And that's 170 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: the energy that I get from that genre of Santa 171 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,080 Speaker 1: just say yeah, uh, you's gotta bring toys to everyone, 172 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: nobody cares about Santa, which I feel like that's a 173 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 1: very evolved American version of Santa, where it's just like 174 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: harried boss who's got like too much shit going on. 175 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: Right, and also probably like as stand like I think 176 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 4: people are projecting like the stress of providing parents onto 177 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 4: the Santa character too in that version. 178 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: Hating your kids onto that Santa, like this guy's too nice. 179 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: But I did want to ask up top, like who 180 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: is the most iconic Santa to you? I asked my 181 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 1: kid to like close his eyes and like picture Santas 182 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: like a red red clothes, big jelly beard white or 183 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: big jelly belly white beard. And I was like, Okay, 184 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: but where did you, like, where is that image from? 185 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: He's like white Beard, big jelly belly, like he couldn't 186 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: couldn't like figure out where he was getting it from. 187 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 2: Mmmm, I don't have. I don't think I have. I 188 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 2: know it's weird, like this one podcasting. Yeah, I don't know. 189 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 2: I don't know, but I don't know. 190 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: I think I don't know what we're talking about. 191 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: I'm joking. I'm joking. I'm joking. 192 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: I know. Yeah, it is hard because there's so many. 193 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 3: Obviously it's not Tim Allen, and it could be there's 194 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 3: like fifty Coca Cola ones, you know, so it's hard 195 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:40,840 Speaker 3: to pick one of those. 196 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: It's probably something. It's probably not a person. 197 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:47,679 Speaker 4: For me, it's probably some like print printed image of 198 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 4: Santa that probably sticks out in my mind the most. 199 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I think that's right. Like, 200 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: but it just like nobody has been played by more 201 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: people than Santa Claus like Batman and Bond don't have 202 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,959 Speaker 1: on him, which it's a pretty easy role to play, 203 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 1: Like it doesn't really force you to stretch your chops 204 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: too much because he's just like happy. And then the 205 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: suit does as we as I saw with that, like 206 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: it says a principle like that does most of the work. 207 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: You don't, you don't have to be doing shit. 208 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 2: But yeah, yeah, I think there are. 209 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 4: I definitely remember Santa's that we like took me out 210 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: of the magic of it, even though I never really 211 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 4: believed it as a kid. I remember seeing like if 212 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 4: someone's in like a janky Santa costume, I was like, 213 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 4: this is fucking bullshit. This is stupid, and you stink, 214 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: like your boots are like little spats you're wearing over 215 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 4: your sneakers. They're not even real fucking boots. Your belt 216 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,840 Speaker 4: buckles plastic like that. It's weird when I see the 217 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 4: lack of attention to detail on a costume, because I 218 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: think the costume does so much for the fucking character 219 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,439 Speaker 4: that the second it's like phoned in or whatever, I'm 220 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, you're not you ain't. 221 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 2: You're not him. Bro. 222 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,120 Speaker 1: I think that Tim Allen movie is actually like a 223 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: good metaphor for like what happens to certain old men, 224 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: like as they get older, they're just like, this is 225 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: my ship now I am. I am Santa Claus. The 226 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 1: guy I was talking to like, he was like, yeah, 227 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 1: I like give all the money to charity, except like, 228 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: you know, a big chunk of it, I invest back 229 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: into the suit, and I'm just like getting a new suit, 230 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: like improving my suit every year. Like he's just really 231 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: into the magic of it, which which is really cool. 232 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: But like it does become a calling for certain old guys, 233 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,439 Speaker 1: which I think is fucking great. 234 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: Like, honest, there's way worse calling. 235 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 3: At least there's some positivity that, yeah, it was really 236 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: a coin Tim Allen's case, both Yeah, but I did 237 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: come into this this show with an agenda. Two miles 238 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 3: point is that as a Philadelphia Eagles fan, we have 239 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 3: been trashed for decades for throwing snowballs at and booing Sanna, 240 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 3: and I want to set that record straight. It wasn't 241 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 3: a an immaculate Sanna like we're talking about, you know, 242 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 3: like like a great suit. So this person did not 243 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,079 Speaker 3: reinvest their money into this suit. He was booed and 244 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 3: was pelted by ice because he looked like shit, and 245 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: that's why he was being booed. It was the worst 246 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 3: costume you'll ever see.

Yeah. 276 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: So, I think the most iconic Santa the one that, like, 277 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: if I if my brain is forced to pick just 278 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 1: one Santa, it's probably the Coca Cola Santa, which I 279 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: think the this is where the long standing myth comes from. 280 00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: The Coca Cola invented Santa Claus. We just had a 281 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: guest to like say that matter of factly on an episode, 282 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: and well, fucking fool. Okay, no, but everybody thinks that 283 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: we'll get into it. Santa has been around for centuries 284 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 1: before Coca Cola. They did do. They contributed a lot 285 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: to like kind of crystallizing what we think of as Santa, 286 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: but like all of the details were there before Coke. 287 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: They started using Santa for Christmas advertising campaigns in the 288 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: nineteen twenties, It's like, not quite there yet. And then 289 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: the guy who in their early nineteen thirties really like 290 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: turned it into the one that we know today is 291 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: this guy Hayden Sunny Sunblom aka Adolph Hitler. 292 00:15:53,040 --> 00:16:00,880 Speaker 5: No, just this guy, just an artist who block worked 293 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 5: for a Chicago marketing firm. 294 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,720 Speaker 1: He also created the Quaker Oats Guy.

SANTA i think standing, here five episodes 1224 01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:20,280 Speaker 1: into Our iconograph series of, EPISODES i Think santa's got 1225 01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 1: to be the most iconic person we've. 1226 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Covered he's at The he's at the top of the. 1227 01:08:26,360 --> 01:08:30,040 Speaker 1: ICONOGRAPH i learned a lot during the course of these five. 1228 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:33,639 Speaker 1: EPISODES i Think Miss piggy is probably the biggest. Mover 1229 01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: had no idea how massive The Muppet show ratings were 1230 01:08:37,120 --> 01:08:40,320 Speaker 1: when that was, On like hundreds of millions of. Homes 1231 01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,720 Speaker 1: we're watching that. Show So Miss piggy is going way 1232 01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 1: higher THAN i expected at the. OUTSET i think she's 1233 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:50,360 Speaker 1: probably coming in maybe tied at number two With. Einstein But, 1234 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:54,559 Speaker 1: santa you, know so iconic that when you put on 1235 01:08:55,080 --> 01:09:01,000 Speaker 1: the three main accoutrement of his, iconography the, beard the, 1236 01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:05,519 Speaker 1: suit the, hat people like can't even see. You you 1237 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: could be their assistant principle and they just like can't 1238 01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:13,960 Speaker 1: perceive you as anything other Than. Santa my final thought On, 1239 01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,280 Speaker 1: santa one piece Of santa lore THAT i meant to 1240 01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:20,559 Speaker 1: hit is the time space continuum as it relates To. Santa, 1241 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:26,960 Speaker 1: obviously he's a, mystical magical. Being the various movies have 1242 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: a lot of different ways of dealing with the fact 1243 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,719 Speaker 1: that he has to deliver so many presents on a single. 1244 01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:38,800 Speaker 1: Night my dad's version Of, santa he told me that 1245 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:42,599 Speaker 1: his older, brother like one, night Heardless Leigh, bells snuck 1246 01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:46,240 Speaker 1: down Saw santa and he was moving at a blinding, 1247 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,719 Speaker 1: speed but then stopped for a, second turned, around gave 1248 01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,240 Speaker 1: his older Brother barry a little, wink and then turned 1249 01:09:53,280 --> 01:09:56,040 Speaker 1: around and you, know delivered the presence and was. Gone 1250 01:09:56,040 --> 01:10:00,360 Speaker 1: and that's usually the main way that we deal with 1251 01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:07,240 Speaker 1: this time. Continuum conundrum is. Fast he's moving at light. 1252 01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:11,880 Speaker 1: Speed people have noted online that he has about thirty 1253 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,920 Speaker 1: one to thirty four hours in which to deliver presents 1254 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,240 Speaker 1: due to time. ZONES i don't know how that's exactly, 1255 01:10:17,280 --> 01:10:20,559 Speaker 1: possible BUT i think they're trying to buy him a 1256 01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,680 Speaker 1: little extra time. There but everyone acknowledges he'd have to 1257 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,599 Speaker 1: be moving at essentially light speed to get to all 1258 01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,760 Speaker 1: two billion homes with children on the. Planet but that's 1259 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:34,360 Speaker 1: all from our, perspective. RIGHT i want to take a 1260 01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:38,680 Speaker 1: page here From einstein's. Book einstein's first breakthrough on his 1261 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,880 Speaker 1: way to the theory of, relativity thanks to reading a 1262 01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:43,479 Speaker 1: bunch of sci fi when he was a, kid was 1263 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:47,559 Speaker 1: to imagine himself riding a beam of light as a. 1264 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,840 Speaker 1: Child AND i want to do that same thought experiment. 1265 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,360 Speaker 1: Here what is it like to be writing that beam 1266 01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:59,080 Speaker 1: of light of light speed travel With Santa claus On christmas? 1267 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 1: Night is it like for? Him and usually when you 1268 01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,160 Speaker 1: see him in the house in one of these, movies 1269 01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,479 Speaker 1: he's not just a flash that like blows through the. 1270 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:11,839 Speaker 2: House he's A he's. 1271 01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: A guy moving around delivering. Presence and sometimes he's like 1272 01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: going fast and then slowing down and going fast like 1273 01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:23,320 Speaker 1: In My dad's. Story the Movie The Santa claus explains 1274 01:11:23,360 --> 01:11:27,120 Speaker 1: this by implying that there's something where the fabric of 1275 01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:31,559 Speaker 1: time space changes inside that house while he's in. There 1276 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 1: one house at a, time time slows down As santa 1277 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,240 Speaker 1: moves through, it delivering. Presence and it's sort of like 1278 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:42,160 Speaker 1: a bullet time. Thing where as he's going through your, 1279 01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,800 Speaker 1: house if you looked, outside there would just be you, 1280 01:11:44,840 --> 01:11:48,439 Speaker 1: know everything would be frozen because your house is moving 1281 01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:52,360 Speaker 1: at an incredible. Speed but If santa is spending a 1282 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:56,160 Speaker 1: let's let's be generous and say a minute of his 1283 01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,000 Speaker 1: time to place the, presence eat the cookies again generously. 1284 01:12:00,280 --> 01:12:03,679 Speaker 1: Fast but he's doing all of that in one. Minute 1285 01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:08,320 Speaker 1: but he's doing that two billion times Every Christmas eve 1286 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Into christmas, morning A christmas. Night From santa's, Perspective In, 1287 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:17,840 Speaker 1: santa bullet time in the time space continuum would have 1288 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,560 Speaker 1: to last three, thousand eight hundred and five. Years that 1289 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 1: is two billion times one minute would be three than 1290 01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 1: eight hundred and five. Years AND i don't know any 1291 01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,000 Speaker 1: other way to imagine it from his, perspective even if 1292 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:38,080 Speaker 1: he's like a blinding flash to, us to, him he 1293 01:12:38,200 --> 01:12:40,920 Speaker 1: has to move around through the room and get the 1294 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,360 Speaker 1: presence out and set the toys up and eat the. 1295 01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,720 Speaker 1: Cookies for you gotta think at least a minute now 1296 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,599 Speaker 1: if you won't grant me, that if you want to say, 1297 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,439 Speaker 1: no it's just a second for him, somehow like he 1298 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:55,679 Speaker 1: has like hyper computer, brain and like even to, him 1299 01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:00,760 Speaker 1: it's perceived as a one second. Flash even then that, 1300 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:05,839 Speaker 1: night the process of hitting all two billion homes would 1301 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:11,880 Speaker 1: last sixty three. Years so just From santa's, perspective every 1302 01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 1: time he leaves The North pole to deliver, presence he's 1303 01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:21,439 Speaker 1: saying goodbye to his, home to his, wife to his, 1304 01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:27,280 Speaker 1: bed to his, elves or somewhere between sixty three years 1305 01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: and three, thousand eight hundred and five years at a, 1306 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: minimum just.
