Speaker 1: Welcome to Movie Crush, a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Hey everybody, and welcome to Movie Crush, Mini Crush. It's
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, hallelujah? Is that what they say on Christmas Day?
Speaker 1: It's Christmas? No, believe it. I believe that it's Christmas. Yes,
Speaker 1: I do. The calendar attest to this. It's not actually
Speaker 1: Christmas for us right now, and that, of course we're
Speaker 1: going to operate as though it is, because for all
Speaker 1: intents and purposes, it is for us all now, that's
Speaker 1: right now. What's your favorite Christmas song? Oh? Man, you
Speaker 1: know um Let it snow is cute. I like it.
Speaker 1: I like the whole part about Parson Brown. Well in
Speaker 1: the in the we could build a snowman and pretend
Speaker 1: that he is Parson Brown. For sure. I used to
Speaker 1: think it was like name dropping some old timey celebrity,
Speaker 1: and I recently realized it's just like a parson who
Speaker 1: is like a prep preacher, uh, and it's just meant
Speaker 1: to be the local, the local parson by the name
Speaker 1: of Brown. Parson Brown. He's a stand up guy, so
Speaker 1: I hear. I've I've had some dealings with Parson Brown.
Speaker 1: I couldn't speak more highly of him, Uh, my favorite
Speaker 1: Christmas song? Since you didn't ask. I was going to
Speaker 1: ask Chuck. I was still dwelling on Parson Brown. Sorry
Speaker 1: is uh? I don't know. I like a lot of
Speaker 1: the you know, the Tom Tom Petty's Christmas song is great?
Speaker 1: What is I don't know this one? What's it called? Um?
Speaker 1: Tom Petty Christmas song? It is called Christmas all over Again?
Speaker 1: Of course I couldn't. I couldn't think of except so
Speaker 1: many songs swirling my oh. I like that John Lennon one.
Speaker 1: So this is Christmas yeah something, and it's probably a
Speaker 1: little bit done, it's old. It's certainly better than the
Speaker 1: the Paul McCartney one Wonderful Christmas Time, which will make
Speaker 1: the waitresses. Christmas song is Emily's favorite, and it's a
Speaker 1: really good one. Maybe Christmas, maybe Christmas. I hope you
Speaker 1: have the what is it? How's it go? I don't
Speaker 1: know this year. It's a it's a fun song. But
Speaker 1: Christmas all over Again by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Speaker 1: is great. It's um at the very end, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's a good song because it's Tom Petty, but at
Speaker 1: the very end, as it's sort of fading out, Tom
Speaker 1: Petty and that great Gainesville, Florida. The accent of his goes.
Speaker 1: You know. For Christmas this year, I wanna something about
Speaker 1: a Ricking Backer guitar. A uh no, it was heys
Speaker 1: for not a Marshal amp. He asked for musical gear
Speaker 1: and it's the cutest thing. In fact, I'm gonna look
Speaker 1: and see if over again. I bet you it doesn't
Speaker 1: show the end. Oh yeah, I want a new rick
Speaker 1: and Becker guitar, two Fender basement's a chuck Berry songbook xylophone,
Speaker 1: a xylophone. That's a nice twist. Oh my gosh, he
Speaker 1: needs two Fender basements. That's a lot. That's a lot
Speaker 1: of that's a lot of power. It's a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of amperage. So funny. But those basement apps,
Speaker 1: I think they were like built to be bass guitar amps,
Speaker 1: but then they just were like you know, people just
Speaker 1: love them for electric guitar. Yeah. I played through my
Speaker 1: vox for my guitar. And then in the band, you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of stock to the band room with gear
Speaker 1: so it would just live here. Uh And the dudes
Speaker 1: didn't have to bring over stuff, you know when they came.
Speaker 1: So for Eddie. I got a Fender twin silver face
Speaker 1: that's just so goddamn loud. It's a very loud amnal Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've got an Orange to twelve app that that has
Speaker 1: the potential to get quite loud, but I use it
Speaker 1: for recording mainly. I only play out very much these days,
Speaker 1: or having in a while, and I tend to turn
Speaker 1: it kind of low and just close my kit and
Speaker 1: make it kind of that way A lot of fun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh the vox. I just I didn't get the
Speaker 1: a c uh, I got the forty because as opposed
Speaker 1: to that, what is it a sixty? Now? Why am I?
Speaker 1: I can't think of anything today? Nol It's Christmas other
Speaker 1: one with a single speaker, Yeah, A thirty. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the exactly. But there's there's a bigger one though. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's the the double, which is you don't need that
Speaker 1: much in the basement first of all, and even when
Speaker 1: you play gigs, uh, you just you know you might
Speaker 1: get up. It sounds totally agreed, all right. Well, now
Speaker 1: that we've gotten our gear porn out of the way,
Speaker 1: let's uh, yeah, what have we been talking about? So? No,
Speaker 1: this Christmas we I think we did this last year.
Speaker 1: I can't remember, but what I decided to do was
Speaker 1: to not talk about Christmas movies or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but simply to say, leave a holiday message for somebody
Speaker 1: and we'll read him. Oh that's nice, and that's it. No,
Speaker 1: these are gonna be holiday messages. Messages. Am I drunk?
Speaker 1: I think you might just be having a stroke. Chuck,

Speaker 1: always makes me feel like a million bucks. And I
Speaker 1: owe you a care package as well. I asked you

Speaker 1: from from me as well. And if you haven't, well
Speaker 1: it's coming. I'm some slow. I'm a slow person, but

Speaker 1: comfortable about just how they are. Uh. It's it's good
Speaker 1: to like have a snore discussion, and not just like
Speaker 1: what you gotta do to get sleep everyone. Ruby crawls
Speaker 1: into bed with us now, starting about a year and
Speaker 1: a half ago, she started doing that in like the
Speaker 1: middle of the night. So sometimes she'll come in there
Speaker 1: and then we've got the dog and the cats on
Speaker 1: the bed and it gets a little crowded and she
Speaker 1: starts flopping around and smacking me in the face. So
Speaker 1: sometimes I will then go into her bedroom and sleep
Speaker 1: on her little, uh you know, five year old bed,
Speaker 1: which is quite comfy. We all gotta get our sleep, everyone.
Speaker 1: Deb Sanders says, this Merry Christmas to all my fellow crushers.
Speaker 1: This year has been a ship show, but I've always
Speaker 1: found a laugh in humanity reading through these posts. I
Speaker 1: mostly lurk and read and listen. Uh, Deb, I'd like
Speaker 1: you speaking up. I like seeing your lovely face. You
Speaker 1: should comment more if you want. But I'm always appreciative
Speaker 1: of everyone, and especially our fearless leader. I guess that's
Speaker 1: me who managed to turn a nationwide podcast into a
Speaker 1: tight little family. And how in the world did he
Speaker 1: manage that? Well? I didn't manage it, you guys managed
Speaker 1: It's true. I just started a Facebook page and you
Speaker 1: all said, all right, let's go now. There's something particularly
Speaker 1: special about this show and one of the reasons it's
Speaker 1: one of my favorite times doing these because there's always,
Speaker 1: you know, with the episodes that you do um where
Speaker 1: you're talking to someone one on one. Those are obviously
Speaker 1: great too, but with this one, there is this inherent
Speaker 1: sense of like family and connectiveness that isn't always presence
Speaker 1: in and outside of just like a little segment here
Speaker 1: and there at the very end of an episode as
Speaker 1: an afterthought, and this whole show is kind of based
Speaker 1: on that, and it just really warms my heart. Also,
Speaker 1: I like hanging out with you a little bit too, Chuck.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. Hey me too, buddy. You have
Speaker 1: made this year a lot better for me. The fact
Speaker 1: that we get to sit down and do this every
Speaker 1: week or every other week is something I always look
Speaker 1: forward to, say. Teresa Gorman says, Todd, I love you
Speaker 1: so much. You make life better. Karen Knox says, oh,
Speaker 1: it's in French, well, joyo Noel to Lament Key pars France.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. If only we had Casey here, he
Speaker 1: would pick it apart. But I think he did a
Speaker 1: pretty fine job there, Chuck Karen says, I'm just being
Speaker 1: a Bret and wanting to Chuck to speak French. Well
Speaker 1: it worked, But merry Christmas to all the crushers out
Speaker 1: there from uh Karen, a nice one in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada,
Speaker 1: Canada's capital. Yes, sorry Karen about the whole Karen phenomenon.
Speaker 1: It's not your fault. It's just I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know why. Why is the name Karen? I know
Speaker 1: I've done plenty of nice Karen's. They're all kinds of
Speaker 1: nice karens. And that's just a dumb, stupid internet thing,
Speaker 1: I know. But it's also fun to say, I'm I'm torn,
Speaker 1: I'm torn. All right, let's do two more each old
Speaker 1: sounds good. Man, got one here from a fabulous name.
Speaker 1: Anton vander Meer, m E r w E. What does
Speaker 1: that become. I'm just gonna go with me or vander
Speaker 1: Meer right in, let us know, let me know. Um
Speaker 1: wishing everyone who lost a pet a peaceful, love filled
Speaker 1: fest of season. Losing a loved one is rough. Losing
Speaker 1: a pet is ninety nine point nine nine as bad.
Speaker 1: They stay with us for such short times, But they
Speaker 1: love so hard. It will get better. You will never forget,
Speaker 1: you will learn to remember. That's really sweet. I don't
Speaker 1: think I've mentioned this on the on the show, but
Speaker 1: you know, Eden got a hamster um and it it
Speaker 1: just died. And I didn't realize this, but like that's
Speaker 1: what I know, bro, So I looked it up and
Speaker 1: I realized we just signed up for like a minimum,
Speaker 1: like a ticking time bomb of heartache, because a maximum
Speaker 1: hamster lifespan is like a year and a half or something.
Speaker 1: It's it's two years, I think max for like a
Speaker 1: particular type of hamster and this one maybe a little
Speaker 1: more hardy. Yeah, well this one just yeah, it was
Speaker 1: just it was such a sweet little little guy and
Speaker 1: then it was just belly up. But uh as silver lining.
Speaker 1: It did convince me to like, okay, let's get an
Speaker 1: animal that will last a little honker and uh we
Speaker 1: got a cat, and I think you know, um, I've
Speaker 1: had some pet losses. Pet that I got from you
Speaker 1: actually lost in a sad fashion, maybe the black cat um.
Speaker 1: And I had another cat with my roommate that was
Speaker 1: mainly his cat, and then I moved out and have
Speaker 1: not had a cat. But now welcome to the family.
Speaker 1: Chrom the tuxedo cat, which is my and Eden's cat alone,
Speaker 1: and she's just a delight and I really love her already.
Speaker 1: That's wonderful. I have a tuxedo leave honest, a tuxedo cat. Nice.
Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna do a few more of these.
Speaker 1: I said I was gonna do two more, but now
Speaker 1: I see some of the old favorites and I don't
Speaker 1: want to like leave them out in the cold. Uh,
Speaker 1: let me see here. Meg made her torrens welcome to
Speaker 1: the show, says Happy holidays to all, especially my noodle
Speaker 1: and Boo. Don't forget together. We can make a difference
Speaker 1: in move mountains. Stay safe and healthy everyone. Kristen Glenn
Speaker 1: kissed her. One of her old friends, says Mr Jones.
Speaker 1: It's been a ship year, but there's nothing that happened
Speaker 1: or will happen that you can't make it through. Said
Speaker 1: it before, I'll say it again. You are one of
Speaker 1: the strongest people I know. It's fine, We're fine. Everything
Speaker 1: is fine. And I to quote so that means something.
Speaker 1: I got a little shout out. I wanted to mention
Speaker 1: you said leave on and it rang a bell for me. Uh.
