Didn't speak a single word with each other's language.

I prefer more of the Shakespearean love where they actually communicate and there's some romantic interaction.

He's an advocate for communication. He wouldn't romance if it smacked him square in the face. So that's the problem.

Let me tell you, if love actually is about romance, I do not understand romance. Some of the storylines are.

Welcome back to New Heights, ladies and gentlemen, a WNDRI Show, produced by Wave Sports and Entertainment and brought to you by our friends at Monopoly Go. Oh. This holiday season creates some memories by playing together, enjoying some friendly competition, and getting the gift of sweet revenge. I love it. We are your host. I'm Travis Kelsey, my big brother Jason Kelsey, and my sister-in-law, Kylie Kelsey, has decided to join us for this very, very special episode. Subscribe on YouTube, WNDRI wherever you get to podcast, follow the show on all social media @New Heights Show with 1-S. Jason, this is your time to tell everyone what we're doing here.

What we're doing? Yeah, well, we got an outstanding New Heights episode where we're going to be diving into the New Heights Film Club, but not just one film. That's right. Oh, yeah. For a little present for your holiday, we're going to be giving you a double dose of film reviews, Love, Actually, and Christmas Vacation.

Double down.

The double deuce. Without further ado, let's get into a little bit of new news. I don't know if you guys have seen, but my wife, Kylie, has a number one podcast in the world right now. Number one. Number one. Well, on Apple. Apple podcast. We should stipulate. Apple podcast, number one podcast. How's it been? Any easier or harder than we... I don't think we gave her any advice.

No, she didn't ask me for it. You didn't.

Yeah, she didn't ask me either.

She was like, What do I need advice for.

Clearly, she chose right.

I would love advice from you guys on what not to do.

Yeah, there you go. We'll get a good team that edits well.

Well, how's it going, Ky?

It's going great. I've gotten to have some really great conversations with incredible people. I mean, talking to myself is a little weird, but-I was about to ask, how's the one-man show or one-woman show? Queen Emma is writing rundowns that really make it go easy.

Nice. Nice Yeah.

Shout out to Emma. It's interesting talking to your sofa that much.

You don't have an intern doing it for you?

What's that?

You're actually paying somebody? We have interns do that stuff for us.

No, you have an executive producer.

Yeah, we have volunteers that just come in.

We don't pay people like that. No.

We don't.

Yeah, we actually-Sorry, Brandon.

We need to fix that.

Interns only.

They both take us in.

That's how you run a business. That's how a '90s business is ran.

That's how you sell a $100 million podcast right there. Interns, baby. Jesus Christ. Take advantage of that somewhat.

How is it this short end of the show and already off the rails?

No, this is This is the rails. What are you talking about? We're right here. We're right in this movie.

We're on the rails, going high speeds.

We're on the new heights rails.

Is that what it is?

Headed straight for Christmas review town.

Hit me with it.

Why did you make us review this movie before we get into it?

Yeah, Tell us about your love for Love, Love, Love, Lee.

Love, actually, is one of my favorite movies, period. Outside of, not just holiday movies.

One of your favorite movies? Yes. Up there with Shoshank Redemption.

You said that it It was a joke, but I love that movie, too. He started listening like he was going to be like...

The joke isn't that Shawshank is up there. That's not the joke. I think that's pretty routinely up there with best movie.

Jason, you might be the oddball out here. I actually enjoyed Love, actually.

It's not...

You don't have to say that, Travis.

No, I will concede. I will concede. It's not an unenjoyable movie to watch. My issue is the Christmas aspect of it, and then Just the overall... We're going to get into it, but the overall sentiment and lessons and overall values that it expounds are absolutely horrendous. But we'll dive into that.

This is going to be a fun one.

I really do love the movie.

Are we going to the movie now? What are we going to do?

I can't wait for him to sit here and shit on it for the next 10 minutes.

We might as well dive into it. But first, this episode will be released on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas, everyone. If Santa's listening.

Yes, If Santa's listening- Happy Hanica, if that's what you- Is there anything you want to ask for?

When is Hanica this year? Is Hanica right now?

It's the same time as Christmas, actually.

Not all the time, though.

No, this year it is, though. It lines up perfectly with Christmas. There you go.

Which night?

I believe on Christmas Eve, Hanica starts. Does someone want to fact check me on that? Starts.

I thought it was- Jetsch Jake, are you here?

Brandon Type.

Jetsch Jake, I heard is on a honeymoon.

Oh, I'm sorry. It starts on Christmas Day.

Starts on Christmas. Nice. Happy Hanukah to all of our Jewish friends. I think best Hanukah movies, 8 Crazy Nights. We don't even need to debate that one, right?

All right. Well, happy Hanukah, everybody. Do you guys have anything on the Christmas list that you want to share?

Christmas list that we want is presents? Yeah.

Is there anything you want to ask Santa for, Jason?

If I was going to ask Santa for anything, it would be for better time management skills.

Oh, he wants skills.

Yeah.

Nice. Kylie, get him one of those old-school Palm pilots. Well, no, I don't think- Or you can- Unless it can make all of my decisions for me, I don't think it's going to help. Okay. All right. More time management. Okay.

I need Santa to work his magic, not in the physical realm, but in the mental realm.

A man wants Santa to work his magic on him.

We want to respect your podcast A podcasting rule of no episodes over 45 minutes, but that's not the way we do things. But we will set a Timer so that you know how much you've gone over that time.

Fuck your rules.

You're on the New Heights podcast. I'm not going to lie, this is going to take way more than 45 minutes.

No way. Well, that's how long we have.

Brandon will start this Timer.

We're off and running. We're rolling. Okay, we're going to start to try and summarize the plot of this movie in a little two-minute drill. Two-minute drill It is brought to you by Amex. Don't leave home without it. Kylie, please give us the plot of Love, Actually, since you made us watch it.

Good luck.

Ready, set, go.

Why is it that I made you watch it?

Listen, I didn't make the rules here.

You're 10 seconds in and you haven't gotten. You got 50 seconds. You got a minute 50 left.

I don't think I need that much time. It is a collection of stories-Yes.associated with a number of families. I don't know how many because that's not really important.

I think it's nine.

Is it really nine?

I think it is nine.

They are all connected to each other in some way, whether it's by marriage, sibling, friend. It's different people experiencing different family things during the holidays. You have the Prime Minister, you have porn star stand-ins.

You have-I don't think that was a porn.

I think that was a-Are you joking right now?

Are you kidding me?

When in porn, they actually have sex. They were just I don't like they were having sex.

No, they were the lighting crew. They were like to get the lighting right, which I didn't know. I didn't even think that-I didn't see that.

I thought they were like the... Okay, that makes sense.

My goodness. You have a man who is recently widowed and he's navigating his relationship with his son. You just have all of these things that are connected by one degree of separation, each of them. There's good, there's bad. It ends in a beautiful Christmas pageant with one of the best renditions of Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas is You.

It's more amateurish if you ask me.

I thought it was. It was a child that sang it. Thank you. Exactly.

Jordan Maloney killed it.

The build-up to it was outstanding. Yeah, I think it's lovely. It could be my ADHD that makes me like this movie so much because it's a bunch of small stories in one big movie and it pops around a lot. That's helpful for me.

You actually did that in two minutes, which is pretty... I mean, this is why your podcast is number one. You're very punctual. That was the two-minute drill brought to you by Amex. Let's keep this thing moving.

Okay, so let's be honest. I'm going to be brutally honest. Love actually might be the worst Christmas movie I've ever seen. I don't even know that it's up for debate.

I didn't feel Christmas at all during the movie.

There was zero Christmas spirit or anything resembled I enjoyed the movie. It was okay.

It was okay. I just didn't understand how much it really tied into Christmas.

Not only is it not tied into Christmas, the worst family value. It was like the worst family values of all time tied into Christmas. It was like bad people.

A guy went to get a necklace for his-The secretary or whatever that woman was in this.

Let's just go story by story. Let's go story by story. The one guy is voyeering his best friend's wife and only recording her- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, When she's like, I'm disgusting.

I'm sick. I can't go.

Okay, so we want to start with that storyline. That's the first story. For those of you that don't know, the first storyline is a guy leaves the house. His wife is like, Hey, I'm a little sick. I'm not going to go with you. And I knew it right away.

He called it the minute he... The minute he left.

The minute he left. The minute he left the house. She's going to be fucking somebody when he gets back. Obvious, right? It's not even like it's remotely creative of a movie. Super obvious that she's going to come back in.

She's going to be with somebody. It wasn't obvious in the '90s.

Well, it also wasn't obvious that it was going to be his fucking brother. Did you know that?

No.

Yeah. She's fucking his brother.

Yeah.

Merry Christmas, everyone. This is such a nice... Then he leaves her and decides to go to... Where was he at? He went to France, right?

Somewhere.

Italy or France or someplace. He has this Portuguese woman who's waiting- I think he just went to the countryside, wherever.

His housekeeper that he hires is Portuguese or speaks Portuguese.

The housekeeper that he's given speaks Portuguese from this other woman, which they don't get into if she was human trafficked or how she got there. They don't go into that. Jesus Christ, Jason. But we do know that these people fall in love with each other without being able to talk. What the fuck are we talking about?

They never spoke a word. You ever watch Love is Blind?

I do not watch Love is Blind. No.

This was Love is Mute.

It was Love is Mute. It was a great life lesson. It was a great life lesson into how much you can fall in love with somebody without actually being able to communicate with them. It was terribly unbelievable. But they-Not even... They're in the water and they're saying the same thing. They're saying the same thing. I'm like, Look, they're saying the same thing. All I'm in my head is like, This is complete nonsense. This is just complete ridiculousness. There's nothing sweet about this. They're acting like-There's nothing sweet about the fact that they were saying the exact same thing but didn't speak a single word. I prefer more of the Shakespearean love where they actually communicate and there's some romantic interaction as opposed to- You want to talk about communicate?

Hey. He's an advocate for communication. You want to talk about romance? That's where we- I'm realizing that is the problem here.

It hit home too much for him?

No, that he actually doesn't... He wouldn't know romance if it smacked him square in the face. That's the problem.

Let me tell you, if love actually is about romance, I do not understand romance.

Some of the storylines are. There might have been one storyline, and then- There was one storyline in the whole movie that was good. Which one was it?

Liam Neeson and his son Sam That was by far... That was a great storyline. It was fantastic. He couldn't hit the nail on the head.

We got to get that kid a scholarship. We got to get a football in his hand. We got to get him catching the ball. That motherfucker was running through the airport dodging cats like he was Pat Mahomes in the fourth quarter. He was just out there.

The cuteest thing about watching was that Ellie was watching at the end of the movie and got blushed on the cheeks.

She was feeling her, some of a sound.

Was so excited. And then the next day, she told me, Mom, that cute boy that played the drums. Will you show me a picture of him?

Nice.

Then I had to Google Sam from Love, actually. And she was giggling. It was very cute.

Well, why it was giggling, too?

Yeah, but why it loves every boy that comes up on this.

Anybody that kiss is, Oh, my gosh.

That's adorable.

That's the one redeemable story.

No, they only saw the end. They almost saw the boobs, but I I turned Jason. He sped it up.

All right. That's the one redeemable story.

Okay. I will say the one storyline that really does not sit right with me is the best friend and Keira Knightley.

Oh, you're talking about the cards? The Cards? Yeah. Oh, The Cards? That's the iconic way to do it. That's the most romantic way to tell someone you're in love with them, right? The cards, play music and- Steal your best friend.

While your best friend, her husband, is inside sitting on the couch, tell him it's carolers. What's crazy is that...

Yeah, exactly. No. What's crazy is that, like you said, all these stories tie together in one community, and it's supposed to make it look like this is what happens in a community. These are all the different love stories and all the dead. This is what's going on around you.

It's horrendous.

It's terrifying because there's so much scandal in it. Everyone's like, You got a guy buying a necklace for another woman?

Yeah, she's a hoe.

Jesus.

Sorry, that was aggressive.

It was aggressive, but deserving, if you're going to do that.

I just didn't like how she- I don't know why anybody's mad at her.

The husband's the guy that freaking- Yeah, the husband's the worst. It's never made sense to me when- No, the husband is horrible, but she's the one who is sitting at her desk and splits her legs while she's standing in front of him to be like, Hey, this Christmas party is about to be off the hook.

Is she married? The Is she married? I don't recall her- This is what I will say.

The wife- Is she married? I don't recall her- Is her dancing with him in front of his- I don't recall her announcing her devotion.

This is what I will say. This is what I will say.

I see from both sides.

The wife absolutely laying the gauntlet after the Christmas pageant and walking up to him and being like, Oh, do you want to explain to me what I'm supposed to do now? And called his ass on the carpet. Power to you, girl. Yes.

Power to her. At the end of the movie, they were still together. She didn't do anything.

How do you know they were still together. He was somewhere on a trip, and the only reason she was picking him up was because of the kids. She only allowed him to kiss her on the cheek. She didn't kiss him.

Either way, I don't know. Whatever. Horrible storyline. Let's have the boss cheating with the secretary.

Yeah, because that's so crazy.

It's not that it's crazy. It's just that we're expounding- I think the whole point is that they put together a collection of storylines surrounding the holidays because the holidays are sensationalized.

In, I think, adult life, you realize the holidays aren't as jolly and real life doesn't stop because the holidays, and it's also sensationalized I just think top to bottom, I see what you're saying that it didn't need to be a Christmas movie, but I think that's part of the point. I think that's why they're trying to drive the point home.

I think that they made it a Christmas movie Basically, because they know that by making it a Christmas movie, it would sell and become a tradition every single year.

I think you're just a hater.

I think that- This is so wild. It's terrible values.

Not all terrible values. Some good values in there. No.

One good story, maybe two.

The porn couple were very cute and very happy.

They were. They were very cute.

I don't remember- He was so distracted by the boobs. He couldn't even realize that they were having an actual conversation.

They weren't a legitimate storyline that was happening that much. But yes.

Also, how about... What's his name? Colin. Colin, God of Sex.

That was a good one. He comes to the United States.

You're talking about the guy in the Wisconsin dream. Living the American dream?

Yeah, I just love that it was Wisconsin.

Then he found those girls in Wisconsin. He definitely- He found some smoke shows in Wisconsin.

I will say this.

Made out like a thief.

They didn't go into this in the movie, but Colin clearly was talking to a prostitute. If you go up to a bar and a woman is that, she's dressed that way. All three of them, are you kidding me? She's dressed that way and talking that way. That's a prostitute. All right, I don't need to know anything more about this story. That didn't really happen to Colin.

Then he brought one home for his friend.

Yeah. That's love.

That's true love.

That is love, actually. That's love, actually.

That's Colin has some wealthy parents, and he can afford to be... I don't know that. She comes through the door and immediately just kiss the other guy? This whole thing is just so...

Love at first sight, Jason.Yeah. Love at first sight.

Or paid for love in the form of prostitution. That's what I got from that vibe.

I really do love the movie.

It's a fun one to watch. I was enjoying following along to all the stories. I also was with Jason on some of them. Like, this is a little far fetch.

Oh, no, a couple of them. I will say the moment The moment that Kira Knightley sits down and is trying to watch the wedding video, it does give you an uneasy feeling in your stomach. As a woman, if that were to happen to you where you sat down, you were like, Oh, my husband's best friend recorded this video. I'm going to watch it. And then it's all close-ups of your face and you're like, Are you about to kill me?

Yeah. Well, that's my thing. She wasn't like that, though. She was into it.

I don't think she was into it.

She was into it, and then she was into it when he came with the cars afterwards.

No, I think she felt bad for him.

No, she was into it. The whole thing was weird. I mean, it's stalker-type behavior. A thousand %.

Can't do it.

No.

Top to bottom, wrong. Can't do it. Don't want to promote that. That's not the storyline that gets the happy ending.

I agree.

Overall, rating it, are we doing the PFF grade? Is that what we're doing here?

We always do.

All right, PFF grade. Okay. Amount of Christmas. I mean, minimal Christmas. I mean, it's a lot of Christmas, but minimal actual Christmas theme. I'm going to go This is about to be bad. Four? I'll say four because there's Christmas stuff all over the place.

That's so much more generous than what I thought you were going to give it.

Yeah, I'm not going to... Listen, I'm realistic. I'm giving an honest review that is not swayed by any ulterior motive. This is an honest... That's what you can expect from Jason Kils.

That's what you're getting at. You put a stamp, put a guarantee on the box. What are you giving it, Ky?For.

The amount of Christmas?Yeah. Six.

Anywhere from four to six.

I won't I understand that these story lines could have been constructed outside of the holiday season. I can acknowledge that.

It's a four to six. That's why I'm giving it a three.

This had nothing to do with Christmas.

Both of you are just being generous That's not the one I'm going to be generous on.

Acting? I thought the acting was pretty good. I mean, for what it is, it's a rom-com.

Honestly, the acting, that's what I'm saying. I enjoyed the story lines and the acting, and it was fun.

It was a very good cast.

When you bring good kid acting in.

Also, the Prime Minister calling out the United States, if that isn't the biggest form of fucking political grandstanding that I have ever seen, fuck that guy. He didn't say shit to Billy Bob's face and then went up on the podium. I'm not doing shit. If I'm the US, I'm sticking it right up the Prime Minister of Britain's ass. We run the fucking show, not you, dickhead. We just had a whole fucking conversation in your office, and you're bringing this up one time, and then you're going to go out there and say that shit in the fucking media? Anyways, just had to get that off my chest.

He did. He flanked. Hugh Grant flanked. The Prime Minister flanked.

We're not going to talk about any of this in the office. I'm going to act like I'm your best buddy and then go out there and say, We're done being taken advantage of. Well, now, Britain's fucked because the US is on your side. So guess what? Good luck.

He wasn't talking. He was talking about the woman.

No, he was not. Oh, my God. He was still mad at the woman because he was about to fire No, he was not. That's all he was in his head. He fired her right afterwards, guys. I don't know what you guys have talked yourself into. He fired her, and then it took later in the movie.

He moved her from his personal office to alleviate temptation No, he liked the temptation.

He was in on it. That's why at the end, he came back around. He was like, Oh, my gosh, I've made a terrible mistake. That woman was being taken advantage of. Now I need her back.

He knew immediately that What the President was doing. I don't think he was in. Acting, I'm giving you a solid nine. I love the acting.

I can't give it a nine just because of the type of movie it is.

You're ridiculous.

Then you downscore the plot. You don't fuck with the acting. The acting, I will agree with Travis 9.

But I just think that the acting wasn't overly difficult. That's why I guess what I'm getting at.

You're so fun.

I'm just being honest. The rom-com type model isn't like this.

What?

This isn't like Shawshank-level type. No, this isn't. This isn't... What's the fucking one where Leonardo's out in the fucking wilderness for two hours with the grizzly bears, some whatever? What the fuck is that movie? Revenant. Revenant. This isn't that type of film. This would be like if the Chiefs played a high school team. How'd the Chiefs play? Well, they beat them by a thousand points, but it It's hard to tell if they're very... You know what I mean? I don't know what to tell you.

You're fucking ridiculous. Give it a score.

All right, seven. It's good acting, but I can't.

Directing. I thought the directing was up there. I thought to be able to put all these... I can't take Jason Sears right now. I thought the directing was cool. A lot of the shots were fun, the symmetrical. I thought the shots on the... Especially on the water, when all the papers and everything flew around. I thought that was sweet. I thought the slow-mo running through the airport fired me up for some reason.

I found it to be...I'll.

I'll give it a solid, Directing, solid 8.

Solid 8.

I'm going to say 9. I love this movie.

I'll say just very predictable. I think it's hardBut that's plot. Yeah, but it's plot, but also But also the way the scenes are shot and the choices that are made. It just felt very-What?

The wedding scene where everybody pops up with their own instrument?

That's first of all, again, that's plot. I'm just saying the way everything was shot was just very... There was nothing creative to it. I feel like anybody who went to film school could have directed this movie in the exact same way this guy did. So I'll go five.

You're such a grinch, man.

That's a great description.

Plot. Where we got plot?

Can I go negative?

No, you can't go negative. Oh, Jesus Christ. It's a one to 10.

One to 10? Yeah. So I can't go zero?

No.

One. It's fucked up. It's a horrendous.

The reality of it, Jason, is that there probably is a lot of this going on. As much as you want to act like this is not a good plot, this is something that could actually be going on.

I'm going eight. I think that it was a lovely collection. If it is- Again, the only reason I'm downscoring from higher is because I think that it didn't necessarily have to be a holiday movie.

Okay, I'll say this. If it is actually going on, it was directed and filmed in a way that was completely inappropriate. It was filmed in this uplifting like, Oh, look, she's out with the Q Cards guy, the best friend, trying to fuck his best friend's wife. All of it was done in this happy... There should have been much more dark tones and filmed in a way that expounded on these people being pieces of shit. That's fine. But the fact that all of it was celebrated is ridiculous. So maybe the plot isn't horrendous. Maybe I would like the plot if the director and the way it was shot accurately portrayed all these people as monsters.

I did feel like they were portraying everybody as everybody's good people. That being said, I'll give it a solid seven. I enjoyed the bouncing around. I thought the plot of the movie, how they were tying in all the stories, even though I wasn't agreeing with what everybody was doing, I thought it was very interesting. Character relatability. This is where it's tough. Can't relate to a lot of these situations.

Everybody can relate to Sam. He got your first crush. How do I... Do I have the courage to go up and ask the girl that I'm into out and sing to her?

Couldn't I don't really relate to anybody. I'm going to give it a nice solid three. Yeah. Outside of them all being European.

I just feel bad giving it any low score, but I don't know that there's a single plot where I'm like, I feel that. I'm going to go four.

I don't know how you don't love this adorable dog behind you.

She looks dead.

You see her?

Where are you going, Jason?

Sam's relatable. It's the only one and the dad. I think most dads are going to be put in that situation where they're trying to navigate their son's first love interest and Sam having to do that and nailing it. So I'm going to go... I'll go three as well.

Nice.

Because that was a very relatable scene. All the other ones, just no.

Thanks to our presenting sponsor, Monopoly Go. This holiday season creates some memories by playing together, enjoying some friendly competition, and giving the gift of sweet revenge. Jason, would you say you're the most competitive person in the family?

I don't know. I guess by answering the question, I don't know, I probably just answered it.

You're definitely the most competitive in these games, for sure.

I'm really competitive in things that people aren't supposed to be that competitive in.

Who would you want to challenge a Monopoly Go? Who do you know is good at it?

I would challenge Kylie. I like beating Kylie in stupid things.

Kylie is pretty good.

She's also... That's the other reason I would challenge her because she's a great competitor. She's a natural at everything.

When was the last time you played Monopoly Go?

Yesterday.

Nice. This guy's just knocking it out. I like Monopoly. Well, however you're celebrating, Monopoly Go brings everyone together for laughter, strategy, and maybe a little revenge, because what's family time without a little friendly competition?

Join your friends and download Monopoly Go today, free on the App Store or Google Play. Okay, Okay, now a moment brought to our friends at American Express. The holidays are here, and that means a lot of people will be taking the family out to dinner. Travis, what is your ideal holiday dinner?

I'm more of a holiday breakfast guy. Dinner is whatever's on the table I'm eating and I enjoy it.

What's a holiday breakfast? Give me an example.

I'm big on muffins and pastries.So my pastries are great. A good French toast. I'm more of waking up on Christmas and eating and enjoying more than I am the dinner. I don't know. I think the morning's always so much more magical.

Yeah, I definitely like breakfast, just in general.

Yeah, I'm more of a breakfast guy.

I will say the holiday lunch. Don't sleep on the holiday lunch. I like a good honey baked ham sandwich.

Come on now. You got me there.

How about places we would spend where we would use an Amex card?

I mean, honey baked ham. You go over there to Boston market.

Go get yourself a honey baked ham.

There we go. Go get you a honey baked ham over there.

You can buy a bunch of honey baked ham from Amex.

You can buy a bunch of groceries and just enjoy all the meals.

Or go to the popcorn shop in Sugar Falls. Boom. Get yourself some candy, some holiday treats.

Some kermicorn. No matter what dinner plans you make with AMEX Platinum, you get access to global dining access by Resi. You can experience the hottest restaurants with exclusive reservations and be notified when hard to get reservations open up.

We told you last week, our friends at Accelerator dropped a new flavor. Oh, yeah, baby. This orange ice pop, Jason, I know you've tried it. Oh, yeah. You like it?

I think I got about 1,000 milligrams of caffeine because I'm on number five.

That boy. It's only 2:00 PM. You got to love that. Yeah, man, I pulled up to the game with him, man. I was like, I need some of this orange pop to get me ready for this- Get you going. This Saturday noon game. Give me fired up.

I love it. And since we do know it's the holidays, our friends at Accelerator are hooking the holidays up. That's right. When you go to drinkacelerator. Com and you use code pop1387, you can get a case of orange ice pop for only $13.87. I wonder what the 13 is for. It's probably because it's my favorite number, right?

Yeah. Or maybe it was Friday the 13th, a few weeks ago.

Well, I was 13 in hockey.

Everyone knows how we stay energized. And I'm telling you, if you have not tried this, go try it right now, and even specifically, try this orange ice pop. So good.

Don't miss out on this deal. Get a case of orange ice pop on drinkaccelerator. Com for only $13.87..

All righty, back to the top of the two-minute drill here. We just got done with Love, actually giving it a solid Buns movie review. But we are into one of the greatest Christmas movies of all time. This is America speaking because this movie, Christmas Vacation, is based off of the good-hearted middle-class American family.

Yes.

It's just such a magical, fucking hilarious. It hits on every single aspect of the families and all the characters and portrays what I imagine as a lot of a lot of people's Christmas, I don't know, Christmas experiences, year in, year out, especially when you get the entire family, like both sides of the family together in one house.

I love it. This is a movie that I didn't love as much when I was a kid.

Yeah.

Because I think it was hard to relate to all of it. But the older you get, the funnier it gets, the more relatable it gets, especially once you start having kids of your own, once you're married.

I feel like even without kids, I'm looking at it like, Man, I can appreciate it for just the dynamic, the father always trying to just go above and beyond for the Christmas magic. For sure. Whether it's the tree or the lights. He says it in the beginning. He's like, I always just wanted a big Christmas family environment in my life, having both sides of the family, his wife's and all the parents, knowing that not everybody always sees eye to eye, but they always wanted this. We're also going to mention here that Kylie hasn't seen it.

Well, she has seen it. She did not watch it before this episode, though.

No, I'm of no use to you. I've only seen bits and pieces.

What pieces have you seen?

Can you see the in the dog right now?

Yeah.

She stole the dog.

Is she stealing toilet paper?

She stole the toilet paper out of the bathroom.

Look at her. She's about to tear it to pieces.

Arts and crafts. It's Daukey Arts and Crafts.

I don't even know that I can pull scenes out of my pocket here.

Okay.

When I tell you I am useless to this-Do you know who the main character is? Clark Griswalt.

Do you know who plays him? No. Okay. Kylie Zateh. Sorry.

Chevy Chase absolutely kills it.

There you go. That's it.

Chevy's the man.

Yeah, I think what's special about this movie is exactly what you're saying, Travis, that Clark is trying to give his family the ideal storybook Christmas, that hallmark in every movie and every story has ever laid out. But the beauty behind this is this is how actually Christmas is. It's a giant chore. It's incredibly hard to pull off. But you all, for some reason, all of us revel in the misery I love trying to make it happen because you're trying to make it special for your kids and your family. I think everybody can identify with Clark's inability to do that, but in trying to do so every single year. I think it's fantastic. I love right from the opening scene of going out and cutting the Christmas tree down, and the kids are like, Why the hell are we out here doing this? Why are we doing this? This makes no sense, dad. He's like, It's because it's a Christmas tradition. This is what we're going to go get our tree.

It's the ultimate dad of American dads.

This is what our forefathers did. They went out.

It's going to be more spot on.

No doubt.

It's all the '90s dads talk.

Then it's just right down the barrel from he's expecting the bonus from his job and how big of a point. He's gone all in on Christmas. He's leveraged everything that this is going to happen. It comes to a head immediately when he finds out that he isn't getting the bonus that he thinks he's getting. But kudos to the boss for getting his sense as when he's kidnapped by Cousin Eddie.

Cousin Eddie.

We all have a Cousin Eddie. I had a revelation while I was watching this movie. I've always thought I was Clark Griswold. Am I cousin Eddie?

No.

When I come to your house, am I viewed as the cousin Eddie?

No. You're viewed as Clark Griswold. I didn't know. You're 100% Clark.

I just thought, all of those scenes are so relatable, and that's what makes the movie so special. They did such a good job of just making it funny, poking fun at the ridiculousness of it, poking fun at the neighbors who are too cool to have Christmas be a part. I just think it's really, really well done across the board by National Lampoon and Chevy Chase and everyone involved. Should we get into the PFF rating of this movie? Or do you want to talk about more stories?

I want to ask you, have you-What's your favorite scene? Favorite scene? I probably should have thought of this before. There's so many good ones. I mean, right off the bat, the Kiss My Ass scene with the boss and all of his little Minions. I thought that was fucking gold.

Kiss My Ass, Kiss His Ass.

Kiss His Ass. Happy Hanica.

Kiss Your Ass, Happy I don't know.

So good. Yeah.

I like the sleding scene. That one's an iconic one when he goes through all the freaking different material. He's got the new lubricant. I really like the cat scene.

Don't put that my sled. You know the metal plate I got in my head?

Cousin Eddie's lines are so much better.

Every time he turns the microwave on, I piss myself.

I piss myself. And now the only thing standing between my brain is a two-inch-wide piece of government plastic. It's so good. It's so good. Oh, my gosh.

That's fucking gold.

I never understood the attic scene. I thought he was stuck up there, and I forgot that he goes through the ceiling. He could have just left, but he stays up there.

He stays up there. He gets caught up in just enjoying all the shit that's up there. Going down memory lane, which we all get caught up in.

For sure. I love the light scene.

Oh, my gosh.

When he finally gets it clicked on and the whole town goes out, then they got to turn the nuclear power on.

Shitter's full, man.

He says, He worked hard on those lights, grandma, so does a washing machine. Or so, He worked hard grandma, so does the washing machine. That's a good one. All right, let's get to the PFF, Greg. Before we got to get out of here. Kylie's were fast approaching her 45-minute window.

Let's do it.

Amount of Christmas, 10.10.Could.

Not have more.The entire thing is about Christmas.

Could not have more Christmas. Yeah. Acting, for what it is, like a comedy, they nailed it. Yeah. I mean, it's, again, not the most challenging, but- I was about to say, if you're going to go, if you're going to give- This was more challenging. The comedic timing here is way more challenging what they did in Love, actually. I'm assuming there was an amount of off-the-cuff comments made, like most of these comedies. I'm going eight. I'm going eight.

Yeah, there's no off-the-cuff in Love, actually.

Directing.

I didn't give my acting. I'll give them those two. Just, I mean, a seven. They were both tens, but if we're going the entire movie- The entire cast?

Yeah. All right. That's fair. I love the boss did a good job. Forget that actor. Directing, I mean, 10. It nailed it. It's freaking hilarious. It's ridiculous. It's not overstated.

It's not overstated.

Here's what I mean, and this is why I like old comedies. So many comedies that are made now, it's like they overdo it with a lot of it. It feels like this jump.

Let there be some question. In the first scene, they forget the saw, but they still get out of there with the tree because they ripped it out of the ground. How do they rip it out of the ground? Who gives a shit? It's funny.

We don't need to overdo it.

We don't need to over... We don't need to make it so realistic that, Oh, no, Clark. Chevy Chase isn't ripping a tree out of ground.

The comedy is very dry. It's not like at any moment, it feels like... If you weren't listening to the words, it doesn't feel like a comedy. It's not like this slapsticky thing too much. Actually, that's a lot. Anyway, I think the comedy is very dry throughout, and I just like that type of comedy as opposed to things that happen now where it's more of the talk.

How do you think comedies be made right now? I'll give it a solid eight on the directing. I thought it was good.

Plot.

Ten. Stop, Jason.

Eleven.

In terms of Christmas movie plot, this thing hits all of it.

It was all like when he's turning on the lights and they're doing the drum roll, we all knew it was not going to go up.

Yeah, but you didn't know why it wasn't going up. Is it because the light bulb's out? Everybody knows why. You did not know that there was going to be the light switch in the garage and that there was going to be a back and forth where she was going to turn it on. Then he's having trouble. He thinks he's got it fixed. Then all of a sudden, it's going out and he's trying. I just had it not like... No, none of that stuff was predictable. That's why it was funny. Things that are predictable aren't funny. This movie is very funny.

The light part, it wasn't funny. It was just the needed part in the movie.

You didn't think it was funny when he stapled his sleeve to the gutter and he ripped his sleeve off and then the ladder fell back into the tree. Then he went forward again. Then he's hanging from the gutter and a piece of ice shot out and hit his neighbor's window?

No. It's good for TV, but I didn't laugh, if that's what you're asking me.

Just give it a rating. Plot?

I'll give it a seven.

It's ridiculous. I like the way Travis just crushed you, the way you crushed me on.

I mean, what I just said was actually 100%. I mean, it made a ton of sense. This makes no It's not. He said it was predictable. It's not predict. That's why it's funny. Character relatability, 10.

Character relatability is up there. I'll give it a good nine.

What's the PFF grade?

It's going to be pretty high. It's going to be pretty high for a Christmas movie. Probably right around the eights. High eight.

Yeah, it's going to have to be eight points. No, it might be nine. It's going to be eight points something, right?

It shouldn't be this hard.

I don't know what's taking Brandon so long to type this up. 8.9. Wow.

I mean, yeah, I think that's a solid score for how I enjoyed the movie. I thought it was 8.9 for sure.

Some people just know that you can save hundreds on car insurance by checking Allstate first.

Like during the holidays, when you get a gift but forgot to buy the batteries.

Damn it. Pen there. Or when you take your family to Paris for the holidays but forget to check, your son Kevin is with you or in the car, and he ends up home alone, fending off burglars. This guy named Marv.

Checking first is smart. So check Allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. You're in good hands with Allstate.

All right, that's it for movie reviews. We're going to get to our next segment, which is Christmas movie, Games. That's right. We're going to do... Kylie has informed me this is a TikTok trend. I'm not on TikTok, so I'm new to this trend. It's a blind ranking. This is a big thing in the world of TikTok. The blind ranking is brought to you by our friends at Accelerator.

Nice.

Which, whether you're trying to get geared up to put up some Christmas lights, like Clark Griswold, or wrapping some presents, in the heat of the night before Santa gets there. Make sure you're drinking Accelerator when you need that energy and a little bit of all-natural, plant-based thermogenics to get you there.

Always get you right, baby. It's got me to 14-1 this season.

We're going to blind rank 10 of the most popular Christmas movies of all time. Can't wait to see what they chose for this. You will see one movie at a time. Place it on the list before seeing the next one. This is going to be hard because we don't know what the 10 movies are going to be.

That's the whole point. That's the whole point of it. That's why it's blind ranking. He's got it. He gets it now.

There's literally filters on TikTok that do this.

What's a filter? Is that like a...

It's like a Snapchat thing.

But it turns everything orange?

No. It shows a blank 1-10, and then it puts one thing on the screen, and you have to select which number you'd like to put it at, and then you find out what the next one is. Got it.

There's multiple versions of filters, what you just Thanksgiving.

Yes, there's also a filter. Yeah, that is. But there's Thanksgiving food ranking.

How are we doing this? Are we doing this with the- Brandon's going to tell us.

Brandon's going to pop it up.

Should I get a pen and pencil?

No.

Okay.

It's so funny.

First movie, The Santa Claus. Santa Claus.

That's a good movie.

That's a good movie. I can think of a lot of movies better, but I do like Santa Claus. Who's going first? Travis, you go first on this one, then we'll rotate.

Somewhere in the middle of the pack, five or six.

I was thinking four. I would do five. If you guys want to go five, where are you going?

I was going higher than that.

You're a big fan?

We'll go four.

I just think it's a great movie.

It's a really good movie. If you want to go four, I'll go four with Santa Claus. I'll go four. I can think of a few Second movie's better, including Christmas Vacation.

Second movie, Jingle All The Way.

Jingle All The Way.

That's not better than the Santa Claus.

No, it's not. I mean, it's a guilty pleasure for me just because it has Schwarzenegger, but objectively not that good of a movie.

Yeah, I'm going to say low.

I can think of worse, like Love, Actually.

It's got to be eight or nine.

It can't go too low.

I would say eight or nine.

I'll go eight. I think eight's a good solid jingo all the way score. I hope they didn't put a bunch of bad movies in here now. A Christmas Story. Okay, Wyatt clearly doesn't agree with that. A Christmas Story. I think you got to go one. I don't know if there's any movie that symbolizes Christmas more to me than Christmas Story, personally.

I love it. I really do love it, but I enjoy other Christmas movies so much more.

Is it above or below Santa Claus is the question? I think definitely above.

Then it needs to be three because quite honestly, it wouldn't even be my top five.

Christmas Story?

No.

It hits home for us, Clevelanders. I think 3 is fine. I think it should be on the other side of it.

I think it should be two. I think it should be two.

I don't think it should be two.

No, Brandon, keep typing. He already got vetoed. No. Yeah, thank you. He got vetoed.

Movie number 4, Elf.

Elf is a very good movie. Outstanding. Man, it's good. It's definitely better than Santa Claus, so I'm upset that Santa Claus is at four because I can't put it above a Christmas story.

Yes, we can.

I'm not doing that. I think Elf is, too.

I'll put it at five. I'll compromise on five.

Jason, we're not compromising Elf. You think there's two other Christmas movies better than Elf?

I could think of five, if I'm being honest. There's no way. A Wonderful Life. I can think of Christmas Vacation.

I just want to declare that this does not accurately represent how I would have blind ranked any.

The Grinch? Guys, this rating is so fucked up. We fucked up with Santa Claus.

No, the Grinch is going to be number one, and Elf is going to be number two.

We fucked up with Santa Claus.

Santa Claus shouldn't be four. It should be lower.

Our Christmas Story shouldn't have squeaked into the top five.

I said five or six on Santa Claus. Listen, I think Elf has got to be up there.

Is the most iconic Christmas movie of all time. They play it for 24 hours straight on TBS. They used to at least. Oh, my gosh.

For all the geesers that still watch TBS.

Is Miracle on 34th Street going to be in this?

Shit. That one's way down there. That movie sucks. The O.

G. Talk about playing every single year. It's not the O.

G. Come on. It's not the O. G.

No, I mean the O. G. Version of that movie, not the remake.

All right, put it at five. I'm fine. We'll put it at five. We'll put it at five. It's up there. It's top five. Perfect. Alpha's top five, Christmas all time. The Muppets Christmas Carol. Oh.

Six. I love me some Muppets.

No way. I'll keep five. I'll go seven. No way. Put that at nine, if not 10.

No, you're way off You are way off.

No way. You guys. I'm not letting you do this.

What is happening right now?

A Muppet Christmas Carol is fucking fantastic.

This is ridiculous. I will agree with you.

You're saying this movie is worse than Jiggle all the way? You're out of your mind. You are out of your mind.

I didn't think Jingle All The Way should have been that high either.

I was giving Swarton as a benefit.

Guys, we still have Love Actually coming up. We have to leave space down there for Love, Actually.

Nine it is then.

You motherfucker.

Nine it is because there's still two more that we probably I really should have put above Santa Claus.

I can't wait to see what comes next. Brandon hit it.

Nightmare Before Christmas. Oh. God damn it.

I'm a seven. Ten. No, this is not a Christmas movie. This is a Halloween movie.

This is the way that Love actually should have been filmed. If it was filmed like this, it might have been good.

The cartoon porn scene?

The anti-Christmas movie is the way it should have been filmed. I would love to see some clay titties, okay?

It needed to be darker. It They were trying to shine light on them too much.

You guys are out of your mind. If you think the Nightmare Before Christmas is not a good movie.

This is an absolute.

I can't put a 10. There's going to be something worse than this.

I'm saying seven. You're right. There is going to be something worse than it.

I can honestly say I've never even watched that.

This is... Which movie?

Yeah, we fucked It was a nightmare before.

How are you at all inclined to rate it anything if you've never seen it?

It's a fucking skeleton, Jason.

Don't judge a book by its cover, Kyle.

Oh, God. Yeah, you didn't like the Adams family? This is the next one. It's a wonderful life.

This Well, here he goes. One or two. Here he goes.

This is not one or two. This is six.

No chance.

This is a cluster fuck.

Dude, there's no way this is one of the best.

You guys are out of your minds if you don't think this movie is wonderful.

Dumpster fire.

It's got the word wonderful in its life. If you put a wonderful life below fucking elf in Santa Claus, this list is fucking ridiculous.

It's not better than elf.

It's not as funny as Elf, but more impactful and has more sentimental value. I'm clearly in the minority.

If you haven't noticed, I've given up.

I'm clearly in the minority. Have you ever seen this movie, too?

No.

I forced myself to watch this terrible movie.

Step your Christmas movie up. I think it should be one or two, but if Travis wants it at six.

I don't know what other Christmas movies we're saving for one and two.

That's the problem. We're going to get something like Love, Actually. We're going to have to put it all of a sudden.

If you put it at two, then you have a very clean next couple.

We can't do six because then it's either the best thing or the worst thing.

Nice, Ky. Way to make it make sense. Put it at two.

I just don't know what you're going to put above a Christmas story in Wonderful Life in the grand scheme.

The Grinch. I love that we're all on the same page. The Grinch is great.

The Grinch is objectively... Which Grinch are we going, though?

It's going to be the O. G. Grinch.

I got bad news.

The Grinch isn't on here. Jesus Christ.

The Grinch isn't on the list.

The Grinch isn't on here.

I have horrible news. This is so funny. Great. Love, actually.

Ted.

I don't know. I think this is It's like the middle of the pack.

No chance.

This movie is way worse than your always. It's not as Christmas Vacation.

One. It's my favorite Christmas movie outside of A Wonderful Life and Christmas Story. That's my top three.

But it's neither one of them.

Oh, no, Travis, I've given up.

Which one are you going to put it six? So you put it six, then no matter what freaking movie that comes out is going number one?

Yeah, this is the point of the game, Jason. I'm going six.

Kyler, what are you going? One or six?

I haven't seen this in forever. Don't call me on this.

You didn't even know that the lead actor's name is Chevy Chase.

Why would I know that, Jason?

I don't know. It's just almost like, Okay, I'm happy with this list. This is a good one. Nice.

You're huge.

You're huge. Home Alone is great. Objectively, Home Alone is fantastic. I mean, Joe Pesci, freaking-I thought this was going to be a really bad list, but it's actually not a bad list. I think it's pretty accurate, other than Christmas Vacations to be above Elf and Santa Claus.

A Chris Christmas, the 10- The Wonderful Life. 10 of the most popular Christmas movies, and you didn't include The Grinch, is a travesty. I don't- Also, since when is The Wonderful Life about Christmas? Great question, Travis.

What the fuck are we talking about?

I think A Wonderful Life is about- Show me the Timer, Brandon.

Can I see the Timer, please?

I remember watching. I'm like, When is Christmas going to even fucking play its part in this movie?

A Wonderful Life is about a community in the concept of things being bigger than yourself and the concept of giving, obviously, in the bank that... I forget the main guy's name.

George? George.

The concept of the bank giving to the community. I guess if you don't like banks, you probably don't like a Wonderful Life. But the Mom and Pop Banks, not the conglomerate 2008 Banks.

If I were to change this list, Wonderful Life would go down to six, and Christmas Vacation would go up. That's the only thing I would change. Our blind rankings from 1-10 were Home Alone at one, Wonderful Life at 2, which I don't know. Number 3 was a Christmas Story, four, Santa Claus, 5 Elf, six, Christmas Vacation, Seven Nightmare on Christmas, 8, Jingle All The Way, nine, Muppets, and 10, Love, Actually. 92 percentters, tell us how we did. We need to know, is this an acceptable list? Is it not acceptable? And is Jason thinking way too highly of Wonderful Life?

That's a great movie. Line ranking was brought to you by our friends at Accelerator. Upgrade your energy today with Accelerator Active Energy.

Let's move on to the little no dumb questions.

I wasn't needed here for- There's other movies I enjoy watching more.

I wasn't needed here for any of this, so can I get up before dumb question?

No, you're staying, Kylie.

I think we need it just for this one, actually.

I have to go care for children.

We have to keep our ratings up, and we have to have the best podcaster in the world in order to do that. You're such a dick. Do not go anywhere.

No, No Dumb Questions Christmas edition. All right, now, let's close this thing out with a little No Dumb Questions because there's no such thing as dumb questions. Just two dumb guys asking Jason's wife to come join us answering some not so dumb questions. No Dumb Questions is brought to you by NFL Sunday. Ticket on YouTube TV. Hey. Get to YouTube TV and watch the rest of the NFL action. Let's see what we've got on the hotline. Next caller. Hi, guys. I would like to know, when is it Is it ever okay to tell your partner that they are a bad gift giver? Thank you.

Go, Bird.

Well, it's a good question. And go, Bird. Love that. I will say this. I will say this. Don't fuck around with this, because it sounds like it's an issue. If you got a bad gift giver, you got to say something and nip it in the bud. Because I'll tell you this, Mom Donna, Kelsey, had to deal with Christmas upon Christmas of the exact same gifts Earrings and candles. Earrings and candles and pistachio nuts for... I mean, we did it our whole childhood before we were in high school where she said, You know, guys, you don't have to give me the same thing every single Christmas.

So I'll say this. But what do you get a mom that has everything she ever needs?

You got to nip that in the bud. You got to say something. You don't have to be a jerk about it. Just be like, Hey, I think like...

I got enough earrings.

Or just whatever you don't like about the gifts, don't say you don't like them. Just say, Hey, I just It's like, sometimes, I think I would appreciate something more sentimental, something I really like jewelry. Just say what you like. You don't have to say what you don't like. You can plant seeds as to what you want if they're listening.

Now you're getting warmer.

Plant seeds. And also, if they give a gift to somebody else and it's asked, let them know we got to work on your gift given. That way, they'll take the note that they need to get better to giving you gifts. Why would you give this gift? It makes no sense. You understand how to give a gift?

Right.

Ky, you have something you want to chime in?

I think you should be gentle about it, but I think you can let someone know ahead of time. Like you're saying, plant a seed. But you don't need to plant a seed that they're a bad gift or you can just plant a seed on something that you would like. You can do one or two things so that they have two different things to choose from, would be a good option, and just plant that seed early and say, I've been looking at this It's a beautiful sweater. It's a beautiful sweater. I'm just not sure that I want to spend that much money on it, or I'm not sure that I want to... I'm not sure that I'll get there.

Also, get it. Speaking for men everywhere, be very clear if you want this gift because we miss some of these more subtle hints. I'm just being honest.

Also, what's considered a good gift and a bad gift? If you're a shitty gift receiver, you need to check yourself in the fucking mirror. That's good. If you're out here hoping you're getting a fucking brand new car, and it's like, you know what I mean? All you're getting is sweaters. What are we fucking doing here? We need to reevaluate the situation at hand. That's a good point, Jeff.

We need to reevaluate the situation at hand. Expectations.

Yes. So it goes both ways.

How am I as a gift giver, guys?

Travis, you want to take this one?

Nobody has to rush to answer that.

I did like my birthday gift. I think that was a Kylie move, though.

Which one was it?

You want me to tell everybody?

The box. Big box.

The box? Yeah.

The box we took to Kansas City. He doesn't actually know what that was, Travis.

I knew that wasn't him. Sorry. What has Jason got me?

Then the '99 Jersey. He was very excited about that one.

I mean, that was a fucking banger. I got it right here.

The problem is Jason and I, I feel we align on gift giving in a way where when a holiday or a birthday or something comes around, we do like an, Oh, shit.

But outside of holidays and times where you're actually supposed to give gifts, there have been times where we've like, Oh, I really thought this would be great.

Nice. Then I don't love getting gifts, and so I never help him in any way. He buys everything that he wants just when he thinks of it.

I deal with that as well.

I think I'm a good gift giver. I think I'm a bad gift planner. That's where I'm. I'm a bad gift planner.

Yeah. I'd say, Well, he's not saying I'm a good gift giver, so I'm not confident saying I am a good gift giver.

Okay, he's a good gift giver.

But I would say the gift planning is the downfall for both of us.

Yeah. I mean, I'm right there in the same boat. We're all in the same boat on this one.

Got to the transformer robot last year.

Yeah, but Jason, you always do it the day before.

I got you the transformer gift last year on Christmas.

He either gets it months ahead of time or the day before.

Yeah.

Isn't that pretty standard?

Whoever floats your boat finds a lost remote. You know what I mean? Outkast taught me that one.

Wait till you see what I got you guys this We're going to revisit this in a couple of days. We're going to revisit this conversation and who the best gift giver is in a couple of days. It's not going to be me. Because I know who's winning that one. I was too busy playing S-A-N-T-A, if you catch my drift.

You just wait, Jason. You just wait.

How do you think I've ever been this confident?

For me, too? Huh? For me?

I'm giving away zero details. I know I'm very confident in Travis, less confident in Kylie.

That means he hasn't gone to the mall Very company, Jess. I'm going to screw something up to join over there. I also blame our gift creativity on dad. He made us get mom the exact same gift. I just think I can just go out and just get the same gift.

I've really had to work on this. But I just want to let you guys know.

I'm not going to blame dad. I just want to let you guys know. He's actually a very good gift giver.

We are going to revisit this in five days. We're going to revisit this in five days.

You know what? You're talking about planting a seed. Talk about planting a seed. I am perfectly happy with a candle and some the earrings. I want to throw that out there.

On it.

Do you guys know what that is? That's a trap, brother. That is a trap.

All right, we are good to go. Thank you for the call in There you go, birds. And, yeah, let's reevaluate the situation. You got to be a good receiver and a good gift giver.
