Hey, Michael. How's it going, bud? - Hey, everybody. I'm Michael. Thanks for being here. All right. Michael Ian Black has entered the fray. Today, you guys are gonna be the elves staying in characters obviously important around the kids. So that's why we have these elf costumes. These are people hired to work as caterers tonight. But they got to go through the training first, right? This is going to be a great group.
I can tell already. So if everybody could just get on their feet. Thanks so much. It helps to have a character, to have your backstory just because these kids, they want to know what your elf name is. They want to know where you're from. Can we just skip this shit and jump straight to handing out cocktail wieners? I mean, I wouldn't mind skipping the improv shit and going straight to learning how to serve the cocktail wieners or whatever the hell. I'm a, I'm Peppermint Snaps. I'm the one who makes the ornaments. Great. Thank you, Peppermint Snaps.
He's [bleep] with Sal. Yeah. Really subtle too. All right, so why don't we get two people up just to roleplay the kind of things you can expect with the kids? Sprinkle, you're asking Snowflake about life on the North Pole. Sal, interject at the top and say, "Okay. And we see they're both naked." Hey, how are things at the North Pole? We noticed both elves are naked. Wait, what? Like a technique to paint the scene.
We see both elves are Jewish. We notice both elves are Jewish. Jewish? Is that what you said? Yes. It's a. We're not going to bring religion into it. Sal, isn't Michael Ian Black Jewish? Aren't you Jewish, though? Yeah. Accuse him of cultural appropriation. I'm just saying cultural appropriation. A little bit. Probably. I'm just trying to help kids. So. Yeah. Mazel, mazel.
She's crying. Literally crying tears. Should we role play? Wanna role play a lil bit more? Okay. Do you want to give us a suggestion? September 12th. I'm a New Yorker. My example was September 12th, you know? September 12th? Look at their faces. Peppermint Snaps. Why don't you come up and you can do this September 12th thing. Come on up. Is it the year 2001? No. Not necessarily. Okay.
Start the scene by saying, "How about yesterday, huh?" Yeah. And scene. Hi. Hey. How are things going? Oh. All right, but how about yesterday? The world isn't always a good place, but we keep the lists of naughty and nice. I feel like you are setting this in 2001. Why don't we just start the scene one more time? Let's refresh. - Okay. And nothing to do with September 11th. Yeah, of course, of course.
[Murr] If we don't get into the holiday spirit. The terrorists have won. - Again. No, not from September 11th. - Stop, stop, stop. No, I understand. I was thinking of a movie that I just watched, and that was a mistake. It was a mistake. Sal. "I was talking about Pearl Harbor at that time." I was talking about. Did you ever see Pearl Harbor? Again, like I. Let's take a seat. And that was great. That's great, Mike. Great.
Does anybody have any questions before we. Yeah. Sal, you've got a question. Raise your hand. I don't want to be that guy. Well, you kind of are. Who's candy cane do I have to suck to get the Santa job next year? Are you Santa every year? Yes. - I'm just. Your job seems the most fun. So I'm wondering. We do have. We have a great. Who's candy cane do I have to suck to get that job next year?
I guess it would be mine. Any more questions? [Q] All right, Sal. We got a surprise for you coming in right now. Oh, hi. -Hi. Can I help you? - So sorry. I was hoping he can see Santa a little early. [Murr] Sal. No. Shut them down. We're just getting ready for the party. It'll be. It'll be just.
Just a little while. [Murr] Break the kids heart Sal. "Get out!" Tell her to get out in your. In your elf voice. Get out! Peppermint Snap. Thank you. Oh my God.
