Or so I don't know what China's population. China, yeah. China. China. But all in all we are good. We are here today to do the Christmas episode, so we're glad you joined us. I'm gonna hand it off to my boy Russell, who is going to give us a quiz

to test our festive knowledge. Russell, take it away. Okay. So w these questions have been hermetically sealed in a mayonnaise jar on uh Orville Redendoctor's front porch or whatever that was. So don't blame me for the questions here. I'm just, you know, just I'm like Will Rogers, all I know is what I read in the newspapers, so We're gonna start off with a real easy one here first. What is the full name of Santa Claus? Is it Saint Nick, Saint Colossus, Saint Charles, or Saint Nicholas?

Saint Nicholas. All right, I told you. I told you that was an easy one. I think St. Colossus is the best name though. Okay, who is not? one of Santa's reindeer in the song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Snoopy. Cupid, Prancer, Donner, or Chopper? Chopper. Chopper. Chapping. Okay. All right. They get harder. Okay. How many ghosts appeared in a Christmas carol? Three. Is it four, five, three, or twelve? Three. Three. Fourteen. Ah. The number is four. Oh, four. Marley.

Yep. Oh yeah. All right, I told you they get harder in the song Twelve Days of Christmas. What new gift did their true love send on the ninth day? Pipers Piping, Maids of Milking, Lords of Leaping, or Ladies Dancing? Ladies Dancing. Ladies Dancing. You guys are good. Wow. That is absolutely correct. I was gonna go for maids of milking, but this is uh this one's too easy. Will Will S can I add a a quick story there?

Go ahead. So every year at the Dallas Arboretum, if you're in the Dallas area, they have a setup, both Santa's village, but then they also have stages. for each of the twelve days of Christmas that are like these little animatronic things that show whatever that day is. So that is too cool. I wouldn't know all 12 days, but I have seen all 12 days, some of them more appropriate than others.

And my twelve days of Christmas story is not as good as Joe's, but at the Kennedy Center they always have the children's program on a like a Saturday matinee. And you have to act out the twelve days of Christmas. And a partridge in a pear tree. Well, since we're telling stories, when I was in the eighties, when I was in Germany for Christmas in the Marine Corps, I came into the barracks and there was this little pine tree in a bucket. It that did not have a single needle on the pine tree.

And there was a 308 empty round tied with a red ribbon to the middle of the tree. And I go, what is this? And they go, it's a cartridge in a bear tree. That's good. You know, I wasn't gonna get into those silly trivia things, but uh uh well, maybe. Hey, this next one's too easy, but I'm gonna see if Jordan has something lewd to say about it when you're in the

When you're under a mistletoe it means what? You're getting lucky tonight. Oh no no no no no I'll change my answer. This might get edited out in post. We'll see. If you're under a mistletoe, she pretty much has to. Yeah, that one will have to be edited out. Okay. All right, this monster is said to be the evil counterpart of Santa Claus, punishing misbehaving children on Christmas. Is it the Grim? Jordan Driscoll. The leprechaun? The Wendigo or the Krampus?

Krampus, always Krampus. Krampus, that's correct. Okay, all right. Who's saying I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus? Tammy Wynett. I don't know. Okay, here's your choice. Mariah Carey, Vince Garrialdi trio, the Ronettes or the Jackson Five. Jackson five. You're absolutely right, Audrey. That's exactly what I'm saying. I would have said Shirley Temple, but I don't know. I'm a Jew! And I know none of these.

So I wrote on for something. Who wrote how the Grinch Stole Christmas? Everybody knows that. Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss. Doctor Seuss. Okay. All right. Yeah, that's that that one was that one was too easy. My favorite. Okay. Where was Jesus born? In Babylon, Galilee, Eden, or Bethlehem? Bethlehem. Bethlehem. I I I I'm Two for Two. Okay, what was used for Frosty the Snowman's nose? Button.

A carrot. Carrot. Carrot. Carrot. I mean choice button knows. Your choice is carrots. Your choices are carrot, coal, radish, or button? Button. You're going with button, huh? I'm going with button. And button nose into eyes made out of coal. Coal. Exactly. Oh yeah. Right. If you say that. All right. Button and is button is correct. Okay. What about the snowman? What about the red one? Or isn't that what's that movie? Red One. I don't know.

That's a new movie for Christmas and they it's it's an army of snowmen because they've taken the North Pole. He's got they all have carrots for their own. So that's what I thought. But frozen. I mean a frozen carrot's more dangerous than a button. So if I was gonna be in an army of snowmen, I would have a carrot nose. Speaking of movies, which actor played six characters in the movie Polar Express?

Jim Carrey, John Hutcherson, Stephen Tyler, or Tom Hanks? Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks, that's correct. The first artificial Christmas tree was made with feathers from which bird? A chicken, an ostrich, a sword, or a goose? Ostrid. The answer is goose. That is a boring tree. Not to the goose. That's a dangerous tree. Which holiday is Christmas on December twenty sixth, a day after Christmas in the UK?

Boxing Day. Boxing Day. That's exactly right. We had to get that in for our international audience though, okay? Uh which is a song by Elvis Presley. White Christmas, Green Christmas, Red Christmas, or Blue Christmas? Blue. That's right. Can you can you sing a little bit of it for us? Santa's favorite singer is Elfish Presley. Sing it. Sing it. Uh let's see. Oh hell. Christmas. Sh with that. Start hurting. You're not going to be able to do somebody get a lane at the

Blue blue Christmas. That's a good thing. This is a great place to wind this thing down. Wanna lit wish all of our listeners a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year's, Happy Holiday. Just appreciate Happy Hanukkah. Just appreciate each and every one of y'all for listening. 'Cause without y'all it would be this gang talking amongst themselves, which would be kinda weird. If y'all think this is funny, you should see how our meetings go. You should. Except there is one listener.
