Welcome to episode 108 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, for my special Pro Wrestling Spectacular, I’m pitting the 1970s Christmas albums of pro wrestlers the Destroyer and Thunder Sugiyama against one another in order to determine which deserves the title of the Christmas World Heavyweight Champion.

This was a fun episode for me. I hope you enjoyed both wrestlers’ albums as much as I did. I watched a ton of wrestling when I was younger and went to the closed-circuit broadcasts of Wrestlemanias 3-6, watching all the action on the jumbo screens at Dayton’s Hara Arena. One of my fondest memories from my early teenage years was going to a TV taping to see Hulk Hogan during the height of Hulkamania. I’ve also been lucky enough to meet a bunch of wrestlers, including Koko B. Ware, Rob Van Dam, Taz, and newly-inducted WWE Hall of Famer, Paul Heyman. I don’t follow it quite like I used to, but I still enjoy seeing all the big events.

This episode was a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. I’ve been doing research for it off and on for about two years. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep track of all the blogs and articles I read. There were several things I wanted to double-check, but I couldn’t find where I’d read them originally so I had to leave them out. As promised in the episode, here’s Thunder Sugiyama’s debut single, “Crossroads.” I’m also including a match from each of them, both of which feature their mutual friend, Abdullah the Butcher.

Thunder Sugiyama – Crossroads

10.12.1975 – PWF United States Heavyweight title: The Destroyer (c) vs Abdullah The Butcher

12.11.1972 – Abdullah The Butcher/Ciclon Negro vs Masio Koma/Thunder Sugiyama 2 of 3 Falls

April is Jazz Awareness month, so join me next time for the 1998 album, “Jingle Jazz.” It has an unassuming and generic cover, but some of the finest Christmas Jazz you’re likely to hear. Then join me on the 25th for the 1986 children’s book and album, “Superman Santa.” It’s a lot of fun and one you won’t want to miss.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Remember, I’ve added a button to my Ko-fi page. If you’d like to support me one cup of coffee at a time, a donation is only $3. I’ve also opened a Redbubble store. I only have a couple designs up, but keep an eye on it as I’ll be trying to add more. Half of any proceeds or donations received will be donated to support the people of Ukraine, while the rest will be used to purchase new Japanese Christmas music to review for future episodes. You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. And if you get a chance, leave me a review on iTunes. Thanks!

In today’s episode I read a shorter short story by humorist Robert Benchley entitled “Christmas Afternoon (Done in the Manner, if not the Spirit, of Dickens)”. It’s a funny little vignette describing a chaotic Christmas Afternoon in the style of Charles Dickens. I hope you enjoy the story today!

“So what resolution should we make for the new year? It’s to let God know that you have the guts and the will to do it alone.”

Now back after a needed hiatus, Robert went on a New Years Cruise for his honeymoon… realizing that it made sense for him to cover the Irwin Allen produced disaster movie, The Poseidon Adventure. Because the ugliest Christmas tree ends up saving lives, this counts as holiday-related. Of course, does this make it an “Almost Christmas” movie?

Along with looking into the history of disaster movies and how Irwin Allen found the story, Robert also goes into his Honeymoon, comparing how cruising has changed since 1972, when The Poseidon Adventure was released.

Happy Monday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy April 1st! Can you believe we’re a quarter of the way through the year already? We sure can’t! Yet, here we are – one major holiday closer to the most wonderful time of the year!

This week, the elves kick off “Animation/Children’s Movie Month” by covering the 2023, Disney Plus original movie, “Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever“! The elves’ reactions fall all over the place with this specific film, and we’d bet you’ll be surprised about which elf feels what  – and no, the feelings expressed are not part of an April Fool’s Day prank! Regardless of how your hosts feel, however, they have a blast discussing this new holiday movie amongst plenty of other things!

So, settle back, relax, and enjoy this extremely festive episode! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! ❤️🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Welcome to episode 107 of Holly Jolly X’masu! In this episode, I talk about the 2008 album, “Whistle Christmas,” by Whistle Man.

I hope you liked “Whistle Christmas!” as much as I do. Like I said in the episode, this is definitely better than my other April Fools offerings. I’ve mentioned before that I tend to listen to these albums at least a dozen times while researching and writing an episode. That can be a struggle occasionally, but it really wasn’t a problem this time around. There are only one or two songs I ever skipped while listening to it, and a few that I’ve added to my regular J-X’mas playlist.

Join me back here next week for my special, double-length Pro Wrestling Spectacular. Wrestlemania LV is this year, and to coincide with that, I’ll be covering the 1970s Christmas albums from pro wrestlers the Destroyer and Thunder Sugiyama. I have a poll running, so click here to listen to samples from each of the albums and vote on which wrestler you feel deserves to be crowned the Christmas Heavyweight Champion. This listen in to hear the results.

As always, any feedback on this episode would be appreciated. If have any suggestions, or if you’d like to recommend a song or album for a future episode, drop me a line and let me know.

Happy Sunday, Christmas Fanatics! And Happy Easter! We hope the Easter Bunny was good to all of you and that you have a blessed day full of food, family, and friends!

To celebrate the occasion, please enjoy this special bonus episode in which Julia and Anthony (sans Thom, who had prior commitments the evening this was recorded!) travel back to the trippy world of Rankin/Bass for the first time in almost *two years* to discuss their 1971 holiday special, “Here Comes Petter Cottontail“! Even by Rankin/Bass standards, this one is bizarre – but that makes the conversation between your two hosts all the more hilarious as they try to make sense of it.

So, after enjoying your Easter hams and all of the chocolate bunnies and eggs you can stomach, settle in and enjoy this holiday treat! And get excited – because we’re another major milestone closer to Christmas! As always, thanks for your love and support, y’all! And again: Happy Easter! ❤️🐇🐥🥚🍫🧺🎅🏻🎄🎁 🦌🦉⛄️🔔🚂 🤶🏻 🎀 ❄️

Hello you beautiful people!

It’s a packed show and to begin our resident barman Bob Baker combined St Patrick’s Day and Christmas to discuss the British word ‘bloke’ in Do You Hear What I Hear.

Then it’s The Quiz,  I do pretty well this time, so see if you can beat me.

After the joke I discuss the version of A Christmas Carol that I saw at the theatre this year.  It was a youth production and they’d added a modern twist.

The it’s Spread A Smile Of Joy and Bob Baker talks about how you can make doing good deeds a family event.

Chrismas Morning

Once upon a time, in the whimsical world of the Christmas Cousins Podcast, we embarked on a journey with Cousin Seth to explore the essence of each season and one of the ways we did that was through taste testing.

 

Little did we know that these tasting escapades would become a fan favorite, all thanks to Seth’s unpredictable reactions that range from absolute love to downright disgust.

 

Do you remember when we first introduced Seth to the enchanting world of pumpkin-spiced overnight oats? His reaction was priceless to say the least!

 

Then came the memorable moment when he took his inaugural sip of eggnog, with resulting in abject disgust.

 

And, more recently, who can forget the time Seth encountered a Cadbury cream egg for the first time? It was a rollercoaster of emotions that left us all in stitches!

 

Now, in our latest adventure, we’re diving headfirst into the sugary realm of Peeps marshmallows, a classic Easter and springtime delight.

 

With new flavors like party cake, cotton candy, and even Dr. Pepper, we can’t wait to witness Seth’s taste buds go on yet another wild ride. Will he declare newfound love for these fluffy treats, or will he have a reaction that rivals his past encounters?

 

Tune in to find out and enjoy the laughter, surprises, and maybe a few unexpected twists along the way!

Audience Question: What’s your favorite unconventional Easter or springtime treat that you enjoy indulging in during the season?

Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are all hunky dory as co-step-dads after the original Daddy’s Home, so what better way to test that familial bond than by bringing in their own dads (John Lithgow and Mel Gibson, respectively) to help celebrate the holidays and/or completely ruin them?

In this episode, we talk about all manner of weird garbage, from the weird logistics of Airbnb, to the complicated legacy of “Do They Know It’s Christmas”, imagining fake movies made up for this movie, the phenomenon of going to the movies on Christmas Day, and a whole lot more!
