Speaker 1: Be there. Fanarritos, Welcome to an all new minisode of
Speaker 1: How Rude Tannertos. As you know, Candace Cameron Beret has
Speaker 1: been my lovely co host for the past two episodes
Speaker 1: while Jodie's been out of the country. Now, we all
Speaker 1: know that Candace is the queen of Christmas movies, so
Speaker 1: we thought what would be better than doing a holiday
Speaker 1: themed minisode for all of you fanatos out there. Candace
Speaker 1: and I will be playing this or that Christmas edition.
Speaker 1: With each question, we'll have to choose between two Christmas
Speaker 1: classics and we want you to play along with us.
Speaker 1: And we added a twist. The very last questions will
Speaker 1: be centered around the full and Fuller House Christmas episodes.
Speaker 1: Let's get into it.
Speaker 2: Does everyone know that we call each other Gimmy and DJ.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they don't, they do now that
Speaker 1: we would literally tell each other that, well every time
Speaker 1: we see each other.
Speaker 3: Every time we see each other.
Speaker 2: And do you remember when we were just at nineties
Speaker 2: con and Julia White, who of course played Arkle, was
Speaker 2: there and you were like by Kimmy and he stopped
Speaker 2: in his tracks and he was like, whoa, what did
Speaker 2: you for real?
Speaker 3: Just call each other your character names, and we were.
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, like yeah, he was tripped out, like if
Speaker 2: it was weird, it.
Speaker 3: Was not for a loop.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just why and we're like, that's We've
Speaker 1: always done that. Yep, it's just yeah, yeah, it's funny. Well,
Speaker 1: before we start the game, I have to ask you
Speaker 1: because you have a lot of Christmas movies coming out
Speaker 1: this season, and I watched your first one last night,
Speaker 1: Christmas Christmas Let's Traveled.
Speaker 3: It was so thank you for watching is it was
Speaker 3: a beautiful That means a lot to me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have I want to talk about it too,
Speaker 1: So we'll get to that.
Speaker 3: Thanks.
Speaker 1: But first, my first question is what do you love
Speaker 1: most about making your Christmas films? How many have you done?
Speaker 1: You've done like thirty of them or like a lot?
Speaker 2: No, No, I haven't done that many. I actually don't.
Speaker 2: I kind of lost a count.
Speaker 1: You lost count.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm more like fifteen or sixteen or seventeen. Okay,
Speaker 2: I've done over fifty television movies.
Speaker 1: Ok.
Speaker 2: I've done so many in the mystery genre anyway, So
Speaker 2: I feel like people think that I've done way more
Speaker 2: Christmas movies than I have. But Yeah, I love making
Speaker 2: them because people love watching them. Truly, so many people
Speaker 2: come up, just like with Full House fans, when they're like,
Speaker 2: your show means so much to us, And people feel
Speaker 2: the same way about Christmas movies. They'll say, And for instance,
Speaker 2: last night's movie, I've already received so many messages that say,
Speaker 2: like I lost a parent this year and it was
Speaker 2: a beautiful movie, like thank you for the lesson or
Speaker 2: the encouragement that you gave, or there was a theme
Speaker 2: of forgiveness and some lady wrote, I really needed to
Speaker 2: hear that I need to forgive someone in my life,
Speaker 2: and thank you for that reminder.
Speaker 3: So it's why I love making these movies. They really
Speaker 3: are fun. But I love that they as cheesy as
Speaker 3: some of them can be, they affect people and they
Speaker 3: like made them feel good during the holidays.
Speaker 2: And I'll keep making them as long as people keep
Speaker 2: watching them.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that it's kind of like comfort food,
Speaker 1: like Full Houses. Yes, it's aalid comfort food. It's kind
Speaker 1: of you know, they're formulaic and they're predictable. That's okay,
Speaker 1: that's what people want. That's what we need at Christmas time.
Speaker 1: We need to feel good and feel happy. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I had the same reaction because you know, with my
Speaker 1: mom being gone, it's just really emotional when you hear
Speaker 1: their voice again or when I see when I see
Speaker 1: her signatures or some of her writings. You know, it
Speaker 1: just it brings you right back. So you captured those
Speaker 1: emotions so beautifully. Thank you. It was really Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was really touching, and I loved that it was a
Speaker 1: little different with like the scavenger Hunt. There's a little
Speaker 1: bit of a mystery in there and a little scavenger hunt.
Speaker 1: I really couldn't. I didn't know where it was going.
Speaker 1: I was like, where is she, where is the where
Speaker 1: are the tapes taking her? And what's up with this guy?
Speaker 1: What is Literally it shocked me. I did not expect
Speaker 1: how it So yeah, Well.
Speaker 2: Two really fabulous women wrote this movie, Taylor Kalupa and
Speaker 2: Macy McLain, and they're such wonderful writers, and they're young.
Speaker 3: And up and coming.
Speaker 2: So I feel very privileged to have to have met
Speaker 2: them and am starting to work with them quite often
Speaker 2: because they're so so talented, like at the beginning of
Speaker 2: their career.
Speaker 3: So kudos to them for writing a fabulous script.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, Yeah, that was straight out of the gate.
Speaker 1: That was awesome.
Speaker 3: It was So, you're going to write a Christmas movie?
Speaker 3: By the way, I know I should write. I know you.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about you because I was on the
Speaker 2: Fuller House stage the other day, and then I was
Speaker 2: thinking about all of the memories.
Speaker 3: And then I was thinking about you writing. You wrote
Speaker 3: your episode, and I'm like, when did you get to
Speaker 3: write more? I guess I should write a Christmas movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, okay, I'll do it. I'll take that. That'll
Speaker 1: be my homework. No, I'm just throwing it out about it. Like,
Speaker 1: I've thought about all sorts of not just scripts, but
Speaker 1: just all sorts of types of writing, and I don't Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just need to put my head down and do it.
Speaker 1: You know, I need a little kick in the butt.
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Well you're very talented, so you know, thanks, stage.
Speaker 3: You're welcome. Kenney, love you.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Do you have a favorite Christmas movie that you've
Speaker 1: done over the fifteen Do you theres one like really
Speaker 1: stand out to you? Is there one that's special to you?
Speaker 2: I would say, well, they're all like little children, and
Speaker 2: I love them individually and uniquely.
Speaker 3: They have a different place in my.
Speaker 2: Heart, of course, But reflecting back on the amount of
Speaker 2: Christmas movies, A Shoe Atticts Christmas is one of my
Speaker 2: favorites because I worked with the great gen Smart, Jean Smart,
Speaker 2: who's just won so many Emmys and she's killing it
Speaker 2: right now on.
Speaker 3: Her show Hacked.
Speaker 2: And I think back and I'm like, how lucky was
Speaker 2: I to get this little probably blip on her radar
Speaker 2: that she was like, did to do?
Speaker 3: Sure, I'll do a Christmas.
Speaker 2: Movie in between the you know, the highs and lows
Speaker 2: of career when you're kind of waiting for something else.
Speaker 2: And I think about the fact that I did a
Speaker 2: Christmas movie with Jean Smart and I loved it. There
Speaker 2: was so much comedy in it. It was great. That
Speaker 2: was really special.
Speaker 1: The legend, like I aspire to be her, like an
Speaker 1: older woman with those comedy skills, Like she's so multi talented,
Speaker 1: she could commis in the drama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she's incredible. So yeah, I feel like I just
Speaker 2: got a little, you know, pinch of gold or something,
Speaker 2: you know working with her.
Speaker 3: Was she like.
Speaker 1: Super professional and serious about her craft or was she
Speaker 1: kind of loose and both in that she is such
Speaker 1: a total pro.
Speaker 2: She was so much fun. I mean, she has a
Speaker 2: great personality, she's so at ease. She was amazing, But
Speaker 2: like she came in with so many more ideas than
Speaker 2: what was just on the page. So she never changed
Speaker 2: anything from the page, but she would just add to it.
Speaker 2: So she was like, you know, I want to pick
Speaker 2: up this prop. I want to have this prop and
Speaker 2: do this and walk around. And it's just like she
Speaker 2: took words on a page and elevated them to a
Speaker 2: place where I learned so much from watching her. I
Speaker 2: was like, oh, oh, I could do that. I can
Speaker 2: do that, you know what. She gave me ideas and
Speaker 2: it was inspiring to watch. But she was super chill
Speaker 2: and awesome and yeah, she was wonderful. Okay, so we
Speaker 2: talked about a Christmas let's traveled. Let's talk about your
Speaker 2: newest movie.
Speaker 1: Because you have two that have come out this year.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the movie with Cameron Mathieson.
Speaker 3: I know it's so cute.
Speaker 2: It was just on a home suite Christmas, and this
Speaker 2: is more of your typical Christmas rom com.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: But we play childhood friends, which I really loved.
Speaker 3: So it's not like I'm the city girl that moves.
Speaker 2: Back to the small town and meets a guy that
Speaker 2: I don't very like and much like and then fall
Speaker 2: in love with him. Come we do come back to
Speaker 2: our a small town because my great uncle has passed
Speaker 2: and he leaves the both of us part of his
Speaker 2: maple sugar farm. Oh and so when we meet each
Speaker 2: other there, we haven't seen each other. So we were
Speaker 2: like fifteen years old, and there's all these flashbacks in
Speaker 2: the movie that are so cute, but like, we were
Speaker 2: best friends when we were kids and then we just
Speaker 2: kind of lost touch, so that the whole movie rekindles
Speaker 2: our friendship but also our real deep love for each other,
Speaker 2: and we just kind of picked up right where we
Speaker 2: left off, and that that felt really good instead of
Speaker 2: you know, it's not that stereotypical plotline that you have, right.
Speaker 2: And Cameron is amazing, Oh my gosh, he's one of
Speaker 2: my favorite people to work with.
Speaker 3: He is like high energy, go go go.
Speaker 2: We talked fitness the whole time, of course we did,
Speaker 2: and he's just such a pro. Also, he's probably done,
Speaker 2: you know, fifteen Christmas movies too, so.
Speaker 3: We were we had a good time together.
Speaker 1: Well, what a great script for you two who have
Speaker 1: been friends for so long. Yeah, to be able to
Speaker 1: do that together. Did you what came first, the script
Speaker 1: or the idea that you two work because it seemed
Speaker 1: like a perfect fit the script with your your family.
Speaker 2: We knew that we were going to do a Christmas
Speaker 2: movie together, okay. I had a different movie for us
Speaker 2: to do. Okay, and some of the rewrites that I
Speaker 2: wanted were not going the way I wanted them to go.
Speaker 3: Okay, so we had to do a very quick pivot.
Speaker 3: It was. It was actually a very big pivot.
Speaker 2: So I found this script Home Sweet Christmas, which we
Speaker 2: very quickly modified to work through what we wanted and then.
Speaker 3: You you have what you have in the movie.
Speaker 2: But it all really fit together, and I think that
Speaker 2: A Home Sweet Christmas ended up being a better fit
Speaker 2: than what the original movie was.
Speaker 3: And he good that we were supposed to do.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, tell me honestly, was it weird to kiss
Speaker 1: him because you've been friends for so long? You know,
Speaker 1: I assume you kiss at the end, like with you know,
Speaker 1: one minute left.
Speaker 2: Of course, of course there's always the at the end. Yeah,
Speaker 2: And I actually told him, I told him, and I
Speaker 2: was like, this is weird, Like you're my.
Speaker 3: Buddy, I've known you for fifteen years since bizarre.
Speaker 2: He's like, I know, but you know, we're we're both professional,
Speaker 2: and it really is like a peck of a kiss.
Speaker 2: So we kind of that was that and we were like,
Speaker 2: oh great, it's just yeah, it was fine.
Speaker 1: It was just yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 3: It was I was like, this is gonna be weird.
Speaker 1: But you're right. Once you're in the zone, it's not
Speaker 1: like a like a love scene.
Speaker 3: You're right. It's a peck. No, it's a peck. Yeah.
Speaker 1: There's no tongue or anything like that.
Speaker 3: No, nothing like that. It is a pretty closed mouth
Speaker 3: peck on the lips.
Speaker 1: Oh good. Okay, one last question before we start the game. Okay,
Speaker 1: is Christmas actually your favorite holiday of the year.
Speaker 3: Or do I just fake it?
Speaker 1: Or do you just fake it? Because you're the Queen
Speaker 1: of Christmas? You know, tell us the truth, give me
Speaker 1: the dirt.
Speaker 3: I what do you think?
Speaker 1: I know? Well, I know you, so I know your answer.
Speaker 1: I know that you are. You love Christmas?
Speaker 3: I oh it much?
Speaker 1: It's your favorite holiday.
Speaker 3: Because it is my favorite holiday.
Speaker 2: I love it. I love everything about it. It is true.
Speaker 2: I already decorated my house mid October.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just was ready. I just wanted Christmas. And
Speaker 2: now that I don't live in La anymore, I'm it's
Speaker 2: much colder.
Speaker 3: Where we are, So what's that cold kicks in?
Speaker 2: I was like, bring out the tree, bring out the
Speaker 2: Christmas decorations.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love it.
Speaker 2: I love all things Christmas and what it's what it means.
Speaker 2: And it also means I get a rest from work
Speaker 2: because I always prioritize that month of December, the whole
Speaker 2: month to be with my family because I go go
Speaker 2: go through the whole year.
Speaker 3: But I know that I'm going to get a.
Speaker 2: Two week vacation in June and then I really take
Speaker 2: everything off my plate the whole month of December.
Speaker 3: So I love that because then I get to be
Speaker 3: with my kids in val and it's nice.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh that'll be nice my parents. Yeah, the first
Speaker 1: Christmas for Lev and his lovely wife as husband and wife. Right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Are you doing something all together as a big Beret
Speaker 1: family or is he sort of doing his own thing
Speaker 1: with the wife's family.
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a combo because the great thing
Speaker 2: is we live about half a mile.
Speaker 3: From each other, like all of us.
Speaker 2: Wow, that's so even from her parents. So we will
Speaker 2: all spend the day together in some capacity. But whether
Speaker 2: you know it's dinner at someone's house or dessert or
Speaker 2: you know, the family hike, it's like whatever. It's pretty
Speaker 2: cool actually because we all really genuinely enjoy each other's companies.
Speaker 3: So it will be a big family day.
Speaker 1: And that saves a lot of fighting for you know, oh,
Speaker 1: I know, we got to go to this family's house.
Speaker 2: No, this thing, no, I know, half a mile half
Speaker 2: a mile a point apart.
Speaker 1: And you could do your height. You can hike to
Speaker 1: one house and then hike to the next house and.
Speaker 3: Eat so poorly. Yes, that's so great. Burn that stuffing
Speaker 3: off in that ham.
Speaker 1: Yes, well, let's get started with this game, this this
Speaker 1: or that game. So you have to choose. I'm going
Speaker 1: to give you two options, and you have to choose
Speaker 1: this or that.
Speaker 2: You know, do you want me you want me just
Speaker 2: to give like a one word answer, or do you
Speaker 2: want an explanation?
Speaker 1: No explanation, but no, okay, I want this isn't rapid fire,
Speaker 1: this a little detail, got it? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, well.
Speaker 1: Okay, the first one I feel like I know with
Speaker 1: all your answers for this already.
Speaker 3: I'm sure you do.
Speaker 1: That's okay. For the listeners at home, okay, real tree
Speaker 1: or artificial tree.
Speaker 3: Oh I'm artificial tree. Okay, So I'm artificial. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I made the switch like five or six years ago,
Speaker 2: change my life. I love it that wanted wants to
Speaker 2: get a fresh tree this year, and I'm like, no,
Speaker 2: I'm buying a second artificial tree. Oh oh I love
Speaker 2: them that much because they last longer, they hold the
Speaker 2: ornaments better.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and then.
Speaker 2: It doesn't get all droopy. And you know that's what
Speaker 2: I don't like. By the end of December, it's just
Speaker 2: like wilted. Maybe I don't tree. Yeah, sad tree.
Speaker 1: I don't like it.
Speaker 2: And then yeah, I like the artificial and it's pre lit.
Speaker 3: Saves me a lot of work.
Speaker 1: Yes, I got mine at Costco and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's pre lit, they'll take it back if the lights
Speaker 1: go out. It's fantastic. Yeah. I'm an artificial tree person too,
Speaker 1: but that's because I'm allergic to pine. Oh so yeah,
Speaker 1: did you not know that about me?
Speaker 2: I actually, now that you said it, I'm just remembered.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, you've been along touching to pine.
Speaker 1: I'm a little well, I think I don't. I haven't
Speaker 1: tested this theory in many, many years. But we found
Speaker 1: out how old was I. I was young. I was
Speaker 1: probably under the age of ten. So the whole family
Speaker 1: was living together, you know, in the same house, and
Speaker 1: so my mom decided to get a little baby Christmas
Speaker 1: tree for each kid in their bedrooms.
Speaker 3: So like, this is great.
Speaker 1: We were so excited, me and my brothers, and then
Speaker 1: we all woke up one morning and we were just
Speaker 1: like so just snotty and gross, and like we were
Speaker 1: so sick. I'm going to realize that we're allergic to pine.
Speaker 1: So that was last year we did real Christmas trees
Speaker 1: in the bedroom.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: And I do know one other person now that I
Speaker 2: just learned that they are allergic to pine.
Speaker 3: And I was like, huh, very interesting. Well I guess
Speaker 3: you could. You can.
Speaker 2: You could light a pine candle, though, can't you, or
Speaker 2: just even the smell.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, I'm all about my Christmas sense. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just like the balsam tree candle. And you know
Speaker 1: what I'll do is I'll usually get a real wreath
Speaker 1: and put it on my front door because then it's
Speaker 1: not the so nice in the house. It's outside the house.
Speaker 1: Like I'm kind, I can be around it for short periods,
Speaker 1: but I just can't live in sleep with it, you know.
Speaker 3: The kind of like the full house couch you got.
Speaker 1: They had to go clean it because I couldn't stop
Speaker 1: when I had a sevom man. I do have bad
Speaker 1: I need to go see an hour just I think
Speaker 1: you might.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Next question, do you prefer hosting Christmas or visiting others?
Speaker 2: I like visiting others on Christmas, just because we do
Speaker 2: a pretty big breakfast, lots of stuff in the morning
Speaker 2: with our immediate family, and I feel like it's a
Speaker 2: lot of cleanups.
Speaker 3: So I just want to then go to dinner and
Speaker 3: have as someone else host.
Speaker 2: I can bring gifts, we can bring some food, but
Speaker 2: I don't want to deal with a second clean up.
Speaker 1: Oh totally, I get that.
Speaker 3: I get that.
Speaker 1: I am I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year, so that's the
Speaker 1: better That's.
Speaker 3: Oh you are okay.
Speaker 1: I think that's the better holiday to host because then
Speaker 1: you don't have all like the Christmas like it seems
Speaker 1: less stressful because it's all about food. That's it. Do
Speaker 1: you know anything else exactly? I agree, and the decor
Speaker 1: is like minimal, which it's just it's just there's less.
Speaker 2: Pressure for unless you're at my house because it's already decorated.
Speaker 1: That's right. Yes, I will not have my tree up
Speaker 1: until until after Thanksgiving this year. But that's okay, okay,
Speaker 1: that's all right, okay, okay. Next question, do you open
Speaker 1: gifts one by one or do you open gifts all
Speaker 1: this like the whole family open gifts at the same time,
Speaker 1: Like do you go down?
Speaker 2: Like how would DJ Tanner answer this? Because we do
Speaker 2: I are kind of one and the same.
Speaker 1: DJ's very organized. DJ would have a plan and a
Speaker 1: like an outline.
Speaker 2: How do you think she would have her everyone everyone
Speaker 2: unwrapped gifts.
Speaker 1: I think it would go by birth order and it
Speaker 1: would be very individual, right individual. Yeah, would be one
Speaker 1: by one and you can't skip your turn and you
Speaker 1: can't you know, cut in line. It has to be you.
Speaker 3: Know yeah, that's me.
Speaker 2: Yes, So everyone hops them individually, not at one time.
Speaker 3: That is like, oh, never happening.
Speaker 2: That's I can't handle the chaos of like everyone unwrapping
Speaker 2: at the same time, nobody giving attention to.
Speaker 3: What the gifts are because there's an appreciation.
Speaker 2: When someone gives you a gift, you want to recognize
Speaker 2: it and take it in. So no, one by one
Speaker 2: and we all take a moment good.
Speaker 1: I'm just watch and appreciate, Yeah, because you otherwise it feels,
Speaker 1: I don't know, kind of selfish, just you know how
Speaker 1: you're totally Yeah, appreciate each gift and give it. It's
Speaker 1: moment y gosh, like what did I get? I don't
Speaker 1: you know, you don't know. I like less chaos as well,
Speaker 1: me too. Okay, do you prefer Mariah Carey Christmas music
Speaker 1: or Michael Bubla Christmas music?
Speaker 3: Oh? I have a boat, But I.
Speaker 1: Know you have to pick one, DJ, you have to
Speaker 1: hit one.
Speaker 3: I love both of them, So this is a hard one.
Speaker 1: This might be a hard one.
Speaker 3: I want to I know, I think I'll go for Michael.
Speaker 1: I think I bull bl Okay.
Speaker 2: I really love Mariah though, but I kind of like
Speaker 2: that little jazzy. We listened to him a lot during
Speaker 2: Christmas too, and then it's really nice when.
Speaker 3: People are at the house.
Speaker 2: It's always good background music that just feels like it's
Speaker 2: the right tone all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's got a voice that is so distinctive, not
Speaker 1: that Mariah's isn't, but his voice is so distinctive and
Speaker 1: I just have heard nothing else like it. So yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think I would choose Michael Bublet as well. Okay,
Speaker 1: moving right along. Do you prefer decorating Christmas? Do you
Speaker 1: prefer decorating gingerbread houses or baking Christmas cookies?
Speaker 3: I don't really do either very objects, So I'm gonna say.
Speaker 2: I'll say I'll say baking cookies because the gingerbread houses.
Speaker 2: I guess it's fun to decorate. You can be really creative,
Speaker 2: but then you just kind of look at it, right.
Speaker 2: I've never eaten a gingerbread house after, have you?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yes, well, yeah, we really do. When the kids were littler,
Speaker 1: we would get together with friends and build gingerbread houses
Speaker 1: and yeah, I mean it was just like sugar overload.
Speaker 1: But you have to take a picture, like everybody does
Speaker 1: their house, and you take a picture and then you
Speaker 1: can go hog wild and eat.
Speaker 3: Oh I think whatever.
Speaker 2: So I never ate the gingerbread house, So I'm like,
Speaker 2: I'd rather bake the cookie and eat the cookie.
Speaker 3: Okay, I've been doing it wrong my whole life. Apparently,
Speaker 3: not the Queen of Christmas.
Speaker 1: It's simpler to do Christmas cookies. There's not as much
Speaker 1: prep time because with the gingerbread house you need a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff.
Speaker 2: And so you did you make organized did you make
Speaker 2: your own gingerbread or did you buy a kit that cared?
Speaker 1: No? Actually we cheated a little bit. We didn't even
Speaker 1: use gingerbread. We took those little milk cartons that are
Speaker 1: like the tiny mini milk cartons and then glued gram crackers.
Speaker 3: To the sides.
Speaker 1: Oh we're actually we're not eating the house. You just
Speaker 1: eat the decorations off the house. Got it. So we
Speaker 1: cheated a little bit. But that's okay, that's.
Speaker 3: A that's a good cheet.
Speaker 1: I like that cheap. Yeah, it is a good cheek. Okay,
Speaker 1: moving right along. Do you prefer to go on Christmas
Speaker 1: vacation or do you like to stay at home?
Speaker 3: I like to stay at home.
Speaker 1: That's you travel so much during the year too, You're
Speaker 1: probably like, get me home.
Speaker 3: That is exactly it. And I don't want to be
Speaker 3: away for Christmas.
Speaker 2: And I like having my fireplace and being cozy and
Speaker 2: slippers and pajamas and all the yeah, all those fun things. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I travel too much, so I don't want to see
Speaker 2: a hotel.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think I'm the same. Well, I'm a homebody anyways,
Speaker 1: But traveling at Christmas is terrible, Like that's the worst
Speaker 1: time of year to travel is during Christmas time, I know,
Speaker 1: because the airports are crazy and the lines are so long,
Speaker 1: and so yeah, let's stay home this Christmas. Visit a
Speaker 1: mall Santa or have a relative dress up as Santa.
Speaker 2: Oh that's a funny question.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a little different, a little different. I guess
Speaker 1: I need to give you a scenario. So if you
Speaker 1: had little when you have grand babies and you want
Speaker 1: a picture with your grand babies in Santa Claus, are
Speaker 1: you going to take them to a mall or are
Speaker 1: you going to have you know, Max.
Speaker 3: Dress up as Santa and okay, come in the house.
Speaker 3: Great scenario.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I could pay any relative of
Speaker 2: mine to dress up in a Santa suit.
Speaker 1: I don't dress up as Santa.
Speaker 2: No, there is no way, and I don't think that
Speaker 2: Max would or Lev.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 3: I guess I should be going to the mall. Yeah, right,
Speaker 3: Mall Santa. By the way, we watched Elf last night.
Speaker 3: Oh that is my.
Speaker 2: Favorite Christmas movie ever of all time, and yeah, I gosh,
Speaker 2: I love that movie.
Speaker 3: I cackle through the whole thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, ridiculous things, and the more you watch it,
Speaker 2: the more you laugh. But when when when Will Ferrell
Speaker 2: as the Elf? It's like San, I'm just coming, Santa's coming,
Speaker 2: and he's at Gimbals and then I don't know if
Speaker 2: you remember this, Oh my gosh, it's been that it
Speaker 2: is not the real Santa of the North Pole. It
Speaker 2: is an imposter Santa, and they just go into a
Speaker 2: full on fight and they're like wrestling and not it is.
Speaker 3: I howl. I howl so hard during this, and that's
Speaker 3: what it reminds me of.
Speaker 2: So I've seen some great mall Santa's, really good ones,
Speaker 2: and then there's ones that kind of look creepy. So
Speaker 2: I think I would choose the mall Santa. But I'm
Speaker 2: going to scout a few different malls to figure out
Speaker 2: which Santa i'd want the photo with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, your particular, it has to have the right look,
Speaker 1: like the beard has to look authentic, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's got to look like a real Santa. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I didn't know Elf was your favorite movie. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: have guessed that. I am not an ELK fan, So
Speaker 1: this is where we different. I wait, I do not like, tell.
Speaker 3: Me, tell me why?
Speaker 1: What?
Speaker 3: How can you not love this movie?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna turn off so many listeners right now because
Speaker 1: I'm like, what a sacrilege?
Speaker 3: But what is it about it? Well?
Speaker 1: I think it's because I didn't watch it until until
Speaker 1: I wasn't until like a few years ago. And Michael,
Speaker 1: my boyfriend, had built it up so much because he
Speaker 1: also loves that's probably his favorite Christmas movie too. She's like,
Speaker 1: this is the best. I can't believe you haven't seen it.
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch it. We're gonna we're gonna watch every night.
Speaker 1: We're gonna watch it. And I'm like, oh, this is great.
Speaker 1: And then he put it on and I was like
Speaker 1: I was kind of expecting, like, you know, a Christmas
Speaker 1: movie like you do, or something really like heartfelt, not
Speaker 1: like silly with a grown man in yellow tights eating
Speaker 1: spaghetti with syrup on it. And I was like, what
Speaker 1: am I watching? So I don't know it's but he
Speaker 1: Barrel does such a good job, but.
Speaker 2: He is so earnest about it, which is why it's
Speaker 2: so funny, because it's ridiculous, like so ridiculous.
Speaker 3: But the way he plays.
Speaker 2: It so earnestly, I mean, he really believes he's a
Speaker 2: real Elf.
Speaker 3: It's nice.
Speaker 2: It gets me every time. I laugh so freaking hard
Speaker 2: at this movie.
Speaker 3: I've seen it. I mean hundreds of times.
Speaker 1: Hundreds of times. Oh man, Yeah, Okay, maybe I'll try
Speaker 1: watching it again. It's been a few years. Michael watches
Speaker 1: it every Christmas, and I'm just like, I'll be in
Speaker 1: the other room, but I'll try to watch it again.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Okay, here, I'm gonna send you some notes because we
Speaker 2: actually talked about the movie Elf on my podcast that aired.
Speaker 2: You can just search my podcast and put the movie
Speaker 2: Elf in, Okay, And there's all this behind the scenes stuff,
Speaker 2: So if you rewatch it, think about some of the
Speaker 2: things that really happened. Like, oh my gosh, I'm blanking
Speaker 2: on his name. The guy who plays he's so famous too.
Speaker 2: The guy who gene is it No, it's not Jean,
Speaker 2: the guy who plays.
Speaker 3: His dad in the movie. Oh Dad, Dad, I love
Speaker 3: you Dad.
Speaker 2: Okay, But anyway, don't remember he was genuinely annoyed with
Speaker 2: Will Ferrell.
Speaker 1: Like during the.
Speaker 2: Whole movie, he was genuinely annoyed, and he thought, this
Speaker 2: is never gonna work.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be so over the top. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2: And then he watched the movie and he was like,
Speaker 2: oh it all came together and really enjoyed it. But
Speaker 2: when you even watch him knowing that he wasn't just acting,
Speaker 2: but he was truly annoyed, it's hysterical. It's also funny
Speaker 2: that when they do all these kind of montage things
Speaker 2: in New York City, they shot that like gorilla style,
Speaker 2: so they didn't have big setups, and those were all
Speaker 2: real New Yorkers, So he was running around with the
Speaker 2: elf costume on and they just had a camera so
Speaker 2: it wasn't a big setup.
Speaker 3: So all those reactions are like genuine people going, who
Speaker 3: is this lunatic? It makes it's even better.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's a reason to watch it. I will watch it.
Speaker 1: I'll have to listen to your podcast and then watch
Speaker 1: it for the backstory. Okay, I can. I can get
Speaker 1: on board with that. Okay, that can get much more
Speaker 1: interesting knowing knowing that. Okay, Oh my goodness, I would
Speaker 1: say my favorite Christmas movie. I'll just add this. It's
Speaker 1: a wonderful life is my face?
Speaker 3: Oh it's a classic.
Speaker 1: It's a classic, and my mother would force the family
Speaker 1: to watch it every Christmas. Even we would all roll
Speaker 1: our eyes and be like, ah, and now you know,
Speaker 1: now that I'm growing up, I found children and she's gone.
Speaker 1: Now I'm like, oh, this is special, so special, great message,
Speaker 1: such a good such a good message.
Speaker 2: I rewatched that one last year. I don't watch it
Speaker 2: every year because it is like, kind of it's hopeful,
Speaker 2: but it's sad throughout the whole way through.
Speaker 3: So but I rewatched it last year and I was like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's such a beautiful movie.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna pivot a little bit. I want to
Speaker 1: ask some full House Christmas episode question. I don't think
Speaker 1: I was even in them, So we'll see, We'll see
Speaker 1: how this goes. This is a big experiment, Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: Would you rather spend your Christmas in an airport because
Speaker 1: of a blizzard or be trapped inside a novelty store
Speaker 1: on Christmas Eve because you're accused of being thieves? That
Speaker 1: was Mickey Roone. I think that was a Mickey Rooney one.
Speaker 3: That was the Mickney Ronee.
Speaker 2: Remember being trapped in the airport, But I don't remember
Speaker 2: being trapped in a novelty store.
Speaker 1: I don't know that was season Keys. That was season
Speaker 1: eight Arrest You Marry Gentleman, which was Mickey Rooney. I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think I was in it. So I
Speaker 1: don't remember this at all. Maybe DJ wasn't I know,
Speaker 1: it was probably Jesse's probably Jesse in Oh yeah, it
Speaker 1: was Jesse and Michelle who were trapped in the store.
Speaker 1: So you weren't even in those scenes. Okay, so you
Speaker 1: were in the airport episode the season two our very
Speaker 1: first Christmas show, yes, where you're stranded in the back.
Speaker 3: Was that one? Not with Mickey Rooney.
Speaker 2: Also, I remember being in an episode with Micky Rooney,
Speaker 2: but that wasn't until season eight, right.
Speaker 1: The season two Christmas episode was with Boss Haug, the
Speaker 1: Dukes of Hazard guy who was like the cranky curmudgeon
Speaker 1: who was just like, you know, he was mad at kids,
Speaker 1: mad at everything. Then they're sort of hinted around that
Speaker 1: he might be like Santa Ish or you know, magic.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: So, okay, so trapped in an airport or trapped in
Speaker 2: a novelty store being accused of being a thief. I'd
Speaker 2: rather be trapped in an airport because there's people around. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and at least you could sing some carols with people.
Speaker 2: You could probably like garner up a good party to
Speaker 2: go on if you are so many people trapped together,
Speaker 2: whereas if it's just like two of you in a
Speaker 2: novelty store, you don't even know if anyone's going to
Speaker 2: find you for.
Speaker 3: A couple of days.
Speaker 1: True, Okay, Oh, this is thoughtful answer. That's a very
Speaker 1: very logical, super logical. I don't even have an answer
Speaker 1: for this. I don't. Yeah, it's just so ridiculous. I
Speaker 1: guess if you're trapped in an airport, you'll have Bob
Speaker 1: Saggat riding on the baggage carousel covered in snow. It's
Speaker 1: totally my favorite part of the whole episode.
Speaker 3: So great, I need to go back and watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, would you rather have a snowy Christmas in
Speaker 1: Nebraska or fake snow in the backyard on Christmas Day
Speaker 1: at the Tannerhouse.
Speaker 3: Leaning towards fake snow in the backyard?
Speaker 1: Really, I guess it depends on who you're with, Like
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, if we go to Nebraska, where we're with
Speaker 1: Becky's relatives, weetually in San Francisco.
Speaker 2: We're with the Tanners exactly. That's what I was thinking.
Speaker 2: I'm like, but I don't know what else we're doing.
Speaker 2: There might be real snow, But are we riding horses?
Speaker 2: Are we on a farm?
Speaker 3: What else do we do? Or are we in the
Speaker 3: middle of nowhere in Nebraska? I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's probably gonna be horses, because didn't Becky ride horses
Speaker 1: or milk goats or something like that.
Speaker 2: Yes, and I mean, listen, Nebraska might be fun for
Speaker 2: one Christmas. Maybe I should get out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, this is the one area where you'll get
Speaker 1: out of your comfort zone. Go to Nebraska.
Speaker 3: Go to Nebraska.
Speaker 1: Okay. Would you rather perform in the Nutcracker as the
Speaker 1: mouse king that's you? Or go to your best friend's
Speaker 1: Christmas party?
Speaker 2: Listen, the fact that I forgot your birthday and made
Speaker 2: you a hush brown cake. I am not going to
Speaker 2: skip my best friends Christmas party. I mean, that is
Speaker 2: my that's a no brainer answer. I'm not screwing that
Speaker 2: one up again.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you go one shot, man, I'm still bitter
Speaker 1: about that sixteenth birthday.
Speaker 3: I'm going to your Christmas party?
Speaker 1: Well, and I'm not even gonna be there because I'm
Speaker 1: going to be the mouse king performing.
Speaker 2: With Okay, that's somebody costume. Oh my goodness, you were
Speaker 2: so funny in that.
Speaker 1: That was season two fuller House everyone, the Nutcrackers episode, Yes,
Speaker 1: in case you're wondering, which was so fines it was. Okay,
Speaker 1: last last question, Okay, oh My Santa or oh my Lanta, Oh.
Speaker 2: My Santa Christmas? I mean, this is this just during
Speaker 2: the Christmas season? Why did I ever think of that?
Speaker 2: I need to be saying that, just like from here
Speaker 2: on out until the New Year. I need to be saying,
Speaker 2: oh my San Santa.
Speaker 1: I had forgotten about that, Oh my Santa. It's cute,
Speaker 1: I did. I liked how the writers would make up
Speaker 1: different versions of Oh My Lanta. I got a big k. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's corny too.
Speaker 3: I loved it. Agree, bring on the cheese man, I
Speaker 3: love it.
Speaker 1: Okay, well those are all the questions. It was a
Speaker 1: little you know, we'll get a little full house in there,
Speaker 1: a little you know, traditional Christmas cheery. But your answers
