Speaker 1 (03:25):
Let's see Dave on yet, Dave.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
It's Live Night, Second Tuesday, Second Twodays, liked Tuesday.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
Yeah, so I think tonight. Uh, I've got a few things,
but mostly talking about everybody's favorite memories. They're you guys's memories.
Not so much our memories, because we've already done an
episode on that, but your memories of favorite things in
the seventies. And so we're gonna be talking about we're
not gonna talk about the sixties tonight. Then we're not

(03:58):
gonna talk about the eighties tonight. Oh no, mister Wheeler,
we were going to talk about the seventies tonight. And
why is that?

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Because that was the greatest diat notes man.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yes, it was there.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
I remember to say it. I think had I forgotten
that before Stacy Johnson's watching. Stacy almost forgot it was
Live nightll. We probably should have put out a reminder.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
I meant to and I, yeah, I just forgot. Yeah,
I think when I thought of it at Callahans and
we were all in the middle of eating.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
So yeah, so I didn't.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
So if Susan Olsen or Cindy Brady happens to be
Dave asking either one doesn't matter. So we did announce
on one of the prior episodes that Susan finally did
friend me. And actually I've commented on a lot of
her posts and she likes and and she's actually commented

(04:59):
on some of my posts. Oh really yeah, one of
them about mister saucy Pants down here for And so
every now and then when I comment on her things,
I'll ask her, Hey, we want you to be on
the seventies Both podcast. So the answer to Dave's question
is no, not. I am not aware that she has

(05:20):
responded about being on the podcast, but we will get
her on this podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Okay, stateon How'd you Find That So Fast?

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Silkwood episode episode ninety six, twenty nineteen. Wow, that's quite
a while back.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
That's five years. Wow, that's crazy. How'd you find that
so fast? That was that's probably one of the things
he was. I'm good.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
So the question is, are you keeping track of every
episode that Dave calls and doesn't call on?

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Really state and you need to go back to work.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Now we're gonna right, We're going to write a book.
It's gonna be a big, a big thing.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
We are, yeah, using all.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Of our our listener's data that they're gathering. We are, yeah,
all about the life and times of two podcasters. I
mean at Oklahoma. It'll be a top seller.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
We will do an episode where all things will be revealed.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Oh that see, that'll be fun. How many episodes did
you count? Did you say tonight we're up to this
will be three sixty eight?

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I think fifty eight. I shall all. I don't know
why this won't keep the comments. There we go, Ray
and spring Bunkers watching.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
Ray and thanks for checking in. It's kind of slow tonight, Yeah,
I think we should have. Yeah, we done a reminder Oobs.
Anybody got any cool memory you want to share of
your Christmases in the seventies, So so Gretchen called Gretchen
called She's a Chick fil a right now? Maybe on

(07:10):
and she sent a picture of her what did she
give a year? She thought it was seventy eight, seventy eight.
And it's interesting because they had some of those little
felt elves before they became elf on a Shelf, which
I think I did too. I think I remember being
a kid mom having we had a couple of those

(07:33):
around the house.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
Some I never saw one of those creepy things until
they started being elf on a shelf, and.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
They weren't creepy, though the Anna Lee dolls were creepy.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
I guess, which are kind of the same, because yeah, yeah,
I was really confused on what's this elf on the
shelf thing? And it's just been the last what. Oh, well, the.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Girls were pretty young. We were living here the first
time when Elf on a Shelf stars, So it's.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Not I don't remember, but I guess it was. Well
back then there was no real social media that people
talked about it a lot, you know.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Not as much. Yeah, it had just yeah, I don't
think it was a social media thing. It was just
a home thing.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
Yeah, And I've seen these elf on the shelves that
actually there's video they're actually moving. Oh yeah, that whole
kind of like toy story.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, it's getting Yeah, it's getting more sophisticated every year,
and it's scary.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
And then the little turd he'll do mean things to
the kids, like drawing their face and stuff. Yeah, I
wouldn't want one of them things in my house.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
Well, if you don't have one, Santa Claus doesn't come.
So oh whatever, you got to have one and you
have to be good and you can't touch it or
Santa Claus doesn't come.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's that's not right.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
So stating is your grain kids going through? Anybody going
through Elf on a shelf?

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Right? Now, Ritchen, are you still with us? Anybody out there?

Speaker 1 (09:01):

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Just smile if you get hear something like that. Uh, okay,
So what do you got? Oh well do we uh
see they've called.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
They've called. Uh. Some of his stuff was yeah, I
gotta make said radio.

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yeah. He he and his sister were latch key kids
as well. Elf is evil, see told you? And uh,
the kitchens of the seventies kitchen gadgets equipment or whatever.
He Uh, he mentioned canisters, which we did not mention.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Uh, but we had it on the list. Our list
was so long we ran out of time. I didn't
get to all of them on my list. But yes, good,
good point out.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
Yeah, and he asked about Cindy Brady, in which we
already covered that. Yeah, so the other stuff is for bus,
said Radio Buzzi RADIOID radio. Yeah. So Heather says, the
elf is evil. I don't. I don't like it. Our
green kids do Elf on the shell, says Gretchen's still there.

(10:23):
I saw when we was at Callahan as well. Ago
I saw a Chick fil a commercial. Yeah, and the
chicken was just like hanging over the bun. It was like,
that didn't happen. That doesn't happen at all. You can't
even see the chicken.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
But that's like a McDonald's hamburger on the commercial, actually
the meat going to the edge of the bun and
the bun actually being puffed up. And yeah, yeah, that's
what you call that fake advertising.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Staton says he shows elf on a shell started in
two thousand and five.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Yeah, so our girls would have been just four yea
five kind of in that when we first got him.
I remember we got them here and the little girl
that lived on the corner came over one day and
touched one of them because the girl said, if you
touch them, Santa Claus doesn't come. And the girls came screaming,

(11:14):
bloody murder, crying into our bedroom because the little girl
had touched their elf on the shelf.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
That's just mean.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
It was quite a quite a deal.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
That's just mean, saying that poor girls traumatized. Does she
not have elf on a show? She didn't know. No,
she did not have elf on a shelf, so she
didn't know. She just does toy. Yeah, see, she says,
I gotcha, says that's nasty. I'm just having a few
waffle fries with my vitamins. Oh I I like their

(11:44):
waffle fries. Yeah, you gotta eat them quick though they
don't they get cold fast.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Yeah, and waffle fries aren't super good if they're cold. Now,
that's why you can't. Sometimes my family will be like, oh,
go drive through Chick fil and I'm like, yeah, that's
quite not quite the same driving through Chick fil A.
By the time I get home, everything's cold and soggy.
Called it shoggy, shoggy, They're shoggy. So, speaking of that,
I did have this What do you guys out there

(12:10):
in seventies buzz Land dip your French fries in other
than ketchup? And did we dip our fries in anything
other than ketchup in the seventies.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:23):
I think in the seventies it was pretty much just
ketchup now, you know, because we just ate at Callahans
and I dipped. I had no ketchup and dipped mine
in barbecue sauce and spicy mayo at the same time.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Yeah, I like mayonnaise mayonnaise.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Sometimes if I get a burger and a blotch of
mayonnaise falls off, that's always good to scoop up. A
lot of people And even on the commercial for the
new Wendy's Frosty, the Care.

Speaker 2 (12:56):
Care Caramel Caramel.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
Salt, I think they're dipping their fry in the new Frosty,
and I've heard it's good.

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Uh mayoonnaise with a geeky face. No, never fries assault only. No.
I've always dipped when I went to Wendy's, always dipped
French fries in my frosty just just a regular old frosty.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Yeah, yeah, no, if you guys have not dipped fries
in barbecue, sauce and spicy mayo at the same time.
So now we have the garage. It's a regional brand
of Hamburger chain. You can order like a whole bunch
of They have like a whole list of sauces you
can dip French fries in. It's like a thing. It's

(13:42):
like that. That's like their thing is to dip your
French fries in different.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
So you get like a flight of sauces. How you
could Carmel car car.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Oh so it is Caramel, Camel the new Caramel frosty.
Caramel's sea salt Frosty. I think I think it's got sea.

Speaker 2 (14:04):
Salt fries in white vinegar.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Ooh that's strange. But I don't like vinegar, so I
would never I could never do that. Uh interesting, Stacy,
She responded to Gretchen Carmel, that's Carmel, Carmel, that's Carmel.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
That's a little town in California.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Any any fun Christmas memories? I kind of remember my
One of my favorite Christmas memories is my mom. You know,
my mom never had tons of money. She was a
single mom raising two kids, but she always bought lots.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
You know.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
They might have been one dollar and two dollars items,
but that was all because so on Christmas morning there
was like fifty gifts under the tree. You know, it's
a twenty five for me and twenty five you know.
So it was always fun. Even though you open it
and it might be a pair of socks, it didn't
matter because you had like twenty four more to open.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
You know. So did they did she hold hold back
one like I opened that last?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
No, it was it was Santa Claus. So when you
came into the room there was one unwrapped, the big
one from Santa Claus. So so that was the big
And that's what we do with our girls.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Now, Hi, Shelley, Hey, Shelley.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
H Randy, Hey, Randy.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Now we got some more people checking in. And white
vinegar is an English thing. Huh oh wow. Never never
heard of that, uh Ray said. My favorite Christmas memory
was when we when of my dad surprised my little
brother on Christmas Eve with the kitten he rescued. Oh, car,

(15:50):
mole car, mole, car, mole car, mole. There you go. Yeah, okay,
that makes sense. Thanks Stacey for straightening that out.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
So, so we've got a ring doorbell, and I guess
for some reason, once we turned it on, it turned
on this thing about.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
This neighborhood deal.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
So we get notifications from neighborhood houses. And so we've
got like people walking all over our neighborhood like late
at night, like at two and three in the morning,
and they like walk up on porches and then leave,
and everybody's ring doorbell has been and some of them
have masks on. And anyway, I thought it might be
kind of fun to either dress up as Santa or
the Grinch just run around the neighborhood up on people's

(16:33):
porches so their ring doorbells will catch you and then
in the morning they can show it to the kids
and the kids will be like, look, Sen, it was
really here. So don't shoot me. If you see a
big green dude running through your yard on Christmas Eve, don't.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Shooting I like the Grinch.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Did you know that the Grinch originally was he did
it in black and white, Doctor Seuss. The book or
the story was in black and white. Oh really, the
guy that did the car tune saw a ugly green
car and decided to make the Grinch green because of
the ugly green car he saw.

Speaker 2 (17:15):
No.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, so originally doctor Seuss didn't have the Grinch as
a color.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Why w why why wait wait, just just just the
Grinch or all this stuff was black?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Way well, I think eventually he started doing color. Everybody,
hang on, since somebody just mentioned, hey, come here, Bud,
I don't think they know the new people don't know
that mister saucy pants store dug up, thunder, don't know
that mister saucy pants is in it. Could you want
to talk to everybody? Can you say hello?

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Can you say hello?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Can you wave?

Speaker 2 (17:52):
Wave at all the people?

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah? So this is Yeah, this is by far the
number one Christmas present ever.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Right here, Gretchen says, one of my nicknames when I
was a kid was Grinch. Oh really, why is that? Okay, buddy,
good boy?

Speaker 1 (18:13):
So if you guys are just listening to the podcast,
you do need to go check out mister saucy Pants
on the video because he was waving at you. Yeah, yeah,
there he is, Shelley, He's he's out here. Everybody's gone
at the moment. So he's hanging with us.

Speaker 2 (18:29):
Say hi, so, say hi, tor Hi. Everybody wants to
see your face, mister saucy pants.

Speaker 1 (18:42):
Yeah, I think I could probably have a million followers
if I just did videos of mister saucy Pants on
TikTok uh any other any other fun Oh, Gretchen doesn't know.
You don't know why they called you the grinch goodest boy? Yeah,

(19:03):
he's my will buddy.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
He's my whetl buddy. Aren't you my wheel buddy?

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Any other Christmas memories?

Speaker 2 (19:13):
Everybody out there, favorite toy, favorite toy.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
It's your favorite toy. Mine, I've talked about it before.
Was those kung fu kung fu men, and my uncle
got me when these days, I'm gonna remember what they
were called? Kung Fu fighting men.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Maybe that was a kung Fu fighting men. Steven's got
to go by stating, well, that didn't last long. See uh,
maybe just because it was kind of similar to my name.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
Oh oh yeah, I can see that grinching, grinching grinchin.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I see. I think grenching's a better nickname than blockhead.
Does Does Thor have a an IG account?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
You know now that you say that, he might? I
Denise might have started one for him.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I'll have to find out if he does. It's not updated,
but I'll check into that. We might have to start
updating that. Heyly Lily's checking in. So Lily is Mike's
wife Mike who Ritter? Oh who you were asking me
about earlier.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Oh, she's not on my feed. Oh she should be
there soon maybe. So yeah, mister suspence, Uh, the blockhead
is more fitting for sure, man.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Blockhead goes with Charlie Brown. So I kind of dig it,
you blockhead. That just seems rude. Oh, speaking of that,
I think it's I've got it on the Bushead Radio.
But it's not Christmas unless you guys watch the Charlie
Brown Special. And of course it's no longer on Network TV.

(21:04):
So this weekend, I believe, the fourteenth and the fifteenth
is the free weekend to watch Charlie Brown on Apple
TV without a subscription. Now you do have to sign up,
you know, for a free account. But once you sign
you just give them your name or email or something.

(21:26):
Then all weekend you can watch Charlie.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Brown and you watch other stuff. Yeah, that's a good question.
I don't know. I would think they would almost.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Have to How could they.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Do somebody try it?

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I'm a I'm I'm a member, so I don't know.
It would seem odd that would be the only show
it would.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Let you watch.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
So I bet, I bet everybody gets to watch the
whole thing for free this weekend. You're not a member,
try it when you this weekend.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Okay, if I can remember, I'll I forget. Yeah, well,
Gretchen's got it on DVD and VHS. There you go.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
Oh and did you guys happen to catch the root
off the red nose reindeer? It was like, so, so
if you guys watch any of my TikTok videos. One
of my little bits of trivia the other morning, which
I didn't know. It never dawned on me why Yukon

(22:26):
Cornelius was always licking.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
His pick axe.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
I thought it was because he just threw it up
and he was you know, the song is silver and gold,
so I thought he was searching for silver and gold,
and I just assumed he was licking the pick axe
to see if it tasted.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Like silver or gold.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
It just never dawned on me that you really can't
taste silver and gold, So it just but it never
dawned on me. Well, then I came across a fact
that in the original root Off the Red Nose Reindeer,
Santa Claus never went back to get the misfit toys

(23:03):
in the original version, and there was so there was
an extra room for.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
A scene and I won't tell you what the scene
is yet.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
But then then ABC got so many complaints that Santa
Claus did not go back for the misfit toys that
they added Santa Claus going back to get the Misfit
toys in the next versions. Well, because they added that,
they had to take out some scenes from the original

(23:35):
Rootolph the Red Nose Reindeer, and one of those scenes
was Yukon Cornelius saying he was searching for a peppermint mine.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
So that's what he was searching for, and.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
That's why after the pick axe would go in the snow,
he would look it seeing if there was peppermint on it.
And so this special that they did it was on
last week and then they're going to show it.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Again this week.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
They have all the scenes in it. It's so it's
kind of like like an extended version that you've never
really seen of Rudolph, and so it's towards the end,
Yukon says something about I found my peppermint mine or something.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
So so that.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Explains why he always licked his pickaxe. Oh, Jennifer checking in,
Hey Jennifer. So anyway, if you guys, if you guys
didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (24:24):
Let's lost my train of thought. So where where is
Rudolph going to be on? He like NBC or one of.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
The big three. Yeah, either NBC or ABC. And I
think today's Tuesday. It'll it's either Tomorrow night, Tomorrow Night,
Thursday and our Friday Night. I can't remember one of
those three nights. And it's basically just a replay of
the one they did last week, but it's that extended version.
So it so unless you watched it last week, it's

(24:51):
a version you've never seen. It's got like every scene
in it that they ever cut out, it.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Is put back in just for that, so excuse me.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Yeah, Dolly was on the island because she had Yeah,
and Dolly was on because she had mental illness.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Everybody's like, why was the doll on there?

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Is? Because she she was not happy?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
She was not a happy doll.

Speaker 1 (25:14):
Wow, So literally she did have depression and that's why
she was on the island. Wow, I have Rudolph too,
and mister McGoo Christmas Carol.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Cordneylis was a weirdo.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
He was kind of ah, so, ray Anne, do you
have on your DV version DVR version of it? I wonder, Oh,
you have a DVR so he recorded it. I wonder
if like on a CD that you buy in a store.
I wonder what version is on like a CD.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
A CD compacted or DVDVD? Oh, DVD.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
Anyway, There you go a little bit of trivia. And
then today's trivia was, even though it's not seventies, was
a Christmas story. I never realized that Ralphie's dad never
had a name. He literally has no name. In a
Christmas story, he's.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Called my old man or the old man. So when
they roll credits, it says Gavin McLeod, not Gavin McLeod.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Probably the old man. His name Darren mc Darren McGavin.
Yeah really, yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
I didn't know that. I didn't either.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yeah, so all kinds of fun fun sed off, did
you guys know?

Speaker 2 (26:31):
I don't know what year.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I think it was way earlier than the seventies, but
I want a Hippopotamus for Christmas was written by a
gal from Oklahoma City.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
Yeah, I thought she sang it. I thought they're to
sing it. I think she might have wrote it too though,
Oh really, I think huh, poor Thorp sitting over to
look out the window. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
And then a group of it's in Oklahoma City loved
the song so much they got they raised money and
had a hippopotamus ship to the Oklahoma.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
City Zoo for her.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
Oh and so so the Oklahoma City Zoo had a
hippo for quite a while. And then I guess she
was so popular that they moved to California because she
was too recognizable in Oklahoma. From something I read, the
director of Christmas Story was also directed Black Christmas.

Speaker 2 (27:30):
I love, Like, what's black Christmas? I don't know. I'm
not sure if I've seen Black Christmas. It's Black Christmas
rhy yeah or yeah right, Yeah. I caught Santa Claus
Is coming to town last night.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Yeah, Mickey Rooney, Fred Astaire, that's a good one. And
I think free Form, free Form and a couple other
channels are like showing the old Christmas shows just over
and over, just on a cycle. So but not like
the good ones, not Charlie Brown or Rudolph. The weird
Rudolph ones are showing, but not the Rudolph.

Speaker 2 (28:05):
Yeah, I haven't watched anything yet.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
I think I've seen I've seen Wonderful Life, Polar Express,
Charlie Brown.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Polar Express is hard to watch. It is.

Speaker 1 (28:15):
It's weird, but I don't watch it because I'm I
kind of like the music, some of the music, so
I kind of.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
On the dialogue. It's got really good dialogue.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah, the eyes are too weird. Yeah, it's yeah, it's
I can't believe they.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Did it that.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
They they looked at a test of the movie and
kept going with it.

Speaker 4 (28:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
I think i'd have been like, yeah, let's try some
other technology. That's notice, that's the only one that they
ever made that's weird like that.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Uh. The they did Red ten ten kind of like that.
Did the people have weird eyes? I don't know about
weird eyes, but it was that animated but not quite animated,
you know. I guess I didn't see that one. Black
Christmas is a horror story in the seventies with Margaret
Cader and Olivia Hussey. I don't think I've ever heard.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
I don't think I I think I'm now that you
say that. I think I've heard of it, but I
don't think i've ever seen it. Huh, black Christmas Christmas,
I'll go kidder with hilarious in the police scene when
she was giving the officer their phone number. Okay, now
I go watch it. Yeah, maybe all put me in

(29:21):
the Christmas spirit. D doesn't have a tree, have I
guess we're not going to get a live tree this year.
See that's the thing about when Thanksgiving comes so late,
it's like there's just not enough time to really bother
to go get a tree and haul at home and
decorate two trees, and so yeah, so I think we're not.

(29:42):
But I think there's been a couple other years where
we haven't gotten a real tree. But normally we we
decorate both. We'll have a real tree at one point
in the house and an artificial somewhere else.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
So we always got our Christmas tree Friday after Thanksgiving,
and we always got a live tree. There was no
every and there was never any let's get a fake.
That didn't even when I was when I was a
kid in the seventies. Yeah, we never even considered it.
The only artic tree. Only artificial tree I saw was
at school, those little silver ones.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
That yeah, and those were actually the aluminum type that
went out of business because of the Charlie Brown cartoon.
Charlie Brown cartoon literally put aluminum Christmas trees out of
business because Charlie Brown didn't like aluminum Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 (30:30):
Oh wow. But we'd get ours a Friday after Thanksgiving
and take it down New Year's Day and that sucker
was so dry and shoving it through the door. There
was just all those thousands and thousands of needles, FIfF
pine needles shooting off everywhere. Man. Yeah, uh across from

(30:55):
a manual Baptist church. We always got our tree there.

Speaker 1 (30:58):
Yeah, So Shelley, if you didn't know, that was the
cop Kopp family farm, and I believe they're from Wisconsin
north and so he retired I think two years ago.
So we used to get our Christmas tree there with
the girls and we would take a picture with mister
cop every year. And then when he retired and moved

(31:19):
up there at Redbird Farm here in Enid. Now they
take a truck and they drive up to the cop
family farm bring back a whole truckload of the trees.
They take a picture with him while they're up there,
and then they come back and then that's the tree
that will usually go buy, is We'll go to Redbird
Farm and buy one of the cop family trees.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
So why do they do that they got their own.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
Trees tradition because people like us that we just I
think they're just trying to get those people that were
loyal to the cop family farm to make a new
tradition with them and then eventually they'll phase it out.
But it's just to I think it's just to start
have family, start a new tradition out there at Redbird Farm.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Stacy says. Rudolph will be on NBC Thursday at eight
pm Eastern Standard. Thank you, Stacy, appreciate that needed that.
Gretchen always had an artificial tree. Oh wow, interesting. I yeah.
And then for the longest time in my adult life,

(32:22):
we always had the fake trees. But and I haven't
had a tree in three years now. It would be
my third year without a tree.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Oh my, I had just nobody home, I know, but
look up there, see up there on my top shelf.
You should at least have one of those. Oh yeah,
what little Charlie Brown Christmas tree with one ball.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
They're selling those at the lumber yard. It should have
got one. My grandparents had a lumnon tree and we
had the big lights that were yellow, blue green shining
on it, the C nine bulbs. It was the thing
of nightmares. Yeah, and I was like taking this icles
and then melting them on the lightbulbs. Yeah. Those things

(33:04):
were incredibly hot.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Icicles were huge back in the seventies. Everybody had icicles.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
I haven't had a tree and like seven.

Speaker 1 (33:12):
Shelley, shame on you, Holy moly, how can you go
that long.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Without a Christmas tree? I'm trying to think if I
ever had a tree in my single days. I don't
think I did.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
But I came home and Mom had always had one
at Christmas, so I didn't. I guess I didn't really
need one.

Speaker 2 (33:34):
Grief grief, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
No, it's good grief, good grief.

Speaker 2 (33:41):

Ah thors whining, buddy, hang.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
On, hang on, We'll let you go after the end
of the How are we doing on time? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Wow, we got a waste to go. We need more
seventies Christmas memories come home.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
Bring them on, Rodney. We're talking about memories of Christmas
in the seventies. What do you got there? I watched
Silent Deadlight from nineteen eighty four and YouTube last Saturday
after watching the Christmas Chronicles. Y'all can keep the touchy
feely stuff. I love horror movies. It's gonna say. I
don't think i've seen that one either. I remember it
when it came out. I'm not into horror movies at

(37:53):
all anymore, are you not?

Speaker 4 (37:55):
No?

Speaker 1 (37:56):
I am, But it's for me. It's kind of a
October thing. Yeah, I really enjoy him in October.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
And well, there's a new one out on Prime. I
think it's called Dear Satan. Oh really, with Jack Black.
It's like a comedy. A kid's writing a letter to
Santa and he transposed.

Speaker 1 (38:18):
Yeah, I saw commercials for that. Don't forget if you lie,
it's not so much. I guess it is kind of
a horror movie. Is the one about the talk show
set in the seventies?

Speaker 2 (38:29):
Oh, I can't forgetting. It's not a Christmas movie, but
it's it's a it's.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
A wild movie.

Speaker 2 (38:35):
I can't Why can't I remember the name of it?
But nestor the Long Eared Donkey in the seventies.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
Oh, there we go.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Never heard of that one. I kind of remember that.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
Was it a animation, one of the Clay animation or
maybe I'm thinking of the donkey from The Little Drummer Boy.
Rodney says the fire music on the Giant Meg Maddic
with Elvis and Dean Martin Christmas.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Oh, I did like those Christmas specials. Yeah, those are fun.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Late Night with the Devil. Yeah, you guys got to
see that. It's a good one. Yes, claymation. Yeah, I
think I remember that one. Talk about creepy the Little
Drummer Boy that anim Have you seen that in a while?

Speaker 2 (39:27):
The Little Drummer Boy.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Boy, his face and his smile, it's a little creepy.
I can't believe we weren't a little more creeped out
as kids watching that in the seventies. I think that's
why they don't show it on regular TV. You can
catch it on like free form.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
Every now and then. Damn magnavouks.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, his his Are you doing voice voice detext?

Speaker 2 (39:51):
Oh yeah, you gotta watch that. You can't hit the
send button too quick.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
Yeah, those were always good, good stuff.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
I was watching. I was down at the warehouse yesterday
and because you know, I don't have a life, and
you know, it keeps, he's been playing Christmas music and
I'm like, okay, I listen to Christmas music. Anyway. He
was talking about that old movie. It's not Christmas related,
but the original gone in thirty seconds or sixty seconds.

(40:21):
Oh yeah, and we got to talk about it. Said
I'm gonna go home and watch that. I couldn't watch it.
It was so hard to watch. Oh really, the the
uh the sound was it just didn't it didn't sound good,
you know, it was almost like almost like the words
didn't fit the math. It was done in a different language. Almost. Yeah,

(40:45):
it was so hard to watch. I couldn't. I couldn't
keep watching. I don't think I've never seen it. It's
if if you just get to the good part in
the end, you know where they're tearing up all the
cars and stuff. But terrible acting. Nobody famous, huh. But
it was made for like with like sixty thousand dollars
or something in the seventy four.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
I think it was it met Otter's jug band that
was big in the seventies. Yeah, late seventies.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
Alright, well I'll let hey, buddy, I'll let you go
in here in a minute. Hang on, he ain't go
on book YouTube has a bunch of Christmas specials. The
Christmas special I remember the most. I can't remember what
year it was was Danny Andy Williams, and he had
a really really hot wife, remember her, And then she

(41:38):
wound up having an affair with some some skier, some
famous skier or something. Spider. His name was Spider.

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Oh, yeah, I remember that now that you say that, Yeah, Spider.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
But she was, oh, she was hot. She was like
France or something French. But I was like, yeah, I
haven't watched any Christmas specials this year. Always liked the Carpenters. Carpenter's,
not the Carpenter's. Always like Carpenter's Carpenter's. That would be
a good one to rewatch, did they they? I wonder

(42:10):
how many years they had Christmas specials. It seems like
it seems like if they didn't have one, they were
on one. Yeah, of course Paul Linn's Christmas special. No,
that's Halloween.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Now.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
I think with kiss I think the Brady Bunch had
maybe a Christmas special later on. Susan Olsen has been
posting some of those, and they're they're pretty their variety
shows that they did after the show, while they were
all a little older. They're some parts are pretty cringey. Yeah,
Bing Crosby specials every year being.

Speaker 2 (42:46):
You know, that's not his name. I did not know that.
I didn't either. What did I say?

Speaker 1 (42:52):
I can't remember what it was now it's oh great.
It's like Lilis something. Lili's just like a regular name
something Lilis Crosby.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
Lilis isn't regularly.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Well, Lilis is his middle name, but her first name
is like, I don't know, Bob or something fairly common.
He's looking it up, uh something, Lilis Crosby. But I
guess when he was a kid he either ran around
going bing bing bing when he was shooting a gun

(43:26):
or something that he got the nickname when he was
a kid and it kind of stuck with him.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
Harry Harry, Harry Lillis, Crosby, Harry Lillis did not know
that should listen to Curtie's tiktoks every day you learn
all this stuff I hear. It seems like I remember
he was kind of mean too as a dad. Yeah,
I kind of remember that. It was hard on the kids,
kind of like I leave it to beavers a little hard.

(43:52):
Last night, Gretchen says, love that song which little drummer
boy with being Crosby and name that is a good song.
It's real good. What was she madter? Buddy?

which who knows they could be. Any other great memories
you guys have of the seventies.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
Oh, I'll just turn my phone off, Dad, gum, it's
by gone. I remember.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
Church programs, having to go to church and sing.

Speaker 2 (45:26):
I remember.

Speaker 1 (45:27):
I remember when I was little and my dad was
still with us. We were living in Turkey, and I
distinctly remember having to go sing. I think it was
either school or church Christmas program and knowing that I
had to leave and I was going to miss the Grinch.

(45:49):
Oh yeah, And of course in the seventies, if you
miss a TV show, you don't see it till next year.
I think I got to watch like a little bit
of it before we left for the Christmas concert or whatever.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
But they should know better than to schedule at the end.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
I know, and I think I even have a picture
of me that night, I got like this vest on
and bow tie, and I think part of the performance
I turned around and face backwards, like half of the performance.

Speaker 2 (46:19):
I hated doing those for school too. We didn't school every.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
I think I think it might have been for school,
maybe not church. It was it was in Turkey, but
it was on the base.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
So, uh, Rayvarcus is the storm of seventy eight that
nearly destroyed Massachusetts. I don't remember that. That put a
damper on Christmas. You know.

Speaker 1 (46:38):
I hated it when you got something cool, like a
bicycle or trampoline. Now we got a trampoline letter but
and then it's like freezing cold on Christmas Day and
you can't go outside and play. Would you need toys?

Speaker 2 (46:52):
That was never fun. I did like my little helicopter
that went around circle. Yeah, those were always cool. What
was that?

Speaker 1 (47:00):
Don't even think of what that was called.

Speaker 2 (47:01):
But somebody posted those on that on Facebook the other day.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah, pretty cool, Buddy quit Wine.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
And I was in junior choir at.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Church and we always sang the Christmas Eve service. I
love that. Yeah, it's always kind of fun, I mean
kind of family and Christmas songs and yeah, so we
have a tradition now where we go to church on
Christmas Eve and sometimes and a lot of times we
try to find like the latest service.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
They have, like at eleven or whatever. So eleven.

Speaker 1 (47:37):
Oh yeah, you got to have dinner and you rap
presence and then you run to church and then you
come back and you're ready to ready for Sandy Claus
to come.

Speaker 2 (47:47):
You say you're gonna get back. It's going to be
Christmas already.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
