87
00:04:55.959 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 1>your past, I'm present. This is exactly how I imagine it too,

88
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:03.160
<v Speaker 1>me too, honestly.

89
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so yeah, we're doing a Christmas Carrol episode. We

90
00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:09.439
<v Speaker 3>all decided to watch the Jim Carrey two thousand and

91
00:05:09.519 --> 00:05:13.279
<v Speaker 3>nine Christmas first week. It's so crazy to me that

92
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.600
<v Speaker 3>we all independently took the past, present and future ghosts

93
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.839
<v Speaker 3>and you said you're the past. I literally thought Ryan

94
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.560
<v Speaker 3>is definitely the past and Alex is definitely the future.

95
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:27.600
<v Speaker 1>Well, can we talk about how the past is literally

96
00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:30.120
<v Speaker 1>a light being? Yeah? Oh, I didn't even think about that. Wait, wait,

97
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.399
<v Speaker 1>we got it. Let's keep it in order. I didn't

98
00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:34.600
<v Speaker 1>even think about that though. That's that is the order.

99
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>That is the order.

100
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:40.199
<v Speaker 3>No, I mean, like, like explain about like, but I

101
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 3>have the same thought.

102
00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:42.600
<v Speaker 1>If there's a gun, I'm on jump it. Yeah, I

103
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:42.879
<v Speaker 1>did not.

104
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I have to say, all right, before we

105
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:48.720
<v Speaker 2>get into Christmas, Carol, I have to ask this.

106
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>This is pressing.

107
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:51.879
<v Speaker 2>I have watched three Scrooge movies, and I think it's

108
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:53.839
<v Speaker 2>funny that last night we were all watching the Jim

109
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:55.519
<v Speaker 2>Carrey one at the same time, right, and none of

110
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.759
<v Speaker 2>us knew because we talked about this topic two or

111
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:01.399
<v Speaker 2>three weeks ago, you know, shout out Zeke by the

112
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:02.040
<v Speaker 2>way out.

113
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:03.040
<v Speaker 1>It was his idea. Love.

114
00:06:04.120 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he was like, bro, you gotta do an esoteric Christmas, Carol.

115
00:06:06.519 --> 00:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>And I don't know that it'll be necessarily esoteric. I

116
00:06:09.040 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 2>mean maybe, but I was just like, you know, that

117
00:06:11.160 --> 00:06:14.879
<v Speaker 2>would be a fun Christmas topic. So anyway, I've watched

118
00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.279
<v Speaker 2>three Scrooge movies this year, just because we were doing

119
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.879
<v Speaker 2>this episode, and I have to say my favorite was

120
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>the Muppets.

121
00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, dude, yeah, what about y'all? My favorite of

122
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:26.800
<v Speaker 1>all time just that you've ever seen, doesn't have to

123
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.399
<v Speaker 1>be Christmas movie. No, no, Christmas Carol. I've only seen one.

124
00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Oh okay, so the Jim Carrey that's the only one

125
00:06:32.759 --> 00:06:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you've ever seen. It's the only one that exists in

126
00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 1>my well, there are like fifty something. The Muppets one

133
00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I had that on the VHS. Yeah, I watched it

134
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>growing up a lot. That was really awesome. Yeah, the

135
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Muppet one is obviously but also sad. Yeah it really

136
00:07:04.519 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>moves you.

137
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:08.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then like a couple of the live action

138
00:07:08.199 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 3>ones are good. But I mean, honestly, yo, here's the thing.

139
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen this Jim Carrey one that we all

140
00:07:15.720 --> 00:07:20.360
<v Speaker 3>watched since I was a kid, and like, oh my god,

141
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:21.480
<v Speaker 3>Casey had never seen it.

142
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:27.519
<v Speaker 1>Uh, oh my god, is that movie not for kids?

143
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:32.000
<v Speaker 1>It was scary, yo, I was like tripping and there

144
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.199
<v Speaker 1>was a warning in the beginning. Yeah it was scary.

145
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it was like scary and disturbing image.

146
00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.360
<v Speaker 3>Dude, dude, it was like actually scary. And the reviews

147
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:42.360
<v Speaker 3>for it, I looked they were not good. But it's

148
00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.120
<v Speaker 3>because all of the reviews were like, this movie is

149
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 3>terrifying and it's not for kids or families. Amazing, Yeah,

150
00:07:48.959 --> 00:07:50.959
<v Speaker 3>because it's like it's promoted as like a.

151
00:07:51.399 --> 00:07:57.680
<v Speaker 1>The first children is is Dead Marley. Literally it opens

152
00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>on Dead Marley. The first thing you see.

153
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.959
<v Speaker 2>You know it's crazy though, is it's Disney, I know,

154
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:05.319
<v Speaker 2>like they had Yeah, it's just insane.

155
00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.439
<v Speaker 3>Every now and then Disney will do something that's like shocking. Whoa,

156
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah this was shocking.

157
00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I was very impressed with it. Yeah.

158
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 3>I did not remember most of the things that happened

159
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 3>in this.

160
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>Movie, but you're right. The movie literally opens on Oh

161
00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm locked in, dude, I've I've got the whole movie.

162
00:08:23.480 --> 00:08:26.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, which is like for those of you who don't

163
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 3>know a Christmas Carol, I mean it's like probably the

164
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:33.039
<v Speaker 3>most ubiquitous Christmas story of all written by Charles Dickens.

165
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.279
<v Speaker 2>You're yeah, yeah, I wanted to just acknowledge that that

166
00:08:36.559 --> 00:08:39.159
<v Speaker 2>my middle name is Dickens, and actually I am a

167
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.759
<v Speaker 2>Dickens and Charles Dickens is not like a direct ancestor

168
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.519
<v Speaker 2>like a grandfather, but he's more like a great great

169
00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:48.720
<v Speaker 2>great great great however far back it goes uncle. Yeah,

170
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:51.679
<v Speaker 2>my mother's maiden name is Dickens, and that's that's my

171
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:55.000
<v Speaker 2>other family, so it's it's very interesting. Also, something I

172
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.919
<v Speaker 2>realized a few months ago. I was like, wow, my

173
00:08:56.919 --> 00:08:59.960
<v Speaker 2>my middle name and my last name are both authors Dickens.

174
00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, so that's true.

175
00:09:02.279 --> 00:09:04.960
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I mean, I definitely got emotional watching these

176
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 2>movies because I haven't watched a Christmas Carol movie ever

177
00:09:08.360 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 2>since I was a kid. And when I was a kid,

178
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:13.600
<v Speaker 2>I was always ashamed of the Dickens name because I

179
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.759
<v Speaker 2>would get made fun of for it.

180
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Little kids.

181
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.320
<v Speaker 2>They're sure stupid sometimes, yeah course, and you know how

182
00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>kids are, what's your name and Dickens and yeah they

183
00:09:21.879 --> 00:09:24.440
<v Speaker 2>make fun of you, right ye, So like as a child,

184
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.000
<v Speaker 2>I was embarrassed with the name, but obviously that's stupid

185
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:28.759
<v Speaker 2>now and I love my name.

186
00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:30.399
<v Speaker 1>I love my mother's maid name. And all that.

187
00:09:30.759 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 2>But I got really emotional watching these movies because it's

188
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.559
<v Speaker 2>my first time as an adult watching the Christmas Carol

189
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.840
<v Speaker 2>and it was just hitting me different, like, oh my god,

190
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 2>this this was my ancestor writing this story that I'm

191
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 2>watching as a cartoon. Like it just it really moved me, man,

192
00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.559
<v Speaker 2>it it had me really in a in a type

193
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 2>of feel. So I appreciated this episode and the work

194
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 2>to get That's why I watched three movies. I watched Muppets,

195
00:09:57.399 --> 00:09:59.200
<v Speaker 2>the Jim Carrey, and then I watched the Bill Murray

196
00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:02.799
<v Speaker 2>one Scrooged Oh from the eighties. Dude, Yeah, that one's

197
00:10:02.840 --> 00:10:03.120
<v Speaker 2>good too.

198
00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Got about that one?

199
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:06.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I haven't seen that. That one's like a para.

200
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:12.039
<v Speaker 2>It's like, he's not Ebenezer. So the story is a

201
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:14.879
<v Speaker 2>rip of a Christmas Carol, but he's not Scrooge, but

202
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:17.759
<v Speaker 2>exactly the same thing happens, but the characters are all

203
00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:21.159
<v Speaker 2>different names, and he's like a uh, he's like the

204
00:10:21.159 --> 00:10:25.200
<v Speaker 2>president of a TV network and they're literally like in

205
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.000
<v Speaker 2>the movie, they're making a Christmas Carol production. So it's

206
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>on the nose, but like it's happening to him.

207
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:33.519
<v Speaker 3>Gotcha, Okay, I haven't seen it in a while. No,

208
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.159
<v Speaker 3>it's been a long time, bro. It's it's funny.

209
00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 1>I definitely haven't seen it since I was a kid.

210
00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>It was like nineteen eighty eight. Wow, it was it good.

211
00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>I liked it. Damn.

212
00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.360
<v Speaker 3>Before we dive really deep into the story, Uh, let's

213
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:47.360
<v Speaker 3>just take a quick little aside. Do you guys have

214
00:10:47.480 --> 00:10:50.159
<v Speaker 3>a favorite like Christmas movie generally?

215

00:10:57.000 --> 00:10:58.000

00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:29.759
<v Speaker 1>He builds a snowman. He can't sleep, he looks outside.

226
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 1>The Snowman's alive. They go on an adventure. They ride

227
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:35.519
<v Speaker 1>a motorcycle, they fly through the air. They meet up

228
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:38.960
<v Speaker 1>with other snowmen, have a party. They're all dressed differently

229

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.000
<v Speaker 3>I have. This is what it is for me. I

270
00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 3>have like the Christmas movies that for some different reason

271
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:35.759
<v Speaker 3>I have like a special connection to it. I don't

272
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 3>think I have one favorite above all, but like, uh.

273
00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:45.120
<v Speaker 1>What's that? Does it jingle all the way the na Yeah,

274
00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:47.399
<v Speaker 1>that's a good one. It's so dude, it's like on

275
00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:49.879
<v Speaker 1>the list of worst Christmas movies. I know, I love it.

276
00:13:49.919 --> 00:13:54.919
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's it's a good one. It's such a fun movie

277
00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.879
<v Speaker 1>and like it hyped me up. I had it on VHS.

278
00:13:58.039 --> 00:14:00.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just I just related so much to the

279
00:14:00.519 --> 00:14:04.519
<v Speaker 3>kid like wanting that one action figure so bad for Christmas,

280
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:06.559
<v Speaker 3>and then like his dad becomes that.

281
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.600
<v Speaker 1>Like it was just like it actually beats the villain. Yes, dude,

282
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:12.279
<v Speaker 1>that was a good one. I loved it when I

283
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>was a kid.

284
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.279
<v Speaker 3>And then the one that's like literally always on in

285
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:20.799
<v Speaker 3>my parents' house no matter what, when we go as

286
00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:21.360
<v Speaker 3>the Grinch.

287
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's definitely on the lie, the Jim Carrey Grinch.

288
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.799
<v Speaker 1>It's like it's hard to have a favorite for sure.

289
00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Growing up, Rudolph was one of my favorites. Yeah, my

290
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.320
<v Speaker 1>parents always had that one on. Yeah, Frosty the Snowman,

291
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:38.679
<v Speaker 1>obviously the Grinch, but definitely right now for me, it's Christmas, Carol.

292
00:14:38.879 --> 00:14:43.559
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever seen Prancer? No, you never seen Prancer.

293
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 1>That's a fantastic Christmas movie.

294
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:49.080
<v Speaker 3>It's it's like probably probably came out like the seventies

295
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 3>or eighties, and my yeah, yeah, would have that movie.

296
00:14:54.279 --> 00:14:56.519
<v Speaker 1>She would play that movie year round all the time.

297
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:00.000
<v Speaker 1>She loved that movie The Grinch. Yeah, but a specially

298
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 1>around Christmas time. Oh, for Christmas is a good, so good?

299
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 1>That might be top three. That's a Christmas movie, that

300
00:15:08.559 --> 00:15:11.120
<v Speaker 1>is a Christmas not a Halloween movie. Christmas. Don't get

303
00:15:17.000 --> 00:15:22.120
<v Speaker 1>a that's a sweet movie. But honestly, I'm answer, no

<v Speaker 1>night remember for Christmas?

305
00:15:23.159 --> 00:15:26.679

306
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:30.480
<v Speaker 3>just special place in my heart. It's basically like Prancer

307
00:15:30.679 --> 00:15:36.159
<v Speaker 3>the reindeer gets disconnected from the sleigh and like falls

308
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:40.360
<v Speaker 3>like crashes like a star down into this family's like stable,

309
00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.480
<v Speaker 3>and then they have to like nurse him back to

310
00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.240
<v Speaker 3>health and raise him, and they like fall in love

311
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:46.799
<v Speaker 3>with him and all this stuff, and then he goes

312
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:48.799
<v Speaker 3>back the next year to be with Santa.

313
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:53.559
<v Speaker 1>It's like just a really sweet like it's a reindeer

314
00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:54.960
<v Speaker 1>student exchange.

<v Speaker 1>in Vietnam with like war paint on. He's like, find

319
00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:08.039

370
00:18:28.559 --> 00:18:30.720
<v Speaker 3>There's literally like the Elves show up with a contract

371
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:32.480
<v Speaker 3>and they're like, whatever kills him has to becoming.

372
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.119
<v Speaker 2>You're saying, you're saying, now sorry. He starts transforming. He's

373
00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.640
<v Speaker 2>just getting fast, he's getting hit. That's kind of a

374
00:18:39.640 --> 00:18:43.480
<v Speaker 2>horror film. Damn, it's been a long time.

375
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:48.880

376
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 2>And his kid has a hard time believing, remember, but

377
00:18:51.799 --> 00:18:54.240
<v Speaker 2>then in the second one, he's like the kid becomes

378
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.240
<v Speaker 2>like an Elf. Yeah, and he's like convincing everybody else

379
00:18:57.279 --> 00:18:57.759
<v Speaker 2>to believe in.

380
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:00.480

384
00:19:09.680 --> 00:19:12.640
<v Speaker 3>of the later has the kid from Elf in it.

<v Speaker 1>him just for fun. Everybody, I mean too. You know

446
00:22:59.400 --> 00:23:00.000
<v Speaker 1>what this tells me?

447
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 2>Man, he didn't pay attention when we recorded the Spirit

448
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 2>of Christmas anything.

449
00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:07.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked all about it.

450
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>Lets plug the Spirit of Christmas episode where we talked

451
00:23:11.680 --> 00:23:13.640
<v Speaker 2>about the esoteric origin.

452
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.359
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be perfectly about christ all I

453
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:22.279
<v Speaker 1>understand that, and I am. I am bashing modern day Christmas,

454
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:24.480
<v Speaker 1>not what Christmas should be about.

455
00:23:24.559 --> 00:23:29.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I bashed modern day Thanksgiving. Don't just hit back

456
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:31.960
<v Speaker 2>at me for the sake of hitting back at me.

457
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It was so powerful anyway. Let me think of something

458
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:43.559
<v Speaker 1>really was so powerful. It's a Christmas spirit.

459
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:47.880
<v Speaker 2>Was You're not going to trash talk my favoritelity, dude.

460
00:23:47.920 --> 00:23:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I was just. I was just. I was a terrible kid.

461
00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.599
<v Speaker 1>I was getting I was really into like trying to

462
00:23:55.680 --> 00:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>find where everything was hidden he Scrooge man and uh.

463
00:24:00.240 --> 00:24:03.839
<v Speaker 1>But I really loved waking up before everybody, Like I

464
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.960
<v Speaker 1>remember Christmas as a kid, and I would wake up

465
00:24:07.160 --> 00:24:10.319
<v Speaker 1>before everybody. I'm talking three four in the morning probably

466
00:24:10.440 --> 00:24:14.799
<v Speaker 1>right right, you know. I'd the shift was changing and

467
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 1>I would go in there see everything, the trees on,

468
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.200
<v Speaker 1>everything else was dark, all this wrapping paper underneath, all

469
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:25.880
<v Speaker 1>these boxes of different shapes. And then I'd go to

470
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:28.680
<v Speaker 1>sleep there on the couch and I wouldn't sleep. I

471
00:24:28.759 --> 00:24:30.519
<v Speaker 1>just lay there on the couch and just watch it

472
00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.319
<v Speaker 1>until the morning time. And then I remember my great aunt.

473
00:24:35.680 --> 00:24:41.000
<v Speaker 1>My great aunt lived like a block away and my

474
00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.160
<v Speaker 1>mom was one of the videotape moms where everything had

475
00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>to be on camera. Oh yeah, and then we couldn't

476
00:24:46.480 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 1>start until my great aunt came over. But she's like

477
00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:52.279
<v Speaker 1>in her eighties and no one, no one wants to

478
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:56.039
<v Speaker 1>call her and rush her. Yea, We're just sitting there

479
00:24:56.119 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 1>like waiting waiting for her to come over to enjoy it.

480
00:25:00.480 --> 00:25:01.960
<v Speaker 1>And yeah, that was you.

481
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:04.440
<v Speaker 3>Know, bro, I would wake the whole family up. I

482
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:07.119
<v Speaker 3>was the one with pots and pans at six am.

483
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Get the fuck up, it's Christmas's go sand I brought

484
00:25:10.960 --> 00:25:12.000
<v Speaker 3>some shake, Come.

485
00:25:11.839 --> 00:25:13.480
<v Speaker 1>On, I got beat if I did that.

486
00:25:13.720 --> 00:25:15.519
<v Speaker 2>I notoriously had trouble sleeping the.

487
00:25:15.559 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>Night before Christmas, Oh for sure. So there was one year.

488
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:20.039
<v Speaker 2>I think it's probably okay to talk about this now

489
00:25:20.079 --> 00:25:22.160
<v Speaker 2>because it was like twenty five or six years ago.

490
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:23.480
<v Speaker 1>It's probably had enough time.

491
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I was about six years old at this point, maybe

492
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:30.240
<v Speaker 2>seven or eight, and I always as a kid had

493
00:25:30.240 --> 00:25:32.599
<v Speaker 2>trouble sleeping, right, So there was one night on Christmas

494
00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Eve that I really had trouble sleeping. So my dad

495
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:42.000
<v Speaker 2>gave me half an ambion. I screamed in terror all night.

496
00:25:41.799 --> 00:25:44.640
<v Speaker 1>As Oh no, ants.

497
00:25:44.400 --> 00:25:47.400
<v Speaker 2>Were thousands of ants were coming out of the ceiling.

498
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh fuck screaming, Oh no, dude. And then the next.

499
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Day, Christmas morning, I was telling all my aunts and

500
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:57.480
<v Speaker 2>uncles about the ants coming out of the ceiling, and my.

501
00:25:57.440 --> 00:25:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Parents are like.

502
00:26:01.440 --> 00:26:03.480
<v Speaker 2>They felt bad. They're like, maybe we shouldn't have given

503
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:05.640
<v Speaker 2>him the ambien. They broke it in half, you know.

504
00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 2>They're like they didn't want to, you know, to think

505
00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:10.279
<v Speaker 2>that they had done something wrong.

506
00:26:10.400 --> 00:26:13.559
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's so funny. No, that's what That's what southern

507
00:26:13.640 --> 00:26:16.359
<v Speaker 1>parents do. My dad did stuff like that.

516
00:26:36.640 --> 00:26:39.359
<v Speaker 3>The only time I ever went on a plane was

517
00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:41.039

555
00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.160
<v Speaker 1>up from percocet. Do y'all remember the whole Tiger Woods thing,

<v Speaker 2>Right.

561
00:28:45.880 --> 00:28:49.359
<v Speaker 1>He came out and said something. And my whole childhood, dude,

562
00:28:49.400 --> 00:28:51.519
<v Speaker 1>I thought I thought being addicted to pain pills was

563
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:57.160
<v Speaker 1>like popping advil like eminem. Yeah, I had no concept.

564
00:28:56.599 --> 00:28:58.920
<v Speaker 2>Of I've taken lots of pain pills in my life

565
00:28:58.920 --> 00:29:02.640
<v Speaker 2>because I've broken lots of and I am very thankful

566
00:29:02.640 --> 00:29:04.599
<v Speaker 2>I never got addicted. I actually hated it.

567
00:29:05.079 --> 00:29:05.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

568
00:29:05.359 --> 00:29:07.680
<v Speaker 2>And there was one time in the in the twelfth

569
00:29:07.680 --> 00:29:09.359
<v Speaker 2>grade when I broke my arm really bad. The time

570
00:29:09.359 --> 00:29:11.200
<v Speaker 2>that I was long board and I had surgery. I

571
00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.640
<v Speaker 2>was on pain pills for sheesh, like maybe like five.

572
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:17.160
<v Speaker 1>Or six weeks, damn, maybe maybe like three or four.

573
00:29:17.680 --> 00:29:19.599
<v Speaker 2>And it just went by in a blur like it's

574
00:29:19.640 --> 00:29:21.480
<v Speaker 2>just like I've never had was on the other side

575
00:29:21.519 --> 00:29:23.960
<v Speaker 2>of it, Like it just makes your time distorted, and

576
00:29:24.240 --> 00:29:25.000
<v Speaker 2>that's crazy.

577
00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, So let's talk on Christmas Carol. Yes, Christmas Carol, Christmas?

579
00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:35.440
<v Speaker 3>Are we talking about like you can talk about it broadly,

580
00:29:35.559 --> 00:29:36.440
<v Speaker 3>but then we can Yeah.

581
00:29:36.559 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because I'm locked in, I'm gonna be honest. All right.

582
00:29:39.519 --> 00:29:41.119
<v Speaker 3>We'll go ahead and give us like the how does

583
00:29:41.200 --> 00:29:42.640
<v Speaker 3>how does a Christmas Carol?

584
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:48.519
<v Speaker 1>Began? Alex dead Marley, who's Marley the business associate of

585
00:29:49.480 --> 00:29:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Scrooge Beezer Beezer and Marley Scrooge and Marley. Yeah, and

586
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:58.599
<v Speaker 1>it's funny because the sign is big Scrooge and the

587
00:29:58.640 --> 00:30:01.440
<v Speaker 1>EM's falling off. He died seven years ago to night.

588
00:30:02.240 --> 00:30:07.400
<v Speaker 1>So they are like, uh, they're a money maker, they're

589
00:30:07.960 --> 00:30:12.519
<v Speaker 1>money lender. Yeah, OK, so they're they're lenders. So basically

590
00:30:12.599 --> 00:30:16.880
<v Speaker 1>they create, they create money out of nothing because never mind.

591
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:25.000
<v Speaker 1>So its leads you to believe because he gets visited

592
00:30:25.000 --> 00:30:27.640
<v Speaker 1>by these people who are asking for Christmas donations. And

593
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:29.400
<v Speaker 1>this is where you start to see the really ugly

594
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:32.359
<v Speaker 1>side of Scrooge if you didn't already see the ugly

595
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:38.119
<v Speaker 1>side by his little assistant, mister Bob Cratchett, which is

596
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:42.079
<v Speaker 1>Gary Altman. Also Bob crash It is the man. Yeah,

00:30:44.519 --> 00:30:46.559
<v Speaker 1>is dope, especially Tim the Goat.

599
00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:51.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so emotional every time, tiny Tim Man he moves me.

600
00:30:54.160 --> 00:30:59.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah I didn't yep, what you didn't want?

601
00:30:59.440 --> 00:31:03.799
<v Speaker 1>No, just shit, I didn't. I'm not like, oh, poor

602
00:31:03.839 --> 00:31:07.240
<v Speaker 1>poor animated boy, you're heartless when it comes to Christmas.

603
00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:10.400
<v Speaker 2>You know what, his uncle didn't write it, so you know,

604
00:31:10.519 --> 00:31:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I just I just I'm just thinking about old mister

605
00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Dickens all these years ago, thinking about my litteral ancestor

606
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.480
<v Speaker 2>writing the ship. I'm like, dang, dude, this is I'm

607
00:31:19.519 --> 00:31:21.960
<v Speaker 2>just thinking in his perspective, like this guy changed the

608
00:31:21.960 --> 00:31:23.119
<v Speaker 2>world with this story.

609
00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:26.559
<v Speaker 1>It moves me. You know, my sister's middle name is Carol.

610
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah you know that. Yes, yes, I'm just saying, all right, cool, Okay,

611
00:31:36.240 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>So what happens. You're led to believe that Marley was

612
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:43.640
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more charitable because they come in asking

613
00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:49.400
<v Speaker 1>for these donations and Scrooge is basically like, get bent.

614
00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:51.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they were like, Marley said that he would give

615
00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 3>us some sort of contribution, and he's like, Marley's dead.

616
00:31:54.000 --> 00:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, been dead for seven years, dude, where you've been at? Wait? Oh,

617
00:31:57.680 --> 00:32:01.359
<v Speaker 1>you know what's crazy. I understand the frustration for getting solicited,

618
00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:04.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, sure, yeah, yeah, sure, But Scrooge is like

619
00:32:05.160 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the definition of mega mega mega cheap.

620
00:32:08.279 --> 00:32:11.480
<v Speaker 3>He took the coins off Marley's eyes when he was

621
00:32:11.880 --> 00:32:14.599
<v Speaker 3>in his cat, put him in his casket. You know,

622
00:32:14.640 --> 00:32:17.119
<v Speaker 3>they used to put coins on people's eyes as like

623
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:18.279
<v Speaker 3>some kind.

624
00:32:18.160 --> 00:32:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Of to pay the robo. Right, the ferryman, Yeah, we

625
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:25.720
<v Speaker 1>talked about that. What's his name then, yeah, the row

626
00:32:26.440 --> 00:32:32.839
<v Speaker 1>and Greek is k h A yeah, and.

627
00:32:33.319 --> 00:32:37.319
<v Speaker 3>Kiron's the centaur. Yes, he took the coins off the dude,

628
00:32:38.720 --> 00:32:39.759
<v Speaker 3>that's how cheap he is.

629
00:32:40.000 --> 00:32:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Then what he says is Tubbs Tubbs. Yeah, Tubbens is Toughens, right.

630
00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so you're dealing with like the ultimate materialist kind

631
00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:53.960
<v Speaker 3>of wad. Yeah, mega tight wad, like the only thing

632
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:56.960
<v Speaker 3>that's important in life is money kind of guy. Like

633
00:32:57.440 --> 00:33:00.279
<v Speaker 3>obviously everybody out there knows the story, but that who

634
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:00.839
<v Speaker 3>we're dealing with.

635
00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:08.960
<v Speaker 1>So you got titwa McDuck ultra materialism, right, But it's

636
00:33:09.039 --> 00:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>weird because it's not. It's not ultra materialism in the

637
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:18.039
<v Speaker 1>sense of buying materialistic things. It's like buying is off

638
00:33:18.079 --> 00:33:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the table though, it's only making and only saving. He

639
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:25.559
<v Speaker 1>has a very nice house. He has very like you

640
00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:30.000
<v Speaker 1>don't see him wear outfits. You don't in his house.

641
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:34.720
<v Speaker 1>He has one chair, one table, and he's eating porridge there.

642
00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Like he's not. He's not somebody of what is it

643
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:44.799
<v Speaker 1>opulence or ravishness. It's saving the money tight like holding

644
00:33:44.880 --> 00:33:45.480
<v Speaker 1>the money.

645
00:33:45.359 --> 00:33:48.279
<v Speaker 3>If you think about it, is like the sickest form

646
00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:52.519
<v Speaker 3>of that, because it's one thing to like want and

647
00:33:52.599 --> 00:33:54.759
<v Speaker 3>be like obsessed with getting a bunch of money and

648
00:33:54.799 --> 00:33:58.200
<v Speaker 3>then spending it all on a bunch of whatever expensive stuff.

649
00:33:58.519 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 3>But like imagine you're like a dragon like hoarding money

650
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:05.039
<v Speaker 3>and just sitting on it doing nothing.

651
00:34:05.079 --> 00:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>You're so obsessed with it that you can't deal with

652
00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:11.000
<v Speaker 1>letting go of a coin. But it's his money, is

653
00:34:11.039 --> 00:34:14.440
<v Speaker 1>the what's making him money? Yeah? Sure, so sure. But

654
00:34:14.599 --> 00:34:19.440
<v Speaker 1>like the thought of leaving coins on his dead friend's eyes,

655
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.400
<v Speaker 1>like two little, tiny little coins. See, And that's interesting,

656
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:24.159
<v Speaker 1>that's too much.

657
00:34:24.199 --> 00:34:27.480
<v Speaker 2>It's it's such an interesting take.

658
00:34:28.639 --> 00:34:34.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean, Like, you know, I think about

659
00:34:34.440 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 1>I think about my necklaces that I wear and don't

660
00:34:38.079 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>take off. Yeah, and I and sometimes I'll think about

661
00:34:41.880 --> 00:34:47.239
<v Speaker 1>do I want to be buried with these? I don't

662
00:34:47.960 --> 00:34:51.400
<v Speaker 1>what's the point? Yeah, I would rather give them to

663
00:34:51.480 --> 00:34:56.039
<v Speaker 1>somebody that I care about while I'm still here. So

664
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:59.719
<v Speaker 1>it's like, is it necessarily It's like, okay, it frames

665
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.679
<v Speaker 1>it up perfectly. He's a tight wad ye like the

666
00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:06.199
<v Speaker 1>as far as the movie's concerned, it's perfect. But as

667
00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:10.039
<v Speaker 1>far as like the moral compass of what the actions

668
00:35:10.039 --> 00:35:17.880
<v Speaker 1>that he's doing, it's not wrong. It just feels wrong. No, yeah, sure,

669
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:21.360
<v Speaker 1>sure he's not like it's like disrespectful, but it's not wrong.

670
00:35:21.519 --> 00:35:25.159
<v Speaker 3>It's just like a filthy person. Like it's just like

671
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.199
<v Speaker 3>the type of person that you see him, and you're

672
00:35:27.239 --> 00:35:31.920
<v Speaker 3>just like Oh yeah, but he's not like it's it's

673
00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.239
<v Speaker 3>it's not it's writing a weird line where it's such

674
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:38.280
<v Speaker 3>a weird line. He's not necessarily doing anything evil, but

675
00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:42.159
<v Speaker 3>he is just like so extremely selfish and uncharitable to

676
00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:44.960
<v Speaker 3>others that it just makes you sick.

677
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 1>So I'm thinking that there's three places you can be in, right,

678
00:35:50.039 --> 00:35:54.360
<v Speaker 1>and one is being a good person, and then the

679
00:35:54.400 --> 00:35:58.760
<v Speaker 1>others being a bad person and doing bad things. But

680
00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:05.079
<v Speaker 1>he's he's he is just not a good person. So

681
00:36:05.159 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 1>if you're the most extreme version of you're not, he's

682
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:11.480
<v Speaker 1>a bad person. He is bad. Okay, that's true. I

683
00:36:11.480 --> 00:36:13.079
<v Speaker 1>mean he he's truly bad.

684
00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:16.239
<v Speaker 3>He did straight up say like like that. Dude said

685
00:36:16.320 --> 00:36:17.480
<v Speaker 3>something like yeah, he.

686
00:36:17.480 --> 00:36:20.599
<v Speaker 1>Said, is their prisons. Send them to the prisons and

687
00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the nuthouses and and this and that and good.

688
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:25.960
<v Speaker 2>And they'll catch he says, I'm like, they'll catch playing

689
00:36:26.039 --> 00:36:28.239
<v Speaker 2>and die good. We'll kill off the surplus population.

690
00:36:28.280 --> 00:36:31.039
<v Speaker 1>That's right. Yeah, And so we get here, right, Yeah,

691
00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:35.039
<v Speaker 1>And so he's he was evil he's at that point, no, yeah, yeah,

692
00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:37.039
<v Speaker 1>And and I'm glad you brought this up because he's

693
00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:40.440
<v Speaker 1>anti human. Yeah, yes, his anti life. He is anti

694
00:36:40.519 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>human at this point, he's humanity. He's anti like people

695
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.760
<v Speaker 1>getting together to just for one day be happy and

696
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:51.679
<v Speaker 1>celebrate and be grateful, even if poor. His nephews like, uncle,

697
00:36:51.719 --> 00:36:53.719
<v Speaker 1>come have Christmas dinner with us. He's like, why you're

698
00:36:53.880 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 1>you're too poor to celebrate this? You have nothing? Why

699
00:36:56.400 --> 00:36:58.760
<v Speaker 1>would you be grateful? It was it was that, and

700
00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:01.320
<v Speaker 1>it was you don't make money. Yeah, it was like,

701
00:37:01.360 --> 00:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>why are you going to what are you going to

702
00:37:03.320 --> 00:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>stand around and do nothing and not make any money? Yeah,

703
00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:10.039
<v Speaker 1>like for a night. He couldn't deal with the thought

704
00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:13.880
<v Speaker 1>of people doing that for one night, not making money.

705
00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:17.280
<v Speaker 1>So he's it's such an interesting spot to be in, right,

706
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:21.239
<v Speaker 1>it's this weird like because he's not he's not. He

707
00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:25.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't kill Marley, right, you know, but right, he's anti human.

708
00:37:26.760 --> 00:37:30.400
<v Speaker 1>So you have this anti humanistic figure. And this keeps

709
00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:35.000
<v Speaker 1>popping up because his nephew that you brought up made

710
00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:40.440
<v Speaker 1>this comment, which was, can you not just celebrate the

711
00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:45.760
<v Speaker 1>day with the fellow travelers to the grave? Yeah, so

712
00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.639
<v Speaker 1>for one day everything disappears and we all become humans

713
00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:52.360
<v Speaker 1>because we're all just travelers to the grave. The same

714
00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:56.119
<v Speaker 1>repeating theme, And this is why I've chosen my character

715
00:37:56.800 --> 00:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for this episode, because this character ghost of Christmas Yet

716
00:38:01.000 --> 00:38:03.440

<v Speaker 1>and it was so harsh. Well, you're not a good friend. Yeah,

00:38:52.719 --> 00:38:53.840
<v Speaker 1>of shit. He's the worst.

731
00:38:54.519 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 3>He's the worst, and he doesn't like Christmas and everybody honestly,

732
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:01.400
<v Speaker 3>even though he's being rude to everybody like they feel

733
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:03.800
<v Speaker 3>bad for him, everybody else feels bad for him.

734
00:39:03.840 --> 00:39:06.719
<v Speaker 1>He sucks the life out of every situation. He is

735
00:39:06.760 --> 00:39:10.320
<v Speaker 1>a part of going home. Yeah, that's a good point.

736
00:39:10.480 --> 00:39:11.880
<v Speaker 1>That everybody feels bad for him.

737
00:39:11.960 --> 00:39:14.519
<v Speaker 3>Everyone feels bad for you, and he is trying, like

738
00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:17.840
<v Speaker 3>actively trying to make others feel bad for themselves, but

739
00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:20.039
<v Speaker 3>it just makes them feel bad for him, even like

740
00:39:20.119 --> 00:39:25.199
<v Speaker 3>his one single employee, Bob Cratchit is it cratch It

741
00:39:25.239 --> 00:39:29.519
<v Speaker 3>is like like dirt poor. Yeah, he's dirt poor, and

742
00:39:29.559 --> 00:39:31.079
<v Speaker 3>he lives in a house with like a bunch of

743
00:39:31.119 --> 00:39:33.880
<v Speaker 3>people and his kids, and he doesn't make enough money

744
00:39:33.960 --> 00:39:34.719
<v Speaker 3>and all this stuff.

745
00:39:34.760 --> 00:39:35.559
<v Speaker 1>He's very poor.

746
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:39.039
<v Speaker 3>And even he, by the way, just got yelled at

747
00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:43.039
<v Speaker 3>by Scrooge for wanting Christmas off the one day. He like,

748
00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:45.280
<v Speaker 3>you want the whole day. He's like, you really want.

749
00:39:45.119 --> 00:39:46.880
<v Speaker 1>The whole day? I suppose you want the whole day

750
00:39:47.119 --> 00:39:48.559
<v Speaker 1>so you can pick my pockets.

751
00:39:48.719 --> 00:39:54.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, And he's like, yeah, like the day off.

752
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Like even him, he was like, you know, I feel

753
00:39:57.360 --> 00:39:59.719
<v Speaker 3>bad for that old fucker, Like toast to his health.

754
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:02.639
<v Speaker 3>His nephew was like, ah, we feel bad for him.

755
00:40:02.519 --> 00:40:05.559
<v Speaker 1>To said the sponsor of our meal toast. Yeah. Yeah.

756
00:40:05.639 --> 00:40:08.239
<v Speaker 3>And so it's like, even though he's so miserable and

757
00:40:08.320 --> 00:40:11.840
<v Speaker 3>terrible to people, they just feel bad for him. Yes,

758
00:40:13.280 --> 00:40:17.159
<v Speaker 3>But so everybody, you know, whatever, he's the worst and

759
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:20.800
<v Speaker 3>then basically I think it was just it was December

760
00:40:20.840 --> 00:40:24.280
<v Speaker 3>twenty fourth, Christmas Eve, Right, he gets visited by a ghost.

761
00:40:24.599 --> 00:40:28.679
<v Speaker 3>Oh my god, it's so scary immediately, it's as soon

762
00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:30.039
<v Speaker 3>as it gets to the ghost.

763
00:40:29.800 --> 00:40:33.119
<v Speaker 1>Stuff, it's like. So it starts at as doorknocker. Yes,

764
00:40:34.000 --> 00:40:39.880
<v Speaker 1>Marley is in ghost form on his door knocker. Total haunted,

765
00:40:39.920 --> 00:40:44.199
<v Speaker 1>MANSI vibes. Then he writes that off goes inside. Yeah.

766
00:40:44.280 --> 00:40:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Then sitting in his very very poor, very very nice

767
00:40:52.360 --> 00:40:56.280
<v Speaker 1>house with nothing in it. The lights are off, there's

768
00:40:56.280 --> 00:40:58.480
<v Speaker 1>no one home. Yeah, it's a big empty house. He's

769
00:40:58.480 --> 00:41:00.800
<v Speaker 1>eating porridge in his old but amas in his old

770
00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:06.159
<v Speaker 1>room with his old stuff. And here comes Marley dragging

771
00:41:06.199 --> 00:41:09.280
<v Speaker 1>his chains and his weights. And this is very important.

772
00:41:10.360 --> 00:41:13.840
<v Speaker 1>This is very important because of something that gets said

773
00:41:13.880 --> 00:41:16.920
<v Speaker 1>in the end. But Marley is the exact opposite of

774
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>what gets sent in the end. He's chained up and

775
00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:22.719
<v Speaker 1>has to haul around all of the bad doings he

776
00:41:22.760 --> 00:41:27.079
<v Speaker 1>did in life, and he can never stop. So who

777
00:41:27.079 --> 00:41:32.000
<v Speaker 1>does that remind you of a little bit? Nick sisifis

778
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:38.079
<v Speaker 1>it does, that's a good point. Cursed for eternity having

779
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:40.960
<v Speaker 1>to drag around his chains. And then he looks at

780
00:41:41.000 --> 00:41:46.280
<v Speaker 1>Scrooge and says, your chains are much longer even now

781
00:41:48.079 --> 00:41:50.599
<v Speaker 1>you ain't even dead yet, son, and you got more

782
00:41:50.679 --> 00:41:57.440
<v Speaker 1>chains than this. Four chains. Oh dude.

783
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:01.599
<v Speaker 3>It was crazy too, like just seeing him seeing the weights,

784
00:42:01.639 --> 00:42:04.719
<v Speaker 3>like he throws the weights in through the window and

785
00:42:04.800 --> 00:42:07.039
<v Speaker 3>like the chains and all that stuff. And then at

786
00:42:07.039 --> 00:42:10.400
<v Speaker 3>one point he like yells and his jaw breaks and

787
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:12.559
<v Speaker 3>it like splits his face.

788
00:42:12.360 --> 00:42:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Like splits open, which I think has something to do

789
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:18.400
<v Speaker 1>with how he died. It was so disturbing, like I

790
00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:21.639
<v Speaker 1>think he I think right, because his head was wrapped

791
00:42:22.039 --> 00:42:24.559
<v Speaker 1>and his head was wrapped and then his jaw fell open,

792
00:42:24.679 --> 00:42:27.880
<v Speaker 1>so he he died of something having to do with

793
00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:32.679
<v Speaker 1>the jaw or the face. That is really interested that damn. Yeah. Yeah,

794
00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:36.039
<v Speaker 1>his his freaking jaw like unhinges like a snake. It's like,

795
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:38.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, when this movie started scary.

796
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:41.039
<v Speaker 2>Initially, I was kind of like put off by the

797
00:42:41.119 --> 00:42:45.559
<v Speaker 2>older animation style, Like Jenny kept saying, is this from

798
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.920
<v Speaker 2>the people that did Polar Express. It's like, I don't know,

799
00:42:48.239 --> 00:42:48.559
<v Speaker 2>and the.

800
00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:51.679
<v Speaker 1>Polar Express is worse, way worse animation. I hadn't seen

801
00:42:51.719 --> 00:42:52.239
<v Speaker 1>it in a long time.

802
00:42:52.280 --> 00:42:56.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's horrible, And it like at first in the

803
00:42:56.079 --> 00:42:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Scrooge Movie. I was a little like kind of in

804
00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.599
<v Speaker 2>shock because of the animation we have Now. I was like, dang,

805
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:04.559
<v Speaker 2>this really doesn't look that good. But but once you

806
00:43:04.559 --> 00:43:06.559
<v Speaker 2>start getting to the ghosts and stuff, it really ramps

807
00:43:06.599 --> 00:43:09.079
<v Speaker 2>it up, and I was really impressed with all that stuff.

808
00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Like it it ended up being super trippy. I was saying,

809
00:43:12.960 --> 00:43:13.760
<v Speaker 2>super crazy.

810
00:43:13.920 --> 00:43:16.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I was saying throughout most of the movie, like

811
00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:21.599
<v Speaker 3>it's weird, Like one scene would look so amazing, like incredible,

812
00:43:21.639 --> 00:43:24.280
<v Speaker 3>it would look like real, and then the next scene

813
00:43:24.320 --> 00:43:25.519
<v Speaker 3>would be like very.

814
00:43:25.440 --> 00:43:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Not dated, very dated. So it was weird. It was

815
00:43:28.280 --> 00:43:30.920
<v Speaker 1>like scene by scene the movie was like evolving. It

816
00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:33.400
<v Speaker 1>was just jarring. The whole movie itself is jarring.

817
00:43:33.440 --> 00:43:36.360
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of like it almost does have a horror

818
00:43:36.480 --> 00:43:37.400
<v Speaker 2>vibe a little.

819
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Bit like I have to feel like it was its

820
00:43:39.719 --> 00:43:41.760
<v Speaker 1>own purpose. Yeah, I think so too. I mean it

821
00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:44.960
<v Speaker 1>is Disney bro like, yeah, it it is like a

822
00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:47.920
<v Speaker 1>horror movie. Do you think that maybe that they were

823
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:51.760
<v Speaker 1>playing with the past, present future themes throughout the animation.

824
00:43:52.719 --> 00:43:55.599
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that's good because like think about like

825
00:43:55.639 --> 00:43:58.480
<v Speaker 2>when the ghosts are present, the crazy animation like Ghost

826
00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:00.280
<v Speaker 2>of Christmas Present. I know, I jumped a little ahead.

827
00:44:00.280 --> 00:44:01.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not gonna talk about you know, the nature of it.

828
00:44:02.679 --> 00:44:05.360
<v Speaker 2>When the floors ripped open and the world is like

829
00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 2>turning on its side, I was.

830
00:44:06.440 --> 00:44:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Like, dude, whoa, this is kind of crazy.

831
00:44:08.119 --> 00:44:11.079
<v Speaker 3>It is very trippy, like the way this movie plays

832
00:44:11.079 --> 00:44:11.920
<v Speaker 3>with perspective.

833
00:44:12.199 --> 00:44:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, nuts perspective. Oh, it's so cral crazy because at

834
00:44:15.920 --> 00:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>one point with the ghost of Christmas Hity to Come,

835
00:44:18.039 --> 00:44:20.679
<v Speaker 1>he shrinks down to the size of a mouse. Yeah,

836
00:44:20.719 --> 00:44:23.559
<v Speaker 1>but I think that has to do with that particular ghost.

837
00:44:23.719 --> 00:44:27.639
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, what I thought was really interesting about Marley's

838
00:44:27.679 --> 00:44:30.840
<v Speaker 1>presence is the chair is in one part of the

839
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.880
<v Speaker 1>room and when he throws his weights, the chair begins

840
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:38.679
<v Speaker 1>to move around. And when he leaves right like, he

841
00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:41.440
<v Speaker 1>spins the chair, and then on his way out, the

842
00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:43.559
<v Speaker 1>chair moved. It gets caught and moved.

843
00:44:43.679 --> 00:44:46.679
<v Speaker 2>Actually, if you look, I'm pretty sure it pulled him

844
00:44:46.719 --> 00:44:47.719
<v Speaker 2>on a ghost chair.

845
00:44:47.800 --> 00:44:50.519
<v Speaker 1>It did. That's what the chair sat still. Yeah, it

846
00:44:50.559 --> 00:44:52.559
<v Speaker 1>was a ghost. I don't think so it is.

847
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.320
<v Speaker 2>It was a ghost, a ghost chair off the chair

848
00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:58.480
<v Speaker 2>and it had a like imagine the chair had a ghost.

849
00:44:58.840 --> 00:45:01.320
<v Speaker 2>He was pulled the chair stage still, and he was

850
00:45:01.360 --> 00:45:03.440
<v Speaker 2>pulled on a ghost version of the chair.

851
00:45:03.920 --> 00:45:07.039
<v Speaker 1>True, okay, because I was going to say that when

852
00:45:07.079 --> 00:45:10.679
<v Speaker 1>he left, Marley left and the chair spun it went

853
00:45:10.840 --> 00:45:14.800
<v Speaker 1>back to exactly where it was once because it was okay,

854
00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:16.840
<v Speaker 1>so that makes sense. And then that was a theme

855
00:45:16.840 --> 00:45:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that kept happening with every visit is everything would get

856
00:45:19.280 --> 00:45:22.960
<v Speaker 1>put back right. So it's like, is this all in

857
00:45:22.960 --> 00:45:26.199
<v Speaker 1>his head? Did this really happen? That happens over and over, right,

858
00:45:26.280 --> 00:45:28.880
<v Speaker 1>So Marley visits him, tells him he's going to be

859
00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:32.119
<v Speaker 1>visited by three ghosts. But he did say over the

860
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:34.880
<v Speaker 1>next three days, right he did? He did? Yeah?

861
00:45:35.840 --> 00:45:40.000
<v Speaker 3>And then well three was it three days? Because wasn't

862
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:41.599
<v Speaker 3>it Christmas Eve that this happened.

863
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:43.360
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, he said it was going to be over

864
00:45:43.400 --> 00:45:45.880
<v Speaker 1>the next three days. He snaps back to that's right,

865
00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:50.840
<v Speaker 1>he does. He does. So then the ghost of Christmas

866
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Past shows up. Dude, Okay, that was kind of scary.

867
00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:59.400
<v Speaker 1>It was very scary and uncanny, the voice and the voice,

868
00:45:59.480 --> 00:46:03.599
<v Speaker 1>the whisper Jim Carrey's face inside of a candle, like

869
00:46:03.800 --> 00:46:04.239
<v Speaker 1>it was.

870
00:46:04.119 --> 00:46:06.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, the face is changing. I was literally said

871
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:10.400
<v Speaker 2>out loud. It was me and Jenny were making a blanket.

872
00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:11.920
<v Speaker 2>You know how we have those tied blankets and we

873
00:46:11.920 --> 00:46:13.639
<v Speaker 2>were making one to watching the movie and I looked

874
00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:15.599
<v Speaker 2>up and I saw the candle's face changing and I was.

875
00:46:15.559 --> 00:46:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Like, dude, it was scream Yeah. Yeah, you don't have

876
00:46:21.280 --> 00:46:23.199
<v Speaker 1>your headphones on? No, yeah, sorry.

877
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I kept thinking it reminded me of Harry Potter, like

878
00:46:25.519 --> 00:46:28.599
<v Speaker 2>the parcel tongue. They're doing the out like whisper speech.

879
00:46:28.840 --> 00:46:30.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, spooky.

880
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:35.480
<v Speaker 3>So basically, the Ghost of Christmas Past shows Scrooge pretty

881
00:46:35.519 --> 00:46:39.079
<v Speaker 3>much like why he hates Christmas like shows him.

882
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we just we unraveled the trauma. Yeah, from the past,

883
00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:45.559
<v Speaker 1>the trauma he has related to Ye so isolated as

884
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:48.880
<v Speaker 1>a kid. Yeah, it's a light being. It is literally

885
00:46:49.559 --> 00:46:52.679
<v Speaker 1>made of light. Yeah. What I thought was really funny

886
00:46:52.920 --> 00:46:57.519
<v Speaker 1>is Scrooge, Okay, you just got visited by a ghost.

887
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:00.039
<v Speaker 1>Now you're getting visited by what the ghost told you

888
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:02.199
<v Speaker 1>you were going to get visited by. And then he's like,

889
00:47:02.719 --> 00:47:05.840
<v Speaker 1>can you just turn it down too bright? Like he's

890
00:47:05.920 --> 00:47:09.239
<v Speaker 1>just trying to control the situation. So still, it's really

891
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:11.199
<v Speaker 1>interesting and it never ends. And what did it say?

892
00:47:11.280 --> 00:47:14.199
<v Speaker 1>The Ghost of Christmas Past said something to the effect of,

893
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:17.559
<v Speaker 1>with your mortal hands, you would dim my light. Yeah,

894
00:47:17.559 --> 00:47:19.440
<v Speaker 1>and He's like, no, no, no, that's not what I meant

895
00:47:20.360 --> 00:47:22.679
<v Speaker 1>humorously because it is a little comedy esque too, But

896
00:47:22.760 --> 00:47:26.199
<v Speaker 1>yeah it is. It was funny part, yeah it is,

897
00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:30.599
<v Speaker 1>and it was so weird that like the little light

898
00:47:30.679 --> 00:47:34.599
<v Speaker 1>being but yeah, it like shows him his trauma related

899
00:47:34.679 --> 00:47:37.559
<v Speaker 1>to his past and Christmas and why he's all mean

900
00:47:37.599 --> 00:47:40.559
<v Speaker 1>and whatever. His lost love, his lost love, he had

901
00:47:40.559 --> 00:47:40.920
<v Speaker 1>a love.

902
00:47:40.960 --> 00:47:42.519
<v Speaker 2>He was like, I don't know if he was engaged

903
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:44.760
<v Speaker 2>or they kept saying they had a comment pour together,

904
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:47.840
<v Speaker 2>yeah got married. Well they weren't married. I don't think

905
00:47:47.880 --> 00:47:48.119
<v Speaker 2>they were.

906
00:47:48.280 --> 00:47:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I think they were married. I think that's what the

907
00:47:50.039 --> 00:47:52.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of it just said contract. It just kept he said.

908
00:47:52.400 --> 00:47:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I think that was speak for. That was the marriage track.

909
00:47:54.920 --> 00:47:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I I do think so just going with the age,

910
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.119
<v Speaker 1>the time that had passed and that version and in

911
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:04.039
<v Speaker 1>the Muppets version, which you might think that's funny, but

912
00:48:04.119 --> 00:48:06.719
<v Speaker 1>actually word for word, a lot of this version was

913
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the same as the Muppets version. So I have a

914
00:48:08.360 --> 00:48:10.400
<v Speaker 1>feeling they're both just pulling from the book. Yeah.

915
00:48:10.480 --> 00:48:13.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there was never like an express mention of marriage.

916
00:48:13.239 --> 00:48:15.800
<v Speaker 2>So I had this suspicion that they just never got married.

917
00:48:15.920 --> 00:48:16.840
<v Speaker 1>No, yeah, I feel like.

918
00:48:16.840 --> 00:48:19.960
<v Speaker 3>They were like going to be married or maybe they

919
00:48:19.960 --> 00:48:23.000
<v Speaker 3>got engaged. That's maybe what the contract was. But I

920
00:48:23.079 --> 00:48:26.320
<v Speaker 3>tell you one thing. She delivered the fiercest breakup line

921
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:26.760
<v Speaker 3>of all.

922
00:48:26.679 --> 00:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>Times in this movie. She said, I release you. I

923
00:48:30.519 --> 00:48:33.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know what? You know what shot me? Bro?

924
00:48:33.440 --> 00:48:36.519
<v Speaker 2>In the movie, he literally sprints over to her and

925
00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:38.920
<v Speaker 2>grabs her arm and yanks her and says, did I

926
00:48:38.920 --> 00:48:39.960
<v Speaker 2>say I want to be released?

927
00:48:40.039 --> 00:48:44.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Yeah I was. I was like he was yelling at.

928
00:48:44.079 --> 00:48:47.960
<v Speaker 2>Her, abusive, grabbed her and yanked her. He's like, did

929
00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:48.519
<v Speaker 2>I say that?

930
00:48:48.719 --> 00:48:51.840
<v Speaker 1>And it's to show you that, like his obsession with

931
00:48:51.960 --> 00:48:54.079
<v Speaker 1>money has changed him. Yeah. He was so.

932
00:48:54.119 --> 00:48:57.440
<v Speaker 3>Gentle and like loved her before, and you know they

933
00:48:57.559 --> 00:49:01.239
<v Speaker 3>danced together and everything, and then now he's banging the table.

934
00:49:01.000 --> 00:49:02.760
<v Speaker 2>And replaced her as I yea he did. He banged

935
00:49:02.760 --> 00:49:05.519
<v Speaker 2>the table, didn't he. The more we're talking about this movie,

936
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.039
<v Speaker 2>the more I realize actually how good it was.

937
00:49:08.280 --> 00:49:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It was actually like like it was. It was because

938
00:49:10.440 --> 00:49:13.079
<v Speaker 1>I just watched three Scrooge movies. I had a spinning dude,

939
00:49:13.079 --> 00:49:17.679
<v Speaker 1>but was good. It looked a little like, you know whatever,

940
00:49:17.719 --> 00:49:20.719
<v Speaker 1>but it was. It was really better than I remembered

941
00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:23.320
<v Speaker 1>it was. And this was I think one of the

942
00:49:23.360 --> 00:49:26.079
<v Speaker 1>only times when he was with one of the ghosts

943
00:49:26.599 --> 00:49:30.840
<v Speaker 1>where he could not bear it. Yeah, this and then

944
00:49:30.920 --> 00:49:33.800
<v Speaker 1>one other time, but this was even like this was

945
00:49:34.000 --> 00:49:38.159
<v Speaker 1>his greatest regret in life. Yeah, he was enjoying watching

946
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:40.320
<v Speaker 1>all the other memories, Like even when he was watching

947
00:49:40.400 --> 00:49:42.360
<v Speaker 1>himself be alone as a child, it.

948
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:44.199
<v Speaker 2>Was like, those are my friends. I remember them, this

949
00:49:44.320 --> 00:49:47.320
<v Speaker 2>was my school. And the spirit was like, could you

950
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:50.440
<v Speaker 2>do something like do you know where you are? Do

951
00:49:50.480 --> 00:49:52.679
<v Speaker 2>you know how to get there? So there's one look

952
00:49:52.760 --> 00:49:53.880
<v Speaker 2>like I could do it blindfold?

953
00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:55.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

954
00:49:54.159 --> 00:49:59.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, part and he's enjoying watching his uh his what's

955
00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:02.960
<v Speaker 2>an apprenticeship Fezziwigs, which fun fact in the Muppets version,

956
00:50:03.000 --> 00:50:06.519
<v Speaker 2>it's Fozzy Wigs. His Fozzy Bear is the boss. I

957
00:50:06.519 --> 00:50:09.639
<v Speaker 2>thought that was hilarious, dude. But he's he like enjoyed

958
00:50:09.639 --> 00:50:13.440
<v Speaker 2>watching his mentorship. He enjoyed that's where he fell in love, right,

959
00:50:13.920 --> 00:50:16.960
<v Speaker 2>and he enjoyed all Christmas party uh huh uh huh.

960
00:50:17.000 --> 00:50:19.320
<v Speaker 2>And then she comes around and he literally was like,

961
00:50:19.360 --> 00:50:20.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't bear this anymore.

962
00:50:20.880 --> 00:50:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Take me from here. He puts the light out, Yeah,

963
00:50:23.960 --> 00:50:27.039
<v Speaker 1>suppressing his trauma. Yep, he uses a cone to like

964
00:50:27.159 --> 00:50:29.159
<v Speaker 1>put it over the the cone that had been carrying

965
00:50:29.159 --> 00:50:32.159
<v Speaker 1>around the whole time. Yeah. Yeah, the spirit had the snuff. Yeah, yeah,

966
00:50:32.559 --> 00:50:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the candle snuffer put it. Yeah, he put it over.

967
00:50:35.360 --> 00:50:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Then it launched his ass like a rocket. That was crazy.

968
00:50:38.960 --> 00:50:41.639
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it literally launched him like a bottle rocket up

969
00:50:41.719 --> 00:50:42.719
<v Speaker 3>to the freaking moon.

970
00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:45.360
<v Speaker 1>Almost. Boy, that was a NASA rocket. That was That

971
00:50:45.519 --> 00:50:49.440
<v Speaker 1>was Yeah. That was up there. Man, so crazy.

972
00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:53.280
<v Speaker 3>And he basically lands and then like it almost immediately

973
00:50:53.320 --> 00:50:54.320
<v Speaker 3>the next one starts.

974
00:50:54.440 --> 00:50:57.599
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, pretty much. Immediately, I think he's hearing like

975
00:50:57.679 --> 00:51:00.760
<v Speaker 1>somebody laughing in the next room or whatever, and he

976
00:51:00.840 --> 00:51:04.440
<v Speaker 1>goes in there and that was it was that, So

977
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:06.239
<v Speaker 1>we get to the present. Christmas Present.

978
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:08.639
<v Speaker 3>The Ghost of Christmas Present was my favorite because I

979
00:51:08.760 --> 00:51:10.960
<v Speaker 3>was he was he looked like a god.

980
00:51:11.119 --> 00:51:14.280
<v Speaker 1>He looked like a Greek god like or like a

981
00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:17.239
<v Speaker 1>Norse god or something. One of my favorite one of

982
00:51:17.239 --> 00:51:19.119
<v Speaker 1>the things that I noticed that was my favorite about

983
00:51:19.119 --> 00:51:22.440
<v Speaker 1>the Ghost of Christmas Present was with the Ghost of

984
00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Past, they went to the past and the Ghost

985
00:51:25.920 --> 00:51:27.960
<v Speaker 1>of Christmas he had to come. They went to the

986
00:51:28.000 --> 00:51:31.039
<v Speaker 1>future with the Ghost of Christmas Present. They never left

987
00:51:31.039 --> 00:51:33.239
<v Speaker 1>the house. Yeah, they just stayed in the house and

988
00:51:33.280 --> 00:51:37.239
<v Speaker 1>he just showed him through like the reality changed around

989
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:40.400
<v Speaker 1>them instead of them going someplace different, which.

990
00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.840
<v Speaker 2>Was really cool, the present here and now he saw,

991
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:46.480
<v Speaker 2>so he saw his nephew, and this version is true,

992
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:48.679
<v Speaker 2>and all three that I saw, I mean, it's all

993
00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:50.760
<v Speaker 2>the same, but this was identical in all three that

994
00:51:50.800 --> 00:51:55.960
<v Speaker 2>I saw that they're they're playing a game and the

995
00:51:56.360 --> 00:51:59.039
<v Speaker 2>party with his nephew and all these other friends of

996
00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.960
<v Speaker 2>his at Scrooge was invited to this party, but he's like, no,

997
00:52:03.039 --> 00:52:03.400
<v Speaker 2>I don't.

998
00:52:03.280 --> 00:52:05.960
<v Speaker 1>Want to go to your stupid little Christmas party. And

999
00:52:06.039 --> 00:52:09.159
<v Speaker 1>they're playing this game like is it an animal? Yes?

1000
00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Is it a horse? No? Is it in London? Is it?

1001
00:52:12.039 --> 00:52:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Is it an ash? Yeah?

1002
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Does it have four legs? And basically the answer ends

1003
00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:19.079
<v Speaker 2>up being Scrooge right, yeah. So Scrooge hears that, and

1004
00:52:19.079 --> 00:52:20.679
<v Speaker 2>then they all start laughing and they're like, he's a

1005
00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:25.000
<v Speaker 2>miserable old fool and he's so he's witnessing in real

1006
00:52:25.079 --> 00:52:27.440
<v Speaker 2>time his effect on people, his effect on people that

1007
00:52:27.480 --> 00:52:28.519
<v Speaker 2>they hate him, but then they.

1008
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:31.280
<v Speaker 3>Ultimately say like, yeah, but we feel bad for him.

1009
00:52:31.360 --> 00:52:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Let's cheer whatever. And then it shows Bob Cratchit and

1010
00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:40.039
<v Speaker 3>his house and it shows them like eating a goose

1011
00:52:40.360 --> 00:52:43.760
<v Speaker 3>and like wishing they had turkey, and Tiny Tim is

1012
00:52:43.840 --> 00:52:46.559
<v Speaker 3>dying and like all this stuff and they can't afford

1013
00:52:46.599 --> 00:52:49.400
<v Speaker 3>to to, you know, take him to the hospital and

1014
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:51.440
<v Speaker 3>they're like they can't afford.

1015
00:52:51.719 --> 00:52:55.599
<v Speaker 2>You know this part because when he's looking at Tiny

1016
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:57.239
<v Speaker 2>Tim and he looks at the spirit and he's like

1017
00:52:58.000 --> 00:52:58.639
<v Speaker 2>does he die?

1018
00:52:58.840 --> 00:52:59.440
<v Speaker 1>Does he die?

1019
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:02.199
<v Speaker 2>And the spirit it's like he kind of goes into

1020
00:53:02.199 --> 00:53:04.440
<v Speaker 2>this trance. He's like, I see an empty chair in

1021
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.920
<v Speaker 2>the corner corner with crutches fixed in place, well preserved.

1022
00:53:08.440 --> 00:53:10.840
<v Speaker 2>And Scrooge was like, please save him, Please save him.

1023
00:53:10.880 --> 00:53:13.079
<v Speaker 2>And then the spirit's face turned to Scrooges and it

1024
00:53:13.079 --> 00:53:16.960
<v Speaker 2>says something like, oh good, we can rid the surplus population.

1025
00:53:17.840 --> 00:53:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Like oh, like he's seen the horror of his actions. Yeah,

1026
00:53:20.840 --> 00:53:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I love the way it told that. Yeah, you know,

1027
00:53:23.239 --> 00:53:24.519
<v Speaker 2>it's very scary.

1028
00:53:24.599 --> 00:53:28.239
<v Speaker 3>And it was really cool. Like by the way Jim

1029
00:53:28.280 --> 00:53:30.639
<v Speaker 3>Carrey plays all of the ghosts.

1030
00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:34.639
<v Speaker 1>What, yeah, I didn't know that the voices. That's even better.

1031
00:53:35.039 --> 00:53:37.400
<v Speaker 3>All that happened in that scene was the beard went

1032
00:53:37.440 --> 00:53:40.760
<v Speaker 3>away and you saw that. It was yeah, it's all I.

1033
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:45.119
<v Speaker 1>Didn't do that. They're all Scrooge. So the Ghost of

1034
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:48.719
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Present prior to any of this happening, any of

1035
00:53:48.760 --> 00:53:51.679
<v Speaker 1>the ghost activity. He went into that room and it

1036
00:53:51.760 --> 00:53:54.280
<v Speaker 1>was bare and empty, right, and he locks that door,

1037
00:53:56.000 --> 00:53:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and so that makes me believe that that was his

1038
00:53:59.000 --> 00:54:03.159
<v Speaker 1>Christmas room prior to his whole life falling apart.

1039
00:54:03.239 --> 00:54:06.719
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, because after he locks the room, like the Christmas

1040
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:10.119
<v Speaker 3>tree like materializes and the present then.

1041
00:54:10.000 --> 00:54:12.039
<v Speaker 1>He goes in there and it's just like Christmas and

1042
00:54:12.159 --> 00:54:15.519
<v Speaker 1>the Ghost of Christmas present. That's probably that's probably what

1043
00:54:15.599 --> 00:54:17.719
<v Speaker 1>it is. Yeah.

1044
00:54:17.800 --> 00:54:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So anyway, Yeah, the ghost shows Scrooge like the different

1045
00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:24.360
<v Speaker 3>things that are happening in the present as a direct

1046
00:54:24.400 --> 00:54:28.519
<v Speaker 3>result of his behavior and the negative way that he's

1047
00:54:28.519 --> 00:54:29.880
<v Speaker 3>affecting those around him.

1048
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And then then it gets weird. Then it gets really

1049
00:54:36.480 --> 00:54:39.800
<v Speaker 1>weird because he starts talking about strikes. He starts talking

1050
00:54:39.800 --> 00:54:42.679
<v Speaker 1>about like you must know my brothers, like there are

1051
00:54:42.719 --> 00:54:45.679
<v Speaker 1>over eighteen hundred of them, eighteen hundred and forty two,

1052
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:48.519
<v Speaker 1>eighteen hundred forty two to be ex which that part

1053
00:54:48.559 --> 00:54:50.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't really understand, dude. I'll tell you exactly what

1054
00:54:50.880 --> 00:54:54.840
<v Speaker 1>it is. It was the year eighteen forty three. Thoughts,

1055
00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:58.320
<v Speaker 1>he is the ghost of Christmas, the Ghost of Christmas present.

1056
00:54:58.400 --> 00:55:02.559
<v Speaker 1>Every year is only the present Christmas, so like every

1057
00:55:02.679 --> 00:55:04.800
<v Speaker 1>year there's a new one. Okay, that's I was thinking

1058
00:55:04.800 --> 00:55:07.079
<v Speaker 1>about this today, he said. He said in the movie, he.

1059
00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Said, like our lifespan, uh my, cond the lifespan of

1060
00:55:11.639 --> 00:55:14.000
<v Speaker 3>my kind are brief on this globe.

1061
00:55:14.519 --> 00:55:15.480
<v Speaker 1>It's because he.

1062
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:18.440
<v Speaker 2>Lives that year, the present every and then he withers away.

1063
00:55:18.440 --> 00:55:21.960
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I thought, but I didn't really see.

1064
00:55:22.000 --> 00:55:24.559
<v Speaker 1>I put that together because I looked up the era

1065
00:55:24.840 --> 00:55:30.639
<v Speaker 1>of the Scrooge film and Victorian era Europe, yeah, or London.

1066
00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:35.079
<v Speaker 2>Also, we forgot to mention that in general, this story

1067
00:55:35.159 --> 00:55:37.079
<v Speaker 2>is just like a total Gothic masterpiece.

1068
00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.800
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean, the Christmas Carol.

1069
00:55:39.719 --> 00:55:44.119
<v Speaker 2>Just like the fit dude, just like he's always got

1070
00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:47.199
<v Speaker 2>the like thee yeah, the setting, like it's just it's

1071
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:50.960
<v Speaker 2>just pure Gothic masterpiece, which which is an element I

1072
00:55:50.960 --> 00:55:54.400
<v Speaker 2>didn't expect. A man just reminds me of blood Borne

1073
00:55:54.440 --> 00:55:56.559
<v Speaker 2>all the way. And I know I keep saying this,

1074
00:55:56.880 --> 00:56:02.280
<v Speaker 2>but especially the Muppets version, because it's a physical sense,

1075
00:56:02.840 --> 00:56:05.360
<v Speaker 2>you know, and it's I loved that aspect of it.

1076
00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:09.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, so then the clock strikes twelve on the

1077
00:56:09.519 --> 00:56:12.119
<v Speaker 1>ghost of the Present and he turns where there's a

1078
00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:14.360
<v Speaker 1>westshes dust to dust.

1079
00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:18.360
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, gone, that wasn't in the Muppets version all

1080
00:56:18.400 --> 00:56:19.039
<v Speaker 2>that entailed.

1081
00:56:19.079 --> 00:56:22.360
<v Speaker 1>Next, Yeah, it was interesting. Casey mentioned something that I

1082
00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:24.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't really pick up on. First of all, she's the

1083
00:56:24.320 --> 00:56:26.159
<v Speaker 1>one that like told me. I was like, what does

1084
00:56:26.199 --> 00:56:29.119
<v Speaker 1>he mean he has eighteen hundred brothers eighteen and she's like,

1085
00:56:29.159 --> 00:56:30.920
<v Speaker 1>it's it was the years.

1086
00:56:31.599 --> 00:56:34.800
<v Speaker 3>And then she also said that she thinks that the

1087
00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:39.119
<v Speaker 3>Ghost of Christmas present represents like God, like he like

1088
00:56:39.159 --> 00:56:44.079
<v Speaker 3>he is like the Spirit of Christmas, like his jolly demeanor,

1089
00:56:44.800 --> 00:56:46.039
<v Speaker 3>like he's what.

1090
00:56:46.760 --> 00:56:49.639
<v Speaker 1>I kind of thought that too, I I yeah, And no,

1091
00:56:49.760 --> 00:56:53.719
<v Speaker 1>that's just because the I am the present, like the

1092
00:56:53.760 --> 00:56:56.239
<v Speaker 1>presence at Christmas. You were present, right, But then that

1093
00:56:56.320 --> 00:57:00.000
<v Speaker 1>reminds me the first words out of the first Spirit's mouth,

1094
00:57:00.119 --> 00:57:03.400
<v Speaker 1>the light being the past, the first words that he

1095
00:57:03.440 --> 00:57:06.360
<v Speaker 1>ever said was I am yeah. Uh huh, Yeah, that's

1096
00:57:06.639 --> 00:57:07.920
<v Speaker 1>remind him. Sorry, it's a good point.

1097
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:11.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So it's like the ghost of Christmas past, present,

1098
00:57:11.519 --> 00:57:14.079
<v Speaker 3>and future. It's like God, I.

1099
00:57:14.039 --> 00:57:17.039
<v Speaker 2>Don't think that that would necessarily be out of the

1100
00:57:17.119 --> 00:57:20.000
<v Speaker 2>question from the like I'm just thinking, like you know,

1101
00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:23.639
<v Speaker 2>Victorian era actual Charles Dickens writing the story in the

1102
00:57:23.679 --> 00:57:29.920
<v Speaker 2>eighteen hundreds, what he would be thinking symbolically about these characters. Like,

1103
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:31.880
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that's out of the question about it, No, Yeah,

1104
00:57:31.920 --> 00:57:36.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean it's very supernatural, it's very revelatory experience, very esoteric.

1105
00:57:36.440 --> 00:57:39.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like because when we finish the story we

1106
00:57:39.440 --> 00:57:41.400
<v Speaker 2>can get into you know what it's, what it all means.

1107
00:57:41.400 --> 00:57:44.360
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, it's obvious that the Ghost of Christmas Present

1108
00:57:44.480 --> 00:57:47.119
<v Speaker 3>is supposed to be like the Spirit of Christmas.

1109
00:57:47.320 --> 00:57:50.280
<v Speaker 1>He's basically like Santa Claus. He's like ho ho hoan,

1110
00:57:50.440 --> 00:57:53.559
<v Speaker 1>and he's big and jolly and yeah, and so he's

1111
00:57:53.559 --> 00:57:57.159
<v Speaker 1>like the thing laughs a lot lot, which is you know,

1112
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.519
<v Speaker 1>some people have a personal philosophy that the life it's

1113
00:58:00.559 --> 00:58:03.599
<v Speaker 1>a cosmic dance or a cosmic joke, like you were

1114
00:58:03.920 --> 00:58:05.400
<v Speaker 1>present in the joke. Hahaa.

1115
00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:08.320
<v Speaker 2>Would do you guys know about the Victorian Father. It's

1116
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:12.320
<v Speaker 2>like the old version of Santa he was. He's dressed

1117
00:58:12.360 --> 00:58:16.559
<v Speaker 2>like that. He's dressed like big green road kind of

1118
00:58:16.559 --> 00:58:17.440
<v Speaker 2>like pagan attire.

1119
00:58:18.440 --> 00:58:18.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1120
00:58:18.840 --> 00:58:21.800
<v Speaker 2>Remember the Dickens Festival Christmas. They would have one walking

1121
00:58:21.840 --> 00:58:25.559
<v Speaker 2>around every every year. It's like an old Victorian kind

1122
00:58:25.599 --> 00:58:26.800
<v Speaker 2>of rendition of Santa Claus.

1123
00:58:26.880 --> 00:58:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Nick if you need something to do over Christmas, I

1124
00:58:28.880 --> 00:58:32.119
<v Speaker 1>think that would fit what you could get that outfit

1125
00:58:32.159 --> 00:58:35.880
<v Speaker 1>and be that guy. Okay, I'm just saying you fit

1126
00:58:35.920 --> 00:58:37.599
<v Speaker 1>the character. I think that's a compliment.

1127
00:58:38.480 --> 00:58:40.239
<v Speaker 2>It is, Yeah, you do need something to do with

1128
00:58:40.320 --> 00:58:43.599
<v Speaker 2>that was that was the part that I oh, I

1129
00:58:43.639 --> 00:58:45.920
<v Speaker 2>was just making a joke like, if you need something, dude,

1130
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:47.000
<v Speaker 2>get that outfit.

1131
00:58:47.079 --> 00:58:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Well ready right, that was the part I'm flattered by

1132
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the Yeah, move over, mal Santa, Yeah, yeah, hell yeah,

1133
00:58:56.760 --> 00:59:00.639
<v Speaker 1>we got what's it called father Father Victor Victoria Victoria,

1134
00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:03.519
<v Speaker 1>father Victory. I think it's the Victorian father Victoria.

1135
00:59:04.039 --> 00:59:09.800
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, so he dies and then the final spirit

1136
00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:10.800
<v Speaker 2>that haunts.

1137
00:59:10.559 --> 00:59:15.199
<v Speaker 1>Us Alex, Yes, yes, yes, yes, he doesn't say anything

1138
00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:17.800
<v Speaker 1>at all. Yeah, no words, And in fact, I think

1139
00:59:17.800 --> 00:59:22.239
<v Speaker 1>he really only materializes as a shadow. That's it. No,

1140
00:59:22.360 --> 00:59:24.800
<v Speaker 1>his hand will pop out of the shadow, that's true.

1141
00:59:24.800 --> 00:59:25.119
<v Speaker 1>It does.

1142
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:28.239
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and at very first, when you very first see him.

1143
00:59:28.360 --> 00:59:31.679
<v Speaker 3>That was also, by the way, crazy the clock strikes twelve.

1144
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Scrooge like looks down at his shadow, and his shadow

1145
00:59:34.400 --> 00:59:37.440
<v Speaker 3>starts like moving and taking shape, and then you can

1146
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:39.719
<v Speaker 3>see it's like the skeleton.

1147
00:59:39.360 --> 00:59:41.519
<v Speaker 1>The hood in the robe. Yeah, the hood in the road.

1148
00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:44.199
<v Speaker 1>It's standing like this, and then it just like pops

1149
00:59:44.199 --> 00:59:47.719
<v Speaker 1>out of the shadow and grabs him. So at this

1150
00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:51.760
<v Speaker 1>point Scrooge has learned a lot of lessons. Yeah, but

1151
00:59:51.840 --> 00:59:56.119
<v Speaker 1>he hadn't been scared straight, right, because he's still back

1152
00:59:56.199 --> 00:59:59.519
<v Speaker 1>talking these spirits. He's still when the when the when.

1153
01:00:00.039 --> 01:00:04.280
<v Speaker 1>He's standing there, right, and the spirit turns into the

1154
01:00:04.360 --> 01:00:06.679
<v Speaker 1>shadow and they're sitting there in it's dead air and

1155
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:08.119
<v Speaker 1>no one's saying anything, and he's like, come on and

1156
01:00:08.159 --> 01:00:10.639
<v Speaker 1>spin it. I've got time, got to be somewhere, right,

1157
01:00:10.920 --> 01:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>That's a good impression, and then it just knocks him

1158
01:00:15.760 --> 01:00:18.360
<v Speaker 1>on his ass and send him down a flight of stairs. Yeah, like,

1159
01:00:19.599 --> 01:00:23.000
<v Speaker 1>who are you right? You wordle being right? And so

1160
01:00:23.199 --> 01:00:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I love that aspect of it. Yeah, yeah he's not.

1161
01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>He thinks he's right, but he's not right yet. Yeah yeah,

1162
01:00:34.039 --> 01:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>So flies down a flight of stairs, continues to get

1163
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:42.559
<v Speaker 1>beat up, and then oh dude, this one was crazy. Yeah,

1164
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:44.599
<v Speaker 1>it was crazy, and I was kind of fading.

1165
01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:47.960
<v Speaker 3>I'm just trying to remember the sequence of things. Yeah,

1166
01:00:48.079 --> 01:00:51.559
<v Speaker 3>did the grave happen first, or did the horse carriage happen?

1167
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:54.719
<v Speaker 1>The horse carriage happened first, So he gets chased, he

1168
01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:57.440
<v Speaker 1>gets chased and he's running from the horse carriage. Oh no, no,

1169
01:00:57.679 --> 01:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>he lands at the bottom of the steps. Here's where

1170
01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.519
<v Speaker 1>here's what happened. I'm fixed now. Lands at the bottom

1171
01:01:02.559 --> 01:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>of the steps, and the guys are talking about his

1172
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>funeral there you go, Oh, you know, I can imagine

1173
01:01:09.960 --> 01:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>it'd be a really cheap funeral. Who would want to

1174
01:01:11.840 --> 01:01:13.199
<v Speaker 1>go to that? And then the guy said, I'd go

1175
01:01:13.239 --> 01:01:18.199
<v Speaker 1>to that if lunch was provided, and so he's like, man,

1176
01:01:18.280 --> 01:01:19.960
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't know who they're talking about. And then here

1177
01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>comes the horse and carriage. He's running for his life

1178
01:01:22.360 --> 01:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and shrinking and shrinking to the size of a mouse. Right,

1179
01:01:25.599 --> 01:01:31.239
<v Speaker 1>so he's being humbled physically, he's being chased, scared to death,

1180
01:01:31.320 --> 01:01:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and now he's becoming small, like, hey, you are physically

1181
01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:38.559
<v Speaker 1>being humbled right now, you're the size of a mouse.

1182
01:01:39.320 --> 01:01:43.000
<v Speaker 1>And then he ends up in his one his house

1183
01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:49.360
<v Speaker 1>has made his housekeeper's house, right, and she stole his

1184
01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:53.719
<v Speaker 1>bed curtains, his bed sheets, his robe, and she's fixing

1185
01:01:53.760 --> 01:01:55.239
<v Speaker 1>to sell it and she's like, oh, you're going to

1186
01:01:55.440 --> 01:01:56.800
<v Speaker 1>give it to her husband. You're going to be so

1187
01:01:56.880 --> 01:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>warm tonight. We got these shoes. The old man finally

1188
01:02:00.199 --> 01:02:03.039
<v Speaker 1>croaked and he's sitting there on the floor looking up

1189
01:02:03.079 --> 01:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>like that's my stuff, you know. And the only nice

1190
01:02:07.320 --> 01:02:09.840
<v Speaker 1>thing she had to say about him was good riddance.

1191
01:02:09.960 --> 01:02:12.360
<v Speaker 1>I got his steps. Oh yeah, yeah.

1192
01:02:12.519 --> 01:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Then you see the departure of our dearly beloved Tiny Tim.

1193
01:02:17.079 --> 01:02:20.639
<v Speaker 1>Oh he didn't make it. He did not.

1194
01:02:20.800 --> 01:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>The Cratchits were devastated, and we are left with Bob

1195
01:02:25.199 --> 01:02:28.920
<v Speaker 2>talking about his grave being by a grassy green field

1196
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>that he promises to walk by every Sunday.

1197
01:02:30.880 --> 01:02:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and he just bursts into tears. And while he's walking,

1198
01:02:34.559 --> 01:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>while Bob Cratchit is walking up the stairs to go

1199
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to Tiny Tim's bedroom, like he stops when he's face

1200
01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>to face with Scrooge's like spirit ethereal version. So they're

1201
01:02:45.360 --> 01:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>just like staring.

1202
01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:49.679
<v Speaker 3>And like Scrooge is like fully mortified in this moment.

1203
01:02:49.920 --> 01:02:51.880
<v Speaker 3>You can see it on his face. He is just

1204
01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:58.360
<v Speaker 3>like devastated with what his like decisions have, you know,

1205
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:00.599
<v Speaker 3>have done for this family.

1206
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:01.119
<v Speaker 1>Right.

1207
01:03:02.039 --> 01:03:05.519
<v Speaker 2>Then we come to the coffin. Oh well, in this one,

1208
01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:06.360
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't a coffin.

1209
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>No. We go to his bed first, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1210
01:03:08.559 --> 01:03:11.199
<v Speaker 1>We go to the bed first, and there's a figure

1211
01:03:11.320 --> 01:03:15.320
<v Speaker 1>laying under the sheet on the bed and he's scared

1212
01:03:15.360 --> 01:03:16.719
<v Speaker 1>to death. He knows.

1213
01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:18.679
<v Speaker 2>He's like, I'm not gonna do it, and the spirit

1214
01:03:18.760 --> 01:03:21.519
<v Speaker 2>keeps pointing like pull the cover, like look, and the

1215
01:03:21.559 --> 01:03:23.239
<v Speaker 2>spirit begins to pull the cover, and.

1216
01:03:23.199 --> 01:03:26.599
<v Speaker 1>He said, like, good dick, get spitted. Yeah, don't show me.

1217
01:03:28.880 --> 01:03:31.559
<v Speaker 1>So he doesn't, and then you end up in the graveyard.

1218
01:03:31.760 --> 01:03:34.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it doesn't show. The spirit doesn't show him who's

1219
01:03:34.480 --> 01:03:37.119
<v Speaker 3>under the he said, fine thing. Yeah, He's like, fine, cool,

1220
01:03:37.159 --> 01:03:39.760
<v Speaker 3>we'll do this instead, and then he takes him. He

1221
01:03:39.840 --> 01:03:43.119
<v Speaker 3>takes Scrooge to his grave and it's like in this

1222
01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:46.880
<v Speaker 3>like desolate, snowy, like shitty little hill.

1223
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:51.559
<v Speaker 1>It's interesting if you think about the hole back and

1224
01:03:51.599 --> 01:03:53.559
<v Speaker 1>forth that I've been bringing up about him being and

1225
01:03:53.840 --> 01:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>thinking he's been in control. And so then he's like,

1226
01:03:56.679 --> 01:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>don't show me, like he has some sort of say right,

1227
01:03:59.400 --> 01:04:02.079
<v Speaker 1>and then the spirit it's like, fine, but I'm gonna

1228
01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.320
<v Speaker 1>show you anyway. Yeah, like it's just in a different way. Yeah,

1229
01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:05.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna show you something else.

1230
01:04:05.480 --> 01:04:08.079
<v Speaker 3>And you know what's funny, by the end, he was

1231
01:04:08.199 --> 01:04:10.719
<v Speaker 3>begging to know who was under the sheet.

1232
01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna draw a pair a lot of life here.

1233
01:04:13.239 --> 01:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>The same thing happens when you were like, no, when

1234
01:04:16.079 --> 01:04:18.559
<v Speaker 1>you resist what you know has to be done, it

1235
01:04:18.679 --> 01:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>still gets done, just in a different way. Yeah yeah,

1236
01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:25.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean yes, definitely. Yeah.

1237
01:04:25.400 --> 01:04:28.159
<v Speaker 3>So so he's like he's sitting in front of his

1238
01:04:28.159 --> 01:04:31.280
<v Speaker 3>own grave. He like gets up and tries to walk away,

1239
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:34.880
<v Speaker 3>and then the ground starts sinking underneath him, like right

1240
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:38.239
<v Speaker 3>in front of the grave and it sinks, and he's

1241
01:04:38.239 --> 01:04:41.000
<v Speaker 3>like grabbing onto the ledge like no, no, no, no,

1242
01:04:41.039 --> 01:04:42.880
<v Speaker 3>I get it now, I understand the error of my

1243
01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:44.239
<v Speaker 3>ways and all this stuff.

1244
01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:47.679
<v Speaker 1>And the grave is getting deeper and deeper and deeper,

1245
01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and then it starts to glow red, and like I

1246
01:04:50.840 --> 01:04:52.599
<v Speaker 1>was like, holy shit, he's going to hell.

1247
01:04:53.320 --> 01:04:57.079
<v Speaker 3>Like yo, it goes like so deep down and then

1248
01:04:57.159 --> 01:05:00.480
<v Speaker 3>at the very very bottom you can see like a coffin,

1249
01:05:01.480 --> 01:05:05.679
<v Speaker 3>but it's like glowing like fiery red and orange. And

1250
01:05:05.920 --> 01:05:10.519
<v Speaker 3>he basically like he's begging for his life. He's begging like,

1251
01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:13.760
<v Speaker 3>you know, can I change it? Like if I go back,

1252
01:05:13.760 --> 01:05:15.679
<v Speaker 3>can I even change it? Can I change any of this?

1253
01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:17.079
<v Speaker 3>Like what is this going to do?

1254
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, he said, is this oh?

1255
01:05:19.840 --> 01:05:22.559
<v Speaker 2>Because we forgot to say in the very beginning, Ghost

1256
01:05:22.559 --> 01:05:25.639
<v Speaker 2>to Christmas Past was like these are only shadows of

1257
01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.800
<v Speaker 2>what have been. They are not able to see you,

1258
01:05:28.800 --> 01:05:30.880
<v Speaker 2>you are not able to alter them. So then he's

1259
01:05:30.880 --> 01:05:32.880
<v Speaker 2>asking the spirit, are these shadows of.

1260
01:05:32.719 --> 01:05:36.639
<v Speaker 1>What will be? Or what? Maybe? Can I change this course?

1261
01:05:36.679 --> 01:05:39.119
<v Speaker 2>He's like, please, I've learned my lessons, Please can I

1262
01:05:39.199 --> 01:05:41.239
<v Speaker 2>change this this outcome?

1263
01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and obviously the ghost of yet to come can't.

1264
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:48.960
<v Speaker 3>He doesn't speak, so he's not getting any answers, and

1265
01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:52.239
<v Speaker 3>he falls into his casket and then wakes up on

1266
01:05:52.320 --> 01:05:54.519
<v Speaker 3>his bed on Christmas morning.

1267
01:05:55.079 --> 01:06:01.199
<v Speaker 1>He's like, what what is he say? This is the

1268
01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:03.639
<v Speaker 1>most important part of the movie to me. I'm liked

1269
01:06:03.679 --> 01:06:07.519
<v Speaker 1>as a feather. Yeah, I'm as light as a feather. Yeah.

1270
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>He's literally dancing around and jumping around like a little schoolboy.

1271
01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:13.599
<v Speaker 1>He even says, I think like I feel like a

1272
01:06:13.639 --> 01:06:17.480
<v Speaker 1>little school boy. Like he's so full of whimsy, and

1273
01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:19.679
<v Speaker 1>this is like before this is my favorite. By the way,

1274
01:06:19.719 --> 01:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>he would walk by people just singing Christmas music and

1275
01:06:23.000 --> 01:06:25.400
<v Speaker 1>be like, like tell him to shut up, and like

1276
01:06:25.760 --> 01:06:28.559
<v Speaker 1>if people showing any amount of joy was disgusting to

1277
01:06:28.639 --> 01:06:31.280
<v Speaker 1>him and he just thought it was weak. But now

1278
01:06:31.719 --> 01:06:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he's like a little boy, a little school boy. I

1279
01:06:35.480 --> 01:06:37.119
<v Speaker 1>cracked up father.

1280
01:06:37.400 --> 01:06:39.559
<v Speaker 2>When they were like doing carols outside and he jumped

1281
01:06:39.559 --> 01:06:40.440
<v Speaker 2>in on the carrol.

1282
01:06:40.239 --> 01:06:48.679
<v Speaker 1>He did cracked. That was so funny. So yeah, he

1283
01:06:49.079 --> 01:06:52.679
<v Speaker 1>obviously he learned his lessons and it transforms.

1284
01:06:52.719 --> 01:06:55.920
<v Speaker 2>I just loved the enlightened Scrooge man because he's He's

1285
01:06:55.960 --> 01:06:58.360
<v Speaker 2>what I want to be, so bad man.

1286
01:06:58.519 --> 01:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's what we should all listen.

1287
01:07:01.039 --> 01:07:02.719
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to I wanted to make a parallel here

1288
01:07:03.480 --> 01:07:06.360
<v Speaker 2>so my friend Matt, I want to shout out, Matt,

1289
01:07:06.599 --> 01:07:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I know this. This was I just decided to do this.

1290
01:07:09.159 --> 01:07:11.000
<v Speaker 2>This is not a planned plug, but he has this

1291
01:07:11.039 --> 01:07:14.119
<v Speaker 2>podcast here. Matt Bell's limitless, right. I just fle out

1292
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:16.840
<v Speaker 2>to Florida last week to do a show, and Matt

1293
01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:20.000
<v Speaker 2>was like, you need to listen to a recent episode

1294
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:21.440
<v Speaker 2>of mine that I did where I had on the

1295
01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Grand Master of the Knights Templar. Remember I was telling

1296
01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:25.480
<v Speaker 2>you guys today about that guy.

1297
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:25.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1298
01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:27.639
<v Speaker 2>So I've been listening to this episode. Like when I

1299
01:07:27.679 --> 01:07:29.760
<v Speaker 2>go to the gym, I'm you know, doing whatever, working out,

1300
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:32.199
<v Speaker 2>driving in the car whenever I just have a little

1301
01:07:32.199 --> 01:07:34.000
<v Speaker 2>bit of downtime. I've been listening to this episode because

1302
01:07:34.000 --> 01:07:36.280
<v Speaker 2>it's quite long, and I wanted to make this parallel.

1303
01:07:36.960 --> 01:07:39.639
<v Speaker 2>I heard this today on this episode from the Grand

1304
01:07:39.679 --> 01:07:42.360
<v Speaker 2>Master of the Knight's Templar, which is insane to hear

1305
01:07:42.920 --> 01:07:45.119
<v Speaker 2>a grand master of this order come out and speak

1306
01:07:45.280 --> 01:07:49.000
<v Speaker 2>and talk about their doctrine and an official capacity. And

1307
01:07:49.039 --> 01:07:54.039
<v Speaker 2>he said, straight up, we hold the doctrine of reincarnation,

1308
01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.599
<v Speaker 2>that it is about the gnostic ideals, that we have

1309
01:07:58.920 --> 01:08:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the sacred divinity within us that were all aspects of God.

1310
01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:06.480
<v Speaker 2>Some traditions call it the sacred flame, but that the

1311
01:08:06.559 --> 01:08:12.280
<v Speaker 2>whole purpose of incarnation here is to cultivate this inner

1312
01:08:12.360 --> 01:08:16.640
<v Speaker 2>light and adhere to our conscience. He said, we have

1313
01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:21.119
<v Speaker 2>to adhere to our conscience. We have to be connected

1314
01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:25.199
<v Speaker 2>to this inner aspect of our divinity. And he said,

1315
01:08:25.239 --> 01:08:29.239
<v Speaker 2>as within so without. So as you become connected to

1316
01:08:29.279 --> 01:08:32.520
<v Speaker 2>this divine aspect of yourself and you follow your conscience,

1317
01:08:33.079 --> 01:08:37.720
<v Speaker 2>your outward life will manifest to be like that which

1318
01:08:37.760 --> 01:08:39.640
<v Speaker 2>is within. And I thought that was amazing because I

1319
01:08:39.640 --> 01:08:41.920
<v Speaker 2>was like, oh my god, that's the story of Scrooge.

1320
01:08:42.079 --> 01:08:46.039
<v Speaker 2>It's literally the esoteric doctrine. Now, I bring up the

1321
01:08:46.039 --> 01:08:48.159
<v Speaker 2>templar thing because it was relevant, right, but that's in

1322
01:08:48.199 --> 01:08:52.079
<v Speaker 2>general the esoteric truth. I'm just saying the templar part

1323
01:08:52.159 --> 01:08:57.520
<v Speaker 2>because it was like a recent random really cool, a

1324
01:08:57.560 --> 01:09:01.479
<v Speaker 2>really cool parallel, right, but it's literally the story of

1325
01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Scrooge is the esoteric doctrine. It's like, it's following your conscience,

1326
01:09:05.560 --> 01:09:09.439
<v Speaker 2>being joyful, light as a feather, or enlightened to purge

1327
01:09:09.479 --> 01:09:10.560
<v Speaker 2>your negative karma.

1328
01:09:10.920 --> 01:09:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1329
01:09:11.159 --> 01:09:14.800
<v Speaker 3>The difference is that Scrooge was just so willfully unaware

1330
01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:19.159
<v Speaker 3>that he had to have his literal ghosts come and

1331
01:09:19.359 --> 01:09:23.159
<v Speaker 3>grab him by the head and force show him those

1332
01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:27.279
<v Speaker 3>aspects of his subconscious, those aspects of his conscious that

1333
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:28.279
<v Speaker 3>he needed to face.

1334
01:09:28.800 --> 01:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>Like, he was so willfully unaware that he had to

1335
01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>be like smacked. He had a.

1336
01:09:33.399 --> 01:09:35.760
<v Speaker 2>Genuine mystical revelatory experience.

1337
01:09:35.840 --> 01:09:36.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

1338
01:09:36.560 --> 01:09:39.439
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, it's like he had to be haunted by

1339
01:09:39.479 --> 01:09:40.800
<v Speaker 2>these spirits to see that.

1340
01:09:40.760 --> 01:09:43.439
<v Speaker 1>He was asleep. Yeah to the truth. What is the truth?

1341
01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:46.399
<v Speaker 2>It's about your conscience, about being heart centered.

1342
01:09:46.880 --> 01:09:50.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so yeah, that is interesting. Yeah, he's fully like

1343
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:53.479
<v Speaker 1>he's a completely different person when he comes back from

1344
01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:56.600
<v Speaker 1>this experience. He's light as a feather, he's charitable, he's

1345
01:09:56.600 --> 01:09:59.279
<v Speaker 1>giving his money away, he gives he sees a little

1346
01:09:59.319 --> 01:10:00.840
<v Speaker 1>boy and he's like what day is it? And the

1347
01:10:00.920 --> 01:10:03.039
<v Speaker 1>kids like, what are you talking about? It is Christmas?

1348
01:10:03.119 --> 01:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>You idiot.

1349
01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:06.119
<v Speaker 3>And he's like He's like, oh, do they still have

1350
01:10:06.159 --> 01:10:08.720
<v Speaker 3>that big ass turkey in that in that shop?

1351
01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And the kid's like yeah. He's like, go buy it.

1352
01:10:10.800 --> 01:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I'll pay you for it and I'll give you extra

1353
01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and like then he buys them a cab to go

1354
01:10:14.960 --> 01:10:17.319
<v Speaker 1>take it to Tiny Tim's house. He was he was

1355
01:10:17.399 --> 01:10:20.119
<v Speaker 1>like you beautiful boy. And then the boy leaves. He's like,

1356
01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>what a good boy.

1357
01:10:21.520 --> 01:10:24.359
<v Speaker 2>You know whatever he says, he's just praising everybody, just

1358
01:10:24.399 --> 01:10:25.079
<v Speaker 2>giving money.

1359
01:10:25.159 --> 01:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Love that boy. Yeah. He walked by the singing people

1360
01:10:28.000 --> 01:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>and he joined in with them singing this. He's like,

1361
01:10:29.920 --> 01:10:34.279
<v Speaker 1>God bless you. Yeah, you put money in their Yeah,

1362
01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:37.039
<v Speaker 1>I love it. He rode on the back of the carriage.

1363
01:10:37.319 --> 01:10:39.439
<v Speaker 1>He like grabbed onto it and was sliding on the ice.

1364
01:10:39.560 --> 01:10:42.039
<v Speaker 1>In the beginning of the movie, I told Olivia, I

1365
01:10:42.119 --> 01:10:43.640
<v Speaker 1>was like, man, I'll never get to be able to

1366
01:10:43.640 --> 01:10:47.560
<v Speaker 1>do that. Why do what? One there's no horse and carriage. Two,

1367
01:10:47.640 --> 01:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't snow downtown Wilmington doesn't snow around here. It doesn't.

1368
01:10:52.199 --> 01:10:54.600
<v Speaker 1>And then she's like, you do that all the time.

1369
01:10:54.640 --> 01:10:57.079
<v Speaker 1>You talking about my skateboard in a car, Well, there

1370
01:10:57.119 --> 01:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you go. It's like it's different no, it's not. It's

1371
01:11:00.720 --> 01:11:03.039
<v Speaker 1>and it's like if they could have seen that, then

1372
01:11:03.119 --> 01:11:04.640
<v Speaker 1>they would be like, oh, I want to escape. Well

1373
01:11:04.640 --> 01:11:08.199
<v Speaker 1>that's way cooler. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Anyway, it's kind of

1374
01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:10.039
<v Speaker 1>the difference between a black pill and a white pill.

1375
01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>If you just really want to watch a whole movie

1376
01:11:11.960 --> 01:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to figure out the difference between how much cooler it

1377
01:11:14.640 --> 01:11:15.640
<v Speaker 1>is to be white pilled.

1378
01:11:16.159 --> 01:11:18.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no, it is, it's it's I think it's the

1379
01:11:18.640 --> 01:11:20.920
<v Speaker 2>way I think it is. And now what do we

1380
01:11:20.960 --> 01:11:23.439
<v Speaker 2>mean when we say white pilled? Right, you want to explain.

1381
01:11:23.159 --> 01:11:25.880
<v Speaker 1>That, Yeah, black pilled is having a doom and gloom

1382
01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:28.680
<v Speaker 1>nihilistic outlook, and white pilled is the opposite of that,

1383
01:11:28.760 --> 01:11:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like joy, positive, joy, positivity, being light as a feather

1384
01:11:31.920 --> 01:11:35.399
<v Speaker 1>being enlightened, happy, joyful, and enlightened. Yeah, yeah, I.

1385
01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:40.039
<v Speaker 2>Think I genuinely believe that it is the natural order

1386
01:11:40.079 --> 01:11:43.520
<v Speaker 2>of the universe, that the natural way that we are

1387
01:11:43.560 --> 01:11:47.319
<v Speaker 2>supposed to be is enlightened, is light, is a feather

1388
01:11:47.960 --> 01:11:51.039
<v Speaker 2>h following our conscience just generally being good to others.

1389
01:11:51.399 --> 01:11:54.039
<v Speaker 2>And I think it's external circumstances and maybe a little

1390
01:11:54.039 --> 01:11:56.960
<v Speaker 2>bit of trauma for past lives and karma that that

1391
01:11:57.159 --> 01:11:59.560
<v Speaker 2>cause us to be distracted from that and it's up

1392
01:11:59.600 --> 01:12:02.279
<v Speaker 2>to us to try to just get back on that course.

1393
01:12:02.800 --> 01:12:04.960
<v Speaker 2>It's very complicated, multi dimensional thing, but.

1394
01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a beautiful, incredible story that it's. It's a

1395
01:12:10.960 --> 01:12:13.920
<v Speaker 3>story that is told in so many different ways, right,

1396
01:12:14.279 --> 01:12:17.039
<v Speaker 3>hundreds and hundreds of ways. It's the classic tale of

1397
01:12:17.039 --> 01:12:20.079
<v Speaker 3>the evolution of the soul and the purification of the soul.

1398
01:12:20.319 --> 01:12:21.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but this.

1399
01:12:21.119 --> 01:12:24.960
<v Speaker 3>One is done in such a really really cool way

1400
01:12:25.119 --> 01:12:29.199
<v Speaker 3>and true, like kudos to Dickens for the it's it's

1401
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:34.079
<v Speaker 3>really you like, feel every aspect of this story. You

1402
01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:38.800
<v Speaker 3>can relate, Yes, you can very every single aspect of

1403
01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:43.520
<v Speaker 3>this story. And the scenarios that are crafted by Dickens

1404
01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:46.479
<v Speaker 3>are so relatable and they.

1405
01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:49.439
<v Speaker 1>Put you in a state where you feel like you

1406
01:12:49.680 --> 01:12:50.520
<v Speaker 1>are Scrooge.

1407
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:53.199
<v Speaker 3>All of us feel like we can relate to Scrooge

1408
01:12:53.239 --> 01:12:55.239
<v Speaker 3>in a way or another, like we don't appreciate our

1409
01:12:55.279 --> 01:12:58.520
<v Speaker 3>lives enough, we don't appreciate you know, where we came

1410
01:12:58.520 --> 01:13:02.159
<v Speaker 3>from or where we're going, or we're unhappy with Everybody

1411
01:13:02.159 --> 01:13:06.359
<v Speaker 3>can relate even just a little sliver with Scrooge, especially

1412
01:13:06.399 --> 01:13:09.479
<v Speaker 3>when we see how happy he is at the end

1413
01:13:09.560 --> 01:13:13.199
<v Speaker 3>that he has has chosen to not just accept, but

1414
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:17.399
<v Speaker 3>embrace and love his experience, like we can all be like,

1415
01:13:18.560 --> 01:13:21.159
<v Speaker 3>that's it, that's that's the point of life.

1416
01:13:21.279 --> 01:13:24.920
<v Speaker 2>It really is a masterful story. And you know, granted,

1417
01:13:24.960 --> 01:13:26.600
<v Speaker 2>I want to make this clear that I didn't grow

1418
01:13:26.680 --> 01:13:31.119
<v Speaker 2>up consuming this story. I grew up seeing it once

1419
01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:33.479
<v Speaker 2>or twice when I was really little, right and not

1420
01:13:33.520 --> 01:13:35.520
<v Speaker 2>really caring, and it was my mental name, so I

1421
01:13:35.520 --> 01:13:38.359
<v Speaker 2>didn't care. I didn't have a connection to it like

1422
01:13:38.399 --> 01:13:39.840
<v Speaker 2>I do now, is what I'm getting at. So like

1423
01:13:39.960 --> 01:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>watching it with fresh eyes, I'm like, dude, this is

1424
01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:45.439
<v Speaker 2>this is really one of my favorite stories I've ever seen.

1425
01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:48.359
<v Speaker 2>And I'm telling you, I actually get emotional when Tiny

1426
01:13:48.399 --> 01:13:50.199
<v Speaker 2>Tim is on the screen because I just think of

1427
01:13:50.880 --> 01:13:54.199
<v Speaker 2>I think of you know, him being sick and his

1428
01:13:54.199 --> 01:13:57.600
<v Speaker 2>family suffering and being put and then Scrooge being you know,

1429
01:13:57.800 --> 01:13:58.800
<v Speaker 2>so devastated.

1430
01:13:58.840 --> 01:14:00.359
<v Speaker 1>It's it's it's the.

1431
01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Thing that softened Scrooge is Tiny Tims. Yeah, and then

1432
01:14:03.760 --> 01:14:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I think of the wonderful positive ending how he basically

1433
01:14:07.840 --> 01:14:10.279
<v Speaker 2>becomes Tiny Tims mentor.

1434
01:14:10.079 --> 01:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>His second father. Yes, he saves him.

1435
01:14:12.520 --> 01:14:14.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, he saves him, and he guides him and he

1436
01:14:14.359 --> 01:14:16.319
<v Speaker 2>mentors him for the rest of his life, and he

1437
01:14:16.319 --> 01:14:18.000
<v Speaker 2>he molds him and I'm just like, oh my god,

1438
01:14:18.039 --> 01:14:22.600
<v Speaker 2>what an amazing, amazing comeback story. This Scrooge came back

1439
01:14:22.640 --> 01:14:24.439
<v Speaker 2>from the depths of hell and he became the most

1440
01:14:24.479 --> 01:14:26.600
<v Speaker 2>loved person in the town. Yeah, and the movie ends

1441
01:14:26.640 --> 01:14:29.279
<v Speaker 2>were like and many have said for years to come

1442
01:14:29.359 --> 01:14:30.880
<v Speaker 2>that Scrooge keeps.

1443
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Christmas more than any other, basically keeps it more

1444
01:14:34.600 --> 01:14:35.159
<v Speaker 1>than any other.

1445
01:14:35.399 --> 01:14:38.960
<v Speaker 2>But this old ass dude who's grumpy, uh, is the

1446
01:14:39.000 --> 01:14:41.399
<v Speaker 2>talk of the town on Christmas because he's so joyful

1447
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:42.720
<v Speaker 2>and it transformed.

1448
01:14:43.199 --> 01:14:46.319
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So that's what Christmas is all about, Alex. If

1449
01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:46.800
<v Speaker 1>you were.
