It's 30 degrees out, which Idon't know that isn't Celsius,

like, almost zero Celsius, Ithink. Yeah, yeah. Well, don't

Okay, well, if it's too long, I'll

Murph (03:01):
play back the tape. I can't remember. But yeah, play
it back. Throw in a flag.

We don't have to tell you. I can't go right back
into it.

Murph (03:09):
Alright, that's fair.
Someone will know.

Thank you. Thank you fans. The comments will this
is welcome to a like I said avery special edition. We're
going to obviously we're gonnatalk a little bit about I guess
Christmas time and things thatwe do we we kind of talked about
a little bit of it. Yeah, I wantto go too into it though. I
wanted to get more of a I guessa Canadian take on it. Americans
you know what we do? That'sjust, I mean, either everything

(03:32):
inside unfortunately

Murph (03:33):
is gonna be very short one. I feel like the Canadians
don't do like a whole lotdifferently than Americans. But
I think it's more of a religionarea based thing for weather and
all that but I guess I will sayI feel like not every place but
most places in Canada obviouslythere's snow which I always love
snow during Christmas. But don'tknow why because then I usually

(03:54):
hate it after but no actuallyenjoy for a little bit after.
But yep, they usually have snow.
So it's kind of fun.

You know, it's always something to do. Right.
Exactly.

Murph (04:04):
I don't know. I guess like, like everywhere else
especially here like you saidwhen our last podcast like,
obviously like Catholicism,Roman Catholic, all that stuff.
There's big up there. So yeah,church is always big. They
really do. Unlike the US I guessthis is the one weird thing.
It's like Christmas really, butthey really love Boxing Day,
which I know is a big Europething too. Yes. But the same

(04:27):
thing Canada like boxing days abig thing there. So they will
they'll come over the border tothe US for boxing day. Which is
like the weirdest thing to melike yeah, I don't get it either
way. It's like such a I'm surewe could Google it and figure it
out. But I never understood why.
It's I talk about a commercialholiday. Like that's literally
what it was. I'm sure someone'sgonna Google it and be like, No,
it's built around this but it'sso commercialized now. Like

I don't know people hopping over borders to
celebrate Boxing Day. Yeah,seriously. No, yeah, well, you
know, people across the country,

Murph (04:57):
it sounds so it sounds crazy, but the other big too,
and this is so Canada is. Hockeyis really big, obviously. So the
day after Christmas is BoxingDay for those that don't know, I
forgot to explain that the dayafter Christmas Boxing Day, the
whole idea is, you know, you'rereturning the gifts that you
didn't like. But I guess it'salso a time when the the stores

(05:19):
will do sales not as bad asBlack Friday, but they'll do
sales like that. So that's whyBoxing Day. Oh, but there'll
also be a hockey hockey gamebecause the World Juniors Hockey
Tournament starts, which isYeah, which is the gift to be.
Don't quote me on this, I guesslike 19 and under are 18 and
under. So they are some of themare the elite prospects for the

(05:44):
NHL Draft play in this? Yeah.
And every team sends a billevery part of that tour. He did.
He played for the US team. Everycountry sends a team. So Canada,
US, Sweden, Russia, Finland. Soin Canada, it's a big
tournament. So that's like, likeit. Like it kicks off right
after Christmas. So Boxing Dayis when it starts and it lasts
like a week. And then that's it.

(06:07):
And they you know, it's everyyear, they do usually change up
the location of the tournament.
So I think when my brotherplayed in it, it was some it was
in Russia. So you had to spendChristmas in Russia this year,
because it COVID In the past fewyears, because it COVID It's
been taking place in Canadasomewhere in Canada, and they do
like a village that all the guysstay out and they just to bring
down COVID. So they basicallyquarantine all the players in an

(06:31):
area. Yeah, like it's basicallythe inside information. I've
heard what they do is like, theybasically look what they did in
the NHL, when the season cameback with COVID was like, you
don't leave the hotel, the mealsget delivered to you in your
room. You might have like, youmight have a meeting room, you
get tested, like every day, ifnot every other day. Like oh,
fortunately, it's kind of amiserable existence, but

(06:53):
literally at the age of 18 toyou can be as young as I think
16 or 17 but doesn't happen aton. Is you know you're making
while you're you're spendingChristmas alone in a hotel. You
know no no family around onefrench fries right now. Yeah,
but it's like, you know, it'sit's a big it's a it's a huge
honor. And it's a big thing toto do for your career. Because

(07:16):
like, if you play in this,there's a good chance that
you're getting looks at NHLcollege like major like big time
juniors like stuff like that,like you're either already
playing in that and then now youput your list on, you put your
name on a list for NHL draft.
And if you do really well that'swhen you get noticed. So then

(07:37):
the odd works. Yeah, and thenthe odd small country sneaks in.
Obviously Germany's becomingbetter so they're in the they're
in this now more routinely andgetting noticed they're more of
a dark horse though every year.
And then I don't know what thebest they've ever finished in
these but fortune World Juniorsthey don't do amazing. There'll
be like a country like Latvia orBelarus or something like that.
That that's weird

thing. You get the Eastern European teams to just
sneak in. Well, yeah,

Murph (08:00):
it's it's so I went to Belarus the one time so it's
like a It's they have the formerSoviet influence. So hockey kind
of follows with them. Yeah. Butthey don't have the athletes.
Unfortunately, the good athletesgo to Russia. I think Russia
just kind of claims them astheir own. It sounds like some
sort of stealing but, but thenagain, people will look up and
see like right now I thinkLatvia is having a really good

(08:24):
insurgents, like really goodyouth coming up of like, there's
a bunch of goaltenders comingout of there like MERS Lincoln's
from the Blue Jackets here inOhio, is from Latvia. So they're
like having a good source offunny hockey players coming out
of there. Right now.

There's there's a lot of like, not just hockey,
though. I've seen last number ofyears. There's like, I caught
this randomly one time, there'slike a bunch of like, good
powerlifters coming out ofthere. Even like men's and
women's get into now. It's uhoh, there's a there's like a
couple of really good, likeAmerican football players
starting to come out. Which islike, it's so random. Math. Oh,

(09:01):
there's something going on thatcountry I don't know. I think

Murph (09:03):
unfortunately, which it's like even a lot of places in the
US is like, the poverty overthere so bad. Even in Russia,
it's pretty bad that sports is away for them to get out. So from
young ages, they are just bredto do this stuff. And then on
top of that, which I've alwaysrespected about Europe, my like
USA starting to do a little bitlike my brother went into this

(09:25):
in the US program where theyhave such good academies. Yeah,
so from a young age, like you goto school, but then they
basically your free time isdedicated to the sport and you
realize like, as a kid, like,that's kind of what you have to
do. Like, you know, like, yeah,so was it that 10,000 hour rule
or something that that book thatwas written where it's, you
know, you spent 10,000 hours atsomething you're most likely

(09:46):
going to be a professional like,

I'm like that like so every Friday recheck your
priorities then

Murph (09:52):
well then you're probably not training properly. But yeah,
that's but yeah, anyway, wedigress to really bad off the
hallway. Wow. Yeah, get back tobed. Merry Christmas America.
Yeah, but just cycling back Iguess. So that's big and
Canada's watching the WorldJuniors, hockey, so
stereotypical. So that will beI'm actually probably watching a
little bit of that. Just becauseit's kind of cool to see the

(10:12):
young guys coming up some of thegoals and some of them already
been drafted the NHL, but likeanyone that follows the NHL,
Cole Caulfield, he did reallywell for us, America did really
well for the Americans. USAHockey team, they won last year.
He now plays the MontrealCanadiens. Trevor's egress plays

(10:32):
for Anaheim Ducks. He did reallywell. And so he's by them this
year. I'm really excited.
They're typical. The Canadianshave a young sensation. His name
is Bernard or something likethat. Yeah. 16 And he's just
blowing apart though. Who, whichis like 18 to 20 year olds. He's
like leading scoring stuff. Likehe's 17 Now or 70. Now, but

(10:53):
yeah, he's like, he's a he's afreak. They say he's gonna like
a course. They'll always do isto drum up business. But like,
he looks better already thanlike Connor McDavid. And Austin
Matthews. Like they're saying hemight be the next Gretzky. Like
he's just that good. But

as a plethora of talent. Oh, yeah, good, Lord.
Well,

Murph (11:15):
it's like we talked about like, when one phenom comes out,
every kid that's into thatsport, looks at the copies,
their training regimens, allthat stuff. So like, yeah, when
someone comes out with such agreat natural ability, it just
helps the sport because thenevery other person coming coming
into the league is like, that'sthe guy they want to be. So
they're just working like that,like any man, right? Yeah.

(11:37):
They're working on Christmas.
Yes, like

the word on Christmas. That's how we tied
together now. Yeah, but oh, bythe way, bro, I gotta say, too,
for some reason. And so I postedthe video, I think was last week
on our last episode, I posted onsocial media on tick tock
everything, or actually knows itwas YouTube. I'm sorry, guys. I
was talking about how to stayneutral at NHL games, and
actually started getting alittle bit of traction. With

(12:02):
some people. I don't know whyit's the most random things.
Yeah, you're giving us somequality, quality information.
How to stay neutral, not Oh, myOh,

Murph (12:11):
so the problem is, is I want you to be able to last on
this podcast, maybe for giggitymaybe for like a day for like a
year. So I'm running out ofstories. I don't know. Like, you
know, I'll just start doing moreand more random stuff, but I
don't know. I guess hopefullythey ask questions. I'll be
happy to answer them. Yeah, Imean, but I digress. Happy
Christmas.

We were in hockey.
That's Ice Hockey. Hockey hockeycall to like, American football
on the off seasons. Yeah. Therewe go. That's, that's, I guess
where we are? Right. I think thelast couple episodes.

Murph (12:42):
There you go. The other thing that I will say Canada
with the great homage toEngland, I guess, is they do
have kind of some of the I findthis out for my parents that
they enjoyed this some of likethe English traditions of what
like the mixed meat pie.

Oh, yeah. So like England does that too? Yeah.

Murph (13:00):
So my one year my dad randomly Gautam. And I like had
it and I was like, it's actuallynot terrible. I feel like in
Canada, because they have abetter connections. It would
probably taste better up there.
But I can't say I've had it.
Like, you'll see those oddlittle things were like, you
know, it's like the cookies andlike the mix, mix. Mix. Meet,
mix. Meet me. That's me. That'sme. I always say it wrong. Yeah.

(13:20):
mincemeat pies, like stuff likethat. You get that little dog
pie, right? Get that littlehomage to Canada to Britain.
Like they'll do little stufflike that. I'm sure. And I wish
I've gotten to experience otherprovinces but I'm sure in
provinces like like it's NewBrunswick and like Nova Scotia
on the on the right. Yeah,thanks. Yeah. On the coast. Like

(13:45):
there was a there's a heavierBritish influence there. So I'm
sure things are a littledifferent there. But they're
also a little more blue collar.
So I'm not 100% sure on that.
But, yeah, that's kind of thetop things that come to my mind.
People just

think that you live up in the Yukon,

Murph (13:59):
right? That's what everyone always thinks anglers.
Yeah. Those are the natives asthey call it in Canada. They
don't call American Indians.
They call them natives.

Well, you can't call American right. North
American Indian.

Murph (14:11):
No, it'd be they'll call them Indians. It's called
natives. Okay? So,

no, weird. Murph does not like to hide in the
carcasses of whales. He's a he'sa real man.

Murph (14:21):
Right? Exactly. Caribou just carry I don't swim. Okay,
all right. I'll hit you withsomething Zack.

Yay. Let's go going on.

Murph (14:32):
I don't think we talked about this. What is your
favorite Christmas tradition?

Oh, let me tell you. It's when I when I dress up
my night gown with a little witha little pot with a little
flame.
Okay, what camera which? Evanyis fruity? Okay, everyone around
town in my nightgown. Nice towear the hat. Course. Should
we throw where's the nightcap?

Murph (14:54):
Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Okay, that's all you do
just run around town like that.
I don't even sing or anything.
Just running around. I'm down

one of my old teammates is probably my first
year of college football is ourhe's our quarterback or coach.
At the time his name was headcoach was Tom Rathman. He said
he this kind of spread aroundlike the locker room like
wildfire, but the way he said itwas so good. He's like, little
Tommy Rathman running throughthe town in nothing but his

(15:20):
night gown. That's like, wheredo you get this crack?

Murph (15:26):
People just smart. I guess born with that. Maybe it's
Maybelline. But yeah, so

we just took off with it. And we just said he
runs around the city with alittle nightcap and we can
excuse me, sir. That is youtavern closed.

Murph (15:42):
That's still considered hipster. Is that like, pass
hipster wave pass as late as Isay that's yeah, that's, I see a
press. It's like a method actor.
Okay.

No, my favorite is man. I like like the old fashion
traditions. I mean, you couldhonestly name off a few or
whatever but skin

Murph (16:04):
milk when you should like elementary go like a cigarette
before you go to bed like

oh, actually an old fashioned before I go to bed on
Christmas. Yeah, I was actuallygoing here. I

Murph (16:15):
was secretary of the ass.
Like, what?

You can't do that.

Murph (16:22):
We're not bringing that back.

Honestly, I I just really enjoy. I guess some of
the smaller moments. So whetherit's just like sitting in front
of the fireplace and justopening one president. I just
kind of like simple and whileit's snowing out there you go.
And like when Missouri when Iwas younger, we had like couple
years where it's like that. SoMissouri, like we get a lot of
like mainly snows in Missouri.
Right? It snows. But it turns toice pretty quick.

Murph (16:51):
Yeah. So usually Ohio doesn't want to, but we'll

get like, like, just inches and inches of ice on
it. So it's like it's but thatwas like there's a couple of
years in succession where it'slike perfectly it's like, just
knowing perfectly like inChristmas mode and you're like
opening a presence. You got yougot the music behind you playing
all the classics from like the40s. Oh, then you got the

(17:14):
fireplace going? Simple. So Ineed that's fair. And then you
just you know, the next day youwant to eat a big old cheese
log. And then what? Cheese lawyou never had

Murph (17:23):
those now what is that?
Oh, that's like that sounds likea tradition. I have never heard
of that. But I've never had acheese law. I don't even know
that is. Is it like, is it likewhat are those pull apart cheese
sticks, like a bunch of themtogether? I don't know what

that is. I'm sure you've seen them in the store.
Basically, it's like a just agiant cheese like looking log
with like a bunch of like, kindof nuts on it. No, so people
just like cut it off. Put oncrackers and they'll eat it.

Murph (17:46):
I've seen like the one where it's like, Oh, I wonder
where it's like a circle. It'slike a cheese cheese wheel or
something? Like kind of like,like for Halloween parties.

Oh, like that. It's kind of like,

Murph (17:59):
it's okay. It's dressing cheese. Look, dear Lord.

I want to go that far. Okay. It's kind of like oh,
okay, it's good. Yeah, thatlooks good on crack. That was
really so good. Christmas Day.
It's it's Oh, damn

Murph (18:13):
good. You guys. I'm assuming guys by you don't make
it. Yeah, we buy. Okay, so likeso it is a little bit like the
one I think of at parties. It'snot a log. It's just like a
thing in the middle of a dip.
Okay.

Yeah, it's just it's like sharp, extra sharp
cheese with some like, on theoutside. Oh, yeah, I know.

Murph (18:30):
I'm gonna give her totally I still do. I remember
when we first lived together incollege, which was a shit show.
But we first live together incollege, you introduced me to
putting in shredded sharpcheddar and your macaroni and
cheese. And I don't think I'veever stopped doing that. And the
amount of weight that's why Idon't eat mac and cheese as much
anymore. The amount of weight Ican put on for doing that is
insane. But okay, that's a coollittle tradition. That's cool.

(18:50):
So that's the always the dayafter or is that like that's,

that's normally with the cheese is usually day
after. So it's Christmas day.
Okay. And then. Yeah, all thestuff I mentioned previously,
that's usually like ChristmasEve. Okay, I just love Christmas
Eve because it's like gotta getthat sense that there's anything
could happen all at once. Such aunique time. It kind of it kind
of takes me back to Halloweenlittle bit kind of has that same
mentality.

Murph (19:15):
I think if we played back the video on the Halloween stuff
you would you shitting onChristmas. They're screwed. Oh,
it's my only favor. Merv I don'tknow are talking about a panties
in your Christmas.

Hey, that's fine.
But if you if you're shovingdown Christmas down my throat in
like early November, now it'sChristmas time. It's October 15.
So still Christmas,

Murph (19:36):
right? Dude, I feel like the older we get the quicker
giggity the quicker Christmas.
That's what she said. But thequicker Christmas Yeah. The
quicker Christmas Christmasarrives. Like it's crazy because
like, Yeah, dude, it's hard tobelieve we're like the week of
right now. Like it's coming in afew days. Like that's the
season. Oh, that's right now butlike, that's the tricky thing
about working. You just get socaught up in work that you don't

(19:58):
really Like with school likeYou're like every every time you
come home it's like skippinghomework to watch Christmas
movies and stuff and now it'sjust like while it's a bh to go
Christmas shopping doing allthis stuff and I'm like, being
like yeah, at Christmas treedecorate it like all that stuff
for like what this is like thethe traditions will start to
kill you after a while like Ineed to stop all these.

I yeah, I mean this year like the, from Thanksgiving
on it was just just a lot. Yeah,it's a lot to take in

Murph (20:28):
a lot. That goes. It just happened so fast all of it and
she said that we gotta stop thispodcast, but w like she said in
the podcast. No, but she saidoh, great. Okay, I remember this
one came up. I thought I'll waitfor this. Wow. Alright. I don't
think I asked this one but letme know if I did. favorite gift

(20:49):
you've received to date?
Christmas Christmas or Christmasgift? Oh, I figured that
wouldn't be a thinker. Probablynot a good one. I should pre
warranty so yeah, we're notwe're not sitting here
awkwardly. First scream youscream? Oh, yeah. Oh, wow.
levels

go up. Yeah. Man, there's

Murph (21:19):
I mean, if you want to, if you want to make the question
more specific, but I don'treally know how I can I could be
like football themed, or I don'tknow, this is our podcast, Maple
glaze the mouse.

That's the thing I didn't. It's gonna be really
sad. But a lot of things I'veasked for in the past like I
just don't get so it's like yourLord. So it's like, alright, I
had to settle for the violin. Ibasically, I remember when I was
younger.

Murph (21:43):
I'm playing violin.

She said yeah. Hey, when I was younger, though, that
we had, because how stupid I gotthis.

Murph (21:52):
Man this huge, my little pony has

this huge like, ramp for like, you know like
your Hot Wheels cars. Okay, and,and it was his big plastic
monstrosity almost. This thingwas tall. So it almost like
looked like a giant mountaincountryside. So like had like
little ridges so you can driveyour car around on the side and
then all the way at the top ithad like this. This awesome. Oh,

(22:19):
this downward slope. So youbasically would go down and had
like one little loop and thenlike go off on this ramp. I
thought that was the coolestfucking thing. So that was
that's cool. That's cool. That'sreally cool. Yeah, yeah, that's
that's something that was kindof stuck with me because it
lasted me for a while.

Murph (22:34):
So that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize you
played in the Hot Wheels.

Not now. I mean, I was younger.

Murph (22:42):
I think they're worth money now. It's hard to believe
all that stuff. I can work moneyright now. Which I love some of
that stuff like the Pokemoncards. I regret saying I still

had some of those cast iron ones. I know for a
fact to be worth eventually.

Murph (22:53):
Oh yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah,

that's what was your favorite?

Murph (22:59):
I hate clothes right now.
I hate doing it. But I will I'llbe the first to admit that I
have been very lucky and on topunfortunately it sounds like as
as hard as some of the thingsare growing up in a hockey NHL
hockey player world there's alot of great perks with it one
of them being the amazingChristmas gifts I received so
like unfortunately my my dad notbeing able to be around as much

(23:23):
as he would like to during theregular season. The Christmas is
I don't write the Christmas iswe're always big and
extravagant. Yeah, so like I'mgonna sound like such a like
tell him I don't know. No, no, Ijust ate it because I there's no
way I will match this whenever Ihave kids because I'm just not
making that kind of money. But Imean first ones that pop into my
head were like, I got like abubble hockey table. Like that

(23:45):
was really really sick. Youknow, obviously we had gifts
that were awesome that myparents saw about us now that
when we're really young, but Icouldn't remember but the bubble
hockey table thing is the oldestone I can remember I might have
been I might have been likeseven or eight when we got that.
There may be some picturesaround there of me in a in a
under white undershirt andtighty whities. So not posting

(24:08):
on the internet because that'show you get pervs. But, you
know, that's how early we usedto wake up. You know, I've
gotten goalie pads you know,particularly one that was really
cool. And I found out I think mymy dad played hockey with a guy
that had to deal with them. Sothey just gave me the goalie
passes and fit his son, but theywere still awesome. They were

(24:30):
Eagles which they don't makethem anymore. But they were
black, Nanda black sorry. Theywere blue, yellow and red. And I
know it sounds like the weirdestcolor scheme, but they worked
perfectly. And then the thingthat I will never forget. I
don't know how they did it wasthey put some sort of gloss on
them. So they shown in thelight. It was like oh, it was

(24:52):
almost like the saran wrap themwere amazing. I got the matching
blocker and glove to go with it.
If I can find a picture, we canpost it because there were sick.
They just don't make pads likethat anymore. So they were
awesome. No eagles. No, butyeah, eagles used to be my
favorite brand. So yeah, thatwas those were sick. Obviously

(25:13):
could find them on on eagles.
Stuff like that but

they have good just as good like customs.

Murph (25:19):
Oh dude, the ones I wanted for the longest time as
we put them together it looks atthe eagle swooping down on you.
Oh sick. The claws andeverything

I forgot about that. I think we played was the
NHL. Yeah. Well, I

Murph (25:30):
showed you those for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but

those Yeah, those were

Murph (25:33):
incredible. They're awesome. So though those were
I'll always remember those for along time. Goalie mask. I've
gotten some painted goalie maskswhich, like when you play hockey
goalie goalie mask going backpain is almost a form of art.
I'm sure there's some artists onhere. That's like, that's
bullcrap. But now just the justwhat they we already talked
about the intricacies and it Ican't say that they put on

(25:55):
things you see right I'm a bigLego guy. So some of the big
Lego stuff I've gotten like Igot the old was those 18 T
walkers.

Oh man.

Murph (26:06):
I got the ones that do those if I had no doubt

about your your Lego habit.

Murph (26:14):
mean yeah, the ATT Walker. But that one dude if I
hadn't opened that those thingsare with huge money now because
they remade them. But peoplewant the old versions. So I
already made it. I got like aMillennium Falcon. The old
version again worth a lot ofmoney. My mom wants got us the
Lego soccer field that canactually play with it. Oh, Lady
broken, unfortunately. So we hadto throw it out. But yeah,

(26:36):
that's like, I know, right? Iknow, your problems.

I know. You know, it's funny. There's actual
businesses now that she sellthose individual Lego parts.

Murph (26:43):
Oh, yeah. No, yeah, no, I have some of them. Sure. If I
sold them, I can make some goodmoney. But I enjoy I enjoy
those.

That's like whatever. Because like on the
side, sometimes I might likeresell stuff. But the one thing
I always I always look for Legosbecause like the Star Wars and
Harry Potter ones are always theones obviously. You can resell
even if they're ones I just cameout last week. People pay double
Yeah, Jersey because Yeah. Forthe collections. Yes. It's
weird.

Murph (27:05):
Yeah. So on so and it's hard to find some of them So
Dell Yeah. Anyway, yeah. So thatthough all that stuff is like,
you know, from Santa or myparents or whatever been amazing
stuff. Technology. I got a carone year like it's just yeah,
it's just like, I know it's it'sit's crazy. It's it's it was
it's been amazing. So I know.
Yeah, no, yeah. Well, obviouslyme and Zack two different lives.

Yeah, it's okay.
Yeah, but

Murph (27:32):
I mean, obviously, unfortunately, that's it's hard
to be

re special, buddy.
Hey,

Murph (27:37):
it's hard to hard to pick one. But But yeah, that's that's
crazy. So I guess we should Idon't know. Should we mentioned
that we did our gift exchange oris that Oh, yeah. I mentioned
it. Yeah. So I did one we didone together. We probably should
have videotaped it but whatever.

I to me, like, I'm like, Who would want to see
that? Except for maybe thereactions called cool. You guys
horrible gifts? Yeah. If youguys probably watch it you like
okay, this is ridiculous. Yeah,

Murph (28:02):
no, it was like pretty, pretty low. Hopefully you didn't
spend a lot of money because Ispent good money but not a lot
of money. So yeah, we're Yeah,it's been pretty

low amounts. Um, I'm fortunate because like,
like, I've some people who areon the discord. For my vlog
channel. Also to you guys havenot yet we do have a patreon. So
feel free to do that. We haveextra content usually on there.
Answering questions, personally,telling extra stories, you name
it. But uh, oh, Murph mentioned,I know this can sound really

(28:30):
stupid and not original. Butit's like, I need protein. Yep,
it needs to pre workout. Like,okay, well, basically just got
them a whole stack. So I work atlike a local supplement store.
So I decided to get him. Notjust any protein that can add
enough protein. I'll show it.
It's right here. Oh, yeah. Showthe people wanna really, there
it is. Butan There we go. That'sbased out of Canada. Yep. And

(28:53):
the interesting thing about likea lot of supplements just in
general. I know you guys pray inpassing out on this stuff.

Murph (29:01):
Sorry, I didn't put that down. Well, the thing is thing
thing is massive. You see someof these ones you give me a
feeling someone's already takenout and that was like complete
that's completely that's gonnasurvive me a long time. Yeah,
people's right. But weoverproduced

nice The nice thing about like someone's from Canada
like they they're such like ahuge regulation on the quality
and stuff like that. So whateverleaves the country they have to
be tip top shape, you know, likeI've used me before they're
great. I got a obviously acouple things of pre workout as
well as some pump in therethrough some pump in there.

(29:36):
Right get that nice pump. Youknow what I gotta show it? Yeah,
yeah, I can find it. You got it.
Got it. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.

Murph (29:45):
This awesome awesome Jack guy on it. So that's what I'm
going to be hopefully in fiveyears.

That's very there it is. Yeah, it's

Murph (29:53):
gonna be me. Yeah, fully tatted up and just muscle on
muscle on muscle. Fan like guydoes not look like he just

rich first piano he's dead. Oh, yeah. Okay. He
couldn't he couldn't ever getoff steroids. So there's that,

Murph (30:05):
but they use this. Oh, I mean, they uses image. Oh,
because known steroids guy likehey user stuff. It doesn't have
steroids,

dude he was doing he was on all kinds of drugs he
was like, blow and, andtestosterone laterra

Murph (30:20):
Oh, yeah. All right. Oh yeah, he okay. And bass really
mixed them up.

Well he used to have his own his own vlog and
he's like, I remember I saw thisvideo years ago, but he's like,
he reached out his doctors like,hey, is there anything that's
better than steroids a littlebit more healthier? He's like,
no, no, you're done. Yeah,screwed.

Murph (30:38):
Cheese. Well, anyway, we digress. But yeah, um, so I did
get. Yeah. Finish.

Oh, yeah. I just want to say everything worked
out. We're gonna kill me. No.
Good. Like soon as you see himor if a couple of weeks he's
gonna be absolutely massive. Ah,

Murph (30:51):
no, but a little bit edgy. But you know tattoos like
it's fine. Yeah, maybe? Yeah,exactly. I'll just be yelling
the whole time that I don't talkloud enough in this thing?

Well couldn't be like, Oh, boy.

Murph (31:04):
Get me some weights.
Yeah. What was that family guy?
Really big to John Mayer. It'dbe alright with that. Oh, my
God. Anyway. Oh, so right. Sothen what I got for Zack Yeah,
is a awesome, fantastic holidaycard, which we don't have nearby
and I can't recite from heart.

And then mind Florinda? Exactly.

Murph (31:29):
I use a little German in there since we talk a lot about
Germans. I'm still trying tolearn it. I'm not very good at
it. But we're still trying tolearn we offer it right as
tecmyer lied. Anyway, didn't usethat properly, but it's fine.
gets the point across. And yeah,so I got God's got a nice card.
God I'm four for bags. Just kindof not too crazy bags. They have

(31:52):
the the sugar list candies thatare pretty good. Because I know
Zach's a big health nut. I'mkind of starting to get into it.
It's kind of nice when you canhave sweet stuff. That's good,
but you don't feel like shitafter. So this was definitely at
so I got on like, sweetest fish.
I know he likes like, what isthat? What would you call that?
Like licorice ropes orsomething? I don't know what
that thing was called. Like, redvine. Not red. Vines or

(32:14):
Twizzlers? And that was aTwizzlers? Yeah. Yeah. And then
Sour Patch Kids but there againhealthier and insulin. Last one
was something else. So I thoughtfour bags was was a good. So
those are basically just gummy.
Like with less sugar, which youalways feel good after you.

Yeah. We used to we used to care those at another
supplement store I worked at andthey were just like low very low
sugar. They probably have sugaralcohols. And other than that, I
mean there's like nothing andI'm still really good.

Murph (32:44):
Yep. Oh man. Yep, see?
And then I know we played a lotof like board games together. I
wanted to get Zach a really so Iguess followers if you want to
get some Zach for Zach forChristmas for all the great
stuff he does. It's called wascalled we looked it up I was
trying to find it and I couldn'tfind it. I have been to like a
bunch of Walmart's and targets.

(33:04):
I thought we carry it. It waslike NFL Blitz. No. Oh, NFL NFL
ultimate game day ultimate gameday. So really cool board game.
We're like plays a football andyou play like cards and whatever
the defense does the offensedoes you combine the yardage and
that's what they may earn orlose

a turn based things. Yeah, cool. It's a
little it's a little classic. I

Murph (33:24):
don't know it was hard to find probably gonna be able to
get it. So I ended up getting aUS parks card game. So it's
small pack.

It actually does not sound fun to actually when
you look at the package likeokay, yeah, it's interesting.

Murph (33:37):
Zach's kind of getting more into the outdoors. And I
know, like when the weather'snice sometimes means Zach is
just hanging out. Sounds kind ofweird, but like it's actually
fun into the woods. I don'tknow. Yeah, well, we'll just go
to like, public parks in thearea and like, check things out.
Or obviously, as you'll see onthe Zach's YouTube page, we've
been getting some abandonedbuildings and stuff like that.
So like

you've been yelled at by Park routers and all kinds
of things. Yeah, so

Murph (34:01):
I figured exactly like that. So got them that and it
seems like you know worth a tryworth worth a try. So we'll see
good no guarantees that a biggerone, but we'll go to small one.
See if he likes if not go backat the bigger one. If

not, then whatever.
Throw it out. Big Man likeslittle things.

Murph (34:14):
There you go. Exactly.
But, but yeah, so that was kindof everything I got for him. So
yeah, it was good Christmas forboth of us. Yeah. Good. Good.
Good gift exchange. Like that'swhat that's gonna be the first
time we've done that in a verylong time. Well, we got to check
other presidents I guess. Yes.
Yeah. For the odd occasions hereand there. Yeah. Our friendships
not built on presence. Just notfun. We're building you having

(34:36):
fun over there writing thatstuff down.

Yeah, just I'm making I'm making focus Zack for
making rocket ships right

Murph (34:43):
yeah, I guess I bored you I'm sorry. No, retelling the
gift that I got you I'll just gokill myself.

Damn, that was a bad jokes are very special as a
really bad joke. Very specialmedical place.

Murph (34:53):
That's fair. Yeah, holiday

holidays. The tough time. Yeah. All right. Well, Yo,
yes.

Murph (35:01):
I don't know about you.
Yes, I watch shitty TV duringthe holidays. I don't know why I
just like to do it. Okay,Netflix. I found Nailed it.
Nailed it. Nailed it. Oh, it.
Have you seen it? I'm assumingnot. No, it's got that. Who's
that? Really? She's like reallypopular. I don't know where she
came from the comedian. She'sblack. I don't know if there's

(35:23):
that's the proper term. I thinkthat's the proper term. Okay.
She's a little heavier. Sheworked with John Sina on one of
the shows, like splat orsomething. She seems Nicole
something maybe she seems to bepopping up everywhere and all
this stuff. She's one of thehosts.

I think I know. And actually it sounds,

Murph (35:42):
it's garbage TV, but for some reason. It's really I'm
really entertained by it. Andbasically, it's, they have like
a mazing French chef, at leasthe says he's French. He's got an
accent, but who knows how goodhe wasn't France. But he's like
a chocolate tea or tea orwhatever you call them. And he
makes like these really nicecakes or stuff like that. And
they get these people that areawful bakers, and they have to

(36:04):
try and copy it. Oh, wow. So thedisasters they come up with are
really funny. So like, for somereason I've been getting into
because they have a holidayedition. So I was like this is
for some reason. And it is likethe most mindless stupidest TV
that I'm like, why am I wasting?

That's that's yeah, that's I hate, like trashy TV
like that. But that that mightbe what I'm like, Okay, I

Murph (36:26):
would guess it's weird.
It's so weird. I don't know. Itjust, it's weirdly done that
you're like, it's not toocringy. And the jokes aren't
terrible. But like, I justwatched the holiday dish. I
didn't watch the normal one. Butlike, it's just like, yeah, it's
and they have like, two seasonsof it. I'm like, What the hell?
So it's like, it's the weirdestthing.

And you see this and now was it last year? Or two
years ago with Eddie Murphy.

Murph (36:50):
Yeah, when he summon the demon. That's hilarious.

I think it's right around Christmas time to when
they did. Yeah. So it's ironic.
He's like, have you seen like,oh, just because it's kind of
same premise where they all likethey it's a skit where they all
make up their own cake sincelike, he's supposed to make
Sonic the Hedgehog. They open itup. And there's like, it just is
like this big brown mess. Yeah,it with like someone's dentures
and like, he's like, whathappened? Well, I I tried. I'm

(37:16):
just I'm so bad and so bad atbaking. And then he starts
talking. He's like, Oh, what didthat say? He's like, Oh, I think
at some some demon voice tryingto drag your soul to hell. Like,
you know, he cussed him that hecustom that skit. Oh, and he
just like, reject themselveslike, oh, that's

Murph (37:39):
hilarious. The other one too was in the go to the next
one. It was like a perfect cake.
And like, you least you tried.
He did a good job. The otherones the other ones, like his
cakes on fire. And they're like,Why did I just burst? And he's
like, Oh, yeah.

Is that true? Like, yeah, it's just

Murph (37:55):
such an awful Baker just have

to so so terrible.
It's just so awful. It's sofunny. He starts using like, the
guy's grandmother's voice. Yeah,he's like, he's trying to trick
your your soul to take you tohell.

Murph (38:06):
Like, did you see the other one where he's an elf. And
they did like an action newsthing. And it was like at the
disaster at a workshop. And he'slike, he's like these polar
bears. He's like, he just saw ahole. He's like, the big man's
upstairs isn't paying anyattention to us. It's polar
bears around here picking us offone by one. And they're like,
can we get your name? He's like,that doesn't matter. And he was

(38:27):
like, refuse. And they'll likekeep interviewing other people.
And he just keeps barging inwith more like conspiracy
theories of like, Santa and theelegant.

Spirits theory elf.

Murph (38:39):
All right. That's hilarious. Honestly, did not
realize because I feel like whenwe grew up, like he was doing
okay, but he was doing too muchof his own stuff. Like how funny
Eddie Murphy is, uh, you seesome of like, the old stuff on
SNL that when he was a full timeguy there, he was hilarious.
True. And then unfortunately, wecame in and was like, dying. It

(38:59):
was yeah, it was like he wouldhe decided he was going to play
five people make jokes. You'relike, too much Eddie Murphy's
Eddie Murphy to watch. Yeah, to

water down, man.
Oh, yeah. But yeah, it's a greatso he basically got to that
point. That's like, what? Oh,man was that movie? Gee, what?
Oh, nutty professor. Yeah. Oh,that's that that was? Yeah.
Yeah. I mean, as a kid, I lovedit. But it's not like I'm gonna
watch it again. No, but it'sjust something

Murph (39:27):
to ignore. But you didn't know. That was bad because he
decided to play he played likesix characters or something like
that. And that one, same thing.
Yeah. He's almost like his egokind of took over and he was
just like, I'm the funniestperson alive. I'll do but I
think

I think the comedians nowadays are just so
just political. Yeah, there'sthey're so scared like to make a
certain strew like to make anysort of like certain I guess
statement about anything that,you know, you get guys like
Eddie Murphy, you just have,they're like, oh, hell with it.
Right. They got no chill andthey'll just say whatever they
want, right? So it's It's sorefreshing. And I guess when I

(40:03):
was in Germany my first time Iremember sitting down there with
the coach and we were just like,we would watch movies as we're
working. And so like, I rememberwatching a lot of Eddie Murphy,
like in the 80s, like his earlystuff, and I'm like, wow, I
realize how funny he was. Right?
It's like, man, the hellhappened, right? But yeah, it's
cultural

Murph (40:21):
get to you. Just like Happy Christmas cultural.

Happy Christmas, airy

Murph (40:28):
gnomes. Yeah, right. All right. Well, we got to get a
stick on the theme, so I'll seeif we throw another curveball at
you. All right. favoriteChristmas dessert.

Dessert. Yeah,

Murph (40:43):
so this will be a tough one. I know.

You know what I like besides pie and all that
stuff, because I to me, it isvery Christmassy. That's a no I
type pie into like Thanksgivingbecause usually it's a carryover
from us giving the noun but Itell you what. It's I've only
come across some good only acouple times where it's really
damn good. It's Oh, my God. Oh,those Allman cookies. Oh, like

Murph (41:14):
those are? What do you find a good one.

It's like yeah, that's what like the soft ones.
Yeah, that's it. Oh, my God.
That's a home the taste for so.
Let's I use

Murph (41:24):
that. They use almond butter that I think do they put
like a little bit of almondbutter on that I use

some I have to It's good. It's good. But if you find
a good soft one with like, alittle like a mixture. It's
almost like a sugar cookie withall Oh my god.

Murph (41:37):
Yeah. So damn, yeah.
Okay, I've had too many ofthose. So that's why I would not
put that on my list. But yes, itis hard when you do it's like,
you cherish that. Oh, yeah. It'slike It's like

bringing the lottery. I think cause a once in
a while.

Murph (41:51):
You better take exactly.
You take you take it. It's notwhat she said. That's right. No
almond cookies. We don't makethat joke at all. No, no, no,
no. And they're like, notterrible for you either. I think
I'm probably the really wellI'll keep telling myself that.
Yeah, no, you're right. Goodboy. We're trying our best.

Well, you Murph What do you love?

Murph (42:11):
Well, that's easy. As before throw up No, that's easy.
No mom sugar cookies. I knoweverybody's your mom. Alright, I
know everyone's bombs. They goodstuff around this year. I don't
know how to describe it. Thosesugar cookies and I think we've
talked about it once beforethey're cracked up. I'd like the
Robin Hood flour I think is likeone of the tricks from from

(42:33):
Canada that it's so good. Likethe then we put like the right
amount of icing on it. Like youknow the icing sugar that's used
and all that stuff like, Dude, Iwe only do them for the
holidays. And it's the one thingI look forward to. This year has
been a little bit of a buzzkillbecause she has not made them
yet. We're like and I know Ishould do them. I'm an adult.
But yeah, that those areamazing. Yeah, dude, that's

(42:56):
That's it right there. That'sall purpose one, but you can get
like the Oh, damn. Yeah, thatbut yeah, that's that's the
that's the stuff and you want itfrom Canada. But that's really,
really good.

You know, it's funny, because I think you
mentioned this last time I did.
And I think someone said, Ithink it was Mojo or somebody
that said, like, you canactually get it in stores. Oh,
wow. In a few different places.

Murph (43:15):
It's weird. I know. Mojo is gonna be like, your two. I
know people are gonna be like,oh, yeah, people are gonna be
like, You're too highbrow orwhatever. But I'm telling you, I
don't know how to explain it.
It's different when you get itfrom the source. Like, what do
you get it from Canada. Like,you know, we've gotten we've
gotten Canadian and you guyshave seen the videos. We've
gotten Canadian goods from herefrom rural world market, and
they do not stack up compared towhen I get them over there. Like

(43:36):
so much so that when I go toCanada, Zack will ask for things
for me to bring back like somuch so like this is it like
they want to make sure likethis. Is it like a pride thing?
This is a legitimate lead? No,this is like a legitimate I
don't know if it's just the waythey transport it. It's just
isn't as good. Yeah, but like,you know, like, like one of the
best birthday things mygirlfriend got me a bunch of my

(43:58):
favourite because I think shetalked to you of my favorite
Canadian camera. But I knowthey're from world market
because when I was eating it wasjust it was just wasn't as good.
And I know people are gonna belike, it's a mental thing or
like, whatever, but there'snothing right now and I know
people gonna be like that big.
It's a mental thing. I'll be Ishit you not. And um, maybe we
should do that one day. We'll doa taste test a blind one between

(44:19):
the two. And I bet you I wouldfeel confident in saying 78% of
the time we get that right. Likewe're willing to bet it is true.
It is just different. I don'tknow you can't describe it here.
Like it says different chocolateI get really passionate about
it's just weird. Like yeah,exactly. laughs But I shit you
not. And I'm getting Zach upthere since he finally has his
passport. Even just the cat evenjust the ketchup tastes

(44:42):
different because of thequality. So you get like a
packet of ketchup fromMcDonald's and it tastes
different. Oh yeah. Like it'sthe weirdest thing like it's the
weirdest thing.

What's the thing like was if you get all dressed
chips? Yeah, I'm sorry to hear.
Oh, yeah. And what what do youmean? Like, compare that to
what's like vinegar with like,barbecue, a

Murph (45:01):
little bit of barbecue and maybe pepper. I don't know.

It's like barbecue vinegar and something else like

Murph (45:08):
onion or Yeah. But it's, it's amazing. It's amazing. It's
amazing. And then

even then, obviously, we ketchup chips. So
it's like you sell, you sell,like those kinds of hogs you can
I sell them down here. And youthink like, okay, it'd be the
same were remotely close. No,no, no, it just doesn't compare
the taste is so different. Evenwith the ketchup chips, I still
swear by the way they use. Yeah,it's nothing close to delays.

Murph (45:36):
And I'm sure we would do a blind taste test and I'd get
it completely wrong. But I don'tknow, I would still I would
still, I would still defend it.
And I'm sure people big it's amindset thing, whatever. And
maybe they're right. I'm not,you know, a cry. I'm not a
psychologist. But I swear, and Iguess that's why I got Zach in
on it. Like, it just isdifferent. It really is. Like,
it just it just is it's likethose those arrow chocolates,

(45:57):
yeah. Oh, that's even kind oflike what, you know, watch out
for the YouTube video not youknow, hopefully, we're posting
soon, but it's even like the,the German audience will get,
you know, we'll get some of themfrom world market because again,
for some reason, and fascinatedwith Germany, but the you know,
we'll get we'll get them formoral market. And you know,
they'll they'll do their thingand have the German thing on it.

(46:19):
But compared to when our awesomeviewer send them to us, it just
tastes different. It just reallydoes.

That's perfect.
Because I'll talk to my dadmultiple times about this. It's
like, like, once you have Germanbeer, and you come back over
here, even if you buy the samebrand, it they, I think they
carbonated or something and soit just doesn't taste as for
transport.

Murph (46:41):
It's like it's like, it's like Guinness, like it's like
you can get it you get it fromthe can but it's not the same as
when you get it in Ireland whenit was you know, freshly done.
Not too long when I mean Yeah,

but it's it's like, you know, obviously in Germany,
it's all fermented so it's likeit just tastes so much smoother
and it goes down easier andyou're not as hungover like you
just just feel better. Yeah, soit's like it's completely
different. So but that's that's

Murph (47:05):

shortages. It took me a littlewhile to get some of the gifts I
wanted for like someone to ringme up short. Like there was not
as many people in the mall andstuff as I thought now I have to
quickly run out tomorrow to grabsomething so I wonder tomorrow

when it came out like that. Iwould watch it in like the
summertime for an hour. Yeah,that weirdo? Yeah, was that

(51:08):
time? Yeah,

Murph (51:09):
that weirdo

remember my dad coming home from work one time
he's like he's like you're stillwatching this is not your winner
out. I'm like, I like

Murph (51:18):
I love certain things entertaining. That's

honestly you is you got Arnold Schwarzenegger in it
and Sinbad? Yeah, it's just justa lot of good one liners it just
it honestly it it describesAmerica's consumerism perfectly.

Murph (51:31):
Yeah,

it just it's just so good. Right

Murph (51:34):
a sociology paper about it. Why don't you should?

Why destroys our society, right?

Murph (51:41):
It's true, though. That's a you're not you're not wrong,
though. As much as I joke,you're not wrong.

I'll try to find a tillable man. Put that cookie
down now.

Murph (51:52):
I watched that a few weeks ago, and I remember like
That was funny. She's like,what's your mother doing? Always
out petting Ted. The neighborswas they named the deer Ted. It
was just hilarious. She'swatching. Yeah,

I still love how they call him Howard. Right? Oh,
my name is how

Murph (52:10):
you have to remind about Oros Watson agar is they liked
it so much that like they'relike just pretend like he's
American people just ignore theaccent like what? But it says we
yell about America is you gonnahave an accent? He won't care.

It's like what Bill Burr said understand what time
about it. He's like that manshould never made a pass a damn
docs. But you know what? He'sstuck to it. And he worked his
ass.

Murph (52:31):
Governor had an illegitimate child just the
American dream. Oh

my gosh. Now I'm just trying to find a job. Oh,
man, right. Oh my gosh. I stillsay like booster booster. I
every time I go the gym. There'sa buddy of mine that that still?
Like he's watches. He alwayslike recites one liners to me.
But he always tells me that he'slike, no one likes you booster.

(53:01):
Jeez, how about you? What'syour? Oh, well, I

Murph (53:04):
mean, I do not have that.
Like, oh, that depth of ananswer. Oh, yeah. But the I
think the one that I would sayevery Christmas that I have to
watch. There's a ton of them.
But I think one would just beChristmas vacation. Oh, it's a
big one. My family watches onChristmas Eve. And it's like,
like, we are a goofy family. Andthat's what we like to watch.
Like before amaze origin all

the way came out.
That was like my number one,right? It still is it just like,

Murph (53:27):
it's just good. And the funny part is, no matter how
many times I watch it, I canalmost recite the whole movie.
It's like, it just moves soquickly. It's so good. Like,
it's hilarious. And I feel likeevery time I watch it, the more
mature or perverted or whateveryou want to call it. I get the
funnier things get that I startto catch things. Like, like that
one. Part one. Like it's funnyas a kid you don't realize

(53:49):
things like the one part I wroteas a kid was like, showing off
the underwear just like pulls upher leg and oil lines. And it is
like see rest no lines. I don'tlike at the time I was a kid.
I'm like, oh, no, I'm like,That's hilarious. Like, I don't
know. It's just like, it's likeshit like that, that you just
kind of get to understand youdon't

realize two years.
You know, early like two yearsago, I just found out that Ross
was the guy on Big Bang Theory.
I told you that like years ago.
Yeah, but still it was weird tofind out. It's like

Murph (54:16):
Ralphie from Christmas stories. One of the guys in elf
the head elf like guys. Yes.
Their elf is alright which elfis another high one for me
actually haven't seen it yet,but I got to watch it this year.
Watch that one. Oh, yeah. seenthe movie? Yeah, I got to watch
that one this year too. I havejust unfortunately my list is
long but for the sake of theviewers, I'll cut it down to one
and I'll go with that one

Murphy's behind.

Murph (54:39):
Yeah, we Oh, no, not behind. I just I'm more meant
like the list is long movies. Ienjoy watching. Oh, that also
season right? Yeah, well, no,no, no. No, I'm also a really
big and I think I've said thisin previous podcasts. A
Christmas Story fan. I reallydon't know. Yeah, because no
Christmas Carol. Sorry. Because,so like, I keep trying to read

(55:02):
the original Charles Dickensbook, but I just don't make the
time for it. I was gonna sayfine, but I'm not gonna lie to
myself. I just don't make thetime for it. I'm too busy
watching. No to be rushing,nailed it. Just like, you know,
just the way my world goes is Igraduate college pretending like
I was all all cultured and shit.
And now I'm watching nailed iton the night before I go to

(55:23):
sleep instead of reading aclassical book. But anyway, what
happened? Enter, right. So Iwatched a lot of movies based
around that like even like justjust all over the map without
like, drink all the way so thatlike to 25 days of Christmas on
free forum is like that is whyusually in my bosses and listen
to this, usually the month ofDecember, I'm not as productive

(55:46):
as I need as I should be. Iwon't say need as I should be
because I have Christmas movieson in the background while I'm
working. And most of the time,I'll cut out 3040 minutes and
watching a movie. Like it'syeah, it's bad. It's bad. But
you know, productive? No, not atall. Not at all. Be productive
to my movie list. Not to my job.
Which Fair enough? Honestly, Iprobably would get me fired.

(56:09):
There's lots of people outthere. Yeah, lots of people out
there that probably work harderduring this time than I do and
deserve jobs. But I work hard inthe times that people don't work
hard. So that's how it works.
But no,

I'll give you one that I'll throw a little
curveball. All right. I like it.
What is

Murph (56:24):
this? I keep throwing all the curveballs at jack shit.
Alright, when you contribute,

or you dig what is uh, what is your favorite? I
guess Christmas. Special TVspecial? Not very many.

Murph (56:43):
I don't even like can you give me an exam? I don't even
know if I'd like know of any.
Can you give me example? Oh, Iknow. I know. We've been on
these impasse podcasts.

But I guess you could talk about maybe TV like
episodes or something like that.
Like let's

Murph (56:54):
say I can't say I have to I guess the only one that comes
off the top my head that maybecounts would be like I was gonna
say SpongeBob like those aregood ones. But I don't remember
all of them. But that has somegood ones like true like the one
I can remember specifically waslike, he had like, like, I don't
remember they like start asnowball fight and they got like
really crazy and like, like itwas just years ago though. I

(57:17):
don't remember everything aroundhim. I remember they did that.
And then that was at Squidwardgot caught left alone, and a
snowball fight fighting himself.
Like I think that was aChristmas one over. Obviously
though. I think if I'd had if Ihad to choose, I would say this
is a very general one, which youand the viewers are gonna hate.
I think I like the Nickelodeonones better than the Disney
ones. If that makes sense. Okay,also like Rugrats. You know,

(57:39):
like, What else was there? TheWild Thornberrys I know it
sounds that's a really weirdreference. But like, Yeah, but
like even though like I likedthose Christmas ones over I
guess I didn't really watch manyDisney shows. But the ones I
watched their like theirChristmas ones were very sappy.
I wasn't very into them.

It's hard. Yeah, very difficult.

Murph (58:03):
So like the Nickelodeon ones that kind of meshed with
the enmeshed with the the and Icould be wrong. I'll probably
watch them and be like, I wasfull of shit. Sorry viewers.
Like it like mesh and mesh thestoryline pretty well. And then
I think that Disney's ones werebecause the Disney Parks is what
they cared about was like truemake it Christmas for the Disney
parks and so was just veryrandomly Christmas and you're

(58:24):
just kind of like, okay, I knowwhat I mean. Yeah, like, yeah, I
don't know.

I get it. Yeah, it's a little things.

Murph (58:31):
Yeah. All right. What Alright, then since you asked
the question, then, you know,yeah, well, you asked, you know,
there's gonna be noreciprocating Yeah, exactly. No,

um, man, there's like, there's not very many that
I'd say like, Okay, this was thebest one I've ever seen or
anything like that, um, eveneven years past, I mean, if you
look at recess, recess was okay.
I guess I would probably lean onArthur because they had this
awesome like, because like,there's awesome episode where

(59:01):
like, oh, they had to like, theywere snowed in they had to go
out to like, get extra suppliesfor the snowstorm and then like,
they barely made it back. Andit's a whole thing, but it was
like, okay,

Murph (59:14):
cool. You just, you just leave me your bitch on that.

But there's one that's still the reason why I
asked the question becausethere's one thing that still
stands out to me when I wasyounger, and my mom actually
like recorded this was the theold like Sesame Street. How

Murph (59:31):
like to get there. Chris Barney guy can't be there. Oh,

Christmas Special.
This was Oh man. This had beenmaybe 80s Okay, so my mom like
so I would watch it like rightaround that season. And I was
just so like, as a young kid, Iwas so like, flabbergasted like
just trying to like, comprehend.
I'll cover everything. Well,because like they start out the

(59:57):
first Damn. The first day him,like seeing they open up with is
like They start. They playvalise NaVi dot All right, and
there's people that are justlike, oh, you know, they're
they're ice skating right? Andand all the characters are ice
skating even fucking Oscar theGrouch who's in a damn can ice
skating. So I'm trying to figureout what is happening. So the

(01:00:20):
characters with skates on theirfeet on like, an easy street on

Murph (01:00:24):
ice. Basically,

Zac Saleski (01:00:25):
any scene is giant as nine foot Big Bird just like
roll Yeah, I'm just wantingsomeone to like just to check
them in the boards.

Murph (01:00:36):
See your hockey fan before you knew it?

Honestly, I was confused right? But but the
thing that still sticks out tome to this day I hate to spoil
it but it's old look at what

Murph (01:00:49):
you just point yeah,

there's this part it's like

Murph (01:00:51):
saying the Titanic sunk up here we're like wait what
like whoa yeah,

wait so boilers I guess like basically trying to
like water down so basicallylike big birds like determined
to like find out if Santa isreal he's so he's gonna like
catch him. So he so big we'retrying to just like sit up like
on top of like the building sohe catch a glimpse of Santa and

(01:01:16):
like

Murph (01:01:16):
a bird is the building of this so I'm gonna really big
bird sitting on kind of job nobusy like he's trying to be
stealthy it's like what's thatsecond chimney sitting on this
roof? Oh wait that's big bird.

See the yellow chimney yeah right now I do for
the last like seeing still likeI don't know why like like
haunted me at the time but it'sjust been Burke's like sitting
there all night just like snowis coming down and it's like his
face is frozen over and then itjust kind of it almost it'll
sound like at the very firstlike

Murph (01:01:52):
dining when you see him the next morning and he's all
like frozen over and verysimilar

to their Lord so it's like it just slowly panning
out and then you just hear thislike really slight like bells
like jingling from like Santa

Murph (01:02:04):
Santa is coming yummy doesn't like it doesn't shock
you like oh man she's here thevelscope

but then the I think pan out and then big words
like still asleep and the nextyou know I guess Santa like
parked on one of the buildingsinto here just like little
roughly

Murph (01:02:18):
like like the oh yeah yeah yep.

So it just like you know like you see like this
shadow across like Santa is likestanding in front of big bro for
me. I was like, holy shit. Tome. I'm like all stealthy
someone's about to die.

Murph (01:02:34):
It's just getting poned just

kill shot. It's like that thing I was like, Dad
this is creepy for

Murph (01:02:44):
Santa pray that Big Bird was a turkey for Thanksgiving
next year. Something

more to do up here.

Murph (01:02:49):
Right? That I could tell that that made an impact on you.
You were so thorough and thatdescription like asked me that
question because my answer wassome bullshit like Nickelodeon
yours was like Santa's crept upon Big Bird all stealth like
seal 26 on Osama Bin Ladin.
Seriously like you got you doyou talked about the crunching

(01:03:13):
the snow made like

it's still meddling with me man. I hate it a

Murph (01:03:19):
velvet picture of this velvet. Dear Lord that got real
descriptive ever

for rail for tough,

Murph (01:03:32):
I was actually like, I'm sure I was like mouth gaping
like I was into it. I was likedamn, I'm see I am getting
ready. I will show you couldwrite a book on that. Like that
was I will show you vividimagery right there.

I know it's on you.
I will show you the end becauseOh, it's creepy.

Murph (01:03:48):
Oh, no, no, I totally like I'm just trying to explain
to you did so. Well. narratingthat that like I feel like I
watched it like oh, like sittingwith you like that's my news.
That's my new answer. Likethat's it like that's it like
yeah, like, I guess I go fuckmyself like that. Was it right
there? Like

was it Game Grumps Game Grumps take the shot? Yeah.
Just the Berenstein Bears. Justtake it right do that's one that
one talks about though.

Murph (01:04:14):
Apparently bears? Yeah, I never saw I never watch that,

man. They do. Yes.

Murph (01:04:19):
That sounds right. Yeah, I think I saw maybe one episode
to Arthur by never really like

Yeah. Early. Yeah.
So it's they weren't bad.

Murph (01:04:27):
Was it here in the US or was I just see it in Canada was
the the bananas in pajamas.

Oh, I was here to okay, I

Murph (01:04:34):
thought that was Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's the
weird that's I mean, I'm surelots of people blowing me up for
this one but that's the funnypart. I always try to try to
tell people's it feels likeCanada kind of go is like always
a little behind the TV. Like Idon't know what it is like watch
watch TV at night. Oh, yeah. Oh,yeah. Whoa, original Canada

(01:04:54):
stuff. Amazing. Yeah, I mean, Iyou know, I got you into I got
you into Letterkenny like stufflike all Amazing. However, if
it's an American show when it'slike reflected in Canada, just
the quality is kind of weird andlike it seems like it's always
really far behind. But it's,it's interesting.

I'll do you one then. How about red green?

Murph (01:05:13):
Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh, that's like, that's a Canadian
icon pretty much right there.

Red Green Man.
That's basically just a Canadianone egg putting things together.
I hate to

Murph (01:05:22):
say it. heartache. didn't watch them that much. I know. I
only know him based onreputation alone. I can't say
I've seen many of his episodes

here. They were usually on like Friday nights.
Yeah. So and like everyone wenton people were watching TV.
Yeah, yeah. TJ Yeah. So theywere always like, play him on. I
think he's Russia. PBS usuallypicked what TJ if the Russia?
No, yeah, yeah. Oh, tgis.

Murph (01:05:48):
Asian, Asian Asians love TJ Yeah, I didn't know that. TGI
Fridays are racist. Oh, yeah.

But no, like, it's like whenever TJ if stuff like
that whole programming was onthey would always play on PBS.
And, and basically if you guysdon't know what, you know, red
green show is it's like thishilarious. You just, oh, it's
like this. So stereotypicalCanadian. Yeah, like backwoods
Canadian just like always doinglike some kind of crazy stuff
like putting things togetherthat shouldn't be together. I

(01:06:17):
don't think

Murph (01:06:18):
it spoilers but he just wore a red and a green
suspender. Like that's that'snature's called Red Green.

That's like, but the guy was so funky is
hilarious. He's like

Murph (01:06:26):
backwoods Canada. Like that's what you that's what
you'd find out the Yukon andlike all that stuff. Oh, sorry
to those of you go on. But yeah,that's yeah, it's

it's better for Canada. Listen to this. We're
good. Right. Is there a fair onefirst?

Murph (01:06:37):
That's like out west.
Yeah. No, it's It's yeah, that'syeah.

I remember like, watching him like on Friday
nights is great. Even theChristmas specials are great.
Yeah. Damn, Well, shit,

Murph (01:06:48):
right? Do we do we seem like posers or do you? Like, do
you ever wish you had strongCanadian traditions? Like, I was
always slightly jealous of like,for example, like Latin American
culture they had what was it thewe learned in Spanish class and
all that, like the cake that hada little baby Jesus in it, that
they do like the Oh, yeah, theydo. Like in that party. I was
always like, and I think what isit in France that they like, put

(01:07:11):
orange in their stockings? Iforgot about that. So like, I
was always kind of jealous thatI never had those. Yeah, right.
We never had like thosetraditions here in the US. But I
guess that's also what makes itfun. You make your own
traditions. But like, yeah,like, there's not like
culturally don't really havethat kind of stuff.

Well, I thought we were special when, you know, we
used to drive around, you know,little suburbs of Missouri and
just look at Christmas lights.
But then he were like, Oh, we dothat. We do that too. You
actually did you thought you'respecial? I thought was younger.
Yeah. Like that's pretty cool.
Because everyone just goes theygo to church to go eat and
they're done.

Murph (01:07:46):
I hate to be rude, but it's kind of hilarious. He
thought that because like, well,that's why they put the lights
up. Like I know.

Like a Christmas Eve you're like, Okay, we'll
just drive around. Around. Yeah,I thought that was pretty cool.
I was like, that was our ownthing. But, but then like, like,
the next week, you talk to yourfriends like, oh, we do the same
thing. Like, you know what?
Fight, fight, fight fight.

Murph (01:08:06):
I'm not mad fight. Fight Fight.

budget. Budget dicks, right. Imagine budget
eight year old saying thatbudget budget decks. So use me.

Murph (01:08:19):
For everyone a new in my life. He would be the person to
do that. Eight years old.

You cannot call eight year old asshole. Right?
Yeah.

Murph (01:08:27):
You gotta dig. He's gonna call me. Suddenly, I'm that guy.
Right? Exactly. I get back fromschool. I don't. 28 years old.
Suddenly Synlait kicked me out.
Right. So like, yeah, teachanymore. Don't call eight year
old assholes. And you can'tteach anymore. I don't get it.

Struggled man. It's rough out here in the streets.

Murph (01:08:49):
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Gang gang areas. Right.

And anything else you got going on with Christmas?
Ah, man. Well, I

Murph (01:08:59):
guess for those that I guess update? Yeah, those that
haven't seen it or keep up withit. Because of the current
climate we live in and COVIDproblems. The NHL season, most
of the teams have stopped theirgames until after Christmas. So
my dad comes home. I don't knowwhen you're gonna play this.
I'll just say tonight. So we'redoing this on Tuesday. So he's

(01:09:21):
coming home tonight. They hadpractice tonight. True. Yep. And
then my brother, unfortunately,will not be able to come home
until Thursday or Friday. One ofthe two well, I should say,
well, not obviously. Girlfriend,Chicago. They want to do a
Christmas thing before he comesback because she can't come
because she lives in anofficer's Chicago. She's a

(01:09:42):
nurse. So she she works. UsuallyChristmas Eve or Christmas day
because I think she's orthodox.
So they have their Christmaseslike a week later. So yeah, so
she usually works on ChristmasEve or Christmas Day because
they get paid more nursing. Soshe's doing that so she will not
be coming with us.

boyfriend still still works. Oh, that's good.

Murph (01:10:02):
I respect that good.
Actually, as a matter of fact,I've been told a lot of the
Blackhawks girlfriends and wiveshave dropped. It's kind of
becoming a big thing. No, good.
So actually, I really, I mean,there's nothing wrong with it.
My My mom was, I just like tocall it a home engineer, but
stay at home mom. And I thinkit's very, you know, I see the
importance of it when you havekids. But I also do respect the

(01:10:25):
women that have jobs and dothings Iver as much as the
hockey players make, they wanttheir own identity. So I respect
that I

respect women who actually, like have goals. They
want to achieve it. Yeah. Andthey're like, yeah, like, my, my
guy does this, that's great. ButI got my own thing I want to do
exactly. That's respectable.

Murph (01:10:42):
Or I can understand if it's like, my mom, and it's a
meeting of the minds and they'relike, you know, my dad's like,
I'm gonna be busy doing all thiswork. You know, I need somebody
at home taking care of thingswhile I'm gone. So like, yeah, I
respect all those. I do not likethe trophy wives that that stuff
kind of annoys me. Like, you cantell when you talk to them. I
will be they have nothing goingon between between the years.
And they're just, you know,they're just there and they

(01:11:04):
married to be rich. Like, Iunderstand you want to you know,
you want to marry to have a goodlife, but sometimes that stuff
annoys me where I'm like,

yeah, no, come on.
But anyway, when I see thatstuff started dying,

Murph (01:11:14):
I don't think it ever will. Because unfortunately, in
some there will always be Yeah,you don't

know. But you go out it was pretty prevalent.
Like, yeah, late 90s. Oh, very.
Yes.

Murph (01:11:23):
But I mean, obviously, it's always gonna be big. And,
you know, Eastern countries,Russia, mail order brides and
all that stuff like, you know,such poverty to get out, don't
you? Right, yeah, just want toget out. But, but yeah, but
that's, yeah, that's kind ofnice. But anyway, the season is
suspended until while notsuspended. But a lot of the
games are done until afterChristmas. And then I guess I

(01:11:45):
just saw on one of my socialmedia feeds, and I was told this
is probably gonna happen is theNHL players aren't going the
Olympics anymore. went, Oh, wow.
So that, of course will hit hurtthe Winter Olympics. Me being a
hockey fan, which is kind of anice part is just loving the
game is I will probably stillwatch some of it. But probably
after a while I'll just getbored not want to watch it
anymore. Because they'll justsend like players are playing in
Europe. So yeah, I guess likethe NHL, NHL players aren't

(01:12:09):
going to go over anymore. Islike at least what I'm hearing
and what I've been told and whatI'm seeing, I don't know if it's
officially been announced. Butwell, yeah, that's that's gonna
suck for the Winter Olympics. Imean, obviously, being a hockey
fan. Winter Olympics is kind ofa big Olympic for me. I like I
like it but bobsledding skeletonand all that stuff like, like

(01:12:29):
yet. Daniel Tosh made a goodjoke about it. Because Winter
Olympics is the only time that Ifollow like bobsledding or stuff
like that. That like I'd neverwould pay attention to. It's
exciting, though. Oh, it'sawesome. Yeah. But, but yeah, so
that that's disappointing, but

yours out there.

Murph (01:12:47):
Wow. Nice pond. Nice.
595. Nice. Right. Nice. Nice.
Well, you know, hopefully nobodyrepeats George's fiasco. Yeah,
that was bad. Anyway, so whilewe're Yeah. Right. No, other
than that, that's kind of that'skind of it in that world. And

(01:13:08):
then I guess the other one willbe in. I'm sure we will do a
podcast. Yeah, positive. We'lldo a podcast before then. But
New Year's Day, they do theoutdoor game. So for all of you
while it's hockey fans, I hopeyou've marked it on your
calendar. I have been veryfortunate enough to go see one
live. We can talk about thatwhen we get closer to it. But

(01:13:28):
yeah, they are amazing things awitness. I usually

normally I don't care for anything these big,
like, kind of, I guess bloated?
You know, corporate type,

Unknown (01:13:40):
like sports. Okay, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. Yeah,
that's a little sassy.

But because especially, especially with NHL,
they tend to like oh, man, we'revery bad. Yeah, but the fact
that they decided we're gonnahave you know, hockey games
outside. Great idea. I lovemore.

Murph (01:13:56):
I think the Canadian ones called it the heritage one or
whatever is a little morehistorical and a little like,
this one that they do the NHLthrows is kind of a newer thing
they've done yeah, but you dolike they do such a great job
paying homage to the creation ofhockey and the old school vibe
of it that it's amazing. Andthis year, which is very
exciting is and I'm sure there'sgonna be some triggered things.

(01:14:18):
It's taking place in Minnesota.
They're playing out of the twinStadium, which in Minneapolis,
which I'm super pumped about,because, unfortunately, the the
state of even though people inDetroit, Michigan and other
places will disagree, but I willunfortunately have to say
Minnesota is a hockey stay likeoh the way like no, do you guys
ever get the free moment? Checkout their high school state

(01:14:40):
Hockey Championships. They packNHL arenas to watch this stuff.
They also have a really greatguy. I don't know what his name
is. He actually commentates forsome reason all the high school
kids grow their hair out and tryto grow mustaches. Because
before the games, theyintroduced them that they
skipped the Blue Line theystopped so they try to wave

(01:15:00):
their hair do funny haircutslater. It's called the flow
league or something. It'shilarious. But I, I shit. You
know, the Minnesota is like,Well, my brother said this when
he played it with a few guysfrom Minnesota. It's a different
culture out there. They're kindof weird, but the way they
cherish hockey is insane. Andlike, every place you go to
Minnesota because it's sobitterly cold. And it can be

(01:15:22):
awful winters. But they all haveoutdoor rinks. They're like, I
think it's what is it the landof many lakes. There's like
their title. And it's like, Iwasn't like, yeah, I almost went
to a school out there. They'recalled the imagery state. And
they are, they're on a lake. AndI have a buddy that went to
school in Minnesota and said,yeah, the lake freezes over and
all the college kids will go outand just play hockey on the

(01:15:43):
lake. Like, it is such a bigcultural thing there. And even
though they're more pay homageto like Sweden and like Finland,
because that's where a lot ofthe move to Minnesota. They
emigrated over they the hockeyculture, they're just amazing.
Also, the head coach for the1960s Miracle on Ice team. Yeah,
soda guy. They actually paytribute to him her Brooks, but

(01:16:06):
I'm excited for it. I think it'sI love the show, right? I love
when the NHL picks the best cityThank you. I love not NHL picks
the right cities? Is one ofthem. That'd be

awesome. When there's like proper thinking
behind it. Like that historicallike

Murph (01:16:29):
oh, yeah, it's

and it makes it happen.

Murph (01:16:31):
I know you're gonna kind of hate this. Oh, it's the only
relatable thing I could do forhockey. Oh, they're playing the
blues. So, which is kind of arivalry which is really cool. So
it's gonna be it's a good game.

Alright. Blues are a hockey team NHL hockey

Murph (01:16:50):
I addict energy rose.

Listen, you are born. When you when you are
baptized. You are baptized inKansas City. Like alright, you
don't like St. Louis and St.

it goes. It's like, like yeah,they have another sports team
that cancelled he doesn't greatwhatever. Screaming for years.
We got to get one I would
