1
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:06,199
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time.

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 2: Time, luck and load.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,920
Speaker 1: So Michael Very Show is on the air.

4
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 3: Where's Heart is a movie about Christmas?

5
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: Here's how I know.

6
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 3: There's a fire that brightly burnt, a party where everyone's

7
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 3: turns and Ellis's drugs are kind kind of like the snow.

8
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 3: Die Heart is a movie about Chistmas.

9
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: And that's my opinion.

10
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 3: And the rooftops at night they are full of twinkling

11
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: lights from the sub machine.

12
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 4: There's a game together.

13
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 1: Over though they've been fighting before.

14
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: They work out all of their differences and they're not

15
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: mad anymore, and together they kill lots of terrorists.

16
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 4: That have Sea four.

17
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: I think it is right.

18
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 3: Die Heard as a movie about Chistmas. There's red and

19
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 3: green decre Yeah. The green is the millions of bucks.

20
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: The red is from all the blood from the punching.

21
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: And the shooting and the gore.

22
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 3: Die Heard is a movie about Chistmas.

23
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: Think about it.

24
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: There was missile, so there were missiles. Stay with me

25
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 3: and MacLean had beare feet get it missed?

26
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 4: Are you feeling this?

27
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: Yeah?

28
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 5: And why is there eleven year old watching this?

29
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 1: It's good.

30
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 3: Die Hard is a movie about Christmas. Because a bearded

31
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: man did fly. He was sort of like Santa Clause.

32
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 3: Instead his name was Hans and he flew through the

33
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: air into the sky. Die Hard is a movie about

34
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: Churris must all.

35
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 4: The fun you tied clothes, all.

36
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: Of the swepters that we've seen, kind of like now

37
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 3: I have a machine gun.

38
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Ho ho. There was packing tap for little surprises. The

39
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: parents had to wrap McLean. It was thirty four years back.

40
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 6: A never ending debate super has come ups about this

41
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 6: time every year. I must confess I've never been a

42
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 6: part part of it, but other people on our team have,

43
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 6: and that is the enduring question.

44
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: Is die Hard a Christmas movie?

45
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 6: It is a hotly debated topic, I think partly because

46
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 6: people don't want the topic to die. It's just like

47
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 6: talking about the movie and whether or not it's a

48
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 6: Christmas movie. Either you think it's a Christmas movie or

49
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 6: you don't. There is no in between.

50
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm told I haven't actually seen a movie, so no,

51
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: I haven't.

52
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 6: Some people say it's an action movie that takes place

53
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 6: at Christmas, and others say it's an action packed Christmas movie.

54
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: You're welcome to weigh in by email if you'd like Roman.

55
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 6: Where are you on all this, I forget Christmas movie

56
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 6: all right? Apparently, if you've never seen the film, that

57
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 6: would be me. It stars Bruce Willis as John McLean,

58
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 6: a wise, cracking New York cop. Is a strange wife

59
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 6: moved the kids out to la when she took a

60
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 6: new job, so McLean flies out to spend Christmas with

61
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 6: his family. He meets his wife Holly at her office

62
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 6: on Christmas Eve. While he's there, Hans Gruber played by

63
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 6: Alan Rickman and his men take everyone hostage, but McLean

64
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 6: manages to slip away unseen. He's Bruce Willis, he can

65
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 6: do those things. He spends the rest of the movie

66
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 6: as a fly in their ointment. Screenwriter Stephen Desusa affirmed

67
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 6: that it is a Christmas movie. Bruce Willis says, no,

68
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 6: it's a Bruce Willis movie. The movie's director John McTiernan said,

69
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 6: we hadn't intended it to be a Christmas movie, but

70
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 6: the joy that came from it is what turned it

71
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 6: into a Christmas movie. Does that clear it up for anyone? No?

72
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 2: Well.

73
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 6: A new trailer was re edited by twentieth Century Studio

74
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 6: formerly twentieth Century Fox when they released the movie in

75
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 6: the new digital release, on four K and here's the trailer.

76
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 1: John nice Ver. He just wants to spend Christmas with

77
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the family. We'll see what Santa and Mommy can do.

78
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 7: But when he gets stuck at the office party, Merry Christmas,

79
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 7: it'll be a holiday. He'll never forget this Christmas.

80
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 2: It's the time of Americas. So be a could share.

81
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: Only John can drive somebody that crazy.

82
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 7: Get ready to jingle some bells and deck the halls

83
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 7: with bows.

84
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: Of Bruce Willis. Get together, Alan Rickman, think.

85
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: You have a chance against optimistic cowboy.

86
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: Together in the greatest Christmas story ever.

87
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 8: Told you got some bad news for you, Booby eed

88
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 8: at Harvey, I started to get a bad feeling of

89
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 8: this Harry Christmas movie, die Hard.

90
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: This is their idea of Christmas.

91
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 2: I gotta be here for New Years.

92
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 6: That certainly seems to make a pretty good case that

93
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 6: this classic is indeed a Christmas movie.

94
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 1: Should I watch it?

95
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 6: Remove But when the Hollywood reporters surveyed random people in

96
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 6: twenty eighteen, guess which percentage. Guess what percentage said it

97
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,559
Speaker 6: was not a Christmas movie. I already started that sentence

98
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 6: by butt, so I've already tipped you off. Sixty two

99
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 6: percent said it was not a Christmas movie. If die

100
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 6: Hard is not a Christmas movie, then what about die

101
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 6: Hard two, which I also haven't seen. It also took

102
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 6: place at Christmas. One thing for sure, Von Munroe's version

103
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: of let its Know at the end of the first

104
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 6: film sure makes it seem like a Christmas movie. Looking back,

105
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 6: what a smooth move that was, because the chatter around

106
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 6: the movie has kept it alive.

107
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 9: All the weather outside its rightful, but the fire heavy,

108
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 9: so nightful and simply no place to go.

109
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: Let us know, let us know, listen, it doesn't your

110
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 4: side stopping and I brawl some call for poppy. So

111
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: like the day wait, let it know, let us know,

112
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 4: let its know, let remind me gets good?

113
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 10: Nice?

114
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 2: How I am going out?

115
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: And the going?

116
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 11: Wow?

117
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 4: Did you really hold me kind.

118
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 3: All the way home?

119
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: Wal?

120
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm got to see how you clean step it in there?

121
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: Cute toys twelve terroristic Tony Plassen were doing this for

122
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: eleven years.

123
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 5: Ten square blocks day.

124
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 9: May days, general nine eight licking thirty.

127
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: Data CAEPEC. Four million dollars.

128
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 10: It's Ramon the King of Dean and this other guy,

129
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 10: Michael Barry, is that Timmy?

130
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 6: Year again we get stories of someone dressed like a

131
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 6: Grench getting arrested. What was it the Bad Santa? What

132
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 6: was the movie where all the Santa claus is getting

133
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: the fight or was that actually real? I think that

134
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 6: was real.

135
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, remember it went viral. Somebody find that and send

136
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:50,959
Speaker 1: that to me.

137
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 6: There's there's a there's mayhem that breaks out amongst these

138
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 6: all these small Santas and they get in a big

139
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 6: fight and it's just nothing funnier, right, It's the juxtaposition

140
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 6: of the you know, the weakness, the mean and the

141
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 6: happy and like Santa Claus can't get in a fight anyway.

142
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 6: Every year there's a story, and every year we get

143
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 6: it of a new person. This year is a fellow

144
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 6: by the name of Tucker Lee Davis who's dressed as

145
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 6: a Grinch and they get arrested. So this year's story

146
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,959
Speaker 6: goes like this. Tucker Lee Davis and a co worker

147
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 6: named Ryan Jones were in an altercation at a work

148
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 6: of Christmas party at the Hotel Indigo in Traverse City, Michigan.

149
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 6: Davis attended the party as the Grinch and his buddy

150
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 6: Ryan Jones dressed as a reindeer. Now, let me first

151
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 6: say the idea of getting into a fight at a

152
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,719
Speaker 6: Christmas party in an outfit and how that's going to

153
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 6: look later. I have a little experience without at the

154
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 6: rcc our last Christmas party. Uncle Jerry. Anyone who knows

155
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 6: my co best friend, Uncle Jerry. He's about sixty two

156
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:11,720
Speaker 6: sixty three, um, and he's a big fella, about two

157
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 6: sixty two seventy and he wore a rabbit suit.

158
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: Now, the rabbit suit was already awkward. Did you see it.

159
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 6: I mean it's the shoes and all. It's not over

160
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 6: the shoes. I mean it's a onesie, right, It's something

161
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: you'd put a little baby in. Except for here's the

162
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 6: late fifties, big brownie fella. And the only thing that

163
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 6: you could see out of it was his face.

164
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 12: Right.

165
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 6: You know when you go to the amusement park and

166
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,959
Speaker 6: they got that cardboard thing and it's all painted and

167
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 6: you put your face. That's the only thing he's doing.

168
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 6: His face, and he's got the rabbit ears up and

169
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 6: the whole thing.

170
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: He's got his hands inside there, and it's over his feet.

171
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 6: So I mean he's in a onesie, a full on onesie, right,

172
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 6: And it was the employee Christmas party, so we'd closed

173
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:04,239
Speaker 6: the place down to every everybody but our team and somebody,

174
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 6: some dude had brought a buddy of his. We don't

175
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:13,719
Speaker 6: know why, but this dude was technically about to be

176
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 6: fired anyway because he was a problem in the workplace.

177
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know if he knew it or it

178
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: just he was just one big bad decision.

179
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 6: His buddy comes and since we provided free food and

180
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 6: drink for everybody, we had we had a casino party.

181
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 6: Everybody got to play and there were prizes and we're

182
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 6: having a great time.

183
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: And we used to really blow it out at our

184
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: Christmas party. Those were the good old days from home.

185
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 6: And so Uncle Jerry is there and all of a sudden, Rico,

186
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 6: who was our director of security, comes over and says

187
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 6: to Uncle Jerry, I got a problem with this guy

188
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 6: over here. I'm gonna have to deal with him and

189
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,679
Speaker 6: escort him out. And I don't want to have to.

190
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 6: I don't have to hit somebody at the Christmas party.

191
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 6: And he's a guest of one of our employees. Well,

192
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,599
Speaker 6: the employee and the guests were getting so drunk that

193
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 6: at some point the guest was fired, I mean the

194
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 6: employee was fired shortly thereafter. And that's when they knew

195
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 6: they had nothing to lose anymore. And so they decide

196
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 6: they want to get into a fight with Rico, who's

197
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 6: pretty bad ass dude who was our director of security.

198
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 6: And Uncle Jerry joins in, and they're rolling around in

199
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 6: the asphalt parking lot and Uncle Jerry's in his rabbit suit. Well,

200
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 6: when the Stafford Police Department shows up, they understood the situation.

201
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: Jerry is stone coll so over.

202
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 6: These two guys are drunk out of their heads down

203
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 6: in a headlock to keep them from hurting anybody else,

204
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 6: and there's Uncle Jerry in a rabbit suit. So once

205
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 6: the officers have ascertained that there's nothing really wrong, they

206
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 6: can't help but bust out laugh and ask if they

207
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 6: can have a photo of Uncle Jerry having apprehended them

208
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: while in his rabbit suit. Now, can you imagine if

209
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 6: that thing had gone very, very wrong and Jerry had

210
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 6: been the purp as opposed to the good guy in

211
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 6: his full on rabbit suit. And when I say full

212
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 6: on rabbit suit, let me make this weird. You know,

213
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 6: the guy in the speedo on the beach who comes

214
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 6: up to you and he's talking to you, and You're like,

215
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 6: I can't look below your chest, dude, you're wearing a

216
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 6: speed of Well.

217
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: He was wearing a slightly two tight rabbit suit. Did

218
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: I mention he's about six.

219
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 6: Three two seventy The rabbit suit was designed for a

220
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 6: comfortable fit for someone who was about six two to ten.

221
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a scene.

222
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 6: It's one of my greatest Uncle Jerry stories of all time. Anyway,

223
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 6: So nobody goes to the Christmas party looking to get

224
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 6: into a fight, but.

225
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: Tucker Lee Davis came in his Grinch outfit.

226
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 6: And if Tucker Lee is like most men, he's looking

227
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 6: to have his heart swell, two size is too big.

228
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 6: Except alcohol was involved, and I guess Tucker Lee is

229
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 6: an angry drunk because a hotel employee said that the

230
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 6: Grinch was arguing with the man in a plaid jacket.

231
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 6: That's when a hotel employee, Jared Archibald, tried to intervene.

232
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 6: When that happened, the reindeer took Archibald to the ground.

233
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 6: In a quote, This is a witness account grappling style,

234
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 6: and that's when Tucker Lee, dressed as the Grinch, started

235
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 6: to pummel the hotel employee about the head and shoulders.

236
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: When the authorities arrived and asked who.

237
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 6: In the cindiloo who was responsible for the francas, all

238
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 6: fingers pointed to the man in green, the Grinch. So

239
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 6: the popo took Tucker Lee to the Travers County jail

240
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 6: and charged him with misdemeanor assault and battery. The reindeer

241
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 6: was not charged, and we here at the Michael Berry

267
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 6: In this scene, Charlie Brown gets increasingly disgusted with the

268
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 6: commercialization of Christmas and wonders whether anyone even remembers the

Speaker 11: flock by night.

00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,560

279
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 11: they were sore afraid, And the Angel said, unto them,

Speaker 11: from swaddling clothes, lying in the manger. And suddenly there

286
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 11: was with the Angel a multitude of the heavenly host,

287
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 11: praising God and saying glory to God in the highest

288

00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 2: Can't you come out to me?

318
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:56,479
Speaker 7: Can't you come?

319
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 6: Can you come?

320
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 2: Did you come out tonight?

321
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 4: Dance by the light?

322
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 12: Oh? No?

323
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: What do you wish? When you threw the draw? If

324
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 2: I don't, it might not come true.

325
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: What does it you want? Mary?

326
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:16,400
Speaker 3: What do you want?

327
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 2: Do you want the moon? Just say the word and

328
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,440
Speaker 2: I'll throw a glasshole around and pull it down.

329
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 1: Hey, that's a pretty good idea.

330
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 2: I'll give you the moon, Mary, I'll take it. Then

331
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 2: what well, then you.

332
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 12: Could swallow it and it all does all see and

333
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 12: the moon beams and shoot out of your fingers and

334
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 12: your toes and the ends of your hair.

335
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: Am I talking too much?

336
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 10: Yes?

337
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 12: Why don't you kisser instead talking at a desk?

338
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 5: How is that?

339
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: Why don't cher kissers are.

340
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: Talking at a disk? One way to kiss her?

341
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 8: Huh?

342
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 4: Oh?

343
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 1: You this wishing on the wrong people.

344
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 6: Our research director, Sandy Peterson loves a Christmas story. She

345
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 6: wrote in her submission as to why this was her

346
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 6: choice what she wanted to be known by a quote.

347
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 6: I think that this movie perfectly captures the aching desire

348
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 6: for that one gift that you know it's highly unlikely

349
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 6: you'll ever get. For Ralphie, it was the Red Rider

350
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 6: bb gun. For me, it was a pony. Sandy didn't

351
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 6: never say if she got that pony. Maybe the story

352
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: is better if she didn't.

353
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 5: Are you kidding? Stick Martita, stupid poet stuff. That's cause

354
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 5: you know him, stick he hold it? Oh yeah, don.

355
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 11: Dareia my jile DoD Dair.

356
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: Yet all right, all right, we'll go on, smart Joy

357
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 5: I'm good.

358
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 6: God, ye.

359
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 5: Sack, sack, I'm really hard.

360
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 6: Jim Mudd's favorite Christmas movie is Christmas Vacation.

361
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,640
Speaker 1: Because he's brilliant. I'm going to say that's a good one.

362
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Not my favorite, but a good one.

363
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 6: The only sequel to National Lampoons Vacation that holds up

364
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,920
Speaker 6: to the original Fight me. In this film, our hero

365
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 6: Clark Griswold is hosting the family Christmas celebration at his

366
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 6: house for the first time. It's a huge to do,

367
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 6: and Clark wants it to be perfect. That's the setup

368
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 6: for all of the National Lampoons, right. Well, nothing goes

369
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 6: as plan, especially when cousin Eddie shows up in an

370
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 6: RV unannounced with his family in tow. When Clark finds

371
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 6: out that Eddie is broke, he offers to buy gifts

372
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 6: for Eddie's kids.

373
00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: Here we go, Helen.

374
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 2: I want to help you give the kids a nice Christmas. Clark,

375
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: I can do the wins.

376
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm not one for charity now, I know that, Eddie.

377
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 2: This is a charity. It's family.

378
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 3: Now.

379
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 2: Come on, if you don't tell me what they want,

380
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: I'll go out and get it on my own.

381
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 6: Boy, this is a surprise, Clark's a real nice surprise,

382
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 6: Just a real nice surprise.

383
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: Here's a little less alphabetical, starting with Catherine. And if

384
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be too much, I'd like to get something

385
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: for you, Clark, something really nice.

386
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 6: So Ramone's favorite submission for some reason was or is.

387
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 6: I guess it's active today, but you submitted this a

388
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,440

Speaker 11: Is.

420
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 1: He Very Christmas everybody.

421
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 6: This is the Michael bennyshell. We thought we'd go out

422
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 6: with one of our favorites, Paul Harvey. He tells a

423
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 6: heart felt Christmas story about a man who is skeptical

424
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 6: of the Nativity tale. While his family is at church,

425
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 6: he finds himself faced with a flock of birds struggling

426
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 6: in a snowstorm, and despite his efforts to help him,

427
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 6: the birds are afraid of him.

428
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

429
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 6: The music is from Akira the Dawn, who puts music

430
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: over interesting things like this.

431
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,879
Speaker 2: The man I'm talking about was not a scrooge.

432
00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 4: Now.

433
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,400
Speaker 2: He was a kind a decent and mostly good.

434
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,120
Speaker 10: Man, generous to his family and upright in his dealings

435
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 10: with other men. But he just did not believe in

436
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 10: all of that incarnation stuff which the churches proclaimed at

437
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 10: Christmas time. It just did not make sense, and he

438
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,959
Speaker 10: was too honest to pretend otherwise. He could not swallow

439
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 10: the Jesus a story about God coming to earth as

440
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 10: a man. He told his wife, I'm truly sorry to

441
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 10: distress you, but I'm just not going with you to

442
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 10: church this Christmas Eve. He said he'd feel like a hypocrite,

443
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 10: that he'd much rather just stay home, but that he

444
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 10: would wait up for them. So he stayed and they

445
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 10: went to the midnight service. Now shortly after the family

446
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 10: drove away and the car, snow began to fall. He

447
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 10: went to the window to watch the flurries getting heavier

448
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 10: and heavier. Then he went back to his fireside chair

449
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 10: hegan to read his newspaper. Minutes later, he was startled

450
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 10: by a thudding sound, and then another, then yet another another.

451
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 10: At first he thought somebody must be throwing snowballs against

452
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 10: the living room window, but when he went to the

453
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 10: front door to investigate, he found.

454
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: A flock of birds huddled out there miserably in the snow.

455
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 2: They had been caught in the storm.

456
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 10: In a desperate search for a shelter, they had tried

457
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 10: to fly through his large landscape window.

458
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 2: That was what had been making the sound.

459
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 10: Well, he couldn't let those poor creatures just lie there

460
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 10: and freeze, so he remembered the barn where his children

461
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 10: stabled their pony. That would provide a warm shelter. All

462
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 10: even have to do is direct the birds into that shelter. Quickly,

463
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,560
Speaker 10: he put on a coat and galoshes, and he tramped

464
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 10: through the deepening snow to the barn, and he opened

465
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 10: the doors wide, and inside the barn, he turned on

466
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 10: a light so the birds wouldn't know the way in

467
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 10: what the birds did not come in, so he figured

468
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 10: that food would entice me. He went back into the

469
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 10: house and touched some bread crumbs and sprinkled those on

470
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 10: the snow, making a trail of bread crumbs to the

471
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 10: yellow lighted, wide open doorway of the stable.

472
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,440
Speaker 2: But to his dismay, the birds ignored the bread crumbs.

473
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 10: The birds just continued to flop around helplessly in the snow.

474
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 2: He tried catching them, he could not.

475
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 10: He tried showing them into the barn by walking around

476
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 10: them waving his arms, but instead they scattered in every direction,

477
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 10: every direction, accept into the warm lighted the barn. And

478
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 10: that's why he realized that they were afraid of him.

479
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 10: They were afraid of him. To him, he reasoned, I'm

480
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 10: a strange, terrifying creature. If Holy I could think of

481
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 10: someone let him know that they can't trust me, that

482
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 10: I'm not trying to hurt them, to help them. But

483
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 10: how any move he made tended to frighten them and

484
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 10: confuse them.

485
00:29:00,160 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 2: Just would not follow. They would not be led or

486
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 2: shoed because they feared.

487
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,240
Speaker 10: Yet, and he thought to himself, if only I could

488
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,640
Speaker 10: be a bird, now, I could be a bird and

489
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 10: mingle with them and speak their language and tell them

490
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 10: not to be afraid. Then I could show them the

491
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 10: way to the safety warm barn. But I would have

492
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 10: to be one of them, couldn't so they couldn't see

493
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 10: and hear and understand. At that moment, the church bells

494
00:29:53,080 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 10: began to ring. The sound reached his ears above the

495
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 10: sounds of the wind, and he stood there listening to

496
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 10: the bells at that stay few day list listening to

497
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 10: the bells, feeling the glad tidings of Christmas, and.

498
00:30:17,080 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 2: He sank to his knees in the snow. I hope

499
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: for you and those you love, this will be a

500
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: wonderfully merry Christmas
