We're going 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:06.880 to talk about a topic which is truly evergreen. That 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.360 topic Christmas. It doesn't matter what time of year it is. 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:16.360 I'm always down to discuss Christmas. Every year, the Christmas 0:01:16.400 --> 0:01:21.000 shopping season begins earlier and earlier, and it's still not 0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.839 early enough for me. I think holiday shopping should begin 0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:28.840 right after the fourth of July. Watch some fireworks, eat 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:35.280 some corn on the cob, and then hit cage Jeweler's done. Carolina. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.040 Did I ever tell you about the time I ran 0:01:37.080 --> 0:01:40.959 into pop superstar Jewel at a cave jewelers? Oh no, 0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.960 that's amazing. Yes, it was so fun. You know what. 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.360 I actually saw Katie Perry as Fred Perry. Oh. Interesting, 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.880 And she was just in line. She waited in line 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.960 with us, and then she checked out right, and she said, 0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:59.160 you know, maybe she don't. I mean, I'm thinking she 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.280 talked a little bit with the cash here and sure, 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.600 she just you know, you get it, you get a 0:02:03.640 --> 0:02:05.880 vibe from people. She just seemed like a really good person. 0:02:06.440 --> 0:02:10.480 And did she buy anything? Does she make a purchase? Um? Yeah, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.160 she made a I mean it almost doesn't matter. I 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.079 can't remember the details of the story, but I remember 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.519 being like, oh, I'm I want to be friends with that. Yeah, 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.720 have you ever seen that was the thing when when 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:27.000 I saw Jewel and I was like, that's jewel. Yeah, 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:31.280 that's I can't believe it's jewel. And I pulled people 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.120 aside and I'm like, do you know who that is? 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.520 And they were like, yeah, that's jewel. And anyway, I 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.760 wish pictures did you get of her? I must have 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:44.560 gotten fiftys and video just clicking away and video. And 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:48.000 but then I was still too shy to say hello. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.160 That's better, that's probably. That's a nice way of like 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.840 respecting her privacy. She bought a bracelet, a bracelet with 0:02:53.960 --> 0:03:00.600 a charmed bracelet. That's a story. That's the dogs and stars. 0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:05.600 And that's crazy because we both like dogs too, Oh Jewel, Yeah, 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:08.760 like you like dogs. Jewel like dogs. I like dogs. 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.480 It's so fun when those things line up that way. Yeah, 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:14.840 that's a coincidence for sure. I remember you told me 0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:19.240 you saw another famous person, Ron Ron Howard claimed direct 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.240 for those of you listening that he's an acclaimed director, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.240 a real artist, and a child actor and an adult 0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:31.360 actor Richie Cunningham and Opie Cunningham. Yeah, he was just 0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:33.560 leaving a hotel with his family and he just seemed 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.000 like a family guy, you know, and he put on 0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.120 a hat. Oh was it was he out of Howard 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.000 Johnson's or was it just a regular hotel? It was Rearward, 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.280 So it wasn't Ron Howard at a Howard Johnson No, unfortunately, 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.800 it was just a regular hotel in Los Angeles. But 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:55.440 that is unfortunately, so it's not a rule. You know, No, 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.640 it's not a rule. Celebrities go everywhere, go to the 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:01.920 bathroom just like us do. They do. And there's a 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.640 study that just I was just handed this study out 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:08.640 of Johns Hopkins that celebrities go to the bathroom more 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.920 often than civilians. You're kidding. And I don't know who 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:17.160 volunteered for that study, but they somehow we're able to 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:22.000 track it. And that's what's interesting about celebrities. Yeah, whether 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.920 there's so much more interesting than normal people, because by far, 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.520 they'd blow normal people out of the water. When I 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:32.080 saw Ron Howard, I actually forgot that. I had a 0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:36.120 mom that you know what, that's a that's that's a 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:40.040 common response when I saw it. When I saw Jewel, 0:04:40.120 --> 0:04:42.680 I forgot I had legs. I just fell into the ground. 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:46.359 I collapsed. I was like, I can't, I've lost my 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:49.719 ability to walk. And I was like, no, which, I 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.800 can walk, it takes a second, but I couldn't. Yeah, 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.720 I was in a I was wheelchair bound for about 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:58.760 a month after my Jewels siding. By the way, Caroline, 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.520 let me ask you this why we're on the holidays, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.440 What is your favorite holiday commercial? I want you to 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.680 think on that if you will um for me, it's 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.440 the Budweiser Clydesdale's. I mean, every time I see that commercial, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:15.200 I know it's the holidays. Here. They come down a 0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:19.320 snowy lane with bells around their necks, just doing their 0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.240 thing that they love to do, and that's pull a 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.279 sleigh full of beer. They don't even know that they're 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.200 in a commercial, and yet they are giving cheer to 0:05:29.360 --> 0:05:33.960 a world desperate for peace and hope. And I swear 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.320 to you, and I'm not being facetious here, but if 0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:40.520 we could get every world leader in a room to 0:05:40.640 --> 0:05:44.800 sit side by side, lock arms and watch the Budweiser 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:52.120 Clydesdale holiday commercial game over world peace one, war, strive, 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:57.880 poverty conflict zero. Yeah, that's how strongly I feel about 0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:04.240 that commercial. It's artfully, tastefully done, and it just it 0:06:04.320 --> 0:06:11.160 makes you feel, it makes you feel warm inside. And 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:12.800 and yet it does not make me want to buy 0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:16.960 bud Wiser. No, but in this political climate, what a 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:22.159 powerful message, you know it. We need things like this, 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:26.280 you know, no, no kidding? Yeah, So, do you have 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:30.120 a favorite holiday commercial that runs during the Christmas season? 0:06:30.440 --> 0:06:34.719 You know, I like the holiday car commercials um where 0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.120 the cars have bows on them. Oh yes, when the 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:40.200 family says, come out, I have something. There's a surprise, 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.920 and then it's a it's the gift. The surprise is 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.240 a gift, and the gift is a car with a 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.480 bow on it. Yeah no, if those are beautiful. Um, 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.560 I don't really like cars or being in cars. Um 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.760 my parents never got me a car. But I just 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:56.240 think it's cute, like like a puppy with a like 0:06:56.279 --> 0:07:04.520 a puppy coming out of a present box, you know, yes, yeah, 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:10.400 like a fat puppy coming out coming out of a box. 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.040 It's a present, right, and it's on Christmas morning, and 0:07:14.160 --> 0:07:17.080 the kids are excited. I mean, that's on an ad. 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.200 That's just something that's fun to think. I knew we 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.120 had some We had some neighbors, the Jacobson family, and 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.960 they the parents did that and they put the puppy 0:07:27.000 --> 0:07:30.440 in the box for the children and they ran down 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:32.400 on and it was the one thing they really wanted 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:35.400 was a puppy. Um. And they ran down and they 0:07:35.600 --> 0:07:39.040 opened all the presents, like there's one more, and they 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:42.320 opened it and it was the puppy and he was 0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:47.840 just blissfully asleep and they were so excited and then 0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.320 they wanted to wake him up, of course, and he 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:53.360 wouldn't wake up because he was dead. They put the 0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.000 puppy in the box too long for a month, and 0:07:56.040 --> 0:08:00.080 they just wrapped it up and kept it under the tree. Well, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.520 that's a good message for our listeners. You know, if 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:02.920 you're gonna do you're gonna do it. You know, you 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.160 gotta remember it is a live animal. You've got to 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.760 feed it and keep it alive until Christmas morning, or 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:10.440 at least. If you're going to leave the puppy in 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.520 the box that long, you should poke holes exactly, poke holes, 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:20.560 give it a treat occasionally. Um, you know, basic things 0:08:20.600 --> 0:08:22.920 like that. While we're on the subject of commercials, have 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.640 you seen the Medieval Times commercials? I love the Medieval 0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:30.160 Times commercials. I don't care if it's the holidays or not. No, 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.720 those are just good ads. They're great ads. They're not 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.920 even they're just they're like miniature movies. I feel like 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.480 a lot of Game Game of Thrones episodes were based 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:44.839 on the Medieval Times commercials. Yes, with the swashbuckling and 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:51.200 the fighting. No, they're so beautifully shot. The turkey legs huzza. 0:08:53.280 --> 0:08:57.559 W D forty has a really good holiday commercial because 0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.719 right around the holidays, w D forty always puts out 0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:04.079 its holiday version of a can of w D forty, 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.000 and it's it's not the blue and gold that we've 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:11.400 come to know and love. It's more of a collector's edition. 0:09:12.640 --> 0:09:14.600 I love the one to where the where the little 0:09:14.679 --> 0:09:18.480 kid has left cookies for Santa by the fireplace and 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.920 falls asleep hoping to catch a glimpse of St. Nick 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.400 and then he and he wakes up just in time, 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.520 and Santa gives him a sly wink before he disappears 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:33.200 up the chimney. I love that commercial. I love it. 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:38.120 I don't know what the products for, but every kid 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:44.880 fantasizes about seeing Santa, every team, everyone. In fact, one 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.120 of my favorite Christmas memories was when I was gosh, 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.640 I must have been seven years old. It was Christmas 0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:56.160 Eve and my mother and I were putting some last 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:59.840 second decorations on the tree. And we had this this beauty, 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.040 full fake Christmas tree that we would assemble every season. 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:06.280 It Uh it looked like a fresh Douglas fur from 0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.760 about twenty ft away, but up close you could you 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.040 could tell it was a metal tree. Uh. In fact, 0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.720 you had to put on oven myths to decorate it, 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.640 or the tree would cut you two shreds. We really 0:10:18.640 --> 0:10:21.000 had to earn it every Christmas in the Burgundy household. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.440 But it was worth it. It was worth it to 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:28.200 decorate that, that beautiful thing. And when when we plugged 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:30.800 in the last string of lights and Mom turned on 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:34.880 the switch, it would take your breath away. And I'm 0:10:34.880 --> 0:10:38.760 not just saying that, it would just light up and 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.960 and once again though, another reason for the oven myths. 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.280 You couldn't hold onto the tree and plug the lights 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:48.400 in and at the same time, or you would get electrocuted. 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:53.679 And I don't mean a light shock electrocuted. I mean 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:58.160 raccoon crawled into the transformer box to keep warm, electrocuted, 0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:03.679 that kind of electrocuted, char marks, electrocuted, Yeah, turn your 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:12.080 hair white, electrocuted. I'm talking electrocuted, yeah, zapped. So as 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.600 I was saying we were done decorating the tree, when 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:17.880 I heard a commotion in the back patio and I 0:11:18.000 --> 0:11:21.920 looked up to see Santa himself with a bag full 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.720 of goodies. It turns out it was our neighbor, doctor 0:11:25.840 --> 0:11:30.160 James tarn Cross, a dermatologist who dressed up every year 0:11:30.200 --> 0:11:33.640 to deliver a fruitcake. Long story short. He was neither 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:38.520 a doctor, nor a dermatologist or a neighbor, but that's 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:43.000 for another show. Anyway. I I screamed, Santa is early, 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.200 and I sprinted to give him a hug. And I 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.800 got a full head of steam, running as fast as 0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.280 my little legs could take me. Santa was here at 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.560 my house. I just couldn't believe it. So I'm in 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:01.120 a full sprint right there. Only one problem. We had 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:04.120 forgotten to put our holiday safety stickers on the sliding 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.880 glass patio door, and I went flying into that door. 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:12.319 Bamnham breakneck to me, do you ever done that? Even 0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:16.520 run to the patio door like that? I smacked into 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.720 that patio door and I opened up a five inch 0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:23.840 cut on my forehead. It's so there. I was on 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:28.560 Christmas Eve, sitting in my blood caked footy pajamas, receiving 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.920 stitches from dermatologists and neighbor Dr James tarn Cross once again, 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.880 not a doctor or a dermatologist or a neighbor, just 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.320 a creep with a lot of cologne, trying to get 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:48.880 into my mom's pants through her kid by dressing as Santa. 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:54.800 The end, ah do you have a favorite Christmas memory? 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:00.520 You know, I had a lot of normal Christmas. Yeah, 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.880 but that that was before my parents got divorced. But 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:07.360 my most memorable one is probably when my mom took 0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.599 me and my sister to Tijuana. Oh I love t 0:13:10.800 --> 0:13:13.440 j Yeah, that was after my parents got divorced. Um, 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:17.360 but south of the border. Yeah. We actually took a 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:22.440 photo on a donkey that was spray painted to look 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:28.440 like a zebra. And did you think it was a zebra? Yeah? No, 0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:30.440 it was a really it was a really magic That's 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.200 a great childhood memory. Yeah. I didn't really understand divorce, 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:34.920 so I didn't understand they weren't going to be together 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:38.600 ever again. Um, and it's just something that I've been 0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:41.600 really still processed or I don't really talk about it. Yeah, 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:44.600 it's a divorce. Yeah, a lot of kids go through it. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.480 It happens a lot. Yeah. No, I think that doesn't 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:50.160 minimize the pain of it. But that must have been 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.240 a good Christmas, right Yeah. Yeah, No, definitely, I mean 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.600 it still was Christmas. You still got presents. Just because 0:13:55.600 --> 0:13:57.679 your folks got divorced doesn't mean all of a sudden 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.440 the presence go away. No, No, definitely just just trying 0:14:00.440 --> 0:14:04.440 to say it's totally hard, and sometimes the presents double right, 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:09.319 that's true Christmas and Dad's Christmas and jack pot that 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:13.400 Hey Mom, hey dad, can you get a divorce? I 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:16.160 want to double up my goods. I definitely didn't ask 0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:21.520 for that, but so that's a fun memory. Sure, let's 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.080 just stick with that. By the way, if you're just 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.640 tuning into the Ron Burgundy podcast, Um, you can tune 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.920 into a podcast in the middle of it, can't, you know? 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:34.040 Not really, you have to fast forward. Okay, Well, if 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:36.080 you hit the fast forward button and you happen to 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.320 speed to this part, you are listening to the Ron 0:14:39.320 --> 0:14:43.320 Burgundy podcast. We are talking about Christmas. That's our subject 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:47.720 for today. What what's your favorite Christmas movie? Oh? What 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.480 a good question. Um, probably it's a Wonderful Life with 0:14:53.720 --> 0:15:02.360 Jim Jimmy James Cagney. Oh no, it's a Jimmy Stewart Stewart. 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.480 Is it Stewart or Stewart? I just one s age 0:15:07.040 --> 0:15:10.080 Jimmy Stewart classic. Yeah, no, it was really nice. My 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:12.120 parents showed it to me right before they told me 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.600 that they were going to get a divorce. Um, and 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.960 that my mom was taking us to Tiajuana for Christmas. Um, 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:20.360 and it was just like a good reminder that you know, 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:25.200 they're still good out there. Um and um. Yeah. I 0:15:25.200 --> 0:15:28.200 guess it's something that my favorite Christmas movie is die Hard. 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.920 Oh that's not a Christmas movie, I know, but it 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:35.520 takes place on Christmas. Okay. That's why on Christmas Day, 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:39.400 whenever I opened a present that I really like, it is, yeah, 0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:45.960 yippy kai a mother wore each present. Well, if it's 0:15:45.960 --> 0:15:49.440 the present I really like, it's like, oh oh thank you, 0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:59.680 so oh oh my goodness, a Rolex watch yippy ka mother. Wow. 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:02.640 Even when I walked through a busy mall or shopping 0:16:02.640 --> 0:16:06.160 areat Christmas, I just scream yippy kai a mother far 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.520 Merry Christmas. And I think it gets people in the 0:16:09.600 --> 0:16:12.440 Christmas mood. I don't know it would scare me. I 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.760 walked into a j crue and just yelled yippy kai 0:16:15.520 --> 0:16:21.920 a mother farer. Yeah, I wouldn't. I don't know. If 0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:25.040 I'm going to do that. You should try it. I'm 0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:28.400 telling you. It reminds people. People go, you know kind 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.520 of your similar response like oh that's from die Hard, 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:33.440 Yeah Christmas movie. You No, not really wish, but I go, 0:16:33.520 --> 0:16:37.320 but it took place on Christmas. They usually give it 0:16:37.360 --> 0:16:39.840 to me because of who I am. Wait, didn't you 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:43.720 record a Christmas album? Yes, I did, Thank you for asking. 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:48.960 I actually recorded four Christmas albums, all in the same year, 0:16:50.080 --> 0:16:55.800 my most famous single being of course, Christmas Time. It's 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.680 a wonderful time. It's Christmas time. It's the you time, 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:04.240 Christmas time. It's time for some cheer, spending some time 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:08.680 for far a new Christmas time. It's my favorite time. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:12.520 It's the only time because it's Christmas time. Quick check 0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:17.320 the clock on the wall, soon say it will go. 0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:21.000 It's Christmas time. Time to time, tod e time time, 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:25.040 tody time, time to time, aty time, special time, time 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.640 to time, any time to time. You get the We 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.600 didn't realize until it was playing on the radio that 0:17:32.640 --> 0:17:35.719 we had made a hundred and ninety references to time 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.879 in a two and a half minute song. Yeah, I know, 0:17:39.920 --> 0:17:42.399 but I still think it's one of those songs that 0:17:42.520 --> 0:17:45.240 is such a holiday classic that you don't really think 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:47.680 about how many time references there are. You're sweet to 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:51.040 say that, but trust me, that's that's that's not what 0:17:51.080 --> 0:17:54.119 the old internet thinks. Didn't you have to stop reading 0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:58.320 the comments? Yeah, I know. I always that's my New 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.520 Year's resolution every year. Don't the comments because you start 0:18:01.560 --> 0:18:07.399 around nine pm and then it's over and I'm obsessed. 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.159 Try to find the good ones. Yeah, and sometimes you 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:14.280 got a dig, you know, And I'm like, the good 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.440 ones will come with the rising sun, and they never do. 0:18:19.880 --> 0:18:23.720 Didn't you have another Christmas classic called Crying Shame? Oh? 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:32.680 You mean it's a crying shame there are no presents tonight. 0:18:34.040 --> 0:18:40.720 It's a crying shame that Christmas won't happen this year. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:48.960 No one cares, No one hears, no one sees your 0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:57.280 tears as they drop to the ground on Christmas More 0:19:01.760 --> 0:19:12.000 Infant Jesus. That song I wrote because most, if not 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:15.240 all Christmas songs are upbeat, and I I just thought 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:17.720 there'd be a chance for a sad Christmas song in 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.920 the marketplace, and that was proven wrong. But you take 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.840 your lumps and you move on. Sure, I mean, I 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:29.880 think people appreciate someone who tries something different, and I 0:19:29.960 --> 0:19:33.640 think that song is just ahead of its time. Maybe 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:38.199 maybe I appreciate that. Probably not. Yeah, I don't think 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:44.200 anyone is clamoring for a rerelease of crying shame. Um, 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.960 not to be confused with the with the movie Crying Game, 0:19:47.280 --> 0:19:52.280 which is another excellent Christmas movie. Have you seen that movie? Yeah, 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.040 crying You know what happens in that movie? Right? Um? 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:03.280 You know what? Actually the lady has a ween. Yeah. 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:06.719 I remember I was in the theater and that moment 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:11.320 was revealed and the audience was oh, and I just 0:20:11.600 --> 0:20:17.080 was laughing so hard. I burst out laughing. Yeah, that 0:20:17.200 --> 0:20:20.560 usually gets you. The Irish lady who we thought was 0:20:20.600 --> 0:20:24.560 a lady the whole time at a Wiener, I know, 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:30.840 talk about a Christmas surprise shoes, but that's another good 0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:37.359 Christmas movie, Crying Game. I wouldn't No one can talk 0:20:37.440 --> 0:20:43.600 about the ladies Wiener on the Crying Game. I don't 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.000 recognize that from a Christmas It was a personal friend 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.400 of mine. Then he said I could sing that song, 0:20:50.560 --> 0:20:55.200 so Nick relaxed. We don't have to worry about shelling 0:20:55.240 --> 0:20:59.359 out some dough for that one. We're good. Yeah. Favorite 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.919 Christmas gift. Oh what a good question. But hold on, 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:11.439 let's take a break and we're back. We are discussing 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:18.119 Christmas and just one of my favorite topics always brings 0:21:18.119 --> 0:21:21.680 a smile to my face. And uh, let's just let's 0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:25.200 just free associate right now. And let's just go back 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:31.439 and forth and name some of our favorite Christmas gifts. Okay, dollhouse, 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:36.200 oh Ice, hockey stick, Malbo, Barbie, easy bake oven, World 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:39.280 War two German lugar, pistol from my uncle Jetty, pantyhose 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:44.680 gift certificate to black Angus micronots, assigned Hustler magazine from 0:21:44.760 --> 0:21:49.240 former actor Jimmy Con. Oh you that was a Christmas present? Recived? 0:21:49.400 --> 0:21:53.760 You gave that to me? That's right, that was a 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:56.720 good one. The look on your face when you unwrapped that. 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:02.440 Did you really get Jimmy CON's signature on that? It 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:09.080 was signed by Jimmy Con, wasn't it? Sure? Okay, yeah, no, 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.040 I forged it, Carolina, You're too good. I'm pretty good 0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.960 at forging celebrity autographs in. But I couldn't quite get 0:22:17.040 --> 0:22:21.520 Jimmy CON's down. Yeah. You know how many hustlers I ruined? 0:22:22.440 --> 0:22:26.199 I just didn't. I mean, later I realized ron just 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.399 practice on a piece of scratch paper. You don't have 0:22:28.440 --> 0:22:31.679 to buy a stack of hustlers to work on Jimmy 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:35.000 CON's signature. It just seems like a weird actor, and 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.119 I never heard you talk about him. That's why, you know, 0:22:38.520 --> 0:22:40.520 That's why my garage I'm always like, don't go near 0:22:40.560 --> 0:22:44.440 that corner. Those are all fake signed copies of hustler 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:49.399 Jimmy con fake signed Wow. But anyway, I'm still glad 0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:53.679 you enjoyed the gift. Did you ever look through the pages? Um? No, 0:22:54.000 --> 0:22:58.000 I did not. I don't look at stuff like that. 0:22:58.800 --> 0:23:03.840 One of my favorite gifts was a metal detector. Have 0:23:03.920 --> 0:23:07.400 you ever seen oftentimes you'll see people on the beach 0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.280 with the with the metal sectors looking for trinkets and 0:23:10.320 --> 0:23:12.720 stuff like that. Well, when when I was a kid, 0:23:12.800 --> 0:23:16.720 I received a metal detector and I absolutely loved it. 0:23:17.480 --> 0:23:19.919 I would get home from school and I'd rush to 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:23.640 the beach down in San Diego and hunt for buried treasure. 0:23:24.560 --> 0:23:26.480 I never worked a summer job because I would. I 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:30.280 would collect anywhere from nine to twelve thousand dollars and change. 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:35.960 I know, really that's a lot of change. And they 0:23:36.000 --> 0:23:38.240 hated me at the bank because I refused to rule 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.280 the change and I would just bring it in big, 0:23:41.880 --> 0:23:44.399 big grocery bags doubled. I'd have a double up the 0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:47.040 grocery banks because they're so heavy, and I would make 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:50.280 the teller counted out in front of me, and I 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.439 had already pre counted it, so I knew exactly how 0:23:53.520 --> 0:23:56.680 much there was. Well, have you already pre counted it? 0:23:57.320 --> 0:23:59.480 Why wouldn't you just go ahead and put the change 0:23:59.480 --> 0:24:01.840 in money? Wouldn't that have been easy? I know you 0:24:01.840 --> 0:24:03.959 would think that I would do that, but I just 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:06.439 didn't want the bank teller to get off easy. For 0:24:06.480 --> 0:24:09.960 some reason, I can't explain it. I just really wanted 0:24:09.960 --> 0:24:13.560 her to do her job well. Anyway, one day, I'm 0:24:13.680 --> 0:24:18.320 scouring the beach and my metal detector is going berserk. 0:24:18.840 --> 0:24:23.000 It just won't stop beeping right. So I'm wondering what 0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.840 what is going on here? And I I walk almost 0:24:26.160 --> 0:24:28.680 I walk the length I would say it's three feet 0:24:29.040 --> 0:24:32.240 the whole time. The beeping just keeps going and going 0:24:32.680 --> 0:24:37.640 and going and going and going. But it's consistent as 0:24:37.680 --> 0:24:40.639 if it's one chunk of metal. Well, I start to dig, 0:24:41.359 --> 0:24:43.960 and I dig, and I dig and I dig next thing, 0:24:43.960 --> 0:24:47.640 and I look up and there are fifty beach goers 0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:52.480 helping me dig. We dig well into the night, and finally, 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:56.720 at seven am the following morning, we reach pay dirt. 0:24:57.560 --> 0:25:01.520 Teenager Ron Burgundy and his prize metal detector had discovered 0:25:01.520 --> 0:25:06.040 it World War two Japanese submarine missing an action for 0:25:06.119 --> 0:25:12.159 over seventy years. Yes, it was truly incredible and it 0:25:12.280 --> 0:25:18.159 was people just erupted and cheers. A Japanese sub It 0:25:18.240 --> 0:25:22.080 had been missing for over seventy years in action, and 0:25:22.160 --> 0:25:25.400 all of a sudden we start hearing this ping ping, ping, ping, 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:30.919 ping ping pink and we opened up the hatch and 0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:38.040 everyone was still alive. No, No, they were just skeletons 0:25:38.320 --> 0:25:45.680 in there. Jesus. Yeah, but it was. It was very incredible. Um. 0:25:45.800 --> 0:25:50.000 The Japanese government at that time invited me to the 0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:56.080 Tokyo Cherry Blossom Festival for honoring their war dead. Very moving. Ah, 0:25:56.119 --> 0:25:59.840 so I got to go to Tokyo. Uh, at least 0:26:00.680 --> 0:26:04.320 I think I was in Tokyo. I hope that was Tokyo, 0:26:06.040 --> 0:26:08.960 but regardless it was. It was a very moving and 0:26:09.000 --> 0:26:15.400 a wonderful Christmas. Wow. Yeah, that story is incredible, missing 0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:18.960 for over seventy years, and it was it was under 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:22.439 their feet the whole time. Yeah. I can't believe it 0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.879 just buried under the sand. Under the sand. Yeah, So 0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:31.880 I guess the moral to that story is, um get 0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:35.440 yourself a metal detector and you might could be your 0:26:35.520 --> 0:26:40.520
