The Black Lincoln Collective Comedy Podcast: Episode #86 on PopCulturePros (or #171 for those tracking our inevitable rise to Christmas podcast royalty)
Title: A Rawdog Christmas
It’s that magical time of year again—when the air is filled with festive cheer, shopping-induced rage, and just the right amount of chaos. Broadcasting live from the North Pole of South Carolina (don’t question it), the Black Lincoln Collective Podcast is back with another holiday spectacular, guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe, and wonder why you ever trusted us with your holiday spirit.
First up, we unravel the great Christmas pickle mystery—why do people hang glass pickles on their trees? Tradition? Inside joke? Secret German conspiracy? We’ve got theories, and none of them are historically accurate.
Then, we tackle 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' and finally ask the important question: Who really wrote it, and why was the guy so obsessed with sugarplums? (Seriously, has anyone actually seen a sugarplum?)
But the festive insanity doesn’t stop there. Ever heard of slapping therapy? Neither had we, but apparently, it’s a thing, and we have questions. And speaking of questionable choices, we also bring you a heartwarming, slightly scandalous Charlotte Hornets story that will make you feel something—even if it’s just secondhand embarrassment.
As if that wasn’t enough, Fred, Allan, and Parker brainstorm a totally legitimate business venture involving sheep shears (because nothing says “Christmas magic” like livestock grooming), and we take a deep dive into Krampus and alternative holiday legends—for those of you who like your Christmas with a side of nightmare fuel.
So grab your eggnog, dodge that last-minute shopping trip, and settle in for an episode filled with festive nonsense, absurd revelations, and maybe even a little holiday wisdom. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and joyous Kwanzaa to all—now press play before Krampus gets you!
