1:33

everyone and happy holidays from

1:36

all of us here

1:38

at at Leviathan It's It's and

1:40

I'm really happy to

1:42

get the chance to

1:45

reach out to all

1:47

of you and send

1:49

out the warmest holiday

1:51

wishes to everyone that's

1:54

listened and supported Leviathan

1:56

for over a decade.

1:58

As many of you

2:00

know, for the Christmas

2:03

season means a lot

2:05

to us the we've been

2:07

trying to put out

2:10

a new Christmas episode

2:12

every year. We've done

2:14

one set in Leviathan

2:16

and another following done one

2:19

set in Leviathan and Lecent. And this year

2:21

we really wanted to do another one, but

2:23

I'm really sorry to say that we just

2:25

didn't have the time and resources to pull

2:28

one together this year. But that's for a

2:30

very good reason. You see, we've been working

2:32

really hard over the past year, actually two

2:34

years, to prepare for effectively a relaunch of

2:37

our studio. And it starts with the Invenios

2:39

expedition. This is a new show we have

2:41

coming out in February and is our second

2:43

Leviathan Chronicle Spinoff. And it follows the adventures

2:46

of Tully and Oberlin Oberlin. discovering the Alondo

2:48

Cortez shipwreck at the end of the Leviathan

2:50

Chronicles. As some of you learned in our

2:53

epilogue episode, Tullian Oberlin used the money they

2:55

collected from the shipwreck to build their dream

2:57

research boat, the Invenios. Our lead sound designer

2:59

Robin has outdone himself with sound effects that

3:02

give the new show a more cinematic field

3:04

than we've ever had, and Luke, our composer,

3:06

has written such a dynamic, exciting soundtrack. And

3:08

I'll be honest with you. It's the biggest

3:11

show we've ever done. I think we're close

3:13

to 100 actors over 13 episodes and we

3:15

really wanted to bring all the excitement of

3:17

a summer action movie to your headphones. In

3:20

fact, if you want, you can listen to

3:22

a fully finished episode right now on our

3:24

new Patriot page. It's one of the first

3:26

episodes in the Invenios Expeditions and it gives

3:29

you a sneak peek at some of the

3:31

new characters and factions that are going to

3:33

be shaping the larger Leviathan universe in the

3:35

season to come. We're really excited about this

3:38

new Patriot page. We just launched it a

3:40

few months ago, and it's got our entire

3:42

archive of ad-free episodes from all of our

3:45

shows, including bonus content back from when we

3:47

started in 2008, as well as soundtracks, audio

3:49

books, concept art, and more. We're going to

3:51

try and make this the new center of

3:54

the Leviathan community, and it's where I'll be

3:56

communicating directly with our listeners, and we would

3:58

love to have you as a member. Just

4:00

go to patron. slash Leviathan Chronicles, and it's

4:03

super easy to sign up. Dude, you gotta

4:05

come downstairs. Dude, what the hell? What are

4:07

you doing? I'm in the middle of- Sir,

4:09

come on. You gotta come quit. You're not

4:12

gonna believe- It's crazy. Robert, dude, you know

4:14

you're not allowed in the secret layer until

4:16

you finish cutting all the sound effects. Forget

4:18

those, this is more important. More important than

4:21

sound effects? What are you talking about? You

4:23

gotta come downstairs, man. There's something you gotta

4:25

see. Something, something really weird is happening. But

4:28

I'm in the middle of giving our holiday

4:30

message out to all of our listeners. Nobody

4:32

cares, man. Really, I'm coming. Damn. So much

4:34

for Christmas. And watch out for that duck!

4:37

Oh come on, that was just a sound

4:39

effect. You do the same type of thing

4:41

when you write the narration. Come on, hurry,

4:43

you gotta see this. Okay, okay, jeez. Christov

4:46

speltly exited the recording studio. You know we

4:48

can hear that? And moved like a sleek

4:50

pamfard down the stairs of the Leviathan audio

4:52

secret lair. Dude, this is just your brother's

4:55

house. It's not a secret layer. Okay, now,

4:57

now, will you just tell me, what the

4:59

hell, what the hell, what the hell, you

5:01

drag me, you drag me all the way

5:04

down the way down the way down the

5:06

way down the way down here down here

5:08

for? You know, I only do these annual

5:11

updates once a year to... Look! Robin swept

5:13

his hand across the living room. All the

5:15

Christmas ornaments are gone. A fur tree stood

5:17

in the corner, bare and unadorned. What the

5:20

hell happened to our tree? Lacking ornaments and

5:22

tensile. And what about all the presents we

5:24

had? Under the tree, where'd they go? I

5:26

don't know. It was like the ornaments. All

5:29

the presents just suddenly vanished. Man, that sucks.

5:31

I got your manscaper by the way. By

5:33

the way. Look at the stockings. Christoff and

5:35

Robin felt a slight cool breeze enter the

5:38

room and watch the stockings dissolve into the

5:40

air like thin silver smoke. Dude, what is

5:42

happening? Oh my god, look at your train!

5:44

A small model train chugged along the floor

5:47

passing by Christoff and Robin's feet before it

5:49

started to grow silvery and translucent. Who's

5:53

that? It must be Luke. He's supposed to drop

5:55

by so we can listen to the soundtrack for

5:57

the new show. Hey,

6:01

you guys! Luke! Luke!

6:03

You gotta turn down

6:06

your hero music! You're

6:08

not fighting Mr. T-in-law!

6:11

So what happened? Okay,

6:13

okay, all right, so

6:16

I was in Macy's,

6:18

buying a manscaper, when

6:21

all of a sudden,

6:23

the Christmas tree in

6:26

the middle of the

6:28

store vanished into thin

6:31

air. And then all

6:33

the Christmas music went

6:36

away and got replaced

6:38

with Van Halen. Whoa,

6:41

dude. Wait, Van Halen

6:43

or Van Hagar? Hagar!

6:46

Oh! It's like everywhere

6:48

we look, Christmas is

6:51

disappearing! But how can

6:53

that be? A

6:57

heavy-set man in a red velvet

6:59

suit and white beard stood near

7:01

the window of the living room.

7:03

Is that who I think it

7:06

is? It can't be. Our secret

7:08

layer of security sucks. Look out

7:10

the window! Outside the window, a

7:13

floating red sleigh hovered in the

7:15

air, suspended over the surrounding moat,

7:17

filled with man-eating crocodiles. Dude, give

7:20

it up. Your brother doesn't have

7:22

a moat, and those crocks swam

7:24

into the sewers years ago. Sh-!

7:27

So who are you? Well, I'm

7:29

not David Lee Roth. I think

7:31

I know who you are. Your

7:33

Santa Claus. Someone's catching on. What

7:36

are you doing in our secret

7:38

lair? I'm here because I need

7:40

your help to save Christmas. Dude,

7:43

it's a clear night outside. But

7:45

Santa, I'm Jewish. Look, look, Santa.

7:47

I know we just look like

7:50

really courageous heroes, but... Really? We're

7:52

just audio drama producers. Oh, trust

7:54

me. There's no confusion on... My

7:57

part? Then how can we help?

7:59

Well, I'm sure you've noticed some

8:01

of the strange events going on

8:03

around the world. Robin's train is

8:06

gone. My manscaper disappeared and Lo's

8:08

hero music is still too loud.

8:10

Santa, everything's disappearing like a Thano's

8:13

snap. Can you tell us what's

8:15

going on? I'm afraid all is

8:17

not well in the North Pole.

8:20

It's why I need your help.

8:22

It's how we will save Christmas.

8:24

I'm Jewish. Why us, Santa? Because

8:27

no one understands the threads of

8:29

the immortal world better than you,

8:31

and I need your assistance with

8:33

one specific group of immortals. The

8:36

Darkwater agents? The Honor Guard of

8:38

Leviathan? The Sea Snake Division? Oh,

8:40

that's nice callback. No, no, this

8:43

is a group that a vanch

8:45

lion created very early in Leviathan's

8:47

history. Who, Santa? The elves on

8:50

the North Pole. Dude, it's not

8:52

even raining outside. Santa, what happened

8:54

to your elves? Did you run

8:57

out of candy canes? Global warming?

8:59

Did you know that candy canes

9:01

are like red bowl for elves?

9:03

They use them to kind of...

9:06

The elves have gone rogue! Wait,

9:08

hold up, like your Christmas elves,

9:10

the ones that make toys and

9:13

you know, work for you? Yes,

9:15

exactly. They're angry, tired, and now...

9:17

They've unionized. Frankly, I've been an

9:20

advocate of equitable labor law. Maybe

9:22

they need a candy cane now

9:24

and then, so that they don't,

9:27

you know, like what? Wait, wait,

9:29

wait, they unionized? How's that even

9:31

possible? Aren't they like a public

9:33

service? No, no, they formed an

9:36

immortal workers union, but they've taken

9:38

it too far. And now they've

9:40

stolen the Christmas spirit as a

9:43

bargaining chip. Wait. How do you

9:45

even steal the Christmas spirit? Is

9:47

it like a thing? Oh, it's

9:50

a thing. It's a very powerful

9:52

thing. It's the magical essence that

9:54

powers all. of Christmas. Without it

9:57

the holiday ceases to exist. Hold

9:59

on, let me get this straight.

10:01

Your elves formed a union, got

10:04

pissed, and then stole your Christmas

10:06

spirit? Yes. And now they've hidden

10:08

it deep within the North Pole.

10:10

It's completely cut off from my

10:13

magic and the entire holiday is

10:15

collapsing. So this is why my

10:17

tree disappeared. Yes, without the Christmas

10:20

spirit, holy joy fades! A Decorations

10:22

vanish, presence disappear, and... Van Hager

10:24

takes over all the playlists. Exactly.

10:27

It's chaos. Okay, Santa, listen, we're

10:29

with you so far, but why

10:31

do you need us to fix

10:34

this? I mean, you're Santa Claus.

10:36

You've got flying reindeer, a magical

10:38

sleigh, and a whole army of...

10:40

Oh, wait, right, the elves. Precisely.

10:43

You see, Kristof, Robin, Robin, Luke,

10:45

you're the perfect team. I mean,

10:47

I... I'm flattered but Sano we're

10:50

not exactly save the world material

10:52

on the contrary Christoff your narration

10:54

literally alters reality you can guide

10:57

us through the most treacherous parts

10:59

of the North Pole with your

11:01

words okay but but what if

11:04

I narrate us straight into an

11:06

avalanche or something oh we'll take

11:08

that risk Robin your sound effects

11:10

have power in the North Pole

11:13

they can create diversions open magical

11:15

barriers or some in a duck

11:17

duck Well, we'll work on that.

11:20

What about me, Santa? Well, Luke,

11:22

your music can inspire and stir

11:24

the soul. It has the power

11:27

to rally even the angriest of

11:29

elves. Cool. I've always wanted to

11:31

start a North Pole mosh pit.

11:34

But wait, Santa, the North Pole

11:36

is thousands of miles away and

11:38

the secret layer mobile is in

11:40

the shop. How do we even

11:43

get there? With this. Santa stepped

11:45

back. and dramatically gestured to the

11:47

open window, where his gleaming red

11:50

sleigh hovered, glowing with Christmas magic.

11:52

Dude, that's a floating sleigh. Quick,

11:54

pop a board, we're heading for

11:57

the North Pole. Whoa, does it

11:59

have sea warmers? No. Wait. Okay,

12:01

hold on. You're telling me you

12:04

want us to jump into your

12:06

slave, fly to the North Pole,

12:08

fight a unionized Alpha uprising, and

12:10

somehow rescue the Christmas spirit. Wasn't

12:13

that why you got into audio

12:15

drama in the first place? Yeah.

12:17

As a matter of fact, it

12:20

is. So what do your boys

12:22

say? What the hell? I'm in.

12:24

Me too. But I call shotgun

12:27

and I'm DJing the ride. Fine,

12:29

I'm in. But if I end

12:31

up narrating my own death, I'm

12:34

holding each of you responsible. And

12:36

with that, the brave, if slightly

12:38

underqualified production team, climbed aboard Santa's

12:40

sleigh that hovered outside their window.

12:43

So, what happens if we don't

12:45

pull this off? You don't want

12:47

to know. It's Van Hagar forever,

12:50

isn't it? Santa Slade shot forward

12:52

like a rifle, yet none of

12:54

the passengers felt a single jolt

12:57

of momentum. This is amazing! The

12:59

world blurred beneath them in a

13:01

kaleidoscope of color. Stars shimmered above

13:04

their frosting lights twinkling as the

13:06

sleigh carved a path through the

13:08

moonlit sky. Look casually leaned over

13:10

the side, letting his hand cut

13:13

through the icy mist trailing behind

13:15

them. We're literally above the clouds!

13:17

Hey, is that a Czech sleigh

13:20

engine light? Yeah, ignore that. Santa,

13:22

how much longer until we get

13:24

to the North Pole? Oh, not

13:27

far now. Hold on, Luke, we're

13:29

about to breach the Christmas veil.

13:31

What's the Christmas veil? It's a

13:34

protective barrier that keeps the North

13:36

Pole hidden from the motor world.

13:38

It's powered by magical energy. Mostly,

13:41

uh, candy cam residue and good

13:43

vibes about dumb hanks. Hoh-hoh-huh-huh. Race

13:45

yourselves! Suddenly, the sleigh

13:47

lurched forward, and the sky

13:49

turned a vivid green, swirling

13:52

like a cosmic whirlpool. I

13:54

told you guys about big

13:56

candy cane energy! The sleigh

13:58

zipped through the nest and

14:00

just as quickly... as it

14:02

began, it ended. The clouds

14:04

parted revealing a breathtaking view

14:06

of the North Pole. Santa?

14:09

Is that an entire city

14:11

made out of gingerbread? It

14:13

was. Below them, the iconic

14:15

candy-colored buildings of Santa's workshop

14:17

were eerily dark. The peppermint

14:19

streetlights flickered weakly, and the

14:21

once bustling town square was

14:23

deserted. Oh no. It looks

14:26

abandoned. Santa? What? What happened

14:28

here? The elves. They abandoned

14:30

their stations. Toy production is

14:32

ground to a halt without

14:34

the Christmas spirit. The entire

14:36

workshop shut down. But why

14:38

is everything so dark? They

14:40

diverted all the workshop's power

14:42

to their headquarters. The candy

14:45

cane citadel. It's an impenetrable

14:47

fortress built entirely on candy

14:49

canes and sugar plum steel.

14:51

Sugar plum steel? Yeah, it's

14:53

very sturdy and delicious. Okay,

14:55

let me get this straight.

14:57

The elves stole the Christmas

14:59

spirit, shut down your entire

15:02

operation. Another hold up in

15:04

a fortress made of candy?

15:06

Exactly. Great. We're walking into

15:08

Willie Wanka's warbook. It's like

15:10

dwarf Delta Force. Okay, so

15:12

what exactly do you expect

15:14

us to do, Santa? I

15:16

expect you to be yourselves.

15:19

Be ourselves? I'm not even

15:21

sure I like myself. What

15:23

does that even mean? Without

15:25

answering, Santa pitched his sleigh

15:27

downwards, beginning its descent and

15:29

gliding smoothly over the darkened

15:31

gingerbread rooftops. The flying sled

15:33

landed with a soft thud

15:35

in front of the gargantuan

15:38

candy cane citadel. The fortress

15:40

rose high above the snowy

15:42

landscape, a massive structure of

15:44

spiraling candy cane towers and

15:46

menacing gum drop battlements glowing

15:48

eerily under the pale arctic

15:50

moonlight. Oh yeah,

15:52

this looks super inviting. And

15:54

yet strangely appetizing. This is

15:56

so much... sugar. My dentist

15:59

would literally pass out. Santa,

16:01

how exactly do we get

16:03

in? I mean, I don't

16:05

see a doorbell anywhere. Leave

16:07

that to me. Santa strode

16:09

confidently up to the candy

16:11

gates, raised his hands, and

16:13

bellowed with a voice that

16:15

seemed to shake the very

16:17

foundation of the North Pole.

16:19

Oh gates of peppermen and

16:21

pride, swing wide your candied

16:23

arms, the cause commands your

16:25

passaging. God, he's going full

16:27

gander. You'll never, to Christmas,

16:29

charm! The rock candy gates

16:31

creaked open, revealing a throng

16:34

of elves standing in formation.

16:36

Upon seeing Santa, they erupted

16:38

into chaos. Some cheering, some

16:40

jeering, that tiny fists raised

16:42

in defiance. Whoa. Look at

16:44

them all. It's like brave

16:46

heart, but with really high

16:48

blood sugar. Why do they

16:50

all have candy came strapped

16:52

to their backs? Their weapons.

16:54

They've licked the tips until

16:56

they're sharp. Okay, well, that's

16:58

mildly terrifying. And a little

17:00

gross. There's thousands of them.

17:02

We're gonna need a bigger

17:04

sleigh. Focus, guys. Santa, what

17:06

do we do now? But

17:08

before Santa could respond, the

17:11

elves parted, making way for

17:13

a single figure to emerge.

17:15

Their leader, the great elf

17:17

boss. She was dressed sharply

17:19

in a pinstripe red suit

17:21

with a peppermint bow tie,

17:23

and her shiny black boots

17:25

clicked ominously against the frosty

17:27

ground. Belly three feet tall,

17:29

she carried herself with the

17:31

gravitas of a four-star general.

17:33

by enough you're taking things too

18:32

taken things too far.

The Christmas spirit doesn't

hold on on I get it. it. You're

18:57

mad. mad. The The labor conditions you've

19:00

been working under are working under are vaguely to

19:02

say the least? We have

19:04

demands! have demands. Like what? Better

19:06

working conditions, health benefits,

19:08

health and paid and paid holidays.

19:10

I thought you you got Christmas off.

19:12

holidays, your holidays! We

19:14

want Arbor Day off. Arbor Okay, I

19:16

kind of kinda respect that

19:18

one. But the the mean,

19:21

I that's not solving anything. It's

19:23

not about solving anything, it's

19:26

about leverage. anything. It's about you

19:40

should get Arbor Day off because math

19:43

is And High Day. High Day. And? And

19:45

what peppermint? And I really like eating

19:47

pie. What kind of Bullberry

19:49

crumb? Oh, that's one that's one of my

19:51

favorites. Mine's you. Santa, look, despite look, I look

19:53

despite what I look like, I'm

19:55

not an expert on paranormal labor

19:57

relations with magical creatures, but but is it?

20:00

is it really so hard just to

20:02

work something out? Maybe find a

20:04

little compromise, perhaps meet in the

20:06

middle and find some common ground

20:08

with your elves. Fine, I'm willing

20:10

to negotiate, but first, the Christmas

20:13

spirit must be returned. Oh, you

20:15

want the Christmas spirit back? That's

20:17

adorable, but I'm afraid it's not

20:19

that simple. Why not? Because the

20:21

Christmas spirit isn't an object anymore.

20:23

It's not something you can just

20:25

take back like a defective sweater.

20:28

So the Christmas spirit is just

20:30

gone? We've been trying to tell

20:32

Santa for years. You can't force

20:34

people into the Christmas spirit with

20:36

apple products, shiny toys, and overpriced

20:38

decorations. You have to earn it.

20:40

You have to make people feel

20:43

it again. And how the hell

20:45

are we supposed to do that?

20:47

Figure it out. You're the audio

20:49

drama geniuses. The group exchanged nervous

20:51

glances. Then, after a moment, Christoff

20:53

stepped forward with a determined glint

20:56

in his eye. Do it. We'll

20:58

bring back the Christmas spirit. Peppermint,

21:00

you said this Citadel is secret.

21:02

Yes, from the altar, we can

21:04

speak directly to the hearts and

21:06

minds of humans all over the

21:08

earth. Perfect. Sounds just like podcasting.

21:11

Robin, you're with me. Luke, queue

21:13

up that music. And Santa, get

21:15

your sleigh ready. We're about to

21:17

make more deliveries than Amazon. I

21:19

hate those guys. Now let's queue

21:21

up some narration. Dialing in an

21:23

epic Christmas playlist. And

21:27

soon, the halls of the

21:29

candy cane citadel were filled

21:32

with the comforting sounds of

21:34

familiar and elegant narration. The

21:36

lovely narrator went on to

21:38

describe vivid scenes of holiday

21:40

cheer, speaking the images into

21:43

existence with examples of snowball

21:45

fights among children, of the

21:47

camaraderie of carolers singing along

21:49

snowy streets, of warm fireplaces

21:51

with cups of hot cocoa

21:54

on the mantle. of strangers

21:56

wishing each other Merry Christmas.

21:58

of cookies being placed on

22:00

plates in the chimneys. And

22:03

of course, of children opening

22:05

presents. And soon, the immersive

22:07

imagery was making even the

22:09

grumpiest of owls tear up.

22:11

I think it's working. Look!

22:14

Slowly but surely, the flickering

22:16

lights of the North Pole

22:18

began to blow brighter. The

22:20

darkly streets gradually lit up

22:22

with holiday magic. And the

22:25

candy cane citadel shimmered with

22:27

warm light once more. Oh,

22:29

the Christmas spirit! It's returning!

22:31

Well thank you guys! You

22:33

saved Christmas! You did it!

22:36

You did it! No, we

22:38

did it! We did it!

22:40

We did it! God, you

22:42

guys are just the best!

22:44

Come here! Robin and Luke

22:47

looked at each other. and

22:49

reluctantly stepped towards Christoph's big,

22:51

outstretched arms. Oh, I love

22:53

you guys! Oh! Love me

22:56

too, man! We please do

22:58

our Hanukkah episode next year!

23:00

And as light and warm,

23:02

filled Santa's workshop, and the

23:04

Elvin villages of the North

23:07

Pole, the Christmas spirit was

23:09

slowly restored all across the

23:11

world. Oh, I think you

23:13

guys have earned yourselves an

23:15

express ride home. Pepperman? Would

23:18

you do the honors with

23:20

your Elvis Pixidus? the

23:25

pixie dust. Sure, sorry, getting a

23:27

little caught up in the Christmas

23:30

spirit here. Okay, how about you

23:32

three? Just stand over here and...

23:34

Peppermint gathered the shimmering pixie dust

23:36

off the table and sprinkled it

23:38

in a circle around Christoff, Luke,

23:40

and Robin. The pixie dust swirled

23:43

around the trio like a glittering

23:45

blizzard, lifting them gently off the

23:47

snowy ground. And then, in an

23:49

instant, they vanished in a burst

23:51

of sparkling light. Whoa! Where are

23:54

we? I think we're home. Robin's

23:56

right. We're back in the secret

23:58

layer and look Christoph looked around

24:00

the familiar living room and felt

24:02

a subtle shift in the air.

24:04

Suddenly, round, colorful ornaments blossomed from

24:07

thin air along the branches of

24:09

the majestic fir tree that stood

24:11

in the corner. Festively, the stuned

24:13

presence began to appear and soon

24:15

overflowed beneath the trees branches. And

24:17

from the corner of the room,

24:20

small electric train tracks appeared and

24:22

snaked their way across the room.

24:24

My choo choo! Guys, we really

24:26

did it! We saved Christmas! I

24:28

think you're right! I think we

24:30

actually did. I'm really proud of

24:33

us! Oh, did anyone grab any

24:35

extra pixie dust before we teleported?

24:37

And as the fireplace roared to

24:39

life again, a soft glow filled

24:41

the cozy living room of the

24:44

secret lair. Outside the frosted window

24:46

panes, snowflakes drifted lazily to the

24:48

ground, blanketing the world in peace

24:50

and quiet. Hey, the stockings came

24:52

back. Wait, these are five-eye stock.

24:54

Uh, there must have been some

24:57

sort of mix-up at the North

24:59

Pole. Dude, I think Pepperman has

25:01

a crush on you. No. Oh,

25:03

I felt it. Hey, are we

25:05

ever going to put out another

25:07

Christmas episode again? Well, maybe if

25:10

you stop stepping on ducks. Dude,

25:12

that duck was not there a

25:14

minute ago. It's a magic, man.

25:16

Oh, come on. Wait, is it

25:18

an immortalt an immortal duck? The

25:20

duck is the Christmas spirit. Don't

25:23

you get it? Stop it. You're

25:25

not making that candle. Too late.

25:27

It's canon now. The moral duck.

25:29

Spread the good word. Merry Christmas,

25:31

Ducky. And
