In this episode of Pop Culture Weekly with Kyle McMahon, Christmas isn't all jingle bells and merry carols, especially when Amanda Baez returns and shakes things up with her candid take on the holiday season. To make things worse...or better (?) they return from break after a few potent, holiday themed martinis added a sprinkle of...spontaneity... to their holiday spirit. (aka they're drunk from a work lunch)

Then their discussion takes a more festive turn as they share a laugh over their favorite Christmas movies, From the timeless mischief of "Home Alone" to the warm-hearted charm of "The Santa Clause", you don't want to miss Kyle or Amanda's lists of their Favorite Christmas Movies.  They're not just raving about the usual classics, though—get ready for some lively debates over  "The Polar Express"  and a surprising new favorite, "Red One." Each film on their list brings a touch of nostalgia, humor, or even a fresh twist to the festive cinematic landscape.

With a lot of alcohol, this episode is a merry mishmash of laughter, reflection, and the kind of storytelling that makes the holiday season truly magical. Whether you’re a Christmas fanatic or a festive skeptic, there’s something here to jingle your bells!

15
00:00:43.479 --> 00:00:46.280

17
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.000
From year to year.

18
00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:50.200
It's like, oh my god, these are my favorite Christmas movies,

19
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:55.600
and it's always interesting to get somebody else's take on

20
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:56.280
what their.

21
00:00:56.119 --> 00:00:58.560
Favorite Christmas movies are. We're also going to do our

22
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.439

27
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:11.280
Thank you for having me.

28
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:15.599
Of course, it's always fun having you. That sounded so weird,

29
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.840
but oh my god, it's always fun when you're on

30
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:19.159
the show.

31
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:20.319
I know what you mean.

32
00:01:20.359 --> 00:01:25.319
Thank you. Yeah. Anyway, so today it's all about our.

33
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:29.920
Favorite Christmas movies. I've done this episode or something similar

34
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:33.799
a few times. But I did notice, just like my

35
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:38.040
list of favorite movies, like a number of them change

36
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:42.640
throughout time. So like I might say, you know, Lord

37
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:45.560
of the Rings is my favorite even though that's six movies,

38
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:48.879
Lord of the Rings is my favorite movie. Yeah, next

39
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:50.319
year that might be number two.

40
00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:51.599
I think everybody goes through that.

41
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:54.560
Yeah yeah, but it's always like, for the most part,

42
00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:57.719
the top ten is always i'd say seven of them

43
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.640
are always in there in some number, you know what

44
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:00.920
I mean.

45
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:05.040
So what are you are you? Are you excited for Christmas?

46
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:10.039
Sure? I know I'm not. Wait what I don't?

47
00:02:10.159 --> 00:02:10.520
Why not?

48
00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:13.919
I'm not a big Christmas person honestly, And I feel

49
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.840
like I'm obligated to say that, yes, I'm excited for Christmas,

50
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:20.520
but deep down inside, I'm not a Christmas person at all.

51
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:23.400
Why did I just feel like.

52
00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:27.479
When you were a child, yeah, drop kick me and everything.

53
00:02:28.639 --> 00:02:30.759
I just feel like ever since I was a child,

54
00:02:30.840 --> 00:02:33.759
which you know, ironic, but ever since I was a child,

55
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.120
I just did not like the hustle and bustle of Christmas,

56
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.080
Like if the hustle and bustle of Christmas just pisses

57
00:02:40.120 --> 00:02:42.719
me off. And I feel like everyone is so fake

58
00:02:42.759 --> 00:02:45.439
around the holidays because everyone's complaining that they put the

59
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.560
Christmas lights up, the Christmas She's gotta go up, they

60
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.439
gotta get presents, and everyone just sounds so miserable, and

61
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:54.840
I'm like, guys, chill out, like I know, this is tradition,

62
00:02:55.159 --> 00:02:58.520
this is whatever, but no one's happy. Like when you

63
00:02:58.599 --> 00:03:02.680
really think about it, no one happy. Like nobody nowadays

64
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.560
really you know, likes their family. Oh wait, what Well,

65
00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:14.159
I feel like, okay, listen, I feel like we all

66
00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:17.879
have issues with our families that during the holidays, all

67
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:21.120
you hear about tummy Kyle. You rarely hear about Yeah,

68
00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:23.960
my family was over and it was amazing. There was

69
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.479
not one fight. All. You never hear that we all

70
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.120
got along, or when you do, it's very rare.

71
00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:33.199
I feel like my family gatherings are like that.

72
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:35.159
My god, Well, maybe I'm just part of a dysfunction,

73
00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.960
but I don't know. I just feel like for me

74
00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:41.639
and my circle of friends and like the people that

75
00:03:42.080 --> 00:03:45.199
I talk to, I just don't get the Christmas spirit.

76
00:03:45.560 --> 00:03:47.800
Yeah, no, I get that. And here's the other thing.

77
00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:50.120
You know, we've in my family have had a lot

78
00:03:50.120 --> 00:03:52.400
of loss over the last few years. So I think

79
00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:55.199
it's a little bit different for us because it's like

80
00:03:55.759 --> 00:03:59.960
we're cherishing every moment because we've had such immense law.

81
00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.199
You know, we've lost you know, three major loved ones

82
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.080
and you know, my mom, my mom, mom, and my

83
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:09.120
uncle in three years. So it's like I think we

84
00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:12.159
my family in particular, views it a little different right

85
00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:15.840
now because it's like, oh my god, who's next. You know,

86
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.480
we're like getting smaller and smaller, so it's like we

87
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:21.480
want to cherish those moments. But I totally understand what

88
00:04:21.600 --> 00:04:25.360
you are saying, especially with like the hustle and bustle,

89
00:04:25.800 --> 00:04:27.920
because it's freaking stressful.

90
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:30.519
It is stressful, and it just freaks me out. Like

91
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.439
I just feel like I can't go into the mall

92
00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.560
or it can't shop. I just feel like everyone's on

93
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.800
this holiday mode and they don't take into consideration other

94
00:04:39.839 --> 00:04:43.600
people's feelings and they're just very impatient, and I just

95
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:47.319
do not like the people. The people is what makes

96
00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:50.839
me dislike the time of year. It's not the actual

97
00:04:50.959 --> 00:04:52.959
like Christmas lights, and it's not like you know, the food,

98
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.040
it's just the people in the attitude. Like everyone can

99
00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:01.279
sense a shift in the in society when December first hits,

100
00:05:01.319 --> 00:05:04.839
and it's like it's not in my cases that I've noticed.

101
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.759
It's not a good one because everybody's just so impatient

102
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:11.160
and everyone's just so anxious and stress rightfully so because

103
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:13.279
they're trying to do all these things I want, and

104
00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.600
it's just disheartening to hear people just talk about how

105
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:20.199
miserable they are, and I'm just you.

106
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:23.000
Know, everybody's just like in a rash in their own

107
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:25.399
zone kind of I don't want to say selfish, but

108
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:28.639
like no selfish, you know what I mean.

109
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:31.879
Very like the holiday itself is not what you know

110
00:05:32.279 --> 00:05:35.600
makes me, you know, you know what I mean. But

111
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.040
it's just I just don't like this time of year

112
00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.759
because I just feel like there's no authenticity with people

113
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.800
because they're just so focused on themselves. And like, you know,

114
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.240
by all means you can do that, but people their attitudes.

115
00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:51.720
You know, when you put the attitude on me and

116
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.759
people around you when you're out and about, that's what

117
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:56.839
I have a problem. I'm like, listen, Jeef, like what

118
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.279
are you talking about right now? Like I understand little

119
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.959
JOHNI needs to little present. Yeah, but you have no

120
00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.800
right to yell at this target worker who gets paid

121
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:08.279
a whack weight, who just trying to do their job,

122
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:10.319
you know what I mean? Yeah, and not everyone's like

123
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:14.519
that and I know that, but I just don't. I

124
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:15.079
just do not.

125
00:06:15.439 --> 00:06:18.079
Yeah, And it starts for me with what you're saying.

126
00:06:18.120 --> 00:06:20.439
It starts on Black Friday. Oh yes, you know what

127
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.199
I mean? Or sure I went. I made the mistake

128
00:06:23.399 --> 00:06:25.519
and I didn't even realize it was. But so I

129
00:06:25.600 --> 00:06:27.759
used to go Black Friday shopping. I would like go out,

130
00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:30.639
you know, at midnight, blah blah blah, and do the

131
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:34.279
whole thing. And now I'm just like why because I

132
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:36.920
would always end up buying way too much stuff, and

133
00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.279
then literally that weekend I would return half of it

134
00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.279
because I would.

135
00:06:40.040 --> 00:06:42.600
Get in that oh my god, this TV for four

136
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.680
hundred dollars, one thousand dollars.

137
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:46.800
So I'd buy all this stuff that I didn't need

138
00:06:47.319 --> 00:06:50.079
and I'm like, half of it's for me, which it

139
00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:52.600
wasn't what I was shopping for anyway. And then like,

140
00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:54.560
I don't even need any of this stuff, why am

141
00:06:54.600 --> 00:06:56.839
I buying it? So I would literally spend the weekend

142
00:06:56.879 --> 00:07:00.399
and now there's giant lines, so I would spend that

143
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.319
the Black Friday weekend like in lines at places, returning

144
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.959
all the stuff that. So anyway, I made the mistake

145
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:08.879
this year of going with my boy Zach.

146
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:09.959
Shout out to Zach.

147
00:07:09.879 --> 00:07:12.360
Singer came over to help me with something and then

148
00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:14.199
like we were going to get lunch or something, and

149
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.319
we went to the mall not even thinking like it's

150
00:07:17.399 --> 00:07:20.800
Black Friday. Yeah, And like once we got into the

151
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:24.279
line of cars to get in one of the entrances

152
00:07:24.360 --> 00:07:29.199
to the giant complex of the mall, I was like, wow,

153
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:31.000
there's a lot of people, but it still didn't dawn

154
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:32.000
on me like Black Friday.

155
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:32.399
Yeah.

156
00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.160
Once we got to the actual mall, like outside, and

157
00:07:36.839 --> 00:07:39.120
there were zero parking lots and you know there's probably

158
00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.920
ten thousand parking lots at that mall, zero parking spots.

159
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.240
I'm like, oh god, it's Black Friday. I'm like, we're

160
00:07:46.279 --> 00:07:49.519
going to get lunch at the mall on Black Friday.

161
00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:50.560
Like that's so dumb.

162
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.879
And what started happening was to try to get back out,

163
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.120
everybody's like honking at you. I'm like, bro, I can't

164
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:00.680
there's seventeen cars in front of me. I can't go anywhere.

165
00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:01.519
Where are you honking at me?

166
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:02.399
Exactly?

167
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:03.480
Yes?

168
00:08:03.519 --> 00:08:05.199
And then it stresses me out and I'm like, I

169
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.959
wasn't even in stressed before.

170
00:08:07.160 --> 00:08:08.079
Now I am you know what I mean?

171
00:08:08.160 --> 00:08:11.279
And everything is just delayed because you know, shout out

172
00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:13.319
to the postal service people, but like they have to

173
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:15.959
work over time, so then the male is more likely

174
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.720
to get lost and packages are delayed that you genuinely need.

175
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:20.879
Not even thinking about Christmas, and I'm just like, this

176
00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:22.040
is just terrible.

177
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.639
Like then you have the porch pirates and all that.

178
00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:29.759
Yes, and sometimes it's not even a present. It's just

179
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.360
like something that for my dog or whatever, like dog food.

180
00:08:32.440 --> 00:08:35.799
You know, it's I don't even know. It's just I'm

181
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.200
not like a hater, but when it comes to the holidays,

182
00:08:39.879 --> 00:08:44.840
I just do not feel any joy that they're promoting

183
00:08:45.519 --> 00:08:49.000
that they're promoting. And you know, maybe it's because of

184
00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.720
where I am or you know, who I associate myself with,

185
00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:54.879
But when I go out in public and try to

186
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.360
do things, I'm just I hear skimming in the background

187
00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:00.399
and I hear, you know, just honking like you said,

188
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.600
and it's like, oh my goodness, I don't even want

189
00:09:02.600 --> 00:09:03.960
to go out. I want to go out.

190
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.639
Damn. I want to cancel Christmas now. No, no, I

191
00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:15.679
don't merry Christmas. Everybody. Thanks for listening. Yeah you know what?

192
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:22.679
Yeah, all right, well that was a great intro to

193
00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.120
our Christmas episode.

194
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:26.159
Oh my god, you should put this at the end.

195
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.360
Or I mean, like, now that we've expressed our love

196
00:09:29.480 --> 00:09:32.879
for these Christmas movies, we actually hate it or I

197
00:09:32.919 --> 00:09:33.639
actually hate it.

198
00:09:34.799 --> 00:09:36.840
Do you have any cool Christmas traditions that you do?

199
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.440
I don't have nothing, really nothing. I don't have anything.

200
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:42.000
You don't like do something? Have something you do every year?

201
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:42.519
No?

202
00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:48.399
Just watch movies, like with your family or anything. No,

203
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.320
you guys have Christmas dinner or lunch.

204
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:53.799
Or breakfast or no?

205
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:56.000
Wait really yeah?

206
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:57.440
Do you not have a place to go you can

207
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:57.919
come to mind?

208
00:09:58.000 --> 00:09:59.919
What? Like? No, I have a house.

209
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:02.360
No. I didn't mean like you're homeless.

210
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.240
I mean like, do you have like a place to

211
00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:06.480
go have Christmas dinner or something.

212
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:09.399
No, Well, you're welcome to my house if you want.

213
00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:11.159
I'm having a thank you.

214
00:10:12.039 --> 00:10:13.639
It's white people food that I'm just telling you that

215
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.120
now because I, uh.

216
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.720
You know, I'm not a cook, so it is basic

217
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.000
well like mac and cheese. Well, yeah, we'll do they

218
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:27.600
want me to. I'm like, I'm like, you want me

219
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:28.440
to cook a turkey?

220
00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:31.120
That's a that's a bit on the expert side.

221
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:31.519
Yeah.

222
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:33.000
Yeah, so I don't know how this is going to

223
00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:35.320
turn out, but but we'll dore like turkey and all that.

224
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.519
Kind of stuff. But what about like Christmas morning? Do

225
00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:39.679
you guys exchange gifts?

226
00:10:40.120 --> 00:10:40.320
No?

227
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:42.960
Wait, are you serious?

228
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:47.679
I am serious? I mean, okay, listen. I come from

229
00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:52.200
an immigrant family. Yeah, so you know, I don't expect

230
00:10:52.279 --> 00:10:56.960
anything from them and vice versa, and so it's like

231
00:10:57.919 --> 00:11:02.120
they work hard and they don't have to show that

232
00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:04.080
to me on Christmas. And I've known that since I

233
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.799
was like and I take care of them throughout the

234
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.639
year too, So I feel like when I was younger,

235
00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.600
we didn't have the time to really focus on Christmas

236
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:20.240
because my parents were working vigorously to you know, help

237
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.480
maintain me and themselves. So the holidays didn't really have

238
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.720
an impact on me because they were just like every

239
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:30.360
other day, and I honestly wasn't sad about it as

240
00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.480
a kid because I don't know, I saw how hard

241
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.879
my mom and I were working, and I was very

242
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.519
grateful for it, but I just, I honestly was not.

243
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:40.200
I didn't take it any type of way as a child,

244
00:11:40.279 --> 00:11:43.600
and I still don't to this day. And you know,

245
00:11:43.759 --> 00:11:45.679
I'm glad that my parents didn't do it, actually, because

246
00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.639
then they would have been really stressed. But as I

247
00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:50.639
got older, it became that they were like, you're not

248
00:11:50.639 --> 00:11:52.799
a kid anymore, so we're not even going to try anything.

249
00:11:52.799 --> 00:11:54.360
And I was like, Okay, I get it, Like I'm

250
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:57.759
not upset about it, but I don't have anything like

251
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.639
that I do with them. And I'm also only child,

252
00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:05.799
so it's like, I don't it sounds sad, but I

253
00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:06.720
swear I'm fine.

254
00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.480
Well, I mean, I think the other thing is because

255
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:10.519
were your parents.

256
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:11.519
Are you first generation?

257
00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:17.000
Yeah, so your parents literally were working and or working,

258
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:21.080
you know, but especially with you as a baby, Amanda working.

259
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:27.480
Their essentially gift to you was survival at being in

260
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.879
a you know, a stable home and all that stuff,

261
00:12:29.919 --> 00:12:33.759
because that's what they had to do just to establish

262
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.919
themselves here. So you had a good place to live,

263
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:38.919
a roof over your head all that stuff, So that really.

264
00:12:38.759 --> 00:12:40.919
Is the gift, yeah, you know what I mean, their

265
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:41.519
gift to you.

266
00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:43.679
So and I also feel like that's the reason why

267
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:47.440
I'm not like so nostalgic over Christmas, because I just

268
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:50.039
think that I've experienced it a little differently than you

269
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.399
know a lot of the people that I know. And

270
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.320
I think that that's why I don't take to heart,

271
00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:57.360
you know, when I say I don't like Christmas or

272
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.320
I'm not a Christmas person. And of course I feel

273
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:02.960
a little bit weird because everyone is a writer or

274
00:13:02.960 --> 00:13:06.159
die for Christmas, it seems like, but I just think

275
00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:08.600
of it as another holiday. But that's because of my

276
00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:12.240
life experiences and how I was raised. So I respect

277
00:13:12.240 --> 00:13:14.320
what other people you know, say and how they feel

278
00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:17.080
because I know kids who or I know people who

279
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.159
were kids and Christmas was the biggest thing for them

280
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.720
and it was a time where friend they got together

281
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.399
and they cherished that because they didn't see them. So

282
00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:24.480
it's like I shout out to you, like I love

283
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.320
you for I love that for you, you know. But

284
00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:28.919
as for me and my household, we ain't do none

285
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:32.600
of that. But it's not like it was fine though,

286
00:13:32.600 --> 00:13:34.519
Like that's what worked, Like my parents instead took me

287
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:36.919
to like Disney, you know, for like a year, they'll

288
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.840
took me to like Universal, So it's like yeah. So

289
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.360
it's like they worked hard and they like gave me

290
00:13:43.440 --> 00:13:46.600
presents throughout the year that were like big ones. Yeah,

291
00:13:47.039 --> 00:13:49.639
and it's like by the time Christmas came, I was like,

292
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.960
as a child, I was satisfied, you know, I was like, Okay,

293
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.840
I don't got all presents. That's fine. I'm in Florida

294
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.720
right now, you know what I mean. But so yeah,

295
00:13:57.720 --> 00:14:00.399
I think that's I don't have any traditions. I don't

296
00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.639
have anything, but I don't feel like I need them.

297
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.759
Yeah. Well I also feel like soul now because I'm like, what,

298
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:07.000
you don't do anything.

299
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.120
I get it came over from you know, to America,

300
00:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.200
and basically their Christmas present was my survival.

301
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:20.120
Thank you, Kyle. I'm such a no like.

302
00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:22.480
I get it, though, Like I do not think it's

303
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:25.919
a heart. I really don't. Like I understand everyone's life

304
00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:30.039
is different, like their experiences, so it's like I would

305
00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.360
feel trash talking about Christmas to like, you know, one

306
00:14:32.399 --> 00:14:34.360
of those less fortunate kids that isn't like a third

307
00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.440
world country, right you know. So it's like I'm very grateful,

308
00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:41.919
you know that I get to experience just this, you know,

309
00:14:42.440 --> 00:14:45.360
this peaceful you know, world that we live in are

310
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:47.039
not really peaceful, but like you know what I mean

311
00:14:47.320 --> 00:14:49.799
compared to what the world is going through some parts,

312
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:55.840
but I just feel like I'm fine and I'm surviving. Yeah,

313
00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:56.480
and I'm here.

314
00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.519
Well, you are welcome to come over on Christmas if

315
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.240

Oh my god, thank you of.

322

Course, because that's what Christmas is about for me, you know,

my mom and dad, but especially my mom and my

324
00:15:23.759 --> 00:15:24.360
whole family.

325
00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:26.720
Christmas is always a production. And I don't mean that

326
00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:27.480
in a bad way.

327
00:15:27.559 --> 00:15:30.240
I mean, like, so I would wake up and we

328
00:15:30.240 --> 00:15:32.679
would do presents, and my mom always overdid it.

329
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:34.559
Just because that's how she was.

330
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:39.919
We would open presents and then she would make like

331
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:43.960
a Christmas like breakfast, and then my Aunt Kathy and

332
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:47.600
like whoever would come over for like Christmas breakfast and

333
00:15:47.679 --> 00:15:51.039
we would all do presents. Then you know, everybody would

334
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:54.200
go back home, and then my mom would have Christmas

335
00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:57.600
dinner where everybody came in over cool. So yeah, so

336
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:01.600
it was like really cool tradition and and it's something

337
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.120
that I love. And now that my mom passed, I'm

338
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:05.840
holding Christmas dinner.

339
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:06.279
At my house.

340
00:16:06.639 --> 00:16:12.159
And so my house, our house was always filled with everybody, neighbors, friends,

341
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:12.919
blah blah blah.

342
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:14.879
It was like, Oh, you don't have a place to go,

343
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:16.320
You're coming to our house, you know what I mean?

344
00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:17.559
Like a community centers.

345
00:16:17.679 --> 00:16:20.360
Yeah, exactly, And that's how I want my house to be.

346
00:16:20.840 --> 00:16:25.440
You know, somebody I invited a relative and they were like, oh,

347
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:28.840
well I might go to my aunts or whatever because

348
00:16:28.840 --> 00:16:31.200
she doesn't have anywhere to go. I'm like, then bring

349
00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.000
your aunt to my house.

350
00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.200
Like what you know what I mean? Yeah, Like, no,

351
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:38.759
there's never for me at my house.

352
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.399
There's always a seat at the table, not literally because

353
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.480
the table only seats for but there's a seat. There's

354
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:49.080
a seat in my house for you. Yeah. And food,

355
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:51.000
Like I would rather have way too much food and

356
00:16:51.039 --> 00:16:55.159
everybody takes some home then not enough. So that is

357
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:59.559
what ultimately I learned from my mom and my grandmother,

358
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.879
My mom and my grandma, and and you know, my family.

359
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:06.039
My entire family has always been like that. So that's

360
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:09.279
what Christmas especially means to me. It's like, not just

361
00:17:09.519 --> 00:17:13.240
like I love giving gifts, but I also love sharing.

362
00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:14.880
Time with people I love, you know what I mean.

363
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:18.279
Yeah? So anyway, well now I feel like why because

364
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.880
I'm Chris, was in your life, but it reminds me

365
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.880
of my family, and I'm like, well.

366
00:17:22.799 --> 00:17:26.680
No, The thing is it is. What we're both showing

367
00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:29.359
is that it is individual. Yeah, you know what I mean.

368
00:17:29.440 --> 00:17:32.440
It is based on These are based on my experiences

369
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.319
growing up in my worldview. Yours are based on your

370
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:36.920
experiences and your worldview.

371
00:17:37.440 --> 00:17:39.880
That's why you know we have.

372
00:17:39.799 --> 00:17:43.000
Two different views on it because we came from two

373
00:17:43.039 --> 00:17:46.279
different backgrounds on it. Yeah, and that's cool though, I mean,

374
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:49.680
you know sos different.

375
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:51.079
Thank you? That was the word I was looking for.

376
00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:57.559
Why Why?

377
00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:08.119
So all right, so we have to explain to you guys.

378
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:11.319
We have to explain to you listening that we got

379
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:12.960
called for a lunch.

380
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:18.319
Here at the station.

381
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:25.640
So we went to lunch and explained this. We went

382
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.359
to lunch and it was a client lunch and we

383
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.279
love St Anne's Grill. Shout out to St Anne's Grill

384
00:18:30.359 --> 00:18:32.680

385
00:18:32.960 --> 00:18:35.319
And they have a very special drink venu.

386
00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:39.039
Oh yes they do. It's very special. Indeed.

387
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:43.920
I got the sugar cookie Margarita.

388
00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:48.839
You got the cremberlet cremble Martini Martini.

389
00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:52.200
That's w I met Martini, Yes, Martini.

390
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:54.359
Something about that Martini Martini.

391
00:18:54.799 --> 00:19:00.519
I don't know why I'm writing with that. I just

392
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:01.079
wrote it in my.

393
00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:21.119
TV. I mean exceptional, mine had it did. I was jealous.

394
00:19:21.680 --> 00:19:23.680
I was jealous over that I got mine, and I

395
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:27.279
was like, where's my freaking fancy stuff. Just put some

396
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.000
grated sugar on and I was like, oh no, I

397
00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:33.039
wanted designed, but I didn't want to be that Karen.

398
00:19:34.319 --> 00:19:37.720
But I was kind of disappointed. It was still so

399
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.880
freaking delicious though.

400
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:40.000
Did it taste like cumberlet?

401
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.000
Oh yeah, it tasted so good, so good. I was like, yeah,

402
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:50.519
I won the sugar so bad. But I knew. I

403
00:19:53.240 --> 00:19:55.759
knew he had a dubacco drafter and I was like,

404
00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:17.799
I'm not gonna do that. I'm glad. Okay, oh boy, okay, okay, okay.

405
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.680
So suffice to say we may sound different than.

406
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.039
We did before you don't comment on it. We know,

407
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:30.880
you know, we know, Okay.

408
00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:32.480
We just wanted to get the elephant out of the

409
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:33.640
room or whatever.

410
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:38.720
Because we are.

411
00:20:42.440 --> 00:20:46.640
How are they all quiet and like normal the last

412
00:20:46.680 --> 00:20:47.920
segment and now they.

413
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.920
Crashed out so bad. At my table, I was so quiet,

414
00:20:52.000 --> 00:20:55.720
like locking in. I was like, oh my god, I

415
00:20:55.839 --> 00:20:56.880
feel it. Well.

416
00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.279
What's funny is like I was trying to like sip

417
00:21:00.359 --> 00:21:03.319
throughout the meal, so I was like pacing myself. But

418
00:21:03.400 --> 00:21:06.640
then at the end, like there was so much left

419
00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:08.880
in my cop that I had to drink it all

420
00:21:08.920 --> 00:21:11.480
really quick. And that was the wrong decision too.

421
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.880
So No, I chowed that thing down like with a

422
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:18.400
five minutes, and I thought like, if I drink it

423
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:20.160
fast enough, it will wear off by time I go

424
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:24.880
back to the studio. No, that thing, I don't even

425
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:25.799
know what it was there.

426
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:29.160
It was very strong, good, very very strong.

427
00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:33.559
I was like Jesus Christ, speaking of.

428
00:21:33.559 --> 00:21:42.400
Jesus Christ, this is the Christmas episode. Thank you for

429
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:43.720
that lovely introduction.

430
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:52.319
Oh my god, oh my god, my stomach's gonna be

431
00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:55.960
like yo, yeah, don't come back, don't come.

432
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.799
Back here or come back every day one or the other.

433
00:21:58.880 --> 00:22:01.759
Oh yeah, maybe we should do Pop Culture weekly drunk

434
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:02.359
every week.

435
00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:04.079
I'm not opposed to that.

436
00:22:04.160 --> 00:22:04.960
It's like more fun.

437
00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:12.759
We should get an uber next time we did, Yes,

438
00:22:12.799 --> 00:22:19.480
we did. That's how drunk I am. Remember the uber.

439
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.160
Oh my god, shout out the whole day. Thank you

440
00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:23.480

All right? Should we take a break for a second?

449
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:07.680
I think so.

450
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:14.000
Okay, let's take a break. Okay. So we've taken a

451
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:19.079

00:23:29.519 --> 00:23:39.279
four cups. I don't know why, but that's okay.

455
00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:40.680
It's perfectly fun.

456
00:23:41.519 --> 00:23:42.799
Okay, okay.

457
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:51.200

movies come every year, just like Santa. Yes, they do,

464
00:24:34.319 --> 00:24:45.480
and some of them are beloveds classics. I'm so sorry

465
00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:48.960
for you to listen to this. We did not mean

466
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:53.240
to drink crimberlet and sugar cookie martinis at the work

467
00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:58.200
lunch and then have to work. I thought, you know,

468
00:24:58.519 --> 00:25:01.119
you could have an adult during cannot be trash, but

469
00:25:01.160 --> 00:25:06.359
clearly we're lightly Yeah in any event, So.

470
00:25:11.799 --> 00:25:15.839
What is your favorite Christmas movie?

471
00:25:15.920 --> 00:25:17.920
Yes, let's start with your one of them.

472
00:25:19.160 --> 00:25:21.160
I'm gonna say the classic Home Alone.

473
00:25:21.279 --> 00:25:23.960
Home Alone is such a classic Christmas movie.

474
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:26.599
I feel like that's everyone's favorite Christmas movie, as it

475
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:29.279
should be because it's one of the best.

476
00:25:29.680 --> 00:25:30.880
How about Home Alone too?

477
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.000
I love that one equally just as much.

478
00:25:33.119 --> 00:25:35.720
Yeah, me too, And that's rare for a sequel to like.

479
00:25:35.799 --> 00:25:36.640
Extremely rare.

480
00:25:36.759 --> 00:25:37.799
Yeah, And I love.

481
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:39.839
That it's in New York, and I feel almost that

482
00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:41.680
one's even more Christmasy.

483
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:42.960
Than Honestly Alone, I love New York.

484
00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:46.519
Yeah, so it's like, yeah, I love that.

485
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:49.920
So I grew up with Home Alone, same, and I

486
00:25:50.039 --> 00:25:52.559
used to watch it all the time, not even during

487
00:25:52.640 --> 00:25:55.200
Christmas time sometimes, like it's just a movie that I

488
00:25:55.200 --> 00:25:57.880
feel like, yes, it's geared to Christmas, but you can

489
00:25:57.920 --> 00:25:59.720
watch it whenever you want. It's a funny movie.

490
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:00.279
Yeah.

491
00:26:00.440 --> 00:26:06.519
I love Marv and Harry. Yes, they're so funny, and

492
00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:11.799
I just think that watching them as an adult, like now,

493
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:16.319
it's just even funnier because you're, like, dude, especially the

494
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:19.200
second one where they just got a what prison, Yeah,

495
00:26:19.440 --> 00:26:23.640
and it's like they're just still doing the most bizarre

496
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:26.960
stuff and it's just, oh, I don't even know. I

497
00:26:27.039 --> 00:26:31.200
just love Home Alone. I love the whole entire storyline,

498
00:26:31.319 --> 00:26:32.960
and it's just so funny to me.

499
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:36.160
Yeah, it's interesting they never made a third because like

500
00:26:37.319 --> 00:26:39.759
the second one was equally successful, so like why not

501
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:42.000
make a third? I mean, now, now it'd have to

502
00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:44.559
be like it'd be interesting to have him as like

503
00:26:44.599 --> 00:26:46.880
a forty five year old or however old he is now,

504
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:51.160
like being home alone and Marv and Harry come back

505
00:26:51.240 --> 00:26:52.119
or like find him.

506
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:55.039
What, Like are they like in nursing homes by the.

507
00:26:57.640 --> 00:26:59.599
Just because they're like in their seventies or something.

508
00:27:00.440 --> 00:27:03.200
Could you imagine a seven year old like Burker?

509
00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:04.519
Why not?

510
00:27:05.599 --> 00:27:07.640
I mean they're gonna bring a hip gig into the window.

511
00:27:09.599 --> 00:27:11.880
I mean, did you see how much damage they went through?

512
00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.319
And the first and second one that's true. Once the

513
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:19.920
fir had been gone one fault, the credits come in.

514
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:23.799
Maybe it's their sons.

515
00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:27.720
Well that now we're talking. Now we're talking their Wait,

516
00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:30.720
it could be Kevin's son, and Kevin leaves his son

517
00:27:30.759 --> 00:27:32.000
home alone by accident.

518
00:27:32.759 --> 00:27:36.000
True, but I feel like Kevin has so much trauma

519
00:27:36.799 --> 00:27:38.680
from being left twice by his own.

520
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:40.759
Parents, and he'll do like a Lori strode.

521
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:50.279
Michael, So he's gonna murder the family.

522
00:27:51.799 --> 00:27:57.079
Talk about you know how Laurie was prepared for Michael

523
00:27:57.599 --> 00:28:00.519
and Halloween twenty eighteen, Yes, and how she was like

524
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:04.359
this assassin type lady like Kevin could be that.

525
00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:07.400
Oh that's true, right, Yeah, he could be training the

526
00:28:07.480 --> 00:28:08.720
last like twenty years.

527
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:17.559
Yes, and they show up in their like dementia. They're

528
00:28:17.599 --> 00:28:21.799
only seventy Jesus, isn't that when that kind of stuff starts.

529
00:28:21.839 --> 00:28:24.680
I don't know, but I feel like that's like Shaer

530
00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:26.799
and Dolly partner, like in their seventies, they still go

531
00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:27.720
on tour and stuff.

532
00:28:28.559 --> 00:28:31.279
That's true, but I don't know, but I'm talking about

533
00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:35.039
regular people, normal people.

534
00:28:35.000 --> 00:28:38.640
Right, Yes, I don't know, but anyway, yes, I think

535
00:28:38.680 --> 00:28:42.799
that'll be a cool plot. So Home Alone makers, you know,

536
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:45.640
you can have that for free. I think one of mine.

537
00:28:45.680 --> 00:28:48.079
Actually Home Alone and Home Alone two were on my list,

538
00:28:48.440 --> 00:28:52.400
but one of mine would be The Santa Claus with

539
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:56.039
Tim Hallan Allen, I mean Alan Tim Allen. That is

540
00:28:56.079 --> 00:28:58.559
such a classic movie. It's like one that I grew

541
00:28:58.599 --> 00:29:04.440
up with. It's fun, it's like heartwarming, it's Christmas Eve,

542
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.240
It's just like all the Christmas things. And that's one

543
00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:08.519
that I try to watch every year.

544
00:29:08.720 --> 00:29:10.039
Yeah, I do like that one.

545
00:29:10.839 --> 00:29:11.759
There's are your thoughts?

546
00:29:12.920 --> 00:29:16.039
That's it. I'm trying. Well, I never watched it.

547
00:29:16.559 --> 00:29:17.559
Oh you seen it?

548
00:29:17.640 --> 00:29:18.680
No, I never watched it.

549
00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:20.680
Why didn't you say that?

550
00:29:20.799 --> 00:29:24.000
Okay, Like I've never watched the movie. But it's that

551
00:29:24.079 --> 00:29:26.319
thing where it's like I know the whole plot. Yeah,

552
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:29.240
I've seen so many scenes from it. Yeah that it's like,

553
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:31.359
even though I've never sat there and watched it front

554
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:34.119
to back, I know basically everything that happens.

555
00:29:34.240 --> 00:29:34.759
Yeah.

556
00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.960
So it's like I do like it, but I feel

557
00:29:37.960 --> 00:29:40.640
like since I haven't watched it, I don't count to

558
00:29:40.759 --> 00:29:44.319
like voice my opinion. Watched it, but I like the

559
00:29:44.359 --> 00:29:45.559
one with Jack Frost in it.

560
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:47.640
Oh, I think that's part three.

561
00:29:47.759 --> 00:29:50.240
I love that one. Now that's one that I did watch.

562
00:29:50.359 --> 00:29:53.759
You've yeah, I don't think i've seen like the first one, okay,

563
00:29:54.079 --> 00:29:56.720
but I love the Jack Frost one where he's in

564
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:01.039
it because I used to be you know, never mind

565
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.319
nothing nothing nothing, nothing, nothing nothing. I don't even know

566
00:30:07.880 --> 00:30:10.759
that nothing nothing.

567
00:30:10.960 --> 00:30:12.440
I used to be Jack Frown.

568
00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:12.559
No.

569
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:16.960
Oh, just really quick.

570
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.720
There's a series called Santa Claus that continues the story

571
00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:23.400
on Disney Plus. I haven't watched it yet, but I

572
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:25.960
figured I would before Christmas is here.

573
00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:27.119
Okay, we're running.

574
00:30:26.839 --> 00:30:29.519
Out of time, Okay, already, Yeah.

575
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:31.559
Just sneaks up.

576
00:30:31.799 --> 00:30:38.880
Yeah. My other Christmas movie that I like is Jingle

577
00:30:38.920 --> 00:30:42.799
All the Way. Oh my god, I watched it last night.

578
00:30:42.880 --> 00:30:44.839
So I watched it two nights ago. Yeah, it was

579
00:30:44.839 --> 00:30:45.359
on Pluto.

580
00:30:45.599 --> 00:30:47.960
I love that movie. I actually found out that that's

581
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.480
my dad's favorite movie, and I was like, this is

582
00:30:52.519 --> 00:30:53.960
your favorite movie, net and he was like, yeah, I

583
00:30:54.000 --> 00:30:55.559
love that movie. I watched that movie all the time.

584
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:58.319
And I'm like, I've never seen you watch it. I

585
00:30:58.359 --> 00:30:59.839
know he watches it, but like I don't see him

586
00:30:59.839 --> 00:31:02.559
watch shit frequently. I was kind of shocked, and so

587
00:31:02.640 --> 00:31:04.839
I watched it and my sister watched it for the

588
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:06.799
first time with me last night, because my dad has

589
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.559
this thing where he just puts on movies on the

590
00:31:08.599 --> 00:31:11.400
TV and just walks up the living room. I don't know,

591
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:14.000
I don't know why he just does. And me and

592
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:16.200
my sister were downstairs and it was on, and she

593
00:31:16.279 --> 00:31:18.319
was like, I've never seen this movie before. And I said,

594
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:20.920
you've never seen Jingle all the way and she was

595
00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:23.519
like no, and I said, Okay, we gotta we gotta

596
00:31:23.519 --> 00:31:26.519
lock in right now. Yeah, And we studied at the

597
00:31:26.559 --> 00:31:31.000
part where the Turmoman door had just sold out, so

598
00:31:31.039 --> 00:31:32.599
it was like the beginning of the movie. So I

599
00:31:32.680 --> 00:31:34.160
told her a quick backstory and now I was like,

600
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:36.640
I'm not rewinding, like you want to watch it, you know.

601
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:40.119
And I just freaking love that movie. And I'm watching

602
00:31:40.119 --> 00:31:41.680
this and like it's so nostalgic for me because i

603
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.200
grew up watching that movie as well. But now that

604
00:31:44.279 --> 00:31:48.000
I'm an adult, yes, movie is like freaking lit.

605
00:31:48.200 --> 00:31:50.480
Now. What was cool was on Pluto TV, which you

606
00:31:50.519 --> 00:31:51.000
know is free.

607
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:54.079
I love Pluto, just like watching like the old tv

608
00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:56.440
ye like back in the day, because it's just like

609
00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.160
plays things you don't choose. So after that, Jin All

610
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:02.680
the Way two came on. Oh really, Yeah, have you

611
00:32:02.680 --> 00:32:03.240
ever seen that?

612
00:32:03.480 --> 00:32:06.160
No, it stars Larry the Cable Guy.

613
00:32:06.480 --> 00:32:07.799
Okay, you know who he is. Yeah.

614
00:32:07.839 --> 00:32:10.480
That was a that came out in twenty fourteen. It

615
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:14.599
was direct to video at the time, and it is

616
00:32:14.759 --> 00:32:17.400
really just like a sequel name only it doesn't star

617
00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:22.599
Arnold Schwarzenegger or anything. But the plot is Larry is

618
00:32:22.640 --> 00:32:28.599
a truck driver and he's basically competing with his ex

619
00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.440
wife's new husband to be like the best dad, which

620
00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:34.720
one is the best dad for Christmas? So he's trying

621
00:32:34.759 --> 00:32:40.039
to get his daughter this toy Harrison Bear that she

622
00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:44.319
really wants, Okay, and then it's really hard to get

623
00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:47.559
and they keep disappearing, like from stores and stuff. It's

624
00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:51.000
really funny. Yeah, and way better than I thought it

625
00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:51.359
would be.

626
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:58.319
Yeah, when I watched it yesterday, No, you're fine. Oh

627
00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:01.799
my god, he's just so freaking hilarious. I'm just thinking

628
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:02.880
about it.

629
00:33:02.960 --> 00:33:04.160
Oh, there was nothing you were gonna say.

630
00:33:04.440 --> 00:33:10.640
Oh, I mean I did like the part. Probably one

631
00:33:10.640 --> 00:33:12.400
of my favorite parts of the whole movie is like

632
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:14.160
when they call in the radio to get the trible

633
00:33:14.200 --> 00:33:16.519
man dole, and I feel like I work in radio,

634
00:33:16.960 --> 00:33:20.079
so it's interesting. It was interesting to see that and

635
00:33:20.119 --> 00:33:22.519
how he called and how when he went into the

636
00:33:22.599 --> 00:33:26.200
actual studio, like he like busted the door down, and

637
00:33:26.240 --> 00:33:29.079
I just started laughing so hard because I was imagining

638
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:33.000
myself as the radio person because we work in that industry.

639
00:33:33.559 --> 00:33:35.000
And I was like, I don't even know what I

640
00:33:35.000 --> 00:33:39.799
would do for a call or just busted down the

641
00:33:39.839 --> 00:33:42.000
glass and I was saying for a thrill man doll,

642
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:45.960
and it was just so interesting to see and then

643
00:33:46.000 --> 00:33:48.559
it was just so freaking hilarious, cracking up. I had

644
00:33:48.599 --> 00:33:50.720
tears in my eyes, and my sister's just watching this

645
00:33:50.799 --> 00:33:52.880
for the first time, like do you watch? What do

646
00:33:52.880 --> 00:33:55.400
you make me watch? And I'm just like, this is comedy, Yeah,

647
00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.720
this is this is film, Like you know, I was

648
00:33:58.839 --> 00:33:59.799
very passionate.

649
00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.200
About it, very passionate about it.

650
00:34:01.240 --> 00:34:04.920
But yeah, I just love that movie so much, you know,

651
00:34:05.039 --> 00:34:07.839
and it just it's one of the rare movies that

652
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:12.760
I feel like makes me nostalgic, okay, you know, because

653
00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.119
I don't really have many movies where I'm like nostalgia,

654
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.320
Like no, right, no, no, but that's one of the few,

655
00:34:18.800 --> 00:34:27.079
so I'm just like, it's so nice.

656
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:30.599
All right.

657
00:34:30.840 --> 00:34:33.960
So one for me is the Grinch, not like the

658
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.360
one from like the sixties or whatever, the recent one

659
00:34:37.519 --> 00:34:40.000
like with Jim No no, no, not that one either,

660
00:34:40.159 --> 00:34:42.440
like the cartoon that came.

661
00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:44.760
Out the animated Grinch, yes.

662
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:48.840
In twenty eighteen from Universal and Illumination.

663
00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:51.239
Oh he looks like the Lorax character.

664
00:34:51.440 --> 00:34:55.719
Yes, yeah, yeah, I love that version so much.

665
00:34:56.000 --> 00:34:57.920
It's like really funny.

666
00:34:57.920 --> 00:35:03.800
Parrell Pharrell was in it, and Benedict cumber Patch, Rashida Jones,

667
00:35:03.880 --> 00:35:06.360
Keenan Thompson, Angela Lansbar.

668
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:06.880
It's big names.

669
00:35:07.000 --> 00:35:10.519
Yeah, Danny Elfman did the music, which I love him.

670
00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:13.559
But I love that version so much. I don't know why.

671
00:35:13.639 --> 00:35:17.239
I think because it goes into more like developing the

672
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:20.320
character like more than the other ones. Because the book

673
00:35:20.360 --> 00:35:23.719
is what like twelve pages, and then like the special

674
00:35:24.000 --> 00:35:26.920
like from like the original animated one from like the

675
00:35:27.039 --> 00:35:30.199
fifties or whatever, is like eighteen minutes or something.

676
00:35:30.360 --> 00:35:30.760
Geez.

677
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:33.960
Yeah, it's like super short. And then the Grinch who

678
00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.000
Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey. Yeah, and then this one,

679
00:35:37.079 --> 00:35:39.039
like I don't know, I just really love this one

680
00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:39.320
a lot.

681
00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.000
Yeah, it's your movie, it's your thing. Yeah, there's nothing

682
00:35:42.039 --> 00:35:42.480
wrong with that.

683
00:35:42.599 --> 00:35:44.159
Have you seen that one?

684
00:35:44.440 --> 00:35:47.840
No, but you know what I'm not. You know, I'm

685
00:35:47.840 --> 00:35:48.480
not opposed.

686
00:35:48.599 --> 00:35:50.519
Okay, you should. You should add that to your list.

687
00:35:50.679 --> 00:35:53.079
I have to add the original to my list. I've

688
00:35:53.079 --> 00:35:54.360
never seen any Grinch movie.

689
00:35:54.599 --> 00:35:57.639
None of the Grinch movies. No, oh my god. Okay, yes,

690
00:35:57.760 --> 00:35:59.679
you have to add them all. You should go in

691
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.000
order they were made too, that'll be interesting.

692
00:36:02.079 --> 00:36:06.360
Yeah, the original animated one, then the Jim Carry one,

693
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:06.920
and then.

694
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:07.679
The new one.

695
00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:09.760
Because every time I think about the Grinch, I mean,

696
00:36:09.960 --> 00:36:13.199
everyone's mind goes to the Jim Carry one. Yeah, because

697
00:36:13.239 --> 00:36:15.480
you know, I've It's a movie I haven't sat down

698
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:18.800
and seen, but I've seen so many scenes from it. Yeah,

699
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.199
and I like, you know, I know the storyline.

700
00:36:21.400 --> 00:36:21.840
Yeah.

701
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:24.320
For that one, I just felt like it was just

702
00:36:24.360 --> 00:36:26.119
with the costume and all. I don't know, I just

703
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:28.159
felt it was kind of corny. I mean, I love

704
00:36:28.239 --> 00:36:30.519
Jim Carrey, but it was just a little bit cringey.

705
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:31.559
Yeah, for that one.

706
00:36:31.599 --> 00:36:33.840
It's kind of funny though all the memes I see.

707
00:36:33.800 --> 00:36:36.280
Yeah, yeah, I mean it's fun for memes, but like

708
00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:39.360
I don't know, but my favorite is this the twenty

709
00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:40.159
eighteen version.

710
00:36:40.280 --> 00:36:42.280
Yeah, but what's your next one?

711
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.519
My next one? It's not one of my favorites, but

712
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:48.239
it's the most recent Christmas movie that I saw.

713
00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:50.639
What this is supposed to be a list of your

714
00:36:50.639 --> 00:36:51.559
favorite Christmas viees.

715
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:53.920
I mean, it's a good one. It's a good one.

716
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:57.679
I liked. Okay, it was red one. I saw it too.

717
00:36:57.840 --> 00:36:59.119
It was so freaking good.

718
00:36:59.239 --> 00:36:59.880
Yeah.

719
00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:02.000
I did not expect to like it as much as

720
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:05.239
I did. Number one. I walked out of a theater

721
00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.599
and I thought, why in the world was everyone so

722
00:37:07.800 --> 00:37:12.519
freaking buff? Yeah, like everyone Santa Claus buff. Yeah, his

723
00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:16.039
brother was buff Duayne Johnson's. But I'm like, my god,

724
00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:19.840
this is like Santa Claus story on I don't even

725
00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:24.480
know steroids. Everyone was so freaking buff, And I was like, okay.

726
00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:28.119
Number one. I did not expect the storytelling to be

727
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:29.079
as good as.

728
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.719
It was, either, did I.

729
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:34.199
I thought that it was like such a unique story

730
00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.199
and I just was looking at the movie and thinking

731
00:37:37.239 --> 00:37:38.960
to myself, this is actually not half bad.

732
00:37:39.159 --> 00:37:42.119
No, it really was, like I really enjoyed it. My

733
00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.159
friend wanted to see it, and we hadn't hung out

734
00:37:44.199 --> 00:37:46.639
in a while, and he was like, let's go see

735
00:37:46.679 --> 00:37:48.159
I think we're gonna see Venom and then it was

736
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:49.400
like out of the theater, so it was like, let's

737
00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:52.039
go see Red One and I was like whatever, I'm

738
00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:54.119
just going to hang out with him basically, and I

739
00:37:54.199 --> 00:37:55.559
have Regal unlimited.

740
00:37:55.199 --> 00:37:57.199
So that's literally. I was like, I'm not even excited

741
00:37:57.199 --> 00:37:58.719
for this movie. I'm just gonna watch this to watch it.

742
00:37:58.760 --> 00:38:01.039
And I walked out like, yeah, it's so good.

743
00:38:01.239 --> 00:38:03.840
Yeah, yes, I loved it. It is one, you know,

744
00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:05.800
and it is one that I would revisit again.

745
00:38:06.239 --> 00:38:08.239
I do like that one, and I feel as though

746
00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:10.039
a lot of people didn't like it, but I like

747
00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:12.960
all the movies that people hate. So I walked out

748
00:38:12.960 --> 00:38:14.400
of the theater and I was like, I know the

749
00:38:14.480 --> 00:38:16.039
general public gonna hate this one.

750
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:19.480
Yeah, And I was right, you know, I like critically panned.

751
00:38:19.679 --> 00:38:21.880
Yeah, And I was like, that's how I know I

752
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:22.239
like it.

753
00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:24.880
Yeah, yeah, all right.

754
00:38:24.960 --> 00:38:30.199
So my next one is another classic a Christmas story.

755
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:32.000
You've seen this one is that the.

756
00:38:32.079 --> 00:38:35.920
Guy, like the old guy that has like the dress

757
00:38:36.840 --> 00:38:41.480
what and the hat with the little thing. I have

758
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.400
no idea what you're talking about he has a little hat.

759
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:47.159
He has like a lit little lamp thing that he

760
00:38:47.320 --> 00:38:52.880
like goes out. He's old. Oh he gets out of bed.

761
00:38:53.280 --> 00:38:55.199
You're talking about a Christmas carol?

762
00:38:55.480 --> 00:38:56.199
Is that what you just said?

763
00:38:56.360 --> 00:39:00.000
No, Christmas story? Christmas story. I thought you're talking about

764
00:39:00.119 --> 00:39:03.320
the leg lamp. Oh no, the lamp that's shaped like

765
00:39:03.360 --> 00:39:04.079
a woman's leg.

766
00:39:04.599 --> 00:39:09.079
No, sorry, no, you're fine.

767
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.639
So Christmas Stories from nineteen eighty three is based on

768
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.360
a book actually called and God We Trust All Others

769
00:39:15.440 --> 00:39:20.679
Pay Cash by Jeane Shepherd and it stars Melinda Dylon,

770
00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:25.280
Darren McGavin, Peter Billingsley, And it's from MGM.

771
00:39:26.079 --> 00:39:30.280
It is a Christmas classic. For me, it's the one

772
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:30.679
that's like.

773
00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:33.440
We'll shoot you ray out. I mean, you'll shoot your

774
00:39:33.519 --> 00:39:33.960
ry out.

775
00:39:34.199 --> 00:39:35.159
Do you know what I'm talking about?

776
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:35.280
No?

777
00:39:35.480 --> 00:39:40.519
Oh, then it's like Fredziele. Wait, am I combining to movies?

778
00:39:41.480 --> 00:39:42.599
Am I combining to No?

779
00:39:42.800 --> 00:39:45.039
No, I don't even know what you're talking about.

780
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:47.079
Christmas?

781
00:39:47.559 --> 00:39:48.079
What is that?

782
00:39:49.119 --> 00:39:52.039
This is the lamp I thought you were talking about.

783
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:55.880
Oh that's weird. What in the world?

784
00:39:57.239 --> 00:39:57.599
Hold on?

785
00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:00.400
So that's what it's called the Gloom?

786
00:40:00.519 --> 00:40:05.199
Yeah, yeah, so it is hysterical, it is old timey,

787
00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.360
so like it takes place in nineteen thirty nine and

788
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:15.320
it is hysterically funny and it's like heartwarming, And that

789
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:17.159
is one that I watch every single year.

790
00:40:17.519 --> 00:40:19.880
It's just a classic. Add that to your list too.

791
00:40:20.119 --> 00:40:23.079
Okay, with the Grinch all everything?

792
00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:27.719
Okay, what is your next one?

793
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:32.000
I'm not sure if this is a Christmas movie, but

794
00:40:32.119 --> 00:40:35.440
I watch it for during Christmas all the time because

795
00:40:35.480 --> 00:40:38.320
it's like a winter movie. Is Hands?

796
00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:40.960
I love everisusor Hands? And I was going back and

797
00:40:41.079 --> 00:40:43.400
forth on adding that I'm gonna add it for you.

798
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:44.599
I love that freaking movie.

799
00:40:44.639 --> 00:40:47.239
So it's a classic. And it's Tim Burton, who I love.

800
00:40:47.320 --> 00:40:48.199
I love Tim Burton.

801
00:40:48.320 --> 00:40:51.519
Yeah, Johnny Depp, I mean when on a rider like

802
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:53.440
it is such a classic movie.

803
00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:56.360
Why do you love it so much?

804
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:58.440
I mean it was Johnny Depp when he was young,

805
00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:07.519
like he was you know okay, and the story is good, I.

806
00:41:07.559 --> 00:41:13.039
Mean great insight when he was young, and the story's good.

807
00:41:15.079 --> 00:41:16.280
She was cool too.

808
00:41:16.639 --> 00:41:18.599
What reminds you of it being Christmas?

809
00:41:19.400 --> 00:41:24.679
Like the snow when he was like on you know

810
00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:26.480
how when he would do the ice sculptures and stuff

811
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:29.280
like that, and the snow like fall or whatever, And

812
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.039
wasn't it a Christmas story that her character was telling

813
00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:36.880
to her grandchildren or it was a story that she

814
00:41:37.079 --> 00:41:40.920
told them at night around Christmas time. So I think

815
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:45.119
that that's why it's like, you know, in my brain,

816
00:41:45.199 --> 00:41:48.440
it relates to Christmas, because she is telling a story

817
00:41:48.599 --> 00:41:54.000
around Christmas, you know, to her grandchildren. And so you know,

818
00:41:54.079 --> 00:41:55.920
when a movie ends and like it goes back to

819
00:41:56.039 --> 00:41:58.159
like the present time. I don't know, I just really

820
00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.960
loved it that move in that movie when I was

821
00:42:01.000 --> 00:42:04.079
a kid and all my friends used to be scared

822
00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:07.280
of really yeah, he was, I don't know. I mean

823
00:42:07.400 --> 00:42:09.639
I was in elementary school and nobody liked the movie.

824
00:42:11.519 --> 00:42:13.639
People were just kind of scared in him when I

825
00:42:13.800 --> 00:42:17.000
was little, and I kind of liked it him, like

826
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:18.679
he was kind of cool to me. I was like,

827
00:42:18.760 --> 00:42:21.280
do got switches for him? It's kind of dope, you know.

828
00:42:21.880 --> 00:42:25.599
And then I was reading into the storyline, you know,

829
00:42:25.679 --> 00:42:28.239
as an adult, and I'm not sure if this is

830
00:42:28.760 --> 00:42:32.280
accurate or not, but I know that Tim Burton, he

831
00:42:33.239 --> 00:42:37.840
has briefly stated that he's a little autistic and how

832
00:42:38.719 --> 00:42:42.880
he based the character Edward on someone who is kind

833
00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:47.440
of on that same spectrum and I rewatched a movie

834
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:49.239
with that in mind, and yes, you can kind of

835
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:51.960
tell because he doesn't talk that much. He's kind of like,

836
00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:54.559
you know, not nonverbal in the beginning a little bit

837
00:42:54.679 --> 00:42:57.679
or just barely speaking words. And it's kind of like

838
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:02.239
a movie about how society views people who are different

839
00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:04.960
in that way. And as an adult when I was

840
00:43:05.039 --> 00:43:07.800
watching it, you know, it kind of brought a little

841
00:43:07.880 --> 00:43:11.039
insight to me that, yeah, you know, this is kind

842
00:43:11.079 --> 00:43:13.159
of what people have to go through who are different,

843
00:43:13.239 --> 00:43:16.559
you know, who are classified as different from society. And

844
00:43:16.679 --> 00:43:19.239
how they instantly turned on him, you know, they were

845
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.480
looking at him like he was some type of spectacle

846
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:23.239
in the beginning. And you know, I'm sure that some

847
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:27.400
people who suffer with you know, that kind of challenges

848
00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:28.960
in their life probably feel the same way when people

849
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:31.840
look at them. And it was just kind of bizarre

850
00:43:31.960 --> 00:43:34.800
to me, you know, making that connection, and I just was,

851
00:43:35.719 --> 00:43:38.159
you know a little bit insightful for me to understand

852
00:43:38.199 --> 00:43:40.639
a little bit more about that character in a way

853
00:43:40.639 --> 00:43:44.000
that I couldn't understand when I was younger. I know.

854
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:45.960
So it went from Johnny Depp's Hot too.

855
00:43:46.599 --> 00:43:50.719
Yeah, Actually it's for I love it because of its

856
00:43:50.880 --> 00:43:52.920
representation of all the underrepresented.

857
00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.159
It's got to give me a minute to get my

858
00:43:56.320 --> 00:43:59.119
thoughts together because I'm like, yo, hold on.

859
00:43:59.440 --> 00:44:00.519
Okay, all right, cool.

860
00:44:01.239 --> 00:44:02.039
So my.

861
00:44:03.599 --> 00:44:06.199
Final one, I mean, I also love Elf, but my

862
00:44:06.480 --> 00:44:11.039

Oh my god, it's so funny.

881
00:44:55.559 --> 00:44:58.679
So I wanted to watch it for this podcast, but

882
00:44:58.960 --> 00:45:01.199
I was thinking to myself, I really want to wait

883
00:45:01.440 --> 00:45:03.679
to the I co experienced it for the first time

884
00:45:04.239 --> 00:45:06.360
in theaters because that's when you get the brig screen

885
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:10.960
and you get the surround, so it's like it's an experience. Yeah,

886
00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:13.320
so I really wanted to wait. But I knew you

887
00:45:13.400 --> 00:45:15.280
were gonna say it because I remember how passionate you

888
00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.519
were about it during the summertime, and I was like, man,

889
00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:21.559

890
00:45:21.639 --> 00:45:24.840

So it's like, you know, I don't know. I just

You have, No, not really, I wasn't gonna put the

924
00:47:01.280 --> 00:47:04.480
Polar Express when I hate that movie. Wait what the

925
00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:07.960
Polar Express? No, I don't know. I just think that

926
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:11.360
it's just kind of weird. It always gave me weird

927
00:47:11.480 --> 00:47:14.679
vibes when I was a kid. I don't know. It

928
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:19.559
was just the they look never mind what they just

929
00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.880
look so freaking weird. The characters like they look, I

930
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:27.800
don't want to say it, like creepers, like they look

931
00:47:28.239 --> 00:47:32.519
they just look weird. Yeah, and it's just the storyline

932
00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:34.960
is weird. I don't know. I hated that movie when

933
00:47:34.960 --> 00:47:37.760
I was a kid man. I used to die every

934
00:47:37.800 --> 00:47:40.360
time when my teacher would say, yeah, we're gonna put

935
00:47:40.360 --> 00:47:44.320
the Polar Express on for damn it. I hate that movie.

936
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:47.320
Well, what's weird is that, like the people look they

937
00:47:47.440 --> 00:47:50.960
just look creepy. Yeah, like they look real but not.

938
00:47:51.760 --> 00:47:52.719
It's just like off.

939
00:47:53.360 --> 00:47:55.880
I don't know what in the world that movie has

940
00:47:56.039 --> 00:47:59.880
on me, but it's just I don't find no spirit

941
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.239
in it. My only favorite scene from that movie is

942
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:06.480
probably the hot chocolate scene. I'm say something. The scene

943
00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:11.239
when he's in the toy the toy train gave me nightmare.

944
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:14.519
This is a kid really that scene. Hated that scene.

945
00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:16.360
You know, I see I'm talking about where he's in.

946
00:48:16.519 --> 00:48:18.559
He's like in the toy thing and it's picking up

947
00:48:18.599 --> 00:48:21.960
all these decaying toys and stuff, and the guy in

948
00:48:22.039 --> 00:48:24.199
the train in the in the in the front or

949
00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:27.559
whatever on top is screaming at him. Oh my gog,

950
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:31.800
how I used to myself or that scene that see

951
00:48:31.880 --> 00:48:34.440
and then and then everything's like grabbing them. I'm oh

952
00:48:34.599 --> 00:48:40.239
my god, that scene freaked me out.

953
00:48:41.000 --> 00:48:41.639
Oh my god.

954
00:48:42.159 --> 00:48:44.159
And then and then I used to get such high anxiety.

955
00:48:44.199 --> 00:48:47.159
I'm talking about the highest anxiety. When the train hit

956
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:49.840
the ice, oh my goodness, and it was doing like

957
00:48:49.920 --> 00:48:51.679
the left right. I was like, I can't do this.

958
00:48:51.800 --> 00:48:54.519
I cannot. I'm I'm like eight years old and through

959
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.639
right now, like I'm so stressed out for these people.

960
00:48:57.280 --> 00:49:00.679
I don't know. It was just such oh my goodness.

961
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:03.440
And then and then when the train like, ah, they're

962
00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:06.440
gonna die, so they're gonna there, it's over over, end

963
00:49:06.480 --> 00:49:11.159
credits right now, my goodness. And then that one kids

964
00:49:11.199 --> 00:49:16.559
slipped oh no, oh no, stressing me out running around

965
00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:19.440

and you are thinking the North Pole it's easily accessible

969
00:49:28.840 --> 00:49:32.800
for children. No, no, you know, it's just I hate

970
00:49:32.840 --> 00:49:36.519
that freaking movie. It's so many unnecessary stuff that goes on.

971
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:39.760
And then the end, Oh my god, that the freaking

972
00:49:39.800 --> 00:49:46.880

ride so heavy for this movie. Say something about this movie.

979
00:50:05.519 --> 00:50:09.199
I don't like it. I don't like it. I never

980
00:50:09.320 --> 00:50:14.320
did and never will. Oh my god, Like I was stupid.

981
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:18.599
The train scene as well. In the very beginning, they

982
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:21.840
ain't freak you as a kid. Everything's like rumbling, like

983
00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.960
when the train comes to get you as a kid.

984
00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:27.480
Remember what, Oh my god, I was over here like

the horns or whatever, you know, and then it's like,

989
00:50:40.400 --> 00:50:42.599
what the heck's going on? It's all right outside and

990
00:50:42.679 --> 00:50:47.679

991
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:51.320

1002
00:51:31.280 --> 00:51:33.400
I don't even know how to wrap after that. That

1003
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:38.920
is uh strong feelings for the Polar Express, which where

1004
00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:41.320
all of the money made from that movie went to

1005
00:51:42.079 --> 00:51:47.719
little orphans to help them. So yeah, you didn't know that. No,

1006
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:48.280
I'm joking.

1007
00:51:52.519 --> 00:52:00.760
Oh my god, Oh my god. Oh I still say
