  • Funny Farm (w/ Danny Davila)
    Apr 29 2024

    What’s up, dudes? It's the 250th episode! So, we'll open up Rad Santa's Mail Fanny Pack and answer some listener questions! Then special guest Danny Davila and I dive into the Christmas-adjacent movie "Funny Farm!" Starring Chevy Chase and Madolyn Smith, it's a squirrel out of water story! Er...fish out of water!

    Andy and Elizabeth Farmer leave the big city to live in the quaint little town of Red Bud. Andy has aspirations to be a novelist. Misadventures ensue! First, their movers get lost and arrive late. Then the Farmers discover a dead body in their garden. Snakes, runaway dogs, and angry fishing buddies soon after threaten their idyllic dream. Elizabeth writes and publishes a children's book giving Andy feelings of resentment and failure. Friction between the couple inevitably ensues. When Andy, in a moment of desperation, submits Elizabeth's manuscript as his own to his publisher, she leaves him. The couple bribe the town to help them sell their house at Christmas time. However, Andy and Elizabeth fall in love with the town and each other when they see how beautiful and friendly the town can actually be.

    Ducks? Yep. Kitchen payphones? Got 'em. Lamb fries? Only if a record can be broken! So grab your yellow dog, climb into your runaway mail truck, and listen to this episode on "Funny Farm!"

  • ‘80s Wrestling pt3 (w/ The Wrestling Bros)
    Apr 23 2024

    What’s up, dudes? It's all about WWF Prime Time Wrestling Christmas 1986, battle royale style with Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa, CM Chuck from Just Another Friday Night, Joe from Now Watch This, Manny from Feliz Christmas, Merry Navidad, and CJ from Christmas Sessions! We talk Bobby the Brain and Gorilla! We dive into Hogan and Savage! We body slam Junkyard Dog and Harley Race! This episode has it all!

    Airing December 23, 1986, the matches begin with Jimmy Jack Funk taking on Blackjack Mulligan, who defeats Funk with little effort. Iron Mike Sharpe batted Special Delivery Jones—no, not S.D. Kluger from “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town! Jones takes Sharpe with an atomic drop. “What a Christmas present for S.D. Jones!”

    Meanwhile Bobby and Gorilla argue about presents. Means Gene spoke with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat and Jesse Ventura interviewed Andre the Giant. Harley Race defeated Pedro Morales and retained his crown. Subsequently, Dick The Rebel Slater stuns Steve Lombardi with a suplex. As well, Dino Bravo beat Corporal Kirchner.

    Junkyard Dog rammed Adrian Adonis into a turnbuckle to get out of a sleeper. Both men are tossed out of the ring, but JD gets back in before the count and wins! Finally, World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan collided with the monstrous Hercules Hernandez. Hogan, seemingly in trouble, comes back off the ropes with a leg drop to pin and win!

    Stuffed gorilla gifts? Yep. Gold phone presents? Uh huh. Blackjack Mulligan’s wagon of fertilizer?!?! What?!?? So grab your belt, get on the ropes, and backflip to this episode on Prime Time Wrestling Christmas 1986!
