• 12:51
  Speaker 1: But but it's like like maybe this, but maybe that
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: because yeah, as you said, you know Black Friday and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Somber Monday's already been.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: Is like I kind of jumped the gun on a
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that I wanted and she was kind
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: of the same. I am not exactly sure. I mean, yeah,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: think about certain things. And then she said, how about
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: we just hit the sales together on boxing go up
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: to Melbourne or something and they will have a night
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: out in Melbourne and all that. So that actually sounds
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: like kind of cool. Yeah, we may well do that.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: That sounds good. I was just keeping one of the
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: boxing days going to be crazy in Melbourne. Well, I
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: know one hundred thousand people for the cricket alone, that's true.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: But they got that new tunnel so you can get
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: into Melbourne's.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently a ne tunnel. I haven't used to yet.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta pay to use it sometimes. Yeah, well, I
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: don't think is the driving one. I was a driving
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: one open. I thought it was just the train tunnels open.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure the driving one's open as well. Are
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: you sure? I'm pretty sure the city Link or whatever
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, I thought I was just to get
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: on the train. Are you sure the driving ones open?
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I think they had on the news the other night
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: people driving cars through it. Really.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Okay, cool, that's.
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: A Christmas present for Everybody's something we can enjoy. It
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: works final over a Melbourne big build, finally sort of complete. Right,
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: next question here, Chris Lee. Have either of you pulled
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: my two cents cheap out story on a Christmas gift
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: for a sibling? I never have because I always like
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to spoil people for Christmas. I know of someone who
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: once bought somebody a chocolate bar for Christmas and I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was like, dude, you could have done better than that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: What are you doing?
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Was it the famous do buy chocolate but like it's
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: like twenty six bucks a bar?
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: No, it was just it was just so you're sitting
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: there with you know, you're vaping and you've got this,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: and you've got that, but you've bought your sister a
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: chocolate bar for Christmas? What are you doing? Buddy got
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: her twigs? It was I think it wasn't a Snickers
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: because that would have been even funnier. I've had a spider.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: Listeners to the show will probably guess who received this
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: job at bar?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I do, Come on, what are we doing anyway?
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: I never have.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: No, I don't like, yeah, we do want cheap out
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: of gifts. No, have you ever repurposed a gift?
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I've done it with with birth the kid's birthday stuff
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Alia stuff for his birthday. He never opened it. I'm like,
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: we're now giving this to the next kid for his birthday.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds about right. I don't think I've ever
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: done that either.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: No.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean it'll probably sit there gathering dust and not
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: being used or something like that. But no, I don't
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: think I've ever repurposed.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: And I have a lot of things in my house
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: that I got and I go, I like knowing I'm
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: going to be able to use it one day, like
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a book to read or a movie watch, and it
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: just sits there for a decade and I'm like I'll
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: get to it one day. It's gonna be great.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, absolutely, yeah, it's just finding the time.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: The rat race of life.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I mentioned you give me the red. I mentioned this
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: the other day to a friend of mine. I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I've got stuff that I received last year for Christmas.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I haven't opened it.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: And I haven't opened I mean, like one one's a book.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: It's like still in the plastic, beautiful coffee table. We're
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: going to like I can't wait to look through this
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: and like a whole year.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: And the other thing was a coffee machine that I got,
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: and I was like, I've just been keep keep on
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: making myself instant coffee in the morning.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: It's like, you're got a coffee machine. You haven't opened it?
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Correct, Wow, I know I feel really bad about that.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Really should feel bad about that one.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, but then Luke came back from Bali recently
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and brought me some of that. It's the coffee beans
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that have got the wildcat eats it and it goes
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: through this instance and they shit it out, and people
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: go through the wildcat shit and they get the beans
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: that have been undigested and grind down on a coffee
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: Apparently it's really delicious.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: So I've got some of that. So that's a good
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: excuse to break out the coffee machine and do it. Yeah,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: and have cat Pool coffee. Brad Mull says here this
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: is not really a Christmas question. He says, more fortigure
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: discas it was mentioned in an earlier podcast that teams
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: can't really relate to anyone the show. I remember saying that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: But basically, yeah, we qutioned, is that.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: We're talking about another pod? Have you been listening to
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: another podcast?
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: The kids can enjoy it, adults can enjoy it, but
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: can teens really enjoy it? And he says it is
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: it more that the fact that you get to your
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: teen years and you stop watching the Simpsons because the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: other things that do. But then we've discussed how some
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: people love season thirteen, fourteen, et cetera because they were
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: younger fans. Then well it's just the question of the
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: answer of you like, you have nostalgia for what you
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: grew up with. Certainly, so there are people out there
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: who grew up with teen year of the Simpsons and
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: it's what was on TV when they're a kid, and
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: they had the nostalgia for us, So of course they're
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: going to enjoy it. Will they say it's better. They
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: probably don't think it's better, but it's just what they
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: what they like more because they have the nostalgia connection
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: to it.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think. I don't think they're either. I
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: don't think they're really looking into it as a relatability
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: as well. I think they're more looking to it for
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: laps and nothing else.
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: It's a good point though, in the sense that maybe teens.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: I don't rembly watching The Symptons all that much when
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I was a teenager because he's got other shit to do.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: But it's like to show you watch when your kid,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: and then you sort of hit your twenties, you're like,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: what's that watch? Oh Simpsons? It's comfort, you know. Oh yeah,
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: And as you get old and old and you're like,
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: I can show the kids the Simpsons. So maybe there
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: is like that period of your life where it's like,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna take a break for the Simpsons and come
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: back to it.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Oh. Certainly. I think there are times when you hit
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: maybe thirteen, fourteen through till maybe your early twenties or
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: so twenty one, maybe when it's kind of like time
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to put a wee childish things and explore what it's
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: gonna what's the artner teamer that's gonna make guy guy?
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: You know when you're trying to forge a new identic.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's just me. Yeah, So you sort of put
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the stuff that you enjoyed when you were a bit younger,
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: assigned somewhearing band shirts and whatnot correctly.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: I like, these guys, do you do you know who
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: they are? And not that one? Not the one everyone knows.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: No. I think I think you're right. I think you've
• 18:24

• 19:19
  Speaker 1: what is that going to be?
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: No idea, but I'm guessing that they saw, oh wow,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: we turned Barbie into a light and bride comed that's
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: also a Taylor feminist empowerment. Who else who could we
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: do that with Miss Piggy?
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: That's a fat shep with the whole thing about Miss
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: Piggers is fat SHEMMYO. That's the gag, is it?
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: I never really viewed Yeah, I was viewed as kind
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: of like she's just a diva.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: It's just like the fat half a pig. That's sort
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: of like the game.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Never I never viewed it that way. But then I'm
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: sensitive and you know, enlightened.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: People don't like because she's a deva, but also that
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: it's like the fact that she's you're you think you're attractive,
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you think you're a man made Come on, pig like that.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: That's a gag.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: This is not dissing Babs in any way, But I'm
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: I was viewed Miss Picky is kind of like a
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: pisstake on Barbara streisand who's not a conventional beauty but
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: sort of attractive. I mean, you go back to the
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: seventies and dog in a movie call WhatsApp Doc. I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: remember seeing that when I was a kid and going, wow,
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: is Barbara.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: Streisand did anything? Mecha streisand well, yeah, but yeah, not
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: a conventional beauty, but carried herself like I'm the most
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: beautiful and charismatic and talented person in the world and
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: expected everyone to followus it and it's they sort of did.
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: It was like the Strats in effect before the Stras
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: in effect. So that's how I kind of view it.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I never yeah, and I'm not as big
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: a muppet guy as you, but I never viewed anyone
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: sort of making. I never saw the comedy in the
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: dichotomy of like she thinks she's all that, but she's not. Yeah.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I just thought, no, Miss Piggie kind of is all that.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I said, memories of them just going yes, shot
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: pig as if they say, like, you're not beautiful.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Because isn't is it in Muppets Take Manhattan or whatever?
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Where is it Charles Groden has got like a crush
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: on or something?
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: No, no, that's the mp Caper. Yeah, I know I
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: always be this picky is I won't say wow, she's
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: kind of hut because that's that's a Jessica Rabbit.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but now I find that really interesting. But yeah,
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised that that's the path they take
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: with the movie if it actually happened.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: What's what's a classic tale they could do? Though?
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: Oh? Classic one? Well, let's see Christmas Carol Treasure.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: On classic tails. Could they do the Wonker Chocolate Factory?
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Could they do maybe Fuzzy Bear like Fozzy Chocolate Factory.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: I know you probably do that. But and because then
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you've got the various muppets. Could be the various kids
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: being naughty and whatnot?
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe something like the Three Musketeers, like or about
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Robin Hood.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okvis Robin Hood.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this Piggy has made Marion. Yeah, who would be
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: the who'd be like the Sheriff of Nottingham. Then who's
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: the Who's traditional sort of villain in the air well,
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: this is where you get you know your Yeah, Michael
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: Caine and the Christmas Carry, Tim Curry and the Treasure
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: on Alan Rickman sadly no longer with us, and he
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: already already did share for Nottingham. But like Michael Fassbender
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: or Tom Hiddleston, Yeah, some English guy, it'd be him,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: quote unquote some English guy, Dann. We've done it again.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: It can happen. Holy Ship. Kermit's nephew is called Robin,
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: So you can have some sort of could Robin Robin Hood?
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Why not have have from how big are you on
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: Robin Hood? You know sort of the is Will Scarlett
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: actually Robin Hood's brother, because that happened in robin Hood
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Prince at Thebes. I don't know it turned out that,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: you know, Christian Christian slaters. Will Scallet turned out to
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: be like Robin Hood's half brother.
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: Disney. You do Disney films like snow White, Sure you
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: do all those films.
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're all public domain. Yeah, but then it'd be
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: good to sort of do the tie in Lion King
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a land beauty and the Beast lots of films. Sure,
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I'm very big. I'm kind of hot on my Robin
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Hood idea.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Becausehood sort of out of it. Don't really talk
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: get Robin Hood.
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: Anymore, No, but it's it's something that keeps getting redone
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: all the time, and usually not to diminishing returns. But
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: it's like, because there's a new Robin Hood series out now, yeah,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: with someone like some Australian guys that's playing the lead muppets.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: We've probably had some English guy and now we've got
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: some Australian guy muppet.
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Robin Hood is a four part mini series based on
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: the upt It's in Mupper comics, so I knew it
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: was too good to be And yeah, we have Kermit
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: as Robin Hood there. Okay, Sir Robin of Locksley, I
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: did not show for noting him as Sam the.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Robin of Frogsley.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so anyway, make make it, make it a live
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: action film, live action film, and get your pals down
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: there on guard to write it. Yes, indeed, I know
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: they did the Haunted Mansion, which was for me though
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: at the moment the Muppets is the voice of Kermit
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: is so wrong at the moment, it's like you're washing
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: it going. This just isn't the Uppets, Like, I literally
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: can't do it?
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: How about parts of the Caribbean Treasure Island already anyway?
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: But I'm going with Robin Hood Ye all right, Mike
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: Salter Chris mus food you wish was around all year
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and Christmas food you would happily never see again. Never
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: been a mince pie guy for Christmas pudding. I like
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Christmas pudding, but it is a mince pies. Yeah. Not
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: a fan sweet Yeah.
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I can't say that there's something that I really go
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: wild for but occasionally have one time that's actually not bad.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: But it's like I wish they had them every all
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: year round.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Hot cross buns. You wish you had a war year
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: round esically with the variants and.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Guess what, you know, it's Christmas is going to be
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: done in a few days and then they're going to
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: put a cross buns on this ship.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: What's the what's the Christmas food? I don't think of
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: any Christmas foods that are only around it. Like we
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: talked eggnog with Bill Oakley last week, did.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: And finally discovered that you know, it probably does have
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: eggs in it, But mainly it's just like a drinkable custard.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: But we don't really think we have to give you
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: a sugar shock. Surely we've got an Australia now we'd
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: have it.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah you went, Yeah, if you want to sue makeabone.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: If you went elderly, you'd probably find it.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Are there only like variants that come out of Christmas
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: time any other time?
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: How how many people you know sort of have turkey?
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say the frozen turkeys in the freezer,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: like stocked to the brim at this time.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I can't think of many times that I
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: would have turkey throughout.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: Turkey is not a roasting. It's always roast beef, roast
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: chicken pretty much. Yeah, you get a wooly roast chicken.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And if you're feeling kind of you know, adventures like

  Speaker 2: about some roast pork.
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah I don't pork anymore, but yeah, exactly, I agree. Yeah,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: but the thing is the Aussie summer special is roast
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: turkey from the Delhi ROAs chicken from the Delhi bread

  Speaker 1: well it is around all year, but I just I

• 26:20
  Speaker 1: yard creek, like you know when yet it's Christmas Day,
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: a house full of people. You know that you can
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: at least go outside. You go outside, have a smoke,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: or you go some play some cricket, or just go
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: outside get some fresh air. What that's cold outside? It's
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: like we're inside and we're stuck.
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: Here with anyone. I've only ever had a couple of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: white Christmases, and there's one that I remember distinctly. When
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I was about fourteen or fifteen or so, we were
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: staying at this place called Western Manor just outside Oxford.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: We lived in Oxford when I was about nine or
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: ten years old. We lived there for about a year
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: and we'd go back.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: Everyone canobi right when you met everyone can?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: He met him in London. Well, I didn't really meet him,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: saw him across a crowded apartment store and said, getting a.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Rock caut stiff and you have to walk away. I did,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: this is not the druid you're looking for it and
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: walked off. Hope, but it is. Should we take our
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: shots up and kiss? Sorry for sir.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Sir Alex looking and spituring his forced ghost in the
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: corners looking. I was going, you guys, you fucking guys.
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: Thing is, though, people listen to this haven't heard our
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Erection day review yet.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: That's true.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: So so jump into the future, go listen to that,
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: then come back and listen to this, and you'll just
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: laugh your ass off Direction day for our south Park
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: podcast already.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, the upshot of that story is that
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I did see sir Alginners in the department store in
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: London when I see him in the Flesh when I
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: was about ten years old, and even then had enough
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: now not to go up and say trying to do
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Jedi mind trick, because he kind of looked like, I'm
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: just here to get some stuff for the grandkids. Fuck off.
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: No, it was at least you saw him though, that's
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah in the wild.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but we what was.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Your first thought when you saw him? We were like,
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: oh shit, oh we couldn't believe.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: It were Yeah.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: I sort of did a bit of a double days,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: like really, but did you see him as Obi Wan
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: or did you see him as the actor?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I saw him as Allegy in this yeah, because yeah,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: you just looked like your uncle. Yeah, what a big guy.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure if you went over to I'm sure. I'm
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: sure you'd like Winket Year or something. Hopefully, yeah, hopefully,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: but that's not really never know.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: We'll never know, but I'll just have that memory, like
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: I have this memory of Western Manor because we went
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: back a couple of years later. Some of my sisters
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: worked there as waitresses, and uh, we always had a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: real appreciation for the place and we were staying in
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: like a little cottage on the grounds was huge. I
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: mean it was like Downton Abbey. Yeah, and woke up
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: on Christmas Day and they'd been just a snowfall overnight
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: and it was fucking perfect. It was exactly what you'd want.
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: And yeah, when it's like, oh it's cold, but snow snow.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. But after about five minutes, like I think, I'm
• 28:58
  Speaker 2: going back inside and I'm gonna watch doctor know a whole
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: bunch of stuff, And but I had and I remember
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: just looking at the windows.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: This is perfect.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: This is just ideal, and that memory is just going
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: to be in my head. Yeah.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So that's a lot of it. But of course
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I'm growing up in Australia, spent many many years here,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: and Christmas is just synonymous with summer. The norm is,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you go to the cricket on Boxing Day
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: and well, yeah, all you can outside a barbecue.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: Jump in the pool, or go to the beach or
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: something like that.
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: Blue has Christmas Swim this episode, Yeah correct.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: So for me though, it's weird because growing up we
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: watched so much American media. But I never once thought
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: I can I never once thought as a kid Why
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: is there snow outside at Christmas time? No, every Christmas
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: special we watch it's always snow outside. But I never
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: thought that.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. America in the UK did a really
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: great job of trying to export the whole. I mean,
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: everyone knows the lyrics. I'm dreaming of a word Christmas.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: But dah, da da dah. I don't think we ever
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: felt like, oh shit, we're missing out by not going
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: out and throwing snowballs at each other on Christmas stuff.
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: I never thought that. I think it something Australia did
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: really well. It was like, no, you're in Australia, and
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: in Australia at summertime, and and Christmas is summertime.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's going to pool and play cricket, and yeah, well
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: that's about Yeah.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: So Chris, I guess the answer is for Dan or no,
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: we prefer a hot Christmas your neck? What do you think?
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: What's mister Hank?
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: You think.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: That is not what I asked you, mister Hanking. Come on,
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Brad Mull, I know that's different question, Brad mull. He's
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: got another question here, Brad Mull. It may have been
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: discussed in a previous episode, but why start the Simpsons
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: recaps at season seven, there's some classic episodes from earlier seasons.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: I'm guessing they are left for special look back episodes.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: What bread was my understanding that these were Christmas questions? Also,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: why's that the well? I don't know it. Did Brad
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: start listening when I started on the show.
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: When he started in season ten? Does he know there's
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: a whole library of episodes out there?

• 31:06
  Speaker 2: a upper tier patron.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Why it's up the Simpsons recaps at season seven? I
• 31:10

• 33:18
  Speaker 2: got the regular box and someone got like the head.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: Boxes, you get the head shaped box.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: How can I put this on my shelves? There we go? Yeah,
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I think that's the best answer, John. I think we'd
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: give them the DVD boxes that are poorly shaped and
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: you can't put on your shelf.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: It. It was such an era though, wasn't it of
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: novelty boxes?
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Oh god, yeah, I got I'm had much shair of them.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you look at that and goes, why did
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: we do it? But you see the picture on like
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: easy DVD and what that looks fucking cool? Like there
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: was a there was a feature on a collection where
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: it was like all the DVD's were inside Bender's head
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: and it looks great, But where the fuck do you
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: display that?
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: This is what an ungrateful prick I was. When I
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: was reviewing movies and TV shows and things like that,
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: I had an inn with someone at twentieth Century Fox
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: and their Home Entertainment division and this, and they brought
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: out the first for alien movies and they did it
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: in like an alien egg kind of thing, and I said, wow,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: I really love these movies. I hate this set. Can
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: I return this to you? And you're given to me
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: like a regular box?
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: Please you?
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: When you did this, no, probably like thirty something who
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: got a fort the people at Fox. Oh I see
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: what you mean. Yeah, it was a primo thing. And
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: it wasn't It wasn't like a Christmas I see here
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: the Alien anthology. It was like, I just want it
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: in a box. I can put it on my shirt.
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: That's a cool fucking box though, Man, that's a real
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: cool box.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: You're the one the egg shaped. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: don't like that.
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: It is there. I know it.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Man, I gave it back.
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: You didn'tly gave it back. You realized what you could
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: have sold it for. Now this one just sold for
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: eleven hundred and twenty five YUS dollars.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: Probably could have paid it up. Man, had a nice
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: chunk of my mortgage.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Can you take this back? I don't want this ship.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: I just want the discs?
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can I there's a there's a regular version of
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: it's kind of the regular version, please. Yeah. I wasn't
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: thinking straight. Kendy g G.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: What would your dream Christmas vacation be hanging out with
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Katy G. I think that's what it would be, Kady
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: GB somewhere on the coast, on the coast, Yeah, having
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: a swim dream Christmas vacation. Look, yeah, part of me
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: I mentioned that Christmas memory of Christs might not be
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: with the family at the time. Take that out of
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: the equation, because we always want to be of our
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: family on Christmas. But if it's you're gonna be with
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: your family, where with the dream vacation be? If it
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: was just me sort of rolling solo or with always
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: or whatever always. I like the idea of something tropical,
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: idea of it being like Disneyland, that kind of thing
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Christmas time. I think kids, the kids while they're young,
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: like something like that would be cool.
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: No, I think I like the idea of a beach,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: but somewhere, but a beach with shade.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: A hustle and bustle of it, And they wouldn't be
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: fun though that You want the relaxing vibe of just
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: being by the water. Yeah, but we get the literally
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: we have that whenever we want.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: That's true, that's true.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: But you know, maybe we're living the dream.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: This is our dream Christmas vacation, Katie Well, tell us
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: about yours and the in the comments past.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It would be fun to go to the theme parks
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: over with the kids. I'm looking for to do it. Yeah, absolutely,
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: uh Andy d do Australian Christmas cars depict a sun
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: drenched Santa sipping mehitos on the beach. What other strange
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: seasonal reversals are you privy to when it comes to
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: traditionally wintry Christmas imagery.
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: I think we do see a lot of Santa in
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: board shorts and things like that on the beach. Now.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about mahidos. So I think we
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: probably we never used to be probably be like a
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: VB or something. It used to always be like the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: traditional like santy with he suit on. Now it's like, no,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: it's Australia mate. Sanda's on in a dinghy. Yeah, he's
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: got his he's got his big beard and all that
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. And there's a bit of dos on.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably got his nice red jacket on or something.
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: But he's probably got boardies and thongs.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got the dancing Santa. We've seen the dancing center.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: In our life, I have not. We'll do that after this,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: after we record it.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: This life stized dancing Santa. And he's wearing of course
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: you too. He's wearing a beach shirt as a sleeveless shirt,
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: like you know, like a dress shirt. It's like a
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: beachy colors and he's wearing board shorts and thongs.
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Delightful, delightful, delightful. One of the strange seasonal reversals. Are
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: you proving to when it comes through traditionally? I think,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: as we said, Andy, I mean, yeah, we're used to do.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: What you do in summer is what we do at
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Christmas time. Basically.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, essentially it's hit the beach or you know, play
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: games outside and.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Literally go like Boxing Day and Christmas is literally you know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Christmas he spent with the family. Boxing Day, you get
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: out to go the beach or whatever.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: There's not rugging up, it's stripping down. Yeah, Brad Muller's
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: chimed in here. Unless it's from a novelty saw. No,

• 39:02
  Speaker 1: to hear any of these carols. True, but there is
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: the I think I probably said the same thing last

  Speaker 1: Christmas time if we were asked about Christmas song. But yeah,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know the Christmas Carol goes. I love that
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: one of the bells. It is actually, yeah, least favorite
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: Christmas song. I won't say it's all I want it

  Speaker 1: all I want for Christmas because that's a bit sort
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: of it's a and it does well for the catchy song.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, at least favorite Christmas song.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but i'll I'll tell you one that
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I'm being a fan of Paul McCartney's Christmas Time for.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: Christmas Time you think I am. I think I'm not.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Not I think I am. You are, Okay, Yeah, I
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: think it's really nice. I don't rate it that much.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't shocker. The Beatles have written better songs,
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: most of the Beatles. It's just Paul McCarty. Well, Paul
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: McCartney has win written better song.
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: I think for me, it's just like it just feels
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: like Paumac can't saying they went Christmas jingle, let's just
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: write one now. But it just feels like it feels
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: like it feels so orchestrated that song.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know to mean, it feels like like they're
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: just hanging out and just talking about what's going on.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: It just it doesn't. I suppose it is calculated to
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: some degree, but it doesn't feel as calculated, something like
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: a ball. All I want is Christmas, simply wonderful Christmas.
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: If someone did someone made a cover but it was
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: sounding like the Beatles actually sang it. I'm like Revolver
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: or something. It actually sounds like a Beatles song.
• 40:22

• 43:28
  Speaker 1: want a white Christmas, right, It's like we really don't know.
