Martin Short joins Dennis via phone to talk about Christmas, continuing his tour with Steve Martin and doing Paul Shaffer's show in Vegas. They also talk some of Martin's upcoming projects, his time on SNL and the dry wit of Christopher Guest. Dennis and Christian talk about VIctor Fleming as Woodrow Wilson's photographer, Kenneth Branuagh's Mary Shelly's Frankenstein, Shakespeare and Dennis and Mark Steyn's show in Syracuse being the same night Duke is in town. Plus: an Arkansas candidate for city council who didn't vote for himself in a run-off election that ended in a tie ultimately lost on a roll of the dice. They also discuss the time Dennis took ambien on a flight, how legal marijuana makes sense for a country that doesn't try anymore, Steph Curry not believing the moon landing, Wait Watchers being criticized for hiring Kate Hudson as an ambassador, an imprisoned deer poacher who has to watch "Bambi" once a month, bees, things falling from the sky, Def Leppard keeping one-armed drummer Rick Allen after losing his arm, and a dip into the mailbag asks the eternal question: did Jimi Hendrix self-pleasure himself right handed?
