Sponsor Announcer (2:56)

Donny Baker (Character) (2:56)

If you're gonna accuse me of something, at least give me full cred. Blistered, it looks like bubble wrap.

Donny Baker (Character) (3:01)

Oh, that is it. I am not gonna have him color in my Property of Donny Baker tattoo.

Donny Baker (Character) (3:08)

You know what? Why do you waste money on tattoos when the hickeys are free, baby?

Donny Baker (Character) (3:12)

Sponsor Announcer (3:56)

You asked for it, you got it. More Bob and Tom.

Edwin McCain (4:00)

This is Bob and Tom.

Pat Godwin (4:01)

Extra.

Tom Griswold (4:02)

I mentioned that with the case. He's there with his guitar. Who has a more expensive guitar, Pat or Edward?

Edwin McCain (4:08)

He's got Johnny Cashwood from his farm, right? Yeah. This one.

Tom Griswold (4:12)

This one's I Want a Price. I'm Josh Arnold of the I Hate Steven Singer Sidekick chair. And there's Tom AI.

Bob Kevoian (4:22)

Edwin McCain likes coming on our show. He's a great singer, songwriter. We never let him do anything, but we just talked to him. He's been on the road doing all kinds of cool stuff just at a big charity event. And we're gonna once again, not let him play his fine guitar. Last time I saw Edwin playing, he was on stage at a beautiful outdoor arena and saying his great stuff. It was terrific. And at one point he goes, okay, for those of you that don't know who I am, this next one you'll probably remember. And you went into.

Edwin McCain (4:47)

I think I introduced that as the only reason I'm not your favorite pizza delivery guy.

Bob Kevoian (4:53)

That's such a great song. Do we have time for the song from Now? I understand this is a sing along. We have to participate.

Edwin McCain (4:59)

Yeah, you're going to participate. We got it all coached up during the break.

Bob Kevoian (5:02)

Okay, I'm ready to go.

Tom Griswold (5:03)

All right.

Edwin McCain (5:04)

I came home from tour and walked in to my house where everything was just as it was, except for there was an addition of a Chihuahua that I was not consulted on. And all the little traders were gathered around him. His name's Mandito. He speaks Spanish. So I was. For years, just every year, I was coming up with new ways that maybe Bandito could go somewhere else, you know, and, you know, like building great horned owl boxes out in the backyard.

Tom Griswold (5:39)

Yes.

Edwin McCain (5:39)

Potato cannon. And then I, you know, I was thwarted at every. I. I took it. I was walking out of the house with him in the little kennel one night, and my wife was like, where are you going with him? I was like, we're going coyote hunting. Put him back. I was like, all right. And Then Christmas rolled around and I was like, I have. I have a perfect idea. So that's where this song came from. Here we go. I know that I should be in a good mood I should have a Christmas attitude But I just stepped in a tiny pile of poo Santa needs a Christmas Chihuahua no, he doesn't yes, he does no, he doesn't yes, he does no, he doesn't I'm sure Santa's tired of all the treats Milk and cookies on every street I bet he'd love a little bubble eyed treat Santa needs a Christmas Chihuahua no, he doesn't yes, he does no, he doesn't yes.

Edwin McCain (Singing) (6:44)

He does no, he doesn't he loves.

Edwin McCain (6:47)

Me, he hates me and I never know when I give him bacon and belly scratches but he still won't be my friend he will love it up in the North Pole he shivers anyway so he might as well be cold Singing this song will never get old Santa needs Christmas Chihuahua no, he doesn't yes, he does no, he doesn't yes, he does no, he doesn't this is the last verse. He'll leave lots of presents before he's gone Tiny little paw prints in the snowy lawn Santa le yamara un poquito rat on Santa needs a Christmas to Wa.

Tom Griswold (7:47)

Wa.

Edwin McCain (7:54)

No, I don't.

Bob Kevoian (7:57)

Edwin McCain, ladies and gentlemen. That was great. I think this could be. That could be a hit.

Tom Griswold (8:01)

Very nice. Yes.

Bob Kevoian (8:02)

You mentioned that you did a Christmas album that no one likes.

Edwin McCain (8:05)

It was summarily rejected by everyone.

Tom Griswold (8:08)

And.

Edwin McCain (8:09)

And. And at the time I was like, I guess we shouldn't put it out. And now it's like a. I'm planting my flag of defiance. I was like, you know what? You can hate it if you want to. I like my Christmas.

Pat Godwin (8:19)

So we can. We get our hands on.

Edwin McCain (8:20)

Yeah. It's on Spotify, so you can stream it all you want to.

Pat Godwin (8:23)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (8:24)

Do you want to sample of it here?

Edwin McCain (8:26)

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Bob Kevoian (8:28)

This is this. This the Frosty the Snowman song.

Edwin McCain (8:32)

Yeah.

Pat Godwin (8:32)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (8:32)

Okay. So this will be familiar with it reimagined. Okay.

Tom Griswold (8:35)

Okay.

Bob Kevoian (8:35)

Is there a band with you in this?

Edwin McCain (8:37)

Oh, yeah. It's Ivan Neville and Eddie Bears and a bunch of my guys and.

Bob Kevoian (8:42)

Yeah. Okay, here we go. Let's give it a listen and be kind.

Pat Godwin (8:45)

Write a record.

Bob Kevoian (8:46)

Okay, here we go. Ra. Okay, here we.

Edwin McCain (Singing) (8:59)

A Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul With a corn cup pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal A Frosty the Snowman was a fairy tale they say he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.

Bob Kevoian (9:35)

The.

Edwin McCain (Singing) (9:35)

Snowman was alive as he could be and the children say he could laugh and play Just the same as you.

Edwin McCain (9:43)

And me that is great.

Pat Godwin (9:45)

It is great.

Bob Kevoian (9:46)

You know, I'm. I'm a huge horn guy. Take that.

Edwin McCain (9:50)

No, it's. It's got the whole. It's got the whole New Orleans funk thing.

Donny Baker (Character) (9:54)

You said people.

Tom Griswold (9:55)

People don't like it.

Edwin McCain (9:56)

No, my friends, I get that.

Tom Griswold (9:58)

But the question I.

Edwin McCain (10:03)

Like. So I think people are kind of used to me singing, you know, staring in my belly button, singing acoustic music. And then all of a sudden it's like, what is this?

Tom Griswold (10:10)

No, it's good, dude. Yeah, it's really good.

Edwin McCain (10:14)

And so now I'm like, my daughter loves Michael Buble. And I'm like, I put my record on and she'll put it back. Buble back on. And I got this.

Pat Godwin (10:21)

I'm.

Edwin McCain (10:22)

I'm battling for my daughter's attention with Michael Buble.

Bob Kevoian (10:26)

Oh, yeah. I said to my 9 year old the other day, you know, you know, Harley said you're. I'm the coolest dad at the school. Right. And she just looks someone. No. Okay. I guess, you know, you've been on stage in front of thousands of people and your kids aren't impressed.

Edwin McCain (10:44)

They couldn't care any less. Oh, gosh. I pulled up to the middle school when I was dropping my daughter off, and of course, I was on a first name basis with the principal because the other two had already been through there. And so I pulled up and I was like, hey, Jordan, Jordan. This one's the good one. This one's the good one. And she walked right past him and went, no promises.

Bob Kevoian (11:08)

We're Speaking with Edwin McCain, a very fine singer songwriter. Is the whole Christmas album that kind of New Orleans funk?

Edwin McCain (11:14)

Yeah, it's a whole on. Full on New Orleans take on. On. On Christmas.

Bob Kevoian (11:19)

Did you do any of the heavier serious ones?

Edwin McCain (11:21)

No, it's all light hearted.

Pat Godwin (11:23)

All right.

Edwin McCain (11:24)

Yeah, the whole thing.

Tom Griswold (11:25)

What's it called?

Edwin McCain (11:25)

It's I. It's called Merry Christmas, baby.

Tom Griswold (11:28)

Nice.

Bob Kevoian (11:28)

And it has. But no one's put it out technically.

Edwin McCain (11:31)

Well, it's out. Yeah. It's on Spotify. It's everything. But we, We. We were not. We have no professional endorsements. This is a purely. This is. I've got. I went rogue. And this is an independent.

Bob Kevoian (11:44)

Not when you. Have you done a Christmas show or you do any of them live.

Sponsor Announcer (11:48)

So we had.

Edwin McCain (11:49)

We've been talking about doing a big Christmas show and like doing Dr. It all up and doing a whole big band thing. So that's been in conversation and I've gotten, you know, four venues that want to do it, but it's a huge. Yeah, I mean, we're talking about 20 pieces on stage and then the full on lighting and all the costuming and all that stuff. So that, that is. That is something we've been talking about, but I'm extremely lazy, so we'll see if that actually ever comes to pass.

Bob Kevoian (12:18)

What if you. If you had to pick your top five Christmas songs that you like to hear? Not necessarily you'd like to cover. Do you have five that you really like?

Edwin McCain (12:26)

Top five? Well, I mean, you know, if you put on the Bing Crosby Christmas record that entire. Just whatever. For whatever reason. I grew up with that one. That's the.

Bob Kevoian (12:39)

How about the newer stuff?

Edwin McCain (12:40)

That's the standard for me, though, the Bing.

Chris Vanvliet (12:42)

I mean, I just.

Edwin McCain (12:42)

I listened to that Bing Crosby Christmas record every time because you can tell on the first side of the record, Bing's like, he's on it. He got there. And then the second half of the record, he's kind of half in the bag and the Sweeney Sisters are kind of picking up the slack. And it's my favorite thing because you can feel the progression of the day because I promise you, they recorded that album in one day. Like he walked. He being rolled in there at 9am and walked out at 4.

Bob Kevoian (13:13)

You always read about when they record these records, it's never at Christmas time.

Edwin McCain (13:16)

Oh, no. When we made it, it was July. Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (13:18)

So they. And sometimes you'll read about. Then they'll be in Los Angeles and they'll bring in fake snow and trees just to get everybody kind of in the mood.

Edwin McCain (13:25)

We didn't have that kind of budget.

Bob Kevoian (13:27)

Pat, what are your favorite Christmas. I love that one. This Christmas, the Donny Hathaway.

Edwin McCain (13:33)

Mine is. Yeah, that's a good one. I like the Fairy Tale in New.

Bob Kevoian (13:36)

York by the Pogues.

Tom Griswold (13:37)

That's great.

Bob Kevoian (13:38)

That's my favorite.

Sponsor Announcer (13:39)

Yeah.

Tom Griswold (13:39)

Really Not a standard, but no. Excellent.

Pat Godwin (13:42)

Etta James, Santa Baby Can't Be Beat.

Tom Griswold (13:44)

Mine is Nat King Cole.

Pat Godwin (13:46)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (13:47)

Yeah, those are all good.

Tom Griswold (13:48)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (13:48)

Yeah. Jeffrey?

Tom Griswold (13:51)

Oh, I. I don't know. Do you like Christmas music?

Edwin McCain (13:57)

No.

Donny Baker (Character) (13:58)

You don't care for.

Tom Griswold (13:59)

Yeah, I could do without it.

Bob Kevoian (14:00)

Really?

Tom Griswold (14:00)

I love it.

Pat Godwin (14:01)

Really?

Edwin McCain (14:01)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (14:02)

You're kidding me.

Edwin McCain (14:02)

You watch those YouTube videos of the Grinch? Scaring little Kids, don't you? Yeah, you love those.

Tom Griswold (14:08)

I love Christmas. I just. I. I don't like that music.

Edwin McCain (14:11)

Huh.

Tom Griswold (14:12)

It was driving me nuts in the day.

Bob Kevoian (14:15)

Well, if you work in a store, obviously.

Edwin McCain (14:16)

Yeah.

Tom Griswold (14:17)

You get to hear you real quick. I want to give Pat Godwin some props. So Spotify every year releases like they tell you what your top listeners were.

Pat Godwin (14:28)

Right.

Tom Griswold (14:29)

Who you listen to the most. And a listener posted his top artist was Pat Godwin. This year on their Spotify. Number two, Head East.

Bob Kevoian (14:41)

Oh. All right.

Tom Griswold (14:43)

Number three, Afroman. And number four was Crystal Gayle.

Bob Kevoian (14:48)

Crystal Gale.

Edwin McCain (14:51)

I was about to say, that guy wins the widest range of music.

Tom Griswold (14:55)

That's amazing.

Bob Kevoian (14:56)

But also, you gotta love a guy like that because he embraces his own opinions.

Tom Griswold (15:00)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (15:01)

And we live in a culture where everyone's afraid to go, well, I really like this. Oh, no, you're not supposed to. So, you know, that's a great list.

Tom Griswold (15:08)

Yeah. So Pat was number one on this guy's Spotify. Crystal Gail Wright, Natural Woman.

Bob Kevoian (15:14)

No, that was Carol.

Tom Griswold (15:17)

Okay. Crystal Gail, who am I thinking?

Edwin McCain (15:20)

Long hair to the floor.

Bob Kevoian (15:22)

She has the song Donut make my brown eyes blue. And she's what she's related to. Was she like Loretta Lynn's Yes.

Tom Griswold (15:31)

Sister?

Bob Kevoian (15:32)

Yeah, she's. Does she still have hair down to the floor?

Edwin McCain (15:34)

Well, I don't know.

Pat Godwin (15:35)

I don't know.

Tom Griswold (15:36)

So I had her confused with Carol King. Okay.

Bob Kevoian (15:38)

Yeah.

Pat Godwin (15:39)

So my daughter did that, Ava, who's 27. And they said her listener age based on her playlist. 84.

Tom Griswold (15:47)

84.

Pat Godwin (15:50)

Because 84. I asked her about it. I go, why is it 84? And she said, I have a playlist that I play every single morning that has all these old standards, Frank Sinatra and everything. So the Spotify people think that she's like 84.

Bob Kevoian (16:05)

Huh. Wow.

Pat Godwin (16:07)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (16:07)

Interesting enough. I bet if we did it for this group, the youngest, they'd think Chick would be Chick.

Pat Godwin (16:12)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (16:12)

He listens to more new music than any of us.

Tom Griswold (16:15)

Yeah.

Bob Kevoian (16:15)

I'd be in there in the high 90s.

Tom Griswold (16:20)

Mine just says dead.

Pat Godwin (16:23)

I'm the only.

Tom Griswold (16:24)

I never do that.

Pat Godwin (16:25)

I'm not on Spotify.

Tom Griswold (16:26)

Oh, okay. So, yeah, I've never done the. I know it's a big social media thing you post.

Pat Godwin (16:30)

Yeah, right.

Edwin McCain (16:31)

But.

Bob Kevoian (16:31)

But it might be Paul.

Edwin McCain (16:33)

Paul Cathan for you.

Bob Kevoian (16:34)

Right.

Tom Griswold (16:34)

Paul Cawthon, maybe.

Edwin McCain (16:36)

Wrong.

Bob Kevoian (16:37)

Oh, your favorite artist.

Tom Griswold (16:38)

Yeah. Maybe Whiskey Myers. I don't know. I'd have. Maybe I'll do it just to see.

Pat Godwin (16:41)

But I am an Apple Music. I just downloaded the Christmas album and I'm gonna listen to it later today.

Edwin McCain (16:46)

I make no guarantees.

Bob Kevoian (16:48)

Okay, so we'll get you to play one of your songs at some point this morning. I know you love coming on shows. I went in the show. I don't get to play anything.

Tom Griswold (16:55)

Maybe you could do. I'll eat.

Edwin McCain (17:00)

I'm happy with that. With planting my flag with Christmas Chihuahua. So that was awesome.

Tom Griswold (17:05)

You'll do. I'll eat and like it.

Bob Kevoian (17:09)

We were talking about. There's a great commercial right now. I'm sure you've seen it because you watch football. The one with the three old ladies on the bench. And they order through Amazon. It's a commercial for Amazon. And they order. They order the seats for the. And they go. They show them sledding down the hill. And they're playing in the background. What is it? They're playing In My Life by John Lennon. It's not the Beatles. It's an instrumental version. It's really sweet. But I. One of. One of these days, someone's going to approach you about one of your big songs and say, hey, let's make this a commercial.

Edwin McCain (17:38)

Listen, for years, I've been daring the automakers. Like, they're missing their big chance. Like, greatest van of your life. I mean, and I'm right there. I mean, they're. They're. I'm almost out of the minivan phase, but I could still do this commercial. Like, you picture it. Like, the sliding door slides open, and there I am singing greatest van of your life.

Bob Kevoian (18:01)

Or you could do a hot dog.

Edwin McCain (18:02)

Are you kidding me? Oh, beef. Yeah, there you go. And once you get to 55. Shame's not a component in my life.

Pat Godwin (18:13)

I'll.

Edwin McCain (18:13)

Whatever, Bring it on. I'll wear it. I'll wear a tutu. We can sit. We can do this. Toyota, Ford, Dodge.

Tom Griswold (18:21)

Dignity be damned.

Edwin McCain (18:24)

I got teenagers. They're so expensive to everybody. Everybody that has teenagers. It doesn't matter what humiliating thing you're doing for money. Everybody on Earth goes, yeah, you had to do that.

Bob Kevoian (18:35)

I remember we were. We were talking with Peter Frampton once, and he had just released. I forget. It was like a. A quadraphonic something remix of. Of his great live album. And he goes, hey, look, I got kids at college.

Edwin McCain (18:50)

And, like, it's never easy. Like, my. My daughter just had a flat tire. Oh, she had a flat tire. She said she hit a pothole. Well, I said, I'm getting all this on the phone. The guy at the shop is like, if she hit a pothole. I mean, that's the biggest pothole in the history. The rim's got a dent. She bent the a arm. It needs new struts. I was like, okay. I was like, hey, honey, will you go take a picture of that pothole for me? Because.
