I'm sorry, that's it. You guys knew about this?

Speaker 1 (00:24):
Yeah, prob, I never knew. It's a song we play favorite.
I love it.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
That's fantastic. Can I can I toot your guys this
morning real quick? Please too. I was listening to because
when I'm in the car, I listened to you guys.
But when I'm out of the car, I listen to
my phone, which is naturally Spotify, and I listened to
Christmas music on Spotify. No, that's what I'm getting to.
But I was listening to it. I was it was lacking.
They were all the same. They were all the same hits,
which are great. And then I'm like, I downloaded. I

(00:49):
downloaded your ap. You guys do such a good job
of curating the music. Like I guess, it is a
It is a wild difference. I even post and on
my Facebook about it. Oh my gosh, so you know
that it's true.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
On the basebook.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
Yeah, right on, But I mean that genuinely. I can't
believe it took me this long. I'm an idiot.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I think it's really nice. How in the holiday spirit
you are this year.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Very festive. You're like a new Alan Long Street. It's
almost like your your soul has been cleaned.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Lifted, right, A happy guy, you know, Yeah, just walking.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
On sunshine like Katrina. But no waves, no wave, no waves. Well,
if you're going to finish all the jokes, I'm not
going to do the man. No, no, it's fine. You
watched Charlie Brown Christmas with your family? Yeah, sure, here's
some things you didn't know about a Charlie Brown Christmas.
It only had a budget of seventy six thousand dollars
from CBS and Coca Cola to get made and a
six month time frame, which back then was actually I

(01:45):
shouldn't say only it was a lot of money.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I was going to say that was probably like a
quarter of a million dollars. And all it took was
some guy had to draw some stuff and some guy
had to flip.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
It right, flip it, color it, color it. Yeah, there
was almost an added laugh track. But Charles Schultz wouldn't
let that happen.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
It was a smartness.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
I've got to love that guy. Yeah. Number three, Snoopy's
voice is just sped up nonsense. I don't remember Snoopy talks.
Snoopy makes little noises and it just sped up fast. Yeah, okay,
Schult thought jazz music was awful, but thought it still
fit this vision for the special. So that's why it
has the look.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And beyond what he hates, man, what a minch.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Charlie Brown's head was difficult to animate because of its
round shape. Snoopy was the easiest.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
That's kind of weird. Well, I think that it would
make a difference. I wonder if Snoopy was the easiest
because they started with him laying on a doghouse, because then.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You just gave me a whoop whoop feet And finally,
because it's uh, it's been around for sixty years. Sixty
years ago that cartoon. That Christmas Special killed aluminum tree
sales because people started feeling Christmasy and getting a real
Christmas tree like they did in the special was like that.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Well, did you also hear that the kids who sang
Christmas Time is here? In Hark the Harold angels sing,
we're not child actors. And they never got paid for that.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, it sounds like Hollywood.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
That seems like they got taken out for ice cream.
That was that was their payment. People have always been horrible.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, always a heck of an ice Yeah, Merry Christmas, kids, adults, whatever.
And I'll never forget how we look at my other
wives this weekend, well Thursday, I mean, yea, yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
We're we're good. We're cold.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
No, we're not good.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
No, this is a bad weekend. I've been really honestly
put in my mind that next week because we get
to forty for like maybe even all the way through Christmas.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
But this weekend tough.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Sunday morning, single digit chill, actually probably sub zero chill,
maybe even ten blows here, So yeah, better cold stuff,
