Frank & Friends Show 0014

It’s the Frank & Friends Show staff Christmas party! Frank shows off some zippered hoodies and a beach towel from the merch store. Kathryn brought the drinks. Frank has pfeffernüsse.

The first drink is a “poinsettia,” made with prosecco and cranberry juice. Kathryn also added some triple sec. Frank has a stash of unopened liquor bottles but Kathryn doesn’t need any of them.

Kathryn took her husband on the Sevierville driving tour and to Anakeesta after having filmed episodes about them. Frank was supposed to take his wife to Anakeesta but hasn’t yet.

Frank’s sisters sent him some drinking glasses engraved with the initials JER. Kathryn suggests that he have an E added to make it say JERE, which is Frank’s wife’s name.

Frank says that Kathryn is his drinking buddy because he consumes more alcohol on-camera with her than he does at any other time. He doesn’t enjoy drinking at parties or events. He prefers to be working at the party or event as the emcee or an entertainer.

Frank saw a long-range forecast predicting especially cold weather in January. He made a sound that reminded Kathryn of the Dramatic Chipmunk meme that became popular on the Internet in 2007. Frank asked if she remembered the Numa Numa Dance video from 2005.

When Frank had dial-up Internet in the mid-90s, his co-workers at KROQ were frustrated that they couldn’t call him. Jimmy Kimmel called the phone company, pretending to be Frank and had call-waiting, which cost extra, added to Frank’s home phone.

Frank has a friend who likes to have a splash of Kentucky bourbon in her eggnog. Frank enjoys plain eggnog from Weigel’s. He tried an eggnog milkshake from Buddy’s Bar-B-Q but would have preferred a stronger eggnog flavor.

Frank is disappointed that Starbucks discontinued their eggnog latte. Frank is surprised to learn that Kathryn never drinks coffee. Frank has a jar of fig jam for Kathryn and her husband.

Kathryn watched some of The Princess Switch movies on Netflix. Frank started to watch a movie called Dear Christmas and told Kathryn to watch it because it’s about a podcaster played by Melissa Joan Hart. They both shut it off after a few minutes. Frank gave up when a character named Chris Massey, played by Jason Priestly, appeared. Frank thought that creating a character whose name sounded like “Christmasy” was not believable. He later realized that an executive at Titanic Museum Attraction is named Chris Massie.

Frank enjoyed Jingle All the Way but didn’t like A Merry Friggin’ Christmas, which was one of the last films starring Robin Williams. Kathryn’s favorite Christmas movie is The Muppet Christmas Carol.

Frank dislikes playing songs about winter weather on the radio in December. He would prefer to save Winter Wonderland and Let It Snow until January and February.

Kathryn sings “O Holy Night” at her parents’ church every Christmas Eve. Frank likes “Angels We Have Heard on High.” Here is the link to Frank’s Spotify Christmas playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/66AWAPdqresHlSwyMxh74Z?si=909e3d2e7d5f4bd4
