We found out 32 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 7: in September that we would be guest hosting for the 33 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 7: Rush Limbaugh Show, but we were asked not to announce 34 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 7: that yet, but we began preparing for the the It 35 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 7: was about ten days at Christmas, and so I brought 36 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 7: Jim Mudd on to help us staff up. And it 37 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,240 Speaker 7: was kind of a trial run to see if he 38 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 7: was going to be able to keep up because we 39 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 7: produce a lot and and well, I'll leave it at that. 40 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 7: Not everyone could keep up. And it turned out he 41 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,040 Speaker 7: was such a great addition to the show that he 42 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 7: developed into being our creative director and it's been a 43 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 7: big boon to our show and a lot of times, 44 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 7: a lot of segments we do. He will pull together 45 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 7: a news story and maybe some audio and audio clip 46 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 7: to go with that, or he might write a parody. 47 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 7: Chance McLean makes a lot of our funny songs, but 48 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 7: Jim has also started writing more and more of our parodies, 49 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 7: and whether it's a song that's chosen to go with 50 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 7: a segment, or a sound clip or a parody, he 51 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,679 Speaker 7: will write a little background for us as to why 52 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 7: he wrote that. And the background is not meant to 53 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 7: be shared on air. It's not part of the segment. 54 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 7: It's just for us to know why he considered that newsworthy. 55 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 7: And a lot of times I will take what he 56 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 7: has written and I will work that into my own narrative. 57 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 7: I'll call it my truth, ramon my truth. Let me 58 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 7: start using liberal language. I will speak my truth. I 59 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 7: will find my voice anyway. I'll take what he's written 60 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 7: about something and I'll say, well, that's not accurate, that's 61 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 7: not my perspective. But here I'm let me make it 62 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 7: my perspective. And he will have been the conversation starter. 63 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 7: But he wrote a little background for us, and I 64 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 7: liked it so much that I asked him to record 65 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 7: what he had written for y'all to hear from Jim 66 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 7: at Christmas in his own voice. Really, ramon, that's what 67 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 7: you Seriously. 68 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 8: As I get older, I find myself reflecting on the 69 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 8: Christmases of my childhood, I look back and I long 70 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,599 Speaker 8: for those days. I remember that my parents would let 71 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 8: us open one gift, and that was before we went 72 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 8: to my grandma's house. It was always the Christmas outfit 73 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 8: and new shoes that we would wear to Grandma's and 74 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 8: then later to church, and we would always get excited, 75 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 8: and not because we were happy to get some nice clothes. No, 76 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 8: it was because we knew it was time to get 77 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 8: ready and go to Grandma's soon. Christmas at Grandma's was 78 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 8: the best. Everyone was there, all my aunts, uncles, and cousins, 79 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 8: and they would be dressed up too, and they were 80 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 8: happy to see you. Now, my grandma I only lived 81 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 8: three blocks away from us, and I used to walk 82 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 8: down there all the time, but on Christmas, she may 83 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 8: as well have been across the country because that drive 84 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 8: took forever. Now Dad would pull up and let Mom 85 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 8: out in front of the house, and I would ride 86 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 8: with them to find a spot to park the car. Now, 87 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 8: we had a big family, so there were a lot 88 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 8: of people there and you had to find a spot 89 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 8: down the street to park. I know now that this 90 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 8: was more than just my dad making me feel like 91 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 8: I've grown up, because you know, he needed help with 92 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 8: the presents. Now, it really it was him showing me 93 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 8: that my mom was worth letting out at the door. 94 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 8: He didn't want her to walk all the way down 95 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 8: the street and her good shoes and they were probably 96 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 8: new too, and you know how new shoes can be. 97 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 8: We would get the gifts that we brought for the 98 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 8: gift exchange and head to the house. Now, when we 99 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 8: walked through that back door, everyone agrees with a hug 100 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 8: and a Merry Christmas. My Grandma would have the biggest 101 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 8: smile on her face, probably because I was her favorite. 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:49,479 Speaker 4: It's a fact. Everyone knew it. 103 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 8: Everyone knew that I was the favorite, but a little 104 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 8: bit because it was Christmas. She would give you a 105 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 8: big hug and tell you to go put your coat 106 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 8: in Grandpa's room. Now, Grandma and Grandpa slipped in separate 107 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 8: rooms at this point, and if you asked them why 108 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 8: this up in separate rooms, they would both say that 109 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 8: the other one snored too loud and they couldn't sleep. 110 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 8: Besides the warm welcome, the smell of Grandma's house was amazing. 111 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 8: The smell of food and baked goods, cookies, pies, I 112 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,280 Speaker 8: mean it filled the air. My Grandma and I'm sure 113 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 8: like yours was a great cook. Sinatra, Jerry Mathis, Nat King, Cole, 114 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 8: Elvis was surely playing on the stereo ed if I 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 8: am just loud enough to be heard under the conversation 116 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 8: happening throughout the house. Now, as a kid, you're excited 117 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 8: about getting presents. Now that I'm all grown up, I 118 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 8: really can't remember anything that ever got a grandma's Honestly, 119 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 8: not one thing. Turns out it wasn't as important as 120 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 8: I thought at the time. Now, I do remember one 121 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 8: gift that my grandpa got my grandma. He was so 122 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 8: excited to give it to her. He rapped it all 123 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 8: by himself, and he waited to the very end of 124 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 8: the gift exchange for her to open it. She was 125 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,359 Speaker 8: all smiles opening that box. But let me give you 126 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 8: some background on my grandpa. He was not the romantic type, 127 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 8: not at all. 128 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 4: Now. 129 00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 8: He loved my grandma, he had ORed her, He worshiped 130 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 8: the ground she walked on. But he was not the 131 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 8: romantic type, and he wasn't going to get her jewelry 132 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 8: or anything like that. He was practical. He had grown 133 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 8: up on a farm during the depression and fought the 134 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 8: Nazis He worked at the gas company for forty years 135 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 8: and fished every weekend. He was very much a function 136 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 8: overformed kind of fella. So when she opened her present 137 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 8: to find a shiny, brand new fire extinguisher for the house, 138 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 8: she shouldn't have been as surprise as she was. He 139 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 8: was beaming and she was seating. You see, Grandpa thought 140 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 8: that that extinguisher was a sign of just how much 141 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 8: he loved her. He wanted her to be safe if 142 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 8: a fire broke out, and he took that fire extinguisher 143 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 8: and he mounted it on the wall right outside her 144 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 8: bedroom door. Now, that fire extinguisher outlasted Grandma and was 145 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 8: still hanging on the wall when Grandpa sold the house 146 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 8: fifteen years later. It was a lasting monument of his 147 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 8: love to her. I can never go back and live 148 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,119 Speaker 8: those moments. Those are gone forever. But I still carry 149 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 8: with me the greatest gift that have ever received at 150 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 8: Grandma's house, the love that was in that house. That 151 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 8: love is what I bring with me as I make 152 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 8: the rounds this Christmas. The love from Grandma's house is 153 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 8: the love that my kids will carry with them as 154 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 8: they get older and have families of their own.

By the way, 318 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 14: just a quick reminder that flying in coach is never 319 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 14: a safe place, especially if you're the mayor of New Orleans. 320 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 14: That's why here at Hoodrat Beer Lines, we're always happy 321 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 14: to upgrade any female Democrat mayor of a city in 322 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 14: the South for free to first class.

Remember 328 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 7: when Joe Biden was ushered around by the Easter Bunny. Well, 329 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 7: we received an insider communication from the person wearing that 330 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 7: bunny costume. 331 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 4: Yes, I wasn't the bunny coustume that day at the 332 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 4: White House. It was my job to shadow the president. 333 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 4: It was Easter, so someone thought that it'd be a 334 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,080 Speaker 4: good idea to dress me in a bunny outfit. They 335 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: thought that if I've dressed up like the Easter Bunny, 336 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 4: I could blend it in the crowd, and if the 337 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: President went off script, I would be able to steer 338 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 4: him back to a more appropriate conversation. Now it is 339 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 4: time for the event in the White House. 340 00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:20,400 Speaker 9: Long. 341 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: Things were going pretty well at first, but then the 342 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 4: President decided to mingle with the people. First, he saw 343 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 4: a man in the crowd that was, how do I 344 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: say it slow? So the President kind of leaned down 345 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 4: in his stage whisper to me, telling me about the 346 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 4: Behabit's George. I think he thought that referencing Lenny of 347 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 4: Mice and Men when he saw someone that was a 348 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 4: little slow was funny because I was dressed like a 349 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 4: giant rabbit. However, this is the type of situation that 350 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 4: I was there to steer him away from. My job 351 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 4: in that scenario was to mention how much his dead 352 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,399 Speaker 4: son bo loved Easter. I mean that always works to 353 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,160 Speaker 4: get the president back on course. If he strays away 354 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 4: from the script, we always bring it back to Bow. 355 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: Always and later when you try to talk about Pakistan 356 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 4: with a toddler, I mentioned bow nothing. But this time 357 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 4: it didn't work. He was going to talk about Pakistan 358 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 4: with that toddler no matter what. I'll admit. 359 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 2: I pan up. 360 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: At this point. I start waving my arms and I 361 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 4: say the code word for Lansbury. See Lansbury is the 362 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 4: code we have with the President when we see he's 363 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: starting to get a little tired or maybe end over 364 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 4: his head. We say Lansbury. He knows it's time to 365 00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 4: go up to the residents and lay down and watch murder. 366 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 4: She wrote, The President loves a good who done it? 367 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,120 Speaker 4: We played that same episode right before his nap every day. 368 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: He never remembers that he's seen it, and it's his 369 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 4: favorite episode. So it's a win win for us. But 370 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 4: I'm telling you right now, if they asked me to 371 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 4: dress up like his mother again for Mother's Day and 372 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 4: he tries to breast Freed like last year, I'm out 373 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 4: of here.

From its first line is a poem. First 410 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 7: Poe no Okay, now you're interrupting. Okay, So the actual 411 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 7: poem is called a Visit from Saint Nicholas. The first 412 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 7: line of the poem is twas the Night before Christmas. 413 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 7: It has come to be known as twas the Night 414 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 7: before Christmas or the night before Christmas because people don't 415 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,719 Speaker 7: know how to write twas, which is apostrophe, and then 416 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 7: at twas. 417 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 2: So the actual name of it is a visit from 418 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 2: Saint Okay, all right, that I will agree. Most people 419 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: probably did not know that. Yes, I will give you credit. 420 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,399 Speaker 7: Most people probably did not know that, all right, So 421 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 7: please don't interrupt, but you are right. That is okay, 422 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 7: So well, all right, then let me complicate the whole 423 00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 7: thing even worse. The original title was not a visit 424 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 7: from Saint Nicholas. Original title, well, I believe was account 425 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 7: of a visit from Saint Nicholas, account of a visit 426 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 7: from Saint Nicholas, and it became a visit from Saint 427 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 7: Nicholas or twas the Night before Christmas, but I digress. 428 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 7: It emerged in eighteen twenty three. It was later attributed 429 00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 7: to Clement Clark Moore, who fourteen years later would claim 430 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 7: authorship in eighteen thirty seven. On the night of Christmas Eve, 431 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 7: a family is settling down to sleep when the father 432 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:42,639 Speaker 7: is disturbed by noises on the lawn. Looking out the window, 433 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 7: he sees Santy Claus or Saint Nicholas, in a sleigh 434 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 7: pulled by eight reindeer. After landing his sleigh on the roof, 435 00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 7: Santy Claus enters the house by sliding down the chimney. 436 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: He carries a. 437 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 7: Sack of toys, and the father watches his visitor deliver 438 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:11,960 Speaker 7: presents and fill the stockings hanging by the fireplace, and 439 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:17,040 Speaker 7: laughs to himself. They share a conspiratorial moment before Santa 440 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 7: bounds up the chimney again. As he flies away, Santa 441 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 7: Claus calls out Happy Christmas to all, and to all 442 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 7: a good night. While this poem has been read by many, 443 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 7: maybe your mother or your father, your grandmother, your grandfather, 444 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 7: a school teacher. Maybe you've seen it read by a 445 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 7: celebrity or a friend. But I don't know that there 446 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 7: is a better version than from the late Great Charlie Daniels. 447 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 7: We share it proudly with you now. 448 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:01,200 Speaker 1: Twas a night before Christmas, and all through the house 449 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The 450 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 1: stockings were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes 451 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: that Saint Nicholas soon would be there. The children were nestled, 452 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: all snugg in their beds, while visions of sugar plums 453 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,680 Speaker 1: danced in their heads, and Mom in her kerchief and 454 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 1: eyed my cap had just settled down for a long 455 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: winter nap, when out on the lawn there rose such 456 00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: a clatter, and I sprang from my bed to see 457 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 1: what was the matter. 458 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 2: I waited the window. I flew in a flash, and 459 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 2: I tore open a shutter. 460 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: And threw up the sash, and the moon on the 461 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 1: breast of the new fallen snow gave luster of midday 462 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 1: to the objects below. Then once, to my wondering eyes, 463 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,400 Speaker 1: should appear, But a miniature sleigh had eight tiny rain 464 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: here with a little old driver, so lively and quick, 465 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: and I knew in a moment that it must be 466 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: seen when it more rapid than eagles as courser as 467 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: they came, and. 468 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,200 Speaker 2: He whistled and shouted and called him by. 469 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Name, now Dasher, now dancer, now Prancer, now vixen. On 470 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: combat on Cuba, on Donner, on blissen to the top 471 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 1: of the porch, to the. 472 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: Top of the wall. 473 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,640 Speaker 1: Now dash away, dash away, dash away, all has dry 474 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: these before the wild hurricane fly when they meet with 475 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 1: an obstacle mountain to the sky, so up to the 476 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:32,840 Speaker 1: housetop the coursers. 477 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: They flew with a sleigh full of toys, and at 478 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 2: Saint Nicholas too.
