  • WHERE I'M FROM: Santa Claus from the North Pole

    WHERE I'M FROM: Santa Claus from the North Pole
    Dec 25 2022
    Santa Claus (via his good friend Kelly Rands from The Humor Mill Orlando) 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 The Villages 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 FROMApple PodcastsSpotifyAmazonRSSYouTube (Live Streams)YouTube (Episodes) LINKSFull Uncut Interview (Livestream)Where I'm From YouTube ChannelThe Humor Mill OrlandoBurgermeister Meisterburger2020 Central Florida Sketch Comedy FestivalThe VillagesSanta Claus is Coming To TownThe Life & Adventures of Santa ClausThe Elf Riots of 1536Mcdonald's Santa Clause The Movie Christmas Happy Meal CommercialViolent NightThe Santa ClauseSanta Claus Conquers The MartiansMiracle on 34th StreetThe Polar ExpressTIMESTAMPS00:00:00 Intro00:02:19 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's00:07:03 - The Villages00:08:02 Even Santa Works Remote00:08:59 The Secret Origin of Santa Claus00:10:10 - Santa Claus is a Hufflepuff00:11:15 Mrs. Claus00:11:54 Santa's Favorite Santa Movies00:12:28 - The Santa Clause00:12:28 - Violent Night00:13:13 - Santa Claus Conquers The Martians00:15:36 Santa's Favorite Teachers00:16:20 - Santa's Cats00:17:40 The Saddest Thing Santa's Seen00:19:11 Cookie Talk00:20:13 Santa's Thoughts on "Keep Christmas In December"00:21:11 How Santa Learned To Make Toys00:22:45 The Elf Riots of 153600:24:57 A Coal Conundrum00:27:25 Streann Studio Ad Read00:28:56 The Dark Side of the Reindeer00:31:35 Santa Is The Real Florida Man00:32:48 Job Stress and Santa's Marriage00:32:48 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 Santa00:40:01 Santa's Favorite Santa Claus Story00:40:11 - Miracle on 34th Street (1947)00:40:28 - The Polar Express00:42:10 What Are They Getting?00:50:11 The Humor Mill Orlando00:51:27 Santa Goes Hard Against Commercialism00:52:40 The Elves Party Hard00:54:25 Santa Loves Rap00:54:51 - Santa Raps00:56:21 Santra Addresses Labor Issues and THAT New York Post Article00:59:26 How Many Children Has Santa Delivered Presents To?01:00:27 Santa's Relationship with McDonald's01:05:03 What Does Santa Want For Christmas?01:08:57 Wheel of Anecdotes01:14:57 Close
