Stocking Stuffers & Childhood Scars
from Hoot’n & Holler’n With Matt Mitchell · host Matt Mitchell
The boys kick off a chaotic Christmas episode by debating decorations, dodging imaginary squirrels in the studio, and reminiscing about the chaotic Rankin & Bass classics that shaped their childhoods. From beloved VHS tapes and questionable 80s choir memories to heated takes on Christmas music—Mariah Carey, Sinatra, Elvis, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and the tragic saga of “Christmas Shoes”—no seasonal soundtrack is safe. Then the nostalgia train really leaves the station as everyone shares childhood Christmas stories: begging adults to hurry up and open presents, sneaking peeks at gifts, getting tricked by parents, and receiving some truly wild gifts (including a framed chicken photo and silky “banana hammock” underwear). The crew also laments the decline of old-school Christmas light displays and lovingly roasts today’s LED-synced neighborhood décor. Check out our merch: https://www.hootnandhollern.com/
