Happy day before Christmas and welcome to number seven on the TBTL top seven.

Are we going to have some kind of cool sound effect top seven music there?

I'm not even supposed to be here today, man.

Let's try to, you know what, let's try to bring the foul energy of Friday show, which was foul.

Let's not bring the foul energy of Friday show into this week, this holiday week of excellence

at everyone's hearing on this Monday, the 24th of December, it is Christmas Eve and you're

listening to our countdown of the best episodes of TBTL.

Here's what we did.

We asked people to send in their suggestions, their nominations.

It wasn't strictly a voting situation.

It wasn't just whichever got the most votes.

It was who made a compelling argument.

And we sifted through a butt load of different suggestions and requests from people.

And I now have in my hot little hands the seven best shows or at least best argued for

shows in the history of TBTL.

So today we read an email from listener Sam.

Sam says, my nominee for an old TBTL show that you should replay on your Christmas break

is an oldie but goodie.

Where Luke interviews the kissing waitress from Ferrell's ice cream parlor.

Do I really need to explain why this show is a classic?

Yes, you do, Sam.

Okay, that was very clearly stated about the TBTL top seven.
