Welcome to Episode 32 of Nooks and Crannies! Decant the Halls with Old Growth Grinches or Turning the Tables on Henley Santa? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Epen and Mamoo kick things off with some much overdue weather gabbing, before launching into a Holiday Season babble-festivus! We talk about our favorite holiday movies, including Elf and why Evan has issues with Will Farrell’s elfish-pants…Matt likes his chest hair..so, ya. Stay-at-home parent Matt gives you some solid child-gift buying tips, while Evan and Matt used the tears of Amazon’s Robots to save online. Evan has a weirdly spot-on Seinfeld-esque rant about receiving cliché hobby related gifts and why he keeps buying so many antique decanters! ***14:42 SANTA PART*** Folks who might be listening to this with little ears in the room, don’t know why you would be, but at 14:42 I share the story where I was ALMOST convinced that Santa MIGHT NOT BE an immortal elf from the Magnetic North Pole…So skip forward to 15:33 to hear the rest and the lead into Henley Santa******   (15:58) Hold onto your authentic beard Santy, Mamoo is about to turn the tables on you with the hardest most tangentially unrelated yet all related to phenomenology, questions that have been burning since my childhood! Like, why so many names, what are you trying to hide? How did Rudolph’s nose get that way and how do you get around the world so fast *Aside from methane empowered, carrot infused, reindeer farts! Oh and if my sister’s conduct warranted her perpetual inclusion on the Naughty List, then why did she always, totally, like always get at least like the same level of present if not even better presents for like, seriously, like our whole life!! IT’s NOT FAIR!!! **Spoiler: Turns out, there is no such thing as this list, Santa thinks every kid is special and pure and perfect, but if there was one…boy howdy I just got my smart-alek self on it! Thanks again Santa, I will leave some carrots out that will surely be Glitter Free (LINK book and past episode)! And I will go ahead and drink that beer ahead of time, but save you a wee sip ;) (35:30) To wrap things up, as per tradition on Nooks and Crannies, apparently, we will cap this one off with a little Holiday story. Matt is going to ATTEMPT to read How the Grinch Stole Christmas to wee Ms Vi. If she says, nah guy, then Matt will be solo-reading HtGSC! Plus Violet’s podcasting debut with her speed metal rendition of Jingle Bells! Enjoy the season folks, and for my fellow podcasters, who are grieving as Matty is too, be well to yourself and others over the next few weeks. I am here for you if you need to chat or someone to listen.   Much love, aren’t we lucky, and we will talk to You Alls in 2020, check you on the Flip Side! *Love that phrase :) ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Thanks again for the audio tidy Derek from Rolling Misadventures: https://rollingmisadventures.podbean.com/ Henley Santa’s Books: https://www.amazon.com/Henley-Santa/e/B07Z9JLPX1/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 Partial Proceeds from the Books to support: Stand up to Cancer: Charlie’s Page https://www.facebook.com/charlieilsleyUK/ Santa and the Gingerbread Man w/Voice-Over work from one of his grandkids :) https://youtu.be/VclLmY7WiOg Henley Santa’s Buzzfeed/Amazon UK Ad:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TPdG2vAAeM Santa School, Ministry of Fun, Class of 2018: http://www.ministryoffun.net/santa-school-class-of-2018/ Telegraph Article on the school and incoming class of 2019: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/men/the-filter/11298848/Santa-school-my-gruelling-training-to-become-Father-Christmas.html :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: N&C Links All The Episodes Drop us a line: Nooksandcranniespod@gmail.com Tweet a little Tweet at Us: https://twitter.com/NooksCrannie Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/nooksandcranniespodcast Ponder Evan’s Blurry Pictures: https://www.instagram.com/nooks_and_crannies_pod/ Find Nooks and Crannies on Spotify Follow, Rate and Review on Podchaser (please!)
