On this episode of the official holiday podcast for people who organize meetings with 3 different versions of themselves, all of whom are action heroes, we’re skating on thin ice back to 1993 for a very educational trip to Bluffington to rewatch “Doug’s Christmas Story.”
Admittedly not a very festive episode late in the first official Nicktoon’s run on Nickelodeon, at one point I forgot this was a Christmas episode I was watching for my podcast.
On This Episode:
Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), bitter ousted politician with a microphone and a self-help line.
Greg Lee from “Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?” voices recently ousted former mayor Bob White, and boy, am I glad we recorded this after election week.
Mr. Dink’s last name is apparently an acronym for “Double Income, No Kids,” a joke that went over every 11-year-old’s head.
How much of what we see is what really happened, and how much is Doug embellishing in his journal?
The first and only time Doug’s imaginary alter-egos Race Canyon, Quailman, and Smash Adams appeared on screen at the same time.
Don’t wrap pets in boxes!
Why have we been following Doug’s boring, normal kid adventures, when Porkchop’s apparently offscreen building houses and helping car crash victims walk again?
Those Candles Aren't For Tommy's Birthday! They're For Chanukah!

Happy last-day-of-Chanukah! In this very special episode, join Julia, Thom, and Anthony as they are joined by longtime listener – and frequent guest – April Ryley to cover the classic children’s Chanukah special, A Rugrats Chanukah! Along with Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, and Angelica, the elves learn all about this Jewish holiday not only from Grandpa Boris and Grandpa Shlomo, but also from April herself who discusses many of her family’s personal traditions and just how historically accurate this cartoon episode is. As always when April guest hosts the pod, this is one fun, informative episode you do not want to miss! So light that menorah, bundle up with a blanket near the fire with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoy this episode and the final night of Chanukah, and get excited about the fact that we are only one week away from Christmas!
*Special Note: This episode was originally intended for Patreon, when we were hoping to record another episode with April for our main feed to mark the first night of Hanukkah. As always happens during the most wonderful time of the year, however, time got away from us, and we were never able to record that episode. Wanting to celebrate the Jewish holiday with all of our listeners, however, we decided to share this on our main feed. But this is why you’ll hear references in the recording to this being a Patreon episode and references to another Hanukkah episode that was supposed to drop before this. Thanks for understanding!*

Have yourself a Totally Rad Christmas, Dudes!
Today’s guest is THE Gerry Davilla from A Totally Rad Christmas, and as you can tell right from the beginning, this episode is far out and gnarly and… all those other 1980’s terms I can’t remember. It begins with my very worst impression of one of my very favorite podcasters… and it derails from there… as you’ll hear in the interview, I left all the bloopers in. 🙂
Gerry and I get together and we laughed a lot, we told stories, we talked about movies, about the 80’s, we had some moments of loud laughter and deep thoughts about our families and a little bit about faith, too. Come sit with us by the cozy Christmas fire, and enjoy today’s episode!
I share a story a listener sent me about a special memory she has of her grandpa, and then I read “The Gift of the Magi” by O. Henry and reflect on the story for a few moments.
There’s a lot of fun you won’t want to miss! Later dudes…

Jon bends the rules a bit to talk about his Blind Pick Week selection, the BoJack Horseman Christmas Special: Sabrina’s Christmas Wish (available on Netflix), which is part Christmas special, part episode, part episode within an episode. Can the boys stop repeating jokes from this show long enough to make a decision on whether or not it’s a Christmas Classic? Listen in to find out.
Non-Christmas topics include: saying words wrong, trying to remember Brian’s growing list of nicknames, Jon doing a bit, theme songs, catchphrases, Gary Busey, Aaron Paul, and Bronies.
Anya suggests it is Santa’s cookie addiction that is to blame for his ample tummy. So, Santa goes on a diet. Plus, the novel reveals a payoff to this scene that we didn’t get to see in the final film! Then we talk about the “Elfmade” logo that the elves stamp on their hand-crafted toys (and, of course, was seen on all officially licensed SC:TM merchandise at the time). Join us as we discuss Minute 38 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).

Scarlett and Holli are joined by our friend and Hanukkah expert, Jill Friedman. We learn a lot about Judaism and how Jews celebrate (and don’t celebrate) Hanukkah. We (especially Holli) have a lot of fun seeing this interfaith relationship unfold. This is also just an all-around great movie (according to Holli) starring that one guy from Degrassi and that one girl from Pitch Perfect. We hope you all enjoy this episode about our (okay, just Holli’s) new favorite holiday movie!

On this episode of the official holiday podcast for people who hate all humans — which, in 2020, is most of us — we dance to the beat of our own drum back to 1968 and back into the Rankin/Bass universe for the story of “The Little Drummer Boy.”
On This Episode:
Mike Westfall (@fallwestmike), cross-eyed juggling stereotype.
Brandon Medley (@brandmed), king of the desert showmen, from the Star Weirdos podcast.
This was Romeo Muller’s favorite Christmas special he wrote for Rankin/Bass. Also, that link on Rankin/Bass’s website is from 2003 and looks like it hasn’t been touched since 2003. There are tags in the code, y’all.
Podcast favorite Paul Frees provides the voice of 8 different characters in this special, if you count animal noises. Also, Frees following Mel Blanc and Rich Little in the last two episodes completes a “Man of a Thousand Voices” hat trick!
The song, originally called “Carol of the Drum,” was written more recently than I’d thought, in 1941, and first recorded in 1951 by the Trapp Family Singers, the family that inspired “The Sound of Music.”

Wonder which Harry Potter character deserves their own solo Christmas movie? Or which Christmas movie has the best score/soundtrack? Todd is joined by Anthony, Thom, and Julia of Tis The Podcast, Gerry D of Totally Rad Christmas, Christmas Clatter Blogger Michael Christelman, and April Ryley to debate these questions and more!!!

This year’s ghost story is “Between the Lights” (1912) by E.F. Benson. It’s not technically a Victorian ghost story, and it’s more weird than ghostly. But it’s one of my favorites.

Anthony and I discuss how the show itself is greatly overlooked, how we both had devised Christmas morning plans with our sisters growing up and of course determine whether or not this episode is a Christmas classic!
Be sure to stick around to the end for promos for a pair of terrific Christmas podcasts with Christmas Time in the City and Totally Rad Christmas. Don’t forget to check out Anthony’s podcast and to visit https://www.tisthepodcast.com/
