Santa Claus (via his good friend <a href="https://www.thehumormillorlando.com/">Kelly Rands from The Humor Mill Orlando</a>) joins us to celebrate... Well, the North Pole of course, but mainly Christmas! Santa recalls his early days with Burgermeister Meisterburger, and talks honestly about why he's currently spending most of the year at <a href="https://www.thevillages.com/">The Villages</a> in Central Florida. Santa Claus shares his pro tips to a fulfilling Yuletide season, tells us about balancing the demands of his job and his marriage to Mrs. Claus, and plays a new game we invented just for him: WHAT ARE THEY GETTING? PLUS: Santa won't stop calling me Billy.SPONSORED BYSUBSCRIBE TO WHERE I'M FROM<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/where-im-from/id1641156954">Apple Podcasts</a> <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/5U2hbggLWXDoiiscR2Iu0y">Spotify</a> <a href="https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/6915b141-7c50-4d41-b0ee-a4fe5e2a4ebb/where-i'm-from">Amazon</a> <a href="https://feeds.transistor.fm/where-im-from">RSS</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClcoVeYnkhFj1vNOkPsGjXw">YouTube (Live Streams)</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC37E864pk41lKlSU3-s9bsw">YouTube (Episodes)</a> LINKS <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wk2LoAvEYNg">Full Uncut Interview (Livestream)</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@whereimfrompodcast">Where I'm From YouTube Channel</a> <a href="https://www.thehumormillorlando.com/">The Humor Mill Orlando</a> <a href="https://christmas-specials.fandom.com/wiki/Burgermeister_Meisterburger">Burgermeister Meisterburger</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQvTUJJ6kE">2020 Central Florida Sketch Comedy Festival</a> <a href="https://www.thevillages.com/">The Villages</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/">Santa Claus is Coming To Town</a> <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089488/">The Life &amp; Adventures of Santa Claus</a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=we+made+it+up">The Elf Riots of 1536</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rz_x8KZk1E">Mcdonald's Santa Clause The Movie Christmas Happy Meal Commercial</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violent_Night">Violent Night</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20180118211750/http://movies.disney.com/the-santa-clause">The Santa Clause</a> <a href="https://archive.org/details/SantaClausConquersTheMartiansDVD">Santa Claus Conquers The Martians</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracle_on_34th_Street">Miracle on 34th Street</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Polar_Express_(film)">The Polar Express</a>TIMESTAMPS 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:19 How Old Is Santa? 00:03:22 Santa Calls Bill "Billy" 00:04:24 Why Is Santa in Winter Haven, Florida? 00:05:10 - North Pole Chili's 00:07:03 - The Villages 00:08:02 Even Santa Works Remote 00:08:59 The Secret Origin of Santa Claus 00:10:10 - Santa Claus is a Hufflepuff 00:11:15 Mrs. Claus 00:11:54 Santa's Favorite Santa Movies 00:12:28 - The Santa Clause 00:12:28 - Violent Night 00:13:13 - Santa Claus Conquers The Martians 00:15:36 Santa's Favorite Teachers 00:16:20 - Santa's Cats 00:17:40 The Saddest Thing Santa's Seen 00:19:11 Cookie Talk 00:20:13 Santa's Thoughts on "Keep Christmas In December" 00:21:11 How Santa Learned To Make Toys 00:22:45 The Elf Riots of 1536 00:24:57 A Coal Conundrum 00:27:25 Streann Studio Ad Read 00:28:56 The Dark Side of the Reindeer 00:31:35 Santa Is The Real Florida Man 00:32:48 Job Stress and Santa's Marriage 00:32:48 A Chat Message from "Rudolpho" 00:35:45 Should We Still Be Giving Each Other Christmas Presents? 00:39:07 - Bill Doesn't Want To Get Angry At Santa 00:40:01 Santa's Favorite Santa Claus Story 00:40:11 - Miracle on 34th Street (1947) 00:40:28 - The Polar Express 00:42:10 What Are They Getting? 00:50:11 The Humor Mill Orlando 00:51:27 Santa Goes Hard Against Commercialism 00:52:40 The Elves Party Hard 00:54:25 Santa Loves Rap 00:54:51 - Santa Raps 00:56:21 Santra Addresses Labor Issues and THAT New York Post Article 00:59:26 How Many Children Has Santa Delivered Presents To? 01:00:27 Santa's Relationship with McDonald's 01:05:03 What Does Santa Want For Christmas? 01:08:57 Wheel of Anecdotes 01:14:57 Close
