Closer to Christmas

Wondering what to buy for the billionaire in your life? The Christmas Cousins have you covered.

 

This week, Cousin Chad and Cousin Seth are joined by everyone’s favorite (and fabulously wealthy) Cousin Lee for a deep dive into Oprah’s Favorite Things 2025. From $400 slippers to gold-plated everything, we’re walking through Oprah’s closet — metaphorically, of course (the security guards wouldn’t let us in).

 

We’re separating the “Wow!” from the “Why?” and finding the perfect gift for everyone — billionaires, millionaires, and even a few “hundred-aires.”

 

Expect laughs, luxury, and light roasting as we crown our own “Christmas Cousins Approved” favorites.

What’s up, dudes? Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House and Tim Babb from Can’t Wait for Christmas are with me to talk all about the genius that is Al Yankovic! Even Caleb Cote from Insert Reference Here pops in to dive into Weird Al “Christmas at Ground Zero!”

The song is a throwback to the Phil Spector “wall of sound” era, full of bari sax and keyboard layers. Of course, in Al fashion, he copies the style to perfection. Harmonically, it’s a simple I-vi-ii-V chord progression reminiscent of the 1960s.

Lyrically, the song is awash in Cold War nuclear disaster tropes. Yankovic’s label, Scotti Brothers Records, insisted that he record a Christmas album. However, after Yankovic presented the song to his label, they relented, because it was “a little different from what they were expecting.” After the song was written and recorded, Yankovic wanted to release the song as a commercial single, but Scotti Bros. refused. Eventually, Scotti Bros. released the song as a promotional single and then commercially.

Sleigh bells ringing? Check. Trimming the tree? Uh huh. Atom bombs dropping? Only if it creates new mutants! So load your gun and suck and cover to this episode on Weird Al “Christmas at Ground Zero!”

” The pumpkins on the tree were not mere pumpkins.”

Sorry for the tardiness of this episode, but Robert is still in the Halloween spirit in November, so let’s pull a Simpsons Treehouse of Horror-style delay and explore the classic adaptation of the Ray Bradbury novella, The Halloween Tree

Join Robert as he breaks down the 1993 special, how the story dwells in the true meaning of Halloween, how the special almost got made by Chuck Jones in the 1960s, how a Ray Bradbury superfan got it back on track and how Disneyland would eventully instal thier own Halloween tree.

It’s the most caffeinated time of the year — the red cups are back, the peppermint is flowing, and Starbucks has officially declared it’s Christmas season.

 

Cousin Chad and Cousin Seth bravely step into the holiday battlefield armed with nothing but caffeine tolerance and questionable judgment to try every new Starbucks holiday drink.

 

Are they merry and bright — or just overhyped and overpriced?

From the Chestnut Praline to whatever “Toasted Sugar Cookie” thing they’ve concocted this year, we’ll sip, rate, and roast our way through the entire 2025 Starbucks holiday menu.

 

It’s cozy. It’s chaotic. It’s way too much sugar.

But someone had to do it — so we did.

Happy Tuesday! This week on the TGI Podcast, we’re heading to the Belcher household for one wild Thanksgiving celebration.

We’re talking about the classic episode “An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal,” where Bob’s holiday dreams get derailed when Mr. Fischoeder ropes the family into pretending to be his family for Thanksgiving dinner.

We break down why this episode has become a Thanksgiving TV staple, share our favorite quotes, and decide if it deserves a “you got it dude” or a “no way Jose!”

What’s up, dudes? Remember looking in your stocking and finding a cool coloring book of your favorite characters? Charlie Ague from Closer to Christmas and Ague Designs and Alamo City Santa Jeremy Phelps  are here with me to break them down! Luckily, there’s a great website Retro Reprints with hundreds of coloring and activity books to help with our quest.

We look through several books by Random House and Golden published in the ‘80s. For example, the Snorks, or as some remember them, underwater Smurfs, engage in holiday activities throughout each page of their book. The Shirt Tales frolic and play amid the yuletide festivities in their own book as well. Spider-Man and the Muppets join the fun in their respective books.

As we dig into each book, we examine which pages are easiest to color. We also look at the level of detail poured into the Muppet Babies book, and occasionally how certain pages are boring. Some pages are devoid of characters and feature would-be Christmas presents. Yay!

Wuzzles? Check. Ewoks? Got ‘em. Twinkles the elf? Twinkles the elf?!?! So grab your box of 64 crayons, sharpen your colored pencils, and doodle along to this episode on ‘80s Christmas coloring books!
