Ooh. Yes, I love you. Such a good boy. Yeah.

Oh. You ready? I'm ready. Are you ready? You ready? Yeah. I'm ready. Okay, so we're doing it again. We're doing it again. Sarah's taking over Brandy. Honestly, the reason why is more of a scheduling conflict for me than it is for her.

Because on Sunday, I'm taking the red eye to Orlando. To the land of Orlando. Q, Book of Mormon. Do you remember that song? Oh, yeah. Orlando, Orlando, I love you, Orlando. That's not my favorite song from that musical, though. Yeah, but it is a song called Orlando.

What's the best one on that? Do You Like Hasadega Ibowai? Should we play that? And it's my favorite because that musical is irreverent, and that is the most irreverent song in a very irreverent musical. It is a very controversial musical. I remember when I saw it for the first time, senior citizen couples were leaving the theater during that song. Really? They couldn't handle it?

Couldn't take it. Couldn't take the heat? Well, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen, Grandma. That's right. Put our hands to the sky and say, Hasadiga Ibowai. Hasadiga Ibowai? It's the only way to get through all these troubled times. There's war, poverty, famine.

But having a saying makes it all seem better. There isn't enough food to eat. Hasadiga Ibo Wai. People are starving in the street. Hasadiga Ibo Wai. Hasadiga Ibo Wai. Hasadiga Ibo Wai. Well, that's pretty neat.

Does it mean no worries for the rest of our days? Kind of. We've had no rain in several days. Casa D got evil wine. And 80% of us have AIDS. Casa D got evil wine. Many young girls here get circumcised. The clits get caught right off.

And with that, I'm going to stop that song and rethink. I don't know how I'm going to maybe cut that part before we get to the female circumcision portion of it. Is that Josh Gad? It's like the original. Yeah. Josh Gad, Andrew Reynolds, Michael Potts, who sings the song Hasadiga Iboe. He and I did a little musical on Broadway called Grey Gardens. Oh, really? Yeah.

He originated that role in Book of Mormon. And he is a lovely man. That man went to Columbia and Yale. Man. What? Very, very smart man. Very talented, too. He was in the... Mal Reine's Black Bottom. That was a good movie. It was very smart man. Very talented, too. He was in the, um,

Mal Reine's Black Bottom. That was a good movie. It was a great film. Didn't love how it ended. Well. Anyways, Book of Mormon, one of my favorite things, after hearing it again,

I can realize, I understand why some, like, some gray hairs had to get out of there. Yeah. You know? But hey, man, if you can't handle the truth.

Can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Get the kitchen out of the kitchen anyways so i'm going to orlando to do press for this lpga golf event that i'm doing next year in january i'm going to be gone and then when we fly back and then i fly back on tuesday and then on Tuesday, we take a COVID test. And then we go to the People's Choice Awards. Yeah. And then we're probably going to be there all night. And then it'll be Wednesday. And so there is no time really for me to record this with Brandy. So Sarah is filling in again.

But this is not on Brandy. She's horse showing. So she couldn't do it like this weekend. So it's just easier to do it this way. Yeah. Easy. And we love having you on. Thank i love being on it's fun people love when you come on the show so well that's nice to hear yeah so last night we did our house decoration our yes our tree decorations trees trees yeah I decorated the house last week. Yeah, you did.

Yeah. And then people came over and did the exterior. Exterior, yeah. But I decorate the inside all by myself. Yes, and you did a great job. Thank you. But then last night we did the trees. And I'm saying this plural because we are a household of multiple trees.

I love Christmas. You do love Christmas. You were in a very good mood last night. I was very happy. Yeah, I feel like today your serotonin levels are a little depleted because you shit out a lot of them last night. Yeah, I did. I'm a Christmas guy. I love Christmas a lot.

Is it your favorite holiday? I think Christmas is my favorite Is it your favorite holiday? I think Christmas is my favorite holiday. Yeah? Yeah. Here's the thing. We were talking about this a couple weeks ago because I love Thanksgiving and I hate when people skip straight from Halloween

more specifically Target you know big box stores and stuff like that when they go straight from Halloween to Christmas. Because I'm like, y'all, Thanksgiving is a holiday. And Thanksgiving is not my favorite holiday purely from the historical basis of it, but I am a Thanksgiving baby.

So, you know, maybe there's some like part of me like in the back of my head where it's like, well, if you don't care about Thanksgiving, you don't care about me because it's my birthday. Is Thanksgiving more of your favorite holiday or Christmas? No, Christmas is more of a favorite holiday of mine. I don't like it when people skip Thanksgiving, but I love Christmas more than Thanksgiving because it's the same food, essentially. It is. But with presents and better films and better music and better decorations. It's just all around better.

Yeah, I agree. But I'm not a Christmas tree up for Thanksgiving chick. Fair enough. Yeah. up for Thanksgiving chick. Fair enough. Yeah. So we have three Christmas trees, and I didn't come from a multiple tree household.

I didn't either. So give us the background, the genesis, if you will, of why we have three Christmas trees. Okay. Well, the food tree, the one Christmas tree that is in our dining room decorated with a bunch of food ornaments. That was my first Christmas tree. I have artificial trees because I feel like it's better. It's easier. You just like use it, recycle. Also, no judgment on if you get a real tree.

I don't know if I'm like, shame on you for killing this living being thing. But there is something so depressing the week after Christmas, driving around and seeing all these just dead, rotting trees on the side of the road. You're like, dude. Makes me sad. Step four. Makes me really sad. I agree. But I will say this. A real tree in your house

makes your house smell great. That's why you get candles. Yeah, fair enough. Anyways. Okay. So back to the thing, but the food tree wasn't, you didn't have a food tree when I first met you. No, this is the origin story of the three trees. So that food tree was my first Christmas tree that I bought like artificial Christmas tree. And then I moved into my old house that you and I lived in before buying this house. Yeah. This tree just looks, the ceilings were taller than my previous home.

And I was like, it looks really small. I want a big tree. I bought a really big tree, the one that's in our formal, that's in our like family living room. And then i was like you know what this front living room here like this little like you know the living room that nobody uses the fancy one i was like this deserves like a cute little tree and i just was like you know what i i'm gonna keep this old artificial tree the first one and before i just like put it up and there was really nowhere to to put it. And so I put

it up in the hallway on the second floor just to have because I didn't want to waste. And now we have three Christmas trees. Yeah, it's a little overkill, but we had fun last night. Yeah. The food tree actually comes from Nashville. It does. That was our first Christmas together. Yeah. You came out to Nashville for Christmas. We got a real tree. We did get a real tree and we went to like Michael's or something. Yeah. For whatever reason, we got a bunch of ornaments that were food like hamburgers, french fries. Yeah. It started with we saw a taco ornament.

Yeah. And we were like, oh, we have to get this. We love tacos. It's our thing. And then we saw all of the other food ornaments and just kind of yeah decided that was it and then we instagrammed it from what i remember and the company figured out that it was like their ornaments then they sent us a bunch more yeah right yeah that's that's why we have so many ornaments so many food ornaments so anyways then we did the garland

on the banister yeah which was nice and fun and you did a great job with So anyways, then we did the garland on the banister. Yeah. Which was nice and fun, and you did a great job with that. Thank you. Thank you for helping me. We did it all pretty quickly. I was impressed with our speed. Yeah. And our agility.

And then we sat down, we watched Elf, and then we watched Christmas Story. Yeah. So we were thinking that this would be the Your Favorite Thing Christmas episode. Yeah. Like pre-Christmas, you know, like to get you in the holiday spirit. Yeah, exactly. All right, you want to start? Let's start. All right, is it me or you?

You. Okay. Bros and hoes, you're listening to Your Favorite Thing podcast with... Wells and Sarah. Christmas edition. Pew, pew, pew, pew. Pew, pew, pew, pew. Before we start, we have some news that we must talk about.

We must open the show with said news. Said news. The news is this, folks. Sarah and I have now decided that contractually we will only be doing television shows that include dough. Yes, the dough that we are talking about is money. But also the dough is either bread dough or play dough. Tell everyone about Squished. Squished.

Squished is coming out in two days, actually. So this is coming out Wednesday, so that means Friday. Yep, two days, Friday, December 10th. It is a holiday special where it's a family competition show. It's really stinking cute. It was so much fun to film. And it is on IMDb TV, which is its own app on like Roku and Fire. Stick.

Stick thing. And probably Apple TV. You know, things like that. It's its own app, but you can also access the IMDb TV app through Amazon Prime. But it's completely free. Yep. Anybody can watch it. You don't have to have a subscription service to it.

Oh, really? To get the IMDb app? Yeah. Yeah. So if you're like, well, I don't have Amazon Prime. Yeah. You can still watch it. But I feel like everyone's got Prime.

I feel like everyone has Prime now. If you've got Prime, just go through Prime. Yeah. Just go through Prime. It's the IMDb TV section of Prime. And it's really fun. We have three. They're not necessarily families.

We have these two really cute little boys. And they're Manny and Friend. And then. Manny? Like a male nanny. Ah. Like Andy from Modern Family. Like Adam. Got it. A Manny. Like a male nanny. Ah. Like Andy from Modern Family. Like Adam Devine. A Manny.

And then... It's funny because there was an actual Manny on Modern Family, but I digress. Yeah, I feel like we made... I feel like the writers had some jokes there. Oh, yeah. I think I had that. I think I said we only have one... I only know of one Manny kind of thing. I don't know. Hayley being silly and dumb.

And then there's another family. A mom and her sister and her daughter and her daughter's best thing. I don't know, Haley being silly and dumb. And then there's another family, a mom and her sister and her daughter and her daughter's best friend. You know, it's not necessarily like traditional families, but we have really, it's like Double Dare meets kind of like a cooking competition, but with Play-Doh. It's more like those baking cooking shows. Yeah.

You know? Yeah. Where like you have to make something crazy yeah like those big holiday like holiday cupcake wars or something like that so we have like fun little challenges in the beginning kind of double dare-esque and then uh we have this big massive winter wonderland challenge and they make these really cute creative winter wonderlands out of play-doh in the end someone's gonna win some people gonna get squished yeah see there's like these hydraulic yeah levers that come down because there's three different teams yeah then you have just like kind of any other like competition show there's judges

who are judging whether like which one's the best one and then you come out and you're like announcing the winner and the three hydraulic arms start going down and all three teams like oh no oh no and also they're playing for money right yeah 5k 5 000 yeah so all the hydraulic arms are coming down and all three teams are freaking out and then all of a sudden like one stops the other two keep on going it squishes them down and you know people cry freaking out. And then all of a sudden, like one stops, the other two keep on going. It squishes them down and then, you know, people cry and stuff. It's really cute. Like we got to watch it, obviously, before it aired. It's really cute.

I would say perfect for the holidays and also perfect for like if you've got young kids something to watch with them. Yeah. But you don't have to have young kids. You don't have to have young kids. I was entertained. I'm mid 30s. Yeah.

Mid to late 30s. Yeah. I mean, the Play-Doh is such a young kids. I was entertained. I'm mid-30s. Yeah. Mid to late 30s. Yeah. I mean, Play-Doh is such a nostalgic thing. Everybody loves it. I was on set. I was thinking. I was like, oh my gosh. Smell is such a sense memory.

It's like the biggest sense memory. For sure. I immediately felt like I was five years old playing with Play-Doh. It was just like the aromatics of Play-Doh smell. It's a very specific thingoh smell it's a very specific thing and it's a lot of fun it's really it is perfect for the holidays too so there's only one episode out right yes it's a special okay but we want there to be more episodes it would be nice if there were more episodes yeah so everyone go watch it tell your friends yeah it is really cute

and it's fucking free dude dude. And the kids are so adorable. Yeah. There's one little girl. Her name is Dorothy. Dorothy. Dorothy. She's gonna be a star, Dorothy. Truly. She's the star of it. I just host and judge, but Dorothy's the star. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

She's so, the kids are adorable. If you like kids, if you like Play-Doh, if you like competition, check out squished friday december 10th on imdb tv or anytime after after friday it's not just after friday it's just on but i will say this like so i think the imdb tv thing is could be potentially confusing to people this is what i would suggest doing yeah if you have amazon go to amazon amazon prime go to Amazon, Amazon Prime, go to the search thing and type in squished. Yeah.

And then it'll just bring it to you. Yeah. You know? I think so. Yes. Or IMDB, whatever. Or if you download the IMDB app. But I think that's the easiest way

to go about getting this thing and everyone should go watch it because it is really, really cute. Thank you, babe. Yeah. It's exciting. We're a dope couple. Dope.

I have a new show. Yes. I'm hosting a new show. It's called Best in Dough. And basically, it's a pizza cooking competition show. We've already filmed 10 episodes, which is really cool. So now we're just fingers crossed for season two, even though the show isn't coming out until next summer.

It was created, conceptualized by this guy named Daniele Uditti, who is the owner and head chef at this kind of famous pizza restaurant in L.A. called Pizzana. So if you've ever been to L.A. and you're on the west side, I was just going to Pizzana. And then he's also opening up a new one, I think in Dallas or Houston. Anyways, super sweet guy. And effectively, it's kind of similar to your show. There's three pizza makers who will come on the show. I'm the host and I will start the show by making them do something out of the box, something that they probably didn't think they were going to

have to do. And then we judged him on that. And then afterwards, then there's a big pizza cook. And the set's really cool. There's three wood fire ovens in there plated in gold. Then we have deck ovens that you'd see at any New York style pizza joint. We have celebrity judges that come in. And yeah, it's amazing because we just eat pizza all day and it's so much fun. It's got a lot of heart. They announced it this past week, but it won't be coming out, unfortunately, until the summer.

But I think everyone's going to love Best in Dough. It'll be on Hulu. I'm so excited. Everything about this show is so exciting. The title, Best in Dough. Are you kidding me?

Best in Show. So stinking clever. And then pizza and Wells Adams. I'm sorry. It's like they made this show for me to watch. True. It's very exciting for me. And I got to say, like the pizzas were great.

It's all walks of life coming. We have one that's like Italian grandmothers. The way that they make pizza is very different than world champion. I don't even know this, but you know that there's like a whole circuit of pizza champions. They go like around the country. There's like a big thing in Vegas where they have like these big cook-offs and stuff. There's like a whole circuit that we should go to this. We should.

Yeah. So we have like people from that world, the college students who make college students who, you know, make kind of poor people pizza effectively. Well, we've all we were all there. It's not delivery. It's DiGiorno. Yeah. I mean, listen, I've been there, you know, people who are like pit masters who, of course, make pizza, you know, it's going to be a lot of fun. And I'm really excited. It was really, really fun to shoot. We did 10 episodes in 10 days, which seems ambitious.

But what I realized after doing that show is nothing is as ambitious as Bachelor in Paradise. Because I was much more well-rested after that. After making pizzas or eating pizzas every day. But it's funny because now I do a show called BIP and now a new one called BID. So there you go. Wow. I did not connect those strings.

That's amazing. That's so funny. There you have it. Do we have any other news? You're doing a podcast. Yeah, I have a podcast coming out in january i believe okay well then you you want to come in later and and promote that later we'll talk about that later all right but that is cool that you're doing a podcast it's not like a podcast like this it's like scripted

it's a scripted podcast so kind of like a film kind of like a audible book yeah yeah that's how that's a better description we'll talk about that later, though. Okay. Anything else? Not to promote or anything. I even think with Squish that people will just, like, love watching it. It's a lot of fun to watch. It's really cute. Holiday Christmas chair for all of those to hear. I'm really excited about this holiday episode.

Yeah. Holiday kickoff episode. I think that's what we should do. Like, football. Yeah. First of all, you know, we's what we should do. Like football. Yeah. First of all, you know, we touched on the fact

that we're going to the People's Choice Awards. I just got to get this out. Like I just got to like effectively like emotionally get this out. Sarah gets invited to the People's Choice Awards.

Of course, you're a big star. You know, big star. Big star, kid. And also in the email, it's like, and also Wells is invited. I could be her plus one, which is fine. Big star, kid. And also in the email, it's like, and also Wells is invited.

I could be her plus one, which is fine. And listen, I know my role. Okay. I'm fine with it. But motherfuckers, guys, I'm the one that is nominated. Bachelor in Paradise is nominated. Modern Family is nominated. Why didn't I get the invite?

And Sarah could be my plus one. Listen, there's going to be very few times in my life where this is going to be a thing where like my show is nominated, not hers. And then you still go and do that to me. All right. And it hurt my feelings. And that's it. And I don't think we're going to win because I think with the People's Choice Awards,

they tell you beforehand. I can't remember. I think they might. That's how they get like the Kardashians there. Like, they're oh we're gonna win so you gotta go yeah yeah yeah no one told me like hey well you gotta go because because they did actually invite you it just went it went to the wrong person that's fair it's more fun to complain about it's more fun to complain i get it i get it that i let you have your rant i wasn't gonna interrupt being like okay let me have it let me have it guys never let the truth get in the I wasn't going to interrupt being like, okay. Let me have it. Let me have it, guys.

Never let the truth get in the way of the bit. That's very true. Also, should I write a speech? You're a very good off-the-cuff speech guy. So I think you're fine. Really? Yeah. If I were to win a People's Choice Award, you think that I can go in there completely blind? Yeah.

Wow. I have a lot of faith in there completely blind? Yeah. Wow. I have a lot of faith in you. Really? I believe in you. Okay. Scary. Let's do Christmas. Let's do Christmas.

Do you have a favorite Christmas song to start this with? Ooh. My favorite Christmas song, I believe, I believe, is Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas. I love Bing Crosby, judy garland judy garland what happened to judy garland like i feel like did hollywood just like chew her up and spit her out Next year on Like, I feel like, did Hollywood just, like, chew her up and spit her out? Like, what happened to Judy Garland?

Um, I mean, back then, Hollywood, I mean, Judy was... Judy Garland's actually not, like, her original name, you know? Like, everybody, it's like Norma, Marilyn Monroe, and all this stuff. They change your name. They make you lose a bunch of weight. Yeah. All this stuff. Tighten.

Tighten. They put you on pills to keep you up, pills to put you to sleep. Like, it's not, it was not a great, it was not a paradise as sometimes it is made out to be but um judy garland she worked until late late did you watch the judy with renee zellweger no is that what that's about yeah it's it's a towards like the end of her career and everything judge judy yeah yeah because renee zellweger is playing Judge Judy. I think Judge Judy is the most wealthy television personality in the world.

I think you're correct. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's a very correct statement. Renee Zellweger, pump the brakes. You're no Judge Judy. I don't even know Judge Judy's last name. Yeah. Her last name's Judy.

First name, Judge. Yeah. All of those stars back then, it all ended very tragic yeah for all the women only really for women for guys that were like yeah it's bad like it happened to elvis like mickey rooney i mean i guess i guess elvis yeah you know yeah i don't know all right so let's get off that topic let's start with favorite christmas movies wait you didn't say your favorite Christmas song. Do you know Father Christmas? Yes.

I'm going to play it for you. But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and bugged me And knocked my ring into the floor They said, Father Christmas, give us some money And don't mess around with our silly toys I mean, nothing says Christmas like a song about a guy impersonating Santa getting beaten up and robbed. Absolutely nothing. You ever heard of SantaCon?

Remember when we used to say that we were the same person with different genitalia? Is that not true anymore? I think... the same person with different different genitalia is that not true anymore i think i think i think the longer that we're together and the more we get to know each other it's not it's not as true it it is in some capacities my favorite christmas song compared to your favorite christmas song is very indicative of us as people and they also couldn't be farther away from each other I mean I like the have yourself a merry little Christmas song and I like the king's father Christmas but it is very a Wells Adams and Sarah Hyland song you know yes yours is like Broadway old hollywood meet me in st louis yeah movie musical with judy

garland yeah and then margaret o'brien you know is that what they call it garland because of judy garland i don't think so well they should have uh yeah all right so those are our two favorite songs i mean whatever now you know i also like like Adam Sandler's Christmas Hanukkah song. Christmas. No, he just has the Hanukkah song. The Hanukkah. Sorry. The Hanukkah song. Yeah. Okay. Let's get into movies. Movies. Okay. Favorite Christmas movie go. You go. Okay. I said this last night. Yeah. What did I say? You said that Christmas story. Oh, yeah? And what was the other one?

I think I said Home Alone. Home Alone. You said Home Alone and Christmas story. And then... But you also love Christmas Vacation. I do, but I like Nash Lampoon's Vacation better than Christmas Vacation. Okay. Also, this is a sad thing, but I've cooled on Chevy Chase because I've heard of how much of an asshole he is.

Yeah. And so then I'm like, you know? Yeah. National Lampoon, it wasn't my, it was never my favorite favorite. I love Home Alone. Home Alone is such a good call. It's so good. It is great.

Oh, and the other one I said, I said Bill Murray, Scrooge. Oh, yeah. That's what I said. Yeah. Yeah. You also said that you really like the old school Christmas Carol. I do like the old school Christmas Carol. Yeah.

Hey, what are your favorites? White Christmas. Yeah. Is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I love White Christmas so freaking much. I had Wells watch it with me. He had never seen it. He fell asleep.

Didn't like it. Yeah, it sucks, guys. How could you? It does. It sucks. It's so good. It's for fucking 90-year-old people. Or people who appreciate classical films.

Who is it? It's like Bing Crosby. Yes, Rosemary Clooney. Is that George's mom? Grandma? Great-grandma? I feel like it's a part of Bing Crosby. Yes. Rosemary Clooney. Is that George's mom? Grandma? Great grandma? I feel like it's a part of the Clooney family. Probably.

I think it is. It's got to be. Yeah. Danny Kaye and Vera Ellen. Vera Ellen is such a magnificent dancer. Holy moly. She's so good. I love that movie so much.

She got the sister's song I love White Christmas Okay If any of our listeners are 85 years of age or older This is for you What's another one? One of my favorite Christmas movies That is a more recent Christmas film

Is Four Christmases Yeah Vince Vaughn Reese Reese Witherspoon, Kristen Chenoweth, Jon Favreau, Sissy Spacek. It's just got everybody. It's so good. I like that one.

I got one better for you. The Holiday. I love The Holiday. Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jack Black, Jude Law. Yeah. It's so good. Eli Walllet, Jack Black, Jude Law. Yeah, it's so good. Eli Wallach, who's the old man who she takes to the Oscars, or he takes her to the Oscars, I suppose.

I love The Holiday so much. Hot take, hot take. The Holiday is so much better than Love Actually. Hot take. I hate Love Actually. I do too. I think it's a trash movie and everyone in it is a trash person. Except for the little boy.

Yeah, but like Alan Rickman, he's trash. Rest in peace, but your character is trash. You know, it's funny. Alan Rickman, I'm not sure if he ever played a character that I liked. Hate him as Snape. Hate him as Snape. Hate him as the sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood. Hate him as the bad guy in Die Hard. Yeah.

You know? Hate him in that. Alan Rickman's a good bad guy. He's a great bad guy. He's a great bad guy. It's a good thing that you hate him. Yeah. Because he's doing his job.

I know you're right. You're right. Yeah. I think I hate Andrew Lincoln that you hate him yeah he's doing his job i know i know you're right you're right yeah yeah i think i hate andrew lincoln more than alan rickman in that film is he the guy from walking dead yes i agree he's the guy that goes to the door yes the signs it's like hey i want to fuck my best friend's wife it's horrible totally fine with she goes she kisses him. I know. It's ridiculous. And it's Keira Knightley. I know. I remember seeing videos of

that section where he's like holding like the cards and stuff like that before I actually saw the film. It took me a while to watch the film for some reason. And so I remember seeing a video of it and I'm like, oh my gosh that's so romantic. You know what? I really need to watch this film. I had no idea the story behind the cars

that he can't tell her because his best friend is in the house and could be listening. It's so disgusting. Yeah, everyone in that movie is trash. Trash. Except for the guy and the Portuguese lady. Oh yeah, that's Colin Firth, right?

Yeah, it's Colin Firth. It's Colin Firth, yes. Colin Firth. And then also, I tell you who I did like is the guy that wants to go to America to sleep with a bunch of chicks because that's funny. It is funny. He's the only one who's honest. Hugh Grant.

Hugh Grant's great. Yeah, yeah. He's the prime minister. Yeah, yeah. There are some storylines. It's just the Alan Rickman and Andrew Lincoln storyline. I hate with such a vehement passion that it ruins all the other storylines for me.

Hot take. Sorry, guys. We talked about this last year, but The Family Stone, and I still want me and Brandy's favorites. You talked about that with Ingrid Michaelson on this show. And Ingrid Michaelson agreed with us. She was obsessed with it.

I know. So what does that say about you? You're the odd man out here. It says that I'm watching this as an adult and it is just so fucked up on a brotherly level. It's so weird. Even a sisterly level. Yeah. It's weird. It's not so much a Christmas movie to me. If you read that script if you read that script would you have done that movie?

Hell yeah. Oh, okay. But like not knowing who else is going to be in it because all of a sudden you hear Diane Keaton's in it and then you hear, you know, Sarah Jessica Parker. It's like the cast is amazing.

It's a great story. It's just weird. I'm not saying I don't like it. Okay. I love The Family Stone. I would watch it right now. All right. Here's the thing,

YFTers. Yeah. This film was presented to me by said Exhibit A, Wells Adams, as his favorite Christmas movie. It is. One of them. And that it's so amazing and it reminds him of his family. It does. And I had no idea what the premise was.

I just knew that Diane Keaton, it was obvious that she was sick and everything like that. So I was like, oh, this is going to be a really heartwarming story of families coming together and she ends up having to accept a new fiance kind of thing. Weird. I totally saw it. But it was prefaced as like, this is me and my family and this is my favorite Christmas movie.

And I watched it thinking it is heartwarming in the end but then i see that the brothers swap wives i'm like who am i gonna be passed on to who do you want it's so weird i admit that that part is weird upon further inspection that is a weird part of the movie but is it r Rachel McAdams? Yes. I love her character. So she reminds me of my sister Marisa. Yeah. For sure. Yeah. And then the older sister

who's like pregnant the entire time reminds me of my oldest sister Whitney. And then I remind myself of Luke. Yeah. And then, you know, my brother reminds me of the other guy. Yeah. Dermot Mulroney.

Yeah. Diane Keaton reminds me kind of of my mom who's like very, very judgmental about everything. You know? So who am I in this situation? You're Claire Danes. Oh. You're Claire Danes. I just like fall off a bus into your arms.

You're Claire Danes and I'm Dermot Mulroney, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways. Family Stone. Great film. Weird, I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. Anyways. Family Stone. Great film. Weird, but great. Yeah.

So going back to my originals, though, Scrooge is fantastic. It's obviously the age-old story of Ebenezer Scrooge, but it's modernized with Bill Murray. And so he's hilarious. I mean, how are we feeling about like the the christmas chronicles is that the one with goldie hawn's husband yes well goldie hawn's in it too oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah kurt russell kurt russell i'm like goldie hawn's husband i liked it i thought it was cute i love that like goldie and kurt are doing it together um yeah it's a cute story it's not one of my favorites but i love it okay i really um one thing there were there were two films

that aired on on television i believe like abc or something like that when i was a kid and i would be livid at my mom if I missed it. It was, you know, the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the original Frosty the Snowman.

I really loved those claymation films for kids as a kid and it, whenever I see them I get very, very nostalgic.

I love those. Do they still air those? I'm sure. Like, you know, like brown christmas yeah a little little tree and stuff you know what movie i really loved bad santa oh that's a great movie it's got billy bob thornton yeah john ritter r.i.p lauren graham from um gilmore girls more bernie mack another r.i.p didn Lauren Graham from Gilmore Girls. Bernie Mac, another R.I.P. Didn't he pass away? Oh my gosh. Didn't he pass away?

Yeah, 2008. Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's a great movie. Yeah. It's very irreverent though, so. Yeah. One of my favorite films as a candidate,

still think to this day, is The Santa Claus with Tim Allen when he becomes Santa Claus. I loved that movie the santa claus i had such a crush on the elf in that film he's also in 10 things i hate about you he's in he's in a bunch of stuff still but um i had a massive massive crush on him i liked that one you know i've never seen i've never seen krampus i haven't either we need to watch that because that's like a horror movie Christmas, right?

Yeah, like a horror Christmas thing. I haven't seen that. I will say this. Of like all the animation ones, The Grinch is my favorite. I love The Grinch. I even like

the Jim Carrey version. I love the Jim Carrey version. Did you know that he didn't have facial prosthetics on that movie? That he did that to his face? Like, he can just do that?

Yeah, that's the face that he makes. That's insane. Yeah, but he was in the chair in hair and makeup for hours. They had to make him green and stuff. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, they had prosthetics on his face. I don't know. They did.

Okay. He had prosthetics, but he can just, like like contort his face into the stuff and everything. Fun fact about the Grinch. Mm-hmm. I was filming Annie at the same time that they were filming the Grinch. Oh, really? On the same lot, on the Universal lot. And it was possibly the most Hollywood thing you could ever think like in the coolest way you know you

have a bunch of people on their lunch break dressed up as if it's the 1930s Great Depression just like the wardrobe everyone's dirty it's just like super super cool and then you have a bunch of who's from Whoville walking around in like the most like crazy Christmas Christmasy Dr. Seuss type of way and like interacting with each other on the lot it was a really really cool experience and that was in 1999

folks yeah that was a lot of fun I remember being like oh my gosh those costumes are so cool and like their noses look so awesome and I was like I just look like, oh my gosh, those costumes are so cool and their noses look so awesome. I was like, I just look like I'm really dirty. They got great makeup. I was like eight or nine.

But I love The Grinch. Yeah, we watched the new Annie. Annie is a Christmas film. It ends on Christmas. I was in the 1999 version with Victor Garber and Kathy Bates and all of them. It was so much fun. One of my favorite things I've ever done. Yeah.

But we watched Annie live on NBC starring Harry Connick Jr., Nicole Scherzinger. Nicole Scherzinger. It should have been called Grace Live in my opinion. I think she stole the show. And obviously, I'm a bit biased. Nicole and I did Dirty Dancing together. But she was so magnificent. She was perfection.

Utter perfection. One of my favorite things this week, Nicole Scherzinger as Grace in Annie Live. How did Harry Connick Jr. do as Daddy Warbucks? He was great. I'm not buying it from you. No? No. I thought he was great.

It wasn't the Daddy Warbucks that I'm used to seeing. It was like a different take on it. You know, it was like jazz. It's what Harry Connick Jr. is. He's a jazz. He's a crooner and stuff. So it was like I've never seen Daddy Warbucks as a crooner crooner. So it was different.

But that's why I say it was great because it was Harry Connick Jr.'s spin on it, I think. I love Harry Connick Jr. But Nicole Scherzinger, stand out in that production. And the little girl who played Annie was adorable. Speaking of Harry Connick Jr., my favorite movie that he is in is called Memphis Belle. It's a great wartime movie about, I think, a B-52 bomber that basically saves the day. And he's great in it. He's a tail gunner. And I love Harry Connick Jr.

I do love Harry Connick Jr. Great actor, great singer from New Orleans. Those are all three things that I like. Yeah, I was in a parade with Harry Connick Jr. I just thought that was just a non sequitur. You just... I was in a parade.

Parade. Okay, cool. We did a Mardi Gras parade together. Did you? Yeah. Did she show your boobs? No. Did you throw beads to people who showed their boobs to you? Yes. I did. People get crazy during Mardi Gras.

They're like tossing their babies up to you. You're like, stop putting your baby up in the air. I don't want to hit your baby with beads just want some titties i don't need babies i love babies i'm just i'm terrified for this baby's life it's in danger right now i'm not in a time in my life where i need a baby but i'm in a time in my life where i need some titties i i was i was in my early 20s so yeah i was like 21 22 well i've ever told you a story that i was the patient the king of mardi gras lafayette lou? Yes, I've seen the picture. Yeah.

And I was in tights and lipstick and a crazy hat. And I was 13, 14. Yeah. And I remember telling my mom, I was like, I saw 48 boobs today. You counted them? Yeah. 48 as in 48 total or 48 individual boobs. So I saw 24 women show me tits and then I multiplied it because as the child, that's what you do.

You're like every boob counts. Every boob counts. Even to this day, every boob counts. You know? That's amazing. So what we were talking about last night, we were watching Elf, which is one of the best Christmas movies. Of course. You said something so interesting, and it got us into this weird conversation about how we don't have enough fantasy based in reality.

Yeah. And it actually works. What's great about Elf is it's so outrageous, but you as a viewer buy in in the beginning. Yeah. You know, you as a viewer are like, okay, this is the world we live in. Elves are real.

Santa's real. Magic and all that kind of stuff is real. And I can go along on this adventure with you. And I feel like we just don't do that enough with movies these days. Yeah. Or ever, where it's like completely fantastical, but then also set in reality.

I think the reason why it works so well is because it reminds you of actually being a child where you believe in all of that and in reality. Yeah. We were talking about in another film that is like that, where straight off the bat, you're just like, yep, that, this is real is Enchanted.

It starts off as a cartoon, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then Susan Sarandon is the bad guy. She's the stepmother to James Marsden. And she sends Amy Adams into the real world, into New York City. And we just take that for what it is. Yeah, Enchanted works, they kind of do it in The NeverEnding Story, but he's just reading the story.

Same thing with Princess Bride. Same thing with Princess Bride, yeah, exactly, where they don't come into the world. Yeah. And it would be cool if there were more stories like that. It would be nice. Just the ridiculous, ridiculous reality. Yeah, surely there's more, but like... It would be nice. Just the ridiculous, ridiculous reality. Yeah.

Surely there's more, but like. Can you guys think of more ridiculous fantasy tropes set in reality? I can think of one. Roger Rabbit. Roger Rabbit. Yes. I freaking love that movie. And that is exactly. Yeah.

Mm-hmm. That's a great example. And that is exactly, yeah. That's a great example. But I feel like we should do more of that because what makes Elf so great, you can get away with so much because the viewer signs a contract in the beginning of, okay, we live in this world.

Great. Yeah. Another film that we watched recently that's really great has nothing to do with christmas but this is the end yeah that's another one but that's just an apocalyptic story which that's that doesn't count i don't think so harry potter kind of does it but there's not a whole lot of scenes with muggles yeah so like we talked about last night the scene where where ron and harry did take the flying car.

Chamber of secrets. That's where you're like, okay. Yeah. Cause most of the movie is completely fantasy. You live in this different world and this different school and this different universe. Basically in the books, it is way more ridiculous in reality than it, than it is in the films.

Yeah. You know, I would like to know if you guys can think of any ridiculous reality contracts in films that we signed at the very beginning and just say like, okay, this is it. This is what it is. I feel like there's a lot of stuff that we're missing. Everything Santa, we signed that contract of like, yes. If you say everything Santa, it has to go to everything zombies, everything vampires, you know. everything zombies everything vampires you know i feel like ridiculous in reality contracts that we sign are mostly for horror yeah and christmas like holiday films you know like halloween

christmas why don't we just have a normal one roger rabbit's the only normal one yeah roger rabbit's a normal one that's about a murder right i don't even remember yeah who framed roger rabbit yeah exactly okay yeah what what are normal ones we need more normal ones enchanted's a normal one yeah but it's also like disney princess stuff yeah that's just that's just a cartoon come to life for me yeah yeah like the live action beauty and the beast you just got this like wildebeest on a wolf. Disney's Disney. Anything Disney, you sign a ridiculous reality contract. All right. Stupid questions about movies.

Here we go. Is The Nightmare Before Christmas a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie? Both. Okay. So you can watch both? Both times? Yes. What if you only get to watch it once?

When do you do it? Christmas. Okay. Die hard. Who cares, right? This is back to my whole like, every guy's favorite movie is Fight Club. It's like every guy's favorite Christmas movie is Die Hard. I don't think it's a Christmas movie.

It's an action film. Yeah, I agree with you. It's also, it's the same thing as like- It takes place on Christmas. It's the same thing as me saying, I think hot dogs are sandwiches because I know it gets a rise out of you. Yeah.

So I do it. It's the same thing of being like, Die Hard is a Christmas movie. No, it's not. It's a fucking action movie that takes place during that time. Exactly. Which does not make it a Christmas movie. It doesn't. Yeah.

Ooh, I like these questions. I don't know. That's kind of all I got. Oh, that's it? Yeah, sorry. Is there another one? Is there another controversial... Christmas thing?

Holiday thing? Polar Express. Complete garbage? Complete garbage. Yeah. Sorry, Tom Hanks. It's like the one thing that Tom Hanks has done that I'm like, no, thank you. I don't like Polar Express.

I'm not about it. Jingle, jangle. On Netflix. We watched it last year. Really, really good. Do you remember that one? It's with Forrest Whitaker and Keegan-Michael Key, where they make the robot toy thing. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And it's like the musical. Yeah, I like that one. I loved Jingle Jangle. That was a really, really good one. Do you consider Harry Potter movies Christmas movies? I think that's probably a controversial one. Isn't there one that is very... Christmassy?

Yeah, like where Ron and Harry both stay at Hogwarts for Christmas? I'm pretty sure... No, there is, because Ron's parents go visit his brother who's in... In Egypt. Yeah, with the dragons.

Charlie. Yeah. I think it's Sorcerer's Stone. I believe it's Sorcerer's Stone where Harry and Ron stay back and they get the sweaters, the ugly Christmas sweaters that Molly has knit for them.

So I think that one is. Sorcerer's Stone's a Christmas movie and not the other ones. Yes. Which Miracle on 34th Street do you like better? The one with Natalie Wood or Mara Wilson? Dude, I don't know if I know either of them. What? I mean, I know the little girl with the lisp.

Uh-huh. Is that Mara Wilson? From Mrs. Doubtfire? Yes. Yeah, that's Mara Wilson. Okay, that one. That was the one from the 90s with Dylan McDermott. Yeah. Okay, that Mrs. Doubtfire? Yes. Yeah, that's Mara Wilson. OK, that one. That was the one from the 90s with Dylan McDermott. Yeah.

OK, that one. Because guess what? I'm not 95 years old and I remember the old one. I don't know if I've ever seen the old one. You know, really? Oh, it's a classic. It's with Natalie Wood. Natalie Wood from West Side Story.

She was a child actor. She was amazing. James Wood's grandma? Right. Maybe. Natalie Wood has the whole, it's that whole, is it an accidental death? Was it a murder on the boat with Christopher Walken and Robert Redford and everyone who killed Natalie Wood?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a real life thing. Yeah, that's a real life thing. Oh, yeah. We should talk about that one day. I think Christopher Walken knows something. Wow. Whoa.

She fell off the boat and now she's dead. Natalie Wood is a goddamn national treasure. Do you want to just really quickly explain what that story is? Because it is kind of interesting. It's crazy. Okay, so wood died under mysterious circumstances at the age of 43 during the making of brian's storm while on a weekend boat trip to santa catalina island on board her husband's 58 motor yacht splendor outside of the

drowning many of the circumstances are unknown it was never determined how she entered the water woods was with her husband, Robert Wagner. Wagner, not Redford, sorry. Yeah, co-star Christopher Walken and Splendor's captain, Dennis Davern, on the evening of November 28th. Authorities recovered her body at 8 a.m. the next day, a mile away from the boat, with a small inflatable dinghy beach nearby. Wagner said that she was not with them when he went to bed. The autopsy report revealed that she had bruises on her body and arms as well as an abrasion on her left cheek, but no indication on how those injuries occurred.

It's very shady. Yeah. I think Christopher Walken knows what happened. Wow. Everybody thinks that Robert killed her. And Christopher Walken saw it. Like he knew. Or he knew.

Like he knew. Like he knew something. They've done a bunch of documentaries on it and everything like that. The bruises and if you just fall off a boat, you're not going to get that many bruises on your body. You know? Yeah. You may get a cut on your cheek, but that many bruises on your body, you know? Yeah. You may get a cut on your cheek, but like that many bruises, like all this stuff.

And then if she fell in the water, people say that she was like, you know, like John fell in the water, so no one heard her scream kind of stuff. But it's just like a, it's just an interesting, interesting thing. Very, very tragic. I am a big fan of hers. This is what the internet says.

Alleged that Wood had been flirting with Walken and Wagner was jealous and enraged and that Wagner had prevented Davern from turning on the searchlights notifying authorities after Wood's disappearance. Davern alleged that Wagner was responsible for her death. Yeah. And Walken like won't talk about it. Yeah. Or he like sticks to whatever story he's stuck to all this time.

Yeah. That was a very long time ago. Yeah. It's like come clean, Christopher. Do you think we're ever going to find out? I don't know.

That makes me sad if we don't. I'm a big Natalie Wood fan. You know what movie I've never seen? It's a Wonderful Life? Yeah. Never seen It's a Wonderful Life. You know why?

Because you're not 95 years old. Can we update it with like Zooey Deschanel and... No, please, please do not remake It's a Wonderful Life. It's perfect the way it is. It's magnificent. Can we do one that's like It's an Okay Life? No. You know the whole line like,

look, daddy, every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. That's from It's a Wonderful Life. I don't even know what that is. What? Are people watching these movies? Yes. I don't think they are.

I grew up watching It's a Wonderful Life every single year. You come from a theater background, though. Like, that's what people, that's what theater nerds do, I feel like. Well, I guess so. But, you know, I always attributed watching what? Nothing. I'm just laughing at you. I always attributed watching old films because of my dad's age.

Yeah. Because I have my dad's 13 years older than my mom. He was always like everyone always thought he was my grandpa before he was my dad. And my dad's a year or two younger than your mom. So, like, I'm kind of shocked that your dad, who's 80 years old, didn't watch these films with you guys or your mom, you know?

I don't know. I mean, maybe we should have watched it this year. Here's the thing. We're going to watch it this year and I'm going to be like, yeah, it's a trash movie. I know I'm going to do it. But it's such a good story. Is it though?

It is. It really is. Oh. Do you want to know the premise of it's a wonderful life yeah i guess there's this guy this family works at a bank a bunch of stuff happens essentially all the money in the bank is gone everyone wants their money it's like a whole thing and he And he is like, I don't know what I'm going to do. And he goes to jump off a bridge. Oh, nothing says Christmas like a suicide story. And when he goes to jump off said bridge, he notices someone in like an old man in the water that's fallen in is like calling for help. Yeah.

So he jumps in, saves him. And it turns out so the guy that he saved is his angel kind of angel angel in training really yeah doesn't have his wings yet and intern angel and he is just like everyone's lives would be better off if i was never born my brother wouldn't be deaf or whatever it is. You know, there's like a bunch of stuff. He shows him what his life would be like, what everyone's life would be like if he wasn't born. Yeah. If he didn't exist.

And then we realized that he, in fact, did enrich a lot of people's lives and that makes him so he doesn't kill himself. It's a wonderful life. Great. He has a wonderful life. Okay. So I just found a website that's got the 54 best Christmas movies. Mm-hmm.
