00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
There's nothing like go-to-old fashion fear of being beaten or Krampus-napped to hell.
2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Yeah, there's there really is nothing quite like it.
3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,720
So they combine the two icons both showing up at your place on December 5th,
4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:26,200
Krampusnacht to either give you presents or you know the other stuff.
5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:31,200
Krampus even started being referred to as Santa's Shadow.
6
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,200
Oh, yes.
7
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,200
Very spooky.
8
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,200
Ho ho ho, Caitlyn.
9
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200
Ho ho ho, Cassie.
10
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200
Ho ho ho, creepy people.
11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,200
I kinda like that.
12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,200
Hello.
13
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,200
If you're new to our creepy corner of the world, this is PNW, Haunts and Homicides,
14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:04,200
where we chat about true crime, paranormal, and all things creepy and ho ho ho-y,
15
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,200
in the Pacific Northwest.
16
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
That's amazing.
17
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:15,200
We also do a tarot reading at the end of every episode for deeper insight into our topic for the week.
18
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:19,200
So make sure you stick around if you're into that.
19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,200
Yes, and this week Cassie sounds sick, but she doesn't always.
20
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:25,200
True.
21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,200
Well, today is, if you hadn't already guessed, a holiday themed episode.
22
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,200
Woo, woo, from the window to the walls.
23
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,200
Skeet, skeet.
24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:43,200
I loved that video, Caitlyn, just showed me the funniest fucking video ever.
25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,200
Yeah, we're gonna have to figure out how to share that.
26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,200
We're just linking.
27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
Yeah, we'll show notes too.
28
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,200
I love it.
29
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,200
Just in case.
30
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:52,200
Yeah.
31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,200
If you don't follow us on the socials, what are you doing?
32
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Yeah.
33
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,200
We're hilarious.
34
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:57,200
I agree.
35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:04,200
I loved my stories about the dolls where I was like, it's one person's heaven and another person's hand.
36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:05,200
It's very true.
37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:16,200
I actually had a listener reach out and say they were house sitting somewhere and they were concerned about listening to that episode, you know.
38
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,200
I would be too.
39
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,200
All by themselves and I said, no, no, no, no, no, it's not that scary.
40
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,200
It wasn't that scary.
41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:35,200
It wasn't that scary, but I guess, okay, so for the people who weren't editing it, there was a lot of weird sounds.
42
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,200
There were some shenanigans.
43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:45,200
There were a lot of weird sounds and I know we were recording over the internet and they weren't using professional mics.
44
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,200
But there were some creepy shit in there.
45
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,200
I don't know what was happening, but mostly the editing took it out.
46
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,200
There was one that I couldn't take out.
47
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,200
It was like over her voice or under her voice.
48
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,200
It sounded like robotic.
49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,200
It was really creepy.
50
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,200
So I don't know if anyone caught that.
51
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,200
Okay.
52
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,200
So Cassie was the one, I think, most scared by that episode.
53
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,200
And I love that for her.
54
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Yeah.
55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
In the end, I ended up being like, oh my god, I...
56
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,200
Is this editing over with "I'm sick of hearing EVPs"?
57
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
Oh my god.
58
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,200
Well anyway, today is a less scary topic.
59
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,200
Is this the holiday?
60
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,200
You know, we got to keep it light around here.
61
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,200
So...
62
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,200
All right.
63
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,200
Well, you know, also keeping it creepy.
64
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,200
We're baubles deep into December.
65
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:40,200
Feeling so festive with your little joke and then that song, it's just...
66
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,200
It went perfectly together.
67
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:43,200
It really did.
68
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:44,200
It really did.
69
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:45,200
Wow.
70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:49,200
So as much as I love Halloween, we all know that's not a secret.
71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,200
No.
72
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:57,200
And I have some issues with the religious aspect of Christmas.
73
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,200
You know, that's fair.
74
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:05,200
So I've kind of switched over to kind of more saying I celebrate like yuletide or winter solstice and that kind of thing.
75
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:14,200
But, you know, technically my whole family still celebrates Christmas and it does hold a little special place in my heart.
76
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,200
I grew up with it.
77
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,200
So, yeah.
78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,200
It's kind of a magical time, magical season.
79
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Very magical.
80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,200
Especially when I can continue to watch Nightmare before Christmas.
81
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,200
Which I did last night.
82
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:28,200
Love it.
83
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:35,200
And Jack visiting Christmas Town is like my top favorite scenes in the movie.
84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:36,200
You know that.
85
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,200
You've seen Nightmare before Christmas, right?
86
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,200
I have.
87
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,200
I have.
88
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:41,200
It's been quite a few years.
89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:47,200
I've been thinking about it a lot this year that I should probably rewatch it.
90
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,200
You should.
91
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:49,200
Okay.
92
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,200
So he visits Christmas Town and he's like, what's this?
93
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,200
What's this?
94
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:57,200
He's, you know, he's never seen all the glittery snow and he's all excited and that's how he filled during Christmas.
95
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:02,200
Even though, you know, Halloween, I feel it more, I think.
96
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Definitely Christmas.
97
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Christmas is special.
98
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,200
It's warm.
99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Warm and fuzzy.
100
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Warm and fuzzy.
101
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,200
Did you know that the Pacific Northwest has its very own Christmas town?
102
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,200
Yes.
103
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Did you?
104
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,200
I did.
105
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,200
I didn't honestly before this.
106
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,200
I didn't.
107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,200
I really did.
108
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,200
It has nothing to do with Nightmare before Christmas.
109
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,200
It's just, you know, they're both called Christmas Town.
110
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:32,200
So adorable, but it's still extremely magical.
111
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,200
And I think a quote from this locations website is in order.
112
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,200
Of course.
113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Leavenworth, Washington is a charming Bavarian village nestled in the picturesque Cascade Mountains known for its unique architectural style and festive atmosphere.
114
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,200
The village transports visitors to a quaint European setting.
115
00:05:53,200 --> 00:06:00,200
The town exudes a lively ambiance throughout the year with seasonal decorations and events.
116
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:06,200
Visitors can explore the village's charming shops and dine on Authentic German cuisine.
117
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,200
Sample locally brewed beers.
118
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,200
Very important.
119
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,200
Excellent.
120
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:16,200
And immerse themselves in the vibrant festivities and cultural experiences.
121
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:22,200
It's an experience that will leave you saying, "Holy schnitzel!"
122
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Adorable.
123
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,200
That's on their website.
124
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,200
So freaking cute.
125
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:27,200
Holy schnitzel.
126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,200
So have you been to Leavenworth?
127
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,200
I have.
128
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,200
Yeah.
129
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,200
Is it beautiful?
130
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:33,200
It's gorgeous.
131
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:34,200
I've never been.
132
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200
I've been, I think it was in the fall time.
133
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:45,200
So it wasn't like snowing, but it was on the chillier side, certainly in the evenings.
134
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,200
And all of the buildings are so cute.
135
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:53,200
It's so quaint, it does look like a little old, tiny European town.
136
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,200
Oh my god, I have to go someday.
137
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,200
Was it all lit up when you went?
138
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:02,200
No, I don't think they had any of their, like, kind of seasonal stuff before Thanksgiving.
139
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Exactly.
140
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,200
Yeah.
141
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,200
2010, I was there.
142
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,200
Oh my god, that was like a decade ago.
143
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Yeah.
144
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,200
So they Christmas by the town and it stays lit up from Thanksgiving through February.
145
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,200
So y'all still have time to go, like plenty of time.
146
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,200
That's, yeah, it's quite the window.
147
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200
And they do all sorts of fun events, I'll link the website so you can go check it out.
148
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,200
My mommy actually just went with her friends.
149
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:31,200
Yeah, she said it was gorgeous.
150
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:33,200
She sent me a couple of pictures.
151
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,200
Oh good.
152
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,200
And she said it was so much fun.
153
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,200
And when she told me she was going, I'm going to be honest, I'd never heard of it.
154
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:46,200
I just, I don't know, there's some things that are very popular that I've never heard about.
155
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:47,200
Yeah.
156
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,200
And this is why I'm doing the podcast.
157
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,200
I can learn about them.
158
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:50,200
That's fair.
159
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200
Also, I just realized I went in June.
160
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:55,200
Oh.
161
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,200
I did not go in the fall.
162
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,200
Okay, was it cold though still?
163
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,200
It was chilly in the evening.
164
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,200
Yeah, for sure.
165
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,200
But.
166
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,200
So when she told me she was going, I looked it up and then I was actually really, really excited for her to go.
167
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:16,200
But not for pictures of snowy mountains and lights because when I think Germany and Christmas,
168
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:23,200
what comes to mind for me, I wanted her to be my personal Krampus paparazzi.
169
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,200
Ooh.
170
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:35,200
So the first thing I saw when I went on to the website was this little blurb on old crampy saying that the weekend closest to Krampusnacht knocked.
171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,200
Krampusnacht.
172
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,200
Krampusnacht.
173
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,200
December 5th.
174
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,200
You might see Krampus costumes around town.
175
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,200
It goes on to state that they're not having an official Krampusnacht. celebration.
176
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:51,200
Okay.
177
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:57,200
So quote, please plan accordingly if this is a concern.
178
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,200
And I was like, huh.
179
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,200
That's interesting.
180
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:05,200
I wonder why people would be concerned about the big, lovable old Krampy-pus.
181
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,200
You know?
182
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:11,200
It certainly couldn't be his delightfully demonic appearance.
183
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,200
Oh, no.
184
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,200
Big and hairy with goat-like horns.
185
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,200
Yeah.
186
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,200
I mean, no notes.
187
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:25,200
And a long tongue protruding out to glide across to sharp fangs.
188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:31,200
Okay. What about this tongue thing now that's weird.
189
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,200
And of course, since he's named after the word krampen, which means claw.
190
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,200
Oh.
191
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,200
He has to have the perfect set of terrifying clawses.
192
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:42,200
Ooh.
193
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,200
Phalanges.
194
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:51,200
So Krampus comes from Bavaria, Germany and Austria's Alpine region, which I assume is around the Alps.
195
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,200
Yeah.
196
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,200
That's exactly what it means.
197
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,200
It sounds like.
198
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,200
Yeah.
199
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
I was like, I feel like that's pretty straightforward, but no, it is.
200
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,200
I mean, I literally just picture.
201
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:09,200
I don't know if this is actually accurate, but I just picture the sound of music.
202
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:14,200
She's running through the hills because the hills are alive with music.
203
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,200
Pretty sure that was based in Austria.
204
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,200
And people skiing.
205
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,200
Yeah.
206
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,200
Definitely skiing.
207
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,200
Yeah.
208
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:32,200
And I've found since BC (before Christmas) and kicked off Yule or winter solstice as a symbol of evil.
209
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,200
Working naughty children with sticks.
210
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:36,200
Yeah.
211
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:43,200
Eating them or just playing throwing them in a sack and dragging them to the underworld or hell, whichever you prefer.
212
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:44,200
Great.
213
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,200
I would prefer neither.
214
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,200
Sounds like a fun time.
215
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,200
Okay.
216
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,200
I'm having second thoughts about that pillow in light of that.
217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,200
Oh.
218
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,200
Be naughty, save Santa the trip.
219
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:04,200
That's actually pretty interesting that you put that pillow out, totally relates.
220
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:08,800
I had no idea.
221
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,480
But they're kind of, they kind of go on the trip together.
222
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:12,480
We'll talk about it.
223
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,480
Yeah.
224
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:14,480
We'll talk about it.
225
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,840
Oh my God.
226
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:23,000
So the whole dragging kids to hell thing is kind of interesting because Krampus is the son
227
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,400
of Hel.
228
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:31,640
Hey, H E L, is from Norse mythology, which I was kind of confused about how that was connected
229
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:33,840
to Germany.
230
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,840
So obviously I looked it up basically because of traveling.
231
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,840
Yeah.
232
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:44,840
The Illinois Library website says, quote, Germanic mythology is synonymous with Norse mythology.
233
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:53,680
Anywho, Hel is the queen of the Norse realm of the dead known as Hellheim or just Hell?
234
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:54,680
Oh.
235
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:55,680
Sounds kind of familiar.
236
00:11:55,680 --> 00:11:59,360
Yeah, a little bit.
237
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,680
And she is the daughter of Loki.
238
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:03,680
Okay.
239
00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:07,000
We all know him, Trixi Little Trixter.
240
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Yeah.
241
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,760
Krampus has quite the pedigree.
242
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:16,760
Yeah.
243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:23,480
And literally every single thing in Judeo-Christian religions is just taken from pagan and other indigenous
244
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,840
cultural and religious beliefs apparently.
245
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,840
Yeah.
246
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:27,840
Yeah.
247
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:28,840
As if we weren't already aware.
248
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:29,840
Yeah.
249
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:30,840
But you know, you just got to drill it in.
250
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:31,840
Yeah.
251
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,080
Oh my God.
252
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:40,080
Okay.
253
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,080
So insert Catholicism and Christianity into the mix.
254
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,080
And now there is a Saint Nicholas, everyone's obsessed with.
255
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,080
I guess being the patron saint of children comes with its benefits like your very own day.
256
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,080
Okay.
257
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:52,080
Nikolaustag.
258
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:53,080
Oh my goodness.
259
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:54,080
Not how you say it.
260
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,080
Nikolaustag.
261
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,080
Nikolaustag.
262
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Nikolaustagt.
263
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,080
Nikolaustag.
264
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,080
Do you need me to look it up?
265
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:00,080
Nikolaustagt.
266
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:07,160
It's just like the word, the letters are all weird because Nicholas is N-I-K-O-L-A-U-S and
267
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,160
then T-A-G.
268
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,160
Nikolaustag.
269
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,560
Nikolaustag.
270
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:16,080
Which happens to be December 6th, the day after Krampusnacht.
271
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,080
Okay.
272
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,520
So now all of a sudden there's a symbol of goodness to go with all the evil of Krampus.
273
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,560
Super long story short.
274
00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:28,400
Catholics try to ban Krampus for being too devil-y.
275
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:29,400
Okay.
276
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,400
Like honestly who was first the devil or the Krampus?
277
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:33,400
Right.
278
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,240
That's fair.
279
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:40,840
But eventually people decided that they liked the whole good versus evil thing and they
280
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,000
wanted to keep the legend alive.
281
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:49,240
Well, what they really wanted was for to me to take out the trash and, uh, yeah.
282
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:50,640
You know what I mean?
283
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,960
That's where I'm going with that.
284
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,640
And hey, it keeps kids in line better than just getting a lump of coal, right?
285
00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:05,640
There's nothing like go-to-old fashion fear of being beaten, eaten or Krampus-napped to hell.
286
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:06,640
Yeah.
287
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,640
Yeah.
288
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,200
There's, there really is nothing quite like it.
289
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:17,760
So they combine the two icons, both showing up at your place on December 5th, Krampusnacht
290
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:23,880
to either give you presents or, you know, the other stuff.
291
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,640
Krampus even started being referred to as Santa's shadow.
292
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:28,640
Oh, yeah.
293
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Spooky.
294
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,640
Very spooky.
295
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:32,640
Okay.
296
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,640
So you remember Leavenworth in the Krampus Sighting Warning?
297
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Yeah.
298
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:41,520
There's actually a reason for that.
299
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:49,440
In 2020, a volunteer-based nonprofit quote, “Troupe of Thespians bringing the traditional
300
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:55,640
Austrian Krampus folklore to America, known as Krampus Seattle."
301
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:56,640
Ooh.
302
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:04,000
They took to the snowy streets of Leavenworth for a Krampuslauf, which is basically a Krampus
303
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,640
cosplay parade.
304
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,840
Hello.
305
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:13,240
They actually have very beautifully-made masks and costumes and stuff.
306
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,440
It's really cool.
307
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,080
That sounds amazing.
308
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:21,240
I, goals is to see a Krampuslauf in person.
309
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,880
Wow, wow, wow.
310
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:28,480
I kind of joke that I was going to come show up as Krampus today because I looked so terrible.
311
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120
It's on theme.
312
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:36,080
The people seemed to love it and the town's event organizers officially invited them back
313
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:40,720
the next year and promoted the Kramp out of it.
314
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,760
I love that.
315
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:49,680
From the Krampus enthusiast perspective, the event went great, but three was not the
316
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:55,280
charm in this case and they were not invited back for 2022.
317
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,280
Oh, no, why?
318
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,280
I'll tell you.
319
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,080
Oh, no.
320
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:09,060
A crosscut.com article says, "Community leaders were pressured by a small but vocal group who
321
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:16,720
objected to the Krampus Seattle group last year, arguing that their presence didn't mesh
322
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:21,040
with the events and the friendly reputation."
323
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,040
What?
324
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Okay, but also culturally that's definitely in the correct vibe, right?
325
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,920
And it's like it's one day.
326
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:33,920
Come on.
327
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,120
God.
328
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:42,520
To which I say, a new breed of Karen was born and that is the Krampus Karen, Krampus Karen,
329
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,760
the Krampus Karen's Unite.
330
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:45,760
Yeah.
331
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:52,840
So, ultimately, people are allowed to come dressed up, but not in any official events organized
332
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,200
by 11 worth leaders.
333
00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:01,600
So that is why there is a warning to plan accordingly if you don't want to see the Krampus,
334
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,000
don't fucking come on Krampusnacht.
335
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Seriously.
336
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
But it's sad.
337
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,360
They can't have their big old fun Krampuslauf.
338
00:17:10,360 --> 00:17:11,360
What was it?
339
00:17:11,360 --> 00:17:12,360
Krampuslauf party?
340
00:17:12,360 --> 00:17:13,360
Yeah.
341
00:17:13,360 --> 00:17:14,360
Yeah.
342
00:17:14,360 --> 00:17:17,840
But, Seattle Krampus is not wallowing.
343
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:23,720
They have plenty of other events to attend, including Santa Con, which I didn't really know
344
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,160
was a thing, but that sounds fun.
345
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,160
Yeah.
346
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:34,160
Enjoying other Krampus groups for the huge Krampusnacht celebration in downtown Bremerton,
347
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:39,280
Washington, where the event was received with open arms.
348
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:40,840
Open...claws?
349
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:41,840
Open claws.
350
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:42,840
Yeah.
351
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:48,760
They even have a list of fun, themey things to attend in the town, like a naughty versus
352
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,640
nice wrestling match between Santa and Krampus.
353
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:53,640
Stop it.
354
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,120
That happened last night, actually.
355
00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:59,320
I am obsessed.
356
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,840
Next year we have to go.
357
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:01,840
We're going.
358
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:03,840
That sounds really fun.
359
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,440
I'm not a huge, like, wrestling fighting.
360
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:10,120
I don't really like that kind of stuff, but if it's Santa versus Krampus, I probably
361
00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:11,120
will watch it.
362
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:12,120
I mean, come on.
363
00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:14,720
Oh my God, I just had a flashback.
364
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,720
Do you remember that, like, clay-mation wrestling show?
365
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:19,720
Oh my God.
366
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,240
It was like on MTV.
367
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,240
I hold on.
368
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,120
I will look it up.
369
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:28,120
Celebrity Death Match.
370
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:29,120
Yes.
371
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,120
Oh my God.
372
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:31,120
That show is so fun.
373
00:18:31,120 --> 00:18:32,960
That's what this reminds me of.
374
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:33,960
Yeah.
375
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:38,960
It's definitely...it's giving celebrity Death Match.
376
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,960
Definitely.
377
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,960
I wonder if they had a Krampus Santa episode of that.
378
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:43,960
Ooh.
379
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,960
They should have.
380
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:46,960
We're going to investigate that.
381
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:47,960
Oh.
382
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:53,560
They did have a Jerry Seinfeld versus Tim Allen.
383
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:54,560
Oh.
384
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,360
And Tim Allen played Santa Claus.
385
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:58,360
That's true.
386
00:18:58,360 --> 00:18:59,360
That's true.
387
00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:01,360
Jerry Seinfeld could be Krampus.
388
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,560
I love that for him.
389
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,840
So now I have a quote from Erin Hale in this.
390
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,040
This is from the KrampusBremerton.com.
391
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Krampus now challenges the Christmas Capitalistic Pressure to somehow match Santa's mythological
392
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,720
generosity.
393
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:26,840
What if we simply celebrated the good gratitude and greatness in each other instead?
394
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:31,840
What if Krampus is here to be celebrated as a reminder that we have the choice to be
395
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,080
kind, patient, and compassionate?
396
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,080
Oh.
397
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:36,080
I like that.
398
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:37,080
I know.
399
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:43,080
I think that perfectly sums up kind of what Krampus is about because he is scary, but it is
400
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:48,840
cool to kind of have that the opposite ends, like showing you what really bad is and showing
401
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,320
you what really good is.
402
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:51,320
Right.
403
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:55,440
This is a reminder.
404
00:19:55,440 --> 00:20:01,880
But now some people say Krampus is getting just as popular and commercialized as Santa.
405
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:09,680
With places like the Peculiarium hosting mocktails with Krampus, Saturday, December 23rd,
406
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,720
stop it.
407
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:17,680
Or Raven's Manor having a themed menu featuring the Krampus Martini.
408
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:18,680
Ooh.
409
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,880
Designed for the icy Germanic demon himself.
410
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,720
Oh, yes.
411
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,720
Krampus cookies.
412
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:30,480
6.66 ounces of chocolate chip wither without walnut.
413
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,000
Served with a cold glass of milk or almond milk.
414
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:40,480
And if you need a little more of a hearty meal, order up the child stew in a bread bowl.
415
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,480
Oh.
416
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Yeah.
417
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,480
Literally have.
418
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,720
There's something called child stew and I fucking died.
419
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:56,520
It's just like, how do you order that?
420
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,520
You know?
421
00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,680
I think I would just say, I'd like the stew, please.
422
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,080
Childless stew.
423
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,520
Also fun fact about me.
424
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,760
I love bread bowls.
425
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:08,760
I do too.
426
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:09,760
So fucking.
427
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:10,760
So incredible.
428
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:13,000
Like sourdough bread bowl.
429
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,240
Nothing better.
430
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,160
I will eat the entire bread bowl.
431
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:17,160
Yeah.
432
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,160
Don't test me.
433
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,160
Yeah.
434
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:20,160
I would never.
435
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,400
They also have a Grinch drink, which I had to bring up because I'm wearing my Grinch
436
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,400
sweater today.
437
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:25,400
Hello.
438
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,200
And it's green.
439
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:28,200
Got rain.
440
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,560
I want to go get it.
441
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,400
So this brings me to our last little bit here.
442
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,640
We visited the Kampus.
443
00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,440
We'll set up through the veil.
444
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:42,440
Oh my gosh.
445
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:43,440
Yeah.
446
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:44,840
That feels like a lifetime ago.
447
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,840
I know.
448
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,440
We took a bunch of photos.
449
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:48,840
Chris took our photos.
450
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:49,840
Thank you, Chris.
451
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:51,440
Thank you, Chris.
452
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:57,160
And we had little Christmas cards made from them that we're sending to our Patreon.
453
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,160
Hi.
454
00:21:58,160 --> 00:21:59,160
Hi.
455
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:00,160
Hi.
456
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,160
Hi.
457
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,160
Happy Patreon holidays.
458
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,160
Yeah.
459
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:04,160
You get a holiday card.
460
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,160
We're calling it a holiday card because everyone celebrates Christmas.
461
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:08,160
Yeah.
462
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:09,160
Yeah.
463
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:10,160
So that'll be fun.
464
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,160
They're really cute.
465
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,160
Yeah.
466
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,160
They turned out super cute.
467
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,160
Yeah.
468
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:21,480
So if you're in town, go visit over there, visit Krampus, check out all of the amazing stuff
469
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:22,720
that they have in the store.
470
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,720
Like I can't even.
471
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:24,720
Yeah.
472
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,720
Actually, this is one of my purchases from...
473
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,720
Oh yeah, it is.
474
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,720
Yeah.
475
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,440
And we also have a couple other purchases we made there.
476
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,880
We got little mystery tarot cards.
477
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:44,800
And the one I ended up opening it in the store because you can either leave it on their
478
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:49,400
altar and like write, write a wish on it or something that you want and leave it on
479
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:50,400
their altar.
480
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,960
So that was my plan.
481
00:22:51,960 --> 00:23:01,400
And then I opened it and I got the double card, which eerily kind of looks like Krampus.
482
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,360
It has a very long protruding tongue and horns.
483
00:23:05,360 --> 00:23:06,360
I cannot.
484
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:07,360
I cannot.
485
00:23:07,360 --> 00:23:10,840
So I had to take it with me, of course.
486
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:15,880
And it has like the back of the card kind of looks very Christmasy, kind of like literally
487
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,120
just notice that today.
488
00:23:18,120 --> 00:23:22,880
So it was totally perfect. We brought it to put on our altar today to show off because
489
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,720
it was just too...the Krampus connection was too much.
490
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,040
It's just too good.
491
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:31,920
And then Caitlyn has her mystery tarot.
492
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:33,920
I think she wants to open it today too.
493
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:34,920
Yeah.
494
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:40,000
So we'll do that and we'll pull a card from my nightmare before Christmas deck for the
495
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,120
tarot reading and that will be that.
496
00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:44,680
Ho ho ho.
497
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:52,640
As indie podcasters, we love to show our support of other awesome shows.
498
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,520
So stay tuned for the promo we've got to share with you this week.
499
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:57,920
Let's show them some love.
500
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,920
You can find their info in our show notes.
501
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:09,720
Hey, I'm Gina and I'm Amber.
502
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:14,280
And we're here to bring you the Weird True Crime Podcast where we cover true crime cases
503
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,920
that will leave you asking yourself, did that really happen?
504
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,920
We'll dive into questionable cases throughout history that are solved, unsolved, or just
505
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,080
plain unbelievable.
506
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:29,480
We'll also talk about the court gear side of true crime and episodes we like to call
507
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,480
What the f*ck Wednesday.
508
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:40,520
So be sure to subscribe and listen on your favorite podcast service.
509
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,840
You guys were back!
510
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:45,520
And don't worry, we did get more wine.
511
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,520
Well, of course.
512
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:53,640
Okay, before tarot, we're doing things.
513
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:54,640
We're doing things.
514
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:55,640
Okay.
515
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,440
What are we opening, Caitlyn?
516
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:02,120
We have so many fun things to open.
517
00:25:02,120 --> 00:25:10,240
We have not checked our PO box for a little while.
518
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:16,280
So we have an atorabal Halloween postcard that we received.
519
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,040
But it's so cute.
520
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,360
I know.
521
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,120
I'm going to read it.
522
00:25:21,120 --> 00:25:22,520
Please do.
523
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,600
It's spooky season.
524
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:28,360
Thank you both so much for your excellent podcast.
525
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:33,440
Your banter, wit, and excellent storytelling is a highlight of my week.
526
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,360
Stay spooky.
527
00:25:35,360 --> 00:25:36,360
From Danny.
528
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:38,920
Oh, thank you, Danny.
529
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:39,920
You wanna...
530
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,600
I love this because I was just talking about how I love Christmas.
531
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,920
But I love Halloween.
532
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,920
And there's something Halloweeny.
533
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,640
Oh, I love Halloweeny.
534
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,120
Okay.
535
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:56,760
And then I already opened this one because I knew who it was going to be from.
536
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,360
Because I recognize the handwriting.
537
00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,000
So this came from True Crime, Cat Lawyer.
538
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:04,400
Oh, Hi Elyse.
539
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,400
Oh, Winston.
540
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,400
Oh, Winston.
541
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,400
We love her.
542
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:09,400
Yeah.
543
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,400
So flipping cute.
544
00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,880
And she sent us a little sticker peac.
545
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:16,880
Of course she did.
546
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,480
She's always so good with the stickers.
547
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,480
I know.
548
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,200
Look at this little Christmas Winston.
549
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:22,200
It's adorable.
550
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,720
Oh, I love it.
551
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,880
I really want Winston on the pod.
552
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:27,880
I know.
553
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:28,880
I know.
554
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,680
So many things.
555
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:31,680
And we have this.
556
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,840
What's that?
557
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,920
This came from Caitlin.
558
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,720
Caitlyn, who?
559
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:39,720
Not me.
560
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:40,720
Hi, Caitlin.
561
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,720
Oh, this is so cute.
562
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:45,720
Happy holiday.
563
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,920
Got that Lumberjack plaid on there.
564
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:51,920
Right?
565
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,560
It's not Lumberjack plaid, but all plaid is Lumberjack to me.
566
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:56,560
Okay.
567
00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:58,760
I'm going to read this to you.
568
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:00,760
Caitlyn and Cassie.
569
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,600
What's up?
570
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,600
Thank you for everything you have done to help me this year.
571
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:10,600
I look forward to helping you both in the future to gain more viewers.
572
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:18,120
Also, I look forward to doing something together in person, which we are working on.
573
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:19,120
Yeah.
574
00:27:19,120 --> 00:27:20,120
I'm so excited.
575
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:22,640
I love meeting everybody.
576
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:23,640
I know.
577
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:24,640
Literally.
578
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:25,640
I love it.
579
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:26,640
I love it.
580
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:27,640
I love people.
581
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,440
I know I would say people, but I love my people.
582
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:31,440
Yeah.
583
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,080
No, that's the difference.
584
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,000
Anyways, hope you enjoy your gifts.
585
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,360
Happy holidays, Caitlin.
586
00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:40,360
Yes.
587
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:43,560
Oh my gosh.
588
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:44,880
My eyes are tearing up.
589
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:46,680
I'm not crying.
590
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,920
She's not crying, though.
591
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Oh no.
592
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,920
Oh no.
593
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:54,920
Oh my god.
594
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:55,920
What?
595
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:56,920
Okay.
596
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:58,920
There's candy cans.
597
00:27:58,920 --> 00:27:59,920
Yes.
598
00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:06,080
And there's two little wrapped things in here.
599
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:07,080
Okay.
600
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,520
One has tarot cards on it and one has a Ouija board.
601
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,920
So I feel like the tarot cards might be for you.
602
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,920
That feels on brand.
603
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,080
Oh my god.
604
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,120
Is this a sucker?
605
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:24,400
Yes.
606
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:26,800
This is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen.
607
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,600
We'll take closer pictures.
608
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,600
Oh my god.
609
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Where did you get this?
610
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,120
Oh my god.
611
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:35,240
I am obsessed.
612
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,440
Mine's blackberry pear.
613
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:38,440
Ooh.
614
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,440
Ooh.
615
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:40,440
Oh yeah.
616
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:41,440
I did see the Skittles right on top.
617
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,440
So those are already gone.
618
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:44,960
Oh my gosh.
619
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,000
This is so cute.
620
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:48,400
Stop it.
621
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:50,800
A tarot card.
622
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:52,920
Scented bath bomb.
623
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:53,920
Oh my god.
624
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Yours is so cute.
625
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:55,920
Look at this.
626
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:56,920
Ooh.
627
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:05,560
It's so excited for this.
628
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,560
What is your scent?
629
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,680
Um, a biscuit.
630
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:10,920
I love a biscuit.
631
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:11,920
What's yours?
632
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:12,920
Rose.
633
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:13,920
Do we need a trade?
634
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,840
What do you want?
635
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,760
I love Rose.
636
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,960
Thank you, Kate.
637
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,960
I was.
638
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:21,960
We traded.
639
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:23,960
Oh my gosh.
640
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:28,240
I'm taking a bath like tonight.
641
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:31,880
I don't have a tub, but I will find one.
642
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:32,880
I have a tub.
643
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:33,880
I actually do.
644
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:34,880
Okay.
645
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:35,880
I'm house sitting.
646
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:36,880
So I do have access to a tub.
647
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:37,880
Actually, this is perfect.
648
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:38,880
This is so perfect.
649
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,880
I'm so excited.
650
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,880
I all have a tub, Kate.
651
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:41,880
I'm so excited.
652
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:42,880
I'm going to take a video.
653
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:43,880
So excited.
654
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:44,880
Yeah.
655
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:45,880
I was just going to say.
656
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:46,880
Oh my gosh.
657
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:47,880
Okay.
658
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:48,880
What else is in here?
659
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:49,880
Oh my gosh.
660
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:56,880
Oh my gosh.
661
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880
Oh my gosh.
662
00:29:58,880 --> 00:29:59,880
Oh my gosh.
663
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:00,880
Oh.
664
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:01,880
Self-care thing.
665
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:02,880
Oh.
666
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:03,880
Oh my gosh.
667
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:04,880
Oh my gosh.
668
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,880
Oh my gosh.
669
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:06,880
Oh my gosh.
670
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:07,880
Oh my gosh.
671
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,880
Oh.
672
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:09,880
Self-care thing.
673
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:10,880
Oh.
674
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:11,880
Oh my gosh.
675
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:12,880
Oh my gosh.
676
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:13,880
Oh my gosh.
677
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,880
Oh my gosh.
678
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:15,880
Oh my gosh.
679
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:16,880
Oh my gosh.
680
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:17,880
Oh.
681
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:18,880
Self-care thing.
682
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:28,000
and a boob mask! I love this! It has bows for your tea toss. This is amazing. I'm gonna smear
683
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:33,360
this all over my boobs and butt and it's gonna be great. We're not gonna take pictures of that.
684
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:44,320
Oh my god! This is amazing! I'm so excited. Thank you so much, Caitlin. You're literally the fricken
685
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:54,880
sweetest. That was excitement. Should we do our little tarot? Okay. Are we gonna do my envelope
686
00:30:54,880 --> 00:31:02,000
tarot? Do your mystery first. You're just gonna break open a candy cane right now. I know.
687
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:16,000
Ooh! What is it? That's the backside of the car. Hey girl! Cute skulls? Five of pentacles.
688
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:27,040
Dropping that money. Oh no! Is it not good? Yeah, the five of pentacles is that's throwing away
689
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:34,800
money. That's misleading. Oh! Look at the... Can you see that? Oh, that's right. I do remember that one.
690
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:40,080
Wasn't that a Christmas episode too? That we got that. It was the train wreck one. I don't know if
691
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,760
that was Christmas, maybe it was the train wreck snowy one. Yeah. That is okay. So it's a snowy
692
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:52,080
car. That's interesting. Maybe it just relates to this episode, you know? Oh my god, it does.
693
00:31:52,080 --> 00:32:00,480
Okay. I found it already. Often this car depicts a couple or a family in an attitude of humility,
694
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:08,720
poverty or hardship. Their desperation and suffering are evident. Sometimes a stained glass
695
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:17,680
church window appears above them, which indicates emphasizing spiritual values over material ones.
696
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:25,440
Oh, okay. Wow. It's not just a season about stuff. Yeah. That was a big part of this episode,
697
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:35,520
because Krampus represents the commercialization of Christmas. I cannot believe that. You got a
698
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:42,400
Krampus and I got a card that was like, "Hey, maybe don't make everything about stuff." Wow,
699
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:56,320
that's really cool. I love that. There you go. Okay. Oh, I got the lovers. Stop it. We did. That's so fun.
700
00:32:56,320 --> 00:33:03,120
It was Christmasy, but yeah, it was technically in reverse when I looked at it, but I just felt like
701
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:08,640
it was in, I flipped it and that's how it was. So it's in upright for me. Okay. In my brain.
702
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:18,000
Lovers, Missilto. I know I feel so bad. I wanted to get some Missilto and I just
703
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:24,720
I thought about it once and it went out of my brain and I forgot my Missilto headband, but I
704
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:30,480
wore that Missilto headband to kiss Krampus in the pictures. It did. That's so cute.
705
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:45,120
All I want for Christmas is Krampus or Krampus. Yeah. Okay. So, oh, this is interesting. Cassie, our key
706
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:55,760
words are partnership union of opposites. Oh, partnership like Santa and Krampus union of opposites.
707
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:05,760
Look at us. I know. We're so witchy. Choices, harmony, cooperation, choices, choice between good
708
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:12,000
and evil. Yeah. Cooperation. Don't be naughty and get beaten by Krampus with sticks. Yeah.
709
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:25,360
Yeah. The lovers card usually shows a man and woman, but they're the similarities and in some
710
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:33,200
decks, they're naked in others, they're clothes. Some decks show the couple touching, even engaged in
711
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:41,920
a passionate embrace, whereas others place them on opposite sides of the card, perhaps with a
712
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:50,320
winged being overlooking them. Alla, garden of Eden. There's that. The winged beings are back.
713
00:34:53,600 --> 00:35:00,640
You'll even find decks that present three people on the card as if a third party who might be a
714
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:09,120
young person or an older parental figure is influencing their relationship like a Krampus card.
715
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:18,720
Oh, or like a child influencing, you know, which is going to be either way. Although many people
716
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:25,680
interpret this card as representing romantic love, it's really about the union of opposites,
717
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:35,520
your own dual nature. Wow. This is so cool. I love this. That doesn't rule out romance in your future
718
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:43,840
if the lovers shows up in a reading. It just means union has many meanings other than male female
719
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:52,240
coupling. Yeah, it does. And trusting. Okay, so let's do our upright interpretation. I also just
720
00:35:52,240 --> 00:36:02,240
got a flash of Krampus and Santa wrestling. I love that. This is a card of cooperation, of working
721
00:36:02,240 --> 00:36:11,840
together with others to accomplish a joint purpose. A joint purpose. You're not even the stoner.
722
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,880
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. We're allegedly. We've got some ideas.
723
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:26,240
When it appears upright, it signifies an attraction and partnership of some kind, not only the
724
00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:35,280
romantic variety. It can also suggest you're uniting disparate parts of yourself. The lovers
725
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:42,320
represents a period of harmony in personal or professional matters. Sometimes it indicates
726
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,760
you need to make a choice between two things you value, but you'll make the right decision.
727
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:55,440
Or you'll get dragged to hell. I was like, I'm just going to wait for it. Or put into stew.
728
00:36:55,440 --> 00:37:04,960
In a reading about money, you can profit from combining your resources with someone else's.
729
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:17,040
That's amazing. Sometimes the lovers symbolizes benefiting from a partner's money or marrying into
730
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:23,840
wealth. I got this card recently for someone else that I was doing a reading for. And I was like,
731
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:31,680
oh, yeah, you did. If you're seeking a financial backer, this card gives you a thumbs up.
732
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:40,240
If the reading is about your job, this card represents a time of cooperation, contentment, and harmony.
733
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:46,880
Joint projects are favored now. Two forces have united toward a common goal.
734
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:52,800
The lovers can also signify meeting a partner through work or working through
735
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:56,560
working with a romantic partner in business.
736
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:10,640
Krampus Santa. Yeah. This is Claus. Watch out. This is Claus. This is Claus. What if Mrs. Claus is crampus?
737
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:20,160
I don't know. Every picture I've seen of her is like a cute little old grandma in disguise. What if she
738
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:29,280
comes out as crampus? I love this conspiracy theory that I just created. She cooked that up right
739
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:36,000
click. That was that's something. Mrs. Claus doesn't even have a first name. You know what I mean? We just
740
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:42,640
call her Mrs. Claus. We need to look into that. Does she have a first name? Like, is there any mythology
741
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:49,200
there where she is? There's got to be, right? Yeah. I mean in the claymation one where he meets her,
742
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:55,680
she has a name, but I don't remember what it is. Okay. Well, anyway, put a pin in that
743
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:04,160
in a reading about love, this card boats well for a romantic relationship. It shows mutual caring
744
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:11,760
and attraction, a rewarding partnership that brings out the best in both people. Sometimes it means
745
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:22,000
a decision in connection with a love relationship. Yeah. This whole thing is just like, I good versus
746
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:28,000
evil, Krampus, Santa. Like, yeah, their whole relationship. That's so cool. I just realized there's
747
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:36,160
a card on the ground. What? There's a card on the ground. Holy shh. Holy schnitzel. Holy schnitzel.
748
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:42,960
It's the five of presents. So yeah, I'm very curious. I guess it just fell down when I was doing
749
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:49,600
something or other. Five of pinnacles in my... Oh yeah. Oh, is presents pinnacles? What do we decide?
750
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:59,200
I don't remember. That would be weird. I would not be surprised though. Yeah, candles would be ones.
751
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:06,800
Presence would be pinnacles, needle swords, push and scuops. Wow! This is just on the floor. Five
752
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:14,000
five presents. We don't even need to read it because we read it already. Wow. But I don't know when it
753
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:21,200
looks like presents. That is so... Yeah, I cannot believe that. That is really cool. I wonder if you could
754
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:27,920
see it in the video when it fell out. Oh, I don't know. I probably think they're gonna fall off the bottom
755
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:37,680
or something. Yeah, that's so cool. What are the odds that we buy two little tarot readings
756
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:45,840
out through the veil? And one of them looks like crampus. One of them is five of... I pentacles.
757
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:54,880
And then this other five pinnacles drops out. Weird. Okay. People are gonna literally...
758
00:40:54,880 --> 00:41:01,440
They're gonna be thinking we're making this up. I just... They watched it. I mean, we didn't...
759
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:06,720
I'm always afraid that people are gonna be like, "Woooo!" Well, and if you want to see, I pulled this
760
00:41:06,720 --> 00:41:13,200
card out in a video and I put it with the little reel and TikTok I made for the through the veil
761
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:18,320
episode. Yeah, that's right. And I pulled it out. So that was me literally opening it right there.
762
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:23,600
I feel like are we gonna have conspiracy theories about our terrestrial beings? I hope so. Can we
763
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:30,240
start a Reddit thread on the conspiracy theory for us? Maybe. I really don't want that because
764
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:37,360
they're so good. Like they're really right on. I... That's why I want it to be like so above board
765
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:46,480
that people know they're real. Yeah. They do. Oh, this is so cool. I need a candy cane and a nap.
766
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:55,600
Drink. We have to open gifts still. Oh, oh my god. Yeah. So let's end it for normal people. And then
767
00:41:55,600 --> 00:42:02,800
we're gonna continue opening gifts for our Patreon. Okay. Have a creep miss crampus not.
768
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:10,480
With a bunch of ass. There was no ass in there. All the all the Krampus ass. All the ass.
769
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:18,800
Kramp ass. Kramp ass. Kramp ass. How did I put no Kramp ass jokes in my... in my episode? I don't know.
770
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:26,000
I'm sick. That's what happens. I'm surprised this reading turned out so good. How sick I am too.
771
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:33,840
I know. Well, I shuffle the shit out of those cards. Well, you were... you held this together. Mine
772
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:41,120
was from the past. So past healthy Cassie. Pulled the right card. Well, and this one. Oh, I mean,
773
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:47,600
that was weeks ago. Yeah. Did I pick that for you or you picked it? No, I... I think you... Yeah, you...
774
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:54,320
specifically brought me. Yeah. The bowl of the cards and we're like, pick yours. Yeah. Yeah.
775
00:42:54,320 --> 00:43:00,320
Okay, well, let's open these presents. Who is first?
776
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:10,320
[Music]
777
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:35,120
[Music]
778
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:44,480
Germanic mythology is synonymous with North. North Musa. Musa, Judy. I mean, it's a shoe face. Oh my
779
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:54,400
God. North mythology. It's that it's the... Yeah. You know, North mythology. North. You said
780
00:43:54,400 --> 00:44:04,000
well. I know. I was like, "Damn it." I know. Okay. Hel is the queen of the North. My God.
