With Christmas fast approaching, we recorded our final podcast episode of the year today.
The PodSquad doesn’t quite catch the brilliance of Turkey Lurkey Time. No matter what you think of the lyrics, you will surely be blown away by Donna McKechnie (the tall “office worker” in this performance on the 1969 Tony Awards) and her dancing skills:
We didn’t get too far into our ‘cast when Santa Justin arrived with all sorts of menu items to try:

We each got to sample four different pizzas …

… plus Sidewinder Fries and Firecracker Shrimp:

Matt provides a Firecracker update. Here’s Painter Joe working on one of cars:

And what about that HoliWood Nights theme?

Here’s the TPED video:

And it wouldn’t be a podcast without The Coaster Crew and their Big Green Foot:

Just in case you can’t picture that Big Clock in Mrs. Klaus’ Kitchen, here’s a snap of Leah counting down the days till Christmas:

We’ve enjoyed putting this podcast together for you and would love your feedback! Please post comments here on the HoliBlog or tweet them, using the hashtag #HoWoPo.
Merry Christmas to all!
Quit the podcast? Are you kidding! This is the best!
Awwww … thank you!
I am starting a petition to get Turkey Lurkey Time added to one of shows at Hoosier Theater next summer, complete with the dance.
FYI on the Turkey Lurkey lyrics: In the Broadway show, the office girls make up a song to sing at the office party… that’s why the lyrics are purposely amateurish… one of those “lost in translation” moments when they did it on the Tonys… Thanks for linking to it!
