It’s that time of year again - it’s the Silly Mundane Things holiday episode! Or at least Patrick and Becky attempt a holiday themed episode just in time for the days after the new year ha ha. They get caught up talking the new Taylor albums, folklore and evermore, although ‘tis the season right? So maybe it is holiday themed! They talk holiday movies from classics like It’s a Wonderful Life, Elf (and a digression into Will Ferrell), to Hallmark movies. And they end on a discussion of the show, One Night Only: The Best of Broadway, and a special end discussion featuring a Christmas commercial which may or may not make Patrick cry.

⁃ We had no reviews at the time of recording but found out we just got our first one! Thank you so much to our first reviewer!!

Show note corrections:

We described Taylor’s song champagne as maybe fun in our confusion of only having only listened for a day at that time. It is most definitely not so much a fun song as captivatingly devastating!

The band Taylor collaborated with was The Chicks (they’re no longer known as the Dixie Chicks)

Chicago is the longest running American musical, and second longest overall (not the longest overall)

Jagged Little Pill was released 25 years ago

Swiss Chalet is indeed Canadian!
