Speaker 1: Happy Holidays, Happy.
Speaker 2: Honkah, Happy holidays everyone. This is fine, this is fun. Jenn.
Speaker 2: I would like to say, as someone who has known
Speaker 2: Jenna for a very long time, Jenna used to hate
Speaker 2: Christmas music. Yep, everything about it. And then I was
Speaker 2: at Jenna's a couple of weeks ago and there's there
Speaker 2: are several Christmas trees, there's lots of decorations. She's talking
Speaker 2: about Christmas music.
Speaker 1: I'm listening to Christmas music December first.
Speaker 3: I am change.
Speaker 2: Is it because you have a daughter?
Speaker 1: Yes? Absolutely, It's like brand new eyes, like fresh fresh eyes.
Speaker 1: I am seeing things very differently. We see Siana every year.
Speaker 1: We celebrate every night of Hannah, we do Hanukkah, we
Speaker 1: do like she's making out this year. I'm getting gifts,
Speaker 1: we're rapping, we're doing Christmas lights. We're going to the
Speaker 1: zoo to see the Christmas animals. It's just really fun.
Speaker 1: It's really really fun. She understand the concept of like
Speaker 1: the presence. She does, because the other the other day
Speaker 1: for Hanukkah, it was like the fifth night, and she
Speaker 1: had started to kind of get into the groove that
Speaker 1: like every night she gets like a small present after
Speaker 1: we light the candles and sing some songs. And it
Speaker 1: was midday and I put the present under the tree
Speaker 1: because I figured, oh, like, you know, she doesn't quite
Speaker 1: get it yet all all, you know, and we'll bring
Speaker 1: it to her. Well, midday I'm in the kitchen and
Speaker 1: I hear like she's opening her and I no, no,
Speaker 1: that's not till Yeah, she got to. But I was like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's go.
Speaker 2: She's in it. She's going to be devastated when the
Speaker 2: holidays are over.
Speaker 1: I know, what are we going to do? She's just
Speaker 1: gonna have to play with all her brand new stuff. Anyway,
Speaker 1: this is very exciting. What so you guys, we have
Speaker 1: some fun mini holiday episodes for you for the rest
Speaker 1: of the year before we get back into our recafs
Speaker 1: and guests. And we are so happy that the strike
Speaker 1: is over, our contract was ratified. We're going to welcome

Speaker 3: So happy holidays everybody.

Speaker 2: always serve as a great like, you know, I have
Speaker 2: some work to do, and you just put us on.
Speaker 2: We're your work. We're the office call.
Speaker 1: That's what we're here.
Speaker 2: So there's an emergency at work. Oh, I have to

Speaker 2: Yes, but on actual Christmas Day, I'm leaving Texas somewhere fun. Yeah.
Speaker 3: For New Year's Oh my goodness. How exciting.
Speaker 2: I'll be in Brazil.
Speaker 3: You've been there a few times now, huh.
Speaker 2: I think this will be my maybe thirteenth or fourteen
Speaker 2: to Brazil.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 3: Amazing. I mean you could basically get your seasonship.
Speaker 2: I wish.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's very cool. Ever, I'm jealous. I'm jealous.
Speaker 2: I'm very excited. I'll be there for a couple of weeks,
Speaker 2: so it'll be very very fun.
Speaker 3: Amazing.
Speaker 2: I used to spend every New Year's there for several years,
Speaker 2: even during Glee.
Speaker 3: That's right, you'd have to come back a lot faster though, Yeah,
Speaker 3: but I will.
Speaker 2: I'll say that. I will talk about that in the
Speaker 2: next episode. I talked about New Year's things. But for
Speaker 2: this I went karaokeing with my family. What it was
Speaker 2: not my idea. It's not something we do as a family. Okay,
Speaker 2: so it's not like a tradition, not at all. But
Speaker 2: my brother, one of my brothers, wanted to go karaoke,
Speaker 2: has been planning like for weeks, and so round it
Speaker 2: up us and like his friends and one of my
Speaker 2: other brother's friends to go karaoking, which was just I
Speaker 2: was a little scared.
Speaker 1: Did you sing any Glee songs? Hell? No? Did you
Speaker 1: do any songs that we've done on Glee? No? Wow?
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah I did. Uh maybe that's a lie. Maybe yeah,
Speaker 2: because I didn't do it on Glee. So then I forgot.
Speaker 2: We did so many songs. There's no way to not.
Speaker 3: Well, that's what I'm saying. That's why I was like.
Speaker 2: I also forced my entire family to go see the
Speaker 2: Renaissance movie.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: I'm a good son.
Speaker 1: You are a good son, You're a very good sim
Speaker 1: and you know you're Edgie hitting them.
Speaker 2: My dad said, He's like, well, you know, I'd probably
Speaker 2: never normally see it. He's like, that just doesn't seem like.
Speaker 2: I'm like, yeah, I know, I go, but you understand
Speaker 2: good entertainment and you appreciate good artistry. He's like, well, yeah,
Speaker 2: I do, of course I do. I'm like, and I
Speaker 2: know you like Beyonce. He's like, well, yeah, she's incredible.
Speaker 2: It's like, so you're welcome.
Speaker 3: I'm proud of you, Kevin. That's really great, and I'm.
Speaker 2: Pro says the gift that keeps on giving. You can't
Speaker 2: not go see her perform, either live or the movie
Speaker 2: and walk away being like that was bad. I didn't
Speaker 2: like that, right, so was I.
Speaker 1: I usually am in New York for Christmas, and I
Speaker 1: am not.
Speaker 3: I am currently in.
Speaker 1: La Presibly, it's been okay, you know, Sadly, it's it's
Speaker 1: hard because I don't see my family that many times
Speaker 1: a year.
Speaker 3: The last time I saw him was my Christmas.
Speaker 1: So it's it's hard though, when you know how it
Speaker 1: can't and they are not a good traveler at this age.
Speaker 1: It's just it is what it is. Every parent I've
Speaker 1: ever talked to is like, this is the age where
Speaker 1: you just don't you don't travel unless they're like the
Speaker 1: miracle baby that's like sits in front of a table
Speaker 1: water is very still, and she's just not that person.
Speaker 3: So it makes it really difficult for us and mainly
Speaker 3: for me.
Speaker 1: And so we decided to give Emma Hankah and her
Speaker 1: Christmas in our own home, which is exciting because yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's special and she has to wake up
Speaker 1: on Tomorrow morning and open all the gifts under the
Speaker 1: tree and we did Hanukkah and earlier in December, and
Speaker 1: it's just really special. It's it's really fun. And we
Speaker 1: have this like air like new Menora that Emma's grandma
Speaker 1: got us and we pull it out every year. So
Speaker 1: there's just like new traditions actually being made, which is
Speaker 1: exciting too. But usually on Christmas c you will go
Speaker 1: get like Italian food, So I'm trying to do something
Speaker 1: Italian tonight and then tomorrow we will figure it out.
Speaker 1: And then my nieces, who we usually do while we're there,
Speaker 1: we do.
Speaker 3: A gingerbread house every year.
Speaker 1: So the year of COVID when we did not go home,
Speaker 1: and you and I spent Christmas together, yes, which was
Speaker 1: very fun. We did a zoom gingerbread house. We bought
Speaker 1: the same gingerbread house and then we designed it together.
Speaker 3: And so we're going to do that.
Speaker 1: Again over the break this year so that we can
Speaker 1: celebrate together.
Speaker 2: That's so sweet. Yeah, oh technology.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: Honestly, it's it's like the worst and the best. And
Speaker 1: I'm grateful for this holidays when.
Speaker 2: I think it's it's hard when you're a kid and
Speaker 2: you go somewhere else, I think for Christmas because it's
Speaker 2: so special to be like wake up at your own
Speaker 2: home and see the tree and go to the presence,
Speaker 2: and so that's that's nice. You were able to build
Speaker 2: in your own home.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see them soon. And the travel holiday travel
Speaker 1: is just bonkers. So we did it last year and
Speaker 1: she cried both ways six hours and we just went
Speaker 1: on a flight recently. It was half the time of
Speaker 1: New York and it was I was unwell, it was
Speaker 1: really unwell. So we just said we have to wait
Speaker 1: a little bit till she gets a little bit older,
Speaker 1: like figure it out. I don't know what the thing is.
Speaker 1: If anybody wants to write it and tell me if
Speaker 1: they have any tricks.
Speaker 3: She did. She won't sit in front of a TV
Speaker 3: like it's just not her thing.
Speaker 2: I have some Christmas related questions.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we watched a Christmas movie every every.
Speaker 2: Night of like, oh, just name some of them. Okay, no,
Speaker 2: what has been your favorite so far?
Speaker 1: Well? Elf had its twenty year anniversary this year, and
Speaker 1: Elf has definitely been number one on my list for
Speaker 1: a long time. My brother and I would watch Christmas
Speaker 1: Story every year and National Lampoon that's also on the
Speaker 1: top of my list. And then we watched die Hard
Speaker 1: because it is a Christmas movie. It's a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: You should watch it over the break.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, do you have a least favorite Christis movie?
Speaker 3: Honestly?
Speaker 1: No, who has a lease fit? I mean maybe the
Speaker 1: Gell Christmas? Oh, I have a funny story. So Emma
Speaker 1: met there this year? Oh no, we went to our
Speaker 1: very good friend Alessandra's house, who has a daughter, Lady,
Speaker 1: who is just a few weeks younger than Emma, and.
Speaker 3: Lady loves the.
Speaker 2: Grinch, and uh why does that fit?
Speaker 1: I know it really is. She's just such a character.
Speaker 1: The Grinch can and is a really really good costume.
Speaker 1: And the Grinch is like a monster essentially, Like it's
Speaker 1: not Sanna who like she kind of didn't like it
Speaker 1: was like the Grinch, and I've never seen the sheer
Speaker 1: terror in like in her body and on her face
Speaker 1: was actually like a lar. I was like very upset
Speaker 1: about it because she looked petrified and she said no, no, no,
Speaker 1: and like ran away, like ran away and would not
Speaker 1: let go of me, and then was clocking him throughout
Speaker 1: the party, looking over my shoulder trying to see where he.
Speaker 2: Was keeping track of him.
Speaker 1: Yes, which like good instincts, girlfriend, but still, I've never
Speaker 1: in her tiny eighteen months of life seeing her like that,
Speaker 1: and it was really jarring. She was so like we
Speaker 1: went to Disney, she didn't want to Mansion. She's fine,
Speaker 1: like no issues, but the Grinch was really and to
Speaker 1: be fair, he's a creepy character.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he is anyway understandable.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite holiday song?
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I went to a little Christmas to
Speaker 2: get together a couple days ago, and they went around.
Speaker 2: We all went around and were asking your favorite Christmas song,
Speaker 2: but also your most the song you think is most
Speaker 2: overrated I really don't like so I think my favorite
Speaker 2: Christmas song is probably White Christmas, but like the Bing
Speaker 2: Crosby version. But I also love a Holy Night like
Speaker 2: Celia a Holy Night. Yes, Christmas songs I think are overrated.
Speaker 2: I don't like baby It's Cold Outside, and I kind
Speaker 2: of don't like Last Christmas.
Speaker 1: Oh I love Last Christmas.
Speaker 2: Sh Wow. I know it's an unpopular opinion. I don't
Speaker 2: I don't love it. Of the newer songs, I think
Speaker 2: Katie Clarkson's Tree excellent so good.
Speaker 3: Emma likes that one of the best.
Speaker 2: Because I have a harder time with the newer Christmas
Speaker 2: music always. But I do think that Kelly Clarkson song
Speaker 2: Oh Boy, well.
Speaker 1: Christina Aguilar is all the Christmas album still slaps.
Speaker 2: Look, Clay Aiken had a great Curty's album, Celine Dion's
Speaker 2: Billy Gilman.
Speaker 1: Selene's I gotta pull that one out for tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Oh my God, Holy Night. We all played it. This
Speaker 2: party was like a lot of singers, okay, like very
Speaker 2: like professional background singers, like and artists, because you know,
Speaker 2: if you can be an artist and a background singer,
Speaker 2: you're like actually an incredible vocalist. We're like, I can
Speaker 2: fake it enough. These people are unreal, And so we
Speaker 2: were talking, Oh my god, By the way, have you
Speaker 2: heard Brandy's Christmas album?
Speaker 3: No Jenna, Okay, that's on my list.
Speaker 2: She doesn't do what with her daughter? No has like
Speaker 2: the same voice or toy slightly different, but it can
Speaker 2: do all the crazy runs that Brandy does. It is
Speaker 2: It is exactly what you'd want it to be. It's insane.
Speaker 2: But we all so every time someone bring up a
Speaker 2: song they liked, and we'd all sit there and like,
Speaker 2: listen to it. And so we listened to Celine DION'SO
Speaker 2: Holy Night, and she's just like, it's easy for her
Speaker 2: for you know, most of that song, ninety percent of
Speaker 2: that song, and then she just hits a couple of
Speaker 2: notes at the end. She's like, don't worry, I got it.
Speaker 3: I got it.
Speaker 2: Where are you?
Speaker 1: You know, there's a few, there's very few Christmas songs.
Speaker 1: I don't like Up on the rooftop, Up on the
Speaker 1: roof up. It feels like more kiddish to me. But
Speaker 1: don't like that song. Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.
Speaker 1: Could do without it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was a big one.
Speaker 1: People said that could do without it? And obviously jingle
Speaker 1: bells could do without it. Favorite Christmas song, Oh Holy
Speaker 1: is up there for sure?
Speaker 2: That's my shower song.
Speaker 3: Some Hallylujah, I like some Hallelujah?
Speaker 2: Is that a Christmas song?
Speaker 3: I mean it's on the Panatonics one.
Speaker 2: I like that one there.
Speaker 3: I like the Christmas song.
Speaker 2: The classics are the classics, like they stood the test
Speaker 2: of time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, but anything's clean down now. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I gotta go back and listen to that Christmas time
Speaker 1: because I don't know what we wasted month.
Speaker 3: A wasted month you have.
Speaker 2: You have the next twenty four hours to really just
Speaker 2: get those streams in well before we let people.
Speaker 3: Go back to their Christmas vacation. There's a few games
Speaker 3: I'd like to play.
Speaker 2: Kevin, Great, let's do it.
Speaker 3: Would you rather oh, yes, okay?
Speaker 1: Would you rather have to sing carols off key for
Speaker 1: the entire day?
Speaker 2: Easy?
Speaker 3: Or wear a sandas suit to a summer barbecue.
Speaker 2: Sing carols off key? Because that would be be trying
Speaker 2: to sing Carol Christmas Carol on key, And.
Speaker 1: That's just me generally. I'm like, oh God, would you
Speaker 1: rather tinsel for hair or jingle bells for ear rings?
Speaker 4: Oh, who has very but very I don't know, well,
Speaker 4: origin would you rather have to eat fruitcake for every meal?
Speaker 3: I don't give them.
Speaker 1: That's sounds like you, or or drink hot cocoa with
Speaker 1: pickles this holiday season?
Speaker 2: Was that a slur? Jenna? Are you calling me a fruitcake?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 3: It's sweet, you're sweet spurs.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, Yeah, you got sugar in your tank.
Speaker 3: Only drink hot coco with pickles.
Speaker 2: I think I would too, Okay, and I actually would
Speaker 2: like to try that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I honestly don't know what we've been thinking
Speaker 1: where we've been. Would you rather have your holiday dinner
Speaker 1: cooked by a famous chef or by your favorite fictional
Speaker 1: holiday character? I was going to say the same thing.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, statue chicken.

Speaker 1: I feel like it might as well backwards though, yes, okay,
Speaker 1: so season four, episode ten, we're rating third.
Speaker 2: I mean the thing is I like it's a toss
Speaker 2: up between these two for.
