But then we'd be on the bottom.
As you come down.
No, just you.
Oh, just me.
Yeah.
We put him in the wheelchair.
We're like, no, don't worry, Pops.
He'll hold the wheelchair up.
I guess I don't have to monitor.
I guess not, yeah.
I like the other version where you're just like,
Dr. Elizabeth Erbison.
You forgot to take your pills, Pops.
I will. She texted me the comment
comment already
she texted me her comment
what she'll do is
like with Guy Fierce
she hasn't been watching live
so she texts me her comment
before she gets to work
I saw that.
But he said
Good morning everyone.
Wait, are we recording the part where
I'm without the camera?
Or is it with the video?
No, it's the intro.
Okay, so this is the intro.
So we are recording the intro part
for today's show.
This part doesn't disappear forever.
This part does not, yeah exactly This part doesn't disappear forever.
It does not disappear forever.
It will still be there.
This is actually one of my I love all the shows.
This is one of my favorite shows because
we have the whole group here.
And I get to see
everybody's face and chat
with everybody. And everybody looks
really, really
magnificent. Every time I put on the hat, everybody's face and chat with everybody. And everybody looks really, really...
Really good.
They just look magnificent.
Every time I put on the hat, I remember White Christmas.
Because at the end of White Christmas,
Bing Crosby leaves his ears out.
So his ears come forward and he looks very odd.
It looks like his ears go straight out.
So I always put the ears...
I put it over the ears.
I'm lucky I really don't have big ears.
I don't look.
Do I have big ears?
Those aren't big.
No, they're not big.
I got a big nose, but I don't have big ears.
Wait a minute.
Today is the Christmas show.
You will see it shortly.
You can try to hear the Christmas spirit.
But you will be seeing it shortly
and sorry we won't be able to have any
questions, comments
but we have comments from people who have
which is good because there are always
questions that you guys give to me because you know
I can't answer them
this is fantastic
that's the fun of the show because we give it to you and we wait five minutes
to see if you can figure it out
and then we give you one clue and then we give you
another clue.
And then five minutes later.
I mean, while Kevin Higgins had answered the question
like 20 minutes before.
That's why I feel so better about that today.
Because it's pre-recorded,
nobody can beat him to the answers.
Yeah, shout out to Kevin Higgins.
We'll miss you. Good morning, everyone, and welcome to Today y Mañana, Christmas edition.
I'm Alex. This is Xavier.
I don't think you even have to say that, but anyway.
Yeah, you've got Michael here. You have Nick here.
You have the whole ERPI team. You have the whole Emergent Financial Services team.
You've got Santa and the Elves.
You have Santa and the Elves here on Today y Mañana.
We should have gotten the old Gandalf beard for you.
That's right. So we'll have lots of fun
conversation. We'll have Christmas trivia.
We will have all the joys.
So afterwards
you can feel free to send us
your questions, your comments.
No, don't start.
And we did get a message before we start. And we did get a message
before we had 10 notifications
we did get a message from
Dr. Elizabeth Erpy saying Merry Christmas
to the Erpys. She loves us all and so happy
that you are her family.
Aw, thank you.
I thought for a second she was going to
say great show so far and we'd be like,
well, wait a second.
She loves me especially. I'm her favorite podcast host.
Of course, yeah.
Meaning you're over Rogan?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, over her top, all her top podcast people.
Okay, well, that's interesting.
Exactly. I am her number one podcast host, which is saying a lot.
Saying a lot.
All right, so we're here.
We are here.
Thank you, of course, to Emergent Financial Services,
to I Love Seville Network, to Judah behind the camera.
Judah's had his work cut out for him this morning.
We appreciate everything he does to get us on air at all.
And so we appreciate that.
And, of course, our great partners, Matias Yon Realty,
Charlottesville Opera Credit Series Insurance,
and all our amazing friends out there.
Amigos del programa.
Amigos del programa.
I type it every week.
You know, I'll ask one of these questions in Spanish.
There you go.
You can ask it, but he'll be able to do it.
First is, can he answer it?
I was going to be like, the answer is Bing Crosby. How do you say that in Spanish. Well, I do. I was going to be like,
if the answer is Bing Crosby,
how do you say it in Spanish?
Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby, yeah.
Sorry I could do that.
And wait, Pop says one more thing.
What are we supposed to do?
Oh, don't forget to like and share and subscribe.
There you go.
There you go.
We need to get you a bell
so that when you say subscribe,
you go bing.
Oh, no, you get those big red buttons. Yeah. Oh, no, you get one of those big red buttons.
Oh, yeah, the big subscribe button.
Well, people do that thing now where they point so that on the computer screen it looks like where the actual subscribe button is.
Which is what I did, yeah.
Yeah, but the problem is I've always had the reverse effect.
The minute someone does that to me, I'm like, I'm not subscribing.
It's like if you want me to get subscribed, don't insist that I subscribe. Entertain me, yeah. like, I'm not subscribing. It's like, if you want me to get to some donuts, it's that I subscribe.
Entertain me, yeah.
Yeah, but same thing as like and share.
Oh, I'm not going to like it now since you told me to.
Yeah, but I don't like when people are in your face and guys are like,
do it, no, you've got to subscribe.
I'm like, no, I'm not.
How many people know that you're supposed to like and share and stuff?
People like Daddy don't know at all.
You don't know.
What do you know?
Because I don't do these things often.
Yeah, but you don't say it like a...
You're not pushy.
Yeah, you're not pushy. You're almost just saying it in a casual manner.
You're affable.
You know?
Exactly.
You're affable.
Jovial.
Like Chesterton.
It's a choice in life. You can be happy or unhappy. And if you're not happy, you're affable. Jovial. Jovial, yeah. Exactly. Like Chesterton. It's a choice in life.
You can be happy or unhappy.
And if you're not happy, you're not happy.
Well, that's what we do.
I mean, let's face it.
That's what we do.
That's why we do Today Mañana like week in and week out.
Exactly.
To be happy.
To be happy.
And bring people like happiness from all the stuff that's going on,
all the businesses out there, all the nonprofits.
We've got our Christmas at the Paramount this Saturday
that's right
I'm looking forward to that
I think we missed it last year
is that one you sing along
or no?
yeah
there is also
a double sing-along
so Xavier's got to
work on his voice
we could have done
what do you call it
when you do
capella
acapella
oh no
you won't know
when the people
kind of sing
but they do
the music
oh karaoke
no no no
that's acapella
yeah
and then someone
would be going
oh okay
because if we sing
it would be terrible
but if we could
make the noise
we'd go
I already told
Michael that
Michael Sloan
was here
since he
you could get
auditions and stuff
you guys should come
I said no I'm already nixing since he and I could get auditions and stuff, you guys should come. I said, no, I'm already nixing
that Xavier and I cannot
audition.
No, no, no, absolutely not.
Pops has a good bass.
There's no two, but if you just need a bass.
It's like a subwoofer.
If you just need a subwoofer.
He has no pitch, though.
There's no pitch.
But that's the whole point.
He has no capacity to make a note.
He's more like a percussive.
I'll be heard.
I'll be heard on Saturday.
That's all I know.
At the concert, exactly.
Exactly.
And then Mike is going to say, who is that?
I really need that guy in my choir.
You mean you're going to be surprised?
You're going to go on stage?
That'd be Pavarotti.
Pavarotti, yeah.
Pavarotti, yeah.
In the Elf movie, James Caan couldn't sing either,
but his voice made Santa's sleigh fly.
He was mouthing.
That was the difference.
Once he sang, though,
he was actually the Santa's sleigh.
I don't think Elf is a great analogy for life.
For who should be joining professional choirs.
You never know.
It's funny, I have a strange opinion about this
because I was talking with Pops the other day about Christmas
movies, and I said, it's amazing because some
as I get older, continue
to age well, and others,
not as much. I know some people
might get upset with me, but Elf is one of those
as I get older, I kind of, every year
I watch them less into it. Don't let my wife hear that. A lot of people like Elf is one of those, as I get older, I kind of, every year I watch them, like less into it.
don't let my wife hear that.
No,
I know,
I know,
that's what I'm saying,
a lot of people like Elf,
but it's the same,
like Jingle All The Way,
I like less and less each year,
I'm like,
okay,
whatever.
Well,
you know what it is,
Christmas with the Cranks,
I told Pop,
I remember when we first watched,
I remember laughing,
it was funny,
and then like two years ago,
I watched it again,
and I was just like,
and there's like a couple funny seasons,
other than that,
it was just like,
part of that is Elf,
and it's just like, some of them just like, as I get older, maybe the novelty of the comedy wears off, but if it just like, eh. And there's like a couple funny seasons other than that. It was just like, Part of that is also, And it's just like some of them just like,
as I get older,
Maybe the novelty of the comedy wears off.
Yeah.
It's not an everlasting comedy.
You know, but, you know,
White Christmas I still enjoy.
It's a wonderful life.
You still enjoy Christmas, Carol, you know.
Going my way.
Going my way.
I was like,
oh, we shouldn't be watching this movie.
He's pregnant because she's making her cry.
I'm like, well, it's Christmas.
Yeah, go ahead, you know. You want going my way. Oh, going my way. Yeah, going my she's making her cry. I'm like, well, it's Christmas. Yeah, go ahead,
you know.
You want going my way.
Oh,
going my way.
Yeah,
going my way,
made her cry.
So I'm like,
just have another cookie,
you know.
Have a cookie,
have some apple cider.
Yeah,
yeah,
apple cider.
Just fill back,
fill those tears
with something fun.
It was so bizarre.
Yeah,
I don't know,
maybe it's because
I'm getting older
and I get like emotional now. I'm getting older and I get emotional now.
I was getting emotional and I was trying to be
at the end of White Christmas.
It was weird.
Nothing was...
It's a happy ending of White Christmas.
It literally just ended.
There's not one sad scene in White Christmas.
No, that's what was weird.
It was ending. They were all happy
singing White Christmas together
and it was zooming out for the end scene. singing White Christmas together and it was like zooming out
for like the end scene.
And I'm like getting emotional.
Like, oh, this is wonderful.
It doesn't have to be sad
to be emotional.
The only part that's emotional to me
is the general
when he's walking down
and he finds his son.
There's another scene
where the guy can't get his pants on
and makes me cry.
That's great.
I'm like, oh, no, that's me.
I can't put my pants on.
I know that feeling.
It's shrunk.
It's shrunk.
It's shrunk.
The pants shrunk, and you just can't be what you were.
Yeah, but I was crying emotionally at the end.
I was like, oh, it's so happy that I was then crying.
But it was a happy, emotional thing.
So it was funny.
One of the best ones. Did you spike your it was funny. One of the best ones.
I mean, I have to say.
Did you spike your eggnog?
One of the best ones without an S is Christmas Carol.
Because when he comes out of the dream stage.
Yes.
And he's like, he's called Berserk, right?
He's so happy.
Like Berserk.
It's like, it really lifts you up too.
Because like, look at him.
He's just like.
He's so happy.
He's so happy.
He's alive.
And that he can.
And I love too.
Every year we watch
the Christmas Carol
mama afterwards says
oh I want to be like that
every day of my life
and then by the next day
it's not even my mother
by the two of them
it's not
yeah the show
that life is like
she's back to know
she's like oh
I want to be like that
I want to
she goes back to
humbug Scrooge
and then the next day
no it's not happening
well the funny thing too is that everyone has a different favorite version of A Christmas Carol.
Ours is the one with Alistair Sim.
From, yeah, 1950s.
1954?
Something like that.
It's not one of the trivia questions?
No, no, no.
But, no, it should have been.
Well, no, no, she doesn't have a favorite version, but I've noticed that whenever I see, like, online, people have their favorite version.
Some people like that.
Which version did your wife grow up with?
I think I was kind of random. I'm not sure.
There's one with Patrick Stewart,
George C. Scott. There's a Michael K.
Muppet one. Did you know there's one with
Albert Finney? I saw a commercial for it the other day.
With Alec Guinness, right?
Wasn't Alec Guinness in one of them as Marley?
Maybe.
Then I saw a poster for a Patrick Stewart one.
I didn't even know there was a Patrick Stewart one.
And then there's the Muppets one.
All English actors must do a Christmas Carol.
Must be like a requirement.
It seems like a rule that all English actors eventually have to play.
You have to perform all the Shakespeare's and then a Christmas Carol.
It's very true.
It's very true.
Apparently Jim Broadbent did one.
What?
Yeah.
Which one did he do?
I can't remember.
I can't remember either.
But then Jim Carrey did the Disney one.
Yeah, he did the animated one.
Mickey Mouse still tops, though.
We saw it last year after we found the DVD of it.
That 30-minute, it's like half an hour, we saw it last year we finally found the after we found the DVD of it that 30 minute
it's like half an hour
yeah
Disney 1970 something
Christmas Carol
is so good
I don't know
you would think
that you can't do it
in like 20 something minutes
but they actually
you do it in 20 something minutes
and it's just
there's only one thing
that really doesn't make sense
is making Goofy Marley
because there's no way
in any world
that Goofy
would have been Jacob Marley.
He was so mean.
Goofy being that greedy and mean.
Yeah, exactly. He's Goofy.
He just has the face.
I guess they had to put Goofy in there somewhere.
I'm making Marley.
It's so perfect.
It's so perfect.
Who's Tiny Tim though? I can't remember who's Tiny Tim.
Mickey Mouse.
He's like a little tiny little
Minnie Mouse
yeah
Minnie Mickey
yeah
Minnie Mickey Mouse
and what's his name
is
is death
the future
of Pete
yeah
Pete is always good
but you don't see him
in the original
just like this
voiceless darkness
but in the Mickey Mouse
it's like nah
it's Pete
he's got a cigar
and he pushes
you into a grave you don't see him to the end where he nah it's Pete he's got a cigar and he pushes him into a grave
to the end where he reveals that he's Pete
but the whole time he's got the cigar
you know he's bad
the ghost of a Christmas
future shows up with the cigar you're in trouble
because it
comes across like the mafia
it's got that ending where like Scrooge has all the little
kids on his lap in the rocking chair
and it's just so adorable.
Yeah, it really is.
That's a good way.
Also, it's 30 minutes.
It can hold a kid's attention span for 30 minutes.
Oh, yeah.
Exactly.
You get the Christmas carol.
I went on a binge and bought a bunch of those classic Disney DVDs.
They had them on Walmart and Target.
We figured let's get them before they
stopped selling them and they put them back in the
vault.
Let's not go there.
Elizabeth gets me there
by myself.
You let them
and I'm like, when baby
girl comes, you're like, oh, we have all the ones.
Oh, yeah.
All the ones to do it. The old Disney movies are really good.
Yeah.
Well, it's also fun, too.
Little kids, you never know which one they like.
Like we had our cousin Amanda's baby over,
and we tried to show Little Mermaid.
Another, I forgot which one.
Maybe it was, what was it, like Cinderella?
No, Peter Pan.
We were trying to find one that she liked,
and out of all the random ones, she liked The Lion King
because she ended up liking lions.
Right? But it's like, two years ago,
I was like, The Lion King. That's her favorite one.
But that's the only one that, apparently, the only one
she sees is The Lion King.
Or The Lion King 2 or whatever.
Oh, no, I'm sure. But it's as funny
to see Twitter.
Do you like, do you like, yeah, you like
Little Mermaid? No?
Peter Pan? No? Like, Peter Pan?
No?
Like,
Cinderella?
No?
But then it's like
The Lion King?
Oh,
big lion!
You know what you love?
The Lamb Before Time.
Huh?
The Lamb Before Time.
Oh, yeah.
The dinosaur.
Yeah,
because she likes dinosaurs.
So, yeah,
it's like,
oh, dinosaur,
big dinosaur.
Yeah,
big dinosaur.
That's amazing.
Right.
Speaking of movies,
that's the theme
for our Christmas trivia
this year.
So last year we had Nick just with all these random trivia questions.
But now we all have cards which we can all use to stump each other.
We became official this year.
So I want to start only because this is really easy.
However, you've got to listen to the question really, really carefully.
Okay.
Okay, was that a trick question?
No, no, no.
I didn't write these.
Remember, these came in a card, so you can't blame me.
But you have to listen carefully.
What is the full name of George Bailey's guardian angel in It's a Wonderful Life?
Well, I know it's Clarence, but I don't know.
Clarence Oddbody.
Oh, he's good.
How the hell do you know that?
I read that and I said Oddbody.
I love Clarence.
He's one of my favorite characters in the movie.
When did he say Oddbody?
He said it at the beginning.
Did you remember it too?
I was getting close.
I was going through.
I almost said Clarence Dimwitty, but then I know it's not.
Which is not as nice as Oddbody.
Sorry, Pops. No, that's okay. I know you really nice as Oddbody. Oh, nice, mate.
No, that's okay.
I know you really wanted to stop us.
I read it.
I said, Oddbody.
Who's going to remember that?
Clarence.
Everybody remembers, but Oddbody.
Okay.
He got you.
He always does.
He's got a great memory for movies and things like that.
Okay.
Some of these are probably easy.
What gang name do the two thieves give themselves in the original Home Alone?
Well, I know that one.
You know it?
I know it.
I know it.
I was just questioning it.
Okay.
What gang name do the two thieves give themselves in the original Home Alone?
So Marvin Harry.
Remember Joe Pesci?
The Wet Bandits?
Yes.
The Wet Bandits.
Very nice, Pat.
Very nice.
All right, I'm done for the day.
Yeah, I'm good.
I've got one question.
All right.
I know that my brothers are going to know this one,
and Xavier's not, or if you can remember.
What actor won an Academy Award for playing the part of Santa Claus?
Is that the guy from
34th Street there?
What's his name?
I don't know.
I know his name, but I didn't know he won the...
We don't know. I'm guessing.
He's guessing the guy from America on 34th Street.
He won a...
What did he say?
No, he didn't say anything.
You're not going to remember his name.
His name is Edmund Glenn.
No, it's not Glenn.
Oh, Gwen.
Yeah, well, that is the answer.
He won the Academy Award for that?
He's so good at it.
I know he's so good, but I didn't know.
He's the best Santa, absolutely.
For me, he's the best Santa in any movie.
Yes.
I mean, he personifies Santa visually and aesthetically.
Like the way he's
Like the twinkle in his eye like yeah, just see Anna like it's very now but remember this one movie was bad
Remember that I know
He didn't have
The same for a touch forward with Joel McRae. Yeah, he's bad. He's an assassin
Well, you promised
That movie obviously took place
I'm pretty sure before Mirador on 34th Street.
Problem is if you've seen Mirador on 34th Street
you just can't buy it. I couldn't buy it
that he was the assassin in
Foreign Correspondent. I'm like, nah.
To be fair, in Foreign Correspondent
he plays a very
jovial guy. Yeah, you're not supposed to.
He's playing the same character. He's like, oh no, I'm taking
care of you.
Don't worry about it.
Then he tries to push him out a window.
So I'm like, it's also part of it is that he was a very likeable person.
So Hitchcock cast him because, you know, you could very easily see him being the nice guy, not the assassin.
So that's why you can't see it is because it was a good twist.
Yeah.
All right, it's your turn. All right, you should know this because I'm pretty sure your wife has made you watch this numerous times.
I hope not.
In what year did the animated television special A Charlie Brown Christmas debut?
Oh.
1965, 1969, or 1972?
See, that's a good one.
I have seen it multiple times, but it doesn't say the year at the beginning.
69, is it?
He gets 69.
Because I think it was – I could have sworn.
So the first one is 1965?
Yeah, 65, 69 or 72.
Let's see.
I can't think of –
You're trying to remember how old was I?
Yeah, I mean, no. I remember watching
these things on TV, but I'm
not sure really. I don't remember when it first
came out.
I say 69.
I'm going 72.
65.
1965, you were 10 years old.
10 years old.
When it debuted on American television.
It's hard to remember that it's that old. You years old. When it debuted on American television. It's hard to remember
that it's that old.
Yeah, it really is.
You realize at this point
that means
that Charlie Brown
Christmas movie
is,
let's see,
was 50 plus.
That was 60 years ago
almost.
No, it must be,
let's see,
40 years.
No, no,
I think he's right.
It's basically 60 years ago.
60 years.
It's going to be
60 years old.
So next year
will be its 60th anniversary.
Wow.
Those are great.
That's crazy.
I remember every Sunday night, 7.30, Walt Disney will come on, right?
And we just couldn't wait because they always have something good,
whether it be Daniel Boom or a cartoon or something that I love, right?
And same thing with these things.
It's like when they came on,
you just had to make sure you sat there and watched them.
Because you couldn't tape them or anything like that.
Apparently, when they brought the movie to the studio ads,
the studio hated it.
Because they didn't like the jazz music.
They thought it didn't fit.
They weren't crazy about the animation,
and they thought there was no plot.
So they were like, but they had no choice. They had already scheduled it.
So successful.
And it ended up taking like 60% on the Nielsen rating.
Wow.
Like 60% of the country had their TVs on watching one show.
Yeah.
I don't think even the Super Bowl does that.
Well, let's be honest also.
There's only three channels.
Yeah.
Well, no, no.
There were more than three channels,
but there were the three major channels, right?
NBC, ABC, and CBS. That's true. So you really had to watch one were the three major channels, right? NBC, ABC, and CBS.
So you really had
to watch one of the three, and all of a sudden,
boom, especially if you had kids, this is perfect.
Boom. You're going to have to know what was on the other
two channels that day. What's that?
What was on the other two channels that night.
Whatever it was.
Nobody watched it. Only 40%.
All right, so here's one.
You guys probably remember this this because I wouldn't.
In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,
the Yule Ball is held as part of which tournament?
The Triwizard Tournament.
Triwizard, yeah.
Sorry.
Triwizard what?
Tournament.
Which tournament?
What is the Triwizard Tournament?
Oh, what is? Iswizard Tournament? What is?
Is it Jeopardy?
Man.
Some of them are easy.
This one's easy too.
Which Christmas movies played nonstop for 24 hours in America?
It's that
Christmas story.
A Christmas story.
You got it, Pops.
This one might stump you.
True or false?
Jim Carrey was originally lined up to be the star of Elf.
I'm going to say
true. True. I'm going to
false just to switch it up. It was true.
I thought you guys would say false.
Alright, you guys want
easier, medium,
or very hard? Just give it to me.
It was too very hard.
Which James Bond film includes a scene at a village Christmas festival?
Which James Bond film?
Yeah.
Okay, can you give us a hint?
Can you give us the actor?
This film...
Is it First Bond or Second Bond?
It is a Bond before Pierce Brosnan.
Oh, come on.
So it's either Roger Moore.
Was it Timothy Dahl?
It's the one with, I think it's the one with Roger Moore.
For Your Eyes Only?
For Your Eyes Only.

I'd never seen On Her Majesty's Secret Service a Christmas scene. I'd never seen Honor of Massachusetts.
I was like, okay.
I'd never seen that one.
I just had to think it wasn't there.
In the process of elimination, you go through the movies you've seen,
and if none of them have a Christmas scene.
Because I remember for your own zonely, they're somewhere where there's snow.
In the Alps, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
It's not that one, yeah.

That's what I was going to say.
I just guessed it first.

guess Shazam. Yeah, P want to know, Nick. I'm just going to guess Shazam.
Yeah, Pops.
Or Shazam 2.
Maybe they're in Aquaman.
No.
That's not Aquaman.
It can't be any Batman movie.
It can't be a Superman movie.
It can't be a Wonder Woman movie.
None of those are family friendly.
Oh, it's going to be family friendly.

Had to be interesting, sir.
I don't know.
They're right.
Shazam.
Shazam.
That's the only one I ever think of.
Some people are
yeah unfortunately
we did
the ones I can't
remember
well
another Christmas movie
they tend to leave out
Lord of the Rings
takes starts
the Rivendell
they leave Rivendell
on December 25th
in the calendar
oh
do they really
yes they do
I didn't see any
Christmas trees
when they did that
well it was
Rivendell
which Harry Potter
movie do you think
is the most Christmassy movie do you think is the most
Christmassy? Which one actually is the most
Christmassy? The very first one has Christmas, right?
Yeah, he gets his gifts for the first time ever.
I feel like the first one is most Christmassy, even though a lot of
winter takes place in the third one. Yes.
Technically speaking, the third one probably has
the most scenes in winter. Yes.
That one would be more of a Christmas.
The problem is you can't beat in the first one.
He gets gifts for the first time. Merry Christmas, Ron. Merry Christmas, Harry. There's also a Christmas beat in the first one Merry Christmas Ron, Merry Christmas Harry
there's also a Christmas scene in the second one
the music comes back
oh I forgot that
yeah but it's not the same because he doesn't get to guess
but literally the Christmas scene
literally lasts like five minutes
in the first Harry Potter
the third one is throughout all
I have presents
he's never had presents before.
I remember they're playing wizard's chess and she goes,
I checked the restricted section. Happy Christmas.
And then she leaves.
And then they go to the restricted section.
Happy Christmas, Ron. Happy Christmas, Harry.
Those are the best, really, because there's little kids
with their voices.
We'll see who they are.
I'm pretty sure that first one, the first
Harry Potter movies did come out at Christmas, around
Christmas time too
I remember seeing them
during the holidays
that was the best thing
while you had your Christmas break
we would go see Harry Potter
those were great times
now it's like
what's coming out at Christmas
nothing
nothing good that I can think of.
Not that I can think of either.
Those great years,
great movies
are behind us
at this point.
Golden Age of Cinema.
Golden Age.
Superhero movies.
The Lord of the Rings
and Harry Potter
was the Golden Age of Cinema
and then just kind of
tail end.
I mean,
even The Hobbit.
Those were good.
Those were good.
You know? Well, especially the last two because they had a lot of snow so that also had a record. Oh yeah, yeah, it's true. I mean, even The Hobbit. Those were good.
Well, especially the last two because they had a lot of snow.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, it's true.
Yeah, especially the second one.
Yeah, the second one. Yeah, they added a little.
And remember when The Woman came out?
Yeah, when we were in 1984.
Even though that wasn't the better one.
The first one was better, I think.
Yeah, much better.
Yeah.
But at least we used to.
I mean, it felt like so.
There was always something to see at Christmas time
or yes
at the end of the year
some good movie
would come out
and you'd be able
to enjoy it
which was almost like
part of the holiday
you felt good
you went out
yes
but now that's kind of like
feels like it's gone
you know
maybe one day
it will return
we'll get the joy of Christmas
back in your life
with some port
and cookies
and some food.
Well, that's always good.
What's your favorite thing to eat at Christmas time?
So sweet or savory?
Anything.
Some things you don't eat every year.
So I have to admit the turron jihona is the one thing I look forward to the most because truly we only eat it once a year.
Yeah.
And it's a flavor that I enjoy tremendously.
It's very Christmassy.
So for those who don't know what that is, though, just for you.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
It's a nougat.
It's a nougat made of almond paste.
It's the soft one.
Yeah, it's the soft one made with almonds and honey,
and it's made into like a big bar,
and you just cut little chunks of it and eat.
For me, cookie-wise, Mama makes a cookie called a Cucidati, it's made into like a big bar and you just cut little chunks of it and eat for me cookie wise
it's mama makes a cookie called a cucci dati which is basically like a cookie with like a like a sweet
fig jam in the middle okay i like that better than the three color one three colors is also
really good too i'm not gonna lie but cucci dati is like we're like kind of like a special thing
you really can't find it was technically in new, for example, they make those at Christmas.
The Cucci Dati, sorry,
the three colors, she'll sometimes make other times.
Exactly.
But the Cucci Dati, she'll make it.
And like I said, you can find other three colors
that are good, but Cucci Dati,
the way Mama makes it, you really can't find it.
And it's got like a sweet glaze on top
and sprinkles. And then for me,
I mean, it's not really savory, it's still kind of sweet,
but I always need a good panettone
during the winter.
It makes the three-color cookies all the way.
Yeah, I knew it.
The three-color cookies and the port.
Just having the combination, just like
after dinner. Oh, no, port you have to have with Stilton,
right? No.
That was going to be my double answer.
One was
actually, for me, it's the simplest thing, but I just love it if you use the sprigster tea.
The little...
Oh, yeah.
And then I do love my port with Stilton.
I only have it at Christmas time.
The only thing I'm going to say about that is that that is a British...
Because really, Stilton comes out during the winter, during the time of year.
This is what it seems to show up in the stores.
Otherwise, you can't even find it.
That is a British thing, and the British are not known for their cuisine.
That's all I'm going to say about it.
That's not cuisine.
That's just cheese and pork.
Or their taste.
And one is Portuguese, right?
So that's good.
And the other one is definitely, you know, it comes from a cow.
There's cows everywhere.
That cow is special because it creates that bacteria.
Exactly.
Well, if you like things that have gone off, it's a great combination.
No, it does go well because, so the port has a sweetness to it exactly you've made this argument
before i've heard when you eat the cheese it's a strong cheese and then you have that port
and it just really engulfs your whole mouth with that port and it feels and it just tastes
delicious you know i have to admit that is good not that I don't like port with cookies too. I like port by itself with cookies.
Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, any day.
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday.
That's a good Christmas movie.
The Godfather.
They have a Christmas scene in it?
Well, that's a New Year's kind of movie.
Oh, man.
Start the New Year, right.
Well, it's the same thing with Lord of the Rings.
I feel like Lord of the Rings is a New Year's.
Just clean up all the toxic people in your life.
I feel like Lord of the Rings is a New Year's movie
and probably caught on that way
because what happens
is New Year's
you're just trying to kill time
to 12 o'clock
so what better way
than it's like
I got 10 hours to go.
Wait a second,
10 hours?
Extended edition.
I said,
just watch it,
it's up,
10 hours,
let's go.
Some people do that.
I've literally,
I read a book
where the guy's like,
I would recommend
that one day
for like New Year's Eve
just sit down and watch, he said it was one of the greatest things he ever did in Year's Eve just sit down and watch
one of the greatest things he ever did in his life
was to sit down and watch the entire
extended edition of The Lord of the Rings
straight.
Some people prepare food
ahead.
You have to get
a really comfy chair to do that.
The chair is in the basement.
You can't sit down
you guys can come
over to my house
I'll prepare my
yeah even your
house doesn't have
like I'm talking
about like those
people probably got
like massage chairs
and then it's
moving them around
this way they're
like all right
this way it's like
they're actually
moving
keeps the circulation
exactly I mean if
you sit down 10
hours
