  Speaker 4: year it's New Year's Week and then that's it. Start
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: all over wash Rince repeat, honey, start all over again.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: As I told you, we're not going to be doing
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: a lot of politics on these shows because I've had enough.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Oh god, last week and then there was that White
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: House speech. We talked enough about that, but still addressing
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: the nation like that for such bull crap. Anyway, I'm
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: not going to go down that path. But what I
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: do want to start with is something, how do I
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: say this? It's Christmas week? And first of all, if
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: you haven't militia cards, don't make them New Year's cards.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: You know I like New Year's cards. By the way,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: do you like my ray bands? I'm wearing my ray
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: bands again this week. I haven't worn them in a while,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: and I don't know why I love them, but I
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: wear the clear ones on air. But I like my
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: ray bands anyway. So it's Christmas week, and maybe you
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: have a full week with family, maybe you're all by yourself,
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: maybe you're at a really joyous part of your life
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: and you're celebrating and happy, and maybe times are tough
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: and you've got to tree this big or no tree
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: at all. One thing that people don't talk about enough
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: over the holiday season, and one thing that I never
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: hear anybody do over the holiday season is give you permission. Okay,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: I am giving you permission to have the holiday that
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: you want. And if you don't want to be happy
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: twenty four to seven, then don't you know? Look next week.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: Both my parents died albeit years apart, twenty eighth and
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: twenty ninth, is when my parents died of So the
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: week between Christmas and New Year's which everyone's you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: joyous and getting ready for the New year and everything,
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: for me, it's kind of a rough week. And a
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: lot of you have relatives that have passed away over Christmas.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: It's a very popular time to die, and so you know,
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: you might be feeling bittersweet right now this holiday season.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Maybe this last year was just really rough on you,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and with Trump and the economy and everything that's happened
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: in this last year, maybe you're just not able to
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: put all that aside. So I don't want you to
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: be depressed this week. On the contrary, but I don't
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: want you to feel forced to be merry because that
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: depresses you. Holiday depression is real, and it's been around
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: for centuries. That's why Festivus, the holiday that really was
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: we're talking about that on Christmas Eve. That's why Festivus
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: was invented. Okay, That's why festivals around the Winter Solstice
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: were invented. It's dark, it's cold, the nights are long. Okay,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: it's not exactly a joyous time of the year. So
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: they had to pep it up, you know, with festivals
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: and alcohol, and you know, ways to get married. The
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: evergreen being brought into the house to symbolize birth is
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: coming again. We're not the only race of people, or
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: class of people, or culture of people to get depressed
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: around the holidays. It's actually human to get depressed around
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: the winter solstice. It's it's been going on for centuries.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: So you're already fighting seasonal depression. Everybody gets it. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: so when you're forced to be happy when they're you've
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: got to be happy. You know, when you're forced, it
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: doesn't work. And so I'm giving you permission today to
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: take the holidays one day at a time, and remember
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: this is about you and how you feel, just as
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: much as it's about how others in your family feel.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Practice some self care over the holidays. Take care of you, Okay,
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: If you need to remove yourself because some of your
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: family a maga or you know whatever, if you need to,
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: just then do so. You are not obligated to do
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: anything this holiday season except try to enjoy it. That's
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: all you're obligated to do. Just try and enjoy the season.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: That doesn't mean you're gonna succeed every day, and that
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: doesn't mean on Christmas morning, you're gonna wake up jubilant
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: with bluebirds singing everywhere. Just try to enjoy it. That's
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: what I give you permission to do. Try and have
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: a good holiday week or two weeks.
• 5:57
  Speaker 6: But if something else really corell dot com daily, you're
• 6:03
  Speaker 6: missing out. Get the podcast videos and the blug including
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: recipes at really correll dot com.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: That's really ka R e l dot com.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Show Time is here. No time to fear. Correll is
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: so near because show time is here. So on with
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the show.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Let's give it a go. Correll is the one that
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: you need to know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: You know, I'm gonna be honest. Some holidays I struggle.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: I think honesty around the holiday season is refreshing.
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 6:36
  Speaker 4: It's me and Ember, and God blessed that I have
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: Ember this holiday season. Ten years. I've had her ten
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: Christmases and that's wonderful. But remember I had Andrew and
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: a husband, and we had niece, you know, niece and
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: nephew and other extended family in mom Beach, and so
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day was always filled, very busy, and the New
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: Year's Eve and New Year's always always parties and people
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: and the whole season. I was when I was Andrew
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: and I were in radio, and then after he died,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: when I was at KGO, there was always holiday events
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: always here in Vegas. Outside of Stephen cabral for whom
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: I am deeply grateful for, and Sherry and Jeanie, who
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: came over for holiday tea a week and a half ago,
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: I don't have a ton of social people. So Christmas Eve,
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: Steve and I may have dinner, we may not depends,
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: and Christmas Day we will probably have a lunch, but
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: it'll be just me and him, and I'll be very
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: grateful for that. But I'll be alone a lot on
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I'll be by myself. I'll
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: see the normal people at the park when I go
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: to the park. And so what I'm saying is I've
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: gone from a ton of people to hardly any And
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: some of you are in that boat empty nesters. Your
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: family moved away, your children or grandchildren moved away, maybe
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: you moved away, and you're instead of the big gatherings
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: that you're used to, it might just be you and
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: your husband, or you and your wife, or just you.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And so I'm in that same boat too. I will
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: not see a lot of people. And I know you
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: gul karill, why don't you volunteer at this or why
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: don't you do that? Look, I'm not looking for advice
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: on how to not be alone on Christmas. I know
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: those things if I wanted to go volunteer or whatever.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: But you know, it's just finding my groove and I
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: haven't found it yet. And so I get it that
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: some of you this year may not have the gatherings
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: that you're used to. That doesn't mean it has to
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: be a depressing day, Okay, it doesn't. So Ember and
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: I are going to have fun on Wednesday and Thursday.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: I hope you're gonna have fun on Wednesday and Thursday.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: Maybe a movie. Maybe I'll just go for a hike
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: out in the wilderness out of you know, maybe we'll
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: go out to the canyon to Red Rock. I'm sure
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: there'll be many other people. Maybe we'll just go watch
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: people using their you know, Christmas presents. I didn't get
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: a ton of Christmas presents this year, but that's okay.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: You know, I have most everything I want except you
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: know that Vitam makes a cent five blender. So you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: have a good try to have a good time. Now,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: obesity and me go back a long way. We really do.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: And I have been fat a big portion of a
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: big portion of my life and even now I'm twenty
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: five pounds overweight, and so I'm always interested when stories
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: come along about obesity other than ozeenpic So. Southwest Airlines
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: has changed their policy. It used to be if you
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: were a plus sized passenger, they'd give you an ex
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: your seat for comfort and for your comfort and for
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: the comfort of others. Well, starting January twentieth, they're going
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: to start charging plus sized people for the extra seat.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: And the gate agent is one of the ones that
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: gets to decide if you'll ask it's too fat to
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: fit in the seat. And what they mean by fitting
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: in the seat is can you put the arm rest down? Now?
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: I have been on planes where this is the arm
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: rest and this is the person. It's like a you
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: you know, they the arm rest is cutting into their
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: bodies and they're overflowing. I've been the person overflowing before,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: and so you know, I know the person next to
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: me wasn't having fun, and a lot of times it
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: was Andrew, thank goodness. And I have been the person
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: next to the fat person where you're kind of sitting,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: you know, like this, because they're taking up so much space.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: So look, I have no doubt that some people need
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: two seats. Should they pay for it, I don't know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: you know, as a fat person former and yeah, I
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: lost one hundred and ten pounds. I still have twenty
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: five to go. It has always been fashionable to punish
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: fat people because ultimately a majority of people in their
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: brains blame people for being fat. It's one of the
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: few medical conditions in which we lay blame. Someone gets AIDS,
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: we know how they got it, but we don't blame
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: them for it. I remember when I wrote the book
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: you Can't say that. It was called that because I
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: wrote an editorial that said, if you get AIDS in
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: the twenty first century, you deserve it, because we know
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: all the info, we know how to stop it, save
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: sex works. And someone said, you can't say people deserve
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: it if they get AIDS, and I'm like, well, yes
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: I can, and they said, no, you can't say that,
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: and I said it anyway. And I've changed that opinion,
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: by the way, But back then I believed it and
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: was very passionate about it. And so we believe if
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: you're fat, it's your fault. We've always believed that. When
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I was in grade school, my teachers treated me like
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: it was my fault. You know, my pe teachers treated
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: me like it was my fault. I used to believe
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: that as well, it's your fault. You're fat. You're the
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: one that's not, you know, doing the right things, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: subsequently you're fat, shutchpi hole. I have since learned that
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: that's a bunch of bullshit. Okay, I have since learned
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: that there is a lot that goes into being fat, Okay,
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: a lot, and the first is metabolism. For instance, I
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: am fighting my own right now. My doctors have told me,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: because I lost a lot of weight, my body now
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: wants to hold on to the weight that it's god.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: And so a normal person my size that hasn't lost
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of weight. Let's say you're a normal person
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: that weighs two nineteen and you want to lose weight.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Two nineteen isn't where you got from three to ten. Okay,
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: it's just where you're starting. You could eat eighteen hundred
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: calories a day and lose weight. But because I weigh
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: too nineteen, but I used to weigh three ten. Now
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: my body would make me eat fifteen hundred calories or
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: less to lose weight, and that's hard to do. So
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: I'm the first thing I'm fighting is my own metabolism.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: And these people who can't fit into one chair, they're
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: fighting a lot of factors. First, their own metabolisms may
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: be betraying them. And again, you know, some people are
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: obese and it is their fault. They really just do
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: eat too much. Other people, it truly is their metabolism.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: You used to say that when you were a kid, Oh,
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: I have a slow metabolism. You never know what it meant,
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: but it was just an excuse to be fat. Not
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: the honeybone and the pepsi that you were having every
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: day at lunch or at break and then having lunch
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: the public school cookies or the sos, the mashed potatoes
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: with the gravy and hamburger on top, or the pizza
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: or oh the things I used to love at I
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: was so poor. I loved eating lunch at school because
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: for me it was like a restaurant. Okay, because we
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: didn't go to sit down restaurants very much, and so
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: lunchtime for me was like going to a sit down restaurant,
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: so I would always what's on the menu today, mater
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: d oh, Well today we have shinning a shingle and
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: tater tots, and for dessert, freshly baked cookies. And you
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: could smell those cookies all around the school for first period,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: second period, third period. Oh my god, by the time
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: lunch came, I was running to the lunch room to
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: get those cookies. You know what I mean. You went
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: to school, You remember something about those public school cookies
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: or their pizza or oh it's just good. So I
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: was a fat kid, obviously, but I was fighting metabolism
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: then and I'm fighting it now. The second thing is,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: you know, we do not prioritize exercise in the United States.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: We just don't. Like this holiday week, the last thing
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: on your mind is yoga, lifting weights, and going walking
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: and running up hills. I will be doing that every day,
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: including Christmas Day, because for me, I have to do
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: it now. I spend between an hour and a half
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: and two hours of day exercising. That includes walking by
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: the way, which is great exercise, thirty minutes of yoga
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: or thirty minutes of weights, and then a walk up
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: and down the hills. All of that, and I'll be
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: doing it because now I can't not do it. I
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: don't feel right if I don't do it. But for
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: fifty five years of my life, I certainly didn't have
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: an exercise routine. It's only been the last eight years.
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: So a majority of you, because of your life, you
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: don't have an exercise routine, or you think you exercise
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: enough in your daily life, you don't. So Number one,
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: there's metabolism, and of course that's what Ozebic and withgov
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: and all of them are now messing with your metabolism
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and making you want less food. I mean, there's no
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: secret to wegovy or any of that. The only secret
• 16:21
  Speaker 4: is it makes you not want to eat. The drug
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: doesn't make you lose weight. The drug makes you not hungry.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: You lose weight because you don't eat. Ultimately, that's how
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: you lose weight. No calories in extend more calories than
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: you use. So metabolism and not prioritizing exercise, those are
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: two of the things the fatties from Southwest Airlines and
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: other places are fighting. By the way, I used to
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: be one, and I still am very tight in those
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: little tiny seats, you know. America and the world got
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: bigger and the seats on airplanes did not. Then. Third food,
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: the American food supply is a trash can of processed ridiculousness.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: Very few of you have the time that I make
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: out of my day. That I make out of my day.
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: I don't really have the time. I have to make
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: the time. For instance, I remember one day last week,
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: I was five minutes late for the show, and the
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: reason was I had to put on the instapot with
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: lentils and you know, black eyed peas and all that
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: so I could have lunch. I had to start a
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: cooking and so I plan meals and take time to
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: cook them. And I use whole foods from the store,
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: real ingredients. I make my own nut milk, I make
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: my own everything. I usually bake my own bread. I
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: make my own rolls. You know, I use oatmeal in
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: its raw form, oat groaths. You know. I don't use
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: a lot of process food foods in my freezer. There's
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: not a lot of box or bad foods from the store.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: Same with my refrigerator in my pantry. But because of
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: our modern day lifestyle, many people eat from a box,
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: eat from a bag, or from a window, drive through
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: window None of that is good for you, and all
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: of it leads to obesity. Six hundred pound people are
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: not getting that way on fruits and vegetables and lentils.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: Just tell you that right now. So we have this
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: society that a does not take metabolism into an account,
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: b does not prioritize exercise, prioritizes work and all your
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: other responsibilities before exercise, and certainly doesn't prioritize time to eat.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Because you need an hour for each meal you need
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: to prep it and then eat it. That's an hour,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: an hour, three hours a day you need for food.
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: Add in two hours a day for exercise. That's five hours. Now,
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: given that you're gonna be awake for about sixteen hours,
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: that still leaves eleven other hours. But if you're working
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: for eight or nine so I get it. Most of
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: you don't have five hours a day for food and
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: for exercise, but you should. And the fact that we
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: don't and that we haven't set up a society where
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: we do, has led to this obesity problem so much
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: so that now people are willing to jab themselves with
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: an untried drug to get skinny or thinner. Don't want
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: to say skinny and so I get Southwest. I understand it.
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: But instead of penalizing people for a condition they really
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: cannot help. We used to think, oh, if you're fat,
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: you can always help you. No, it's really a medical
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: problem and needs to be met medically. And I don't
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: mean with drugs. I think they should prescribe good food
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: for you, prescribe exercise for you. But it is a
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: problem that most people need help to get under control.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: And they're being penalized because they're large. I was I
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: had to wear huskies across my ass back in grade school.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: So they're being penalized. Why don't airlines just have plus
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: size seats? They know they have plus sized customers, Why
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: don't they have accommodating seats? And when there aren't plus
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: sized customers on the plane, then guess what, some lucky
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: passenger gets a you know, a bigger seat. They have
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: to be placed strategically around the planes so the plane
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: doesn't list. But you know, why don't they have a
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: plus size set, Like why doesn't it be like clothing,
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: like have rows on airplanes, small, medium, large, extra large,
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: and then plus size? Why not? If they're gonna penalize
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: fat people, why not start seating people in seats that
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: they're going to be comfortable in. Well, that would require
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: the airlines to actually care it would It would require
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: them to actually think ahead. Nope, for them, it's one
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: size sits tall, and that size it is small. Airplane
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: steams are small. Even I have troubles get out the
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: baby with no lift your tail feet all right? Holiday
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: week on the correl cap, No, we show side. You
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: know what, It's funny because around the holidays we think
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: about New Year's and one of the top resolutions is
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: to lose weight. And yet the holidays are set up
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: to turn you into a fucking tank. Noogs, naushes, snacks,
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: baked goods, cookies, cakes, creams, pies, Thanks, Christmas Day feasts,
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: roast beasts of all kinds. You know, it's really hard
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: around the holidays to not gain weight, let alone lose weight.
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: And so Southwest. Look, I realize, if someone's taking up
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: two seats, I guess they should pay. But if someone
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: was disabled and needed two seats, would they make them pay?
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I don't know. For whatever reason, if someone needed two
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: seats for a disability, would they make them pay? I
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: don't If you had a growth growing off the side,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: of you or something. You know what I mean. I
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: don't know, but it just seems we have always punished
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: fat people because we believe they're responsible for being fat.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: It's your fault, you're fat, and believe me. I used
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: to say that too, until I got older and realized, well, yeah,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: part of it is my fault. No one's making me
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: eat baked goods at nine or nine thirty at night. Okay, yes,
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: that part's my fault. But the fact that my metabolism
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: wants me to eat less and less and less to
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: where I'd have to eat like a bird literally to
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: lose weight, that's not my fault. That's my body rebelling.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: And as for the processed food dilemma, seventy I just
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: saw a story. Seventy six percent of all foods sold
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: in grocery stores is processed. The only non processed foods
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: are vegetables, fruits, and dairy. Meat and dairy. That's it,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: and meating dairy is poison, so you shouldn't eat that.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: So really, you can only shop in about fifteen percent
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: of the grocery store. Twenty percent the rest of the
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: grocery store is new because you don't even get a
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: choice anymore. They ultra process things. They don't even have
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: to ultra process. They add ingredients to like peanut butter.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: They do enough to add five ingredients to peanut butter.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: It's ground up peanuts. It doesn't have to be ground peanuts, salt, sugar, maldextrin,
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: blah blah blah, No, just ground up peanuts. So there's
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: processed food everywhere, just all over, and it makes it
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: very difficult, as we know, because if it weren't for
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Ozembic and Magovi right now, we would still be the
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: fattest nation in the land. People are not getting thin
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: because of healthier habits. People are not getting thin because
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: they're suddenly exercising, meal prepping, going vegan, eating lots of
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: fruits and vegetables, counting calories. No, they're getting thin by
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: an injection because ultimately we were finding it too hard
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: to do it on our own. I've lost thousands of
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: pounds my whole life and found them again. And look,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: if we'll Govi and zeppound and all of that of zempic,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: if that is the way, then you know, I wish
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: it didn't exist. You're like, what, I wish it didn't exist?
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: The invention of those drugs has made it so people
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: don't think about proper diet and exercise. They think, I'll
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: just take the drug instead of I'll cut back my calories,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: I'll eat more whole foods, I'll stop eating processed foods,
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: I'll exit size more, I'll improve my mental state. Obesity
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: begins in the brain, not the stomach. I know everyone
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: finds that hard to believe, but it does. Obesity begins
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: up here, your cravings, eating, your feelings, depression, And who
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: wouldn't be depressed this it's amazing we're not all five
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: thousand pounds after this year with Trump. I mean, that's
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: enough to make anybody want to just dive into a
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: bag of oreos and not come out. So I really
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: think it's important that as we look at these policies
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: that are being made about fat people, like plus size,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: whatever about all you got to buy two airplane seats,
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: And it's so quick for us to say, yeah, you're
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: taking up two airplane seats. You should, you know, and
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: we're so quick to condemn them and to blame them.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: I think it's important to remember that weight is a
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: complex issue. It's not just diet and exercise, it's mental state.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: Poorer people tend to be fatter than wealthier people because
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: of cheaper processed foods. You can go to a drive
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: through and get really cheap food. It's really bad for you,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: but it tastes good and we'll fill you up. It
• 27:15
  Speaker 4: wins even pizza. I love pizza. I have a pizza oven.
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: You're really only supposed to eat one slice. You're not
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: supposed to have half the pizza. And god knows, there
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: were days ride order a medium pizza Hut pizza. I
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: neat the entire fucking Thing'm and I'm not dead yet.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: That's amazing. My calcium scores only sixty three. That's amazing.
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: MI cholesterol's normal. So Southwest, I think you should do
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: better by plus sized people. I think you should just
• 27:48
  Speaker 4: start putting some seats in your plane that accommodate them,
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: and then don't charge them extra. Just have them be
• 27:56
  Speaker 4: in that seat. It's not their fault they're big. They
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: prefer to be small. You think they want to be
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: big getting on that plane. Touching the sides of the
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: aisles have gotten thinner. On the planes, flight attendance must
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: have to weigh forty two pounds because the aisles have
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: gotten smaller. The seeds have gotten smaller. Also, they can
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: cram more in there. And now they're saying, Hey, we
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: made these seeds so small that big people can't fit
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: in them, so we're gonna charge big people for two.
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: Well that's a great racket. Let's shrink everything down so
• 28:32
  Speaker 4: no one will fit and then charge everybody more for
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: two because they don't fit. Yeah, all right, it is
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: the holidays. Entertainment is big. I don't mean podcasting and
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: all that. Actually that listenership goes down, but I mean
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: movies and music and all of that. Esquire has come
• 28:51

• 31:44
  Speaker 4: the story behind my songs, why I did them, Maybe
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: some of them you haven't even heard. Maybe the stories
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: you don't know New York and jelly Bean, Benitez and
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: all the things that happened on that trip. So there's
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: a lot to talk about. That's going to be on
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day, because what do you want to talk about
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day? Really? I mean, you know, come on, So
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: that'll be on Christmas Day. On Thursday, it's Correll's musical journey,
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: So do stay tuned for that, all right. So it
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: is the holidays, and you know, podcasts like mine, we
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: take a huge dump in listenership because again it's the holidays.
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: You've had enough Trump, you've had enough politics, you've had
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: enough doom and death, and you're just ready for something
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: better or something more entertaining. So the things that flourish
• 32:28
  Speaker 4: over the holidays are movies, television, and music. Those are
• 32:32
  Speaker 4: the three things. And books people do read a lot
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: of the holidays, things that you just can't get enough of.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Now when it comes to television, there's the classic TV.
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: What are your favorites? All of this I want to
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: see down below in the comments, Okay, like, what are
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: your favorites? Do you like? Are you a person that
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: does the marathons? Do you watch like the Twilight Zone
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Marathon or the whatever show marathon that they have nowadays?
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: I thought I should do a Black Mirror marathon because
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: those shows are so good and they're like Twilight Zones
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: for the modern age. But a lot of people stream,
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: you know, they're busy around the house, they're in the kitchen, whatever,
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: just want to put on, you know something and watch.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: And of course there's sports. I've never gotten into that.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: I couldn't even tell you what sports they play over
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: the holidays, but they do, I know they do, and
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: so you know, there's some of that. But there's the
• 33:30
  Speaker 4: traditional Back in the day, remember when we would watch,
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: like everybody watched Rudolph the Red It all came on
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: on one night. It'd be like Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Shining New Year or whatever, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: A town without was it town without a Santa Claus
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: or something like that? But all the Hanna Barbera and
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: all the stop motion and claymation things that were on
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: that we all loved. Burrel Eves. Is it Christmas? If
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: burl Ives doesn't sing? I just don't think it is.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: For those of you listening that don't know who Burl
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: Lives was. He was a jolly man with a wonderful voice,
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: an actor who did a lot of He's the voice
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: of the guy in Frosty the Snowman. He sings Frosty
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: Frosty Or was it Jimmy Durrant Jimmy Duranty that sings Frosty?
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Is it Jimmy Duranty Frosty the Snowman? Jimmy Duranty? Remember him,
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: big huge knows Jimmy Duranty. I got a million of him. Boy,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: that's an esoteric reference, isn't it Jimmy Duranty. But he
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: did do some voices for all the Christmas specials that
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: we know in love. So there was Rudolph's Christmas Press
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: special and then the shop, you know, the island of
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: misfit Toys. I wrote an article about about how when
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: you have an extended family on Christmas, not just your family,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: but you invite others in, you're the island of misfit
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: toys because they're Christmas misfits and they're there with you,
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: and you may make everybody fit. Andrew and I certainly
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: used to, and for a while there afterwards I did too.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: So I love all the specials, although they're all very depressing.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: A lot of the specials depressing. Rudolph he's bullied, he's
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: nose shamed, you know he really he was no shamed,
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: and it wasn't until Santa needed him that suddenly all
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: the reindeer are nice to him. Oh Rudolf. We're all
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: about Rudolph now, and he comes through. I'm not sure
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: I would have. I said, wait, you will bully me
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: all fucking year, and now that it's foggy, you need
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: my bright ass nose. You know what, go bump into
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: the damn Eiffel Tower. I don't care, uh so, But
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: not Rudolph. Oh no, he rose above it and led
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: the way with his nose proof that being bullied, you
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: can still turn out the hero Frosty. He molts. I
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: know the song says, you know, I'll be back again
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: one day, but come on, depressing as hell, he mouts.

• 36:42
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: The first is Scrooged. I that is my favorite Bill
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: Murray movie, Scrooged. And you know, I don't have a
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: ton of movies of his that I like, but that
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: certainly is one of them. And I just love it all.
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: I love Bobcat Goldwaith in that movie, Sir, I love
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: him in that movie. I love Alfred Woodward. I love
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: them all. And I know it's sexist, racist, misogynistic, it's classiest,
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: it's the It's got every ism or is in it
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: that there is. But it's also very very sweet. I
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: like the ghost Carol Caine. Oh my god, she's so
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: hysterical as the ghost of Christmas Present. Doesn't she present yet?
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: Maybe she's passed? No, no, what's his name from the
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: New York Dolls, the guy that smoked a cigar, he's
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: the ghost of Christmas Past with a taxi. Uh? And
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: then the Carol Caine is the ghost of Christmas Present.
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: And then they had you don't know who the big
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: ghost of the Christmas Future is. But it's a great movie.
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: And it even the ending where they all sing this
• 37:57
  Speaker 4: song put a little Love in your Heart and he
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: breaks the third wall. You there in the third row
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: getting the spirit. It's a fun movie. And then right
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: after that, I watched the original Christmas Carol Every Christmas
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: Eve in two days. This is what I'll be doing
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: every and I don't care if I have to do
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: it on my laptop, if I'm in a hotel if
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: I'm traveling, whatever scrooged and a Christmas Carol. And now
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: remember there's a lot of Christmas Carols. The first one
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: was in nineteen oh one, a silent movie. The one
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: that I watched, it's between two. The one that I
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: like to watch is the nineteen thirty eight Reginald Owen one. Okay,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: but there's a nineteen forty nine one with Alistair sim
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: which is deemed like the official one. Now, some like
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: the one with George C. Scott. I do not, I don't.
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: I don't like it. I like that. For me, a
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: Christmas Carol has to be in black and white. It
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: just I'm old. That's how we used to watch it,
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: and that's the way I like it. So black and white.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: And the Alista simone they've been they color. I had
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: to turn it, sell you. I bought it. I bought
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: the nineteen thirty nine or forty nine Nowlistair sim you
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: can't buy the nineteen thirty eight, And I bought it
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: for when I'm traveling, and I always turn down the
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: color because I will not watch it in color. I
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: just won't. But there's a whole bunch of other movies
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: out there. Outside of a Christmas Carol, and I will
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: not watch the one with Georsey Scott. No, no, no.
• 39:25
  Speaker 4: But there's a lot of other movies out there that
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: are quote unquote Christmas movies. And I'd like to hear

  Speaker 4: I'd like to know Christmas or New Year's Dead, Christmas
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: or Christmas Eve? Christmas Eve? I tend to do music.
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: That's where I pretty much say goodbye to Christmas music
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: because I'm already done with it. It ain't the money. The
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: tw twenty second. If I ever hear Mariah Carries All
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I Want for Christmas is You again, I will stab somebody.
• 40:05
  Speaker 4: I swear to God, I'm so sick of that song.
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: But you know, what do you do on Christmas Eve?
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day? What do you watch? What movies do you watch?
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: What movie says Christmas to you? Maybe it's not a
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Christmas movie, but it wouldn't be Christmas for you without it.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: Put it down below. Please. Christmas in Connecticut, Number fifty
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: Barbara Stanwick as a food critic who lies about having
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: a farm in New England Christmas in Connecticut, sees the
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: forty stars scramble to put together a fake farm and
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: family to protect her reputation. It's a comedy, Barbara Stanwick,
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: you cannot go wrong now. Number forty nine, they say,
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: is a Christmas Carol with what's his name? George C. Scott,
• 40:46
  Speaker 4: directed by Clive Donner. And Clive Donner, by the way,
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: was the editor of the nineteen fifty one Scrooge film.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: He did his own movie in eighty four with George C. Scott.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: I don't like it. It's not that George Scott doesn't
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: make a good Screwge. He does, but I don't like it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: Number forty nine a year without a Santa Claus. That's
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: one of the the animated ones. But you know what
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: is it claymation or stop motion or whatever they call it,
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: and it's from Bass Rankin and Bass Rankin did the
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: best Christmas specials ever, like ever they did them all,
• 41:19
  Speaker 4: and the year with out of Santa Claus has the
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: mister Heat, the snow Miser and heat Miser. I'm mister
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: heat Meister. I know the songs. I know the songs,
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: so it's stopped motion and it has Shirley Booth and
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: her final acting credit as the narrator. So that's a
• 41:36
  Speaker 4: great one. A year without a Santa Claus. Number forty
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: six Santa Claus is coming to town. That one's got
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: Freda's stare and it even looks like Freda's staire. It
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: a little another bess ranking can't go wrong with that.
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: Number forty seven is one. You may go what that's
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: really heavy for Christmas. It's The Line in Winter with

• 42:34
  Speaker 4: it's called The Line in Winter. If you haven't seen it,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: please watch it. It's one of the reasons that Barbara
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: streisand tied for her first Oscar was because Catherine Hepburn
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: was so good that Academy voters tied one of the
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: few ties. They gave it to Barber for Funny Girl
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: and to Catherine Hepburn for the Line in Winter. Such
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: a great movie. I would dangle this from the nipples,

• 43:41
  Speaker 4: great at the end. Love. Actually, that's just a great
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: movie period, but it's a good one at Christmas. Jingle

• 44:26
  Speaker 4: You know these people too. You know these people, they're
• 44:30

• 44:33
  Speaker 4: we have neighbors that are trying to outdo each other
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: with like they're so competitive. Did you see the person
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: that did the Nativity scene and they had Ice officers
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: there to arrest, you know, because Joseph and Mary were
• 44:45

• 44:49
  Speaker 4: people by the way, the family Stone, Sarah, Jessica Parker,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: Claire Danes, Richard McAdams, Luke Wilson, Diane Keaton. It's a

• 45:37
  Speaker 4: two of my new favorite Christmas movies are with Kurt Russell.
• 45:39

• 50:14
  Speaker 4: a black person in the cast, is there. I don't
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: think there is a Christmas story. I'll never understand how
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: that movie is popular. I found it to be the
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: most boring, non funny movie around. But oh will National
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and the number one is It's a
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: Wonderful Life. Now, all of these movies have one thing
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: in common. Can you tell me what it is? They
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: all have? Every one of those fifty movies has one
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: thing in common other than being around Christmas. Do you
• 50:43
  Speaker 4: know what it is? I'll tell you. I'll tell you
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: in just a moment. Right now, though, I want you
• 50:48
  Speaker 4: to put your favorite Christmas movie down below. What movie
• 50:51
  Speaker 4: says Christmas to you? Do you have a ritual? Did
• 50:54
  Speaker 4: the Wizard of Oz used to come on at Christmas
• 50:56
  Speaker 4: on the TV? Or what's that at Easter? I forget
• 50:58
  Speaker 4: they always played it every holiday. I forget which one.
• 51:01
  Speaker 4: I think it was Easter. I don't think it was Christmas.
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: But yeah, what is your Christmas watching tradition? Please tell
• 51:09
  Speaker 4: me down below. I'm very interested to find out when
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: we tobacco. I'll tell you the one thing all those
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: movies have in common all of us, one say, other
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: than being a best fist, don't do.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: It, subsmaty now it show.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: So we went through what Esquire says was the top
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: fifty movies of Christmas. I'd love to hear what movies
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: you love? Or do you go to the movies on
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: Christmas Day? A lot of people do. Wicked's playing. I
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: have the screener for Wicked. They finally sent it. I'm
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: going to watch that. Certainly Avatar will be out, but
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: I fear it it's more of the same. And the
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: first one was spectacular and you were transported to Pandora
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: and it was wonderful. The second one a lot of flying.
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: The third one, I hope it's not more of the same.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: But anyway, movies are popular on Christmas to go to movies,
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: so maybe you'll go. But what do all the movies
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: have in common? All of them, every one of them.
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: In every movie, every character ends up finding the true
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: meaning of Christmas. That's what they all have in common.
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: They are all reminded, through whatever way, of the true
• 52:54
  Speaker 4: meaning of Christmas. And so that begs the question, what
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: do you think the true meaning of Christmas is? Whether
• 53:05
  Speaker 4: you're Christian or not. It's not about the birth of
• 53:07
  Speaker 4: Baby Jesus. Whether you're Christian or not, Muslim, Buddhist, atheist,
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: What is the true meaning? And I don't mean where
• 53:17
  Speaker 4: did Christmas come from? We're going to talk about that
• 53:19
  Speaker 4: on Christmas Eve. I mean the meaning of Christmas. You know,
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: holidays have a meaning. Easter is about rebirth. That's what
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: the whole holiday is about. It's spring, It's about birth, renewal.
• 53:34
  Speaker 4: You know, every holiday, New Year's is about again moving forward,
• 53:39
  Speaker 4: a clean slate. What is the true meaning of Christmas?
• 53:46
  Speaker 4: I've thought a lot about that over the years. And
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: I know you're gonna say friends and family, and that's
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: certainly a great true meaning of Christmas. But for me personally,
• 53:59
  Speaker 4: I think the real true meaning of Christmas is giving.
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: I really do giving of your time, giving of yourself. Yes,
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: giving presents because giving leads to happiness. So I really
• 54:15
  Speaker 4: go back to what we said at the beginning of
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: the show, Christmas falls around the winter solstice, Okay, which
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: this year happened yesterday, the twenty first. December twenty first
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: was the Solstice, and that's the shortest night of the year.
• 54:30
  Speaker 4: So from now on, days are going to start to
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: get ever so slightly longer because the winter Solstice has happened,
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: and the winter Solstice was a depressing time in olden
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: days and even now, and so Christmas was about bringing
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: joy and happiness into these darker months, lighting them up,
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: you know. And I believe that giving brings joy and happiness.
• 55:01
  Speaker 4: I truly do to the giver and to the person getting.
• 55:06
  Speaker 4: So I really believe that Christmas is about giving, because
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: giving brings joy and happiness. So if you had to
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: sum it up in three words, giving, joy and happiness,
• 55:18
  Speaker 4: that's what I really believe the true meaning of Christmas is.
• 55:23
  Speaker 4: And in all of these movies, they all find out
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: the true meaning of Christmas doesn't involve money and doesn't
• 55:28
  Speaker 4: involve this, and doesn't involve that. It involves being with
• 55:32
  Speaker 4: those you love. Again, isn't that joy and happiness. Being
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: with those you love brings you joy and happiness. So
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: in the movies, it's always about being with those you love,
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: even if it's just one special person, or finding love
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: if you're in a Hallmark movie, or in some ways
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: overcoming some option to goal that was preventing you, that
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: was blocking you from the joy and love, and finally
• 56:06
  Speaker 4: getting to that spot, to the joy and love. So
• 56:11
  Speaker 4: I hope this week, this Christmas Week, as we are
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: at the beginning of it, I hope that you are
• 56:16
  Speaker 4: going to find some joy and love on your Christmas Week.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: I really truly do. Whether it's because you're giving to
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: others or you're receiving from others, or both, let the
• 56:31
  Speaker 4: joy and love flow on this holiday season. At the
• 56:36
  Speaker 4: beginning of the show, I gave you permission to not
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: always be joyous and happy, and right now I'm giving
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: you permission to welcome the joy and happiness when it comes,
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: or to spread some even if you don't, especially if
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: you don't feel like it, because nothing will cheer you
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: up like cheering up someone else. If you're alone, go
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: find another neighborho's alone and stop by and say hello.
• 57:06
  Speaker 4: Giving of your time, that's a huge, huge thing to give.
• 57:13
  Speaker 4: So this Christmas, let's remember it really is about giving
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: joy and love and receiving joy and love. Not about
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: how many people are around your table, not about how
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: many presents are under your tree, but really, how many
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: presents could you put under someone else's whether that present
• 57:36
  Speaker 4: was just a gift of time, whether you know a
• 57:40
  Speaker 4: Snap recipient and you just gave them a couple of hundred,
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: you know, extra bucks because their Snap is you know,
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: up in flux, whatever it might be. If you're not
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: on the giving end, or I mean, I'm sorry if
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: you're not on the receiving end, if you don't really know,
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: Like I'm not getting that any presents this Christmas. But
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: I gave a bunch and that brings me the joy
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: that Christmas brings. I threw a tea party. I threw it.
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: I didn't ask them for money or contributions. I spent
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: two hundred and fifty bucks on a tea party. It
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: gave me joy. They my friends came over, Sherry and Jeanie.
• 58:21
  Speaker 4: We had a great time. That brought me joy. So
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: this week, the true meaning of Christmas, I think is
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: joy and happiness, giving and receiving. I'd like to hear
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: what you think it is down below, as in the
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: comment section, as well as what television and movies you
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: are watching this holiday season, and your comments on the
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: fat story from Southwest Airlines. Should they be charging plus
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: sized people more money or should they really just be
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: making seats that accommodate people, including plus sized people. You know,
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: it's not our fault. They don't have large seats on
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: an airline. The airline decides what size seat. Here at
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: my house, I got big ass seats. You got a
• 59:11
