In this one, it's kind 17 00:00:49.880 --> 00:00:53.560 of bittersweet because I did a history of Christmas songs 18 00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.679 because many of them mean more than you think. And 19 00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:01.320 Daniel Charleston was in that and he gone now, so 20 00:01:01.399 --> 00:01:04.840 I wanted to play that. Also, before I became a vegan, 21 00:01:05.879 --> 00:01:09.519 I tried to still do healthier meals and I had 22 00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:12.239 a lovely gathering with Jules long Beach, a drag queen, 23 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:17.640 fabulous drag queen, and with Amy James, James and Amy 24 00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:21.840 and they're gone now.

So I grew up in a traditional family setting. 128 00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.839 The women always into. 129 00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:08.800 Cookie, so the men didn't do That's right, That's right. 130 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.160 So you just you've fat farts just set. 131 00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:13.399 Around and watched the women cook all day. 132 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:13.759 Isn't that? 133 00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:16.639 Now? Today, let me tell you what we did here. 134 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:23.680 The broccoli stuffing is vegan and no gluten, and there's 135 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.920 no carbs in an eisend. Now they say in the 136 00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.879 recipe that it's a great alternative for turkey dressing. 137 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.920 Now we have the traditional dressing here, which I made 138 00:07:31.959 --> 00:07:32.360 with They have. 139 00:07:32.399 --> 00:07:36.439 A cup of butter, walnuts and pears, and oh us 140 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:38.240 pork sauted with bacon grease. 141 00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:41.079 And we have this. So which of the two, the 142 00:07:41.160 --> 00:07:44.160 lighter alternative or the other? Do you like more? Well, 143 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:45.439 I don't even think that's a question. 144 00:07:46.160 --> 00:07:49.519 There isn't one isn't No, it's gluten free, it's horse crap, 145 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:50.240 and it's vegan. 146 00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:51.800 Now the cranberries. 147 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:55.399 One is made with the fruit juice and with pineapple 148 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.920 and with a cup of sugar, and the other is 149 00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.839 made with stebvy it instead of sugar. 150 00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:03.600 And water instead of fruits. So which of the two 151 00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.800 cranberries do you like with it? I think they're both 152 00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:08.560 amaza in this case. 153 00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:10.720 I actually think you could get away cutting the calories 154 00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.199 in the cranberry because they are both good. 155 00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.720 Now, according to a survey this year, the price of 156 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:15.279 this meal. 157 00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.920 Went up to about fifty dollars because of dairy beans 158 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.560 so expensive. Now, that's what I thought when I read it. 159 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.199 They said fifty dollars total. I said, who the hell 160 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:26.920 can feed a family of more than one person? That's 161 00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:29.240 what they said. From how I don't know. Now this 162 00:08:29.399 --> 00:08:31.879 was on special. This bird was only like nine dollars. 163 00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:34.120 But that I mean, so I'm supposed to spend forty 164 00:08:34.120 --> 00:08:36.360 one dollars on everything else? Are you kidding me? Yes? 165 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.440 Now, see those yams with the with the pineapple, and 166 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.080 you know what, they have one third the calorie of 167 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.799 the other yams. The other yems have brown sugar and 168 00:08:45.919 --> 00:08:49.440 marshmallows and everything else. And the white potatoes are sweet 169 00:08:49.440 --> 00:08:53.320 potatoes and cauliflour with white cheeses which are lower in 170 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.399 fat hard white cheeses as opposed to the other potatoes, 171 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.279 which are just regular potatoes with cheddar cheese. 172 00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:00.720 From the fat. 173 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:04.720 Directly, I think that the sweet potatoes with the pairs 174 00:09:04.759 --> 00:09:07.559 on the honey, there's actually better, right, And it's actually 175 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.000 lowering to fat and lower in carbohydrates on the other 176 00:09:10.279 --> 00:09:12.519 So when planning a holiday, Neil, all you really have 177 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:14.360 to do is say, okay, look there's some stuff I'm 178 00:09:14.399 --> 00:09:15.360 not gonna able to skim book. 179 00:09:15.639 --> 00:09:17.639 You know there's not people are gonna stitch it down. 180 00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:19.919 If you serve this and call the flower dressing, they're 181 00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:22.440 gonna spit it out. I'm telling you right now, they're 182 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:24.720 gonna be like, what the hell is it? Well, it's 183 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:27.879 not dressing, right, it's a vegetable side dish. 184 00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:31.000 It's not dressing. This is dressing. I have a cup 185 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:35.000 of butter is dressing.

Morgan Mallory my musical director, 205 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.039 and he's my musical director for life and segments because 206 00:10:42.120 --> 00:10:42.759 this man can sing. 207 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:43.120 Job. 208 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:45.720 This year, it seems like they broke the Golden rule 209 00:10:45.720 --> 00:10:48.759 of Christmas, which was it? They started playing Christmas songs 210 00:10:49.240 --> 00:10:53.120 like in October, right before remember, like right before Halloween. 211 00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.679 And don't you think that is too early? Actually, I'll 212 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.279 tell you why they're doing it. Though they're doing it, 213 00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:00.399 they have found out radio stations have found out their 214 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:03.279 ratings triple when they go on holiday. They so now 215 00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.360 they're starting in November November first, and retailers are hoping 216 00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:11.120 this year to make five hundred million dollars in additional 217 00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:15.320 sales by starting the season three weeks prior to Black Friday. 218 00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:18.480 So now basically Halloween is the Aldea to them, ware 219 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:19.639 to us is now Black Friday. 220 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:20.720 Basically, if we. 221 00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:22.840 Haven't hit Thanksgiving, it it's too soon, right. 222 00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:24.879 That is the golden rule, isn't. And I think that's 223 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:26.200 like one of those don't you agree. 224 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.840 It's like one of those unspoken rules, if you know, 225 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.840 if you haven't hit Thanksgiving. But that being said, there's 226 00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:34.080 a very interesting history to a lot of Christmas music, 227 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.440 and some of them like have caused world peace, as 228 00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.799 you know, and others we don't really know much about. 229 00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:41.559 And that's even interesting, you know, in and of itself. 230 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.320 I think initially it's just learning the verses and singing 231 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:46.080 as songs as a kid, I don't really think about 232 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:48.639 the history behind a lot of these songs. Right. 233 00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.440 The first one is God Rescued Mary Gentlemen, now we 234 00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.759 all you know, pretty much love that song, but this 235 00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:57.120 is one on the opposite end of not knowing the 236 00:11:57.200 --> 00:11:58.039 story with. 237 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:01.200 God rescued Mary. Gentlemen, we don't know who wrote it. 238 00:12:01.639 --> 00:12:04.159 We know that it came around in about seventeen ninety, 239 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:06.879 and there's been an argument over what Mary has meant. 240 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:09.559 What do you think Mary means? Are they happy? Are 241 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:12.440 they gay? What's Mary meaning? Are they mighty? 242 00:12:13.919 --> 00:12:14.720 Mary mighty? 243 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.960 Well, there was an argument that Mary might have meant mighty, 244 00:12:18.039 --> 00:12:19.320 so God rest he mighty. 245 00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:21.919 Gentlemen, let nothing you dismay. 246 00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.440 Some just thought it meant just happy Robin hood and 247 00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:27.759 is merry men right? But they were very happy, No, 248 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:28.120 they were. 249 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:30.600 I know I saw those times. And if we don't 250 00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.559 know who wrote it, it kind of gives us the opportunity 251 00:12:32.600 --> 00:12:33.559 to are you. 252 00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:35.000 Saying, if you don't know who wrote it, I can't 253 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:36.399 mess everything up. You don't care. 254 00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:39.320 You take artistic license with the melody. 255 00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:41.960 And that's the fun part of Christmas music because everybody 256 00:12:41.960 --> 00:12:44.559 always redoes it so many different ways every year. There's 257 00:12:44.559 --> 00:13:03.960 so much freedom, gotta esteem reagents, then nothing dismay. 258 00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:09.519 Remember the christ Us say. 259 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:19.279 Was born on Christmasday to save the saw from SAT's power, 260 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:29.120 we need come stray boon tis comfort and. 261 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:32.240 Comfort j. 262 00:13:34.600 --> 00:13:43.559 Times of comfort and joy. 263 00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.320 Well should we clap to clap in your living room? 264 00:13:47.320 --> 00:13:49.919 I feel like I should clap God, the one I 265 00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:53.639 such talented friends. I love that. So back in eighteen 266 00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.759 eighteen they did the Christmas Eve song and that the 267 00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:56.600 organ was broken. 268 00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:00.000 So the parish priest said, hey, we have a good time, 269 00:14:00.919 --> 00:14:03.639 right absolutely, but that really wasn't heard of for a 270 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.440 Christmas you know, Carol or Christmas hynd. 271 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:08.120 So they said, well, let's just be unconventional and they 272 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:12.440 wrote Silent Night. So then in nineteen fourteen. 273 00:14:12.080 --> 00:14:14.679 The world was at war, the world was absolutely at war, 274 00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.799 and it was Christmas Eve yet again, and the Allied troops, 275 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:21.000 the Germans were fighting the French, and there were some 276 00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.960 Americans there too, and it was, you know, a night 277 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.759 like any other, except that they knew it was Christmas Eve. 278 00:14:28.440 --> 00:14:32.240 And so the Germans in their foxholes started singing Silent. 279 00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.480 Night in German as it was originally written. 280 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:38.000 And the French, hearing this and knowing the. 281 00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:41.879 Song, started singing Silent Night as well, and Americans that 282 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:45.000 were there started singing Silent Night as well. Well. Suddenly 283 00:14:45.039 --> 00:14:48.519 the most remarkable thing happened, and the people came out 284 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:51.320 of the trenches and started talking to each other and 285 00:14:51.639 --> 00:14:55.679 sharing rations and sharing liquor and having a Christmas Eve 286 00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:59.399 party and waking up Christmas Morning and not annihilating each other, 287 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:00.759 having a smiss morning. 288 00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.039 They didn't go back to killing each other until the 289 00:15:03.120 --> 00:15:03.519 day after. 290 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:08.279 I'm told but right, but exactly, Well, if you think 291 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:12.240 about it, one other song has literally brought about world peace. 292 00:15:13.480 --> 00:15:14.840 Isn't this one of your favorites? Is this one of 293 00:15:14.879 --> 00:15:15.279 your favorite? 294 00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.919 Yeah, everyone's. It really is everyone's standard for every Christmas Eves. 295 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:19.919 Since eighteen eighteen. 296 00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:50.000 The nice Ohne is come is fries Raw Youngsionther and. 297 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.240 Child, wol. 298 00:15:54.320 --> 00:16:11.720 Fan Soder and seevenly inven. 299 00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:17.720 Absolutely beautiful, absolutely beautiful. 300 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:21.080 Bridget, my friend, Bridget may fly tomorrow, may not. American 301 00:16:21.120 --> 00:16:25.279 airlines canceling flights causing disasters. Twenty flights here are canceled 302 00:16:25.279 --> 00:16:28.960 in Las Vegas, flights canceled across the country. They're blaming 303 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:33.960 two really the ridiculous things, weather and staffing. First of all, 304 00:16:34.240 --> 00:16:40.960 we can talk about colonizing Mars, but we can't make airports, 305 00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:47.639 airplanes and transportation that can actually withstand planet Earth. Is 306 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:52.159 that what you're telling me that our transportation system is 307 00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:55.639 so delicate that if things that have been happening for 308 00:16:55.720 --> 00:17:01.799 thousands of years storms happen, it's them all down. If 309 00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:04.720 that's the case, then flying is not the best alternative 310 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:07.720 for us. First of all, if it's so fragile that 311 00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:10.720 some weather can just shut it all down, get a 312 00:17:10.759 --> 00:17:15.440 new waid to travel. That's the first thing. Second of all, staffing, 313 00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:18.200 I don't know that many flight attendants and all of 314 00:17:18.200 --> 00:17:20.400 that that have quit because of COVID. I know that 315 00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.079 you're having trouble keeping staff because you can't stop people 316 00:17:23.079 --> 00:17:27.519 from attacking them another flight attendant with a broken nose. 317 00:17:27.839 --> 00:17:30.359 I feel flight attendants should now be able to take 318 00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:34.319 your ass out, Okay, if you are unruly, they should 319 00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:37.920 have a blowgun with a dart and that's it. You 320 00:17:37.960 --> 00:17:41.839 are tranked like a rhino, breaking people's noses, causing all 321 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:44.640 this hoopla. You are an a tube hurling through the air. 322 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.480 Try that crap with me on your plane. It ain't 323 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:49.759 gonna take anyone to defend the flight attendant. I'm gonna 324 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:53.160 get up, I'm gonna deck your ass. Okay, Because we 325 00:17:53.319 --> 00:17:58.039 love those videos. Now, these maga idiots, these maskless morons, 326 00:17:58.440 --> 00:18:01.279 these Karens, just getting a people faces or even trying 327 00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.200 to attack them, and then someone else comes along and 328 00:18:04.240 --> 00:18:07.640 throws their ass down. That's gonna be me because I 329 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:11.279 had enough of you all. Okay, my tolerance level for 330 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:16.000 y'all is done. Okay, here's my tolerance level. Here's the 331 00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:20.240 rest of the world. It's way above. I will smack 332 00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.240 the whole. I will smack the badness out of you. Okay, 333 00:18:24.000 --> 00:18:26.200 try to attack a flight attendant that I need to 334 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:29.400 get me something, You're gonna You're gonna distract the little 335 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.000 attention I can get from the damn flight attendant to 336 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.920 get me some water or some tea or from whatever, 337 00:18:35.720 --> 00:18:37.519 not that I ask them for much. There ain't much 338 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:39.359 you should do on a plane that they can do. 339 00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:41.680 Don't You should bring your own water. Don't drink the 340 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:44.839 water on a plane. And if you're gonna drink tea, 341 00:18:46.240 --> 00:18:50.119 if he at least to heat the water, God knows how. 342 00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:55.160 And truly if it comes out of a can or something, okay, 343 00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.599 like you can do you can do that. They ain't 344 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.039 serving alcohol that much anymore or why because y'all can't 345 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.559 act right, So that brings the question why do we fly? 346 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:07.319 We now know from the Climate Summit, where nothing is 347 00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:09.160 gonna happen, they're going to talk about blah blah blah 348 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:13.559 blah blah. We now know that we should all fly less. Okay, 349 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.720 that's one of the things coming out of the summit, 350 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:20.400 less air travel. I know tourism industry bureaus don't want 351 00:19:20.440 --> 00:19:25.319 to hear that, but less air travel. I really feel 352 00:19:25.359 --> 00:19:28.079 most people should that they should not travel for business. 353 00:19:28.720 --> 00:19:31.799 In other words, if you have to, like you're an entertainer, 354 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:34.759 or you have to go physically be in the spot 355 00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:39.200 for your job, okay, but traveling to meetings and traveling 356 00:19:39.240 --> 00:19:41.880 to stuff that we can now do via zoom and video, no, 357 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.559 that should just all stop. So like one third to 358 00:19:44.599 --> 00:19:46.680 one half of the travel could just stop. But why 359 00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:49.799 do we fly? Why have we not invented something better? 360 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.480 The weather brings airplanes to a screeching halt. They still 361 00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.480 fall out of the sky and clear people or kill people, 362 00:19:57.519 --> 00:20:01.599 albeit rare, you can't have fun on them anymore. There 363 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.279 nothing about them is enjoyable. Airports are not fun. The 364 00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:09.200 screening process is not fun. Being on the plane unless 365 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:14.079 you're in first class is not fun. Nothing about air 366 00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.480 flying is pleasurable. So why do we do it? Is 367 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:20.440 this who we are? We are We've really become a 368 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:24.359 species of sado masochist. We get ourselves into situations where 369 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:27.480 we are abused and we stay in those. Flying is 370 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:31.119 a great example. Getting a ticket not a fun thing, 371 00:20:31.440 --> 00:20:34.920 either expensive or b there's all these restrictions. And now 372 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:37.559 you can bring like two T shirts and a pair 373 00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:39.799 of underwear, but if you bring more than that, they're 374 00:20:39.799 --> 00:20:42.480 gonna charge you by the item. You know, I mean 375 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:44.799 you have to strip to go through or pay one 376 00:20:44.839 --> 00:20:47.720 hundred dollars to be tsa preed and even then to 377 00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:51.039 I mean, there's none of it is enjoyable unless you're 378 00:20:51.039 --> 00:20:53.799 filthy rich. And that that just is for everything in life. 379 00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:56.799 If you're filthy rich, then so none of it's enjoyable. 380 00:20:56.920 --> 00:20:58.799 We don't lie. How many of you like flying? How 381 00:20:58.839 --> 00:21:00.839 many of you like being close to a person next 382 00:21:00.880 --> 00:21:01.640 to you that you don't know? 383 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:02.480 Then you have been to. 384 00:21:02.400 --> 00:21:05.799 People that you love? Okay, truly, you get on a 385 00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:08.200 plane and the person next to you, if you're not 386 00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.160 flying with someone in your family, is more up in 387 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.200 your business than your partner. Okay, I mean truly they're 388 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:19.960 right there. That ain't fun. Being crammed into the seat 389 00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:22.519 ain't fun. Look I lost one hundred and ten pounds, 390 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.559 I'm still crammed into the damn seat. Who are they 391 00:21:24.559 --> 00:21:31.799 made for munchkins? Boarding never fun?

They say, oh, don't 398 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.400 block the aisles, But you block the aisle not just 399 00:21:50.400 --> 00:21:52.039 to put your stuff up top, but to put your 400 00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:55.599 stuff in the seat there, you cordia, take off your jacket, 401 00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.559
