We're recording this towards the very end of the year and it's been fun it's been a good time some say it's the most wonderful time of the year some say that spoiler but uh because these shows are evergreen which is also one of the trees that grow a lot during this month like to be very

pretty and put in your house but because the show is evergreen you know we don't want to date it by any stretch of the imagination no no you don't want to say like ah that's christmas songs we would never be caught exactly all right it's time to read a review review asaurus regs like we've got two today this one comes in from kelphon across the universe from Canada. Does that mean it's in Canada or it's like exactly on the opposite? End of the universe in Canada. Side of the, oh, the universe.

I would not know the name of that. It's from Edenic. All right. Well, from five stars. From one dad to another, this is awesome. And I can listen with my kids in the car. Keep up the good work. this is awesome and i can listen with my kids in the car keep up the good work and also from zwingate five star it's like all the dumb thoughts i have are being elaborated upon and it brings me

great joy and a lot of laughs love the show never stop scatting never so al borland are you here with us can you say hello hello all right he's here uh i want to we've never done a two pack of reviews no these were short they were sweet and i liked them both so i threw them in there oh it would yeah it just kind of to me when i read two of them it kind of insinuates you know when we read one review it's like i know where you're going we picked one great review out of the plethora of reviews we this is like this week this week we got two. That's what I'm saying. This week we got two reviews total. Thanks to our two reviewers out there.

You should have seen the thousands I had to comb through to pick these two. Yes, thousands. That's probably true. Dozens. Across the whole universe, many reviews. Thank you very much for supporting the show. It's time to move on, I'm afraid. Would you rather?

All right. Did you already read it, Mike? Is that what you're laughing at? I haven't read it. I have not read it. I just did. All right, let's see. I apologize to Kelphon, who listens in the car with his children.

Oh, no. No, it's fine. I would have this conversation with my kids. All right. Chris from the website wants to know, would you rather have to say hello to everyone like dogs? So that's like the mutual butt sniffing. Oh, okay.

So that's the greeting. You'd have to say hello with just a little sniff. A little sniff. A little whiff. Do I get a whiff of that? Or always have to bathe like cats. So you just lick yourself clean. All of your bathing is licking yourself clean.

Give me a break. That can't clean you. If anything, like maybe for cats. Does this presume unlimited amounts of saliva? Yes, unlimited amounts of saliva, which does not make this any better. There is no way that I am cleaner with my saliva all over me than if I just never bathe. So these are two impossible choices because you can't go up to someone and sniff their butt. That's just not okay.

But see, I have two questions. No, but they're into it. It's a social norm. It's like some countries you kiss on the cheek. Yeah. For this, we sniff on the butt. You sniff the cheek. Oh, gosh.

Here's what I was getting at with the, if I get saliva on me, I then go take a shower. That's pretty much how it works. Right. Interesting. Like if a kid were to lick me, I'd go wash my hand. If a dog's going to lick me lick me I'm gonna go wash my hands now you're stuck you're the licker

and you're stuck with your saliva now real quick rabbit hole do either of you just do kisses with dogs just let them I'm with you Mike I'll let them kiss my whole face

I will lay on the ground and my dog will come and lick my entire face. Yeah, it's really true. And I don't... Like, look. The whole, like, oh, dog's tongues are cleaner than everything. There's no truth. Cleaner than a whistle. That's not true.

Whistles are dirty. But I don't care. I want those kisses. Yeah. But I totally get how that would gross people out. Yeah, I get it too because an animal's just licking my face it's super gross and the reason you don't is because it's like you know it's like if your kid jason blows a you know a booger onto me or like you

know i have to wipe a runny nose for your kid that's somehow grosser snot than if i did it for my kids so you have your dogs like, would you let any dog lick your entire face? If I like that dog, yeah. Yeah, I'm the same way. If I like it. It doesn't have to be my dog. The fact that you have this as a badge of honor, I can tell the way you're talking about it.

You're like, really? I love Jason's dogs. I'm really proud. I would lay on the ground and let Jason's dog lick my face. Likewise, Mike. Likewise. You have great dogs. So you'd lick yourself clean then?

Well, but kind of't like here's the problem is it's the saltiness like have you ever licked your arm many times like if you're lying to me oh no I have never I'm far above that of course you've licked your arm at some point in your life a little ketchup

spilled on your arm you have a scab it came off and you're bleeding oh yeah you gotta suck that thing dry like Dracula. Get into the arm. If the blood goes back in your mouth, you don't lose any because it just goes right back into your body. You're recycling. Exactly.

Really not how it works, children. However, this rabbit hole or whatever you're calling it i mean to me i got shot quick suck the blood put it in a glass i need to drink it it's the only way i can stay alive what a world give him another what a world if that was how the human body worked and that's like literally what happens at these you know people come oh yeah people come in the ambulance and they just start scooping up and feeding you your blood. Doesn't work. Sir, I need you to put this funnel in your mouth. Open up.

It tastes like metal. I believe that the sniffing would become a real normal situation. I just don't know how you get that going. If it was normalized, if that was the common greeting, you walk in and you sniff their butt and you move on with your day, then it's fine. Would we start wearing a lot of cologne and perfume on our derrieres? Things might be cleaner. Things would definitely be cleaner.

People would be getting that bidet life. If I knew for sure that random strangers are going to come sniff near my rear end. I'm going for a raise today, fellas. That's an extra wipe every time. I've just got to do the extra. Just look, this was clean, but one more. Here's a hot tip. Do an extra for all of us anyways.

For you and everybody else. But you're not smelling my boots. You're not going just extra. You're also, you're wadding it up and you're crab walking over to the sink. I'm saying from everybody that's been around you and just from your friends, just do it. Just do it for us. Just anyways. I'll think about it.

Now, I do agree. He's saying that your butt stinks. Yeah. No, I'm getting that loud and clear. Now, I don't know how he knows. I think he's already adopted this new. Have you been? He doesn't need to adopt it.

That's what we're saying. It's that bad your butt stinks wow that would be now if that's true if anyone ever has that stinky of a butt that you're just in a room and you can smell their their booty they need a cat to come along and clean them up oh no see i would not no no that's out that's out. They can only lick my face. Inappropriate. This show. We need to settle this right now. Borland, where are you going with this? Oh, Borland.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with the butt sniffing. All right. I'm going to sniff your butt as well. I'm a butt sniffer. See, here's the problem. If you go with the cat clean, the animal clean, there's parts of your body that will never, ever, ever be cleaned. Because we're not cats.

We'll leave it at that. Pamela from Twitter, would you rather have to eat a salad or drink a smoothie for every meal of the week? It just stops there. Would you rather eat a salad? Alright, so eating a salad. To be clear, is Pamela just wanting to know whether we'd rather have to always eat salads for every meal or always have a smoothie for every meal?

Yes. Yeah, for a week. But three meals a day for a week, you're having either smoothies or salads. Interesting. The week does change it. Because if it was forever, I couldn't do the smoothies. I feel like if you never have solid food, you're never going to have solid. Smooth in, smooth out.

Smooth in, smooth out. Exactly right. But a week, a week is like a weight loss program. You know what I mean? It's a cleanse. You're doing a juice. A juice fast. And I see more benefit there than the salad.

Because if I ate salad for every single meal, you want to know what my salad is turning into? They got the deviled eggs and the chicken and the steak and extra ranch and Caesar dress. These are not actually healthy. They're still salads, but they're not healthy for me. Has anyone ever made a breakfast salad? That's a good question, Mike. Because you make breakfast sandwich. Here's a breakfast pizza. What's your base? Is it still lettuce? It still has to be

lettuce. But then they're going to put hot eggs. Anybody ever have lettuce for breakfast? I don't know. In anything? Is lettuce a lunch and dinner food alone? It has to be. What? Breakfast? Why? Why are you like this? Because it can be for breakfast. Because if you're doing a breakfast smoothie, you better be putting in some kale or something in there.

Well, there are. Yeah, but we're just talking lettuce, right? Because spinach, you put spinach in your omelet or whatever. Yeah. Okay. There we go. There we go. But lettuce.

Regular iceberg lettuce. Is that a part of any breakfast? Has anyone ever eaten that in the breakfast hour under any circumstance? Borland? Not me. It's strange that we're like this. This is not. These are just times of the day.

Why should a time of the day matter when you like a food? It's a complete fabrication. We made it up. The whole breakfast thing is completely made up. Thank you. And Hallmark did this somehow. And that's why when I'm eating cheeseburgers for breakfast and people are like, what a weirdo.

That's disgusting. I'm like, what? What? What's wrong with this? I'm eating because it sounds good. When's the last time you've had orange juice for lunch or dinner? Oh, that's an 11 a.m. cutoff. Right.

That's right. It's totally a cutoff. But it doesn't make any sense. It doesn't make any sense. Why not have an orange juice with my dinner? Yeah, there's no reason. Oh, what are you doing? You don't have eggs and bacon with that.

What's at 9 a.m.? These are just made up. That's what I want to focus here. Social construct. Why? Is it habit, though? Because you get used to certain foods at a certain time that makes them taste good. Does orange juice taste bad at four in the afternoon?

No, it tastes the same. You know how every now and then you do breakfast for dinner. And it's so wacky. And it's a treat. It's like, oh, we're going to get crazy today. I'm eating breakfast for dinner. Waffles. But what's crazy is like, okay, if I wake up and it's a Saturday morning and we make

the kids, whatever, maybe we have a nice breakfast. We make pancakes and eggs and bacon and the whole lot, right? We don't care. It doesn't matter. Okay. Fast forward 10 more hours or I don't want to do the math. Whatever dinner time would be. And then we make eggs and pancakes and bacon.

And this is a treat. This is an event. This is gather around the table, children. Break out the syrup. This is your social experiment. Get the china. Your social experiment is to tell the kids next Saturday that you're making them a big special breakfast. And when they come out, it's like rotisserie chicken.

Yeah. It's a club sandwich. Yeah. It's just like a normal salad. Yeah. It's a club sandwich. Yeah. It's just like a normal. And a salad. And a salad. Maybe it's like a filet. You know what I mean?

Like a nice. Steak and eggs are a thing. Yeah. Steak and eggs are a thing. For some reason. Yeah. We don't know why. Because they added eggs.

That's why. But steak. Some guy was eating a steak. He started getting all these dirty looks. And he said, can I have some eggs? Can I get an egg? Oh, okay. Normal. Just makes sense. Well, so does that mean can I have some eggs? Can I get an egg? Oh, okay. Normal.

Just makes sense. Well, so does that mean a burger is fine if you put the egg on it? Does that make it breakfast? You got to make it a little breakfast-y. It gives you a, you know, keeps the village from staring at you. Yeah. Okay. So I'm going to go with smoothies.

Oh. I think that's where we- Oh, there was a question. There was a question somewhere in here I'll take the smoothies yeah I could do smoothies for a week salads are for losers or after 3pm Eric from Patreon

you're walking around barefoot at a pool party you step into something wet warm and slimy when you look down would you rather see gosh what all of these questions Eric wet, warm, and slimy. Wait. When you look down, would you rather see... Gosh, what? What are these questions? Eric!

Thank you for the support. Future reference. Let's keep our would you rathers down to one bowel-related question. When you look down, would you rather see human vomit or dog poop under your feet? So you're walking around barefoot at a pool party which

one would you rather see easy peasy yeah this is dog poop this is dog poop i am a sympathetic throw-upper if i see smell hear about it like this right here i'm about 50 of the way there already it's the only thing that matters is human versus dog that's the only thing that matters because if it was vomit versus vomit, poop versus poop. So if this is dog vomit, it's not... It's always better to be a dog. It's always better to have the animal. Even if they lick your face, you'd rather have a dog versus a human lick your face.

Yeah, for sure. I don't want a human to lick my face. No. Gross. That's weird. That's super weird. That would be disgusting. Now, the dog who's been probably eating his own poop and vomit, he can come over and lick

your face. Go to town. Go to town. Go to town. I'm extra sweaty. Come wash me, dog. We've all stepped in dog poop on accident. Not barefoot. I haven't had the barefoot experience.

I've never barefoot. I've stepped in it, too. Jason is looking. You barefooted a poop? Yes, I barefoot I've stepped in Jason is looking you barefooted a poo yes a barefooted dog poop he was about to say you have it and then once he heard Mike he shut up you read me I was about to turn to Mike for you know misery loves company and then he said no and I shut up quick because I was like oh yeah totally you barefooted a poo yes you're in a yard or something

and then you know there's a still some non-picked up turds, and you're running around playing football or something, and you didn't notice one is here. This was within the last 10 days. There is no question. No, it's been a long time, but it's got to be within the last two years. Please tell me you slipped on it like a banana peel. And then fell right on it. Fell right into it.

No, it's just like the side of a foot. How do you clean that? How did you clean it you make the dog oh come on no uh you know i you're not the guy you're at the pool party you jump in the pool to wash it off yeah for sure for sure oh my problem with if the dog poop it's where it's supposed to be right right i'm in the dog's bathroom right now if this is if someone puked like how did how does one just puke at a pool party well i can imagine a few ways no no i know how you i know what can happen but i'm saying how does one vomit uh

discreetly so that no one else at the party has noticed. And then two, just go about their day like nothing has happened. You're responsible for your vomit. What uncivilized monster has done this? A very sick one, Mike, obviously. And it says the person went to the hospital. The question specifically says it's warm. This is not from last night. Oh, no, it is warm.

This is right out the body. One or the other. Bob just jumps out. gotcha gotcha that's my vomit bob is such a jerk that's the that's the new hit tv show puked you and what they do is they throw up and they get people to... No, no, no, we get what they do. Okay. It's just getting explained. You put the pieces together. And then they pop out. Pew! Yeah. Okay, thank you for explaining.

It's totally different than what I thought it was going to be. Wait. Okay. We all voted the same on all of these, which is dog poop. But I'm just noticing now that... So here's the peak behind... Eat a smoothie, dog poop. No, no, no, no.

And... And here's the peak behind the curtain. So we all know what we're about to talk about. We make these show docs where Al Borland puts it together so we can all go in. Here's what's happening in the show. Here's the new question. And the topic of this segment is would you rather. And someone has gone in here and changed it to Would Poo Rather. Yeah, that was me.

I thought we needed to rename it. Would Poo Rather. It was you? I changed it because I... Puked ya! Goodness. Alright. And then just so many high fives were happening. With everybody else around the victim of the

puked ya. Is this real life? That's a question I ask myself quite often during this show. All right. Is this real life? Here's what we've got going on. Why don't you explain it, Al? You're not busy.

Not busy at all. No, these are articles that you guys found that the other people have not seen, and you're going to share them with us because you read the headline and you said, is this real life? We did. We did. And so these are some very outlandish headlines, and we're just going to react to them. Jason has picked one out for us.

Go ahead. All right. All right. Here's the headline of the article that I found. Distillers of gin infused with elephant dung insist. Oh, my gosh. Insist. What on earth?

Ow. Welcome to the poop ballers. Get a hold of yourself. Hey, this one's not on me. Jason found it. That's fair. That's fair. This one is, I didn't know we were coming into poopocalypse.

I had no idea. All right. into poopocalypse i had no idea all right uh distillers of gin infused with elephant dung insist product isn't crap that's the name of this here's the thing oh man so in real life in real life um this feels like a publicity stunt. It has to be a publicity stunt. Is this an advertised perk or they didn't tell people about it? Oh, the- That matters so much. No.

It does. Because otherwise, it's a poopja after you've experienced. When you get a water infused with minerals for taste. Yeah, pomegranate seeds. Infused with elephant dung for taste. They literally say where it came from. On each bottle, they hand select the dung from different parts. I believe this is in India.

Or no, South Africa. This is South Africa. And they put on the bottle where this came from. And the reason why these two scientists decided to do this was because elephants eat a lot of flowers and botanicals and things that apparently they don't digest well. That they could just put in outside of the dung process. Yes. But not maybe as mixed as well. Then they got to go to a whole bunch of different plants.

Yeah. The elephant does all the work. It's a giant mixed bowl. I hope he has equity of the company. That's literally what they said in this article. They said, as a consequence, elephant dung, you get the most amazing variety of these botanicals. Why don't we let the- Put the downside.

Put the downside. Put the downside. Why don't we let the elephants do the hard work of collecting these botanicals, and we'll make gin from it? That's what they... The hard work... Dude, they didn't go on to describe how they have to, like, wash it and dry it.

I'm like, the hard work is getting the poop. But apparently, a vibrant taste. So they take it and then they wash it? Yeah. And then they infuse it. So this is sanitary? They get it back to just being botanicals. Oh, my God.

You should have just grew some flowers, my friends. That's disturbing. Yeah. That they would tell people about it. I understand wanting to shortcut the process But you keep that secret Yeah it's They also say that they do collect

They do collect By hand Oh that's comforting Thank you Alright Mike you got yours Yeah I got mine Here is the headline Man pooped.

No. Please, give me a break. No, but so it's a man who was arrested. So a man sticks cannabis in nose, forgets about it for 18 years. That's not real life. There was an Australian man who suffered numerous sinus infections over an 18-year period before the doctors figured out what was happening. Apparently, he was going to the old who's gal, and his lady gave him some illegal contraband. 18 years before.

And he decided to hide it in his nose, and he thought it went too far and he swallowed it. Oh, so he didn't know. No. So there was just like a rubber balloon basically stuck in this dude's sinus for 18 years. That's a rough run. Now, when he was having numerous sinus infections during the preceding 18 years, that didn't cross his mind? No, because he thought he swallowed it.

Oh, gross. Also, it could could vote that's how old it was oh when it came out yeah yeah that's it was legal it went in when it was illegal came out when it was legal yeah very well could have could be the case oh that's that's not when the surgeons went in for a closer look they ended up removing what the report described as quote a rubber capsule containing degenerate vegetable plant matter. Oh, okay. Wow. Which was then infused into a gin. Let him do all the work.

I am confident. Age to perfection. I'm confident that if I ever stuck something in my nose, I would know about it within a year. Like, I would remember, oh, my gosh, what? My only comparison for this is when I was a younger lad, I made the shift to contacts. Yeah, I had the eyeglasses. And I'm like, okay, I'm going to go to contacts. I had the eyeglasses, and I'm like, okay, I'm going to go to contacts.

And I go to put one in my eye, or actually, I go to take it out. I'm sorry. And I pinch the crap out of my eye. If you've ever worn contacts, you've probably pinched your eye at some point, and it hurts. And I thought that the contact had fallen was like my vision was back to blurry and then just later on all of a sudden you could see i could see out of my eye and i legit legit because i'm in like fourth or fifth grade i legitimately thought my eye had healed and i could now see because i went weeks weeks until finally a heavy rub popped the contact out of my eye and i was like oh man oh it didn't

get healed oh what i was kind of laughing because i wore contacts for like 10 years i never pinched my eye oh you never when you were what what was how young were you when you started wearing it i was older okay yeah you you were when you were like grade. Oh, wow. Wow. Yeah. Richie Rich over there. Is that a thing? I don't know. Are they really? To me, I feel like it was. Contacts are super expensive.

Only the elites get contacts. All right, maybe that is it. Apparently, in my mind, maybe that's what my parents told me when I wore glasses. I mean, I've got glasses right now only because I'm so poor. Otherwise, I would be rocking some sweet tacks. I'm not the 1%. I didn't know any kids that were fourth or fifth grade that had contacts. None.

And I would cover my bad eye, and then I would read with my now healed good eye. Because I had perfect vision. Did you tell your parents it was healed? No. I don't think I ever brought it up but it was really it was really shameful for me when the contact popped oh my goodness also right pinching your eye hurts real bad i can't i can't imagine pinching it but maybe as a small kid your eyes smaller you could pinch it i don't know yeah like how would you succeed at that when you're trying to pull it out, just imagine putting your pinching motion, going to squeeze

the contact out. Ah, gross. Only you get your eyeball. Yeah, that's not expected. All right, Florida Man. Oh, no. Because anything from Florida is just... That's the majority of our audience, Mike.

Well, they should know that they're crazy people then. All right, Florida Man, who allegedly threatened family with Coldplay lyrics, ends standoff after SWAT promises him pizza. So I looked at this story. What? And he had texted... This was the text. He sent the lyrics from the song Fix You,

which you may be familiar with. He said, Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones, and I will try to fix you. That was the threatening text he was sending out to people. He was threatening people with this? Correct. He was threatening his family.

Was he threatening like, I'm going to make you listen to Coldplay? Well, he did throw in a few words like Nazi prison associates in the text that got people more concerned. That sounds more concerning. Yeah. And it was all yellow. Yes. And it was a four-hour confrontation. in a bedroom and would not come out under any circumstance that he wouldn't go back to prison

until the SWAT department agreed to deliver him a pizza. Wow. That's a lot of... Dude, this guy should just know. You can just call someone and they'll deliver pizza. He did end up being charged. But if you're going to back i mean he's he's already he's he's too deep he's in the hole there's no way out you might as well get some pizza and if

you ask for something you're like i need a chopper gassed up you're not getting no you're not but if you ask for a pizza they're gonna give you a you're gonna get a pizza they're gonna let you eat it all right and then you're getting arrested but isn't there something couldn't you ask for something and i apologize to uh our judge giamatti in the room isn't there something better than pizza that you could they draw the line though like you're saying if i ask for a steak dinner they're gonna no they would do that i feel like they would do that here's the thing you talk about the chopper and the the bucket full of cash and stuff has anybody ever been like yeah i'll come out of here for like 85 dollars 85 bucks i'm out i'll come out you can arrest me the thing is 85 cash delivered you know and a pizza you know that they're that they're gonna take the cash

from you you know you're not gonna get to keep that in prison not if you put it up your nose. The pizza is forever. Or is for a while. Is for a while. Yeah, and so they delivered him a pizza with some flavored crust and ended the standoff. Now, we're giving this guy credit. There might have been pineapple on the pizza. I'm done. I'm going to jail. I got to get something.

He used to rule the world. I'm going to set the bar low. I'm going to go pizza. Right to get something. He used to rule the world. Set the bar low. I'm going to go pizza. Right? What if it wasn't this? What if this was a genius negotiator on the other side who's like, okay. What do you like to eat? Let me try this on for size.

Come out, but not until we will deliver you fresh baked deep dish pizza. Like maybe this is the missing component from most negotiations and standoffs. Pizza? Why don't they just go right to the we'll give you pizza. I don't think the cost is so low you should start with pizza every time. You might as well just make it a part. Like, hi, my name's George. I'm the hostage negotiator.

Obviously, we've got your pizza on the way. Let's begin discussing. Because who doesn't have a better negotiation with pizza in their belly? I'm the negotiator, Papa John. I'd like to offer you some of my fresh-made pizza. Only the finest ingredients. All right. So that is this real life.

Very interesting and fortunately only one having to do with poop. The Spitballers Draft. Alright, we are drafting Al Borland's favorite poop jokes. And it's 30 rounds.

We are drafting the best christmas songs now i don't know what makes a christmas song the best necessarily right there's a lot of i feel like there are components and i'll do i don't have the first pick i have the last pick that's correct and mike gets to kick this off but could be Could be the music itself. Could be the actual music. Could be the nostalgia of childhood. Could be the how long-running a song was to be successful. Could be

any number of things. Could be all the times Mike was forced to go caroling and he doesn't pick any of those songs. Did you ever carol? Yes. I had no doubt in my mind Mike had caroled. Have you ever caroled? Never.

Portland? I've been invited every year my whole life, and I've said no every year. Many times. Wow. I didn't know people. I've never ever had someone show up to my house caroling. I didn't believe that it's a real thing. It's a real thing.

I've been forced to do it many times. Wow. Are you doing it this year? You're going to make your kids do it? It's on the calendar. They've already done it. It's on the calendar. It's on real thing. I've been forced to do it many times. Wow. Are you doing it this year? You're going to make your kids do it? It's on the calendar. They've already done it. It's on the calendar. It's on the calendar.

This is still ongoing. I thought this was when you were a kid. Does that make it less likely for you to pick the songs you carol sing or more likely? I need a negotiator to bring me a pizza while I'm caroling. That would actually be great. I'd go. Oh, holy. All right, Mike, you're up. You you're first so you can go anywhere yes you can

with uh you know the upbeat slow and i'm actually i'm gonna kick it off with the slow one i'm going with the sultry jason jason's making a voice like i'm gonna take his pick there's so many options okay just make your pick so i can celebrate. Alright, I'm going with the man. It's not Sinatra, but very, very similar. I'm taking Bing Crosby. I will be taking White Christmas, which gives you

all the feels. Just imagining being Well, we're in Arizona. We're dreaming of a White Christmas still. But even still, it still gets cold here and you can gather around a fire. There's not snow, but white Christmas, that's my number one Christmassy song. I love that you took that, because I have a clear number one, and I have brought this up. Did you know, before you go into yours, just so you're aware, white Christmas is not just the best-selling Christmas holiday single in the United States.

It's the best-selling single of any kind of song of all time. That makes sense. No song has ever been... What year was White Christmas? Well, I'm seeing 1942. Oh, there you go. Okay. So, I mean, you're literally talking about 60 years.

How many songs have a 60-year run of... Every single year comes back to the top. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's great but the reason i i just assumed you were going to pick it because i have recently i don't know if it's on this show or the footballers or or we do so many shows we do so many shows however i know we've brought this up recently about i was like what's the song with all the parts i was like that's the best song like, well, yeah, that's because it's the best Christmas song. You said that.

Are you going to steal my song? Is it Carol of the Bells? Yeah. You're darn right, because it's the best Christmas song. Yeah. It is the best instrumental. When it gets crescendo,

not just in all, I was going to say, when you sing in all the different parts. What are the words to that song, Jason? Carol of the Bells. Carol of the Bells. Carol of the Bells. Carol of the Bells.

Carol of the Bells. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. Dang, that was my number one, and I thought it would get to me. That is the absolute best Christmas song, because it's intense. It's got different moments. It starts a little slower, especially if you've got a good rendition of it. I just said it would have been my number one song, but now that it's not mine, I want to find an argument against it.

Disperse it. And that would simply be that it doesn't seem like it's for every Christmas occasion, right? Incorrect. It's a little intense. It is very intense. It's a little intense. incorrect. It's a little intense. It is very intense. It's a little intense.

And I just think of robbers are coming to my house and I need to set up booby traps. You're not caroling with that song. No, you're not. You can, but... If you carol with that song, you'd be pretty boss. You are a great caroling company.

It's just like Pentatonix is with you. Exactly. Alright, well, nowatonix is with you. Exactly. Yeah. All right. Well, now I don't know where to go. I'm at my first pick, and I already feel... Those are my top two. So I will go with...

Man. All right. I've got my next pick, so please don't pick it. I'm just... So I'm going to go... I have two picks in a row. Yes, you do. And I'm just going i'm gonna go i have two picks in a row yes you do and uh i'm

just gonna go with my favorite my favorite christmas song has always been little drummer boy i love it which version do you want the david bowie one because that song is ridiculous i do not understand how people are into that well it's hard for me to say which version because i feel like there are literally like 200 to 500 versions dav The David Bowie one is very specific because they just added this whole new part. Then not that one. Peace on Earth. So I'll go Little Drummer Boy. Little Drummer Boy is very good.

All right. And then I'm going to actually go intense like yours, which is what? Run, Run Rudolph by Chuck Berry. Okay. That's a great one. Good up to. That's our first up to. Run, Run Rudolph. Santa Berry. Okay. That's a great one. Good up to. That's our first. Run, Run Rudolph.

Santa's got to make it to town. All right. Yeah. It's like Jingle Bell Rock. Yeah. So I'm going to go. I'll go Little Drummer Boy. But it's not that song.

Right. It's like it, but a different song. It's like a Christmas song. It's got a little bit of rock to it. Okay. I got you. So I'll go Little Drummer Boy. And I guess it's technically called Run Rudolph Run by Chuck Bear.

All right. I think this is the name of the song. It should be. It's not. But look, every year. Tub Thumpin'. Tub Thumpin'. By Chumbawamba.

It's a Christmas song, right? Every year. I mean, the Christmas season is just fantastic But when it starts On November 1st Before then Oh November 1st August 8th

I'll allow it But when it starts to look like Christmas It's beginning to look That was my next pick Like Christmas That one always gets in my head Christmas. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. That was my next pick. That's excellent. That one always gets in my head. It always puts me in the mood.

Also Bing Crosby. There you go. Because he's the man. Bing Crosby is the dude. Banger after banger for that guy. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes, that's how he would refer to his songs. It's a banger. Listen.

Listen to this. It's beginning. I've got a banger for you. It's beginning to look a lot like. Now, that's a bit. We need people from the 40s talking about their songs like people do today. Unbelievable, fam. This song is lit.

All right. That's a good combo pick with your trans-siberian orchestra carol of the bells situation yeah it's i very nice turn very nicely done pick that was that was the pick that i wanted to go with uh so beginning to look like like christmas i wanted it so i, I guess, to my next choice. Because that's what you have to do. Yeah, you don't really have a choice. So I will take it. I will take the most wonderful time of year.

It's the most time of the year. That is the same song to me. It is the exact same song. I didn't even know that when I was thinking about the song it was between that one single song in my mind

which I just saw as So he took your song after all He took the inferior version of my song So Mike took White Christmas and then what was the one you just did? The Most Wonderful Time of the Year is what I just drafted

Alright and now we gotta get contemporary because the Christmas season it begins with White Christmas but it really kicks off once Mariah Carey shows up on the radio and all I want for Christmas is you

and that piano comes and goes do you know how much money she's made from that song? Because that song slays, man. All I ever think about is Love Actually. When the little boy's drumming to that song at the end and the girl's singing at the talent show

and she looks back and points right at him and says, All I want for Christmas is you. Oh man, that gets me. Very good. Alright, man, that gets me. Very good. All right, that's a great pick. That is a great pick.

I was hoping to get that song. I didn't think Andy would draft it. So I already knew what my next pick was going to be, but I was wanting to get that for my last pick. It would have completed a perfect Christmas album. I apologize for ruining your Christmas. Thank you. No, I'm going gonna go back i was happy to hear you say you're going contemporary because i wanted another i already had two

classes sure i wanted another classic this one has the feels it's obviously a much slower but look silent night oh is where i'm going with This is the candle lighting song. Yes. When you go out at your Christmas Eve service and you're lighting candles and you're all singing Silent Night. There's nothing wrong with that pick. It is wonderful. Yeah. It puts you in the right mood for the season.

Okay. Look, I got to be honest with you guys. You guys have way better songs than me. I love your... I mean, Little Drummer Boy, Run Run Rudolph. I got no hope. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Perhaps Frosty the Snowman. I hear he had a very shiny nose.

Frosty was on my list. No, here's where I'm going. I need to turn to a different strategy. Which means I'm going, Grandma got run over by a reindeer. I'm going the comedy route. I know your next pick. Then you better.

You better land on the right next pick if you're going the comedy route. But so grandma got run over by a reindeer hoop, which is by the way. Also Bing Crosby. Nope. Much better. Elmo and Patsy. yeah everyone's favorite all right oh i have to draft another one yes that's what i was saying i i know where you got to go if you're going if you're going grandma got ran over by a reindeer oh then i gotta go i caught yes that's

grandma kiss and santa claus Grandma? There's a problem in your house. Oh, no. Oh, that's not good. You caught Grandma kissing Santa Claus? After she got run over. Oh, man. That's, wow. Well, those blended together.

Sure did. A little bit of, give me your kiss, Santa. Santa, Santa. Santa baby. You come down to give me some gas. Why does grandma sound so not endearing? Because she's grandma. Because she got ran over by a reindeer. Why did she go, why is she going, Santa baby.

Because she's done three packs a day. She's smoked a lot. I mean, she's trying to get smooches with Santa. I mean, in her old age, you know she's... One one here. Does that mean I accidentally took I Saw Grandma Kissing Santa Claus? I don't think you could take a made-up song. I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.

Yeah, but that is the right... Only because you told me I needed to tandem them, so... Yeah. All right, that is the right. Only because you told me I needed to tandem them, so. Yeah. All right, well, I lost. But now because of that fun departure, I have no idea what I'm picking. Oh, spectacular. Excellent. Mike, what would you pick if you were on the clock?

Feliz Navidad. Tim, that's a great song. That was sort of a joke, but sort of not a joke. So here on the clock. Feliz Navidad. Tim, that's a great song. That was sort of a joke, but sort of not a joke. So here's the thing. I love that song. That song sometimes I love and sometimes I hate. That's a mood song. You have to be in the right mood for Feliz

Navidad. I know, Mike, you're probably going to take the 12 Days of Christmas. It's your absolute favorite. It's the goat. I mean, it, you're probably going to take the 12 days of Christmas. It's your absolute favorite. It's the goat. I mean, it takes so long to get through. I would rather die. So redundant. You don't ever carol that one, do you?

No, I refuse. No, because you'd be there for two hours. All those poor people who want to indulge you. The door just slowly closes. On the fourth day. Okay, we get the rest. Do you hear about grandma? Blinders just

slowly close. We've got so many choices. I know. All the choices in the world. There's one right choice right now. I don't want to put any pressure on you. There's a lot of pressure.

Do you want to go old? Do you want to go new? Oh, man. Wow. I have one that popped in my head that I got to bring up at the end. That you should have taken? Well, yeah. Yeah.

Jason has no idea what he's doing. Wow. This is important to me. Do you know there's a lot of christmas i love i love like 20 of them out there and oh geez louise so what do i have right now someone remind me stall tactics all tech you have carol of the bells it's beginning to look a lot like christmas and silent night man that's a good see this is the thing if i had crap then i would just be I would just pick something... Don't stick to landing.

...all willy-nilly. Oh, there's a couple here. Oh. Oh, there's a couple I really like. All right, while you think about that, I just want to let you know, Grandma finds trouble on the streets while walking home. Allegedly, she gets run over by one or more of Santa's reindeers. Yeah.

And then it says the injuries it is assumed causes her death. How would one get run over by a single reindeer? He got loose. He got off the... Wait, just the front. The front guy ran her over. Whoa, so it was Rudolph. I thought he had a shiny nose that could guide the sleigh.

Not against grandma. Where? Grandma way. Where's Santa? Where Santa? Come on, Jay. This is the worst. This is the worst. I'm going to take the old goody.

Oh, Mike is. The old goody. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by the Jackson 5. Because that one is actually a banger. Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Oh, no. That's a great song. It's a banger. Santa Claus is coming to town. Oh, no. That's a great song. It's a good song.

But I wanted to cap it off with just some more classic. I will take... So, Jason, you took Beginning to Look Like Christmas. That's correct? I believe so. He did. So, I will take Have Yourself, A Merry Little Christmas. Sure, that's good.

That was in the list. Silver Bells was in the list. That pairs with merry little Christmas. Sure, that's good. That was in the list. Silver bells was in the list. That pairs with my white Christmas. Here's the thing that shocked me is that Mike is traditionally the least predictable, often off the rail drafter here on the show. His draft looks like what I would have expected your draft to look like. Exactly. And what he did here was he just drafted like a very, like, i don't want to use the word vanilla because it's not vanilla a traditional traditional

winning squad like really good songs you didn't throw in any weird ones the one i thought that i had one that i wanted to throw in but people don't people don't know the name of the song so it doesn't have the name recognition. Let's hear it. It's Christmas Rapping by The Waitresses. I don't know it, so sing it. That's the kind of pick I expected you to make at least one of. No, I chose not to.

Singing it is really tough because there's not really a melody. Okay, rap it. It is Christmas Rapping. Just listen to it. The bass line of that song is phenomenal i thought we might get something from like uh like grinch like yeah i thought about that i you know i mean one oh mr grinch we did we did just get a note in slack from our other producer brooks judge Judge DeMati, in all caps that said Christmas wrapping is great. Oh, alright. All caps, you say? Yes, all caps. That's very loud.

Other short list ones, Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree, we brought that up, right? Yeah, it's on my list. Silver Bells was in consideration for me. Yeah, Let It Snow is on my list. God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. O Holy Night, Emmanuel. Yeah, O Holy Night was going's on. If I was going to go- O Holy Night, Emmanuel.

Yeah, O Holy Night was going to be, if I'm going to go with the classic church, the midnight church service song. O Holy Night's great. All right. That's pretty good. We did it. What did we learn today? That you cannot keep Al Borland away from a poop-related dilemma.

It's beginning to look a little... I learned that I will never be able to afford contacts. Oh, man, that was special. But one day, with enough savings... You can save up your money. I can get there.
