Politicos Dallas and Brad Woodhouse — brothers who work on opposite sides of the aisle — were in for a big surprise Tuesday morning when they appeared on C-SPAN to debate bipartisan politics.

The two were visibly stunned when their mother, Joy Woodhouse, called into "Washington Journal" to deliver a lecture about their incessant political bickering, proclaiming, "I would really like a peaceful Christmas."
"Oh God, it’s mom!" Dallas, a Republican, proclaimed, as both he and his Democratic brother Brad expressed surprise, taking turns hiding their faces in embarrassment during the live segment.
"I disagree that all families are like ours. I don't know many families that are fighting at Thanksgiving," Joy proclaimed. "I was very glad that this Thanksgiving was the year that you two were supposed to go to your in-laws."
She said she's hoping the dueling brothers — who spent time away and with their wive's families for Thanksgiving — get their political debating and banter out of their system before they head home to North Carolina to spend Christmas with her and their father.
"I would really like a peaceful Christmas and I love you both," she said.
Host Steve Scully, who said that the call-in wasn't planned, proceeded to ask Joy what it was like to raise Dallas and Brad. Her response? "Well, it hasn't been easy."

It's possible, of course, that the call was planned or that the brothers knew about it beforehand, though that can't be known for certain.
Dallas and Brad Woodhouse are the subjects of a documentary titled "Woodhouse Divided," which showcases their complex — yet close — relationship as they navigate different ends of the political spectrum.
