Speaker 1 (00:03):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
first morning show? What? Do we have a full house
today for the the fifteen minute Morning Show podcast. Yes,
we've added producer Sam Oh, there you go. There's frogg Ei,

(00:25):
there's Danielle, there's Gandhi, there's Sam, there's Scotty b and
there's a straight Nate and there's Scotty and there's Garrett
and there's a Dave Brodie. What's that? I'm behind you
in the den. Well, that is my zoom background of
City Field where the Mets play. That's your zoom again,
since Android can't do a zoom background, I've created my own.

(00:49):
It is superior background. Let's use our imagination. You're up
in your own private sky box and that's the window
looking down on the field from skybox of course now
using paneling, yes, it looks the only fan in the stands,
because yeah, there is that. All right? So, um, what's
our I'm telling you? After yesterday's podcast, I didn't know
if we were going to come back and do another one.

(01:10):
It was just so I have tasteful and so gross.
I have a suggestion for today based on myself watching
the holidays. Um, I think we need to go around
and talk about our favorite and least favorite Christmas movies
or holiday movies. Now can it be a Christmas movie
that we think it is Christmas movie? But other people,
like for instance, die Hard with a die Hard one

(01:33):
and two, people say you either or is not. You
can qualify it as a movie you like to watch
around the holidays. Because I watched The Holiday. What a
piece of crap it? You know they called it. They
had this thing called reasonable suspension of disbelief where you
have to suspend reason when you watch a movie. There
was no reason watching this movie. It was so none

(01:55):
of that would have happened. I'm sorry, none of that
would have happened. Those people would have banged immediately. Um,
they would have not talked to each other. I think
you're giving away you're giving away some of the dry
on the lawn than watch that movie. But you have
to understand it's just a fun movie that you don't
have to think about. You just enjoy two people falling

(02:15):
in love and having fun. It's Christmas, not winning an
Oscar guy. Seriously, you're going into it like, oh, this
is going to be a Meryl Street winner. Suicide was tacking.
I lost more brain cells watching that than I did
for the Two Strokes. Can we all agree that there
are some there's some movies that some of us are
gonna like him something like I did not care for it.
I do love my Poland Spring origins Back to you,

(02:41):
what Holiday movie do you think is a piece of
crap other than Holiday a piece of crap? Yeah? Oh,
I thought you like to come back to me on that. Okay,
I got one. The Santa Claus three with yea with
Martin Short, Martin Short that jumped the shark at that point,
I mean like just ended at two. No need to
bring in Jack Frost to kind of take over Santa

(03:03):
Claus's rain. We all know that's never going to happen.
So okay, I don't even remember seeing it exactly for
good reason. And here's here's another one you never saw
that is the worst thing ever Home Alone four you
can only find on YouTube that my kids made me watch.
It was horrendous. There's four Yes, is there Christmas in
that one? I think so well? On YouTube? I've never

(03:29):
heard of Home Alone. Nobody would have learned their lesson
after the first three times. No one did. Oh I
know it was terrible. Have you guys seen Crampus? Oh,
cramp is good if you're a horror movie. It's not
a normal Christmas movie. It's a horror movie. It wasn't
even scary even a little bit. I laughed through the
whole thing. I was like, this is the thing I'm
supposed to be afraid of. But you know what, spirit

(03:51):
Halloween has an awesome Crampus. Uh, Halloween animatronic. It's huge,
like the terrifying goat in s I'll give you the
worst ever Halloween film. Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas? Anything with
Kirk Cameron? First of all, was that growing Page was good?

(04:12):
Was that after he joined that cult? Was that he
turned he turned into a raging asshole? Yeah. I think
I saw a part of that, and I still think
that was better than Holidaying with Holiday was that it
was on Netflix, so people expected it to be a
lot better. If it would have been like a Lifetime movie,
you guys would have been loving it. Holidates, they made it.

(04:32):
That's the problem with it. Should you know, had it
played on on Lifetime or Hallmark, it would have made sense.
But they don't play They don't play movies where people
give each other hand jobs exactly. They're not gonna put
hand jobs on the Hallmark channel. Well maybe they should.
They need they needed an adult holiday channel like Hallmark

(04:52):
Spice right now to find some There was a movie
called Fred Claws and it was so awful. It had
Paul Giamat and it was about Santa Claus's little brother
who was pissed at Santa Claus got all the attention
and I don't even remember. I don't remember getting through
the entire freaking thing. But it was pretty bad. Funny enough.

(05:15):
My friend worked in an agency in in l A
that got the script for Fred Klaus and he goes,
I can't wait, this movie is being made. It's the
funniest thing I've ever read. And then the movie comes
out and it was the biggest bird ever. To show
you that just because something's written really well doesn't mean
it will translate well to a logo for your network.
H J Hallmark hand jobs very good. Anybody's seen Santa

(05:42):
with muscles? Hogan plays Santa Claus. That's how That's how fabulous.
Here's your gift brother. Oh and Jingle all the way too,
Like they should have just stopped at Jingle all the
way the list of twenty two worst Christmas movies ever,

(06:04):
and you guys are naming them one at a time.
What else is well? Home Alone three is on here
unaccompanied minors, noel uh Christmases? Wait? Wait an right? Yeah,
that looks good. No, it says Susan Sarandon, Paul Walker,

(06:24):
Penelope Cruz, and Robin William h. Fred Claus is on here.
Four Christmas is Santa Claus conquers the Martians. I'll Be
Home for Christmas with Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Jessica Bale.
And Let's See the Christmas Candle two thousand thirteen, starring

(06:44):
Hans Exactly Fred Claus. Another terrible one, Santa Claus the
Movie starring Christmas. Did you guys ever see that one?
Oh my god, it's one of those shows that's so
bad that like TBS will run it on repeat because
nobody they don't care if that thing runs over and over.
It's Tyler, Tyler Perry's Media Christmas. Great movie. That's a

(07:10):
that's a classic, Mixed Nuts with Steve Martin and the
last I saw Wait Wait Christmas with the Cranks. I've
moved all the way, Jingle all the Way with Schwarzenegger.
That's not a terrible one. That's Santa Claus three, which

(07:32):
scary said. A Merry Frigging Christmas with Joel McHale and
Robin Williams, Black Christmas with Michelle Trachtenberg, An American Carol
two thousand eight with Kelsey Grammar, Terrible Mixed Nuts is
on here. Surviving you've read this is the last last

(07:54):
two Deck the Halls and Surviving Christmas with Ben Affleck
and James Gandelfini. Wow, that was making rest in Peace. Yeah,
this is just one website. Wait, so, Daniel, did you
talk about the films that are out tonight? Really good
ones we should be watching. Well, the one that I
watched yesterday, which you know, it's a little slow in

(08:14):
the beginning, but you got to give it a chance.
It sucks. The Happiest Season with Kristen Stewart. It's on
Hulu and it's about these two girls who are dating
and one of them obviously is not out of the closet,
and the whole thing with the family. You know how
it goes. But it's really cute and it ends up
happy and it's nice and it's just you know, it's
all Christmas and I love Daniel says it starts slow,

(08:36):
you gotta give it a chance. That means an hour
and a half. The credits at the end are also
one of my favorite Daddy's Home Too. I don't care
what anybody says Daddy's Home Too if they classic Christmas
movie on your hand. Good to back to the holiday
for just a quick second. So do you think when

(08:58):
Kristin Chenowith is reading those lines, did she in her
head have some sort of interior monologue saying, just just
focus on the paycheck, Just focus on the paycheck. They
have to like, there's no way she could deliver those
lines with a straight face and and do it knowing
that she was enjoying what she was doing. She plays
a cougar right up your alley. Did she get a
fake tan for that movie? Because I feel like she

(09:19):
had a fake Tandy very brown. Yeah. We talk about
the movies we like for Christmas. I have so many.
My favorite I watched every single year because I'm a
big Mary is uh Antimame. Of course Antimame is not
a Christmas film, but a major part of the film

(09:39):
is Uh. It happens around Christmas time and they say
you know, it's we need a little Christmas right this
very minute. But they'll see it in Antimame. That's not
the musical version, but it's the best movie ever. Go ahead,
but that's almost like die Hard, though I've switched over
from die Hard. Diehard is not a Christmas movie anymore.
Ms No, because it happens during the Christmas season, but
it's not based around Christmas. They're killing people, a lot

(10:01):
of people dying Merry Christmas. But just because he has
a Christmas tree doesn't make it a Christmas movie exactly. See,
my dad and I used to love a lot of
like Classics with Bing Crosby and Danny Kay and Fred's
stare Like White Christmas is amazing. Holiday in is one
of my favorites. Oh my gosh, all of those. And
it always reminds me of my dad because back in
the day when we had you know, VCRs, he bought

(10:24):
me the box sets of like both of those and
it was like it had the book and it was
all the colored photos and and it always reminds me
of him. And I have to watch them every single
year because they're so good. Okay, So speaking of that,
Danielle Miracle on thirty fourth Street, the original with Edmund Gwynn.
You know, yeah, okay, so he plays quote unquote Santa
Claus Chris kringle Y. I watched it for the first time,

(10:46):
all the way through. I think he was just a
crazy old man. That's what they thought too, That's why
they took him to court. Actually was a resident of
that retirement community, you your old age home or whatever,
and he wore the costume. I think he was just
not all there. He pulled off some Christmas miracles in

(11:09):
that film. You know, he did the cane in the doorway.
Luck n he was. Back then, it was common for
other people, for people to speak several languages because they
were immigrants. I have no doubt that the man spoke Dutch,
but it was probably because he came from from from

(11:30):
This is why he was Santa. You don't like the holiday,
you don't even like that, forget it. I don't like
it's a wonderful world. I mean miracle and miracle on Street.
They had to take him to court to prove he
was Santa. Then all of the letters to Santa came
in improved that that was a clerical error. My god,

(11:55):
I just have to point out Nate your last two
days of around the room. We're just shipping on Christmas
in some ways, shape or form than here's what I
say to you. It's a little a little backstory behind everybody. Uh,
you know, we're passionate about these movies, right. Scary doesn't
watch a lot of movies. So you notice Scary very

(12:15):
quiet because he can't chime in because he doesn't know.
Have you ever watched It's a Wonderful Life start to finish,
of course, and mill the classics? I just don't get
an adult I'm sorry, what as an adult? As an
adult recently? No, it's been a while. Yeah, one of
my my parents made you watch it? You watched it?
You know? Yeah? No, you know I watched the stuff

(12:37):
that's just in front of me. Sometimes. I used to
watch It's a Wonderful Life with my parents on Christmas
Eve every year. So i'd like that movie, if Christmas Story,
I'll watch those because their nostalgia. But I don't really
get into like the jingle all the ways or the
these you know, actually have you ever seen? But if

(12:57):
you show up at my door with a bunch of
like note and and be like, here's what you need
to do. I'm shutting the door. I'm shutting the door
in your face. I'm not reading your notes. Is that
from a movie? What are you talking about? Love? Actually,
he loved with the woman that his best friend Mary,
and he goes and shows up at the door. If
you haven't seen you haven't seen it by now, you

(13:18):
don't want to see it. Yeah, it's good. King Kong dies,
what shame everyone? The house falls on the witch. Still,
the best was when Elvis did the Sixth Sense, like
ten years after the sixth CeNSE was out and we're
doing the biggest movies ever and Elvis gave away the

(13:40):
ending that was one of my favorite parts ten years
after ten years. People should forget it. You know, you
should have known how the movie ends. Okay, Kelly Clarkson
wins the first American idol. That's from the damn it,
damn it? Alright, is it, Lisa? No, Rocky was just

(14:03):
dragging his ass across the bed comforter down. Stop it an.
How much time do we have, Froggy, I gotta dog
to thirty seconds? Yeah, my dog obviously needs to quat too.
Your dog has itchy anus bed? Yes, yeah, Daniel, that's

(14:26):
the bed you're sleeping. How you doing today, I'm dragging Ask.
We gotta go by the fifteen minute morning show
