Leon Day Chat Recap with Elf Crash Murphy
Elf Crash Murphy was the featured guest in the Leon Day North Pole Chat and below is the transcript of that conversation between Elf Crash, Elf Ernest and a host of excited visitors. Elf Crash shared some interesting details about Santa’s new sleigh and discussed a little about doing the news on Christmas Eve on Kringle Radio. This chat had a surprise visit from Santa who shared a little announcement about some plans for Christmas in July.
Here is that entire conversation:
| Elf Ernest | Our chat with Elf Crash will begin at the top of the hour. |
| Elfieuser202 | Hii Elf Ernest |
| Elf Ernest | Hello! |
| Elfieuser202 | Is Santa joining us today? |
| Elf Ernest | No, just Elf Crash today. But….we’ll have an announcement about Santa today. |
| Elfieuser202 | Awesome! |
| Elf Ernest | We have about 15 minutes before Crash is scheduled to be here. You’re early! |
| Elfieuser202 | I’v been waiting. This is my first north pole chat |
| Elf Ernest | Oh really? We’re really glad you are here. |
| Elfieuser202 | Thanks |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, Elf Ernest! It’s been a long time. How are you? |
| Elf Ernest | Hi Elf Ulan. So nice to see you! |
| Elf Ernest | Did that big earthquake in Japan affect you yesterday? |
| Elf Ernest | It sure made me think about you! |
| Elf Ernest | Friends, our chat with Elf Crash begins in about 10 minutes. |
| Elfieuser202 | Is everyone excited for todays north pole chat |
| Elf Ulan | Nice to see you again! Thank you for asking. I’m okay! |
| Elf Ernest | Good. It was a rough day for earthquakes around the world yesterday. Especially in Venezuela. |
| Elf Ernest | Folks remind you there are a few rules for every North Pole Chat. |
| Elf Ernest | I will introduce Elf Crash and have a brief conversation with him. Then we will start taking your questions. |
| Elf Ernest | Given this chat is happening on a week day instead of the usual time, we are not expecting a lot of people to be here today. |
| Elf Ulan | Oh, I didn:t know it. I pray for people who live there are okay. |
| Elf Ernest | That will give you plenty of opportunity to ask whatever questions you have. |
| Elf Ernest | Yes, Elf Ulan. We are sending some relief sleighs there with food and necessary things. |
| Elf Ernest | Our chat begins in five minutes. |
| Elf Ernest | Hello Elf Holly. Elf Landon. Hello everyone! |
| Elfieuser202 | Hello to everyone here |
| Elf Holly | Hi! I’m excited to be here. This is my first North Pole chat ever. I haven’t been able to go to the other ones. |
| Elf Ernest | It’s nice to have you Elf Holly! |
| Elfieuser202 | Me too Elf Holly! |
| Elf Holly | I may not be able to stay long for this one either. I’m on vacation in Hawaii right now. |
| Elf Ernest | Our guest today is Elf Crash Murphy, who I am sure most of you know. |
| Elf Ernest | Elf Crash is the International Director of Santa Trackers |
| Elf Ernest | And he is the Eye in the Sky reporter for North Pole Radio News who follows Santa every Christmas Eve. |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, welcome to North Pole Chat today! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Wow, Elf Ernest. I wasn’t expecting so many people here today. Welcome Everyone! |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, Elf Crash! |
| Elf Ernest | This should be fun. And maybe a little different being a week day |
| Elfieuser202 | Hello Elf Crash! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Hello Elf Ulan! Are you ok? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Hi Elfieuser202! |
| Elf Holly | Hi Elf Crash! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Are you in Connecticut Elfieuser202? |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, I’m okay! How are you? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Hello Elf Holly! How’s Hawaii? |
| Elfieuser202 | No i left |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’m doing great. Very excited. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | So where are you chatting from today Elfieuser202? |
| Elf Holly | Hawaii is amazing! We just got here yesterday. Thank you for asking! |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, can we jump right in with questions? |
| Elfieuser202 | From New York |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Wow – New York, Hawaii, Japan – we have people here from all over today! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Yes, Elf Ernest. I’m ready. |
| Elf Ernest | Would you like to start with my questions or the questions of the others here? |
| Elfieuser202 | Can I ask a question? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Let’s start with Elfieuser202 |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Go ahead, ask your question. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | We’ll get to you, Elf Ernest |
| Elf Ernest | Sounds like a plan! |
| Elfieuser202 | My question is that you know the story of Rudolph well it says that the other reindeer bullied him does Rudolph forgive them |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Yes, the Rudolph story is true. But it was a long, long time ago and yes, Rudolph harbors no ill will towards any of them. |
| Elfieuser202 | OK |
| Elf Crash Murphy | And funny thing is, nobody bullies him anymore. Rudolph is a pretty big boy! |
| Elf Ernest | Is Rudolph back at the North Pole yet? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | If he is, I haven’t seen him. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | But there are many, many reindeer back at the North Pole, which is really unsual for June for sure. |
| Elf Ernest | I can’t keep straight how many of the reindeer are working on the test flights. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | The only one I know about are Donner and Blitzen so far. |
| Elf Ernest | Okay, who else has a question for Elf Crash? |
| Elf Ulan | I’m glad to hear that, Elf Crash. Rudolph story was different! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Rudolph is a very interesting reindeer. |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, I thought Elf Frank was going to be here today |
| Elf Crash Murphy | He likely is we maybe just can’t see him. |
| Elf Holly | I have a question. How different is the new sleigh design from a traditional sleigh design? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’m suppose to get together with Frank to record a new podcast episode. |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Ernest, I have a question, too |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Elf Holly, the new sleigh design I’m told is really different. But I can’t describe it for you because I actually haven’t seen it yet. There’s a lot of hush-hush about it. |
| Elf Landon | Hi |
| Elf Ernest | Hi Elf Landon |
| Elf Ernest | Go ahead Elf Ulan |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Elf Ernest! |
| Elf Landon | I am so excited to be here can I be apart of the tracking Santa around the world podcast |
| Elf Ernest | The radio show? |
| Elf Landon | Yes it is my favortie |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Are you a radio guy, Elf Landon? |
| Elf Landon | Absolutely |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Really!!! I love to hear that. |
| Elf Landon | And I am a believer in Santa he is one of my idols |
| Elf Crash Murphy | You’re talking about the Christmas Eve Santa tracking on Kringle Radio, right? |
| Elf Landon | YES |
| Elf Ernest | That’s great to hear, Elf Landon. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | How long have you been following the broadcast? |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, did Santa or some elf name test slieghs? I think I didn:t hear in past years |
| Elf Ernest | Maybe you need Elf Landon on the sleigh with you following Santa this year, Crash. |
| Elf Landon | 1 year I signed up to be a elf in November of last year |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Elf Ulan. That’s a good question and I actually asked that same question in a meeting, cause naming the test sleighs is new. |
| Elf Landon | It would be a special honor to be a part of that |
| Elf Crash Murphy | What I heard was that Roger Star over a Flight Command requested the test sleighs had names. They were having a hard time with keeping track of all the changes. |
| Elf Landon | Elf crash I have to ask something |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I don’t know for sure who is selecting the names. But it is clear to me they are using some kind of alphbetical order |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Go ahead Elf Landon. |
| Elf Landon | Thank you, if I were to be on the podcast what job would I get and if I do good can I be on Kringle radio |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, who do we have to talk to get Elf Landon on the radio show? |
| Elf Landon | On tracking Santa around the world |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Elf Landon, I think Elf Frank is the guy we have to talk to. Where are you located? |
| Elf Landon | Virginia |
| Elf Crash Murphy | The Tracking Santa Around the World radio broadcast is a pretty crazy production. Literally hundreds of elves around the world are involved with it. |
| Elf Landon | Are we able to get Frank in here? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Ok, you’re in Sector 5? |
| Elfieuser202 | Elf Crash I have one more question |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Frank might or might not be here right now. If not, I’ll talk to him on your behalf. It’s only June. We should be able to get together on this. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Go ahead Elfieuser202 |
| Elf Landon | Crash you are a angel |
| Elf Ernest | Frank’s on his phone, he just texted me. |
| Elf Landon | OMG HE DID |
| Elfieuser202 | Who came up with the idea to make the santa believers map? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | HaHAha…my mother might have a different opinion on that angel business |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’m not sure who had the map idea. This will be our 2nd year with it. |
| Elf Landon | lol if I were called a angel my mother wouldn’t agree either |
| Elf Ernest | I think it was Santa’s idea |
| Elf Ulan | Elf Crash, thank you! I didn’t notice that’s alphbetical order, and it’s a great idea test sleighs has their names. I feel familiar with them. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | I’ll let Elf Roger know that, Elf Ulan! |
| Elf Landon | Crash are we able to personal chat? |
| Elf Ernest | Elf Landon, are you on the new elf community at SantaTrackers.net? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | No, they have rules about that Landon. |
| Elf Landon | No I am not should I join it? |
| Elf Landon | I will be right back and I will do |
| Elf Ernest | Elf Landon, please send an email to santatrackers.net and we’ll set you up there. I think you and Crash and Frank could talk there. |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Elf Crash! I’m happy! |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, how is the new Elf Community working out at SantaTrackers.net? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Fantastic. I think it’s going to be awesome this year! I cannot thank Elf Max enough for the job he has done. He saved it. |
| Elf Ernest | He did? How? |
| Elf Landon | Oh I don’t have any money I am so sorry do I have to join to be part of the broadcast? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa was going to scrap it. Elf Max worked night and day to get him to consider it. We visited him in Vancouver and he gave Santa a great presentation. |
| Elf Ulan | Yeah, thank you so much to Elf Max!!! |
| Elf Landon | LETS GO ELF MAX |
| Elf Ernest | You don’t need any money, Landon. Just send an email to santatrackers.net and I’ll take care of it for you. |
| Elfieuser202 | Tell Elf Max I thank him |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Maxy really hit it out of the park. I think it’s going to be perfect. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Landon, we’ll get it together. |
| Elf Landon | THANK YOU I WILL DO |
| Elfieuser202 | Can you guys give us spoilers about what the next podcast episode is gonna be |
| Elf Landon | What should I say |
| Elf Ernest | SANTA!!!! |
| Elf Landon | NO WAY |
| Elf Crash Murphy | The next podcast will likely be an update about Santa’s Sleigh |
| Elf Ulan | Hello, SANTA!!! How are you? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | And speaking of the Big Guy…here he is. Santa, I’m shocked! |
| Santa Claus | Good, good — hello everyone. I didn’t mean to interrupt. |
| Elf Ernest | It’s all good, Santa. We’re glad you’re here. |
| Elf Landon | OMG SANTA I HAVE A QUESTION |
| Elfieuser202 | HII SANTA |
| Elf Landon | this is insane |
| Santa Claus | We’re not here to take away from the chat. Mrs. Claus is with me, she fed me lunch. I just want to mention I’ll be doing North Pole Chat next month as part of Christmas in July. So I’ll take questions then. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Hi mrs. Claus! |
| Elf Landon | OHHHHH OK |
| Elf Ernest | Okay, Santa. That’s awesome. Thanks for the announcement. |
| Elf Landon | Elf Ernest |
| Elf Ernest | If you have a quick question for Santa, ask it! |
| Elf Landon | I will ask during Xmas in july |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Santa, are you really at Flight Command full time right now? |
| Elfieuser202 | Me Too |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Santa! We’re so happy! |
| Santa Claus | Yes, Crash. At least for now. I’ve got time now to focus on the new sleigh. It’s a very big deal. Very important to me. |
| Elf Ernest | What was wrong with last year’s sleigh? |
| Elf Ulan | Santa, how are the test sleighs so far? |
| Santa Claus | Nothing was wrong, Ernest. We’re just trying out some new ideas |
| Elf Landon | I AM CRYING CUZ SANTAS HERE |
| Santa Claus | The test flights are going very well. But too many of our sleigh engineers are focusing on the wrong thing. They are worried about speed. And that’s not the thing. |
| Elf Landon | I AM GOING INSANE I AM SO HAPPY |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Oh…Interesting. So…what’s the thing? |
| Santa Claus | We’re not ready to talk about that yet. |
| Elf Ernest | Darn. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Way to keep the suspense up, Santa. |
| Elf Landon | SANTA YOUR MY HERO |
| Santa Claus | It’s early in the testing and Crash, as you have pointed out in the news, we’re rushing it. |
| Santa Claus | Hi Elf Landon. Thank you, my boy. |
| Santa Claus | I have a sneaky suspicion you would be great on North Pole Radio News, Landon. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | So when will we understand what’s going on with the sleigh? |
| Elf Ulan | Thank you, Santa. I hope the test flights are going well and safety! |
| Santa Claus | It might be a while, Crash. These tests take a million steps and we’re on like step #3. |
| Santa Claus | So far so good, Elf Ulan. |
| Santa Claus | Can i just say I really appreciate all you do Elf Ulan? |
| Elf Crash Murphy | She’s the best! |
| Elf Landon | SANTA WILL I ACTUALLY |
| Elf Ernest | Friends, any last questions for Elf Crash or Santa? |
| Elf Landon | BE ABLE TO BE ON IT |
| Elfieuser202 | Santa are the elves tired? |
| Elf Landon | THE RADIO SHOW OMG |
| Santa Claus | Landon, it looks like you’ve got a friend in Elf Ernest. He’ll set you up. |
| Elf Landon | OK HOW CAN I GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU FRANK OR ERNEST |
| Elf Ernest | Crash, we didn’t get to ask you all I had in mind. |
| Elf Holly | I’m so glad you were able to join the chat today, Santa! Hope everything goes well with test flights. |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Ok, Ernest. Can you send me the questions and I’ll have Frank ask them on the podcast. |
| Elf Ernest | Ok. |
| Elf Ernest | Landon, email me at “santatrackers.net |
| Elf Ulan | Aww, thank you, Santa! Thank you, ELf Crash! I’ll do my best! |
| Santa Claus | Thanks everyone. I’ll bow out now. Thanks for being here on the Thursday and I’ll talk next month! |
| Elf Ernest | Great chat, everyone! |
| Elf Ernest | See you soon! |
| Elf Crash Murphy | Bye everyone! |
| Elfieuser202 | Bye! |
