the latvian traditional melted down led an thorn in new bucket that's right then

happy holidays what comes to your mind chris
i will say that christmas comes to mind but i'm a fourth of july man myself is the perfect holiday for me fireworks summer bonfires doesn't get any better than that
gal moran colleen
yeah
i enjoy holidays but i like him for the time off that's so
if you liked the ones that include some time off yeah where i can go hunting and fishing
i read you some cooking and laundry and whatnot i also wish that everyone who heard this right now could seek out
girls gotta elf get up on
with big ears analysis having to cede dvd us out of chronic ways and in conversation with counters two things to me one
this is hardly like argue with someone dressed up as a l to imagining the cow had all these reindeer friends and the
his community was being annihilated by some of
and the ways in which that was imperative emotionally
your backyard but over a mine
so i do think that too i like their ideas like you
necessarily need to hear christmas or hanukkah whatever when somebody says a happy do it she is more like a gear
enough of a shit about you to say i hope you have a good time doing whatever their war you could start doing is san
if you have some time off hope you enjoy it
i'll go outside gives giant rita hayworth enjoy your whatever time off you might begin from work this out that after unfilled
yeah i i think of christmas i grew up with christmas love the smells the food the lights yes i see
my favorite holiday when someone says happy holidays or what am i think of authority georgia winner sources you i don't one you mark any yet you stole my thunder there
kenyan or you want to say next march engineer yeah i'm a faint at christmas
and being mary for whatever you want to celebrate but i'll say that about christmas what i think it's got over a lot of other fourth of july type holidays is the music
i'm a christmas music man debbie your year of billy joel man yeah i got pigeonholed into that unfair that billy joel man you want to know the the rest of my there
we are talking about using you i know what i hear the piano man
that's the noise that enters my head when you talk about music now that i know you're billy joel man here's the thing that point where we said mark what do you like remarks that i like billy joel and that is not true that if i do recall though you listed off a whole bunch of billy joel songs just as many as i could produce during that conversation
you're back and also lose my enemies fair enough
this like the axis powers do world war to whom you like on christmas music
greece is not like this i mean i'm with you mark that you samuel way it was your favorite christians artists
the billygoat now frank sinatra
they are being now opening craftsman mile these worlds and more of our mile man love because while we have time to allow the low sinatra bright eyes blue eyes are really call right now not a bad ban but
well blue eyes probably never wrote a thing he never wrote a thing he dislike would interpret people's songs whatever that means he did it his way steve did that's very true sam hi my name's sam
i'm sorry i'm on the show first on the show very now
my we're only those the first time he added when i think of holidays i think of christmas we our typical catholic family went to church every chris
the blue coming you now i dont get gifts for anyone for christmas you you
like you know you want to strip the commercialism right out of it yeah notices
not really a good gift give her so i
really wanna give a gas that everyone's just gonna hey anyways knows good but this
i'm gonna make money i should just
i'm going to make turkey from my dear this year
you know my brother made for everybody for christmas this year he bought a thing to make i think he makes fifty tubes at a time and he makes dear fat chopsticks
good idea with all natural seventy percent dear fat got bees wax and various oils like essential oils and he doesn't believe in essential oils but said he use it for his chapstick and it's a wonderful product and he's able to make fifty at a time and a special little tube holder he's got this stuff is
are these foresail anyway he's not selling them and he didn't put glycerin in it he saw
or about the shell stability that's it that's it got there there's a ethical
the listener glass or something of food safe
deserved we use it make trap and ate like you could start you take some meat catmeat whatever
it down and import glycerin and to stop the rock and the members of food safety
he's not using it so i know about the shell stability dear tallow chaps dick bedewed you put this on your lips is goods
ask me the utter render it dear annoying rendered it s a wonder he rendered it i'll put the bees wax near puts mathematics and air all natural
i can deal with it like oh yeah it's like the tom and jerry's chapstick man how is that not in the meat eater store right now
seems like something we absolutely need to have well i think there's probably some kind of fd a component to it what does tom and jerry's of chapstick mean all how they they
i got polyglot real simple ingredients
i've been in jail engineers at their uncle times the order was deodorant
times are made from my using terms of main where the famous book uncle times care of my kids we recently really at any time and ours you know those guys jeff you know
but maybe it's even briars who is it as they make a big deal out of his any ice cream
it is probably ben and jerry barlow started out we're gonna make some drinks korean war we're going to have was our holiday drink
the special holiday special our holiday drink is eggnog we're going to use our meat eater straight bourbon whiskey and and i'm going to basically dump all the ingredients into our western blender and it's going to be like a five minute nuggets and
from scratch from scratch roy eggs raw dry eggs nutmeg cinnamon half in half heavy cream milk sugar and are an hour bourbon
we're regards asian before we get started in incurs you make this drink is it
i know from reading tom robbins
what is the one that has the tar sands in tom roms novel
where he's going it's like tarzan is triphaena nutmeg
any encounters jesus in the desert
sounds crazy i know the drug reference for malcolm x because when malcolm gets thrown in the clink like his can a mentor
in there gets him a level headed on nutmeg and warns him it's it's the only don't ask him for it again oh okay yeah ah it trips you out it's electric and robitussin right i dunno but
read up on feel how much nutmeg maybe get eat trip this christmas
this holiday season thing is not actually a lot but a little bit
that goes a long way if you ve had it and so p
there's a i looked it up people of theirs history if people trippy i'm a nutmeg at least since the length of the fifteen hundreds is the first document it again
a woman a ten nutmegs nuts not magnets
felt and somebody already trip and on pilgrims came to america he had
and so the reason is that there's a there's a compound and called mirror station which and gets turned into a drug called m m d aid
which if that sounds familiar no there's a it's gotta very close relative called m dna which has ecstasy so near by
processing at it change them changes the merest eisen and into this always energetic drug so yeah
it's ok so you're magazine nutmeg gap
a jar of
its holiday season you bakers i'm not making a jar the little nuts the mags
how many those eat eat before you're
where you eat all your your aunt has like a snake coming out of her nostril or or something like that i'll if it looks like a probably probably about two or three to really
i feel it is their right yeah so that's a lot of class or drone by that point in time so anyway at ten that makes i mean
yeah it's a lot about gmos aggregated gmos that had a cow put edna off do you
eat them or do you snort them or you smoke them i am asking for a friend it's it's just eating you just grind it up so i mean so there there there are documented cases of of of kids just
downing jars of ground nutmeg try to get one i got one i got one right now i'm gonna take an an ok well we'll update throughout the podcast see how you're doing
yeah that's gotta be very difficult mealy
yeah yeah i'd have to snort
i'm so yea mind you will feel a little deaf when no one that's why you're ways not wasted on christmas eve
grand out so you are you a little bit by king i kicked off the worn vomiting comes with the high grade
it's hopefully they think is non toxic like there's only been one documented death from eating too much nutmeg and it was from an eight year old kid who ate i think three just three nutmeg and died but that sounds like it might have been something else
we're not as what was a doll daisies and when i have no i don't know
question we had is what's up with them
no gone awry eggs because member chips and i know you don't remember chips
i am aware there are motorcycle ships ships but there's a part of most episodes
where either poncher john i can't remember would drink it was like a stick it's yiddish i think critters at yiddish stick yep that's the dish trying to keep multicultural here shtick was to drink a glass of eggs you guys remember this you do
how did you avoid being sick all the time so a really raw eggs domain and the one that makes magnet speaker so there people think that it can
the egg whites can block absorbed absorption
vitamin b seven on the that's not a really high concern the main concern is actually just salmonella that's the only thing that people are concerned about rags is that and is just the higher iq higher chance of salmonella
the nutmeg and my mouth is ruining my christmas special class gaza jo leinen rudeness told us that he ate right eggs for years that's how
you didn't listen i don't exactly our argued and as our chips does and i actually don't think that it does make you sick because my mom
when i was a little boy
made our own that was one of our traditions
was the rags nor ever got sick
kind of tradition was that in ignoring our ignorance
there are no should make egg logger right yeah dislike for christmas eve should make ignored
our eggs the noon we didn't all just sit around puking en masse in our brain
you go to a nice restaurant you have steak tartare raw egg in that yeah good point sam any thoughts about that well that's just the raw yolk i thought it was the egg white that was the issue oh the egg white is the thing that might block absorption of vitamin
but that's an issue either way quicker and quicker correction while we while he was doing get made countless pertains you do that
in keeping with the holiday how they theme here we have a cracked
come from our friend he sent has informed the christmas card where doctor and sent in a correction and i told him if he could to try to make it fit with our christmas episode that he could give it a christmas theme so he
the eu including it as a gift and it has to do with
his annoyance when people say
particularly when i always say cut corn meaning
i was hunting out any cut cornfield or
what are they gonna cut that corn so here's dogs correction which he sent to us
as a nice little audio files in dark
i point out in the entire history of this show and the entire history of this program only one person is that true jani
only one person has ever been given call in credentials i believe that to be true doktor yeah here is a steve its character and calling to wish you your family
mediator gang merry christmas happy new year and a prosperous twenty twenty look for the next time we're together i also called make little correction cut corn don't like that expression its incorrect it sounds foolish ah corners either chopped pit or shelled when its harvested what's left in the field is corn stubble corn fodder or even more correctly corn stolliver the stubble is the stuff that's left when it they chop it off and the fodder and the over is the stuff that's left when they just take this the ears of corner the shelled corn
so please in the future can you make that correction got me pulling my hair out thanks and happy holidays can't count when you heard that i i know where he emailed that initially emailed that complaint i felt that you rolled over like a dog
also did you read my response yeah you said never again in my life or something like that no
i know i said he said please in the future like make this correction and i said i will not
i then i am going to stand by cut corn so he said
kelso never in my life authority
other he rolled over like a dog than men never in my life will i use that phrase again no no i meant i'm sticking by category
oh i see i could accept capitulated i capitulate
now like man he's right what do i know i'm no farmer and are not an end
i call them to hear him out on it and
be driving around someone's got quite egg background and they were
isn't it on my call a dog and he says well it was not concord i don't know what the hell to examine call it that my entire life and this guy knows his way around a cornfield
and i noticed too and dogs thing he catches if you
listen carefully until you can patches in
dogs forming a sentence any there's a slight pause he's like
and when they get done
shopping majority businesslike bonds gesine almost i'd like the more or less to the more catch it here
almost says cut but corn but
corrects himself
swings biogas bill the stubble is the stuff that's left when they travel
love
there are already ways now it's now it's like
by this place already smells
poison smell does go
folks and for some reason i can picture is somebody miss and a finger and you're like hey what happened to your finger they all
cut off no actually going hears jonathan things left is the stolliver instead of a job for you know i think that began
yeah give your theory about outward dogs come from an island
more tolerable of dog morrell of jani
moreover a little pause in that sense too
maybe it isn't just how
random theory that i just thought of five minutes ago is that maybe dogs thinking as because we're dog comes from
they alone region there around cause no view inside a population of three hundred eighty five year end like half of amr dirt and
like you said earlier either there's cousins around a he doesn't even know that exist
and these get roads named after him near maybe just there in their region its new jobs court because if you like he could say this in my family
we say chop court because there'll be synonymous with in my community
hmm
jeez doug you're a guy what do you mean everybody's built as well yeah areas by these people are small
on the first day of christmas my true love gave to me the crock pot
second day of miss my luggage
the
day of christmas my true love gave to me
drivers to present their level
man you ve enunciation is not good do you know what they're saying could breasts
tripped out about the one the coupe raised which is wrong with the reservation clear hats after the choir on us really good thing
nowadays in the choir yeah
he really regards himself as rig
of self pretty highly as a character as old
a lover of caraway but not as a character and made a distinct near
like earlier i was on the phone with my mother talkin about latvian christmas folk songs from outer similar for you
later and we're gonna settled i want and i could i wanted the one that had the right what to call this is called the refrain in english
yup easing over and over at the end of a segment course course news the courts was the refrain refrain would be that thing that comes at the tail end of the song that you
insert that we didn't start the fire
yeah anyways so i she sang the melody i saying the melody she said the melody i finally said you guys do she says you know it's going to be the most important for you is that maybe someone else
where are you supposed to start and then you go from there like while he has any meaning room is gonna know the the tune fur sidra
juliet immediately tuning coordinates
so you're only is that he's a carolyn enthusiast rather than a good character
bill who was in the car
we ask the united there is hans cell fellow like our conductor he's a mirror
look what measures and their highly do find his did you find that you can
accentuate his is part of the dominant listening back to the files i'm not even positive view a singing i think that you have just there for show
probably mouth and these merely vanilla not do things and all right old dune merely vanilla as i know the name
i don't know how a man or a tune in and get new references for culture i had tickets to see billing and early ass you know deriving
where they got me if you want a slightly more modern reference you could say like actually simpson on ass i now know argue that jacket
old man or now hopped up on that when talking about the way things were are you guess feebleness this nutmeg
no see like that would people tell me
disease i feel like i've got their day my boy
they would say about his body whose the capillaries in his fingers are dying and so he has real hard time keeping his fingers warm and
what time is telling me i'm trying to he's like all talk about how sad he is for his body cause this is like could be like a terminal thing but i'm not even listening
and i'm not caring about the body i'm just sit know he's he's going to irma announced that it'll be like how do i have that
i hope that your pardon
so now that ada nutmeg i feel like a champion or hey it's it's a creepers sneaking up i feel a yawn his eyes are turning like blood blood color and he's like sending me messages

somehow
being along the sun to come
alive job dubai
our holidays we do how do things
what are you gonna grid
one was not ours but every year old woman you know when you're a little kid you have grandparents' day at school yeah our grandparents live too far away and then they were dead but we had
grandparents would show up for grandparents day vivian coma and one zero man's name
in these folks reduced just container barney
vivian coloma would always come to grandparents day and pretend to be our grandparents nice people on the planet vivian cucama would
always have my dad give her a deer neck or too she would take the dear next cook him down
and make mincemeat pie filling in it
jar the mincemeat pie filling in glass jars and then she ran
ribbon around it
miss you bring it around and give it out as christmas presents and we will get jarring smell
gave her the neck but there is one thing but the
main corner
it tradition is my mom would make this thing called sticky bonds it's like you cook a bunch of what they are do you
though right and it's got all has a sugar and so do it
it makes cinnamon roll kind of thing yeah and there's so much sugar and caramel on the bottom then you flip it over and all the
well shit loads of caramel and all of the stuff is settled to the bottom is then on top and it dries and you wake up and eat that we do this thing where my parents boil a huge pot of polish kielbasa
christmas morning you guys your poor or your poll my mom's side of the family minsky my dad felt that the polls and drank too much that could be true that could be true
but it has a horrendous smell if you don't like polish kielbasa very very strong smell and my wife came into the family not having that polish background or background maybe some german some english
not important yeah feel you might think the germans their mortal enemies once upon a time were but their buddies at one point as well no cause but yes she came into this not prepared for that smell ever more than christmas and she almost
when she was pregnant the other year your baasa he had asked for the smell fills is a danger of the keel baasa so that's our thing polish align egg sausages so you get a powerful boiled fast it is then what unites the wish you just a boy
the kielbasa for your breakfast suppose you guys could do so unless we make em whereby on bottom at a traditional little polish market
you might have boils mop boils
everyone she's got a pretty easy day don't you then you dip in cocktails us
word now that's that's what they did you can be sure no reviews and rip with care i can't i can't i can say i mean he's married can join the kent in the pores canyon household you guys boy
what did the store buy some kielbasa boils up dip it in cocktail sauce yeah i'm not going to sit here until it's good but it's just what they do we did sell
rate to me the wheels gonna get how they once holiday corner my grandma marian mom
am side of the family but she always makes law to cook you know there's lots of good food but there's always a little chunks of beard in my mouth
for from your beer elsewhere elf beard
yorkshire pudding if milieu with that very day not a hogs blood
no no this was like very confusing as a child because it's called yorkshire pudding but it comes out and it's like that it's a muffin that burned on top and then it has kind of like a custody consistency when you like pull the top off and ours were always like a very savory thing so you'd put like you'd like
it's like mop up meat juice cause we were always always making beef with their minds how can you have any pudding if you do hm made it made my body yes but like as a kid you're like this a muffin where's the pudding
oh yeah you get all excited the kids are like oh some putting com and then also knew lay that out there are savory muffins say eat this and then the pudding comes or not but yeah that that's one of those like nostalgic christmas eve type things so i bet anything i would say unfortunately my family wasn't the most traditional i think the biggest
she was we change it up every single year by the one thing that we had always get is ignoring but we never made it we always thought the southern comfort ignored it s hand
pre marriage when you guys were in high school did you guys call it soco oh yeah oh yeah yeah yeah and so this is bringing me back thanks friend
it's better than the store bought me about your anger we are really good this area get guarantee you this is the best he water stewed again is the best
ignore drink of around my entire life it is very had agreed unfortunately some you guys have minus vanilla i forgot to put in vanilla first round
what do i do vanilla or any the top you off its at super simple it's just eggs heavy cream milk you can do half and half or not
nutmeg sixteen sixteen all about more many more on bogeyman whose we got plenty here here yeah nutmeg cinnamon some sugar good eggs vanilla and the mediator bourbon which makes it through those held during your tastes like you
just kept to adding ice this would just be ice cream young antigone up tastes like santa himself makes a man i'd really like to have eyes queues in mine and let it than out a little bit more by europe
we have to use a heavy drank may i don't even have to naivetes better than the first acknowledge cocktail you have every year nine days worth in the last man i get burned out oh yeah
about a gallon
for us as it you're more like a court was procured out after a gown had no agreement in romania
do i do a holiday footing church what here because
it'd be all over much your sir
so my mom is chinese and shaming gray to the united states from beijing way back when an my dad is jewish kid from
when so that's my background sortie guys goes around christmas it depends
da the baker business
depending on the year sometimes we would get together as a family just the three of us i don't have any siblings the three of us would go out to a very christmassy only child only child yeah yeah i grew up in new york city so there are plenty of very holiday festive christmassy type traditional dinner as if we are too lazy to cook and what the
jews normally do for christmas as they go out and eat chinese food because chinese restaurants are open i've actually participated in that one tap so sometimes that is a tradition and sometimes it's gotten together with the jewish side of my family and celebrated christmas slash hanukkah you don't you don't really have like a specific day on which you celebrate hanukkah is an eight day thing but yes we're kind of just depend upon the year
you don't want you dont know this but i'll tell you one time because of the international day i'm an airplane i missed christmas oh did you like you flew made exe

north armitage zeal they want to be in they want more memorable christmas and re its absence made it be memorable
and it was in the it was just in and there was that the it was the time
when the pre nine eleven era ah oh you only want to talk about that oh yeah but to tell about the different food things he has he's chinese food yeah we would sometimes do chinese food on christmas we sometimes do very christmassy

that was the best borneo my favorite
of all the worst christmas present
they came in on the old instagram was a guy
i believe this
he came in more than once a guy
a half of a bottle of whisky with a bow on it where there have
come on that's the best browser is a year you think about it a second and you realize what happened the night before
oh yeah i got the meda ignored
so yeah i guess it can be a trip to a sad story for some people but i like to think about how someone like yeah let's go follow his key and then a little while later while we're in here we will be happy with half a bottle
as you know is very on jani about that did you say half empty like europe
border you just said half bottle whisky oda
there were only get you used to run an ethic order alan's galvanise
good lad badge
that's it
sam what what was the worst arm gives you ever got i mean i think it depends how you look at it because it's not really the worse by the staff meaningless random random for right before i one to know what that that's it that's a generational word random europe because peace
oh my age don't confer don't they know what random means that has happened
they happen in people
ten or more years younger me have no idea what the word random means okay so anyone you describe it as
the odd gift odd gift
random we're gonna get out ok
so you got arena as you folks say you got random meaning all he actually in mining on it was random because she never sent gifts and then just one
and am year you'll be all right if i was you usually me a gift and it was a taser and a box of condoms this group
getting at
what's the order of operations are which go to war in order there is someone a legacy given zone to be begun in babies you'd be like
oh don't
when they open i was
that is the kind of those ruin it open on first
no she was even present over the opening in the gatt and she may know the had them all together in one big package basic law
but let me warn you said later new
calder
call a writer note thank you thank you my mom is very important mamma we do that and we re notes
and you said arm i really appreciated the condoms another taser did she get confused because
your name samantha but you go by sam
that would actually be you're his eyes like distant bathers
she has i thought you were dead you some guy named sam
but why does and views very weak that's makes it ran very virile a week virile
you learn how to do it makes sense to you this is the logical conclusion i could come to
but she would not seem birth control appropriate gender appropriate birth control form an entity
in case he was weird things my prayers
unless things get random monthly packs up things got ruined and with this guy and i had to tease him i haven't had to use the taser yet
oh yeah it lets you tell me how to charge a properly in the cars is like certain offer best and worst case scenario zog when you go to the bar
it's things are resorting to bring with me and i just lay on the bar
come out but the note run its course current
words are behind a government just keep is in this spirit
this
i think you get eight presents do you feel that they did that so that you could kind of like best the christians well who just get presents for like christmas eve and christmas morning right so historically hanukkah does not really have a tradition of gift giving i know and then kids built bombed my
as the kids were bombed and they're like oh you want to do presents i will do the best you will best you by a multiple of four yeah yeah which is quite significant and so a lot of jewish children get
many presence over the course of over right it's like eight christmas so then
spain the christian kids were laughing at them but now they laugh at the career ladder and now
hundred yards residents
no like in what years well what i've read is that when christmas became a national holiday in the united states in the late nineteenth century there was a shift to
if giving for hanukkah yard you so near a little girl would you give them some time
we have built a big expectation than it fall off the next year you know my feeling is really inconsistent with thing so sometimes my father might light a couple of candles during the eight days but he might skip like a day or two and sometimes i would get hanukkah
gals which is there that chocolate rather oil in seattle and somebody zadig somebody's gonna works
chocolate yeah yeah it's like pipe really corn sir be its normally like milk chocolate doesn't really i like dark chocolate but yeah so we were we were inconsistent with celebrating that's a sometimes i might get multiple presence
times you know but they never they never ruled out for you all eight no no not consistently and that was fine with me i i i wasn't like a huge like give me gifts i would like to think that i was not a super child
spoil run were to do a thing for four people the burgundy like a hot hanukkah
oh the siege of the age so there so i don't i don't speak hebrew but the trans liberation i think there's kind of stiller back and forth between spelling it h a an u k k age and then see age a n you can
ea to join hear me speak hebrew baruch ata no brugada thai ella hey hey new to deny yeah that's what i'm saying is that where you're pretty impressed yeah that pretty good do it again for a tad annoying
no
i guess eighty drona as
and that's not even remotely hebrew deserve that amateur soulless a safer use jewish listeners who
to do the hanukkah tradition go to
immediate or store the media
store and here's a great give list can day one did
that's a loved one hour nome packing out a unicorn t shirt which is unknown
the severed unicorns head strapped whose backpack and he's got his crazy known bow date
get them are on grave mediator cotton board day three and give them the complete set of mediator
spices our charismatic mega spices day
or you get him of our nome real in a mermaid shirt which is it
eyes emerged as a somewhat controversial shirt we talked about this it's a nome its create same known cod they kill the unicorn is out fishing
and he's reeling in a mermaid whose fighting hard
people have thought that that is that it saw suggestive the people eat mermaid meat and they felt that is controversial
i've i dont know what's happening
between the norm in the mermaid
does it of its land of fantasy almost gets my brother look
and he thought that the mermaid was gonna pull a no man and eat the gnome i thought that it was an elaborate courtship ritual but either way
the gnome real in a mermaid we also for the fifth day
with hanukkah you get a latvian eagle teaser genuinely honesty shirt explain
living eagle laura and prepare for this one it's
the eagle symbolizes latvian eagle and then it's it's sort of like the it's we use there's a crest there's a latvian crest that we use the three stars from and the three stars represent the three regions of latvia so that's part of it and then
says the latvian ego and meteor on it it's simple really on the on the sixth day you can get them
you know me unreality le loup
bag mean yeah you're right around for present renault we're not le subtropical hard or not
better hunting and fishing for amerika to rinaldo we're almost twenty twenty

at first we run into real real scratchy sort of cotton but now tell me that is the only got a new micro fibre one
is the world's largest lens why in the world can be summit cited kids underneath that tree s for veronica
yeah that's what i said yeah maybe i missed our candles candle burn candles in the windows sitting here all that meat eater merch you know i was going to mention that i i think that he he levels out because the jewish kids that i knew growing up they didn't get presents every evening they got a present and so at the end of it they got a present
what you don't think your kids are getting a presents a piece i said morning while sandy clause bring some mom and dad bring sound
grandma brings a pickup load now the kids really make the kids that really make out are the ones that have a christian mother or father and a jewish mother or father like my buddy saw from high school
matt always i'm not a climate role right three days ago and then be likes we order what's gonna be under another truck loader presence here man
the media emerged that do great as a child of divorce i can say i was pretty lucrative as well
there they're they're trying to outdo each other it was great liner did you did you play it too
realize you're pretty special i mean now dad i'm not like that you you're special i wasn't that bad no
i spent so many years living out of my truck that i could never quite get across the fact that i couldn't i i enjoyed the thought behind presence but i couldn't really accept the presence because i'd be like ooh
is a great frame picture
look awesome your wall and i'll appreciate it whenever i'm here
as the annual reporting here am i supposed to like screw up to the roof of my drugs
so when everybody gets their presence anything this this is true for people who celebrate hanukkah workers christmas to get their presence and
inevitably you know many p
who for hanukkah git gift cards sure yeah i guess that's what
dazed your parents decide they got no there is no about it yeah stick a gift card near exactly everybody gets gift cards and then everybody gets returns so yeah
no you can't amazon gift card whatever or you get some stupid any return it and you get it
ash credit so that leaves you know awkward position and also you might be listened to this after christmas so none of us has any relevancy to you but you sit there a gift card your name is
gift card so now you're wondering boy i dunno what to do with my gift card so now
our canyon a very special and lovely marking is gonna have
suggestion for what one might do with their gift cards is holiday season justice shameless plug yeah
call me on well marks much anticipated book you could pick up that wild country in epic journey through the past present and future of america's public glance
wrote a book the first i would try to bring this book up margo
he feathers some bad will happen if you talked about a too early altogether publishers
it's like you'll jinx it or something yeah but but it's out it's out there that wild country yep tells her tell us all about it mark put a christmas spin on it oh boy
now you throw me for a loop know i would try something like this i would say am
everyone knows the joy of receiving a gift while there is no greater gift in america's public glance is very true twice on like that but just to to get a gift means
i think but to understand the thought behind that gift maybe let's recall the history behind that gift as good it means that much more and that's what i try to do with this book
that's wonderful work i do have passed i mean do come again
for people it's good it's good the cliff notes on the book was that i love public lands but didn't understand how we got these places you know chosen fifty
two thousand and sixteen there's space yeah you wonder you know how do we get to this point that it was such a contentious issue and that i had places i'd go hunt fish camp etc so i decided if i didn't know that story if i didn't understand how we got to this point there's probably a lot of other people out there who were in the same boat especially if you didn't live in the middle of them say here in montana and so i started diving into that myself trying to understand that story that history and what was going on presently and then went and spent as much time as i possibly could in those places to kind of have a physical contact
for that how many states to travel to at least eight or twenty eight and ten i think for that so yeah ranging from montana pack rafting and fly fishing the bob marshall wilderness up to the u p of michigan backpacking picture rocks down into arizona and utah and north south east west a little bit of everything everything from hunting and fishing to backpack
camping and peak begging when you are doing the boy did you as you do know your research
all long were you think like oh that makes sense that makes sense or did you hit some parts you like what there were definitely moments of i didn't know that that that explains things and more of those types of moments whereas ha now i get it yeah this is all kind of coming together and it's it's no surprise to me now that they are so contentious and controversial in certain ways because one of the things that makes them so special which is that there for all of us they're co owned by all of us we can use them for so many different things that's also what makes them so challenging to work with so
if there's a whole lot of stakeholders with a whole lot of different ideas about how to use them and manage them that makes them tricky but special now you're in the book jar as he approached it with a bias
right lol you didn't set out to be like should we have public lands
it's like you came at you you're a lover of public lands and so you set out to write a book explaining them right in advocating for them
did you come away from the whole project
more sympathetic to the anti public
and sentiment or did you come away more baffled by the end by anti public land sentiment
i would say it i would not call myself sympathetic to but understanding of some of the challenges and complaints around it when you look at there was a trend in public land policy that might have made things more difficult for some users of public lands and i came to better understand that iran but i guess you could say sympathetic to some of those users who might now be viewed as anti publicly to degree ma am but i'm not sympathetic with the most radical of those elements you ve got folks like the bundy's who take it so much further than i think it ever should but sure i'm willing to listen to some one who wants to use these lands for some form extraction or some form of
using or whatever it might be those are good honest americans that have a perspective to do so you gotta approach it with a little bit of an open mind we say you know you you typically you try to like put
spin on your adversaries and oftentimes
put a spin on your adversaries that they're not comfortable with like we talk about people who are against public land but the people who are against public land don't say that like they don't say like i am against public land they say something different i tell them it like tell me how they would describe like what is an anti public lands person from his perspective while it's typically going to be someone who is more so anti federal government and a lot of ways believing that there's an overreach of regulation taking them
freedoms or something like that they might say that we are restricting their use or restricting their economic freedom the founding fathers never intended rights although though never attended common fight
to build go outside and right of lobby that
i think they very rarely will come right out and say oh well you're keeping me from making more money and big business at least but but yeah i mean everybody everybody comes to this though looking at it from their own individual lens of how you use these lands so it is it is easy to be biased and i like you said i've come to realize and then trying to as much as possible step outside of that a little bit and try to understand but it's hard to do that given the passions and the things that we love to do but what i found is that what we're in now has been going on for decades and it will continue to so there's never going to be a happy ending i don't think it's always going to be a push and pull and i think that might have been my
great takeaway was that we just better be prepared for that tug of war to continue and it's incumbent on us to stand up and poorly are did you and enduring the book did you feel that the that the part is an aspect of it was cumbersome to deal with because most
i'm in the week
i just like anti federally manage public land sentiment is
in recent years it's sleigh it's like a republican thank right either
over the party at a like that they needed to give this up in my mind
hardly but they had a thing where there is a sort of a plank in the party platform is this you know
like nascent opposition to federally manage public lands and at that
embody every person in that party but the party in general so when you re in the book
ever feel like you're sort of like picking out one political party at the expense of another i'm sorry picking
picking on certain political parties
praising certain political parties because right
now it is sort of this partisan debate unfortunately yeah that was the mess that's me saying it's unfortunate that it gets terribly unfortunate no i was gonna say that was the most frustrating aspect of the whole thing was that a i hate that has become parson b i don't understand how they're how this could be because of this this is about as american of an ideas i can think of that being democratized land and in a resource like this that all americans can use and benefit from so yet frustrating it's also challenging to build
conversations around parson issues without half of the group just shutting off yeah when i was reading your book that a thing that stuck out me and michael like the father of the american public lands system was no republican but as to your different
time right the same way i mean that the party you know what i mean
republican change radically three years ago so yeah
and read the book i can't be like ours kind like on four like when you look at it
whose behind one who is doing what it was like unfortunate made me feel like really man we have discussed
i thought these guys got to pull it together dude and that's the thing i tried to make clear though in the book was that i don't think it should be a republican or democratic issue and i approached it from hey i'm right in the middle personally i came from a conservative republican background i certainly do still support some things on that side i support some other ideas too and i'm going to stand with anybody who's willing to stand up for these places so i try to make it clear within the book i am not attacking the republican party under attack am attacking i am
an idea there right now the republicans for supporting that it thinks a big mistake on their per year and as of change all time like us they like three years ago that there was a party of free trade yeah right now right like magic is not altogether
yeah it could it hopefully will change around me at least
lamar canyon
were originally going to say you don't even read the book just go buy it or if you don't buy march but none of us know

do you like santa special leave especially nowadays basil boys and girls this is called the kids corner of the special holidays vessel we get a vision
from big man himself view people who may not appreciate how best
santa hit or does the sunlight revisit this is this some stats for
spy magazine many years ago this establishes how miraculous did is
and a clear just how special does have mere this man in our this man here in our presence
he every year services
an estimated three hundred and seventy eight million christian children
if you imagine that fifteen percent of those christian children are bad
i think so he doesn't need to doing form and you give it

still is visiting every year ninety one point eight million homes
with the rotation of the earth he's only got thirty one
hours of darkness to get it done this man in our ports
right writer business here today can pull off
a hundred and twenty two point six home visits per second it takes him a thousandth of a second to pull off a single
visit not count transoceanic legs of his trip this man travels
seventy two million five hundred twenty two thousand miles every christmas
he's gone six hundred and fifty miles per second he's going three
thousand times the speed of sound
he would only bring each kid a measly two pounds of presence this man poles three hundred and twenty one
thousand tonnes of toys behind him in his slave
his lead reindeer his leave
reindeer at these speeds is absorbing fourteen point three
quintillion joules of energy per second
these were normal reindeer he would be slopping off
these are no refers first these little reindeer he would need two hundred and fourteen thousand in two hundred reindeer to pull that load in four point
six thousands of a second two hundred
fourteen reindeer at this speedily slopped off into char
those speaks steve stephen i'm not a number
answer wonderful this man sitting here today is subjected to centrifugal forces
seventeen thousand five hundred times greater than the earth gravitational force he is pinned to the back of his sled
with four million three hundred seventy five thousand in fifteen tons of force at those

i'm in no one the incredible feats are capable of i feel like that's a small thing i've just written it just now are you ready i am ready it's called twas the night before deer season i've just written it in the last minute
are you ready anthony i'm ready sooner you're naughty twas the night before dear season when all through the woods the hunters we're prepping all of their good quiet i it's even scientists talking
you shush at the base layers were hung in the wall chant with care in hopes that first light soon would be there yoenis or janice was nestled all snug in his cart with visions of crosshairs and taking the shot
with a child in his lip broom
stephen his wool they each had a bottle of whisky to pull
out of the darkness arose such a sound stephen sprang from his chair to see what was around
to the ten flap taking immediate flight he threw back the canvas
and stepped into the night within
ellie de lab strapped to his head he saw in the darkness a book in its bed
and what do his wondering i should he see the box giants rack had rubbed every tree
its frame was wide and taking one more look it was a book boon and crockett would put into their book
it is time how they twinkle his muscles how tents his animals like the pickets and the most wonderful fence the big giants
a broad soggy belly that shook when he laughed like a bull full of jelly gone down market
yeah you seem to be excited sweating your brow is filled with santa doesn't sweat do i get very busy but i do not sweat you are sweaty or i'm mulligan this you should get a handkerchief he was chubby and plump with
of cold fighting fat though the mediator man had ruined his now sir
dream to be shouldering a naming his gun gripping and grinning sure wouldn't be for the book pissed honest tassels with a twist of his head
let's stephen no there would be nothing to dread these
down the trail looking just
like a missile and the way
he flew like the down of a vessel
but the hunter exclaimed as the book ran out of you i hear those in spite box
have tasty about straps too whoa whoa hey there i just wrote that now sixty one minutes and twelve seconds valuable time required else
let you out of the works of worsted
thank you so much to drop by there ends the the end of the kids corner of the special holiday special saying if you'd like we're going to step out of this room oh and we're in
do the latvian holiday tradition of melton lead in
breathe all those toxic fumes and any threat
eleven new bucket its abundant water
it's lullabies
the crazy shape you hold the shape up and make a finger puppet with it in a nap
it's your future if you'd care to join us i have no idea what you're talking about yeah that sounds dangerous i've never been to a lot of you but it sounds nice
go on go on
i was again do represent a busy man
goodbye goodbye
he's wanted right now at four thousand shopping malls
gay adi what do we need to know you know said now to do this well which need to know first that all these traditions lay i said earlier swell brick celebrating the winter solstice silly christmas and the water sources is like that it's a new year basically on like a calendar there
nature provides right so you just throw out december and january is looked at like what when the year sort of flips over four
days mighty short exile because all the press days are down again so all of this
it sort of has like a finish up with one thing start a new thing theme going throughout the whole thing and before we've talked about the u lock which i think now to doing some research on the yule log it's not exactly the same thing but the log that we like total to around the house with a rope while we're singing latvian folk songs yeah i've been to this you've been to a that's right eat
eat everybody at your shop why i was no camera what i did and we drag the log around the house three times to rid the whole homestead of any sort of bad juju bad spirits anything that might be negative like surrounding like the place itself though then
so that the humans can participate or getting rid of their own demons miss sab
if there's anything bad you want to sort of forget from the last year and put it behind you and have and be able to look forward the clean slate you can do and i read recently that you can use multiple ways into the log you can
stop it which is what we do gallagher i walked dynamic yards down its status
john earlier and i worked in jobs into the long you can also do style of string around the world we could do that
that's the safer way symbolize that way yeah no we was there we were at a place where we didn't have room for the log or whatever and so instead we all just wrote things down on a piece of paper on like sort of like a scroll and roll
and then everybody would just pitch a minute or so like urban parents who aren't comfortable with their children wielding an axe you can have him go tyo yeah that's right and so you've got a big bonfire going and so once everybody's done shopping or tying their thread or string onto the lie you pitch it into the bonfire
write a note unstring no justice drink
well because you know what it means that's right and again it's just that it's the the traditional is just symbolic of you know leaving the bad stuff behind from the last year
editions tradition bilbil i want you guys law hut trivia tip
as this might come as a very neat is holidays is such a thing yeah i think so now
why aren't you like a little you're a trivial player phil whence you
like the additive way is like a tent that might come in handy during
the x files rising that could come up trivia i'm good
anybody know where and when the first christmas tree was erected germany back
i thought they called it the old town in bomb yeah they didn't about a hundred years after they erected one in the capital city
latvia rig though there is a law and that's why
you tell your own resource
a i'm not here to debate it at this moment to give you guys a little salami the latvians came up with the christmas tree men of the local merchants guild decorated a tree with artificial roses danced around it in the marketplace and then said
fire to it can you guess dramatic social areas are so dramatic humming bird in areas like them
this goal the decorated bargain sounds like all his word and fire here oppenheimer area holiday wrong bird then decorate bonfires
that guy sent us a thing about latvia's the most introverted country what about it
said that latvia he saw something at latvian embassy that latvia's the world's most introverted near
aren't you intervene so i talk about their introvert nervous
i bet you guys have such like flamboyant expressions around the holidays it just doesn't strike me as introversion introvert i think it just seems flamboyant because you've never heard of it you know if if someone had never heard of your christmas traditions
i told him about it for the first that's a good point i'd be like no a huge dude comes down a chimney and then you take some raw eggs and mix them with milk and cream and whiskey and drink it
weird they are gale of china as a good boy that order well i got a latvian box on here not literally a traditional nea
mozart needed somebody else to tell me what's no to start on but that we will have anyway

couple more now there's only one more anyways you want to know what the words mean how come they told me power up a pom pom you got the rubber pump pump it yeah
just the course so collar do the same in english as it is isn't latvian but tat
a silver reign was falling winter solstice night all that teeny tiny ranches gave the silver a ride ganders candles burned all night long in silver candle
orders the moon shows the way to those bringing the sun's daughter the son gave her daughter from the land of the deceased to this land cheese
sure if it's the nutmeg but that's true that yanis translation of the song so someone else might give you a different version but so too are looking to the future and we have what's called linus leona which if you translate that literally it means pouring luck or pouring happiness leash and of being the verb pouring in lima being luck or happiness and researching for today i don't think i'd ever personally defined what line it was to me but it come
come to find out it's very hard to define let alone translate the latin philosophers have sort of like battled and debated over this for hundreds of years because it's not just like happiness but it's more of like a state of being there's like other emotions attached to it from simple satisfaction to great joy and some theologians and philosophers describe it as living a successful and good life rather than a simple emotion so it's deep so what's you're about to do encompasses all that you're not just like sort of forecasting like what might happen
we were sort of like how you might feel and be for the next year but you can see why i like it because basically if you've got liner you just have like a general good positive attitude about life i believe if you have that you know life should be pretty smooth for you you know because you perceive it as such that's right so i
we can roll and ports and lead so cyrano some like we walk as do the process roquat yes ok so
we this is how we always done it and you bases have a small pot they usually go to the thrift store and buy cars once you melt lead in it you're not going to use it again to cook noodles for your kids anymore
so he had to have it's simple you don't need a law has invested in one of those lead
but my man had one of those led melton looks like a bull scrotum whether spout
no i don't get sophisticated get sophisticated about if you like to have a spouse them i like chip
the actual thrown kind of like like dictate your future that's right ok gone so yeah some fishing thinkers is what we'd by you need a bucket but any gas it is do it like in your seat
destroy up with cold water i think if you had a minimum of six inches that's probably enough so that by the time it hit the bottom it's not going to adhere to the steel
then see a small pot and a way to heat it up and melt the lead that's it and so once you have a pot full and i'm trying to think how much we're going to it's been a few years since i've done it but i'm guessing like a two or three ounce fishing sinker or that amount is going to be enough to produce
nice poor of work yeah you don't want to project too much of your future now i mean
now the next ten years let me tell you about a year per
so yeah
you haven't melted in the pie
over the bucket of cold water and in quickly in one motion spill it into their
in there
pour it into there and then it amelie it makes kind of a loud popping noise and immediately solidifies and you pick it up out of there and the fun starts
did you guys like to throw the shadow of the candle or a flashlight candle for sure because then you get the movement of the floor
data every dance and lawyer i withdraw mark
that is a giant oil
yeah it'd be like a martyr of these going to get a big one but he doesn't realize that he's just going to get stomped to death that all your heavy like every minute of two goldfinches was stomping on my head here it might be a whole herd big giant bug
yes around and see a big buck don't get excited cause you're not gonna know what it means steering clear of the back forty yeah i know better than to go out there i saw my lead poisoning lead
a piece of land
inside a little tin looking pot
the milk is starting to run down to the bottom
that's no removing

excellent
nor is the ideal
we wonder i like one
absolutely
the
right so we are now how do we have poured the lad and now
correct me if i'm wrong yards but we are examining the words
through
looking at its shadow that cast on the wall with a candle as the light and now we interpret what the lead shape means
for mark's future i like to remind everybody that morale is saying how lima is like the the easiest way to translate his happiness so this is and this is your future and a very fun and positive way i see like an olive branch banzai tree
branch like peace back bragger of that's it will go back backing maybe he's got somethin
he's already its mark in a backpack he's single
public glands i'll see something
reader i see is a very arthritic hand an arthritic hair
