down[/def], my favorite television show during the holiday season is Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. In the show, Rudolph is treated as an outcast by the other reindeer because of his red schnoz. Herbie, an elf who would rather study dentistry than make toys, is also treated as an outcast by the other elves. Feeling like misfits, Rudolph and Herbie run away together.

Listen in on my conversation with Kevin about Rudolph.

Dave:  Did you catch the Christmas specials the other day?

Kevin:  Yes, I did.

Dave:  I missed them. I was really looking forward to seeing Rudolph.

Kevin:  That’s one of my favorites. I think, I mean, that’s something I’ve watched for, now, almost thirty years – scary as that may be – and, um, it’s such a great show. It’s very fun.

Dave:  I love it. When he goes to the Land of Misfit Toys.

Kevin:  Filled with weirdos.

Dave:  Filled with weirdos.

Kevin:  Yeah, pretty much.

Dave:  But, in the end, he saves the day, right, with his glowing nose.
