1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty wake Up Call

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: with me Amy King on demand on the iHeartRadio app.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: It's five o'clock, straight up.

4
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: This is your wake up call for Thursday, December twenty fifth.

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,959
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. I'm probably the first person to say that

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 3: to you. Huh.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: If you're up early, this Christmas wake up Call is

8
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 1: here to keep you company. We're going to talk to

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: the fabulous Fritz Coleman. He's no longer telling you about

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: the weather, but he is telling you about getting older

11
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: and has turned that into a comedy show. We're going

12
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: to be talking with him in just a couple of minutes.

13
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: But wait, there's more. This Christmas morning, my family usually

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 1: turns on twenty four hours of a Christmas story on

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: TBS and TNT, and we just kind of phase in

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: and phase out and sit down on the couch for

17
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: a while and watch it intermittently throughout the day. But

18
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: I have a new possible Christmas classic for you. I'm

19
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: going to tell you about that coming up. It's going

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: to really put you in the Christmas spirit. And then

21
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: we're going to take you on a southern California sleigh

22
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: ride to a lot of different locations, so many really

23
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 1: cool Christmas holiday displays. And they're open on Christmas and

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: past Christmas, so even after today you can still go

25
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: check them out. So let's get this early morning Christmas

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: party started and welcome former NBC weatherman turned stand up

27
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: comic Fritz Coleman.

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: Good morning, Fritz, and.

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: Good morning to you, Amy. Glad to talk to you again.

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: Thanks for getting up so early in the morning for us.

31
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: So you left TV? When did you retire from TV?

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 4: Five years ago?

33
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: And I think we talked one other.

34
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: Why I'm up? That's why I'm up at this hour

35
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 4: of the morning, because I'm on retirement schedule. I go

36
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 4: to bed at eight o'clock and I get up at five.

37
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: Well, that you're a better man than I, because if

38
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: I didn't have to get up this early, I certainly wouldn't.

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: But what made you decide to make the jump from

40
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: television to the stage.

41
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 4: Well, a lot of people don't know this, but I

42
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 4: actually got my job doing weather from doing comedy. I

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: was working at the comedy store in nineteen eighty two

44
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 4: and the news director from Channel four, Steve Antonetti, got

45
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 4: rest his soul and his wife were in the audience.

46
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: At that show, and I had talked on stage issues

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: a Friday Night I'll never forget it. I had talked

48
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: on stage about having done the weather in the Navy.

49
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 4: I worked for Armed Forces Radio and Television in the Navy,

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: and I was forced to do the weather against my

51
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 4: will and I didn't know anything about it. But that

52
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 4: didn't seem to effect a decision making in the Defense department.

53
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: I still had to do the weather, so anyway, I

54
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 4: had an anecdote or two about this, and after the

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 4: show was over, I went backstage to meet this man

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: and his wife, and he said, this is an odd question,

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 4: but do you have any desire to come to Channel four.

58
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 4: I need a weekend weather person and a fill in guy,

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: a utility player that can do some vacation relief for me.

60
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: And I was making twenty five dollars a night if

61
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 4: comedy store. So after my heartbeat returned to normal, I said,

62
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 4: oh my god, when do you want me to start?

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 4: And he said, well, you have to audition. So I

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 4: auditioned the next week I got the job. I did

65
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: weekend fill in for two years and then the main

66
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: weather guy left to go to CBS and I was

67
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: bumped up and I retired two weeks shy on my

68
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 4: fortieth anniversary. It was the greatest stroke of luck and

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 4: show business. And said woman was discovered in Schwab's pharmacy

70
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 4: in the forties.

71
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: Well, so, now that you're away from the world of weather,

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 1: do you miss it?

73
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 4: I'll tell you I don't miss the job, and I'll

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 4: tell you why, because now the climate change is here,

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: weather has gotten really serious. And you know, I was

76
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 4: hired because I was doing personality. You know, it was

77
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 4: like our evening newscast was kind of like the morning

78
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: newscasts are now, where it was familial and you say, hey,

79
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: what did you do over the weekend and everybody left

80
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 4: and oh, yes, and here's the news. It was much

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 4: less formal and strict and fast paced as it was,

82
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 4: so that doesn't exist anymore due to climate change. And

83
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 4: first of all, I wouldn't have a job because you

84
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: have to have a license. Now. These people who are

85
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 4: doing the weather now are meteorologists. They have to have

86
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 4: the seal from the American Meteorological Society. I never could

87
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 4: have gotten that because it's math and science heavy. I honestly,

88
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 4: I never, seriously, I never would have gotten the job.

89
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 4: And so I don't miss the job. What I miss

90
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 4: is the people. I made some beautiful friends, and in

91
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: forty years we you know, went through marriages and divorces

92
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 4: and the birth of children, and you know, we were

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 4: into trenches together, and I do miss the humanity of it.

94
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I.

95
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,719
Speaker 1: Think it's it's interesting for it's because like, even though

96
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: you've not been NBC's weatherman for a few years now,

97
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: like you say that name, and everybody knows who Fritz

98
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: Goldman is, like.

99
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 4: So well, I beat them into submission over forty years.

100
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 4: You know, even if they don't like you, they know

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 4: who you are because you've been recurring on television at

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: five eighteen every night for forty years. And it's really interesting.

103
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 4: And you know this being in the media, when you

104
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: when you come into people's lives at the same time

105
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: every day for an extended period of time, they you

106
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 4: really have this sort of this false intimacy with them.

107
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 4: You're you're part of their lives and they're part of yours,

108
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 4: and it's uh, they hold onto that feeling. I mean,

109
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: there are people who have named Sheetsu puppies after Fritz

110
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: and parakeets after Fritz, and it's just ridiculous.

111
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 3: I love that I had a lady named a chicken

112
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 3: after me.

113
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: There you go, I have arrived.

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's an adorable little chicken too. So you're you're

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: not just retiring though, you're taking your going back to

116
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,279
Speaker 1: the stage. And you've been doing sellout shows of your

117
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: unassisted residency. Two years of sellout shows. So what the heck,

118
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: let's keep it going. Tell us what's funny about getting older?

119
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 3: Fritz?

120
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 4: Well, well, you have to laugh to keep from crying. Actually,

121
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: we're starting our third year. I just got extended for

122
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 4: another year through all of twenty twenty six at the

123
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: alport Heal once a month. I'm ecstatic because it's become

124
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: my home. But I do these things called single topic monologues.

125
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: I did one about being a divorced parent. I did

126
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: one about doing the evening news called to nine at eleven.

127
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 4: Then I did my first one about getting old, called

128
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: Defying Gravity. And this is one about being fully ensconced

129
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 4: in old age and trying to deal with it. And

130
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 4: it's called unassisted living, and at the Alportal they're called

131
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 4: unassisted residency. It's just I'll tell you, I think that

132
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 4: the job of the comedian has never been more important

133
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: than it is right now, with the discord we have

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 4: in the world, with a separation between opinions, if you

135
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: can just gather people together and talk about what we

136
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 4: have in common, which is the aging experience, You're you're

137
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 4: drawing people together into a common experience as opposed to

138
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 4: deciding what's what's separating us. I don't do any politics.

139
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 4: I just talk about what makes us, what brings us together,

140
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: what's our common humanity. I talk about being a grandchild.

141
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 4: I talk about their changes in your body physically. I

142
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: talk about taking taking seven pills before you go to

143
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: bed at night. I talk about going to my fifty

144
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 4: fifth high school reunion. I just all of these things

145
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 4: that other people have experienced. And somebody called it the

146
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: perfect baby boomers support group. So I'm having a great time.

147
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 4: I'm really having a wonderful time with.

148
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Okay, So, Fritz, how can people come and have a

149
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,440
Speaker 1: great time with you? You know, we have some This

150
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: would be a great Christmas present, you know, the person

151
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 1: who has everything. You're like, we don't need stuff because

152
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm really do experiences. So maybe tickets to Fritz's unassisted

153
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: residency might be a great Christmas present.

154
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: Which you perfectly described it. We're usually at the last

155
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 4: we're all for December because in this particular theater they're

156
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: doing a Christmas show. But we're back January. Every month

157
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: through twenty twenty sixth We're usually on the last Sunday

158
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: of each month, and the show starts at three o'clock

159
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: in the afternoon on Sunday because people in my demographic

160
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 4: like to be home by dark.

161
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 5: I love it.

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: Okay, where can we get more information about it?

163
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 4: Frets? Okay, you can go to the El Portale Theater.

164
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: It's spelled like Portal, but it's pronounced l portow po

165
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,600

00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 4: your family. You have older people in your family, if

171
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 4: you have a child who's younger than you, but you'd

172
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 4: like to see Fritz's show as a cautionary tale about

173
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 4: what it'll be when you get older, come and see it.

174
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 3: All right, the one and only Fritz Coleman, Thank you

175
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:14,600

00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: You are the best. Thank you so much, Amie. I

180
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: appreciate it.

181
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: All right, take care if you're enjoying your Christmas tree

182
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: in a moment of quiet before things get crazy this morning.

183
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 1: Did you know that the tradition of decorating the Christmas

184
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: tree started in sixteenth century Germany, but instead of ornaments,

185
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the trees were decorated with things like apples the nuts,

186
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, in case you needed to have a little

187
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: snack while you were opening presents.

188
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 3: Kind of love that.

189
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: My family usually watches a Christmas Story on Christmas Day

190
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: because it's looping on TNT and TBS for like twenty

191
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: four hours, so you can kind of dip in and.

192
00:09:59,080 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 3: Out of it.

193
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: But this year we're gonna switch things up a little bit.

194
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: I think we need to watch this one instead. So

195
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: here is a special Christmas edition of Amy's.

196
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 3: On it Amy's on it AMI's on AMI's on Itami

197
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: on it. Okay, this is really weird.

198
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: We were just talking to Rich Demiro about this fake

199
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: Santa photo and I just looked over at KTLA and

200
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: there he has it. This fake Santa ho photo brings

201
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Santa home with aid.

202
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 3: Right, Well, we got him first, so that's good. Okay.

203
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: So what am I on.

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm on the stream looking for new things, looking for

205
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: old things that you might have missed because there's so

206
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: much to look for and look at. And during the holidays,

207
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, we do a Christmas story. Elf is one

208
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: of my all time favorites. Miracle on thirty fourth Street.

209
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful life, all of the traditional ones and

210
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 1: for some Christmas vacation. I'm not a huge fan of

211
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: Christmas vacation, don't tell Shannon.

212
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 3: But I'm always looking for new things.

213
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: And I found a movie that I absolutely love. So

214
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 1: it takes a look at a Christmas Carol, but from

215
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: the perspective of the ghosts and they live in a

216
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: musical afterlife. It's a musical. It's called Spirited. It's on

217
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Apple TV. So it starts Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Octavia Spencer,

218
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 1: and then there's someone else that you're gonna recognize, but

219
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: want to I don't want to tell you who it

220
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: is because you'll know it when you hear the voice,

221
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: But this story is said in the present, in the

222
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: past and the future.

223
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 3: You know, Christmas Carolly.

224
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: Will Ferrell is the ghost of Christmas past, and he

225
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: wants to try to fix one person. So it's like

226
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: he wants to go after today's Ebenezer Scrooge. Nobody else

227
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: wants to, but he fights for it. And the one

228
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 1: that he wants to redeem or help out is Ryan

229
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: Reynolds's character. So the characters do break out in song

230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: quite a bit because, as I mentioned, this Afterlife is

231
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: a musical and they say that, and they go at

232
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: the very beginning, they go, oh, yeah, this musical is set.

233
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: This Afterlife is set in a musical form or something,

234
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: and one of the guys who just died is like,

235
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: what But anyway, when you hear it, you're gonna understand it.

236
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: It's just really fun. The characters are fun and engaging.

237
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 1: The music is solid. The songs are catchy, they're fun

238
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: little toe tappers. My favorite is called good Afternoon. I

239
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 1: can't tell you about it. It's about halfway through, but

240
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: when you hear it you'll know what it is. It's

241
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: a fun, fun song and who knew Will Ferrell and

242
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds could sing and the story unfolds. It's well

243
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: thought out, all the pieces come together. The story arc

244
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: is strong. If you haven't seen this one, I say

245
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: please do. I've probably already watched it five or six

246
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: times because it's just a fun story Christmas classic that

247
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:49,679
Speaker 1: maybe could be.

248
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: I'd love to see this show on Broadway.

249
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: Actually it'd be just it's really really good and again,

250
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell a fun combination.

251
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 3: Didn't expect it.

252
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: Love it if you want to get in the merry

253
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Christmas spirit, Spirited on Apple TV, and then I'd love

254
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 1: to hear what you think about it, because maybe I'm

255
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: just being silly, but I just I love the music,

256
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: I love the acting, I love the story, loved it

257
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: all loved it, loved it. So we've been taking Southern

258
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: California sleigh rides all around to check out fun Christmas

259
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: the events, and one of my favorites this year is

260
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: at Santa Anita Park. It's called in Chant with Us.

261
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: We have the event producer, Jay Babel, and this is

262
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: amazingly in Chants first year here in Southern California.

263
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,599
Speaker 5: Absolutely, we're thrilled to be here in the community.

264
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 6: It's been on our bucket list, so to speak, for

265
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 6: many years, and so we're absolutely excited about what the

266
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 6: community has done and how they've come out this year.

267
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: I'm having a little overstimulation because there's so much to see.

268
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,319
Speaker 2: Like you walk in and immediately you're greeted with these.

269
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: Giant reindeers in this arch and there's lights EveryWare.

270
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: So how many lights are in this whole area?

271
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 6: So this is actually the world's largest Christmas light mason Market.

272
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 5: We've done this event thirty five.

273
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 6: Times before and I can attest that we have.

274
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 5: Over four million lights here. That's great to adore to

275
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 5: the fence and you've done it thirty.

276
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 2: Five times and it's about time you got here.

277
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah.

278
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So you mentioned the maze and it's this giant maze.

279
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 1: So walk us through what we're going to see and

280
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 1: what we're going to do when we go through the page.

281
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 5: Does this scavenger hunt?

282
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,359
Speaker 2: Okay?

283
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 6: So our story is about Eddie the Eel and Santa,

284
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 6: and so it's called Santa's Magic time Piece and the

285
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: reason that Santa is able to deliver all the presents

286
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 6: in a single night is because he has a magic

287
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 6: time piece. That time piece is broken and what we

288
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 6: need you to do is find all the missing parts,

289
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 6: put it back together, and help us save Christmas.

290
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that you put a story

291
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: behind it. And then when you come out of the maze.

292
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: There's so many things to do and see include what

293
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: are you this beautiful little ice rink that's right behind

294
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: us and.

295
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 2: This is real ice?

296
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely yeah.

297
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 6: I mean for us, it's about the magic of Christmas

298
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 6: or the holidays, spending time with your loved ones.

299
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, and those shared experiences.

300
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 6: Doing something unique means bringing real ice, so that it

301
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 6: is a unique experience.

302
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 5: For our guess.

303
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've got a real ice rink, and there's.

304
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 6: Also a snow what we call it is the Stargazer Summit,

305
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 6: but it's actually real ice as well, so.

306
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 5: You can go down that. There's a lot of glee that.

307
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 6: You hear us guessing experience and I can't wait for

308
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 6: you to try it. But it's also real ice on

309
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 6: the Stargazer Summit as well.

310
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'm looking forward to the glee there,

311
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: all right.

312
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: And then so that leads me into food.

398
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: Enchant at the Santa Anita Park. Now, in my family,

399
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: we used to do Christmas presence from family on Christmas

400
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 1: Eve and then we do Santa Presents on Christmas Day.

401
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,240
Speaker 1: But now that everybody's grown up, well, nobody wants to

402
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: get up early for Christmas Day presence, and so everything

403
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: gets open the night before, so everybody's sleeping in except me.

404
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 1: There are so many Christmas ey holiday things happening around

405
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: Southern California that continue after Christmas. So we're going to

406
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,200
Speaker 1: continue our Southern California sleigh Ride and make it stop

407
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: at the merriest place on Earth. We want to say

408
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 1: good morning now to Disney Ambassador Jada, who is here

409
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: to tell us all about the magic of the holidays

410
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: at the Disneyland Resort. So let's get started by walking

411
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: in down Main Street in Disneyland Park. What is so

412
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,120
Speaker 1: special in Madame when people walk down?

413
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 7: What a scene.

414
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 5: I love the way you set it up.

415
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 3: It's perfect.

416
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 7: Like you said, the holidays are here at Disneyland Resort

417
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 7: right now. So as you enter into the gates of

418
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 7: Disneyland Park, you will be immersed. Almost feels like you're

419
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 7: walking into a snow globe.

420
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:15,360
Speaker 3: Such a great explanation.

421
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 7: It's perfect. You have decorations all over. You see the

422
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 7: Sleeping Beauty Castle just at the end of Main Street.

423
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 7: It's decked from head to toe with eighty thousand different lights,

424
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 7: and you've got snow on the castle, decorations all across

425
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,399
Speaker 7: and right now. It's even more special because we are

426
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 7: still celebrating the seventieth anniversary of the park, so we

427
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 7: have some elements of our celebration all throughout the park

428
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 7: as well.

429
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: But little double dipping, yes exactly, you know. And I

430
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: love that the Christmas overlay that you call it. It

431
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: touches like almost every piece of the park. So when

432
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: you go into New Orleans Square, I love the decorations

433
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: that are up the big balls, the ornaments and stuff

434
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: like that.

435
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 7: Exactly on Royal Street. You can like look up and

436
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 7: you have decorations everywhere. And then you're not too far

437
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 7: from Haunted Mansion, which of course has the holiday overlay.

438
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 7: It is currently Haunted Mansion holiday, so you can go

439
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 7: see Jack Skellington all his friends. They've decked the halls.

440
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 7: And then just on the other side of the park

441
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,240
Speaker 7: you have It's a Small World, which of course has

442
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 7: the magical lights all across the facade, so it's very

443
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 7: special for it's a Small World holiday right now, and

444
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 7: every night you can see those light up as well.

445
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: One of the coolest things to do, I think this

446
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 1: is my little insider tip, yes, because It's a Small

447
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: World is so beautiful at the holidays, is to go

448
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: and take the train around the park. Oh yeah, and

449
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: when you go by there, then you can kind of

450
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: get an over an overhead.

451
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 3: Look as you stroll by.

452
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: No you're not strolling, but if you chug on by, right, yeah, okay, so,

453
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: and then even the characters are decked out in their

454
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 1: holiday attire.

455
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 7: That's right, so we have brand new holiday attire. Mickey

456
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 7: and Minnie are decked from head to toe and what's

457
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 7: special about their holiday where this year is again because

458
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 7: they're celebrating the seventy you can kind of see some

459
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 7: inspirations from their seventieth outfits as well, So you want

460
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 7: to definitely check them out on Main Street, USA, and

461
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 7: if you have the Disneyland app, you can find out

462
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:01,719
Speaker 7: when you can meet them.

463
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, And then let's go across the street over

464
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: to Disney California Adventure Park because along with the beautiful

465
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: decorations and carsline is really fun at the holidays. With that,

00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 7: I'm I'm partial or impartial, I guess to Disney California

472
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 7: Venture Park because I started my Disney career there in

473
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 7: Carsland actually during the holidays, so of course I love it.

474
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: But did you work on a ride? I did.

475
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 7: I worked at well, Luigi's Joy to the World holidays,

476
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 7: so Luigi's rolickin roadsters year round, but Luigi's Joy to

477
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 7: the World, Okay, and yeah, I spent a lot of

478
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 7: time there, but during the holidays, all across the park.

479
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 7: We are also celebrating the Festival of Holidays, which is

480
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 7: an amazing celebration that takes us on a journey to

481
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 7: celebrate different cultures and different holiday traditions. So there's food,

482
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 7: there's entertainment all across the park. Oh my gosh, the

483
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 7: food is just amazing.

484
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: Well, and the cool thing is you've got Sip and

485
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: Saver pass again this year, right of course we do. Okay,

486
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 1: so if you're not familiar with it, you buy a

487
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:06,840
Speaker 1: Sip and Saver Pass and then you like it's eight

488
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: between eight and ten dollars per plate, and they're kind

489
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: of small bites, but they're great to go and you

490
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: can kind of snack your way around the park and

491
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: try tons of different food.

492
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 5: Exactly.

493
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 7: That Sip and Saver pass is really the best thing,

494
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 7: like you said, because then you can try six different

495
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 7: dishes for like, you know, a deal of that price.

496
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: So it's okay, what's your favorite thing about Disneyland Resort

497
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: at the holidays?

498
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 7: Okay, the snow moment that happens every night. That is

499
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 7: so magical because I grew up very close to the park,

500
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 7: so I wasn't immersed in the snow all the time,

501
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 7: so The fact that we get to go to Disneyland

502
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 7: and see it's snow on Main Street is so so special.

503
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 3: It is like, you're going, how do they make that? Yeah,

504
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: it's disney Magic.

505
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 2: Yeah it's true.

506
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 7: You're like, look up, You're like that looks like real snow.

507
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,640
Speaker 2: Okay, and where do we find out?

508
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: Because you need to still make a reservation, So you

509
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,200
Speaker 1: go to the Disneyland app and you can do that

510

523
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,400
Speaker 1: a little bit out of the city. Like if you're

524
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: feeling like it's seventy degrees and it's not feeling like Christmas.

525
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 2: Head out to Calabasas.

526
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,080

533
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 8: You are surrounded by Christmas the moment come through the

534
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 8: front door, and there's something to see left, right, top, bottom,

535
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 8: It's everywhere.

536
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 2: Okay, And.

537
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: The main draw of this is the Christmas Trail, the

538
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: Holiday Trail.

539
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 8: Correct, Yeah, right where we are is the Holiday Trail,

540
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 8: and this is a mile long, looping trail, thirty plus

541
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 8: immersive scenes. Everything is represented of the season. There's millions

542
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 8: of lights. It really does have something for everybody.

543
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 2: I love it.

544
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: And right now we're in the village, which is so adorable.

545
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Look there's a little tavern and a blacksmith.

546
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: A toy shop of course, of course absolutely. And then

547
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 2: I mean it's just like it's just Christmas.

548
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, I'm with you, and I love I

549
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: love like the trees that behind us that's quite a

550
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 1: feat because those trees are probably what fifty feet tall

551
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: at least.

552
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, this property just is such gorgeous and its topography

553
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 8: and the natural nature that we're surrounded with already, and

554
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 8: then we kind of come in and bring a new

555
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 8: light and life to it. And these trees top to

556
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 8: bottom are covered in lights. Again, as you can see

557
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 8: behind us, there's also bigger trees along the trail that

558
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 8: really just take your breath away once you see them.

559
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,600
Speaker 1: Cool and there's some cool arches and it's all just

560
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 1: lights and there's snow. And the other thing about coming

561
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: out all the way out to Calabasas is that it's

562
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: cold out here.

563
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: It can drop.

564
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 8: We are in the Santa Monica Mountains, so you know,

565
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 8: once the sun sets, it can get a little chill

566
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 8: out here. So bring a coat, bring a jacket, and

567
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 8: if you don't, we obviously have holiday road hoodies as well.

568
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: Got to sneak that in there, absolutely, And you can

569
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 1: also get warmed up with a little hot chocolate.

570
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 8: Oh yes, we have some amazing hot chocolate beverages, both

571
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 8: for kids as well as adults. So everyone's feeling nice,

572
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 8: warm and toasty when they go out on the truck.

573
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:29,360
Speaker 2: Okay.

574
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: And speaking of the adult places, there's the North Pole.

575
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 8: Yes, the North Pole bar that we have in our

576
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 8: pre show has a full bevy of cocktails and mocktails

577
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 8: for everyone, and they're all themed, you know, some ho

578
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 8: ho ho Coco, Margarita's, you name it.

579
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 5: It's out there and.

580
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: It's it's awesome Christmas Margarite is not.

581
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: I there we go, and then if you're hungry, like,

582
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: don't have dinner before you come out, because there's.

583
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 2: A ton of food trucks.

584
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 8: Yes, we have a rotating selection of LA's top food trucks.

585
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 8: Everything from you know, Philly cheese steaks to burrito.

586
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:01,920
Speaker 5: Bowls, anything you can think of.

587
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 8: It's out there and it rotates nightly, so if you

588
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 8: come on a Thursday, it might be different than a Saturday.

589
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 8: So kind of adds that repeatability to the event as well.

590
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: So if you want to come more than once, correct idea.

591
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: I like the way you're thinking. Okay, So, Tyler, what

592
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: do you hope people get out of this experience?

593
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 8: I think one of the I mean, outside of just

594
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,240

Speaker 8: But capturing those family memories and kind of looking back

600
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,639

706
00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 10: up and we're very excited to share that with our guests.

707
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:25,720
Speaker 9: Cool.

708
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: And it wouldn't be the holidays if there wasn't special

709
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 1: holiday menu items.

710
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 2: So you want to share with me a couple of.

711
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 10: Just about all of our locations have a special menu.

712
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 10: I will tell you my personal favorite, as someone who

713
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 10: grew up even a lot of rice krispy trees. Over

714
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 10: the ghost Town Grill, we have adulta de leche rice

715
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 10: krispy tree that is just abasing.

716
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 2: You might have to get there.

717
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: Okay, then here's the other one, and I will tell

718
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: you I cheated. I went to Google and I said, Google,

719
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: what's some of the best foods at Notts Mary Farm?

720
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: And there is a turkey stuffing corn dog.

721
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 10: We are having that tonight, Yes, strictly hones stick that's

722
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 10: actually my favorite is a turkey corn dog and instead

723
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 10: of the batter, we use us of stuffing in it,

724
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 10: so you get the best of both worlds. You get

725
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 10: what you need to have at theme park, a corn dog,

726
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 10: and then you have stuffing which brings the holidays together.

727
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 9: So it's a perfect melt together over trick lay in

728
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 9: the stack.

729
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 2: Okay. Holiday's going on now through now.

738
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: where we are out and about for our Southern California's

739
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: sleigh ride.

740
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 9: Christo, thanks so much, waterful see you he he.

741
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 3: We're going to wrap up our.

742
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,320
Speaker 1: Christmas morning wake up call with something I hope will

743
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 1: bring a smile to you this early Christmas morning. It's

744
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: a politically correct night before Christmas. Twas the Night before Christmas,

745
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: and Santa's a wreck. How to live in a world

746
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: that's politically correct? His workers no longer would answer to

747
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: elves vertically challenged, they were calling themselves, and labor conditions

748
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: at the North Pole were alleged by the union to

749
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 1: stifle the soul. Four reindeer had vanished without much propriety,

750
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 1: released to the wilds by the Humane Society, and equal

751
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: employment had made it quite clear that Santa had better

752
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: not use just reindeer, So Dancer and Donner, Comet and

753
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: Cupid were replaced with four pigs, and you know that

754
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: looked stupid. The runners had been removed from his sleigh.

755
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: The rets were termed dangerous by the EPA, and people

756
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: had started to call for the cops when they heard

757
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: sled noises on their rooftops. Secondhand smoke from his pipe

758
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:48,000
Speaker 1: had his workers quite frightened. His fur trimmed red suit

759
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: was called unenlightened. And to show you the strangeness of

760
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: life's ebbs and flows, Rudolph was suing over unauthorized use

761
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 1: of his nose and had gone on Kelly Clarkson in

762
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: front of the nation, demanding millions in overdue compensation, So

763
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: half of the reindeer were gone, and his wife, who

764
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 1: suddenly said she'd enough of this life joined a self

765
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,160
Speaker 1: help group, packed and left in a whiz, demanding from

766
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: now on her title was Miz. And as for the gifts,

767
00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 1: why he'd never had a notion that making a choice

768
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: could cause so much commotion. Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,

769
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:30,720
Speaker 1: which meant nothing for him and nothing for her. Nothing

770
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,560
Speaker 1: that might be construed to pollute, nothing to aim, nothing

771
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: to shoot, Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.

772
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 1: Nothing for just girls or just for the boys. Nothing

773
00:34:42,160 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: that claimed to be gender specific. Nothing that's warlike or

774
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: non pacific. No candy or sweets. They were bad for

775
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: the tooth. Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth. And

776
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: fairy tales, while not yet forbidden, were the kind of

777
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: like yeezies better off hiten for they raised the hackles

778
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: of those psychological who claimed the only good gift was

779
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: one ecological. No baseball, no football, someone could get hurt. Besides,

780
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 1: playing sports exposes kids to dirt. Dolls were said to

781
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: be sexist and should be passe, and Xbox would wrote

782
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 1: your poor brain away. So Santa just stood there, disheveled, perplexed.

783
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 1: He just could not figure out what to do next.

784
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 1: He tried to be merry, he tried to be gay,

785
00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,720
Speaker 1: but you've got to be careful with that word. Today

786
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: his sack was quite empty, limped to the ground, nothing

787
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: fully acceptable was to be found. Something special was needed,

788
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: a gift that he might give to all without angering

789
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:48,000
Speaker 1: the left or the right. A gift that would satisfy

790
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: with no indecision, each group of people, every religion, every ethnicity,

791
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:59,440
Speaker 1: every hue, everyone everywhere, even you. So here is that gift.

792
00:35:59,719 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: It's price beyond worth. May you and your loved ones

793
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,879
Speaker 1: enjoy peace on earth. And just like that, our time

794
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 1: is done. Wake Up Call always goes by so fast.

795
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 1: For me, this has been your Christmas Morning wake up Call.

796
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for starting your Christmas day with us.

797
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: Wherever you are and whatever you're doing, and whomever you

798
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: are with on behalf of producer Ann and board engineer Kono,
