Welcome to this Yuletide episode of Talking Lamar. Today, I'm talking about taking my kids to see the actual real-life Santa Claus. Let's get to it. What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Sorry, I forgot what I was talking about. What are you talking about? I am talking to you. That's just what I was talking about. It's talking Lamar.

You know, I'm missing Max today. Sadly, he had something else going on, so he's not going to be here for this, but he'll be back on the next Talking Lamar. But I do miss him. But I think I've probably told him this story. Anyway, but I don't think I've done it as far as on my podcast. Now, when my kids were small, Cherokee, North Carolina,

for those of you who don't live anywhere close around to the south,

Cherokee, North Carolina is right outside of Asheville.

And at one point, it and Maggie Valley, it was a tourist mecca.

They had Frontierland.

They had ghost town where they had shootouts in the street with cowboys falling off of the roof.

Evan talks about this, Lamar.

This is like from his childhood.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, my gosh.

I mean, my kids loved it.

You'd take a chairlift up to Ghost Town and they're in the saloon and all of a sudden they had scheduled gunfights and they would challenge each other and they would

shoot each other down in the street.

It was the great,

when you was a kid, it was the most fantastic thing ever. And they had shops up there.

You could, they would be an Indian chief that would allow you to take your picture with him.

If you had a couple extra dollars and he had that big headdress on, they had a shop

that didn't sell nothing but moccasins.

Nothing.

That's all they sold was moccasins.

And these were handmade moccasins.
