A spontaneous and unrehearsed interview.

Hello, welcome to Curiosityness, the 101st episode of Curiosityness.

We're officially in triple digits.

We've hit 100.

Feels great.

And now we're just moving on.

Thank you for being here and listening.

If you haven't been here before, I'm Travis DeRose, the host. And Curiosity Nish is a show where I interview

people who you might be curious about to learn about the people or what they do. And that's why I

have on Tom and Holly Valent. They are the owners of the Charles W. Howard

Santa Claus School. They're the deans of the school. So they operate that. So, oh, this quick

disclaimer, if you happen to still believe in Santa, oh, if you know somebody who believes in Santa,

or, you know, if you're under the age of a teenager or whatever,

someone's in the room, maybe shield their ears, push them out of the room before you listen to

this one so we don't destroy any Christmas magic.

But we're going to learn how folks become Mr. and Mrs. Claus, what you have to learn.

You know, do you have to have a real beard?

Do you, how do you manicure and get a

good looking wig or fake beard so you don't scare off the kids and look like a weird out? What's the

type of suit that you need? How do you do the perfect ho, ho, ho? It's more of a chuckle rather than

like a bellow. But we'll learn all about that stuff. So Tom and Holly share basically the whole curriculum of Santa school, what it's like to go there and all that kind of stuff. So it's a really fun episode. A lot of interesting things that you may not have even thought about that Santa Claus's have to learn and go through. So that's it. Thank you for being here. Let's get to the episode. Here is Tom and Holly Valent of the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School. All right. We're rolling. How you doing, Tom and Holly? I think we're good. I think so, huh? I think we're wonderful. It's the most wonderful time of the year right now. It is, yeah. It's all ramping up now. It's getting there. It is. Cool. Thanks for being there, guys. We did our first call of the season this morning. Oh, so what's the first call mean? Go ahead. It's the first time we were Santa and Mrs. Claus for a kindergarten class, they came to the Santa

house and we greeted the children and talked to them about the reindeer and the North Pole
