Baby Wants Candy

Suggestions roll in from BWC fans from Chicago, UK, Bay Area and Iceland. Hosts Ashley, Chris and John (w/MD Dan Wessels) welcome not one but TWO guest into the cozy Baby Wants Candy Christmas studio: Zach Marsh (guest BWC MD) dishes on his experience scoring Hallmark Christmas Movies. And BWC cast member Lauren Adams ("Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt") talks about what’s on everyone’s mind: who else wants to sleep with hot Santa Kurt Russell? Featuring the improvised classic Holiday songs: “Olives On The Ends Of My Fingers (An Orphan’s Manicure)”, “He’s Not Heavy, He’s My Heavy Meats for the Holidays”, “I Need More Wine to Do You In This Hallmark Christmas Movie” and “Crap Christmas Gift Quartet”.

Fans sent in so many great suggestions, we had to make TWO Holiday podcasts of insta-clasic improvised holiday tunes. (Part Two will be released Sunday!) Hosts Ashley Ward, John Hartman and Chris Grace (w/ holiday musical stylings of MD Dan Wessels) welcome BWC cast member Brendan Dowling as they lament “Santa’s Shitty Pen and Pencil Set”. And who could forget the rousing “Christmas Towel Movement”? Come crowd around the warm glow of your screen for some improvised Baby Wants Candy Christmas cheer.
