There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on The I Heart Radio App, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Hey and welcome to the short stuff.

I'm Josh.

There's Chuck Jerry's even here.

She's sitting in for Dave C, the super producer.

And this is short stuff.

A good one too if you ask me.

Yeah, so I know that a Christmas story is one of your favorite movies.

And I know that that great scene at the end that is unfortunately now dripping with

ethnic overturns and racism.

But it's still a funny scene of the family going out to eat Chinese food on Christmas.

And an empty Chinese restaurant, the only problem I have with that, well aside from the

other stuff I just mentioned, is that it's not full of Jewish patrons.

Yeah, it's pretty much empty if I remember correctly.

Isn't it?

They're the only ones there.
