00:02:30.480 and I'm like, I'm just saving us.

00:02:33.200 It's amazing that people just haven't moved into my house with all of the...

00:02:40.660 You just called me ma'am.

00:04:32.160 Rescinding order?

00:06:06.960 the whole world doesn't agree maybe Elf everybody loves Elf I hate to say it but I don't I don't

00:06:12.660 the audacity I just don't there's moments of Elf I love it's just that slapstick

00:06:17.460 See, slapstick comedy for an hour and a half straight through is too much.

00:06:23.700 Moments of slapstick I enjoy.

00:06:27.080 But when there's no other variances of comedic sort of whatever.

00:06:30.880 You're just wrong. It's the best movie.

00:06:33.100 This is fun. Let's do more questions.

00:06:34.820 Just so everybody knows, we are now stuck on the DVP.

00:06:37.360 And for those not from Toronto, it's known as the Don Valley Parkway.

00:06:40.900 Or, as we like to call it, the Don Valley Parking Lot.

00:06:43.960 it doesn't matter what time of day you are traveling on the dvp if you are going south

00:06:48.920 there's traffic and going north there's no traffic when we come home i can assure you

00:06:53.400 traffic coming north and no traffic going south i think it's like this cosmic joke on torontonians

00:07:01.560 and i think all these cars are going to the well yeah who are those people over there i wonder if

00:07:05.920 they're just living their best lives in a different dimension because that's never happened to me i've

00:07:10.060 never looked over and gone oh look the other side is crappy on the dvp i'm always sitting in the

00:07:13.920 garbage but we're answering christmas questions so it's okay um hot chocolate or eggnog hot

00:07:19.980 chocolate i don't understand eggnog's disgusting you never i need alcohol i can't do either or 0.88

00:07:32.660 i've never drank it i don't like the smell of it does it taste like like if you pureed custard 0.56

00:07:37.300 that's what i envision it a little bit yeah gross disgusting zero ten more nutmeg though 0.57

00:07:42.900 gross that's close to cinnamon in the cinnamon family i don't want to burn okay christmas 0.51

00:07:47.040 traditions christmas traditions we do your family on christmas eve yeah my whole family comes to my

00:07:55.060 house christmas eve on christmas eve this has been the same way for my entire life on christmas eve

00:08:00.500 my mom makes open face sandwiches for those who are on british it's very very simple you do not

00:08:06.120 close the bread you have half the slice of bread and you put ham salami liverwurst don't come at

00:08:13.280 me um pretty much it's basically like a sandwich it's like a charcuterie board basically but then

00:08:19.920 yeah yeah and then we also have every kind of chip my mom will also purchase although we've

00:08:27.160 kind of reeled her in every kind of chocolate known to man and none of which gets eaten it's

00:08:31.560 We just have all this chocolate afterwards.

00:08:33.000 You know what you do as well?

00:08:34.360 That purple can of chocolates?

00:08:36.660 All the street chocolate, baby.

00:08:38.120 Yeah.

00:08:38.620 That's right.

00:08:39.560 And everybody fights over the purple one.

00:08:41.520 Anyway, so everybody comes over Christmas Eve.

00:08:43.700 We eat that.

00:08:44.640 We sit around.

00:08:45.440 We usually put on white Christmas.

00:08:46.820 Oh, we usually get a strip ring, too. 0.51

00:08:48.180 A shrimp ring. 1.00

00:08:49.260 I heard a stripper. 1.00

00:08:50.900 A stripper.

00:08:51.280 I was like, I have never witnessed that.

00:08:53.660 We always get a Santa stripper.

00:08:56.480 It's a little unconventional. 0.99

00:08:58.440 That'll be the part that Grandma Ruby misses most.

00:09:01.560 We're a Santa Claus, Mrs. Santa Claus.

00:09:05.500 And then, there we go.

00:09:06.860 And then we'll watch, we'll usually put on white Christmas.

00:09:10.200 We will open up gifts amongst, you know, my side of the family there.

00:09:16.080 And that's that.

00:09:17.840 We open up the presents we bought each other on Christmas Eve because my grandma, when

00:09:25.660 she got older, and what I mean by older, when she was hit like 50, she didn't like

00:09:30.500 getting up in the morning so it would make all of us insane so in order and then you know she

00:09:37.520 would get her all the santa stuff comes in the morning but that's okay we wait for her we open

00:09:41.960 that without her in the mornings but at night we at least open up the gifts that we got each other 0.74

00:09:46.460 so we can take our time and grandma can be wide awake for that otherwise we'll be waiting to 6

00:09:50.320 p.m the next day and then the next day on christmas morning i pack up the car and i drive to

00:09:55.940 Montreal because that's where my family lives and then I spend Christmas Day with my family and we

00:10:01.120 do like the regular turkey and mashed potatoes and that kind of dinner and then when we're done

00:10:07.440 eating dinner then we'll open all the gifts because by then Santa has already arrived at the

00:10:14.540 house so we just open all of it and then I'll come a few days later I'll fly out so we can

00:10:19.560 drive back together and then i have my traditional christmas saint hubert

00:10:26.520 nothing says christmas like but you love those fries french fries and gravy at saint hubert listen

00:10:33.800 listen linda that is the best i can't even what was your favorite christmas gift ever

00:10:41.640 mom what was your favorite christmas gift ever i think going way way back it was a bicycle

00:10:47.960 stop it

00:10:49.120 are you serious right now?

00:10:52.320 I've never known you to ride a bike

00:10:54.060 and I used to ride a bike

00:10:55.900 because it was

00:10:58.360 hidden behind the curtain

00:11:00.160 so I couldn't find it

00:11:01.640 and I expected it

00:11:03.280 until finally

00:11:05.500 Santa's tricky

00:11:07.040 behind the curtain

00:11:08.920 we are now driving

00:11:11.600 on the Gardner Expressway

00:11:13.020 it's too bumpy and it's too tilty

00:11:15.460 those who don't know the Gardner

00:11:16.980 it's like off-roading when you go camping but it's a major highway and it's just awful the

00:11:23.560 whole thing is awful and the underneath part is falling like apart in chunks because it's a bridge

00:11:29.860 and you can drive on the lakeshore underneath the gardener and literally you have to be fast

00:11:34.800 like a video game down there you're like oh to the right debris like you have to be on your a game

00:11:40.960 but it's a beautiful shot turn it around show the people get that you have to see

00:11:46.480 and I love this shot coming into Toronto you have to see an app and tower

00:11:49.780 peeking out there we're gonna go along here you're gonna see the Scotiabank

00:11:54.460 you're gonna see the skydome where the Blue Jays play and yes I refuse to call

00:11:58.300 the Roger Center I'm sorry the bumps are a part of the drive if you want to be a

00:12:05.380 Torontonian you understand how to off-road my favorite gift I don't

00:12:09.680 actually i don't think i have a favorite gift but i have a funny story because when i was little

00:12:14.280 i really wanted that game that you pull the boogers out of the guy and then it was like

00:12:22.600 how many boogers can you pull out and then you got to one and then that one booger made his like

00:12:28.600 brain pop out i think what and so i wanted that and so i think my mom ended up getting me that

00:12:36.080 gift for Christmas but by the time Christmas came along I couldn't remember that I liked that game

00:12:42.740 and so I opened it and I was very confused as to why my mom had given me boogers the booger game

00:12:48.080 that's fair it's a solid question we should ask your mom that question about booger game well

00:12:53.700 because I remember I probably said that I wanted it and so she got it for me listen this is you

00:13:00.460 guys have interesting my favorite gifts first of all I have lots of favorite gifts but there's two

00:13:05.900 favorite gifts. Number one, I got a Commodore 64. And yes, that does age me. I think it was 1984,

00:13:11.680 whatever the hell year that was. Now, my Uncle Ray is amazing at hiding gifts and then giving

00:13:17.940 clues. So it was from, you know, the Commodore. This is great lighting. We should do the whole

00:13:22.120 thing here. We're just going to stay under the bridge. This is the dangerous bridge I spoke

00:13:25.580 about. Oh, the Spadina is so busy. So I got a Commodore. So I got a Commodore 64, but I didn't

00:13:35.220 know i got it anyways it was this whole scavenger hunt throughout the whole house and at that point

00:13:39.440 we owned a store up north this huge house my mom and i lived there in one section my two uncles

00:13:45.260 and my grandparents and we all lived and then worked in this general store well i didn't work

00:13:48.840 there but nonetheless i did work there i think that was slave labor but none we can't talk about

00:13:54.260 that um i searched all over the house and when i finally found this commodore 64 it was mostly just

00:14:00.820 to play games and when I finally found it and got on it they had the Olympics on there like

00:14:06.000 Winter Olympics Summer Olympics but here's the crappy part and the funny part my mom Ray and

00:14:11.960 John had all been playing it for weeks prior to Christmas because it was in this secret room that

00:14:17.280 I didn't know and they all had gotten top scores and when I tried to play it against them they all

00:14:23.300 beat me left right and center so that's a little fun fact of how my family works they sneak games

00:14:30.020 behind the children's back get really good at them get all the top scores and then give it to

00:14:34.100 her for christmas ho ho ho i'm the champion sumo race wrestling nobody can still beat my mom

00:14:41.380 at sumo wrestling and i don't think any of us ever mastered figure skating we always ended up

00:14:47.280 on our knees another top five but this is top five favorite christmas songs okay and listen

00:14:53.840 i'm just we're just listing off i'm going one through five one being my most favorite i cannot

00:14:59.300 Don't go in backwards order, hurts my head.

00:15:02.300 Can't start with the worst of the best.

00:15:04.520 Anyways, she's a weirdo, so she's just gonna name five

00:15:07.180 and the last one's, or the first one's gonna be her favorite.

00:15:09.580 Yeah, all right, go.

00:15:11.160 Go ahead, Mom.

00:15:12.000 Okay, Blue Christmas by Elvis.

00:15:14.660 Blue Christmas.

00:15:15.580 Merry Christmas, baby, by Elvis.

00:15:18.240 I'll be home for Christmas by Elvis.

00:15:20.420 I'm sensing a pattern.

00:15:21.640 Santa Claus is coming to town

00:15:28.040 By who?

00:15:30.140 By Elvis

00:15:30.880 And company swagger

00:15:34.120 By Anna

00:15:35.100 Amazing

00:15:38.680 I can't

00:15:41.340 I don't even know Elvis sang that many Christmas songs

00:15:43.800 Every Christmas song

00:15:44.820 If you just remember a Christmas song

00:15:47.400 You'll all have to sing it

00:15:48.340 Alright, here we go

00:15:50.260 Cuffiness Sweater by Anna Bag.

00:15:53.140 Thank you.

00:15:55.020 Then I'm going to go The Grinch.

00:15:58.640 That would be my second favorite.

00:16:01.920 Then I'm going to go...

00:16:03.840 You know what? It's funny.

00:16:05.140 Then I immediately go to, funnily enough,

00:16:09.140 I do like Blue Christmas.

00:16:11.160 I don't know if I put it on first because it feels sad.

00:16:15.220 Blue Christmas, when Elvis sings Christmas songs,

00:16:17.640 I always think he's sad.

00:16:18.980 But I go to All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.

00:16:23.400 It's a great song.

00:16:25.380 And then I'll go to probably Rudolph and Frosty.

00:16:30.860 I stick with the kid version of songs that are fun.

00:16:34.580 White Christmas by Bing Crosby is pretty awesome too.

00:16:36.860 Oh, I forgot that one.

00:16:38.980 Go ahead, baby.

00:16:40.860 Well, I obviously like Comfie Nutsweater too.

00:16:43.120 um i do like i would say santa claus is coming to town by justin bieber mistletoe by justin bieber

00:16:51.860 oh my god um that's three and then i do like obviously mariah carey all i want for christmas

00:17:00.920 is you and my actual favorite christmas song is not a it's not a known one what a shocker

00:17:07.040 um but i mean some people know it obviously but it's called i want to be your christmas by andrew

00:17:12.380 Allen. I love that song so much. It's like, I don't even know where you get these songs from

00:17:19.240 is my bigger question. I think Anna's in a whole different generation. She's not just different

00:17:23.640 generations. It's a whole new planet. There's nobody that's in her generation, if you want

00:17:29.040 to say there's such a big difference, that would ever say, what was that last one? I

00:17:33.860 want to be your Christmas by Andrew Allen. I love that song. It sounds like it's from

00:17:38.040 a boy named christmas exactly is that the theme song from avoiding that was a solid tie good

00:17:43.880 wraparound mom good wraparound very funny so this is it this is the well another floor up there

00:17:54.920 what are you getting babe um well these very nice shoes with purple and orange

00:18:01.480 they're red and stimpy i'm not a huge red and stimpy person but the shoe is awesome

00:18:06.120 so not much was open like seven stores the wells so we're we're gonna go we're gonna go to ball

00:18:12.640 mills because when met with only seven stores what do we do we keep shopping keep shopping

00:18:18.200 so this one is for me it says did i write comfy net sweater and what was my inspiration i wrote it

00:18:24.620 um i did write it but i write with a team of people so i'm not the only writer on

00:18:32.860 the song and my inspiration was originally I wanted to write no originally I wanted to write

00:18:41.540 a song about I heard someone say like oh that person looks like my next mistake and I think

00:18:49.960 it was I think it's a Taylor Swift song I think it's like you look like my next mistake anyways

00:18:54.280 and then I thought of that and I was like well why don't we turn that into like a cute thing

00:18:59.320 which is like you see someone and it's like the what always happens someone in the relationship

00:19:05.140 always ends up stealing the other person's sweater and so i was like well why don't we

00:19:09.420 do a song about like you look like i'm gonna steal your sweater that was worthy it's because

00:19:14.720 you have to be positive about any do you have any negative thoughts ever never like not a single

00:19:20.300 negative thought only about the fruit flies that are accumulating in our kitchen and the smell of

00:19:24.680 vinegar i don't think and i've never seen her react so strongly to vinegar anybody anybody's

00:19:31.360 never reacted but anyways so that's what i thought and so when you see someone that you like and

00:19:35.420 you're like oh you look like i'm gonna steal your sweater which is a cute way of thinking about it

00:19:40.200 and then as we were writing it left well you're borrowing it as we were writing it um it got

00:19:48.620 really really cute and then we're like no this this has to be a christmas song oh i didn't know

00:19:53.860 You didn't know it was going to be a Christmas song in the first place.

00:19:56.160 No.

00:19:56.980 No.

00:19:57.580 Yeah.

00:19:58.360 And then at some point we were like, this sounds like it could be a Christmas song.

00:20:03.380 And then it turned into a Christmas song.

00:20:06.360 And I had no idea.

00:20:08.160 I know.

00:20:08.540 You don't tell me about your life at all.

00:20:10.620 Do we have any pictures of us as kids with visiting a Santa mall?

00:20:16.560 Yeah.

00:20:17.100 I was crying.

00:20:18.740 I was crying in every single picture.

00:20:21.020 I'm pretty sure.

00:20:21.880 I never really wanted to sit.

00:20:23.860 on santa's lap but when i got older i decided to go do a funny photo for my mom and sit on one of

00:20:32.020 santa's helper's laps in the mall in the ashwa center and this santa well had a little too much

00:20:40.500 eggnog and liked me a little too much and that was my experience so i was naughty that year

00:20:52.100 Santa was naughty that year, and as a kid, I'm assuming I had this guttural feeling

00:20:57.320 that maybe Santa's helper, I'd just pause with Santa's helper

00:21:01.600 and wait for the real thing to bring me my Cabbage Patchkin.

00:21:06.120 I never, I don't think I ever did.

00:21:08.300 Never? One time?

00:21:09.420 I don't think so.

00:21:11.660 Oh, wow.

00:21:12.780 Just so everybody knows, we're passing the Toronto airport right now,

00:21:16.180 and we could really just chuck everything.

00:21:19.220 And go to Hawaii.

00:21:19.980 grab a plane and see where it takes us okay and it says what is your favorite christmas memory as a

00:21:29.260 child why are you laughing because she's not gonna have one she's not gonna remember well i

00:21:37.740 did the bike one i think it was okay but do you have any other memories you know you know what

00:21:42.460 actually I have a few because I was really not a good child and I would make sure that I got up

00:21:51.620 before anyone else did on Christmas morning I somehow knew after Santa had been there

00:21:57.160 that I could go and look around and I would I would wake up and I would go downstairs and I

00:22:04.440 would open the presents that I were given up to the part of even listening to an Elvis album

00:22:11.460 and putting it back and wrapping it up

00:22:14.340 and pretend I hadn't seen any of them.

00:22:16.420 Is that because Grandma slept in so late?

00:22:19.280 Why would you feel the need?

00:22:20.940 I'd just be up, I don't know.

00:22:23.440 Maybe there's a lot of time in there.

00:22:25.580 You know, maybe 2 or 3 in the morning.

00:22:28.380 And no one knew I did it.

00:22:30.100 Well, eventually they did

00:22:31.180 because I'd start telling them as I got out.

00:22:34.160 That's insane.

00:22:35.040 I opened everything.

00:22:36.760 Even your dad.

00:22:39.240 I don't know if you remember,

00:22:41.000 but we he got me um a gift one year and it was a great big box or something in a great big box

00:22:50.760 and as soon as i saw it i go oh that's that's luggage and he was furious at me because it was

00:22:58.680 in a great big box but first of all who buys somebody luggage for christmas so that could

00:23:03.320 be nice well i don't know i liked it oh i don't know i think dad dropped the ball on that one

00:23:08.600 no luggage well usually it was going to be a music box or something like that

00:23:15.960 i collected music boxes but oh this but i used to get music boxes from your dad's family

00:23:25.160 nana would get them from the yeah garage sales and they were always broken oh they never worked

00:23:31.400 no so we had a whole bunch of music bosses boxes that never played music i still have one

00:23:38.600 It's so sentimental.

00:23:40.600 Do we make Christmas cookies?

00:23:42.780 Well, we used to.

00:23:44.300 Do we do what?

00:23:45.560 I mean, I've never seen Jo bake a day in her life since we got together.

00:23:50.380 So, first of all, me and my mom and friends of ours, Hugh and June and their kids who are my age,

00:23:58.160 we used to always get together and bake Christmas cookies.

00:24:00.960 We would do cranberry turnover things.

00:24:03.580 We would do chocolate chip oatmeal.

00:24:05.120 And then we would do sugar cookies that you would decorate.

00:24:07.280 And that's what the kids would do.

00:24:08.160 but let's be honest we all decorated maybe three cookies meticulously they 0.93

00:24:13.480 always look like crap and then you just don't come in and throw them on the

00:24:17.040 drink nobody wants to do that for too long I used to make cookies and I'd make 0.98

00:24:22.940 an orange cranberry sugar cookie

00:24:27.260 white chocolate drizzle maybe we should do that

00:24:33.000 But maybe we should bake cookies. Me and you. Sure. Right? I'll give directions. Nobody tells me what to do. I think we should do that. I want everybody to tell me if you have a cookie recipe that you think we should try, put it in the comments. And I'm going to need ingredients by the guy. So don't just throw it in there like I know what the heck I'm doing.

00:24:58.520 last year i actually made for our christmas dinner i made uh christmas wreaths remember oh yeah yeah

00:25:04.600 yeah that's right i think christmas cookies are better a little

00:25:10.200 they have to be thin so they're kind of crispy yes and they have to have a crap load of icing on them

00:25:16.360 yes but just the icing where you do icing sugar with water that's the taste of icing that's best

00:25:23.400 All right, we're in.

00:25:24.640 What do you want for me?

00:25:25.560 Put them in there.

00:25:26.920 Give me some Christmas cookies or Christmas treats or whatever.

00:25:30.140 Make them easy.

00:25:31.420 Actually, when I was little, my mom used to buy all these, like, Christmas crafts.

00:25:36.440 And then she'd invite, like, the friends that I had from the street.

00:25:39.960 And, um...

00:25:41.120 Street friends?

00:25:42.620 Like, from down the street.

00:25:43.880 I get you.

00:25:44.440 And then we would all sit there and it was either, like, an ornament or we had to paint something

00:25:51.460 or build some kind of snowman or whatever.

00:25:54.280 So that's a memory that just popped into my head.

00:25:57.160 Mom and I used to paint.

00:25:59.040 They were from White Rose.

00:26:00.880 They were little ceramic ornaments,

00:26:02.780 and we would paint them every year.

00:26:04.120 Actually, we went through a time where we had a solid collection.

00:26:07.660 I have no idea where they went to,

00:26:09.100 but we'd give them away and paint them and hang them.

00:26:12.140 But they were from White Rose.

00:26:13.580 White Rose is kind of like a craft store.

00:26:15.360 I don't think that exists anymore.

00:26:16.520 No, it doesn't.

00:26:17.360 is there a christmas tradition or anything during christmas that we disagree on everything

00:26:25.180 we don't really disagree on christmas stuff though do we um you don't love how much money

00:26:30.600 i might spend but we don't what do we disagree on we have the same yeah we love the house

00:26:38.420 decorated yeah to the nines we love your fine opening christmas presents up the night before

00:26:44.360 No, I think, I mean, like, we disagree on, like, you like Rudolph Claymation.

00:26:49.460 Oh, we don't agree on a single movie.

00:26:51.540 Yeah, there's that.

00:26:52.280 We don't agree really on any, besides Mariah, we agree on maybe one song.

00:26:58.460 Confidence Better.

00:26:59.580 Well, that.

00:27:00.840 Two.

00:27:01.480 Two songs.

00:27:02.360 Two whole songs.

00:27:03.240 Just put them on repeat.

00:27:06.000 That's true.

00:27:06.700 We don't agree on that.

00:27:08.320 We do love shopping.

00:27:09.420 you look even though you don't buy things the way that i buy things and that might give you

00:27:13.260 heart palpitations you you love days out when we go shopping yeah i don't yeah i like going out

00:27:18.860 you'd like to just rein in maybe you know my my ability to tap it's all on the wrist

00:27:27.100 that's how you talk okay yeah um fake christmas tree or real christmas tree fake we have a fake

00:27:34.860 one but at my house in montreal we've always done a real tree and i love the smell of a real

00:27:42.640 christmas tree that's a fire so if i know if i could catch it on fire i just i would love our

00:27:49.200 house to smell like real christmas tree get a candle but this one also gets weird headaches

00:27:54.440 and stuff but it's a lot i don't look i love the smell look i absolutely love and in all fairness

00:27:59.660 whatever my issue is has nothing to do with led lights you gotta remember i grew up in the 70s

00:28:04.720 Who's talking about LED lights? I'm talking about the smell of a Christmas tree.

00:28:08.860 No, no, I know, but the reason why you get rid of those trees is because we used to use,

00:28:13.460 the Christmas lights everybody used to use when I was a kid get really, really hot.

00:28:20.300 So in my head, it's a fire hazard if that tree gets too dried out,

00:28:25.580 and then all of a sudden goes up in smoke, or you bring critters in the house.

00:28:29.700 I don't think that happens anymore.

00:28:31.040 Well, it doesn't matter. What you grew up with is childhood trauma.

00:28:34.540 Grandma always said, don't leave the candles on.

00:28:37.340 I can't leave a candle on for more than 10 minutes without my grandma's voice in my head saying, blow it out or has the whole house been blow up in flames.

00:28:43.360 That's still a thing.

00:28:44.260 You shouldn't leave candles.

00:28:45.400 Do we play board games and stuff at Christmas?

00:28:49.380 Go ahead, Anna.

00:28:50.100 Answer that.

00:28:51.080 Nobody wants to play with me.

00:28:53.660 But my family does.

00:28:54.700 My family plays a bunch of games.

00:28:58.840 What's that game we play with your grandma?

00:29:00.960 Roomie Cube. 1.00

00:29:01.680 Roomie Cube.

00:29:02.700 We play a lot of that.

00:29:04.540 a lot of the, I love Rubiky, but we also play, she's really good at it, like, like a savant,

00:29:10.360 I've never heard of her, yeah, mom, you might like it, mom might like it, we should get it,

00:29:14.300 I like games, we play cards, we're big fans of you here, I don't know if they mean cards in itself,

00:29:21.900 I think they mean like actual board games, but when I was little, we used to actually have like,

00:29:27.280 I don't know if it was Friday night or whatever, but we would try to find time to do game night,

00:29:31.600 and we would always play Clue and it was my absolute favorite game in the world and I kind of

00:29:35.680 missed doing that. Well we can play Clue. Yeah we can. I like Clue. Okay we can play Clue. I don't think

00:29:43.040 we as a family I feel like we play Monopoly like last year we'd never get bored. Or two years ago

00:30:20.840 out a board game i want to get it i don't know what their name is they always compete yeah and

00:30:25.920 I hope they get those games for free or else.

00:30:28.280 I don't know, but I want all of them.

00:30:30.100 Yeah, that's fair.

00:30:30.620 I'm a real, I like board games a lot.

00:31:17.100 our friends and our family we don't have everybody see them so we have to be careful with what we
