 Thefluffiestguineapig: I think Amazon feels emboldened to increase the number of ads because Disney+ and other streaming services have started making a premium for no/reduced ads

   LoadingReadyRun: There was 7 ads because I hit the 3 minute ad button during the countdown. It means it turns prerolls off
  Sarah_Serinde: Well LRR intentially runs a block of ads at the start of the stream so future folks don't get prerolls
 HbombAndFriends: is there supposed to be sound?
DideRobot: LRR: Tonight on a very special Bonus Stream, it's the 10th anniversary of A Cameron & Ian Christmas.

 TheAwkes: Cover says: The Maniac
 azninsect:  Camthelion ButButTheJesus
 PharaohBender27: @dougma If you are talking about the book, it's "The Ma[can't make out the rest]"
 Strebenherz: ginger ale
 public_key_reveal_party: I can't help but feel labeling this as "just chatting" is a little misleading
 ghizmou: eggnog
 Laogeodritt: Hi, Ian, Cam, chat!

Oscelot: @Singenmeister second week of migraine, so just water =(

 Laogeodritt offers camthelion a bowl of warm, comforting mushroom jook
 orrie104: rocking an Angel’s Envy here (along with Sheqesi)
 Simonark: The Just Chatting category tag is excellent by the way
 SymphonySolstice: I have a salted caramel hot chocolate
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot OH NO, I also get migraines so I feel your pain. Maybe botox as treatment if you have multi week migraines?
 Dog_of_Myth: Sadly missed the start but happy to be here now.
 ButButTheJesus: @Simonark 
 sheqesi: Cheers!
 PharaohBender27: @ArdCollider Oh right - I think Cameron talked about this book during the subathon?
 Strebenherz: Ian, emptying his mind without sceaming about emptying his mind
 patfinder: Ian's unbreaking eye contact is soothingly creepy
Bionull: I'm very skeptical of Booker prize winners after reading Orbital
 Laogeodritt offers oscelot and pharaohbender27 each a hug
 TheWriterAleph: would this qualify as a mukbang stream?
  Simriel: Ian currently looks like he has never had a single thought

 RockPusher contemplates how much harder it would be to fake convincingly being on location than just actually being on location
 TheDevil_Risen: this lined up perfectly with my lunch break at work
  mtvcdm: Oh, yeah, I need to get my book too.
 VorlonScout: <raises his glass of Balvenie PX Cask 18 to chat… over Ham, who is  standing in my lap.>
 Sorator13: Ian just needs some vocal rest after the crapshoot earlier, that's all
 PharaohBender27 silently  s in @Laogeodritt 's direction
 teddywhosabear: I should've broken out something fancy for this
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig It's possible, but probably just going to try and get an abortive, one of the newer drugs. Problem is, my doctor network doesn't have a single neurologist that works on migraines right now
 ButButTheJesus: @VorlonScout HI HAM
 Darleysam: @Simriel well he was just clearing his mind, so it makes sense
  mtvcdm: My book: Stickhandling Between The Margins: First Nations Hockey In Canada
 Camthelion: @Laogeodritt havent heard of it, but ill try it! (and look it up!)
 BrokenGolem: time to fall into a hole trying to ID the label
 I_Drink_To_Forget_Thermo: I treated myself to a bottle of Glenfiddich 21 at Heathrow Duty free, $100 cheaper than stateside. Still haven't opened it
 definenull: Aww I think the fireplace might be too far away for a good crackle 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot That sucks ass, I'm very sorry
Oscelot: @Laogeodritt *hughug*
 RedAlexxis: I love that the stream category for this is "Just Chatting"
 TheAwkes: Over here we're on my Glynnevan Cabot Triple Barreled Canadian Rye Whisky.
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah x.X ty friend
 Scy_Anide: My drink certainly looks like whisky, but it's actually gin. Amass mushroom reserve gin. It smells like flowers and tastes like perfume and it is so, so very good.
 VorlonScout: my “book” is the chat monitor
 HbombAndFriends: 100
 PharaohBender27: I probably have one of the more basic whiskeys here - Pendleton. In my defense, I don't drink the hard stuff that often.
spicemelonge: Having a bottle of Founders Dirty B****** myself
Oscelot: @TheAwkes Hot damn that's a lot of words XD
 ekimekim: I got a bottle of Green Chartruse for christmas, and I'm treating myself to a small amount of it, neat
 I_Drink_To_Forget_Thermo: Probably gonna pour some Glenallachie 15
Oscelot: @VorlonScout Same
DoodlestheGreat: Have we been told just what Cam & ian are imbibing this evening?
 BigDaddyBland87: Woodford Double Oaked for me
Oscelot: @Scy_Anide Oh that sounds fascinating
  Simriel: Hrm... Do I grab a snifter of Rum
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Is Paul running the stream remotely this time? Or is this in the moonbase itself?
 PharaohBender27: !spreadsheet
 I_Drink_To_Forget_Thermo: Woodford double oaked is my go to Bourbon
 sheqesi: @bigdaddybland8 nice!
 CantWearHats: *opens shutters* You there chat, what day is this?
KadmosTech: This oddly enough is my ideal Christmas. It's quiet, and there's scotch.

 VorlonScout: @pharaohbender27 Nothing wrong with basic! I just happened to splurge at the duty free on the way home from Vancouver this week
 Mischievous_Catgeist: I am partakpartaking in the mountain Dew of the Baja blast region
chaostreader: I could never do what Ian does in this stream. I can’t imagine sitting for an hour with only my thoughts and a drink.
 azninsect: CantWearHats it's A Cameron & Ian Christmas day!
Oscelot: @TheOtherTrevor That link doesn't do much of anything for me>
 CantWearHats: Then I haven't missed it!
 spethycakes: My local Detroit-style pizza place (not in Michigan) finally got a shipment of Vernors in, so I will toast everyone with the best ginger soda known to humanity 
 margieargie: Drinking along with an old fashioned, reading along with When The Sea Came Alive
 ProcyonFlynn: Dip-Nib and Bottle of shimmering grey ink.  About as classic fluid as I've got 
 CaptainSpam: @spethycakes Aw yeah.
Oscelot: @margieargie Oooo. Liquid nightmares?
  Juliamon: We are working on getting the command updated.
Oscelot: @ProcyonFlynn Tht sounds gorgeous 
 BigDaddyBland87: @VorlonScout Absolutely. Only on special occasions do I get to "splurge". Mostly basic stuff for me as well
 Laogeodritt: So I am currently brushing up on some stochastic process basics and... I've forgotten how to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors. D=
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @ProcyonFlynn I can't tell if you are talking about ink for art or a drink but either way sounds interesting
 BrokenGolem: I think I found the scotch? Ardmore 1998 EID bottled by Elixir Distillers with a 23 yr age statement
 margieargie: @Oscelot It's about the Normandy landings so... kind of, in a way
 Dog_of_Myth: I am going to open up one of my Taxman Brewing Bourbon Barrel Imperial Bean Counter beers.
 Singenmeister: I just want to know if this is green screen or a new location.
Oscelot: @margieargie Ahhh, gotcha. Liquid nightmares, but the more boring, human shaped kind.  (teasing)
jubale1: I never watch this much every year, but I’m glad it exists.
 spethycakes: @Singenmeister AI-generated background, surely

Snowcookies: anyone listening to music during this? I have ffxiv housing music cos I have the game open
 CantWearHats: yeah this is a new location for sure, real fire and everything
 BrokenGolem: @PharaohBender27 it looks pretty close to me, but i'm open to being wrong
  Sarah_Serinde: It's the 10th anniversary, they got fancier than usual
 spethycakes: @Oscelot I think LRR are some of the last people I would expect to do this
 Laogeodritt: singenmeister: based on the diffraction and diffusion of the background through the bottle, this seems like a real location
 PharaohBender27: Also, those are some very fancy drinking glasses. Can't say I've seen that kind before
 CantWearHats: 10 years, hot damn
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Looking at the spreadsheet. I had forgotten that last years was right before Loading Ready Live
 VinylMinty: yes Ian knows how to drink whiskey!
 Singenmeister: @snowcookies Literally just finished watching a Christmas concert of an amazing Irish choir called Anuna.
 RedAlexxis: @CantWearHats I was wondering about that, but you might be right, a room with a real fireplace is an upgrade
 VinylMinty: Dilute it with water to unlock the lflavors
Riandisa: @Snowcookies I'm listening to the FFXI holday music in FFXIV's Lower Jeuno
DoodlestheGreat: @BrokenGolem I think you've found it, good sir and/or madam.
jubale1: ironic category
Oscelot: @spethycakes Yep. They have way too many artists in this communityto go down that path. (and also are not complete [unintelligible screeching])
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters Yup, Cam and Ian ended with Cam chugging a soda to do a burp bit into Live
asddsa28: as always i am heaving my best tea along with and this year it is Nong Ti Quan Yin. happy stream all
 BigDaddyBland87: *in golf announcer voice* Oh Ian went for the water. Bold choice there
 PharaohBender27: @VinylMinty Wait you're *supposed* to water it down!? 
Oscelot: @Singenmeister Oh heck, I misssed their christmas concert?
MMoritz: apropos of nothing, i work in a shop and every time I see The Terror on our shelves i think of Cam.
 Laogeodritt: pharaohbender27: they're excellent for scotches and whiskeys. Designed to enhance the nose of the drink.
 Elaro_56: Can I ask what Cam is reading?
  Simriel: Ian is really winning the sip race this year but Cameron is catching up
Nychthemeron: not sure the vintage but that appears to be ardmore distillery 23 year
 BrokenGolem: @DoodlestheGreat cool! my whiskey collecting habit has a use aside from taking up storage space!
Oscelot: @Oscelot Entertainingly Anuna was my very first CD. Had to import it special hehe
  Juliamon: command will be available momentarily
 RandomTrivia: Oh butts, almost missed this! Hi friends! 
Firewhiskers: Hey I'm late. What'd I miss?
 BigDaddyBland87: @PharaohBender27 A splash of water can sometimes bring the flavors out
 azninsect: RandomTrivia 
 JRandomHacker: @Elaro_56 The Maniac, Benjamin Labatut
 VinylMinty: PharaohBender27 it helps dilute it a little bit so it changes the flavor profile and helps reduces the alcoholic strength
  mtvcdm: Looks like BrokenGolem got it on the drink
 ohjanji: 
 Laogeodritt: pharaohbender27: For some whiskeys yes, and it can be contentious which ones need a little water and how much.
 PharaohBender27: Hold on, about to try a thing.
Oscelot: @Juliamon 
Oscelot: @PharaohBender27 Uhoh.
 stippledotter: I watched a bourbon documentary, and official bourbon tasters often actually water down their drinks in order to bring out the subtle notes that get overpowered by the alcohol content
 Singenmeister: @oscelot Well, it was a recording, so feel free to look up”a whisper of paradise” if interested.
  Graham_LRR: Just checked, they’re drinking a Ardmore Distillery 23 year Single Malt
Oscelot: @Singenmeister tyty
Oscelot: Thanks Graham
 CantWearHats: this stream pairs well with the smooth jazz I was listening to before coming here
 orrie104: thanks Graham!
Nychthemeron: @Graham_LRR 97?
 TheDevil_Risen: @Graham_LRR nice!
  amative1: and G with the confirmation
Oscelot: Also Merry Chrimblemass G
 CantWearHats: oooh a very nice whiskey, by the sounds of it
Despoiler98: waiti is this the first time they've been seated like this isnt Cam on the left usually?
 BrokenGolem: @stippledotter some are also very particularly about their water. some distilleries now see their water so you are using the one it was made with
  amative1: @Nychthemeron We think it's a 98
 BigDaddyBland87: Thanks G
Nychthemeron: hell yeah
 TheDevil_Risen: yes, Merry Christmas all 
Firewhiskers: Ooo Ian almost cracked a smile
 ButButTheJesus: Happity Chrimbass to all

Firewhiskers: And we have shaken not stirred

  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, nosole! (Today's storm count: 78)
  Graham_LRR: Also, Cameron is reading The Maniac by Benjamín Labutut
Nychthemeron: danke
 Arclight_Dynamo: I quite like the look of those Glencairn glasses. The faceted look is uncommon.
 PharaohBender27: Hm. Can't say adding a small amount of water really enhanced things for me, but then again I might just lack the pallette to notice such things
Oscelot: You know chat, this is the one time of the year when we can be really heckin' nice to these bois and they can't do a damn thing about it :3
  amative1: !what
  LRRbot: The drink: Ardmore 1998 EID | The book: The Maniac by Benjamin Labatut | The data: https://tinyurl.com/aCamandIanChristmas | The past: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsy9DTCWSlniUheVKNr-P4MtfqOsT_uDO
 TheDevil_Risen: Cam adjusts his glasses
 Darleysam: still feels like the Stare-Eyes Contest bits from Big Train
Oscelot: Thanks mods 
Firewhiskers: What is the symbol on Cam's sweater?
 TheDevil_Risen: fire crackles
Oscelot: Chaos I believe @Firewhiskers
Firewhiskers: @Oscelot Thank you!
 stippledotter: @brokengolem oh, for sure. Living in Kentucky vaguely near to one or another distillery or few means I've met folks with ~opinions~
Oscelot: From warhammer, to be more clear @Firewhiskers
 ErisOfSpace: that is a good fire
 Thefluffiestguineapig: The fact there is an entire chat of people who enjoy this kind of stuff as much as I do and keep data is such a good feeling
 Strebenherz: 100
 Laogeodritt: Oh right, I forgot to open VST chat last time I rebooted. Surely VST's sheeting this Cam & Ian Christmas like usual. =V
 sheqesi: If one of these garlands drops it's going to make some noise, right?
 definenull: Look, the VST have to do something on their offseasons
 ProcyonFlynn: to Oscelot & TheFluffiestGuineaPig it is a super generic glass pen, and the ink is named moonstone.  Stationery is basically my thing  just doing daily journal stuff. [sorry for delayed reply, keyboard out of reach]
Oscelot: @stippledotter *cackles* Yeeeeah
 Arclight_Dynamo: I swear, at the end of the twentieth one of these streams, they'll both suddenly shout "The Aristocrats!" and go offline.
 BigDaddyBland87: @stippledotter as fellow Kentuckian, I "totally surprised" by that
Oscelot: @ProcyonFlynn No problem  Thanks for replying!
 ekimekim: definenull: given the number of other jobs i have during the run, this is my one chance all year to do good old VST sheeting work
 BrokenGolem: @stippledotter i can only imagine! i'm in boston and - not nearly as whiskey focused - and people are full of opinions
  mtvcdm: The next step is always, look up how much the scotch costs, and then crying!
ThorSokar: @Laogeodritt We even have a logo for this sillyness now!
 zeusdosjogos: Love you all!!  Have a great Christmas!!
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @BigDaddyBland87 As someone from the Midwest who used to do horse stuff in Kentucky also color me shocked -.-
Firewhiskers: Does anyone else have the urge to zip up Ian's tie?
 PharaohBender27: @zeusdosjogos 
Oscelot: @Firewhiskers Well I *didn't*
  Juliamon: It's weird seeing so much lens distortion on the edges.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot Yes, thanks for the reply! That sounds like a super cool thing to be into
 sheqesi: @firewhiskers Not until now...
Despoiler98: Yes Cam's sweater is covered in the many variations of the 8 pointed Star of Chaos from Warhammer and Warhammer 40K
Despoiler98: and also skulls......cause warhammer
 MadWolf1290: ooooh, fancy fireplace
 definenull: Thank you Juliamon, now can't unsee \j
 CantWearHats: a position switch from cameron, good strategy for this event
Oscelot: @Juliamon Yeah, a bit. It matches the distortion in the backgrouond though so that's interesting. It thought it was just the friend zone tv behind them before I noticed
 margieargie: Glad we've got all the Kentuckians in here talking about bourbon opinions, the internet being just like my regular life for once 
Despoiler98: is the background real or is this greenscreened?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Despoiler98 Cause warhammer or are caused by warhammer? Or both I guess?
Despoiler98: @Thefluffiestguineapig skulls for the skull throne
 TheWriterAleph: i forget, is ian watching chat or just meditating?

 CantWearHats: it certainly looks like they're on location
 BigDaddyBland87: @margieargie What can we say, a steam where 2 people sit and drink tends to draw us out
 PharaohBender27: @Juliamon Yeah, I noticed that pretty upfront, and just assume it's a deliberate "soft focus" aesthetic
 CaptainSpam: I thought they never watch chat during C&I, for obvious reasons.
 jessieimproved:  
 lirazel64: I may pour a wee glass of the Laphroaig myself in a bit.
 PharaohBender27: @CaptainSpam It is debated to this day whether they watch chat or not . . .
 RockPusher: hehehe, I had wondered if we were going to run into "do we need to stoke the fire" questions
 Brozard: What did I miss?
 margieargie: @BigDaddyBland87 Just a normal Saturday evening, really
Firewhiskers: @Brozard Just some drinkin'
 Brozard: nice
 dougma: Drinking Glenrothers 18 here
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: and some page turns
 PharaohBender27: Oh right, the fire is getting kind of low
 Mischievous_Catgeist:   
 tajessa: Hello friends
Oscelot: @RockPusher Someone just leans in in the morph suit and stokes it behind them while they completely ignore it XD
dheid1: Foolish question: are we in a different location than in previous years?
melegaunt_: A truly masterful sip by Ian.
 Nigouki: watch Cam just thrown the book into the fireplace and pull out another one
 TheWriterAleph: cam grabs a log and no-scopes it into the fireplace over his shoulder

 TheWriterAleph: @Nigouki lol
Snowcookies: this is definitely not a green screen that's for sure
 RockPusher: Oscelot  though I wouldn't trust being in the morph suit that close to an open fire
Brozard subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 73 months!
 Brozard: I did this
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Brozard! (Today's storm count: 82)
 dougma: yes, given the refraction of the fire through the bottle, that is at a real fireplace
 PharaohBender27: But then again, this is the solstice, so perhaps the gradual dimming of the fire is meant to represent the shortness of this day? 
asddsa28: it looks nice
Araragi298: how on earth is Ian able to just look at the camera for this long
  Juliamon: Araragi298 Years of training
Oscelot: Actually yeah, I DO think it's the friend zone TV, because I see the reflection of blinds at the endges
 TheWriterAleph: @Araragi298 consummate professional
yargle: IS this on a loop? 
 Brozard: @araragi298 He’s a professional
Firewhiskers: @Araragi298 He's playing Yakuza games in his head
TheAinMAP:   
 BigDaddyBland87: he's a master at clearing his mind
 PharaohBender27: @Araragi298 A decade of practice
 Nigouki: @Snowcookies Good ol' rear projection :V
 CantWearHats: Ian has mastered the art of staring directly into camera after 10 years of doing this
Firewhiskers: @yargle Nope!
 Verrain2: He is an angry zen master.
 tajessa: @pharaohbender27 oh lord has it been that long?
Oscelot: *snerk*
yargle: or he's watching another stream
melegaunt_: @araragi298 you just need to ~~empty your mind~~
 Brozard: Maybe someone hijacked Ian’s feed and looped it, like in Speed
 lirazel64: I hope Ian's tonsils are responding to treatment. His throat had a workout today.
Oscelot: Ian examining the fire, clearly not a loop
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Firewhiskers This is the sheer force of Cam and Ian's wills
Oscelot: @lirazel64 Busy crapshoot?
 Singenmeister: @verrain2 WHY ISN’T YOUR MIND EMPTY
Araragi298: @melegaunt_ but theres STUFF in my MIND
  Simriel: I wonder if Ian had any of Jacobs Goo available to help him
 margieargie: They have NOT demonstrated a loop and we are not required to concede
 azninsect: your mind, full of STUFF
 BrokenGolem: well, i clearly am amateurish in savoring a dram. time for a refill!
 TheAwkes: A one hour loop that will play once.
 PharaohBender27: @tajessa This is the 10th Cam and Ian Christmas
  Simriel: Jacobs Goo is amazing for any throat problems
 RandomTrivia: "Now I have your mind-shit all over my floor!"
Despoiler98: why do you have so many THINGS in your MIND
 CantWearHats: BrokenGolem sounds like you're doing it right to me 
aerohydra: @Simriel phrasing
Oscelot: @Simriel Pei Pa Koa. Jacob prefers that it be called by the real name to avoid ah... bogarting a cultural medicine.

 PharaohBender27: @Simriel FYI, the name is "Nin jiom pei pa koa" and Jacob really doesn't like people calling it "Jacob's goo," from what I've heard
 Doc_Layzah: Who's on log duty?
 Singenmeister: One of these days I really need to swap this for the Yule log channel at my family gathering and see how they react.
Despoiler98: I know this is a Cam/Ian thing but I feel like Jacob would enjoy doing this one year
 Dog_of_Myth: oooo creaky chair
 tajessa: @pharaohbender27 well that's horrifying, lucky I have this soothing stream to calm me from this knowledge
 xantos69: Good chair sound.
 CantWearHats: ooh listen to that chair creak
  Simriel: @Oscelot That's entirely valid, if a lot less funny a phrasing
 CantWearHats: at least I hope that was the chair
Oscelot: @Simriel Yeah hehe
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Despoiler98 I think his ADHD might be too strong for the entire hour
 BigDaddyBland87: that chair was going ASMR there
Despoiler98: are these chairs new?
 Marvoleath: Love that this is under "just chatting"
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Jacob would be an interesting choice for a stream like this.
 RockPusher: CantWearHats look, the chair is getting on a bit, like me, and so creaks a bit, like me.
 hawktonguebaby: @marvoleath 😄
 Mai_Andra: I'm just waiting for Alex to crash like 'Crazy Harry' from the Muppet Show.
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh ADHD can be perfectly fine for this. Zoning out is something we're GREAT at
Despoiler98: ooooh Cam with the no look grab
Firewhiskers: A fantastic sip by Cam
 PharaohBender27: @Marvoleath Look, sometimes you can't find an accurate category for your stream but are obligated to choose one
 tajessa: @despoiler98 very advanced tactics
  Simriel: Hrm, I am curious what Camerons thought on this whisky are
Despoiler98: @tajessa hes been practicing in the off season
 CantWearHats: these are seasoned pros at work, folks
 orrie104: These chairs appear to be new to stream… lending credence to the possibility of a location shoot of some kind
Firewhiskers: Am I correct that Cam is wearing a watch on his right wrist but Ian is wearing a watch on his left?
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: Just Chatting if the correct one, even though they aren't chatting
Oscelot: *silently cheers on her favorite team*
 TheWriterAleph: @Mai_Andra one of these years...
 stippledotter: With every chair squeak, I fear the chair will break, due to recent comedic timing at my dnd table
  amative1: @AMillionCatsOnTypewriters we're doing the chatting, I guess
Dog_of_Myth gifted a Tier 1 sub to CantWearHats! They have given 1606 Gift Subs in the channel!
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, CantWearHats! (Today's storm count: 85)
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot As someone with ADHD as part of my neurospicy scovil makeup I get that. I can't zone out when I feel like I'm being observed/performing but I'm also high anxiety
Oscelot: @stippledotter oh noooo
 PharaohBender27: @Firewhiskers Well, Cameron is left-handed, and I believe Ian is right-handed, so this makes sense
 Singenmeister: Now Ian is smiling about how his Tau will wipe everybody out next AF40K.
 Brozard: @stippledotter do tell
bramble_st: This vibe is so soothing.
  CantWearHats: @Dog_of_Myth eyyy Thanks for the gift sub!
Firewhiskers: @PharaohBender27 Excellent, just wanted to confirm
 Laogeodritt: orrie104: There's been a few chat observations that lead credence to the hypothesis that this is the friend zone.
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Fair enough. I think it might be different for someone who's used to be performing,but we're all different

 PharaohBender27: Because you want your watch on your less-dominant hand, so you can still look at it while writing or whatnot
 Thefluffiestguineapig: DeM0nFiRe with maximum generosity as always
 Brozard: Is it just me, or is there some weird lensing aberration in the corners that aren’t on these boys?
Firewhiskers: Background noise?
 azninsect: i would love if they hired an airbnb or something just for this. but id equally be as amused if this was greenscreen in studio
 TheDevil_Risen: leg swap hype!
  CantWearHats: Ian checking on the fire, an important task
Oscelot: @PharaohBender27 Yep, looks like
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @PharaohBender27 I do watch on dominant hand but that's because I use it to time while I auscultate animals
  Juliamon: Brozard The distortion is absolutely on them too
 BrokenGolem: i've settled on Hibiki 12 for my 2nd dram. What's everyone else enjoying?
 PharaohBender27: @Firewhiskers I believe those have been determined to be chair noises
 orrie104: @laogeodritt it definitely could be but then why ring in new chairs?  
Firewhiskers: @PharaohBender27 The chairs are rambunctious tonight
 orrie104: *bring
 Brozard: @juliamon tbf I’m on my phone, a little hard to tell 
 lirazel64: This reminds me of the fireplaces I've seen at country clubs built in the 60s-70s.
Oscelot: @Brozard There's a bit of abberation on them too, but my theory is that it's more extreme on the backgrund either because it's further away, or because it' spart of the original video
 tajessa: @BrokenGolem I'm enjoying a cold brew coffee as it is summer here
 stippledotter: @brozard DM (who is also my husband): okay, everyone roll for initiative. Player: "remember, we have a surprise round!" DM: *sits down dramatically in chair.* DM: *keeps going*
nyoomgoom: @Oscelot can confirm my inattentive-type adhd means that if i must sit and do nothing, i certainly can do so. physically, i sit and stare. mentally, for better or worse i am Everywhere Else lol
 PharaohBender27: And I more and more realize the value that a stream doesn't just parrot chat's messages or pick up chat's key presses, because man would that ruin the vibe 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: The success of this Cam and Ian christmas is definitely if the chairs are the most rambunctious things on screen
 Brozard: @stippledotter lol oh noooo, hopefully they were fine
Phrawger: thank goodness it's that time of year again
 BrokenGolem: @tajessa nice!
Oscelot: @nyoomgoom Saaaaame. I'm off on an adventure. XD
NvN396: I like this
Ned_Flandalorian: my tv keeps auto-dimming due to lack of on-screen movement
 InconsiderateHat: @nyoomgoom *fist bump*
 PharaohBender27: @Ned_Flandalorian 
Oscelot: @InconsiderateHat *fist bump*
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @PharaohBender27 Failure of smart TV
Despoiler98: I love that the symbol on Cam's left arm is the World Eaters variation of the chao star
 Alahmnat: smart TV is anything but
 tajessa: is Ian wearing the bus stop pin on his lapel?
 PharaohBender27: @Thefluffiestguineapig You mean ""smart"" TV
 TheAwkes: Aaaaand, cue stream alert email!
 LathosTiran: @tajessa yep
 BrokenGolem: Happy Solstice everyone! Couldn't dream of a better way to spend part of it
 InconsiderateHat: @tajessa Oh yup!
 stippledotter: @brozard they were! ...especially when the other rickety chair also failed the next week when he put his backpack down on it 😂
 BigDaddyBland87: Ian knows his brand
 tajessa: nice 
asddsa28: my head set turns off some time cos it thinks there is not enough sound i dont like that ether
head_cannon: First round of snow-shoveling this morning, followed by a 9-hour shift. I needed this solace after all that malarkey. This tradition is great.
Oscelot: I can see the bezel of the TV over Cam's shoulder XD
 PharaohBender27: @head_cannon Dang. Hope you're not too sore.
nyoomgoom: @Oscelot hell yeha fist bumps all around. adhd squad
Oscelot: (This isn't a problem of course, just feeling clever lol)
Oscelot: @nyoomgoom \o/
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @PharaohBender27 Yes, I apologize I forgot to add the appropriate amount of textual sarcasm/remote sass. But you are correct (not trying to be rude, I just realized that could seem like I'm being petulant)
 BigDaddyBland87: I've mentioned this in the past, but I love coming back to these throughout the year. Great way to de-escalate
DoodlestheGreat: Is that the same green screen they were using this afternoon for the Crapshoot?
 TheAwkes: @Oscelot You mean the c-stand as part of their professional grip and lighting package?
Despoiler98:   I helped my 'rents decorate the tree today
TheDailyMapleSyrup: Now it is Christmas
EmoMcHipster: A normal evening at the Chantry
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh that's a mood x.X
 Simonark: Sure, the performances are incredible but it’s the writing that brings me back year after year
Oscelot: @TheAwkes Suuuuure
 PharaohBender27: @Thefluffiestguineapig Oh no, I didn't get that impression at all. I was just adding to the snark.
 ButButTheJesus: some real world-building here
Oscelot: @Despoiler98 Nice! I still need to get mine out
head_cannon: @PharaohBender27 Might be in the morning. For now I am warm & dry and imbibing a dram of Bowmore and all is well. 
DoodlestheGreat: @Simonark I came for the pretzels.
Oscelot: @head_cannon Oofadoofa. Want a sports doc trick to avoid soreness?
 PharaohBender27: @Despoiler98 Nice!
 tajessa: in all seriousness, this is an annual highlight for me, my personal adhd gremlins make it hard for me to slow down and this is so nice 
Oscelot: @tajessa Same
 TheAwkes: You don't get lighting like this accidentally after 4:00 in this region in December.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot Oh yeah, the number of times I have to explain that my affect is deadened due to autism plus my extremely dry humor because people think I'm just a monster is more than I'm comfortable with
 Simonark: @doodlesthegreat The twists are the best in the business
 definenull: how has it already been 30 minutes?!?!?
Oscelot: @Oscelot I always feel almost like I've meditated
 Singenmeister: @simonark How will they follow up last year’s garland failure!? The anticipation is palpable!
 Lord_Hosk: Its my favorite time of year
  amative1: @definenull Time moves ever forward... unless the police.
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Yeah >.<
 PharaohBender27: @Thefluffiestguineapig 
  CantWearHats: this is definitely the closest I can get to meditation
 tajessa: @Oscelot yes! and I hate meditating and find it difficult, this is great
 L0rdX33n: I just tuned in, has it been this refined and dignified for the last 30 minutes?
  CantWearHats: sure has
 JadedCynic: *relaxes without comment*
Oscelot: @L0rdX33n Pretty much yeah
 L0rdX33n: exxxxxxcelent
 PharaohBender27: @L0rdX33n On screen, yes.
 Xavorin: Oh, thank goodness Ian and Cam are here. It's not Christmas time until they join us.
Despoiler98: *stares*

 L0rdX33n: … I should light the fireplace
 Arclight_Dynamo: A strong pour.
 BigDaddyBland87: *golf clap*
 TheDevil_Risen:    
 PharaohBender27: He . . . just placed the log with *his hands* into the fire
head_cannon: Real fire?? Damn, what a treat.
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Is this a paradigm shift for C&I Christmas
 xantos69: Hua... and I figured that was a green screen.
 AMillionCatsOnTypewriters: I was wondering if they were going to wait until the end of the stream to confirm it.
 Singenmeister: 
 lamina5432: was the off focus a false lead
 sheqesi: Log!  It's big it's heavy it's wood!
 azninsect: this will go down in history. what a MOVE
 DeM0nFiRe: 
 ButButTheJesus: I was away, was fire just proven?
 margieargie: They are really shaking things up this year
 Brozard: Chat, we have achieved interaction 
 L0rdX33n: WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING ALL DAY?
 TheDevil_Risen:   
 BrokenGolem: happy 10th!
 TheAwkes: A more generous pour for the second glass. Let's see if this pays off for him.
  mtvcdm: !clip
  LRRbot: If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Please give your clips descriptive names if you want them to be seen!)
 Tree_san: This is the best Christmas tradition
 Simonark: Thjs is where that 120 Million dollar budget goes and it’s worth every penny, it’s all up on screen
 PharaohBender27: I mean, bravo proving it wasn't a greenscreen, but . . .
Oscelot:   
 tajessa: good swirling action from Cam
 BrokenGolem: 
bramble_st: Have we confirmed any padding on the chairs?
 ButButTheJesus: now THAT'S a bold move Cotton
  Sarah_Serinde: Chat was so confident it was fake I was starting to think maybe you were right 
  CantWearHats: never in all my years of covering this sport have we seen a move like that, this is history unfolding foilks
 jibkat: 
 RockPusher: PharaohBender27 remember when you are holding the log toward the fire you have a whole log of insulation
 Arclight_Dynamo: Smash cut to "Anyway, it's live... so something's going to happen."
 BigDaddyBland87: fire confirmed real
Oscelot: Now I really am wondering what the "bezel" is lol
  CantWearHats: probably a lighting stand
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Arclight_Dynamo So shortcutting last year's bit?
 Lord_Hosk: They hired a mason to come in and build this fireplace in the moonbase.  She comes tomorrow to tear it out.
 cmdrud87: 
Oscelot: @Arclight_Dynamo That was last year 
 margieargie: I can't believe they'd ruin this stream by moving like that! 
 L0rdX33n: Have we seen what Cam is reading?
 lirazel64: @oscelot tinsel, maybe?
  Sarah_Serinde: !what

 azninsect: then it turns out only the fire is real and its a cutout of the larger green screen in the back 
 RockPusher: Arclight_Dynamo I think the tarp budget would need to be bigger for the location suppliers to allow a LRL in there 
 PharaohBender27: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/WealthyHungryNikudonDatSheffy-OmQ7olqt4nVq7Ede

Oscelot: @lirazel64 It looks like a solid thing of wood
 TheAwkes: @Oscelot Like I said, it's a c-stand. They use them regularly in production.
 tajessa: @Oscelot I think it might be the top of some sort of fire iron holder/implement
  Sarah_Serinde: Arclight_Dynamo It was!
 iris_of_ether: https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clip/HorribleExpensiveYakinikuJKanStyle-SHm9jKZXH2-SrQM6
 Arclight_Dynamo: Welp. 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Arclight_Dynamo Last year C&I Christmas ended with Cam chugging a soda to do a belching bit directly into Live
  Sarah_Serinde: it was a good bit 
asddsa28: plain why noe you could not wait could you
Oscelot: @TheAwkes Huh. Could be right yeah. It just looks flat to me
 Laogeodritt: l0rdx33n: _The MANIAC_, Benjamín Labatut, 2023
Oscelot: @iris_of_ether Thank you XD
 TheAwkes: @Oscelot Wait... wood? The edge of the fireplace? That's the edge of the fireplace.
Squallloir: omg that bit was genius
 L0rdX33n: @laogeodritt Thank you
  Simriel: The straight into Live bit last year was Amazing
nyoomgoom: idk how anyone could think it was a greenscreen, it's been casting light in ways a greenscreen simply couldn't. there is an Inimitable Presence of Warmth
Oscelot: @TheAwkes No, it's right over the edge of cameron's shoulder, almost to the edge of the video
 iris_of_ether: @Oscelot 
  Simriel: Ian's outfit is superb this year I must say
Despoiler98: whaaaaaat it s a real  fire!? Where ARE THEY?
 BigDaddyBland87: I completely forgot about them going straight to Live last year
Oscelot: I'm gonna guess this is Graham's parent's house
  Simriel: @Despoiler98 At the Fire
Oscelot: I have no reason to guess there but that's my guess XD
 RockPusher: I hope Graham takes some B-roll of the firelight flickering through the bottle and glasses
 TheDevil_Risen: I do love the earthy tones in both Cam's and Ian's attire
 orrie104: @nyoomgoom Speculation was a TV screen behind them, much like recent Dice Friends
 iris_of_ether: I think places in Victoria can be rented, like this
 L0rdX33n: That is some really nice stone work
Oscelot: @iris_of_ether Yep
  CantWearHats: this year's Cameron and Ian christmas comes to you live from an undisclosed location in British Columbia, Canada
 RockPusher: Oscelot nooo, the kayfabe!
 Lord_Hosk: Does anyone see that bit of fuz floating around Ian's ear?
nyoomgoom: @orrie104 still, casting light in ways the tv couldn't, either, i feel
An anonymous user gifted a Tier 1 sub to Despoiler98! 
  LRRbot:  Thanks for subscribing, Despoiler98! (Today's storm count: 92)
  Juliamon: We KNOW they can be rented, they did it for 5 PS5s
Oscelot: @RockPusher lol
 tajessa: I continue to adore LRR and the community. We have 441 people here watching two men drink whiskey in silence.
 Dread_Pirate_Westley: @iris_of_ether 5 PS5's was in a rented space,
 Arclight_Dynamo: I genuinely love the fireplace itself. The stonework is very nice.
 Dog_of_Myth: @iris_of_ether So that's where the tarp budget went!
head_cannon: My favorite part of last year was suddenly switching to a cheap light beer, just to swing to the exact *opposite* of a fancy scotch.
 LiveFaust: Is this where they filmed "Five PS5s"?
 TheWooglie: @tajessa and a fire
 Despoiler98: @AnAnonymousGifter Thanks for the gift sub!     aw thank you

 PharaohBender27: @Oscelot "Hey, Mum and Dad, could you let us film in your house for a bit this evening?" "*sigh* Yes, Graham, of course."
Oscelot: @PharaohBender27 It wouldn't be the first time 
 BigDaddyBland87: in all seriousness, I want to have a fireplace like that when I retire
 RockPusher: (the fireplace has featured in other LRR christmas content)

 orrie104: @l0rdx33n Lol

 TheWooglie: @L0rdX33n take that back. I'm very corrigible

 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot Whacha baking?

 Laogeodritt: jibkat: how dær (but festive)
 hawktonguebaby: This is like Judge's Tower for the VST. Keeps them sharp.

Oscelot: @jibkat I heard the universal cat summon. yes?
ghyllnox: Do we know if they have a chat monitor set up there?

 Serpens77: @Oscelot Ian, his gaze serene
 tajessa: @Oscelot I love this
  Sarah_Serinde: they *are* adorable, especially since they're not currently begging for food or otherwise causing trouble 
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Kitties!!!!!!!!!!!
 RockPusher: Sarah_Serinde so innocent, what slanderous lies about them being troublemakers!

 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Sarah_Serinde Are they Siamese mixes of some kind?
  Sarah_Serinde: I don't think they're even mixes, just Siamese
 Laogeodritt: Could we correct Labatut's given name in LRRbot?
 Serpens77: @kireawolf a word taco
Oscelot: @splott2k He's very good at smiling without moving. Which I swear sounds like a Zen Koan
 PharaohBender27: @Underachiever28 This is an annual tradition around this time - Ian and Cameron just sit silently while drinking whisky/reading. And while chat is active, I do feel the appeal is that it's harkening to the idea of just quietly, comfortably, existing.
Oscelot: @Sarah_Serinde Auntie priveleges
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot Ian has been honed by years and years of doing improv with Beej
 PharaohBender27: No need to do small talk or discuss anything, just . . . exist.
  Simriel: The appeal is quiet, peaceful community
 hawktonguebaby: Wow, I just looked it up and…that is a serious bottle.
 lirazel64: I have my Laphroaig, all is well.
Oscelot: @PharaohBender27 Exactly
 loufghyslaufey: Dang it...
  Simriel: At least to me
 Lord_Hosk: I don't see that piece of fuzz anymore, it looked like it landed on Ians ear
 tajessa: @Simriel 100%
  Simriel: @hawktonguebaby Pricy?
cidalfos: Drinking the 'ardcoat. Very nice.
 Despoiler98: remember the year James just walked in to get some of the scotch?
 loufghyslaufey: It's been the nigh hour...
 Atarra: a lovely season to you all  
Oscelot: @Lord_Hosk Piece of fuzz? toy? toy!
 BigDaddyBland87: @Despoiler98 Truly memorable
 Brozard: Anyone else wrapping presents to this? I just finished my sister-in-law’s Golden Girls ornaments
 PharaohBender27: @Despoiler98 ... I do not. Which year was that, if you know?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: @Oscelot Plus being able to enjoy a thing as a community with no judgement
Oscelot: @BigDaddyBland87 A true upset that one
 Despoiler98: oh shoot I dont remember
 hawktonguebaby: @simriel Quite! https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/228052/ardmore-1998-eld
 lirazel64: We have actual snow on the actual ground.
Oscelot: @Thefluffiestguineapig Bus yeah
 Despoiler98: any remember what year that was?
  amative1: 2017
 kireawolf: @Serpens77 So is a book club now just a taco club?
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Was the James coming to get whiskey more or less of an upset than adding a log?
 Despoiler98: @amative1 nice
 Serpens77: @kireawolf always has been
 PharaohBender27: @Brozard Not me, because I am notoriously terrible at wrapping 
 loufghyslaufey: Well, maybe if? LRR  wanted? To rerun all of their Cameron & Ian Crimmus Streams of all time? Again?
 margieargie: @Thefluffiestguineapig More than the log, less than Garlandfall
Oscelot: @hawktonguebaby *wheeze* dear gods. I'm always kind of glad I don't/can't drink when I see the prices
 loufghyslaufey: I'd tune in for that
  Simriel: I mean that's not your average bottle
  CantWearHats: rather than a lot of presens, I'm making a cake this year so it would be a little weird to wrap it first
 BigDaddyBland87: @PharaohBender27 Same. When wrapping presents this year, I was in charge of tape

  amative1: I did a full audit of every year's show earlier this year for the VST, so I watched ALL of them. James was called out on one year, 2017 (year #3)
 lirazel64: Cam is turning a high number of pages this year.
 Dog_of_Myth: Now the beer is starting to hit
 eshplode: @Brozard I should be wrapping, but I've decided to just join them sitting in silence
NickDeezl: Yeah, they usually bust out some pretty special bottles for this
 Dog_of_Myth: 10% is no joke
 kireawolf: @Serpens77 That also means that there is exists holy tacos
 Dog_of_Myth: But man is it tasty
 Lord_Hosk: @lirazel64 He's a maniac Maniac on the chair... and he's reading like he's never read before
 Despoiler98: I'm flying an ME 262 against some bomber bots in war thunder
 PharaohBender27: @Dog_of_Myth That is approaching wine levels
  Sarah_Serinde: Chat I would like to report that the floofy cat is purring up a storm
 BigDaddyBland87: @kireawolf Aren't all tacos holy?
 MerrimanLyon: I'm really appreciating Cam's sweater and the color coordination going on between Cam and Ian

 loufghyslaufey: @sarah_serinde yeah, well... Come for the rerun, stay for the commentary, chat?    
 RockPusher: Sarah_Serinde ohhhhhhhhhh yeeeeeeeah
 Dog_of_Myth: @PharaohBender27 True but I like good tasting beers.
Oscelot: Hey chat, if you want any really gentle non standard christmas music for after this, look up John Dowland. He's a lute composer from... uh... the 15-1600s
 Singenmeister: @dog_of_myth Get yourself some 15% barrel-aged stout and sleep the day away
 tajessa: I always think I should get a book out and read along with Cam... but then I would miss out on chat, and sip counter
  mtvcdm: The book I'm into... it's a university press and the author never got out of the mindset of needing to write like it's his dissertation, so this is a slog and a half
 Thefluffiestguineapig: Floof cat purrs are best
Oscelot: @Sarah_Serinde Excellent report. Please continue to administer pets and inform us if the situation changes
 Laogeodritt: oscelot: Dowland is excellent  Haven't studied any of his Christmas music but I've worked on... two pieces of his arranged for classical guitar, I think?
 kireawolf: @BigDaddyBland87 I am learning so much from chat today
 calculated_uncertainties: Sting did a whole album of John dowland music

 Brozard: Ian switching legs like it’s Daybound/Nightbound

  CantWearHats: that might add another minute for injury time
 kireawolf: This drink ill intentions
 Lord_Hosk: Remember that time we almost Lost Ian? that was terrifying chat
 definenull: having a live fire coupled with good whisky might have contributed to those
  mtvcdm: Revving up the 'Miscues' montage
 Arclight_Dynamo: No, this drink demands respect and patience.
 RandomTrivia: I choose to believe that Paul sets them going, then goes off to do something else for 45 minutes with an alarm set, and that this time he missed the alarm 
Oscelot: @RandomTrivia *snerk*
  ritchards: they had 5 minutes of opening, so it is only now ticking into the one hour mark

Oscelot: @Despoiler98 Oooo curry
ghyllnox: @RandomTrivia As long as nobody has to use the restroom they're probably good for a little while
 lirazel64: Extra long for tenth anniversary?
 Arclight_Dynamo: "Why don't we just not go offline to see how long they stay?" - James, probably
 BusTed: bottle's not empty yet
bramble_st: The pacing is incredible
 Cptasparagus: I know how to get Cameron to crack
 Cptasparagus: Mechanicussy
Oscelot: @Arclight_Dynamo I could see him saying this... xd
  Sarah_Serinde: That does sound like something James would do
Oscelot: @Oscelot er XD
 tajessa: @Arclight_Dynamo  I could see that happening
 CaptainSpam: I doubt they can see chat there.
 Laogeodritt: arclight_dynamo: is 'they' Cam and Ian, or chat? =V

 stippledotter: Wax figure imitation competition is going hard this year!
 ButButTheJesus: @Cptasparagus 
 RandomTrivia: @Arclight_Dynamo The most James power move 
 Gekyouryuu: @Laogeodritt yes
 Lord_Hosk: How can they stand to not wipe that fuzz away it must be tickling them
ThorSokar: @Cptasparagus Bold of you to assume they even have the chat on
  mtvcdm: If you look just right it's like thte fire's coming out of the bottle
 Fuzzra: I'm sending my girlfriend live updates. She's not obviously angry with me yet.
 definenull: I wonder what's the tech situation like for this apparently remote stream
 MarkovDescendant: I can't quite make it out. What is Cameron reading this year?
 lirazel64: Fire's dying back again.
Oscelot: @Fuzzra That's a keeper!
 accountmadeforants: @RandomTrivia Evil Paul realized that their contract said they wouldn't be paid for the stream if they left during, but not for how long the stream should be. So he's testing the limits.
 LathosTiran: !what
