Speaker 2: Very Christmas.

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 3: Everyone was there anything you asked for but you never

4
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 3: got as a Christmas present?

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Patsy, Yes, I always wanted a spirograph set massive in

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: the late seventies early eighties, you know, not like the

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: ones you get now. Are those smaller sort of shrinked

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 1: up version. But these were like a full, like a

9
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: big board game size spirograph with all the shapes and

10
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 1: things and colored pens. Never ever got it, and it

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: was always in the toy wall catalog when it was

12
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: delivered every Christmas. The toy Woar catalog was massive, and

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: you'd circle and highlight what you wanted.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: We used to do that, that's right. Yeah, about eight

15
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:41,639
Speaker 3: different circles in the world.

16
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: I always had about twenty, but.

17
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 3: I need one of those kids.

18
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: You never ever got it.

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 2: Why did Santa never bring the spiral gun?

20
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: I know he was tight in that kiss.

21
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 3: Because you're a needy little brat from about twenty circles.

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, so it's spirograph for me. Always missed out,

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: and you know what, I still want it to this day,

24
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: but not the modern ones. I need one from.

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 3: Back there, Yeah, Jackie boy.

26
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: For years on end, I wanted an electric guitar, and

27
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 2: I was every year I were doing a negotiation with

28
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: my parents about this can be my Birthday present and

29
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 2: my Christmas present combined. And I used up all my

30
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 2: good will of the birthday president and Christmas present combined

31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: too often that the electric guitar took years to come. Eventually,

32
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: I said I'll save half of it if you guys

33
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: can meet me half way. And when I got that,

34
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: that was the best Christmas I've ever had.

35
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: A bet, do you think it was better getting it

36
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 3: because you had a longer wait? It really meant.

37
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: Something, definitely. I've got still childhood books where I draw

38
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 2: the guitar in like draw me with the guitar. Was

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: waiting for it, and I waited years for it.

40
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 3: I remember for years, I just wanted a denim jacket. Okay,

41
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: you know, I had these kind of fantasies that I

42
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: look like a rock star, and every year would ask

43
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: for a denim jacket. And every year i'd open up

44
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: all the presents and there's always been that little partner.

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 3: It's like, damn it, no denim jacket. My dad never

46
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 3: let me get when I was sixteen. She's worried I

47
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: would become dangerous. Who if I just put one night

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: Joe siph and his technical a dream coat, it would

49
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 3: it would change me. Our son was a good boy

50
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: until he got that denim jacket.

51
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 2: On, and now you can look back and thank him

52
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 2: for the man that he became.

53
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, what a man I became.
