Ep 189 - Recess - 'Yes, Mikey, Santa Does Shave' & Rocko's Modern Life - 'Can't Squeeze Cheer From A Cheese Log'

Goosebuds

Oh Come, All Ye Goosebuddies! Your hosts Chad Quandt, Paul Ritchey, and Kevin Cole revisit two 90s cartoon holiday episodes. First we check out ABC's Recess's politically correct 'Yes, Mikey, Santa Does Shave' guest starring James Earl Jones and Michael McKean in which Chad's cartoon proxy Mikey challenges 3rd Street to prove Santa is real.

We then shift to the more subversive with Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life's holiday episode 'Can't Squeeze Cheer From a Cheese Log!' otherwise known as Rocko's Modern Christmas. Rocko's hoping friends come by for the holidays, including some mysterious elves next door. Is Santa dead? Are Elves keeping the legend alive like the Bat Family does in Batman's absence? Unsure, but a cloud poops snow and Mr. Bigfoot gets capped in the knee. Pretty good.

We also talk about Sonic the Hedgehog canon and Chad's love for the female southern brawler archetype. Enjoy and happy holidays!
