We're back and we're celebrating RJ's birthday! For their birthday boi's choice, RJ has selected two songs themed around a Christmas standard that we've actually never covered on the show - the kind of thing they can get away with on their birthday. This year, to save us from tears, we listen to "Last Christmas" by Carly Rae Jepsen and "George and Andrew" by The Boy Least Likely To. And FYI: you can now support HARK on Patreon!

Dim the lights... strike a match... because it's HARK's annual Halloween special, and this year we're listening to two Halloween/Hanukkah songs! We start off strong with "Hanukkah" by the Manischefits, a mysterious Misfits cover band which might be composed of spirits who visited this plane only for a brief time to fulfill their one true purpose. "Halloween Hanukkah Christmas Ghost" by Hap Palmer tries to squeeze a lot of holiday content into one child-friendly tune, and while we admire that, we also find it lacking in either cheer or chills.

This week, Ian and RJ are covering two real songs by fake brothers - The Geeta Brothers. What started as a comedy video by Punjabi-Canadian comedians JusReign and Babbulicious and turned into two* real albums of Punjabi Christmas music and a touring live Christmas spectacular for the whole family. "Frost the Snowman" and "Grinch" both turn out to be polished tunes with layers of jokes -- including some that we are totally not the audience for, which really, is for the best! *We recorded the episode thinking there was only one album. We're sorry. There's a jingle horse track we missed. We're so sorry.
