Speaker 1: Welcome to Santa gust a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: Well hello there. When we last left Santa, he was
Speaker 1: having a hard time. The most wonderful time of the
Speaker 1: year can be the toughest time of the year for Santa,
Speaker 1: and Christmas Day is rapidly approaching. While there are still
Speaker 1: billions of toys to be manufactured, Santa is beginning to
Speaker 1: doubt if the children of the world even believe in
Speaker 1: him anymore. He needed a more modern way of reaching
Speaker 1: all the children of the world. That's when his elves,
Speaker 1: Snowball and Evergreen, convinced Santa to do the podcast. Oh
Speaker 1: what's the point of all this? Now? Christmas is only
Speaker 1: five days away and we're in a recording booth. We
Speaker 1: need to be making toys, not podcast or whoa Santa?
Speaker 1: We already talked about this. This is a weird year.
Speaker 1: People are angry, frustrated. They need to hear from you.
Speaker 1: Come on, Santa, everybody's doing a podcast except for you.
Speaker 1: Name the belief a mead is driving everybody everybody and
Speaker 1: they're good. Have you heard of the Easter Bunnies podcast?
Speaker 1: It is really good? Or the Tooth Fairies. The belief
Speaker 1: a mead has tried to do critical levels. Like I
Speaker 1: told you, children around the world love you and they
Speaker 1: want to hear from you, and we gotta get that
Speaker 1: belief meter up up up. Oh, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't think I have a very good voice for radio.
Speaker 1: This isn't radio, it's a podcast. Hey, you remember the
Speaker 1: kid who lost her Christmas list is my best Oh,
Speaker 1: we have got to help that kid. Yeah, yeah, Santa,
Speaker 1: You're the only one that can do that. You're right,
Speaker 1: Let's get her on the line. Hello. Well, hello, greetings
Speaker 1: from the North Pole. My name's Evergreen. I'm an elf
Speaker 1: up here at the North Pole, and I have Santa
Speaker 1: Claus standing by to talk to you. Listen. I have
Speaker 1: a couple of questions I'd like to ask you if
Speaker 1: you're willing to help me out, would that be okay great.
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to learn a little bit more about
Speaker 1: what kids are into this Christmas season, and I wanted
Speaker 1: to know how does your family celebrate Christmas? Um, My
Speaker 1: grandma and grandpa come overy usually and we talk together
Speaker 1: and we're in where funny hat sometimes I have a
Speaker 1: funny hat to you know. I have heard that you
Speaker 1: have been a wonderful host to our little elf friends. Snowy,
Speaker 1: she's very fine. She keeps them moving, which I love that. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's what I was gonna ask. Snowy has a reputation
Speaker 1: for being a little mischievous. Can you tell us about
Speaker 1: anything she might have done this Christmas season? Um, she
Speaker 1: hanged on one of the branches of our Christmas tree,
Speaker 1: but then she fell off her so we got some
Speaker 1: gloves and put her somewhere else. Then she liked that place,
Speaker 1: so she stayed there a little bit in the morning
Speaker 1: the next day, and then she moved into my stocking.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, she loves to look for chocolate and stockings
Speaker 1: and they are warm. That's true. Now listen, Snowy did
Speaker 1: tell us you had a bit of incident, if you will,
Speaker 1: with your Christmas list. She said that you got pretty
Speaker 1: upset about it. Can you tell us about that? I
Speaker 1: lost it? Then we made a new one that was
Speaker 1: even better. Did you feel bad when you lost it? Yes? Yeah,
Speaker 1: Well I've got some good news for you. We actually
Speaker 1: got both of your lists. I wanted to let Evergreen
Speaker 1: explain to you. I I'm kind of an older fellow
Speaker 1: and I don't know all the technology, but the elves
Speaker 1: are using a little something today. Yeah, Well, what's it called? Uh, yeah, Santa,
Speaker 1: It's called Jangle Jangle. It's a wireless cloud technology, so
Speaker 1: when Nora writes her list, it immediately gets uploaded and
Speaker 1: saved for you to peruse, so that she doesn't have
Speaker 1: to keep track of a physical list anymore. It's very
Speaker 1: convenient and um it's very stable, so Norah can trust
Speaker 1: that everything she wants this year is written down in
Speaker 1: a place where you can find it. And handwritten letters
Speaker 1: are still fantastic. We wanted to implement something too for
Speaker 1: those that were more eco conscious, so the app has
Speaker 1: been a great benefit in that regard. I have a question,
Speaker 1: since you said that Nora is a funny person, we
Speaker 1: could use some humor up here at the North Pole. Nora,
Speaker 1: could you tell me your favorite joke that you've heard lately?
Speaker 1: Knock knack? Who's there? Little old lady? Who? That's a
Speaker 1: good one. Would you like to hear a joke from me?
Speaker 1: You want to hear a joke about pizza? Nah, it's
Speaker 1: too cheesy. WHOA. She's got a good sense of humor.
Speaker 1: That's how you know that joke. It's my test for
Speaker 1: kids with a good sense of humor? Is that joke? Nora?
Speaker 1: Before we go, I'd like to ask you, would you
Speaker 1: tell me what you think the true meaning of Christmas
Speaker 1: is being with family. You are such a beautiful soul, Nora,
Speaker 1: and I know that you are going to have a
Speaker 1: very very merry Christmas. Okay, thank you so much for
Speaker 1: taking time to talk with me today. And you keep
Speaker 1: an ear out. Okay, you might hear my slave this year. Okay?
Speaker 1: Do you have any questions for Santa? You know? The
Speaker 1: one that I get every year is how do I
Speaker 1: get down the chimneys? Do you have a chimney? Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, you do. How do you think I get
Speaker 1: down the chimney? I don't know, very carefully, one break
Speaker 1: at a time. A lot of people think I use
Speaker 1: spanks to tighten up my midsection, but it's not true.
Speaker 1: So the only way I can get down a chimney
Speaker 1: is Christmas magic. Do you know about miss magic? Yes?
Speaker 1: Where do you think Christmas magic comes from the north poem?
Speaker 1: That's a fair guess. That's what most people think is
Speaker 1: that Christmas magic comes from me and my reindeer and
Speaker 1: my el and it's trapped in the permafrost. Not true?
Speaker 1: You know where it comes from, Nora, from you little
Speaker 1: boys and girls all around the world, spreading joy and
Speaker 1: Christmas cheer. That's where Christmas magic comes from. So can
Speaker 1: you spread joy and Christmas cheer for me this season? Yes,
Speaker 1: I believe it. I know you. You're one of the
Speaker 1: great Nora. Thank you for talking with us this morning. Welcome. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have a merry Christmas Christmas. You know, Santa catell
Speaker 1: by talking with little Nora that maybe he wasn't so
Speaker 1: out of touch. After all, he was a little girl
Speaker 1: who believed in the important things, time with family, peace
Speaker 1: on earth, and good will toward all. Maybe this podcast
Speaker 1: thing was where king. This episode of Santa Cast was
Speaker 1: recorded in the North Pole by Evergreen and Snowball with
Speaker 1: your host Santa Claus. Special thanks to our friends Brad Brinkley,
Speaker 1: Hannah Feerman, Matt Stanton, Dan Bush, and Brent Dye. Santa
