I actually went to uh, we took my my my grandson.
They had live reindeer done at the library and we

were not interested in letting anybody pet them, so they
stayed in the center of the corral. But all these

little kids were sitting around reading their books to these reindeer.
Sweet So they were sitting on the ground and they're
all reading their own little book, right and to the reindeer.

What I decided is I'm gonna stay sick until probably

of burning it at both ends. I had the party
last I'm having a party this Seriday before the night show. Right. Yeah,

halacious text message here. Well, you have no rest for
the wicked, right.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
There? Never is?

Speaker 4 (05:17):
There never is.

Speaker 5 (05:19):
There's always even during this time, there's always something wicked
going on.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
There is, like what we're going to talk about tonight, right, Yes,
the spooky, the spooky side of Christmas, because there is
definitely a spooky side of Eule, which is Christmas.

Speaker 5 (05:37):
By the way, you'll tie Carrols really means Christmas, carol.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Son, Well is uh, you'll was around before Christmas? Was

except one person in my in my uh one person
in my video comments was like, I want to I
want to crump a gift. Mm hmm, okay, Well Birch
switches for you, then.

Speaker 6 (06:29):
I don't. Well, maybe they have a spanking fetish.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
I don't know with iron rod.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
I don't know about an iron rod. That's more like
a beating.

Speaker 5 (06:40):
That's like it's like, you know, a whole.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
It's birch switches.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Cramp is allegedly beat with the iron rod or was
that something a little less extravagance.

Speaker 4 (06:56):
Yeah, I know about the birch, but not the iron rods.
That that's a whole other level. I mean, I guess
technically is tenderizing.

Speaker 6 (07:06):
You at that point, Yeah, because I mean this is
the same guy that each children. Yeah you.

Speaker 5 (07:17):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Yeah there wrong, Yeah, yeah, so good times.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
It's just.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
The season. I'm burnt out Texas over there with bills.

Speaker 5 (07:38):
In his beard, you know. Yeah, And it's I'm glad
that today was the longest day or today was the
shortest day.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
Yes, Saturday is is the winter solstice, so that's Saturday
night is the longest night. Okay, But some people start
on the twentieth. It depends on how old school you are.
It can start on the night of the twentieth and
you're supposed to keep that mule log burning. You're supposed
to stay awake. You're not supposed to go to sleep.
She's just stay awake throughout the longest night in order

(08:11):
to fend off the evil spirits that are haunting.

Speaker 6 (08:16):
And you know, we are going to have a We're
gonna I just confirmed it while I go because I
was I wasn't sure when we were having our Christmas
because all my kids are coming in, which is a rarity.
And so we're gonna have Christmas. We're going to do presents,

(08:37):
We're going to have dinner. After we do all that,
we're gonna go out fire pit. We're gonna have fire.
We're gonna have s'mores on the open fire. Yeah, it's
gonna be a good time. I'm looking forward to that.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
Sounds great. I'm glad that your kids are all going
to be around for that. Everybody shoves into my living
room this morning. It's like, just like Rob's package that
you are still able to get online. By the way,
I'm order it now. You don't want to be package
with on Christmas morning, and Rob's got the perfect package

(09:17):
or your loved one.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
I will think. I can't wait for this all to
come to an end. But thank you once again. Wow,
great time. Caesar's tidings SESU nice.

Speaker 6 (09:33):
Normally a man would love to hear an attractive woman
talking about his package.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
I'm just saying, well explaining.

Speaker 5 (09:41):
I mean, I'm complaining. I just have my boundary. She's married.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
I'm pimping out that package. Man, I'm telling about.

Speaker 5 (09:50):
Just pimping out bmr's package for the holidays. There's two
sets of packages. By the way, that Rob has two packages.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah, yes, is it bull packaged? Podcaster.

Speaker 5 (10:07):
Just do not let them roast over your fire too long.
We don't want to have chested roasted.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
Nobody wants to package singed package. It looks unattractive, probably small.

Speaker 6 (10:22):
Well, you don't want to chest nuts risted?

Speaker 5 (10:25):
You don't want so yeah, no, I don't want.

Speaker 6 (10:29):
Can I lead?

Speaker 5 (10:30):
Now know what they're referring now? It's all right text
because I fully expect this out of monk. I've known
for a little bit now, and which is awesome. That's
why we do these shows. But my packages, however, my
two books. You can find an Amazon bigfoot miss rappers.
That's true. Accounts books want to answer you big foot
miss Amazon brows and you know what if you are

(10:52):
if you are a current member of Amazon Prime Free
Shipping Sweet free Shipping. And I've also come up with
letterhead that if you want to sign. Give me your address.
I'll sign the letter head with a picture of me.
Of course, you know about a fire you know, pose

(11:20):
you one of the use and yeah, I'll get it
out to you.

Speaker 4 (11:22):
I'm feeling like I like at one of the conferences,
I can probably talk you in, like after a few drinks,
I could probably talk you into posing in front of
something and I'll take a picture and I'll send that
out as the b MR Christmas card nexture.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
I a great idea. It doesn't take many drinks for
me because I'm you know, naturally just you know, weird.
So yeah, i'd be into that. I would do that.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
We'll get even a field of blue bonds, the.

Speaker 4 (11:53):
Field of what bluebond? I haven't seen Texas blue bonnet?

Speaker 5 (11:58):
Oh boy, no, yeah, nobody wants to see that. My
package is nightly put together. This blue bonnet. It's definitely
lacks the package that is need.

Speaker 4 (12:12):
I mean Christmas gift, I mean not Christmas Easter gifts. Right,
we got to think ahead.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
You got to market the blue bony.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, go ahead and marketing right. We're a Christmas right now.
You've got to be thinking Easter. You gotta be thinking,
you know, I know It's.

Speaker 5 (12:27):
So funny that, you know, the day after Halloween, I
go into the local drug store and they already got
Christmas stuff out.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
The day after Halloween, well they're already putting out Valentine's stuff.

Speaker 5 (12:39):
Yeah, I know, you know that's just ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
I'm not a fan of Valentine's Day.

Speaker 5 (12:45):
I don't celebrate it either. I never did when I
was married.

Speaker 4 (12:49):
I'm a very anti Valentine's Day person. I just think
it's ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
I'm a Hallmark.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
I like Hallmark now now I like me a good
Hallmark store. It smells nice.

Speaker 5 (13:03):
I will see now that you mentioned that we had
a cool Hallmark store, which I did frequent because they
had a lot of cool stuff, trinkas and stuff like that.
And yeah, they and they're gone. It's gone.

Speaker 4 (13:17):
There it's one.

Speaker 5 (13:18):
I found one.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
I think it's the only one left in Texas. I
swear to God. It's in McKinney. I drove by it
by mistake, trying to avoid a traffic jam on the highway,
and I was like, no, I pulled in there, became
a Hallmark member. They got me.

Speaker 6 (13:36):
Yeah, when did when did the whole Hallmark? When did
they go from cars because cars aren't good enough, so
they went to movies.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Don't talk shit about the Hallmark movies because.

Speaker 6 (13:54):
Well, if they would just change the actor and the
storyliner once in a while, I would be okay.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
They cycle through the same three actresses and the same
like five actors. The plot line is modified, just a
hint on it.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
They changed the town or the holiday. It's always it's yeah.

Speaker 4 (14:14):
It's a It always cycles through the same like three
plot lines, you know. But I will tell you the
one that caught me. I haven't seen a plot line
like it before. And I actually the Hallmark movie that
I watched that got me addicted to Hallmark movies was
like six years old by the time I saw it,

(14:34):
but it was it followed this lady who kept like
meeting this guy and they were obviously like good for
each other, but the timing was off, and it took
place over like three or four Christmases, and they just
it was always like a near miss in every Christmas.
And finally it like worked out, and I was like,
that is so cute. I like that, And I liked

(14:56):
the actress. She was in Midnight Texas. She was one
of the stresses in Midnight Texas, which was a short
lived TV series. If you hadn't seen it, check it out.
It's pretty cool. So that's the whole reason I watch
it is because I recognize the actress.

Speaker 5 (15:12):
And I like you. I do like b actors and
actresses the baver you know. Yeah. Now as Hallmark, that
must be the channel that fifty two weeks out of
the year, if you're browsing through your cable, it has
something Christmas on all the day. It's always a Christmas movie.

Speaker 4 (15:30):
It's you know what, though they don't it's Christmas is
there like Cornerstone. But they do it all year. They'll
have like the fourth of July one, the Easter one,
the you know, Memorial Day when I swear they do
it for every holiday plot m hmm. Ever, come a
year they have summer ones. It's the point I'm making.

(15:50):
It's not just Christmas.

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Absolutely. I hear you there on on with uh.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
I don't know, I know, on with not Hallmark Movies,
is what you're saying.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
So you will you you know what, I can start
it off if you want, Monica, because you know me,
I talk and then I'll have to take a break.
I'm drinking my.

Speaker 4 (16:18):
What I told you guys early what it was, you know,
A teaspoon of honey.

Speaker 5 (16:22):
That's what I got it now, No, all, just the honey. Okay,
I'll do that in a minute. Speaking of Yule tales,
because I know Monica is much more verse than I
could ever be. With the solstice. Back in the day,
I heard about a tale about the Dear Mother, you know,

(16:46):
and it was a spiritual figure back way back in
early times, and she was worshiped by you know, people
from like that. I think it was like the British Isles, Scandinavia, Russia, Siberia,
a few others. And today she's still revered in many
of these places, right, And I guess it says that

(17:10):
during the winter solstice is said that deer Mother she
takes flight, carrying the Sun's life giving light into the
new year on her antlers.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
Nice.

Speaker 5 (17:26):
Yeah, And so I guess some of the Finnish people,
Scandinavian people said the deer, that this deer, he had
the power to travel between the world of the living
and the world of the dead, or like the underworld.
And they said the shamans themselves would turn, would take

(17:48):
form of an animal or a deer, and he said
that these deers, these magical antlers, capturing the sun right right,
would help the lost souls of humans cross over into
the afterworld or the afterlife.

Speaker 4 (18:09):
That's nice, so they'd guide them from this into the afterlife.

Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah, and went on to talk about that's how the
idea of where the sun is like reborn and the
dead time of the year ends and a new a
new a new year begins. So basically it captures the
essence of the light turns into darkness, but that it

(18:36):
ends that one year period and returns the light and
there you go, and then the underworld is now satisfied
for twelve months. So I thought that was pretty interesting.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Diana going underneath and Sirnunos coming up right. So in
pagan and it depends on there's all different thoughts, right,
there's no one set you know thing. But one of
the ones that I learned was Diana, right, she's like
the mother of she's really the moon, but she's like
you know, the like spring and summer right life. And

(19:14):
then as fall comes in, that's her entering the underworld
where she'll stay in the underworld during winter. And then
Sir Nunos, who is the god of winter and death
doesn't mean he's a bad guy. It's just his realm.
He surfaces and you just do this cycle where they're
they're switching out.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
Wow, it's pretty cool, pretty interesting.

Speaker 6 (19:37):
I never wondered why. Well, I mean, I guess it's
so explained. I just think it's unfair that the cold
and dark is always related to death.

Speaker 4 (19:51):
And well, I mean it's a time of year that
the crops wither and die, the trees lose their leaves.
It's dark, you know, it gets dark early. It's more
dark than light. It's a whole it's a whole cyclical
thing in the northern hemisphere now in the southern hemisphere.
And I think about this every year. I just can't
imagine Christmas being one hundred and five degrees. Like Jojo,

(20:19):
who I think is in the chat, experiences this, and
it's just like such a foreign concept to me. It
just like you know, snow. I mean, I don't know.
I mean when you think of a winter landscape to me,
or a Christmas landscape, you think of snow, and you know,

(20:40):
for little woodland creatures.

Speaker 6 (20:42):
And yes, it is crazy, because I was talking, I was,
I don't know, I wouldn't talking to him. I was
I was listening to somebody talk about that, and they
were talking about it so cold in August.

Speaker 4 (20:57):
Oh yeah, it's the worst month in Texas.

Speaker 6 (21:03):
Oh my gosh, brutal in Texas.

Speaker 5 (21:11):
You know, I can't imagine. And even like Jojo, yeah
she's in the chat, you know, Australia for one. But
I could never get these people that were telling some
of my friends, especially the friends from college. They're like,
wouldn't it be great Robbie to go to Los Angeles
during Christmas. I'm like, no, no, you know, I get it.

(21:36):
I tell you what. I love Christmas songs. I like them,
all the new ones, all everything in between, but the
one that I can't stand and every time it comes
down the radio or if I see it you know
on TV, that I got going in the background or whatever.
As much as we all are love being Crosby, that
guy sings this song about it, the hoto Lulu lu

(22:01):
Ow Christmas song we've all heard, and I wish I
could remember how it goes, and it's just so stupid. Okay,
I'm like, this is not Christmas. This is singing about.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
I just think of Christmas vacation. When I heard that
to say Merry Christmas to yeah, let me sing it
for you since you don't like it.

Speaker 5 (22:34):
But it's that that's not the Hawaiian version, is it
is that? That is? Oh and that yeah I say
Marry Christmas.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
When I hear that, I have visions of Randy Quator
a speedo yes.

Speaker 4 (22:51):
Right, yeah, swinging the towel around and throwing it in.

Speaker 5 (22:55):
The water, which was great, which is a great movie.

Speaker 7 (23:01):
Watch it.

Speaker 5 (23:02):
Every year I can.

Speaker 6 (23:03):
Sing you a Christmas song of Christmas.

Speaker 4 (23:13):
Like where the Tree?

Speaker 5 (23:22):
Okay, now, children listen, sliving.

Speaker 7 (23:30):
This is the spooky timing here, paranormal world, people serenading, serenading.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
You over the over the year. Yes, okay, you know
we'll get back to you, but I want to know
because you know it's coming up. We're not gonna have
another show before Christmas, and I'm going to release a
few shorts.

Speaker 8 (23:55):
I'm gonna do one on the Jula Catherine, which is
the yule Ca, and then I'll do one and I
know what you're thinking, text, it's not about the ule
log uh and.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
The longest night in all of the what you should
do the longest night? So those are going to be
coming out here pretty quick. But I want to know
what are your must watch holiday movies because I've got
a list that I've got to watch, like around Christmas,
like leading up to Christmas, got to watch them. So

(24:30):
I want to know what yours is, Rob, do you
have a list of movies that, like you have to
watch every year?

Speaker 5 (24:37):
I have something I always make sure that I do watch. Yes.
The one that I least like watching this is Jimmy
Stewart one.

Speaker 6 (24:46):
It's a wonderful one.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
I've never seen that movie all the way through.

Speaker 5 (24:49):
I'm not really a fan of that for whatever the reason.
And people say, Rob, that's you know, sayck religious not
to like that? Well, whatever's your on I I must
say I do like The National Lamp with Chevy Chase.
I always watched that. I do. Another one that I
don't like either is with Listen to Me, I sound

(25:13):
like Crampist. The other one that I don't like is
with the Kid with the bb Gun.

Speaker 4 (25:18):
Oh Christmas Story. Yeah, Oh, I love that. I remember
seeing that in the movie theater when it first came out.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
I know, it's okay, that's how old I am.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
I remember seeing in the freaking movie.

Speaker 5 (25:35):
My favorite probably Christmas movie is die Hard. Okay, it
reminds me. I like it. You get that, even though
it's not a Christmas movie, you know, in the sense
of the word it is it is.

Speaker 4 (25:50):
I mean it takes place over Christmas, so it's.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Technically one of my favorite Christmas songs. Is played at
the beginning, right, and I'm like, I'm just captured, I'm boom,
I'm into it, you know. And then the other one
though it would happen to be I said National lampoon
on that one. And there's one other one that just
slips my mind. Oh, I do like the very very

(26:13):
first without mccaulkin alone. I do like that. That's funny
as hell. I was gonna chuckle out of that one.
So those are the three that I may. I watched
them during the month of December.

Speaker 4 (26:28):
Anyway, Sure, how about you text.

Speaker 6 (26:32):
I wanted to watch Hard of course, Lethal Whipon Okay, hmm,
that's a good one. Rudolph themous bit toys.

Speaker 5 (26:54):

know we could use animated.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Well, sure, I mean the movie whatever.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
My list is all of them for that.

Speaker 4 (27:07):
You like to heat miser one?

I love that one. Yeah, I like all the pretty
much all the Rudolph movies.

Speaker 5 (27:17):

Speaker 6 (27:21):
Yeah, right, of course, the Charlie Brown Christmas.

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Gotta have Charlie Brown. And at Thanksgiving. Also, I do like, yes, Charlie,
the Great Pumpkin and the Great Pumpkin.

Speaker 6 (27:42):
It's not really a Christmas movie, I don't think. But Harvey.

Speaker 4 (27:51):
With the Invisible Rabbit. Yes, okay, okay, that seems more
like an Easter movie.

Speaker 5 (27:58):
But I got you.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (28:05):
I guess.

Okay, i'll give you that.

Speaker 6 (28:29):
I used to watch Boston snow Man, not so much
anymore because I don't know, it's just feels different. But
let's see. I think that's about it. Okay, yeah, Christmas story.
I'm not really saying. Yeah, I like Scrooged.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
Scrooged is on my list. I gotta watch Scrooge.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
Ever seen it? Oh?

Please watch it. You'll you'll love it.

Speaker 5 (29:16):
Yeah, I will watch it. I know I should. That
sounds weird enough to see that, but I said.

Speaker 4 (29:20):
Everybody, I'm feeling really weird about tonight.

Speaker 5 (29:26):
But I will say that the animated one is Rudolph
the Red Nose Ranger, number one, my favorite, Santa Claus
is coming to town. Then Frosty, you know Frosty. I'm
kind of a text on that one. That's why he's
number three. And then the three movies I mentioned, and
I guess there're one with Ralphie. That's his name, Ralphie.
I think it's because on Christmas Day they play it

(29:51):
and it's almost like it doesn't matter when you turn
on the TV. It's on. So maybe I was just
more annoyed with how come this is always on? But
I will say this, maybe I'll tell him, Monica, I'll
do it. I'll do it for you along with Screwge.
I will sit down, I'll get into it. I'll watch
it from beginning to end. Then i'll give you my

(30:12):
verdict when we all get back together after Christmas.

Speaker 4 (30:15):
Yeah, I mean yeah, I love the bumpus Hounds, sons
of bitches bumpuses.

Speaker 5 (30:22):
Yes, yeah, I have to give it an effort because
I don't even know what you're talking about with that,
So yeah, I gotta watch yeah, I.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
Mean, well, okay, so the Father is Cold Check the
Nights Talk, Yes, of course, so you gotta love him,
you can't. Yeah, you can't not love Darren mcgavian and
Cold Check is so iconic, so I just love him
no matter what he's in.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:49):
So my movies are obviously Christmas Vacation. Gotta have Christmas
Vacation every year.

Speaker 5 (30:57):
The Rough.

Speaker 6 (31:00):
Hm hmm.

Speaker 4 (31:01):
If you haven't seen the you've got to go see
the ref It's got Dennis Leary in it. He plays
a cat burglar who kidnaps like Kevin Spacey's family. It's hilarious,
con isn't it. No, I'm not sure who that actress is.
H Is it a net Benning? M hm, she looks

(31:22):
like a Net Benning. I don't, but anyway, it's them.
I watched Amos and Andrew and.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Scrooged Scrooge with Bill Murray or with with Bill Murray okay,
the comedy okay, cool?

Speaker 4 (31:40):
Yeah, and then of course Christmas Story but that I
mean it's very sentimental for me.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
I just love Christmas, Okay, So that's that.

Speaker 4 (31:59):
Is well, now she's the sister in law, she's not
that she's not Kevin Spacey's wife, Judy Davis, that she
have red spiky hair. I don't know who Judy days.

Speaker 5 (32:13):
But yeah, you know what text? Did you say? Madeline Kahn?
And somebody mentioned Madeline Khan earlier? Yeah, that just sprung
something in my head. This is not Christmas related, but
one of the movies that I can't watch twenty four
to seven on a random role is, of course The
Black and White with Genie Wilder. Oh, yes, young friend,

(32:39):
I can go around. It is like, no, that's like fantastic.
But again, I like you actually anything with Genie Wilder
and back in the.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
Day, Yes, well, Jane Wilder's hilarious. How can you not
like gene And he was such a sweet man too.
If you haven't seen his biography, you should watch it.

Speaker 5 (32:58):
Didn't you marry Gilder Adner from he did? Yeah? Okay,
that's a sweet story. Say I'm sweet, everything all tied
ina and.

Speaker 4 (33:06):
He loved her so much. I just love to see that,
you know stories like that? Yes, So okay, let's move
on to the spooky Christmas time. You know anybody other
than the dear lady.

Speaker 5 (33:23):
No, but I was going to say that, I mean,
there might be a couple that I might know.

Speaker 6 (33:29):
I know, you know how we.

Speaker 5 (33:31):
Lately we've been talking about gnomes, yes, yeah, yeah, And
I was just reading something earlier today about the gnomes
I guess from a know actually to emerge from underground
during as you're talking about the solstice. And I'm trying

(33:55):
to recollect if any of the stories I've gotten were
during that period, but I think most of them were
in the summer, so that would kind of scratch them out.
But I thought that would be interested. And I also
find it interesting that these folks that have the scent
to like gnomes or elves, that they seem to be

(34:16):
mischievous to you. I mean, I yeah, I don't know,
you know, I've.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Been well, okay, so there are gnomes and elves, the
tompte who we discussed this time of year, because they're
the ones you see with the hats and the beards, right,
They're tied to land, and they usually were helpful, right.
They would take care of the barnyard, they would take
care of the land, and they would make sure that

(34:42):
like nothing bad happened, like no evil spirits came in
like they would guard everything, but if you disrespected them,
they don't berserk, think of nuts.

Speaker 6 (34:54):
Hold on you.

Speaker 4 (34:55):
Yeah, they've been known to like kill the animals in
the in the yard out of revenge for throwing a fit.
And if you want to see a movie about them,
it's Something in the Barn. There's something in the Barn
is the I cueued.

Speaker 6 (35:10):
That movie up and started to watch it today, but
I got interrupted.

Speaker 4 (35:14):
Yeah, and that is that is a tante or a nissa,
and they have all kinds of stories about that. They're
not always bad. I mean, they're they're genuinely seen as
you know, helpful and benevolent little creatures. Just don't don't
cross them, don't tee them off.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
And sometimes you don't know you do it though.

Speaker 4 (35:40):
Yeah, I mean, I was listening to something about brownies,
right and hobbs, and they are helpful little things, but
if you upset them, right, they're helpful around the house,
But if you upset them, they'll leave forever. Like they

(36:02):
don't throw a fit like a pump the will, but
they'll they'll just leave right. And one of the things
that you can do inadvertently to offend them is gift
them clothing. For some reason, they're just really offended that
you that you're gifting them clothing, which leads us into
my next mule creature, which is the your la koturin,

(36:28):
which text thing sounds like something else and we'll goiggle
like a school child every time he lakotaurin. You look kotturin. Yes,
it's the Yule cat.

Speaker 5 (36:44):
Oh boy, do you know.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
What the Yule cat is? So? The Yule cat is
this humongous feline that stalks the countryside in Iceland and
it eats people that do not get clothing as a
gift for Christmas, or or not wearing the new clothes

(37:06):
that they were gifted at the holidays.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
I mean, I know you may. I mean, Monica, if
you got clothing for Christmas.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
And do not wear it and you're hiking like you're
cross country skiing, you're going to your ant's house in
the middle of the night, is going to nab you in.

Speaker 5 (37:28):
I am very lucky that Grandma got me, dude, JAXX,
I'm with you. I'm very lucky because growing up my
you know, I got so much and even as a kid,
I knew and I opened up the ugliest even as

(37:50):
eight years old, Like this is not that awareness. Yeah,
so I'm lucky that I haven't been eight long ago.
I know, right.

Speaker 4 (37:58):
Well, see that's that's my point is you better stop
complaining about the socks and the pink bunny outfit and
get to wearing it if you're going to be stepping
outside during the holidays, because the yolak is waiting in
the bushes for you.

Speaker 6 (38:13):
Might get me a pink bunny outfit. I'm wearing it.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
Well, I will find one that will fit you. I'm
on a mission now.

Speaker 5 (38:21):
Speak speaking of socks. That ran out today to take
out the garbage without wearing socks. Maybe it's one of
the reason I'm still sick.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
I don't know, because you're going outside. But how cold
is it up there? Okay?

Speaker 5 (38:36):
Yeah, it's cold, a little bit snow the snow it can't.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
Decide if it wants to be cold or warm here
and my oak tree out front like held onto the leaves,
held onto the leaves. And then the last three days
it was like the walking willow and Harry Potter just
all of them fell the se.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
Yard.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
Yeah, I'm like, where the heck and just in time
for the rain to matt.

Speaker 6 (39:03):
Them down so they'll leave patrol them.

Speaker 4 (39:11):
You can't blow the leaves when they're sopping wet.

Speaker 5 (39:14):
Oh no, not at all.

Speaker 4 (39:16):
Yeah, I can't blow them when they're sopping.

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Well, I'm to the point where as you guys know,
I like, I have a big garden, So I take
the leaves, I blow them all or rake them into
the garden. Yeah, I let them just dissolve into the ground.
The access fertilizer for the following you.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Yeah, that's what That's what I do. Well, it's also insulation, right,
I don't have to put all the mulch out if
I've got the leaves cover in my lines, right. Yeah,
I still have to put frost covers on my wisteria,
and I probably should put it on my guardinas. I
planted gardenias this year, and I'm hoping that they.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
Are he supposed to last through the winter.

Speaker 4 (40:01):
We're gonna find out. I mean, I'm in eight a
they Yeah, if I put a frost cover on them,
they're supposed to be.

Speaker 6 (40:07):
Okay, We'll got so much wisteria I wish it would
die on see.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
I can't get it to grow.

Speaker 6 (40:12):
Oh my gosh, how can you not get it to grow.
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (40:16):
It doesn't like me. The wisteria is.

Speaker 5 (40:17):
Like not her.

Speaker 6 (40:19):
I'll send you a picture of steria owner.

Speaker 4 (40:23):
Sure it's beautiful and it's probably exactly what I want
on my fence, but I can't make happen.

Speaker 6 (40:27):
It is defense now I seek.

Speaker 5 (40:31):
We had this conversation Monica some time ago. I need
plants that will come back each and every single year.

Speaker 4 (40:38):
Perennial. Yeah, you got to get perennials in my zone.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
I think you told me I have his zone five
or something.

Speaker 4 (40:44):
Yeah, that's easy to look up. We can look it up.

Speaker 5 (40:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:47):
You Another thing that I thought about doing was starting
a native plant, like little tiny little native plant like
store here, because I just really think that it's import
or to plant with what is native to your area.

Speaker 6 (41:04):
Right.

Speaker 4 (41:04):
It helps the pollinators, it helps everything. It's better for
the environment. If you want a perennial that's going to
keep coming back, you are going to have more success
with something that is native to your region than getting
something that is shipped in from Georgia. Let's say you know.

Speaker 6 (41:23):
So, yes, man, I.

Speaker 9 (41:25):
Love my elephant ears, oh my gosh at the carnival. Yeah,
I love them too. Or is that a plant is
a plant.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
That although they they they're like little umbrellas, like when
it rains, the rain just oh wow. Still it rolls
like water off a duck's back. It just hits the
leaf and rolls on.

Speaker 5 (41:54):
Very nice. I like that. I'm going to check into
that now as well. Excuse me briefly. Yes, I'm not
ignoring people in chat. I don't have my phone handy
so I can't type, so hello to everybody.

Speaker 4 (42:05):
I'm not ignoring people in chat either. I'm trying to
keep my mind focused on the show, really trying hard.

Speaker 5 (42:14):
Yeah, I can tell.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 5 (42:16):
Well we all kind of aren't you know.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
Well, I've got two of my most favoritiest co hosts
with me tonight, Yeah and Breezy.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
You all.

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Breezy couldn't make it tonight. He is fighting off the
strep throat and yeah, which if you've ever had a
you know how horrible that is. He thinks will be
okay for tomorrow night show. I told him, don't like
push it for tomorrow night. He thinks will be okay.
Of course, it's his show, it's up to him. But everybody,

(42:53):
just send your well wishes to Breezy. And his family,
all of them have it.

Speaker 5 (42:59):
Yeah, yeah, I will. I'm projecting it now, and yeah,
I can only imagine because my throat has not been
the same. I can't tell. I can't remember what it
feels to have my throat normal a lot. It's been
that long with what I got going on and hooking.

(43:22):
They don't have elephant ears. Elephant ears that the fares
where you're at. I thought that was kind of all
across the United States. Do you get elephant here?

Speaker 4 (43:31):
What's an elephant ere?

Speaker 5 (43:33):
It's a big like cinnamon you get at a festival
or carnival. It's a big old cinnamon type of pastry
that they they bait and.

Speaker 4 (43:45):
Okay, well, funnel cake is well a funnel cake. This
sounds more like a like a fybread or something.

Speaker 5 (43:53):
Try to like that. I don't. I can't explain it.
It's just like a very light pastry spread out to
the shape of elphaneers and cover with sugar and cinnamon,
and it's baked and it's very hot. It sounds awesome,
very goody and sticky and very good. And I think
they make it different parts of the country and might

(44:15):
be a different name. Oh yes, I discovered him about
ten years ago. I didn't even know the existence a
decade ago because my dad had me get him some
one day. I was going to his house back in
the day and that's almost coming home from his carnival.
He goes, hey, Rob, go get me some elphan ears
man for that carnival. You go tell you talk about
elphaneers you want like a dumb bow.

And guess what guys, Donny chose in the chat. Guess
what else? I agreed to be on a show tomorrow night.

Speaker 6 (46:11):

Yeah, we'll both be on that show.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Excellent, So tune into Donnie show tomorrow night and watch

Speaker 4 (46:36):
Think it was Saturday?

Speaker 5 (46:38):
Well, I was supposed to go on Saturday. I mean,
he asked me to come on to talk Saturday night,
Saturday night, and I told him I have to get
back with him because I had a party that I
didn't know if it was going down, but it is
going down Saturday at my house. So I told Donnie
I can't. I have to bow out because my party
won't be done at nine o'clock.

Speaker 4 (47:00):
Listen, I'll be done parties and talking about your parties,
and you had a party last week, and if you're
not invited to your parties to New Orleans, sir, and.

Speaker 5 (47:12):
I told you what my answer would be, depending on
the Lions. But but I can't invite you to Michigan.
You're not going to drop a hat fly over and uh,
you know, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (47:24):
You keep talking about how cool your parties are.

Speaker 5 (47:27):
Not cool, they are cool.

Speaker 4 (47:29):
I want to go hang out with the guy that
thought the mannequin across the street dressed like Michael Myras
for three hours.

Speaker 5 (47:38):
Did you hear that? Sex?

Speaker 2 (47:40):
I did.

Speaker 4 (47:42):
I just really want to hang out with Rob. Every
time Rob is in the vicinity, I am unable to
make the event.

Speaker 5 (47:48):
Well, I am kind of fun.

Speaker 6 (47:50):
I guess I think.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
You're a lot of fun. So that's what I wanted
to come to New Orleans.

Speaker 5 (47:56):
Well, I just not totally off my books, because you know,
if the Lions are out, they're out right.

Speaker 4 (48:03):
I'd like to see Donnie Choe in New Orleans. I
would like to see Donnie Choe drunk on Bourbon Street
with me. Don't you think that would be I'm not
going to be to make the New York and I
don't think Breezy is either it's going to be me,

(48:23):
it's going to be really alone on the streets of
New Orleans.

Speaker 5 (48:26):
That is really I really had a good time with
Doddy show in Alabama.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
That's a hell of an elephant here.

Speaker 5 (48:36):
That's an elephant here, there's oh wow, Okay, I guess
that would be kind of shady.

Speaker 4 (48:44):
Yeah, it's a great umbrella if it starts raining dunk
under one.

Speaker 5 (48:50):
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of cool.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
So Hooking wants to hear the story about the mannequin
rob even though it's Christmas. Tell us a chilling hull story.

Speaker 5 (49:00):
Oh well, I could they want the Jojo said it
was epic blake, So I'll do the mannequin because that's
pretty pretty funny and creepy at the same time. So
it was just as past Halloween, so it's very current,
very fresh.

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Fresh shit like it.

Speaker 5 (49:26):
Yes, So at the house is Halloween. Kids are all
up and down the street. I'm passing out candy, which
I always do usually, and we had a lot of
kids this past Halloween. For every reason you go. It

(49:47):
fluctuates up and down, up and down all the time.
So I'm out there and now cross the street directly
across the street. Everybody there's a house that the family
moved out of it, and they had been it's up
for sale. And excuse me, so it's up for sale. Yeah,

(50:12):
there's nobody's been there, not a living soul around it.
Maybe a realtor showed the house a few times, this,
that and the other, but it's pretty much empty. No
light's on, a little dining room light that dim the
house is to keep it lit at night. So hollowy's
going on. It's about an hour and a half. It's
starting a little dusky dolls starking dark. And I'm outside.

(50:36):
I had this little fire going in the front of
a pretty kids all this day and night when I'm
sitting out there, so you know, then I now it's
like almost pretty much dark, and most all the neighborhood
people are turning off their their Porsch lights. It's such
an And then in the traffic trick, the kid's traffic

(50:58):
was done right, so I'm like, okay, let's time to
you know, Scudado back in the house. Look up, But
I look up and down the street, to left and right.
They just glance at the house, cross the street, no
big deal, just checking everything. Before I go in. So
the house across the street also has this big tree,

(51:23):
and I'm getting ready to like go, you know, turn
in and watch TV. And I happen to look out
the curtains of my house to the front street, and
I look to the cross street at that house, and
I happen to notice that this house this figure kind
of standing there. And I squint my eyes, you guys,

(51:46):
because I it's it's it's somebody standing there, just kind
of right on the offset of the tree. You can
see the head and arm and a tall body. And
and I'm like, wait a minute, what's going on here?
Is that someone standing there? Because I can't tell what

(52:06):
it looked like a person, So I'm thinking, what's going on?
Is it somebody, you know, freaking freaking out the neighborhood.
Because I immediately start getting little freaked out and standing
at my house. So I shut the drapes, the curtains, whatever.
I go in the kitchen and I do whatever, waste
a few minutes, and I'm thinking, man, I gotta go
back and take another look, take another look. And this

(52:28):
figure of this person is standing there across the street
hasn't seemed to move to me. And it's glaring at
across at my house. I'm like, okay, I gotta investigate
this just a little bit. So I get out and
I sneak out my back door. I go all the

(52:50):
way around to the other side of my house to
a fence which I can peer in a little closer,
and I swear it was a person is standing there
was dressing Mike Myers, Michael Myers, you know, the guy
my favorite movie and scariest dude of all time. And
I'm like, wait, is there a guy really standing dresses

(53:14):
Michael Myers here staring at my house? And I'm like,
this guy is freaking me out a little bit. If
this is a human being, he's doing a good job.
You guys. It went by time. I look at time,
and time rolled by. It was almost going on forty
five minutes up to an hour of this person would

(53:35):
not move. I kept I went back in the house
hoping he would go. And I go back out. Still there,
so good, so so good. Old bm Ari sees this
guy for the last time. I said, I gotta get
close and I gotta I go take I gotta see
what's going on. So I get out. I'm kind of

(53:59):
I leave the front, I leave my back house. I'm
going across the street and I'm I think I brought
what was? I said? I think I brought the stick
with me some sort of yeah, actually, huh, you had
something in your hand, my hand Detroit on it. You
know what it was? It was Gary Spike's walking stick. Yeah,

(54:24):
that's remember mak okay, Yeah, hey dad, I'm going out
and I'm just getting closer and closer to this Michael
Myers figure and he's staring me down, and I'm getting
kind of like, this is kind of freaking me out
because it looked like a person. Man it did, especially
for the distance. Getting closer and closer, not yell hey,
tap the stick, Hey, what's going on here? What are

(54:47):
you doing? And then no answer. I'm like, I'm trying
to think. I don't know, so I said, I just
I gotta find out for myself what's going on. Get closer,
closer and closer, and before it's all said and done,
I get up very close and I realize that it
was a mannequin place their dressed up like Michael Myers. Yeah,

(55:14):
now story's not over. I look at it. I look
around and I'm like kind of laughing to myself a
little bit. Oh my god, great, great setup had me going.
And as I said, it's been out there for going
on an hour now, so there had been somebody watching
me go through this ritual of looking like an idiot.

(55:38):
Because no less than five or ten minutes, I look
out to see if this mannequin is still there, and
everybody just like good old Michael Myers, He's gone, you know,
And now I'm thinking, I mean, have a second fuss.

(55:58):
Oh wow, I mean, who's I said. That's a great hoax.
Somebody had to It was perfect, you guys, I investigate,
I yelled, get close. I see some mannequin go in
the house, and it's been there for an hour, less
than ten minutes is gone? That, you guys, was very freaky.

Speaker 4 (56:17):
They invested some time in that prank.

Speaker 5 (56:19):
They game on that one.

Speaker 6 (56:23):
You know, they had They had They probably had like
a like a ring camera set up or something.

Speaker 4 (56:29):
Yeah, it says, have you ever seen Dodgewell?

Speaker 5 (56:32):
Oh yeah, yeah, okay.

Speaker 4 (56:33):
So like the mannequin he puts with the camera in
its eyes watching the office team. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (56:40):
So yeah, and I remember telling this too, Mak you
probably remember this. So it's gone and I'm like, well,
I'm kind of relieved but wondering. I get a phone
call from my buddy Brian, of course, my best friend,
who I hate, the guy who's pool I literally built

(57:00):
with him, blah blah blah with the drone flew over
the pool, took pictures.

Speaker 4 (57:03):
Of us, right, because that's not creepy.

Speaker 5 (57:07):
That's not creepy at all. And he goes, hey, what's
Then he calls me, He goes, you have a lot
of kids from Halloween. I like, yeah, yeah, I did.
Actually he goes, yeah, he goes, hey, what's the he

I know, during well Halloween, Mike, why here's why? He goes, oh,
I just wondered. Click And I call back like, you asshole,

(57:37):

Speaker 4 (57:39):
That was just like what was he like waiting around
the corner, just like I have.

Speaker 5 (57:44):
No idea about that's.

Speaker 4 (57:46):
A long game, that is that's a dedication.

Speaker 5 (57:48):
That was long game. I pulled a lot of pranks
on him, I must say, and he got you, yeah,
and his pranks never were as good as mine. I've
always gotten him. But I tell you, what if all
the pranks that has to be number one, and he won.
He won the battle. He didn't expect it out of
him at all. Fact, he even calls me earlier.

Speaker 9 (58:11):
I'm so tired of work, man, I'm going to bed
about six o'clock.

Speaker 4 (58:17):
He set the scene.

Speaker 5 (58:18):
All right, yeah, you know thro all right? Yeah.

Speaker 4 (58:23):
So if you want to watch a funny animated like
YouTube video about prank it's called prank Wars. Bruce Do.

Speaker 5 (59:27):
Okay, man, you didn't hear did you hear that drone
story right quick that you said it was creepy? Did hear?

Speaker 4 (59:35):
Yeah? You were talking about it on you.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
I tell you about you were there on that was
seray night.

Speaker 4 (59:39):
Yeah about the guy, yes, and then like sent you
guys photos of your side creeper man.

Speaker 5 (59:47):
That was creepy. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (59:48):
I was like, whoa, I will return the favor in
kind if you do some word ship to me like that,
like all my friends get tagged back eventually.

Speaker 5 (59:59):
Yeah. Yeah, well yeah, no, I was. I can't imagine
that was two years ago. Of course, you know, whatever
was going on today is going out today. Who the
hell those we we were we were standing out with
the reindeer earlier and.

Speaker 6 (01:00:21):
Yeah, so funny because you know those little one seater helicopters,
a little mini choppers. One of those flew over right
and everybody was like it was like, no, panic, it's
not a drone. I thought it was a drone.

Speaker 4 (01:00:43):
Well it was kind of hard breaking out over the drones.

Speaker 5 (01:00:46):
Everything is the drone. Yeah, stop the thing about the drone.
Like I said, that experience I had with the privacy, yeah, definitely,
I mean that bugs me. That's not right, Okay, But
as far. What's going on now?

Speaker 4 (01:01:06):
I mean shoot it out of your airspace.

Speaker 5 (01:01:09):
Yeah, don't do that.

Speaker 4 (01:01:11):
In Texas You'll lose a drone. You will lose a drone.

Speaker 5 (01:01:18):
My thing is this, I don't know.

Speaker 6 (01:01:20):
And I didn't look at angels going.

Speaker 5 (01:01:23):
Oh boy, here's what I was gonna ask you guys,
and I did. I think I looked up the law
in Michigan and I forgot because this is a couple
of years ago. If there was a drone flying in
my space, in my yard, and I had a illegal
weapon shotgun or whatever, and I blow it out of
the sky, Am I going to go to jail?

Speaker 4 (01:01:48):
Or?

Speaker 5 (01:01:49):
I wonder how that worked. I don't know how it
works in Michigan.

Speaker 6 (01:01:52):
Okay, I don't hear. If you're on city limits, you're okay.

Speaker 4 (01:01:58):
Yeah, you can't do it in the middle of downtown Dallas.

Speaker 5 (01:02:01):
No, But in the neighborhood the subdivision away.

Speaker 4 (01:02:05):
From the probably not a good idea.

Speaker 5 (01:02:07):
In the subdivisions, the rural rural area got an acre
of property. Edything goes, I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:02:15):
I'm like on the outskirts. I'm in town, but I'm
on the south side, which is kind of outskirts of town.
Like starting to peter out where I am, I'd shoot it.

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
Let me tell you what, I could probably pull it
down the high power pellic gun.

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
Really, you know that's not dangerous if you got if
you're a good aim but.

Speaker 5 (01:02:35):
After one of those rapid fires semi automatics.

Speaker 6 (01:02:39):
You could actually bring it down. You could actually bring
a drone down with a good sling shot. You can
take down with ring shot, but you could probably take
it down with one of those those little uh.

Speaker 4 (01:02:57):
Airsoft guns.

Speaker 6 (01:02:58):
Yeah, airsoft guns.

Speaker 4 (01:02:59):
Okay, those are tullets essentially.

Speaker 6 (01:03:02):
Because all you gotta do is just.

Speaker 5 (01:03:05):
You hit.

Speaker 4 (01:03:09):
One of them.

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
Yeah, one is gonna lose a slight pattern, It's gonna
lose control and boom down it goes.

Speaker 4 (01:03:14):
They just arrested a guy where Ristol is for taking
out an Amazon drone that was hovering over his yard. Dude,
he's just trying to over a package.

Speaker 6 (01:03:21):
Calm down.

Speaker 4 (01:03:23):
People are losing their minds, so this is what I mentioned.
Are they any ruguru do we Marty in New Orleans?
Monica Orleans? I think you met Monica, not Montana.

Speaker 5 (01:03:37):
Now this sounds like something else.

Speaker 10 (01:03:41):
Uh No, are there any rugar root in New Orleans
that they're in the swamp surrounding New Orleans, well.

Speaker 4 (01:03:56):
In the city limits. But they're not going to be
going down the parade route, are you do you go?

Speaker 6 (01:04:02):
Do you go to Marie Leveau's grave over there.

Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
In the cemetery. I don't want to get robbed.

Speaker 6 (01:04:14):
Huh, No, I don't.

Speaker 4 (01:04:15):
I don't go into the cemetery because I don't want
to get robbed.

Speaker 6 (01:04:19):
Oh oh really yeah, Oh never mind.

Speaker 4 (01:04:23):
Man, I mean, yeah, Saint Louis Cemetery. I can't remember
if she's in one or two?

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
I do.

Speaker 4 (01:04:30):
I mean, I'll go into there's one in the middle
of the Garden district. I think it's I think it's
number two. That's that's in the middle of the Garden
district that I will go into. But some of these cemeteries,
like when, well, you're not going to go I was
gonna say, when we go and we go to uh
because I'll go to the Cafe Dumont in City Park

(01:04:52):
and to get there from the French Quarter or from
the Garden district where I am, you have to drive
through a cemetery. It's literally a city of the dead,
like you were driving. I mean, it's a it's a street,
but on either side. It's just mausoleums. Mausoleums. It's crazy.
Those you don't go into.

Speaker 6 (01:05:13):
I'd like to go to the riddle of those grave
and I'd like to go madam. What was that other one? Y? Yeah,
she got killed all her slaves and.

Speaker 4 (01:05:27):
That's Lullery, the Lollery mansion that's in the middle of
the French Quarter.

Speaker 6 (01:05:34):
We need to talk about that story sometimes.

Speaker 4 (01:05:38):
Yeah, she was, she was very evil and she got away.
And some people think that she went out, oh gosh,
to Saint Francisville, and some people say she went and
went back to Paris. But either way, she got away

(01:06:00):
with it. And you know, she didn't stop. You know,
she didn't stop. There's some horrific stories.

Speaker 6 (01:06:06):
You don't you don't do that stuff and just stop.

Speaker 5 (01:06:08):
No, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:06:10):
Yeah, she was cruel. Yeah, we will have to talk
about that. I mean, that's a true crime thing. We
could talk about that.

Speaker 6 (01:06:16):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 4 (01:06:17):
So we could talk about, you know what we could
do even as we could talk about the true crime
ah in New Orleans, which would be Lollerie. There's another one.
There was another one, the axe Yeah, the axe man.

(01:06:37):
But there was another one who was you know, being
just horrible to their servants and mutilating them.

Speaker 6 (01:06:45):
Yeah, that's the one I was talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:06:47):
No, it's not lollery. It's a difference. It's it's separate
from lollery.

Speaker 5 (01:06:55):
On the subject of New Orleans Nolans, no, mus Rolin,
you're very good with your dialects. I'd be interested. I
bet you you could run into a vampire down there.

Speaker 4 (01:07:16):
Oh yeah, that's not hard. That's not hard.

Speaker 5 (01:07:21):
No, that's I mean, that's why I'm fascinated about that place.

Speaker 4 (01:07:24):
Yeah, I mean the sanguines probably not. I mean, in
my opinion that those are few and far between, but
energy vampires everywhere.

Speaker 6 (01:07:34):
That voodoo practice.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
Yeah, I mean, but voodoo isn't necessarily a bad thing. Yeah,
it's not. I think people are afraid of it because
they don't understand it. But and it looks scary, but
it's not.

Speaker 5 (01:07:54):
Why are stories.

Speaker 4 (01:07:57):
Well, I mean, it depends on the practitioner, like any
other thing.

Speaker 5 (01:08:02):
I was watching this movie The Serpent in the Rainbow
many years ago, and so do you think there's any
validity towards some of these voodoo doctors, which doctors that
you know, you're not local, you're from out of town.
Or whatever, and you happen into their shop and you

(01:08:25):
know they have these different potions, they have a sample
or whatever. The situation is where I've heard the stories
much like the movie where it slows down everything, your
heart beating, all this where you're almost dead and you
get buried in the graveyard in New Orleans, where you
literally would get buried in a coffin beneath the ground,

(01:08:49):
and then all of a sudden, once the potion wear off,
you're now alive and you're trying to get out. And
people would hear voices from the cemetery of people trying
to get out, and they thought there was perhaps vampires
or the undead trying to get out of the grave.
And I guess you covered certain people literally found people

(01:09:10):
that were buried.

Speaker 6 (01:09:13):
Where the whole bell came from.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
Yeah, I mean that wasn't just in New Orleans. I
was everywhere.

Speaker 5 (01:09:18):
Oh yeah, I just remember New Orleans from that movie.
I think or Haiti or hate ship around.

Speaker 6 (01:09:24):
The zombies are mostly HATOMBI.

Speaker 4 (01:09:27):
Yeah, it's got the puffer fish dust mixed into it. Yeah,
which is you know, the paralyzing agent.

Speaker 5 (01:09:34):
W you something else?

Speaker 4 (01:09:36):
Heck, yeah, well, I mean goofer dust, right, you can
make goofer dust.

Speaker 6 (01:09:42):
And you can blow that into sometimes.

Speaker 5 (01:09:46):
Yea, I need the I need you know what I got,
you know what I need to do them out of
the things for that, because I need the send me
the potion over.

Speaker 4 (01:09:57):
Recipe for goofer dust.

Speaker 5 (01:09:59):
That's to be my next practical joke on my buddy
to get back for these you can't do? Why not
you won't kill him?

Speaker 4 (01:10:07):
Yes, very well? Good? Oh yeah, no, ranking dust?

Speaker 5 (01:10:18):
What about just a small amount?

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
I mean, I'll tell you what we'll tell Okay, you
know what you do. You get in up here, so
you tell him all the.

Speaker 11 (01:10:28):
Stories about voodoo and about goofer dust and about zombie
dust and about all this stuff, and then like a
week later, like really laying on thick, let him know
all about it, like.

Speaker 4 (01:10:38):
Get into detail, will you know in fact? And then
a week later show up and then blow some regular
dirt in his face, say have good dreams tonight and
walk off. You got to get up there. Yeah, you know,
a lot of this is spicy psychology.

Speaker 5 (01:10:58):
A lot of it is. And I'd tell you what
was creepy because back I had one of my first
houses I bought. I bought next to my best friend too, right. Yeah,
And when I was married at the time, my wife's
parents went to Louisiana and they brought me back a
voodoo doll and it was cool. It was so cool.

(01:11:22):
I loved it. In fact, I didn't have a this
is my starter house, so I didn't really have it
wasn't that big. But I had a big, cool, two
car garage and I turned that into like the man cave, right,
And so everything was in there, furniture and some of
the trinkets that me and the wife were also collecting

(01:11:44):
at one point, and I had the corners sectioned off
where I put my other stuff away, and this you
guys know that story. But I had this voodoo dow.
It was sitting there forever since I got it. For
two or three years. My buddy would come over and
he was a fit sue with a do you know,
and and much like I was, and you know, and

(01:12:07):
this is a true story. I we always would marvel
at this, and I tried to cast spells on it
and say this is Brian. I would take pins and
try to stick it. I'm looking over the fence if
what was working. Yeah, it's so dumb, I am there.
That's how weird, I am. I was really trying to
conjure up some stuff, right, but the but the spook

(01:12:29):
and I did the text. Yes, you would probably not
befriended me if you would have met, you know, in
our twenties and thirties.

Speaker 6 (01:12:36):
So oh yeah, I would have. Yeah, I would have.

Speaker 5 (01:12:39):
Yeah, Okay, yeah, very good. So anyway, so but here's
the strangest thing. Then all of a sudden, it came
up missing, came up missing, and I'm like, I'm searching
all over the garage for this. I even asked why, Hey,
you see my voodoo doll, and I know how much
my friend loved it so much, so I go to

(01:13:00):
his house. Hey, man, you steal my voodoo doll. Dude,
Well no, that's creepy, man, I want that voodoo in
my house. So I'm going through his house's garage is
not there, and so it was gone you guys for
months up to a year, and me and the wife

(01:13:20):
we have to getting divorces that and the other. And
I'm boxing up all my stuff because she kept that house.
I went out, I'd go get an apartment or something.
So I'm boxing my stuff one day or the day
of moving in. So I starting with all my boxes,
setting up my apartment and kids, you not. And one

(01:13:43):
of the last boxes I opened, and my wife did
kind of help me moving out. We had an ambigrope divorce.
It was nothing. It was just a time to move on, right.
So one of the last boxes open, you guys, and
they set the voodoo doll in my box, which I
over here I call. I called my wife, Did you
really did you put this? Did you take this for

(01:14:05):
the last year and hide it from me, you know,
and put in the box to freak me out one
last time? No, I swear I did not. I would
not do that. I know how much you love that doll.
I call my friend, hey, man, did you sneak this?
You know, help me? When he gives the help me
movement as well box.

Speaker 4 (01:14:22):
No.

Speaker 5 (01:14:24):
So so I set it up, you guys, I said,
I take it out. I put it in a spare
room or whatever. And it was a small apartment whatever,
just put it away. A year or two goes by
where I finally buy another house, I move out, and
you know, in the room that I put it in
that I never really frequented. It was just like a
junk room. Do you know that when I went to

(01:14:46):
move out, I couldn't find that voodoo doll.

Speaker 4 (01:14:50):
He'll pop up, you know, doing his thing. He'll pop up, and.

Speaker 5 (01:14:56):
I'm wondering, says it did come from Louisiana. I'm wondering
New Orleans to be, you know, from me wherever the
dad her dad bought it for me was. I was
wondering if they put a little curser, little spell on
it to play tricks on me, you know, or whoever
bought it. You know.

Speaker 6 (01:15:15):
Well, I mean.

Speaker 4 (01:15:18):
It could be a lot of things wrong.

Speaker 5 (01:15:21):
Because I know I wasn't losing my mind.

Speaker 4 (01:15:25):
Did you ever see that horror movie with the Zuni
Fetished All where it comes to life because the gold
chain falls off of it that was binding its spirit,
and the gold chain breaks, so its spirit is set
loose and it comes to life and chases his chick
around her apartment in a bunch of Yeah, I that

(01:15:46):
you haven't seen the Zuni Fetished All. It's it's like
a trilogy, a trilogy of terror. Watch it terror, not
you rob? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (01:16:01):
Maybe not right.

Speaker 6 (01:16:04):
I did watch Teeth the other night.

Speaker 4 (01:16:07):
That's weird.

Speaker 5 (01:16:10):
Teeth.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
Yeah, teeth, it's a it's about Yeah, we're not going
to say where the teeth are located?

Speaker 5 (01:16:27):
Oh my god. Really, yeah, I would not. I would
not want to place the package that is.

Speaker 4 (01:16:34):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:16:38):
It is.

Speaker 4 (01:16:39):
I know that, but it's like maybe not as severe
as they're making it out, but I'm I couldn't imagine it.

Speaker 5 (01:16:54):
Sounds they wouldn't be the place to place the package.

Speaker 4 (01:17:00):
No, you want to keep your packages far away, okay.

Speaker 5 (01:17:05):
From the.

Speaker 4 (01:17:08):
Keep any kind of extremity far away from this condition. Yeah, well, Rob,
I'll bring you back a voodoo doll.

Speaker 5 (01:17:22):
Yeah, oh yeah, that'd be great.

Speaker 4 (01:17:25):
Maybe it just is out looking for companionship. And if
I bring you a voodoo doll, it will stop.

Speaker 5 (01:17:32):
Thank you, and it'll reappear again. They'll have two little buddies.

Speaker 4 (01:17:36):
Yeah, you'll have two of them to worry about. You're
gonna hear.

Speaker 5 (01:17:44):
Now, that would be a story if you did that
and my other voodoo dow all a sudden appeared again.

Speaker 4 (01:17:51):
Yeah, at the end of your bed.

Speaker 6 (01:17:54):
Yeah, oh my gosh.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
Yeah, you're never gonna be able to like share a
house with me at anymore.

Speaker 6 (01:18:06):
Like, uh, Monica, have you ever heard Bob Van Buren's
story about the Wigi board?

Speaker 2 (01:18:13):
Mm?

Speaker 6 (01:18:13):
You met Bob?

Speaker 5 (01:18:15):
Mm?

Speaker 2 (01:18:15):
Hmmm.

Speaker 6 (01:18:16):
So anyway, he was he was in his twenties and
he had an apartment and uh, I've known this cat
for forty years and we lived in the same apartment
complex for a while. But he, uh, I can't remember
if you borrowed a wigi board or yeah. I think

(01:18:39):
he borrowed a wigi board and that's.

Speaker 5 (01:18:42):
Not even good.

Speaker 4 (01:18:45):
Just borrow it. Hey, dude, what are you doing with
your regi board next week? And you mind if I
borrow it?

Speaker 6 (01:18:50):
So or he got left in his house or something
I don't know. But anyway, so there was a cat
that was in his apartment before that the guy died
in uh what actually they said he died, but the
real stories of that he may have gotten murdered in

(01:19:12):
the kitchen in this apartment.

Speaker 4 (01:19:14):
That sucks.

Speaker 6 (01:19:15):
So Bob gets a bright idea to try and contact
when this wigi board by hisself. Okay, Yeah, And like
I said, he's in his early twenties. He's not real smart, right,
so he, uh, something happens and it freaks him out.

(01:19:40):
So he puts the wigi board up, puts it in
the kitchen cabinet, right in the lower kitchen cabin Yeah,
so he goes to bed and see if I'm he
goes to bed and his his fan freaks out like

(01:20:08):
a bearing was going on, and he just starts squealing
right and it wakes him up. He goes and get
out of bed and he hits his foot on something.
The freaking Wigi board was underneath his bed.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
Oh, Helena, So.

Speaker 6 (01:20:26):
He's freaking out right, And I mean it's not funny.
I mean, I'm sorry, but but yeah, the if I remember,
the box was still in the cabinet, but the Wigi
board was under his bed.

Speaker 5 (01:20:46):
Yeah, that's it's funny to the extent that he's still
with us today.

Speaker 4 (01:20:50):
But man, oh man, you know all I think about
is little gauge under the bed.

Speaker 6 (01:20:57):
Uh right, Yeah, the same guy scratched. This is the
same guy that got scratched at the heelhouse. Stuff. Doesn't
like it.

Speaker 4 (01:21:12):
He needs to not.

Speaker 5 (01:21:14):
Not around with things, no doubt.

Speaker 4 (01:21:16):
He needs to go get like a cleansing, Go get cleansed.

Speaker 5 (01:21:21):
Oh yeah, he got those scratches and on his back
at that house right there and almost and almost, like
I always say, and that's just me, it looked like
there it was like almost some sort of pentagram was
starting and you guys.

Speaker 6 (01:21:37):
Are you know people?

Speaker 5 (01:21:40):
Yeah, it's just your perception is yeah, little gauge though.
Can you imagine walking fire bad? Little gage takes out
that scalpula or scalpel. I should say scalpulo that's Jesus,
but the scalpel that's the cuts your because you're Achilles

(01:22:02):
tended man, you cannot do nothing.

Speaker 4 (01:22:03):
Are you changing my background?

Speaker 6 (01:22:05):

this perfume. I don't forgot the name of it way
back when, but it started with the p and you

Speaker 4 (01:25:10):
Oh, hold on, I got to tell you the story
about the chicken vase. Chicken vase, the chicken vase. Hold on,
let me see if I can steal this photo because
you got to see the chicken vase. Yes, okay, So
Chris and I were walking through BUCkies one day, just randomly.

(01:25:33):
I love BUCkies. It's got everything it does.

Speaker 5 (01:25:39):
Yeah Christmas.

Speaker 4 (01:25:43):
Actually uh and there was this god awful glass, hand
blown chicken vase proudly displayed in the of the aisle.
In sarcastic smart ass Monica walks over, and if you

(01:26:06):
know me, you know, I am sarcastic as the day
is long, and a smart ass, like the day is long,
and I'm like, oh honey, oh honey, if you get
me anything, God is shining a light on this this chicken.
And I'm clearly like exaggerating, I am being dripping with sarcasm. Right.

(01:26:33):
Three months goes by and it's Mother's Day and I
open up my gift and it is this god awful
chicken nace and I'm staring at it and it's ugly,

(01:26:59):
and I'm thinking is my present inside of it? So
I'm like shaking it. So I'm sticking by. I'm looking
in the box.

Speaker 6 (01:27:09):
I'm like, where's real good?

Speaker 4 (01:27:13):
I was like, that's it and he goes, well, you
said you wanted it.

Speaker 6 (01:27:18):
I was like that.

Speaker 4 (01:27:21):
He goes, yeah, well you said if I get you
anything to get you that, and I was like, are
you I'm kidding me? I was like, look at my house.
Does it look like I want that in my house?
Do you know me?

Speaker 10 (01:27:38):
Sir?

Speaker 4 (01:27:39):
Have we met? Do you not know when I'm being sarcastic?
Are you kidding me? And I like, I don't normally
get upset about things. I don't. I know, I really don't.
I don't get upset. I appreciate that you gave me
something like by, but this was like so ridiculous, and

(01:28:00):
then rumbled down on it. I think that's what pissed
me off is that he doubled down. Well, you said
you wanted.

Speaker 5 (01:28:06):
It, Oh yeah, get out. But I will say this.
I will say this. You mentioned something I probably know
how I am today. I'd have bought the chicken vase,
but like you said, Monica, I probably would have put
something the cool present inside it, just to piss you
off in the beginning. And then you know, when you

(01:28:29):
unveiled the nice package that was inside the vase, even okay,
well yes, that's funny.

Speaker 4 (01:28:38):
I mean, and then he's like, we'll give it back
to me because he had bought it like three months ago.
He's like, I'll see. I was like, you can't take that.
You're not taking it back. I wouldn't give it to him.
I was like, nah, that's mine, that's my gift.

Speaker 5 (01:28:49):
And for those and for those three months, he could
not wait to get he could not He.

Speaker 4 (01:28:54):
Was so excited. Let me tell you, he was so
excited to give me this gift. Like he was like,
I got you excited, like you said you wanted. I
got you what you wanted. I think maybe that was
that's why I was disappointed, because I was like, oh crap,
what did I ask for? Like I'm excited now and
then I open up. You know that that's staring at me,
that's staring at me from a box, and that is

(01:29:17):
currently sitting on my desk at work because I'm like, screwed.
It's going somewhere like but.

Speaker 6 (01:29:22):
Not in my house.

Speaker 5 (01:29:23):
It's a nice paper.

Speaker 4 (01:29:25):
Huge though. It's huge, like it's like twenty two inches tall.
It's a giant.

Speaker 6 (01:29:32):
I tell you, I would have bought the base and
tried to find matching freaking glasses or something. Yeah, that's
what little.

Speaker 5 (01:29:43):
The little baby chicks, baby chicks, a set of baby chicks.

Speaker 6 (01:29:48):

I get you any And I was like, have we met?

Speaker 5 (01:30:06):
Do you know me?

Speaker 4 (01:30:08):
Do you honestly not know what? I'm being sarcastic, Like,
clearly you don't. Now, I'm just like, I'm questioning a
lot of stuff right now that you thought I was serious. Oh,
you've been married for what twenty something years? Are you
kidding me? Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (01:30:28):
I tell you what, that takes a cake for twenty years?
My mistake. I was only made no more seven twenty years.
You should probably know when you're selcast.

Speaker 4 (01:30:37):
I mean, if we were just dating, I'd be like, okay,
I got to tone it down. Yeah, deadpan stuff pretty well,
But come on, I was like, look around my house,
Look where you are. Look at this house. What in
this house makes you think that that is this that
that is the style that I want? What in this

(01:30:57):
house makes you think I want to look at that
every day?

Speaker 5 (01:31:02):
I mean, you can't even pour anything out of it.
There's no lip.

Speaker 4 (01:31:06):
I mean, you know it would have been even better
if they made a hole in the beat.

Speaker 5 (01:31:13):
You could you could drink some beer out of it.

Speaker 4 (01:31:15):
Fountain, crap at it. The things it's sitting on my
desk staring at me every day now, sits right there
next to my computer at work.

Speaker 6 (01:31:26):
I think that's hilarious.

Speaker 5 (01:31:29):
I do, kind of in a weird way. Things cool.

Speaker 4 (01:31:32):
You did save it, so, but yeah, I mean I
gotta throw something at him eventually. I'm kidding, I don't.
I'm not a thrower.

Was married to one of those. My first time we
got never been like that. We got, we got, we
got an argument, and I was like, screw it on

but there was no heat throwing off of it. And
I said, congrats, you just created cold fusion. You're gonna

make a ton of money. They're Prometheus. That was his
nickname for the next like three years, was Prometheus. So
the next year we gave him such crap. The first year,
I was like, dude, and I think I did stand
on one of the lugs at one point house there
is no heat, and so he built such a fire
the next year that we were all we all had

(01:40:36):
to move our chairs back and we all had like
sunburns because he was like Prometheus. That you feel the
heat now?

around a fire pit and we're all sitting around a

(01:41:09):
large chairs just in the summer. I'm like, look at
that a hole. Watch he's gonna fall in the fire
because the fire pit was built up of brick, so
it was maybe maybe eight inches high. And the fire,
you know, and this is a nice roaring fire, and
I know what song was on and possessed him to
start dancing, you know, stupidly, right, we're all kind of laughing.

So he goes backward. I go there he goes, and
he trips and falls backwards back and asks first into
the fire. Oh shit, he falls into the fire. And
you know, me with my best friend, I always paying
the jokes on. Everyone got up to try to help him.

book if you like the spooky side of Christmas. Again,
it's on Amazon, not expensive, ten fifteen bucks and you
won't be sad you got it.

Speaker 5 (01:49:57):
I might have to get there for next year's Christmas rounds.

Speaker 4 (01:50:00):
Of yeah you should, because it's got a lot in it.
Cool yep. So with that, we're going to bid you
all a fond farewell, have a good night, a merry Christmas,
and we will catch you guys on the flip side,
Bye bye,
