Speaker 1 (00:13):
It's Friday in Denver, and that means it's time once
again for the Right Side of Hollywood with award winning
filmmaker Deborah Flora and Christian Toto of Hollywood in Toto
on the intersection of pop culture, entertainment and politics in
America right here on Ryan Schuling Live, Harry, Harry, Marry.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
I couldn't have any airports just because I got the
food flew all the way up here in a.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Blizzard, your man for the New York OI left right
in the middle of it as soon as I got Mary's.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Telegram, good idea.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Earning a toast to my big brother, George, the richest
man in town, said.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
That's a Christmas present from a very dear friend.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Look, Daddy, can't yourself every time look down rings and
the angel gets his wings.
Speaker 7 (01:26):
That's right, that's right. The boy climbed.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Am I emotional? Yes, Jody calm in for Deborah Flora
Christian Total alongside a special Christmas edition on the Right
Side of Hollywood or wrap up Calendar. You're twenty twenty
five and of course it's a Wonderful life. From nineteen
forty six, the masterful performance by Jimmy Stewart. Donna reed
in this as well, and it's one of those films, Christian,
I'll turn to you first on this. It triggers an
(02:30):
emotional response and that's the ending. So we gave you
the ending. Watch the whole thing if you haven't or
you haven't in a while. It was a box office
bomb when it came out. It would become a classic
in later years. But when Harry Bailey toasts his brother
George to my brother George, the richest man in town,
I lose it. It's waterworks. It hits me every time,
even right there. Yeah, no, me too.
Speaker 8 (02:52):
To me, it's the atta boy, Clarence.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
That's the.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Yet you can hear data, Carvey, do Harry?
Speaker 5 (02:59):
What are we doing here.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
With battles? It is amazing.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
You know.
Speaker 8 (03:03):
I don't think that A Christmas Story was a huge
hidden theaters either.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
It is Facett. Listen.
Speaker 8 (03:09):
There are many movies that have become classics off of
Space Idiocracy, so many that just we didn't really embrace
at the time, and then they became beloved.
Speaker 4 (03:17):
And this is the top of the heap.
Speaker 8 (03:19):
It's just it's incredible fact this you know, in the
nineteen forties movie that we can still watch today that
we can still resonate with that still speaks to us. Yeah,
the technology was different, and it's black and white, and
all the reasons why you think it's not pertinent to today.
But when you have real emotions and genuine storytelling and
great acting and things that straight from the heart, it's timeless.
Speaker 4 (03:39):
One of the great sub ins of all time. Not
only Jody calm all due respected Debrah Flora, but she said,
you know what, take love actually out, thank God and
put It's a wonderful life in greatest move ever. But
another thing, Jody, a friend of mine posted on Facebook
it was hilarious, is that you couldn't remake this movie.
And here's the reason why. When Uncle Billy loses the
(03:59):
money and George doesn't know what to do when they're
having to shut down the bank, he said, if it
took place present day, they would just set up a
GoFundMe and it would be over.
Speaker 9 (04:07):
Yes, that's a good point.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah, your thoughts on the film, Jody, Oh, It's.
Speaker 9 (04:13):
A wonderful life. Oh yeah, Oh, I love it. I
mean I probably I watched I do the watching all
of my comfort movies over and over.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Again, and you do this with food and or beverage.
Speaker 9 (04:23):
Yeah, absolutely both, Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Loaded beverages absolutely, Okay, fantastic.
Speaker 9 (04:28):
A boy had a boy, Clarence, A boy, You look
like the kind of angel I got.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
What's your favorite scene from the movie.
Speaker 7 (04:37):
Oh, geez.
Speaker 9 (04:39):
I mean, obviously the last scene is pretty great, and
I mean I got choked up just hearing both.
Speaker 4 (04:45):
Yeah, there's two scenes for me. The one where he's
praying on the bridge and God Help me and they
said Jimmy Stewart had some PTSD from serving in World
War Two and that that really affected him in that scene,
that amotive moment. The other one I love is when
Jimmy is or George is granted the wish that you
never you were never born, and he and Clarence go
(05:07):
to not what is now Nick's.
Speaker 9 (05:08):
Bar, right instead of Martinez, oh you to go through
the door off the window giving out wings. I actually
think my favorite scene is the one where when they're kids,
when George and marry your kids. Yeah, and she leans
in and she you know, it's right after he's talking
about I'm gonna have a couple of wives and you know,
maybe even a harem too, and she leans in is like.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I would love you to the day I die in
his bad ear, which he couldn't hear and she knew that.
So yeah, it's a wonderful life. You can't go wrong
with that one. And it's also Shanman's favorite. Oh all
time Christmas moving along with yours truly, and Jody's that
your favorite? Number one?
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Yeah, probably that or the George C. Scott Christmas Carol.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
We'll get to that in a moment. But the only
movie that was mentioned on both of your lists Jody
and Christian Toto. Christian mentioned it from nineteen eighty three,
a Christmas Story and it all revolves around a little
boys Christmas wish for a Red Rider BB gun.
Speaker 10 (06:02):
All right, class, I have your Christmas themes for you.
I'm pleased in general you did very well. However, I
was disappointed in emergence.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
This is it.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
See plus oh no, it can't be ce plus oh no,
you shoot your eye out. My mother must have gotten
(06:44):
the miss shields. There could be no other explanation.
Speaker 9 (06:47):
Yea shelter rye ut yall shutter ryot.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Of course, there's no end to this conspiracy of irrational
prejudice against Red Rider and his peacemaker.
Speaker 10 (07:00):
These multiplication questions were most missed in our last math test.
Would you answering unison.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Pleas I was surrounded by happier kids who were all
going to get what they wanted for Christmas.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Geene Sheppard the voice over there in Instant Classic, they
play at twenty four to seven. I believe on TBS
at least Christmas Eve, and Jody your reason for selecting
a Christmas story.
Speaker 9 (07:22):
It's just so sweet everything about it. It is just
so sweet and funny. I like, I really like the
scene where the little brothers like crying and then the
mom knocks on the cupboard. Why are you crying? Dad's
gonna kill Ralphie.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Daddy's not gonna kill Ralphie, and that Jody great jumping
off point goes to the scene where there was a
true moment Christian between the mom Melinda Dillon I believe
her name was, and Peter billings Late, the actor playing Ralphie,
in which she doesn't rat him out about the fighty
hand on the playground with Scott Fark.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Oh, it's so perfect, and you know it's just that
was director Bob Clark, who died in tragically at a
young age, and he also did I think Black Christmas.
I mean he had this and Porky's I believe as well.
This guy had range. This is amazing movie, and you
know it. It really just speaks to quintessential truths about childhood,
growing up, getting older, getting wiser, memories. The old man
(08:25):
cursing away at the storm, not real curses, but profanities
still hangs over La And I recommend reading Jane Shepherd's
book this.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
He narrowed his own book.
Speaker 8 (08:35):
It was in God We Trust All Others Play at
pay Cash and this was I think part of that
was a series of US short stories, So do check
it out. I mean just for nostalogists sake alone. But yeah,
another one that was not a hit that was revived
by cable TV. I'd imagine much like It's a Wonderful
Life was revived.
Speaker 11 (08:51):
I think the.
Speaker 8 (08:52):
Copyright went out and everyone was airing it. I think
it just it became ubiquitous, and I think that's when
it really caught in the culture in magical ways. So
so many great moments. I mean, the leg lamp, the bumper,
his hounds, Chinese dinner, fragile, you know, the bar, soap
in the mouth, the tongue oil Pole. It goes on
(09:14):
and on and on, and the best part to me
is is getting to meet Santa and the pregnant pause
before Santa Claus says, you'll shoot your eye out, kid,
that's the match.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
A Christmas Story from nineteen eighty three Jody Column Christian
Toto in studio recounting their favorite Christmas movies. You can
chime in at five, seven, seven, three nine as well.
There's a through line between A Christmas Story and our
next film. That is Peter Billingsley and he plays the
lead Elf at the North Pole in the instant Classic
Elf from two thousand and three. This is where Buddy
(09:51):
meets his dad for the first time. Will Ferrell as
Buddy and James Kahan as his father, Walter.
Speaker 10 (10:00):
Mister Hobbs, it's me on the intercom.
Speaker 11 (10:03):
Yeah, I think someone sent you a Christmas Graham.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
Dare all right, let's get it over with. I walked
all day and night to find you. You look like
you came from the North Pole.
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Exactly where I came from.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
Santa must have called you.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh yeah, sure, just got off the cell phone with me.
So go on, go on with what are you going
to sing a song or something or can I just go.
Speaker 12 (10:35):
Back to a song?
Speaker 9 (10:39):
H yeah, anything for you, dad.
Speaker 13 (10:44):
I'm here with my dad and we never met and
he wants me to sing him a song.
Speaker 7 (10:55):
And I was adopted, but you.
Speaker 5 (10:58):
Didn't know I was born.
Speaker 7 (11:00):
I'm here now I found you, daddy, And guess what.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I love you.
Speaker 5 (11:06):
I love you. I love you. Oh that's weird. Usually guys,
just you know, put my name in the jingle bells yourself.
Speaker 14 (11:18):
It's me, your son, Susan Wells had me and she
didn't tell you, and and and but now I'm here.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
It's me, buddy, Susan Wells, you said, Susan Wells?
Speaker 5 (11:29):
Yes? Who sent this Christmas gram?
Speaker 7 (11:33):
What's a Christmas Gram?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
I want? I think we should call security.
Speaker 7 (11:37):
I like to whisper too.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
It's okay, Walter's my father.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
Well, your dad's busy right now.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Okay, I'll come back later.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Yeah, you know you're not going to come back for
a while.
Speaker 5 (11:48):
Okay, you're gonna go back to Santaland.
Speaker 15 (11:50):
Okay, yeah, why do you go back to Gimbable?
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Good luck fighting your dad from the nor wall by
buddy Christian.
Speaker 8 (11:57):
This was your pig so good just rewatch it two
days ago and every time I see it, every time
I listen to it, something new strikes me. And this
one just listening right here, right now. James Con was Perfection,
so crusty, so cold, so different than Will Ferrell. And
I hear a lot of different stories about the shoot.
Speaker 11 (12:17):
There was friction.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
He didn't like what Will Ferrell was doing.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
I don't really I feel like I've read different stories.
I don't want to say there's anything different.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
What about Bob bad Maria?
Speaker 9 (12:25):
Not that?
Speaker 8 (12:26):
But then if James Con was pleased by the results, obviously,
but just oil and water, just Perfection. Just listen, and
when you do the audio you can really zone in
on things that you can't when you're watching it. But
every time I watch it, I get something else that's
special about that movie. And maybe the best part of
it all is that they didn't make a sequel.
Speaker 4 (12:45):
Let it be Scott, don't go near it, No, not
at all, And we go to Jody Calm's favorite. This
is a Christmas Carol. There are many iterations of this,
but in nineteen eighty four, the great George C. Scott
playing the role of Ebony are screwge and much like
with It's a Wonderful Life, Here is the final scene,
(13:06):
nine o'clock.
Speaker 5 (13:09):
In daylight? What day?
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Hello you that boy?
Speaker 10 (13:21):
Me sir?
Speaker 5 (13:22):
Yes, you a good fellow.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
What day is today?
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Today?
Speaker 11 (13:26):
What's Christmas Day?
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Of course Christmas Day?
Speaker 5 (13:30):
I haven't missed it. The spirits did it all in
one night. Well, they can do anything they like, of
course the case.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Hello, my fine fellow.
Speaker 10 (13:38):
Hello.
Speaker 5 (13:39):
Do you know the poulterers in the next street, but.
Speaker 7 (13:41):
One on the corner.
Speaker 9 (13:43):
I should hope I did.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Intelligent boy, remarkable boy.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Do you know if they've sold the prize turkey that
was hanging there?
Speaker 4 (13:50):
What the one as big as me?
Speaker 5 (13:53):
A delightful boy. Pleasure talking to.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
The one as big as you hanging there now?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Going bye?
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Yes, going by it and bring them round so that
I may tell them where to deliver it.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Come back with the man.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
I'll give you a shitting come back in less than
five minutes.
Speaker 5 (14:09):
I'll give you half a clown. I mistressing myself so
much to do lose any time I was like, I'm
just happy is an agen? I'm is made? I'm his
(14:36):
giey is he drunken man? Merry Christmas to everybody and
that happy yeah the world.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Around this time of year, I am often that giddy,
drunken man that he references George's got from Patent to
Ebenezer Scrooge. Not sure that we appreciate him enough, Jody,
but you certainly do as you pick this as your
all time favorite.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
Oh definitely. I mean his performance is I can't I
can't think of a role that has been played to
perfection more than he was Ebenezer Scrooge, because if you've
read the book, I mean, he's just he's perfect in it.
I would call that film nearly flawless. The only thing
that I have a problem with is the the ghost
(15:22):
of Christmas Present does this like sanctimonious speech you know
that's not in the book. And then you know, like
he opens his robe and there's like these two like
scrawny looking, skinny, sickly orphans.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
You know that's parodied and scrooged with Bill Murray by
the way.
Speaker 9 (15:38):
Yeah, yeah, no Scrooge. Yeah. And I want to give
an honorable mention to Muppets Christmas Carol. I think that's
that's pretty underrated as well.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Love it. We can go back in time for that
one as well, Jody Calm Christian Toto listing off our
favorite Christmas movies. Now this is up the list and
it keeps climbing the charts for me. And there's just
something about it. In this scene, in particular, you talk
about the ones that move you maybe to tears or
to feel an emotion. The scene in the church where
Kevin McAllister played by Macaulay Culkin gives old man Marley
(16:11):
wisdom in his advice.
Speaker 9 (16:13):
You've seen the thing that viral Instagram reel where the
guy explains how Home Alone is a Christian movie or
were you going.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
To talk about that?
Speaker 5 (16:20):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Absolutely, we'll do that. On the other side. We got
a pretty extended clip here, so we're gonna go a
little bit long in this segment. And that's okay. It's Christmas.
I'm just gonna use that throughout the next two weeks,
even after Christmas. But Home Alone nineteen ninety, so many
reasons to love it. And this is my favorite scene
for the movie.
Speaker 13 (16:37):
Wonder of the real reason why I'm here right now?
Sure came to hear my granddaughter see and I can't
come in here tonight.
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Plane.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
No, I'm not welcome.
Speaker 11 (16:51):
At church.
Speaker 13 (16:53):
Oh you're always welcome to church. I'm not welcome with
my son. Year's back before you and your family moved
on the block. I had an argument with my son,
how old is he? He's grown up? We lost our
tempers and I said I didn't care to see him anymore.
(17:15):
He said the same, And we haven't spoken to each
other since.
Speaker 11 (17:20):
If you miss him, why don't you call him?
Speaker 13 (17:23):
I'm afraid if I call him, he won't talk to me.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
How do you know?
Speaker 13 (17:28):
I don't know. I'm just afraid he won't.
Speaker 11 (17:32):
No offense. But aren't you a little old to be afraid.
Speaker 13 (17:36):
You can be a little old for a lot of things.
You're never too old to be afraid.
Speaker 11 (17:40):
That's true. I've always been afraid of our basement. Start.
There's word stuff down there, and it smells funny, that
sort of thing. It's bothered me for years.
Speaker 13 (17:51):
The basements are like that.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Then I me and myself go down there to do
some laundry, and I found out it's not so bad.
All this time, I've been more about it. But if
you turn on the lights, it's snowpig deal.
Speaker 13 (18:03):
What's your point?
Speaker 11 (18:05):
My point is you should call your son.
Speaker 13 (18:09):
What if he won't talk to me, you still.
Speaker 11 (18:11):
Know, then you could stop wing about it and he
won't have to be afraid anymore. I don't care how
mad I was I talked to my dad, especially around
the holidays.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I don't know. Just give it a shot.
Speaker 11 (18:26):
For your granddaughter anyway. I'm sure she misses you and
the presence.
Speaker 13 (18:32):
I send her a check.
Speaker 11 (18:34):
Where's my grandparents? Said that they were shimming clothes last year.
I got a sweater with a big bird knitted on it.
Speaker 13 (18:41):
Oh that's nice.
Speaker 11 (18:42):
Not for a guy in the second grade. You can
get beat up for. Yeah, I have a friend who
got nailed because there was a womb where he wore
dinosaur pajamas.
Speaker 13 (18:55):
You better run along home where you belong. You think
about what I said. Okay, it's nice talking to you.
Speaker 11 (19:04):
I'm talking to you.
Speaker 7 (19:12):
What about you me?
Speaker 9 (19:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (19:16):
You and your son?
Speaker 13 (19:18):
You see what happens.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas. Jody, you brought up a very
interesting point because you know, from a thirty thousand foot view,
when I would watch this movie as a young person,
you're thinking of the slapstick of the Wet Bandits and
Daniel Stern and Joe Patch, and it's great, that's an
element of the movie. It's big. But this was such
(19:42):
a touching scene it made us laugh, it made us think,
it made even made you cry a little bit. What
a masterful scene. And you were saying that there is
a theory out there that Home Alone, in fact, is
a Christian Christmas movie, and explain that a little bit
more if you would play.
Speaker 9 (19:57):
Yeah, I really honestly don't think that that's a stretch
because the things that you know watching the movie the
first time as a kid, I remember thinking that's so weird.
Why are they showing us that his hand is injured?
Because you know, one of the things that you learn
as you get older is that there's no wasted time
in movies, So like, if there is something that they're
showing you, it's because it's gonna be relevant later on.
(20:19):
And I always was like, why why was this hand injured?
Speaker 7 (20:22):
Like what was that about?
Speaker 9 (20:23):
Because they see that it's like pierced in the bottom
and on top because there's a band aid over it
at the end, and then at the very very end
you see it's totally healed. So it's supposed to be
like Marley is like this christ like figure, like a
like a metaphor for it, because even in like the
opening scene or the scene where he's introduced into the film.
He's literally salting the earth. So I don't think it's
(20:45):
a stretch at all, because I was. I looked into it,
and actually, the two guys that wrote the script originally
are like really devout Christians, and there was a bunch
of stuff that they ended up cutting out because they
wanted it to seem, you know, more secular, because it's
very subtle. But I think that that's definitely a thing.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
Yeah, and John Hughes not necessarily known in that realm Christian.
But what do you make of Jody's interpretation.
Speaker 8 (21:07):
Yeah, I mean it's a very powerful scene, and you know,
it's all slapstick and silliness, and then you go there
and it really kind of brings the whole movie to
a different level.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Also, I love the line.
Speaker 8 (21:18):
Where he's where the older man says, you know, no,
everyone's welcome in church. Yeah, it's such a definitive statement.
It's a beautiful little moment there. And we also remember
that Macaulay Culkin was a heck of an actor. I
don't think he does much of anything now. I think
he's just retired and happy and just kind of touring
the country and talking to the press.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Once in a while.
Speaker 8 (21:35):
But he was a sensation for this brief spell. You know,
childhood doesn't last.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
But he was good. He could bring it.
Speaker 8 (21:42):
He could be silly, be grounded, interesting, be sweet.
Speaker 9 (21:46):
When I grow up and get married, I'm living alone.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
Those are just a flavor of some of our all
time favorite Christmas classic films. If you've got one you
want to mention, send it along five seven, seven, three
nine with Jody Calm and Christian Toto, Ryan Schuling on
the Right side of Hollywood, And when we come back,
we'll get their takes on our final nominees for our
twenty twenty five Full of the Year.
Speaker 7 (22:08):
After this, I didn't really have that choices.
Speaker 16 (22:30):
Firstly, yeah, every day, every time I was up, as
we called it, you know, I was up for the public, Yes,
and the days were long, so as you mentioned, to
save time, you know, I know, having a glam team,
a trifecta, it feels like a luxury, but it was
a time time necessity. There's absolutely no way that I
(22:54):
would be able to do my hair and make up
and have clothes ready at that fit, you know, because
where is the woman that can live off the rack?
Speaker 5 (23:06):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (23:07):
Michelle Obama two questions for Jody Calm as we come back.
Do you live off the rack? Jody and your Glam team?
Is it more trouble than it looks when they put
you all together?
Speaker 9 (23:18):
You know, my Glam team has it easy because they
don't have anyone on staff that knows how to tuck
my penis. Michelle Obama is definitely a woman off the
top rope.
Speaker 4 (23:33):
Jody Calm, I got to take a break, Christian save me.
Speaker 8 (23:37):
To say, I have never seen a more privileged person
to cry her privilege and make herself a victim than
of Michelle Obama. It's a magic act. I can't mean
Doug Hetting to be proud.
Speaker 4 (23:46):
Jody Calm went there, and we're moving on Sonny houstin
nominee number two, but not just that. She is our
defending twenty twenty four Full of the Year Champion belt
on the line. I'm an ali, a fool of the week.
Speaker 12 (24:02):
Here she goes, don't have cars, don't have driver's licenses.
So it's sort of a vestige of I think post
slavery laws where they where black people had to prove
their right to vote, and oftentimes they couldn't vote because
they couldn't pas some crazy tests or they didn't have
the appropriate ID. It also affects women women that are married.
(24:25):
Maybe your passport reflects something that's different on your birth
certificate or on your driver's license. So really the bottom
line is voter suppression. And I agree with him one
hundred percent. It's a brilliant notion that less voter ID
laws allows more people to vote, and most democracies do
(24:46):
it that way.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
We're the only ones that really don't do it that Jody.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Got to go to you.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
You're a married woman. When you got married, Was that
an impediment.
Speaker 5 (24:52):
To you voting?
Speaker 9 (24:55):
You know No, I think I think it helped because
I started voting the right way.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Love it.
Speaker 8 (25:04):
Yikes, Toto, it's embarrassing. I mean, the view is a
constant embarrassment. I mean this should be sort of an
honorary category for the view. It's just a foolish ensemble
day in day out. But Sonny, she brings it. Man,
you know, whoopy occasionally and whoopeople have these sort of
moments of clarity, Oh my god, she's not a complete moron.
I don't think Sonny ever has those.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
I want to always remind people Notre Dame conferred a
law degree upon Sunny Huston. Way to go fighting Irish
another reason not.
Speaker 5 (25:31):
To like them.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
Well then it's the playoff. Oh we're not gonna go
to a ball game. Representative Jasmine Crockett coming in hot
saying that all these Republicans in the past, well they
all got donations from Jeffrey Epstein, don't you know. But
even Caitlyn Collins, so CNN called her out on this one.
Speaker 15 (25:50):
You talk about Republicans taking money from a Jeffrey Epstein,
here's what you said, who.
Speaker 17 (25:55):
Also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein. As I
had my team digg in very quickly met Romney, the
NRCC Lee Zelden, George Bush.
Speaker 8 (26:08):
No.
Speaker 17 (26:08):
When Red McCain palin Rick.
Speaker 15 (26:13):
Lazio mentioned to Lezelden there he's now a cabinet secretary,
he responded and said it was actually doctor Jeffrey Epstein,
who's a doctor that doesn't have any relation to the
convicted sex trucker. Unfortunate for that doctor, but that is
who do it into a prior campaign of his?
Speaker 18 (26:28):
Do you want to correct the record on the people,
And I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein.
Just so you understand when you make a donation, your
picture is not there. And because they decided to spring
this on us in real time, I wanted the Republicans
to think about what could potentially happen because I knew
that they didn't even try to go through the FEC.
So my team what they did is they googled. And
that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans,
(26:51):
I at least don't go out and.
Speaker 9 (26:53):
Just tell lies.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Total a big feat. Crockett actually got Caitlyn Collins and
CNN to do real journalism.
Speaker 8 (26:59):
Yeah, that's quite a heroic.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
I mean it is.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Collins was so stunned by the idiocy on display there
she had to say something, I mean, it's so it's
such cringe. It's such cringe, and listen. She did frame
it in a way that gave her the wiggle room.
But the framing is actually even more embarrassing because she
knew she'd be called out in it. She knew how
bad it sounded, so the fact that there was so
premeditated makes everything about it even worse, absolutely embarrassing. You
(27:27):
should be shamed off the stage. And again, these alleged comedians,
the John Stewarts of the world. They don't play that clip.
No engine having a satirical news show and you don't
play that clip.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And Jody like John Stuart the frozen face, like you
just heard the stupidest thing ever. That would be it. Yeah,
right there, I won't do it.
Speaker 8 (27:46):
Truth teller, all right.
Speaker 4 (27:47):
Jody's got nothing on Jasmine Crockett. There's nothing to add
that said, she's our third nominee of the five. Let's
go to number four, Jimmy Kimmel. Notice the difference in
tone again this first part just days after Charlie Kirk
was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University, and
he's so smug. Then he got de panted by Sinclair
(28:08):
in affiliates that dropped his show, and suddenly he was
singing for his supper. We had some new lows over
the weekend with.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
The Magga Gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who
murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them
and doing everything they can to score political points from it.
I have many friends and family members on the other
side who I love and remain close to, even though
we don't agree on politics at all. I don't think
the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was
(28:38):
a sick person who believed violence was a solution and
it isn't it ever, And.
Speaker 4 (28:45):
Also selfishly.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Fly too.
Speaker 6 (28:51):
I am a person who gets a lot of threats.
I get many ugly and scary threats against my life,
my wife, my kids, my co workers because of what
I choose to say. And I know those threats don't
come from the kind of people on the right who
I know and love. So that's what I wanted to
say on that subject. But I don't want to make
this about me because and I noticed what people say
when they make things about them.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
But I really don't know this show.
Speaker 6 (29:15):
This show is not important.
Speaker 4 (29:17):
What is important is that.
Speaker 6 (29:18):
We get to live in a country that allows us
to have a show like this.
Speaker 4 (29:23):
Allows you to but you don't have a right to it.
And Jody, he didn't apologize, and he did make it
about him.
Speaker 9 (29:29):
Yeah, that's exactly what he did. And he did the
classic narcissist like non apology apology.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
And I'm the real victim here, even though Charlie just
got shot in the jugular and died. I don't see anybody.
I don't see anybody threatening Jimmy Kimmel in this way,
or maybe he has extra security that I don't know.
Speaker 9 (29:45):
About, or he's just lying.
Speaker 4 (29:47):
Yeah, Christian, we live in it.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
I got a death threat once because I said that
Bob's Burgers had jumped the shark. We're living a time
where people throw their round that there's variations of death threats.
I don't want to diminish it. I mean, Ben Shapiro
has to go with oh yeah, the significant security everybody goes,
so is Barry Wise. So I don't want to say
that this doesn't happen, that he doesn't get bad things.
But to turn what he said, which was cruel and
(30:09):
toxic and cold in an out and out lie, and
it was gross, and it was made for political reasons,
and to give that screed that he did, which was
lacking an apology, lacking in humility, all about himself just eyeact.
Speaker 4 (30:23):
To me, he made it worse.
Speaker 8 (30:24):
He actually made it worse. And his bumbling and his
crying and his teary eyed explanations is just despicable.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Really, that was really a seminal moment in the wake
of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and somehow it all
became about Jimmy Kimmel, our final nominee for twenty twenty
five Fool of the Year is the son of the
former President, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden. He goes ham on
Miranda Divine.
Speaker 14 (30:48):
There's no ethics in what, you know, like someone as
horrendously ugly as Miranda divine physically and in terms of
her uh, in terms of radthics? Does I mean she
is you know, a and then and and and that
(31:08):
goes for you know, you know, I mean daily mail
and you know, but I mean they're mores. I mean
they are worse for money, and you know, because she
makes money, and you know, when she goes to sleep
at night, I'm sure she sleeps just fine.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
You know.
Speaker 14 (31:26):
I don't know anybody that's going to be more than
her when she's gone.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
I think we person total what do you even to
start there?
Speaker 5 (31:34):
Wait?
Speaker 8 (31:34):
Do I even start? First of all, the fact that
the the interviewer didn't pounce sees on everything he just
said is such a dereliction of duty. He's a terrible
human being. I think we can finally just officially say
he's a terrible human being. And by the way, when
he's when he's attacking Miranda Devine, he doesn't have one
fact to corral, doesn't have one thing that she did wrong.
She's just a journalist who blew the whistle on him.
(31:55):
That was her crime and for that he has to
physically is to kind of accomplish attack her physically and
her morals. He is a disgusting human being. And you know,
I'm all for people having addiction and overcoming it and
turning their lives around, and he allegedly has done that.
When you allegedly do that, you have to do it
right and be kind and decent and be apologetic and
(32:17):
not attack the people who called you out for your
misdeeds exactly what he did, Jody.
Speaker 4 (32:21):
You said it was an an hominem attack and that's
all he got.
Speaker 9 (32:24):
Yeah, I mean he's already lost the argument obviously.
Speaker 5 (32:26):
Yeah. There it is.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
I who better to judge other people than their.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Ethics and whether they're whores or not and whether they
can sleep at night? Oh so much in that onion,
that rotten onion. That does Hunter Biden your votes to
close out the year five seven, seven thirty nine will
get the decision from Jody and Christian on the other side,
also some of the all time worst Christmas songs to
round out the Right side of Hollywood. After this.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
The Moon right.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Okay times, that's enough, stuck. This is the one I
was talking about in the earlier stages of this program
that it drives me nut. You hear the supermar you
can't turn it off? Paul McCartney, what are you doing
(33:31):
to us?
Speaker 5 (33:31):
Why?
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Jody? How awful is wonderful Christmas Time? But Paul McCartney, go.
Speaker 7 (33:35):
I love that it's still playing.
Speaker 9 (33:38):
I wanted Dad from shams a really slow.
Speaker 4 (33:42):
Yeah, really slow fade. I am my own worst enemy.
But we're taking nominations for worst Christmas songs of all
time to close out the Right side of Hollywood, along
with revealing our fool of the year, This one from
Christian Total But I tried to pick the most classic
version of this that's impossible to hate. How about Bing
Crosby and the Andrews Sister with Oh the Twelve Days
of Christmas?
Speaker 19 (34:02):
On the twelve Day of christ Love Center Me, twelve Dramas,
tends N's eight, seven Swans, sixeslamb five.
Speaker 5 (34:20):
Go, three french Men, two Turtles and a Party jet.
Speaker 9 (34:29):
And apart.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Question.
Speaker 4 (34:38):
You have to love that version.
Speaker 8 (34:40):
Make it's stuff. That version is a little less awful
than the other versions. The structure of the song doesn't
have a song in it. It's all like repetition. It's
all like a list. It's alistical, a lot of balistical.
Speaker 4 (34:51):
There's a lot of birds.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
I don't I'm not an answer bird. It's a listical
it's not a song.
Speaker 9 (34:57):
There is a lot of birds in that.
Speaker 4 (34:58):
Would that be orthophobic? The fact that you don't like
that song, Yeah, you can label me there. We're gonna
do that. It's too long, too terrible, and you're not wrong.
I mean it's obnoxious. Yeah, So I'm gonna be with
you that far on it. Save textors degree five seven
seven three Night and this one got a kind of
dig a little bit deeper into why Jody Calm considers
(35:20):
this to be the worst Christmas song here. I can't
it now. I just saw Trans Siberian Orchestra a ballerina.
They were wonderful, they were fantastic. Including this the Christmas canon.
This is the intro segment to it, and listen carefully.
Speaker 20 (35:39):
Stay Christmas Steamy, Christmas Steady, Christmas Steady, Christmas, steady Christmas,
shady Christmas.
Speaker 9 (35:52):
Stay Christmas.
Speaker 4 (36:00):
Okay. I don't know what's wrong with this. They're saying
the joy that he brings, but Jody, you say that
sounds like Jina. Let's say that again. Do they say
vagina instead of the joy that he brings?
Speaker 9 (36:14):
Hear it?
Speaker 4 (36:14):
Shan way in on this.
Speaker 9 (36:20):
Sing it, Jody, because I didn't even finish.
Speaker 7 (36:28):
You hear it in the end.
Speaker 4 (36:30):
He hears it now I can hear it. I can't
hear it either. Thanks for ruining Christmas once again, Calm.
I think it's the second time.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
That you've done that here.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
It's a little aggressive as a song, by the way,
it is aggressive, and that's just the beginning of it.
Speaker 8 (36:42):
I think the round whole format I'm not a huge
fan of. It's done delicately.
Speaker 5 (36:46):
I kind of dig it.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
But all right, we got a unanimous vote, I think
from the two of you on our Fool of the
Year cut to the Chase Real Quick, Crocket Crockett. It
is and our listeners agreed are twenty twenty five Full
of the Year. Representative Jasmine Krock you talked.
Speaker 15 (37:00):
About Republicans taking money from a Jeffrey Epstein here's what
you said.
Speaker 17 (37:04):
Who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein. As
I had my team digg in very quickly met Romney,
the NRCC Lee Zelden, George bush Win, read McCain, palin
Rick Lazio.
Speaker 15 (37:24):
You mentioned the Lezelden there, he's now a cabinet secretary.
He responded and said it was actually doctor Jeffrey Epstein,
who's a doctor that doesn't have any relation to the
convicted sex trucker. Unfortunate for that doctor, but that is
who do it into a prior campaign of his? Do
you want to correct the record on the people?
Speaker 18 (37:39):

knew that they didn't even try to go through the FEC.
So my team what they did is they googled. And
that is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans,
(38:01):
I at least don't go out and just tell lies.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
Jasmin Crockett Full of the air for Jody, Calm Christian,
total merry Christmas, everybody,
