Speaker 1: na drinks. We're gonna predict futures. Yanni's gonna guide us

10
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: through predicting our futures by the Lavian tradition of melting

11
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: down lead and then thrown into a bucket. That's right.

12
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Then you take the lead out once it's cooled, and

13
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 1: you hold it up to a light and it casts

14
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: a hand puppet. Yeah, the buckets got some cold water

15
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: in it. If anybody's wanting how it cools down and

16
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: then you make it, hold it up and make a

17
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: hand puppet with it. That's right. And then the shape

18
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: tells you what's gonna happen to you. Well, not necessarily shape.

19
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: But everybody else in the room it's looking at the shape. Well,

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: then tell you what they see in that shape, and

21
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: tell you what's gonna happen to you next. I'll do

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: I'll do my own thanks. Uh okay uh. And we're

23
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: also filling in with our special song. And we got

24
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: a whole big thing to do. Most importantly that we

25
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: got to run through our introductions. I'm Anthony Locatta. When

26
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: someone says happy holidays, what comes to your mind? Um, Christmas?

27
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: When people say that, Christmas comes in mind. But I'm

28
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: a fourth July man, myself is the perfect holiday for fireworks,

29
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: hummer bonfires. Doesn't get any better than that. Cal, I'm

30
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Ryan Callahan and uh I had Yeah, I enjoy holidays,

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: but I like him for the time off. That's so

32
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 1: you like the ones that include some time off. Yeah,

33
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,919
Speaker 1: where I can go, you know, hunting and fishing, maybe

34
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: do some cooking and laundry and whatnot. I also wish

35
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: that everyone who heard this right now could see Cal. Oh,

36
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: Cal's got a elf get up on with big ears.

37
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: And I was just having a c w D. I

38
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: was having a chronic wastion disease conversation with Cal. And

39
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: there's two things tripped me up. One is it's hard

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: to argue with someone dressed up as the Elf. And two,

41
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: I was imagining that Cal had all these rein to

42
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: your friends and that his community was being annihilated by

43
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: c w D. And in the ways I wish that

44
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: would impact him emotionally. Yeah, not in your backyard, but

45
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: in mine. Um. Yeah, So I do think that I

46
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: like the ideas of like, you don't necessarily need to

47
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: hear Christmas or Hannik or or whatever when somebody says, hey, happy,

48
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: It's more like I give enough of a shit about

49
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: you to say I hope you have a good time

50
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: doing whatever. Well, what you could start doing is saying, uh,

51
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: if you're having some time off, I hope you enjoy it,

52
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: go outside, get enjoy, done, enjoy, enjoy or whatever time

53
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: off you might be getting from work. Shout that after him. Phil, Hey, yeah,

54
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: I I think of Christmas. I grew up with Christmas. Um,

55
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: love the smells, the food, the lights. Ye, hi, Steve,

56
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: my favorite holiday. When someone says happy holidays, or what

57
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 1: am I thinking of? I've already told you Winter Solstice?

58
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 1: You that one, Mark Kenyon, Yeah, you stole my thunder there,

59
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon, what you want to say? Go ahead next next,

60
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: Mark Kenyon here. Uh yeah, I'm a fan of Christmas

61
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: and being married for whatever you want to celebrate. But

62
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: I'll say that about Christmas, what I think it's got

63
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: over a lot of other Fourth of July type holidays

64
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: is the music. I'm a Christmas music man. You're you're

65
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,599
Speaker 1: a Billy Joel Man. I got pigeon holed into that unfairly.

66
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: When someone tell Billy Joel Man, you want to know

67
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: the rest of my their life when they're talking about music.

68
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: Do you want to know what I hear? M hmm

69
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 1: the piano, man, that's the noise that enters my head

70
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: when you talk about music. Now that I know you're

71
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: a Billy Joel Man, here's the thing, like the employment

72
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: where we said, Mark, what do you like? Mark said,

73
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: I like Billy Joel. That is not true. That's not

74
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: what happened. If I do recall, though, you listed off

75
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of Billy Joel songs just as many

76
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: as I could produce during that conversation. Yeah, but I

77
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: could also list my enemies fair enough. You can listen

78
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: like the Access Powers during World War two is me

79
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: not like them Christmas music though you like Christmas? Yeah,

80
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: I'm with you, Mark, Thank you. Sam. Wait, who's your

81
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: favorite Christmas artists? Billy Joel's Christmas? I know, Frank Sinatra,

82
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,560

83
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: my old man love because my man Sinatra, well, bright Eyes,

84
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: blue Eyes Eyes, that's not a bad band, but blue

85
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: Eyes he never wrote a thing. He never wrote a thing.

86
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: He just like would interpret people's songs whatever that means.

87
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: He did it his way. Steve, that's very true, all right, Sam, Hi,

88
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: my name is Samum. First time on the show, first

89
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: time on the show right now. But yeah, I mean

90
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: that's true with anything, that's the first time. Yeah it is.

91
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: When I think of holidays, I think of Christmas. We

92
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: were a typical Catholic family and went to church every Christmas.

93
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: Good for you. Now, I don't get gifts for anyone

94
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: for Christmas. You you like you. You wanted to strip

95
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,359
Speaker 1: the commercialism right out of it. Yeah, And I just

96
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: I'm not really a good gift giver, so I don't

97
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: really want to like give a gift that everyone's just

98
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: going to hate anyways. But this year I'm going to make.

99
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: I should just give um. I'm going to make jerky

100
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: from my deer this year. You know what my brother

101
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 1: made for everybody for Christmas this year? He bought a

102
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: thing to make. I think he makes fifty tubes at

103
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: a time. And he makes dear fat chapstick. Oh that's

104
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: a good idea with all natural deer fats, got bees

105
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: wax and various oils like essential oils, and he doesn't

106
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: believe in essential oils, but he uses it for his

107
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: chapstick and it's a wonderful product and he's able to

108
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: make fifty out of time and a special little two

109
00:06:55,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: holder he's got doing this stuff is yeah, he's not

110
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: selling them, and he didn't put glycering in it, so

111
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm worried about the shelf stability. That's a that's a

112
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: there's like I think it's glystener glysall or something. It's

113
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: like a food safe preserved. We just use it making

114
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: trapping bait, like you can start you can take some meat,

115
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: cat meat, whatever and wrote it down and then put

116
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: glycering in it to stop the rot. And remember it's

117
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: like a food safe deal. He's not using it, so

118
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: I don't know about the shelf stability. A dear tale

119
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: of chapstick. But dude, you put this on your lips.

120
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: It's good stuff man, Because he had to render it.

121
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: He rendered it out, put the bees wax in there,

122
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: put some aromatics in there, all natural, like, oh yeah,

123
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: it's like the Tom and Jerry's a chap stick man.

124
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: How is that not in the mediator store right now?

125
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 1: That seems like something we absolutely need to have. Well,

126
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: I think there's probably some kind of FDA component to it.

127
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: What does Tom and Jerry's of chapstick mean? Oh? How

128
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: they brag up how they got real simple ingredients bene

129
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: Jerry's with their Uncle Tom's deoderant? What's that de orderant? Times?

130
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: Confusing Times of Maine with the famous book Uncle Tom's Cabin.

131
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: My kids have been recently, so I was I didn't

132
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: know if those guys had a chapstick, you know what

133
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Maybe it's even Briars. Who is it

134
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: that has like they make a big deal out how

135
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: nothing's in the ice cream right, It's it's probably Ben Jerry.

136
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's start out. We're gonna make some drinks.

137

146
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 1: I know from reading Tom Robbins. What book is the

147
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: one that has the Tarzan's in Tom Robins novel where

148
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 1: he's going, Uh, it's like Tarzan is tripping on nutmeg

149
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 1: and he encounters Jesus in the desert. Oh sounds great.

150
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: See I know the drug reference from Malcolm X because

151
00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 1: when Malcolm gets thrown in the clink, like his uh

152
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: kind of mentor in there gets him level headed on

153
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: nutmeg and warns him it's it's the only don't ask

154
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: him for it again. Okay, Yeah, it trips you out.

155
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: It's like tricking robot using right. I don't know, but

156
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: Phil is going to read up on it, Phil, how

157
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: much nutmeg you gotta eat the trip this Christmas, this

158
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: holiday season. The thing is not actually a lot, but

159
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of nutmeg goes a long way if

160
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: you've had it. And so people there's a I looked

161
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 1: it up. People of there's um history of people tripping

162
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 1: on nutmeg, at least since like Dreds is the first

163
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: documented kind of a woman eight ten nutmegs, nuts, nutmeg, nuts,

164
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: and felts, and people were already tripping on it when

165
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 1: the Pilgrims came to America. Yeah. Um. And so the

166
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: reason is is that there's a there's a compound in

167
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: it called Mira Steyson which gets turned into a drug

168
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: called m M d A, which if it that sounds familiar,

169
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: there's a it's got a very close relative called m

170
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: D m A, which is ecstasy. Um. So when your

171
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: body's processing it, it changed the changes of the mirror

172
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 1: Styson and into this hallucinogenic drug. So yeah, it's it's okay.

173
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: So you're making some nutmeg, Yeah, and you got a

174
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 1: jar of It's hold the season. You make us some

175
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 1: nutmeg and you got a jar the little nuts, the megs.

176
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: How many of those. You need to eat before you're

177
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,839
Speaker 1: before you know your your aunt has like a snake

178
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 1: coming out of her nostril or something like that. If

179
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: it looks like probably probably about two or three to

180
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 1: really kind of feel it. Yeah, that's a lot of

181
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: last drunk by that point in time. So you had

182
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: ten nutmegs. I mean that's a lot of dedicated she

183
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: must have had a cow that put egg knock off.

184
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: Do you eat them or do you snort them? Or

185
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: you smoke them? I'm asking for friends. It's it's just eating. Um,

186
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: I feel like you just grind it up. Yeah. So,

187
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: I mean, so they're they're they're documented cases of of

188
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: of you know, kids just downing jars of ground nutmegs.

189
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I got one. I got one right now. I'm gonna

190
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:58,119
Speaker 1: take a no on. Okay, well we'll update throughout the podcast.

191
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: Let's see how you're doing. Oh yeah, that's got to

192
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: be very difficult meal to eat. Yeah, yeah, I'd have

193
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,959
Speaker 1: to snort it. Um. So yeah, you will feel a

194
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: little That's why no one, that's why everybody's not wasted

195
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: on Christmas. So you will get a little bit, but

196
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 1: I can't. Vomiting comes with the high. But it's it's

197
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: mostly they think it's non toxic. Like there's only been

198
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: one documented death from eating too much nutmegging. It was

199
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: from an eight year old kid who ate I think

200
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 1: three just three nutmegs and died. But that sounds like

201
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: it might have been something else going on as well

202
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: the holiday season when I happened to him. I don't know. Uh.

203
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: The other question we had is what's up with um

204
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: eating all kind of raw eggs? Because remember chips? And

205
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 1: I know you don't remember chips. I'm aware there are motorcycles, chips, chips.

206
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: There was a part of most episode where either Punch

207
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: or John I can't remember would drink It was like

208
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: a stick. That's Yiddish, I think, is that Yiddish stick? Ye,

209
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: that's the Yiddish. Trying to keep multicultural here. Stick was

210
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:16,960
Speaker 1: to drink a glass of eggs. You guys remember this?

211
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: You do? How did he avoid being sick all the time?

212
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: So a reading roy eggs the main that when you're

213
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: going on back there makes a magnet speed ro so

214
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: there people think that it can the egg whites can

215
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 1: block absorb absorption of vitamin D seven go on, but

216
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 1: that's not a really high concerned. The main concern is

217
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: actually just Sam and ella. That's the only thing that

218
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: people are concerned about with ry eggs is that, um,

219
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: it's just the higher higher chance of salmonella. The nutmeg

220
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: and my mouth is ruining my Christmas special special goodness

221
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: to this that he ate raw eggs for years. That's how,

222
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: That's how chips does it. And I actually don't think

223
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: that it does make you sick because my mom, when

224
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: I was a little boy, made our own That was

225
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 1: one of our traditionstions was to eat raw eggs. No

226
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 1: one ever got sick. What kind of tradition was that,

227
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 1: h I'm sorry, No, she would make egg dog. Yeah,

228
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: it was like for for Christmas Eve, she would make

229
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: egg dog out of eggs. And then we didn't all

230
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: just sit around puking and messing our pants. You go

231
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 1: to a nice restaurant, you have steak tartar was a

232
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: raw egg and that Yeah, that's good point. Sam thoughts

233
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: about that, Well, it's just the raw yoke. I thought

234
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: it was the egg white that was the issue. The

235
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: egg white is the thing that might block absorption vitamin B.

236
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: But that's an issue either way. Quick quick correction. While

237
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: we while we while the drinks get made, Colt this

238
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: pertains YouTube. Um in keeping with the holiday holiday theme, here, uh,

239
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: we have a craction coming from our friend. Uh. He

240
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 1: sent it as an inform of a Christmas card, where

241
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 1: Doug Durn sent into correction and I told him if

242
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: he could to try to make it fit with our

243
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: Christmas episode, that he could give it a Christmas theme.

244
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: So he's he's including it as a gift. And it

245
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: has to do with his annoyance when people say, particularly

246
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: when I always say cut corn meaning I was hunting

247
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: out in a cut corn field, or when are they

248
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: gonna cut that corn? So uh, here's Doug's correction, which

249
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: he sent to us as a nice little audio file.

250
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: And Doug, I will point out, in the entire history

251
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: of this show, in the entire history of this program,

252
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: only one person is that true, Yanni, Only one person

253
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: has ever been given call in credentials. I believe that

254
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: could be true, Dug Durn. Yeah, here is hey, Steve.

255
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: It's Dug during calling to wish you your family and

257
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: and a prosperous look forward. The next time we're together,

258
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,400
Speaker 1: also called to make a little correction cut corn. Don't

259
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: like that expression. It's incorrect. It sounds foolish. Ah, corn

260
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: is either chopped, picked, or shelled when it's harvested. What's

261
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: left in the field is corn, stubble, corn fodder, or

262
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 1: even more correctly, corn stover. The stubble is the stuff

263
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: that's left when they chop it off, and the fodder

264
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: and the stover is the stuff that's left when they

265
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: just take the ears of corn or the shelled corn.

266
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: So please, in the future, can you make that correction?

267
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: Got me pulling my hair out. Thanks and happy holidays. Okay,

268
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: Colt when you heard that, I know he emailed that.

269
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,800
Speaker 1: Initially emailed deck playing. I felt that you rolled over

270
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: like a dog. How so did you read my response? Yeah,

271
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: you said never again in my life or something like that. No,

272
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: I said, he said, please in the future, like make

273
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: this correction, and I said I will not, And then

274
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: I am going to stand by cut corn. You said, yeah,

275
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: cal said never in my life. I thought he meant.

276
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: I thought he rolled over like a dog and meant

277
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: never in my life. While I use that phrase again, No, No,

278
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: I I ad meant I'm sticking by a cut corn. Oh,

279
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: I see I could. I capitulated. I capitulated, and I

280
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: was like, man, he's right, what do I know? I'm

281
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: no farmer and I'm not. And then I called him

282
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: to hear him out on it. And I happened to

283
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 1: be driving around when someone who's got quite a egg

284
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,240
Speaker 1: background and they were listening in on my call with

285
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 1: dog and he says, well, it's not concorn. I don't

286
00:17:58,600 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: know what the hell it because I've been calling it

287
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,880
Speaker 1: that my entire life. And this guy knows his way

288
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 1: around a cornfield. And I noticed too in Doug's thing

289
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,959
Speaker 1: he catches if you listen carefully, uh, until you can

290
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: patch us in. Doug is forming a sentence and he

291
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: there's a slight pause. He's like, and when they get

292
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: done chopping the corn, there's a slight fauce because he

293
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 1: almost like, the more I listened to, the more I

294
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,200
Speaker 1: catch it. He almost says, cut the corn, but corrects

295
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: himself and swings are hit played again. Phil. The stubble

296
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 1: is the stuff that's left when they chop it off.

297
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 1: There's not all over damn place now. Now it's like Cristmas.

298
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,439
Speaker 1: This place already smells. This place is gonna smell like

299
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 1: that's gonna smell like folks. And uh, for some reason,

300
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: all I can picture is somebody missing a finger and

301
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 1: you're like, hey, well what happened to your finger? It's like,

302
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: oh got cut off. No, ially, here's chop and the

303
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,680
Speaker 1: thing that's left is the stover instead of the chop.

304
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: But you know, I think that, But you give your

305
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: theory about how where dogs coming from? And I love

306
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: Doug More. I told you I love Doug More. I

307
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 1: love Yoanni. I feel like there was a little pause

308
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:25,239
Speaker 1: in that sense too. Um. I feel like maybe just

309
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: and this is just just kind of a random theory

310
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,239
Speaker 1: that I just thought of five minutes ago, is that

311
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: maybe Doug's thinking is because where Doug comes from, there's

312
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: like a little region there around Casinova. It's a population

313
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: and like half of them are Durrance. And like you

314
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: said earlier, he there's cousins around that he doesn't even

315
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: know that exists, and they's got Rhodes named after him. Yeah,

316
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: maybe just there in that region, it's because it would

317
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 1: be like he could say this in my family, we

318
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: say chopped corn, because that would be synonymous with in

319
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: my community. Yes, geez, Doug, you're a big guy. What

320
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: do you mean. Everybody's built this way? Every time dog

321
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: goes out of tow him. These people are small. On

322
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to

323
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: me swirl a crockpot. On the second day of Christmas,

324
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 1: my true love game to me two smokes sirrel a croco.

325
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave

326
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: to me three pripers, two smoke press and a swirl

327
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 1: and croco. Damn that boy, I can think. Man, the

328
00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: annunciation is not good. Do you know that they're saying

329
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: coot breasts. I just tripped out about the one the

330
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: coop breasts, which is rough, but the rest are very clear.

331
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 1: That's off to the choir. It's really good singing. Yeah,

332
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 1: he's in the choir. Yeah, and he really regards himself

333
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 1: as regards himself pretty highly as a caroler, as maybe

334
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: a lover of Caroline, but not as a caroler. Oh,

335
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I never made that distinction. Yeah. Like earlier, I was

336
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 1: on the phone with my mother talking about latvian Um

337
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 1: Christmas folk songs, so I'm gonna have to sing one

338
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,920
Speaker 1: for you later, and we kind of settled on one.

339
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: And because I wanted the one that had the right. Um,

340
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: what's it called? Is it called a refrain in English?

341
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 1: Like the things sing over and over at the end

342
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 1: of a segment. Of course, of course there's the chorus.

343
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: What's the refrain? Refrain would be that thing that comes

344
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: at the tail end of the song that you insert

345
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:59,679
Speaker 1: that's a little We didn't start the fire anyways. So

346
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: she's sang the melody. I saying the melody. She's saying

347
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: the melody and finally said like, yeah, I think you

348
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: got it. But she says, you know it's gonna be

349
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 1: the most important for you is that maybe someone else

350
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: sort of sets the tone or that where you're supposed

351
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: to start, and then you go from there like, well,

352
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: only there's anyby in the room, it's gonna know the

353
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: tune for see that being a cord. Yeah, so he's

354
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: he's a caroling enthusiast rather than a good caroler. Phil

355
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: Who else is in the choir? Oh? Man, Yeah, I did,

356
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 1: there was HANSI. Philip was like our conductor. He's a

357
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,399
Speaker 1: music man. Flip flushers and lushers in there. Did you

358
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,400

Speaker 1: accentuate his his part did you at the down listening

360
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 1: back to the files. I'm not even positive he was singing.

361
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: I think he was just there for show. He was

362
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: probably just mouthings. So old. Do you know who Milli

363
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 1: Vanilli is? I know the name. I need to tune

364
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: in and get new references for culture. I had tickets

365
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: to see Billy Vanilly right before they got If you

366
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: want a slightly more modern reference, he could say, like

367
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: like Ashley Simpson on SNL, thank you, Yeah, yeah, like that, okay,

368

Speaker 1: the way things were. Are you guys feeling this Nutmeg? No?

370
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: You know, I like man, but see, I'm like that

371
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: when people tell me about a disease, I feel like

372
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: I got it their day. My body was telling about

373
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,160
Speaker 1: his body, who's the capillaries and his fingers are dying

374
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: and so he has a real hard time keeping his

375
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: fingers warm. And the whole time he's telling me, I'm

376
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 1: trying to He's like all the time about how sad

377
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: he is for his body because this is like could

378
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: be like a terminal thing. But I'm not even listening

379
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: to anything. I'm not caring about the body. I'm just

380

00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: how's that. That's a good one like MA used to make.

Speaker 1: Oh that's good. That's better. Mas. There you go, Okay,

416
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: drinking hand, We're gonna we're gonna move on. Um real quick. Uh.

417
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: What you guys have like um holiday? You know, food traditions,

418
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: culinary traditions. Yes, they're not. They're not necessarily uh you know,

419
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 1: centering around wild game. I haven't started that yet. My neighbor,

420
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 1: on the other hand, though, has smoked deer ham He's

421
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: a new hunter, only killed two deer and smoked deer

422
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: hand the last two years in a row. And the

423
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: other night told me he's gonna that's gonna be his

424
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: uh Thanksgiving tradition. Just smoked deer hams. That was pretty cool,

425
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: but no, for me, it's um. Pepercucas and pete dog

426
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: be dogs. Pep cucas are Latvian ginger bread cookies, but

427
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 1: they don't look or taste like the gingerbread that there's

428
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 1: ginger in there, which is why I use that um comparison.

429
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 1: But they're very thin wafers. There's a cookie out there

430
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: called the Moravian Christmas cookie if anybody's had those, and

431
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: that's like the closest store bought thing I've ever seen.

432
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: Um to Latvian gingerbread cookies actually means pepper cookie. Um. Yeah,

433
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 1: so they're very spicy with black pepper, lots of ginger thin. Um.

434
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: My great uncle used to love all the burnt ones

435
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 1: because every year you get a pan that's burnt in there. Anyways,

436
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: we make those. We kind of in Christmas shapes with

437
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: a little uh you know, so what would pass as

438
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: a Christmas shape among the folks. A tree, It looks

439
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: like a fir tree, star, a moon traditional, Yeah, moons,

440
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: We had a lot of moons. Huh. You gotta stick

441
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: of a moon as a Christmas shape because Santa flies

442
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: over across it. No, I would say, because the um

443
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: moon is somehow helping along the sun to come back alive. Yeah,

444
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: buy that our holiday. We had two holiday things. One

445
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 1: was how's it going? Ran taken a lot? One was

446
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: not ours but every year old woman. You know how

447
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: when you're a little kid, you have grandparents Day at school. Yeah,

448
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 1: our grandparents lived too far away and then they were dead.

449
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: But we had fake grandparents that would show up for

450
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,400
Speaker 1: grandparents Day. Vivia Um Kokoma and what was your old

451
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: man's name? And these folks were just Barney and Vivian

452

00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,959
Speaker 1: be our grandparents. Nicest people on the planet. Vivian Kokoma

454
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 1: would always have my dad give her a deer neck

455
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 1: or two. She would take the deer necks cook him

456
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 1: down and make mince meat pie filling, and then she

457
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: would jar the mince meat pie filling in glass jars,

458
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: and then she would wrap a ribbon around it, and

459
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: then on Christmas she would bring it around and give

460
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,239
Speaker 1: it out as Christmas presents and we would get a jar.

461
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 1: Smellman gave her the neck. But that was one thing.

462
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: But the main uh culinary tradition is my mom would

463
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: make this thing called sticky buns. It's like you cook

464

467
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: sugar and caramel on the bottom. Then you flip it

468
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: over and all the you know, shiploads of caramel and

469
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: all the stuff that settled to the bottom is then

470
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: on top and it dries and you wake up and

471
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:43,160

503
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's lots of good food, but there's always

506
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: Are you familiar with that? I made out of hog's blood? No,

507
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: This was like very confusing as a child because it's

508
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: called Yorkshire pudding. But it comes out and uh, it's

509
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: like that it's a muffing that's burned on top and

510
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: then it has kind of like a custardy consistency when

511
00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: you like pull the top off. And ours were always

512
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: like a very savory thing, so you put like you'd

513
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: like use it to like mop up meat juice because

514
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: we're always always making beef with How can you have

515
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 1: any pudding if you don't eat your meat. You're like,

516
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm dipping my meat and my pudding. Yes, but as

517
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: a kid, you're like, this is a muffing. Where's the pudding?

518
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, get all excited. The kids are like it

519
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,360

520
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: So I eat this and then the pudding comes. But yeah,

521
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: that that's one of those like Christmas eat type. Thanks Sam,

522
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 1: anything I would say. Unfortunately, my family wasn't the most traditional.

523
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: I think the biggest tradition was we changed it up

524
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: every single year. But the one thing that we would

525
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: always get is eggnog, but we never made it. We

526
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 1: always bought the Southern comfort eggnog. Have you that? So

527
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 1: it was premixed. So when you guys are in high school,

528
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: did you guys call it soco? Oh yeah, definitely. And

529
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 1: so this is bringing me back. Thanks. This is much

530
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: better than the store bought. Believably good, Very good, Karin,

532
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: do it again. It's the best eggnog drink I've ever

533
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: had in my entire life. It is very good. Agreed. Unfortunately,

535
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:55,200

560
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 1: of depended on the year. Sometimes we would get together

561
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: as a family, just the three of us. I don't

562
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,359

00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: Jews normally do for Christmas is they go out and

568
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: eat Chinese food because Chinese are open. I've actually participated

569
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: in that one time. So sometimes that is a tradition.

570
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 1: And sometimes it's gotten together with the Jewish side of

571

Speaker 1: celebrate hanaka. It's an eight day thing. Um. But yeah,

574
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 1: so kind of just depend upon the year. You know.

575
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 1: One time you don't know this, but I'll tell you, Okay,

576
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: one time because of the International Dateline and an airplane,

Speaker 1: and they're like, and it timed out where the essentially

580
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: was no Christmas Day that year? Was that? Was that

581
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: the worst year of your life? Was that the worst? No?

582
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:56,680

Speaker 1: It's a Christmas gift story in your tradition story. It's

642
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: my tradition to tell the story of a year in

643
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: the presence of my brother because it makes them so depressed.

644
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: When I was a little kid, they had a thing

645
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: called Secret Santa's Workshop. You gets familiar with this what

646
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,960
Speaker 1: it was it was It was a venue for children

647
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 1: who didn't have access to um a vehicle to go

648
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: shopping for their family in such a way that their

649
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 1: family wouldn't know what they got him. Because when you're

650
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,160
Speaker 1: a little kid, how do you go shopping for your mom?

651
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: Pre buying shot on the internet? You're picturing how trouble,

652
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 1: how hard it be right because your mom takes you

653
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,799
Speaker 1: to the store. How do you ever get your moms

654
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,880
Speaker 1: something so thank you? That in Mikey's Elementary now it's

655
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: a it's a fundraiser kind of a deal and it's

656
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 1: called Secret Santa's Workshop. I think they omit Secret just

657
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 1: saying his workshop. Yeah, maybe I added that, so you're

658
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: you get you Still it's still kind of like, it's

659
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: still kind of conns your mom a little bit because

660
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: you still gotta get money from your parents. But you

661
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: bring the money down and you get credit, and you

662
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 1: buy junk for your family, and you could get like

663
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:52,239
Speaker 1: a jib when I was looking, you could get like

664
00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: a gigantic racer, all kinds of stuff. I kind of

665
00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 1: blew all my money and I didn't get my brother

666
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: Matt anything, and so I got Matt a sheriff's a

667
00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:06,000
Speaker 1: plastic sheriff's badge shaped like a star. Uh. I was

668
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 1: really excited about it. That night at dinner, my mom asked,

669
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: how was saying his workshop, to which Matt replies, it

670
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 1: was so stupid. In fact, it was so stupid that

671
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:26,240
Speaker 1: they sold little plastic sheriff's badges. I was so upset.

672
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 1: I ran into the living room and wept. Wept. He

673
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:34,759
Speaker 1: felt so bad that to try to make me feel better,

674
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 1: he promised me and actually went through with this where

675
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: he and I would start a pin collection based off

676
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 1: his new sheriff's badge pin. I like to tell that

677
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 1: story ever here, just to make him depressed all over again.

678
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 1: Uh so did he follow through? Do you guys have

679
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:55,600
Speaker 1: a little collection? No, I think that we did actually

680
00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 1: start a short lived little pin collection as part of

681
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: him being like I was wrong. I don't you know,

682
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: I didn't see the potential. In fact, we could start

683
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 1: a collection and this sheriff's badge could be the first.

684
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: That's great step, that's a good story. So it's yeah,

685
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: I think it's the most depressing thing in the world.

686
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 1: You like it? Yeah? Good ending When I tell it,

687
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:23,840
Speaker 1: he just uh, it's I hope he's listening. The ruins

693
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: Remember we're talking about the guy that thought his aunt

Speaker 1: was fairly attractive. Yeah, not that guy, but another guy.

695
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: His aunt came to blow up now when he went

Speaker 1: junk with flip up urinating tip, he says. He says,

703
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 1: it's real nice on cold days when you're ice fishing

704
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,839
Speaker 1: or glass and freezing your balls off. Another guy wrote

705
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 1: in that his dad gave him a four ten with

706
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,000
Speaker 1: a bent barrel when he was a kid and told

707
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:33,919
Speaker 1: him that it helped him out in the long run.

708
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,279
Speaker 1: Guy said from his grandmother in law three years in

709
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 1: a row running now has received the same piggy bank

710
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: that is in the shape of a butt and farts

711
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: when you put coins in it. Guy rolled into the

712
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: guy gave him a beaver tail. Guy rode in that

713
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,160
Speaker 1: former in laws, he says, for I was people are well.

714
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 1: I feel like get so many letters to people who

715
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,399
Speaker 1: allude to having gotten a divorce, Like he points out,

716
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: my former in laws they didn't know anything about hunting

717
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,080
Speaker 1: or fishing, and but they always want to buy him

718
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 1: presence that he thought he would like, and he says,

719
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 1: looking back on it, it felt as though their shopping

720
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 1: strategy was to ram shopping carts into the shelves at

721
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: Cabela's and get him whatever happened to fall in the cart.

722
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 1: I feel like that was a good piece of writing

723
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 1: When I read that, I really, I really like that,

724
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: because immediately I was there picturing how he got his presence.

725
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: They got him at one time, a camo do rag.

726
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 1: He got a deer drag system. He gotta wind up lantern.

727
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: He got a cough silencer, and he got he got

728
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 1: an apple sent to deer lure that he was afraid

729
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: to put anywhere that deer could actually eat it because

730
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: it was poisonous. Uh. Guy got his aunt and uncle

731
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:54,399
Speaker 1: gave him socks with their pictures on them. So he says,

732
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: every time he opens his sock drawer, quote, there they're

733
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 1: watching me. Dude got some sweatpants that were designed to

734
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: look like blue jeans. Uh do, said his wife. He

735
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 1: told his wife he needed hunting pants. She told her

736
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,759
Speaker 1: in laws he needed hunting pants, and so they got

737
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,279
Speaker 1: him a pair of sweats. They had pictures of deer

738
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 1: on him. These are all great white elephant gift ideas.

739
00:46:19,160 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 1: My dad used to do this thing where he'd like,

740
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 1: give you a full body goose decoy to like add

741
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:28,560
Speaker 1: to the to the spread, and you're like, yes, full

742
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,960
Speaker 1: bodied use decoy, this is great. And then he'd be

743
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: like yeah you like that. Yeah, and he'd be like,

744
00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: so maybe you could uh do a little bit better

745
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: on the grades this year. And it always left kind

746
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,280
Speaker 1: of being like, God, I wish we didn't do presence.

747
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:48,439
Speaker 1: What did he mean that, like if you got straight a's,

748
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:51,759
Speaker 1: he might get a dozen. You know, I never read

749
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,880
Speaker 1: into it very much or it got straight a's or

750
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: got straight as. So I never never figured out, you know,

751
00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: he just was holding it out there that things could

752
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: get spectacular. What did you think that was the best one, Johnny?

753
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 1: My favorite out of all the worst Christmas present um

00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: that came in on the old Instagram was a guy

755
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: got a I believe this actually came in more than once,

756
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:17,400
Speaker 1: that a guy got a half of a bottle of

757
00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 1: whiskey with a bow on it. What happened the other half?

758
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,759
Speaker 1: Come on, That's the best part of present is that

759
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: you you think about it a second and you realize

760
00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: what happened the night before? Oh yeah, I got you?

761
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: So yeah. I guess it could be a trip, It

762
00:47:37,080 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 1: could be a sad story for some people. But I

763
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,719
Speaker 1: like to think about how someone like, Yeah, let's get

764
00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 1: Yann whiskey, and then a while later, wow, whiskey, let's

765
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 1: drink a little bit. He's whiskey, he'll be he'll be

766
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: happy with half a bottle. You know what was very

767
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:55,600
Speaker 1: on Yanni about that? Did you say half empty? I

768
00:47:55,600 --> 00:47:58,319
Speaker 1: feel like you're a half fold guy, and then you

769
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: just said half bottle of whiskey. Uh? Yeah, you know

770
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: what I'm getting. I used to running that thing over there. Good,

771
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: that's it, Sam. What what's the worst um gift you

772
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 1: ever got? I mean, I think it depends how you

773
00:48:21,640 --> 00:48:24,600
Speaker 1: look at it, because it's not really the worst, but

774
00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 1: it's definitely the most random. Um right before I moved

775
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: to You know what, that's a that's a generational word random. Yeah,

776
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:41,800
Speaker 1: because people my age don't don't they know what random means.

777
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: Something happened and then something happened, and people like ten

778
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,640
Speaker 1: or more years younger in me have no idea what

779
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 1: the word random means. Okay, so what do you want

780
00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: me to describe it as an odd gift? Odd gift? Um,

781
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:03,399
Speaker 1: I'm never going to get up, Okay, so you gotta

782
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 1: as you folks say, you gotta random meaning okay, actually

783
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,799
Speaker 1: it was random because she never sent gifts and then

784
00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: just one random years I think it would be odd, okay, unusual, unusual,

785
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: just sent me a gift and um, it was a

786
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: taser and a box of condoms. That's great, she uh

787
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: getting at um, what's the order of operations here? Which

788
00:49:31,920 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: goes first? Did she give you one? You know, when

789
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,000
Speaker 1: you're giving someone like I'll say, you're giving someone a

790
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: baby gun and babies, you'd be like, do no, don't

791
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 1: open that, open that one first. So well, she had

792
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,440
Speaker 1: the taser in the condoms, so she's like, no, no no,

793
00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: the lit ruin it. Open that one first. Well no,

794
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,479
Speaker 1: she wasn't even present for the opening and the gift

795
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,279
Speaker 1: and she you know, had them all together in one

796
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: big package basically not that big. And when you said

797
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 1: later and you when you called her, did you call

798
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 1: her write a note to thank you? Thank you my

799
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: mom was very important to my mom that we do that,

800
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:10,520
Speaker 1: we write and you said, um, I really appreciated the

801
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: condoms and not the taser. Did she get confused because

802
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 1: your name is Samantha, but you go by sam Oh,

803
00:50:20,520 --> 00:50:23,719
Speaker 1: that would actually be ye? Was she kind of like,

804
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Speaker 1: was she kind of distant, very distant, very distant. Yeah,

805
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 1: she saw your like some guy named Sam, but it

806
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: was very weak, much more a week very virile, a

807
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 1: week virale that gl How did that make sense to you?

808
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: That's just the logical conclusion. I could come to form

809
00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 1: a birth control appropriate to a gender appropriate birth control

810
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: for him and in a taser in case he was weak.

811
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:02,360
Speaker 1: Things when I saw her in less, things get random

812
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: month and things got random with this guy, and I

813
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 1: had to taste him. Well, I haven't how to use

814
00:51:10,640 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 1: the taste yet, it had to charge it properly, and

815
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,239
Speaker 1: he was just like setting her off for best and

816
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: worst case scenario. She's like when you go to the bar,

817
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: I shoot things I always like to bring with me,

818
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 1: and I just lay him on the bar kind of

819
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: I let the night run its course. Karn, we're gonna

820
00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 1: talk about Hanica for a minute. Just keep this in

821
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:51,960
Speaker 1: the spirit of the holidays. And how do you get

822
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: eight presents? Do you feel that they did that so

823
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 1: they could kind of like best the Christians? Well, who

824
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: just get press it's for like Christmas, even Christmas morning? Right,

825
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,120
Speaker 1: So historically, um, Hanukah does not really have a tradition

826
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: of gift giving, I know, and then kids felt bummed.

827
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 1: My guess is that kids were bummed and they're like, oh,

828
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: you want to do presents, all right, we'll do eight days,

829
00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 1: will best you? Will best you by a multiple of four? Yeah, yeah,

830
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: which is quite significant. Um. So a lot of Jewish

831
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:29,719
Speaker 1: children get many presents over the course of many days.

832
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 1: Over right, it's like eight Christmas. So then it used

833
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: to be that the Christian kids were laughing at them,

834
00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,680
Speaker 1: but now they laugh at the Christian Now, yeah, how

835
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:40,879
Speaker 1: did they get start presents? Do you know? Like, I'm

836
00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:45,919
Speaker 1: what years? Um? Well, what I've read, um is that

837
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,200
Speaker 1: when Christmas became a national holiday in the United States

838
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:53,920
Speaker 1: and the late nineteenth century, there was a shift to

839
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,680
Speaker 1: gift giving for Hanukah. So when you're a little girl,

840
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: would you get them? Sometimes? Um? Well, that builds a

841
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 1: big expectation. Then they fall off the next year. You know.

842
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:09,960
Speaker 1: My family was really inconsistent with things. So sometimes my

843
00:53:10,080 --> 00:53:13,960
Speaker 1: father might light a couple of candles during the eight days,

844
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,279
Speaker 1: but he might skip like a day or two, and

845
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: sometimes I would get Hanukkah gilts, which is the the chocolate,

846
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:27,040
Speaker 1: and then sometimes yeah, sometimes kind of waxy chocolate. Yeah yeah,

847
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,359
Speaker 1: it's like probably really corn syrapy. It's normally like milk

848
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: chocolate doesn't really I like dark chocolate. But um yeah,

849
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,839
Speaker 1: so we were we were inconsistent with celebrating that. So

850
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: sometimes I might get multiple presents sometimes, you know, but

851
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:45,040
Speaker 1: they never they never rolled out for you all eight

852
00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: Uh no, no, not consistently and that and that was

853
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 1: fine with me. I I wasn't like a huge like

854
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,480
Speaker 1: give me gifts. I would like to think that I

855
00:53:55,560 --> 00:54:01,799
Speaker 1: was not a super spoiled on. We're gonna do a

856
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 1: thing for for people. We're gonna do like a hanka. Yeah,

857
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,439
Speaker 1: do you spell with the or the ah? So there,

858
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:14,480
Speaker 1: so I don't. I don't speak Hebrew, but the transliteration

859
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: I think there's kind of still a uh back and

860
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 1: forth between spelling it h A n u k k

861
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: A h and then c h A n u k

862
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: a H. Do you want to hear me speak Hebrew?

863
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: Go ahead, baruke out of time, No, breuke out of time.

864
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that's what. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Did that

865
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,480
Speaker 1: were you pretty impressed? Yeah? That's pretty good. Do it again?

866
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yes, yes, that's not even remotely Hebrew I

867
00:54:54,920 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: just heard that the other day. So let's say, let's

868
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: say for our Jewish, our Jewish listeners who like to

869
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,800

00:55:16,160 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 1: with a severed unicorn's head strapped to his backpack and

878
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,080
Speaker 1: nome reeling in the mermaid shirt, which is as we

879
00:55:37,080 --> 00:55:39,840
Speaker 1: emerged as a somewhat controversial shirt. We've talked about this.

880
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:41,839
Speaker 1: It's a gnome, it's created the same gnome that caught

881
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:45,480
Speaker 1: that killed the unicorn is out fishing and he's reeling

882
00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: in a mermaid who's fighting hard. Uh. Some people have

883
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 1: thought that that it's that it's suggestive that people eat

884
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 1: mermaid meat, and they felt that it's controversial. I've I

885
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:01,160
Speaker 1: don't know what's happening between the Nome and the mermaid.

886
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: Um almost as it's a it's a land of fantasy. Almost.

887
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,719
Speaker 1: My brother looked at it and he thought that the

888
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: mermaid was gonna pull the Noman and eat the gnome. Um.

889
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: I thought that it was an elaborate courtship ritual. But

890
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: either way, it's a gnome real or mermaid. We also

891
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 1: have for the fifth day of Honiky, you get a

892
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:25,240
Speaker 1: Lavian Eagle T shirt genuine Joanna's T shirt. UM. Explain

893
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 1: the Lavin eagle logo. M hmm, I didn't prepare for

894
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:36,240
Speaker 1: this one. Um. It's an eagle, uh, symbolizes the Latvian eagle.

895
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: And then it's it's sort of like the it's we used.

896
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 1: There's a crest. There's a Latvian crest that we used

897
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: the three stars from and the three stars represented the

898
00:56:46,040 --> 00:56:49,439
Speaker 1: three regions of Latvia, so that's part of it. Um.

899
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: And then it says the Latvia Eagle and meteor on it.

932
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: that's what I said. Maybe I missed out candles, candles,

933
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: burn candles in the windows sitting there with all that

934
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,040
Speaker 1: media to merch. You know, I was gonna mention that

935
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 1: I think that it levels out because the Jewish kids

936
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:57,080
Speaker 1: that I knew growing up, they didn't get presents. Every

937
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 1: evening they got a present, and so at the end

938
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:03,520
Speaker 1: of it they got eight presents. Um, there's a lot. Yeah,

939
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 1: you don't think your kids are getting eight presents a

940
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: piece Christmas morning. Well, Sandy Claws brings some mom and

941
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: dad brings some Grandma brings a pickupload. Now, the kids

942
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 1: that really make out, the kids that really make out

943
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 1: are the ones that have a Christian mother or father

944
00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: and a Jewish mother or father like my buddy Saul

945
00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:29,000
Speaker 1: from high school that you've met, roll right through eight

946
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: days of Hanakah and then be like sweet, wonder of

947
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: what's going to be under this, like another truckload of presents. Yeah,

948
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: he imagine the to merge that duke as a child

949
00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 1: of divorce. I can say that was pretty lucrative as well,

950
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 1: because they're they're trying to outdo each other. It was great.

951
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,919
Speaker 1: You did you did? You play it too? Like, Oh,

952
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: you're pretty special. I mean, now, dad, I mean not

953
00:59:52,920 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: like that, but I mean, you're pretty special. I wasn't

954
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: that bad. I spent so many years living out of

955
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: my truck that I could never quite get across the

956
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: fact that I couldn't. I I enjoyed the thought behind presence,

957
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,000
Speaker 1: but I couldn't really accept the presence because I'd be like,

958
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: this is a great frame picture. Um, it's gonna look

959
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: awesome on your wall, and I'll appreciate it whenever I'm here. Oh,

960
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: because yeah, I'm I supposed to like screw it to

961
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:28,440
Speaker 1: the ref of my truck. Okay, So you know, when

962
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: everybody gets their presence anything, this is true for people

963
01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 1: who celebrate Hanaka or Christmas, everybody's gonna get their presence

964
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: and um inevitably. Do you know many people who for

965
01:00:38,840 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: Hana could get gift cards? Um? Sure, yeah, I guess

966
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 1: that's like one of the days that your parents are

967
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 1: just like they got No, they're just played out. Just

968
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 1: take a gift card. Everybody gets gift cards and then

969
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: everybody gets returns. So you know, you get an Amazon

970
01:00:56,680 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 1: gift card whatever, um, or you get something stupid and

971
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:03,400
Speaker 1: you return it and you get a cash credit. So

972
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 1: that leaves you in the awkward position. And also you

973
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: might be listening to this after Christmas, so none of

974
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: this has any relevancy to you. But you're sitting there

975
01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,520
Speaker 1: with a gift card. You got an Amazon gift card,

976
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: so now you're wondering whoy And I don't know what

977
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 1: to do with my gift card. So now Mark Kenyon

978
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,560
Speaker 1: are very special and lovely Mark Kenyon is gonna have

979
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: a suggestion for what one might do with their gift

980
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 1: card this holiday season. Just a shameless plug. Yeah, sell

981
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:30,040
Speaker 1: me on it. Mark's much anticipated book, You could pick

982
01:01:30,160 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: up That Wild Country, an epic journey through the past

983
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,480
Speaker 1: present in future of America's public lands. Yeah, I wrote

984
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 1: a book. The first time we tried to bring this

985
01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: book up, Mark got um. He felt there was something

986
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: bad would happen if he talked about it too earlyishers

987
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 1: or something. But it's out it's out there, that wild country.

988
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 1: Tell us her, tell us all about it. Mark put

989
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:57,080
Speaker 1: a Christmas spin on it. Oh boy, now you're throwing

990
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,840
Speaker 1: me for a loop. I would try something like this,

991
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 1: would say, everyone knows the joy of receiving a great gift. Well,

992
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:10,360
Speaker 1: there's no greater gift than America's public lands. This is

993
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 1: very true. By something like that, But just to to

994
01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 1: get a gift means one thing. But to understand the

995
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,560
Speaker 1: thought behind that gift, maybe let's call the history behind

996
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: that gift, it means that much more. And that's what

997
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 1: I try to do with this book. I do my best.

998
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's too complicated for people, but it's good.

999
01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 1: It's good. The cliff notes on the book was that

1000
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:37,439
Speaker 1: I love public lands, but didn't understand how we got

1001
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 1: these places. You know, yeah, you wondered, you know, how

1002
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 1: do we get to this point that there was such

1003
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a contentious issue, and that I had places I go hunt,

1004
01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,840
Speaker 1: fish camp, etcetera. So I decided, if I didn't know

1005
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 1: that story, if I didn't understand how we got to

1006
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: this point, there's probably a lot of other people out

1007
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 1: there who were in the same boat, especially if you

1008
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: didn't live in the middle of them stay here in Montana.

1009
01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 1: Um So, I started diving into that myself, trying to

1010
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 1: understand that story, that history and what was going on presently,

1011
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: and then went and spend as much time as I

1012
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 1: possibly could in those places to kind of have a

1013
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 1: physical context for that. How many states did you travel to?

1014
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,800
Speaker 1: At least eight or two and ten I think for

1015
01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:24,280
Speaker 1: that um So, Yeah, ranging from Montana packcrafting and fly fishing,

1016
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 1: the Bob Marshall Wilderness up to the up of Michigan

1017
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:33,040
Speaker 1: backpacking Picture Rocks, down into Arizona and utah Um north

1018
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: south east west, a little bit of everything, everything from

1019
01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: hunting and fishing to backpacking and camping and peak backing.

1020
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: When you were doing the book, did you, um as

1021
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: you're doing all your research all along, were you thinking like, oh,

1022
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:46,720
Speaker 1: that makes sense, so that makes sense? Or did you

1023
01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 1: hit some parts You're like what? There were definitely moments

1024
01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 1: of I didn't know that that that explains things, more

1025
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 1: of those types of moments. Whereas now I get it,

1026
01:03:57,680 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 1: this is all kind of coming together. Um, It's it's

1027
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: no surprise to me now that they are so contentious

1028
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: and controversial in certain ways because one of the things

1029
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: that makes them so special, which is that they're for

1030
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: all of us. They're co owned by all of us.

1031
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: We can use them for so many different things. That's

1032
01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: also what makes them so challenging to work with. So

1033
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: um uh, there's a whole lot of stakeholders with a

1034
01:04:22,680 --> 01:04:24,520
Speaker 1: whole lot of different ideas about how to use them

1035
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:26,840
Speaker 1: and manage them, and that makes them tricky but special.

1036
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 1: Now you're in the book, you obviously approached it with

1037
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: a bias, right, Like you didn't set out to be

1038
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: like should we have public lands or not? It's like

1039
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,240
Speaker 1: you came at you you're a lover of public lands,

1040
01:04:37,240 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 1: and so you set off to write a book, um,

1041
01:04:39,400 --> 01:04:42,560
Speaker 1: explaining them right and and advocating for them. Did you

1042
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: come away from the whole project more sympathetic to the

1043
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: anti public land sentiment or did you come away more

1044
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: baffled by the anti by anti public land sentiment? I

1045
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: would say it, I would not call myself sympathetic too.

1046
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: But understanding of some of the challenges and complaints around it.

1047
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: When you look at there was a trend in public

1048
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,520
Speaker 1: land policy that might have made things more difficult for

1049
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 1: some users of public lands, and I came to better

1050
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 1: understand that. I I guess you could say sympathetic to

1051
01:05:18,040 --> 01:05:20,560
Speaker 1: some of those users who might now be viewed as

1052
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: anti public land to a degree. Um, But I'm not

1053
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:27,520
Speaker 1: sympathetic with the most radical of those elements. You've got

1054
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: folks like the Bundees who take it so much further

1055
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 1: than I think it ever should. But sure, I'm willing

1056
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:37,000
Speaker 1: to listen to someone who wants to use these lands

1057
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: for some form of extraction or some form of grazing

1058
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. Those are good, honest Americans

1059
01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 1: that have a perspective too. Um. So you gotta approach

1060
01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:50,600
Speaker 1: it with a little bit of open mind, we say,

1061
01:05:51,480 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: you know, you typically you try to like put a

1062
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: spin on your adversaries, and oftentimes you put a spin

1063
01:05:57,200 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 1: on your adversaries that they're not comfortable with. Like we

1064
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 1: talked about pep who are against public land. But the

1065
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: people who are against public land don't say that, like

1066
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:07,320
Speaker 1: they don't say like I am against public land. They

1067
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:12,600
Speaker 1: say something different. Tell me, like, tell me how they

1068
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: would describe, like, what is an anti public lands person

1069
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 1: from his perspective? Well, it's typically gonna be someone who

1070
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 1: is more so anti federal government in a lot of ways,

1071
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 1: believing that there's an overreach of regulation, taking away freedoms

1072
01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:27,840
Speaker 1: or something like that. They might say that we are

1073
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: restricting their use or restricting their economic freedom. Fathers never intended, right,

1074
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 1: so they'll they'll never intended common folk to be able

1075
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: to go outside, so they'll be that kind of thing.

1076
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 1: They very rarely will come right out and say, oh,

1077
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:44,680
Speaker 1: well you're keeping me from making more money. Um, big

1078
01:06:44,680 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: business at least. But but yeah, I mean everybody, everybody

1079
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: comes to this though, looking at it from their own

1080
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 1: individual lens of how you use these lands. So it

1081
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: is it is easy to be biased. And I, like

1082
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 1: you said, I've come to it realizing that trying to

1083
01:06:59,440 --> 01:07:02,040
Speaker 1: as much as possible step outside of that a little

1084
01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,640
Speaker 1: bit and try to understand. But it's hard to do

1085
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:06,720
Speaker 1: that given the passions and the things that we love

1086
01:07:06,760 --> 01:07:09,840
Speaker 1: to do. Um. But what I found is that what

1087
01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: we're in now has been going on for decades and

1088
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: it will continue to so there's never gonna be a

1089
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: happy ending. I don't think it's always going to be

1090
01:07:17,600 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 1: a push and pull, And I think that might have

1091
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,480
Speaker 1: been a great takeaway, was that we just better be

1092
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: prepared for that tug of war to continue, and it's

1093
01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: incumbent on us to stand up and pull really hard.

1094
01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 1: Did you and in doing the book, did you feel

1095
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 1: that the that the part is an aspect of it

1096
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: was cumbersome to deal with because most you know, I mean,

1097
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 1: the what we regards sort of like anti federally managed

1098
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:46,320
Speaker 1: public land sentiment is I mean, in recent years, it's

1099
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:49,600
Speaker 1: like it's like a Republican thing, right, Like the Republican

1100
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: Party had a like they need to give this up

1101
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 1: in my mind, like whole hardly, but they had a

1102
01:07:55,720 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 1: thing where they're sort of a plank in the party platform.

1103
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 1: Is this you know, kind of like nascent opposition to

1104
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:07,040
Speaker 1: federally manage public lands and that that doesn't embody every

1105
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: person in that party but the party in general. So

1106
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 1: when you're writing the book, did you ever feel like

1107
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you're sort of like picking on one political party at

1108
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 1: the expense of another, I'm sorry, picking like picking on

1109
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:20,400
Speaker 1: certain political parties and praising certain political parties because right

1110
01:08:20,479 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 1: now it is sort of this partisan debate. Unfortunately. Yeah,

1111
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 1: that was the most that's me saying it's unfortunate. So

1112
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 1: I think it's terribly unfortunate. No, I was gonna say

1113
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 1: that was the most frustrating aspect of the whole thing.

1114
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 1: Was that. A. I hate that it's become partson. B.

1115
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: I don't understand how they're how this could be because

1116
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 1: this this is about as American of an idea as

1117
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,560
Speaker 1: I can think of, that being democratized land and in

1118
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: a resource like this that all Americans can use and

1119
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,360
Speaker 1: benefit from. So yeah, it's frustrating. It's also challenging to

1120
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,759
Speaker 1: be able to have conversations around Parson issues without half

1121
01:08:50,760 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: of the group just shutting off. Yeah. When I was

1122
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:54,640
Speaker 1: reading your book, that was the thing that stuck on me.

1123
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:56,719
Speaker 1: It's funny because like the father of the American public

1124
01:08:56,800 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: land system was you know, Republican, but it different at

1125
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 1: the time, right the same way. I mean, you know

1126
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 1: the party, you know what it means. The Republican change

1127
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:07,880
Speaker 1: radically three years ago, so you have that. But in

1128
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 1: reading the book, I kept being like, ooh, it's kind

1129
01:09:09,880 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: of like like when you look at like who's behind

1130
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: what and who's doing what. It was like unfortunate. Made

1131
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: me feel like, really, man, these guys gotta these guys

1132
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,439
Speaker 1: gotta pull it together, dude. And that's the thing I

1133
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 1: tried to make clear though in the book, was that

1134
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,400
Speaker 1: I don't think it should be a Republican or Democratic issue,

1135
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,839
Speaker 1: and I approached it from Hey, I'm right in the middle. Personally.

1136
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:30,360
Speaker 1: I came from a conservative Republican background. I certainly, um

1137
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:33,280
Speaker 1: still support some things on that and I support some

1138
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 1: other ideas to um, I'm gonna stand with anybody who's

1139
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 1: willing to stand up for these places. So I try

1140
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:41,520
Speaker 1: to make it clear within the book, I'm not attacking

1141
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. I'm attacking. I'm attacking. I am attacking

1142
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:49,840
Speaker 1: an idea that right now Republicans are supporting that I

1143
01:09:49,840 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: think is a big mistake on their part. Yeah, and

1144
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: that's of changes all the time. Like I said, like

1145
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: three years ago, it was a party of free trade, yeah, right,

1146
01:09:57,320 --> 01:10:00,280
Speaker 1: and now like magically it's not so Yeah it could

1147
01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: you could. Hopefully we'll change around, all right, ladies and gentlemen,

1148
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: Mark Canyon, We're gonna every's gonna go pick up you

1149
01:10:07,120 --> 01:10:09,160
Speaker 1: know what. Listen, you don't even read the book, just

1150
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:13,320
Speaker 1: go buy it. If you don't buy Marx book, Um,

1151
01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 1: none of us. None. We're gonna kill Yanni if you

1152
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 1: don't buy a Marx book. So think about that. It's

1153
01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:27,639
Speaker 1: not a very that's not We're gonna it's gonna be horrible. Um,

1154
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:31,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna plause fingernails out and then um, well you

1155
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:32,600
Speaker 1: know what the guy was just telling me about. This

1156
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,080
Speaker 1: is what I'm gonna do, Yanni. I was just talking

1157
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,679
Speaker 1: to a journalist who used to work in Washington state,

1158
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 1: you know, and he was working on a story about

1159
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:43,519
Speaker 1: these these this little meth group. It's a little meth

1160
01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 1: production group. And they had a fallen out with one

1161
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: of their associates. Kind of like a theater group. Yeah,

1162
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:54,960
Speaker 1: very structure, very similar to a theater group. Or they

1163
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:58,519
Speaker 1: were in the meth rather than the production of drama.

1164
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 1: They were in the production of math. And they had

1165
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:04,160
Speaker 1: fallen out with one of their associates and they tied

1166
01:11:04,200 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 1: him up to your tree out in the woods and

1167
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: covered him in bacon, thinking that he would be tortured

1168
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 1: and killed by a bear. And he wrote a piece

1169
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 1: about this, but then it wounded up being that the

1170
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: guy was able to get the bacon and kind of

1171
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 1: like wriggle it down in around the ropes and was

1172
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 1: able to grease his wrists and grease his ropes and

1173
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 1: slip out of the hold of the ropes thanks to

1174
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: the bacon grease. And it was his favorite story he

1175
01:11:30,840 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 1: ever wrote. And he said that every year around that

1176
01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:37,760
Speaker 1: time he re shares it on Facebook. Why was I

1177
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: talking about that? Oh yeah, because we'll kill Yannie like

1178
01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 1: that if everybody doesn't buy Marks books. So if you

1179
01:11:42,560 --> 01:11:44,120
Speaker 1: want to keep you on your live, send us a

1180
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,599

01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: we'll broadcast his cries of agony and and and and

1183

1184
01:11:59,280 --> 01:12:02,920
Speaker 1: How much is the book? Fifteen bucks? Fifteen bucks? Steal

1185
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:05,719
Speaker 1: still learn about public lands? That one when you're sitting

1186
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: around and you're talking to some jabots, that's Yiddish, I think,

1187
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: isn't it. I've never heard that word before. My dad

1188
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: had three primary insults he would call people. No one

1189
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 1: was Italian mingula morta. And I've checked with Italians and

1190
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 1: It's like a like a mingula morta would be someone

1191
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 1: who is dead below the waist, and that was a

1192
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: very certain type of person. Some people would be a

1193
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,920
Speaker 1: horse's ass and that was a very specific type of person.

1194
01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: And some people would be a jabots, which was very

1195
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: specific type of person in his mind. My father is

1196
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 1: Italian and horses ass as well, a type of guy

1197
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 1: horses as Yeah, very like a type of guy who

1198
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:56,760
Speaker 1: was a horse's ass. Um you're trying to look up ya, don't, don't,

1199
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: don't fact check now, I just want to know what

1200
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,640
Speaker 1: it means, yaba. It means like what you are if

1201
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:05,040
Speaker 1: you don't buy a Mark's book. Why was I talking about?

1202
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 1: Many words? Was talking abouts? And that way you can

1203
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,400
Speaker 1: share one if they're they're like, well, I got some

1204
01:13:13,479 --> 01:13:16,240

1249
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 1: that's the moment we picked that. We picked the ones

1250
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 1: our Christmas like, Christmas is the probably the worst day

1251
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 1: hunting on the planet. Every Christmas, we would go out

1252
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:27,760
Speaker 1: why is it the worst day where I lived? It

1253
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 1: was just horrible hunting. It was horrible hunting conditions. Yeah,

1254
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:34,439
Speaker 1: he'd be like wags and out. You'd way out and

1255
01:16:34,479 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: to crotch deep snow. At that point in time, all

1256
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: the dumb squirrels are dead. It's not like great for

1257
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:44,200
Speaker 1: rabbits yet, Like rabbits would get good later when you

1258
01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: get like kind of compact and snow you can walk

1259
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 1: around on. You start getting sunny days days and start

1260
01:16:48,960 --> 01:16:51,880
Speaker 1: getting longer. Rabbits wanba be out. It's like a short

1261
01:16:51,920 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: ass day. All the dump squirrels are dead, it's just

1262
01:16:55,880 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: smart squirrels. All the leaves are down, so squirrels see

1263
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: you come from million miles away hunting at you know,

1264
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 1: scrub oat jackpine just horrible. But we would open our

1265
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:09,920
Speaker 1: stuff up and then we'd head out into the cold

1266
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:12,680
Speaker 1: and snow. And if if we four or five of

1267
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 1: us pounded it hard and we gotta squirrel or two,

1268
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: we'd be happy. Traditions. That was our tradition. That's right. Sorry,

1269
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:28,080
Speaker 1: Did you guys have any good ones? A lot of

1270
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: all around hunting, no hunting fishing traditions? I had one

1271
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:33,759
Speaker 1: and this is one that a lot of our audience

1272
01:17:33,800 --> 01:17:38,720
Speaker 1: wrote in about guys from Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania has a traditional

1273
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:43,519
Speaker 1: flintlock muzzle. Other season flintlocks only patched roundball buckhorn sites,

1274
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,160
Speaker 1: and it opens the day after Christmas. Right, So over

1275
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: Christmas breaks like a piece of flint strikes a piece

1276
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:53,680
Speaker 1: of metal, and you could not use the caplock. That

1277
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,639
Speaker 1: was too modern for Pennsylvania how to be a flintlock.

1278
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 1: So what was cool was because the same thing as

1279
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 1: you said, it was always snow shitty conditions. The deer

1280
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 1: had been kind of pounded, right, But very traditional gift

1281
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: was a flintlock muzzleodor kit, right, So you couldn't use

1282
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 1: it that year. You start saying, stand in that day, right,

1283
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,080
Speaker 1: And so by the time next Christmas came you could

1284
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,920
Speaker 1: take last year's present out and do the flintlock hunt.

1285
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 1: I used to force the sisters out. I wouldn't force,

1286
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,599
Speaker 1: but I would strongly encourage them to come out and

1287
01:18:32,680 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 1: just do a quick bird hunt with me out at

1288
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:40,799
Speaker 1: Mom's place. Where is that, uh in Shepherd, Montana outside

1289
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 1: of Billings and that's where you're raised sheep in Shepherd.

1290
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: Isn't that funny? Is that intentional? Was that a tradition.

1291
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:56,320
Speaker 1: Uh no, No, it was the fact that those two

1292
01:18:56,360 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: are very fiscally conservative, and they found on the ugliest

1293
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:08,320
Speaker 1: ranch that would have already been sheep fenced and uh dah,

1294
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,720
Speaker 1: considered as much as frugal, very frugal. But you hung

1295
01:19:12,760 --> 01:19:16,160
Speaker 1: geese on that place. Now, yeah, well, um, that's a

1296
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:21,719
Speaker 1: nice permission, it is. But I had, you know, give

1297
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: all the girls a shotgun and we'd go walk the

1298
01:19:25,040 --> 01:19:30,400
Speaker 1: ditch for pheasants um and they were that. My sisters

1299
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: were all, you know, very very safe, to the point

1300
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 1: where there's always at least one rooster on the ditch.

1301
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: My dogs would be working their butts off and the

1302
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,920
Speaker 1: bird would get up. The girls would track the bird

1303
01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 1: with the shotgun, never squeezing the trigger. And that was

1304
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: the entire hunt because they were just not trigger happy, right.

1305
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 1: They were just like, man, I don't know what's gonna

1306
01:19:52,160 --> 01:20:01,479
Speaker 1: happen if I hit this trigger. It was fun. Johnny, No,

1307
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a hunting fishing tradition. I

1308
01:20:11,120 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 1: appreciate seven. If he didn't have a tradition, that is

1309
01:20:13,400 --> 01:20:22,400
Speaker 1: a tradition. Mark nothing. When you guys like I sit

1310
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:25,640
Speaker 1: around your butts, uh well, you know, my one or

1311
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: hunting and fishing related tradition. I guess on Christmas, I

1312
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,360
Speaker 1: always got a hunting or fishing magazine and I would

1313
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,479
Speaker 1: read that on my butt, but it's hunting. Yeah, but

1314
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:35,880
Speaker 1: it was Christmas, and mom said, stay in the house.

1315
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 1: We asked these people. Yeah, this guy when he was seven,

1316
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:41,760
Speaker 1: he got a pellet gun for Christmas, and uh, he

1317
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 1: goes to is. He goes out and starts just a

1318
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:48,679
Speaker 1: harvesting birds. He calls it an opportunistic hunt. And pretty

1319
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:54,479
Speaker 1: soon he's coming back with a sack containing some blue jays, doves, pigeons,

1320
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: and affiliated woodpecker and his grand his mom comes out

1321
01:20:58,560 --> 01:21:01,720
Speaker 1: and freaks out on him and says, uh, you know,

1322
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:03,639
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you eat one of every one of those.

1323
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:06,840
Speaker 1: He says, I gotta plan and eat him anyway, And

1324
01:21:06,880 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: his grandpa came out and said me too. So him

1325
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 1: and his grandpa, who was born during the depression, sat

1326
01:21:11,320 --> 01:21:13,640
Speaker 1: down and they ate up their birds. And then from

1327
01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:15,400
Speaker 1: then on every year they do what he calls again.

1328
01:21:15,439 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 1: They would do an opportunistic hunt for Christmas. Another guy

1329
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: rolled in it Christmas Day. They'd always have their eyes

1330
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: on some I don't understand this, he had some spots

1331
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 1: where there was a lot of doves that would congregate

1332
01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 1: and parking lots of businesses, and since they knew that

1333
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,240
Speaker 1: the businesses were closed on Christmas Day, they would hit

1334
01:21:32,240 --> 01:21:36,600
Speaker 1: those spots. Um. Another guy rolled into. Every year, he

1335
01:21:36,640 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 1: makes plans with his buddy to go hunt, and every

1336
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: year his buddy cancels the plans, And then every year

1337
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: he has a real good hunt. And he's come to

1338
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: believe there's some kind of higher juju at play here.

1339
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: So now whenever his buddy calls and cancels, he gets

1340
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 1: real excited. He's gonna get something. Guy says they One

1341
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 1: guy says they always hang their unfilled game tags on

1342
01:21:57,040 --> 01:22:04,080
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree. Um. This guy's my old stepdad's family

1343
01:22:04,120 --> 01:22:06,920
Speaker 1: treated the first day of squirrel season as if it

1344
01:22:07,000 --> 01:22:09,640
Speaker 1: was a holy day by always having it. This is

1345
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: kind of like a playoff Christmas Eve. They'd have a

1346
01:22:11,479 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Squirrel's Eve family dinner and celebrate the night before. Then

1347
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:18,240
Speaker 1: they'd get up and meet at waffle house at three

1348
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: am and then go get him. The use also liked

1349
01:22:23,160 --> 01:22:24,799
Speaker 1: on the holidays, they would like to go shoot pigeons

1350
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:27,000
Speaker 1: out of the barn. And he got to be at

1351
01:22:27,000 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 1: the age where they told him to go in and

1352
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 1: spook the pigeons. He didn't really know what they meant,

1353
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: and he went in and blew a hole through the

1361
01:22:56,000 --> 01:22:59,160
Speaker 1: with the shotgun. We call it Christmas tree hunting. Another

1362
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 1: guy says, we've been doing this for probably twelve or

1363
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: fifteen years. It started when my dad and I went

1364
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 1: lyon hunting with the secondary objective of cutting down a

1365
01:23:06,439 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 1: Christmas tree. While out, we found a tree to harvest,

1366
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,519
Speaker 1: but realized we had forgot to saw our acts, so

1367
01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:13,920
Speaker 1: we shot it down with Dad's thirty thirty. It's been

1368
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:17,920
Speaker 1: a tradition ever since. A guy rode in. They pickled tongue.

1369
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 1: But the thing he brought up his boxing day. You guys,

1370
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:22,519
Speaker 1: what boxing day is, isn't that Canadian? Yeah, it's the

1371
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:26,360
Speaker 1: day after Christmas in Canada, they box all their ship up.

1372
01:23:26,800 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I don't know what they think they all fought, but

1373
01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:32,040
Speaker 1: someone told me that they just he thinks it's because

1374
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 1: he boxed all yourself up and go home. It's a holiday.

1375
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:39,000

1376
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 1: that I know about. The tradition. Uh. Guy, his dad

1377
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 1: always saved his deery shot in the fall so he

1378
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,120
Speaker 1: could use them to make reindeer tracks outside. I had

1379
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 1: that happened to me when I was a kid. Look

1380
01:23:51,120 --> 01:23:53,200
Speaker 1: up when one morning and there was reindeer tracks all

1381
01:23:53,280 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: over and Santa wrote a message in the snow. Sure

1382
01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:59,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't white tail tracks, Well some kind of tracks.

1383
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,680
Speaker 1: I feel like you should know anybody at the time.

1384
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: I didn't. Man, I know you didn't hunt on Christmas,

1385
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: so you weren't that dedicated. It was easily fooled. You

1389
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,200
Speaker 1: it's an opportunity hunting. That's what his grandpa from the

1390
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:25,559
Speaker 1: depression would call it. His grandpa called an opportunity. Yeah,

1391
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that, do I do? I need to

1392

01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: With the hunting was tough. I'd end up eating some

1437
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 1: of his old Vienna sausages that he'd put down by

1438
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: the pickups floor heat or to warm them up. He

1439
01:27:16,320 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: always has some stale salteines to go with him. Uh.

1440
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:22,720
Speaker 1: This guy they like to shoot, I'm not quite sure.

01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:41,000
Speaker 1: a miniature cannon and it perfectly fits a twenty gate shell.

1445
01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: So he takes the pours the shot out, leaves the

1446
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:49,280
Speaker 1: wad and the powder and the primer intact, and instead

1447
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: of where the fuse would go, he shoves this shell

1448
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 1: up in there and strikes it with a hammer. Guy

01:29:09,439 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: I'll tell because it was kind of about what we

1465
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:15,560
Speaker 1: were just talking about about deer using deer prints on

1466
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:20,280
Speaker 1: the snow outside. When we were kids, my parents would

1467
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:24,560
Speaker 1: get the neighbors. They had like a leather it's like

1468
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: a half of a belt. I had a bunch of

1469
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: bells on it. I don't know what you call it,

1470
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:28,800
Speaker 1: but you could like hanging off of a door, you

1471
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:30,639
Speaker 1: know when you open the door to the bells jingle.

1472
01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 1: That thing was like part of the Christmas kit. They'd

1473
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:37,080
Speaker 1: whoop you guys with it. They would get the neighbors.

1474
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 1: They would give all the presents. We had no presents

1475
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:43,080
Speaker 1: Christmas morning under the tree, there was zero. We'd open

1476
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:45,320
Speaker 1: a bunch of Christmas Eve like that. We're from each other.

1477
01:29:45,840 --> 01:29:48,640
Speaker 1: Christmas morning, no presents under the tree. Then you'd be

1478
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 1: sitting around and having some breakfast, and then all of

1479
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,120
Speaker 1: a sudden you hear jingle jingle jingle, and we but

1480
01:29:54,280 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: what did you hear that? Go in that window and

1481
01:29:56,600 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: we grow in to the window, and then by some

Speaker 1: other window your jingle jingle jingle like it's daylight out, Yeah,

1483
01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:03,840

1484
01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: at the front door, there'd be like a really big

1485
01:30:06,000 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 1: jingle noise and whatever, and we'd run to the front

1486
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:09,240
Speaker 1: door and you open the door and there'd be a

1487

01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: writing that letter, and they are very serious and like

1504
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,360
Speaker 1: there's no questioning whether or not she the fairy comes

1505
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,320
Speaker 1: and trades out to doental work for cash. But yeah,

1506
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:26,559
Speaker 1: Santa Claus and Karma, they're not into it. You're only

1507
01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: speaking that. Did you hear that noise? What is that noise?

1508
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't bells, wasn't it? It's son of a bit

1509
01:31:38,760 --> 01:31:50,720
Speaker 1: Christmas miracle. That's karma. Oh you a special holiday, the

1510
01:31:50,800 --> 01:31:53,720
Speaker 1: special Holiday special, boys and girls. This is called the

1511
01:31:53,800 --> 01:31:56,599
Speaker 1: kids corner of the special Holiday Special. When we get

1512
01:31:56,640 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 1: a visit from Big Man himself and you you people

1513
01:32:01,160 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: who might not appreciate how special saying is. Let me

1514
01:32:04,600 --> 01:32:05,800
Speaker 1: let me hit here with this. That's something I'd like

1515
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:08,240
Speaker 1: to revisit. This is uh this some stats pulled by

1516
01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 1: Spy magazine many years ago. This establishes how miraculous the

1517
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Santa Claus Just how special does it happen? Here? This

1518
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,600
Speaker 1: man and are this man here in our presence? He

1519
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: every years services and estimated three hundred and seventy eight

1520
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:31,280
Speaker 1: million Christian children. If you imagine that fift of those

1521
01:32:31,400 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 1: Christian children are bad and don't get anything, so he

1522
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,160
Speaker 1: doesn't need to do anything for him. And you give

1523
01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 1: it that, you have a whopping three point five Christian

1524
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:43,000
Speaker 1: children per household. This man still is visiting every year

1525
01:32:44,439 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 1: eight million homes. Even with the rotation of the earth.

1526
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:52,519
Speaker 1: He's only got thirty one hours of darkness to get

1527
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,519
Speaker 1: it done. This man in our presence, right here at

1528
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:58,880
Speaker 1: busiting us here today can pull off eight hundred and

1529
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:04,559
Speaker 1: twenty two point six home visits per second. It takes

1530
01:33:04,640 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 1: him a thousandth of a second to pull off a

1531
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 1: single home visit, not counting trans oceanic legs of his trip,

1532
01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:18,559
Speaker 1: this man travel seventy two million, five thousand miles every Christmas.

1533
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 1: He's going six hundred and fifty miles per second. He's

1534
01:33:23,600 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: going three thousand times the speed of sound. If he

1535
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: were to only bring each kid him easily two pounds

1536
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:36,200
Speaker 1: of presents, this man pulls three hundred and twenty one

1537
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:41,320
Speaker 1: thousand tons of toys behind him in his sleigh. His

1538
01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:46,200
Speaker 1: lead reindeer. His lead reindeer at these speeds is absorbing

1539
01:33:46,760 --> 01:33:52,519
Speaker 1: fourteen point three quintillion jewels of energy per second. If

1540
01:33:52,560 --> 01:33:56,800
Speaker 1: these were normal reindeer, he would be sloughing off. If

1541
01:33:56,840 --> 01:33:59,120
Speaker 1: these were first off, these are no reindeer. He would

1542
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,240
Speaker 1: need two hundred, fourteen thousand and two hundred reindeer to

1543
01:34:02,280 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 1: pull that load in four point to six thousands of

1544
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:10,479
Speaker 1: a second. Two fourteen reindeer at this speed, or we

1545
01:34:10,560 --> 01:34:16,439
Speaker 1: sloughed off into char at that at those speeds. Stephen, Stephen,

1546
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:19,000
Speaker 1: I'm not a numbers guy, but that sounds wonderful. This

1547
01:34:19,120 --> 01:34:23,639
Speaker 1: man sitting here today is subjected to send trivical forces

1548
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:29,439
Speaker 1: seventeen thousand, five hundred times greater than the earth gravitational force.

1549
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,920
Speaker 1: He is pinned to the back of his sled with

1550
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 1: four million, three hundred seventy five thousand and fifteen tons

1551
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 1: of force at those speeds, Ladies and gentleman standard class.

1552
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,639
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thank you. If he can't do that, if

1553
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: he can't do that, then he damn sure wouldn't be

1554
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:51,040
Speaker 1: able to write a good poem. Damn right. Listen, Stephen

1555
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 1: uh here, you have child three children? Three children, correct?

Speaker 1: One girl and two boys. That's correct. That correct, that's

1557
01:35:00,439 --> 01:35:03,200

01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:35,640
Speaker 1: not that's that's wonderful. I'm very proud of all of you.

1566
01:35:36,360 --> 01:35:39,840
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, and you're not welcome at the North pole

1567
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 1: because the elves telling me that you kill brain deer

1568
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:49,120
Speaker 1: on occasion I have. We won't speak of it. What

1569
01:35:49,240 --> 01:35:51,920
Speaker 1: do you need now for me? Very busy for kids

1570
01:35:51,960 --> 01:35:54,400

1571
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,639
Speaker 1: Holiday Special. Uh, we would like a poem? You would

01:35:57,680 --> 01:36:00,400
Speaker 1: like a poem? And knowing the incredible feats, you're a bow.

1573
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:02,679
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a small thing. I've just written

1574
01:36:02,720 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 1: it just now. Are you ready? I am ready. It's

1575
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:09,599
Speaker 1: called twas the Night before Deer Season. I've just written

1576
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:15,759
Speaker 1: it in the last minute. Are you ready, Anthony, I'm ready. Santa,

1577
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:21,400
Speaker 1: You're naughty. Twas the Night before Deer Season went all

1578
01:36:21,520 --> 01:36:26,479
Speaker 1: through the woods. The hunters were prepping all of their goods.

1579
01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:36,240
Speaker 1: Quiet quiet, Stephen, Santa's talking you shush it. The bass

1580
01:36:36,320 --> 01:36:39,960
Speaker 1: layers were hung in the wall tent with care and

1581
01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,240
Speaker 1: hopes that first light soon would be there. Janice or

1582
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:48,519
Speaker 1: Janie was nestled all snug in his cot with visions

1583
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:54,200
Speaker 1: of cross hairs and taking the shots with and Cal

1584
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 1: and his lip broom, and Steve and his wool. They

1585
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,439
Speaker 1: each had a bottle of whiskey to pull. When out

1586
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:06,479
Speaker 1: of the darkness arose such a sound Stephens sprang from

1587
01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:10,200
Speaker 1: his chair to see what was around away to the

1588
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,799
Speaker 1: tent flap. Taking immediate flight, he threw back the canvas

1589
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:18,160
Speaker 1: and stepped into the night with an led lamp strapped

1590
01:37:18,240 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 1: to his head. He saw in the darkness a book

1591
01:37:21,600 --> 01:37:25,679
Speaker 1: in its bed, and what, to his wondering eyes should

1592
01:37:25,680 --> 01:37:29,800
Speaker 1: he see? The buck's giant rack had rubbed every tree.

1593
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:35,519
Speaker 1: His frame was wide, and taking one more look, it

1594
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:37,960
Speaker 1: was a buck. Moon and Crockett would put into their

1595
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: book his ties, how they twinkle, His muscles hal tents,

1596
01:37:44,439 --> 01:37:47,160
Speaker 1: His aunt was like the pickets, and the most wonderful fence.

1597
01:37:48,920 --> 01:37:52,560
Speaker 1: The big giant buck had a broad, saggy belly that

1598
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,719
Speaker 1: shook when he laughed, like a bowl full of jelly.

1599
01:37:56,160 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 1: Calm down, Mark Kenyon, you seem to be excited. You're sweating.

1600
01:38:02,320 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 1: Your brow is filled with Santa doesn't sweat. I get

1601
01:38:07,680 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 1: very busy, but I do not sweat. You are a

1602
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:14,560
Speaker 1: sweat hearing in this. You should get a handkerchief. He

1603
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:17,320
Speaker 1: was chubby and plump, with full of cold fighting fat.

1604
01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 1: Though the meat eater man had ruined his nap, Steve

1605
01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:26,000
Speaker 1: dreamed to be shouldering and naming his gun, gripping and grinning,

1606
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:30,480
Speaker 1: sure wouldn't be fun. The buck piste on his tossils

1607
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:33,680
Speaker 1: and with a twist of his head, let Stephen know

1608
01:38:33,960 --> 01:38:37,719
Speaker 1: there would be nothing to dread. He sprang down the trail,

1609
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:42,120
Speaker 1: looking just like a missile, and the way he flew

1610
01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,440
Speaker 1: like the down of a thistle. But the hunter exclaimed

1611
01:38:47,880 --> 01:38:51,200
Speaker 1: as the buck ran out of you, I hear, does

1612
01:38:51,280 --> 01:38:55,280
Speaker 1: and spike box have tasty back straps too? Ho ho

1613
01:38:57,040 --> 01:39:02,920
Speaker 1: bet eaters. Then I just wrote that. Now it took

1614
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:09,080
Speaker 1: me one minute. In twelve seconds, that's valuable time. Quite health.

1615
01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 1: Who let you out of the workshop? Santa, thank you

1616
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:21,120
Speaker 1: so much for dropping by. There ends the end of

1617
01:39:21,160 --> 01:39:23,680
Speaker 1: the kid's corner of the special Holiday Specialist. And if

1618
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: you'd like, we're gonna step out of this room and

1619
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:29,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna go do the Latvian holiday tradition of melting lead.

1620
01:39:30,280 --> 01:39:33,280
Speaker 1: And then you breathe all those toxic fumes, and then

1621
01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,439
Speaker 1: you throw the lead into a bucket. It's a bucket

1622
01:39:36,479 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 1: of water. The lead slidifies into a crazy shape. You

1623
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,640
Speaker 1: hold the shape up and make a finger puppet with it,

1624
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:44,600
Speaker 1: and then that predicts your future, if you'd care to

1625
01:39:44,680 --> 01:39:46,800
Speaker 1: join us. I have no idea what you're talking about

1626
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:50,880
Speaker 1: that sounds dangerous. I've never been to a lot for you,

1627
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:53,680
Speaker 1: but it sounds nice. So go on, Stephen, go on.

1628
01:39:56,479 --> 01:39:58,799
Speaker 1: All right, everybody once again, give it up for Santa

1629
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:03,760
Speaker 1: busy and busy man. All right, he's gonna go to

1630
01:40:03,800 --> 01:40:08,479
Speaker 1: the shop mall. Goodbye, goodbye. He's wanted right now at

1631
01:40:08,560 --> 01:40:16,200
Speaker 1: four thousand shopping malls. Listen to the hunting collectors. Okay, Yanni,

1632
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:18,720
Speaker 1: what do we need to know, you know, setting out

1633
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 1: to do this, Well, what you need to know first

1634
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:25,679
Speaker 1: is that all these traditions, like I said earlier, club

1635
01:40:25,960 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 1: celebrating the winter solstice, not necessarily Christmas, and the winter

1636
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: solstice is like the it's the new year basically on

1637
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 1: like a calendar that nature provides. Right. So if you

1638
01:40:39,400 --> 01:40:41,760
Speaker 1: just throw out December in January and just looked at like,

1639
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:46,200
Speaker 1: what when the year sort of flips over for uh yeah,

1640
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:49,559
Speaker 1: days get mighty shortly, it's all depressed. Day start getting

1641
01:40:49,600 --> 01:40:52,320
Speaker 1: longer again. So all of this stuff sort of has

1642
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:55,240
Speaker 1: like a finish up with one thing, start a new

1643
01:40:55,360 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 1: thing theme going throughout the whole thing. Um before, we've

1644
01:41:00,560 --> 01:41:02,880
Speaker 1: talked about the ule log, which I think now after

1645
01:41:03,000 --> 01:41:05,479
Speaker 1: doing some research on the ul log. It's not exactly

1646
01:41:05,520 --> 01:41:08,280
Speaker 1: the same thing, but the log that we like to

1647
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,400
Speaker 1: toe toe around the house with a rope while we're

1648
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:14,599
Speaker 1: singing Latvian folk songs. Yeah, I've been to this, You've

1649
01:41:14,640 --> 01:41:19,760
Speaker 1: been to it. That's right, everybody, you chop what happens now?

1650
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: I can't remember what I did. Um, we dragged the

1651
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,760
Speaker 1: log around the house three times to rid the whole

1652
01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 1: homestead of any sort of bad juju, bad spirits, anything

1653
01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:34,519
Speaker 1: that might be negative, like surrounding like the place itself,

1654
01:41:34,680 --> 01:41:38,479
Speaker 1: right then, so that the humans can participate sort of

1655
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:43,240
Speaker 1: getting rid of their own demons, mishaps, negativities, anything bad

1656
01:41:43,360 --> 01:41:45,080
Speaker 1: that you want to sort of forget from the last

1657
01:41:45,200 --> 01:41:47,240
Speaker 1: year and put it behind you and have and be

1658
01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:49,800
Speaker 1: able to look forward to the clean slate. You can

1659
01:41:49,880 --> 01:41:52,160
Speaker 1: do And I read recently that you can use multiple

1660
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: ways into the log. You can chop it, which is

1661
01:41:54,280 --> 01:41:58,320
Speaker 1: what we do. Yeah, Like I walked up and I'm like, yeah,

1662
01:41:58,400 --> 01:42:03,120
Speaker 1: it's now, that's yat it. He and I wept and

1663
01:42:03,760 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 1: chopped into the log. Yeah. You could also, um, just

1664
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 1: tie a little string around the log. But he could

1665
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:13,519
Speaker 1: do that and that sort of symbolize that way. Yeah,

1666
01:42:14,200 --> 01:42:16,519
Speaker 1: we once did we were at a place where we

1667
01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: didn't have room for the log or whatever, and so

1668
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:21,200
Speaker 1: instead we all just wrote things down on a piece

1669
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:22,840
Speaker 1: of paper and like sort of like a scroll and

1670
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:24,680
Speaker 1: rolled it up and then everybody would just pitch them

1671
01:42:24,680 --> 01:42:27,200
Speaker 1: into the fire. So like urban parents who aren't comfortable

1672
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:29,439
Speaker 1: with their children wielding an axe, you can have them

1673
01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:31,200
Speaker 1: go tie. Oh, yeah, that's right. And so you've got

1674
01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 1: a big bonfire going. And so once everybody's done chopping

1675
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,720
Speaker 1: or tying their thread or string onto the log, you

1676
01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:41,400
Speaker 1: pitch it into the bond, just a string, because you

1677
01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 1: know what it means, that's right. And again it's just

1678
01:42:44,280 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 1: the it's the traditional is just symbolic of you know,

1679
01:42:47,080 --> 01:42:51,040
Speaker 1: leaving the bad stuff behind from the last year traditions, tradition.

Speaker 1: debate it at this moment. Want to give you guys

1692
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 1: a little telling me that the Latvians came up with

1693
01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 1: the Christmas tree. Men of the local merchants guild decorated

1694
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,240
Speaker 1: a tree with artificial roses, danced around it in the marketplace,

1695
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:08,000
Speaker 1: and then set fire to it. God, you guys are dramatic. Dramatic, Yeah,

1696
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:13,720
Speaker 1: I mean burning every It's like just all the decorating

1697
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:20,200
Speaker 1: and burning. It sounds like all that and fire. Yeah yeah,

1698
01:44:20,600 --> 01:44:31,360
Speaker 1: what do you nay? Burn it? Then decorated you have bonfires? Okay,

1699
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:34,160
Speaker 1: Why did that guy send us the thing about how

1700
01:44:34,240 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 1: Lava is the most introverted country? What about it? He

1701
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 1: said that Lavia he saw something at the Lavian embassy

1702
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:45,400
Speaker 1: that said Lavia is the world's most introverted. Yeah, trying

1703
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,120
Speaker 1: to get introvers to like talk about their introvert noess,

1704
01:44:48,560 --> 01:44:52,760
Speaker 1: but but you guys have such uh like flamboyant expressions

1705
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:56,640
Speaker 1: around the holidays. It just doesn't strike me as introversion. Introversion.

1706
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:59,720
Speaker 1: I think it just seems flamboyant because you've never heard

1707
01:44:59,760 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 1: of it. You know, if if if someone had never

1708
01:45:01,800 --> 01:45:04,320
Speaker 1: heard of your Christmas traditions and you told him about

1709

1713
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:20,080
Speaker 1: but okay, we'll try it. That's a good point I

Speaker 1: you want to know what the words mean? Uh? Come,

1747
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:02,840
Speaker 1: they told me rumba pump pump. You got the rumpa

1748
01:48:02,880 --> 01:48:06,360
Speaker 1: pump pump. Yeah, that's just the chorus. So Kala dow

1749
01:48:06,880 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 1: is the same in English as it isn't latvian um,

1750
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:15,760
Speaker 1: but it's uh sorry. A silver rain was falling at

1751
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:19,800
Speaker 1: winter solstice night. All the teeny tiny branches gave the

1752
01:48:19,920 --> 01:48:24,400
Speaker 1: silver a ride. Candors candles burned all night long in

1753
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:28,760
Speaker 1: silver candle holders. The moon shows the way to those

1754
01:48:28,880 --> 01:48:32,120
Speaker 1: bringing the Sun's daughter. The son gave her daughter from

1755
01:48:32,200 --> 01:48:36,360
Speaker 1: the land of the deceased to this land. Geez. I'm

1756
01:48:36,360 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: not sure if it's the nutmeg, but that's truth about

1757
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:45,840
Speaker 1: that's translation of the song. So someone else might give

1758
01:48:45,880 --> 01:48:49,960
Speaker 1: you a different version, but there you go. So to

1759
01:48:50,840 --> 01:48:57,599
Speaker 1: look into the future. Um, we have what's called limus

1760
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:01,559
Speaker 1: leah shanna, which if you translate that literally, it means

1761
01:49:01,720 --> 01:49:05,519
Speaker 1: pouring luck or pouring happiness leah shian of being the

1762
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: verb pouring and lineman being luck or happiness. Um. Researching

1763
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:15,560
Speaker 1: for today, I don't think I'd ever personally defined what

1764
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 1: linement was to me, but it comes come to find

1765
01:49:18,360 --> 01:49:21,000
Speaker 1: out it's very hard to define, let alone translate, and

1766
01:49:21,040 --> 01:49:24,320
Speaker 1: that Latin philosophers have sort of like battled and debated

1767
01:49:24,400 --> 01:49:27,680
Speaker 1: over this for hundreds of years because it's not just

1768
01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:30,679
Speaker 1: like um, happiness, but it's more of like a state

1769
01:49:30,760 --> 01:49:33,880
Speaker 1: of being. There's like other emotions attached to it, from

1770
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:39,640
Speaker 1: simple satisfaction to great joy. Um. Some theologians and philosophers

1771
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:42,639
Speaker 1: describe it as living a successful and good life rather

1772
01:49:42,720 --> 01:49:47,040
Speaker 1: than a simple emotion. So it's deep. So what you're

1773
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:49,960
Speaker 1: about to do encompasses all that. You're not just like

1774
01:49:50,040 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 1: sort of forecasting like what might happen, but it's sort

1775
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 1: of like how you might feel and be for the

1776
01:49:55,479 --> 01:49:57,720
Speaker 1: next year. But you can see why I like it

1777
01:49:57,760 --> 01:49:59,720
Speaker 1: because basically, if you've got Lineman, you just have like

1778
01:49:59,760 --> 01:50:02,800
Speaker 1: a in a good positive attitude about life. I believe

1779
01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:04,719
Speaker 1: if you have that, you know life should be pretty

1780
01:50:04,720 --> 01:50:07,720
Speaker 1: smooth for you because you perceive it as such. That's right.

1781
01:50:08,920 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 1: So um, I think we can roll and pour some lead.

1782
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 1: So quick walk us through the process real quick. Yes, okay,

1783
01:50:17,680 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 1: so we that's how we always done it. Um. You

1784
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 1: basically have a small pot that you usually go to

1785
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:27,600
Speaker 1: uh thrift store and buy because Once you melt letting it,

1786
01:50:27,640 --> 01:50:30,400
Speaker 1: you're not gonna use it again to cook um noodles

1787
01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:36,160
Speaker 1: for your kids anymore. Um, So you have to have

1788
01:50:36,360 --> 01:50:38,360
Speaker 1: it's simple. You don't need a lot. So you guys

1789
01:50:38,439 --> 01:50:41,280
Speaker 1: ever invested in one of those lead like my old

1790
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:45,240
Speaker 1: man had one of those lead melting it looks like

1791
01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:49,840
Speaker 1: a bull scrolled them with a spout. No, I don't.

1792
01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 1: I don't know if they gets sophisticated about it. I

1793
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:53,400
Speaker 1: don't know if you'd like to have a spout, because

1794
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 1: that might like trip up the actual throne kind of

1795
01:50:57,439 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 1: like dictate your future. That's right, okay, go on. Um So, yeah,

1796
01:51:02,120 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: some fishing sinkers is what we buy, and you need

1797
01:51:05,120 --> 01:51:07,320
Speaker 1: a bucket, um. But then you can also just do

1798
01:51:07,400 --> 01:51:09,840
Speaker 1: it like in your sink um, just fill it up

1799
01:51:09,840 --> 01:51:11,320
Speaker 1: with cold water. I think if you had a minimum

1800
01:51:11,360 --> 01:51:13,600
Speaker 1: of six inches, that's probably enough so that by the

1801
01:51:13,680 --> 01:51:16,040
Speaker 1: time it hit the bottom, it's not gonna, you know,

1802
01:51:16,080 --> 01:51:19,800
Speaker 1: adhere to the steel. Um. Then so yeah, small pot

1803
01:51:19,880 --> 01:51:22,080
Speaker 1: and a way to heat it up and melt the lead.

1804
01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,720
Speaker 1: That's it. And so once you have a pot and

1805
01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think how much we're gonna it's been

1806
01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,840
Speaker 1: a few years since I've done it. But I'm guessing

1807
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:31,800
Speaker 1: like a two or three ounce fishing sinker or that

1808
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:35,040
Speaker 1: amount is gonna be enough to produce a nice uh

1809
01:51:35,280 --> 01:51:36,960
Speaker 1: pour of lead. Yeah, you don't want to predict too

1810
01:51:37,000 --> 01:51:43,479
Speaker 1: much your future. No, I mean we're just trying to

1811
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 1: do one year. You get about a year per ounce. Yeah,

1812
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: um so yeah, once you haven't melted in the pot,

1813
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,639
Speaker 1: hover over the bucket of cold water, and then quickly

1814
01:51:54,680 --> 01:51:57,920
Speaker 1: in one motion, spill it into there. Throw it into there,

1815
01:51:58,400 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 1: pour it into there, and then it immediately it makes

1816
01:52:01,040 --> 01:52:03,880
Speaker 1: kind of a loud popping noise and it immediately solidifies

1817
01:52:03,960 --> 01:52:06,360
Speaker 1: and you pick it up out of there, and the

1818
01:52:06,439 --> 01:52:08,679
Speaker 1: fun starts. And you guys like to throw the shadow

1819
01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:11,720
Speaker 1: with a candle or a flashlight candle for sure, because

1820
01:52:11,760 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 1: then you get the movement of the flame. It makes

1821
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:19,679
Speaker 1: it dance, be dancing all here. Mm hmmm. I hope

1822
01:52:19,720 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 1: we throw marks and it's a giant white till it

1823
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: might be like Margot think he's gonna get a big one,

1824
01:52:27,240 --> 01:52:29,080
Speaker 1: but he doesn't realize that he's just gonna get stomped

1825
01:52:29,080 --> 01:52:32,400
Speaker 1: to death by one. Oh, you're like any minute out

1826
01:52:32,880 --> 01:52:35,599
Speaker 1: chewing on gold while stomping on my head. It might

1827
01:52:35,640 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 1: be a whole herd, a big giant buck. Yeah, when

1828
01:52:38,880 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 1: you see a big buck, don't get excited because you're

1829
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:42,240
Speaker 1: not gonna know what it means. Man steering clear the

1830
01:52:42,280 --> 01:52:45,200
Speaker 1: back for you next year. I know better to go

1831
01:52:45,280 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: out there. I saw my lead, all right, let's go

1832
01:52:48,280 --> 01:53:04,400
Speaker 1: for some lead. Blador on a piece of lead inside

1833
01:53:04,479 --> 01:53:11,000
Speaker 1: a little tin looking pot. The leads Milton and starting

1834
01:53:11,040 --> 01:53:13,760
Speaker 1: to run down to the bottom. It looks like, uh,

1835
01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:19,519
Speaker 1: that's smarts Anagar movie Terminator two, the guy that gets shot.

1836
01:53:19,600 --> 01:53:21,479
Speaker 1: But then he was like, yeah, it gets back up again.

1837
01:53:21,560 --> 01:53:24,240
Speaker 1: Does it looks like this the second terminators in there?

1838
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:27,800
Speaker 1: How is it like all liquid fide now and you're

1839
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: just gonna ducking that's a lot of futures. Oh that

1840
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 1: came a good Yeah, here, I'll get another one going

1841
01:53:43,680 --> 01:53:46,720
Speaker 1: and pull yours out. This does not look like a

1842
01:53:46,960 --> 01:53:55,080
Speaker 1: festive holiday thing to Steve and his respirator. What's gonna

1843
01:53:55,120 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 1: happen to the picture doesn't come completely as the shadow? Right,

1844
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:05,479
Speaker 1: you can do both. You can do both. I don't

1845
01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:09,720
Speaker 1: any going to it and Taper who's doing the next one?

1846
01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:13,280
Speaker 1: It's a real satisfying noise is gonna goes in for pot,

1847
01:54:13,439 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 1: fight me off, you want to do any like one?

1848
01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:25,560
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, oh, that's absolutely a thing block that

1849
01:54:25,720 --> 01:54:39,520
Speaker 1: Mark's future. Alright, so we are we've poured the lad

1850
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: and now correct me if I'm wrong, honest, But we

1851
01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:49,000
Speaker 1: are examining the lead through by looking at its shadow

1852
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:51,240
Speaker 1: that it casts on the wall with a candle as

1853
01:54:51,280 --> 01:54:57,520
Speaker 1: the light. And now we interpret what the lead shape

1854
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:01,880
Speaker 1: means for Mark's future. I like to remind everybody that

1855
01:55:02,360 --> 01:55:05,120
Speaker 1: remember how saying how lineman is like the easiest way

1856
01:55:05,160 --> 01:55:07,800
Speaker 1: to translate it is happiness. So this isn't this is

1857
01:55:07,880 --> 01:55:11,640
Speaker 1: your future in a very fun and positive way. I

1858
01:55:11,680 --> 01:55:15,400
Speaker 1: see like an olive branch, bonds eye tree, an olive

1859
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:23,600
Speaker 1: branch like peace. Oh then backpacker, backpacker looking back Mark

1860
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:27,480
Speaker 1: will go backpacking. Maybe he's got something he's maybe it's

1861
01:55:27,560 --> 01:55:31,680
Speaker 1: Mark in a backpack. He's singing about public lands. You

1862
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:36,080
Speaker 1: see something very dark. I see a very arthritic hand

1863
01:55:38,840 --> 01:55:43,840
Speaker 1: with an arthritic hand with a growth. A man with

1864
01:55:43,920 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 1: a knife sticking out of his chest. So when you

1865
01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:50,680
Speaker 1: see uh, cancer and knives and chests and whatnot, those

1866
01:55:50,760 --> 01:55:52,440
Speaker 1: thoughts you just need to throw out of your head.

1867
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: With all due respect, man, these crazy ass lavia lead

1868
01:55:57,120 --> 01:56:01,640
Speaker 1: shapes do not look positive. I think you seem to

1869
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 1: get have a better imagination. But see there's that arthritic

1870
01:56:05,200 --> 01:56:12,520
Speaker 1: hand again. Steve Bringers over here, I see old lady,

1871
01:56:13,000 --> 01:56:18,800
Speaker 1: an old monk with arthritic arms. The un Anthony, Come on,

1872
01:56:19,920 --> 01:56:24,360
Speaker 1: Anthony's future is in disarray. See a lot of disorder

1873
01:56:26,520 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 1: with a fire ant biting the guy in the back.

1874
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:37,000
Speaker 1: There's it's an old arthritic worm. Let's think about Kel's

1875
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:43,320
Speaker 1: problem is that his future is greatly segmented, shattered, almost

1876
01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 1: a shattered future, some might say. Some might say, it's

1877
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 1: let's start to put a little more positive Anthony. Maybe

1878
01:56:50,200 --> 01:56:52,400
Speaker 1: he doesn't have a shattered future. Maybe he has a

1879
01:56:54,080 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 1: diverse and diversified uh dropping my future around the ground chat.

1880
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:05,240
Speaker 1: Maybe his future shattered in many ways. It was up there, Karin,

1881
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:08,200
Speaker 1: what are you feeling? No, it kind of looks like

1882
01:57:08,280 --> 01:57:10,960
Speaker 1: a dinosaur. Well that was a long time ago. That's

1883
01:57:10,960 --> 01:57:14,520
Speaker 1: not the future. It's a totally the wrong way. She

1884
01:57:14,680 --> 01:57:18,440
Speaker 1: might find some next year. Oh yeah, I wasn't looking

1885
01:57:18,440 --> 01:57:22,400
Speaker 1: at the bright side. Old lady, big head, You're gonna

1886
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:27,520
Speaker 1: be a big headed old lady this year. It's gonna

1887
01:57:27,560 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 1: be a year that just means you're getting smarter, Karan

1888
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:38,200
Speaker 1: just means your brains getting bigger, an arthritic old. Remember,

1889
01:57:38,400 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 1: as I was saying again, this will be the third

1890
01:57:40,280 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 1: time I remind you guys that Lima is happiness and

1891
01:57:44,240 --> 01:57:51,000
