Speaker 1 (00:15):
Oh hey, everybody, it's that time again. It's tricks with
TV and John. We survived, we survived. I will survive.
Mm okay. So I'm having nut coffee with a little
bit of Bailey's. Just a little bit of Bailey's, like
not much, God, because I put honey in my coffee.

(00:38):
So it tastes really good this morning. I feel like
we're too far away. I'm gonna move this in a
little bit. Oh, what do you mean we survived?

Speaker 2 (00:47):
What did we survive?

Speaker 1 (00:50):
You town? So we went to the hardware store the
other day and I went there to get a three lamp.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Harps.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
A lamp harp in case you don't know, and I
didn't know what it was, is that thing that the
lamp shade sits on. It looks it goes like that
and it's kind of sprung. Yeah, my finger is healing,
but it's not quite not quite there yet, but it's
so I went to get those. This one sees basically
a repurposed raft round raft, like something you would go

(01:26):
tubing in on the wall, and starts getting after me
about wanting the sled. It's just lad, it's just lead.
I want a sled.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Well yeah, yeah, because it's snowed, and you know, we
haven't done that together. So I thought, well, why don't
we do there?

Speaker 1 (01:43):
So I said no, no, no, two days I said no,
he did. And then on the third day, because the
snow was it was going to go away, we went
and we got this. We got the sled and uh
and then we went to the chair. Oh well, went
to the urgent care first and got my stitches out.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
John was taking me there because we did the sled oil.
She went down and flood.

Speaker 4 (02:09):
No.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
John went to urgent air has fingers.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Get to get my stitches dot.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
No big deal. But then we went and got the
sled and then we went sledding down the hill at
the golf course, which is probably not the brightest thing
in the world.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
No, everybody does it. It's it's a big, big here.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
And the other two people that were there there are
a bunch.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
Of kids, you know him adults. Mind you that mayor
Bob did come in. Bob came to, Mindy came in.
She's she was Stephanie Mayor. I don't know her exact
t but she's a big muketing mac with Madison.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
She's great risk.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
Management, risk tentament and They met us there at the
top of the top.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Of the hill pull in, and I think they thought
there was risk management issues of those going down to
hell and we didn't really think, uh, it would be
a problem, but it ended up being kind of dangerous.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Well because at the end of the hill is a
gully where we usually put our golf balls on the
first tee and on the eighteenth t If you miss
the eighteenth green and it goes down, it's going to
roll down this hill and into the gully. Well, the
gully is a creek on one side, but it has
a concrete a concrete bridge. Because I didn't want to

(03:21):
go in the deep the deep water and deep water
I'm talking about you know, eight inches deep, but it
was seven degrees.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
Yeah, it's really cold.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
So so I chose to go the other way. And
about halfway down the hill I realized the error of
my thinking because I head for I headed right for
this bridge. Just a little bit, will shoot, just roll
the roll the all the tape there, Tony and go
see yeah, oh gosh, golf course. Jo Okay here now

(04:02):
I'm operating.

Speaker 5 (04:07):
Hi, Mayor, Bob, how are you win?

Speaker 3 (04:12):
A great mayors checking on his thank goodness, we have
a nurse.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
You're stalling. That's I thought it was Tampa.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh my gosh, all.

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Right, rest management, you better stop before you get to
the creek.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Okay, stop.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
Yes, she didn't very Christmas meetings to.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
You.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
You can't see how is that?

Speaker 3 (05:15):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (05:15):
He waits for you? How did you steer? It's a
honest for me. Oh, I'm noticing these young folks have
gloves on. Holy jolly Christmas. And when you walk down,
thanks you do for low. I don't say.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Hello to friends you know much later at you. Oh
the mis hote. It's only where you can't see you
somebody it waits for you. Why don't you get her
once for me? Have a holy jolly Christmas. And in

(05:54):
case you didn't, you, oh my golly, have a house
shoving Christmas business.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
Hold in this suito.

Speaker 6 (06:28):
It's hung where you can see somebody.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
He waits for you. She's an answer for me. You
al must get.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
Honey.

Speaker 7 (06:48):
Was not fun.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
It was fun. And in case you didn't, you gotta
find him a slice that got to have a holiday shiving.
Oh my god, have a holidy Yep, that was fun.
Of cold hands. There's no filming Okay, I'm glad we

(07:17):
got the sled.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Thank you, Merry Christmas Day.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I love you. I love you.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
So well.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
That's so see it's hard for you to tell.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
But when I stopped, uh well, I stopped with this hand,
which it was probably, but I did stop because if
I hadn't stopped, I would have gone right down in
that in ex a culvert basically so it has more
concrete on that side. I think it would have been
bad if I'd have gone down on that side head first.

(07:54):
I think that would have been put that in a
bad pile. There's a third pile. There's naughty, there's nice,
and they're stupid. Put me in the stupid pile for
doing it.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Not gone in purpose, but probably would have not meant helpful.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I have momentum, I have inertia. I would have gone
in head first and then flip my legs over. Had
I not, I don't know if how I dug my
toes into the I mean, it's a little hill. If
this is it sounds so silly to be talking about it,
but it's the it's the catch bin at the end
of the little hill. That's really because when people first said, oh,

(08:32):
you know in Madison, they go.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
I was making jokes.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
About you know, if we do that, you'd slide down
into the Ohio River.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
No way we're doing it there. I knew that.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
But had we even because that's where the most snow was,
had we done it there at all? There's this notion
that you can stop. You can't stop now. So I
heard that, Oh, well, the kids, the kids go do
it at the golf course.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
I'm thinking where. Oh, right off the pudding.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Green in the eighteenth and the eighteenth green there was
a ditch down there. Oh yeah, that's what stops some.
This one young man who you just saw in the video,
he's the one that takes off running it like that.
He uh, I said, if you're going in the water yet?
He said five times. So his pants were frozen. You
could hear him walking up the hill line. Oh it was.

(09:22):
It was great.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
So that was It ended up working out perfectly.

Speaker 1 (09:25):
Now we have the sled prominently displayed on a lounge
chair in the front window, and the sled is still
doing fine. I was shocked that that thing actually slid
the way that sled slid the way I did, sled
slid the way it did. I think it's repurpose all.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
The Christmas decorations on it. So it was definitely for
the snow you can put and yeah, technically it's like
for tubing, okay, whatever, but sled slay tubing. But it
was fun to get everyone's opinions because they're like, oh,
I would just use an old piece.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
There's a piece of cardboard. Good thing about a piece of.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Card cardboard or a garbage bag, and like people do that,
I guess they do.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
Oh yeah, well, good thing about an old piece of
cardboard is you can you can bail. But the thing
about this particular sled is that, because it's basically meant
for tubing, I think, uh, your butt is way down
in it, and you really can't. I don't know how
you could bail out of that, but I sure gave

(10:28):
it serious consideration right just before I got to the
concrete And by the way, when you see a sign
that says, uh, ice forms on bridge sooner than the road,
that's what that was. It was basically a concrete bridge.
So when I hit it, when I was supposed to
be slowing down, I went. I went a little bit faster.
Now we're not talking about great speed here, but but

(10:51):
like I said, it was seven degrees and there are
only two. I'm not going to call us adults. I'm
just going to call us big people because I don't
think there were any adults other than mayor Bob on
that hill. I wonder if.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Creek okay, I got, I don't go to creek.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Clear of the corner I was.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I was, and then John wants to avoid That's when
he goes over to the bridge instead.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah, and culvert ye hanging.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
Off by like I don't know, like a hand right
about that much. The sled was hanging off in the bridge.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, So it was fun.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
It was fun.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
It was fun. I'm glad we got the sled.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
I well kept fan.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
John, just get her the sled. She's not gonna quit.
They didn't call you the terminator, but you were like
the sledinator. I will have a sled. You would get
me a sled.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
You had welchuir. But you've had a few people saying,
she out of her mind? Why would she want to
do that? It's dangerous.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
I didn't think you actually wanted to use the sled.
I thought you just wanted it.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Why would I just want this led?

Speaker 1 (12:00):
I don't know I wanted to go. You have hats
you haven't worn?

Speaker 3 (12:06):
I do try to wear them.

Speaker 1 (12:07):
If I haven't, well, try is the operative word.

Speaker 3 (12:11):
I do have a few hats. I'm not boy, however, Muswolf,
since you part up the hat. We always give away
a hat every week. And this is Christmas e and
fine and makes noise little bells, little jingle bells, jingle,
jingle jingle. Just hearing those ways wing ring ting tingling too.

(12:33):
I think this one of my very you no, no, no,
there you go. You look great, and I'm a little wealth.
John Sandy gets a related elf hat.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
It's an elf hat anywhere elves any hat in a storm.

Speaker 3 (12:53):
Here's the question. Whoever answers the question? Where is the hat?

Speaker 1 (12:58):
So?

Speaker 3 (12:58):
What is the coldest place in America? The coldest city?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
That's the question, Like historically or right now mountains, what
is known as the coldest city.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
Yes, it is absolutely known as the coldest city in America,
and we're not there. In fact, it's a heat wave today.
I think it's like fifty degrees. Before it was like
seven six four two negative.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
I can tell you the coldest I well, shoot, I
think I know the answer to that because I worked
there one Christmas time. Well, I'm sure I would do
a show. I'm not going to say where it was
or what the show was.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
They're super smart. They will get smart.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
I know quickly. I know I did a show where
I would I would show up and this was a musical.
I would show up with my coffee in my rented
van and I would take my last ship and leave
some in there for the for the trip back. The
show's two hours longside was gone two and a half

(14:00):
hours frozen solid. I mean a coffee sickle and uh,
and that would happen in a matinee in the afternoon.
That would happen.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And it was just it was so cold that it
wasn't cold.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
It was weird.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
It was that's when you can throw a hot water
up in the air and a breezeze.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
This place definitely known as the coldest.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
The snow would blow across the across the road. It
wouldn't accumulate anywhere because it was so cold that the
snow there was no moisture in the air anyway.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
But Madison was cold, but we enjoyed it because we
had just left Palm Springs. Go ahead, baby, you can hurt. Yes,
good one. All stay. So we were in Palm Springs,
warm and really hot. You know when we were playing.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
It was eighty two degrees. It was amazing, but you
know that because you all were I don't want to
set the elfat on fire.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
I don't have a cold, but I'm a.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Little stiffly this time you hear that happens, I'm going to
hear you talk for a moment.

Speaker 3 (15:10):
So we're in Palm Springs, had a wonderful time playing golf,
had a wonderful time John's concert.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
Palm Springs is not the coldest place in the cutting
down and in fact, it was twenty degrees hot, warmer, hotter,
I guess than it usually is.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
And we went in a good time, but we thoroughly
enjoyed the cold. When we came back. Oh yes, because
the snow is beautiful. It was a difference. You know
what a variety is, the spice of life. So we
like different environments, but that definitely was a difference. The
pendulum swung.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, it was something, and we had a great trip
back in our hats off to Delta Airlines. By the way,
because when we were leaving, was it right at first?
Was that we were leaving Palm Springs or was it
or no, it was our layover in Salt Lake. So
we flew from Palm Springs to Salt Lake, which is

(16:05):
a pretty easy flights, about an hour and hour and change.
And then gosh, listen to me, I'm all stopped up.
Then we we're gonna fly from Salt Lake to Cincinnati.
And we got on a plane and the doors closed
and we're all and then actually know the doors didn't close.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
I think that's I think that's important.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
In how delta, how airlines categorize what happened. There was
some mechanical problem. Now we're working on and we're going
to get it fixed probably, And they worked on it
for an hour and then they said, well, we're not
going to get it fixed, so get out and we're
gonna well please watch your step and go back to

(16:46):
the plane, back to the terminal, and we're going to
work on getting another plane.

Speaker 3 (16:51):
And they did. We're thinking, yeah, that's going to be bad,
because you know, it's Christmas time. And I looked at
we we're thinking about spending another day in Palm Springs.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
For get it.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
There were no flights that were no seats or certain
hotels forget it.

Speaker 1 (17:05):
But ten minutes it worked out. Ten minutes they had
they said, okay, everybody go to gate forty, like two
gates down yep, And they had another plane. And as
when the people got off that the first few I
think you were in the restroom. The first guy that
got off that plane just ran like well, like O. J.

(17:25):
Simpson used to do in the Hurts commercials. I think
it was Hurts because he had a connector had a connector.
So that flight, that flight was late from somewhere, maybe
Los Angeles, I don't know, but a bunch of the
people who got off that flight did that. Gosh, I
remember doing that. I'm so glad. I don't ever want
to run through an airport again. But we got on

(17:46):
the plane. Uh and what took the longest? You remember?
Oh yes, he got a plane.

Speaker 3 (17:55):
Oh yes, like that. But then I saw the truck.
His kid, This kid pulled up.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
In the truck catering truck.

Speaker 3 (18:03):
It came up and to start it like pushing and
pushing train some stuff that was this high and he
kept pushing. Oh my god, oh my god. Everybody else
is sitting around and this poor kid is the only
one moving.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
The food right one guy and he had to have
gone to the plane we were originally on, yeah, and
taken all the food off of it put it on
this truck.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
I was like, oh my god.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
He was looking out the.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
Window going okay like that.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
I don't know if he hope he noticed. I hope
he knows he was appreciated because he worked his butt
off that night. Then we wound up being what an
hour and an hour, an hour fifteen minutes late, was
no big deal. We're very happy with Delta, but Delta
did a great job. Pardon me again, Yeah, we have.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
We had very very good luck with Delta. I mean,
do you try to fly him.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
With my brother flew for In fact, it's Mark's birthday
right now.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
Happy birthday, Mark.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I got it well. By the time you see this,
it'll be yesterday. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday, dear Markday to you.

Speaker 7 (19:04):
Well done. And your father was a pilot yep, my
father was a pilot. My nephews are pilots, both of them. Yeah,
Brian and Stavis are both pilots.

Speaker 3 (19:15):
We went Virgin Airline, which is an affiliate of Delta.
When we went to England and that was Fawn and
that was a great light Was it in virgin You
liked that?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Right? Yep? That was great. And then we went to
New York. We went to New York recently on Delta
as well, so that was great. Delta has been great.
My brother started with Delta in nineteen seventy eight when
I started Dukes, so it was a big year, big
year for us. And he retired and I'm still at it. Oh.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Well, and then brother Bob a mayor.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
Brother Bob. I love you, brother Bob.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
He's working on a big grant.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Bob and Susie came to.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
New York.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
That was to New York to see the show. That
was a lot of fun.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Gosh, I should have used my nasal spray this morning.
I might in a minute if if I sneeze a
I might. So what did we just finish? Oh? I
think we talked a little bit about this last week. Indeed,
he was like, I just don't like those those sorts
of that sort of entertainment, that dystopian society entertainment.

Speaker 3 (20:25):
Well, for a while.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
She was so hooked, so hooked on this show. We
just finished watching Silo and my gosh, what a show
that is, and if you're not familiar with it, check
it out. It may not be, it might not be
for you. But there's an actor named Stephen Zohon that
is so everybody in it is really good, but he

(20:49):
is so good. He's such a puppy. I don't want
to give anything away, but he's He's just an amazing
Stephen's probably not quite my age. Maybe he's sixty. Maybe sorry, Stephen,
maybe you're fifty. I don't know. I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
But that's the better known actors of Tim.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Tim Robbins is in it. He's fantastic as well.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
That's very good.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
And the reason is that Rebecca.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
First, she is one of the Tom Cruise gals in
Mission Impossible British. She was at my sixth I don't
quite remember. I don't remember. She's the one in the
don't remember name, but it's.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
In the tent with the gun like that in the sandstorm.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
Three of them. She's quite good on us.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
She's very intense.

Speaker 1 (21:37):
But my god, I watched a little documentary because we've
we've watched the whole thing now and I was there's
two more seasons apparently that they've already shot. That they're
putting together now. But it is intensely filled with the
most amazing visual effects that you could ever see. They

(21:57):
are so amazing that you don't realize that's what they are. Well, actually,
key the visual effects is make them so people don't go, oh, well,
that's a good visual effect world.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
We'll put it that way, and not a pleasant one.

Speaker 1 (22:09):
It's a silo. They live in a silo. Uh, not
a little one, a huge one.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Yeah. They won't give anything away, but basically they go
to at the end, it's the beginning about how it
all started. And you know, these are things people worry about,
like you know, world War three and nuclear war and
you know, uh, just ending up in a one.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Yeah, we're one crazy person away, you know.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Yeah. So to me, Okay, I did get hooked on it,
but I'm glad it's done because it's very it wears
you out, very dark and very negative, and it is fascinating.

Speaker 1 (22:45):
I see, I see it's very hopeful. I see it
as that if you have a will to live and
you appreciate true freedom. And you have to even used
this word because I've often said I think I put
it in a script, but the most important attribute that
a human being can have is curiosity. Curiosity is the

(23:09):
seed for every great invention. Curiosity is the seed for
every great event. Somebody said, huh, I wonder if and
they went for it. So that's what we've got. We've
got in this show. We've got very basically there's two
kinds of people. People who are curious and who do

(23:30):
not accept the status quo because something just doesn't quite
make sense. And then who are complacent, you know, people they'll.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
Do whatever, okay, and it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
If you're a sheeple, then that's okay, you know, in
each she people so that the herders will have someone
to heard. But it's very clearly defined.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Yeah, they that line of demarcation, and the people will
do whatever.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
And there's one character says.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
They call him mayor.

Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, they call him mayor. And then there's even one
one spot where one of the characters, a wife of one.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
Of the.

Speaker 1 (24:09):
One of the leaders of the of the silo, says,
you know, we're gonna it's time we make a choice,
you know, because a lot of times people live on
the fence. Uh, and they'll they'll postpone, they'll stall making
that choice. I don't want to make the choice. Actually,
I think when in the video you saw of us
going down the hill, when when Dede was going down

(24:30):
the hill, she's like, oh, hi, Mayor like I said,
you're stalling. He did. But so there's that element too.
So if you haven't seen Silo, it's just called Silo.
It's not the Silo. It's Silo and it's Apple TV.
And I cannot even begin to imagine how much this
show costs.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
But it is gorgeous.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
In a distance.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
What was that dark Atropolis?

Speaker 1 (24:57):
It's kind of like if you're a film person, it's
kind of like metropolish. But on on uh on steroids.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
Got to watch that. That was on the other night
that actually, because I always wake up early rarely.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
I never do, thank god John sleeps.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
A little later later.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
But just it was it's dark, and I'm glad it's
over for now because we've had enough, in my opinion,
we've had enough Silo in our life.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
Give me Mo, Give me Mo.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
And we try to watch a Christmas show every day
and last night was Prosty Snow Happy Birthday.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
I still don't know why he says happy birthday, but
it's very cute. We watched that and Jimmy Duranty was
the host of that show, and we had The Grinch
the night before, and then we've done Peanuts, so I
tried to watch the other Grinch. I just yeah, sorry, Jim.
Jim was amazing as the Grinch, but they just too much,
too much serial filler. They deviated obviously the Grinch. How

(25:59):
The Grinch Old Christmas is only twenty four minutes long,
I think maybe twenty eight and then they had to
flesh that out for the movie. But it was like,
come on. The makeup was amazing for the time. My god,
the visual effects were fantastic. How Jim Carrey was able
to maneuver in all of that stuff, He's phenomenal. I'm

(26:21):
just now really realizing how talented Jim Carrey is.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
I just watched something on YouTube that showed.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
Like the greatest impressions of Jim care and he turns
into those people. It's it's he'll be there, Jim Carrey.
And when he first started, he would turn around away
from the camera and then we turned back with you know,
lifting his collar up or just he would just he'd
be that person, he'd be Jack Nicholson. It was amazing
because Joe Biden is prettyouh.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Yeah, I once and he was great. He was charming
the knives and yep, kind of normal.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yep, yep, but with that face, it just can do anything.
He did a movie with Martin Landau who you and
Paul knew? Well, I knew I knew Martin from a
poker game. But he did a wonderful movie about a
movie theater called The Majestic, and remember that.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's very good.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
I think Martin might have won an Academy Award for
I know he did for ed Wood, right, he won
an Academy Award for playing La Legosi in ed Wood.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Well, and honey, I you know you have done a
ton of Christmas movies. You were quite big in the
Christmas movie world.

Speaker 1 (27:31):
Well, thank you, thank You's.

Speaker 3 (27:33):
Like the friends and fans, what they like the most
is Christmas goes to Willow Creek. They love that or
you all love that, it seems and let us know
which ones you like and go to the store and
you can grab maybe not that one, but Christmas.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I don't know if you can get it from the store,
but you can certainly run them online.

Speaker 3 (27:51):
You can get Christmas cars at the store.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Christmas cars you can get at the store. John Snider
stop Jingle Smells, Ingle Smells. I think Jingle Smells is hysteric.
I think the guy that plays my son did a
great job. I've never seen it. Uh no, Oh my gosh,
We've got to watch Jingle Smith.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
I haven't seen Christmas Cars either.

Speaker 1 (28:10):
I know what we're doing later today, we're watching Christmas
Cars and maybe Jinglesmith.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well, we do have a couple of days left. Actually
if you until Christmas.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Well, tonight I have that show seventeenth. This is actually
Wednesday when we're doing this tomorrow night, which will be tonight.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
Can you it's in Lebanon, Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
I think it's so.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't think you can.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Well, I think if it's every weekend close. But it's
a lot of a lot of our friends, I mean
a lot of It's it's sort of you know, we
wanted to do a couple of Christmas shows this year,
and New York is quite different than Tennessee. So I
think it'll be fun. A lot of folks that you know,
that we know are going to be there. Yep, So
it'll just be a neat like I think Christmas party
for us, So come on over, you know, if you're

(28:53):
in the area, and we'd love to see you, and
I might actually the capacity, but I think what they
do is and make make it kind of I could
coz your spot, but it's not like there's not room
for other people, I believe, right, and if not, my
figure it out well.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
But full is full, Full is full. So we're gonna
do that tonight, and then I think that's it for
for a while. I'm wearing my hicic golf shirt because
we go we belong to Old Hickory Country Club just
outside of Nashville. Uh, and it's too cold to play golf.
So I'm kind of, you know, by proxy. I'm a

(29:26):
golfer by proxy right now. I mean, look, if.

Speaker 3 (29:29):
It was if we're there today, or if it gets
this warm lane.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
This is awful.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
I mean it would be cold, but we can do
it in the fifties. I'd rather be the sixties, but
fifties could work. Could you golf in the fifties?

Speaker 1 (29:42):
Oh yeah, yeah, I'd have to wear another my fingers. Yeah,
I don't believe. I played golf with this finger week
twice las.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
Week twice, two days in a row.

Speaker 1 (29:56):
I learned, but I learned how to keep these fingers off?

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Did you do that like you're off?

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Well, it's that finger too, huh. Anyway, what uh? Oh gosh,
it was favorite Christmas. Oh, I went to gild Gerard.

Speaker 3 (30:15):
Your favorite one, and then we'll get.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
To Gil gill is a great guy, Gil gild yours.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Ye, yeah, your Christmas movie honing that I did, that
you did, and then in general, but I guess it's
probably the same.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Well, it's hard to beat Christmas in Tune. Christmas in
Tune was really good.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
It must have been the missiletoe, what's the other words?

Speaker 1 (30:46):
No, no, no, no, the falling snow, the magic in
no cross the air that made me love, the feeling
of John.

Speaker 3 (30:56):
That was a good movie. And I have seen that
when we watched it last year.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
I really really liked Merry Christmas, and I've almost forgotten
about that wonderful little movie watched this year.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
That was shot, Yeah, that was shot. I directed it.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
It was shot out in Agra Hills, California, in July,
which is when you always film Christmas movies so that
they can be they can be out for Christmas. Now,
Agora Hills in July is probably ninety five one hundred
and it was Tom Bosley. I loved I think it
might have been Tom's last movie we were. I loved it.

(31:33):
And then what did we see like a couple of
days later where Tom was Tom was in it was
it was it Bye Bye Birdie the doctor. He played
a doctor in some anyway, Tom Bosley was wonderful.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
I will tell you what fun fact funny. Actually, John
did a movie that had something to do with the
points on a farm.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
I don't know what cetas or point SETIA don't don't
know how to say it, but.

Speaker 3 (32:01):
We are we all know what they are, so we
we're at well.

Speaker 1 (32:05):
I know, so you say a point set a expert, well.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
So you know it's gorgeous. Would bring it in in
this one takes it outside. It's a tropical plan. He
kills it. He killed the points at a and you did.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
It was only out there for about an hour.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
Did a movie where you ran or you owned the
points at a farm?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
They were plastic in the movie. I know I can't
kill a plastic.

Speaker 3 (32:27):
Side, but the points out outside, I know you can't
do it. And believe me, it's gone. It did not last.
But in fact, when I brought it in. It was
really pretty when I looked at it on the way
out because John finally brought it in. It's like Brown,
it's bad.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
It was only out there. It was a mistake. He's
out there for about an hour.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Charlie Brown points at a well.

Speaker 1 (32:47):
But I was just thinking, well, I just saw a
bunch of beautiful points set is outside, so it must
be okay. Well that was my hothouse. That was Palm Springs.
No outside of the hotel in Palm Spring a tropical plan.
So I've seen the error of mine. Why did we
select a tropical plant to be the official plant?

Speaker 3 (33:05):
They're beautiful and it was so pretty for an hour.
What made you think it should be put outside?

Speaker 2 (33:11):
It's a plant. You plant them, you put them outside.

Speaker 3 (33:16):
Well it's gone instead, Well.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
It may come back, you know, they do go dormant. Also,
I also watered it because it was dry.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
I guess I iced it. Yeah, that was a mistake, Tony.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
I'm going to send you a picture of this so
people know how about it. It was his beautiful points
at it, and now it's not. But when we went
to Lowe's what I really wanted to get with the bumble.
That was another show we saw this week brought off
the Red Nose, Ring Near and the Abominable Snowman.

Speaker 1 (33:44):
The bottle was huge.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
How cool would it be to put on our back porch?

Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, I'd be fishing it off the neighbor's roof. And
the end like my pants, my workout pants. Oh my god.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
And we're glad we're here in and it's for a
little bit again. We're going to Lebanon for John's concert.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Tennessee and it really Willnessee.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
We're not going to yeah, not across the ocean, no,
not right now there, but Levanon, Tennessee.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Is here.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
It's beautiful over there. But I'll just look at.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Pictures and we're just doing like it.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
This is kind of like a fun show with friends,
you know. It's sort of our Christmas party of the year.
It's turned out to be the show because it's all
these friends that are coming in.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
Right, you made it?

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Who's okay, great, it's going.

Speaker 3 (34:34):
To be that kind of show. It's it's uh, you know,
that's fun.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
Gary and Susan are going to be there.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
That's what I mean.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
That's my friends coming and Tina are not going to
make it. Sorry, folks, I know. Uh Tina's mom. Is
you got to take care of Tina's mom. So that's good. Uh.
Friend of mine. Now, I've known on and off for
forty something years. I was a big buck Rogers and
the twenty first century fan. Uh and this gentleman I

(35:00):
met through Jack Skaggs. Jack, you're probably watching Hello Jack,
Hello Jane.

Speaker 3 (35:05):
Isn't he that fast and furious guy? Or no, that's
Jack Gil.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Sorry, that's Jack Gil. Jack Scaggs. Jack Scaggs is my
retired long time ago retired. He's old, he can't retaliate
right now anyway. He's a he's a dear friend of
mine who was twenty or thirty years on the California
Highway Patrol. So he introduced me to gils Gerard. Gil

(35:29):
Gerard Well, he's also he also is great friends with Eric,
with crazy Eric Eric. But gil Gerard passed away now
it'll be two days ago. I suppose wonderful, wonderful guy,
salt of the earth. So Gil your family are condolences
to your family. I've died. He never met you. I

(35:52):
love you. I hope you're you're making Heaven a better place.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
I'm quite sure you are in a funny place.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Funny place.

Speaker 3 (36:00):
It's a big show. I didn't really watch it, but
I was looked like it was.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
A good show. I love buck Rogers. It was great.
There were there were like nineteen ninety nine people and
and there was some other thing that Lauren Green was on.
What was Lauren uh space?

Speaker 3 (36:14):
So to show you're talking about it? So was Battlestar Galacted, Yeah,
thank you.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Yeah, there were there were those folks. Buck Rogers was
a little more campy than that, but anyway, uh mischief mischief, yeah, camp.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
But another debt that was really really gosh. We don't
want to be Debbie Downer, but everyone's talking about it,
and I have to mention it. Rob Bryan our Son.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
And Michelle Well and Michelle I can't forget mom and dad.
Both of them are terrible. Yeah, mental mental health is serious.
It's real ill mental illness. Pardon me, and if.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
You if you very upsetting.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
I don't know what possibly could have been done to
avoid to avoid what happened just a.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Couple of days ago, a couple of nights ago.

Speaker 3 (37:02):
It was so shocking because I always get up her
a little, like I mentioned, it was like and it
happened that night and John was asleep and it took
everything a hand not to wake them and say you
will not believe what happened. You know, not a good
way to wake up. But when everything's happened like that,
always when John to know right away, Well, I did
do that when Kathy Bock was in a hospital, and
then I know he'd want to do that in any
text her and she got back to him right away.

(37:24):
But anyway, what terrible news that that happened. It's hard
to get your head around it.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
So they are we just watched the news a little
bit about it. There, uh there, California is charging him
with two counts of first degree murder. Hello, And obviously
that's the trash guy, Yeah, the green trash can guy Dan.

(37:53):
So it's gonna be it's gonna be a tough one,
uh because obviously, you know, the first thing you think of,
first thing I think of as well. Anybody that could
do that obviously has some mental health issues. So I
don't I don't know what. I don't know what's gonna
come of that. And certainly I think I've said on

(38:14):
the podcast many many times, I love sparring with with
Rob Reiner on X you know, because we could not
could not have been more.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Its diametrically opposed.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Is that the word opposed? Yeah? So but my god,
nothing nothing yeah, politically nothing. Something like this should never
ever happen to anybody. And the the scar that is
going to be left on this family now, because my god,
the movies, Rob Reiner just go back to to All

(38:47):
the Family, got all the Family, then you got his
final tap, then you got Sally. Harry met Sally then
and I forgot. He directed A Few Good Men and
Princess Diary Princess Briane. Oh sorry, Princess Briane. Yeah, but
he directed that amazing movie that Tom Cruise and Jack
Nicholson were in.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Uh, A Few Good Men.

Speaker 3 (39:06):
I love that movie.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So this guy was an incredible talent and that's he
He should have one one day in his late nineties, uh,
passed away peacefully drinking a pinut Colada on a beach
somewhere this and and then everybody would remember these amazing
this amazing body of work, and and that's that's gone.

(39:32):
Not that the body of work is gone, but this
is what people are going to remember. And what a
travesty yet is that Carl Carl, My god, Carl's still here.
No Carl, Carl pests Okay, then his his surrogate uncle
mel Brooks is certainly.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
She's still around stated by this, but it's so, it's
so shocked, so sad, because one it's they're so but
also in the manner in which he did it, he
just stabbed them the dead. It's very upsetting. So anyway,
you know, just.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
So prayers for Rob Reiner's family and Michelle Reiner's family
to somehow hold their their their world together. You know,
the other kids are here, and I believe it was
the two others. It was the daughter that turned in
and found them because apparently they've been in some argument.
I don't know. I don't want to say stuff. I

(40:30):
don't don't know how.

Speaker 3 (40:30):
Young, but she's thirty five or anything. I mean, she
might she looks all of maybe twenty two. I don't
know our age, but well really it might be seventeen
and twenty five kind of I think it not range.
But how terrible for any age. But you lose both
your parents at the hands of your brother. How do
you even deal with that?

Speaker 1 (40:50):
Yeah? Yep, So, like DEDI said, like I said, wrong,
but mental health is important. Mental illness is real, real,
So if you've got somebody in your family that is
questionable or if you are questionable, and you know, I
I blame. But you know, there's so many people are

(41:17):
so medicated now, you know people people are are wanting
to get people on some form of expensive medication.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
And I think we've gone, you know, like like in
John and I.

Speaker 3 (41:30):
Don't take anything. I mean we really don't.

Speaker 1 (41:32):
I'm still taking my antibiotics, but you know, we don't
take any kind of drugs.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
I mean a lot of you need to and that's
fun and for health reasons, but we are very anti
prescription drugs if we can help it.

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Yeah, And when you see a commercial, a lot of
times they'll say, you know, may cause suicidal thoughts or anger,
may cause you anger. So I don't know where the
where the trial is going to go with all that,
but it's certainly got to go somewhere into that area and.

Speaker 3 (42:07):
Break if they think he's got mental health issues, and
he clearly does so he may not, you know, in
California is the liberal states, and who knows what.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
No, but California has a death penalty.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Right but I don't, which is because he clearly is
mentally disturbed and if that's the case, they'll probably just
keep him locked up. Will happen well, and you know,
so if they'll even survive that, oh it's just terrible.

Speaker 1 (42:30):
But so again, prayers and and out to the writer
the family.

Speaker 3 (42:36):
What we have that we have lovely friends and family
and a great life, and we are very thankful for
that and thankful for all of you because we have
lovely friends and fans. I wouldn't say I have, man.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
You do, but you've got at least three fans three,
well maybe.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
Maybe seven, maybe six, but it's an odd number.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
No, sick, it's going to be an odd number. Six, No,
you get no, I said seven, I said three.

Speaker 3 (43:03):
Those are odd numbers, okay, somewhere double single digit.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
And that's okay.

Speaker 3 (43:11):
Where John has millions of fans, and he really does. However,
some of them are not so yeah, sorry, but we
know that mental illness is real. Most ninety nine percent
are great. There are a few that are like yelling
at me, telling me stay away from my husband, telling
me oh yeah, and I showed Johnny's messages. I'm like, look,

(43:35):
I have to deal with this because they're obsessed. We
get these people obsessed with John and in one way
or the other, they're they're weird, too dangerous to not dangerous.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
No, I'm worried.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
Well you should be.

Speaker 1 (43:49):
Now.

Speaker 3 (43:49):
We we're very aware of that. And it's nothing like
what poor Roberunner and his wife had to deal with.
But we do have folks that should not be.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Around, and we have very sane folks, almost.

Speaker 3 (44:04):
Like a nine point nine percent. But there's that little
bitty group that they think they're married to John Schneider.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
Well they may be. It might be the Seahawks, John Snyder,
it might be the Tomato blue Jays John Snyder. AI
might be Bob was my friend John Schneider. John Schneider,
could be could be all of those anyway, married to.

Speaker 3 (44:26):
The Blue Jays coach according to the Internet. According to AI, I.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
Was married or and you are emotionally unstable?

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Now what did they say? What was it dealing with?

Speaker 3 (44:40):
I forget what they said anyway, just crazy And I
had never met him, but we have met the Seahawks
general manager. What great guy? Love his why? Yeah, loved
them And I just didn't just say yesterday that you know,
they're like people that we just love.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
They're wonderful. Yeah, they're really nice people. But what was
I going to know, going to get off that subject
onto something else? But I don't remember what it was.

Speaker 3 (45:03):
It must have been.

Speaker 2 (45:04):
Oh, it's hard.

Speaker 1 (45:05):
It's hard to know. It's not that it's uh. We're
also watching in the news that that they've they've not
found any suspect uh in Rhode Island yet. Yeah, which
is that?

Speaker 3 (45:21):
What the hell is going botched that one? Like they
you know, were late to get it together and linked
to really trying to track down this guy. But you know,
it's like the chairman and the vice chairman of the
College Republicans, you know, and that's clearly looks like it
was a target.

Speaker 1 (45:39):
That's where the beautiful young Republican leader girl was. Yet
it's just I don't know what's going on out there.
It's it's uh, I've got to kind of do I mean,
my god, we've got all these people. I am assuming
and maybe that's wrong, but I am assuming that the
person that did this is someone who is likely not

(46:02):
a documented citizen. I don't know why I think that,
but I just do. I Mean, it's all the time,
fifteen to twenty million people come in I'm concerned about
if I don't go there.

Speaker 3 (46:17):
When John and I were just talking about how thankful
we are that we're in the Midwest and we're in
a small town and people are lovely, and because we
have both lived on the coast, we both lived in
New York, I've lived in a city.

Speaker 1 (46:31):
I tried to live in the city. I couldn't do it.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Oh I loved it. I loved it, but I don't
want to go back now. I mean, we talked about
that John on do his concert. We went to do
the live stream, which was a huge success.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
Thank you for oh, and we're going to make that available.
We're going to make I'm going to edit some of
that together, and then we're going to put that up
on Cineflix. We'll put a link. I don't have it
ready yet, but we're going to put that up on
Cineflix DoD so you can watch it too in case
you missed the live stream. And it will cost something
but not much, you know, like four ninety nine or something,

(47:03):
and so that people can watch it. Because it was
a lot of fun.

Speaker 3 (47:07):
We did ask out a lot. There's a lot of
folks in thelling thing just jet set to New York
or La or wherever.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Leven in Tennessee either the week because we're.

Speaker 3 (47:16):
Driving, but Lemon and Tennessee is probably close to a
lot of folks that we know, so we help you
come again into our Christmas party. So try to make
it yeh fun.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
We're going to sing some fun songs. And somebody requested
that I do Katie's Christmas Card, so I've learned that
song again. I'm going to sing it with the track
There's no place like home for Christmas. There's no better
feel than I know with presidents around the tree and
your whole family. Now Christmas can be Christmas because everybody's home.

(47:47):
It's a wonderful little story about a divorced couple whose
daughter sends two Christmas cards out, one to dad and
one to mom, as if they were from the other person,
saying Christmas, will Christmas.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
If you're not coming on together?

Speaker 1 (48:02):
Yeah yeah, and she smiled she thought of those two
Christmas cards she mailed just yesterday. So it's a great
little song. Fred Nobloch, I think wrote that it was
on my Merry Merry Christmas Baby. It's on that album,
but it was also on my White Christmas album from
nineteen eighty one. I'm telling you where about the nineteen

(48:23):
eighty one.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
You're the Christmas guy, and I love, love, love I
have a holly jolly Christmas. Oh you know, since now
it's been used for our slut saga.

Speaker 1 (48:37):
That's funny.

Speaker 3 (48:39):
So yeah, and now it's like in my head, I
mean that to me, it's a Christmas song of the year,
have a holly, jolly Christmas. And it's John doing it.
And it's such a good version. And I saw.

Speaker 1 (48:51):
Barry Hall did all the music.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
H good.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
Larry Hall's so talented. But this is a guy says, oh,
this is the best version ever of this song. I
just bought it on iTunes or whatever.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
Jolly Christmas, Holly jolly Christmas. And that's burl Ives of
course that is singing it on Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.

Speaker 3 (49:12):
You do it like really.

Speaker 2 (49:16):
Yeah, kind of like American Bandstand.

Speaker 1 (49:18):
But that was Larry. Larry did all the arrangements.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
And they are just talking Christmas music because of Larry Hall.
I mean, and you're great, but that makes it even
more fun. He's really talented. Ho ho the mistletoe. But
you all just heard that. You all just hurt and
saw that video, so you know what I'm talking about.
It's so good.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
I know what.

Speaker 2 (49:38):
I'm gonna a good excellent what happened? I had a thought.

Speaker 3 (49:43):
You had one of those bubbles of it and you
see it and you see I did a thought.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
But well, I'm not going to say anything about it
because it'll run, it'll it'll spoil a surprise. I think, Yeah,
I think you're doing that.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
He is working up here.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
I wouldn't say it's cold, but I don't think but I.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
But it's warm on the second floor.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
I'll go check the other fuses. What else is going
on in.

Speaker 4 (50:06):
The world, babbly Christmas, Well, I will tell you that
we just looked at the map yesterday for the fifty
state tour.

Speaker 3 (50:19):
So here's kind of how that's going.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
Well, I worked on it a little bit yesterday.

Speaker 3 (50:23):
Yeah, so basically, we will hit the fifty states before
fourth of July. But what the government and others are
doing alone, we're starting on that date and we get that,
but we wanted to be ahead of the game and
get songs and videos of all the fifty states and
then we're putting together the documentary. So we have up
until July fourth, which we're halfway there, except you know,

(50:46):
six months, No, another six months, and we're just about
halfway through the country. So we're doing well. So after
fourth of July, at some point, we will have your
master piece done.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
The doctamy where.

Speaker 3 (51:03):
We've touched every state. John did some music, even if
just humming Happy Birthday, America, Happy Birthday to you. But
it's really good. I mean, the rough footage is excellent.
You're gonna love it. So we'll have to figure out
a nameport.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
I think happy Birthday America. Why not that's so smart
because it's hard to spell Sester Centennial.

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Yeah, it is Sister Centennial. But we will by July fourth,
whenever a lot of folks are just starting the celebration.
But we thought that was we would do it the
year of bitport leaning out to the birthday, so we'll
get through the fifty states, and then after fourth of
July at some point we will release you.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
I think we're going to release them. You were talking
about five, No, it's talking about ten. Ten oh ten.
That are five states, okay, not not five of the attention, but.

Speaker 3 (51:58):
The bottom line is, in the end we're going to
have a full documentary. I'm not hard a word about
anyone else doing this. So I think it's really cool.

Speaker 1 (52:06):
So it's going to be fun. And I was looking
at it again yesterday and I I'm excited about it.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
But I got the map out saw where we have
So we're going to have to relate hustle. Uh next
spring is in the playing state.

Speaker 1 (52:19):
Yeah, well, but we'll do all that at once. We'll
go out in the motorhle and we'll just we'll just say, okay, we're.

Speaker 3 (52:24):
Going to take flight north Dakota Mont.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
We're going to take two or three weeks and go
through all of this EISO.

Speaker 3 (52:29):
That when it's warmer. But this winter, you know, we'll
go the Southern round.

Speaker 2 (52:35):
That's right, so we can play some golf, that's true.

Speaker 1 (52:38):
I want to play some golf the Misslee hung where
you can't see. What was I going to talk about?
Darn it? What else is going on.

Speaker 3 (52:45):
In the newsstas?

Speaker 1 (52:48):
What else is going on in the news we were
just watching. There's still people there's still people who are
are against against keeping non documented citizens from voting. So
there are people who feel that illegal aliens should have
the right to vote and should have the right to healthcare.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
And I don't understand.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Somebody, please give me a slightly legitimate argument why we,
the taxpayers of this country should carry the burden of
illegal aliens health care or lodging or.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Self or anything. Tell me why.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
I would really like to know, because obviously there's some
people who feel that that is absolutely legitimate.

Speaker 3 (53:45):
Unt all about the votes and all about the Democrats.
Give them free goodies and a vote for them, that's all, nothing.

Speaker 2 (53:52):
More, no, I know, but there are people.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
I understand that that's a relationship between the Democrat and
the illegal, But what about the legal people who are
among the tax base who is ultimately going to be
paying for all this free stuff?

Speaker 2 (54:08):
How how do you justify that? I don't understand it.

Speaker 1 (54:12):
Well, go to New.

Speaker 3 (54:12):
York and ask the people who voted for Amandami.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Well, they're all the young people and day, don't they
They just don't.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Get well, but that's what I mean. They will support that.
Oh yeah, let anybody vote free world, free country, free.

Speaker 1 (54:27):
Yeah. I just don't. I don't.

Speaker 3 (54:29):
They don't think. They don't think well.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
But somehow they've been told because people aren't people aren't
stupid people, and people aren't cavalier about it.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
Somehow doctrinated the young people. Now the older people aren't good.
I aren't good at all.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
But do you think they realize that they are the
ones who are paying for this free stuff? Or do that?
Do they go in New York. I think they're going
to find out, Yeah, but I think they don't realize
that right now.

Speaker 3 (54:53):
I think they will.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
I think they think, oh, it's just the rich. Well,
where's the line between when do you become rich? By
the way, and I'd laugh my ass off when I
see Bernie Sanders and what's the clown in California se
Gavin Newsom talking about, Oh, the Trump administration is all
about the wealthy. It's got nothing to do with the
working class like us. Really, Gavin Newsom, you're part of

(55:16):
the working class. Really, Bernie Sanders, you know you you
you are so in tune with minimum wage folks.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
You're so in tune with with folks.

Speaker 1 (55:27):
That are really and yet there are people who will
listen to that and go, yeah, oh yeah, Bernie's right.

Speaker 2 (55:33):
Oh, Aoc is right.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
No, my god, Aoc was a bartender that now has
what in the banks, I mean, not allegedly, I don't know,
fifty million dollars in the bank or something. This person
got rich off of pulling the wool over your eyes.
Our eyes are collective eyes, or at least trying to.

(55:55):
And they're they're clamoring about that Donald Trump is all
about the billionaire.

Speaker 2 (56:00):
Well, no, he absolutely is not.

Speaker 1 (56:03):
You are. You got to stop. Well, it's somehow it's working.
You got to stop saying this is a tomato and
people somehow, But no, no, it's a tomato. I know,
I drink coffee on it, but it's a tomato. It's
a tomato. I just don't get it.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
This is a grape.

Speaker 1 (56:25):
I don't get it.

Speaker 2 (56:26):
Oh no, no, that's apple juice.

Speaker 3 (56:29):
It's grape juice.

Speaker 1 (56:30):
Well that's actually arguably true, it is. It is grape juice.

Speaker 3 (56:35):
We got it at mad Liquors, Madtown Liquers.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Sorry, Madtown Liquor. We only have like three minutes left

and wine and good or champagne. Now, I did like
for the holidays to start with champagne. Soup, soup, John
and I are all of that soup. We like to
start our meal with soup when it's cold, don't we, Honey.

Speaker 1 (57:11):

Speaker 1 (59:13):
Time, is the time of a season for soup. Anyway,
we love soup. I think that's my favorite part. It's
going to say the turkey in the dressing.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
But I've got Thanksgiving. It's more of a hand thing
for Christmas or kind of whatever. Christmas is kind of whatever.
Where Thanksgiving? You better have some turkey, you better have
some dress.

Speaker 1 (59:35):
Do you like the cranberry sauce that is all mixed
up with cranberries? Or do you like the one that
comes out of the out of the can, of course,
which one? I can't do it in my right hand.

Speaker 3 (59:47):
I know you like it out in the can.

Speaker 1 (59:49):
No doubt I do. I like to see the shape
of the can on my because then you can slice
it and make a sandwich.

Speaker 3 (59:56):
Here we are good.

Speaker 1 (59:57):
It's so good, and you can dunk it in your
in your butternut squash soup. Eo oh, you were dunking bread.

Now there's also a go time. Tip your waiters and waitresses,
tip your bartenders, tip your folks you come in contact with, Oh,
reconnecting anyway. I think I think it's fine. But here's
something you should do. I think you should do this.
If you have a Goodwill in your area, and who
doesn't go through your stuff, and because there's some folks

(01:00:55):
out there that don't have coats, there's some folks out
there that don't have blankets. And you know, we're we're
in favor of of anyway, if you have excess of anything, socks,
a sweat or something, consider bringing a bringing a car
load or just a bag to Goodwill, bring.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
A sweater to Goodwill. Goodwill a lot, Yeah, we do.

Speaker 1 (01:01:17):
And it's right up right up the hill here.

for some more supplies. We're going to do that too.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):

Speaker 3 (01:01:23):
So it is this season for giving.

Speaker 1 (01:01:25):
Yeah, and you don't have doesn't mean you have to
go out and buy something and give it to somebody.
You know, there's nothing wrong with saying, hey, regifting, here's
Regifting's nothing wrong with saying, hey, I don't need this coat,
and I think maybe you do. You know, you live
in live in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And you don't have
