Pod Is My Copilot
PiMC: Episode 40 - Shoot Down My Chimney, Santa, or The First Annual PiMC Christmas Special...
You're listening to Pot is My Co-Pilot with Taylor the Latte Boy, Tabby Carlisle-Hovington and Rodan. Happy Holidays from Pot is My Co-Pilot. We're here for your listening enjoyment this holiday season. I am joined as always by the lovely and caffeinated Taylor the Latte Boy. Hey, bitches! Happy quadsah! And the desperately trying to get pregnant Rodan. Oh, whoa, whoa! Got that right. Yeah, well, all right, now children, this is not an episode about sexual innuendo. This is an episode to talk about Christmas with your logs and... Dylan, you're stalking. I was about to say, if we say no sexual innuendo, everyone's going to turn it off. People are going to turn it off, not even at a minute. And, you know, nothing such Christmas like a dick in a box. Exactly. Um, what are everyone's plans for the holiday? Well, the Rodan, yeah, hopefully. Okay, thank you everybody, have a good week. And bye bye now! All right, Rodan, what are you doing for the holidays? I'm actually driving from Munro down to Central Florida, spending the holiday with my mama and my brothers and their sons, so my nephews. So you're coming here and Taylor's leaving? Yes. But the plan is for Rodan to meet up with us at the end of the week. Yes, that is the hope. And that's really the plan, we just don't know when Taylor is coming back yet. I should be back early Friday morning, like by early I mean like 1-2 in the morning. Okay. Yeah, the plan is for me to leave Thursday, the Thursday after Christmas, and I'm going to be meeting another podcaster for lunch. I'm going to be meeting Tim Kormal of GoRainbowRadio.com. Nice. That's the plan. I hope when he says I'm meeting him for lunch, he does air quotes around the word lunch. Yeah, right? Yes. I'm meeting him for lunch. He's going to show me the Washington Monument, but he lives in Virginia, but I'm pumped. God. All right, this is a Christmas episode. Get on with it. Margaritas are fun. Yes, so Taylor's been drunk for an entire week. Welcome to pot as my co-pilot, with Tapping Harlelle Huffington, Rodan, and Lindsay Lohan. Well, and Ms. Taffy, what are your plans for the holidays? Well, last year we left the Christmas day afternoon, and I swore I would never do that again because it was a nightmare. So we are all at the Huffington House. Thank God I'm counting the days, counting the days. I love it. I love what everyone's out of school, and it's just nice and easy, and I love it. I wish school lasted about two months of the year, so I'm very excited to have Christmas break. You're having both sets of in-laws at your house this year? Oh, hell no. Do I look stupid? When you said anything, you said anything to the Huffington, so I assumed that... Well, what usually happens is Christmas Eve, we all go to the Whittle Carliles, and we all open gifts there, which usually takes about 14 hours, and I'm not exaggerating because there's 10,000 gifts, and everyone has to open theirs, and everyone has to sit and watch and go, "Ooh." No, see, I like that. I do like that. I do like that. I do, but when you have cousins and in-laws, and cousins and in-laws, and everyone else sitting there, it's literally the evening starts at 6.30, and then goes until 12.1 o'clock in the morning, but it's still Christmas Eve, so Tank and I have things to do to prepare for Christmas morning, plus Santa still comes, even though they're 15 and 11, so, yeah, it's a long night. I bet Santa comes. You better believe it. All over my ass, God. Nice. It's a Santa Claus, Bukaki special. Shoot down my chimney, Santa. So then after Christmas morning, we all go over to Tank's Mom's house to open her gifts, and then we all, all of us, have dinner at the Whittle Carliles on Sunday night. I mean, on Christmas night, and usually by then, I'm wanting to punch one of them in the face. There's a little too much Christmas love for me. Nice. Love for your fellow man this holiday season. Well, if you all are hearing this, this means I made it to South Jersey alive because I'll be posting this after I get up to the South Jersey for the holidays. Where it's cold. Yeah. It's supposed to be in the 40s all week, so I'm going to get to where my new coat, the taffy got me for my birthday, and the plan is for us to go to Storybookland on Friday. Oh, I'm sorry. No, Storybookland is one of those places that I remember going to, when I was little for Christmas, and it's pretty much this little tiny park off the side of the road in South Jersey that they have all of these little houses and rides for little kids, and we're going to take my niece and my nephew, and they have it all set up for Christmas, and they have the hot chocolate, and you know, all that sort of stuff. And is your mom going to get to see your niece put the cookies out for a second? Well, there was discussion about that tonight when I talked to her on the phone because she had made a big deal about that when I made plans for us to go out to dinner for Christmas Eve, because my sister goes to her in-laws, and one year, many years ago, they kind of do the same thing of where they open presents one at a time. And my mom and I were invited, it was one of the years that I went home, and my mom kind of fell asleep while everybody was opening their presents, and since then, she's not allowed back. So, when I go home, I usually take my mom out to eat someplace, and she made a big deal about wanting to be home in time for, you know, watching my four-year-old niece put the cookies by the chimney and all that sort of stuff, and- But that's a nice tradition. That is a nice tradition, but she also said that it's no big deal if she doesn't see it, because apparently when she does do things like that, when they come home, and my mom is waiting there for them, you know, my niece of mine, if you get all excited, because grandma's there, and then my sister has a harder time putting them down to bed, so she's if anything, it might help to get her out of the house. Nice. Nice. But yeah, so then I'll be opening presents Christmas morning at my sister's house. My sister's huge Victorian three-story beautiful wrap-around veranda makes me want to punch her in the throat house. Happy holidays, Robon is my girlfriend. But you're not bitter. You're not bitter at all. No, I'm not bitter at all. God, this margarita's good. Maybe you would feel better about Christmas if you yourself had a Christmas tree. Um, yeah, I did not put up a Christmas tree this year just because I was going to be gone, and especially at night, walking past all the houses, completely regret not putting up a tree. So let this be a reminder to myself, self, next year, even if you go up to South Jersey for Christmas, put up a Christmas tree. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I feel too. I mean, I really should have put mine up. I didn't. And I'm regretting it. Well, you've got enough tree for both of us in your house. That's going to say I have enough tree for both of you too. So you're fine. You have enough tree for all of our listeners. I do. It's a big tree. But the only thing bad about the big tree is I started wrapping gifts, which I personally completely enjoy. I've been done shopping for a couple of, actually, I've been, I've been big shopping done since the day after Thanksgiving. But I've had a couple of things here and there. I wanted to buy. Speaking of which, one gift I bought with you, I can't find. So maybe you have it. I don't know. But anyways, for the, for lollipop, as it were, anyways, I started wrapping things and putting them under the big tree, except when you wrap gifts and put them under a normal sized tree, it looks like you have a lot of gifts. If you wrap gifts and put them under a big tree, I have four things. I wrapped, I literally wrapped gifts for three hours. I probably wrapped 60 gifts. It doesn't, you can't, they're all, they're all gone. Don't put them under the tree, put them under the perimeter of the tree. It's a seven foot wide base. I couldn't walk through my damn house if that was the case. I mean, it was, they have to go underneath it. And it's just, I was like, oh, I put them all underneath there and tank us and he goes, oh my God. I said, I know, I know, it's sad because they were all stacked up in, in the family room. So it just looked like there was tons and tons of gifts. And this is the one under the tree. It looked like there was four things. Well, and now the girls are all excited because they think, well, Santa's gotta go shopping again. No, actually they're, they're really wise in the fact that they know that all the gifts for them are pretty much kept off campus. They're none of them are at the house or at least very few of them are. And the ones that are wrapped tonight are just the ones that go to extenuating family and friends. In fact, I believe Taylor has several little gifts under our tree. Oh, excellent. Yes. And you'll be happy to know that the Littlestuffington made sure that one of them was in a lime green box. Aw. I love that child. Yes. I don't because I like all my wrapping paper to match and be, you know, the right color. And she's like, we have to get lime green. I'm like, Oh God. Really? Nice. Which do we like more? Whites are coloreds. We like the whites. I know you like the colors, but I like the whites. Lights. I mean, lights. I mean. I enjoy the colors. Um, yeah, I, that was always a big thing with drum and I, or he always liked the white lights. And I was like, not only did I like the colored lights. But I should say multi colored lights. Tell me you don't like the really big ones. I love the big 70s ceramic looking. Oh God. I love them so much back in fashion though too. So yeah, but I like like shoulder pads. I like, um, I was colored Christmas lights before color Christmas lights were cool. I'll tell you something I do. I tell you, oh no, this is going to be the drag queen horn mate coming out. Do you know what I really, really love on a Christmas tree, but I cannot bring myself to put on my actual Christmas tree. Tinsel. Tinsel. I love it. I love it. And we always called it icicles. I don't know if it's just a northern thing or something, but they were never called tinsel. They were always called icicles. I, you don't see tinsel down here very much. You know, the little tiny shredded aluminum things that your cat would eat and then throw back up. Oh, which is really why I started not putting them on my trees because we have three cats and when, and the dog and I was afraid they were going to eat them and make it sick. But I absolutely love the way tinsel looks on a tree. I know that that's just so campy and white trash, but I love it. You see growing up, it was always, those are icicles and then tinsel was the strands of it like garland. Yes, that's garland to me and I don't put garland on my tree either. Yeah. Of course they would require me to have a mile and a half a garland for this tree. Now, wait, how tall is that tree? 18 foot. Okay. Because I saw one the other day, except for some reason I thought you said it was nine feet and I saw one at Sam's the other day that was 12 feet and I'm like, Oh, no size cool. No, this is a bigger tree. You know, this tree is huge. Oh my God, that tree is huge. It's a big tree, but it works. So well, the only thing that I remember, I mean, we had tinsel growing up and I also remember that we had my great grandmother's German Christmas ornaments and they were pretty much the ones that were shaped, you know, like the circle with the hole in the middle where you could actually get it. Oh, yeah. It was super, super, super fragile. Yeah, we had that we had the tree downstairs that we had all under the presents under that had all the cheap, you know, 19, the one you had made in kindergarten and no, no, no, no, it had all the ones that were the balls that had all of the string that went around the ball. Oh, yes. They sort of like pull it apart so it looked like little vaginas on the actually. Oh, no, okay, and then we had that was our tree downstairs where we had all of the Christmas presents under that way in case if things got knocked and stuff, you don't have to worry about it. We had our room because many people have rooms up north that, you know, you're not allowed to sit in. Oh, yeah. That is where we had our fancy tree that had all of my grandmother's things and we also had all the different ornaments that we made growing up as kids. Well, they were pretty much all the basic ornaments and then there was also the one Santa Claus ornament and every year my sister and I would get into a huge fight over who got to hang the Santa Claus ornament and while we would argue, my mother would pick it up and put it on the tree herself. Nice. Yeah. That's awesome. And who got all of the ornaments? My sister did in her big house with the wraparamp and I and the yellow lab and the two kids and the husband and the, yeah. Why am I going up there again? But you have us. Isn't that a trade off? You have us. Exactly. Not really. Oh, wow. Now, did your family, did your family ever hide the pickle and don't make a gross joke. Hide the pickle. Yes. Show me on the doll where the bad man touched you. No, I had never heard of the pickle tradition either. And when we lived in Germany, that was a big thing over there and I came back here with a pickle thinking I was going to like, you know, have some new fangold thing. Yeah, they sell me targets. No big deal. Yes. They, you hide a pickle on your tree and then they're usually in like a pickle shaped ornament and then the first kid that finds it gets a special gift and that doesn't mean a special gift from daddy either. You smell it. Oh boy. Oh, that helps me out so much because we did the special data. We did these like decorated tree thing and clear water and we did a tree and we did a pickle themed tree one year and I didn't understand why and how we could make pickled ornaments and shit. Yes. Well, the pickle ornament is a very big deal. And shit. You hung shit on the tree. Well, it's a fantastic Christmas. Now, we had, we had, we had, we hide the pickle around the Huffington house. I bet you do. And we have little ornaments that have pictures all over my tree of through the years, the kids and different things and Taylor was added this year. After seven years, I figured he needed to have his picture on the tree somewhere. That is so sweet. We even have, we even have a rhinestone. Cowboy? For him. Yes. Exactly. Like a rhinestone cow, boy. No, singing in this episode. Yeah, right. We have, we have his initial in rhinestones as one of the ornaments too. So he's, he's just a stocking away from moving in. Wow. Nice. And I'm sure the Huffington estate could support the Taylor. We have a tradition, another speaking of stockings. Every year when I was growing up, we, in our stocking, we would get all sorts of just crap. But one thing that we always got was a packet of, not a packet, but like a five pack of chewing gum. The year that I got my car, my first car when I was 17, the only question that I had was where's the gum. My parents have been all this money in a car for me and I was more upset. You know, I was upset that I didn't have a gum in my stocking. That's my spalliums. Yeah, that does my volumes. And then so my mom went back to the tradition and then the last couple of years I didn't have a gum in my stocking. We had a holiday party this week, our last week where each of us got to roast another member of the staff. Things in the course of this roast, the person who had me, gave me gum because I told her about it. I started crying. Aw, I think that's right. But did she give it to you in a stocking? No, no, but she, she had a bag of stuff and she pulled it out of the bag in front of everybody. Aw, that's cute. So yeah, so that was very, you know, and she's all the time joking that I'm a robot because I don't ever show emotion when everybody else is crying. Uh-huh. Yeah. But so she just kind of, she said, "Yeah, I got you," and she did, she got me. See in our, in the Huffington House, the only thing the stockings ever have is just tons and tons of like all the really good candy. You know, there's ribbon candy and then there's the, there's taffy, of course, and all the Ghira deli chocolates and then all the Gadaiva chocolates and all the lint and all the really yummy, yummy things that, and there's gingerbread cookies and that's all that's ever in the stockings. It's very rare. It's in a mad magazine. Oh, that's good. Mad magazine or crack to magazines, which I don't think they make anymore, but it was always sort of one of those satire kind of things that I always, I always got those in my stocking when I was a kid. Well, I might have to incorporate that this year. That's a good idea. I could put like, you know, the whole teen vogue and some, I can find some magazine that has the Jonas Brothers on it and slap it into the little huffing because that's a cute idea actually. Yeah. But the purpose of stockings were you are allowed to open your stocking when you got up and that kind of kept them somewhat entertained before they came awoke tanking eye up because the little huffing would wake up. I don't sleep at all anyways, but the little huffing I swear to God at 420, she would be up 425. At 420. So she was smoking. She was smoking pot. That's right. That's right. I'm smoking a doobie. Mom, come on. Santa's been here. And she's four. Yeah. Mommy, you got me that Bob Marley album. What's the best present you ever got as a child or as an adult? My best Christmas present, the Christmas present as a child that sticks out in my head the most is my green grandmom and grandpa because I had green grandmom and grandpa and red grandmom and grandpa. Of course you did. Well, because they lived next door to one another and my mom's parents lived in a greenhouse and drove a green car. And my dad's parents had lived in a red house and my grandmother had red hair. So it was when you were going to see grandmom and grandpa, which ones are we going to see? It was green grandmom and grandpa or red grandmom and grandpa. Anyway, my green grandmom and grandpa got me my first camera. Oh, that's cool. I remember. And that was like the first big boy present that I got. And that was, it was one of those 110 cameras, like the ones that had the weird film that you sort of had to crank the little pump film. Like the disc? No, it was before the disc. My sister got the first disc, disc man or whatever you want to call it, camera. But I had the one that was, I don't know how to describe it. I could probably find a picture of it, I'm posted on the blog. Yeah, the 110 film. Yeah, the 110 film, so. And I got that probably when I was nine or 10. And I also remember getting the last toys that I got from my parents were when I was 13. You don't get toys anymore. And I got a Masters of the Universe, like the last stuff of the humanity, the Masters of the Universe stuff. I got like two action figures. And I remember thinking, I think I'm a little too old for this now. I didn't say that's my family, but I remember thinking that. And that was the last time I got toys. Now I get all electronic stuff and like movies and DVDs, but that was the last time I remember that. How about you guys? What was your favorite presence? I think, I'm just trying to think through this, but the last time, I think the best present I ever got was one Christmas dress went like the Janet St. Genesis and stuff came out. I got a thermographic 16 and a 13 inch TV and it was kind of, it was the first time I'd really gotten a big present for Christmas, whereas, you know, because I had three younger brothers, it was always kind of, you know, they kind of had to spread the wealth. It was not like the first time that I got something that was really, really what I wanted and exactly what I wanted. So I think that was my best, my favorite. Taffy. Well, I'm an only child. So I got, really that shocking. I got tons of stuff that I never ever really needed or wanted. I know that sounds really fratty, but there was always like the one thing that you wanted every year and that you didn't get and you would go, but I didn't want all this stuff. I wanted that. I know that sounds horrible. I remember the first year that I got exactly what I asked for. I was in sixth grade and I got a Natari. Oh God. I can remember actually opening up the paper and the black box with the symbol of a Tari was on it. And I remember just having this, you know, the ugly cry as Oprah calls it. I can just remember seeing their sobbing because I had gotten the Atari. Now, you have to understand, I am like the biggest, I know nothing about gaming anything until the week came along. So that was a 22 years, 25 years later. I thought Atari was the greatest thing ever. I can remember playing pitfall. Oh, yeah. Yes. I love, I absolutely loved it. As an adult, I can't, I have gotten really good Christmas gifts. So I could, got to choose one would be almost virtually impossible. I don't know. Yeah, see, now I remember getting like, you know, always wanting like transformers or, you know, like cool toys and I'd always get like go bots or worse. Yeah. You know, like you'd want to GI Joe and you'd get those stupid corpse, um, like Marine corpse, uh, that you met like dead bodies. I was like, no, they're like the generic GI Joe's. So I'm getting that a lot of that. And I never wanted Barbies. I always wanted, and no one has ever heard of them. So listeners, if any of you have ever heard of them, please email me and tell me. So I know I'm not just crazy. They were called Darcy dolls, darcy's. I know what you're talking about, but they always had like, they were a little bigger than Barbie doll. They could never wear Barbie dolls close, but they were all, they were like the, they would have been the brat dolls of, you know, the 70s and early 80s, because they were very fashion forward and, and they had the coolest clothes and all the other stuff. And I love Darcy dolls and I always got Barbie dolls always. And I remember making a Barbie doll house once because the Barbie doll house they sold then had the string that you could pull in the back that would raise the elevator. And I remember making a Barbie doll house with shoe boxes that had an elevator box out of a shoe box. I thought that was the coolest thing ever. I remember getting the death star for Star Wars. You got the death star with the elevator in it and everything. Yeah. I hate you. All of a sudden that just popped in my head. That could be the tequila, but that doll was in my head where I was like, Oh, the death star. I remember having that. Um, what are. You know, what is that? Wait, hold on. What is on your Christmas list for this year? If you could have like your quintessential Christmas gift this year besides a man, what would it be? Um, a man. Yeah, right? Come on now. Luke is busy. Let it go. I didn't say Luke. I just said a man. That's all man will do. Um, that's touching. I'm a sentimental gal around the hallways. What can I say? Um, I would love a Mac book. Uh, I would love a 32 inch waist. I would love, um, what else would I like? I don't know. I would just like, I would just like to be, you know, beloved by all who meet you. That'd be nice too. Rodan. Um, I think, well, besides a 42 inch TV for my living room, um, I think, oh yeah, I want one of those two. Yeah. I think I would go with like personal training. That'd be a good gift for me. That's a good one. Personal trainer. Yeah. That is a good one. That or a body lift. I'm not really sure which. Oh God. Oh my God. Lord, you know, I went out last night and I realized we're talking about the holiday stuff, but baby got some back fat, uh, and Taffy, what would you like on your, what's on your list? That's lovely. Rodan's back fat. That's on my list. So honestly, I am the sap at Christmas. The only thing I want at Christmas is I want the babies to be in the house. I went tank to be in the house tonight. We had a fire going. We had wrapped gifts all day. I made peanut butter fudge and a bunch of other stuff that I really shouldn't have made. And we all laid on the couch with blankets all over us because it's like the first quasi cold night here in, you know, the hell that we call Florida. And we watched the Santa Claus. To me, Christmas doesn't get any better than that. That's it. Yeah. So you took away that option for us since we're not already involved. So you made us sound like, you know, big commercial hacks. Wow. I'm sorry. Oh, you mean commercially? What do I want? I want new kitchen cabinets, new marble countertops. I want to Volvo XC 90. I want the Mac, big giant screen integrated with all the computer crap shoved into it. I can go on lit for days with the material stuff that I desperately want to happen. Did you all have Santa Claus use to come visit you on the fire truck through your neighborhood? Yeah. OK. Ours was a horse John, like, carriage, because we lived in it. We lived in a village. Yes, I know. The village of, well, you're going to say where you live. Saint Olaf. Saint Olaf. Saint Olaf. And he would come by way of horse John carriage. Well, we had-- we used to have the fire trucks that would come, and you could hear it from-- it was always on the 23rd of December, and you could hear them from far away, and that we would sort of sit, and we-- my mom would usually make ink cookies about that time, and you would hear the-- you know, you would hear them get closer and closer, and eventually you would go outside, and he would come down the street, and it was super, super loud, and he would throw candy canes. Well, the last year that we were in-- and my sister always loved that. I was always one of my sister's favorite things. The last year that they had done that, my sister was 17, and on the track team. Oh, God. Did she chase them down? And she comes barreling out of the house, like, in her tight t-shirt, in her standard jogging pants, jumping up and down. Nice. She must have gotten about five pounds of candy canes. Exactly. Like, she was being just totally all in a set, like, Santa, Santa, and all of these, like, horny old firemen were throwing candy canes at her. Nice. Her cherished holiday memory from Taylor the last day, boy. I can remember the best Santa Claus was-- you know, there was always-- you could always see the Santa Claus as like, you know, the local malls and stuff, but the best one was at the Lazarus, at the Dayton Mall. Oh, God. They always had the big, giant chair, and the whole set up and everything, very reminiscent of a Christmas story, and that was the-- that was when you knew. That was the true Santa. You know. You'd wait. You'd save it. The actual fancy dress, and you'd get to go, and you'd sit on Santa's lap and have your picture taken, but that was the real Santa, the one at Lazarus. I don't remember going to see Santa a couple-- I don't remember going past the age of five, maybe. Are you being serious? Yeah. Yeah. Same with us. I mean, we stopped. I was very, very young. I mean, my brothers were younger, so they went and sat on Santa's lap, and I just watched. Yeah. Lollipop's 15, and I made her and her boyfriend go sit on Santa's lap and get a picture for me. They didn't have any option. Yeah. Yeah. When you can actually straddle Santa and lean back and be upside down, it's time-- it's time to-- Let me slide down your candy cane pole. It's time to start putting some traditions away. Is that the North Pole? Oh, Lord and Lord and we are along. What is your-- actually, should we start with favorite or least favorite? No, let's start with favorite, and then-- because least favorite is always more fun to talk about. Favorite Christmas carols? My favorite Christmas carol is probably-- I'll be home for Christmas. That's a good one. Either that one or-- now, are you talking about classic carols or like modern day ones or just in general? Whatever. Yeah, I'd say that one. Rodan? Hmm. I don't know. I'm going to go with-- I don't know, probably just simple jingle bells. I'm a big fan of the do you know-- or do you hear what I hear too? I like that sound too. Oh, yeah. Every time I hear that, now I think of Whitney Houston. So that doesn't necessarily do it for me. I think of Will Aminus later. I don't know. Her version-- but that's the Williams version of that. It's great. What's your favorite? My-- I have two favorite. Have yourself a merry little Christmas is one of my favorites. And the Christmas song, Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, that's probably my only all time favorite. And one of my all time favorite Christmas songs is The Old Anxiety Song by Dan Fogarty and he just died. Yeah. Yeah, I was going to talk about that. I was going to talk about that a lot. That makes me very sad because I love that song that and leader of the band. Ugh. Makes me very sad. It's what's your least favorite. I certainly know my least favorite. I definitely know my least favorite. What's your least favorite? Mine? Yeah. The Happy Elf Song by Harry Chronic Jr. I want to kill myself every time it comes on the fucking radio. Oh, well. I love it. You'll try readings from Pot as my co-firelight. Yeah, right. I've never heard that song. Thank God every day that you've never heard it because let me tell you something. He just says Happy Elf about 200 times in a three minute song. Right. Other than that, I would say Mariah Carey. All I want for Christmas is you. Oh, I like that song. Oh. Follow me closely behind by This Christmas by Wham. And I love the Wham, but that song is annoying. Oh. Rodan. Oh, this Christmas, that's Bad One. Yeah, that's Bad. Grandma got run over by a reindeer. Yeah. See, I don't even consider that a real song. No. That and that stupid Christmas shoes, my mom needs Christmas shoes to go meet Jesus. Okay, thank you. Oh, yeah. That, whoever wrote that song needs to be punched in the ovaries because that is... You know why? You know why? Because there's people who have enough reasons at Christmas to be sad. Why do a schmaltz inducing here? You don't have reasons enough to be sad. Listen to this. Oh, and they love that song at the hospice. They love... I'm sure they do. They're like, you know, all of them with their Christmas sweaters and their fantastic Sam's haircuts. Yeah. They love the crush. She's the number four. It's a special event. Give me the number seven. Yeah. My least favorite of all time Christmas carol would have to be Silver Bells. I love that song. Silver Bells? Yeah, I was always going to say... Reminds me of Cheesy, Schmaltzy, 1970s, Bob Hope, Variety, Christmas specials. Which keep in mind, I normally love shit like that. I love that song. I love that song. But there's something about that song. It just sounds... It just seems very like not even like the good 70s stuff. It's just like the... I just... I don't care for it at all. No, see, I like Silver Bells just because I had a solo in a Christmas fire thing when I was like in fifth grade. I'll tell you another song I absolutely love. It was Ray Charles when he sings What a Wonderful Christmas from the greatest Christmas movie of all time, which would be, of course, Christmas vacation. Oh god, that song kills me. Every time he's sitting in the attic and he's watching the home videos, oh, that is agony to me. But that's why it's all so fabulous. That is my brother-in-law loves the Christmas vacation. We will probably watch Christmas vacation on Christmas Day. That's a... His family, that seems to be a tradition. Whereas I could sit and watch a Christmas story the whole 24 hours on TNT. I could sit in 24 hours. It's on a continuous loop in our house on Christmas. Yeah. But no, Christmas vacation is probably, oh god, it's got to be one of my top three. I want you to write a theme. It was soap. It was. It was. So poisoning. Whoa! That is the greatest movie ever. Oh, Lordy. No, do you guys have a favorite version of a Christmas carol? There are like one billion versions. Like Jingle Bells, Batman Smells, Robin Lead and Egg sort of version. No, no. Like a Christmas carol. Like... Like Ebenezer Scrooge? Oh, yeah. I know what you're going to say. Oh, maybe not. You're going to say, you're going to say Adiva's Christmas carol is your favorite one on BH1. Oh, yeah. That's what I was going to say. Faggot! With a close tie to a Scrooge. Scrooge, I was going to say Scrooge is my favorite, absolutely. Because cross definition a thing they hang people from. I think I probably peed my pants when I saw that movie and read that the first time. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen that movie. I've seen that movie, but I don't think I've ever ever sat like from beginning to end and watched it. Bill Murray is fantastic. It's a little wrong that my, the being in that movie Bill Murray before he goes through the three ghosts is pretty much my idol for what I want to be in terms of corporate leader shit. Wow. That's a lovely sentiment. What is your favorite Christmas movie? A Christmas story. Is my favorite Christmas movie. Okay. Do you have like a top three Christmas movies? Mmm. Do you have one that, do you have one that makes you homesick and it makes you all warm and fuzzy, but it makes you homesick? A Christmas story. Oh, well, that's, that's just the all around. It gets you everywhere. It just, yeah, because it reminds me of just, you know, because it's cold and, you know, in the movie, obviously, because it's Christmas and there's snow and all the old houses and all that sort of stuff. It reminds me of where I grew up. So that would be, that would be, um, what? Yeah. Okay. Wow. I'm starting to slur my words a little bit. Good Lord. Well, mine, I don't know the name of it, but I just remember the song that I'm Mr. Heat Meiser. I'm Mr. Stone. Oh, all the rank and best stuff. Yeah. Yes. I love those. Well, that's not a movie. Those are more like just TV specials. Like, come on. And the family stone, the Charlie Baron Christmas. That's the one. I have that on DVD and that one, what I was sitting and watching it because it just, it just kills me. Yeah. See, I like a little bit of cheesy. The, the, like the Yogi Bear Christmas special, like that one, which is a bad, it's very bad. Christmas special. Are you fucking kidding me? No. I almost bought it today. Oh my God. Oh, the Power Ranger Christmas special. Go back, what is everybody's favorite thing about Christmas? Let's, let's put, let's put a bow on this bitch and it is everybody's. Wow. Wait, I had one more question, but that's fine. We'll pass it. It'll skip. I was certainly never know. What's the question? What is your favorite guilty pleasure Christmas food? All of it. You don't have one thing that you look forward to every year that you get to eat at Christmas. You never get to eat at the rest of the year. Well, okay. The thing that I look forward to the most was something that drum used to make when I would have Christmas as a drum and that was the foolproof standing rib roast. There was a, there was a Paula Deen thing and it was, you know, it was awesome. I guess we, I guess technically I guess I could have it again. It's super easy to make. It's foolproof as the, you know, title says, but there was, you know, it was just. You put the little white feet around the ends of it, or is it a crown roast or no? No. Standing crown. Okay. No. It was just a big slap me. Just like drum himself. And chocolate. Okay. You said that. I didn't. What is that loving? My mom's chocolate chip cookies, which are just your basic run of the mill, Nestle tall house cookies, but there's something, something about when a mom makes them that it, you know, they taste a little bit better because they're made with love. Yeah. And there's something to be said of even that standard recipe when someone knows when they take one of the oven at the right time. Yeah. That's true because, you know, in times past when other people have made them, sometimes they're burned. Yeah. Like my mom's. She never, she never managed to make them not into discs. Well, tank only makes Buckeyes once a year. And there are these little lovely balls of chocolate and confectioner's sugar. I mean, peanut butter and confectioner's sugar that are dipped in chocolate, dark chocolate. And then they look just like a Buckeye, which is the net that grows on the tree in Ohio. Hello, Buckeyes. And he only makes them once a year and oh my God, they are fantastic. I don't even like peanut butter all that much. They're just so, so delicious. How are you going to do those? Oh, I will. I will only have like one or two, but my guilty pleasure this year is going to be on Christmas morning. I'm having biscuits and gravy. I have not had any bread product of any kind since June 1st. I cannot wait. I'm accounting. Yeah. Just wait to your stomach's reaction. I was going to say. Oh, I know. Believe me. That's a toilet. Exactly. I'm allowing myself one biscuit and one half cup of gravy and I'm going to lick the plate. I cannot wait. So I would say mine is a fudge. I generally make fudge when I go home and it's, I know my family really likes it and it's the only time I ever ever really eat that. So do you make chocolate or peanut butter fudge? Both and sometimes butter scotch. I made peanut butter fudge today. It's the first time I'd ever made it. It was delicious. So I will have to, I'll have to send you a little care package. Yes. That would be nice. A Christmas care package. I would be very nice to do that. Would be lovely. So what was your last question? I'm sorry. My last question was what is your favorite thing about Christmas? Rodan. Well, I think just spending time with my family since I don't get to do that very often. Being able to just see them and hang out with them and kind of catch up. That's cool. Taffy. That's because you like your family though. Well, I don't get to see my family more often so that I wouldn't like them. That's why you like them. You don't like them. Yeah. Well, but that's good. I would say mine, mine is the absolute two to three weeks leading up to Christmas where it's all the traditions that you usually do when you make gingerbread houses and bake and bake and bake and wrap gifts and buy gifts and watch the movies. It's all the prep leading up to it is my favorite part because Christmas day is usually so crazy that it's gone instantly and you don't really, you don't really have it. But leading up to it and the anticipation of it and everything, that is probably my favorite. And actually, that's one of my favorite parts too. Another favorite part is there's always at least since I've been an adult, there's always been some part of the day in which I've been, this is probably going to speak volumes. But there's always some part of the day in which I'm usually driving someplace and nine times out of ten, I mean they're buying myself for everybody's very quiet in the car and there's Christmas carols on the radio and it's just sort of that finally decompressing and sitting and taking it all in as far as the okay, this is what's happened and all that sort of stuff. And that's always been kind of one of my favorite parts of, that's always been sort of one of my favorite parts of the day, which is weird I know, but it's, I just- No, but I think that's, but you know what, I think that that's how as an adult you go through life, honestly, is because you wait for the one moment in the week or the day or whatever, when everyone is, where they're supposed to be and everyone is safe and you know that they're quasi-healthy and everything is calm. Quasnye-healthy. You know what I mean, somebody always has something wrong. Physically, mentally, because it is our families, that's completely different, but- But you know, you wait for that, that window of opportunity when everything is, everyone's where they're supposed to be and everyone is safe and everyone is healthy and everyone sometimes are together and everyone takes a deep breath and it's just kind of- And you can finally do that. Yeah. Good noise. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, let's wrap this up, shall we? As always, you can go to our blog which is potismicopilot.com.
