1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: Less than two weeks away from Christmas. Now it's broken.

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: In the morning, Christmas stress.

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: I saw an interesting article today though about Tokyo, Japan.

4
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,080
Speaker 1: We're starting April next year, all government employees are moving

5
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: to a four day work week.

6
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 2: Whoa yeah, I mean talk about Christmas. Let's do it

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 2: here please.

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: Japan is doing.

9
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: This, dude. They're the most overworked.

10
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 3: Work hard, play hard. They're the smartest.

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: But there's an important reason for it. It's because they

12
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: want to give people an extra day to try and

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: make more babies.

14
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: Now that's a good day off.

15
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: See. The Japanese fertility rate is at a record low

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: of one point two.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: It's not good. It's not good over it.

18
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Needs to be two point one just to keep the

19
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: population stable. And so they're willing to try whatever, because

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: if they don't do anything, there's gonna be no young

21
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: people there in the next decade.

22
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: It is it awkward on the big day off to

23
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 2: like look your parents in the eye, like, oh god,

24
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000

25
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 3: Friends coming over, Okay, I don't want to.

26
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: Talk about it.

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: There's no small talk.

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: They're also adding new benefits like extended paternity leave and

29
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 1: AI childcare solutions where a robot will come and watch

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: your kid for you while you're in the other room

31
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: attempting to make another one.

32
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: Okay, they are.

33

Speaker 3: Nose reindeer was originally developed by an apartment store to

64
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: get kids to buy clown noses. Is that true or false?

65
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: Why would you need to sell clowns will end.

66
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: Up with clown noses?

67
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: How could drop and clowns the heyday?

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 3: I have ever seen a clown nose in a store.

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: In my light.

70
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: There was clown flu in the thirties, wiped out a

71
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: whole sex. Alexis said, that's a fake Christmas fact. That

72
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 3: is Rudolph was invented to get kids by holiday coloring books.

73
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: Ah the on his nose.

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: That is so smart. Why does it work so well

75
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: on all of us? We love being tricked, Jose, it's

76
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 3: turn to number twelve, number twelve. According to old Scandinavian legends,

77
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: farmers used to hang mistletoe in their barns, believing it

78
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: would give Santa's reindeer extra speed. Is that true or false? Well,

79
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: first they have to make out yeah reindeer.

80
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: Right, maybe that got him excited and they just started.

81
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: You got zoomi adrenaline rush after a kids.

82
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 3: Mistletoe is poisonous, right.

83
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: My honest thought here is if this was the case,

84
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: there are berries in the middle of the holly. What

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: if the deer can eat the berries, get the sugar

86
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: and if they hang it up, can they reach it?

87
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,040
Speaker 3: How high is it?

88
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: Okay? These are sugar rush?

89
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, as a diabetic I'm claiming sugar rush like alexis Santa.

90
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 2: I'm saying, yes, it's true.

91
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 3: Jose said, that's a true Christmas fact. That is.

92
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: Die of brows over.

93
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 3: Let's go to Brook.

94
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: Five Gold number Yeah, take five Brook.

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: Thomas Edison created the first strand of electric lights in

96
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: eighteen eighty, which he hung outside his laboratory during Christmas time.

97
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: Did that really happen or did I just make that up?

98
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, start Christmas. Here's the thing that Edison he

99
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: really loved a good light bulb. He's got obsessed by.

100
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: I don't think that he had the technology yet to

101
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: string them all together, though, So I'm going to say

102
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: that was false.

103
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 3: Brooks said, Thomas Edison did not create Christmas lights. That

104
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: is that is a true thing. He hung up lights

105
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,720
Speaker 3: outside his New Jersey laboratory, one of the first ever

106
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 3: do it. I mean he had the technology for lights.

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: He probably had the technology for string to hang them up.

108
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like, wow, that's amazing him just showing off

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 2: to everybody else still with those kerosene lamps. Get Edison

110
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: like nobody else had lights on the block. He's just

111
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: taking them all and taking him up his decoration. Oh yeah,

112
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 2: lights are really amazing the change humanity.

113
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: Okay, Jeffrey, were over to you. If you get this wrong,

114
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,599
Speaker 3: Alexis is gonna win the Christmas edition of plenty of twelve.

115
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Plenty of twelve. Actually, how about a number number one one?

116
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 3: Jeff The average Christmas tree takes about fifteen years to grow.

117
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 3: Is that true or false?

118
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Brook has told me that she knows families that own

119
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: Christmas tree farms.

120
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: Just no one one family that owns one Christmas tree farm,

121
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: but they bought it after it was already grown.

122
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: Okay, you know what I mean, Because that's the thing, like,

123
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 1: if it takes fifteen years for a tree to grow,

124
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: how would you ever make any money?

125
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 2: You know who would know this answer? Taylor Swift. Yeah,

126
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: on one of those things I forgot about color. Yeah,

127
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: number right, I mean maybe it's thirteen years. That's why

128
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: it's her favorite number.

129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I feel like it's got to be like three

130
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: or four years a tree to grow to the size

131
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 1: of a Christmas four business.

132
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: Be the fastest growing tree.

133
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the average tree is less than that,

134
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: So that's false.

135
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 3: Jeffrey said, that's a false fact. That is years years. Yeah.

136
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 3: Imagine they don't cut down every single tree every single

137
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: year at the Christmas far. Yeah, they have to rotation crash,

138
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 3: similar to growing anything. So the first time I.

139
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: Thought of this was like, dude, I'm gonna plant some

140
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: trees and in fifteen years, guys, yeah, we're so.

141
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: Much man, and then just crossed his fingers and he

142
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 2: didn't die.

143
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:35,000
