E249 - 5th Annual O3L Holiday Party!

Author: O3L Media December 17, 2024 Duration: 2:00:47
It's the most O3L time of the year...always one of our favorite episodes, it's time for the O3L Holiday Party! Every year, we invite listeners from around the world to join us for a special taping full of fun, frivolity, games, friends, and lasting memories. And maybe...just maybe...the Christmas miracle of an Uncle Gregg rant or two. We had a room full of veteran partygoers this year - Julie from LA; Julio from Pueblo, Mexico; Kimberly from Downey, CA; Paul from Stockton, CA; and Tarah from Scottsdale, AZ. But just because you didn't attend the recording doesn't mean you're not invited to the party! Just press play to join in on the fun! This year, we asked our guests to bring their favorite "holiday party starter" song to the shindig. Plus, we play two brand new world famous O3L games: "That's Soooo '24," in which we ruin classic alternative song titles with 2024 slang words, and "Bandagrams," where we scramble up the letters of some of our favorite bands to hi-larious effect! Who will take the crown this year?! Plus: We talk new musical discoveries in 2024! Uncle Gregg shows off his tattoos (and gives plenty of life lessons)! Brett's got balls (and a psychedelic Santa hat)! O3L awards! Fruitcake...yay or nay? Cookies...or disappointment biscuits? Desserts with vegetables! Plus, new seasonal tunes: Swansea Sound - '(I Wanna Wear A) Mirrored Hat Like Slade' The Chesterfields - 'Last Train To Christmas' Glenn Erb - 'Santa's In Jail' Mike Browning - 'It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year' A skibidi time is guaranteed for all! Just like we used to do in Killarney. Happy Holidays from your friends at Only Three Lads! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

More than just a retrospective, this podcast captures the ongoing conversation and community around the music. It’s a space for both lifelong fans and curious newcomers to find common ground in a shared love for the artists and anthems that built a genre.
