Episode Date: April 2, 2026

Join Olivia Henson and Siobhan Weed as they rank their top 5s of random categories. This week, the girls are ranking their top 5 national holidays so that they can get their holiday party on early and start prepping for the biggest upcoming celebrations of the year. They also talk about everyone being Irish, the patriotism of a good hotdog, and their childhood experiences with Santa.

Welcome to Objectively Correct. Probably. Where are your host, Olivia Henson. And Chauvonne Weed, and this is our silly show where we take five our top five of a random category. So join us as we share our hot takes on things that don't really matter because it's fun to have opinions. Let's list. Okay, welcome back, guys.

Today, we are going to be ranking our top five holidays. So let's just break down the top five ways that we like to celebrate things or things that we like to celebrate. Yeah, I mean, it's like there's national holidays. You know, we just did non-holiday holidays. Not that long ago, like literally last week. And we thought, what about the real holiday? Yeah, just keep the street going. Starting off at number five is St. Patrick's Day.

And this is just a beautiful day because all of a sudden, everyone in America had their great grandma come over to Ellis Island, like, spleen the potato famine. Everyone's Irish. Every single person is Irish. And you know what? It's kind of also helpful because green looks good on everybody and you're required to wear it. So whether you are pale like me and you can't pull off lime green, you can, you have

forest green, olive green, emerald green. Oh my gosh. So many options. There's a grain for every single person. To pull off an outfit on St. Patrick's Day. Leoprcons are iconic. Eat some cabbage. Eat some cabbage.

Why not? Twist my arm. A little corn beef along with it. Come on now. It's corn beef. Spam? Get out of here. What am I on? Do you did not have a grandma who came over in Alice Island for the video of a

My family is very German. As an Irish person named Chavon, you're actually kicked off this podcast. My spam got me kicked off. Okay, next up, we have New Year's. And New Year's is just glorious. Like, we like to think about the fact that the New Year's Eve ball drop is just hysterical to reflect on. It's so funny.

Because here's the thing, like, I think it's one of those things that we as humans do that if, like, aliens were to invade right now and they were to like come down, it's New Year's Eve. They see a, like a sea of people screaming, all of a sudden it goes silent. A ball, like an orb descends from the sky. And then everyone goes absolutely ham. People are kissing each other, like people are screaming. That's hysterical. I love that we do that as humans.

I think it's awesome. Yeah, I mean, if you think aliens would be confused, just like think about like the ancient Mayans. They would probably see the ball drop and then drop a child. They would be sacrificing thanks to this orb that's descending. Yeah. And also I really love. New God just dropped, literally. Literally.

I just started a new tradition with one of my friends from home where we do, this was like a TikTok trend. And people were eating grapes under the table. Oh, yeah. And we were like, oh my gosh, we're going to bring ourselves good luck. We've had nothing but good luck this year. And we did eat our 12 grapes under the table. Although, yes, in a minute. And I'd like to warn people, it is a choking hazard.

I was going to say, yeah. Every new year I say a special prayer for all the girls who are under a table choking down 12 grapes in 60 seconds. Next up, we have Thanksgiving. And guys, I mean, do we need to say anything other than the fact that just the food is great? Yeah, I mean, it's a holiday where we indulge ourselves in food to celebrate, like, the starving bill. Yeah, like, holy cow, we can not relays less to those poor starving people who were in America's founding colony. I mean, it's also like, it's just like this weird time where like, I feel like a lot of rules are off the table. Like all of a sudden, like, I remember making like Native American Indian headdresses.

Yeah, cultural appropriation out the window. You can do whatever you want. Also, a pilgrim, like, drip is awesome. Like, I wish there was more excuses throughout the year to, like, don a pair of buckle shoes, get a wide brim hat and some like billowy shirts and pants. That's iconic. It looks awesome. Next is 4th of July. It deserves number two because the thing about 4th of July is that the 4th of July food is number two food ever.

probably, maybe even number one, because the experience of eating food at Fourth of July, what are you eating? Hot dogs, maybe a grilled hamburger, have a couple of chilled alcoholic beverages on the side as you're like floating in a tube, yeah, going in and out of the water. Like, you're either at a pool, you're at a pool, you're at a lake and food never hits harder than when you got a fresh under. Because you're eating, on Fourth of July, you are eating food under the best conditions to eat food. You're never more famished. And then it's suddenly dark and then fireworks. It's just a non-beautable day. It's beautiful. Every dog in the nation is crying. Yeah, and it just brings people together. No, like, you just can't help

feel like your blood runs red, white, and blue. But yeah, last up, we have at number one. Guys, it has to be Christmas. It's so nostalgic and whimsical. Elves are objectively funny, and, um, hey, guys, if you're a parent and you have your kids with you, cover their ears, la, la, la, la, or something. Lead them out of the room because, guys, Santa Claus doesn't exist. But it's so funny that we thought that he did. It's so good. I mean, I didn't. I didn't. I never believed in Santa. My parents didn't do that. And didn't have joy and whimsy growing up by us. No, but I did have trust in my parents. So that was cool, I guess. That's an interesting tradeoff.

I think I won. Anyway, also, the movies that exist from Christmas, it's a Wonderful Life, top one. Die Hard, top two. So what a cultural moment. So let's do a recap really quick. At number five, we have St. Patrick's Day. Number four, New Year's.

Number three is Thanksgiving. Number two is Fourth of July. And number one is Christmas, obviously. And you know, guys, we're not saying we're totally right, but we are objectively correct. Probably. On Radio Free Hillsdale, 101.7 FM. See you later.
