 What's up, dudes? This week I've got Jack Ford from the Total Christmas Podcast talking Pee-Wee Herman! Yep, it's the Pee-Wee's Playhouse Christmas Special, and it's what we always wanted! We really break it down and talk all about the cameos and special guests. So join us along with Cowboy Curtis, Miss Yvonne, the King of Cartoons, Ms. Rene, Jambi, Chairry, and all the playhouse friends in wishing Pee-Wee a Merry Christmas! Oh, Frankie and Annette are there too!

It’s a variety show, Pee-wee Herman style! Pee-wee introduces celebrity guests at his playhouse as he awaits Santa’s visit. Pee-wee makes a list for Santa Claus as long as a CVS receipt, teaches Little Richard how to ice skate, goes for a sleigh ride with Magic Johnson, commands Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello to make Christmas cards, receives a long phone call from Dinah Shore, even has more musical fun with k.d. lang, the Del Rubio Triplettes and Charo! Finally, Big Red—Santa, that is—arrives and announces that Pee-wee's Christmas list was so big, he didn't have enough presents for all the children of the world. Luckily, Pee-wee has a big heart and all’s well that ends well.

Singing triplets? Check. Celebrity slaves making Christmas crafts? Yep. A room made entirely of fruitcake? Spoilers! So grab your magic screen, hop in your Christmas dot sleigh, and ride into this episode all about Pee-wee Herman!

 What’s up, dudes? It was December 24th on Hollis Ave in the dark! I’ve got Anthony Caruso from ‘Tis the Podcast with me to talk about the Run DMC classic "Christmas in Hollis"! We get into all of it: lascivious Santa samples, lyrical eggs, synthesized breakdowns, etc.

When Bill Adler asked Run-DMC to contribute to A Very Special Christmas, they refused. The album was a promotional fundraising effort by various artists to benefit the Special Olympics. Adler, the director of publicity for Rush Productions which managed Run-DMC, then gave the band the idea for "Christmas in Hollis." They changed their minds and agreed to be on the album. Rick Rubin helped produce the track, which was also released as a single by A&M in 1987. The track samples Clarence Carter's 1968 Christmas song "Back Door Santa." The musical interlude features classic songs "Frosty the Snowman", "Jingle Bells", and "Joy to the World." The title refers, of course, to Hollis, Queens, the New York City neighborhood where the group were raised.

The music video for "Christmas in Hollis" takes place at the North Pole and in Hollis. At the end of the video, Santa flies away with a dog pulling his sled. Or is it an ill reindeer? The video was directed by Michael Holman with cinematography by Mark Richardson, both NYU film students at the time, and features a cameo appearance by Bannah McDaniels, DMC's adoptive mother. "Christmas in Hollis" went on to win Rolling Stone's Best Video of the Year award in 1987, beating out Michael Jackson's "Bad" directed by Martin Scorsese."

Rhymes so loud, I'm proud you hear it? Check. Jack Frost chillin'? Yep. Is the time now and the place here? Definitely! So grab Santa's wallet, mail it back, and dig in to this episode!
