Mellowmas 2013
Jason: Our readers probably are aware that the holiday season starts much earlier for us. Sometimes even earlier than it starts at your local drug store. Jeff: Very true. I…
Jeff: Ha ha! YES! It’s December 23rd. I’m virtually trembling with anticipation. Jason: SO CLOSE. SO GODDAMN CLOSE. Jeff: Mellowmas has made me yearn for Christmas like I haven’t since…
Jeff: So close, Jason. So close and yet so far. My big bottle of bourbon is almost empty. Jason: As is my juice box. Jeff: I don’t know if I…
Jason: Well, Jeff, Christmas is almost here. Jeff: Thank God. Every year, I write “MELLOWMAS IS OVER” on a little piece of paper, I put it in a box, and…
Jeff: Oh, goddammit. Jason: What? What happened? Jeff: Nothing, I guess. I just hate shoveling snow. Jason: At least the snow you’re shoveling is white — here in Queens, it’s…
Jason: Jeff! I’m so glad you’re here. I just had the worst dream. Jeff: I’m pretty sure we’re living that dream, but I’ll bite: What happened? Jason: I dreamed that…
Jason: You know what I love? A press release for an album that includes the word “vomits.” Jeff: Okay, that’s all I needed to hear. See you on December 26!…
Jeff: So, Jason. Christmas music. Jason: I feel like however I respond to this is going to be the wrong response, but okay. Yes. Christmas music. Jeff: I’m sitting here…
Jason: You know, the funniest thing happened to me today — and of course, by “funniest,” I mean “most tragic.” Jeff: You got a letter from the government saying Christmas…
Jeff: Ah, one day closer to the 25th. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! Soon, we will be free once more from the tyranny of…
Jason: Quick, Jeff: tell me your favorite Christmas record of all time. Jeff: Oh, man. If you’d asked me that during the first couple years of Mellowmas, I would have…
Jeff: Jason, baby? Jason: I can’t tell if you’re trying to sweet-talk me or you’re singing a version of “Santa Baby.” Either way, I’m skeptical. Jeff: Jason, baby, you know…
Jeff: You know what we haven’t had enough of this Mellowmas, Jason? Jason: Silence? Jeff: Yes! And also tough, authentic GRIT. Jason: Uh, I think you’re forgetting about our friends…
Jason: Hey Jeff, guess how many songs I have in my holiday collection on iTunes? Jeff: 600,000? Jason: Not quite. I’m up to 2,797. Funny, I thought the number was…
Jeff: Hey, you’re still here! Jason: Don’t act surprised. You chained me to the radiator, remember? Black Snake Mellowmas. Jeff: That…that is a mental image I will never be rid…
Jeff: Happy whatever day of Mellowmas, Jason! It’s so cold and dark. Jason: I say “whatever” every day of Mellowmas, so that’s apt. It IS cold and dark, isn’t it?…
Jason: Hey, did you see? Billy Joel is playing Brooklyn on New Year’s Eve! Jeff: Is he playing new material? Because otherwise, I don’t give a shit. Jason: Same old…
Jason: Good day, sir! I present a challenge to you. Jeff: I do not accept! Goodbye. Jason: You get back here right now! You know damn well we have approximately…
Jeff: Hey, Jason! Guess what today is? Jason: The worst day of the rest of my life? Jeff: Kind of! It’s a very special Mellowmas anniversary. Jason: That can’t be…
Jason: Some people may not realize it, but finding Mellowmas music isn’t an easy thing to do. Jeff: On the other hand, it isn’t nearly as hard as it should…
Jeff: HO, HO, HO, JASON! JASON! IT IS MELLOWMAS! Jason: INDEED IT IS, GOOD SIRE! So nice to be with you again! Jeff: Readers, please mark this down: Jason has…
