00:00I hung out with the fam last night, did a little hayride to see some Christmas lights
00:07in the neighborhood, and it was a good time.
00:12And on the hayride, fellas, they would play like Christmas music, you know,
00:17you're running the mill, different songs, different Christmas music.
00:20Getting in the spirit.
00:20Yeah.
00:21And then there was this one particular song came on, and I'm listening to the lyrics,
00:25and I'm just cracking up.
00:26I said, man, I ain't never heard of this song.
00:28This is the first time I've ever heard this song.
00:31I thought maybe I wouldn't be alone.
00:33I'm worried about what this song is.
00:35I mean, everybody's like, you've never heard this song?
00:38Especially all of the adults.
00:39You've never heard this song?
00:40I said, no, is this a common one?
00:42And Courtney was like, Ron.
00:44I was like, what?
00:45I've never heard this song before.
00:48And apparently this was not a Two Americas thing or anything.
00:55No, this was a, Ron, where the hell have you been?
00:57What rock you been?
00:58And I like to call myself a Christmas spirit guy.
01:01I love, I love, I love.
01:03I go home and watch the Christmas movie every night the last several days.
01:09I had never heard of this.
01:13Grandma got, grandma ran over.
01:15Oh, I thought that was it because you were hit.
01:17Grandma got ran over by a reindeer.
01:20What?
01:21I had never heard of this song before in my life.
01:23Have you heard somebody say that before in your life?
01:26No, I've never heard anybody say it before.
01:29Before they was playing it.
01:30And Courtney was like, Ron, I don't think you, Ron, you're going to be on an island alone.
01:35Oh, well, yeah, you are all by you, damn.
01:37Is that a classic?
01:39Yes.
01:41I mean, I don't know if it's framed as a classic, but I've known it since I was a kid.
01:45I mean, since I was old enough to remember lyrics.
01:49Racing DC9 said it's a classic.
01:51I'd never heard of it.
01:53Speaking of grandma got ran over, I was just cracking up.
01:57I was like, whoa.
01:58I think if you polled adults.
02:00We're not in Jingle Bells territory, is it?
02:02Not quite.
02:03I mean, it's not.
02:04But close.
02:05Really?
02:05I think if you polled adults and you said, give me your top three Christmas songs.
02:13I'd never heard this song before in my life.
02:14I believe this would be on a ton of it.
02:15I'd never heard this song.
02:16What would be your top three Christmas songs?
02:18Jingle Bells, obviously, is one of them.
02:20I don't know if Jingle Bells are my top three, man.
02:23No, I'm just, okay, not necessarily yours.
02:25What's that Nat King cold, Joey?
02:27That's the, oh, the Christmas song.
02:29Yeah, Christmas song.
02:30I like Carol of the Bells.
02:33I like, you know, Silent Night's a solid one.
02:37I like, I'm a fan of Feliz Navidad.
02:40Silent Night would be on there.
02:42Drummer Boy.
02:43Like, what do you think the top three of all time?
02:45Jingle Bells, Silent Night, and what?
02:47There's a lot, man.
02:50What's the rock and roll?
02:50This cracked me up.
02:51I said, what are they saying?
02:53When this came on, I was like, what are they saying?
02:55Oh, yeah.
02:56I heard of him.
02:57We just talked about Archie Manning and how he's returning to Texas and maybe pursuing
03:01his theater degree.
03:03I saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus.
03:05That's a good one.
03:06That's a strong one.
03:06No lie, whenever I was in junior high in Baytown, Texas, I was in the theater department,
03:12of course.
03:13All the leading roles.
03:14Surprised.
03:14We did, yeah.
03:16We did a Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer play, and I played Grandma.
03:20There's a movie.
03:21Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
03:22Yeah.
03:22You did what?
03:23I did.
03:23I had the gray wig.
03:25I had an old lady outfit on, and I just got.
03:27You played the old lady?
03:27I got run over a million times.
03:29There wasn't a male part you could play?
03:31It was like a comedic thought behind it.
03:33Oh, you wanted the star role.
03:34You wanted the star role.
03:35Text line coming through.
03:37Like, honest to God, is there anybody who has never heard of this song before?
03:41Zero chance.
03:42Like, I'm looking at some people.
03:48You can't be serious.
03:51Ron lives a sheltered life.
03:53Pretty sure Ron lives under a rock most of the time.
03:57I'm 51, heard it when I was a kid.
03:59That's legit shocking.
04:00I've known this since I was little.
04:03I saw it was a movie.
04:05See, I promise you, I've never heard of it.
04:08I can tell listening to it in old song, never heard of it.
04:12I had never in my life heard of it.
04:16Yeah, this was laid down on an age.
04:17It was literally me and the kids under seven that were sitting there like, and got it.
04:25I think we need to figure out a way to come up with the top three or top five.
04:28Yeah, someone texted in, never heard of that song, must be a white thing, LOL.
04:32No, it's not.
04:33Listen, there were four different Americas on that hayride, and they all looked at me like I was nuts, including my wife.
04:40Like I am right now.
04:42Who is black?
04:47Like you're putting it up there like, all right, if you were going to make a seat, like a playlist of 20 Christmas songs.
05:00Like I'm about to do an event or whatever, and I just need some Christmas music to run.
05:04And you're going to make a playlist of 20 songs.
05:07Is this going to make it?
05:0820, yeah.
05:10Really?
05:11Merry Christmas.
05:13Look, I don't know, man.
05:14Really?
05:14I don't know.
05:16Silver bells.
05:17I mean, the texture, while I think they're wrong in the two Americas thing, I do doubt that that particular Christmas song got a ton of run.
05:27I doubt that very seriously.
05:30Or anywhere.
05:33Well, no, I think it has to be specific.
05:38And a lot of maybe some black homes that may not get as much run.
05:43But that's what I'm saying, though.
05:45I think it's, and when I say hood, I don't mean necessarily mean black.
05:49I mean any, like in, I don't know, I just don't, like I was not, my family was not, like beyond the ones I would hear,
06:02the couple of times that I'd go to church or the couple at school or whatever, like we weren't a big sit around and deal,
06:07sit around and let's introduce y'all to a bunch of Christmas songs.
06:10I got to believe there's some folks, whether they're black, Hispanic, white, I got to believe there's some folks like that.
06:17I heard every song that was played until we arrived to, I said, they didn't say this, I literally, I said, they said this broad didn't ran over, got, they ran over a reindeer.
06:30Over and over.
06:31Yes.
06:31Over and over.
06:33Yeah.
06:33And then, and I'm listening, I'm like, oh, she killed it.
06:37I thought she made it, just hit it and injured it.
06:39No, she killed it.
06:40Rocking around the Christmas tree.
06:41Number one on the billboard was Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer in 1983, 1984, and 1985, surpassing White Christmas.
06:52Must have really died off it.
06:55Joy to the world.
06:57Yeah, I mean, top 20.
06:58Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
06:59Top 20, are you sure?
07:01Like, I mean, I.
07:02Jingle Bell Rock.
07:03Easily often considered a top 100 song around the holidays in the United States of America.
07:08Who sang that joint?
07:10It's got to be a country group, right?
07:12Yeah.
07:12It's got to be.
07:13Elmo something.
07:14Yeah.
07:15Elmo.
07:16Yeah, not the Sesame Street guy.
07:19Yeah.
07:20I'm sorry, folks.
07:21I didn't, I've wondered.
07:22I did at least get one person who texted and said, I've never heard that song before.
07:26That's wild.
07:27That was one.
07:27I have never, because I'm like, like someone said,
07:30dang, Ron, it's like you're un-American.
07:33You haven't heard that song.
07:34Like, again, like, I don't think this is Silent Night.
07:37Communist.
07:38Like, I don't think.
07:39Oh, he's number one on the billboard for three years, man.
07:41That's pretty strong.
07:42I mean, hell, I'm old.
07:44It was before I was, when I was born.
07:45Hell, I mean.
07:46I mean, that was a, that was.
07:47Before I was born, too.
07:48I mean, I mean, I.
07:49Yeah, I mean, that would probably, if you just, you know me, you know me, I don't.
07:53Christmas.
07:53I don't play the movie, movies and actors and songs and artists.
07:57If you walked in and said, Clint, give me five Christmas songs, that would be on my list.
08:03Because.
08:04Because.
08:05Chance.
08:06Because, I mean, the stick, the name sticks out.
08:08You know what I mean?
08:10Like the whole.
08:11The name sticks out.
08:12Yeah.
08:12Oh, it stuck out when I heard the.
08:13As soon as I heard it.
08:14There's violence.
08:16I said, wow, that's interesting.
08:17I never heard of that thing before.
08:19Never.
