St. Patrick’s Day 2021
/

We’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and the return of spring with a special podcast episode. We discuss Leprechaun’s Christmas Gold (1981) and briefly compare and contrast it to the Leprechaun horror series. Also: telling your friends to “go,” backing into parking spots, and allowing your kids to get hit in the head with flying vegetables.

The background music includes songs from Altan’s The Red Crow, Bing Crosby, Dennis Day, and the Rankin Bass film. We’ll be back for Leon Day!

Episode 25 - Christmas Pickles
/

Episode 25?  That’s a quarter century…  hard to believe.

This episode we focus on the wonderful tradition of the Christmas Pickle.

First up we discuss the history of the tradition, does it date back as far as the days of the real St Nicholas, is it from the American civil war or was it just the clever idea of some marketing executive who had too many pickle ornaments left over?   Who knows?  Not me, I’ll tell you that for nothing.

Next up we listen to some of the ‘wonderful’ songs about Christmas Pickles.  Here’s some links if you want to have a listen:
La Legende de Saint Nicolas

The Carol of the Christmas Pickle

A Pickle for my  Christmas Tree

Grandma’s Christmas Pickle

Then we have a chat with Rhiannon Cizon from Berrien County Historical Association and she tells us about the Berrien Springs Pickle Festival.
Here’s a link:

This week’s recommendation is ‘I’m Not Complaining with Robin and Juno’  the brand new podcast from my two young daughters.  You can hear the whole first episode at the end of the show.

Minute 50 - Pitchin’ a No-Hitter For the Yankees
/

Santa leaves the reindeer on the rooftop to go talk to Joe.  Joe doesn’t believe the old man is who he says he is. Plus: Yankees no-hitters; cinematic tooth fairies; wondering how common the usage of the word “wino” is; and a surprisingly dark scene from the book that we were glad didn’t make it into the movie! Join us as we discuss Minute 50 of Santa Claus: The Movie (1985).

Ep 59 - Uncanny X-Men #143 (w/ Dave and Bryan)
/

What’s up, dudes? The Caped Podcasters themselves join me to talk 1981’s Uncanny X-Men #143 by Chris Claremont and John Byrne! Mistletoe and N’Garai! Hat could possibly go wrong?! Maybe it’s an “Alien” rip-off or maybe it’s just an exercise by the writers to see how far they can push it! Either way, it’s got tons of exposition! Check it out

The Delusion You're Trying To Cure Is Called "Christmas". (Community)
/

Happy Monday, Christmas fanatics! This week, the elves are joined by one of our favorite frequent guests – and friends of the pod – Gerry D. of Totally Rad Christmas to discuss the four episodes of the cult classic TV comedy, Community! For those of you who want to join along and watch at home, the episodes we talk about are the following:

  • Season 1, Episode 12 – Comparative Religion
  • Season 2, Episode 11 – Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas
  • Season 3, Episode 10 – Regional Holiday Music
  • Season 4, Episode 10 – Intro to Knots

Listen as the elves talk histories with the show, discuss how problematic Chevy Chase is (and rectify a mistake they made in the Arrested Development episode by also discussing how problematic Jeffrey Tambor and David Cross are), marvel over how much heart this show actually has and how the majority of the cast has gone on to be pretty huge stars in their own individual rights, and laugh over a plethora of quotes. Also featuring musical interludes between each episode discussion, this is one of elves’ favorite episodes yet, ranking right up their with the likes of The Office and Friends ones.

Also discussed this episode – the major difference about the way the DC and Marvel universes were set up in terms of the comics (though, Anthony mistakenly said the first issue of The Avengers was published before the first issue of Justice League) and, sadly and criminally overlooked in our discussion of the cast, any mention of Alison Brie! (Though, if you want to hear what the elves think of her as an actress, you can go back to last year’s Happiest Season episode in which they discuss her at length!) Trust us when we say, this is one episode you definitely do not want to miss, and one that is guaranteed to put you in the Christmas mood! So enjoy, and make sure to keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next chapter of Another Christmas Story as read to you by the always incredible listener, guest, and friend of the show, April Ryley!

What Happens at the North Pole After Christmas
/

 

What happens at the North Pole after Christmas is not something that gets talked about much. There are no songs about it, no movies or television specials. Heck, people hardly ask about it.

But I would tell you that the time right after Christmas is a very important time.

In this episode of the North Pole Podcast elves Frank and Crash talk about what happens immediately after he and Santa return to the North Pole. It is an amazing time of reflection and it has a huge impact on the Christmas to come.

This is an informative and fun episode to kick off the new year in following Santa.

19. Home Improvement: Desperately Seeking Willow
/

Happy March and Happy early St. Patrick’s Day! We are back with another month and another holiday to celebrate as we count down to the ‘Ber months later this year.

This week we are going back to the land of Home Improvement to cover ‘Desperately Seeking Willow’ from Season 7 of the show. Matt discusses a classic joke about a man from Nantucket, talks about how Tim has some Ric Flair in him in this episode and, as always, determines whether or not this should be deemed a holiday classic.

Pour yourself a green beer, get a plate of corned beef and cabbage and enjoy this week’s episode!

Fireside Chat Preview - Featuring Charlyn Lewis!
/

This week, life got in the way for the elves – and between COVID vaccine side-effects and mental health issues, they couldn’t find time to record in time for this week’s episode. Not wanting to leave you hanging, however, we’ve decided to share one of our Patreon-Exclusive “Fireside Chat” segments with y’all! In our “Fireside Chats”, one or more of the Tis the Podcast elves sit down by a crackling Christmas fire with one of our listeners to learn a little bit about them, talk about the holiday season, and discuss Christmas sensibilities amongst other things! In this episode, they chat with a listener oft-mentioned on the main feed of our show, Charlyn Lewis! So settle in with your favorite holiday drink and enjoy this fun, heartfelt episode that will make you want Charlyn Lewis to appear on the show again, and again, and again!

And don’t worry – our episode in which we cover the first three Christmas episodes of Home Improvement is still coming, and will drop two Monday’s from now! (Due to the fact that Gerry D. of Totally Rad Christmas agreed ages ago to join us in covering the Community holiday episodes, and having that recording scheduled for a while, that episode will be recording and dropping before our first Home Improvement one now!) In the meantime, for all of you non-patrons out there, if you liked this episode and want to hear more like this, consider subscribing to our Patreon page at Patreon.com/TisThePodcast where – for as little as a dollar per month – you can get whole bonus length episodes like this!

Also, speaking of Gerry D., make sure to keep your eyes on your podcast feeds this upcoming Thursday for the next chapter of Another Christmas Story which the totally rad host will be reading to y’all!
