your
car turned over in the snow drift the other night.
I pull all these presents out, I rewrapped them all
for you, and good to go. I had to replace
a couple of them there damage, but you don't have
to pay me back.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I'm just happy to be a part of your Christmas.
And then he goes oh, and they're like, you gets sick.
I gotta have sex with him. I'm gonna stay in
(27:39):
this dumpy town forever.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Everything they thought three days before they've just won aded on.
This place sucks. These people are all enmeshed. It's like
it's insane. Each other's asked.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
They all are.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
They know everything about each other, zero privacy and I'm
never leaving.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Oh yeah, And then after they get married, right they
need to do sequels where it's like, uh, Stephanie finally
found out that Mark was a bit of a player
while she was in the big city because there's only
sixty women in the town and Marcus had sex with
fifty five.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Or she just learns all of these other weird things
about him that you can't possibly know by re meeting
someone in three days. And she's like, you have what
he's like agoraphobia. That's right, I can't I can't go,
I can't go outside.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Marcus is home a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
She's like, I thought you were just rebuilding and remodeling
the something. No, this is a prison that I am
instructing for myself that I can never leave.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I only leave the house once a year for Civil
War reenactments where I only play Roberty Leave. Wait, what's
so specific?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Won't play anybody else.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It's just super racist And she doesn't find out until
she's pregnant. You what now, Yeah, I'm a member of
a militia you might have heard of, called white Whites
for whites.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Wait, so you can wear a mask?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Hallmark Christmas Movies, they're the best live to tape right
now for little giant studios in the historic Allentown neighborhood
of Pittsburgh. And if you are a musician in need
of a space to rehearse, record, or perform. You should
(29:38):
check this place out because it's amazing. But there's a
just a huge performance going on over the holiday that
we want to make you aware of. And that's why
we're here tonight recording The common Heart. And I'm joined

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Guitar Zac is none to mess around with. No, he's
like guitar Zach.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Let me ask you this about the record album? Is
it one that like, will everybody know what it is
right away?
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Everyone will know what it is right away?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Okay, that's it. Yeah, that's what I was. I always
wonder if it takes a little walk.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So I remember when you guys did Floyd and you
did wish you were here and that, Like I think
some people it took them a minute. I was in
the crowd and I was like, oh, no way. And
then you launched into it and destroyed it. That was awesome.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Yeah, that was really fun.
Speaker 15 (30:52):
Yeah, pink Floyd was like a huge undertaking and that's
the fun of it too. This is why you know
our second time doing it. The first time was great
with pink fur Lloyd, and now we got another one
that we're all excited about it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And there's a charitable component to this show, yep that
people should know about right.
Speaker 15 (31:06):
Yeah, we're working with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
We will be collecting non perishable items at the door,
so please load up on your cans and dry soups
and all that stuff and bring it along. And we're
working with three Rivers therapists who's actually volunteering to collect
all that and get it to the food bank for us.
So kind of a co collaboration of mental health and
(31:27):
food security.

(00:21):
not Mason guides us into the the playoff schedule, wild
Card Week one whole.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
New lease on life.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's going to be cool. We're manifesting it. You can
wom infest it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Sure, Okay, I'm excited about the holidays. I'm sure you
guys are too. And you know, I think the thing
that's really special about Christmas is you also get to
think about memories of even like when you were a kid.
So what was the life changer Christmas present for you, Sean,
I'll start with you.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Can you think of like it's the Nintendo.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
I want to give a more heartfelt, meaningful Well, it's
not what it's about.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
You get that.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
You get that Nintendo and the next month of your
life is gone. As an eight year old plug it
in and but what game? Oh, Super Mario Brothers three.
Speaker 6 (01:09):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I have the same answer. I'll say
N sixty four because at that stage of my life
I was so into games and it was gold and
I I.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
Like that, you want to shoot some blocky Russians for
the holiday, That's right.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Mine would be, because I am so much older than
you guys, would be an Atari twenty six hundred game,
not the twenty six hundred, which was it was great
to have that, like the people who had in television
or Clacovision. Yeah, It's just it was too weird. You
have like a remote control that you had to work.
It was like the choyetick was too hard to So
(01:45):
the twenty six hundred the gold standard. But when pac
Man came out and we got pac Man, I'm pretty
sure to this day I have some thumb arthritis that
can be attributed to when I was twelve. That's what
the old pac Man sounded like Atari. It was nothing
like the video game. It did not stop us from
(02:09):
playing that. We did not sleep as children for a
week when we got that game. I will never forget it.
I remember going to a soccer tournament that I had
to play at and I was like.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Oh, my wrist is kid like. I was actually like injured.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
I needed in Aaron Rodgers cast from using the Atari
joystick too much, I broke the rubber off of it
and we only had the plastic left.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
And old people like me will remember when that would happen.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
And then you just have a piece of plastic sticken
out and you're like, no, no concern here.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
We're How addictive was pac Man when you had to
lose quarters and stand in a pizza shop to play it?
Now put that addictiveness in your home for free. Yes,
you're done. They were making crack in my living basically.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
How bad did the siblings fight over it?
Speaker 7 (02:55):
It was?
Speaker 1 (02:55):
You just you know, it was because you could play
two player, and so you would like, who of her
one get?
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You know, winner stays on?
Speaker 7 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
So it was one of those situations where you usually
only had to take one game off or two games off. Yeah,
Pitfall was another one. Pitfall was a pretty big one.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
But they're all video games.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
If I had to think of a toy, it would
be I got an X Wing Fighter when I was
really young, like seven or something like that, and I'll
never forget that because it was just like oh this
is the or No, I got the land Speeder, not
the xwing Fighter. My brother got the Xwing Fighter. Land
Speter is the little brown car that Luke Skywalker is
(03:33):
in that floats along the side.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Okay, yeah, did you keep it? Like pretty nice?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Or yeah? It's on eBay right now, dude, I wonder
how much that stuff costs.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
I bet you could make a pretty penny if you
have some mint condition early Star Wars toys. If you're
a parent, when you do your Christmas shopping, buy two,
buy the one to give them and put another one
in the basement.
Speaker 5 (03:57):
And now you have a retirement for This is.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
The stuff my dad's and it's why kept McDonald's peanuts
glasses for twenty five years, only to find out that
they're only worth four dollars apiece.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, and now I go to Pittsburgh Vintage Mixers and
you're like, oh man, these ashtrays are not yes, nearly
as much as they said.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Exactly what the McDonald's glasses that had something to do
with the lead paint.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Okay, all right, your present mine was it was this
thing called a star stage that I got when I
was four, and it was a combination of like a
kid's version of a PAH.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
It had like a little.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Light like it had a sound system on the bottom
and the little lights that would come up, and then
it was a mic.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Stand and they had a microphone.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
On the top and so but like I would get
really really close to the microphone like a little kid.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Didn't have any presents at all.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But my favorite thing about it is because then I've
told like the story many times before that my parents
were super you know, like young and very cool and
didn't know if him TV was going to screw up
my sister and I, and so they just had it
on all the time. And I broke the star stage
very quickly after I received it, on purpose because I
wanted to be Steven Tyler. And so I broke off
(05:13):
the thing so that I could carry the mic stand
around with me, and I tied scarves to it so
that I could run around more.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Because I had to be mobile. I couldn't be tied
to the pa nice I had to move around.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yeah, I mean, what a spot on this.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Yeah, they knew right away.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
But when we're talking about actual gift giving, whether it
was from Santa or whether it's you giving to other people,
you know what you give to somebody, you're picking out
the right gift. I know can be stressful for people,
but because you know it sometimes can strengthen your relationship
with somebody. It shows that you're thinking about them or
how you think about them. There's actually services. There's one
(05:56):
called mister Considerate, which is a gift concierge. So it's
like literally helping people figure out what to give people,
and you like go through the service and you tell
them as much as you can about somebody, and then
they'll like help you pick out presents for people.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
And they're not just typing this into AI I guess not.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
But those without such services.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
Mister considerate, it's the most boring Batman villain.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Those without such services usually fall into six different styles
of gift giving. So we're going to go through these
see if they's paying anything in you. One of the
styles is called the materialist. This is this type of
person who gives a gift that's all about status and
you might now like pick this out whenever.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Somebody's giving you something now, so this is.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
The person that has to buy you either the coolest
or the hardest.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
To find trending item.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Okay, this was nobody in my life growing up. I
can guarantee you that if you wanted a cabbage patch,
you were most likely going to get a calliflower, you
know what I mean? Like this, there was no brand
name stuff coming.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
No, you're getting the oldie version of whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
It's right, TIMU, whatever's popular. Yeah, my dad was tu
before it existed.
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
The sentimentalist is the other one.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
This is like the people that give you a gift
that is so thoughtful you feel like you are going
to ball your eyes out. This is also difficult because
sometimes I feel like they're trying to get one over
on me, right, but that probably says a little bit
about me, Like are you messing with.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
You right now?
Speaker 1 (07:43):
You won't even accept that it's a nice thing. You're
like cynical about it. How are you trying to screw
me with this?
Speaker 9 (07:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
This is nice when somebody's so like nostalgia driven or
just like that thoughtful that you hate them a little bit.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
This old broken watch reminds me of you in such
a deep way that I'm not even sure.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
I'll sneak one of those in every three or four years, Like,
you can't keep that up. But if you throw in
the sentimental one every now and then they know that
it always could be kind. I'm the lottery. Basically, I'm
disappointing you with some crap from five below most of
the time, so that you hang on to.
Speaker 4 (08:23):
Hope that I might get one.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Right, you might scratch off a fifty bucks right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
my mom, it's really easy to trick her with the
sentimental one and like it, like if you screw up
and don't get something, it's very easy to go, I'm
going sentimental last second. But also she just doesn't know how,
you know, technology works. So you know those Apple books
that they used to be like you could take stuff
out of your iPhoto, yeah, and just drag it into
(08:45):
a book and they would print a book and send
it to you. And they probably still do it zero effort,
like none at all. I did that from my mom,
you would have thought I published this and like went
to Simon and Schuster and petitioned them on behalf of
my family.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
And I think she thought it was like people could
just buy this, it's available.
Speaker 8 (09:07):
I'm like, if you want to bart and nobody right
now they haven't, and that just you know, it just
she eventually figured out that wasn't the case, but just
the fact that it was like pictures, Oh, and they're
all here because.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
She doesn't want to open up a computer, you know.
She's like, although I will say that was a few
years ago. Now, if I just made an iPad gallery
for she'd probably be happy with that.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Oh, you made a gift.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, the projector is another one. Oh my god, yes,
you can probably figure out what this one is. This
is somebody who buys something that they actually just want
for themselves or it gets do something to subtly encourage
the lifestyle change.
Speaker 4 (09:47):
Yeah, my dad did this all the time.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Can you think of an example of it?
Speaker 4 (09:52):
You bought things that he wanted.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
He'd like, he'd buy a watch that he that was
great and he'd be like then he'd hold it up
and you have the same one on and I'm like
what or so where twins? He's like, no, this is
you obviously like this it's a great watch. Like, yeah,
but I don't wear watches you do? Okay, somebody doesn't
know the Christmas spirit over there. He always did that.
(10:15):
It would be like, you know, when he was into lighthouses,
you'd get a lighthouse hoodie.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Or something like I'm not gonna wear this.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
It looks like a penis on my sweatrom I'm not
that's nice.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
That's I have great taste and now you do too. Exactly,
it's historic. What your problem is?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
I like the one that encourages a lifestyle change too.
It's not just that like I wanted this for myself,
like Homer buying Marjorie bowling ball kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Major, major risk, gotta be careful, very My brother did
this for our friend who had a baby, and he
bought her a gym membership to an exclusive like nice
gym that was like, you know, all the rage in
town at the time. And he's like, hey, I got
(11:00):
you one. It's like a new Nautilus. Remember when Nautilus
had like actual clubs. Well this was a nice new
Nautilus and he's like, hey, nottist member. She was so
offended she didn't talk to him for a long time.
She was just like, oh, you just take him fat,
you know. And he's like, no, I.
Speaker 9 (11:15):
Thought you said you wanted to get back into shape,
and I thought the new club and people no, And
the answer was no, big no.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
I tries to make up with it by buying her
anger management classes.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
This is just doubling down or the other way, just
like Pizza of the Month club?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Which way?
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Do I know?
Speaker 9 (11:38):
Are you matter? Are you that?
Speaker 4 (11:39):
I don't care what.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
I remember receiving a gift as a book as a
gift once that was called how to be an Adult
in Relationships, and I was like, this is a really
specific book.
Speaker 5 (11:55):
That was it from your partner at the time, because
that seems like a clear mom Oh boy, this is.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Partly on you, mom, how to be a better daughter
by your mom, by you a book.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
About the author, I'm your mom. It's the picture of her.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
The procrastinator next the list. I don't think I have
to explain this one. This happens. This is like every
Man on the you know, two days before Christmas. Basically
that's a Century three mall. Isn't there like a big
clip that we played every year of somebody freaking out
about going to Century three Mall right before Christmas and
trying to shop.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (12:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Also, my dad was big on that one too. I thought,
you thought, that's when you get the deals, the third
and the twenty fourth, Okay, that is that is when
they charge you the most, right. That is he goes
Now they're just trying to get rid of everything. Then Nope, nope,
you're getting crap is what you're getting. There's nothing left,
nothing left.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I feel like this is kind of going hand in
hand with the sentimentalist, but the listener. The listener's almost
certainly keeping a running notes app list of all the
closed books, jewelry and beauty products that you mentioned throughout
the year.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
And it always makes me feel like the worst person. Yes, like, oh,
look at you being thoughtful all the time. I mentioned
that in June and you remembered I'm awful. Here's a
gift certificate to furies.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
Who doesn't want to certificate argument?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Okay, fine, I'm on record quite frequently here the last
couple of weeks talking about food. But that is for
the procrastinator. Gift cards, layup gift cards.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's also just kind of smarter, isn't.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
It, Like, well, like my nephew, I don't know what
the hell he wants, you know, like they what they
want changes so much. He's twelve, you know, about to
be thirteen, like they, I don't know, it changes all
the time.
Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah, he's so, here's a gift card. Yeah, you can
do whatever. You want. Then he buys something I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
He's like, thanks, I bought whatever, I bought some am
O for a game I'm playing on Twitch right now,
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
I don't even understand what it is anymore. I'm an
old person.
Speaker 6 (14:17):
The local restaurant or local business gift card is a
layup because if you get any blowback, you can say, well,
I'm sorry for supporting the people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I guess I'm a big chart.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
You want to build your own high road out of
the gift.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
The final one on the list is the convenience seeker.
I don't know if I totally get this one. The
convenience seeker opts for the easy solution, like a recycled
but new scarf originally from their mom that's been tucked
away in their closet since last Christmas or whatever. Lingerie
the Harriet employee of Victoria's Secret just throws in their bag.
That actually just sounds like, I'm not really thoughtful.
Speaker 4 (14:57):
Jerk.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Yeah, kind of, So number six the jerk the I
think that's it.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
That's not convenience.
Speaker 10 (15:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
I don't think I like that person at all.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I think, all in all, your gift doesn't have to
be pricey, just to do the best you can do
with people. And I've said, I hope this year some
people just want to hang out. That might be all
I have time for this year is a good hang Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Well, Abby just wants to hang out, that's fine. That's
an easy one. I think that it's never been easier
to buy useless things that will only be fun for
about a week to have around off of Instagram, Like
stuff that you know is going to break but sounds
really cool for like a minute or so. Like those
(15:45):
huge magnifying things that you can get that you put
on your phone, and I've seen these attachments that go
on your phone you're not and it's like a microscope.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
You're like, yeah, you check it out.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, Or those little bulbs that turn your room into
a celestial sky. And I don't think dumb stuff like
that that they are just pushing Chinese crap basically on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Really easy way to buy something for somebody that they'll be, oh,
oh okay, it's a little novelty thing. Yeah, that's kind
of neat.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
And some dude who's eighteen is trying to sell it
to you on instant in a reel He's like, I'll
tell you what. One of the coolest guests I've seen
check this out, and then he works it. You're like,
that does look kind of cool, looks fun like it's
this a thing that floats across the room. It's like
a frisbee. Yeah, kind of hovers or something like that.
Speaker 7 (16:28):
You know what I'm talking about.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
I do five minutes of happiness.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
That's why they have the sharp ri immage at the airport. Yes,
that's exactly. It's not just the neck pillows. It's you're
getting on that plane and oh my god, uncle Frank,
we got nothing for Go find a thing. It'll look
cool when he unwraps it.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Right.
Speaker 6 (16:43):
He used to get groped by a Kiosk worker at
the mall. And now even from the sceney of your
own home, you can see these things. So that's something
going feels good. What do you do now? You almost
got the technique down. Let me show you.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Why is your left arm around my abdomen? Old on
nice and easy in a fluid motion like that. It'll
come right back to you. Oh yeah, good for.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Everybody. Do the best you can do. Merry Christmas, everybody.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I need a pretzel.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Uh, Merry Christmas. Still more to come, a little more
common Heart for you. Crampis Christmas and Mike's Twelve Days

set for this weekend's big Steelers Lions game, which, if
you've been listening, Mike really feels good about the Steelers chances.
He's real confident that they come out with a win.

It's the DV Morning Show, Randy Bauman with Abbey Prisner,
Mike Pursuda, Tad Whistle in with us this morning, Jacob
back to our producer, and tis the season for Christmas movies.
And as you know, the Hallmark Channel has been playing
Christmas movies since about August, and they have every kind
of Christmas movie you can imagine, and they try to
pinpoint every demographic that might jump in and tune into
(19:16):
one of these things. And so it was only a
matter of time before they finally launched a Pittsburgh themed
Hallmark Christmas movie, which is coming out this weekend. When
Gina returned home to her childhood house in Crafton from
her bougie condo in the Strip District. The last thing
she expected to find was a ghost of Christmas past
(19:39):
tank Philip Koalski, Gina, what are you doing here helping my.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Mom recover from her foot water remove with surgery. What
are you doing here fixing.
Speaker 6 (19:47):
Your Pittsburgh party Because your cousin Chip Clagg did a
Thanksgiving goodness new and just when you thought you've lost
the Christmas spirit for good, me and some of the
old gang are going to mugshots for wings and darks.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You should come.
Speaker 3 (20:00):
I'm planning the Mayor's Christmas jingle ball at the PBG play.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Skating Rink, and I have to make sure the ice
is okay.
Speaker 4 (20:05):
It's freezing out. The ice will be fine.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
No, I mean I need the Immigration police to sweep
the area of all the vagrants.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I can't just stay and crafted forever.
Speaker 4 (20:12):
Gina, Hey, for real, come get hammered with us. This
time of the year.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Holiday magic can find you in the unlikeliest of places, draft.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Spirits, drunk in the cab of your truck again, what
is this high school?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Actually, yeah, this is a high school. We should probably
not stay parked here. I'm for sure pushing point oh eight.
But I just want to ask you.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
You know what this is? Is that mistletoe?
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Is it? I don't know. I'm sincerely asking you what
it is.
Speaker 6 (20:39):
I just pulled it out of my teeth, but I
only had one bite of salary.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
You know, I'm real glad your mom had her footwork's
removed me too.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
And when the spirit of Christmas comes knocking, will you
let it come inside?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Good morning, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Why are we in my childhood bedroom? My god, we
sleep together last night?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Please tell me we use the condom? No way, Wait,
aren't you on when your original Christmas plans fall through?
Speaker 1 (21:11):
It's time for a Plan B Christmas Tonight on the
Hallmark Channel.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
This would never work between us. You're a plumber master plumber, right,
and I'm the assistant to the mayor.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
And I'm technically still married to Terra. But who cares.
I think we could be great together. Plus I could
really use your health insurance.
Speaker 4 (21:33):
There's the drumster pull over.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'll over from here, lose my number and forget this happened.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Gina.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
Wait, Jana, I promise to text you every time I
could stop.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
A Plan B Christmas Tonight on the Hallmark Channel. Well
those you know that's like destined to be like the
Pittsburgh Gets a Wonderful Life, I think perspective. Yeah, I
hope those two can make it me too, And we
all know stories like that, you know, this time of year,
Can you give me some Christmas music? Give me a
little Christmas music. I don't even care if it's the
kind that'll get us dinged. Those Hallmark movies, the tropes
(22:09):
in them are hilarious. We played for you the clip
from our Algorithm bit about how every one of those
is like.
Speaker 4 (22:20):
They make up these events that.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Just are so ridiculous they steer into the skid almost
of the joke.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
At this point, I.
Speaker 13 (22:28):
Was wondering if you two were coming to the Green
pine Grove town Square Christmas Eve Festival of Lights Christmas
Tree Decorating Contest Finalistcletary Hey, I just wanted to know
if you were coming to the Twinkle Twinkle Jingle Jaco
Merry Christmas Snowflake when our pine Cone Fuzzy menton Decorating
Dance Dance Revolution has slinging mass splinging, crash singing, cookoff
fucking stuff for naughty saying a wet t shirt contest
(22:48):
Shorty fundraiser for orphans and send the tax evaders pre
diabetics of this ware, Eggnoxiff and swore rates tonight.
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah, that's pretty much what they're like.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Yeah, but some of the tropes that you'll often find
in these movies, and by the way, I find them
very watchable.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Really, I'm not even kidding. I kind of like them.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
You kind of like romantic comedies?
Speaker 4 (23:08):
Though, what'd you say like that?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Because I don't think it's understood why she said it
like that.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
I think I said what I said. How I said?
Speaker 4 (23:18):
What romantic comedy?
Speaker 9 (23:19):
Do?
Speaker 4 (23:19):
I like?
Speaker 3 (23:21):
You like rom No, you like romance movies more than
I thought you would like.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
What you talk about love actually a lot. You always
say you hate it, but you talk about it a lot.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's objectively terrible. No, it's fun to hate watch. That
is a hate watch. Nobody likes love actually. Everyone hates
Love actually, and that's why you watch it.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
He thinks your protests a little too much.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
Turn it down a little bit. What's your buddy? All right?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
I didn't mean to insult you.
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I'm not insulted. You're just wrong.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So the big city hot shot who hates Christmas is
the usual Hallmark five. Right, that's the first thing you
can count on. And it's never in the dude. The
dude's never coming back. That dude is unsuccessful. It's yes,
the dude is always the schlub who couldn't get out
of town.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
Anyways, I'm a carpenter, like Jesus was. I guess that's
sort of my charm.
Speaker 6 (24:17):
I don't know, but I stayed hot, yeah, like Jesus
Chisel Eddabs.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
It was like Jesus.
Speaker 6 (24:28):
Anyways, some of the actors in the Hallmark movies, you
can tell that their agent came up to them and
was like, well, it's either this Hallmark movie or pornography.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
I got two scripts here. Want a leaf for him?
Speaker 6 (24:47):
And I mean, I'll be honest, some of this stuff
in here is pretty hardcore, and just you know, shoot
me a text.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
I have other clients. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
The bad news is we did not get you on
Survivor Pogo Pogo. We were really hoping it was between
you and that thirty eight year old guy who's only
a foot and a half tall, and they went with him.
Because it's a long story anyways, actually it's very short.
Speaker 4 (25:19):
Give me a call.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
So there is that the big city hot shot, and
it's always the woman who's career minded and everything.
Speaker 4 (25:25):
And she comes back home, but she doesn't believe in Christmas.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
She's too busy.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
She's too busy for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
But then she gets to her small town and this
is the second trope of the small town, where nothing
ever changes.
Speaker 4 (25:40):
The charm of the town.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Oh, it's delightful, the local traditions.
Speaker 9 (25:47):
Oh really, are you doing the chestnut roast tonight in
town square?
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Coco?
Speaker 11 (25:55):
Do you believe to me?
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You believe they're in the coffeehouse as soon as we
get back from holiday break.
Speaker 4 (26:01):
By the way, chick ass band. Uh.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Another one the lop and Have is like, I can't
talk to Josh, I'm engaged to Trevor. Oh yeah, And
then their family works the entire movie to explain what a.
Speaker 4 (26:17):
Douchebag Trevor is.
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Right, you can't marry this capitalist, the guy with all
the money. Yeah, and the health insurance and the apartment
and the four oh one K.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
You should date your high school love. Yeah, that'll more.
And then there's that last minute miracle that always happens.
It saves everything, just one look, where all of a sudden,
the guy who was just the schlub the entire time,
walks in AND's like they're like, we.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Lost all our Christmas presents this year.
Speaker 14 (26:55):
We're not gonna have Christmas we were supposed to have
for the unfortunate that disadvantaged you, and now it's.
Speaker 4 (27:01):
Just so tragic.
Speaker 14 (27:02):
And then he like he' say, hey, I noticed your
car turned over in the snow drift the other night.
I pull all these presents out, I rewrapped them all
for you, and good to go. I had to replace
a couple of them there damage, but you don't have
to pay me back.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I'm just happy to be a part of your Christmas.
And then he goes oh, and they're like, you gets sick.
I gotta have sex with him. I'm gonna stay in
(27:39):
this dumpy town forever.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Everything they thought three days before they've just won aded on.
This place sucks. These people are all enmeshed. It's like
it's insane. Each other's asked.
Speaker 7 (27:52):
They all are.
Speaker 4 (27:54):
They know everything about each other, zero privacy and I'm
never leaving.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Oh yeah, And then after they get married, right they
need to do sequels where it's like, uh, Stephanie finally
found out that Mark was a bit of a player
while she was in the big city because there's only
sixty women in the town and Marcus had sex with
fifty five.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
Or she just learns all of these other weird things
about him that you can't possibly know by re meeting
someone in three days. And she's like, you have what
he's like agoraphobia. That's right, I can't I can't go,
I can't go outside.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Marcus is home a lot.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
She's like, I thought you were just rebuilding and remodeling
the something. No, this is a prison that I am
instructing for myself that I can never leave.
Speaker 6 (28:46):
I only leave the house once a year for Civil
War reenactments where I only play Roberty Leave. Wait, what's
so specific?
Speaker 4 (28:59):
Won't play anybody else.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
It's just super racist And she doesn't find out until
she's pregnant. You what now, Yeah, I'm a member of
a militia you might have heard of, called white Whites
for whites.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Wait, so you can wear a mask?
Speaker 1 (29:17):
Hallmark Christmas Movies, they're the best live to tape right
now for little giant studios in the historic Allentown neighborhood
of Pittsburgh. And if you are a musician in need
of a space to rehearse, record, or perform. You should

like guitar Zach.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Let me ask you this about the record album? Is
it one that like, will everybody know what it is
right away?
Speaker 7 (30:34):
Everyone will know what it is right away?
Speaker 4 (30:36):
Okay, that's it. Yeah, that's what I was. I always
wonder if it takes a little walk.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So I remember when you guys did Floyd and you
did wish you were here and that, Like I think
some people it took them a minute. I was in
the crowd and I was like, oh, no way. And
then you launched into it and destroyed it. That was awesome.
Speaker 7 (30:51):
Yeah, that was really fun.
Speaker 15 (30:52):
Yeah, pink Floyd was like a huge undertaking and that's
the fun of it too. This is why you know
our second time doing it. The first time was great
with pink fur Lloyd, and now we got another one
that we're all excited about it.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
And there's a charitable component to this show, yep that
people should know about right.
Speaker 15 (31:06):
Yeah, we're working with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.
We will be collecting non perishable items at the door,
so please load up on your cans and dry soups

working with three Rivers therapists who's actually volunteering to collect
all that and get it to the food bank for us.
