On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are begging with everything we\\u2019ve got for an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200-shot, range model air rifle, with a compass in the stock and this thing that tells time. We watched the 1983 film from Bob Clark, A Christmas Story.

We want that air rifle sooo bad, we can\\u2019t even tell you. And no, we won\\u2019t shoot our eyes out. That\\u2019s probably just a myth that someone\\u2019s mom started because they didn\\u2019t want to buy their kid the best toy ever made.

We should take a page out of Ralphie\\u2019s book. We\\u2019ll start leaving hints around the house, accidentally blurting out our desires, and writing surely phenomenal school reports about what we want for Christmas.

It\\u2019s a foolproof plan!

If it can work for Ralphie, then it can work for us, dagnabbit! We\\u2019ve got to get going now. There are plans to be hatched and holiday dreams to be had. Enjoy the episode about this classic film!
