Oh, ho, ho, and Merry Christmas, and welcome to the ULTIED EPISODE of the Jim Cordett experience.

No, it may not be Christmas day, but it's closer goddamn enough, and it's the last time we're going to talk to you before Christmas.

So bear with me on this.

And today, on the Christmas episode of the Cultcast, we've got letters, we've got Christmas poems, we've got an update on my Twitter and drive through evisceration of Fatty McFatfuck and Impact Wrestling's twitchy product, and so much more.

Join me in this very festive occasion, a festivist for the rest of us, ladies and gentlemen, he's Hawaiian, Brian, the podcasting lion, the King of the Arcadian Vanguard podcast network, Mr. Koos to use swammy's papi, the post office playboy, the proprietor of the French toast, shiphoe, the great Brian last shadow.

Oh, Jim, a pleasure to be here once again, and your hat, what they get in your hat, it's a shiphoe.

I will stick it in my hand, but I also want to wish everyone a happy quanza out there listening to the Jim Cordett experience this week, happy quanz, everyone.

And when is quanza?

I don't know, I think it's this, I think Christmas and quanza usually at the end, Hanuk is usually earlier in the month.

When is festivists?

There's an actual date, isn't there an actual date for festivists? I always see people announce like on Twitter or Facebook.

Today's festivist, and they put a picture of George Costanza's dad with a poll, and I'm thinking, was there an actual date on the show, and I just don't remember it?

Winter solstice is December 21st, by the way, so we're close to that. Happy solstice, everybody.

The days will get longer. It'll be nice.

My days couldn't get any longer. I don't know about you, pal.

Oh, we got to talk about the, at the top of the program here, the news story from last week on the experience, the Midnight Express books, and you know,

Brian, I'm going to admit something I usually don't admit to. I fucked up here, and I'm about to tell you why we just take this ride with me, but I fucked up.

Because, as I mentioned, everybody last week, you know, I'd seen Dennis Connry and Bobby Eaton in Nashville at our 35th anniversary reunion at the Nashville Comic Con.

And Dennis, and of course, with his battle with cancer, we hadn't seen him in four or five years, and so he hadn't had a chance to even ask this question, but he had some Midnight Express books left in his closet, and these things have become coveted and sought after prized collector's items, which is

a moral of the story every time I do something like this, buy it, because it's not like collector plates. My shit doesn't go down. It appreciates in value. But anyway, so he brought the Midnight Express books to Nashville and me and Bobby and Dennis, all three signed them.

And I knew that the people would, you know, would be appreciative because they I'm always asked about the Midnight Express books. I'm going to put them on sale, but I'm not going to be a sucker about this because they are valuable.

Somebody tweeted last week, there's one in the half price books in Lexington in the collectible section for $100 just signed by me, right?
