Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yesterday on the show, we're talking about Blue of course,
the fantastic TV show that's taken over the cartoon Dogs family,
and there's an episode where they all sit around at
Christmas and they have the hats on that come from
the crackers. Americans are very confused. A lot of people
have said online, why are all the different colors on

(00:22):
the hats on the dogs at Christmas? And what do
they represent? Because everyone's got different colors. Now we know
that is a traditional Australian Christmas Yes, where you have
a bond bondom and you put those hats on roughly
just for the photo. Usually they disintegrate with sweat. Yes,
we eat because thin and they're thin and sometimes you
need two of them put together for some of our

(00:44):
larger headed people.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Hello, You're welcome.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I'm shocked that they don't know about it. I thought
crackers were like the Christmas crackers were like a thing
that everybody in the world did.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Yeah, I was looking. I did a little bit of
recess last night. I was trying to find out like
different and like Christmas scenes and different movies, and yet
none of them have the Bondons Christmas crackers on the I.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Was sinking national imperions where they know the turkey disintegrates
and then they're all sitting there trying to eat nutcracker.
I'm thinking of other ones and there's always a Christmas scene.
There's always the Christmas scene around on the table, but
no nothing. We want to know, is this a shock
to you as well? Apparently only in Australia and the

(01:26):
UK people use bond bonds.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
I wonder if it's like even New Zealand and other countries,
or if it's just a I do not know. That's
the question. We're closing bonds.

mate over in Boston. She just said this.

Speaker 3 (01:46):
I'm Katie. I'm from Boston, Massachusetts, that's in America, and
I have no idea what you're talking about. When it
comes to these things called Christmas crackers. Crackers, we don't
have them, we don't enjoy them. I think I have
a ham on Christmas, lots of wine, but no crackers

(02:06):
