It's Saturday, December 19th.

Welcome to a special bonus episode of market foolery.

I'm Chris Hill and this is Apropos of Nothing.

As I said earlier in the week, this is a non-investing episode.

This is me, Bill Mann, and Bill Barker hanging out

in Bill Mann's backyard, just having some fun. A quick shout out to Austin Morgan, who brought the

recording equipment and stood outside with us in the cold. And it was cold people.

So thank you, Austin, for making this this happen and thanks as always to producer

Dan Boyd for putting this episode together. Again if you're looking for stock

ideas now would be a good time to stop listening. No offense taken, I promise.

But if you would like to hang out with three friends who have known each other a long time

and listen to us talk about things like interview questions we wish we could take back, the Mount Rushmore of

soups, unexpected emails we've received over the years, then please, by all means pull up a chair.

Grab yourself a beverage.

Join us at the table.

Bill Barker is about to pitch his idea

for a TV series with Santa Claus as the main character.

So, Santa Claus, apparently very busy, Christmas, Christmas Eve.

Is he really busy the rest of the year?

We don't think so.

The elves, they're doing the work. They're doing the hard work. He's just testy. He's waiting around.

Eventually, to fill the time he decides to, because this is the way life works, you know, he has some he decides to solve crimes.
