Hello and welcome to the In the Penn podcast, a podcast about relievers, part of the

Piturless Podcast Network. My name is Jake Crumpler, and as always, I'm joined by Rick Graham.

Rick, how you doing? It's finally December. We can finally listen to Christmas music.

Sure.

I mean,

my fiance has been listening to Christmas music since November first.

But yeah,

I'm not,

you know,

the Christmas music.

I used to work in retail back in the day.

You get a hit over the head by,

you know,

Mariah Carey and all the Christmas tunes that,

you know, are popular. So, um, you just got to find the unpopular ones. Like, uh, that's true.

Yeah. Some of the bands I listen to like group love and the, and the shins. I mean, even like

Weezer and the killers, like they have Christmas albums, obviously a lot different, but they do give you a little spice, a little difference from the regular stuff.

I personally like pentatonic and I wait until December 1st and then I only listen to Christmas music for a month.

So then I do not want to listen to it the rest of the year.

And then it comes around to December and I'm ready again.

Yeah, that's kind of the goal.

That's the plan, I guess.
