welcome back welcome back to the alist podcast with alex and Alex. Happy holidays.

Speaker 2 0:25

Happy holidays. It is December 23rd and that means it's Christmas, adam.

Speaker 1 0:34

Oh, here we go. Okay, so I never heard of this term until you explained to me Christmas Adam.

Speaker 2 0:39

Well, because, the day before Christmas is Christmas Eve.

Speaker 1 0:42

Yes.

Speaker 2 0:42

And then the day before that I always knew as Christmas Adam. In high school, one of my friends always had a party on Christmas Adam because everyone was with their families on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 1 0:55

You know I like it. I think it's clever because Adam came before Eve.

Speaker 2 0:58

Yeah, and I just thought everyone knew that.

Speaker 1 1:00

And then the day before Christmas, adam, you should have a garden party. God, then it's God.

Speaker 2 1:06

Okay, yeah, but I just thought that was a thing.

Speaker 1 1:08

Hilarious.

Speaker 2 1:09

Cause, yeah, like Christmas Eve is reserved for family, so it's like we would have like a party with friends and family and, you know, neighbors and all of that.

Speaker 1 1:19

Right.

Speaker 2 1:20

On the day before.

Speaker 1 1:21

Okay, well, it's the week of Christmas right now. On the day before, okay, well, it's the week of Christmas Right now. I am with my family in Indiana you are.

Speaker 2 1:27

That's so crazy that you're time traveling back and forth.

Speaker 1 1:29

I'm really good at it.

Speaker 2 1:31

Yeah, it was very cold when I was there for Thanksgiving, so good luck to you. You know I run hot, so I actually thought I could beat the. Oh, you live in California now and you're so affected by the cold and the first day it was actually warm. It was like I don't know 50, like low fifties, and I was like oh, totally fine, like my sweatshirt is you know all I need? And I totally haven't changed. And then it progressively got colder from there and I was unwell.

Speaker 1 2:02

The thing is, our blood does get thinner in warmer clients climates.

Speaker 2 2:08

So our blood is literally thinner for survival in warmer climates and warmer climates.

Speaker 1 2:14

It gets thicker, more insulated and warmer.

Speaker 2 2:19

So sorry opposite. Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

Speaker 1 2:23

To be warm in colder climates yes, our blood is thicker okay so, yeah, we are weaker when we go back to the midwest all right, so there's a scientific reason.

Speaker 2 2:31

It's not just being like um you're in california calm down everyone but good luck to you. It'll be even colder and it'll be actually snowing there was some flurries.

Speaker 1 2:40

It's not happening. They will get snow in April.

Speaker 2 2:44

For sure.

Speaker 1 2:46

But yeah, so welcome to the Christmas episode I have. If you are not watching, I'm wearing a plaid onesie and I have a Santa hat on. Yeah, you're really missing the visual here. You can't really see the onesie part Next to a Christmas tree. Whoa, I mean, yeah, it looks like a comfy plaid pajama set.

Speaker 2 3:03

It is. It is shorts, though, because I can't sleep in pants.

Speaker 1 3:07

You would sleep in that.

Speaker 2 3:09

I could. I wouldn't want to because it does feel constricting and like I don't know, I feel like I'm in a straight jacket kind of but I could sleep in it better than I could sleep in pants.

Speaker 1 3:20

Yeah, I don't. I can't sleep in anything.

Speaker 2 3:25

I wear shorts and a t-shirt all year round, doesn't matter how cold it is. I will put more blankets on and still be wearing shorts.

Speaker 1 3:28

Yes, it is the preference to be in a colder environment and layer up.

Speaker 2 3:34

Yeah, people who sleep in pants and socks and everything.

Speaker 1 3:39

Yeah, I don't get it. No, like I am nude or just little underwear.

Speaker 2 3:44

I can't sleep nude, so I can't get it no like I am nude or just little underwear. I can't sleep nude.

Speaker 1 3:45

So I can't sleep nude in the summer months because I don't like my balls sticking to my body. It's too hot. Well, I need the cotton separation.

Speaker 2 3:53

Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:54

And that's a hot take.

Speaker 2 3:55

Um, I don't know if this is too forward of me to ask, but please ask do you in boys underwear? Is there a pocket for them? Pocket yeah, inside.

Speaker 1 4:08

And for them are you referring to your?

Speaker 2 4:10

testicles.

Speaker 1 4:11

A pocket.

Speaker 2 4:12

We can't do this on the Christmas episode. We can't have that word in here.

Speaker 1 4:15

Okay, so what you're? I think what you're asking is if there's like a separation. Yeah, Like is there they do make separate tech underwear, but traditionally no. It's they do make separate tech underwear, but traditionally no. But if you're an underwear connoisseur, like myself, you buy pouched underwear.

Speaker 2 4:30

So it keeps things where they need to be Like a bra.

Speaker 1 4:34

My brother-in-law once said I prefer boxer briefs because it's the support you need with the freedom you want.

Speaker 2 4:40

That is a slogan.

Speaker 1 4:41

It is.

Speaker 2 4:42

Wow, he should have sold that to someone.

Speaker 1 4:43

He should have. He probably doesn't even remember he said that, but it stuck with me. I was like I was like 15 years old, like wow, kyle is funny smart, funny, witty, all the things.

Speaker 2 4:54

Well, that's an interesting start to the Christmas episode. That's very wholesome, but I needed to know. I needed to know that.

Speaker 1 5:01

Yep I. I needed to know that Yep, I'm leading the charge.

Speaker 2 5:04

Yeah, alex is leading, because I was not prepared.

Speaker 1 5:08

It's okay. This was. This is the fun. Okay, we're going to play some games. We're going to talk about our Christmas pasts.

Speaker 2 5:14

Like in the Christmas Carol.

Speaker 1 5:16

Yes, and our Christmas futures and what we hope for them to look like yes. Let's start with. I thought it would be fun. Let's start with. I thought it would be fun. Let's go over some of our favorite Christmas songs.

Speaker 2 5:28

Perfect.

Speaker 1 5:29

I have a lengthy list, so I'm happy to just like just go down them quickly.

Speaker 2 5:33

Perfect.

Speaker 1 5:34

And then if you have words to say to any of them.

Speaker 2 5:36

Words to say.

Speaker 1 5:37

Then you, you, you pipe up.

Speaker 2 5:41

I okay.

Speaker 1 5:42

You know, as they say.

Speaker 2 5:43

As they say.

Speaker 1 5:45

Okay. So first of all, I have a favorite Christmas song. I've had a favorite Christmas song. I decided it when I was 18 and I was like maybe this will change. It hasn't.

Speaker 2 5:53

Question before you start. Okay, are these um?

Speaker 1 5:57

in new in order.

Speaker 2 5:59

Is there a separation between religious and secular?

Speaker 1 6:03

No, between religious and secular. No, I just had it. They're all mixed. For me, my favorite Christmas song is not religious, okay.

Speaker 2 6:10

Do you want to guess?

Speaker 1 6:10

Just this one, just guess this one.

Speaker 2 6:12

Okay, if I had to guess, I feel like okay. Can I ask a question first? Is it new?

Speaker 1 6:20

or old, it's old, it's been done by many artists. It's.

Speaker 2 6:25

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.

Speaker 1 6:26

Yeah, it is. Oh my gosh, I know you so well. Do you know my favorite version?

Speaker 2 6:30

I feel like it's a woman.

Speaker 1 6:35

Yes.

Speaker 2 6:35

I'm trying to think I'm trying to think of who you would be excited about. Oh, that was a hint Is it? Is it christina anguillera?

Speaker 1 6:52

sure fucking is I cannot get enough of her. When did she record this?

Speaker 2 6:54

oh my god, I think it was right after um her first album okay, so it's, it's older I thought it was going to be kelly clarkson, because I love kelly's christmas album but, yeah, none of her songs made my list okay.

Speaker 1 7:04

Okay, wrapped in Red is kind of a cute little bop. Actually, I love the song she did a couple years ago with Ariana and Jennifer, oh, snow is falling.

Speaker 2 7:14

What's that called? Is that Wrapped in Red Christmas Day?

Speaker 1 7:21

You're here. This wasn't the same Don't know, but the one she did with Ariana and Jennifer Hudson A couple years ago.

Speaker 2 7:30

I don't know that. I know it. I mean, I probably know it, but I don't know the title.

Speaker 1 7:34

It's so good, so that's my favorite Christmas song of all time. Moving on that's Christmas to me by the Pentatonix Wait Sidebar.

Speaker 2 7:43

I just watched that movie Moving on. That's Christmas to me by the.

Speaker 1 7:45

Pentatonix Wait.

Speaker 2 7:46

What Sidebar.

Speaker 1 7:47

Yeah.

Speaker 2 7:48

I just watched that movie.

Speaker 1 7:50

So did I Irish Wish.

Speaker 2 7:51

It's so bad, not Irish Wish. No, no, no, no. The one with Christina Milian. Christina Milian yeah.

Speaker 1 7:56

It's like I started it and I was like wait, all the Pentatonix are listed as the cast.

Speaker 2 8:06

Like right cast like right away. They're really bad acting like love you, but it's bad that is. I mean, here's the, here's the benefit to it.

Speaker 1 8:09

The plot was so bad.

Christmas Music Favorites and Memories

Speaker 2 8:09

It was a waste of having their music being a like the whole movie was, which was great yeah but like the story it was really bad, and you know what christina millian deserves better, because she's also in a really terrible christmas movie called something about the snow globe. Oh yeah, and it and it's really bad. But like how is she getting in these bad movies? Cause she's not a bad like she's a good actress. How is Lindsay Lohan getting her movies, and they're so good. And then Christina Miliana is getting Pentatonix Christmas.

Speaker 1 8:34

I don't know, but I've loved Christina since she was Tina with the movie servers.

Speaker 2 8:38

She's amazing and then dip it low pick, pick it up slow, dip it low, crazy, but yeah, that what's it called um, I don't remember a pentatonix christmas.

Speaker 1 8:50

Christmas, you guys, you need to watch it because you just need to know how bad it is, but just know that it's bad and in real life they would have just given her the ticket, like they the games they were playing yeah, why were they like following her on twitter? Let's just see how what shenanigans is she getting? Just like guys's, like guys.

Speaker 2 9:02

give her a ticket Also it would never be sold out. I'm sorry that's so mean, maybe like 10 years ago, but it's just like not.

Speaker 1 9:09

Right, well, the movie was from last year.

Speaker 2 9:12

And the tickets would not have been like $4,000 or whatever.

Speaker 1 9:16

This isn't Taylor Swift's artist tour. No, just like someone has a ticket. Also did you the scene at the end when she like barges in and finally sees him.

Speaker 2 9:24

They were in like a very conservative sized theater yeah, so maybe it would be sold out if it was like more than a 300 seater, right or less, you? Know what, and this sounds really mean, and if you're listening pentatonix, I don't mean to be mean no, and you get your bag you guys are great singers like they.

Speaker 1 9:40

I was watching it, though. Being like these people made a whole ass successful career out of singing without music, and that is cool.

Speaker 2 9:46

It is and they're so talented, but that movie was not it but their version of that's Christmas to me.

Speaker 1 9:53

Well, it's their song, it's original.

Speaker 2 9:54

Yeah.

Speaker 1 9:54

And then, uh, when I was in a songwriting group, we did a cover of it. That gets quite a lot of streams this time of year and I just love that song.

Speaker 2 10:02

Oh, sidebar, if you guys don't have it on your Spotify playlist, you should add You're a Mean One, mr Grinch.

Speaker 1 10:09

It's on my list too, by Valley.

Speaker 2 10:11

By Valley. I'm going to actually link to this.

Speaker 1 10:13

Speaker 2 10:25

I made my family listen to it when I was home and also it's great.

Um, this song is special to me because my mom and I sang it one year together and then just kind of became our tradition and I just like the memory it holds. It's a really precious song about how christmas makes you cry okay but it it's because the lyrics are.

Speaker 1 11:09

Standing around this, the, you would get the candle and you would make a circle around the whole church inside circle around the hole? Yes, and you would all. You would light the candle and then you would sing Silent Night, and that is a wonderful sound.

Oh, it's so good. Well, that was sung in church. It's the preacher's wife.

Speaker 2 18:53

I know, but in church, like with the congregation, it's like they're not singing to the world the Lord is come Receipt.

Speaker 1 19:05

Then there's the classics that obviously they're always going to be on the list Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.

Speaker 2 19:09

Love.

Speaker 1 19:10

Frosty the Snowman Love Anyway.

Speaker 2 19:13

Did you? Were you a big snowman maker?

Speaker 1 19:16

Yeah, that's my. That was my nickname, you know that.

Speaker 2 19:20

Alex Snowman.

Speaker 1 19:21

Maker Hinsky Alexander Snowman, maker.

Speaker 2 19:24

I never really did. I feel like the snow was never conducive. Every time I would be like I want to make a snowman, it would be like the snow is not hard enough to do that alison in our entire until we were like 16. We had incredible winters where there was always snow maybe, like my parents, just didn't want to do it, they'd be like, oh, it's too wet to your preteens and teens.

Speaker 1 19:44

You didn't want to.

Speaker 2 19:45

You weren't out there by yourself I think when I was that old I probably didn't want to be out there god, I am a such a snow bunny you guys had lots of land, though, correct, and I didn't.

Speaker 1 19:54

I lived in a neighborhood with a tiny but you didn't go to other people's houses at all when there was snow. It was always like, well, it snows on the ground.

Speaker 2 20:01

I guess I'm at my house we would go sledding okay, well there was a elementary school that had a really big hot take slope.

Speaker 1 20:09

If the snow is good enough to sled on, then it's good enough to make a snowman with, because it's that kind of snow I feel like I probably made a tiny one, but I never. Probably I didn't have the will either to like really roll it to do a big snowman. Yeah, you need a, you need team. It's a team effort and we would make some epic snowman. Yeah, well, I guess maybe we should put that on our list for something to do.

Speaker 2 20:30

Where.

Speaker 1 20:31

Big bear. Oh no, like that can be on your adult list.

Speaker 2 20:35

Right, just the next time I'm there.

Speaker 1 20:37

No, sometime in your life you should make a snowman, like kind of sad that you haven't.

Speaker 2 20:41

It is sad.

Speaker 1 20:42

Like actually.

Speaker 2 20:44

Okay, well, don't feel sorry for me.

Speaker 1 20:47

Too late.

Speaker 2 20:47

Don't smile because it don't cry because it happened. Smile, no, what's the saying?

Speaker 1 20:52

Don't cry because you lost it. Don't cry because it's over. Smile because that.

Speaker 2 20:56

Right.

Speaker 1 20:58

Anyway, should we go into a game?

Speaker 2 21:00

Yeah.

Speaker 1 21:00

Okay, so I have a couple of games which, to everyone listening, it was Alison's idea for both of these things.

Speaker 2 21:06

Yeah.

Speaker 1 21:06

And then I was just like oh well, I've got some time today, I'm going to go do these.

Speaker 2 21:09

I really dropped the ball, Like I don't know what happened. I went home for Thanksgiving and then I like my brain like melted away.

Speaker 1 21:17

Well, you know, I love being a host it's exciting that I get to be the one to just quiz you and do that, okay. So we have a couple of different things. First we have one that I can kind of participate in, which is Christmas themed F Mary, kill, perfect. And then I have a little Christmas trivia. So let's start with the trivia, okay, because this one I can like also partake in. So I have divided these questions up into. They progressively get harder. They start out very easy to eat.

Speaker 2 21:44

They progressively get harder.

Speaker 1 21:45

They start out very easy, okay. Are they multiple choice or just answer no, just answer okay. And there is a couple later on that you would probably consider easy. But I, for the most part, put them in order of like what I thought would be like easiest to hardest, okay, and there's quite a few, and if we end up taking a while on one of them then I'll skip. But let's get started. Allison, welcome to Christmas. Trivia.

So that's so cute 12 days of christmas, making people's days. Which country started the tradition of putting up a Christmas tree?

Speaker 2 25:00

Okay, I don't know, but I'm going to try to make an educated guess, yeah.

Speaker 1 25:04

I think you can do it.

Speaker 2 25:04

And I will say that, because this country is so not this like the one I'm about to say is so not this like the one I'm about to say, is so christmas coded that I think that it's germany you're right wow, I really want to go to a german christmas market, so badly.

Speaker 1 25:24

I had a friend that was in germany a week ago and his stories a dream.

Speaker 2 25:30

I was like this is a movie. Is there a chris kindle market here?

Speaker 1 25:34

kiss kringle chris crinkle? Oh, I don't know chris king, by the way, if anyone's listening and is trying to go to the row to go to the christmas market, don't. Oh. So first of all, tiktok gave it bad reviews. But like that's tiktok and then, katie went and she was like no guys, it's actually really bad what's bad about it? So all of the vendors. It's not like an actual farmer's market.

Speaker 2 25:54

It's like the vendors are selling stuff from like timu and okay, um, the food is not like people, homemade stuff, it's like little debbie's okay yeah, and it's like that's so ridiculous lines and because the normal farmer's market that is at the row is really that's a cream set she's like.

Speaker 1 26:11

But we also, I went to this one, that was like incredible.

Speaker 2 26:14

And Katie was like no, we got so many Christmas presents for people that year from that market.

Speaker 1 26:17

I'll send you the TikTok Cause the girl was like, look, I was going in expect like I'm just going to give it an honest review. Like it was in Nashville.

Speaker 2 26:36

There's probably one in everywhere. That's why I thought there that's why I was like, oh, is there one in LA? Because there was one in Carmel and it they had a little ice skating rink and then they had German drinks and food so you could get like mulled and they would have this really big like cheese thing, like hot cheese.

Speaker 1 26:56

Oh yeah, yeah, they would put on like pretzels and just very German. Very German.

Speaker 2 27:00

And like you could buy, you know really expensive Christmas villages and things like that.

Speaker 1 27:07

Speaker 2 29:03

Highest grossing of all time. Here's the thing. I could guess something that's very old, because over time it has longer to make money. Or I could go newer and bigger impact, because we live in an age where we're spending more on movies.

Speaker 1 29:32

We're spending more on money age where we're spending more on money on movies. We're spending more on money. I think highest grossing, highest grossing highest grossing.

Speaker 1 32:30

Nothing in this song makes me think that it's for Thanksgiving. To be honest, I'm going gonna have to sing it out loud but it can't be something that has the word christmas in it right. But this is why, like this song confuses me, because it does feel like it's for christmas, but apparently it was written for thanksgiving. I did fact check that and it's not religious, obviously.

No, I don't know.

Speaker 1 33:00

Speaker 1 35:00

Speaker 1 35:43

Correct, Like the creators of the candy cane.

Speaker 2 35:48

Why is it shaped like that? Yeah, I was going to say that it's shaped like that because it is a um like a staff, not a staff a shepherd's shepherd, yeah, shepherd's crook but what?

Speaker 1 36:00

about the candy to symbolize a shepherd's crook, representing the shepherds who visited baby jesus okay, just to symbolize, just like to hang on.

Speaker 2 36:33

Can you say it again? To save us all from satan's power when we were gone astray well, the only tune I can hear it now is to save us, and all the way that's jingle bells I know, does it not go jingle bells? No, um, one more time to save. Save us all from Satan's hell. And what?

Speaker 1 36:57

To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray. Okay, um to save us all from satan's power where we have gone good old king wenceslas, that's not the same thing to save us all from satan's power when we were gone astray. Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy. That's not the name of the song, though, so get that.

Speaker 2 37:33

I don't know it.

Speaker 1 37:35

It's the very opening line of the song. Little drummer boy.

Speaker 2 37:47

Speaker 2 38:03

Oh God.

Speaker 1 38:04

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 38:06

That's not the same as Wenceslas.

Speaker 1 38:08

No, thought it was.

Speaker 2 38:16

What is the origin of the name boxing day? Interesting question. Boxing day, isn't it just like staying in?

Speaker 1 38:26

okay. So here's the thing about boxing day, right? So as I knew it in canada from my canadian friends, they, as they understood it, it's the day after christmas and it's meant to be like that's when you are boxing things up, you're putting your you're having leftovers, you're returning things oh but the original meaning of it is so. It refers to a tradition of wealthy families giving boxes of gifts, money or food to food, to their servants, tradespeople and tradespeople the day after Christmas.

Speaker 2 38:54

Why couldn't they give it to them on Christmas? They were with their own families. That's why.

Speaker 1 38:57

Because they were probably giving them leftovers and gifts they didn't want. It's based in racism.

Speaker 2 39:03

Yeah, in my mind it was like you know Downton Abbey, and they're like, oh, we got everyone a nice ornament, but I guess you're probably right it wasn't, that was your little.

Speaker 1 39:16

Christmas that was your little Christmas quiz.

Speaker 2 39:17

I think I didn't do. You did pretty good.

Speaker 1 39:19

I did pretty well yeah 25 questions and you got, I would say like maybe 20 of them, pretty solid.

Speaker 2 39:25

Work.

Speaker 1 39:26

Okay, we're going to move right along here. Do you have anything you need to interject right now? I sure don't. We're going to move on to a game we're going to call this.

Speaker 2 39:33

Oh F Mary, Kill F Mary.

Speaker 1 39:34

Kill, and we're going to both participate here. It's Christmas themed.

Speaker 2 39:37

Okay.

Speaker 1 39:38

So what I've done is I've separated it into categories. So there's characters, there's Christmas movies, holiday foods, christmas songs, random festive items, and then I did some more Christmas characters. I thought would be fun. Okay, let's start with some classic Christmas characters.

Speaker 2 39:57

Okay, what is your accent?

Speaker 1 39:58

It's kind of switching between, like New Zealand, Australian and British right.

Speaker 2 40:02

Perfect Okay.

Speaker 1 40:07

Santa Claus Mrs.

Speaker 2 40:08

Claus and the Grinch. Okay, what I'm going to do.

Speaker 1 40:12

Yeah, tell me.

Speaker 2 40:13

Is it, isn't it obvious.

Speaker 1 40:14

I know, yeah, I feel like ours is going to be the same.

Speaker 2 40:17

Yeah, I'm going to F Santa marry, mrs Claus, because I mean I think she'd be way more fun to, like you know, share emotions with. Yeah, for sure and then I'm going to kill the grinch because he well, he does come around in the end, but he lives in filth and I can't do that well, you can move into your house that's true I would.

Speaker 1 40:45

I would f the grinch because that would be fun and wild it it would be fun and wild. And then I would kill Mrs Claus. But it's not because she's a woman, it's because Santa gives gifts.

Speaker 2 40:58

Right, okay, okay, those were not the same.

Speaker 1 41:02

No, I really thought we were going to be in line there Frosty the Snowman, rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Jack Frost.

Speaker 2 41:10

I don't know much about Jack. What Tell me about him?

Speaker 1 41:15

He is the elusive frost on our windows at wintertime.

Speaker 2 41:20

For sure. Okay, one more time. Frosty, rudolph and Jack Frost. Rudolph and Jack Frost.

Speaker 1 41:27

Have you seen the movie Jack Frost?

Speaker 2 41:28

by the way, I don't think so. That's why I'm confused.

Speaker 1 41:31

It's the movie about the guy. He dies in a car accident and then he comes back as a snowman and then that is so sad Friends, his son, I might've seen it.

Speaker 2 41:37

Now that you say that, that rings a bell Also.

Speaker 1 41:40

Jack Frost is in the Santa Claus three and then, um, he's like edgy and cool and that's not what I had in my mind who were you picturing? Like probably the heat miser no, I picture like a really smooth, like like hades from hercules oh, is that your like?

Speaker 2 42:10

um hear me out. Hades yeah, that would be, a good one okay I'm gonna say I'm gonna marry rudolph, sweet boy and you get to ride a reindeer that flies around yeah, he can take me anywhere, sweet boy, and he is never gonna hurt. You know, do me wrong, I feel. I feel like the thing with Frosty is that he's going to melt.

Speaker 1 42:37

Right.

Speaker 2 42:38

Away and then I'll be lonely. So I think I have to kill him.

Speaker 1 42:42

Okay.

Speaker 2 42:43

And even though I don't know much about Jack. Um, yeah, we'll see what happens. Okay, I like that what's yours?

Speaker 1 42:50

I would just flip Jack and Frosty. I would kill Jack.

Speaker 2 42:53

Okay, because, frosty, you made a case for him being hot and then you're just going to kill him.

Speaker 1 42:56

Yeah, yeah, because like I don't know, I also feel like I would. I would get hurt Emotion. I can create my own opening Ew Move on. I hate that, but I would also marry Rudolph.

Speaker 2 43:12

Okay.

Speaker 1 43:12

Okay, ready Elf on a shelf. Okay, krampus. Okay, and Buddy the elf.

Speaker 2 43:18

Speaker 2 43:34

What was the first one? Elf on a shelf and buddy the elf. Well, one of them is like a person and one of them is not. And, honestly, elf on the shelf is like creepy like. He just like is everywhere at night like getting into.

Speaker 1 43:45

No, no, you don't know the story elf on the shelf.

Speaker 2 43:48

You don't know the story. Isn't he getting into shenanigans every night and ruining everything?

Speaker 1 43:52

uh, this is really funny that we're having this conversation, because I talked to my sister for hours over the last two days learning about elf on the shelf, because it is a tradition they uphold in their house okay, tell me about it the what you're, the assumptions you're making, are the same things I had okay, she had me watch the elf on the shelf movie, so I had context there's a movie there's four oh my gosh okay it was created like I want to say, like we were like 18 yeah by a mom, by a woman who created this tradition out of nowhere for her children okay, then when her daughters got older.

Speaker 1 44:26

No earlier than that, in 2008. Her daughters are older. They're like mom. We should write a book about this. They write a book called elf on the shelf okay the book takes off and then they create the elf on the shelf, and so when you buy an elf on a shelf as part of it comes with the book and as part of the story.

Speaker 1 44:43

It's like the magic the elf comes to life and its magic is when you name it okay, and. And then every day. So there's all these rules. Like you're not, children are not allowed to touch the elf, you can't touch it. If you touch it, it's magic, goes away. It's even in the movie.

Speaker 2 44:58

Oh my gosh.

Speaker 1 45:00

Every night the elf flies back to the North pole and reports on how the behavior of the kids is to Santa. I did know that the whole like where it's land where he it because there's girls too. Okay, my sister's is a girl. Its name is chippy okay where she lands is randomized and people just run with it. But it wasn't. It's not meant to be like mischief, it's just like oh, chippy got into the cereal bowl is what Chippy got stuck in the Christmas tree.

Speaker 2 45:32

Classic Chippy, but once daylight hits, they freeze. It's a toy story, yeah.

Speaker 1 45:36

So anyway.

Speaker 2 45:37

Okay, the mischief was created by people. Yeah, okay, that's cuter.

Speaker 1 45:41

Yeah.

Speaker 2 45:42

I still feel weird about it. So unfortunately he's got to go.

Speaker 1 45:45

So you're going to kill that what?

Speaker 2 45:47

was the second option.

Speaker 1 45:47

Speaker 1 45:51

I say you marry buddy, you do Krampus and you elf, you off the elf.

Speaker 2 45:56

I can get down with that because even though Krampus is evil and scary, right Like maybe it could be fun.

Speaker 1 46:01

Yeah, exactly, and if you know you're not going to die from it, he's just his way.

Speaker 1 50:20

Not yet.

Speaker 2 50:22

They might have. I'm only on season six, oh okay, I'm watching it Okay. I'm watching it Okay. Figgy pudding is a medieval Christmas dish, usually sweet or savory cakes containing honey, fruits and nuts, and later times, rum or other distilled alcohol was often added to enrich the fruitiness of the flavor.

Speaker 1 50:42

I feel like it's like a moist fruit cake. Yeah so they have made pudding on the great British baking show.

Speaker 2 50:50

They have also made a different pudding with something in it that I think is similar. I think they steam it because that is how they used to cook back in, you know the very old times when they didn't have an oven, if you will.

Speaker 2 51:04

They had like just a fire and they would put it in some sort of water bath, in a container, and then it would steam. So I think that's how they make it. That's with no context. I am not reading that here, but I believe, and if you are someone who knows that, validate me please validate.

Speaker 1 51:23

please share the figgy pudding yeah.

We've completed our f marry kill holiday edition okay, speaking of holidays, I don't know how long we're going. Right now it's an hour. We're at an hour. Okay, just tell me one family Christmas tradition that you loved growing up.

Speaker 1 1:00:57

So when I was a little boy growing up in Northeastern Indiana I, you don't know this cause you don't have headphones on, but this sounds immaculate right now, okay, so when I was growing up in, am I from north, yeah, northeast, yeah, okay, let me get back into it, journaling my jonathan bailey. So when I was growing up in the northeast indiana, my favorite, actually one of my favorite holiday traditions growing up wasn't actually anything that we did specifically. I mean, the holiday is filled with tradition, right, but my probably my favorite one that sticks out the most and something I think about often and quite fondly is when the day after christmas and we would uh, load up the car, we would go up to peacock, michigan. We would spend the week between Christmas and New Year up there snowmobiling and sledding and building snowmen. Uh, and it has really just that is, uh, some some of my most fond memories are from those weeks between Christmas and New Year's.

Speaker 2 1:01:56

Yeah, Did you have to whisper that?

Speaker 1 1:01:58

You have no idea how good that sounded, okay.

Speaker 2 1:02:01

I can't wait to edit it yeah.

Speaker 1 1:02:03

You're going to, it's going to tickle something on you.

Speaker 2 1:02:06

Um, I, christmas Eve, yeah, uh, pajamas. You always got Christmas Eve pajamas.

Speaker 1 1:02:12

Cute.

Speaker 2 1:02:14

So that's something I love and something I want to continue on.

Speaker 1 1:02:17

Yeah.

Speaker 2 1:02:19

And that's it Cause I said one you did say one.

Speaker 1 1:02:26

I love that memory. Yeah, I love our memory.

Speaker 2 1:02:28

Okay, do you want me to tell you the birthday's on Christmas, adam? Do you want to say anything else about Christmas before we go? This is like.

Speaker 1 1:02:34

Speaker 2 1:02:36

Yeah, so we are taking a break after Wait right.

Speaker 1 1:02:40

Speaker 2 1:02:41

Yes, there's one more episode before the end of the year, sorry, so scratch that, hold on. Yes, there is the 27th or something, the 20, the 30th, the 30th, okay, so we do have one more episode, we'll do our end of year recap in that one, sorry. Yes.

Speaker 1 1:02:57

Nothing else about Christmas other than I hope everyone has a great week, and you know. You know, whether you're like I have Christmases look different for everyone. So whatever it is for you this year, just give yourself grace and compassion if it doesn't look like how you thought it would look, because, honestly, that was my Christmas the last three years. So and this year.

Speaker 2 1:03:15

Whoever you are celebrating with, cherish it. Have a nice time. If you are alone, know that you will not always be alone, and just have a nice time by yourself. Some self reflection. Watch a nice christmas movie have a or not, oh I just like, don't have pressure on it no, no, I'm just saying like, create a cozy atmosphere for yourself, whatever that means, and you uh will.

Speaker 1 1:03:45

Yeah, guys have a merry time last year I was a scrooge, allison knows I put my christmas tree up and took it down in two days yeah and then I just didn't want to do anything on christmas day.
