- We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and that our stupid equipment worked properly...
The Davenport Sisters wanted to bring you a two hour Christmas special chock-a-block full of special guests, surprise sing alongs, monkeys on tricycles, Emmett's hip-hoperatic translation of the Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner, instead they're bringing you the first hour of this festive holiday failure and keeping their fingers crossed that next year the equipment doesn't explode half way through the show.

- The sisters enjoy the slightly earlier time slot and prove that no matter what time it is, they're still a bucket full of goofy. Phineas joins the ladies to bring us this week's sponsors, helps Klaude name her first full length album, plays "guess that tune" with Emmett during her poetry corner, and engages the sisters in extended discourse on a special kind of hug.
