Welcome to another episode of I Tell You What So
my guy. Yeah, we have some Christmas rules that we
want to go over here. What are the Christmas rules?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yeah, this mom has some controversial rules for Christmas morning
that she said we should all adopt. And some of
them are to make sure that any toy that needs
to be built is put together the day before.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
What. No, you do that as a family, That's what
I'm saying. That's what you get your dad to do.
Get them off the couch, get them off taking a
nap and stuff. No, you get your dad up, you
get your mom up, and you go put that thing together. Yeah, exactly,
you have the thing together beforehand. No, definitely not. I'm
not opening up my kid's gift and doing that.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
Another one is if a toy needs a battery or
any accessory, it needs to be purchased with the gift.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
I do kind of like that rule a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I mean, it's a lot to ask, but most of
the toys now do come with batteries, right, they're kind
of cheap. They're kind of the cheap batteries. They're not
like the great batteries. They don't you don't really get
the name brand I don't even know what they are,
and they don't really last real long, like sometimes four
little spins of the game or whatever. So if you
do have a better batter, I'm kind of liking that rule.
I don't like the first one, but I'm on second
so much.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
Another one is for the toys that are brought to
the home, the same number of toys need to leave
the home. That includes whether you're either going to throw
them out or even through donation. That's ridiculous. I like
what I like what they're doing there. I think that's
kind of cool, though, but you can still cherish some
of the toys that you have.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
I think it's just gonna be all clutter. I am
before that rule, but.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
If it was like toys story, to get rid of
buzz light, you know what I'm saying, beyond this house, brother,
you have, but all the toys that be pissed you
get rid of the buzz man.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
They know who runs it.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
And then the last one is either buy the thing
your kid wants for Christmas or don't get it at all,
aka no knockoffs.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I kind of agree with that to a certain degree.
You know, like if your kid wants a certain shoe. Right, yep,
you get them that shoe, because otherwise they're gonna be
what you just cheaped out on me a little bit, right,
Well that to be ungrateful, But yeah, I think you
know if they're especially if they're at that age listen,
if they're three, no, oh really, if they're hold is
Lena eighteen months, she's happy with a spoon.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You can go into the kitchen and give us some
car keys. Remote Lind's the tupperware.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Stick in her mouth, Man big rules. Talk back on
the IHEARTRADIOPP listening to the Chris Caring Company.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
Hear what you gain.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I think we just became best friends because I love
my legos myself legs a little bit too much. I
definitely need to be a little bit more sharing with
my kids. But they know Danny's legos is Danny's legos,
and you guys have your own legos. We got to separate.
If they don't care, they mix pieces. I actually keep
up with my stuff and keep them together. I'm a
little bit, you know when it comes to my legos,
(02:36):
but came on to choose my country. I love you guys.
Good morning, I have wonder for today.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
I'll piss excellent, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Just love that. Rules when it comes to Christmas, do
you have any rules?
Speaker 5 (02:48):
I'gree with most of those wills. I don't open up
the package and put it together, and don't throw away
the toys. I'll give away the toys for Christmas. I
don't agree with that one. And also if you can't find
what they want and just give them a gift card,
can use my country.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Yeah that makes sense. Yeah, that's everybody's kind of got
their own little deal. We had a rule that you
can only open one present on Christmas Eve, and it
was always pajamas.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Every year. Every year you get pajamas. You knew it
was pajamas. Was it kind of then like a chore? Like, Oh,
I got to open up my pajama?
Speaker 3 (03:20):
No, not really.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I mean I was kind of excited about it, but
my mom never really back then, they never really prewashed them,
and they were kind of stiff as a board. Sometimes
you walked out it kind of felt like you were
wearing like cardboard pants. Yeah, you know, it's just so,
but there was that. But not to be ungrateful again,
So one year in my file.
Speaker 4 (03:37):
In law, they decided to make the kids do one
gift per hour, and they had about twenty gifts.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
What that lasted for about an hour?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
You could sit, drink enough to get over the chaos.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
You really thought one gift an hour was a good idea.
Not so for twenty hours. You're spending Christmas for twenty hours?
What you do with the just left?
Speaker 6 (04:02):
HEYK one O two? How are you? I just wanted
to see what everybody's thoughts on potlucks at work ard.
I absolutely hate them, and I think that they should
be outlawed. Nobody should have to bring tuber for potlucks
because not everybody contributes, but everybody sure.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Does eat all the food.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
I have it to day one of two is my country.
I like it.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
I like the potlucks. I kind of understand what you say.
I mean, sometimes it does get a lot out of control,
but you know, just do like what I do is
I can't really I should say. When I was single,
I just bring in like a bag of microwave popcorn,
just kind of check it on the finger, I go
pop it and put it in one of the balls.
Here at the radio station, people always grab some.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
You're surprised by my answer, I'm not about it. You yeah,
you will let food. No, definitely not. You don't know
what people are doing at their house when they make it.
What if their dog comes like up on the counter,
licks the food, and then all of a sudden.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
They're like, eh, whatever, and they just smirt clean.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
You don't think about it. You just don't think about
that stuff. You just plus most people, if they're cooking it,
it kills all that stuff.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Anyway, You can't eat at everybody's house.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
If they put food out here, don't even buy this.
If they put food out in our little breakroom over here,
dumbs the first.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
If it's made from a restaurant or fast food plates.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Yeah, but homemade, and I think he starts smelling it,
he starts diving in. Appreciate you listening to another episode

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
