And on today's show, Christmas lights are a lot older than we thought. Hey, hey, Tom. Maybe you wanna turn those off, bud? Josh is a good gift wrapper. You can do 3 at once.
Hey. Three gifts at once. I mean, not at the same time. I'd have to have more arms. I prepare them in different stages as I wrap.
That's all. Okay. Unfortunately, you cannot visit the cottage from the holiday. Mhmm. Is it impolite to show up at a party without a shareable?
I don't think so if you were told not to bring something. Our son had oral surgery, and I can't unsee it. It was awful. Here's a bunny. Maybe you don't to keep doing the old traditions anymore.
Yeah. Nobody's holding you to it. You can do whatever you want. Do what you want. We played naughty or nice.
Mhmm. The Bluey movie has been announced. I'm super stoked. Dunder and Blitzem. Yeah.
That there that's a cool name. It is a cool name. I like Dunder and Blitzem. Wicked part 2 has a new name. I'm not excited about it.
Josh has a strong opinion about what is required to be called a Christmas movie. You're gonna hear my strong opinions will hear it. Today. I've got many strong opinions today. A cookie and a nap.
And what movie is associated with your zodiac sign? Something with a fish in it, probably, if I had to guess. Oh, and, hey, did you know Chantel's a Taurus? I am a Taurus. Yeah.

Good morning. Oh, hello. Did you bake cookies today or have plans to bake cookies today? I just don't have time to do that. You don't?
No. Not today? Not today. Alright. It is baked cookies day, so you're out the gate strong.
I always am. I always am on the hop of things. I didn't mean this morning. Like, you have the whole day. No time today.
No. No. To bake a cookie. No. Probably on Friday.
Okay. Make good on it. Sunday. Bake good on it. Hey.
You might say. I might not say. Alright. Snowflake appreciation day Uh-huh. And is answered the telephone like buddy the elf day.
Please don't. No. Do your best impression of answering the phone like Buddy the Elf. Didn't he just answer the phone? I don't remember what he did.
That's why I asked you to do it. Well, I'm trying to remember who he answered the phone, and talked to. Probably somebody at his dad's work. He's just happy. So he just answers the phone.
He goes, hi. This is Buddy. Good job. So you just got that extra energy. And then you could throw in some of the lines.
Right? Like, does somebody need a hug? You're a, what's the line? Cotton headed ninny muggins. Oh, there you go.
That's what it is. I'm looking at a picture of them. I had to think of it. You're an angry elf, he said to Peter Dinklage. He did say that.
Yeah. Anyway Alright. There's that. Those are the 3 days today that we're celebrating? Bake a cookie?
Snowflake appreciation. Flake appreciation. Flake appreciation. Snowflakes. And Oh, I got it.
Answer the telephone like, buddy the elf. It is world Arabic language day. It is roast suckling pig day. No. Thanks.
It is international migrants day as well. There's a there's some stuff in here. It's Christmas bird count week, all this week. Christmas. What does that mean?
So there are winter birds, which have not been visiting, and I think it's because we have a cranky dog. We had a cranky dog a couple years ago. The cranky dog we had a couple years ago didn't care about the birds. No. She didn't.
The current cranky dog does a lot. So I don't know if they're like, no. You also put lights on the tree that they like to stay in the They could still stand on it. But do they like it? And warm themselves by the non hot LED.
I was gonna say, it's not warm? I don't know. But I don't know. They used to come during the day. We're not home during the day.
I don't know. Our winter birds, well, I miss them. But you're right. The food is just they're untouched. Yep.
Because our dog hates birds. 13th was Taylor's birthday. Yeah. Today's Billie Eilish's birthday. Oh.
How about that? How old is she? Yep. 2023? 23.
She's born in 2001. So, yeah, 23. What a baby. I know. Billie Eilish is 23.
She's already done I know. More talent than I ever have. She has done more talent. More talent. You get it.
I do get it. I know. I know. It's it's a wild time, these kids, with all their success and talent. Crazy kids.
Yeah. Well, good morning. It is, officially 1 week until Christmas. Yes. It is.
Oh, vada. Do you know who invented the electric Christmas lights? I couldn't tell you. No. Wanna take a guess?
The electric Christmas lights. Yes. That was so they were invented probably in the thirties or forties? No. Earlier?
Yes. Oh, really? Yes. I guess maybe I don't I couldn't tell you. Invented by Thomas Edison.
Wow. That surprises me, but go on. And his business associate, Edward Johnson K. Edison created the first strand of electric lights, and then he hung them outside his laboratory in New Jersey during the holidays in 18 80. Wow.
Alright. So I guess that that now I he didn't have colored lights and stuff. He just had a string of light bulbs. Correct. Okay.
So then 2 years later, he hand wired 80 red, white, and blue light bulbs Okay. And strung them together around a tree in front of a window to the street. Uh-huh. It was powered by a generator, but it wasn't until 1903 that General Electric began to 1903. Put together preassembled kits of Christmas lights Yeah.
For the Interesting. Mass consumers. Right. And they, you know, were probably, like, expensive for 1. I don't know.
And for 2, they probably got real hot. Probably. And that they were probably that there were very unsafe. Big fire hazards, with a lot of what was going on. And then somebody along the way went, what if I put water in there and make it bubble?
Because those that would be neat. I've never seen those lights in real life. You've talked about those before. Are cool. I'll see if I can find a video of it.
Still make them? Well, they started making a newer version that doesn't, use the heat from the bulb to make them bubble. Uh-huh. So they're a little bit, safer. I was gonna say, how was that safe?
That seems like it whose idea was that? That seems terrifying. Yeah. I'll see if I can find a a video of them because they're really cool. Yeah.
I've got a video for you. I'll show you. Yeah. I can't wait to see you. Yeah.
They they would be cool to have something like that on the tree because, I mean, it's got such a vintage Nostalgic. Nostalgic look to it. Well, it's not nostalgic for me because we didn't have those, but the vintage look is kinda cool. Yeah. No.
We didn't have them on the tree either. I just know about them, and I think they're cool. So the first colored lights that Thomas Edison had were powered by a generator. Yeah. I wonder how noisy that was in 1903.
That kept the neighbors up. But if all of the neighbors had their generators It was the tractor. Yeah. Good grief. Maybe, maybe let's take it down a notch, Tom.
Some of us are trying to catch some z's, buddy. No. I need my Christmas lights. Could you turn them off maybe a 10? No.
It's on all night. Alright, Tom. Cool lights, buddy. You helped me wrap some presents last night. I think you wrapped double the amount of presents that I wrapped in the amount of time that we had.
Well, keep up. I couldn't. Why are you going so slow? 3 at a time. I was trying to copy your method, and I I couldn't keep up with you.
You're a really good holiday rapper. Well I knew you were gonna do that. I knew it. I knew it. I knew it.
Thank you. You're welcome. It's, something I've been doing for a long time. So have I. Yeah.
Does it make me good at it? I just I'm fine. How I'm not great. The wrapping paper that I had, the tube is the longest tube of wrapping paper I think I've seen in a minute. Why?
It's incredibly long. It wasn't that long. It's not a standard, like, 3 foot tube. That thing is an extra foot. It's like 4 feet.
It's a big tube. It's a tall one. So I laid it out on the table, and I even noticed that. And I said to myself, well, this is a lot of paper, so I should find 3 sort of equally sized gifts, and I'll I'll put the biggest of the 3 in the center. And then I'll just fold the paper over to where I need it, and I'll cut there.
And then I'll have enough for all 3 of these. And I split it down the you know, separated the middle present out, wrapped it, did the 2 end ones, and then I was like, okay. Next. So it just in my head, that made sense. It was good.
I saw I saw you do that, and and I tried to do it. And I went well, 1, I didn't have enough table space. 2, I went Because I was using more than half the table with that 4 foot long tube. I couldn't do it. I had to do my presents individually.
And you had very minimal waste. Yeah. I have a lot of waste. I had, like, 2 tiny little strips. Ah, you wasted at wrapping.
Good job. Well, thanks. Let's not. We can make the joke twice. Can we?
Oh, we did. You did. Don't wrap me up in that. Hey. Let's go.
You threw a zinger in there. Look at you. I'm gonna tell you about, a plumber who I read this story. Did you? This is a cool little story.
This plumber was working recently at an elementary school. This was in Virginia, And he found a metal lunchbox. It had, the orange, cartoon cat Heathcliff Yeah. On the outside, which is kinda cool. And inside, there was a thermos, and there was a tag with the student's name.
Did you do you know the student's name? No. Tracy Drain. No way. Found by a plumber.
I love it. It appears that Tracy was in missus Curry's class in room 30. So this lunchbox got posted, and went wild on social media, and Tracy Drain learned that her lunchbox that she had lost in the 4th grade Oh. Had been found. Tracy said, I think it's amazing.
It's very interesting to be able to see it as far as I remember it, but it's I I've got it's got my mom's handwriting on the tag, which she's like, I will cherish that forever. That's amazing. And she's been reunited with her long lost lunchbox. They are back together, which is pretty cool. I don't know if I lost any anything in the 4th grade.
If they were like, hey. We found this thing, and it's got your name on it. Is this yours? I'm going, oh, did I have a Heathcliff? Right.
Did you remember what you had? I don't even know. Where did the plumber find it? It does not say exactly where he found it. Was there food inside?
I wondered that too. That was a big question I had. He said there was a thermos Yeah. Like, it could've been opened up the thermos. It smelled it.
I don't know. Right. But it's a it's a cool lunchbox. I was trying to see if it says anywhere. He was working, you know, found throwback on it.
It just says he found the lunchbox. It doesn't say where he found the lunchbox. But he's a plumber, so he was probably in some cabinets or under some cupboards somewhere. Maybe it had fallen, you know, behind something. I don't know.
Maybe, the teacher, maybe, missus Curry was hanging on to some school lunches, you know, kids brought in. Like She's just smacking on kids' lunches. 30 lunches. Your mom makes the best turkey sandwiches. She's like, I know where the good baloney comes from.
Ew. But there is no good baloney. Yeah. There is. Missus Drain, she's got the good baloney.
Gross. Hey, missus Drain. We're here for baloney sandwiches. Anyway, it's good news to get you going. Good morning.
So you've seen the holiday with, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jude Law and Jack Black. I haven't seen it. I saw some of it as you were watching it, and I was unimpressed by the acting in that movie. And it it, seemed like it never ended, and you said that's because, you had to keep stopping I had to keep stopping. And go back and play.
You kept getting interrupted. But you turned it on, and, I was in another room, and I heard, Cameron Diaz. I heard her voice. Oh, it is Cameron Diaz, not Gwyneth Paltrow. Yeah.
And I heard the lines being delivered, and I thought, is is she trying to sound like that? Like, it it sounds not fluid. The speech is really strange, and it sounded like they were trying to, sort of Jane Austen pride and prejudice this thing is what it sounded like from another room. I don't know. So this is a lot of people's really like, a lot of people love this movie.
So I'm about to say something that might make you upset. And so turn it down if you don't wanna hear it. They they're the movie is about 2 women, 1 in England, 1 in America. K. And they're both facing heartbreak and sadness, so they swap houses for the holiday.
Oh, okay. So Cameron Diaz from LA goes to Surrey. Kate Winslet from Surrey goes to LA. Got it. Okay.
The house, the little cottage in Surrey Mhmm. Is so charming and quaint and cute. And Jude Law, who is in the movie, said it wasn't real. That's not real. Not a real it was a set.
The director could not find a house that she wanted, so she rented a field, drew her design, and had someone build it. Now a set. Only the exterior of the house was constructed. Correct. And the inside was filmed on a set.
It was just a set. And he said, if you watch it, every time he walks in the door, they cut so that they can shoot from the interior. There's no, panning through the door, follow shots, or any of that stuff. That's funny. Now I wanna watch it again so I can see all those scenes.
That's funny. If you've listened, you were like, well, I wanna hear what she has to say. I'm sorry. I'm sorry to tell you that that house doesn't exist. You you love the little cottage?
Beautiful. It's a sweet, charming little cottage, and the inside is adorable. It's lovely. But it's fake place. Very sad.
No. You could build that place for real if you want. You could. You could decorate your home like that if you want. You could.
You absolutely could. What I wanna know is if they build she rents a field, she builds the exterior of this house, what happens when they're done filming? Does the Do they tear it down? Shell of the house still exist, or do they just rip the whole thing down? Oh, they'd probably just tear it down.
What a waste. Yeah. I wonder how much it costs to rent a field and build an exterior of a house on it. More more than $5, I'll bet. Or I wonder I wonder if they just build maybe they don't build a shell, but they just build the front Facade.
Yeah. It's possible. If you don't need the sides and the back. Yeah. You you wouldn't.
They never filmed anything, around the house, any in the backyard, the back garden? I don't think so. I think it was all inside the house. Or up front? Yeah.
It makes sense. Times or something. Yeah. Interesting. Interesting.
I'm sorry to break some hearts. Because the cottage is a great cottage doesn't Yeah. Sorry. Sorry, everybody. I like conducting those.
Do you? Yeah. I saw you. You had your arms waving. You had your eyes closed.
You were really I'm pretty good at conducting. You were conducting the Trans Siberian Orchestra just now. I mean, it's not for everyone. But it is for you. Some of us just have the gift.
Wow. Congratulations Thank you. On the gift. Okay. Here's the scenario.
Sure. You get invited to a party Okay. And you say, would you like me to bring anything? K. And your host says, no.
Thanks. We're all set. Just bring yourself. Awesome. What do you bring?
I show up with myself. With yourself? I offered You don't bring anything. Offered, and I was told not to bring anything. Just show up.
So I'm gonna follow instructions. Oh, no. Is that a bad thing? I don't know. I don't think it is.
I think depending on the host, I think the host, absolutely, if she says, I've got it set, don't worry about it. Here's the There might be some hosts that are like, I'm afraid to tell you to bring something. So they might Probably, there's there's 2 2 ways this plays out. I mean, they're gonna ask ahead, and they're gonna go, hey. You know, we're doing this.
If you wanna bring a side, cool. And I'll, okay, I'll bring a side. If you wanna bring dessert, awesome. Or, hey. You know what?
Here's what we're having as a meal. Anything you wanna bring is cool. Or if they're just gonna say, you know what? Whatever you're comfortable with. Cool.
I'll figure something out. Those are a couple of scenarios. Or they're gonna say, you know what? We got everything. We're all good.
Maybe bring, something to drink, you know, or whatever. Like, if you want a special soda or you want something to drink, whatever. We just have water and milk. So okay. Okay.
Great. Like, that's I'll have some milk, please. Yeah. You know? Like, that's happened before where they're like, you know, whatever.
I don't like to come empty handed even when the host says don't bring anything. I it just feels now that's to say I'll stop at the store and get something. I'm not gonna make something. I can't be bothered to put an effort. That I can't be bothered.
It's just sometimes I just don't have a lot of time, or I've forgotten and I go, ah, crud. I was supposed to be. This party. I had to stop at the store. Okay.
So the experts are saying don't bring any bring anything that creates more work for your host. For example, if you're bringing something that has to be heated up Okay. And she has to stop or maybe pull something out of her oven Okay. Or his oven to heat your thing up, that's gonna be a problem. K.
Or if you're bringing flowers and you're like, oh, I brought flowers. Now she has to stop and find a vase and put the flowers in a vase. So don't bring anything that creates more work for the host. Also, avoid bringing gifts that the host won't be able to use. Alright.
Maybe a decoration or something. I'm trying to think of something else that they that you can bring. Here's a Okay. Here's a new dog. We have a party.
No. Don't do that. We have a party tomorrow. We have to decide what to bring. We were asked to bring something, which I'm happy to do.
I just don't know what to do. I did see a really cute I found my trifle bowl that I thought was missing, and I saw a really cute idea for the use of a trifle bowl. Let's do it. Did I show you that? No.
I've seen your trifle bowl. No. I I've seen that. I'm I'm aware of it. Did you see the thing that you put inside the trifle bowl?
I've seen a a layered delicious dessert, but I I don't think I've seen the one you saw. It's not a dessert. Oh, is it meat? That's the kicker. Taco meat?
Meats meat free. Oh, yeah. Is it the thing you showed me? Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah. You did show me that. I don't remember what it's called, but you did show me a thing. I don't wanna say it because I don't I want I don't wanna give away the surprise. Oh, okay.
And, also, if I say what I'm bringing Then you're obligated to it. Thing, and then she's like, where's the trifle bowl? Well, you've said that already. So the trifle bowl is expected. Oh, no.
Not filled with dessert, though, which is disappointing. Oh, well, maybe I'll get another trifle bowl. I'll fill 1 with the dessert and one with the nondessert. Maybe. Or maybe you'll just swing by the store on the way and buy something.
No. I'm gonna do something this year. Alright. Our poor son, has a tooth that he's had problems with his teeth ever since he was little when he was just a boy. Just a boy.
A boy. He had to have some of his baby teeth pulled out because they just wouldn't fall out on their own. He's got slow moving teeth. To help, like, forever for some of his adult teeth to grow in, and we had to wait to put braces on him so that all of his adult teeth could grow in. And he's been in braces for about 2 years.
And long time. It is a long time. And the orthodontist has said, listen. We we cannot this one canine refuses to come down, and what we've discovered is that that canine has bonded to a bone. Yeah.
So you're gonna have to go see a surgeon for it. So that was yesterday's fun. Yesterday's fun. And I asked if I could go into the room because I I'd like to witness some of that stuff. Well, I like to be there for my kids, but also Yeah.
You're fascinated by the human body. By some of that stuff. Yeah. And so then the surgeon says to me, hey. Would you like to come take a look?
And I go, yes. Yes. I would. And I go and look, and I go, never mind. Never mind.
Never mind. I Did you need to look at something else? Like, do you have a kitten that I can I look at a kitten now? If it was in a movie, I would have tripped over the table of surgical tools on my way running away. I was like, I gotta go.
I gotta get out of here. You explained it to me what you saw, and I said, no. No. Stop talking about it. I'm not into it.
And you said, yeah. You would not have made it. And I went, no. That's not it. I am not a fan.
I can handle a lot of stuff. I think I have a pretty strong tolerance for stuff like that, but even I saw that. I'm not even gonna say it other way because people will be awful. And I don't like mouths. I just went Yeah.
I don't I don't care for mouths. I think they're gross. I don't like teeth and mouths. And, Like, I'm glad people have them and can use them, and I use mine every day, clearly. Clearly.
But You won't stop yapping. Oh, man. The inside of a mouth is gross. And I, I feel so bad for our son because that had to have hurt. He Yeah.
Is on a lot of pain medication and slept most of the day yesterday. He's only allowed to, you know, soup, which he hates. He hates soup. But I'm like, potatoes, I guess. Cottage cheese.
You, what was I gonna say? Some of the tools that doctor used too, they looked they were intense. Yeah. You said it looked like a medieval, devices and tools and stuff. Yeah.
Wheeled that table over to where they could work, and I went, oh, here we go. Ugh. One of the tools, like like a, flat head screwdriver? No. Stop.
Stop. No. Thank you. It's pretty pretty brutal. Just knock me out.
Like, I don't need to be awake for any of that. No. They didn't I thought they were gonna give him They just did nightmares. They just numbed him. He's a trooper, man.
No. Thank you very much. Nope. No. We got it.
Not for me. We got it. Alright. Good morning. Good morning.
You saw this thing, earlier that a bunch of people are, like, ditching, all of the regular traditions. Like? Like Christmas dinner. And we've been talking about this. Yeah.
And you know what they're replacing it with? What? Guess. Guess what they're replacing it with. Spaghetti.
No. What? They're replacing it instead of having a big dinner. They're replacing it with an indulgent Christmas breakfast. Oh, gosh.
I know. That's what you said. No. Not for dinner. They're replacing instead of saying, everybody come over for dinner, they're going, let's have a big indulgent Christmas breakfast Okay.
On Christmas morning Okay. Instead. Which is what you grew up doing. Yeah. For sure.
Grandma would host a breakfast for everybody. Big time. Yeah. So we would we would do our Christmas morning, and then everybody would gather. It's kind of a brunch.
Yeah. A big a big brunch at my grandma's house. Yes. That was, that was a thing that happened. But instead of doing the big Christmas dinner, they're doing a big indulgent breakfast.
And I like the idea because you love breakfast. I love breakfast. And I don't mind making breakfast, and I could make a big indulgent breakfast. Well, here's the problem, though, because, see, and I kinda like this idea because you can the let me go back. The problem is that if you wake up early, if you've got little kids Sure.
And you wake up at, you know Yeah. 5 in the morning Right. And then you have to make your tradition is to make a big indulgent breakfast, then you've gotta get breakfast started. Nah. But You don't have to defrost a turkey or ham.
I do like sometimes you can prep breakfast stuff the night before, and then you can just But breakfast also doesn't take a long time to make. Like, I can whip out some burritos. I I can do pancakes. I can do waffles. I can do, I can do scones.
I can do homemade muffins. Spread. That's what I'm saying. You can make a big you know, we could call it a breakfast charcuterie. Yeah.
We could. It's not a charcuterie. It's a bunch of breakfast food. It's not a charcuterie. And then get this part.
K. Once you do your presents, you have your indulgent breakfast, then guess what? What? You can take a nap. That's true.
You can take a I ate too much breakfast Christmas nap. I like it. I love it. I like it. Couple things that people are doing, friends only Christmas.
Uh-huh. Like, that's it. We're only buying for our friends. Friends only. Okay.
I don't know how that works. I don't know how that works. Some people are, taking a vacation and just going, forget it. We're just we're going on vacation instead. I like that.
That's an option. A lot of people are spending all day in pajamas rather than getting dressed up. We've done that before. That's nice. Yep.
Some, are going on kind of a quiet personal retreat. They're like, hey. I'm just gonna I'm doing a a better me Christmas. Can I, as a mom, do that while you're napping? I don't know.
I'm I'm on control of you. This one is pretty cool. Some people have opted to spend the day volunteering at a local charity or a food bank or a shelter, which I think is really cool. Some people are giving and receiving DIY gifts only Oh. Which is kind of interesting.
And I kinda like this. I think this is kind of a fun thing that we could introduce as a tradition. Some people are just swapping gifts instead and doing, handwritten letters of gratitude. And I think, that's kind of a cool thing you could do, with your family or your friends or whatever. Just, you know, letters of gratitude, kind of swap or whatever would be kind of fun.
I think that's kind of a cool thing. Let people kinda know where they're at in your life. I think that's special. So, anyway, a lot of people kinda just breaking it up. They're getting rid of the old, the old things and in with the new.
Doing a bunch of new stuff. Yeah. So Christmas breakfast. And and it's a huge, huge thing for pizza. Lot of people doing pizza on Christmas instead.
I blame Home Alone. You get you you know, because of the cheese you get it. I don't get I don't understand why. No. It doesn't matter.
Why did they why? Because Kevin. Kevin. Who's Kevin? We're gonna play a game, Josh.
Are you ready? Alright. What's the game? We we have an audience. We have an audience.
I know. A couple of people in here as well. So Here. We'll turn on the mic so they can interact. You're you're part of it now.
Part of it. Don't be nervous. I'm only judging I know. Extremely. We have our our operations manager, Jade, is here.
We've got Daniel in the room as well, one of our sales reps. Delivering Christmas presents. I know. Yeah. It's, it's it's a lot of fun.
You're already on the nice place. If this if this game isn't good, I'm gonna take my Christmas present back. I know. You should probably leave. No.
Don't don't throw him to leave. What's happening here? It's not gonna be that fun. Alright. The naughty or nice list.
Ready? The naughty or nice list? Yes. I have no idea how this game works. What am I supposed to do?

The whole year? Yep. Bluey. Ready to go. Alright.
I I like where your head's at. Keep keep working toward the future. Thank you. I just found out something I think is kinda fascinating. What?
Santa's reindeer originally had different names. What? Name them. Okay. Dasher.
You know Dasher and Dander. Dancer. Dasher, Dancer. Prancer and Dixon. Comic Cupid.
Comic Cupid. Donder Blitzen. Right. And then Rudolph. Yeah.
Right? Yes. So there is an a poem from 18/23. It's called a visit from Saint Nicholas, and it introduced the world to Santa's reindeer. Donner and Blitsen or Donder were called Dunder.
Dunder. Dunder Mifflin? Like Dunder Mifflin. Dunder and Blixem. Blixem?
Yeah. They are the Dutch words for thunder and lightning. Oh, really? Yeah. That's kind of cool.
Blixem. Oh. Mhmm. That sounds fierce. It kinda does.
I kinda like that. So I kinda want I like look. Donner and Blitzen are cute. What are those Dunder and Blixen. Those guys mean business.
What's the Dunder? Dunder and Blixen. Okay. Donner, Blitzen. Let's see.
Donner. What are you looking up? Well, I wanna know Donner also means thunder. In what? German.
Okay. And then so that's that's safe. That sounds German too. And I'll bet you I'll bet you anything. That we It is.
We in, American traditions have borrowed that straight from Germany. It is lightning. Yeah. Look at what we learned today. We learned that the names translate the same.
Here's what'd be interesting is if all of those names translated to something, and, and we had an, an English American version where we called them thunder and lightning. Yeah. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. And then, you know, comet, that's already a thing.
Well, Dasher is, one that dashes, so it's like a fast. Right? It's like speed. Dasher, dancer Yeah. Prancer.
Prancer. They are they were like, oh, Dancer and Prancer. They're twins. Comet is like a comet. Yeah.
Yeah. So that's And Cupid is like it's a weird one, but okay. We'll take it. But then all out of nowhere, they're like, Donner, blitzing. And those ones are Thunder.
Lightning. Lightning. Thunder. Yeah. Very, very frightening.
Me, Galileo. Don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
It's a Queen reference. Alright. You got it. You get it. Okay.
This is kind of old news. This happened on Monday, but I just found out about it. So it's news to me. And if you've already heard about it and you didn't tell me, that is rude. Okay.
What is that? What is this? I'm always late to the party anyway, so it's fine. Wicked part 2 Yeah. Just got a brand new title.
Oh, I didn't know that. It's not called Wicked Part 2? No. Wicked for Good. Oh, interesting.
Interesting. No. As our friends say. Really. Really.
Really. Really. They're not gonna call it wicked part 2? They're gonna call it wicked for good. I don't think I like that.
Why? I love it. Because the I no. I get it, and I like it, and I understand, but I don't like it for continuity sake. You called Wicked part 1 part 1.
Your opening title sequence says Wicked part 1. Okay. You for the sake of continuity, you you already made your choice. You gotta stick with it. You can't go changing it in the middle.
Okay. Imagine if Star Wars came out, and they were like, this is episode 4, a new hope. And then they were like, this is episode 5, and then they did episode 6. And then they just said, this is part 4. Part like, they just started jumping around.
They were like, forget about all the episode things. We're just gonna call this one Clones. You can't. I like Star War. I wish they would have called it Star War.
There. That. Exactly. You can't. You gotta stick with continuity.
I'm depressed about that. You really are. I that's That matters not to me. That is a strange choice. And as someone who, deals a lot with brand recognition and consistency is very, very important, that's broken.
That means a lot to you. Don't like that. Oh. I I like it by itself. Fine.
Here's what they should do. Here's what they should do. What? Release part 2 as part 2, and then take the 2 of them and put them together in a director's cut that is all of them in 1 6 hour sitting and call it Wicked For Good. But you can't I don't think you could you couldn't call part 1 for good.
No. It'd be the whole it'd be the whole thing. I get what you're saying. I can't believe you're saying. Not trying to throw in any spoilers from a book that came out decades ago and has been on Broadway for part of the book.
Decades. And my point is this is not new material. It's new to a lot of people. But Well, you should get on the horn. No one cares my opinion.
You're right. They've done what they've done. I really don't not go bad. They just stay with part 2. Nothing is out.
I haven't seen a poster. They Who said it? Announced it on their official Wicked Instagram. That's a bad decision. They shouldn't have done that.
Go back. Take it back. I like it. I get it. I like it.
I understand. It's cute, but it's inconsistent, and I don't like I don't care for that. I was trying to think of song lyric, but I can't even think of one that fits. It's fine. It's fine.
I'll I'll be fine. I'll just be the guy. Changed. I'll stop. Stop it.
For the better. Stop it. Let's talk about, some what do I wanna call them? Some Christmas movies that aren't necessarily typical Christmas movies. Okay.
Atypical Christmas movies. Okay. So, like, one for instance that I like is Gremlins. Not a Christmas movie. I consider that a Christmas movie.
Why? Because it's set in Christmas time. Okay. So here's the thing about me, and we've talked about this last year too. Oh, dear.
Yeah. But the reason that I that I say, movies like Die Hard, movies like, Gremlins are not Christmas movies, and it's very controversial, this opinion It is. Is because I feel like it has to have Christmas as a central thread. It can't just happen during Christmas. Okay.
I'll give you an example. There's a new movie I just watched on Netflix. It's called Carry On. Really cool movie. It's got Jason Bateman on.
I was awake one night. You watched a Jason Bateman movie without me? I did. It's a new action movie. I know.
It's a new action movie, with Bateman and, anyway, it's it was a really cool movie. Takes place on Christmas Eve. So there's a bunch of people going, like, this is a great Christmas movie. I love it. It's a heist movie.
It has not like, Christmas just happens to be happening around the movie. I consider those Christmas movies. I do not. Little Women, there's some Christmas in there. I watch that every Christmas.
I like it. Okay. That's different though too because no. Listen. Your logic makes zero sense.
Because you've built a tradition around it. People marathon the Harry Potter movies because the first one has a Christmas break. They don't have Christmas in them. Most of them. Some of them.
Just the first one, because Harry stays at the school. But that's really it. But what I'm what I'm saying is you build Christmas into a thread of the movie. It's about Christmas. Miracle on 34th Street is about Christmas.
Yeah. Right? Okay. But we were talking about serendipity the other day. Right.
Happens at Christmas, but involves Christmas as well. So that's different than Christmas just happens to be happening at the same time, buildings being destroyed. You have a lot of feelings today. I do. I do have some opinions.
You've you've awoken opinions in me today. I did. Sorry, everybody. Everybody just back away slowly. It'll be fine.
Everything's fine. Give them a cookie. Ultimately, it comes down to this. Watch what you wanna watch. Exactly.
Do what you wanna do. I just have my own opinions, and they just happen to be You shared it. Certain movies aren't Christmas movies. That's it. That's all.
You can watch Gremlins at Christmas time and feel great about it, and then go, what a great what a great movie I watched I will. During Christmas time that also had Christmas happening in it. So let's take a break, Josh. Alright. Let's go get a snack.
Okay. That sounds nice. Snack and a nap. Okay. A little bit.
Are you ready for a would you rather this or that Christmas edition? Yes. Would you rather wear matching Christmas pajamas or matching Christmas sweaters? Who am I matching with? Your family.
All of us. All 4 of us. Well, let's do a matching pajama. That sounds fun. Matching pajamas over a matching sweater?
I mean, I I feel like I'm gonna be able to convince the family of, you and I will do either. I don't I'll match you. That's fine. I I look forward to the day we get to wear matching clothes. We can do that today.
No. But you know those couples that do that? Yeah. Yeah. One day, we're gonna do that.
I can't really like matching Hawaiian shirts or something. Okay. We'll be we'll be that people. Let's do that, people. Eventually.
It's not it's not time yet. Oh. We're still a little more independent. Like, every day, you go, what are you gonna wear? Oh, I don't know.
What are we wearing? Maybe I'll just start watching what you put on, and I'll be like, I have something that looks a little bit like that. But I'm saying off with colors. Oh, I see. And then it'll build to the same wardrobe?
Yep. Okay. Hey. It's, it's our parrot Hawaiian shirts today. Yes.
Anyway, I think you and I will we could match sweaters or pajamas. I think I'm gonna have a hard time convincing our 15 year old daughter and our 20 year old son to wear matching sweaters for the day and go out and about with us. I just don't think I think you're right. They're gonna go for it. I don't think they're gonna be weirded out.
So, I'm picking the pajamas because I think we could get away with all 4 of us wearing pajamas hanging out of the house. I'll pick pajamas too because pajamas. Alright. Enough said. Very good.
Would you rather this or that? Do you buy into, your horoscope much? You don't. I I think, not the daily horoscope thing, like that, but I do believe that there are certain traits that are, attached to a person that is born at a certain time of year. Yeah.
And so when, when I say I'm a Pisces because I'm born in February, I feel like, that sort of, the characteristics that go along with a Pisces match me well. Okay. I agree with that. Some of those I'm a Taurus. Yeah.
We know. Here's what is that supposed to mean? Nothing. Here is the holiday movie that best fits your zodiac side. Okay.
So for a Pisces, it is? Oh, I was gonna say my first. I got it. Really? You're a Taurus?
Tell me more. None you jerk. For Pisces, your holiday movie is The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. What's the 4 is that one movie or 2? No.
It's one movie. Nutcracker and the Four Realms. A holiday fantasy made for your imaginative dreamy soul. It was a Christmas flop. Do you have an imaginative dreamy soul, Josh?
Maybe. What is this movie? Movie is crafted just for your whimsical creative spirit. A young girl transported into a magical world of gingerbread soldiers in an army of mice. No.
This is just the nutcracker. Yeah. But this is And the 4 realms. It's crafted. It's handcrafted for you, for your whimsical creative spirit.
Came out in 2018. You wanna know why no one heard about this movie? Because it flopped. Okay. Listen.
Here's mine. I'm a Taurus. No. We know. We've heard My holiday movie is The Last Holiday with Queen Latifah.
Oh, what list is this? I cannot do it. This movie you wanna know how bad this movie did? Oh my gosh. We're moving on.
Oh, okay. Wow. Movie is charming, indulgent, and the perfect reminder to step outside the Taurus' cozy comfort zone. Am I charming and indulgent? Did you know about this movie?
Oh my gosh. Shut it down. No. I really the the you know, when this movie came out was the same time as the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. Oh, so that's why it was a bust.
So terribly. So bad. It it cost I was trying to figure out how much it cost. The studio is had lost 75 to $90,000,000 making this movie. Unreal.
And it's, and it's a Disney, and it did not do well. So I think you found a list of bad movies that go with your zodiac is what you found. No. Home Alone is on here. Oh, when is Home Alone?
Who's the movie for? Aries. Aries. Okay. Gremlins is for Gemini.
Okay. We got the Grinch for Leo. Okay. The holiday calendar for Virgo. No one's heard of that.
Nightmare for before Christmas is for Scorpio. Sagittarius is the polar express. Oh. Scrooge is for Capricorn. Scrooge or Scrooged?
Scrooge. What's the Scrooge movie? I don't know. It doesn't matter. Because there's okay.
It doesn't matter. It was this alright. That's not a good list. Hey. It's been great sharing the morning with you.
We need more snacks and naps. Let's wrap it up. Alright. Fine. Have a great rest of your Wednesday.
We're 1 week away from Christmas. Hooray. Glowy. Get ready to play jingle bingo. It's coming up in a few minutes, and, we'll see you back here tomorrow.
