Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hey something, you know what,we should just address this right away.
I want to address this and justget it out, so we're good.
We have been getting a lot ofemails. So we told you we filmed
our Imagine Theater commercial yesterday, whichis usually what's the word precursor. Yeah,
it's usually the precursor to the holidayseason, because you know that runs
at all the Imagined theaters between Thanksgivingand New Year's And we're also like just

(00:22):
any time the beginning of November isa pretty good indication that something fun is
coming. I like to think filmingour commercial is the precursor to the holiday
She thank you for your insight.That said, we're getting a lot of
emails and phone calls asking when theChristmas music will start. And I've heard

(00:43):
some really valid points from people too, because people have said, you know,
you've played Christmas music before when itwas seventy degrees out and it's snowed,
why aren't you playing the Christmas music? But that's not how we that's
it that way, it's just vibe. It's a feeling. And also as
long as we're talking about how determineit for the people who will once it
starts, then those people want tobe heard yea about Oh my god,

(01:06):
I can't believe, because no oneever made a rule that you couldn't listen
to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. That'sa made up thing. But we've also
never played Christmas music before Halloween,so that's not a thing that's ever happened
in the twenty plus years i've readback. No, right, so since
Halloween was just yesterday, you werenever gonna hear it, you know before
then, we wouldn't do that twodays ago or yeah, I don't know
what's going on. Well, butisn't it funny how they always say perception

(01:30):
is reality. That is true.Perception is reality. Yeah, because people
literally now think that you can't hearChristmas music before Thanksgiving because people started saying
it, there's not Thanksgiving music.No, it's not like it is that
like one song and didn't Adam Sadlersing it? Were not encroaching on that
genre. Here's the one time ofyear we're going to acknowledge some of the

(01:52):
horrifying things, not horrfying, butjust some of the the more like excessive
comments we get, Like my favoriteis always why won't you let people enjoy
one holiday? At a time.In our country, here in America,
you can do whatever you want.No one's stopping you from enjoying the month
of Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving.I love the food. I love corn

(02:13):
of coopia? Is that what itis? The corn? I can't imagine.
Yeah, I can't imagine preparing foryour Thanksgiving. You're cooking, you're
doing all that stuff, you're baking, and you're usually getting into that at
least a week before. If you'redoing the whole thing and having people over
or even going somewhere. I can'timagine doing all of that without listening to

(02:34):
Christmas music. They actually go handin hand. It's why I always agree
to be on Thanksgiving morning on TVand radio. I know you guys,
I just say, hey, letthe girls have off. I just do.
I just talk a couple of time, because you know why, because
it's fun, because it's thanks youlove the Christmas music on Thanksgiving. But
anyway, a couple of things beingpassive, aggressive and telling us, well,
looks like I'll see you on thetwenty sixth. There's no need to

(02:57):
write that anymore. There's not.It's mean. You're basically saying that you
love us. But because we changedour outfit, you're dumping us and we
don't like that. And also,if we're going to be passive aggressive with
each other, you're you're in theyou're in the minority. Because our listeners
double from a million to two,well yeah, listen, if people they're

(03:20):
about to get to two millions.If people who left WNIC in droves on
the day we flipped the all Christmaschances are we wouldn't do it any right,
but now we's become tradition. Goahead. Well, by the way,
if you are telling us that youwill be back on December twenty sixth,
then I don't think you're as bigof a fan of the show as
you think you are, because nothingin our show changes except for the music.

(03:45):
That's it. Our show is theexact same as it always has been.
By the way, I got alot of email yesterday. I got
a lot of messages about your Christmasbooty call comment. Oh really, yes,
that was people people enjoyed that.No, when you were when you
were talking no positive, when youwere talking about the people that only that
never listen to us any other timeof year, but they come at Christmas

(04:09):
and then they're gone. Uh Andwe're there Christmas booty call. All of
these messages that I got were frompeople that were solid listeners year round.
Yeah. I love the Christmas music, but they're here all the time,
so they're not the booty call.Yeah, and we refer to that because
sometimes we get Hi Gang love NPRevery day. But once you flip the

(04:30):
Christmas I am yours till December twentysix, right, I said, Well,
we feel a little used then becausewe tend to have a little fun
with the Christmas music in between.So maybe you don't call us gang Yeah,
maybe you can drop fresh air andis that what it's called breakfast?
Right? All right? So whenwill the Christmas flip happen? Sooner than

(04:51):
later? How's that? I thinkthat's fair. That's fair. Yeah.
By the way, we're all gonnabe in studio tomorrow for Blockhead New Kids
on the Block, which we're excitedabout. I'm not even gonna be on
TV maybe just a little bit.
