The nation's ending this weekend. And not because of the absurd decisions of our leaders and elected officials. But because the ghost of Ice Ages past decided to drop by and kick things up a notch.

Or down a notch.

Whichever direction the notch needs to go to bring on insanely cold temperatures, re-goshdarn-donkulous snowfall, and wecked chill ice.

So anyway. We talk about stuff, too.

Ryan and Josh debate the merits of 'tacky' "family" 'restaurants' (yes everything is intentionally in quotes because these kinds of restaurants are credibly none of these things including restuarants) like Twin Peaks and Hooters.

Plus, we go down some memory lane to the old times in the long long ago of our shared Orlando history.

AND! Read a book under the covers with a flashlight! It'll make you feel like a kid again!

ALSO! Link talk! Halo talk! Alllllll the video game talk like usual!

You know 'em, you love 'em, here's your MORNING RADIO TBD crew!

STOP! YOU'RE ABOUT TO BREAK YOUR WHOLE ASS OVEN!

Damn, demonitized before we even got through the opening blurb. Moving on.

Is your oven about to be destroyed by your careless cleaning? Is your garbage disposal two seconds from oblivion because of a decadent deodorization? It turns out your kitchen is dark and full of terrors, and you could be destroying it one appliance at a time. Listen close, and we just might tell you how to get through.

It's not that dramatic, folks, but we gotta do something for the clicks over here.

We read Dollar General Headquarters Google reviews, and ho boy, this one is a RIDE!

PLUS! Bio-medicine breakthroughs! We science!

All this and MORE! On Morning Radio, TBD!

Oh yeah, you thought you were gonna get an easy start to the year with nice simple transitions from topic to topic?

YOU WERE WRONG!

Because Morning Radio, TBD is coming out of the gates hot and heeeaaavvy with some hot'n'heavy takes about how many birds there are in the 12 days of Christmas, how modern radio SUCKS, and more Batman talk than you can shake a stick at.

You better believe it, all of these are absolutely original thought leader ideas that no one has ever discussed before and you're totally gonna have your MIND BLOWN OPEN to start the new year.

It's also possible we've treaded some of this ground before and if you're reading this far into the notes you're acitvely deciding if you want to put an hour into our nonsense, and as the blurb guy, the one who is here to get you all excited and amped I say... listen to it. It's a good one.

Will your mind be blown? Eh. But is that really what you need today? Ask yourself. In your heart of hearts. Do you need your mind blown every single day? Do you. ........do you?

Ha, of course you don't. So settle in for some nice amiable conversation, some fun topics, some good post holidays nonsense, and just, like... don't worry so much. About everything.

Woosah.

Ask yourself a simple Christmas question.

What is 'The Nutcracker' about?

Recite the plot. Of 'The Nutcracker'. Right now. Do it.

Do it.

You can't, can you? Because deep down, you have absolutely no idea what the famous Russian ballet that takes place in Nuremberg, Germany is actually even about! You know there's a Nutcracker! And maybe some sugar plum fairies! MAYBE you know there's a rat king! But do you ACTUALLY KNOW THE STORY?

NO! NO ONE DOES!

So, anyway, we talk about that this week.

Lots of other things too. Some happy things, some sad things.

RIP Rob Reiner, one of the greatest film makers of all time.

Also, our most frequent celebrity guest does not make an appearance this episode, so you get one without any mentions of the witch with an enviable toolkit.

Witch in this context means actual witch, it's a whole pun, see if you can work it out.

Bonus points if you understood that.

Its Morning Radio, TBD!

Josh and the Fitz go hard on the ASMR this morning!....... FOR THE FIRST TWO MINUTES.

After that, its basically just a normal episode, so if your earholes aren't prepared for close mic talking, don't worry, they drop it pretty quick.

TODAY! ON THE PROGRAM!

Marco's Pizza: what the hell is this business model?! Why are you only having DoorDash and not your own Delivery drivers?! YOU. ARE. ON. BLAST.

Also, if you're a 35+ that has any memory of early internet and the great flash animations of the past- there is an easter egg around the midway point of this episode where Gulstaff, Sorceror of Light makes a guest appearance. You won't want to miss it.

Also, ALSO. GODZILLA SAVES CHRISTMAS! YOU DON'T WANNA MISS THIS!

yes the half rhyme was intentional, no you can't unread it.

This one is a straight waltz down memory lane into the mystical lands of Calvin and Hobbes, the one and sole greatest newspaper cartoon to ever grace the pages of print.

Stupendous Man? We got it. Spaceman Spiff? We got it. The G.R.O.S.S. club? We got it. We got it ALL here today.

AND FOR TODAY ONLY ITS ALL HALF OFF THANKS TO CRAZY KHONSU'S MOONLIGHT MADNESS SALE DOWN AT PHRUGAL PHARAOH'S!

We also talk about electric eels for a while. And its possible this episode got attacked by an electric eel because Ryan's audio becomes absolutely unforgivable at one point, so just kinda bear with us.

You're getting a real whopper of a scatterchart on this one. I mean we really go all over the place. Politics. Comics. The human timeline. Its all here.

Buckle up, kids, we're so back.

Did you catch the subtle Set, or Seth, joke in there? As in the Egyptian god of Chaos and Storms? Also reverred in Forgotten Realms as Umberlee, the B*tch Queen of the Seas? Have we gone too far with this? We've gone too far with this.

So anyway. We talk about Crystal Pepsi, which is just... I mean, it's peak content, guys. THIS is what everyone has been asking for.

LOTS of Halo talk in this one. Like all the way through. If it's not your jam, maybe skip around a bit and see if you can find some other delicious tidbits.

There's a pretty good conversation in there about our anxious dreams. Want some anxious dreams? We'll give you anxious dreams.
