Hello, ho, ho! Here's an important message from Network Rail for anyone who's travelling by train this Christmas and New Year.

We'll be working over the festive period to make improvements to the railway. Most of the network remains open, but some train services will be affected from Sunday the 25th of December until Monday the 2nd of January.

So, to keep your festive plans on track, please check before you travel at nationalrail.co.uk slash Christmas.

I'm Miosi Solic and I'm the host of Band Splane, a show where we explain cult bands and iconic artists by going deep into their histories and discographies.

We're back with a brand new season at our brand new home, The Ringer Podcast Network, tackling a whole new batch of artists, from grunge gods to power pot pioneers to new metal legends and many, many more.

Listen to new episodes every Thursday, only on Spotify.

Welcome to my Bachelor Party, I'm Julia Lemon. I'm here in person for the first time ever in person. It's Kali Curry. Kali, hi.

Hi, I'm excited to hear what this sounds like.

I think it'll sound better. I just feel like it's a real thrill to a cozy room. You just had a big tease, which is something you have to get off your chest.

Yeah, I don't think we can say anything without addressing that narwhals are real.

Yeah, that's pretty tough for us. I have never. Me neither. It was the most feedback I've ever received.

I've seen more pictures of narwhals and sent articles and information and even people that like I'm like at this point, you have to know I know that it's real.

They still want to send me that they're real and I feel incredibly stupid because we went on for a little bit about how their mythical creatures. So obviously our bad.

But I just wanted to add a few things to that. First of all, I believe Genevieve said they are the unicorn of the ocean. Yeah. So does she know that they're real?

Yeah, also not a great description. No, definitely not. I've learned about narwhal since their task is actually a tooth helps them.

We're not too.

I like the people who were like just FYI want to let you know they live in the Canadian Arctic or the Canadian like they have a Canadian Arctic. But some people were like really trying to shame us. I don't appreciate you.

Well, also I'm like they were acting like it's common knowledge. And I'm like it's not Justin didn't know what it was either. I wouldn't say that Justin is dumb.

Like it's not common knowledge. People don't talk about narwhals. Maybe they're studied now in school. Clearly they are because four year olds know what they are. Well, but they weren't when I was in school. I can guarantee I have never been taught about a narwhal until the last week.

I same here. I also have never really like thought about narwhals. But someone pointed out to me one of the reasons we might think they're mythical is because in the beginning of elf. When will Ferrell's walking from the North Pole to New York. He like see some fake narwhals.

Which I thought was a really kind way of putting it. And I was like, yeah, that is a good point.

No, I thought they were fake because they're used for like the only time I've ever seen a herd of a narwhal is like in the same context of unicorn.
