WEBVTT - Episode 3: The French Hen

0:00:02.360 --> 0:00:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Santa gust a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Well hello there. As you know, Santa has been experiencing

0:00:15.000 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>some unfamiliar feelings. He was feeling out of touch with

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:22.240
<v Speaker 1>today's children. But then his most forward thinking elves Evergreen

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>and Snowball, suggested he started podcast to reconnect with the kids.

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, this podcasting is not so bad. I'm starting

0:00:31.640 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>to like it. Yeah, you got a really great cadence

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and I love your voice, Santa. Well, thank you, ever Green.

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 1>This is our third podcast that we're doing here, and

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:44.200
<v Speaker 1>this time we've got a really great guest. Great. Who

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>is it? It's Clucky the French hen of course in

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:50.120
<v Speaker 1>French her name is and you know her from the

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>song on the Third Day of Christmas three to total

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:01.000
<v Speaker 1>Dubs and a Partridge and up here a tree. Oh

0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I love it. I can't wait to ask her all

0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>about France. Oh mum, so tell me a little bit

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:19.479
<v Speaker 1>about where you grew up in France. She's a very

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:23.120
<v Speaker 1>strong accent. I didn't get that. Is that is that rural?

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Frands Ma? Well, well, yes, Evergreen, do you have any

0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>questions for her? Where's the mop? I'm gonna have to

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>clean a lot of this up. Okay, let's just wrap

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:47.280
<v Speaker 1>this up. Let's get her out of here, all right.

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>It was kind of a bust, Santa. I'm sorry I

0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>didn't stop to think that, although very cultured and very interesting,

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a French hand can't really do anything but cluck. She

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>does bring to mind a story, though, Santa. Can you

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>tell us about the partridge in the pear tree? Oh,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>the partridge in the pear tree? Well, you know how

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>people like to try and find unique gifts to give

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:10.240
<v Speaker 1>it Christmas, right of course. Well, back when I was

0:02:10.320 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>just starting out, this English gent wanted me to help

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.880
<v Speaker 1>him impress his true love. He came up with this

0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>really crazy list golden rings, drums. But the thing is,

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy really liked birds, so every chance he got

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>he tried to put a bird on the list. He

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>had calling birds geese, swans and and in the partridge

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>in a tree. Anyway, it was a lot of work

0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.799
<v Speaker 1>to come up with this stuff. So he reached out

0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>to one of my elves for help and we did it.

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>We helped him find everything, and it became legendary. It

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>became a song everybody knows, and it was a lot

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>of fun tracking that stuff down. But It's not something

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>we could do every year. What I learned is sometimes

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 1>it's best to keep things simple. People love gifts, but

0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>if you put too many things on your list, it

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>can get stressful. The best gifted Christmas is to spend

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.680
<v Speaker 1>time with the people you love and doing good things

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>for each other. Some of us are lucky enough to

0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.160
<v Speaker 1>be with our friends and family over the holidays. This

0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:12.600
<v Speaker 1>isn't something everybody gets to do. So if you're spending

0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:14.919
<v Speaker 1>time with your friends and family right now, really dig

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>into that gift. What do you say? I said smartphones

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:22.040
<v Speaker 1>and electronics are fun, but you know, put the smartphone

0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>down from time to time and hang out with your family.

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>But I'm so close to this boss, Can I just yes,

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 1>finish the level? Yes? Good? Good? I'm sorry, Yes, I

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.920
<v Speaker 1>will put that down, turn it off and be focused.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Uh maybe we should take some calls. Oh, no doubt,

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>great idea. Hello? Hello, there is this Blaine. Hi Blaine,

0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 1>for a snack, So I'll either wrap up around New

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>York City because there's a lot of great pizza places

0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>there and some fantastic bagel shops, or if I'm looking

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>for something that's a little bit maybe more plant based,

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 1>I'll stop in l A. Are you gonna make me

0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>some chocolate chip cookies. Oh, thank you, buddy, I look

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>forward to that. Also, Santa, this is Evergreen the Elf

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:33.120
<v Speaker 1>and Maddox. I know that you are also a ballerina.

0:05:33.240 --> 0:05:36.160
<v Speaker 1>So my guess is she probably likes the dance. First

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.599
<v Speaker 1>thing Christmas morning? Right there? First question, are you an elk?

0:05:40.720 --> 0:05:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking to you right now. I am an elf

0:05:42.760 --> 0:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm here with my friends Snowball. Hi, nice to

0:05:46.839 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>meet Mad Sencer. If you didn't remember, Santa is the

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.400
<v Speaker 1>greatest elf of us all. Oh, I get that question

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 1>every single Christmas. Do you know anything about Einstein's theory

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>of relativity? Okay, let me back up. I could explain that,

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 1>but it would probably take a thousand years to get

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:11.640
<v Speaker 1>into the nuts and bolts of it. Let's all boil

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>it down to this. It's Christmas magic, buddy. And did

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:21.039
<v Speaker 1>you know that that your are the best making toys?

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>I only hire the best you not to just pat

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>ourselves on our own backs. But yeah, thanks. Amazon is

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:37.240
<v Speaker 1>constantly trying to steal my talent. Lane. Oh, you want

0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>to know where the reindeer are die? Actually, actually they're

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.719
<v Speaker 1>having a tag football match right now. I can see

0:06:45.760 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>them outside the window. They play it with a pine cone.

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>You like to sing as well? How do you know? Well,

0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm Santa and that's part of my job. He knows

0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>that you want a karaoke machine this holiday. You know

0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:07.240
<v Speaker 1>one thing that really helps lift up my Christmas spirit

0:07:07.400 --> 0:07:09.200
<v Speaker 1>And it would mean the world to me if you

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 1>would sing a little bit of jingle bells? Would you

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>do that? Oh, no reason to be nervous. I'm your

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:21.720

<v Speaker 1>One for shoptred Away. It's the blue bird here to say,

0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:48.000

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we go along walking in the antel on Nelly Holy

0:07:55.240 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 1>the Stars brand. Listen, this is Oh that Jesus say.

0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>Just oh that was You're welcome, have a happy Christmas.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:22.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna go okay, bye bye. Well that went great.

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>That was nice. Yes, Yes, I felt like I was

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:28.080
<v Speaker 1>really connecting, no doubt. I'll bet that belief meter is cranking.

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.880
<v Speaker 1>What say, something must not be right. The belief meter

0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.600
<v Speaker 1>hasn't budged. Are you sure this thing is working? I

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>mean it's been a little wonky lately, But the meter

0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:42.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't lie. It does seem to have floated right at you.

0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Don't just give it time, Santa. Remember we're in this

0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 1>for the long game, and nothing really great happens overnight.

0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:56.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean some great things happen overnight, obviously,

0:08:56.280 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that. Well, curmudgeon Crackers, I guess I'd better

0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:05.320
<v Speaker 1>check in with Mrs Claus Now I'll see you too, manyaa,

0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>all right, yeah, see tomorrow's Santa. Good night, Snowball. What

0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>are we missing? This belief a meter is like just

0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.280
<v Speaker 1>stalled out. Like you said, these things take time. Maybe

0:09:18.280 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 1>there's still too many skeptics out there. Poor Santa and

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>his elf handlers, Evergreen and Snowball are worried. Santa Sligh

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.559
<v Speaker 1>won't even be able to take off. If this sleigh

0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>won't fly, he won't be able to deliver any presence.

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you can help out. Here's the deal. Santa's belief

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>a meter might be low because there are folks out

0:09:37.200 --> 0:09:39.920
<v Speaker 1>there who haven't felt any Christmas cheer in a long time.

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Can you help spread some Christmas cheer? It's actually pretty easy.

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.160
<v Speaker 1>All you have to do is something nice, say something

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 1>kind to someone who might be filling down, helpout around

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the house, be the best to you that you can be.

0:09:50.000 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>We'll check back in tomorrow to see if we're any

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.080
<v Speaker 1>closer to getting Santas slag in the air. This episode

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:57.320
