Zac Saleski:

Bam. Murph, what's going on? It is cold. And my my chest not sir.

Murph:

are not doing well. Okay. That's how we started. That's how we started. He said this should have been more last time I was fine. But now you're telling me I'm terrible. Sounds like you need to put your chest out on an open fire. Yeah, yeah. How credible? It is not that I mean it's cold. It's not that cold. It's 30 degrees out, which I don't know that isn't Celsius, but like zero, I guess I think 30 twos freezing. So 30 would be like, almost zero Celsius, I think. Yeah, yeah. Well, don't do that. I don't do that. No, this isn't the math podcast. This is no we mean things that we just talked about randomly and never introduced the punch.

Zac Saleski:

What is it you said you said you said a hockey players who hockey colts who likes football in the offseason? Exactly. Perfect. That's a that's a that's a new name. Yeah. You came from Maple glaze to come to the wrong place. Exactly. See. We are welcome. Welcome to a very special edition of holiday edition. We are bringing that back like that long talk we had about holiday shows. We're bringing holidays things back. Yeah, we're taking a little wrangle sidestep off of our main track. We're gonna talk about holidays. FPC culture, we're gonna you know, well, I guess we were saying Han here. Exactly. Get Real in here for this special session is brought to you by Sheesh, she's

Murph:

I've heard sheshe but she's fine. There's no There's no, there's only one ah, not terribly hashish in here? No. Okay, but find out. I'll be seeing some trippy things I could always not probably be more than I usually do. Murphy's job. Yep. All right. I'm gonna start off with a hot take. When did it become happy Christmas. Merry Christmas. It's the weirdest thing to me. Finally, we're going to Harry Potter. I'm glad with the only one Yeah, I don't like it just fine. Like who cares? That's like, it's me. Not me. So Exactly. Like Harry Potter. The same. Same thing. It's like gaming ever since that first movie came out. It's like, Oh, Happy Christmas. Harry's. What? No, no, no, no, we're not doing happy. We're doing merry. Merry. Merry Charles Dickens. Merry Christmas.

Zac Saleski:

How we do it in here. Old school. Put your Charles are up. No, no, no. Yeah, exactly. Well, sorry, Charles. But better than Charles Darwin. But anyway, it's a separate note. So

Murph:

Well, regarding Oh, yeah. Happy Christmas. Scott. Stop it. Hashtag stop. Happy Christmas. Its merry. Now. Let's go.

Zac Saleski:

Just say Happy Christmas. We got to stop now. Yeah. Okay.

Murph:

Merry Christmas. We're gonna bring it back. Is that what we're doing? We're doing that. We're starting that trend we're gonna get we're gonna make a big here. Start that trend.

Zac Saleski:

Like Happy Christmas stop or get canceled. Stop. Stop happy. Yeah, hashtag

Murph:

happy. Well, I said. I said at first it hashtag stop. Happy Christmas.

Zac Saleski:

Okay, well, if it's too long, I'll

Murph:

play back the tape. I can't remember. But yeah, play it back. Throw in a flag.

Zac Saleski:

We don't have to tell you. I can't go right back into it.

Murph:

Alright, that's fair. Someone will know.

Zac Saleski:

Thank you. Thank you fans. The comments will this is welcome to a like I said a very special edition. We're going to obviously we're gonna talk a little bit about I guess Christmas time and things that we do we we kind of talked about a little bit of it. Yeah, I want to go too into it though. I wanted to get more of a I guess a Canadian take on it. Americans you know what we do? That's just, I mean, either everything inside unfortunately

Murph:

is gonna be very short one. I feel like the Canadians don't do like a whole lot differently than Americans. But I think it's more of a religion area based thing for weather and all that but I guess I will say I feel like not every place but most places in Canada obviously there's snow which I always love snow during Christmas. But don't know why because then I usually hate it after but no actually enjoy for a little bit after. But yep, they usually have snow. So it's kind of fun.

Zac Saleski:

You know, it's always something to do. Right. Exactly.

Murph:

I don't know. I guess like, like everywhere else especially here like you said when our last podcast like, obviously like Catholicism, Roman Catholic, all that stuff. There's big up there. So yeah, church is always big. They really do. Unlike the US I guess this is the one weird thing. It's like Christmas really, but they really love Boxing Day, which I know is a big Europe thing too. Yes. But the same thing Canada like boxing days a big thing there. So they will they'll come over the border to the US for boxing day. Which is like the weirdest thing to me like yeah, I don't get it either way. It's like such a I'm sure we could Google it and figure it out. But I never understood why. It's I talk about a commercial holiday. Like that's literally what it was. I'm sure someone's gonna Google it and be like, No, it's built around this but it's so commercialized now. Like

Zac Saleski:

I don't know people hopping over borders to celebrate Boxing Day. Yeah, seriously. No, yeah, well, you know, people across the country,

Murph:

it sounds so it sounds crazy, but the other big too, and this is so Canada is. Hockey is really big, obviously. So the day after Christmas is Boxing Day for those that don't know, I forgot to explain that the day after Christmas Boxing Day, the whole idea is, you know, you're returning the gifts that you didn't like. But I guess it's also a time when the the stores will do sales not as bad as Black Friday, but they'll do sales like that. So that's why Boxing Day. Oh, but there'll also be a hockey hockey game because the World Juniors Hockey Tournament starts, which is Yeah, which is the gift to be. Don't quote me on this, I guess like 19 and under are 18 and under. So they are some of them are the elite prospects for the NHL Draft play in this? Yeah. And every team sends a bill every part of that tour. He did. He played for the US team. Every country sends a team. So Canada, US, Sweden, Russia, Finland. So in Canada, it's a big tournament. So that's like, like it. Like it kicks off right after Christmas. So Boxing Day is when it starts and it lasts like a week. And then that's it. And they you know, it's every year, they do usually change up the location of the tournament. So I think when my brother played in it, it was some it was in Russia. So you had to spend Christmas in Russia this year, because it COVID In the past few years, because it COVID It's been taking place in Canada somewhere in Canada, and they do like a village that all the guys stay out and they just to bring down COVID. So they basically quarantine all the players in an area. Yeah, like it's basically the inside information. I've heard what they do is like, they basically look what they did in the NHL, when the season came back with COVID was like, you don't leave the hotel, the meals get delivered to you in your room. You might have like, you might have a meeting room, you get tested, like every day, if not every other day. Like oh, fortunately, it's kind of a miserable existence, but literally at the age of 18 to you can be as young as I think 16 or 17 but doesn't happen a ton. Is you know you're making while you're you're spending Christmas alone in a hotel. You know no no family around one french fries right now. Yeah, but it's like, you know, it's it's a big it's a it's a huge honor. And it's a big thing to to do for your career. Because like, if you play in this, there's a good chance that you're getting looks at NHL college like major like big time juniors like stuff like that, like you're either already playing in that and then now you put your list on, you put your name on a list for NHL draft. And if you do really well that's when you get noticed. So then the odd works. Yeah, and then the odd small country sneaks in. Obviously Germany's becoming better so they're in the they're in this now more routinely and getting noticed they're more of a dark horse though every year. And then I don't know what the best they've ever finished in these but fortune World Juniors they don't do amazing. There'll be like a country like Latvia or Belarus or something like that. That that's weird

Zac Saleski:

thing. You get the Eastern European teams to just sneak in. Well, yeah,

Murph:

it's it's so I went to Belarus the one time so it's like a It's they have the former Soviet influence. So hockey kind of follows with them. Yeah. But they don't have the athletes. Unfortunately, the good athletes go to Russia. I think Russia just kind of claims them as their own. It sounds like some sort of stealing but, but then again, people will look up and see like right now I think Latvia is having a really good insurgents, like really good youth coming up of like, there's a bunch of goaltenders coming out of there like MERS Lincoln's from the Blue Jackets here in Ohio, is from Latvia. So they're like having a good source of funny hockey players coming out of there. Right now.

Zac Saleski:

There's there's a lot of like, not just hockey, though. I've seen last number of years. There's like, I caught this randomly one time, there's like a bunch of like, good powerlifters coming out of there. Even like men's and women's get into now. It's uh oh, there's a there's like a couple of really good, like American football players starting to come out. Which is like, it's so random. Math. Oh, there's something going on that country I don't know. I think

Murph:

unfortunately, which it's like even a lot of places in the US is like, the poverty over there so bad. Even in Russia, it's pretty bad that sports is a way for them to get out. So from young ages, they are just bred to do this stuff. And then on top of that, which I've always respected about Europe, my like USA starting to do a little bit like my brother went into this in the US program where they have such good academies. Yeah, so from a young age, like you go to school, but then they basically your free time is dedicated to the sport and you realize like, as a kid, like, that's kind of what you have to do. Like, you know, like, yeah, so was it that 10,000 hour rule or something that that book that was written where it's, you know, you spent 10,000 hours at something you're most likely going to be a professional like,

Zac Saleski:

I'm like that like so every Friday recheck your priorities then

Murph:

well then you're probably not training properly. But yeah, that's but yeah, anyway, we digress to really bad off the hallway. Wow. Yeah, get back to bed. Merry Christmas America. Yeah, but just cycling back I guess. So that's big and Canada's watching the World Juniors, hockey, so stereotypical. So that will be I'm actually probably watching a little bit of that. Just because it's kind of cool to see the young guys coming up some of the goals and some of them already been drafted the NHL, but like anyone that follows the NHL, Cole Caulfield, he did really well for us, America did really well for the Americans. USA Hockey team, they won last year. He now plays the Montreal Canadiens. Trevor's egress plays for Anaheim Ducks. He did really well. And so he's by them this year. I'm really excited. They're typical. The Canadians have a young sensation. His name is Bernard or something like that. Yeah. 16 And he's just blowing apart though. Who, which is like 18 to 20 year olds. He's like leading scoring stuff. Like he's 17 Now or 70. Now, but yeah, he's like, he's a he's a freak. They say he's gonna like a course. They'll always do is to drum up business. But like, he looks better already than like Connor McDavid. And Austin Matthews. Like they're saying he might be the next Gretzky. Like he's just that good. But

Zac Saleski:

as a plethora of talent. Oh, yeah, good, Lord. Well,

Murph:

it's like we talked about like, when one phenom comes out, every kid that's into that sport, looks at the copies, their training regimens, all that stuff. So like, yeah, when someone comes out with such a great natural ability, it just helps the sport because then every other person coming coming into the league is like, that's the guy they want to be. So they're just working like that, like any man, right? Yeah. They're working on Christmas. Yes, like

Zac Saleski:

the word on Christmas. That's how we tied together now. Yeah, but oh, by the way, bro, I gotta say, too, for some reason. And so I posted the video, I think was last week on our last episode, I posted on social media on tick tock everything, or actually knows it was YouTube. I'm sorry, guys. I was talking about how to stay neutral at NHL games, and actually started getting a little bit of traction. With some people. I don't know why it's the most random things. Yeah, you're giving us some quality, quality information. How to stay neutral, not Oh, my Oh,

Murph:

so the problem is, is I want you to be able to last on this podcast, maybe for giggity maybe for like a day for like a year. So I'm running out of stories. I don't know. Like, you know, I'll just start doing more and more random stuff, but I don't know. I guess hopefully they ask questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Yeah, I mean, but I digress. Happy Christmas.

Zac Saleski:

We were in hockey. That's Ice Hockey. Hockey hockey call to like, American football on the off seasons. Yeah. There we go. That's, that's, I guess where we are? Right. I think the last couple episodes.

Murph:

There you go. The other thing that I will say Canada with the great homage to England, I guess, is they do have kind of some of the I find this out for my parents that they enjoyed this some of like the English traditions of what like the mixed meat pie.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, yeah. So like England does that too? Yeah.

Murph:

So my one year my dad randomly Gautam. And I like had it and I was like, it's actually not terrible. I feel like in Canada, because they have a better connections. It would probably taste better up there. But I can't say I've had it. Like, you'll see those odd little things were like, you know, it's like the cookies and like the mix, mix. Mix. Meet, mix. Meet me. That's me. That's me. I always say it wrong. Yeah. mincemeat pies, like stuff like that. You get that little dog pie, right? Get that little homage to Canada to Britain. Like they'll do little stuff like that. I'm sure. And I wish I've gotten to experience other provinces but I'm sure in provinces like like it's New Brunswick and like Nova Scotia on the on the right. Yeah, thanks. Yeah. On the coast. Like there was a there's a heavier British influence there. So I'm sure things are a little different there. But they're also a little more blue collar. So I'm not 100% sure on that. But, yeah, that's kind of the top things that come to my mind. People just

Zac Saleski:

think that you live up in the Yukon,

Murph:

right? That's what everyone always thinks anglers. Yeah. Those are the natives as they call it in Canada. They don't call American Indians. They call them natives.

Zac Saleski:

Well, you can't call American right. North American Indian.

Murph:

No, it'd be they'll call them Indians. It's called natives. Okay? So,

Zac Saleski:

no, weird. Murph does not like to hide in the carcasses of whales. He's a he's a real man.

Murph:

Right? Exactly. Caribou just carry I don't swim. Okay, all right. I'll hit you with something Zack.

Zac Saleski:

Yay. Let's go going on.

Murph:

I don't think we talked about this. What is your favorite Christmas tradition?

Zac Saleski:

Oh, let me tell you. It's when I when I dress up my night gown with a little with a little pot with a little flame. Okay, what camera which? Evany is fruity? Okay, everyone around town in my nightgown. Nice to wear the hat. Course. Should we throw where's the nightcap?

Murph:

Okay, that's fair. That's fair. Okay, that's all you do just run around town like that. I don't even sing or anything. Just running around. I'm down

Zac Saleski:

one of my old teammates is probably my first year of college football is our he's our quarterback or coach. At the time his name was head coach was Tom Rathman. He said he this kind of spread around like the locker room like wildfire, but the way he said it was so good. He's like, little Tommy Rathman running through the town in nothing but his night gown. That's like, where do you get this crack?

Murph:

People just smart. I guess born with that. Maybe it's Maybelline. But yeah, so

Zac Saleski:

we just took off with it. And we just said he runs around the city with a little nightcap and we can excuse me, sir. That is you tavern closed.

Murph:

That's still considered hipster. Is that like, pass hipster wave pass as late as I say that's yeah, that's, I see a press. It's like a method actor. Okay.

Zac Saleski:

No, my favorite is man. I like like the old fashion traditions. I mean, you could honestly name off a few or whatever but skin

Murph:

milk when you should like elementary go like a cigarette before you go to bed like

Zac Saleski:

oh, actually an old fashioned before I go to bed on Christmas. Yeah, I was actually going here. I

Murph:

was secretary of the ass. Like, what?

Zac Saleski:

You can't do that.

Murph:

We're not bringing that back.

Zac Saleski:

Honestly, I I just really enjoy. I guess some of the smaller moments. So whether it's just like sitting in front of the fireplace and just opening one president. I just kind of like simple and while it's snowing out there you go. And like when Missouri when I was younger, we had like couple years where it's like that. So Missouri, like we get a lot of like mainly snows in Missouri. Right? It snows. But it turns to ice pretty quick.

Murph:

Yeah. So usually Ohio doesn't want to, but we'll

Zac Saleski:

get like, like, just inches and inches of ice on it. So it's like it's but that was like there's a couple of years in succession where it's like perfectly it's like, just knowing perfectly like in Christmas mode and you're like opening a presence. You got you got the music behind you playing all the classics from like the 40s. Oh, then you got the fireplace going? Simple. So I need that's fair. And then you just you know, the next day you want to eat a big old cheese log. And then what? Cheese law you never had

Murph:

those now what is that? Oh, that's like that sounds like a tradition. I have never heard of that. But I've never had a cheese law. I don't even know that is. Is it like, is it like what are those pull apart cheese sticks, like a bunch of them together? I don't know what

Zac Saleski:

that is. I'm sure you've seen them in the store. Basically, it's like a just a giant cheese like looking log with like a bunch of like, kind of nuts on it. No, so people just like cut it off. Put on crackers and they'll eat it.

Murph:

I've seen like the one where it's like, Oh, I wonder where it's like a circle. It's like a cheese cheese wheel or something? Like kind of like, like for Halloween parties.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, like that. It's kind of like,

Murph:

it's okay. It's dressing cheese. Look, dear Lord.

Zac Saleski:

I want to go that far. Okay. It's kind of like oh, okay, it's good. Yeah, that looks good on crack. That was really so good. Christmas Day. It's it's Oh, damn

Murph:

good. You guys. I'm assuming guys by you don't make it. Yeah, we buy. Okay, so like so it is a little bit like the one I think of at parties. It's not a log. It's just like a thing in the middle of a dip. Okay.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, it's just it's like sharp, extra sharp cheese with some like, on the outside. Oh, yeah, I know.

Murph:

I'm gonna give her totally I still do. I remember when we first lived together in college, which was a shit show. But we first live together in college, you introduced me to putting in shredded sharp cheddar and your macaroni and cheese. And I don't think I've ever stopped doing that. And the amount of weight that's why I don't eat mac and cheese as much anymore. The amount of weight I can put on for doing that is insane. But okay, that's a cool little tradition. That's cool. So that's the always the day after or is that like that's,

Zac Saleski:

that's normally with the cheese is usually day after. So it's Christmas day. Okay. And then. Yeah, all the stuff I mentioned previously, that's usually like Christmas Eve. Okay, I just love Christmas Eve because it's like gotta get that sense that there's anything could happen all at once. Such a unique time. It kind of it kind of takes me back to Halloween little bit kind of has that same mentality.

Murph:

I think if we played back the video on the Halloween stuff you would you shitting on Christmas. They're screwed. Oh, it's my only favor. Merv I don't know are talking about a panties in your Christmas.

Zac Saleski:

Hey, that's fine. But if you if you're shoving down Christmas down my throat in like early November, now it's Christmas time. It's October 15. So still Christmas,

Murph:

right? Dude, I feel like the older we get the quicker giggity the quicker Christmas. That's what she said. But the quicker Christmas Yeah. The quicker Christmas Christmas arrives. Like it's crazy because like, Yeah, dude, it's hard to believe we're like the week of right now. Like it's coming in a few days. Like that's the season. Oh, that's right now but like, that's the tricky thing about working. You just get so caught up in work that you don't really Like with school like You're like every every time you come home it's like skipping homework to watch Christmas movies and stuff and now it's just like while it's a bh to go Christmas shopping doing all this stuff and I'm like, being like yeah, at Christmas tree decorate it like all that stuff for like what this is like the the traditions will start to kill you after a while like I need to stop all these.

Zac Saleski:

I yeah, I mean this year like the, from Thanksgiving on it was just just a lot. Yeah, it's a lot to take in

Murph:

a lot. That goes. It just happened so fast all of it and she said that we gotta stop this podcast, but w like she said in the podcast. No, but she said oh, great. Okay, I remember this one came up. I thought I'll wait for this. Wow. Alright. I don't think I asked this one but let me know if I did. favorite gift you've received to date? Christmas Christmas or Christmas gift? Oh, I figured that wouldn't be a thinker. Probably not a good one. I should pre warranty so yeah, we're not we're not sitting here awkwardly. First scream you scream? Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. levels

Zac Saleski:

go up. Yeah. Man, there's

Murph:

I mean, if you want to, if you want to make the question more specific, but I don't really know how I can I could be like football themed, or I don't know, this is our podcast, Maple glaze the mouse.

Zac Saleski:

That's the thing I didn't. It's gonna be really sad. But a lot of things I've asked for in the past like I just don't get so it's like your Lord. So it's like, alright, I had to settle for the violin. I basically, I remember when I was younger.

Murph:

I'm playing violin.

Zac Saleski:

She said yeah. Hey, when I was younger, though, that we had, because how stupid I got this.

Murph:

Man this huge, my little pony has

Zac Saleski:

this huge like, ramp for like, you know like your Hot Wheels cars. Okay, and, and it was his big plastic monstrosity almost. This thing was tall. So it almost like looked like a giant mountain countryside. So like had like little ridges so you can drive your car around on the side and then all the way at the top it had like this. This awesome. Oh, this downward slope. So you basically would go down and had like one little loop and then like go off on this ramp. I thought that was the coolest fucking thing. So that was that's cool. That's cool. That's really cool. Yeah, yeah, that's that's something that was kind of stuck with me because it lasted me for a while.

Murph:

So that's awesome. Yeah, yeah, I didn't realize you played in the Hot Wheels.

Zac Saleski:

Not now. I mean, I was younger.

Murph:

I think they're worth money now. It's hard to believe all that stuff. I can work money right now. Which I love some of that stuff like the Pokemon cards. I regret saying I still

Zac Saleski:

had some of those cast iron ones. I know for a fact to be worth eventually.

Murph:

Oh yeah, for sure. Oh, yeah,

Zac Saleski:

that's what was your favorite?

Murph:

I hate clothes right now. I hate doing it. But I will I'll be the first to admit that I have been very lucky and on top unfortunately it sounds like as as hard as some of the things are growing up in a hockey NHL hockey player world there's a lot of great perks with it one of them being the amazing Christmas gifts I received so like unfortunately my my dad not being able to be around as much as he would like to during the regular season. The Christmas is I don't write the Christmas is we're always big and extravagant. Yeah, so like I'm gonna sound like such a like tell him I don't know. No, no, I just ate it because I there's no way I will match this whenever I have kids because I'm just not making that kind of money. But I mean first ones that pop into my head were like, I got like a bubble hockey table. Like that was really really sick. You know, obviously we had gifts that were awesome that my parents saw about us now that when we're really young, but I couldn't remember but the bubble hockey table thing is the oldest one I can remember I might have been I might have been like seven or eight when we got that. There may be some pictures around there of me in a in a under white undershirt and tighty whities. So not posting on the internet because that's how you get pervs. But, you know, that's how early we used to wake up. You know, I've gotten goalie pads you know, particularly one that was really cool. And I found out I think my my dad played hockey with a guy that had to deal with them. So they just gave me the goalie passes and fit his son, but they were still awesome. They were Eagles which they don't make them anymore. But they were black, Nanda black sorry. They were blue, yellow and red. And I know it sounds like the weirdest color scheme, but they worked perfectly. And then the thing that I will never forget. I don't know how they did it was they put some sort of gloss on them. So they shown in the light. It was like oh, it was almost like the saran wrap them were amazing. I got the matching blocker and glove to go with it. If I can find a picture, we can post it because there were sick. They just don't make pads like that anymore. So they were awesome. No eagles. No, but yeah, eagles used to be my favorite brand. So yeah, that was those were sick. Obviously could find them on on eagles. Stuff like that but

Zac Saleski:

they have good just as good like customs.

Murph:

Oh dude, the ones I wanted for the longest time as we put them together it looks at the eagle swooping down on you. Oh sick. The claws and everything

Zac Saleski:

I forgot about that. I think we played was the NHL. Yeah. Well, I

Murph:

showed you those for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but

Zac Saleski:

those Yeah, those were

Murph:

incredible. They're awesome. So though those were I'll always remember those for a long time. Goalie mask. I've gotten some painted goalie masks which, like when you play hockey goalie goalie mask going back pain is almost a form of art. I'm sure there's some artists on here. That's like, that's bullcrap. But now just the just what they we already talked about the intricacies and it I can't say that they put on things you see right I'm a big Lego guy. So some of the big Lego stuff I've gotten like I got the old was those 18 T walkers.

Zac Saleski:

Oh man.

Murph:

I got the ones that do those if I had no doubt

Zac Saleski:

about your your Lego habit.

Murph:

mean yeah, the ATT Walker. But that one dude if I hadn't opened that those things are with huge money now because they remade them. But people want the old versions. So I already made it. I got like a Millennium Falcon. The old version again worth a lot of money. My mom wants got us the Lego soccer field that can actually play with it. Oh, Lady broken, unfortunately. So we had to throw it out. But yeah, that's like, I know, right? I know, your problems.

Zac Saleski:

I know. You know, it's funny. There's actual businesses now that she sell those individual Lego parts.

Murph:

Oh, yeah. No, yeah, no, I have some of them. Sure. If I sold them, I can make some good money. But I enjoy I enjoy those.

Zac Saleski:

That's like whatever. Because like on the side, sometimes I might like resell stuff. But the one thing I always I always look for Legos because like the Star Wars and Harry Potter ones are always the ones obviously. You can resell even if they're ones I just came out last week. People pay double Yeah, Jersey because Yeah. For the collections. Yes. It's weird.

Murph:

Yeah. So on so and it's hard to find some of them So Dell Yeah. Anyway, yeah. So that though all that stuff is like, you know, from Santa or my parents or whatever been amazing stuff. Technology. I got a car one year like it's just yeah, it's just like, I know it's it's it's crazy. It's it's it was it's been amazing. So I know. Yeah, no, yeah. Well, obviously me and Zack two different lives.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, it's okay. Yeah, but

Murph:

I mean, obviously, unfortunately, that's it's hard to be

Zac Saleski:

re special, buddy. Hey,

Murph:

it's hard to hard to pick one. But But yeah, that's that's crazy. So I guess we should I don't know. Should we mentioned that we did our gift exchange or is that Oh, yeah. I mentioned it. Yeah. So I did one we did one together. We probably should have videotaped it but whatever.

Zac Saleski:

I to me, like, I'm like, Who would want to see that? Except for maybe the reactions called cool. You guys horrible gifts? Yeah. If you guys probably watch it you like okay, this is ridiculous. Yeah,

Murph:

no, it was like pretty, pretty low. Hopefully you didn't spend a lot of money because I spent good money but not a lot of money. So yeah, we're Yeah, it's been pretty

Zac Saleski:

low amounts. Um, I'm fortunate because like, like, I've some people who are on the discord. For my vlog channel. Also to you guys have not yet we do have a patreon. So feel free to do that. We have extra content usually on there. Answering questions, personally, telling extra stories, you name it. But uh, oh, Murph mentioned, I know this can sound really stupid and not original. But it's like, I need protein. Yep, it needs to pre workout. Like, okay, well, basically just got them a whole stack. So I work at like a local supplement store. So I decided to get him. Not just any protein that can add enough protein. I'll show it. It's right here. Oh, yeah. Show the people wanna really, there it is. Butan There we go. That's based out of Canada. Yep. And the interesting thing about like a lot of supplements just in general. I know you guys pray in passing out on this stuff.

Murph:

Sorry, I didn't put that down. Well, the thing is thing thing is massive. You see some of these ones you give me a feeling someone's already taken out and that was like complete that's completely that's gonna survive me a long time. Yeah, people's right. But we overproduced

Zac Saleski:

nice The nice thing about like someone's from Canada like they they're such like a huge regulation on the quality and stuff like that. So whatever leaves the country they have to be tip top shape, you know, like I've used me before they're great. I got a obviously a couple things of pre workout as well as some pump in there through some pump in there. Right get that nice pump. You know what I gotta show it? Yeah, yeah, I can find it. You got it. Got it. Oh yeah. Oh, yeah.

Murph:

This awesome awesome Jack guy on it. So that's what I'm going to be hopefully in five years.

Zac Saleski:

That's very there it is. Yeah, it's

Murph:

gonna be me. Yeah, fully tatted up and just muscle on muscle on muscle. Fan like guy does not look like he just

Zac Saleski:

rich first piano he's dead. Oh, yeah. Okay. He couldn't he couldn't ever get off steroids. So there's that,

Murph:

but they use this. Oh, I mean, they uses image. Oh, because known steroids guy like hey user stuff. It doesn't have steroids,

Zac Saleski:

dude he was doing he was on all kinds of drugs he was like, blow and, and testosterone laterra

Murph:

Oh, yeah. All right. Oh yeah, he okay. And bass really mixed them up.

Zac Saleski:

Well he used to have his own his own vlog and he's like, I remember I saw this video years ago, but he's like, he reached out his doctors like, hey, is there anything that's better than steroids a little bit more healthier? He's like, no, no, you're done. Yeah, screwed.

Murph:

Cheese. Well, anyway, we digress. But yeah, um, so I did get. Yeah. Finish.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, yeah. I just want to say everything worked out. We're gonna kill me. No. Good. Like soon as you see him or if a couple of weeks he's gonna be absolutely massive. Ah,

Murph:

no, but a little bit edgy. But you know tattoos like it's fine. Yeah, maybe? Yeah, exactly. I'll just be yelling the whole time that I don't talk loud enough in this thing?

Zac Saleski:

Well couldn't be like, Oh, boy.

Murph:

Get me some weights. Yeah. What was that family guy? Really big to John Mayer. It'd be alright with that. Oh, my God. Anyway. Oh, so right. So then what I got for Zack Yeah, is a awesome, fantastic holiday card, which we don't have nearby and I can't recite from heart.

Zac Saleski:

And then mind Florinda? Exactly.

Murph:

I use a little German in there since we talk a lot about Germans. I'm still trying to learn it. I'm not very good at it. But we're still trying to learn we offer it right as tecmyer lied. Anyway, didn't use that properly, but it's fine. gets the point across. And yeah, so I got God's got a nice card. God I'm four for bags. Just kind of not too crazy bags. They have the the sugar list candies that are pretty good. Because I know Zach's a big health nut. I'm kind of starting to get into it. It's kind of nice when you can have sweet stuff. That's good, but you don't feel like shit after. So this was definitely at so I got on like, sweetest fish. I know he likes like, what is that? What would you call that? Like licorice ropes or something? I don't know what that thing was called. Like, red vine. Not red. Vines or Twizzlers? And that was a Twizzlers? Yeah. Yeah. And then Sour Patch Kids but there again healthier and insulin. Last one was something else. So I thought four bags was was a good. So those are basically just gummy. Like with less sugar, which you always feel good after you.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah. We used to we used to care those at another supplement store I worked at and they were just like low very low sugar. They probably have sugar alcohols. And other than that, I mean there's like nothing and I'm still really good.

Murph:

Yep. Oh man. Yep, see? And then I know we played a lot of like board games together. I wanted to get Zach a really so I guess followers if you want to get some Zach for Zach for Christmas for all the great stuff he does. It's called was called we looked it up I was trying to find it and I couldn't find it. I have been to like a bunch of Walmart's and targets. I thought we carry it. It was like NFL Blitz. No. Oh, NFL NFL ultimate game day ultimate game day. So really cool board game. We're like plays a football and you play like cards and whatever the defense does the offense does you combine the yardage and that's what they may earn or lose

Zac Saleski:

a turn based things. Yeah, cool. It's a little it's a little classic. I

Murph:

don't know it was hard to find probably gonna be able to get it. So I ended up getting a US parks card game. So it's small pack.

Zac Saleski:

It actually does not sound fun to actually when you look at the package like okay, yeah, it's interesting.

Murph:

Zach's kind of getting more into the outdoors. And I know, like when the weather's nice sometimes means Zach is just hanging out. Sounds kind of weird, but like it's actually fun into the woods. I don't know. Yeah, well, we'll just go to like, public parks in the area and like, check things out. Or obviously, as you'll see on the Zach's YouTube page, we've been getting some abandoned buildings and stuff like that. So like

Zac Saleski:

you've been yelled at by Park routers and all kinds of things. Yeah, so

Murph:

I figured exactly like that. So got them that and it seems like you know worth a try worth worth a try. So we'll see good no guarantees that a bigger one, but we'll go to small one. See if he likes if not go back at the bigger one. If

Zac Saleski:

not, then whatever. Throw it out. Big Man likes little things.

Murph:

There you go. Exactly. But, but yeah, so that was kind of everything I got for him. So yeah, it was good Christmas for both of us. Yeah. Good. Good. Good gift exchange. Like that's what that's gonna be the first time we've done that in a very long time. Well, we got to check other presidents I guess. Yes. Yeah. For the odd occasions here and there. Yeah. Our friendships not built on presence. Just not fun. We're building you having fun over there writing that stuff down.

Zac Saleski:

Yeah, just I'm making I'm making focus Zack for making rocket ships right

Murph:

yeah, I guess I bored you I'm sorry. No, retelling the gift that I got you I'll just go kill myself.

Zac Saleski:

Damn, that was a bad jokes are very special as a really bad joke. Very special medical place.

Murph:

That's fair. Yeah, holiday

Zac Saleski:

holidays. The tough time. Yeah. All right. Well, Yo, yes.

Murph:

I don't know about you. Yes, I watch shitty TV during the holidays. I don't know why I just like to do it. Okay, Netflix. I found Nailed it. Nailed it. Nailed it. Oh, it. Have you seen it? I'm assuming not. No, it's got that. Who's that? Really? She's like really popular. I don't know where she came from the comedian. She's black. I don't know if there's that's the proper term. I think that's the proper term. Okay. She's a little heavier. She worked with John Sina on one of the shows, like splat or something. She seems Nicole something maybe she seems to be popping up everywhere and all this stuff. She's one of the hosts.

Zac Saleski:

I think I know. And actually it sounds,

Murph:

it's garbage TV, but for some reason. It's really I'm really entertained by it. And basically, it's, they have like a mazing French chef, at least he says he's French. He's got an accent, but who knows how good he wasn't France. But he's like a chocolate tea or tea or whatever you call them. And he makes like these really nice cakes or stuff like that. And they get these people that are awful bakers, and they have to try and copy it. Oh, wow. So the disasters they come up with are really funny. So like, for some reason I've been getting into because they have a holiday edition. So I was like this is for some reason. And it is like the most mindless stupidest TV that I'm like, why am I wasting?

Zac Saleski:

That's that's yeah, that's I hate, like trashy TV like that. But that that might be what I'm like, Okay, I

Murph:

would guess it's weird. It's so weird. I don't know. It just, it's weirdly done that you're like, it's not too cringy. And the jokes aren't terrible. But like, I just watched the holiday dish. I didn't watch the normal one. But like, it's just like, yeah, it's and they have like, two seasons of it. I'm like, What the hell? So it's like, it's the weirdest thing.

Zac Saleski:

And you see this and now was it last year? Or two years ago with Eddie Murphy.

Murph:

Yeah, when he summon the demon. That's hilarious.

Zac Saleski:

I think it's right around Christmas time to when they did. Yeah. So it's ironic. He's like, have you seen like, oh, just because it's kind of same premise where they all like they it's a skit where they all make up their own cake since like, he's supposed to make Sonic the Hedgehog. They open it up. And there's like, it just is like this big brown mess. Yeah, it with like someone's dentures and like, he's like, what happened? Well, I I tried. I'm just I'm so bad and so bad at baking. And then he starts talking. He's like, Oh, what did that say? He's like, Oh, I think at some some demon voice trying to drag your soul to hell. Like, you know, he cussed him that he custom that skit. Oh, and he just like, reject themselves like, oh, that's

Murph:

hilarious. The other one too was in the go to the next one. It was like a perfect cake. And like, you least you tried. He did a good job. The other ones the other ones, like his cakes on fire. And they're like, Why did I just burst? And he's like, Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski:

Is that true? Like, yeah, it's just

Murph:

such an awful Baker just have

Zac Saleski:

to so so terrible. It's just so awful. It's so funny. He starts using like, the guy's grandmother's voice. Yeah, he's like, he's trying to trick your your soul to take you to hell.

Murph:

Like, did you see the other one where he's an elf. And they did like an action news thing. And it was like at the disaster at a workshop. And he's like, he's like these polar bears. He's like, he just saw a hole. He's like, the big man's upstairs isn't paying any attention to us. It's polar bears around here picking us off one by one. And they're like, can we get your name? He's like, that doesn't matter. And he was like, refuse. And they'll like keep interviewing other people. And he just keeps barging in with more like conspiracy theories of like, Santa and the elegant.

Zac Saleski:

Spirits theory elf.

Murph:

All right. That's hilarious. Honestly, did not realize because I feel like when we grew up, like he was doing okay, but he was doing too much of his own stuff. Like how funny Eddie Murphy is, uh, you see some of like, the old stuff on SNL that when he was a full time guy there, he was hilarious. True. And then unfortunately, we came in and was like, dying. It was yeah, it was like he would he decided he was going to play five people make jokes. You're like, too much Eddie Murphy's Eddie Murphy to watch. Yeah, to

Zac Saleski:

water down, man. Oh, yeah. But yeah, it's a great so he basically got to that point. That's like, what? Oh, man was that movie? Gee, what? Oh, nutty professor. Yeah. Oh, that's that that was? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, as a kid, I loved it. But it's not like I'm gonna watch it again. No, but it's just something

Murph:

to ignore. But you didn't know. That was bad because he decided to play he played like six characters or something like that. And that one, same thing. Yeah. He's almost like his ego kind of took over and he was just like, I'm the funniest person alive. I'll do but I think

Zac Saleski:

I think the comedians nowadays are just so just political. Yeah, there's they're so scared like to make a certain strew like to make any sort of like certain I guess statement about anything that, you know, you get guys like Eddie Murphy, you just have, they're like, oh, hell with it. Right. They got no chill and they'll just say whatever they want, right? So it's It's so refreshing. And I guess when I was in Germany my first time I remember sitting down there with the coach and we were just like, we would watch movies as we're working. And so like, I remember watching a lot of Eddie Murphy, like in the 80s, like his early stuff, and I'm like, wow, I realize how funny he was. Right? It's like, man, the hell happened, right? But yeah, it's cultural

Murph:

get to you. Just like Happy Christmas cultural.

Zac Saleski:

Happy Christmas, airy

Murph:

gnomes. Yeah, right. All right. Well, we got to get a stick on the theme, so I'll see if we throw another curveball at you. All right. favorite Christmas dessert.

Zac Saleski:

Dessert. Yeah,

Murph:

so this will be a tough one. I know.

Zac Saleski:

You know what I like besides pie and all that stuff, because I to me, it is very Christmassy. That's a no I type pie into like Thanksgiving because usually it's a carryover from us giving the noun but I tell you what. It's I've only come across some good only a couple times where it's really damn good. It's Oh, my God. Oh, those Allman cookies. Oh, like

Murph:

those are? What do you find a good one.

Zac Saleski:

It's like yeah, that's what like the soft ones. Yeah, that's it. Oh, my God. That's a home the taste for so. Let's I use

Murph:

that. They use almond butter that I think do they put like a little bit of almond butter on that I use

Zac Saleski:

some I have to It's good. It's good. But if you find a good soft one with like, a little like a mixture. It's almost like a sugar cookie with all Oh my god.

Murph:

Yeah. So damn, yeah. Okay, I've had too many of those. So that's why I would not put that on my list. But yes, it is hard when you do it's like, you cherish that. Oh, yeah. It's like It's like

Zac Saleski:

bringing the lottery. I think cause a once in a while.

Murph:

You better take exactly. You take you take it. It's not what she said. That's right. No almond cookies. We don't make that joke at all. No, no, no, no. And they're like, not terrible for you either. I think I'm probably the really well I'll keep telling myself that. Yeah, no, you're right. Good boy. We're trying our best.

Zac Saleski:

Well, you Murph What do you love?

Murph:

Well, that's easy. As before throw up No, that's easy. No mom sugar cookies. I know everybody's your mom. Alright, I know everyone's bombs. They good stuff around this year. I don't know how to describe it. Those sugar cookies and I think we've talked about it once before they're cracked up. I'd like the Robin Hood flour I think is like one of the tricks from from Canada that it's so good. Like the then we put like the right amount of icing on it. Like you know the icing sugar that's used and all that stuff like, Dude, I we only do them for the holidays. And it's the one thing I look forward to. This year has been a little bit of a buzzkill because she has not made them yet. We're like and I know I should do them. I'm an adult. But yeah, that those are amazing. Yeah, dude, that's That's it right there. That's all purpose one, but you can get like the Oh, damn. Yeah, that but yeah, that's that's the that's the stuff and you want it from Canada. But that's really, really good.

Zac Saleski:

You know, it's funny, because I think you mentioned this last time I did. And I think someone said, I think it was Mojo or somebody that said, like, you can actually get it in stores. Oh, wow. In a few different places.

Murph:

It's weird. I know. Mojo is gonna be like, your two. I know people are gonna be like, oh, yeah, people are gonna be like, You're too highbrow or whatever. But I'm telling you, I don't know how to explain it. It's different when you get it from the source. Like, what do you get it from Canada. Like, you know, we've gotten we've gotten Canadian and you guys have seen the videos. We've gotten Canadian goods from here from rural world market, and they do not stack up compared to when I get them over there. Like so much so that when I go to Canada, Zack will ask for things for me to bring back like so much so like this is it like they want to make sure like this. Is it like a pride thing? This is a legitimate lead? No, this is like a legitimate I don't know if it's just the way they transport it. It's just isn't as good. Yeah, but like, you know, like, like one of the best birthday things my girlfriend got me a bunch of my favourite because I think she talked to you of my favorite Canadian camera. But I know they're from world market because when I was eating it was just it was just wasn't as good. And I know people are gonna be like, it's a mental thing or like, whatever, but there's nothing right now and I know people gonna be like that big. It's a mental thing. I'll be I shit you not. And um, maybe we should do that one day. We'll do a taste test a blind one between the two. And I bet you I would feel confident in saying 78% of the time we get that right. Like we're willing to bet it is true. It is just different. I don't know you can't describe it here. Like it says different chocolate I get really passionate about it's just weird. Like yeah, exactly. laughs But I shit you not. And I'm getting Zach up there since he finally has his passport. Even just the cat even just the ketchup tastes different because of the quality. So you get like a packet of ketchup from McDonald's and it tastes different. Oh yeah. Like it's the weirdest thing like it's the weirdest thing.

Zac Saleski:

What's the thing like was if you get all dressed chips? Yeah, I'm sorry to hear. Oh, yeah. And what what do you mean? Like, compare that to what's like vinegar with like, barbecue, a

Murph:

little bit of barbecue and maybe pepper. I don't know.

Zac Saleski:

It's like barbecue vinegar and something else like

Murph:

onion or Yeah. But it's, it's amazing. It's amazing. It's amazing. And then

Zac Saleski:

even then, obviously, we ketchup chips. So it's like you sell, you sell, like those kinds of hogs you can I sell them down here. And you think like, okay, it'd be the same were remotely close. No, no, no, it just doesn't compare the taste is so different. Even with the ketchup chips, I still swear by the way they use. Yeah, it's nothing close to delays.

Murph:

And I'm sure we would do a blind taste test and I'd get it completely wrong. But I don't know, I would still I would still, I would still defend it. And I'm sure people big it's a mindset thing, whatever. And maybe they're right. I'm not, you know, a cry. I'm not a psychologist. But I swear, and I guess that's why I got Zach in on it. Like, it just is different. It really is. Like, it just it just is it's like those those arrow chocolates, yeah. Oh, that's even kind of like what, you know, watch out for the YouTube video not you know, hopefully, we're posting soon, but it's even like the, the German audience will get, you know, we'll get some of them from world market because again, for some reason, and fascinated with Germany, but the you know, we'll get we'll get them for moral market. And you know, they'll they'll do their thing and have the German thing on it. But compared to when our awesome viewer send them to us, it just tastes different. It just really does.

Zac Saleski:

That's perfect. Because I'll talk to my dad multiple times about this. It's like, like, once you have German beer, and you come back over here, even if you buy the same brand, it they, I think they carbonated or something and so it just doesn't taste as for transport.

Murph:

It's like it's like, it's like Guinness, like it's like you can get it you get it from the can but it's not the same as when you get it in Ireland when it was you know, freshly done. Not too long when I mean Yeah,

Zac Saleski:

but it's it's like, you know, obviously in Germany, it's all fermented so it's like it just tastes so much smoother and it goes down easier and you're not as hungover like you just just feel better. Yeah, so it's like it's completely different. So but that's that's

Murph:

our Christmas I know this albums right? No, and I know Yeah, do they? Are they like are they like here in Germany? Do they have like special Christmas beers and things like that? Like I know the holidays kind of bigger So

Zac Saleski:

dude, you got some lube on and maybe some seasonal stuff here and there but I think

Murph:

loosens up beer that's why Oh, well

Zac Saleski:

I mean wine Yeah, beard. I don't think so.

Murph:

Okay, I really don't think like here was you guys saw the videos we've done like they have like the Great Lakes Christmas that they only release for this time period and like the Mad elf they only released for this time period. And Sam Adams does something like that. You

Zac Saleski:

can tell we love ours. Our spices. Oh, yeah. Is more found out. He loves his honey and spices. Exactly. See?

Murph:

That's a great Tiktok by the way, I saw that on my thing the other day. I was like yeah, that's my bad. Oh, already for being a dumbass

Zac Saleski:

because we end the podcast now. Right? Yeah, right.

Murph:

Just drop the mic. No, but yeah, just like, obviously America the land of plenty. We have just so much stuff, especially when it comes around the holidays. So many things are done. But yeah, you know what, I'll be shot. I'll say I was shocked. I went to Easton. So he sends our big shopping area here in Ohio. I went to East and the other night left my house at he was like 530 So I would have gotten there around six. Not as busy as I thought it was going to be. Now through staffing shortages. It took me a little while to get some of the gifts I wanted for like someone to ring me up short. Like there was not as many people in the mall and stuff as I thought now I have to quickly run out tomorrow to grab something so I wonder tomorrow for that's when people be packed because now people are starting so I mean obviously it's the same everywhere in the world. Christmas being on Saturday, I'm sure Wednesday's when people will start like taking time off to go do this last

Zac Saleski:

Thursday Friday.

Murph:

Oh boy. Well used to be like that for sometimes true. Yeah. But if especially but the thing I'm excited about is my work is awesome and they're letting us at three o'clock so I think when I get up at 3am to go right there grab the things I need and then come back and hopefully I'm back in time for whatever else I'm doing tomorrow. But yeah,

Zac Saleski:

I'll try to find a tillable man. Put that cookie down now.

Murph:

I watched that a few weeks ago, and I remember like That was funny. She's like, what's your mother doing? Always out petting Ted. The neighbors was they named the deer Ted. It was just hilarious. She's watching. Yeah,

Zac Saleski:

I still love how they call him Howard. Right? Oh, my name is how

Murph:

you have to remind about Oros Watson agar is they liked it so much that like they're like just pretend like he's American people just ignore the accent like what? But it says we yell about America is you gonna have an accent? He won't care.

Zac Saleski:

It's like what Bill Burr said understand what time about it. He's like that man should never made a pass a damn docs. But you know what? He's stuck to it. And he worked his ass.

Murph:

Governor had an illegitimate child just the American dream. Oh

Zac Saleski:

my gosh. Now I'm just trying to find a job. Oh, man, right. Oh my gosh. I still say like booster booster. I every time I go the gym. There's a buddy of mine that that still? Like he's watches. He always like recites one liners to me. But he always tells me that he's like, no one likes you booster. Jeez, how about you? What's your? Oh, well, I

Murph:

mean, I do not have that. Like, oh, that depth of an answer. Oh, yeah. But the I think the one that I would say every Christmas that I have to watch. There's a ton of them. But I think one would just be Christmas vacation. Oh, it's a big one. My family watches on Christmas Eve. And it's like, like, we are a goofy family. And that's what we like to watch. Like before amaze origin all

Zac Saleski:

the way came out. That was like my number one, right? It still is it just like,

Murph:

it's just good. And the funny part is, no matter how many times I watch it, I can almost recite the whole movie. It's like, it just moves so quickly. It's so good. Like, it's hilarious. And I feel like every time I watch it, the more mature or perverted or whatever you want to call it. I get the funnier things get that I start to catch things. Like, like that one. Part one. Like it's funny as a kid you don't realize things like the one part I wrote as a kid was like, showing off the underwear just like pulls up her leg and oil lines. And it is like see rest no lines. I don't like at the time I was a kid. I'm like, oh, no, I'm like, That's hilarious. Like, I don't know. It's just like, it's like shit like that, that you just kind of get to understand you don't

Zac Saleski:

realize two years. You know, early like two years ago, I just found out that Ross was the guy on Big Bang Theory. I told you that like years ago. Yeah, but still it was weird to find out. It's like

Murph:

Ralphie from Christmas stories. One of the guys in elf the head elf like guys. Yes. Their elf is alright which elf is another high one for me actually haven't seen it yet, but I got to watch it this year. Watch that one. Oh, yeah. seen the movie? Yeah, I got to watch that one this year too. I have just unfortunately my list is long but for the sake of the viewers, I'll cut it down to one and I'll go with that one

Zac Saleski:

Murphy's behind.

Murph:

Yeah, we Oh, no, not behind. I just I'm more meant like the list is long movies. I enjoy watching. Oh, that also season right? Yeah, well, no, no, no. No, I'm also a really big and I think I've said this in previous podcasts. A Christmas Story fan. I really don't know. Yeah, because no Christmas Carol. Sorry. Because, so like, I keep trying to read the original Charles Dickens book, but I just don't make the time for it. I was gonna say fine, but I'm not gonna lie to myself. I just don't make the time for it. I'm too busy watching. No to be rushing, nailed it. Just like, you know, just the way my world goes is I graduate college pretending like I was all all cultured and shit. And now I'm watching nailed it on the night before I go to sleep instead of reading a classical book. But anyway, what happened? Enter, right. So I watched a lot of movies based around that like even like just just all over the map without like, drink all the way so that like to 25 days of Christmas on free forum is like that is why usually in my bosses and listen to this, usually the month of December, I'm not as productive as I need as I should be. I won't say need as I should be because I have Christmas movies on in the background while I'm working. And most of the time, I'll cut out 3040 minutes and watching a movie. Like it's yeah, it's bad. It's bad. But you know, productive? No, not at all. Not at all. Be productive to my movie list. Not to my job. Which Fair enough? Honestly, I probably would get me fired. There's lots of people out there. Yeah, lots of people out there that probably work harder during this time than I do and deserve jobs. But I work hard in the times that people don't work hard. So that's how it works. But no,

Zac Saleski:

I'll give you one that I'll throw a little curveball. All right. I like it. What is

Murph:

this? I keep throwing all the curveballs at jack shit. Alright, when you contribute,

Zac Saleski:

or you dig what is uh, what is your favorite? I guess Christmas. Special TV special? Not very many.

Murph:

I don't even like can you give me an exam? I don't even know if I'd like know of any. Can you give me example? Oh, I know. I know. We've been on these impasse podcasts.

Zac Saleski:

But I guess you could talk about maybe TV like episodes or something like that. Like let's

Murph:

say I can't say I have to I guess the only one that comes off the top my head that maybe counts would be like I was gonna say SpongeBob like those are good ones. But I don't remember all of them. But that has some good ones like true like the one I can remember specifically was like, he had like, like, I don't remember they like start a snowball fight and they got like really crazy and like, like it was just years ago though. I don't remember everything around him. I remember they did that. And then that was at Squidward got caught left alone, and a snowball fight fighting himself. Like I think that was a Christmas one over. Obviously though. I think if I'd had if I had to choose, I would say this is a very general one, which you and the viewers are gonna hate. I think I like the Nickelodeon ones better than the Disney ones. If that makes sense. Okay, also like Rugrats. You know, like, What else was there? The Wild Thornberrys I know it sounds that's a really weird reference. But like, Yeah, but like even though like I liked those Christmas ones over I guess I didn't really watch many Disney shows. But the ones I watched their like their Christmas ones were very sappy. I wasn't very into them.

Zac Saleski:

It's hard. Yeah, very difficult.

Murph:

So like the Nickelodeon ones that kind of meshed with the enmeshed with the the and I could be wrong. I'll probably watch them and be like, I was full of shit. Sorry viewers. Like it like mesh and mesh the storyline pretty well. And then I think that Disney's ones were because the Disney Parks is what they cared about was like true make it Christmas for the Disney parks and so was just very randomly Christmas and you're just kind of like, okay, I know what I mean. Yeah, like, yeah, I don't know.

Zac Saleski:

I get it. Yeah, it's a little things.

Murph:

Yeah. All right. What Alright, then since you asked the question, then, you know, yeah, well, you asked, you know, there's gonna be no reciprocating Yeah, exactly. No,

Zac Saleski:

um, man, there's like, there's not very many that I'd say like, Okay, this was the best one I've ever seen or anything like that, um, even even years past, I mean, if you look at recess, recess was okay. I guess I would probably lean on Arthur because they had this awesome like, because like, there's awesome episode where like, oh, they had to like, they were snowed in they had to go out to like, get extra supplies for the snowstorm and then like, they barely made it back. And it's a whole thing, but it was like, okay,

Murph:

cool. You just, you just leave me your bitch on that.

Zac Saleski:

But there's one that's still the reason why I asked the question because there's one thing that still stands out to me when I was younger, and my mom actually like recorded this was the the old like Sesame Street. How

Murph:

like to get there. Chris Barney guy can't be there. Oh,

Zac Saleski:

Christmas Special. This was Oh man. This had been maybe 80s Okay, so my mom like so I would watch it like right around that season. And I was just so like, as a young kid, I was so like, flabbergasted like just trying to like, comprehend. I'll cover everything. Well, because like they start out the first Damn. The first day him, like seeing they open up with is like They start. They play valise NaVi dot All right, and there's people that are just like, oh, you know, they're they're ice skating right? And and all the characters are ice skating even fucking Oscar the Grouch who's in a damn can ice skating. So I'm trying to figure out what is happening. So the characters with skates on their feet on like, an easy street on

Murph:

ice. Basically,

Zac Saleski:

any scene is giant as nine foot Big Bird just like roll Yeah, I'm just wanting someone to like just to check them in the boards.

Murph:

See your hockey fan before you knew it?

Zac Saleski:

Honestly, I was confused right? But but the thing that still sticks out to me to this day I hate to spoil it but it's old look at what

Murph:

you just point yeah,

Zac Saleski:

there's this part it's like

Murph:

saying the Titanic sunk up here we're like wait what like whoa yeah,

Zac Saleski:

wait so boilers I guess like basically trying to like water down so basically like big birds like determined to like find out if Santa is real he's so he's gonna like catch him. So he so big we're trying to just like sit up like on top of like the building so he catch a glimpse of Santa and like

Murph:

a bird is the building of this so I'm gonna really big bird sitting on kind of job no busy like he's trying to be stealthy it's like what's that second chimney sitting on this roof? Oh wait that's big bird.

Zac Saleski:

See the yellow chimney yeah right now I do for the last like seeing still like I don't know why like like haunted me at the time but it's just been Burke's like sitting there all night just like snow is coming down and it's like his face is frozen over and then it just kind of it almost it'll sound like at the very first like

Murph:

dining when you see him the next morning and he's all like frozen over and very similar

Zac Saleski:

to their Lord so it's like it just slowly panning out and then you just hear this like really slight like bells like jingling from like Santa

Murph:

Santa is coming yummy doesn't like it doesn't shock you like oh man she's here the velscope

Zac Saleski:

but then the I think pan out and then big words like still asleep and the next you know I guess Santa like parked on one of the buildings into here just like little roughly

Murph:

like like the oh yeah yeah yep.

Zac Saleski:

So it just like you know like you see like this shadow across like Santa is like standing in front of big bro for me. I was like, holy shit. To me. I'm like all stealthy someone's about to die.

Murph:

It's just getting poned just

Zac Saleski:

kill shot. It's like that thing I was like, Dad this is creepy for

Murph:

Santa pray that Big Bird was a turkey for Thanksgiving next year. Something

Zac Saleski:

more to do up here.

Murph:

Right? That I could tell that that made an impact on you. You were so thorough and that description like asked me that question because my answer was some bullshit like Nickelodeon yours was like Santa's crept up on Big Bird all stealth like seal 26 on Osama Bin Ladin. Seriously like you got you do you talked about the crunching the snow made like

Zac Saleski:

it's still meddling with me man. I hate it a

Murph:

velvet picture of this velvet. Dear Lord that got real descriptive ever

Zac Saleski:

for rail for tough,

Murph:

I was actually like, I'm sure I was like mouth gaping like I was into it. I was like damn, I'm see I am getting ready. I will show you could write a book on that. Like that was I will show you vivid imagery right there.

Zac Saleski:

I know it's on you. I will show you the end because Oh, it's creepy.

Murph:

Oh, no, no, I totally like I'm just trying to explain to you did so. Well. narrating that that like I feel like I watched it like oh, like sitting with you like that's my news. That's my new answer. Like that's it like that's it like yeah, like, I guess I go fuck myself like that. Was it right there? Like

Zac Saleski:

was it Game Grumps Game Grumps take the shot? Yeah. Just the Berenstein Bears. Just take it right do that's one that one talks about though.

Murph:

Apparently bears? Yeah, I never saw I never watch that,

Zac Saleski:

man. They do. Yes.

Murph:

That sounds right. Yeah, I think I saw maybe one episode to Arthur by never really like

Zac Saleski:

Yeah. Early. Yeah. So it's they weren't bad.

Murph:

Was it here in the US or was I just see it in Canada was the the bananas in pajamas.

Zac Saleski:

Oh, I was here to okay, I

Murph:

thought that was Yeah, yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's the weird that's I mean, I'm sure lots of people blowing me up for this one but that's the funny part. I always try to try to tell people's it feels like Canada kind of go is like always a little behind the TV. Like I don't know what it is like watch watch TV at night. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Whoa, original Canada stuff. Amazing. Yeah, I mean, I you know, I got you into I got you into Letterkenny like stuff like all Amazing. However, if it's an American show when it's like reflected in Canada, just the quality is kind of weird and like it seems like it's always really far behind. But it's, it's interesting.

Zac Saleski:

I'll do you one then. How about red green?

Murph:

Oh my gosh. Yeah. Oh, that's like, that's a Canadian icon pretty much right there.

Zac Saleski:

Red Green Man. That's basically just a Canadian one egg putting things together. I hate to

Murph:

say it. heartache. didn't watch them that much. I know. I only know him based on reputation alone. I can't say I've seen many of his episodes

Zac Saleski:

here. They were usually on like Friday nights. Yeah. So and like everyone went on people were watching TV. Yeah, yeah. TJ Yeah. So they were always like, play him on. I think he's Russia. PBS usually picked what TJ if the Russia? No, yeah, yeah. Oh, tgis.

Murph:

Asian, Asian Asians love TJ Yeah, I didn't know that. TGI Fridays are racist. Oh, yeah.

Zac Saleski:

But no, like, it's like whenever TJ if stuff like that whole programming was on they would always play on PBS. And, and basically if you guys don't know what, you know, red green show is it's like this hilarious. You just, oh, it's like this. So stereotypical Canadian. Yeah, like backwoods Canadian just like always doing like some kind of crazy stuff like putting things together that shouldn't be together. I don't think

Murph:

it spoilers but he just wore a red and a green suspender. Like that's that's nature's called Red Green.

Zac Saleski:

That's like, but the guy was so funky is hilarious. He's like

Murph:

backwoods Canada. Like that's what you that's what you'd find out the Yukon and like all that stuff. Oh, sorry to those of you go on. But yeah, that's yeah, it's

Zac Saleski:

it's better for Canada. Listen to this. We're good. Right. Is there a fair one first?

Murph:

That's like out west. Yeah. No, it's It's yeah, that's yeah.

Zac Saleski:

I remember like, watching him like on Friday nights is great. Even the Christmas specials are great. Yeah. Damn, Well, shit,

Murph:

right? Do we do we seem like posers or do you? Like, do you ever wish you had strong Canadian traditions? Like, I was always slightly jealous of like, for example, like Latin American culture they had what was it the we learned in Spanish class and all that, like the cake that had a little baby Jesus in it, that they do like the Oh, yeah, they do. Like in that party. I was always like, and I think what is it in France that they like, put orange in their stockings? I forgot about that. So like, I was always kind of jealous that I never had those. Yeah, right. We never had like those traditions here in the US. But I guess that's also what makes it fun. You make your own traditions. But like, yeah, like, there's not like culturally don't really have that kind of stuff.

Zac Saleski:

Well, I thought we were special when, you know, we used to drive around, you know, little suburbs of Missouri and just look at Christmas lights. But then he were like, Oh, we do that. We do that too. You actually did you thought you're special? I thought was younger. Yeah. Like that's pretty cool. Because everyone just goes they go to church to go eat and they're done.

Murph:

I hate to be rude, but it's kind of hilarious. He thought that because like, well, that's why they put the lights up. Like I know.

Zac Saleski:

Like a Christmas Eve you're like, Okay, we'll just drive around. Around. Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. I was like, that was our own thing. But, but then like, like, the next week, you talk to your friends like, oh, we do the same thing. Like, you know what? Fight, fight, fight fight.

Murph:

I'm not mad fight. Fight Fight.

Zac Saleski:

budget. Budget dicks, right. Imagine budget eight year old saying that budget budget decks. So use me.

Murph:

For everyone a new in my life. He would be the person to do that. Eight years old.

Zac Saleski:

You cannot call eight year old asshole. Right? Yeah.

Murph:

You gotta dig. He's gonna call me. Suddenly, I'm that guy. Right? Exactly. I get back from school. I don't. 28 years old. Suddenly Synlait kicked me out. Right. So like, yeah, teach anymore. Don't call eight year old assholes. And you can't teach anymore. I don't get it.

Zac Saleski:

Struggled man. It's rough out here in the streets.

Murph:

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Gang gang areas. Right.

Zac Saleski:

And anything else you got going on with Christmas? Ah, man. Well, I

Murph:

guess for those that I guess update? Yeah, those that haven't seen it or keep up with it. Because of the current climate we live in and COVID problems. The NHL season, most of the teams have stopped their games until after Christmas. So my dad comes home. I don't know when you're gonna play this. I'll just say tonight. So we're doing this on Tuesday. So he's coming home tonight. They had practice tonight. True. Yep. And then my brother, unfortunately, will not be able to come home until Thursday or Friday. One of the two well, I should say, well, not obviously. Girlfriend, Chicago. They want to do a Christmas thing before he comes back because she can't come because she lives in an officer's Chicago. She's a nurse. So she she works. Usually Christmas Eve or Christmas day because I think she's orthodox. So they have their Christmases like a week later. So yeah, so she usually works on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day because they get paid more nursing. So she's doing that so she will not be coming with us.

Zac Saleski:

boyfriend still still works. Oh, that's good.

Murph:

I respect that good. Actually, as a matter of fact, I've been told a lot of the Blackhawks girlfriends and wives have dropped. It's kind of becoming a big thing. No, good. So actually, I really, I mean, there's nothing wrong with it. My My mom was, I just like to call it a home engineer, but stay at home mom. And I think it's very, you know, I see the importance of it when you have kids. But I also do respect the women that have jobs and do things Iver as much as the hockey players make, they want their own identity. So I respect that I

Zac Saleski:

respect women who actually, like have goals. They want to achieve it. Yeah. And they're like, yeah, like, my, my guy does this, that's great. But I got my own thing I want to do exactly. That's respectable.

Murph:

Or I can understand if it's like, my mom, and it's a meeting of the minds and they're like, you know, my dad's like, I'm gonna be busy doing all this work. You know, I need somebody at home taking care of things while I'm gone. So like, yeah, I respect all those. I do not like the trophy wives that that stuff kind of annoys me. Like, you can tell when you talk to them. I will be they have nothing going on between between the years. And they're just, you know, they're just there and they married to be rich. Like, I understand you want to you know, you want to marry to have a good life, but sometimes that stuff annoys me where I'm like,

Zac Saleski:

yeah, no, come on. But anyway, when I see that stuff started dying,

Murph:

I don't think it ever will. Because unfortunately, in some there will always be Yeah, you don't

Zac Saleski:

know. But you go out it was pretty prevalent. Like, yeah, late 90s. Oh, very. Yes.

Murph:

But I mean, obviously, it's always gonna be big. And, you know, Eastern countries, Russia, mail order brides and all that stuff like, you know, such poverty to get out, don't you? Right, yeah, just want to get out. But, but yeah, but that's, yeah, that's kind of nice. But anyway, the season is suspended until while not suspended. But a lot of the games are done until after Christmas. And then I guess I just saw on one of my social media feeds, and I was told this is probably gonna happen is the NHL players aren't going the Olympics anymore. went, Oh, wow. So that, of course will hit hurt the Winter Olympics. Me being a hockey fan, which is kind of a nice part is just loving the game is I will probably still watch some of it. But probably after a while I'll just get bored not want to watch it anymore. Because they'll just send like players are playing in Europe. So yeah, I guess like the NHL, NHL players aren't going to go over anymore. Is like at least what I'm hearing and what I've been told and what I'm seeing, I don't know if it's officially been announced. But well, yeah, that's that's gonna suck for the Winter Olympics. I mean, obviously, being a hockey fan. Winter Olympics is kind of a big Olympic for me. I like I like it but bobsledding skeleton and all that stuff like, like yet. Daniel Tosh made a good joke about it. Because Winter Olympics is the only time that I follow like bobsledding or stuff like that. That like I'd never would pay attention to. It's exciting, though. Oh, it's awesome. Yeah. But, but yeah, so that that's disappointing, but

Zac Saleski:

yours out there.

Murph:

Wow. Nice pond. Nice. 595. Nice. Right. Nice. Nice. Well, you know, hopefully nobody repeats George's fiasco. Yeah, that was bad. Anyway, so while we're Yeah. Right. No, other than that, that's kind of that's kind of it in that world. And then I guess the other one will be in. I'm sure we will do a podcast. Yeah, positive. We'll do a podcast before then. But New Year's Day, they do the outdoor game. So for all of you while it's hockey fans, I hope you've marked it on your calendar. I have been very fortunate enough to go see one live. We can talk about that when we get closer to it. But yeah, they are amazing things a witness. I usually

Zac Saleski:

normally I don't care for anything these big, like, kind of, I guess bloated? You know, corporate type,

Unknown:

like sports. Okay, sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's a little sassy.

Zac Saleski:

But because especially, especially with NHL, they tend to like oh, man, we're very bad. Yeah, but the fact that they decided we're gonna have you know, hockey games outside. Great idea. I love more.

Murph:

I think the Canadian ones called it the heritage one or whatever is a little more historical and a little like, this one that they do the NHL throws is kind of a newer thing they've done yeah, but you do like they do such a great job paying homage to the creation of hockey and the old school vibe of it that it's amazing. And this year, which is very exciting is and I'm sure there's gonna be some triggered things. It's taking place in Minnesota. They're playing out of the twin Stadium, which in Minneapolis, which I'm super pumped about, because, unfortunately, the the state of even though people in Detroit, Michigan and other places will disagree, but I will unfortunately have to say Minnesota is a hockey stay like oh the way like no, do you guys ever get the free moment? Check out their high school state Hockey Championships. They pack NHL arenas to watch this stuff. They also have a really great guy. I don't know what his name is. He actually commentates for some reason all the high school kids grow their hair out and try to grow mustaches. Because before the games, they introduced them that they skipped the Blue Line they stopped so they try to wave their hair do funny haircuts later. It's called the flow league or something. It's hilarious. But I, I shit. You know, the Minnesota is like, Well, my brother said this when he played it with a few guys from Minnesota. It's a different culture out there. They're kind of weird, but the way they cherish hockey is insane. And like, every place you go to Minnesota because it's so bitterly cold. And it can be awful winters. But they all have outdoor rinks. They're like, I think it's what is it the land of many lakes. There's like their title. And it's like, I wasn't like, yeah, I almost went to a school out there. They're called the imagery state. And they are, they're on a lake. And I have a buddy that went to school in Minnesota and said, yeah, the lake freezes over and all the college kids will go out and just play hockey on the lake. Like, it is such a big cultural thing there. And even though they're more pay homage to like Sweden and like Finland, because that's where a lot of the move to Minnesota. They emigrated over they the hockey culture, they're just amazing. Also, the head coach for the 1960s Miracle on Ice team. Yeah, soda guy. They actually pay tribute to him her Brooks, but I'm excited for it. I think it's I love the show, right? I love when the NHL picks the best city Thank you. I love not NHL picks the right cities? Is one of them. That'd be

Zac Saleski:

awesome. When there's like proper thinking behind it. Like that historical like

Murph:

oh, yeah, it's

Zac Saleski:

and it makes it happen.

Murph:

I know you're gonna kind of hate this. Oh, it's the only relatable thing I could do for hockey. Oh, they're playing the blues. So, which is kind of a rivalry which is really cool. So it's gonna be it's a good game.

Zac Saleski:

Alright. Blues are a hockey team NHL hockey

Murph:

I addict energy rose.

Zac Saleski:

Listen, you are born. When you when you are baptized. You are baptized in Kansas City. Like alright, you don't like St. Louis and St. Louis really doesn't care for you. And that's just kind of how it goes. It's like, like yeah, they have another sports team that cancelled he doesn't great whatever. Screaming for years. We got to get one I would

Unknown:

love it sounds for a second.

Zac Saleski:

I know city was way too small then Right? They nowadays I think they could handle it but man if Kansas City ever got a hockey team I would be there in line getting on I'll get the merch everything. I'd be there. Oh, man. Just

Murph:

Zac Saleski:

Well, you on top of it.

Murph:

I try. Yes. What I've been told I need Yes. So you know, yes. And read the dictionary. Good. Back. Down. Yeah, try.

Zac Saleski:

So, honestly, I mean, I guess my brother's been here the last couple of days. So, but kinda have been able to spend time with more, my nephew, which is still weird to say to me about all that. Like, I just kind of feel weird about that. Cuz I'm like, I'm not sure. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

Murph:

You'll get there. But I'll just wait. Do your Christmases are about to be amazing with that little guy? Oh, do Christmas for the kids. I'm starting to learn like Dude, that's the excitement and the Santa's and all that dude. Like, I'm not ready to have any my own but I'm so pumped to experience that's neither. Yeah.

Zac Saleski:

So just to watch other people. Oh, exactly. Yeah, but it's it'll be it'll be much better. I think for brothers belt to go down to see my mom and deal with that. And then I guess I've spent Christmas together. I'll be up here with my dad. As far as I know.

Murph:
