FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ: Episode 220: The FDB Holiday Spectacular: Buzzards on Ice

Five Dollar Buzz

Year end specials are for the birds. Remember those holiday special shows in the 70s and 80s when networks like ABC or CBS would throw their B-list actors from their shitty sitcoms together in amazingly awful skits, toss in a few "hip" up-and-coming musicians like Captain & Tennille or Pepsi-disco-cocaine boy Leif Garrett as they sing the standard holiday crap and have the whole affair be an excuse to try and salvage the sagging ratings of moribund TV shows that were written in crayon on a napkin in the first place? Well, welcome to the FDB version of that! Except we take our cue from that old standard bearer of holiday tradition, Dickens's "A Christmas Carol". Roger as Christmas Past eulogizes the various folks we lost throughout the year; George as Christmas Present talks cold turkey about current events and Pete as Christmas Future dreamily envisions the future of FIVE DOLLAR BUZZ. Leading the show like a Dickensian boss is, of course, Nate, who stands in as our very own abused and underpaid Bob Cratchit. This episode is not especially nostalgic (leave that claptrap for Norman Rockwell's pandering to the American people to sell more Coca-Cola) but we do give an expletive-laden, free-form frivolity to the festivities (think BAD SANTA) as we wax on about the year 2021, the guests and episodes we've had on and all of the artwork Nate has put into it. It's an episode not to be missed because it's all four of the Buzzards right in their wheelhouses; unexpurgated, untethered and riotously funny.
