Ep. 70: BACKKLASH OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY 2024 feat. Kellock [@Kellockx]

GM BRO, and Merry Christmas! Poolhouse welcomes his dear online pal, Canadian nationalist sidekick, and backklash super-fan Kellock to the program–as we add one more honorific to Kellock’s CV: Backklash Christmas Secretary 2024. Assuming the role from beloved outgoing Backklash Christmas Secretary 2023, Ms. Cassandra aka truth_enjoyer, Kellock levels up the office with a bold proposal: what if we moved Christmas Day?Given how late in the season this holiday episode is dropping, it may not be such a bad idea!But before we get deep into the backklash office holiday party festivities, Poolhouse and his absolutely darling guest dive into the year in bops: who was GIVING this year? Who needs to be TAKEN AWAY? Kellock drops a controversial take for his artist of the year, but Poolhouse, not one to be outdone, ups the ante with an even more polarizing choice for BACKKLASH MAN OF THE YEAR 2024. Poolhouse and Kellock, committed to making the yuletide as gay as humanly possible, also delve into some personal housewives-adjacent lore, and Poolie reveals a glimpse of his secret origins, which are intimately tied a reactionary group of rabid Bravo fans & detractors known as The Thunderdome. PLUS dissecting the natue of Canadian celebrity, we receive Christmas greetings from a few of your favorite backklash all-stars, adult contemporary revivalism, Old Spaghetti Factory nationalism, and Poolhouse finally gets to the bottom of whether Anne of Green Gables would have been better off in one of those residential schools for native children.Follow Kellock https://x.com/kellockxSpecial thank you & best Christmas wishes to ALL of our fabulous guests of HERE COMES THE BACKKLASH 2024, our loyal remote viewing backklashista audience members, and our special callers for this ep:Cassandra aka truth_enjoyer (Backklash Christmas Secretary 2023)Poppy (future guest, and the official voxmodel for DJ POOLHOUSE ‘Klub Klassixx’ series)Meadow (on the keys)Biz (Man of Mystery)King BasilDaddy Slum Queen Spendy O.
