Christmas Special 2024

Welcome to the OGG and Christmas special episode. We are here with a sizable portion of the team here, and I would argue all the coolest kids, plus business daddy LaCour. Mark, why don't you say hey? Hello, everybody. That was Mark.

Awesome page. Hey, what's up? I'm a host on Oil and Gas this week, and Oil and Gas industry leaders, and I have tiny hands. And very red lipstick.

We're all grateful for Joe Betear. Yes, hello, everybody. I am the host of the Energy Transitions Solutions podcast. Yes, you are. Russell. Russell Stewart.

I'm the host of the OGG and HSC podcast. I'm also the oldest, most technologically challenged. And I don't want to say I'm old and worn out, but I make sure I'm nowhere near the curb on trash day. Also the most stately enhancement gentlemen here. Andrew, a new host we got lined up.

Why don't you say something, Andrew? Hello. Hey, everybody. I'm Andrew Kristowski, host of the newest show on OGGN, the Connected Worker podcast. Great to be here.

Great to have you. Audrey. Shalom. Cool. I'm a co-host with Paige on the five-size-none podcast. Oh, I forgot that one.

My bad. Wow. Wow. It's a great show. Check it out. Check it out.

Dude, I have three. Delfina. What do you got? Hello, everybody. I am the host of Champions of Sustainability. And I am one of the 16 listeners of Jordan Driscoll's

political show. Loyal 16, baby. Love that. Elena. I'm Elena Melkert. I'm the host of Oil and Gas Upstream.

Yes, you are. Casey. I just wondered if Elena was that field and stream. No. Hi, everybody. Hi, everyone.

I'm Casey Yost. I'm the second-level newbie here. I host the Energy Pipeline podcast sponsored by Caterpillar Oil and Gas. Got to get that plug in. Hashtag sponsors. Hey, you might be second in terms of newbie, but you're first in my heart.

And of course, I'm Jordan Driscoll host of Context is for King with its groundbreaking 17 listeners and 1 billion band listeners. Or so I don't know what China's population. China. Yeah. China.

But all in all, we are good. We're here today to do the Christmas episodes. We're glad you joined us. I'm going to hand it off to my boy Russell, who is going to give us a quiz to test our festive knowledge. Russell, take it away.

Okay. So these questions have been hermetically sealed and a man aged R on Orville Redbacker's front porch or whatever that was. So don't blame me for the questions here. I'm just, you know, just, I'm like Will Rogers. All I know is what I read in the newspapers.

So we're going to start off with a real easy one here first. What is the full name of Santa Claus? Is it Saint Nick, Saint Colossus, Saint Charles or Saint Nicholas? Saint Nicholas. All right. I told you, I told you that was an easy one.

I think Saint Colossus is the best name now. Okay. Who is not one of Santa's reindeer in the song root off the red nose reindeer? Snoopy. Francer, Donner or Chopper? Chopper.

Chopper. Chopper. Okay. All right. They get harder. Okay.

How many ghosts appeared in a Christmas carol? Three. Is it four, five, three or 12? Three. Three. Fourteen.

The number is four. Oh, that's four. Oh, Marley. Yep. Oh yeah. Old Fezzi way.

Good. Yeah. All right. It's been a long 12 days of Christmas. What new gift did their true love send on the ninth day? Piper's piping, maids of milking, lords of leaping or ladies dancing?

Ladies dancing. Ladies dancing. Ladies dancing. Do you guys are good? Wow. That is absolutely correct.

I was going to go for maids of milking, but. All right. This is, this one's too easy. Will, can I add a quick story there? Go ahead. So every year at the Dallas Arboretum, if you're in the Dallas area, they have a setup,

both Santa's Village, but then they also have stages for each of the 12 days of Christmas that are like these little animatronic things that show whatever that day is. So. That is too cool. I wouldn't know all 12 days, but I have seen all 12 days. Some of them more appropriate than others.

And my 12 days of Christmas story is not as good as Joe's, but at the Kennedy Center, they always have the children's program on like a Saturday matinee and you have to act out the 12 days of Christmas and a partridge in a pear tree. Well, since we're telling stories, when I was in the 80s, when I was in Germany for Christmas in the Marine Corps, I came to the barracks and there was this little pine tree in a bucket. It did not have a single needle on the pine tree.

And there was a 308 empty round tied with a red ribbon to the middle of the tree. And I go, what is this? And they go, it's a cartridge in a bear tree. That's good. You know, I wasn't going to get into those silly trivia things, but well, maybe. Hey, this next one's too easy, but I'm going to see if Jordan has something lewd to say about it.

When you're under a mistletoe, it means what? You're getting lucky tonight. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I'll change my answer. This might get edited out and Pettus will say, if you're under a mistletoe, she pretty much has to. Yeah, that one will have to be edited out. Okay.

All right. This monster is said to be the evil counterpart of Santa Claus punishing misbehaving children on Christmas. Is it the Gremlin? Jordan Driscoll. The Leprechaun. The Wendigo or the Krampus?

Krampus. Krampus. Krampus. Krampus. That's correct. Okay.

All right. Who's saying I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus? Tammy Wynette. I don't know. Okay. Here's your choice.

Gary. Vince. Gary Aldi. Trio. The Ronettes or the Jackson Five? Jackson Five.

You're absolutely right. That's exactly right. Really? Oh, she got that one right. I would have said Shirley Temple, but I don't know. Who wrote how the Grinch stole Christmas?

Everybody knows that. Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss. Dr. Seuss. Okay. All right.

That one was too easy. My favorite. Okay. Where was Jesus born in Babylon, Galilee, Eden, or Bethlehem? Bethlehem. Bethlehem.

Bethlehem. I'm impressed. Okay. What was used for Frosty the Snowman's nose? Button. A carrot.

Carrot. Carrot. I mean, your song says button nose. Your choice is carrot. Your choice is carrot. Cold radish or button?

Button. You're going with button, huh? I'm going with button. Button. You're going with button, huh? I'm going with button.

Button nose and two eyes made out of coal. Exactly. Oh, you're right. I didn't say that. All right. Button.

Come on, Russell. Button is cruel. You should have chosen the carrot. Okay. What about the snowman? What about the red one?

What's that movie? Red one. I don't know. That's a new movie for Christmas. It's this army of snowmen because they've taken the North Pole. They all have carrots for their nose, so that's why I thought that.

If it wasn't carrot, it's more dangerous than a button. So I was going to be in an army of snowmen. I would have a carrot nose. Speaking of movies, which actor played six characters in the movie Polar Express? Jim Carrey, John Hutcherson, Stephen Tyler or Tom Hanks? Tom Hanks.

Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks. That's correct. The first artificial Christmas tree was made with feathers from which bird? A chicken, an ostrich, a swan or a goose? Ostrich.

Ostrich. The answer is goose. Boom. That is a boring tree. Not to the goose. That's a dangerous tree.

Which holiday is Christmas on December 26, a day after Christmas in the UK? Boxing day. Boxing day. That's exactly right. We had to get that in for our international audience though, okay? Which is a song by Elvis Presley?

White Christmas, Green Christmas, Red Christmas or Blue Christmas? Blue. That's right. Can you sing a little bit of it for us? Santa's favorite singer is Elvis Presley. Sing it.

Sing it. Let's see. I'll have a blue, blue Christmas without you. Without you. And when those blue heartaches start hurting. Okay, somebody get a lane of the smelly rocks.

With your Christmas so bright. And I'll have a blue, blue, blue Christmas. Oh yeah. This is a great place to wind this thing down. Wish all of our listeners a merry Christmas, happy New Year's, happy holiday. Happy Hanukkah.

Happy Hanukkah. Just appreciate each and every one of y'all for listening because without y'all it would be this gang talking amongst themselves would be kind of weird. This is funny. You should see how our meetings go. You should.

Except there is one listener that I do not wish a happy Christmas to and that's Greg. And you know what you did and you know you don't deserve a good Christmas. But everyone else, merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Everybody else except that one Greg. Greg.

Merry Christmas everybody. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Bye.
