Questions I can answer ‘yes” or “no” with a Ding.

Do you miss drinking a pot of coffee a day?

Do you find it difficult to not talk out loud to yourself?

Do you wish you’d paid more attention to American Sign Language in the 6th grade at Johnson Middle School?

Is it true that your cousin is Bob Piano of Axis Mundi Records?

Should people go download his music on Spotify ASAP?

Were you shocked to find out that the thing that Bob Piano and Cindy Harrington have most in common is an incredibly passionate interest in 90 Day Fiancee?

Can we do a deep dive podcast on that show co-hosted by Cindy Harrington and Bob Piano?

Cards against humanity style answers to questions - Gavin can only use phrases he’s already used to answer the following questions:

What is the recurring joke in Mike Birbiglia’s Netflix special the new one? (I saved your best friend’s life)

What’s the first thing you thought of the day after surgery? (Am I allowed to Drive today?)

What’s the second thing you thought of? (Want me to go to Trader Joe’s?)

All I want for Christmas is ... non Christmas, Christmas movies

The Best Christmas Music Playlist plus Christmas Movies that are non Christmas movies : 2017 Edition 

Disclaimer - Andrew Walks around a lot when he’s a guest — lots of times he’ll eat or take sips of home made Gatorade while on the pod — so be ready for anything.

Andrew Patterson - Do you have a rant? 

Top songs in the world right now on Spotify global top 50 - The top 5 are rockstar by post Malone, Havana by camila cabella, new rules by dua lipa, wolves by Selena Gomez, perfect (duet) by ed sheeran & Beyoncé, and number 7 is perfect by ed sheeran solo. 

 

Guess what song is #6 ? All I want for Christmas is you by Mariah Carey - the next Christmas song is all the way down at #18- which is last Christmas by Wham!

 

So here’s my question- are these songs up this high cuz they’re somehow timeless classics - or are they being listened too ironically?

 

The “look at me” guy in a wedding party. 

 

He excels as an usher, owns the dance floor, and by the after party he realizes that coming solo didn’t help him meet any girls, so now he’s looking for a fight 

 

Mike Birbiglia Dennis eck story is literally why I had zero sympathy for him with David price fiasco this year

 

Carl Ray - Non Christmas movies based during Christmas (who is the other guy in Wham!)

Home alone - honorable mention. Because the premise could’ve worked without Christmas scenario (Home alone 2 not so much)

Honorable mention better off dead with John cusack. Also Cusack and Billy Bob Thornton in the 2005 dark comedy “the ice harvest” 

Lot of horror Christmas movies - from our friends at we are movie geeks dot com 

Santa’s Slay - Santa is wrestler Goldberg

1974’s Black Christmas 

1984’s banned Silent Night, Deadly Night 

There’s one called Elves 

Gary Busey in the gingerbread man 

1997’s Jack Frost 

1980’s Christmas evil

Rocky 4 - he fights in Moscow on Christmas Day - and he ends the Cold War - rocky 4 is the winner

Trading places - is perfect - premise is not Christmas dependent - it’s a phenomenal 80s Comedy. 

Mr & Mrs Smith w/ Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (great supporting work from Vince Vaughn in that one) 

Ghost Busters 2

Catch me if you can - with Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio

Lethal Weapon, Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, Eyes Wide Shut (yikes)

Diehard counts - die hard 2 doesn’t count (die hard two is a Christmas movie- they had a choice and choose Christmas again)
