1
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load from

2
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air.

3
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Where Heart is a movie about Christmas.

4
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 3: And here's how I know.

5
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 2: There's a fire that brightly burns, a party where everyone's

6
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: turned and Ellis's.

7
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Drugs are kind of like the snow. Die Heart is.

8
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:12,319
Speaker 2: A movie about Christmas, that's my opinion. And the rooftops

9
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,479
Speaker 2: at night they are full of twinkling lights from the

10
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: sub machine.

11
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: There's a get together open that they've.

12
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: Been fighting before.

13
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: They work out all of their differences and they're not

14
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: mad anymore, and together they.

15
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 5: Kill lots of terrorists that have sea flour.

16
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 6: I think it is right.

17
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 2: Die Heart as a movie about Charistmas. There's red and

18
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: green decre Yeah, the green is the millions of bucks.

19
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: The red is from all the blood from the punching

20
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: and the shooting and the gore. Die Hard is a

21
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: movie about Christmas.

22
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: Think about it.

23
00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: There was missile toe, there were missiles stay with me

24
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: and McLean had bear feet, get it missed?

25
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: What do you think?

26
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: How are you feeling this?

27
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 7: Yeah?

28
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 8: No?

29
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: And why is there eleven year old watching this?

30
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 9: It's good.

31
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: Die Heart is a movie about Christmas. Because a bearded

32
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 2: man did fly. He was sort of like Santa Clause.

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 2: Instead his name was Hans and he flew through the

34
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: air into the sky. Die Hard is a movie about Christmas.

35
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: All the funny tide clothes, all of.

36
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: The sweaters that we've seen, kind of like now I

37
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: have a machine gun.

38
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 7: Ho ho ho.

39
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: There was packing tap for little surprises. The parents had

40
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: to wrap the McLean.

41
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 7: It was thirty four years back. A never ending debate

42
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 7: has come up about this time every year. I must

43
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 7: confess I've never been a part of it, but other

44
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 7: people on our team have, and that is the enduring question.

45
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 7: Is die Hard a Christmas movie? It is a hotly

46
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 7: debated topic. I think partly because people don't want the

47
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 7: topic to die. They just like talking about the movie

48
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 7: and whether or not it's a Christmas movie. Either you

49
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 7: think it's a Christmas movie or you don't. There is

50
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 7: no in between.

51
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: I'm told I haven't actually seen a movie.

52
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 1: So no, I haven't.

53
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 7: Some people say it's an action movie that takes place

54
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 7: at Christmas, and others say it's an action packed Christmas movie.

55
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: You're welcome to weigh in by email if you'd like Roman.

56
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: Where are you on all this?

57
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 7: I forget Christmas movie all right, Apparently, if you've never

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 7: seen the film, that would be me. It stars Bruce

59
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 7: Willis as John McLean, a wise, cracking New York cop.

60
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 7: Is a strange wife moved the kids out to LA

61
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 7: when she took a new job, so McLean flies out

62
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 7: to spend Christmas with his fan family. He meets his

63
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 7: wife Holly at her office on Christmas Eve. While he's there,

64
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 7: Hans Gruber played by Alan Rickman and his men take

65
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 7: everyone hostage, but McLean manages to slip away unseen.

66
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: He's Bruce Willis, he can do those things.

67
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 7: He spends the rest of the movie as a fly

68
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 7: in their ointment. Screenwriter Stephen Desusa affirmed that it is

69
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 7: a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis says, no, it's a Bruce

70
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 7: Willis movie. The movie's director John McTiernan said, we hadn't

71
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 7: intended it to be a Christmas movie, but the joy

72
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 7: that came from it is what turned it into a

73
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 7: Christmas movie. Does that clear it up for anyone?

74
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:43,840
Speaker 10: No?

75
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 5: Well.

76
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 7: A new trailer was re edited by twentieth Century Studio

77
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 7: formerly twentieth Century Fox when they released the movie in

78
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 7: the new digital release on four K and here's the trailer.

79
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 11: This is John. He just wants to spend Christmas with

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 11: the family.

81
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 8: We'll see what Santa and Mommy can do.

82
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 12: But when he gets stuck at the office party, Merry Christmas,

83
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 12: it'll be a holiday He'll never forget this Christmas.

84
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: It's a time of America.

85
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: So dear good share, only John can drive somebody that crazy.

86
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 11: Get ready to jingle some bells and deck the halls

87
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 11: with bows of Bruce Willis. Get together, Alan Rickman, do

88
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 11: anything you.

89
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 4: Have a chance against oursimistic.

90
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 11: Cowboy together in the greatest Christmas story ever told.

91
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: You got some bad news for you. Dwane Time Booby hat.

92
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: At Harvey starting to get a bad feeling up here.

93
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 11: Harry Christmas, die hard.

94
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,840
Speaker 4: This is their idea of Christmas. I gotta be here

95
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: for New Years.

96
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 7: That certainly seems to make a pretty good case that

97
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 7: this classic is indeed a Christmas movie? Should I watch it?

98
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 7: Remove But when the Hollywood reporters surveyed random people in

99
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 7: twenty eighteen, guess which percentage. Guess what percentage said it

100
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 7: was not a Christmas movie. I already started that sentence

101
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 7: by butt, so I've already tipped you off. Sixty two

102
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 7: percent said it was not a Christmas movie. If die

103
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 7: Hard is not a Christmas movie, then what about die

104
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 7: Hard two, which I also haven't seen. It also took

105
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 7: place at Christmas. One thing for sure, Von Munroe's version

106
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 7: of let its Know at the end of the first

107
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 7: film sure makes it seem like a Chris Smith's movie.

108
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 7: Looking back, What a smooth move that was, because the

109
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 7: chatter around the movie has kept it alive.

110
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 5: All the leather outside it's rife boat, but the fire

111
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 5: so the light bolts and simply no place to go.

112
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 5: Let its know, let us know, let its know, it doesn't.

113
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 3: Show slide stopping.

114
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,480

00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 7: Is that Timmy year again when we get stories of

131
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 7: someone dressed like a Grinch getting arrested? What was it

132
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 7: the bad Santa? What was the movie where all the

133
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:45,760
Speaker 7: Santa claus is getting the fight? Or was that actually real?

134
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 7: I think that was real. Yeah, remember it went viral.

135
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 7: Somebody find that and send that to me. There's there's

136
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 7: a there's mayhem that breaks out amongst these all these

137
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 7: mall Santas and they getting a big fight and it's

138
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 7: just nothing funnier, right, It's the juxtaposition of the you know,

139
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 7: the mean and the happy and like Santa Claus can't

140
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 7: get in a fight anyway. Every year there's a story

141
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 7: and every year we get it of a new person.

142
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 7: This year is a fellow by the name of Tucker

143
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 7: Lee Davis who's dressed as a Grinch and they get arrested.

144
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 7: So this year's story goes like this. Tucker Lee Davis

145
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 7: and a coworker named Ryan Jones were in an altercation

146
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 7: at a work Christmas party at the Hotel Indigo in

147
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 7: Traverse City, Michigan. Davis attended the party as the Grinch

148
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 7: and his buddy Ryan Jones dressed as a reindeer. Now,

149
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 7: let me first say the idea of getting into a

150
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 7: fight at a Christmas party in an outfit and how

151
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 7: that's going to look later. I have a little experience

152
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 7: with that at the our cc our last Christmas party.

153
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 7: Uncle Jerry. Anyone who knows my co best friend, Uncle Jerry.

154
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 7: He's about sixty two sixty three and he's a big fella,

155
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 7: about two sixty two seventy, and he wore a rabbit suit. Now,

156
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 7: the rabbit suit was already awkward. Did you see it?

157
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 7: I mean it's the shoes and all. It's not over

158
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 7: the shoes. I mean it's a onesie, right, It's something

159
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 7: you'd put a little baby in. Except for here's the

160
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 7: late fifties, big brawnie fella and the only thing that

161
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 7: you can see out of it was his face.

162
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: Right.

163
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 7: You know when you go to the amusement park and

164
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 7: they got that cardboard thing and it's all painted and

165
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 7: you put your face. That the only thing he is

166
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 7: doing his face, and he's got the rabbit ears up

167
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 7: and the whole thing he's got his hands inside there

168
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 7: and it's over his feet, So I mean he's in

169
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 7: a onesie, a full on onesie, right. And it was

170
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 7: the employee Christmas party, so we'd closed the place down

171
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 7: to everybody but our team and somebody, some dude had

172
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 7: brought a buddy of his. We don't know why, but

173
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 7: this dude was technically about to be fired anyway because

174
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 7: he was a problem in the workplace. And I don't

175
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 7: know if he knew it or it just he was

176
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 7: just one big bad decision. His buddy comes and since

177
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 7: we provided free food and drink for everybody, we had,

178
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 7: uh we had a casino party. Everybody had to play

179
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 7: and there were prizes and we're having a great time.

180
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 7: And we used to really blow it out at our

181
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 7: Christmas party.

182
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 3: Those were the good old days, ram.

183
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 7: And so Uncle Jerry is there and all of a sudden, Rico,

184
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 7: who was our director of security, comes over and says

185
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 7: to Uncle Jerry, I got a problem with this guy

186
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 7: over here. I'm gonna have to deal with him and

187
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 7: escort him out. And I don't want to have I

188
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 7: don't have to hit somebody at the Christmas party. And

189
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 7: he's a guest of one of our employees. Well, the

190
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 7: employee and the guests were getting so drunk that at

191
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 7: some point the guest was fire. I mean the employee

192
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 7: was fired shortly thereafter. And that's when they knew they

193
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 7: had nothing to lose anymore. And so they decide they

194
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 7: want to get into a fight with our with Rico.

195
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 7: Who's pretty bad, asked dude who was our director's security.

196
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 7: And Uncle Jerry joins in, and they're rolling around in

197
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 7: the asphalt parking lot and Uncle Jerry's in his rabbit suit. Well,

198
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 7: when the Stafford Police department shows up, they understood the situation.

199
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 7: Jerry is stone cold, sob these two guys are drunk

200
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 7: out of their heads down in a headlock to keep

201
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 7: them from hurting anybody else. And there's Uncle Jerry in

202
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 7: a rabbit suit. So once the officers have ascertained that

203
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 7: there's nothing really wrong, they can't help but bust out

204
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 7: laugh and ask if they can have a photo of

205
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 7: Uncle Jerry having apprehended them while in his rabbit suit. Now,

206
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 7: can you imagine if that thing had gone very very

207
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 7: wrong and Jerry had been the purp a supposed to

208
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 7: the good guy in his full on rabbit suit and

209
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 7: when I say full on rabbit suit, let me make

210
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,959
Speaker 7: this weird. You know the guy in the speedo on

211
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 7: the beach who comes up to you and he's talking

212
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 7: in and You're like, I can't look below your chest. Dude,

213
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 7: you're wearing a speed of Well, he was wearing a

214
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 7: slightly two tight rabbit suit. Did I mention he's about

215
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 7: six three two seventy The rabbit suit was designed for

216
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 7: a comfortable fit for someone who was about six two

217
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 7: to ten. So yeah, it was the scene. It's one

218
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 7: of my greatest Uncle Jerry stories of all time. Anyway,

219
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 7: So nobody goes to the Christmas party looking to get

220
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 7: into a fight, but Tucker Lee Davis came in his

221
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 7: Grinch outfit. And if Tucker Lee is like most men,

222
00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 7: he's looking to have his heart swell, two size is

223
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 7: too big. Except alcohol was involved, and I guess Tucker

224
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 7: Lee is an angry drunk because a hotel employee said

225
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 7: that the Grinch was arguing with the man in a

226
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 7: plaid jacket. That's when a hotel employee, Jared Archibald, tried

227
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 7: to intervene. When that happened, the reindeer took Archibald to

228
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 7: the ground. In a quote. This is a witness account

229
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 7: grappling style, and that's when Tucker Lee, dressed as the Grinch,

230
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 7: started to pummel the hotel employee about the head and shoulders.

231
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 7: When the authorities arrived and asked who in the cindiloo

232
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 7: who was responsible for the francas, all fingers pointed to

233
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 7: the man in green, the Grinch. So the popo took

234
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 7: Tucker Lee to the Travers County jail and charged him

235
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 7: with misdemeanor assault and battery. The reindeer was not charged,

236
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 7: and we hear at the Michael Berry Show cannot talk

237
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 7: about the Grinch without pulling from the archive. One of

238
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 7: our favorite a classic about our dear dear friend, the

239
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 7: Congresswoman Chila Jackson Lee.

240
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 14: The cello this is Congresswoman Sheilo Jackson Lee in the

241
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,680

243
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,240

00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: your weave. Jackson Lease.

245
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,600

Speaker 6: Your hall see is Jong.

249
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 5: Every scheme you devise, Michael Barry will debunk Jackson Lee.

250
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 5: The three words that best describe you are as follows,

251
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 5: and you quote frivolous, irresponsible, slap happy.

252
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:09,840

262
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 7: Charlie Brown gets increasingly disgusted with the commercialization of Christmas

263
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 7: and wonders whether anyone even remembers the true meaning of Christmas.

264
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 7: Linus recites his memorable meaning of Christmas. After he finishes,

265
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 7: he steps off stage and says, that's what Christmas is

266
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 7: all about, Charlie Brown.

267
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 9: Is there anyone who knows what Christmas is all about?

268
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,800

271
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 14: The same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch

272
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 14: over their flock by night.

273
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 8: And lo, the Angel of the Lord came upon them.

274
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 8: The glory of the Lord shall round about them. And

275
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 8: they were sore afraid. And the Angel said, unto them,

276
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 8: I fear not, for behold, I bring your tidings of

277

282
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 14: in the anger. And suddenly there was with the Angel

283
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 14: a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying

00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 4: wish when you threw the draw?

318
00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: If I don't might not come through.

319
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 4: What is it you want, Barry? What do you want?

320
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 4: You want? The moon.

321
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 15: Just say the word and I'll throw a lasso around

322
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 15: and pull it down.

323
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 4: Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I'll give you the

324
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 4: moon very I'll take it.

325
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 15: Then what well, then you could swallow it and it

326
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,480
Speaker 15: all dissolves, see and the moon beams and shoot out

327
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 15: of your fingers and your toes and the ends of

328
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 15: your hair.

329
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Am I talking too much?

330
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 11: Yes?

331
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,400
Speaker 16: Why don't you kissers seat talking to death?

332
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: How is that?

333
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 16: Why don't you kissers start talking at.

334
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: A death one man to kiss her?

335
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 4: Huh?

336
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 8: Oh?

337
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 16: You just wasting on the wrong people.

338
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 7: Our research director, Sandy Peterson loves a Christmas story. She

339
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 7: wrote in her submission as to why this was her

340
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 7: choice of what she wanted to be known by quote,

341
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 7: I think that this movie perfectly captures the aching desire

342
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 7: for that one gift that you know it's highly unlikely

343
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 7: you'll ever get. For Ralphie, it was the Red Rider

344
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 7: bb gun. For me, it was a pony. Sandy didn't

345
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 7: ever say if she got that pony. Maybe the story

346
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 7: is better if she didn't.

347
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 16: Are you kidding?

348
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 9: Stick my toa stupid poets dog?

Speaker 14: That's cause you know he stick?

Speaker 9: Oh yeah, like double dog dare yet I drimble dog

Speaker 9: a go way.

355
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 7: Jim Mudd's favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation because he's brilliant.

356
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say that's a good one. Not my favorite,

357
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 7: but a good one. The only sequel to National Lampoons

358
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 7: Vacation that holds up to the original. Fight Me. In

359
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 7: this film, our hero Clark Griswold is hosting the family

360
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,120
Speaker 7: Christmas celebration at his house for the first time. It's

361
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 7: a huge to do and Clark wants it to be perfect.

362
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 7: That's the setup for all of the National Lampoons, right. Well,

363
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 7: nothing goes as plan, especially when cousin Eddie shows up

364
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 7: in an RV unannounced with his family in tow. When

365
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 7: Clark finds out that Eddie is broke, he offers to

366
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 7: buy gifts for Eddie's kids.

367
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 4: Here we go, Ellen, and I want to help you

368
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 4: give the kids a nice Christmas. Clark, I couldn't do that.

369
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 10: No, no, insist, Oh no, I'm not one for charity.

370
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Now I know that, Eddie.

371
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: This is a charity. It's family.

372
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 15: Now, come on, if you don't tell me what they want,

373
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 15: I'll go out and get it on my own.

374
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 10: Boy, this is a surprise. Clark gets a real nice surprise,

375
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 10: Just a real nice surprise. Here's a little less alphabetical,

376
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 10: starting with Catherine. And if it wouldn't be too much,

377
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 10: I'd like to get something for you, Clark, something really nice.

378
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 7: So Ramone's favorite submission for some reason was or is.

379
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 7: I guess it's active today, but you submitted this a

380
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 7: couple of weeks ago. Ramon's favorite submission as a movie.

381
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,879
Speaker 7: I don't know. You gotta tell us which version it is,

382
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 7: but anyway, it is Scrooge.

383
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 4: Hellh you that boy? Me, sir? Yes, you a good fellow.

384
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 4: What day is today?

385
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 14: Today?

386
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 8: What's Christmas Day?

387
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 11: Of course Christmas Day?

388
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: I haven't missed it. The spirits did it all in

389
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 4: one night. Well they can do anything they like, of

Speaker 4: course the case. Hello, my fine fellow.

Speaker 16: Hello, do you know the Poulterer's in the next street,

392
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 16: but one on the corner.

393
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 14: I should hope I did.

394
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: Intelligent boy, remarkable boy.

395
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 16: Do you know if they've sold the prize turkey that

396
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 16: was hanging there?

397
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: What the worst, biggest me, delightful boy, pleasure talking.

398
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 16: To the one as big as you hanging there.

399
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 4: Now we're going by it.

400
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 16: Yes, going by it and bring them round so that

401
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 16: I may tell them where to deliver it.

402
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 4: Come back with the man. I'll give you a shitting

403
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 4: Come back in less than five minutes.

404
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 16: I'll give you half a crown. I'm stressing myself so

405
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 16: much to do lose anytime.

406
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm happy. It's an a.

407
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,440

00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 4: Gee? Is he drunken man?

Speaker 16: Merry Christmas to everybody and.

410
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:34,479
Speaker 4: Happy New Year to the world. This is the Michael

411
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 4: Berry Show.

412
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:57,439
Speaker 17: Now it's about what Santa. It seems that we've crossed

413
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 17: some kind of line.

414
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 13: It breins some folks holiday.

415
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: Mood to suggest that he's a white.

416
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 17: Dude, even though he has been the whole time. Now

417
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 17: it's about a why Santa? Thank you for pointing out

418
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:44,919
Speaker 17: this flaw in spirit of not feeling aft doubt. What

419
00:25:45,359 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 17: do you think about adding a few penguins to Kwanza? Now? Oh,

420
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 17: it's about a white Santa. Is there anything else that

421
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 17: you need? Because it's all always something.

422
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 13: Maybe when we've got nothing, we can celebrate diversity.

423
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 7: We thought we'd go out with one of our favorites,

424
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:49,159
Speaker 7: Paul Harvey. He tells a heartfelt Christmas story about a

425
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 7: man who is skeptical of the Nativity tale. While his

426
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 7: family's at church, he finds himself faced with a flock

427
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 7: of birds struggling in a snowstorm, and despite his efforts

428
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 7: to help them, the birds are afraid of it. I

429
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 7: hope you.

430
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 3: Enjoy it as much as we do. The music is

431
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:16,959
Speaker 3: from Akira the Dawn, who puts music over interesting things

432
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 3: like this.

433
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 1: The man I'm talking about was not a scrooge.

434
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 4: Now.

435
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 15: He was a kind a decent, mostly good man, generous

436
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 15: to his family, and upright in his dealings with other men.

437
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 15: But he just did not believe in all of that

438
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 15: incarnation stuff which the churches proclaim.

439
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 1: At Christmas time.

440
00:27:49,800 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 15: It just did not make sense, and he was too

441
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 15: honest to pretend otherwise. He could not swallow the Jesus'

442
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 15: story about God coming to earth. As a man, he

443
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 15: told his wife, I'm truly sorry to distress you, but

444
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 15: I'm just not going with you to church this Christmas Eve.

445
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 15: He said he'd feel like a hypocrite, that he'd much

446
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 15: rather just stay home, but that he would wait up

447
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 15: for them, so he stayed and they went to the

448
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 15: midnight service. Now shortly after the family drove away and

449
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 15: the car, snow began to fall. He went to the

450
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 15: window to watch the flurries getting heavier and heavier. Then

451
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 15: he went back to his fireside chair began to read

452
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 15: his newspaper. Minutes later, he was startled by a thudding sound,

453
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 15: and then another, then yet another. At first he thought

454
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 15: somebody must be throwing snowballs against the living room window,

455
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 15: But when he went to the front door to investigate,

456
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 15: he found a flock of birds huddled out there miserably

457
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 15: in the snow. They had been in the storm in

458
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 15: a desperate search for shelter. They had tried to fly

459
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 15: through his large landscape window.

460
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,920
Speaker 1: That was what had been making the sound.

461
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 15: Well, he couldn't let those poor creatures just lie there

462
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 15: and freeze, so he remembered the barn where his children

463
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 15: stabled their pony.

464
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 1: That would provide a warm shelter.

465
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 15: All he would have to do is direct the birds

466
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 15: into that shelter.

467
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: Quickly, he put on a coat and galoshes, and.

468
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 15: He trapped through the deepening snow to the barn, and

469
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 15: he opened the doors wide and inside the barn, he

470
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 15: turned on a light so the birds would know the

471
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 15: way in, but the birds did not come in, so

472
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 15: he figured that food would entice it. He went back

473
00:29:56,600 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 15: into the house and touched some breadcrumbs and sprinkled those

474
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 15: on the snow, making a trail of bread crumbs to

475
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 15: the yellow lighted, wide open doorway of the stable. But

476
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 15: to his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs. The

477
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:21,360
Speaker 15: birds just continued to flop around helplessly in the snow.

478
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: He tried catching them, he could not.

479
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 15: He tried showing them into the barn by walking around

480
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 15: them waving his arms, but instead they scattered in every direction,

481
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 15: every direction except into the warm lighted barn. And that's

482
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 15: why he realized that they were afraid of him.

483
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: They were afraid of him.

484
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 15: To him, he reasoned, I'm a strange, terrifying creature. If

485
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 15: only I could think of someone to let him know

486
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 15: that they can trust me, that I'm not trying to

487
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 15: hurt them, but to help them. But how any move

488
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 15: he mad tended to frighten them and confuse them, they

489
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 15: just would not follow. They would not be led or

490
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 15: showed because they feared Yeah, and he thought to himself,

491
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 15: if only I could be a bird. Now I could

492
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 15: be a bird and mingle with them, and speak their

493
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 15: language and tell them not to be afraid. Then I

494
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:32,200
Speaker 15: could show them the way to the safe, warm barn.

495
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 15: But I would have to be one of.

496
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 18: Them, wouldn't I, so they couldn't see.

497
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 15: And hear and understand. At that moment, the church bells

498
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 15: began to ring. The sound reached his ears above the

499
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 15: sounds of the wind. And he stood there listening to

500
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 15: the bells at de Staffy Dails, listening to the bells,

501
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 15: feeling the glad tidings of Christmas, and he sank to

502
00:32:23,840 --> 00:33:02,880
Speaker 15: his knees in the snow.

503
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: I hope for you

504
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 15: And those you love, this will be a wonderfully merry

505
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 15: Christmas
