It's FRIIIDAY! #17: Stockings Full of Stupid

WEBVTT

1
00:00:22.160 --> 00:00:29.440
Welcome inside the treehouse on a Friday
right before Christmas. I'm Daniel Malley,

2
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:34.560
along with Trey Trnholm and Raj Sharma. And if any of you are looking

3
00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:39.840
for a last minute gift for me, I would appreciate some good fucking Internet

4
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:48.759
so shod that in my stocking.
I would greatly appreciate that. Because the

5
00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:56.119
Island Internet has not been ideal.
That's my hope for for a Christmas miracle.

6
00:00:56.439 --> 00:01:03.600
Maybe Hallmark can make a movie out
of that Internet. Yeah, I

7
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:07.359
don't. I don't think that would
work because I because that would mean,

8
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.079
like the big city Internet comes to
the island and and and takes over.

9
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.680
You would have to be the struggling, the struggling you know, local internet

10
00:01:18.239 --> 00:01:23.519
provider and just looking for the love
of a good woman in a flannel on

11
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:29.120
a beach, at a at a
farmer's market, trying to hawk like the

12
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:34.079
professor from Gilligan's Island. My own
my own coconut Internet service provider company,

13
00:01:34.799 --> 00:01:37.799
and uh and then big Internet comes. That would be a good name though,

14
00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.040
that'd be a good name for island
Internet is coconut. That'd be a

15
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:48.599
that's solid. It's not bad because
honestly, the Internet between two halves of

16
00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.480
coconut is probably better than what I've
been getting the last couple of days.

17
00:01:53.120 --> 00:01:56.680
Yeah, well, I just like
the image of Dan, you know,

18
00:01:56.719 --> 00:02:01.359
and kind of like a flannel speedo
and some oh and a half walking up.

19
00:02:01.959 --> 00:02:07.359
That is not a family friendly image. Trey Hallmark would not go over

20
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:10.919
that. I'm not even I hope
to god nobody would. I was thinking,

21
00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:15.800
for your only day's account, you're
not going to get a You're not

22
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:20.479
going to get Candice Cameron to co
star on that one. Oh no,

23
00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:25.680
You're finally gonna You're finally gonna get
a roller ROJH. Today is, of

24
00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:30.680
course, Friday, December twenty second, twenty twenty three, the Friday before

25
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:37.599
Christmas. I have a very special
heartwarming story or actually feet warming story to

26
00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:42.000
share with you two before we get
into the stupid news of the day.

27
00:02:42.120 --> 00:02:47.840
But as it is Friday, right
before Christmas, it reminds me of my

28
00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:57.360
days of celebrating Christmas by going to
the galleria. This is what I would

29
00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.039
do typically with Gallery or North Park
or whatever mall that was close by at

30
00:03:01.039 --> 00:03:06.120
the time, and I would have
my Christmas list all the gifts that I

31
00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:09.280
needed to buy, for people,
and I would do one shopping trip one

32
00:03:09.439 --> 00:03:13.400
day and one day only, and
if the stores didn't have it, you

33
00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:17.479
didn't get it. But every single
time I was able to accomplish my mission

34
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:23.719
and get at least a gift for
everybody on that list, and doing it

35
00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:30.360
in strategic military fashion. I would
have to plan out which stores I was

36
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:31.400
going to hit first. First of
all, which mall am I going to

37
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:35.439
hit? Where am I going to
park? And then which stores am I

38
00:03:35.520 --> 00:03:38.319
hitting on which levels first and in
what order so I can be in and

39
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:43.360
out as most efficiently as possible,
while also of course stopping at the anti

40
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.560
christ Starbucks for their anti Christmas cup
flavorings. So what does that mean?

41
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:53.199
Like you have to download the programs
like for a map program for the mall,

42
00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.280
and then the inventory list of every
store and then process it and you

43
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:00.759
just get a list, and that's
the way you do. But but and

44
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.639
what I would do is where where
in the list you sit on Santa's lap.

45
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:14.159
It's at the end tray. That's
the reward, you said, right,

46
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:16.959
I don't really have to ask for
Santa for anything at that point.

47
00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:19.759
I just tell him to tell me
I'm a good boy. That's all I

48
00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:27.680
need, and then I can get
my tr the only person, he's the

49
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:34.439
only person that has Santa. And
it's a mall Santa too. You find

50
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:43.360
a right Santa though, you know
the Malsana's if there was some open work

51
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.439
in a BD s M club,
they're they're gained for eleven months out of

52
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:49.639
the year. Hey man, what
Santa does at night after after a day

53
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:58.279
full of kids at the mall.
I can't really say I blame him.

54
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.279
They make really good money, do
they. That's the that's Oh yeah.

55
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:05.959
A buddy of mine, uh her
dad uh is a is a Santa Claus

56
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:13.160
and for this he'll he'll clear one
forty for the Seriously, that's what he

57
00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:17.759
one. I'm not frozen, that's
just me stunned. I just wow,

58
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:23.399
Okay, Yeah, he clears about
anywhere between when he first started out.

59
00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:26.439
I guess. I don't know if
there's a hierarchy or whatever the corner is

60
00:05:26.519 --> 00:05:29.120
or whatever, like whatever you have
to do. I don't think Santa's working

61
00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:32.079
a corner. Yeah, I don't
know how it works. Is there a

62
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:36.160
Santa's Union? I mean not in
Texas. I'm sure there is in l

63
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:43.720
A positive there's one in La.
Now now we have another storyline for our

64
00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:50.920
Don Kringle movie. You know,
he's gonna he's gonna he's gonna break the

65
00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:56.319
unions. Yeah, but yeah he
clears about one uh anywhere between one forty

66
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:00.279
and mall, Like is that the
North mall or is that like the between

67
00:06:00.319 --> 00:06:09.439
malls between malls and like uh appearances
and like, uh, you'd be surprised.

68
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:14.879
I don't know anymore. Yeah,
yeah, big big town, big

69
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.759
town paying big bucks these days.
That's you just age yourself because I don't

70
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:20.639
even think it's there anymore. Like
I don't even think the building is Like

71
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:25.759
I don't know if the building.
You just have gun shows there. Santa

72
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:30.800
still my spot still runs for it. Yeah, but like appearances and like

73
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:38.439
like like showing up to like kids
like Christmas parties and corporate parties and all

74
00:06:38.439 --> 00:06:41.000
that stuff. Like he makes like
that's what he does and he's done for

75
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:45.360
the year. God, I bet, I bet there is a gun show

76
00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:47.439
that has a Santa there. I
bet that you're talking about a Santa that

77
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:53.279
rakes it in Yeah. Oh yeah, And that's that's not even a center

78
00:06:53.319 --> 00:06:57.480
you can mug at the end of
the night, because you know, he's

79
00:06:57.519 --> 00:07:06.800
gotten stuff in that bag. Gun
show Santa. I like those guys.

80
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:17.040
He don't talk good, but he
makes a country, making your loopholes bright

81
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:30.920
got a set of truck nuts on
the sleigh, wouldn't it be eight sets

82
00:07:31.160 --> 00:07:46.040
that glows that are red already?
He just calls miss Clauses old lady.

83
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:56.480
He's the only Santa that's a one
percenter. Al Right, Before we get

84
00:07:56.519 --> 00:08:01.720
too far down into the u into
the drenches of Christmas, let me share

85
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.319
a quick story for you to bring
us out of it, something uplifting that

86
00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:11.000
I wanted to share with you guys
briefly. And that is so the day

87
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:13.519
after we did our Christmas road show
at Shaker Tins, Tara and I got

88
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.759
in a rental van because we had
to take some more of our personal things

89
00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:22.920
from Texas to Florida to be shipped
here to the island, and in doing

90
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:28.480
so, we had acquired at our
Airbnb and at our house where we stayed

91
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.200
a bunch of snacks and things that
we weren't going to finish, right,

92
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:37.639
So we decided on our way out
of Dallas, you know, heading east,

93
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:43.679
that we would find a homeless person
and say, here you go,

94
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:46.639
here's some stuff. If you're hungry, please, you know, either eat

95
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:48.840
it all yourself, share it with
your friends, whatever. But here you

96
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.440
go. And on our way out, we're thinking, okay, well where

97
00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:54.960
should we stop? And I knew
we were getting on I thirty and heading

98
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.799
east, and I said, you
know what we can do, Let's just

99
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:03.919
stop at Exposition, you know,
down there at the dart station across from

100
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:07.679
the Cotton Bowl. Pretty much guaranteed
to find some homeless people there. So

101
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.360
that was what we did. Make
the exit. We're on Perry Avenue,

102
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:20.600
I believe it is, and I'd
say, almost immediately see this homeless lady

103
00:09:20.639 --> 00:09:24.120
sitting in front of I don't know
if it was a bar or a barber

104
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.759
shop. Obviously it wasn't open,
but she's just sitting there, and she's

105
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:31.120
sitting in the sun. And I
realized, now that was very strategic because

106
00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.879
it was a cold morning on Saturday
or Sunday, December tenth, but it

107
00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:39.320
wasn't so bad in the sun.
And the reason why that was important is

108
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.600
because I got out of the van
from around the corner, brought over that

109
00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:48.240
sack of food and snacks and things
to give her, and as I turned

110
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:52.720
the corner, I noticed that her
legs are sticking out into the sun,

111
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:56.519
and she's not wearing any shoes,
and she has no socks, and that's

112
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.120
why her feet were in the sun, because they were frozen. And I

113
00:10:01.919 --> 00:10:09.840
immediately felt silly for handing her a
bag of like special K protein cereal bars

114
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:16.480
and cheerios and cheetos and things that
we stole from our airbnb. And she

115
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:18.919
was grateful. She was so happy
for it. She stood up, she

116
00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:20.759
came over and she's like, oh
my god, thank you so much.

117
00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:22.720
Because I didn't want spooker. I
don't want to scare her, obviously,

118
00:10:24.159 --> 00:10:26.200
and she said, thank you so
much, and so here Merry Christmas,

119
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.519
and I hope his help and go
back to the van. And every step

120
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:35.399
back to the van, I'm thinking
about her cold bear feet, and I

121
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:41.039
realized in my suitcase, I've got
four pairs of socks. They're not the

122
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:45.279
last pair of socks I have in
the world, but I in that moment

123
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.279
realize she needs these obviously much more
than I do, especially because I'm going

124
00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.399
back to the Caribbean and feel like
a real a hole with all these socks

125
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:56.960
open. I'm a suitcase. Grab
a pair of big long gray socks,

126
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.960
and I walked those back over to
her and I said I forgot one,

127
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:03.360
and they said, here you go. I'm not telling that story to be

128
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:07.440
like, oh, look what I
did. I'm saying it because if an

129
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.120
opportunity for you arise is to do
something similar. This is something that when

130
00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:15.639
I told Tara, when she asked
what I was doing going back, I

131
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.080
came back and said she needed socks, and she's like, okay, yeah,

132
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:24.240
because Tara has volunteer doing a homeless
count program before in previous years,

133
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.799
where they would go around and try
to do sort of like a homeless census,

134
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:33.879
and it was extremely common for the
people in those situations to not have

135
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:35.519
any damn socks, and something most
of us don't think about. So that's

136
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:39.120
why I wanted to share the story. If you find yourself in a position

137
00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.279
to do it, food is obviously
great. Jackets are great, coats,

138
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:46.080
hats, mitten's, gloves, all
that stuff. But if you find yourself

139
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.639
at Walmart or something or Dollar General
like RAJ, if you're buying a turkey

140
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:54.240
again and they've got a big sack
of socks or something, try that a

141
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:58.840
big thing of socks, warm socks
to take someplace and we all know where

142
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.559
our nearest homeless in camp it is. It's pretty common these days we know

143
00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:05.039
where the nearest ones are, or
we know the people that hang out on

144
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.320
the street corner of panhandling while not
being shoot off by you know, Pimpy

145
00:12:09.360 --> 00:12:13.440
Santa. So that's just something I
wanted to to share with you guys,

146
00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.960
because it was it was something that
happened to us. It was very important,

147
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.840
it was very eye opening to me, and I hope by sharing it

148
00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:22.000
it can be eye opening to somebody
else, and maybe someone else who needs

149
00:12:22.000 --> 00:12:26.759
a pair of socks will get some
who had given who had given you the

150
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.919
socks. I'm assuming it was a
Christmas gift and you just, you know,

151
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.919
like you did with my bottle of
You catch me regifting one gift of

152
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:39.360
yours, and you assume everything I
give away is a gift that's that someone

153
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.600
has given me. You know,
why why wouldn't you give the whiskey to

154
00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.600
the homeless because I had already gifted
it to Jerry. Well, he's kind

155
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:50.639
of homeless. I mean it's kind
of close. He works for nowhere he

156
00:12:50.679 --> 00:12:56.159
works, he's almost home, I
know. Yeah, So that was the

157
00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.799
number one years ago. I saw
the thing when I was when I was

158
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:05.320
in LA that the number one thing
that's requested at homeless shelter is socks.

159
00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:11.519
And so I make these, and
I again not I don't tell people,

160
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.159
but I make these little go bags, and so you're right. I do

161
00:13:13.279 --> 00:13:16.840
go to the nine sense store,
not just for twenty pounds turkeys every year,

162
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:22.759
but I do. They sell socks
and there I think they're a dollar

163
00:13:22.879 --> 00:13:26.159
ninety nine for three pairs of socks. And then I get the brown like

164
00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.120
remember the old lunch bags. It's
a little brown paper bag. And I

165
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:37.360
do like the small toothpaste and a
toothbrush and socks and soap, and I

166
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:41.600
do a bottle of water. Sometimes
I'll tape two if the bag is strong

167
00:13:41.679 --> 00:13:46.320
enough, and then I do like
two bucks and quarters because I don't know

168
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:50.200
if you know this, but drug
dealers don't take quarters, and they can

169
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.799
also use that to get like a
sandwich like here, you know, it

170
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.600
was like you know, it's a
dollar menu, but it's nothing. It's

171
00:13:54.639 --> 00:13:58.559
a dollar. It's a dollar plus
tax or whatever. So I always do

172
00:13:58.600 --> 00:14:01.440
that, and they just have like
eight quarters in the bank and I keep

173
00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:05.039
them in my car and if I
see somebody like nothing, nothing, not

174
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:11.159
the usual guys that I see out
that I know getting the Mercedes. I'm

175
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:15.559
sure. And you know, because
not everyone else has you know, the

176
00:14:15.600 --> 00:14:18.559
wherewithal to think about, you know, giving someone a homeless starter kit.

177
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:26.679
Well, I mean, if you
find yourself newly homeless, you're like,

178
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.679
where do we get water from?
Da? There's no place to get water

179
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:35.240
from? Uh? And and soap
and toothpaste and a toothbrush and a comb

180
00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:39.080
stuff like that. So I just
put a little thing and I keep them

181
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:43.159
in my car, and so I'll
just give them to the folk that are

182
00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.440
out there, especially at this time. And I also do the like the

183
00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:50.759
like sweaters and stuff from my previous
years. If I if I keep them

184
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:54.399
in a suitcase and I'll keep them
in a car and if I see somebody

185
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:56.879
that needs one. It was one
a couple of months ago. It was

186
00:14:56.919 --> 00:15:01.639
just hot and I had extra water, so I was like, here man,

187
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:03.480
and he wasn't. You can always
tell he wasn't begging for anything.

188
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:05.519
He wasn't didn't hold up a sign
whatever. He was just kind of on

189
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.600
the side of the road doing his
own That was probably just a guy out

190
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.000
for a run who didn't plan well
well, but he looked like shit.

191
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:24.960
Uh, he looked he looked very
fit. Yeah, he looked very very

192
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:28.919
uh very fit for being uh out
for a run. He didn't need to

193
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:31.840
be running anywhere. He was already
very very skinny. And I was like,

194
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.919
there's just a couple of extra bottles
of water. But yeah, that's

195
00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:37.279
a I love that you did that, man, that's very cool. Like

196
00:15:37.320 --> 00:15:39.759
I I don't, I don't.
It's hard to tell people that, like,

197
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.279
let me tell you the story.
Maybe it'll help somebody else. But

198
00:15:43.320 --> 00:15:46.039
it does and people will listen and
hopefully it's the paying it forward thing that

199
00:15:46.039 --> 00:15:50.240
that comes. Do you do anything
like that? He just throws. He

200
00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:58.080
just carry around carre around food for
dogs and cats. That's good and you

201
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:12.840
give that to the homeless people.

228
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:32.279
stuff happening at the Dallas Comedy Club
Friday before before Christmas. I'm not doing

229
00:18:32.359 --> 00:18:37.839
the the crazy Christmas list crossing off
of stuff. I've finally reached the point

230
00:18:37.880 --> 00:18:40.440
in my life where i don't have
to worry about buying things for anybody for

231
00:18:40.519 --> 00:18:42.440
Christmas because I did the smart thing
and I moved twenty two hundred miles away

232
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:49.400
where I'm not required to do such
things anymore. That's nice. It doesn't

233
00:18:49.960 --> 00:18:52.279
But like when you're in person,
like you know, when you're like here

234
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.279
visiting like for like a road show, you could have had a gift for

235
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:03.880
your friends then, you know,
like we did. I didn't have time.

236
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.319
Hm. I'm just saying, like, you know, we had he

237
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:12.559
had bought us socks. Yeah,
yeah, apparently because it was I can't

238
00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:18.559
remember Trey, whose idea was it
that we all should say, like,

239
00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.480
let's set a limit of twenty five
dollars and that's as far as we go,

240
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.680
and then we just can buy something. I can't remember, Trey,

241
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.799
if you remember whose idea it was. I think it was Dan's. Yeah,

242
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:32.680
I think I think it was your. I think it was your idea.

243
00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:33.839
Dan says, some time familiar to
me at all? Whatsoever? I

244
00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.680
deny all of it. Uh,
well, you know that's the thing about

245
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.240
you can't run from tape. So
we can just play the episode back where

246
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:47.279
you decide that's what we're gonna do. We don't have those freak fire tragedy.

247
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:48.640
We we have the episodes. It
was the white It was a white

248
00:19:48.680 --> 00:19:52.039
elephant, I think because I did
know what a white elephant gift was.

249
00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.880
And then you explained the whole thing, and then you set a price limit,

250
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.839
and then Trey and I actually went
out and bought stuff, and so

251
00:20:00.920 --> 00:20:06.000
you're also saying you didn't have time
right to get anything for us. You

252
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:10.039
could have just given us the twenty
five dollars I didn't have. I didn't

253
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:17.960
have enough cash with Venmo cash app
that it was congested by everyone buying merch

254
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.039
at the event. Oh so we
could have gotten a T shirt, you

255
00:20:23.079 --> 00:20:26.400
know, because those were twenty five
dollars. So you could have just given

256
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.359
us each our own T shirts.
Pray you have, you have? You

257
00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:33.240
have two? Right, Yeah,
one's an Xcel, one's a double Excel.

258
00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:38.799
Nobody's taking that perfect perfect. Those
shirts run small. See this is

259
00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:41.759
when this is this is the part
that I love when when Dan becomes Indian

260
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:53.559
without knowing he's Indian. That's what
that's what happens. Is like I I

261
00:20:53.599 --> 00:20:56.599
got so busy, you know I
did. I got really busy and out

262
00:20:56.720 --> 00:21:04.599
and out of nowhere. Birthday showed
up to distract us all. Today is

263
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:12.119
Friday, December twenty second, twenty
twenty. I do love you guys.

264
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:18.359
I'm just really terrible at giving gifts
now birthdays today because today is you're not

265
00:21:18.559 --> 00:21:22.680
you're good at giving gifts to other
people. It just y yes, yeah,

266
00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.920
yeah, you managed to give everybody
else their gifts. All right,

267
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:27.839
well, I tell you what it's. It's kind of a good news bad

268
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.960
news situation. The bad news is
you guys don't have a gift. The

269
00:21:30.960 --> 00:21:36.359
good news is I now have a
resolution for next year. Ah good,

270
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.599
and you, in your forgetfulness,
will keep that intact. I can't control

271
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:47.000
what I what iat what my brain
decides to remember or forget. Look more

272
00:21:47.039 --> 00:21:52.359
birthdays. As I mentioned before,
today is Friday, December twenty second,

273
00:21:52.480 --> 00:22:00.519
twenty twenty three birthdays today. Pop
singer, I guess she's still that Meghan

274
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:04.079
Trainer. She is twenty nine that
actually, I guess now that she's it's

275
00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:08.279
this day would probably make her thirty, So she's the Big three O today.

276
00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:17.720
Rapper the baby is definitely not a
baby. He's thirty two today.

277
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.279
Now I have to skip over all
the all the TikTok and Instagram stars,

278
00:22:22.720 --> 00:22:27.240
so I hate that they're in here. TV actor Joshua Bassett is twenty two.

279
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:37.759
TV actress Genevieve Hanelius is twenty four. Movie actor Bryce Geiser is eighteen,

280
00:22:37.799 --> 00:22:41.440
but the photo they have for him
makes him look he's like six.

281
00:22:41.599 --> 00:22:47.079
Here's someone that we all know,
actor director producer Ray Fines. He is

282
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.720
sixty one today. Wow, he
was. He graduated to the level of

283
00:22:51.960 --> 00:23:00.079
m in the Daniel Craig Bond movies
after Dame Judy dench okay, gotcha and

284
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.680
they announced who's going to be the
next Bond. They have not really really

285
00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.559
pushing for inter Selvo. I think
he's pretty much come out and been like,

286
00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:10.839
no, I'm good. But they
didn't feel like they all say that

287
00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:12.880
until until they accepted. Yeah.
But you know, I think the other

288
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.200
problem with him is by the time
they started production, he's too old,

289
00:23:18.519 --> 00:23:22.039
because I mean, I think they
want someone who's got a ten year a

290
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.920
ten year span, and I think
Sean Sean Connery was born old. Uh

291
00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:32.799
and he still got the gig.
So well, you say, but you

292
00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.599
think about it, they actually were
sixty seems to be the threshold that they

293
00:23:36.599 --> 00:23:41.279
walk away from Bond stars because that's
about how old Connory was, and then

294
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.640
Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton. I
think they just got rid of him.

295
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:49.559
Yeah, whatever happened to him,
Like his Bond career ended. His career,

296
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:55.400
Bonds completely over. He was in
the Uh, he was in Hot

297
00:23:55.440 --> 00:24:00.519
Fuzz with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. After after they did a Sean of

298
00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:03.039
the Dead, they did the Hot
Fuzz movie. That was awesome. He

299
00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:06.079
was in that. Yeah, was
he in Crampus? Do you remember him

300
00:24:06.079 --> 00:24:08.599
in that? Do you remember?
You say? That's awesome? You were

301
00:24:08.640 --> 00:24:15.640
you were James Bond, You're Hot
Fuzz. Yeah. Man, there are

302
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:19.400
some things you're just gonna have to
contend with. I if you kind of

303
00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:23.519
peek in your acting career or just
your career in general, like some people

304
00:24:23.519 --> 00:24:26.960
would say, oh, you go
from the Russ Martin Show to a podcast.

305
00:24:26.119 --> 00:24:29.839
Yeah, but it's it's the next
evolution, it's the next thing.

306
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:33.920
You started out as James Bond,
and you know he's still a working actor.

307
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:37.240
He was in other stuff after it. I can't name any of not

308
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.000
uff my head, but that.
I mean, look, that man's been

309
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:41.759
in a movie. He's been in
a number of movies, and none of

310
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.279
us have That's true, at least
not on that level. I mean,

311
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.559
Roger and I have done a couple
of things for friends, but I don't

312
00:24:48.559 --> 00:24:52.480
know if I want ad many of
those. Yeah. The story that I

313
00:24:52.519 --> 00:24:56.039
will always remember from you know,
the days of the of the Russ Martin

314
00:24:56.079 --> 00:25:00.799
Show, or you know the fact
that Adam West after he's Batman and successful,

315
00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:03.119
and then you know, two years
later he's getting fired out of a

316
00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:06.599
cannon because that's the only work he
can get to Iowa State Fair or something

317
00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.359
because it was a paying gig.
Look, I don't I don't fault anybody,

318
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.519
no matter what your job was before, and how how illustrious it might

319
00:25:12.519 --> 00:25:15.240
have been or how well it might
have paid. At a certain point,

320
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.319
you got to eat, you want
to provide for your family, or at

321
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:22.400
the very least you're just bored and
want to do something, and you want

322
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.519
to do something that you know.
And Timothy Dalton, yeah, maybe he

323
00:25:26.599 --> 00:25:33.599
had a couple of down years or
whatever, but he's still. Catherine Heigel

324
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:37.640
from Grey's Anatomy, when she got
fired from the show because she's so difficult

325
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:41.160
to work with, nobody wanted to
work with her. If you will go

326
00:25:41.240 --> 00:25:45.240
back, she did a Niqual commercial
because that's the only work that she could

327
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:47.759
get for the longest time. And
I didn't falter for it. I mean,

328
00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:49.839
was it was it a step down
from from the TV gig, sure,

329
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.720
But I like the fact that I
liked that she she had to you

330
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.839
know, it was actually really smart
of her to do that because it showed

331
00:25:59.880 --> 00:26:03.039
you milody, which is one of
the things that was one of the complaints

332
00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.240
about her. Yeah, but I
don't think people when when you when you

333
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:10.359
get to that level of where people
are complaining about you, they don't see

334
00:26:10.440 --> 00:26:12.440
humility and that they go, oh, that's what that bitch gets, Like,

335
00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:15.759
that's that's what they see. Because
I remember, I remember watching it.

336
00:26:15.799 --> 00:26:19.000
I was like, is that catch
in a nic Cole commercial? Like

337
00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.119
you don't you don't see that?
Like for the longest time, that was

338
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.480
a big taboo. For the longest
time, you didn't see Hollywood actors in

339
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.359
tell they would do them overseas,
do the voiceover stuff left and right.

340
00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:36.240
Yeah, yeah, but the commercials
like you know, just selling you know,

341
00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:38.519
pitching chips or beer or whatever.
Like they wouldn't do that uh here

342
00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.319
locally because it would be like a
little stigma to their the crew. But

343
00:26:42.400 --> 00:26:47.279
overseas, like Schwartzenaker has been doing
commercial Schortznakers st alone, like all those

344
00:26:47.319 --> 00:26:52.559
guys have been doing commercials in Japan
for decades. Uh and then they they

345
00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:55.799
there was a TV show on Fox
whatever that leaked all these international like goofy

346
00:26:55.839 --> 00:26:59.599
international commercials and They're like, everybody's
like, what they won't do them here,

347
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:02.759
and so then that's when that you
know, now you see celebrities and

348
00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:04.039
commercials here now, so that's kind
of interesting. But yeah, there was

349
00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:08.880
there was also a stigma if you
were if you were considered a film actor.

350
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:14.599
There was a stigma for the longest
time about doing any TV. Oh

351
00:27:14.680 --> 00:27:17.240
yeah, for sure, for sure, yeah, yeah, yeah. And

352
00:27:17.240 --> 00:27:21.960
now everybody wants to do a Netflix
run or a Hulu run. So yeah,

353
00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:23.519
I mean it's uh yeah, I
mean it pays out the ass of

354
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.680
course they do. Yes. But
again, going full circle, I would

355
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:32.759
love to see Indris Elbow get it
because that would be very cool to shake

356
00:27:32.839 --> 00:27:36.200
things up in the world of the
Bond. I see what you did there?

357
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:42.440
See you see? I learned it
from the best Whizzy I'll kill him

358
00:27:48.000 --> 00:28:04.480
dead. The visit us online at
Treehouse on Air. Let's talk to Daniel

359
00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:08.839
Cook from Cook DFW Roofing and Restoration
for your free roof inspection. Give them

360
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.559
a call eight three to three Cook
d FW today. Daniel, I want

361
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:15.960
to ask you, did you hear
about the Florida man that shot at the

362
00:28:17.119 --> 00:28:22.000
Christmas parade? I have not,
actually, Dan that's that's very interesting.

363
00:28:22.240 --> 00:28:26.000
It's one of those things where you
think, is it really so bad that

364
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:27.960
people are having a good time outside
your house that you feel the need to

365
00:28:29.000 --> 00:28:33.359
grab the gun, run outside and
fire several rounds in their general directions,

366
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:37.119
Like can't you just put on some
noise canceling headphones and watch die Hard or

367
00:28:37.119 --> 00:28:40.799
something. Well, first of all, when you said a Florida man,

368
00:28:40.799 --> 00:28:44.960
I already knew it was gonna be
bad. Just like when you were in

369
00:28:45.000 --> 00:28:48.599
the airport recently. He almost saw
your altercation with that other Florida guy.

370
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:51.440
Yeah, take a shirt off in
the middle of the airport. That already

371
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:55.160
is You know, every time you
say a story from Florida, it automatically

372
00:28:55.240 --> 00:28:57.200
goes sideway. You know there's something
really bad that's about to happen. And

373
00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.160
I don't know if it's the water, maybe they have something weird in their

374
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.119
in their in their environmentals. I
don't know. But every time you hear

375
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:10.759
the word Florida and story, you
know it's fixing to be something really stupid.

376
00:29:11.279 --> 00:29:14.640
But yeah, I hope they I
hope they take care of this guy.

377
00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:18.519
He actually has something mentally wrong with
him obviously, so he does not

378
00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.480
need to be in the general public, and especially for something like that,

379
00:29:22.599 --> 00:29:26.480
for people just celebrating Christmas. My
goodness, what a story. Yeah,

380
00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.799
it also makes me think that maybe
if he got a soundproof roof that maybe

381
00:29:30.839 --> 00:29:33.359
that would have helped. I'm not
sure if you make those or if they

382
00:29:33.480 --> 00:29:37.599
make those at all, but I
always say anything is possible with enough time

383
00:29:37.599 --> 00:29:41.279
and money. Absolutely. You know, most of those roofs over there in

384
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.240
Florida, I mean a lot of
the areas are tile roofs, and they

385
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.759
they echo. Actually maybe so maybe
that's what was happening. Maybe he had

386
00:29:47.880 --> 00:29:52.240
so many noises in his head going
off it set back some bad, bad

387
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:57.200
problems from childhood. Who knows,
but wow, what here is Get yourself

388

lights in the fireplace, and you
just stay warm. It's cold here.

That's two one four three six eight thirty

426
00:32:39.680 --> 00:32:45.519
eight thirty eight. In the website
Brooks Plumbing, Texas a dot com,

427
00:32:47.279 --> 00:32:52.640
there are a number of Christmas traditions
that people have. Some people love them,

428
00:32:52.759 --> 00:33:00.559
some people hate them, and a
website decided to ask everyone to rate

429
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:05.319
there. There are Christmas traditions on
how much they love, hate, or

430
00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:10.000
just kind of about And I'm always
fascinated by these things because one, I

431
00:33:10.039 --> 00:33:15.559
think, I think people like to
compare, even though I'm a firm believer

432
00:33:15.720 --> 00:33:20.960
that comparison is the thief of joy. Sometimes it's okay because it's interesting to

433
00:33:21.000 --> 00:33:27.440
see how different people do things,
even if it's like at a similar time,

434
00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:30.480
like like Rajah. I don't know, like in the Indian community for

435
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:34.880
for you know, like a for
for an Indian holiday or maybe a Hindu

436
00:33:34.920 --> 00:33:39.319
holiday. You know, Uh,
do Indian families compare like decorations or meals

437
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.480
compared to other people. I think
it's a natural human thing, the way

438
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.440
you know, us white Christian folk
in America do for Christmas. Oh yeah,

439
00:33:47.519 --> 00:33:51.920
yeah, I mean it's everything's a
comparison, like what you're everything?

440
00:33:52.160 --> 00:33:55.160
So like whose kids doing what?
Whose kids a doctor whose kids is not

441
00:33:55.359 --> 00:33:59.319
who's who went to school here?
Who went to school there? What?

442
00:34:00.039 --> 00:34:01.680
You know, what food did they
serve at this holiday thing? What food

443
00:34:01.680 --> 00:34:05.359
did they serve at the wedding?
Was there alcohol? What kind of alcohol?

444
00:34:05.839 --> 00:34:07.320
How expensive was I mean, it's
all of it. So there's a

445
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:12.599
never ending uh comparisons to everybody else, like, well, you know,

446
00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.239
so and so had a you know, the Volley party, which are basically

447
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.920
our Christmas uh, and you know
they had this was catered by these people

448
00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:21.519
and they had you know, you
know, four bars and it was an

449
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:23.320
open bar and it was all top
shelf. And then you know, we

450
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:27.639
went to this one in that place
just had beer and wine and I'm like,

451
00:34:27.920 --> 00:34:30.880
what do you guys? You didn't
you're not bringing anything, Like what

452
00:34:30.920 --> 00:34:34.519
are you complaining about? But yeah, I know it is if you want

453
00:34:34.519 --> 00:34:38.000
to win your holiday party, whether
it's like you said to Vali or Christmas

454
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:42.440
or Easter, whatever it is,
I feel like we can make this happen.

455
00:34:42.480 --> 00:34:45.519
What you need to do is you
need to get yourself on the list

456
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:50.000
for Tray Trenholm's tender. Lloyd.
Yeah, I'm not going to take that

457
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:52.960
to the Hindu parties. That's a
bad. That's a bad. That's a

458
00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:58.119
that's a that's a that's a different
way to win the holidays. That's a

459
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:00.920
way to get your family disowned by
a bunch of Hindus. It's bringing that

460
00:35:01.079 --> 00:35:07.280
juicy beef tenderloin to a bunch of
Indus. I just love that you referred

461
00:35:07.280 --> 00:35:15.440
to Trey as juicy. I mean, that's a stripper name is beef tenderloin.

462
00:35:15.599 --> 00:35:19.960
That's right there, Lord, beef
tenderline. Lord. Yeah, you

463
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:23.320
got to make sure you get the
the proper title. So anyway, Yeah,

464
00:35:23.360 --> 00:35:30.559
thousands of people weighed in on the
website that suggested various Christmas traditions.

465
00:35:30.599 --> 00:35:35.079
So there's all these Christmas traditions and
thousands of people weighed in on whether or

466
00:35:35.079 --> 00:35:39.039
not they love them, they're sort
of about them, or if they actually

467
00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:46.760
secretly hate them. And I've got
the results making Christmas cards. Just over

468
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.760
ten percent of people say they not
only send out Christmas cards, but they

469
00:35:51.800 --> 00:35:58.400
also make them. Wow, there
are very few people that I still know

470
00:35:59.440 --> 00:36:04.320
that do Christmas cards. There are
a handful. It's usually younger families because

471
00:36:04.320 --> 00:36:07.039
they just had a kid, second
kid. I don't know, they had

472
00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:10.320
a kid that learned how to graduate
sixth grade or something, and they feel

473
00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:13.519
they need to tell everybody about it, so they do the Christmas card,

474
00:36:13.800 --> 00:36:20.920
make a card for everybody, and
see about sending them out to everybody else

475
00:36:21.000 --> 00:36:23.119
to show them what they've what they've
accomplished. Yeah, because the you know,

476
00:36:23.199 --> 00:36:27.840
bumper stickers that my kid's an honor
student at some elementary school aren't enough.

477
00:36:28.840 --> 00:36:30.039
No, no, no, they
need to send the same thing,

478
00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:34.800
but with like a Santa hat on
it. Gotcha? Okay, So the

479
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:38.440
people that do that, okay,
I've never met it. I've never met

480
00:36:38.480 --> 00:36:44.119
that many sociopaths, so I don't
know how that works. You make a

481
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:51.360
Christmas card. Fourteen percent of people
get their Christmas shopping done by Black Friday.

482
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:53.119
To me, that's just no fun. That takes the excitement out of

483
00:36:53.119 --> 00:36:58.400
it. But if maybe someone's idea
of excitement is getting it all done before

484
00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:00.440
Black Friday and feeling like they can
lord it over everybody else, then I

485
00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.760
guess that's fine. Whatever float your
both. Well, yeah, that's easy

486
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.000
for you to say. You don't
even do any Christmas shopping. You just

487
00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:07.880
wait to see what you get and
then you repurpose it and regift it.

488
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:12.000
Yeah, and then you don't buy
anybody anything else anyway. Yeah, all

489
00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:17.519
I'm hearing is you sound jealous.
Trade. Also, fourteen percent of people

490
00:37:17.559 --> 00:37:22.519
are really into doing Christmas family photos. I guarantee if you're the one person

491
00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:25.199
that's into doing the Christmas family photo, you're the only person in your family

492
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:29.360
who's into it. Everyone else does
not want to be there. They don't

493
00:37:29.360 --> 00:37:31.199
want to do it. And I
guarantee you the kids are thinking we could

494
00:37:31.199 --> 00:37:35.440
photoshop this. Oh I'd love to
do one of those. I've never got

495
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:40.079
to do one that seems like finally
get the like the dogs and like the

496
00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:45.639
girl and the in the just what
you should do, raj and you get

497
00:37:45.639 --> 00:37:49.079
your dogs and you you know,
you go to Olind Mills, get the

498
00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.760
wood paneling in the background, a
little antler, you know. No,

499
00:37:53.400 --> 00:37:58.760
it's just like, you know,
wearing the matching shirts and the dogs are

500
00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:00.760
there. And I've never been I've
never got to do one of those.

501
00:38:01.039 --> 00:38:04.480
If you guys, I'm sure have
I never got to do one of those.

502
00:38:04.599 --> 00:38:07.760
Yeah. Yeah, See, don't
take for granted what you what you

503
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:14.360
uh, what you were able to? Uh? What's stopped? I'm forty

504
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:17.119
eight and I'm like, it sounds
like a bucket list thing you need to

505
00:38:19.320 --> 00:38:21.800
I would like to do. I
mean, I'm not gonna be on my

506
00:38:21.800 --> 00:38:27.239
deathbed, like where's the flannel?
I don't I don't really care about that.

507
00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:29.920
But I'm like, I didn't get
to do that kind of stuff,

508
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:34.119
Like I never I've never carved a
pumpkin. I've never done. Sounds to

509
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:37.000
me like you have a whole series
of photos that you need to be shooting.

510
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:43.119
Yeah, that'd be weird, but
look at me carving the pumpkin at

511
00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:45.360
forty eight. But no, I've
never got You guys got to do all

512
00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.000
my white friends got to do all
that stuff. Like, hey, there's

513
00:38:49.039 --> 00:38:52.559
no reason why you can't catch up
ra Just because just because it's sort of

514
00:38:52.599 --> 00:38:54.960
like a white thing to do before
you're thirty, doesn't mean that you can't

515
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:59.199
do these things before you're fifty.
That's true. I've never been on a

516
00:38:59.199 --> 00:39:02.880
go cart. See look at your
white faces. Look at look at this

517
00:39:02.960 --> 00:39:07.840
sheer disappointment. You've never you never
went to Malibu? No, wow,

518
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:13.639
No, you never went to that
sketchy place off of seventy five between Bartlesville

519
00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:21.719
and Tulsa. Chop tall I don't
know what. I don't know which one

520
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:23.360
that is. But no, I
never got to do the go karts.

521
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.719
I never yeah that my mom was. I told you my mom was a

522
00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:31.440
nurse, So anything like motorized,
my mom like you're going to die and

523
00:39:31.480 --> 00:39:34.440
I'm like, okay, well,
I guess we're not doing it. BECA,

524
00:39:34.519 --> 00:39:37.119
we're not doing tho. I wasn't
entirely wrong, and she did work

525
00:39:37.440 --> 00:39:39.679
in an emergency room, so she
had experience with it. Twenty one percent

526
00:39:39.719 --> 00:39:45.800
of people love putting up their Christmas
stuff before Thanksgiving. Twenty five percent of

527
00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:51.440
people love baking cookies. It's more
of these Christmas traditions that people just either

528
00:39:51.559 --> 00:39:55.719
love or so so or they secretly
hate. Twenty five percent of people are

529
00:39:55.800 --> 00:40:00.280
secretly obsessed with the ugly Christmas sweaters. I don't know how you can be

530
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:05.239
secretly obsessed with that, because if
you're obsessed with Christmas sweaters, everybody knows

531
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:10.480
it. Also, twenty seven percent
of people love to entertain over the holidays

532
00:40:10.480 --> 00:40:16.079
and host parties. Twenty nine percent
of people love Christmas decorations. I'm one

533
00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:21.400
of those. I love Christmas decorations. I don't mind admitting it. People

534
00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:24.840
love Christmas decorations, or your wife
loves decorations and they're therefore you do.

535
00:40:25.559 --> 00:40:30.719
I love decorations. She also loves
decorations, so it actually works out well

536
00:40:31.280 --> 00:40:37.440
some ironically, some of my happiest
memories are when I was little and Christmas

537
00:40:37.480 --> 00:40:39.760
because my family went all out for
Christmas with the decorations and the gifts and

538
00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:44.719
the food and everything. I say
ironically because my parents hated each other,

539
00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:46.239
but they did really good job of
hiding it, which is part of the

540
00:40:46.280 --> 00:40:50.199
reason why I love Christmas is my
parents would have hide their hate for one

541
00:40:50.199 --> 00:41:02.320
another. That's That's a Christmas miracle. It really is. Also, forty

542
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:07.599
people think Christmas music is great.
I used to hate it. I've come

543
00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:09.960
back around on it. I now
enjoy it. No, I also for

544
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:14.599
a few years there, I was
in a very dark place and would listen

545
00:41:14.599 --> 00:41:17.239
to Christmas music in the world.
It was something that would give me joy

546
00:41:17.280 --> 00:41:24.440
on the ride home. What Christmas
Carol like, the rocking around the Christmas

547
00:41:24.480 --> 00:41:31.840
tree? Whatever, No, you
can't, I'd be fine. I'd be

548
00:41:31.840 --> 00:41:36.920
fine with Christmas music if they would
limit it to two weeks before Christmas.

549
00:41:37.199 --> 00:41:39.559
I'd be fine if they limited it
to one song once that night and that

550
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:45.280
was it. That shit is terrible, Like, but I the only thing

551
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:47.360
I can think of is like,
man, can you imagine being the guy

552
00:41:47.400 --> 00:41:52.239
who's like, man, I've done
my instant the instant instruments like bells,

553
00:41:52.880 --> 00:41:58.079
like that guy like can't wait for
Christmas to come around because that's the only

554
00:41:58.159 --> 00:42:04.400
time he's in session. That's his
end season, Like I can't what's the

555
00:42:04.519 --> 00:42:07.719
radio station here one of two to
one that's doing for years. They would

556
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.679
not listen to me when I suggested
to them when they would switch to Christmas.

557
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:14.760
I said, you're missing an opportunity
here because they call it Star one

558
00:42:14.760 --> 00:42:16.519
o two point one. I said
you need to change it to north Star

559
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:20.320
one oh two point one. They
would never do it. No, And

560
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:23.239
I'm so grateful for that suggestion.
Dan, you should have just been like,

561
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:27.280
hey, can we just do like
an hour on Christmas Day? And

562
00:42:27.320 --> 00:42:30.119
then that be it? Just play
the hits or really screw with them and

563
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:32.000
be like, hey, you really
want to you know, see if people

564
00:42:32.039 --> 00:42:37.280
are paying attention, how about after
Mariah Carey you bring back the edge?

565
00:42:42.039 --> 00:42:46.119
You don't do that. I would
listen to that. Well, if you

566
00:42:46.159 --> 00:42:50.199
had back then, then you wouldn't
have Christmas music on one o two point

567
00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:52.719
one, it'd still be the edge. But no one listened. I know,

568
00:42:52.920 --> 00:42:55.559
I just can't. Yeah, so
I can't with it. Christmas music

569
00:42:55.719 --> 00:42:59.880
and Christian rock are the same in
the same boat, and I hope it

570
00:43:00.079 --> 00:43:04.440
floods and saints to the bottom of
the Eshan. Well, that's the irony,

571
00:43:04.519 --> 00:43:07.239
raj is because of the genre of
music. That's not going to happen,

572
00:43:07.280 --> 00:43:08.719
because those are the two genres of
music that made it onto the arc.

573
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:22.719
Noah saved those two genres, those
are the two he saved. That's

574
00:43:22.800 --> 00:43:24.719
terrible. Yeah, but I mean, if you're a Christmas I can't believe.

575
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.480
I can't believe I've learned something new
about you today. Dan, You're

576
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:30.519
right, Well that keep in mind. I think you didn't hear the part

577
00:43:30.519 --> 00:43:34.119
where I said at the time,
I was in a very dark place,

578
00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:38.800
and listening to Christmas music year round
at that time in that dark place actually

579
00:43:38.840 --> 00:43:43.800
helped me feel better at that time. I'm now at a better place,

580
00:43:44.480 --> 00:43:47.760
and so I listened to Christmas music
just you know, around now, around

581
00:43:47.840 --> 00:43:52.840
Christmas music time, not you know
July. Oh you flash back, do

582
00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:54.519
you flash back when you were like
a board op at KBIL and you had

583
00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:59.719
to do Christmases and everything else.
That was the reason why it was all

584
00:43:59.760 --> 00:44:02.280
Thechristmas music I played at kV IL
from two thousand to two thousand and two.

585
00:44:02.320 --> 00:44:07.239
That I was dead set against Christmas
music for about eighteen nineteen years.

586
00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:16.039
What do you think of bordop fields? That works for the freak. I'm

587
00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:20.440
going to take the fifth on that
one. You did? He gave Jerry

588
00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:25.199
a fifth on that one. And
all they do is watch Hallmark movies because

589
00:44:25.199 --> 00:44:35.239
they can't watch sports anymore. You
know what, You just put on a

590
00:44:35.280 --> 00:44:39.880
scarf and warm up your throat and
dude, you do the you do the

591
00:44:39.920 --> 00:44:49.280
thing, or you listen to Christmas
music you're around like I did, got

592
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:55.119
out to the dark place that you're
in. And finally, fifty four percent

593
00:44:55.159 --> 00:45:04.960
of people still say they absolutely love
doing Secret Santa. Interesting and and okay,

594
00:45:05.159 --> 00:45:09.159
hold on, I'm gonna sounds stupid, but secrets like you you buy

595
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:12.800
a gift for someone, but you
don't tell them who you are. That

596
00:45:12.840 --> 00:45:15.239
works. Yeah, Sometimes it might
be one gift, it might be a

597
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:17.519
series of gifts. Usually it's very
popular in offices. That's what I was

598
00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:21.599
gonna say, is that is this
a family thing or an office I remember

599
00:45:21.599 --> 00:45:23.559
that at the office. It can
be both, but I think I think

600
00:45:23.559 --> 00:45:28.800
it's mostly popular in offices. It's
a it's a good way for large groups

601
00:45:28.840 --> 00:45:31.760
to exchange gifts, but you don't
break the bank. So you just draw

602
00:45:31.800 --> 00:45:36.440
a name and you know it.
Kind of like you know a white Elephant

603
00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:38.079
Christmas, where you go, okay, there's a twenty five dollars limit or

604
00:45:38.079 --> 00:45:44.760
whatever, and then you just don't
bring anything, and then somebody brings you

605
00:45:44.800 --> 00:46:00.360
stuff. Secret Dan Yeah, secret
da Danta clause brings you nothing. It's

606
00:46:00.400 --> 00:46:06.280
not my fault. You were bad. Oh sounds like my parents. Now

607
00:46:09.719 --> 00:46:20.480
I learned from the best Danta claws. Sounds like something you can do on

608
00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:30.880
your only dance though. Yeah,
we've got a stake out of it.

609
00:46:30.960 --> 00:46:37.679
You will get it on purpose.
In the pic I almost drowned in my

610
00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:42.599
Steel Treehouse podcast, Cup, be
