Hi! Erica here on the last night before vacation. Woohoo! I am excited. Happy Holidays everyone. Thanks by the way, to Bob from New Ganata for bringing by wine for all of us.
7pm: The guys start off talking about some of the things they hate about the holidays. They really hate being taken to your parent's friend's Christmas Party. The worst part of this is the older people asking questions about the radio show. They have never heard the show, but keep asking ridiculous questions they really don't want the answers to. They also always have suggestions for what type of radio that they like. The interesting thing is that apparently, every elderly person that Chris knows, has a Minnesota accent.
They also talk about Christmas Eve Mass. Chris was raised Catholic and is dragged to these any year that he goes home. The service is incredibly long, and Communion takes absolutely forever. The worst, is the guilt trip laid on by his grandmother. Chris has left the church, and she is incredibly upset by that. So, every year, she cries and begs him to reconsider. "Is Chrissy going to come to church this year?"
They are trying to talk about the worst thing to be dragged to on Christmas. But somehow, during this, Brad was talking about the way he was punished as a kid. His dad would make him bring over the paddle, and he would get smacked, hard. This leads to a bunch of calls about the awful way other people were punished. One guy says that his parents would throw him down the stairs. That's just awful.
So, the guys give in and go with punishments, but modify it, what is the worst holiday/birthday punishments you have had. Brad was all dressed-up on his birthday as a small child, and his parents warned him to stay clean. So, as soon as he was out of their sight, he climbs up to the roof, and gets completely dirty. So, of course, Brad is sternly punished on his birthday.
8pm: The guys have been talking about all the Santa stories surrounding Christmas. All the lies your parents tell you, to get around any questions. Like, how is Santa going to find us in the hotel? Also, parents using Santa as a means to make you behave. They say that they can call Santa and tell him you were bad.
We also talk about the Tooth Fairy. When I was little, there was a kid in my elementary school who always swallowed his loose teeth in his sleep. I was so petrified by this, that I would always mess with my loose teeth until they fell out. I was convinced that I would swallow them and they would tear my insides apart.
From here, we go to the Easter bunny. I am so jealous, all the Christian kids got baskets full of candy. You know what we have during this time, Passover. Passover means that you get to eat nothing that takes good for a whole week. That is so unfair. I'm getting more and more bitter by the minute.
We go over the list that Brad made earlier, of all the things that suck about Christmas:
- Candlelight services
- Annoying relative that must always be included
- Trying to buy presents on Christmas Eve/Day
- Any airport visitations
Bob brought each of us a bottle of wine. He also got Chris and Brad each a thing of chocolates filled with Stoli. The thing is, Chris has made it pretty damn clear that he is a recovering alcoholic. Ummm ok.
Duffy from SF comes from a born-again family. He is no longer religious and had a Jewish girlfriend. When he brought her over for Christmas, his aunt leaned over and asked her if the Jews really believe they are the chosen people? How incredibly awkward.
So, before we play "Oh, Holy Night" for the last time, the guys have put together a montage of all the bad Christmas songs. They have not even heard this all the way through yet. So, this should be interesting? Holy crap!! That was really, really long and so full of terribleness and evil.
Ok, so we play "Oh Holy Night" for the last time, give out some tickets, and it is now time for some Friday night replay.
We are out until January 2nd. Thanks everyone and have a wonderful holiday!!!! See you in the new year.
