00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: to talk about a topic which is truly evergreen. That

16
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: topic Christmas. It doesn't matter what time of year it is.

17
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: I'm always down to discuss Christmas. Every year, the Christmas

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: shopping season begins earlier and earlier, and it's still not

19
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: early enough for me. I think holiday shopping should begin

20
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: right after the fourth of July. Watch some fireworks, eat

21
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: some corn on the cob, and then hit cage Jeweler's done. Carolina.

22
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: Did I ever tell you about the time I ran

23
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 1: into pop superstar Jewel at a cave jewelers? Oh no,

24
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: that's amazing. Yes, it was so fun. You know what.

25
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I actually saw Katie Perry as Fred Perry. Oh. Interesting,

26
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: And she was just in line. She waited in line

27
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: with us, and then she checked out right, and she said,

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: you know, maybe she don't. I mean, I'm thinking she

29
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: talked a little bit with the cash here and sure,

30
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: she just you know, you get it, you get a

31
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: vibe from people. She just seemed like a really good person.

32
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: And did she buy anything? Does she make a purchase? Um? Yeah,

33
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: she made a I mean it almost doesn't matter. I

34
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 1: can't remember the details of the story, but I remember

35
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,519
Speaker 1: being like, oh, I'm I want to be friends with that. Yeah,

36
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: have you ever seen that was the thing when when

37
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: I saw Jewel and I was like, that's jewel. Yeah,

38
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: that's I can't believe it's jewel. And I pulled people

39
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: aside and I'm like, do you know who that is?

40
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: And they were like, yeah, that's jewel. And anyway, I

41
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: wish pictures did you get of her? I must have

42
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: gotten fiftys and video just clicking away and video. And

43
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: but then I was still too shy to say hello.

44
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: That's better, that's probably. That's a nice way of like

45
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: respecting her privacy. She bought a bracelet, a bracelet with

46
00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: a charmed bracelet. That's a story. That's the dogs and stars.

47
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: And that's crazy because we both like dogs too, Oh Jewel, Yeah,

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: like you like dogs. Jewel like dogs. I like dogs.

49
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: It's so fun when those things line up that way. Yeah,

50
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: that's a coincidence for sure. I remember you told me

51
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: you saw another famous person, Ron Ron Howard claimed direct

52
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: for those of you listening that he's an acclaimed director,

53
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: a real artist, and a child actor and an adult

54
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: actor Richie Cunningham and Opie Cunningham. Yeah, he was just

55
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: leaving a hotel with his family and he just seemed

56
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: like a family guy, you know, and he put on

57
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: a hat. Oh was it was he out of Howard

58
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: Johnson's or was it just a regular hotel? It was Rearward,

59
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: So it wasn't Ron Howard at a Howard Johnson No, unfortunately,

60
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: it was just a regular hotel in Los Angeles. But

61
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: that is unfortunately, so it's not a rule. You know, No,

62
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: it's not a rule. Celebrities go everywhere, go to the

63
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 1: bathroom just like us do. They do. And there's a

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: study that just I was just handed this study out

65
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: of Johns Hopkins that celebrities go to the bathroom more

66
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: often than civilians. You're kidding. And I don't know who

67
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: volunteered for that study, but they somehow we're able to

68
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: track it. And that's what's interesting about celebrities. Yeah, whether

69
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: there's so much more interesting than normal people, because by far,

70
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: they'd blow normal people out of the water. When I

71
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: saw Ron Howard, I actually forgot that. I had a

72
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: mom that you know what, that's a that's that's a

73
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: common response when I saw it. When I saw Jewel,

74
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: I forgot I had legs. I just fell into the ground.

75
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: I collapsed. I was like, I can't, I've lost my

76
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: ability to walk. And I was like, no, which, I

77
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: can walk, it takes a second, but I couldn't. Yeah,

78
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: I was in a I was wheelchair bound for about

79
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: a month after my Jewels siding. By the way, Caroline,

80
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: let me ask you this why we're on the holidays,

81
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: What is your favorite holiday commercial? I want you to

82
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 1: think on that if you will um for me, it's

83
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 1: the Budweiser Clydesdale's. I mean, every time I see that commercial,

84
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: I know it's the holidays. Here. They come down a

85
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: snowy lane with bells around their necks, just doing their

86
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 1: thing that they love to do, and that's pull a

87
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: sleigh full of beer. They don't even know that they're

88
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: in a commercial, and yet they are giving cheer to

89
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: a world desperate for peace and hope. And I swear

90
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: to you, and I'm not being facetious here, but if

91
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: we could get every world leader in a room to

92
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: sit side by side, lock arms and watch the Budweiser

93
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: Clydesdale holiday commercial game over world peace one, war, strive,

94
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 1: poverty conflict zero. Yeah, that's how strongly I feel about

95
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: that commercial. It's artfully, tastefully done, and it just it

96
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: makes you feel, it makes you feel warm inside. And

97
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 1: and yet it does not make me want to buy

98
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: bud Wiser. No, but in this political climate, what a

99
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: powerful message, you know it. We need things like this,

100
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: you know, no, no kidding? Yeah, So, do you have

101
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: a favorite holiday commercial that runs during the Christmas season?

102
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: You know, I like the holiday car commercials um where

103
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: the cars have bows on them. Oh yes, when the

104
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: family says, come out, I have something. There's a surprise,

105
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: and then it's a it's the gift. The surprise is

106
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: a gift, and the gift is a car with a

107
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: bow on it. Yeah no, if those are beautiful. Um,

108
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't really like cars or being in cars. Um

109
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 1: my parents never got me a car. But I just

110
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: think it's cute, like like a puppy with a like

111
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: a puppy coming out of a present box, you know, yes, yeah,

112
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: like a fat puppy coming out coming out of a box.

113
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: It's a present, right, and it's on Christmas morning, and

114
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: the kids are excited. I mean, that's on an ad.

115
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: That's just something that's fun to think. I knew we

116
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: had some We had some neighbors, the Jacobson family, and

117
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: they the parents did that and they put the puppy

118
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: in the box for the children and they ran down

119
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: on and it was the one thing they really wanted

120
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: was a puppy. Um. And they ran down and they

121
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: opened all the presents, like there's one more, and they

122
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: opened it and it was the puppy and he was

123
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: just blissfully asleep and they were so excited and then

124
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: they wanted to wake him up, of course, and he

125
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: wouldn't wake up because he was dead. They put the

126
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: puppy in the box too long for a month, and

127
00:07:56,040 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: they just wrapped it up and kept it under the tree. Well,

128
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: that's a good message for our listeners. You know, if

129
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna do you're gonna do it. You know, you

130
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 1: gotta remember it is a live animal. You've got to

131
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: feed it and keep it alive until Christmas morning, or

132
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: at least. If you're going to leave the puppy in

133
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: the box that long, you should poke holes exactly, poke holes,

134
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: give it a treat occasionally. Um, you know, basic things

135
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: like that. While we're on the subject of commercials, have

136
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: you seen the Medieval Times commercials? I love the Medieval

137
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: Times commercials. I don't care if it's the holidays or not. No,

138
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: those are just good ads. They're great ads. They're not

139
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: even they're just they're like miniature movies. I feel like

140
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: a lot of Game Game of Thrones episodes were based

141
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 1: on the Medieval Times commercials. Yes, with the swashbuckling and

142
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: the fighting. No, they're so beautifully shot. The turkey legs huzza.

143
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: W D forty has a really good holiday commercial because

144
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 1: right around the holidays, w D forty always puts out

145
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 1: its holiday version of a can of w D forty,

146
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: and it's it's not the blue and gold that we've

147
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: come to know and love. It's more of a collector's edition.

148
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I love the one to where the where the little

149
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: kid has left cookies for Santa by the fireplace and

150
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: falls asleep hoping to catch a glimpse of St. Nick

151
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: and then he and he wakes up just in time,

152
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: and Santa gives him a sly wink before he disappears

153
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: up the chimney. I love that commercial. I love it.

154
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what the products for, but every kid

155
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: fantasizes about seeing Santa, every team, everyone. In fact, one

156
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: of my favorite Christmas memories was when I was gosh,

157
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: I must have been seven years old. It was Christmas

158
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 1: Eve and my mother and I were putting some last

159
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: second decorations on the tree. And we had this this beauty,

160
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: full fake Christmas tree that we would assemble every season.

161
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: It Uh it looked like a fresh Douglas fur from

162
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: about twenty ft away, but up close you could you

163
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: could tell it was a metal tree. Uh. In fact,

164
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: you had to put on oven myths to decorate it,

165
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: or the tree would cut you two shreds. We really

166
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: had to earn it every Christmas in the Burgundy household.

167
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: But it was worth it. It was worth it to

168
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 1: decorate that, that beautiful thing. And when when we plugged

169
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: in the last string of lights and Mom turned on

170
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: the switch, it would take your breath away. And I'm

171
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: not just saying that, it would just light up and

172
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: and once again though, another reason for the oven myths.

173
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: You couldn't hold onto the tree and plug the lights

174
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: in and at the same time, or you would get electrocuted.

175
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 1: And I don't mean a light shock electrocuted. I mean

176
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: raccoon crawled into the transformer box to keep warm, electrocuted,

177
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: that kind of electrocuted, char marks, electrocuted, Yeah, turn your

178
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: hair white, electrocuted. I'm talking electrocuted, yeah, zapped. So as

179
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: I was saying we were done decorating the tree, when

180
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: I heard a commotion in the back patio and I

181
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: looked up to see Santa himself with a bag full

182
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: of goodies. It turns out it was our neighbor, doctor

183
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: James tarn Cross, a dermatologist who dressed up every year

184
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: to deliver a fruitcake. Long story short. He was neither

185
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: a doctor, nor a dermatologist or a neighbor, but that's

186
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: for another show. Anyway. I I screamed, Santa is early,

187
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: and I sprinted to give him a hug. And I

188
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: got a full head of steam, running as fast as

189
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: my little legs could take me. Santa was here at

190
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: my house. I just couldn't believe it. So I'm in

191
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: a full sprint right there. Only one problem. We had

192
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: forgotten to put our holiday safety stickers on the sliding

193
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: glass patio door, and I went flying into that door.

194
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:12,319
Speaker 1: Bamnham breakneck to me, do you ever done that? Even

195
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: run to the patio door like that? I smacked into

196
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: that patio door and I opened up a five inch

197
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 1: cut on my forehead. It's so there. I was on

198
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, sitting in my blood caked footy pajamas, receiving

199
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: stitches from dermatologists and neighbor Dr James tarn Cross once again,

200
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 1: not a doctor or a dermatologist or a neighbor, just

201
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 1: a creep with a lot of cologne, trying to get

202
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 1: into my mom's pants through her kid by dressing as Santa.

203
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: The end, ah do you have a favorite Christmas memory?

204
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: You know, I had a lot of normal Christmas. Yeah,

205
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: but that that was before my parents got divorced. But

206
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: my most memorable one is probably when my mom took

207
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,599
Speaker 1: me and my sister to Tijuana. Oh I love t

208
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: j Yeah, that was after my parents got divorced. Um,

209
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 1: but south of the border. Yeah. We actually took a

210
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: photo on a donkey that was spray painted to look

211
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,440
Speaker 1: like a zebra. And did you think it was a zebra? Yeah? No,

212
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: it was a really it was a really magic That's

213
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: a great childhood memory. Yeah. I didn't really understand divorce,

214
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: so I didn't understand they weren't going to be together

215
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: ever again. Um, and it's just something that I've been

216
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: really still processed or I don't really talk about it. Yeah,

217
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: it's a divorce. Yeah, a lot of kids go through it.

218
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: It happens a lot. Yeah. No, I think that doesn't

219
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: minimize the pain of it. But that must have been

220
00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: a good Christmas, right Yeah. Yeah, No, definitely, I mean

221
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 1: it still was Christmas. You still got presents. Just because

222
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: your folks got divorced doesn't mean all of a sudden

223
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: the presence go away. No, No, definitely just just trying

224
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: to say it's totally hard, and sometimes the presents double right,

225
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 1: that's true Christmas and Dad's Christmas and jack pot that

226
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: Hey Mom, hey dad, can you get a divorce? I

227
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: want to double up my goods. I definitely didn't ask

228
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: for that, but so that's a fun memory. Sure, let's

229
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: just stick with that. By the way, if you're just

230
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: tuning into the Ron Burgundy podcast, Um, you can tune

231

238
00:14:53,720 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Jim Jimmy James Cagney. Oh no, it's a Jimmy Stewart Stewart.

240
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:10,080
Speaker 1: Jimmy Stewart classic. Yeah, no, it was really nice. My

241
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: parents showed it to me right before they told me

242
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: that they were going to get a divorce. Um, and

243
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: that my mom was taking us to Tiajuana for Christmas. Um,

244
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: and it was just like a good reminder that you know,

245
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 1: they're still good out there. Um and um. Yeah. I

246
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: guess it's something that my favorite Christmas movie is die Hard.

247
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: Oh that's not a Christmas movie, I know, but it

248
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: takes place on Christmas. Okay. That's why on Christmas Day,

249
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: whenever I opened a present that I really like, it is, yeah,

250
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: yippy kai a mother wore each present. Well, if it's

251
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: the present I really like, it's like, oh oh thank you,

252
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: so oh oh my goodness, a Rolex watch yippy ka mother. Wow.

253
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: Even when I walked through a busy mall or shopping

254
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: areat Christmas, I just scream yippy kai a mother far

255
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. And I think it gets people in the

256
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: Christmas mood. I don't know it would scare me. I

257
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: walked into a j crue and just yelled yippy kai

258
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:21,920
Speaker 1: a mother farer. Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't know. If

264
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: to me because of who I am. Wait, didn't you

265

Speaker 1: record a Christmas album? Yes, I did, Thank you for asking.

Speaker 1: I actually recorded four Christmas albums, all in the same year,

267
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: my most famous single being of course, Christmas Time. It's

268
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: a wonderful time. It's Christmas time. It's the you time,

Speaker 1: for far a new Christmas time. It's my favorite time.

00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: It's the only time because it's Christmas time. Quick check

275
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: to time, any time to time. You get the We

276
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 1: didn't realize until it was playing on the radio that

277
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 1: we had made a hundred and ninety references to time

278
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: in a two and a half minute song. Yeah, I know,

279
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: but I still think it's one of those songs that

280
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: is such a holiday classic that you don't really think

281
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: about how many time references there are. You're sweet to

282
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: say that, but trust me, that's that's that's not what

283
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 1: the old internet thinks. Didn't you have to stop reading

284
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: the comments? Yeah, I know. I always that's my New

285
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: Year's resolution every year. Don't the comments because you start

286
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: around nine pm and then it's over and I'm obsessed.

287
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: Try to find the good ones. Yeah, and sometimes you

288
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 1: got a dig, you know, And I'm like, the good

289
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: ones will come with the rising sun, and they never do.

290
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: Didn't you have another Christmas classic called Crying Shame? Oh?

291
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 1: You mean it's a crying shame there are no presents tonight.

292
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: It's a crying shame that Christmas won't happen this year.

293
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: No one cares, No one hears, no one sees your

294
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: tears as they drop to the ground on Christmas More

295
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Infant Jesus. That song I wrote because most, if not

296
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: all Christmas songs are upbeat, and I I just thought

297
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: there'd be a chance for a sad Christmas song in

298
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 1: the marketplace, and that was proven wrong. But you take

299
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: your lumps and you move on. Sure, I mean, I

300
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 1: think people appreciate someone who tries something different, and I

301
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: think that song is just ahead of its time. Maybe

302
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,199
Speaker 1: maybe I appreciate that. Probably not. Yeah, I don't think

303
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: anyone is clamoring for a rerelease of crying shame. Um,

304
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,960

331
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,720
Speaker 1: good one. The look on your face when you unwrapped that.

332
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: Did you really get Jimmy CON's signature on that? It

333
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 1: was signed by Jimmy Con, wasn't it? Sure? Okay, yeah, no,

334
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 1: I forged it, Carolina, You're too good. I'm pretty good

335
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: at forging celebrity autographs in. But I couldn't quite get

336
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: Jimmy CON's down. Yeah. You know how many hustlers I ruined?

337
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: I just didn't. I mean, later I realized ron just

338
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: practice on a piece of scratch paper. You don't have

339
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: to buy a stack of hustlers to work on Jimmy

340
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 1: CON's signature. It just seems like a weird actor, and

341
00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: I never heard you talk about him. That's why, you know,

342
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: That's why my garage I'm always like, don't go near

343
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: that corner. Those are all fake signed copies of hustler

344
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: Jimmy con fake signed Wow. But anyway, I'm still glad

345
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: you enjoyed the gift. Did you ever look through the pages? Um? No,

346
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 1: I did not. I don't look at stuff like that.

347
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: One of my favorite gifts was a metal detector. Have

348
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,400
Speaker 1: you ever seen oftentimes you'll see people on the beach

349
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: with the with the metal sectors looking for trinkets and

350
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Well, when when I was a kid,

351
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: I received a metal detector and I absolutely loved it.

352
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: I would get home from school and I'd rush to

353
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: the beach down in San Diego and hunt for buried treasure.

354
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 1: I never worked a summer job because I would. I

355
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: would collect anywhere from nine to twelve thousand dollars and change.

356
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: I know, really that's a lot of change. And they

357
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: hated me at the bank because I refused to rule

358
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: the change and I would just bring it in big,

359
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: big grocery bags doubled. I'd have a double up the

360
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: grocery banks because they're so heavy, and I would make

361
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: the teller counted out in front of me, and I

362
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: had already pre counted it, so I knew exactly how

363
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: much there was. Well, have you already pre counted it?

364
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't you just go ahead and put the change

365
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: in money? Wouldn't that have been easy? I know you

366
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 1: would think that I would do that, but I just

367
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: didn't want the bank teller to get off easy. For

368
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: some reason, I can't explain it. I just really wanted

369
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: her to do her job well. Anyway, one day, I'm

370
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: scouring the beach and my metal detector is going berserk.

371
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: It just won't stop beeping right. So I'm wondering what

372
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: what is going on here? And I I walk almost

373
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: I walk the length I would say it's three feet

374
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: the whole time. The beeping just keeps going and going

375
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 1: and going and going and going. But it's consistent as

376
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: if it's one chunk of metal. Well, I start to dig,

377
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and I dig, and I dig and I dig next thing,

378
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: and I look up and there are fifty beach goers

379
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: helping me dig. We dig well into the night, and finally,

380
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: at seven am the following morning, we reach pay dirt.

381
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 1: Teenager Ron Burgundy and his prize metal detector had discovered

382
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: it World War two Japanese submarine missing an action for

383
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: over seventy years. Yes, it was truly incredible and it

384
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: was people just erupted and cheers. A Japanese sub It

385
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: had been missing for over seventy years in action, and

386
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden we start hearing this ping ping, ping, ping,

387
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: ping ping pink and we opened up the hatch and

388
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: everyone was still alive. No, No, they were just skeletons

389
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:45,680
Speaker 1: in there. Jesus. Yeah, but it was. It was very incredible. Um.

390
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 1: The Japanese government at that time invited me to the

391
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: Tokyo Cherry Blossom Festival for honoring their war dead. Very moving. Ah,

392
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 1: so I got to go to Tokyo. Uh, at least

393
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: I think I was in Tokyo. I hope that was Tokyo,

394
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 1: but regardless it was. It was a very moving and

395
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: a wonderful Christmas. Wow. Yeah, that story is incredible, missing

396
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: for over seventy years, and it was it was under

397
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: their feet the whole time. Yeah. I can't believe it

398
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: just buried under the sand. Under the sand. Yeah, So

399
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: I guess the moral to that story is, um get

400
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: yourself a metal detector and you might could be your

401
00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: key to adventure. M hmm, yeah, right, should we take

402
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:45,199
Speaker 1: another break? Yeah, sure, let's take a break. Are you okay? Yeah? No,

403
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 1: I'm just interested. Are you mad at me? No? No? Alright,

404
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: it's good. Come up next. We have a wonderful guest

405
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,240

00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,800
Speaker 1: our guests that we have joining us here in studio,

409
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 1: a gentleman by the name of Andrew. He has a

410
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:19,679
Speaker 1: very interesting story. So for our Christmas episode, Ron asked

411
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 1: me to find someone who celebrated Christmas. That was the

412
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 1: only directive. So it was the last minute decision. I

413
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: was in line in Starbucks. I asked, has anyone here,

414
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: out of curiosity, celebrated the holiday Christmas? Um? Andrew was

415
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: a gentleman in front of me. Um. He agreed to

416
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: a discussed the holiday and his experience with it in

417
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: exchange for a fee. Um, and we're paying him. We

418
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: can discuss that later as long as it doesn't come

419
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: out of my bi paycheck. I know, I know. We've

420
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: bab has got to make his bones. I always say

421
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 1: that what does Papa have to make? I wish you

422
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't make me finish that. Bob has got to make

423
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: his what his bones? I would like to move on.

424
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the studio, Andrew. Understand from Carolina's introduction you

425
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: are an expert on Christmas? What do you? I mean,

426
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: what don't you know about Christmas? Well, to clarify, I

427
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm an expert on Christmas, but I

428
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: do celebrate it. Okay, great, we also have you? Have

429
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: you always celebrated Christmas? I mean yeah, I think that

430
00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: was a little boy. I mean I grew up in

431
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: a household at celebrated and why because you just you

432
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 1: loved it so much? Well, I mean it's the holiday

433
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: that I think you know a lot of Christy. Maybe

434
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: a lot of people celebrate I don't know. I just

435
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: I think it's how did you become expert on Christmas? Again,

436
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: I probably know as much about Christmas as you're average American.

437
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:10,480
Speaker 1: I would assume, huh, I think you're being coy. You

438
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: can tell us more. I think you're holding an ace

439
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: and three jacks, but they're dressed in Christmas colors and

440
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 1: one has a little Santa Beard. Okay, so how do

441
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: you celebrate someone who's a Christmas expert like yourself. I'm

442
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 1: just curious, how would you celebrate differently than say, a

443
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: layman like myself, the average Christmas uh participant. I mean, honestly,

444
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: I think most of us celebrate Christmas in a similar way,

445
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: at least my friends and I would. You know, like

446
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: when I was a boy, you wouldn't wake up in

447
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: the morning and you would go downstairs and there would

448
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 1: be presents under the tree on Christmas Day. Yeah, it

449
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: would be on Christmas Day, and some people open on

450
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. What do you think of that? Now? I

451
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 1: know that that's a little controversial. I think that's a

452
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: different kind of cheating. Mm hmm. I don't you know.

453
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I just know from my experience.

454
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: We would wake up in the morning and we would

455
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,880

458
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: Maybe go check your stocking? Well that and sure enough

459
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: I checked my stocking. Guess what was in there? An

00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: orange and some playing cards. Give me a fucking break Okay, geez, anyway,

461
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,959
Speaker 1: I digress. So, being a Christmas expert, you choose to

462
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: open them on Christmas Day. Yeah, that's that was a

463
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: typical of our family. Would and what would you do

464
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: after that? Well, you know, I mean when we were young,

465
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: we would play with the toys for a while and

466
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: then there would you know, maybe be like some breakfast

467
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: or something that we would eat and and but you know,

468
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: you prepare for later, maybe a meal or something in

469
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: family gets together and maybe you have a relatives there

470
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: or something to eat. And would you would you leave

471
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: would you leave a treat for Santa the night before? Maybe?

472
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, when you when you're young, you you know,

473
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: you leave cookies and milk and a little note for

474
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: for Santa and hopes that he gets it. And you know,

475
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: of course, I mean I'm a father now and oh

476
00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: so you have children, I do, so we celebrate that

477
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: Christmas basically the same way that I celebrated it. We

478
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: would leave Santa a chuck roast interesting, yeah, with potatoes

479
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,680
Speaker 1: and all the trimmings. And whether they're in the morning,

480
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: they would always he would always take a you know,

481
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,520
Speaker 1: I think he's got he's got so much ground, he's

482
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: got a cover. He doesn't want to get way down. Um,

483
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: so he would just take a delicate little bite and

484
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: so we eat the rest of that chuck roast for

485
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: that week, and we make it last until All Queens Day,

486
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: which I believe this January. M Yeah, we'll have to

487
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: look into that. You just did cookies and milk. What's

488
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: you're feeling on holiday fruitcakes? Um? They weren't big in

489
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: our household, but we would have their little dents. Don't

490
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: you think it's a heavier kids, Yes, yeah, a heavier cake. Yeah.

491
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: Do you do you watch die Hard on Christmas? Die

492
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: Hard is not really a Christmas movie? Well? Yeah, I

493
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: was discussed sort of. That's more of an action thriller.

494
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 1: You can watch anything. I think it takes place on Christmas,

495
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: And I right you. You know what, the more I

496
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 1: talked to you just sound like an ordinary guy who

497
00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: celebrates Christmas and you're not a Christmas at all. I

498
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 1: think that's what I told you. Your friend here, Carolina,

499
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: is that what he told you? He was just asked

500
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: why did you bring him in then? Because you just

501
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: asked me to kid someone to celebrate Christmas? So I

502
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: had like thirty minutes before the podcast, plenty of time,

503
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: and I got someone who celebrated Christmas. But I thought

504
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: that he would know more, you'd have more insight. It's

505
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: like a regular guy. I don't even know. This guy's

506
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: a dud. I can hear that. Andrew. It is a

507
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: pleasure to have you here in the studio. UM. A

508
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: lot of people do interesting things. I've noticed. For instance,

509
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: some families it's a tradition to go see a movie

510
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:30,479
Speaker 1: on Christmas, right, Or some people are especially here in

511
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: the California area, are really into fitness. And do you

512
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: go to the gym on Christmas Day? Because I think

513
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: about it, it's one of the few places that still

514
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: open on Christmas, the gym. Probably for a good reason.

515
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 1: Uh No, I I think that would be weird. Because

516
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: we used to We used to hit the heavy bag

517
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: after we'd open our presence. We go down to the basement,

518
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 1: hit the heavy bag, and I'd get on one of

519
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: those nineteen fifties jiggle machine, you know the belt that

520
00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 1: goes around your waist and goest go got go, got

521
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: got got got got got gog, or you could set

522
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: it to a higher speed. One time, one time I

523
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,800
Speaker 1: fainted and I had it at the high speed and

524
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,840
Speaker 1: gerger and then it got around my neck and almost

525
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:25,280
Speaker 1: afisiated me. Those machines aren't very effective, if I understand correctly,

526
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: in helping you the nineteen fifties jiggle machine. Uh, Carolina,

527
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: why don't you ask the US Olympic Committee if they

528
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: are effective? Because they are currently in use as part

529
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: of their training for the track and field team. So

530
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: tell that to USA Olympics. Andrew one another question. Do

531
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: do you like egg nog or do you find it

532
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: too thick? I like, yeah, I do too. I think

533
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,479
Speaker 1: it's Yeah, it's very delicious. I don't wish they would

534
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: fill at the other times of the year. I've always

535
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,720
Speaker 1: said that. I've always said, anyone who starts selling eggnog

536
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: year round, that's a million dollar business. Ron actually usually

537
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: asks for eggnog, and someone says, can I get you coffee?

538
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:17,399
Speaker 1: I'll take an eggnog. I would love an eggnog. Hot

539
00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: summer day. Big picture of eggnog. I mean it's a

540
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: little fattening. Yeah, I mean it's a treat. HM put

541
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,320
Speaker 1: a little something extra in it, Do you know what

542
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean? I mean, I don't That's not how I like,

543
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 1: but I get it a little more bourbon. Hold the eggnog, right,

544
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 1: not not for me, but some people, but for some people.

545
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 1: And not for me either, but for some people. In

546
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,919
Speaker 1: quotes air quotes, Well, huh, this is I'm just gonna

547
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: say this is probably more me than you. But this

548
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 1: has been a terrible interview. Okay, do you mind if

549
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: we send you home? We're not sending you home, We're

550
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,120
Speaker 1: just gonna let you go out. We're just gonna do

551
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,719
Speaker 1: we still have to pay you. Who do I talk

552
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: to about seventy five? I didn't know what to say.

553
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: He wouldn't go for twenty Carolina. We can get it

554
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: from the talent booker. We can also get it from

555
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 1: your pocketbook, okay, because I don't. I don't want to

556
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 1: go to the talent booker again and ask for more money.

557
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I already she already gave me five for the for

558
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: the weekend. I need some walking around cash. That's not okay.

559
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 1: We are on a tight budget. I know where it will,

560
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: trust me. These podcasts are supposed to get me through

561
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 1: the end of the year, and I haven't seen a

562
00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: check yet. Okay, I just I wish you wouldn't put

563
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 1: her in that position, Andrew were happy to pay you.

564
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 1: Carolina will pay you out of her her own money. Well,

565
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 1: thank you. Can you take do you need all seventy

566
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: five dollars up front? Yeah? I mean that's what you're promised.

567
00:36:56,440 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: That's it, you know what, It's the least we can do. Um,

568
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,319
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Andrew supposed expert on Christmas, turns

569
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 1: out he was just a guy who celebrates Christmas. Um.

570
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: Big let down for the podcast audience and for myself. Um.

571
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: But you know what, Ultimately, as I've said from the beginning,

572
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 1: we're going to make mistakes. It falls on me. I

573
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: can take it. We'll learn from this and we'll improve

574
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 1: upon it. Thank you and you for your time. Thank

575
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,719
Speaker 1: you for coming in. Thank you. We'll be right back

576
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: with some of my final thoughts. Oh okay, yes we're back, Carolina.

577
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: Let's do our fact checks. Tell me how we did. Oh,

578
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,279
Speaker 1: we did pretty good. Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

579
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: It's not in that genre. Um, well, it's classified as

580
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 1: an action thriller. Debatable. Okay, I can take a hit

581
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:03,480
Speaker 1: on that one. Fine, Okay. Uh. January is not Queen's Day,

582
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 1: all Queen's Day. Sorry, January is not all Queen's Day now, Okay,

583
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: so what did I miss it by one? Um? This

584
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: is a longer conversation about the holiday. Um, Jimmy Stewart, Yes,

585
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: the actor, Jimmy Stewart. It's Jimmy. Um, it's not sc h,

586
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: it's s T S T. So no, sure, Yeah, it's

587
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: just gonna take a second because I've got Jimmy Stewart

588
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: locked in. Yeah, so it's just Jimmy Stewart. Yeah. Maybe

589
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: say it to yourself three times a day. Um, and

590
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,879
Speaker 1: then let me write that down. Say Jimmy Stewart three

591
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: times a day. Say Jimmy Stewart three times a day. Okay, Um.

592
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 1: And then the submarine story. So we're talking about my

593
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: favorite memories. I'm gonna say the mid nineties, seventies, in

594
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,959
Speaker 1: early sixties. Um, so in that submarine was seventy years old.

595
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: It's just a numbers thing, you know what. The numbers

596
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,839
Speaker 1: aren't adding up, are you? Are you claiming that I've

597
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 1: made up the story? You know what? No, we want it.

598
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: Everyone in this community wants that story to be true.

599
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: And so it's just a numbers problem. We've just got

600
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: to sit and crunch because I'm trying at a few

601
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 1: different angles. Crunch all you want, and you'll find a

602
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: hundred times that story is true. Okay, you can crunch

603
00:39:31,120 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 1: till the numbers are so crunched up their dust. But

604
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: that story. I stand by that story. Okay, it's just

605
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:43,959
Speaker 1: it's a a factual thing. Thank you, Carolina. Once again,

606
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: I think it, whether I like it or not, I

607
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: think it's important to fact check the show. Yeah. No,

608
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: it's like illegal thing at this point. Here's my final thoughts.

609
00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 1: I think what we learned today is that Christmas doesn't

610
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: just take place on December. As far as I'm concerned,

611
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: Christmas is every day of the year. Let's make a

612
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 1: commitment as the human race to treat each other with

613
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: kindness and dignity befitting of the holiday season. Let the

614
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 1: Christmas spirit start at the bottom of your feet, reach

615
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: the top of your head, but land in your fart.

616
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,440
Speaker 1: I mean, heart, God, I did it again. Why do

617
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,879
Speaker 1: I always do that when I'm trying to sound meaningful? Ah,

618
