ah merry christmas it's the most wonderful time of the year what is the song even like what was that song that is a Christmas adventure. We're ready for an adventure. Yep, knew that. All right, Adam, take it away. All right. Ho, ho, ho.

Coming to you from Denver, Colorado, home of Remax World Headquarters. It's Start With A Win, Christmas edition. Adam Cotto, CEO here with the whole crew. Yay! Ayo! Hello, everybody. And if you're not, if you're just listening to this podcast episode,

you need to pop over to YouTube, subscribe, hit that like button and the bell icon and see how ridiculous we all look right now. I spent a lot of time decorating my podcast studio here, Mark. So much time. You legit look like Santa's little helper. I am. I am. That's me.

But a big helper who wakes up at 4.30 a.m. to start helping. That's right. Santa better have his ass in the gym tomorrow. Don't call big. Geez, Mark. It's the holidays. That's why we're all so big. It's those charcuteries.

I don't know how to take that, Kayla. Yeah, it's a lot of charcuterie boards. There we go, talking about food again. So let's kick this bad boy off. That's right. Engineer James has got a game for us. He's got a game for us queued up. James, why don't you tell us a little bit about this game?

Yeah, and for those of you listening in, you can play along and just see how you do. But we're going to do Name That Movie Quote. Whoa. You guys are going down. Oh, we'll see. We'll see. We've got 10 clips.

Actually, we've got like three clips per 10 movies, and they get easier as you go. So the first clip I play for each movie is going to be really hard. It's going to be like the obscure quote, and then it's going to work its way to like literally telling you the name of the first clip I play for each movie is going to be really hard. It's going to be like the obscure quote and then it's going to work its way to like literally telling you the name of the movie in the clip. So you got to try to guess it on the first one. And you three are competing with each other. So the first

one to shout it out wins. And these are all Christmas classics. There's nothing that I don't think people will know. So. Okay. That's how we go. I'm ready. That was a double negative. So he thinks we're all going to nothing that I don't think people will know. Okay. I'm ready. That was a double negative, so he thinks we're all going to know stuff. I think you're going to know stuff,

but I think you're going to have to work hard. We come from three different generations here, so see how that works. We will get this started. We'll do a little test, and this will be our first movie clip and see if someone can get it.

What would you like me to bring you for Christmas? Nothing, thank you. Oh, come now. You must want something. Whatever I want, my mother will get for me. I know what this is. Me too. Miracle on 34th Street.

Oh, wait, what street? 34th Street. Miracle on 34th Street. Oh, wait, what street? No. 34th Street. Miracle on 34th Street. Correct. It was Miracle on 34th Street. Wow. Well done, Kayla. Yeah.
