WEBVTT - How Santa Claus Thinks 0:00:00.960 --> 0:00:04.400 This is How Men Think with Brooks like and Gavin 0:00:04.480 --> 0:00:08.920 to Grab and I heard radio podcast. Okay, well, welcome 0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:11.639 to another episode of How Men Think. This is Dmitri 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.720 and I am. I'm flying solo today and I don't 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:19.239 know if that has to do with our special guests 0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:23.520 or not. Our special guest today is Santa Claus. And 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.080 the only assumption I can make as to why I'm 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.000 here alone is that everybody else is either on the 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:32.120 naughty list or aware that they have done something and 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.320 they're afraid to be on a zoom with with Santa Claus. 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:40.480 But myself, I am thrilled. I love Christmas. I've always 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.880 loved Christmas. It's my favorite time of year. The lead 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:46.199 up to it is phenomenal with the decorations and the 0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:50.840 music and the excitement and anticipation. Um, it's always been 0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.000 you know, it's always been something for me that has 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:57.840 has carried me through the year. Um, it's been you know, 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.400 I had some some ever since I was a kid. 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.560 It's something I would look forward to. And obviously I 0:01:02.560 --> 0:01:06.200 think we all get a little sad when the holiday passes, 0:01:06.280 --> 0:01:10.000 and I think that's that's just goes to you know 0:01:10.120 --> 0:01:14.600 why it's so important and how important it is to us. Um, 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.880 it's just so, I'm actually, why don't I Why don't 0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.039 I bring Santa and now and I'll kind of explain 0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.039 a little bit of of what Christmas is to me. 0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.559 But I'm thrilled to introduce here. A man here needs 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:32.199 no introduction. Santa Claus. Oh why everyone? How are you? Oh? 0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.959 You're all looking good. This is fantastic. I have to 0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.840 tell you, Santa, I am actually uh like a closet 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:43.759 in my house right now because I have four children, 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.240 and if they were to walk by and see me 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:50.160 on a zoom with Santa Claus, I think the whole 0:01:50.160 --> 0:01:57.240 place would just explode. So I'm hunker down. I understand completely. Yeah, 0:01:57.520 --> 0:01:59.480 But what I'm am gonna do, if it's okay with you, 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.800 I'm gonna take a screenshot of you and I chatting, 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:04.320 and then I'm gonna hold it over their heads for later, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:06.520 and I'm gonna tell them that that you and I 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.880 get together and shout about their behavior every once in 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:16.399 a while. I forgot to use it to my advantage. Um, well, 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.520 I gotta tell you it's Christmas, Like I was saying 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:21.120 just a minute a moment ago, Christmas is my favorite 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.680 time of year. It's obviously with everything that's going on 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:25.320 is here, it's been a bit more of a of 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.639 a challenge, but from my perspective, I've welcomed it more. 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:33.320 And um, you know, I'm trying to keep things normal 0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.800 for the kids here at home because they're obviously remote learning. 0:02:36.800 --> 0:02:39.600 They're they're doing school at home, and Christmas is a 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.120 very social time. So normally you go to people's houses, 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.840 you might uh, you know, go bake cookies with a 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:47.520 friend or something like that, and that's kind of about 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.040 the window this year. So we've been trying to do 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.400 some some different things here. My daughter, actually my oldest 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:58.000 daughter made a movie advent calendar, so every day we 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:00.920 pop open the thing and there's a smith movie, a 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:03.480 holiday movie that we that that we're gonna watch that night. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:08.440 So a lot of screens. But what are you gonna do? Good? Yeah, 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.520 And they've been making a lot of Christmas cookies, which 0:03:11.600 --> 0:03:15.880 which is nice. I hope to leave something for you 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.120 for when you visit, but right now I'm I'm taking 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:20.480 them down two at a time. You'd better leave some 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:24.520 for me. Um, I will say, though, there's it. I 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:26.640 was cleaning up flower every day in the kitchen, and 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.040 then I decided to just leave it. And now it's 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:31.400 just like a Winter Wonderland theme. That's just you know, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.440 white dusting all over the floors and everything. So you 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:42.320 should see the kitchen here, I bet can I Yeah, 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.360 I love to. I watched The Polar Express the other 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.320 day for the first time. That always kind of creeped 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:49.280 me out a little bit because the animation. But man, 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.880 they made the North Pole look fantastic. It is fantastic. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:57.520 Look around. Yeah, if that's a true invitation, I'll come 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:01.960 up and visit. Come on up. Um. Okay, well, so 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.960 I don't So what we have here is we've compiled 0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.720 a list of questions that people want to know from 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:12.280 Santa Claus, from our listeners. And I want to preface 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.520 this by saying that these aren't from me, So I 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:16.839 want you to remember these are from other people because 0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:20.360 some of them, you know, I assume Santa doesn't get offended. 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.920 But there's some questions here and there. I've been around 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.120 for quite a while. Okay, good, Yes, that's a matter 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:32.400 of fact, you've have right, Um. Okay, so let's let's 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:37.400 let's dive into some of these here. Um, let's start 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.960 at the top. So this one's a simple, it's a 0:04:38.960 --> 0:04:41.839 saftball one. What is your favorite the favorite Christmas gift 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:46.680 you have ever received or given someone? Oh, the favorite gift. 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:49.360 I think a couple of years ago I got one 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:53.360 of those air popping popcorn machines and at first I 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:57.080 kind of thought, what's this? And actually I use it 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:01.040 all the time. It's been a wonderful gift. Oh, very nice. 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:09.719 Santa likes popcorn or Okay, now do you so? A 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.279 lot of people kind of obviously dress up as you 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.919 and and mimic you and portray you in different scenarios, 0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:19.000 whether it be for her photo opportunity or you know, 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.880 something like that. Do you ever get offended or you know, 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:26.560 insulted by by other other Santas? Oh, not at all, 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.279 not at all. I've got ambassadors all around the world 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.880 and I can't be everywhere once, so I need help 0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.159 and I'm happy to have everybody helping me out. It's 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.520 a big job, but I want everybody to do a 0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:45.320 good job, all right, you know, you know none of that. Well, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.160 I gotta tell you I'm drinking out of my uh 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:50.200 my reindeer monkey here, But it's just apple juice, So 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:55.360 don't worry about that. Sure, it's my Marty Moose monk. 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.279 Did you ever see Christmas Vacation? Oh, I've seen a 0:05:59.279 --> 0:06:01.840 few Chris His movies. Yeah, that was a lot of fun. 0:06:02.400 --> 0:06:04.640 Well that is one of the questions here. What is 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:09.080 your favorite Christmas or Holiday movie? Well? I kind of 0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.120 like some of the old fashioned ones like Miracle on 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.719 thirty four Street and some of those I really enjoy 0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:18.360 and I think that's what Mrs Claus likes as well. 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:20.719 Some of the newer ones are a lot of fun. 0:06:20.839 --> 0:06:24.400 And I wish the North Pole were that glamorous but 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.440 pretty played around here. We have a bunch of reindeer 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:32.000 and elves running around and stables and barns. But it's 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.159 a beautiful place, but not quite as glamorous and some 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:38.880 of those movies. Yeah, I love that. Who would you say? 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:42.120 This is actually another question is nice segue. Who would 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:45.320 you say is did the best job portraying you in 0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:50.039 a movie? Oh? Who's that Russell character? There? He did 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:52.880 a wonderful job. But his beard is not wide enough. 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:56.200 Kurt Russell? Is that the Christmas Chronicles? That's the guy 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.880 right there? Sure he's just skinny though, he needs to 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.599 fatten up a bit. Well that is quite a that's 0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:06.840 quite some high praise though from from Santa Claus. Um. 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.080 Now here's here's a question. Do you do you ever 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:13.880 really give people? Listen? I know you're nice and you're 0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.440 you know you're treat everyone is saying, But there's this 0:07:16.520 --> 0:07:19.080 myth about you given coal to people that were naughty? 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.280 Have you ever given cole or have you ever just 0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.200 given like a relation gift to some of it you 0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:26.680 weren't part in my mouth? Well, this is the kind 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.160 of coal I give right here. And you don't want 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:33.160 to get this, let me not at all. We want 0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:35.960 everybody to stay on the nice list, and I have. 0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:39.840 I'm guilty. You know one time this this kid just 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.320 was not behaving and I gave him a chia pet. 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.760 I think that that made me worse than coal. Oh 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.360 it's horrible. Because the kids want iPhones and they want 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.560 skateboards and all this wonderful stuff in here, I give 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.000 them a g No no offense to the GIA company. O, no, 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.120 of course, no, no offense to the coal industry. I 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:10.120 assume as well. Santa loves everyone. Um, here's something, here's 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.720 something interesting. My wife wants something sexy for Christmas? What 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:18.560 do you recommend? Again, these are from our listeners. Oh, 0:08:18.600 --> 0:08:22.160 I got I had got a great idea. Okay, look 0:08:22.640 --> 0:08:28.440 this is my mask right here. Okay, look is that 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:32.680 sexy Santa? For those of you that that are listening, 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.200 I can't see Santa. Just Santa just took his face mask. 0:08:36.280 --> 0:08:39.040 It was very nice Christmas themed plaid mask. But then 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.440 he turned it um from horizontal to vertical. I'm not 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:46.080 sure how that would stay on Santa. But uh, that's okay. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.880 But I was trying to figure out it's okay. Well, 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:59.440 I'm officially uncomfortable. Here's something someone says, I would like 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:01.840 to suck up to my boss and win some points. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.040 What is the best gift to give your boss? Oh? 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:08.400 I think probably the best thing you could do is 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.400 find out what kind of sports he likes and give 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.439 him some ballgame tickets or something like that. Here, you're 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.960 going to score big points right there. That's very nice. 0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.600 That's a good Uh, it's good thinking. Obviously, when when 0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:24.440 sports fully come back, I love that idea. Now I 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.160 just have to try and become someone's boss so I 0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:31.839 can get some sports tickets, which will that's not that's 0:09:31.880 --> 0:09:37.000 not gonna happen anytime soon. Um. Now, Santa, do you 0:09:37.040 --> 0:09:39.800 have any kids? This is a question from the listeners. Oh, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:43.600 I've got kids all over the world, millions of kids. 0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:46.240 I treat all the children of the world as if 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.160 they were my own. That's funny because there's a follow 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:52.440 up question and they say, I don't really like other 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:56.120 people's kids. How do you do it? Well, it's simple 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.680 for me because I'm only around the kids in a 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:02.280 very short period of time in December. So it's easy 0:10:02.280 --> 0:10:07.480 because I get to go home. But the barrage, you're ducky. 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.040 That's an excellent point, and you know what to Even further, 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.160 bedtime is one of the hardest times of being a parent, 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:17.320 trying to get the kids because sleep. You come in 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:29.000 after they're asleep. That's right, quite an advantage. Okay, So 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.360 someone else wrote it's tough this year, and frankly, I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.080 don't want to be near anyone in my family. I'm 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:40.760 sick of them. How can I get into the Christmas spirit? Eggnog? Uh, 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:49.520 regular nag regular? That a lot of sugar. They'll be careful. Okay, 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.079 So sad, I think put on some Christmas music and 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.080 maybe put up a few lights here and there and 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.360 and doing the radio, end all those Christmas songs, and 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.959 you'll get the Christmas spirit. Yeah, that's that's true. It's 0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:06.440 it's it's very uh, it really kind of it kind 0:11:06.440 --> 0:11:08.680 of takes you over and you can't help it but 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.439 feel in a good mood when you hear the music 0:11:10.480 --> 0:11:13.840 and see the lights and stuff like that. Wonderful day 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.040 and if worse comes to worse. There's that line from 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.600 Christmas Vacation, which was he has Clark says, Dad, all 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:21.920 those years, how did you do it? There's a lot 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:23.720 of I had a lot of help from Jack Daniels. 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:30.640 That's true. I keep throwing out Christmas Vacation. I once 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.960 watched Christmas Vacation every day between Thanksgiving and Christmas, once 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:38.800 a day every day. I don't know if I'm bragging 0:11:38.920 --> 0:11:40.880 or if i'm you know, confessing. And I know what 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:43.240 you're thinking. How can someone so popular with so many 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:45.839 friends watch that movie every day? And the answer is 0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:49.280 they can't. I don't have I'm not that popular. I 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:50.760 don't have a lot of friends. But I did watch 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.840 that movie. So I may throw out lines here and there. Um, 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:59.000 So here's another question for you. How do I tell 0:11:59.040 --> 0:12:03.760 my partner nice sleep that I do not like my gift. Oh, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:08.560 that's a tough one. That's a trap, right there. Be careful. Well, 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.320 if you really want to tell me you don't like 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.640 the gift, you could always take it through the window, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:14.760 open up the window and throw it out the window. 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:20.480 But go over very well. No, I think that's the yeah, 0:12:20.520 --> 0:12:22.800 the nicely part that probably goes out the window as well. 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:28.040 You should always accept a gift graciously. Now, you can 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:30.880 always read gift. Remember, you can always wrap it up. 0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.680 Just make sure that it doesn't get back to the 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.559 person that sent it. All right, So Santa is okay 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:42.200 with a gift? Santa? Huh do you read gift? Oh no, no, no, no, no, 0:12:42.200 --> 0:12:44.360 no no no. We don't be gift up here at 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.880 the North Well, no no, no, everything's made new every year. 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.040 We keep busy up here. There's no way to return it. 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.480 Where are you gonna do? Bring it all the way 0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:58.240 back to the north bowle here's actually, here's a question 0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:00.840 for someone and actually this rings true my home too, 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:04.920 But it's actually vice versa. But this says, actually it's 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:07.080 not vice versa. So it says my husband always wants 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.320 to decorate before Thanksgiving, but my entire life, it's been 0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:15.040 traditioned to always wait until after. This year was tougher, 0:13:15.520 --> 0:13:18.320 tougher discussion because of all that's going on. What's your stance? 0:13:18.600 --> 0:13:22.800 Should people decorate before Thanksgiving or wait till the day after? Oh? Well, 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:26.360 I think you should eat the birds first. I'm one 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:31.880 of those camps. So some Christmas music here there is, okay, 0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:34.960 but you know, eat the birds first, get that taken 0:13:35.000 --> 0:13:37.440 care of, and then you can die, right And you know, 0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:40.920 traditionally the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a little 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:45.439 slow anyway, so there's time to decorate. M hm. Okay, 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.120 Well that's that backfired because I'm actually the one that 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:51.640 wanted to decorate before Thanksgiving. You know, maybe we'll just 0:13:51.679 --> 0:13:54.520 cut that out and I don't won't have my Why 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:57.319 don't you just leave those give those lights up all 0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:02.120 year round? Exactly? Is that? What you do? Is the 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.920 North Pole Christmas all year round? O? You know what 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.360 we do and this is this was my idea and 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:11.040 not Mrs Clau's idea. What we do. The entryway to 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.960 the house is beautiful, it's all decorated up, and we 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.959 leave it all real Christmas e. Right, So when guests 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.920 come in, you know, they come into the house and 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.800 they see Christmas going on, and usually that scares him 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:26.760 and they run the other direction. What that's it said? 0:14:26.800 --> 0:14:29.280 What guests are you having at the North Pole? What 0:14:29.360 --> 0:14:31.680 guests you said? You have guests to come by during 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.480 the year. That's exciting. Get a lot of guests up 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.320 there if they can find it. You know, you need 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:39.120 a really good compass to find the North Pole. You know, 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.520 just keep going up there where the arrow says, keep 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:44.720 going north, Just keep going north. Most people don't get 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:48.160 all the way up there because it's quite far. It's 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.320 not an easy trip. But the people that do make 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.800 it have a wonderful time. It's beautiful up here, absolutely beautiful. 0:14:54.800 --> 0:15:00.280 A little chilly, but beautiful, very nice. Okay, so this 0:15:00.320 --> 0:15:03.840 one gets a little up. I don't know if you 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:06.000 want to sip a night before this. But my wife, 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.600 again this is from someone else. I'm just I'm just 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.560 a messenger. My wife gets super turned on during Christmas, 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:16.440 especially Christmas Eve. Do you know why that is? And 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:22.200 also is that weird for you to hear? Well, whatever 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:29.080 I can tell about you're laughing awkward? Well, you know, 0:15:29.280 --> 0:15:32.880 it's the ambiance of all the holidays. It's it's the 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:36.560 lights and and you know, the whole magical part of 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.800 Christmas that want to be special, you know. So this 0:15:39.880 --> 0:15:42.720 is a really good time to treat your loved ones 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:45.840 with kindness. And uh go in and give your wife 0:15:45.840 --> 0:15:48.440 a little smooth and and and you know, take time 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:51.280 for yourselves. You know you've got all those kids running around. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.280 They keep you busy, you know, so remember both the 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.760 door and have a little bit of fun with the 0:15:56.960 --> 0:15:59.120 with the mussiness, and give her a big old kiss. 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:02.360 Remember saying I love you doesn't hurt you one bit. 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.720 Oh that's very nice. What's the most romantic I'm going 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.240 off the cuff here just because you I didn't realize 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:10.680 the recessor romantic. What's the most romantic thing you've ever 0:16:10.720 --> 0:16:14.240 done for Mrs Claus? Oh? Well, one time, you know, 0:16:14.680 --> 0:16:17.360 I think it was Valentine's and I did the whole 0:16:17.640 --> 0:16:21.120 thing with the rose pedals leading down the hall through 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.040 the bedroom, and I put a little chocolate on the 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:26.760 pillow and then one of the ls eight the chocolate. 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.120 It didn't quite work, but the idea was there, and 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.760 I really tried. I'm not great at all that sort 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:38.960 of stuff. But I tried, and Mrs Claus appreciates that. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:41.520 You know. I think when you're with someone as long 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.960 as I've been with Mrs Claus, you know, just being 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.880 kind to one another and and all the other stuff 0:16:46.920 --> 0:16:51.120 sort of works itself out very nice. Remember, I'll give 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:53.200 you a little secret. I'll give you a little secret. 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:58.000 It's always yes, dear, Yes, yes, that's the part I 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:01.200 keep forgetting. Oh well, listen, and you better relearning, you 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.160 young kids. You know. I gotta thank you young guys 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.920 how to do things. I'm not that young, but thank you. Well. 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:11.359 I guess nobody knows how old you are, so and 0:17:11.359 --> 0:17:13.480 I won't go there, we won't ask that question. But 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:15.400 I like your I like your advice to the rose 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.760 petals and a little mistletoe in the bedroom. Huh oh, yeah, 0:17:19.000 --> 0:17:27.480 that works. Just the fact that you remembered works. Um, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.360 How did you know Mrs Claus was the one? Well, 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:35.600 that's an interesting interesting story. We were at an Iditarod 0:17:35.760 --> 0:17:40.480 race and this was a long long time ago, and 0:17:40.600 --> 0:17:44.399 she came around the corner with that team pulling pulling 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.520 this leigh and she was cracking that whip. And I 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:51.560 said that's the one for me. Oh, it's just a beauty. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.119 She kind of had this beautiful red outfit on. It 0:17:54.280 --> 0:17:57.560 was cooking like about to hear and oh boy, that 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.320 did it for me. Okay, like a bull you saw 0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:06.880 red and that was right? You have that right? There 0:18:07.000 --> 0:18:13.560 was no at that point. Now, okay, here's another question. Um, 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:16.879 does Mrs Claus like her alone time on Christmas Eve? 0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:19.639 When you're out all night? Does she miss you? And 0:18:19.720 --> 0:18:22.200 does she consider it like a boy's night out where 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.480 like next week she gets a night out where you 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.840 have to stay home and she gets to do what 0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:32.719 she wants. She's practically pushes me out the door. She 0:18:32.800 --> 0:18:35.200 can't wait till I'm out of there. But I will 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.520 tell you one thing. She's really good at hiding everything, 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:41.040 all the evidence and tending up before I get home. 0:18:41.400 --> 0:18:43.680 So I don't really know what goes on when I'm gone. 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:46.919 Oh you might need to get one of those, uh 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:49.800 give yourself one of those ring cameras or a nanny 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:57.720 camera or something. That's an idea. I'll probably be shocked. Okay, 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:02.920 So here's one. It says my husband doesn't help decorate 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.640 the house. I have to basically beg him to decorate 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:08.480 the tree. But shouldn't he want to do it. Shouldn't 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:11.200 that be something that he wants to do together with me. Well, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:15.760 I'll be careful here, because you know, decorating and all 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.359 that sort of stuff doesn't really become natural for a 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:23.600 lot of man you know, some yea, some some that's fine, 0:19:23.720 --> 0:19:26.600 you know, but but most of us, it's not what 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:28.960 we really like to do. It's not what we're best at. 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.160 So uh, you know, just help out where you can 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.159 and and the rest of it. I'm telling you you 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:39.920 stay out of the way. Interject too much advice. I've 0:19:40.000 --> 0:19:42.520 learned that the hard way. Don't say to move that 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:45.640 over that way a little. That's a trap. Be careful, 0:19:45.840 --> 0:19:48.199 stay out of it. Your best to stay out of 0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:51.960 all of it. Man, Santa, I knew you were the 0:19:51.960 --> 0:19:55.040 expert on presents and giving and the spirit of Christmas. 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:57.920 I guess I didn't really know that you had such 0:19:57.960 --> 0:20:01.040 great relationship advice. Oh all right, how do you think 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.920 guys getting married so long? That's a good point. So here, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.680 actually here's a question for you, and this, I guess 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.280 this is a personal feeling for you that they don't 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:11.800 want to sult you. But I want to break up 0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:16.960 with my boyfriend? Would you prefer I wait until after Christmas? Oh? 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.200 I would? I would? Yes, nobody needs all that extra 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:24.080 drama right at the holidays. Just wait. You know, a 0:20:24.080 --> 0:20:26.760 couple more weeks isn't gonna kill you. You just wait. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:31.840 It will make everybody's holiday a lot happier for sure. Okay, Well, 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.080 let's that's good advice. I guess. Yeah, as long as 0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.720 they they you know, they're together anyway, might as well 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:40.080 just enjoy the holiday. I don't know at the moment, 0:20:40.200 --> 0:20:42.119 I'm kind of torn on that one, because then you're 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:43.960 going through the motions. But listen, who am I to 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:51.520 argue your Santa claus Um? Okay, let me see here. 0:20:52.119 --> 0:20:55.400 It says, how do I get my husband to get 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.440 what I really want as a gift this year? And 0:20:58.520 --> 0:21:02.359 he tips? Anyway? That does Mrs Ods drop hints for you? Oh? 0:21:02.480 --> 0:21:05.000 Does she drop hands? Let me tell you? Have you 0:21:05.000 --> 0:21:10.639 ever seen a brick coming at you? Thankfully? No? Well, 0:21:10.760 --> 0:21:13.320 you know what she does, and I think she thinks 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.480 she's being clever, but I've caught onto her. She gets 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:19.399 all these magazines you see, and all these catalogs in 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:21.919 the mail, and what she does is she kind of 0:21:22.400 --> 0:21:25.000 folds over the paper, you know, it's called dog eared, 0:21:25.040 --> 0:21:27.240 and she kind of folds it over to the page 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.040 where she wants, you know, and then she leaves those 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:36.200 in next to the commode. I can get the idea. 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:41.760 It doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Okay. 0:21:41.960 --> 0:21:45.400 The next question here is, uh, so they're very impressed 0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:48.680 with how organized you are, obviously keeping all the kids 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:52.040 in the world and adults, uh, you know, organized, and 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:54.320 they want to know what's what's a little tip that 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:56.840 they can give their husband odds to how to stay 0:21:56.840 --> 0:21:59.920 more organized or how to be a little more organized organized. 0:22:00.840 --> 0:22:07.600 You think it's organized around here, it's the elves. Oh, 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:13.720 it's mostly chaos. Okay, well that's good. That's that's the elves. 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.520 They keep me in line, and you know the hardest 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.280 thing for me to do. You know, sometimes I'll pick 0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.000 up a tool to make a toy and I'll set 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:23.359 it down and I completely forgot where I set it down. 0:22:23.359 --> 0:22:25.760 So it's best if you can remember to put it 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.360 back exactly where you found it. That way, it'll always 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:30.840 be there. But when you have so many elves running 0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.399 around here and everybody's sharing tools again, it gets a 0:22:34.400 --> 0:22:37.080 little crazy, especially this time of the year. We're racing 0:22:37.119 --> 0:22:40.920 against the clock. Okay, well that's kind of a win 0:22:41.040 --> 0:22:44.080 for for unorganized guys out there, Santa said. Listen, he's 0:22:44.080 --> 0:22:47.160 not organized either, so yes, yes, you just back off. 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:51.160 Let's get the job done. Worry about the organization later on. 0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:55.880 Here's an interesting one. If you could change one thing 0:22:55.920 --> 0:23:00.080 about Christmas and the holiday season, what would it be? Oh, 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:05.639 I think, oh, let's see, probably not to do Christmas 0:23:05.720 --> 0:23:09.600 commercials in July. I think that, you know, hold off 0:23:09.640 --> 0:23:13.080 a little bit. You know, when you're in California, so 0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:15.720 you know, when it's a hundred degrees outside and you 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.840 go inside and you see a commercial for Christmas stuff 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:23.720 in the middle of summer, then work, wait a little 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:25.840
