Everly Heights Tales

Hot John Hates Holidays

10 Dec 2025

Description

Experience the infamous broadcast that allegedly got Dogboy Adventures cancelled, presented exactly as it aired following WART-TV's Festive Greetings Holiday Parade. In the shadow of the rusted Curleyworld theme park, former carney Jon "Hot John" Pyre and his son Scotty scrape by in a freezing Winnebago, surviving on cold beans and hard truths. Desperate to give his son a better future, John concocts a yuletide lie to drive Scotty away, all while secretly selling his muscle to the Guild of Thieves. A gritty, tear-stained holiday noir about sacrifice, "bad" dads, and the lies we tell to protect the ones we love. Once thought lost, the episode was recovered in a YouTube video featuring the full parade, an interview with Full House's Jodie Sweetin, and the only known recording of "Hot John Hates Holidays."In the aftershow, Bill Meeks reunites with Nathan Beatty, the original "voice of Colta City" who narrated the Dogboy audiobook series a decade ago. Nathan shares what it was like stepping back into the cowl after all these years and debates which character is more fun to play: the gruff Hot John or the verbose Osbert. Plus, Nathan shares his own most memorable Christmas in this special look behind the mask of Everly Heights’ favorite pulp hero. Includes several promotional video clips for the original book series.SPONSORCAST LISTNathan Beatty – Dogboy / Bronson Black / Hot John / Osbert CollingwoodBill Meeks - Mr. Matheson / Scotty / Curleyworld AnnouncerJodie Sweetin - Herself (via archival footage)Archival footage of the the 1992 Wheeling, WV Christmas Parade  sourced from YouTube.LINKSEverly HeightsInfinite Tina: Worlds ApartJoin the EVERLY HEIGHTS ARTS BOARD and support the showDogboy Adventures Audiobook/Ebook Collection1992 Christmas Parade Wheeling WV Presented By Elbys Big BoyBeyond the Deck BoxEverly Heights Tales MerchSubscribe on YouTubeUniverse Box - Theater
