In Bethlehem in Israel this blessed babe was born And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn To which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Like on stage? Yeah. Honestly, I've heard from folks that it's just so much harder than you think and it's harder than you remember. And I barely remember because I was 12. So the last time I did a live show, like a stage show, I think I was 17. So yeah, I really like the part where I just have to get my voice ready for recording or filming, and then I don't have to think about it anymore.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Even when we did, we did a bunch of the last five years live, as much as we could, which wasn't a ton, but I didn't like having to live like a soldier and not drink and not have cheese. I'm just such a big fan of cheese.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
It's a little harder. It is, right? Maybe not for this one. But I will say, I, this is not, this is the opposite of a flex. You know, this is the opposite of flex. I am worried about distorting on the mic because I, not that I am like, because I'm so, my voice is so big, but it's because like, I have to get very loud to read the notes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
So I just want to make sure that that, you know, I don't know, Rob is prepared. Right. Okay. He's riding it. He rides it hard, too.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
It's more the, right? It's got to be from here down. No, no, no, no. I don't want to stand.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
hit it, it's the worst. And now you've stood. You don't absolutely soar. You're doing a lot for a person.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
No, I mean, I think Pitch Perfect, the singing in Pitch Perfect, actually, like I there was some reason that there was like a performance that my mom sent me. I don't know where they were dancing to the first movie. And I was like, oh, I haven't listened to this in forever. And I was like, I don't sound that good. Oh my God.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Because I think I was just sort of trying to, because they make us learn so many weird harmonies. And you're playing the percussion and you're playing the guitar or whatever. So you're just trying to actually learn the notes and there's not a ton of time for you to decide your musicality for each song. So I was like, oh man, that sounds good.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
No, but he's so sweet. And we were both really, really sick. But he is like, you know, one of the great all time like pop recording artists, you know, whatever. So we had like did a very, very simple version of True Colors. And like right before and we just kept drilling it and drilling it and drilling it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
And then like right before we were about to go on, he was just singing his part to himself and added in like 20 riffs or whatever. And I went, are you going to do it like that? And he was like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. Cause I was like, no, no, no, you have, you still have access to like so much of your voice that I like do not have right now.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Um, but he was very, very sweetly like, no, no, no, it's going to be exactly how we did it. It's going to be fine.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Oh, that was awesome. That was incredible. Can I say that was the best? And I was totally going between you and Rob's face, and you'd never know something weird was happening. I mean, I'm sure if you know him well, there's microexpressions you could read, but I was like, is he... Does he know what's going on? This is crazy.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Maybe an Easy Bake Oven. Yeah, that's a real dream. Because I also love a little baking moment, but I also love slightly underbaked baked goods. And the Easy Bake Oven really delivers on that.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
So you get warm cookie dough, which is really what I wanted in the first place. Yeah, that's right. Do you like giving gifts? I'm bad at like birthdays and Christmas because when I like know of something that I really want to get someone, I'm too excited. And I'm like, I just give it when I can't like, yeah, I can't do the delayed gratification.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

To hear silver bells ringing and wintertime singing. The happiest season of all. And I wish that Judy Garland would start singing right now.

Holiday Spectacular 2024
Should we have a go at them? Some Old English, shall we? Sure. Love and joy come to you and to all your loved ones too. And God bless you and send you a happy new year. And God send you a happy new year.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Wait, did she do the gifts and toys? Yes. Did he say that's close? He said that's close. That's crazy. That's hilarious. And I looked and it was like Kristen had crossed out the right lyrics to do it.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Well, rainbows over the rainbow. Of course. Yeah. I thought maybe the rainbows is her being like, get it? Yes, it was.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Oh, the games you two play, I see. Also, shout out to Carly for... Let's see if I can get Dax to lie about wrapping this, and then go, gotcha!
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Incredible. Did you do the garlic bread too?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
That's right. And I thought it was for, I can't believe I didn't think, well, they asked for my shoe size. Where are my shoes? I figured we'd be wearing slippers. Silly elf slippers or something.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Okay. I hope they're the absolutely not ones.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
I'm here for it. I love it. Thank you so much. It's got a side zipper so you don't have to fuck with the laces. It feels really nice. Huge.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Because in, yeah, in my last episode, we were talking about my audition for my Broadway show when I was 12, and I was wearing combat boots and ducks, asked if they were Doc Martens, and I said, no, I think they were like the Payless knockoff version, because we couldn't afford them.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
See, she loves hers. She's about to put hers on, hun. The wrapping paper is green and pink on the inside? Yeah, it's a wicked thing. Damn, you really did all that. You really did all that. Oh God, oh God, I'm gonna knock over everything.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
I don't know what I think that maybe I own like one pair of Doc Martens in my early 20s. And I don't know. I found them very stiff. Maybe I was a knockoff or maybe I got the wrong pair or something. But immediately these feel good. They used to be way stiffer. Is that right? Because I'm like, wait, I was expecting these to be like kind of a pain. Yeah, they feel amazing instantaneously.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Oh, I mean, Amazon. Far out. No, I mean, that would make sense to me.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Okay, well it is, it is a car accident. A piece of art. It's a piece of art.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
I can't really decide. I have scared people away by bringing them to my house around Christmas time because I really go crazy. You do? Harder than we do? All signs of mental illness come forward at Christmas time. I have a silver and gold room. So it's like a monochromatic. So that's all, you know. Great. And then I have a green and brass room. So that's more like traditional warm. Right.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
It was really fun to sing that for the first time two days ago. Because it was like, oh, we don't really know it yet, but that was already so fun.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
It was like... Yeah, what's the verdict on this year for you, Dax?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
And then I started a couple years ago, I started collecting antique ornaments from like the 50s and 60s. And and that's kind of my like candy colored explosion room.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Christmas time is here. Happiness and cheer.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Well, I was wondering in the living room, I was wondering like who did everything and I didn't, I mean, I assume it was sort of everyone, a team effort. I don't know. No? There are some touches in there that I'm very impressed by.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Yeah. No, that's like a problem. And we're the same. Yeah. And it's not a problem. Okay, okay.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Oh, just wait. Yes. You'll never see me again.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Yeah, this is exciting. This is exciting. Although I think the last time I saw you two, I did say, I don't know if it was in the episode or not, but I did say, oh, if I had to sing with Kristen, I would be very nervous. You did say that. And I would want to get prepped for months and months. And did I have time for that? No, ma'am. No. Do I have a knot in my shoulder? Yes, I do.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Like, what you gonna do with all that junk? With all that junk inside your trunk? And others like, what you gonna do with all that ass? All that ass inside those jeans. So I can tell him, I will make you scream with my humps, my humps, my lady lumps. Oh, my God.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Is it worth it? Let me work it. I'll put my thing down. Flip it and reverse it. If you got a big Let me search ya and find out how hard I gotta work ya. Is it worth it?
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
No, the expression on your face, I was like, oh, I hate it. Yes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
Because it's that pleased with yourself kind of, I mean, I wouldn't, but you know. Musical theater actors. Yes.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
In fairness, I don't want them to live in reality. Of course. They're singing.
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Holiday Spectacular 2024
I think that's true of ballet and opera. Everyone has their own set of rules and gestures. The world is different. I think musical theater is similar. In ballet, they go to sleep like this.
