  So what I want to do, right is this little thing where I call
• 0:29
  up most of our like most regular players from this past year, sort of
• 0:34
  wish them a merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and then bang, surprise,
• 0:40
  it's a quiz. I was going to say, that's cute, and then
• 0:44
  you said, bang, are you going to Are you going to text them
• 0:51
  to let them know that you're calling them ahead of time? Are you?
• 0:54
  Just like surprise Christmas attack? Maybe a little text before, but mostly just
• 0:58
  to say, oh, to say happy Christmas. See that's the part that
• 1:02
  I think the text will be useful for it because neither of us would just
• 1:06
  call someone. Oh yeah, that's true. Like any phone call anyone receives
• 1:11
  from me is probably an emergency. Yeah. Oh they might think I've died
• 1:18
  nowhere. Then I wouldn't be calling. Yeah, but yeah, just shoot
• 1:22
  a little text, shoot a little like a little yeah, like everything's fine,
• 1:26
  but I will be calling you. But I will be calling you.
• 1:29
  I've not lost a leg. Yes, no one is maimed, no one
• 1:33
  is named. It's just I'm maimed by Christmas spirit. Yeah, there we
• 1:38
  go. People say we all say that to each other every Christmas. And
• 1:44
  I'll definitely be calling Jason as well. But I thought we could test the
• 1:47
  format, you know, the call that I'll do with everyone. I thought
• 1:51
  we could test that right here. So first question I'll ask them after surprising
• 1:55
  them, yeah, will be what's your favorite Christmas film? Audre? Oh
• 2:00
  um, I know it's old? Okay, White Christmas, White Christmas.
• 2:07
  Okay, just give me one second. Let me look through my database.
• 2:12
  Do you have a database of every Christmas? Every Christmas movie? And I've
• 2:15
  got a quiz for each one of them. That's what you've been doing on
• 2:19
  evening. Yep, complete waste of time because we'll only do about five of
• 2:23
  them. But you know, the neglecting your cat children. So White Christmas,
• 2:28
  I have it here. I The top question to ask the person who
• 2:31
  selects White Christmas is would you say you're an old soul? A boring?
• 2:37
  So? I don't know. It's not a boring film, it's a good
• 2:38
  film. I don't know if I'm an old soul or if I'm just like
• 2:44
  obsessed with ancient crafts. I don't know. Okay, I don't know the
• 2:47
  ancient crafts of nineteen fifties cinema. Yes, Um, maybe I'm an old
• 2:53
  soul maybe maybe is that, but not like old and like an angry on
• 2:58
  the front porch, yellow teens old soul. No, you're not a maga,
• 3:05
  I'd say. I'd say my soul has the wisdom of age. Okay,
• 3:08
  your soul has the wizard. Your soul has the wisdom of age.
• 3:13
  Yeah, okay, yeah, so that's why you've gone with a seventy five
• 3:15
  year old film. Yes, yes, okay. Next next question that I
• 3:20
  hope stresses you out less on this this Christmas Eve. I just want to
• 3:23
  do a good jobs. You do know we'll have a bit of a meta
• 3:28
  section. Now, you do know you're a captain on this show, right,
• 3:30
  you can take charge, you can tell me off you. That's a
• 3:34
  lot of expectation. Okay. With great power comes great responsibility. No.
• 3:39
  Twenty twenty twenty, good spider Man, nice, thank you. Twenty twenty
• 3:44
  three. We're going to make you as bold and confident as Jason. It's
• 3:47
  it's going to happen. Am I just going to like do cocaine before that
• 3:53
  might help? Just to be clear, Jason does not. Jason just naturally
• 3:55
  has a good amount of energy. No, but I do think that hard
• 3:59
  dry Okay, Well, well, speaking of white powdery things, White Christmas,
• 4:06
  what's your favorite moments or scene from White Christmas. What's like the iconic
• 4:11
  moment or scene for you. I think the most iconic one would probably be
• 4:15
  the um the I don't even know Mandy song, Mandy There's I'm in that
• 4:25
  one. Um, it's incredible. Everybody in like the green suits and vera.
• 4:30
  Ellen gets shot out of a cannon in the floor and it's no,
• 4:35
  she gets raised. The dancer who dances with her gets launched down in the
• 4:40
  floor. But dang, it's just in my mind it's iconic. When I
• 4:45
  was a kid, I thought that that was going to be my wedding dress,
• 4:47
  okay, and that you'd be shot out of a cannon. Yes,
• 4:51
  I'm sorry, I couldn't oblige. That's fine. So that that even all
• 4:57
  the other Christmasy scenes, the ones that are even more Christmasy, that's the
• 4:59
  one that it's your favorite, that's the one that stands out. Yeah,
• 5:01
  it's just the one, the one that I would want to rewatch. Also,
• 5:05
  I was a singing and a dancing kid, and so you were so
• 5:10
  a big musical number. Yeah, tons of props everything. It's one of
• 5:14
  the main ones where they show the full number in its entirety. Everyone's going
• 5:19
  full out. Yeah, so ah, not a good choice. Good choice,
• 5:24
  good film, good scene, good choice. Next question about white Christmas?
• 5:29
  Why is it that back then and also now men look young and healthy,
• 5:32
  but sort of in the Middle Times they looked old as hell? Why
• 5:36
  is that? Okay, Okay, I'll give you an example. Bing Crosby
• 5:41
  and Danny Kay were fifty one and forty three when making this movie, and
• 5:45
  I think they look pretty good for fifty one forty three. And now you've
• 5:47
  got like Chris Pratt who's in The Guardians Christmas Special and he's forty three,
• 5:53
  and he doesn't look forty three. He looks way younger. Yeah, he
• 5:55
  looks great. But then Tim Allen was forty in the Santa Claus and he
• 5:58
  looks like shit. So what's that all about? I actually have an answer
• 6:01
  to this, and I'm so sorry if it ruins the oezing, the like
• 6:05
  whole vibe of this. People in that middle ground area have styles that we
• 6:12
  associate with people who are currently old. So while that style at the time
• 6:16
  was youthful, you currently have active examples of that style only on old people.
• 6:24
  Yeah, like old businessmen. Yeah, and so the like iconic features
• 6:29
  of youth at that time are now iconic features of age, and we don't
• 6:33
  have context for them as features of youth. Yeah, and so are subconscious
• 6:39
  when we're like making and sorting information is like old like like they're the I
• 6:44
  don't want to say red flags because like I'll hope to get old. Yes,
• 6:49
  well you are going to, yeah, like and so I don't want
• 6:53
  to call it like red flags. But it's the things that we like to
• 6:55
  go through a checklist of old. Yes, that hair, that particular style
• 7:00
  of jeans, those shoes, that's old, um. Whereas singing and dancing
• 7:06
  and moving about and wearing sort of nineteen fifties Hollywood style show tune clothes.
• 7:13
  That's useful. A lot of those styles were doing again so yeah yeah,
• 7:16
  so those things have like links with modern influencers subconsciously. Yeah. Whereas a
• 7:24
  big, ill fitting suit it just makes you think of disgraced former precedents.
• 7:28
  Yes, yes, and Channel five News and Channel five News oldo. I
• 7:30
  think that's a satire of that, but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
• 7:33
  yeah, but I do actually have an answer for that. There's some thing
• 7:36
  about like skincare now being far better than it was in previous time, like
• 7:42
  being out in the sun. Well, that explains, That explains Chris Pratt
• 7:46
  definitely, yeah, but doesn't necessarily explain like Danny Kay and Bing Crosby because
• 7:50
  they wouldn't have had access to the Yeah, Jenna's line of face creams cream
• 7:59
  is such a number, it is, so there is just like a middle
• 8:03
  ground. I think that for a while maybe we knew the sun was bad
• 8:05
  for our skin, and then we just like forgot really conveniently and then remembered
• 8:11
  again that actually the sun makes you look quite leathery. Yep. And this
• 8:16
  segment by saying yes, Tim Allen, very leathery. Yes, could you
• 8:20
  fight a reindeer in hand to hand combat and win? No? Good,
• 8:24
  that's the correct answer. So my prediction for that, My prediction for that
• 8:28
  is that Jason will be the only person who says that he can. Okay,
• 8:35
  that feels right. Yeah, that absolutely feels right. Also, there
• 8:39
  is probably no animal you could have said that I would have said yes to.
• 8:43
  I'm trying to think of maybe any sects and things maybe, yeah,
• 8:48
  depending on how depending on how angry. Oh no, that're from Australia.
• 8:52
  Yeah, them's fucking big, but even like a small mammal like a squirrel
• 8:56
  or something you would be if it was coming at me, if it was
• 9:01
  life, or if I couldn't run away. Or that one with a gun
• 9:03
  from the trailers, Oh my god, he uses it with such skill and
• 9:07
  it's wild. Anyway, if Jason says that he can't, then I'll I
• 9:13
  owe you something. Think of something, I'll owe you it. You don't
• 9:18
  have to think of it right now on the podcast. But I wanted to
• 9:22
  say, you'll owe me a blowjob, but I don't know that's good.
• 9:24
  I owe you a blowjob? Yeah, yeah, we'll go with that one.
• 9:28
  Okay, So just before I leave you or you leave me. Wait,
• 9:33
  that sounds bad when it's uh, just before one of us leaves this
• 9:39
  room, That's what I mean. Just before one of us exits this room.
• 9:43
  Because I've got a few calls to make. Would you like to play
• 9:46
  a round of gate Leapers about White Christmas? Yeah? Please? Okay,
• 9:50
  here we go for White Christmas. I've gone with a classic of gate Leapers
• 9:54
  because White Christmas is a classic. So we're gonna play clips of the YouTube
• 10:01
  comments section round. Okay, but you're on your own this time, You've
• 10:05
  always got a teammate to deliberate with, not anymore getting in my way.
• 10:09
  Not for this, I'm practicing for twenty twenty three. How is that getting
• 10:16
  in my way? Yeah? There we go. Bring more of that energy
• 10:18
  and maybe practice saying like, oh, piss off Jason, piss off Jason.
• 10:28
  Okay, we'll work on it. We'll work on it. As always,
• 10:30
  I've changed the user names of the real YouTube comments left below these clips
• 10:33
  from White Christmas, but I've made these user names festive because it's Christmas.
• 10:39
  So this first comment from the first clip comes from user jingle Balls. Good.
• 10:45
  There we go. Amazing skills and control for not breaking character until the
• 10:50
  end. I have an idea, but I would like to hear a second
• 10:52
  Okay, I'd like to hear a second comment for two points. Not the
• 10:56
  points matter on this Christmas episode. I can tell you what my thought is,
• 11:00
  but then it would ruin the rest of it, so I have to
• 11:01
  keep it to myself. Okay, okay, Yeah, This next comment comes
• 11:05
  from us A die Hard is a Christmas A Christmas. It's a Christmas.
• 11:11
  Everyone knows it's a Christmas. It's a Christmas. Thanks Mario, totally ad
• 11:16
  lipped and later put in the movie totally hilarious. This ruins what I was
• 11:24
  thinking wouldn't be something that's ad lipped. Wait, I'm going to lock it
• 11:30
  in because I do think this might be Okay, you think it could be
• 11:31
  something that's totally hilarious. Yes, I think it is something that I found
• 11:35
  hilarious go on in my youth. I think this is when Bing Crosby and
• 11:41
  Danny Kay are pretending to be the sisters Bing Bing Ming Ing hitting hitting him
• 11:46
  with the hit that one hit a bit late, yeah, and then I
• 11:54
  was just like laughing at the fact that I laughed so hard and so late.
• 11:58
  But I think it's the thing of like I'm hitting hitting him in the
• 12:01
  stomach with this big fans. Oh, it's the it's the whole scene book
• 12:05
  specifically, that is the part where he breaks thing. You didn't need to
• 12:09
  hear the comments missile from missiletoe fetishist. I refuse to believe that Danny Kay
• 12:16
  is not having the time of his life. So this is the scene that
• 12:20
  I thought it was the first one. It's Christmas three points? Oh my
• 12:24
  god, thank you tell Jason I got three points. Okay, I'm trying
• 12:30
  to be Agro it's working. Okay, I've got one more scene for you.
• 12:33
  Okay. In this mini game, first comment comes from unreformed Scrooge.
• 12:39
  Fuck that guy. Well, let's let's see what they have to say.
• 12:43
  Say this video topical. One of the signs of a declining civilization is the
• 12:50
  inability to tell good stories and make uplifting art like this. We've devolved dramatically
• 12:56
  since the twenty first century. I'm to go for a second comments just so
• 13:01
  I can run away from Yeah this guy, we won't dwell on Scrooge at
• 13:05
  Christmas. Yeah, fuck him. This next one comes from sixty nine Christmas
• 13:11
  four twenty Oh. That sounds fine, about as Christmasy as it gets.
• 13:13
  Yeah, that's joy. Having watched White Christmas Brackets nineteen fifty four dozens and
• 13:20
  dozens and dozens of times over the decades, I see this sequence as the
• 13:24
  movies nexus. Bing Crosby's Bob Wallace commits to going to Vermont and the trajectory
• 13:30
  of the rest of this classic is set. Is this the snow scene?
• 13:37
  Snow? Oh, yes, you've specified I thought at first, you're like
• 13:41
  the scene where it's snowing. No, but where they are in the are
• 13:46
  staying up all night in the club car Yes? Yes, Well let's see
• 13:50
  if the final comment reveals exactly the correct answer from Charlie Brown his pants.
• 13:54
  How the lyricists managed to rhyme snow with snow is pure genius. So there
• 14:03
  we go. Yes, two points, lovely stuff. It is the snow
• 14:05
  song in the carriage. Yep, that's how it goes. I liked how
• 14:11
  those just such serious media analysis happening in the comments of this. It is
• 14:16
  the films nexus. It is the films Nexus. Okay, okay, Well
• 14:24
  did you have a good time? Did you enjoy this little quiz? Good?
• 14:28
  That's all. That's all that matters. I got both of them right.
• 14:30
  That probably. Hey, maybe that could be the gimmick next year for
• 14:33
  you. Like, so lose a gimmick, but you lean into it.
• 14:37
  Oh that would feel natural. That would feel quite natural. Yeah, just
• 14:43
  worst person at the Christmas quiz. But make it a joke. Oh,
• 14:46
  that would be quite fun. That would reclaim my childhood of playing checkers.
• 14:50
  Well, thank you for helping me out with this. I love you.
• 14:54
  Okay, I'm back in, husband Moude. Now I'm not in I'm not
• 14:56
  in games master mode. But also could you please leave because I've got some
• 15:00
  calls to make two other people. Yeah, I'm fucking out, dude.
• 15:01
  Okay, thank you, thank you, love you, love you too.
• 15:05
  H Hello, Chris, Oh hi, Hi, Hi? How are you?
• 15:16
  Oh hey, I'm I'm good. Who who's this? Very funny?
• 15:20
  Very funny, hilarious in a remember when we didn't know who was calling us?
• 15:28
  Oh yeah, I remember that, like twenty twenty five years ago.
• 15:31
  Okay, yeah, it's an old joke. Okay, I guess so,
• 15:35
  so marry Christmas. I'm just calling it. Say marry Christmas. We'll marry
• 15:39
  Christmas to you as well, sir. Thank you, thank you, And
• 15:41
  before you say anything, shut up. I do normal social calls like this
• 15:45
  all the time. This is regular me. Also, while I've got you,
• 15:48
  I want to ask you something. What's your favorite Christmas film? Uh?
• 15:52
  You know, there's there's so many good ones out there. We have
• 15:58
  the Christmas Princes one, two and three. Of course, we have the
• 16:02
  Princess Switched one in two, No, one, two in three, So
• 16:04
  many good ones. I could sit here and naming them all day, old
• 16:08
  Royal based I'm probably yeah, obviously, um, but I'm probably gonna say
• 16:14
  I have to say, my favorite of all time is going to be The
• 16:17
  Grincho Soul Christmas the early two thousands. Jim Carrey, Yeah, Grent Soul
• 16:23
  Christmas. Great choice. The movie all about that green in cell who lives
• 16:26
  up a mountain. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure,
• 16:33
  I know it's it's small nuanced than that for sure, but but it's fair.
• 16:37
  It's fair. No, it's a it's a good choice. It's a
• 16:38
  very good Christmas movie, one from our childhoods I believe. Yeah, yeah,
• 16:44
  he does, he does, now that I think about it. He
• 16:45
  does talk about hating women a lot, so I guess, yeah, it's
• 16:48
  totally fair to call him an in cell. So yeah, I didn't have
• 16:52
  I didn't have to leap too far. But yeah, it gives his reasons.
• 16:56
  We don't always find out why in cells are like that. That's true,
• 16:57
  that's true, and he stops being one, so exactly. Redemption story.
• 17:03
  It's all we need. It's really all most people are asking for is
• 17:07
  for them to just stop. Yeah, yeah, just stop doing it.
• 17:11
  And if you could give us a flashback that explains why you're behaving this way,
• 17:15
  that would be great, thank god, it would be fantastic. And
• 17:18
  then flashback to them chomping on a Santa Claus plate. So yes, yes,
• 17:25
  I'm just looking in my database of Christmas. Maybe he's here, so
• 17:29
  let me just find the Grinch still Christmas. Okay, got a whole database?
• 17:32
  Okay, Oh yeah, I've I've made a set of questions and a
• 17:36
  quiz for every single Christmas movie in existence. So thank you for choosing one
• 17:38
  that I had one for. Holy shit. Okay, My next question for
• 17:42
  you, based on how The Grinch Stole Christmas is, what's your favorite moments
• 17:47
  or scene from the film. Oh, I'd probably have to say when he
• 17:49
  sets up like the fake director scene with Max the Dog where he's like trying
• 17:56
  to coach him on his part of his role of being a reindeer. Yea,
• 18:03
  because that just makes me a giggle every time. And yeah, it's
• 18:07
  just two great actors playing off each other, Jim Carrey and some dog some
• 18:12
  just some dog who probably was in other movies at the time. That's usually
• 18:17
  how it goes, probably probably, Yeah, but those are my two favorites.
• 18:21
  So yeah, no, that's a that's a great pick. I I
• 18:23
  think I'm finding this with Christmas movies that the best moments are not necessarily like
• 18:27
  the wholesome Christmas moments. They're actually just the silly one offlines of bits that
• 18:33
  happen. Oh god, yeah, yeah, it's just it's the right answer.
• 18:40
  The dumb throwaways. It just they live with they live in my heart
• 18:45
  that I'm hoping to grow three sizes this year. Perfect a perfect reference.
• 18:49
  Thank you, big Jim Carrey fan. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 18:55
  I was. I was one of those kids from one of those nineties
• 18:59
  kids that was the same same I. We all had a face, we
• 19:02
  all had a fit. Hopefully we grew out of it. That's still up
• 19:07
  in the air for me. But yeah, I mean a Spincher, a
• 19:10
  demon Dummer, sign me up. The nineties goofy classics, and that's that's
• 19:17
  how I became the person I am today. You know, Yes, you
• 19:21
  are Jim Carrey. Sorry we should have said that up top. You are
• 19:22
  Jim Carrey. I am talking to Jim Carrey, right, Yes, that
• 19:26
  is very true. Yes, my name is Jim Carrie. And uh and
• 19:30
  I'm so happy to be here on kate Leapers. I'll clip that. Yeah,
• 19:34
  no, of course. And you can use my images and anything like
• 19:38
  that for free. You don't have to pay. Oh, thank give us
• 19:41
  to carry. Yeah, of course, no, definitely won't have any illegal
• 19:44
  problems for sure. Perfect Okay, Jim, moving on next question for you.
• 19:48
  Did you know that Cindy Lou who is now the lead vocalist of hard
• 19:52
  rock band The Pretty Reckless. I did. She is very intimidating with her
• 19:59
  very intense I make up. Yeah, yeah, I was like, wow,
• 20:03
  okay, you know gossip Girl can do that to a person. She
• 20:07
  was in gossip Girl. Taylor Momson went from I don't know, I don't
• 20:11
  know her whole thing, her soul, don't credits, but she basically went
• 20:15
  from the Grinch to gossip Girl to being being the front man of of a
• 20:22
  metal band. Yeah, that's the entertainment life cycle, I feel. Yeah,
• 20:26
  a little bit of everything. I respect it for sure, definitely definitely.
• 20:30
  Okay. Could you fight a reindeer in hand to hand combat and win?
• 20:34
  Uh No, but I'd certainly love to pet one. Let's say about
• 20:41
  ransaid, they would absolutely bust my ship though. Yeah you've seen the mantlers.
• 20:45
  No, yeah, that vicious, the biggest hell deadly weapons. Good
• 20:49
  thank you for answering that one. I literally just earlier today watched a video
• 20:55
  of a guy who was hunting get straight up gored by a deer. So
• 21:00
  it's it's pretty fresh in my mind, so I can easily say no,
• 21:03
  I can't. It is gonna be a card a quick no. If yeah,
• 21:10
  if it get gets any speed whatsoever, I'm fucking dead. Du listen
• 21:15
  to the hospital for a month. Just before you go. I have a
• 21:18
  quick round of gate leapers for you about the Grinch. If you're interesting,

• 21:27
  to sign. Yes, thank you for pre signing up. Yeah. Ohbout

• 21:56
  Hudgins. I'm trying to remember all of your American actresses who then went up
• 22:00
  to just be Christmas movie people. Oh she's She's in I think four different
• 22:06
  films in the Netflix Christmas cinematic universe, right as me and Jane have coined
• 22:12
  it, Yes, where she gets with a different white guy every time.
• 22:18
  Every time. No, wait, oh, the same white guy. There's
• 22:22
  two characters that aren't white. So oh, there we go. Look at
• 22:26
  look at her, go look at the Netflix Cinematic Christmas Universe. It's amazing.
• 22:30
  They weren't the main characters, but they were just Vanessa Hudgins playing minor
• 22:34
  characters who got with non white people. So you know, yet you get
• 22:38
  what you get or do you take what you can get? That's yeah,
• 22:42
  that's what I meant you get. Yeah. I think that's a pretty reckless
• 22:45
  on. So okay, okay, I've kind of screwed you over a little
• 22:52
  bit with this game that I've made in the I've chosen you as the quick
• 22:56
  fire around kind of style game, so might not have much to do with
• 23:00
  the film, but you do have as much time as you want to answer
• 23:04
  the question. It's not going to be quick fire style perfect. I'll still
• 23:08
  answer it as quickly as possible because I have a competitive bone in my body
• 23:14
  and beautiful, Now, we can all get out of here a little bit
• 23:17
  faster, I guess. So. My hand is starting to cramp holding this.
• 23:22
  So you know how every who down in Whoville really likes Christmas m And
• 23:27
  you know how almost every who down in Whoville has the same name structure,
• 23:30
  that is something something who. Yes, Well, I'm going to give you
• 23:34
  clues to other pop culture names that would go well with that structure and rhyme,
• 23:40
  and then ask you to tell me the answer with who on the end
• 23:41
  to make a brand new who. So, for example, if I said
• 23:47
  the yellow Bear who loves honey but hates pants, what would you say,
• 23:52
  Winnie pooh Who? Yeah, that'll do, WINNI the Poohoo Who? There
• 23:55
  we go forgot? That's all right, it's least important world. You know,
• 24:00
  there's not a ton of people who have in their name. So that's
• 24:03
  that is true. That is true. It's quite echoic of him. Really.
• 24:06
  Okay, Okay, I I think I got I think I got the
• 24:08
  hang of this. I think I could do it. Yeah, I believe
• 24:11
  in you. I've got seven for your overall. Let's let's shoot for at
• 24:14
  least five. Come on, it's Christmas, let's do it. Okay.
• 24:18
  Your first clue English actress known for her roles in Black Widow, Little Women
• 24:23
  and Midsummer Florence Pugh Who Florence pu Who? There we go? Oh?
• 24:27
  God, I love her, one of my favorite Who's next one? The
• 24:33
  Little Yellow Electric Mouse? Who is the mascot for Pokemon Pikachu? Who?
• 24:41
  Who? Here we go two for two? Oh god? Okay, next
• 24:45
  one. Let's I'll make it a little trickier now. A term occasionally used
• 24:49
  by fanboys to describe highly capable female protagonists. Mary Lou who. Oh I'm
• 24:57
  so sorry it's Mary Sue? Who may sue? Fuck? Well, it's
• 25:02
  it's answering quickly? Is what got you? Yeah? Totally is. Oh
• 25:06
  shit, I think there is an actual Mary Lou who in the gringe.
• 25:10
  Yep, you were using your favorite Christmas film and also felt under the Prussia
• 25:15
  the self pressia of answering very fast. You know what, I'm going to
• 25:18
  take that as a win for me because I've never claimed a character is a
• 25:22
  Mary Sue. So yeah, if anything, I'm glad that I got this
• 25:26
  one wrong. Yeah, you're a good die. I'd be devastated if I
• 25:29
  got the Florence pu weren't wrong. But you know this one. Yeah,
• 25:33
  not a big deal. Yeah, we'll move on. You can still get
• 25:36
  passing. Great, This is fine, Okay, next clue his money,
• 25:38
  don't jiggle, jiggle it folds. He'd like to see you wiggle wiggle full
• 25:42
  sure. Why am I blanking on his name? Oh my god, it's
• 25:48
  it's I'm through through who I'll give you it. What's his first name?
• 25:55
  I'm for It's Louis. It's Louis. But you can of it? God
• 26:00
  damn it. Why why'd you had to bring in a TikTok sound? How
• 26:04
  dare you just trying to you know? This is a roundup of the whole
• 26:08
  of twenty twenty two, and I think that was one of the more iconic
• 26:11
  moments. It was. It was for sure. Okay, we'll get a
• 26:15
  little bit harder even still. The director of Face Off and Mission Impossible Too,
• 26:21
  who pioneered the heroic bloodshed and gunfoo genres within Hong Kong cinema. Oh,
• 26:27
  I'm unsure on his first name. I know it's Woo. I know
• 26:32
  it's Woo. Who is it? John? John? Who it is?
• 26:33
  John? Who? Yes? It was The Mission Impossible Too. That's like,
• 26:41
  you know, how how the Great Stole Christmas? Mission Impossible Too?
• 26:45
  They're at similar eras, right, So, honestly, I probably spent the
• 26:48
  same amount of time watching both of those two specific films when I was a
• 26:51
  child, specific and they're films. They're not I'm not calling them movies there.
• 26:55
  Yeah, that's art cinema. They are high cinema. Un Cruise wasn't
• 27:00
  even using cables when he scaled that cliff. Okay, too deep into mission
• 27:06
  impossible too sorry yeah sorry, Well neither was the Grinch. Neither Jim Carrey
• 27:10
  when he was climbing that mountain. Yeah yeah, that was actually him squatting
• 27:15
  that that whole cart full of toys. Yep, so impressive. What a
• 27:19
  guy, What a stuntman you are? Um? Yes I am. Yeah.
• 27:26
  Killer quads. Okay, just real quick with this one. The sound
• 27:30
  effect you make with your mouth when you're cartoonishly pretending to fire a gun.
• 27:34
  Put you who, I'll take it. I was gonna see what you came
• 27:38
  up with. I've got pup you who down here? Okay. If that's
• 27:44
  what a gun sounds like to you, I'll take it. That's a point.
• 27:47
  It is. It's the sound I use when I was a kid.
• 27:49
  Putt. And finally, your final one. If you get this right,
• 27:56
  you'll get six out of seven, which is a very merry Christmas. A
• 28:00
  time lord with the potential for his hearts to grow three sizes. That'll be
• 28:06
  a doctor who who? A doctor who? Who? There we go,
• 28:11
  six out of seven. Well done, Chris, yrs and look, thank
• 28:15
  you for this, and thank you also for being such a wonderful guest this
• 28:18
  year on all the episodes you guessed on Man. I enjoyed every goddamn second
• 28:25
  that I have spent with you guys doing gately bus. Thank you so much
• 28:27
  for having me. You're the best, Chris, You're great friends. You're
• 28:32
  hot. Slice of sunshine on this cold winter night, or at least that's
• 28:33
  what I wrote last night. Wait. Sorry, my name's Jim Carrey.
• 28:38
  Oh yeah, sorry, Sorry, Thank you, Jim dude. Happy holidays,
• 28:42
  Jim, goodbye, Jim. Don't write me letters. I don't know.
• 28:52
  Hello Jim. Why? Hello there, Matt, Hello, how are
• 28:56
  you? I'm doing pretty good? How about yourself? I'm doing. I'm
• 29:00
  just calling to say Merry Christmas and to thank you for being a guest player
• 29:03
  so many times on gate leapers this year. Oh, Merry Christmas. It's
• 29:07
  a joy and a half. Oh, thank you, thank you. I'll
• 29:10
  ask what the half is, but I'll just skip it. We've want to
• 29:12
  got so much time. No, it's a ton of phrase. Got it
• 29:15
  now? Yep? So okay, Jen, I've got a question, Well,
• 29:21
  I've got you, yes, what is your favorite Christmas film? Oh?
• 29:26
  It's really hard for me to pick a favorite. I've got a lot
• 29:30
  of tradition around Christmas movies. They've always been a highlight of the holiday season
• 29:40
  for me. Growing up, we watched a lot of the like claymation slash
• 29:45
  animation movies. You know, my dad is a big fan of the year
• 29:49
  without a Santa Claus. We watched that a lot. We did the classics
• 29:56
  Santa Claus and Grinch and all of those types of things. And now as
• 30:00
  I've grown into adult, it's just watching every bad but also beautifully good Netflix
• 30:07
  movie. Um that has the same plot over and over again. Um,
• 30:11
  Christmas in the Smokies, Christmas in the Rockies, It's all the same.
• 30:15
  But Christmas in some mountains some point. Yeah, Christmas in the Mountains.
• 30:18
  Um. But if I had to pick a movie that kind of hearkens to
• 30:26
  the like childhood nostalgia, Um, but also just is kind of a bad
• 30:32
  movie. Um is to Grandmother's House We Go. It's a the debut debut
• 30:40
  film for Mary and Kate Nashley Olsen. Um. So it's one of their
• 30:45
  like younger days movies. Um. And it's just it's just pure gold and
• 30:51
  it gives me the warm fuzzies every time. Yeah. No, that's a
• 30:53
  that's a good answer in a deep cut. Definitely more. I mean,
• 30:56
  I don't think anyone who's been into Mary Ka and actually is being described as
• 31:00
  this, but definitely more hipster of a pig than other people have chosen.
• 31:03
  Just give me a second to look through my database here of all Christmas movies
• 31:07
  ever, so I can pull up the appropriate questions questions. Oh yes,
• 31:14
  sorry surprised. This is a mini gate Leapers. I'm gonna ask you some
• 31:18
  general chat questions you know, how it is like entertainment, and then give
• 31:22
  you a little quiz on the Markat and Ashley films. You really couldn't help
• 31:26
  yourself, could you. Nope, not at all. It's who I am
• 31:30
  as a person. I just figure lean into it. Yeah, and generally
• 31:34
  people are giving it Christmas, so I get time. That barely works because
• 31:40
  everyone who's on this episode is done gate Leapers all year around. Okay,
• 31:45
  so first question for you, I have not seen this film. What happens?
• 31:51
  Oh man? So classic A couple of young kids think that they overhear
• 31:57
  their mom mentioning that they're handfuls. Um. And you know when you're a
• 32:02
  single mom and you've got two kids and you're working at a diner. I
• 32:07
  think it's been a while since I've watched the movie. Um. They overhear
• 32:10
  that they're being handfuls. So they decide they're gonna go to their grandmother's house.
• 32:15
  Which is interesting because they go to their great grandmother's house. Oh wow,
• 32:19
  so like as kids not going it's yeah, interesting detail. But they
• 32:22
  break they break open their piggy banks with hammers and they decide they're gone.
• 32:28
  No, they decide they're gonna go to see grandma instead because they're handfuls for
• 32:32
  mom. They get into hijinks. Of course, they're like six and trying
• 32:37
  to use public transit and stuff. Instead, they hijack themselves onto a delivery
• 32:42
  truck um with hunky delivery truck guy and um, hunky driven delivery truck guy
• 32:50
  loses the kids. There's a robbery couple that steals the truck. The kids
• 32:53
  are in the back. It's full hijinks and then it turns into a hole.
• 32:58
  Can the mom and the hunky cow Boy delivery guy find the kids that
• 33:01
  were technically robbed by the robbers. It sounds like Home Alone on acid.
• 33:07
  Yeah, yeah, it's similar. It's got the same vibe for sure.
• 33:13
  Okay, well, you've described a few scenes that do you personally have like
• 33:15
  either a favorite scene or maybe a moment or even a line from the movie.
• 33:21
  So there is this like really cute ice skating scene. I think this
• 33:24
  is again pulling a memory bank from a long time ago, but if there
• 33:29
  was a quote or something that I bring up all the time. So when
• 33:34
  it's found out that they are on the delivery truck, the guy is like,
• 33:38
  oh shit, there's two children on my truck, brings them up to
• 33:43
  the front cab to sit with him, and they like put them in seatbelts
• 33:45
  up there, and he's like, I have to get you back to your
• 33:49
  mom. You know, the responsible adult thing when you find two kids that
• 33:52
  have run away from home and one of them has to go to the bathroom,
• 33:55
  which is like hyjunk. That's mentioned a lot prior to that scene of
• 33:59
  like her being like, but I gotta go to the bathroom. They set
• 34:01
  it up, Yep, they set up the joke and they're sitting in the
• 34:06
  cab of the delivery truck, and um, she mentions, hey, man,
• 34:08
  I gotta go potty, like you gotta figure this out. I gotta
• 34:13
  go, and she just starts saying hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry.
• 34:19
  And so it's this guy who doesn't have kids, who was just trying to
• 34:23
  do his job close to Christmas, which has to be bananas being you know,
• 34:28
  like a UPS driver or whatever, like knock off UPS driver, and
• 34:30
  this little girl's just yelling hurry at him to go to the bathroom. And
• 34:35
  so, um, do I use that with my husband when I need to
• 34:38
  go to the bathroom and we're out and I need him to hurry up so
• 34:44
  we can leave. Yeah, sort of. Yeah, he's a hunky delivery
• 34:47
  drivers, yes, and he also wants to be a cowboy y. Yes,
• 34:51
  that's a sub plot of the movie. Okay, yeah, yeah,
• 34:53
  no, oh, just a fact about Chris. No that that's great.
• 34:58
  I don't think I think I've heard you use that not in context of going
• 35:02
  to the bathroom, but just when we needed to leave the house to go
• 35:05
  to an event or something. I feel like, yeah, it just really
• 35:08
  any usage of needing to hurry. It all come out and it was one
• 35:14
  of those things where even I was like where did I get that? And
• 35:16
  then it like dawned on me the scene and I was like, Wow,
• 35:21
  that was memory Bank quoting of a movie from just so long ago. Yeah.
• 35:27
  Yeah. What I'm finding with asking people that question, and I think
• 35:30
  it's the same for myself, is that it's never the wholesome moment in a
• 35:34
  Christmas movie that's people stand out in favor it. It's always the dumb throwaway
• 35:37
  lines that stay in your head for forever. Truly. I think it's like,
• 35:42
  as you mentioned, watching them every Christmas, it's watching things on repeat.
• 35:45
  They just stick in there. Yes, next question, where's Kate?
• 35:50
  Like I see Mary and I see Ashley, But where's Kate? I thought
• 35:53
  you think it'd be a series about triplets? Right, Well, when you
• 35:57
  have a double first name like Mary Kate does, Um, there's the sea,
• 36:04
  I mean technically there is. I think her name's Ashley Ashley Olson because
• 36:08
  like of Marvel fame. Now, so I guess that's the third sister.
• 36:12
  But she didn't. I don't think she existed yet. Oh that's true.
• 36:15
  There is a there is another Olson, isn't there There is another Olson?
• 36:17
  Who is currently film. Oh but maybe we'll change her name to Kate and
• 36:22
  then yeah, okay, very quickly, could you fight a reindeer in hand
• 36:29
  tanned combat and win? Depends on the circumstance, like is my dog in
• 36:35
  danger? Or did I just square up with this deer square squaring up in
• 36:38
  the forest? No dogs in danger? Oh? Then no, this thing's
• 36:43
  can collabor me. Okay, yes, that is the correct answer. Okay,
• 36:46
  And finally, Jen, before you go, it's me and you've already
• 36:49
  guessed this. I've got a quick round of gate leapers about Mary, Kate
• 36:52
  and Ashley. If you're interested, let's do this is some old compendium,
• 36:57
  backdoor mind closet stuff, but let's do it well. Fortunately for you,
• 37:01
  it's not just about what does it take me to Grandma's house? We go
• 37:07
  the longest freaking name. But because we'll never do a gate leap as about
• 37:10
  it, this is going to be all about the Mary, Kit and Ashley
• 37:14
  TV movie universe. So I'm going to see how well you remember them.
• 37:19
  I'm going to give you the title of a film and a brief plot synopsis.
• 37:22
  You've just got to tell me whether you think it's a real MKATVMU entry
• 37:29
  or if I made it up this morning when I should have been doing literally
• 37:31
  anything else with my life. Okay, okay, okay, here's your first
• 37:37
  one. Billboard Dad. Twin sisters try various strategies to get their widower artist
• 37:44
  plus sculptor father a girlfriend. That sounds super familiar. I'm going to go
• 37:50
  with real. It is real. Yeah, I think I remember that one
• 37:53
  after a great start. It's somewhere there in the background. There was probably
• 37:57
  a ups driver. There's a divorced dad. That's a theme always, okay.
• 38:04
  Next one, gone fishing. Twin sisters are forced on vacation with their
• 38:08
  divorced father, but a double booked cabin in the Pacific Northwest leads to love,
• 38:14
  laughs and lakes. I'm gonna go with the no on this one.
• 38:17
  Yeah, you've seen through it. This one is fake. They never went
• 38:22
  to the Pacific Northwest. They went lots of places, but not quite that.
• 38:24
  Yes, lots on the East coast. Next one, switching goals.
• 38:30
  Okay, yep, you didn't even need an inscription. That one's real.
• 38:34
  Now. It's a great, really bad soccer room. There were lots of
• 38:38
  them out around about that time of the night. They were doing work at
• 38:44
  the end of the nineties. They wanted soccer to be successful, didn't we
• 38:47
  all? It took ted Lasso to do it. Next one The Challenge.
• 38:53
  Twin sisters who live on opposite sides of the country with their divorced parents apply
• 38:58
  for the same Mexican reality game show in order to win college scholarships. That
• 39:04
  one is real. Yes, four for four, You just got two more
• 39:07
  left to get a complete set of answers. No pressure, No pressure.
• 39:12
  Fashion Week. Two competing design prodigies arrive in New York for their debut to
• 39:16
  the fashion world. The twist. They're twin sisters who haven't spoken in a
• 39:21
  year. That one's not real. That is correct, That one's not real.
• 39:25
  I thought I could trick you with their real life fashion stuff, but
• 39:29
  it hasn't worked. Okay. Final Mary Kate n Ashley TV Movie Universe Movie
• 39:36
  Universe Adventures in Appletown. Twin sisters witness a murder, but out to fear,
• 39:44
  decide not to tell anyone. They and their friend Ben, whose father
• 39:47
  has been wrongfully accused of the crime, go on a journey to find the
• 39:52
  real killer. Oh this one like sounds like one that exists, But I
• 39:58
  don't know if you did the thing of like mocking up from something that kind
• 40:01
  of exists. So I know that they've done their adventures with Mary, Kate
• 40:07
  and Ashley and it has like all the different themes. Hmm, you said
• 40:15
  Adventures in Apple, Adventures in Appletown, Appletown. I'm gonna go with no.
• 40:24
  Yeah, you've seen through it. And not only that, you've described
• 40:27
  exactly how I found that question as this is actually the plot of a Sprouse
• 40:30
  Brothers movie. Oh wow, So there you go named what Atown? Oh
• 40:38
  okay, I think it had an alternate title, but Adventures in Appletown was
• 40:43
  the American one. That's really funny. So there you go. Six out
• 40:46
  of six, six out of six, Merry Christmas. You really want for
• 40:51
  the like I need to stump her too, like none of the winning London
• 40:53

• 40:59
  those classics. Well, Jen, thank you so much for being such

• 41:46
  was gonna ask if there was a golden age of Honeke lights. I mean,
• 41:50

• 41:52
  but no, no, we got our candles and the death. That's it.

  has always been Gremlins. Okay, give me one second, Drew, get
• 42:42
  Santa, the Grinch, Gremlins, Here we go, Here we go.
• 42:45
  Okay, Gremlins, one of those non Christmas ee movies said at Christmas time.
• 42:50
  I feel like we need more of those. See I had that pre
• 42:52
  written and you just like said it with the thing, So like ignore what
• 42:55
  I just said there and now let's have the actual conversation that would be had.
• 43:00
  Yeah. I think there should be more Christmas movies that are just set
• 43:02
  at Christmas because ten percent of the calendar year happens when there's Christmas lights everywhere.
• 43:08
  Yeah. So the fact that there aren't more movies that are just like
• 43:12
  horrors or sci fi or whatever, where it just so happens to be Christmas
• 43:15
  is wild to me. Yeah, I feel like we were. I was
• 43:17
  going through a list of like recently of like Christmas Eve movies that aren't Christmas,
• 43:22
  and I feel like Home Alone is another good example of like, it's
• 43:24
  clearly a Christmas film, but it's not about Christmas. It just happens to
• 43:28
  me at Christmas. And like the setup device is the family going on a
• 43:31
  Christmas vacation that Leaven behind on, but they could have been taken a summer
• 43:36
  vacation. It could basically been like yeah, yeah, like, in fact,
• 43:38
  the second movie is not a Christmas movie because they take I think it
• 43:42
  is a summer vacation. And Donald Trump's there. Unfortunately I've never seen Home
• 43:46
  Alone too that that's your only homework for that movie. I mean, honestly,
• 43:52
  most memorable scene. It doesn't hold up as much as the first one
• 43:53
  does. Yeah, but definitely more than the other ones. I was gonna
• 43:58
  say, yeah, definitely more than the seven of Them Alone movie. Actually,
• 44:00
  ridiculous random fun factum the most recent really bad Disney Plus version they made
• 44:08
  with Ellie Kember. Yes, it was actually filmed right near my house,
• 44:13
  so there was a good period of time where like my favorite restaurant was right
• 44:15
  next to a church, and it was like the sign had been changed to
• 44:19
  be like from whatever town it was being set in the US, and like
• 44:22
  all the street signs were Christmas e even though it was like still like July.
• 44:28
  We ever attempted to sneak onto the set and lay some traps if your
• 44:30
  own, to kind of add to the chaos, it'd be amazing. Just
• 44:34
  imagine the set being like you just dodging some trapping, Like we didn't rehearse
• 44:37
  this one, and it's like we didn't plant this one in this old creepy
• 44:44
  church. But it's the best take we've gone. It's in the film,
• 44:47
  just in the credits, mysterious Prankster. Yeah, panksy pranks the punt was
• 44:53
  there somewhere, Yeah, yeahs it works. So do you speaking of Gremlin's
• 45:00
  even though we definitely talk to more about home alone, just now, do
• 45:02
  you have like a favorite moment or scene from from Gremlins. There is a
• 45:07
  moment in the film where one of the I think he's like kind of the
• 45:09
  town drunk character who's always kind of complaint. He's like weirdly racist. It
• 45:15
  keeps complaining how like, oh, machines are breaking down because they were made
• 45:17
  by like people from other cultures and I will not make example here. And
• 45:22
  then finally his card does break down and like one of the like gremlins jumps
• 45:27
  out at him and he starts blaming like, oh, those insert ethnicities here,
• 45:30
  right, and like he's just it's it's kind of that really funny like
• 45:34
  getting has come up in this moment of like always blaming other ethnicities for like
• 45:37
  America's problems, and then the problem is just like a gremlin literally in his
• 45:40
  engine. Yes, yeah, it's just for some reason always tickled me.
• 45:45
  Right, it's just taking like prejudice to its ridiculous and degree precisely. Yeah,
• 45:52
  And I must say I think just the gizmo in the toy store like
• 45:53
  strapping up with his like bandolier of pencils. It's just it's iconic and adorable,
• 45:59
  very icon very adorable. I've got another question for you. Look a
• 46:02
  look at the How could this small talk is going? I didn't think I'd
• 46:05
  be able to do this chat show a kind of thing. If you could
• 46:08
  pick anything in the world to multiply the way gremlins do, what would it
• 46:13
  be oh man ah, that is good. But I feel like I feel
• 46:17
  like just desserts. Oh that's a good answer. Like you know, you
• 46:21
  ever have that moment too, especially you're like an a party or something and
• 46:22
  like that one dessert goes like way too quick. Yep, just be like,
• 46:25
  oh, splash some water on this cheesecake and there's seventeen more cheesecakes.
• 46:30
  Yep, that that works perfectly. But would the cheesecakes then be evil?
• 46:36
  Look, look, cheesecakes are always evil. They're always out to get us.
• 46:38
  Oh my god, they are such a temptation. No, I think
• 46:43
  I think for the sake of this will say it. I think the question
• 46:45
  set it up like multiply like Gremlins. Yea, so we'll say not evil
• 46:49
  o the like Gremlins maybe, well the mob Wire like they're they're they're like
• 46:52
  not evil until they actually like eat after midnight. They're just kind of like
• 46:58
  malicious and troublesome. So like it would be cheesecake, but it would be
• 47:01
  like really good at falling off your fork and hitting your shirt. Yes,
• 47:05
  yeah, just a little cheeky, that's all it is. Chee cheesecake.
• 47:09
  And one final question, just before we get to a to a game.
• 47:13
  Could you fight a reindeer in hand to hand combat and win? I feel
• 47:17
  a lot of forest animals I could have, but a reindeer. I don't
• 47:20
  know. I've seen one of those things up close. No, that thing
• 47:22
  would knock me the heck out good. That's the correct answer. So okay,
• 47:27
  Drew, I have a quick quick round of gate Leapers for you if
• 47:30
  you're interested all about the Gremlins. I mean, I answer the questions in
• 47:34
  my car as I'm listening to the show, So why I'll do it on
• 47:36
  air for once, feel less crazy? Hell? Yes, hell, yes,
• 47:39
  you answer on quite a lot. You're a very good guest. We
• 47:43
  love thank you. I love being on the show. I will admit I
• 47:45
  camember what episode I last listened to? But your quick fire around had me
• 47:49
  like like bouncing up and down in my car at a red light, like
• 47:52
  shouting answers that you're a quick fire around kill me. Thanks man. They're
• 47:57
  the most fun to write. For sure. If I could do a full
• 47:59
  thing of quick fire rounds, it would well, it'd be like doing cocaine
• 48:01
  for ninety minutes. So when you eventually do the Wolf of All Street episode,
• 48:08
  yes, yes, we'll get Yeah, we'll get to it. I
• 48:10
  can't have had a connection there, Okay, Drew, this is going to
• 48:15
  be a very classic set of gate Leaper's nonsense. According to the official Gremlins
• 48:20
  fandom wiki, there are over twenty named Gremlins within the Gremlins cannon. So
• 48:24
  I've got a list here. You've just got to tell me if they are
• 48:28
  a canonical Gremlin or if I made them up about fifteen minutes ago. Yeah,
• 48:34
  go for it. I'm down. Let's see how many I can remember.
• 48:37
  Okay, here we go. So your first gremlin name is Mohawk.
• 48:42
  I think you made that one up because you're referring to Stripe. Who's the
• 48:44
  one with the mohawk. Oh, I've got you at the first hurdle.
• 48:47
  No, is there actually one named Mohawk? Yeah, but it's in the
• 48:51
  second Gremlin's film. I've kind of damn, I figured the one mostly not
• 48:54
  Christmas. E that's I feel like the majority of the Nadoles would be from
• 48:59
  that one. But I figure you were going right for like the easy cheap
• 49:00
  shot there. Damn, I replied myself. It's Christmas. People are people
• 49:07
  are too kind to each other at Christmas. I find so I'm here to
• 49:10
  be the little evil one. What's it? What's he called the Gruffala?
• 49:15
  No, that's the Grinch. That's it. I get in my gr Monsters
• 49:20
  mixed up, which is embarrassing in a Gremlins episode. Um okay, next
• 49:24
  name Haskins. I can't imagine which one it is, so I'm going to
• 49:29
  say you made that one up. No, that one's real. So that's
• 49:34
  one that died, the one that dies in the microwave. I did not
• 49:37
  know that one had a name, apparently according to the official Gremlins fandom wiki.
• 49:42
  And let me tell you, the people who manage that page are very
• 49:45
  strict and do not let you edit it. Wow, okay, I'll be
• 49:47
  rewatching the movie just to find that name. Now I'm treating what happens credits
• 49:52
  like he isn't a lab but I mean the scientists may have named it,
• 49:55
  so like I guess it's yeah, it's there again. The fight is with
• 50:00
  the people of Wikipedia, not me, well them after the show. Next
• 50:05
  one, Chomper. I mean, I feel like I've said no to so
• 50:07
  many and Chomper just seems this is an obvious one. Am I gonna go
• 50:10
  zero for three and say I think that's a real one. You're saying it's
• 50:14
  real. It's not. It's fake. I'm really doing well this Christmas.
• 50:20
  I've caught you in a Christmas trap. It's look this formal names left.
• 50:27
  You can still get you can still win this. You can still beat me,
• 50:30
  you can still get the majority. You can go in the hell of
• 50:31
  a streak. Just reset yourself, recent to yourself and think of Makway ready,
• 50:37
  Christine, Yes, it's the one that has boobs for some reason in
• 50:40
  the second movie, there we go. Yes, that's exactly right. First
• 50:45
  one. If the street got the one that has boobs for some reason.
• 50:49
  Let's not read into that one, please, let's continue Hatchet. I feel
• 50:53
  like there's one that uses a hatchet, and like I would not be shocked
• 50:57
  if he's just called Hatchet in the credits. So I'm gonna go with ye.
• 51:00
  Yes, I'm sorry, Drew, that one's faked. I did.
• 51:05
  I looked at the unnamed ones and what they did and then just gave gave
• 51:07
  it. But I'm basically just dicking around with you now, Drew. I'm
• 51:13
  so sorry. But that's like exactly perfect logic on that one though. Okay,
• 51:16
  your penultimate gremlin snapshot. Uh, it sounds like a weird camera pun
• 51:22
  and I know it's in a news station, So I'm gonna go with,
• 51:25
  yes, yes, it's exactly that. It's the journalist one with the camera
• 51:30
  that kills the the ego one. Yes, a freaking nutjobs movie, but
• 51:36
  it's also so good. I know, and I know I've I've pulled for
• 51:39
  the entire Gremlin's Law because this might surprise you, Drew, but we're probably
• 51:43
  never going to do a full Gremlin's gately pase you know what I understand.
• 51:49
  But this is it, and this is the final mark. Why here it
• 51:52
  is Petempkin like made even Tepkin like, Yeah that spelt the same. I'm
• 52:07
  really like in meta gaming here of like would you do that just for how
• 52:09
  weird it is? But then also like I wouldn't put it past them for
• 52:14
  some silly reason to have named one that. So I'm gonna go with yeah,
• 52:15
  why not? Are you going with? Yeah? Yeah, it's not
• 52:19
  I made this one up. It's a battleship or a mandy or an old
• 52:22
  film or something. Oh god, oh heerves it. You're you're a very
• 52:31
  entertaining player, and you very much have been throughout all the episodes this year.
• 52:36
  I'm so glad we could connect with you and the Carrying Away with podcast,
• 52:38
  But I'm afraid that right now this Christmas you got two out of seven
• 52:44
  just means I gotta go rewatch Gremlins and Gremlins two. Wife's gonna be happy
• 52:46
  with that one. I'll leave you to that. True. Merry Christmas,
• 52:51
  man, Merry Christmas and happy holidays you and all the gate Leapers. Hello,
• 53:00
  Jason, Hello, Matt. Wait, how's it going man? It's
• 53:04
  going good. How are you? I'm doing all right? You know,
• 53:07
  it's almost Christmas time? It is. It is a merry Christmas to you,
• 53:12
  Mary, Happy Christmas as the British say. Yes, yes, we
• 53:15
  sometimes say Mary. We sometimes stay happy, but I'll lean into it,
• 53:19
  happy everything, whatever you celebrate. I'm just calling you because that's what I
• 53:23
  do. I call people out with blue randomly and yeah, make social greetings.
• 53:29
  I don't really yes, that's the I wouldn't be more weirded out by
• 53:30
  this, but we do call each other sometimes, so yeah sometimes actually,
• 53:35
  yeah. Of all the people I think it's like, you and Order are
• 53:37
  the people who I could call and probably wouldn't think I was dying. Yes,
• 53:43
  whereas if I called, if I called anyone else, including my family,
• 53:47
  they'd be like, what's wrong? Where we are? Where your arms?
• 53:51
  What's happened? Right? Yeah, because you guys have scheduled calls as
• 53:53
  well. The time difference. Yet, so all that, all that and
• 53:58
  I do I just like order um, okay, Jason, while I've got
• 54:01
  you here, right team captain, because it's it's been a fantastic Yeah.
• 54:07
  I've gone to the quiz for you. But first I need to ask you
• 54:09
  a question. Okay, what I'm that Walmart right now? Oh, you're
• 54:14
  a Walmart right now? This is excellent, This is good, This is
• 54:15
  good stuff that explains the echoe echoe sounds. Yeah, yes, okay,
• 54:22
  I'll try and make this quick. Then, okay, what is your favorite
• 54:25
  Christmas film? There's a lot of them, there's a lot of them.
• 54:29
  Yeah, I think the top Christmas film I would say for me is Santa
• 54:34
  Claus. Oh the Santa c Yeah, the Santa clause yes, yes,
• 54:38
  clause as in the contract the contract. Yes, Santa Claus the person.
• 54:44
  But then Santa clause the contract as said in the movie. Yes, yes,
• 54:46
  great film, great film, great word play. You know, there's
• 54:50
  a lot word play in there arose such a clatter company. Yeah, yeah,
• 54:54
  that is great. That is great. It's a it's a good script.
• 54:57
  I think, like out of all films. Ever, maybe I think
• 55:00
  it was a big bee. It might be my favorite line of any day.
• 55:06
  Really did like that. Yeah, it's a good line that all scene
• 55:08
  is fantastic. Yes, yes, it's I mean, speaking of do you
• 55:12
  have a favorite scene or moment from the Santa Claus? Oh? I think
• 55:15
  it changes every time I rewatch it. Because last year it was that scene
• 55:20
  because I didn't realize how horrific the fast shaming and it was and it's so
• 55:24
  funny. Um, usually fashaving is not funny. I'm gonna I'm gonna allow
• 55:30
  that one this year, is it? Do you think it's sorry? Do
• 55:32
  you think it's unique because it's he is Santa Claus, like the guy who
• 55:37
  is the jolliest and happiest person with being fat? Ever, Yeah, I
• 55:40
  think that could be. I think it's the suddenness of the change as well,
• 55:45
  and then the fact that he comes in like the tightest gray sweats he
• 55:49
  can to before meeting. Yeah, he's a pretty unhinged guy too. He's
• 55:52
  just eating the most amount of sugar and saying the weirdest you know, out
• 55:57
  of pocket ship that you can in that setting is I played a joke.
• 56:01
  I say, I played a joke. I just did a bit on Ultra
• 56:05
  last night where Wall Double Gray Sweats put a pillow up my stomach and started
• 56:09
  shoveling cookies into myth as you do in marriage. I would know, Yeah,
• 56:16
  that's what That's what happens. That's what we do every night. That's
• 56:20
  a ritual for you guys. Yeah, yeah, I mean it's that's a
• 56:22
  great scene. This year, the scene that really got me was he's he's
• 56:28
  really Santa clausing it up, yes, you know, public area with his
• 56:31
  children, and he just sits on a bench trying to mind his own business,
• 56:35
  trying to be you know, non yeah, nonchalant about this pretty aloof
• 56:38
  and this one girl just just eyes him down, just keys in him,
• 56:44
  just keys him in. And there's like seventeen kids the next to the next
• 56:47
  scene. And I think that's funny too. It just changes. It's a
• 56:50
  great movie with lots to love about it. Yeah, no, it's it's
• 56:54
  fantastic. That's that is a good scene where I live. In that scene,
• 56:58
  there's like an elf queuing up and then just a kid from the soccer
• 57:01
  game has left the soccer game to quee up. It's it's good stuff.
• 57:05
  Yeah, it took me this year to realize that there was hidden elves and
• 57:07
  you guys told me that. So that's very perceptive. Well, no,
• 57:12
  I think you are quite perceptive. Don't put yourself down back that. I
• 57:15
  think you're quite perceptive, just not about elves in nineties Tim Allen movies.
• 57:19
  Yeah, so I got I've gotten other question for you about the Santa Claus
• 57:27
  if you did it? Would you if I killed Santa Claus? There we
• 57:34
  go. You just said you just said you were intuitive. There you go.
• 57:37
  Yes, you know, like I had to think a moment about what
• 57:42
  the question was and then would I And honestly, I think, in my
• 57:45
  heart of hearts, I absolutely would jump at that idea. Yeah, right,
• 57:50
  I think what you guys, people who are close to me know about
• 57:53
  me and maybe the listeners as well as I'm just a big kid, and
• 57:58
  more specifically, like I love Christmas and I do love joy on children's faces.
• 58:04
  Like we're not gonna get Michael Jackson here, Like it's not a Neverland
• 58:07
  situation, but like I am gonna like volunteer actually two days from now at
• 58:13
  the time of recording, to give gifts away. Oh nice kids in our
• 58:16
  city. So in a way, you already killed Santa Claus. And you
• 58:21
  ask what I commit? Murder or everlasting selfish enjoyment? Yes? Good,
• 58:28
  okay, good, good, That is the correct answer to that question.
• 58:30
  I reckon. Yeah, also Asian Santa Claus. First, Asian Santa Claus.
• 58:32
  I'm jumping you know what I represent Obama. Yeah, it's better than
• 58:37
  Obama. It is it's Santa Claus is better than the president. Everyone knows
• 58:40
  that. Okay, next question, could you fight a reindeer in hand to
• 58:45
  hand compact? I'm so sorry if the audio like goes back laugh there,
• 58:52
  But that's that's an inside joke because I'm very obsessed with what I could realistic
• 59:00
  take out. Here's the thing. Reindeer, domesticated, rink cariboo. They
• 59:02
  already have a disadvantage. They're domesticated. They've simped they've simped out, and
• 59:07
  that's a big disadvantage. Two. Good point. I did find this out.
• 59:12
  I found this out too, just as a fun fact because our friend
• 59:15
  Jen, who has been on the podcast before, she made probably about fifteen
• 59:19
  minutes ago, she made like a Christmas D and D situation she has for
• 59:24
  reindeer. Minis. I got anal about it, and I looked up the
• 59:29
  scaling of reindeers vertically stand only at four and a half feet. Okay,
• 59:34
  And the last part of that, which will really influence my answer here is
• 59:40
  the antlers, honor, caribou and reindeer are not pointing. We have white
• 59:45
  tailed deer in the fucking city that we live in, like they just comment
• 59:50
  sometimes yeah, And I've seen bucks like yeah they fight, Yeah, they
• 1:00:00
  have dick contests where they poke each other and stuff like that, and that
• 1:00:04
  looks vicious, whereas the reindeer this what what are you gonna push me?
• 1:00:08
  Or you're just a fancy coat? You know? Yeah, I could absolutely
• 1:00:15
  kill a reindeer with my bear fucking claws. All right, there we go.
• 1:00:19
  That's the answer. That's that's all we needed to hear. And then
• 1:00:22
  would I yes, yes, question The question was good. It wasn't what,
• 1:00:29
  oh I kill Santa then all his reindeer? Sure, oh yeah,
• 1:00:35
  just a certain commence, you know, Rudolph's knows won't be the only thing
• 1:00:38
  that's right about that, Okay, very good you. That was the correct
• 1:00:49
  answer for you. By the way, Jason, that's that's you. Do
• 1:00:51
  you believe I'll ask you a question, do you believe I could kill reindeer
• 1:00:54
  with my bare hands? No? I love you. I think you're very
• 1:01:00
  talented in so many ways. You are strong, just not enough to fight
• 1:01:07
  a heavy, heavy beast just charging. Um. I've asked every single person
• 1:01:13
  that question. Yea, every single person said no, fucking stupid. Do
• 1:01:21
  you have any comment to say to everyone who said no, Believe in yourself.
• 1:01:27
  Believe in yourself. It can happen. Yeah, it's Christmas, you
• 1:01:34
  have to. It's the American way. Yeah, No, it was the
• 1:01:39
  British another good film. Oh, actually, speaking of that, because we
• 1:01:45
  had we had Jen, we had Chris, we had Audra, and we
• 1:01:47
  had Drew and they all said that they could not fight a reindeer. I
• 1:01:52
  also spoke to Ben of Exploration. Unfortunately we lost the audio for that,
• 1:01:57
  so it won't won't be included in this episode. His film was Muppet Christmas
• 1:02:00
  Carol. We had a whole good bit about recasting die Hard with with the
• 1:02:05
  Muppets so well. But by the way, he also said he couldn't fight
• 1:02:09
  a D. He also immediately said no, from what I know about it
• 1:02:15
  as well, he could come on, believe in yourself, believe in your
• 1:02:20
  I like that. I'm the old arrogant enough to think that it's so on
• 1:02:27
  brand. I love it, it's fantastic. Give it to me, guys.
• 1:02:34
  It's Christmas as it is it is. Okay, Look, before you
• 1:02:37
  go, Jason, I've got a quick round of gate leapers for you about
• 1:02:42
  the Santa claus On brand my cucumbers. Now, lovely take that as not
• 1:02:50
  a euphemism, the Christmas cucumber. Okay. So this is going to be
• 1:02:57
  a round of IMDb trivia, which today stands for icy Man deathblow because he
• 1:03:04
  killed Santa and Santa is the icy Man. So I've got three questions for
• 1:03:08
  you, each with three fun fact style bits of trivia. You've just got
• 1:03:13
  to tell me which one is true and which ones were made up by our
• 1:03:15
  writing staff of twelve don't tell anyone, okay. So yeah, yeah,
• 1:03:22
  sure, we'll make it. We'll make it kind of Christmas Eve. We'll
• 1:03:24
  say it's twelve apostles, the full writing team. Okay, So your first
• 1:03:29
  question, The role of Scott Calvin was originally written for a different early nineties
• 1:03:34
  funny man before they declined. But who declined and why was it? A
• 1:03:40
  Bill Murray who stated he felt it didn't match his style of humor. B
• 1:03:46
  Robin Williams who stated that after doing Missus Doubtfire in nineteen ninety three, he
• 1:03:52
  didn't want to be branded as the desperate divorce dad of Hollywood. Or see
• 1:03:58
  Steve Martin who simply he stated he wasn't going to do that fucking shit.
• 1:04:03
  Now when you say that guy who said it wasn't his brand of comedy,
• 1:04:10
  yeah, Bill, Bill Murray, Bill Murray, it is his brand of
• 1:04:13
  comedy, though, isn't it? Because yeah, because in the Santa clause,
• 1:04:17
  he's very sarcastic. He's always going to have the last word in.
• 1:04:21
  He's just a dick, um and we and it is funny, but he's
• 1:04:26
  a dick. And that's literally Bill Murray. Groundhog Day, Ghostbusters, yea,
• 1:04:32
  space Jam. There we go, the three, all three of Bill
• 1:04:38
  Murray's heads. Yea. And So if I could see Bill Murray being the
• 1:04:43
  Santa clause, he's wrong, if that's true. Now that being said,
• 1:04:47
  I could also see Robin Williams just a climbing I mean he had he had
• 1:04:50
  a sour relationship with Disney, and I could see him not being yeah,
• 1:04:55
  because he I could see him not being wanting, not wanting to be typecasted,
• 1:05:00
  because I think he started really doing serious roles or more serious roles during
• 1:05:04
  that time as well. So I'm gonna say Robin Williams going with Robin Williams,
• 1:05:09
  not even considering Steve Martin. Oh out, man, I'm sorry.
• 1:05:15
  It's Bill Murray. Oh yeah, he was wrong. And your analysis was
• 1:05:21
  good though that it does feel like a Bill Murray fleck because it was written
• 1:05:26
  for him. Oh of course, there you go. So you got by
• 1:05:31
  the way, there's a lot of cats in these walts, you know,
• 1:05:34
  yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh what you're doing in the cat aisle?
• 1:05:39
  Get out of that. I gotta get my cats something for Christmas, you
• 1:05:43
  know, another one of it? Get get another cat? O lovely,
• 1:05:50
  lovely reference to also nineties culture, just like this movie. Next question.
• 1:05:56
  In older versions of the film, Tim Allen improvised a line that got Disney
• 1:06:01
  into hot water that has since been cut from DVD and Disney Plus versions.
• 1:06:08
  What was that line? Was it? A? He sarcastically told the waitress
• 1:06:13
  at Denny's that he wouldn't mind stuffing her turkey, leading to several hundred complaints
• 1:06:17
  from parents. During the theatrical release, b after drinking the soy milk,
• 1:06:24
  he commented, what is this politically correct juice from the soybean lobby in Washington,
• 1:06:30
  DC? Or is it c He sarcastically read the phone number one eight
• 1:06:36
  hundred spank me when speaking to his ex wife, and during the film's release,
• 1:06:41
  a woman from Ohio called the supposedly fictional number for her curious grandchildren,
• 1:06:45
  and it turned out to be a very real phone sex line. Of course
• 1:06:49
  it would be why would you? There's something I could see Tim Alan saying
• 1:06:57
  the first one stuff my turkey. I could see that. I love the
• 1:07:00
  details in your last comment though, so rich. So there's such a narrative
• 1:07:05
  there, you know, Yeah, yeah, a lot of stuff going on.
• 1:07:09
  Yeah, and so I just for the fun of it, I think
• 1:07:12
  it's the last one, And for the fun of it, it is.
• 1:07:15
  Yeah, Oh my god, are you It's in the It's in the VHS
• 1:07:21
  version of it, and apparently it's still in the versions if you buy it
• 1:07:27
  to rent, like on Amazon, but on Disney Plus and streaming it's not,
• 1:07:31
  of course, so of course more Disney censorship, you know what I
• 1:07:34
  mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's out of control, silly little
• 1:07:39
  mouse. Okay, your final question. This is a mini Gately Puss of
• 1:07:43
  just three questions. I'm currently kicking the shit out of the waltmart Santa Claus
• 1:07:46
  right now. Yeah, yeah, Darry asked me for charity. Actually,
• 1:07:50
  can you can you pick me up some mince pies while you're there? Okay,
• 1:07:56
  never mind, that's not one of the things that's made it over here.
• 1:07:58
  Never mind. Okay, your final question, your pie? What does
• 1:08:03
  that mean? Your final question? And this is you know it's out with
• 1:08:10
  race. We'll say if you get this right, you win two out of
• 1:08:13
  three. Comment. The reindeer makes grunting sounds throughout this movie, not like
• 1:08:17
  in sequels when he's all like, man, that's I showed you got videos
• 1:08:25
  recently. Yeah, it does, it does? You could just what I'll
• 1:08:34
  do is I'll just release this with just those making those noises, the secret
• 1:08:39
  version of this, like when SpongeBob and Patrick are just doing the okay,
• 1:08:47
  come at The reindeer makes grunting sounds throughout this movie. But where was the
• 1:08:51
  original comment grunt noise sampled from was It A the nineteen ninety three video game
• 1:09:00
  Doom. Was It B? Grunts made by Tim Allan himself, sampled from
• 1:09:06
  times he used heavy tools in home improvement. Yes, wait, hold on
• 1:09:15
  the sounds of polar bears from Toronto Zoo where they filmed scenes for this movie.
• 1:09:20
  Oh but just for the fun, I do like, yeah, yeah,
• 1:09:30
  we love a bit at all time. Yeah, so, which just
• 1:09:33
  sounds like masturbation, really, doesn't it. So for that, let's say
• 1:09:39
  it's are you going with the Tim Allen grunts? Yeah? Yeah, double
• 1:09:43
  credit? You know, yeah, he does that in the second film,
• 1:09:46
  so you knows how to get his money. I'm so sorry you've not won
• 1:09:50
  this Christmas quiz. They're actually from Doom. They're sampled from Doom. Yea
• 1:09:57
  cooler answer, for sure. One of the demons or something from Doom is
• 1:10:00
  like the noise of comment Pinky or whatever those things names are. I need
• 1:10:05
  to want I need to play the new games here. If you're listening,
