THREE, TWO, ONE....Let's Partayyyyyyyy!
[00:00:02] [SPEAKER_04]: This is a Bramble Jam Podcast Live from the North Pole, it's time for Christmas Morning
[00:00:17] [SPEAKER_04]: The Daily Show where every day is Christmas. Here you're host, Ram and Sky!
[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_08]: And also, Shinu.
[00:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, hello!
[00:00:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody, welcome to another...
[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Not just an episode of Christmas Morning, but a party.
[00:00:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm Bram, I'm here with my good friend Scott Scott, Merry Christmas, Happy 25th to you!
[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_08]: Merry Christmas, Brandon, I am loving how Christmas is everywhere.
[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_08]: It's everywhere.
[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_08]: I went to Lowe's, Christmas. I went to Michaels, Christmas.
[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_08]: I went to Home Depot, no Christmas, but that's okay.
[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm a buddy of mine, apparently saw Christmas at Walmart.
[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh yes, Walmart as well! I looked over from the pharmacy other day and it was trees galore coming out of the top of the section.
[00:01:15] [SPEAKER_08]: It's always a big one.
[00:01:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'm very excited, obviously.
[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm also excited Scottie.
[00:01:20] [SPEAKER_02]: I think that we've been doing Christmas party episodes.
[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_02]: This is our second year doing them, correct? We started last year.
[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that sounds right.
[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_02]: I think this is the first time the 25th is landed on a Wednesday, which is an interesting thing.
[00:01:35] [SPEAKER_02]: It's like what do we do here?
[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think it makes the most sense to just party.
[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not thinking anyone's going to be like, of course.
[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, fooled by like, where's the other thing?
[00:01:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the 25th. We got to do the thing.
[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I can guarantee you somebody is going to say, where's the other thing?
[00:01:51] [SPEAKER_02]: You can send them to me.
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[00:01:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I can send them to me.
[00:01:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll let them say something.
[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I made the decision to just party like it's to 25th.
[00:02:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Because there's some crossover.
[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_02]: There's like crossover of things we do.
[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, we have so much to get to today.
[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_08]: This is going to be probably 45 minutes.
[00:02:09] [SPEAKER_08]: So don't think you got short change this week.
[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You did not.
[00:02:12] [SPEAKER_02]: And also, don't think you got short change because you do hear Shannon and Shannon is here.
[00:02:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Shannon, welcome, Merry Christmas to you.
[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I am here.
[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_05]: Merry Christmas.
[00:02:21] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was going to say, I've also seen Christmas when I went to the T-Tons grantee
[00:02:27] [SPEAKER_05]: Ton National Park a couple weeks ago.
[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_05]: And the gift shops all had really awesome ornaments and like whole like Christmas sections.
[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Quite a flex brain.
[00:02:36] [SPEAKER_08]: We went to Walmart.
[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_08]: You're not getting what you were at the end of the time.
[00:02:41] [SPEAKER_08]: One man's Walmart is, I don't know, if the saying would work here.
[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_08]: But did you go to the Walmart in the grand T-Tons?
[00:02:48] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:02:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Actually, on the way back driving through Wyoming, we did stop at a Walmart.
[00:02:57] [SPEAKER_08]: So we just got a go.
[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_08]: She took every box on that one brand.
[00:03:00] [SPEAKER_08]: What a trip.
[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: She checked every T-Time.
[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_05]: But I didn't check for any Christmas.
[00:03:04] [SPEAKER_02]: Here's a question for you though.
[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Do you think they have the ornaments out there all year or do you think they put them out?
[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_05]: You know, I actually think they probably have them out all year.
[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: I think they did so.
[00:03:15] [SPEAKER_02]: But that isn't making any less special.
[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:03:17] [SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_05]: And there were so many good ones.
[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_05]: I didn't buy any.
[00:03:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, if I were independently wealthy, I would run some sort of all year Christmas shop.
[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_08]: I would love that.
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Would you?
[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I know in general I don't tend to like to be around people, but there's a Christmas
[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: People or leaving your house.
[00:03:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I would work in the Christmas shop.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[00:03:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:03:38] [SPEAKER_02]: You move in.
[00:03:39] [SPEAKER_02]: That I could see maybe working.
[00:03:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The idea of you going into a place every day.
[00:03:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I think those days are behind us.
[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_08]: I used to go into places every day.
[00:03:49] [SPEAKER_08]: I used to wear a suit and tie every day too.
[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I used to have hair.
[00:03:53] [SPEAKER_08]: I used to not have backpained.
[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_08]: I know those days are behind us.
[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, okay.
[00:03:58] [SPEAKER_02]: All I'm saying Scotty is I don't think.
[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: What you've been doing.
[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: You've been working from home.
[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_02]: You've been living the dream for a while now.
[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be hard to go back.
[00:04:06] [SPEAKER_08]: I've been doing it for 15 years.
[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm ruined for going out.
[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Scotty acts like he's like 75, but he's really.
[00:04:14] [SPEAKER_05]: He's really much younger than that.
[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_05]: It's just, you know, sometimes I get it twisted.
[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm like, are you in your 40s or are you in your like 80s?
[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_08]: He's not a day over 65.
[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_08]: I am 48 going on 73.
[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, exactly.
[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Scotty, you mentioned we have so much to get to today.
[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think we should delay any further.
[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: And we gotta get started in the only way that we know how with the count.
[00:04:37] Go.
[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_10]: Go, go.
[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_10]: So it's a three month athletics, count a 1 2 3 count down, 3 2 1.
[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_10]: However you want to do it Easy is huge.
[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_08]: This is a huge one three months I did have to cham- Every.
[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Every month I said I have to check it to make sure but I had my fingers out and I was like.
[00:05:02] [SPEAKER_08]: September October.
[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh yeah.
[00:05:04] [SPEAKER_08]: And we can't shortchange people Shannon because I got some angry e-mails last week of.
[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_08]: You didn't say how many days it was until October 1st.
[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh my gosh.
[00:05:13] [SPEAKER_08]: So I'm going to throw that one in as well.
[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_08]: It's only.
[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Do the tell.
[00:05:18] [SPEAKER_08]: It's only five days until October 1st.
[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I got it.
[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_08]: There we go.
[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Walk a walk and did it.
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_02]: That's exciting.
[00:05:27] [SPEAKER_02]: What are we going to do after we get dog to over?
[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_08]: We're going to talk about negative days or
[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_08]: raising days until next October.
[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I have no idea.
[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_02]: But three months.
[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Three months is so exciting.
[00:05:37] [SPEAKER_02]: The fact that there's only five days until October, though,
[00:05:40] [SPEAKER_02]: reminds me has anyone sent in anything for Halloween evening.
[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_08]: A few people have sent in some ideas and I have no idea what we're going to do yet.
[00:05:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm just going to create.
[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I love it.
[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: It might be weekly.
[00:05:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It might be a weekly.
[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: It might be a weekday.
[00:05:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll see what happens.
[00:05:55] [SPEAKER_08]: We'll do it at least two.
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_08]: How about that?
[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_08]: We'll commit to it at least two.
[00:05:58] [SPEAKER_08]: And I hope you got some theme music going or something.
[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_08]: But that's not today.
[00:06:03] [SPEAKER_08]: What we need today is an intro for Christmas traveling.
[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you have your mouth or something?
[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: I got something even better.
[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you ready?
[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay.
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Wow.
[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_08]: What is it?
[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Christmas Traveling.
[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_08]: Are you flicking the top of a soda can?
[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_08]: I am.
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_07]: Wow.
[00:06:22] [SPEAKER_08]: I thought you were going to play Jingle Bells for a second.
[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_08]: And Shannon, I was wondering how he was going to get the other couple notes in there.
[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think it's happening.
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_02]: No.
[00:06:29] [SPEAKER_02]: This is like a spoken word situation.
[00:06:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you stop?
[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Shannon, I was never a teacher.
[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_08]: But I think I can spot when somebody forgot to do their homework.
[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure.
[00:06:44] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm not sure.
[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_05]: Actually, I am impressed.
[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_05]: And I was thinking about how brand probably sat at home thinking about what he could do next
[00:06:51] [SPEAKER_05]: time and he was playing around.
[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_05]: He was like, ooh, so the kid.
[00:06:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I've done everything at this point.
[00:06:56] [SPEAKER_02]: I feel like I've brought a lot to the table.
[00:06:58] [SPEAKER_02]: You haven't done that thing.
[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_08]: You're wine glasses where you rub your finger over the top.
[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[00:07:02] [SPEAKER_08]: I've never been good at that though.
[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And in my defense.
[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_08]: No, it's just a mess waiting to happen.
[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_05]: But I think you're just mad.
[00:07:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Scotty that you didn't know.
[00:07:10] [SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_08]: That's true.
[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm getting up stage by brand's musical ability.
[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_02]: And for what it's worth Scotty, you're not wrong.
[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_02]: But also I, I've provided myself at being able to do that back when I was in school.
[00:07:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I felt like I was pretty darn good at the essay game.
[00:07:26] [SPEAKER_08]: That was then just like me, Lee's in the house though.
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_02]: That's right.
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: That's true.
[00:07:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I haven't had to do it in a while.
[00:07:32] [SPEAKER_08]: I hope it played okay.
[00:07:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Shannon, would you read our first email from Drew Basick?
[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Ooh, I will.
[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_05]: Let's see.
[00:07:38] Okay.
[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I recently listened to the last Christmas morning episode discussing Disney
[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_05]: World during the holiday season.
[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_05]: As an annual passholder,
[00:07:46] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought I'd share some photos from our visit last December.
[00:07:50] [SPEAKER_05]: My wife, daughter and I had a wonderful weekend exploring Magic Kingdom
[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_05]: and Hollywood Studios.
[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_05]: We also visited the Grand Floridian Hotel
[00:07:59] [SPEAKER_05]: to marvel at the Gingerbread House and festive decorations.
[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_05]: Some fun facts about the Gingerbread House.
[00:08:06] [SPEAKER_05]: The Gingerbread House is life-sized and stands 14 feet tall.
[00:08:10] [SPEAKER_05]: The house is decorated with white chocolate, candy canes,
[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_05]: edible snowflakes, sugar point setters,
[00:08:17] [SPEAKER_05]: point setties, sorry.
[00:08:18] [SPEAKER_02]: A hundred, thank you.
[00:08:19] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, crackers, toy soldiers and snowmen.
[00:08:23] [SPEAKER_05]: There are 24 hidden Mickey's throughout the house.
[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[00:08:26] [SPEAKER_05]: And after the holidays,
[00:08:28] [SPEAKER_05]: the house is fed to inset.
[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I read that.
[00:08:32] [SPEAKER_08]: I was starting to wonder, like, maybe the insect feeding starts before the holidays
[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_08]: and they just let it come.
[00:08:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I wonder if they should just bring it to animal kingdom.
[00:08:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, you can't have the Orkin Man show up at your Gingerbread House.
[00:08:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_05]: We plan on going back this December and we'll take some more pictures and send them your way.
[00:08:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I have a question.
[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_05]: My question is, how long is this up for?
[00:08:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Because if the house is fed to insects after the holidays,
[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm sure the insects are feeding during.
[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_05]: It's inside, right?
[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_08]: It appears to be so in the photos and Drew sent this not that long ago.
[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_08]: So it wasn't like it was June.
[00:09:09] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm mostly caught up on emails here and I don't know.
[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_08]: The hotel can't have it up you're round, right?
[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_08]: There's a tree up with it.
[00:09:16] [SPEAKER_08]: So I don't know what's happening.
[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I think these are from last year I would assume, right?
[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it says last December.
[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Last December.
[00:09:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's why.
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Sorry about that.
[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[00:09:26] [SPEAKER_08]: Context clues.
[00:09:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm getting schooled on how to read by Brandon.
[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's how you know you've done goofed if that's the case.
[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: I will say this.
[00:09:36] [SPEAKER_02]: This looks wonderful but there's also a pretty ginormous gingerbread house at the Grove Park
[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_02]: in up in Asheville, which I feel like I've talked about on the show before.
[00:09:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But when I go up this year they have a sign that breaks down like how much of everything is in it.
[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll be sure to take a picture of that and talk about it on the show this coming holiday season.
[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Because it's it's a wonder to behold if you've ever come across one of these giant ginormous houses.
[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: It's it's amazing.
[00:10:04] [SPEAKER_02]: I can't imagine everything that goes and actually making it work.
[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know if like bugs are just like it's too much sugar for them so they don't go after me.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know.
[00:10:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't think that's how bugs work.
[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Okay, well, if anybody else has gingerbread related content feel free to send it in.
[00:10:19] [SPEAKER_08]: I will post these photos to our Instagram drew what a beautiful family you have.
[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_08]: It looks like you guys had a lot of fun and thank you for sending these.
[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a great Santa too holy cow.
[00:10:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's a really that Santa looks fun.
[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, he looks really fun.
[00:10:34] [SPEAKER_08]: I'll read the next email from Kelly Andrew.
[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't need a brand you remember this?
[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_08]: She I had really dragged my feet on her email and she said she was going to follow up with how her
[00:10:44] [SPEAKER_08]: travels across the country we're going and she did great.
[00:10:47] [SPEAKER_08]: So she says, a ton of greetings, brand Shannon and Scott to you as well.
[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_08]: I heard you mentioned that you'd like an update after you read my email on the air last week.
[00:10:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, that was shameful.
[00:10:58] [SPEAKER_08]: That felt like some weird there.
[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Right, I've earned totally earned.
[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_08]: So here it is and I think it's a pretty good one.
[00:11:05] [SPEAKER_08]: This summer we traveled out west hitting five new states at a couple of ones.
[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_08]: We did on previous trips bring your grand total to 44.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Wow.
[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I realized that our journeys were going to bring us near Spokane a light bulb went off because
[00:11:17] [SPEAKER_08]: I remembered it was the home of a wonderful Christmas ornament company called Old World Christmas.
[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, well they're not typically open in the public.
[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_08]: I remembered seeing something about them having a Christmas July event at the Spokane headquarters.
[00:11:30] [SPEAKER_08]: And wouldn't you know we would be passing through Spokane right at the beginning of July.
[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_08]: But then I checked the dates and was heartbroken to learn that their event didn't
[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_08]: start until two days after we were scheduled to leave the area.
[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_08]: I sent a quick email off to their customer service team and asked if there was any way I could stop in for a visit.
[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Since I was visiting from the East Coast and they said, sure, come on by.
[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Whoa!
[00:11:52] [SPEAKER_08]: That service right there.
[00:11:53] [SPEAKER_08]: At his service.
[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_08]: Customers always were so gracious and had someone waiting for me at the door to show me around.
[00:12:00] [SPEAKER_08]: They brought me into the warehouse, a veritable Santa's workshop of Christmas ornament
[00:12:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Happenings, then into the factory store.
[00:12:06] [SPEAKER_08]: It was magical.
[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_08]: When we walked in there the lovely employee turned off all the, oh, turned all the lights on.
[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_08]: And it was like seeing Christmas for the first time.
[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_08]: Christmas trees everywhere all lit from top to bottom in all colors.
[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Christmas trees hanging from the ceilings Halloween trees every tree had a theme.
[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_08]: And all the ornaments were for sale and they were so inexpensive.
[00:12:27] [SPEAKER_08]: They were factory seconds.
[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_08]: It was such a joy.
[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Did the TSA stop me on my way through airport?
[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Security to question what was in my carry on?
[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes.
[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Was it worth it?
[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Of course it was.
[00:12:38] [SPEAKER_08]: I have a brand new stash of gorgeous ornaments to add to my collection.
[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_08]: Plus a new Yellowstone National Park monument to commemorate our trip.
[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_08]: I highly recommend it is a two old world Christmas for everyone visiting Spokane.
[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_08]: Pure joy.
[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: This is amazing.
[00:12:53] [SPEAKER_02]: This sounds great.
[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I want to do this and also shout out to the old world, old world Christmas for being so kind.
[00:13:01] [SPEAKER_02]: I got some amazing.
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_08]: I love it when a story has something like customer service wildly exceeded my expectations
[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_08]: because it usually here about the opposite.
[00:13:11] [SPEAKER_08]: It sounds like this was so much fun.
[00:13:13] [SPEAKER_08]: Shannon, you should have popped in there on your way to the Wyoming.
[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess it's a little spokane's a little farther but in the end the wrong direction.
[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Yellowstone is near the T-Tons.
[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_05]: Only about 10 minutes away from the T-Tons.
[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_08]: And you didn't go?
[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_05]: But I'm very, very, very dear for only two days.
[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_05]: So what do I have to say?
[00:13:33] [SPEAKER_08]: First you got to see the Yellowstone then you got to fit the other stuff in the whole
[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_08]: market.
[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, you got to get the Walmart and you got to see the Walmart.
[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_08]: So Kelly, thank you for sending in the update.
[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Sounds like you had a great time and I'm a little bit jealous but that's okay.
[00:13:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Shannon, would you read the email from David Scarborough?
[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes.
[00:13:51] [SPEAKER_05]: Greetings from the Lone Star State.
[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_05]: I do remember Christmas in the 80s and something I talk about often.
[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_05]: My Christmas is we're always centered around the latest Star Wars toys from Canard.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.
[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_05]: Late 80s, Christmas is we're about music because sets of any kind were welcomed.
[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Do you remember cassettes, Shannon?
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_08]: You probably don't.
[00:14:08] [SPEAKER_05]: Of course, Aaron.
[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_05]: Yes, of course I do.
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Okay.
[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_05]: You act like you're so old.
[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_08]: You are young.
[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_08]: You look like you're 20.
[00:14:15] [SPEAKER_05]: I had a hole like I had a literally with my name on it.
[00:14:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I cassette holder with my name.
[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Anyways, up until last year my entire 51 years on this planet.
[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_05]: Christmas dinner was Mexican food.
[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_05]: tacos, enchiladas, bonuelos?
[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know what that is but I want to write.
[00:14:34] [SPEAKER_05]: Rice with all the accutra more.
[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_05]: Although I live in North Texas, my grandmother lived in El Paso in the 60s.
[00:14:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Her best friend, owner restaurant and lived in Juarez.
[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_05]: My grandmother learned the recipes and passed them down to our entire family.
[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_05]: We actually have a family cookbook.
[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_05]: We are not of Hispanic descent but the food and culture has been paramount to Christmas
[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_05]: for not only my entire life but also for my children's entire lives.
[00:15:01] [SPEAKER_05]: I got lazy last year and we catered honey baked ham and although it was super easy,
[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_05]: it left a hole in the holiday.
[00:15:07] [SPEAKER_05]: I am hoping this year I have the energy to do better.
[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_05]: Last week, while shopping for homecoming shoes with my daughter, we found Christmas.
[00:15:14] [SPEAKER_05]: The pictures attached are from dillards at fire wheel mall.
[00:15:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I love department store Christmas.
[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't know why maybe it was when I was growing up those were always the first
[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_08]: stores to start decorating maybe a little bit before the rest of them all.
[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_08]: We had dillards when I lived in Florida and maybe even Connecticut.
[00:15:32] [SPEAKER_08]: I can almost smell the department store in these photos that he said because they always have that
[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_08]: perfume and cologne in the air kind of smell.
[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_08]: I just love it.
[00:15:41] [SPEAKER_08]: I want to be there, Shannon.
[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh yeah.
[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the smell nowadays is a bit more like mold but I understand what you're saying.
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: For sure.
[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: The malls are falling, falling by the way.
[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not a bit.
[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Although the mall in green walls pop in, it's pop in.
[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I was going to say so, not the good mold but the bad mall.
[00:15:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, probably smells a little rundown but not this one.
[00:16:00] [SPEAKER_08]: Not the photos that I'm looking at here.
[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm seeing these beautiful tasteful little displays and maybe that's the other thing about
[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_08]: department stores as they always tend to be tasteful and this one is no exception.
[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: I did look up when Anilos.
[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh yeah, I'm sure I butcher that.
[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: It sounds good.
[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's not fried.
[00:16:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I knew it.
[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Well, I knew I wanted it even before I knew what it was.
[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a yeah man.
[00:16:22] [SPEAKER_08]: I would love to have somebody in my life who would invite me over for some kind of Mexican food
[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Christmas.
[00:16:29] [SPEAKER_08]: It's not something I've ever done.
[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_08]: It's not part of my family routine but it sounds great.
[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you eat at Christmas, Scotty?
[00:16:35] [SPEAKER_08]: I don't really like making a big turkey.
[00:16:37] [SPEAKER_08]: Sometimes I'll make a turkey breast but I'm not really into carcasses.
[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_05]: What?
[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_08]: You know, like, Shannon, you've ever cooked it to a full turkey?
[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_05]: Absolutely.
[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_05]: I just thought it was funny that you said I'm not into full carcasses.
[00:16:48] [SPEAKER_08]: No, but the thing is you come back to the kitchen and here's this congealing carcass sitting on the counter.
[00:16:54] [SPEAKER_08]: That is gross to me.
[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_05]: But you have to know how to make a soup from it.
[00:16:58] [SPEAKER_05]: You put it in.
[00:16:59] [SPEAKER_08]: You're just immediately chuck the whole thing in a pot.
[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to deal with it.
[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_08]: Yes, I don't like turkey soup.
[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Actually, I just don't like gross turkey very much.
[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_08]: I like Deli turkey.
[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_08]: You ever been to that Jimmy Johns?
[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Wow, they know how to make some turkey burr.
[00:17:10] [SPEAKER_08]: What about a ham?
[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, what about a ham?
[00:17:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, I like ham.
[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[00:17:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Ham is good, especially if it's a boneless ham but I also like tenderloin.
[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_08]: That's one of the few times a year I splurge and do like an expensive cut of meat like that.
[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_08]: And I eat the potatoes.
[00:17:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Ham is Christmasy for me.
[00:17:26] [SPEAKER_02]: A nice roast is Christmasy to me.
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:17:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Worked turkey.
[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, Thanksgiving.
[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't do turkey.
[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: What do you eat, Shannon?
[00:17:35] [SPEAKER_05]: Growing up in my family, we would do a primerib.
[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_05]: On Christmas.
[00:17:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, there you go.
[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, look a big rib roast.
[00:17:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, and primerib is nice because there's something for everyone in there.
[00:17:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Some people like the rib parts, you know, that kind of thing.
[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_08]: And sandwich is galore after that.
[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh, yeah.
[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_05]: Now we're talking.
[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Now we're talking.
[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Now we're talking with some horse radish.
[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I love the horse radish.
[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_08]: A brain.
[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_08]: Could you introduce our next segment here, Christmas decorating?
[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Sure, I can.
[00:18:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's decorate.
[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_07]: Let's decorate.
[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow.
[00:18:15] [SPEAKER_08]: I have an audio clip from La Nora Gilbert.
[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_08]: She sent us a story about Advent calendars.
[00:18:22] [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, everybody.
[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_00]: It's La Nora here.
[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_00]: Your Christmas freak on the street from Arizona, where the temperatures have finally fallen
[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_00]: below 100 degrees.
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_00]: Yay.
[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_00]: I was out shopping at my local IKEA the other day, looking for meatballs.
[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_00]: When what did I spy with my lie?
[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_00]: It was the IKEA Advent calendars.
[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Nice little bond bonds every day with a few surprises mixed in.
[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_00]: Seeing those calendars got me thinking about how this tradition became part of our Christmas celebrations.
[00:18:54] [SPEAKER_00]: Historically, people have had different ways to count down the days and weeks before Christmas,
[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_00]: whether that be lighting a candle each week or making chalk marks on your door,
[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_00]: or hanging up devotional images.
[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_00]: The first printed Advent calendars are attributed to a German fellow named Gerhard Lange.
[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_00]: He was inspired by a childhood memory of his mom,
[00:19:15] [SPEAKER_00]: sewing 24 cookies into a lid of a box and being allowed to eat one each day of Advent.
[00:19:23] [SPEAKER_00]: The original calendars in the 1920s were cardboard with small doors that opened up to reveal a picture or a Bible verse.
[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_00]: Gerhard took it to the next level in 1926 by coming out with the first one with chocolate in it.
[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_00]: The calendars became popular in America after World War II.
[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Today, the calendars can be found full of almost anything, bacon, dog trees, cat treats,
[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_00]: playdo, gems, all kinds of stuff.
[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_00]: I was by plenty in the days coming up to Thanksgiving and giving them out at Thanksgiving as a partying gift.
[00:19:57] [SPEAKER_00]: I wrapped them up until everybody to open them on December 1st.
[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_00]: Hope you can add this bunch of tradition to your celebrations. Happy Christmas party everybody.
[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_08]: L'Anore really got me with when she said she was at IT a looking for meatballs.
[00:20:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I laughed out loud when I heard that.
[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_02]: She's just being honest, Scotty.
[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: We all, anybody who goes to IKEA for anything other than meatballs.
[00:20:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously there's furniture.
[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_08]: The thing is they're not even that good but I'll still eat them.
[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Obviously there's furniture.
[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, you make sure you revolve the trip around the meatball.
[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_08]: What's the same way I go to Costco and I always get a hot dog and my daughter always wants the chicken bake.
[00:20:38] [SPEAKER_08]: But these photos of advent calendars made me smile not because they're great advent calendars although I like her idea of giving them as gifts after Thanksgiving.
[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_08]: That's a really cool idea.
[00:20:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But this does remind me Scotty that we are in need.
[00:20:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I felt like last year advent calendar would the Marvel things or the DC whatever they were was really fun.
[00:21:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a fun addition to their show.
[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: So if anybody wants a send an advent calendar for the year.
[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, I'm not asking anybody to send an advent calendar but if somebody wants to it was so much fun last year.
[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Do whatever you want to.
[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_08]: You don't have to.
[00:21:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Of course.
[00:21:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Shanna, do you do an advent calendar?
[00:21:17] [SPEAKER_05]: No, I don't.
[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_05]: I mean it's also because I think like I don't have kids and then if I did one for myself.
[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know I would just get like one with chocolate in it or something but I could get one for my dog.
[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_05]: Like I would love that.
[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Oh, that's a cute idea.
[00:21:33] [SPEAKER_08]: Do it for your dog.
[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_08]: Do it for my low power talking.
[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I saw your photos recently on Instagram and it looks like you could just give my low 25 of your shoes.
[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_05]: Oh no.
[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's why I'm sorry.
[00:21:45] [SPEAKER_05]: He had been calendar.
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_05]: He did.
[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_05]: He ate her my shoes.
[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_08]: It was now like a tasty shoe.
[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I don't know why he got real into that shoe.
[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_05]: Like anyways moving on.
[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, but there's an advent calendar here that's all chocolate and it's not like little crummy
[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_08]: wrapped foil chocolates.
[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_08]: These are truffles.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_08]: And it looks really good.
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_08]: That does.
[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah.
[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_08]: So thank you, Linaura.
[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_08]: Linaura always does such a wonderful job giving us content.
[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_08]: And this was more of a history lesson.
[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_08]: I really liked this.
[00:22:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you and it was better than the creepy Santa's saying.
[00:22:17] [SPEAKER_08]: Love you, Brian.
[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_08]: Love you.
[00:22:20] [SPEAKER_08]: Love you.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Love you.
[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_08]: Love you.
[00:22:22] [SPEAKER_08]: Shinna, could you read our email from Josh Allen?
[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_05]: Here are some pictures from the Christmas tree.
[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_05]: We have kept it up after Christmas.
[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_05]: Just never got around to taking it down.
[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_08]: So it happens.
[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_05]: It's very nice to come home to a Christmas tree with a light on each night after work.
[00:22:36] [SPEAKER_05]: Picture.
[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_05]: The Christmas story Ralphie and Bunny suit had knocker bubble head by Neko and East

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_08]: I know Josh sent it earlier this year and I don't know if he's still got the tree up
[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_08]: If he's just going to ride it all the way through the year.
[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_08]: I totally support this.
[00:23:18] [SPEAKER_08]: I love these little toys though.
[00:23:20] [SPEAKER_08]: And I actually like that Josh told us how to find them or get them.
[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_08]: That little one by the made by robots that looks like it looks crocheted but I think it's plastic.
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I love it.
[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_08]: I love the texture on that.
[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_08]: And I would love to have it.
[00:23:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I like this like hype like hyper realistic one that's like his face looks so real.

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_08]: Yeah, it does.
[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_05]: I like that.
[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_05]: That's cool.
[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_08]: It's a little bit creepy but I think it's a that's to the charm.
[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_08]: The line between creepy and festive is it's great.
[00:23:51] [SPEAKER_08]: It's very narrow.
[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_08]: But I like the full size leg lamp.
[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_08]: And I have one my wife got it for me for my 40th birthday.
[00:23:57] [SPEAKER_08]: They aren't cheap.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[00:24:32] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to eat this.
[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I saw a stop.
[00:24:34] [SPEAKER_02]: That was awesome.
[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_08]: Is that where you got the idea?
[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_08]: No.
[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_08]: All right.
[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_08]: I've got an email from Lance Garmin.
[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_08]: Lance says good morning Christmas buddies after a flurry of egg knock talk this year during
[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_08]: Christmas and July.
[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_08]: There has been little discussion of this magical elixir.
[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_08]: Last year, this podcast shared my adventures as I meled my egg nog mixture for a few
[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_08]: months.
[00:24:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Where they discussed for my use of a trucker pee jar.
[00:24:59] [SPEAKER_08]: I've never moved out of that.
[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_08]: For my beverage was balanced out by hearing brand tell me that he loves me.
[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_07]: I love you.
[00:25:05] [SPEAKER_08]: I still believe the best egg nog is one where the egg sugar liquor mixture has meled in
[00:25:11] [SPEAKER_08]: the fridge for two to three months before adding the dairy.
[00:25:14] [SPEAKER_08]: Although I know there are other recipes that include the dairy as part of a shorter
[00:25:17] [SPEAKER_08]: mellowing process.
[00:25:19] [SPEAKER_08]: I am honestly curious to hear others share their egg nog stories, including those that cook a
[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_08]: custard version or try to create a sugar free option.
[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_08]: Seriously, Scott, I would love to know if that works if you try it.
[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_08]: If brain is willing to try a mellowed recipe option, I am hopeful he will enjoy the
[00:25:35] [SPEAKER_08]: beverage as much as the rest of us.
[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_08]: On my end, I have already created my mixture and placed it in the back corner of a fridge.
[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_08]: I will admit my wife appreciates the fact that I switched to a different container instead
[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_08]: of the one with a clear plastic jar.
[00:25:48] [SPEAKER_08]: I doubled my batch from last year with the hope of having some ready by Thanksgiving and
[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_08]: possibly a little extra to make some egg nog ice cream.
[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Wow!
[00:25:58] [SPEAKER_08]: Each year I changed up the liquor's involved, but the ratio I follow is about two and a third
[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_08]: cups of liquor, one and a half cups of shiiger in a dozen eggs.
[00:26:06] [SPEAKER_08]: After a couple or three months, I strain the egg mixture and add six cups of milk plus
[00:26:11] [SPEAKER_08]: 1 ½ cup of cream.
[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_08]: I am not much of a rum fan, so for this double batch in 2024, I ended up using a bottle
[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_08]: of brandy as well as some vodka and whiskey to broaden the flavor profile.
[00:26:21] [SPEAKER_08]: I have attached pictures, although maybe Dan should avoid the one of a bowl of 2 dozen raw eggs.
[00:26:28] [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you as always for keeping us Christmas focused throughout the year.
[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_08]: Brand when I made egg nog a couple years ago, I think I did Brandy and Canadian whiskey
[00:26:37] [SPEAKER_08]: and I got dark Jamaican rum. I am a rum fan, especially in egg nog.
[00:26:44] [SPEAKER_08]: What's the look on your face? You're not into the egg nog the rest of the office is, right?
[00:26:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, they are and I know they're all very excited about nog a flock starting back up this holiday season.
[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_02]: I think if Dan saw this picture he would, um, and this is tough to overlook this picture of all these eggs.
[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's a lot of eggs. You gotta be honest, kind of looks like they're in a toilet. It looks like she makes the egg
[00:27:07] [SPEAKER_02]: in a toilet which I'm sure people do what I first saw. I was like, why are their eggs in the toilet?
[00:27:12] [SPEAKER_02]: It's the top view of a bowl that just happens could be shaped.
[00:27:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I can see. Oh, yeah. You're right. Yeah. It's like a kind of a metal piece
[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_02]: like to the top of that which looks like it could be a pipe. Again, I don't think he did but
[00:27:26] [SPEAKER_05]: it's a lot of eggs. You know you're not actually wrong and it's the shape and
[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_08]: yeah. Blance is why if appreciate the upgrade in the container. I'll still be honest though.
[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_08]: It still looks like a bucket of paint. Uh, and a mayonnaise jar maybe. I don't know.
[00:27:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It looks massive to me. It looks like it's a giant paint container. Oh yeah. But regardless,
[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_08]: if I were in the neighborhood, I would try your egg noglands. I have not tried the sugar one.
[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_08]: I figured that I could probably get away with a much shorter mellowing time if I'm using
[00:27:59] [SPEAKER_08]: artificial sugars and such stuff dissolves like nothing. Um, I don't know. I probably should have
[00:28:04] [SPEAKER_08]: been on it quicker but this Christmas batter that he's made here, it looks great. I would drink this.
[00:28:10] [SPEAKER_05]: She didn't do you like egg nog. You're a bartender? Yeah, I do. But I'm not making egg nog.
[00:28:16] [SPEAKER_08]: But I mean, you shut your y'all around. That's true. But no, I mean, at Christmas,
[00:28:22] [SPEAKER_05]: at Christmas time, I like egg nog. I can't drink a lot of it. I feel like yeah. Some people
[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_05]: like we'll drink it throughout the season. It goes down thick doesn't it? It's more of like
[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_05]: maybe if there's a party here and there, I'll have some but like, I don't know. And also
[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_05]: that Christmas there's so many wonderful drinks and treats that I want to have. That I need to like
[00:28:43] [SPEAKER_05]: moderate. Yeah, you're not want for beverages at Christmas. Yeah, moderate how much how many times
[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_05]: I'm drinking egg nog. You know what I mean? But that's just me. That's just me. That's just me.
[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_08]: Hips, you've got if you brought your own egg nog. Well, then there'd be questions about the
[00:28:59] [SPEAKER_08]: health and safety of the egg nog and what if somebody got sick? You wait until that you wait until
[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_08]: you have a little hat of coffee. Hello. Your sign this waiver that says you won't sue if you get
[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_05]: botcholism. Open this bag and I like take out a bag. She's going to keep a bag of egg nog.
[00:29:17] [SPEAKER_05]: A big jar of egg nog. I'm pouring it into a cup. I think there's a way to do this on. Yeah,
[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_08]: or maybe a dispenser that looks like an under and you could just. No, we're no, I'm going to toilet.
[00:29:33] [SPEAKER_08]: That's a no under bar. We got another email from Emily Ferguson who said first sighting of
[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_08]: egg nog at the grocery store in New Hampshire and she included a photo here, 299 quite a deal for
[00:29:45] [SPEAKER_08]: those who ran egg nog. Looks like some people have taken it. It looks like my kind of people
[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_08]: have been to this store. She didn't say what store it is but thank you Emily. Interesting that
[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: it's like right next to what I think is like the lemonade. I think that's like Colibso lemonade there.
[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_08]: And she's doing it. Yeah, it does look like a pink lemonade and that's a terrible combination.
[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_05]: But you know, people see that. That is that's a weird, weird placement. They're like we
[00:30:08] [SPEAKER_05]: have no room for anywhere else. So we're just going to stick it down here. What's the difference
[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_02]: between these two? There's one with a little green that makes you feel like I don't know.
[00:30:15] [SPEAKER_08]: Once it's golden, it's crispy and one doesn't. Yeah, one has a little Christmas photo
[00:30:20] [SPEAKER_08]: kind of on the front. The others, the year-round egg nog maybe. Yeah, they're like maybe people
[00:30:24] [SPEAKER_08]: buy it and if it doesn't. Yeah, there's one that's the year-round egg nog. It's Easter nog.
[00:30:30] [SPEAKER_08]: Easter nog. Yeah. All right, we want to take a quick break. And then when we come back,
[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_02]: who will discuss TV and movies? Is that good? Okay. Love it. We are back. Welcome back. We're having
[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot of fun. It's a party. It's the 25th. We're three months until Christmas. And we still got so much
[00:30:51] [SPEAKER_08]: to do, Scotty. Yeah, we certainly do. Could you introduce Christmas TV and movies for us? Sure.
[00:30:57] [SPEAKER_08]: Here we go. TV. And film. It's full on stop at this point. Yeah. It's tough. Okay.
[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_08]: Shannon, could you read our email from Nicholas Satanic Linsman? All right. I'm back on my Christmas
[00:31:16] [SPEAKER_05]: shopping plan, where I buy one gift every Monday for the next 19 Mondays. This leads me into
[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_05]: the Christmas week and makes my countdown that much more easier. What are your top five Christmas
[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_08]: movies? Just curious. I don't think we have time for each of us to do five, but maybe your top one
[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_08]: or two. Shannon, what's your favorite Christmas movie? Obviously home alone, but okay. No,
[00:31:37] [SPEAKER_05]: that's- Well, well, because some people don't love it as much as I do obviously,
[00:31:44] [SPEAKER_02]: but I would say probably home alone too. Okay. What's yours, Brian? I'll do top three.
[00:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Looks like some variation of the Santa Claus elf Christmas story, some sort of.
[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_08]: Wait, what's the first one? The Santa Claus? The Santa Claus. Yeah. I've never- that's the one from
[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_08]: like 1986. It's a Santa Claus 90s. Yeah. Oh, the Santa Claus. I'm sorry. Yes, I was thinking
[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: of Santa Claus the movie. Yeah, that's okay. That's all that I say happens. It happens. Yeah,
[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_08]: I was some sort of version of this story. I would say Christmas story in elf would be in my top three.
[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm not sure what the third would be. I feel like I rotate them in and out throughout the year.
[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_02]: I also like a next idea here of buying a gift every week. Yeah. Makes a little bit simpler. That's nice.
[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_08]: I like that. I feel like I remember, and Nick, if I got this wrong, I'm sorry. You definitely
[00:32:33] [SPEAKER_08]: correct me. I feel like Nick buys them and wraps them and then gives them to himself
[00:32:39] [SPEAKER_08]: at the end after Thanksgiving, which was a brilliant idea. And so I believe he said,
[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_08]: sometimes you'll never remember what they are. That's interesting. That's interesting. Oh,
[00:32:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Shannon, just wait, your memory will go at some point. Yeah, yeah. I don't know what you're talking about.
[00:32:55] [SPEAKER_08]: That's what? Well, no, you made it sound like, oh, how could somebody buy something and forget
[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_08]: what's wrapped? I can absolutely picture this. That's not what I was thinking at all. So I was so
[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_05]: confused by why you were talking about your memory. No, no. I was saying your memory will go
[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_08]: some day. And I was like, yeah, absolutely. Every time Amazon shows up, it's like Christmas.
[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_05]: I have no idea what's in that box. Oh, yeah, I know. I know. Well, that means you're buying a lot,
[00:33:25] [SPEAKER_08]: I guess. Yeah, I do buy a lot for Amazon. Yeah. I have a dedicated truck that just services my house
[00:33:31] [SPEAKER_08]: for my wife. I'm pretty sure. Thank you. Shannon, you said you like home alone? Of course.
[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_08]: Would you read the next email from Jill Fulton? This one is going to excite you.
[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_05]: I was going to be mad if you didn't ask me to read this one. No, no, no, this one's all you.
[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_08]: Hey, guys. And Joe Fulton, obviously the Christmas of Fishi Enato, he didn't send this
[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_08]: as the Christmas of Fishi Enato. He sent this as Joe Fulton. It's different. It's like TV Scotty versus
[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_05]: regular Scotty. Totally different. I wanted to share photos. I took while visiting New York last
[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_05]: month. I documented all the home alone to Lost in York filming locations with my talk boy in hand.
[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_08]: I'm looking at the photo. What's a talk boy? Oh, come on Scott. I know. We're not going here.
[00:34:12] [SPEAKER_08]: Have you not seen home alone too? I think I saw it when it maybe in the first couple
[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_08]: years it came out. But no, I haven't seen it since. They talk boy. He just talks into it.
[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_05]: Record just voice. You can play it back to tell he's able to book a hotel room.
[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_05]: I'll talk boy. Anyways, get on the same pages of Scotty. Okay. With my talk boy in hand,
[00:34:30] [SPEAKER_05]: this includes scenes from Central Park where Kevin gives the pigeon lady the two turtle devs,
[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_05]: the seafood district where we first see Harry and Marv and of course the Plaza.
[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_05]: I thought I would show the comparison shot versus the scene from the film for your listeners.
[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_05]: If you visit New York, it's impossible to visit all these locations in one show and just
[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_05]: Kevin's journey takes him all over the city. It's a great way to see the city and relive
[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_05]: the best home alone movie. And of course, that's fire. Make sure you stop and eat. Eat. Eat. Not
[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_08]: own plain pizza. We said, playing pizza. I can see where the Epe came from. I want to
[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_05]: eat some pizza too. Yep. A good portion of the film was also shot in Chicago and I hope
[00:35:16] [SPEAKER_05]: to visit and finish my home alone too journey. And of course, visit the original film
[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_05]: locations as well. I absolutely love these photos are so cool. I would like to say a couple
[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_02]: things one. You're exactly correct about how long to be in the best home alone movie. But also
[00:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: the work that he did here is very impressed by loves seeing the side by side. It's great work all
[00:35:40] [SPEAKER_02]: around it's interesting to see how some things have changed. Some things have not changed.
[00:35:46] [SPEAKER_08]: It's very cool. Yeah. Now what Joe has done and I didn't realize this when I first opened and
[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_08]: saved all the photos from the email is he's done like a split screen kind of thing. It's one photo
[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_08]: with the top is from the movie, the bottom is from his trip. I mean, he's doing the work. He's
[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_05]: doing the work. Oh yeah. It's very cool. No, it's actually really cool and looking at the picture
[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_05]: the empire diner and I'm looking at how it looks now and I'm like, oh dang that looks entirely
[00:36:12] [SPEAKER_05]: different. Yeah, they really ruined it. Obviously post COVID. They have all the outpours
[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_05]: seating now. That's true. Yeah. Yeah, I just, it doesn't look as good as the original. I'm like,
[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: why? That's true. A lot of the restaurants in New York in order to survive, they had to do these
[00:36:30] [SPEAKER_02]: outdoor things and then you just kind of go straight around. So, yeah. Exactly. So thank you, Joe.
[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_08]: I will post these photos. I appreciate you doing the hard work for us. Looks like a lot of fun.
[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_08]: Sorry. I didn't know what a talk boy is. Everybody. I'm sure I'm not the only one. Maybe I'm
[00:36:43] [SPEAKER_08]: just being the willing foil here so that somebody else would be like, I don't know what a talk
[00:36:48] [SPEAKER_02]: boy is. I do think it is possible Scotty for you to be the only Christmas podcaster that
[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't know what a talk boy is. I think that might be possible. I've just never been into home alone.
[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_05]: It's just not my thing Scotty. We're not getting into this right now. I don't have the
[00:37:04] [SPEAKER_08]: energy to be mad at you today. That's good because you guys need to save your energy for the next
[00:37:08] [SPEAKER_08]: thing we have here. Do you remember last year sometime Shannon, you did a little acting exercise
[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_08]: for us? I do. Now John Rice used chat GPT to come up with a, I think it's an explanation
[00:37:22] [SPEAKER_08]: of the story from the song Christmas wrapping by the waitresses and turn it into a home art
[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_08]: script. So, Brandon, would you be willing to read the mail part? Sure. I will be James. Yes.
[00:37:36] [SPEAKER_08]: I'll be James this is name. I'll be the narrator and then you can be James and Shannon. You
[00:37:40] [SPEAKER_08]: can be Jenny. Are you all ready for this? So I'm going to set the scene here. It is a cozy, snow-covered
[00:37:46] [SPEAKER_08]: town square bustling with holiday shoppers and twinkling lights. A cheerful Christmas melody
[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_08]: plays in the background as the camera pans to a small quaint coffee shop where Jenny, late 20s,
[00:37:58] [SPEAKER_08]: war-hearted but slightly weary sits alone at a table, sipping a hot cocoa. She gays is out the
[00:38:04] [SPEAKER_05]: window pensively. Hey wait, can I have a flash? Can I? Yeah, sure. She'll be switch it and have
[00:38:10] [SPEAKER_08]: have brandoo Jenny and me do James. Sure. All right. Okay. Yes, please. Okay. Okay. Cut to flash back scenes
[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_08]: throughout the year. Jenny getting on a ski lift is a cute guy gets off a summer beach vacation where
[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_08]: she bumps into the same handsome stranger but all she could get was the name James, a Halloween
[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_08]: party where she hopes to see the charming James but cannot find him in the crowd of people. Each time
[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_08]: circumstances are timing prevent them from connecting cut back to present day. Jenny size softly
[00:38:39] [SPEAKER_08]: her breath creating a fog on the window pane. She flips through a stack of holiday cards
[00:38:44] [SPEAKER_09]: reading well wishes from friends and family. Maybe I'll just spend Christmas alone this year.
[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_09]: A reminder on her phone breaks the quiet calm. Oh no, now I forgot I'm supposed to help mom
[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_09]: save her struggling in and I still need to cram bears. Cut to the bustling city market where James,
[00:39:04] [SPEAKER_08]: early 30s kindhearted and a bit of a romantic stands by a display of festive reaths,
[00:39:10] [SPEAKER_08]: carefully selecting one for his apartment. He smiles warmly at a child nearby who eagerly points
[00:39:15] [SPEAKER_08]: out his favorite decorations. Q the holiday magic. Jenny rushes through the market, a bit
[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_08]: flustered and distracted by her shopping list. She pauses suddenly reaching for a can of cranberries
[00:39:26] [SPEAKER_08]: just as James does the same. Their hands touch briefly and they both look up surprised yet intrigued
[00:39:32] [SPEAKER_06]: by each other. Oh sorry I didn't mean to. No worries cranberries are a popular item this time of
[00:39:40] [SPEAKER_06]: year huh yeah yeah things like everyone's cooking up the storm hot ice season I guess.
[00:39:48] [SPEAKER_08]: Jenny fumbles with her shopping basket trying not to look flustered. Tell me about it. My cooking
[00:39:54] [SPEAKER_06]: skills are questionable of best cranberries are about as adventurous as I get.
[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_09]: Well cranberries are very versatile. You can do a lot with them make sauce, fake them in bread or
[00:40:10] [SPEAKER_06]: just put them in a festive punch. You're right maybe I'll experiment this year.
[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_08]: They share a smile and the connection is obviously growing between them. Your James, right?
[00:40:24] [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah how do you know my name? I saw you at Merrill Beach this past summer. Oh that's right.
[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_09]: I see your sunburn cleared. Oh yeah that's the last time I trust any advice from the internet.
[00:40:42] [SPEAKER_09]: I'm sorry I really would love to talk more but I need to buy these cranberries and see my mom.
[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_06]: An overly dramatic James bounce his head. Well I can help carry your groceries for you.
[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_09]: My lady and her said shithole was dead. Is your mother okay? Yes yes she's fine. I'm just
[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_09]: trying to help her. You see she owns an in and needs to come up with enough money by Christmas or
[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_09]: you know she's gonna lose the in and her home. Well that's that's why I'm buying the cranberries
[00:41:19] [SPEAKER_06]: to bake some cookies to raise money. That's very sweet of you. You know I own a small investment
[00:41:28] [SPEAKER_06]: firm and I've been looking into investing in local establishments perhaps in in but it will cost you
[00:41:38] [SPEAKER_06]: how much how about a date whoa. This took a turn. Let's say six o'clock Saturday night
[00:41:51] [SPEAKER_06]: Laslo's Italian restaurant you know what it's a deal cut to several scenes of Jenny and James
[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_08]: getting to know each other sharing coffee at the local shop taking us snowy strolls with the
[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_08]: towns holiday lights and exchanging stories of their past year's adventures and misadventures
[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_08]: once no evening Jenny and James walk hand in hand through the town square the air filled with
[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_09]: laughter and a sound of carolers singing nearby. You know this year started out so differently
[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_09]: and I expected I thought I'd had just been Christmas alone just catching up on the work and binge
[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_06]: watching holiday movies and now look at us who would have thought a can accram berries would lead to
[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_06]: the us. Thank you. Thank you for making the holiday so special James it's my pleasure Jenny
[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_06]: I'm just glad we finally found each other they walk closer their hearts full of newfound love and
[00:42:56] [SPEAKER_08]: holiday cheer fade out as snow gently falls outside the window creating a picturesque scene of
[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_02]: you know what I appreciate about that is a eyes commitment to just forgetting about saving any sort of
[00:43:11] [SPEAKER_02]: lodge or whatever they just cut that out of the scene halfway through. I feel like this has happened

[00:44:31] [SPEAKER_03]: recap of Touch Buy An Angel's episode the feather Randy Travis is Wayne taking care of his intellectually
[00:44:38] [SPEAKER_03]: disabled brother Joey the previous night an angel appeared at the church with Wayne unsure if he believed
[00:44:43] [SPEAKER_03]: what he saw however his brother Joey believes and proclaims that love feather he found was from the
[00:44:49] [SPEAKER_03]: angel and in the one angel she turned into light she flew high up until the sky but it dropped a
[00:44:55] [SPEAKER_03]: the congregation also believes and is who oh no the Christmas road brand let me finish the review first
[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_02]: whether I want to or not it doesn't matter and it just kind of happens all right the congregation
[00:45:10] [SPEAKER_03]: also believed the angel appeared and it's susceptible when Charles a con man poses as a preacher
[00:45:15] [SPEAKER_03]: he steals the feather and uses it as a prop that convinced the congregation to fill with the collection
[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_01]: plates I mean his pockets guess what is God make man like that he doesn't they make themselves
[00:45:28] [SPEAKER_03]: like that the sad truth baby is that wherever there's an opportunity there's an opportunist
[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_03]: meanwhile Joey finds a crack baby the show's words on mine and the church manger seen a crack baby
[00:45:43] [SPEAKER_01]: lots of drugs in that baby system it's tragic where you walk
[00:45:50] [SPEAKER_03]: brand I'm almost done Joey believes he can care for the baby kidnaps him and runs to the church
[00:45:56] [SPEAKER_03]: believing the corrupt preacher can heal him to be smart so that he can care for the child
[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_03]: Monica reveals no the Christmas road brand just let me quickly finish this review
[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_03]: the episode ends with Wayne revealing that the corrupt preacher is his brother and Monica
[00:46:12] [SPEAKER_01]: reveals herself as an angel giving everybody faith you worshiped a feather at an angel
[00:46:18] [SPEAKER_01]: instead of God you sought out fame instead of the needy and you embraced the loud arrogance
[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_01]: of pride and became deaf to the tiny voice of a small baby in a manger so final thoughts
[00:46:35] [SPEAKER_03]: the episode was confusing it first and then I realized that this is a continuing story from a previous
[00:46:40] [SPEAKER_03]: season not this story would have happened if Monica hadn't even revealed herself in the first place
[00:46:45] [SPEAKER_03]: and we don't know what happened to the crack baby a crack baby I give this episode a scene
